Because of the high cost of moving mobile - homes, the potential for damage, resulting therefrom, the requirements relating to the installation of mobilehomes, including permits, landscaping and site preparation, the lack of alternative homesites for mobilehome residents and the substantial investment of mobilehome owners in such homes, the people of the City of Hemet find and declare it necessary to protect the owners and occupiers of mobilehomes from unreasonable rent increases while at the same time, recognizing the need of the park owners to receive a " fair return" on their investment and rental increases sufficient to cover the increased cost of repairs, maintenance, insurance, upkeep and additional amenities.

SECTION 2. Definitions.
a) " Board". The Hemet City Rent Review Commission for Mobilehomes established by Section 4 of this ordinance.
b) " Commissioners". Commissioners of the Hemet City Rent Review Commission for Mobilehomes.
c) " Space Rent".

Advisory Body Experience (body and agency)
None at this time. I have not previously served on a municipal advisory body or commission. However, my professional work in real estate redevelopment has required regular interaction with public agencies, planning staff, and regulatory processes related to land use, development approvals, and project financing. I am interested in applying that experience to public service and contributing constructively to the work of the advisory body List current and previous experience with term dates
Additional Information:

I am a Hemet resident and currently serve in the community as a substitute teacher and girls basketball coach in Hemet Unified School District. Professionally, my background is in real estate redevelopment and project finance, where I have worked on projects that require coordination between private investment, public policy, and community needs. Through that work I have gained experience reviewing development proposals, understanding project feasibility, and navigating public processes related to land use, financing, and long-term community investment.

I am interested in serving because I believe thoughtful planning and responsible oversight play an important role in shaping a city’s long-term quality of life. Decisions related to development, infrastructure, and the use of public funds should be transparent, consistent, and grounded in the city’s adopted plans and policies. My goal in serving would be to approach each matter with preparation, fairness, and respect for the public process while considering the long-term interests of Hemet residents.

If appointed, I would take the responsibility seriously by reviewing agenda materials carefully, listening to public input, and making decisions based on the adopted plans, policies, and the record before the commission. With my background in development and finance, along with my local involvement in the community, I believe I could contribute constructively to the work of the advisory body and support the City Council in making informed decisions that benefit the city.

The City Council would like more information about your interest in serving on an Advisory Body.

Please indicate your comments and views relative to the subject matter of the Advisory Body (ies) for which you are applying:

City of Hemet
City Council Meeting

STAFF REPORT
Meeting: City Council Meeting - Apr 14 2026
Department: Public Works
Submitted by: Mark Prestwich, City Manager
Jilleen Ferris, Deputy Public Works Director/Assistant City Engineer; ☐ Receive and File ☐ Consent Calendar ☐ Business Item ☒ Public Hearing TITLE:

An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Amending Chapter 58, Article III, Division 2 of the Hemet Municipal Code to Update Provisions Related to the City's Participation in the Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

1. Open a public hearing and take testimony, if any; and

2. Waive full reading, read by title only, and introduce an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Amending Chapter 58, Article III, Division 2 of the Hemet Municipal Code to Update Provisions Related to the City’s Participation in the Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Program.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Hemet is a Member Jurisdiction of the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG), a joint powers agency comprised of the County of Riverside and eighteen (18) cities located in Western Riverside County. Acting in concert, in 2002-2003, the WRCOG Member Jurisdictions developed a plan whereby the shortfall in funds needed to enlarge the capacity of the Regional Systems of Highways and Arterials due to new development in Western Riverside County could be made up in part by a Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) on future residential, commercial, and industrial development. As a Member Jurisdiction of WRCOG and as a TUMF Participating Jurisdiction, the City participated in the preparation of a certain “Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Fee Nexus Study” (2002 Nexus Study), later adopted by the WRCOG Executive Committee. Based on the 2002 Nexus Study, the City adopted and implemented an ordinance authorizing the City’s participation in the TUMF Program.

Pursuant to the Mitigation Fee Act (Gov. Code §§ 66000 et seq.), WRCOG prepared a new nexus study (2024 Nexus Study) that updated the fees. On September 9, 2024, the WRCOG Executive Committee reviewed the 2024 Nexus Study and recommended that TUMF Participating Jurisdictions

Page 1 of 52 ends

21.A.

Page 85 of 616 ends

update their fees by amending their applicable TUMF ordinances to reflect changes in the TUMF network and the cost of construction.

On February 11, 2025, the City Council adopted the 2024 Nexus Study and amended the TUMF fee schedule, effective July 1, 2026.

ANALYSIS:

On December 1, 2025, the WRCOG Executive Committee approved the implementation of an automatic Construction Cost Index (CCI) adjustment for all TUMF land uses tied to the September indices of the National Association of Realtors and the Engineering News Record, with a cap of 5% on any annual adjustment. This ensures that the fee levels keep pace with increased construction costs for transportation projects. This also provides an inflationary adjustment to the TUMF without modifying the underlying fee nexus, land-use assumptions, or fee methodology.

Definitions for single-family and multifamily residential were also modified for clarity.

DISCUSSION:

Various minor revisions were included in the TUMF ordinance, with the biggest revisions being the addition of Sections 58-71(p) through 58-71(r), and the revisions of the definitions of single-family residential units and multifamily residential units. The additions to Section 58-71 are as follows:
(p) The TUMF Administration Plan calls for a Construction Cost Index (“CCI”) adjustment to be brought forth to the WRCOG Executive Committee on an annual basis. (q) On December 1, 2025, the WRCOG Executive Committee approved the implementation of an automatic CCI adjustment for all TUMF land uses tied to the September indices of the National Association of Realtors and Engineering News-Record, with a cap at 5% for any annual adjustment.

An automatic CCI adjustment ensures that fee levels keep pace with increases in cost of constructing transportation projects and avoids large increases at comprehensive TUMF Nexus Study updates.

This approach also allows for consistency and predictability for the TUMF Program, while ensuring that the fair share principles under AB 1600 are satisfied. (r) The City Council desires to provide for automatic inflationary adjustments to the TUMF to reflect changes in construction costs over time, without modifying the underlying fee nexus, land use assumptions, or fee methodology. This ordinance also includes minor updates to the definitions portion of the previous Ordinance to clarify the definitions of residential units.

The revised definitions are as follows:

Multi-family residential unit means a residential dwelling unit that is physically attached to one or more other dwelling units by a shared wall, floor, ceiling, roof, or structural foundation, regardless of the lot or parcel configuration, ownership structure, or type of subdivision (including condominium subdivisions). Multi-family residential units include, but are not limited to, duplexes, townhomes, apartments, and condominiums with attached units. As outlined in the Ordinance, accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs), as defined by state law, are exempt from TUMF and shall not be counted in determining residential land use classification.

Single-family residential unit means a residential dwelling unit that is physically detached from any other dwelling unit, sharing no common wall, floor, ceiling, roof, or structural foundation with another dwelling unit, regardless of the lot or parcel configuration, ownership structure, or type of subdivision

(including condominium subdivisions). As outlined in the Ordinance, accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs), as defined by state law, are exempt from TUMF and shall not be counted in determining residential land use classification.

A copy of the redlined ordinance has been included as Attachment 4. Staff recommends adopting an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, amending Chapter 58, Article III, Division 2 of the Hemet Municipal Code to update provisions related to the City’s participation in the Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) program.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
 October 18, 2002 – WRCOG Executive Committee adopted the “Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Fee Nexus (the “2002 Nexus Study”). This foundational study established the framework for the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) program.

Subsequently, the City adopted Ordinance No. 1768, marking the original adoption of the TUMF program by the City of Hemet.
 April 25, 2006 – the City adopted Ordinance No. 1757 authorizing the implementation of the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) program in accordance with the 2002 Nexus Study and California Government Code 66000 et seq.
 January 26, 2010 – the City adopted Ordinance No. 1824 amending Division 2, Sections 58-70 to 58-70.6 of Article III of Chapter 58 of the Hemet Municipal Code. This ordinance incorporated updates from the 2005 Nexus Study, superseding Ordinance No. 1757 and Ordinance No. 1768.
 September 12, 2017 – the City adopted Ordinance No. 1938, which adopted the 2016 Nexus Study and updated the TUMF Fee Schedule.
 February 11, 2025 – the City adopted Ordinance No. 1955, which adopted the 2024 Nexus Study and updated the TUMF Fee Schedule.

Page 87 of 616 ends

There is no General Fund impact. Participation in the TUMF program will provide needed resources to enlarge the capacity of the Regional System of Highways and Arterials to support new development in Western Riverside County. The cost of this update includes publication costs for noticing the public hearing and staff time for processing. TUMF is paid by developers directly to WRCOG.

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-xxx

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY

OF HEMET, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE APPLICABLE

TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM MITIGATION FEE (TUMF)

APPLICABLE TO ALL DEVELOPMENTS IN THE CITY OF
HEMET
The City Council of the City of Hemet, California (hereafter referred to as the “City Council”) does resolve as follows:

WHEREAS, the City of Hemet (“City”) is a member agency of the Western Riverside Council of Governments (“WRCOG”), a joint powers agency comprised of the County of Riverside and eighteen cities located in Western Riverside County; and WHEREAS, the member agencies of WRCOG recognized that there was insufficient funding to address the impacts of new development on the regional system of highways and arterials in Western Riverside County (the “Regional System”); and WHEREAS, in order to address this shortfall, the member agencies formulated a plan whereby a transportation mitigation fee would be assessed on new development and would be used to fund the necessary improvements for the Regional System; and WHEREAS, WRCOG, with the assistance of TUMF Program participating jurisdictions, prepared an updated Nexus Study entitled “Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Nexus Study: 2024 Update” (“2024 Nexus Study”) pursuant to California Government Code sections 66000 et seq. (the Mitigation Fee Act), for the purpose of updating the fees; and

WHEREAS, in September 2024, the WRCOG Executive Committee reviewed the 2024 Nexus Study and TUMF Program and recommended TUMF Participating Jurisdictions amend their applicable TUMF ordinances to reflect changes in the TUMF network and the cost of construction in order to update the TUMF Program; and WHEREAS, consistent with its previous findings made in the adoption of Ordinance No. 1955, the City Council has been informed and advised, and hereby finds, that if the capacity of the Regional System is not enlarged and unless development contributes to the cost of improving the Regional System, the result will be substantial traffic congestion in all parts of Western Riverside County, with unacceptable Levels of Service. Furthermore, the failure to mitigate growing traffic impacts on the Regional System will substantially impair the ability of public safety services (police and fire) to respond and, thus, adversely affect the public health, safety and welfare. Therefore, continuation of a TUMF Program is essential; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that there is a reasonable and rational relationship between the use of the TUMF and the type of development projects on which the fees are imposed because the fees will be used to construct the transportation improvements that are necessary for the safety, health, and welfare of the residential and non-residential users of the development in which the TUMF will be levied; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that there is a reasonable and rational relationship between the need for the improvements to the Regional System and the type of development projects on which the TUMF is imposed because it will be necessary for the residential and non-residential users of such projects to

have access to the Regional system. Such development will benefit from the Regional System improvements and the burden of such developments will be mitigated in part by payment of the TUMF; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that the cost estimates set forth in the new 2024 Nexus Study are reasonable cost estimates for constructing the Regional System improvements and the facilities that compromise the Regional System, and that the amount of the TUMF expected to be generated by new development will not exceed the total fair share cost to such development; and WHEREAS, the fees collected pursuant to the TUMF Ordinance shall be used to help pay for the design, planning, construction of, and real property acquisition for the Regional System improvements and its facilities as identified in the 2024 Nexus Study.

The need for the improvements and facilities is related to new development because such development results in additional traffic and creates the demand for the improvements; and
WHEREAS, by notice duly given and published, the City Council set the time and place for a public hearing on the 2024 Nexus Study and the fees proposed thereunder, and at least ten (10) days prior to this hearing, the City Council made the 2024 Nexus Study available to the public; and
WHEREAS, at the time and place set for the hearing, the City Council duly considered data and information provided by the public relative to the cost of the improvements and facilities for which the fees are proposed and all other comments, whether written or oral, submitted prior to the conclusion of the hearing; and

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HEMET DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1: AMENDMENT OF CHAPTER 58, ARTICLE III, DIVISION 2 OF THE HEMET MUNICIPAL CODE.

Chapter 58, Article III, Division 2 (WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM MITIGATION FEE PROGRAM) is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

Sec. 58-70 TITLE. This Ordinance shall be known as the “Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Program Ordinance of 2026 (“Ordinance”).

Sec. 58-71 FINDINGS.

A. The City is a member agency of the Western Riverside Council of Governments (“WRCOG”), a joint powers agency comprised of the County of Riverside and 18 cities located in Western Riverside County. Acting in concert, the WRCOG Member Agencies developed a plan whereby the shortfall in funds needed to enlarge the capacity of the Regional System of Highways and Arterials in Western

Riverside County (the “Regional System”) could be made up in part by a Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (“TUMF”) on future residential, commercial and industrial development. A map depicting the boundaries of Western Riverside County and the Regional System is attached here as Exhibit “A” and incorporated herein. As a Member Agency of WRCOG and as a TUMF Participating Jurisdiction, the City participated in the preparation of a certain “Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Fee Nexus Study,” dated October 18, 2002 (the “2002 Nexus Study”) prepared in compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act (Gov. Code §§ 66000 et seq.) and adopted by the WRCOG Executive Committee. Based on the 2002 Nexus Study, the City adopted and implemented an ordinance authorizing the City’s participation in a TUMF Program.

B. In 2016, the TUMF Nexus Study (“2016 Nexus Study”) was updated for the purpose of updating the fees. On July 10, 2017, the WRCOG Executive Committee reviewed the 2016 Nexus Study and TUMF Program and recommended TUMF Participating Jurisdictions amend their applicable TUMF ordinances to reflect changes in the TUMF network and the cost of construction in order to update the TUMF Program.

C. On September 12, 2017, the City adopted Ordinance No. 1938 which adopted the 2016 Nexus Study and updated the TUMF.

D. The City adopted Ordinance No. 1938 on September 12, 2017 allowing WRCOG to calculate and collect TUMF on behalf of the City.

E. In 2018, the TUMF Program was altered to adopt a process in which

WRCOG calculates and collects TUMF on behalf of member agencies under the Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Program Ordinance of 2018.

F. WRCOG, with the assistance of TUMF Participating Jurisdictions, prepared an updated nexus study entitled “Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Nexus Study: 2024 Update” (“2024 Nexus Study”) pursuant to California Government Code sections 66000 et seq. (the Mitigation Fee Act), for the purpose of updating the fees. On September 9, 2024, the WRCOG Executive Committee reviewed the 2024 Nexus Study and TUMF Program and recommended TUMF Participating Jurisdictions amend their applicable TUMF ordinances to reflect changes in the TUMF network and the cost of construction in order to update the TUMF Program.

G. Consistent with its previous findings made in the adoption of Ordinance Nos. 1757, 1824 1938, and 2055 the City Council has been informed and advised, and hereby finds, that if the capacity of the Regional System is not enlarged and unless development contributes to the cost of improving the Regional System, the result will be substantial traffic congestion in all parts of Western Riverside County, with unacceptable Levels of Service. Furthermore, the failure to mitigate growing traffic impacts on the Regional System will substantially impair the ability of public safety services (police and fire) to respond and, thus, adversely affect the public health, safety and welfare. Therefore, continuation of a TUMF Program is essential.

H. The City Council finds and determines that there is a reasonable and rational relationship between the use of the TUMF and the type of development

projects on which the fees are imposed because the fees will be used to construct the transportation improvements that are necessary for the safety, health and welfare of the residential and non-residential users of the development in which the TUMF will be levied. The City adopted Ordinance No. 2055 on February 25, 2025 which adopted the 2024 Nexus Study and its findings.

I. The City Council finds and determines that there is a reasonable and rational relationship between the need for the improvements to the Regional System and the type of development projects on which the TUMF is imposed because it will be necessary for the residential and non-residential users of such projects to have access to the Regional system. Such development will benefit from the Regional System improvements and the burden of such developments will be mitigated in part by payment of the TUMF.

J. The City Council finds and determines that the cost estimates set forth in the new 2024 Nexus Study are reasonable cost estimates for constructing the Regional System improvements and the facilities that compromise the Regional System, and that the amount of the TUMF expected to be generated by new development will not exceed the total fair share cost to such development.

K. The fees collected pursuant to this Ordinance shall be used to help pay for the design, planning, construction of and real acquisition for the Regional System improvements and its facilities as identified in the 2024 Nexus Study. The need for the improvements and facilities is related to new development because such development results in additional traffic and creates the demand for the

improvements.

L. By notice duly given and published, the City Council set the time and place for a public hearing on the 2024 Nexus Study and the fees proposed thereunder and at least ten (10) days prior to this hearing, the City Council made the 2024 Nexus Study available to the public.

M. At the time and place set for the hearing, the City Council duly considered data and information provided by the public relative to the cost of the improvements and facilities for which the fees are proposed and all other comments, whether written or oral, submitted prior to the conclusion of the hearing.

N. The City Council finds that the 2024 Nexus Study proposes a fair and equitable method for distributing a portion of the unfunded costs of improvements and facilities to the Regional system.

O. The City Council hereby adopts the 2024 Nexus Study and its findings.

The 2024 Nexus Study is attached and incorporated herein as Exhibit “B.” P. The TUMF Administration Plan calls for a Construction Cost Index (“CCI”) adjustment to be brought forth to the WRCOG Executive Committee on an annual basis.

Q. On December 1, 2025, the WRCOG Executive Committee approved the implementation of an automatic CCI adjustment for all TUMF land uses tied to the September indices of the National Association of Realtors and Engineering News Record with a cap at 5% of any annual adjustments. An automatic CCI adjustment ensures that fee levels keep pace with increases in cost of constructing transportation

projects and avoids large increases at comprehensive TUMF Nexus Study updates.

This approach also allows for consistency and predictability for the TUMF Program, while ensuring that the fair share principles under AB 1600 are satisfied.

R. The City Council desires to provide for automatic inflationary adjustments to the TUMF to reflect changes in construction costs over time, without modifying the underlying fee nexus, land use assumptions, or fee methodology. This ordinance also includes minor updates to the definitions portion of the previous Ordinance to clarify the definitions of residential units.

S. The City Council hereby adopts this Ordinance to amend and supersede the provisions of Ordinance No. 2055.

Study for the Regional System effective at the time the credit agreement is entered into. WRCOG staff must
pre-approve any credit agreements that deviate from the standard WRCOG approved format.
b. Other Credits: In special circumstances, when a
developer constructs off-site improvements such as an
interchange, bridge, or railroad grade separation, credits shall be determined by WRCOG and the City in
consultation with the developer. All such credits must
have prior written approval from WRCOG.
c. The amount of the development fee credit shall not
exceed the maximum amount determined by the Nexus
Study for the Regional System at the time the credit
agreement is entered into or actual costs, whichever is less.

accordance with the TUMF Administrative Plan.

Sec. 58-74. REIMBURSEMENTS.

Should the developer construct Regional System improvements in excess of the TUMF fee obligation, the developer may be reimbursed based on actual costs or the approved Nexus Study effective at the time the agreement was entered into, whichever is less. Reimbursements shall be enacted through an agreement between the developer and the City, contingent on funds being available and approved by WRCOG.

In all cases, however, reimbursements under such special agreements must coincide with construction of the transportation improvements as scheduled in the five-year Zone Transportation Improvement Program’s adopted annually by WRCOG.

Sec. 58-70. Title.

This division shall be known as the "Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Program Ordinance of 2025" ("ordinance").
(Ord. No. 1955, § 1, 3-12-19; Ord. No. 2055, § 1, 2-25-25) Sec. 58-71. Findings.
(a) The city is a member agency of the Western Riverside Council of Governments ("WRCOG"), a joint powers agency comprised of the County of Riverside and 18 cities located in Western Riverside County. Acting in concert, the WRCOG member agencies developed a plan whereby the shortfall in funds needed to enlarge the capacity of the Regional System of Highways and Arterials in Western Riverside County (the "regional system") could be made up in part by a Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee ("TUMF") on future residential, commercial, and industrial development. A map depicting the boundaries of Western Riverside County and the regional system is attached to the ordinance codified in this division as exhibit "A" and incorporated herein. As a member agency of WRCOG and as a TUMF participating jurisdiction, the city participated in the preparation of a certain "Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Fee Nexus Study," dated October 18, 2002 (the "2002 Nexus Study"), prepared in compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code § 66000 et seq.) and adopted by the WRCOG executive committee. Based on the 2002 Nexus Study, the city adopted and implemented an ordinance authorizing the city's participation in a TUMF program.
(b) In 2016, the TUMF nexus study ("2016 Nexus Study") was updated for the purpose of updating the fees. On July 10, 2017, the WRCOG executive committee reviewed the 2016 Nexus Study and TUMF Program and recommended TUMF participating jurisdictions amend their applicable TUMF ordinances to reflect changes in the TUMF network and the cost of construction in order to update the TUMF program. (c) On September 12, 2017, the city adopted Ordinance No. 1938, which adopted the 2016 Nexus Study and updated the TUMF.
(d) The city adopted Ordinance No. 1938 on September 12, 2017, allowing WRCOG to calculate and collect TUMF on behalf of the city.
(e) In 2018, the TUMF program was altered to adopt a process in which WRCOG calculates and collects TUMF on behalf of member agencies under the Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Program Ordinance of 2018.
(f) WRCOG, with the assistance of TUMF Participating Jurisdictions, has prepared an updated nexus study entitled "Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Nexus Study: 2024 Update" ("2024 Nexus Study") pursuant to Government Code § 66000 et seq. (the Mitigation Fee Act), for the purpose of updating the fees. On September 9, 2024, the WRCOG Executive Committee reviewed the 2024 Nexus Study and TUMF program and recommended TUMF participating jurisdictions amend their applicable TUMF ordinances to reflect changes in the TUMF network and the cost of construction in order to update the TUMF Program. (g) Consistent with its previous findings made in the adoption of Ordinance Nos. 1757, 1824 and, 1938, and 2055 the city council has been informed and advised, and hereby finds, that if the capacity of the regional system is not enlarged, and unless development contributes to the cost of improving the regional system, the result will be substantial traffic congestion in all parts of Western Riverside County, with unacceptable levels of service. Furthermore, the failure to mitigate growing traffic impacts on the regional system will substantially impair the ability of public safety services (police and fire) to respond and, thus, adversely affect the public health, safety and welfare. Therefore, continuation of a TUMF program is essential.

Page 3 of 10 ends

(h) The city council finds and determines that there is a reasonable and rational relationship between the use of the TUMF and the type of development projects on which the fees are imposed because the fees will be used to construct the transportation improvements that are necessary for the safety, health and welfare of the residential and non-residential users of the development in which the TUMF will be levied. The City adopted Ordinance No. 2055 on February 25, 2025 which adopted the 2024 Nexus Study and its findings. (i) The city council finds and determines that there is a reasonable and rational relationship between the need for the improvements to the regional system and the type of development projects on which the TUMF is imposed because it will be necessary for the residential and non-residential users of such projects to have access to the regional system. Such development will benefit from the regional system improvements and the burden of such developments will be mitigated in part by payment of the TUMF. (j) The city council finds and determines that the cost estimates set forth in the new 2024 Nexus Study are reasonable cost estimates for constructing the regional system improvements and the facilities that compromise the regional system, and that the amount of the TUMF expected to be generated by new development will not exceed the total fair share cost to such development. (k) The fees collected pursuant to this ordinance shall be used to help pay for the design, planning, construction of and real acquisition for the regional system improvements and its facilities as identified in the 2024 Nexus Study. The need for the improvements and facilities is related to new development because such development results in additional traffic and creates the demand for the improvements. (l) By notice duly given and published, the city council set the time and place for a public hearing on the 2024 Nexus Study and the fees proposed thereunder and at least ten days prior to this hearing, the city council made the 2024 Nexus Study available to the public.
(m) At the time and place set for the hearing, the city council duly considered data and information provided by the public relative to the cost of the improvements and facilities for which the fees are proposed and all other comments, whether written or oral, submitted prior to the conclusion of the hearing. (n) The city council finds that the 2024 Nexus Study proposes a fair and equitable method for distributing a portion of the unfunded costs of improvements and facilities to the regional system. (o) The city council hereby adopts the 2024 Nexus Study and its findings. The 2024 Nexus Study is attached to the ordinance codified in this division as exhibit "B." (p) The TUMF Administration Plan calls for a Construction Cost Index (“CCI”) adjustment to be brought forth to the WRCOG Executive Committee on an annual basis.
(q) On December 1, 2025, the WRCOG Executive Committee approved the implementation of an automatic CCI adjustment for all TUMF land uses tied to the September indices of the National Association of Realtors and Engineering News Record with a cap at 5% of any annual adjustment. An automatic CCI adjustment ensures that fee levels keep pace with increases in cost of constructing transportation projects and avoids large increases at comprehensive TUMF Nexus Study updates. This approach also allows for consistency and predictability for the TUMF Program, while ensuring that the fair share principles under AB 1600 are satisfied.
(r) The City Council desires to provide for automatic inflationary adjustments to the TUMF to reflect changes in construction costs over time, without modifying the underlying fee nexus, land use assumptions, or fee methodology. This ordinance also includes minor updates to the definitions portion of the previous Ordinance to clarify the definitions of residential units. (ps) The city council hereby adopts this ordinance to amend and supersede the provisions of Ordinance No. 19382055.

However, this section should not be construed to prevent payment of the fees prior to issuance of an occupancy permit or final inspection.

Fees may be paid at the issuance of a building permit, and the fee payment shall be calculated based on the fee in effect at that time, provided the developer tenders the full amount of his/her TUMF obligation. If the developer makes only a partial payment prior to the payment date, the amount of the fee due shall be based on the TUMF fee schedule in place on the payment date. The fees shall be calculated according to fee schedule set forth in the ordinance and the calculation methodology set forth in the fee calculation handbook adopted July 14, 2003, as amended from time to time. (3) The fees required to be paid shall be the fee amounts in effect at the time of payment is due under this ordinance, not the date the ordinance is initially adopted. The city shall not enter into a development agreement which freezes future adjustments of the TUMF. (4) If all or part of any development project is sold prior to payment of the fee, the property shall continue to be subject to the requirement for payment of the fee. The obligation to pay the fee shall run with the land and be binding on all the successors in interest to the property. (5) Fees shall not be waived.

The director of building and safety, or his/her designee, shall prepare and deliver to the executive director of WRCOG, periodic reports as will be established under section 58-76 of this division. (Ord. No. 1955, § 1, 3-12-19; Ord. No. 2055, § 1, 2-25-25) Sec. 58-76. Appointment of the TUMF administrator.

WRCOG is hereby appointed as the Administrator of the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Program.

WRCOG is hereby authorized to collect all fees generated from the TUMF within the city, and to invest, account for and expend such fees in accordance with the provisions of this ordinance and the Mitigation Fee Act. The detailed administrative procedures concerning the implementation of this division shall be contained in the TUMF administrative plan. Furthermore, the TUMF administrator shall use the fee calculation handbook adopted July 14, 2003, as amended from time to time, for the purpose of calculating a developer's TUMF obligation. In addition to detailing the methodology for calculating all TUMF obligations of different categories of new development, the purpose of the fee calculation handbook is to clarify for the TUMF administrator, where necessary, the definition and calculation methodology for uses not clearly defined in the respective TUMF ordinances.

WRCOG shall expend only that amount of the funds generated from the TUMF for staff support, audit, administrative expenses, and contract services that are necessary and reasonable to carry out its responsibilities and in no case shall the funds expended for salaries and benefits exceed two percent of the revenue raised by the TUMF program. The TUMF administrative plan further outlines the fiscal responsibilities and limitations of the administrator.

City of Hemet
City Council Meeting

STAFF REPORT
Meeting: City Council Meeting - Apr 14 2026
Department: Administration
Submitted by: Mark Prestwich, City Manager
Tiffany Barnett, Administrative Services Director;
☐ Receive and File ☐ Consent Calendar ☐ Business Item ☒ Public Hearing TITLE:

Consideration of Approval of Draft Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 2026/27 Annual Action Plan
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

1. Conduct a public hearing to elicit comments of citizens, public agencies, and other interested parties regarding the draft CDBG 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan;

2. Approve the document and authorize the City Manager to sign the certifications for submission on or before May 15, 2026, to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

BACKGROUND:

The City of Hemet is an entitlement city of the Community Development Block Grant program and, as such, receives annual grants on a formula basis from HUD. The purpose of CDBG is to carry out a wide range of community development activities directed toward revitalizing neighborhoods, economic development, and providing improved community facilities and services, with maximum feasible priority given to activities which benefit low and moderate-income persons. The City of Hemet is responsible for developing its own programs and funding priorities within the CDBG (HUD) requirements, as well as monitoring sub-recipients of the funds awarded under this grant.

The 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan delineates the 2nd year of the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and serves as the budget that addresses the City’s annual goals and quantifiable objectives established in the Consolidated Plan. The City Council, at its meeting of March 10, 2026, approved the funding recommendations for the 2026-2027 program year. These allocations were incorporated into the draft CDBG 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan and will be used in eligible areas such as Public Facilities and Improvements, Public Services, Housing Rehabilitation, and Planning and Program Administration.

ANALYSIS:

Page 1 of 66 ends

21.B.

Page 137 of 616 ends

At the FY 2026 federal budget level, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) indicated that approximately $3.1–$3.3 billion in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding is expected to be made available to entitlement jurisdictions nationwide, generally consistent with recent funding levels. Despite overall stable funding, allocations to individual jurisdictions may vary annually based on HUD’s formula, which considers factors such as population, poverty, and housing conditions. The City of Hemet’s CDBG allocation for FY 2026–2027 has not yet been finalized; however, it is anticipated that funding will remain relatively consistent with prior years, subject to minor fluctuations.

DISCUSSION:

Staff respectfully recommends the City Council conduct a public hearing to solicit comments from citizens, public agencies, and other interested parties regarding community needs and funding priorities for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Year 2026–2027.

The draft FY 2026–2027 Annual Action Plan (attached) for the City of Hemet has been available for public review and comment for a period of 30 days (from March 15 through April 14, 2026), following publication of the required public notice in the Press Enterprise on March 15, 2026, in accordance with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requirements. To date, no written public comments have been received.

At this time, the City has not yet received its official FY 2026–2027 CDBG allocation from HUD. As such, the funding amounts identified in the draft Annual Action Plan are based on estimated funding levels. Upon receipt of the final allocation, staff will adjust subrecipient award amounts to align with the actual entitlement amount. As approved by City Council on March 10, 2026, the adjustments will be as follows:
 Administration - The amount to City of Hemet Administration will change based on the final allocation.
 Public Services - Adjustments will be made proportionally across all activities (rounded to the nearest hundred, with the difference going to Police Explorers).  Housing/Public Facilities - The amount to the Senior Citizen and/or Disabled Home Repair Program will change based on the final allocation.

Upon completion of the public hearing, staff recommends that the City Council approve the FY 2026– 2027 Annual Action Plan and associated funding allocations, and authorize the City Manager to execute all required certifications and documents for submission to HUD on or before May 15, 2026.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:

On March 10, 2026 City Council accepted and approved the Ad Hoc Committee's recommendation for CDBG funding allocations for program year 2026-27.

STRATEGIC PLAN INTEGRATION:

GOAL ONE: QUALITY OF LIFE:

To ensure that Hemet is safe, clean, attractive and comfortable for all who live, work, and visit.

The proposed action aligns with Council Adopted Objective under Quality of Life.

Objective 1: Enhance the visual appearance of the community to make it attractive and reduce blight.

1. Introduction

2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.

The Annual Action Plan implements the priorities and goals identified in the City’s Consolidated Plan.

These priorities focus on providing decent housing, creating a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents. CDBG funds will be used to support activities such as housing rehabilitation, public facility and infrastructure improvements, and public services. These activities are intended to improve housing conditions, increase access to essential services and public facilities, and strengthen economic stability for low- and moderate-income households. The anticipated outcomes align with HUD’s performance measurement framework and are expected to increase the availability/accessibility, affordability, and sustainability of housing and community development resources within the community.

3. Evaluation of past performance
This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or projects.

A Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) is prepared annually to demonstrate progress in meeting the City’s annual objectives. Overall, Hemet has been successful in implementing its CDBG public improvement and community service projects and programs and meeting the goals and objectives established in the previous Consolidated Plan.

The timeliness of expenditures is an area that needs improvement. Ensuring that the internal City departments who have larger CDBG allocations for public facility/improvement projects meet their project expenditure goals will alleviate rollover of funds into the Line of Credit. This will keep the City in compliance with the timeliness requirements.

The diverse population of Hemet is accompanied by divergent needs to help attain personal, educational, employment, recreational, housing, and other goals. The City is struggling to balance limitations of available resources and the need to address some very critical issues including maintaining affordable housing, homelessness, aging infrastructure and community facilities, inadequate services, and underemployment.

1. Introduction
As a CDBG entitlement grantee, the City of Hemet prepares the Annual Plan, which represents both an application for entitlement funds and a housing and community development planning document, for submission to HUD. The City is responsible for developing its own programs and funding priorities within HUD requirements, through the Annual Plan Process. In order to develop and implement an effective plan the City must actively engage residents, public agencies and other interested parties at all stages of the process. Through a variety of methods the City has reached out to affected residents, public agencies, and other interested parties seeking their comments, concerns, needs and priorities in developing its strategy for use of CDBG funds.

Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l))
During the Annual Plan process, City partners were contacted in person through email, mail, public meetings and notices, and telephone. The City provided a variety of opportunities, such as public hearings and public meetings for collaboration with its partners and to enhance coordination efforts.

Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.

The Riverside County Continuum of Care (CoC) is designed to promote community-wide planning and strategic use of resources to: address homelessness; improve coordination and integration with mainstream resources and other programs targeted to people experiencing homelessness; improve data collection and performance measurement; and allow each community to design programs to the particular strengths and challenges within the community. The goal of the Riverside County Housing, Homeless Prevention, and Workforce Services (HHPWS) which serves as the lead agency of the CoC, is to coordinate homeless efforts and meet the varied needs of the County's homeless residents as well as establishing policies and procedures for oversight. The CoC is comprised of a wide-range of community stakeholders that include businesses, community service groups, faith-based agencies, local government, private foundations and anyone with a desire to support the goals of the CoC.

Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS

1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal-setting The City of Hemet’s Citizen Participation Plan both provide for and encourage public participation. The primary purpose of the programs covered by this Citizen Participation Plan is to improve communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and growing economic opportunities—all principally for low and moderate income people. Therefore, the City will publish notices of public meetings, comment periods and public hearings in both the Press Enterprise and Spanish language, La Prensa newspapers, and on the City website www.hemetca.gov to encourage involvement by all of its citizens, particularly, low- and moderate- income residents, residents of blighted neighborhoods, minorities, non-English speaking persons and persons with disabilities who may benefit from the use of HUD funded activities.

In addition, the City will consult with the Housing Authority of Riverside County to encourage the participation of residents of assisted housing developments within the City of Hemet. Opportunities for public participation may also be publicized through direct notification (mail, e-mail or flyers) of groups and individuals who have expressed an interest or whom the City identifies as having a greater potential interest, such as disabled persons, minorities, seniors, youth, etc. The City will provide opportunities for public involvement at all stages of the process, including:
• Identifying needs;
• Prioritizing identified needs; and
• Overseeing the way in which programs are carried out.

In preparing the Annual Action Plan, careful consideration will be given to all comments and views expressed by the public, whether given as verbal testimony at the public hearing or submitted in writing during the review and comment period. All submitted Annual Action Plans will have a section that presents all public comments, City responses, and explains why any comments were not accepted.

Expected Resources
AP-15 Expected Resources – 91.220(c)(1,2)
Introduction
The City of Hemet's SP-35 Anticipated Resources section outlines the expected financial resources available to address the community's housing and development needs over the Consolidated Plan period. These resources primarily include federal funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), supplemented by state and local funds, as well as private investments.

The primary federal resource is the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), an annual allocation from HUD designed to support a wide range of community development activities, including affordable housing, anti-poverty programs, and infrastructure development.

To maximize the impact of these federal funds, the City actively seeks to leverage additional resources, including state and local funds, private investments, and program income. State and local funds consist of grants and allocations from state programs and local government budgets that align with the City's housing and community development objectives. Private investments involve partnerships with private developers, financial institutions, and non-profit organizations to attract capital for housing and economic development projects. Program income refers to revenue generated from previous HUD-funded activities, such as loan repayments, which can be reinvested into new projects.

The anticipated resources will be strategically allocated to address the priority needs identified in the Consolidated Plan, which include developing and preserving affordable rental and ownership housing options for low- and moderate-income households, providing assistance and services to prevent homelessness and support those currently experiencing homelessness, and investing in public facilities, infrastructure improvements, and economic development initiatives to enhance the quality of life in Hemet's neighborhoods. By effectively utilizing and coordinating these resources, the City of Hemet aims to make significant progress toward its goals of providing safe, affordable housing and fostering a vibrant, sustainable community.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
While the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program does not mandate a matching requirement, the City of Hemet is committed to maximizing the impact of these federal funds by leveraging a array of additional resources. This strategic approach involves integrating federal funds with state and local resources, as well as private investments, to comprehensively address the community's housing and development needs.

Historically, Hemet has successfully combined CDBG allocations with various funding sources to enhance project outcomes. For instance, the city has utilized funds from the State of California Housing and Community Development HOME program, Mortgage Credit Certificates (MCC) administered by Riverside County, and local utility conservation and energy efficiency programs offered by Southern California Edison and Southern California Gas. These collaborations have been instrumental in advancing affordable housing projects, improving community facilities, upgrading infrastructure, and supporting public service programs.

Additionally, the city actively pursues other governmental funding opportunities, such as regional, state, and federal infrastructure grants. By identifying, monitoring, and applying for these funds, Hemet aims to supplement its CDBG resources, thereby facilitating more comprehensive and impactful community development initiatives.

If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan The City of Hemet, in collaboration with the Housing Authority of Riverside County, owns various parcels of land and properties within its jurisdiction. These publicly owned assets present significant opportunities to address the housing and community development needs identified in the city's strategic plans. When development opportunities arise, the city and the housing authority work together to strategically plan and develop these properties. Such collaborations are designed to maximize the positive impact on the community, ensuring that developments align with broader goals of sustainability, affordability, and enhanced quality of life for residents.

Discussion
The challenges associated with meeting the housing and community development needs in Hemet often surpass the available resources. To bridge this gap, the city is proactive in seeking and securing additional funding from local, state, federal, and private sources. By leveraging CDBG funds alongside these supplementary resources, Hemet enhances its capacity to undertake and complete projects that might otherwise be unfeasible. This collaborative and resourceful approach underscores the city's dedication to fostering a vibrant, and sustainable community for all its residents.

Introduction
The City of Hemet has identified a range of projects that will be funded through Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocations for the 2026-2027 program year. These projects are designed to address the highest priority needs identified in the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, focusing on affordable housing preservation, public services, infrastructure improvements, economic development, and homelessness prevention.

The selection of projects is based on community input, needs assessments, and data analysis to ensure that resources are directed toward programs that will have the greatest impact on low- and moderateincome (LMI) residents. The City's investments will improve the quality of life for its most vulnerable populations by enhancing housing stability, accessibility, business opportunities, and social services.

1 Project Name Fair Housing
Target Area City Wide
Goals Supported Fair Housing & Tenant Support
Needs Addressed Affordable Housing
Homelessness Prevention
Funding CDBG: $49,000.00
Description The purpose and intent of the project is to provide services to the residents of Hemet which will serve to overcome impediments to fair housing and to someday eradicate housing discrimination. In addition, the purpose and intent of the proposed project is to provide services to the residents of Hemet which will bring mediation and resolution to landlord/ tenant concerns and disputes. The needs are identified through the nature of the calls received daily at the FHCRC offices.

Approximately1,800 residents will be served, with 90% being low to moderate income. The common thread is discrimination against residents that are members of state and federal protected classes, and disputes regarding rent, habitability, and notices. FHCRC services also facilitate home ownership, whether for potential new owners or those facing economic problems.
