City Council Staff Report Page 1 of 2
Date: March 18, 2026
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Michael Chandler, City Manager
Prepared By: Joe Enke, Public Works Director
Joe Becker, Public Works Superintendent
Title: Authorize Equipment Purchases

Recommendation
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute purchase order s with Vermeer Corporation for one 2026 Vermeer BC1500 Brush Chipper in an amount not to exceed $106,658 and with Turf Star Incorporated for one 2026 Toro Groundsmaster 4100-D Sports Field Mower, in an amount not to exceed $113,167.

Background
The City’s purchasing policy allows the City to purchase goods without undergoing a competitive bid process if the City utilizes pricing obtained by another entity through a competitive process.

On October 8, 2024, Sourcewell released request for proposal 112624 for Grounds Maintenance Equipment and Related Attachments. The solicitation was released for approximately 50 days, and 55 proposals were submitted. Upon review of proposals, the Sourcewell Proposal Evaluation Committee selected The Toro Company as the best, most responsive proposer to meet the specifications thusly awarding Contract No. 112624-TTC. The Toro Company partners with regional distributors to manage sales through the Sourcewell contract. Within the City, Turf Starr Incorporated represents the Toro brand.

On November 21, 2024, Sourcewell released request for proposal 010925 for Tree Maintenance Equipment, Attachments and Accessories. The solicitation was released for approximately 49 days, and 21 proposals were submitted. Upon review of proposals, the Sourcewell Proposal Evaluation Committee selected Vermeer Corporation as the best, most responsive proposer to meet the specifications resulting in their award of Contract No. 010925-VRM.

Public Works purchases vehicles and equipment via cooperative contracts to ensure competitive pricing. These vehicles are specialized and require specialized equipment and installation. Once the new mower and chipper have arrived, the replaced equipment will be sent to auction. Auction proceeds are returned to the Equipment Maintenance Fund to support future vehicle purchases and administrative costs.

13 City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 2
Discussion
The Public Works Department routinely reviews rolling stock assets utilized in the day -to-day City operations and prioritizes the replacement of assets at the end of their useful life. The City’s competitive bidding requirements for this purchase have been satisfied through the utilization of Sourcewell Contract No. 112624-TTC and Contract No. 010925-VRM. Additionally, City Council approval of the equipment is required given these purchases exceed $100,000.

This replacement equipment is needed by the Public Works Department Maintenance Division to provide routine and timely turf care of athletic fields and tree maintenance on streets and in parks.

The proposed new equipment meets the latest Tier 4 standards of the EPA and of the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB), which are listed in CARB’s In‑Use Off ‑Road Diesel ‑Fueled Fleets Regulations (Off‑Road Regulation). The Off ‑Road Regulation requires fleets to reduce their emissions by phasing out older engines and replacing them i n favor of Tier 4 technology.

Tier 4 standards target two exhaust pollutants. The first is particulate matter (PM), which contains soot and other unconsumed hydrocarbons. The second is NOx, a chemical compound made up of nitrogen and oxygen. NOx is the main pollutant in smog.

The proposed new equipment will be fueled by renewable diesel and replaced at the end of their lifecycles with electric equipment if such alternatives are available at that time.

Fiscal Impact
The FY 2025-26 Equipment Replacement budget includes funding in Fund 81 for the replacement of this equipment.

14 CHIPPING PRODUCTIVITY. The SmartFeed
system monitors engine rpm and automatically
stops and reverses the feed rollers to enhance
production. This system also senses feed roller
jams and manipulates the material automatically
to reduce the need for manual control bar use.

EASILY LIFT HEAVY MATERIAL. An optional
winch allows operators to move large logs
effortlessly. The 150' (45.7 m) winch line can
handle logs up to 2000 lb (907.2 kg) and can
automatically lift the logs onto the feed table.

OPERATOR SAFETY. Mounted over the feed
table, the four-position upper feed control bar
enables the operator to stop the feed rollers and
select forward/reverse. The patented bottom feed
stop bar is strategically located to make it possible
for an operator’s leg to strike the bar and shut
off the feed mechanism either intentionally or
automatically in an emergency situation.

TAKE CONTROL. With the optional Tree
Commander™ remote control, jobsite productivity
can be improved by allowing the operator to control
brush chipper functions remotely. The remote can
be attached to the operator’s belt or held in an
optional bracket mounted directly to the operator’s
station of a Vermeer compact utility loader.

ENGINE OPTIONS. The BC1500 is offered in
either a 165 hp (123 kW) PSI 5.6L gasoline engine
and 130 hp (97 kW) Cummins QSF 3.8L Tier 4
Final engine.

SMOOTH FEEDING. Vertical feed rollers with
helical cleats help hold material fi rmly to the
infeed table, which reduces vibration, shock and
structural loading to the rear of the machine.

Title: Acceptance of City Hall Roof Replacement Project No. C 4019

Recommendation
Adopt a resolution accepting the City Hall Roof Replacement Project No. C 4019 as complete per the contract documents and directing the City Clerk to file a Notice of Completion.

Background
The project was advertised on August 16, 2024, and bids were opened on September 4, 2024.

On September 18, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 136-24 to accept the bid of Enterprise Roofing Services, Inc. as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and authorized the City Manager to execute a contract for an amount not to exceed $634,860, which included a 10% contingency of $57,714.

Discussion
A preconstruction meeting was conducted to review the work outlined in the approved plans and specifications. The meeting covered the project's administrative procedures and identified the main contacts for both the contractor and the City ’s representative. The contractor proposed delaying the start of construction until after the 2024/2025 rainy season to avoid the chances of rain damage if weather conditions changed before the roof could be removed and subsequently replaced. They also offered to patch any le aks during the rainy season at no cost to the city.

Staff agreed with their proposal to delay construction until the following summer.

The project involved removing existing roofing material, repairing isolated areas of the roof deck, installing roof insulation, and then installing a Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) roofing membrane designed for low -slope roofs. Additionally, sheet metal flashing, roof and overflow drains were replaced.

The contractor has submitted a guarant y bond, committing to rectifying any defects in accordance with the specifications for a period of one year. Staff recommend the City Council accept the project, which was completed on November 4, 2025.

Page 2 of 2 ends

Fiscal Impact
The total cost for the roof repairs is $585,115, which is below the authorized budget of 634,860.

There was one change order in the amount of $7,969 to repair a section of failed roof decking.

To: Mayor and City Council
From: Michael Chandler, City Manager
Prepared By: Lauren Sugayan, Assistant City Manager
Deborah Hernandez, Recreation Manager
Title: 2026 Martinez Community Swim Team, Rankin Aquatic Center Use Agreement

Recommendation
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign an agreement with the Martinez Community Swim Team (MCST) for use of the Rankin Aquatic Center for the 2026 season.

Background
The Martinez Community Swim Team (MCST) is a long ‑ standing recreational swim program that has served the Martinez community for more than 37 years. The team regularly utilizes the Rankin Aquatic Center (RAC) for practices and competitiv e meets. In 2025, MCST enrolled approximately 215 swimmers, a slight decrease from the 225 swimmers enrolled in 2024. The team continues to participate in regional swim meets hosted at RAC.

For last year’s agreement , staff and MCST leadership met to evalua te alternatives for staffing practices and meets and mutually agreed that MCST would independently fund and provide lifeguards who meet all City safety standards. This arrangement enabled MCST to maintain its April–September season schedule.

During this same period, the staff office at RAC also became a shared workspace to support City operational needs while still accommodating MCST. In recognition of MCST’s additional financial burden for lifeguard staffing and the shared office arrangement, the City wa ived lifeguard fees and reduced office rental fees by 50 percent. Storage and other rental fees remained unchanged.

Discussion
The proposed 2026 Use Agreement reinstates the terms previously in place under the 202 5 agreement, while continuing to acknowledge the shared office space and the City’s responsibility to provide staffing support for MCST during their use of RAC. Most revisions reflect updated fees associated with increased chemical and utility costs.

City staff met with MCST leadership twice prior to contract negotiations to (1) introduce the City’s new Recreation Coordinator to the new MCST President, and (2) coordinate schedules for the 43 City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 2
2026 swim season. Both meetings were productive, and the parties reached agreement on requested terms and operational needs.

Fiscal Impact
In 2025, revenue generated from MCST totaled $16,082, a decrease of $9,513.50 from the $25,595.50 collected in 2024. This reduction was primarily attributed to the City not providing lifeguard services and the shared office space arrangement.

For 2026, staff anticipate an increase of approximately $10,000 in revenue , for an estimated total of $26,000. This increase reflects the restoration of City‑ provided lifeguarding services as well as modest increases in storage and pool use fees due to rising utility and chemical costs.

The charges paid by MCST continue to be reasonable as a community benefit given MCST’s use of the full facility for multiple months, amid rising utility, chemical, water and insurance costs.

Eve Kearney, Executive Assistant to the City Manager
Title: Acknowledgement of Culturally Significant Dates in City Communications

Recommendation
Adopt a resolution confirming the acknowledgement of culturally significant dates in City communications.

Background
The City currently operates multiple social media channels with a growing following of residents and businesses , used predominately to get news and information out to residents . It has historically taken a conservative approach to acknowledging holidays and cultural observances, limiting post s to only holidays formally recognized by the City and cultural observances recognized through the proclamation process (for example, Black History Month in February and Hispanic Heritage Month in September) . This practice has been guided by two primary considerations: a desire to avoid unintentionally excluding community groups, and caution around unintentionally endorsing a religious or culturally specific viewpoint.

As Martinez continues to grow in diversity and community expectations evolve, an opport unity exists to consider how the City can more thoughtfully and inclusively recognize the full spectrum of cultural, historical, and community -based observances that matter to residents, while still maintaining fairness, neutrality, and respect for all traditions.

Strategic Plan Alignment
This agenda item aligns with the following Strategic Plan goal and strategy:
 Goal D – Community Health, Safety and Well-being
o Strategy 2: Support the launch of the new Diversity and Cultural Commission and engage the Commission in helping the City advance outreach to more diverse populations while continuing to implement the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Roadmap.
56 City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 3

Discussion
At its January 8, 2026 meeting, the Diversity and Cultural Commission reviewed the inclusion of culturally significant dates and discussed appropriate ways for City acknowledgement . After considering multiple perspectives, the Commission voted to recommend a curated list of cultural and religious observances for the City Council’s consideration. The Commission selected these dates based on:
 Local community relevance, including observances celebrated by Martinez residents.  Cultural and religious diversity, ensuring representation across multiple traditions.  Educational value, offering accessible introductions that help residents build understanding and strengthen community connections.

The intent of th ese acknowledgements would be to foster mutual respect, broaden cultural literacy, and reinforce the City’s commitment to celebrating the richness of its community without privileging one tradition over another.

Title: Annual Progress Report of the Status of the General Plan and Housing Element for Calendar Year 2025

Recommendation
Review the Annual Progress Report on the status of the General Plan and Housing Element for calendar year 2025 and direct staff to forward it to the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation and the California Department of Housing and Community Development.

Background
This
Staff Report is organized into the following sections: 1) Background; 2) Status of General Plan Activities; 3) Progress towards meeting the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (“RHNA”); and 4) Status of the 2023-2031 Housing Element’s programs.

Each local government in California is required to adopt a comprehensive, long- term General Plan for the physical development of the jurisdiction. The City Council originally adopted a General Plan in 1973. On November 2, 2022, the City Council adopted General Plan 2035, superseding the 1973 General Plan.

The General Plan 2035 includes the following State-mandated elements , County -mandated elements, and optional elements:

1. Land Use Element (State-mandated)

2. Parks and Open Space Element (State-mandated)

3. Conservation Element (State-mandated)

4. Historic, Cultural, and Arts Element (Optional)

5. Parks and Community Facilities Element (Optional)

6. Circulation Element (State-mandated)

7. Seismic Safety and Safety Element (State-mandated)
61 City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 14

8. Noise Element (State-mandated)

9. Air Quality Element (State-mandated)

10. Environmental Justice Element (Optional)

11. Growth Management Element (County-mandated)
The City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element (State-mandated) was adopted by the City Council on December 20, 2023, with an amended version to reflect the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) comments adopted by the City Council on April 3. 2024, and subsequently approved and certified by HCD on August 25, 2025. A certified Housing Element is one of seven mandatory elements of the General Plan. Housing Element law, enacted in 1969, mandates local governments to update their Housing Element every eight years to demonstrate how they have adequately planned to meet the existing and projected housing needs of all economic segments of the community. The community’s housing needs are determined through the RHNA process.

Local governments are required to provide an Annual Progress Report (“APR”) to their legislative body, the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (“LCI”), formerly known as the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (“OPR”), and the HCD, on the status of the General Plan implementation as well as progress made toward meeting its RHNA (Government Code Section 65400(a)(2)). This Staff Report, including Housing Element APR Tables (Attachment A) and General Plan Progress Report (Attachment B) serves as the City’s APR for calendar year 2025. Please note that the APR provided in Attachment A is a prescribed format dictated by HCD and its conversion to PDF does not make it easily readable. Some tables have also been intentionally left blank, as there are either no updates or they are not applicable.

Discussion
Status of General Plan Activities
The General Plan 2035 puts forth five primary goals for the City:

1. Enhancing the Downtown as the central focus of the community;

2. Protecting residential neighborhoods and environmental resources;

3. Balancing future development with the provision of adequate services, facilities, and infrastructure;

4. Collaborating on regional planning efforts; meetings housing needs; and

5. Providing for economic development to maintain a high level of City services.

On July 30, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No 25-108, approving amendments to the Land Use Element of the General Plan 2035 to amend the land use designation for six parcels to add Mixed-Use Housing (“MUO”) and other minor amendments to the General Plan. 62 City Council Staff Report Page 3 of 14
The most recently adopted version of the General Plan 2035 can be reviewed here. Please see Attachment B for a full digest of General Plan progress updates by element.

Progress Towards Meeting City’s RHNA
The State periodically provides population growth and housing need estimates to each regional Council of Government. The Association of Bay Area Governments (“ABAG”), which is the regional Council of Government in the Bay Area, is then charged with distributing, based on projected local job and household growth, the regional housing need to counties and cities within the ABAG region. Each local jurisdiction’s need is further categorized by income category. The goal of the RHNA process is to ensure that local General Plans can accommodate projected future household growth for all income levels in each jurisdiction. Housing production across all income levels is needed to address the State’s existing challenges regarding housing supply and affordability.

Table 1 identifies the City’s RHNA for various income categories planned for the 2023- 2031 period. The City’s Housing Element is required to demonstrate an ability to accommodate the City’s RHNA at the various income levels through vacant or underutilized land designated to allow residential development and housing production.

For the purposes of the APR and RHNA progress, HCD considers housing production to fall into three categories:
• Entitlement. These are residential units which had to go through a discretionary Planning process and have received approval. While these projects are approved, they still require an applicant to acquire a building permit.
• Building Permit. These are residential units which are either discretionary or ministerial which have applied for and the City has issued a building permit to initiate construction activities.
63 City Council Staff Report Page 4 of 14
• Certificate of Occupancy / Final Inspection. These are residential units which have secured a building permit and have passed inspections from the required departments, divisions, and outside agencies to ensure safety and consistency with approved plans so it can be occupied.

HCD counts units which have received a building permit between January 1st through December 31st each year towards the City’s RHNA progress. Table 2 illustrates building permits issued thus far for new housing during the 2023-2031 RHNA cycle, as of December 31, 2025.

Total Housing Production
Between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025, the City issued Planning entitlements for 66 total units, including four single- family homes, 41 multifamily units from the Wyoming Heights project, and 21 combined accessory dwelling units (“ADUs”) and junior accessory dwelling units (“JADUs”).

During this time, the City also issued building permits for 33 total units and issued 19 certificates of occupancy. Table 3, shown below, provides a breakdown of the types of projects which were either entitled, received a building permit, or received a certificate of occupancy in 2025.

Affordable Housing Production
In 2025, the City issued Planning entitlements for eight low- and two extremely low-income deed- restricted affordable units, not including entitled ADUs and JADUs.

However, in 2024, ABAG released a technical memo titled, “Using ADUs to Satisfy RHNA.” This memo summarizes a study conducted by ABAG that determined that ADUs can meet the criteria for non- deed restricted affordable housing units and satisfy associated RH NA requirements since they are generally affordable by design; whereas previously, all these ADUs were reported in the “Above-Moderate” income category.

For the purposes of RHNA and the APR, ADUs permitted over the course of the calendar year can be distributed evenly between 30 percent very low-, 30 percent low-, 30 percent moderate- , and 10 percent above moderate-income categories. Based on the 21 ADUs permitted in 2025, six can be counted towards each of the very low -, seven towards low-, six towards moderate- income categories, and two towards above moderate-income.

A summary of the City’s progress towards meeting its RHNA affordable housing targets is provided below in Table 4 on the following page.

Note: The “Total Units to Date” column includes 33 units in which the City issued building permits during the RHNA “projection period,” from June 30, 2022 through January 30, 2023 Mid-Cycle ADU Production Review
Housing Element Program 4 requires the City to conduct annual and mid- cycle review no later than January 31, 2026 of ADU assumptions included in the Housing Resources C hapter of the Background Report. The Housing Element plans to add 48 new ADUs by 2031. This includes 16 very low-, 13 low -, 16 moderate- , and three above moderate-income units. Based on the City’s progress so far, the City has already exceeded this goal by issuing Building Permits for 68 ADUs since 2023, or 20 more than planned. The City has issued Building Permits for 19 very 65 City Council Staff Report Page 6 of 14
low- (three more than planned), 21 low- (five more than planned), and 20 moderate-income (four more than planned) non-deed restricted ADUs. Furthermore, the City has issued permits for nine deed-restricted ADUs in the Riverhouse Hotel project for extremely low-income ADUs.

Conformance with Senate Bill (“SB”) 35
In 2017, Governor Brown signed SB 35 into law, which established a streamlined approval process for new housing applications that meet certain criteria. Local jurisdictions are subject to SB 35 when the number of units that have been issued building permits is less than the locality’s share of the regional housing need, by income category, for that RHNA reporting period. Based on housing production during the current RHNA period, HCD has determined the City is subject to SB 35. Developers in Martinez may request a streamlined approval process under SB 35 if, amongst many other requirements, their project has a minimum of 10-percent affordable units.

Conformance with SB 166
The City’s 2023- 2031 Housing Element is required to demonstrate an ability to accommodate the RHNA at various income levels through vacant or underutilized land designated to allow residential development. In 2017, Governor Brown signed SB 166 into law, which requires cities to continually ensure that their Housing Element land inventories can accommodate the unmet housing need. Under SB 166, a city or county must demonstrate there is sufficient land identified to meet the unmet housing need at each income level prior to approving any project with fewer units by income category than identified in the Housing Element land inventory. If there is not sufficient land identified, then a city or county must identify additional sites within 180 days of approving a reduced-density project. Assembly Bill (“ AB”) 879 requires that jurisdictions report any sites that have been rezoned to comply with SB 166 as a component of their APR. Table 5 below outlines the City’s to accommodate the RHNA at various income levels through vacant or underutilized land designated to allow residential development with adjustments for project entitles between 2023 and 2031.

The City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element includes an excess capacity or a buffer of 255 very low- , 238 low-, 43 moderate-, and 54 above moderate-income units to ensure the City has sufficient capacity to accommodate its RHNA. In 2025, the City issued a building permit to the Housing Authority of Contra Costa County to convert an office into two extremely low -income units, increasing the capacity of two very low-income units. In 2025, the City also entitled the Wyoming Heights project which included eight low- and 33 above moderate- income units. The revised excess capacity is 241 very low-, 233 low-, 39 moderate-, and 81 above moderate-income units.

Note, the excess capacity does not include ADUs, JADUs, or above moderate- income single- family residences that are not identified in the 2023-2031 Housing Element.

The City did not identify or rezone any additional land to accommodate unmet housing need in 2025 beyond sites already identified in the 2023-2031 Housing Element.

Progress in Implementing Housing Element Programs
The 2023-2031 Housing Element identifies 31 housing programs. Table D in Attachment A lists in detail the various programs implementing the Housing Element goals and policies with their current statuses from past and current years using the format required by LCI and HCD. A summary of notable accomplishments in 2025 toward implementation of Housing Element programs is provided below (accomplishments from prior years is not discussed below):
• Program 1: Partnerships for Affordable Housing. Offer Financial and Regulatory Incentives: Establish financial and regulatory incentives by July 31, 2024 to provide private and non-profit developers for the development of affordable housing for families, seniors, and other households and housing for special needs populations.

Status: To incentivize the development of units that are affordable by design, on June 4, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1471, establishing Chapter 22.60 (Micro Units). The Micro Unit regulations were promoted in the City’s July 2025 eNewsletter.

Starting on August 13, 2025, the regulations were promoted on the screen in the Permit Center Lobby.
• Program 3A: Public Property Conversion to Affordable Housing. Identify and maintain a list of all surplus City-owned lands and utilize the Surplus Land Act to process to convey these properties to affordable housing developers and non- profits and make this information easily accessible for interested parties. Provid e financial incentives for affordable housing projects proposed on City-owned lands.

Status:
o Notices of Availability Issued: On May 21, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 25- 046 declaring six City -owned properties as surplus land and directed staff to issue Notices of Availabilities (“NOA”) to appropriate entities, consistent with the requirements of the Surplus Land Act. On May 22, 2025, the City issued NOAs for all six Surplus Sites, consistent with the requirements of the 67 City Council Staff Report Page 8 of 14
Surplus Land Act. The 60-day NOA period began on May 22, 2025 and ended on July 21, 2025.
o Publicity: On June 4, 2025, the City held a walking tour of the two downtown sites.

On June 10, 2025, the City held a driving tour of the four single-family zoned sites.

City staff also spoke with multiple affordable housing developers about the sites.

The properties were promoted in the City’s June 2025 eNewsletter and the City developed and maintains a webpage of all available City -owned properties at www.cityofmartinez.org/SLA. In response to the NOAs, the City received several Letters of Interest for all but Site 94.
o Site 94: On September 23, 2025, HCD approved the City’s request to dispose of the 0 Roanoke/Shenandoah APN 164- 400-033-1 site. On October 31, 2025, the City recorded the State- required deed-restriction requiring at least 15 percent of residential units built on the site in the future be affordable to households earning 80 percent or less of the AMI if 10 or more units are developed. The recorded affordability covenant was provided to HCD on November 3, 2025. This property remains listed on the City’s website as an available property. o Negotiations: City is diligently pursuing good faith negotiations for the remaining five sites. Due to the large number of individual sites, each with their own complexities and the need for site due diligence (which may include appraisals or surveys), the negotiations will be scheduled to occur in sequence so that they can be completed in 2026.
• Program 3A: Public Property Conversion to Affordable Housing. Coordinate with Martinez Unified School District for Housing Element Sites 502, 503, and 507 to develop workforce housing.

Status: In 2025, the Planning Manager (now Assistant Community and Economic Development Director) participated with the Martinez Unified School District (“MUSD”) on the California School Board Association’s Education Workforce Housing Program, in partnership with the Chan- Zuckerberg Initiative, University of California: Berkeley, and University of California: Los Angeles. Meetings were held on January 15, 2025; February 11, 2025; April 23, 2025; and May 7, 2025. The cohort visited four education workforce housing projects, including: Eastmore Heights by Jefferson Elementary School District, 705 Serramonte Blvd. by Jefferson Union High School District, Shirley Chrisholm Village by San Francisco Unified School District, and Selma Community Housing by Los Angeles Unified School District. The cohort also collaborated with architectural firm, Iwamoto Scott, to develop conceptual plans including four site plans, floor plans, preliminary landscape plans, elevations, and renderings. The cohort also received presentations from Abode Communities and MidPen Housing. On June 23, 2025, the Superintendent, and Planning Manager presented the California School Board Association’s Education Workforce Housing Program efforts to the MUSD Board. Documents prepared as part of 68 City Council Staff Report Page 9 of 14
this program are being kept confidential by the MUSD to not impact future negotiations with workforce housing developers.
• Program 4: Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units.

Martinez will continue to update Municipal Code regulations that allow ADUs and JADUs by right on properties with existing or planned single- family and multifamily uses and support the development of ADUs through fee reductions and waivers above and beyond those required by State law. The City will develop and implement an Amnesty Program, which offers a risk -free opportunity for owners of existing, unpermitted ADUs to bring those units into compliance with health and safety standards without risk of code enforcement, demolition of units, and displacement of occupants. The City will provide, free of charge, sample ADU floor plans, elevations, electrical and plumbing plans, structural calculations, and preliminary energy calculations that have been reviewed f or compliance with all required building codes to property owners that are interested in building an ADU.

Status:
o ADU Amnesty Program: On April 2, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No.1469, developing an Amnesty Program for unpermitted dwelling units, including ADUs, and submittal checklist. The City submitted Ordinance No. 1469 to HCD on April 4, 2025. The Amnesty Program for Unpermitted Dwelling Units webpage was launched on April 25, 2025. Additionally, this program is referenced on the City’s ADU webpage. The Amnesty Program for Unpermitted Dwelling Units was promoted in the City’s May 2025 eNewsletter. On O ctober 9, 2025, the Planning Division created a Tenant Habitability and Relocation Form for the Amnesty Program for Unpermitted Dwelling Units, to be used if a unit is required to undergo repairs as identified during a Building Inspection and repairs, and such repairs will make the unit temporarily uninhabitable.
o Pre-Approved ADU Plans: The Pre-Approved ADU Plans were added to the City website on April 11, 2025. The City notified interested parties via email on April 11, 2025 and Martinez News and Views on April 14, 2025. Staff presented the Pre- Approved Plans Program to the Planning Commission on April 22, 2025 and to the City Council on May 21, 2025. The Pre-Approved Plans were promoted on social media on April 29, 2025 and in the City’s May 2025 eNewsletter. On January 5, 2026, the City entered into an agreement with William Wood Architects to update the pre-approved plans to comply with the 2025 Uniform Building Code. On March 4, 2026, the updated pre -approved plans were uploaded to the City’s website for public use.

• Program 10: Monitor Changes in Federal and State Housing, Planning, and Zoning Laws. Monitor federal and state legislation as well as City development processes and zoning regulations to identify, address, and remove constraints to housing.

Status:
o Small Lot Subdivisions: To reflect changes made by SB 1123 pertaining to small lot subdivisions, the City adopted Ordinance No. 1468 on January 15, 2025. On July 16, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1474, updating the definition of “major transit stop” in accordance with AB 2553, which eliminates minimum parking requirements for new developments located within half a mile of a major transit stop. The law also reduces vehicular traffic impact fees for housing developments built in these areas. On April 2, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1469, reflecting SB 1211 which increases flexibility for ADUs on multifamily properties.
o SB 272 and SB 1: The City is in the process of implementing the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan, per the requirements of SB 272 and SB 1. On March 5, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 25- 017 authorizing the City Manager to sign a MOU with the County to participate as a sub -grantee in the development of a Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan. The MOU is effective as of June 16, 2025. Participating agencies include Contra Costa County and the Cities of Antioch, Hercules, Martinez, Oakley, P inole, Pittsburg, and San Pablo.

Effective December 2025, the County signed contracts with community engagement and technical subconsultants, The Watershed Project and ESA. The County is expected to coordinate a kickoff meeting with partners in late Januar y 2026 to provide a detailed overview of the project and how the cities and county will work together in development of the Plan.
o Fee Deferral Program: On April 16, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 25-033, updating the fee deferral program in response to SB 937. On July 16, 2025, the City adopted Ordinance No. 1474, reflecting AB 2011 (Affordable Housing and High Roads Jobs Act), which creates a CEQA -exempt, ministerial approval process for multifamily housing development projects on sites within a zoning district where office, retail, or parking are the principally permitted uses. • Program 11: Zoning Ordinance Amendments. Address various recent changes to State Law and create consistency with the Housing Element, including low barrier navigation centers, transitional and supportive housing, residential care facilities, streamlined and ministerial review for eligible affordable housing projects, employee housing, single-room occupancy, emergency shelters, design standards, affordability in perpetuity, manufactured housing, inclusionary housing, shared housing, group homes, land use zoning amendments, farm worker and employee housing, multifamily parking 70 City Council Staff Report Page 11 of 14
requirements Alhambra Avenue corridor, landscaping, minimum densities, short -term rentals, and building height.

Status:
o Residential Care Facilities and Transitional and Supportive Housing. On February 4, 2026, the City Council provided direction to staff to establish and revise regulations for Group Homes and Residential Care Facilities to comply with state law and HCD’s guiding document. The City anticipates these regulations being adopted in 2026.
o Streamlined and Ministerial Review for Eligible Affordable Housing Projects. On June 4, 2025, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 1472 approving a Zoning Text and Zoning Map Amendment Zoning Text and Map Amendment to amend Chapter 22.17 (Affordable Housing Overlay District), Chapter 22.30 (Alhambra Avenue Overlay District), Chapter 22.31 (Community Services Overlay District); and add Chapter 22.11 (Mixed- Use/Housing Overlay District) and Chapter 22.61 (Downtown Transition District) to allow strea mlined and ministerial review for eligible affordable housing projects. o Multifamily and Mixed -use Objective Design and Development Standards.

On June 25, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1473, approving the multifamily and mixed-use objective design and development standards. o Inclusionary Housing. On December 10, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1480, to establish an inclusionary housing program requiring a certain percentage of units development where projects are proposing 11 or more units to provide deed-restricted affordable housing or other approved alternative means of compliance.
o Shared Housing. On December 5, 2025, the Planning Division met with Logan Robertson and Luke Barnesmoore with Front Porch to discuss the “Home Match” Program and existing efforts to promote the Program in Contra Costa County and Martinez. On January 7, 2026, the City launched a new webpage for the Program.

The Program was promoted in the City’s February 2026 eNewsletter. Brochures were shared at the Permit Center Lobby and at the Senior Community Center starting on January 27, 2026.
o Multifamily Parking Requirements. On July 16, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1474, which amended Chapter 22.36 (Off Street Parking and Loading Facilities) including:
 Reducing parking minimum parking requirements shall be one space per unit for the first bedroom and one- half space for each additional bedroom.
71 City Council Staff Report Page 12 of 14
 Eliminating guest parking requirements for housing development projects that set aside at least 15 percent of their units as housing for extremely low-, very low-, low-, or moderate-income households.  Allowing either covered or uncovered spaces shall be allowed to fulfill the parking requirement for any multifamily housing development project.
 Modifying design standards for driveways, garages, and parking layouts used for required parking by establishing objective design and development standards for vehicle site access, allowing curbs or wheel stops, and allowing mechanical parking lifts.
 Requiring one secure bicycle parking space per new residential unit.  Establishing a maximum parking requirement of 1.5 parking spaces per residential unit and four spaces per 1,000- square feet of new commercial development, within half mile of the Amtrak station.

On December 10, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1480, approving amendments to automobile and bicycle parking ratios for residential and commercial projects and permit unbundled parking.
o Mixed-Use/Housing Overlay District. On June 4, 2025, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 1472, which established the Mixed- Use/Housing Overlay District to encourage multifamily residential in addition to the uses allowed in the underlying zoning district(s), particularly affordable housing, on certain vacant and underdeveloped sites. The MUO encourages residential development by allowing increased residential densities and by right development processing in exchange for the provision of at least 20 percent very low- and low-income or 30 percent moderate-income housing units. o Landscaping. On June 25, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1473, approving the multifamily and mixed- use objective design and development standards. MMC Sections 22.51B.040.G and 22.51C.040.G require at least 75 percent of yard areas to be landscaped with minimum sized landscaping, excluding areas occupied by buildings, parking, vehicular and pedestrian access, and usable outdoor space. The subjective requirement was replaced with an objective standard.
o Minimum Densities. On June 4, 2025, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 1472 which increased the permitted density for the Downtown Shoreline (“DS”) zoning district from 17 dwelling units per acre to a minimum density of 20 dwelling units per acre. The Urgency Ordinance also approved a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone seven parcels and required the minimum 72 City Council Staff Report Page 13 of 14
density of the underlying base zoning for Housing Element sites to be consistent with the minimum density of the overlay zones. o Short-Term Rentals. On October 22, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1478, establishing non-permitted short-term rentals as a public nuisance to address their impact on housing stock until a formal permit process is established.
o Building Height. On June 4, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1473, amending the building height development standards to allow building height of 36 feet (three stories) for projects on sites that permit 25 to 35 du/ac, allow a building height of 48 feet (four stories) for projects on sites that permit 40 to 43 du/ac.
o Land Use Controls. The City held a Joint Meeting with the City Council and Planning Commission on March 25, 2025 to consider proposed Land Use Control Zoning Ordinance amendments. On June 25, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1473 approving the multifamily and mi xed-use objective design and development standards. The City Council staff report, dated June 4, 2025, provides a summary of the amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to ensure regulations do not prohibit achieving maximum permitted density. Amendments included reducing the minimum dimensions and minimum area of usable outdoor space, quantifying the maximum number of dwelling units per building in the R -1.5 zoning district, reducing the minimum site area in the R-1.5 and PA zoning.

Compliance with Four-Year Strategic Plan
This item is consistent with the following goals and strategies in the City’s Four -Year Strategic Plan:
• Goal C: Economic Development and Housing
• Strategy 1: Achieve Housing Element certification and collaborate with the City Council on its implementation.

Environmental Review
Preparation and submittal of the General Plan and Housing Element Annual Progress Report is an administrative reporting requirement required by State law. These reports summarizes the City’s progress in implementing the General Plan and Housing Element but does not approve development or authorize any action that could result in a physical change to the environment.

Accordingly, the activity is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 and is also exempt under the general rule in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility of a significant effect on the environment.
73 City Council Staff Report Page 14 of 14
Fiscal Impact
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with acceptance and submittal of the General Plan and Housing Element Annual Progress Reports required by State law. Preparation of the reports is completed by existing staff as part of regular administrative duties.

6th Cycle Completed On January 17, 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1451 establishing a Community Services Overlay District streamlining affordable housing on lands owned by faith-based organizations and non-profit institutions of higher education. Additionally, on January 17, 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1452, establishing the Alhambra Avenue Corridor Overlay District, which allows multifamily residential and mixed-use development with residential units by right and at a greater density than what would normally be allowed through the underlying zoning. Both overlay districts include numerous properties, not just Housing Element sites. On June 4, 2025, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 1472 approving a Zoning Text and Zoning Map Amendment Zoning Text and Map Amendment to amend Chapter 22.30 (Alhambra Avenue Overlay District) and Chapter 22.31 (Community Services Overlay District).

On October 23, 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1463, which established a Development Incentive and Community Benefits Program, allowing developers reduced development standards in exchange for on-site or off-site improvements, financial contributions to City-funded programs, through the provision of deed-restricted affordable housing, or other community benefits. Two applicants have submitted applications using these provisions, which were both approved by the Planning Commission.

On June 26
, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 104-24, approving a fee deferral program which would allow property owners to defer the payment of fees until final inspection, certification of occupancy, or other specified time from the date of building permit issuance, whichever comes first, provided a fee deferral agreement has been executed by the Community and Economic Development Director, Planning Manager, or designee. On April 16, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 25-033, updating the Fee Deferral Program, modifying eligibility criteria to include all residential projects, add the Public Works Director as an additional authority to accept a Fee Deferral Agreement, specify that fees may be collected on a pro-rate basis for each dwelling unit or phase of the project, and add a requirement that the City may require a Property Owner to guarantee payment of certain fees or charges by posting a performance bond or a letter of credit from a federally insured, recognized depository institution.

In 2024, City s
taff comprehensively reviewed the City’s Zoning Code, conducted research, and complied examples of various development regulations for units that are affordable by design from other jurisdictions throughout California. On November 20, 2024, the City Council held a study session on incentivizing units that are affordable by design. The City Council directed staff to develop regulations for micro units. On April 22, 2025, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 25-01, forwarding a recommendation to the City Council to adopt an Ordinance establishing Micro Unit regulations. On June 4, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1471, establishing Chapter 22.60 (Micro Units). The Micro Unit regulations were promoted in the July 2025 e-newsletter. Starting on August 13, 2025, the regulations were promoted on the screen in the Permit Center Lobby.

One qu
antifiable example of the City’s commitment to streamlining residential applications is a triplex with an ADU, located at 644 Green Street, where the City processed a Design Review application in 45 days, including conducting two completeness reviews, issuing public notices, and holding a public hearing.

6th Cycle In Progress On May 21, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 25-046 declaring six City-owned properties as surplus land and directed staff to issue NOAs to appropriate entities, consistent with the requirements of the Surplus Land Act. The 60-day NOA period began on May 22, 2025 and ended on July 21, 2025. The properties were promoted in the City’s June 2025 e-newsletter.

On June 4, 2025, the City held a walking tour of the two downtown sites. On June 10, 2025, the City held a driving tour of the four single-family zoned sites. City staff also spoke with multiple affordable housing developers about the sites.

In response to the NOAs, the City received several Letters of Interest for all but Site 94, and the City is currently in the process of evaluating the proposals and entering good-faith negotiations with interested parties.

Site 94: On September 23, 2025, HCD approved the City’s request to dispose of the 0 Roanoke/Shenandoah APN 164-400-033-1 site. On October 31, 2025, the City recorded the State-required deed-restriction requiring at least 15 percent of residential units built on the site in the future be affordable to households earning 80 percent or less of the AMI if 10 or more units are developed. The recorded affordability covenant was provided to HCD on November 3, 2025. This property remains listed on the City’s website as an available property.

The City is diligently pursuing good faith negotiations for the remaining five sites. Due to the large number of individual sites, each with their own complexities and the need for site due diligence (which may include appraisals or surveys), the negotiations will be scheduled to occur in sequence so that they can be completed between late 2025 and early 2026.

6th Cycle Continuous The City continues to investigate complaints and track code enforcement activities on an ongoing basis. The Building Code and other regulations will continue to be used to maintain the quality of the housing stock. In 2023, the City opened 155 code enforcement cases, three of which were related to dilapidated structures/unsafe conditions. In 2024, the City opened 257 code enforcement cases, 57 of which were related to housing in need of repair. The City will continue to pursue available rehabilitation programs for both owner occupied and rental housing and funding for the conservation, retrofitting, and rehabilitation of viable older housing for preservation. When possible, City staff work with property owners to identify potential resources that may be available to assist them with repairs and maintenance. The City has historically been supportive of rehabilitation efforts when needed, including renovation of older structures through reinforced masonry programs.

In 2024, the City conducted a city-wide windshield survey to determine rehabilitation needs for residential properties and identified concentrated areas requiring the most assistance. The City has reached out to local programs and organizations such as the Bay Area Regional Energy Network, Contra Costa County, Rebuild Together, Self Help Enterprises, Kars4Kids, and Cash4cars to help fund repairs and provide assistance for housing rehabilitation. In December 2024, the City sent property owners a letter outlining resources for housing rehabilitation and improvement programs. Staff will continue to provide property owners, residents, and Homeowners’ Associations with referral information to applicable housing rehabilitation and improvement programs. Results of these efforts were presented to the City Council on December 18, 2024.

Further, in 2024, the City transitioned the tracking of code enforcement cases to Accela, which is the online program currently used by the Planning and Building Divisions, to ensure improved coordination amongst the different divisions. The Code Enforcement Division added tracking for fair housing-related cases in Accela.

In 2025, the City opened 315 code enforcement cases, 23 of which were related to tenant habitability, such as vermin, weatherization, and heating.

housing units and consider
additional incentives brought
forth by developers. As
developers/owners approach the
City with interest in lot
consolidation or phased
development on larger sites for
the development of affordable
housing, the City could defer
certain fees, allow more height or
additional stories, waive lot

Ongoing 6th Cycle Continuous The City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element is required to demonstrate an ability to accommodate the RHNA at various income levels through vacant or underutilized land designated to allow residential development. In 2017, Governor Brown signed SB 166 into law, which requires cities to continually ensure that their Housing Element land inventories can accommodate the unmet housing need. Under SB 166, a city or county must demonstrate there is sufficient land identified to meet the unmet housing need at each income level prior to approving any project with fewer units by income category than identified in the Housing Element land inventory. If there is not sufficient land identified, then a city or county must identify additional sites within 180 days of approving a reduced-density project. Assembly Bill (“AB”) 879 requires that jurisdictions report any sites that have been rezoned to comply with SB 166 as a component of their APR. Table 5 below outlines the City’s to accommodate the RHNA at various income levels through vacant or underutilized land designated to allow residential development with adjustments for project entitles between 2023 and 2031.

The City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element includes an excess capacity or a buffer of 255 very low-, 238 low-, 43 moderate-, and 54 above moderate-income units to ensure the City has sufficient capacity to accommodate its RHNA. In 2025, the City issued a building permit to the Housing Authority of Contra Costa County to convert an office into two extremely low-income units, increasing the capacity of two very low-income units. In 2025, the City also entitled the Wyoming Heights project which included eight low- and 33 above moderate-income units. The revised excess capacity is 241 very low-, 233 low-, 39 moderate-, and 81 above moderate- income units. Note, the excess capacity does not include ADUs, JADUs, or above moderate- income single-family residences that are not identified in the 2023-2031 Housing Element.

The City did not identify or rezone any additional land to accommodate unmet housing need in 2025 beyond sites already identified in the 2023-2031 Housing Element.

a variety of housing types.
6th Cycle Completed On June 26, 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1459, establishing new and amending existing regulations for California State Density Bonus Law and establishing definitions for “concessions” and “waivers”. The updated Zoning Ordinance reflects State law and allows up to one additional incentive for special needs housing that is affordable to very low-, low-, and/or moderate- income households in perpetuity.

On October 23, 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1463 to add a development incentive and community benefits program, allowing developers to deviate from development standards in exchange for on-site or off-site improvements or contribution towards the City’s Affordable Housing Fund. In addition, the Ordinance amended residential height standards to increase overall permitted heights and to be based on a project’s density, rather than zoning.

This Ordinance also removed FAR standards from the General Plan and added them into the Zoning Ordinance. FAR requirements were also generally increased for residential land uses to ensure densities provided by the Housing Element could be met.

On June 26, 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1459, establishing new and amending existing regulations for California State Density Bonus Law and establishing definitions for “concessions” and “waivers”. The updated Zoning Ordinance reflects State law and allows up to one additional incentive for special needs housing that is affordable to very low-, low-, and/or moderate- income households in perpetuity.

On October 11, 2022, the Planning Commission certified the Final Environmental Impact Report, adopted the Statement of Overriding Considerations, approved the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program ("MMRP"), and approved the Design Review and Density Bonus applications for a 183-unit multifamily Amare Apartment Homes project, located on vacant parcels on Arnold Drive, subject to conditions of approval. On April 24, 2024, the Planning Manager approved a modification to the project to add an approximately 5,330 square foot wetland feature on site to satisfy the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements, requiring the loss of approximately 28 surface parking spaces.

This reduction from the approved 275 parking spaces to approximately 247 parking spaces would result in the project being inconsistent with the City’s standard parking requirements; however, the project utilizes the State Density Bonus Law (“SDBL”) and is therefore subject to alternative parking requirements provided in SDBL. The revised project will still exceed the required parking pursuant to SDBL by approximately 24 parking spaces.

On July 8, 2025, the City approved the Wyoming Heights residential project, which proposes 41 units, including eight low-income units. The approved project included concessions for maximum height and minimum usable outdoor space, as well as waivers for distance between structures, dwelling units per site, minimum side yards, minimum side yards (second story), minimum rear yards, loading facilities, retaining wall and fence height, parking design criteria, regulation of driveways, and slope of driveways pursuant to State Density Bonus Law.

Continuum of Care

1. Address homelessness at the
regional level, through ensuring
adequate shelter space is
available to accommodate the
unmet need in the County and to
make certain services are
coordinated to provide unhoused
persons with social, health,
financial, and other supportive
services necessary for persons to
become and remain housed and
live in a safe, dignified manner.

Ongoing 6th Cycle Continuous The Council on Homelessness (“COH”) is a local planning body that provides leadership and coordination on the issues of homelessness and poverty in Contra Costa County. The mission of COH is to provide leadership on homelessness and poverty in Contra Costa County with a vision to create and sustain a comprehensive, coordinated, and balanced array of human services for homeless and low-income individuals and families within Contra Costa County.

As the primary coordinating body for homeless issues and assistance for a geographic area encompassing the entire county, the COH accomplishes a host of activities and programs vital to the community, including an annual point-in-time “snapshot” survey to identify and assess the needs of both the sheltered and unsheltered homeless, tracking homeless demographics using local service providers throughout the calendar year, and an annual action plan that helps Other 5 Note: Where housing shelters are located
103
direct community resources and actions in the form of comprehensive programs and activities.

Emergency Shelters: In 2023, thirteen emergency shelters are available to provide services in the COH region. According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) 2021 Continuum of Care Housing Inventory County Report for Contra Costa County CoC, a total of 744 year-round beds are available; thus, emergency shelters comprise 30.7 percent of the total year-round beds in the County. Of the 201 year-round emergency shelter beds available in Contra Costa County, no shelter beds are in Martinez.

Transitional Housing: In 2023, six transitional housing providers were available to provide services in the COH area, providing a total of 181 beds. Of the 181 transitional housing beds available in Contra Costa County, 12 beds are in Martinez.

The City participates in the Contra Costa County Urban County (CDBG and HOME funding) and the Contra Costa County Continuum of Care (services for homeless and at-risk populations) programs, and is served by the Housing Authority of Contra Costa County, which provides wide- ranging programs related to affordable housing and community and economic development.

2. Fund operations of permanent
homeless shelters in central
Contra Costa County using funds
targeted to serve lower-income
households.

Ongoing 6th Cycle Continuous The primary purpose of the Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”) program is the development of viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment and expanded economic opportunities, principally for persons of very low- and low-income. The solicitation of CDBG applications is to assist the County in carrying out eligible activities that meet the needs of very low- and low-income persons in the Urban County.

The CDBG program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) is a primary source of funds for the County's community development and housing programs. As an eligible Urban County, as defined by HUD, Contra Costa County receives funds annually to carry out CDBG eligible activities. The County directs these funds to housing, economic development, infrastructure improvements, public facilities, and public service projects designed to meet the needs of very low- and low-income persons. The Fiscal Year 2026-27 Notice of Funding Availability began in October 2025 with consideration of proposals to be considered by the County Board of Supervisors in June 2026. See Program 25.4 below which describes past granted funding.

The County funded a number of programs and services for the unhoused community using CDBG funding, including Community Violence Solutions, Loaves and Fishes of Contra Costa, and the Riverhouse Hotel affordable housing project.

Interagency Council on
Homelessness.

Ongoing 6th Cycle Continuous On February 16, 2024, the City coordinated with the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa to provide feedback and direction on the conversion of two extremely low-income affordable housing units along Terrace Avenue.

The Contra Costa County Probation Department presented to the City Council on February 7, 2024 about the proposed Morrow House Project on 1236 Escobar Street. The Morrow House would serve Contra Costa County as a less restrictive placement option, per Senate Bill 92, providing short-term housing, and life skills programming to transition-aged male youth exiting the Briones Youth Academy, Secure Youth Treatment Facility.

4. Continue the partnership with
the Contra Costa County
Department of Health, Housing,
and Homeless Services and
actively participate in the
Continuum of Care, which
administers the funding and
planning for regional homeless
services and shelter serving the
County, including Martinez.

Ongoing 6th Cycle Continuous In 2023, 2024, and 2025, the Planning Manager participated in the Homeless Count, also known as the Point-in-Time (“PIT”) Count, which is a survey of individuals and families identified as experiencing sheltered or unsheltered homelessness within the boundaries of Contra Costa County on a single night, let by the Contra Costa County Department of Health, Housing, and Homeless Services. The PIT Count included 140 unhoused persons in 2023, 158 unhoused persons in 2024, and 63 unhoused persons in 2025.

Contra Costa County maintains an action plan updated every fiscal year with programs and funding allocations for a variety of housing projects and services, many of which are located in Martinez. The County funds these housing and non-housing projects with CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds. Since 2023, the County has allocated over $127,000 of CDBG funding to Loaves and Fishes, a food bank located in Martinez, and to educational programs offered by Loaves and Fishes. In Fiscal Year 2023-24 and 2025-26, the County provided over five million dollars of funding for the Riverhouse Hotel, which provides extremely low-income housing to the community. The County funded numerous other programs which may not be exclusively located in the City but provide services for the unhoused community and low-income families in the City, including ECHO Housing, Contra Costa County Health Services, Community Violence Solutions, the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano, among many other programs targeted at providing resources to unhoused individuals and families residing in Martinez.

the homeless community.

Ongoing 6th Cycle Continuous The City has partnered with the Coordinated Outreach Referral, Engagement ("CORE") program, which services as an entry point into Contra Costa County's coordinated entry system for unsheltered persons. The CORE program was the City's primary contact for issues related to unhoused individuals in Fiscal Years 2023-24 and 2024-25. The CORE Team provided quarterly updates (and subsequently semi-annual updates) at City Council meetings to inform the City Council and general public about the results of their work and answer questions. The City also held quarterly stakeholder meetings to address issues and needs related to the unhoused community within the downtown area. Notable outcomes from the stakeholder meetings included improved jail release coordination with transportation services, the placement of a dedicated CORE team inside the jail, and support for our weekly shower program.

6. Support a “Housing First”
policy that promotes long-term
housing solutions for homeless
individuals and families in Contra
Costa County. Housing First is an
approach to serving people
experiencing homelessness that
recognizes a homeless person
must first be able to access a
decent, safe place to live, that
does not limit length of stay
(permanent housing), before
stabilizing, improving health,
reducing harmful behaviors, or
increasing income.

Ongoing 6th Cycle Continuous To support a “Housing First” policy, the City routinely advocated for the Riverhouse Hotel project. The City issued multiple letters of support for Eden Housing, Inc.’s requests for funding for the project. On December 15, 2023, the Community and Economic Development Director issued a letter of support for the Measure X grant proposal. On August 9, 2024, the City Manager issued a letter of support for the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (“CDLAC”) tax- exempt bond financing proposal. On January 22, 2025, the City Manager issued a letter of support for the CDLAC tax-exempt bond financing proposal. On March 4, 2025, the City Manager issued a letter of support for the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (“CTCAC”) tax-exempt bond financing proposal. These efforts successfully resulted in Eden Housing obtaining a building permit for nine extremely low-income units on November 20, 2025, as well as significant improvements for the existing 75-unit building.

27. Place-Based
Strategies for
Community
Revitalization

1. Develop a policy for the use of
City funding that addresses the
infrastructure needs of the entire
community.

Ongoing 6th Cycle In Progress Planning Division and Engineering Division staff are working on developing a formal policy to address the use of City funding for the infrastructure needs of low-resource and low-income communities. In the interim, Staff has prioritized infrastructure investments as outlined in Programs 27.3 and 27.4 below.

Other 1 N/A

2. Identify neighborhoods and
streets in need of upgrading, with
a focus on areas identified as
being R/ECAPS, lower resource
and lower income areas, to
inform the City’s five-year Capital
Improvement Program.

Ongoing 6th Cycle In Progress There are two low-resource and lower-income areas in the City including Census Tract 3160, which is largely industrial and commercial, and the adjacent Census Tract 3200.01, which comprises Downtown Martinez and a variety of residential and commercial land uses. The City does not have any neighborhoods that meet the definition of Racially or Ethically Concentrated Areas of Poverty (“R/ECAPS”) as defined by the California Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The City hired a consultant to conduct an Access Gap Analysis for the Martinez Capitol Corridor, which is located in Census Tract 3200.01. The Access Gap Analysis evaluates multimodal transportation access within a one-half mile radius of the Martinez Capitol Corridor and identifies existing transportation infrastructure conditions, assesses access gaps, and recommends targeted improvements that support safe, equitable, and efficient access to regional rail services.

3. Improve streetscaping,
landscaping, tree cover, and
open space; reduce pollutants;
and create more walkability and
pedestrian safety.

Ongoing 6th Cycle Continuous The City completed the following projects as they relate to improving streetscaping, landscaping, tree cover, and open space in the low-resource neighborhoods identified as Census Tracts 3200.01 and 3160:

The Implementation of Assembly Bill 413, known as the "Daylighting Law," a California statute aimed at enhancing pedestrian safety by improving visibility at intersections by painting curbs red within 20 feet of the approaching side of any marked or unmarked crosswalk throughout downtown. Project completed August 30, 2025.

In early 2025, the City installed banners in Downtown Martinez to enhance Martinez’s community marketing efforts, highlight community assets, and create design concepts that are both timeless and reflective of the unique character of the Martinez community.

On October 22, 2025, the City adopted revised Code Enforcement regulations (Ordinance No. 1478), including the City’s “Vacant to Vibrant” program to revise regulations on vacant commercial structures. The Vacant to Vibrant Program establishes standards for property maintenance by defining conditions that constitute a “nuisance”. The program requires property owners of vacant commercial structures to register the building with Code Enforcement and register the vacant building with the City, comply with standards of maintenance, maintain liability insurance and install security measures, and be subject to inspection by the City. This will ensure private reinvestment in our commercial areas and a reduction of vacant tenant spaces, as well as reducing blight and vandalism.

The City implemented the Downtown Street Tree Planting Project. The City consulted certified arborists during the planning phase of the project. Several inspections were conducted with staff and tree locations were documented. The arborist developed an initial list of 11 tree species recommended for the Downtown. The proposed tree planting plan that was developed focusing on two blocks of Main Street which had the most trees removed in recent years. The City removed and replaced 10 existing trees in the downtown area in January 2026.

The City completed maintenance of all downtown fire hydrants on November 30, 2025.

On April 16, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 25-035 approving an appropriation of $137,200 to purchase 35 landfill and 10 recycling upgraded receptacles in the Downtown.

The City purchased the receptacles using funding provided by Republic Services, as included in the franchise agreement, and in October 2025, staff completed the removal of old receptacles and installation of the new receptacles. Work was completed in Fall 2025.

The City completed the Municipal Fishing Pier Renovation Project (C8017) on November 8, 2025, which was funded by a $2.5 million U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) grant. Improvements include underwater structural repairs and enhancements such as installation of new sheet piles, replacement of missing piles, and underwater restoration of damaged supports, as well as new decking and railings, improved lighting, and the addition of benches, picnic tables, and waste receptacles.

On May 12, 2025, the Economic Development Subcommittee of the City Council provided input on the proposed Downtown Wayfinding Signage design. On July 16, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 25-092 accepting the Economic Development Subcommittee’s design.
