ITEM 9.1
CC 02-24-2026 Item 9.1 – Page 1 of 5
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Christopher Macon, City Manager
FOR: February 24, 2026 City Council Meeting
SUBJECT: Fiscal Years 2026-36 Pavement Management Plan
Recommendation
1. Adopt a resolution titled:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAGUNA WOODS,
CALIFORNIA, CONCERNING THE STATUS AND UPDATE OF THE PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE MEASURE M2 (M2) PROGRAM, ADOPTING A PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR FISCAL YEARS 2026-27 THROUGH 2035-36,
AND DETERMINING AND CERTIFYING THAT THE ORDINANCE IS EXEMPT FROM THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
AND
2. Direct staff to advance the Fiscal Years 2026-36 Pavement Management Plan’s proposed project for Fiscal Year 2027-28 to be completed together with the proposed project for Fiscal Year 2026-27 in Fiscal Year 2026-27.
Background
The City maintains approximately 9.8 centerline miles of pavement on four public streets (El Toro Road, Moulton Parkway, Ridge Route Drive, and Santa Maria Avenue). Centerline miles measure the length of streets, irrespective of the number of vehicle travel lanes.
Orange County cities are required to adopt and update a pavement management plan at least every two years to remain eligible to receive Measure M2 (OC Go) funds. The format and process required to be used in the preparation of pavement management plans is established by the Orange County Transportation Authority (“OCTA”).
ITEM 9.1
Item 9.1 – Page 2 of 5 CC 02-24-2026
The City Council most recently adopted a pavement management plan on March 30, 2024 for Fiscal Years 2024-34.
Discussion
Today’s meeting is an opportunity for City Council action, as well as public input, on the proposed Fiscal Years 2026-36 Pavement Management Plan (Attachment A). Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed Fiscal Years 2026-36 Pavement Management Plan to comply with Measure M2 (OC Go) requirements and assist with the strategic development of capital improvement projects.
The proposed Pavement Management Plan was prepared by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. Kimley-Horn also prepared the City’s Fiscal Years 2024-34 Pavement Management Plan and has provided similar services for the cities of Agoura Hills, Artesia, and Monterey.
Existing Conditions
Following field inspections conducted in October 2025, the City’s pavement was found to be in “good” condition, overall, with a citywide Pavement Condition Index (“PCI”) of 81.90 of 100.00, which is a decrease of 6.10 from the previous October 2023 measurement date.
A memorandum from Kimley-Horn with additional information regarding the circumstances leading to the 6.10 decrease in PCI is included as Attachment B.
Table 1: Citywide PCI Measurements
Measurement Date Citywide PCI Change in Citywide PCI
from Prior Measurement
October 2025 81.90* (6.10)
October 2023 88.00 1.40
November 2021 86.60 0.43
February 2020 86.17 (2.63)
March 2018 88.80 -
5-Cycle Median PCI** 86.60
* The current fiscal year’s pavement management work on eastbound Santa Maria Avenue between Santa Vittoria and Moulton Parkway, and at the intersection of Moulton Parkway/Santa Maria Avenue, is not reflected in the October 2025 Citywide PCI as construction had not yet begun at the time of the field inspections. During the October 2025 field inspections, those eastbound Santa Maria Avenue segments were found to have a blended (average) PCI of 74.77, which is anticipated to increase to 100.00 following completion of the current fiscal year’s pavement management work. ** “5-Cycle Median PCI” is the midpoint of the five most recent Citywide PCI measurements.
Proposed Pavement Management Plan
While not required by OCTA, the proposed Pavement Management Plan includes a 10-fiscal- ITEM 9.1
CC 02-24-2026 Item 9.1 – Page 3 of 5
year – instead of seven-fiscal-year – maintenance and rehabilitation plan. That extended planning horizon assists with budgeting and long-range planning.
The proposed Pavement Management Plan would maintain the City’s streets in “good” condition or above for each of the next 10 fiscal years. The Citywide PCI is estimated to increase from the most recent measurement of 81.90 to 85.50 in Fiscal Year 2031-32. Please note that each year’s PCI is an estimate based on greater projections and assumptions than the year prior. On a biennial basis, actual conditions are assessed via field inspections.
The following tables summarize changes in the proposed Pavement Management Plan that would affect the current and next two-year budgets. The Fiscal Impact section of this agenda report contains additional information on anticipated costs and funding.

(A portion of the “Current Project” for
Fiscal Year 2028-29 is proposed to be
completed in Fiscal Year 2027-28 (or

staff’s recommendation to advance
the project), resulting in an October

segment.)
Southbound Moulton Parkway
between Santa Maria Avenue and
Laguna Woods Village Gate 12.
Budget: $375,000
October 2025 Blended PCI: 70.25
Net Fiscal Impact on Fiscal Years 2027-29: When the budget is adopted, appropriations would need to be $24,592 higher than previously anticipated.
Proposed Advancement of Certain Work
To offset a portion of the recent decrease in Citywide PCI more expeditiously, and due to the proximity of the project areas, staff recommends completing the proposed projects for fiscal years 2026-27 and 2027-28 together in Fiscal Year 2026-27. Doing so would require increasing existing Fiscal Year 2026-27 appropriations by $196,003. Appropriations for the two fiscal years thereafter would be $289,408 lower than previously anticipated.
Next Steps
If the recommended action is taken at today’s meeting, staff would incorporate the proposed Pavement Management Plan and the direction to advance the proposed project for Fiscal Year 2027-28 into the next proposed update of the Capital Improvement Program and corresponding budget adjustments.
Fiscal Impact
Pavement management plans are planning documents and do not directly result in actual or committed expenditures. Funding for projects recommended in pavement management plans is considered as part of the budget development process. The funding necessary to implement the proposed Pavement Management Plan would be considered during the next proposed update of the Capital Improvement Program.
At present, all funding for future pavement management plan projects is projected to be ITEM 9.1
CC 02-24-2026 Item 9.1 – Page 5 of 5
drawn from the Road Maintenance & Rehabilitation Program Fund, which contains revenue raised through the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (“Senate Bill 1”). Even with the budget changes recommended in the proposed Pavement Management Plan and by staff, the Road Maintenance & Rehabilitation Program Fund is anticipated to have sufficient monies to fund all contemplated projects.

II. Executive Summary
The roadway network in the City of Laguna Woods, California represents a significant investment by the residents of Laguna Woods. Getting to, from, and around the City depends on the serviceability of its roadway network. When roadway pavements become distressed with ruts, potholes, and cracks, it impacts the community: trips take longer, the ride is bumpier, and vehicle maintenance costs increase.
The City of Laguna Woods executed a Pavement Management Plan update to investigate current conditions of approximately 9.8 miles of its roadway network. The information provided in this report details the methodology used to collect and analyze pavement distress data and existing pavement conditions across the City’s roadway network.
The results of the analysis indicate that as of October 2025, the Laguna Woods pavement network has a pavement condition index (PCI) value of 81.9. Approximately 75% of inspected pavement is in Good or better condition. Approximately 25% is in Fair condition, and 0% is in Poor or worse condition. This distribution of conditions is concentrated on the upper end of the PCI scale.
In recent Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects, the City has found success with pavement performance and aesthetics by executing a single mill and overlay project each year. This report lists CIP project recommendations for the next 10 years. Projects are assumed to consist of only mill and overlay and range from approximately $175,000 to $495,000 annually including inflation.
The City provided Kimley-Horn with contractor bid tabs for its recent fiscal year 2025 mill and overlay project on eastbound Santa Maria Avenue. These costs were converted into unit costs and separated into administrative and construction/material categories. Design costs are estimated at 5% of the construction cost and included in the Administration costs.
Kimley-Horn developed CIP project limits and priorities by identifying sections with the lowest PCI value in the network and then including adjacent sections where possible. Ten potential CIP projects for fiscal years 2025 through 2034 were determined and are presented with costs. Projects for fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27 have already been budgeted in the City’s Budget & Work Plan; however, this report proposes a change to the Fiscal Year 2026-27 project.
Current and historical inspection data dating back to 2014 was used within the PAVER software to model the City’s average pavement deterioration rate. Through this process, it was found that pavements degrade at a rate of approximately 0.67 PCI points per year on average. This deterioration rate was used to determine the projected PCI values at the time of each CIP project.
The results of this pavement condition analysisindicate that the overall PCI condition of the Project network is Good as of October 2025. This analysis was conducted in accordance with the methodology described herein, which constitutes the best available methodology for pavement analysis using a visual evaluation technique.
The pavement condition analysis summarized here was conducted at the network level and is not meant to replace the engineering and planning judgment required for project-level analysis and design work. KimleyHorn has no control over the cost of labor, materials, equipment, or broader market conditions. Projects identified as needing work in the near-term should be evaluated by the City on a case-by-case basis to ensure that the network-level decisions appropriately translate to the individual project.

III. Background
The City’s roadway network was evaluated in accordance with the standard method for conducting visual pavement evaluations, ASTM D6433 Standard Practice for Roads and Parking Lots Pavement Condition Index Surveys. Using this method, trained and OCTA-certified personnel evaluated the Laguna Woods roadway network to assess pavement conditions by documenting distresses visible on the roadway surface. The ASTM method relies on selecting representative roadway areas and tabulating pavement distress types, quantities, and severities to determine the PCI value for the roadway section. Higher PCI scores represent better pavement conditions. A PCI value of 100 signifies a road in excellent condition while a PCI value of 0 represents a road in failed condition. PCI values are assigned a condition category.
Pavement conditions deteriorate over time as vehicle loading, environmental conditions, and drainage undermine the integrity of the pavement structure. Well-timed maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) activities can slow or reverse this deterioration. Systematically applying M&R treatments to the pavement surface before significant distress has been observed helps preserve pavement conditions and extends the pavement lifespan. Repairing the pavement after damage has occurred increases costs, often significantly.
Figure III-1 below illustrates the financial impact of performing roadway M&R at different times in the pavement life cycle, with pavements in the poorest condition requiring costlier M&R treatments.

X. Reduction in Local Match
A local agency match reduction of 10% of the eligible cost for Project O submitted for consideration of funding through the Comprehensive Transportation Funding Programs (CTFP) call for projects is available if the local agency either:
a. Shows measurable improvement of paved road conditions during the previousreporting period defined as an overall weighted (by area) average system improvement of one Pavement Condition Index (PCI) point with no reduction in the overall weighted (by area) average PCI in the Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH) or local street categories; or
b. Have road pavement conditions during the previous reporting period, within the highest 20% of the scale for road pavement conditions in conformance with OCTA Ordinance No. 3, defined as a PCI of 75 or higher, otherwise defined as in “good condition”.
Road conditions found through preparation of this PMP show that the City is eligible for Local Match Reduction based on the current network weighted PCI of 81.9. Additionally, the City has demonstrated on page 5 (V. Projected Pavement Conditions (PCI) – Current Funding) that the City’s weighted-average PCI (by area) remains above a PCI of 75 after seven years.

XIII. Appendix C – GIS Digital Data
Introduction
The OCTA GIS Section maintains a spatial inventory of transportation infrastructure which mostly consists of major arterial streets, roads, and highways. A key component of road information is pavement condition. Maintaining an inventory of pavement condition will enhance OCTA’s GIS visualization and analysis capabilities and assist in understanding the transportation investment needs throughout the region. Therefore, a GIS dataset in digital format should be included in thisreport.
If the agency is unable to provide pavement data in the requested GIS format, a request for exception must be submitted by the agency. When requesting an exception, the agency must provide a letter signed by the Public Works Director with an explanation and a timeline of when the agency will have capabilities of providing pavement data in the required GIS digital format.
Structure of GIS Data
The GIS dataset must consist of linear geographic features that represent road/street segments. All segments that are part of the report should be included in the GIS dataset. The attribute information of each segment should generally follow the format of the Complete Listing of Current Street Conditions in Appendix B above.
The GIS data requirements are discussed below. Most commercial and open-source GIS software provide industry-standard tools to manage GIS data to meet these requirements.
GIS Digital Data Format
The GIS data must be submitted in either one of the following formats:
• Esri Shapefile, or
• Esri File Geodatabase
Metadata
The GIS data are required to have associated metadata. The minimum metadata items required are:
• Title of Dataset
• Tags (A set of words that can be used by GIS to search for the resource. For example:
“pavement”, “transportation”, “roads”)
• Summary (A brief purpose statement of the dataset)
• Description (A brief narrative of the dataset’s content) • Credits (A recognition of those who created or contributed to the resource) ITEM 9.1 - Exhibit A to Attachment A
Pavement Management Plan Agency Submittal
Page | 15
Spatial Geometry Type
The spatial geometry of the segment features must be lines that represent the roadway centerline as accurately as possible.
Projection
The GIS data must have spatial reference information and have its coordinate system identified and embedded in or associated with the data file(s). All GIS data submitted to OCTA should be in the following projected coordinate system:
• NAD 1983 State Plane California VI FIPS 0406 (US Feet) - More information about this system can be found at: https://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/nad83-california-zone-6-ftus/ GIS Feature Attributes
The required segment attributes are:
• Street name
• Unique segment identifier (Segment ID from original source if available) • Name of intersecting road at the beginning of a segment • Name of intersecting road at the end of the segment
• Current pavement condition index (PCI)
• Current PCI inspection date
• Length of road segment in feet
• Width of road segment in feet
• Paved area of road segment in square feet or square yards • Projected PCI at end of Seven-Year Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Plan Additional attributes such as number of through travel lanes, direction of travel and pavement surface type may be provided. An example of a GIS attribute table for road segments is shown below (Note that there are additional attributes such as surface, functional class, and number of travel lanes).

XIV. Appendix D – Quality Assurance/Quality Control Plan Introduction
When performing data collection in any field, the need for quality control is paramount as it is essential for accurate planning, analysis, and design. This is particularly true when collecting pavement distress data for a pavement management system.
The Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Plan establishes minimum quality standards for performance and procedures for updates of the pavement management system.
Objectives
This document constitutes a formal QA/QC Plan for the City of Laguna Woods. It was prepared on 11/4/2025 and last revised on 11/6/2025.
Specifically, it is intended for the 2025 Pavement Management Plan Update. The focus is on the collection of network-level pavement distress data (defined by National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 401 Quality Management of Pavement Data Collection, as “Network-level data collection involves collection of large quantities of pavement condition data, which is often converted to individual condition indices or aggregated into composite condition indices.”) This document also addresses the QA/QC plan requirements of the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA)’s “Countywide Pavement Management Plan Guidelines” (section 2.4), originally adopted in May 2010.
Structure of QA/QC Plan
The following components are addressed in this QA/QC Plan:
• Condition survey procedures used
• Accuracy required for data collection
• Inspector qualifications and experience
• Safety
ITEM 9.1 - Exhibit A to Attachment A

Condition Survey Procedures
The governing document in performing condition surveys for the City of Laguna Woods is ASTM D6433 “Standard Practice for Roads and Parking Lots Pavement Condition Index (PCI) Surveys.” Both asphalt concrete (AC) and Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements are included in this protocol. The following distresses are collected for each pavement type.
Asphalt Concrete AC Pavements
1. Alligator (fatigue) cracking
2. Bleeding
3. Block cracking
4. Bumps and sags
5. Corrugation
6. Depression
7. Edge cracking
8. Joint reflection cracking
9. Lane/Shoulder drop off
10. Longitudinal & Transverse cracking
11. Patching and utility cut patching
12. Polished aggregate
13. Potholes
14. Railroad crossing
15. Rutting
16. Shoving
17. Slippage cracking
18. Swell
19. Weathering
20. Raveling
Portland Cement Concrete (Jointed) Blowup/ buckling
1. Corner breaks
2. Divided slab
3. Durability (“D”) cracking
4. Faulting
5. Joint seal damage
6. Lane/shoulder drop-off
7. Linear cracking
8. Patching (large) and utility cuts
9. Patching (small)
10. Polished aggregate
11. Popouts
12. Pumping
13. Punchout
14. Railroad crossing
15. Scaling, map cracking, and crazing
16. Shrinkage cracks
17. Spalling (corner)
18. Spalling (joint)
Any exceptions to the above procedures are discussed before any surveys are performed. These are documented in the paragraphs below.
All surveys are performed as walking surveys, and a minimum 10% sampling rate is utilized. Field crews are typically composed of two people. The safety of field personnel is paramount in all instances.
ITEM 9.1 - Exhibit A to Attachment A
Pavement Management Plan Agency Submittal
Page | 18
The sample unit selected for assessment must be representative of the entire pavement section. This assumesthatthe section is homogenous. Ifitisnot homogeneous,then the section must be split according to the criteria agreed upon by the agency. Typically, the criteria used are:
• Pavement condition
• Construction age, if known
• Maintenance history, if known
• Traffic volumes (or functional classification as a surrogate) • Surface types (e.g., asphalt concrete or Portland cement concrete) • Geometric elements (e.g., width)
Any modificationsto the section inventory data are documented in the pavement management report.
A sample unit must be between 2,500 ± 1,000 square feet in conformance with ASTM D6433 protocols.
Typical sample unit dimensions are 100 feet long by the width of the street. Streetsthat are wider than 40 feet wide will have shorter lengths (generally 50 feet) or if they are divided by a raised median, separate sample units are taken in each direction.
Any pavement areas that are not representative of the section will be noted and surveyed as an additional sample unit.
Accuracy Required for Data Collection
The accuracy required for data collection has two components, both of which are further described in the following paragraphs.
• Re-inspections
• PCI comparisons with past surveys
Random and Systematic Re-Inspections
Random Re-inspections
Random re-inspections will include a representative selection across the following categories:
• Functional classes (e.g., MPAH, locals)
• Surface types (e.g., asphalt concrete or Portland cement concrete) • Pavement conditions (e.g., good, fair, poor)
• Inspection personnel
• Geographical areas, if applicable
Systematic Re-inspections
For systematic re-inspections, this could be due to observed trends such as specific treatment types (e.g., open-graded mixes), a specific inspector, or geographical area. In such cases, more than 5% will be re-inspected.
ITEM 9.1 - Exhibit A to Attachment A
Pavement Management Plan Agency Submittal
Page | 19
Acceptability Criteria
At the time of re-inspection, the actual distresses will be re-inspected and verified, and any corrections made, if necessary. Distress types and severities must be the same and re-measured quantities within ±10% of the original measured quantity.
If corrections are required on more than 10% of the re-inspected sample unit, then an additional 5% will be re-inspected. This will continue until more than 95% of the re-inspected sections meet the acceptability criteria.
PCI Comparison with Past Surveys
As another level of quality control, new PCI values are compared with previous PCI values. If they differ by more than ±10 PCI points, these sections are automatically flagged for further investigation.
If PCI Increases 10 points
The section is investigated to see if a maintenance and rehabilitation event has occurred since the last survey but has not been recorded. Typically, these events may include activities such as:
• Crack sealing – changes medium or high severity cracking to low severity • Patching – alligator cracking that has been removed and patched, so that the resultant PCI is increased
• Surface seals
• Overlay
• Others
An up-to-date maintenance and rehabilitation history file in the pavement management database is desirable, both for historical accuracy and to provide additional quality control.
If PCI decreases 10 points
The section is checked to see if the average deterioration rate (usually 3 to 4 points per year) is exceeded. If the drop in PCI is within range of what is acceptable, no further action is required. If the drop is more than the acceptable range, a re-inspection will be performed. The default performance curves in the pavement management software form the basis for what is acceptable.

Safety Procedures
The City of Laguna Woods administers a health and safety program in compliance with the Cal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Title VIII, Section 3203.
Generally, the safety procedures include:
• Inspectors to wear a Class 2 or 3 safety vest at all times; • Flashing beacon on all vehicles utilized for surveys; and • Stopped vehicles to be parked at locations away from moving traffic (e.g., nearby parking, shoulders).
On streets where there is a high volume of traffic or high speeds, additional measures may be necessary, such as:
• Surveys to occur during off-peak periods or on weekends; • Additional inspector to watch out for traffic; and
• Traffic flaggers in extreme cases.

MEMORANDUM
To: City of Laguna Woods
From: Jalen Rich, EIT.
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.
Date: January 27, 2026
Subject: Pavement Management Program – PCI Comparisons from 2023 to 2025
GENERAL OBSERVATIONS
Pavement condition evaluations are based on a visual assessment of representative sample units within each pavement section. When pavements begin transitioning into a more rapid stage of deterioration, this assessment process may capture distresses that were not present in prior evaluation cycles. In accordance with OCTA procedures, sections exhibiting pavement condition index (PCI) value drops greater than 10 points were flagged and reinspected. Results of the reinspected samples validated the accuracy of the current pavement conditions.
In sections where larger PCI drops were observed, the primary change from 2023 to 2025 was the appearance of medium-severity block cracking and, in some locations, structural (alligator/fatigue) cracking. These distress types tend to progress relatively quickly and can have a significant influence on PCI (10 to 15 points) once they begin to develop.
PCI reductions of this magnitude over a two-year period can occur when structural cracks not fully addressed with a mill and overlay begin to propagate to the surface. In such cases, existing cracks in the underlying pavement layers can migrate upward through the overlay in a short period of time. The rate at which this reflective cracking appears can also be affected by project-specific design and construction details, such as the extent of crack sealing prior to overlay, tack coat application rates, use of interlayers, and material properties. These measures can help reduce or delay reflective cracking but generally cannot eliminate it when structural deficiencies remain. Because Kimley-Horn was not involved in the original design or construction of these treatments, it is not possible to determine which of these factors may have influenced performance in this case.
Environmental conditions can further accelerate deterioration. Periods of heavier rainfall can allow water to infiltrate through newly formed cracks, contributing to weakening of the underlying layers and causing block cracking to transition more rapidly into alligator cracking.
Typical conditions are presented for 2023 and 2025 inspection cycles in Figure 1 through Figure 12 to illustrate the rapid progression of the distresses causing the large drop in PCI.

9.2 CITY HALL REFURBISHMENT AND SAFETY
PROJECT: PHASE 5
This page is intentionally blank.
ITEM 9.2
CC 02-24-2026 Item 9.2 – Page 1 of 4
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Christopher Macon, City Manager
FOR: February 24, 2026 City Council Meeting
SUBJECT: City Hall Refurbishment and Safety Project: Phase 5 Recommendation
Provide direction to staff on improvements to be made as part of the City Hall Refurbishment and Safety Project: Phase 5.
Background
City Hall was first occupied by the City in 2001 and acquired in 2011. The building was constructed in 1979/1980 for use as a bank and includes 8,374 square feet over two stories.
The City Hall Refurbishment and Safety Project: Phase 5 (“project”) is included in the Fiscal Years 2025-36 Capital Improvement Program. The project’s scope of work includes:
• Remodel of the first-floor lobby, counter, and office areas • Improvement of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems • Other work related to accessibility, functionality, safety, and security Discussion
Today’s meeting is an opportunity for City Council action, as well as public input, on the improvements to be made as part of the City Hall Refurbishment and Safety Project: Phase
5. Staff plans to present the proposed floor plan and conceptual renderings (Attachment A), as well as provide a status report on the project. Staff is not seeking any specific direction from the City Council at this time; however, this item has been agendized in a manner that would allow the City Council to provide direction if desired.
The project’s design team is led by Smith Architects, Inc., the same architectural firm that designed phases 3 and 4 of the City Hall Refurbishment and Safety Project.
ITEM 9.2
Item 9.2 – Page 2 of 4 CC 02-24-2026
The project’s design team includes the following firms:
• Architect: Smith Architects, Inc., www.smitharchitecture.com • Structural Engineer: N:P:I Structural
• Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing Engineer: RPM Engineers, Inc., www.rpmpe.com • Interior Designer: Kardent Architecture Design, www.kardentdesign.com • Audio Visual Designer: Vidiflo, LLC, www.vidiflo.com
The proposed floor plan was developed by the project’s architect and interior designer after assessing the City’s needs. It is jointly endorsed by the City Manager and all department heads, as well as the Building Official and Public Works Administrator.
The proposed floor plan includes the following:
• A desk-height, accessible front counter with one receptionist/cashier window and three flexible workstation windows
o Key Benefits:
Improved accessibility and comfort. With the exception of the reception window, the existing front counter is standing height only and lacks areas for staff to work with individuals who use wheelchairs or have difficulty standing for long periods of time. The proposed front counter includes a desk-height, accessible surface within each window and a speaker to enhance communication through the Plexiglas partition. Even beyond accessibility, staff and members of the public would benefit from being able to sit to conduct City business.
Improved staff safety. The existing front counter is secured by only a low, swinging gate with a simple latch lock. The proposed front counter would fully enclose the staff work area, which would be particularly helpful in securing the work area and City equipment and files during periods of lesser staffing and after-hours events (e.g., vote centers). • Eight dedicated staff work areas – one receptionist/cashier desk at the front counter, three cubicles, and four hard walled offices
o Key Benefits:
Improved staff workspace. The proposed floor plan would increase the number of hard walled offices by two, which, most notably, would allow the Building Official to move out of an undersized cubicle. As the space is reconfigured, the shared cubicle for the building inspectors would also be enlarged and set back from the adjacent path of travel. Improved placement of staff. The proposed floor plan would allow the Senior Planner and Senior Management Analyst responsible for solid waste and stormwater programs to move from the second to first floors.
ITEM 9.2
CC 02-24-2026 Item 9.2 – Page 3 of 4
Doing so would co-locate all non-executive Planning & Environmental Services Department employees on the first floor, which would result in greater efficiency and enhanced collaboration.
• Conversion of the existing storage vault into a conference room with seating for nine and audio/video teleconferencing equipment
o Key Benefits:
Improved meeting facilities. City Hall’s existing conference room was not purpose built and lacks privacy, space, and typical amenities (e.g., teleconferencing equipment, refrigeration, and water). The proposed conference room would be more private (both in location and courtesy of the vault’s 12-inch-thick concrete walls), larger, and outfitted with two large teleconferencing screens, a small refrigerator, and a water station. • A dedicated room for waste drop-off services (household document shredding drop off, home-generated sharps waste disposal, and household battery disposal) o Key Benefits:
Improved location. City Hall’s waste drop-off services are currently spread throughout the first floor with shredding and sharps waste services requiring members of the public to be given access to areas behind the front counter. The proposed floor plan creates a room directly accessible from the lobby for these purposes.
• The ability to “lock off” portions of City Hall to allow use of the first floor restrooms in conjunction with outdoor events or potential expanded public library hours. o Key Benefits:
Improved functionality. The proposed floor plan would make it easier to secure City Hall for a variety of potential future uses.
Staff anticipates being able to solicit competitive bids to construct the project beginning in April 2026. Contingent on receiving responsive bids, the City Council could be asked to consider the award of a construction contract as early as June 2026.
Construction is expected to last approximately six months. During construction, staff would be temporarily relocated within City Hall (principally to the Council Chambers). City Council meetings would be temporarily relocated to an alternate location.
Fiscal Impact

CC 02-24-2026 Item 9.3 – Page 1 of 3
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Christopher Macon, City Manager
FOR: February 24, 2026 City Council Meeting
SUBJECT: Commercial Objective Design Standards Project
Recommendation
1. Provide direction to staff on the preparation and adoption of design standards for new development and redevelopment projects in commercial zoning districts including, but not limited to, objective design and development regulations.
AND
2. Waive the provisions set forth in Laguna Woods Municipal Code Section 3.06.080(c) related to competitive bidding and authorize the City Manager to enter into agreements with JZMK Partners, Inc. to provide professional services related to the preparation and adoption of design standards for new development and redevelopment projects in commercial zoning districts, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney, in an amount not to exceed $80,000 (including work already completed or contracted for).
Background
The Fiscal Years 2025-27 Budget & Work Plan includes a significant work plan item to refine the City’s objective design and development regulations (“design standards”) for new and redevelopment projects (e.g., architectural and landscape standards).
The City is in the process of drafting design standards to guide the future construction and renovation of commercial properties (e.g., businesses, gas stations, office buildings, restaurants, and shopping centers). Site design characteristics such as accessibility, landscaping, lighting, parking, and bicycle, pedestrian, and vehicle access, as well as building design characteristics such as articulation, height, massing, materials, and roof form, will be among the topics addressed in the commercial design standards.
ITEM 9.3
Item 9.3 – Page 2 of 3 CC 02-24-2026
Staff has contracted with JZMK Partners, an architecture, planning and urban design firm based in Costa Mesa, to assist with the preparation of the commercial design standards.
JZMK Partners has relevant experience providing similar services to other cities, including Laguna Hills and Mission Viejo, both of which adopted objective design standards for residential projects with JZMK Partners’ technical assistance. For additional information on JZMK Partners, please refer to Attachment A or visit their website at www.jzmkpartners.com.
The City hosted a community workshop on commercial design standards on January 26, 2026. The workshop was facilitated by JZMK Partners and attended by 21 members of the public, in addition to members of the City Council and staff.
Where would commercial design standards apply?
The commercial design standards are being drafted to apply to future commercial projects; no specific project is under consideration at this time. The commercial design standards would not apply to clubhouses, manors, or other properties that are part of Laguna Woods Village, unless those properties are located in a commercial zoning district (e.g., the Laguna Woods Village Community Center).
The shopping centers that comprise most commercially zoned property are:
• Home Depot Center (Home Depot, Stater Bros., etc.)
• Plaza Laguna Woods (Public Storage, etc.)
• Town Centre (Ayres Hotel, Village Community Center, etc.) • Valencia Center (CVS, Mother’s Market, etc.)
• Willow Tree Center (ALDI, Dollar Tree, Olive Garden, etc.) Additional commercially zoned properties are located:
• At the Moulton Parkway/Ridge Route Drive intersection (Starbucks) • At the El Toro Road/Moulton Parkway intersection (ARCO Station/ampm, Mobil Station, Shell Station (under construction), Starbucks) • West of the Moulton Parkway/Via Campo Verde intersection (Rossmoor Electric building, Saddleback Golf Cars)
• East of the Moulton Parkway/Calle Aragon intersection (The Artist Tree building, Ivy Park of Wellington (formerly Las Palmas)1
, McCormick & Son Mortuary, Palm Terrace
Healthcare and Rehabilitation)
• Northwest of the El Toro Road/Paseo De Valencia intersection (Chase Bank) • West of the Paseo De Valencia/Calle De La Plata intersection (Bank of America, former Century 21 and Wells Fargo buildings)
1 Ivy Park of Wellington is the only residential use currently located in a commercial zoning district.
All other residential uses are located in non-commercial zoning districts.

Discussion
Today’s meeting is an opportunity for City Council action, as well as public input, on the Commercial Objective Design Standards Project.
Staff suggests the following format for this item:
1) Introductory Remarks – City Manager
2) Presentation with Interactive Input from City Council – JZMK Partners The slide presentation is included as Attachment A.
3) Public Comments – Each member of the public will have an opportunity to speak in person or have their written comments read aloud once for up to three minutes. 4) Consideration of a motion to waive the provisions set forth in Laguna Woods Municipal Code Section 3.06.080(c) related to competitive bidding and authorize the City Manager to enter into agreements with JZMK Partners, Inc. to provide professional services related to the preparation and adoption of design standards for new development and redevelopment projects in commercial zoning districts, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney, in an amount not to exceed $80,000 (including work already completed or contracted for). This would allow the Commercial Objective Design Standards Project to progress to completion with the continued assistance of JZMK Partners.
Fiscal Impact
Sufficient funds to support this project are included in theCity’s budget. $50,000 is budgeted in the General Fund (Fiscal Year 2025-26) for this project. The remaining $30,000 would be funded using existing Planning & Environmental Services Department appropriations in the General Fund. No new or increased appropriations are sought as part of this item.

Objective Design Standards are clear, measurable rules that guide how new buildings should look and fit in the community. They cover things like height, roof type, materials, windows, and landscaping, ensuring consistent and predictable decisions.
Unlike subjective review, these standards don’t rely on personal opinions. They give residents and builders clearer expectations, fewer surprises, and a fair approval process, while protecting Laguna Woods’ character and visual quality.

3.1.3 BUILDING MODULATION
3.1.3.1 MASSING BREAKS
Minor and major massing breaks are required for elevations that face a public street, pedestrian-oriented space, or a publicly accessible outdoor space. This can be created using insets, bays, notches or protrusions.
1. Minor Massing Break: A minor massing break shall be applied at least every 60 feet in horizontal building length. The minor break shall be a minimum of one foot deep and four feet wide, open to the sky, and extend the full height of the building.
2. Major Massing Break: A major massing break shall be applied at least every 100 feet in horizontal building length. The major break shall be a minimum of three feet deep and six feet wide, open to the sky, and extend the full height of the building.
3.1.3.2 MA XIMUM CONTINUOUS UNINTERRUPTED BUILDING LENGTH Buildings over 400 ft. in length, apart from applying the minimum required massing breaks, shall apply a horizontal plane change (open to the sky) of at least 50 ft. in depth when it reaches 400 ft. in length.
For this plane change, the total linear horizontal length (A+B+C) shall not be less than 200 ft., shown in figure 3.3.
3.1.3.3 MA XIMUM BUILDING LENGTH
The maximum length of a building in any direction shall be 700 feet. The total building perimeter length shall not exceed 2,300 feet.
3.1.3.4 E XEMPTIONS
1. Building elevations that are less than 60 feet in length are not required to have a change in plane incorporated into their design.
2. Stacked balconies with a minimum depth of 5 feet and a minimum length of 8 feet, when applied to at least 80% of the upper floors can count as a minor massing break as long as: a) the railing is at least 70% see-through or transparent and goes all the way across the 8 feet minimum length and; b) the parapet does not go all the way through the balcony. It will not qualify as a replacement for a major massing break which is open to the sky and extends to the full height of the building.

1.6 TUDOR REVIVAL
STYLE DESCRIPTION
The Tudor Revival architectural style, prevalent from 1910 to 1940, is inspired by the Tudor period in England, ranging from 1485 to 1603. It combines late medieval design with early Renaissance influences.
Birthed in the United States during the early 20th century, this style became popular for its distinctive character and strong connection to traditional European craftsmanship.
Often seen in suburban neighborhoods and estate homes, Tudor Revival architecture is distinguished by its steeply pitched gable roofs, decorative half-timbering with stucco or masonry infill, and tall, elaborate chimneys. Windows are typically narrow and grouped, featuring multi-pane or leaded glass.
Other key features include arched doorways, prominent cross gables, and the use of brick, stone, or wood detailing in order to create visual texture.
