Fol
lowing the adoption of a General Plan, a city’s planning agency is required by California Government Code Section 65400 to investigate and make recommendations to the legislative body regarding reasonable and practical means for implementing the General Plan or element of the General Plan, so that it will serve as an effective guide for orderly growth and development, preservation and conservation of open-space land and natural resources, and the efficient expenditure of public funds relating to the subj ects addressed in the General Plan. State law further requires that all cities submit an annual progress report to LCI describing the community’s progress toward implementing its General Plan, inclusive of an annual report on the progress of the Housing El ement, for submission directly to the HCD. By April 1 of each year, all cities shall provide the annual progress report to the legislative body for review and approval prior to submission to LCI and HCD.
On F
ebruary 18, 2026, the Planning Commission reviewed the City’s General Plan Annual Progress Report for Calendar Year 2025, as summarized below, and unanimously recommended that the City Council approve the report for submission to LCI and HCD.
The i
tem was presented to the City Council on March 9, 2026, and the City Council requested that the matter be continued to allow for additional review. After feedback was received, staff adjusted the description of the 2025 Envision Simi Valley activities.

Discussion
The City prepared its Annual Progress Report to demonstrate its ongoing progress toward implementing its General Plan and Housing Element. During the reporting year, 126 new residential units were constructed, including 13 single- family detached units, 103 accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and 10 multi -family housing units (apartments). Of the 126 residential units constructed in 2025, one unit was deed- restricted as affordable housing. This reflects housing production during the reporting year and does not limit the City’s ongoing efforts to support housing development at all income levels pursuant to its Housing Element.
Additionally, Senate Bill 2 (SB 2) and Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) grant funded the City Council- adopted Envision Simi Valley Specific Plan, which went into effect in January 2025. The Specific Plan introduces objective design standards and form -based design concepts in the mixed- use opportunity areas along Los Angeles Avenue and the Tapo Street corridors, which could require modification through conceptual modeling.
Furthermore, to demonstrate how the Envision Simi Valley Specific Plan’s development standards and design principles (including infrastructure requirements) can be conceptually applied, the City executed a memorandum of understanding with the Ventura Council of Governments – VCOG in May 2025 to implement a Regional Early Action Planning – REAP 2.0 program administered by the Metropolitan Planning Organization of the Southern California Association of Governments. As part of the 2021 California Comeback Plan under Assembly Bill 140 to confront the statewide housing affordability crisis, the City received a $60,000 grant through the regional partnership program to test the Specific Plan and generate various conceptual models. The models will accomplish the following: 1) identify inconsistencies and deficiencies within the Specific Plan that will require plan modification; and 2) finalized models could be made available as a reference. Studies are currently underway, and a presentation to the City Council is tentatively scheduled for summer 2026.
Subsequent to the Planning Commission’s review of the Progress Report , staff has included minor cleanups to the report and implementation measures status, including:
adding language for the well-attended Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) Panel Event on April 8, 2025 at the Simi Valley Public Library, providing outreach via in- person presentation, Q&A, and an information packet to residents who are interested in exploring and creating an alternative form of lower-cost housing through ADUs; revised the Envision Simi Valley Specific Plan section to provide technical clarity; removal of dated language from prior years’ reports; removal of tentative release date of a pilot transit program; and removal of redundant language for police programs.
Financial Impact
There are no financial impacts.
2 City Council Priority
This item supports the Excellent City Government pillar of the City Council priorities.
Suggested Motion
I move to approve the City’s General Plan Annual Progress Report for Calendar Year 2025 for submission to the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation and California’s Department of Housing and Community Development.
Summary
Following the adoption of a General Plan, a city’s planning agency is required by California Government Code Section 65400 to investigate and make recommendations to the legislative body regarding reasonable and practical means for implementing the General Plan or element of the General Plan, so that it will serve as an effective guide for orderly growth and development, preservation and conservation of open-space land and natural resources, and the efficient expenditure of public funds relating to the subj ects addressed in the General Plan. State law further requires that all cities submit an annual progress report to LCI describing the community’s progress toward implementing its General Plan, inclusive of an annual report on the progress of the Housing El ement, for submission to the HCD. By April 1 of each year, all cities shall provide the annual progress report to the legislative body for review and approval before submitting it to LCI and HCD.
It is recommended by the Planning Commission that the City Council approve the City’s General Plan Annual Progress Report for Calendar Year 2025 for submission to LCI and HCD.

Municipal Code ES – 3
The City shall review and update the Development Code to establish requirements for new development proposals, as follows: require noise attenuation for all development where the noise levels exceed established standards; require that mixed- use and multi -family residential developments mitigate noise impacts between adjacent uses; require development standards for new mixed-use
developments to locate noise sources away from residential portions of the development; require the use of walls and berms for residential projects adjacent to the 118 Freeway and major arterials; enforce interior and exterior noise standards; regulate the use of sound amplifying equipment; and enforce restrictions on hours of construction activity.
Ongoing. Concurrent with the approval of the General Plan, the Development Code was revised for the Mixed-Use Overlay Zoning District, including standards for noise/vibration, which require an acoustical analysis report when residential units are located within the same building as non-
residential uses. The remaining
Development Code amendments will be addressed at a later date.
Currently, these standards for noise reduction are implemented through the CEQA review process. Projects within the Freeway Combining (FC) overlay district are assessed on a case-by-case basis to provide noise attenuation to the levels detailed in the Development Code.
N-2: Environmental
Review ES – 2
The City shall continue to ensure that all development proposals are reviewed per the requirements of CEQA to ensure that all new development provides adequate sound insulation or other protection from existing and anticipated noise sources; incorporate am bient noise level considerations into land use decisions involving noise sensitive uses; and require the preparation of noise studies for new development.
Ongoing. Approval of development permits requires the
appropriate CEQA review and findings.
The City sh
all continue to observe state initiated CEQA reforms,
including but not limited to AB 1307 noise from human activities (talking and music) are not considered significant environmental impact.
N-3: Interagency
Coordination and
Partnership
ES – 5
The City shall coordinate with appropriate agencies, such as California Highway Patrol and Caltrans, to enforce state vehicle noise standards and to coordinate roadway design and
improvements.
Ongoing. All development proposals are reviewed on a case -by- case basis to determine if consultation with California Highway Patrol or Caltrans is necessary to address noise standards and roadway design issues.

Program 7: Adequate Sites
for RHNA and Monitoring
of No Net Loss
To accommodate the need for 4 lower-income units, 192 moderate-income units, and 65 above moderate-income units, the City rezoned 24.39 acres to Very High Density Residential and applied a Mixed-Use overlay to 3.99 acres. The rezoned sites permit up to 35 units per acre to allow multi-family by right (without discretionary action) and accommodate the RHNA need. The rezoned sites meet the requirements of Government Code 65583.2, including, but not limited to a minimum density of 20.1 units per acre, minimum site size to permit at least 16 units on site, and allow ownership and rental housing by right in which at least 20 percent of the units are affordable to lower income households. No additional rezoning subsequent to the statutory due date of October 15, 2021 is necessary. Develop a procedure in 2022 to monitor the development of vacant and nonvacant sites in the sites inventory and ensure that adequate sites are available to meet the remaining RHNA by income category, pursuant to SB 166. <> Support the preservation and development of housing for all income categories including moderate incomes to support missing middle housing throughout the city. Reference Program 16 for more specific actions and objectives related to missing middle housing. Pursuant to State law (AB 1397), amend the Zoning Ordinance in 2022 to require the replacement of units affordable to the same or lower income level as a condition of any development on a nonvacant site consistent with those requirements set forth in the State Density Bonus Law. 10/15/2029 6th Cycle Continuous
Program 8: By-Right
Approval for Projects with
20 Percent Affordable
Units *
By December 2023, establish a development review process for reused and rezoned sites to provide for the by-right approval multifamily for sale and for rent housing if 20 percent of the units would be affordable to lower income households consistent with AB 1397. In the interim, the City will be adhering to the by right rezoning provisions and exceed minimum densities outlined, pursuant to Government Code 65583.2, subd. (h) and (i). 12/31/2023 6th Cycle Completed

Furthermore, to demonstrate how the infrastructure requirements) can be conceptually applied, the City executed a memorandum of organization of the Southern California Association of Governments. As part of the 2021 California Comeback Plan under Assembly Bill 140 to confront the statewide housing affordability crisis, the City received a non-obligatory $60,000 grant through the regional partnership program to test the Specific Plan and generate various conceptual models. The models will accomplish the following: 1) identify inconsistencies and deficiencies within the Specific Plan that will require plan modification; and 2) finalized models will be made available as reference to potential developers interested in developing within the Specific Plan area. Studies are currently underway and a presentation to the City Council is tentatively scheduled for late Spring of 2026.
