CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FOWLER

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: March 19, 2024
FROM: DAWN E. MARPLE, City Planner
SUBJECT: ACCEPT the 2023 General Plan and Housing Element Annual Progress Report

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Jurisdictions in California are required to submit annual progress reports on the implementation of their General Plan and Housing Element to the Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), respectively.

The Planning Commission heard and accepted the Annual Progress Report at its meeting on March 7, 2024. Staff recommend that the City Council of the City of Fowler accept the 2023 Annual Progress Report for the City of Fowler General Plan and Housing Element, and direct staff to submit the report to OPR and HCD as required by applicable law.

BACKGROUND
Staff has completed the Annual Progress Report for the City of Fowler General Plan and Housing Element for the calendar year of 2023 in accordance with Government Code Section 65400, which requires the City to prepare an Annual Progress Report addressing the status of the General Plan and progress made toward implementing its goals and policies, including the City’s progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs. The progress report must be submitted by April 1 of each year to the City Council, OPR, and HCD.

The attached Annual Progress Report (Attachment A) summarizes the development activity in the City for calendar year 2023.

The General Plan also includes an action item to annually report on the implementation of the growth management policies outlined in the Plan. The City of Fowler included policies related to growth management in the Land Use element to ensure the City expands and land develops in an orderly manner. Areas outside of the existing City Limits are included in various growth tiers and as development occurs in open tiers, additional tiers can be opened. When the General Plan was adopted in April 2023, only the Primary Development Area (PDA) was open.

Annexation of Medium High Density Residential or High Density Residential may occur in 23 Section 9, Item 9B.

Growth Tier I when 112 building permits located on property designated either Medium High Density Residential or High Density Residential in the PDA have been issued. As of December 31, 2023, only 1 such permit had been issued in the PDA.

Annexation of property designated Low Density Residential, Medium Low Density Residential, or Medium Density Residential may occur in Growth Tier I once 155 Medium High Density Residential or High Density Residential building permits have been issued and 1,512 building permits for new dwelling units on Low Density Residential, Medium Low Density Residential, or Medium Density Residential in the PDA have been issued. As of December 31, 2023, 144 such permits have been issued in the PDA. A summary of permits issued is included in Table 1:

Residential Building Permit Summary.

The Housing Element of the Fowler General Plan was most recently adopted in April of 2016, as required by applicable law, and was prepared as part of a coordinated multi-jurisdictional effort with Fresno County and 12 of the 15 incorporated cities in Fresno County. The MultiJurisdictional Housing Element created a regional plan for addressing the housing needs of Fresno County. The General Plan incorporates the adopted Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element by reference. The Housing Element is currently in the process of being updated, as required by state law, to cover the next 8-year planning period from 2023 through 2031. This annual report covers progress towards the Housing Element for the year 2023.

Fowler's Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for the eight-year planning period covering December 2015 through December 2023 was 524 housing units and is equivalent to an annual production rate of 66 units. A portion of Fowler's current RHNA goal (39%) is focused on the categories of Extremely-Low Income (ELI) households, Very-Low (VLI) Income households, and Low Income (LI) households, as defined by HCD and based on household size and income in comparison to the average median household income (according to household size) in Fresno County. Proper planning and land use decisions are required to ensure there is opportunity for all housing categories to develop. It is important to note that the City is not required to build any housing units.

The City satisfies the Housing Element and RHNA requirements by, among other things, planning, designating, and zoning enough land in the City limits at densities sufficient to accommodate the assigned RHNA unit count. While the assigned RHNA unit count assumes higher density housing projects may likely be affordable to lower income households, higher density does not always equate to lower income affordability. Other methods for ensuring housing units are available to lower income households includes recording deed restrictions limiting the sale/lease of units to households above certain income levels and limiting the sales price or monthly rental price that the developer, owner, or operator of the units can charge the occupants. As a result, deed restricted affordable housing projects have many challenges for development that often prompt a need for significant subsidies to attract developers willing to develop, own, and/or operate these price/rent restricted units. 24 Section 9, Item 9B.

In 2023, the City of Fowler processed 51 building permits for residential development. Single family dwelling units accounted for 48 of the building permits, while the remaining three were for accessory dwelling units. Of the 51 units permitted, 11 were in the Moderate category and 40 were in the Above Moderate category. Fowler has completed 484 units of its 524-housing-unit allocation. As outlined in Table B of the Housing Element Annual Progress Report Fowler met its housing unit production projections for both the Moderate Income and Above Moderate Income categories, but the development of housing units in the Very Low and Low categories fell short of projections despite the City’s compliance with all Housing Element requirements.

PUBLIC NOTICE
This item does not require a public hearing and was noticed as a part of the City Council Agenda.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action does not constitute a “project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act.

GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
Annual progress reports on General Plan implementation are required per state law (California Government Code Section 65400). The City of Fowler 2040 General Plan includes an Implementation Strategy chapter to help organize implementation activities identified in the Plan and monitor progress. This chapter was used to help draft the 2023 General Plan Annual Progress Report.

Additionally, the Annual Progress Report implements Action Item LU-9a: The City shall compile a report outlining the building permits issued for all residential units by growth tier and planned land use on an annual basis for reporting to the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact is anticipated from the acceptance of the 2023 General Plan and Housing Element Annual Progress Reports.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Staff is not aware of any conflicts of interest.

INTRODUCTION

PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT
California law requires each city and county to adopt a comprehensive, long-term General Plan to guide the physical development of the incorporated city and land outside city boundaries that bears a relationship to its planning activities (California Government Code Section 65300). The General Plan serves as a blueprint for future growth and development. As such, the plan contains policies and programs designed to provide decision makers with a solid foundation for land use and development decisions.

State law further requires each jurisdiction to complete an Annual Report on the General Plan that is submitted to the local planning agency (the City Council), to the State Office of Planning and Research, and to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD; California Government Code Section 65400). This report must:
• Identify compliance with the State General Plan law and State General Plan Guidelines; • Identify status of the General Plan and the progress towards its implementation; • Describe the City’s progress in meeting its Regional Housings Needs Allocation (RHNA); • Describe progress in addressing/removing governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing; and
• Identify any surplus lands within the jurisdiction.

State law requires that the General Plan Annual Report be submitted by April 1 of each year and cover progress made during the previous calendar year (January through December). This Annual Report looks at the City’s progress towards implementing its General Plan during the 2023 planning year and is completed for this April deadline.
2040 FOWLER GENERAL PLAN
The City of Fowler incorporated in 1908 and adopted its first comprehensive General Plan in 1976. On April 18th, 2023, the City adopted the 2040 Fowler General Plan, the first major update to the Plan since 2004.

The 2040 Fowler General Plan contains the following chapters, which address all the required elements of a general plan in accordance with the Government Code at the time of adoption:
• Land Use
• Community Design
• Housing (under separate cover)
• Community Health and Equity
• Open Space
• Mobility
• Economic Development
• Community Resiliency and Safety
• Public Facilities
28 Section 9, Item 9B.

City of Fowler Annual Progress Report (APR) 2023
2 of 11
The Housing Element of the Fowler General Plan was adopted in April of 2016, as required by the Government Code. The City is participating in a coordinated effort with Fresno County and other jurisdictions in the County to update the Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element which will serve as a regional plan for addressing the housing needs of Fresno County for the 2023-2031 planning period. This effort is expected to be completed in 2024.

AMENDMENTS
The City of Fowler adopted the 2040 Fowler General Plan on April 18th, 2023. No amendments were made to the 2040 Plan once adopted.

ANNEXATIONS
The City requests that Fresno County refer all proposals for industrial development located within the City’s Sphere of Influence (SOI) to the City for annexation. In cases where annexation is not feasible, the City may request that the County attach conditions of approval to such applications to ensure that the development will conform to City standards, will agree to annex when feasible, and will not be detrimental to future urban development. The City’s SOI and phasing of annexation is used to provide for logical and efficient growth and prevent the premature conversion of agricultural land. Extension of urban services without annexation is discouraged. Residential land is annexed to the City as determined by growth management policies. Proposals for pre-zoning and annexation are rejected if they do not satisfy General Plan requirements relating to orderly and contiguous development and public services and facilities. The City did not have any annexations in 2023.

GROWTH MANAGEMENT
The City of Fowler included policies related to growth management in the Land Use element to ensure the City expands and land develops in an orderly manner. Areas outside of the existing City Limits are included in various growth tiers and as development occurs in open tiers, additional tiers can be opened. When the General Plan was adopted in April 2023, only the Primary Development Area (PDA) was open. Annexation of Medium High Density Residential or High Density Residential may occur in Tier I when 112 building permits located on property designated either Medium High Density Residential or High Density Residential in the PDA have been issued. As of December 31, 2023, 1 such permit had been issued. Annexation of property designated Low Density Residential, Medium Low Density Residential, or Medium Density Residential may occur in Tier I once 155 Medium High Density Residential or High Density Residential building permits have been issued and 1,512 building permits for new dwelling units on Low Density Residential, Medium Low Density Residential, or Medium Density Residential in the PDA have been issued.

As of December 31, 2023, 144 such permits have been issued. A summary of permits issued is included in Table 1: Residential Building Permit Summary.

GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION

PROGRESS
The 2040 General Plan includes an Implementation Strategy chapter which outlines the action items identified in the Plan and organizes them according to the primary types of subsequent planning efforts, regulatory mechanisms, and administrative procedures required to implement the General Plan. These categories include:
• Plans and Studies
• Regulatory Documents
• Design Standards
• Resource Documents
• Public Works Improvement Standards
• Program Establishment
• Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
• Inventories and Evaluations
• Review Procedures
• Ongoing
The City implemented four action items related to regulatory documents, resource documents, and the CIP. They include:
• SAF-2a: Review and revise, as necessary, the Municipal Code to ensure effective organization, responsiveness, and continuity of government during declared emergencies. • CDES-1a: Develop a branding package for the City of Fowler, including the development of gateway signage standards and a series of print and web graphics that create a cohesive design for the City. • CH-32a: Consider City vehicles and equipment as part of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) process.
• LU-9a: The City shall compile a report outlining the building permits issued for all residential units by growth tier and planned land use on an annual basis for reporting to the City Council.

Additional information related to the implementation of action items, including more detail about how the action items are structured and organized, is available in the Implementation Strategy of the General Plan.

Beginning in 2024, the City intends to track the implementation of goals, policies, and action items as items are brought to Planning Commission and City Council.

In 2023, the City tracked General Plan goals and policies as they were implemented through items brought to Planning Commission and City Council. The implemented goals and policies are outlined in the following sections.

LAND USE ELEMENT
The land use element is what people typically think of when they think of the “plan” for the City and is often considered the heart of a General Plan. This land use element establishes 12 land use designations for residential, commercial, industrial, and open space and public facility uses that will guide development not only within the City’s limit, but throughout its planning area as the City grows. The land use goals and 30 Section 9, Item 9B.

City of Fowler Annual Progress Report (APR) 2023
4 of 11
policies in this element provide direction on how each of these land use designations should develop, including the density (dwelling units per acre) and intensity (floor area ratio) of development allowed within each designation.

A more detailed description of development that occurred is provided above in the Growth Management section. The following land use goals were implemented in 2023:
• LU-1: Growth occurs logically and efficiently.
• LU-2: A wide range of housing types are available to accommodate all housing needs in the community.

The following land use policies were also implemented:
• LU-1: Development shall occur in accordance with the planned land uses as shown on Figure 4-1:

Land Use Diagram.
• LU-16: Maintain the downtown area as the governmental and cultural center of the City. Encourage community services, specialty shops, and office space on the ground floor with housing on the second floor.
• LU-23: Ensure that the location and design of all parks, recreation, and community centers are compatible with existing adjacent uses.

COMMUNITY DESIGN ELEMENT
The community design element guides the design and aesthetic of the City of Fowler’s built environment.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: March 19, 2024
FROM: THOMAS W. GAFFERY IV, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: APPROVE Position Authorization Resolution No. 2713 converting one Planning & Code Enforcement Technician I to a Projects and Compliance Administrator.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The above action converts one full-time Planning & Code Enforcement Technician I to a Projects and Compliance Administrator. The position will be charged with providing high-level support in the oversight of the numerous capital projects underway, as presented in the Update on Capital Projects staff report during the March 5, 2024 City Council meeting. The position will also provide oversight of high-level code enforcement priorities.

BACKGROUND
The Code Enforcement Officer I has been vacant since June 2022. After an unsuccessful search in summer 2022, the position was reclassified to Planning and Code Enforcement Technician in January 2023. Staff extended a job offer to one finalist who ultimately took a position elsewhere. In September 2023, the salary range for the classification was again updated in an attempt to be more competitive. Staff continue to evaluate the code enforcement workload as it relates to planning entitlement applications, building division inspections, and the success of the Police Department’s CSO program.

Based on the City’s continued growth in workload volume, capital project grant awards, and the current and future expected capital projects workload, staff recommend converting the position to a Projects and Compliance Administrator. This classification is placed on the same salary range as the Building Official, and Public Works Supervisor classifications. If approved, a classification standard will be developed, and a recruitment posted. The incumbent’s key responsibilities will be supporting department heads, the City Engineer, and others in the delivery of capital projects, as well as the expanded delivery of priority code enforcement activities.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: March 19, 2024
FROM: SOO HO PARK, City Engineer
SUBJECT: APPROVE Resolution No. 2714, approving updated fee schedules for Grading and Site Improvement Permit Fees and Encroachment Permit Fees.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Approving updated fee schedules for the City’s grading permit fees and encroachment permit fees will allow the City to recover the estimated costs incurred to process these permits at cost of the applicant and not negatively impact the City’s general fund.

BACKGROUND
Grading Permit Fees
The City of Fowler collects Grading Permit fees to offset the cost incurred by the City in processing, reviewing, and approving the grading and site improvement plans. The Fowler Municipal Code Section 8-14.06 authorizes the City to adopt fees for the grading and site improvement permit fees by resolution.

Government Code Section 66000 et seq., (specifically section 66014) authorizes the City to charge fees to applicants for development entitlements to process applications provided the amount of the fee charged does not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is charged. Fees should be set at amounts so the applicant is covering the cost to the City of processing the application.

The current Grading Permit Fees do not adequately allow the City to recover the costs incurred by the City and Staff has performed a cost analysis on various industrial, commercial, and residential grading and improvement plan checks performed in the past calendar year. The proposed increase in fees, in the attached updated Grading Permit Fee Schedule (Exhibit A), does not exceed the estimated reasonable cost to the City of providing such services by City staff and consultants.
56 Section 9, Item 9D.

Encroachment Permit Fees
The City of Fowler collects encroachment permit fees to process, review, and approve construction, installation, or restoration of public right-of-way improvements. These typically consist of curbs, gutters, drive approaches, sidewalks asphalt paving, within the existing right-ofway. Additionally, the encroachment permit applications are required to include plans for adequate temporary traffic control to mitigate any street or sidewalk closures resulting from the construction of improvements. This provides the Staff an opportunity to check for appropriate traffic control measures and detours are proposed for the safety of pedestrians and roadway users. Therefore, to appropriately process and review the permits for the applicants, the Fowler Municipal Code Section 7-3.04 authorizes the City Council to Establish encroachment permit fees by resolution.

The current Encroachment Permit Fees do not adequately allow the City to recover the costs incurred by the City and Staff has performed a cost analysis on various encroachment checks performed in the past calendar year. The proposed increase in fees, in the attached updated Encroachment Permit Fee Schedule (Exhibit B), does not exceed the estimated reasonable cost to the City of providing such services by City staff and consultants.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: March 19, 2024
FROM: SCOTT CROSS, City Attorney
SUBJECT: APPROVE Third Amendment to City Manager Employment Agreement with Wilma Tucker.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
For the City Council to approve the requested action. An annual performance evaluation of the City Manager has been completed. She is eligible to receive a change in compensation and/or benefits as approved by the City Council and agreed upon in an amendment to her employment agreement.

BACKGROUND
Wilma Tucker has served as City Manager since her appointment in March 2021. The terms of her current employment agreement provide that she is eligible to receive an increase in compensation and/or change in benefits following an annual performance evaluation. An annual performance evaluation has been completed, and the City Council is authorized to approve the attached Third Amendment to City Manager Employment Agreement.

The Third Amendment to City Manager Employment Agreement includes the following changes in compensation and benefits to be paid by the City:

1. Authorizes any unused Administrative Leave (96 hours of Administrative Leave is allocated each Fiscal Year on July 1) to be cashed out once each fiscal year during Tucker’s employment with the City. When Administrative Leave is used during the fiscal year it is paid in the regular payroll at the employee’s current rate of pay, and thus has no additional fiscal impact to the City. Currently, unused Administrative Leave expires at the end of each fiscal year (June 30) and an employee’s balance is zeroed out on June 30 and a new allocation of Administrative Leave is made on July 1 - the first day of each fiscal year. This change will authorize Tucker to cash out unused Administrative Leave, up to 96 hours. Administrative Leave must be used or cashed out prior to separation from City employment. Based on her current salary, the potential maximum fiscal impact is approximately $9,154 annually to the City if all 96 hours are cashed out each year.
64 Section 9, Item 9E.

2. In 2022, as reflected in the First Amendment to City Manager Employment Agreement, Tucker began opting out of City paid employee and dependent health benefits, and the City Council agreed to make a monthly contribution to a qualified Internal Revenue Code Section 457 eligible deferred compensation plan of Tucker’s selection in the amount the City was saving by Tucker opting out of City paid health benefits ($20,500 annually). The monthly 457 Plan contributions paid by the City will cease if Tucker selects City paid employee or dependent health coverage in the future. In this Third Amendment, the City Council agrees to match employee contributions made by Tucker into her 457 Plan, up to $5,000 each fiscal year. The City’s matching contribution (up to $5,000) can be made at multiple times during the fiscal year according to when/if Tucker makes any eligible contributions into the Plan. The City’s matching contribution requirement will end upon the earlier of the date Tucker gives notice of resignation from City employment or her last day of employment with the City.

The City Manager’s salary and benefits are set by the terms of her employment agreement.

Although there will be no change in salary, the change in compensation and benefits requires an amendment to the employment agreement. If approved, the changes will be effective upon approval and available this fiscal year as provided in the Third Amendment.

PUBLIC NOTICE
This item does not require a public hearing and was noticed as a part of the City Council Agenda.

Government Code section 54953(c)(3) requires City Council approval of this action be in open session at a regular City Council meeting, and that a summary of the recommendation be orally reported before the City Council takes final action on this item.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action does not constitute a “project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act.

FISCAL IMPACT AND PROCUREMENT PROCESS
Approval of this Third Amendment will result in a potential for Tucker to cash out up to 96 hours of administrative leave each fiscal year during her employment. Based on her current salary, the potential annual cost to the City of cashing out up to 96 hours of administrative leave will be approximately $9,154. That potential cost is decreased if less hours are cashed out. Additionally, if Tucker makes any eligible employee contribution(s) into her 457 deferred compensation plan the City will match such eligible contribution(s), not exceeding a total of $5,000 in matching contributions, during any fiscal year. The City’s matching contribution(s) will not exceed $5,000 in any fiscal year and could be less if Tucker’s eligible contributions total less than $5,000 in a fiscal year.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Staff is not aware of any conflicts of interest.

Attachment
- Third Amendment to City Manager Employment Agreement. 65 Section 9, Item 9E.

THIRD AMENDMENT TO CITY MANAGER EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This Third Amendment to City Manager Employment Agreement (“Third Amendment”) is entered into effective March 19, 2024, by and between the City of Fowler, a municipal corporation (“City”) and Wilma Tucker (“Tucker”), with respect to the following Recitals, which are a substantive part of this Third Amendment:

B. City and Tucker (formerly Wilma Quan) entered into a First Amendment to the Agreement effective on March 15, 2022 (“First Amendment”).

C. City and Tucker entered into a Second Amendment to the Agreement effective on March 21, 2023 (“Second Amendment”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in view of the above recitals and in consideration for the mutual promises set forth in the Agreement, City and Tucker agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1. Administrative Leave Cash Out. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, any City ordinance, resolution, policy, or the City’s Employee Benefits Handbook, Tucker may cash out any unused Administrative Leave during the same fiscal year the Administrative Leave time is allocated to her, up to the full ninety-six (96) hours, one time during the fiscal year. Any Administrative Leave not used or cashed out prior to Tucker’s last day of employment with the City or by June 30 each fiscal year shall expire. Except as otherwise provided herein, the allocation and use of Administrative Leave shall be subject to applicable City ordinances, resolutions, policies, and requirements in the City’s Employee Benefits Handbook as any may be modified.

2. Section 8 of the Agreement is amended to read as follows:

8. Health, Retirement, and Other Benefits. City shall provide Tucker and her eligible dependents with the same health, dental, life, and vision insurance coverage and benefits as are provided other executive management employees of the City, including the City paying the annual premium for a $50,000.00 term life insurance policy covering Tucker during her period of employment with the City as City Manager. Tucker shall have the sole discretion in designating any beneficiary(ies) under such life insurance policy. Tucker is entitled to receive any monthly opt-out compensation paid to employees who opt-out of City paid health, dental, and vision insurance coverage. Tucker understands and acknowledges that all such health, dental, life, and vision insurance coverages and opt-out compensation are subject to change in the future and may be modified from time to time.
66 Section 9, Item 9E.

(a) If Tucker opts-out of City paid employee and dependent health benefits City will begin making a monthly contribution of $1,708.33 ($20,500.00 annualized) to a qualified Internal Revenue Code Section 457 eligible deferred compensation plan of Tucker’s selection. Such monthly contribution shall be made on the first of each month beginning the first month after Tucker opts-out of City paid employee and dependent health benefits.

City’s monthly contribution to the 457 eligible deferred compensation plan shall immediately cease upon Tucker no longer being a City employee or upon Tucker and/or any of her eligible dependents choosing to become covered or otherwise being reinstated to any City paid health insurance coverage.
(b) City will match any eligible employee contributions Tucker makes to her qualified Internal Revenue Code Section 457 Plan, up to a maximum match of $5,000.00 in any fiscal year, to be contributed by the City during the fiscal year according to when/if Tucker makes any eligible contributions into the Plan. The City’s matching contribution requirement will end upon the earlier of the date Tucker gives notice of resignation from City employment or her last day of employment with the City.

3. Except as amended in this Third Amendment all other provisions of the Agreement, as previously amended and not inconsistent with this Third Amendment, shall continue in full force and effect.
