6.5. This Development Agreement, as adopted on ________ by City Ordinance No. _______.
7. Need for Services and Facilities . Development of the Property will result in a need for municipal services and facilities, some of which services and facilities will be provided by City to the Project subject to the performance of Landowners’ obligations hereunder. With respect to water, pursuant to Government Code Section 65867.5, any tentative map approved for the Property will comply with the provisions of Government Code 66473.7, if applicable.
8. Intent of the Parties; Public Benefit . The Parties desire to enter into this Agreement relating to the Property in conformance with the applicable provisions of state and local law in order to achieve the development of the Project in accordance with the Project Approvals , City ordinances and resolutions, and the Zoning Code, which together assure the health, safety, and general welfare of City and its existing and future residents . As a condition of approval, the Property, along with the Vista Oaks Subdivision and Highlands Parcel A projects, were conditioned to obtain rights of way and construct Monument Springs Drive, including the bridge, from China Garden Road to the Property (“Monument Springs Connection”). For numerous reasons, including the economic downturn in 2010, the Property has not yet fully developed, and construction of the Monument Springs Connection has been delayed. On June 22, 2021, City committed to ensure that the Monument Springs bridge is completed and allocated significant sums for this improvement that would be reimbursed, in part, through special tax assessments on the lots in the Property and properties in the Vista Oaks Subdivision and Highlands Parcel A . Extension of t he Project Approvals through this 283
4 Agreement will facilitate c ompletion of the Monument Springs Connection and thereby provide a public benefit and enable City to be reimbursed for the share of costs for the Monument Springs bridge attributable to the Property. City has determined that development of the Property in accordance with the Project Approvals , including this Agreement and ultimate construction of the Monument Springs Connection, provides clear public benefits that will accrue to the public and that may not otherwise be obtained to the same extent through applicable development approval processes.
9. Contribution to Costs of Facilities and Services . Landowner s agree to contribute to the costs of such public facilities and services as may be required herein to mitigate impacts on the community of the development of the Property, and City agrees to provide such public facilities and services as may be required herein to assure that Landowners may proceed with and complete development of the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. City and Landowner s recognize and agree that, but for Landowners ’ contributions to mitigate the impacts arising as a result of development entitlements granted pursuant to this Agreement, City would not and could not approve the extension of the Project Approvals as provided by this Agreement and that, but for City ’s covenant to provide certain facilities and services for development of the Property, Landowner s would not and could not commit to provide the mitigation as provided by this Agreement. City ’s vesting of the right to develop the Property as provided herein is in reliance upon and in consideration of Landowners ’ agreement to make contributions toward the cost of public improvements as herein provided to mitigate the impacts of development of the Property as development occurs.
10. Development Agreement Ordinance. City and Landowner s have taken all actions mandated by, and fulfilled all requirements set forth Chapter 17.92 of the City Zoning Code, establishing procedures for consideration of Development Agreements.
11. Consistency with General and Specific Plan .

2025 ANNUAL MILITARY EQUIPMENT REPORT
ASSEMBLY BILL 481
Contact: Luke Sincerny, Captain – Operations (916) 625-5444, [email protected]
BACKGROUND
AB 481
Assembly Bill 481 (“AB 481” or the “Bill”) was signed by Governor Newsom on September 30, 2021, and requires that law enforcement agencies obtain approval from the agency’s governing body prior to purchasing, raising funds for, or acquiring “military equipment”, using “military equipment”, and collaborating with other law enforcement agencies in the deployment or use of “military equipment” within the governing body’s territorial jurisdiction.
The term “military equipment”, as used in AB 481, in fact does not necessarily indicate equipment that has been used by the military, obtained from the military, or is even considered military grade. Pursuant to AB 481, items deemed to be “military equipment” include, but are not limited to, unmanned aerial or ground vehicles (i.e. drones or bomb disposal robots), armored vehicles, command post vehicles, battering rams, water cannons, pepper balls, “bean bag” launchers, “rubber bullets”, long range acoustic devices, and commonly used long rifles. The Bill’s stated intent is to increase transparency, accountability and oversight surrounding the acquisition and use of the designated “military equipment” by state and local law enforcement.
After initial approval by the governing body, AB 481 requires law enforcement agencies that receive approval for the use of “military equipment” to submit annual reports to the governing body regarding the use of the equipment, any complaints received, any internal audits or other information about violations of the military equipment use policy, the cost and quantity of each type of military equipment, and the quantity of military equipment if the agency intends to acquire additional military equipment in the next year. The governing body is required to review any ordinance it has adopted at least annually and vote on whether to renew the ordinance at a regular, public meeting.
Rocklin Police Department’s “Military Equipment” Policy
The Rocklin Police Department’s “Military Equipment” policy complies with AB 481 and is based on a model 356

policy utilized by many other law enforcement agencies in California. The “Military Equipment” policy is reviewed annually and published on the Rocklin Police Department’s website.
ANNUAL REPORTING
The Rocklin Police Department is required to prepare an annual report for its governing body on the status of the military equipment program. The report must be made publicly available on the department’s website for as long as the military equipment is available for use, and the report must include, at a minimum, all information as required by Government Code § 7072. This annual military equipment covers the period of January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025.
Use of Equipment
All “Military Equipment” maintained by the Rocklin Police Department is intended to be used to support law enforcement operations in order to safeguard the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties. Any Military Equipment used during the reporting period was consistent with such intended use and pursuant to the Department’s Military Equipment Policy. Attached as Appendix A to this report is a summary of the equipment used and the purpose of the use during the reporting period.
Civilian Complaint Reporting
The Rocklin Police Department maintains a procedure for citizens to report a complaint or concern associated with the Department. The Rocklin Police Department has not received any complaints from the public during the reporting period regarding the intended or actual use of Military Equipment or the Department’s Military Equipment Policy.
Internal Audits
The Rocklin Police Department has assigned a designee to act as the Military Equipment Coordinator. The Military Equipment Coordinator, among other duties, conducts an annual inventory of all equipment listed under the “Military Equipment” policy. The Rocklin Police Department has all equipment listed under this policy documented and accounted for. There have been no reports or complaints of violations of the Military Equipment Policy during the reporting period, and no internal audits have indicated any violations or misuse.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with equipment identified under the “Military Equipment” policy, as the equipment has already been acquired and / or budgeted for.

Staff Report
Subject:
Amendments to Rocklin Municipal Code Chapter 5.22 to Implement the Short-Term Rental Facilitator Act of 2025
Date:
April 14, 2026
Submitted By:
Ryan Taylor, Code Enforcement Program Manager
David Mohlenbrok, Community Development Director
Department:
Community Development
Recommendation:
Introduce, Waive the Full Reading and Read by Title Only, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Amending Chapter 5.22 of the Rocklin Municipal Code Related to Short- Term Rentals to Establish Reporting, Listing, and Audit Requirements Applicable to Short- Term Rental Facilitators.
Background:
The proposal is to amend Chapter 5.22 of the Rocklin Municipal Code (RMC) related to Short- Term Rentals to incorporate and implement the Short-Term Rental Facilitator Act of 2025 (Government Code §50990-50996). The California Legislature enacted the Short-Term Rental Facilitator Act of 2025 (the Act) to authorize local agencies to require short-term rental facilitators (commonly known as online hosting platforms) to provide identifying information necessary for enforcement of local transient occupancy taxes. Government Code Section 50990(b) specifies that the Act applies only upon adoption of a local ordinance making its provisions applicable within a jurisdiction.
The City of Rocklin currently regulates short-term rentals through RMC Chapter 5.22 and imposes a Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) pursuant to RMC Chapter 5.24 under authority granted by the California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 7280. While many facilitators voluntarily collect and remit TOT on behalf of hosts, the City’s ability to verify compliance and identify non-permitted rentals is limited without formal reporting authority. Adoption of this ordinance provides the statutory mechanism necessary to request verified location data and listing information from facilitators.
Summary of the Proposed Ordinance
:
The proposed ordinance amends provisions of Chapter 5.22 to require a short- term rental permit to be in compliance with the short-term rental facilitator reporting requirements and adds Sections 5.22.140 through 5.22.170 to facilitate the following requirements:
Item Number D2.
379
1. Reporting Requirements - authorizes the City to require facilitators to report, upon written request:
The physical address (including nine-digit ZIP code) of each short-term rental located within the City;
Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN), if necessary for identification; The URL associated with each listing;
Additional identifying information necessary to distinguish units within multifamily properties, accessory dwelling units, or timeshare properties.
Reporting may occur no more frequently than quarterly within a 12-month period unless monthly TOT remittance is required.
2. Listing Requirements - requires facilitators to include in each City-based listing:
The City-issued short-term rental permit number;
Any applicable local business license number;
The City-issued TOT registration or certification number.
Failure to include required information constitutes a violation of the Rocklin Municipal Code.
3. Audit Authority - authorizes the City to audit records documenting collection and remittance of TOT when a facilitator collects and remits tax pursuant to local ordinance or agreement.
The proposed ordinance will improve identification of non-permitted short-term rentals; increase accuracy of TOT reporting and remittance; strengthen compliance monitoring; reduce staff time spent conducting manual online investigations; align Rocklin with other California jurisdictions implementing similar enforcement tools; and, support revenue integrity by imposing new operational regulations on property owners not currently complying with TOT requirements applicable to short-term rentals.
The proposed ordinance provides a legally authorized and narrowly tailored mechanism to enhance enforcement of the City’s existing short-term rental and TOT regulations. It does not expand land use allowances or alter operational standards but instead strengthens reporting and compliance verification tools authorized by state law. The proposed ordinance does not modify existing operational standards, permit caps, zoning regulations, violation penalties or property performance requirements for short-term rental operators.
Environmental Analysis:
The proposed amendment to Chapter 5.22 of the Rocklin Municipal Code is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15060(c)(2) and 15061(b)(3), as the activity is not expected to result in a direct physical change, nor is it reasonably foreseeable to cause an indirect physical change to the environment.

This bill would authorize a local agency, defined to mean a city, county, or city and county, to enact an ordinance to require a short-term rental facilitator, as defined, to report, in the form and manner prescribed by the local agency, the physical address, including 9-digit ZIP Code, of each short-term rental, as de fined, during the reporting period. The bill would also authorize a local agency to request additional information, as provided, when the physical address is not suf ficient for the local agency to identify a specific short-term rental. The bill would authorize the local agency to impose an administrative fine or penalty for failure to file the report, and would authorize the local agency to initiate an audit of a short-term rental facilitator, as described. The bill would require a short-term rental facilitator, in a jurisdiction that has adopted an ordinance, to include in the listing of a short-term rental any applicable local license number associated with the short-term rental and any transient occupancy tax certi fication issued by a local agency. The bill would state these provisions do not preempt a local agency from adopting an ordinance that regulates short-term rentals, short-term rental facilitators, or the payment and collection of transient occupancy taxes in a manner that differs from those described in the bill.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. (a) Short-term rental facilitators are essentially online marketplaces that allow “guests” seeking accommodations and “hosts” offering accommodations to connect and enter rental agreements with one another.

(b) Many cities and counties impose a transient occupancy tax on guests who occupy those accommodations. The transient occupancy tax is payable with the host’s charge for the accommodation.
(c) It is the intent of the Legislature to authorize cities and counties to adopt an ordinance that requires a short-term rental facilitator to transmit information that allows cities and counties to effectively enforce the payment of transient occupancy taxes by guests in these accommodations. (d) As determined by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in HomeAway.com, Inc. v. City of Santa Monica (9th Cir. 2019) 918 F.3d 676, requiring the transmittal of this information violates neither the federal Communications Decency Act nor the First Amendment.
