ITEM TITLE: 2023 GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT (0620-90) ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:
Community Development
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Government Code Sections 65400 and 65700 mandate that all cities and counties submit an annual progress report (APR) on the status of the General Plan (GP), including its Housing Element, and report the progress of its implementation to their legislative bodies, the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and the Housing and Community Development (HCD) by April 1 of each year. The Housing Element APR submitted to HCD includes the City’s progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs (RHNA), while the General Plan APR submitted to OPR informs the public of the progress in meeting the community’s goals and provides for the annual assessment of the General Plan’s implementation strategies and their effectiveness in guiding orderly growth and development, preservation and conservation of open-space land and natural resources, and the efficient expenditure of public funds relating to the subjects addressed in the GP.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council receive the 2023 annual progress report.
OPTIONS:
In addition to receiving this report and adopting staff’s recommendations, the City Council can:
Not receive the 2023 annual progress report (APR) and provide further direction to staff to make alterations or changes to the submitted General Plan APR and Housing Element APR; or
Request additional information
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
Government Code Sections 65400 and 65700 mandate that all cities and counties submit an annual progress report (APR) on the status of the General Plan (GP) and progress in its implementation to their legislative bodies, the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and the Housing and Community Development (HCD) by April 1 of each year.
The Housing and Community Development (HCD) Annual Progress Report (APR) includes the City’s progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs (RHNA), including the need for extremely low-income households and local efforts to remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing.
The Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) APR specifically informs the public of the City’s progress in meeting the community’s overall goals and provides local legislative bodies and

the public with information to assess how the General Plan was implemented during the 12-month reporting period. Additionally, it summarizes planning activities for all required and optional elements included in the city’s General Plan including Circulation (Mobility) Element, Conservation and Open Space Element, Design Element (optional), Facilities and Services Element (optional), Housing Element, Land Use Element, Noise Element, Parks, Recreation and Access Element (optional), and Safety Element. Effectively, the report offers the information necessary to help evaluate the effectiveness of the General Plan as a guide for orderly growth and development, preservation and conservation of open-space, land and natural resources, and the efficient expenditure of public funds.
The General Plan is the City’s official policy that guides decisions affecting future physical development and change within the City. The current General Plan/Local Coastal Program was adopted on October 19, 1994, after Proposition P was passed as a voter initiative in 1992 that downzoned and de-intensified development standards. The General Plan contains the seven State-required elements, and three optional elements as follows: Circulation (Mobility) Element, Conservation and Open Space Element, Design Element (optional), Facilities and Services Element (optional), Housing Element, Land Use Element, Noise Element, Parks, Recreation and Access Element (optional), and Safety Element.
Significant changes have occurred in state planning issues and requirements since the 1994 document was adopted. Policies that anticipated a decreased military presence in the early 1990’s were rendered inapplicable after the terrorist attack in 2001 where an expansion of military activities has taken place in our community. School populations that now are trending downward prompts the need to have old policies changed that had discussed the need for increased school facilities in the early 1990’s when school attendance increased.
The passage of AB 32 (the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006) had a significant impact on planning priorities by raising awareness of the issue of climate change and providing requirements and programs to address it. The need to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions now calls for less reliance on the use of fossil-fueled automobiles and its need for parking and roadway use.
State policies and programs now encourage alternative mobility modes such as walking, bicycling, and transit use. With Imperial Beach being a coastal city, sea level rise (SLR) raised the awareness that policies related to coastal uses and adaptation strategies had to be examined. A sea level rise study was completed in 2016 (MF 1025) to inform the City on the need to translate those findings into new policies that would make Imperial Beach more resilient in the face of climate change. The City continues to prioritize adaptation planning efforts by focusing on changing its existing policies to address these new issues. With Coastal Commission funding, the City initiated (MF 1234) its General Plan/ Local Coastal Program (GP/LCP) to respond to the newer state requirements that mandate cities to address climate change. While this GP/LCP update is still in progress, the Mobility Element, Climate Action Plan (CAP), and Negative Declaration for the 2018 RIB GP/LCP were adopted by the City Council on July 17, 2019.
Additionally, in response to the housing crisis in California, numerous bills to facilitate and incentivize the development of new housing have been passed since 2017. These state laws have shifted local planning priorities placing significant emphasis on facilitating the construction of new housing units. The city has prioritized increasing the City’s housing stock by drafting and adopting ordinances to meet state requirements and by updating the Housing Element. The 2021 – 2029 Sixth Cycle Housing Element was adopted by the City Council on June 16, 2021 and certified by the California Housing and Community Development (HCD) Department on September 20, 2021.

PROJECT EVALUATION:
Rather than reporting on the implementation of the General Plan that is 25 years old, the report notes that many elements and policies are being revised with the current 2018 Resilient Imperial Beach (2018 RIB) GP/LCP update project in order to comply with new state requirements that have been enacted since the adoption of the current 1994 General Plan/Local Coastal Program and with new criteria required by SANDAG, such as the adoption of a Complete Streets policy and a Climate Action Plan (CAP) in order to compete for grants. The Mobility Element, CAP, and Negative Declaration for the 2018 RIB GP/LCP was adopted by the City Council on July 17, 2019.
The 2021 – 2029 Sixth Cycle Housing Element was adopted by the City Council on June 16, 2021, and certified by the California Housing and Community Development (HCD) Department on September 20, 2021.

INTRODUCTION
Government Code Sections 65400 and 65700 mandate that all cities and counties provide, by April 1 of each year, an annual report to their legislative bodies, the Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on the status of the General Plan and progress in its implementation. The Annual Progress Report (APR) includes the City’s progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs (RHNA), including the need for extremely low-income households and local efforts to remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing. The General Plan Annual Progress Report (GP APR) informs the public of the progress in meeting the community’s goals and provides for the annual assessment of the General Plan’s implementation strategies and their effectiveness in guiding orderly growth and development, preservation and conservation of openspace land and natural resources, and the efficient expenditure of public funds relating to the subjects addressed in the general plan. The housing element portion of the annual report must include a section that describes the actions taken by the local government towards completion of the programs and status of the local government’s compliance with the deadlines in its housing element. The General Plan APR allows OPR 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 inform future modifications to OPR’s General Plan Guidelines. In addition, OPR can track progress on a local jurisdiction's comprehensive General Plan update using the information provided in the APR. Similarly, the HE APR allows HCD to track the progress of the implementation of a jurisdiction’s Housing Element and requires its submission as a threshold requirement for several State housing funding programs.
The General Plan is the City’s official policy that guides decisions affecting future physical development and change within the City. The current General Plan/Local Coastal Program was adopted on October 19, 1994, after Proposition P was passed as a voter initiative in 1992 that downzoned and de-intensified development standards. The General Plan contains the seven State-required elements, and three optional elements as follows: Circulation (Mobility) Element, Conservation and Open Space Element, Design Element (optional), Facilities and Services Element (optional), Housing Element, Land Use Element, Noise Element, Parks, Recreation and Access Element (optional), and Safety Element.
Significant changes have occurred in state planning issues and requirements since the 1994 document was adopted. Policies that anticipated a decreased military presence in the early 1990’s were rendered inapplicable after the terrorist attack in 2001 where an expansion of military activities has taken place in our community.

the City initiated (MF 1234) its General Plan/ Local Coastal Program (GP/LCP) to respond to the newer state requirements that mandate cities to address climate change. While this GP/LCP update is still in progress, the Mobility Element, Climate Action Plan (CAP), and Negative Declaration for the 2018 RIB GP/LCP were adopted by the City Council on July 17, 2019.
Additionally, starting in 2017 and continuing to date, the passage of numerous housing bills have further impacted planning priorities placing a significant emphasis on addressing the housing shortage by amending state law to facilitate and incentivize the development of dwelling units to increase the housing supply throughout the state. The city has prioritized the facilitation of increasing the City’s housing stock by drafting and adopting ordinances to meet state requirements and by updating the Housing Element. The 2021 – 2029 Sixth Cycle Housing Element was adopted by the City Council on June 16, 2021 and certified by the California Housing and Community Development (HCD) Department on September 20, 2021.
GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
Circulation (Mobility) Element. To address the requirements of AB 1358 (The Complete Streets Act of 2008) the Circulation Element was revised and retitled the Mobility Element. The Mobility Element was adopted by the City Council on July 17, 2019. The Imperial Beach Boulevard Enhancement Project completed construction in accordance with the amendment to both the Circulation Element (MF 1288) that was approved by the City Council and certified by the Coastal Commission as well as the adopted Mobility Element. The IB Blvd. enhancement project incorporated green infrastructure, which provides the two-fold benefit of both mitigating the production of Green House Gas emissions and providing extra resilience against the effects of global warming in the City. The project scope included the reconstruction of the bulk of Imperial Beach Boulevard between Seacoast Drive and 14th Street, including the narrowing and reallocation of vehicle lanes to promote traffic calming and installation of Class II Bike Lanes, controlled crosswalks with flashing beacons, ADA compliant pedestrian ramps, additional amenities to bus stops, low impact development planters, wider sidewalks, improved aesthetic features along the Tijuana Estuary, and a unified design theme to enhance the user experience.
To further implement the complete streets policies of the Mobility Element, the city obtained an Active Transportation Program grant in 2021 to improve the 9th Street corridor with ADA improvements, bicycle lanes, and green infrastructure and continued outreach efforts through 2023 to obtain feedback on the design of the project. Most recently, in 2023, the city received $23 million from the California Transportation Commission 2023 Active Transportation Program for the Palm Avenue Complete Multimodal Corridor and initiated the RFP process for 100% engineering design drawings The project includes pedestrian and bicyclist safety improvements along a six-lane state highway through the urban core of Imperial Beach. Lastly, in 2022 the City was awarded a Clean California Local Grant to support both the design and the construction phase of the 10th Streetscape Enhancements Project which will provide a missing accessible sidewalk connection between Donax Avenue and Palm Avenue including pedestrian safety features like curb extensions and enhanced pedestrian crossings. In 2023, the designs and bid documents for this project were finalized.
Conservation and Open Space Element. Virtually all of the valuable habitat areas in Imperial Beach are protected through existing open space zoning and habitat setback requirements.
These areas, however, are threatened with future sea level rise and climate change. A Climate Understanding and Resiliency in the River Valley (CURRV) study was done for the Tijuana River Valley to assess its vulnerabilities and identify adaptation strategies from its impacts. These elements are being revised as part of the current LCP amendment process to be renamed “Conservation and Ecotourism” upon adoption.

Design Element This element is being revised as part of the current LCP amendment process.
Facilities and Services Element. Several changes since 1994 have occurred that prompted the need to revise this element as part of the current LCP amendment process.
Housing Element The 2021 – 2029 Sixth Cycle Housing Element was adopted by the City Council on June 16, 2021, and certified by the California Housing and Community Development (HCD) Department on September 20, 2021. In 2022, the City the adopted an ordinance to provide regulations concerning urban lot split subdivisions and two-unit residential developments which resulted in one application in 2022 and two applications in 2023. In 2023, the City updated its Density Bonus Ordinance to reflect changes in state law and adopted an ordinance to permit permanent supportive housing, by-right house, and low barrier navigation centers. In January 2017, Assembly Bill 686 (AB 686) introduced an obligation to affirmatively further fair housing (AFFH) into California state law. AB 686 defined “affirmatively further fair housing” to mean “taking meaningful actions, in addition to combat discrimination, that overcome patterns of segregation and foster inclusive communities free from barriers that restrict access to opportunity” for persons of color, persons with disabilities, and other protected classes. The Bill added an assessment of fair housing to the Housing Element which includes the following components: a summary of fair housing issues and assessment of the City’s fair housing enforcement and outreach capacity; an analysis of segregation patterns and disparities in access to opportunities, an assessment of contributing factors, and an identification of fair housing goals and actions. In 2021, the City hired a Housing Specialist whose role includes expanding the outreach efforts by the City and implementing fair housing goals and actions. In 2023, under the direction of the Housing Specialist, the city held two public housing panels aimed towards educating landlords and tenants as to the rights of each party under the Tenant Protection Act of 2019 and the Fair Housing Act.
Also discussed at the presentations were various habitability issues, and a discussion on leases focusing on the interpretation of the various clauses and terms found in standardized rental agreements. Additionally, through a grant provided by the Regional Task Force on Homelessness San Diego, the City hired a Community Outreach Worker to further implement Housing Element programs related to the unsheltered population and those at risk of becoming unsheltered.
Land Use Element. This element is under revision with the LCP Update project.
Noise Element. Imperial Beach had been impacted with helicopter noise from the Naval Outlying Landing Field (NOLF) for decades. When the San Diego County Regional Airport Land Use Commission (created in 2003) was charged with updating the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) for all airports in San Diego County, an updated Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) study was released in 2012 by the US Navy for Naval Air Station North Island (NASNI) and Naval Outlying Land Field Imperial Beach (NOLF-IB). This study was incorporated into the ALUCP for Imperial Beach and the Airport Authority adopted the ALUCP on October 15, 2015.
Changes to the GP/LCP to provide overflight notification will be required of the City and is programmed to be updated. There were not sufficient grant funds to conduct a separate noise study for local roadways.
Parks, Recreation and Access Element. This element is being revised as part of the current LCP amendment process. Funds allocated to municipalities in 2021 by American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to address the local impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are being utilized to update existing parks and recreation facilities throughout the city. In 2023, the Design Review Board reviewed a design for City’s Sports Park Community Recreation Center project, which was approved by the City Council earlier this year. The Sports Park improvement project includes
2023 Imperial Beach General Plan Annual Progress Report Page 6 of 8 C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\1516894393\1516894393,,,Attachment 1 - 2023 Imperial Beach General Plan APR.docx
upgrades to the exterior including new paint, new siding on the western elevation, and inclusion of a new mural. Additionally, the project will complete various necessary repairs and upgrades integral to the facility’s ability to operate including ADA requirements, HVAC improvements, building safety improvements, and enhancements to increase available recreational opportunities. Additional projects that were funded by ARPA and initiated in 2023 include renovating the Veteran’s Park sports field and improving the City’s Senior Center, which is also located within Veteran’s Park. The renovations for the sports park field include the installation of new turf, lighting, fencing, trees, and a new walking path around the field. The scope of work for the Senior Center improvements includes a new ADA ramp, new lighting, and renovating a community room within the senior center.
Safety Element. This element is being revised as part of the current LCP amendment process to address the requirements of SB 379 (Multi-jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan).
COMPLIANCE WITH OPR GUIDELINES. The 2017 General Plan Guidelines provides local jurisdictions with guidance on addressing new issues such as environmental justice considerations, climate change/sea level rise impacts, collaborative planning with the military lands and facilities, and consultation with Native American tribes. The current 1994 GP/LCP is out of compliance with the 2017 General Plan Guidelines which is the reason for undertaking the effort that is currently underway. The City reached out to environmental justice organizations, Navy Region Southwest, and Native American tribes requesting their participation in community meetings and offer comments on the proposed LCP amendments. Although, these groups did not attend City meetings, the US Navy did serve on the steering committee during the sea level rise studies.
PLANNING PRIORITIES.
Priorities for land use decision making that have been established by the local legislative body include the 2018 Resilient Imperial Beach (RIB) update to the GP/LCP to address climate change/sea level rise impacts and affordable housing requirements.
Additionally, in 2022, in a partnership with San Diego State University’s Social Policy Institute (SDSU SPI), the city initiated the development of an Age Friendly Community Plan that assessed existing policies and conducted in depth community engagement and outreach to develop a plan that ensures the City is developing in a manner that enables the community to age well. In 2023, the city completed and adopted an Age-Friendly Action Plan and formally joined the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) Network of Age-Friendly Communities.
Most recently, the city initiated the National Coastal Resilience Fund Grant funded project to develop the Imperial Beach Community Resilience Plan. In these initial stages, staff have conducted research related to historical permitting for coastal structures, analysis of sea-level rise projections, completed an aerial survey of the city’s coastal areas, and conducted outreach within the community to obtain feedback on aspects of government, economy, environment, and community that would make Imperial Beach resilient and thriving. Through data collection and community outreach activities, staff was able to develop a constraints and opportunities analysis, which have informed the development of adaptation strategies for the City’s coastal areas that are currently experiencing flooding impacts and could be subject to exacerbated flooding impacts in the future should no action be taken.
PLANNING PROPOSALS.
Goals, policies, objectives, standards or other plan proposals that need to be amended include the 2018 Resilient Imperial Beach (RIB) update to the GP/LCP, originally funded by a grant from
2023 Imperial Beach General Plan Annual Progress Report Page 7 of 8 C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\1516894393\1516894393,,,Attachment 1 - 2023 Imperial Beach General Plan APR.docx
the Coastal Commission (MF 1234) to address climate change/sea level rise impacts.
OTHER PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS.
Major Developments. Several major developments, including affordable housing projects, received entitlements or a preliminary review in 2023. The city approved two Senate Bill 9 lot split and two-unit housing development applications. Additionally, staff performed a preliminary review for three new major developments, including a new mixed-use building with 6 new residential units and ground floor commercial space, a new proposed 4-story mixed use building including an 83-guestroom hotel and ground floor commercial space, and a new proposed 45-unit affordable housing project with a potential city park dedication.
Intergovernmental Coordination. The City collaborated with the Sweetwater Union High School district to establish an MOU for a newly constructed pool, providing access to the facility to the greater community. The city coordinated with the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) to allow for the improvement of existing bus stops throughout the city as well as enhanced lighting at Pier Plaza. The city also collaborated with the Port of San Diego to initiate planning efforts for proposed improvements to the pier. To date, the city continues to coordinate with other agencies such as SANDAG to implement transportation corridor enhancements and on its regional shoreline management program.
Infill development, reuse, and redevelopment. Imperial Beach is a built-out city, and any new proposed projects are typically considered infill and redevelopment. Although redevelopment funds through AB 26 were lost, commercial redevelopment and affordable housing projects are being proposed.
Environmental Resource Protection. The valuable environmental habitat in Imperial Beach is designated Open Space and is protected in the Tijuana River Valley by the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve. The City’s beaches have always been regarded as valuable environmental and economic resources. These resources are threatened by climate change, sea level rise, and cross-border pollution. In light of the existing threat to the environment and to public health and safety within the United States as a result of the river and ocean pollution in the San Diego-Tijuana border region, both the United States and Mexico signed Treaty 283 agreeing to a comprehensive solution for the Tijuana River. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) worked with the City of Imperial Beach and other stakeholders in the Tijuana River Valley and finalized a comprehensive plan to solve the pollution crisis in the Tijuana River. The first phase of improvements was memorialized in a binational US and Mexico agreement (Treaty Minute 283) at a signing ceremony on August 18, 2022. The EPA is currently in the development of a Programmatic EIR that identifies the Tijuana River Comprehensive Solution as the preferred list of actions that are necessary to solve the pollution crisis in the Tijuana River. On June 2023, the US Environmental Protection Agency and US Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission (USIBWC) signed a Record of Decision (ROD) to finalize the environmental review phase of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The ROD finalizes a Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) released in November 2022, which describes the highpriority wastewater collection and treatment facilities needed in the border area. The PEIS specifically identifies ten projects that are part of the EPA’s comprehensive infrastructure solution to solve the Tijuana River pollution crises.The City of Imperial Beach, City of San Diego, and County of San Diego have all declared a state of local emergency related to the pollution crises.
The County of San Diego has also declared a state of public health emergency for the Tijuana River Valley.

Economic development. In 2005, an Ecotourism study was commissioned by the City to identify what markets Imperial Beach could realistically capture in order to prosper. The study recommended that the City should focus on recreational tourism and ecotourism and that public and private infrastructure (hotels and restaurants) be pursued to accommodate this market niche.
Additionally, reduction in zoning requirements were enacted to encourage commercial development. The City has since issued building permits or entitlements for various developments that would stimulate economic development within the City. In 2022 & 2023, three new developments fronting a Design Review Corridor, Seacoast Drive, obtained building permits and are in the process of finalizing construction. Most recently, a new application for a 4-story hotel has submitted plans proposing to front Palm Avenue, also a Design Review Corridor. In 2023, building permits for three new restaurants were issued, two along Palm Avenue, and one for a tenant space within Bikeway Village – an adaptive reuse commercial site which received grant funds for on and off site improvements derived from former Imperial Beach Redevelopment Agency bond funds. Lastly, the City continually coordinates with the South County Economic Development Council to facilitate economic development.
Monitoring long-term growth. Since Imperial Beach is a built-out community, there is limited vacant land available for large scale development, except for the redevelopment of large properties (e.g. Bernardo Shores/Bayside Landing).
Grants administration. The city received $23 million from the California Transportation Commission 2023 Active Transportation Program for the Palm Avenue Complete Multimodal Corridor. The project includes pedestrian and bicyclist safety improvements along a six-lane state highway through the urban core of Imperial Beach. The City was also awarded $250,000 from the National Coastal Resilience Fund to create a community resilience plan for the City of Imperial Beach to address flooding in vulnerable populations that experience impacts related to coastal hazards. The project will create an adaptation management and monitoring plan that encourages nature-based solutions (Imperial Beach Community Resilience Plan). The city also secured a FEMA BRIC Grant for the Bayshore Bikeway Resiliency project which proposes an innovative solution to reduce the risk of flooding and to protect critical infrastructure vital to the Bayside community of Imperial Beach. The project would construct a living levee along an existing bikeway & trail. Most recently, the city was awarded a $2.1 million grant to further the Bayshore Bikeway Resiliency project by the State Coastal Conservancy.
GIS & Technology review. In 2023, the City completed various information technology projects including implementing a security CCTV and Access Control System at City Hall and Fire Station, launching a new interntal ticketing system, cable management for network rack and server rack enclosure in City Hall, Lifeguard IDF (independent distribution frame) relocation and the Brizo camera system to the server cabinet enclosure, and the deployment of IP phones at the Senior Center. Additionally, the city began collaborating with the Port of San Diego to implement a fiber optic project.
