Proposal – Limited Phase II Environmental Site Assessment BSK Proposal P26000605 Proposed Public Safety Facility June 8, 2026 (REVISED June 18, 2026) Hanford, California Page 2

Please note, due to the location of the following RECs identified in the Phase I ESA, BSK does not propose investigation activities at this time. However, during site development activities, BSK recommends additional investigation once these areas are accessible. If this approach is not acceptable, please notify us immediately.

A. the former blacksmith shop depicted in the 1905 Sanborn map, B. the battery service operation depicted in the 1925 Sanborn map, C. the waste paint solvent storage area on APN 012-045-007, D. the floor drain on APN 012-045-007, and
E. the storm drain on 012-045-006 that are noted in the Phase I ESA.

Additionally, BSK has included sampling of the wash rack area that was noted in the questionnaire dated March 17, 2026, however, BSK will need to be provided the location of this area to ascertain the possibility of investigation at this time.

If during future site development activities evidence of contamination is found, please contact BSK immediately for additional consultation.

BSK will perform the following tasks to evaluate the RECs and concerns on the Subject Property that are identified above. Please note that the intent of a Limited Phase II ESA is to follow up on concerns identified in a Phase I ESA. It is not the intent of a Limited Phase II ESA to identify the extent of contamination or ascertain cleanup costs for the contaminants (if prese nt). Said services may be provided following the proposed services (if contamination exists), following subsequent investigations and at an additional cost. Also, please note that the recommendations not part of the scope of this proposal are either general recommendations or statements for the Subject Propert y, related to offsite properties, or were not requested to be addressed by the client in this proposal. Please inform the signatories of this proposal if you want other RECs or potential environmental concerns addressed.

Proposal – Limited Phase II Environmental Site Assessment BSK Proposal P26000605 Proposed Public Safety Facility June 8, 2026 (REVISED June 18, 2026) Hanford, California Page 3

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task 1 – Pre-Field Activities
Prior to any subsurface exploration or sampling on site, BSK will mark the site and contact Underground Services Alert North (USAN) who provides a partial location service free of charge for major utility lines.

It is important that the City understand that su bsurface structures (such as septic systems , private irrigation/telecommunication/utility lines, service laterals and leach fields) buried under private property will not be marked by the public utility companies contacted by USA N. Those utilities should be marked by the City prior to our field work. BSK cannot be responsible for damage to said unmarked utilities.

It is BSK’s understanding that Kings County will not require permitting for the proposed scope of services.

If permitting is required, additional time and materials will be required.

Prior to field activities, BSK will coordinate with the City of Hanford (City) for Site access and with BSK Analytical Laboratories to acquire the proper sampling containers for the required water /soil analyses, gather the appropriate field forms and equipment, and calibrate field meters.

Task 2 – Soil Sampling
BSK proposes the following soil sampling on the Site to evaluate the RECs on the S ubject Property that you desire to be evaluated and to the extent of accessible area. BSK’s proposed scope of services does not include coring and sampling through the floors of the existing structures on the Subject Property.

BSK assumes all sampling locations will be readily accessible and will not be covered by vehicles, equipment or debris. Soil samples will be collected using a drill rig, hand auger, shovel, or pre -cleaned plastic or stainless-steel scoop, or a combination therefrom. The selection of sampling device is dependent on-site conditions and will be documented in the field.

The soil samples would be collected and placed in laboratory prepared containers, labeled, and placed on ice in a cooler which will be secured. The samples and completed chain -of-custody forms would be transported to the selected analytical laboratory.

All hand auguring and sampling equipment w ould be cleaned using a high -pressure washer or a laboratory-grade (Alconox®, Liquinox® or equivalent) detergent wash and potable water rinse prior to, and between collection of each sample. Rinseate will be contained in 55 -gallon drums and analyzed for disposal purposes. D
During the excavations, soil will be field screened using a Photo Ionization Detector (PID) which measures ionizable compounds in air in parts per million by volume (ppmv).

Proposal – Limited Phase II Environmental Site Assessment BSK Proposal P26000605 Proposed Public Safety Facility June 8, 2026 (REVISED June 18, 2026) Hanford, California Page 4

Following completion of sampling activities, all borings w ould be closed in place using the auger returns supplemented with native soil and/or bentonite. Excess hand auger returns would contained in 55-gallon drums and analyzed for disposal purposes. Asphalt will be replaced with concrete with lamp black added at the surface.

All analyses would be conducted on a standard analytical turnaround time (TAT) requiring approximately 10-15 working days for laboratory services unless a special rush turnaround is requested at an additional charge.

TASK 2A – LIMITED SOIL SAMPLING – AUTO WRECKING YARD / AUTO TRUCK SERVICE & WELDING OPERATION / FORMER AUTO REPAIR FACILITY ON APN 012-045-006 AND 012-045-007 BSK proposes up to eleven (11) boring locations in the area of the former Auto Wrecking Yard / Auto Truck Service & Welding Operation / Former Auto Repair Facility that are outside of the existing buildings on APN 012-045-006 and 012-045-007. Borings will be advanced using a direct-push drill rig, hand auger, or equivalent. All soil samples would be obtained from a depth of 0-6” bgs or immediately below any baserock layer and 2-3’ bgs. Up to twenty-two (22) discrete soil samples will be collected from the eleven (11) boring locations.

Each soil sample collected would be chemically analyzed for the following:
• Volatile Organic Compounds by EPA Method 8260
• TPH-Gasoline by EPA Method 8260;
• TPH-Diesel/Motor Oil with Silica Gel Treatment (SGT) by EPA Method 8015; • CAM-17 Metals with STLC/TCLP Decision by EPA Methods; If analytes subject to the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) per 40CFR§261.24, exceed 20- times the Maximum Concentration of Contaminants for the Toxicity Characteristic, those analytes will be subject to additional TCLP testing. Additionall y, if analytes subject to Soluble Threshold Limit Concentration (STLC) per 22CCR§66261.24 (Characteristic of Toxicity) exceed 10-times the STLC regulatory level then those analytes will be tested using a California Waste Extraction Test (WET) . If Concentrations of applicable analytes exceed the TTLC concentration presented in 22CCR§66261.24 (Table II; List of Inorganic Persistent and Bioaccumulative Toxic Substances or their Soluble Threshold Limit Concentration), then that soil would be considered a non-Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (non- RCRA) California hazardous waste, and if removed would need to be disposed of in a Class I Landfill. The fee for TCLP/STLC testing is included in this proposal for budgeting purposes but may not be required pending results of the chemical analysis. If TCLP/STLC testing is required, additional time and materials charges will be required.

Proposal – Limited Phase II Environmental Site Assessment BSK Proposal P26000605 Proposed Public Safety Facility June 8, 2026 (REVISED June 18, 2026) Hanford, California Page 6

Each soil sample collected would be chemically analyzed for the following:
• Volatile Organic Compounds by EPA Method 8260
• TPH-Gasoline by EPA Method 8260;
• TPH-Diesel/Motor Oil with Silica Gel Treatment (SGT) by EPA Method 8015; • CAM-17 Metals with STLC/TCLP Decision by EPA Methods; • Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds by EPA Method 8270
Additional TCLP and STLC testing may be required as described under Task 2A above.

Task 2E – Investigation Derived Waste Sampling and Analysis Soil generated during drilling activities will be placed in labeled 55 -gallon drums, sealed, and stored on the project site. Drilling equipment will be decontaminated between borings; decontamination rinseate will be contained and transferred to sealed 55 -gallon drums and also stored on site. All drums will be labeled with the date, boring number, type of waste (e.g., soil, water, etc.) and a contact person and phone number.

BSK will collect one (1) sample from each drum (soil or rinseate) and analyze for the following:
• Volatile Organic Compounds by EPA Method 8260
• TPH-Gasoline by EPA Method 8260;
• TPH-Diesel/Motor Oil with Silica Gel Treatment (SGT) by EPA Method 8015; • CAM-17 Metals with STLC/TCLP Decision by EPA Methods; • Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds by EPA Method 8270
BSK assumes a total of three (3) drums of soil and three (3) drums of rinseate will be generated. If additional drums are required, additional time and materials will be required.

Additional testing of drummed soil and groundwater may be necessary for disposal profiling and acceptance, depending upon specific acceptance criteria of the selected disposal facility. BSK can provide a separate proposal for additional profiling and disposal of soil and decontamination rinseate generated during drilling at a later date. The Client will need to provide a secure location for storage until the IDW drums are disposed.

Task 3 – Reporting
Upon completion of Subject Property activities, a report will be prepared that will include the following:
1) Documentation of field activities
2) The results of chemical analysis
3) Site plan showing pertinent Site features

Page 103 of 193 ends

Proposal – Limited Phase II Environmental Site Assessment BSK Proposal P26000605 Proposed Public Safety Facility June 8, 2026 (REVISED June 18, 2026) Hanford, California Page 7

4) Data evaluation and presentation of findings
5) Recommendations concerning further action, if necessary.

All soil sampling results will be compared to the following:
• The State of California San Francisco Bay Area Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) , Commercial/Industrial Environmental Screening Levels ( ESLs) (2026, Rev. 4), and Construction Worker ESLs (2026, Rev. 4). These ESLs are risk -based guidelines for evaluating contaminants in soils for the different property uses.
• The Total Threshold Limit Concentration (TTLC) values, and the Soluble Threshold Limit Concentration (STLC) values in California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 22, §66261.24 “Characteristic of Toxicity” for classification of a California Hazardous Waste. The TTLC values are used to compare to the total concentrations of analytes to evaluate whether or not a waste is a California Hazardous Waste. If the total concentration of an analyte exceeds 10 -times the STLC regulated value, then analyses using the California Waste Extraction Test (WET) can be conducted to compare with the STLC regulated value to evaluate if the leachable concentration of the analyte would classify the waste as a California Hazardous Waste. • The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Potential (TCLP) values in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 40CFR§ 261.24 for classification of a RCRA Hazardous Waste. If the total concentration of an an alyte exceeds 20-times the TCLP regulated value, then analyses using a TCLP test can be conducted to compare with the TCLP regulated value to evaluate if the leachable concentration of the analyte would classify the waste as a RCRA Hazardous Waste.

SCHEDULE
BSK will complete the above scope of services within approximately 18 weeks following authorization and no delays with accessing the Subject Property, USA N notification, and receiving analytical results. In the event of significant variation from this schedule, the City will be advised of said variation as soon as it becomes obvious to BSK.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Prior to any subsurface exploration or sampling on the Subject Property, BSK will mark the Subject Property and contact Underground Services Alert North (USAN), who provides a partial location service free of charge for major utility lines. It is important that the City (Client) understand that subsurface structures (such as septic systems, private irrigation/telecommunication/utility lines, service laterals and leach fields) buried under private property will not be marked by the public utility companies contacted by USAN. Those utilities should be marked by the Client or property owner prior to our field work. BSK cannot be responsible for damage to said unmarked utilities. BSK’s fee is not adequate to compensate for both the performance of the services described herein and the assumption of risk of damage to utilities, structures, landscaping, and paving. Depending on weather and surface conditions, some damage to surface improvements may occur during our investigation. Heavy rutting could occur durin g wet conditions. We will exercise care to reduce this damage, but some is likely to occur. We have not included time or fees to repair this possible damage except for backfilling the bore holes with soil cuttings.

Our scope and fee assume that access to the Subject Property will be available at no cost or delay to us.

In addition, any known information regarding the presence of hazardous materials at the Subject Property should be made available to our office prior to the start of our field investigations.

WORK SAFETY
The safety of our employees and the District’s staff is of paramount concern to BSK. You will be notified if the location of our field work on your project represents a potential safety concern. Unsafe conditions for fieldwork will require a modification of our estimated scope of services and associated f ees. We will advise you of the additional costs necessary to mitigate these unanticipated conditions, if applicable.

GENERAL CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS
BSK’s services will be performed in a manner consistent with the level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by other professionals practicing in the same locale and under similar circumstances at the time the work is performed. No warranty, either express or implied, is included.

Seventh Street, including the removal of existing wrought iron gates and fencing at both entries, the installation of a new door with sidelite, transom, and diamond mesh at the front entry, construction of a new 7-foot- high stucco wall and new roof to connect to existing brick wall in the rear, and the installation of one new 4-foot-wide steel door with a vision window at the rear exit. The property is designated as a noncontributing building within the Historic Overlay Zone.

LOCATION: The project is located at 213 W. Seventh St. (APN 012-055-006).

STAFF RECOMMENDATION

1. Staff recommends that the City Council, by motion, adopt Resolution 26-56-R conditionally approving Historic Resources Permit 0025-26.

RECOMMENDED MOTION

1. I move to adopt Resolution 26-56-R conditionally approving Historic Resources Permit 0025-26.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The property is a noncontributing building located in the Historic District, shown in Figure 1 below – outlined in black.

Page 111 of 193 ends

Figure 1: Historic Overlay Zone

“Noncontributing building” means a structure within a historic district which, in its present condition, does not contribute to the sense of time and place of the immediate area and the district. "Noncontributing building" may include those buildings constructed after the time period featured in a historic district or buildings in which the historical characteristics have been irreparably modified. "Noncontributing building" may also include buildings which, while noncontributing at present, may become contributing through the application of appropriate design criteria.

In accordance with the Municipal Code Section 17.48, alterations to the exterior of a building located within the Historic Overlay Zone are required to be approved through a Historic Resources Permit, which must be approved by the City Council.

Section 17.48.040

No improvement or exterior architectural feature of any improvement shall be constructed or altered or enlarged which is located in the Historic Overlay District or identified as a historic site outside the District, unless a permit is issued pursuant to the terms of this chapter. The section shall not apply to any interior alteration which has no effect on the condition or appearance of any exterior architectural feature of an improvement. No structure listed on a State or National Register shall be moved or demolished, unless a permit is issued pursuant to the terms of this chapter.

Section 17.48.070

A. A historic resource permit shall be required for any alteration of the exterior features of a building within a designated historic district, or a designated historic building or site, or to

Page 112 of 193 ends

construct a new building or improvements upon property within a designated historic district except as otherwise provided in this Chapter 17.48, the City Council shall determine whether a historic resources permit shall be issued. A permit shall not be required for ordinary maintenance and repairs as defined in this section.

B. Permit Procedures. An application for a historic resource permit shall be made on a form prescribed by the Community Development Department and shall be accompanied by the fees established by resolution of the City Council. The application shall include the information required by Section 17.60.020 for site plan review, complete elevation drawings of the proposed alterations, samples of proposed colors and materials, color photographs of all sides of any existing improvement, building or structure on the site, and such other information as may be required by the Community Development Department.

If applicable, the application shall include the information required by Chapter 17.58 (permit for conditional uses) and Chapter 17.62 (planned unit development).

Applications for permits requiring City Council approval shall be placed on the next regular meeting of the City Council. The City Council may approve, approve with conditions, or deny the permit.

Building Description

According to historic records maintained by the Community Development Department, it is estimated the building was constructed after 1913, with an approximate construction year of 1930.

As shown in Figure 2, modifications to the exterior of the building have been minimal. In 1987 and 1988, three Historic Resource Permits were approved, 87-21, 88-12, and 88-18, all pertaining to new signage for the Chamber of Commerce and the Visitor Agency, respectively. There have been no Historic Resource Permits since then for any façade modifications at this location, common name “The Mall”.

Presently, the exterior of the building is painted an off-white with black wrought iron gates and fencing at both front and rear entrances. See Figures 3, 4, & 5.

Proposal

The applicant of 213 W. Seventh Street proposes modifications at the front and rear entrances, which include the removal of existing wrought iron gates and fencing at both entries, the installation of a new door with sidelite, transom, and diamond mesh at the front entry, and at the rear entry, the construction of a new 7-foot-high white stucco wall and new chocolate brown hi-rib metal roof to connect to existing brick, and the installation of one new chocolate brown, 4-foot- wide steel door with a vision window. The existing storefront windows are to remain unchanged.

The front door and sitelite are proposed to be glass, with brown or aluminum metal framing. The new rear wall is proposed to be flush with the existing brick walls. Interior modifications to include the construction of one new ADA-compliant restroom within the existing building. For proposed modifications, see Attachment 1.

Evaluation

17.48.150 Design criteria
B. Design Guidelines. The following design guidelines are to be used to formulate plans for the rehabilitation, preservation, and continued use of old buildings consistent with the intent of this chapter. The guidelines apply to buildings of all occupancy and construction types, sizes and materials and to all permanent and temporary construction on the exterior of historic buildings as well as new attached or adjacent construction.

9. Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing buildings, structures or sites shall not be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant historical, architectural or cultural material and such design is compatible with the size, scale, color, materials and character of the property, neighborhood or environment.

Analysis: The proposed alterations to the building do not destroy significant historical, architectural or cultural material, and the design of the replacement doors are compatible with the existing doors in size and scale. In Figure 4, the rear door frame of 215 W. Seventh St., just west of the rear entrance of 213 W. Seventh St., is shown to be a chocolate brown-colored metal. The proposed brown metal framing, chocolate brown steel door, and chocolate brown hi-rib metal roofing would therefore be compatible with the color and materials found within the neighborhood.

The replacement of the front and rear doors, and the use of chocolate brown hi-rib metal roofing can be supported by staff.

C. Rehabilitation Standards. The provisions of this subsection are intended to provide reasonable design for the rehabilitation of historic buildings so that the basic historic and architectural presentation of the buildings is retained and enhanced.

1. Storefronts.
c. Where the original design cannot be determined or where financial considerations preclude full-scale rehabilitation of a store front which has already been altered, a design which is not a pure rehabilitation but which is in keeping

Page 116 of 193 ends

with the design of the rest of the building may be appropriate. The general proportions, materials, colors, rhythm of solids to voids, repetition of design elements, and directional expression (the effect of verticality or horizontality common to the street) should be followed in designing new store fronts. The use of materials not in existence when a store front was built should be discouraged in its rehabilitation.

Analysis: This proposal is in keeping with the design of the rest of the building. The general proportions, materials, colors, rhythm of solids to voids, repetition of design elements, and directional expression are preserved as a part of this proposal.

C. Rehabilitation Standards. The provisions of this subsection are intended to provide reasonable design for the rehabilitation of historic buildings so that the basic historic and architectural presentation of the buildings is retained and enhanced.

2. Windows and Doors.

c. The original proportions of wall openings should be retained. The blocking of any existing opening to accommodate standard sash and glass sizes, to hide ceilings lowered beneath the tops of existing windows, or for any other reason should not be allowed.

Analysis: This project proposes to retain the original proportions of wall openings at both front and rear entries with the proposed new front door with sidelite, transom, and diamond mesh at the front entry and the new 4-foot-wide steel door with a vision window at the rear exit to replace existing gated entry.

C. Rehabilitation Standards. The provisions of this subsection are intended to provide reasonable design for the rehabilitation of historic buildings so that the basic historic and architectural presentation of the buildings is retained and enhanced.

4. Roofs

a. Contemporary roofing materials shall be acceptable. Where roofs are visible, roofing materials should be dark. Flashings should be unobtrusive.

Analysis: The use of hi-rib metal roofing material shall be acceptable. The proposed color of the roofing material is chocolate brown, which is a dark color. The flashings proposed are flush with the existing brick wall, and are therefore unobtrusive.

E. General Building Standards. The standards set forth in this subsection should be applied to all alterations or new construction in the historic district.

1. Color.

a. Exterior colors should harmonize with other colors on the same building and on the streetscape. Exterior colors should complement the colors of neighboring buildings and should be selected to be mutually supportive and beneficial to the overall historic character of the streetscape.

Page 117 of 193 ends

b. Where wood or metal surfaces of windows, doors, porches and details, other than cornices, are to be painted, the following colors shall be used: During the early twentieth century, muted colors and earth colors were favored. They included gray, dark brown, dark green, blue gray, beige, brick red, and terra cotta. A slightly grayish-white paint, was frequently used for major surface areas and for details.

This grayish-white is an appropriate choice for window sash and frames and for other details. In some instances, black or dark gray may be appropriate for the fixed window or door frame. If the original color of a cornice cannot be determined, grayish-white, buff or sandstone color are preferred choices.

Analysis: The proposed exterior colors for frontage modifications include either brown or aluminum for the metal framing around the glass door, sidelite, and transom. Staff recommends the use of dark brown metal framing, as dark brown is a muted color favored in early twentieth century. A chocolate brown color is proposed for the new metal roof and new steel door with a vision window at the rear entrance. This color would harmonize with the color of the chocolate brown metal frame of the rear door to 215 W. Seventh St., which is within the same block as 213 W. Seventh St. The new 7-foot-high stucco wall is proposed to be painted white. Staff recommends the use of an off-white paint color for this wall, to closely match the existing surrounding brick walls. The existing brick walls are not proposed to be repainted as a part of this application.

Conclusion:

Since the proposal complies with the requirements of the Historic Resource Overlay District standard, as described above, staff recommends approval of the Historic Resource Permit as proposed.

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL

In accordance with Section 17.48 of the Hanford Municipal Code, staff recommends conditional approval of Historic Resources Permit HRA0025-26, and that the conditional approval of the historic resources permit will allow private investment in the Downtown area, allow the increase of economic and financial benefits to the City and its property owners and inhabitants, and make the following findings:

1. That the proposed modifications to the façade will not impact the Historic Overlay Zone since the façade improvements will be consistent with the Historic Overlay Zone Design Guidelines for a noncontributing building built prior to 1935 in the Historic Overlay Zone District.

2. That the proposed project will provide a complementary setting and environment in the Historic District.

3. That the proposed project will promote and encourage continued private ownership and utilization of structures so that the objectives set forth in this section can be attained under this policy.

4. That the request will not adversely affect the public health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of Hanford.

RECOMMENDATION – CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL

The City Council may approve, approve with conditions, or deny the permit.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution 26-56-R conditionally approving Historic Resources Permit No. 0025-26, with the following conditions:

1. That approval of this project does not exempt compliance with all applicable sections of the Zoning Ordinance, Public Works Improvement Standards, fees, or other City Ordinances.

2. That the alterations to the site be completed in accordance with the proposed changes. Future changes may be approved by the Community Development Director or forwarded to the City Council for review.

3. That brown metal framing shall be favored over aluminum around the glass door, sidelite, and transom at the W. Seventh Street frontage entrance.

4. That the new 7-foot-high stucco wall in the rear shall be painted an off-white color, to closely match the existing brick walls.

5. The relocated existing downspout shall be inconspicuous.

6. Signage will be reviewed at the time of sign permit submittal. Signage shall meet size requirements as stated in Sections 17.48 and 17.56 of the Municipal Code. If required standards are not met, proposed signage shall be reviewed by City Council through a new historic resources permit.

At a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Hanford duly called and held on August 18, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers of the Civic Auditorium, it was moved by Council Member ____________, and seconded by Council Member ____________, and duly carried, that the following resolution be adopted:

WHEREAS, an application, filed by Frank Rivera for Historic Resources Permit HRA0025-26, as shown in Exhibit A, was presented to the City Council; and

AGENDA

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 8/18/2026 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR

SUBJECT:

Waive the 2nd reading and adopt Ordinance 26-04, approving Amended Prezone 0013-24, a request to amend the previous prezoning scope, in order to coincide with the amended Annexation 165 boundary. The prezone will apply to the properties proposed to be annexed as R-M Medium-Density Residential (80.95 acres) and MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use (5.45 acres), consistent with previously approved General Plan Amendment No. 0009-24. The project is located north of Grangeville Boulevard, east of 9 1/4 Avenue (APN 014-143-069, 014-143-078, and 014-143-022).

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council waive the second reading and adopt Ordinance 26-04 approving Amended Prezone 0013-24.

Recommended Motion: I move to waive the second reading and adopt Ordinance 26-04, approving Amended Prezone 0013-24.

BACKGROUND:

On August 4, 2026, the City Council held a public hearing for Amended Annexation 165 and Amended Prezone No. 0013-24. During the meeting, the City Council introduced the ordinance and waived the first reading of Ordinance No. 26-04, associated with Amended Prezone No. 0013-24 by a 4,0 vote (1 absent).

Amended Prezone No. 0013-24 is a request to amend the previous prezoning scope, in order to coincide with the amended annexation boundary. The prezone will apply to the properties proposed to be annexed as a R-M Medium-Density Residential (80.95 acres) and MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use (5.45 acres), consistent with previously approved General Plan Amendment No. 0009-24.

(R-M Medium Density Residential and MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use)

Amended Prezone No. 0013-24
In accordance with HMC Section 17.86.030, before a zone change may be approved, all the following findings shall be made by the reviewing authority:

1. That the amendment is internally consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan and the Municipal Code.

Analysis: That Amended Prezone No. 0013-24 is internally consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan, including Medium-Density Residential Policies L34 – L37 and Neighborhood Mixed Use policies L60 – L64, and Annexation Policies L15 and L17. The development proposed in the annexation area, under Tentative Tract 945, conforms with the regulations pertaining to the R-M Medium-Density Residential zone district and MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use zone district, except where expressly modified under Planned Unit Development No. 0037-24.

2. That the amendment would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of the community.

Analysis: That this application has been reviewed by County departments, utility companies, City Fire Department, City Building Department, and other involved departments. Any mitigation required for public health and safety were applied to the proposal and required in the mitigation monitoring and

Page 127 of 193 ends

reporting program for Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2025-73, for which a Notice of Determination was filed.

3. That the amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the City.

Analysis: That job-housing balance is achieved by increasing opportunities for people to work and live in close proximity. The ratio is expressed as the number of jobs divided by the number of housing units. The jobs-housing balance is a general tool for analyzing where people work, where they live, and how effectively they can travel between the two. In the planning area, the existing jobs-housing balance ratio in 2013-2014 was 1.17. It is estimated that the implementation of the General Plan would increase the jobs-housing balance by 0.45 to 1.62, which would make the planning area a job- rich area.

The project conforms to the General Plan, as amended through General Plan Amendment No. 0009- 24, which proposed the up-zoning of approximately 72.92 acres of Low-Density Residential to Medium-Density Residential and the addition of a 5.45-acre Neighborhood Mixed Use site. The site will increase both housing opportunity and commercial activity, thus maintaining an appropriate balance of land uses within the City.

4. That the anticipated land uses on the subject site would be compatible with existing and future surrounding uses.

Analysis: That the anticipated land uses on the subject site include one large-lot single family residence, small lot single-family residences, duplexes, low-rise apartments, and neighborhood commercial uses, as proposed under Tentative Tract 945. The anticipated land uses for the annexation area include medium-density residential and mixed-use development. The anticipated land uses are compatible with the surrounding land uses and planned land uses in the area, which include agricultural land, a future regional park, single-family and multi-family residential.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The adoption of the ordinance will not have a fiscal impact.

AGENDA

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 8/18/2026 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR

SUBJECT:

Authorization for staff to record the final subdivision map for Tract No. 881-3 Live Oak East (Hidden Oaks Unit No. 3), a 128-lot subdivision located at the southeast corner of Hume Avenue and 12th Avenue.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends Council's authorization for the recording of the final subdivision map for Tract No. 881-3 Live Oak East (Hidden Oaks Unit No. 3), comprising 128 single-family residential lots, located at the southeast corner of Hume Avenue and 12th Avenue.

RECOMMENDED MOTION:

I move to authorize the recordation of Tract No. 881-3 Live Oak East (Hidden Oaks Unit No. 3), comprising 128 single-family residential lots, located at the southeast corner of Hume Avenue and 12th Avenue.

SUMMARY:

The final map for Tract No. 881-3 Live Oak East (Hidden Oaks Unit No. 3) represents the final phase of the Tract 881 development. Tract No. 881-3 Live Oak East (Hidden Oaks Unit No. 3) will subdivide a 27.23-acre parcel into 128 lots. The subdivision will be accessible from Hume Avenue and serviced by interior public streets equipped with full improvements, including curbs, gutters, parkway landscaping, sidewalks, streetlights, and public utilities (sewer, storm drainage, electricity, and water).

The applicants, SJV Horizontal, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, and Presidio JJR Hidden Oaks II 130, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, have submitted and received approval of the following required items:

1. The executed Subdivision Improvement Agreement is approved and on file with the Utilities and Engineering Department.

2. A Performance Bond in the amount of $9,063,363.99, covering 100% of the cost of public improvements as outlined in the Subdivision Agreement has been received.

3. A Labor and Materials Bond in the amount of $4,531,681.99, valued at 50% of the Performance Bond, covering laborer salaries and benefits, and materials for public improvements has been received.

Page 138 of 193 ends

4. The final subdivision map, reviewed and approved by city staff and the Acting City Surveyor and is ready for recordation.

Therefore, staff requests authorization to record the Final Map upon receipt of the applicant-executed mylars.

BACKGROUND:

The Tract No. 881-3 Live Oak East (Hidden Oaks Unit No. 3) subdivision is part of a larger planned development to provide residential housing and community amenities in the City. The final map has been thoroughly reviewed by City staff to ensure compliance with the Subdivision Ordinance and other applicable regulations. The Subdivision Improvement Agreement outlines the Developer’s obligations for constructing and maintaining public improvements. The Subdivision Improvement Agreement also stipulates that the Developer will enter into a separate Deferred Improvements Agreement (DIA), agreeable by both the Developer and the City, outlining the future improvements to 12th Avenue, including the underground piping the Peoples Ditch, associated with Tracts 881-3. The DIA, once completed, will come at a later date before City Council for approval. The DIA will provide additional details on the timing of the 12th Avenue Improvements, Peoples Ditch undergrounding and how these improvements will be correlated to future Live Oak East Development Phases. Final recordation of the map was dependent upon approval of a non-binding DIA memorandum, which has now been achieved. The City's Utilities and Engineering Department has verified that all required bonds and fees meet City standards, ensuring that the infrastructure will be built to specification and maintained appropriately.

On June 16, 2026, Council authorized the conditional approval for the recordation of the final map which was dependent upon final approval of the DIA memorandum. The DIA memorandum was not completed prior to the stipulated July 16, 2026 deadline therefore requiring a separate Council action to reauthorize recording of the map. The terms of the DIA memorandum have now been reached and accepted between the City and the Developer.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The project has undergone environmental review in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The proposed subdivision is consistent with the approved environmental documentation for the larger Live Oak development, and no additional environmental review is required for the recording of the final map.

PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION:

On June 16, 2026, Council conditionally approved Tract No. 881-3 Live Oak East Hidden Oaks Unit No. 3 for recordation.

On April 5, 2022, Council approved Tract No. 881-2 Live Oak East Sterling Oaks Unit No. 2 for recordation.

PRIOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:

On June 9, 2026, the tentative subdivision map revision for Tract No. 881 was approved.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Page 139 of 193 ends

The developer is responsible for all costs associated with constructing the subdivision’s public improvements, including park land and amenities. Right-of-way dedications and easements are provided at no cost to the City. All Development Impact Fees, will be assessed with each parcel’s building permit, along with outstanding plan check and inspection fees, ensuring no direct fiscal impact to the City’s budget.

Reimbursements for eligible items are governed by Hanford Municipal Code Title 13 and the City of Hanford’s 2019 Development Impact Fee Study. There are no reimbursable items for this phase of development.

This structure ensures fiscal neutrality for the City.

AGENDA

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 8/18/2026 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR

SUBJECT:

Acceptance and authorization for staff to File the City of Hanford's Quarterly Investment Portfolio and Transactions Reports as of 06/30/26.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council accept and authorize staff to file the City of Hanford's Quarterly Investment Portfolio and Transactions Report as of 06/30/26.

RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move that the City Council accept and authorize staff to file the City of Hanford's Quarterly Investment Portfolio and Transactions Report as of 06/30/26.

BACKGROUND:

Quarterly Investment Report
The City has approximately $156.7 million in investments and cash, across all funds, as of 06/30/26.

Recent Activity
The City actively maintains a minimum balance of $3.5 million in its Wells Fargo cash accounts.

Meeder, the City’s portfolio manager, continues to reinvest proceeds as securities mature. During this period, $6 million was transferred from the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) to the US Bank custody account to invest in securities, as currently there is a significant amount in overnight funds.

Longer-term securities were selected to lock in higher interest rates as the Federal Reserve reduced rates in 2025. However, it is likely that there will be no additional rate cuts in 2026 based on current predictions. The portfolio is well positioned to achieve competitive yields while maintaining a balanced maturity structure, with investments ranging from overnight to five-year terms.

Current Investment Environment

The Federal Reserve last lowered interest rates by 0.25 percentage points at its December 2025 meeting. Since then, it has maintained the federal funds rate at the same level through its June 2026 meeting. The rate cuts in 2025 were implemented in response to signs of a slowing labor market and increasing economic uncertainty.

As of July 2026, the Federal Reserve has maintained the federal funds rate between 3.50% and

3.75%, citing inflation that remains above its 2% target while noting that the labor market has remained stable. Following the Federal Reserve’s July meeting, some policymakers now anticipate a possible interest-rate increase before the end of 2026 if inflation remains persistently high. However, the majority voted to keep rates unchanged for now.

Page 180 of 193 ends

The 10-year Treasury note yield closed the second quarter of 2026 at approximately 4.44%, increasing from 4.30% at the end of the first quarter and 4.18% at the end of 2025.

Future Actions
The City's portfolio will be actively managed and re-invested as securities mature. As idle cash is available, the City will deposit to the US Bank custody account to be invested by Meeder. A review of the investment pool interest rates will occur as LAIF tends to achieve higher yields during rate-cutting environments due to their investments in longer average maturity securities. Meeder provides Staff with in depth quarterly reviews and timely economic updates as available.

Summary
The primary purpose of the City’s cash is to provide residents of Hanford with services. In order to maximize the earnings potential on the City’s idle cash, the City utilizes Meeder to actively monitor the portfolio and purchase low-risk investments which will provide a higher return versus allowing the cash to be held in savings accounts earning little to no interest. Additionally, idle cash is also held with government pools, including the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and CLASS. It is the policy of the City to invest public funds in a manner that will provide a high investment return with a high level of security (low risk) while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the entity and conforming to all state and local statutes governing the investment of public funds.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This item is informational. Investing the City's cash will generate continual interest earnings on the investment portfolio.

AGENDA

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 8/18/2026 AGENDA SECTION: GENERAL BUSINESS

SUBJECT:

Land Use Regulations and City Authority for Data Center Facilities

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: Receive a presentation regarding the Land Use Regulations and City Authority for Data Center Facilities
BACKGROUND:

Data centers are facilities that house computer systems and related equipment used for data storage, processing, communications, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and other digital services. These facilities can vary substantially in size and intensity, ranging from smaller edge computing facilities serving localized needs to large-scale data centers with significant energy, infrastructure, and operational demands.

The City’s General Plan and Zoning Ordinance do not currently contain a specific land-use classification for data centers or edge computing facilities. The Zoning Ordinance identifies the uses permitted or conditionally permitted within each zoning district. Because data centers are not presently identified as permitted or conditionally permitted uses, they are not currently allowed in any City zoning district.

Accordingly, a data center facility could not be approved under the City’s existing land-use regulations unless the City first amends its Zoning Ordinance to establish where the use may be located and the standards applicable to its development and operation. City staff has not received direction to prepare such an amendment and does not intend to initiate that process unless directed by the City Council.

City Authority and Land-Use Regulations

Subject to applicable state and federal law, the City Council has the authority to establish land-use policy through the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. This authority includes determining:
• Whether data centers should be allowed within the City; • The zoning districts in which data centers may be located; • Whether the use should be permitted by right or require discretionary approval; • The development and operational standards applicable to the use; and • The findings and approval criteria applicable to individual projects.

Page 187 of 193 ends

The City Council could choose to retain the existing regulations, under which data centers are not an allowed use, direct staff to add data centers as a land use category and definition and not permit in any zone district, or direct staff to evaluate potential amendments addressing these facilities.

Data Centers on State or Federal Property

Federal and state agencies are generally not subject to local zoning, land-use, and permitting requirements when using their property for governmental purposes, unless applicable law provides otherwise. Accordingly, a data center proposed on federal or state property may not require City zoning approval, Site Plan Review, or building permits, even if the same facility would require those approvals on private property.

In those circumstances, the City’s role would generally be advisory rather than regulatory. The City could participate in applicable environmental-review processes, including CEQA or the National Environmental Policy Act, submit comments regarding potential impacts, and request appropriate mitigation. The City could also identify potential effects on fire protection, emergency response, traffic, utilities, infrastructure, noise/vibration, biological resources and surrounding land uses; coordinate with the responsible state or federal agency; and negotiate any agreements necessary for the provision of City services or connection to City infrastructure.

These exemptions may not apply when a proposed data center does not serve a governmental purpose and instead constitutes a private, commercial, or proprietary activity. Under those circumstances, the City may have authority to review the facility, and the project could be subject to applicable City zoning, land-use, site-plan, building, fire, and environmental-review requirements.

Whether City review is required would depend on the specific facts of the proposal, including property ownership, the entity developing and operating the facility, the nature of the proposed activity, and its relationship to the governmental agency’s authorized functions.

Environmental Review

CEQA requires a lead public agency to identify and evaluate the potentially significant environmental effects of a proposed discretionary action, consider feasible mitigation measures, and evaluate alternatives when required. If a specific data center project requires discretionary City approval, additional project-level environmental review may be required. A project on State-owned property that is subject to discretionary approval by a State agency would undergo CEQA review. The City could review the environmental document and provide comments regarding the project’s potential environmental impacts.

Potential environmental topics associated with data center facilities may include:
• Energy consumption and electrical infrastructure;
• Water demand and cooling systems;
• Fire flow, fire protection, and emergency response;
• Backup generators, batteries, fuel storage, and hazardous materials; • Air quality and greenhouse gas emissions;
• Noise and vibration;
• Traffic, circulation, and construction activity;
• Aesthetics, lighting, and compatibility with surrounding uses;

Page 188 of 193 ends

• Utilities, drainage, and wastewater;
• Biological resources; and
• Environmental justice considerations.

Purpose of the Council Discussion

The purpose of this item is to provide the City Council and the public with an overview of data center facilities and explain the City’s existing land-use regulations and regulatory authority.

No data center project, land-use entitlement, General Plan amendment, or Zoning Ordinance amendment is before the City Council for approval as part of this item. To date, the City has not received a formal application for entitlement of a data center or edge computing facility.

The City Council may receive the presentation without providing additional policy direction. In that case, the City’s existing regulations would remain unchanged, and data centers would continue to be prohibited because they are not identified as permitted or conditionally permitted uses in any City zoning district.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct fiscal impact associated with receiving the presentation and providing direction to staff. If the City Council directs staff to prepare amendments or conduct additional analysis, the City may incur additional staff, consultant, environmental review, or legal costs.

Alternate Motion: I move to accept the report and direct staff to explore further the use of in-house employees for the Citywide landscape maintenance of all Landscape Assessment Districts and Community Facilities Districts, and, if reduced costs or cost offsets are identified, bring them back to City Council for further consideration.

BACKGROUND:

In 1990, developers began using the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 to create maintenance districts to finance maintenance of decorative block fencing and landscaping improvements located along arterial and collector streets adjacent to subdivisions. Since 1990, 44 landscape and lighting assessment districts and 3 Community Facilities Districts have been created encompassing 64 acres of landscape. Seventeen (17) of these districts were built before 2000 and do not have a Consumer Price Index (CPI) provision to increase revenue.

With costs for utilities and maintenance increasing over the years, staff have been forced to reduce the levels of service, to balance expenditures and revenues. Six (6) of these districts have had maintenance eliminated to reduce costs and have deficient reserve funds balanced. This has become highly visible, with trees and shrubs in need of pruning, turf mowed monthly (by City staff) and a sparse landscape void of plant material and bark/mulch.

During the January 20, 2026, Council Study Session staff requested direction from Council on the process the landscape maintenance contract was being administered for the landscape and lighting assessment districts. Staff proposed as option 2, the landscape maintenance contract be advertised as a Request for Bids (RFB). An RFB works for straightforward projects with clear specs, focusing on the lowest price from qualified vendors. For the RFB, staff developed a very detailed scope of services, with maintenance standards, and expectations for the winning bidder. Staff also proposed as option 3, the creation of a new Public Works Division. Landscape maintenance would be performed by City staff. This division would be responsible for the maintenance and management of the Landscape Assessment Districts and Community Facilities Districts.

At the completion of the Study Session, Council provided direction to staff for the completion of option 2 to receive a more realistic cost for the contractual maintenance based on today’s rates, and to complete a cost analysis using those rates versus in-house staffing to perform the landscape maintenance. Staff completed the RFB process for the landscape maintenance services and received bids from four (4) different landscape maintenance contractors.

The bids received were higher than the previous maintenance contract costs. Staff had anticipated an increase in

maintenance costs because of current fuel prices and changes in labor and material costs since the previous Request for Proposals (RFP) was awarded. With the RFBs completed, staff awarded the RFBs to keep the landscape districts maintained while the cost analysis could be finalized.

After reviewing the RFB costs, staff found that the contractual costs had increased to the level that in-house staff could be hired to perform the landscape maintenance at a more comparable cost to those contractual services.

Unfortunately, the in-house costs remain higher than contractual services as shown in the table below. Some of the key factors that push the in-house staff higher are labor costs with employee weighted salaries, equipment maintenance and long-term replacement, and startup costs (vehicle/power tool purchase).

Staff believe there are still benefits to in-house staff that should be considered, even with the increased cost. Some of these are staff members onsite daily. They would be available to respond to issues that may arise throughout the week. In-house staff would also be able to respond quickly to irrigation, tree, and safety hazards. There would also be several hurdles that would need to be accomplished for the in-house staffing. Some of these would be initial startup costs, staffing will take time to recruit, hire, and train, equipment procurement, vehicles, lawnmowers, and power tools will take time to purchase. The City would also have to decide how to address the equipment costs.

Staff completed an initial cost estimate of $220,364 for the purchase of the equipment necessary to complete maintenance and an equipment replacement cost of $25,432 annually. These costs are included (Exhibit “A”) in the annual cost comparison and would push the in-house staffing even higher than contractual services.

Other factors that will need to be considered when comparing in-house staff with contractual services are future growth of the landscape maintenance districts. As new districts are developed in the City, additional staff and equipment will need to be added. The current analysis included existing maintenance areas and the current development under construction at the Stonehaven and Lunaria CFDs. Though future CFD development could help mitigate in-house staffing shortfalls by including all the associated costs in the CFD budget, an acreage per staff policy would need to be established to direct how and when these additional staff members would be added.

Based on the cost analysis, contractual services remain a less costly option, with in-house staff providing more flexibility to offer a more responsive maintenance option. All these factors should be considered, along with the financial state of the existing landscape districts, while making the decision on how to move forward with the Citywide maintenance of all landscape maintenance districts.

FISCAL IMPACT:

If the City chooses to perform services in-house, additional costs of $873,257 as shown in Exhibit "A" would be allocated amongst the LAD’s and CFD’s over the 5 years.
