T
he boundaries of the proposed Annexation No. 161 and designation of the Improvement Area are shown on the map entitled “Map of Proposed Boundaries of Improvement Area No. F -59 of Community Facilities District No. 98 -02 (Lighting, Landscaping, Open Space, and Preserve Maintenance) , City of San Marcos , County of San Diego, State of California” which is on file with the City Clerk of the City Council (the “City Clerk”), and attached hereto as Exhibit “C” and incorporated herein by this reference.

Said map is hereby approved and, pursuant to section 3110 of the California Streets and Highways Code, the City Clerk shall, after conforming with the other requirements of section 3111 of the California Streets and Highways Code, record the original of said map in the office of the City Clerk, and within 15 days of the adoption of this Resolution but not later than 15 days prior to the date of the public hearing set forth in section 10 hereof, shall file a copy of said boundary map with the County Clerk -Recorder of the County of San Diego.

S
ection 6. Types of Services; Incidental Expenses . It is the intention of the City Council that the Improvement Area finance the municipal services generally described in Exhibit “A” (the “Services”) attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference and all costs associated with the annexation of the Improvement Area, administration thereof, the determination of the amount of any special taxes to be levied, the costs of collecting any special taxes, and costs otherwise incurred in order to carry out the authorized purposes of the Improvement Area and CFD.

T
o the extent possible and practicable, it is the City Council’s further intention that any common services be complete together at the same time and under the same contracts, to the extent services are contracted to third- parties, for any similar services and at shared facilities, in common with the existing CFD and the Improvement Area.

The City Council hereby finds and determines that the public interest will not be served by allowing the property owners in the Improvement Area to enter a contract in accordance with section 53329.5(a) of the Act.

S
ection 7. Special Taxes. It is the intention of the City Council that, except where funds are otherwise available, a special tax sufficient to pay for the Services and related incidental expenses authorized by the Act, secured by the recordation of a continuing lien against all non-exempt real property in the Improvement Area, shall be annually levied within the boundaries of the Improvement Area pursuant to the Rate and Method (defined below).

P
articulars as to the rate and method of apportionment of the proposed special tax are set forth in the attached Exhibit “B” (the “Rate and Method”), which is incorporated herein by this reference and which sets forth in sufficient detail the rate and method of apportionment of the special taxes to allow each landowner or resident within the proposed Improvement Area to clearly estimate the maximum amount that such person will have to pay.

Th
e special tax proposed to pay for the Services to be supplied within the Territory shall be equal to any special tax levied to pay for the same services in the existing CFD, except that a higher or lower special tax may be levied within the T erritory proposed to 185

Resolution No. 2026-XXXX

Page 4 ends

be annexed or territory to be annexed in the future to the extent that th e actual cost of providing the Services in that territory is higher or lower than the cost of providing those services in the existing CFD . This section shall not be construed to limit the levy of a special tax within the T erritory to be annexed or territory to be annexed in the future to provide new or additional services beyond those supplied within the existing CFD.

The maximum special tax rate of the existing CFD shall not be increased as a result of any annexation proceeding. The special tax obligation for any parcel may be prepaid pursuant to the terms described in Section 9 of the Rate and Method.

The special taxes shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided however, that the Improvement Area may collect special taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet its financial obligations, and may covenant to foreclose and may actually foreclose on delinquent assessor’s parcels as permitted by the Act.

Upon recordation of a notice of special tax lien pursuant to sections 3117.5 and 3114.5 of the California Streets and Highways Code, a continuing lien to secure the levy of special taxes shall attach to all non-exempt real property in the Improvement Area, and that lien shall continue in force and effect until the collection of the special taxes ceases.

The City Council hereby finds that the provisions of sections 53313.6, 53313.7 and 53313.9 of the Act (relating to adjustments to ad valorem property taxes and schools financed by a community facilities district) are inapplicable to the proposed Improvement Area.

Section 8. Exempt Properties. Pursuant to section 53340 of the Act, and except as provided in section 53317.3 of the Act, properties or entities of the state, federal, and local governments shall be exempt from the levy of special taxes. Additionally, a ny property receiving a welfare exemption under subdivision (g) of Section 214 of the Revenue and Taxation Code shall be exem pt from the special tax to the extent of such welfare exemption. The Rate and Method describes property exempt from the special tax for the Improvement Area. If a portion of the property within the Improvement Area becomes exempt for any reason, wholly or in part, from the levy of the special tax, the City Council will, on behalf of the Improvement Area, increase the levy to the extent necessary upon the remaining property within the Improvement Area that is not exempt in order to yield the annual expenses of the Improvement Area, if any, subject to the provisions of the Rate and Method and the Act regarding limitations on maximum annual special tax rates and annual increases in the annual special tax levy.

Section 9. Necessity. It is further determined by the City Council that the Services are necessary to meet increased demands and needs placed upon the City as a result of development within the boundaries of the Improvement Area.

Section 10. Hearing. A public hearing will be held by the City Council to consider the annexation of the Improvement Area to the CFD, the proposed levy of special taxes therein, the proposed rate, method of appointment, and manner of collection of the special taxes, and all other matters as set forth in this Resolution at 6:00 p.m. on April 28 , 2026 186

in the City Council Chamber, 1 Civic Center Drive, San Marcos, California 92069. At such hearing, any persons interested, including all taxpayers, property owners, and registered voters within the Improvement Area, may appear and be heard, and the testimony of all interested persons or taxpayers for or against the annexation of t he Territory to the Improvement Area, the levy of the special taxes, or the extent of the Improvement Area, or the establishment of an appropriations limit therefor, or on any other matters set forth in this Resolution, will be heard and considered.

Any protests to the proposals in this Resolution may be made orally or in writing by any interested persons or taxpayers, except that any protests pertaining to the regularity or sufficiency of such proceedings shall be in writing and shall clearly set for th the irregularities and defects to which the objection is made. The City Council may waive any irregularities in the form or content of any written protest and at such public hearing may correct minor defects in such proceedings. All written protests not presented in person by the protester at the public hearing shall be field with the City Clerk on or before the time fixed for the public hearing in order to be received and considered. Any written protest may be withdrawn in writing at any time before the conclusion of such public hearing.

If fifty percent (50%) or more of the registered voters, or six registered voters, whichever is more, residing within the T erritory proposed to be included in the Improvement Area and not exempt from the levy of special taxes, or the owners of one- half or more of the area of the land in said T erritory, file written protests against the annexation of the Improvement Area to the CFD, and protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the value of the protest to less than a majority, no further proceedings to designate the Improvement Area or to levy the specified special taxes shall be taken for a period of one year from the date of the decision of the City Council. If a majority protest of the registered voters or of the landowners are only against the furnishing of a specified type or ty pes of Services within the Improvement Area , those types of Services will be eliminated from the resolution completing the annexation of the Improvement Area to the CFD.

The public hearing may be continued from time to time, but shall be completed within sixty (60) days, except that if the City Council finds that the complexity of the Improvement Area or the need for public participation requires additional time, the public hearing may be continued from time to time for a period not to exceed six (6) months.

At the conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council may abandon the proposed annexation or may, after passing upon all protests, determine to proceed with annexing the Improvement Area to the CFD.

Section 11. Notice. The City Clerk shall publish a notice of the time and place of said public hearing as required by s ection 53339.4 of the Act, and may also give notice of the time and place of said hearing by first -class mail to each registered voter and to each landowner within the proposed boundaries of the Improvement Area as prescribed by section 53339.4 of the Act.

Section 12. Description of Voting Procedures . The voting procedures to be followed shall be pursuant to section 53339.7 of the Act and pursuant to the applicable provisions of the California Election Code. If the City Council determines at the conclusion of the public hearing to proceed with the annexation of the Improvement Area to the CFD, it expects that the proposed voting will be by the landowners voting in accordance with the Act, as the City Council is informed that during the ninety (90) days prior to the date set for the hearing, there have been fewer than twelve (12) registered voters residing in the proposed boundaries of the Improvement Area. The City Council hereby requires this information to be confirmed before ordering the election.

Section 13. Report.

Section 15. Effective Date. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.

4.2 Increasing the Maximum Annual Special Tax : Beginning with Fiscal Year 2026- 2027 the Maximum Annual Special Tax Rates set forth above may be increased annually by the greater of the annual percentage change in the Index or two percent (2.00%).

Section 5. Determination of Special Tax Requirement

The City shall annually determine the Special Tax Requirement for each Fiscal Year, commencing with Fiscal Year 2026-2027. The Special Tax Requirement for each Fiscal Year shall include the cost of those Authorized Services that the City is or will be responsible to provide during all or any portion of such Fiscal Year; the proportionate share of the related Administrative Expenses allocable to the Territory; and the funding or replenishment of the Reserve Fund to the Reserve Fund Requirement. The initial funding of the Reserve Fund shall be accomplished only through the levy of Special Taxes on Developed Property or Extraordinary Special Taxes on Approved Property and/or Undeveloped Property as provided for herein.

In any Fiscal Year during which a developer, builder, or property owner is or will be responsible for providing any Improvement Area Services, the Special Tax Requirement for such Fiscal Year shall include the Developed Properties' proportionate share of the estimated cost of providing the Improvement Area Services by the Cit y from the estimated date following the end of the developer's warranty period upon which the City will assume such maintenance responsibility to the next date thereafter on which the C ity will receive Special Taxes to finance such Improvement Area Services. For example, assume that in preparing the Fiscal Year 2026- 2027 Special Tax Requirement, the District determines that the City will become responsible for providing certain Improvement Area Services commencing on May 1, 2027.

Section 7. Extraordinary Special Tax

Prior to the acceptance by the City of areas or improvements to be maintained as a part of the Improvement Area Services and assumption by the City of responsibility for providing such Improvement Area Services, the District shall determine, if applicable, (i) the amount, if any, in addition to those funds received from the levy of the Special Taxes on Developed Properties which are allocated to pay for Improvement Area Services, which the City will need to pay for such Improvement Area Services from the date following the end of the developer's warranty period upon which the City will assume such maintenance responsibility to the next date thereafter on which the City will receive Special Taxes to finance such Improvement Area Services and (ii) the amount, if any, in addition to those funds received from the levy of Special Taxes on Developed Properties which are allocated t o funding the Reserve Fund, which will be necessary to increase the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund to the Reserve Fund Requirement at the commencement of the Fiscal Year following the date of the assumption by the City of responsibility for providing such Improvement Area Services.

SUBJECT:

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-9559 - INTENTION TO ANNEX TERRITORY IN THE FUTURE TO IMPROVEMENT AREA NO. F-59 OF COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 98-02 (LIGHTING, LANDSCAPING, OPEN

SPACE, AND PRESERVE MAINTENANCE)
Recommendation
ADOPT a resolution declaring intention to annex territory in the future to Improvement Area No. F-59 of Community Facilities District No. 98-02 (Lighting, Landscaping, Open Space, and Preserve Maintenance), City of San Marcos, County of San Diego, State of California (the “CFD No. 98-02”) and other actions related thereto.

Board or Commission Action
Not applicable
Executive Summary
This item is a concurrent item for consideration to initiate proceedings to annex certain territory to be known as Annexation No. 161 (“Annexation No. 161”) and to designate Improvement Area No. F-59 (“IA No. F-59”) of Community Facilities District No. 98-02 (Lighting, Landscaping, Open Space, and Preserve Maintenance), City of San Marcos, County of San Diego, State of California (the “CFD No. 98-02”). These proceedings are intended to authorize future annexations to IA No. F-59.

Discussion
CFD No. 98-02 was formed pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, commencing with California Government Code section 53311 et seq. (the “Act”)and the City of San Marcos Community Facilities District Procedural Ordinance enacted pursuant to the powers reserved by the City of San Marcos under Sections 3, 5 and 7 of Article XI of the Constitution of the State of California to provide funding necessary for the maintenance of the City’slighting, landscaping, parks, medians, open space, and preserve space. Special improvement areas are formed as separate zones within CFD No. 98-02 to provide special tax funding necessary for the maintenance of development improvements and impacts above and beyond what is normally maintained by the City.

It is the intention of the City to annex additional property to IA No. F-59 in the future. This proceeding authorizes the City to complete such annexations without having to conduct the two meetings as is needed to establish a community facilities district. The single meeting proceedings may be completed, following successful completion of this future annexation authorization proceeding, with the unanimous approval of all property owners subject to the future annexation.

The map of the proposed future annexation boundaries of IA No. F-59 is attached as Attachment A.

City staff has determined that creating IA No. F-59 for new development, and potential redevelopment of certain properties, provides a benefit to the property owners by consolidating the maintenance services into a single district rather than utilizing multiple existing or future special districts, each of which provide only partial maintenance of the required services. IA No. F-59 also provides a benefit to the City by reducing the administrative burden of having to administer multiple districts to provide the combined services required to be maintained by the properties. Authorizing future annexations to IA No. F-59 further reduces the City’s administrative burden by authorizing single meeting proceedings for all future annexations to IA No. F-59.

To initiate the future annexation authorization proceedings, the City Council must approve the attached Resolution of Intention (Attachment B). By adopting the attached Resolution of Intention the City Council will establish the date and time for the public hearing to authorize future annexations to IA No. F-59.

The special taxes proposed for future annexations to IA No. F-59 will be levied at the rates shown in the Rate and Method of Apportionment (“RMA”)attached to this staff report (Attachment C). The taxes levied ensure sufficient funding to maintain the proposed services into perpetuity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the actual cost of providing the services to territory within any proposed future annexation area is higher or lower than the cost of providing such services within the existing IA No. F-59 annexations, a higher or lower special tax may be levied within such territory, to the extent the actual cost of providing the services in the annexation territory is higher or lower than the costs of providing those services in the existing IA No. F-59 annexations, subject to the unanimous approval and election of the owner or owners of such territory. In any such circumstance, the RMA may be revised to reflect the higher or lower special tax, as applicable. The maximum special tax rate in the existing CFD and IA No. F-59 may not be increased as a result of any annexation proceeding. The proposed services to be maintained by IA No. F-59 are included in Exhibit “A”of the resolution of intention attached as Attachment B.

Environmental Review
The proposed annexation is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as per Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines, as it is an organizational activity of government and there is no potential to result in a physical change in the environment. Even if the annexation can be considered a project subject to CEQA, it is categorically exempt per State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities), as it does not involve changes to approved development. The annexation is also categorically exempt per State CEQA Guidelines Section 15319 (Annexations), as the properties contain private structures developed to existing zoning and utilities to the sites will only have capacity to serve the existing structures. Finally, the annexation is exempt per Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility it would have a significant effect on the environment. None of the exceptions to the categorical exemptions in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply to the annexation.

Fiscal Impact
The Community Facilities Districts provide ongoing funding for city services. The funds levied will fund the ongoing maintenance of various elements of city infrastructure and provide critical revenues to ensure a well- maintained city.

The maximum special tax for IA No. F-59 for Fiscal Year 2025-26 will be $651.67 per equivalent dwelling unit.

The maximum special tax is the maximum amount that can be levied in any given tax year. It is escalated every fiscal year based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 2.0%, whichever is greater. Details and the breakdown of special taxes have been provided within the RMA in Attachment C.

Section 6. Authorized Services. It is the intention of the City Council that the Improvement Area finance the municipal services generally described in Exhibit “A” (the “Services”) attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference and all costs associated with the annexation of t he Improvement Area, administration thereof, the determination of the amount of any special taxes to be levied, the costs of collecting any special taxes, and costs otherwise incurred in order to carry out the authorized purposes of the Improvement Area and CFD.

To the extent possible and practicable, it is the City Council’s further intention that any common services be complete together at the same time and under the same contracts, to the extent services are contracted to third-parties, for any similar services and at shared facilities, in common with the existing CFD and the Improvement Area.

The City Council hereby finds and determines that the public interest will not be served by allowing the property owners in the Improvement Area to enter a contract in accordance with section 53329.5(a) of the Act.

The Authorized Services to be financed by the levy of special taxes to be levied on specific territory within the Future Annexation Area to be annexed to the Improvement Area may include some or all of such Authorized Services or may include alternatives to the Authorized Services.

The Authorized Services shall to the maximum extent practicable, taking into account budgetary and operational demands of the City, be provided in common within the Improvement Area and the Future Annexation Area.

The City Council finds that the Authorized Services described in this section 6 hereof are necessary to meet increased demands placed upon the City as a result of new development occurring within the boundaries of the Improvement Area and the Future Annexation Area.

For further particulars as to the rates and method of apportionment of the proposed Special Tax, reference is made to the attached and incorporated Exhibit “B” (the "Rate and Method"), which sets forth in sufficient detail the rate and method of apportionment of the Special Tax to allow each landowner or resident within the territory in the proposed Future Annexation Area to clearly estimate the maximum amount of the Special Tax that such person will have to pay for the Authorized Services upon the annexation of such territory to the Improvement Area. The special tax obligation for any parcel may be prepaid pursuant to the terms described in Section 9 of the Rate and Method.

In any such circumstance, the Rate and Method may be revised to reflect the higher or lower special tax, as applicable. The maximum special tax rate in the existing CFD and Improvement Area may not be increased as a result of any annexation proceeding.

Annexation of territory in the future shall be effective upon the unanimous approval and election of the owner or owners of any such parcel or parcels authorizing the levy of the Special Tax upon such parcel or parcels following the annexation to the Improvement Area, and no further public hearings or additional proceedings will be required to accomplish such annexation.

4.2 Increasing the Maximum Annual Special Tax : Beginning with Fiscal Year 2026- 2027 the Maximum Annual Special Tax Rates set forth above may be increased annually by the greater of the annual percentage change in the Index or two percent (2.00%).

Section 5. Determination of Special Tax Requirement

The City shall annually determine the Special Tax Requirement for each Fiscal Year, commencing with Fiscal Year 2026-2027. The Special Tax Requirement for each Fiscal Year shall include the cost of those Authorized Services that the City is or will be responsible to provide during all or any portion of such Fiscal Year; the proportionate share of the related Administrative Expenses allocable to the Territory; and the funding or replenishment of the Reserve Fund to the Reserve Fund Requirement. The initial funding of the Reserve Fund shall be accomplished only through the levy of Special Taxes on Developed Property or Extraordinary Special Taxes on Approved Property and/or Undeveloped Property as provided for herein.

In any Fiscal Year during which a developer, builder, or property owner is or will be responsible for providing any Improvement Area Services, the Special Tax Requirement for such Fiscal Year shall include the Developed Properties' proportionate share of the estimated cost of providing the Improvement Area Services by the Cit y from the estimated date following the end of the developer's warranty period upon which the City will assume such maintenance responsibility to the next date thereafter on which the C ity will receive Special Taxes to finance such Improvement Area Services. For example, assume that in preparing the Fiscal Year 2026- 2027 Special Tax Requirement, the District determines that the City will become responsible for providing certain Improvement Area Services commencing on May 1, 2027. Assume that from that date the City is responsible for such maintenance costs until the end of Fiscal Year 2026-2027 (i.e., May 1, 2027 to June 30, 2027), the City's share of the cost of providing services is $2,500.

In addition, assume that the cost of providing services during Fiscal Year 2027-2028 is $10,000 such that the cost of providing services for Fiscal Year 2027-2028 until the first receipt of Special Taxes (i.e., July 1, 2027 to December 31, 2027) is $5,000. On May 1, 2027, the City will need to have on deposit $7,500 to f und the services from May 1, 2027 until December 31, 2027. To accomplish this, the Special Tax Requirement for Fiscal Year 2026 -20276 shall include this additional $7,500.

Section 6. Method of Apportionment of Special Taxes

6.1. As of July 1 of each Fiscal Year, commencing with July 1, 2026 all Taxable Assessor 's
Parcels within the Territory shall be assigned to one of the Property Classifications specified in Section 3.

6.2. The City shall determine for each Fiscal Year the Special Tax Requirement.

240

B-8

6.3. The City shall levy the Special Taxes for each Fiscal Year, commencing on July 1, 2025, in the following order of priority to fund the Special Tax Requirement for such Fiscal Year:

(a) Levy the Special Tax proportionately up to the Maximum Annual Special Tax upon all Developed Property to generate Special Taxes to fund the Special Tax Requirement;

(b) If, after levying Special Taxes pursuant to (a) above, additional Special Taxes are needed to generate sufficient Special Taxes to fund the Special Tax Requirement, then levy the Special Tax proportionately up to the Maximum Annual Special Tax upon all Approved Property; and

(c) If, after levying Special Taxes pursuant to (a) and (b) above, additional Special Taxes are needed to generate sufficient Special Taxes to fund the Special Tax Requirement, then levy the Special Tax proportionately up to the Maximum Annual Special Tax upon all Assessor
's Parcels of Undeveloped Property which are subject to the levy of Special Taxes.

Section 7. Extraordinary Special Tax

Prior to the acceptance by the City of areas or improvements to be maintained as a part of the Improvement Area Services and assumption by the City of responsibility for providing such Improvement Area Services, the District shall determine, if applicable, (i) the amount, if any, in addition to those funds received from the levy of the Special Taxes on Developed Properties which are allocated to pay for Improvement Area Services, which the City will need to pay for such Improvement Area Services from the date following the end of the developer's warranty period upon which the City will assume such maintenance responsibility to the next date thereafter on which the City will receive Special Taxes to finance such Improvement Area Services and (ii) the amount, if any, in addition to those funds received from the levy of Special Taxes on Developed Properties which are allocated t o funding the Reserve Fund, which will be necessary to increase the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund to the Reserve Fund Requirement at the commencement of the Fiscal Year following the date of the assumption by the City of responsibility for providing such Improvement Area Services. Subject to the limitations on the Maximum Annual Special Tax contained in Section 4 above, the sum of (i) and (ii) above shall be levied as an Extraordinary Special Tax by direct billing on all remaining Approved Property and Undeveloped Property and such amount shall become due and payable within sixty (60) calendar days from and after the date of such direct billing.

The City shall not accept any areas or improvements or assume responsibility for providing those Improvement Area Services for which an Extraordinary Special Tax has been levied until such Special Tax has been received by the District. No further building permits shall be issued for Assessor's Parcels within the Territory if any Extraordinary Special Tax levied pursuant to this Section 7 is not paid within the time period set forth in the preceding paragraph.

241

B-9
Section 8. Manner of Collection of Special Taxes

With the exception of the Extraordinary Special Tax which shall be billed directly, the Special Taxes levied in each Fiscal Year shall be collected in the same manner as ordinary ad valorem property taxes are collected and shall be subject to the same penalties and the same procedure, sale, and lien priority in case of delinquency as is provided for ad valorem taxes; provided, however, the City Council may, by resolution, establish and adopt an alternative or supplemental collection procedure, including direct billing. The Special Taxes when levied shall be secured by the lien imposed pursuant to Section 3115.5 of the Streets and Highways Code. This lien shall be a continuing lien and shall secure each levy of Special Taxes. The lien of the Special Taxes shall continue in force and effect until the Special Tax ceases to be levied in the manner provided by Section 53330.5 of the Government Code.

Section 9. Prepayment of Special Tax

The Maximum Annual Special Tax for an individual Assessor's Parcel within the Territory of the District may be discharged through the prepayment of the special tax obligation provided that there are no delinquent special taxes with respect to that Assessor's Parcel at the time of prepayment.

Proof of payment of delinquent taxes will be provided to the City prior to the discharge of the special tax obligation. An owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Maximum Annual Special Tax shall provide the District with a written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of receipt of such written notice, the District shall notify such owner of the prepayment amount of such Assessor's Parcel.

The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as the present value of the Maximum Annual Special Tax escalated at 2%, through each fiscal year which is seventy -five years from the fiscal year in which the prepayment shall be made plus the current fiscal year special tax obligation, an amount to cover the administrative fees and expenses of the District, as calculated by the City, including, but not limited to, the costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs of removing any special taxes from the Roll, and the costs of recording a notice of special tax lien release and any additional actions required to evidence the prepayment. The assumptions to be used when calculating the present value of the Maximum Annual Special Tax are as follows:

 The discount rate shall be equal to the rate of return earned on the City's general fund investment portfolio for the preceding twelve months.

 A 360-day year.

 The Maximum Annual Special Tax will be discounted from July 1 of each Fiscal year.

The payment in full of the amount calculated, plus the applicable administrative expenses and recording fee, fully discharges any further obligation of the parcel for the improvements funded within the District.
242

B-10

The City shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act within 30 days of receipt of such prepayment of the Maximum Annual Special Tax, to indicate the prepayment of the Maximum Annual Special Tax and the release of the special lien on such Assessor's Parcel.

Section 10. Appeals

Any landowner or resident may file a written appeal of the Special Tax on his/her property with the Finance Director, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special Taxes.

During the pendency of an appeal, all Special Taxes must be paid on or before the payment date established when the levy was made. The appeal must specify the reasons why the appellant claims the Special Tax is in error. The Finance Director shall review the appeal, meet with the appellant if the Finance Director deems necessary, and advise the appellant of its determination. If the Finance Director agrees with the appellant, the Finance Director shall eliminate or reduce the Special Tax on the appellant 's property and/or provide a refund to the appellant. If the Finance Director disagrees with the appellant and the appellant is dissatisfied with the determination, the appellant then has thirty (30) days in which to appeal to the City Council by filing a written notice of appeal with the City Clerk, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special Taxes. The second appeal must specify the reasons for the appellant's disagreement with the Finance Director's determination.

Section 11. Interpretations

Interpretations may be made by resolution of the City Council for purposes of clarifying any vagueness or ambiguity as it relates to any provision of this RMA. 243

Property, or Undeveloped Property as of July 1 of the Fiscal Year in which such classification occurs.

4.2 Increasing the Maximum Annual Special Tax : Beginning with Fiscal Year 2026- 2027 the Maximum Annual Special Tax Rates set forth above may be increased annually by the greater of the annual percentage change in the Index or two percent (2.00%).

Section 5. Determination of Special Tax Requirement

The City shall annually determine the Special Tax Requirement for each Fiscal Year, commencing with Fiscal Year 2026-2027. The Special Tax Requirement for each Fiscal Year shall include the cost of those Authorized Services that the City is or will be responsible to provide during all or any portion of such Fiscal Year; the proportionate share of the related Administrative Expenses allocable to the Territory; and the funding or replenishment of the Reserve Fund to the Reserve Fund Requirement. The initial f unding of the Reserve Fund shall be accomplished only through the levy of Special Taxes on Developed Property or Extraordinary Special Taxes on Approved Property and/or Undeveloped Property as provided for herein.

In any Fiscal Year during which a developer, builder, or property owner is or will be responsible for providing any Improvement Area Services, the Special Tax Requirement for such Fiscal Year shall include the Developed Properties' proportionate share of the estimated cost of providing the Improvement Area Services by the Cit y from the estimated date following the end of the developer's warranty period upon which the City will assume such maintenance responsibility to the next date thereafter on which the C ity will receive Special Taxes to finance such Improvement Area Services. For example, assume that in preparing the Fiscal Year 2026- 2027 Special Tax Requirement, the District determines that the City will become responsible for providing certain Improvement Area Services commencing on May 1, 2027. Assume that from that date the City is responsible for such maintenance costs until the end of Fiscal Year 2026-2027 (i.e., May 1, 2027 to June 30, 2027), the City's share of the cost of providing services is $2,500.

In addition, assume that the cost of providing services during Fiscal Year 2027-2028 is $10,000 such that the cost of providing services for Fiscal Year 2027-2028 until the first receipt of Special Taxes (i.e., July 1, 2027 to December 31, 2027) is $5,000. On May 1, 2027, the City will need to have on deposit $7,500 to f und the services from May 1, 2027 until December 31, 2027. To accomplish this, the Special Tax Requirement for Fiscal Year 2026-20276 shall include this additional $7,500.

Section 6. Method of Apportionment of Special Taxes

6.1. As of July 1 of each Fiscal Year, commencing with July 1, 2026 all Taxable Assessor 's
Parcels within the Territory shall be assigned to one of the Property Classifications specified in Section 3.

6.2. The City shall determine for each Fiscal Year the Special Tax Requirement.

260

C-8

6.3. The City shall levy the Special Taxes for each Fiscal Year, commencing on July 1, 2025, in the following order of priority to fund the Special Tax Requirement for such Fiscal Year:

(a) Levy the Special Tax proportionately up to the Maximum Annual Special Tax upon all Developed Property to generate Special Taxes to fund the Special Tax Requirement;

(b) If, after levying Special Taxes pursuant to (a) above, additional Special Taxes are needed to generate sufficient Special Taxes to fund the Special Tax Requirement, then levy the Special Tax proportionately up to the Maximum Annual Special Tax upon all Approved Property; and

(c) If, after levying Special Taxes pursuant to (a) and (b) above, additional Special Taxes are needed to generate sufficient Special Taxes to fund the Special Tax Requirement, then levy the Special Tax proportionately up to the Maximum Annual Special Tax upon all Assessor
's Parcels of Undeveloped Property which are subject to the levy of Special Taxes.

Section 7. Extraordinary Special Tax

Prior to the acceptance by the City of areas or improvements to be maintained as a part of the Improvement Area Services and assumption by the City of responsibility for providing such Improvement Area Services, the District shall determine, if applicable, (i) the amount, if any, in addition to those funds received from the levy of the Special Taxes on Developed Properties which are allocated to pay for Improvement Area Services, which the City will need to pay for such Improvement Area Services from the date following the end of the developer's warranty period upon which the City will assume such maintenance responsibility to the next date thereafter on which the City will receive Special Taxes to finance such Improvement Area Services and (ii) the amount, if any, in addition to those funds received from the levy of Special Taxes on Developed Properties which are allocated t o funding the Reserve Fund, which will be necessary to increase the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund to the Reserve Fund Requirement at the commencement of the Fiscal Year following the date of the assumption by the City of responsibility for providing such Improvement Area Services. Subject to the limitations on the Maximum Annual Special Tax contained in Section 4 above, the sum of (i) and (ii) above shall be levied as an Extraordinary Special Tax by direct billing on all remaining Approved Property and Undeveloped Property and such amount shall become due and payable within sixty (60) calendar days from and after the date of such direct billing.

The City shall not accept any areas or improvements or assume responsibility for providing those Improvement Area Services for which an Extraordinary Special Tax has been levied until such Special Tax has been received by the District. No further building permits shall be issued for Assessor's Parcels within the Territory if any Extraordinary Special Tax levied pursuant to this Section 7 is not paid within the time period set forth in the preceding paragraph.

261

C-9
Section 8. Manner of Collection of Special Taxes

With the exception of the Extraordinary Special Tax which shall be billed directly, the Special Taxes levied in each Fiscal Year shall be collected in the same manner as ordinary ad valorem property taxes are collected and shall be subject to the same penalties and the same procedure, sale, and lien priority in case of delinquency as is provided for ad valorem taxes; provided, however, the City Council may, by resolution, establish and adopt an alternative or supplemental collection procedure, including direct billing. The Special Taxes when levied shall be secured by the lien imposed pursuant to Section 3115.5 of the Streets and Highways Code. This lien shall be a continuing lien and shall secure each levy of Special Taxes. The lien of the Special Taxes shall continue in force and effect until the Special Tax ceases to be levied in the manner provided by Section 53330.5 of the Government Code.

Section 9. Prepayment of Special Tax

The Maximum Annual Special Tax for an individual Assessor's Parcel within the Territory of the District may be discharged through the prepayment of the special tax obligation provided that there are no delinquent special taxes with respect to that Assessor's Parcel at the time of prepayment.

Proof of payment of delinquent taxes will be provided to the City prior to the discharge of the special tax obligation. An owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Maximum Annual Special Tax shall provide the District with a written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of receipt of such written notice, the District shall notify such owner of the prepayment amount of such Assessor's Parcel.

The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as the present value of the Maximum Annual Special Tax escalated at 2%, through each fiscal year which is seventy -five years from the fiscal year in which the prepayment shall be made plus the current fiscal year special tax obligation, an amount to cover the administrative fees and expenses of the District, as calculated by the City, including, but not limited to, the costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs of removing any special taxes from the Roll, and the costs of recording a notice of special tax lien release and any additional actions required to evidence the pr epayment. The assumptions to be used when calculating the present value of the Maximum Annual Special Tax are as follows:

 The discount rate shall be equal to the rate of return earned on the City's general fund investment portfolio for the preceding twelve months.

 A 360-day year.

 The Maximum Annual Special Tax will be discounted from July 1 of each Fiscal year.

The payment in full of the amount calculated, plus the applicable administrative expenses and recording fee, fully discharges any further obligation of the parcel for the improvements funded within the District.
262

C-10

The City shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act within 30 days of receipt of such prepayment of the Maximum Annual Special Tax, to indicate the prepayment of the Maximum Annual Special Tax and the release of the special lien on such Assessor's Parcel.

Section 10. Appeals

Any landowner or resident may file a written appeal of the Special Tax on his/her property with the Finance Director, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special Taxes.

During the pendency of an appeal, all Special Taxes must be paid on or before the payment date established when the levy was made. The appeal must specify the reasons why the appellant claims the Special Tax is in error. The Finance Director shall review the appeal, meet with the appellant if the Finance Director deems necessary, and advise the appellant of its determination. If the Finance Director agrees with the appellant, the Finance Director shall eliminate or reduce the Special Tax on the appellant 's property and/or provide a refund to the appellant. If the Finance Director disagrees with the appellant and the appellant is dissatisfied with the determination, the appellant then has thirty (30) days in which to appeal to the City Council by filing a written notice of appeal with the City Clerk, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special Taxes. The second appeal must specify the reasons for the appellant's disagreement with the Finance Director's determination.

Section 11. Interpretations

Interpretations may be made by resolution of the City Council for purposes of clarifying any vagueness or ambiguity as it relates to any provision of this RMA. 263

RESOLUTIONS NO. 2026-9561 & 2026-9562 - ORDERING THE SUMMARY VACATION OF MAP 806

PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR A PORTION OF COX ROAD WITHIN SUMMER RANCH ESTATES PROJECT TSM21-0004, DECLARING THAT TRANSFER OF REAL PROPERTY PROPOSED TO BE SUMMARILY

VACATED IS EXEMPT FROM THE SURPLUS LAND ACT
Recommendation
APPROVE the following, in the order set forth below, as recommended by the Planning Commission:

1. ADOPT a resolution (VAC25-0001) ordering the summary vacation and abandonment of public right-of- way for a portion of Cox Road within the boundary of Tentative Subdivision Map TSM21-0004 for the Summer Ranch Estates project.

2. ADOPT a resolution declaring that the transfer of the real property proposed to be summarily vacated and abandoned is exempt from the Surplus Land Act; authorizing the City Attorney to seek concurrence from the California Department of Housing and Community Development with respect to such exemption; and upon receipt of such confirmation, authorizing the City Manager and City Attorney to negotiate, finalize, and execute all documents necessary for the transfer of Real Property to Summer Ranch Estates subdivision for its market value and associated costs, and to implement said transfer.

Board or Commission Action
On February 2, 2026, the Planning Commission considered the proposed summary vacation and abandonment of the public right-of-way for a portion of Cox Road in accordance with Streets and Highways Code Section 8313 and Government Code Section 65402, found it to be in conformance with the adopted General Plan, and approved Resolution PC 26-5187 recommending that City Council approve the proposed summary vacation and abandonment of the public right-of-way for said portion of Cox Road. Said portion of Cox Road is located west of Mulberry Road and is adjacent to the private property located at Assessor’s Parcel Number 182-131-14-00.

Executive Summary
Cox Road was dedicated in fee title for public street purposes by Map 806, recorded December 21, 1895, which Map area was later incorporated in its entirety as the City. City staff has determined that the subject City of San Marcos Printed on 3/20/2026Page 1 of 4
powered by Legistar™
279
File #:TMP-2414
area is an excess portion of said right of way that is no longer required for public street purposes and will not be required in future. The portion of Cox Road right-of-way proposed to be vacated is within the boundary of Tentative Subdivision Map TSM21-0004 for the Summer Ranch Estates project, adjacent to that certain private real property at APN 182-131-14-00 (Attachment 1).

Upon City Council approval of the summary vacation and abandonment and its declaration that such a transfer is exempt from the Surplus Lands Act, and contingent on concurrence by the Department of Housing and Community Development to that effect, the City Council may direct the transfer of the subject portion of Cox Road for valuable consideration to the owner of adjacent property located at APN 182-131-14-00 for incorporation into the proposed Summer Ranch Estates project TSM21-0004.

Discussion
Summary Vacation of Public Right-of-Way
California Streets and Highways Code (CSHC) section 8334(a) provides that the legislative body of a local agency may summarily vacate an excess right-of-way or highway not required for street or highway purposes.

The portion of right-of-way proposed to be vacated on Cox Road is in excess, has not been used for, and is not needed for, present or future public street purposes.

CSHC § 8334.5 requires that a street may not be summarily vacated if there are public utility facilities in-place that are in use and would be affected by the vacation. No existing public utilities are in-place; therefore, there are no public utilities that would be affected by this summary street vacation.

Planning Commission Consideration.

In accordance with CSHC § 8313 and Government Code (GC) § 65402, the local planning agency is required to consider the proposed vacation action and to report on the conformity with the adopted General Plan. Staff reviewed the limits of the proposed right-of-way summary vacation, the road and utility infrastructure existing and proposed, and the General Plan. Staff concluded that a public road is not needed for the portion of Cox Road to be vacated.

On February 2, 2026, the Planning Commission considered the proposed vacation and abandonment of the excess right-of-way in accordance with CSHC § 8313 and GC § 65402, and found the proposed vacation to be in conformance with the adopted General Plan. The Planning Commission approved Resolution PC 26-2187 (VAC25-0001) recommending that the City Council approve the summary vacation and abandonment of public right-of-way for portion of Cox Road. Pursuant to CSHC §§ 8335 and 8336(b), no public hearing is required.

Declaration of Exemption from Surplus Land Act for Transfer of Real Property If the City Council orders the vacation and abandonment of the public right-of-way for a portion of Cox Road, the encumbrance on the property represented by the vacated public street easement can be removed from the title for this property. The City Council may therefore direct the transfer of the vacated right-of-way (“Transfer Area”) for value to an adjacent property owner of APN 182-131-14-00, Mulberry 9, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Mulberry 9”).

The provisions of the Surplus Land Act (“Act”) and associated California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) Guidelines are applicable to proposed transfers of property that have been declared surplus by the legislative body. Even for the transfer of properties determined to be exempt from the City of San Marcos Printed on 3/20/2026Page 2 of 4
powered by Legistar™
280
File #:TMP-2414
provisions of the Act, the Guidelines require that such transfers be declared exempt by the governing bodies and that such declarations be submitted to HCD for its determination as to the applicability of the exemptions.

The Act, codified in the California Government Code, provides in section 54221(f)(1)(B) that the definition of “exempt surplus land” includes property that is “less than one-half acre in area and is not contiguous to land owned by a state or local agency that is used for open-space or low- and moderate-income housing purposes,” which description is consistent with the Transfer Area. The proposed Transfer Area is less than one -half acre and meets these exemption criteria; therefore, it qualifies as exempt under the Act.

Additionally, the Act provides at section 54221(f)(1)(E) that “exempt surplus land” also includes “[s]urplus land that is a former street, right-of-way, or easement, and is conveyed to an owner of an adjacent property.” The area in question also meets this definition of exempt surplus property.

The area to be vacated does not fall within the parameters of any of the following, which would require processing through at least a portion of the Act’s requirements:
(A) Within a coastal zone.
(B) Adjacent to a historical unit of the State Parks System. (C) Listed on, or determined by the State Office of Historic Preservation to be eligible for, the National Register of Historic Places.
(D) Within the Lake Tahoe region
As the property does not fall into any of the above categories, and does meet two of the exceptions to the application of the Act as described above, staff concluded that the Act is inapplicable to the proposed transfer upon vacation.

To facilitate these actions, staff requests that City Council authorize the City Attorney to seek assistance from HCD on the exemptions from the Act for the Transfer Area and, contingent upon receipt of confirmation from HCD that the transfer would be exempt, authorize the City Manager and City Attorney to negotiate, finalize, and execute all documents associated with the real property transfer of the Transfer Area to the owner of adjacent property located at APN 182-131-14-00, for consideration as discussed in the Fiscal Impact section, below.

Environmental Review
The proposed vacation and abandonment within Tentative Subdivision Map TSM 21-0004 is within the scope of the Mitigated Negative Declaration (ND22-007) (SCH No. 2025010341) which is in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15162. Further, the proposed vacation and abandonment is deemed Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15305 Class 5 (Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations), in that this is minor realignment of right-of-way.

Moreover, the transfer of real property interest contemplated to occur under this action would not constitute a “project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, Sections 15000-15387) and is therefore not subject to City of San Marcos Printed on 3/20/2026Page 3 of 4

environmental review pursuant to Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3).

Fiscal Impact
If the proposed transfer of real property interest is authorized by City Council and the transaction is finalized, the City would receive payment based on the Transfer Area’s market valuation of $14,361. This valuation was based on the recent appraisal of the adjacent property. Any and all costs and expenses associated with the real property transfer of the Transfer Area, including escrow and title costs, will also be the obligation of the owner of adjacent property located at APN 182-131-14-00.

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-9563 - APPROVING CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS FOR THE 2026 PAVEMENT OVERLAY PROJECT (CIP #ST022), AND CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT, AND APPROPRIATING

ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR SAID PROJECT
Recommendation
ADOPT a resolution approving the construction documents for the 2026 Pavement Overlay Project (CIP #ST022), delegating authority to the City Engineer to finalize the same, authorizing advertisement to bid, and delegating to and authorizing the City Manager to award, negotiate, finalize, and execute the construction contract, and appropriating additional funds for said Project.

Board or Commission Action
N/A
Executive Summary
The 2026 Pavement Overlay Project (Project) will rehabilitate the pavement on portions of Barham Drive, Woodland Parkway, Rancheros Drive, Nordahl Road, Center Drive, and Avenida Ricardo. City staff recommend that the City Council approve the construction documents, that it authorize the City Manager to award, negotiate, finalize, and execute the contract documents, and further that the Council appropriate additional funds necessary for construction of the Project.

Discussion
The Project will rehabilitate the pavement on portions of Barham Drive, Woodland Parkway, Rancheros Drive, Nordahl Road, Center Drive, and Avenida Ricardo, thereby extending the useful life thereof. The Project will also replace existing curb ramps at the signalized intersections with new ADA compliant ones. Traffic signal and bike lane improvements are also part of the Project.

As with other pavement resurfacing projects, staff typically review and refine the striping and pavement markings to improve safety for all modes of travel. Typical striping and pavement marking refinements include adding new bike lanes or enhancing existing bike lanes, where sufficient space exists. This Project will provide bike lane buffers, ensuring continuation of enhanced bike lanes within and surrounding the Project limits.

Staff recommend that the City Council approve the construction documents, that it authorize the City Engineer to finalize the same, and that it authorize the City Manager to award the construction contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and to negotiate, finalize, and execute the construction contract to City of San Marcos Printed on 3/20/2026Page 1 of 2

expedite construction activities. Staff further recommend that the City Council appropriate funds for the Project as described in the Fiscal Impact discussion, below.

Environmental Review
The Project is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, Existing Facilities Class 1(c). This includes the proposed project scope to do minor alterations to existing public facilities including streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle lanes, and similar facilities involving negligible or no expansion.

Fiscal Impact
Project (CIP #ST022) is approved in the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Capital Improvement Program Budget and is funded with Gas Tax, RMRA, and TransNet LSI funds; however, additional funds are required to complete the Project. Approval of the proposed Resolution would amend the FY 2025-26 Capital Improvement Program budget to appropriate $110,000 from the Center Drive Maintenance District Fund (Fund 211) balance to CIP #ST022.

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-9564 - APPROVING A TEMPORARY NIGHTTIME WORK HOUR WAIVER FOR

THE SAN MARCOS BOULEVARD DUAL LEFT-TURN LANE EXTENSION AT RANCHO SANTA FE ROAD PROJECT (CIP# ST005)
Recommendation
ADOPT a resolution approving a temporary nighttime work hour waiver of the requirements of Resolution No. 2002-5865 to allow daytime work hours for the San Marcos Boulevard Dual Left-Turn Lane Extension at Rancho Santa Fe Road Project (CIP# ST005).

Board or Commission Action
N/A
Executive Summary
Pursuant to Resolution No. 2002-5865, work on that portion of San Marcos Boulevard from the westerly city limits to Knoll Road which necessitates a lane closure must be completed at night or on the weekends. A waiver of this requirement requires approval from City Council and will allow the contractor for the San Marcos Boulevard Dual Left-Turn Lane Extension at Rancho Santa Fe Road Project (Project) to conduct work during the daytime.

Discussion
In May 2002, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2002-5865, which specifies that work within the San Marcos Boulevard public right-of-way from Knoll Road to the westerly city limits which necessitates a lane closure in either direction must be completed during nighttime off-peak hours or on the weekends. . City staff have evaluated the Project and determined that lane closures are required to complete the work, and that daytime work hours are necessary to accommodate the work in an expeditious and efficient manner.

Construction is scheduled during the summer months and is planned to occur when nearby schools, including San Marcos High School, are not in session. Constructing these improvements during daytime working hours and during the summer months will increase construction efficiency, reduce construction costs, and help maintain an expeditious project schedule.

Therefore, staff recommend that the City Council approve a waiver of the requirements of Resolution No. 2002 -5865 and allow work to occur along San Marcos Boulevard during daytime hours as approved by the City Engineer for the Project as described above.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with the proposed Resolution, however, allowing daytime work hours for the Project should result in reduced construction costs.

SERVICE, LLC FOR PROPRIETARY PIERCE FIRE APPARATUS PARTS, AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY

MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE, FINALIZE, AND EXECUTE SAID AGREEMENT AND ALL RELATED

DOCUMENTS
Recommendation
ADOPT a resolution approving a multi-year agreement with ReNewell Fleet Service, LLC for the purchase and delivery of proprietary Pierce fire apparatus replacement parts in an amount not to exceed $1,500,000 over a five-year term and authorizing the City Manager or designee to negotiate, finalize, and execute the agreement and all related documents.

Board or Commission Action
Not Applicable
Executive Summary
The San Marcos Fire Department relies on Pierce Manufacturing fire apparatus to support emergency response operations throughout the community. Maintaining these vehicles requires proprietary replacement parts designed specifically for Pierce apparatus systems to ensure continued operational reliability.

Approval of a multi-year agreement with ReNewell Fleet Service, LLC will allow Fleet Services to procure proprietary Pierce aftermarket parts over a five-year term in an amount not to exceed $1,500,000. This agreement will ensure the City can efficiently obtain genuine replacement parts necessary to maintain reliable emergency response vehicles and support continued public safety.

Discussion
The San Marcos Fire Department relies on Pierce Manufacturing fire apparatus to support emergency response operations including fire suppression, rescue services, and life safety incidents throughout the community. Fleet Services performs routine maintenance and repairs on these vehicles to ensure they remain fully operational and available for emergency response.

Many replacement components used in Pierce apparatus, including but not limited to, pump assemblies, electrical modules, body components, and integrated vehicle systems, are proprietary to Pierce Manufacturing City of San Marcos Printed on 3/20/2026Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
301
File #:TMP-2413
and must be sourced through authorized Pierce distributors to ensure compatibility with manufacturer- designed systems and continued operational reliability.

Pierce Manufacturing maintains a regional dealer network and authorizes only one dealer per geographic service region to distribute genuine Pierce replacement parts and provide aftermarket support. For the region serving the City of San Marcos, ReNewell Fleet Service, LLC is the exclusive authorized Pierce dealer.

In accordance with San Marcos Municipal Code Section 2.30 (Purchasing), the City may procure equipment, materials, and services through a sole source purchase when the required goods are available from only one authorized provider. Because Pierce Manufacturing restricts the sale and distribution of proprietary parts to its authorized regional dealer, the City cannot obtain these components from other vendors or competitive suppliers. Accordingly, ReNewell Fleet Service, LLC is the sole source provider for genuine Pierce aftermarket parts required to maintain the City’s Pierce fire apparatus fleet.

This multi-year agreement establishes a five-year contract with ReNewell Fleet Service, LLC for the purchase and delivery of Pierce aftermarket parts. The agreement provides the City with a 10% reduction in pricing, resulting in cost savings to the City over the term of the agreement.

Approval of this agreement will allow Fleet Services to efficiently procure genuine Pierce replacement parts necessary to maintain emergency response vehicles and minimize downtime affecting fire apparatus availability.

Environmental Review
The activity performed under this action is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines and is therefore not subject to environmental review.

Fiscal Impact
The proposed agreement authorizes expenditures not to exceed $1,500,000 over a five-year period for Pierce aftermarket parts. Funding for these purchases is available within the Fleet Maintenance operating budget in General Fund (Fund 100) and the Measure Q Fund (606) and will be used on an as-needed basis to support maintenance and repair of the City’s fire apparatus fleet. Future year expenditures will be budgeted in the Fleet Maintenance operating budgets, subject to council approval.

This action does not represent a new capital expenditure and does not commit the City to additional future costs beyond routine maintenance and operational expenses.

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-9566 - APPROVE THE ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT ON HOUSING ELEMENT COMPLIANCE FOR 2025
Recommendation
ADOPT resolution approving the Annual Progress Report and Addendum (SB341 Report) on Implementation of the Housing Element.

Board or Commission Action
N/A
Executive Summary
The Housing Element is a state-mandated component of the General Plan that identifies the City’s housing conditions and needs, establishes the goals, objectives, and policies that are the foundation of the city’s housing strategy. The current Housing Element was adopted by the City Council on July 13, 2021 and covers the planning period October 15, 2021 through October 15, 2029. The State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) certified on August 3, 2021, that the City’s Housing Element complied with state law. California Government Code Section 65400 mandates that all cities and counties submit an annual progress report on the implementation of its Housing Element to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and HCD. The City has complied with these requirements in the past and will continue to do so in the future. The State’s Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA) goals will continue to be used as the benchmark for compliance reporting purposes.

In addition, the California Health & Safety Code Section 34176, as amended by Senate Bill 341, has mandated an annual successor housing entity report and that the report be submitted to HCD as an addendum to the Annual Progress Report. Accordingly, this additional report is enclosed as Attachment A to the Annual Progress Report.

Discussion
Cal. Gov. Code § 65400 requires that the Annual Progress Report be considered during a City Council meeting where members of the public shall be allowed to provide oral testimony and written comments. The City’s Annual Progress Report on Implementation of the Housing Element for calendar year 2024 is provided as Attachment 2. It addresses the following topics:
· Progress in meeting the State designated RHNA goals for the city. · Attainment of housing goals and objectives in the 2021-2029 Housing Element City of San Marcos Printed on 3/23/2026Page 1 of 3

File #:26-2826
· Detail on housing development applications received, new construction entitlements, building permits, and completed units
· Detail on sites identified or rezoned to accommodate housing needs The RHNA is State mandated and requires that each city accommodate its fair share of the region’s housing need by providing for a mix of housing for all economic segments. The RHNA is linked to various factors, including the availability of adequate sites with appropriate zoning. It also takes into consideration sites that are vacant or underutilized. The city’s current RHNA allocation is 3,116 units, and 88 percent of these units have been permitted, with a majority of the units in the moderate to above moderate category. The required remaining units fall within the very low to low-income categories.

A breakdown of the City’s RHNA allocation and the progress the city has made towards those goals is shown in greater detail on Table B of the attached report. The current RHNA cycle ends on December 31, 2029. 2021- 2029 Regional Housing Needs Assessment Allocation by Income Very Low Low Moderate Above Moderate Total

Permitted Units Issued by Affordability

Total Remaining RHNA By Income Level
536 227 763
The City continues to implement the Inclusionary Housing ordinance to support the development of Very-Low and Low-Income housing through the collection of an in-lieu fee, on-site development, and collaboration with affordable housing developers.

Additionally, California Health & Safety Code Section 34176 as amended by Senate Bill 341 has mandated an annual successor housing entity report be submitted to HCD as an addendum to the Annual Progress Report.

The period of time covered in the annual successor housing entity report is for the previous fiscal year from July 1 through June 30. Accordingly, this additional report is enclosed as Attachment A to the Annual Progress report covering the most recent fiscal year ending June 30, 2025.

Environmental Review
Section 15378(a) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3) defines an activity as a “project” if it has the potential to result in either a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change to the environment. The proposed adoption of a Resolution approving the Annual Progress Report and addendum on Implementation of the Housing Element for calendar year 2025 is not a project within the meaning of CEQA because there is no potential for it to result in a physical change in the environment, either directly or indirectly.

In accordance with Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the 2021 Housing Element’s environmental documentation was an Addendum to the 2012 General Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2011071028), The Public Review Draft of the 2021-2029 Housing Element was available for a 30-day review City of San Marcos Printed on 3/23/2026Page 2 of 3

period starting on March 12, 2021.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to submitting these annual progress reports. Failure to submit the annual progress report could limit the City’s ability to successfully compete for grants administered by the State government.

In addition to the importance of annually reviewing the City’s progress in meeting its Housing Element goals, the State government has increasingly tied various competitive funding programs for non-housing-related activities (such as infrastructure and parks) to a jurisdiction’s compliance with Housing Element law, including having a certified Housing Element and submittal to HCD of the jurisdiction’s annual housing element progress report.

SUBJECT:

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-9555 - APPROVING THE 2025 GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT Recommendation
ADOPT a resolution approving the 2025 General Plan Annual Progress Report.

Board or Commission Action
Not applicable
Executive Summary
The City of San Marcos has prepared the 2025 Annual Progress Report (APR) in accordance with California Government Code Sections 65400 and 65700. The statutory provisions require all cities within California to submit an annual report to the Governor's Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI) each year (formerly the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research, or OPR) summarizing the city’s progress towards implementing its General Plan. Charter cities were exempt from this requirement prior to January 1, 2019; however, as Section 501 of the San Marcos Charter requires the City to comply with land use, planning, and zoning requirements applicable to general law cities, the City has previously submitted information for calendar years 2012 through 2024 and continues that practice with the submittal of the 2025 APR.

Discussion
The Annual Progress Report (APR) is a public document providing local legislative bodies, as well as the public, with updates and information regarding the implementation status of a city’s General Plan. The report is designed to include sufficient information for decision makers to adequately assess how effectively the General Plan programs were implemented during the 2025 reporting period. In addition to serving as a reporting tool, the APR can be used to identify necessary "course adjustments" or modifications to the General Plan to improve implementation.

APRs provide an opportunity for LCI to identify statewide trends in land use decision-making and how local planning and development activities relate to statewide land use trends and policies. The City’s 2012 General Plan includes an Implementation Plan to ensure the overall direction provided in the General Plan is translated from general terms to specific actions. Each implementation program identifies a measure, procedure, or task that requires additional City action and may implement one or more policies across multiple General Plan elements.

It is primarily the responsibility of City staff to carry out the programs identified in the Implementation Plan.

File #:TMP-2399
Departments within the City may enact, implement, or maintain these programs individually, in collaboration with other departments, outside agencies, and/or private developers, as appropriate. Implementation tools include, but are not limited to the City’s Municipal Code, Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, development agreements, and specific plans.

The Implementation Plan is reviewed and may be updated with the budgeting process and in conjunction with the City’s General Plan amendments to ensure continued consistency and usefulness. The City’s General Fund is the primary source of funding for the implementation of the General Plan. Several other fees and funding sources are used to implement the General Plan. These funding sources are listed as applicable in each implementation program. Implementation of the specific programs is subject to funding constraints.

The Implementation Plan serves as the foundation for the preparation of the 2025 APR for the City of San Marcos. The approximate overall implementation status of all programs in the Implementation Plan are as follows:
· Ongoing (80%): programs that are intended to be ongoing efforts · Completed (5.5%): programs that are considered complete · Partially Completed (4.5%): programs that have been started and are partially complete · Scheduled (1%): programs that have not yet been started but are scheduled · Not Implemented (9%): programs that have neither been started nor scheduled In addition to program status updates, the APR highlights major milestones or projects the City has made progress on over the past year in the APR. This discussion section is provided to support the City Council review of the 2025 Annual Progress Report prior to its submittal to the State.

Environmental Review
Section 15378(a) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3) defines an activity as a “project” if it has the potential to result in either a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change to the environment. The proposed adoption of a Resolution approving the Annual Progress Report is not a project within the meaning of CEQA because there is no potential for it to result in a physical change in the environment, either directly or indirectly.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with the APR approval process.

1. Introduction
Purpose
Government Code Section 65400 and 65700 mandates that all cities submit an annual progress report (APR) on the status of the General Plan and progress in its implementation to their legislative bodies and the Governor's Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI) each year (formerly the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) ). This allows LCI to identify statewide trends in land use decision making and how local planning and development activities relate to statewide planning goals and policies. APRs may also inform future modifications to LCI’s General Plan Guidelines.

The APR is an opportunity to provide City Council and the public with information regarding implementation of the San Marcos General Plan during the previous year. Section 4 of this report specifically details the status of each program included in the City’s Implementation Plan.

Process
City staff used an online database to collaboratively enter information regarding the status of each program within the City’s Implementation Plan. This information was then entered into section 4 of this report. City staff also sh ared information via email regarding any major milestones or projects the City has made progress on over the past year, and this information is included in section 5.

General Plan Update
The last comprehensive update to the City’s General Plan was in 2012. It was adopted by City Council Resolution on February 14, 2012. On July 13, 2021, the City Council adopted the Housing Element for 2021-2029. On November 9, 2021, the City Council adopted updates to the Safety Element and adopted a new Environmental Justice Element. The Mobility Element was updated on July 23, 2024.

City Priorities
In 2025, the City prioritized initiating grant funding for projects that would further housing opportunities in the City. The City is also making improvements to public safety with the establishment of critical new firefighting infrastructure.

Additionally, in 2025, the City began implementing the new Inclusionary Housing requirements, including the new In-Lieu fee adopted in 2024 and initiated in March 2025. All new residential projects coming to the City, will apply the new Inclusionary Housing requirements or the new In- Lieu fee of $15 per square foot of living space.

Efficient Development
In January 2025, the City reinitiated consideration and evaluation of a potential amendment to the Zoning Ordinance and associated actions to add a senior residential overlay zone to age - restricted mobile home parks in the Residential Manufactured Home Park (R-MHP) Zone. The proposed overlay zone would provide that the mobile home park shall remain age -restricted to residents 55 years or older, as defined and by the U.S. Fair Housing Act.

In January 2025, the City started a grant funded update to its San Marcos Creek Specific Plan.

The San Marcos Creek Specific Plan was originally adopted in 2007. It currently provides for up to 2,300 housing units, 1.2 million square feet of retail space, and 600,000 square feet of office space. Since the plan’s adoption, several major events have impacted the feasibility of private development in the area, including:

 Economic uncertainty, starting with the 2008 global financial crisis  Dissolution of redevelopment agencies by the State of California (taking away an important funding source)
 Build-out of the adjacent University District/North City area  Shifting market demands for retail and office space following the COVID-19 pandemic

In addition, the completion of major capital improvement projects, including flood control, new bridges, parks, and open space, has reshaped the plan area's development landscape.

The Creek Plan Update seeks to respond to these changes by revising the San Marcos Creek Specific Plan to better reflect current conditions, challenges, and opportunities.

In January 2025, the City initiated a grant funded feasibility study to determine the suitability and development potential of City -owned property within the Civic Center f or affordable housing or mixed-use development.

In April 2025, the City initiated entitlements for the future site of a new Fire Station (No. 5). The City of San Marcos is advancing development of Fire Station No. 5, a critical public-safety facility, intended to improve emergency response times, expand service capacity, and address coverage gaps in the eastern portion of the City.

In November 2025, City Council approved comprehensive updates to the Zoning Ordinance. Over time, as City staff have implemented the Zoning Ordinance, they have identified various inconsistencies, conflicting information, and discrepancies with state law, highligh ting the need for updates.

Interagency Coordination Efforts
In 2025, the City coordinated with the surrounding cities of Escondido, Vista, Carlsbad, and North County Transit District on development projects, as well as with the County of San Diego on major land development projects adjacent to San Marcos.

The City continues to engage with the primary stakeholders, including the School District and water districts, on land development projects.

Issue: Parking
M-4.1: Ensure that parking is “right sized” for all
modes of travel. This can be accomplished by:
• Determining and updating appropriate parking
standards for bicycles and electric vehicles;
• Reducing parking standards, as appropriate, for
employment around areas served by transit in mixed-
use districts;
• Update the City’s parking code as needed to ensure
appropriate rates are being used for new
development;
• Use smart parking techniques when developing
parking requirements in mixed-use development
areas.

Board or Commission Action
On April 8, 2025, the City Council conducted a public hearing to review proposed goals for the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan and authorized release of those documents for a 30-day public review period.

On May 13, 2025, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2025-9434 adopting the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan.

Executive Summary
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) allocates annual funding to entitlement jurisdictions through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Funds must be used for eligible activities benefiting low- and moderate-income (LMI) residents and must be consistent with the City’s Consolidated Plan. The current Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) was approved on May 13, 2025, and runs through June 30, 2029.

HUD requires the City to conduct a public hearing to provide notice that the Annual Action Plan (AAP) and Substantial Amendment will be available for a 30-day public comment period beginning March 20, 2026. The Notice of Public Hearing and request for public comment was published in the Coast News and Hispanos Unidos on March 13, 2026.

Discussion
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and requires entitlement jurisdictions to prepare a five-year Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) identifying priority housing and community development needs. The ConPlan is implemented through Annual Action Plans (AAPs), which outline the activities and funding allocations proposed for each program year to address the priorities identified in the ConPlan. Grantees report progress toward these goals annually through the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).

CDBG-funded activities must meet one of three national objectives:
• Benefit low- and moderate-income (LMI) persons
• Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight • Meet a need having a particular urgency
The primary national objective of the CDBG program is to benefit low- and moderate-income persons. HUD requires that at least 70 percent of CDBG funds be used for activities that benefit LMI households. Low- and moderate-income is defined by HUD as household income at or below 80 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI) for the County.

Draft 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan: The Draft PY 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan outlines the City’s proposed use of CDBG funding for the upcoming program year beginning July 1, 2026. Proposed activities are consistent with priorities identified in the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, including housing affordability, improvements to community facilities, neighborhood infrastructure improvements within qualifying low- and moderate-income areas, public service programs, and program administration.

The City issued a Notice of Funding Availability inviting nonprofit organizations to submit proposals for eligible public service activities. Applications were accepted through March 6, 2026, and staff is currently conducting an eligibility review and evaluation of proposals. Staff will return to City Council following the public comment period with recommended public service providers and proposed funding allocations for consideration as part of adoption of the Annual Action Plan.

HUD regulations limit public service activities to 15 percent of the annual CDBG allocation and program administration to 20 percent, with remaining funds used for housing and capital improvement activities.

Reinstated funds totaling $496,937, reflect prior-year CDBG resources restored to the City's line of credit following repayment processing through HUD’s Line of Credit Control System (LOCCS). These funds are directed toward park infrastructure improvements to support timely expenditure of CDBG funds.

Timeliness Requirement: HUD requires entitlement jurisdictions to administer CDBG funds in a timely manner. Specifically, a grantee’s line of credit balance must not exceed 1.5 times the annual grant amount 60 days before the end of the program year. Failure to meet this standard may result in reductions to future CDBG allocations. The City has not met this timeliness expenditure standard in recent program years and has developed an expenditure plan to improve compliance. The proposed amendments prioritize construction- ready projects to support timely expenditure of CDBG funds.

Substantial Amendments: Staff has prepared substantial amendments to the PY 2023-2024 and PY 2025- 2026 Annual Action Plans to adjust project funding allocations, update project budgets to reflect finalized construction costs, and process a repayment installment to HUD. Funding is being reallocated from one capital improvement project to construction-ready projects that will allow the City to expend funds more quickly and improve compliance with HUD timeliness requirements.

Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 91.200(c), 91.220(b)

1. Introduction
The City of San Marcos is an entitlement jurisdiction under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and receives annual federal funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to support housing and community development activities that benefit low- and moderate-income residents. The Program Year 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan (PY 2026) describes how the City will allocate available CDBG resources during the program year in accordance with priorities identified in the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan.

For PY 2026, the City anticipates approximately $703,648 in annual entitlement funding and an estimated $496,937 in restored repayment funds. These resources will support housing affordability programs, improvements to community facilities, neighborhood infrastructure improvements located within qualifying low- and moderate-income areas, public service programs, and program administration. Restored repayment funds are anticipated to support capital improvements to neighborhood infrastructure located within qualifying low- and moderate-income areas.

The activities described in this Annual Action Plan are intended to improve housing conditions, enhance neighborhood infrastructure and accessibility, and support services that assist low- and moderate- income residents and vulnerable populations. These activities reflect priorities identified through community outreach conducted during preparation of the 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan, along with ongoing coordination with community partners and consideration of City Council priorities identified during the program year.

2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.

The city’s CDBG program is guided by priorities identified in the 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan. These priorities were informed through analysis of housing and community development needs as well as public outreach conducted during preparation of the Consolidated Plan.

Primary objectives for the PY 2026 program year include:
• preservation and rehabilitation of affordable housing • improvements to community facilities serving low- and moderate-income residents and vulnerable populations
• neighborhood-scale infrastructure improvements in qualifying low- and moderate-income areas • support for nonprofit organizations providing services to vulnerable populations 393

Annual Action Plan
2026
5 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• promotion of fair housing education and outreach
Through these activities, the City seeks to improve housing stability, enhance accessibility to community resources, and improve neighborhood conditions for low- and moderate-income residents.

3. Evaluation of past performance
This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or projects.

The city evaluates CDBG performance annually through the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), which documents progress toward Consolidated Plan goals. Recent CDBG accomplishments include improvements to community infrastructure and facilities, fair housing education and counseling, and public service activities assisting low- and moderate-income residents and other vulnerable populations. These outcomes, along with experience from program implementation, informed the city’s Program Year 2026 priorities focused on housing affordability programs, community facility improvements, neighborhood infrastructure improvements in qualifying low- and moderate-income areas, and support for eligible public service activities.

Implementation experience has also reinforced the importance of clearly documenting national objective compliance and prioritizing neighborhood-serving infrastructure improvements within qualifying low- and moderate-income areas.

4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process Summary from citizen participation section of plan.

Citizen participation is a critical component of the City’s Consolidated Planning process and ongoing administration of the CDBG program. The City conducts outreach efforts to gather input from residents, community organizations, service providers, and other stakeholders regarding housing and community development priorities.

During preparation of the 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan, the City conducted community outreach that included stakeholder consultations, public workshops, and a community needs survey. Input gathered through this outreach process continues to guide the City’s investment priorities for subsequent Annual Action Plans, including the Program Year 2026 Action Plan. These outreach efforts provided residents and community partners with opportunities to identify local priorities and share feedback regarding housing conditions, infrastructure needs, and service gaps affecting low- and moderate-income residents.

Input received during the outreach process identified several recurring needs, including affordable housing opportunities, housing rehabilitation assistance for homeowners, accessibility improvements, services for seniors and persons with disabilities, and improvements to neighborhood infrastructure such as lighting and pedestrian accessibility.

AP-10 Consultation - 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)

1. Introduction
The City of San Marcos consults with public agencies, nonprofit organizations, housing providers, and community stakeholders regarding housing and community development needs affecting local residents. Many of the consultations reflected in this section occurred during preparation of the 2025– 2029 Consolidated Plan and continue to inform the City’s Annual Action Plans.

Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l)).

The Housing Authority of the County of San Diego (HACSD) serves as the City’s public housing agency.

The City of San Marcos does not operate its own public housing agency. The HACSD is committed to enhancing coordination among housing providers, private and governmental health agencies, and the business and nonprofit communities. This is evidenced by the many boards, commissions, and committees that serve in an advisory capacity to the County, assist in planning decisions, and often benefit from County representation and resources. County staff participates in and/or supports standing and special citizen boards, commissions, committees and task forces formed to advise the Board of Supervisors on issues and policies and to serve as links to the community. County committees are created as a result of state and federal legislation, agreements with public or private agencies and local needs. Boards, commissions and committees advise the Board of Supervisors on issues related to community needs throughout the county. HACSD is a department within the County’s Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA), which provides vital health and social services to over 3.3 million residents. As matrix organization, the Agency is made up of Service Departments that develop services and policies governing HHSA programs and Regional Operations (Regions) that deploy customer service processes throughout the county and convene community leaders. Service Departments include Aging and Independent Services, Behavioral Health Services, Child Welfare Services, Public Health Services, and Self-Sufficiency Services.

Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.

The Housing Authority of the County of San Diego (HACSD) serves as the City’s public housing agency. In January 2017, the Regional Task Force on the Homeless (RTFH) merged with the San Diego Regional Continuum of Care Council (RCCC) to become the region’s Continuum of Care. The retooled RTFH is a major stakeholder in addressing homelessness throughout the region and its relationship with the County and other jurisdictions in the region. The County is an active member of the RTFH, with a Board Supervisor currently serving as the RTFH Governance Board Vice-Chair. The RTFH meets on a monthly basis to identify gaps in homeless services, establish funding priorities, and to pursue an overall 397

Annual Action Plan
2026
9 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
systematic approach to address homelessness. During these meetings, jurisdictions consult with the RTFH to develop cooperative plans and strategies that leverage resources to provide emergency shelter and rapid re-housing services. The County’s participation in this forum ensures that its efforts to address homelessness using HUD entitlement funds and other resources are aligned with the region’s priorities and respond to the most critical needs.

Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction’s area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS The Housing Authority of the County of San Diego (HACSD) serves as the City’s public housing agency.

The City of San Marcos does not receive ESG funds. According to the County of San Diego, ESG is designed to support the first steps in preventing homelessness and to help people experiencing homelessness move toward safe and healthy living. ESG funds can be used by emergency shelter operators and other service providers for activities such as street outreach, homelessness prevention, rapid re-housing and data collection. Each year, the County receives ESG funding from HUD. There are four types of programs in San Diego County currently funded with ESG funds: Rapid Re-housing, Homeless Prevention, Emergency Shelter, and Street Outreach. The County, as the Administrative Entity for the Continuum of Care Allocation, also receives funding from the State of California to carry out the State ESG program in the San Diego region.

1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal-setting

The city of San Marcos encourages public participation in the planning and implementation of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) activities. The city’s Citizen Participation Plan establishes procedures to ensure that residents, community organizations, and other stakeholders have opportunities to participate in the development of the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plans.

During preparation of the 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan, the city conducted several outreach efforts designed to gather input from residents and community stakeholders. These outreach activities included community workshops, stakeholder consultations, and a community needs survey.

Input received during the Consolidated Plan outreach process identified several priority needs affecting low- and moderate-income residents. Residents and stakeholders emphasized the importance of preserving affordable housing, improving neighborhood infrastructure and accessibility, supporting services for vulnerable populations, and maintaining community facilities that serve low- and moderate- income residents.

These priorities continue to guide the city’s investment decisions under the CDBG program and inform the activities included in the Program Year 2026 Annual Action Plan, including housing affordability programs, neighborhood infrastructure improvements, community facility improvements, and public service programs.

In addition to outreach conducted during preparation of the Consolidated Plan, the city continues to coordinate with local service providers, nonprofit organizations, and regional partners throughout the year to monitor community needs and inform program implementation.

The outreach activities summarized below were conducted during preparation of the 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan and continue to inform the city’s CDBG investment priorities.

Expected Resources
AP-15 Expected Resources - 91.420(b), 91.220(c)(1,2)
Introduction
The City of San Marcos anticipates receiving approximately $703,648 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement funding for Program Year 2026. This estimate is based on the City’s most recent entitlement allocation.

In addition to the annual entitlement allocation, The City anticipates approximately $496,937 in restored CDBG funds following repayment processing through HUD’s Line of Credit Control System (LOCCS).

These funds will be returned to the City’s CDBG line of credit and will be available for eligible activities consistent with the priorities identified in the 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan.

Restored repayment funds will primarily support construction-ready neighborhood infrastructure improvements within qualifying low- and moderate-income areas, including park and public infrastructure projects that advance the City’s CDBG timeliness expenditure plan.

The annual entitlement allocation will support housing affordability programs, community facility improvements, public services, and program administration. Restored repayment funds will support neighborhood infrastructure improvements located within qualifying low- and moderate-income areas.

The City will continue to coordinate CDBG investments with other local, regional, and nonprofit resources to maximize the impact of available funding.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied The City coordinates CDBG investments with other public and private funding sources to maximize the impact of available resources. CDBG funding is often used to complement other local and regional programs supporting housing, infrastructure, and community services.

The City collaborates with nonprofit organizations, regional service providers, and public agencies to leverage additional resources and expand service delivery to low- and moderate- income residents. These partnerships help ensure that CDBG funding supports broader community development efforts and enhances the effectiveness of other housing and social service programs.

If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan The City periodically evaluates publicly owned facilities and properties to determine whether improvements or rehabilitation projects may support housing or community development objectives identified in the Consolidated Plan.

Public facilities serving low- and moderate-income residents, including community centers, parks, and other public buildings, may be considered for improvements using CDBG funding when such improvements enhance accessibility, safety, or service delivery to eligible populations.

Discussion
The City anticipates that a combination of annual entitlement funding and restored repayment funds will provide additional opportunities to support capital improvements and housing- related activities benefiting low- and moderate-income residents.

Because repayment funds may be restored to the City’s CDBG line of credit at various times during the program year, the City structures its CDBG program to maintain flexibility in allocating resources among eligible activities consistent with Consolidated Plan priorities.

This approach allows the City to respond to emerging opportunities for eligible projects while maintaining compliance with federal program requirements and the City’s Citizen Participation Plan.

The City prioritizes implementation of construction-ready infrastructure projects to support timely expenditure of CDBG funds and maintain compliance with HUD timeliness requirements. 406

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
The City of San Marcos allocates CDBG funds based on priorities identified in the 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan and community outreach conducted during the planning process. Funding priorities for Program Year 2026 include housing affordability programs, community facility improvements, neighborhood infrastructure improvements in qualifying low- and moderate-income areas, and public service programs that support vulnerable populations. These allocations are intended to improve housing conditions, enhance accessibility and safety in neighborhoods, and support services for low- income residents.

The primary obstacle to addressing underserved needs is the limited level of CDBG funding available relative to the scale of community needs. Federal eligibility requirements and national objective criteria also influence which activities may be funded.

AP-50 Geographic Distribution - 91.420, 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed Low- and moderate-income areas in San Marcos are generally concentrated in the central and northern portions of the city, as identified through HUD census tract data and shown in Figure 1. These areas include neighborhoods surrounding Richmar Avenue and other areas meeting HUD’s Low- and Moderate-Income Area (LMA) thresholds.

CDBG investments are directed toward activities that primarily benefit low- and moderate-income residents. Neighborhood infrastructure improvements are generally prioritized within qualifying LMA areas, while housing affordability programs and public service activities may be implemented citywide but are restricted to households that meet HUD low- and moderate-income eligibility requirements.

Geographic Distribution
Target Area Percentage of Funds
CDBG Low- and Moderate-Income Target Areas 100%
Table 8 - Geographic Distribution

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The City prioritizes investments that primarily benefit low- and moderate-income residents consistent with HUD national objective requirements. Infrastructure improvements are generally targeted toward qualifying low- and moderate-income areas where neighborhood conditions can be improved through park improvements, accessibility upgrades, lighting improvements, and other safety enhancements.

Other activities, including housing affordability programs and public service programs, are implemented citywide but are limited to eligible low- and moderate-income households.

This geographic approach allows the city to prioritize investments in areas with higher concentrations of low- and moderate-income households while ensuring that eligible residents throughout the community may benefit from housing and public service programs.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing -91.420, 91.220(j) Introduction
The city of San Marcos recognizes that a variety of public and private factors can affect the availability and affordability of housing. These factors may include land use regulations, development costs, market conditions, and limited availability of land suitable for residential development. The city evaluates these factors through its Consolidated Plan, Housing Element, and other housing planning efforts to identify potential barriers to the production and preservation of affordable housing.

Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment
The city works to reduce barriers to affordable housing through ongoing evaluation of local policies and coordination with state and regional housing programs. Efforts include maintaining development standards that support a range of housing types, implementing programs identified in the Housing Element, and coordinating with regional agencies to expand housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income households. The city also supports housing preservation efforts through programs such as housing affordability programs funded through the Community Development Block Grant program.

Discussion
The city continues to implement policies and programs intended to reduce barriers to affordable housing and support the preservation of existing housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income households. Actions may include maintaining development standards that support a range of housing types, coordinating housing planning efforts with regional and state housing requirements, and supporting programs that assist low- and moderate-income homeowners.

Through the Community Development Block Grant program, the city supports housing affordability programs that help preserve existing housing stock and improve housing conditions for low- and moderate-income households. The city will continue to evaluate public policies and programs to ensure they do not unduly constrain the availability of affordable housing while maintaining health, safety, and community development objectives.

AP-85 Other Actions - 91.420, 91.220(k)
Introduction
The city will continue to work with private developers, nonprofit organizations, regional partners, and other public agencies to address underserved needs among low- and moderate-income residents.

Through these partnerships, the city seeks to improve housing opportunities, expand access to supportive services, and coordinate community development efforts throughout the region.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The city will continue to support programs and partnerships that address the needs of low- and moderate-income residents, including affordable housing development, housing preservation, public services, and improvements to community facilities. The city coordinates with regional partners, including the Alliance for Regional Solutions and other service providers, to support programs addressing homelessness and housing instability.

The city also works with nonprofit organizations and community partners to provide services addressing basic needs such as housing stability, food assistance, and supportive services for vulnerable populations. Limited federal, state, and local funding remains a primary obstacle to meeting the full range of community development and housing needs.

The city will continue to convene meetings with local social service providers to discuss community needs and improve coordination among agencies serving San Marcos residents.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The city supports policies and programs intended to preserve and expand affordable housing opportunities. The Inclusionary Housing Ordinance requires residential developers to provide affordable housing units or contribute in-lieu fees to support affordable housing development.

The city also monitors income-restricted affordable housing units developed through regulatory agreements to ensure compliance with affordability requirements and maintain safe housing conditions.

The city’s Housing Element provides long-range policy direction to support housing production, housing preservation, and affordability for residents of varying income levels.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The city is committed to reducing hazards associated with lead-based paint in accordance with the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act and HUD’s Lead Safe Housing Rule (24 CFR Part 35).

Housing activities funded through the CDBG program include procedures to identify and address lead- based paint hazards in homes constructed prior to 1978.

City building inspectors review properties undergoing rehabilitation or construction to ensure compliance with applicable health and safety standards. When lead hazards are identified, appropriate 417

mitigation or abatement measures are implemented in accordance with federal requirements.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The city supports efforts to reduce poverty by promoting access to safe and affordable housing and supporting programs that assist low- and moderate-income households in achieving housing stability.

Affordable housing developments and supportive service programs may provide services such as case management, financial education, and other resources that help households maintain stable housing and improve economic opportunity.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The city participates in regional partnerships and working groups to coordinate housing and community development efforts. These include the Alliance for Regional Solutions, the San Diego Regional Alliance for Fair Housing, the San Diego Regional Continuum of Care Council, and other regional planning and coordination groups.

City staff also participate in regional meetings with other CDBG entitlement jurisdictions and attend HUD training opportunities to remain current with program requirements. These efforts support effective administration of the CDBG program and improve coordination among agencies serving low- and moderate-income residents.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The County of San Diego Housing and Community Development Services Department serves as the public housing agency for the city and plays an important role in addressing regional housing and homelessness issues. The city coordinates with the County and other regional partners through participation in the Continuum of Care and other regional initiatives addressing housing stability and homelessness.

The city also works closely with nonprofit organizations and social service providers that deliver services to low- and moderate-income residents. Staff regularly engage with these organizations to share information, coordinate programs, and identify opportunities to improve service delivery.

Executive Summary
The City of San Marcos proposes a Substantial Amendment to the Program Year (PY) 2023– 2024 and PY 2025–2026 Annual Action Plans to adjust project funding allocations, document a repayment installment to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and update project budgets to reflect finalized construction costs.

The amendment reallocates previously allocated funds among capital improvement projects, removes one planning activity, and documents restoration of $496,937.27 to the City's CDBG line of credit following repayment processing through HUD’s Line of Credit Control System (LOCCS).

All amended activities remain consistent with the priorities identified in the City’s 2020– 2024 and 2025–2029 Consolidated Plans and continue to meet CDBG national objective requirements benefiting low- and moderate-income residents.

Amendment Threshold Determination
Substantial amendments are conducted in accordance with 24 CFR 91.505(c) and the City’s Citizen Participation Plan when changes:
420

• Reallocate more than 10 percent of the annual CDBG entitlement, or • Add or remove previously approved projects.

The changes described in this amendment exceed this threshold and therefore require a Substantial Amendment and 30-day public review period.
