CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – MARCH 19, 2024
SUBJECT: 1. Water Conservation Phase IV Status Update - February 2024 SOURCE: Public Works
COMMENT: The City has continued to implement an active water conservation approach, conserving and providing flexibility to the community. The City transitioned from Phase III to Phase IV of the City's Water Conservation Plan as of October 1, 2023. The Water Conservation Plan applies to all municipal water users within or outside the city limits.

The Phase IV plan reduces outdoor watering to one day per week, with "odd" addresses allowed to water on Saturday and "even" addresses allowed to water on Sunday. Outdoor watering is prohibited between the hours of 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., with no watering allowed on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. Watering outdoor landscaping is prohibited during and within forty-eight (48) hours after measurable rainfall, which is now defined as greater than 0.01 inch.

Violations of prohibited activities are considered infractions and are punishable by fines of up to $500 each day the violation occurs. Any peace officer or employee of a public agency charged with enforcing laws and authorized to do so by ordinance may issue a citation to the violator. The City will respond to enforcement by issuing a Notice of Violation for all witnessed occurrences, and staff will process all reported issues. Enforcement statistics for February 2024 show that six (6) notices of violations were issued for water wasting, and no administrative citations were issued.

Water production for February 2024 reflects a five percent (5%) decrease from the 5-year average. The monthly production for February was 191 million gallons, which is a three percent (3%) decrease compared to February 2013 at 197 million gallons. Residential consumption for February 2024 was 76 gallons per capita per day (GPCD).

Compliance with individual water supplier conservation requirements is based on cumulative savings. Cumulative tracking means that conservation savings will be added together from one month to the next and compared to the amount of water used during the same months in 2013. City Staff will evaluate conservation totals in two formats: 1) Calculate the cumulative conservation totals for production as compared to production in 2013, and 2) Calculate cumulative conservation totals in relation to GPCD in efforts to evaluate population growth impacts on production as compared to 2013. The cumulative total production for the City of Porterville's conservation efforts will be reflected from February 2015 through February 2024. Porterville's cumulative total production conservation through February 2024 is twenty percent (20%).

The cumulative total of GPCD for the City of Porterville's conservation efforts will be reflected from February 2015 through February 2024. Porterville's cumulative total GPCD conservation through January 2024 is twenty-five percent (25%).

Under the February 2, 2016, emergency regulation, the City of Porterville received a revised conservation standard of twenty-eight percent (28%) with an additional two percent (2%) reduction for climate adjustment, making the City’s conservation standard twenty-six percent (26%). After reviewing the Water Board's Self-Certification criteria for drought impacts on water supplies, the City Council approved maintaining a self-imposed standard of twenty-six percent (26%). The continuation of the current conservation goal keeps a standardized message that the City has worked to develop in public outreach, provides resiliency and capacity to ensure three years of supply under drought conditions, and meets the minimum twenty percent (20%) conservation standard defined in the City's Urban Water Management Plan, and assists the City in meeting the requirements of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA).

The State Water Board requires monthly reporting to track what agencies are doing and how they perform throughout the year. Proposed permanent regulations will require agency reporting to continue monitoring urban water conservation performance with a preparedness to implement conservation standards as necessary. California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Executive Order N-10-21 on July 8, 2021, urging all Californians to voluntarily reduce their water use by fifteen percent (15%) compared to their prior-year levels due to excessive drought conditions. Water production for the City system shows a seven (7%) increase from February 2023 to February 2024. California Governor Gavin Newsom issued another Executive Order N-7-22 on March 28, 2022, to address drought conditions after the driest first three months of a year in recorded history. EO N-7-22 requires that each water supplier implements, at a minimum, the shortage response actions adopted under section 10632 of the Water Code for a shortage level of up to twenty percent (20%). The City of Porterville's Water Conservation Plan Phase III meets the requirements for this shortage (Level 2). California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Executive Order N-3-23 on February 13, 2023, stating the state has experienced one of the wettest three-week periods on record. With this order, California Governor Gavin Newsom removed the need to voluntarily reduce water use by fifteen percent (15%), as stated in the previous Executive Order N-10-21.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – MARCH 19, 2024
SUBJECT: 2. New Porterville Rescue Mission Update
SOURCE: Community Development
COMMENT: At its meeting on June 18, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution 43-2019, approving Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 2018-041-C for the New Porterville Rescue Mission (NPRM) to allow for a Social Services Facility located at 30 S.

A Street. As outlined in Resolution 43-2019, Condition #1, and in compliance with Porterville Municipal Code Chapter 21, Section 301.09, “Social Services Facilities shall provide: adequate and accessible sanitary facilities, including lavatories, restrooms and refuse containers; sufficient patron seating facilities for dining; effective screening devices such as landscaping and masonry fences in conjunction with outdoor activity areas.” To meet these requirements, NPRM was to continue to work on site improvements and stay in communication with staff until all items had been completed. CUP 2018-041-C includes a requirement that staff provide a bi-annual update to the Council on the status of the project, which is the purpose of this report.

At its meeting on February 4, 2020, staff presented to Council the bi-annual update as required in the CUP to update the status of improvements. The item was continued as additional information was needed to be provided by NPRM in writing. At its meeting on March 3, 2020, staff provided Council with the proposed Plan of Action that staff considered quite aggressive and reported that a realistic timeline would be three to six months before there would be an issuance of a building permit. At its meeting on July 21, 2020, staff provided an update to Council regarding the progress of the NPRM’s remodel project. NPRM was issued a building permit on July 7, 2020. The scope of the permit includes removing existing staff bedroom walls to open up to the existing open area to accommodate fourteen (14) beds total on the west end of the building, remodel of two restrooms to meet accessibility standards, the installation of two new concrete door landings, one new door landing with stairs and handrails, as well as reversing the swing of an existing door. NPRM had anticipated that this phase of construction would take approximately three to four months to complete.

At its meeting on November 17, 2020, staff provided an update to Council regarding the progress of the NPRM’s remodel project. The Council was informed that the NPRM’s project had experienced delays due to the pandemic as well as encountering structural issues during the demolition process.

At its meeting on January 19, 2021, Council was provided an update on the status of the NPRM project. The update included that the NPRM had been issued a permit for the structural revision to correct the issues encountered during the demolition process on November 25, 2020. Staff met with the NPRM on January 4, 2021, to discuss the progress of the project. The NPRM informed staff that the project timeline has been impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, noting that they received a letter from one of their suppliers informing them that the delivery of their order had been delayed due to the pandemic. A framing inspection was provided by the City's Engineering Department-Building Division on January 5, 2021, and a second framing inspection on January 8, 2021, which NPRM passed.

At its meeting on August 17, 2021, staff provided an update to the Council regarding the progress of the NPRM’s remodel project as well as information in regard to violations of the conditions outlined in Conditional Use Permit 2018- 041-C and Porterville Development Ordinance, which were observed on August 10, 2021. The violations included a recreational vehicle observed onsite that was being occupied as a residence with an electrical extension cord connected to the recreational vehicle. Chapter 304.11 of the Development Ordinance states that “Parking and storing of recreational vehicles, boats, campers, trailers, and similar vehicles are prohibited from being stored for a period longer than seventy-two hours (72) hours in the front yard setback. They may be stored in the side or rear yard behind a minimum six-foot high, solid fence. At no time are recreational vehicles allowed to be occupied as residences. Connection to any combination of electrical, water, cable, or sewer facilities is considered prima facie evidence of occupation as a residence. At no time shall commercial vehicles greater than a one-ton rating be parked or stored on residentially zoned properties. Storage on the street is limited pursuant to Sections 17-10.4, 17- 11.7, 17-11.8, and 17-11.9 of the Porterville Municipal Code.” Tents were also observed to be erected on site outside of the approved season and timeframe outlined in Condition 10 of the CUP. Condition 10 states “The temporary use of tents for overflow of patrons may be permitted during the winter months, provided that the usage and assembling of the tents be opposite of office hours, erecting tents after 7 p.m. and removing them before 7 a.m.” NPRM remedied the violations within seventy-two (72) hours.

At its meeting on October 19, 2021, staff provided an update to the Council regarding the progress of the NPRM’s remodel project. The Council was informed that the NPRM had one inspection since the update provided to the City Council on August 17, 2021, which occurred on September 29, 2021. The inspection was for underground plumbing for the restroom remodel, which passed. During the inspection, the NPRM disclosed that while cutting the existing concrete slab for the restroom remodel, a four-foot section of the exterior footing fell apart. The NPRM was requested to have the footing evaluated by an engineer to provide a design to correct the issue.

The Council was also informed that on September 24, 2021, the Porterville Police Department and Code Enforcement responded to the NPRM for the discharge of dangerous fireworks. The suspect was found to be in possession of additional fireworks and was administratively cited. While onsite Code Enforcement observed conditions of the neighboring property (14 S. A Street), which is also operated by NPRM, that were not in compliance with the 1997 Uniform Housing Code. The conditions observed included the rear yard being utilized as a living space with an outdoor shower built in close proximity to an existing electrical panel. Food and other items have also been allowed to accumulate in the yard along with multiple tarp covered areas that have been erected, creating an attractive nuisance and possible fire hazard. The property owner was notified and required to remedy the conditions by November 1, 2021.

CUP 2018-041-C does not include provisions for the property located at 14 S. A Street. Resolution 43-2019 included NPRM Site and Operations Plan as Attachment A, which outlines that 14 S. A Street provides for six long-term residential beds and two emergency shelter beds for women. City staff inspected the property located at 14 S. A Street on October 12, 2021, and found that the conditions that were out of compliance with the 1997 Uniform Housing Code had been remedied.

At its meeting on February 1, 2022, staff provided an update to the Council regarding the progress of the NPRM’s remodel project. The Council was informed that the NPRM had four successful inspections since the update provided to the City Council at its meeting on October 19, 2021, including an inspection of foundation forms to address a foundation issue in accordance with an engineer’s design on October 19, 2021, framing and wall insulation for the east restroom on January 7, 2022, sheetrock on January 18, 2022, and shower pan inspection on January 24, 2022.

At its meeting on August 16, 2022, staff provided an update to the Council that the NPRM received a final on the bathroom remodel on April 11, 2022, and that the Chief Building Inspector met with a NPRM representative to review the exterior ADA requirements to be completed with the next stage of the project.

At its meeting on February 21, 2023, staff provided an update to the Council that the NPRM has completed the concrete landing for the two east doors, which passed inspection on January 27, 2023.

At its meeting on August 8, 2023, staff provided an update to the City Council, the NPRM met with the Chief Building Inspector to review the layout of an ADA ramp to be utilized for exiting the west side of the facility. The remaining work to be completed in accordance with the NPRM’s approved plans is the construction of stairs and handrailing at the center door and to bring the west ramp into compliance.

Since the last update provided to Council, the NPRM completed the construction of the ramp leading to the front door. The ramp was inspected and approved by the Building Division. The NPRM's next component of the project is to construct a landing and a set of stairs in front of the raised door on the North side of the building.

The Code Enforcement Division has not issued any notices of violation to the NPRM since the last update was provided.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – MARCH 19, 2024
SUBJECT: Authorization to Repair City Well No.15
SOURCE: Public Works
COMMENT: The City of Porterville's Well No. 15, located on the Southwest corner of Morton Ave. and G St., has experienced an operational failure of a submersible motor. The water system's demand depends on all wells being operational, making it imperative that Well No. 15 be restored. Failure to correct this issue would affect the city’s overall water system pressure and production capabilities.

To secure the supplies for the pump repair company, three (3) bids were requested, and two (2) bids were received, with one (1) company unresponsive from these local pump repair companies:

Company Total
Carver Pump $ 20,074
S.A. Camp Pump and Drilling $ 24,667
Zim Industries Unresponsive
Carver Pump was the lowest bidder to respond. In addition, they are immediately available to supply the replacement parts for City Well No. 15 at a cost not to exceed $20,081 (inclusive of all parts, taxes, and contingencies). The total repair cost will be funded by the Water Operating Fund.

RECOMMENDATION: That City Council:

1. Direct the Finance Director to initiate a Purchase Order to Carver Pump for an amount not to exceed $22,081 (inclusive of all parts, taxes, and contingency) for the replacement parts for City Well No. 15; and

2. Direct the Finance Director to make payment to Carver Pump upon receipt of the invoice approved by the Public Works Director.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – MARCH 19, 2024
SUBJECT: Authorization for the Barn Theater to Sell Safe and Sane Fireworks from the City's Parking Lot at the Barn Theater
SOURCE: Parks and Leisure Services
COMMENT: For more than sixty (60) years, the Barn Theater, located at 42 South Plano Street, has been providing community entertainment. In April 2017, the City Council approved the Revocable License Agreement renewal with the Barn Theater with a twenty-five (25) year term effective April 18, 2017, through April 17, 2042. This was the second consecutive twenty-five (25) year License Agreement between the City and the Barn Theater. The Agreement states that 'the property is deemed suitable, necessary, and proper for use by the Barn Theater in carrying on and conducting a community enterprise of a non-profit, non-political, and non-religious nature for which the Barn Theater has been incorporated and organized, and is now engaged in, carrying on and conducting as a community enterprise, and for the benefit, enlightenment, amusement, recreation, education and advancement of the Porterville area, and not for the profit of any individual or enterprise.

During the pandemic, the Barn Theater, similar to other non-profit organizations, attempted new types of activities to continue providing some sort of offerings to the community and needed revenue for the organization. The Barn Theater Board of Directors expressed an interest to the City in having the Agreement amended to provide clarity on what types of fundraising activities the Barn Theater can provide for the community. Fundraising enables the Barn Theater to fulfill its primary purpose of providing community enrichment activities and theater programs. At its meeting on November 30, 2022, the City's Internal Audit Committee finalized the draft amendment to the current Revocable License Agreement. The proposed amendment that was agreed upon by the Barn Theater representatives and the Internal Audit Committee is: "As a community non-profit that is dependent on its fundraising activities, the Barn Theater shall be allowed to conduct fundraising and/or community enrichment activities at the property including, but not limited to fine arts performances and recitals, concerts, comedy nights, art displays and art nights, talent shows, dance shows, dinners and luncheons, Christmas parties, weddings, birthday parties, and baby showers and shall be allowed to sublicense the property to community clubs for such clubs' meetings." On January 17, 2023, City Council approved the aforementioned proposed amendments to the Revocable License Agreement between the City and the Barn Theater. In addition to other minor edits and clarifications, the amended Revocable License Agreement modified the term of the current Agreement from twenty-five (25) years to five years, with a mutual option for an extension of an additional year.

Item No. 4.

The Barn Theater was recently selected in the City's annual lottery for nonprofit organizations interested in selling Safe and Sane Fireworks for the days leading up to the Fourth of July. A Barn Theater representative inquired with City staff about conducting the fireworks sales from the City's parking lot at the Barn Theater. City staff believes that the desire to raise funds is in alignment with the intent stated in the current agreement the City has with the Barn Theater to conduct various types of fundraising activities. The site plan for the proposed temporary fireworks booth was reviewed by Fire Marshall and was found to meet the requirements set by the Fire Department.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council authorize the Barn Theater to sell fireworks on APN 261-210-007 adjacent to the Barn Theater and authorize the City Manager or their designee to sign the Safe and Sane Fireworks Property Use Declaration.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – MARCH 19, 2024
SUBJECT: 2023 General Plan Annual Progress Report
SOURCE: Community Development
COMMENT: Pursuant to Government Code Section 65300, each city and county is required to adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan to guide the physical development of the incorporated city and land outside city boundaries that bears a relationship to its planning activities. The general plan serves as a blueprint for future growth and development. As such, the plan contains policies and programs designed to provide decision-makers and staff with a solid foundation for land use and development decisions.

State law further requires each jurisdiction to complete an annual report on the general plan, which is submitted to the local planning agency (the City Council), the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) in accordance with Government Code Section 65400. This report must:
• Identify compliance with the State General Plan law and State General Plan Guidelines; and
• Identify status of the general plan and the process towards its implementation.

The City of Porterville most recently updated the General Plan in 2008, creating the Porterville 2030 General Plan. The update brought the General Plan into legislative compliance at that time and added optional elements for: Economic Development; Parks, Schools, and Community Facilities; and Public Utilities.

Porterville’s Housing Element is published separately and updated on a different timeline, with its most recent update occurring in December 2015 as part of a coordinated effort with Tulare County. The 2030 Porterville General Plan contains the following elements:
• Land Use;
• Economic Development;
• Circulation;
• Parks, Schools & Community Facilities;
• Open Space & Conservation;
• Public Health & Safety;
• Public Utilities;
• Noise; and
Item No. 5.
• Housing.

The City of Porterville made progress towards implementing the guiding and implementation policies of the current General Plan during the 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 calendar years. Each section of the General Plan Annual Progress Report includes a summary of the overall objectives of the element along with a summary of activities initiated or completed for each year, which show progress on the policies of the element. The activities listed focus primarily on actions that authorize physical improvements or the establishment of new uses and may not be an exhaustive list of all General Plan implementation progress made during the applicable calendar year.

Following the City Council's receipt of the General Plan Annual Progress Reports, the Reports will be sent to OPR and HCD for their review/filing.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council review the 2019-2023 General Plan Annual Progress Reports and direct the Planning Division to submit the report to the California Department of Housing and Community Development and the Governor’s Office of Planning and
Research.

Introduction
Purpose of this Report
California law requires each city and county to adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan to guide the physical development of the incorporated city and land outside city boundaries that bears a relationship to its planning activities (Government Code Section 65300). The general plan serves as a blueprint for future growth and development. As such, the plan contains policies and programs designed to provide decision makers and staff with a solid foundation for land use and development decisions.

State law further requires each jurisdiction to complete an annual report on the general plan, which is submitted to the local planning agency (the City Council), to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) in accordance with Government Code Section 65400. This report must:
• Identify compliance with the State General Plan law and State General Plan Guidelines; and • Identify status of the general plan and the process towards its implementation.

The annual report is also required to include the information listed below, which are specific to reporting on progress related to implementation of the housing element, a subset of the larger general plan document:
• Describe the City’s progress in meeting its Regional Housings Needs Allocation; • Describe progress in addressing/removing governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing; and
• Identify any surplus lands within the jurisdiction.

The Housing Element Annual Progress Report is required to be submitted on forms provided by HCD and is often submitted as a separate report to HCD and OPR. The City of Porterville has completed the Housing Element Annual Progress Report for the calendar year 2019 and has submitted that report under separate cover. Therefore, the above housing element-specific items are not included within this General Plan Annual Progress Report.

State law requires that the General Plan Annual Progress Report be submitted by April 1 of each year and cover progress made during the previous calendar year (January through December). This Annual Progress Report summarizes the City’s progress towards implementing its General Plan during the 2019 calendar year.
2030 Porterville General Plan

General Plan Implementation Progress
The following sections discuss the progress the City of Porterville made towards implementing the guiding and implementation policies of the current General Plan during the 2019 calendar year and are organized by General Plan element. Each section includes a summary of the overall objectives of the element along with a summary of activities initiated or completed in 2019 that show progress on the policies of the element. The activities listed focus primarily on actions that authorize physical improvements or the establishment of new uses and may not be an exhaustive list of all General Plan implementation progress made during the applicable calendar year.

Land Use Element
The Land Use Element assists in the orderly development of the community and designates general distribution of land for housing, business, public buildings and grounds, and other categories of public and private land use. The Element also establishes standards of population density and building intensity. The General Plan provides policies and standards for various land use types, which are summarized below. The activities identified for each land use type focus primarily on private development activity, including planning applications approved and building permits issued in 2019.

While this report focused on data based on approvals and completion of projects that were approved by the City Council, additional permit approvals can be made at staff level by the Zoning Administrator.

However, Zoning Administrator approvals would typically include accessory structures or determinations of relief for fence height or setbacks and are often tied to a larger planning approval heard by City Council or tied to the issuance of a building permit, both of which are already reported below.

Residential Projects
Seven residential land use designations are identified in the General Plan that range in density from a maximum of 2.5 units per acre up to a maximum of 24 units per acre. These designations are intended to identify areas that are acceptable for housing; clarify the overall type of housing to be developed within each designation; and allow for a mixture of housing types, lot sizes, and affordability. Each residential designation includes a unit-per-acre maximum density expressed in units per gross acre. Types of housing include single-family units, multiple-family units including duplexes and apartment buildings, and mobile homes.
2019 Activities
The City approved several entitlement applications or issued building permits for residential projects, as follows:
• Approval of the River View Villas Subdivision, 62 units (Resolution No. 45-2019) • Approval of the 4
th St. Duplexes Tentative Subdivision Map, 8 multi-family residential lots (Resolution 37-2019)
• Extension of Time for Sierra Valley Tentative Subdivision Map, 74 single-family residential lots (Resolution No. 03-2019)
General Plan Annual Progress Report Calendar Year 2019
City of Porterville Page 4
• Extension of Time for Armalene Estates Tentative Subdivision Map, 62 single family residential lots (Resolution No. 04-2019)
• Extension of Time for the Royal Oaks Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map, 191 single family residential lots (Resolution 88-2019)
• 78 building permits were issued for new residential construction.

The City also leveraged partnerships with various groups to facilitate residential projects or provided funding through assistance programs, as follows:
• The City partnered with UP Holdings to develop Finca Serena, an 80-unit affordable housing apartment complex using a variety of public funds.
• The City expedited entitlement processing for special populations housing and worked together with the Housing Authority of Tulare County on the Lotas Street Apartments, an 8-unit multifamily, affordable housing project that opened in 2019 following completion. • City issued building permits for Nupchi Xo’ Oy, a 40-unit affordable housing project for Tule River Tribe and Porterville Community members.
• Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds & the Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) were prioritized to promote Affordable Housing Programs. Under the First Time Homebuyer Assistance Program, the City has helped to mitigate one of the single largest barriers to obtaining affordable housing, and has made the homeownership dream a reality for low- to moderate-income people who would not otherwise have been able to purchase a home without the City’s assistance. Additionally, the funds available for the Housing Rehabilitation and Public Utilities Program assisted qualified homeowners to make health and safety improvements to their homes that they otherwise could not afford. Providing new affordable rental housing has a very positive effect on the community where such housing is in great demand. − 11 low-to-moderate income households, (two with CDBG funds and nine with HOME funds) were issued 30-year deferred 1% interest loans that helped with down payment, gap, and closing costs to help them have an affordable mortgage payment. This represents an investment of $725,703.57.
− Program Income (PI) funds were leveraged as the City received over $400,000 in PI from repayment of First Time Homebuyer loans.

General Plan Annual Progress Report Calendar Year 2019
City of Porterville Page 5
Mixed Use Projects
The General Plan includes two mixed-use land use designations. The Downtown Mixed-Use designation encourages a higher-density, vertical mix of uses with residential or office uses above ground floor retail or other commercial uses. It also provides for the development of more multi-family residential within walking distance of Downtown. The Commercial Mixed-Use designation allows for lower density butstill multi-story development where the uses may be either horizontally or vertically mixed.

The City works diligently to encourage and assist with proposals for mixed-use projects. Although no projects were approved during the 2019 reporting period, the City continues to support the mixed-use concept to help stimulate revitalization, especially in the downtown areas where unoccupied buildings are common.
2019 Activities
• No substantial projects were ready to be approved.
• No building permits issued.

2019 Activities
• Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds were prioritized for economic development activities that created or retained low- to moderate-income jobs. − Under the Business Assistance Programs, the City had three applicants who were all approved for low-interest loans in FY 18/19. As a result of this $128,788.57 investment, one job was created and 2 were retained.
• Request for Information (RFIs) from Tulare County Economic Development Corporation (TCEDC).

The City of Porterville responded to 13 RFIs from the TCEDC in FY 19/20. Despite not leading to development, the City of Porterville continues to work closely with the TCEDC and the State of California’s Go-Biz office to explore development opportunities for Porterville.

General Plan Annual Progress Report Calendar Year 2019
City of Porterville Page 7
• Authorization of the Library Improvement Project. This action authorized the provision of a new family restroom and modernizing the existing elevator for the library. • Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds were prioritized to support the Cityoperated Youth Center. − Under the Youth Center Program, the City continued funding the Porterville Youth Center. In FY 18/19 the Youth Center averaged a daily attendance of 29 low-to moderateincome youth, with an unduplicated annual enrollment of 94 youth serviced of which

90.43% came from low- to moderate-income households. This represents an investment of $103,335.15.

Open Space & Conservation Element
The Open Space & Conservation Element is intended to establish policies and actions for the conservation, development, and use of open space and natural resources. Topics addressed include open space, agriculture and farmland resources, land resources, including soils and minerals, biological resources, water quality, air quality, and cultural resources. The three General Plan initiatives this element addresses are:
providing Porterville with a network of parks and open space; protecting ridgelines, visible hillsides, and significant environmental resources; and protecting community assets. 2019 Activities
No substantial open space and conservation element activities were implemented.

Public Utilities Element
The purpose of the Public Utilities element is to provide policies and programs to ensure that the public utilities and services the community relies on will have the capacity to serve new development under the General Plan Annual Progress Report Calendar Year 2019
City of Porterville Page 8
General Plan without degrading existing service levels. The public utilities provided by the City of Porterville or quasi-public organizations include water, wastewater, stormwater, solid waste, electricity, natural gas, and telecommunications.
2019 Activities
• Completion of the Sewer Annexations 456A, 456B, 456C Project. This project included the installation of 1.21 miles of sewer main and 207 sewer laterals in the Annexation 456A, 456B, 456C areas along with sewer main and laterals in the east Henderson area. • Completion of the Plano Water Main Replacement Project. This project included the installation of water main pipe along Plano Street from Date Avenue to Vandalia Avenue. This project also included the replacement of concrete curb ramps and distressed asphalt as noted under the Circulation Element activities above.

Noise Element
The purpose of the Noise Element is to identify the existing noise sources within the City and to establish policies and programs to mitigate potential impacts through both preventative and responsive measures.

The regulation of noise sources such as traffic, railroad operations, and aircraft operations is overseen by State and federal agencies; therefore, this element has a direct correlation with the land use, circulation, and housing elements.
2019 Activities
No substantial noise element activities were implemented.

Housing Element
As noted in the Introduction, HCD requires the reporting of the Housing Element on specific state reporting forms. The method of reporting of the Housing Element is established by HCD with the purpose of tracking overall housing production in a community, as well as a jurisdiction’s progress toward meeting its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). The City’s Housing Element APR for 2019 has been completed and submitted to HCD separately.

The annual report is also required to include the information listed below, which is specific to reporting on progress related to the implementation of the housing element, a subset of the larger general plan document:
• Describe the City’s progress in meeting its Regional Housings Needs Allocation; • Describe progress in addressing/removing governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing; and
• Identify any surplus lands within the jurisdiction.

The Housing Element Annual Progress Report is required to be submitted on forms provided by HCD and is often submitted as a separate report to HCD and OPR. The City of Porterville has completed the Housing Element Annual Progress Report for the calendar year 2020 and has submitted that report under separate cover. Therefore, the above housing element-specific items are not included in this General Plan Annual Progress Report.

State law requires that the General Plan Annual Progress Report be submitted by April 1 of each year and cover progress made during the previous calendar year (January through December). This Annual Progress Report summarizes the City’s progress toward implementing its General Plan during the 2020 calendar year.

General Plan Implementation Progress
The following sections discuss the progress the City of Porterville made towards implementing the guiding and implementation policies of the current General Plan during the 2020 calendar year and are organized by General Plan element. Each section includes a summary of the overall objectives of the element along with a summary of activities initiated or completed in 2020 that show progress on the policies of the element. The activities listed focus primarily on actions that authorize physical improvements or the establishment of new uses and may not be an exhaustive list of all General Plan implementation progress made during the applicable calendar year.

Residential Projects
Seven residential land use designations are identified in the General Plan that range in density from a maximum of 2.5 units per acre up to a maximum of 24 units per acre. These designations are intended to identify areas that are acceptable for housing; clarify the overall type of housing to be developed within each designation; and allow for a mixture of housing types, lot sizes, and affordability. Each residential designation includes a unit-per-acre maximum density expressed in units per gross acre. Types of housing include single-family units, multiple-family units including duplexes and apartment buildings, and mobile homes.
2020 Activities
The City approved several entitlement applications or issued building permits for residential projects, as follows:
• Approval of the Villas as Sierra Meadows Tentative Subdivision Map, 106 units (Resolution No. 10-2020)
• Approval of the Woodland Tentative Subdivision Map, 32 detached single-family residential lots, a 6,019± square foot pocket park (Resolution 03-2020)
• Approval of the Hillside Estates Tentative Subdivision Map, 28 single-family residential lots (Resolution No. 16-2020)
General Plan Annual Progress Report Calendar Year 2020
City of Porterville Page 4
• 61 building permits were issued for new residential construction.

The City also leveraged partnerships with various groups to facilitate residential projects or provided funding through assistance programs, as follows:
• Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds & the Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) were prioritized to promote Affordable Housing Programs. Under the First Time Homebuyer Assistance Program, the City has helped to mitigate one of the single largest barriers to obtaining affordable housing, and has made the homeownership dream a reality for low- to moderate-income people who would not otherwise have been able to purchase a home without the City’s assistance. Additionally, the funds available for the Housing Rehabilitation and Public Utilities Program assisted qualified homeowners to make health and safety improvements to their homes that they otherwise could not afford. Providing new affordable rental housing has a very positive effect on the community where such housing is in great demand. − 2 low-to-moderate income households were issued 30-year deferred 1% interest loans that helped with down payment, gap, and closing costs to help them have an affordable mortgage payment.

Mixed Use Projects
The General Plan includes two mixed-use land use designations. The Downtown Mixed-Use designation encourages a higher-density, vertical mix of uses with residential or office uses above ground floor retail or other commercial uses. It also provides for the development of more multi-family residential within walking distance of Downtown. The Commercial Mixed-Use designation allows for lower density butstill multi-story development where the uses may be either horizontally or vertically mixed.

The City works diligently to encourage and assist with proposals for mixed-use projects. The City continues to support the mixed-use concept to help stimulate revitalization, especially in the downtown areas where unoccupied buildings are common.
2020 Activities
• Tractor Supply Co. was developed as part of the Pacific Rim Mixed-Use Development. • Approval of Modification #3 to the Pacific Rim Commercial Mixed-Use Project Conditional Use Permit (PRC 2012-002-C) which reduced the Commercial component, converting it into additional General Plan Annual Progress Report Calendar Year 2020
City of Porterville Page 5
residential space by 104 multi-family units and resulting in a total of 352 units for this development.

The development of additional housing helped increase the availability of housing stock, alleviating the statewide housing crisis.
• No new building permits issued.

Economic Development Element
The Economic Development Element contains policies and actions that enable the City to direct local resources to retain and assist local businesses and attract new industry that will increase its tax base and economic diversity. This Element has been included in the City’s General Plan to strengthen community development activities, enhance economic growth, and reinforce the planning process as a positive part of economic development. In addition, this Element seeks to improve the local business climate by providing jobs for its growing population, creating opportunities for the supply of retail goods and services that are needed in the community, fostering the development of a City that sustains its downtown, and supporting regional-serving and neighborhood commercial centers that can meet the everyday needs of residents. 2020 Activities
• Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds were prioritized for economic development activities that created or retained low- to moderate-income jobs. − Under the Business Assistance Programs, the City had two applicants, both of whom were approved for low-interest loans in FY 19/20 related to job creation. As a result of this $50,625.70 investment, three jobs were retained.
• Request for Information (RFIs) from Tulare County Economic Development Corporation (TCEDC).

The City of Porterville responded to 4 RFIs from the TCEDC in FY 20/21. Despite not leading to development, the City of Porterville continues to work closely with the TCEDC and the State of California’s Go-Biz office to explore development opportunities for Porterville.

Parks, School & Community Facilities Element
The Parks, School & Community Facilities Element presents Porterville’s policies and programs for the development and maintenance of parks, schools, and community facilities. Additionally, this Element provides an inventory of existing and planned parks, recreation facilities, public schools, and other community facilities. This Element:
• serves as a guide for park planning and development documents prepared by the Department of Parks and Leisure Services and the Parks and Leisure Services Commission; • provides adequate, flexible school sites by recommending and discussing potential sites for elementary, middle, and high schools; and
• promotes the development of community facilities as part of the network of public and private institutions that support the civic and social needs of the population. 2020 Activities
• Completion of the demolition of the City Library. The structure required emergency demolition after being catastrophically damaged by fire on February 18, 2020. • Completion of the City Restroom Facilities Projects. The project included construction elements for the Airway Café that created an accessible restroom space and the renovation of existing restrooms at Veterans Park and Zalud Park for access compliance.
• Completion of City Hall Fire Alarm Project. The project included the installation of a nonproprietary replacement fire alarm system for City Hall located at 291 N. Main Street. • Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds were prioritized to support the Cityoperated Youth Center. − The City continued funding of the Porterville Youth Center, which saw a daily average attendance of 18 low-to-moderate-income youth. The Youth Center closed in March due to COVID-19, therefore only 55 of the 100 anticipated unduplicated youth were served, of which 96.63% were from low- to moderate-income households. As a result, $9,259.73 of the allocated FY 19/20 entitlement funds were not expended.

Open Space & Conservation Element
The Open Space & Conservation Element is intended to establish policies and actions for the conservation, development, and use of open space and natural resources. Topics addressed include open space, agriculture and farmland resources, land resources, including soils and minerals, biological resources, water quality, air quality, and cultural resources. The three General Plan initiatives this element addresses are:
providing Porterville with a network of parks and open space; protecting ridgelines, visible hillsides, and significant environmental resources; and protecting community assets. 2020 Activities
No substantial open space and conservation element activities were implemented.

General Plan Annual Progress Report Calendar Year 2020

Public Health & Safety Element
The purpose of the Public Health & Safety Element is to identify the natural and man-made public health and safety hazards that exist within the City, and to establish preventative and responsive policies and programs to mitigate their potential impacts. This Element addresses geologic hazards; wildfire hazards; hazardous materials; flood hazards; and safety services such law enforcement, fire protection, and emergency response.
2020 Activities
• Completion of Stucco Repair and Painting of Fire Station 71. The project included repairs to the stucco of the exterior of the building and repainting the exterior to accentuate and highlight the Art Deco style of the structure.
• Acceptance of the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) Grant Award. On June 10, 2020, the Porterville Police Department received notification from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) that funding in the amount of $105,500 had been approved for the City of Porterville’s STEP program. The funding will cover personnel costs (overtime) associated with multiple DUI/License checkpoints, special saturation patrols, and targeted enforcement of areas of repeated traffic collisions, as well as for the purchase of specialized equipment for police units that target individuals speeding in high collision areas. The proposed grant will fund the STEP program for the period of October 1, 2020, through September 30, 2021.

Public Utilities Element
The purpose of the Public Utilities element is to provide policies and programs to ensure that the public utilities and services the community relies on will have the capacity to serve new development under the General Plan without degrading existing service levels. The public utilities provided by the City of Porterville or quasi-public organizations include water, wastewater, stormwater, solid waste, electricity, natural gas, and telecommunications.
2020 Activities
• Completion of the Well No. 37 Project. The project consisted of installing a new well located southwest of Olive Avenue and Newcomb Street, just north of the Tule River in the Summit Estates Two subdivision.
• Completion of the Corporation Yard Electrification Project. The project consisted of installing 10 new electric charging stations, a photovoltaic system on a pre-engineered structure, conduit work to connect to Southern California Edison disconnect switches and service pedestal, fiber conduit running from the Corporation Yard main office to new charging stations, as well as a new pre-manufactured concrete utility structure. Also included in the project were grading, paving, concrete, and storm drain improvements. The project area is in the southeast corner of the City's Corporation Yard.
• Asbestos and Other Hazardous Materials Abatement and Demolition Project. Staff has completed the preparation of construction and specifications (i.e. Project Manual) for the Asbestos Remediation and Hazardous Material Abatement of the Stout Building, Waste Water Treatment Facility (WWTF) Office, and Spencer House Demolition Project. The proposed project consists of the required abatement of existing asbestos materials, mercury lighting, and other components mandating specific abatement protocol mandated by State regulations. The proposed project General Plan Annual Progress Report Calendar Year 2020
City of Porterville Page 8
includes the full demolition of the Spencer House and WWTF Office (while protecting SCADA equipment), and the first step in the remodeling of the Stout Building. • Completion of purchase of two Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Refuse Trucks. Commercial truck dealership, E.M. Tharp of Porterville, has completed the purchase, assembly, and delivery of two CNG refuse trucks according to the City's specifications, and the City has taken possession of the side-loader refuse trucks. E.M. Tharp delivered the refuse trucks in January of 2020 and staff has found the vehicles to be in compliance with the purchase agreement.

The regulation of noise sources such as traffic, railroad operations, and aircraft operations is overseen by State and federal agencies; therefore, this element has a direct correlation with the land use, circulation, and housing elements.
2020 Activities
No substantial noise element activities were implemented.

Housing Element
As noted in the Introduction, HCD requires the reporting of the Housing Element on specific state reporting forms. The method of reporting of the Housing Element is established by HCD with the purpose of tracking overall housing production in a community, as well as a jurisdiction’s progress toward meeting its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). The City’s Housing Element APR for 2020 has been completed and submitted to HCD separately.

Introduction
Purpose of this Report
California law requires each city and county to adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan to guide the physical development of the incorporated city and land outside city boundaries that bears a relationship to its planning activities (Government Code Section 65300). The general plan serves as a blueprint for future growth and development. As such, the plan contains policies and programs designed to provide decision-makers and staff with a solid foundation for land use and development decisions.

State law further requires each jurisdiction to complete an annual report on the general plan, which is submitted to the local planning agency (the City Council), to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), in accordance with Government Code Section 65400. This report must:
• Identify compliance with the State General Plan law and State General Plan Guidelines; and • Identify the status of the general plan and its implementation process.

The annual report is also required to include the information listed below, which is specific to reporting on progress related to the implementation of the housing element, a subset of the larger general plan document:
• Describe the City’s progress in meeting its Regional Housing Needs Allocation; • Describe progress in addressing/removing governmental constraints for the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing; and
• Identify any surplus lands within the jurisdiction.

The Housing Element Annual Progress Report is required to be submitted on forms provided by HCD and is often submitted as a separate report to HCD and OPR. The City of Porterville has completed the Housing Element Annual Progress Report for the calendar year 2023 and has submitted that report under a separate cover. Therefore, the above housing element-specific items are not included in this General Plan Annual Progress Report.

State law requires that the General Plan Annual Progress Report be submitted by April 1 of each year and cover progress made during the previous calendar year (January through December). This Annual Progress Report summarizes the City’s progress toward implementing its General Plan during the 2023 calendar year.

General Plan Implementation Progress
The following sections discuss the progress the City of Porterville made towards implementing the guiding and implementation policies of the current General Plan during the 2023 calendar year. Each section is organized by General Plan element and includes a summary of the overall objectives of the element. A summary of activities initiated or completed in 2023 will show progress made on the policies of the element. The activities listed focus primarily on actions that authorize physical improvements or the establishment of new uses. This is not an exhaustive list of all General Plan implementation progress made during the applicable calendar year.

Land Use Element
The Land Use Element assists in the orderly development of the community and designates the general distribution of land for housing, business, public buildings and grounds, and other categories of public and private land use. The Element also establishes standards of population density and building intensity. The General Plan provides policies and standards for various land use types, summarized below. The activities identified for each land use type focus primarily on private development activity, including planning applications approved and building permits issued in 2023.

This report focused on data based on the approval and completion of projects that were approved by the City Council; however, additional permit approvals can be made at the staff level by the Zoning Administrator. Zoning Administrator approvals would typically include accessory structures or determinations of relief for fence height or setbacks and are often tied to a larger planning approval, heard by the City Council, or tied to the issuance of a building permit, both of which are already reported below.

Residential Projects
Seven residential land use designations are identified in the General Plan, ranging in density from a maximum of 2.5 units per acre to a maximum of 24 units per acre. These designations are intended to identify areas that are acceptable for housing, clarify the overall type of housing to be developed within each designation, and allow for a mixture of housing types, lot sizes, and affordability. Each residential General Plan Annual Progress Report Calendar Year 2023
City of Porterville Page 4
designation includes a unit-per-acre maximum density expressed in units per gross acre. Types of housing include single-family units, multiple-family units, including duplexes and apartment buildings, and mobile homes.
2023 Activities
The City approved several entitlement applications or issued building permits for residential projects, such as:
• Royal Oaks, phase 3 under construction, 192 lots.
• Villas at Sierra Meadows, 1, 2, and 3, phase 3 under construction, 106 lots. • Villas at Sierra Meadows 4 & 5, under construction, 99 lots. • Completed Carolita, Affordable Apartments, 68 units.
• Completed Finca Serena, Affordable Apartments, 80 units. • 83 building permits were issued for residential construction. There were 28 ADUs, 49 singlefamily homes, 3 multi-family residential, and 3 SB9 projects • 67 building permits were completed for residential construction. There were 15 ADUs, 50 singlefamily homes, and 4 multi-family residential projects completed. Resulting in a total of 213 units of new construction, with 148 of these units being Affordable Housing.

The City also leveraged partnerships with various groups to facilitate residential projects or provided funding through assistance programs, including:
• First-Time Homebuyer Loan Program: The FY 23-24 Action Plan (AP) set a goal that at least one low-to-moderate income household would receive assistance. Two of the City’s low-income households benefited from the purchase of a home under the City’s First-Time Homebuyer programs, funded with DEBG funds.
• Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Loan Programs: A goal of four low-to-moderate income households was established by the AP. There was one rehabilitation loan funded in the Program Year 2023-2024. There is one active rehabilitation loan application in progress at this time. Three applications did not progress as the applicants were unresponsive to communication.

Commercial/Industrial Projects
The General Plan includes seven commercial and industrial land use designations listed in the Commercial/Office/Industrial category. These designations are intended to provide services and employment opportunities to both residents and people from surrounding communities. The designations note the appropriate building intensity and commercial or industrial uses appropriate in each area.
2023 Activities
• Panaderia La Cosecha: Approved proposed new construction of a 1,640-square-foot bakery located at 23 N. F Street. A zone change from High-Density Residential (RM-3) to Commercial General (CG) was required. The City Council approved this zone change and construction began • Chevron Gas Station: Approved construction of a new 4290 square foot convenience store, drivethrough car wash, and 8 fueling spaces located at 1043 W. Olive. Construction is in progress.

General Plan Annual Progress Report Calendar Year 2023
City of Porterville Page 5
• Goodwill: Approved new construction of a 15,158-square-foot building for Goodwill. A building permit was issued
• Kingdom Hall: the construction of Phase II of Kingdom Hall, a 3385-square-foot structure located at 1981 W. Henderson Avenue. This project is complete.
• 78 building permits were issued for alterations, repairs, or new construction of commercial/industrial buildings in 2023.
• 38 building permits were completed for alterations, repairs, or new construction of commercial/industrial structures in 2023.

Mixed Use Projects
The General Plan includes two mixed-use land use designations. The Downtown Mixed-Use designation encourages a higher-density, vertical mix of uses with residential or office uses above ground floor retail or other commercial uses. It also provides for the development of more multi-family residential within walking distance of Downtown. The Commercial Mixed-Use designation allows for lower density but still multi-story development where the uses may be either horizontally or vertically mixed.

The City works diligently to encourage and assist with proposals for mixed-use projects. Although no projects were approved during the 2023 reporting period, the City continues to support the mixed-use concept to help stimulate revitalization, especially in the downtown areas where unoccupied buildings are common.
2023 Activities
• No substantial projects were ready for approval.
• No building permits issued.

2023 Activities
• Requests for Information (RFIs) from Tulare County Economic Development Corporation (TCEDC):

The City of Porterville received 17 RFIs in 2023. Despite not leading to development, the City of General Plan Annual Progress Report Calendar Year 2023
City of Porterville Page 6
Porterville continues to work closely with the TCEDC and the State of California’s Go-Biz office to explore development opportunities for Porterville.
• Community Development Block Grant (CDBG): Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD) CDBG Funds were prioritized for economic development activities that created or retained low- to moderate-income jobs.
o Under the Business Assistance Programs: One (1) BAP-CV loan was funded through the Community Development Block Grant CARES Act (CDBG-CV). One (1) Microenterprise Forgivable Loan Program loan was approved for funding. A total of two (2) businesses were assisted in 2023, which represents an investment of $60,000. • Business Retention & Expansion (BRE) Efforts:
o City Council and City Staff regularly attend ribbon cuttings to support the efforts of Porterville Chamber.
o The City of Porterville launched a Shop Local Contest in partnership with the Porterville Chamber, local community organizations, and local businesses. 50 local Porterville businesses participated in a scavenger hunt-style contest and received promotion on social and local media. The businesses that participated were mostly small businesses with a high concentration of Downtown Porterville businesses participating. o Downtown Porterville Business Meetings and Newsletter: In 2023, the City of Porterville met with Downtown Porterville businesses and regularly published a monthly newsletter to keep the business district abreast of City updates affecting the downtown area. o Outstanding Business Recognition Program: Each year, the City of Porterville recognizes three local businesses that have contributed to the community's economic base.

Circulation Element
The Circulation Element is intended to provide guidance and specific actions to ensure the continued safe and efficient operation of Porterville’s circulation system. The Element is based on a fundamental philosophy that traffic conditions in the City can be managed through a comprehensive program of transportation planning, land use planning, and growth management strategies. This Element includes provisions for roadways, aviation, transit, pedestrian, and bicycle transportation modes, as well as parking. The intent of the Element is to identify transportation needs and issues within the City, as well as regional relationships that affect the transportation system; consider alternatives other than the singleoccupant vehicle as essential in providing services and access to facilities; and establish policies that coordinate regional transportation planning circulation systems with General Plan and area plan land use maps and provide direction for future decision-making.

2023 Activities
• Main Street Reconstruction Project: This project includes the installation of a new barrier curb and gutter, detectable warnings, conduit for fiber optic line, and installing video detection at the intersection of Main Street and Putnam Avenue and Main Street and Morton Avenue. Purple pipes will be installed along the stretch of road to prepare for the future use of reclaimed water throughout the city. The project also includes the necessary footings and banner poles to be located between City Hall and Centennial Park. This project is nearing completion. • Self-Performed Asphalt Overlay Maintenance Program: Staff surveyed streets and prepared a report of streets that qualify as Poor or below on the Pavement Condition Index (PCI). Proposed treatments for these streets include traditional curb-to-curb overlay, dig out and repair with AC Hot Mix asphalt, and blade patching. This program led to the improvement of 83,580 linear feet of streets. This report was prepared for FY 22/23. This is an ongoing project.

Parks, School & Community Facilities Element
The Parks, School & Community Facilities Element presents Porterville’s policies and programs for the development and maintenance of parks, schools, and community facilities. Additionally, this Element provides an inventory of existing and planned parks, recreation facilities, public schools, and other community facilities. This Element serves as a guide for park planning and development documents prepared by the Department of Parks and Leisure Services and the Parks and Leisure Services Commission; provides adequate, flexible school sites by recommending and discussing potential sites for elementary, middle, and high school; and promotes the development of community facilities as part of the network of public and private institutions that support the civic and social needs of the population. 2023 Activities
• Parks Improvement Program: The Parks & Leisure Services Department worked diligently to bring new amenities to the parks in FY 22/23. Accomplishments included the installation of 4'x8' concrete slabs for each of the nine (9) disc golf holes at both Zalud and Murry Parks. These pads will produce a much safer and more durable footing area for the patrons to throw discs from than the grass and dirt that they threw from previously. Additionally, forty (40) solar light posts were installed within two parks in Porterville; twenty-nine (29) lights were installed at Murry Park and eleven (11) lights were installed at Zalud Park. The lights illuminate previously unlit trails, fitness equipment, and connectivity paths. These improvements were made using CDBG funds. • Other Park Improvements:
o Henry Street Park Sidewalk: The City partnered with CSET to install a sidewalk on Putnam on the south side of Henry Street Park. A concrete trail was also constructed within the park around the pond.

Open Space & Conservation Element
The Open Space & Conservation Element is intended to establish policies and actions for the conservation, development, and use of open space and natural resources. Topics addressed include open space; agriculture and farmland resources; land resources including soils and minerals; biological resources; water quality; air quality; and cultural resources. The three General Plan initiatives this element addresses are: providing Porterville with a network of parks and open space; protecting ridgelines, visible hillsides, and significant environmental resources; and protecting community assets. 2023 Activities
• Center Friant-Kern Canal Turnout Basin Project: The project includes the installation of new water pipelines, concrete turnout structures, earthwork, and other appurtenances to create a turnout for a groundwater recharge basin. This project is important as it will help the City meet sustainability requirements for future and current development. The turnout is completed and the basin is close to completion. The project will be completed this fiscal year. • Recycled Water: The City of Porterville is in the process of commissioning its Tertiary Recycled Water Facility in conjunction with the relocation of the Eagle Mountain Casino, in partnership with the Tule River Indian Tribe of California. The City has been installing recycled water pipes in all major street reconstructions in anticipation of recycled water distribution. The City is also planning future conversion of its Wastewater Treatment Facility to full Tertiary Discharge to offset potable water supplies and increase potable water supply. • Groundwater Recharging: The City is an active participant in purchasing water shares and available surface water for the purposes of groundwater recharging. This helps the City meet groundwater sustainability requirements.
• Water Conservation Plan: The City's Conservation Plan is an Odd/Even watering schedule composed of Five Phases; Phase I is a Voluntary 3-day Watering a week Schedule; Phase II, is a Mandatory 3-day Watering a-week Schedule; Phase III, is a Mandatory 2-day Watering a week Schedule; Phase IV, is a Mandatory 1-Day Watering week Schedule; and Phase V, is a No Outdoor Watering schedule. Through the implementation of mandatory conservation, the City has been able to maintain a cumulative GPCD conservation total reduction of twenty-five percent (25%) from June 2015 through April 2023.

General Plan Annual Progress Report Calendar Year 2023

• Fire Vehicles Update: The Fire Department fleet currently includes five Type 1 Fire Engines. Three serve as the initial response from each fire station, and two serve as reserve engines used on major emergencies and when front-line apparatuses are taken out of service for repair or maintenance. One reserve engine (unit 2194) was purchased in 2005 and is scheduled for replacement during the 2025-2026 Fiscal Year. Additionally, the Ladder Truck (unit 2195) was purchased in 2006 and is scheduled for replacement during the 2026-2027 Fiscal Year. The lead time in manufacturing an engine is approximately 550 days (1.5 years). The Tiller Ladder Truck will take approximately 650 days (2 years). In order to meet the replacement times of each apparatus, the manufacturing process must be initiated. This will facilitate keeping the replacement schedule and minimize cost, as apparatus prices are anticipated to increase in January 2024. Staff have also identified the need for a new Fire Station 74 and are in the process of pursuing land acquisition. This was supported by the Department's Standards of Coverage Community Risk Reduction Survey. Again, due to lead time in manufacturing fire apparatus, the process of purchasing an initial response engine for that station should be initiated. This will facilitate fire and life safety protection for the projected growth of the City and minimize the associated risk for the public and Department personnel. The Fire Department was authorized to start this process of replacing engines and acquiring a new engine. • Live Burn Training Tower: The training tower is four stories with three live fire burn chambers. It has a large simulated commercial roof and two simulated residential roof props, all venting over live smoke/fire. This training tower was designed to meet the Fire Department's training recommendations in the SART report and provide a complete training tower for future firefighters. This tower also fulfills the Insurance Services Office (ISO) training requirements and NFPA 1403 standards for live fire training.
• Automatic Aid Agreement with Cal Fire Tulare Unit: The automatic aid agreement outlines that Cal Fire will provide the Porterville Fire Department with one engine and a minimum of three personnel within the Porterville city limits at no cost to the City. In return, the Porterville Fire Department will provide two personnel on the Water Tender or Patrol to predetermined geographical areas as highlighted in this Agreement. Response areas were evaluated for call volume and potential for life and property loss. If Porterville Fire has resources assigned to a Cal Fire incident for longer than four hours, Porterville Fire will be reimbursed at rates already set forth in the adopted California Fire Assistance Agreement (CFAA) • Police K-9 Safety: The Police Department accepted the K-9 Safety Equipment Grant to provide more protection for their K-9 officers. The Police Department used this grant to purchase two ballistic vests.
• Expand Unmanned Aerial System: The Unmanned Aerial System is a program implemented by the Police Department, which uses drones to monitor various activities, survey natural disasters, search areas, gather intelligence, and support tactical operations. The Police Department got approval to expand this program to include the DJI Matrice 30T. This drone has advanced features that will increase the usefulness of this program. • School Resource Officers: A joint funding agreement was reached with both Burton School District and Porterville Unified School District to provide School Resource Officers. • Upfit Police Vehicles: The Police Department was authorized to outfit six (6) of their cars to become new patrol cars.
• Security Updates at Police Station: New fencing and gates were installed at the Police Department. The project started in 2023 and is projected to be completed in 2024.

• Construction and Completion of the Tertiary Wastewater System Facility in partnership with the Tule River Indian Tribe of California: The construction of TWSF was constructed in a 1/3 2/3 partnership with the Tule River Indian Tribe for the purposes of serving the casino and sports complex. This would reduce demands on potable water and provide a reliable supply to these sites. The capacity of the plant is .308 MGD.

The regulation of noise sources such as traffic, railroad operations, and aircraft operations is overseen by State and federal agencies; therefore, this element has a direct correlation with the land use, circulation, and housing elements.
2023 Activities
No substantial noise-element activities were implemented.

Housing Element
As noted in the Introduction, HCD requires the reporting of the Housing Element on specific state reporting forms. The method of reporting the Housing Element is established by HCD with the purpose of tracking overall housing production in a community, as well as a jurisdiction’s progress toward meeting its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). The City’s Housing Element APR for 2023 is pending Final Admin Draft to be submitted to city staff for final review by the project’s consultant.

Item No. 6.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – MARCH 19, 2024
SUBJECT: 2023 Housing Element Annual Progress Report
SOURCE: Community Development
COMMENT: Pursuant to Government Code Section 65400(a)(2), each governing body is required to prepare an annual report on the status and progress of implementing the jurisdiction’s Housing Element of the General Plan. Housing Element Annual Progress Reports (APR), using forms and definitions adopted by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), are due annually by April 1st, covering the preceding calendar year. The attached report evaluates the progress made towards the implementation of the 2015- 2023 Housing Element programs and housing production during the period between January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2023.

In 2015, the City Council adopted, and the HCD certified, the City of Porterville’s 2015-2023 General Plan Housing Element. The Housing Element is one of the many chapters of the City’s General Plan. The General Plan is a state-mandated comprehensive, long-term planning document that addresses a multitude of land use-related issues designed to provide policy guidance. The Housing Element addresses present and future housing opportunities for Porterville residents. The Housing Element is the only General Plan Element that requires review and certification by the HCD. Additionally, state law requires local jurisdictions to update the Housing Element every eight years and file an annual Housing Element progress report to the HCD and the Governor’s Office of Planning & Research (OPR) by April 1 of each year.

The Annual Report identifies Porterville’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation and self-stated housing production goals (referred to as the “Quantified Objective”). The completed Housing Element Annual Progress Report describes the following:
• Progress made towards meeting these goals, quantified by the total number of building permits issued for new housing units during the reporting year, and the total number of housing units entitled and completed; and
• Status of other action items outlined in the Housing Element’s Implementation Program.

During the 5th RHNA (Regional Housing Needs Assessment) planning period, the City of Porterville has made progress on Housing Element program implementation and has seen an increase in housing unit approvals and Item No. 6.
production. The RHNA goal for the 5-year period was 3,196 housing units and the City was able to achieve was 1084 housing units.

For the period of January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2023, the City deemed complete and approved planning entitlement applications for 254 new units, including Single Family Residential (SFR), Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU), and Multifamily Residential of which 148 are low-income units. The City is also currently processing entitlement applications for one (2) multi-family residential projects for 74 units and four (5) Single family residential projects for 457 new housing units.

Following the City Council’s receipt of the Housing Element Progress Report, the Report will be sent to OPR and HCD for their review/filing.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council review the 2023 Annual Housing Element Progress Report and direct the Planning Division to submit the report to the California Department of Housing and Community Development and the Governor’s Office of Planning and
Research.

Optional: This runs a macro which checks to ensure all required fields are filled out. The macro will create two files saved in the same directory this APR file is saved in. One file will be a copy of the APR with highlighted cells which require information. The other file will be list of the problematic cells, along with a description of the nature of the error.

Optional: Save before running. This copies data on Table A2, and creates another workbook with the table split across 4 tabs, each of which can fit onto a single page for easier printing. Running this macro will remove the comments on the column headers, which contain the instructions. Do not save the APR file after running in order to preserve comments once it is reopened.

Optional: This macro identifies dates entered that occurred outside of the reporting year. RHNA credit is only given for building permits issued during the reporting year.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – MARCH 19, 2024
SUBJECT: HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) Grant Application SOURCE: Community Development
COMMENT: At its last City Council meeting on March 5, 2024, the City Council approved the submittal of a request to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to disencumber $400,000 of the City of Porterville’s 19-HOME-14972 grant. The funds that were awarded in 2020 had not been spent due to a hold that was placed on the funds while the State's guidelines were being reviewed at the Federal level. In that report, staff recommended not applying for additional grant funds under the new Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), as the City has a significant amount of program income that has accumulated for the past couple of years while the City has been unable to expend any HOME funds. The Request Letter has been executed and sent to HCD for processing.

HCD representatives have since reached out to staff and requested that the City reconsider applying for grant funds under the new NOFA despite the continued hold and program income balance. While staff was concerned that the City would be unable to meet the expenditure deadline for any new grant funds awarded, because program income is expended first, HCD encouraged staff to apply and indicated that an extension or another disencumbrance request could be submitted if necessary. They also reiterated that the City would not be penalized for either request in the future. They also emphasized that the PI accumulated during this hold period could be transferred to a multifamily affordable development project once one is identified.

Under HOME, the HCD provides federal funding through specified recipients to conduct the following activities:

1. New Home Construction;

2. Acquisition of Existing Residential Units;

3. Rehabilitation of Existing Residential Units; and

4. Tenant-Based Rental Assistance.

In light of recent discussions with HCD, staff is recommending that the City Council reconsider approving staff to submit a $500,000 application by the April 9, 2024, deadline for the continuation of the City’s First Time Low Income Homebuyer program (FTHB). Two and a half percent (2.5%) of the grant is allowed for general administration and another six and a half percent (6.5%) can be utilized for activity delivery costs associated with the projects funded. The City is able to apply for this amount of funding since the typical 25% match requirement is being waived in this round of funding.

Item No. 7.

In applying for these HOME funds, the City is taking measures to implement programs outlined in the State and certified Porterville Housing Element, and the 2020 Five-Year Consolidated Plan.

RECOMMENDATION: That City Council:

1. Adopt the draft Resolution approving the submittal of a HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funding
application for $500,000 for the continuation of the First Time Low Income Homebuyer Program;

2. Authorize the Mayor to execute all documents pertaining to the HOME program; and

3. Authorize the Community Development Director to execute, in the name of the City of Porterville, project drawdown requests, and all other administrative documents required by the California Department of Housing and Community Development or the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development for
administration of the HOME Program.

Item No. 13.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – MARCH 19, 2024
SUBJECT: North Grand Conditional Use Permit (PRC No. 21-2028-C) and Tentative Parcel Map Public Hearing Continuance
SOURCE: Community Development
BACKGROUND: n/a
COMMENT: The applicant proposes to subdivide the existing 8.52± acre parcel APN 243-190-018 into four parcels ranging from 0.86 to 3.94 acres for commercial development. At this time, the applicant only proposes development on Parcel 3, the southwestern parcel that has been proposed.

The proposed development consists of a 7,200-square-foot commercial building for a convenience store, including off-sale beer and wine sales with a drive-thru facility. A service station with 10 multi-product fuel dispensers would be located along the North Grand Avenue frontage just south of the store. Both service stations and uses involving the sale of alcohol are subject to approval of a conditional use permit. The request for alcohol sales is consistent with a Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer and Wine) license, subject to issuance by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC).

If the CUP is approved, any future changes to the approved site plan and/or operation would require approval by the City Council. In the event that conditions of approval are violated, the City Council may modify or revoke the CUP at its discretion, as outlined in Porterville Development Ordinance, Section 601.10, Revocation of Approvals.

ANALYSIS: The site is designated CR (Retail Centers) by the General Plan Land Use Element and is zoned CR (Retail Centers). This designation and zone are intended to provide for a wide variety of commercial uses. The proposed project, including a convenience store, food and beverage retail sales, alcohol sales, and retail gasoline sales would suit the purpose of the zone designation. The convenience store is a permitted use in the CR Zone, and both alcohol sales and the service station may be permitted in that zone, with approval of the requested conditional use permit. It is not anticipated that this use would have a negative impact on the surrounding properties.

Conditions of approval are in place to protect public safety and interest.

The project also proposes to subdivide the property into four parcels. The Item No. 13.
division of the property would be required to comply with the development standards for the CR zone district, Porterville Development Ordinance Series 400, and the California Subdivision Map Act.

The applicant is conditioned to operate the establishment in such a manner as to preserve public safety, health, and welfare, to prevent the use from becoming a nuisance, and to operate the business in compliance with all laws, ordinances, and regulations regarding the sale of alcohol.

Furthermore, at all times the facility shall be operated and maintained to comply with State laws, the City of Porterville Development Ordinance, adopted Building Codes, and all other applicable laws and ordinances.

Porterville Development Ordinance Section 604.04 requires that the Council makes the following findings prior to approving a CUP:

RE: PRC 2021-028-C
Dear Ms. Weldon:

The City Council of the City of Porterville has elected to approve the submittal of this letter regarding the public convenience or necessity, to be served through issuance of a Type 20 (Offsale beer and wine) for a convenience store, located on parcel 3 at the NEC of Northgrand Avenue and Douglas Street (APN 243-190-053), Porterville, CA.

Approval of this letter was based on the following:

1. Per Section 23958.4 of the “Business and Professions Code,” the subject site is located within Census Tract 35.04, which allows four (4) on sale and five off-sale licenses. At the present time five (5) off-sale licenses currently exist in this tract.

Due to the over concentration of off-sale licenses a Letter of Public Convenience or Necessity was required.

2. On March 5, 2024, the City Council conditionally approved Conditional Use Permit (PRC 2021-028-C), review attached resolution, to allow the sale of beer and wine, for a convenience store to be located on parcel 3 at the NEC of Northgrand Avenue and Douglas Street (APN 243-190-053), Porterville, CA. As a condition of approval, a Letter of Public Convenience or Necessity was required to be approved by the City Council.

3. In consideration of the above, the City Council determined that public convenience or necessity would be served by the issuance of a Type 20 (On-Sale General – Public Premises) alcohol license in conjunction with a convenience store.

Further issuance of an off-sale license allowing the sale of beer and wine represents a viable economic asset to the community which will contribute tax revenues to the local economy. The site is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation of Retail Centers policies. The proposed Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer and Wine), alcohol license for a convenience store would suit the purpose of the zone designation as well as meeting the economic development guiding policy needed to retain, improve and promote existing businesses in Porterville. The convenience store is permitted in the CR (Retail centers) land use designation and alcohol sales may be permitted with review and approval of a Conditional Use Permit.

For these reasons, the City Council of the City of Porterville supports issuance of a Type 20 (OffSale Beer and Wine license for convenience store located on parcel 3 at the Northeast corner of Northgrand Avenue and Douglas Street (APN 243-190-053), Porterville, CA.

Sincerely,
Martha Flores, Mayor
