STAFF REPORT

HOLLISTER CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: March 16, 2026
REPORT # Human Resources -2026-01
AGENDA ITEM: A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE ADDITION OF TWO (2) ADMIN ANALYST POSITIONS AND REMOVAL OF ONE (1) EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO

THE CITY MANAGER POSITION IN THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE AND ADDITION OF ONE (1) POLICE SERVICES OFFICER POSITION TO THE POLICE

DEPARTMENT
DEPARTMENT: Human Resources
DEPARTMENT HEAD: Ana Cortez, City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution approving the addition of two (2) Administrative Analyst positions and removal of one (1) Executive Assistant to the City Manager position in the City Manager's office and the addition of one (1) Police Services Officer position to the Police Department.

DISCUSSION: City departments periodically evaluate operational needs to ensure the organization is adequately staffed to meet service demands and support strategic priorities. Through ongoing review of departmental workloads, responsibilities, and operational needs, City staff have identified areas where staffing adjustments are necessary to maintain efficiency and support effective service delivery.

Based on this evaluation, staff is recommending modifications to staffing within the City Manager's Office and the Police Department.

Staff recommend the addition of two (2) Administrative Analyst positions within the City Manager's Office with one (1) of these positions replacing the existing Executive Assistant to the City Manager classification.

This adjustment reflects an operational shift to better align staffing with the current administrative, analytical, and project management needs of the City Manager's Office with a focus on community engagement and economic development. Administrative Analysts provide professional -level analytical and program support, including policy analysis, project coordination, research, and support for citywide initiatives.

This change will maintain the City Manager's Office staffing level while allowing the department to better address current operational demands and support implementation of City Council priorities.

Staff also recommends the addition of one (1) Police Services Officer position within the Police Department. Police Services Officers perform a variety of non -sworn duties with a focus on records maintenance, adherence to retention schedules, and close monitoring of parties that access records. This position reflects the City Manager's desire for greater accountability in the area of records maintenance.

FISCAL IMPACT: The fully burdened cost, including salary and benefits, for one (1) full- time Administrative Analyst position is estimated to be $197,572.23/annually. Making the total for two (2) Administrative Analysts $395,144.46/annually. As previously mentioned, one of these positions will be replacing the Executive Assistant to the City Manager position which has a fully burdened cost of $174,914.24/annually. This will result in a $220,230.22/annual fiscal impact.

The fully burdened cost, including salary and benefits, for one (1) full-time Police Services Officer position is estimated to be $183,359.48/annually.

STAFF REPORT

HOLLISTER CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: March 16, 2026
REPORT # City Manager -2026-10
AGENDA ITEM: ADOPT AN URGENCY ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A FIRE AND BUILDING CODE BOARD OF APPEALS; APPOINTMENT OF MEMBERS TO THE BOARD OF APPEALS; AND ADOPTION OF RULES OF PROCEDURES
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
DEPARTMENT HEAD: Ana Cortez, City Manager
COUNCIL NEXT STEPS:
1) Adopt an Urgency Ordinance establishing the City of Hollister Fire and Building Code Board of Appeals pursuant to the California Fire Code and California Building Code; and
2) Adopt a resolution appointing members and alternates to the Fire and Building Code Board of Appeals; and
3) Adopt a resolution approving the Rules of Procedure for the Fire and Building Code Board of Appeals.

DISCUSSION: The City of Hollister has adopted the California Fire Code (Title 24, Part 9) and the California Building Code (Title 24, Part 2), collectively part of the California Building Standards Code (Ordinance No. 1264).

Section 111 of the California Fire Code requires the establishment of a Board of Appeals to hear and decide appeals of orders, decisions, or determinations made by the Fire Code Official relative to the application and interpretation of the Fire Code.

Section 1.8.8 of the California Building Code requires that a local appeals board or governing body hear and decide appeals of orders, decisions, or determinations made by the Building Official relative to the application and interpretation of the Building Code.

The City has received a time -sensitive appeal request concerning a determination that an automatic fire sprinkler system is required for a residential structure within the City.

The appeal concerns the application and interpretation of adopted Fire and/or Building Code provisions.

At present, the City does not have an established Fire and Building Code Board of Appeals meeting the qualification requirements set forth in the California Fire Code and California Building Code. Absent such a Board, the City lacks a compliant mechanism to hear and decide the pending appeal.

Because the appeal involves life -safety and structural safety determinations, and because delay could impede enforcement of critical safety standards, staff recommends adoption of an urgency ordinance establishing the Fire and Building Code Board of Appeals.

The urgency ordinance is proposed pursuant to Government Code Section 36937(b)

and will take effect immediately upon adoption by a four -fifths (4/5) vote of the City Council.

The proposed Board will:
• Serve as the Board of Appeals required under California Fire Code Section 111; • Serve as the Local Appeals Board required under California Building Code Section 1.8.8;
• Hear appeals concerning application and interpretation of Fire and Building Code provisions;
• Issue written findings and decisions;
• Be composed of qualified members with technical expertise in fire protection, building design, structural engineering, architecture, construction practices, and code enforcement;
• Exclude City employees from membership, consistent with code requirements.

To ensure the Fire and Building Code Board of Appeals is properly constituted and able to immediately perform its duties, staff recommends the City Council appoint qualified members and alternates immediately following adoption of the urgency ordinance.

Consistent with the requirements of the California Fire Code and California Building Code, members of the Board must be qualified by experience and training to pass upon matters pertaining to fire hazards, fire protection systems, building design, structural integrity, construction practices, occupancy classifications, and code interpretation.

Members may include, but are not limited to, individuals with professional experience as licensed architects, professional engineers, fire protection specialists, building officials, contractors, or other construction and life -safety professionals.

In accordance with code requirements, appointed members shall not be employees of the City of Hollister.

Staff recommends appointment of five (5) members and two (2) alternates to ensure adequate technical representation, avoid tie votes, and maintain quorum in the event of recusals or absences. Alternates will serve when regular members are unavailable or must recuse themselves due to a conflict of interest.

The appointed members will serve at the pleasure of the City Council and will be required to comply with applicable ethics, conflict -of -interest, and Brown Act requirements. The City Clerk will administer the oath of office prior to commencement of service.

Appointment of the Board members at this time will allow the City to promptly schedule and hear the pending appeal and ensure ongoing compliance with the appeal requirements of the adopted Fire and Building Codes.

In addition to the adoption of the urgency ordinance and appointment of members, staff recommends the adoption of Rules of Procedure for the Board. The Rules of Procedure establish:

• Filing requirements and timelines;
• Hearing notice procedures;
• Standards for appeal;
• Evidence and presentation protocols;
• Deliberation and decision requirements;
• Written findings issuance;
• Conflict of interest and recusal provisions;
• Stay of enforcement provisions where appropriate.

Adoption of the ordinance, appointment resolution, and rules of procedure will ensure the City has a legally compliant and technically qualified appeals body in place to hear the pending appeal and future Fire and Building Code application and interpretation matters.

Prior to the expiration of this urgency ordinance, staff will bring a similar ordinance forward for a public hearing, introduction, and adoption at a future Council meeting.

FISCAL IMPACT: Administrative costs associated with the Board include staff time for noticing, agenda preparation, minute preparation, and administrative support.

Staff will analyze the costs associated with the appeals process and propose the appropriate fee during the next fee schedule update.

BUILDING CODE AND CLARIFYING ITS RELATIONSHIP TO
HOLLISTER MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 8.32
WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code Sections 36934 and 36937, a city may adopt an urgency ordinance for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety; and
WHEREAS, the City Council may adopt an urgency ordinance with a 4/5 vote of the legislative body; and
WHEREAS, the City of Hollister City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1264 which adopted the California Fire Code (Title 24, Part 9 of the California Code of Regulations) and the California Building Code (Title 24, Part 2 of the California Code of Regulations), collectively part of the California Building Standards Code; and WHEREAS, Section 111 of the California Fire Code requires that a board of appeals be established to hear and decide appeals of orders, decisions, or determinations made by the Fire Code Official relative to the application and interpretation of the Fire Code; and WHEREAS, Section 1.8.8 of the California Building Code requires that a local appeals board or governing body hear and decide appeals of orders, decisions, or determinations made by the Building Official relative to the application and interpretation of the Building Code; and

WHEREAS, the City does not currently have an established Fire and Building Code Board of Appeals meeting the qualification requirements set forth in the California Fire Code and California Building Code; and

Ordinance No. XXXX

WHEREAS, absent immediate establishment of a qualified appeals body, the City lacks a legally compliant mechanism to hear and decide the pending appeal; and WHEREAS, delay in establishing such a Board would prevent timely resolution of the appeal, could delay enforcement of life -safety and structural safety requirements, and could expose the City to procedural legal challenges; and WHEREAS, the installation and enforcement of required fire protection systems directly affects the protection of life and property within the City; and WHEREAS, the immediate establishment of a Fire and Building Code Board of Appeals is therefore necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety.

STAFF REPORT

HOLLISTER CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: March 16, 2026
REPORT # Public Works -2026-11
AGENDA ITEM: STORMWATER INFORMATIONAL PRESENTATION
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
DEPARTMENT HEAD: Javier Hernandez, Public Works Director COUNCIL NEXT STEPS: Accept presentation.

DISCUSSION:

The City of Hollister was awarded a $5.2 million grant from the State Water Resources Control Board in 2022 for the Bridge Road Stormwater Outfall, which required a minimum of $5.2 million in matching funds. As part of the grant, the City will also be undertaking an educational campaign to increase community awareness about stormwater management, water quality protection, and groundwater recharge.

This presentation represents an initial step in that effort and will provide the community with an overview of the projects and the benefits they will bring. The educational effort will help residents better understand how storm water moves through the City's drainage system, the impacts that trash, debris, and pollutants can have on local waterways, and how storm water infrastructure improvements help protect the San Benito River and the City's groundwater basin. Increasing community awareness also encourages responsible disposal of trash and pollutants, helping reduce contamination in the stormwater system and improving the overall health of local waterways and habitats.

The City is investing in stormwater upgrades at the Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plant (IWTP) to qualify for these matching funds. These two projects are a demonstration in how the City of Hollister is leading the way in storm water management and are required to meet storm water regulations being enforced by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. Rather than viewing storm water only as a nuisance due to threats posed by flooding or pollutants in storm water, the City found a way to turn storm water into a resource to combat droughts and the effects of climate change, along with protecting our precious waterways.

Both projects were bid in 2025 and are nearing the end of construction. When construction is completed, the following benefits will be achieved:
• IWTP Site — water from the Apricot Lane Outfall will go through a trash capture system where trash, debris, and pollutants will be removed. Then the cleaner water will be diverted to Pond II at the IWTP site. This water will then be pumped to one of the four percolation ponds, where the water will percolate into the City's groundwater basin, replenishing the groundwater basin instead of it going out the San Benito River, which flows to the ocean.

• IWTP Site — water from the South Street watershed will continue to go to the IWTP where it will also ultimately reach the percolation ponds for infiltration into the groundwater basin.
• Bridge Road Outfall — A large trash capture system is being installed where trash, debris, and pollutants will be removed before continuing to the outfall and discharged to the San Benito River. This trash capture system will help protect the San Benito River flora and fauna from the trash, debris, and pollutants that plague the City's storm water collection system.

The presentation will provide an overview of the two projects and detail the benefits they will bring to the community while also introducing the City's broader effort to help residents better understand the role storm water infrastructure plays in protecting water quality, supporting groundwater recharge, reducing pollution in local waterways, and strengthening the City's long-term water sustainability efforts.

STAFF REPORT

HOLLISTER CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: March 16, 2026
REPORT # Community Development -2026-13
AGENDA ITEM: ANNUAL REPORT ON THE HOLLISTER SUCCESSOR AGENCY LOW AND MODERATE INCOME HOUSING ASSET FUND FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024- 2025
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
DEPARTMENT HEAD: Rod Powell, Community Development Director/Assistant City Manager
COUNCIL NEXT STEPS: Accept the annual report on the Low Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund (LMIHAF) and direct staff to submit to Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation and post the report on the City's website.

DISCUSSION:

In 2011, in response to State budget deficits, the State Legislature approved legislation that dissolved all Redevelopment Agencies. With the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency (RDA), the Governor signed Abx1 26 (the "Dissolution Act") on June 28, 2011, requiring the creation of Successor Agencies to oversee the dissolution process and manage the LMIHAF.

On January 9, 2012, the Hollister City Council adopted Resolution No. 2012-06, electing to retain its housing assets, continue to enforce associated housing covenants and restrictions, and exercise all other rights, powers, duties, and obligations of the former RDA related to the Low- and Moderate -Income Housing Fund (LMIHF). In fulfillment of its obligations, the City currently serves as the Successor Agency for the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Hollister.

California State Health and Safety Code (HSC) §34176.1 requires each housing Successor Agency to a former RDA to prepare an annual report regarding the LMIHF of the former RDA and completion of an independent audit of the fund. Notably, the City is actively engaged in several past year audits and will provide a copy of the applicable year immediately upon completion. Additionally, HSC §34176.1(f) requires the submittal of an annual report documenting activities involving the housing assets of the former RDA to the Successor Agency to ensure that the funds are expended in accordance with the Dissolution Act.

In Fiscal Year, 2024-2025 the City of Hollister provided continued rental assistance to ten very -low income senior apartments at Prospect Villa Senior Apartments in the amount of $16,768.00. Additionally, we received repayment for one rehabilitation loan and continued to monitor over 140 deferred payment loans with the City of Hollister. The balance of the Low Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund is $1.2M. The estimated value of loans with forgivable and or deferred payments is $15M.

The attached annual report summarizes the City's compliance with spending and

reporting requirements for the Fiscal Year 2024-2025. In accordance with State Law, this report is presented separately but will also be included in the City's submission of its General Plan Annual Progress Report to the Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation, formerly known as the Governor's Office of Planning and Research.

FISCAL IMPACT: None
PREVIOUS COUNCIL OR COMMISSION ACTION: On March 17, 2025 Council received the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2023- 2024 and directed its submission to the State.

CEQA: Exempt D.1 The informational report does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and review under CEQA is not required.

Furthermore, no Council action is required.

CITY OF HOLLISTER HOUSING SUCCESSOR ANNUAL REPORT REGARDING THE LOW AND MODERATE INCOME HOUSING ASSET FUND FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024- 2025 PURSUANT TO HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE SECTION 34176.1(f)

INTRODUCTION
In 1945, the California Legislature enacted the Community Redevelopment Act to assist local governments in eliminating blight through development, reconstruction, and rehabilitation of residential, commercial, industrial, and retail districts. The Act gave cities and counties the authority to establish redevelopment agencies (RDAs or agencies). As part of the 2011 Budget Act, and to protect funding for core public services at the local level, the Legislature approved the dissolution of the state's 400 plus RDAs. After a period of litigation, RDAs were officially dissolved as of February 1, 2012. As a result of the elimination of the RDAs and to help facilitate the wind -down process at the local level, Successor Agencies were established to manage redevelopment projects currently underway, make payments on enforceable obligations, and dispose of redevelopment assets and properties.

The City of Hollister ("City") is the housing successor agency to the former Hollister Redevelopment Agency ("Agency"). The majority of the City's housing assets were transferred from the former Agency when it dissolved pursuant to the Dissolution Act in 2012 (enacted by Assembly Bills x126 and subsequent legislation). With the dissolution, the former Agency's affordable housing rights, powers, assets, liabilities, duties, and obligations, excluding any amounts in the Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund, were transferred to the City.

This City of Hollister Housing Successor Annual Report (Report) has been prepared pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Sections 34176.1(f). This document reports on Fiscal Year ("FY") 2024-25 housing successor finances and activities related to the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund (LMIHAF) as required by law.

The purpose of this Report is to provide the City Council in its capacity as the Housing Successor to the former City of Hollister Redevelopment Agency with an annual report on the housing assets and activities of the Housing Successor under Part 1.85, Division 24 of the California Health and Safety Code, in particular sections 34176 and 3416.1 (Dissolution Law).

Housing successor agencies must also conduct an independent financial audit of the Housing Asset Fund within six months after the end of each fiscal year, which may be included in the independent financial audit of the host jurisdiction. Additionally, the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) includes an audit of the Housing Asset Fund as part of the Housing Capital Projects Fund. The following Report is based upon 3

information prepared by the City of Hollister staff. The information in the Report will be used within the independent financial audit of the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund for Fiscal year 2024-2025 when the City of Hollister Finance Department completes such task. The City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for FY 2024-25 is incomplete and the Finance Division's project completion date is unknown. When completed and available the report will be available on the City's website. This Report conforms with and is organized into Sections 1 through 13 pursuant to Section 34176.1 (f) of the Dissolution Law.

6. Description of transfers of Low Moderate Income Housing Funds (LMIHAF) to other Housing Successor's. (§34176.1 (f) (6): The City of Hollister did not make any LMIHAF transfers to other Housing Successor(s) under §34176.1 (c) (2) during the Fiscal Year.

7. Description of any project that received property tax on the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule during FY 2024/25 (§34176.1 (f) (7): The former City of Hollister Redevelopment Agency entered into an agreement with Hollister Investment Group in 2010 to provide tenant based rental assist to ten very -low income senior apartments at the Prospect Villa Senior Apartments, until the end of 2019, in the amount of $50,000 per year. The Recognized Obligations Payment Schedule (ROPS) for Prospect Villa ended in 2019 with the completion of the agreement. Due to complex issues surrounding COVID-19 staff continued to provide assistance through Fiscal Year 2021-22. In 2022, Staff completed Resolution 2022-02 for a supplemental appropriation to continue to provide rental assistance in the amount not to exceed $250,000. This agreement is not considered a ROPS. The City of Hollister expended $16,768.00 in rental assistance in 2024/25. Since the 2022 appropriation Hollister Investment Group has used approximately $40,779 in assistance.

8. Status of real property acquired by the former RDA (§34176.1 (f)(8):
a. Prior to 2/1/2012: The property at 1191 Sunnyslope Road was developed for transitional housing with assistance from the Low Moderate Income Housing Funds of the former Hollister Redevelopment Agency and continues to be leased to the Emmaus House with rental restrictions for said use. It has come to staff's attention that the property inadvertently was not transferred from the City of Hollister to the Hollister Redevelopment Agency in 1996. It is possible the property is owned by the City of Hollister and should not be considered a housing asset of the former City of Hollister RDA.
b. After 2/1/2012: Not applicable — none purchased.

9. Description of outstanding obligations for replacement housing pursuant to Health and Safety Code §33413 (§34176.1 (f)(9): Replacement Housing:

According to the draft 2009-2014 Implementation Plan for the former Hollister Redevelopment Agency (RDA), no Section 33413(a) replacement housing obligations were transferred to the Housing Successor. The Hollister RDA was unable to adopt the update to the draft plan in 2011 due to prohibitions in the Dissolution Act and 5

Voluntary Program Act. The draft 2009-2014 and 2005-2009 Implementation Plans did not identify a need for replacement housing and are posted on the City's website at htto://hollister.ca.gov/government/city-departments/development- services/successor-agency.

Inclusionary/Production Housing: Not applicable. According to the draft 2009- 2014 Implementation Plan for the former Hollister Redevelopment Agency (RDA), no Section 33413(b) inclusionary/production housing obligations were transferred to the Housing Successor. The Hollister RDA was unable to adopt the update to the draft plan in 2011 due to prohibitions in the Dissolution Act and Voluntary Program Act. The draft 2009-2014 and 2005-2009 Implementation Plans are posted on the City's website at http://hollister.ca.gov/government/city-departments/development- services/successor-agency.

Excess Surplus Low Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund (LMIHAF)_(§34176.1 (f)(12): Potential Surplus — Excess Surplus is defined in Section 34176.1(d) as an unencumbered amount the account that exceeds the greater of one million dollars ($1,000,000) or the aggregate amount deposited into the account during the Housing Successor's preceding four Fiscal Years, whichever is greater. Excess surplus calculations were once performed by redevelopment agencies on an annual basis. The excess surplus calculations are intended to ensure funds are expended to benefit low- income households in an expeditious manner. Generally speaking, funds should be encumbered (formally dedicated to a project through an executed agreement) within four years of receipt. SB 341 reinstated this calculation for housing successors. Since the dissolvent of Redevelopment Agency in 2012, the excess surplus test became effective in fiscal year ending in 2013. The first excess surplus test was completed in fiscal year 2015/2016 to review the four previous years of deposits.

To complete the excess surplus calculation the first step is to determine the fund balance at the end of the fiscal year. Next, add the previous four years of deposits.

Then compare the value of the previous four years of deposits to the current fund balance. If the number of deposits are in excess of $1 million deduct the total previous four years of deposits from the current fund balance to determine the excess surplus.

If the deposits are less than $1 million and the current fund balance is greater than the deposits deduct $1 million from the current fund balance to determine the excess surplus.

Reviewing the table below, the fund balance of $1,258,712 is more than the sum of deposits made in the previous four fiscal years. So, the amount greater than $1 million, $258,712, is the current excess surplus. The City of Hollister Housing Successor has had an excess surplus beginning with fiscal year 2015/16. As stated in state law, if the City of Hollister Housing Successor does not encumber the excess surplus within three fiscal years, by the end of FY 2019/20, the excess surplus funds will be transferred to the Community Development Department for expenditure pursuant to the Multi -family Housing Program or the Joe Serna, Jr. Farmworker Housing Grant Program. However, currently, the City of Hollister Housing Successor does not have any executed agreements, but in fiscal year 2025/26 the City of Hollister Housing Successor seeks to submit a request for proposal/qualification (RFP/Q) to fund a future affordable housing project. There are two current development areas that are seeking to construct rental units for very low and low-income that may benefit from additional funding to support the project. The projected surplus by the end of FY 2025/26 could be less than $1,000,000 if annual administrative and monitoring costs average about $350,000 per 7

year or if a loan is awarded through the RFP/Q process. The fund balance will continue to be monitored in Fiscal Year 2025/26 to assure there is not an excess surplus.

2014-2019 INCOME EXPENDITURE PROPORTIONALITY COMPLIANCE REVIEW
Expenditures from the Housing Asset Fund shall be limited to lower income households earning 80% or less of the AMI. In each five-year compliance period, not less than 30% of expenditures must be on development of rental housing affordable to households earning 30% or less of the AMI and not more than 20% of the expenditures must be on development of housing for households earning between 60% and 80% of the AMI. Failure to comply with the extremely low-income requirement in any five-year compliance period will result in the City having to ensure that 50% of remaining funds be spent on development extremely low-income rental units until in compliance. If the City exceeds the expenditure limit for households earning between 60% and 80% of the AMI in any five-year reporting period, it will not be allowed to expend any funds on these income categories until in compliance.

The first five-year compliance period began on January 1, 2014 (when SB 341 became 11

effective) and ended on June 30, 2019. In the first compliance period, 2014-2019, the City of Hollister Housing Successor approved agreements in the amount of $1,117,000 to support extremely low-income rental projects. In the first compliance period, 2014-2019, the Housing Successor met all compliance requirements. The second, and current five- year, compliance period is July 1, 2019, to June 30, 2024. In the second compliance period the City of Hollister did approve a resolution to continue funding Prospect Villa apartments in the amount of $250,000. No additional affordable housing development -related expenditures were made, so five-year compliance period income targets do not apply and the City of Hollister is in compliance. City of Hollister will ensure all future funded projects meet the compliance requirements.

Note: Housing successors must report expenditures by category each year, but compliance with income proportionality limits is measured every five years. For example, a housing successor could spend all its funds in a single year on households earning between 60% and 80% AMI, as long as it was 20% or less of the total expenditures during the five-year compliance period. 12

City of Hollister 2025 General Plan Annual Progress Report

Introduction
Government Code Sections 65400 and 65700 mandate that all cities and counties submit an annual report on the status of the General Plan and progress in its implementation to their legislative bodies, the Governor's Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI) and the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) by April 1st of each year.

The annual progress report (APR) provides local legislative bodies and the public with information regarding the implementation of the General Plan for their city or county. The APR also informs the public of the progress in meetings the community's goals.

In addition to this General Plan APR, all jurisdictions must additionally prepare and submit a Housing Element APR to both LCI and HCD. The Housing Element APR provides informational reporting on housing information including progress on meeting the jurisdiction's share of regional housing needs, rezoning activities, and actions taken toward completing housing element programs.

The General Plan APR allows LCI to identify statewide trends in land use decision -making and how local planning and development activities relate to statewide planning goals and policies. APRs may also be used to inform future modifications to LCI's General Plan Guidelines. Both the General Plan and Housing Element APRs are used by the State Offices to track progress of local jurisdictions' implementation of their General Plan, Housing Element, and is used as an eligibility threshold requirement for several State housing funding programs.

Date of Acceptance of the APR
The City of Hollister 2025 General Plan Annual Progress Report is anticipated to be reviewed and accepted by the City Council at the regular City Council meeting of March 16, 2026.

Date of Last Update to the City of Hollister General Plan The City of Hollister completed a comprehensive update to the 1995-2005 General Plan when it adopted the 2005-2023 General Plan (Current General Plan) in December of 2005. The update was prepared in compliance with the Office of Planning and Research General Plan Guidelines. In accordance with State requirements, the City of Hollister General Plan Housing Element was amended in 2009 for the 2009-2014 Housing Element Cycle, and again in April of 2016 for the 2015-2023 5th Cycle. As required by Section 65302)(d)(3) and (g)(2) of the Government Code, the City of Hollister Natural Resources, Health and Safety, and Land Use and Community Design Elements were concurrently amended. The amendments provide more accurate mapping of flood hazard areas (including Flood Awareness Protection Areas) as well as liquefaction and landslide hazards. The amendments also added programs and policies related to development of a local hazard mitigation plan and avoidance of flood hazard areas for the establishment of residential and public facilities.

The City of Hollister was working on a comprehensive update to the existing 2005-2023 General Plan throughout 2025. On December 3, 2024, the City Council approved Resolution 2024-201 adopting the 2040 General Plan. On January 21, 2025 a referendum petition was filed against the adoption of Resolution 2024-201. In response, on March 3, 2025 the City Council repealed Resolution 2024-201, rescinding the adoption of the 2040 General Plan. The City Council authorized a contract to prepare a

City of Hollister 2025 General Plan Annual Progress Report

revision to the 2040 General Plan, Climate Action Plan, and environmental analysis on June 3, 2025. This amendment is underway and the revised 2040 General Plan is anticipated to be adopted in April 2026.

Housing Element Implementation Status
The City of Hollister received comments on the draft 6th Cycle Housing Element from HCD in January 2025.

Due to the repeal of the 2040 General Plan in March 2025 following a referendum petition that was filed in January 2025, direction was needed on the General Plan in order for the City to subsequently proceed with addressing the comments on the Housing Element from HCD. The 6th Cycle Housing Element that was reviewed by HCD had been prepared to be consistent with the 2040 General Plan and the Environmental Impact Report that was certified for the General Plan.

In June 2025, the City Council authorized a contract and direction for the revision of the 2040 General Plan. Based upon the General Plan direction, a revision for the contract and necessary revisions to the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update was made and executed. A revised draft Housing Element was resubmitted to HCD in December 2025 for further review.

- You were not allocated Acutely Low -Income and Extremely Low -Income RHNA targets, therefore the allocations in Field 1 are listed as "0" - If you wish to set your own targets in these income categories for informational purposes, contact HCD staff at [email protected]. - All Acutely Low -Income and Extremely Low -Income units reported during the cycle are counted towards Very -Low Income RHNA progress *For years prior to 2025, data on deed -restricted vs. non -deed restricted Extremely Low -Income units is approximated from whether the projects reported any deed -restricted Very Low -Income Units.
