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

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 policy 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 legislative 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 review 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 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 potential 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 implemented 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 and 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.

▪ 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. City 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

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 City 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:

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 following 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

Planning Studies and Reports (PSR)
The City conducts studies and produces reports to collect and evaluate information related to 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.

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 services 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 does 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 identifies 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
▪ Table NR: Natural Resources
