STAFF REPORT

SAN CLEMENTE PLANNING COMMISSION
Date: February 7, 2024
PLANNER: Christopher Wright, Lead Project Planner
SUBJECT: Strategic Implementation Program Update, a request to forward a recommendation to the City Council on the approval of an annual update to the General Plan Strategic Implementation Program for Fiscal Year 2024- 2025 (“FY25”).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On February 4, 2014, the City Council adopted the Centennial General Plan, the City’s longterm policy document to achieve San Clemente’s vision. Annually, with the budgeting process, the City Council approves a five-year Strategic Implementation Program (SIP) comprising “Implementation Measures” (IMs) to carry out General Plan goals and policies.

The SIP identifies projects the City Council prioritizes in terms of funding and available staff time to complete in the next five years or by the beginning of Fiscal Year 2029-2030 (“FY30”).

This is an important tool for decision makers and the City Manager to focus upon with available staff time for one-time projects, given most staff time is allocated to completing reoccurring work duties necessary for regular City operations. City Council direction is requested on whether to accept a proposed priority project list to complete over the next five years based on available resources. This proposed project list is included as Attachment 1 and summarized below.

DISCUSSION
Process for SIP Update
Staff proposes changes to the SIP based on a review of progress on existing projects, staff capacity for new projects, Council direction since the previous SIP update, community needs and interests, legal requirements, and new opportunities for efficiencies. Following this review, staff recommends which projects to prioritize in the five-year SIP and which projects to initiate beyond five years. Additionally, staff provides recommendations to add, delete, consolidate, or revise proposed SIP projects. After the SIP is drafted, the Planning Commission reviews the proposed SIP at a public meeting and provides guidance for staff to consider revisions. Lastly, the City Council acts on the SIP update in conjunction with a decision on the Long-Term Financial Plan and Annual Budget.

Improvements to SIP Format
Initially, the SIP was approved in September 2014, following adoption of the General Plan.

The SIP is to be a tool for the City Council to set its strategic priorities that carry over into decisions on staffing, budgeting, and initiatives to act upon with available resources.

Therefore, the intent is to present potential General Plan implementation projects in a 9B-1
SIP FY25 Update Page 2
manner that facilitates this decision process. Since 2014, the SIP has included an overview and a several page list of one-time projects color categorized by high, medium, and low priority; and ongoing IMs that are reoccurring activities. Part of the SIP process is to evaluate whether the format can be improved to facilitate priority setting by making the document user friendly, useful, and as concise as possible. This year, staff saw an opportunity to improve the SIP format by:
x Focusing the SIP project list on one-time projects and separating ongoing IMs given they are occurring activities that are mostly static and do not involve special attention in the budget process.
x Simplifying how projects are listed. Projects are now listed based on whether: 1) projects are prioritized in the SIP for completion within five years, or 2) projects that would be deferred beyond five years.
x Identifying the anticipated timeframe for completing projects by identifying the expected year to initiate and complete projects.
x Including notes on project status and whether resources are needed to make progress on the projects.

To compare the new and existing format, you can view the previously approved FY24 SIP on the City’s website https://www.san-clemente.org/department-services/planningservices/general-plan.

Progress on General Plan Implementation
The City has completed several projects from the SIP since the General Plan’s adoption.

For a list of project accomplishments, see Attachment 3. Additionally, through regular operations, the City completes reoccurring or “ongoing” activities that implement General Plan policies. A majority of staff time is spent on these activities. Examples include park planning, pursuing grant funding, reviewing projects for Zoning compliance, and maintaining public infrastructure. A list of these ongoing activities is provided as Attachment 4.

For additional information on recent accomplishments, the Annual Progress Report is available on the City’s website at https://www.san-clemente.org/departmentservices/planning-services/general-plan. This report is required by the State each year to provide information to the City Council and State to assess how the General Plan is being implemented. Also, the report provides State required information regarding the City’s progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs.

Proposed Projects
The table below identifies projects proposed to include in the SIP for completion by the beginning of FY30 or to defer beyond five years. The projects are sorted by lead City department that would oversee completion of the project. For more project details, Attachment 1 provides a list with status notes and resources needed to complete projects.

Staff recommendations to add, consolidate, delete, or revise projects are shown in Attachment 2.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW/COMPLIANCE
This item is not a “project” within the meaning of the term in State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15378(b)(2) and 15378(b)(5) because it involves administrative activities and organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Appropriate environmental review and analysis would be conducted at a future date for projects subject to CEQA. 9B-3
SIP FY25 Update Page 4

CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION REVIEW
The SIP is used to prioritize General Plan implementation and to direct resources to meet City goals. SIP projects are separately processed and evaluated according to the Coastal Act as required. Therefore, the project does not require California Coastal Commission approval.

GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The proposed SIP update is consistent with the General Plan. The SIP lists projects and ongoing programs to implement goals and policies, ensures the General Plan responds to changing needs and conditions, and identifies projects to include in the annual budget, based on yearly evaluation of priorities to ensure appropriate resources are committed to continue progress on General Plan implementation.

ALTERNATIVES
The Planning Commission may take any of the following actions:

1. Recommend City Council approval of the proposed SIP update. This is staff’s recommendation.

2. Recommend the City Council approve the proposed SIP update with changes. If the Planning Commission requests staff to research issues or recommend significant revisions, a continuance of this agenda item may be necessary to make revisions and reassess the project(s).

3. Recommend the City Council deny the proposed SIP update. If the Commission wishes to pursue this option, the hearing will need to be continued to allow the appropriate resolution to be prepared.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission:

1. Adopt Resolution PC 24-001, recommending approval of the FY25 SIP.
