REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Authorize the City Manager to execute the 2026-2029 Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of Santa Clara and the Unclassified Fire Management (Unit 9B), Approve a Corresponding Update to the Unclassified Salary Plan and Approve the Related Budget Amendments

BACKGROUND
The Unclassified Fire Management (Unit 9B) Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) expired on or about December 31, 2025. The City and Unit 9B began negotiations on a successor MOU in March 2026 and met approximately eleven (11) times. On or about July 2, 2026, the City and Unit 9B reached a Tentative Agreement on terms for a successor MOU. Unit 9B ratified the Tentative Agreement on July 8, 2026.

Updated Salary Plan
Section 9 of the Personnel and Salary Resolution requires City Council approval of compensation plans for both classified and unclassified positions. California Code Regulations Section 570.5 requires the adoption of updated publicly available salary schedules by the governing body. The attached Resolution approves the updated unclassified salary plan for all classifications represented by Unit 9B consistent with the terms of the subject MOU.

SB 707
Effective July 1, 2026, Senate Bill (SB) 707 amended sections of the Brown Act requiring that, prior to taking final action, the legislative body shall orally report a summary of the recommendation for a final action on the salaries, salary schedules or compensation paid in the form of fringe benefits when involving a local agency executive or department head of the local agency, as defined by the law. The Fire Chief (Job Code 117) is the head of the Santa Clara Fire Department, and is a classification represented by the Unclassified Fire Management (Unit 9B). While the Tentative Agreement between the City and Unit 9B does not include a salary range increase for the classification of Fire Chief in the first year of the Tentative Agreement, it does involve a one-time non-pensionable discretionary cash payment to the Fire Chief as well as salary range increases in subsequent years of the successor MOU.

DISCUSSION
The recommended action authorizes the City Manager to execute a successor Memorandum of Understanding with a term of January 1, 2026, through and including December 31, 2029, that incorporates the terms of the Tentative Agreement on a successor MOU.

The following is a summary of the notable provisions of the Tentative Agreement.

Term:

City of Santa Clara Printed on 7/10/2026Page 1 of 5
powered by Legistar™
26-774 Agenda Date: 7/14/2026
January 1, 2026 - December 31, 2029
Wages:

Effective the first pay period after Council adoption, all salary ranges for employees holding positions in classifications assigned to Unit 9B, except the Fire Chief (Job Code 117), shall be increased by approximately 4.0%.

Effective the first pay period after January 1, 2027, all salary ranges for employees holding positions in classifications assigned to Unit 9B shall be increased by approximately 4.0%.

Effective the first pay period after January 1, 2028, all salary ranges for employees holding positions in classifications assigned to Unit 9B shall be increased by approximately 3.5%.

Effective the first pay period after January 1, 2029, all salary ranges for employees holding positions in classifications assigned to Unit 9B shall be increased by approximately 3.0%.

One-Time Non-Pensionable Discretionary Cash Payment:

In lieu of retroactivity, and to help secure the employees' speedy ratification of this MOU, the City has exercised its discretion to provide a one-time discretionary cash payment of $6,000 for regular employees (pro-rated for part-time employees) in the bargaining unit following Council approval of this MOU. The Parties intend and understand that this lump sum payment is non-pensionable and will not be reported to CalPERS. An employee must be employed in a classification assigned to Unit 9B at the time the one-time discretionary cash payment is made to receive the payment.

In lieu of a salary adjustment for the Fire Chief (Job Code 117) in 2026, a one-time discretionary cash payment of $4,000 will be paid to the Fire Chief. The Fire Chief base salary range will remain at $417,463.92 annually.

Deferred Compensation:

Effective the first month following adoption of the MOU, the City will increase its contribution to $330/month (from $230/month) to the employee’s deferred compensation. Once the 401(a) is established, the City’s prospective contributions after the 401(a) is established will go to the 401(a).

Workers’ Compensation Fast Track Program Side Letter:

Extend via Side Letter Agreement the Workers’ Compensation Fast Track Program available to other public safety bargaining units including the Santa Clara Firefighters, International Assoc. of Firefighters, Local 1171 (Unit 1), Police Officers Association (Unit 2), and Unclassified Police Management (Unit 9A) to employees represented by Unit 9B.

Updated Salary Plan:

The City of Santa Clara contracts with the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) to provide retirement benefits for employees in both classified and unclassified positions.

When the City makes modifications to the salary schedules for its classified or unclassified positions, the City Council must approve and adopt the publicly available salary schedules to comply with California Code of Regulations (CCR) section 570.5. The Unclassified Salary Plan has been modified to reflect the 4.0% salary range increase for classifications assigned to Unit 9B, except the Fire Chief (Job Code 117).

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Public Hearing: Rezoning To Remove The Historic Combining District From 1341 Homestead Road (906 Monroe Street To Remain In Historic Combining District) In Connection With A Tentative Parcel Map Application To Subdivide The Property Into Two Parcels, Each Containing One Of The Existing Residences. CEQA Status: Determination of Consistency with the Downtown Precise Plan Final EIR.

Continued from the June 23, 2026, City Council Meeting.

SUMMARY
At staff’s request the proposed project was continued from June 23, 2026, City Council Hearing. At the hearing, Council opened the public hearing and continued the item to the July 14, 2026, City Council Meeting.

This application is to rezone and subdivide the property at 906 Monroe Street and 1341 Homestead Road to allow the two existing residences to be sold separately, with no new construction or site improvements proposed. The residence at 906 Monroe Street will remain on the Historical Resource Inventory (HRI) and will be subject to its existing Mills Act Contract. Currently, the applicant does not propose any site improvements or construction. Approval of this application will enable the applicant to sell the two residences separately.

At its regularly scheduled meeting on June 10, 2026, the Planning Commission recommended approval (7-0 vote) of the rezoning to the City Council. The Planning Commission does not make recommendations on subdivisions that result in less than five parcels.

Both the rezoning and the Tentative Parcel Map are subject to final action by the City Council.

BACKGROUND
On June 11, 2025, the Applicant, Paul Tai, representing 950 Monroe St. REO, LLC, submitted an application to rezone (File No. PLN25-00516) and subdivide (File No. PLN25-00304) the subject property, which is currently developed with two existing single-family residences as 906 Monroe Street and 1341 Homestead Road. The residence at 906 Monroe Street will remain on the City’s Historical Resource Inventory and will continue to be subject to an existing Mills Act Contract.

Currently, the applicant does not propose any site improvements or construction. Approval of this application will enable the applicant to sell the two residences separately.

The project was deemed complete at the Project Clearance Committee (PCC) on February 24, 2026.

The project was heard at a regularly scheduled Historical and Landmarks Commission (HLC) meeting on April 7, 2026. The HLC found that the proposed rezoning request to remove the Historic Combining District from 1341 Homestead Road (906 Monroe Street to remain in Historic Combining District) would not destroy or have a significant adverse effect on the integrity of the HRI property.

City of Santa Clara Printed on 7/10/2026Page 1 of 5

26-720 Agenda Date: 7/14/2026
The HLC voted unanimously to recommend approval to the Planning Commission and the City Council.

Review by the Planning Commission and a recommendation to the City Council are required for Rezoning applications in accordance with Santa Clara City Code (SCCC) Section 18.142.010.C.3.

However, the Planning Commission does not make recommendations on subdivisions that result in less than five parcels. Both the rezoning and Tentative Parcel Map are subject to final action by the City Council pursuant to SCCC Chapters 17.05 (Subdivisions) and 18.142 (Amendments).Following City Council approval of a Tentative Parcel Map, the applicant would be required to submit a final parcel map to by the City’s Engineering Division for ministerial review to confirm compliance with the approved Tentative Map.

On June 10, 2026, the Planning Commission reviewed the rezoning request. The Planning Commission’s review and recommendation to the City Council is required under Code Section

18.142.010 B. Zoning Code Amendments and Section 18.142.030 B. Public Hearings Required.

Rezonings are ultimately approved by the City Council. The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the rezoning to the City Council (7-0 vote). The Planning Commission staff report is available as Attachment 5.

DISCUSSION
Project Summary
The existing site is located within the boundaries of the Downtown Precise Plan and consists of one parcel zoned Downtown (DT) and Historic Combining (HT). The parcel contains two single-family residences addressed as 906 Monroe Street and 1341 Homestead Road. The residence at 906 Monroe Street is listed on the City’s Historic Resource Inventory; the residence at 1341 Homestead Road does not qualify to be listed on the City’s HRI.

The applicant proposes to subdivide the parcel, resulting in each residence sited on their own separate parcel. The residence at 906 Monroe Street will remain unchanged, while the residence at 1341 Homestead Road will be rezoned to remove the Historic Combining designation and will continue to be zoned as Downtown.

As a note, in 2020, the subject parcel at 906 Monroe Street was one of three parcels that were a part of a proposed mixed use multi-family development. However, in 2024 that proposed application was withdrawn. The current project is only for the rezoning and subdivision of the site to allow for each single-family residential unit to be located on its own property.

Consistency with General Plan, Zoning Code and Subdivision Map Act Tentative Parcel Map applications are reviewed for General Plan consistency, conformance with the Zoning Code and Chapter 17.05 of the City Code (Subdivisions), and conformance with the Subdivision Map Act. Rezonings are reviewed for General Plan consistency and conformance with the Zoning Code. The rezoning process to amend the City’s zoning map is detailed in Chapter 18.142 of the City Code.

The Subdivision Map Act requires that all maps be consistent with the General Plan, Government Code § 66474(a). On February 24, 2026, the City’s Subdivision Clearance Committee reviewed the Tentative Parcel Map and determined it to be complete. The project is consistent with the General Plan, as it does not propose a change in use and does not include any site improvements.

26-720 Agenda Date: 7/14/2026
Mills Act Contract Update for 906 Monroe Street
The project at 906 Monroe Street has been the subject of a Mills Act contract cancellation at City Council. The contract is between the City and the property owner and is in place to preserve the historical integrity of the HRI property and in return, the property owner receives property tax reductions. On January 27, 2026, staff brought the request to the City Council and then subsequently removed the item from a scheduled hearing, as the property owner, 950 Monroe St. REO, LLC, stated they will work with staff on implementation of the required improvements to maintain their Mills Act contract.

Proposed City Council Action
The project is now presented for City Council consideration and action. The following specific actions are required:
1) CEQA Determination
Determine the project to be consistent with the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) that the City Council adopted for the Downtown Precise Plan on December 5, 2023, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). 2) Tentative Parcel Map Approval
A Tentative Parcel Map is proposed to subdivide the singular lot into two separate lots. The required findings, and facts supporting them, are as follows:
· General Plan Consistency: The subdivision would be consistent with the General Plan land use designation of Downtown and does not propose any new development. The subdivision would respect the scale and character of the adjacent historic Old Quad Neighborhood per Policy 5.4.2-P7 and both structures on the parcel currently meet Policy 5.4.2-P12. · Zoning Code Compatibility: The subdivision meets the applicable development standards of the Zoning Code and all aspects of the City’s Downtown Form-Based Code. · Site Suitability: The site is physically suitable for subdivision, in that no development is proposed and the subdivision will meet all regulations listed in for the Downtown Zoning District and General Plan designation.
· No Adverse Effects: The subdivision does not propose any development and therefore will not cause substantial environmental damage nor result in adverse health effects. Any future development shall comply with Building Code requirements and applicable provisions of the City’s Reach Code.
· Conflicts With Easements: As designed, the project would not conflict with any recorded public easements for access through or use of the proposed subdivision. · Natural/Passive Heating and Cooling: The project does not propose any development, although all future development shall adhere to CALGreen energy efficiency measures to conserve energy through building design and site planning.

26-720 Agenda Date: 7/14/2026
3) Rezoning
Determine that the zoning map amendment is in conformance with the General Plan Designation of the parcel and Adopt a Resolution to approve a Rezoning to remove the Historic Combining District from 1341 Homestead Road (906 Monroe Street to remain in the Historic Combining District).

Recommendation
Staff and the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve the Project by approving all the above-described actions because the Project would be compatible with adjacent land uses, and the project is consistent with the General Plan and applicable zoning standards.

Findings can be made to support the approval of the Tentative Parcel Map and the Zoning Map Amendment. Conditions of approval are proposed for the Project and are contained in Attachment 3.

As an alternative, the Council has the option to deny the project, or to refer the matter back to staff for modifications.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Rezoning action being considered is consistent with the previously adopted Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) that was approved for the Downtown Precise Plan on December 5, 2023, at a City Council meeting in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and no additional environmental review is required.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City for processing the requested application other than administrative time and expense typically covered by processing fees paid by the applicant.

COORDINATION
This report was coordinated with the City Attorney’s Office.

PUBLIC CONTACT
Hearing Noticing
Public contact was made by posting the City Council agenda on the City’s official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall Council Chambers.

REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION

SUBJECT
Public Hearing: Recommendation On A Rezoning To Remove The Historic Combining District From 1341 Homestead Road (906 Monroe Street To Remain In Historic Combining District) In Connection With A Tentative Parcel Map Application To Subdivide The Property Into Two Parcels, Each Containing One Of The Existing Residences. CEQA Status: Determination of Consistency with the Downtown Precise Plan Final EIR

REPORT IN BRIEF
Applicant: Paul Tai
Owner: 950 Monroe St. REO, LLC
General Plan: Downtown Core - DT
Zoning: Downtown - DT
Site Area: 0.18 acres
Existing Site Conditions: Two single-family homes, the home addressed as 906 Monroe is on the Historic Resource Inventory, and the home addressed as 1341 Homestead is not on the Historic Resource Inventory.

Surrounding Land Uses:
· North: Single family residence, DT
· East: Franklin Square, commercial use, DT
· South: Single family residence, R3
· West: Single family residence, DT

BACKGROUND
On June 11, 2025, the Applicant, Paul Tai, representing 950 Monroe St. REO, LLC, submitted an application to rezone (File No. PLN25-00516) and subdivide (File No. PLN25-00304) the residences and underlying property addressed as 906 Monroe Street and 1341 Homestead Road. The residence addressed as 906 Monroe Street will remain on the Historical Resource Inventory (HRI) and will continue to be subject to an existing Mills Act Contract. At this time, the applicant does not propose any site improvements or construction. Approval of this application will enable the applicant to sell the two residences separately.

The project was deemed complete at the Project Clearance Committee (PCC) on February 24, 2026.

The project was heard at a regularly scheduled Historical and Landmarks Commission (HLC) meeting on April 7, 2026. The HLC found that the proposed rezoning request to remove the Historic Combining District from 1341 Homestead Road (906 Monroe Street to Remain in Historic Combining District) would not destroy or have a significant adverse effect on the integrity of the HRI property.

The HLC voted unanimously to recommend approval to the Planning Commission and the City City of Santa Clara Printed on 6/5/2026Page 1 of 4

26-457 Agenda Date: 6/10/2026
Council.

Review by the Planning Commission and a recommendation to the City Council are required for Rezoning applications in accordance with SCCC Section 18.142.010.C.3. Both rezonings and Tentative Parcel Maps are subject to final action by the City Council pursuant to SCCC Chapters

17.05 (Subdivisions) and 18.142 (Amendments), although the Planning Commission does not make recommendations on subdivisions that result in less than 5 parcels. Following City Council approval of a Tentative Parcel Map, the applicant would be required to submit a final parcel map to by the City’s Engineering Division for ministerial review to confirm compliance with the approved Tentative Map.

DISCUSSION
Project Summary
The existing site is located within the boundaries of the Downtown Precise Plan and consists of one parcel zoned Downtown (DT) and Historic Combining (HT). The parcel contains two single-family residences addressed as 906 Monroe Street and 1341 Homestead Road. The residence at 906 Monroe Street is listed on the City’s Historic Resource Inventory; the residence at 1341 Homestead Road does not qualify to be listed on the City’s HRI.

The applicant proposes to subdivide the parcel, resulting in each residence sited on their own separate parcel. The residence at 906 Monroe Street will remain unchanged, while the residence at 1341 Homestead Road will be rezoned to remove the Historic Combining designation and will continue to be zoned as Downtown.

As a note, in 2020, the subject parcel at 906 Monroe Street was one of three parcels that were a part of a proposed mixed use multi-family development. However, in 2024 that proposed application was withdrawn. The current project is only for the rezoning and subdivision of the site to allow for each single-family residential unit to be located on its own property.

Consistency with General Plan, Zoning Code and Subdivision Map Act Tentative Parcel Map applications are reviewed for General Plan consistency, conformance with the Zoning Code and Chapter 17.05 of the City Code (Subdivisions), and conformance with the Subdivision Map Act. Rezonings are reviewed for General Plan consistency and conformance with the Zoning Code. The rezoning process to amend the City’s zoning map is detailed in Chapter 18.142 of the City Code.

The Subdivision Map Act requires that all maps be consistent with the General Plan, Government Code § 66474(a). On February 24, 2026, the City’s Subdivision Clearance Committee reviewed the Tentative Parcel Map and determined it to be complete. The project is consistent with the General Plan, as it does not propose a change in use and does not include any site improvements.

Mills Act Update for 906 Monroe Street
The project at 906 Monroe Street has been the subject of Mills Act cancellation at City Council. On January 27, 2026, staff brought the request to the City Council and then subsequently removed the item from a scheduled hearing, as the property owner, 950 Monroe St. REO, LLC, stated they will work with staff on implementation of the required improvements.

26-457 Agenda Date: 6/10/2026
Proposed Planning Commission Actions
The project is presented to the Planning Commission for consideration and action. The following specific actions are required:

1. Recommend that the City Council determine that the project is consistent with the previously adopted Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) that was approved for the Downtown Precise Plan on December 5, 2023. This is an administrative action, which is neither legislative nor quasi-judicial decision. The Council will need to find that the project falls within the scope of the Downtown Precise Plan EIR, and will not result in any new or more severe environmental impacts.

2. Recommend that the City Council approve the Rezone for 1341 Homestead Road from DT/HT to DT. This is a legislative action that does not require any specific findings, but all rezonings must be consistent with the General Plan. The proposed rezoning is illustrated in Attachment

2. The City Council will also consider whether to approve the Tentative Parcel Map.

Attachment 4 includes the Tentative Parcel Map illustrating the proposed subdivision.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Rezoning action being considered is consistent with the previously adopted Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) that was approved for the Downtown Precise Plan on December 5, 2023, at a City Council meeting in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and no additional environmental review is required.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City for processing the requested application other than administrative time and expense typically covered by processing fees paid by the applicant.

COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the City Attorney’s Office.

PUBLIC CONTACT
Public contact was made by posting the Planning Commission agenda on the City’s official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall Council Chambers.

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Public Hearing: Adoption of the Third Zoning Code Cleanup Ordinance and Rezoning of Properties Currently Designated TN (Transit Neighborhood) to R6 (Transit Neighborhood Residential)

BACKGROUND
The Zoning Code is the primary regulatory tool that implements the General Plan. As an on-going update, staff periodically brings clean-up ordinances to address clerical inconsistencies within the document or areas needing further clarification based on implementation of the new zoning code and to be consistent with recent changes in State Law. This allows the zoning code to stay current. Staff tracks the necessary updates over time and then periodically brings them forward as one clean up document. This report and resolution represent the third minor code clean-up ordinance.

Planning Commission Recommendation
The City of Santa Clara Planning Commission (Commission) heard the item at their June 10, 2026 meeting and discussed noticing for public hearings, which is typically done through required mailings, posting of the agenda online, Council Chamber, Library and Clerks Office. The online noticing requirement from the Zoning Code is duplicative as the notice is already on the event calendar. The Planning Commission recommended an alternative such as posting City Council agendas online, which are relevant and accessible and also fulfill the same function as online noticing of individual projects. This is the typical noticing, however for more complex or controversial projects, the City continues to do additional outreach per the adopted Outreach Policy.

The Planning Commission also discussed the definition of “Smoke Shop” and recommended revising it to better capture the range of items sold in such businesses. Specifically, the Commission recommended replacing “and” with “or” in the list describing smoking materials and paraphernalia used to determine whether a business is “primarily engaged in” those sales. The Planning Commission’s revised wording is included in the adoption resolution.

The Planning Commission then voted to recommend that the City Council adopt the Cleanup Ordinance.

The Commission also recommended adoption of the map resolution to apply the R6 Transit Neighborhood designation to parcels currently designated TN (Transit Neighborhood), which was the zoning designation under the previous Zoning Code.

DISCUSSION
The City is bringing forward its third “clean-up” ordinance for the Zoning Code Update, primarily to address consistency concerns. As such, the proposed revisions are not considered substantial modifications. The ordinance clean-up includes the following policy changes and consistency City of Santa Clara Printed on 7/10/2026Page 1 of 4
powered by Legistar™
26-735 Agenda Date: 7/14/2026
updates:

Policy changes:
- Incorporating the provisions of the (HT) Historic Combining Districts into the Updated Zoning Code;
- Deleting the requirement for web posting of public hearing notices, which has not been the City’s practice and is not a part of the Public Outreach Policy; - Removing the public hearing requirement for architectural review of multi-family development projects as the City has adopted Objective Design Standards and will streamline projects; - Allowing additional height for institutional uses and differentiating them from assembly uses in the (PQP) public/quasi-public district;
- Adding definitions to clarify fence height requirements; - Revising public bike parking standards to require bike parking in commercial districts to be closer to the front door than the closest non-handicapped space; - Requiring uncovered parking on residential parcels to be perpendicular to the street; - Requiring automobile service bays to not be visible from the street; and - Modifying use tables to reflect the range of uses existing in commercial and industrial districts, including the differentiation of specialized instruction (e.g., painting and pottery classes) from vocational schools, this allows for more flexibility.
- Making minor edits to the noticing procedures for administrative citations, primarily to allow for priority mail delivery with tracking as an alternative to certified mail.

Errata:
- Rezoning the Tasman East district from TN (this was a holdover district from the previous Zoning Code) to R6, which is now part of the current code; - Updating the definition of Major Transit Stop to be consistent with recent changes to state law; - Adding a definition for the term “Dwelling Unit”;
- Revising the definition of the term “Demolition” to square with the term presented in the Administration Chapter
- Updating the Visibility Clearance Diagram following feedback from the Department of Public Works
- Updating zoning districts in the City’s Noise Ordinance; this updates the zoning districts to be consistent with the new code
- Refining the definition of Smoke Shops;
- Making the General Plan and Zoning Code definitions of Floor Area Ratio consistent with each other;
- Allowing for fully unbundled parking for apartments greater than 15 units per State law; - Allowing for unbundled parking for parking spaces for commercial uses - Revising minimum lot sizes in the R2 two-family zone; - Making the R5 district maximum density consistent throughout the document; - Updating any citations to the California Government Code; - Correcting cross-references and spelling and punctuation mistakes; - Updating figures and making terms internally consistent in Title 18 (“Zoning”), and - Updating the zoning map to reflect the applicable changes.

The adopting resolution is included as Attachment 1, and all tables that have are proposed to be changed are included as Attachment 2. The proposed R6 Zoning Code Amendment resolution is included as Attachment 3, with code changes presented in strikethrough and underline or highlighted City of Santa Clara Printed on 7/10/2026Page 2 of 4

26-735 Agenda Date: 7/14/2026
as part of a table.

The adoption of the cleanup ordinance is a legislative act, not requiring any specific findings.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Given that the Zoning Code Update is an implementation action for the 2010 General Plan Update, the City prepared an Addendum to the 2010-2035 General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to cover adoption of the Zoning Code, Zoning Map, and related General Plan Amendments. The Addendum indicated that the adoption of the Zoning Code Update would not result in environmental impacts beyond those described in the General Plan Update EIR. At the conclusion of the public hearing on November 15, 2023, the Planning Commission voted to recommend that the City Council approve the Addendum, and on December 19, 2023, the City Council adopted the Addendum. The recommended actions all fall within the scope of the adopted Addendum.

FISCAL IMPACT
Adoption of the Third Zoning Code Cleanup Ordinance and associated Zoning Map Amendments for the R6 District would fully implement the City’s General Plan land use diagram. These actions would involve no additional resources beyond those indicated at the time of Zoning Code adoption.

COORDINATION
This item was coordinated with the City Attorney’s Office.

PUBLIC OUTREACH
Due to the nature of this minor code clean up, only newspaper noticing and posting requirements are required to be conducted.

PUBLIC CONTACT
A newspaper notice for the May 19, 2026, public hearing was published in the March 18, 2026 issue of the Santa Clara Weekly, describing the proposed adoption of the Third Zoning Code Cleanup Ordinance and the proposed changes to the Zoning Map. On May 19, 2026, the City Council opened the public hearing and voted to continue the item to the June 14, 2026 meeting.

Public contact was also made by posting the agenda on the City’s official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall Council Chambers. A complete agenda packet is available on the City’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office at least 72 hours prior to a Regular Meeting and 24 hours prior to a Special Meeting. A hard copy of any agenda report may be requested by contacting the City Clerk’s Office at (408) 615-2220, email [email protected] or at the public information desk at any City of Santa Clara public library.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council adopt the Planning Commission-recommended updates to the Zoning Code to be consistent with the General Plan and State Law

1. Recommend that the City Council adopt the Zoning Code clean-up ordinance; and

2. Recommend that the City Council apply the R6 Transit Neighborhood District to the properties currently zoned TN on the Zoning Map, consistent with the General Plan.

and considered the potential environmental impacts and determined that as the primary implementation tool of the General Plan, the environmental effects of the proposed Zoning Code Update and associated Zoning Map were consistent with 2010 -2035 General Plan EIR, as addended, and that the proposed Zoning Map did not alter the conclusions of the adopted General Plan EIR, as addended, or create new environmental impacts; and WHEREAS, on April 8, 2026, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the Zoning Map, which was subsequently continued to May 20, 2026 and again to June 10, 2026. A t the conclusion of the hearing on June 10 , the Commission recommended approval of the proposed Zoning Map Amendment resolution; and WHEREAS, on June 14, 2026, the City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the proposed Zoning Map, at which time all interested persons were given an opportunity to give testimony and provide evidence in support of and in opposition to the proposed Zoning Map.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF SANTA CLARA AS FOLLOWS:

1. That the City Council hereby finds that the above Recitals are true and correct and by this reference makes them a part hereof.

2. That the City Council hereby amends the City’s Zoning Map to be consistent with the City’s adopted General Plan land use diagram, by applying the R6 zoning designation in the current version of the Zoning Code to parcels with the Transit Neighborhood General Plan land use designation.
