Date: October 13, 2026
Subject: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE FY 26-27 BUDGET AND AUTHORIZING AN APPROPRIATION OF UP TO $375,000 OF MEASURE P FUNDS TO FUND CAPITOL ADVOCACY PARTNERS, LLC FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026/2027 AND 2027/2028 FOR THE VALLEJO POLICE DEPARTMENT (STEP 2 OF 2)
Following that presentation on September 22, 2026, the City Council provided Notice of Intent to amend the FY 26/27 Budget for funding of the Capitol Advocacy Partners (CAP) contract for up to $375,000 using Measure P funds for Fiscal Years 2026/2027 and 2027/2028.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this recommendation will result in a cost-neutral restructuring of funding lines by shifting the non-grant contract balance from the Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (SLESF) to Measure P allocations. Measure P will absorb grant administrative overhead expenditures that exceed the strict
0.5% statutory cap governing SLESF.
The total fiscal impact is an appropriation of up to $375,000 from existing, eligible Measure P public safety revenues to cover the remaining two-year contract obligation through its 2028 expiration deadline.
This administrative adjustment does not require General Fund appropriations and successfully preserves a vital legislative and grant acquisition pipeline that has already returned over $11,500,000 in external funding to the City.
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.

No payments shall be made to Consultant until such business license(s) has been obtained.
11. Standard of Performance. Consultant shall provide products and perform all services required pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with generally accepted professional practices and principles and in a manner consistent with the level of care and skill ordinarily exercised under similar conditions by a member of Consultant’s profession currently practicing in California.

12. Force Majeure. Neither party shall be considered in default of this Agreement to the extent performances are prevented or delayed by causes or circumstances beyond either party’s reasonable control, such as war, riots, strikes, lockouts, work slowdown or stoppage, acts of God, such as floods or earthquakes, and electrical blackouts or brownouts.

Nor shall Consultant allow any of its subcontractors, agents, or other representatives to employ CalPERS members or annuitants for the purpose of performing work under this Agreement. Failure to comply with the provisions of this section shall constitute a material breach of Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement and shall be grounds for termination.
The City Manager and the Human Resources Director may together approve an exception which they determine either: (i) meets the requirements of CalPERS relating to Independent Contractors; or (ii) where such Assigned Individual who is an Annuitant, has not, and will not, exceed 960 total hours in a fiscal year (July 1 to June 30) for all CalPERS 'RFXVLJQ(QYHORSH,'

CONSENT CALENDAR 8.K.
DATE: October 13, 2026
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Nalungo Conley, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING A FIVE-YEAR LEASE AGREEMENT WITH URBAN FUSIONS, LLC FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 285 MARE ISLAND WAY (APN 0055-170-400), WITH ONE FIVE-YEAR EXTENSION OPTION, FINDING
APPROVAL OF THE LEASE AGREEMENT EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PURSUANT TO CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15301, AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE LEASE
AGREEMENT
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution approving a five-year Lease Agreement with Urban Fusions, LLC for the property located at 285 Mare Island Way, Vallejo, California 94590 (APN 0055-170-400), with one five-year extension option, finding approval of the Lease Agreement exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Lease Agreement.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
To stimulate economic growth and activate the central waterfront, staff recommends that the City Council approve the proposed Lease Agreement for the property located at 285 Mare Island Way.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
A primary goal for the City is to stimulate development near the Mare Island Causeway, the ferry building, the downtown corridor, and the southern and central waterfront sites. Achieving these goals requires collaborating with existing and prospective tenants to drive economic development that benefits the community. The negotiation of this proposed lease directly supports these objectives by bringing economic activity and revitalization to the central waterfront.
On May 14, 2024, the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation terminated its lease agreement with the City for 285 Mare Island Way and the adjacent Waterfront History Park, and the property has remained vacant since that time.
On September 16, 2025, City Staff presented Urban Fusions’ vision for the location to the City Council. Their preliminary concept focuses on rehabilitating the premises to establish a new commercial kitchen and dining area, creating a restaurant that will serve the downtown area and contribute to the ongoing revitalization of the waterfront.
To support development, it is in the City’s best interest to lease this vacant property and attract active

businesses like Urban Fusions to the area. The proposed lease structure facilitates this by offering future rent offsets in exchange for the tenant's substantial upfront investment in the design, construction, and rehabilitation of the existing and vacant site.
The proposed agreement establishes a five (5) year initial lease term with one (1) five (5) year extension option, for a potential total of ten (10) years. Based on comparable local rent, fair market rent is set at $7,239.58 per month, totaling $86,874.96 annually. To offset the tenant's upfront rehabilitation costs, the City will provide a monthly rent credit equal to the fair market rent value during the first 48 months of the lease, capping at the actual amount invested up to $304,063. Additionally, the tenant will contribute to the maintenance of the surrounding sidewalks and landscaping by paying a reasonable Common Area Maintenance fee to the City. Under the terms of the agreement, the tenant is required to submit all entitlement applications within three months of the lease execution date.
Next Steps:
If the City Council approves the proposed lease, the agreement will be executed, and City staff will collaborate with the tenant's representatives to facilitate the project. Construction of tenant improvements will commence following the approval of all necessary entitlements and building permits.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed lease will not require any General Fund expenditures for the duration of the agreement. Future lease revenue will yield $86,874.96 after the fifth year of the lease and will increase annually thereafter based on the defined Consumer Price Index.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities), because the Lease Agreement involves the lease and continued use of an existing facility. Further appropriate environmental review will be conducted at the time the proposed tenant improvements are formally submitted for entitlements.

ACTION ITEM 9.A.
DATE: October 13, 2026
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Leonard Bradley Job, P.E., Public Works Director
SUBJECT: RECEIVE A PROJECT COST AND SCOPE UPDATE ON THE VALLEJO COMMUNITY
SAFETY CENTER PROJECT AND PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF REGARDING
PROJECT AFFORDABILITY, SCOPE, AND NEXT STEPS
RECOMMENDATION
Receive an update on the current cost, scope, and schedule of the Vallejo Community Safety Center (VCSC) project and provide direction to staff on how to proceed, including: 1) whether to pursue scope reductions, value engineering, an alternative reduced-footprint site concept, or a pause in further design work pending identification of a viable funding plan; and 2) whether to evaluate alternative project delivery methods for the next phase of the project.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
On August 4, 2026, the City Council adopted a resolution ratifying additional design professional services performed by Indigo Hammond + Playle Architects, LLP ("Indigo"), and approved the Third Amendment to the Design Professional Services Agreement, increasing the not-to-exceed contract amount to $6,396,400. Due to time constraints at that meeting, Council did not receive the accompanying project cost and design update that had been planned. Staff is bringing this information forward now because the updated 100% Construction Documents cost estimate has grown substantially since the project was last scoped, and now significantly exceeds funding identified for the project to date. Council direction is needed before additional design or construction funding commitments are made.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Contract History
In 2018, the City of Vallejo ("City") initiated planning efforts to relocate Police Department operations to 400 Mare Island Way. In 2019, the City issued a Request for Proposals for architectural design services. On February 25, 2020, the City Council approved a Design Professional Services Agreement with Indigo in the amount of $2,962,935 to design and produce bid-ready construction documents.
On April 11, 2023, the City Council redirected the project to 111 Amador Street, the current site of the Police Headquarters and the City’s Corporation Yard. To continue the project at the new location, Indigo’s scope of services was revised and expanded, and on September 12, 2023, the Council approved a First Amendment increasing the contract to $5,634,700.
At the September 23, 2025, Council meeting, staff presented an update on the project, including the funding needed to complete the 100% design phase and potential funding sources to address a project budget shortfall. The Council directed staff to use a portion of Monsanto Settlement funds to provide an additional $746,200 in project funding, and on November 18, 2025, the Council adopted Resolution No. 25-185 approving a budget amendment and the Second Amendment to the Agreement, raising the total not-to-exceed amount to $6,380,900. The Second Amendment’s added scope included an alternative facility options study ($45,000), a revised building renovation scope ($445,000), LEED Gold certification efforts ($196,200), and development application and design review ($60,000).

PROJECT AFFORDABILITY, SCOPE, AND NEXT STEPS
The Third Amendment, ratified on August 4, 2026, added $15,500 for design work related to a taller, longer perimeter security wall at the Police Department’s temporary dispatch facility. This work was requested by Police Department dispatch personnel to address safety and security concerns, was authorized by City staff and completed to the City’s satisfaction, but was performed before a formal contract amendment was executed. Ratification allowed the City to compensate Indigo for the completed work and bring the Agreement into conformance with the actual scope performed.
Current Site Conditions
The Police Department and the City’s Corporation Yard both currently operate out of the 111 Amador Street property. The Police Headquarters occupies a 1.1-acre site with a 19,200-square-foot, 65-year-old building that has significant operational and infrastructure shortcomings. The adjacent 4.3-acre Corporation Yard contains 30,800 square feet of similarly aged structures that constrain the City’s programmatic needs for yard storage, covered storage, vehicle maintenance, and management of operations.
Base Project Scope
As currently designed, the VCSC project relocates the Corporation Yard to a new, as-yet-undetermined site and expands the Police Department across the full 5.4-acre 111 Amador Street property. The base design includes approximately 89,000 square feet of new facilities: a three-story, 68,000-square-foot main Community Safety Center building housing the Emergency Operations Center, community meeting space, police training facilities, and the 911 dispatch call center, plus 21,100 square feet of supporting site buildings. Estimated construction duration is 34 months, with estimated annual operations and maintenance costs of $1.8 million to $2.4 million.
Project Cost Update
The 100% Construction Documents cost estimate, prepared by Indigo’s construction cost estimator and dated July 21, 2026, has increased substantially from earlier project estimates. A summary of the current estimate follows.

Regional Cost Benchmarking
Staff and Indigo compared the VCSC project to 18 comparable California police and public safety facility projects completed, under construction, or in design between 2013 and 2030. At an estimated current cost of approximately $1,300 per square foot, the VCSC project falls in the middle of this comparison range, which spans roughly $330 per square foot (a tenant-improvement project in an existing Caltrans office building) to $2,580 per square foot (a new-construction essential services facility consolidating police, fire, and 911 dispatch). Projects at the high end of the range, such as Mountain View’s Police & Fire Headquarters ($193.5 million, 75,000 sf) and Palo Alto’s Public Safety Building ($135.5 million, 56,000 sf), are, like the VCSC, newPage 220 of 383 Date: October 13, 2026

PROJECT AFFORDABILITY, SCOPE, AND NEXT STEPS
construction essential services facilities. Lower-cost comparisons generally involve tenant improvements to existing buildings rather than new construction, or smaller facilities without a full complement of dispatch, Emergency Operations Center (EOC), and detention functions.
Scope Reduction and Value Engineering Options
Given the magnitude of the current estimate relative to identified funding, Indigo has identified a range of potential scope reductions and value engineering measures for Council’s consideration. These are presented in ascending order of programmatic impact.
Recommended Scope Reductions:
1. Delete off-site improvements from the base scope (implemented as Alternate 1): $0.1 million
2. Delete the Police Services Building, K-9 facility, and related site work from the base scope (Alternate 2): $35.9 million
Potential Major Scope Reductions:
1. Delete Level 3 of the Community Safety Center Building: $17.8 million
2. Delete two column bays from the middle of the Community Safety Center building: $16.2 million
3. Delete the mini-plaza: $2.9 million
Potential Value Engineering Reductions (combined total of approximately $3.3 million):
1. Change institutional perimeter fencing to commercial grade: $0.7 million
2. Change A/V equipment installation to roughing only: $0.6 million
3. Delete window treatments: $0.5 million
4. Change institutional wood wainscot/tile to commercial Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) and paint:
$0.4 million
5. Change institutional Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) and carpet to commercial sealed concrete in back areas:
$0.3 million
6. Change institutional high-density shelving to commercial fixed shelving: $0.2 million
7. Change institutional suspended ceilings to commercial grade: $0.2 million
8. Change institutional lobby/EOC/community meeting flooring to commercial grade: $0.2 million
9. Change institutional casework to commercial grade: $0.1 million
10. Change institutional dors and frames to commercial grade: $0.1 million Alternative Reduced-Footprint Concept:
Indigo has also prepared an alternative site concept that would leave a portion of the Corporation Yard in place at 111 Amador Street rather than relocating it entirely. Under this concept, 2.1 acres of the existing Corporation Yard and 0.9 acres of the existing Police Headquarters site would remain, and the new Community Safety Center would be built on a smaller 2.3-acre portion of the site, including visitor parking and a mini-plaza, with a three-story, 68,000-square-foot main building. Indigo estimates this concept would reduce construction duration to approximately 22 months (from 34 months) and would avoid the estimated $10 million to $16 million cost of relocating the Corporation Yard to a new site, along with the associated design, site development, and utility relocation costs — for a preliminary estimated total savings of approximately $36 million. This concept has not been fully designed or estimated to the same level of detail as the base scope and would require further design development if Council directs staff to pursue it.

PROJECT AFFORDABILITY, SCOPE, AND NEXT STEPS
Project Delivery Method
The VCSC has been designed to date for traditional design-bid-build delivery. Given the current cost estimate and schedule, staff recommends evaluating whether an alternative delivery method, such as design-build, construction manager at-risk, or a public-private partnership, could reduce cost, schedule, or risk to the City.
Several of the benchmark projects used alternative delivery, including Salinas (public-private partnership), Petaluma (design-build, active RFP), and Los Banos (design-build). Because VCSC design is already at the construction documents stage, some benefits of design-build may be reduced. Staff would evaluate cost, schedule, risk allocation, and the City's statutory authority for each option, and return to Council with a recommendation.
Any scope reduction will require redesign of the current construction documents, whether the project continues under design-bid-build or moves to another delivery method. The cost of that redesign is not yet known. Once Council has given direction, a final scope has been agreed to, and a delivery method has been selected, staff will return to Council with an amendment to the Indigo agreement and a related budget adjustment.
FISCAL IMPACT
The agreement with Indigo for design services is funded through the previously approved Capital Outlay and Monsanto Settlement funds allocated in November 2025. Accordingly, no additional design funding is required as part of the current action to provide direction to staff. However, if Council directs a reduction or other change to the project scope, the current construction documents will need to be revised, and the cost of that redesign is not yet known. Once Council provides direction, the final project scope is established, and a project delivery method is selected, staff will return to Council with a proposed amendment to the Indigo agreement and a corresponding budget adjustment, as necessary.
Additionally, the current estimated total project cost of $156 million to $162 million substantially exceeds the funding need identified to date for construction of the VCSC. Staff has not identified a funding source or financing plan sufficient to fund the project at its current scope. Absent Council direction to reduce the project scope, identify additional funding, or otherwise revise the project approach, staff does not recommend advancing the project to the construction funding stage.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This item is limited to receiving information and providing policy direction to staff and does not itself constitute a project approval; therefore no environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is required at this time. Any future action approving a specific project scope, budget, or construction contract will be subject to CEQA review as applicable prior to that approval.

ACTION ITEM 9.B.
DATE: October 13, 2026
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Leonard Bradley Job, P.E., Public Works Director
SUBJECT: RECEIVE AN UPDATE ON THE CITY'S TWENTY-SEVEN (27) LANDSCAPE
MAINTENANCE DISTRICTS AND PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF REGARDING A
MULTI-YEAR REVIEW OF THE DISTRICTS
RECOMMENDATION
Receive an update on the City’s twenty-seven (27) Landscape Maintenance Districts and provide direction to staff regarding a multi-year review of the districts.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
Staff has identified a need to conduct a comprehensive review of the City’s 27 Landscape Maintenance Districts (LMDs) to evaluate whether existing services, maintenance responsibilities, and assessment levels are appropriate and financially sustainable. Accordingly, the City Council is requested to direct the review and authorize development of strategies to address the long-term needs and financial sustainability of each district.
The review is warranted because assessment revenues in many districts have remained largely unchanged despite significant increases in the cost of providing services and maintaining improvements. Assessments in 12 districts have not increased in more than 15 years, and assessments in eight additional districts have not increased in more than eight years. As a result, some districts have experienced reduced service levels, deferred maintenance, and declining reserve balances, which may increase long-term maintenance costs.
The goal of the review is to ensure the long-term viability of each LMD and that assessment revenues are sufficient to support appropriate service levels and long-term maintenance needs. The review will include evaluating each district, developing strategies to address identified needs, engaging affected property owners, and returning to the City Council with recommendations regarding services, maintenance, and assessments, as appropriate. Depending on the results of the review, proposed assessment increases may require approval by property owners through an assessment ballot proceeding.
The Mare Island Community Facilities District is not an LMD and is not included in this review.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The landscape maintenance districts within the City of Vallejo were established separately by City Council resolution as a special financing district to collect annual assessments from property owners within a defined geographic area to fund specified services and the maintenance of public improvements. Because each district was established independently, the districts vary significantly in size, maintenance responsibilities, service requirements, assessment levels, and financial condition. The smallest district contains approximately 10 parcels, while the largest contains approximately 3,219 parcels.
The resolution establishing each district identifies the infrastructure and improvements for which the district is responsible. These responsibilities are not uniform among the districts. For example, certain districts are responsible for maintaining roads and/or embankment stability on private property, while other districts have no such responsibilities. The City Attorney’s Office and Public Works Department are working together to
Date: October 13, 2026
Subject: RECEIVE AN UPDATE ON THE CITY'S TWENTY-SEVEN (27) LANDSCAPE
MAINTENANCE DISTRICTS AND PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF REGARDING A
MULTI-YEAR REVIEW OF THE DISTRICTS
confirm that the City’s services and maintenance activities are consistent with the obligations established by the resolutions creating each district.
District Budgets
District finances are generally comprised of three primary components: (1) assessment revenues; (2) operating expenditures for ongoing services; and (3) rehabilitation reserve funds for long-term maintenance and capital needs.
Staff has identified several financial conditions that warrant review. In some districts, rehabilitation reserve fund balances are relatively low, limiting the district’s ability to address significant future maintenance or rehabilitation needs. This concern is particularly applicable to the Marin View Subdivision Landscape Maintenance District (Council District 4) and the Carriage Oaks Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District (Council District 2).
Staff are also concerned about the long-term viability of districts when substantial amounts of rehabilitation reserve funds are used to pay operating costs. When assessment revenues exceed operating costs, the excess is added to the rehabilitation reserve fund. Conversely, when operating expenditures exceed assessment revenues, the operating deficit is paid from the rehabilitation reserve. Although reserves can provide a source of funding during periods of higher expenditures, sustained use of reserves for operating costs reduces the funds available for future maintenance and rehabilitation. This concern is particularly applicable to the Glen Cove No. 3 Landscape and Lighting and Maintenance District (Council Districts 3 and 6) and the Hiddenbrooke Maintenance District (Council District 1).
Conversely, some districts have relatively large rehabilitation reserve fund balances. As part of the review, staff will evaluate the services provided to each district and the condition of the improvements for which the district is responsible. If deficiencies are identified, staff will evaluate projects or other measures necessary to bring the improvements into an appropriate state of repair. Staff will also evaluate whether assessment revenues provide sufficient cash flow to fund current services and long-term maintenance obligations.
Depending on the results of the review, staff may recommend adjustments to assessments, including a reduction where a district’s financial resources are greater than its reasonably anticipated needs. This concern is particularly applicable to the Cimarron Hills-Madigan Ranch Landscape Maintenance District (Council District 2), Vallejo Garthe Ranch Maintenance District (Council District 3), and Northeast Quadrant Landscaping Maintenance Assessment District (Non-Zone A) (Council District 1).
Staff has also received requests from individual residents or groups of residents for significant projects or numerous smaller projects within certain districts. As steward of the LMDs, the City is responsible for establishing maintenance activities and priorities necessary to fulfill each district’s obligations. Staff will consider resident requests for work that falls within a district’s responsibilities; however, requests may be deferred or declined when staff determines that the requested work would adversely affect the district’s financial condition or long-term viability, is inconsistent with the district’s obligations or priorities, or would require an increase in assessments. This concern is particularly applicable to the Costa Del Rio Street and Landscape Maintenance District (Council District 6).
Based on these financial and operational considerations, staff will initially focus its review on the eight districts identified above.

MAINTENANCE DISTRICTS AND PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF REGARDING A
MULTI-YEAR REVIEW OF THE DISTRICTS
Review Process
The goal of the review is to conduct a multi-year, top-down review of all 27 districts to determine whether the services, maintenance responsibilities, and assessment levels are appropriate for each district and support the district’s long-term sustainability.
The Public Works Department is working to ensure that the City provides the services and performs the asset maintenance required by the resolutions establishing each district.
The review of each LMD will include:
• Confirming the district’s legal and maintenance responsibilities; • Establishing appropriate maintenance standards and service frequencies; • Identifying deferred maintenance and existing deficiencies; • Estimating the costs necessary to bring district improvements into an appropriate state of repair; • Developing a 20-year capital improvement plan for long-term maintenance and rehabilitation needs; and
• Calculating projected cash flow and assessment revenues necessary to fund current services and long-term maintenance obligations.
Following completion of each district review, staff will develop recommendations regarding the appropriate level of services, maintenance activities, reserve funding, and assessments. Recommendations may include maintaining existing service levels and assessments or proposing changes to services, maintenance priorities, and/or assessments, as appropriate.
Public outreach to property owners within each district will occur after staff has developed proposed strategies for that district. The purpose of the outreach will be to explain the district’s existing responsibilities and financial condition, discuss the proposed strategies, and obtain input from affected property owners before the strategies are incorporated into the district’s Engineer’s Report.
If an assessment change requiring property-owner approval is proposed, staff will conduct the applicable notification and voting process required by law.
If property owners do not approve an assessment increase and the district is subsequently unable to fund its ongoing services and long-term maintenance obligations, the City may need to evaluate other options for maintaining the district’s responsibilities, which could include consideration of district dissolution. If a district were ultimately dissolved, responsibility for maintaining certain common areas or improvements could transfer to individual property owners or homeowners’ associations, depending on the ownership and nature of the property and improvements. The review is intended to identify sustainable options for each district and is not intended to presume that City subsidies would be necessary or appropriate.
Review of City Activities
In addition to evaluating individual districts, staff will review the City’s administration and delivery of LMD services. This review will include City staffing levels and administrative practices; City administrative and overhead costs; contractor performance; performance requirements included in City contracts; and procurement of non-landscape maintenance services, such as fence repair.

MAINTENANCE DISTRICTS AND PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF REGARDING A
MULTI-YEAR REVIEW OF THE DISTRICTS
The purpose of this component of the review is to identify opportunities to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and transparency of services provided to the districts and to ensure that district assessment revenues are being used appropriately to fulfill each district’s responsibilities.
Staff recommends that the City Council direct staff to 1) review the services, long-term maintenance needs, and assessments of each district; 2) develop strategies to improve the long-term viability of each district; 3) conduct public meetings for the property owners in each district after strategies are developed; 4) incorporate strategies into each district's Engineer's Report; and 5) recommend assessment changes to City Council, when appropriate.
FISCAL IMPACT
Any fiscal impact to the City’s FY2026-2027 budget will be addressed by a two-step budget adjustment that transfers funds from a district’s rehabilitation reserve fund to the district’s operating budget, when necessary.
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.

ACTION ITEM 9.C.
DATE: October 13, 2026
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Kristin Pollot, AICP, Planning and Development Services Director Hector Rojas, Long-Range Planning Manager
SUBJECT: HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE VALLEJO GENERAL PLAN BY ADOPTING THE JULY 2026 TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS
GUIDELINES AND FINDING SUCH ACTION EXEMPT FROM ENVIRONMENTAL
REVIEW UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PURSUANT TO CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15061(b)(3)
RECOMMENDATION
Hold a public hearing to consider a Resolution amending the Vallejo General Plan by adopting the July 2026 Transportation Analysis Guidelines and finding such action exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The 2026 Transportation Analysis Guidelines establish a comprehensive framework for evaluating transportation conditions and potential transportation effects associated with future development applications.
The Guidelines distinguish between the City's review of local transportation conditions—including roadway operations, access and circulation, traffic safety, and multimodal facilities—from the evaluation of transportation impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which, pursuant to Senate Bill 743 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, generally requires vehicle miles traveled (VMT) to be used as the primary metric for evaluating transportation impacts.
Adoption of the 2026 Transportation Analysis Guidelines would replace the City’s interim 2020 guidelines with updated VMT thresholds of significance, screening criteria, technical methodologies, and guidance regarding transportation-related mitigation. The Guidelines are intended to promote greater consistency, predictability, and efficiency in transportation review for applicants, consultants, City staff, decision-makers, and the public, while preserving the City’s ability to evaluate local roadway operations, access and circulation, traffic safety, and multimodal transportation conditions, as appropriate under applicable law and independent of whether those conditions constitute a significant transportation impact under CEQA.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Transportation studies have traditionally evaluated the effects of new development by measuring level of service (LOS). LOS describes how well a roadway or intersection operates based largely on vehicle delay and is generally expressed as a letter grade from LOS A (representing little delay) to LOS F (representing substantial congestion and delay).
Although LOS remains useful for evaluating roadway operations, its former use as a CEQA impact metric could create an unintended disincentive for infill development. Projects in established neighborhoods, downtowns, and areas near transit could be identified as having significant transportation impacts because they increased intersection delay, even when their residents, employees, or customers drove shorter distances and generated less overall automobile travel than comparable development at the edge of a community.

Subject: HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE VALLEJO GENERAL PLAN BY ADOPTING THE JULY 2026 TRANSPORTATION
ANALYSIS GUIDELINES AND FINDING SUCH ACTION EXEMPT FROM
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PURSUANT TO CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15061(b)(3)
Senate Bill 743, enacted in 2013, changed this approach. The legislation was intended to better align transportation analysis with statewide goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, encourage infill development, support public transit and active transportation, and promote more efficient land-use patterns. In response, the State CEQA Guidelines established VMT as the metric for evaluating transportation impacts under CEQA beginning July 1, 2020. VMT measures the amount and distance of automobile travel generated by a project. By focusing on the amount of driving rather than intersection delay, VMT analysis recognizes the transportation and environmental benefits of compact, infill, and transit-supportive development.
SB 743 did not prevent cities from continuing to use LOS and other operational measures outside CEQA. The City may still evaluate roadway function, access, queues, traffic safety, and consistency with local transportation policies. The updated Guidelines therefore establish two complementary review paths: a nonCEQA Traffic Impact Analysis addressing local operational and safety concerns, and a CEQA Transportation Assessment addressing VMT and the other transportation questions contained in CEQA.
Interim Guidelines
To meet the statewide VMT implementation deadline established under SB 743, the City prepared Interim CEQA Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines in early 2020. The Interim Guidelines established initial VMT screening criteria, significance thresholds, analysis procedures, and mitigation guidance for development projects in Vallejo.
On July 14, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 20-096 N.C., approving the Interim Guidelines through a General Plan amendment and incorporating them into Vallejo General Plan 2040 as Exhibit A. An internal update was prepared in October 2020 but was never formally adopted, which has contributed to uncertainty regarding the standards applicable to new development projects. The Interim Guidelines have otherwise provided the City with an SB 743-compliant framework while the City gained experience applying VMT analysis and prepared a more comprehensive update.
Updated Transportation Analysis Guidelines
In August 2024, the City retained Fehr & Peers to update the City's CEQA transportation-analysis framework and prepare the July 2026 Transportation Analysis Guidelines. The consultant work focused on updating and modernizing VMT thresholds and screening criteria, technical methodologies for VMT analysis, current transportation-analysis practices, and mitigation guidance. Concurrently, the City's Public Works Department developed updated non-CEQA Traffic Impact Analysis procedures for inclusion in the same document.
The updated Guidelines are intended for use by transportation engineering and CEQA professionals and establish a uniform framework for studies prepared in connection with development review. The City may tailor the scope and methodology of an individual study based on the project's characteristics and surrounding transportation context.
Non-CEQA Traffic Impact Analysis
The first part of the updated Guidelines establishes procedures for non-CEQA Traffic Impact Analyses. These procedures were developed by the Public Works Department and are intended to help the City evaluate whether a project would affect the safe and efficient operation of the local transportation system.
The procedures establish general study triggers and provide direction for trip generation, trip distribution, study areas, traffic counts, analysis scenarios, roadway and intersection operations, access and internal circulation,

vehicle queues, collision history, pedestrian and bicycle conditions, traffic calming, roadway adequacy, and fair-share contributions toward needed improvements. LOS remains an important consideration because General Plan Policy MTC-2.5 establishes an advisory standard of LOS E or better, considered together with pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and emergency-access performance.
CEQA Transportation Assessment
The second part of the updated Guidelines establishes procedures for analyzing transportation impacts under CEQA. It identifies VMT thresholds, screening criteria, model-based analysis procedures, cumulative-analysis methodology, and potential mitigation measures for future development projects.
The updated Guidelines establish a threshold of 15 percent below the applicable average for residential and employment projects. Residential projects would be compared with existing citywide household VMT per resident, while employment projects would be compared with existing Bay Area regional VMT per employee.
Regional retail projects would be evaluated based on whether they increase net regional VMT. Mixed-use projects would be evaluated by separating and analyzing their individual land-use components.
A project may be screened from detailed VMT modeling based on its type, location within a low-VMT area, or proximity to qualifying transit when substantial evidence does not indicate that additional analysis is necessary. Projects that do not satisfy a screening criterion would prepare a project-specific VMT analysis using the Solano-Napa Activity-Based Model or another methodology approved by the City.
Summary of Principal Changes
Compared with the Interim Guidelines, the updated Guidelines provide a more comprehensive transportationreview framework by clearly separating non-CEQA analysis of roadway operations, safety, access, queues, and multimodal conditions from CEQA analysis of VMT. They also revise the City's VMT thresholds and screening criteria, including locally supported screening for small projects, local-serving uses, projects in lowVMT areas, and qualifying projects near transit. Finally, they provide more detailed direction for baseline, project, and cumulative VMT analysis and incorporate current California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA) guidance regarding potential VMT-reduction measures.
Code Compliance
Vallejo Municipal Code (VMC) Chapter 17.04 establishes the City’s procedures for initiating, reviewing, noticing, hearing, recommending, and acting on amendments to the Vallejo General Plan 2040. These provisions require Planning Commission review and recommendation before the City Council takes final action on a General Plan amendment. Consistent with Government Code Sections 65353 and 65354, the Planning Commission must conduct a noticed public hearing and transmit a written recommendation to the City Council.
VMC Section 17.04.060 provides that the City may amend Vallejo General Plan 2040 when it finds that doing so is in the public interest.
Planning Commission Recommendation
On September 9, 2026, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the proposed General Plan amendment and updated Guidelines. Following the public hearing, the Commission voted 7-0 to adopt Resolution No. PC26-16 recommending that the City Council adopt the updated Guidelines.
Staff Analysis
The proposed General Plan amendment is in the public interest because it would replace the interim 2020 framework with comprehensive and current procedures for evaluating transportation effects associated with

future development. The update is expected to improve the consistency, transparency, predictability, and efficiency of technical review; reduce unnecessary analysis for projects that satisfy supported screening criteria; and better recognize the benefits of infill, local-serving, low-VMT, and transit-supportive development.
The amendment is consistent with and advances Vallejo General Plan 2040. The updated Guidelines support Goal MTC-2, Mobile Community, and implement Policy MTC-2.1, Safety First; Policy MTC-2.4, Citywide Mobility; Policy MTC-2.5, Street Classification System; and Policy MTC-2.7, Complete Streets. Together, these policies call for a safe and multimodal transportation network that considers pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, motorists, and emergency access.
The updated Guidelines also support Policy MTC-2.8, Transportation Demand Management, and Actions MTC-2.8A and MTC-2.8C, which call for measures and project-level strategies that reduce VMT. They further support Policy CP-1.6, Active Transportation Network, and Action CP-1.6D, which directs the City to develop guidelines for public and private projects that promote safe, convenient, and attractive bicycle and pedestrian facilities. By recognizing lower-VMT development and transportation-efficient locations, the Guidelines also advance Policy NBE-2.7, Jobs-Housing Balance; Policy NBE-2.8 and Action NBE-2.8A, which promote compatible infill development; and General Plan objectives to focus development near transit and expand alternatives to automobile travel.
The General Plan will remain internally consistent following the amendment because the action would replace an existing transportation-analysis exhibit with an updated exhibit addressing the same subject. It would not amend the General Plan land-use map, change permitted uses or densities, increase development capacity, or modify the General Plan's growth assumptions. The update would strengthen the City's ability to evaluate roadway operations, safety, multimodal conditions, and VMT without authorizing development or reducing existing health and safety protections.
Notice and Public Comments
In accordance with Government Code Sections 65090 and 65355 and applicable provisions of the VMC, notice of the October 13, 2026 City Council public hearing was mailed to persons requesting notice, electronically distributed, and published in the Times-Herald on September 22, 2026. As of preparation of this report, staff has received no public comments on this item. Any comments received after publication of this report will be provided to the City Council before or at the public hearing.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with amending the General Plan and adopting the updated Guidelines. The Guidelines establish procedures for reviewing future development applications. Staff time associated with their implementation would be absorbed within existing departmental operations, and projectspecific transportation studies would generally be prepared at the applicant's expense as part of the development-review process.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed General Plan amendment and adoption of the updated Transportation Analysis Guidelines are exempt from CEQA pursuant to the common sense exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3). Under this exemption, where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The proposed action establishes procedures, thresholds, screening criteria, and technical requirements for

evaluating transportation effects associated with future development applications. It does not approve any development project, authorize construction, modify land-use designations or development standards, increase development capacity, fund or authorize transportation improvements, or commit the City to any particular physical project. The updated Guidelines are procedural and analytical in nature and will be used to evaluate future projects based on project-specific information and substantial evidence. Accordingly, adoption of the proposed General Plan amendment and updated Guidelines will not itself result in a physical change to the environment, and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed action will have a significant effect on the environment.
In addition, future development projects and transportation improvements will remain subject to CEQA and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, based on project-specific information and substantial evidence, to determine whether additional environmental review is required. The updated Guidelines will provide a framework for evaluating transportation effects, including vehicle miles traveled (VMT) as required by CEQA, as well as other transportation considerations addressed by the Guidelines.
Accordingly, the proposed General Plan amendment and adoption of the updated Transportation Analysis Guidelines are exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), and no further environmental review is required for the proposed action.

City of Vallejo Transportation Analysis Guidelines | 1
Introduction
These Transportation Analysis Guidelines
establish general transportation impact study
procedures and requirements for development
projects within the City of Vallejo. They are
designed for transportation engineering and
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
professionals because of their technical
contents. The term “guideline” is important:
the City recognizes that every project and
study context is unique. The guidelines are
intended as a checklist for study preparers to
ensure all required study items are included.
They establish a uniform approach,
methodology, and tool set to evaluate the
effects of land use decisions and related
transportation projects on the City’s
transportation system. They are not intended
to eliminate professional judgment or
creativity; however, the need for and final
scope of a TIA shall be determined by the
City of Vallejo.
The guidelines contain two sections which
describe different analyses and requirements.
The first section details the City’s
requirements related to the type of non-CEQA
traffic analysis necessary for development
projects, particularly as they relate to roadway
levels of service (LOS). The second section
details the City’s transportation analysis
requirements for CEQA projects, including the
City’s guidelines related to implementation of
Senate Bill 743 (SB 743). SB 743 shifted the
State of California’s environmental regulations
away from automobile delay and LOS to
vehicle miles traveled (VMT). However,
SB 743 does not prevent a city from
continuing to analyze delay or level of service
outside of CEQA review for other
transportation planning or analysis purposes
(i.e., general plans, impact fee programs,
corridor studies, congestion mitigation, or
ongoing network monitoring); but these
metrics may no longer constitute the sole
basis for CEQA impacts.
Non-CEQA Traffic
Impact Analysis
The City Engineer, under the authority of the
Public Works Director and recommendations
from the City Traffic Engineer, will make the
final decision on the requirement for a Traffic
Impact Analysis (TIA) Study. The purpose of
the TIA Study is to identify the impacts to
traffic operations, including roadway network
LOS calculations and identify feasible solutions
to mitigate impacts of new development. The
purpose of these guidelines is to provide the
standard requirements for the preparation of a
TIA study.
Traffic Impact
Analysis (TIA) Study
Requirement
The City’s Public Works Department shall do
an initial assessment of the project based
upon the description and proposed land
use(s). All consulting fees to perform the TIA
study will be borne by the applicant. All studies
shall be completed consistent with the City’s
General Plan and/or Solano Transportation
Authority policies. The City may assume
responsibility for administering the consultant
agreement to perform the TIA study in certain
circumstances (to be determined by the City
at our sole discretion). In general, the
requirement for a TIA study as part of the
project review process will be based upon, but
not limited to, the following criteria:
• Any project with initial traffic generation
estimates showing that the project is likely
to add 500 or more daily trips, and/or likely
to add 100 or more trips in either peak
period to the existing circulation system,
without consideration of pass-by trip
reductions. Phased projects must be
evaluated assuming full build-out
City of Vallejo Transportation Analysis Guidelines | 2
conditions for purposes of determining the
need for a TIA.
• Any project within a 1½-mile radius of any
key intersections that currently operate at a
level of service (LOS) D or worse and
project is likely to contribute traffic and
worsen this condition.
• Any project that generates more than 40
percent of its total traffic in the form of
truck traffic using passenger car
equivalents (PCE).
• Any project that intensifies the usage,
density, or traffic generation of the site
above the level currently allowed by zoning
codes, requiring a General Plan or Zoning
Amendment.
• Modifications are required to the original
TIA that is more than three years old, or
where the increase in traffic volume as
measured by ADT, peak hour, or peak hour
of the critical movement is more than 10%.
Trip Generation Estimates
1. Trip Generation Rates: Passenger vehicle
trips shall be estimated using the rates and
methodologies outlined in Trip Generation,
latest edition, published by the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE). Approval
must be obtained from the Public Works
Director, City Engineer, or City Traffic
Engineer prior to using any other source to
establish project trips.
2. Trip Generation Basis: The basis of all trip
generation calculations will depend on the
type of land use proposed. The trips
generated by most commercial and
industrial uses should be based on gross
floor area. The trips generated by most
residential uses should be based on the
number of dwelling units. A basis for how
trips are established, including any
methodologies and assumptions shall be
noted in the report. An alternate basis for
estimating the project trips may be
approved and/or required by the Public
Works Director, City Engineer, or City
Traffic Engineer for certain special uses
where more appropriate and known
features of the project will result in a more
accurate estimate.
3. Unknown Trip Generation Rates: Some
unique types of development or uses may
not have rates/formulas published by ITE.
In this case, a trip generation study may be
conducted at a similar existing facility to
determine acceptable trip generation rates
to be used in the study. The type and
location of the similar existing facility and
the study methodology must be preapproved by the Public Works Director, City Engineer, or City Traffic Engineer.
4. Pass-By and Diverted-Link Trips: With
prior Public Works Director, City Engineer,
or City Traffic Engineer approval, pass-by
and/or diverted-link trips may be
calculated and used in estimating the
project-generated trips using the
procedures specified in the latest edition
of Trip Generation. The pass-by and/or
diverted-link trips must be justified by
appropriate calculations. However, the
reduced or net trips generated by the
project should not be used to analyze
project driveways and intersection(s)
immediately adjacent to the project site
(i.e., driveways and intersections in the
immediate vicinity shall be analyzed using
the full trip generation of the project).
Typically, pass-by trips are associated with
new fast-food restaurants, gas stations,
and shopping centers, etc.
5. Truck Trips: Truck trips shall be calculated
and shown separately. Peak hour
distribution of inbound and outbound
trucks shall be identified separately from
passenger cars. For light industrial,
industrial parks and warehouse uses, trip
rates contained in the latest edition of Trip
Generation shall be used. All truck trips
shall be converted into passenger car
equivalents (PCE) for intersection capacity
analysis using the following factors:
• 2-axle trucks: 2.0 PCE
• 3-axle trucks: 2.5 PCE
• 4- and more axle trucks: 3.0 PCE
City of Vallejo Transportation Analysis Guidelines | 3
Trip Distribution Assumptions
The study preparer shall specify, either
independently or in consultation with the
Public Works Department, the trip distribution
assumptions to be used in the study and have
them approved by the Department prior to
completing the study. The distribution should
be based on general socioeconomic
characteristics of the study area, location and
intensity of major trip generation and
attraction centers, trip length information,
origin-destination information (specifically for
industrial and warehouse uses) and any other
known but verifiable information. For heavy
truck related uses, where truck trips comprise
a minimum of 20 percent of the total
generated trips after converting into
passenger car equivalents, trip distribution
assumptions for truck trips should be shown
separately and presented in the report text
and figures separately. Use of the Solano Napa
Activity-Based Model (SNABM) or other
approved model may be required to establish
the project trip distribution.
Study Area
The scope of the TIA shall include at a
minimum any key intersection or roadway
segment within a one and a half (1 ½) mile
radius area from the project site. All key
intersections and roadway segments within
this study area must be analyzed to identify
impacts to capacity and LOS. The study
intersections and roadway segments should be
clearly identified for review and approval by
the Public Works Department prior to initiating
the study.
Projects located within Specific Plan areas for
which a program level Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) has been previously approved by
the city, may be allowed to use a study area
limited to the immediate vicinity of the project
to determine the need for any traffic
improvements, in addition to those already
identified in the EIR. The TIA for this type of
project must specifically identify any
differences between the project and the land
use assumed for the site in the Specific Plan
and EIR. A meeting with Public Works or
Planning Department staff will generally be
necessary to discuss the specific scope of the
study prior to preparing the study.
Analysis Procedure
and Methodology
1. Traffic Counts: Existing average daily
traffic volumes for study intersections and
roadways shall be developed from 24-
hour automatic machine counters or a
recognized traffic counting agency or
company. Existing peak period
intersection turning movement volumes
shall be developed from skilled
personnel/technician manual counts or a
recognized traffic counting agency or
company. Typical count days are Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday of a typical
non-holiday work week when local schools
are in normal session. Counts taken on
holidays and the day before and after a
holiday should not be used. Days with
abnormal traffic conditions (such as rain,
construction activities, road closures, etc.)
must be avoided. Counts in the vicinity of
schools should be taken when the school
is in session and pick-up and drop-off are
occurring. New traffic counts may not be
necessary if counts are available from
another source such as traffic studies
and/or City records if they have been
obtained within the last two years and are
pre-approved for use by the Public
Works Department.
2. Peak Periods: Generally, both weekday
morning (7 a.m. to 9 a.m.) and evening (4
p.m. to 6 p.m.) peak periods should be
used in the analysis to identify traffic
impacts and any level of service problems.
In some cases, an off-peak or weekend
period may be required as directed and
approved by the Public Works Director,
City Engineer, or City Traffic Engineer. The
peak hours will be verified by 24-hour
volume counts.
City of Vallejo Transportation Analysis Guidelines | 4
3. Analysis Scenarios: The following analysis
scenarios, in the order shown, shall be
included for roadway and intersection
capacity analysis:
a. Existing Year Traffic Condition (identify
any existing deficiencies)
b. Project Opening (Near - Term) Year
Base Traffic Condition
c. Project Opening (Near - Term) Year
Base plus Other Proposed Projects
Traffic Condition (Obtain Other
Proposed Project information from the
City in advance)
d. Project Opening (Near - Term) Year
Base plus Other Projects plus Project
Traffic Condition
e. Project Opening (Near - Term) Year
Base plus Other Projects plus Project
Traffic Condition with Mitigations, if
necessary
f. Future Build-out Year Cumulative Base
(TBD - approved projection method)
Traffic Condition
g. Future Build-out Year Cumulative Base
plus Project Traffic Condition
h. Future Build-out Year Cumulative Base
plus Project Traffic Condition with
Mitigations, if necessary
Additionally, a staging analysis may be
required for phased projects to identify the
timing of future phases and needed
mitigation measures.
4. Internal Circulation & Access
Management: Include a discussion on
internal circulation and proposed on-site
parking. Show and discuss how vehicles
would enter and exit via the main access
driveways and identify any on-site or offsite circulation problems. Identify the need for signal controls using traffic signal
warrants specified in the latest edition of
the California Manual on Uniform Traffic
Control Devices (CAMUTCD).
Requests for site access or access
modification shall be addressed in the
Traffic Impact Analysis. Study
recommendations shall include site access
and transportation improvements needed
to maintain traffic flow to, from, within, and
past the site at an acceptable and safe
level of service. Areas to address include:
• Separate conflict areas. Reduce the
number of access points or increase
their spacing so conflict areas or
maneuvering areas do not overlap.
• Limit the type of conflict areas by
preventing certain maneuvers.
• Remove turning vehicles or queues
from through lanes
• Safety of a proposed access (sight
distance both horizontally and
vertically), including
pedestrian features.
• Reduce the speed differential in
through lanes between through
vehicles and turning vehicles.
• Consider the impact of access points
on adjacent or nearby properties on
both sides of the roadway.
Improvements include such things as:
relocation, restriction, or elimination of
access points, roadway widening, turning
lanes, traffic signals, and
pedestrian facilities.
The number of vehicle access points
should be minimized by sharing driveways
and linking parking lots between adjacent
uses. Commercial developments shall
provide coordinated internal circulation
and connected parking facilities. Welldefined accessible walkways must be designed into all parking lots, with
interconnections between walkways to
create safe walking conditions and access
to the site from the public right of way.
5. Capacity Analysis Method: The latest
version of the Transportation Research
Board’s Highway Capacity Manual (HCM)
shall be the basis for operational delay/LOS
City of Vallejo Transportation Analysis Guidelines | 5
calculations for signalized and unsignalized
intersections. Several software packages
are available for conducting LOS analysis.
The latest version of the software package
used must be identified in the report.
6. Traffic Growth: Use of the SNABM or other
approved model may be required to
determine the future traffic volumes and
growth. It shall be the responsibility of the
traffic consultant to obtain these from
whatever source that provides the most
accurate projection within that area.
In the absence of traffic model
information, the future build-out year base
traffic volumes shall be estimated using an
annual growth factor of 2 percent per year,
unless a different rate can be justified and
is approved and/or required by the Public
Works Department. The horizon year for
the cumulative analysis shall be the current
horizon year of the SNABM travel demand
model at the time of the TIA’s preparation.
7. Traffic Impacts: The following criteria shall
be used to assess when a project is
determined to have a “significant” impact
related to the operations of
roadway facilities:
The project deteriorates the operations of
a signalized intersection from acceptable
to unacceptable based on the level of
service standard established in the
General Plan.
• The project results in a signalized
intersection deteriorating from LOS E
to LOS F.
• The project adds ten or more trips to a
signalized intersection projected to
operate at an unacceptable level F prior
to the addition of project traffic.
• The project deteriorates the operations
of a controlled movement at an
unsignalized intersection from LOS E or
better to LOS F, or at intersections
where a controlled movement already
operates at LOS F, one of the following:
• Project traffic results in satisfaction
at the peak hour volume traffic signal
warrant; or
• Project traffic increases minor
movement delay by more than 30
seconds; or
• Where the peak hour volume signal
warrant is met without project traffic
and delay cannot be measured,
project increases traffic by 10 or
more vehicles per lane on the
controlled approach.
• The addition of project traffic at a study
intersection would result in the 95th
percentile vehicle queue exceeding the
available storage or would increase
95th percentile queue by more than
two vehicles (50 feet) where the queue
already exceeds the available storage
space (for example, vehicle queues
spilling back from ramp terminal
intersections to the freeway mainline,
or vehicle queues extending beyond
the available turn pocket length,
impeding travel in the adjacent lanes).
8. Mitigation Requirements: The report
should identify level of service problems
under existing conditions and identify
measures that will provide an acceptable
LOS. These measures shall be assumed to
be in place for subsequent analyses.
Mitigation measures must be identified for
intersections that show a significant
project impact per item 7 above and
operate at LOS E or worse under the
conditions identified in Items 3d and/or 3g
above. The LOS with mitigation must be
improved to LOS D or better for
intersections and LOS C or better for
roadway segments, under the conditions
identified in Items 3e and/or 3h above.
Identify mitigation measures for both
opening year and future build-out year
conditions. Mitigation measures may need
to be identified for other conditions,
depending on the project phasing
and timing.
City of Vallejo Transportation Analysis Guidelines | 6
9. Mitigation Fair-share Cost Calculations:
The percentage of fair-share for the
project shall be calculated at each location
using the total trips generated by the
project divided by the total “new” traffic,
which is the net increase in traffic volume
from all proposed projects (Other Projects
plus Project) and growth. The cost of
mitigation shall be estimated using
verifiable cost estimates from reliable and
recognized sources. Fair-share cost of
mitigation shall be calculated using the
fair-share percentage of the project
volumes multiplied by total estimated cost
of mitigation.
10. Sight Distance: Sight distance restrictions
shall be addressed in the TIA. Sight
distance is the length of roadway visible to
the driver. Specified areas along
intersection approach legs and across
their included corners should be clear of
obstructions that might block a driver’s
view of potentially conflicting vehicles.
These specified areas are known as clear
sight triangles. The dimensions of the legs
of the sight triangles depend on the design
speeds of the intersecting roadways and
the type of traffic control used at the
intersection. Intersection sight distance
calculations shall be based on the most
recent edition of the AASHTO Manual or
Caltrans Highway Design Manual.
11. Alternate Modes of Transportation: The
TIA shall identify other transportation
modes that may be applicable, such as
transit use, bicycle, and pedestrian
facilities. New developments are
encouraged to implement Transportation
Demand Management practices and
introduce methods for trip reduction.
12. Safe Walking Conditions: The TIA must
consider pedestrian connections and
provision of safe and accessible walking
routes. It shall consider sidewalks and
other planning features to assure safe
walking conditions. For sites near schools,
the TIA will consider how site conditions
will support safe routes to school
for students.
13. Road Adequacy: The TIA shall include
detailed discussion and analysis of the
adequacy of roads serving the site and
within the project. Recommendations for
needed upgrades to local roadways shall
be included in the TIA. For projects with
significant heavy vehicle traffic, a
preferred access route to/from the site for
most heavy vehicle trips will be identified
and the road segment’s traffic index along
that route will be analyzed.
14. Collision History: The TIA shall evaluate
the most recent five years of vehicle,
pedestrian, and bicycle collision data for
all study intersections plus roadway
segments in proximity to the project site
as determined by the scope of work. The
analysis shall:
• Calculate street segment and
intersection collision frequencies based
on existing geometric configurations
and five years of collision data.
• Identify if there are crash patterns in
the data by analyzing vehicle,
pedestrian, and bicycle collisions by
collision type, severity, primary collision
factor, and movement. Summarize
findings and observations, and collision
rate using tables and narrative. For
additional guidance, see chapters 5 and
6 of the AASHTO Highway Safety
Manual (HSM).
• Determine if the project would
contribute to an existing problem or if
any improvements are recommended
to alleviate potential effects of the
project. Consult the Federal Highway
Administration’s Crash Modification
Factor (CMF) Clearinghouse and/or
Part D of the HSM to identify potential
needed safety treatments at study
intersections. Review available CMFs
related to assess potential treatments
for the purposes of addressing project
effects on safety. Identify the CMFs
that are applicable based on the study
City of Vallejo Transportation Analysis Guidelines | 7
intersection characteristics and the
source of the CMFs. Include a listing of
CMF values, CMF standard errors (if
given), and CMF quality based on
FHWA 5-star rating system, with a
focus on CMFs with 4-star or
5-star ratings.
• Identify potential improvements to
geometric design, lane configuration,
and/or signal equipment to improve
transportation safety at
study intersections.
15. Traffic Calming: Internal traffic calming
shall be incorporated into all
developments to control cut-through
traffic and reduce speed within the
development. The Traffic Impact Analysis
shall identify and propose specific traffic
calming measures and locations to be
incorporated in the development. Traffic
calming shall be aesthetically pleasing.
Public transportation shall also be
evaluated. The traffic-calming plan shall
include an overall drawing of the
development and identify specific
locations and features to be included in
the development. The proponent’s traffic
engineer shall work with the City Traffic
Engineer to develop a traffic-calming plan
for the development.

CEQA
Transportation
Assessment
This section describes the transportation
analysis guidelines that establish general
procedures and requirements for the
preparation of California Environmental Quality
Act compliant transportation studies for landuse development projects within the City of Vallejo. The guidelines outlined in this section
shall be used in the preparation of the analysis
contained within the transportation and
circulation section of a CEQA document. This
CEQA Transportation section is a standalone
document different and separate from the TIA
report outlined on pages 1 through 8 of this
document. In general, the guidelines are
designed for use by transportation engineering
and CEQA professionals. These guidelines
supersede and replace the City of Vallejo’s
prior guidelines on this topic (City of Vallejo
CEQA Transportation Impact Analysis
Guidelines, Fehr & Peers, July 2020, Revised
October 2020).
SB 743 and the
Updated CEQA
Guidelines
Senate Bill 743, signed by the governor in
2013, changed the way transportation impacts
are identified and measured in California.
Specifically, the legislation directed the then
Office of Planning and Research (now the
Office of Land Use and Climate
Innovation/LCI) to consider different metrics
for identifying transportation impacts under
the California Environmental Quality Act.
OPR/LCI released its Technical Advisory on
Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA1 in
1 http://opr.ca.gov/docs/20190122-
743_Technical_Advisory.pdf
December 2018 in conjunction with the formal
adoption of the CEQA Guidelines requiring
vehicle miles traveled analysis for CEQA
transportation analyses after July 1, 2020.
The updated guidelines include revised CEQA
Appendix G Checklist criteria for
transportation impact evaluation. The four
criteria are as follows:
Would the project:
1. Conflict with a program, plan, ordinance, or
policy addressing the circulation system,
including public transit, roadway, bicycle,
and pedestrian facilities?
2. Would the project conflict or be
inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines section
15064.3, subdivision (b)?
3. Substantially increase hazards due to a
geometric design feature (e.g., sharp
curves or dangerous intersections) or
incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)?
4. Result in inadequate emergency access?
Criteria 2 addresses the implementation of the
SB 743 requirement. CEQA Guidelines section
15064.3, subdivision (b) reads, in part, as
follows:
1. Land Use Projects. Vehicle-miles traveled
exceeding an applicable threshold of
significance may indicate a significant
impact. Generally, projects within one halfmile of either an existing major transit stop or a stop along an existing high-quality
transit corridor should be presumed to
cause a less than significant transportation
impact. Projects that decrease vehicle
miles traveled in the project area compared
to existing conditions should be presumed
to have a less than significant
transportation impact.
2. Transportation Projects. Transportation
projects that reduce, or have no impact
City of Vallejo Transportation Analysis Guidelines | 10 on, vehicle miles traveled should be
presumed to cause a less than significant
transportation impact. For roadway
capacity projects, agencies have
discretion to determine the appropriate
measure of transportation impact
consistent with CEQA and other applicable
requirements. To the extent that such
impacts have already been adequately
addressed at a programmatic level, such
as in a regional transportation plan EIR, a
lead agency may tier from that analysis as
provided in Section 15152.
3. Qualitative Analysis. If existing models or
methods are not available to estimate the
vehicle miles traveled for the particular
project being considered, a lead agency
may analyze the project’s vehicle miles
traveled qualitatively. Such a qualitative
analysis would evaluate factors such as the
availability of transit, proximity to other
destinations, etc. For many projects, a
qualitative analysis of construction traffic
may be appropriate.
4. Methodology. A lead agency has discretion
to choose the most appropriate
methodology to evaluate a project’s
vehicle miles traveled, including whether
to express the change in absolute terms,
per capita, per household, or in any other
measure. A lead agency may use models
to estimate a project’s vehicle miles
traveled and may revise those estimates to
reflect professional judgment based on
substantial evidence. Any assumptions
used to estimate vehicle miles traveled
and any revisions to model outputs should
be documented and explained in the
environmental document prepared for the
project. The standard of adequacy in
Section 15151 shall apply to the analysis
described in this section.
Can LOS Analysis Still be
Conducted as Part of
Development Review?
A key element of SB 743 is the elimination of
automobile delay and Level of Service (LOS)
as the sole basis of determining CEQA
impacts. The most recent CEQA guidelines,
released in December 2018, recommend VMT
as the most appropriate measure of project
transportation impacts. However, SB 743 does
not prevent a city or county from continuing to
analyze delay or LOS outside of CEQA review
as part of other transportation planning or
analysis purposes (i.e., general plans, impact
fee programs, corridor studies, congestion
mitigation, or ongoing network monitoring);
but these metrics may no longer constitute the
sole basis for CEQA impacts. These guidelines
provide technical direction regarding the
assessment of VMT, thresholds of significance,
and mitigation measures for land development
and transportation projects within the
City of Vallejo.
The City’s General Plan 2040 establishes an
advisory standard of LOS E or better, to be
considered along with, but not override,
metrics for pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and
emergency access performance (General Plan
Policy MTC-2.5). LOS can continue to be
assessed relative to this standard during
development review, to promote the city’s
interest in maintaining and operating a
functional roadway network. However,
assessment of a development project’s effect
on intersection level of service must be
conducted outside the CEQA process. The
assessment can be performed as part of a
General Plan consistency assessment, within a
separate traffic impact analysis document.
Within the City of Vallejo, this is performed
within a non-CEQA Traffic Impact Analysis per
the guidelines on pages 1 through 8 of this
document.
City of Vallejo Transportation Analysis Guidelines | 11 Congestion Management
Program Compliance Changes
SB 743 contains amendments to current
congestion management law that allows cities
and counties to effectively opt-out of the LOS
standards that would otherwise apply in areas
where Congestion Management Programs
(CMPs) are still used (see Government Code
Sections 65088.1 and 65088.4). Solano
County’s Congestion Management Program
was recently updated in September 2023. The
CMP network in Vallejo includes I-80, SR 37,
SR 29 (Sonoma Boulevard), Curtola Parkway,
Mare Island Way, and Tennessee Street west
of I-80. Three intersections are also monitored
in the CMP: Tennessee Street/Sonoma
Boulevard, Tennessee Street/Mare Island Way,
and Curtola Parkway/Sonoma Boulevard. The
LOS standard for these intersections is LOS E.
The 2023 monitoring indicated all three
intersections operated at LOS D or better.
VMT Analysis
For the purposes of SB 743 compliance, a
VMT assessment should be conducted for land
use projects. In general, VMT is an efficiency
metric and should be normalized on a per
capita basis relative to the number of
residents, employees, or service population
depending on the project type (service
population is residents plus
employees).Normalizing VMT per service
population, resident, or employee essentially
provides a transportation efficiency metric.
Using an efficiency metric allows the analyst to
compare the project to the city, region, or
county, for purposes of identifying
transportation impacts.
For the purposes of assessing significant
impacts, the City of Vallejo has established the
following standards of significance.
VMT Thresholds of Significance
The following are the City of Vallejo’s
thresholds of significance related to
substantial additional VMT:
• For residential projects, a project would
cause substantial additional VMT if it
exceeds existing citywide household
VMT per capita minus 15 percent.
• For employment projects, a project
would cause substantial additional VMT
if it exceeds the existing regionwide
VMT per employee minus 15 percent.
• For regional retail projects a project
would cause substantial additional VMT
if it would increase net regional VMT.
• Mixed-use projects shall be divided into
their individual constituent parts and
evaluated against their individual
components’ standards.
City of Vallejo Transportation Analysis Guidelines | 12 Project VMT
Screening
The State of California allows, and the City of
Vallejo has adopted screening criteria that can
be used to quickly assess if certain project
types can be presumed to have a less than
significant adverse impact relative to VMT. If a
project or components of the project meet any
of the adopted screening criteria, then it is
presumed VMT impacts would be less than
significant for the project or component of the
project, and a detailed VMT analysis is not
required. City staff can deny the use of
screening criteria if substantial evidence
suggests the project is not appropriate
for screening. Projects meeting the screening
criteria would not be subject to a VMT analysis
for the purposes of the CEQA Transportation
section; however, a project’s effect on VMT, or
the VMT generated by the project, would still
be studied as part of the CEQA Air Quality,
Greenhouse Gas, and/or Energy sections, as
applicable.
The screening criteria are—in addition to other
CEQA exemptions—unchanged by SB 743,
including CEQA exemptions for projects
consistent with an adopted General or Specific
Plan (CEQA Guidelines §15183). Claiming a
CEQA exemption on the basis of §15183 may
carry additional legal risk in the post-SB 743
CEQA legal environment, especially if the EIR
for the General Plan does not include an
analysis of VMT; the city may choose to
require an informational VMT analysis to prove
that a project is consistent (on a VMT basis)
with the land uses previously environmentally
cleared as part of an adopted Specific Plan or
General Plan. This approach is similar to the
approach taken when CEQA Transportation
section impacts were evaluated on the basis of
delay and level of service, whereby a project
applicant would be required to provide a trip
generation memorandum prepared by a
qualified consultant to demonstrate that a
project adds a negligible number of trips to
the roadway system.
Absent substantial evidence that the project in
question might generate a potentially
significant level of VMT, projects that meet at
least one of the following screening criteria
would be presumed to cause a less-thansignificant VMT impact and would not require VMT analysis.
VMT Screening Criteria
The City of Vallejo has three key screening
criteria for projects: project type, project
location in a low VMT area, and project
location near transit stations. A project only
needs to meet one of the three screening
criteria to “screen out.” Projects that do not
meet any of the identified screening criteria
are required to conduct a detailed VMT
assessment.
Screening Criteria 1: Project Type
Absent evidence indicating that a project
would generate a potentially significant level of
VMT, the following types of projects should be
expected to cause a less-than-significant
impact under CEQA and would not require
further VMT analysis. Evidence indicating that
a project may not be eligible to screen could
include unusual or unique land use types or
uses, site locations requiring atypical travel or
other characteristics identified by city staff.
• Small Scale, Local-Serving Retail: Localserving retail projects are defined as projects of less than or equal to 50,000
square feet in size on the basis that they
attract trips that would otherwise travel
longer distances. Local-serving retail
generally improves the convenience of
shopping and other activities close to
home and has the effect of reducing
vehicle travel.
• Transportation Projects Not Likely to Lead
to Substantial Increase in Vehicle Travel:
Screened transportation projects include
City of Vallejo Transportation Analysis Guidelines | 13 transit projects, bicycle and pedestrian
projects, and roadway projects that do not
result in vehicle capacity increase.
• Public Services: Police stations, fire
stations, public utilities, and parks do not
generally generate VMT. Instead, these land
uses are often built in response to
development from other land uses (e.g.,
office and residential). Therefore, these
land uses can be presumed to have lessthan-significant impacts on VMT. However, this presumption would not apply if the
project is sited in a location that would
require employees or visitors to travel
substantial distances (such as locations on
the outskirts of the city or sites requiring
abnormal levels of vehicle travel), and the
project is not located within one half-mile
of a major transit stop or does not meet the
small project screening criterion.
• Small Projects: Projects that generate very
few trips per day can be reasonably
expected to not generate significant
impacts related to greenhouse gas
emissions (GHG).
According to findings from the CAPCOA’s
CEQA and climate change white paper
(Evaluating and Addressing Greenhouse
Gas Emissions from Projects Subject to the
California Environmental Quality Act,
CAPCOA, January 2008), small
developments that generate less than 900
MTCO2 per year are considered to have de
minimis impact on GHG emissions.
The CAPCOA screening level threshold of
900 MTCO2 is more conservative than the
level provided historically by BAAQMD. The
CAPCOA threshold is in line with the post2020 reduction goals established by SB 32.
Thus, for the purposes of this assessment,
the 900 MTCO2 per year screening level
was examined in accordance with CAPCOA
2 California Air Resources Board (November 2025).

11/nc-2000_2023_ghg_inventory_trends.pdf
guidance. The screening level does not
indicate impact significance; rather, it is
intended to screen out smaller projects that
do not generate substantial amounts of
GHG emissions, and it allows regulatory
and discretionary actions to focus on more
significant sources of GHG emissions.
Projects that emit less than 900 MTCO2 per
year would likely not be considered
cumulatively considerable and would not
interfere with the ability of the state to
achieve its GHG reduction targets.
METHODOLOGY TO DETERMINE SMALL
PROJECT TRIP THRESHOLD
The methodology for applying the de minimis
GHG emissions screening threshold to
develop a locally applicable VMT screening
threshold involves calculating how many daily
residential or commercial trips would equate
to the transportation-related GHG emissions
of a local development whose total annual
emissions would fall under the 900 MTCO2 per
year level. CARB estimated the on and off-site
transportation-related emissions (including
energy production for transportation) to be
approximately 37% of regional GHG
emissions. 2 Therefore, the transportation
component of a development’s total emissions
falling under the screening threshold would be
333 MTCO2 per year.
The methodology estimates the annual GHG
emissions from a given number of daily vehicle
trips as the sum of vehicle starting emissions
and vehicle running emissions, multiplied by
an annualization factor. The vehicle starting
emissions are proportional to the daily vehicle
trips and the vehicle running emissions are
proportional to the daily VMT, both of which
are obtained from the Solano Napa Activity
Based Model (SNBAM), which is locally
approved and calibrated. Parameters from the
California Emissions Estimator Model
City of Vallejo Transportation Analysis Guidelines | 14 (CalEEMod) Version 2020.4.0 informed the
conversion of vehicle trips and VMT to CO2-
equivalent emissions. 3 Analysis of countywide
StreetLight data resulted in a VMT
annualization factor of 353.
Figure 1 illustrates the subareas by which small
project VMT screening should be conducted.
These areas were developed through multiple
runs of the SNBAM to assess geographic areas
and boundaries that represent land uses with
comparable and analogous travel behavior.
Table 1 shows the maximum daily residential or
commercial trips that generate annual GHG
emissions falling under the 333 MTCO2 per
year threshold, for each subarea.
Developments that generate fewer daily trips
than those presented in the table as the
threshold can be “screened out” and
presumed to have a less than significant
impact on VMT.
The thresholds differ by subarea based on the
average trip distance for household and
employee trips. Some geographic subareas
are more VMT efficient than others. Table 2
provides more detailed information for
each area.

EXAMPLE OF SMALL PROJECT SCREENING
CRITERIA USE
To assess if a project falls below the City’s
small project screening criteria, an analyst
would first calculate the number of daily trips
that the development would generate. Then
the analyst would locate the project site on
Figure 1 and compare the daily trip calculation
to the values in Table 1. As an example, a
residential project in Subarea 6 would be
screened out if it generated less than 250
daily trips.
