SUBJECT
Proposed General Plan Amendments: Climate Action Plan, Hazards Element, and Environmental Justice Element - Discussion and Recommendation to Council

RECOMMENDATION
That the Council Sustainability Committee (CSC) reviews and comments on this report and provides a recommendation to Council to approve proposed amendments to the General Plan including an updated Climate Action Plan, an updated Hazards Element, and a new Environmental Justice Element.

SUMMARY
This report presents the draft amendments to the Hayward 2040 General Plan, which was adopted by Council in 2014. The amendments include an updated Climate Action Plan (CAP) to address the climate crisis and establish the policies and programs needed to meet the greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets adopted by Council. The updated Hazards Element incorporates new policies and programs as well as edits to existing policies to adequately address climate crisis hazards and improve community resilience in compliance with recent state legislation. The new Environmental Justice Element addresses the negative environmental impacts that have been shown to disproportionately affect marginalized populations, including racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic minorities.

This project was initiated in the fall of 2021 along with the recently adopted Housing Element.

Community engagement for all four elements was coordinated to maximize the number of community contacts and ensure comprehensive messaging. Staff is seeking the Committee’s review and recommendation to Council for approval of the CAP, Hazards Element, and Environmental Justice Element to amend the Hayward 2040 General Plan.

The new Environmental Justice Element addresses the negative environmental impacts that have been shown to disproportionately affect marginalized populations, including racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic minorities.

This project was initiated in the fall of 2021 along with the recently adopted Housing Element. Community engagement for all four elements was coordinated to maximize the number of community contacts and ensure comprehensive messaging. Staff is seeking the Committee’s review and recommendation to Council for approval of the CAP , Hazards Element, and Environmental Justice Element to amend the Hayward 2040 General Plan.

BACKGROUND

On July 1, 2014, Council adopted Resolution No. 14-108, adopting the Hayward 2040 General Plan1 (General Plan), a comprehensive planning document that provides a policy framework to guide decision-making related to land use, growth and development, safety, and open space conservation. The General Plan contains various State-mandated Elements including Land Use, Mobility, Natural Resources, Facilities/Services, Hazards, and Housing.

Hayward’s General Plan also contains Elements that are not mandated by the State but address jurisdiction specific issues such as Economic Development, Education and Community Health and Quality of Life. In September 2016, the State legislature adopted Senate Bill 1000 requiring jurisdictions to analyze the presence of disadvantaged communities and to incorporate environmental justice policies into their general plans.

Disadvantaged communities are neighborhoods with low-income households that are exposed to pollution (e.g., freeways, landfills).

In July 2009, Hayward adopted its first CAP , which included aggressive goals for reducing GHG emissions. The CAP was amended and incorporated into the General Plan2 in 2014 and includes actions necessary to meet Hayward’s 2020 GHG reduction target (20% below 2005 levels by 2020). This target was achieved two years early, with Hayward’s 2018 emissions inventory showing that community-wide emissions were reduced by 21.6% from 2005 to 2018. In January 2021, staff presented to the CSC Hayward’s 2019 GHG inventory3 showing that emissions had been reduced by 25.7% since 2005.

State Law requires that jurisdictions update the Hazards Element in conjunction with the Housing Element, and that environmental justice policies to be incorporated into the General Plan upon the adoption of two or more general elements. In 2021, the City initiated the project to update the Housing Element, Climate Action Plan, Hazards Element and Environmental Justice Element because issues of housing, climate change, vulnerable populations, and sustainable development are inextricably linked. In accordance with Statutory deadlines, the 6th Cycle Housing Element was adopted by Council on February 5, 2023, and certified by the State Department of Housing and Community Development on July 27, 2023. But the Hazards Element and Environmental Justice Element are paralleling the process for the Climate Action Plan in that the policies and programs for all three are closely linked.

On June 16, 20204, Council introduced and on June 23, 20205, Council adopted an ordinance amending Hayward’s Climate Action Plan and General Plan to include the following goals:
 reduce emissions by 30% below 2005 levels by 2025
 reduce emissions by 55% below 2005 levels by 2030

 work with the community to develop a plan that may result in the reduction of community based GHG emissions to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045.

On July 20, 20216, Council adopted a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with Rincon Consultants to prepare General Plan amendments related to the Housing Element, Climate Action Plan, Environmental Justice Element, and the Hazards Element.

Staff presented draft policies and programs for the CAP and the Environmental Justice Element to the CSC on May 9, 20227, to Council during a work session on May 24, 20228, and to the Planning Commission during a work session on May 26, 20229. On October 6, 202210, staff presented to the CSC a draft list of CAP measures and actions and the CSC offered comments including the following:

 The significant community outreach – especially the surveys completed by students is appreciated.
 More information on the timing of each recommended action would be helpful.  Prioritize the actions that will have the largest impact on GHG emissions.  Resiliency policies suggested by Save the Bay should be addressed.  We need to have more schools involved.
 The full list is overwhelming; a summary version would be helpful for CSC and Council review.
 Buy-in from the full Council is needed. A survey may be appropriate.

On March 13, 202311, staff presented to the CSC a draft survey, featuring 19 actions. In late March, staff sent to Council the survey, which was revised to incorporate CSC comments. On May 16, 202312, staff presented to Council a report on the CAP Update13 which included draft GHG emissions reduction measures and actions14. Council offered comments including the following:
 There was support for measures and actions which included: prioritizing conducting an urban tree canopy study, creating exemptions for electrification of existing homes for low-income residents, prioritizing a ban on problem solid waste materials and creating a new staff position.
 The City’s Recycling Fund and grants should be considered for project implementation.
 Timeframes for measures and respective actions seemed a little long.

 Proposed projects need to include pathways for low-income residents.

In addition, prior to the May 16 Council meeting, the Keep Hayward Clean and Green Task Force submitted a letter of support for various actions across the Building Electrification and Transportation sectors.

On October 4, 2023, the draft CAP, Hazards Element and Environmental Justice Element were published15 to the City of Hayward website, which began a 40-day public review period that will end on November 14, 2023. Staff hosted a public workshop on October 30, 2023. On November 9, 2023, the Planning Commission held a Public Hearing to consider the draft documents. Comments made at the workshop and the hearing will be summarized in staff’s presentation to the CSC.

Draft documents and information about the Safety/Hazards Element, Environmental Justice Element, CAP , and Housing Element are available on the City’s website.16

DISCUSSION

Climate Action Plan

The CAP update identifies policies and programs necessary to put Hayward on a path to carbon neutrality by 2045 and achieve the City’s adopted 2030 GHG reduction target, aligned with State targets per SB 32. The updated CAP provides measures, or specific, quantifiable goals, and actions to support those measures. For example, Measure BE-2 is to electrify single-family residential buildings in order to achieve 91 therms/person/year by 2030 and is supported by 16 actions. One Action, BE-2.1, is to conduct a feasibility study to develop strategies to electrify 10% of existing buildings by 2030. Actions may be feasibility studies, policies, or programs.

An analysis of GHG emission reduction quantification was conducted by consultants that modeled the expected reduction in GHG emissions for 13 measures out of the total 17 draft measures to collectively reduce GHG emissions by 55% by 2030. This trajectory and quantification allows this document to be classified as a “qualified CAP” according to SB 32, meaning it can be used for future GHG emissions analysis streamlining related to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Draft Measures – The draft measures address emissions resulting from the following five sectors:
 Building Energy
 Transportation
 Waste
 Water and Wastewater
 Carbon Sequestration

15 Hayward Housing Element, Climate Action Plan, Safety Element and Environmental Justice Update | City of Hayward - Official website (hayward-ca.gov)
16 https://haywardhousingandclimateupdate.com/

The 13 measures with quantified GHG reductions are spread throughout the sectors; there are four in building energy, five in transportation, one in waste, one in wastewater, and two in carbon sequestration. To support and implement the Measures, the CAP has 182 actions that will be implemented over the course of the next six years. The full draft CAP is available on the project website or directly here. A complete list of the Measures and Actions is included in Table 29, Section 13, of the draft CAP .

Inter-departmental collaboration and support will be crucial to the success of equitable and efficient implementation of CAP actions. Staff is currently working to identify gaps in funding and personnel. Additionally, many departments have completed or are currently conducting studies and programs that align with CAP measures. Of the 182 Actions, 40 are already underway. Two examples are the Micromobility Feasibility Study by the Transportation Division and the Tree Preservation Ordinance Update by the Planning Division. The existing CAP Actions that are underway may be further developed by assigning staff leads and/or additional funding.

Many measures include feasibility studies as the first step in implementation to identify gaps in resources and information. These studies will equip staff to minimize unintended consequences and center equity when implementing policies and programs.

The CAP includes the following appendices, all of which are available on the project website:

 Appendix A - Climate Regulatory Context
 Appendix B - GHG Inventory Methodology and Modeling
 Appendix C - GHG Emissions Forecasts and Gap Analysis  Appendix D - GHG Reduction Measures Quantification and Evidence  Appendix E - GHG Reduction Measures Cost Ranges
 Final CEQA GHG Emissions Thresholds+Guidance Report

Once the CAP is adopted, the Measures and Actions will be incorporated into Part 4, Administration and Implementation, of the Hayward 2040 General Plan. Attachment II shows in tracked changes the existing General Plan programs that are proposed to be amended or deleted as many are intended to be replaced by the new CAP Measures and Actions.

Hazards Element

The Hazards Element update includes policies and programs to address natural and man- made hazards including regional coordination, seismic and geologic hazards, flood hazards, rising sea levels, urban wildfire hazards, climate change adaptation and resiliency, hazardous materials, evacuation capacity, and airport hazards.

In accordance with State Law, the City prepared a Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment17 and an Evacuation Analysis18 as part of the Hazards Element update. The Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment identified new anticipated climate change related impacts and hazards in Hayward including extreme heat, variable precipitation, drought, regional wildfire and sea level rise. The Evacuation Analysis identified opportunities to improve connectivity and resiliency of the transportation system under a range of emergency scenarios. These reports along with work that the City has completed in conjunction with the Shoreline Adaptation Master Plan19 were utilized to update and create new policies and programs in the Hazards Element to address these emerging hazards. The following goals were modified: Goal 1. Regional Coordination; Goal 2, Seismic and Geologic Hazards; Goal 3. Flood Hazards; Goal 4, Rising Sea Levels; Goal 5. Urban Wildfire Hazards; and, new Goal 6, Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience; and Goal 8, Evacuation Capacity were added to the Hazards Element.

Environmental Justice Element

California law defines “environmental justice” as the fair treatment of people of all races, cultures, and incomes with respect to the development, adoption, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies (Government Code Section 65040.12(e)). Through Senate Bill 1000, jurisdictions are now required to identify “disadvantaged communities” within their planning area and incorporate environmental justice policies and programs into their general plans.

According to the Environmental Justice Technical Report20 prepared to accompany the Environmental Justice Element, none of the 37 census tracts within Hayward meet the state definition of a “disadvantaged community” (DAC). A DAC is defined as a tract that scores in the 75th percentile threshold using the CalEPA Cal EnviroScreen tool, which uses existing environmental, health, and socioeconomic data to rank census tracts based on 20 distinct indicators based on pollution burden and population characteristics (Technical Report, pgs. 3-6). However, there are three census tracts that are nearing the 75th percentile threshold:

Tract 37101 scoring in the 74th percentile, Tract 35500 scoring in the 73rd percentile, and Tract 37300 scoring in the 70th percentile (Technical Report, Figure 3 and Table 1). The three highest scoring census tracts in Hayward are generally located in the western portion of the City. All other census tracts score between the 5th and 67th percentiles.

The Environmental Justice Element addresses the negative environmental impacts that have been shown to disproportionately affect marginalized populations, including racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic minorities. The Element includes policies and programs that address pollution burden, public facilities, food access, safe and sanitary homes, physical

activity and health and civic engagement. The Hayward 2040 General Plan contains other Elements such as the Natural Resources Element, Mobility Element, Health and Quality of Life Element and the update Housing Element that also address many of the topics covered within the Environmental Justice Element. Thus, each Environmental Justice topic area concludes with a cross reference to other General Plan goals, policies and programs that would support implementation of those policies and programs.

ECONOMIC IMPACT

Climate change is expected to negatively impact national and local economies. The updated CAP, Hazards Element and Environmental Justice Element have the potential to make Hayward’s economy more resilient to climate change through potential co-benefits such as increased health and job creation. For example, increases in active transportation (walking and biking) and tree planting, would result in community health benefits. Also, the electrification of existing homes and businesses would generate many jobs, especially within the electrical trade. While there are upfront or increased costs associated with many proposed programs, equity is built into the foundation of the General Plan amendments.

Staff will provide information to Hayward community members and businesses to help them receive assistance with financial support through rebates, tax credits, other incentives, or exemptions, especially for low-income community members.

FISCAL IMPACT

Council approved a total budget of $720,000 for the General Plan updates. The project is funded by a Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) Grant from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), the Development Services Department’s Planning Policy Fund, and the Public Works and Utilities Department’s Recycling, Water, and Sewer Funds. Preparing the updates will not impact the City’s General Fund.

The CAP , Hazards and Environmental Justice elements have a combined total of 223 new actions and programs that would implement the draft policies. Of the total, 52 are currently underway. Staff is currently working to quantify the staff positions and funding needed to implement each action or program in the updated CAP, Environmental Justice Element, and Hazards Element. As discussions with inter-departmental staff are ongoing, the final numbers will be included in the Council reports. However, initial discussions have revealed the following:
 Significant funding and personnel are needed in the Transportation Division to support the 52 CAP , Environmental Justice, and Hazards actions they are leading and the additional 7 actions or programs they are supporting.  Current vacant positions in Maintenance Services (Landscaping) compound the difficulty of implementing CAP actions along with the need for additional funding and personnel.
 Building, Housing, Community Services, Utilities, and Planning have all expressed that additional funding or personnel would be required to implement one or more CAP actions.

 The Environmental Services Division would need additional staff to implement the building electrification, solid waste, and environmental justice actions and programs.

PUBLIC CONT ACT

Equitable Outreach Plan

There is considerable overlap between the issues addressed in the Climate Action Plan, Housing Element and Environmental Justice Element. As a result, staff conducted public outreach for all three projects simultaneously, with an emphasis on equity and extensive community involvement.

Prior to the Environmental Justice and CAP community workshops, staff reached out to over 100 community-based organizations and groups in Hayward to gauge interest in collaborating on the General Plan updates. Staff members have also visited various locations around Hayward (grocery stores, laundromats, farmers market, BART stations, etc.) to pass out flyers with information on the General Plan Updates and how residents can be involved. Collectively, Environmental Services and Planning staff visited 19 different locations across the City. Housing outreach has included standard surveys and interviews and an interactive housing simulation that allows people to identify sites and areas for future development.

Additionally, staff organized a Gallery Walk Event, featuring large poster boards with information on the Climate Action Plan, Housing Element, Environmental Justice Element, Hazards Element, and the History of Hayward. The posters were printed in both English and Spanish and were displayed in City Hall, the Downtown Hayward Library, BART , the Farmers Market and at Chabot and Hayward NAACP Branch offices in conjunction with outreach events. Additionally, staff offered the posters to various organizations and Alameda County Transit Authority requested the posters to display in their Hayward facility where approximately 400 Hayward residents are employed. Community members

were invited to learn about the General Plan updates by walking through the gallery and engage with the posters through QR codes.

Another avenue of community engagement has been through surveys and interviews conducted by college students in Hayward. Chabot College students have helped the City by surveying residents about parks, housing, and climate action. In Spring 2021, Chabot College students interviewed 252 residents about their experience, concerns, and ideas for parks in Hayward. Chabot students also interviewed approximately 550 residents online in Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 about housing, discrimination, pollution, and community amenities. In Summer 2022, Chabot students interviewed approximately 350 residents about their experience, concerns, and thoughts on initiatives regarding general climate change and climate action. Additionally, students in a public health capstone class at California State University East Bay (CSUEB) conducted surveys, receiving over 250 responses, around park access, pollution, access to healthy food, and safe and sanitary housing.

Staff has been hosting various focus group and meetings with stakeholders since the May CSC meeting. The City hosted a focus group with members from Tennyson High School’s Green Team – eight students and two teachers participated. In July, staff hosted four focus groups with Eden Housing tenants at Alta Mira, Tennyson Gardens, Montgomery Plaza, and Hayward Senior, with 48 participants total. Staff also met with Eden Housing staff, Save the Bay staff, the Sierra Club, and the Starr King Unitarian Universalist Church. Staff has been in communication with the Bay East Association of Realtors, who have informed staff they will oppose any requirements that are triggered by the sale of a home. Staff tabled at the Hayward Community Family Fair on June 17, 2022, the Juneteenth Wellness Festival on June 18, 2022, and the Downtown Street Party on August 18, 2022. Staff hosted a second community public workshop on July 19, 2022, where residents had the opportunity to discuss and provide input on the draft measures.

In October 2022, Council received a letter from non-profit organization Save the Bay, urging the City to incorporate policies centered on equitable climate resilience to the General Plan Update. The letter and staff’s responses with the proposed policies from the draft Hazards Element and Climate Action Plan corresponding to their comments were included in the May 16, 2023, Council report.

In addition, staff shared the draft General Plan amendments with agency partners whose participation will be critical to the successful implementation of the draft actions and programs. These include the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District, StopWaste, the Bay Area Regional Energy Network, and Ava Community Energy.

On October 4, 2023, the draft Climate Action Plan was released to the public via the City website. The public comment period is open through November 14, 2023. Additionally, on October 30, 2023, staff conducted a virtual public workshop to collect public feedback and address questions and comments from the community.

Finally, staff is currently partnering with Local Clean Energy Alliance and CSU East Bay to have students survey Spanish speaking community members and host one focus group to gather insights on building electrification.

NEXT STEPS

The public review period for the updated Climate Action Plan, updated Hazards Element, and new Environmental Justice Element will end on November 14, 2023. Upon a recommendation from the CSC, staff will present the Hazards Element and Environmental Justice Element to Council – tentatively scheduled for December 5, 2023.

The 30-day public review period for the Initial Study and Negative Declaration prepared for the CAP pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) will end on December 8, 2023. Staff will address any comments as appropriate. Staff anticipates presenting the draft Climate Action Plan in January 2024 for Council consideration of adoption.

If the City’s General Plan is to serve its purpose effectively, it must be reviewed, maintained, and implemented in a systematic and consistent manner. Implementation of the General Plan will occur through participation by a number of parties including residents, elected and appointed City officials, City staff, and City partners (e.g., HARD). Part 4 of the General Plan provides direction on how the City will implement and maintain the General Plan and sets out specific actions the City will undertake to achieve the goals and policies of the General Plan.

This Part begins with a summary of priority implementation programs for carrying out the General Plan, particularly those that need to be undertaken in the first three years (2001 4–2016). This is followed by an outline of the process for reviewing and updating the General Plan and a program for monitoring its implementation. It also outlines requirements for implementing the City’s General Plan consistent with its goals, policies, standards, and programs , and provides an overview of the types of actions or tools the City will use to implement the Plan’s policies. It concludes with tables that list specific implementation programs , organized by the topics addressed in the General Plan Elements.

Priority Implementation Programs
The General Plan contains a vision and set of goals and policies that are desirable for the community to achieve . Since everything cannot be accomplished immediately , the City has identified the following programs as highest priority for implementing the General Plan, particularly in the near term. These have been selected because they are likely to be most effective in transforming city operations and Hayward’s community character consistent with the General Plan’s Vision and Guiding Principles. However, the priority of specific actions or programs may change over time as community challenges, opportunities , and resources change. As the City implements programs on this priority list, the list will be adjusted to address new challenges facing the city.  LU-1: Comprehensive Zoning Code Update
 LU-2: Comprehensive Subdivision Ordinance Update
 LU-15: State Historic Building Code
 M-1: Multimodal LOS and Design Standards
 M-2: Multimodal LOS Guidelines
 ED-9: Business Attraction , Expansion, and Retention Program  ED-10: Town-Gown Partnership
 CS-2: Police Department Strategic Plan Annual Report
 CS-4: Homeless Services Partnership
 CS-9: Police and Fire Impact Fees
 CS-10: Disaster Awareness and Emergency Preparedness Program  NR-8: Energy reduction Initiative and Annual Report
 NR-10: Financing Program for Residential Energy Efficiency Retrofits  EDL-2: Education Partnership

Administering the General Plan
The General Plan will be implemented through policy decisions, ordinances and regulations, and future actions that are consistent with the General Plan. The General Plan is a dynamic document that should be revised to reflect changing circumstances and priorities in the City. The City is responsible for tracking, reporting and evaluating its progress in implementing the General Plan.

State law provides direction on how cities can maintain the General Plan as a contemporary pol icy guide. It requires the City to report annually on “the status of the plan and progress in its implementation” (Government Code Section 65400[b]). The City must file annual progress reports on the implementation of the General Plan with the local legisl ative body, the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

General Plan Maintenance and Monitoring
The City is committed to annually reviewing its progress in implementing the goals and policies of the General Plan. Since many of the factors and issues that the General Plan addresses change from year-to-year, an annual review and reporting of implementation will help ensure the City is moving forward to achieve the Plan’s vision. This rev iew will report on the status of each specific implementation program in the General Plan and take into account the availability of new implementation tools, changes in funding sources, and feedback from Plan monitoring activities.

General Plan Review and Update
At least once every five years, the City will thoroughly review the General Plan and revise and update it as necessary. This review and update process will focus on Policy Document goals, policies, and implementation programs. Minor updates to the Background Report may also be made in order to maintain internal consistency between existing conditions and General Plan policy.

General Plan
City of Hayward Policy Document

P a g e | 4-4 J u l y 2 0 1 4
General Plan Amendments
As conditions and needs change, the City will need to consider proposed amendments to the General Plan. State law limits general plan amendments to four per year, but each amendment can include multiple changes. Like the adoption of the General Plan itself, general plan amendments are subject to environmental review, public notice, and hearing requirements , and must not create inconsistencies with other parts of the plan. Some amendments will be policy changes, while many will likely be changes to the Land Use Diagram. Each of the changes will need to be carefully evaluated, not only for merit and potentia l impact, but also for consistency with the rest of the General Plan. State law requires that the general plan be an integrated and internally consistent set of goals, policies, standards, programs, and diagrams.

General Plan Consistency in Implementation
To ensure that the policies and proposals of the general plan are systematically implemented, State law requires that the actions and decisions of each local government concerning both its own projects and the private projects it approves are consistent with its adopted General Plan. The courts have supported and furthered this trend through their interpretations of State law.

The General Plan serves as a tool to align City decisions and actions with the community's vision.

The General Plan will be implemen ted through municipal policy decisions, ordinances and regulations, and future actions that are consistent with the General Plan. This includes City Council priority setting and initiatives, budgeting and capital improvement planning, decisions on public a nd private development projects, and City activities and programs.  Decision-makers will be responsible for ensuring that their decisions reflect the community’s vision and are consistent with the goals and policies contained in the General Plan. They will ensure that sufficient resources are allocated to various departments to implement the General Plan. However, implementation of the General Plan is based on the availability of resources.

Some goals, policies and implementation programs may not be achieved as identified if resources are limited or unavailable.

Policy Document Administration and Implementation

J u l y 2 0 1 4 P a g e | 4-5
 City staff is responsible for ensuring that day -to-day operations and recommendations to decision-makers are consistent with the goals and policies contained in the General Plan. C ity staff recommendations to decision-makers should be prepared in consideration of General Plan consistency. Staff is also responsible for carrying out the implementation programs contained in the General Plan, and reporting on General Plan implementation.

Categories of Implementation Actions/Tools
The City will implement the goals and policies of the General Plan through many actions and tools that can be grouped according to the eight categories listed below. The two - to four-letter identifiers (italicized and in parentheses) are used in the General Plan to indicate how each policy will be implemented. The identifiers are also used in the Specific Implementation Programs to indicate the type of specific implementation program:
 Regulation and Development Review (RDR)
 City Master Plans, Strategies, and Programs (MPSP)
 Financing and Budgeting (FB)
 Planning Studies and Reports (PSR)
 City Services and Operations (CSO)
 Inter-governmental Coordination (IGC)
 Joint Partnerships with the Private Sector (JP)
 Public Information (PI)
Regulation and Development Review (RDR)
Many General Plan policies are implemented through regulations adopted by the City based on the city’s police power to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. City ordinances also create a development review process that provides for City review of individual project proposals and authorizes the City to approve, condition, or deny projects based on their consistency with the General Plan

General Plan. The following is a list of regulatory procedures, plans, and ordinances commonly used to implement the General Plan:
 Master Plans
 Specific Plans
 Zoning Ordinance
 Subdivision Ordinance
 Building and other codes
 Habitat Conservation Plans
 California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
 Development Review
City Master Plans, Strategies, and Programs (MPSP)
The City has adopted many master plans, strategies, and programs focusing City attention on various types of city services and facilities, types of development, or geographic areas. These are prepared to provide more specific direction for city decision -makers, staff, and the public on how the General Plan will be implemented. They are not elements or components of the General Plan. The following is a partial list of master plans, strategies, and programs that the Cit y has adopted or plans to adopt.

Specific implementation programs in Part 4 of the General Plan call for the annual or periodic review of many of these master plans, strategies, and programs in addition to adoption of some new master plans and strategies:
 Downtown City Center Specific Plan
 South Hayward BART Form-Based Code
 Mission Boulevard Specific Plan
 Hesperian Boulevard College Corridor Plan

sources. Programming of City capital projects and their funding over time is outlined in the City’s Capital Improvement Program, which is updated annually. The follow ing is a list of revenue sources used by or available to the City to support development, maintenance, or operation of public facilities and services:
 Property tax
 Sales tax
 User fees
 Development fees
 Quimby Act (Park) dedications
 Business improvement districts
 Community facilities and special assessment districts  Municipal bonds
 Special taxes
 County, state, and federal funding
Planning Studies and Reports (PSR)
The City conducts studies and produces reports to collect and evaluate information related t o specific issues. These studies and reports are undertaken at the direction of the City Council as needed or are prepared annually to report on the status and implementation of the General Plan or a Master Plan.

City Services and Operations (CSO)
The City provides a broad range of services to its residents, businesses, and visitors and manages and operates its facilities to meet community needs. How the City provides services and carries out its operations makes a significant difference in how effectively the General Plan is implemented.

Policy Document Administration and Implementation

J u l y 2 0 1 4 P a g e | 4-9
Inter-governmental Coordination (IGC)
The City must coordinate with numerous local, regional, state, and federal agencies to implement the General Plan. These agencies provide services, facilities, or funding and administer regulations that directly or indirectly affect many issues addressed in the General Plan. The following is a partial list of public agencies that may play a role in implementing the General Plan:
 Local agencies , such as Alameda County, Alameda Local Agen cy Formation Commission (LAFCo), Hayward Unified School District, Hayward Area Recreation and Park District, and other special districts.
 Regional agencies, such as Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) , AC Transit, Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD), and Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC).
 State agencies, such as Caltrans, General Services, California Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) , and California State University , East Bay.
 Federal agencies , such as U.S. Coast Guar d, U.S. Military, U.S. Fis h and Wildlife Services (USFWS), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

The City recognizes there are unique public and private partnerships. In those instances where there are public and private partnerships, it will involve both inter -governmental coordination and joint partnerships with the private sector, as described in more detail below.

Joint Partnerships with the Private Sector (JP)
The City can combine its efforts with private sector efforts to improve public service delivery, manage public sector assets, or leverage private sector investment. By expanding the role of the private sector, the City can use its technical, management, and financial resources in creative ways to achieve objectives of the General Plan.

General Plan
City of Hayward Policy Document

P a g e | 4-10 J u l y 2 0 1 4
Public Information (PI)
The City can use a wide range of tools to keep the city’s residents informed of city ser vices or other issues of current interest. Public information can be distributed through media such as brochures, pamphlets, the C ity’s website and social media sites , mobile device applications and notifications workshops, seminars, public access television, radio, newspapers, public hearings, neighborhood and community meetings, and customer service hotlines.

Specific Implementation Programs
Specific implementation programs are listed in the following tables. Similar to the policies, each implementation program is followed by a set of letters that identifies a type of action or tool that the City will use to carry out the implementation program. Following each implementation program is a description of which policy(ies) the program implements, which City department(s) is responsible for implementation, and which department(s) will support the responsible department(s). Each program also identifies a potential funding source for the program. This is intended only to inform the City budgeting process. It do es not commit funding to a program for a given timeframe. The City will determine as part of the annual budget process which programs will be funded based on available City resources and needs. Finally, to the right of each program is a timeline that iden tifies when the implementation will be completed.

The implementation program tables are organized as follows:
 Table GPA: General Plan Administration Implementation Programs  Table LU: Land Use and Community Character
 Table M: Mobility
 Table ED: Economic Development
 Table CS: Community Safety
