Item: {{item.number}}
10 Public Comments
1.) Shout out to public works and Peggy Samantha responding to my request of burned-out median lamps in all 5 districts. I wonder why the councilman in their districts did not report.
2.) Shout out to D-3 Supervisor Don Wagner: The Board of Supervisors passed a vitally important resolution that will allow OC Public Works to abate weeds and combustible vegetation that create a fire hazard. This decision ensures proper measures are taken to mitigate fire dangers that threaten our community's safety.
3.) The Orange County Board of Supervisors on 04-08-25 approved a $4.5 million settlement with T-Mobile for its part in the setting of the 2020 Silverado fire.
4.) The county paid out $9.5 million to settle claims for the Airport Fire.
Nobody in county Government has been held accountable.
5.) The Aspan project, nobody has answered my question the budget for the demolition. Who is paying for this?
My lawyer has received confirmation from the California Civil Rights Department they have accepted my case against council members Robert Pequeno and Doug Cirbo. When contacted council members please reply to the questions asked from the California Civil Rights Department.
46. This is how many appearances Benjamin Miao Yu has made. Thursday April 17th at 1:30 PM will be his 47th appearance for his violation on 06-27- 23 for “corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant” With the councilman FINALLY enter a plea, or delay once again?
Council Comments at the end of the last meeting where they went to open houses, but no one mentioned the E-BRATS at the sports park, TARGET, WALMART.
Update about the E-BRATS Ad Hoc Committee?? It’s Spring Break their running wild!!!
0:40:00 Consensus ad hoc with mayor protem Pequeno to discuss policies with OCSD “Thanks for bringing to our attention” (code for, we won’t follow up) Item: {{item.number}}
11 0:40:42 D-2 councilman asked CM what is OCSD policy. Response “We have stats on calls for service and citations and anecdotal the deputies have been told that, ***“what the policy is I don’t know the policy and I would have to defer and come back to you on that.”***
0:41:00 Cheryl Gimdia “I’m just going to elaborate on what others have said, victim in my neighborhood
0:42:30 Voigts, “I didn’t know the problems at the sports park, and I didn’t know the sheriff’s department does not intercede and pursue, these are things we will follow up on.” We’re not supposed to have a dialog back and forth 0:42:48 D-5 Pequeno “as far as chasing e-bikes going to make things worse, chasing for a simple infraction will turn into something a lot bigger. Town hall later on this summer as far as chasing and pursuits, that’s a no go, only for felonies and not infractions.”
Why are you violating city ordinances and
being cited for traffic offenses recently?
Consent Calendar
#3 Minutes of the Strategic Planning Workshop March 25, 2025 I have reviewed and I believe we spent $$$ that was not necessary. $140K Tru North survey was the same from previous years. Although the cost keeps rising. I have lived in Foothill Ranch for 34 years and have never been contacted. The questions via telephone are long, and I can’t believe anyone can focus that long. I am still reviewing and will have a more in-depth analysis. What the main issue the community wants addressed is the HOMELESS. $41K Cultural Edge Consultants. What a debacle this was. Residents did not even know about the Civic Center. The participants were not aware of the city services. #4 Minutes of the last meeting held April 01, 2025

OF LAKE FOREST
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Approve the proclamation designating Tuesday, April 22, 2025, as Earth Day In the City of Lake Forest
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The attached proclamation recognizes April 22, 2025, as Earth Day in the City of Lake Forest (Attachment).
Senator Gaylord Nelson founded Earth Day in 1970. Fifty-five years later observance of Earth Day continues to bring awareness and appreciation for the Earth’s natural environment and gain national support for environmental issues.
Earth Day raises awareness that may ultimately help in the development of policies that protect our air, water, land, and wildlife.
In past years, the City Council supported the conservation of natural resources and the protection of the environment not only by its proclamations recognizing April 22 as Earth Day, but also in its efforts to provide information and encourage recycling through programs such as:
• Solid waste recycling and green waste collection
• Annual residential and commercial recycling education • Household hazardous waste collection events
• Expand the Forest Program
• Drought tolerant plant installation
• Turf replacement
• Mulch installation in planters
Staff recommend the City Council approve a proclamation designating April 22, 2025, as Earth Day in the City of Lake Forest.

IN THE CITY OF LAKE FOREST
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Approve a proclamation designating April 25, 2025, as National Arbor Day in the City of Lake Forest.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The attached proclamation recognizes the City of Lake Forest's annual observance of National Arbor Day. Nationally the most common date for observance of Arbor Day is the last Friday in April. This year, National Arbor Day takes place on Friday, April 25, 2025. Arbor Day was first proposed as a tree-planting holiday in 1854 by J. Sterling Morton and was officially proclaimed a state holiday in 1872 by Nebraska Governor Robert W. Furnas. An estimated one million trees were planted in Nebraska on the first Arbor Day. By the 1920s, the observance of Arbor Day became a national event. National Arbor Day celebrates the planting, upkeep, and preservation of trees. Trees provide clean air and water, cooling shade, habitat for wildlife, and natural beauty in our community. Staff recommend the City Council approve a proclamation designating April 25, 2025, as National Arbor Day in the City of Lake Forest.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

SUBJECT:
SECOND AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT FOR TRAFFIC SIGNAL
MANAGEMENT SERVICES WITH ITERIS, INC.
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
1. Approve the Second Amendment to the Professional Consultant Services Agreement with Iteris, Inc. for Traffic Signal Management Services.
2. Authorize the Mayor to sign, and the City Clerk to attest the Second Amendment to the Professional Consultant Services Agreement with Iteris, Inc., substantially in the form attached.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City of Lake Forest uses a contract consultant to provide traffic signal management services overseen by the City’s in-house Traffic Engineering Manager. Iteris, Inc. (“Iteris”) was awarded a Professional Consultant Services Agreement (“Agreement”) to provide traffic signal management services for an initial three-year term with an option of two one-year term amendments. The three-year term started on July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2024, with a total compensation of $352,000 (Attachment 1). The agreement was amended once and included an additional $300,000 in compensation and a one-year term extension ending on June 30, 2025 (Attachment 2).
Staff recommend the City Council approve the Second Amendment to the Agreement with Iteris to increase the total compensation of the contract to $962,000 and extend the term of the agreement through June 30, 2026. The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the agreement as to form. Sufficient funds would be requested with the 2025-2027 Operating Budget and the 2025- 2032 Capital Improvement Plan for the recommended action.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Lake Forest uses a contract consultant to provide traffic signal management services. In June 2021, the City Council awarded an agreement to Iteris in the amount of $352,000 to provide traffic signal management services.
Item: 7
58 Per the agreement, Iteris provides technical support for the Traffic Engineering Manager, which includes managing, developing, monitoring, and collecting data for traffic signal operations and maintenance. The agreement with Iteris is over a three-year term with an option for two one-year amendments.
In December 2023, the City Council awarded a First Amendment to the Agreement with Iteris to increase total compensation by $300,000 and extend the agreement term to June 30, 2025, to provide additional technical support. Per the Agreement, one additional term extension is available for consideration.
DISCUSSION:
The Scope of Work for Traffic Signal Management Services includes a variety of services to assist the Traffic Engineering Division. The services include preparing routine and special traffic signal related engineering studies, design services, development reviews, traffic signal monitoring and operations, Capital Improvement Program (“CIP”) project reviews, traffic signal final inspection and testing, and other related work.
As anticipated within the 2025-2027 Operating Budget, work to be assigned to Iteris, Inc. over the next year includes:
• Development Review – This work, up to $20,000, includes reviews associated with major developments such as The Meadows as well as various industrial developments.
• CIP Review – This work, up to $140,000, includes reviewing the traffic signal portion of project design plans and project specifications, providing construction engineering support, and completing traffic signal inspection and testing for current and upcoming street and traffic related CIP projects.
Current and upcoming street and traffic related CIP projects include the following traffic projects:
• Lake Forest Transportation Mitigation (“LFTM”) Program Projects o Bake Parkway and Trabuco Road/Irvine Boulevard
Widening Project
o Bake Parkway and Jeronimo Road Widening Project
o Lake Forest Drive and Jeronimo Road Widening Project
o Lake Forest Drive and Rancho Parkway De-Facto Lane
Project
o Los Alisos Boulevard / Rockfield Boulevard De-Facto Lane Project
Item: 7
59 • Foothill Circulation Phasing Plan (“FCPP”)
o El Toro Road and Jeronimo Road Realignment Project
o El Toro Raised Medians Project
o Los Alisos Boulevard and Muirlands Boulevard Widening Project
• Developer Funded Projects
o Bake Parkway and Toledo Way Widening Project
• Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (“TSSP”) Projects o Alton Parkway TSSP
o Bake Parkway / Rockfield Boulevard TSSP
o Irvine Boulevard / Trabuco Road TSSP
o Portola Parkway TSSP
o Countywide Baseline TSSP
• Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”) Funded Projects o Accessible Pedestrian Signal Systems Projects
• Traffic Signal Management Staff Support – This work, up to $100,000, includes assistance with managing and supporting the centralized traffic management center, also known as the City of Lake Forest Traffic Management Center, and responding to citizen inquiries regarding traffic signal operations.
• Level of Service (“LOS”) Study – This work, up to $50,000, would provide contract authority for the LOS study which calculates the efficiency of the operations of a given signalized intersection. Staff utilize LOS to monitor and improve efficiency and overall traffic flow throughout the city.
Staff recommend an increase of $310,000 in compensation and an additional year of service in the proposed Second Amendment to the Agreement.
Vendor Performance Assessment
Pursuant to the City’s Purchasing and Contract Guidelines, staff completes vendor performance assessment during the preparation of a proposed contract amendment. The vendor performance assessment is used as a guide to determine whether a contract should be amended, renewed, or terminated based on performance in the following categories: performance of scope of services; timeliness; budget performance; and customer service. Utilizing an evaluation form, staff rates the consultant in each category as shown in Table 1.
Item: 7

Timeliness ☐Unsatisfied ☐Satisfied ☒Very Satisfied ☐N/A Budget Performance ☐Unsatisfied ☐Satisfied ☒Very Satisfied ☐N/A Customer Service ☐Unsatisfied ☐Satisfied ☒Very Satisfied ☐N/A The chart above provides an overall summary of Iteris’ performance during the evaluation period and the duration of the original agreement. Iteris received an overall rating of “very satisfied” on this assessment, which means Iteris is eligible for an amendment.
The proposed amendment includes a 3% increase to hourly rates that would start in Year 5 of the agreement, beginning July 1, 2025. This rate adjustment is consistent and lower than the current Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) adjustment increases of 3.4% over the past year.
Therefore, staff recommend the City Council approve the proposed Second Amendment to the Agreement with Iteris to increase the total compensation under the agreement by $310,000 for a new total not to exceed amount of $962,000 and to extend the term of the agreement to June 30, 2026 (Attachment 3). The Finance department reviewed the proposed Second Amendment, and the City Attorney has reviewed and approved the agreement as to form.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed First Amendment to the Agreement with Iteris Inc. would increase the contract authority by $310,000 to bring the total not-to-exceed compensation amount of the agreement to $962,000. The proposed amendment also includes a 3% increase to hourly rates for the one-year extension.
Sufficient funds will be requested in the 2025-2027 Operating Budget and the 2025-2032 Capital Improvement Plan to cover the costs of the recommended action.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 4/15/2025
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUBJECT:
FIRST AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT WITH GMU GEOTECHNICAL, INC.,
FOR ON-CALL GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
1. Approve the First Amendment to the Agreement with GMU Geotechnical, Inc., for on-call geotechnical services.
2. Authorize the Mayor to sign, and the City Clerk to attest, the First Amendment to the Agreement with GMU Geotechnical, Inc.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
GMU Geotechnical, Inc. (“GMU”) is currently under a Professional Services Agreement (“Agreement”) with the City to provide on-call third-party review of geotechnical work as needed within the city. Their largest task is performing geotechnical inspections for the grading and retaining wall work being performed at Portola Center’s northeast parcel. Staff anticipate the need for an additional $150,000 to be added to the agreement to allow them to complete the developer funded inspections for this on-going development.
The proposed amendment to the Agreement would increase total compensation by $150,000, raising the total agreement amount from $150,000 to $300,000.
The compensation rates would not change. This increase would provide contract authority for third-party review of grading, utility installations, structural backfill, and street improvements for Phase 2 operations at Portola Center’s northeast parcel, as well as geotechnical testing and support for various Capital Improvement Projects. The costs for third-party review would be offset by developer reimbursement, while geotechnical testing and support costs are covered within the respective capital project budgets. Staff recommend the City Council approve the proposed First Amendment to the Agreement with GMU.
BACKGROUND:
The City has three on-call geotechnical consultants, GMU, Item: 8
103
LGC Geotechnical, Inc. (“LGC”), and GEOCON West, Inc. (“GEOCON”), who provide on-call geotechnical consulting services. Staff requests proposals from these firms for third-party development review and capital project testing and support. Based on expertise and cost, staff recommends issuing a task order with the selected firm, subject to approval by the City Manager. On January 16, 2023, the City Council approved agreements with GMU, LGC and GEOCON in the amount of $150,000 to provide on-call third-party geotechnical services for residential development projects and on-call geotechnical testing and support for projects in the City’s Capital Improvement Program (Attachment 1).
Under the current contract, GMU continues to provide third-party geotechnical review for the Phase 2 Portola Center development in Portola Hills, where grading resumed in 2024. Additionally, GMU has assisted the City with the investigation of the trench failure at the El Toro/Portola Intersection improvements project, reviewed the microtrenching restoration policy for fiber internet installation, and conducted geotechnical testing for several capital improvement projects, including the Jeronimo/Muirlands Arterial Slurry Seal and for Zones A and D roadway repairs and slurry seal.
DISCUSSION:
It is anticipated that Phase 2 at Portola Center development will continue grading activities requiring third party inspection for at least the next 18 to 24 months.
Extensive grading and wall construction is still required before the remaining homes at the northeast parcel can be constructed. GMU is familiar with the work and has provided third party geotechnical review for the Portola Center project since the start of the development.
In addition, the City has several upcoming capital projects that will require geotechnical inspection and testing. GMU, along with the other geotechnical on-call firms, would provide cost proposals for these projects, with task orders issued to the selected geotechnical firm. The additional contract authority would allow GMU to both continue the Portola Center geotechnical review as well as be able to provide support for these capital projects.
The proposed First Amendment to the Agreement with GMU would increase the total compensation amount by $150,000 with the compensation rates unchanged for a total not-to-exceed amount of $300,000 (Attachment 2). The contract term remains the same, expiring January 17, 2026.
Pursuant to the City’s Purchasing and Contract Guidelines, staff completes a vendor performance assessment during a proposed contract amendment. The vendor performance assessment is used as a guide to determine whether a contract should be amended, renewed, or terminated based on performance in Item: 8
104
the following categories: performance of scope of services; timeliness; budget performance; and customer service. Utilizing an evaluation form, staff rates the consultant in each category.

The evaluation period for GMU is from the start of the contract term on January 18, 2023, through April 1, 2025. Staff is very satisfied with GMU’s performance through the term of the contract. The City Attorney’s Office reviewed and approved the First Amendment as to form.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed First Amendment would add $150,000 to the contract compensation for a total contract amount of $300,000, with the compensation rates unchanged. Sufficient funding is available in the FY 2023-25 Public Works Operating Budget and the 2023-2030 Capital Improvement Program Project budgets for the proposed increase.

MEETING DATE: 4/15/2025
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUBJECT:
SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH BRIGHTVIEW
LANDSCAPE SERVICES, INC., FOR LAKE FOREST CIVIC CENTER
LANDSCAPE AND STREETSCAPE MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
1. Approve the Second Amendment to the Agreement for Maintenance Services for Lake Forest Civic Center Landscape and Streetscape Maintenance Services with Brightview Landscape Services, Inc.
2. Authorize the Mayor to sign, and the City Clerk to attest, the Second Amendment substantially in the form attached.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Brightview Landscape Services, Inc. (“Brightview”) is the City’s current landscape maintenance contractor for Lake Forest Civic Center Landscape and Streetscape Maintenance Services. The original three-year Agreement for Maintenance Services with Brightview (“Agreement”) was approved by the City Council after the completion of a competitive Request for Proposal (“RFP”) process on June 18, 2021, with a compensation amount of $342,825 and two optional one-year extensions (Attachment 1). On April 16, 2024, the City Council approved the First Amendment to the agreement and added an additional year to the term of the Agreement at the City Council’s discretion (Attachment 2). The current compensation amount under the Agreement is $494,842.68.
The proposed Second Amendment to the Agreement (“Second Amendment”) would increase the compensation amount by $152,017.68 for a new total compensation amount of $646,860.36. This is the final extension available for this agreement. If approved, the new expiration date for the Agreement would be June 30, 2026. The proposed Second Amendment does not add scope or a Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) increase to rates. Sufficient funding would be included in the 2025-2027 Operating Budget to cover the costs of approving the Second Amendment. Staff recommend the City Council approve the proposed Second Amendment and authorize the Mayor to sign and the City Clerk to attest to the Second Amendment (Attachment 3). The proposed Second Amendment Item: 9
136
was prepared by the Finance department and approved as to form by the City Attorney.
BACKGROUND:
On June 18, 2021, the City Council approved a three-year Agreement with Brightview Landscape Services, Inc. for Lake Forest Civic Center Landscape and Streetscape Maintenance. The total compensation amount for the Agreement was $342,825, with a three-year term expiring June 30, 2024. The Agreement was amended in April 2024 with a new compensation amount of $494,842.68 and expiration date of June 30, 2025. The First Amendment added the Mitigation slope area and a CPI increase.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed Second Amendment with Brightview (Attachment 3) would add $152,017.68 for a new total compensation amount of $646,860.36. Staff believe that Brightview’s performance has met or exceeded the contract’s scope of work, and the responsibilities associated with landscape maintenance services. During the contract, Brightview demonstrated its willingness to respond quickly to requests for service and consistently completed all requested work in a professional manner. Brightview provides excellent customer service and has demonstrated a readiness to assist with special projects and after-hour emergencies.
The chart below provides an overall summary of the contractor’s performance since the start of the Agreement. Consistent with the City’s Purchasing Guidelines and following a vendor assessment (Table 1), staff recommends approval of the Second Amendment to the Agreement to ensure that the City retains the ability to continue performing landscape services at the Civic Center.

Public Comments
1.) Shout out to public works and Peggy Samantha responding to my request of burned-out median lamps in all 5 districts. I wonder why the councilman in their districts did not report.
2.) Shout out to D-3 Supervisor Don Wagner: The Board of Supervisors passed a vitally important resolution that will allow OC Public Works to abate weeds and combustible vegetation that create a fire hazard. This decision ensures proper measures are taken to mitigate fire dangers that threaten our community's safety.
3.) The Orange County Board of Supervisors on 04-08-25 approved a $4.5 million settlement with T-Mobile for its part in the setting of the 2020 Silverado fire.
4.) The county paid out $9.5 million to settle claims for the Airport Fire.
Nobody in county Government has been held accountable.
5.) The Aspan project, nobody has answered my question the budget for the demolition. Who is paying for this?
My lawyer has received confirmation from the California Civil Rights Department they have accepted my case against council members Robert Pequeno and Doug Cirbo. When contacted council members please reply to the questions asked from the California Civil Rights Department.
46. This is how many appearances Benjamin Miao Yu has made. Thursday April 17th at 1:30 PM will be his 47th appearance for his violation on 06-27- 23 for “corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant” With the councilman FINALLY enter a plea, or delay once again?
Council Comments at the end of the last meeting where they went to open houses, but no one mentioned the E-BRATS at the sports park, TARGET, WALMART.
Update about the E-BRATS Ad Hoc Committee?? It’s Spring Break their running wild!!!
0:40:00 Consensus ad hoc with mayor protem Pequeno to discuss policies with OCSD “Thanks for bringing to our attention” (code for, we won’t follow up) Item: 9
251
0:40:42 D-2 councilman asked CM what is OCSD policy. Response “We have stats on calls for service and citations and anecdotal the deputies have been told that, ***“what the policy is I don’t know the policy and I would have to defer and come back to you on that.”***
0:41:00 Cheryl Gimdia “I’m just going to elaborate on what others have said, victim in my neighborhood
0:42:30 Voigts, “I didn’t know the problems at the sports park, and I didn’t know the sheriff’s department does not intercede and pursue, these are things we will follow up on.” We’re not supposed to have a dialog back and forth 0:42:48 D-5 Pequeno “as far as chasing e-bikes going to make things worse, chasing for a simple infraction will turn into something a lot bigger. Town hall later on this summer as far as chasing and pursuits, that’s a no go, only for felonies and not infractions.”
Why are you violating city ordinances and
being cited for traffic offenses recently?
Consent Calendar
#3 Minutes of the Strategic Planning Workshop March 25, 2025 I have reviewed and I believe we spent $$$ that was not necessary. $140K Tru North survey was the same from previous years. Although the cost keeps rising. I have lived in Foothill Ranch for 34 years and have never been contacted. The questions via telephone are long, and I can’t believe anyone can focus that long. I am still reviewing and will have a more in-depth analysis. What the main issue the community wants addressed is the HOMELESS. $41K Cultural Edge Consultants. What a debacle this was. Residents did not even know about the Civic Center. The participants were not aware of the city services. #4 Minutes of the last meeting held April 01, 2025

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 4/15/2025
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUBJECT:
AWARD CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO FIELDTURF USA, INC. FOR LAKE
FOREST SPORTS PARK SYNTHETIC TURF REPLACEMENT PROJECT
(25P02)
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
1. Approve the use of the State of California Multiple Awards Schedule Agreement for the procurement process.
2. Award a contract in the amount of $1,107,402.23 to FieldTurf, USA, Inc. for the Lake Forest Sports Park Synthetic Turf Replacement Project (25P02).
3. Authorize the Mayor to sign, and the City Clerk to attest the contract with FieldTurf, USA, Inc.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Lake Forest Sports Park Synthetic Turf Replacement Project involves replacing the existing synthetic turf fields at the sports park, which have surpassed their expected eight-year lifespan and warranty period. The proposed fields would be substantially similar to the existing synthetic turf fields.
To ensure cost-effectiveness, staff propose using the same procurement methodology originally used to install the fields. Utilizing a California Multiple Award Schedule (“CMAS”) contract with FieldTurf, USA, Inc. (“FieldTurf”), would allow the City to access discounted, pre-negotiated pricing available to municipal agencies statewide (Attachment 1). This approach ensures cost savings, eliminates contractor markup, and preserves the manufacturer’s warranty by having FieldTurf complete the installation. The total project cost of $1,107,402.23 includes materials, labor, warranty, and installation. The project was included as part of the 2023-2030 Strategic Plan and the 2023-25 Capital Improvement Plan.
If approved, field replacement would take place over a three-week period in June 2025. Staff recommends the City Council approve the use of the State of California Multiple Awards Schedule Agreement and award the proposed construction contract to Field Turf USA, Inc., in the amount of $1,107,402.23.

On November 20, 2012, the City Council authorized the City Manager to approve the State of California Multiple Awards Schedule Agreement No. 4-06-78-0031A for the purchase and installation of two synthetic turf sports fields at the Lake Forest Sports Park. The agreement was awarded to FieldTurf USA, Inc. and was valued at $840,117. The City had procured the synthetic fields separately from the main sports park construction contract following a cost-saving value engineering analysis performed by the project engineer. The original bid documents from 2009 are attached for reference purposes (Attachment 2).
As the fields have passed their expected useful life of eight years, and the accompanying warranty has expired, staff proposes replacing the synthetic fields using the same procurement process as originally used, as part of Initiative SP#37 in the 2023-2030 Strategic Plan approved by the City Council. Based on the City’s Asset Management Plan and the synthetic turf fields’ current conditions, it is time to replace the turf which will in turn improve the overall park conditions citywide. The synthetic turf represents the largest current investment for improving current park conditions. By replacing the fields, the City would be making a substantial investment in the park system, avoid paying for future repairs, and improve the quality and safety of the play surfaces.
DISCUSSION:
The scope of work for the project consists of removing the existing turf fields, and replacing the synthetic turf material with the same existing product type manufactured and installed by FieldTurf (Vertex Prime 2”). The project includes minor regrading and recompacting once the turf is removed to ensure a proper installation base. The existing turf product has performed above expectations and has proven to be more durable than expected given its heavy utilization by sports field users, allowing the City to enjoy additional years of use beyond its expected useful life.
To procure the turf material and installation services, staff is proposing to utilize FieldTurf’s State of California Multiple Awards Schedule Agreement (Attachment 3) in lieu of soliciting bids from contractors. The CMAS is part of a cooperative purchasing program administered by the State of California General Services Department to allow all municipal agencies to benefit from competitively bid, volume priced, large volume contracts with contractors and suppliers. It was established under the California Public Contract Code (“PCC”) Sections 10290 et seq. and extended to local governments under PCC Sections 10298 and 10299.
Awarding directly to FieldTurf under the CMAS program ensures competitive pricing and proper installation without contractor markup. The CMAS proposal is Item: 10
261
attached (Attachment 4). Installation of the turf by FieldTurf is necessary to ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of the warranty, which is provided for a duration of eight years. If approved, the replacement turf would be installed over a three-week period tentatively scheduled for June 2025. The City Attorney reviewed and approved the contract as to form. Staff recommends the City Council approve the use of the State of California Multiple Awards Schedule Agreement and award the proposed construction contract to Field Turf USA, Inc., in the amount of $1,107,402.23.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total project cost is $1,107,402.23 and includes all materials and labor to complete the installation. The 2023-2030 Capital Improvement Plan budget currently has sufficient funds for the recommended actions.

SUBJECT:
BID DOCUMENTS FOR THE LAKE FOREST SPORTS PARK AND
RECREATION CENTER PROJECT PW 2009. 01
RECOMMENDED ACTION( S):
1 . Approve the construction plans and bid documents for the Lake Forest Sports Park Project PW 2009. 01 .
2. Authorize staff to solicit bids for construction.
3. Adopt a Resolution entitled: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF LAKE FOREST, CALIFORNIA, REGARDING THE SOLE
SOURCE PROCUREMENT OF AND INSTALLATION OF SYNTHETIC TURF THROUGH THE CMAS PURCHASING SYSTEM.
4. Authorize the City Manager to approve the State of California Multiple Awards Schedule Agreement No. 4- 06- 78- 0031A for the purchase and installation of synthetic turf materials for use in construction of two synthetic turf soccer fields.
5. Authorize the City Manager to approve an agreement for the City' s membership in The Interlocal Purchasing System and designate the Director of Public Works/City Engineer as the City' s primary contact for the TIPS program for the purchase of Musco sports field lighting equipment.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
RJM Design Group, Inc. (" RJM"), the lead consultant contracted by the City to advance the Lake Forest Sports Park (" Sports Park") and Recreation Center Recreation Center"), completed the final engineered construction plans and bid specifications. The project is now ready to bid. This project will construct five baseball/ softball diamonds, two synthetic turf soccer fields, three natural turf soccer fields with a 3- acre common lawn area for community events and practice fields, as well as a 27, 000 square foot recreation center with a gymnasium and classrooms. In addition, the Sports Park will include the following amenities:
Attachment 2
Item: 10
307
Two playgrounds and tot lots
Two site- built restroom and concession buildings
Two outdoor basketball courts
Eight covered gazebo picnic structures
Thirty-eight sports field lights
Extensive landscaping and over 2, 000 new trees
A maintenance yard
Sports equipment storage facility
Hiking trails that connect to the County' s regional trail system More than 500 parking spaces
The size and scope of the Lake Forest Sports Park will make it one of the largest in Orange County, and will serve as a recreational facility capable of hosting various sports tournaments and large community events. The Sports Park property encompasses a total of 86 acres, which includes 57 acres for active use and an additional 29 acres set aside for passive uses. Consistent with prior direction, and with approval by the City Council tonight, staff will bid out the Sports Park and Recreation Center for construction as one project.
The City' s Sports Park design consultant specified the use of a specific synthetic turf product ( FieldTurf USA) and sports field lighting equipment ( Musco Lighting).
The purchase of these items directly from the manufacturers would allow the City to ( 1 ) save money by avoiding contractor material purchase mark- up costs, and 2) ensures the City installs the best possible products for this project. The City can purchase synthetic field turf directly from FieldTurf USA, at a reduced cost, through a purchasing system called California Multiple Award Schedule CMAS"). The City also would be required to use a separate purchasing system called, The Interlocal Purchasing System ("TIPS") in order to purchase the Musco lighting products without a contractor' s markup.
Staff recommends the City Council authorize the solicitation of bids for construction of the Sports Park and Recreation Center projects. Additionally, after conducting a value- engineering analysis of materials and costs, staff recommends the City Council also adopt a resolution to acquire synthetic turf and field lights through a sole- source contract and authorize the City Manager to approve separate agreements with CMAS and TIPS to purchase the required materials at a discounted rate.
BACKGROUND:
On October 4, 2011 , the City Council approved the final Sports Park Master Plan and authorized staff to prepare the final engineered construction plans and bid Attachment 2
Item: 10
308
specifications for the planned Sports Park improvements (Attachment 1 ). On February 21 , 2012, the City Council approved the final conceptual plans for the planned recreation center and authorized staff to prepare the final engineered construction plans and bid specifications for that facility as well. Pursuant to City Council direction, the City' s design consultant merged both sets of plans and specifications into one final set of construction documents. Consequently, the successful contractor emerging from the bid process will construct the Sports Park and Recreation Center as one project.
DISCUSSION:
The design consultant developed the final construction plans and bid specifications based on the City Council approved conceptual plans. Consistent with these plans, the contractor would construct the Sports Park after the mass grading and construction of the backbone drainage infrastructure is complete.
Staff anticipates the grading work to be complete in May 2013. The project involves construction of the Sports Park improvements and Recreation Center on the 86- acre site. The design consultant created the plans and specifications with the intent that the City would award the construction contract to a single contractor responsible for completing the Sports Park and Recreation Center at the conclusion of the mass grading project. The plans are now complete and ready for bidding.
Value- Engineering Analysis:
Staff and the City' s design consultant and construction management team conducted extensive value engineering analyses during the design of the Sports Park project. The purpose of value engineering analysis is to increase the value of a finished product by improving function, reducing costs, and/or enhancing efficiencies. The designer then takes the results of that analysis and builds them into the final project design. One of the outcomes of the value engineering analysis resulted in the City' s design consultant specifying the use of a specific type of synthetic turf product and sports field lighting equipment.
Another aspect of the value engineering analysis identified a cost savings by purchasing and installing the synthetic turf materials and sports field lights specified for this project directly from the manufacturers as opposed to the contractor purchasing these items. Staff and the architect worked with the City Attorney' s Office to determine whether the direct- purchase of materials and products for use on the Sports Park project is consistent with the City' s Purchasing and Contracting Guidelines (" Purchasing Guidelines"). The City Attorney concluded that sole sourcing these materials, as discussed in detail below, is consistent with the Purchasing Guidelines.
Attachment 2
Item: 10
309
California Multiple Award Schedule (" CMAS")
CMAS is a purchasing program between the State of California and various participating product manufacturers, including synthetic turf manufacturers. The State manages and establishes costs for products purchased through the CMAS through a competitive bid process. Because the State manages the competitive bidding process, the CMAS allows public agencies to purchase products directly from manufacturers through this system without undertaking a separate bid process.
The large pool of public agencies within the CMAS creates an economy of scale, which allows manufacturers to sell in greater volume and pass that volume discount savings on to participating agencies. Public agencies achieve additional cost savings by avoiding contractor material mark- up costs that are common in the traditional bid process. A contractor will typically build a 15% material mark-up cost into bid item costs for products it has to purchase and install on the project. By purchasing products direct from manufacturers, agencies can avoid that mark- up cost, as the bid price provided for the contractor is limited to the installation cost.
FieldTurf USA - Synthetic Turf
The City' s Sports Park design consultant has designed numerous sports parks utilizing FieldTurf' s product and included FieldTurf as part of the specifications for the project. Staff's research found FieldTurf to be a proven, durable, high performance product. Additionally, FieldTurf was highly recommended to staff by other cities that installed this product on their synthetic fields. Staff and the City' s consultant analyzed the performance specifications for FieldTurf, as well as several other manufacturers and found FieldTurf to be a superior product. The use of synthetic soccer fields will preclude the need for annual maintenance field closures as required for natural turf sports fields. Based on this analysis, and feedback received from other agencies, staff concurred with the City' s consultant to specify the FieldTurf product for use on this project.
Staff estimates the City could save approximately $ 174, 320 by purchasing the synthetic turf, and its installation, directly from the manufacturer, FieldTurf USA.
Installation of the turf by FieldTurf USA is necessary to ensure maximum warranty protection to the City, and guarantee installation pursuant to manufacturer specifications. The purchase price also includes manufacturer maintenance of the fields for the duration of the eight- year warranty period.
Because the purchase of these materials through CMAS includes the actual installation, the State Contracting Code considers it a sole- source purchase.
Consequently, the City Council must first approve a resolution making a Attachment 2
Item: 10
310
determination that the sole- source purchase is in the City' s best interest for the reasons noted above (Attachment 2).
The purchase price of $840, 117 established through the CMAS bid includes taxes, performance, and payment bonds, insurance, grooming and maintenance equipment, and an eight- year warranty. Staff recommends the City Council authorize the City Manager to finalize a purchase agreement with FieldTurf USA for the purchase and installation of the synthetic turf material under the terms of the CMAS program (Attachment 3).
The Interlocal Purchasing System (" TIPS")
Like the CMAS system, TIPS is a purchasing system that allows public agencies to take advantage of a pooled competitive bid process to procure materials and products. The difference between CMAS and TIPS is that the State of Texas manages TIPS. Both CMAS and TIPS operate in the same fashion and provide the same benefits to public agencies. The value- engineering analysis recommended Musco Sports Lighting (" Musco") for the Sports Park project.
However, Musco participates in TIPS and not CMAS. Accordingly, staff proposes to purchase these lights direct from Musco through the TIPS program.
Musco Sports Lighting
As mentioned, the City' s design consultant recommended the use of Musco field light fixtures for this project. Musco is the most commonly used sports field lighting manufacturer with an excellent reputation for building quality products.
The City currently operates and maintains Musco lights at Etnies Skate Park and Heroes Park. In addition, the City recently installed a remote field lighting management system at Heroes Park that allows staff to manage the City' s existing sports field lights remotely to maximize energy savings. Staff would add the Musco lights proposed for the Sports Park to the City' s existing lighting system. Maintaining a uniform sports field lighting system facilitates the management and future maintenance of that system in contrast to utilizing multiple manufacturers and multiple systems.
Musco manufactures its product components as a complete system. However, Musco typically does not provide installation. Consequently, a separate contractor must install the Musco lights as specified in the bid documents.
Musco' s standard warranty is 25 years, which covers all parts, labor, and spot outages but does not provide replacement of burned- out bulbs. By purchasing the sports field lights direct from Musco at a cost of approximately $ 1 , 022, 332, the City can save an estimated $ 135, 980 on contractor material mark- up costs.
The procurement process for the Musco lights through TIPS is similar to the Attachment 2
Item: 10
311
CMAS procurement process. However, to utilize the program and purchase the lights direct from Musco, the City would need to become a member of TIPS by entering into the Interlocal Agreement (Attachment 4). The City Attorney reviewed and approved the City' s use of the Interlocal Agreement.
Since the purchase of the sports field lights includes the materials and not installation, the City Council is not required to adopt a separate sole- source procurement resolution. A separate contractor would complete the installation of the sports field lights as part of the Sports Park project. The bid price for installation will include trenching, boring, foundations, conduits, wiring, and all incidental equipment installation. The contractor will be required to coordinate with Musco to take delivery of the equipment for installation.
Recommendations
Given the scale of the project, staff' s analysis indicates that the City could potentially realize a cost savings, totaling approximately $ 310, 300, by purchasing the sports field lights and synthetic turf materials directly from the manufacturers.
Based on staff' s review of product specifications, and the design consultant' s extensive experience in working with these particular manufacturers, staff concurs that the City' s interest are best served by installing the products specified in the construction bid documents to construct a high- quality sports complex.
The plans are now complete and ready for bidding. Due to the size of the bid documents they are not attached; however, staff will display them in the City Council Chambers for review before and during the City Council Meeting. The bid documents include special provisions for construction materials and methods to be used on this project, as well as the City' s standard construction contract.
Attachment 5 contains the notice inviting bids, instructions to bidders and bid schedule for reference.
Staff recommends the City Council approve the construction plans and bid documents and direct staff to solicit bids for the construction of the Lake Forest Sports Park. In addition, staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution allowing the sole source procurement of the FieldTurf product and authorize the City Manager to enter into the CMAS and TIPS programs in order to procure directly the FieldTurf and Musco products. The City Attorney reviewed and approved the attached agreements.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with approval of the bid Attachment 2
Item: 10
312
documents and authorization of bidding. Staff would create Purchase Orders for the FieldTurf and Musco lighting products in the amounts of $ 840, 117 and 1 , 022, 332 respectively. These would serve to hold the price of the item and the City would only issue the Purchase Orders upon final approval to begin construction of the project. The current project schedule anticipates a bid opening in January, with a staff recommendation of a contract award in February 2013. At that time, staff will advise the City Council of the proposed not-to-exceed contract amount and confirm funding availability. Additionally, staff is currently updating the City' s Opportunities Study Projects Cash- Flow Model for consideration by the City Council before the award of the construction contract and direct purchases ( as described above) also to confirm sources and uses of funds related to the facilities.

RESOLUTION NO. 2012-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE FOREST,
CALIFORNIA, REGARDING THE SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT OF
AND INSTALLATION OF SYNTHETIC TURF THROUGH THE CMAS
PURCHASING SYSTEM
WHEREAS, the City of Lake Forest ("City") is undertaking a project entitled the Lake Forest Sports Park Project (" Project"); and
WHEREAS, the Project includes the procurement and installation of a synthetic turf field surface; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to California Public Contract Code sections 10289 and 10299, the State Department of General Services is authorized to establish master contracts entitled the California Multiple Award Schedule (" CMAS") for the procurement of goods and local agencies, including the City may then contract with suppliers awarded those contracts without further competitive bidding; and WHEREAS, the City has determined, based on its investigation of various options available for the procurement of a synthetic turf field surface, that it is in the City' s best to contract with FieldTurf USA Inc. (" FieldTurf') for the purchase of synthetic turf field surface pursuant to the CMAS program; and WHEREAS, in addition to procurement of materials, the City requires installation of the synthetic turf field surface as part of the Project; and WHEREAS, whereas, the City is generally required to award contracts for public works to the lowest bidder; however, competitive bidding is not required when a public agency determines it would produce no competitive advantage for the public agency, or competitive bids or proposals would be unavailing, or futile because the nature of the procurement would likely not induce third party bidders Graydon v. Pasadena Redevelopment Agency (1980) 104 Cal.App. 3d 631); and WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines all of the following:
a. The price per square foot proposal provided pursuant to the CMAS contract is inclusive of materials and installation costs; and Attachment 2
Item: 10
317
b. Installation of the synthetic turf field surface by installers authorized by FieldTurf is necessary to preserve maximum warranty protection to the City; and
c. Completion of installation by authorized installers will ensure installation is completed by qualified installers experienced with the FieldTurf product purchased; and
d. Contracting with FieldTurf for the installation of synthetic turf field surface purchased pursuant to CMAS will expedite completion of the synthetic turf field surface, which is to be coordinated with the contract for the Project,
such that competitive bidding would be unavailing and would not produce a competitive advantage to the City; and

EDUCATIONAL OR GOVERNMENT ENTITY Schools enter County- District Number and

The Texas Education Code § 8. 002 permits Regional Education Service Centers, at the direction of the Commissioner of Education, to provide services to assist school districts, colleges and universities in improving student performance and increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of school, college and university financial operations.
Government Authority:
Interlocal contracts in California are presumably authorized by the Joint Exercise of Powers Act JEPA"). CAL.GOV'T. CODE § 6500, et seq. JEPA provides that two or more public agencies by agreement may jointly exercise any power common to the contracting parties, even though one or more of the contracting agencies may be located outside California. CAL. GOV' T. CODE § 6502.
Public Agency" includes but is not limited to "the federal government or any federal department or agency, this state, another state or any state department or agency, a county, county board of education, county superintendent or schools, public district of this state or another state." CAL.
GOV' T. CODE § 6500. While a public school district is not specifically identified as a public agency under the JEPA, school districts are mentioned in other areas of the Act and § 6500 provides that the list is not inclusive. Accordingly, a public school district in California is permitted to participate in a joint powers agreement under the JEPA. Pursuant to the TICA, a Texas regional education service center is considered a political subdivision of the state of Texas; thus a Texas regional education service center would be considered a public agency for the purposes of JEPA. See TEX.
GOV' T CODE § 791. 003 ( 5).
California law provides that the governing boards of school districts have broad discretion in the expenditure of funds and in the operation of the school districts. CAL. EDUC. CODE § 35160. 1.
The Public Contract Code provides that the governing board of a school district, shall competitively let any contracts involving an expenditure of more than $ 50, 000 for the purchase of equipment, materials, supplies, services, except for construction, and repairs to the lowest responsible bidder.
CAL. PUB. CONT. CODE § 20111 ( a) and ( b). Accordingly, a school district in California could presumably purchase any of its goods and services from the cooperative as long as the cooperative' s competitive bidding procedures comply with California law or the value of the goods and services is less than $ 50, 000.
JFEPA provides that any agreements entered pursuant to the Act must state the purpose of the agreement or the power to be exercised and provide for the method by which purpose will be accomplished. CAL. GOV' T. CODE § 6503.

Title: Lake Forest Sports Park Synthetic Turf Replacement Project (25P02) 3 1. TERMS.
1.1. Compensation and Payment.
1.1.1 Prevailing Wages. Contractor is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Section 1720 et seq., and 1770 et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 16000 et seq., (“Prevailing Wage Laws”), which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements on “public works” and “maintenance” projects. Since the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and since the total compensation is $1,000 or more, Contractor agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws. City shall provide Contractor with a copy of the prevailing rates of per diem wages in effect at the commencement of this Contract upon request. Contractor shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft, classification or type of worker needed to execute the Services available to interested parties upon request, and shall post copies at Contractor’s principal place of business and at the project site. Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws. Contractor and any subcontractor shall forfeit a penalty of up to $200 per calendar day or portion thereof for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rates.
1.1.2 Apprenticeable Crafts. When Contractor employs workmen in an apprenticeable craft or trade, Contractor shall comply with the provisions of Section 1777.5 of the California Labor Code with respect to the employment of properly registered apprentices upon public works. The primary responsibility for compliance with said section for all apprenticeable occupations shall be with Contractor. The Contractor or any subcontractor that is determined by the Labor Commissioner to have knowingly violated Section 1777.5 shall forfeit as a civil penalty an amount not exceeding $100 for each full calendar day of noncompliance, or such greater amount as provided by law.
1.1.3 Hours of Work. Contractor is advised that eight (8) hours labor constitutes a legal day’s work. Pursuant to Section 1813 of the California Labor Code, Contractor shall forfeit a penalty of $25.00 per worker for each day that each worker is permitted to work more than eight (8) hours in any one calendar day and forty (40) hours in any one calendar week, except when payment for overtime is made at not less than one and one half (1 1/2) times the basic rate for that worker.
1.1.4 Payroll Records. Contractor and each subcontractor shall keep an accurate payroll record, showing the name, address, social security number, work classification, straight time and overtime hours worked each day and week, and the actual per diem wages paid to each journeyman, apprentice, worker, or other employee employed by him or her in connection with the public work. The payroll records shall be certified and shall be available for inspection at all reasonable hours at the principal office of Contractor in the manner provided in Labor Code section 1776. In the event of noncompliance with the requirements of this section, Contractor shall have 10 days in which to comply subsequent to receipt of written notice specifying in what respects such Contractor must comply with this section. Should noncompliance still be evident after such 10-day period, Contractor shall, as a penalty to City, forfeit not more than $100.00 for each calendar day or portion thereof, for each worker, until strict compliance is effectuated. The amount of the forfeiture is to be determined by the Labor Commissioner. A contractor who is found to have violated the provisions of law regarding wages on Docusign Envelope ID: F264418B-C4B0-43A2-9DE3-A0A746996B70 Item: 10 352
Title: Lake Forest Sports Park Synthetic Turf Replacement Project (25P02) 4 Public Works with the intent to defraud shall be ineligible to bid on Public Works contracts for a period of one to three years as determined by the Labor Commissioner. Upon the request of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, such penalties shall be withheld from progress payments then due. The responsibility for compliance with this section is on Contractor. The requirement to submit certified payroll records directly to the Labor Commissioner under Labor Code section 1771.4 shall not apply to work performed on a public works project that is exempt pursuant to the small project exemption specified in Labor Code Section 1771.4.
1.1.5 Contractor and Subcontractor Registration. Pursuant to Labor Code sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, all contractors and subcontractors that wish to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, or enter into a contract to perform public work must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. No bid will be accepted nor any contract entered into without proof of the contractor’s and subcontractors’ current registration with the Department of Industrial Relations to perform public work. Contractor is directed to review, fill out and execute the Public Works Contractor Registration Certification attached hereto as Exhibit “E” prior to contract execution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the contractor registration requirements mandated by Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1 shall not apply to work performed on a public works project that is exempt pursuant to the small project exemption specified in Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1.
1.1.6 Labor Compliance; Stop Orders. This Project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. It shall be the Contractor’s sole responsibility to evaluate and pay the cost of complying with all labor compliance requirements under this Contract and applicable law. Any stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations against Contractor or any subcontractor that affect Contractor’s performance of Work, including any delay, shall be Contractor’s sole responsibility. Any delay arising out of or resulting from such stop orders shall be considered Contractor caused delay subject to any applicable liquidated damages and shall not be compensable by the City. Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations against Contractor or any subcontractor.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 4/15/2025
DEPARTMENT: Finance
SUBJECT:
RESOLUTION UPDATING FEES AND CHARGES FOR VARIOUS MUNICIPAL
SERVICES
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Adopt a Resolution entitled: “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF LAKE FOREST, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING UPDATED FEES AND CHARGES FOR VARIOUS MUNICIPAL SERVICES.”
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On May 7, 2024, the City Council adopted a comprehensive update to the City's Master Fee Schedule following a public hearing. Pursuant to the City’s Financial Management and Budgetary Policy, the City completes a comprehensive user fee study at least every five years, with incremental updates occurring in the years in between comprehensive studies. The goal of the current update is to improve the recovery of City costs, supporting fiscal sustainability and consistent service levels.
Staff recommend the City Council adopt the attached draft Resolution (Attachment 1), updating the Master Fee Schedule to reflect inflationary adjustments, to be effective July 1, 2025.
BACKGROUND:
On May 7, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution 2024-11, updating fees, charges, and deposits for various municipal services based on the findings of a comprehensive user and regulatory fee study (“Fee Study”). The updated fees reflect the estimated reasonable cost of providing those services for which fees are charged. The Fee Study, conducted by ClearSource Consulting, included a cost allocation plan for general governmental expenses and a cost-of-service analysis that accounted for staffing and time needed to deliver municipal services. The findings led to a comprehensive update to the Master Fee Schedule presented to the City Council for approval following a public hearing.
The comprehensive update to the Master Fee Schedule went into effect July 8, 2024.
Item: 11
362
DISCUSSION:
The Master Fee Schedule is intended to be reviewed annually by City staff as part of the normal course of operations. Pursuant to the City’s Financial Management and Budgetary Policy, the City completes a comprehensive user fee study at least every five years, with incremental updates occurring in the years in between comprehensive studies. This update represents an interim year update with minor, incremental, changes proposed that incorporate feedback received during prior fee studies and feedback received subsequent to adoption of the City’s current Master Fee Schedule.
During interim years (i.e., during years in between comprehensive fee studies) the City Council has authorized inflationary adjustments to fees. The inflationary adjustments are based on the annual percentage change in the all-urban Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA (“CPI”). For FY 2025-26, the annual percentage change in CPI was
3.3%.
In addition to the proposed updated fees based on CPI adjustments, the following are new and removed fees proposed with the updated Master Fee Schedule (Attachments 2 and 3):
New Fees
An appeal hearing fee of $85 (Planning).
A Commercial Vending Vehicles Permit fee of $189 for the initial permit and $95 for renewal (Public Works).
Removed Fees
The Cyber Café License Fee was removed (Planning).
If adopted by the City Council, staff recommend making any fee changes effective July 1, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed fee changes are intended to reflect the gradual increase in costs due to inflationary pressures. Recalibration of these fees simply provides an offset of existing expenditures/needs rather than a source of funding for expanded service levels. Thus, there is no net incremental revenue expected.

SHOPPING CENTER ANALYSIS RESULTS PRESENTED BY KOSMONT
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Receive and file the presentation.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Economic Development Division (“Division”) is focused on business attraction, retention, and expansion. A key finding from the 2023 Community Satisfaction Survey highlighted attracting new restaurants and stores as a priority for residents. In response, the City of Lake Forest (“City”) incorporated Initiative SP #14 – Shopping Center Study, into its Strategic Business Plan, adopted June 20, 2023. This initiative aims to assess the current retail landscape, incorporate community feedback, and identify opportunities to promote economic growth and attract new businesses.
In December 2023, the City initiated a Request for Proposal (“RFP”) process to engage a qualified consultant for the study. Following a competitive evaluation, the City Council awarded the Professional Consultant Services Agreement (“Agreement”) for Shopping Center Analysis Consulting Services to Kosmont Companies (“Kosmont”) on May 5, 2024. Kosmont’s proven expertise and successful track record in working with cities were key factors in the selection.
On August 20, 2024, Kosmont presented the retail market analysis kickoff for the City Council. Topics included an overview of the scope of services, resident demographic data, and a preliminary market overview. On December 17, 2024, Kosmont provided an update on the project’s progress. Tonight, Kosmont will provide a high-level overview of the key results gathered from the analysis.

Lake Forest Shopping Center Analysis Executive Summary
Disclaimer: The analyses, projections, assumptions, rates of return, and any examples presented herein are for illustrative purposes and are not a guarantee of actual and/or future results. Actual results may differ from those expressed in this analysis, as results are difficult to predict as a function of market conditions, natural disasters, pandemics, significant economic impacts, legislation and administrative actions.
INTRODUCTION
Kosmont Companies (“Kosmont”) was hired by the City of Lake Forest (“City”) to prepare a Shopping Center Analysis (“Analysis”) that included the following elements:
- Demographic and Economic Profile of the City
- Retail Market Analysis to evaluate market conditions
- Assessment of retail leakage and frequency of visits by residents - Profile of 18 designated shopping centers to understand current conditions and opportunities
- Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (“SWOT”) Analysis of six (6) identified shopping centers located within the City’s mixed-use zones, examining potential for a blending of uses
- Engagement with brokers and local businesses to understand the strengths and challenges facing the City’s shopping centers
- Overview of economic development strategies and action items / next steps Kosmont commends the City in undertaking this important Analysis. The City should be experts in market conditions/trends, along with its own demographics, retail market metrics, and status of properties, projects, and stakeholders. This knowledge is critical and allows the City to make targeted, strategic, economic development decisions.
Retail and land uses are evolving at a rapid pace with online sales reaching an all-time high and consumers leveraging technology and emphasizing convenience. This, in turn, impacts retail business models and formats. The public sector needs to maintain strong relationships with private investment partners led by developers, owners, brokers, retailers/businesses to further economic development.
The City contains a strong stock of desired retail that is well-located with low vacancy, however there is competition from surrounding communities. Thus, it is imperative for the City to remain flexible from a zoning perspective, such as providing overlay zones (e.g., the City’s Mixed-Use zoning amendment in 2022) or density bonuses to promote residential and blended uses, as well as being business-friendly through proactive business expansion, attraction, and retention.
Key findings from each section are summarized below.

Demographic and Economic Profile
Lake Forest is home to approximately 88,800 residents and demonstrates strong demographic and economic indicators. The average household income is $180,888, exceeding both Orange County and California averages. The City also has a highly educated population, with over 53% of adults holding at least a bachelor’s degree and 18% having earned graduate or professional degrees, contributing to a skilled local workforce.
The City's economy is geographically concentrated in the northeast, particularly around Bake Parkway, Alton Parkway, and along the 241 Toll Road, where business and industrial parks thrive.
These areas highlight Lake Forest’s balanced economy with strong professional and industrial sectors. Despite a net workforce outflow of about 3,900 workers—due to more residents commuting out than in—the City remains economically resilient. Sales tax revenue grew 27% from 2013 to 2023, rebounding strongly from a 20% pandemic-related dip to reach $15.6 million in 2023. Consumer spending is robust, with households spending over $1 billion annually, averaging $33,400 per household, primarily on groceries, dining out, and entertainment.
Retail Market Analysis
The City boasts a robust and resilient retail market, encompassing approximately 4.2 million square feet of retail space—66% of the total within its broader Submarket. With 44 distinct shopping centers, including new mixed-use developments like Portola Retail Center, the City offers a diverse and growing retail landscape. Despite a low reported vacancy rate of 2.8%, a detailed reconciliation raised the true figure to 6.6% due to recent closures of national big-box tenants. Nevertheless, most vacant spaces are currently being marketed or are under negotiation, signaling ongoing market vitality and strong leasing potential.
Over the past decade, Lake Forest has demonstrated economic strength and adaptability, with 156,650 square feet of net positive absorption and steadily rising retail rents—outpacing both Submarket and County averages. The City’s strategic developments, such as Baker Ranch and Lake Forest Gateway, have added modern retail supply and attracted key tenants like Aldi.
Residents actively support both local and regional retailers, with dining and grocery preferences spread across national chains and neighborhood staples. However, the City experiences significant retail leakage to surrounding areas like Irvine and Mission Viejo, especially in categories such as groceries, restaurants, and apparel. The Irvine Spectrum Center alone attracts nearly one million visits annually from Lake Forest residents.
To mitigate leakage and enhance its retail ecosystem, Lake Forest should focus on expanding grocery and full-service restaurant options, increasing specialty and entertainment retail, and supporting local businesses in adopting e-commerce strategies. These efforts will position the Item: 12

City to capture more local spending, draw regional shoppers, and strengthen its overall economic base.
Shopping Center Analysis
Kosmont conducted an in-depth evaluation of 18 shopping centers in Lake Forest, totaling 2.3 million square feet. Each center was assessed based on surrounding retail conditions, historical performance, visitation trends, and redevelopment opportunities.
Several centers are aging, with many built in the 1970s and 1980s and lacking recent upgrades.
High-traffic areas near the 241 Toll Road, 5 Freeway, Lake Forest Drive, and El Toro Road support stronger retail performance. Conversely, centers with poor visibility and low traffic counts generally experience higher vacancy rates.
Challenges include issues with the unhoused population and loitering near freeway-adjacent centers, and difficulties coordinating improvements across properties with multiple landowners due to conflicting interests and restrictive CC&Rs. However, City programs like the Buy One Get One (BOGO) Gift Card Program have successfully boosted local spending. Additionally, property managers and brokers suggest that City-led façade improvement initiatives could incentivize revitalization of aging retail assets.
Mixed-Use SWOT Analysis
A Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (“SWOT”) Analysis was conducted on six shopping centers located within Lake Forest’s mixed-use zoning areas to evaluate their redevelopment potential. Centers situated near the 241 Toll Road and 5 Freeway were identified as having strong visibility and high traffic volumes, making them prime candidates for mixed-use redevelopment with residential components.
Three centers—Foothill Ranch Town Centre, Rockfield Place, and El Toro Auto Center—were highlighted as the most promising for transformation under the City’s Mixed-Use Zoning. These sites could support residential densities ranging from 25 to 43 dwelling units per acre. However, redevelopment efforts may be complicated by challenges such as existing long-term leases, CC&Rs, and multiple ownership structures that can hinder site assembly and project execution.
Community Outreach / Engagement
Kosmont conducted extensive outreach with brokers, property managers, and local businesses to evaluate the performance and challenges of shopping centers across Lake Forest. Overall, the City’s retail market remains strong, with high occupancies and sustained interest from expanding retailers, particularly in centers with high visibility and strong traffic along El Toro Road, Rockfield Avenue, and near major freeways (CA-241 and I-5).

Despite this strength, several challenges were identified. These include aging shopping centers with outdated facades and layouts, long-term leases and CC&Rs that hinder redevelopment, and issues related to multiple ownership structures. Market shifts have also impacted certain tenant categories, particularly in discount retail, entertainment, and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, retail leakage to nearby cities like Irvine and Mission Viejo and concerns related to unhoused populations near freeway-adjacent centers are affecting tenant and customer experience.
Opportunities for revitalization include continued collaboration between the City and retail stakeholders, implementing façade improvement programs, addressing safety and homelessness concerns, and extending successful local programs like the Buy One, Get One (“BOGO”) initiative to boost local spending and enhance shopping center performance.
Economic Development Strategies
To support long-term economic vitality and enhance its retail landscape, the City can implement a variety of economic development strategies outlined by Kosmont. These include real estate-based initiatives such as Business Expansion, Attraction, and Retention (“BEAR”), Value Capture Zoning, Tax Increment Financing (TIF) districts, and leveraging state and federal grant funding for infrastructure and sustainability projects.
In the near term, BEAR is recommended as a key strategy to strengthen Lake Forest’s retail centers. This approach emphasizes proactive engagement with property owners, brokers, and developers to identify opportunities and support projects aligned with community goals. Tactics include maintaining strong relationships with major sales tax generators, promoting façade and signage improvements, and positioning the City as a business-friendly destination through targeted marketing, site tours, and participation in key industry events like Innovating Commerce Serving Communities, formerly International Council of Shopping Centers (“ICSC”) conferences.
Recommended next steps for the City include:
1. Strengthening relationships with the retail real estate community to address vacancies.
2. Creating marketing materials and conducting outreach in advance of the ICSC Las Vegas conference.
3. Launching technical assistance and incentive programs to support high-vacancy centers and commercial corridors.
4. Streamlining permitting and regulatory processes to make the City more attractive for current and prospective businesses.
These strategies position Lake Forest to proactively shape its retail future and support a thriving, competitive local economy.

DEMOGRAPHIC & ECONOMIC PROFILE
The Demographic & Economic Profile is divided into three sections: City Revenue Information, Population and Household Demographics, and Unemployment and Employment by Industry. In the first section, Kosmont examined the City’s General Fund tax revenue structure, with a special attention to property tax, sales and use tax, and hotel transient occupancy tax (“TOT”).
Additionally, Kosmont also observed sales and use tax revenues over a ten-year period and retail sales by retail category over a five-year span. The second section analyzes major demographic variables such as population, education, and incomes, comparing the City to Orange County and the State of California. The last section compares the unemployment rates of Lake Forest, Orange County, and the State and examines the top industries that employ the most people in the City and which of those industries are projected to grow in the future.
The following demographic and economic data were accessed from the following sources: ESRI Business Analyst Online, the U.S. Census Bureau, California Department of Finance, the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, as well as the California Employment Development Department.
City Revenue Information
In 2023 the City exhibited a slightly more diversified General Fund tax revenue structure compared to the average across California cities. Property taxes made up 34.7% of the City’s revenues, while sales and use taxes contributed 27.6%, and TOT added another 8.4%. This contrasts with the broader California average, where property taxes represent a more dominant
40.3% of revenues and sales/use taxes are less prominent at 21.4%. However, TOT is only slightly lower across all California cities at 6.8%. Lake Forest’s revenue composition illustrates a healthy distribution across multiple income streams, reducing reliance on any single tax source.
Between 2018 and 2023, Lake Forest experienced notable growth in its tax revenue streams.
Property taxes and TOT showed significant climbs, growing by 36% and 53%, respectively. Sales and use tax revenues grew by 19% during the same period. The increase in property tax revenue mirrors that of Orange County (32% increase), however, sales and use tax and TOT revenues showed opposite levels of growth compared to Lake Forest. Across Orange County sales and use tax and TOT grew by 37% and 35%, respectively.
Overall, Lake Forest’s tax revenues grew by ~$13.7 million from 2018 to 2023. In the observed period, property tax share of the City’s General Fund tax revenues grew by 9%, while TOT grew by a significant 22%. Sales and use tax revenues comprised a smaller share of the City’s General Fund tax revenues in 2023, decreasing by 5% since 2018.
Looking at retail sales by category from 2018 to 2023, Lake Forest saw a 9% overall increase. The most notable gains were in food and beverage stores, which rose by 51%, followed by home Item: 12

furnishings (34%) and motor vehicle dealers (31%). However, this growth was offset to some extent by a steep 26% decline in the “other retail outlets” category. These results suggest that consumer spending has shifted towards essentials and durable goods where access and convenience to these types of products has become essential for the consumer (e.g. Buy-Online, Pick-up In Store (BOPIS) or same-day/overnight delivery of goods).
The City’s sales tax performance over a longer horizon, from 2013 to 2023, reflects strong economic resilience. Despite a 20% drop in sales tax revenues during the COVID-19 pandemic, Lake Forest rebounded quickly, with revenues reaching $15.6 million in 2023. This 27% growth over the decade aligns with broader state recovery patterns, reinforcing the strength and adaptability of Lake Forest’s local economy.
Population and Household Demographics
In 2024, Lake Forest is home to 88,804 residents across 31,001 households, with an average household size of 2.83. The City has a slightly older demographic, with a median age of 40.6, compared to 39.8 in Orange County and 38.4 in California. Educational attainment is a standout feature, as nearly 54% of residents hold at least a bachelor’s degree—substantially higher than county and state averages. Additionally, the Hispanic population makes up 26.3% of the City, which is lower than the proportions seen in both Orange County (34.8%) and California (40.7%).
Income levels in Lake Forest further underscore its affluence. The median household income is $136,560, and the average income soars to $180,888, surpassing regional and statewide averages. Nearly two-thirds (64%) of households earn over $100,000 annually, and almost one-third (31%) earn more than $200,000. The City’s per capita income stands at $63,672, reinforcing a strong local economy and a high standard of living for its residents.
The housing landscape in Lake Forest is marked by high homeownership and rising property values. Approximately 68% of housing units are owner-occupied—well above the rates in Orange County (53%) and California (51%)—while rental units comprise 29%, with only a 3% vacancy rate. Home values have steadily appreciated, reaching an average of $1.195 million in 2024, outpacing both the county ($1.157 million) and state ($786,000) averages. The City’s average household size aligns closely with regional norms, further supporting a stable residential base.
Lake Forest’s workforce is highly educated and well-positioned for economic growth. With more than 53% of adults holding a bachelor’s degree or higher and 18% having a graduate or professional degree, the City presents a strong talent pool for employers. This educational advantage supports economic vitality and attracts business investment, making Lake Forest a desirable community for both living and working.
Consumer behavior in Lake Forest reflects its economic strength. Households collectively spend over $1 billion annually on retail goods and services, averaging $33,400 per household. Key spending categories include food at home ($10,006), dining out ($5,612), and entertainment Item: 12

($5,593). This substantial level of consumer expenditure highlights the City’s vital role in supporting local retail and underlines the importance of brick-and-mortar establishments within the local economy.
Unemployment and Employment by Industry
As of June 2024, Lake Forest maintains a healthy unemployment rate of 3.8%, outperforming both Orange County (4.0%) and California (5.3%). This trend of low unemployment has been consistent over time, with only temporary spikes during major economic downturns like the COVID-19 pandemic. These figures reflect a stable and diversified local economy, supported by a broad employment base across various industries.
Lake Forest exhibits a well-balanced employment landscape. For residents, the largest sectors include health care (13%), professional and scientific services (11.5%), and retail trade (8.7%).
Within the City limits, employment is most concentrated in finance and insurance (11.2%), manufacturing (11.2%), and professional/scientific services (10.5%). This dual-sector strength— across both white-collar and industrial fields—reinforces the City’s economic versatility and capacity for sustainable job growth.
Geographically, job hubs in Lake Forest are located in the northeast around Bake Parkway and Alton Parkway, particularly along the 241 Toll Road, where business and industrial parks are situated. These employment centers align well with the City's residential density, which clusters near key transit routes like the 5 Freeway and central corridors. This alignment facilitates efficient commuting and supports the City’s overall accessibility and economic productivity.
Lake Forest experiences significant daily workforce movement, with 34,731 individuals commuting into the City for work and 38,704 residents commuting out—resulting in a net outflow of 3,973 workers. Major job inflows originate from nearby cities like Irvine, Santa Ana, and Mission Viejo, while most outbound commuters head to Irvine, Los Angeles, and Santa Ana.
Prominent local employers, including Oakley Inc., Applied Medical, and Bal Seal Engineering, play key roles in anchoring the City’s employment base.
Looking ahead, Lake Forest stands to benefit from the projected regional employment growth in Orange County by 2030. The fastest growing industries in Orange County by number of jobs includes Professional and Business Services; Trade, Transportation, and Utilities; Health Care and Social Assistance; Leisure and Hospitality; and Government. Three of the top five industries that employ the most people in Lake Forest (Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services; Health Care and Social Assistance; and Finance and Insurance [within Professional and Business Services]) fall within these five fast-growing categories. Given this, Lake Forest is well-positioned for sustainable economic development and increased job opportunities.

RETAIL MARKET ANALYSIS
The Retail Market Analysis begins by offering an overview of recent broader market trends, with particular attention to how the COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped cities' approaches to various asset classes, with a strong focus on the retail market. It then shifts to an examination of the retail market in the City.
Recent Market Trends
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated existing trends and reshaped the way cities consider land use. Key trends for each land use are outlined below.
- Retail: Retail has been an ever-evolving asset class and changed significantly prior to (and following) the pandemic. The United States is significantly over-retailed (with over 23 square feet (“SF”) of shopping center space per capita). In order to adapt to the growing presence of online retailers and e-commerce, several brick-and-mortar retailers began reducing their physical footprint in favor of developing omni channeling strategies to offer a seamless shopping experience to consumers whether via in-person or online modes of shopping. Additionally, as many big-box anchors at shopping centers across the country began shutting, shopping center developers and owners have reimagined many of these buildings from pure retail to a blend of uses, including residential and industrial.
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated these trends as people were quarantined at home and began relying on e-commerce and online retailers. For example, e-commerce sales in the United States grew by 42% from 2019 to 2020. E-commerce sales continued to exhibit growth in the following years with e-commerce sales reaching 17% of total retail sales in 2023. Additionally, e-commerce represented approximately 46% of the total retail sales growth in the same year. Online shopping behaviors are unlikely to change given rapid delivery options, including same-day delivery by several e-commerce retailers. The types of retail that continue to grow and remain in demand include trip-generating uses, such as entertainment, experience, and essentials (e.g., restaurants, bars, grocery).
Kosmont also estimated the impact e-commerce has on physical retail space by estimating the average e-commerce sales per household and the total e-commerce sales across all households in the City. The average household in Lake Forest spent ~$7,370 per year on e-commerce, which is equivalent to approximately 18 SF of retail space per household (assuming retail sales average ~$400 per square foot). On a City-wide basis, the 31,000 households in Lake Forest spend ~$228 million on e-commerce, translating to 571,200 SF of retail space. Assuming a typical Floor Area Ratio of 0.25, 52.5 acres of developable commercially-zoned land would be needed to accommodate this level of retail space. Hence, while e-commerce is generating increasing revenue to the City via the County Pool, it also lessens the need for additional retail space in the market. - Office: Office leasing activity dropped as remote work became the new normal during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research has shown that while work-from-home days have dropped Item: 12

from the pandemic high of 60%, employers are expecting an average of 2.3 work-from-home days per week, suggesting the hybrid home/office model is still being well-utilized post-pandemic. Telework and work-from-home options are reshaping the needs for office space and business districts. Office space appears to be moving closer to suburban areas or is being integrated into more blended use environments (developments that include complementary land uses e.g., commercial, residential, hospitality). - Industrial/Flex: The merging of retail and industrial uses via e-commerce is accelerating the growth of industrial/flex uses. Last-mile delivery and sorting facilities are in high demand as e-commerce retailers cannot thrive without a significant distribution network.
Additionally, flex space (space that is designed to be a versatile blend of industrial, office, research and development, incubator, tech, and retail-showroom) is a growing market. - Multifamily Residential: New housing can generate significant new tax revenues both directly via annual property taxes and indirectly via sales tax revenues as remote workers can alleviate traffic and increase spending to support local businesses. Additionally, e-commerce spending from residents will allow for a greater proportion of County Pool revenues to be distributed to the City. Given this, housing is not necessarily a net negative fiscal impact to a City, especially given rising property values for new construction. As work-from-home became the new normal, home office amenities are becoming increasingly important in both single family and multifamily residential projects. Lastly, as large retail centers are converting from pure retail centers to a blend of uses, we are beginning to see more residential uses within shopping centers. - Hospitality: The COVID-19 pandemic affected both business and leisure travel and thus significantly hurt the hospitality industry. However, as conferences and events are returning to in-person formats and leisure travel is rebounding, we are observing hotels approaching similar levels of occupancy as prior to the pandemic. Additionally, average daily rates (“ADR”) and revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) have increased gradually to offset the negative impacts of the pandemic.
Retail Market Analysis
The Retail Market Analysis evaluates the retail real estate markets, with a focus on key shopping centers. Observed geographies include the City, the Lake Forest / Foothill Ranch / Mission Viejo / Ladera Ranch / Coto de Caza / Rancho Santa Margarita Submarket (“Submarket”), and Orange County (See Figure 1). This analysis observes existing supply conditions for retail space for the most recent available quarter (Q4 2024, year-to-date [“YTD”]), as well as historical trends in vacancy and market asking rents on an annual basis over a ten-year period between 2013 and 2023.

Existing Conditions
The retail market in the City is strong, comprising approximately 4.2 million SF and accounting for 66% of the retail inventory within the broader Submarket. Out of this retail space, 3.7 million SF belong to the 44 distinct retail shopping centers in the City. The newest addition, Portola Retail Center, opened in 2023 and features ground-floor retail in a mixed-use development, with leasing opportunities ranging from 1,200 to 10,000 square feet at NNN rents of $42 per square foot.
According to CoStar, the City’s retail market has a low vacancy rate of 2.8% (See Table 1).
However, CoStar was unable to capture all vacancies, so a reconciliation analysis of vacant spaces among the designated 18 shopping centers was performed. Kosmont completed a local outreach effort with brokers and property manages that revealed an additional 156,400 SF of vacant space existing in the market, thus bringing the vacancy rate to 6.6%. The revised vacancy rate still indicates a relatively healthy retail market in the City. In discussions with brokers and property managers, many vacant properties are currently being marketed or are in negotiations with a potential tenant to fill the empty spaces.

Table 1: Retail Market Overview*
Note: *Vacancy rate and SF provided by Costar do not reflect all vacant spaces in the market. Market asking rents were observed to show the rental income that a property in the observed geographies would likely command in the open market. Negative net absorption refers to the fact that more tenants vacated retail space as opposed to renewing or expanding.
These vacancies were primarily comprised of national big-box retailers (e.g., 99 Cents Only Stores, and CVS Pharmacy) that recently closed due to financial strains. Although these vacancies have occurred, they provide an opportunity for expanding retailers. Most notably, the City has been a beneficiary of a recent Aldi that opened at the site of a former CVS Pharmacy at El Toro Plaza.
Historic Trends (2013-2023)
Despite some disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic—with negative net absorption in both 2020 and 2021—the market has demonstrated resilience. Over the past decade, Lake Forest has recorded a net positive absorption of 156,650 SF, and while vacancy has slightly increased from
2.3% in 2023 to 2.8%, the market remains notably tight. Vacancy levels remain more than 50% below those seen in the Submarket and 72% lower than the broader County average.
Retail rents in Lake Forest have shown steady growth since 2013, and by Q4 2023, asking rents were 3% higher than the Submarket and 12% above the County average. Over the last ten years, the area has added approximately 55,300 SF of new retail space, largely concentrated in developments such as Baker Ranch, Portola Retail Center, and Lake Forest Gateway.
Lake Forest residents actively support a mix of local and regional retail, dining, and entertainment venues. Local favorites include BJ’s Restaurant, Rubio’s, In-N-Out, and Raising Cane’s, while Item: 12

grocery needs are primarily met by Ralphs and Stater Bros. However, many residents regularly shop at big-box retailers like Walmart, Costco, and Target, and pursue fitness at Planet Fitness and LA Fitness. Regional destinations such as Irvine Spectrum serve as popular entertainment options, underscoring a consumer base that blends local and regional activity.
Retail Leakage
When reviewing visitor information provided by Placer.ai, despite the City’s sizable retail footprint, the City experiences notable retail leakage. Residents are frequently shopping in nearby cities like Irvine, Mission Viejo, and Laguna Hills. The Irvine Spectrum Center alone draws over 950,000 visits annually, offering a robust mix of anchors (e.g., Target, Nordstrom), specialty retailers, and entertainment. Other high-traffic destinations include Portola Plaza and The Shops at Mission Viejo, suggesting Lake Forest consumers are seeking greater variety and experiences not fully available locally.

Retail leakage data identifies several high-opportunity categories. The City loses $23.95 million annually in grocery sales and over $92 million across full-service and limited-service restaurants.
Additionally, clothing stores and department stores experience substantial leakage of $26.07 million and $7.78 million, respectively. Online sales also account for significant revenue loss in sectors like clothing and sporting goods. Table 3 shows the retail categories exhibiting a retail sales leakage.

To address these retail gaps, Lake Forest could benefit from increasing the supply of grocery stores and full-service restaurants, while also expanding specialty retail and entertainment offerings to retain local spending. Furthermore, enabling local businesses to integrate e-commerce capabilities, like omni-channeling (i.e., having multiple and consistent methods for customer interactions and purchases) could help recapture sales lost to larger online retailers, such as Amazon. By strategically targeting these gaps, the City has the opportunity to enhance its retail ecosystem, attract shoppers from surrounding areas, and bolster its local economy.

SHOPPING CENTER ANALYSIS
Kosmont analyzed 18 shopping centers (totaling 2.3 million square feet [“SF”]) identified by the City in this Shopping Center Analysis. For geographical purposes, Consultant categorized the 18 shopping centers into North, Central, and South (See Figure 2) described below. - Northern Area Shopping Centers:
o The Northern Area contains five shopping centers totaling 1.3 million SF and are primarily concentrated around the toll road (CA-241).

www.kosmont.com
For each center, Kosmont evaluated the visitor traffic from 2020 to 2024 compared to a baseline year (2019); created a profile of each center with key information including location, size, anchor tenants, and ownership; analyzed historic market data (last ten years) to observe trends in retail vacancies and lease rates; examined visitor analytics (including demographic data of visitors to the shopping centers, along with key hours and days when visits were the highest); generated heat maps showing where most visitors are coming from; and provided a summary of observations / recommendations going forward.
In observing the 18 shopping centers, Kosmont found five principal observations:
Strong Performance with Local / Regional Draws
The shopping centers in the area are generally performing well, with many showing high occupancy rates and steady or increasing visitation levels. The centers that are anchored by major grocery stores like Stater Bros., Albertsons, and Grocery Outlet tend to attract predominantly local visitors, with the majority coming from within three miles. Conversely, centers such as El Toro Auto Center and Aspan Plaza have a more regional appeal, drawing significant foot traffic from up to 30 miles away. This diverse range of visitor patterns reflects the variety of services offered, from local conveniences to specialty or auto-related services with broader catchment areas. The high visitation volumes—some centers seeing over a million visitors annually— underscore strong consumer demand and reinforce the stability of the retail market across these commercial nodes.
Mixed-Use Potential Under Zoning Flexibility
A number of centers fall within areas zoned for Mixed-Use 43, which allows for up to 43 dwelling units per acre and a floor area ratio (FAR) of 1.2:1. This zoning designation opens the door for creative redevelopment strategies that blend residential, retail, and commercial uses—especially where underperforming or partially vacant properties exist. For instance, sites like Rockfield Place, parts of the Foothill Ranch Towne Center and El Toro Auto Center offer opportunities to reimagine existing shopping centers with added residential units or experiential retail formats.
Aligning redevelopment with nearby uses such as hotels or transit corridors can strengthen the area’s overall appeal and support long-term urban planning goals that emphasize walkability, vibrancy, and sustainability.
Vacancy and Re-Tenanting Trends
While most centers maintain healthy occupancy rates, several have experienced significant vacancies due to anchor tenant closures—such as the departures of CVS, 99 Cent Store, and Cinemark. In many cases, these vacancies have been successfully re-leased, indicating a resilient retail market and a continued demand for retail and service space. However, these fluctuations Item: 12

underscore the importance of proactive re-tenanting strategies. The City should monitor these shifts closely and support property owners in attracting businesses that meet evolving consumer needs. This may involve targeting experiential, service-oriented, or locally-owned businesses that can fill gaps and create community-oriented destinations.
City’s Role in Retention and Revitalization
Across the board, the City should play a role in maintaining the vitality of its commercial centers.
This includes ongoing engagement with property owners, brokers, and developers to stay ahead of market trends and respond quickly to emerging vacancies. The City can also aid in business attraction, expansion, and retention efforts by offering planning flexibility, facilitating permits, and encouraging improvements such as façade upgrades. In some cases, limited redevelopment may be warranted to better align with zoning goals and demographic shifts. Overall, a coordinated approach to supporting shopping center health—balancing long-term vision with short-term responsiveness—will be essential to ensuring these centers continue to serve as economic and social hubs for the community.
Economic Development Tools for Growth
To support continued development and capitalize on market momentum, the City is encouraged to implement a range of economic development tools. Strategies like Value Capture Zoning, including Development Opportunity Reserve (D.O.R.®) and Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (“EIFDs”) can play a pivotal role in funding public infrastructure improvements tied to new or intensified development. These tools allow the City to reinvest a portion of the property tax increment generated by new growth into enhancements that benefit the surrounding community. Particularly in areas experiencing residential expansion or where redevelopment potential exists, these mechanisms can help align private investment with public benefit, fostering more cohesive and well-supported mixed-use environments.
Recommendations for each shopping center can be found at the end of the document following the discussion of economic development tools.
MIXED-USE SWOT ANALYSIS
In August 2022, the City approved a Zoning Code Amendment that established mixed-use zoning in five areas throughout the City as part of the General Plan. The Mixed-use Office zone allows for business parks and office uses, while the remaining four zones (Mixed-Use 32 and 43, and Urban Industrial 25 and 43) allow for stand-alone residential development or a blend of residential, commercial, and / or industrial development. Kosmont conducted a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (“SWOT”) Analysis of six shopping center / shopping areas (Foothill Ranch Towne Center, Lake Forest Town Center / Aspan Plaza / Rockfield Center, Rockfield Place, El Toro Auto Center, Lake Forest Marketplace, and the Freeway Corridor) that fall within the mixed-use zones for a potential blend of uses.

Strengths
The shopping centers analyzed possess several strong attributes that support future development potential. Notably, many of the sites offer large land areas that can accommodate substantial new development. Their high visibility from major transportation corridors—such as CA-241, I-5, and heavily trafficked roads like El Toro Road, Lake Forest Drive, and Rockfield Boulevard—enhances their appeal for both commercial and residential projects. Additionally, some centers are well-situated near existing residential and commercial developments, allowing for the creation of synergistic mixed-use environments.
Weaknesses
Despite these strengths, several key weaknesses present challenges to redevelopment. Chief among them are restrictive CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions) and long-term leases, which can significantly complicate property acquisition and site assembly. In certain cases, existing leases may make it difficult to integrate residential development due to a lack of available space for parking or other necessary amenities. Geographical challenges, such as non-contiguous parcels, elevation changes, or limited access to freeways and thoroughfares, further hinder development feasibility. Some sites also face unique, location-specific issues—for example, the El Toro Auto Center is constrained by the adjacent Orange County Fire Authority station, which limits block-wide redevelopment. Meanwhile, the Freeway Corridor may potentially lose existing buildings due to the construction of a new I-5 Freeway on/off ramp.
Opportunities
On the upside, the City’s new Mixed-Use 43 and Urban Industrial 43 zoning designations provide significant flexibility for future development. These zones allow for a broad mix of uses, including residential densities up to 43 dwelling units per acre and commercial development with a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of up to 1.2:1. This opens the door for a range of possibilities, including housing, hotels, experiential retail, or even retail-office hybrids that complement existing or nearby land uses. Additionally, some centers benefit from the potential to incorporate high-visibility signage due to their proximity to major freeways, which could help attract tenants or customers.
Threats
Several threats to development were also identified. Common risks include concerns about the market feasibility of future mixed-use or residential development, as well as potential opposition from current tenants who may resist redevelopment efforts. In some instances, such as at Lake Forest Marketplace or Lake Forest Town Center, the existing centers may already be operating near their highest and best use, making tenant displacement economically unviable. Other threats are more site-specific—for example, the western parcel of Rockfield Place is owned by the State of California, introducing potential delays or complications in acquiring the property.
Likewise, uncertainty around the final footprint of the new I-5 freeway ramp creates risk for future investment in the Freeway Corridor.

COMMUNITY / OUTREACH ENGAGEMENT
Kosmont conducted stakeholder outreach to local brokers, property managers, and businesses to better understand shopping center dynamics and existing market conditions in the City.
Overall retail market conditions in the City are strong with many shopping center owners experiencing robust occupancies. While some big-box retail vacancies have occurred (e.g., 99 Cents Only stores going out of business, CVS closures, Cinemark theater), these vacancies provide opportunities for expanding retailers in a considerably tight market. Additionally, shopping centers along CA-241 Toll Road and the I-5 Freeway experience greater visibility and thus show strong vacancies and asking rents. Businesses will look towards opening in centers with strong visibility and traffic counts (e.g., centers located on El Toro Rd. and Rockfield Ave.).
Weaknesses identified during community outreach included the following: conflicting priorities among multiple landowners within the same shopping center and covenants, conditions, and restrictions (“CC&Rs”) that present challenges for owners looking to redevelop. Additionally, the shopping center inventory contains mature properties with aged facades, limited upgrades, and poor layouts, which may detract future tenants. Lastly, certain tenants are struggling due to shifts in market trends and financial strains related to consumer changes, particularly in entertainment, discount retail, and pharmaceutical purchases.
Lake Forest's shopping centers face several key challenges that threaten their competitiveness and appeal. Property managers have raised concerns about the presence of unhoused individuals near centers adjacent to the I-5 freeway, which may impact customer experience and safety perceptions. Additionally, some property owners are unwilling to invest in necessary improvements, leading to aging and less attractive retail spaces. Compounding these issues is retail leakage to nearby cities like Irvine and Mission Viejo, which contain larger shopping centers that draw potential shoppers away from Lake Forest.
Several opportunities exist to enhance shopping centers in Lake Forest and strengthen their competitiveness. Continued outreach and collaboration between the City and the broker/property management community—such as regularly scheduled meetings—can help address shared challenges and identify growth opportunities. Providing additional support to manage unhoused population concerns and reduce vandalism, particularly near the I-5 freeway, would improve the perception and safety of affected retail areas. A façade improvement program could further encourage the renovation of aging properties, making them more attractive to tenants and shoppers. Lastly, maintaining the City’s successful Buy One, Get One (“BOGO”) program can stimulate increased local spending and drive more foot traffic to shopping centers.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES
Kosmont outlines several economic development strategies the City may use to achieve its long-term economic goals. These include:
- Real Estate Strategies, such as Business Expansion, Attraction, and Retention (“BEAR”), - Value Capture Zoning / Specific Plan,
- Tax Increment Financing (“TIF”) Districts, and
- Grant Funding from Federal and State sources focused on infrastructure, energy, and climate-focused investment and projects
Cities, such as Lake Forest, can use these economic development strategies in tandem as part of an overall economic development playbook. Table 5 summarizes how each of these strategies can be used to attract, finance, and optimize development.

Create flexible zoning with updated Specific Plans to adapt to market trends and customer dynamics; Capture the value from zoning changes to link new density to community benefits and public amenities via D.O.R.® Infrastructure Financing Districts
Use TIF districts, such as Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (“EIFD”) or Climate Resilience Districts (“CRD”) to capture taxes from assessed value increases to fund infrastructure needs to unlock private investment Grants and Other Public Funding Pursue grant funds available at the state and regional level for infrastructure, climate resilience, housing, and other development projects While the main report examines each economic development strategy, this Executive Summary will focus on the tool the City should consider using as an immediate next step to meet goals related to its retail and shopping centers – Business Expansion, Attraction, and Recruitment (“BEAR”). More information regarding BEAR is described below.
Business Expansion, Attraction, and Recruitment (“BEAR”) BEAR is designed to promote economic development by encouraging cities to proactively engage with private property owners to drive real estate projects aligned with broader community goals.
A key component involves direct outreach to property owners to better understand their development plans, identify obstacles, and explore opportunities that support the City’s objectives. The strategy emphasizes maintaining regular communication with top sales tax contributors, major employers, and key suppliers.

www.kosmont.com
Another focus is on promoting the rehabilitation and renovation of properties, which can include storefront facelifts and signage upgrades, supported by programs such as façade improvement loans or grants. Marketing efforts aim to position the City as a business-friendly environment, showcasing its community assets, skilled workforce, and economic success stories.
Targeted outreach is also essential, involving direct engagement with developers, brokers, and businesses using marketing materials, meetings, site tours, and presence at industry events like Innovating Commerce Serving Communities (formerly International Council of Shopping Centers) [“ICSC”] conferences. The City could consider creating a strategy for marketing business opportunities at ICSC conferences. Lastly, BEAR encourages the formation of Public-Private Partnerships (P3s), where the City can invest in infrastructure or other improvements to support mutually beneficial development goals shared by both the City and property owners.
Business Incentive Programs
Many communities across the state use a variety of business and economic development incentive programs. The City has the opportunity to establish a similar program; however, it is critical to first define clear goals—such as supporting small businesses, increasing job creation, attracting major tax generators, or encouraging specific types of development. Additionally, a system should be developed to measure the effectiveness of each initiative.
Implementation costs can vary. Some incentives, like job tax credits, façade improvements, and infrastructure upgrades, involve direct City expenditures. Others, such as tax sharing agreements and fee waivers, are generally offset by the increased tax revenue generated through new development.
Examples of business incentive programs include:
- Façade improvement programs,
- Infrastructure investment,
- Tax sharing agreements and tax abatements,
- Efficient permitting,
- Job tax credits / Workforce training, and
- Fee waivers / deferrals in targeted areas
Some examples of other cities implementing business incentive programs include:
- City of Santa Barbara - started a program in 2019 (prior to COVID) that entailed closing down a portion of a majorstreet to be more pedestrian-friendly; which activated the area by promoting outdoor dining and increasing patronage of local businesses.

The shopping centers highlighted in Table 6C are highly leased, well located, and fully stabilized.
These centers require minimal intervention from a leasing perspective, but should continue to be monitored due to the age of the properties.

ACTION ITEMS / NEXT STEPS
Kosmont suggests the City focus on BEAR as part of next steps related to its retail. Action items include the following:
1. Maintain a strong relationship with the broker and property management community in the City to stay abreast of challenging market conditions and provide support for major vacancies.
2. Attend and market opportunities at ICSC and other conferences with a retail and residential development presence to promote and support retail centers. Note: The largest ICSC conference of the year is in Las Vegas in May where attendance is ~25,000.
An immediate next step for the City would be to create marketing material and begin outreach for meetings with retailers, developers/owners, and brokers.
3. Develop technical assistance (e.g., supporting businesses in applying for federal/state grant or loan funds) and business incentive programs (e.g., façade improvement programs) to support emerging businesses in major corridors as well as centers with ongoing vacancy challenges.
4. Streamline processes and requirements to appeal to existing and future businesses.

SCOPE OF WORK
Kosmont Companies (“Kosmont”) was hired by City of Lake Forest (“City”) to prepare a Shopping Center Analysis (“Analysis”) which included the following elements:
Demographic and economic profile of the City,
Retail market analysis to evaluate market conditions, Engagement with brokers and local businesses to understand the strengths and challenges that face the City,
Profile of eighteen (18) designated shopping centers to understand current conditions and opportunities,
Assessment of retail leakage and frequency of visits by residents, Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) Analysis of six (6) shopping centers located within the City’s mixed-use zones for a potential of blended uses, and Overview of economic development strategies.

OBJECTIVE OF THE ANALYSIS
Why is the Shopping Center Analysis Important:
The City should be experts in market conditions and trends, demographics, retail market metrics, status of properties/projects and stakeholders … because market intelligence allows strategic, economic development decision making by the City,
Retail and land uses are evolving at a dramatic pace; online sales are at an all time high, and the consumer is leveraging technology and demanding convenience, which impacts retail business models and formats (i.e., importance of internet/social media marketing, pickup/delivery/drive thrus), Public sector needs private investment/partnerships led by developers, owners, brokers, retailers/businesses; in other words, it is a symbiotic and relationship driven business, The City has a strong stock of desired, well-located retail with low vacancy, There is competition from surrounding communities, and Important for City to be flexible from a zoning perspective and business friendly through continued business retention, attraction and expansion, while keeping community priorities top of mind Item: 12

HOW ARE CITIES USING VALUE CAPTURE ZONING ?
VALUE CAPTURE ZONING STRATEGY:
HERMOSA BEACH
LAND VALUE RECAPTURE PROGRAM
City council recently approved a land value recapture program to recover & reinvest land value increases via new approved residential zoning for redevelopment in the City’s commercial districts.
Market-rate housing developments will be required to pay $76 - 104 per square foot to a Hermosa Beach fund that aims to support development of affordable housing.
VALUE CAPTURE ZONING STRATEGY:
BUELLTON
DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY RESERVE (DOR)®
The City of Buellton included a DOR® tool in its Avenue of the Flags Specific Plan to encourage development in the downtown area and create a vibrant main street.
DOR® tool trades zoning incentives (density, building heights, parking, setbacks, fees, etc.) to projects that deliver community amenities, infrastructure, or other benefits.
The following communities have implemented or are considering Value Capture Zoning / DOR®:
• El Monte
• Temecula
• Palmdale
• Buellton

WHAT IS A TAX INCREMENT FINANCING (TIF)
DISTRICT?
TIF Fundamentals
TIF is a method of capturing increased property tax revenue from new development or property value increases within a designated area to fund public improvements or those that implement public policy, such as housing.
How it Works
As private property investment occurs, the resulting increase in property tax revenue is deposited into a separate TIF fund and used to pay for public improvements within a district.

MIXED/BLENDED-USE OPPORTUNITIES
The City of Lake Forest approved a Zoning Code Amendment in Aug. 2022 which established mixed-use zoning in five areas throughout the City as part of the General Plan:
The Mixed-Use Office zone allows for business parks and office uses, while the other four zones allow stand-alone residential development or a blend of residential, commercial, and/or industrial development The six shopping centers analyzed for a potential blend of uses are found within these mixed-use zones.
A SWOT Analysis of 6 shopping centers within the City’s mixed-use zoning areas revealed
Centers near the 241 Toll Road and 5 Freeway have great visibility and strong traffic counts that would support the opportunity to create blended use projects on large sites for residential.
Weaknesses included the requirement to navigate CC&Rs / long-term leases that could make acquisition difficult.

WRAPPING IT ALL UP
TAKEAWAYS & RECOMMENDATIONS
Per suggested economic development strategies in the Analysis, focus on Real Estate Strategies, such as “BEAR” Kosmont suggests the City focus on the following next steps related to its retail:
Embrace “BEAR” (Business Expansion, Attraction, and Retention) strategies and prioritize large scale properties / retailers / vacancies and underutilized / non highest and best uses Important to track shopping center ownership, retailers / businesses, brokers and continue to reach out to open lines of communication re successes and challenges (e.g., property manager/broker roundtable, share shopping center analysis and put on City website)
Attend ICSC Conferences for education, networking, relationship building and promoting City opportunities (e.g., ICSC Las Vegas in May with ~25,000 retail professionals, ICSC Western in Palm Springs with ~3,000 participants) – create marketing material and set meetings with developers/owners, retailers and brokers. Promote centers within mixed-use zoning areas, as identified in the General Plan Amendment (2020).

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 4/15/2025
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
SUBJECT:
DRAFT FISCAL YEAR 2025-2030 CDBG FIVE-YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN AND DRAFT FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 EXPENDITURE PLAN
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Review and comment on the draft Fiscal Year 2025-2030 CDBG Five-Year Consolidated Plan and draft Fiscal Year 2025-26 Expenditure Plan.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Federal Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”) Program is administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”). CDBG is a formula grant allocated to local governments to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low- and moderate-income. To receive this annual grant, the City of Lake Forest (“City”) is required to submit an Annual Action Plan to HUD by May 15 of each year. The Annual Action Plan outlines how CDBG funds will be utilized to address the goals and objectives established in the City’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan (“Consolidated Plan”).
The City’s current 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan will expire on June 30, 2025.
Consequently, the City contracted with Willdan Consulting (“Willdan”), an experienced CDBG consulting firm, to prepare the Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan. Staff is providing the draft FY 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan (Attachment 1) and the draft FY 2025-26 Expenditure Plan (Attachment 2) for the City’s Council’s review. The draft Expenditure Plan serves as the basis for preparing the FY 2025-26 Annual Action Plan.
The draft Expenditure Plan, with estimated expenditures of $781,937, includes the anticipated CDBG grant for FY 2025-26 ($479,750), funds carried forward from prior years ($180,765), and Revolving Loan Income from 2024 ($121,422).
Staff recommend the City Council provide comment on the draft FY 2025-26 Expenditure Plan and draft FY 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan. Staff will bring the final Action Plan and Consolidated Plan, along with any public comments received, to the City Council for a final review at the May 6, 2025, City Council meeting.
Item: 13
525
BACKGROUND:
HUD regulations require the City to develop a Consolidated Plan and update the Plan every five years in order to participate in the CDBG Program and receive annual funding. The City contracted with Willdan to prepare the draft FY 2025- 2030 Consolidated Plan and subsequent Annual Action Plan for FY 2025-26. The City selected Willdan through a competitive request for proposal process consistent with the City’s Purchasing and Contracting Guidelines. The firm was selected given its vast technical expertise in preparing Consolidated Plans and Annual Action Plans, and providing CDBG consulting services for various cities throughout California.
In addition, in order to receive funding, HUD requires the City to submit an Action Plan on an annual basis. Willdan is preparing the required FY 2025-26 Draft Action Plan, pursuant to the goals outlined in the Consolidated Plan and based on the draft Expenditure Plan included with this report. The draft Expenditure Plan details proposed funding allocations and activities the City would undertake to address the housing and community development needs and local objectives using the annual CDBG grant, any funds carried forward from prior years, and other housing funds (i.e., loan repayments) anticipated during FY 2025-26 program year.
To date, HUD has not announced 2025 grant allocations; however, for planning purposes, the City anticipates receiving $479,750 in CDBG funds for FY 2025-26 (represents a 5% reduction from the prior year allocation). In recent years, annual CDBG allocations have been reduced due to federal budgetary restrictions. Of this amount, 15% (i.e., approximately $72,000) may be allocated for public services (i.e., nonprofit organizations that provide a range of services in the community and whose goals align with those identified in the City’s Consolidated Plan). In addition, 20% of the annual award amount may be used for administrative costs. The balance is typically utilized for other CDBG-eligible projects, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) Access Ramp Projects, Audible Pedestrian Signal Projects, Housing Rehabilitation Loans, and Paint Grant Programs. Staff published a Notice of Funding Availability (“NOFA”) for the FY 2025-26 program year in the Saddleback Valley News on December 5, 2024. In addition, staff emailed notices to all current public service grant sub-recipient organizations inviting applications for FY 2025-26.
Item: 13

DISCUSSION:
FY 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan
A. Statutory Requirements and Required Plan Components
Preparation of a Five-Year Consolidated Plan is a statutory requirement of the City’s CDBG program. Willdan and staff collaborated to prepare the draft FY 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan. The Plan identifies the City’s overall housing and community development needs and outlines specific goals and objectives that will guide the City’s CDBG funding priorities over a five-year period. In preparing the Consolidated Plan, Willdan evaluated demographic, economic, and housing data. Willdan also reviewed information on affordable housing trends and special needs populations (i.e., homeless and non-homeless). In addition, Willdan consulted with public and private agencies and engaged in citizen participation via an electronic survey.
The housing and demographic data incorporated in the Consolidated Plan were largely obtained from the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (“CHAS”) developed by the Census Bureau for HUD based on the 2016-2020 American Community Survey (“ACS”). The CHAS and ACS are federally-mandated data sources provided by HUD to local jurisdictions submitting required HUD reports (e.g., Consolidated Plans and Action Plans). In addition to the required data sources, staff and Willdan are reviewing the City’s current 2021-2029 Housing Element and will ensure the final version of the Consolidated Plan is consistent with the document.
Overall, the Consolidated Plan includes housing and community development goals and objectives, proposes the continuation of existing programs (e.g., Housing Rehabilitation Loan and Paint Grant Programs) and identifies potential programs and projects that may be undertaken in the five-year planning period (2025-2030). All CDBG expenditures must be consistent with the Consolidated Plan.
FY 2025-26 Action Plan
1. Annual Grant Amount
The Consolidated Plan process also includes the preparation of the first-year Action Plan, which is the annual plan the City prepares pursuant to the goals outlined in the Consolidated Plan. The Action Plan details expenditure allocations and the activities the City will undertake during FY 2025-26.
To date, HUD has not announced 2025 grant allocations; however, for planning purposes, the City anticipates receiving $479,750 in CDBG funds for FY 2025- Item: 13

2026 (represents a 5% reduction from the prior year allocation). In recent years, annual CDBG allocations have been reduced due to federal budgetary restrictions.
2. Public Service Programs
HUD regulations stipulate that up to 15% of the City’s annual grant may be used for public service programs that provide resources to underserved communities.
Based on the anticipated grant award amount, approximately $71,962 may be spent on public services. As with previous years, the collective amount requested by the applicants exceeds the 15% cap for public service grants.
Staff reviewed all applications with the assistance of Willdan, the City’s CDBG consultant. All applications were reviewed for completeness and evaluated in relation to the goals and objectives listed in the current Consolidated Plan as well as the draft 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan. In formulating draft funding recommendations, staff took into consideration the priorities identified in the “Needs Survey,” consultations with service providers, and the HUD-mandated services.
Staff received a total of six applications from public service organizations which qualify under the public service programs category. After a thorough review and analysis, staff’s draft recommendations for public service grant allocations are provided in Table 1 below.

services. Given the value of the proposed services to the Lake Forest community, staff recommend funding public service programs at the maximum amount allowed (15% of the grant amount). Funding public services at the maximum rate is consistent with past practice and is a significant factor in advancing the goals outlined in the Consolidated Plan. Due to the delay in approving the federal 2025 budget, the City will increase or decrease proposed funding for activities by a percentage based on the final 2025 CDBG grant.
3. Remaining Grant Allocations and Draft Expenditure Plan HUD also allows the City to allocate a maximum of 20% of the grant for program administration (e.g., salaries, consultant assistance, etc.). The City received an application from the Fair Housing Council of Orange County, a past awardee of CDBG funds. It provides Fair housing services, which are mandatory under HUD regulations and it has historically provided services consistent with the City’s and HUD’s expectations. Fair housing services fall within the Program Administration category. Staff propose that $95,950 be allocated for CDBG program administration ($7,500 for Fair Housing Council of OC and the remainder $88,450 for CDBG Administration). The remaining balance of $311,837 (i.e., grant amount of $479,750 less $71,962 for public services and $95,950 for program administration), may be spent on other CDBG eligible projects such as housing rehabilitation and preservation activities, and public facilities and infrastructure improvements in CDBG-eligible areas. All activities must comply with the City’s Consolidated Plan.
The proposed Expenditure Plan would serve as the basis for preparing the draft Action Plan. If approved by the City Council, the Expenditure Plan would be incorporated into the draft Action Plan and would be presented to the City Council on May 6, 2025, for final adoption and approval. Table 2 below provides an overview of the proposed FY 2025-26 CDBG Expenditure Plan.

HUD allows for CDBG funds to be spent on Economic Development related activities. CDBG-funded economic opportunities provide long-term financial benefits to communities, people’s livelihoods, and personal wealth. The City received an application from Upwards Care Inc. (“Upwards”) to provide services to 13 in-home childcare providers within Lake Forest. CDBG funds would be used to cover part of the salaries and benefits for key staff members, as well as healthcare and payroll taxes. Upwards has secured CDBG funding from cities and counties including but not limited to Cathedral City, Chula Vista, Escondido, Garden Grove, Palo Alto, San Jose, and Tustin, to name a few. Staff is recommending an allocation of $50,000 for this project.
The Expenditure Plan also includes capital projects. These projects serve to preserve and/or enhance public improvements or infrastructure in the community.
CDBG funded improvements must primarily benefit low and moderate-income residents and are typically limited to specific Census Tracts. Exceptions to the focused use of CDBG funding are activities that comply with the American with Disabilities Act (“ADA”). Since FY 2004-2005, the City has utilized a portion of its annual grant to upgrade sidewalk ramps to comply with ADA regulations. The Public Works Department would like to continue the City’s comprehensive program to facilitate access by replacing old ramps with new ones that comply with Federal standards. Staff is recommending an allocation of $230,000 for Phase 15 of the citywide ADA Access Ramp Improvement Project.
Staff also recommend continuing the City’s two housing rehabilitation programs in FY 2025-26: the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program and the Neighborhood Paint Program. The City Council approved updates to the Policy and Procedures Manual in February 2025, which included increased loan and grant amounts.
Staff is recommending a total allocation of $125,000 for paint grants and $209,025 for loans. These costs are for the loan/grant plus the cost of related administration expenditures.

Summary/Recommendations:
As noted in this report, an updated Five-Year Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan are required to be submitted to HUD by the statutory deadline in order to continue the City’s participation in the CDBG program and receive these federal entitlement funds. The attached draft Consolidated Plan and draft Annual Expenditure Plan endeavors to balance HUD’s requirement for mandatory elements and the City’s desire to maintain flexibility to address local needs and issues. At this point in the process, staff is seeking input and comments from the City Council that would be incorporated into the documents. Public comments, if any, will be presented for the City Council’s consideration at the time the final Plans are presented for City Council approval on May 6, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is minimal fiscal impact related to the recommended action. Funding for the CDBG Program is provided annually by HUD. The FY 2025-26 CDBG Grant for Lake Forest is unknown at this time. Allocation of the City’s CDBG grant for programs and projects is approved by the City Council as part of the budget adoption process.

Executive Summary
ES-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
The Consolidated Plan is a five-year planning document required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to be submitted by all participating jurisdictions that receive HUD formula entitlement grant funds. The City of Lake Forest receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement funds annually. This Plan is designed to help participating jurisdictions analyze their housing, community, and economic development needs, so that they can effectively utilize the grant funds allocated each year by HUD. CDBG was created through the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low- and moderate-income. CDBG regulations require that at least 70 percent of all CDBG funds are used to benefit low- and moderate-income residents who are members of households that earn less than 80 percent of Area Median Income (AMI).
As an entitlement jurisdiction, the City must submit the Five-Year Consolidated Plan, as required by HUD, by the due date of “no less than 45 days prior to the start of the grantee's program year start date”. As Lake Forest's fiscal year begins July 1st, this means the Consolidated Plan and each subsequent Annual Action Plan is due to HUD on or around May 15th each year.
The current planning process covering FY 2025-2030 also includes the development of the FY 2025-2026 Action Plan, which is the City’s annual CDBG expenditure plan. The Action Plan details the activities the City will undertake to address housing and community development needs and local objectives using CDBG funds. The City anticipates receiving $479,750 in CDBG funding for Fiscal Year 2025-2026, and roughly the same amount minus a five percent annual decrease over the next five years. Program income is also generated by the repayment of prior funded housing rehabilitation loans which will also be available to undertake eligible housing activities. It is estimated that approximately $300,000 annually of program income from the City’s revolving loan program will be available to support the Housing Rehabilitation Programs.
2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview
The Consolidated Plan contains a Needs Assessment and Market Analysis that provide insight into the different levels of need within the community and the market in which grant-funded programs will be implemented. The Needs Assessment incorporates national data from the American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year Estimates and Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data, in addition to specific local data. Based on this data and input from citizen participation, the Strategic Plan identifies the Consolidated Plan LAKE FOREST 1
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Item: 13
537
City’s priority needs, including the rationale for establishing allocation priorities and specific measurable goals to be addressed during the five-year period. Regulations governing the CDBG program require that each activity undertaken with CDBG funds meet one of the following three broad national objectives: 1) Benefit people with low- and moderate-income; 2) Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight; 3) Meet an urgent need (such as earthquake, flood, or hurricane relief). Additionally, activities funded must also meet one of HUD’s eligible use categories.
According to HUD’s Consolidated Plan Final Rule, the overall goal of community planning and development programs is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities principally for low- and moderate-income persons as follows:
• Decent Housing (DH): includes assisting homeless persons to obtain appropriate housing and assisting persons at risk of becoming homeless; retention of the affordable housing stock; and increasing the availability of permanent housing in standard condition and affordable cost to low-income and moderate-income families, particularly to members of disadvantaged minorities, without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, or disability. Decent housing also includes increasing the supply of supportive housing, which combines structural features and services needed to enable persons with special needs, including persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, to live with dignity and independence; and providing housing affordable to low-income persons accessible to job opportunities. •
•
A Suitable Living Environment (SL): includes improving the safety and livability of neighborhoods; increasing access to quality public and private facilities and services; reducing the isolation of income groups within a community or geographical area through the spatial de-concentration of housing opportunities for persons of lower-income and the revitalization of deteriorating or deteriorated neighborhoods; restoring and preserving properties of special historic, architectural, or aesthetic value; and conservation of energy resources.
Expanded Economic Opportunities (EO): includes job creation and retention; establishment, stabilization and expansion of small businesses (including micro-businesses); the provision of public services concerned with employment; the provision of jobs involved in carrying out activities under programs covered by this plan to low-income persons living in areas affected by those programs and activities; availability of mortgage financing for low-income persons at reasonable rates using nondiscriminatory lending practices; access to capital and credit for development activities that promote the long-term economic and social viability of the community; and empowerment and self-sufficiency opportunities for low-income persons to reduce generational poverty in federally assisted and public housing.
Outcomes and Priority Needs Established
In addition to meeting one of the General Objective Categories above, HUD requires that project activities funded with entitlement funds also meet one of the following General Outcome Categories:
Availability/Accessibility (1), Affordability (2), or Sustainability (3). Each activity funded will thus have a Consolidated Plan LAKE FOREST 2
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Item: 13
538
combination of the Objective and Outcome Category listed in the description (i.e. DH-2 would be Decent Housing that is Affordable), which allows for measuring of accomplishments for each of the Consolidated Plan's five years.
During the development of the FY 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan, the following priorities were established as a High Priority Need, with the required Objective and Outcome Category listed in parenthesis and the programs to be funded/implemented are noted by bullet point:
• Priority 1- Affordable Housing (DH-2) [High Need]: Promote, preserve, and assist in the development of affordable housing for low- and moderate- income residents, special needs groups, those at-risk of homelessness, and disproportionately impacted residents.
Priority 2: Community Facilities and Infrastructure (SL-1) [High Need]: Improve and expand facilities and infrastructure that serve low- and moderate- income neighborhoods and residents.
Priority 3: Public Services (SL-1) [High Need]: Provide and improve access to public services for low- and moderate-income persons and those with special needs, as well as prevent and eliminate homelessness.
•
•
•
•
•
Priority 4: Community Preservation Services (SL-3) [High Need]: Provide for the preservation of low- and moderate-income neighborhoods in the target areas.
Priority 5: Economic Development (EO-1) [Moderate Need]: Provide for the economic development needs of low- and moderate-income persons and neighborhood target areas.
Priority 6- Administration and Planning (SL-1) [High Need]: Provide for administration and planning activities to develop housing and community development strategies and programs needed to carry out actions that address identified needs in the Consolidated Plan in accordance with HUD regulations and provide Fair Housing services for all residents.
3. Evaluation of past performance
The City’s CDBG funded programs undertaken over the last two Consolidated Plan Cycles have aided in solving neighborhood and community problems by providing a funding source for underserved needs.
Specifically, Infrastructure Improvement Projects have given low-and moderate-income residential neighborhoods an improved street infrastructure system through ADA curb cuts and ramps and the installation of Audible Pedestrian Signal Push Button lights; public services have helped the City's elderly, youth, homeless, at-risk, victims of domestic violence, and other special needs groups; residents have benefitted from Fair Housing and Tenant/Landlord Counseling Services; residents have been provided affordable housing through an affordable housing acquisition program; the housing stock has been sustained through rehabilitation of deteriorated housing units/lead-based paint testing and abatement; supportive services have been provided to homeless persons/families and/or those at risk of becoming homeless; and the Senior Center was improved with a special allocation of Covid-19 funding.
All of these projects and experiences therein have helped guide the City in choosing the goals and projects for the new Consolidated Plan Cycle. As such, the City will be continuing the priorities and projects from the last plan, as there is still an unmet need due to the limited amount of grant funds received each year.
Consolidated Plan LAKE FOREST 3
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Item: 13
539
It is anticipated that funding received in the next five years will not be sufficient to complete the entire remaining infrastructure projects needed within the low- and moderate-income areas identified in the City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Moreover, affordable housing, public services, fair housing and administration are still High priority needs in the community and will therefore receive continued funding.
As Economic Development is a Medium level priority that has somewhat more restrictive regulations attached to it, it will be included in the Consolidated Plan, but may not be funded with CDBG funds during this cycle. Instead, the City will seek to fund that activity with leveraged resources and will evaluate funding with CDBG should funds become available.
4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process City staff encouraged residents and local and regional organizations to participate in the preparation of the FY 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan. There were several opportunities for City residents and agencies/organizations to offer input into the Consolidated Plan process, as noted below:
•
•
The City posted an online Community Needs Survey to solicit the opinion of residents and business owners regarding the City's most pressing needs. The survey was available in English and Spanish.
On January 9, 2025, the City participated in the Orange County 2025-2029 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Workshop, to gather public input on fair housing issues faced by residents, which are incorporated into the Consolidated Plan. •
•
•
A draft of the Consolidated Plan was made available for a 30-day public comment period from March 20, 2025 to April 24, 2025.
The City Council discussed the draft Consolidated and Expenditure Plan at its April 15, 2025 meeting to review funding recommendations and applications received.
The Consolidated Plan is scheduled to be adopted by the City Council on May 6, 2025.
A Community Development Needs Survey was made available online through the City’s website from November 1, 2024, through February 28, 2025. There was a total of 238 participants. The survey was available in English and Spanish and responses were mostly received from zip code 92630 (70 percent); 58 percent of the responses were from seniors over 55, which may slightly skew the results. The priority needs and programs established in order of greatest need were as follows:
•
•
•
Housing Supply/Improvements: Housing for Seniors (Age 62 and older) received the most responses for critical need at 29%, followed by Homebuyer Assistance and Acquisition (for Affordable Housing) at 26% each, and Housing for Small Families at 21%.
Social and Public Service: Mental Health services received the highest number of critical need responses at 33% followed by Healthcare Services at 30% and Childcare Services/Services for Abused and Neglected Children at 28% each.
Public Infrastructure: Flood Prevention/Drainage, Street Lighting, Water System Improvements, and Residential Street Improvements received the highest number of critical need responses at 34%, 31%, 29%, and 27% respectively.

5. Summary of public comments
A summary of public comments received during the planning process can be found in the Citizen Participation section of this Consolidated Plan, as well as in the appendix.
6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them All comments and input received by the City in the development of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan were accepted and taken into consideration in the development of the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. There were no comments not accepted.
7. Summary
The primary objective of the CDBG program is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities, principally for persons of low- and moderate-income. Additionally, each activity to be funded with CDBG funds must meet a national objective.
The FY 2025-2030 Five-Year Consolidated Plan will cover five years beginning in FY 2025-2026 and ending in FY 2029-2030. As required by HUD, the Consolidated Plan is prepared using HUD’s electronic template. The template includes over 50 community profile and housing market data tables prepopulated with data from HUD.
The FY 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan is the first of five annual plans in the FY 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan cycle. The Annual Action Plan is the City’s one-year expenditure plan for CDBG funds. The Action Plan identifies the activities the City will undertake during a twelve-month period with CDBG funds to address community needs that support the broad objectives and goals identified in the Consolidated Plan.
To date, HUD has not announced 2025 grant allocations; however, for planning purposes, the City anticipates receiving $479,750 in CDBG funds for FY 2025-2026 (represents a 5% reduction from the prior year allocation). Program income generated by the repayment of prior funded housing rehabilitation loans and prior year uncommitted funds will also be available to undertake eligible housing activities, which is estimated at $180,764.44 (carryover) and $121,422 (2024 Revolving Loan Income). Based on the City's estimated FY 2025-2026 CDBG allocation, the following activities are proposed:

1. Introduction
The consolidated planning process requires jurisdictions to contact and consult with other public and private agencies when developing the Consolidated Plan. The plan must include a summary of the consultation process, including identification of the agencies that participated in the process. Jurisdictions also are required to summarize their efforts to enhance coordination between public and private agencies.
The City sought the input of residents, city departments, non-profit organizations, program beneficiaries and service providers required to create strategic development plans for the city's needs for the 2025- 2030 Consolidated Plan period. A list of these agencies can be found in Table 2.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(I)).
To enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies, the City of Lake Forest took the following actions:
• The City Manager's Office, acting as the lead agency, met with various City departments and consulted with outside agencies to gain input on annual needs, enhance coordination of services, prevent duplication of services, and resolve issues within the interagency institutional structure.
The City of Lake Forest collaborates with the County to obtain input on assisted-housing programs. Specifically, the City works with and supports the Orange County Housing Authority’s (OCHA) administration of the Housing Choice Voucher Program, which provides housing subsidies to qualified lower-income renters. Coordination is enhanced by the City’s participation as a member of the OCHA Advisory Committee.
•
•
•
To strengthen the housing delivery system in the private sector, the City encourages private housing developers to include affordable units in multi-family housing developments within Lake Forest. The City will also continue to cooperate with local nonprofit housing organizations to identify and provide housing opportunities for lower-income households.
Orange County has a broad spectrum of public and nonprofit social service providers that address the needs of the region’s residents. Through the annual CDBG public service grant funding process, City staff can ascertain the type of services City residents require (e.g., senior services, youth services, services for the near homeless and those already homeless), and develop partnerships with local agencies to ensure the delivery of quality services. • The City of Lake Forest has an active economic development program that coordinates business activities and employment programs with community organizations such as the Lake Forest Chamber of Commerce and Orange County Workforce Solutions.

Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness Coordination of Orange County’s Continuum of Care (OC-CoC) planning process is led by 2-1-1 Orange County and the OC Community Services Department. This nonprofit-public partnership helps ensure comprehensive, regional coordination of efforts and resources to reduce the number of homeless and persons at risk of homelessness throughout Orange County. This partnership serves as the regional coordinator of the year-round CoC planning process and as a catalyst for the involvement of the public and private agencies that make-up the regional homeless system of care.
The City participants in the CoC planning process by providing information regarding the activities it will fund to address local homeless issues. This information is used by the OC-CoC to prepare the regional application to HUD for Homeless Assistance Grant funds. City staff will also expedite certifications of consistency with the Consolidated Plan and other forms of support for the OC-CoC. The City is also a supporter and participant in the biennial Point-In-Time Survey of the region’s homeless.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS The City is not a recipient of Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds; therefore, it does not assist the OC-CoC with the determination of ESG allocations nor evaluating the outcomes, or developing policies and procedures for the administration of the regional Homeless Management Information System (HMIS).

Data from the California Department of Public Health and the Orange County Health Care Agency identifies the percentage of young children with elevated lead blood levels. The City used this data to assess lead-based paint hazards. State agencies were also consulted to obtain updated housing and population information. The County of Orange was contacted to obtain an array of data, including information regarding the number of households receiving rental assistance, homeless count, and other regional data. Local governments also assisted the City with the preparation of the Consolidated Plan.
The Orange County Health Care Agency was consulted regarding the number of Lake Forest residents living with HIV and AIDS and available HOPWA program resources. The City also participated in roundtable meetings with other Orange County CDBG recipients to discuss the preparation of a regional analysis of impediments to fair housing and other regional housing and community needs.

Needs Assessment
NA-05 Overview
Needs Assessment Overview
The Needs Assessment of the Consolidated Plan identifies the City’s needs as they relate to housing, homelessness, community development, and special needs populations. The housing needs assessment section evaluates household income, tenure (renter or owner), housing cost as a function of household income, disproportionate needs amongst racial and ethnic groups, and public housing needs. The homeless needs assessment examines the sheltered and unsheltered homeless population in San Bernardino County to inform the City’s strategy to address homelessness during the next five years. The non-homeless special needs assessment section evaluates the needs of people who are not homeless, but due to various reasons are in need of services including but not limited to: elderly, frail elderly, severely mentally ill, developmentally disabled, physically disabled, persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and victims of domestic violence. The non-housing community development needs assessment section discusses the need for public facilities, public infrastructure improvements, and public services to benefit low- and moderate-income residents.
From this Needs Assessment, the City will identify those needs with the highest priority, which will form the basis for the Strategic Plan and the programs and projects to be administered during the five-year Consolidated Plan for FY 2025-2030. Information contained in the assessment is gathered through data analysis, consultations, and citizen participation. To assess community needs, the City examined data, held community meetings, conducted a Community Needs Survey, and consulted with local stakeholders.
The Needs Assessment primarily relies on the following sources of data:
•
•
•
•
American Community Survey (ACS)(2016-2020 current year estimates) Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS data 2016-2020) 2024 Point- in- Time Homeless Count
The California Association of Realtors (CAR) website was accessed to obtain information on current market trends and affordability
•
•
•
The Housing Element and Development Codes were reviewed to provide insight on zoning and land use policies and units at risk of conversion
Previous Consolidated Plans and other Community Strategic Plans were used to provide supporting data on demographics, City programs, needs, and strategies Various data requests were sent to County level staff from the Department of Health Services and Housing Authority

NA-10 Housing Needs Assessment - 24 CFR 91.205 (a,b,c)
Summary of Housing Needs
The following section describes the estimated housing needs projected for the next five-year period for the following categories of persons: extremely low-income, low-income, moderate-income, and middle-income families, renters and owners, elderly persons, persons with disabilities, including persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, single persons, large families, public housing residents, victims of domestic violence, families on the public housing and section 8 tenant-based waiting list, and discuss specific housing problems, including: cost burden, severe cost-burden, substandard housing, and overcrowding (especially large families).
To the extent that any racial or ethnic group has a disproportionately greater need for any income category in comparison to the needs of that category as a whole, an assessment of that specific need is completed. Disproportionately greater need exists when the percentage of persons in a category of need who are members of a particular racial or ethnic group is at least ten percentage points higher than the percentage of persons in the category as a whole.
During the past decade, Lake Forest has experienced moderate population growth. According to data presented in Table 5, the City’s population grew by 6% between 2009 and 2020. In comparison, during roughly the same period, the County’s population grew 2.7, while California’s population grew 6.7%. The 2016-2020 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates also indicates there was an 8% growth in households and a 24% increase in the median income.

Comments:
Describe the number and type of single-person households in need of housing assistance.
Data provided by HUD’s Consolidated Plan template for Table 12 above does not provide information for single person households in need of housing assistance. However, the City's Housing Element reported that 21.8% of family households are headed by a single male or single female. There are 1,226 male heads of household with no spouse present and 413 of these households have children under 18. There is a larger number of female householders with no spouse present – 3,378 households or 11.8% of family households – and 1,702 of these female-headed households have children under 18.
Single parent households generally have a higher ratio between their income and their living expenses (that is, living expenses take up a larger share of income than is generally the case in two-parent households). Therefore, finding affordable, decent, and safe housing is often more difficult for single parent and female-headed households. Additionally, single parent and female-headed households have special needs involving access to daycare or childcare, health care, and other supportive services.
Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.
Disabled Households: According to the 2016-2020 ACS data, there are an estimated 5,838 Lake Forest residents with a disability – approximately 7.2% of the City’s population. Federal laws define a person with a disability as "Any person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities …” Of residents with a disability, 559 (9.6%) are living below the poverty level.
The City’s elderly population has significant levels of disabilities. The ASC estimates 26.3% of Lake Forest seniors, age 65 and over, have a disability. Since seniors have a much higher probability of being disabled, the housing and service needs for persons with disabilities should grow commensurate with senior population growth. Accessibility housing needs of the disabled population, including the elderly, can typically be addressed through housing rehabilitation programs that provided improvements such as ramps, grab bars, wider doorways, and specialized kitchen cabinets.
Victims of Domestic Violence: The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV) estimates that nationwide, domestic violence hotlines receive 20,000 calls per day. NCADV also reports that one in three women have experienced rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime. The Consolidated Plan LAKE FOREST 24

State of California Department of Justice reports that in 2023, there were 36 calls for assistance related to domestic violence in Lake Forest; however, prior year data from 2014-2023 shows an average of 235 calls per year.
Laura’s House, a leading domestic violence service provider in South Orange County, estimates that only one in seven incidents are reported. Laura’s House also estimates that for each victim of domestic violence that receives shelter and support services, 15 to 20 individuals are turned away from lack of space. The Orange County 2024 Point In Time Survey of the region’s homeless estimates that 10.01% of unsheltered homeless in South Orange County are victims of domestic violence, and 10.40% of sheltered homeless in South Orange County are victims of domestic violence. Victims of domestic violence often face urgent housing needs, requiring safe and confidential shelter to escape abusive situations.
What are the most common housing problems?
According to HUD data from Table 7, the most common housing problems in Lake Forest is housing cost burden. This housing problem impacts both renter and owner households. To a much lesser degree, some households are affected by crowding and substandard housing (as defined by HUD).
Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems? Table 9 provides estimates regarding the number of lower-income households impacted by housing cost burden (30% of income toward housing cost).
•
•
Among renter households, extremely low-income senior and low-income large related households are most impacted (49.0% and 48.5%, respectively).
Among owner households, small and large related low-income households are most impacted (62.7% and 65.8% respectively).
Table 10 summarizes information regarding households that pay more than 50% of their income for housing. According to this HUD data, a significant percentage of lower-income households are experiencing severe housing cost burden:
•
•
Among renter households, 68.6% of extremely low-income small renter households are dedicating more than 50% of their income for housing.
Among owner households, extremely low-income senior households and low-income large households are impacted (46.5% and 60.5% respectively).
As indicated above, few Lake Forest households are impacted by crowded housing. According to Table 11, 1,003 households live in “crowded” housing. HUD’s data indicates that 833 of these households are renters and 170 are owners. When addressing crowding issues, the City is required to utilize the States more liberal occupancy standard, which allows up to 30 people to live in a 1,200 sq./ft. residence. The City’s Code Enforcement program staff reports that approximately 10% of their cases are related to Consolidated Plan LAKE FOREST 25

Item: 13

overcrowding - the most prevalent issue related to crowding in the City is the impact of parking in residential neighborhoods.
According to Table 7, only 165 Lake Forest households are impacted by HUD-defined substandard housing. The City is required to enforce compliance with the California building code, and according to the City’s Code Enforcement staff, substandard housing is not a significant issue in the City. Unpermitted room additions and garage conversions represent the most prevalent types of code violations addressed by City staff.
Describe the characteristics and needs of Low-income individuals and families with children (especially extremely low-income) who are currently housed but are at imminent risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered 91.205(c)/91.305(c)). Also discuss the needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re-housing assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance
The National Alliance to End Homelessness states that households at risk of homelessness are often very low-income households on a fixed income (such as retired seniors) or marginally employed. Due to limited income and high area housing costs, at risk households are typically severely housing cost burdened. Based on HUD data, 1,945 extremely low-income Lake Forest households dedicate more than 50% of household income for housing (see Table 10). This data indicates that of this figure, senior and small related households comprise 73.3% of the at-risk population.
OCHA reports that as of April 2025, there are 152 Lake Forest households on the waitlist for federal rental assistance.
If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at-risk population(s), it should also include a description of the operational definition of the at-risk group and the methodology used to generate the estimates:
Extremely low-income households that are experiencing severe housing cost burden are most at risk of becoming homeless. The methodology for estimating the number of households that may be at risk of homelessness is also outlined as follows: Based on the CHAS data in Table 7, 4,065 Households in Lake Forest were experiencing severe cost burden, approximately 98 percent (3,965) are considered low- and moderate-income; earning 0-80 percent of Area Median Income (AMI). Moreover, 2,255 Households (910 renter-households and 1,345 owner-households) are extremely low-income (0-30 percent AMI) and are considered at-risk.

Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness
The origins of involuntary homelessness are multi-faceted but can be grouped into two general categories:
physiological and economic factors. Examples of physiological factors include physical or mental illness and addiction disorders. Economic factors include the impact of high housing and medical costs. As indicated previously, Lake Forest households with extremely low-incomes and severe housing cost burden have a high risk of becoming homeless. Housing instability encompasses a number of challenges, such as having trouble paying rent, overcrowding, moving frequently, or spending the bulk of household income on housing. The cost of housing as well as the health effects of substandard housing and forced evictions.
Certain populations, such as children who move frequently and people who have spent time in prison, may be more affected by housing instability. Physical or mental illness and addiction disorders, as well as economic factors including the impact of high housing and medical costs impact homelessness. Lack of regular housing, neighborhood characteristics, physical and mental health challenges, elevated rates of childhood and chronic disease, stress, depression, anxiety, and suicide are all characteristics associated with instability and an increased risk of homelessness.
Discussion
According to HUD data provided in the Consolidated Plan template, substandard and crowded housing are not a significant housing problem in Lake Forest; however, housing cost is the most prevalent housing problem. According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, very low- income households are at a high risk of becoming homeless. Per HUD data, senior and small related households comprise over 70% of the City’s extremely low-income residents that are dedicating more than 50% of their income to maintain their home.

Discussion
As previously indicated, housing cost burden is the most prevalent housing problem in Lake Forest. Tables 13 through 16 show that regardless of race or ethnicity, a significant number of lower-income Lake Forest households are experiencing a housing problem; however, the data indicates that among extremely low-income households, while 27 percent of the income category for the jurisdiction as a whole are impacted, Black/African American and Pacific Islanders are disproportionately impacted by housing problems at 77 percent and 100 percent respectively.

Introduction
A disproportionate need exists when members of a racial/ethnic group experience severe housing problems at a rate of 10 percentage points or greater than the proportion of the jurisdiction/income level as a whole. The following section assesses the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole for the population of low- and moderate-income households.
The ACS defines a “selected condition” as owner- or renter occupied housing units having at least one of the following conditions:
1) lacking complete plumbing facilities; 2) lacking complete kitchen facilities; 3) more than 1.5 occupants per room; and 4) selected monthly housing costs greater than 50 percent of household income.

Discussion
Tables 17 through 20 indicate that regardless of race or ethnicity, a significant number of extremely low-income and very low-income Lake Forest households are experiencing a severe housing problem; however, Black/African American, Asian, and Hispanic households are disproportionately impacted by severe housing problems among the different income categories. In general, at higher income levels, minority populations are not disproportionally impacted by severe housing problems. While 46 percent of the income category for the jurisdiction as a whole are impacted, Black/African American and Pacific Islanders are disproportionately impacted by housing problems at 94 percent and 100 percent respectively.

NA-25 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Cost Burdens – 91.205 (b)(2) Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole.
Introduction:
HUD defines cost burden as the extent to which gross housing costs, including utility costs, exceeds 30 percent of a given household’s gross income. A household is considered severely cost burdened if gross housing costs, including utility costs, exceeds 50 percent of a household’s gross income. A disproportionate need exists when members of a racial/ethnic group experience cost burden problems at a rate of 10 percentage points or greater than the proportion of the jurisdiction/income level as a whole.
The following section assesses the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole for the population of low and moderate-income households.

Discussion:
Table 21 shows that that the majority households experiencing overpayment/housing cost burden earn less than 50 percent of the median income, which is similar for all races. As a jurisdiction, households that experience cost burden (pay more than 30 percent or more of their income on housing were identified as follows:

NA-30 Disproportionately Greater Need: Discussion – 91.205(b)(2) Are there any Income categories in which a racial or ethnic group has disproportionately greater need than the needs of that income category as a whole? According to Census data, Hispanics/Latinos make up the largest minority population in Lake Forest (24.5% of the City’s population). Asians represent the second largest minority population (15.7% of the City’s population). Based on HUD data from the above series of tables, Black/African American and Hispanic/Latino households consistently appear to be experiencing housing problems disproportionally to the community as a whole. A notable percentage of Native Americans/ Native Alaskans and Pacific Islanders are also disproportionally impacted by housing problems, but these racial populations comprise a small percentage of the City’s population.
If they have needs not identified above, what are those needs? As previously outlined, housing cost is the prevalent housing problem. This housing problem is found among all income categories and most race/ethnic groups. Based on HUD data and City staff input, crowded and substandard housing are not significant issues in Lake Forest.
Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your community?
In general, minority populations reside throughout the City; however, there are eight Census Tracts in the City with minority populations representing more than the County average of 62.3 percent as follows:
