AGENDA REPORT
(AR)

Item Title: Authorize the City Manager, or Designee, to Negotiate and Execute Agreements with Life Extension Clinics, Inc. for Annual Physical Exams and Related Services and with Emergency Physicians Associates San Jose PC for Medical Advisor for Emergency Medical Services (Staff Contact: Luz Cofresí-Howe, Finance Director, 408-586-3111; and Jason Schoonover, Fire Chief, 408-586- 2811)
Category: Consent Calendar-Public Safety
Meeting Date: 5/19/2026
Recommendation: Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to negotiate and execute (1) a Professional Services Agreement with Life Extension Clinics, Inc. for annual physical examinations and related services with a maximum compensation of $400,000; and (2) a Professional Services Agreement with Emergency Physicians Associates San José PC for emergency medical advisor services with a maximum compensation of $108,838, both of which are for a five-year term and subject to the appropriation of funds.

BACKGROUND:

The City’s Fire Department utilizes medical services from third-party providers for uniformed Fire Department personnel annual physical examinations and medical advisory services to oversee the City’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) program.

Annual Physical Examinations:

The Fire Department’s uniformed fire personnel provide critical fire, medical, rescue, and life safety services and respond to approximately 6,500 calls for service annually. Fire Department personnel are frequently exposed to high-stress environments and physical exertion. In addition to emergency response, Department personnel ensure community safety by inspecting high-risk facilities and enforcing compliance with the California Fire Code and Hazardous Materials Program.

These duties have a direct impact on staff’s long-term health. The City prioritizes the physical and mental well- being of its uniformed personnel. In accordance with the Wellness-Fitness Initiative established by the International Association of Fire Fighters and the International Association of Fire Chiefs, as well as the National Fire Protection Association 1580 Standard for Emergency Responder Occupational Health and Wellness, the City contracts with a qualified medical provider to conduct standardized annual physical examinations for uniformed Fire personnel. This firefighter occupational exam includes additional testing that would not otherwise be included in a routine annual medical physical that is offered through private insurance carriers and includes conducting a comprehensive assessment designed to ensure a firefighter is fit for the high-intensity, hazardous nature of the job. Additionally, these comprehensive firefighter exams are significantly more rigorous than a routine medical exam and focus on cardiovascular health, respiratory function, and cancer screening, as firefighters face significantly higher risks of cancer than the general public.

These evaluations are voluntary and designed to support physical fitness, early detection, and reduce job- related injuries and fatalities by providing essential wellness metrics while maintaining individual confidentiality.

The City’s current provider for these services is Kaiser Permanente whose agreement expires June 30, 2026.

Medical Advisory Services:

The Fire Department provides emergency services to the community under the auspices of the Emergency Medical Services Agency of the County of Santa Clara (County) by contractual agreement as a local participating agency. The County sets the policies, protocols and plans, and requires the City to designate a

qualified Medical Advisor to provide prescriptive authority and medication control as required by law and assist in clinical assurance and continuous quality management activities of the City’s EMS program.

Prior to 2017, the City had a physician on staff who assumed these responsibilities. After his retirement in 2017, the City contracted with Stanford Healthcare to provide an emergency medical physician for these services. The current agreement for these services expires June 30, 2026.

ANALYSIS:

On November 17, 2025, the City released a Request for Proposal RFP (RFP) 25-1100 for Medical Services for the Fire Department. The RFP comprised two packages, and firms could submit proposals for one or both:

• Package A: Annual Physical Exams and Related Services • Package B: Medical Advisor for Emergency Medical Services

The scope of services for Package A included fire service specific medical assessments, including baseline medical evaluations, consolidated medical assessments, immunizations (as needed), data record-keeping services, and electronic data reporting. In the scope, the City specified that physical examinations be completed onsite at Fire Station 1 from January-March annually, minimizing the need for City personnel to travel offsite.

For Package B, the scope of services required a qualified physician to serve as a Medical Advisor for the City’s EMS program. Responsibilities include providing prescriptive authority and oversight, protocol review and approval, case reviews, quality improvement activities, curriculum development, and training and consultation on staff performance.

The RFP was publicly noticed on the City’s website and OpenGov, the City e-procurement website, in accordance with the City Municipal Code. Upon release, 7,080 firms received notification of the RFP, and 36 firms downloaded the RFP. Five vendors submitted proposal responses for Package A and two vendors submitted proposal responses for Package B by the published RFP closing date of January 14, 2026. One proposer for Package B was subsequently disqualified for being non-responsive to the RFP requirements.

Package A: Annual Physical Exams and Related Services
Proposals for Package A were evaluated and scored in accordance with the evaluation criteria set forth in the RFP. Final proposal scores are as follows:

Based on these results, Life Extension Clinics, Inc. was the best value proposer in accordance with the evaluation criteria set forth in this RFP. Staff conducted customer reference checks with the City of Sacramento, the City of Modesto, and the County of Ventura. All references provided positive feedback. Upon City Council approval, staff will negotiate and execute an agreement with Life Extension Clinics, Inc. for an amount not to exceed $400,000 for the five-year term substantially in accordance with the City’s standard terms and conditions.

Package B: Medical Advisor for Emergency Medical Services Since there was only responsive proposal for this package, the Fire Department’s designated project manager for this RFP reviewed the submission from Emergency Physicians Associates and verified that the proposer

was responsible and able to meet the City’s requirements. Staff also conducted reference checks with Washington Health Hospital and Santa Clara County Medical Services Agency, both of which provided positive feedback. Upon approval by City Council, staff will negotiate and execute an agreement with Emergency Physicians Associates for an amount not to exceed $108,838 for the five-year term substantially in accordance with the City’s standard terms and conditions.

POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):

Alternative 1: Do not negotiate and execute agreements with Life Extension Clinics, Inc. and Emergency Physicians Associates San Jose PC and direct staff to extend the current agreements with Kaiser Permanente and Stanford Healthcare.

Pros: None

Cons: The City’s current agreements with Kaiser Permanente and Stanford Healthcare for these services end June 30, 2026. There is most likely insufficient time to negotiate contract extensions, risking a gap in coverage.

Further, the Kaiser agreement requires uniformed staff to travel to Kaiser’s Fremont facilities for their examinations, whereas Life Extension Clinics, Inc. offers on-site services at Fire Station 1. Most critically, the City is contractually mandated by the County to maintain a designated medical advisor; a lapse in services would jeopardize the City’s Emergency Medical Services operations.

Reason for Not Recommending: Not approving staff’s recommendations would lead to operational disruptions, potential loss of medical oversight, inability to meet contractual obligations to the County, and significantly increase staff time required to renegotiate current agreements and/or conduct a new solicitation.

PROJECT SCHEDULE/KEY MILESTONES
Negotiate and execute agreements with Life Extension Clinics, Inc. and Emergency Physicians Associates San Jose PC substantially in compliance with the City’s standard terms and conditions by June 30, 2026. The executed contracts will have a contract term of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Package A: Annual Physical Exams and Related Services: The maximum compensation for the five-year term of the agreement with Life Extension Clinics, Inc. is $400,000. Funding in Fiscal Year 2026-27 for these services is included in the 2026-2027 Proposed Operating Budget will be brought to City Council for adoption in June 2026. Future funding will be subject to the appropriation of funds.

Package B: Medical Advisor for Emergency Medical Services: The maximum compensation for the five-year term of the agreement with Emergency Physicians Associates San Jose PC is $108,838. Funding in Fiscal Year 2026-27 for these services is included in the 2026-2027 Proposed Operating Budget will be brought to City Council for adoption in June 2026. Future funding will be subject to the appropriation of funds.

AGENDA REPORT
(AR)

Item Title: Conduct a Public Hearing and Consider Adopting an Urgency Ordinance Adding a New Section to Title XIII, Chapter B.20 of the Milpitas Municipal Code to Create a Transit-Oriented Development Overlay Zoning District to Implement Senate Bill 79 Development Standards (Staff Contact: Jay Lee, Planning Director, 408-586-3073)
Category: Public Hearings-Community Development
Meeting Date: 5/19/2026
Recommendation: Conduct a public hearing and determine that the urgency ordinance is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Government Code Section 65912.160(c)(2) and adopt an Urgency Ordinance adding a new section to Title XIII, Chapter B.20 of the Milpitas Municipal Code to create a Transit- Oriented Development Overlay (TOD) zoning district and regulations implementing Senate Bill 79 development standards (P-ZA26-0003) with immediate effect.

BACKGROUND:

Senate Bill 79 (SB 79), the Abundant and Affordable Homes Near Transit Act signed by Governor Newsom on October 10, 2025, establishes new statewide requirements for the approval of transit-oriented housing developments near major transit stops, with the intent to increase housing production and promote sustainable, transit-accessible communities. SB 79 adds Sections 65912.155 et seq. to the California Government Code, setting forth eligibility criteria, development standards, and streamlined approval processes for qualifying projects within designated proximity to transit facilities. The law becomes operative on July 1, 2026, and preempts local zoning and development standards that are inconsistent with its provisions, unless a city adopts local implementing regulations that are consistent with SB 79.

In anticipation of SB 79’s effective date, the City of Milpitas initiated the preparation of an urgency ordinance to establish interim local regulations for qualifying housing projects. The urgency ordinance is intended to ensure the City zoning code remains consistent with state law and that local standards for development, affordability, and tenant protections continue to apply to eligible projects during the period before a permanent implementing ordinance can be adopted through the standard legislative process. The urgency ordinance was developed in coordination with the Planning Department, City Attorney’s Office, and other relevant City departments, following established procedures for zoning code amendments and in compliance with applicable state and local requirements.

The City Council’s consideration of this urgency ordinance is a direct response to the statutory deadlines and requirements imposed by SB 79. The ordinance is structured to take effect immediately upon adoption by a four-fifths vote, as authorized by California Government Code Section 36937(b), and will remain in force only until a permanent ordinance is adopted and becomes effective. This approach is consistent with the City’s prior use of urgency ordinances to address immediate regulatory needs arising from changes in state law affecting land use and housing policy.

ANALYSIS:

The City of Milpitas has demonstrated its long-standing policy for higher density housing development in its areas served by transit. Since 2002, the City has adopted two Specific Plans (Gateway-Main Street, formerly the Midtown Specific Plan, and Milpitas Metro, formerly Transit Area Specific Plan) that have all increased density around the Tier 1 and Tier 2 TOD Zones. The Metro plan already permits densities in line with SB 79.

The area surrounding the Milpitas Transit Center (Tier 1) is zoned MXD3-Metro and allows residential density

up to 250 du/acre and building heights up to 275 feet. Moreover, many of the properties immediately adjacent to the Milpitas Transit Center have already been redeveloped with multi-family residential. The Gateway Plan permits densities ranging from 12 to 65 du/acre in the half-mile area surrounding the Great Mall Light Rail Station (Tier 2). Under SB 79, these parcels could be eligible for additional density. However, many of the properties immediately adjacent to the Great Mall Light Rail Station have also been redeveloped with multi- family residential.

Although many areas eligible for SB 79 have been recently redeveloped due to the City’s Specific Plan efforts, the proposed ordinance amendment would implement the minimum densities and height maximums under SB 79 and establish residential development standards for sites that are not zoned for residential development but subject to SB 79.

Proposed Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance
Based on feedback from the Planning Commission at its April 22, 2026 meeting regarding the permanent SB 79 implementing ordinance and to better align with the State’s goals for transit-oriented development, staff amended the development standards to increase the minimum allowable densities across both Tiers. The applicable development standards have also been changed to better match the densities. The new minimum densities and standards are shown in Table 1.

The proposed ordinance implements SB 79 and includes the following amendments to Title XIII of the Milpitas Municipal Code (MMC):
• Add subsection B.20.040 Transit-Oriented Development Overlay Zone to Chapter B.20 Overlay Zones and Standards to implement California Government Code Sections 65912.155 through 65912.162 (SB 79). Specifically, it establishes the applicability of the TOD overlay under SB 79, incorporates the relevant definitions under the Government Code, and sets forth the minimum residential and height standards for qualifying housing projects.
• Specifically, the following development standards will apply:

Table 1: Transit-Oriented Development (-TOD) Overlay Zone Development Standards

Minimum Density: 50 du/ac
Maximum Density: 80 du/ac
Maximum Residential FAR:

2.5 • Projects will be required to follow all other development standards as specified for in the R4-Metro and R5-Metro zoning districts.
• For parcels zoned R1-6 (single-family residential), a qualifying housing project will be subject to a minimum density of 30 du/acre and must follow all other development standards as specified under the R4 zoning district.

Proposed Amendments to the Zoning Map
The proposed zoning map amendment (Attachment B) will implement the Transit-Oriented Development (-TOD) Overlay on the City’s Zoning Map, enacted by Title XIII, Chapter A, Section 2.060 of the Milpitas

Municipal Code. The TOD Overlay will apply to all parcels within the half-mile areas surrounding the three major transit stops, as defined by Senate Bill 79 – the Milpitas BART Station, Great Mall VTA Light Rail Station and Alder VTA Light Rail Station.

General Plan Conformance
The City’s General Plan is the primary long-range planning document that provides the vision for the future growth and development of Milpitas. The proposed zoning text and map amendments implementing SB 79 conform to the policies and standards in the City’s General Plan, as demonstrated in the following table:

Table 2: General Plan Consistency

Policy / Actions Conformance
Implementation
Policy IM 1-2:

Require the City’s Zoning Ordinance,
planning documents, master plans,
infrastructure projects, and development
projects to be consistent with the General
Plan and State law.

Consistent. This zoning ordinance and map
amendment will implement recent legislation
(SB 79) and bring the Zoning Ordinance into
conformance with state housing law.

Land Use Element
Policy LU 2-3:

Allow densities and intensities which exceed
the generally allowed ranges defined by the
underlying land use for projects utilizing
Density Bonus provisions including bonuses
for senior housing, affordable housing, and
for projects within designated overlay
districts.

Consistent. The intent of SB 79 is to build
more homes near transit to reduce housing
and transportation costs for California families
and promote environmental sustainability,
economic growth, and reduce traffic
congestion. Implementing the TOD Overlay
District will not only bring the Zoning
Ordinance into conformance with state law but
also permit a greater variety of housing types
in densities in areas close to major transit
stops.

Land Use Element
Policy LU 2-2:

Continue to utilize Overlay Zoning Districts
as needed to supplement land use and
zoning standards with additional allowances
and regulations that reflect and use and
policy objectives for a particular area.

Consistent. The intent of SB 79 is to build
more homes near transit to reduce housing
and transportation costs for California families
and promote environmental sustainability,
economic growth, and reduce traffic
congestion. Implementing the TOD Overlay
District will not only bring the Zoning
Ordinance into conformance with state law but
also permit a greater variety of housing types
in densities in areas close to major transit
stops.

Land Use Element
Policy LU 3-2:

Continue to utilize planning tools (including
specific plans and overlay districts) that
promote transit-oriented and mixed-use
development objectives near the Milpitas
Transit Center.

Consistent. The TOD Overlay District will
coincide with regional efforts and conform with
state law to allow higher densities near transit
and specifically continue to promote housing
near the Milpitas Transit Center.

Specific Plan Conformance

The proposed zoning ordinance and map amendments are in both the Milpitas Metro (Metro) Specific Plan and Gateway-Main Street (Gateway) Specific Plan area. These designations provide for high-density and medium- density residential uses. As demonstrated in Table 5, the proposed zoning ordinance and map amendments are consistent with the applicable Metro and Gateway-Main Street Specific Plan land use policies.

Table 3: Metro and Gateway-Main Street Specific Plan Consistency

Policy Conformance
Metro Specific Plan Land Use
Policy LU2:

Capitalize on the transit orientation of the
Plan Area to support transit ridership,
reduce traffic congestion and greenhouse
gas emissions, and support livability.

Consistent. The core of the Metro Plan
Vision is to create a complete and unique
urban neighborhood. The TOD Overlay
District will not only conform with state law to
allow higher densities near transit but also
specifically continue to promote a variety of
housing near the Milpitas Transit Center.

Metro Specific Plan Land Use
Policy LU3:

Provide transit-oriented housing that is
accessible and affordable for a range of
household types and income levels.

Consistent. The TOD Overlay District will not
only conform with state law to allow higher
densities near transit but also specifically
continue to promote a variety of housing near
the Milpitas Transit Center.

Gateway-Main Street Specific Plan
Guiding Principle:

Integrate a mix of housing types, scales, and
affordability, including mixed-use, housing
for families, smaller unit homes, live-work,
senior housing, and affordable housing.

Consistent. While the proposed zoning map
and text amendment would only affect the
southern end (South of O’Toole Elms Park to
Curtis Avenue) of the Main Street District,
South Railyards District, Elmwood District,
and the Curtis neighborhood of the Gateway
Plan, the TOD Overlay District will help
implement the Plan’s vision of Main Street as
a walkable, mixed-use urban village
accessible from the surrounding community.

The TOD Overlay District will allow higher
densities near the Great Mall Light Rail
Station, which will continue to facilitate a
variety of housing types at different
affordability levels near transit.

Findings for Approval
The City Council shall consider the following findings in considering approval of a zoning ordinance amendment:

Zoning Ordinance Text and Map Amendments (Milpitas Municipal Code Section XIII, Chapter D.6.050) a. The proposed Zoning Amendment is consistent with and conforms to the goals and policies of the General Plan.

The proposed text and map amendments are specifically consistent with General Plan Policy IM 1- 2, which states to require the City’s Zoning Ordinance, planning documents, master plans, infrastructure projects, and development projects to be consistent with the General Plan and State law. This zoning ordinance and map amendment will implement recent legislation (SB 79) and bring

the Zoning Ordinance into conformance with state housing law. The proposed text and map amendments are also consistent with General Plan Policy LU2-3, which states to allow densities and intensities which exceed the generally allowed ranges defined by the underlying land use for projects utilizing Density Bonus provisions including bonuses for senior housing, affordable housing, and for projects within designated overlay districts, as well as General Plan Policy LU2-2, which states to continue to utilize Overlay Zoning Districts as needed to supplement land use and zoning standards with additional allowances and regulations that reflect and use and policy objectives for a particular area. The intent of SB 79 is to build more homes near transit to reduce housing and transportation costs for California families and promote environmental sustainability, economic growth, and reduce traffic congestion. Implementing the TOD Overlay District will not only bring the Zoning Ordinance into conformance with state law but also permit a greater variety of housing types in densities in areas close to major transit stops. The proposed text and map amendments are also consistent with General Plan Policy LU3-1, which states to support regional efforts that promote higher densities near major transit and travel facilities, and reduce regional vehicle miles traveled by supporting active modes of transportation including walking, biking, and public transit; support local and regional land use decisions that promote safe access to and the use of alternatives to auto transit, as well as General Plan Policy LU3-2, which states to continue to utilize planning tools (including specific plans and overlay districts) that promote transit-oriented and mixed-use development objectives near the Milpitas Transit Center. The TOD Overlay District will coincide with regional efforts and conform with state law to allow higher densities near transit and specifically continue to promote housing near the Milpitas Transit Center.

b. The proposed Zoning Amendment is consistent with and conforms to the goals and policies of any Specific Plan, if applicable;

The proposed zoning text and map amendments are consistent with and conform to the goals and policies of the Milpitas Metro Specific Plan (Metro). The core of the Metro Plan Vision is to create a complete and unique urban neighborhood. The proposed zoning text and map amendments are specifically consistent with Metro Specific Plan Land Use Policy LU2 (Transit Orientation), which states to capitalize on the transit orientation of the Plan Area to support transit ridership, reduce traffic congestion and greenhouse gas emissions, and support livability, and LU3 (Housing Diversity and Affordability), which states to provide transit-oriented housing that is accessible and affordable for a range of household types and income levels. The TOD Overlay District will not only conform with state law to allow higher densities near transit but also specifically continue to promote a variety of housing near the Milpitas Transit Center. The proposed zoning text and map amendments are also consistent with and conform to the goals and policies of the Gateway-Main Street Specific Plan (Gateway). While the proposed zoning map and text amendment would only affect the southern end (South of O’Toole Elms Park to Curtis Avenue) of the Main Street District, South Railyards District, Elmwood District, and the Curtis neighborhood of the Gateway Plan, the TOD Overlay District will help implement the Plan’s vision of Main Street as a walkable, mixed-use urban village accessible from the surrounding community. One of the guiding principles of the Gateway Plan is to integrate a mix of housing types, scales, and affordability, including mixed-use, housing for families, smaller unit homes, live-work, senior housing, and affordable housing. The TOD Overlay District will allow higher densities near the Great Mall Light Rail Station, which will continue to facilitate a variety of housing types at different affordability levels near transit.

c. The proposed Zoning Amendment will not adversely affect public health, safety and welfare;

The proposed zoning text and map amendments will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, and general welfare, because the action would allow varying residential densities in the TOD Overlay District that are consistent with State law and bring the overall Zoning Ordinance into conformance with State law. They would help facilitate new, higher density and transit-oriented development in appropriate areas, which would serve to advance numerous City goals related to community design, environment, and economic development.

Moreover, the City retains authority through any future discretionary approvals to address project- specific health, safety, and welfare concerns in the TOD Overlay District.

d. The proposed Zoning Amendment is in compliance with the provisions of California Environmental Quality Act;

The proposed zoning text and map amendments are not a project under CEQA pursuant to Government Code Section 65912.160(c)(2). Adoption of the ordinance is a statutory implementation action.

e. When considering a reduction of residential density, ensure compliance with California Government Code Section 65863 by either finding that the remaining sites identified in the Housing Element are adequate to accommodate the City’s share of the regional housing need or by identifying sufficient additional, adequate, and available sites with an equal or greater density so that there is no net loss in residential density; and

This finding is not applicable. The zoning text and map amendments are not reducing residential density.

f. The proposed Zoning Amendment would not result in a net loss of potential housing units.

The proposed Zoning Amendment would not result in a net loss of potential housing, as the Project amends the Zoning Ordinance to allow for qualifying housing projects in transit-oriented development zones pursuant to State law (SB 79).

g. The proposed Zoning Amendment is internally consistent with other applicable provisions of this Title

The proposed Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment is instituting changes to the Zoning Ordinance that reflect and conform with recent State law (SB 79). The purpose of the Zoning Ordinance is to promote public health, safety, comfort, and general welfare, and to enable appropriate and orderly development. More specifically, the Zoning Ordinance was adopted to provide standards for orderly growth and development of the city, and guide and control the use of land to provide a safe, harmonious, attractive, and sustainable community, as well as achieve the arrangement of land uses depicted in the General Plan, consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan. The proposed zoning text amendment will create a Transit-Oriented Development Overlay District that will specifically apply to qualifying housing projects within a half mile of qualifying transit-oriented development stops. The amendments are consistent with the Zoning Ordinance as a whole and do not create any internal inconsistencies.

h. The affected site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, operating characteristics, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle access and public services and utilities, to accommodate the uses and development densities or intensities allowed in the proposed new zone; and

The proposed Zoning Map Amendment is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, operating characteristics, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle access and public services and utilities, to accommodate the uses and development densities or intensities allowed in the proposed zone. The TOD Overlay would simply bring the Zoning Ordinance and Map into conformance with development density ranges into consistency with State law (SB 79). They would help facilitate new, higher density and transit-oriented development in appropriate areas, which would serve to advance numerous City goals related to community design, environment, and economic development. The TOD Overlay would also establish residential development standards for sites that are not zoned for residential development but subject to SB 79. Moreover, the City retains authority through any future discretionary approvals to address project-specific health, safety, and welfare concerns in the TOD Overlay District. If projects are eligible for streamlining under State law, they would still be subject to the City’s Objective Design Standards.

i. If located within or adjacent to residential areas, the requested zone change is compatible with the character of the residential neighborhood.

The proposed zoning map amendment would create a TOD Overlay District in the half mile areas around three transit-oriented development stops within the City. The proposed map amendment is generally compatible with the character of the residential neighborhoods. The TOD Overlay would bring the Zoning Ordinance and Map into conformance with development density ranges into consistency with State law (SB 79). They would help facilitate new, higher density and transit- oriented development in appropriate areas, which would serve to advance numerous City goals related to community design, environment, and economic development. The TOD Overlay would also establish residential development standards for sites that are not zoned for residential development but subject to SB 79. Moreover, the City retains authority through any future discretionary approvals to address project-specific health, safety, and welfare concerns in the TOD Overlay District. If projects are eligible for streamlining under State law, they would still be subject to the City’s Objective Design Standards.

Urgency Ordinance
The urgency ordinance is proposed as a necessary interim measure to ensure the City of Milpitas maintains local regulatory authority over transit-oriented housing development in advance of the July 1, 2026, effective date of Senate Bill 79 (SB 79). SB 79 establishes new statewide requirements for the approval of qualifying housing projects near major transit stops and preempts any local zoning or development standards that are inconsistent with its provisions, unless a city adopts local implementing regulations that are consistent with state law. The urgency ordinance is structured to take effect immediately upon adoption by a four-fifths vote of the City Council, as authorized by California Government Code Section 36937(b), thereby preventing any regulatory gap between the effective date of SB 79 and the adoption of a permanent local ordinance.

The ordinance is designed to align the City’s zoning code with the new state requirements by establishing a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Overlay District and incorporating SB 79’s eligibility criteria, development standards, and streamlined approval processes for qualifying projects. This approach enables the City to continue applying locally tailored standards for development, affordability, and design within the parameters set by state law, while also ensuring consistency with the Milpitas 2040 General Plan, the Milpitas Metro Specific Plan, and the Gateway-Main Street Specific Plan.

Adoption of the urgency ordinance will allow the City to:
• Apply objective local development standards and design guidelines to qualifying transit-oriented housing projects, provided these standards do not conflict with SB 79. • Maintain consistency with adopted specific plans and the General Plan, supporting the City’s long-term vision for higher-density, mixed-use, and transit-accessible neighborhoods. • Ensure that local procedures for zoning amendments, public notice, and hearings are followed to the extent permitted by state law, thereby supporting transparency and public participation in the land use process.
• Provide a clear regulatory framework for applicants and staff during the interim period, reducing uncertainty and the risk of project delays or legal challenges

If the urgency ordinance is not adopted, the City would be required to process qualifying projects solely under the default standards established by SB 79, which may not reflect local planning objectives or community preferences. The urgency ordinance is therefore a critical tool for preserving the City’s ability to implement local standards and to manage the transition to full compliance with SB 79.

POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):

Alternative 1: Do not adopt the Urgency Ordinance.

Pros: None

Cons: If the City does not adopt an urgency ordinance, it would prevent the City from applying any locally tailored development standards, affordability requirements, or tenant protections to eligible projects during the period between the effective date of SB 79 and the adoption of a permanent local ordinance. It would also

increase the likelihood that projects will be approved under state default standards, which may not align with the City’s adopted planning objectives, specific plan policies, or community design preferences.

Reason for Not Recommending: This alternative is not recommended because it would create a temporary gap in the City’s ability to enforce local standards and procedures for qualifying housing development that invoke SB 79. The absence of interim local regulations could undermine established policy goals related to housing quality, affordability, and neighborhood compatibility, and would forfeit the City’s opportunity to maintain consistency with its General Plan and specific plans during the period before a permanent ordinance is adopted

PROJECT SCHEDULE/KEY MILESTONES
The following timeline outlines the key steps for implementation:
• May 19, 2026: City Council consideration and potential adoption of the urgency ordinance. • Immediate: Ordinance becomes effective upon adoption by a four-fifths vote, ensuring no lapse in local regulatory authority.
• May 19, 2026: City Council consideration and potential adoption of the permanent ordinance. • May – June 2026: Publication and posting of the adopted ordinance in accordance with Government Code Section 36933.
• June 2, 2026: City Council consideration and potential second reading of the permanent ordinance. • July 1, 2026: SB 79 becomes operative statewide; City’s urgency ordinance ensures local standards remain in effect.
• July 2, 2026: Potential permanent ordinance goes into effect and the urgency ordinance is automatically repealed.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct fiscal impact associated with adoption of the proposed urgency ordinance. Any administrative costs associated with ordinance adoption and California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) coordination would be absorbed within existing departmental resources.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA):

The proposed urgency ordinance is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Government Code Section 65912.160(c)(2). This is an ordinance implementing Senate Bill 79.

2 Ordinance 38.860
RECITALS AND FINDINGS:

WHEREAS, Senate Bill 79 (“SB 79”) was signed on October 10, 2025, and codified as California Government Code Sections 65912.155 et seq., and states, among other things, that notwithstanding local law to the contrary, and effective July 1, 2026, a housing development project, as defined, within one-half mile of a transit oriented development stop, as defined, is an allowed use as a transit-oriented housing development on any site zoned for residential, mixed, or commercial development, if the development complies with applicable requirements, as specified; and
WHEREAS, SB 79 is anticipated to affect development near three (3) transit-oriented development stops within Milpitas (the Milpitas BART Station, the Great Mall VTA Light Rail Station, and the Alder VTA Light Rail Station); and
WHEREAS, it is estimated that there are about 3,500 parcels within one-half mile of these three (3) transit-oriented developments stops within Milpitas; and WHEREAS, California Government Code Sections 65300 et seq. require each city to prepare and adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan for the physical development of the county or city; and
WHEREAS, on March 9, 2021, the Milpitas City Council adopted the Milpitas 2040 General Plan, updating and revising the land use policies, goals, and objectives contained in the City’s previous General Plan; and
WHEREAS, on September 2, 2025, the Milpitas City Council adopted a comprehensive update to the zoning ordinance, including the addition of a new Title XIII – Zoning to the Milpitas Municipal Code and amendments to various other sections of the Municipal Code for consistency with the updated Zoning Ordinance and amended the Zoning Map of the City of Milpitas to achieve consistency between the updated Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map; and WHEREAS, pursuant to the City’s General Plan and the implementing Zoning Ordinance, the following zoning districts allow residential, mixed, or commercial development:

General Commercial (C2), Metro Business Park Research and Development – Limited Residential (BPRD-R-Metro), Metro Multi-Family High Density Residential (R3-Metro), Metro Multi-Family Very High Density Residential (R4-Metro), Metro Urban Residential (R5-Metro), Metro High Density Mixed Use (MXD2-Metro), Metro Very High Density Mixed Use (MXD3- Metro), Multi-Family (R3), Multi-Family Very High Density (R4), Single-Family (R1), Mixed Use (MXD), and Main Street Mixed-Use (MS-MU); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the City’s General Plan and the implementing Zoning Ordinance, the following zoning districts are not zoned for residential, mixed, or commercial development: Heavy Industrial (M2), Institutional (I), Park and Public Open Space (POS), Business Park Research and Development (BPRD), and Metro Business Park Research and Development (BPRD-Metro). The City Council finds and determines that it is not and was not its intent to zone properties in these districts for residential, mixed, or commercial development and that any residential, mixed, or commercial use allowed in these zones is incidental and neither determinative nor reflective of the purpose for which these properties were zoned; and

3 Ordinance 38.860
WHEREAS, SB79 may allow residential units in areas not already zoned for residential development and fails to explicitly specify a process for applying the various local zoning regulations governing residential development to facilitate its compatibility with neighboring uses and protect the public health, safety and welfare; and WHEREAS, absent local regulation addressing the new circumstances created by SB79, SB79’s absence of a clear process for applying local residential zoning rules outside of residential zones creates a possibility of residential development contrary to existing local regulations necessary to protect health, safety, and welfare; and WHEREAS, while SB 79 does not apply to all parcels and all projects within one-half mile of transit-oriented development stops, in the absence of locally tailored regulations providing an orderly and legally compliant implementation of SB 79, persons and entities seeking to develop in these areas would no longer have clear planning regulations, which will result in unnecessarily delayed and substandard development, including the development of housing and affordable housing projects critical to the shelter of residents during a time in which the State of California has declared the state to be in a housing crisis; and WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 65912.160 provides that a local government may enact an ordinance to make its zoning code consistent with SB 79 and that such an ordinance is not considered a project subject to environmental review pursuant to Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code (the California Environmental Quality Act or “CEQA”); and
WHEREAS, the City has diligently prepared Zoning Amendment No. ZA26-0003 (“Amendment”) to the City’s Municipal Code, adding a new section to Title XIII, Chapter B.20 of the Milpitas Municipal Code to create a Transit-Oriented Development Overlay (-TOD) zoning district and regulations implementing Senate Bill 79 development standards (“Regular Ordinance”); and
WHEREAS, consistent with California Government Code Section 65912.160(d), at least 14 days prior to the adoption of the Regular Ordinance, the City submitted a draft of this ordinance to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) and received no feedback from HCD; and
WHEREAS, consistent with California Government Code Section 65912.160(d), within 60 days of enacting the Regular Ordinance, the City is to submit it to HCD for review, and HCD has up to 120 days to report to the City whether it believes the enacted ordinance is in substantial compliance with SB 79; and
WHEREAS, the extended time periods for HCD review and consequently limited time to implement SB 79 necessitate an interim enactment to guide development while the City takes more permanent action; and
WHEREAS, the City Council is the final authority on General Plan, Specific Plan, and Zoning amendments, including amendments to the Land Use Map and Zoning Map; and WHEREAS, on May 19, 2026, the City Council held a lawfully-noticed public hearing and after considering all testimony and written materials provided in connection with that

4 Ordinance 38.860
hearing adopted this Urgency Ordinance, waived the reading thereof, and declared it necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety; and WHEREAS, SB 79 takes effect on July 1, 2026, and a regular, non-urgency ordinance implementing SB 79 would not become effective until 30 days after its adoption at a second reading, pursuant to California Government Code Section 36937; and WHEREAS, without adoption of this Ordinance on an urgency basis, there exists an interim period between July 1, 2026, the date SB 79 becomes operative, and the date a permanent, non-urgency ordinance implementing SB 79 would otherwise take effect, during which qualifying transit-oriented housing development projects within one-half mile of the Milpitas BART Station, the Great Mall VTA Light Rail Station, and the Alder VTA Light Rail Station could be submitted and processed without the clearly applicable benefit of the City's locally tailored development standards, objective design standards, affordability requirements, tree protection regulations, anti-displacement protections, and other local regulations established by this Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the absence of locally adopted implementing regulations during this interim period constitutes a current and immediate threat to the public peace, health, and safety because, without immediate adoption of this Urgency Ordinance, the City would be well-positioned to apply its locally tailored standards to qualifying transit-oriented housing development projects submitted on or after July 1, 2026, and it is the present intention of the City Council to keep this Urgency Ordinance in effect only until the adoption and effective date of a permanent ordinance implementing SB 79; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and declares that this Urgency Ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety within the meaning of California Government Code Sections 65858 and 36937, and that the facts constituting such urgency are set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, all prerequisites for the adoption of this ordinance have been met.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Milpitas does ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. RECORD AND BASIS FOR ACTION
The City Council has duly considered the full record before it, which may include but is not limited to such things as the City staff report, testimony by staff and the public, and other materials and evidence submitted or provided to the City Council. Furthermore, the recitals set forth above are found to be true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AND MAP AMENDMENT FINDINGS (XIII-D.6.050)
The City Council makes the following findings based on the evidence in the public record in support of this Urgency Ordinance’s adoption:
a. The proposed Zoning Amendment is consistent with and conforms to the goals and policies of the General Plan;

5 Ordinance 38.860
The proposed text and map amendments are specifically consistent with General Plan Policy IM 1-2, which states to require the City’s Zoning Ordinance, planning documents, master plans, infrastructure projects, and development projects to be consistent with the General Plan and State law. This zoning ordinance and map amendment will implement recent legislation (SB 79) and bring the Zoning Ordinance into conformance with state housing law. The proposed text and map amendments are also consistent with General Plan Policy LU2-3, which states to allow densities and intensities which exceed the generally allowed ranges defined by the underlying land use for projects utilizing Density Bonus provisions including bonuses for senior housing, affordable housing, and for projects within designated overlay districts, as well as General Plan Policy LU2-2, which states to continue to utilize Overlay Zoning Districts as needed to supplement land use and zoning standards with additional allowances and regulations that reflect and use and policy objectives for a particular area. The intent of SB 79 is to build more homes near transit to reduce housing and transportation costs for California families and promote environmental sustainability, economic growth, and reduce traffic congestion.

Implementing the TOD Overlay District will not only bring the Zoning Ordinance into conformance with state law but also permit a greater variety of housing types in densities in areas close to major transit stops. The proposed text and map amendments are also consistent with General Plan Policy LU3-1, which states to support regional efforts that promote higher densities near major transit and travel facilities, and reduce regional vehicle miles traveled by supporting active modes of transportation including walking, biking, and public transit; support local and regional land use decisions that promote safe access to and the use of alternatives to auto transit, as well as General Plan Policy LU3-2, which states to continue to utilize planning tools (including specific plans and overlay districts) that promote transit-oriented and mixed-use development objectives near the Milpitas Transit Center. The TOD Overlay District will coincide with regional efforts and conform with state law to allow higher densities near transit and specifically continue to promote housing near the Milpitas Transit Center.

b. The proposed Zoning Amendment is consistent with and conforms to the goals and policies of any Specific Plan, if applicable;

The proposed zoning text and map amendments are consistent with and conform to the goals and policies of the Milpitas Metro Specific Plan (Metro). The core of the Metro Plan Vision is to create a complete and unique urban neighborhood. The proposed zoning text and map amendments are specifically consistent with Metro Specific Plan Land Use Policy LU2 (Transit Orientation), which states to capitalize on the transit orientation of the Plan Area to support transit ridership, reduce traffic congestion and greenhouse gas emissions, and support livability, and LU3 (Housing Diversity and Affordability), which states to provide transit-oriented housing that is accessible and affordable for a range of household types and income levels. The TOD Overlay District will not only conform with state law to allow higher densities near transit but also specifically continue to promote a variety of housing near the Milpitas Transit Center. The proposed zoning text and map amendments are also

6 Ordinance 38.860
consistent with and conform to the goals and policies of the Gateway-Main Street Specific Plan (Gateway). While the proposed zoning map and text amendment would only affect the southern end (South of O’Toole Elms Park to Curtis Avenue) of the Main Street District, South Railyards District, Elmwood District, and the Curtis neighborhood of the Gateway Plan, the TOD Overlay District will help implement the Plan’s vision of Main Street as a walkable, mixed-use urban village accessible from the surrounding community. One of the guiding principles of the Gateway Plan is to integrate a mix of housing types, scales, and affordability, including mixed-use, housing for families, smaller unit homes, live-work, senior housing, and affordable housing. The TOD Overlay District will allow higher densities near the Great Mall Light Rail Station, which will continue to facilitate a variety of housing types at different affordability levels near transit.

c. The proposed Zoning Amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, and general welfare;

The proposed zoning text and map amendments will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, and general welfare, because the action would allow varying residential densities in the TOD Overlay District that are consistent with State law and bring the overall Zoning Ordinance into conformance with State law. They would help facilitate new, higher density and transit-oriented development in appropriate areas, which would serve to advance numerous City goals related to community design, environment, and economic development. Moreover, the City retains authority through any future discretionary approvals to address project- specific health, safety, and welfare concerns in the TOD Overlay District.

d. The proposed Zoning Amendment is in compliance with the provisions of California Environmental Quality Act;

The proposed zoning text and map amendments are not a project under CEQA pursuant to Government Code Section 65912.160(c)(2). Adoption of the ordinance is a statutory implementation action.

e. When considering a reduction of residential density, ensure compliance with California Government Code Section 65863 by either finding that the remaining sites identified in the Housing Element are adequate to accommodate the City’s share of the regional housing need or by identifying sufficient additional, adequate, and available sites with an equal or greater density so that there is no net loss in residential density;

This finding is not applicable. The zoning text and map amendments are not reducing residential density.

f. The proposed Zoning Amendment would not result in a net loss of potential housing units;

7 Ordinance 38.860
The proposed Zoning Amendment would not result in a net loss of potential housing, as the Project amends the Zoning Ordinance to allow for qualifying housing projects in transit-oriented development zones pursuant to State law (SB 79).

g. The proposed Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment is internally consistent with other applicable provisions of this Title;

The proposed Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment is instituting changes to the Zoning Ordinance that reflect and conform with recent State law (SB 79). The purpose of the Zoning Ordinance is to promote public health, safety, comfort, and general welfare, and to enable appropriate and orderly development. More specifically, the Zoning Ordinance was adopted to provide standards for orderly growth and development of the city, and guide and control the use of land to provide a safe, harmonious, attractive, and sustainable community, as well as achieve the arrangement of land uses depicted in the General Plan, consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan. The proposed zoning text amendment will create a Transit-Oriented Development Overlay District that will specifically apply to qualifying housing projects within a half mile of qualifying transit-oriented development stops. The amendments are consistent with the Zoning Ordinance as a whole and do not create any internal inconsistencies.

h. The affected site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, operating characteristics, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle access and public services and utilities, to accommodate the uses and development densities or intensities allowed in the proposed new zone; and

The proposed Zoning Map Amendment is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, operating characteristics, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle access and public services and utilities, to accommodate the uses and development densities or intensities allowed in the proposed zone. The TOD Overlay would simply bring the Zoning Ordinance and Map into conformance with development density ranges into consistency with State law (SB 79). They would help facilitate new, higher density and transit-oriented development in appropriate areas, which would serve to advance numerous City goals related to community design, environment, and economic development. The TOD Overlay would also establish residential development standards for sites that are not zoned for residential development but subject to SB 79. Moreover, the City retains authority through any future discretionary approvals to address project-specific health, safety, and welfare concerns in the TOD Overlay District. If the projects are eligible for streamlining under State law, they would still be subject to the City’s Objective Design Standards.

i. If located within or adjacent to residential areas, the requested zone change is compatible with the character of the residential neighborhood.

The proposed zoning map amendment would create a TOD Overlay District in the half mile areas around three transit-oriented development stops within the City. The

8 Ordinance 38.860
proposed map amendment is generally compatible with the character of the residential neighborhoods. The TOD Overlay would bring the Zoning Ordinance and Map into conformance with development density ranges into consistency with State law (SB 79). They would help facilitate new, higher density and transit-oriented development in appropriate areas, which would serve to advance numerous City goals related to community design, environment, and economic development. The TOD Overlay would also establish residential development standards for sites that are not zoned for residential development but subject to SB 79. Moreover, the City retains authority through any future discretionary approvals to address project-specific health, safety, and welfare concerns in the TOD Overlay District. If the projects are eligible for streamlining under State law, they would still be subject to the City’s Objective Design Standards.

SECTION 3. AMENDMENT OF MILPITAS MUNICIPAL CODE TITLE XIII, CHAPTER B.20

2. Any housing development proposed pursuant to this Section not seeking streamlined approval under California Government Code Section 65913.4 shall be reviewed according to the City of Milpitas’s development review process and California Government Code Section 65589.5, except that any zoning standard that conflicts with the requirements of this Section shall not apply.

SECTION 4. AMENDMENT OF THE ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF MILPITAS The Zoning Map of the City of Milpitas, as amended, which was adopted as part of Ordinance No. 38.858, enacted as Title XIII, Chapter A, Section 2.060 of the Milpitas Municipal Code (“Zoning Map”), is hereby amended by rezoning the land use designation of only those parcels depicted within the depicted map as attached hereto as Exhibit 1.

SECTION 5. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
The City Council finds, pursuant to Government Code Section 65912.160(c)(2), the provisions of this Ordinance do not constitute a project and therefore are statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act.

SECTION 6. URGENCY DECLARATION
Pursuant to California Government Code Sections 65858 and 36937, the City Council hereby finds and declares that this Urgency Ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety, including for the following reasons:

Senate Bill 79 (California Government Code Sections 65912.155 et seq.) takes effect on July 1, 2026. SB 79 permits qualifying housing projects in areas that may not be otherwise zoned for housing projects and fails to specify sufficient standards for the development of such housing projects in the absence of applicable local regulations. If the permanent ordinance implementing SB 79 is adopted as a regular ordinance at a subsequent City Council meeting, it would not become effective until 30 days after the second reading pursuant to California Government Code Section 36937. Between July 1, 2026 and the date on which a permanent ordinance implementing SB 79 would otherwise take effect, there exists an interim period during which qualifying transit-oriented housing development projects may be submitted and processed without the clear benefit of the City's locally tailored development standards, objective design standards, affordability requirements, and other local regulations established by this Ordinance.

During this interim period, the absence of locally adopted implementing regulations would mean that qualifying housing development projects within one-half mile of the Milpitas BART Station, the Great Mall VTA Light Rail Station, and the Alder VTA Light Rail Station would be governed by state default standards that were adopted without reference to local circumstances or regulatory schemes. Such disordered development would not only upset the City's locally tailored standards designed to protect the public peace, health, safety, and welfare of Milpitas residents and neighborhoods but also creates confusion as to the applicability of local regulations that protect the public peace, health, safety, and welfare. This constitutes a current and immediate threat to the public peace, health, and safety, including for the following reasons:

15 Ordinance 38.860
• Without immediate adoption of local implementing standards, there would be untenable confusion in the applicability of the City’s Objective Design Standards, affordability requirements, tree protection regulations, subdivision requirements, and other generally applicable local regulations to qualifying transit-oriented housing development projects submitted on or after July 1, 2026, during the gap period before a permanent ordinance takes effect.
• The interim period between July 1, 2026 and the effective date of a permanent ordinance creates a regulatory gap that, if left unaddressed, could result in the approval of substandard projects that do not reflect the City's community design goals, neighborhood compatibility standards, and infrastructure capacity considerations. • Immediate adoption of this Urgency Ordinance eliminates the regulatory gap by ensuring that the City's locally tailored TOD Overlay District standards are in place and operative as of July 1, 2026, the date SB 79 takes effect, thereby protecting the public peace, health, and welfare of the community without interruption.

The design and construction of substandard development, including housing development and affordable housing development, that does not comply with local regulations, neighborhood compatibility standards, and infrastructure capacity consideration jeopardize the health, safety, and welfare of the public for generations to come and undermines the City’s goals of establishing safe and adequate shelter for its residents.

SECTION 7. SEVERABILITY
The provisions of this Urgency Ordinance are separable, and the invalidity of any phrase, clause, provision, or part has no effect on the validity of the remainder.

SECTION 8. EFFECTIVE DATE AND POSTING
This Urgency Ordinance takes effect immediately upon adoption pursuant to California Government Code Section 36937(b) and shall remain in effect until 45 days from the date of adoption, unless extended or repealed by the City Council in accordance with applicable law.

The City Council hereby directs the City Clerk to cause this Urgency Ordinance or a summary thereof to be published within fifteen (15) days of adoption in accordance with California Government Code Section 36933, and to post a certified copy of this Urgency Ordinance, including the vote for and against the same, in the Office of the City Clerk.

SECTION 9. SUNSET DATE
This Urgency Ordinance shall remain in full force and effect until it expires by its terms or until superseded by a permanent ordinance adopted by the City Council implementing SB 79 and the Transit-Oriented Development Overlay District. Upon the effective date of such permanent ordinance, this Urgency Ordinance shall be deemed superseded and of no further force or effect.

AGENDA REPORT
(AR)

Item Title: Conduct a Public Hearing and Consider Introducing an Ordinance Adding a New Section to Title XIII, Chapter B.20 of the Milpitas Municipal Code to Create a Transit-Oriented Development Overlay Zoning District to Implement Senate Bill 79 Development Standards (Staff Contact: Jay Lee, Planning Director, 408- 586-3073)
Category: Public Hearings-Community Development
Meeting Date: 5/19/2026
Recommendation: Conduct a public hearing and determine that the ordinance is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Government Code Section 65912.160(c)(2) and introduce an Ordinance adding a new section to Title XIII, Chapter B.20 of the Milpitas Municipal Code to create a Transit-Oriented Development Overlay (TOD) zoning district and regulations implementing Senate Bill 79 development standards (P-ZA26-0002).

BACKGROUND:

Senate Bill 79 (SB 79), the Abundant and Affordable Homes Near Transit Act, was signed by Governor Newsom on October 10, 2025, establishes new statewide requirements for the approval of transit-oriented housing developments near major transit stops, with the intent to increase housing production and promote sustainable, transit-accessible communities. SB 79 adds Sections 65912.155 et seq. to the California Government Code, setting forth eligibility criteria, development standards, and streamlined approval processes for qualifying projects within designated proximity to transit facilities. The law becomes operative on July 1, 2026, and preempts local zoning and development standards that are inconsistent with its provisions, unless a city adopts local implementing regulations that are consistent with SB 79. Table 1 outlines those minimum standards.

The City of Milpitas has three major transit stops and approximately 3,500 properties that would be impacted by SB 79. SB 79 defines a specific type of transit stop called a “transit-oriented development (TOD) stop” segregated into two tiers. Typically, a TOD stop is a major transit station served by heavy rail, high, or very high frequency rail, light rail, or bus rapid transit with a dedicated lane. Table 2 outlines the three major transit stops and their applicable Tier.

Local governments are authorized to adopt local ordinances to implement the statute as provided in California Government Code Section 65912.160.

On April 22, 2026, staff presented the draft zoning ordinance text and map amendment (P-ZA26-0002) implementing SB 79 to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission voted unanimously (6-0; Commissioner Brown absent) to adopt Resolution No. 26-008, recommending that the City Council adopt the zoning ordinance text and map amendment (P-ZA26-0002) implementing SB 79, however the Commission provided feedback regarding the possibility of increasing densities.

ANALYSIS:

The City of Milpitas has demonstrated its long-standing policy for higher density housing development in its areas served by transit. Since 2002, the City has adopted two Specific Plans (Gateway-Main Street, formerly the Midtown Specific Plan, and Milpitas Metro, formerly Transit Area Specific Plan) that have all increased density around the Tier 1 and Tier 2 TOD Zones. The Metro plan already permits densities in line with SB 79.

The area surrounding the Milpitas Transit Center (Tier 1) is zoned MXD3-Metro and allows residential density up to 250 du/acre and building heights up to 275 feet. Moreover, many of the properties immediately adjacent to the Milpitas Transit Center have already been redeveloped with multi-family residential. The Gateway Plan permits densities ranging from 12 to 65 du/acre in the half-mile area surrounding the Great Mall Light Rail Station (Tier 2). Under SB 79, these parcels could be eligible for additional density. However, many of the properties immediately adjacent to the Great Mall Light Rail Station have also been redeveloped with multi- family residential.

Although many areas eligible for SB 79 have been recently redeveloped due to the City’s Specific Plan efforts, the proposed ordinance amendment would implement the minimum densities and height maximums under SB 79 and establish residential development standards for sites that are not zoned for residential development but subject to SB 79.

Proposed Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance
Based on feedback from the Planning Commission at its April 22, 2026 meeting and to better align with the State’s goals for transit-oriented development, staff amended the development standards to increase the minimum allowable densities across both Tiers. The applicable development standards have also been changed to better match the densities. The new minimum densities and standards are shown in Table 3.

The proposed ordinance implements SB 79 and includes the following amendments to Title XIII of the Milpitas Municipal Code (MMC):
• Add subsection B.20.040 Transit-Oriented Development Overlay Zone to Chapter B.20 Overlay Zones and Standards to implement California Government Code Sections 65912.155 through 65912.162 (SB 79). Specifically, it establishes the applicability of the TOD overlay under SB 79, incorporates the relevant definitions under the Government Code, and sets forth the minimum residential and height standards for qualifying housing projects.
• Specifically, the following development standards will apply:

Table 3: Transit-Oriented Development (-TOD) Overlay Zone Development Standards

Distance Tier 1 Tier 2
Adjacent to TOD stop (within
200 feet of pedestrian access
point)
Maximum Height: 95 feet
Minimum Density: 60 du/ac
Maximum Density: 160 du/ac
Maximum Residential FAR:

4.5 Maximum Height: 85 feet
Minimum Density: 60 du/ac
Maximum Density: 140 du/ac
Maximum Residential FAR:

4.0 ¼-mile from TOD stop Maximum Height: 75 feet
Minimum Density: 60 du/ac
Maximum Density: 120 du/ac
Maximum Residential FAR:

3.5 Maximum Height: 65 feet
Minimum Density: 60 du/ac
Maximum Density: 100 du/ac
Maximum Residential FAR:

3.0 ½-mile from TOD stop Maximum Height: 65 feet
Minimum Density: 60 du/ac
Maximum Density: 100 du/ac
Maximum Residential FAR:

3.0 Maximum Height: 55 feet
Minimum Density: 50 du/ac
Maximum Density: 80 du/ac
Maximum Residential FAR:

2.5 • Projects will be required to follow all other development standards as specified for in the R4-Metro and R5-Metro zoning districts.
• For parcels zoned R1-6 (single-family residential), a qualifying housing project will be subject to a minimum density of 30 du/acre and must follow all other development standards as specified under the R4 zoning district.

Proposed Amendments to the Zoning Map
The proposed zoning map amendment is a critical component of the ordinance to implement Senate Bill 79 (SB 79) and ensure compliance with state requirements for transit-oriented development. Following the publication of Planning Commission materials, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) released draft SB 79 Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) maps that incorporated updated methodologies, including the use of pedestrian access point data for major transit stops. This new information provided a more precise delineation of the half-mile areas around each transit stop, as required by SB 79, and allowed for a more accurate identification of eligible parcels.

In response to these regional mapping updates, City staff reviewed and revised the proposed TOD Overlay boundaries to align with the latest MTC and VTA methodologies. The updated map now reflects the most current and accurate data regarding pedestrian access points and walkable routes to transit, ensuring that the overlay applies only to parcels that are truly within a half-mile walking distance of the designated major transit stops, as defined by state law. This approach is consistent with the intent of SB 79 to promote equitable and effective transit-oriented housing development and to avoid over- or under-inclusion of parcels based on outdated or less precise mapping techniques.

The proposed zoning map amendment (Attachment A – Exhibit 1) will implement the Transit-Oriented Development (-TOD) Overlay on the City’s Zoning Map, enacted by Title XIII, Chapter A, Section 2.060 of the Milpitas Municipal Code. The TOD Overlay will apply to all parcels within the updated half-mile areas surrounding the three major transit stops, as defined by Senate Bill 79 and the implementing ordinance.

General Plan Conformance
The City’s General Plan is the primary long-range planning document that provides the vision for the future growth and development of Milpitas. The proposed zoning text and map amendments implementing SB 79 conform to the policies and standards in the City’s General Plan, as demonstrated in the following table:

Table 4: General Plan Consistency

Policy / Actions Conformance
Implementation
Policy IM 1-2:

Require the City’s Zoning Ordinance,
planning documents, master plans,
infrastructure projects, and development
projects to be consistent with the General
Plan and State law.

Consistent. This zoning ordinance and map
amendment will implement recent legislation
(SB 79) and bring the Zoning Ordinance into
conformance with state housing law.

Land Use Element
Policy LU 2-3:

Allow densities and intensities which exceed
the generally allowed ranges defined by the
underlying land use for projects utilizing
Density Bonus provisions including bonuses
for senior housing, affordable housing, and
for projects within designated overlay
districts.

Consistent. The intent of SB 79 is to build
more homes near transit to reduce housing
and transportation costs for California families
and promote environmental sustainability,
economic growth, and reduce traffic
congestion. Implementing the TOD Overlay
District will not only bring the Zoning
Ordinance into conformance with state law but
also permit a greater variety of housing types
in densities in areas close to major transit
stops.

Land Use Element
Policy LU 2-2:

Continue to utilize Overlay Zoning Districts
as needed to supplement land use and
zoning standards with additional allowances
and regulations that reflect and use and
policy objectives for a particular area.

Consistent. The intent of SB 79 is to build
more homes near transit to reduce housing
and transportation costs for California families
and promote environmental sustainability,
economic growth, and reduce traffic
congestion. Implementing the TOD Overlay
District will not only bring the Zoning
Ordinance into conformance with state law but
also permit a greater variety of housing types
in densities in areas close to major transit
stops.

Land Use Element
Policy LU 3-2:

Continue to utilize planning tools (including
specific plans and overlay districts) that
promote transit-oriented and mixed-use
development objectives near the Milpitas
Transit Center.

Consistent. The TOD Overlay District will
coincide with regional efforts and conform with
state law to allow higher densities near transit
and specifically continue to promote housing
near the Milpitas Transit Center.

Specific Plan Conformance
The proposed zoning ordinance and map amendments are in both the Milpitas Metro (Metro) Specific Plan and Gateway-Main Street (Gateway) Specific Plan area. These designations provide for high-density and medium- density residential uses. As demonstrated in Table 5, the proposed zoning ordinance and map amendments are consistent with the applicable Metro and Gateway-Main Street Specific Plan land use policies.

Table 5: Metro and Gateway-Main Street Specific Plan Consistency

Policy Conformance
Metro Specific Plan Land Use
Policy LU2:

Capitalize on the transit orientation of the
Plan Area to support transit ridership,
reduce traffic congestion and greenhouse
gas emissions, and support livability.

Consistent. The core of the Metro Plan
Vision is to create a complete and unique
urban neighborhood. The TOD Overlay
District will not only conform with state law to
allow higher densities near transit but also
specifically continue to promote a variety of
housing near the Milpitas Transit Center.

Metro Specific Plan Land Use
Policy LU3:

Provide transit-oriented housing that is
accessible and affordable for a range of
household types and income levels.

Consistent. The TOD Overlay District will not
only conform with state law to allow higher
densities near transit but also specifically
continue to promote a variety of housing near
the Milpitas Transit Center.

Gateway-Main Street Specific Plan
Guiding Principle:

Integrate a mix of housing types, scales, and
affordability, including mixed-use, housing
for families, smaller unit homes, live-work,
senior housing, and affordable housing.

Consistent. While the proposed zoning map
and text amendment would only affect the
southern end (South of O’Toole Elms Park to
Curtis Avenue) of the Main Street District,
South Railyards District, Elmwood District,
and the Curtis neighborhood of the Gateway
Plan, the TOD Overlay District will help
implement the Plan’s vision of Main Street as
a walkable, mixed-use urban village
accessible from the surrounding community.

The TOD Overlay District will allow higher
densities near the Great Mall Light Rail
Station, which will continue to facilitate a
variety of housing types at different
affordability levels near transit.

Findings for Approval
The City Council shall consider the following findings in considering approval of a zoning ordinance amendment:

Zoning Ordinance Text and Map Amendments (Milpitas Municipal Code Section XIII, Chapter D.6.050) a. The proposed Zoning Amendment is consistent with and conforms to the goals and policies of the General Plan.

The proposed text and map amendments are specifically consistent with General Plan Policy IM 1- 2, which states to require the City’s Zoning Ordinance, planning documents, master plans, infrastructure projects, and development projects to be consistent with the General Plan and State law. This zoning ordinance and map amendment will implement recent legislation (SB 79) and bring the Zoning Ordinance into conformance with state housing law. The proposed text and map amendments are also consistent with General Plan Policy LU2-3, which states to allow densities and intensities which exceed the generally allowed ranges defined by the underlying land use for projects utilizing Density Bonus provisions including bonuses for senior housing, affordable housing, and for projects within designated overlay districts, as well as General Plan Policy LU2-2, which states to continue to utilize Overlay Zoning Districts as needed to supplement land use and zoning standards with additional allowances and regulations that reflect and use and policy objectives for a particular area. The intent of SB 79 is to build more homes near transit to reduce

housing and transportation costs for California families and promote environmental sustainability, economic growth, and reduce traffic congestion. Implementing the TOD Overlay District will not only bring the Zoning Ordinance into conformance with state law but also permit a greater variety of housing types in densities in areas close to major transit stops. The proposed text and map amendments are also consistent with General Plan Policy LU3-1, which states to support regional efforts that promote higher densities near major transit and travel facilities, and reduce regional vehicle miles traveled by supporting active modes of transportation including walking, biking, and public transit; support local and regional land use decisions that promote safe access to and the use of alternatives to auto transit, as well as General Plan Policy LU3-2, which states to continue to utilize planning tools (including specific plans and overlay districts) that promote transit-oriented and mixed-use development objectives near the Milpitas Transit Center. The TOD Overlay District will coincide with regional efforts and conform with state law to allow higher densities near transit and specifically continue to promote housing near the Milpitas Transit Center.

b. The proposed Zoning Amendment is consistent with and conforms to the goals and policies of any Specific Plan, if applicable;

The proposed zoning text and map amendments are consistent with and conform to the goals and policies of the Milpitas Metro Specific Plan (Metro). The core of the Metro Plan Vision is to create a complete and unique urban neighborhood. The proposed zoning text and map amendments are specifically consistent with Metro Specific Plan Land Use Policy LU2 (Transit Orientation), which states to capitalize on the transit orientation of the Plan Area to support transit ridership, reduce traffic congestion and greenhouse gas emissions, and support livability, and LU3 (Housing Diversity and Affordability), which states to provide transit-oriented housing that is accessible and affordable for a range of household types and income levels. The TOD Overlay District will not only conform with state law to allow higher densities near transit but also specifically continue to promote a variety of housing near the Milpitas Transit Center. The proposed zoning text and map amendments are also consistent with and conform to the goals and policies of the Gateway-Main Street Specific Plan (Gateway). While the proposed zoning map and text amendment would only affect the southern end (South of O’Toole Elms Park to Curtis Avenue) of the Main Street District, South Railyards District, Elmwood District, and the Curtis neighborhood of the Gateway Plan, the TOD Overlay District will help implement the Plan’s vision of Main Street as a walkable, mixed-use urban village accessible from the surrounding community. One of the guiding principles of the Gateway Plan is to integrate a mix of housing types, scales, and affordability, including mixed-use, housing for families, smaller unit homes, live-work, senior housing, and affordable housing. The TOD Overlay District will allow higher densities near the Great Mall Light Rail Station, which will continue to facilitate a variety of housing types at different affordability levels near transit.

c. The proposed Zoning Amendment will not adversely affect the public health, safety and welfare;

The proposed zoning text and map amendments will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, and general welfare, because the action would allow varying residential densities in the TOD Overlay District that are consistent with State law and bring the overall Zoning Ordinance into conformance with State law. They would help facilitate new, higher density and transit-oriented development in appropriate areas, which would serve to advance numerous City goals related to community design, environment, and economic development.

Moreover, the City retains authority through any future discretionary approvals to address project- specific health, safety, and welfare concerns in the TOD Overlay District.

d. The proposed Zoning Amendment is in compliance with the provisions of California Environmental Quality Act;

The proposed zoning text and map amendments are not a project under CEQA pursuant to Government Code Section 65912.160(c)(2). Adoption of the ordinance is a statutory implementation action.

e. When considering a reduction of residential density, ensure compliance with California Government Code section 65863 by either finding that the remaining sites identified in the Housing Element are adequate to accommodate the City’s share of the regional housing need or by identifying sufficient additional, adequate, and available sites with an equal or greater density so that there is no net loss in residential density; and

This finding is not applicable. The zoning text and map amendments are not reducing residential density.

f. The proposed Zoning Amendment would not result in a net loss of potential housing units.

The proposed Zoning Amendment would not result in a net loss of potential housing, as the Project amends the Zoning Ordinance to allow for qualifying housing projects in transit-oriented development zones pursuant to State law (SB 79).

g. The proposed Zoning Amendment is internally consistent with other applicable provisions of this Title

The proposed Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment is instituting changes to the Zoning Ordinance that reflect and conform with recent State law (SB 79). The purpose of the Zoning Ordinance is to promote public health, safety, comfort, and general welfare, and to enable appropriate and orderly development. More specifically, the Zoning Ordinance was adopted to provide standards for orderly growth and development of the city, and guide and control the use of land to provide a safe, harmonious, attractive, and sustainable community, as well as achieve the arrangement of land uses depicted in the General Plan, consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan. The proposed zoning text amendment will create a Transit-Oriented Development Overlay District that will specifically apply to qualifying housing projects within a half mile of qualifying transit-oriented development stops. The amendments are consistent with the Zoning Ordinance as a whole and do not create any internal inconsistencies.

h. The affected site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, operating characteristics, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle access and public services and utilities, to accommodate the uses and development densities or intensities allowed in the proposed new zone; and

The proposed Zoning Map Amendment is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, operating characteristics, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle access and public services and utilities, to accommodate the uses and development densities or intensities allowed in the proposed zone. The TOD Overlay would simply bring the Zoning Ordinance and Map into conformance with development density ranges into consistency with State law (SB 79). They would help facilitate new, higher density and transit-oriented development in appropriate areas, which would serve to advance numerous City goals related to community design, environment, and economic development. The TOD Overlay would also establish residential development standards for sites that are not zoned for residential development but subject to SB 79. Moreover, the City retains authority through any future discretionary approvals to address project-specific health, safety, and welfare concerns in the TOD Overlay District. If projects are eligible for streamlining under State law, they would still be subject to the City’s Objective Design Standards.

i. If located within or adjacent to residential areas, the requested zone change is compatible with the character of the residential neighborhood.

The proposed zoning map amendment would create a TOD Overlay District in the half mile areas around three transit-oriented development stops within the City. The proposed map amendment is generally compatible with the character of the residential neighborhoods. The TOD Overlay would bring the Zoning Ordinance and Map into conformance with development density ranges into consistency with State law (SB 79). They would help facilitate new, higher density and transit- oriented development in appropriate areas, which would serve to advance numerous City goals

related to community design, environment, and economic development. The TOD Overlay would also establish residential development standards for sites that are not zoned for residential development but subject to SB 79. Moreover, the City retains authority through any future discretionary approvals to address project-specific health, safety, and welfare concerns in the TOD Overlay District. If projects are eligible for streamlining under State law, they would still be subject to the City’s Objective Design Standards.

POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):

Alternative 1: Do not adopt the Ordinance.

Pros: None

Cons: If the City does not adopt an ordinance, the City would forgo the opportunity to provide local clarity application procedures, design standards, and other implementation details that are not specified in state law.

It would also increase the likelihood that projects will be approved under state default standards, which may not align with the City’s adopted planning objectives, specific plan policies, or community design preferences.

Reason for Not Recommending: This alternative is not recommended because the absence of a local implementing ordinance could undermine established policy goals related to housing quality, affordability, and neighborhood compatibility, and would forfeit the City’s opportunity to maintain consistency with its General Plan and specific plans. Adopting a local ordinance enables the City to provide a clear, objective, and locally tailored regulatory framework while maintaining compliance with state law.

PROJECT SCHEDULE/KEY MILESTONES
The following timeline outlines the key steps for implementation:
• May 19, 2026: City Council consideration and potential adoption of the urgency ordinance. • Immediate: Ordinance becomes effective upon adoption by a four-fifths vote, ensuring no lapse in local regulatory authority.
• May 19, 2026: City Council consideration and potential adoption of the permanent ordinance. • May–June 2026: Publication and posting of the adopted ordinance in accordance with Government Code Section 36933.
• June 2, 2026: City Council consideration and potential second reading of the permanent ordinance. • July 1, 2026: SB 79 becomes operative statewide; City’s urgency ordinance ensures local standards remain in effect.
• July 2, 2026: Potential permanent ordinance goes into effect and the urgency ordinance is automatically repealed.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct fiscal impact associated with adoption of the proposed ordinance. Any administrative costs associated with ordinance adoption and California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) coordination would be absorbed within existing departmental resources.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA):

The proposed ordinance is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Government Code Section 65912.160(c)(2). This is an ordinance that is implementing Senate Bill 79.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Milpitas does ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. RECORD AND BASIS FOR ACTION
The City Council has duly considered the full record before it, which may include but is not limited to such things as the City staff report, testimony by staff and the public, and other materials and evidence submitted or provided to the City Council. Furthermore, the recitals set forth above are found to be true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AND MAP AMENDMENT
FINDINGS (XIII-D.6.050)
The City Council makes the following findings based on the evidence in the public record in support of Zoning Amendment No. ZA26-0002:
a. The proposed Zoning Amendment is consistent with and conforms to the goals and policies of the General Plan;

The proposed text and map amendments are specifically consistent with General Plan Policy IM 1-2, which states to require the City’s Zoning Ordinance, planning documents, master plans, infrastructure projects, and development projects to be consistent with the General Plan and State law. This zoning ordinance and map amendment will implement recent legislation (SB 79) and bring the Zoning Ordinance into conformance with state housing law. The proposed text and map amendments are also consistent with General Plan Policy LU2-3, which states to allow densities and intensities which exceed the generally allowed ranges defined by the underlying land use for projects utilizing Density Bonus provisions including bonuses for senior housing, affordable housing, and for projects within designated

4 Ordinance No. 38.861
overlay districts, as well as General Plan Policy LU2-2, which states to continue to utilize Overlay Zoning Districts as needed to supplement land use and zoning standards with additional allowances and regulations that reflect and use and policy objectives for a particular area. The intent of SB 79 is to build more homes near transit to reduce housing and transportation costs for California families and promote environmental sustainability, economic growth, and reduce traffic congestion.

Implementing the TOD Overlay District will not only bring the Zoning Ordinance into conformance with state law but also permit a greater variety of housing types in densities in areas close to major transit stops. The proposed text and map amendments are also consistent with General Plan Policy LU3-1, which states to support regional efforts that promote higher densities near major transit and travel facilities, and reduce regional vehicle miles traveled by supporting active modes of transportation including walking, biking, and public transit; support local and regional land use decisions that promote safe access to and the use of alternatives to auto transit, as well as General Plan Policy LU3-2, which states to continue to utilize planning tools (including specific plans and overlay districts) that promote transit-oriented and mixed-use development objectives near the Milpitas Transit Center. The TOD Overlay District will coincide with regional efforts and conform with state law to allow higher densities near transit and specifically continue to promote housing near the Milpitas Transit Center.

b. The proposed Zoning Amendment is consistent with and conforms to the goals and policies of any Specific Plan, if applicable;

The proposed zoning text and map amendments are consistent with and conform to the goals and policies of the Milpitas Metro Specific Plan (Metro). The core of the Metro Plan Vision is to create a complete and unique urban neighborhood. The proposed zoning text and map amendments are specifically consistent with Metro Specific Plan Land Use Policy LU2 (Transit Orientation), which states to capitalize on the transit orientation of the Plan Area to support transit ridership, reduce traffic congestion and greenhouse gas emissions, and support livability, and LU3 (Housing Diversity and Affordability), which states to provide transit-oriented housing that is accessible and affordable for a range of household types and income levels. The TOD Overlay District will not only conform with state law to allow higher densities near transit but also specifically continue to promote a variety of housing near the Milpitas Transit Center. The proposed zoning text and map amendments are also consistent with and conform to the goals and policies of the Gateway-Main Street Specific Plan (Gateway). While the proposed zoning map and text amendment would only affect the southern end (South of O’Toole Elms Park to Curtis Avenue) of the Main Street District, South Railyards District, Elmwood District, and the Curtis neighborhood of the Gateway Plan, the TOD Overlay District will help implement the Plan’s vision of Main Street as a walkable, mixed-use urban village accessible from the surrounding community. One of the guiding principles of the Gateway Plan is to integrate a mix of housing types, scales, and affordability, including mixed-use, housing for families, smaller unit homes, live-work, senior housing, and affordable housing. The TOD Overlay District will allow higher densities near the Great Mall

5 Ordinance No. 38.861
Light Rail Station, which will continue to facilitate a variety of housing types at different affordability levels near transit.

c. The proposed Zoning Amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, and general welfare;

The proposed zoning text and map amendments will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, and general welfare, because the action would allow varying residential densities in the TOD Overlay District that are consistent with State law and bring the overall Zoning Ordinance into conformance with State law. They would help facilitate new, higher density and transit-oriented development in appropriate areas, which would serve to advance numerous City goals related to community design, environment, and economic development. Moreover, the City retains authority through any future discretionary approvals to address project- specific health, safety, and welfare concerns in the TOD Overlay District.

d. The proposed Zoning Amendment is in compliance with the provisions of California Environmental Quality Act;

The proposed zoning text and map amendments are not a project under CEQA pursuant to Government Code Section 65912.160(c)(2). Adoption of the ordinance is a statutory implementation action.

e. When considering a reduction of residential density, ensure compliance with California Government Code Section 65863 by either finding that the remaining sites identified in the Housing Element are adequate to accommodate the City’s share of the regional housing need or by identifying sufficient additional, adequate, and available sites with an equal or greater density so that there is no net loss in residential density;

This finding is not applicable. The zoning text and map amendments are not reducing residential density.

f. The proposed Zoning Amendment would not result in a net loss of potential housing units;

The proposed Zoning Amendment would not result in a net loss of potential housing, as the Project amends the Zoning Ordinance to allow for qualifying housing projects in transit-oriented development zones pursuant to State law (SB 79).

g. The proposed Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment is internally consistent with other applicable provisions of this Title;

The proposed Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment is instituting changes to the Zoning Ordinance that reflect and conform with recent State law (SB 79). The purpose of the Zoning Ordinance is to promote public health, safety, comfort, and

6 Ordinance No. 38.861
general welfare, and to enable appropriate and orderly development. More specifically, the Zoning Ordinance was adopted to provide standards for orderly growth and development of the city, and guide and control the use of land to provide a safe, harmonious, attractive, and sustainable community, as well as achieve the arrangement of land uses depicted in the General Plan, consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan. The proposed zoning text amendment will create a Transit-Oriented Development Overlay District that will specifically apply to qualifying housing projects within a half mile of qualifying transit-oriented development stops. The amendments are consistent with the Zoning Ordinance as a whole and do not create any internal inconsistencies.

h. The affected site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, operating characteristics, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle access and public services and utilities, to accommodate the uses and development densities or intensities allowed in the proposed new zone; and

The proposed Zoning Map Amendment is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, operating characteristics, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle access and public services and utilities, to accommodate the uses and development densities or intensities allowed in the proposed zone. The TOD Overlay would simply bring the Zoning Ordinance and Map into conformance with development density ranges into consistency with State law (SB 79). They would help facilitate new, higher density and transit-oriented development in appropriate areas, which would serve to advance numerous City goals related to community design, environment, and economic development. The TOD Overlay would also establish residential development standards for sites that are not zoned for residential development but subject to SB 79. Moreover, the City retains authority through any future discretionary approvals to address project-specific health, safety, and welfare concerns in the TOD Overlay District. If the projects are eligible for streamlining under State law, they would still be subject to the City’s Objective Design Standards.

i. If located within or adjacent to residential areas, the requested zone change is compatible with the character of the residential neighborhood.

The proposed zoning map amendment would create a TOD Overlay District in the half mile areas around three transit-oriented development stops within the City. The proposed map amendment is generally compatible with the character of the residential neighborhoods. The TOD Overlay would bring the Zoning Ordinance and Map into conformance with development density ranges into consistency with State law (SB 79). They would help facilitate new, higher density and transit-oriented development in appropriate areas, which would serve to advance numerous City goals related to community design, environment, and economic development. The TOD Overlay would also establish residential development standards for sites that are not zoned for residential development but subject to SB 79. Moreover, the City retains authority through any future discretionary approvals to address project-specific health, safety, and welfare concerns in the TOD Overlay District. If the projects are

7 Ordinance No. 38.861
eligible for streamlining under State law, they would still be subject to the City’s Objective Design Standards.
