SUMMARY
The Tennyson Park Streetlight Project calls for installation of eight streetlights around Tennyson Park; four on Panjon Street and four on Huntwood Avenue as part of the agreement with Hayward Area Recreation District (HARD) to install streetlights for the renovation of Tennyson Park Phase 2.

On September 1, 2026, eight (8) bids were received, three of the eight bids were below the Engineer’s Estimate. Columbia Electric, Inc., of San Leandro submitted the lowest bid in the amount of $164,500 which is 8.6% under the Engineer’s Estimate of $180,000.

Staff is requesting City Council’s approval of Addenda Nos. 1, 2 and 3, which provided minor revisions to clarify the specifications and plans, rejection of a bid protest, awarding the construction contract to the lowest responsible bidder, Columbia Electric, Inc, in the amount 147

of $164,500, and approving $20,500 in administrative change order, and appropriating additional funds in the amount of $84,375 from the Gas Tax Fund (Fund 210).

FISCAL IMPACT
This item will not impact the City’s General Fund or Measure C.

Estimated project costs are as follows:

Design and Contract Administration $15,000
Columbia Electric’s Construction Bid $164,500
Construction Contingency $20,500
Construction Inspection and Testing $25,000
Total: $225,000
The Tennyson Park Streetlight Project will be fully funded by a contribution from HARD and a proposed City match from the Gas Tax Fund. There is sufficient available fund balance in Gas Tax Fund (Fund 210). HARD will reimburse 5/8 of the total project cost, up to $140,625 in project costs, proportionally, after project completion.

Proposed revenue sources:

HARD Reimbursement $140,625
City of Hayward Fund 210 – Gas Tax Fund $84,375
Total: $225,000
Currently this project is in Fund 405 in the Neighborhood Improvement Program Project No. 06950. In order to better track the project expenditures, staff recommends the following actions, which are reflected in the attached resolution:
• Create a standalone CIP project in Fund 210 and Fund 405: Tennyson Park Streetlight Project No. 06973.
• Appropriate the City’s matching portion of $84,375 from Gas Tax Fund 210 to Project No. 06973.
• Transfer $140,625 in revenue and appropriations from Project No. 06950 in Fund 405 to Project No. 06973 in Fund 210.

BACKGROUND
The Tennyson Park area currently lacks streetlights along the eastern portion of Panjon Street (near Mia’s Dream Come True Playground) and the frontage of Huntwood Avenue. The City required HARD to install new streetlights on the park side of Panjon Street and Huntwood Avenue. An agreement was made between the City and HARD, that the City would contract for and install streetlight on Huntwood Avenue and Panjon Street, and HARD would provide funding for five streetlights adjacent to Tennyson Park.

New streetlights will help illuminate the sidewalks in the neighborhood, complementing recent improvements in the area, including:
• Hayward Firehouse Clinic located across the street from Tennyson Park (2015) 148

Page 3 of 6 ends

• Mia's Dream Come True Playground (2021)
• Tennyson Park improvements (2025)
• Nearby Stack Center Phase I (2025).

In 2023, HARD and City staff agreed on the cost of installing streetlights around Tennyson Park, with HARD reimbursing the City for its share of five streetlights at an amount not-toexceed $140,625. The remaining three streetlights will serve City streets.

On September 5, 2023, the HARD Board approved funding for additional streetlights along Tennyson Park (Attachment III).

In June 2024, HARD began construction on the Tennyson Park Renovation project. The project consisted of the renovation of nine acres of parkland, including: renovation of a sports field, a new pump track, modifications to the skate park, new basketball and bankshot courts, new picnic areas, new site furnishings, lighting, a prefabricated maintenance building, pedestrian walkways, a new parking lot, new bioretention basins, and landscaping.

On September 19, 2025, HARD held a grand reopening for Tennyson Park.

DISCUSSION
June 16, 20261, the City Council approved the plans and specifications for the Tennyson Park Streetlight Project, Project No. 06973 and called for bids to be received on August 4, 2026.

On July 30, 2026, staff issued Addendum No. 1 to revise specifications and bid opening date to be received on September 1, 2026.

On August 19, 2026, staff issued Addendum No. 2 to revise specifications.

On August 27, 2026, staff issued Addendum No. 3 to revise plan and specifications.

On September 1, 2026, eight (8) bids were received, three of the eight bids were under the Engineer’s Estimate. Columbia Electric, Inc., of San Leandro submitted the lowest bid in the amount of $164,500 which is 8.6% under the Engineer’s Estimate of $180,000. St. Francis Electic, LLC., of San Leandro, submitted the second lowest bid in the amount of $167,000 which is 7.2% under the Engineer’s Estimate.

On September 2, 2026, Columbia Electric, Inc. submitted a revised document acknowledging Addendum No. 3, which had not been acknowledged in its original bid submittal. 1 https://hayward.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx#docaccess-10374535d5f7d32db7e1d3f31c140068 149

BID PROTEST
On September 10, 2026, the second lowest bidder, St. Francis Electric, LLC., submitted a bid protest (Attachment IV) requesting to:

1. Find Columbia Electric, Inc.'s bid nonresponsive for failure to acknowledge Addendum No. 3 at the time of bid.

2. Reject Columbia Electric, Inc.'s subsequent acknowledgement of Addendum No. 3.

3. Determine that the omission cannot be waived as an inconsequential irregularity because waiving it would provide Columbia Electric, Inc., an advantage or benefit unavailable to bidders that timely complied.

4. Reject Columbia’s Electric, LLC’s bid.

On September 16, 2026, the lowest bidder, Columbia Electric, Inc., submitted a response to the bid protest stating that its omission of Addendum No. 3 acknowledgement is an immaterial defect. Columbia Electric, Inc.'s bid price, schedule, and scope already conform to all requirements of Addendum No. 3, and the omission of Addendum No. 3 acknowledgement did not give Columbia Electric an unfair advantage. (Attachment V) On September 21, 2026, City staff provided a response letter to St. Francis Electric, LLC.’s bid protest (Attachment VI). City staff, along with the City Attorney’s Office, determined that low bidder Columbia Electric, LLC.’s failure to acknowledge Addendum No. 3 in its original bid, which was subsequently corrected, was an inconsequential discrepancy. This inconsequential oversight did not affect the amount of Columbia Electric, LLC.’s bid, give Columbia Electric, LLC. an advantage over other bidders, constitute favoritism or bias towards Columbia Electric, LLC., influence potential bidders to refrain from bidding, or affect the ability to make bid comparisons.

As such, the City staff recommends that Council reject the bid protest and proceed with awarding the contract to Columbia Electric, LLC.

This project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15303(d), which exempts the construction and installation of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures, including utility extensions and street improvements.

ECONOMIC IMPACT
The project will generate economic benefits by:
• Enhanced Public Safety - Improved lighting will deter vandalism and criminal activity, creating a safer environment for all park users and surrounding residents. • Reduction in Pedestrian Hazards - Illuminated sidewalk will significantly reduce the risk of trip and fall incidents for pedestrians.
150

Page 5 of 6 ends

• Improved Traffic and Crosswalk Safety - Lighting will enhance visibility for crosswalks on Panjon St/Aradon Ave intersection and Panjon St/Huntwood Ave intersection, reducing the likelihood of vehicle-pedestrian c.

STRATEGIC ROADMAP
While this agenda item is not associated with a specific project identified in the Strategic Roadmap, it supports the Enhance Community safety and Quality of Life priority, specifically:
• Invest in Cleanliness and Blight Reduction
• Activate Public Spaces

SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES
The project requires the contractor to recycle all construction and demolition debris generated from the project.

The project satisfies the following 2040 General Plan policies:
• M-3.1 Serving All Users
• M-5.1 Pedestrian Needs
• M-5.6 Safe Pedestrian Crossings

PUBLIC CONTACT
After the construction contract is awarded, a preliminary notice explaining the project will be posted and distributed to all residents and businesses along the affected streets. After the construction work has been scheduled, signs on barricades will be posted seventy-two hours prior to commencement of work indicating the date and time of work for each street. Residents will be advised to park their vehicles on side streets outside of the work area during the period when the streets are being treated.

Subject: City Response to Bid Protest
Dear Mr. Dunham:

The City has reviewed St. Francis Electric’s bid protest as to the Tennyson Park Streetlight Project.

City staff, along with the City Attorney’s Office, has determined that low bidder Columbia Electric’s failure to acknowledge Addendum No. 3 in its original bid, which was subsequently corrected, was an inconsequential discrepancy. This inconsequential oversight did not affect the amount of Columbia Electric’s bid, give Columbia Electric an advantage over other bidders, constitute favoritism or bias towards Columbia Electric, influence potential bidders to refrain from bidding, or affect the ability to make bid comparisons. As such, the City has determined that the bid protest should be rejected.

The Tennyson Park Streetlight Project will be presented at the City Council meeting on October 6, 2026 (7PM at Hayward City Hall), to award the contract to Columbia Electric. Pursuant to Bid Protest Procedures Section 3-1.04A of the Project’s Specifications, the Council will consider the merits of the protest and the City’s recommendation that the protest be rejected.

Sincerely,
Acting Deputy Director of Public Works

SUBJECT
Adopt a Resolution Declaring a Shelter Crisis in the City of Hayward until January 1, 2036 unless Repealed, and Authorizing for the City Manager to Take Emergency Actions to Allow for the Continued Use of Tiny Homes on Wheels for Sleeping and Living Purposes at a Restorative Pathways Facility Located Along Huntwood Avenue within the Harder/Tennyson Neighborhood.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council takes emergency action by approving a Resolution (Attachment II) declaring a shelter crisis until January 1, 2036, and suspending zoning requirements outlined in Hayward Municipal Code Section 10-1.2735(p), to allow for the continued use of tiny homes on wheels at a Restorative Pathways Facility located on Huntwood Avenue in the Harder/Tennyson Neighborhood.

SUMMARY
The City of Hayward is experiencing a homeless shelter emergency. According to the 2026 Point-in-Time Count, there are 404 homeless individuals in Hayward, which is 5% of the total homeless population within Alameda County.

They currently operate a facility within Hayward on Huntwood Avenue within the Harder/Tennyson neighborhood. To meet social distancing requirements during COVID and to provide support to additional families in need, Restorative Pathways installed Recreational Vehicles at the facility in 2021.

However, in accordance with Hayward Municipal Code Section 10-1.2735 (p), utilizing vehicles, including tiny homes on wheels, for sleeping and living purposes is prohibited within all zoning districts. As such, on January 30, 2024, the Council passed Resolution No. 24-25, which temporarily suspended certain local planning and zoning requirements for certain private property, including the Restorative Pathways facility, through December 31, 2026. Due to the ongoing homeless crisis and a lack of funding to convert the units to permanent tiny homes on foundations, Restorative Pathways needs to utilize the existing tiny homes on wheels for ongoing operations or up to eight families who occupy the units will be displaced.

As such, staff are recommending City Council pass an emergency resolution to allow for the continued CITY OF HAYWARD Page 1 of 2 Printed on 10/1/2026

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Declaring a Shelter Crisis in the City of Hayward until January 1, 2036 unless Repealed Earlier, and Authorizing for the City Manager to Take Emergency Actions to Allow for the Continued Use of Tiny Homes on Wheels for Sleeping and Living Purposes at a Restorative Pathways Facility Located Along Huntwood Avenue within the Harder/Tennyson Neighborhood

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council takes emergency action by adopting a Resolution (Attachment II) declaring a shelter crisis until January 1, 2036, and suspending zoning requirements outlined in Hayward Municipal Code Section 10-1.2735(p), to allow for the continued use of tiny homes on wheels at a Restorative Pathways Facility located on Huntwood Avenue in the Harder/Tennyson Neighborhood.

Restorative Pathways provides emergency shelter and transitional housing for individuals and families experiencing homelessness because they are fleeing interpersonal violence in their primary residence. They currently operate a facility within Hayward on Huntwood Avenue within the Harder/Tennyson neighborhood. To meet social distancing requirements during COVID and to provide support to additional families in need, Restorative Pathways installed Recreational Vehicles at the facility in 2021. However, in accordance with Hayward Municipal Code Section 10-1.2735 (p), utilizing vehicles, including tiny homes on wheels, for sleeping and living purposes is prohibited within all zoning districts. As such, on January 30, 2024, the Council passed Resolution No. 24-25, which temporarily suspended certain local planning and zoning requirements for certain private property, including the Restorative Pathways facility, through December 31, 2026. Due to the ongoing homeless crisis and a lack of funding to convert the units to permanent tiny homes on foundations, Restorative Pathways needs to utilize the existing tiny homes on wheels for ongoing operations or up to eight families who occupy the 168

units will be displaced. As such, staff are recommending City Council pass an emergency resolution to allow for the continued use of the existing tiny homes on wheels for sleeping and living purposes at the subject property.

FISCAL IMPACT
By Council adopting the Resolution extending the shelter crisis declaration and waiving its police powers, there will be no fiscal impact on the City.

BACKGROUND
Restorative Pathways1, formally known as Ruby’s Place, was founded in 1971 in Hayward, and had the nation’s first shelter for survivors of interpersonal violence. Within their facilities, Restorative Pathways provide shelter and transitional housing, case management, therapy, and children services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness because they are fleeing interpersonal violence in their primary residence. Their case management services include but are not limited to employment assistance, educational counseling, permanent housing assistance, and legal services.

On August 13, 1984, the City of Hayward adopted a Resolution approving a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow Restorative Pathways to operate a facility on Huntwood Avenue in the Harder/Tennyson Neighborhood. They have continuously operated at that location since their CUP approval. To ensure the safety of the individuals served by this facility, exact location of the facility is not being disclosed.

During the COVID-19 crisis, existing shelters in Hayward sought support from the City to provide adequate separation between clients and to expand shelter capacity due to increased need. In 2021, the City of Hayward provided funding to Restorative Pathways to purchase and place Recreational Vehicles on a site adjacent to their previously approved facility. Expanding their facility to an adjacent site allowed for safer separation and increased capacity; however, it also exceeded the allowance of their 1984 CUP and conflicted with Hayward Municipal Code (HMC) Section 10-1.2735 (p)2,which prohibits the use of vehicles for sleeping and living purposes within all zoning districts.

To avoid displacement of individuals residing at the Restorative Pathways facility and other shelters, the City Council unanimously passed Emergency Resolution No. 24-0253 on January 30, 2024, to temporarily suspend certain local planning and zoning requirements through December 31, 2026. Based on this Emergency Resolution, Restorative Pathways has continued to operate at the subject site without an approved Conditional Use Permit and are permitted to do so until December 31, 2026.

Page 3 of 4 ends

On August 23, 2026, Restorative Pathways submitted CUP No. UP-26-0011 to legitimize their expanded operation beyond December 31, 2026. The application calls for continued use of the tiny homes on wheels because the organization does not have the funding to make the units permanent by placing them on foundations however conditions of approval will require that the units be made permanent by a certain timeframe aligned with this Emergency Resolution, if adopted. The application is currently incomplete but is anticipated to go to the Planning Commission for approval by end of the year.

DISCUSSION
While Restorative Pathways has applied for a CUP to bring their site and current operations into compliance, they do not have the funding to place the tiny homes onto permanent foundations in compliance with applicable zoning standards. The placement of Recreational Vehicles to allow for social distancing and to address an increased need for shelter, originally in response to COVID-19 pandemic, has resulted in unrelated positive impacts on service delivery and the individuals served. The current tiny homes on wheels provide individuals and families who are fleeing interpersonal violence with independent spaces to feel safe, heal and stabilize their lives. These spaces are atypical in shelters which typically rely on the congregate living model for service delivery. Due to their success with establishing these independent spaces, Restorative Pathways would like to continue utilizing the vehicles to serve their clients while they raise capital to design, permit and construct permanent facilities.

Restorative Pathways has been a trusted operator and partner within the City for over 55 years, and their subject facility has operated in harmony with the surrounding properties.

Recognizing the beneficial services Restorative Pathways provides, staff evaluated several options to allow the continued use of the tiny homes on wheels. These included zoning text amendments, rezoning the site and/or general plan amendments. Ultimately, staff determined an Emergency Resolution was the best interim solution as it was temporary, would ensure no lapse in approvals for Restorative Pathways, and provide the organization time to fundraise to make the units permanent. Furthermore, this path would not result in additional development of this type throughout the City.

As such, staff is recommending City Council pass the Emergency Resolution in Attachment II to allow for the continued use of tiny homes on wheels at the subject property until January 1, 2036. This will provide Restorative Pathways with ample time to identify and implement a permanent solution while still being able to provide much-needed services within the City of Hayward.

STRATEGIC ROADMAP
This agenda item supports the Strategic Priority of Preserve, Protect & Produce Housing but is not specifically related to a project identified within the Strategic Roadmap. 170

Page 4 of 4 ends

ECONOMIC IMPACT
There is no expected material economic impact related to this action.

PUBLIC CONTACT
On September 25, 2026, a notice was sent to residents and homeowners within a 300-foot radius of the project site and a legal ad was published in The Daily Review informing the community of this agenda item. To date, we have not received any public comments in response to these notices.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) since this resolution will only allow for continued use of tiny homes on wheels at the subject site for a limited amount of time. Furthermore, this project is statutorily exempt under Section 15268 of the CEQA Guidelines as the project is a ministerial project since the placement of the tiny homes on wheels solely involves issuance of encroachment and building permits.

NEXT STEPS
If approved, Restoration Pathways will continue utilizing the existing tiny homes on wheels.

Furthermore, Restorative Pathways will continue working on obtaining their Conditional Use Permit approval from the Hayward Planning Commission and apply for any necessary permits to ensure compliance with all applicable health and safety standards.

That this project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) since this resolution will only allow for continued use of tiny homes on wheels. Furthermore, this project is statutorily exempt under Section 15268 of the CEQA Guidelines as the project is a ministerial project since the placement of the vehicles for sleeping and living purposes only involves issuance of encroachment and building permits; and

3. That a significant number of people in Hayward, including individuals fleeing interpersonal violence, are without the ability to obtain shelter, and that this situation has resulted in a threat to the health and safety of these people, for the reasons set forth above. Therefore, the Council finds and declares that there continues to be a shelter crisis in the City of Hayward pursuant to the authority set forth in Government Code Section 8698, et seq. and its police power; and

4. That the shelter crisis declared herein shall remain in place until January 1, 2036, unless repealed by City Council; and

5. That for the term of this Resolution, the provision prohibiting the use of vehicles for living and sleeping purposes (tiny homes on wheels) pursuant to Section 10-

1.2735(p) of the Hayward Municipal Code shall not apply to the subject Restorative Pathways facility on Huntwood Avenue in the Harder/Tennyson Neighborhood. At the City Manager’s discretion and with approval by the City Council, interim municipal health and safety provisions and land use controls may be applied to facilities ensuring minimum public health and safety standards.

These interim standards shall only apply to this project and site and shall be null and void if the use is discontinued for a period of more than six months; and

6. That the City Manager or her designee is authorized and directed to issue a zoning compliance letter reflecting the temporary suspension of any requirement authorized by this resolution and setting forth all interim standards applicable to the project. The letter shall reflect that if the use authorized by this Resolution is discontinued for a period of more than six months the land use allowances provided herein will terminate; and

7. That if this Resolution is inconsistent with any other provision of the Hayward Municipal Code, this Resolution shall control. This Resolution suspends contrary regulations in the Hayward Municipal Code or requirements of the General Plan or implementing Regulations; and

8. That this Resolution is enacted pursuant to the City of Hayward’s general police powers, and Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution, as well as other provisions of state and local law otherwise cited herein; and 174

9. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this Resolution is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the Resolution. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this Resolution and each section, subsection, clause or phrase thereof irrespective of the fact that one or more other sections, subsections, clauses or phrases may be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

SUBJECT
Adopt a Resolution Accepting and Approving Revisions to the City of Hayward Conflict of Interest Code

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) approving revisions to the City of Hayward Conflict of Interest Code

SUMMARY
City staff reviewed the City’s Conflict of Interest Code and determined that amendments are necessary to reflect organizational and staffing changes.

The Political Reform Act (Government Code Section 81000 et seq.) requires local government agencies to adopt and maintain conflict of interest codes and requires local agencies to review their code biennially to determine whether amendments are necessary. City Administrative Rule 9.1 constitutes the City of Hayward’s Conflict of Interest Code (Code). The Code identifies designated positions that make or participate in making governmental decisions that may foreseeably have a material effect on a financial interest. The Code assigns disclosure categories to each designated position based on the nature and scope of the position’s duties. Depending on the assigned disclosure category, designated individuals are required to disclose specified investments, business positions, interests in real property, and sources of income on a Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700).

The City’s last Conflict of Interest Code update was approved on September 17, 2024. As part of the 2026 biennial review, the list of designated positions (Attachment III) has been updated to include new positions and reflect organizational changes. Proposed changes are shown in bold and red text.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
A Conflict-of-Interest Code consists of three primary components: (1) the terms of the Code, including incorporation of Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) Regulation 18730; (2) the list of designated positions; and (3) the disclosure categories assigned to those positions. 1) Terms of the Code:

The terms of the Code establish requirements governing the disclosure of financial interests, filing of Statements of Economic Interests, and disqualification from participation in governmental decisions, among other requirements. The FPPC has adopted Regulation 18730 (Title 2, California Code of Regulations, Section 18730)1, which contains the standard provisions of a conflict-of-interest code. The City incorporates Regulation 18730, including amendments duly adopted by the FPPC, by reference into its Conflict-of-Interest Code. Regulation 18730 is included as Attachment V. 2) List of Designated Positions:

The Code must identify positions that involve the making or participation in the making of governmental decisions that may foreseeably have a material effect on a financial interest. Pursuant to Government Code Section 820192, a “designated employee” includes an officer, employee, member, or consultant of an agency whose position is designated in the Code because the position entails the making or participation in the making of such decisions.

Individuals holding the positions identified in Attachment III are required to file Statements of Economic Interests (Form 700) and disclose financial interests within the disclosure categories assigned to their positions.

Certain City officials are subject to the disclosure requirements of Government Code Section 872003 independently of the City’s list of designated positions. These officials, who manage public investments, include the Mayor, City Council Members, Planning Commissioners, City Manager, City Attorney, and Finance Director, and candidates for any offices at any election. These officials are commonly referred to as “Section 87200 filers.”
Effective January 1, 2025, Section 87200 filers whose statements are filed with the FPPC are required to electronically file their Form 700 directly through the FPPC’s electronic filing system. Other individuals holding positions designated in the City’s Conflict of Interest Code file their Form 700 statements with the City Clerk in accordance with the 1 Regulation 18730

Code and applicable FPPC requirements. Form 700 statements are public records and are available for public inspection and reproduction as provided by law.

The City also utilizes FPPC Form 804 (Agency Report of New Positions) and Form 805 (Agency Report of Consultants) as appropriate to identify newly created positions and consultants who make or participate in making governmental decisions pending incorporation of those positions into the City’s Conflict of Interest Code. 3) Disclosure Categories:

The Code establishes disclosure categories specifying the types of financial interests that individuals holding designated positions must disclose. Disclosure requirements are tailored to the duties and responsibilities of each position and may include investments, business positions, interests in real property, and sources of income that may foreseeably be affected by decisions made or participated in by the designated individual. The City’s disclosure categories are included in Attachment IV.

STRATEGIC ROADMAP
This agenda item is a routine operational item and does not relate to any of the projects outlined in the Council’s Strategic Roadmap.

NEXT STEPS
Upon adoption of the proposed resolution, Administrative Rule 9.1, the City’s Conflict of Interest Code, will be updated to reflect the approved amendments. The revised Code will be distributed to Form 700 filers and incorporated into the City’s Form 700 administration and electronic filing processes. The City Clerk’s Office will also complete any required notifications for filings with the FPPC.

1 Amend 2 Cal. Code Regs., Section 18730 to read:
2 § 18730. Provisions of Conflict of Interest Codes.
3 (a) Incorporation by reference of the terms of this regulation along with the designation 4 of employees and the formulation of disclosure categories in the Appendix referred to below 5 constitute the adoption and promulgation of a conflict of interest code within the meaning of 6 Section 87300 or the amendment of a conflict of interest code within the meaning of Section 7 87306 if the terms of this regulation are substituted for terms of a conflict of interest code 8 already in effect. A code so amended or adopted and promulgated requires the reporting of 9 reportable items in a manner substantially equivalent to the requirements of article 2 of chapter 7 10 of the Political Reform Act, Sections 81000, et seq. The requirements of a conflict of interest 11 code are in addition to other requirements of the Political Reform Act, such as the general 12 prohibition against conflicts of interest contained in Section 87100, and to other state or local 13 laws pertaining to conflicts of interest.
14 (b) The terms of a conflict of interest code amended or adopted and promulgated pursuant 15 to this regulation are as follows:
16 (1) Section 1. Definitions.
17 The definitions contained in the Political Reform Act of 1974, regulations of the Fair 18 Political Practices Commission (Regulations 18110, et seq.), and any amendments to the Act or 19 regulations, are incorporated by reference into this conflict of interest code. 20 (2) Section 2. Designated Employees. The persons holding positions listed in the 21 Appendix are designated employees. It has been determined that these persons make or 22 1participate in the making of decisions which may foreseeably have a material effect on 23 economic interests.

Attachment IV
188
4/11/2025 2 Amend Regulation 18730
1 (3) Section 3. Disclosure Categories.
2 This code does not establish any disclosure obligation for those designated employees 3 who are also specified in Section 87200 if they are designated in this code in that same capacity 4 or if the geographical jurisdiction of this agency is the same as or is wholly included within the 5 jurisdiction in which those persons must report their economic interests pursuant to article 2 of 6 chapter 7 of the Political Reform Act, Sections 87200, et seq. In addition, this code does not 7 establish any disclosure obligation for any designated employees who are designated in a conflict 8 of interest code for another agency, if all of the following apply:
9 (A) The geographical jurisdiction of this agency is the same as or is wholly included 10 within the jurisdiction of the other agency;
11 (B) The disclosure assigned in the code of the other agency is the same as that required 12 under article 2 of chapter 7 of the Political Reform Act, Section 87200; and 13 (C) The filing officer is the same for both agencies. [FN1] 14 Such persons are covered by this code for disqualification purposes only. With respect to 15 all other designated employees, the disclosure categories set forth in the Appendix specify which 16 kinds of economic interests are reportable. Such a designated employee shall disclose in the 17 employee's statement of economic interests those economic interests the employee has which are 18 of the kind described in the disclosure categories to which the employee is assigned in the 19 Appendix. It has been determined that the economic interests set forth in a designated employee's 20 disclosure categories are the kinds of economic interests which the employee foreseeably can 21 affect materially through the conduct of the employee's office. 22 (4) Section 4. Statements of Economic Interests: Place of Filing. 189
4/11/2025 3 Amend Regulation 18730
1 The code reviewing body shall instruct all designated employees within its code to file 2 statements of economic interests with the agency or with the code reviewing body, as provided 3 by the code reviewing body in the agency's conflict of interest code or with the Fair Political 4 Practices Commission using the Commission’s electronic filing system as required under Section 5 87500. [FN2]
6 (5) Section 5. Statements of Economic Interests: Time of Filing. 7 (A) Initial Statements. All designated employees employed by the agency on the effective 8 date of this code, as originally adopted, promulgated and approved by the code reviewing body, 9 shall file statements within 30 days after the effective date of this code. Thereafter, each person 10 already in a position when it is designated by an amendment to this code shall file an initial 11 statement within 30 days after the effective date of the amendment. 12 (B) Assuming Office Statements. All persons assuming designated positions after the 13 effective date of this code shall file statements within 30 days after assuming the designated 14 positions, or if subject to State Senate confirmation, 30 days after being nominated or appointed. 15 (C) Annual Statements. All designated employees shall file statements no later than April 16 1. If a person reports for military service as defined in the Servicemember's Civil Relief Act, the 17 deadline for the annual statement of economic interests is 30 days following the person's return 18 to office, provided the person, or someone authorized to represent the person's interests, notifies 19 the filing officer in writing prior to the applicable filing deadline that the person is subject to that 20 federal statute and is unable to meet the applicable deadline, and provides the filing officer 21 verification of the person's military status.
22 (D) Leaving Office Statements. All persons who leave designated positions shall file 23 statements within 30 days after leaving office.
190
4/11/2025 4 Amend Regulation 18730

Such persons shall not 7 file either an assuming or leaving office statement.
8 (A) Any person who resigns a position within 30 days of the date of a notice from the 9 filing officer shall do both of the following:
10 (1) File a written resignation with the appointing power; and 11 (2) File a written statement with the filing officer declaring under penalty of perjury that 12 during the period between appointment and resignation the person did not make, participate in 13 the making, or use the position to influence any decision of the agency or receive, or become 14 entitled to receive, any form of payment by virtue of being appointed to the position. 15 (6) Section 6. Contents of and Period Covered by Statements of Economic Interests. 16 (A) Contents of Initial Statements. Initial statements shall disclose any reportable 17 investments, interests in real property and business positions held on the effective date of the 18 code and income received during the 12 months prior to the effective date of the code. 19 (B) Contents of Assuming Office Statements.
20 Assuming office statements shall disclose any reportable investments, interests in real 21 property and business positions held on the date of assuming office or, if subject to State Senate 22 confirmation or appointment, on the date of nomination, and income received during the 12 191
4/11/2025 5 Amend Regulation 18730

10 Leaving office statements shall disclose reportable investments, interests in real property, 11 income and business positions held or received during the period between the closing date of the 12 last statement filed and the date of leaving office. 13 (7) Section 7. Manner of Reporting.
14 Statements of economic interests shall be made on forms prescribed by the Fair Political 15 Practices Commission and supplied by the agency, and shall contain the following information:
16 (A) Investment and Real Property Disclosure.
17 When an investment or an interest in real property [FN3] is required to be reported, 18 [FN4] the statement shall contain the following:

SUBJECT
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Accept and Appropriate an Additional $19,704 in Grant Funding from the U.S. Department of Energy for the Streetlight Conversion to LEDs, Increasing the Total Grant Award to $119,704, Project No. 06935

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the City Manager to accept and appropriate an additional $19,704 in grant funding from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant program for the streetlight conversion to LEDs, increasing the total grant award from $100,000 to $119,704.

SUMMARY
In January 2025, the City was awarded $100,000 in formula-based grant funding from the U.S.

Department of Energy’s (DOE) Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) program to retrofit streetlights with high-efficiency light-emitting diode (LED) fixtures. The project was recommended by the Council Sustainability Committee (CSC) in 2023. On February 18, 2025, the City Council authorized the City Manager to accept and appropriate the $100,000 in EECBG funding for the streetlight retrofit project.

Since that time, DOE has allocated an additional $19,704 from a separate EECBG technical assistance grant to the City’s streetlight retrofit project, increasing the total EECBG funding available for the project to $119,704. The additional funding will support the City’s ongoing efforts to improve energy efficiency through the conversion of streetlight fixtures to LEDs.

1 the City Council authorized the City Manager to accept and appropriate the $100,000 in EECBG funding for the streetlight retrofit project.

FISCAL IMPACT
This item has no impact on the General Fund or Measure C.

This project will utilize the City’s Capital Projects fund, and the US Department of Energy will reimburse the City after installing the LED lights and providing documentation. DOE aims to 1 https://hayward.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=7139169&GUID=19827ED3-6670-4319-A586-C62B8A435374&Options=&Search= 204

process reimbursements within 30 to 60 days after documentation is provided. There is no City match required.

BACKGROUND
The EECBG is a $550 million grant program funded through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to help states, local governments, and Tribes implement strategies to reduce energy use, to reduce fossil fuel emissions, and to improve energy efficiency. The City of Hayward was allocated $197,040. On March 13, 2023, the CSC recommended that the funds be split between two projects: technical assistance for the Existing Building Electrification Roadmap and to convert streetlight fixtures to energy efficient LEDs. 2 The project was originally split
to $100,000 for retrofitting the streetlights and $97,040 for the technical assistance.

Energy efficient LED technology fulfils the grant’s requirement of reducing energy use because they use less energy than other lighting types, saving the City money on energy bills.

In addition to using less energy, LEDs give off a broader spectrum of white light than fixtures with high-pressure sodium (HPS), providing a greater sense of security to the public.

This is the second time the City has been awarded EECBG funding. In 2010 the City used a portion of its EECBG funds to install LED streetlights on: Tennyson Road between Mission Boulevard and Tampa Avenue; on Jackson Street between the BART tracks and Santa Clara Street; on C Street between Watkins Street and Foothill Boulevard; and on Main Street between C Street and A Street.

Other LED installations and retrofits have included the addition of LED lights on Mission and Foothill Boulevards as part of the Route 238 Corridor Improvement Project and a retrofit project funded by the California Energy Commission in 2013. The latter effort resulted in 7,750 existing streetlights being converted from high-pressure sodium (HPS) to LED.

However, there are approximately 1,750 streetlight fixtures that still need to be converted to energy efficient LEDs. These streetlights include decorative fixtures that are not LED and early generation LED cobra heat fixtures that are not as energy efficient as modern LED. On February 18, 2025, City Council authorized the City Manager to accept and approve the $100,000 for the EECBG streetlight retrofit project.

DISCUSSION
Since the City Council’s authorization of the original $100,000 in EECBG funding, there have been changes to both the project scope and available funding.

The original grant guidelines limited eligible streetlight retrofits to neighborhoods that have been marginalized by underinvestment and overburdened by pollution, as identified through the U.S. Department of Energy’s Justice40-related criteria and the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool. Subsequent changes to federal program requirements removed this geographic eligibility restriction. Staff continued to prioritize areas of the City 2 https://hayward.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=6058174&GUID=DA9115BB-9DE5-4351-BFEE-23BFF314E514&Options=&Search= 205

Page 3 of 4 ends

with greater infrastructure needs and identified areas along Oliver Drive. Separately, staff evaluated other areas of the City where streetlight fixtures remain to be converted to LEDs and identified the downtown area as a priority for the project.

Staff originally anticipated retrofitting approximately 200 streetlight fixtures with highefficiency LED fixtures. However, project costs have increased because several existing streetlight globes have become yellowed or cloudy over time and need to be replaced as part of the retrofit to ensure adequate light output and performance. The increased cost of the retrofit reduced the number of streetlights that can be converted within the original $100,000 allocation to 78.

In addition, the EECBG technical assistance project from which the City received technical assistance funding was suspended in January 2025, with no assurance that the project would resume. Staff therefore worked with DOE EECBG staff to reallocate $19,704 from the technical assistance project to the City’s streetlight retrofit project. This additional funding will help offset increased project costs and support the continued conversion of streetlights to high-efficiency LEDs.

The EECBG equipment voucher requires the City to purchase and install the eligible streetlight equipment and submit documentation of the project costs to receive reimbursement. To proceed with the project using the additional funding, staff is requesting that the City Council authorize the City Manager to accept and appropriate the additional $19,704 in EECBG funding, increasing the total funding available for the streetlight retrofit project from $100,000 to $119,704.

ECONOMIC IMPACT
Switching streetlight fixtures to energy efficient LED reduces energy usage and consequently energy costs. This streetlight conversion project is estimated to generate annual savings of approximately 31,980 kWh of electricity and $10,920 in utility and maintenance costs.

STRATEGIC ROADMAP
This agenda item supports the Strategic Priority of Champion Climate Resilience & Environmental Justice outlined in the Council’s Strategic Roadmap although it does not fit into a specific project.

SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES
Energy experts have estimated that the conversion of high-pressure sodium (HPS) streetlights to energy efficient LED, particularly those that are ENERGY STAR rated, result in at least 75% energy savings. LED lights also tend to last at least two times longer than HPS lighting, resulting in less waste.3

PUBLIC CONTACT

NEXT STEPS
If Council adopts the attached resolution, staff will continue to take the necessary steps to convert the streetlight fixtures to LED.

Dear HYC,
I apologize for the late notice, but I sadly have to inform that I no longer will be able to continue the Hayward Youth Commission program. Due to school and extracurricular activities, it is becoming difficult to balance everything all at once and my schedule is becoming very hectic. I appreciate everything this youth commission has taught me and the love everyone has shown me throughout these past years. I especially want to be thankful to the moderators for all the hard work they have done and how amazing they are. I am extremely greatful for the opportunity and everything I have learned out of this experience. Thank you again and if there is anything you need from me please let me know.

SUBJECT
Adopt a Resolution Amending the Professional Services Agreement with Kittelson & Associates, Inc., from a Maximum Compensation Amount Not to Exceed $1,200,000 to a Maximum Compensation Amount Not to Exceed $1,300,000 for Consulting Services and Approving the Appropriation of $400,000 in Fund 213 - Measure BB (Ped & Bike) for Phase 2 of the High Injury Network Safety Plan, Project No. 06942

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the City Manager to amend the professional service agreement with Kittelson & Associates, Inc., (Kittelson) from a maximum compensation amount not-to-exceed $1,200,000 to a maximum compensation amount not-to-exceed $1,300,000 and approving the appropriation of $400,000 in Fund 213 - Measure BB (Ped & Bike) for the High Injury Network Safety Plan, Project No. 06942.

SUMMARY
On January 27, 2026, City Council adopted a resolution to authorize the City Manager to execute a professional service agreement with Kittelson with a maximum compensation amount not to exceed $1,200,000 for the High Injury Network Safety Plan, Project No. 06942. The project is currently underway, with Phase 2 of the plan anticipated to be completed in November 2027. As part of Phase 2, staff have identified the need for additional traffic demand modeling for all project corridors. These additional tasks are estimated not-to-exceed $100,000. Staff are recommending an amendment to the agreement, increasing the maximum compensation amount to an amount not-to-exceed $1,300,000 to accommodate the additional modeling work. This would not affect overall funding of the High Injury Network Safety Plan, rather would allow City staff to reallocate unused funds from other parts of the project to better meet the needs of Phase 2 of the project.

RECOMMENDATION
That City Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the City Manager to amend the professional service agreement with Kittelson & Associates, Inc., (Kittelson) from a maximum compensation amount not-to-exceed $1,200,000 to a maximum compensation amount not-to-exceed $1,300,000 and approving the appropriation of $400,000 in Fund 213 - Measure BB (Ped & Bike) for the High Injury Network Safety Plan, Project No. 06942.

SUMMARY
On January 27, 20261, City Council adopted a resolution to authorize the City Manager to execute a professional service agreement with Kittelson with a maximum compensation amount not-to-exceed $1,200,000 for the High Injury Network Safety Plan, Project No. 06942.

The project is currently underway, with Phase 2 of the plan anticipated to be completed in November 2027.

FISCAL IMPACT
This item has no impact to the General Fund or Measure C. 1 https://hayward.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=7828160&GUID=038453E9-9189-412A-84E7-16DE74EE8FCB 215

On October 27, 2023, the City was awarded $3,252,000 in funding from the U.S Department of Transportation Safe Streets (USDOT) and Roads for All (SS4A) federal grant, with a requirement of $814,000 in City matching funds to fully develop a Speed Management Plan and High Injury Network Safety Plan. These grant funds are applied across three Capital Improvement Program projects: 06942 – High Injury Network, 06943 – Speed Management Plan, and 06945 – Evaluate Alternatives to Downtown Loop. The remaining matching funds of $814,000 are currently budgeted in Fund 213 (Measure BB Pedestrian & Bicycle), Fund 215 (Measure B Local Transportation, and Fund 410 (Route 238 Corridor Improvement).

Unlike Fund 213 and Fund 215, Fund 410 (Route 238 Corridor Improvement) does not have an annual revenue source. For this reason, staff recommends replacing the Fund 410 contribution of $400,000 for this Project with an appropriation from Fund 213, Measure BB (Pedestrian & Bicycle). Fund 213 Measure BB (Pedestrian & Bicycle) has sufficient fund balance to cover the expense. The current and proposed budgets for High Injury Network Safety Plan Project no. 06942 is as follows:

Grant Matching
Current Proposed
Fund 213 – Measure BB (Ped & Bike) $0 $239,000 $639,000 Fund 215 – Measure B (Local Transportation) $0 $126,000 $126,000 Fund 410 – Route 238 Corridor Improvement $0 $400,000 $0 Fund 460 – Transportation System Improvement $2,565,000 $0 $0 TOTAL $2,565,000 $765,000 $765,000
This action modifies the agreement so that funds already allocated for the grant can be used through this consultant contract.

BACKGROUND
On January 27, 20262, City Council adopted a resolution to authorize the City Manager to execute a professional service agreement with Kittelson with a maximum compensation amount not-to-exceed $1,200,000 for the High Injury Network Safety Plan, Project No. 06942.

The project is underway and anticipated completion of Phase 2 of the plan is November 2027.

DISCUSSION
The High Injury Network Safety Plan project is currently underway, with Phase 2 of the plan anticipated to be completed in November 2027. As part of Phase 2, staff have identified the need for additional traffic demand modeling for all project corridors. The additional tasks require an increase of $100,000 to the Kittelson agreement to cover the expanded scope of work. Staff are now recommending amending the agreement with Kittelson using existing grant funds to cover costs associated with additional data analysis and other project-related 2 https://hayward.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=7828160&GUID=038453E9-9189-412A-84E7-16DE74EE8FCB 216

tasks. Kittelson will complete the modeling included in their original scope and provide additional support on the modeling of other corridors to ensure that the models are consistent and aligned across the overall Safety Plan.

This action would authorize an amendment to the agreement to increase the maximum compensation from an amount not-to-exceed $1,200,000 to a maximum compensation not-toexceed $1,300,000. This increase to the maximum compensation would not affect overall funding of the High Injury Network Safety Plan, rather unused funds from Phase 1 of the project would be reallocated to better meet the needs of Phase 2, such as providing traffic demand modeling for all project corridors and other related tasks.

ECONOMIC IMPACT
The High Injury Network Safety Plan will develop comprehensive design concepts for Hesperian Boulevard, Jackson Street, and Mission Boulevard, which when implemented, will help reduce the likelihood of serious injuries and fatalities. Vehicle crashes have a significant economic cost, both to those directly impacted and to other users of the transportation system. By helping to avoid these impacts, the High Injury Network Plan will have a significant economic benefit for Hayward residents and visitors.

STRATEGIC ROADMAP
This agenda item supports the Strategic Priority to Invest in Infrastructure.

Specifically, this item relates to the implementation of the following project:

Invest in Multi-Modal Transportation
Project N1: Continue to implement major corridor traffic calming initiatives.

Staff is bringing forward this item to advance implementation of the City Council adopted Local Road Safety Plan.

SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES
There are no sustainability features associated with this action.

PUBLIC CONTACT
There is no public contact associated with this action.

NEXT STEPS
If City Council approves this request, the City Manager will execute an amendment to the professional service agreement with Kittelson for Phase 2 of the High Injury Network Safety Plan increasing the maximum compensation from $1,200,000 to $1,300,000 and staff will appropriate $400,000 from Fund 213, Measure BB (Pedestrian & Bicycle) to replace the Fund 410 contribution for the High Injury Network Safety Plan Project No. 06942. 217

2040 General Plan: Adopt a Resolution Approving Amendments to the Land Use Element of the Hayward 2040 General Plan to Implement Adopted Programs within the Hayward Downtown Specific Plan and, Finding that the Project is Fully Consistent with the Previously Adopted Downtown Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt the Resolution (Attachment II) approving Amendments to the Land Use Element of the Hayward 2040 General Plan to implement adopted Programs within the Hayward Downtown Specific Plan (Attachment III & Attachment IV); and, certifying Findings that the project is fully consistent with the Downtown Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

SUMMARY
On April 30, 2019, the Hayward City Council adopted the Hayward Downtown Specific Plan (Specific Plan) which included programs to achieve the community’s vision of a resilient, safe, attractive, and vibrant Downtown. The proposed Amendments would implement two programs within the Specific Plan by 1) establishing a density range of 34.8 to 210 dwelling unit per net acre for the City Center-Retail Office Commercial (CC-ROC) and City Center - High Density Residential (CC-HDR) and 2) remapping a total of 130 parcels from Commercial/High Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, Parks and Recreation (between Mission Boulevard and A Street); and Sustainable Mixed Use to the City Center - Retail and Office Commercial (CC-ROC) General Plan land use designation to be consistent with the existing zoning and fully implement the Specific Plan vision.

In addition to implementing the Downtown Specific Plan, the proposed Amendments are consistent with the Hayward 2040 General Plan, the Hayward 2023-2031 Housing Element, and the City’s TransitOrientated Community Policy. Furthermore, these Amendments will enhance the City’s competitiveness for State and Regional grant funding opportunities and support BART’s planned Transit Oriented Development at the Downtown Hayward BART Station.

enhance the City’s competitiveness for State and Regional grant funding opportunities and support BART’s planned Transit Oriented Development at the Downtown Hayward BART Station.

FISCAL IMPACT
This project was anticipated in the Planning Division work plans and included in the Development Services Department’s operating budget. There will be no additional unanticipated impact to the City’s General Fund.

BACKGROUND
On April 30, 20191, the Hayward City Council adopted the Specific Plan which included design and development standards and programs to achieve the community’s vision of a resilient, safe, attractive, and vibrant Downtown. Chapter 5 of the Specific Plan contains Goals, Policies and Implementation Programs in the areas of land use, community design, housing, circulation, travel demand management, economic development and infrastructure and public facilities.

Implementation Programs are actionable techniques and measures intended to realize the goals and policies of the Specific Plan.

The proposed Amendments are aimed at implementing the following adopted and analyzed Land Use-related Programs within the Specific Plan:
• Program Land Use 6 - Remap the following General Plan Land Use Designations within the Plan Area to the City Center-Retail and Office Commercial Land Use Designation to implement the Specific Plan Vision: 1. Commercial/High Density Residential; 2. Medium Density Residential; 3. Parks and Recreation (between Mission Boulevard and A Street); and 4. Sustainable Mixed Use. (Planning, Short Term)
• Program Land Use 7 - Amend the General Plan Land Use Designation, City CenterRetail, Office Commercial, and City Center - High Density Residential, to allow for density up to 210 dwelling units per acre. (Planning, Short Term) These programs were initially intended to be implemented within five years of Specific Plan adoption (i.e. 2024), however, this timing was delayed due to limited staffing and shifting City priorities. Recent Regional and State actions have made implementation of these Programs more urgent to ensure that the City remains highly competitive for grant funding opportunities.

On March 25, 2026, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) adopted the Transit-Oriented Community (TOC) Policy2 aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions by requiring that local jurisdictions allow higher average housing densities and greater 1 April 30, 2019, City Council Public Hearing: https://hayward.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=3930920&GUID=44BB4B50-145E-4878-9158- 5B42EBAFD076&Options=&Search=

commercial densities within a half mile of existing BART stations to qualify for transportation funding. Specifically, MTC will evaluate compliance with the updated TOC Policy in determining eligibility for One Bay Area Grant (OBAG) funding starting in 2027. On May 6, 2025, City Council adopted a Resolution 25-0743 committing to working towards compliance with MTC’s updated TOC Policy. The Resolution notes the City’s intent to adopt relevant plans, policies and zoning updates such as the proposed amendments.

On July 1, 2026, California Senate Bill 79 (SB 79) took effect, which allows greater densities, heights and floor area ratios (FAR) within a ½ mile of the Downtown Hayward BART Station and the South Hayward BART Station as by right uses. The law allows local jurisdictions to exempt certain areas or adopt a local Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Alternative Plan to modify SB 79 requirements. In light of the proposed amendments, City staff developed a draft TOD Alternative Plan to shift density permitted under SB 79 from South Hayward BART to Downtown Hayward BART. Ultimately, the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) denied the City’s TOD Alternative Plan because it was not able to meet all statutory requirements. Staff will continue to work with HCD on developing a TOD Alternative Plan to capture the increased density permitted under these amendments if statutory requirements change.

On June 23, 20264, BART and City staff presented findings from public outreach related to goals for redevelopment of the BART Station and the surrounding surface parking lot and vacant land at the Council Infrastructure and Airport Committee (CIAC). The development assumptions discussed at that meeting were based on the densities set forth in the proposed General Plan Amendments, which are in alignment with State Laws related to densities on BART land (Assembly Bill 29235).

On August 27, 20266, the Planning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend the City Council approve the proposed Amendments to the Hayward 2040 General Plan to implement adopted Programs within the Hayward Downtown Specific Plan. Following the Planning Commission hearing, staff received feedback from the development community requesting a lower minimum density as that reflects current market conditions. In response, staff revised the proposed minimum density from 40 to 34.8 dwelling units per acre. The new proposed minimum density is based on analysis of recently approved projects within the Downtown Specific Plan Area and existing density regulations. Specifically, the High Density Residential (HDR) general plan land use designation, which is envisioned to be less dense than the Downtown Specific Plan Area, has a maximum density of 34.8 dwelling units per acre.

Furthermore, this minimum density is still aligned with MTC ABAG’s TOC policy. 3 Hayward City Council Resolution 25-074: https://portal.laserfiche.com/Portal/DocView.aspx?id=454949&repo=r-b6d2994c&searchid=7534f6b4- 0bd3-43f4-a74f-3196857abc61

PUBLIC CONTACT
Between September 2016 and April 2019, staff conducted extensive outreach to inform the development of the Specific Plan. Outreach included the formation of a Downtown Specific Plan Task Force, a community workshop, a five-day design charrette, a community open house, social media posts, email notifications and public hearings.

In December 2025, staff invited 22 tribal organizations to consult and provide feedback on proposed General Plan Amendments. Two tribal organizations requested consultation on this project: the Confederated Villages of Lisjan Nation and the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe of the San Francisco Bay Area. On March 4, 2026, staff meet with the Confederated Villages of Lisjan Nation. They were generally supportive of the project and appreciated learning about the City’s existing policies regarding tribal resources. The Muwekma Ohlone Tribe of the San Francisco Bay Area did not respond to staff’s emails to schedule a meeting. As such, tribal consultation was officially closed on April 3, 2026.

On February 24, 2026, staff notified mailed notification to 130 property owners whose General Plan Land Use Designations are proposed to be remapped and invited them to a community meeting on March 20, 2026. Overall, the community members were supportive of the proposed amendments; expressed a desire for their General Plan land use designation and existing Zoning to be consistent; and inquired about how the regulations would impact their property.

On September 18, 2026, notice of this public hearing were published in The Daily Review.

Furthermore, on September 25, 2026, a public hearing notice was also sent to all property owners whose General Plan Land Use Designations are proposed to be remapped and certain local agencies in accordance with California Government Code Section 65091(a). To date, staff has not received any correspondence from the public in response to this notice.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project consists of Amendments to the Hayward 2040 General Plan to implement adopted and analyzed programs identified in the Specific Plan. The recommended amendments are summarized below and can be found in Attachment III, IV A, and IV B.

General Plan Land Use Designation Text Amendments (Attachment III): The City Center-Retail Office Commercial (CC-ROC) land use designation generally applies to the core of Downtown Hayward while the City Center – High Density Residential (CC-HDR) land use designation generally applies to properties surrounding the core of Downtown Hayward. • CC-ROC allows storefront commercial buildings, mixed-use buildings with ground-floor commercial uses with residential or office space above; and, outside the Downtown retail core, townhomes, live-work units, and apartment and condominium buildings. 232

Page 5 of 9 ends

• CC-HDR allows townhomes, live-work units, apartment and condominium buildings, and mixed-use buildings with ground-floor commercial uses and residential or office space above.
• Currently, the CC-ROC and CC-HDR designations have no minimum density and allow a maximum density of 110 dwelling units per acre.

The proposed Amendments would not change the allowable uses or building forms within the subject land use designations, but they would establish a minimum density of 34.8 dwelling units per acre and increase the maximum density to 210 dwelling units per acre.

General Plan Land Use Designation Map Amendments (Attachment IV A & B): The proposed amendments to the General Plan Land Use Designation Map would redesignate certain properties identified in the Specific Plan from the following existing land use designations to the City Center – Retail and Office Commercial (CC-ROC) designation:

1. Commercial/High Density Residential (CHDR);

2. Medium Density Residential (RM);

3. Parks and Recreation (PR) (between Mission Boulevard and A Street); and

4. Sustainable Mixed Use (SMU).

A total of 130 parcels would be remapped to CC-ROC land use designation to satisfy the requirement of the Specific Plan Program Land Use Program 6 and to correct inconsistencies between the General Plan land use designation and zoning district. To avoid creating new inconsistencies, the project does not propose to remap parcels with a HDR land use designation that are zoned Planned Development (PD).

DISCUSSION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed General Plan Amendments to implement adopted Programs within the Specific Plan, as they are consistent with the Hayward 2040 General Plan, the 2023–2031 Housing Element, the Business-Friendly Hayward project, and the City’s Prohousing Designation and Transit‑Oriented Community Policy and will further strengthen the City’s competitiveness for grant funding opportunities and support BART’s redevelopment efforts at the Downtown Hayward BART Station.

Hayward 2040 General Plan: The proposed General Plan Amendments support implementation of the adopted Specific Plan7 which is consistent with Hayward 2040 General Plan8 Land Use Policy 2.7, which states “the City shall develop, maintain, and implement a Specific Plan to establish a vision for Downtown Hayward and to guide and regulate future development and infrastructure improvements.”

In addition to Land Use Policy LU-2.7, implementation of the Specific Plan programs is consistent with the following General Plan goals and policies:
• Land Use Goal 2 (LU-2): Revitalize and enhance Hayward’s Priority Development Areas to accommodate and encourage growth within compact, mixed-use, and walkable neighborhoods and districts that are located near the city’s job centers and regional transit facilities.
• Downtown Housing (LU-2.5): The City shall encourage the development of a variety of urban housing opportunities, including housing units above ground floor retail and office uses, in the Downtown to:
o Increase market support for businesses,
o Extend the hours of activity,
o Encourage workforce housing for a diverse range of families and households. o Create housing opportunities for college students and faculty, and o Promote lifestyles that are less dependent on automobiles. • Downtown Bart Station (LU-2.6): The City shall encourage a mix of commercial, office, high-density residential, and mixed-use development in the area surrounding the Downtown BART Station.

Housing Element: The project will also support the following adopted housing policies within the Hayward 2023-2031 Housing Element9.
• Diversity of Housing Types (H-3.1): The City shall continue to implement land use policies that allow for a range of residential densities and housing types, prices, ownership, and size, including low-density single family uses, moderate-density townhomes, and higher-density apartments, condominiums, transit-oriented developments, live-work units, Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), and units in mixed-use developments. • Transit-Oriented Development (H-3.2): The City shall encourage transit-oriented developments in close proximity to BART and high frequency bus lines. • Residential Uses Close to Services (H-3.4): The City shall encourage development of residential uses close to employment, recreational facilities, schools, neighborhood commercial areas, and transportation routes.

On March 5, 2024, City Council adopted Resolution 24-03810 authorizing the City’s participation in the Pro-housing Designation Program (PDP). The PDP recognizes and supports jurisdictions that exceed state housing requirements to accelerate housing production by providing priority processing and funding points. The proposed General Plan amendments are consistent with the City’s participation in the Pro-housing Designation Program by increasing allowable density and supporting transit-oriented development.

Business-Friendly Hayward: On April 21, 2026, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 26-0611 adopting Zoning Map and Text Amendments (Business-Friendly Hayward project) that streamlined permitting requirements for certain business types, established new land use regulations, and consolidated zoning districts. As stated previously, the Specific Plan provided a strategy to achieve the community’s vision of a resilient, safe, attractive, and vibrant Downtown. The proposed General Plan amendments support the Business-Friendly Hayward amendments as both work towards achieving the community vision and development capacity within Downtown. Furthermore, encouraging residential development within Downtown will support economic development by bringing more households to the area and increasing the customer base that can patronize local businesses, restaurants, and services.

Transit-Oriented Community Policy: MTC’s TOC Policy aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by allowing a greater mix of housing densities and greater commercial densities within a half mile of existing BART stations. On May 6, 2025, City Council adopted Resolution 25-07412 committing to achieving compliance with MTC’s TOC Policy.

In January 2026, MTC approved their fourth round of the One Bay Area Grant (OBAG 4)13 which includes $820 million in federal funding for projects from 2027 through 2030. Allocation of this funding, which will start in 2027, will award points and higher allocations to jurisdictions with regulations and densities that are consistent with the TOC Policy.

To date, the City of Hayward has been awarded approximately $4,200,000 in OBAG funding that supported complete streets projects, Senate Bill 743 (SB 743) implementation, a micromobility/safety program, TOC planning and a parking management plan.

Implementation of the Specific Plan programs will further align the City with the TOC Policy and enhance competitiveness for future MTC grant funding opportunities.

ECONOMIC IMPACT
As discussed above, the proposed General Plan amendments will enhance the City’s competitiveness for State and Regional grant funding opportunities. In addition, encouraging residential development within Downtown will support economic development by bringing more households to the area and increasing the customer base that can patronize local businesses, restaurants, and services. This in turn can lead to increased tax revenue for the City and further investment in Downtown Hayward.

There are six core priorities required to achieve the Strategic Roadmap’s vision and numerous key projects to advance each priority. This project supports the Preserve, Protect and Produce Housing for All priority which focuses on incentivizing housing production for all. Furthermore, this project directly supports the following project listed under this priority:
• Project H11: Work with BART to encourage Transit Oriented Development at the two Hayward stations

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
On April 30, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 19-07515, approving the Specific Plan and related Program EIR16. In accordance with Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, a lead agency shall only prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary pursuant to the conditions described in Section 15162 which are as follows:

1. Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;

2. Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of any new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or

3. New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the EIR was certified, shows any of the following:
a. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR;
b. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR;
c. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or

Page 9 of 9 ends

d. Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.

The proposed Amendments are consistent with the Specific Plan and do not require any changes to the adopted Plan. Thus, no new or unanticipated levels of development are expected as a result of the proposed Amendments that were not previously identified in the Specific Plan EIR. As such, no further environmental review is necessary.

NEXT STEPS
If adopted, the proposed General Plan map and text amendments will become effective immediately.

ADOPTED PROGRAMS SET FORTH IN THE DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN;

FINDING THAT THE AMENDMENTS ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE

PREVIOUSLY ADOPTED DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN ENVIRONMENTAL

IMPACT REPORT
WHEREAS, on April 30, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 19-075 adopting the Downtown Specific Plan (Specific Plan) and Regulating Code. The Specific Plan contains implementation programs including Program Land Use 6, to remap certain General Plan Land Use Designations within the Plan Area, and Program Land Use 7, to increase the maximum density to 210 dwelling units per acre; and
WHEREAS, on May 6, 2025, City Council adopted Resolution No. 25-074, committing Hayward to work towards compliance with the Metropolitan Transit Commission's (MTC) Transit-Oriented Community (TOC) Policy aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions by requiring that local jurisdictions allow higher average housing densities and greater commercial densities within a half mile of existing BART stations; and WHEREAS, on March 25, 2026, MTC committed to evaluating compliance with the TOC Policy as part of eligibility for future One Bay Area Grant (OBAG) funding; and WHEREAS, on July 1, 2026, California Senate Bill 79 (SB 79) took effect which allows greater densities, heights and floor area ratios (FAR) near transit by right. The law allows local jurisdictions to exempt certain areas by adopting a local Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Alternative Plan. Between April and July 2026, in consideration of these proposed Amendments to increase densities around the Downtown Hayward BART Station, City Staff worked with the California Department of Housing & Community Development (HCD) to shift SB 79 density from South Hayward BART to Downtown Hayward BART as part of a local TOD Alternative Plan. However, HCDdenied the proposal because it did not meet all the statutory requirements.

Staff will continue to work with HCD on developing a TOD Alternative Plan in the event that statutory requirements change; and
WHEREAS, on August 27, 2026, the Planning Commission considered the proposed General Plan Map and Text Amendments, attached hereto and incorporated herein, and voted (6-0) to recommend City Council approval of the proposed General Plan Amendments; 238
