This Staff Report, along with the Housing Element APR, constitutes the General Plan APR to be submitted.

General Plan
The General Plan serves as the City’s guiding document for decisions concerning a variety of issues including growth, land use, housing, health and safety, and resource conservation. The City adopted its comprehensive 2040 General Plan update on July 8, 2020. The General Plan consists of seven (7) elements:

1. Economic Development (ED)

2. Land Use (LU)

3. Circulation (CIRC)

4. Housing (HE)

5. Conservation, Open Space, Parks and
Recreation (COS)

6. Public Health and Safety (PH)

7. Public Facilities and Services (PFS)
The City strives to implement all aspects of the General Plan at the earliest opportunity. Each element of the General Plan includes goals, policies, and implementation programs. Table 1 provides status updates for various implementation programs for 2024. For status updates on the implementation programs for the Housing Element, refer to Exhibit ‘A’ to Attachment ‘A’ (resolution). In addition to preparing an annual progress report, the General Plan includes Policy LU-7.1, which requires the City to conduct a thorough review of the General Plan every five years and revise and update it as necessary. The City will be commencing this review and update, if necessary, in 2025.

In addition to reporting on the progress of implementation programs of the General Plan, LCI guidance requires the City to report on any planning activities initiated, general plan amendments, and major development applications processed during the reporting period. For progress of planning activities refer to Table 1 for status updates. The following are general plan amendments and/or major development applications processed during the reporting period:

1. General Plan Amendment 2023-01; Whispering Falls Project; Approved The City Council approved the Whispering Falls Project on September 25, 2024. The Project approvals included General Plan Amendment 2023-01, Environmental 2023-01, Rezone 2023-01, Tentative Subdivision Map 2023-01, and Annexation 2023-01. The Project included the annexation of 64.76 acres to the City, pre-zoning of 44.75 acres to the SD-R-2.5 (Smart Development Combining District – Residential – minimum 2,500 square feet) Zoning District and approximately 20 acres to the SD-R-5 (Smart Development Combining District – Residential – minimum 5,000 square feet) Zoning District, and subdivision of approximately 21.89 acres into 118 single-family residential lots and one (1) lot reserved for 54 multi-family residential units and a community center in the future. The amendment to the General Plan consisted of the addition of the SD-R-2.5 zone district as a compatible zone district within the Medium Density Residential land use designation and set a minimum residential density of five (5) dwelling units per acre.

2. Crown-Schaad Residential Development; Approved
The City Council approved the Crown-Schaad Residential Development on September 25, 2024. The Project approvals included Environmental 2023-03, Rezone 2023-02, Tentative Subdivision Map 2023-02, and Annexation 2023-02. The Project included the 33 Section 7, Item A.
annexation of 9.69 acres to the City, pre-zoning of approximately 9.69 acres to the SDR-4.5 (Smart Development Combining District – Residential – minimum 4,500 square feet) Zone District and rezoning of approximately 19.65 acres from the R-1-7 (SingleFamily Residential) Zone District to the SD-R-4.5 Zone District, and subdivision of approximately 29 acres into 163 single-family residential lots.

3. General Plan Amendment 2023-02; The Orchards at Gill Estates; In Progress The City accepted a complete application for The Orchards at Gill Estates on January 17, 2024. The Project application includes General Plan Amendment 2023-02, Environmental 2023-04, Rezone 2023-03, Tentative Subdivision Map 2023-03, and Annexation 2023-03. The Project proposes the annexation of 39.13 acres to the City, pre-zoning of 30.39 acres to the SD-R-3.5 (Smart Development Combining District – Residential – minimum 3,500 square feet) Zoning District and 8.74 acres to the Mixed Use Zoning District, and subdivision of approximately 28.35 acres into 172 single-family residential lots, one (1) lot (8.74 acres) reserved for mixed use development in the future, and a 2.04 acres remainder to accommodate an existing single-family residence.

The Mixed Use Zoning District allows for a maximum density of 20 dwelling units per acre, which could yield up to 172 multi-family residential units if fully built out for residential purposes. The proposed amendment to the General Plan consists of the change of the land use designation of 8.74 acres from General Commercial to Mixed Use.

4. General Plan Amendment 2023-03; Del Norte Estates; In Progress The City accepted a complete application for The Orchards at Gill Estates on February 7, 2024.

The proposed amendment to the General Plan consists of the change of the land use designations of approximately 48 acres to increase MDR – Medium Density Residential and the addition of HDR – High-Density Residential, with a corresponding reduction in land designated GC – General Commercial. This Project is listed as “In Progress” for the purposes of the 2024 reporting period but has since been approved by the City Council by the date of this report.

5. General Plan Amendment 2024-01; 6th Cycle Housing Element Update The City Council approved the amendment on June 12, 2024. The amendment replaced the Fresno Multi-Jurisdictional 2015-2023 Housing Element with the Fresno MultiJurisdictional 2023-2031 Housing Element to comply with State law. 34 Section 7, Item A.

In total, the above residential development projects will result in 653 single-family residential units and up to 141 multi-family residential units (not including the possible yield from the mixed use parcel proposed as part of The Orchards at Gill Estates. The City also continues to receive inquiries regarding residential development on other properties and anticipates the submittal of new development applications in 2025.

Housing Element
State Housing Element Law (Government Code Section 65580, et seq.) mandates that local governments adequately plan to meet the existing and projected housing needs of all economic segments of the community. The City’s current Housing Element (6th Cycle), incorporated as part of the Fresno County Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element, was adopted on June 12, 2024.

The City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element is a comprehensive policy document that forms a crucial part of the City's General Plan. Covering the planning period from December 31, 2023, to December 31, 2031, this Housing Element aims to address current and projected housing needs, identify suitable locations for housing development, and establish goals, policies, and programs to meet the community's housing requirements.

As part of the development of housing elements for all jurisdictions, a Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) must be prepared. The RHNA establishes exactly how many new homes, and at what affordability levels, a jurisdiction is required to plan for within an eight-year planning cycle to address regional and State housing needs. Through the RHNA allocation, each jurisdiction is assigned its “fair share” of housing production at specified affordability levels.

Fair share ensures that each city or county plans for its proportionate share of the regional housing needs, including affordable housing for various income levels. As the planning body for the Fresno County region, the Fresno Council of Governments prepared the 6th Cycle RHNA which provides the housing allocation for each jurisdiction within the region.

The City’s Housing Element RHNA allocation for the 6
th Cycle planning period, which spans 2023
to 2031, was 1,063 units. The City’s RHNA allocation and progress are shown in Table 2 below, which is a summary of “Table B” of the APR provided in Exhibit ‘A’ to Attachment ‘A’ (resolution). As identified in the table, 55 new above moderate-income housing units were issued building permits in 2024. The City remains 1,008 units short, but this is only progress in the first year of the eight-year planning period. Progress toward achieving the mandated RHNA allocation is a key component of the annual Housing Element APR submitted to HCD.

The complete HCD standardized APR represents the City’s activity for the calendar year of 2024 and is provided as Exhibit ‘A’ to Attachment ‘A’ (resolution). Some things to consider that may 35 Section 7, Item A.
have directly or indirectly impacted the City’s ability to attain or meet the General Plan and Housing Element’s goals and policies:
 Competitive homebuyers market
 Higher interest rates
 Higher construction costs
The City’s Housing Element includes thirty two implementation programs intended to further the development of housing, specifically affordable housing. As part of the Housing Element APR, the City must report on the status of implementation of each program. “Table D” of the Housing Element APR provides a list of the programs, their objectives, timeframes for implementation, and status updates. Table 3 below provides a list of programs with significant implementation progress made in 2024.

Environmental Review
The APR has been determined to be categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines, Section 15306 (Information Collection) as it consists of basic data collection that does not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource.

The APR is strictly for information-gathering purposes as required by Government Code Section 65400. Furthermore, none of the exceptions set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply to this Project.

Conclusion
The APR for the General Plan and Housing Element describes the progress of the City’s ongoing efforts to implement and assess identified goals, policies, and objectives in the General Plan and Housing Element. Demonstration of ongoing compliance with State-required reporting ensures that the City maintains eligibility and competitiveness for ongoing grant funding opportunities that may help to implement these goals and policies. City staff will continue its proactive efforts to assist property owners, developers, community groups, and residents in achieving project approvals and streamlining building permit issuance.

Name of Program Objective Timeframe in H.E Status of Program Implementation Program 1: Regional Collaboration on Housing
The Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element provides an opportunity for countywide housing needs and issues to be more effectively addressed at the regional level rather than just at the local level, and the 15 participating jurisdictions are committed to continuing the regional collaboration in the implementation of the Housing Element. By working together, the jurisdictions can share best practices, explore opportunities for further collaboration, and make the best use of limited resources. The following efforts will be made to further regional collaboration:The City will continue to participate in the countywide Housing Element Technical Committee to collaborate on housing program implementation and regional issues, including disadvantaged unincorporated communities (Senate Bill [SB] 244), infrastructure challenges, farmworker housing,homelessness, and fair housing; The countywide Housing Element Technical Committee will meet at least biannually to evaluate successesin implementation of programs and to identify gaps and additional needs; The County of Fresno Public Works and Planning Department, with assistance from the Fresno Council of Governments (FCOG), will take the lead in coordinating biannual committee meetings; The Housing Element Technical Committee will meet annually with the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to discuss funding opportunities and challenges in implementation of programs and seek technical assistance from HCD and other State agencies in the implementation of housing programs and the pursuit of grant funding; The Housing Element Technical Committee will advocate on behalf of the Fresno region for more grant funding for affordable housing and infrastructure improvements; The City will continue to seek partnerships with other jurisdictions in the region and other agencies (such as the Housing Authority), housing developers, community stakeholders, and agriculturalemployers/employees to explore viable options for increasing the availability of farmworker housing in suitable locations in the region; The City will develop a directory of services and resources for lower-income households available in the region, and review and update it annually. The directory will be available on City/County websites and at City/County offices; TheCity will encourage hiring local labor by establishing and posting a local labor unions andapprenticeship programs resources list on City’s website that is made available to developers and contractors.

Continue to meet with the Housing Element Technical Committee twice per year;meet with HCD annually. Develop a directory of services and resources, and a list oflocal developers and contractors by December 2025; update annually as needed.

Ongoing; The City continues to collaborate with the Housing Element Technical Committee and other jurisdictions on housing program implementation and regional issues.

Program 2: Review
Annexation Standards in
Memorandum of
All jurisdictions in Fresno County are subject to the City/County Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which establishes procedures for annexation of land to cities. The City/County MOU encourages urban development to take place within cities and unincorporated communities where urban services and facilities are available or planned to be made available to preserve agricultural land. The MOU standards for annexation require that a minimum of 25 percent of annexation areas have an approved tentative subdivision map or site plan. While cities can take certain steps to “prezone” land in advance of annexation, the annexation of the land into city limits depends on private developers requesting an annexation. In cities that are mostly built out within their current city limits, the MOU may limit the cities’ ability to accommodate future housing needs. The County of Fresno and cities within the county shall work together at least once during the planning period to review and revise, as deemed appropriate by all parties, the standards for annexation in the City/County MOU.

Meet with the County by December 2026 to review the MOU standards, and updatewithin a year if changes are needed.

Ongoing; The City requests findings of consistency with the MOU from the County of Fresno for all proposed annexations. The City will coordinate with the County to review the MOU in compliance with the timeframe in the Housing Element.

Homeless/Unhoused Needs
The City will cooperate with neighboring cities, the County, and other agencies in the development of programs aimed at providing homeless shelters and related services. During this coordination, the City will monitor the demographic composition of the unhoused population to identify needs for targeted resources and determine what efforts to make, such as providing education on financial assistance and programs available. The City will also support local homeless service providers, agencies, and other community organizations to pursue funding from available sources for homeless services. As supportive housing or other services for homeless community members become available, the City will work with the Police Department Community Service Officers and support housing providers, in conducting targeted outreach to areas where homeless community members congregate, including the area around the Kerman Community Center.

Coordinate annually. Conduct outreach as opportunities become available.

Ongoing; The City coordinates with the County to offer available services to the unhoused population.

Program 4: Annexation and Provision of Adequate Sites
The City of Kerman will provide for a variety of housing types and ensure that adequate sites are available to meet its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) of 1,063 units. As part of this Housing Element update, the City has developed a parcel-specific inventory of sites suitable for future residential development. The suitability of these sites has been determined based on the development standards in place and their ability to facilitate the development of housing to meet the needs of the City’s current and future residents, pursuant to State laws.

The City will:Complete the following annexations to meet a shortfall in the moderate and above-moderate income RHNA based on sites within the current city limits. If annexations are not completed within the three-year period, the City will identify alternative land to rezone in order to meet the required moderate-income and abovemoderate-income need:
- Annex at least 40 acres of vacant county land, of which 35 acres will have a General Plan designation of MDR, allowing 12 units to the acre, and 5 acres will have a General Plan designation of HDR, allowing 24 units to the acre. - Annex 9.6 acres of vacant county land for single-family homes consistent with the General Plan designation of MDR (Figure 1-G-6 in the Sites Inventory Section);Maintain and annually update the inventory of residential land resources for internal purposes; Monitor the availability of sites appropriate for lower-income housing in keeping with state “no net loss” provisions (Government Code Section 65863), if development projects are approved at densities lower than anticipated in the sites inventory, and, if necessary, rezone sufficient sites to accommodate the RHNA within 180 days, ensuring that there is sufficient higher-density residential land available in areas throughout the city to deconcentrate poverty; Monitor and report residential development through the HCD annual report process; Actively participate in the development of the next RHNA Plan to ensure that the allocations are reflectiveof the regional and local land use goals and policies.

Annually monitor as projects are processed,
complete annexations within 3 years and120 days of Housing Element due date. If annexation is not completed within thisperiod, identify alternative rezone sites to meet unaccommodated need and completerezone within one year.

Ongoing; The City continues to monitor and report on residential development. The City Council approved Resolution No. 24-77 (Initiating annexation of 64.76 acres with 5 acres designated HDR and the balance designated MDR) on September 25, 2024. The City Council approved Resolution No. 24-78 (Initiating annexation of 9.69 acres designated MDR) on September 25, 2024.

Program 5: Water and Wastewater Service
The development viability of the vacant sites in the inventory is directly linked to the availability and capacity of public facilities and services. As the water and wastewater provider in the city, the City will adopt a written policy with specific objective standards for meeting the priority requirement for proposed developments that include housing units affordable to lowerincome households, consistent with the provisions of California Government Code Section 65589.7. Adopt a policy by July 2025.

Ongoing; The City plans, budgets, and implements capital improvements to its water and wastewater systems to ensure service to all new developments, with priority given to providing service to developments that include affordable housing units.

Program 6: Use of Sites in Previous Cycles
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65583.2(c), the city will allow by-right development (without discretionary action) for projects proposing 20 percent of the units affordable to lower income households on any non-vacant sites identified in the prior 5 th Cycle Housing Element or vacant site identified in two or more consecutive planning periods (4th and 5th cycle).

These provisions apply to Three parcels in siteU-1 (APNs 02303039, 02303041, and a portion of 02303044S). The City will continue to monitor sites moving forward.

These provisions shall take effect upon adoption of the Housing Element.

Ongoing; Site U-1 is zoned R-3 (multi-unit residential; maximum density of 24 units/acre).

Program 7: Affordable
Housing Incentives
The City continues to need affordable housing for lower-income households, especially for seniors, persons with disabilities (including persons with developmental disabilities), farmworkers, female-headed and single-parent households, persons experiencing homelessness, and extremely low-income households. The City will continue to work with housing developers to expand affordable housing opportunities by doing the following: Continue to seek partnerships and meet at least every other year with other agencies (such as the Housing Authority), housing developers, community stakeholders, and employers to discuss and pursue viable opportunities for providing affordable housing, with an emphasis on housing opportunities for very lowand extremely low-income households, as well as special-needs populations, such as seniors, persons with disabilities (including developmental disabilities), farmworkers, female-headed and single-parent households, and persons experiencing homelessness. Meet more frequently if development rates increase; Work with public or private sponsors to identify candidate sites for new construction of housing for special needs populations and take all actions necessary to expedite processing of such projects; Identify candidate sites for affordable housing projects on an annual basis and proactively conduct outreach to local developers regarding these sites; Pursue partnerships with the Central Valley Regional Center to identify funding opportunities and promote housing for persons with disabilities; Continue to offer fee reductions and deferral of development impact fee payments to facilitate affordable housing development and special-needs projects, particularly those on infill sites; Continue to promote the State density bonus and provide streamlined processing to facilitate affordable housing development and provide for additional flexibility for affordable housing and special-needs housing through the minor deviation process. The City will promote this program by publicizing the incentives on the City website and by conducting pre-application consultation with developers regarding available incentives. Examples of flexible development standards include reduced parking requirements; reduced requirements for curb, gutter, and sidewalk construction; common trenching for utilities; and reduced water and wastewater connection fees; Provide incentives to builders to provide housing with multiple bedrooms affordable to lower- and moderate-income households, aiming for construction of at least 20 units that meet these sizes, to meet the needs of female-headed, single-parent, and large-family households of all income levels (possible incentives will include reduced setbacks, reduced parking requirements, and technical assistance with applications for funding); Continue to streamline the environmental review process for housing developments to the extent possible, using available State categorical exemptions and federal categorical exclusions, when applicable; Monitor HCD’s website annually for Notices of Funding Ability (NOFA) and, where appropriate, prepare or support applications for funding for affordable housing for lower-income households (including extremely low-income households), such as seniors, disabled (including persons with developmental disabilities), the homeless, and those at risk of homelessness; Facilitate the approval process for land divisions, lot line adjustments, and/or specific plans or master plans resulting in parcel sizes that enable affordable housing development, and process fee deferrals related to the subdivision for projects affordable to lower-income households; Work with developers of multifamily and affordable housing projects to identify site opportunities in higher-resource areas, such as the area west of South Madera Avenue, and areas with higher median incomes to reduce potential for future concentrations of poverty and to improve access to resources; When affordable projects in higher-resource areas become available, such as projects on the city’s west side, require expanded marketing activities that include areas outside the neighborhood and in lowerresource areas such as the city’s east side to facilitate housing mobility for lower-income households; Reach out to religious institution site owners or operators within one year following Housing Element adoption to informthem of their reduced development barriers under AB 1851 to encourage the development of new affordable housing and promote housing mobility. Following this outreach, the City will provide mailed notifications to the owners within six months of the adoption of any new State legislation that reduces barriers to development of religious institution sites. Conduct additional, targeted outreach each year to religious institutions on the city’s west side, including information such as examplesof successful housing projects developed on religious sites, to promote housing mobility and to facilitate the development of additional affordable housing opportunities in this higher-resource area.

Ongoing, as projects are processed by the City.

Annually apply for funding and engage with
Central Valley Regional Center at least every two years. Targeted marketing in lower-resource areas when affordable projects in higher-resource are being leased up. Outreach to religious institution site owners regarding AB 1851 within one year of adoption, and additional outreach within six months of the adoption of any relevant State legislation. Conduct annual outreach to religious institutions on the city’s west side. Conduct annual outreach to developers on candidate sites for affordable housing.

Ongoing; The City will continue to collaborate with all parties identified in the Housing Element regarding affordable housing incentives and opportunities.

Program 8: Support Funding for Farmworker
The farming industry is the foundation of the county’s economy. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) 2017 Census of Agriculture, about 37,819 workers were employed in farm labor throughout the county, indicating a significant need to provide housing for farmworkers and their families, particularly during peak harvest seasons. The City will provide technical support and offer incentives to housing developers, such as the Fresno Housing Authority and Self-Help Enterprises, in the application of funds for farmworker housing, including HCD and USDA Rural Development loans and grants and other funding sources that may become available. The City will also continue to offer incentives such as density bonuses, streamlined processing, and the minor deviation process to facilitate development of farmworker housing. The City will also identify potential funding opportunities to provide housing vouchers or other forms of rental assistance with an emphasis on addressing housing needs during the off-season for seasonal workers. The City will also provide information onits website related to the Low-Income Weatherization Program (LIWP) of the California Department of Community Services and Development, and specifically its Farmworker Housing Energy Efficiency & Solar PV program. This program provides eligible low-income farmworker households with solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and energy efficiency upgrades at no cost to residents. The City will annually monitor the status of farmworker housing as part of their annual report to HCD on Housing Element progress and evaluate if City incentives are effective in facilitating the provision of farmworker housing. The City will make necessary changes to enhance opportunities and incentives for farmworker housing development as needed. Through proactive code enforcement the City will connect property owners of farmworker housing with rehabilitation resources (see Program 26) such as the Fresno County Rental Rehabilitation Program (see Program 25).

Meet with farmworker housing developers and advocates on a biannual basis to discuss their needs and offer assistance in the form of letters of recommendation for grant applications, assistance with site identification and grant opportunities, and discuss incentives for constructing farmworker housing. Annually review the availability of funding opportunities to provide housing vouchers or other forms of rental assistance and apply as opportunities arise. Put LIWP information on the City website by June 2024. At least twice during the planning period, identify opportunities for farmworker housing development and conduct outreach to developers about these opportunities.

Ongoing; The City continues to support developments that provide farmworker housing.

Program 9: Farmworker Preference in New
Affordable Housing
For new affordable housing projects developed with City assistance, incentives, and/or subject to City requirements, the City will require that the developer give qualified farmworker households a preference for 15 percent of the new units. Should demand from farmworker households be insufficient to fill the set-aside units, then the units will be made available to other qualified households. The City will annually reach out to affordable housing developers to gather interest and input on how to best implement this program and will provide information on available funding.

Ongoing, as projects are processed through the Planning Division and Community Development Department; annually reach out to developers and determine next steps within six months.

Ongoing; The City did not process any affordable housing projects during the reporting period. The City continues to support developments that provide farmworker housing.

Program 10: Extremely LowIncome Households
Assembly Bill (AB) 2634 requires the quantification and analysis of existing and projected housing needs of extremely low-income households. As part of Program 165, City will define and permit single-room occupancy (SRO) units, which are often more affordable to those with extremely low incomes. To further support the development or rehabilitation of SRO units and/or other units affordable to extremely low-income households, such as supportive and multifamily units, the City will continue to seek and pursue state and federal funds to offer a variety of incentives or concessions, such as: Provide financial support annually, as available, to organizations that provide counseling, information, education, support, housing services/referrals, and/or legal advice to extremely low-income households, to mitigate risk of displacement and support housing stability for extremely low-income households, persons with disabilities, farmworkers, and persons experiencing homelessness; Expand regulatory incentives for the development of units affordable to extremely low-income households and housing for specialneeds groups, including persons with disabilities (including developmental disabilities), and individuals and families in need of emergency/transitional housing; Encourage the provision of affordable housing for young adults, particularly former foster youth and young mothers, through planning consultations, streamlined permit processing, and funding assistance; Encourage the development of SRO facilities, transitional and supportive housing, and other special housing arrangements, including committing City funds to help affordable housing developers provide SRO facilities consistent with the SRO Ordinance.

Ongoing, as projects are processed by the Planning Division. By December 2024, conduct outreach to organizations that support extremely low-income residents to understand funding needs; review and prioritize local funding at least twice in the planning period; and support expediting applications on an ongoing basis.

Program 11: Preservation of
At-Risk Housing Units
Preserving the existing affordable housing stock is a cost-effective approach to providing affordable housing in Kerman. The City must guard against the loss of housing units available to lower-income households. As of September 2022, there are no affordable that are considered at risk of conversion to market rate in the next 10 years. For complexes at risk of converting to market rate, the City shall: Contact property owners of units at risk of converting to market-rate housing within one year of affordability expiration to discuss the City’s desire to preserve complexes as affordable housing; Coordinate with owners of expiring subsidies to ensure the required notices to tenants are sent out at 3 years, 12 months, and 6 months; Reach out to agencies interested in purchasing and/or managing at-risk units; Work with tenants to provide education regarding tenant rights and conversion procedures pursuant to California law.

Annually monitor units at risk of converting;
coordinate noticing as required per California law.

Ongoing; No affordable housing units were converted during the reporting period. 50 Section 7, Item A.

Program 12: Promote and
Facilitate Accessory Units
An accessory dwelling unit (ADU), sometimes called a “granny flat,” is an additional self-contained living unit either attached to or detached from the primary residential unit on a single lot.

It has cooking, eating, sleeping, and full sanitation facilities. ADUs can be an important source of affordable housing given that they typically are smaller and have no associated land costs. The City will encourage the construction of ADUs, particularly in predominantly single-family neighborhoods with higher median incomes, such as the area south of West Kearney Boulevard and west of South Madera Street, through the following actions, which are aimed at providing an increased supply of affordable units throughout the city, thereby increasing access to resources and facilitating housing mobility opportunities for lower-income households: Provide pre-approved ADU plans at varying square footages (two plans are under 500 square feet), which will limit or eliminate fee costs; Continue to implement the public education program advertising the opportunity for ADUs by annually updating informational handouts and brochures about ADUs that are available on the City’s website and at the public counter, or as needed to reflect changes in State law; Continue to provide standard plans for streamlined permitting. Provide informational materials on ADU opportunities to all discretionary land use applicants; At least annually, publish informational materials pertaining to ADUs through a combination of media,including the City’s social media accounts, newsletter, and direct mailing; By December 2024, identify additional incentives for construction of ADUs with new development, which may include differing collection times for impact fees for the square footage associated with the ADU.

Advertise pre-approved plans annually, update ADU materials annually, or as needed to reflect changes in State law, and identify incentives for construction by December 2024.

Ongoing; The City adopted the Pre-approved
Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Standard Plans
Program and Homeowner's Guide in 2022. The
ADU Program provides three pre-approved ADA
standard plans for property owners to utilize to streamline permitting. ADU reference materials are available to the public.

Program 13: Replacement
To reduce displacement risk and in accordance with California Government Code Section 65583.2(g), the City will require replacement housing units subject to the requirements of California Government Code Section 65915(c)(3) on sites identified in the sites inventory when any new development (residential, mixed-use, or nonresidential) occurs on a site that has been occupied by or restricted for the use of lower-income households at any time during the previous five years. This requirement applies to: Non-vacant sites; Vacant sites with previous residential uses that have been vacated or demolished.

Ongoing; the replacement requirement will be implemented immediately and applied as applications on identified sites are received and processed.

Ongoing; The City did not process any new developments on sites that were occupied by or restricted for the use of lower-income households during the reporting period.

Program 14: Housing for a Variety of Needs/New Growth Strategy The City will work with developers to encourage, promote, and facilitate a variety of housing types including but not limited to small lot development, multifamily housing units, single family homes with ADU conversion floorplans, multigenerational housing products, and medium density housing products such as duplexes, triplexes, and townhomes, apartment buildings. The City will also amend the zoning ordinance to require that subdivisions over 200 units include a minimum percentage of units that provide for alternate housing options, such as JADUs, or multigenerational housing types. The City will target development of a variety of housing types in new growth areas (specifically on the west side of the City), areas of predominantly singlefamily development, and of concentrated overpayment to reduce displacement risk, promote inclusion, and support integration of housing types based on income.

Work with developers as project are submitted to encourage and promote a variety of housing types and amend the Zoning Ordinance by June 2025 to require that subdivisions over 200 units include a minimum percentage of units that provide for alternate housing options, such as JADUs, or multigenerational housing types.

Ongoing; The City encourages developers to provide a variety of housing types with all new developments. The Whispering Falls Project approved in 2024 is a prime example, with singlefamily homes consisting of three types: 1) alleyloaded single-family homes, 2) single-family cluster homes, and 3) wide shallow single-family homes. The Project also includes a parcel designated for multi-family units.

Program 15: Local Labor The City will establish and post a list of local labor unions and apprenticeship programs on the City’s website and encourage developers and contractors to hire local labor.

Ongoing; The City continued the development of the Safe Routes to School and ADA Transition Plan to define any needs for improved access to resources. The City has completed the Vineland Avenue Street Rehabilitation and has awarded
the construction contract for Eastside Community Park (Hart Ranch Park). The City monitors for funding opportunities continually. Councilmember Hall was elected to the City Council from District 2 (east side of the City). 53 Section 7, Item A.

Program 32: Environmental
Hazard Mitigation
The City will investigate the availability of additional funds and programs to mitigate risks related to flooding due to dam failure, such as funds to elevate houses above 100-year flood level, particularly for low-income households, or to provide information to homeowners about potential flooding risks, and will apply for funding at least once every other year. The City will apply for funds as funding opportunities become available and will provide information about flooding risks and available funding opportunities in both English and Spanish to promote placebased revitalization with the goal of distributing this information to 100 households citywide, 60 percent of which will be on the city’s east side. To address air quality concerns in the city, the City will also partner with the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (Valley Air District) to complete the following actions: Review funding opportunities from the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (Valley Air District) on an annual basis; As funding is available, at least once every other year, pursue funding from the Valley Air District to fund projects such as: Bike paths near schools, the library, and shopping areas, particularly on the east side of the city; Plug-in electric vehicle chargers on in City-owned land Conduct outreach to owners of multi-family housing buildings at least twice during the planning period to support interested owners with funding applications for EV charging grants from the Valley Air District. Conduct one additional round of outreach during the planning period for multifamily buildings on the east side of the city. Review other state and federal funding opportunities on an annual basis. As funding opportunities become available, pursue partnerships with community organizations, regional programs, or local businesses such as Green Raiteros or Mid Valley Disposal to support funding applications for investment in green vehicles and infrastructure, prioritizing opportunities that would serve special needs groups and residents of areas of worse environmental outcomes, such the east side of the city. Provide technical assistance and/or letter or support for at least one funding application during the planning period.

Annually review funding opportunities. Apply as
funding opportunities become available.

Ongoing; The City continues to monitor for funding opportunities. 54 Section 7, Item A.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 26, 2025
PRESENTER: John Jansons, City Manager
SUBJECT: Discussion of City-paid Health Insurance for City Council Members (JAJ) RECOMMENDATION: Council hear a presentation from staff regarding City health insurance for City Councilmembers, with possible direction to staff.

DISCUSSION:

At a prior meeting, Mayor Pro Tem Yep requested information from staff regarding the City providing city-paid health insurance to City Councilmembers.

Attachment ‘A’ to this report is a Memorandum from the City Attorney outlining the rules and regulations found in the California Government Code regarding this subject. In summary, the legal memorandum provides that providing health insurance to City Councilmembers is permissible. However, the benefits provided may not be pursuant to an enriched plan. The benefits to Councilmembers “shall be no greater than that received by non-safety employees of the public agency.” Thus, the benefits may not be greater than those provided to members of the Kerman Miscellaneous Employees Association (KMEA).

Currently, the City provides health insurance to all employees at same levels. The City does not provide health insurance to nine permanent part time employees.

Attachment ‘B’ provides age-rated monthly cost estimates if Councilmembers were included in the City’s health plan as on July 1, 2024. It is anticipated that these rates would increase when July 1, 2025 rates are released and implemented.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Under the current year scenario, the cost to include City Councilmembers in the City’s health plan would be approximately $4,558.20 per month ($54,698.40 annually) with an anticipated, but unknown, increase effective July 1, 2025.

MEMORANDUM FROM CITY ATTORNEY
DATE: March 19, 2025
TO: Mayor and City Council
City of Kerman
CC: John Jansons, City Manager
RE: Health Insurance for City Council
This memo has been prepared in conjunction with the agenda item the City Manager is preparing in response to a request from Mayor Pro Tem regarding health insurance for the Council. The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the underlying framework for which City Council members may receive health benefits should the City Council desire to explore making changes in the future.

I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City currently provides health insurance benefits to City employees. Health insurance benefits to Council Members are permissible provided they are not different or greater than the benefits provided to City employees. Health insurance benefits will not be considered part of the Council Members’ salary.

Should the City Council desire to explore changing the health benefit structure to allow health insurance for the City Council, the matter can be placed on a future agenda for discussion and direction.

II. LEGAL DISCUSSION
A. Health Benefits for Council Members Are Permitted.

A city council “may provide for any health and welfare benefits for the benefit of its officers, employees, retired employees and retired members of the legislative body” in accordance with State law. (California Government Code (“Gov. Code”) § 53201(a).) The legislative body may further “authorize payment of all, or such portion as it may elect, of the premiums, dues, or other charges for health and welfare benefits of officers, employees, retired employees, former elective members . . . and retired members of the legislative body subject to its jurisdiction.” (Gov. Code § 53205.)
Government Code section 53208 further provides that, “any member of a legislative body may participate in any plan of health and welfare benefits permitted by this article.” Consequently, Attachment 'A'
66 Section 7, Item B.

Memorandum from City Attorney
Re: Health Insurance for City Council
March 19, 2025

Page 2 of 4 ends

there is clear authority for cities to provide healthcare coverage for council members as well as employees.

B. Health Benefits to Council Members Are Not Considered “Salary,” Provided the Same Benefits Are Available and Paid by the City for Its Employees.

California Government Code section 36516 provides that a city council may enact an ordinance providing a salary for each council member based on the population of the city. California Government Code section 36516(a)(2)(A) provides that, for cities “up to and including 35,000 in population. In accordance with this state provision, Kerman recently amended its ordinance to increase compensation. See Kerman Municipal Code §2.40.010.

Certain benefits and expenses are not included as part of a council member’s salary. One category of benefits that is not included in a council member’s salary is provided by Government Code section 36516(d), which states:
"Any amounts paid by a city for retirement, health and welfare, and federal social security benefits shall not be included for purposes of determining salary under this section, provided that the same benefits are available and paid by the city for its employees.” (Emphasis added)
While the definitions of “retirement benefits” and “social security benefits” are fairly clear, the definition of “health and welfare benefits” is not. Under statutory law, “health and welfare benefits” include hospital, medical, surgical, disability, dental, life, and income protection insurance or benefits, including group life insurance.” (Gov. Code § 53200(d).) Government Code Sections 53200 -53210 regulate the provision of health and welfare benefits to officers and employees of local agencies including cities. One limit set out in Government Code Section 53202.3 requires that when local legislators craft a benefit plan for themselves, they must share the same benefit plan widely with others: “All plans … shall provide benefits for large number of employees. A second limit set out in Government Code section 53208.5 (b) states that the health and welfare benefits shall be no greater that that received by nonsafety employees of that public agency.

Any payments that are not considered retirement benefits, health and welfare benefits, social security benefits, or expenses will be counted as part of a council member’s compensation. Such payments and compensation, combined, cannot exceed the cap allowed under the City’s ordinance approving compensation (currently $300 per month).

C. State Law Establishes Three Constraints on the Amount and Level of Benefits Received by Council Members.

Three statutes place constraints on the amount and level of benefits that city council members may receive.

1. The benefits provided for council members must be the “same benefits” that the City pays for “its employees” (Gov. Code §36516(d).)

2. The “medical plan” must provide benefits for “large number of employees”. (Gov. Code §53202.3.)

3. Where different benefit structures are provided for different sets of employees, the maximum benefits received by the Council can be no greater than the most generous “schedule of benefits” provided to any category of non-safety employees. (Gov. Code §53208.5.)
D. “Cashing Out” Healthcare Benefits Is Not Permissible.

Some cities have explored the concept of “cashing out” health care benefits, i.e. instead of receiving health care benefits, a council member receives cash instead. This structure is not permissible for two reasons.

First, in-lieu pay is considered part of salary when it is paid in cash. (89 Ops.Cal.Atty. Gen. 107 (2006).) If in-lieu payments are provided in cash, those payments must be accounted for in the salary ordinance and cannot exceed the salary cap established by the ordinance. (Id.) Second, in 2000, the California Attorney General concluded such a benefit was illegal when considering a similar situation involving members of the governing board of a school district. (83 Ops. Cal. Atty. Gen. 124 (2000).) In that situation, as is the case with council members, the amount of salary paid to school board members was limited by statute. (Id., see also California Education Code § 35120.) With regard to school board members, similar to the situation with council members, there is a statutory provision excluding “health and welfare” benefits from the meaning of “salary.” The Attorney General concluded that, while “health and welfare benefits” could be provided without regard to the salary limitation, cash payments were not “health and welfare benefits” for purposes of the statute.

Since there was no provision in State law for cash in lieu of health benefit, the Attorney General concluded that such cash payments would not be a true health benefit. Although we could not find a similar Attorney General opinion specifically addressing city council members' benefits, the same conclusion would likely apply for council members so that cash in lieu of healthcare benefits would not be treated as a health benefit.
68 Section 7, Item B.

E. Deferred Compensation In Lieu of Health Care Coverage May Be Permissible for City Council Members, if Offered to All Employees.

The California Attorney General has also considered whether a city may allow council members to be provided an in-lieu payment as part of a deferred compensation retirement program without the payment counting as salary. (89 Ops. Cal. Atty.Gen., 107 (2006).) Under the plan at issue in that opinion, employees could elect to forgo health insurance if they already had health insurance coverage and redirected the cash value of the benefit to a deferred compensation retirement plan or other specified benefit.

A deferred compensation benefit is a retirement-related plan organized under federal law for employees of government agencies, allowing them to deposit pre-tax earnings into a retirement account. Funds set aside in a deferred compensation account earn interest and are tax-deferred until the owner withdraws funds upon retirement.

The Attorney General concluded such a benefit plan was permissible because it allowed a council member to shift one exempt benefit (healthcare coverage) to another exempt benefit (retirement).

This is different from receiving cash in lieu of health benefit because the funds are not immediately accessible except upon retirement, severance from employment, in an unforeseen emergency, or when the employee dies.

Consistent with this recent Attorney General opinion, we advise the City Council that while a program allowing council members to receive cash in lieu of health benefit is not permissible, payments in lieu of health insurance benefits may be option that could be considered if the funds were to be set aside in another exempt benefit, such as a deferred compensation account. However, the City would first need to make this benefit available to all employees.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Respectfully submitted,
Hilda Cantu Montoy
