Project Title Fostering Resilience: Prop 47 Program
Project Summary CUE’s Prop 47 program will serve up to 150 justice-involved individuals in Vallejo over three years, with a focus on Black and Brown men ages 18–35, LGBTQ+ youth, and young parents. Participants begin with a 90-day stabilization phase, followed by up to 15 months of tailored support in behavioral health, housing, and employment. Services are delivered in the field, at CUE offices, or virtually, in partnership with Solano County Behavioral Health, Kaiser Permanente, Shelter Inc., and the Solano Workforce Development Board. Each participant co-creates a SMART goal plan and receives trauma-informed care, peer support, and ongoing case management. This initiative aims to reduce recidivism, expand access to recovery services, and improve long-term stability. The City of Vallejo and CUE request $1,988,563 in Prop 47 funding to implement this equitycentered, community-led program.

Section 1. Project
Need
Description of Community Need
Vallejo, a racially and economically diverse city of approximately 123,000 residents in Solano County, faces deeply entrenched challenges at the intersection of criminalization, behavioral health disparities, and economic

Page 217 of 2600 ends

marginalization—challenges that Proposition 47 was specifically designed to address. The city’s violent crime rate—845 per 100,000 residents—is nearly double the national average, with local jails disproportionately filled with Black and Brown individuals, many of whom enter the system with untreated cooccurring mental health and substance use disorders (International Association of Chiefs of Police, 2023). The Vallejo Police Department has seen a steep decline in capacity, currently operating with only 87 active officers out of 132 authorized, down from a high of 160 before 2008. These constraints have contributed to longstanding concerns about public safety, youth violence, and deteriorating trust between community members and law enforcement.

Substance use and behavioral health conditions further exacerbate these challenges. In 2023, Solano County recorded 70 opioid-related deaths, placing it among the most affected counties in Northern California (California Department of Public Health, 2023). Emergency department overdose visits increased by 24% between 2021 and 2023, rising to 142 per 10,000 residents, with Latinx (160), Black (155), and White (130) residents showing the highest visit rates.

Vallejo also has the highest poverty rate and the lowest life expectancy in the county (Kaiser Permanente Community Health Needs Assessment, 2022). More than half of the city’s population identifies as Black, Latinx, or Filipino—groups that experience compounded barriers to care, including language access gaps, stigma, housing insecurity, and long waitlists for Medi-Cal-covered services.

Solano County ranks in the 61st percentile on the CDC’s Social Vulnerability Index (SVI), and 46% of its residents rely on Medi-Cal, reflecting widespread economic need and reliance on public systems. Serious mental illness among adults aged 18–25—the population most targeted by Prop 47—stands at 7.4%, compared to 5.9% statewide; among adults aged 26–54, the prevalence is 5.1% (vs. 4.2% statewide). Additionally, Black residents in Solano County are incarcerated at nearly five times the rate of White residents, and Vallejo consistently posts some of the highest youth arrest and probation rates in the Bay Area (CA DOJ OpenJustice; KidsData.org, 2023).

Despite the urgency of these indicators, Vallejo’s behavioral health and reentry ecosystems remain fragmented. Providers report gaps in culturally competent care, inconsistent follow-up, and limited cross-sector coordination. In a May 2025 listening session hosted by CUE, community members described local services as “disjointed, reactive, and impersonal,” and expressed a strong desire for “life coaching,” “consistent follow-up,” and programs that “treat the whole person.” CUE’s Prop 47 initiative was designed in direct response to these needs and offers a trauma-informed, community-led model of care that reflects Vallejo’s lived realities.

1.2 Target Population
CUE’s Prop 47 program will serve up to 45 justice-involved individuals annually— primarily, but not exclusively, Black, Latinx, and Filipino youth and adults ages 16 to 35 who reside in Vallejo, have experienced arrest, incarceration, or probation/diversion, and present with co-occurring behavioral health and substance use disorder (SUD) needs. The program emphasizes transitional-aged youth (18–25) and adults up to age 55—populations that are overrepresented in the justice system and responsive to community-based support. CUE’s 2024 Fostering Resilience Workforce Program data revealed that nearly 60% of participants were Black men between ages 18 and 55 with dual diagnoses.

This local data is supported by national research. A 2021 Vera Institute of Justice study found that jurisdictions implementing Justice Reinvestment Initiative models saw 12–18% reductions in jail populations and a 25% decrease

Page 218 of 2600 ends

in probation revocations when community-based supports were adequately funded. Vallejo youth assessed via Conover and the Casey Life Skills (CLS) system score 15–20% below national norms in financial literacy, employment readiness, and resource navigation—factors correlated with recidivism and longterm instability.

Participants will be referred through partnerships with the Vallejo Police Department’s VISIONS Program, Solano County Mental Health and Drug Courts, the Public Defender’s Office, and community-based organizations in the Vallejo Community Violence Intervention Network. Additional entry points include outreach, transitional housing, and self-referral. Upon intake, CUE staff will use trauma-informed tools—including DASS-21, SDOH screeners, and the Casey Life Skills Assessment—to determine eligibility, tailor services, and track outcomes related to housing, health, employment, and trauma exposure.

1.3 Addressing Disparities
CUE’s Prop 47 initiative is grounded in a commitment to equity, access, and healing-centered engagement, with services intentionally designed to reduce disparities for Black, Brown, low-income, LGBTQIA+, and immigrant communities.

More than 85% of CUE’s staff and leadership reflect the racial, linguistic, and lived experiences of the populations served, many of whom have personal histories of incarceration, recovery, or housing insecurity. This alignment helps establish trust and fosters consistent engagement among participants who have been underserved or harmed by traditional systems. Services are available in English, Spanish, and Tagalog, and accommodations—including mobile outreach, virtual care options, and disability access—are built into the delivery model to ensure full participation regardless of barriers.

CUE further strengthens its inclusive model by applying tools such as the Equitable Hiring Toolkit developed by ReWork the Bay, which guides its efforts to remove structural barriers in recruitment and create employment pathways for justice-impacted individuals. All staff receive training in Mental Health First Aid (MHFA), which improves their capacity to intervene effectively in crisis situations, and in the Community Resilience Model (CRM), a trauma-informed care framework with proven results—a 40% reduction in stress symptoms over eight weeks. CUE’s outreach and peer engagement staff include formerly incarcerated individuals who serve as credible messengers, mentors, and systems navigators. Their presence ensures that every participant is met with empathy, dignity, and a belief in their capacity to recover and succeed.

1.4 Alignment with Proposition 47
CUE’s program is fully aligned with the statutory intent and funding priorities of Proposition 47. It offers a comprehensive, trauma-informed continuum of care that includes mental health and substance use treatment referrals, life coaching, peer mentorship, housing navigation, and intensive case management. These services are delivered through multiple pathways, including post-release outreach, court diversion, community-based referrals, and street outreach. All programming is guided by validated assessment tools—such as DASS-21, Conover, and SDOH screeners—which ensure individualized care planning and real-time tracking of participant progress.

The program’s core objective is to reduce recidivism by connecting justiceinvolved individuals to culturally rooted, community-driven supports that address the behavioral, social, and economic factors contributing to system involvement.

By diverting participants from incarceration and linking them with accessible services tailored to their needs, CUE’s Prop 47 initiative advances public safety while fostering personal stability and community reintegration. This work is further

Page 219 of 2600 ends

anchored in CUE’s Shared Safety framework, which is co-led by the Vallejo Community Violence Intervention Network and CUE’s Chief of Public Health & Safety. The initiative convenes partners from law enforcement, courts, public health, and community-based organizations to co-create sustainable strategies rooted in accountability, healing, and opportunity. Through this collaborative approach, CUE is building a restorative pipeline that transforms Vallejo’s most vulnerable residents from cycles of crisis into pathways of stability, recovery, and hope.

Section 2. Community
Engagement

2.1 Prop 47 Local Advisory Committee Engagement Process The City of Vallejo, in partnership with the CUE, implemented a participatory and equity-centered process to form the Prop 47 Local Advisory Committee (LAC).

Stakeholders were identified through the Vallejo Community Violence Intervention (CVI) Network and expanded outreach efforts designed to ensure diverse, community-rooted representation. To engage a broad cross-section of residents and organizations, CUE facilitated a multi-step process that included community listening sessions, one-on-one outreach, small group meetings, and targeted surveys.

Input was gathered from reentry and justice reform advocates, behavioral health and housing providers, restorative justice leaders, public defenders, victims and survivors of violence, faith leaders, and youth mentors. City, county, and state agency partners were also invited to contribute to a multi-sector, communitydriven planning structure. Priority was given to individuals with direct or intergenerational justice involvement—particularly Black, Latinx, and Filipino residents—whose lived experience reflects the populations most impacted by incarceration, substance use, and systemic inequity.

Community partners were selected based on their demonstrated commitment to equity, restorative practices, and culturally responsive care. Invitations were extended through personal phone calls, follow-up conversations, and referrals from trusted leaders to build trust and foster authentic participation. Special efforts were made to ensure accessibility, including offering flexible meeting times, ADA-accessible locations, transportation support, and interpretation and disability accommodations.

The process was designed to be transparent, inclusive, and relationship based.

The driving goal was to ensure that the Local Advisory Committee reflects the voices, priorities, and lived realities of Vallejo’s most impacted communities and is equipped to guide Prop 47 implementation with integrity, accountability, and community ownership.

2.2 Meeting Access and Public Transparency
All Prop 47 LAC meetings are publicly noticed at least ten business days in advance through multiple channels, including CUE’s website, social media platforms, partner newsletters, and printed flyers distributed by the outreach team. Notices are bilingual in English and Spanish, with Tagalog available upon request to ensure linguistic accessibility. Physical postings are placed in locations that serve justice-involved and low-income communities, including libraries, reentry centers, transitional housing sites, health clinics, and faith institutions.

Meetings are held quarterly in a hybrid format—both in person at ADA-accessible facilities and online via Zoom, with closed-captioning and interpretation services provided. Each meeting begins with a brief orientation that outlines community guidelines, establishes intentions, and reviews decision-making protocols. Public comment is integrated into every session, along with structured breakout discussions and real-time polling when applicable, to ensure that feedback from

Page 220 of 2600 ends

participants directly informs planning and program oversight.

Meeting agendas, notes, and materials are made publicly available online and at designated community-based organization offices (CBO) throughout Vallejo. All attendees receive follow-up summaries with key takeaways, outcomes, and next steps. This approach to transparency, access, and ongoing engagement ensures that the LAC remains accountable to the public and grounded in the voices of the community it serves.

2.3 Committee Composition
The Prop 47 LAC reflects the cultural, racial, and experiential diversity of Vallejo and Solano County, with members representing a wide range of sectors and lived experiences critical to the success of Proposition 47 implementation. The committee includes governmental stakeholders and nonprofit organizations, and formerly incarcerated adults and transitional-age youth who bring firsthand knowledge of reentry, recovery, and the barriers to stabilization. Their insight and strategic thinking processes ensures services are grounded in dignity, trust, and real-life applicability.

Mental health and substance use professionals contribute clinical expertise and help the committee identify and address systemic treatment gaps. Faith-based leaders who operate reentry and healing ministries offer spiritual and communityrooted guidance, while public defenders and restorative justice practitioners ensure that the voices of those navigating the legal system are heard in the program design and evaluation process. Health equity specialists provide a systems lens informed by public health, racial justice, and trauma-responsive practice, supporting the committee’s alignment with broader equity goals.

Educators and youth mentors contribute their understanding of how incarceration, exclusion, and instability affect educational trajectories. Family members of system-impacted individuals bring vital perspectives on the intergenerational impact of incarceration, emphasizing the need for services that support reunification and family resilience. Victims and survivors of crime and violence contribute a restorative justice lens, grounding the committee’s work in healing, accountability, and community safety.

Our LAC structure intentionally disrupts traditional power dynamics by valuing lived experience equally with academic or professional expertise. Members not only advise on programmatic direction—they co-develop agendas, recommend performance benchmarks, review qualitative data, and co-lead outreach events to sustain community trust and ensure accountability. This shared leadership model strengthens transparency, responsiveness, and long-term community ownership of Prop 47 outcomes.

The continuity and structure of the committee are anchored by the Vallejo CVI Network, which is led by CUE’s Chief of Public Health & Safety, Dionne Carter. A Public Health and Safety professional with over two decades of experience throughout the SF Bay Area in violence prevention and intervention, reentry and prevention services, community capacity building, and systems change. Her leadership infuses the LAC with trauma-informed, culturally grounded practices that center healing, equity, and the lived experiences of those most impacted by incarceration and community violence.

Together, this diverse coalition ensures that Vallejo’s Prop 47 planning and implementation are community-led, equity-driven, and rooted in a holistic vision of justice that prioritizes safety, restoration, and long-term recovery.

Description

3.1 Participant Identification
Participants will be identified through a coordinated and multi-pronged referral network designed to promote equitable and timely access to services. Referral pathways include formal agreements with the VPD’s VISIONS Program, the Solano County Probation Department, the Public Defender’s Office, Solano County Mental Health and Drug Courts, and community-based organizations that comprise the Vallejo Community Violence Intervention Network. Additional referrals will be accepted from shelters, transitional housing programs, community outreach, public events, and direct self-referrals.

Once referred, participants will complete a trauma-informed intake process conducted by trained CUE staff. This process incorporates a suite of standardized, evidence-based assessment tools to evaluate risk, identify strengths, and determine individualized service needs. These tools include the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 to evaluate emotional well-being, the Unite Us platform’s Social Determinants of Health screening to identify housing, food, and environmental needs, the Casey Life Skills Assessment to evaluate independent living readiness, and the Conover Online suite, which supports career development and emotional intelligence training. Through the Unite Us platform, CUE accesses a network of 54 providers across Solano County that collectively process over 800 referrals per month.

Eligible participants are age 16 or older, have a history of Prop 47-eligible offenses or related diversion eligibility, and present with behavioral health or substance use disorder needs. Participants may enter the program at multiple stages of the legal process, including post-arrest, pre-filing, post-arraignment, or by referral from diversion and collaborative court programs. Individuals with urgent or acute needs will be prioritized for immediate connection to services.

CUE’s Outreach Specialists and Opportunity Coordinators—many formerly incarcerated or in long-term recovery—lead engagement by building trust and providing mentorship. Their lived experience helps them connect with individuals transitioning from incarceration, unstable housing, or system involvement. Each participant co-develops a strengths-based Individual Engagement Plan with SMART goals, guiding service delivery through warm handoffs and ongoing monitoring in CUE’s integrated data system to ensure accountable, personalized care.

3.2 Services and Delivery
CUE will deliver a comprehensive, trauma-informed continuum of care to at least 150 justice-involved individuals over the grant period, serving approximately 45 to 50 participants annually. The program prioritizes Vallejo residents who are most impacted by Prop 47, particularly Black and Latino individuals who face barriers related to systemic exclusion, behavioral health disparities, and housing instability.

Following intake, participants will co-create a personalized service plan aligned to their identified goals in behavioral health, housing, employment, and justice

Page 222 of 2600 ends

system navigation. Services will be delivered over a 12 to18-month period, depending on participant readiness and progress. Participants may access services in person, virtually, or in the field, based on individual preferences and accessibility.

The program offers a range of core supports, including behavioral health and substance use referrals, housing navigation for transitional and permanent placements, life and career coaching, peer mentoring, violence prevention, and restorative healing circles. Employment services include job readiness training and placement support, in collaboration with workforce providers.

This service continuum is strengthened by leveraged resources. Through Elevate Youth CA, CUE has been awarded $500,000 to deliver approximately 180 peerled prevention workshops. Through its partnership with the Solano Workforce Development Board and HIRE California, CUE has secured $350,000 to support transitional employment and coaching for an estimated 120 participants.

Service delivery is led by a cross-disciplinary team. Case managers coordinate individualized care and track progress, while system navigators handle documentation, benefits enrollment, and referrals to reduce barriers. Outreach Specialists and Opportunity Coordinators offer relational support, de-escalation, and retention. This integrated model allows CUE to provide culturally responsive, evidence-based services that are accessible, consistent, and aligned with Prop 47’s goals.

3.3 Service Approach
CUE’s program will serve up to 150 individuals over a three-year period, with targeted outreach to populations disproportionately impacted by Proposition 47 offenses. These include Black and Brown men ages 18 to 35, LGBTQ+ youth, and young parents navigating multiple systems.

Each participant begins with a 90-day intensive stabilization period focused on relationship-building, comprehensive assessment, and connection to urgent services. This is followed by a nine- to fifteen-month phase of transitional support, goal setting, and service delivery tailored to individual needs. Services are provided flexibly and may take place at CUE’s program offices, in libraries, during home visits, or in field-based settings.

CUE partners with local agencies and service providers to ensure a full range of supports. Behavioral health and substance use services are accessed through Solano County Behavioral Health, Kaiser Permanente, TabiMoms, and other Unite Us referral partners. Workforce development and employment services are coordinated through CUE’s internal team and through partnerships with the Solano Workforce Development Board and AJCC sites. Housing support is provided via Harmony Homes for Healing, Shelter Inc., and the Vallejo Housing Authority. Basic needs support and barrier mitigation services are enhanced through support from ReWork the Bay and the Boys and Girls Empowerment Group.

The staff structure is designed to maintain consistent participant engagement.

The Opportunity Coordinator serves as lead case manager and success coach, guiding participants through trauma-informed intakes, SMART goal development, and service follow-through. The Outreach Specialist conducts community-based engagement in high-need neighborhoods and ensures participants are connected to CUE’s internal and external teams. An Administrative Assistant supports scheduling, logistics, and compliance tracking. Oversight is provided by the Chief of Public Health and Safety, who supervises field staff and ensures the integration of behavioral health and violence prevention strategies. The Chief

Page 223 of 2600 ends

Workforce Officer, supported through HIRE CA funding, builds employer partnerships and creates pathways to sustainable employment. Strategic leadership is provided by the executive team, including the CEO, Executive Director, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Education Officer, who ensure program alignment, accountability, and integration across CUE’s education and reentry systems.

3.4 Provider Selection
CUE employs a strategic process for selecting service providers. All internal and external providers are assessed for alignment with CUE’s values and their ability to deliver trauma-informed, culturally grounded, and strengths-based care. The selection process includes interviews, track record reviews, and evaluation of service models that prioritize harm reduction, healing, and restorative practices.

CUE selects providers based on their ability to deliver trauma-informed, culturally grounded services to system-impacted populations. All partners demonstrate cultural humility, restorative practices, and success working with high-needs communities. External referrals are coordinated through Unite Us, ensuring HIPAA-compliant, accountable service connections.

Internally, over 75% of CUE staff are formerly incarcerated, in recovery, or system-impacted. Staff hold advanced degrees and certifications in traumainformed care and community health. Their lived experience and community ties help reach underserved individuals and support long-term retention.

3.5 Start-Up Timeline
CUE will begin service delivery within 30 days of award. Staff hiring is underway; service sites are fully equipped and connected to Cal-E Grants and Unite Us.

Referral agreements are in place, and a kickoff training with staff and partners will occur within two weeks of award.

3.6 Alignment with Prop 47 Guiding Principles
CUE’s program aligns with the intent of Prop 47, calling for a shift away from incarceration and toward investments in community-based alternatives that promote healing, recovery, and long-term public safety. The initiative centers equity by focusing on populations most impacted by structural racism, criminalization, and disinvestment, including Black and Brown communities in Vallejo.

CUE’s approach is rooted in trauma-informed care and public health principles. It shifts the response to justice involvement from punitive to restorative by prioritizing dignity, accountability, and opportunity. Services are delivered by culturally grounded organizations embedded within the communities they serve, with staff who reflect and understand participants’ lived realities. The program supports sustainable reintegration through long-term engagement and crosssector coordination, making it a model for systemic transformation aligned with the statute’s vision.

3.7 Leveraged Funding
CUE will leverage state, local, and philanthropic funding to maximize impact and sustainability. Each source reinforces a component of CUE’s reentry model while minimizing duplication and increasing efficiency.

Through partnerships with the Solano and California Workforce Development Boards, CUE accesses HIRE (Helping Justice-Involved Reenter Employment) resources to provide job readiness training, paid transitional employment, and career coaching. Of the $1.2 million awarded to Solano County under a $4.5 million statewide initiative, CUE received $350,000 to support transitional-aged youth in vocational training and reentry employment.

Page 224 of 2600 ends

CUE also draws on Medi-Cal Administrative Activities reimbursement to support core functions. Certified Community Health Workers and case managers provide outreach, health education, and care navigation for uninsured or underinsured participants, sustaining engagement and service continuity.

A $500,000 grant from Elevate Youth California supports trauma-informed prevention education, peer mentoring, and youth leadership development. Project HOPE, a hospital-based violence intervention initiative with Kaiser Permanente and the VPD, enables immediate outreach to victims of violence and connects them to case management and recovery services. ReWork the Bay supports systems-change work in workforce equity and employer engagement. A pending CalVIP Cohort 5 application would expand outreach, healing events, and violence interruption for high-risk individuals. Together, these investments strengthen CUE’s integrated, multi-layered service system and advance the goals of Proposition 47.

Section 4. Data
Collection and Project
Evaluation

4.1 Evaluation and Monitoring
The City of Vallejo will oversee project evaluation in collaboration with the Center for Urban Excellence (CUE), which will lead internal monitoring alongside an experienced external evaluator. This dual structure ensures that evaluation is rigorous, participatory, and responsive in real time.

Page 226 of 2600 ends

CUE’s Data and Evaluation Coordinator, with oversight from the COO, will develop and implement the evaluation framework. Monitoring will begin during the start-up phase with validation of workflows, assessment of readiness, and establishment of shared data protocols. Standardized tools—including DASS-21, the Casey Life Skills (CLS) Assessment, and Conover Online—will be used at intake to generate consistent baseline data across behavioral health, life skills, and employment domains. These instruments support reliable outcome tracking and pre/post comparisons.

During implementation, CUE will conduct bi-monthly fidelity checks to ensure services such as behavioral health, housing support, violence intervention, and workforce development are delivered as intended. Data from Unite Us and Cal-E Grants will be used to monitor progress on referrals, milestone achievement, and SMART goal outcomes. Participant growth will be assessed at 90, 180, and 365 days using the same tools from intake.

At closeout, CUE will lead a structured review of outcomes and stakeholder feedback to inform the final report. This report will include both quantitative data and qualitative insights and will be submitted to BSCC along with quarterly and annual progress updates. CUE will also use continuous feedback loops to refine implementation throughout the grant period and ensure alignment with Prop 47 objectives.

4.2 Outcome Measures
The proposed initiative will utilize a comprehensive set of process and outcome measures to evaluate the effectiveness of services and ensure alignment with the goals identified in the Work Plan. A central outcome measure will be recidivism, defined by the BSCC as a new misdemeanor or felony conviction within three years of release or supervision. This measure reflects the program’s goal of reducing justice system involvement through coordinated, community-led care.

Additional metrics will track how many individuals are referred, enrolled, and retained; how quickly they are connected to services; and how consistently they engage with case management and program activities. Data on behavioral health treatment completions, housing stability, employment placement, and education gains will be collected to monitor program fidelity and effectiveness. Increases in income and sustained housing for six or more months will serve as indicators of long-term stability.

Qualitative feedback will provide additional depth and context. CUE will gather participant satisfaction data through surveys and narrative evaluations; staff will document observed progress and remaining barriers. Focus groups and community partner interviews will offer add’l perspectives on referral efficiency and service quality. The combo of quantitative and qualitative data will be reviewed regularly to support mid-course corrections and ensure that the program remains responsive, equitable, and impactful in advancing Prop 47 goals.

4.3 Research and Data Sharing
CUE and the City will implement a mixed-methods research design that captures both individual-level outcomes and systems-level impact. Evaluation activities will be embedded into every phase of implementation, from intake to post-exit followup. Each participant will complete a comprehensive assessment process at enrollment that includes the DASS-21 for mental health screening, the Unite Us social determinants of health (SDOH) survey, the CLS assessment to measure

Page 227 of 2600 ends

independent living skills, and Conover tools for workplace readiness, emotional regulation, and financial literacy. These validated instruments establish baseline indicators across critical domains, allowing for pre- and post-comparisons over time.

Follow-up assessments will be conducted at 90-day, 6-month, and 12-month intervals to measure changes in employment, housing, emotional wellness, and civic engagement. Staff will document weekly case notes and conduct monthly SMART goal reviews to adjust services in real time. Program partners will report on referral outcomes and participant completions using secure, shared systems.

CUE will also prioritize the inclusion of participant voice in evaluation activities.

Through personal testimonials, structured journaling, one-on-one interviews, and restorative listening sessions, the project will capture the lived experience of program participants. These insights will inform service design and ensure that interventions are both culturally responsive and aligned with the realities of those most impacted by incarceration and behavioral health disparities.

All data collection will be conducted in compliance with HIPAA and FERPA standards, with participants providing informed consent during intake. CUE and the City will enter formal MOUs with key partners, including the VPD, Solano County Courts, and local behavioral health and workforce agencies, to support secure data sharing and longitudinal tracking. Findings will be reported quarterly to BSCC and used to inform both sustainability planning and systems change strategies across Vallejo.

4.4 Data Sharing and Reporting
CUE and the City will establish formal data-sharing agreements with core partners to support integrated evaluation and participant tracking. These MOUs will allow secure exchange of de-identified information such as diversion status, arrest records, job placements, and housing outcomes while maintaining full legal compliance. The VPD will provide justice system data, while Solano Behavioral Health and the Workforce Development Board will share service completion metrics.

All data will be stored in encrypted, HIPAA-compliant digital systems with multilevel access controls. Internal reports will be generated quarterly to support staff decision-making, while BSCC-required reports will be submitted on time and in full. Public-facing annual evaluation reports will be presented to the Local Advisory Committee (LAC) to promote transparency and accountability to the community.

Through this structured and community-centered data-sharing framework, CUE and the City of Vallejo will uphold a high standard of accountability while advancing innovation in justice reform. The program’s evaluation and reporting strategy measures success, ensuring that services evolve in step with community needs and the equity-centered vision of Prop 47.

DATE: March 24, 2026
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Jason Ackley, Assistant to the City Manager
SUBJECT: PROVIDE NOTICE OF INTENT TO AMEND THE FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026 BUDGET IN THE AMOUNT OF $32,775.88 FROM THE MALLINCKRODT BANKRUPTCY (step 1 of 2)

RECOMMENDATION
Provide Notice of Intent to amend the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget by $32,775.88

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
Staff have identified uses for these funds that conform with the utilization requirements, lessen impacts to the General Fund, and educate regarding opioid and substance abuse. Per City Charter Section 703, amending the budget requires a public notice of intent prior to any action taken. A staff report with recommendation to amend the budget will be presented to City Council at the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On October 12, 2020, Mallinckrodt PLC, a pharmaceutical company engaged in the development, manufacturing, and marketing of pharmaceutical products, including opioids, commenced bankruptcy proceedings in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to, among other things, address their opioid liabilities. In connection with the bankruptcy filing, Mallinckrodt entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (“RSA”) with Attorneys General for 50 states and territories. The RSA established the National Opioid Abatement Trust (NOAT) II for the distribution of funds to Mallinckrodt PLC’s public creditors.

The City of Vallejo has received $32,775.88 from the Mallinckrodt Bankruptcy and no additional funding is to be anticipated from this source.

The Vallejo Police Department has identified two potential uses for the funds:

Opioid and Substance Abuse Training - The Connect and Protect: Law Enforcement Behavioral Health Response Program has a local-match requirement to fund Opioid and Substance Abuse training for officers.

The cost of the training/local match amount is $25,250.

The 3rd Grade Reading Program - Vallejo Police Department, in partnership with VCUSD and IHART, conduct an annual 3rd Grade Reading Program. Officers visit classrooms and read Making It Better in Vallejo by Andre Lewis to students, and gift over 800 books annually. The recent edition of the book contains educational information regarding opioids and substance abuse and safety in a fashion understandable by young children. The cost of printing the books amounts to $4,660.13.

Any additional funding offsets the staff time for those participating in these programs. City staff proposes to use the opioid funds to support these two eligible activities.

FISCAL IMPACT
This action provides the Council's Notice of Intent to amend the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 budget by $32,775.88.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378.

CONSENT CALENDAR 8.H.

DATE: March 24, 2026
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Beth Schoenberger, Water Director
SUBJECT: ACCEPT LAKE CURRY LANDSLIDE EMERGENCY REPAIR PROJECT AS COMPLETE

RECOMMENDATION
Accept the Lake Curry Landslide Emergency Repair Project performed by FJ&I Engineering, Inc., of San Pablo, California as complete.

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The Water Director has determined that the work has been substantially completed in accordance with the plans and specifications.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Lake Curry dam was built in the mid-1920s. Surrounding property was purchased by the City of Vallejo to accommodate the proposed reservoir, as well as some of the surrounding watershed. At that time there were a few properties surrounding the reservoir that used an unpaved/dirt access road that followed the then existing streambed. When the dam was built, and the reservoir filled, the access road was inaccessible for use. The City was sued by landowners, and a settlement agreement was reached for an alternative access route that granted landowners an access easement across City-owned property.

During Jan-Feb 2023 a series of atmospheric rivers caused a landslide at the access road beyond the Lake Curry dam on City property. The landslide cut into a portion of the dirt and gravel access road. While the road remained passable for passenger cars, the possible future erosion of the hillside made the situation dangerous longer term. Due to the storms' state-wide infrastructure impacts, and the associated immediate demand for project management, investigation, environmental permitting, and design consultants to perform an analysis and design of repairs to the affected landslide area, obtaining immediate resources for the repair was impossible. Consultants across the state with the required experience were busy with other weather-related projects. During the summer of 2023, the City was able to obtain these resources and begin the process of repair.

The City ultimately hired BSK Associates to prepare plans and specifications for the project. The construction contract was awarded to FJ&I Engineering, Inc., in the amount of $439,350 on June 11, 2024 through Resolution 24-086 N.C. Construction began on August 27, 2024, and was substantially completed by April 30, 2025. The project had a 90 working-day contract, which included additional working days added by change order.

FISCAL IMPACT
The appropriated project budget and estimated project expenditures are as follows and include no fiscal impact on the General Fund.

The total project costs $461,0500 (Contract amount of $439,350 plus $21,700 in change orders) and is funded by the Water Enterprise Fund under the Water Facilities Access Road Improvement Project (WT7013), which has sufficient appropriated funding to cover the cost of the project. The change orders included unforeseen

Page 2 ends

work and adjustment to bid item quantities for actual final constructed quantities.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act because the project involved repair of an existing facility involving negligible or no expansion of the existing or former use pursuant to CEQA Guideline 15301.

CITY CLERK TO RECORD SAID EASEMENT DEEDS IN THE OFFICE OF THE SOLANO

COUNTY RECORDER

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution: 1) granting two easement deeds to Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) for the installation of electrical equipment upon City-owned property at 139 Curtola Parkway (portions of APNs: 0055- 170-550; 0058-090-350): 2) finding the action exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15303(d) and 15304(f); 3) authorizing the City Manager to execute same; and 4) directing the City Clerk to record said easement deeds in the Office of the Solano County Recorder.

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
These two utility easements will allow Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) to gain access to the City parcels located at 139 Curtola Parkway in Vallejo to install utility equipment serving the EV charging stations and lighting installed at the boat launch parking lot.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The newly refurbished boat launch parking lot located at 139 Curtola Parkway in Vallejo will utilize electrical power supplied by PG&E. Electrical service to the site will include the installation and operation of utility infrastructure including underground electrical service lines, conduit, and power transformer equipment necessary to support site lighting, EV charging stations and any other operational needs that may follow. To allow for the placement, access, maintenance, and long-term operation of this utility infrastructure, these easement deeds to PG&E are required.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City for granting the easement deeds to PG&E.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303(d) — New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures. This classification includes utility extensions, including electrical, of reasonable length to serve such construction. This action is also exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15304(f), which exempts minor trenching and back-filling of public land where the surface is restored, which covers the work to install the underground utility extensions.

GRANTING TWO EASEMENT DEEDS TO PACIFIC GAS & ELECTRIC COMPANY (PG&E) FOR THE INSTALLATION OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT UPON CITYOWNED PROPERTY LOCATED AT 139 CURTOLA PARKWAY (PORTIONS OF APNS: 0055-170-550 & 0058-090-350); 2) FINDING THE ACTION EXEMPT PURSUANT TO CEQA GUIDELINES SECTIONS 15303(d) AND 15304(f) 3) AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE SAME; AND 4) DIRECTING

THE CITY CLERK TO RECORD SAID EASEMENT DEEDS IN THE OFFICE OF

THE SOLANO COUNTY RECORDER
WHEREAS, the newly refurbished City-owned boat launch parking lot located at 139 Curtola Parkway will utilize electrical power supplied by PG&E; and WHEREAS, PG&E has requested that the City of Vallejo grant utility easements for the purpose of installing underground and aboveground electrical distribution facilities upon a portion of Cityowned property at 139 Curtola Parkway (APN 0055-170-550 and 0058-090-350); and WHEREAS, electrical service to the site is necessary to support the new site lighting and EV charging stations installed in the parking lot.

WHEREAS, the action of granting a utility easement is categorically exempt from CEQA as the utility easement would extend electrical service to minor structures and would involve minor trenching and backfilling of public land where the surface is restored, which have been determined not to have a significant impact on the environment.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council hereby finds that this action is exempt from environmental review under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections:
15303(d) - as the granting of the two easement deeds to PG&E will extend electrical service to the newly installed EV charging stations and site lighting in the boat launch parking lot; and 15304(f) – as the work to extend the electrical service will involve minor trenching and backfilling of public land where the surface is restored.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Vallejo hereby grants to PG&E the Easement Deeds attached hereto as ATTACHMENTS 1 and 2 and finds that the granting of such easements to allow PG&E to install electrical distribution equipment upon portions of APNs 0055-170-550 and 0058-090-350 is in the best interest of the City.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Manager is directed and authorized to execute said Easement Deeds and the City Clerk is directed and authorized to record or cause to be recorded said Easement Deeds in the Office of the Solano County Recorder.

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 description of the easement location where PG&E utility facilities are to be installed across your property must be satisfactory to you.
• The California Public Utilities Commission has authorized PG&E’s applicant to perform the installation of certain utility facilities for utility service.

findings under the Vallejo Municipal Code (VMC). In addition, the project would include new private streets and alleyways that have been designed to meet City Standards, and would replace and relocate an existing sewer pump station that would continue to serve the existing neighborhood and new subdivision.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Sancerra Vista Cove, LLC, the applicant, applied for a Tentative Map, Planned Development, Development Review, Design Review, and landscape review for the Vista Cove Subdivision. The project includes a tentative map to subdivide two vacant parcels, totaling 20.13-acres, into a total of 57 new parcels. Of the 57 new parcels proposed, four would be dedicated to open spaces and bio-retentions basins, one is proposed for the new private roadway network, one is proposed for a sewer sanitary pump station, and the remaining 51 would be for the development of 51 detached single-family residences. To facilitate the proposed development plan with special development standards crafted for the unique site conditions, the project includes a request for rezoning to Planned Development (PD). The PD zone allows for one or more properties to be developed under a plan that would provide better opportunities for coordinated development, while still ensuring substantial compliance with, and implementation of, the applicable land use and density policies of the General Plan.

Development of the 51 detached single-family residences and associated infrastructure, such as the private roadway network, would be concentrated on the northern 10.39-acres of the total 20.13-acre site, while the southern half would remain as undeveloped open space. The 51 single-family lots are proposed to be developed with four different floor plans to be dispersed throughout the subdivision, each offering a modern farmhouse architectural variation. The four different floor plans range from 2,494 square feet to 2,674 square feet with an overall maximum building height of 30 feet and four inches. The base model floor plan has a total of three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. The second model has an additional bedroom and bathroom, and the third and fourth models have an additional bedroom and bathroom plus a loft. Each model floor plan would have an attached two-car garage, approximately 444 square feet, and there would be two uncovered parking spaces within the driveway on each lot.

In addition to the residential units, the proposed subdivision would include development of new private streets, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, new lighting, various bio-retention basins, and open space areas that would be privately owned and maintained. New landscaping, including street trees, shrubs and ground cover, is also proposed for installation within all new residence front yards.

The project plans can be viewed as Exhibit D of the attached Resolution "Resolution Adopting Project." Please note that the plan set has not been changed or revised since the Planning Commission hearing.

Development Entitlements
The following development entitlements have been requested for the project:
• CEQA Determination: Adoption of an IS/SMND pursuant CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and Public Resources Code 21166; and
• Planned Development: Amend the zoning map to change the zoning for the project sites from Residential Low Density (RLD) and Residential Medium Density (RMD) Districts to Planned Development (PD) District; and
• Tentative Map: Subdivide two vacant parcels totaling 20.13 acres into a total of 57 new parcels. Of the 57 new parcels proposed, four would be dedicated to open space, one is proposed for the new private roadway network, one is proposed for a sewer sanitary pump station, and the remaining 51 would be for detached single-family residences; and
• Development Review: Site review of the development proposal for the 51 detached single-family residences and associated infrastructure; and
• Design Review: Approval of the project’s site design aspects including site design, building architecture; and
• Landscape Review: Approval of associated landscaping in front of the single-family residences and throughout the subdivision.

The project and its associated entitlements were reviewed against applicable policies and actions of the City of Vallejo General Plan 2040, applicable submittal requirements for a Tentative Map, Planned Development, Development Review, Design Review, and Landscape Review and the required findings of approval specified in Title 16: Zoning of the Vallejo Municipal Code. In all instances, the project and its associated entitlements were found to meet the applicable policies, actions, standards and findings. Therefore, staff is recommending the City Council adopt the IS/SMND and MMRP and requested entitlements for the project, as conditioned.

Design Review Board Recommendation
On July 10, 2025, the Design Review Board (DRB) conducted a duly noticed public hearing and reviewed the project and voted 3-0, with one absence, recommending that the Planning Commission approve design aspects, including building architecture and landscaping of the project.

Measures were provided to the Tribe on January 17, 2025, and re-sent on February 13 and March 17, 2025, with no additional responses received.

During the public review period for the Initial Study/Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/SMND), all NAHC-listed tribal representatives were notified. The Confederated Villages of Lisjan Nation and the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation submitted comments, which were incorporated as project-specific mitigation measures.

On March 2, 2026, pursuant to VMC Section 16.602.08, notice of this hearing was published in the Times Herald, mailed to all active neighborhood groups, all property owners within 1,500 feet of the subject property, the Vallejo Unified School District, local agencies expected to provide water, wastewater treatment, and/or other essential facilities or services to the project, the property owner’s, the applicant, and electronically sent to the members of the City Council, Planning Commission, Design Review Board and any other interested parties. Additionally, a notice for the hearing was posted at the site at three different locations.

Public Comments
Supplemental questions and responses can be found in Attachment 26 of this staff report. Additionally, comments received during the public noticing period can be found in Attachment 27 of this staff report.

FISCAL IMPACT
The project application is subject to the City of Vallejo Master Fee schedule, and the applicant is covering the cost of the entitlements required to process the project. The project, if approved and constructed, would result in the creation and assessment of new residential parcels, resulting in an increase of property taxes.

Additionally, prior to issuance of building permits, building permit fees, development impact fees, school district impact fees and Greater Vallejo Recreational District Impact fees will be collected.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The City retained LSA Associates, Inc. (LSA) to prepare a Initial Study/Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/SMND) to the existing Vallejo General Plan 2040 Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearing House [SCH]#20141120356), certified by the City Council on August 29, 2017, to evaluate whether the proposed project would result in any new or substantially more adverse significant effects or require new mitigation measures not identified in the General Plan 2040 EIR. The IS/SMND prepared by LSA is included as Exhibit A to the recommended Resolution for the Environmental Review.

The IS/SMND determined that the Project could result in potentially significant impacts to the environment in the CEQA topical areas of: Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils,

noticed public hearing and voted 4-2, with one absence, to adopt Resolution No. PC26- 01, recommending adoption of the SMND and MMRP to the City Council; and WHEREAS, on March 2, 2026, pursuant to Vallejo Municipal Code Section

16.602.08, notice of this hearing was published in the Times Herald and mailed to all active neighborhood groups and property owners within 500 feet of the Subject Property, the property owners, the Vallejo City Unified School District and all other local agencies expected to provide water, wastewater treatment, or other essential facilities or services to the Project and electronically mailed to the members of the City Council, Planning Commission and Design Review Board, and to the applicant and interested parties; and WHEREAS, the City Council held a public hearing on March 24, 2026, to consider and receive testimony on the environmental review determination pursuant to CEQA prior to taking action on the Project and its associated development entitlements and introduction of an ordinance.

NOW, THEREFORE, LET IT BE RESOLVED that the City Council hereby finds, determines and resolves as follows:

Section 1. Recitals
The foregoing recitals are true and correct, and the same are incorporated herein by reference.

Section 2. Record
The Record of Proceedings ("Record") upon which the City Council bases its decision on the Project includes but is not limited to: (1) the staff reports, City files and records, and other documents prepared for and/or submitted to the City relating to the Project; (2) the evidence, facts, findings and other determinations set forth in this resolution; (3) Vallejo General Plan 2040 and its certified final Environmental Impact Report (“GP EIR”); (4) the 2021 Zoning Code and its Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration; (5) the Vallejo 2023-2031 Housing Element and Addendum to the GP EIR dated September 2025 prepared by Environmental Science Associates; (6) the Vallejo Municipal Code; (7) all designs, plans, studies, data and correspondence submitted to the City in connection with the Project; (8) all documentary and oral evidence received at public meetings, hearings, or submitted to the City during the comment period relating to the Project; and (9) all other matters of common knowledge to the Planning Commission including, but not limited to, City state, and federal laws, policies, rules, regulations, reports, records, and projections related to development within the City of Vallejo and its surrounding areas.

Section 3. Initial Study/Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration Considered.

Based upon the information in the Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration, which is incorporated herein by reference, the Record as described above, and all other matters deemed material and relevant prior to adopting this resolution, the City Council hereby adopts an Initial Study/Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/SMND) for the Project based on the following:
a. The IS/SMND has been completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162); and
b. The IS/SMND was presented to the City Council, which, at a hearing before the public, reviewed and considered the information contained in the IS/SMND prior to making its decision on the Project; and
c. The IS/SMND reflects the City’s independent judgment and analysis as Lead Agency.

Section 4. CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 Findings
The City Council further finds that none of the circumstances set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 are present with respect to the Project and no further environmental review is required based on the following findings:

1. Substantial changes are not proposed in the project which will require revisions of the GP EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.

Facts in Support: The Project proposes a land use that is consistent with the existing GP designations. The characteristics of the proposed Project are the same as previously assumed in the General Plan EIR. Impacts analyzed in the General Plan EIR would remain the same with the proposed Project. The IS/SMND identified potentially significant impacts to the environment including specific impacts to Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, and Tribal Cultural Resources, which would be avoided or mitigated to less than significant levels through adoption and implementation of the mitigation measures included in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP), as described in Exhibit B of this Resolution. Thus, the proposed Project does not require a major revision to the EIR and does not substantially increase the severity of previously identified significant effects.

2. Substantial changes have not occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.

Page 298 of 2600 ends

Page 5 of 8 ends

Facts in Support: The circumstances under which the proposed Project would occur are not changed from what was assumed in the General Plan EIR, nor does the proposed Project result in a new or substantial increase in the severity of significant impacts in the General Plan EIR, as demonstrated in the Environmental Checklist in Section 4 of the IS/SMND. No notable circumstances pertaining to the Project site or its surroundings have occurred since the General Plan EIR analysis was prepared.

While updates and changes have occurred to certain CEQA criteria, thresholds, and/or analysis approaches as a result of amendments to the CEQA Guidelines, caselaw, or other regulations or adopted standards and/or guidance, these are disclosed in the Environmental Checklist in Section 4 of the IS/SMND.

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 GP EIR was adopted, shows any of the following:

A. The Project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the GP EIR;
Facts in Support: The GP EIR identifies significant and unavoidable impacts for air quality, GHG emissions, noise, and transportation. Because development of the proposed Project of 51 residential units on the Project site was factored into the GP EIR analysis, the Project would not exceed what was analyzed in the GP EIR, which considered a much greater level of citywide development. As identified in the IS/SMND, there are potentially significant impacts to the environment which would be avoided or mitigated to less than significant levels through adoption and implementation of the MMRP, as described in Exhibit B of this Resolution.

B. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the GP EIR;
Facts in Support: Because development of the proposed Project of 51 residential units on the Project site was already factored into the analysis of the GP EIR, the Project would not exceed the General Plan EIR impacts, which considered a much greater level of citywide development of which the proposed Project is a part. The proposed Project does not result in a significant effect that is substantially more severe than shown in the previous GP 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
Facts in Support: As previously discussed, the characteristics of the proposed Project are the same as previously assumed in the General Plan EIR. Impacts analyzed in the General Plan EIR would remain the same with the proposed Project. The IS/SMND identified potentially significant impacts to the

Page 299 of 2600 ends

Page 6 of 8 ends

environment including specific impacts to Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, and Tribal Cultural Resources, which would be avoided or mitigated to less than significant levels through adoption and implementation of the mitigation measures included in MMRP, as described in Exhibit B of this Resolution.

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.

Facts in Support: No new mitigation measures or alternatives from the GP EIR have changed. As previously discussed, the IS/SMND identified potentially significant impacts to the environment which would be avoided or mitigated to less than significant levels through adoption and implementation of the Project specific mitigation measures included MMRP, as described in Exhibit B of this Resolution.

Section 5. CEQA Findings
The City Council hereby adopts the Initial Study/Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/SMND), attached hereto as Exhibit A and, based thereon and on the Record as a whole, finds that all potentially significant environmental effects of the Project have been eliminated or reduced to a less-than-significant level as set forth in the IS/SMND, such that the Project and its associated actions will not have a significant effect on the environment.

Section 6. Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Program The City Council hereby adopts the Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Program (MMRP), as detailed in Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, which is a program designed to ensure compliance with the Project changes and mitigation measures imposed to avoid or substantially lessen the significant effects identified in the IS/SMND and said mitigation measures are described in the MMRP included therein and incorporated herein by reference.

Section 7. Indemnity and Time Limitations
a. The Applicant, property owner and any successor(s) in interest, whether in whole or in part, shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City and its agents, officers, attorneys, and employees from any claim, action, or proceeding brought against the City or its agents, officers, attorneys, or employees to attack, set aside, void, or annul the decision(s) at issue herein. This indemnification shall include damages or fees awarded against the City, if any, costs of suit, attorney’s fees, and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such action whether incurred by the Applicant, the

Page 300 of 2600 ends

Page 7 of 8 ends

City, and/or parties initiating or bringing such action. b. The Applicant, property owner and any successor(s) in interest, whether in whole or in part, shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City, its agents, employees, and attorneys for all costs incurred in additional investigation of or study of, or for supplementing, preparing, redrafting, revising, or amending any document, if made necessary by said legal action and the Applicant, property owner, and/or any successor in interest desires to pursue securing such approvals, after initiation of such litigation, which are conditioned on the approval of such documents in a form and under conditions approved by the City Attorney.
c. In the event that a claim, action, or proceeding described above is brought, the City shall promptly notify the Applicant, property owner, and/or any successor(s) in interest of the existence of the claim, action, or proceeding, and the City will cooperate fully in the defense of such claim, action, or proceeding. Nothing herein shall prohibit the City from participating in the defense of any claim, action, or proceeding; the City shall retain the right to (i) approve the counsel to so defend the City, (ii) approve all significant decisions concerning the manner in which the defense is conducted, and (iii) approve any and all settlements, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The City shall also have the right not to participate in said defense, except that the City agrees to cooperate with the Applicant, property owner, and/or any successor(s) in interest in the defense of said claim, action, or proceeding. If the City chooses to have counsel of its own to defend any claim, action, or proceeding where the developer has already retained counsel to defend the City in such matters, the fees and expenses of the counsel selected by the City shall be paid by the Applicant, property owner and/or any successor(s) in interest. d. The Applicant, property owner and any successor(s) in interest, whether in whole or in part, indemnifies the City for all the City’s costs, fees, and damages which the City incurs in enforcing the above indemnification provisions. e. Unless a shorter limitation period applies, the time within which judicial review of this decision must be sought is governed by California Code of Civil Procedure, Section 1094.6. f. The conditions of Project approval set forth herein include certain fees, dedication requirements, reservation requirements, and other exactions. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66020(d)(1), the conditions constitute written notice of a statement of the amount of such fees and a description of dedications, reservations, and other exactions. You are hereby further notified that the 90-day approval period in which you may protest these fees, dedications, reservations, and other exactions pursuant to Government Code Section 66020(a), has begun. If you fail to file a protest within this 90- day period complying with all of the requirements of Section 66020, you will be legally barred from later challenging such exaction.

2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This chapter describes the proposed Vista Cove Planned Development Project (project) submitted by Sancerra Vista Cove, LLC (the project sponsor) and evaluated in this document. An overview of the project site and surrounding land uses is followed by the details of the proposed project itself. A summary of required approvals and entitlements and intended uses of this document is also provided. The City of Vallejo is the Lead Agency for environmental review.

2.1 PROJECT SITE
The following describes the project’s local and regional context, existing site characteristics, and surrounding land uses.

2.1.1 Project Site Location and Access
The 20.13-acre project site is located at the northeast corner of Shady Lane and Wildflower Avenue (APNs 0079-171-170 and 0079-120-100) in Vallejo, Solano County. Vallejo is approximately 20 miles northeast of San Francisco, along the eastern end of San Pablo Bay. The project site is in southeastern Vallejo, west of the eastern boundary with the city of Benicia, in an area consisting primarily of residential, recreational, and public and semi-public uses.

Regional vehicular access to the project site is provided by Interstate 780 (I-780), located immediately north of the project site. The closest on- and off-ramps to the project site are located along Glen Cove Road, approximately 0.45 mile west of the project site. Direct local access to the project site is via Shady Lane and Wildflower Avenue, which border the site immediately to the southwest.

The project site is served by SolTrans Routes 3 and 8, with the transit stops located approximately

0.5 mile to the west along Glen Cove Parkway. The Amtrak station in Vallejo is approximately 4 miles northwest of the project site, and the Vallejo Ferry Terminal, which offers ferry service between Vallejo and San Francisco, is approximately 3.5 miles northwest of the project site.

2.1.1 Existing Site Conditions
The project site is made up of undulating hills and flat areas, with elevations ranging from approximately 70 feet above mean sea level (amsl) in low lying areas along the eastern portion of the project site up to approximately 290 feet amsl along the southwestern boundary of the project site. The southern portion of the site is generally lower in elevation and increases in elevation towards the west.

Non-native annual grassland and scattered mature trees primarily occupy the vacant project site.

There are 83 mature trees on the project site. The project site also includes one intermittent stream, connected to a seasonal wetland located in a low-lying area in the middle of the project site, and one linear freshwater marsh.1 There is an existing access easement from Wildflower Avenue to provide access to APN 0079-120-100 from APN 0079-171-170.

2.1.2 Existing Land Use and Zoning
The City of Vallejo General Plan 2040 designates the project site as Mix of Housing Types (R-MH) and Primarily Single Family (R-SF), as shown on Figure 2-3. Permitted land uses within the R-MH and R-SF designations are similar and include single-family homes. In addition, the land use designations allow duplexes, triplexes fourplexes, smaller-scale apartment buildings, and small commercial spaces, as well as public facilities such as schools, religious institutions, parks, and other community facilities appropriate within a residential neighborhood. The maximum permitted residential density in the R-MH designation is 25 dwelling units per acre, and nine dwelling units per acre in the R-SF designation; however, in single-family areas where accessory dwelling units are allowed, maximum permitted residential density is 12 dwelling units per acre.

The project site is zoned Residential Medium Density (RMD) and Residential Low Density (RLD). The RMD Zoning District allows a mix of housing types, including attached and detached structures, and small apartment buildings. Development in these zones is subject to density limits (up to 25 dwelling units per acre) and design and development standards to ensure land use compatibility. The district also allows mixed-use development with residential and small commercial spaces, a variety of neighborhood supportive services, public and educational facilities, open spaces, and community facilities. In undeveloped areas of the city, it is the intent of this district to encourage the creation of multi-unit residential neighborhoods with a variety of housing types.

The RLD Zoning District is intended for low-density residential areas in which permanent single unit residences, including detached and attached (duplexes and townhouses) units are the primary use.

This district also allows other residential types, including cottages and bungalows around courts, small neighborhood-serving retail, a variety of neighborhood supportive services, public and educational facilities, open spaces, and community facilities. The maximum permitted residential density is nine dwelling units per acre, excluding accessory dwelling units.2 1 WRA, Inc. 2024.

2.2.1 Rezoning
To facilitate development of the project as proposed, the project site would be rezoned as PD. As outlined in Chapter 16.209 of the City of Vallejo Municipal Code, the PD zone allows for one or more properties to be developed under a plan that would:
• Provide opportunities for coordinated development;
• Ensure substantial compliance with and implement the land use and density policies of the General Plan and any applicable Specific Plan;
• Provide for efficient and cost-effective public facilities and services; • Allow for creative and experimental approaches to land development projects that incorporate design features that are more sensitive to site conditions; • Facilitate projects that provide greater amenities than would likely result from conventionally planned development; and
• Protect public health, safety, and general welfare without unduly inhibiting developers attempting to secure the advantages of modern large-scale site planning for residential, commercial, or industrial purposes.

2.2.2 Proposed Building Program
Approximately 10.39 acres of the proposed developed residential space would include 51 singlefamily residential units and associated improvements, including front and rear yards, front driveways, two-car garages, fencing, and landscaping. The residential component of the proposed project would have an overall density of 4.9 dwelling units per acre (du/ac).6 The proposed residential units would front new internal private roadways. The residences would consist of four different floor plans, with three elevations for each floor plan. The proposed buildings would be two stories and would not exceed 35 feet in height. A consistent architectural style is proposed for the buildings, which would consist of a modern farmhouse design. A conceptual design is shown on Figure 2-5.

2.2.3 Proposed Open Space and Landscaping
The proposed project would include 9.74 acres of undisturbed open space that would consist of two parcels: Parcel A would be an approximately 8.36-acre parcel and Parcel B is approximately

1.38 acres (refer to Figure 2-4). These areas would be fenced and have signage installed to prevent trespassing. The open space area would only be accessible via private gates to facilitate maintenance activities. Specifically, future development is not allowed on the two parcels, which would remain undeveloped open space.

The project site would also include 3.55 acres of common open space that would include one bioretention area, walkways, a loop walk around a flexible use turf area, and a vista overlook for residents. The proposed landscape design includes drought-tolerant and native landscaping to transition between the proposed residential area and adjacent open space. Landscaping would 6 51 units/10.395 acres.

Landscaping would also be arranged to screen views of I-780. Street trees would be planted in private yards and lighting would meet City Site Development Standards.7
A total of 69 trees would be removed, including 47 significant trees that are protected under the City’s tree protection ordinance.8 Trees would be replaced at a ratio of 3 new trees for every significant tree removed, for a total of 141 trees that would be planted. Figure 2-6 depicts the overall conceptual landscape plan.

2.2.4 Proposed Access, Circulation, and Parking
As shown on Figure 2-4, vehicular access to the project site would be provided by one full-access residential street through an established community to the west of the intersection of Shady Lane and Wildflower Avenue. The proposed project would include private internal residential streets that would be 28 feet wide curb to curb, with parking on one side as well as a 4.5-foot attached sidewalk.

The project would also include private alleys, which would be smaller in scale than the private residential streets and would include shared vehicular access to houses with garages fronting onto them. Private alleys would include a 33-foot public utility easement/planting easement and a 10- foot travel way in each direction, with no parking allowed. The proposed project would provide 102 covered garage spaces (2 per unit), 102 driveway stalls (2 per unit), 24 on-street stalls, and 1 mailbox parking stall, for a total of 229 parking spaces.

2.2.5 Utilities and Infrastructure
The project site is located in an urban area that is currently served by existing utilities, including water, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, electricity, gas, and telecommunications infrastructure. The infrastructure to be provided would be a combination of public and private systems. Existing and proposed utility connections are discussed below.

2.2.5.1 Water
Water service for the proposed project would be provided by the City of Vallejo. A new 8-inch water main line would connect to an existing 8-inch water main in Shady Lane at two locations, for a looped system. The water system would be designed and installed to City of Vallejo Water Department standards.

2.2.5.2 Wastewater
The Vallejo Flood and Wastewater District (VFWD) maintains existing sanitary sewer lines within the vicinity of the project site. A new 8-inch sewer lateral would connect to the existing 8-inch public sanitary sewer main line located in Shady Lane at the northwestern corner of the project site. The sanitary sewer would be designed and installed to VFWD standards. The project would also include 7 Vallejo, City of. n.d.-f.

The lift station would be owned and maintained by the VFWD.

2.2.5.3 Stormwater
Under existing conditions, the project site consists entirely of pervious surface area consisting primarily of grassland. There is no existing stormwater infrastructure on the project site; however, under existing conditions, the project site drains from west to east to Benicia State Park, where stormwater runoff converges and is directed to the Carquinez Strait.9 Upon construction of the proposed project, approximately 3.95 acres (19.6 percent) of the project site would be covered by impervious surfaces and approximately 16.18 acres (80.4 percent) would be covered by pervious surfaces, consisting of landscaped areas, undeveloped open space, and bioretention areas. The proposed project would include two detention basins and approximately 7,617 square feet of bioretention space, made up of two bioretention facilities located at the northwest corner of the site and the middle east border of the site that would collect drainage from the proposed on-site stormwater infrastructure and be used for stormwater control and treatment before discharging to an 18-inch storm drain pipe which outfalls to the existing marshland area adjacent to Benicia State Park. The storm drain system would be designed and installed to VFWD standards.

2.2.5.4 Electricity and Gas
Electricity and gas service is provided to the project site by Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E).

The proposed project would include connections to the existing electricity and natural gas lines that run adjacent to the project site along Shady Lane and Wildflower Avenue. Additionally, the proposed sewer lift station would be designed to have a standby diesel generator with an automatic transfer switch. The generator would be housed in a weatherproof enclosure and would provide backup power in case of an electrical outage.

2.2.6 Operations and Maintenance
Within the residential areas, the individual lots, open space, common open space areas, and water quality basin would be privately owned by a dedicated homeowners association (HOA). The streets that serve the residential lots would also be dedicated to the HOA for private ownership and maintenance. The other remaining 10 acres of open space would be privately owned, managed, and maintained by the HOA.

Utility infrastructure located within the private streets would be dedicated and maintained by the City/VFWD, while infrastructure within the private alleys/paseos would be owned and maintained by the HOA.

2.2.7 Grading and Construction
The proposed project would not require any demolition activities, as the site is currently undeveloped. It is anticipated that 58,700 cubic yards of soil would be cut and 59,300 cubic yards would be used for fill, resulting in a total soil import of 600 cubic yards. A total of 10.3 acres of soil would be disturbed during construction activities and excavation depths would reach up to 24 feet below the ground surface to accommodate foundations and utility infrastructure. Grading would be completed consistent with the City of Vallejo’s Hillside Development Standards.10 Cut and fill would be constructed with rounded corners to eliminate sharp angles of slopes at the contour intersections. Contour grading would also be utilized to create rounded, undulating slopes between street levels and building pads, and in transition areas from natural slopes to graded slopes. Slope gradients would vary, where feasible, to produce a more natural appearance. Construction of the proposed project is anticipated to begin in June 2026 and would occur over an approximately 1-year period.

2.3 PREVIOUS CEQA APPROVALS
The City of Vallejo General Plan 204011 was adopted by the City of Vallejo City Council on August 29, 2017, while the General Plan 2040 and Sonoma Boulevard Specific Plan Draft Environmental Impact Report (General Plan EIR) was certified on August 29, 2017 (SCH number 2014112035). The proposed project is consistent with the development density established by existing zoning and policies contained in the General Plan EIR.

This Initial Study has been prepared for the proposed project pursuant to the rules for supplemental environmental review under Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 21166 and State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. Section 15162 states that “no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines … one or more of the following:

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 significant effects;

2. Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken 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 been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or negative declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:

4.1.1 Prior Environmental Analysis
Chapter 4.1 of the General Plan EIR analyzed potential impacts to aesthetics with build out of the City’s General Plan, and determined that either no impact or less than significant impacts would occur due to existing regulatory requirements included in the Vallejo Municipal Code and General Plan policies and actions. No mitigation measures were prescribed. However, the General Plan includes the following goals, policies, and actions related to aesthetics which would be applicable to the proposed project:
• Policy NBE-1.5: Scenic Vistas: Protect and improve scenic vistas, including views from Interstate 80 and State Route 37 in Vallejo.
• Policy NBE-2.3: Inviting, Compatible Design: Promote attractive development that is compatible with surrounding uses.
○ Action NBE-2.3A: Continue to utilize development approval conditions to achieve compatibility between nearby uses and scale and style of buildings, and to establish limitations on activities that could create potential adverse effects. • Policy NBE-3.13: Neighborhood Character: Preserve the character of existing single-family residential neighborhoods.

• Policy NBE-3.14: Neighborhood Corridors: Connect the community with mixed use corridors that function as neighborhood main streets for adjacent residential areas.

4.1.2 Background
The project site is located at the northeast corner of Shady Lane and Wildflower Avenue in the southeastern portion of Vallejo in Solano County, California. The areas surrounding the project site consist of a mix of land uses, including residential, recreational, and public and semi-public uses.

Local access to the project site is provided by Shady Lane and Wildflower Avenue which border the site immediately to the southwest. Circulation in the surrounding area is provided by one-lane roadways.

4.1.2.1 Existing Visual Character of the Project Site
The project site consists of undulating hills and flat areas, with elevations ranging from approximately 70 feet above mean sea level (amsl) in low lying areas along the eastern portion of the project site up to approximately 290 feet amsl along the southwestern boundary of the project site. The southern portion of the site is generally lower in elevation and increases in elevation towards the west. The vacant project site is covered primarily with non-native annual grassland and scattered mature trees. There are 83 mature trees on the project site. The project site also includes one intermittent stream, connected to a seasonal wetland located in a low-lying area in the middle of the project site, and one linear freshwater marsh.12 Representative photos of the project site are shown in Figure 4.1-1.

Because the project site is vacant and undeveloped, there are no existing sources of light and glare on the project site. Existing sources of light and glare in the project vicinity are typical of residential areas and include vehicle headlights on nearby roadways, streetlights in the nearby vicinity, and residential exterior and interior lighting. Lighting from existing distant development within Vallejo also contributes to the background lighting in the project vicinity.

4.1.2.2 Visual Character of the Surrounding Area
The project area is characterized by urban development with some open space and recreational uses in the nearby vicinity. Representative photos of the surrounding area are shown in Figure 4.1-2.

The project site is bordered to the north by I-780 and vacant land that is zoned for Public and Semi Public uses. Farther north is a variety of public and semi public uses, including a California Highway Patrol Office and Saint Patrick Saint Vincent Catholic High School, and single- and multi-family residential uses. The project site is bordered immediately to the east by vacant, undeveloped land zoned for resource conservation and the Benicia State Park. Farther east are 12 WRA, Inc. 2024.

The project site is bordered immediately to the south by vacant undeveloped land owned by the City and zoned for parks, recreation and open space and resource conservation. Farther south are single-family residential uses and Glen Cove Elementary School, which is approximately 0.4 mile southwest of the project site. The project site is bordered immediately to the west by a 141-unit single-family residential subdivision. Farther west are commercial uses and single-family residential uses. Light-sensitive uses near the project site include the residential uses to the west.

According to the California Scenic Highway Mapping System, there are no California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) designated scenic highways in proximity to the project site. 13 There are no officially designated scenic vistas in Vallejo; however, the General Plan recognizes the waterfront, hillside and mountain areas, and natural areas surrounding the city as important scenic views in the city. These views include San Pablo Bay, Mare Island Strait, the Vallejo waterfront, Sulphur Springs Mountain, Vaca Mountains, White Slough, Napa River Wetlands, and Sky Valley. In order to preserve these scenic views, the City established residential view district zoning regulations for some residential neighborhoods located on the hills in Vallejo. Additionally, the Solano County General Plan recognizes “agricultural landscapes, the delta and marshlands, and the oak and grass covered hills” as valuable scenic vistas.

The project site is located approximately 0.85 mile northwest of the Carquinez Strait. The Carquinez Strait is partially visible to the southeast from the project site and surrounding areas. Undeveloped hillside and mountain areas are also visible to the northeast and south from the project site and surrounding areas. Additionally, the Benicia State Park is located approximately 0.3 mile southeast of the project site.

4.1.2.3 Views from the Project Site
Views from within the project site to surrounding areas are variable due to the topography and varying elevation at the project site. From some portions of the project site, views are largely obstructed due to existing off-site development, topography, and mature trees, while expansive views of the surrounding area are available from other portions of the project site with higher elevations.
• Views to the North: Foreground views to the north primarily consists of undeveloped vegetated areas, I-780, and the public and semi-public and residential uses north of I-780. Middle-ground views to the north primarily consist of surrounding hillsides that are partially undeveloped and partially developed with residential uses.
• Views to the East: Foreground views to the east primarily consist of undeveloped vegetated areas, the Benicia State Recreation Area, and I-780.

• Views to the South: Foreground views to the south primarily consist of undeveloped vegetated areas. Middle-ground views to the southeast include the Benicia State Recreation Area and the Carquinez Strait, while middle-ground views to the south/southwest include undeveloped vegetated hillside and residential development. Background views to the south include undeveloped hillsides south of the Carquinez Strait.
• Views to the West: Foreground views to the west primarily consist of undeveloped vegetated areas and residential development. Middle-ground and background views are not largely available to the west due to dense residential development and surrounding topography.

4.1.2.4 Views of the Project Site
As previously discussed, the project site is made up of undulating hills and flat areas covered primarily with non-native annual grassland and scattered mature trees. Therefore, views of the project site are consistent from each orientation due to the uniform nature of the site. Views of the project site from areas that do not immediately border the site are generally limited due to the developed nature of areas immediately surrounding the project site, including existing mature trees and the topography of the surrounding area.

There are no significant visual resources present on the project site and the project site is not located within the residential view district as defined by Chapter 16.213 of the Vallejo Municipal Code (VMC).
14 While the project site includes undeveloped hills, the project site is not largely visible from surrounding areas due to intervening topography, existing development, and mature trees.

Based on the General Plan the project site is not considered a scenic vista or important scenic view within the city.
15 4.1.3 Impact Analysis
a. Would the project have a substantial effect on a scenic vista? (Less than Significant Impact, No New Impact)
Development projects have the potential to impact scenic vistas in two ways: (1) a development could physically alter a designated scenic resource (e.g., disturb or develop upon a ridgeline, hillside, or other designated scenic resource), or (2) could block a view corridor or “vista” of the scenic resource from public view. Important factors in determining whether a project would block scenic vistas include the project’s proposed height, mass, and location relative to surrounding land uses and travel corridors. These potential effects are discussed below. 14 City of Vallejo. n.d. Zoning Map.

The area surrounding the project site is characterized by urban development with some open space and recreational uses in the nearby vicinity. The project site is located approximately 0.85 mile northwest of the Carquinez Strait. The Carquinez Strait is partially visible to the southeast from the project site and surrounding areas. Undeveloped hillside and mountain areas are visible to the northeast and south from the project site and surrounding areas. The Benicia State Recreation Area is located approximately 0.3 mile southeast of the project site. However, none of these features are identified as a scenic vista or significant visual resource in the City’s General Plan.

San Pablo Bay, Mare Island Strait, the Vallejo Waterfront, Sulphur Springs Mountain, Vaca Mountains, White Slough, Napa River Wetlands, and Sky Valley, the resources designated as scenic vistas, are not visible from the project site or nearby vicinity. These features are located over two miles from the project site and views of these resources are obstructed by intervening development, topography, and mature trees. The project site and surrounding areas are not located within the residential view district and would not impact scenic vistas of designated views; therefore, no impact would occur. No new impacts or substantially more severe significant impacts would result with implementation of the proposed project when compared to those analyzed in the General Plan EIR. Block Views of Scenic Resources. The proposed residential project at the northeast corner of Shady Lane and Wildflower Avenue lies within a well-established, lower-density residential neighborhood of southeastern Vallejo. Per the Vallejo General Plan, while the city does not identify official scenic view corridors, it recognizes valued vistas toward features like the hillsides, San Pablo Bay, the Napa River wetlands, and Sulphur Springs and Vaca Mountains However. The project site is shielded from such views by existing nearby housing, mature tree canopy, and naturally varied topography, meaning it is not largely visible from public vantage points tied to recognized scenic resources. The proposed two-story, modern farmhouse style homes, that would be approximately at 35 feet in height, match the prevailing scale and massing of residences to the west. While development of this previously vacant parcel would alter its current visual character, there are no high-quality scenic vistas presently visible from the site or immediate surroundings, and it does not block or degrade landscapes noted in the General Plan. Accordingly, the project would not result in a substantial adverse effect on views of scenic vistas, and no impact would occur. No new impacts or substantially more severe significant impacts would result with implementation of the proposed project when compared to those analyzed in the General Plan EIR. b. Would the project substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? (No impact, No New Impact)
There are no officially listed or eligible State Scenic Highways in the vicinity of the project site.16 The nearest eligible State Scenic Highway in Vallejo is a portion of State Route 37 (SR-37) that is located approximately 4.7 miles northwest of the project site. The nearest officially designated State highway is a portion of State Route 24 (SR-24) that is located approximately 13 miles south of the project site. Due to distance, topography, and intervening development, no portion of the project site or surrounding area is visible from the eligible portion of SR-37 or the officially designated portion of SR-24. Therefore, the proposed project would not substantially damage scenic resources, 16 California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). n.d. California Scenic Highway Mapping System.

The City of Vallejo General Plan 2040 designates the project site as Mix of Housing Types (R-MH) and Primarily Single Family (R-SF), as shown in Figure 2-3 in Section 2.0, Project Description. Permitted land uses within the R-MH and R-SF designation are similar and include single-family homes. In addition, the land use designations allow duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, smaller scale apartment buildings, and small commercial spaces; and public facilities such as schools, religious institutions, parks, and other community facilities appropriate within a residential neighborhood. The maximum permitted residential density in the R-MH designation is 25 dwelling units per acre, and the density in the R-SF designation is nine dwelling units per acre; however, in single-family areas where accessory dwelling units are allowed, the maximum permitted residential density is 12 dwelling units per acre.

The project site is zoned Residential Medium Density (RMD) and Residential Low Density (RLD). The RMD Zoning District allows a mix of housing types, including attached and detached structures, and small apartment buildings. Development in these zones is subject to density limits (up to 25 dwelling units per acre) and design and development standards to ensure land use compatibility. The district also allows mixed-use development with residential and small commercial spaces, a variety of neighborhood supportive services, public and educational facilities, open spaces and community facilities. In undeveloped areas of the city, it is the intent of this district to encourage the creation of multi-unit residential neighborhoods with a variety of housing types.

The RLD Zoning District applies to low-density residential areas in which permanent single unit residences, including detached and attached (duplexes and townhouses) units are the primary use.

This district also allows other residential types including cottages and bungalows around courts, small neighborhood serving retail, a variety of neighborhood supportive services, public and educational facilities, open spaces and community facilities. The maximum permitted residential density is nine dwelling units per acre, excluding accessory dwelling units.17 General Plan.

In single-family areas where accessory dwelling units are allowed, the maximum permitted residential density is 12 dwelling units per acre. The proposed project would develop approximately 10 acres of the project site with 51 residential units, resulting an overall density of 4.9 dwelling units per acre, which meets the residential density standard for both the R-MH and R-SF designations.The following General Plan policies and action statements related to aesthetics and scenic quality would apply to the proposed project:
• Policy NBE-2.3: Inviting, Compatible Design: Promote attractive development that is compatible with surrounding uses.
○ Action NBE-2.3A: Continue to utilize development approval conditions to achieve compatibility between nearby uses and scale and style of buildings, and to establish limitations on activities that could create potential adverse effects.

The proposed project proposes a consistent architectural style of a modern farmhouse design. The proposed project would be required to undergo Development Review and Design Review consistent with Sections 16.604 and 16.605 of the VMC, which would provide for the review of the physical improvements to the project site, to ensure compatibility and compliance with City requirements.

With the approval of a Development Permit, the proposed project would be consistent with the General Plan land use designation. Therefore, the proposed project would be consistent with the City’s General Plan as it relates to aesthetics and scenic quality, and this impact would be less than significant. No new impacts or substantially more severe significant impacts would result with implementation of the proposed project when compared to those analyzed in the General Plan EIR.

Zoning Code. Title 16 (Zoning Ordinance) of the VMC is the primary tool that shapes the form and character of physical development in Vallejo. The Zoning Ordinance contains all the Zoning Districts, and identifies land use standards, site development regulations, and other general provisions that ensure consistency between the General Plan and proposed development projects. The PD District is established to encourage the arrangement of a compatible variety of uses on suitable lands in such a manner that the resulting development will be in accord with the policies of the VMC Chapter

16.209 to provide flexibility by allowing diversification in regulations such as building relationships, setbacks, height limitations, lot sizes, types of structures, parking and the amount and location of open space18. As outlined in Chapter 16.209 of the VMC, the PD zone allows for one or more properties to be developed under a plan that would: Provide opportunities for coordinated development;
• Ensure substantial compliance with and implement the land use and density policies of the General Plan and any applicable Specific Plan;
• Provide for efficient and cost-effective public facilities and services; 18 City of Vallejo. Vallejo, California – Municipal Code, Title 16 – Zoning, Part II – Districts and Development Types, Chapter 16.209 – Planned Development District.

• Protect public health, safety, and general welfare without unduly inhibiting developers attempting to secure the advantages of modern large-scale site planning for residential, commercial, or industrial purposes.

The project site is 20.13 acres and, as discussed above, the proposed development would be consistent with the existing General Plan land use designations and would not exceed the allowable densities associated with the R-MH and R-SF designations. Minimum lot area, yard requirements, building heights, and other physical development standards would be as prescribed by the PD Plan, outlined in Chapter 3.0, Project Description. The proposed project would be consistent with the development regulations of the PD Zoning District. The project is subject to Development Review and Design Review as required by VMC Sections 16.604 and 16.605. These procedures are mandatory for new construction and ensure that all proposed physical improvements to the site— including building orientation, architectural design, grading, landscaping, and lighting—are evaluated for consistency with the City’s zoning regulations, design objectives, and adopted plans.

Pursuant to VMC Section 16.604.02, Design Review evaluates projects for compatibility with adjacent development in terms of scale, massing, materials, and overall visual character, as well as conformance with the City’s adopted design guidelines. Approval of the project through these processes is required prior to the issuance of any building permits. The proposed project must comply with all applicable standards and any conditions of approval imposed during the review process. As the proposed project would require building permits, a use permit, Landscape Review, and Tentative Map Approval, it would neither substantially degrade the visual character of the project site nor conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality. The proposed project would have a less than significant impact related to conflicts with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality. No new impacts or substantially more severe significant impacts would result with implementation of the proposed project when compared to those analyzed in the General Plan EIR.
d. Would the project create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? (Less than Significant Impact, No New Impact) Because the project site is vacant and undeveloped, there are no existing sources of light and glare on the project site. Existing sources of light and glare in the project vicinity are typical of residential areas and include vehicle headlights on nearby roadways, streetlights in the nearby vicinity, and residential exterior and interior lighting. Lighting from existing distant development within Vallejo also contributes to the background lighting in the project vicinity. Potential impacts to light and glare during construction and operation of the proposed project are discussed separately below.

Because any necessary night lighting resulting from construction activities would be minimal, would not spill onto adjacent properties, and would be temporary, it would not substantially impact sensitive uses, substantially alter the character of surrounding uses, or interfere with the performance of off-site activities. Construction activities associated with the proposed project would not introduce flat or highly reflective surfaces capable of producing significant solar glare. While limited glare may occur from sunlight reflecting off construction equipment and vehicle windshields, such effects would not result in adverse visibility impacts for the following reasons: (1) construction activity would involve a relatively small number of vehicles and equipment—estimated at no more than nine units during peak building phases—and (2) the construction site would be enclosed with fencing and temporary screening that would substantially limit public visibility from adjacent roadways and pedestrian areas. Furthermore, construction operations would be restricted to daytime hours, and no artificial lighting or vehicle activity would occur during nighttime periods that could contribute to glare or light spill. As such, construction of the proposed project would not introduce a new or substantial source of light or glare that would adversely affect daytime or nighttime views. Impacts related to construction-period light and glare would be less than significant. No new impacts or substantially more severe significant impacts would result with implementation of the proposed project when compared to those analyzed in the General Plan EIR.

Operation. Project lighting would be required to comply with Section 16.506 of the VMC, which requires that lighting be confined to the project site and that adjacent properties are protected from glare. The proposed project would include streetlights and exterior wall-mounted light fixtures on the residences that would be dark-sky compliant and aimed away from neighbors to avoid light trespass.19 All project lighting would be hooded or shielded to focus the light downward and prevent light spillage onto adjacent properties. All new lighting would comply with applicable regulations of the 2019 State Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24). Because the project site is vacant and undeveloped, there are no existing sources of light and glare on the project site. Existing sources of light and glare in the project vicinity are typical of residential areas and include vehicle headlights on nearby roadways, streetlights in the nearby vicinity, and residential exterior and interior lighting.

Lighting from existing distant development within Vallejo also contributes to the background lighting in the project vicinity. Therefore, sources of light and glare associated with the proposed project would be consistent with the existing surrounding uses during both daytime and nighttime hours.

The proposed building materials (e.g., stucco, stone or brick veneer, cementitious lap siding or panels, cementitious board and batten siding, wood, and glass) and uses of these materials are typical of those found in the surrounding areas and are not anticipated to create unusual or isolated glare effects that would affect daytime visibility or views in the project vicinity. The proposed structures would not include large or expansive areas of glass, polished metal, or other reflective surfaces and therefore, are not anticipated to collectively generate significant amounts of glare onto adjacent properties.

Overall, sources of light and glare associated with the proposed project would be consistent with the existing surrounding uses during both the daytime and nighttime hours. Furthermore, 19 Sancerra. 2024. Vista Cove Planned Development, Vallejo, California. May.

4.2 AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY RESOURCES
In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. In determining whether impacts to forest resources, including timberland, are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to information compiled by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection regarding the state’s inventory of forest land, including the Forest and Range Assessment Project and the Forest Legacy Assessment Project; and the forest carbon measurement methodology provided in Forest Protocols adopted by the California Air Resources Board.

4.2.1 Prior Environmental Analysis
The topic of agriculture and forestry resources was discussed in Chapter 6.0 of the General Plan EIR, which determined that no impact to agriculture or forestry resources with build out of the General Plan would occur because there are minimal farmland and forest land areas located within the city and future development would generally occur in previously urbanized areas that are not designated as farmland or forest land. No mitigation measures were prescribed. There are no General Plan goals, policies, or actions related to agriculture and forestry resources which would be applicable to the proposed project.

4.3.1 Prior Environmental Analysis
Chapter 4.2 of the General EIR analyzed potential impacts related to air quality. The General Plan EIR determined that implementation of the General Plan would reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) per population and VMT per service population and would not conflict with the control measures identified in the Bay Area Air District’s (Air District) 2010 Clean Air Plan22. In addition, the General Plan EIR found that build out of the General Plan would have the potential to exceed regional significance thresholds during construction and operation activities and prescribed Mitigation Measures AQ-2a, AQ-2b.1, and AQ-2b.2. General Plan EIR Mitigation Measures AQ-2a and AQ-2b.2 require a technical assessment evaluating potential operational and construction air quality impacts if a project exceeds the screening sizes in the Air District’s CEQA Guidelines, and General Plan EIR Mitigation Measure AQ-2b.1 requires compliance with the current Air District basic control measures for reducing construction-related fugitive dust emissions. However, the General Plan EIR found that construction and operational emissions would be significant and unavoidable.

In addition, the General Plan EIR concluded that implementation of the General Plan could expose sensitive receptors to substantial concentrations of air pollutants and, therefore, identified Mitigation Measures AQ-3a and AQ-3b to reduce these impacts. General Plan EIR Mitigation Measure AQ-3a requires preparation of a health risk assessment (HRA) for non-residential land uses that would generate 100 or more diesel truck trips per day or have 40 or more trucks with operating diesel-powered refrigeration units within 1,000 feet of a residential receptor. As such, General Plan EIR Mitigation Measure AQ-3b requires that residential and other sensitive land uses within 1,000 feet of a major source of toxic air contaminants (TACs) prepare an HRA.

The General Plan EIR found that even with implementation of these mitigation measures, impacts to sensitive receptors would be significant and unavoidable. In addition, the General Plan EIR determined that build out of the General Plan would not create objectionable odors that could affect a substantial number of people.

Additionally, the General Plan includes the following goals, policies, and actions related to air quality which would be applicable to the proposed project:
• Policy CP1.12: Clean Air: Protect the community from harmful levels of air pollution. ○ Action CP-1.12C: Provide information regarding advances in air-quality protection measures to schools, homeowners, and operators of “sensitive receptors” such as senior and child care facilities.
○ Action CP-1.12D: Periodically review and update City regulations to comply with changes in State law and Air District Guidelines pertaining to coal or wood-burning devices. ○ Action CP-1.12E: Periodically review the Building Code for consistency with the latest California Green Building Standards Code, and assess the need for updates to require new construction and remodels to employ best practices and materials to reduce emissions, both during and after construction.

4.3.2 Background
The project site is within the jurisdiction of the Air District, which regulates air quality in the San Francisco Bay Area. Air quality conditions in the San Francisco Bay Area have improved significantly since the Air District was created in 1955. Ambient concentrations of air pollutants and the number of days during which the region exceeds air quality standards have fallen substantially. In Vallejo, and the rest of the air basin, exceedances of air quality standards occur primarily during meteorological conditions conducive to high pollution levels, such as cold, windless winter nights or hot, sunny summer afternoons.

Within the Air District, ambient air quality standards for ozone, carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), particulate matter (particulate matter less than 10 microns in size [PM10], and particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in size [PM2.5]), and lead (Pb) have been set by both the State of California and the federal government. The State has also set standards for sulfate and visibility. The Air District is under State non-attainment status for ozone and particulate matter (both PM10 and PM2.5) standards. The Air District is classified as non-attainment for the federal ozone 8-hour standard and non-attainment for the federal PM2.5 24-hour standard.

4.3.3 Impact Analysis
a. Would the project conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? (Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated, No New Impact) The applicable air quality plan is the Air District’s 2017 Clean Air Plan (Clean Air Plan),23 which was adopted on April 19, 2017. The Clean Air Plan is a comprehensive plan to improve Bay Area air quality and protect public health. The Clean Air Plan defines control strategies to reduce emissions and ambient concentrations of air pollutants; safeguard public health by reducing exposure to air pollutants that pose the greatest health risk, with an emphasis on protecting the communities most heavily affected by air pollution; and reduce GHG emissions to protect the climate. Consistency with the Clean Air Plan can be determined if the project: (1) supports the goals of the Clean Air Plan; (2) includes applicable control measures from the Clean Air Plan; and (3) would not disrupt or hinder implementation of any control measures from the Clean Air Plan.

Clean Air Plan Goals. The primary goals of the 2017 Clean Air Plan are to attain air quality standards, reduce population exposure and protect public health in the Bay Area, and reduce GHG emissions and protect climate.

The Air District has established significance thresholds for project construction and operational impacts at a level at which the cumulative impact of exceeding these thresholds would have an adverse impact on the region’s attainment of air quality standards. The health and hazards thresholds were established to help protect public health.

As discussed below, implementation of the proposed project would result in less than significant operation-period emissions and, with implementation of General Plan EIR Mitigation Measure AQ-2b.1, as detailed under Criterion AIR-2, the project would result in less than significant construction-period emissions. Per General Plan EIR Mitigation Measure AQ-2b.1, the project must implement Basic Best Management Practices (BMPs) throughout all phases of construction.

Measures include watering exposed surfaces, covering haul trucks, limiting vehicle speeds on unpaved roads, using wet power sweepers, and suspending work during high winds. Additional requirements involve paving surfaces promptly, washing vehicles before site exit, stabilizing unpaved access roads, and posting contact information for dust complaints. Therefore, the project would not conflict with the Clean Air Plan goals.

In addition, the project site was identified as a housing opportunity site in the General Plan EIR. As discussed in Section2.0, Project Description, the General Plan designates the project site as R-MH and R-SF. The maximum permitted residential density in the R-MH designation is 25 dwelling units per acre and nine dwelling units per acre in the R-SF designation; however, in single-family areas where accessory dwelling units are allowed, maximum permitted residential density is 12 dwelling units per acre. To facilitate development of the project as proposed, the project site would be rezoned as PD and would result in 51 new residential units. As such, the proposed project would introduce fewer residential uses and a lower density than previously assumed in the General Plan 23 Bay Area Air Quality Management District (Air District). 2017.

Clean Air Plan Control Measures. The control strategies of the 2017 Clean Air Plan include measures in the following categories: Stationary Source Measures, Transportation Measures, Energy Measures, Building Measures, Agriculture Measures, Natural and Working Lands Measures, Waste Management Measures, Water Measures, and Super-GHG Pollutants Measures, which are discussed in more detail below.
• Stationary Source Control Measures:The Stationary Source Control Measures, which are designed to reduce emissions from stationary sources such as metal melting facilities, cement kilns, refineries, and glass furnaces, are incorporated into rules adopted by the Air District and then enforced by the Air District’s Permit and Inspection programs. Since the project would not include any stationary sources, the Stationary Source Control Measures of the Clean Air Plan are not applicable to the project.
• Transportation Control Measures:The Air District identifies Transportation Control Measures as part of the Clean Air Plan to decrease emissions of criteria pollutants, TACs, and GHGs by reducing demand for motor vehicle travel, promoting efficient vehicles and transit service, decarbonizing transportation fuels, and electrifying motor vehicles and equipment. The proposed project would result in the subdivision of the 20.13-acre site, of which approximately

10.39 acres would be developed, while the remaining acreage would be undeveloped and open space. The residential portion of the proposed project would include 51 residential lots, open space, and related infrastructure improvements. The project site is located within walking or bicycling distance from the surrounding residential, recreational, and public and semi-public uses. Additionally, the project site is served by SolTrans Routes 3 and 8, with the transit stops located approximately 0.5 mile to the west along Glen Cove Parkway. The Amtrak station in Vallejo is approximately 4 miles northwest of the project site, and the Vallejo Ferry Terminal, which offers ferry service between Vallejo and San Francisco, is approximately 3.5 miles northwest of the project site. Therefore, the project would support the ability of residents and visitors to use alternative modes of transportation. As such, the proposed project would not conflict with the Air District’s initiatives to increase the use of alternative means of transportation.
• Energy Control Measures:The Clean Air Plan also includes Energy Control Measures, which are designed to reduce emissions of criteria air pollutants, TACs, and GHGs by decreasing the amount of electricity consumed in the Bay Area, as well as by decreasing the carbon intensity of the electricity used by switching to less GHG-intensive fuel sources for electricity generation.

The proposed project would comply with current California Energy Code and California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen Code) standards regarding energy conservation and green building standards. As such, the proposed project would not conflict with the Energy Control Measures of the Clean Air Plan.

Therefore, the strategies in the control measures for this sector focus on working with local governments that do have authority over local building codes to facilitate the adoption of best GHG control practices and policies. As identified above, the proposed project would be required to comply with current Energy Code and CALGreen Code standards.

Therefore, the proposed project would not conflict with the Building Control Measures of the Clean Air Plan.
• Agriculture Control Measures:The Agriculture Control Measures are designed to primarily reduce emissions of CH4. Because the project does not include any agricultural activities, the Agriculture Control Measures of the Clean Air Plan are not applicable to the proposed project. • Natural and Working Lands Control Measures:The Natural and Working Lands Control Measures focus on increasing carbon sequestration on rangelands and wetlands, as well as encouraging local governments to enact ordinances that promote urban-tree plantings. Because the project does not include the disturbance of any rangelands or wetlands, the Natural and Working Lands Control Measures of the Clean Air Plan are not applicable to the proposed project.
• Waste Management Control Measures:The Waste Management Control Measures focus on reducing or capturing CH4 emissions from landfills and composting facilities, diverting organic materials away from landfills, and increasing waste diversion rates through efforts to reduce, reuse, and recycle. Future occupants of the project would be subject to compliance with local requirements for waste management (e.g., recycling and composting services). Therefore, the project would be consistent with the Waste Management Control Measures of the Clean Air Plan.
• Water Control Measures:The Water Control Measures focus on reducing emissions of criteria pollutants, TACs, and GHGs by encouraging water conservation, limiting GHG emissions from publicly owned treatment works (POTWs), and promoting the use of biogas recovery systems.

Because the proposed project would be required to comply with the latest CALGreen Code standards, which includes a variety of different measures, including reduction of wastewater and water use, the proposed project would not conflict with the Water Control Measures. • Super-GHG Control Measures:The Super-GHG Control Measures are designed to facilitate the adoption of best GHG control practices and policies through the Air District and local government agencies. Because these measures do not apply to individual projects, the SuperGHG Control Measures are not applicable to the proposed project.

Clean Air Plan Implementation. As discussed above, the proposed project would generally implement the applicable measures outlined in the Clean Air Plan, including Transportation Control Measures; therefore, the project would not disrupt or hinder implementation of a control measure from the Clean Air Plan, and this impact would be less than significant.

In addition, as demonstrated below, construction and operation of the proposed project would not result in the generation of criteria air pollutants that would exceed the Air District’s thresholds of significance. As discussed below, General Plan EIR Mitigation Measure AQ-2b.1 would be required

Measures include watering exposed surfaces, covering haul trucks, limiting vehicle speeds on unpaved roads, using wet power sweepers, and suspending work during high winds.

Additional requirements involve paving surfaces promptly, washing vehicles before site exit, stabilizing unpaved access roads, and posting contact information for dust complaints.

Implementation of General Plan EIR Mitigation Measure AQ-2b.1 would further ensure that the proposed project would not disrupt or hinder implementation of a control measure from the Clean Air Plan. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant, and no new impacts or substantially more severe significant impacts would result with implementation of the proposed project when compared to those analyzed in the General Plan EIR.
b. Would the project result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard? (Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated, No New Impact) The Air District is currently designated as a nonattainment area for State and federal ozone standards and federal particulate matter ambient air quality standards. The Air District’s nonattainment status is attributed to the region’s development history. Past, present, and future development projects contribute to the region’s adverse air quality impacts on a cumulative basis.

By its very nature, air pollution is largely a cumulative impact. No single project is sufficient in size to, by itself, result in nonattainment of ambient air quality standards. Instead, a project’s individual emissions contribute to existing cumulatively significant adverse air quality impacts. If a project’s contribution to the cumulative impact is considerable, then the project’s impact on air quality would be considered significant.

In developing thresholds of significance for air pollutants, the Air District considered the emissions levels for which a project’s individual emissions would be cumulatively considerable. If a project exceeds the identified significance thresholds, its emissions would be cumulatively considerable, resulting in significant adverse air quality impacts to the region’s existing air quality conditions. The following analysis assesses the potential construction- and operation-related air quality impacts and CO impacts of the proposed project.

Construction Emissions. During construction, short-term degradation of air quality may occur due to the release of particulate matter emissions (i.e., fugitive dust) generated by grading, hauling, and other activities. Emissions from construction equipment are also anticipated and would include CO, NOX (nitrogen oxides), ROGs (reactive organic gases), directly emitted particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), and TACs.

Site preparation and project construction would involve grading, paving, and other activities.

Construction-related effects on air quality from the proposed project would be greatest during the site preparation phase due to the disturbance of soils. If not properly controlled, these activities would temporarily generate particulate emissions. Sources of fugitive dust would include disturbed soils at the construction site. Unless properly controlled, vehicles leaving the site would deposit dirt and mud on local streets, which could be an additional source of airborne dust after it dries. PM10 emissions would vary from day to day, depending on the nature and magnitude of construction activity and local weather conditions. PM10 emissions would depend on soil moisture, silt content of
