Alternate Work Schedule
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Many public agencies and private organizations have adopted alternate work schedules to improve employee work-life balance, expand service coverage, and enhance recruitment and retention. A 9/80 schedule is among the most widely used. Under this schedule, employees work 80 hours over nine workdays in a two-week period, with one designated day off every other week.
Key features of the 9/80 schedule:
• Week 1: Four 9-hour days + one 8-hour day
• Week 2: Four 9-hour days + one day off
• Total: 80 hours per pay period
The City currently operates under a standard 5-day, 40-hour workweek for most positions. During recent discussions on operational efficiency and employee retention, the potential benefits of an alternate schedule emerged as a recommended option for evaluation.
Participation in the 9/80 schedule is a privilege extended to employees whose job duties and performance meet the criteria for flexible scheduling. It is not a guaranteed benefit and may be modified or revoked based on operational needs, performance concerns, or changes in job responsibilities.
BACKGROUND | ANALYSIS
1. Operational Benefits
• Extended public service hours:
Departments will open earlier on nine-hour days, providing additional service access. • Improved coverage:
Staggered days off across staff can maintain full weekly coverage.
2. Recruitment and Retention Advantages
• A 9/80 schedule is considered a desirable benefit that can improve competitiveness in attracting and retaining talent.
• Enhances employee well-being, potentially reducing turnover and burnout.
3. Productivity and Morale
• Employees often report improved morale and increased focus due to an additional day off every two weeks.
• The longer workday may facilitate uninterrupted project time, which can elevate productivity.
4. Considerations and Potential Challenges
• Customer Service Expectations:
Departments providing public-facing services must ensure coverage across all business hours.
Item #: 13.1
Presentations
• Supervisor Workload Balancing:
Supervisors must monitor schedules to maintain equity, consistent staffing, and compliance with labor laws.
• Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) Compliance:
The 9/80 schedule requires careful configuration of the workweek to prevent unintended overtime. • Union/MOU Requirements:
Implementation may require meet-and-confer sessions with employee associations. • Departmental Flexibility:
Not all positions or divisions may be suitable for an alternate schedule.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no significant fiscal impact anticipated. Minor administrative costs may be incurred for policy development and timekeeping modifications. Potential cost savings may occur through reduced turnover and improved productivity.

Agenda Title: Creation of a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Organization – Community Foundation
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Cities and special districts frequently establish or partner with 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundations to enhance their capacity to receive tax-deductible donations, pursue grant funding, and support programs that cannot be effectively funded through the General Fund or enterprise revenues.
A community foundation typically:
• Serves as a flexible charitable vehicle for donors
• Administers donor-advised funds, scholarships, cultural programs, or facility enhancements • Supports City priorities through public–private partnerships • Enables philanthropic investment in parks, libraries, arts, social services, youth programs, and community improvement projects
BACKGROUND | ANALYSIS
Purpose of the Community Foundation
The proposed Community Foundation would exist to:
• Support charitable, educational, and community-enhancing activities • Provide an independent nonprofit structure eligible for private donations and grants • Facilitate fundraising for community capital projects, events, and programs • Strengthen collaboration among residents, businesses, service organizations, and the City Structure & Governance
The Community Foundation would be incorporated as a California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation (or applicable state entity).
Key governance elements include:
• Board of Directors: 5–9 members, including City representatives. • Bylaws: Outlining board roles, conflict-of-interest policy, meeting requirements, and oversight procedures
• Fiscal Oversight: Annual budget, independent financial review or audit (depending on revenue level), and annual IRS Form 990 filing
Relationship to the City
The Community Foundation will operate independently but in coordinated partnership with the City.
Key elements:
• The City may provide initial administrative support during formation • The Foundation may use City facilities for meetings and programming • A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) may be utilized to outline expectations, use of City branding, and reporting requirements
Item #: 13.2
Presentations
FISCAL IMPACT
Minimal initial cost. Formation requires:
• State filing fees: ~$30–$100
• IRS filing: $275 (Form 1023-EZ) or $600 (Form 1023 standard) • Optional legal review or accounting support
Once established, the Foundation may manage restricted and unrestricted funds, grants, and endowments.
The City may consider a small start-up contribution or in-kind administrative support.

STAFF REPORT
TO: Lindsay City Council
MEETING DATE: December 9, 2025
DEPARTMENT: City Services
FROM: Susan Long, Contract City Planner
AGENDA TITLE: Adoption of the 2023–2031 Housing Element, Certification of the Program EIR, and Adoption of Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 616 (By-Right Objective Approval Ordinance and ADU/JADU Ordinance)
ACTION & RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a Public Hearing to receive input on the proposed 2023–2031 Housing Element, Environmental Impact Report (EIR) Addendum, and zoning ordinance updates; adopt a resolution repealing the 2015–2023 Housing Element and adopting the 2023–2031 Housing Element; and adopt ordinance No. 616 updating Title 18 (Zoning Ordinance) to implement the By‑Right Objective Approval Ordinance and the updated ADU/JADU regulations consistent with State law.
BACKGROUND | ANALYSIS
The City of Lindsay has prepared the 2023–2031 Housing Element (6th Cycle) to comply with State Housing Element Law (Gov. Code §§ 65580–65589.11) and meet its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) of 789 units. The update includes expanded analysis of governmental and non‑governmental constraints, enhanced Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) analysis, expanded program details, and strengthened collaboration components. The Housing Element was revised following three formal reviews by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD): the first 90‑day review on July 6, 2024, and two subsequent 60‑day reviews on March 11, 2025, and August 12, 2025.
The City also prepared an addendum to the General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) evaluating implementation of the Housing Element and associated zoning amendments. The zoning amendments include adoption of By‑Right Objective Approval for qualifying housing developments and adoption of updated ADU/JADU provisions consistent with State law.
REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS ALLOCATION (RHNA)
Lindsay’s RHNA for the 2023–2031 cycle is 789 units across four income categories. The Housing Element provides an inventory of 1,121 realistic capacity units and includes a 61% RHNA buffer (287 units) to satisfy the 'No Net Loss' requirements under Gov. Code § 65863.
SITES INVENTORY SUMMARY
The sites inventory identifies a range of vacant and non‑vacant parcels capable of accommodating housing at all income levels. The inventory includes:
- 411 units on vacant sites
- 388 units on non‑vacant sites
- 322 units in pending/pipeline projects
- 0 projected Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)
The City’s rezoning program and By‑Right Approval Ordinance ensure that adequate lower‑income sites remain available throughout the planning period.
AFFIRMATIVELY FURTHERING FAIR HOUSING (AFFH)
The Housing Element includes a full Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) evaluating segregation patterns, Racially and Ethnically Concentrated Areas of Poverty (R/ECAPs), disparities in access to opportunity, and disproportionate housing needs. Lindsay collaborated with the Housing Authority of Tulare County, Fair Item #: 15.2
Public Hearing
Housing Council of Central California (FHCCC), and UC Merced regional data providers for mapping and analysis. The Housing Element includes targeted programs to expand housing choice, address displacement risk, increase mobility opportunities, and support underserved populations.
PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT SUMMARY
Public engagement conducted between 2023 and 2025 included:
- City Council workshops (April 11, 2023)
- Community housing workshops (June 1, 2023)
- Stakeholder interviews (March 21, 23, and April 4, 2023) - Regional housing survey via TCAG
- Outreach to nonprofit and social service agencies (December 23, 2024 and January 17, 2025) All required AB 215 review periods were completed. No comment letters were received during the 2025 public review cycle.
ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS

4 1.5 Project Description
The Project consists of the following elements:
1. Housing Element Update: A comprehensive update to the City of Lindsay’s General Plan Housing Element
2. Zoning Code Update: An amendment to the City’s Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 18.15, General Provisions and Exceptions) adding Section 18.15.130 defining by-right approval process in accordance with state law, and establishing that certain housing projects must be allowed by right (including permanent supportive housing; low-barrier navigation centers; and projects that include at least 20 percent of units affordable to lower-income households on sites listed as lower-income sites in the Housing Element that are vacant and used in two prior Housing Element site inventories, or nonvacant and listed in one prior Housing Element site inventory).
3. Zoning Map Amendment: A Zoning Map amendment to rezone the following parcels from IL (Limited Industrial) to MXU (mixed-use) to establish consistency with their underlying General Plan Land Use Designations: 205-360-011, 205-360-012, 205-036-013, 205-096-003, 205-101- 006, 205-101-007, 205-101-012, 205-101-014, 205-101-015, 205-101-016, 205-101-017, 205- 930-011, 205-293-015.
State law requires that housing elements be updated every eight years (California Government Code Sections 65580 to 65589.8). Each eight-year period is referred to as a “cycle.” For Lindsay, the current (6th) cycle planning period runs from December 2023 through December 2031. Each Housing Element cycle, the California Department of Housing and Community Development assigns each region a share of the State’s housing need, and the regional government (in this case, the Tulare County Association of Governments) assigns each jurisdiction a share of the Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA).
The Housing Element Update must contain the following elements:
▪ Identification and analysis of existing and projected housing needs, resources, and constraints ▪ A statement of goals, policies, quantified objectives, and scheduled programs for preservation, improvement, and development of housing
▪ Assessment of the City’s fair housing issues
▪ Adequate provision for existing and projected needs of all economic segments of the community
▪ A Site Inventory which demonstrates the City’s ability to accommodate its share of the RHNA The Project would bring the City’s Housing Element into compliance with Housing Element Law, including legislation passed since the publication of the previous Housing Element cycle (adopted in 2015).
The Housing Element assists Lindsay in determining how to address existing and future housing needs and plan for future growth. The Housing Element Update would not directly result in the development of any specific project. Rather, it establishes objectives and policies designed to guide future development as the City works to achieve State-mandated housing goals.
The Site Inventory contains “housing opportunity sites” that are suitable for inclusion in the Site Inventory (pursuant to Housing Element Law) with their existing zoning and land use designations.
Zoning changes and future individual development projects will require project-specific Introduction and Project Summary
Addendum Evaluation 5
environmental review (except those exempted from further CEQA review by Housing Element law, and codified in the Zoning Code Update that is part of the Project). When a specific development proposal is considered for approval, that project would be subject to adopted development guidelines and standards and it must comply with the 2008 General Plan policies and actions listed in the certified General Plan EIR in accordance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15168(c)(3). If a subsequent activity (in this case, zoning or land use changes or a specific development proposal) would have effects not identified in the EIR (the General Plan EIR and this Addendum), the lead agency must prepare additional CEQA documentation prior to project approval.
The Project also includes text-only amendments to the City’s Zoning Code to ensure consistency with the Housing Element Update and State law. These changes would bring the Zoning Code into compliance with Government Code Section 65583.2, which requires cities to ministerially approve eligible affordable housing projects and exempts such projects from CEQA. These amendments fulfill the City’s obligation under Housing Element law to make Housing Element inventory sites available for development.
The Project also includes a Zoning Map amendment to establish consistency between 13 parcels’ zoning and General Plan Land Use designations (listed in Table 1, below). The parcels have a General Plan Land Use designation of Mixed Use and are zoned Light Industrial (IL); the Zoning Map amendment would rezone them to Mixed Use (MXU) consistent with their General Plan Land Use designations. These parcels are not listed in the Housing Element Site Inventory, either as rezone or opportunity sites. The Zoning Map Amendment does not implement the Housing Element. Rather, the Zoning Map Amendment implements the City’s General Plan Land Use Element and establishes consistency between the General Plan and Zoning Map.

This Addendum analyzes the changes and potential impacts related to the adoption of the Housing Element Update, Zoning Code Update, and Zoning Map Amendment. This Addendum is intended to demonstrate the consistency of the project with the existing General Plan to comply with CEQA. The City’s current General Plan underwent extensive environmental review in the form of an EIR, which City of Lindsay
City of Lindsay Housing Element Update 2023-2031
6 was certified in July 1989 (State Clearinghouse #1989080714). The City of Lindsay General Plan EIR (herein called the General Plan EIR) is a comprehensive document that includes discussion of alternatives and growth-inducing impacts associated with buildout of the City at the time it was developed.
This Addendum will compare the buildout of the proposed Project with the full-buildout scenario presented in the General Plan EIR. This Addendum assesses whether the Project would result in impacts not addressed or previously analyzed in the General Plan EIR.
1.6 Discretionary Action
Implementation of the project would require the following discretionary actions by the City of Lindsay City Council:
▪ Approval of a General Plan Amendment to incorporate the 2023-2031 Housing Element Update ▪ Approval of a Zoning Code text amendment
▪ Approval of a Zoning Map amendment
▪ Consideration of this Addendum
The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) reviews and certifies that the proposed Housing Element complies with State law. Aside from HCD, no other approvals by outside public agencies are required.

2 Project Context
The California Legislature has identified the attainment of a decent home and suitable living environment for every resident as the State’s major housing goal. Recognizing the important role of local planning programs in pursuing this goal, the legislature mandated that all cities and counties prepare a housing element as part of their comprehensive general plans. Government Code Sections 65580 to 65589.8 set forth the specific components to be contained in a community’s housing element.
2.1 Purpose of the Housing Element
The Housing Element of the General Plan is designed to provide the City with a coordinated and comprehensive strategy for promoting the production of safe, decent, and affordable housing within the community.
Pursuant to State law, the Housing Element has two main purposes:
1. To provide an assessment of both current and future housing needs and constraints in meeting these needs; and
2. To provide a strategy that establishes housing goals, policies, and programs.
The Housing Element is one of the seven General Plan elements required by State law (Government Code Section 65302). The Housing Element serves as an integrated part of the General Plan but unlike other General Plan elements, is required by State law to be updated every eight years (California Government Code Section 65588). Each eight-year period is referred to as a “cycle,” the current cycle being the sixth.
The Housing Element identifies strategies and programs that focus on:
1. Conserving and improving existing affordable housing
2. Maximizing housing opportunities throughout the community
3. Assisting in the provision of affordable housing
4. Removing governmental and other constraints to housing investment
5. Promoting fair and equal housing opportunities
The Housing Element is an official response to the need to provide housing for all economic segments of the population, establishing goals, policies, and programs that will guide City decision making and set forth an action plan to implement these housing programs through the eight-year planning period.
The Housing Element analyzes market and governmental constraints to housing maintenance, improvement, and development; addresses conservation and improvement of the condition of existing affordable housing stock; and outlines policies that promote housing opportunities for all people.
The Housing Element must identify residential sites adequate to accommodate a variety of housing types for all income levels and to meet the needs of special population groups as defined under State law (California Government Code Section 65583).

8 2.2 Regional Housing Needs Allocation
The RHNA reflects the HCD’s determination of the projected housing needs in a region by household income level as a percentage of the Area Median Income (AMI). TCAG was tasked with allocating this regional housing need among the jurisdictions in the TCAG region, which includes the City of Lindsay. Table 2 shows the breakdown of Lindsay’s share of the RHNA for the 6th Cycle.
Table 2 2023-2031 Regional Housing Need Allocation
Income Category (Percent of Tulare
County Area Median Income [AMI]) Number of Units Percent of Total Units Extremely Low (< 30% of AMI)* 51 6.5%
Very Low (30 to 50% of AMI) 42 5.3%
Low (51 to 80% of AMI) 58 7.4%
Moderate (81% to 120% of AMI) 178 22.6%
Above Moderate (> 120% of AMI) 460 58.2%
Total 789 100%
* The RHNA does not project the need for extremely low-income units, but pursuant to State law (AB 2634), the City must project its extremely low-income housing needs based on Census income distribution or assume 50 percent of the very low-income units required by the RHNA as extremely low-income units. The City’s very low-income requirement is 93 units. The number of extremely low income units that the City must plan for shown here was projected using Census data. According to the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS), data developed by HUD, 52 percent of households in the city earned less than 50 percent of the AMI. Among these households, 55.1 percent earned incomes below 30 percent (extremely low-income). Therefore, the City’s RHNA allocation of 93 very low-income units was distributed as 51 extremely low-income (52 percent of the 93 very low-income units required by the RHNA) and 42 very low-income units. However, for purposes of identifying adequate sites for the RHNA allocation, State law does not mandate the separate accounting for the extremely low-income category Source: TCAG, 2022. Final Regional Housing Needs Plan.
2.3 Changes in State Law
The Housing Element Update and Zoning Code Update incorporates and addresses all substantive changes to State housing law since the City’s last Housing Element was adopted and certified in 2016, including, but not limited to:
▪ Affordable Housing Streamlined Approval Process: Senate Bill (SB) 35 (2017) ▪ Additional Housing Element Sites Analysis Requirements: Assembly Bill (AB) 1397 (2017) ▪ Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing: AB 686 (2017)
▪ No-Net-Loss Zoning: SB 14,207 (2017)
▪ By Right Transitional and Permanent Supportive Housing: AB 2162 (2018) and AB 101 (2019) ▪ Accessory Dwelling Units: AB 68 (2019), AB 587 (2019), and AB 671 (2019) ▪ Housing Crisis Act of 2019: SB 330
▪ Emergency and Transitional Housing Act of 2019: AB 139 (2019)
2.4 City of Lindsay General Plan
State law mandates that each city and City in California adopt "a comprehensive, long-term general plan,” for the physical development of its planning area. The City of Lindsay General Plan planning area includes all lands within the City limits. The General Plan is a legal document that serves as City Project Context
Addendum Evaluation 9
of Lindsay “blueprint” or “constitution” for all future land use, development, preservation, and resource conservation decisions. General Plans must be comprehensive and long-term.
The City of Lindsay General Plan, adopted in July 1989, is a long-term document with text and diagrams that express the goals, objectives, and policies necessary to guide the community toward achieving its vision. A General Plan establishes and implements goals and policies for regulating development projects and for balancing population growth with infrastructure availability, agricultural preservation, and natural resource protection. Other goals and policies are directed to resource protection, ensuring the timely availability of public infrastructure and services, and encouraging a well-balanced economy. The plan also integrates new planning concepts endorsed by the City Council and translates Housing Element goals and policies into implementation programs (such as amendments to the City’s code, zoning ordinance, and subdivision regulations) to assure that the City’s vision is implemented.
City decision makers (e.g., City Council and Planning Commission), rely on the General Plan as the basis for development proposals, land use changes, and the provision of public facilities (e.g., roads, parks, fire stations). It is also a policy document that guides decisions related to protecting, enhancing, and providing open space, habitat conservation, arts and recreation programming, and community character.
State law requires that every General Plan, at a minimum, address certain subject categories (called "elements"), which include land use, circulation, housing, conservation, open space, noise, safety, and environmental justice. A General Plan may also address other subjects that are of importance to the community’s future, such as sustainability, community design, and public art. The City of Lindsay’s General Plan includes the following elements (City of Lindsay 1989):
▪ Circulation

2.5 City of Lindsay General Plan EIR
The General Plan EIR addressed the potential environmental effects of the planned buildout of Lindsay General Plan through the approximately 20-year period between 1989 to 2010 and concluded that implementation of the General Plan would result in environmental impacts as detailed in Table 3. Proposed mitigation measures in the General Plan EIR were incorporated as policies in the General Plan to reduce potential impacts from project development under the General Plan.

General Plan Buildout Assumptions
The General Plan has a planning horizon year of 2010, but it does not specify or anticipate exactly when buildout would occur, as long-range demographic and economic trends are difficult to predict.
The designation of a site in the General Plan for a certain use does not necessarily mean that the site will be developed or redeveloped with that use during the planning period, as most development depends on property owner initiative.
In 1989, the City of Lindsay had 8,271 residents. The General Plan estimates a total population of 29,980 residents and 9,000 residential units through the buildout of the General Plan (City of Lindsay 1989). Thus, it was anticipated that the population would increase by approximately 21,709 residents. Currently, the City has a population of 12,594 residents and 3,641 residential units (DOF 2024). For the purpose of this Addendum, the proposed Project and its anticipated growth will be compared to the impacts from full buildout of the General Plan.
The Housing Element Update would accommodate 754 units in order to adhere to the City's obligation to address its fair share of regional housing needs, as well as specific State-mandated requirements outlined in the RHNA. The RHNA sets the baseline for the minimum number of housing units that the City must plan for in its Housing Element. This involves providing sufficient sites through the General Plan and zoning. As a result, the projected increase in growth aligns with expectations outlined in the State RHNA accommodation. Therefore, the proposed increase in growth can be considered anticipated as evident by the State RHNA accommodation. Although the proposed buildout could theoretically reach 754 units, it is important to note that the Project is not increasing the overall development potential in the City beyond what was previously included in the General Plan and analyzed as part of the General Plan EIR. Therefore, the proposed Project's buildout aligns and is well below what the General Plan already accommodates. Consequently, comparing the Project's residential units to the General Plan level reveals a net increase of zero.
Further, as noted above, actual population growth in the City of Lindsay since the General Plan EIR was completed (from 1989 to 2024) was 4,323 residents. The addition of 754 units under the proposed Project would not exceed the 9,000 units projected under the General Plan EIR. Rather, the proposed Project is intended to assist the City in achieving the vision of the existing General Plan and provide the necessary housing units to accommodate the anticipated growth and assist the City in meeting its RHNA for their 6th Cycle Housing Element. It is not anticipated that the proposed Project would result in a substantial increase in environmental impacts or create new impacts not previously identified as part of the General Plan EIR. This increase is well within growth projections included in the City of Lindsay General Plan EIR which assumed a population of approximately 29,980 individuals at buildout of the General Plan and is intended to help accommodate the growth in City of Lindsay that was envisioned by the General Plan when adopted.

2.6 Housing Element Update
The 2023-2031 Housing Element Update has the following major components:
▪ An Introduction and Community Engagement section that provides an overview of the housing element update and efforts Lindsay made to engage the public and gather input to inform development of this Housing Element Update (Chapter D1) ▪ An Housing Needs Assessment for the City of Lindsay, summarizing demographic, employment, and housing characteristics. (Chapter D2)
▪ A Housing Constraints Analysis analyzing constraints to the development of adequate and affordable housing including market, governmental, infrastructure, and environmental factors. (Chapter D3)
▪ A Housing Resources section documenting the methodology and results of the Site Inventory Analysis conducted to demonstrate the City of Lindsay’s ability to meet its share of the 6th cycle RHNA. (Chapter D4)
▪ An analysis of issues related to Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) for the City of Lindsay. (Chapter D5)
▪ A Review of Past Accomplishments to review the housing programs adopted in the 5 th Cycle
Housing Element and evaluate the effectiveness of these programs in delivering housing services and assistance. (Chapter D6)
▪ A Housing Plan, which is comprised of the Goals, Policies, and Programs that the City intends to implement over the next eight-year planning cycle. (Chapter D7) Goals, Policies, and Programs
The primary objective of the Housing Element is to encourage the production of new housing units to meet the RHNA and housing for special needs populations. This is done by adopting a series of goals and policies that facilitate the development of all housing types, explore innovative housing solutions, address the needs of the city’s residents, and affirmatively further fair housing. The 2023- 2031 Housing Element Update goals, policies, and programs are summarized below and referenced throughout this Addendum as appropriate.
▪ Regional Collaboration. The 2023-2031 Housing Element Update includes policies and programs to foster collaboration with jurisdictions within Tulare County to address housing issues. ▪ Housing Development. State law requires that the goals and policies of the Housing Element shall encourage and facilitate the production of a range of types of housing affordable to households of varied income levels. The 2023-2031 Housing Element Update includes policies and programs to provide an adequate supply and range of housing types to meet the diverse needs of residents.
▪ Affordable Housing. The 2023-2031 Housing Element Update includes policies and programs to facilitate the development of affordable housing and protect the existing supply of affordable housing to extremely low-, very low-, low- and moderate-income households. ▪ Housing and Neighborhood Preservation. The 2023-2031 Housing Element Update includes policies and programs to preserve and improve the city’s existing housing stock. ▪ Housing for Persons with Special Needs. The 2023-2031 Housing Element Update includes policies and programs to support and provide housing and services for people with special housing needs in the community.

12 ▪ Resource Conservation and Sustainable Development. The 2023-2031 Housing Element Update includes policies and programs to ensure development of energy efficient and sustainable new housing.
▪ Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing. The 2023-2031 Housing Element Update includes policies and programs to promote housing opportunities and access for residents regardless of age, race, religion, sex, marital status, ancestry, national origin, color, disability, or economic level in compliance with local, State, and federal fair housing laws.
2.7 Site Inventory
The Housing Element must demonstrate through the Site Inventory that the City has capacity to meet its share of the RHNA. Lindsay’s share of the RHNA for the current planning period is 789 units, consisting of 151 lower-income housing units, 178 moderate-income housing units, and 460 above moderate-income housing units. The City must demonstrate the availability of sites with appropriate zoning and development standards that can facilitate and encourage the development of such units. The Housing Element Update includes a Site Inventory that accommodates Lindsay’s share of the RHNA plus a buffer of additional housing units as recommended by the HCD. The Site Inventory identifies opportunity sites, which refer to parcels of land identified in a jurisdiction’s Housing Element site inventory as having realistic potential for residential development within the planning period.
The City would meet its RHNA through planned, approved, and pending projects projected to develop during the planning period and adequate sites identified in the Site Inventory, including opportunity sites.
Credits
Credits refer to planned and approved housing projects and accessory dwelling units (ADUs) that count toward a city's RHNA obligation. These credits represent housing units that have been entitled or permitted, or projected ADUs within the 6th cycle, and help demonstrate progress in meeting the jurisdiction’s required housing production targets. Table 4shows the City’s share of RHNA and housing unit yield per income category that is met by housing credits.
PLANNED, APPROVED, AND PENDING PROJECTS
Jurisdictions may count planned, approved, and pending residential units as credits towards their RHNA. These units can be counted toward each income level according to demonstrated affordability, provided it can be demonstrated that the units can be built within the planning period.
These pipeline projects are mostly concentrated in West Lindsay, and consist of single-family and multifamily projects. As shown in Table 4, the City currently has 322 above moderate-income planned, approved, and pending projects, which may be credited towards the City’s RHNA.
ADUS
Jurisdictions may count the potential for ADU development as credits towards their RHNA.
Legislation in California has recently facilitated the increased permitting and production of ADUs in many communities. Since no ADU permits were recorded in Lindsay during the previous planning period, ADUs are not assumed to contribute to the overall share of RHNA.

Sites in Inventory
The City has not identified enough units through the credits described above (ADU development and pending, approved, or permitted projects) to meet the 6th Cycle RHNA for all categories.
Table 5 shows the City’s RHNA and housing unit yield per site category. Therefore, the City identified 23 opportunity sites to include in the Site Inventory to accommodate 171 lower-income units, 234 moderate-income units, and 349 above moderate-income units. The summary of the residential Site Inventory is presented in Table 5.
HOUSING OPPORTUNITY SITES
Housing Opportunity Sites refer to specific parcels of land identified by a city or county as suitable for residential development to accommodate projected housing needs, particularly for different income levels. These sites are included in the Site Inventory, a key component of the Housing Element required by California State law (Government Code Section 65583.2).
As shown in Figure 3, the Site Inventory is broken up into three distinct geographic areas of the city (East, South, and West Lindsay). Please refer to Chapter D4, Lindsay Housing Resources, of the Housing Element Update for details on housing opportunity sites.
Of the 23 sites included in the City’s Site Inventory, 12 are vacant and 11 are on sites with currently operational agricultural uses (nonvacant sites). The Site Inventory includes a surplus of 20 lowerincome units, giving the City a 13 percent buffer for this income category.

2.8 Buildout of Proposed Project and Comparison to
the General Plan EIR
The project is programmatic in nature. It is a policy document that includes targeted programs that facilitate and guide housing development towards designated housing opportunity sites. The Housing Element does not propose to rezone sites to meet the City’s RHNA obligations; it identifies housing opportunity sites which are already properly zoned for housing development. This addendum conducts a comprehensive analysis of Project implementation and evaluates environmental effects of these programs and their cumulative impacts.
The total buildout for the Housing Element Update would be 754 units. As discussed above, new development under the General Plan was anticipated to result in an increase in the city’s population by 21,709 new residents for a total of 29,980 residents by 2010 (City of Lindsay 1989).
CEQA Baseline and Comparison to the General Plan EIR
The CEQA baseline for this analysis is the maximum allowable development for residential uses under the City’s General Plan EIR. The General Plan EIR assumed a buildout of 9,000 new residential units and 21,000 new residents (City of Lindsay 1989). Table 6 compares the potential buildout under the Housing Element Update to the buildout contemplated in the General Plan EIR.
As shown in Table 6, Lindsay had a population of 8,271 in 1989 (City of Lindsay 1989). As of 2024, Lindsay has a population of 12,594 and 3,557 households as of May 2024 (California Department of Finance [DOF] 2024). This represents an increase of 4,323 residents and 983 housing units since the General Plan EIR was certified. The growth in Lindsay occurred at a slower rate than was anticipated by the 1989 General Plan, and there is a remaining capacity of 5,443 housing units, or 17,386 persons, before the full anticipated General Plan buildout is reached.
The proposed Housing Element Update is expected to result in an increase of 754 units, or 2,669 residents1to meet its State-mandated RHNA. This would result in a total city population of 15,263, which is below the anticipated General Plan total buildout of 29,980 residents. As shown in Table 6, this increase is well within growth projections anticipated in the City of Lindsay’s General Plan EIR.
The projected growth aligns with RHNA requirements and is consistent with regional housing expectation. Additionally, the Housing Element Update does not directly drive population growth, but rather aims to prepare for anticipated development within the region. The proposed Project is intended to assist the City in achieving the vision of the existing 1989 General Plan and provide the necessary housing units to accommodate the anticipated growth and assist the City in meeting its RHNA for the 6th Cycle Housing Element period.
The Project would not exceed General Plan buildout projections, and because the General Plan EIR analyzed impacts associated with full General Plan buildout, the Project would not be expected to result in new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. A full analysis of the potential for new or substantially more severe environmental effects is provided in Section 6, Addendum Evaluation. 1Based on a residential unit increase of 754 units multiplied by 3.54 persons per household (DOF 2024) City of Lindsay

2.9 Zoning Text Amendment
The City of Lindsay is updating its Zoning Code to establish a By-Right Approval Ordinance (new Section 18.15.130, By Right Approvals). The ordinance will require ministerial approval for eligible affordable housing projects, and per State law, exempts those projects from CEQA. Codified under Government Code Sections 65583.2 and 65913.4, this applies to projects that include at least 20 percent of units affordable to low-income households on Housing Element inventory sites assumed to accommodate lower-income development and that are vacant and used in two prior Housing Element site inventories, or nonvacant and listed in one prior Housing Element site inventory. The ordinance brings the Zoning Code into compliance with State law, allowing projects to proceed without discretionary review and making them exempt from CEQA. Sites that are subject to by-right approval requirements are listed in Table 7, below. These sites are listed in the City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element Site Inventory and meet the criteria for reuse sites described above.

2.10 Zoning Map Amendment
The proposed Zoning Map Amendment would rezone 13 parcels from IL (Limited Industrial) to MXU (mixed-use) to establish consistency with their underlying General Plan Land Use designations. All development must be consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, and therefore the change in zoning would not allow development not already allowed by the General Plan. The amendment to the Zoning Map only brings the sites’ zoning into conformance with the General Plan Land Use designation.

3 Overview of CEQA Guidelines Sections
15162 and 15164
CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164 set forth the criteria for determining the appropriate additional environmental documentation, if any, to be completed when a project has a previously certified EIR.
CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 states that a lead agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary. None of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a) states that no Subsequent or Supplemental EIR shall be prepared for a project with a certified EIR unless the lead agency determines, based on substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following:
1. Substantial changes are proposed in the project that will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
2. Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
3. New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete, shows any of the following:
A. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR.
B. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR.
C. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
D. Mitigation measures or alternatives that are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
The analysis pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 demonstrates whether the lead agency can approve the activity as being within the scope of the existing certified EIR, that an addendum to the existing EIR would be appropriate, and no new environmental document, such as a new EIR, would be required. The addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the Final EIR, and the decision-making body shall consider the addendum with the Final EIR prior to deciding on the Project.
According to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, an addendum to a previously certified EIR is the appropriate environmental document in instances when “only minor technical changes or additions are necessary” and when the new information does not involve new significant environmental City of Lindsay
City of Lindsay Housing Element Update 2023-2031
18 effects or a substantial increase in the severity of a significant effect beyond those identified in the previous EIR. CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 states that:
a. The lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. b. An addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred.
c. An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the final EIR.
d. The decision-making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR prior to making a decision on the project.
e. A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency’s findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record.
The City has prepared this Addendum, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164, to evaluate whether the Project’s environmental impacts are covered by and within the scope of the City of Lindsay’s General Plan EIR (certified July 1989, State Clearinghouse #1989080714). This Addendum details any changes in the Project, changes in circumstances under which the Project is undertaken, and/or "new information of substantial importance" that may cause one or more effects to environmental resources.
The analysis herein substantiates and supports the City’s determination that the proposed Project is within the scope of the General Plan EIR, does not require subsequent action under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and, in conjunction with the EIR, adequately analyzes potential environmental impacts.

5 Addendum Evaluation Methodology
5.1 General Plan Consistency
The Housing Element is a component of the General Plan and is periodically updated pursuant to State law. Therefore, the project is consistent with the vision of the General Plan and is supported by goals and policies of the other General Plan Elements. The General Plan Elements and policies that correspond with the goals and policies of the Housing Element are summarized below:
▪ The Land Use Element includes goals, objectives, policies, and standards for residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, and public and institutional development within Lindsay. It includes the land use classification system and buildout of the General Plan. ▪ The Community Development Element includes goals, objectives, policies, and standards for establishing a safe and efficient transportation system that provides adequate access throughout the city.
▪ The Resource Management Element includes goals, objectives, policies, and standards for the conservation, development, and use of open space and natural resources within the city.
Adoption of the Housing Element Update will require the City to amend the General Plan by replacing the existing Housing Element with the proposed Housing Element Update.
5.2 Preliminary Environmental Constraints
State housing law requires the city to review both governmental and non-governmental constraints to the maintenance and production of housing for all income levels. Since local governmental actions can restrict the development and increase the cost of housing, State law requires the Housing Element to “address and, where appropriate and legally possible, remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing” (Government Code Section 65583[c][3]). Several factors can constrain residential development. These include market constraints, such as development costs and interest rates, and governmental constraints, which include land use controls, fees, processing times, and development standards, among others. In addition, environmental and infrastructure constraints can also impede residential development.
For purposes of the Addendum, only the potential environmental constraints, as they relate to CEQA, were evaluated.
Environmental constraints to residential development typically relate to the presence of sensitive habitat, flooding, topography, and other natural and physical characteristics that can limit the amount of development in an area or increase the cost of development. The Housing Element Update, in and of itself, does not propose specific development projects, but rather puts forth goals, policies, and programs that support housing efforts in Lindsay. Future housing development projects would be subject to developmental review to determine potential impacts specific to that project site.

22 6 Addendum Evaluation
6.1 Introduction
As discussed in Section 2.9, above, the total buildout for the Housing Element Update would be 754 units and the Zoning Code Update would not result in physical changes. All of these units would be consistent with the growth projections of the General Plan, and therefore would be within the scope of the General Plan EIR since growth within the city has occurred at a slower rate than was anticipated. Therefore, growth anticipated and evaluated under the General Plan is applicable to the proposed Project. General Plan EIR findings and analysis of the proposed Project’s impacts are included for each Appendix G section below.
6.2 Aesthetics
General Plan EIR Findings
The General Plan EIR does not discuss aesthetic impacts in detail; however, because it is now required, a discussion of impacts is provided below.
Addendum Analysis
The Housing Element Update is a policy document that identifies 754 housing opportunity sites located throughout the City that were evaluated previously for potential environmental impacts in the General Plan EIR. The Zoning Code Update would not result in any physical development. The Zoning Map Amendment only establishes consistency between subject parcels’ zoning and land use designations and would not change the development potential of the rezoned sites.
The Housing Element Update, does not directly include specific housing developments, but puts forth goals and policies that support housing efforts in Lindsay consistent with the overall vision of the General Plan. Because it is a policy document, the Housing Element Update would not, in and of itself, result in impacts to scenic vistas, scenic resources, or visual character, and will not create new sources of substantial light or glare which could adversely affects views. In addition, the proposed buildout would be within the buildout contemplated in the General Plan EIR. The Zoning Code Update would exempt certain housing projects from further CEQA review, and would prohibit any discretionary review, which could result in some of the City’s discretionary development standards or guidelines not being applied to a qualifying project. However, these limitations are already required under State law, so the Zoning Code Update does not result in any new impacts to aesthetics.
All future development would be subject to adopted development guidelines, including standards that govern visual quality and community design, including General Plan policies in the Land Use Element that preserve the community image. Specifically, future development would be required to comply with General Plan policies.
Conclusion
The project would not result in impacts beyond those addressed or analyzed in the General Plan EIR nor present new information that shows impacts would be more significant than those described in Addendum Evaluation
Addendum Evaluation 23
the General Plan EIR. Therefore, the General Plan EIR applies to the project and no additional environmental assessment of aesthetics is required.
6.3 Agriculture and Forestry
General Plan EIR Findings
Agriculture and forestry resources are discussed on page 90 of Section D in the General Plan EIR.
The General Plan EIR determined that implementation of the General Plan would be less than significant with mitigation measures. The mitigation measures would involve a phased development policy, redesignation of lands, prevention of further fragmentation of the urban pattern, orderly conversion, and efficient urban development.
Addendum Analysis
The Housing Element Update is a policy document that identifies 754 housing opportunity sites located throughout the City that were evaluated previously for potential environmental impacts in the General Plan EIR. The Zoning Code Update would not result in any physical development. The Zoning Map Amendment only establishes consistency between subject parcels’ zoning and land use designations and would not change the development potential of the rezoned sites.
As outlined under Section 2.6, Accommodation of the RHNA, 13 sites in the Site Inventory are located on land currently designated important farmland. However, the land is currently zoned for residential or mixed use land uses, and the existing agricultural uses are not subject to the Williamson Act. The General Plan policies and actions aim to focus new growth and development at infill locations and to protect open space areas and agricultural lands, including policies in the Community Development and Resource Management Elements, which aim to reduce the impact of urbanization on agricultural lands. Future development facilitated by the Housing Element Update would be required to adhere to these policies and actions, thereby reducing impacts related to the loss of Prime Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance, and Unique Farmland to the furthest extent possible, and would continue to be required with implementation of the proposed Project.
Additionally, because it is a policy document, the Housing Element Update would not directly result in impacts to farmland. The Housing Element Update does not include specific projects involving new housing development but puts forth goals and policies that support housing efforts in City of Lindsay consistent with the overall vision of the General Plan. The proposed buildout would be within the buildout contemplated in the General Plan EIR. The proposed Project would be required to adhere to General Plan policies. This includes Open Space for Managed Resource Production Policy 1, which commits the city to avoid the premature conversion of agricultural lands inside and outside the city limits.
Future development facilitated by the Housing Element Update would undergo project-specific developmental review, including design review, and would be subject to adopted development regulations. The proposed Project would implement the General Plan, thereby resulting in the same agriculture and forestry impacts from new development as evaluated in the certified EIR.
Conclusion
The adoption of the project does not involve changes to the current adopted land use or zoning designations. The Project would not result in impacts beyond those addressed or analyzed in the General Plan EIR nor present new information that shows impacts would be more significant than City of Lindsay

24 those described in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, the General Plan EIR applies to the project and no additional environmental assessment of agriculture and forestry resources is required.
6.4 Air Quality
General Plan EIR Findings
Air quality is discussed on page 89 of Section D in the General Plan EIR. The General Plan EIR determined that the General Plan would result in less than significant impacts related to air quality.
Mitigation measures are also included to enhance air quality. These include construction of Route 65 to expressway standards, arterial street improvement, intersection widening and signalization, provision of left-hand turn lanes, industrial performance standards, industrial process review, and construction dust control.
Addendum Analysis
The Housing Element Update is a policy document consistent with the General Plan. The Housing Element Update includes 754 housing opportunity sites located throughout the City that were evaluated previously for potential environmental impacts in the General Plan EIR. that could accommodate new or additional housing units. Most vacant sites are infill sites where development and infrastructure already exist throughout the area. The Zoning Code Update does not involve any physical development. The Zoning Map amendment does not change the development potential of the rezoned sites and does not result in any new impacts to air quality.
The proposed Housing Element Update buildout would be within the buildout contemplated in the General Plan EIR. The Housing Element Update does not include specific projects involving new housing development but puts forth goals and policies that support housing efforts in Lindsay consistent with the overall vision of the General Plan. Because it is a policy document, the Housing Element Update would not directly result in impacts to air quality. Potential air quality-related impacts cannot be assessed in a meaningful way until a project-specific analysis is done covering the size of the development which includes construction air quality emissions, project operational emissions and potential vehicle miles traveled. Short-term air quality impacts resulting from construction of the sites, such as dust generated by clearing and grading activities, exhaust emissions from gas- and diesel-powered construction equipment, and vehicular emissions associated with the commuting of construction workers will be subject to San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) rules and protocols. Similarly, operational impacts would be addressed by provisions in the General Plan, the City’s Municipal Code, and other regulations and standards that govern air quality in Lindsay.
The General Plan policies and actions support the reduction of air quality impacts, including Open Space for Health, Welfare, and Well-Being Policies 1 through 5 on page 63, which would require industrial process reviews performed by licensed engineers to ensure compliance with air quality standards and also mandate measures to control dust during construction, including watering, equipment use restrictions, and prohibiting land grading during high winds. Future development facilitated by the Housing Element Update would be required to adhere to these policies and actions.

Most vacant sites are infill sites where development and infrastructure already exist throughout the area.
The Housing Element Update does not include specific projects involving new housing development but puts forth goals and policies that support housing efforts in Lindsay consistent with the overall vision of the General Plan. Because it is a policy document, the Housing Element Update would not directly result in impacts to utilities and service systems. In addition, the proposed buildout would be within the buildout contemplated in the General Plan EIR. All future development consistent with the Housing Element Update would be subject to adopted development guidelines and other regulatory requirements concerning water, wastewater, storm drains, solid waste, and other infrastructure; water supply; and wastewater treatment systems.
Conclusion
The adoption of the project does not involve changes to the current adopted land uses or zoning designations. The project would not result in impacts beyond those addressed or analyzed in the General Plan EIR nor present new information that shows impacts would be more significant than those described in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, the General Plan EIR applies to the project and no additional environmental assessment of utilities and service systems is required.

38 6.21 Wildfire
General Plan EIR Findings
Wildfire impacts are discussed in Part VI of the General Plan. The General Plan EIR determined that impacts related to wildfires would be less than significant.
Addendum Analysis
The General Plan goals and policies support reduction of impacts to wildfire. Policies and actions in the General Plan included as mitigation in the General Plan EIR are implemented to help reduce impacts to the greatest extent possible. Future development facilitated by the Housing Element Update would be required to adhere to these policies and actions. The Zoning Code Update would not result in any physical development. The Zoning Map Amendment only establishes consistency between subject parcels’ zoning and land use designations and would not change the development potential of the rezoned sites.
The Housing Element Update is a policy document consistent with the General Plan. The Housing Element Update includes 754 housing opportunity sites located throughout the City that were evaluated previously for potential environmental impacts in the General Plan EIR. Most vacant sites are infill sites where development and infrastructure already exist throughout the area.
The Housing Element Update does not include specific projects involving new housing development but puts forth goals and policies that support housing efforts in Lindsay consistent with the overall vision of the General Plan. Because it is a policy document, the Housing Element Update would not directly result in impacts to wildfire. The nearest very high fire hazard severity zone (VHFHSZ) is located approximately 9 miles northeast of Lindsay. Future development consistent with the Housing Element Update would be required to comply with applicable regulations and requirements related to wildfire. These include policies in the General Plan under the Safety Element, which requires the City to maintain a street system capable of addressing urban fires and ensuring the safe evacuation of residents during emergencies.
Conclusion
The adoption of the project does not involve changes to the current adopted land uses or zoning designations. The project would not result in impacts beyond those addressed or analyzed in the General Plan EIR nor present new information that shows impacts would be more significant than those described in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, the General Plan EIR applies to the project and no additional environmental assessment of wildfire is required.
Cumulative Impacts
Addendum Evaluation 39
7 Cumulative Impacts
In addition to the specific impacts of individual projects, CEQA requires consideration of potential cumulative impacts of the proposed Project. CEQA defines “cumulative impacts” as two or more individual impacts that, when considered together, are substantial or will compound other environmental impacts. Cumulative impacts are the combined changes in the environment that result from the incremental impact of development of the proposed Project and other past, present, and probable future projects producing related or cumulative impacts. For example, noise impacts of two nearby projects may be less than significant when analyzed separately but could have a significant impact when analyzed together. The cumulative impact analysis provides a reasonable forecast of future environmental conditions and can more accurately gauge the effects of a series of projects.
CEQA Guidelines Section 15130 requires cumulative impact analysis in EIRs to consider either a list of planned and pending projects that may contribute to cumulative effects or a summary of projections contained in an adopted planning document such as a general plan.
7.1 General Plan EIR Findings
Cumulative impacts of the General Plan were considered based on the geographic areas immediately surrounding the proposed project location. The cumulative analysis considered development allowed by existing general plan documents for adjacent jurisdictions. The General Plan EIR determined that impacts to air quality, hydrology and water quality, hazards and hazardous materials, noise, population and housing, public services, and cultural resources would be less than cumulatively considerable. Impacts to transportation would be significant, unavoidable, and cumulatively considerable.
7.2 Addendum Analysis
Since certification of the 1989 General Plan EIR, there has been new development proposed within the city that was not considered as part of the 1989 General Plan EIR. However, there are no new substantial cumulative projects in the city or adjacent jurisdictions that were not previously considered in the 1989 General Plan EIR cumulative impact analysis. This is because the scale and nature of the new development is consistent with the growth projections and land use patterns already analyzed in the 1989 EIR, ensuring that no new cumulative impacts would arise.
The cumulative conditions in the 1989 General Plan EIR have not substantially changed; therefore, the cumulative setting in the 1989 General Plan EIR remains the same for the purposes of this analysis. The proposed Project would not result in new impacts compared to the 1989 General Plan EIR as analyzed in this Addendum. The Project would not modify the physical development area of the city. Therefore, no new or additional cumulatively considerable contributions to a significant cumulative impact would occur as a result of the Project.

None of the conditions listed in preparation of a subsequent EIR have been met.
Conclusion
Addendum Evaluation 41
8 Conclusion
The City of Lindsay, acting as the lead agency, has determined that an addendum to the General Plan EIR is the appropriate environmental document under CEQA because the proposed Project would not require revisions to the certified General Plan EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or substantial increases in the severity of significant effects previously identified in the General Plan EIR.
There are no changed circumstances or new information that meet the standards requiring further environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. Thus, these circumstances and information would not result in new or more severe impacts beyond what were addressed in the General Plan EIR and would not meet any other standards under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3). No additional analysis is required based on the discussions throughout this addendum.
The proposed Housing Element Update would not involve development in areas not assumed for development in the General Plan EIR, nor would it result in population growth and density beyond what was analyzed in the General Plan EIR or anticipated as evident by the State RHNA accommodation. The Project would not result in significant or substantially more severe impacts that were not discussed in the General Plan EIR. Also, there are no previously identified significant effects which, as a result of substantial new information that was not known at the time of the previous environmental review, would be substantially more severe than discussed in the General Plan EIR. Accordingly, no additional CEQA review is required.
CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 states that “[t]he lead agency or a responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred.” An addendum is therefore appropriate because, as explained above, none of the conditions calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred.

HOUSING ELEMENT
WHEREAS, the City of Lindsay is committed to maintaining a zoning and subdivision code that is consistent with current state law, and the Lindsay General Plan; and
WHEREAS, the City of Lindsay has prepared Zoning Ordinance Update No. 25-616 to revise a portion of Chapters 18.14 and Chapter 18.15 of Title 18 (Zoning) of the Lindsay Municipal Code to ensure compliance with recent changes to state law and to support the implementation of housing and land use policies in the updated General Plan and Housing Element; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 18.22.050 of the Lindsay Municipal Code, the City Council has reviewed the proposed amendments and determined that they are necessary to achieve the objectives of the Zoning Ordinance described in Section
18.01.020 and are consistent with the General Plan and the stated purposes of the affected zoning classifications; and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Ordinance text amendment of chapter 18.15 of Title 18 (Zoning) has been analyzed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164, to evaluate whether the project’s environmental impacts are covered by and within the scope of the City of Lindsay’s General Plan EIR (certified July 1989, State Clearinghouse #1989080714).
The City prepared an Addendum detailing any changes in the project, changes in circumstances under which the project is undertaken, and/or "new information of substantial importance" that may cause one or more effects to environmental resources, and determined that the proposed project is within the scope of the General Plan EIR, does not require subsequent action under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and, in conjunction with the EIR, adequately analyzes potential environmental impacts; and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Ordinance text amendment of Chapter 18.14 of Title 18 (Zoning) the City Council finds that the adoption of this ordinance is statutorily exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to: Public Resource Code Section 21080.17, which exempts the adoption of an ordinance by a city or county to implement the provisions of Government Sode Sections 65852.2 regarding Accessory Dwelling units (ADUs); and WHEREAS, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on December 9, 2025, at which time all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard, and evidence and testimony were considered; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the proposed amendments are necessary to comply with state housing mandates, facilitate housing production, and enhance the clarity, usability, and effectiveness of the City's land use regulations.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LINDSAY DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1.
The City Council hereby approves Zoning Ordinance Update No. 25-616, amending Title 18 (Zoning Ordinance) of the Lindsay Municipal Code, as summarized in the staff report presented to the City Council and incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2.
The Zoning Ordinance text amendment of Chapter 18.15 of Title 18 (Zoning) has been analyzed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164, to evaluate whether the project’s environmental impacts are covered by and within the scope of the City of Lindsay’s General Plan EIR (certified July 1989, State Clearinghouse #1989080714).
The Addendum concludes that the proposed amendment would not result in any significant new environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts. As a Municipal Code text amendment that is consistent with the scope of the prior environmental analysis, the proposed action does not require further environmental review under CEQA.

When a use has been added to a list of permitted uses in accordance with the procedure prescribed in this section, the use shall be deemed to be listed as a permitted use in the appropriate section and shall be added to the text of that section of the zoning ordinance when it is next published with a notation of the date when the use was added to the list.
(Ord. 437 § 1 (part), 1989)
18.15.020 Coverage; Measurement
The percent of the site area covered by structures shall be measured by dividing the number of square feet of horizontal floor area covered by structures, open or enclosed, by the total horizontal area within the property lines of the site.
(Ord. 437 § 1 (part), 1989)
18.15.030 Yard Spaces
A. No yard space about any structure in compliance with the regulations for the district in which it is located shall be deemed to provide a yard for any other structure, and no yard on one site shall be deemed to provide a yard space for a structure on another site.
B. Where two or more dwellings are located on the same lot, and any one of them has a door facing a side yard, such dwelling shall be located not less than ten feet from the adjacent side lot line. A door shall be deemed to face a side yard if the wall in which the door is set is located at an angle of fortyfive degrees or less to the side yard. (Ord. 437 § 1 (part), 1989)
18.15.040 Yard Requirements; Measurement
Required yards shall be measured as the minimum horizontal distance from the property line of the site or street line to a line parallel thereto on the site; provided, that where a precise street plan has been adopted by the city council, required front yards shall be measured from the plan line, and no provision of this title shall be construed to permit a structure or use to extend beyond such line and, provided further, that where a site abuts on a street having only a portion of its required width dedicated or reserved for street purposes, site area and required yards shall be measured from a line representing the boundary of the additional width required for street purposes abutting the site. Where a site abuts a public alley, required yards shall be measured from the nearest line of the alley, except that garages and carports shall be located a minimum of twenty-seven feet from the opposite alley which has access perpendicular to the alley right-of-way line. (Ord. 437 § 1 (part), 1989)

A landscaped area provided in compliance with the regulations prescribed in this title or as a condition of a site plan review, a use permit or variance shall be planted with live and healthy plant materials suitable for screening or ornamenting the site, whichever is appropriate, and plant materials shall be replaced as needed to screen or ornament the site. Landscaped areas shall be watered, weeded, pruned, fertilized, sprayed or otherwise maintained to assure compliance with the regulations requiring landscaped areas. Landscaped areas within sites subject to site plan review shall be watered by automatic systems. (Ord. 437 § 1 (part), 1989)
18.15.080 Maintenance And Elimination OfNonconforming Sites, Uses And Structures A. Purposes and Application.
1. A nonconforming use is a use of a structure or land which was lawfully established and maintained prior to the adoption of this title, but which does not conform with the use regulations for the district in which it is located. This section is intended to limit the number and extent of nonconforming uses by limiting their enlargement and prohibiting their reestablishment after abandonment, and by prohibiting the alteration of the structures they occupy and their restoration after destruction.
2. A nonconforming structure is a structure which waslawfully erected prior to the adoption of this title, but which does not conform with the standards of coverage, yard space, height of structures or distance between structures prescribed in the regulations for the district in which the structure is located. While permitting the use and maintenance of nonconforming structures, this section is intended to limit the number and extent of nonconforming structures by prohibiting their being moved, altered or enlarged so as to increase the discrepancy between existing conditions and the standards prescribed in this title and by prohibiting their restoration after destruction, within a reasonable period of time.
3. Priorities for enforcement under this section shall be as follows, in descending order of importance:
a. Useslisted undersubsection G below.
b. Nonconforming uses.
B. Continuation and Maintenance.
1. A use lawfully occupying a structure or a site on the effective date hereof or of amendments thereto which does not conform with the use regulations for the district in which the use is located shall be deemed to be a nonconforming use and may be continued, except as otherwise provided in this section.
2. A structure lawfully occupying a site on the effective date hereof or of amendments thereto, which does not conform with the standards of coverage, front yard, side yards, rear yard or distances between structures prescribed in the regulations for the district in which the structure is located, shall be deemed to be a nonconforming structure and may be used and maintained except as otherwise provided in this section.
3. A sign or outdoor advertising display of any character lawfully occupying a site on the effective date hereof or amendments thereto, which does not conform with the standards for subject matter, location, size, lighting or movement prescribed for the district in which it is located, shall be deemed to be a nonconforming sign or outdoor advertising structure, and may be displayed and maintained except as otherwise provided in this section.
4. Routine maintenance and repairs may be performed on a structure or site, the use of which is nonconforming, on a nonconforming structure and on a nonconforming sign or outdoor advertising structure.
C. Alterations and Additions to Nonconforming Uses and Signs. Except as provided in subsections D through I of this section, no structure, the use of which is nonconforming, and no nonconforming sign shall be moved, altered or enlarged unless required by law or unless the moving, alteration or enlargement will result in the elimination of the nonconforming use. No structure partially occupied by a nonconforming use shall be moved, altered or enlarged in such a way as to permit the enlargement of the space occupied by the nonconforming use.
D. Alterations and Additions to Nonconforming Structures. No nonconforming structure shall be altered or reconstructed so as to increase the amount of floor space or the discrepancy between existing conditions and the standard of coverage, front yards, side yards, rear yard, height of structure or distances between structures prescribed in the regulations prescribed for the district in which the structure islocated, except as may be permitted through the granting of a conditional use permit under the provisions of Chapter
18.17. The modest expansion of a nonconforming use which may be allowed within any zoning district under conditional use permit procedures shall not exceed twenty-five percent of the existing floor area of the structure.
E. Abandonment of a Nonconforming Use. Whenever a nonconforming use has been abandoned, discontinued or changed to a conforming use for a continuous period of six months, the nonconforming use shall not be reestablished and the use of the structure or site thereafter shall be in conformity with the regulations for the district in which it is located.
F. Restoration of a Damaged Structure.
1. Whenever a nonconforming use, or a nonconforming structure shall be destroyed by fire or other calamity, or by an act of God or by the public enemy to the extent of less than sixty percent, the structure may be restored and the nonconforming use may be resumed; provided, that restoration is started within six months and diligently pursued to completion. The extent of damage to any structure shall be determined by the building official, and shall be based upon the ratio of the estimated cost ofrestoring the use orstructure to its condition prior to such damage to the estimated cost of duplicating the entire structure as it existed prior thereto.
2. Whenever a nonconforming use or a nonconforming structure shall be destroyed by fire or other calamity, or by an act of God or by the public enemy to the extent of sixty percent or more, or shall be voluntarily razed orshall be required by law to be razed, the structure shall not be restored except in full conformity with the regulations for the district in which it is located and the nonconforming use shall not be resumed.
G. Elimination of Nonconforming Uses and Structures.
1. The following nonconforming uses and structures shall be discontinued and completely removed or altered and converted to a conforming status within five years after the effective date of this title:
a. A nonconforming use which does not occupy a structure. b. A nonconforming use occupying a structure having an assessed valuation of lessthan two hundred dollars.
c. A nonconforming outdoor advertising structure.
d. Abandoned or dilapidated signs in accordance with the provisions of Section
18.14.040(D)(11).
2. A nonconforming home occupation shall be discontinued within one year of the adoption of this title.
3. Uses permitted only within an RA, R or RM district which are located in a C or I district, and uses permitted only within a C or I district which are located within an RA, R or RM district shall be completely removed or altered and converted to a conforming status upon abandonment of the previous use for six months or more. When a nonconforming use is removed, every future use shall be in conformity with the provisions of this title. Repairs necessary to maintain a nonconforming use and other maintenance (excluding signs), not exceeding an assessed valuation of two thousand five hundred dollars,shall not be construed as lengthening the useful life of the nonconforming use.
4. Fences, walls and hedges which do not conform to the provisions of this title governing the erection of fences, walls and hedges in relation to street intersections shall, within one month of receipt of written notification by the community development department, be removed or made to conform.
H. Time When Use, Structure or Sign Becomes Nonconforming. Whenever a use or structure becomes nonconforming because of a change of zoning district boundaries or a change of regulations for the district in which the site is located, the period of time prescribed in this section for the elimination of the use shall be computed from the effective date of the change of district or regulations, and the building officialshall carry out the provisions ofsubsection I ofthissection, in respect thereto.
I. Records and Notification of Nonconforming Status of a Use, Structure or Sign.
1. Within one hundred eighty days after the effective date hereof, and amendments thereto, the community development department shall compile a list of all structures or uses which shall have become nonconforming by the adoption of this title under the provisions of subsection H of this section, together with a description of their locations and the names and addresses of all persons whose names appear on the latest adopted tax roll of Tulare County as owning such nonconforming structures, uses or signs, which list shall be recorded in the office of the Tulare County recorder with copies placed on file with each title company operating within Tulare County.
2. Within one year after the effective date hereof, the community development department shall notify, in writing, the owners of all nonconforming structures, uses, signs and fences, walls and hedges, of the nonconforming status of their property and the date when such structure or use shall be removed or made conforming by said owners, if such removal or conformance is required by the provisions of this title. An excerpt of this title will be attached to said notice which excerpt shall include all of the provisions of this section.
J. Effect of Eminent Domain. If any land, right-of-way or easement be taken by eminent domain, or be granted to the condemner under actual threat of suit in eminent domain, the following provisions and exceptions shall apply:
1. If the area of a lot is reduced below the minimum requirement thereby, such lot shall be deemed to be a legal substandard lot under the provisions of Section 18.02.030(G), and any existing building or structure thereon shall be deemed to be nonconforming.
2. If a required yard isreduced or eliminated thereby, any affected building orstructure shall be deemed nonconforming; provided, however, that such building or structure may be structurally altered or enlarged as long as such alterations or enlargements comply with all other requirements of the zoning district.
3. If any required parking space on a lot is reduced or eliminated thereby, the provisions of Chapter
18.13 shall not be construed to require the replacement of the required parking space.
K. Change of Nonconforming Use. Except as otherwise set forth in this section, the nonconforming use of a structure or site may be changed to another nonconforming use provided the change of use is approved by the city council in accordance with the following procedure:
1. An application for a change of use shall be made to the city council on a form prescribed by the council, which form shall include the following data:
a. The name and address of the applicant;
b. A statement that the applicant is the owner of the property or is the authorized agent of the owner;
c. The address or description of the property; and
d. A statement of the precise nature of the existing or preexisting nonconforming use, the proposed nonconforming use, and any other data pertinent to the findings prerequisite to the granting of the application as set forth in subsection (K)(4) of this section. The application shall be filed with the community development department. Notice shall be given to the applicant ofthe time when the application will be considered by the council, and notice may be given of the time to any other interested party.
2. The council shall hold a public hearing on an application for a change of use. Notice of the hearing shall be given not less than ten days nor more than thirty days prior to the date of the hearing in the manner set forth in Chapter 18.17 of this code.
3. The city services director shall make an investigation of the application and shall prepare a written report thereon, which report shall be submitted to the council. The council shall consider the report of the director before taking action on the application.

Daymon Qualls, City Manager
City of Lindsay
251 East Honolulu Street
Lindsay, California 93247
Dear Daymon Qualls:
RE: City of Lindsay’s 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Revised Draft Housing Element Thank you for submitting the City of Lindsay’s (City) revised draft housing element received for review on March 19, 2025. Pursuant to Government Code section 65585, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is reporting the results of its review.
The revised draft element addresses many statutory requirements described in HCD’s October 15, 2024 review; however, revisions will be necessary to substantially comply with State Housing Element Law (Gov. Code, § 65580 et. seq.), as follows:
1. Affirmatively further[ing] fair housing in accordance with Chapter 15 (commencing with Section 8899.50) of Division 1 of Title 2…shall include an assessment of fair housing in the jurisdiction. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(10)(A).)
Promote and affirmatively further fair housing opportunities and promote housing throughout the community or communities for all persons regardless of race, religion, sex, marital status, ancestry, national origin, color, familial status, or disability, and other characteristics... (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(5).) Racial/Ethnic Areas of Concentration of Poverty (R/ECAP): While the element now includes some demographics and discusses accessibility to community amenities related to R/ECAPs in the City, it should include a specific analysis to better formulate policies and programs. A specific analysis should address characteristics of the neighborhoods, changes over time, neighborhood conditions in terms of quality of life (e.g., housing conditions, infrastructure, parks, community amenities, safe routes to school, environmental health) in comparison to other neighborhoods, effectiveness or absence of past strategies and consider local data and knowledge and other relevant factors. The element must add or modify significant and meaningful programs based on the outcomes of this analysis.
Daymon Qualls, City Manager
