• Compliance and Reporting: The RGA may include requirements for compliance with relevant regulations, reporting on proposal progress, and any necessary documentation and record-keeping.
• Dispute Resolution: In the event of any disputes or disagreements, the RGA may outline a mechanism for resolving issues between the Caltrans district and the local agency.

Matching Funds / In-Kind Contributions
The CCEP Grant Program is designed to reduce financial barriers for local agencies, nonprofits, and community-based organizations. As such, no cash match requirement is imposed on applicants. However, applicants are encouraged to identify and document in-kind contributions and other non-state resources that will help maximize the impact of state funds.

Eligible In-Kind Contributions may include:
• Staff time dedicated to project planning, implementation, or coordination. • Volunteer labor associated with cleanup events, outreach, or community engagement.
• Donated materials or equipment used directly in cleanup or beautification activities.
• Facilities and meeting space contributed for trainings, workforce activities, or project planning.
• Complementary programs or services provided by partner agencies or organizations that directly support grant objectives.

Program Expectations:
• In-kind contributions are not required to apply for or receive funding. • Applicants who provide in-kind support should quantify contributions where possible (e.g., estimated dollar value of staff time, equipment, or materials). • In-kind contributions will be considered during proposal evaluation as evidence of community commitment, partnership strength, and project sustainability. • Documentation of in-kind contributions should be included in the proposal budget narrative at the time of application and reported during proposal implementation.

• Advance Payments: No advance or upfront lump sum disbursements will be provided under this program.

Performance Metrics
To ensure accountability and evaluate success, all grantees are required to track and report on key performance metrics aligned with the program’s goals. These metrics will be tracked by grantees on templates provided by Caltrans to help measure the environmental, economic, and social impact of funded activities.

AGREEMENT FOR THE CHICK-FIL-A PROJECT TO EXTEND THE COMPLETION

DEADLINE FOR THE BROADWAY WATER MAIN EXTENSION AND UPDATE PERFORMANCE AND LABOR AND MATERIALS BOND PLANS AND COSTS;

APPROVING CONSTRUCTION PLANS FOR THE BROADWAY WATER MAIN EXTENSION (PHASES I, II, AND III) AND BACKBONE INFRASTRUCTURE; AND

ACCEPTING PHASES I AND II OF THE WATER MAIN EXTENSION AND

THE BACKBONE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS AS COMPLETE

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution approving an Amended and Restated Improvement Agreement for the Chick-Fil-A project to extend the completion deadline for the Broadway water main extension and update performance and labor and materials bond plans and costs; approving construction plans for the Broadway water main extension (Phases I, II, and III) and Backbone Infrastructure; and accepting Phases I and II of the water main extension and the Backbone Infrastructure improvements as complete.

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
LRG Investors JSR LLC (Developer), owner of the project known as Chick-fil-A at 5190 Sonoma Boulevard, seeks approval of an amendment and restatement of the original Improvement Agreement dated August 28, 2024. The amended agreement would extend the deadline for completing the Broadway Street water main extension work and update the plans and cost estimates associated with the Performance Bond and Labor & Materials Bond.

Public Works also requests that the City Council approve the project plans for the Broadway Water Main (Phases I, II, and III) and the Backbone Infrastructure for Chick-fil-A, and accept the public improvements for the Backbone Infrastructure and Broadway Water Main associated with Phases I and II as complete.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On November 13, 2023, the Planning Commission of the City of Vallejo adopted Resolution No. 23-010 approving the parcel map (“Map”) and other land use entitlements applicable to the Chick-Fil-A at 5190 Sonoma Blvd. Project, specifically a Major Use Permit (UP22-0005), Parcel Map (PM22-0005), Development Review (DVR22-0013), Design Review (DR22-0007), and Landscape Review (LR22-0003), subject to Conditions of Approval. The conditions included that the developer extend a 12” water main within Broadway Street to serve new parcels, B1 and B2.

The developer entered into an Improvement Agreement with the City on August 28, 2024, requiring completion of a 1,464-linear-foot water main extension along the full frontage of Parcels B1 and B2 within two years. The portion of the water main serving Parcel B1 has been completed, while the portion serving Parcel B2 remains partially incomplete.

The developer has requested additional time to complete construction of the southernmost segment of the

water main extension. City staff supports this request, which requires an amendment to the Improvement Agreement. Staff recommends granting a two-year extension to allow completion of the remaining work.

On May 13, 2025, the developer entered into a separate Improvement Agreement, requiring completion of 900 square feet of driveway approach, 290 linear feet of curb and gutter, 81 square feet of 3" valley gutter, 6,500 square feet of 2.5" depth asphalt concrete, 6,500 square feet of aggregate base, four ADA ramps, 230 linear feet of 12" storm drain line, one storm drain manhole, and six striping arrows in the City's right-of-way ("Backbone Infrastructure"). Developer has completed this work and staff requests that the Council accept this work as complete.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact on the General Fund. This project is funded solely by private development.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Chick-Fil-A development project (UP22-0005, DVR22-0013, DR22-0007) was determined to be categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 and 15315 (Class 3: “New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures”) because the project is less than 10,000 square feet in floor area, is located on a site zoned for the proposed use, and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment (Resolution PC23-010, approved on November 13, 2023).

II. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FINDING
Following a review of the project, staff has determined that it is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Under CEQA, the State has identified classes of projects which have been determined to not have a significant impact on the environment and are therefore exempt from the requirements of CEQA.

The project is exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Section 15303 (Class 3: “New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures”) because the project is less than 10,000 square feet in floor area and located on a site zoned for the proposed use and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment and, further, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15315 (Class 15: “Minor Land Divisions”) because the project is in an urbanized area zoned for commercial, use, the proposed subdivision is of four or fewer parcels and the division is in conformance with the General Plan and zoning, no variances or exceptions are required, all services and access to the proposed parcels are to local standards and are available, the parcel has not been involved in a division of a larger parcel within the previous two years, and the parcel does not have an average slope greater than 20 percent.

III. FINDINGS RELEVANT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAJOR USE PERMIT (VMC Section 16.606.03)
A. The proposed use is conditionally allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other applicable provisions of the Zoning Code and all other titles of the Vallejo Municipal Code.

The proposed project is located on a property zoned Central Corridor Commercial (CC).

Vallejo Municipal Code Table 16.301-A: Land Use Regulations, which requires a Major Use Permit for a restaurant with a drive-through. The project is consistent with the applicable development standards outlined in Title 16 of the Vallejo Municipal Code (VMC), as proposed and conditioned.

B. The proposed use is consistent with the general plan and any applicable specific plan or planned development and any other applicable plans.

The project site is designated as District – North Gateway (D-NG) on the General Plan Land Use Map. The General Plan 2040 D-NG designation is intended to foster an DocuSign Envelope ID: FBB7A74B-8DB2-4C8D-8220-FB1D787C93CD

integrated, pedestrian-oriented place with a mix of uses, such as retail, dining, entertainment, and lodging, that cater to both motorists passing through and surrounding neighborhoods. It also incorporates higher-density residential development that supports nearby services and activates the area. As proposed, the project is consistent with the DNG land use designation in that it incorporates a quick-service restaurant use that caters to both motorists passing through and residents of surrounding neighborhoods. The project is also consistent with applicable General Plan 2040 policies as noted in the report.

C. The subject parcel is physically suitable for the type of land use being proposed.

The proposed project is located on a vacant parcel and proposes construction of a new restaurant with three drive-through lanes with site improvements. The subject parcel is physically suitable for the establishment of a restaurant with a drive-through in that it allows ample room for the structures, required parking and landscaping. Conditions of approval have been added based upon the Transportation Impact Study to prevent queuing vehicles from conflicting with parking lot circulation or from spilling outside the parking lot.

D. The proposed use is compatible with existing and permissible land uses within the zoning district and the general area in which the proposed use is to be located which may include but not be limited to size, intensity, hours of operation, number of employees, or the nature of the operation.

The proposed project is compatible with existing and permissible land uses within the zoning district, will activate a vacant site with a new restaurant with three drive-through lanes. The restaurant proposes operations between the hours of 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., Monday-Saturday. Conditions of approval have been added to prevent queuing vehicles from conflicting with parking lot circulation or from spilling outside the parking lot.

E. The physical location or placement of the use on the site is compatible with and will not adversely affect the livability or appropriate development of abutting properties and the surrounding neighborhood.

The physical location of the proposed project on an underutilized vacant site will not adversely affect the livability or appropriate development of abutting properties and the surrounding neighborhood. Conditions of approval have been added to prevent queuing vehicles from conflicting with parking lot circulation or from spilling outside the parking lot.

F. The proposed use and related project features will not create any nuisances arising from the emission of odor, dust, gas, noise, vibration, smoke, heat or glare at a level exceeding ambient conditions and would not otherwise be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, or general welfare.

As proposed, the restaurant with three drive-through lanes will incorporate landscaping at a height of 36-inches to prevent headlight glare and direct visibility of vehicles from adjacent streets and parking lots. The proposed drive-through lanes will have adequate queuing space to prevent vehicle spillover from outside the parking lot to not interfere with the adjacent public rights-of-way or the circulation of the site. Conditions of approval have been added to prevent queuing vehicles from conflicting with parking lot circulation or from spilling outside the parking lot. As proposed and conditioned, the use will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, or general welfare.

G. The project has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, if applicable, and the requirements of this chapter.

DocuSign Envelope ID: FBB7A74B-8DB2-4C8D-8220-FB1D787C93CD

Following a review of the project, staff has determined that it is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

The proposed subdivision is consistent with the goals and policies of General Plan 2040 in that it will allow the development of a quick-service restaurant use that caters to both motorists passing through and residents of surrounding neighborhoods. The newly created parcels will continue to allow commercial development and will not change the current land use designations or zoning.

B. Conforms with this title and the zoning ordinance.

As described above, the proposed subdivision conforms with Chapter 15.14 (Parcel Maps) and VMC Table 16.204-A (Development Regulations: Commercial Districts) of the VMC based on Public Works and Planning Division review of Parcel Map compliance with VMC Sections 15.12030-15.12.050.

C. Conforms with the Subdivision Map Act.

DocuSign Envelope ID: FBB7A74B-8DB2-4C8D-8220-FB1D787C93CD

1. Establish regulations for an objective process that applies urban design principles to ensure that new construction supports the best of the city's architectural traditions.

As proposed, the project meets the objective design standards called out in VMC Chapter 16.204 – Commercial Districts, as discussed in detail below.

2. Encourage new structures that show creativity and imagination, add distinction, interest, and variety to the community, and are environmentally sustainable.

The building features modulation in the roof lines, wall articulation, and building materials that are aesthetically pleasing and compatible with other newer developments in the surrounding area. Additionally, the project will be designed to meet the California Building Code Title 24 (energy efficiency standards) and the Green Building Standards.

3. Promote architectural and design excellence in new construction and discourage poor quality development.

The proposed building will be comprised of a stucco finish with the coping, fascia and canopies made of metal. The building will be painted with a variety of Sherwin-Williams colors, including “Hardware”, “Urban Night” and “Rockwood Medium Brown’. The proposed metal coping and fascia will be finished in a “Midnight Bronze’ color. The project details, colors, materials, and landscaping are integrated with one and another that create a visually consistent proposal. Overall, the project uses high quality, longlasting material resulting in quality development.

4. Ensure that future development should:
a. Reflect the values of the community.
b. Enhance the surrounding environment.
c. Visually harmonize with its surroundings and not unnecessarily obstruct scenic views; and
d. Avoid nostalgic misrepresentations that may confuse the relationships among structures over time.

The project reflects the promotion of infill development that targets underutilized sites, which is a policy identified in the General Plan. The new project will enhance the surrounding environment by enhancing a city gateway and adding a new commercial business to serve local residents and visitors alike. Due to its location, the project will not obstruct scenic views and due to its nature and design, nor will it confuse the relationships among structures over time.

5. Ensure that decisions on housing development projects are based on objective design standards as required by the State Housing Accountability Act (Government Code Section 65589.5).

Not applicable; the proposed project is non-residential and therefore not subject to the State Housing Accountability Act.

6. Provide for new landscaping to create a visually pleasing setting for structures on the site.

A total of 39 new trees, shrubs and ground cover will be planted to enhance the public realm within the subject site. The new landscaping will create a visually pleasing settling for structures on the site.

7. Promote the protection and retention of landmark, native, and specimen trees and if feasible mature canopy trees and other significant landscaping of aesthetic and environmental value.

Not applicable; no existing mature trees are present at the location.

8. Ensure that the design, quality, and location of signs are consistent with the character and scale of the structures to which they are attached and are visually harmonious with surrounding development.

Not applicable; the applicant has requested signage be reviewed at a later date under a separate Zoning Compliance Review application.

9. Promote the conservation, enhancement, preservation, and protection of historic resources.

Not applicable; there are no historic resources near this project’s location.

D. Is in substantial compliance with any applicable adopted design guidelines.

The Project is not subject to any applicable adopted design guidelines, other than the general design guidelines below.

E. Will serve to achieve groupings of structures that are well related one to another and which, taken together, will result in a well-composed urban design, with consideration given to site, height, arrangement, texture, material, color and appurtenances, the relation of these factors to other structures in the immediate area, and the relation of the development to the total setting as seen from key points in the surrounding area; only elements of design which have some significant relationship to outside appearance shall be considered.

The proposed project consists of the establishment of a quick service restaurant with three drive-through lanes and site improvements, such as new landscaping, new trash enclosure and a mixture of metal siding and stacked CMU, will result in a well-composed urban design. The overall building height and massing is consistent with buildings in the immediate area. The new development will activate an underutilized, vacant site and will complement the existing uses in the immediate area.

F. Will be of a quality and demonstrates thoughtful site planning that will serve to protect the value of private and public investments in the area.

MAINTENANCE DISTRICTS AND SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE MATTER FOR JUNE 9, 2026 AT 7:00 P.M.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving the Engineer's Report and declaring the intention to levy and collect assessments for Fiscal Year 2026-27 within the Cimmaron Hills-Madigan, College Hills, Costa del Rio (Seaview), Somerset Highlands I/II, Greemont/Seaport Hills, Monica Place, Somerset Highlands III, Springtree-Fleming Hill, Summit II, Town & Country I, Woodridge, Hunter Ranch I/II, and Glen Cove I/II Landscape Maintenance Districts and setting a public hearing on this matter for June 9, 2026 at 7:00 p.m.

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The City Council directed SCI Consulting Group, Inc., to prepare an Engineer's Report containing fiscal information for each LMD regulated by the Improvement Act of 1911. The City Council is required to hold a public hearing to receive public comments regarding fiscal year 2026-2027 assessments within the following thirteen ad valorem Landscape Maintenance Districts formed pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911:

Cimarron Hills/Madigan; College Hills; Costa Del Rio (Seaview); Somerset Highlands I/II; Greenmont/Seaport Hills; Monica Place; Somerset Highlands III; Springtree/Fleming Hill; Summit II; Town & Country I; Woodridge; Hunter Ranch I/II; and Glen Cove I/II. The 1911 Act requires annual determination of each district's costs, and allocation of those costs by means of annual assessments to the parcels within each district.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The City of Vallejo has 27 Landscape Maintenance Districts (LMDs), thirteen of which were established in accordance with the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 (1972 Act), and fourteen of which were established in accordance with the Improvement Act of 1911 (1911 Act). These districts require annual determination of each district’s costs, and allocation of these costs by means of annual assessment to the dwelling units within each district. The City Council will be considering the Ridgecrest Landscape Maintenance District and the 1972 Act districts under separate Council actions.

Prior actions of the City Council established the 1911 Act LMDs and set a maximum annual assessment rate, as determined by the City. The formation of each LMD was approved by a majority of the affected parcel owners at the time of its establishment. The City has not exceeded the authorized maximum assessment rate for any LMD. LMDs formed pursuant to the 1911 Act are exempt from the procedural and approval requirements of Proposition 218 unless and until an increase beyond the authorized maximum assessment rate is proposed.

GLEN COVE I/II LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICTS AND SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE MATTER FOR JUNE 9, 2026 AT 7:00 P.M.

The attached Engineer's Report, prepared by SCI Consulting Group, Inc., describes the proposed assessments, which are based on the estimated cost to maintain the improvements within each district. The Engineer's Report also details each district’s landscape improvements, financial information, budget and boundaries. Assessments for the 1911 Act LMDs are determined by applying the established assessment rate to each $100.00 in assessed value of each parcel.

The assessments are collected by the County of Solano and forwarded to the City for deposit into specific fund accounts specific to each LMD. All assessments are expended on landscape maintenance, repair of damage due to vandalism or natural occurrence, site rehabilitation or improvements, water and utilities, and City administration and inspection costs.

The approved fiscal year 2025-26 and the proposed fiscal year 2026-27 assessment rates are as follows:

DISTRICT MAX RATE/$100 APPROVED FY 25-26

ASSESSMENT
PROPOSED FY 26-27

ASSESSMENT
Cimarron Hills - Madigan $1.50 $0.162 $0.055
College Hills $1.50 $0.100 $0.100
Costa Del Rio (Seaview) $4.00 $0.287 $0.287
Somerset Highlands I/II $1.25 $0.060 $0.022
Greenmont/Seaport Hills $1.25 $0.032 $0.032
Monica Place $1.25 $0.187 $0.187
Somerset Highlands III $1.50 $0.144 $0.070
Springtree/Fleming Hill $1.50 $0.195 $0.195
Summit II $1.50 $0.095 $0.030
Town & Country I $1.50 $0.150 $0.150
Woodridge $1.50 $0.071 $0.071
Hunter Ranch I/II $1.50 $0.100 $0.035
Glen Cove I/II $1.50 $0.190 $0.190
The assessment rates for all of the LMDs are proposed to remain the same as fiscal year 2025-2026, with the exception of Cimarron Hills- Madigan, Hunter Ranch I/II, Somerset I/II, Somerset Highlands III and Summit II.

The rehabilitation reserve funds for these LMDs are adequately funded, the rates for these LMD’s have been lowered to reduce the contribution to the rehabilitation reserve fund. The overall assessed value of a majority of the properties within the LMDs has increased by 4.44% since last year’s determination. The current assessed value for these properties is $1,403,705,937.

Rehabilitation projects will focus on areas such as:

• Improving landscape services
• Reducing water costs
• Street tree maintenance
• Additional rehabilitation of ornamental landscape and plant replacement • Reducing graffiti and other common area blight
• Extension of the grass cutting to provide a wider fire-defensive perimeter away from the residential structures
All of the costs associated with the above LMDs are paid by the assessments levied upon the parcels within those districts. The amount of funds projected to be assessed for these 1911 Act Districts in fiscal year 2026- 2027 is $1,122,974.46.

The fiscal year 2026-27 Engineer's Report for the 1911 Act LMDs is included as an attachment to this staff report and is also on file in the City Clerk’s Office (3rd floor) and in the Department of Public Works (4th Floor), City Hall, 555 Santa Clara Street, Vallejo, CA 94590.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact from this action on the General Fund.

Landscape District budgets are separate from the City’s General Fund. Landscape Maintenance District assessments finance the maintenance of the districts. The Public Works Department costs for labor and materials associated with the Landscape Maintenance Districts are charged to the individual district budgets.

All City costs associated with maintaining and administering the Districts are covered by the annual assessments.

The financial health of the previously identified districts has been described in the Engineer's Report. The fiscal year 2026-27 proposed assessments in the total amount of $1,122,974.46 are adequate to maintain the current minimal service levels and sustain the required operating reserves of the 1911 Act LMDs.

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 Guidelines section 15378.

City of Vallejo
Landscape Maintenance Districts
Overview Report, FY 2026-2027

Introduction
Overview
The City of Vallejo (the “City”) annually levies and collects special assessments in order to provide and maintain the improvements within the fourteen (14) separate landscape maintenance districts (“District” or “Districts”). The Districts have been formed between the years 1977 and 1981 pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911, Part 3 of Division 7 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “1911 Act”). The Districts are as follows:
 Cimarron Hills/Madigan Ranch
 College Hills
 Seaview (Costa del Rio)
 Glen Cove I/II
 Greenmont-Seaport Hills
 Hunter Ranch I/II
 Monica Place
 Ridegecrest
 Somerset I/II
 Somerset III
 Springtree
 Summit II
 Town & Country I
 Woodridge
This Overview Report (the “Report”) describes the Districts, any changes to the Districts, and the proposed assessments for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. The proposed assessments are based on the estimated cost to maintain the improvements within each District. The Report also details each District’s landscaped improvements, financial information, budget and boundaries.

The Report contains a section for recommendations and analysis based on the financial information presented for each District.

The various improvements provided and assessed within each District may include local street lighting, local landscaping improvements and special services. All local landscaping improvements maintained by the Districts and associated with each District were either installed as a condition of development for properties within the District or were installed for the benefit of the properties within the Districts. The landscaping improvements associated with each District may include parkways, perimeters, entryways, medians, slopes, retention and detention basin areas, internal landscaped amenities, neighborhood parks, open space areas and other easements and public right-of-ways within the Districts.

Overview Report, FY 2026-2027

Improvements within each District may also include turf, ground cover, shrubs and trees, irrigation systems, lighting, water features, entry monuments, drainage systems and associated appurtenances. Special services provided include tree trimming, graffiti removal, weed abatement and landscape maintenance of flood control areas, operations, administration and all services and maintenance required to keep the improvements in a healthy, vigorous, and satisfactory condition.

Similar to landscape improvements, street lighting improvements funded through District assessments were installed for the benefit of properties within each of the Districts. The assessments in each District provide for the maintenance, operation and energy costs related to their specific street light improvements.

Assessment Process
This Report was prepared to establish the budgets for the continued maintenance and services expenditures that would be funded by the proposed 2026-2027 assessments. This Report and the proposed assessments have been made pursuant to the provisions of the 1911 Act.

In each subsequent year for which the assessments will be continued, the City must determine the budgets and costs for the upcoming year and allocate these costs to parcels within each District. This Report includes this information. After the Report is completed, the Council may approve the proposed assessments and establish the date for a public hearing on the continuation of the assessments. If the Council approves the proposed assessments by resolution, a notice of public hearing must be published in a local paper.

Following the minimum 10-day time period after publishing the notice, a public hearing is held for the purpose of allowing public testimony about the proposed continuation of the assessments.

This hearing is currently scheduled for June 9, 2026. At this hearing, the Council would consider approval of a resolution ordering the levy of assessments for fiscal year 2026-2027. If so confirmed and approved, the assessments would be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller for inclusion on the property tax rolls for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.

Overview Report
Beginning in 2011-12, SCI Consulting Group became the Assessment Engineer for these Assessments. To maintain an accurate reference and legally defensible record of the Assessments, pertinent language used in the previous Overview Reports has been retained herein, and the fundamental methodology has been maintained, essentially verbatim. (In most cases, language taken from the previous Overview Report is shown in Times New Roman, 10 pt.

Legal Requirements
All assessments described in this Report and approved by the City Council are prepared in accordance with the 1911 Act and are in compliance with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID (Proposition 218).

The 1911 Act provides that assessments be determined by applying the established assessment rate to each one hundred dollars of assessed value of each parcel.

On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218, which subsequently became a California Constitutional Amendment (Articles XIIIC and XIIID). Proposition 218 established additional requirements with respect to taxes, fees and assessments levied by California agencies. All new and existing assessments (with some exceptions) are required to comply with the substantive and procedural requirements of Article XIIIC & XIIID.

Pursuant to the California Constitution Article XIIID Section 5, certain existing assessments are exempt from the substantive and procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4 and property owner balloting for the assessments is not required until such time that the assessments are increased. Specifically, the City determined that all improvements and the annual assessments originally established for the District were part of the conditions of property development and approved by the original property owner (developer). As such, pursuant to Article XIIID Section 5(b), all the property owners approved the existing District assessments at the time the assessments were created (originally imposed pursuant to a 100% landowner petition). Therefore, the existing assessment amount (the maximum assessment rate for each District identified in this Report) is exempt from the procedural requirements Article XIIID Section 4.

The current maximum assessment rates per each one hundred dollars of assessed value of each parcel were originally approved by the property owners. Accordingly, any assessment amount equal to or below the maximum amount is considered an exempt assessment pursuant to Article XIIID Section 5(b). The annual assessments for this fiscal year 2026-2027 are significantly less than the maximum assessment allowed. The proposed assessment for any fiscal year may be increased over the previous fiscal year provided the assessment rate does not exceed the maximum assessment rate for each District. Any proposed new or increased assessment that exceeds the current maximum assessment shall comply with all provisions of Article XIIID Section 4 including a property owner protest proceeding (property owner assessment balloting).

Method of Apportionment
Method of Apportionment
Assessments for the 1911 Act landscape maintenance districts of the City of Vallejo are determined by applying the established assessment rate to each one hundred dollars ($100) of assessed value of each parcel.

The word “parcel” refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessor Parcel Number by the Solano County Assessor’s Office. The Solano County Auditor/Controller uses Assessor Parcel Numbers and specific Fund Numbers to identify assessed properties on the tax roll. The annual assessments outlined in this Report are proposed to cover the estimated costs to provide all necessary service, operation, administration, and maintenance required each year to keep these improvements in a healthy, vigorous, and satisfactory condition.

Discussion of Benefit
In summary, the assessments can only be levied based on the special benefit to property. This benefit is received by property over and above any general benefits.

Proposition 218, which added Article XIIID of the California Constitution, provides as follows:
"No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel." Benefit categories have been established that represent the types of special benefit to residential, commercial, industrial and other lots and parcels resulting from the installation, maintenance and servicing lighting and landscaping improvements to be provided with the assessment proceeds.

These categories of special benefit are summarized as follows:

A. Proximity to Improved Landscaped Areas and Other Public Improvements within the Assessment Districts.

B. Access to Improved landscaped areas and Other Public Improvements within the Assessment Districts.

C. Improved Views within the Assessment Districts.

D. Extension of a property’s outdoor areas and green spaces for properties within close proximity to the Improvements.

E. Creation of individual lots for residential and commercial use that, in absence of the assessments, would not have been created.

City of Vallejo
Landscape Maintenance Districts
Overview Report, FY 2026-2027

Case law interpreting Proposition 218 provides enhanced clarity to the definitions of special benefits to properties in three distinct areas:
 Proximity
 Expanded or improved access
 Views
This case law also clarifies that a special benefit is a service or improvement that provides a direct advantage to a parcel and that indirect or derivative advantages resulting from the overall public benefits from a service or improvement are general benefits. The case law also provides specific guidance that park improvements are a direct advantage and special benefit to property that is proximate to a park that is improved by an assessment:
the characterization of a benefit may depend on whether the parcel receives a direct advantage from the improvement (e.g. proximity to a park) or receives an indirect, derivative advantage resulting from the overall public benefits of the improvement (e.g. general enhancement of the district’s property values).

Proximity, improved access and views, in addition to the other special benefits listed above further strengthen the basis of these assessments.

General versus Special Benefit
In absence of the assessments, the Improvements in the Districts would not be provided, so the Improvements are “over and above” what otherwise would be provided. Many of the parcels would not even exist if the assessments were not established because an assessment for the specific Improvements within the Districts was a condition of development approval.

All of the Assessment proceeds derived from the Districts will be utilized to fund the cost of providing a level of tangible “special benefits” in the form of landscaped parkways, landscaped medians, landscaped corridors, open space areas and other Improvements and costs incidental to providing the Improvements and collecting the Assessments.

Although these Improvements may be available to the general public at large, the permanent public Improvements in the Districts were specifically designed, located and created to provide additional and improved public resources for the direct advantage of property inside the Districts, and not the public at large. Other properties that are either outside the Districts or within the Districts and not assessed, do not enjoy the unique proximity, access, views and other special benefit factors described previously. Moreover, the homes in the Districts would not have been built if the Assessments were not established because an assessment for the Improvements was a condition of development approval.

Overview Report, FY 2026-2027

Benefit Finding
In summary, real property located within the boundaries of the Districts distinctly and directly benefits from closer proximity, access and views of Improvements funded by the Assessments, the creation of developable parcels and from the extension of usable land area provided by the assessments. The Improvements are specifically designed to serve properties in the Districts, not other properties or the public at large. The Districts have been narrowly drawn to include those parcels that receive a direct advantage from the Improvements. The public at large and other properties outside the Districtsreceive only limited benefits from the Improvements because they do not have proximity, good access or views of the Improvements. These are special benefits to property in the Districts in much the same way that sewer and water facilities, sidewalks and paved streets enhance the utility and desirability of property and make them more functional to use, safer and easier to access.

Without the Assessments, the public improvements within the Districts would not be maintained and would turn into brown, unmaintained and unusable public improvements and public lands.

If this happened, it would create a significant and material negative impact on the desirability, utility and value of property in the Districts. Most importantly, without the Assessments, the developed properties would not exist, because the subdivisions and development proposals would not have been approved. The Improvements are, therefore, clearly above what otherwise would be provided and the Improvements uniquely and specially benefit parcels in the Districts in a way that is not enjoyed by the general public or other property. We therefore conclude that all the Improvements funded by the Assessment are of special benefit to the identified benefiting properties located within the Districts and that the value of the special benefits from such Improvements to property in the Districts reasonably exceeds the cost of the Assessments for every assessed parcel in the Districts. (In other words, as required by Proposition 218; the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on each parcel reasonably exceeds the cost of the assessments.) Any general benefits to surrounding properties outside of the Districts, if there were any, are collateral and conferred concomitantly.

The original determination of benefits to property and the method of special benefit apportionment to property were developed by Willdan Financial Services when the Districts were originally approved by property owners as noted in the Description of Districts section of this Report. The description of benefits and the determination and apportionment of benefits to property in this Report are consistent with the original benefit determination and apportionment.

The original method of apportionment of assessment and other relevant elements of the original Reports for the Districts are hereby incorporated by reference.

Quantification of General Benefit
Although the analysis used to support these assessments concludes that the benefits are solely special, as described above, consideration is made for the suggestion that a portion of the benefits are general. General benefits cannot be funded by these assessments - the funding must come from other sources.

The maintenance and servicing of these improvements is also partially funded, directly and indirectly from other sources including the City of Vallejo, Solano County and the State of California. This funding comes in the form of grants, development fees, special programs, and general funds, as well as direct maintenance and servicing of facilities (e.g. curbs, gutters and streets, etc.) This funding from other sources more than compensates for general benefits, if any, received by the properties within the assessments district.

The General Benefits from these Assessments may be quantified as illustrated in the following table.

Benefit Factor
Relative
Weight
General Benefit
Contribution
Relative General
Benefit
Creation of parcels 90 0% 0
Proximity and access to open space and landscape areas 5 10% 0.5 Improved views 5 10% 0.5
100 1
Total Calculated General Benefit = 1.0%
As a result, City of Vallejo will contribute at least 1% of the total budget from sources other than the assessment. This contribution offsets any general benefits from the assessment services.

This general benefit contribution is the sum of the following components:

The City of Vallejo owns, maintains, rehabilitates and replaces curb and gutter along the border of the Districts improvements. This curb and gutter serves to support, contain, retain, manage irrigation flow and growth, and provide a boundary for the improvements. The contribution from the City of Vallejo towards general benefit from the maintenance, rehabilitation and replacement of the curb and gutter is conservatively estimated to be 1%.

The City of Vallejo owns and maintains local public streets along the border of the Districts improvements. These public streets provide access to the improvements for its enjoyment as well as efficient maintenance. The contribution from the City of Vallejo towards general benefit from the maintenance of local public streets is conservatively estimated to be 1%.

Overview Report, FY 2026-2027

The value of the construction of the improvements can be quantified and monetized as an annuity. Since this construction was performed and paid for by non-assessment funds, this “annuity” can be used to offset general benefit costs, and is conservatively estimated to contribute 25%.

Therefore, the total General Benefit is conservatively quantified at 1.0% which is more than offset by the total non-assessment contribution towards general benefit of 27%.

Budget Definitions
The following provides a summary of the services and costs that are included in the District Budgets:

Direct Costs:

Contract Maintenance Costs — Includes all contracted labor, material and equipment required to properly maintain the landscaping, irrigation systems, drainage systems, fencing, and entry monuments within the District. All improvements within the District are maintained and serviced on a regular basis.

Salaries & Benefits — Staff time devoted to managing and inspecting Districts. The Public Works LMD reimbursement is proportionally spread amongst twenty-seven (27) Districts based on each District’s budgeted direct and maintenance expense, inspections as a percentage of total costs in these categories for all Districts. Inspection costs are budgeted directly to the District as Field Inspection based on the historical and projected time spent in the inspection efforts.

Services & Supplies - Vehicles, supplies and services devoted to managing and inspecting Districts.

Landscape Water — Utility costs for water required to irrigate landscaped areas.

Utilities — Includes the cost of the furnishing of electricity required for the irrigation systems and hardwire telephone connections at upgraded irrigation controllers, monitored by City Staff.

Landscape Rehabilitation & Vandalism — Landscape projects, which significantly benefit and upgrade a specific Landscape Maintenance District. These costs reflect only a proportional share of the entire cost of the project and are noted because the amount of design, planning, coordination and execution. This budget item represents a cost to the individual Landscape Maintenance District, which is representative and has been identified by the city as above normal routine landscape maintenance inspection.

Vandalism includes repairs and rehabilitation that are generally unforeseen and not normally included in the yearly maintenance contract costs. This may include repair of damaged amenities due to vandalism, storms, frost, etc. These upgrades could include replacing plant materials and/or renovation of irrigation or lighting systems.

Capital Projects – This item includes major repairs or capital improvement projects.

Overview Report, FY 2026-2027

Administration Costs:

Administration & Overhead — The cost allocation of all particular departments and staff of the City, for providing general support, services and operations related to the various districts, enterprises and accounts of the City.

County Administration Fee — This is the estimated cost to the District for the County to collect District assessments on the property tax bills. This charge is based on a flat rate per fund number plus a charge per assessment levied.

Professional Services — This is the estimated cost to the District for the Assessment Engineer to prepare this report and to calculate and submit the assessments to the Solano County Auditor’s office.

Levy Breakdown:

Operating Reserve Collection/(Transfer) — This budget item is provided to illustrate collection by the District of funds to operate the District from the time period of July 1 (beginning of the Fiscal Year) through January or when the County provides the City with the first installment of assessments collected from the property tax bills. Transfer amounts (Negative amounts) shown for this budget item represent transfers from the reserve fund that reduces the Balance to Levy.

Maintaining an adequately funded reserve fund eliminates the need for the City to transfer funds from non-District accounts to pay for operational expenses during the first half of the fiscal year and also provides the District with sufficient funds to address any unforeseen or unusual expenditures that may occur during the year.

Rehabilitation Fund Collection/(Transfer) — This budget item is provided to illustrate collection by the District of funds to cover costs of repairs, landscape maintenance that may be unforeseen and are not normally included in the yearly maintenance contract costs or for planned capital improvement projects. These amounts are held in or paid from the refurbishment/rehabilitation fund. Negative amounts shown for this budget item are transfers from the refurbishment/rehabilitation fund to be used to reduce the Balance to Levy. Transfer amounts (Negative amounts) will only occur after the planned projects have been completed and excess funds are being credited back to the District’s regular accounts. The refurbishment/rehabilitation fund eliminates the need for the City to transfer funds from non-District accounts. The Rehabilitation fund can be utilized to cover operating costs should the revenue and reserve fund be insufficient.

Other Revenue Source — This item includes additional funds designated for the District that are not annual assessments. These funds are applied to reduce assessments, and may be from nonDistrict or District sources including City General Fund Contributions and/or interest earnings. Any funds indicated on this line will be shown as a negative number indicating a reduction in the amount to be levied and represent funds that do not have to be repaid.

Landscape Maintenance Districts
Overview Report, FY 2026-2027

Balance to Levy — This is the total amount to be collected for the current fiscal year through assessments. The Balance to Levy represents the sum of Total Direct and Administration Costs, Reserve collections or transfers, Rehabilitation collections or transfers, contributions from other sources and contribution repayments. Only those costs related to the improvements identified as special benefits are levied and collected on the tax roll.

Districts Statistics:

Total Parcels Levied — The total number of parcels levied within the District boundary.

Anticipated Total Assessed Values/$100 — The sum of all the assessed values of all parcels within the District as established by the Solano County Assessor’s Office divided by $100.

Rate per $100 of AV — The established assessment rate to each one hundred dollars ($100) of assessed value of each parcel.

Minimum Cost Recovery Rate per $100 of AV— The estimated assessment rate to each one hundred dollars ($100) of assessed value of each parcel to recover sufficient revenue for the District Direct, Administration and Rehabilitation costs.

Fund Balance Information:

Beginning Operating Reserve Fund Balance — The projected reserve fund balance as provided by the City of Vallejo.

Operating Reserve Fund Adjustments — Positive amounts shown for this budget item represent additions to the reserve fund from levy revenue exceeding the total of all Direct, District Administration and Rehabilitation Costs. Surplus levy revenue is allocated to the reserve fund until the balance is equivalent to six months of levy revenue. The reserve fund negative amounts shown for this budget item represent transfers from the reserve fund to be used to reduce the Balance to Levy as a result of total Direct and District Administration Costs exceeding total levy revenue.

Additionally, negative amounts shown for this budget item may represent a reduction of the reserve fund balance in excess of six months of levy revenue; excess balances may be used to increase the refurbishment/rehabilitation fund.

Anticipated Operating Reserve Balance — The projected ending balance in the reserve fund as based on activity provided by the City of Vallejo. A negative Operating Reserve Fund balance represents cumulative contributions from the General Fund.

As noted above there are rehabilitation projects pending that the rehabilitation reserve fund is currently not adequate to fund. The assessment was increased fiscal year 2017- 2018 in order to accumulate enough funds to complete these projects in the future. The proposed assessment is below the maximum rate and is considered an exempt assessment pursuant to Californian Constitution Article XIIID Section 5(b).

The amounts identified as “Landscape Rehabilitation” or “Capital Projects” may be budgeted and spent each fiscal year as shown, or collected and held for the future in the Rehabilitation Fund.

The program can also draw from the Operating Reserve Fund as necessary if funds are in excess of six months of levy revenue. Replacement, rehabilitation or refurbishment of the improvements is an essential part of maintenance, but these projects and expenses will often impact the longterm financial stability of the District. Prior to the implementation of any rehabilitation plan, the City should closely evaluate the merits of the project.

CONSENT CALENDAR 8.H.

DATE: May 26, 2026
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Leonard Job, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE ENGINEER'S REPORT AND DECLARING THE INTENTION TO LEVY AND COLLECT ASSESSMENTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026- 2027 WITHIN THE RIDGECREST LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT AND SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE MATTER FOR JUNE 9, 2026 AT 7:00 P.M.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving the Engineer's Report and declaring the intention to levy and collect assessments for Fiscal Year 2026-27 within the Ridgecrest Landscape Maintenance District and setting a public hearing on this matter for June 9, 2026 at 7:00 p.m.

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The City Council directed SCI Consulting Group, Inc. to prepare an Engineer's Report containing fiscal information for the Ridgecrest Landscape Maintenance District (District) regulated by the Improvement Act of 1911. The City Council is required to hold a public hearing to receive public comments regarding fiscal year 2026-2027 assessments. The 1911 Act requires annual determination of the District’s costs, and allocation of those costs by means of annual assessments to the parcels within the district.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The City of Vallejo has 27 Landscape Maintenance Districts (LMDs), thirteen of which were established in accordance with the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 (1972 Act), and fourteen of which were established in accordance with the Improvement Act of 1911 (1911 Act). These districts require annual determination of each district’s costs, and allocation of these costs by means of annual assessment to the dwelling units within each district. The City Council will be considering the remaining 1911 Act districts and the 1972 Act districts under separate Council actions.

Prior actions of the City Council established the 1911 Act LMDs and set a maximum annual assessment rate, as determined by the City. The formation of each LMD was approved by a majority of the affected parcel owners at the time of its establishment. The City has not exceeded the authorized maximum assessment rate for any LMD. LMDs formed pursuant to the 1911 Act are exempt from the procedural and approval requirements of Proposition 218 unless and until an increase beyond the authorized maximum assessment rate is proposed.

The attached Engineer's Report, prepared by SCI Consulting Group, Inc., describes the proposed assessments, which are based on the estimated cost to maintain the improvements within the District. The Report also details the District’s landscape improvements, financial information, budget and boundaries.

Assessments for the District are determined by applying the established assessment rate to each $100.00 in assessed value of each parcel.

The assessments are collected by the County of Solano and forwarded to the City for deposit into a specific fund account for the District. All assessments are expended on landscape maintenance, repair of damage due to vandalism or natural occurrence, site rehabilitation or improvements, water and utilities, and City

THE INTENTION TO LEVY AND COLLECT ASSESSMENTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026- 2027 WITHIN THE RIDGECREST LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT AND SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE MATTER FOR JUNE 9, 2026 AT 7:00 P.M.

administration and inspection costs.

The proposed annual assessment rate for fiscal year 2026-27 is $0.115 per $100 of assessed valuation; the maximum assessment rate is $1.50. The assessment rate proposed is the same assessment rate levied for fiscal year 2025-2026. The assessed value of the properties within the District has increased by 5.60% since last year’s determination.

Rehabilitation projects will focus on areas such as:
• Improving landscape services
• Reducing water costs
• Street tree maintenance
• Additional rehabilitation of ornamental landscape and plant replacement. • Reducing graffiti and other common area blight
• Extension of the grass cutting to provide a wider fire-defensive perimeter away from the residential structures
All of the costs associated with the District are paid by the assessments levied upon the parcels within the District. The total assessment levy for the District in fiscal year 2026-2027 will be $74,550.67.

The fiscal year 2026-27 Engineer's Report for the 1911 Act LMDs is included as an attachment to this staff report and is also on file in the City Clerk’s Office (3rd floor) and in the Department of Public Works (4th Floor), City Hall, 555 Santa Clara Street, Vallejo, CA 94590.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact from this action on the General Fund.

Landscape District budgets are separate from the City’s General Fund. Landscape Maintenance District assessments finance the maintenance of the districts. The Public Works Department costs for labor and materials associated with the Landscape Maintenance Districts are charged to the individual district budgets.

All City costs associated with maintaining and administering the Districts are covered by the annual assessments.

The financial health of the District has been described in the Engineer's Report. The fiscal year 2026-27 proposed assessments are adequate to maintain the current minimal service levels and sustain the required operating reserves of the 1911 Act LMD.

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 Guidelines section 15378.
