REPORT FROM: AJ O'Connell, MCP, CBO, CCEA – Building Official REVIEWED BY: CW AGENDA ITEM: 2025 Building Division Report
ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ___Resolution ____Motion ____Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Kingsburg Building Division is tasked with the administration, implementation, and enforcement of the adopted Codes of the City of Kingsburg. These included the 2022 California Building Standards Code, the 2021 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code, and the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code, and certain provisions of the Kingsburg Municipal Code. The Division accomplishes these tasks by providing three basic services to the public: permit issuance, plans examination, and inspections.
This report is primarily broken down into Single-Family Residential, Multi-Family Residential, and Commercial categories. Single-Family Residential represents any construction project in a 1- or 2-family dwelling unit or an associated accessory structure. Multi-Family represents any construction project in a building with 3 or more dwellings on a single property. Commercial categories represent both commercial and industrial development. • Permit Issuance
The issuance of a building permit is the most effective means of ensuring that construction is performed safely and to minimum Code standards. All construction work requires a building permit, through the requirements of Chapter 1 in the California Building Code, with some limited exceptions.
July and September were the busiest months for permit activity with 44 total permits issued for each month. July was the busiest month for permits issued for Single-Family with 42 total permits issued. January, September, and October all saw a total of 5 permits issued for Commercial properties. The traditional construction slowdown in the Fall/Winter was tempered slightly in November with 29 total Single-Family permits issued, of which nearly 50% were for new Solar projects.

333 total permits were issued for Single-Family Residential properties. This number represented more than 88% of the total permits issued in 2025. Of the 333 permits issued for Single-Family Residential, almost a third were for new solar installation – which also includes associated installation of energy storage systems. The rate of issued solar permits increased drastically in the last six months of 2025, which coincides with recent federal legislation that eliminated tax credits for certain energy upgrades.

Total Permits Issued, Yearly
When the statistically negligible permits for Multi-Family are included, the number of residential permits overall decreased by more than 21% from 2024 to 2025. From the statistical high in 2021, overall permits issued for residential in 2025 are down nearly 54%.
A total of 17 permits were issued for new Single-Family dwellings in 2025. This represents a more than 70% decrease from 2024 where 57 permits were issued. The reduction in numbers can be explained for a number of reasons:
1) The number of building permits issued for the West Star Kings Estate Phase IV project has dropped due to impending completion. Full completion of the Phase IV development is expected in early-2026. 2) The absence of approved housing developments in 2025.
With the upcoming commencement of building construction of West Star Kings Estate Phase V, 97-approved lots on the west side of 18th Avenue, and the recent approval of The Retreat, 44 approved lots on the south side of Kamm, the Building Division expects the number of issued permits for Single-Family in 2026 to return to nearly 2024 levels.
It should be noted that in 2025, there is only 1 issued permit for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). Of the more than 39,000 total square feet of new Single-Family new construction and addition, less than 1,200 square feet was for ADUs. According to the California Housing & Community Development Department (CDH), issued permits for ADUs in the State saw a 20-fold increase from just over 1,300 permits issued in 2016 to almost 27,000 in 2023. Further, according to CDH, ADUs comprised more than 21-percent of all homes permitted statewide. In the City of Kingsburg, the single ADU permit represents less than 1% of the new Single-Family dwellings.

A total of 40 permits were issued for Commercial properties in 2025. The highest number of permits issued were for new or alterations of Fire Suppression and Alarm systems. In January of 2025, the Kingsburg Fire Department officially delegated enforcement of Fire Suppression and Alarm codes and standards for new construction to the Building Division. This action was intended to expedite the review, approval, issuance, and inspections of these types of permits. The Kingsburg Fire Department still maintains the enforcement authority for maintenance and postcommissioning inspections, as required by California state law.
The new structure indicated in the table above was for the new Irigoyen headquarters building located at 1400 California St. This building will occupy a corner lot location across from the Depot with more than 12,000 square feet of prime office space. Construction has commenced on the project and the Building Division expects activity on the site to increase in the next calendar year.

Construction Valuation, 2025
Defined, the valuation of a project is the combined fair market cost of materials and labor for a project. This estimated valuation is estimated by the permit applicant. Generally speaking, permit fees are calculated primarily from the valuation of the project. The more expensive the project is, the more expensive the permit fee. From that permit fee amount, a percentage is then calculated that covers other required fees for plan checking, state-mandated seismic fees, Technology Fees, etc.
In total, more than $22 million in construction activity occurred in the City in 2025. Almost 71% of that total represented Single and Multi-Family residential projects, including new construction, rehab, solar, etc. The total valuation amount for 2025 is down nearly 68% from the statistical high of 2021. The percentage decrease in valuation from 2024 to 2025 is significant by more than 50% for residential and nearly 76% for commercial.
These decreases in valuation are correlated with the reduction in the number of new structures that have been permitted, both residential and commercial. Construction valuation calculation for new structures is calculated using the Building Valuation Data provided by the International Code Council (ICC) and is not dependent on a specific bid or quote for a specific job. As such, these valuations tend to be larger than some bids for projects and are not scaled for bulk construction, such as tract homes. When the construction valuation for new structures is reduced, the valuation for rehab projects, solar, plumbing, etc. is not sufficient to make up for that deficit.
More commonly, the Building Division relies on the information supplied by the permit applicant for the valuation.
This number can vary greatly depending on the project. As a result, Building Division staff must often rely on experience and comparison of past projects to determine a fair valuation. This can create some subjectiveness and is an area that staff are working to improve upon.

Total Fees Collected, 2025
The numbers that are reflected here include not only revenue from Permit fees, but also intake of Development Impact Fees, state-mandated seismic fees, and approved Technology and archival fees. This data does not include any revenue generated through engineering or public works projects. Fees generated through these projects are collected by the Building Division as a normal duty.
In 2025, nearly ¾ of the fees collected were for Single-Family projects.
The City of Kingsburg’s fee schedule has a method to calculate permit fees based on an itemization of the work being down with agreed upon unit costs. These values were approved by Resolution more than a decade ago and do not account for increases in costs for said units.
• Plan Review
The majority of the building permits issued are considered “over-the-counter” representing less complicated projects. For more complex projects, a plan review is performed by the Building Division. Applicants submit to the Division information on documents describing how the project conforms to adopted Building Codes – otherwise known as “plans” or “blueprints.” Plan reviews are, arguably, the most critical element of the process to ensure building safety.
To perform this critical function, the Building Division utilizes three means of review: plan reviews done in-house by City Staff, outsourced reviews to contracted consultants that include both plan checkers and structural engineers, and an automated review software, SolarAPP+, for certain solar and energy storage projects.

In-house plan checks weighted overwhelmingly towards Single-Family residential projects. Of the 90 total Single-
Family residential projects submitted, almost a third were for Solar and Energy Storage Systems. More than 20% of the projects were for new pools.
• Inspections
Inspections are the final step in the construction process. Work is not considered legal nor complete unless the necessary inspections are performed.
The Building Official and contract staff from consultants performed over 1,900 inspections in 2025, with the City Building Official performing nearly 95%. The number of inspections performed decreased by nearly 23% from 2024.
Nearly 32% of the inspections performed were for Building Finals. This number is not surprising due to every permit requiring a Building Final inspection. The next most common inspection was Rough Framing with just less than 6% of the requested inspections. This graphic does not include the complete list of inspections performed, only the total numbers

Inspections Completed by Type - 2025
Inspections passed at nearly 2/3 rate when requested. This is a credit to the builders within the community for commitment to build to minimum Code standards and to staff in working towards gaining compliance when Code standards may not be met initially.
The inspection failed most often in 2025 were for Shear Wall and Roof Sheathing. These two inspections involve the load bearing and bracing elements within the structure itself. These are critical elements in any building and require extreme attention to detail and thoroughness by Inspectors in the field. Wall bracing is necessary for conformance to our respective seismic and wind loading in the area, as well as any loading for people, equipment, etc.

May 2025 – Building Division staff attended CALBO Legislative Advocacy Day in Sacramento.
July and October 2025 – In July, the Building Official was one of only two awardees in the State of California of the ICC Code of Honor Scholarship, a matching grant to give emerging leaders in the building safety industry the resources to attend the ICC Committee Action Hearings in Cleveland, OH. In October, the Building Official attended the Committee Action Hearings in Cleveland, OH for the Group B 2027 International Codes.
October 2025 – Building Division staff attended CALBO Education Week in Costa Mesa, CA.
October 2025 – Building Division staff participated in the “When Disaster Strikes” evaluator training.
December 2025 – The Mayor and City Council approved via Resolution and Ordinance adoption of the 2025 California Building Standards Code and the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code, as amended. These Codes took effect on January 1, 2026.
• Objectives for 2026
1) Continue to monitor State legislation for effects on Division operations.
On June 30, 2025, Governor Newsom signed two separate budget trailer bills into law that included numerous and significant changes to California’s housing laws. One of the two measures signed by the Governor, AB 130, limits a local jurisdiction's ability to enact modifications to building codes, amongst other items. Further, AB 130 essentially freezes building standards related to residential dwelling units until 2031.
It remains to be seen whether the triennial Code adoption process will continue in 2028 with this new statute. As the law does not specifically define residential dwelling units, the freeze on standards could possibly affect construction on not only single-family dwellings, but also multi-family, hotels/motels, certain institutional occupancies, etc. The Building Division will continue to monitor how various State agencies interpret this legislation and receive their direction.
It is reasonable to assume that there will be further legislative efforts in the next year to continue to regulate the Building Code and permitting processes from the State Assembly and Senate. Building Division staff will actively monitor these efforts and ensure that the Mayor and City Council are kept apprised of the status and disposition. 2) Establish a Standard Plan for Carports.
Due to the sometimes harsh and extreme climate in the City of Kingsburg, many property owners have erected carport-type structures without any building permits being obtained. Aside from fire and life safety concerns, the lack of building permits for these structures can create headaches for property owners during sale/refinance of properties or for renewal of insurance. These structures are also often in violation of City Zoning and Development Codes, thus requiring Code Enforcement action.
In the coming months, the Building Division will be attempting to create a Standard Plan for carports that property owners can obtain to modify these unpermitted structures so that they can become Code compliant. 3) Creating Division-specific Standard Operating Procedures for Disaster Response.
In the event of a disaster, rapid response is critical. The Building Division plays an integral role in assessing damage and spearheading quick and efficient rebuilding. This role has become magnified with the rebuilding efforts following the Eaton and Palisades Fires in Southern California in early 2025.
City Building Division staff participated in an evaluator training for assessing building damage after a disaster. In the coming year, Building Division staff will work with other Divisions and Departments across City government to integrate these skills and procedures into the City’s Disaster Management Plan.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor Smith & City Council
REPORT FROM: Alexander J. Henderson, City Manager, ICMA-CM REVIEWED BY: CW AGENDA ITEM: Micro-Grant Application Consideration – Swedish ‘Telefon’ Booth ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ___Resolution ____Motion ____Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 2017, Council created a program (guidelines attached) that would partner the City with private residents, groups or service clubs (public/private partnership) to help finance projects that may otherwise go unfunded. The main purpose(s) of the grant program is to support the following strategic priorities:
• Beautifying a public space/park
• Support community programs/group activities
• Provide a safety benefit
• Improve overall quality of life in our community
• Promote sustainable economic development
Staff has received an application for matching funds that would be used to help manufacture a Swedish ‘Telefon’ Booth (“Booth”) from the Kingsburg Downtown Business Improvement District (“BID”). The applicant is seeking $3,000 in matching funds.
Included in your packet are information and application documents regarding the proposal. Staff has completed the rubric and determined the project is eligible for funding. The project, as described by Community Member Cindy Regier and the applicant, is a wood, metal and glass traditional Swedish telefon booth. The Booth will be located in the bump out in front of Fugazzi’s. Staff have spoken to Fugazzi’s, who support the project. The location is owned by the City and replaces a tree that was removed. Public Works has met and walked the location with the BID and approves of the location. Any lights in the Booth will be solar power, removing the need of electricity. A photo of the proposed design and the location is attached to the application.
Kingsburg is known and celebrated as the Swedish Village, yet much of our Swedish identity is expressed through murals, colors, and annual festivals. The addition of an authentic Swedish “telefon” booth—Telefon Booth “Kung/King”—will offer our community and visitors a new, interactive, and memorable way to experience that heritage every day of the year.
The idea is that this booth will be placed in our downtown district and designed in the traditional Swedish architectural style—bright, charming, and unmistakably Scandinavian. When visitors step up for a playful photo opportunity, the Telefon bringing life, joy, and fun to the area in a way that encourages return visits.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor Smith & Council Members
REPORT FROM: Alexander J. Henderson, City Manager; ICMA-CM REVIEWED BY: CW AGENDA ITEM: Swedish Architectural Design Guidelines Discussion ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ___Resolution ___Motion _____Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As part of a regular review of new commercial development as well as certain existing façade upgrades, the city has an established architectural design review process. The process is identified in detail as part of Chapter 17.80 of the City’s Municipal Code, included as Attachment 1 of this report. A subset of that section includes specific language related to Swedish design standards. Per 17.80.020:
“The city council is empowered to adopt by resolution Swedish Village Design Standards and Guidelines, which contains specific criteria and guidelines for review of applications for new construction and exterior remodels within the Level 1 and Level 2 areas described in Section 17.80.010 and in accordance with Section 17.80.030. The city council may amend these standards from time to time, by resolution.” The Council last reviewed and adopted standards in 2012 (Attachment #2). As is identified in that document, the purpose of the guidelines is intended to establish parameters rather than a strict set of standards that are so rigid that they preclude innovation and creativity in building design. Over the past several years, there have been several examples of creative design elements that have added to the vibrancy and uniqueness of our City. Recently, staff has encountered applicants that are seeking more clarification on what meets the standard desired for Swedish design, especially when faced with newer, more modern construction.
Staff understands the importance of recognizing the city’s cultural heritage and the value that the Swedish architectural design requirements provide. We also want to be proactive with regards to keeping our standards modern, while also providing clear expectations to applicants. As such, the item was presented this to the city’s Economic Development Committee (EDC) for general discussion at their February 25, 2026, regular meeting. The EDC recommended the item be discussed by the Council, with the potential to have the EDC further review the following to determine if any updates and/or changes should be presented to the Council for consideration:
• Examine the existing design guidelines.
• Examine the areas identified as Level 1 and Level 2 intensity, as well as criteria for buildings that might be identified as a local architectural landmark.
• Examine the existing application submittal and review process. • Examine appeal process.
In order to accomplish the above, the EDC may need to engage an existing contractor and/or architects to understand building design challenges that might impact potential recommendations. No costs would be expended unless approved by City Council.
Meeting Date: 03/18/2026
Agenda Item: 8
RECOMMENDED ACTION BY CITY COUNCIL
1. Staff is recommending that the Council provide direction to the city’s Economic Development Committee to examine existing design standards and to provide recommendations on potential updates as well as review standards.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S)
1. Council could chose to not alter the existing process.
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE
1. Preserve the Kingsburg Experience
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW
Council considers projects as part of their regular review and adoption of the annual budget.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Prior to 2012, the city utilized an Architectural Design Review Committee made up of citizens/business owners to review architectural design applications. Ultimately, the Council shifted this responsibility to staff in order to be more responsive/timely to applicants. In addition, developers are sensitive to the number of times they must go back and forth with a committee on design requirements, as each revision likely incurs architectural consultant costs.
In order to provide guidance to staff and applicants, the Council adopted a set of guidelines to help set parameters to meet the Swedish Design standards. They were last approved by council in 2012.

17.80.010 Purpose and application.
A. The purpose of the architectural design review process is to avoid the unsightly, inharmonious and monotonous appearance of structures and signs by the review of the design, materials, textures, colors and other elements of construction which affect the exterior appearance of structures; to encourage originality in building design and construction in a manner which will enhance the physical appearance and attractiveness of the community; to preserve the investments in properties which exhibit tasteful consideration of the external physical appearance of the site and structures thereon and to encourage and enhance the desirability of private investment within the surrounding area. The architectural design review process is also intended to foster the Swedish architectural theme called for by policies of the city general plan.
B. The provisions of this chapter shall apply to any permitted or conditional use identified in Title 17 of this code other than single-family dwellings or multiple-family dwellings consisting of no more than two (2) units.
There shall be no exceptions to the application of this chapter except as granted for historic structures designated by resolution of the city council. Application of the Swedish architectural design review guidelines identified in Section 17.80.020 of this chapter will apply at different levels of intensity depending on the location of the proposed project:
1. Level 1 intensity shall apply to the downtown triangle bounded by the State Route Freeway 99, 18th Avenue and Sierra Street, with parcels on the north side of Sierra Street within the downtown triangle also included. Level 1 intensity shall also apply to shopping centers, strip malls and parcels adjacent to Sierra Street west of State Route Freeway 99 to Rafer Johnson Drive; on the north side of Sierra Street west from Rafer Johnson Drive to the city limit line; and adjacent to the west side of State Route Freeway 99 north of Sierra Street to the city limit line.
2. Level 2 intensity shall apply to that portion of the city within the triangle area bounded by Sierra Street, State Route Freeway 99 and Bethel Avenue; between State Route Freeway 99 and Simpson Street north of Sierra Street to the city limit line; and along Draper Street west of State Route Freeway 99.

PROPERTY TAX; IN LIEU OF VEHICLE
LICENSE FEES
Californians have paid the vehicle license fee (VLF), also called the “motor vehicle in-lieu tax,” with their vehicle registrations since 1935. The California Constitution requires the proceeds of the 0.65% VLF to go to cities and counties only and prohibits the Legislature from directing that the funds be used to pay for new state mandates on local government after 2010.
Prior to 2004, Vehicle License Fee (VLF) revenues were collected and allocated statewide among cities and counties (per capita for cities)
Significant financial transactions were legislated in 2003-04 and 2004-05 in order for the State to cope with severe fiscal problems. There were three main components: the Sales Tax Triple Flip, Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) III, and the property tax swap of motor vehicle license fees (VLF).
In essence, the VLF swap monies can be considered a subset of property taxes collected by the city.

SUMMARY & OUTLOOK
Most revenues trending in-line with projections (Sales Taxes are higher in the first 2 quarters.)
Fuel Sales remain a large portion of Bradley Burns revenues; recent volatility in oil prices have driven prices higher (higher sales tax potential) Property taxes showing steady increases over the past 5 years due to new housing, higher values when houses sold (not as prone to economic variables). Development-based permitting remains steady but is dependent upon economic activity (both residential and commercial). Crinklaw Phase V will drive more SFR permits in 2026 than 2025.
Economists originally expected resilient moderate growth for 2026. Concerns include recent global conflict leading to stagflation, potential AI market corrections, and higher unemployment.
