BACKGROUND
On May 12, 2022 , the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC-2022-020 approving Minor Site Plan Review (MSPR) 22 -002 for the development of the 48-unit affordable housing project and recommending City Council approval of a form of AGR 22-002 for the associated Density Bonus Agreement. On May 17, 2022, the Director of Economic and Community Development approved MSPR 22-002, which established an expiration date of May 18, 2023. On May 18, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. CC 2022-059, approving a form of Agreement (AGR) 22-002 (A-7912). On May 18, 2023, MSPR 22-002 expired, requiring submittal of a new application. Subsequently, the Director of Economic and Community Development approved MSPR 25 -0005 on September 17, 2025, which established an expiration date of September 17, 2028. On March 30, 2026, an application was filed with the City to amend the previously approved Agreement (AGR) 22-002 (A-7912).

DISCUSSION
The application proposes to amend the Density Bonus Agreement to add one concession, as set forth in Exhibit E of Resolution No. CC 2026-028 for the approved affordable housing project pursuant to Density Bonus Law (Government Code Section 65915) and Palmdale Municipal Code (PMC) Section 17.25.020.I.
The approved project includes 48 dwelling units with 100 percent of the units designated for households with incomes not exceeding the low-income threshold established by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). In accordance with the State Density Bonus Law , the applicant can request an unlimited number of waivers of development standards that would preclude the development and a maximum of three concessions from the City’s development standards to facilitate the provision of affordable housing.
A density bonus is a request to increase the overall number of housing units that a developer may build on a site in exchange for providing affordable housing. State Density Bonus Law, pursuant to Section 65915 et seq of the California Government Code, offers incentives that are intended to encourage the development of affordable housing.
A Minor Site Plan Review and Density Bonus Agreement were required to allow the proposed development. The project was reviewed for consistency with applicable design standards and policies related to density, site planning, circulation, landscaping, and building form and related standards. At the time of approval, the applicant did not request incentives or concessions, but did request the use of the density bonus parking ratio.
The proposed amendment to the previously approved Density Bonus Agreement includes a request for one concession as follows:
A concession to the Palmdale Transit Area Specific Plan (PTASP) Figure 5.4. (Development Standards Table), which requires residential ground-floor heights of at least 18 feet and typical upper -floor heights of at least 10 feet in the Urban Center (T5) zone. Instead, the ground-floor height will be 12 feet, and the upper - floor heights will be 9.5 feet.
The requested concession reduces development costs by eliminating the need for manlifts during construction, which would be required if the building height exceeds 60 feet, and would cost approximately $1.7 million. The additional cost would create a hardship for the project and would make the affordable housing project infeasible.
Report to Mayor and City Council
Adopt Reso. No. CC 2026-028
June 2, 2026
This requested concession is intended to facilitate the construction of high -quality, affordable housing while accommodating the construction costs and design needs. The project complies with all other applicable zoning regulations and supports the City’s goals for housing production and affordability.
Staff has determined that granting the additional concession listed above will result in actual and identifiable cost reductions to provide affordable housing. In addition, the proposed project will help meet the City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation.
FISCAL IMPACT
$4,013.89; The applicant paid the application processing fee specified within the City’s fee resolution (Resolution No. CC 2026-028), and the project will improve an undeveloped site by providing utilities infrastructure, curb, gutters, sidewalks, and will provide additional housing.
STRATEGIC PLAN
Goal III: Invest in infrastructure to improve community livability.
E. Transform housing inventory to meet the changing lifestyle and market demands.

WHEREAS, All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
PALMDALE DOES HEREBY FIND , DETERMINE, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct.
SECTION 2. The City Council hereby finds as follows with respect to the documents prepared for the project:
A The custodian of records for all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings upon which the City Council’s decision is based, is the Planning Manager of the City of Palmdale. These documents are available for public review in the Planning Division of the City of Palmdale located at 38250 Sierra Highway, Palmdale, California 93550, telephone (661) 267 - 5200.
SECTION 3. Based upon substantial evidence presented to the City Council during the above -referenced June 2, 2026, public hearing, including public testimony, and written and oral staff report s, the City Council specifically finds pursuant to PMC Sections 17.25.020.G and 17.25.020.I. as follows:
A The proposed density bonus agreement is consistent with the maps and policies of the General Plan and any applicable Specific Plan.
The proposed Density Bonus Agreement, as amended, is consistent with the Specific Plan - Palmdale Transit Area General Plan land use designation and the Urban Center (T5) zone of the Palmdale Transit Area Specific Plan (PTASP), as demonstrated in Exhibits C and D, which allow for high -density residential development on the project site. The project meets applicable land use, density, and development standards and no General Plan amendments or zone changes are required. Additionally, the Resolution No. CC 2026-028
project supports the City’s goals for increasing affordable housing and promoting compact, infill development in areas served by existing infrastructure and transit, further aligning with General Plan and PTASP objectives. As demonstrated in Exhibit D, the proposed project meets the density, lot size, height, and setback requirements of the T5 zone, and the site is therefore suitable for the type and density of the proposed development.
B The proposed density bonus agreement complies with the requirements of California Government Code Section 65915 et seq.
The proposed amended Density Bonus Agreement complies with the requirements of California Government Code Section 65915 et seq (Density Bonus Law) by providing th e required percentage of affordable housing units in exchange for density bonuses and development incentives. The project includes deed -restricted affordable units for lower- income households, consistent with state -mandated eligibility thresholds.
In accordance with Density Bonus Law, the Applicant has requested an amendment to allow for one concession, and the City has verified that the additional request meets the statutory criteria. As such, the amended agreement fully aligns with the provisions and intent of Density Bonus Law.
Pursuant to PMC Section 17.25.020, approval of the amended density bonus agreement is required to allow the proposed development. The project has been reviewed for consistency with applicable design standards and policies related to density, site planning, circulation, landscaping, and building form.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65915(p), the project is required to provide no more than 24 residential parking spaces, and the project complies with this requirement. Pursuant to Section 65915(p)(8) of the Government Code, Applicant’s request for reduced parking ratios does not reduce the number of concessions to which Applicant is entitled and does not constitute a waiver under Section 65915(e).
The proposed amendment to the Density Bonus Agreement includes a request for one concession pursuant to the Density Bonus Law and PMC Section 17.25.020 as follows and as set forth in Exhibit E:
1 A concession to the PTASP Figure 5.4. (Development Standards Table), which requires residential ground-floor heights of at least 18 feet and typical upper-floor heights of at least 10 feet in the T5 zone.
Instead, the ground -floor height will be 12 feet, and the upper -floor heights will be 9.5 feet.
Resolution No. CC 2026-028
The Applicant proposes reducing the ground-floor height to 12 feet, and the upper-floor heights to 9.5 feet based on the justification that manlifts would be required during construction due to the building’s overall height exceeding 60 feet, which would increase the cost of construction beyond the funds available for the development by nearly $1.7 million. The Applicant has demonstrated that compliance with the minimum ground and upper floor height requirements would result in increased construction costs and that the requested concession will provide identifiable and actu al cost reductions necessary to facilitate the development of the affordable units.
This requested concession is intended to facilitate the construction of high- quality affordable housing while accommodating the construction costs and design needs. The p roject complies with all other applicable zoning regulations and supports the City’s goals for housing production and affordability.
Staff has determined that granting the additional concession listed above will result in actual and identifiable cost redu ctions to provide affordable housing. In addition, the proposed project will contribute to satisfying the City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation.
SECTION 4. The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a ministerial project pursuant to Government Code Section 15268, as it consists of an amendment to an approved Density Bonus Agreement to grant a concession to facilitate the development of a previously approved 100-percent affordable multifamily residential development. The amendment does not introduce new environmental impacts beyond those previously analyzed.
SECTION 5. Based on the findings and conclusions set forth in Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4 above, the City Council approves MOD 26-0009, an amendment to a previously approved Density Bonus Agreement, AGR 22-002 (A-7912) as set forth in Exhibits A through E, and authorize s the City Manager or his designee to exercise the option to amend the agreement as necessary.
SECTION 6. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 2nd day of June, 2026.

DENSITY BONUS HOUSING AGREEMENT
(Bana At Palmdale Apartments)
(A-7912)
THIS DENSITY BONUS HOUSING AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) dated as of __________________, 2026, is entered into by and between the City of Palmdale, a municipal corporation of the State of California (“City”), and 9th Street E. Housing, LP, a California limited partnership, located at 313 E. Broadway #10777, Glendale, CA 91209 and/or its assigns (“Owner”), as follows:
RECITALS
A. Owner is the owner of a fee interest in certain real property located in the City of Palmdale, County of Los Angeles, State of California, identified as APN 3008-040- 012, located at 38732 9 th Street E., Palmdale, CA and legally described in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated by reference (“Property”).
B. Owner will construct a 48-unit affordable housing development, with three residential building s, included amenities , and retail units (collectively, the “Residential Development”). The Residential Development provides for units of varying types, two - and three -bedroom flats. The Residential Development will provide 50 parking stalls onsite.
Density Bonus Housing Agreement Agreement No. A-7912
Bana at Palmdale Apartments Page 2
APN: 3008-040-012
C. The residential portion of the Residential Development will consist of 48 residential units for very low-income and low -income individuals and families . One hundred percent (100%) of the units , with the exception of the manager’s unit , will be available to and occupied by households whose incomes do not exceed the maximum income of low income households in Los Angeles County as determined by the California Department of Housing and Community Development.
D. Under Government Code Sectio n 65915, et seq. and Palmdale Municipal Code, Section 17.25.110, the City must, upon the request of an applicant, grant a density bonus and/or certain incentives/concessions or waivers/modifications for any development applicant that seeks and agrees to construct a minimum number of housing units that are affordable to low or very low-income households (“Density Bonus Law”).
E. The subject site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of SP (Palmdale Transit Area Specific Plan) and T-5 (Urban Center) zone, with a density of 30-50 dwelling units per acre . The Property is 1.02 acres allowing 48 units to be developed on the Property. The Residential Development does not require a density bonus. Density Bonus Law requires that because 100% of the resident units in the Residential Development will be affordable to “lower -income households” per section 50079.5 of the California Health and Safety Code, Government Code section 65915(d)(2)(D) entitles the Residential Development to four incentives or concessions. Density Bonus Law requires the City to grant to the Residential Development parking ratios that do not exceed 1 space per studio or one-bedroom unit, 1.5 spaces per two -bedroom or three- bedroom unit, or 2.5 spaces per four -bedroom unit. Therefore, Density Bonus Law requires the City to permit the Residential Developmen t’s proposed parking ratio of 1.5 spaces per unit for the two- and three-bedroom flats.
F. The subject site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of SP (Palmdale Transit Area Specific Plan) and T5 (Urban Center) zone, with a ground floor height of 18 feet and a typical upper floor at 10 feet. Density Bonus Law allows the City to provide a concession to allow the Residential Development’s proposed ground level garage height of 12 feet with a typical upper floor height of 9.5 feet.
G. City and Owner enter into t his Agreement purs uant to and in accordance with Government Code Section 65915, et seq., and Section 17.25.110 of the Palmdale Municipal Code, in order to provide housing for lower-income households.
H. The City finds that permitting the parking ratio under Section E, above, will result in actual and identifiable cost reductions to provide for affordable housing cost, will not have an adverse impact upon public health and safety , the physical environment, or Density Bonus Housing Agreement Agreement No. A-7912

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT
DISTRICT: ALL
SUBJECT: RECEIVE AND FILE THE FISCAL YEAR 2026 -27 ANNUAL
EMPLOYEE VACANCY REPORT, IN ACCORDANCE WITH
ASSEMBLY BILL 2561
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend that the City Council:
A. Hold a public hearing to accept public testimony; and,
B. Receive and file the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 Annual Employee Vacancy Report, in accordance with Assembly Bill 2561.
BACKGROUND
On September 22, 2024, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill 2561 (AB 2561) into law, which became effective on January 1, 2025. AB 2561 requires public agencies to address the status of vacancies. The California Legislature recognized that vacancies in the public sector pose challenges that can and negatively impact the delivery of public services.
DISCUSSION
AB 2561 requires the City to present the status of vacancies, recruitment efforts, and retention efforts at a public hearing held at least once each fiscal year prior to adoption of the final budget. Specifically, the statute requires public agencies to:
Report job vacancies, recruitment, and retention efforts; Identify policies or practices that may lead to obstacles or negatively impact the hiring process;
Provide recognized bargaining units an opportunity to participate in the public hearing; and,
If the number of job vacancie s within a single bargaining unit meets or exceeds 20% of the total number of authorized full-time positions in a particular bargaining unit, provide additional data upon request of the recognized employee organization, including the total number of job va cancies within a bargaining unit, Report to Mayor and City Council

Two (2) new positions were requested as part of the FY 2025- 26 mid-year budget adjustment process and approved at the March 3, 2026, City Council Meeting, bringing the total of authorized full -time budgeted positions to 320. Out of the 320 budgeted positions, 101 are represented by the Teamsters Union Local 986 bargaining unit. As of May 12, 2026, the City of Palmdale has 28 vacant positions. Of these 28 positions, 8 are represented by the bargaining unit. This resulted in the following:
Overall vacancy rate is 8.75%; and,
a bargaining unit vacancy rate of 7.92%.
Because the Teamsters Local 986 bargaining unit vacancy rate does not meet or exceed 20% of the total authorized full-time positions, the additional reporting provisions outlined in Government Code section 3502.3(c) are not triggered. Vacancies within the bargaining unit are attributable to retirements, resignations, terminations, and lateral transfers.
Recruitment Activity
3 positions have been filled; 2 are bargaining unit positions. 1 position onboarding.
9 positions have closed and are currently in the interview phase; 1 is a bargaining unit position.
3 positions are in active open recruitment; 1 is a bargaining unit position. 11 positions are pending posting; 5 are bargaining unit positions. 1 position will be unfunded in FY 2026-27.
Since July 1, 2025, the City has hired 49 new full -time employees, 15 of whom are bargaining unit employees.

The City continues to pursue economic development initiatives that support local businesses, retain jobs, and generate additional revenue for the City. Local automobile dealerships are a significant component of the City’s sales tax base and contribute to the community’s economic vitality.
To evaluate potential strategies to support and retain the City’s automobile dealership sector, the City Council established an ad -hoc committee consisting of two City Councilmembers appointed by a majority of the City Council. The ad-hoc committee met with staff and discussed the economic conditions affecting the local automotive retail sector, as well as potential strategies to encourage continued investment and business activity in the City. Following these discussions and the review of available options, the ad hoc committee directed staff to draft an economic subsidy agreement with participating automobile dealerships to support local business activity and maintain a strong sales tax base. At the May 5, 2026, City Council meeting, the City Council voted to direct staff to bring forward the draft agreement for discussion and consideration at the June 2, 2026, meeting.

Statement of Public Purpose
The City Council finds that the economic development subsidy serves the following public purposes:
Supporting the retention and stability of existing local businesses; Promoting continued private investment within the City; Maintaining and enhancing the City’s sales tax base;
Supporting employment opportunities for residents; and Strengthening the overall economic vitality of the community.
The subsidy is intended to produce long-term fiscal and economic benefits that outweigh the initial public investment.
Projected Tax Revenue
Based on current estimates, the participating dealerships are expected to generate approximately:
Annual Sales Tax Revenue: $2,750,000
Total Projected Revenue Over Term: $20,175,000
These projections are based on historical sales data, anticipated business activity, and reasonable economic assumptions. Actual revenues may vary due to market conditions and other factors outside the City’s control.
Employment Impact
While Government Code Section 53083 requires disclosure of the estimated number of jobs created, the primary purpose of the proposed economic development subsidy is the retention of existing jobs within the City’s automobile dealership sector. The participating dealerships currently provide a significant number of local employment opportunities, and the subsidy is intended to support ongoing operations, maintain competitiveness, and prevent potential job loss due to market conditions and regional competition.
The proposed loan is primarily intended to support ongoing business operations and retention of existing employment opportunities. The applicant (s) did not provide an estimate of new jobs anticipated to be created.

BACKGROUND
Each year the City is required to adopt a budget for its operation. The budget serves as the City’s financial plan for the Fiscal Year beginning July 1 through June 30. It defines City priorities for the provision of services to the community.
According to the Palmdale Municipal Code: Chapter 3.04 Budget Adoption Procedures, the City Manager shall submit a proposed budget to the City Council no later than May 31 of each year. The proposed budget was brought before the City Council on May 5, 2026. Additionally, the City Council shall conduct a public hearing on the proposed budget before adoption and shall adopt a budget prescribing the spending policy of the City for the ensuing fiscal year on or before the thirtieth day of June of each year.
DISCUSSION
Staff are bringing forth the Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2026-27 for your review and consideration.
The Citywide budget represents all City funds, including the General Fund, Measure AV Fund, Special Revenue, Enterprise, Debt Service, and Capital Funds.
The following table summarizes the proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 Citywide Budget:

Expenditures by Category FY 2027 Proposed
Beginning Balance $ 368,085,028
Revenue/Transfers In 471,313,960
Expenditures/Transfers Out 471,199,820
Surplus/(Deficit) (4,885,860)
Estimated Ending Fund Balance-Before Reserves 363,199,168 Reserve Requirement 59,126,026
Estimated Ending Fund Balance $304,073,141
Revenues
Estimating revenues for the upcoming fiscal year and forecasting out -years is essential to the budget development process. Revenue projections are formed by analyzing prior- year actual receipts, trends, new revenue sources, grant opportunities, service fees, and the State economic outlook. Citywide revenues are estimated to be $471,313,960.
The General Fund is the City’s primary source of unrestricted revenue, with projected resources totaling $128,080,100. These resources are comprised of property tax, sales tax, other local taxes, fees, and charges for services. In November 2024, voters approved Measure PD, which increased the local sales tax rate by ¾ cent. This measure is expected to generate approximately $23.8 million in Fiscal Year 2026-27 and is included in the General Fund. Additionally, Measure AV , a general sales tax, is projected to generate $ 23.8 million in Fiscal Year 202 6-27. While not required, the City reports Measure AV revenue separately from the General Fund to ensure transparency and accountability to the Measure AV Oversight Committee.
Operating Appropriations
The proposed FY 2026-27 operating budget includes $403,521,790 across all City funds.
Of this total, $127,182,550 represents the General Fund operating budget. The proposed budget reflects a balanced and strategic approach to funding City operations and capital projects. It maintains core service levels while addressing key areas such as public safety, infrastructure, maintenance, and community programs. The proposed level of funding ensures the City can continue delivering high -quality services to residents while advancing long -term goals. The supporting schedules provide additional details on appropriations.
Capital Improvement Program
The proposed Capital Improvement Budget totals $305,760,110 and includes previously approved appropriations of $233,082,080 along with proposed additions of $72,678,030.
As capital projects often span multiple years, budgeted amounts may not be fully expended within a single f iscal year. The attached schedules detail all previously approved and proposed capital improvement projects.
