SUBJECT:

ORDINANCE NO. 2026-1583 - AMENDING CHAPTER 5.44 (MASSAGE AND MASSAGE TECHNICIANS) OF

THE SAN MARCOS MUNICIPAL CODE
Recommendation
INTRODUCE (First Reading) Ordinance amending Chapter 5.44 (Massage and Massage Technicians) of the San Marcos Municipal Code
Board or Commission Action
Not Applicable
Executive Summary
The City of San Marcos (City) regulates massage businesses and technicians through Chapter 5.44 of the San Marcos Municipal Code (SMMC). Historically, the City has regulated operations, issued licenses, and managed enforcement, and the County of San Diego (County) has issued health permits. Following the City’s receipt of notification from the County’s Department of Environmental Health and Quality on April 23, 2026 to the effect that environmental inspections are no longer required, the proposed ordinance was prepared to remove County involvement. If adopted by the City Council, all local compliance will be managed by the City, and County environmental health permits will no longer be required as a condition for operating a massage business.

Discussion
In April 2026, County personnel informed the City by email that it will no longer be conducting environmental inspection or issuing permits as a condition for operating a massage business within the County. As background for its determination, the County stated that because the California Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC) provides certification to massage therapists that meet the requirements established in state law for practicing massage therapy, massage facilities no longer require an environmental inspection and that it sought to transition its involvement in massage regulation to local jurisdictions.

The City has long required CAMTC certification for massage therapists doing business in the City, pursuant to SMMC Chapter 5.44. Additionally, many of the items required to be inspected by the County during an environmental inspection for its permitting process are required by the City in SMMC Chapter 5.44, and can be included in the City’s annual massage establishment inspections.

Accordingly, the proposed ordinance removes references to County health permits from Chapter 5.44 of the City of San Marcos Page 1 of 2 Printed on 9/18/2026

File #:TMP-2516
Accordingly, the proposed ordinance removes references to County health permits from Chapter 5.44 of the SMMC. Additionally, the proposed ordinance includes other updates to Chapter. Specifically, the proposed revisions to SMMC Chapter 5.44 are as follows:
· The definition of “Health Department” and all references made within the Chapter have been deleted. · The requirement to obtain a Health Permit is deleted. · Prohibits the issuance of a Massage Establishment License or Business License to any massage location that has had its Massage Establishment License revoked or suspended for a period of 5 years.

This includes a Massage Accessory Use, for which only a business license is required by the City. · Requires that a Massage Establishment License and a City Business License be displayed in public view.
· Provides additional clarification on residential use.

No further changes Chapter 5.44 are proposed at this time; the City will continue its enforcement efforts in collaboration with law enforcement.

Environmental Review
The activity performed under this action is not 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 environmental review pursuant to Guidelines Section 15060(c) (3).

Fiscal Impact
The proposed ordinance is not anticipated to cause a significant fiscal impact. Staff processing and inspection time is not expected to increase to any significant degree as a result of the limited changes suggested by the proposed ordinance, as the City already conducts most of these activities. Additionally, the fees may also be adjusted upward in future by City Council action, or administratively by the City Manager, the extent justified by evaluations of costs for staff processing of such applications.

Hello San Marcos Partners,
DEHQ has been working with individual jurisdictions to assist with the review and updating of their local ordinance related to massage facilities. Since the California Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC) provides certification to massage therapists that meet the requirements established in state law for practicing massage therapy, massage facilities no longer require an environmental inspection. Our goal for this calendar year is to complete the transition of the current massage regulatory program from DEHQ to each local jurisdiction to permit and regulate.

In order to complete this transition, local ordinance language needs to be updated (see below list of permitted sites) to remove the mention of DEHQ or the Health Officer/Official and should also reflect that all practicing massage therapists have the CAMTC certification in order to practice within a specific jurisdiction.

To date, the Unincorporated County, City of San Diego, City of Escondido, City of Chula Vista, and City of Carlsbad have updated their local ordinances to reflect this. To help with this process for your City, I’ve provided relevant sections of your current municipal code below with highlighted portions that need to be updated as part of this transition, as well as a list of any permitted operations within your jurisdiction.

DEHQ is happy to meet with your team directly and answer any questions you have regarding this transition, including timelines to ensure this is heard at your City Council by November 2026, and collaborative communication to the massage therapists in your jurisdiction.

If you are not the best contact for this process, please let me know who the appropriate contact is so I can reach out and set up a meeting to discuss further.

CR-05 - Goals and Outcomes
Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan.

91.520(a)
This could be an overview that includes major initiatives and highlights that were proposed and executed throughout the program year.

This Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) covers the first year of the City of San Marcos’ 2025-2029 Five-Year Consolidated Plan (Con Plan). The CAPER reports on progress made during Program Year (PY) 2025, July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. San Marcos participates in the HOME Investment Partnerships Program through the San Diego County HOME Consortium, which is administered and reported by the County. The City does not receive ESG funds; ESG accomplishments are reported by the County.

In PY 2025, the City expended $1,739,676.84 in CDBG funds, including $700,521.07 (99.6%) of the $703,648 PY 2025 entitlement and $1,039,155.77 in prior-year resources, primarily for capital improvements. Public services totaled $91,454.00 (13.0% of the entitlement) and program administration totaled $139,062.40 (19.8%), within applicable regulatory limits.

Major accomplishments included completion of the Senior Activity Center HVAC improvements and Richmar Park Phase 2. The City also purchased materials for the Tiger Way Neighborhood Lighting Improvements, with installation planned for PY 2026. Six CDBG-funded public service activities assisted seniors, families, domestic violence survivors, and residents experiencing housing instability. Public service activities assisted 431 persons compared with the annual goal of 215. Fair housing services provided by the Legal Aid Society of San Diego assisted 149 San Marcos households, exceeding the annual goal of 60 households.

During PY 2025, the City continued coordinating with HUD to resolve findings from HUD's monitoring of PY 2020 and PY 2021 CDBG activities. The related repayment agreement remained pending at year end.

The City anticipates finalizing the agreement and making the initial repayment during PY 2026, with repaid funds supporting eligible CDBG capital improvement activities.

Table 2 - Accomplishments – Strategic Plan to Date
Assess how the jurisdiction’s use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and specific objectives identified in the plan, giving special attention to the highest priority activities identified.

During PY 2025, the City used CDBG funds to advance the priorities established in the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, with the largest investment directed toward public infrastructure and community 243

facility improvements.

Public Infrastructure and Community Facility Improvements: The City expended approximately $1.5 million on capital improvements during PY 2025. The Senior Activity Center HVAC improvements were completed, improving a facility that provides nutrition, transportation, recreation, and other services to low-income seniors. Richmar Park Phase 2 was also completed, adding a mini-pitch soccer facility, playground shade structures, and accessibility improvements within a low- and moderate-income service area. The City also purchased materials for the Tiger Way Neighborhood Lighting Improvements in a predominantly low- and moderate-income neighborhood, with installation planned for PY 2026.

Public Services: CDBG supported six public service activities addressing senior needs, housing and family stability, homelessness prevention, and services for survivors of domestic violence. These activities included senior nutrition and housing-related assistance, emergency rental and family assistance, and supportive services for domestic violence survivors. Public service activities assisted 431 persons, exceeding the annual goal of 215. Fair housing services provided by the Legal Aid Society of San Diego assisted 149 San Marcos households through education, outreach, referrals, advice, and representation.

Affordable Housing: Although affordable housing is a priority under the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, CDBG resources were not programmed for homeowner rehabilitation during PY 2025 because available resources were committed to existing infrastructure activities. Funding for homeowner housing rehabilitation was included in the subsequent Annual Action Plan, advancing implementation of the Consolidated Plan's affordable housing goal.

Overall, PY 2025 investments advanced the Consolidated Plan through substantial improvements to community facilities and infrastructure and direct services supporting low- and moderate-income residents. These investments established progress toward the City's five-year goals while positioning the City to expand CDBG-funded affordable housing activities in subsequent program years. 244

Table 3 – Table of assistance to racial and ethnic populations by source of funds Narrative
The table above summarizes race and ethnicity data reported for CDBG-funded activities during PY 2025. CDBG activities reported 960 persons with beneficiary information during the program year. Of these, 838 persons were reported within the five racial categories displayed in the CR-10 table. An additional 122 persons were reported in IDIS as Other Multi-Racial and therefore are not reflected in the CR-10 racial total.

A significant portion of reported beneficiaries is associated with the Senior Activity Center, an eligible limited clientele activity serving seniors. Demographic information for the facility activity was based on Senior Nutrition Program data, which provided the most reliable available demographic information for users of the facility during the program year. Senior Nutrition Program records included race information but did not consistently capture Hispanic ethnicity for individual participants. Accordingly, ethnicity data reported in CR-10 should be interpreted in the context of this data limitation. Other CDBG-funded public service activities reported race and ethnicity based on beneficiary information collected by the individual service providers.

Narrative
CDBG resources made available for PY 2025 totaled $2,715,304.32, consisting of the final $703,648 PY 2025 entitlement and $2,011,656.32 in prior-year and anticipated resources identified through the City's Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan process. The PY 2025 Annual Action Plan initially used the prior year's entitlement as an estimated allocation pending HUD's announcement of the final award; available resources were subsequently updated to reflect the final PY 2025 entitlement. During PY 2025, the City expended $1,739,676.84 in CDBG funds, including $700,521.07 of the PY 2025 entitlement and $1,039,155.77 in prior-year resources.

During PY 2025, the City continued coordinating with HUD regarding resolution of prior monitoring findings and a related repayment agreement. The City's Consolidated Plan and April 2026 Substantial Amendment anticipated a $496,937.27 repayment installment, with funds to be restored to the City's CDBG line of credit following processing by HUD and made available for eligible CDBG activities. The repayment agreement remained pending at the close of PY 2025; therefore, the anticipated repayment and restoration were not completed during the reporting period.

The City's Consolidated Plan anticipates repayment installments over multiple program years. The PY 2026 Annual Action Plan subsequently programmed approximately $496,937 in anticipated reinstated funds as part of the City's three-year repayment obligation. The City will continue to coordinate with HUD regarding finalization of the agreement and will report repayment and restored resources in future Annual Action Plans and CAPERs as they occur.

Leveraging
Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the needs identified in the plan.

The City leverages CDBG with local, state, federal, and private resources to address needs identified in the Consolidated Plan. CDBG does not require a local match. The City's affordable housing activities are supported by resources including Successor Housing Agency funds, Inclusionary Housing In-Lieu Fees, Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds, HOME funds administered through the San Diego County HOME Consortium, and private investment.

These resources allow the City to expand affordable housing and community development activities beyond those that can be supported through the City's annual CDBG entitlement alone.

The City also coordinates CDBG-funded activities with investments in publicly owned community facilities and infrastructure, including the Senior Activity Center and Richmar Park, allowing federal funds to improve existing public assets serving low- and moderate-income residents.

Discuss the difference between goals and outcomes and problems encountered in meeting these goals.

During PY 2025, no affordable housing accomplishments were reported in IDIS for the City's CDBG program, as available CDBG resources were primarily directed toward public infrastructure, community facilities, and public services. Affordable Housing nevertheless remained an active Consolidated Plan priority, and the City continued to advance affordable housing preservation, homeownership, and development activities using other available housing resources and partnerships.

During the year, the affordability period for Prominence Apartments was extended an additional three years beyond June 2026, and affordability restrictions for Capalina Apartments were finalized to add six very low- and low-income units. One San Marcos household also utilized the First-Time Homebuyer Program administered through the San Diego County HOME Consortium.

The City also advanced its affordable housing development pipeline. In April 2026, following the prior year's Notice of Availability/Notice of Funding Availability process, the City entered into an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement with Affirmed Housing for development of approximately 260 deed-restricted affordable multifamily units on two City-owned sites. Villa Serena Phase II, a 63-unit development, also advanced during the year, with the building permit finalized and the project waitlist opening in spring 2026.

At the end of PY 2025, the City’s affordable housing portfolio included 3,467 deed-restricted units across 35 affordable housing developments, in addition to the City’s ongoing mobile home preservation and affordability efforts.

Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.

The City will continue to advance affordable housing preservation and production through future Annual Action Plans and available local, State, and federal housing resources. Beginning in PY 2026, CDBG funds have been programmed to relaunch the City's Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program for lowand moderate-income homeowners, advancing the five-year Affordable Housing goal established in the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan.

Include the number of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate-income persons served by each activity where information on income by family size is required to determine the eligibility of the activity.

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c) Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending homelessness through:

Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The City of San Marcos participates in a regional approach to reducing and ending homelessness through coordination with the San Diego Regional Task Force on Homelessness (RTFH), the County of San Diego, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, the Alliance for Regional Solutions (ARS), and local service providers. The City also coordinates across departments and with community partners to connect unsheltered residents with available shelter, housing, health, and supportive services.

The 2026 WeAllCount point-in-time count identified 7 unsheltered individuals in San Marcos, down from 30 in the prior year. The City also had 14 permanent supportive housing beds, with 100% utilization at the time of the count.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City continued to support the Alliance for Regional Solutions Bridge to Housing network, which provides emergency and bridge housing for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in North San Diego County. The City contributed $125,000 in non-CDBG funds to support the regional shelter network during PY 2025.

During the year, 472 distinct clients were served across four North San Diego ARS bridge housing programs. A total of 146 beds provided 47,962 available bed-nights, with individual program utilization ranging from 49% to 97%. The average client stay was 76 nights.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs During PY 2025, the City supported programs that provided housing stabilization and emergency assistance to residents at risk of homelessness. Interfaith Community Services assisted 12 San Marcos households representing 37 residents through rental assistance and supportive services, while Lifeline Community Services provided emergency assistance to 17 San Marcos families experiencing financial hardship.
253
CAPER 15
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Additional CDBG-funded services supported vulnerable residents, including low-income seniors and survivors of domestic violence, with assistance intended to reduce housing instability and connect households with appropriate community resources.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The City continued to support regional systems that help individuals and families move from homelessness or housing instability toward permanent housing. Through coordination with the Continuum of Care, ARS, County agencies, and nonprofit providers, residents may receive shelter, housing navigation, case management, employment assistance, and connections to health and supportive services designed to promote long-term housing stability.

The City also continued to expand and preserve affordable housing opportunities for low-income and special-needs populations, complementing regional homelessness-response efforts and helping reduce barriers to permanent housing.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j)
Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
The City of San Marcos does not operate a public housing authority. The Housing Authority of the County of San Diego (HACSD) serves San Marcos and administers federal rental assistance programs, including the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program.

During PY 2025, HACSD continued to provide rental assistance to low-income San Marcos households.

County data reported 301 leased San Marcos households from January through September 2025, the majority of which were extremely low-income. Demand for housing assistance remains substantial, with 1,477 San Marcos applicants on the County's housing assistance waiting list as of February 2026.

Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
Because the City does not own or manage public housing, it does not directly administer resident management or public housing homeownership initiatives. The County of San Diego administers housing assistance programs on behalf of San Marcos and provides homeownership resources through programs available to eligible low- and moderate-income households. The City continues to coordinate with the County and support affordable housing opportunities through its participation in the San Diego County HOME Consortium and other local and state housing resources.

Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs
The City of San Marcos does not operate a public housing authority. The Housing Authority of the County of San Diego administers housing assistance programs on behalf of San Marcos and is responsible for reporting on its Public Housing Agency performance. The City did not provide assistance to a troubled PHA during PY 2025.
255
CAPER 17
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
CR-35 - Other Actions 91.220(j)-(k); 91.320(i)-(j)
Actions taken 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. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i) The City regulates the type, location, density, and scale of residential development primarily through its General Plan, Housing Element, and Zoning Ordinance. These regulations seek to balance housing opportunities for all income levels with health, safety, infrastructure, and neighborhood considerations.

During PY 2025, the City continued implementation of its State-certified 2021-2029 Housing Element, including programs intended to facilitate housing production, address governmental constraints, and maintain compliance with State housing law.

Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) Limited funding and the high cost of housing and service delivery continue to constrain the City's ability to address all identified needs. The City uses CDBG together with local and State housing resources, including Inclusionary Housing In-Lieu Fees, Successor Housing Agency funds, and Permanent Local Housing Allocation funds, to expand available resources. During PY 2025, the City continued to advance affordable housing preservation and development activities, including extending affordability at an existing development, adding affordability restrictions to additional units, and advancing new deedrestricted affordable housing development. The City also continued regional partnerships and CDBGfunded public services addressing housing instability, senior needs, domestic violence, and other needs of low- and moderate-income residents. These efforts complement an existing affordable housing portfolio of 3,467 deed-restricted units across 35 developments.

Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) San Marcos residents may access lead-based paint education and remediation resources through the County of San Diego. The City also makes lead-safety information available as needed. For federally assisted housing activities involving pre-1978 properties, applicable lead-based paint requirements are incorporated into inspection, disclosure, hazard-reduction, and clearance procedures in accordance with 24 CFR Part 35.

Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City works with community partners to address factors contributing to poverty and housing instability, including food insecurity, housing costs, family emergencies, domestic violence, and access to supportive services. During PY 2025, CDBG-funded programs provided nutrition, emergency assistance, homelessness-prevention, senior, and domestic violence services to low- and moderate-income San 256
CAPER 18
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Marcos residents. The City's affordable housing programs and regional partnerships provide additional support intended to preserve housing stability and reduce household cost burdens.

Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City continued participation in regional organizations that support implementation of the Consolidated Plan, including the San Diego Regional Task Force on Homelessness/Continuum of Care, San Diego County HOME Consortium, Alliance for Regional Solutions, regional CDBG Coordinators group, and San Diego Regional Alliance for Fair Housing. These partnerships provide coordination on homelessness, affordable housing, CDBG administration, fair housing, and regional funding and policy issues.

Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The City coordinates with the Housing Authority of the County of San Diego, affordable housing developers, nonprofit service providers, and regional housing and homelessness organizations to connect residents with housing and supportive-service resources. The County administers the Housing Choice Voucher Program and HOME Consortium on behalf of participating jurisdictions, including homeownership assistance available to eligible San Marcos households.

CR-40 - Monitoring 91.220 and 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements
The Housing & Neighborhood Services Division (HANS) administers the City's CDBG program and monitors funded activities to ensure compliance with applicable federal requirements and progress toward Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan goals.

Each funded activity is governed by a written agreement establishing the scope of work, budget, performance schedule, reporting requirements, and applicable federal requirements. Public service subrecipients submit periodic performance and reimbursement documentation, which staff review for eligibility, financial accuracy, accomplishment reporting, and progress toward established goals. Staff conducts ongoing desk monitoring and onsite or virtual monitoring of subrecipients, with technical assistance and follow-up provided as needed.

Capital improvement activities are monitored for applicable environmental review, procurement, labor standards, Section 3, minority and women-owned business outreach, and other federal requirements.

HANS also reviews expenditures, accomplishments, and progress toward Consolidated Plan goals throughout the year to support timely use of funds and accurate reporting in IDIS.

Citizen Participation Plan 91.105(d); 91.115(d)
Describe the efforts to provide citizens with reasonable notice and an opportunity to comment on performance reports.

The City's Citizen Participation Plan establishes requirements for providing residents and interested parties reasonable notice and an opportunity to comment on the CAPER. In accordance with the Plan, the draft PY 2025 CAPER was made available on the City's website and in the City Clerk's Office, and notice of its availability was distributed to community stakeholders.

The public comment period was open from September 4 through September 22, 2026. Comments received during the public review period or at the September 22, 2026 public hearing will be incorporated into the final CAPER prior to submission to HUD. 258

CR-45 - CDBG 91.520(c)
Specify the nature of, and reasons for, any changes in the jurisdiction’s program objectives and indications of how the jurisdiction would change its programs as a result of its experiences.

During PY 2025, the first year of the City's 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, the City continued to implement its established CDBG priorities of public infrastructure and community facility improvements, affordable housing, public services, and program administration. No significant changes were made to the City's overall CDBG program objectives during the year.

During PY 2025, the City modified certain planned activities and funding allocations through a substantial amendment to respond to updated project needs and implementation conditions. Funding was redirected among eligible public facility and infrastructure activities, including additional resources for Richmar Park Phase 2 and the Senior Activity Center HVAC improvements. These changes did not alter the City's Consolidated Plan objectives.

Based on program experience and identified community needs, the City will continue to evaluate project readiness, expenditure timing, available resources, and progress toward Consolidated Plan goals when developing future Annual Action Plans. Beginning in PY 2026, the City has also programmed CDBG funding to relaunch its Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program, advancing the Affordable Housing priority established in the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan.

Does this Jurisdiction have any open Brownfields Economic Development Initiative (BEDI) grants?

2020 The ADA improvement project constructed during PY2020/2021 included the completion of a mid-block pedestrian crossing which is located along a path to a local school. This project included construction of flashing signals, median, and two ramps. The project benefitted a total of 1,625 residents which included 1,370 LMI individuals and 516 disabled individuals.

The City also awarded a city-wide ADA signal project under this activity to install audible pedestrian signals. The signal project was delayed due to material shortages caused by Covid-19 impacts, but is scheduled to be completed by December 2022. 268

Richmar Park Ph 2 improvements have been delayed due to additional public outreach and staff contributions to determine ideal amenities for the park. Modifications were determined from the original design of a half basketball court to a mini-pitch amenity, or hard-court surface intended for soccer use. Additionally, rather than shade trellis over approved benches and picnic tables, shade sails are being installed over the playground equipment. Modifications are deemed by Planning Division to be in substantial conformance with the previously approved Richmar Park Site Development Plan (SDP 15-012 Resolution 2016-8156) as well as environmental review requirements.

Design for Richmar Park Ph 2 improvements was completed in PY 2024-25 and construction on the mini-pitch improvement began in June 2025. Mini-pitch amenity should be complete by the end of Q2 2024-25 with anticipated completion of the shade sails amenity in 2024-25.

City staff educated contractors of section 3 requirements and localized outreach was conducted at construction start. Additionally, jobs were posted with the San Diego Housing Federation platform, job announcements were posted on Indeed, and opportunities were promoted at the construction site.

The City of San Marcos completed improvements at Richmar Park during PY 2025, including a new mini-pitch soccer facility, playground shade sails, and ADA accessibility improvements. The project improved the quality and accessibility of the existing neighborhood park and expanded recreational amenities available to residents within the CDBG-qualified service area. 272

Completed planning, design, and pre-construction activities necessary to advance the Senior Activity Center HVAC rehabilitation project to construction.

The city completed HVAC improvements at the Senior Activity Center, an existing public facility serving seniors. In PY 2025, the center served 529 unduplicated seniors through its nutrition program, representing the best available documented measure of unduplicated persons benefiting from the facility improvement. The center also served 267 unduplicated seniors through its transportation program and recorded 21,133 instances of participation in classes, activities, events, and groups during the year. These additional measures are not included in the reported beneficiary total because participants may overlap across programs and activity participation is not tracked on an unduplicated basis. The center does not maintain a comprehensive membership or visitor tracking system that provides a facility-wide unduplicated count. 276

2025 During the grant period of July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, the program served 12,004 nutritious meals to 529 unduplicated low-income seniors, including 320 San Marcos residents and 209 non-residents. While the meal service goal of 12,500 meals was not fully achieved, the program significantly exceeded the goal of serving 200 unduplicated seniors. The slight shortfall in meals served can be attributed to the major heating and air-conditioning project that caused the building to be closed for over three months. Despite serving fewer meals than projected, the program reached a substantially larger number of older adults, expanding access to nutritious meals and ensuring services were available to a broader segment of the senior population.
