Reso. No. 2025-
location(s) of any raptor or other bird nests observed on the project site.

If the above su rvey does not identify any nesting species on th e project site, no further mitigation shall be required. However, should any spec ies be found nesting on the project site, the foll owing mitigation measure shall be implemented.

iv) The p roject applicant, in consultation with the City of Rocklin and CDFW, sh all avoid all nest sites located in the project site durin g the breeding season while the nest is occupied w ith adults and/or young. The occupied nest shall be monitored by a qualified biologist to determine when the nest is no longer used. Avoidance shall include the establishment of a non -disturbance buffer zon e around the nest site. Specifically, if active ra ptor or tricolored blackbird nests are found, construction activities shall n ot take place within 500 feet of the nest/colony until the young have fledged. If active nests for any othe r bird covered under t he MBTA are found, a 100 -foot non -disturbance buff er shall be established until the young have fledged. These non -disturbance b uffers may be reduced if a smaller buffer, along with nest monitoring ( if applicable), is proposed by the q ualified project biolo gist and approved by the City. The reduced buffer distance shall take into consideration the natural history of the species of bird nesting, the proposed activity level adjacent to the nest, habitua tion to existing or ongoing activity , and nest concealment (are there visual or acoustic barriers between th e proposed activity and the nest). The qualified project biologist can visit the nest as needed to determine when the young have fledged the nest an d are independent of the site or the nest can be left undi sturbed until the end of the nesting season. Const ruction activities may only resume within the buffer zone after a follow -up survey by the qualified project biologist has been conducted and a repor t has been prepared indicating that the nest (or nests) are no longer active.

Should construction activiti es cause a nesting bird to vocalize, make defensive flights at intruders, get up from a brooding position, or fly off the nest in a manner that woul d be considered a result of construction activities, then the established exclusionary buffer shall be increased such that activities are far enough from the nest to stop agitated behav ior. The exclusionary buffer shall remain in place until the chicks hav e fledged or as otherwise determined by the qualified project biologist in consultation with the City.

680

Reso. No. 2025-
v) If a legally protected species nest is located in a tree designated for removal, the removal shall be deferred until after September 1st or until the adults and young are no longer dependent on the nest site as determined by a qualified biologist.

The City Council of the City of Rocklin does resolve as follows:

Section 1. The City Council of the City of Rocklin finds and determines that:

A. Tentative Map ( SD2024-0001) and Oak Tree Preservation Plan Permit (TRE2024-0001) allows the subdivision of three (3) parcels, described as Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs) 016-210-011, 016-240-039 and -044 for the development of 170 single-family units on 12.85± acres . A total of 198 ± lots will be created within the subdivision map inc luding one hundred and seventy ( 170) single-family residential lots, two (2) open space lots, nine (9) alley lots, one (1) private street lot, and sixteen (16) landscape lots.

B. The Whitney Walk Residential Project Initial Study/ Addendum, prepared pursuant to Section 15164 of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, verified that the project will have no impacts beyond those identified in the Sunset Hills Townhomes and South Whitney Mixed -Use Initial Studies/Mitigated Negative Declarations and therefore has been approved via City Council Resolution No.2025-__.

C. The City Council has considered the effect of the approval of this subdivision on the housing needs of the region, and has balanced those needs against the public service needs of its residents and available fiscal and environmental resources.

The subdivision would facili tate the development of the parcel s which are zoned and designated for high density residential development.

D. The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the zoning classification on the property. The zoning of the project site is Planned Development Residential (PD-R) and Open Area (OA) . This tentative parcel map application would create 198 lots, consistent with the applicable development standards of those zoning designations.

E. The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs in the City of Rocklin's General Plan. The project site is designated as High-Density Residential (HDR) and Recreation/Conservation (R -C) in the Rocklin General Plan and the creation of 198 lots is consistent with those land use designations.

B. Since the approval of the above -mentioned GDPs in 2015 and 2016, the property ownership has changed and the current property owner has submitted planning entitlements for the development of the Whitney Walk Residential project, to allow for the development of three parcels with 170 single -family units on 12.85± acres. A portion of one of the subject parcels is located within the South Whitney Mixed Use GDP area. The rest of the project is located in the Sunset Hills Townhomes GDP area.

C. To allow for the proposed Whitney Walk Residential project to proceed, the applicant is requesting that the City Council repeal the ordinance that established the current Sunset Hills Townhomes GDP (Ordinance No. 1036), repeal the ordinance that established the South Whitney Mixed Use GDP (Ordinance No. 1052), and adopt the Whitney Walk General Development Plan (PDG2024 -0002), which would include Assessor’s Parcel Number s (APNs) 016-210-011-000 and 016 -240-044-000, and a portion of APN 016-240-039-000 (approximately 1.6 acres) (Exhibit A).

D. The adoption of the proposed general development plan would not create serious health problems or create nuisances on properties in the vicinity. The proposal would allow for the combined and uniform development of these properties.

E. The proposed general development plan would not impact housing density on the affected parcels as the required density would remain the same.

Department:

City Manager's Office
Recommendation:

Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Approving a Professional Services Agreement for the Continuation of the Build Up Rocklin Program, Establishing a Grant Program in Support of Participating Businesses, and Approving a Budget Amendment.

Background:

The Build Up Rocklin program was established with a total of $300,000 in funding from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to support local business recovery and long-term resilience in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. This funding was divided between two phases of the program, both administered through a partnership with the Growth Factory.

The first phase was approved by the City Council on June 28, 2022, launching a pilot business support cohort designed to help Rocklin-based businesses overcome growth challenges and improve operational stability. Following the positive feedback and strong results from participating businesses, a second cohort was assembled in 2024 using the remaining funds.

Across both program phases a total of 20 Rocklin businesses were selected to participate.

Each received targeted training through the cohort model and was awarded a $5,000 grant to support the implementation of their growth strategies.

Following the success of the previous rounds and continued positive feedback from participating companies, staff recommends extending this initiative to further support the City’s economic development goals and business community through a new Build Up Rocklin Program.

The Program, developed by staff and the Growth Factory, is an economic development initiative designed to engage, empower, and accelerate established Rocklin-based companies. Specifically, it supports businesses that:

Item Number D1.

758
Are located in Rocklin;
Employ at least five (5) full-time staff; and
Generate at least $500,000 in annual revenue.

Through this approach the City will be investing its limited economic development funds in the small businesses that are currently operating in the space that historically generates the most economic growth. It also supports the Strategic Plan's Vibrant Pillar objective by supporting efforts to retain and expand local businesses as well as the foundational pillar to enhance business retention efforts.

As identified in the Scope of Work (Exhibit A to Attachment 2), the Consultant will design and execute a structured business acceleration program
to help established Rocklin-based
businesses overcome growth hurdles through a mix of coordinated peer learning, targeted coaching, and access to strategic resources – including grant capital. The program will be tailored to CEOs and founders leading Rocklin-based companies who are poised to level up operations and growth execution while retaining their presence in Rocklin. The Program will leverage proven frameworks, peer accountability, and local grants to unlock real outcomes for committed founders.

The cost to implement and administer the Build Up Rocklin Program is $125,000 over a two year period. In addition, a grant program totaling up to $125,000 will be established to support growth initiatives proposed by participating businesses. Each selected business may apply for and receive up to $25,000 in grant funding, subject to City Manager review and approval.

Grant awards will be tied to clearly defined growth objectives and outcomes as part of the overall program structure. Participants are not guaranteed to receive funding at the completion of the program.

Continuing the Build Up Rocklin program represents a strategic investment in Rocklin’s economic future. It builds upon proven success, supports local job creation, and reinforces the City’s role as a proactive partner in business growth.

Staff recommends approval of the agreement with Growth Factory to continue this impactful program.

Fiscal Impact:

Under this agreement, the City will pay $125,000 to Growth Factory for the administration, delivery, and oversight of the Build Up Rocklin program over a two-year period. Up to an additional $125,000 will also be provided for the grant program.

Funds for both the program
administration and grant allocation will be drawn from the City’s Economic Development Fund (122).

City of Rocklin 2025-2027 Strategic Plan
Date:

August 12, 2025
Submitted By:

Andrew Keys, Assistant City Manager
Department:

City Manager's Office
Recommendation:

Affirm the Outcomes of the 2025-2027 Strategic Planning Process and Provide Direction to Staff on the Proposed Two-Year Work Plan Items.

Background:

On March 18, 2025, the City Council conducted a Strategic Planning Workshop to establish goals and priorities for the 2025/26 and 2026/27 fiscal years. Building on the 2023-2025 Strategic Plan, the session included participation from City staff and community members and focused on refining the City’s strategic direction.

The City's five foundational Strategic Pillars -- Resilient, Vibrant, Livable, Sustainable, Safe -- were reaffirmed with one minor edit to the definitions to better reflect evolving community needs and priorities. The Strategic Plan and underlying workplan are long term aspirational documents. Due to this nature, some workplan objectives are developed that are ongoing or will take longer than one two-year planning period to approve. During the workshop, the City Council and staff identified key initiatives from the current (2023-2025) Work Plan that remain ongoing or incomplete. Given the City Council’s reaffirmation of the same Strategic Pillars, these ongoing and/or incomplete 2023-2025 items are recommended for continued inclusion in the upcoming 2025 – 2027 Strategic Plan (Attachment 1). In addition, new Work Plan items were introduced, reflecting both emerging priorities and strategic opportunities.

The 2025 - 2027 Work Plan also introduces a tiered structure to better categorize City initiatives. Work Plan items are grouped into one of the following categories:

Foundational
– Core services and ongoing operations.

Strategic
– Focused improvements, policy updates, or mid-term initiatives.

Visionary
– Long-term, ambitious, or transformational goals.

This updated 2025-2027 Work Plan will serve as a guiding tool to inform the strategic use of human and fiscal resources during the upcoming two-year budget cycle. Staff will continue to provide updates to the Work Plan as projects come forward, as well as during quarterly budget updates presented to the City Council.

Item Number D2.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the 2025-2027 Strategic Plan; however, funding to achieve specific workplan projects has been included in the City's Operating Budget over the next two fiscal years.

Subject:

Inclusionary Housing Ordinance and In-Lieu Fee Program
Date:

August 12, 2025
Submitted By:

Aly Zimmermann, City Manager
Department:

City Manager's Office
Recommendation:

A
.

Receive a Staff Report of the Possible Timeframes that Could Be Implemented for Potential Adoption of an Inclusionary Housing Program and Provide Direction to Staff.

B
.

Adopt a
Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Approving and Authorizing the City Manager to Negotiate and Execute a Contract Amendment with Keyser Marston Associates for the Creation of an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance and Establishment of an In-Lieu Fee.

Background:

On June 24 2025, the City Council had a discussion regarding the current efforts underway to evaluate a possible inclusionary housing ordinance and in-lieu fee program, and whether to direct staff to immediately undertake efforts to bring for consideration an ordinance and in-lieu fee recommendation at the earliest possible date. Following the discussion, the City Council provided direction to staff to bring back information that identified the timeframes that each alternative would take. Additionally, staff requested of the consultant undertaking the project an accelerated project schedule and associated cost.

The existing project, authorized by the City Council in April 2025, assumes that the project would go to the Planning Commission and the City Council for two rounds each (fee study and ordinance going separately), resulting in many months in review and hearings. Presented below are the existing approved project schedule hearing dates (status quo), followed by the accelerated consultant project timeline with the fee study and ordinance considered concurrently (Option 1), and the timeline for an immediately implemented interim staff project that does not include a fee study (Option 2). The cost to implement Option 1 is anticipated to be between $8,000 and $10,000.

Status Quo (Existing Consultant Project Schedule)
PC Hearing #1 November 2025 (Fee Study review)
CC Hearing #1 December 2025 (Fee Study review)
PC Hearing #2 January 2026 (Ordinance and Fee Study Review and Recommendation) Item Number D5.

830
CC Hearing #2 February 2026 (Introduce Ordinance and Fee Study Approval) CC Meeting March 2026 (Second Reading of Ordinance and Fee Implementation) Ordinance Implementation April 2026
Option 1 (Accelerated Consultant Project Schedule)
PC Hearing #1 November 2025 (Ordinance and Fee Study Review and Recommendation)
CC Hearing #1 December 2025 (Introduce Ordinance and Fee Study Approval) CC Meeting January 2026 (Second Reading of Ordinance and Fee Implementation) Ordinance Implementation February 2026
Option 2 (Interim Staff Project)
PC Hearing #1 September 16 2025 (Ordinance Review and Recommendation) CC Hearing #1 October 14 2025 (Introduce Ordinance and Adoption of Fee Program) CC Meeting October 28 2025 (Second Reading of Ordinance) Ordinance Implementation Late November 2025
It should be noted that each timeline is estimated; schedules can slip due to many reasons causing delays.

Staff recommends pursuing Option 1, as the acceleration of the schedule at a nominal cost will allow the City Council to expedite the project.

Option 2 could also be completed as an interim, short-term approach pending completion of the consultant-led project, based on direction from the City Council. Costs associated with Option 2 would include public noticing and impact to staff resources.

Therefore, staff seeks direction regarding any changes from the Status Quo timeline and, if supportive of Option 1, staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an amendment with Keyser Marston Associates to accelerate their project schedule in amount not to exceed $10,000.

Fiscal Impact:

The cost to amend the existing contract with Keyser Marston Associates is estimated to be not more than $10,000. There is no impact to the General Fund. Contract costs will be paid from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund (270)
