NOW THEREFORE THE CITY COUNCIL DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. All of the facts set forth in the Recitals are true and correct and are hereby incorporated and adopted as findings of the City Council as if fully set forth herein.
Section 2. CEQA Findings
3 of 6
As shown in the Addendum to the Vallejo General Plan 2040 EIR (SCH#2014112035), attached hereto as Attachment 1, and in accordance with Public Resources Code Section 21166 and California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164, no environmental review beyond an addendum to the previously certified EIR for the Vallejo General Plan 2040 (SCH#2014112035) is required for the Project because:
1. The Project does not represent a substantial change from the General Plan 2040 which would require major revisions of the General Plan 2040 EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
2. The Project contains no substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the proposed land use and zoning amendments are undertaken. Therefore, the Project would not require any major revisions of the General Plan 2040 EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and
3. No new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the General Plan 2040 EIR was adopted, shows any of the following:
A. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3)(A), the Project would not have new significant effects not discussed in the General Plan 2040 EIR.
B. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3)(B), no significant effects previously identified in the General Plan 2040 EIR would be substantially more severe as a result of the Project.
C. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3)(C), there are no mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible that would in fact be feasible. The Project is not proposing any changes that would affect the feasibility of previously discussed mitigation measures or alternatives.
D. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3)(D), the Project would not result in any new or substantially more severe significant impacts that were not previously disclosed in the General Plan 2040 EIR. The Project’s General Plan Amendment and Zoning Map Amendment are not proposing any changes that would require consideration of new or different mitigation measures or alternatives from those adopted in the General Plan 2040 EIR that would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment.
Facts in Support: The proposal involves the change in land use designation identified within the General Plan 2040 for the 0.49-acre parcel previously developed as a commercial use from Primarily Single-Family Residential (R-SF) to Business/Limited Residential (B/LR), as well as a change in zoning district from Residential Low Density (RLD) to Regional Commercial (RC). The proposal does not include any components that would result in physical impacts to the site.
The R-SF land use designation applies to residential neighborhoods primarily characterized by detached single-family homes, although some older areas also have attached dwellings and small stores. The maximum permitted residential density in the R- SF designation is 9 dwelling units per acre; however, in single-family areas where
4 of 6
accessory dwelling units are allowed, maximum permitted residential density is 12 dwelling units per acre. Under its current land use designation, the project site would accommodate a maximum of 6 dwelling units. The B/LR land use designation that is being proposed is intended to facilitate high quality employment-based businesses, including professional office; health care and life sciences; research and development; production, distribution, and repair (PDR); and light industrial, manufacturing, and similar uses conducted primarily inside of buildings. The maximum permitted Floor Area Ratio (FAR) in the B/LR designation is 2.0, with a minimum residential density of 25 dwelling units per acre up to a maximum of 50 dwelling units per acre. Therefore, under the proposed B/LR land use designation, the maximum buildout of the 0.49 acre project site would be 25 units and approximately 42,700 square feet (sf). Based on the US Census Bureau’s data pertaining to average household size in Vallejo, this could equate to an additional 75 residents which is within the projected 25,000 new residents projected under the 2040 General Plan EIR, for a total city-wide build out of 142,744 residents by 2040. The potential 75 new residents would equal less than 1 percent of the additional population analyzed in the General Plan 2040 EIR and therefore would not be considered a major revision to the General Plan and would not result in any new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
The proposed Zoning Map Amendment would rezone the Subject Property from RLD to RC. The RLD zoning district is for low-density residential areas in which permanent single unit residences, including detached and attached (duplexes and townhouses) units, are the primary use. The RC zoning district, by contrast, is intended to create and establish regulations for sites that provide general retail, services, and commercial recreation and entertainment for local residents as well as consumers and visitors. The RC designation has a minimum density of 18 dwelling units per acre and maximum density of 50 dwelling units per acre, as well as a maximum non-residential FAR of 1.5. A list of all potential uses allowed within the proposed RC zoning district from the Use Standards Table in Vallejo Municipal Code Section 16.301 has been provided on pages 10-13 of the Addendum. The maximum buildout of the project site would be 25 residential units (or 76 new residents, as described above) and 32,000 square feet of non-residential use area. While the General Plan 2040 EIR did not analyze a maximum square footage for non-residential uses, it included a future city-wide growth projection of about 26,500 new jobs, with total employment in Vallejo numbering approximately 58,000 jobs. If the project site is developed with non-residential uses, the additional jobs, up to 160, would equal less than 1 percent of the additional jobs analyzed in the General Plan 2040 EIR, and therefore would not be considered a major revision to the General Plan and would not result in any new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
The Addendum also explores potential impacts of the proposal on cultural and tribal cultural resources over those previously identified within the General Plan 2040 EIR (see pages 13-14 of attached Addendum). Mitigation measures identified within the General Plan EIR, specifically CULT-2, which puts in place procedures to identify as-yet- unidentified archaeological resources prior to development, and CULT-3, which puts in place procedures in the event that paleontological resources are encountered during development, would apply to any future development proposals for the project site. These
5 of 6
existing mitigation measures would reduce the impacts to archaeological and paleontological resources to less than significant should future development of the site encounter undiscovered archaeological and paleontological resources.
The proposal, not involving any physical development of the site, would not require new or different mitigation measures from those adopted in the certified General Plan 2040 EIR. Additionally, the proposal would not result in any new or more significant impacts on cultural resources not discussed in the certified General Plan 2040 EIR.
The proposed changes to the land use designation and zoning district of the project site would not result in new significant impacts on the environment over those identified in the existing General Plan 2040 EIR. The B/LR land use designation and RC zoning district proposed are consistent with the primarily residential and commercial uses previously established at this site and found in the surrounding area. Furthermore, the City would require additional site-specific environmental review and compliance with CEQA once a development application is received and prior to the City’s entitlement approval. As the analysis within the Addendum shows, the proposal does not propose any components which would result in physical impacts or new impacts to the environment that were not identified in the General Plan 2040 EIR.
The Addendum to the EIR reflects the City’s independent judgment.
Section 3. Zoning Map Amendment Findings
1. The change in district boundaries is consistent with the General Plan.
Facts in Support: The proposed zoning designation of Regional Commercial implements the Business/Limited Residential General Plan land use designation, as shown in VMC Table 16.201-A, included as Attachment 2 to this Ordinance. Further, because the Subject Property is located adjacent to the I-780 freeway, the change in district boundaries from Residential Low Density to Regional Commercial would allow for uses consistent with other commercial uses along this corridor. This includes the property immediately south and east of the Subject Property across I-780 and Glen Cove Road known as Glen Cove Center.
2. The change in district boundaries is consistent with the purpose of the Zoning Code to promote the growth of the city in an orderly manner and to promote and protect the public health, safety, and general welfare.
Facts in Support: Because the Subject Property is located immediately adjacent to Interstate 780 at the intersection of Glen Cove Road, the change in district boundaries would provide a transitional buffer between that busy highway intersection and the residential neighborhoods beyond, thus protecting the public health, safety, and general welfare. Additionally, rezoning to the Regional Commercial (RC) zoning district would allow for a wider array of commercial and residential uses outlined in VMC Table 16.301- A and explored in pages 10-13 of the Addendum, thus promoting the growth of the City in an orderly manner by allowing additional commercial uses consistent with previous commercial development on this now-vacant site.
6 of 6
3. The change in district boundaries is necessary to achieve the balance of land uses desired by the city, consistent with the general plan, and to increase the inventory of land within a given zoning district.
Facts in Support: Rezoning the one-half acre Subject Property to Regional Commercial would allow for a wider array of commercial uses beyond those allowed under the current Residential Low Density zoning designation and for residential development at a greater density than presently permitted. As the analysis in the attached Addendum to the General Plan 2040 EIR demonstrates, the increased maximum development potential of both residential and commercial uses allowed under the Regional Commercial zoning district over the current zoning would result in an additional 19 residential units and 42,000 square feet of non-residential area supporting up to 160 new jobs. These additional units and employment represent a less-than-one-percent share of both the additional population and employment projected for the City of Vallejo by 2040. The analysis shows that changing the zoning district for this Project Site will allow for an increase in population and employment within the City of Vallejo without causing an imbalance.
Section 4. Zoning Map Amendment.
The City of Vallejo’s official zoning map and district boundaries referenced in Vallejo Municipal Code Section 16.102.02 (Official Zoning Map and District Boundaries) are hereby amended as set forth in Attachment 3, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Section 5. Typographical or Clerical Errors.
Any typographical or clerical errors in this Ordinance may be remedied by the City Attorney with the assistance of the City Clerk and shall not constitute an alteration Section 6. Severability.
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or word of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed and adopted this Ordinance, and each and all provisions hereof, irrespective of the fact one or more provisions may be declared invalid.
Section 7. Effective Date
This Ordinance shall take effect and be in full force and effect from and after thirty (30) days after its final passage.

2. Purpose and Determination
This document is an Addendum to the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Propel Vallejo General Plan Update and Sonoma Boulevard Specific Plan EIR (State Clearinghouse No. 2014112035), which was certified by the Vallejo City Council on August 29, 2017, and included the preparation of a General Plan Update as well as the development of a Specific Plan for the Sonoma Boulevard corridor (Sonoma Boulevard Specific Plan) and a citywide Zoning Code Update which were undertaken in parallel with the General Plan Update. The Final EIR, including the Draft EIR, discussed the potential environmental impacts associated with future development citywide under the General Plan 2040 (General Plan 2040 EIR) and along a 1.8- mile-portion of Sonoma Boulevard under the Sonoma Boulevard Specific Plan through 2040.
The General Plan 2040 serves as the previous California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) document considered in this CEQA Analysis. The document is hereby incorporated by reference and can be obtained from the City of Vallejo Planning and Development Services at 555 Santa Clara Street, Vallejo, CA 94590, and on the City of Vallejo Long-Range Plans webpage at:
https://www.cityofvallejo.net/cms/One.aspx?portalId=16925451&pageId=17560683.
2.1 Purpose of Addendum
The purpose of this Addendum is to disclose and discuss any potential environmental impacts associated with the 1235 Warren Avenue Project (Project) to the General Plan 2040. The Project would involve changing the land use designation and zoning district of the project site (see Section 4, Project Description below for more details). This Addendum evaluates whether these proposed changes would result in any new or substantially more adverse significant effects or require any new mitigation measures not identified in the General Plan 2040 EIR.
2.1.1 Overview of CEQA Guidelines
Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164 set forth the criteria for determining the appropriate additional environmental documentation, if any, to be completed when changes are proposed to a project that has a previously certified EIR. When considering the need for additional environmental review, the fundamental determination a lead agency must make is whether the previously certified EIR retains some informational value or whether changes in the project or circumstances have rendered it wholly irrelevant. If the previously certified EIR has continuing informational value, the lead agency then must determine whether the proposed changes in the project require additional environmental review under Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162.
Pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, a lead agency will prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary, but none of the conditions described in CEQA Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred.
CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a) states that no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following:
2. Purpose and Determination
1235 Warren Avenue Project 4 ESA / D202401335.00
Ap ril 2025
1. Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified si
gnificant effects;
2. Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is unde
rtaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or
3. New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have bee n k
nown with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as c
omplete or the negative declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
A. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration;
B. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR;
C. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or D. Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(e) requires an addendum to include a brief explanation as to why no subsequent EIR is required. As further described in Section 2.2, Determination, below, the Project would not result in any of the conditions described in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines requiring the preparation of a Subsequent EIR. Therefore, this Addendum is the appropriate environmental document to demonstrate compliance with CEQA and no additional environmental documentation or analysis is required.
2.2 Determination
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(1), the Project does not represent a substantial change from the General Plan 2040 which would require major revisions of the General Plan 2040 EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(2), the Project contains no substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the proposed land use and zoning amendments are undertaken. Therefore, the Project would not require any major revisions of the General Plan 2040 EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3), no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of
2. Purpose and Determination
1235 Warren Avenue Project 5 ESA / D202401335.00
Ap ril 2025
reasonable diligence at the time the General Plan 2040 EIR was adopted, shows any of the following:
A. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3)(A), the Project would not have new significant effects not discussed in the General Plan 2040 EIR. The discussion in Section 5, Environmental Analysis, below provides reasons for this finding.
B. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3)(B), no significant effects previously identified in the General Plan 2040 EIR would be substantially more severe as a result of the Project. The discussion in Section 5, Environmental Analysis, below provides reasons for this finding.
C. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3)(C), there are no mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible that would in fact be feasible. The Project is not proposing any changes that would affect the feasibility of previously discussed mitigation measures or alternatives.
D. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3)(D), the Project would not result in any new or substantially more severe significant impacts that were not previously disclosed in the General Plan 2040 EIR. The Project’s General Plan Amendment and Zoning Map Amendment are not proposing any changes that would require consideration of new or different mitigation measures or alternatives from those adopted in the General Plan 2040 EIR that would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment.
Therefore, in accordance with Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no supplemental environmental review is required beyond this addendum. The Project is eligible for CEQA streamlining provisions in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 for the use of an Addendum to the General Plan 2040 EIR.
3. Background
1235 Warren Avenue Project 6 ESA / D202401335.00
April 2025
3. Background
3.1 Planning Context
The project site is located within the Propel Vallejo General Plan 2040 (General Plan 2040), for which the City of Vallejo certified an EIR in August 2017, pursuant to CEQA. The General Plan 2040 is the City’s primary land use regulatory tool used to guide physical change within the City through the year 2040. As described below, the General Plan 2040 EIR analyzed the environmental impacts of adoption and implementation of the General Plan 2040, and where the level of detail available was adequate for analyzing potential environmental effects, the General Plan 2040 EIR provided program-level CEQA review for foreseeable development.
3.2 CEQA Context
3.2.1 General Plan 2040 EIR
The General Plan 2040 EIR is a program EIR which was prepared pursuant to Section 15168 of the CEQA Guidelines due to the long-term planning horizon of the project and the permitting, planning, and development actions that are related both geographically and as logical parts in the chain of contemplated actions for implementation. Once a program EIR has been certified, subsequent activities within the program must be evaluated to determine whether additional CEQA review needs to be prepared. However, if the program EIR addresses the program’s effects as specifically and comprehensively as possible, subsequent activities could be found to be within the program EIR scope, and additional environmental review may not be required (CEQA Guidelines Section 15168[c]). When a program EIR is relied on for a subsequent activity, the lead agency must incorporate feasible mitigation measures and alternatives developed in the program EIR into the subsequent activities (CEQA Guidelines Section 15168[c][3]). This document is an addendum to the General Plan 2040 EIR which provides the planning level analysis evaluating the potential significant environmental impacts that could result from the reasonably foreseeable maximum development under the General Plan 2040.
To analyze potential impacts of full buildout, the General Plan 2040 EIR used the following growth projection: 24,826 new residents; 8,127 new households; 8,352 new housing units; and 26,532 new jobs (see Table 3-4 of the General Plan EIR). According to the 2020 census, the City of Vallejo currently has about 126,000 residents (U.S. Census Bureau 2025).
The General Plan 2040 EIR identified potentially significant environmental effects, some of which could be feasibly mitigated or avoided. Such effects and corresponding mitigation measures are identified in the General Plan 2040 EIR and are incorporated herein by reference. The mitigation measures and mitigation monitoring program are listed in the General Plan 2040 EIR.

4. Project Description
4.1 1235 Warren Avenue Project Site
4.1.1 Project Location
The project site is located at 1235 Warren Avenue and is an approximately 0.49-acre parcel (Assessor’s Parcel Number 0074-160-730). The project site is bounded by Warren Avenue to the north, a vacant lot to the west, and an Interstate 780 (I-780) on-ramp to the east and south (see Figure 1).
4.1.2 Existing Site Conditions and Surrounding Context
The project site is currently occupied by a one-story, non-conforming commercial building and an adjacent surface parking lot. Existing uses surrounding the project site primarily consist of residential, commercial, and public and semi-public uses. To the north of the project site, across Warren Avenue, are cemeteries including the St. Vincent Cemetery and Carquinez Cemetery. To the east of the project site, across Glen Cove Road is the All Souls Cemetery and Funeral Center.
To the south of the project site, across the I-780, are residential uses as well as the Glen Cove Center which includes commercial uses. To the west of the project site, within unincorporated Solano County, are primarily residential uses.
4.2 Project Characteristics
4.2.1 Project Components
The project site is currently designated as Primarily Single-Family (R-SF) under the City of Vallejo’s General Plan and has a zoning district of Residential Low Density (RLD). The Project would involve a General Plan Map Amendment to convert the project site’s land use designation from Primarily Single-Family to Business/Limited Residential (B/LR) and a Zoning Map Amendment to convert the zoning district from Residential Low Density to Regional Commercial (RC).

5. Environmental Analysis
The General Plan 2040 EIR identified potentially significant environmental effects, some of which could be feasibly mitigated or avoided. The Project would result in a land use designation and zoning district change, therefore the topics of Land Use and Planning as well as Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources are discussed in more detail. The Project does not propose any components that would result in physical impacts or additional new impacts to the environment that were not identified in the General Plan 2040 EIR.
5.1 Land Use and Planning
The certified EIR found that land use and planning impacts from General Plan buildout would be less than significant and that no mitigation measures would be required.
The Project proposes a General Plan Map Amendment to convert the project site’s land use designation from Primarily Single-Family (R-SF) to Business/Limited Residential (B/LR). The R-SF land use designation applies to residential neighborhoods primarily characterized by detached single-family homes, although some older areas also have attached dwellings and small stores. The maximum permitted residential density in the R‐SF designation is 9 dwelling units per acre; however, in single‐family areas where accessory dwelling units are allowed, maximum permitted residential density is 12 dwelling units per acre. Therefore, under the current land use designation the maximum buildout of the project site would be 6 dwelling units.
The B/LR land use designation is intended to facilitate high quality employment-based businesses, including professional office; health care and life sciences; research and development; production, distribution, and repair (PDR); and light industrial, manufacturing, and similar uses conducted primarily inside of buildings. A mix of lot sizes is encouraged to accommodate small businesses as well as larger campus-style uses. Restaurants, retail stores, automotive services, personal and business services, hotels, and recreational facilities that cater to the needs of businesses, employees, and residents of the surrounding area are accommodated in the B/LR designation. Residential-only or mixed-use projects containing a residential component are also accommodated, providing that findings of compatibility can be made. The maximum permitted Floor Area Ratio (FAR) in the B/LR designation is 2.0, with minimum residential density of 25 dwelling units per acre up to 50 dwelling units per acre. Therefore, under the proposed B/LR land use designation the maximum buildout of the project site would be 25 units and approximately 42,700 square feet (sf). This could equate to an additional 75 residents, which is within the City’s projected 25,000 new residents, for a total build out of 142,744 residents by 2040 (City of Vallejo 2016). The potential 75 new residents would equal less than 1 percent of the additional population analyzed in the General Plan 2040 EIR.
The Project also proposes a Zoning Map Amendment to convert the zoning district from Residential Low Density (RLD) to Regional Commercial (RC). The RLD Zoning District is for low-density residential areas in which permanent single unit residences, including detached and attached (duplexes and townhouses) units, are the primary use. The RC Zoning District is intended to create and establish regulations for sites that provide general retail, services, and
5. Environmental Analysis
1235 Warren Avenue Project 10 ESA / D202401335.00
April 2025
commercial recreation and entertainment for local residents as well as consumers and visitors from the region. Design and development standards will accommodate auto-oriented uses and require buffering and transitions to adjacent residential neighborhoods. The RC designation has a minimum and maximum density of 18 and 50 units per net acre, respectively. Therefore, the maximum buildout of the project site would be 25 units. Additionally, the RC designation has a maximum non-residential FAR of 1.5 and a maximum height of eight stories. Therefore, the maximum buildout of the project site for non-residential use would be approximately 32,000 sf.
Although the General Plan 2040 EIR did not analyze a maximum square footage for non- residential use, it included a future growth projection of about 26,500 new jobs for a total of approximately 58,000 jobs throughout the City. If the Project site is developed with non- residential uses, the additional jobs (up to 160) would be within those buildout assumptions (City of Vallejo 2016). The potential 160 new jobs would equal less than 1 percent of the additional jobs analyzed in the General Plan 2040 EIR.
According to the Use Standards Table in Chapter 16.301 in the Vallejo Municipal Code the following uses are permitted, but may be subject to Zoning Compliance Review determination under the RC designation:

• Group residential large (more than 6)
• Residential care facility senior
• Single room occupancy

According to the Use Standards Table in Chapter 16.301 in the Vallejo Municipal Code, the RC Zoning District requires a Major Use Permit for the following uses:
• Entertainment facility large-scale (indoor)
• Restaurant with drive-through
• Public market large (30,000 sf or more)

• Community assembly large (5,000 sf or more)
• Conference/convention facility
• Hospital
• School (K-12) large (10,000 sf or more)
The proposed changes to the land use designation and zoning district of the Project site would not result in new significant impacts on the environment over those identified in the existing General Plan 2040 EIR. The B/LR land use designation and the RC zoning district proposed are consistent with the primarily residential and commercial uses in the surrounding area. Furthermore, the City would require additional site-specific environmental review and compliance with CEQA once a development application is received and prior to the City’s entitlement approval. As the analysis shows, the Project does not propose any components which would result in physical impacts or new impacts to the environment that were not identified in the General Plan 2040 EIR.
5.2 Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources
The certified EIR found that cultural resource impacts related to historical resources, human remains, and tribal cultural resources from General Plan buildout would be less than significant and require no mitigation measures. However, the certified General Plan 2040 EIR identified potentially significant impacts to archeological and paleontological resources due to the lack of specific implementing procedures surrounding future development from the General Plan buildout. Buildout from the General Plan could result in direct adverse impacts to known archaeological resources, and there is a high probability of additional, unidentified, archaeological resources being found within areas that would be redeveloped under the General Plan. The certified EIR identified Mitigation Measure CULT-2 which puts in place procedures to identify as-yet-unidentified archaeological resources prior to development. Although there were no known paleontological resources within the General Plan area at the time of the certified EIR, the geology of the General Plan area could

contain undiscovered paleontological resources. The certified EIR identified Mitigation Measure CULT-3 which puts in place procedures in the event that paleontological resources are encountered during development. These mitigation measures would reduce the impacts to archeological and paleontological resources to less than significant.
ESA conducted a Northwest Information Center (NWIC) records search for the parcel at 1235 Warren Ave (Records Search 24-1183). There are no cultural resources recorded in the parcel; however, the parcel has not been previously surveyed for cultural resources. The adjacent St.
Vincent Cemetery is recorded as P-48-001040. The nearest archaeological resource is P-48-000083, Nelson 236, located 1.25 miles south of the parcel and is an indigenous habitation and burial site.
As discussed above, the certified EIR determined that there was potential to encounter undiscovered archeological and paleontological resources. Similarly, future development of the site could encounter undiscovered archeological and paleontological resources; however, the mitigation measures identified in the certified EIR would still be applicable and are incorporated herein by reference. The proposed project would not require new or different mitigation measures from those adopted in the certified EIR. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in any new or more significant impacts on cultural resources not discussed in the certified General Plan 2040 EIR.
5.3 Conclusion
The Project would implement a change to the General Plan Land Use Designation and Zoning Map District of the project site. No development projects are proposed at this time that would result in physical impacts or additional new impacts to the environment. Future development projects would be required to obtain City approval prior to construction. Furthermore, future projects must comply with the General Plan, zoning ordinance, state and federal permits, and local development standards, as well as relevant mitigation measures in the certified General Plan 2040 EIR. In addition, future discretionary actions (i.e., use permits, site plan review) would require independent and project-specific environmental review to comply with CEQA.
No significant impacts would result from the Project based on a review of the relevant CEQA sections. Therefore, the proposed General Plan Map Amendment and Zoning Map Amendment would have no new significant impacts on the environment over those identified in the existing General Plan 2040 EIR, and an addendum is sufficient to comply with CEQA.
6. Summary of Findings
Based on the information above, the Project would not result in any new impacts or increase the severity of previously identified significant impacts analyzed in the certified General Plan 2040 EIR. No new mitigation measures would be required. The proposed General Plan Map Amendment and Zoning Map Amendment would not result in a substantial change to the project analyzed in the General Plan 2040 EIR, so no additional environmental review is required.
This analysis was performed pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164 and is intended to determine if additional environmental review is required or if the changes proposed by the project are within the scope of the previously certified General Plan 2040 EIR. This
6. Summary of Findings

analysis determined that the General Plan 2040 EIR is of continuing informational value. The Project is within the scope of that previously certified EIR, and none of the conditions requiring the preparation of subsequent or supplemental environmental review under CEQA Guidelines section 15162 exists. Therefore, the City of Vallejo, as lead agency, has determined that this Addendum to the EIR is sufficient to meet the requirements of CEQA and no additional environmental review is required. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15164, this Addendum does not need to be circulated for public review and can be included in or attached to the final EIR. The decision-making body shall consider the Addendum with the certified EIR prior to deciding on the Project. Therefore, this Addendum satisfies the requirements of CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving separate Supplies Purchase Agreements for traffic safety and control devices with JAMS Services, LLC and Econolite Control Products, Inc. for an amount not to exceed $250,000 each and authorizing the City Manager to execute same.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The current contracts for these supplies will expire on June 30, 2025. These materials are essential for maintaining and repairing the City’s traffic safety infrastructure. City Council approval is required for contract awards exceeding $100,000.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
In recent years, the Public Works Department has spent $100,000 - $200,000 per year on supplies needed to repair and maintain streetlights and traffic safety and control devices. Sufficient inventory of these supplies must be kept on hand, so they are readily available when repairs or replacements are needed as a result of deterioration, malfunction, or vehicular accidents that damage or destroy equipment. In accordance with City procurement requirements, staff solicited requests for quotations on May 1, 2025. JAMS Services, LLC and Econolite Control Products, Inc. submitted the detailed line-item bids for the requested supplies by the deadline of May 15, 2025.
Each company offers distinct products and pricing. Staff recommend entering into agreements with both vendors to ensure a reliable backup supply.
Council approval of this item will give staff authority to execute said contracts in the amount not to exceed $250,000 each for the purchase of traffic control, street lighting and safety supplies through June 30, 2026, with options to extend in one-year intervals until June 30, 2028.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for supplies is available in the Public Works budget through existing appropriations. Expenditures in future fiscal years are subject to council authorization of annual budget appropriations.

SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION GRANTING UTILITY EASEMENTS TO PACIFIC GAS AND
ELECTRIC COMPANY (PG&E) TO ALLOW THE INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
OF EQUIPMENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE ELECTRICAL SERVICE TO THE VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS IN PARKING LOT K LOCATED AT 340 YORK STREET, PARKING LOT L LOCATED AT 426 YORK STREET, AND IN THE NORMAN C KING SOUTH VALLEJO COMMUNITY CENTER PARKING LOT LOCATED AT 545 MAGAZINE
STREET, FINDING THIS ACTION EXEMPT PURSUANT TO CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15303, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE SAME, AND
DIRECTING THE CITY CLERK TO RECORD THE EASEMENTS IN THE SOLANO
COUNTY RECORDER'S OFFICE
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution granting utility easements to Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) to allow the installation and maintenance of equipment necessary to provide electricity to the vehicle charging stations in Parking Lot K located at 340 York Street, Parking Lot L located at 426 York Street, and in the Norman C King South Vallejo Community Center parking lot located at 545 Magazine Street, finding this action exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303, authorizing the City Manager to execute same, and directing the City Clerk to record the easements in the Solano County Recorder's Office.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
Public Works is adding electric vehicle (EV) charging to the City's public parking lots. Working with Electric Vehicle Charging Solutions (EVCS), staff developed plans for adding electrical service to support electric vehicle charging infrastructure. In order for PG&E to gain access for the installation of the transformer and meter needed to supply electricity to the EV chargers that have been installed, a utility easement from the adjacent public right of way (Hudson Alley, York Street, and Magazine Street) into the Parking Lots is required.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Public Works has been working with Solano Transportation Authority (STA) for several years on grants and partnerships to deliver public EV Charging in Solano County as a turnkey solution for local agencies. STA awarded a contract to Electric Vehicle Charging Solutions (EVCS) to pursue grant funds and develop public EV charging in Solano County jurisdictions, including Vallejo. Vallejo Public Works evaluated available public parking lots to implement EV charging to better serve the public.
Following identification of 21 public parking lots in Vallejo where EV charging was desired and could be accommodated, including Lots K and L on York Street and the Norman C King South Vallejo Community Center, Public Works brought a staff report and resolution to Council on April 12, 2022, seeking authorization to execute a Site Host Agreement with EVCS and authorizing implementation of EV charging in the public parking lots. Council adopted the resolution (No. 22-065) authorizing these actions. The Site Host Agreement with EVCS was executed by the City Manager on July 5, 2022.
The agreement with EVCS is a design, build, finance, operate, and maintain arrangement whereby the City

provides access to our public facilities and EVCS handles all other aspects of the project. EVCS developed and submitted plans for constructing EV Chargers in Lots K, L, and the Community Center along with connecting these facilities to electrical power supplied by PG&E distribution infrastructure. The City reviewed and permitted EVCS’s construction of electrical charging infrastructure and EVCS has constructed the projects and worked with PG&E to approve the electrical infrastructure improvements needed to deliver electricity.
Public Works has reviewed the site development plans and form of easement needed for PG&E's utility infrastructure and has now brought the easements to Council for approval. Details of the easements can be found on the attached easement documents.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact with the approval of this action.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from environmental review under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303(d) because it consists of installing a limited number of small facilities necessary for EV charging in existing parking lots.

nting this easement to PG&E, the easement area may be used to serve additional customers in the area and may be used to install additional utility facilities. Installation of any proposed facilities outside of this easement area will require an additional easement. • Rem
oval and/or pruning of trees or other vegetation on your property may be necessary for the installation of PG&E facilities. You have the option of having PG&E’s contractors perform this work on your property, if available, or granting permission to PG&E’s applicant or the applicant’s contractor to perform this work.
Additionally, in order to comply with California fire laws and safety orders, PG&E or its contractors will periodically perform vegetation maintenance activities on your property as provided for in this grant of easement in order to maintain proper clearances from energized electric lines or other facilities. • The d
escription of the easement location where PG&E utility facilities are to be installed across your property must be satisfactory to you.
• The C
alifornia Public Utilities Commission has authorized PG&E’s applicant to perform the installation of certain utility facilities for utility service. In addition to granting this easement to PG&E, your consent may be requested by the applicant, or applicant’s contractor, to work on your property. Upon completion of the applicant’s installation, the utility facilities will be inspected by PG&E. When the facility installation is determined to be acceptable the facilities will be conveyed to PG&E by its applicant.
By si
gning the Grant of Easement, you are acknowledging that you have read this disclosure and understand that you are voluntarily granting the easement to PG&E. Please return the signed and notarized Grant of Easement with this Disclosure Statement attached to PG&E.

ACTION ITEM 8.H.
DATE: July 8, 2025
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Kristin Pollot, AICP, Planning and Development Services Director SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING A CONSULTANT AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH 4LEAF, INC. FOR BUILDING INSPECTION SERVICES IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $800,000 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2026, WITH TWO
ONE-YEAR OPTIONS TO EXTEND, AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO
EXECUTE SAME
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution approving a Consultant and Professional Services Agreement with 4Leaf, Inc. for building inspection services in an amount not to exceed $800,000 through June 30, 2026, with two one-year options to extend, and authorizing the City Manager to execute same.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Development Services Department has identified the need for additional specialized building inspection services to address complex specialized projects.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The City of Vallejo relies on contractual services when specialized building inspection services are needed. 4Leaf, Inc. provides such specialized building inspection services to municipalities across California, including:
• Use of advanced technology, such as GoFormz software, to manage inspection requests, documentation, and reporting.
• Support for complex and large-scale projects requiring specialized expertise.
Over the last fiscal year, the need for contract assistance in the Building Division was much greater than anticipated due to: 1) unanticipated complexity of certain projects, 2) an influx of projects requiring building inspection within a similar timeframe, and 3) an inability to perform such services with existing staffing and within a reasonable timeframe to keep projects moving while not impacting the community. During this time staff kept the work going in order to maintain minimum service delivery for our customers.
Due to these circumstances, as well as the fact that: 1) the vendor was moving quickly, 2) there was a need to bind a new contract with the vendor due to contract expiration, and 3) additional language needed to be developed for the new contract that was not covered in the previous Agreement, a situation occurred where work was performed outside of the previous contract scope. Because of this, a substantial portion of the work covered by this new agreement before Council has already been performed (approximately $680,000 of work over the last year). Although work was done outside of the original (previous) contract, funds for those already performed tasks were appropriately planned for and set aside within the FY24-25 department budget to cover the overage; however, payments cannot be made on these past-due invoices without a revised contract in place.
The remaining balance after invoices are paid, will be made available to fund future continued specialized
Date: July 8, 2025
Subject: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING A CONSULTANT AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH 4LEAF, INC. FOR BUILDING INSPECTION SERVICES IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $800,000 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2026,
WITH TWO ONE-YEAR OPTIONS TO EXTEND, AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO EXECUTE SAME
building inspection services through June 30, 2026. It should be noted that the division has recently hired three new qualified building inspectors, and we are actively working on additional recruitments so that we can decrease our need for specialized contract assistance moving forward into the new fiscal year.
Approval of this new agreement with 4Leaf will allow the City to maintain its commitment to high-quality services and compliance with regulatory standards.
FISCAL IMPACT
The contract amount of $800,000 will be funded through existing department resources, including salary savings. No impact on the General Fund is anticipated.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to CEQA Section 15378, as it is not a project that has the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
