STUDY SESSION
25-199 Joint Study Session: Draft General Plan Update - Visión Salinas 2040 Received report from Jonathan Moor regarding the Draft General Plan Update – Vision Salinas 2040, quarterly progress reports to City Council. Throughout the process, staff held Study Sessions with City Council and Planning Commission to review draft policy on rising topics, including land use and circulation, health and safety and economic development. This Study Session focuses on the General Plan in its entirety and summarizes the update process, changes to state planning law, major themes and significant new additions to the document. The City is preparing a Public Review Draft of the General Plan for release this summer and is also w orking on the related Climate Action Plan and an Environmental Impact Report for both documents.
Commissioner Purnell inquired about the origin of data source used in the AMBAG population projections in the plan specifically related to age demographics and potential impacts on housing.
Additionally, she inquired about the distribution of land use designation and zoning ratios.
2 Mr. Moore explained that the city uses a ratio of three acres per thousand residents for open space.
Through the planning process staff can look at opportunities to increase the open space. He also added that Census data is use to make projections on population growth.
Commissioner Rocamora asked what progress has been made since the initial Economic Development (ED) Plan was implemented. He also asked about the slow growth of housing development.
Mr Moore clarified that since the EDE was adopted, the City has been able address the environmental impacts on specific neighborhoods and launched community planning efforts throughout the city including the Chinatown and Alisal areas that will become part of the overall general plan.
Community Development Director Lisa Brinton added that housing construction is di ctated by the fluctuations in the market and delays in the adoption of the specific plans. The City is passed that phase and the city has received application for over 5,400 homes and over 1,600 units planned for development. She added that the city is understaffed and are diligently working on increasing staffing to increase permit processing. Additionally, there is a need to update the zoning code t o more efficiently streamline the permitting process.
Chair McKelvey-Day asked for clarification regarding AB 821, General Plan and the connection with the zoning code and asked why the EDE was optional. She noted the importance of linking community involvement with economic and planning processes to ensure everyone can understand the plan and emphasizing greater engagement with commissions and long- term financial and economic planning with other portions of the general plan.
In response, Mr. Moore c larified that it is important to update the zoning code in tandem with the General Plan to ensure that implementation can be accomplished seamlessly and without confusion. It also creates an opportunity to elevate key elements of the plan all in one document. He added that the EDE is not required by state law to be included in the General Plan.
Mr. Brinton added that the development process helps ensure cons istency among all elements of the plan. The plan was prepared in-house in collaboration with staff and the community to develop goals, policies, and actions as part of a work plan or strategic plan that will prepare the roadmap to the implementation of the general p lan. Mrs. Brinton added that the General Plan will r equire state reporting and reports to Council.
Commissioner Wruck expressed concern regarding the limited connection between the Climate Action Plan, parks, the lack of open space, and the use of walkability spaces. She recommended open space and walkability spaces should be required as part of the plan. She noted that the rising cost of housing production may be the leading factor to lack of housing production.
Commissioner Meeks asked whether birth rates are factored into school enrollment projections.
Mr. Moore indicated that birth rate, death rate, migration rates and a number of other demographics are taking into account to plan the future growth area.
3 Councilmember D ’Arrigo asked for clarification if Arts and Culture Element are added into the General Plan and expressed support of ensuring that the “ optional” elements are being added to the General Plan including the Public Sa fety Element. She asked for clarification regarding the zonging code update process.
Mrs. Brinton clarified that the City Council will need to authorize contracting a consultant to support he work and then will work on establishing an advisory committee with stakeholder groups and public engagement.
Councilmember De La Rosa stated it is important to work with key stakeholders in the community as part of the General Plan process.
Councilmember Salazar asked when 600 housing units will be available. He also asked about coordination with other cities regarding traffic circulation and housing.
Mrs. Brinton explained that the City is finalizing the Final Map and working with the developer as model home applications are submitted. Mr. Moore clarified that coordination with other neighboring cities was a key part of the Housing Element and remains an ongoing effort.
Councilmember Barajas referenced annexation and target areas added to the General Plan and the sphere of influence and asked for clarification regarding the economic reserve areas. He also requested an explanation regarding the maintenance assessment districts and further asked why bike paths were removed from the circulation plan and suggested reinstating the eastern bicycle path for continuity.
In response, Mr. Moore and Mrs. Brinton explained that the full map will include the added target areas and annexed areas identified for growth for both the City and County which the city will work with LAFC O to increase the sphere of influence. They also explained that establishment of an assessment district function like lighting and landscape districts or a road maintenance district will fall under the Proposition 218 process.
City Manager Rene Mendez responded that such projects can be factored in to associated infrastructure and housing costs.
Councilmember Barajas recommended removing housing eviction references from the environmental justice element due to recent Council actions.
Councilmember Barrera asked about consistency between past and current Councils. He also asked how Council could support Community Development and whether staff retention or funding is an issue. Additionally, he inquired about the relationship between the city and stakeholder as it related to the Alisal Marketplace.
In response, Mr. Moore confirmed that the General Plan and other planning documents maintain policy consistency. He added that recent land use changes and renewed engagement with local businesses has increased flexibility and relationships with key community stakeholders. Mrs. Brinton a dded that ensuring budget allocations to Community Development for t his effort is critical. City Manager Mendez emphasized that the General Plan defines the City’s future and must be reviewed carefully, given the complexity of required environmental analyses. The City of Salinas has done incredible work on various planning efforts, and it is important for them to be reflected in the general plan.
4 In closing Councilmember Barrera also asked about bicycle lane maintenance and recommended adding maintenance to the safety component of the plan.
Councilmember Sandoval asked about seawater intrusion and further inquired about identifying pesticide impacts to the community. He additionally asked if staffing needs could be included in the General Plan.

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: OCTOBER 28, 2025
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS
FROM: DAVID JACOBS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
BY: JENNY DAVILA, PUBLIC WORKS ADMIN SUPERVISOR
TITLE: AMENDMENT NO. 2 WITH PEDRO C. ESTRADA DBA ESTRADA
JANITORIAL SERVICES FOR CITY-WIDE JANITORIAL
SERVICES
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 2 to the City-Wide Janitorial Services Agreement with Pedro C. Estrada dba Estrada Janitorial Services to add:
1. Ensen Community Park, the Hebbron Family Center, additional services to John Steinbeck Library, and for extra services to the city-wide janitorial scope of work;
2. Increase the annual compensation by $41,540 for a total annual not to exceed amount of $840,320; and
3. Extend the terms of the current Agreement for one additional year.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On August 17, 2025, the City opened Ensen Community Park and is preparing to open the new Hebbron Family Center in the near future. Both locations will require janitorial services. Staff has also determined that additional services are required at John Steinbeck Library. To accommodate this expanded scope , an increase to the existing janitorial services agree ment is necessary. The current agreement is set to expire on December 1, 2025; however, Estada Janitorial Services has submitted an extension request.
BACKGROUND:
On June 21, 2022, a Request for Proposals (RFP) for City-Wide Janitorial Services was published via Planet Bids, an online bidding tool. A total of 45 vendors were notified, subsequently 13 registered as prospective bidders. A pre -proposal conference, attended by seven prospective bidders, was held on June 30. Proposals were due on July 22, at which time nine vendors submitted proposals for evaluation.
Page | 2
An evaluation committee, comprised of six, cross -departmental City staff members, was formed.
The committee conducted a thorough evaluation of the proposals, based on the criteria set forth in the RFP. Proposals’ rates were then evaluated using a points method and a final score assigned to each respondent per facility group. With the Points method, the proposal with the lowest cost does not necessarily receive the maximum points allowed but rather is based on all 4 categories scored.
Any local vendor was allotted a 10% -point increase as identified in the RFP. After careful evaluation, staff determined that the Janitorial services agreement should be awarded to Estrada’s Janitorial Service. The airport location decided that they will not be servicing that location as part of the city-wide janitorial agreement.
On December 3, 2024, Amendment No. 1 was approved by council, (N.C.S. 23176), adding seven additional facilities and extra work services to the original approved agreement. Amendment No. 1, increased by $61,800 bringing the annual not to exceed amount to $798,780.
The City of Salinas has recently acquired and opened Ensen Community P ark and anticipates opening the new Hebbron Family Center in December of 2025. Both facilities require janitorial services. Given that Closter Park and the Natividad Creek Park restrooms are under construction, janitorial services will be temporarily shifted to Ensen Community Park. This shift will help cover the cost of janitorial services through the term of the proposed agreement extension.
In addition, staff has determined that the John Steinbeck Library requires monthly pressure washing services for its patron entrance to address persistent odors and to remove waste and debris commonly left behind by unhoused individuals. Furthermore, extra services are necessary to address unforeseen sanitation issues, such as individuals using public areas for restroom purposes, which require more frequent and intensive cleaning efforts. The chart below illustrates the added services and costs associated with the addition:
Facility Annual Cost
Ensen Community Park $0 (Coast offset by Closter &
Natividad Creek Parks restroom
construction)
Hebbron Family Center $27,540
John Steinbeck Library $4,000
Additional Services $10,000
Total $41,540
The addition of facilities and services will increase the annual total compensation total by $41,540 for a total not to exceed amount of $840,320.
The City relies upon professional janitorial services to maintain its facilities clean and ready for the public and staff to utilize. The City and Pedro C. Estrada dba Estrada Janitorial Services have developed a good working relationship, with Pedro C. Estrada being reliable, responsive, and easy to work with. The current agreement is set to expire on December 1, 2025. Therefore, staff is requesting authorization for the City Manager to extend the agreement for one additional year.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:
Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).
In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 1537 8, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.
CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:
No.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
This Action supports the City of Salinas Strategic Plan Goals and Strategies of Economic Development, Infrastructure, City Services, Public Safety, and Youth and Seniors by maintaining City facilities clean for the public and staff.
DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:
The Environmental Maintenance Division within the Public Works Department worked alongside the Library and Community Services Department in the preparation of the Amendment.

TITLE: AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE 2025 CALIFORNIA
BUILDING STANDARDS CODE, 2024 INTERNATIONAL
PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE AND LOCAL
AMENDMENTS
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to adopt an ordinance to implement the 2025 California Building Standards Code and the 2024 International Property Maintenance Code, including related local amendments.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Every three years, the City adopts the latest edition of the California Building Standards Code and International Property Maintenance Code to maintain consistent minimum standards that protect public health, safety, and general welfare within the built environment. Th e California Building Standards Code is a comprehensive code which includes multiple parts, such as the California Fire Code and the California Green Building Standards Code. The California Building Standards Commission published the 2025 edition on July 1, 2025, with an effective date of January 1, 2026.
The International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) provides industry best practices to ensure that buildings are safe, sanitary, and habitable for occupants while maintaining the integrity of the property. Our jurisdiction is authorized to adopt local amendments to both Codes to address the unique local climatic, topographic, and geological conditions of Salinas.
Page | 2
BACKGROUND:
The City of Salinas last adopted a new code cycle on December 6, 2022, implementing the 2022 California Building Standards Code (CBSC), which took effect on January 1, 2023 . At that time, the City also adopted local amendments to the California Green Building Standards Code related to construction debris recycling requirements and the California Fire Code was amended concurrently to reflect Salinas’ unique local climatic, topographic, and geological conditions. In addition, the City adopted the 2021 edition of the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) to ensure that buildings are safe, sanitary, and habitable for occupants while maintaining the integrity of the property.
2025 Code Cycle
Alongside adoption of the 2025 edition of the CBSC, the City is adopting the 2024 edition of the IPMC. The updated IPMC continues to serve as the framework for enforcing minimum maintenance standards for existing structures, including requirements related to equipment, lighting, ventilation, heating, sanitation, and fire safety. It also outlines property owner responsibilities, regulates the use of existing buildings, and provides procedures for enforcement and penalties.
With the adoption of the California Building Standards Code by reference, the City may adopt local amendments as reasonably necessary based on climatic, topographical, or geological conditions, as authorized under Health and Safety Code Section 18941.5 (Building Standards Law), Section 17958 (State Housing Law) as modified under Assembly Bill No. 130 (Chapter 22, Statutes of 2025) Sections 29–31, and Section 13143.5. AB 130 aims to streamline the residential permitting process by establishing a six -year freeze on local building code modifications for residential construction from October 1, 2025, to June 1, 2031 , except for emergency standards deemed necessary to protect health and safety, changes related to wildfire building hardening efforts or streamlining of the permitting process.
Salinas’ local amendments to the CBSC are carried over from the previous code cycle amendments. Permit Services continued two changes. The first establishes a program to recover and divert materials from construction, deconstruction, and demolition, which aligns wit h CALGreen requirements and the Salinas Valley Solid Waste Authority ’s process . The second streamlines the rooftop solar process, which is required by the Solar Rights Act, as amended by Assembly Bill 2188 (Chapter 521, Statutes 2014).
A new 2025 California Fire Code amendment includes the removal of a prior amendment to Section 903.2 requiring fire sprinklers to be installed in existing non-sprinklered buildings when constructing additions based the submission and approval of alternate materials and methods by the Building Official and the Fire Marshal. Other Fire Code amendments previously adopted are modified only to reflect the structure and language changes of the 2025 edition of the California Fire Code for regulation of items like fireworks, and flammable and combustible liquid aboveground storage tanks.
Page | 3
Last code cycle the City adopted the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code without any local amendments. Proposed amendments to the 2024 IPMC provide clarifications such as naming the Code Enforcement Division, referencing the section of the Salinas M unicipal Code which contains fees, and a more complete definition of an unlawful structure based on local experience.
To implement the 2025 CSBC and 2024 IPMC and local amendments, the City adopts an ordinance, provided as an attachment, which codifies the changes in Chapters 9 and 13 of the Salinas Municipal Code for the regulation and the governance of the conditions and maintenance of all property, buildings, and structures; for the standards for supplied utilities and facilities and other physical things and conditions essential to ensure that structures are safe, sanitary, and fit for occupation and use; for the condemnation of buildings and structures unfit for human occupancy and use and the demolition of structures; and for the issuance of permits and the collection of fees.
CEQA CONSIDERATION:
Not a Project . The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).
Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.
CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:
No.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
Adoption of the 2025 California Building Standards Code , 2024 and local amendments supports the City Council’s 2025-2028 Vision and Strategic Goals by promoting safe and sustainable housing development, ensuring that new construction meets modern public safety standards. The ordinance enhances infrastructure quality through updated building requirements, while local amendments reflect Salinas -specific needs, improving the delivery of city services. By streamlining building regulations, the ordinance also supports economic development through clearer permitting process es and reduced delays for residential and commercial projects.
Additionally, the updated standards help create safer, more accessible environments that benefit youth and seniors in the community.
DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:
The report was developed through close collaboration between the Community Development and Fire Departments to ensure alignment with both building and fire safety standards. Input from both departments helped shape the proposed local amendments to reflect Salinas’ specific operational needs and public safety priorities.

FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:
Adoption of the 2025 California Building Standards Code , 2024 International Property Maintenance Code, and related local amendments will not have a fiscal impact on the City’s budget. Fees are collected to recover costs associated with plan check and inspection for all building permits.

1 Attachment A – Findings and Explanations
ATTACHMENT “A”
FINDINGS and EXPLANATIONS
FOR REVISION OF THE CITY OF SALINAS FIRE DEPARTMENT AMENDMENTS TO THE 2025 CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS TITLE 24, PART 9
As required by Health and Safety Code sections 17958 and 18941.5, the City of Salinas does herewith make express findings that amendments to the 2025 California Fire Code are ne cessary for the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare due to certain climatic, topographic, or geological features existing in the City of Salinas.
The following matrix lists the City of Salinas amendments and the corresponding express fin dings.
Minor editorial changes or typographical corrections to the Fire Code are not shown in these findings.
The full texts of the proposed California Fire Code amendments are shown in Ordinance Article II of Chapter 13 of the Salinas City Code.
Definitions:
Climatic The average course or condition of the weather at a particular place over a period of many years, as exhibited in absolute extremes, means and frequencies of given departures from these means (i.e., of temperature, wind velocity, precipitation and other weather elements).
Topography The configuration of landmass surface, including its relief (elevation) and the position of its natural and man-made features that affect the ability to cross or transit a terrain.
Geological Scientific study of the Earth, in cluding its composition, structure, physical properties, and history. Geology is commonly divided into sub-disciplines concerned with the chemical makeup of the Earth
Webster’s Third New California Dictionary.
Climatic Considerations:
There are two types of climates: macro and micro. A macroclimate affects an entire region and gives the area a general environmental context. A microclimate is a specific variation that could be related to the other two factors, topography and geography. A microclimate may cover a relatively small area or be able to encompass an entire community, as opposed to another community in the same county.
Climatic consideration should be given to the extremes, means, and anomalies of the following weather elements:
1. Temperatures
2. Relative humidity
3. Precipitation and flooding conditions
4. Wind speed and duration of periods of high velocity
5. Wind direction
6. Fog and other atmospheric conditions.
2 Attachment A – Findings and Explanations
Topographical Considerations:
Topographic considerations should be given to the presence of the following topographical elements:
1. Elevation and ranges of elevation
2. Location of ridges, drainages and escarpments
3. Percent of grade (slope)
4. Location of roads, bridges and railroads
5. Other topographical features, such as aspect exposure
This information becomes an important part of creating an analysis of flood prone because topography and elevations are key elements (along with access roads) that create the need for fixed fire protection requirements in this code.
Geological Considerations:
Geological considerations should be evaluated to determine the relationship between man -made improvements (creating an exposure) and factors such as the following:
1. Fuel types, concentration in a mosaic and distribution of fuel types
2. Earthquake fault zone
3. Hazardous material routes
4. Artificial boundaries created by jurisdictional boundaries
5. Vulnerability of infrastructure to damage by climate and topographical concerns
Earthquake fault zones are the final component of the finding s that suggest the need for fixed fire protection systems in a jurisdiction.

5 Attachment A – Findings and Explanations
Findings for the Fire Code
Finding 1
The City of Salinas is situated in the Salinas Valley on California’s Central Coast in between the Santa Lucia and Gabilan mountain ranges. Potential flood conditions are a concern in the City of Salinas.
The most flood prone areas include either side of the creeks, in the vicinity of the airport, and the reclamation ditch which runs northwest -southwest through the City. The Natividad Creeks and Carr Lake are also prone to flooding during more intense storms. Flood in the low, central areas of the City of Salinas would affect the direct movement of fire apparatus. Two large fires at the same time during flood conditions would be disastrous. Automatic fire sprinklers may be the only fir e control inside buildings within the flood area. Any delay in structural firefighting could allow a fire on our many wood shake or wood shingled structures to quickly involve a number of buildings. Additional fire apparatus and equipment from other communities responding on a mutual aid request may not be able to reach some fire areas. Access could be obstructed due to flooded streets and/or damaged bridges.
Automatic fire sprinkler systems would reduce demands on firefighting forces and protect buildings, which may be otherwise inaccessible to the fire department during flood conditions.
Further, the flood conditions described above carry the potential for overcoming the ability of the fire department to aid or assist in evacuations, rescues, and the emergency tasks demands inherent in such situations. The potential for the aforementioned flooding conditions to result in limiting fire department emergency vehicular traffic, resulting in overtaxing fire department personnel, may further cause a substantial or total lack of protection against fire for the buildings and structures located within the jurisdiction.
Finding 2
All of Salinas is located within Seismic Design Category D according to Figure 1613.2(1) of the 2025 California Building Code. Category D consists of the second highest potential risk category due to the frequency and magnitude of earthquake activity nationwide. Seismic activity in this area occurs frequently and the real potential exists from four “ac tive” faults. The greatest seismic threats are the San Andreas, and Calaveras Faults. The potential effects of earthquake activity include isolating the City of Salinas from the surrounding area and restricting or eliminating internal circulation due to the potential for collapsing of highway overpasses and underpasses, along with other bridges in the district, and the potential for vertical movement rendering surface travel unduly burdensome or impossible. Should an earthquake occur, built-in fire protection such as automatic fire sprinklers will allow the fire department to concentrate its efforts on areas of severe damage while the sprinkler systems will contain fires in areas where the water system still has pressure. Reduction in size of aboveground storage tanks containing flammable and combustible liquids and explosive materials will enhance the ability to contain fire as the result of such conditions.
Finding 3
Highway 101 bisects the City of Salinas. Transportation vehicles carrying known toxi c, flammable, explosive, and hazardous materials heavily travel this highway. The potential for release or threatened release of a hazardous material along this route and others within the district is likely given the volume 6 Attachment A – Findings and Explanations
transported daily. Incidents of this nature will normally require all available emergency response personnel to prevent injury and loss of life and to prevent, as far as practicable, property loss.
Emergency personnel responding to such aforementioned incidents may be unduly impeded and delayed in accomplishing an emergency response as a result of this situation. With the potential result of undue and unnecessary risk to the protection of life and public safety and, in particular, endangering residents and occupants in buildings or structures without the protection of automatic fire sprinklers.
Finding 4
The City of Salinas is limited in its growth due to surrounding farmlands. This has caused high concentration of buildings and population density, whereby industrial areas of the Cit y encroach and are in close proximity to commercial thoroughfare, business and residential areas. Restricting or prohibiting the storage, handling and use of certain explosive materials and flammable and combustible liquids is a means to reduce the hazard to life.
Finding 5
Prevailing north/south winds in the Salinas Valley increase the danger of a fire spreading from the place of origin, thereby increasing the need for built-in fire protection.
2025 California
Building
Standards
Code Adoption
October 28, 2025
City Council
Angeline Anzini, Chief
Building Official
Summary
The California Building Standards Commission published the new California Building Standards Code, which is required to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This code establishes minimum requirements to safeguard public health, safety, and general welfare within the built environment.
The City is also adopting the 2024 edition of the International Property Maintenance Code which serves as the framework for enforcing minimum maintenance standards for existing
structures.
Jurisdictions can make amendments to this code based on local climatic, topographical or geological conditions.
Background
Every three years, the California Building Standards
Commission publishes the new California Building Standards Code.
Codes are published in July to take effect on January 1st on the subsequent year.
The City last adopted the 2022 California Building Standards Code and 2021 International Property Maintenance Code on December 6, 2022.
Amendments
AB 130 became effective July 1st, 2025.
This law establishes a freeze on local building code
modifications for residential construction from October 1, 2025, to June 1, 2031.
Modifications for commercial construction are not frozen. Cities and counties can only modify building standards applicable to residential units if they meet specific criteria:
Emergency standard to protect health and safety
Wildfire building hardening efforts
Streamline the permitting process
Local
Amendments
Permit Services retained the two amendments adopted last code cycle:
One established a program to recover and divert materials from construction, deconstruction, and demolition, which aligns with the California Green Building requirements.
The second streamlines the rooftop solar process, which is required by the Solar Rights Act, as amended by AB 2188 (Chapter 521, Statutes 2014).
The Fire Department provided amendments to the California Fire Code:
Removed a previous amendment for fire sprinkler requirements in existing non-sprinklered buildings, when undergoing additions.
The other amendments, previously adopted, update the wording for items such as fireworks and aboveground fuel storage tanks.
The International Property Maintenance Code was previously adopted without any amendments. This code cycle, Code Enforcement provided clarifications which:
Identify the name of our code enforcement division.
Reference the section of the Salinas Municipal Code which contains fees. Provide a more complete definition of an unlawful structure based on local experience.
Strategic Plan
Adoption of the 2025 California Building Standards Code and local amendments supports the City Council’s 2025-2028 Vision and Strategic Goals by:
Promoting safe and sustainable housing development, ensuring that new construction meets modern public safety standards.
Enhancing infrastructure quality through updated building requirements, while local amendments reflect Salinas-specific needs, improving the delivery of city services. Streamlining building regulations and supporting economic development through clearer permitting processes and reduced delays for residential and commercial projects. Additionally, the updated standards help create safer, more accessible environments that benefit youth and seniors in the community.
Recommendation
A motion to adopt the 2025 California
Building Standards Code and
2024 International Property
Maintenance Codes along with the
related local amendments

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City currently has a professional services agreement with TEF Architecture and Interior Design, Inc. to develop conceptual site plans and architectural renderings for a mixed -use affordable housing development to be located on City -owned property at 34 , 36, 38, and 40, 37 and 39, and 45 Soledad Street. This Amendment expands the scope of services provided and increases the total compensation amount by $104,329 for a maximum compensation amount not to exceed $840,889.
BACKGROUND:
As part of the on -going efforts to implement the Chinatown Revitalization Plan (2019), the City purchased 34, 36, 38, and 40 Soledad Street in December 2022. In 2023 the City applied for and received $1,555,000 in Regional Early Action Planning Grant (REAP 2.0) funding from the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG) to complete predevelopment activities for the development of mixed-use affordable housing to be located at 34, 36, 38, and 40 Soledad Street in the Chinatown neighborhood.
In February 2024, the City entered int o a professional services agreement with TEF Architecture and Interior Design, Inc. for an amount not to exceed $82,250 to develop conceptual site plans and architectural renderings for a mixed -use affordable housing development to be located at 34 -38 Soledad Street. In October 2024, the City received authorization from AMBAG to expand the Page | 2
scope of work for the REAP 2.0 funding to include other properties within Chinatown that could be developed for mixed-use affordable housing. On November 19, 2024 the Cou ncil approved Amendment No. 1 to the TEF Architecture and Interior Design, Inc. agreement to further refine the design concepts, select a preferred concept for 34 , 36, 38, and 40 Soledad Street, to include additional design and pre -development work for the City-owned property at 45 Soledad Street, extend the contract term to December 31, 2025 , and increase the not to exceed compensation amount to $252,290. On July 1, 2025, the Council approved Amendment No. 2 to develop the design concepts for 34 , 36, 38, 40 and 45 Soledad Street into s chematic designs for entitlement prior to the preparation of a Request for Proposals for development of the sites. Amendment No. 2 also included design work for 37 and 39 Soledad Street, which is the location of the historic Republic Café and is a cornerstone of the Chinatown Revitalization Plan.

Re: 37-39 Soledad Street Stabilization – ASR#1 - CD-CA
Salinas, CA
Job No. 2024.294.00
Dear Maryam,
We are pleased to provide this proposal for additional services for the 37-39 Soledad Street Stabilization project. This proposal covers tasks and deliverables that are outside the scope of structural engineering services included in our original work agreement, dated August 18, 2025.
This additional services request is necessary to incorporate the design drawings, approvals and construction administration services associated with the implementation of structural stabilization measures identified as part of base scope of work in the August 18, 2025 agreement.
After visiting the site, reviewing relevant documents, drawings, and reports, and discussing the project goals with you and the client, we have identified a scope of recommended structural stabilization measures. We understand that due to funding requirements, the client now intends to complete the construction of the stabilization scope by March of 2026. As such, the design of this work is now proceeding on a faster track than originally anticipated.
The structural scope of stabilization work will include the following:
• Addition of wall to floor out-of-plane anchors at the second floor of both 37 and 39 Soledad (these were previously added at the roof level of 37 Soledad) • Addition of new plywood roof sheathing at 39 Soledad and plywood floor sheathing at the second floor of both 37 and 39 Soledad (not that plywood roof sheathing was previously added to 37 Soledad).
• Addition of a new steel moment frame and footing to provide seismic strength in the building’s transverse direction at the front facade
• Repair of damaged, rotated and detached framing at the front facade • Repair of fire damaged wood framing at the roof and front elevation
37-39 Soledad Street Stabilization – ASR#1 - CD-CA September 10, 2025 • Coordination to ensure the preservation and/ or temporary removal of historic elements at the entry facade that require rehabilitation.
