Background and Analysis
On November 23, 2021, MLC Holdings filed an application to request approval of a Vesting Tentative Map (TM 03-21) subdividing approximately 20.11 acres into 76 single family residential lots. The development includes frontage improvements on East Cypress Road, frontage improvements of Machado Lane, improvement of a pocket park with a playground, a stormwater detention treatment area, and emergency vehicle access. This subdivision is located at the southwest corner of Machado Lane and East Cypress Road on APNs 033-190-003 and 033-190-004.

On June 13, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution 66-23 approving the Machado Property (Subdivision 9615) project’s Vesting Tentative Map (TM 03-21) and Design Review (DR 10-21).

On April 9, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution 47-24 approving the subdivision agreement with Meritage Homes of California, Inc. for Subdivision 9615 which requires specific subdivision improvements. This project required the installation of the Permanent Stormwater Pollution Prevention Measures in the form of a bioretention area for the Machado Property Subdivision project, which has been constructed with the improvements associated with the project. The City’s Stormwater Management and Discharge Control Ordinance require proper operation and maintenance of the permanent bioretention area by the respective property owners. The “Stormwater Management Facility Operations and Maintenance Agreement and Right of Entry” memorializes the owner’s maintenance, operations and inspection obligation under the City’s Ordinance and the approved plans.

The current Contra Costa Countywide Municipal Regional Permit No. CAS612008 under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Program was enacted by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board in December 2009.

This permit applies to all regulated projects located in the City of Oakley. The City adopted Ordinance No. 01-05, as required by the Permit, to enable this activity within the City of Oakley.

An Agreement for a Homeowners Association to Operate and Maintain a Stormwater Management Facility
Instruction Sheet for this Agreement
This agreement is designed to be used when development is occurring on property that will be subdivided as part of the project, and stormwater management facilities are required to be constructed on a separate parcel which will be owned by a homeowners' association.

1. Fill in the name of your jurisdiction in the appropriate blanks on the cover page, in the opening paragraph of the agreement, in the definition of NPDES Permit, in Section 1, and on the signature page.

Fill in the appropriate citation to your jurisdictions stormwater ordinance in the definition of Ordinance.

2. Fill in the name of the property owner in the blank on the cover page, in the opening paragraph of the agreement, in the definition of Property Owner (twice) and on the signature page. Get the name from a title report. If the owner is a corporation, two signatures of corporate officers are required. An incorrect name may result in the Agreement not being indexed properly by the County Recorder. Also insert the name of the project and the assessor's parcel number on the cover page.

3. Insert the numbers of the lots in the subdivision in the definition of Association and the definition of Lots. If the stormwater management facility is located on a parcel designed something other than Parcel A, change the designation in these definitions, and in Sections 1, 3 and 4.

4. Enter the recording information from the final subdivision map in the definition of Map.

5. Insert the name of the preparer of the Stormwater Operations and Maintenance Plan in the definition of Plan.

6. Insert the name of the adjoining public street in Recital B and Section 6. This is very important because for this Agreement to be binding on successors to the present owner, the law requires that the property "benefited" by the Agreement be specified in the Agreement.

7. Insert the month of the year you want the annual inspection to occur in Section 2.

8. Add the legal description of the property to Exhibit A. This should be all the real property in the subdivision, e.g., : "All that real property shown on the final map of Subdivision _____ filed of record on _______, 20__ in Book ____ of Maps at pages __ through __, inclusive in the Official Records of the Contra Costa County Recorder" (with the blanks filled in as they are in the definitions).

Again this is very important. For the Agreement to be binding on successors who buy the Lots and the homeowners' association, the new owners must have the constructive notice of the Agreement that is provided by proper recording of the Agreement. Proof-read your legal description. It is this legal description that gives notice to successors, not the assessor's parcel number you inserted on the cover page.

9. Check that the issues described in "CC&R Provisions which Require a Homeowners Association to Operate and Maintain a Stormwater Management Facility" are addressed in the property owner's proposed CC&Rs.

FROM: Kevin Rohani, P.E., Public Works Director & City Engineer SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Awarding a Construction Contract to FJ&I Engineering, Inc. for the Construction of Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/26 Curb, Gutter, & Sidewalk Repair and Reconstruction Project – Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Number 321
The City’s adopted FY 2025/26 Capital Improvement Program Budget designates funding for various infrastructure repair and replacement projects. This is consistent with the City’s goals to improve the quality of the City’s public infrastructure and to enhance the quality of life for our residents.

Capital Improvement Project No. 321 includes the repair and replacement of damaged and uplifted sidewalks or curb and gutter throughout the City of Oakley. The project is done annually to eliminate trip and fall hazards, and to provide safe streets and sidewalks for pedestrians in the community. Tree roots are a major cause of sidewalk uplifts, and this project is targeting some of the worst areas in the City where tree roots have damaged the concrete beyond any temporary repair.

Additionally, this project will work in coordination with the adopted 50-50 Concrete Repair Cost Share Program that helps the property owners in dealing with concrete curb, gutter, and sidewalk related problems, such as uplifts from tree root overgrowth. The 50-50 Concrete Repair Cost Share Program provides the City with assistance in managing the repair and replacement contract, as well as sharing the cost with the property owners. This project will help in providing safe pedestrian facilities and reduce liability and claims for trip and fall accidents.

After the completion of the project design and public bidding, on October 2, 2025, a total of nine (9) bids were received and FJ&I Engineering, Inc. submitted the lowest responsible bid for the project at a total cost of $95,000. This was a very competitive bidding process and the City received a very favorable bid for this project.

The construction of CIP 321 is anticipated to take place during the fall months, weather permitting.

Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
The approval of this agreement is consistent with the Oakley Strategic Plan under the Community Health and Safety Goal to provide safe streets in Oakley.

This item was included in the FY 2025/26 budget with a total budget of $150,000. This project is funded by Gas Tax RMRA funds (141). No additional funding is needed at this time to fund this contract.

Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution approving the construction agreement with FJ&I Engineering, Inc. for an amount not to exceed $95,000 and authorizes the City Manager to execute the agreement.

Additionally, due to variables associated with construction projects, and to address unforeseen circumstances during construction; staff further recommends that the City Council authorize staff to execute future change orders to the construction contract as necessary in an amount not to exceed $20,000 for work beyond what is defined in the base project bid.

FROM: Kevin Rohani, P.E., Public Works Director/City Engineer SUBJECT: Creating Zone 200 within the Oakley Special Police Tax Area consisting of the 5401 Live Oak Avenue project located at 5401 Live Oak Avenue (APN 037-090-005-2)
Background and Analysis
On August 8, 2023, the City Zoning Administrator approved a Design Review application for minor site improvements with certain Conditions of Approval for the proposed 5401 Live Oak Avenue project (the “Project”). The Project is designated as Commercial in the Oakley General Plan and C (General Commercial) district on the City of Oakley Zoning Map. The Project is currently comprised of APN 037-090-005- 2, which is anticipated to be comprised of one office parcel upon completion of the Project.

The Conditions of Approval for the Project require the Developer to mitigate the financial impact their project has on the City’s police services budget. The City of Oakley previously formed the Oakley Special Police Tax Area that authorizes the levy of an annual special tax on parcels to mitigate their financial impact to the City’s police services budget. The property owner for the Project has requested the City assist with annexing the Project into the Oakley Special Police Tax Area to satisfy their Conditions of Approval.

Beginning May 2016, the City established its own police department and no longer contracts with the Sheriff’s office to provide public safety. In order to ensure that revenue grows at a rate sufficient to cover the cost of providing police services, City Council approved Resolution No. 113-16 on July 12, 2016 that allows for an adjustment in the annual tax per parcel by the increase in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers for the San Francisco-Oakland-Bay Area to become effective July 1, 2016.

Adoption of the attached resolution and introduction of the attached ordinance will set an election date for November 17, 2025, which shall be conducted by the City Clerk via a mail ballot election. The vote will then be ratified at the December 9, 2025, regular City Council meeting, and the ordinance will take effect at that time assuming a favorable vote.

Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
This item is consistent with the Strategic Plan 27+ Park and Open Space and Finance and Fiscal Responsibility section goals.

There will be no financial impact to the City's General Fund. The applicant has funded all costs associated with the annexation of Zone 200 to the Oakley Special Police Tax Area. The Fiscal Year 2025/26 special tax rate for office parcels is $2,695.08/parcel.

The Project is anticipated to consist of one office parcel upon completion of the Project.

Therefore, the successful creation of the Zone is expected to provide up to $2,695.08 (in Fiscal Year 2025/26 dollars) in revenue annually at build-out. The taxes can be collected on the property tax rolls commencing in Fiscal Year 2026/27.

Staff Recommendation
The Conditions of Approval for the 5401 Live Oak Avenue project located at 5401 Live Oak Avenue (APN 037-090-005-2) require the property owner to mitigate their financial impact on the police services budget. Adoption of this resolution and ordinance will set an election to be held on November 17, 2025. The election will then be ratified at the December 9, 2025, regular City Council meeting. Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Adopt the Resolution creating Zone 200 within the Oakley Special Police Tax Area consisting of the 5401 Live Oak Avenue project located at 5401 Live Oak Avenue (APN 037-090-005-2); and

2. Introduce the Ordinance Establishing a Special Tax for Police Protection.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OAKLEY
ESTABLISHING OAKLEY SPECIAL POLICE TAX AREA ZONE 200 WITHIN THE

OAKLEY SPECIAL POLICE TAX AREA FOR A SPECIAL TAX FOR POLICE PROTECTION SERVICES FOR THE 5401 LIVE OAK AVENUE PROJECT LOCATED AT 5401 LIVE OAK AVENUE (APN 037-090-005-2)
The Voters of the City of Oakley do ordain as follows:

Section 1. Purpose, Intent and Authority.

It is the purpose and intent of this Ordinance to authorize the levy of a special tax on real property that is within Oakley Special Police Tax Area Zone 200 of the Oakley Special Police Tax Area as shown on the Exhibit A map attached hereto in order to provide funding for police protection to serve the property and persons within said Zone.

This Tax is a special tax within the meaning of Section 4 of Article XIIlA of the California Constitution. Because the burden of this tax falls upon property, this tax also is a property tax, but this tax is not determined according to nor in any manner based upon the value of property; this tax is levied on a parcel and use of property basis. Insofar as not inconsistent with this Ordinance or with legislation authorizing special taxes and insofar as applicable to a property tax that is not based on value, such provisions of the California Revenue and Taxation Code and of Article XIII of the California Constitution as relate to ad valorem property taxes are intended to apply to the collection and administration of this tax (Section 4 of this Ordinance), as authorized by law.

The revenues raised by this tax are to be used solely for the purposes of obtaining, furnishing, operating, and maintaining police protection equipment or apparatus, for paying the salaries and benefits of police protection personnel, and for such other police protection service expenses as are deemed necessary for the benefit of the residents of Zone 200.

This Ordinance is enacted pursuant to the authority of Government Code Section 53978.

Section 2. Definitions.

The following definitions shall apply throughout this Ordinance.

A. "Constant first year dollars" shall mean an actual dollar amount which, in years subsequent to the first fiscal year the tax is levied, shall have the same purchasing price as the base amount in first fiscal year dollars as measured by the actual cost of services for the City of Oakley's cost of obtaining police services. The base amount shall be the 58 Ordinance No. XX-25 Page 2 of 4
amount of tax per parcel as specified in Section 3.A herein. The adjustments from actual to constant dollars shall be made by use of the actual cost of services, as specified in Section 3.B herein.

B. "Fiscal year" means the period of July 1 through the following June 30.

C. "Oakley Special Police Tax Area" includes all properties within the jurisdictional limits of the City of Oakley.

D. Oakley Special Police Tax Area Zone 200 (hereinafter called "Zone") means that portion of the incorporated area of the City of Oakley located within the boundaries as shown on the map Exhibit A hereto.

E. "Parcel" means the land and any improvements thereon, designated by an assessor's parcel map and parcel number and carried on the secured property tax roll of Contra Costa County. For the purposes of this Ordinance, parcel does not include any land or improvements outside the boundaries of the Zone, nor any land or improvements owned by any governmental entity.

F. Pursuant to Government Code §53978, "voter" means a person owning real property within the Zone at the time this Ordinance was adopted, as shown on the last equalized assessment role prepared by the Contra Costa County Assessor's Office.

Section 3. Amount and Level of Taxes.

The tax per year on each parcel in the Zone shall not exceed the amount applicable to the parcel, as specified below.

A. For First Fiscal Year:

The tax per year for the first fiscal year (July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026) shall be the amount of Tax Per Parcel for a Property Use Code Category as set forth on Exhibit B hereto. If any new development, including new residential units, is completed prior to the tax being effective for the first fiscal year, the owner of the Parcel, as shown on the latest assessment roll, shall pay the tax for the remainder of such fiscal year on a prorated basis to the City, no later than receipt of Certificate of Occupancy or final building permit inspection.
59 Ordinance No. XX-25 Page 3 of 4
B. For Subsequent Fiscal Year:

The tax rates shown in Exhibit B shall be automatically adjusted on July 1 of each year, beginning on July 1, 2026, by the increase in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers for the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Area and applying that rate to the prior year amounts for each property use code category. However, the City Council reserves the right to itself the opportunity to adjust the rate in the following year if the CPI adjustment is insufficient to reimburse the City for the costs of providing levels of police services as approved by the City Council.

In no event shall the tax per parcel for any fiscal year be less than the amount established for the previous fiscal year.

C. The taxes levied on each parcel pursuant to this Article shall be a charge upon the parcel and shall be due and collectible as set forth in Section 4, below.

Section 4. Collection and Administration.

A. Taxes as Liens Against the Property.

The amount of taxes for each parcel each year shall constitute a lien on such property, in accordance with Revenue and Taxation Code Section 2187, and shall have the same effect as an ad valorem real property tax lien until fully paid.

B. Collection.

The taxes on each parcel shall be billed on the secured roll tax bills for ad valorem property taxes and are to be collected in the same manner in which the County of Contra Costa collects secured roll ad valorem property taxes. Insofar as feasible and insofar as not inconsistent with this Ordinance, the times and procedure regarding exceptions, due dates, installment payments, corrections, cancellations, refunds, late payments, penalties, liens, and collections for secured roll ad valorem property taxes shall be applicable to the collection of this tax. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, as to this tax:
i) The secured roll tax bills shall be the only notices required for this tax, and ii) The homeowners and veterans exemptions shall not be applicable because such exemptions are determined by dollar amount of value.

C. Costs of Administration by County.

The reasonable costs incurred by the County officers collecting and administering this tax shall be deducted from the collected taxes.
60 Ordinance No. XX-25 Page 4 of 4
Section 5. Severability Clause.

If any article, section, subsection, sentence, phrase or clause of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this Ordinance. The voters of the Zone hereby declare that they would have adopted the remainder of this Ordinance, including each article, section, subsection, sentenced phrase or clause, irrespective of the invalidity of any other article, section, subsection, sentence, phrase or clause.

Section 6. Effective Date and Posting.

This Ordinance shall take effect immediately upon its confirmation by two-thirds of the voters voting within the Zone in an election to be held on November 17, 2025, so that taxes shall first be collected hereunder for the tax year beginning July 1, 2026. If not confirmed by two-thirds of the voters participating in the election, this Ordinance and the tax approved herein shall not become effective.

The City of Oakley is initiating a General Plan Amendment (GPA 2025-004) and Rezoning (RZ 2025-004) application to implement Policy Action 1.1 of the City of Oakley Housing Element 2023-2031 (Housing Element). The proposed project consists of the following requests:
• Approval of amendments to the Oakley General Plan Land Use Element creating a new Land Use Designation (Residential Multiple Family (RMF)) essential for Rezoning of sites to meet the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) of the Housing Element. • Approval of amendments to the General Plan Land Use Designation on seven residentially designated parcels from Residential High (RH) and Residential Medium (RM) to Residential Multiple Family (RMF) (APNs 033-012-007, 033-012-008, 033-012-009, 033-012-012, 033-180-007, 033-180-015, 035-282-054).
• Approval of an amendment to the General Plan Land Use Designation on a portion of one parcel from Residential High (RH) to Commercial (CO) (APN 053-071-046). • Approval of a Zoning Text Amendment to amend Section 9.1.406 (Multiple Family Residential Districts) of the Oakley Municipal Code by adding text related to the proposed M-30 (Multiple Family Residential) District.
• Approval of a Rezone to seven parcels from M-9 and M-12 (Multiple Family Residential) District to M-30 District (APNs 033-012-007, 033-012-008, 033-012-009, 033-012-012, 033-180-007, 033-180-015, 035-282-054).
• Approval of a Rezone to one parcel from P-1 (Planned Unit Development) District to C (General Commercial) District (APN 053-071-046).
• Approval of a Rezone to nine commercially designated and zoned parcels through application of the AHO (Affordable Housing Overlay) District over their underlying zoning districts (APNs 035-172-004, 035-173-008, 035-182-015, 035-281-007, 035-282-058, 035-282-062, 053-071-041, 053-071-042, 053-071-046).

These zoning text amendments collectively are intended to further the City’s compliance with its adopted Housing Element and applicable fair housing regulations (“Project”).

Background and Discussion

CERTIFIED HOUSING ELEMENT
The Housing Element is one of the seven mandatory elements of each city’s General Plan, functioning as a locally adopted blueprint of goals, policies, and programs to address existing and projected housing needs. State law requires jurisdictions to update their Housing Element every eight years and obtain certification from the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) is the state-mandated process that determines the total number of housing units—and the breakdown by income category—that each jurisdiction must plan for in its Housing Element over the eight-year cycle. In the past, the City has satisfied RHNA requirements by applying an Affordable Housing Overlay District (AHO) to enough acreage at state-mandated minimum densities to accommodate the assigned number of affordable housing units.

After the City Council adopted the most recent Housing Element in 2023, and just prior to the HCD’s certification of the Housing Element, a court case (Martinez v. City of Clovis, 2023) set new limits on the practice of using an AHO to satisfy RHNA for affordable units. As a result, HCD was not able to certify the Housing Element as adopted. To address this, the City had to adjust its approach by incorporating an alternative method of meeting its RHNA obligations in the Housing Element.

Subsequently, the City Council re-adopted the Housing Element with the addition of rezoning to the proposed solutions to satisfy RHNA requirements. In practice, rezoning involves creating a new land use designation and zoning district that meet state requirements, followed by identifying suitable sites and processing the necessary General Plan Land Use Amendments and Zoning changes. HCD approved the alternative method and certified the Housing Element on May 24, 2023, narrowly meeting the May 31, 2023 deadline that would have required the Rezoning process to be completed by January 31, 2024, if missed. Since HCD certified the Housing Element prior to May 31, 2023, the City was given three years from January 31, 2023 to satisfy its RHNA obligations.

REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS ALLOCATION (RHNA)
The certified Housing Element includes a breakdown of the RHNA required to be accommodated during this 6th Cycle. In summary, the City is required to provide zoning capacity for 1,058 residential units, 440 of which are required to meet LowerIncome requirements. HCD defines units meeting the Lower-Income level as “affordable units.” Affordable units include Low-Income, Very Low-Income, and Extremely Low-Income, or income levels that are between 80% and 51% of the median household income for Low-Income and 50% to 0% of the median household 65 STAFF REPORT

income for Very Low-Income. The Extremely Low-Income category is for incomes earning 30% or less of the median household income, and the number of RHNA units for that category is assumed to make up half of the Very-Low-Income units.

For clarification, Staff has broken Extremely Low-Income out as a separate category in the table below and adjusted the Very Low-Income units accordingly. Table 1 shows Oakley’s 2023-2031 RHNA units per income level.

For additional reference and background, the Moderate-Income category captures income levels between 81% and 120% of the median household income, and the Above-Moderate-Income level captures everything above 120% of the median household income level. The median household income is derived from the County average. On April 23, 2025, HCD produced the 2025 State Income Limits memorandum, which provides a summary of all of California counties’ income limits.

That memorandum shows Contra Costa County’s median income for a household of four persons is $159,8001.

CALCULATING A SITE’S POTENTIAL RHNA AFFORDABLE UNITS
Oakley’s certified Housing Element includes a list of existing and candidate AHO sites along with their potential RHNA affordable units. The City was able to show a feasible base density of 24 dwelling units per acre (“du/ac”) for AHO sites; however, pursuant to HCD standards, the capacity on sites that are not vacant or that have an underlying commercial zoning is reduced by 25% from the original potential number of units for each of those scenarios. As an example, if a site that could accommodate 40 units at 24 du/ac is also vacant and has an underlying residential zoning, 40 RHNA affordable units can be assumed. If the site has either an existing house or underlying commercial zoning, the RHNA affordable unit capacity would be reduced by 25% to 30 units. If both of those scenarios applied to the site, the RHNA affordable unit capacity for the site would be reduced by 50% to 20 units. 1 https://www.hcd.ca.gov/sites/default/files/docs/grants-and-funding/income-limits-2025.pdf 66 STAFF REPORT

Renewed Guidance from HCD
After certification of the Housing Element and Martinez v. City of Clovis, HCD further analyzed whether an AHO could still be used in specific cases to satisfy RHNA affordable units. The City has received direction from our Housing Element consultants, through discussions with HCD, that the AHO can still apply to commercially zoned sites but cannot be applied to residentially zoned sites for the purpose of meeting the lower-income RHNA rezone obligation. This would mean that while the AHO may still apply to an existing AHO site, at least one of the 25% reductions will automatically apply (underlying commercial zoning), and both would apply for non-vacant AHO sites. Additionally, state law requires the City to meet at least 50% of the lower-income RHNA on sites zoned exclusively residential.

Therefore, the City must accommodate at least 220 units on exclusively residential sites and can only accommodate less than half of the RHNA on commercially zoned sites with the AHO applied. With this new guidance in mind, Staff has analyzed all the existing and candidate AHO sites listed in the Housing Element along with direction received from the City Council during the Housing Element approval process and June 10, 2025 Work Session and determined which sites identified in the Housing Element would be eligible for the AHO and which would be eligible for rezoning to M-30 District.

HOUSING ELEMENT IMPLEMENTATION WORK SESSION WITH CITY COUNCIL On June 10, 2025, Staff held a public work session with the City Council to discuss methods of implementation and receive direction related to Policy Action 1.1 of the Housing Element which requires “Rezone of Adequate Sites to Meet Remaining RHNA (Regional Housing Needs Allocation) Need.” During that work session, the City Council discussed paths to RHNA compliance and landed on an approach where the City would pursue a new General Plan Designation to accommodate a new Zoning District that would meet the criteria of HCD. In addition to that, several commercially designated sites were selected to become candidates for the AHO District.

At the conclusion of the work session, Staff received consensus direction to pursue the Rezoning or AHO on all seven of the “existing AHO” sites identified in the Housing Element, on four of the seven “candidate AHO” sites identified in the Housing Element, and on five additional sites identified by the City Council.

PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
On September 2, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the proposed project. The project was presented to the Planning Commission as recommended to be pursued by the City Council during their June 10, 2025 Work Session. After receiving the Staff Report, asking questions of Staff, and receiving 67 STAFF REPORT

public comments, the Planning Commission deliberated on the project and unanimously voted (5-0) adoption Planning Commission Resolution No. 11-25 recommending the City Council approve the project, as proposed (Attachment 3 to this Staff Report).

SUMMARY OF SITES
This subsection provides a summary of each site or grouping of sites, recommended to be rezoned to M-30 District or receive the AHO District, per the Planning Commission’s recommendation, which is consistent with the direction provided by the City Council during the June 10, 2025 Work Session. The sites are categorized by the specific method of accommodating RHNA proposed for each site (Rezone or AHO) and include the underlying General Plan Designation and the number of Lower-Income RHNA Unit Capacity that each site will accommodate. Missing numbers in the sequence of site numbers is due to sites not being pursued for either method of additional RHNA capacity. This includes Site 8, 9 and 10, which are identified as Candidate AHO sites in the Housing Element.

M-30 District Rezone Method
All the sites chosen to accommodate lower-income RHNA capacity through the Rezone method must also have their General Plan Land Use Designations amended to Residential Multiple Family (RMF), a General Plan Designation that has been created and proposed as a part of this exercise to accommodate the allowable base density of 20-30 dwelling units per acre.

Based on guidance from HCD, the AHO method can only be used on sites with an underlying Commercial zoning (and by extension a Commercial General Plan Land Use Designation), and it can only be applied to accommodate for no more than half of the Lower-Income RHNA target units (220 units). All the sites listed below, other than Site 11, are currently designated with underlying commercial land use and can receive the AHO without any additional General Plan Amendments or Rezonings.

Site 11, as noted below, will require a General Plan Amendment and Rezoning (part of this project) to apply the AHO District.

Required Entitlements
This section details the entitlements and actions that the City Council must act upon to implement Policy Action 1.1 of the Housing Element, as proposed.

GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS
One component of completing Policy Action 1.1 of the Housing Element requires the City Council to approve amendments to the General Plan in three ways as described below.
• Approval of amendments to the Oakley General Plan Land Use Element creating a new Land Use Designation (Residential Multiple Family (RMF)) essential for Rezoning of sites to meet the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) of the Housing Element.

This is proposed by adding a new Land Use Designation to the Land Use Element of the General Plan. The Land Use Designation is proposed to be titled, “Residential Multiple Family (RMF)”. This new designation would be added to Table 2-1 (General Plan Land Use Designation and Acreages), Table 2-2 (Build Out Potential), Table 2- 3 (Land Use Designations), Table 2-4 (General Plan/Zoning Compatibility Matrix), and Figure 2-2 (Land Use Map). Table 2-3 (Land Use Designations) will include the new designation’s description and density range as follows:
70 STAFF REPORT
C 8 ITY HALL | 3231 Main Street, Oakley, CA 94561
O (925) 625-7000 | F (925) 625-9859 | www.oakleyca.gov
“The Residential Multiple Family (RMF) designation provides for higher density residential development. Appropriate primary land uses include multiple-family residences (such as condominiums, town houses, and apartments). Public and semi-public uses and similar compatible uses are also allowed. 20 to 30 dwelling units per acre.”
Other related amendments will occur in conjunction with the addition of the new designation. Table 2-1 will be updated by modifying the acreages, and Table 2-2 will be updated by modifying the acreages, dwelling units, population and employees.

Modifications to both tables is required due to the addition of a new designation replacing existing designations on the subject parcels. There is currently a typo in the General Plan where Table 2-3 is labeled as a second Table 2-2. This will be cleaned up. Table 2-4 will be amended so the AHO District will no longer be compatible with residential designations and instead will be made compatible with the Commercial (CO) and Commercial Downtown (CD) designations. The new RMF designation and associated M-30 District (zoning) will be added to Table 2-4 and made compatible with each other.
• Approval of amendments to the General Plan Land Use Designation on seven residentially designated parcels from Residential High (RH) and Residential Medium (RM) to Residential Multiple Family (RMF) (APNs 033-012-007, 033- 012-008, 033-012-009, 033-012-012, 033-180-007, 033-180-015, 035-282- 054).

This action will amend the land use designation to RMF on the parcels/sites proposed to be rezoned to M-30 District. This is required, along with creation of the designation, to provide a base land use designation to which the M-30 District can be found compatible. Due to the density required for the M-30 District, none of the existing residential designations would be found to be consistent. • Approval of an amendment to the General Plan Land Use Designation on a portion of one parcel from Residential High (RH) to Commercial (CO) (APN 053-071-046).

Site 11, located at 3300 Empire Avenue, currently has a split land use designation.

A majority of the site is designated RH with a small piece of the corner at the intersection of Empire Avenue and Neroly Road designated CO. This amendment would designate the entire site as CO, preparing the site to be zoned to a commercial district to receive the AHO.

REZONINGS
To complete the Rezone portion of Policy Action 1.1 of the Housing Element, the City Council will need to adopt a new zoning district (M-30) through a zoning text 71 STAFF REPORT
C 9 ITY HALL | 3231 Main Street, Oakley, CA 94561
O (925) 625-7000 | F (925) 625-9859 | www.oakleyca.gov
amendment, rezone seven parcels to the new zoning district, and rezone nine parcels by adding the AHO on top of their respective existing zoning districts, and rezone one parcel to C (General Commercial) District. Descriptions of the four actions and how they will be achieved are described below. • Approval of a Zoning Text Amendment to amend Section 9.1.406 (Multiple Family Residential Districts) of the Oakley Municipal Code by adding text related to the proposed M-30 (Multiple Family Residential) District.

Text for a new zoning district, M-30 (Multiple Family Residential) District, has been drafted for adoption through an amendment to Oakley Municipal Code (OMC) Section 9.1.406 (Multiple Family Residential Districts). The contents of this ordinance create an M-30 District that meets the criteria established by HCD to accommodate development of lower-income RHNA units, including the addition of objective standards that must be implemented.
• Approval of a Rezone to seven parcels from M-9 and M-12 (Multiple Family Residential) District to M-30 District (APNs 033-012-007, 033-012-008, 033- 012-009, 033-012-012, 033-180-007, 033-180-015, 035-282-054).

This action would rezone the applicable zoning district on the seven identified parcels from their existing M-9 or M-12 District to the newly created M-30 District.

The action is required to create a substantial number of acres and lower-income RHNA unit capacity available to meet at least half of the City’s total obligation of 440 units.
• Approval of a Rezone to one parcel from P-1 (Planned Unit Development) District to C (General Commercial) District (APN 053-071-046).

This action would rezone Site 11 from P-1 District to C District to allow application of the AHO District to be placed over the base zoning.
• Approval of a Rezone to nine commercially designated and zoned parcels through application of the AHO (Affordable Housing Overlay) District over their underlying zoning districts (APNs 035-172-004, 035-173-008, 035-182-015, 035-281-007, 035-282-058, 035-282-062, 053-071-041, 053-071-042, 053- 071-046).

This action is required to create a substantial number of remaining acres in addition to those created by the Rezone to M-30 District to accommodate the remaining lower-income RHNA unit capacity based on HCD guidance and capacity formulas.

Unlike the M-30 District, the AHO is an overlay only, meaning development of any site with the AHO may choose whether to use the AHO or not. In other words, a site 72 STAFF REPORT

that is designated and zoned commercial and that has the AHO, may result in development of a commercial project per the underlying designation and zoning, or result in a housing project per the development standards and density allowances provided in the AHO. Mixed use developments at the density allowed by the AHO District are also an option.

Analysis

HOUSING ELEMENT COMPLIANCE
The Housing Element RHNA requires planning for at least 440 lower-income units.

Assuming all the above recommendations are adopted, the City will have planned for 457 lower-income units which would result in a buffer of at least 17 units (lowerincome units, such as accessory dwelling units, built since certification of the Housing Element have not been factored). This would not only complete the City’s requirement to plan for the minimum number of lower-income units but result in a buffer of units. The buffer would potentially ease the burden should any of the identified sites be developed in a manner resulting in less than the assumed lowerincome RHNA capacity for the given site. Should the City end up in a position where less than the required number of lower-income unit capacity remains and that deficit of units has not been built, the City would have 180 days to find new sites to make up the difference, including the adoption of any entitlements such as GPAs or RZs.

This is the “no-net-loss" part of the RHNA requirements.

GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS
When making findings for a General Plan Amendment, the City Council must find that: “the change in Land Use Designation/Amendment to the General Plan will provide for the orderly, well planned and balanced growth within the City.” In the case of the General Plan Amendments related to creation of a new designation, minor amendments to the text to accommodate that new designation and amending the land use designation in a select number of parcels throughout the City, it is found that each action is required to achieve implementation of Policy Action 1.1 of the Housing Element. Implementation of this policy action results in further implementing the Housing Element as a whole, which itself is an adopted element of the General Plan. Adoption of these General Plan Amendments carries out the goals and policies of the General Plan and the Housing Element by bringing the City into compliance with the Housing Element and the applicable lower-income RHNA unit capacity requirements established by HCD.

REZONINGS
One of the main required findings of a rezoning entitlement is to find that the result of the rezoning is consistent with the General Plan. Other findings relate to specific 73 STAFF REPORT
CITY HALL | 3231 Main Street, Oakley, CA 94561 11
O (925) 625-7000 | F (925) 625-9859 | www.oakleyca.gov
uses being compatible with surrounding uses and that there is a community need for the change.

Each of the Rezonings is required to implement Policy Action 1.1 of the Housing Element. Creation of the M-30 District is required to establish a base district, per HCD’s guidance, that can accommodate lower-income RHNA units. Rezoning specific sites to M-30 District and applying the AHO to specific sites will result in substantial capacity with a buffer to satisfy the minimum 440 lower-income RHNA units the City is required to plan for per the certified Housing Element. Since the Housing Element is an adopted element of the General Plan, actions taken to implement the Housing Element are found to be consistent with the General Plan.

AFFIRMATIVELY FURTHERING FAIR HOUSING (AFFH)
Assessment of Lower-Income Sites Inventory and Fair Housing The City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element includes Policy Action 1.1, Rezone Adequate Sites to Meet the Remaining RHNA Need, requiring the City to rezone adequate sites to meet the remaining Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) of 440 units.

The City, when selecting and finalizing the list of sites, must also ensure that these sites are distributed more evenly across the City and in more developed, wellestablished, and higher income areas to affirmatively further fair housing.

The following analysis demonstrates that the distribution of lower-income Housing Element sites will not result in an overconcentration of affordable housing or worsen access to opportunity, and effort has been made to include sites in relatively higherincome and moderate resource areas of the City to affirmatively further fair housing.

Distribution of Sites
The City prioritized putting most of the lower-income sites in central Oakley, primarily along Main Street and within the Downtown area, as these areas have the greatest access to essential services including grocery stores, restaurants, jobs, and transit.

To avoid exacerbating existing concentrations of lower-income housing, sites were excluded from northwestern Oakley, where the majority of current affordable housing is already located (nine subsidized affordable housing developments totaling 609 units). Lower-income sites were also not designated in the northern portions of the City or within the East Cypress Corridor Specific Plan area due to limited transit connectivity and infrastructure availability issues. Overall, the distribution of lowerincome sites throughout the City ensures continued access to essential services and transportation and prevents the creation of additional affordable housing concentrations.

Median Household Income
Figure 1 shows lower-income sites and existing affordable housing assets in relation to median household income. Overall, lower-income sites are well-distributed across census tracts, spanning areas with varying median household income levels. Sites are placed in lower ($55,000 to $90,000), medium ($90,000 to $120,000), and highest income levels (greater than $175,000). This geographic distribution promotes economic integration and creates affordable housing opportunities throughout the City.

Access to Opportunity
Figure 2 shows lower-income sites and existing affordable housing developments in relation to the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC) and HCD opportunity maps. Most of the City is designated as low resource. Census tracts in the northwest and southwest areas of Oakley are designated as moderate resource, 75 STAFF REPORT

correlating with areas of higher median household incomes shown in Figure 1.

While there are some areas of the City that are designated as moderate resource, residents of all income levels and backgrounds access the same resources and amenities due to Oakley’s size and location. These resources, which include services and transit, are centrally located along Main Street and in the Downtown.

For this reason, most of the lower-income sites are also located along Main Street and in Downtown. Three sites (Sites 11, 16 and 17) are located in a moderate resource area, helping to avoid a concentration of sites within the low resource areas. In conclusion, the distribution of lower-income Housing Element sites will not worsen access to opportunity and effort has been made to include sites in moderate resource areas.

California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”)
Adoption of the proposed resolution recommending the City Council approve the General Plan Amendments (GPA 2025-004) and Rezoning (RZ 2025-004) is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Public Resources Code §21080.085. That section provides that CEQA does not apply to an action that implements the schedule of actions in an approved Housing Element pursuant to Government Code §65583(c). The proposed General Plan Amendment and Rezone would implement Housing Element Policy Action 1.1 of the City’s 2023 – 2031 Housing Element, and none of the statutory exclusions apply (the actions do not allow distribution centers or oil and gas infrastructure, and any natural and protected lands as defined in PRC §21067.5 are excluded from the actions).

Accordingly, no further environmental review is required for the actions, and subsequent development under the affected parcels will undergo CEQA review, as applicable.

Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
Implementation of Policy Action 1.1 of the Housing Element related to satisfying RHNA is consistent with the City of Oakley Strategic Plan 2022-2027+ (SP27+). Under the Community and Economic Development Goal, it is consistent with the Strategic and Thoughtful Growth Objective which states “Provide affordable housing sites that meet our legislative Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).” Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with this work session. Staff time and materials to prepare this report are covered by the General Fund.

Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the proposed resolution approving General Plan Amendment (GPA 2025-004) and introduce the proposed ordinance approving Rezoning (RZ 2025-004), resulting in completing implementation of Policy Action 1.1 (Rezone Adequate Sites to Meet RHNA Need) of the Housing Element, and finding the action exempt from CEQA.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OAKLEY APPROVING A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT (GPA 2025-004) REQUIRED FOR
IMPLEMENTATION OF POLICY ACTION 1.1 (REZONE ADEQUATE SITES TO MEET

RHNA NEED) OF THE HOUSING ELEMENT, AND FINDING THE ACTION EXEMPT

FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
WHEREAS, this is a City-initiated application requesting approval of a General Plan Amendment (GPA 2025-004) and Rezoning (RZ 2025-004) application to implement Policy Action 1.1 of the City of Oakley Housing Element 2023-2031 (Housing Element).

The proposed project consists of the following requests:
 Approval of amendments to the Oakley General Plan Land Use Element creating a new Land Use Designation (Residential Multiple Family (RMF)) essential for Rezoning of sites to meet the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) of the Housing Element.
 Approval of amendments to the General Plan Land Use Designation on seven residentially designated parcels from Residential High (RH) and Residential Medium (RM) to Residential Multiple Family (RMF) (APNs 033-012-007, 033- 012-008, 033-012-009, 033-012-012, 033-180-007, 033-180-015, 035-282- 054).

84 Resolution No. XX-25 Page 2 of 4
The General Plan Amendment and Rezoning serve to further the City’s compliance with its adopted Housing Element and applicable fair housing regulations (“Project”); and WHEREAS, on September 2, 2025, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the proposed General Plan Amendment (GPA 2025-004) and Rezone (RZ 2025-004), received the staff report and staff presentation, received comments from the public and interested parties, and deliberated on the project. At the conclusion of its deliberations, the Planning Commission held a vote and adopted Planning Commission Resolution No. 11-25 recommending the City Council approve the project, as revised by the Planning Commission during its deliberations; and WHEREAS, on or before October 3, 2025, the Notice of Public Hearing for the Project was duly noticed in the East Bay Times, a newspaper of general distribution; was posted at Oakley City Hall located at 3231 Main Street, outside the gym at Delta Vista Middle School located at 4901 Frank Hengel Way, and outside the library at Freedom High School located at 1050 Neroly Road; and was mailed out to outside agencies, to parties requesting such notice, and to all owners of property within 500 feet of the boundaries of all of the parcels subject to the requested actions; and WHEREAS, on October 14, 2025, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the proposed General Plan Amendment (GPA 2025-004) and Rezone (RZ 2025-004), received the staff report and staff presentation, received comments from the public and interested parties, and discussed the matter. At the conclusion of its deliberations, the City Council held a vote and adopted a resolution approving GPA 2025- 004; and
WHEREAS, if any term, provision, or portion of these Findings or the application of these Findings to a particular situation is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of these Findings, or their application to other actions related to the Project, shall continue in full force and effect unless amended or modified by the City.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT, on the basis of the above findings of fact and the entire Record, the City Council makes the following additional findings in support of the approvals:

A. On May 9, 2023 the City Council adopted the 6th Cycle Housing Element of the General Plan for the period of 2023-2031 in compliance with State Housing Element law.

B. On May 24, 2023 the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) certified the City of Oakley’s 6th Cycle Housing Element for the period of 2023-2031 in compliance with State Housing Element law. 85 Resolution No. XX-25 Page 3 of 4
C. The Objective of Policy Action 1.1 of the Housing Element aims to rezone adequate sites to meet the City’s lower-income RHNA need and to facilitate the development of more housing choices for lower-income households.

Adopting the proposed General Plan Amendment would implement Policy Action

1.1 of the City of Oakley Housing Element.

D. The City Council finds the proposed General Plan Amendment (GPA 2025-004) is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to SB 131 SEC. 6. Section 21080.085 does not apply to actions that implement the schedule of actions contained in an approved housing element pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 65583 of the Government Code. That section provides that CEQA does not apply to an action that implements the schedule of actions in an approved Housing Element pursuant to Government Code §65583(c). The proposed General Plan Amendment and Rezone would implement Housing Element Policy Action 1.1 of the City’s 2023 – 2031 Housing Element, and none of the statutory exclusions apply (the actions do not allow distribution centers or oil and gas infrastructure, and any natural and protected lands as defined in PRC §21067.5 are excluded from the actions). Accordingly, no further environmental review is required for the actions, and subsequent development under the affected parcels will undergo CEQA review, as applicable.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT, on the basis of the above Findings and the Record, the City Council hereby adopts the proposed resolution approving the General Plan Amendment (GPA 2025-004) subject to the following actions:
1) Approval of amendments to the Oakley General Plan Land Use Element creating a new Land Use Designation (Residential Multiple Family (RMF)) essential for Rezoning of sites to meet the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) of the Housing Element. Amendments shall be as follows:
a) Cleanup by renumbering “Table 2-2 (Land Use Designations)” to “Table 2-3 (Land Use Designations)”;
b) Adding “Residential Multiple Family (RMF)” to Table 2-3 (as renumbered) after “Residential High (RH)” with the following description and density range:
“The Residential Multiple Family (RMF) designation provides for higher density residential development. Appropriate primary land uses include multiple-family residences (such as condominiums, town houses, and apartments). Public and semi-public uses and similar compatible uses are also allowed. 20 to 30 dwelling units per acre.”;
c) Adding the RMF designation to Tables 2-1 and 2-2 and adjusting the data in the table accordingly;
86 Resolution No. XX-25 Page 4 of 4
d) Amending Table 2-4 resulting in the compatibility for the AHO to no longer be compatible with residential designations and instead add Commercial (CO) and Commercial Downtown (CD) as the compatible designations, and the new designation and associated M-30 District (zoning) will be added and made compatible with each other.
2) Approval of amendments to the General Plan Land Use Designation on seven residentially designated parcels from Residential High (RH) and Residential Medium (RM) to Residential Multiple Family (RMF) (APNs 033-012-007, 033-012-008, 033- 012-009, 033-012-012, 033-180-007, 033-180-015, 035-282-054), as depicted in Exhibit “A” of this resolution.
3) Approval of an amendment to the General Plan Land Use Designation on a portion of one parcel from Residential High (RH) to Commercial (CO) (APN 053-071-046), as depicted in Exhibit “B” of this resolution.

WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of the Ordinance have occurred.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OAKLEY, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The recitals above are true and correct and are hereby adopted as findings as if fully set forth herein.

SECTION 2. Additional Findings.
95 Ordinance No. XX-25 Page 3 of 8
A. On May 9, 2023 the City Council adopted the 6th Cycle Housing Element of the General Plan for the period of 2023-2031 in compliance with State Housing Element law.

B. On May 24, 2023 HCD certified the City of Oakley’s 6th Cycle Housing Element for the period of 2023-2031 in compliance with State Housing Element law.

C. The Objective of Policy Action 1.1 of the Housing Element aims to rezone adequate sites to meet the City’s lower-income RHNA need and to facilitate the development of more housing choices for lower-income households.

Adopting the proposed Rezoning would implement Policy Action 1.1 of the City of Oakley Housing Element.

D. The City Council finds the proposed ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to SB 131 SEC. 6. Section 21080.085 does not apply to actions that implement the schedule of actions contained in an approved housing element pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 65583 of the Government Code. That section provides that CEQA does not apply to an action that implements the schedule of actions in an approved Housing Element pursuant to Government Code §65583(c). The proposed General Plan Amendment and Rezone would implement Housing Element Policy Action 1.1 of the City’s 2023 – 2031 Housing Element, and none of the statutory exclusions apply (the actions do not allow distribution centers or oil and gas infrastructure, and any natural and protected lands as defined in PRC §21067.5 are excluded from the actions).

Accordingly, no further environmental review is required for the actions, and subsequent development under the affected parcels will undergo CEQA review, as applicable.

SECTION 7. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

The proposed ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to SB 131 SEC. 6. Section 21080.085 does not apply to actions that implement the schedule of actions contained in an approved housing element pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 65583 of the Government Code. That section provides that CEQA does not apply to an action that implements the schedule of actions in an approved Housing Element pursuant to Government Code §65583(c). The proposed General Plan Amendment and Rezone would implement Housing Element Policy Action 1.1 of the City’s 2023 – 2031 Housing Element, and none of the statutory exclusions apply (the actions do not allow distribution centers or oil and gas infrastructure, and any natural and protected lands as defined in PRC §21067.5 are excluded from the actions). Accordingly, no further environmental review is required for the actions, and subsequent development under the affected parcels will undergo CEQA review, as applicable.

SECTION 8. Effective Date and Posting.

This ordinance shall take effect and be in force thirty (30) days from and after the date of its passage. The City Clerk shall cause the ordinance to be published within fifteen (15) days after its passage in a newspaper of general circulation, or by publishing a summary of the proposed ordinance, posting a certified copy of the proposed ordinance in the City Clerk’s Office at least five (5) days prior to the City Council meeting at which the ordinance is to be adopted, and within fifteen (15) days after its adoption, publishing a summary of the ordinance with the names of the Council Members voting for and against the ordinance.

O (925) 625-7000 | F (925) 625-9859 | www.ci.oakley.ca.us DATE: October 14, 2025
TO: City Council
FROM: Joshua McMurray, City Manager
SUBJECT: Strategic Plan 27+ Update
Background and Analysis
Since its incorporation, the City of Oakley has developed and operated under the direction of a Strategic Plan. A Strategic Plan guides governing bodies in making complex decisions, such as resource allocation, and sets the organization’s priorities and a path forward. It does this through a clear and compelling mission and vision and thoughtful, community-oriented values, goals, and objectives. Strategic Plans are a best practice in municipal organizations as they allow leadership to take a step back from day-to-day challenges and look at the big picture.

The City Council adopted the current Strategic Plan 27+ in April of 2022 and Staff has been working since that time to implement the goals and objectives of the plan. With the plan encompassing a five-year period, some of the objectives have been completed while others are in various stages of work and there are some that we have not started to work on. The Council received updates in November 2022, May 2023, March 2024,October 2024, and May 2025 on the Strategic Plan. Since the May 2025 update, Staff has started one goal/objective that was previously identified as future/not yet begun, and completed one that were previously in process. While not complete, Staff has continued to make significant progress since May 2025 in the Community Health and Safety goal related to the City’s Emergency Management Program and East Cypress Corridor Specific Plan Area.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with this update to the City Council.

Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the Strategic Plan 27+ Update.
