AGENDA REPORT
ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT 208 PARK AVENUE, SAN FERNANDO, CA 91340 (818) 898-1202 WWW.SFCITY.ORG REVIEW: ☒ City Clerk ☒ Director of Admin. Services ☒ Interim City Manager To: Mayor Mary Mendoza and Councilmembers
From: Kanika Kith, Interim City Manager
By: Ron Garcia, Interim Director of Community Development Date: September 15, 2025
Subject: Receive and File a Presentation on the Update to the City’s Housing Element Implementation Program and Provide Feedback on Housing and Zoning Implementation Programs
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:
a. Receive and File a presentation on the Update to the City’s Housing Element Implementation Program;
b. Provide feedback on key areas of the Housing Element Implementation Programs; and c. Provide staff direction, as appropriate.

BACKGROUND:

1. On June 6, 2022, the City Council adopted the City’s 6th Cycle 2021-2029 Housing Element, Safety Element Update, and Mitigated Negative Declaration.

2. On October 21, 2024, the City Council accepted the Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) 2.0 funding and entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) (Contract No. 2306) to implement the REAP 2.0 Grant Program and help carry out key programs from the City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element. The programs include the evaluation of adaptive re-use opportunities to support housing, streamlining the review process for new housing, and compliance with state housing laws.

3. On March 3, 2025, the City Council approved Contract No. 2343 with Rincon Consultants to implement the REAP 2.0 Grant Program, which includes updating the zoning code to comply with state laws, conduct a historic resource survey, and create clear objective design standards to maintain neighborhood character while streamlining development.

September 15, 2025 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 13 of 288 Receive and File a Presentation on the Update to the City’s Housing Element Implementation Program and Provide Feedback on Housing and Zoning Implementation Programs

4. On May 5, 2025, the City Council approved a Community Outreach and Engagement Plan for the REAP 2.0 Grant Program to ensure that the diverse voices and priorities of San Fernando shape the development of critical planning documents that will guide housing production, preserve neighborhood character, and streamline city processes.

ANALYSIS:

The City is one (1) of 197 local jurisdictions within SCAG, which is responsible for assigning the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Imperial, and Ventura counties. State law requires each city and county in California to adopt and update a Housing Element every eight (8) years to ensure local jurisdictions plan for existing and future housing needs. These needs are determined by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) in coordination with SCAG.

State law requires every city and county in California to adopt and implement a General Plan, which establishes overall goals and policies for future growth of the jurisdiction. A city’s General Plan must include a Housing Element as one (1) of seven (7) mandatory elements. These mandatory elements are identified as land use, transportation, conservation, noise, open space, safety, and housing elements. The Housing Element must include policies and programs to meet existing and future housing needs for the City, as established by HCD and SCAG.

The City’s 2021–2029 6th Cycle Housing Element is a State-required plan that identifies how the City will meet housing needs across all income levels, including households with unique housing challenges such as seniors, persons with disabilities, large families, and individual experiencing homelessness. In addition to identifying housing opportunity sites, the Housing Element reviews potential barriers to development, outlines preservation strategies for existing affordable housing, and sets policies to expand opportunities for new housing.

SCAG’s REAP 2.0 is funding the Housing Element Implementation Program, which aligns with the City Council 2024 Strategic Goals of Focus on Community First, Cultivating A Stronger Local Economy, and Preserving Beautiful Homes and Neighborhoods.

Housing Element Implementation Program.

The Housing Element Implementation Program consists of key areas that were identified as required implementation programs to be completed within the City’s 2021-2029 6th Cycle Housing Element. The programs are summarized below:

1. Housing Stabilization: Develop strategies for preventing displacement and maintaining affordable housing for disadvantaged community members and establishing supportive programs for tenants and homeowners to prevent displacement and affirmatively further fair housing. This will be in the form a Community Stabilization Manual.

September 15, 2025 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 14 of 288 Receive and File a Presentation on the Update to the City’s Housing Element Implementation Program and Provide Feedback on Housing and Zoning Implementation Programs

2. Historic Survey Update: Update the 2002 Historic Survey to identify eligible historic resources throughout the City to promote conversion or preservation of historic commercial buildings into housing while also promoting improvement or expansion of residential buildings to maintain quality of existing housing, neighborhoods, and health of residents, and to address overcrowding.

3. Density Bonus Ordinance: Update the City’s density bonus ordinance to comply with state housing law and provide local incentives that encourage affordable housing development.

4. Zoning Code and San Fernando Corridors Specific Plan 5 (SP-5) Update: Modernize zoning regulations and SP-5 to allow housing in currently restricted areas, increase capacity on underutilized infill sites, streamline project review, and ensure compliance with State law.

5. Housing Development Streamlining: Review and improve the City’s development process to remove barriers and create a more efficient pathway for housing production.

Areas Requiring City Council Input.

Staff seeks City Council direction on the following:

1. Should the City update the Density Bonus Ordinance to provide incentives such as granting additional density in exchange for providing community benefits like increased open space and all electric buildings?

2. Should the City allow uses such as general retail, personal services, and commercial recreation uses in the Maclay District to support small businesses in mixed-use and neighborhood areas of the Specific Plan 5 (Maclay District). These uses are prohibited in the Maclay District because the intend was to cluster these uses in and around the San Fernando Mall.

3. Whether the City should adopt proposed architectural styles (Craftsman, Ranch, Mid-Century Modern, Spanish Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, Mission Revival, and Contemporary) as part of its State-mandated Objective Design Standards(ODS), ensuring new housing complements San Fernando’s historic character. ODS is required by State Law and would encourage housing development that is both compatible with San Fernando’s historic character and align with the city’s growth needs.

Community Outreach.

City staff, along with Rincon, has hosted five (5) community engagement pop-up events at various City facilities including Las Palmas Senior Citizen Club, Recreation Park and Lopez Adobe/Summer Concerts on June 1, 2025, June 14, 2025, July 18, 2025, August 23, 2025, and August 30, 2025, to share project updates with the community and gather input. Three (3) of these events featured an interactive activity where participants provided feedback on five (5) key topics: zoning, historic September 15, 2025 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 15 of 288 Receive and File a Presentation on the Update to the City’s Housing Element Implementation Program and Provide Feedback on Housing and Zoning Implementation Programs

preservation, design, neighborhood character, and community engagement. Community feedback emphasized support for:
• Zoning changes to increase flexibility for housing.
• Assistance for small businesses.
• Maintaining neighborhood character through landscaping and property upkeep.

The other two (2) events focused on promoting the community survey, which included questions related to design, development, open space, and land use. To date, 145 individuals have participated in outreach efforts, with 78 completing the survey. Continued outreach is scheduled for Fall 2025, with draft documents anticipated for release in Spring 2026. The community survey remains active, through the end of September 2025. To date, the survey demonstrates the following:
• Most respondents believe it’s important for new buildings to match the style of existing neighborhoods (52.6%)
• Most respondents believe some variety in architecture styles is appropriate for new buildings, but they should still generally match nearby homes (63.6%) • Most respondents support allowing more neighborhood-serving small businesses (52.4%) • Most respondents support more parks and trails if it meant allowing for taller or denser housing (55.9% -- Yes Definitely-32.4%, Yes, but only in certain areas-23.5%) Planning and Preservation Commission Discussion.

On August 12, 2025, the Planning and Preservation Commission received a presentation on the Housing Element Implementation Program and provided feedback. Key points included:
• Strong support for preserving San Fernando’s eclectic architectural character, with preference for Spanish Colonial, Mission, and Contemporary styles. • Interest in walkable, family-oriented land uses such as coffee shops, pet stores, theaters, restaurants, and amenities including dog parks, bus shelter upgrades, community gardens, and small public plazas.
• Opposition to density trade-offs for open space and mixed views on density incentives for all-electric buildings.
• Concern over maintaining the City’s scale and character. • Opposition to allowing concentrations of barbershops/beauty salons in the Maclay District, which are currently prohibited along with other general commercial and personal services. The Commission wanted pedestrian-friendly uses such as small exercise studios and other commercial recreation facilities to serve residents. The Specific Plan’s emphasis is concentrating retail and commercial activity in Downtown and mixed-use corridors.

September 15, 2025 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 16 of 288 Receive and File a Presentation on the Update to the City’s Housing Element Implementation Program and Provide Feedback on Housing and Zoning Implementation Programs

• Mixed views on expanding childcare facilities outside the Maclay District, due to lack of need for these uses.

BUDGET IMPACT:

There is no budget impact associated with this project, as the Comprehensive Housing Element Implementation Program is funded by a $1,125,000 SCAG REAP 2.0 Grant Program through June 30, 2026. However, failure to complete the project by this deadline will result in forfeiture of grant funds.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file a presentation on the update to the City’s Housing Element Implementation Program; provide feedback on key areas of the Housing and Zoning Implementation Programs; and provide staff direction, as appropriate.

AGENDA REPORT
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT 117 MACNEIL STREET, CA 91340 (818) 898-1202 WWW.SFCITY.ORG REVIEW: ☒ City Clerk ☒ Director of Admin. Services ☒ Interim City Manager To: Mayor Mary Mendoza and Councilmembers
From: Kanika Kith, Interim City Manager
By: Ron Garcia, Interim Director of Community Development Date: September 15, 2025
Subject: Receive and File a Presentation Regarding the City’s Climate Action Resilience Plan and Associated General Plan Update to the Open Space, Conservation, Parks, and Recreation Element and Mobility Element
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:
a. Receive and file a presentation on the City’s Climate Action and Resilience Plan and General Plan Updates to the Open Space, Conservation, Parks, and Recreation Element and Mobility Element; and
b. Provide feedback and direction, as appropriate.

BACKGROUND:

1. In November 2021, the City submitted a grant application to Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) to obtain funds through the SoCalGas Climate Adaptation and Resiliency Planning Grant Program.

2. On December 1, 2021, the City was awarded a $50,000 grant from SoCalGas for the first phase of preparation of the City’s Climate Adaptation and Resilience Plan (CARP).

3. On March 21, 2022, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) from qualified consultants to prepare the City’s Climate Action and Resilience Plan and proposals were received by the due date of April 11, 2022.

4. On October 17, 2022, the City Council approved an agreement with Rincon Consultants (Rincon) to prepare the City’s first phase of the CARP.

September 15, 2025 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 21 of 288 Receive and File a Presentation Regarding the City’s Climate Action Resilience Plan and Associated General Plan Update

5. On March 30, 2023, the City, as the lead applicant, submitted an application to Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI), which was formerly the Office of Land Use Planning and Research (OPR) – Adaptation Planning Grant Program with the community partners - Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians (FTBMI), Pacoima Beautiful, and Climate Resolve to develop a Climate Action and Resilience Plan and update the City’s Circulation and Open Space/Conservation/Parks & Recreation Elements of the General Plan.

6. On April 2, 2024, the City Council accepted the Adaptation Planning Grant (APGP) funding from the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI) to complete a Climate Action Resilience Plan and update two of the City’s General Plan Elements.

7. On April 2, 2024, the City Council approved an agreement with Rincon to complete phase 2 of the CARP and General Plan Updates.

ANALYSIS:

The Climate Action and Resilience Plan (CARP) is the City’s roadmap for addressing climate change and increasing adaptive capacity. It outlines strategies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, adapt to environmental impacts, and build community resilience through renewable energy, sustainable mobility, urban greening, and climate-ready infrastructure. These initiatives also improve quality of life while positioning the City to secure state and federal funding.

The General Plan is the City’s long-term “blueprint” for growth and development, guiding land use, housing, transportation, parks, and conservation. Updating the General Plan ensures that City policies align with state mandates, reflect community priorities, and advance sustainability goals. Current updates focus on the Circulation Element (transitioning to a Mobility Element) and the Open Space/Conservation/Parks and Recreation Element, both of which are being integrated with CARP strategies.

Together, CARP and the General Plan updates will help San Fernando meet state climate targets, improve community health and mobility, strengthen natural resource protection, and enhance eligibility for competitive grant funding. Staff is requesting City Council input on the draft strategies summarized below.

Climate Action and Resilience Plan (CARP).

Phase 1 of the CARP was completed in February 2024 and included development of the City’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory, a climate change vulnerability assessment, and related data collection. The results were presented to City Council as part of this scope of work.

Phase 2 is now underway and focuses on developing strategies and actions to reduce emissions, improve climate resilience, and support community engagement. This work is being carried out in partnership with Pacoima Beautiful, FTBMI, and Climate Resolve.

September 15, 2025 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 22 of 288 Receive and File a Presentation Regarding the City’s Climate Action Resilience Plan and Associated General Plan Update

Policy Themes are broad areas of focus that guide the plan’s strategies and actions. They represent the “big picture” priorities that organize the City’s climate response, while more detailed strategies and actions will define how each theme is implemented. For the CARP, the priority policy themes are:
• Mobility – reducing emissions from transportation by improving transit, walking, and biking options.
• Resilient Parks/Open Space – using parks, trees, and open space to manage heat, improve air quality, and absorb stormwater.
• Historic Preservation – retrofitting older buildings to be energy-efficient and climateready. • Energy Conservation – promoting renewable energy and energy-efficient buildings to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

These themes align with state requirements (SB 32, AB 32, SB 743, AB 1358, SB 1425) and community input, positioning the City to address challenges such as extreme heat and poor air quality.

Proposed Areas for City Council Input:
• Expand use of the San Fernando Trolley for local trips. • Increase electric vehicle (EV) adoption in residential and commercial sectors. • Grow active transportation options, including bike paths. • Expand urban tree canopy, native landscaping, and permeable surfaces for stormwater and heat management.
• Support climate-smart retrofits for historic buildings. • Require resilient new construction capable of withstanding climate hazards. • Enhance the reliability of the water supply to prepare for droughts, emergencies, and infrastructure risks.

General Plan Update – Circulation (Mobility) Element.

The Circulation Element is being updated to a Mobility Element that emphasizes multimodal transportation, vehicle miles traveled (VMT) reduction, and regional connectivity while incorporating CARP strategies and state requirements. Development of the Mobility Element is underway, with adoption targeted for December 31, 2026.

September 15, 2025 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 23 of 288 Receive and File a Presentation Regarding the City’s Climate Action Resilience Plan and Associated General Plan Update

Proposed Areas for City Council Input:
• Prioritize regional partnership coordination (e.g., METRO, LA County) to strengthen transit and mobility connections.
• Improve bike paths along the railway with enhanced safety, comfort, and usability measures (e.g., lighting, landscaping, fencing).

General Plan Update – Open Space/Conservation/Parks and Recreation Element.

The Open Space/Conservation/Parks and Recreation Element is being updated to focus on protecting natural resources, expanding urban greening, and ensuring park and recreation facilities are climate-ready and accessible. This update is being developed in alignment with CARP strategies, with adoption targeted for December 31, 2026.

Proposed Areas for City Council Input:
• Establish an Urban Greening District to prioritize park and open space improvements in line with the Urban Forest Management Plan.
• Promote climate-adaptive parks, including smart irrigation, drought-resistant landscaping, and cooling centers to address extreme heat.

The CARP and General Plan updates will align City policies with state climate mandates, integrate community priorities, and position San Fernando for future funding opportunities. Staff seeks City Council input on the proposed strategies to guide the next phase of plan development.

Community Outreach.

With staff coordination and the City’s consultant, an extensive community engagement effort was led by Pacoima Beautiful, FTBMI, and Climate Resolve. Community outreach activities consisted of hosting Pop Ups, community and tribal meetings, advisory group meetings, workshops, and walk shops where community members took a walk throughout the city using tools that measured heat, noise, and air pollution. A total of 11 community engagement activities took place throughout Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025, and over 175 surveys in both English and Spanish were collected. The survey results showed the following:

• Over 55% of respondents were participants in the planning process for the first time. • 80% of respondents were concerned about climate change, citing extreme heat, poor air quality, drought and water supply, flooding, wildfires, and the decline of native plants and animals in the ecosystem, as major issues.
• 67% are very satisfied or satisfied with the availability of parks and open space, with desired amenities including restrooms, shade structures, fitness equipment, dog parks, outdoor seating, cultural and historical elements, and splash pads.

September 15, 2025 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 24 of 288 Receive and File a Presentation Regarding the City’s Climate Action Resilience Plan and Associated General Plan Update

On July 25, 2025, Summer Movie Night at Pioneer Park marked the final community engagement activity. Booklets were handed out and posted on the City’s website to further understand the City’s living roadmap for a healthier, safer, and more connected future as it relates to challenges climate change presents to the San Fernando community.

Planning and Preservation Commission Discussion.

On September 9, 2025, the Planning and Preservation Commission reviewed the City’s Climate Action Resilience Plan and related General Plan Updates. The discussion focused on practical, community-driven priorities, with an emphasis on improvements that enhance quality of life while remaining affordable and achievable. Key feedback centered on urban greening, mobility, and parks and recreation, as outlined below.

Community Improvements
• Support for tree planting, shade, and upgraded park amenities • Strategies should be practical, affordable, and tailored to San Fernando • Interest in cultural programming and use of recycled water • Concerns about aesthetics of native plants and balancing water use • Importance of clear communication so plans reflect resident priorities and result in implementable actions
Mobility
• Support for safe walking and biking routes, and trolley use • Concerns about reducing parking or prioritizing EV infrastructure • Preference for affordable safety improvements (lighting, visibility) over large infrastructure projects
Parks & Recreation
• Emphasis on shade, play areas, and community programs • Recycled water seen as a solution for irrigation needs • Support for cultural preservation
BUDGET IMPACT:

There is no additional funding impacts associated with this update. The Climate Action Resilience Plan and General Plan Update is funded by a $599,918 Adaptation Planning Grant from the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation through January 31, 2026. However, failure to complete the project by this deadline may result in forfeiture of grant funds.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the presentation and provide feedback on the proposed policy themes and overall project development and process to help shape the City’s GPU and CARP documents. The grant funded project aligns with the City Council 2024 Strategic Goals of Strengthening Climate Resilience and Environmental Justice.

AGENDA REPORT
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DEPARTMENT 117 MACNEIL STREET, SAN FERNANDO, CA 91340 (818) 898-7307 WWW.SFCITY.ORG REVIEW: ☒ City Clerk ☒ Director of Admin. Services ☒ Interim City Manager To: Mayor Mary Mendoza and Councilmembers
From: Kanika Kith, Interim City Manager
By: Erica D. Melton, Director of Administrative Services

Date: September 15, 2025
Subject: Consideration to Adopt a Resolution Approving the Warrant Register RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-092 (Attachment “A”) approving the Warrant Register.

BACKGROUND:

For each City Council meeting the Finance Department prepares a Warrant Register for Council approval. The Register includes all recommended payments for the City. Checks, other than special checks, generally are not released until after the Council approves the Register. The exceptions are for early releases to avoid penalties and interest, excessive delays and in all other circumstances favorable to the City to do so. Special checks are those payments required to be issued between Council meetings such as insurance premiums and tax deposits.
