2024 Annual Progress Report 2 March 2025
City of Victorville General Plan
General Plan Overview
The City's General Plan, adopted on October 21, 2008, represented the first comprehensive update since 1997. In 2022, the City updated three Elements (Land Use, Housing, and Safety Elements) and adopted a new Environmental Justice Element. The following describes the elements of the General Plan and the implementation status of each element's goals. A discussion of projects and capital improvements is provided in Section 3, Planning and Development Activities.

City of Victorville General Plan
The City's General Plan addresses the critical issues that will shape the City's future, specifically the following:
• Optimum types and mix of land uses that will both secure the City's economic solvency and maintain a high quality of life.
• Transportation systems needed to accommodate planned growth. • Infrastructure systems needed to accommodate planned growth. • Important natural resources to be protected and integrated with planned growth. • Community facilities needed to accommodate planned growth. • Community amenities needed to provide a balanced and pleasing place to live, work, shop, play, and learn.

The City's General Plan is organized into seven elements which include all elements mandated by CGC Section 65302—the Land Use, Circulation, Housing, Resource (which incorporates two of the mandated elements, Open Space and Conservation, as well as Air Quality), Noise, Safety, and Environmental Justice Elements. The implementation status of each element is identified below.

Land Use Element
The Land Use Element is a mandatory element of the General Plan. The primary purpose of the Land Use Element is to establish the policy foundation that will direct future land use decision-making for Victorville and its Sphere of Influence (SOI) to achieve the community's long-range goals. It should be noted that Victorville's SOl has been amended since the last update of the Land Use Element (2008).

The Land Use Element functions as a guide to policymakers, decision-makers, the general public, and planners in the City regarding the desired pattern of land use and development through the 2045 planning period. As required by CGC Section 65302(a), the Land Use Element describes the proposed general distribution, location, and extent of land uses in the City and includes a statement of the standards of population density and building intensity recommended for the various districts and other territory covered by the General Plan. The City of Victorville's Land Use Element complies with the requirements for land use elements mandated in Government Code Section 65302(a) and the General Plan Guidelines. 2024 Annual Progress Report 3 March 2025
City of Victorville General Plan
The Land Use Element comprises three chapters: 1) Introduction, 2) Issues and Citywide Goals and Policies, and 3) the Land Use Plan, which includes the Land Use Policy Map that graphically identifies the planned land uses within Victorville and the SOI (referred to comprehensively as the Planning Area for the 2045 planning period. The land use designations on the Land Use Policy Map are organized via a classification system that has 14 land use designations and two overlay designations. This classification system provides an ordered approach to land use development and maintenance of public uses and open space by identifying the types and nature of uses and development allowed in particular locations throughout the Planning Area. The land use designations are grouped according to the following general categories: Residential, Mixed-Use, Commercial, Industrial, Public/Institutional/Open Space, Overlays, and Specific Plans. Each land use designation provides general categories of permissible uses and development densities and/or intensities allowed. It should be noted that the Land Use Element update was prepared in coordination with the update of the City's 6'h Cycle Housing Element and accommodates the City's share of the RHNA in a manner that ensures new residential development occurs in a sustainable manner and incorporates environmental justice policies.

The goals, objectives, and policies of the Land Use Element are organized by the following topic areas: 1) Balanced Growth, 2) Economic Prosperity, 3) Quality of Life, and 4) Community Character. Each topic includes a summary of associated issues and opportunities, followed by related goals, objectives, and policies that have been established to address these issues and opportunities at the citywide level. A discussion of the goals of the Land Use Element and the manner in which the City has met these goals is provided below:
• Goal 1: A balanced land use pattern to accommodate Victorville's future housing, commerce, industry, recreation and open space, education, employment, social, and health needs.
- Implementation: In 2024, the City continued to work towards achieving and maintaining an appropriate balance, variety and distribution of commercial and industrial land uses to meet the needs of its residents, support the City's economy and provide employment opportunities. Housing opportunities were expanded and accommodated without discrimination. Along with commercial and residential uses, mixed-use centers and corridors, and opportunities for green space/parks were expanded and provided. In 2024, the City received a total of 28 commercial applications, 25 industrial applications, 4 mixed-use/other applications, 1 multi-family residential application, 70 single-family residential applications, and 10 single-family tract applications for a total of 926 additional residential properties. Out of these, 18 commercial applications, 6 industrial applications, 5 mixed-use application, 1 multi- family residential application 54 single-family residential applications, and 216 additional single-family parcels were approved. Among the approved applications aimed at enhancing the City's commerce, industry, recreation, and employment sectors were proposals for new educational facilities including a vocational school, various 2024 Annual Progress Report 4 March 2025
City of Victorville General Plan
athletic training facilities, multiple industrial warehouse and distribution centers, the establishment of new restaurants, retail stores, and medical businesses. The remaining applications are either submitted, incomplete, required corrections, in review, or have recently been assigned for further consideration. These efforts reflect the City's ongoing commitment to creating a well-balanced, sustainable community that provides diverse opportunities for its residents while maintaining a strong economy. • Goal 2: An efficient, fiscally responsible, and sustainable growth strategy. - Implementation: In 2024, the City continued to maximize growth within the City boundaries. The City promoted land use and development patterns, policies, and sustainable practices. Specifically, the City adopted an updated Zoning Ordinance that promotes infill development within single-family zoned areas through density increases and added mixed use zoning within previously commercial only areas in an effort to enable growth to occur in previously developed areas where City services are already available. • Goal 3: A thriving and resilient economy with a range of well-paying employment opportunities and a diversified and sustainable tax base. - Implementation: In 2024, the City continued to work towards becoming a major regional center for business, commerce, employment, and entertainment. The City's Economic Development Department is responsible for attracting new business investment and encouraging the expansion of existing industry, retail, and small businesses. As the City's marketing and business development arm, the Economic Development Department works with organizations and businesses to act in the interest of local businesses, seek new economic opportunities, and develop new partnerships to drive local economic growth. The City continued supporting Victorville's economic development strategies by providing an appropriate mix of land uses that support existing industries, attract growth sectors in the Victor Valley, and provide jobs for those who choose to both live and work within the City. As part of the City's Strategic Plan to retain local businesses, the Economic Development Department has been working to develop campaigns that promote local businesses and boost community engagement. In September 2023, the Economic Development Department partnered with the Public Information Office to develop a social media campaign that highlights local businesses in the City of Victorville. This campaign remained active through 2024. Additionally, as part of the City's Zoning Ordinance Update in 2024, additional land use allowances were added to the adoption of the Health and Wellness Overlay District, which expands the range of businesses that can operate in the City and provides associated employment opportunities. 2024 Annual Progress Report 5 March 2025
City of Victorville General Plan
• Goal 4: A safe city where community members have a high quality of life and healthful lifestyle, and where equity is routinely considered in land use policies and decision-making.
- Implementation: In 2024, the City continued to promote a community environment that supports overall health and well-being, ensure equity and environmental justice in land use policy implementation, and protect public safety from the negative environmental impacts of development. Community education was incorporated into the adopted measures to keep members of Victorville engaged with the new updates.

The City continued to protect the public's safety by evaluating land use and environmental constraints prior to development and requiring that projects mitigate potential negative environmental and safety impacts.
- The City kept the community informed about community health and other events through its newsletter, published twice a month. The newsletter supports the goal of a safe city with a high quality of life by promoting community engagement and safety.

Events like the Community Cleanup Day, Fall Festival, and Fire Station Open House encourage active participation in maintaining a safe and vibrant environment.

Environmental programs, such as free compost giveaways and bulky item disposal, promote sustainability and mitigate negative development impacts. The #MyBizinVV campaign and Old Town Facade Improvement Program highlight efforts to ensure equitable development. Additionally, public safety initiatives, like smoke alarm tips and pet adoption events, support the City's commitment to health, safety, and environmental justice.
- Also, as part of the City's Zoning Ordinance Update in 2024, the City added the Health and Wellness Overlay District, which is intended to provide an opportunity to integrate land uses and design principles that promote health, wellness, equity and associated multi-family housing development.
• Goal 5: An aesthetically pleasing community.
- Implementation: In 2024, the City continued to promote a distinctive identity and image for Victorville with the high-quality design of the built environment and protect existing development from intrusion by new incompatible land uses. The City carefully reviews all new development applications in accordance with the City's Development Code and various sections of the City's Design Guidelines to ensure that existing aesthetic values of the subject and surrounding areas are maintained. The City continued to implement planning efforts that facilitated development in accordance with the General Plan's organizing principles and regional categories in addition to development standards and design guidelines. 2024 Annual Progress Report 6 March 2025
City of Victorville General Plan
- In 2024, Economic Development staff was awarded with $299,528 in Community Development Block Grant (CBDG) funds to create the Façade Improvement Program, which provides financial assistance to qualified commercial property owners and business owners located in the Old Town area to make facade improvements, correct certain code violations, and make ADA improvements. The purpose of this program is to preserve the historic Old Town Route 66 area by enhancing commercial buildings, attract private investment, beautify commercial corridors, and generate new shopping.
- Additionally, $149,528 in CDBG finds was also awarded to the Route 66 Museum in order to provide building improvements in an effort promote entertainment options in Old Town and bring people into the area. The total amount of grants awarded is $449,056.00 as shown in Table 2.

Circulation Element
The Circulation Element is one of the required General Plan Elements identified in the California Planning and Zoning Law. As specified in CGC Section 65302(b), a Circulation Element is required to identify the general location and extent of existing and proposed major thoroughfares, transportation routes, terminals, airports, and other public utilities and facilities in the City's planning areas. The Circulation Plan was updated in 2020.

The Circulation Element is intended to provide guidance to decisions that expand and improve the transportation system for local and regional trips and to accommodate the diverse transportation needs of residents in the planning areas. Furthermore, this element is intended to specify the City's policies for the coordination of transportation infrastructure planning with the planning of public facilities, where joint benefits can be achieved. The design, location, and constituent modes of travel can have significant effects on air quality, plant and animal habitat, environmental noise, energy use, and community appearance. Both economic and environmental considerations have been incorporated into the development of the Circulation Element.

A discussion of the Circulation Element goals and the manner in which the City has met these goals is provided below:
• Goal 1: Good Mobility. Provide a safe, efficient transportation system that enhances mobility for local residents and businesses as well as facilitates regional travel for automobiles and trucks.
- Implementation: In 2024, the City continued to implement planning efforts to facilitate a safe and efficient road network. Primary accomplishments associated with the implementation of good mobility for the Circulation Element include road capital improvement projects. Section 3 details what these projects were and breaks them down by category and amount. Additionally, implementation includes assuring that 2024 Annual Progress Report 8 March 2025
City of Victorville General Plan
traffic impacts for significant new developments and redevelopments are assessed and that traffic system improvements are implemented where appropriate for such projects. The City has adopted local guidelines for vehicle miles traveled thresholds of significance pursuant to Resolution No. 20-031 approved by the City Council on June 23, 2020, which establishes project screening criteria, trip/land use thresholds, and methodology.
• Goal 2: Efficient Multi-Modal Transportation Network. Meet diverse transportation needs of existing and future residents and businesses in the planning area through convenient, safe, multi-modal means.
- Implementation: In 2024, the City continued to implement planning efforts to facilitate an efficient multi-modal transportation network. Primary accomplishments associated with the implementation of these efforts include road and traffic signal capital improvement projects. Additionally, the City continues consultation with the Victor Valley Transit Authority for major new development and redevelopment projects and regular assessments of special transit needs. • Goal 3: Adequate Infrastructure. Develop and maintain infrastructure that supports the transportation and circulation needs of the community in a cost-effective and environmentally sensitive manner.
- Implementation: In 2024, the City continued to implement planning efforts to develop and maintain adequate infrastructure. This has primarily been implemented through the efforts of capital improvement projects for road improvements. Section 3 details what these projects were and breaks them down by category and amount.

Additionally, the City continued to require projects to be responsible for the construction of roadway and traffic infrastructure and integration into established and planned infrastructure systems.

In addition, the City has obtained grant funding to support infrastructure projects. The total amount of grants awarded is $4,069,562.00 as shown in Table 3. 2024 Annual Progress Report 9 March 2025

Housing Element
Government Code Section 65581 requires every city and county to prepare a Housing Element as part of its General Plan to adequately "plan" to meet the housing needs of everyone in each jurisdiction at all income levels. The Housing Element identifies and analyzes the City's existing and projected housing needs and contains a detailed outline and work program of the City's goals, policies, quantified objectives, and programs for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing for a sustainable future.

It also identifies ways the housing needs of all economic segments of the community, including residents and the local workforce, can be met to achieve the City's overall housing goal. The Housing Element must demonstrate the land use capacity to accommodate the City's share of the region's housing needs-this "share" is called the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). Housing Elements are required to be updated according to a state-mandated schedule, commonly referred to as "cycles." The City adopted its 6t Cycle Housing Element on January 18, 2022, and was certified on February 9, 2022.

The 6th Cycle Housing Element Update (2021-2029) addresses the state-mandated planning period from October 15, 2021, to October 15, 2029, and is consistent with the City's General Plan and the community's vision of its housing needs and objectives. The Housing Element Update reflects the City's continuing efforts to retain and expand housing opportunities in the community. Information about the City's efforts in meeting the Housing Element goals is presented in the Housing Element APR (Appendix A). The Housing Element APR uses the state-mandated template form provided by HCD with data input from the City per 24 Annual Progress Rep 10 March 2025

Medium and High-Density districts (R-3 and R-4) were adjusted to accommodate multi- family housing with densities up to 20 and 30 units per acre respectively.

A Low Density Residential Infill Overlay district was introduced, permitting up to 7 single- family residential units per acre on project sites of at least 2.5 acres and 9 single-family residential units per acre on project sites of at least 10 acres to encourage subdivision and housing variety in areas that previously limited density to 5 units per acre.

3. Mixed-Use Development Enhancements
2024 Annual Progress Report 11 March 2025
City of Victorville General Plan
• Mixed-Use designations of Medium Density Mixed Use (MU-1) and High Density Mixed Use (MU-2) now allow up to 20 and 30 dwelling units per acre respectively, supporting higher-density residential and commercial integration.
• New design goals and objectives were added to encourage a variety of compatible residential and non-residential land uses as well as facilitate and encourage pedestrian activity while establishing attractive, inviting, imaginative and functional site design.

4. Parking Regulation Updates
• Ordinance No. 2448 reduced parking requirements for studio and one-bedroom units in multi-family developments.
• ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) citywide no longer require additional on-site parking due to mass transit proximity (codified in Ordinance No. 2443, adopted in September 2023).

6. Affordable Housing & Old Town Specific Plan Improvements • The City actively continued to market available properties in the Old Town Specific Plan area for affordable housing projects.
• The City began the initial steps to procure a consultant to revitalize the Seventh Street corridor through Old Town with a focus on pedestrian activity and safety.

7. Homeless Solutions & Supportive Housing
• The Victorville Wellness Center, a 170-bed facility, opened in December 2023, welcoming its first occupants and providing essential services. Thanks to the supportive services offered at the center, more than 110 individuals had graduated to permanent housing as of December 2024.

The City maintains a Homeless Solutions webpage, offering community resources such as housing placement, shelters, food services, and rental/utility assistance. • The Homeless Solutions Task Force was dissolved in 2024, but staff now actively collaborate with regional organizations to coordinate homeless services and identify strategic solutions.

8. Assisting Residents with Extremely Low, Very Low, and Low Incomes and Special Needs Populations
• The City issued a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for CDBG and HOME funds, supporting affordable housing projects for the upcoming fiscal years 2025-2026.

Technical assistance for rehabilitation needs remained a priority, with the Senior Home Repair Program (SHRP) receiving over $223,541 in FY 2023-2024 to assist seniors and individuals with disabilities. Outreach efforts included press releases and website updates.

Support for nonprofit rehabilitation programs continued, with the City allocating $30,000 to the Victor Valley Community Services Council to assist seniors and persons with disabilities.

The City's Residential Rehabilitation Program, funded with over $223,000 in FY 2023- 2024, provided housing rehabilitation assistance for low-income residents. 2024 Annual Progress Report 12 March 2025
City of Victorville General Plan
• Efforts to advertise rehabilitation programs expanded through press releases, website updates, and social media posts, ensuring community awareness of available funding and resources.

9. Community and Economic Development
• Civic Plaza Project: In March of 2023 a professional services contract was awarded for the design of a new civic plaza within the Civic Center Sustainability Specific Plan which will include a new police department site, civic memorial spaces, enhanced pedestrian connections, and space for community events. Subsequent design proposal meetings occurred in late 2023 and the project remained ongoing in 2024.

10. Tenant Protection & Housing Stability
The City annually funds the Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board, which assists with displacement prevention, homebuyer education, and housing counseling services.

Residential Code Compliance: The Code Enforcement Department maintains a dedicated webpage for compliance assistance and grant funding for home repairs.

Housing Element Goals and Programs
• Goal 1: Encourage development of different housing types to meet the City's different needs.
- Implementation: Encouraging development of a wide range of housing types is necessary to address the diverse needs of current and future Victorville residents. To enable the development of various housing types, the City updated its Land Use Element and Zoning Code to achieve compliance with new State regulations. The City also aims to streamline the housing development process. The following lists programs included in the Housing Element Update. Status of implementation can be found in Table D of Appendix A.
• PP-A.1: Update the City's Land Use Element and Zoning Ordinance. Incorporate changes to bring the City's Land Use Element and Zoning Ordinance into compliance with new State laws.

PP-A.2: Adopt a Density Bonus Ordinance and Create a Menu of Density Bonuses. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65915, the City will adopt a legally compliant density bonus ordinance.

PP-A.3: Increase Zoning in Areas Zoned for Multi-Family. To encourage lower- income housing development throughout the City, particularly in resource- advantaged areas.

PP-A.4: Change Zoning in Appropriate Commercial and Residential Zones.

Pursuant to Chapter 8, Adequate Sites Inventory Analysis and Methodology, of 2024 Annual Progress Report 13 March 2025
City of Victorville General Plan
this Housing Element, rezone certain commercial zones in the West City, Baldy Mesa, Golden Triangle, and East Bear Valley Planning Areas, as well as the 7th Street Commercial corridor to permit mixed-use development, in some cases allowing residential development up to 30 dwelling units per acre.

PP-A.5: Encourage the Subdivision of Sites that are 10 Acres or Larger.

Encouraging the subdivision of sites that are 10 acres or more can provide more opportunities for development of affordable housing.

PP-A.6: Continue to Encourage Single-Family Home Development in Designated Areas. The City will continue to facilitate the development of single-family units to help households to build their wealth and to enjoy housing stability.

PP-A.7: Encourage Buffers and Transitions. For new higher density residential developments, provide adequate buffers or transitions in relation to existing lower density residential uses, as well as to commercial, industrial, and institutional uses that may be incompatible with residential use.

PP-A.8: Evaluate and Change Off-Street Parking Requirements. Evaluate existing off-street parking requirements and make a recommendation to reduce the number of required off-street parking spaces for residential development with lower parking demand, as appropriate.

PP-B.1: Assist with Development of Low-Income Housing. To assist the development of housing for households with lower incomes, the City will seek to defer, reduce, or waive fees for land divisions, lot line adjustments, and Specific Plans proposing, or resulting in parcel sizes that facilitate, multi-family developments affordable to households with lower incomes.

PP-B.2: Expedite Development.

• Goal 2: Maximize land utilization for residential development. 2024 Annual Progress Report 14 March 2025
City of Victorville General Plan
- Implementation: With a growing demand for housing, it is important for the City to maximize land utilization for residential development. The following lists programs included in the Housing Element Update. Status of implementation can be found in Table D of Appendix A.
• PP-C.1: Update the City's Zoning Ordinance to Allow for Higher Densities in Areas with Underdeveloped/Underutilized Property. The City will update the current Zoning Ordinance to ensure that they are allowing for higher density in areas with underdeveloped/underutilized property.

PP-C.2: Update the City's ADU Policies to Comply with Changes in State Law.

Multiple State laws have been passed since 2019 establishing statewide standards for local regulations governing ADU development. State law requires that ADUs be allowed on any single-family residential land, despite local ordinances or homeowners' association rules and requirements, as well as multi-family residential land.

PP-C.3: Plan to Encourage ADUs. AB 671 requires local agencies' housing elements to include a plan that promotes the creation of ADUs that can offer affordable rents for households with very low, low, or moderate incomes. • Goal 3: Preserve existing housing stock.
- Implementation: Older housing in the City may be naturally affordable (i.e., without subsidies), as priced by the housing market, because it may be priced at lower sales or rental prices than new housing. Existing housing must be well maintained to provide quality housing across income levels. The following lists programs included in the Housing Element Update. Status of implementation can be found in Table D of Appendix A.
• PP-D.1: Enforce Existing Building and Safety Code. Continue to prioritize and enforce the existing Building and Safety Code (based on safety and blight), as required through existing-and, if necessary, expanded —code enforcement efforts.

PP-D.2: Provide Technical Assistance for Rehabilitation Needs. Provide technical assistance and personal appointments to residents, including seniors and people with disabilities, to help review their rehabilitation needs. Prioritize rehabilitation in concentrated areas of poverty and areas.

the City's Residential Rehabilitation Program, which assists residents with extremely low, very low, and low incomes with housing rehabilitation Citywide.

PP-D.5: Advertise Rehabilitation Programs. Continue to use public mailers and the City website and add social media posts to the City's accounts to advertise housing rehabilitation programs.
• PP-E.1: Housing Choice Vouchers. Continue to refer residents interested in Housing Choice rental vouchers to San Bernardino County so renters can have access to affordable housing. Educate property owners throughout the City about housing choice vouchers to encourage greater participation and increase locational choices for voucher holders.
• PP-E.2: Continue the Conservation and Monitoring of Existing and Future Affordable Units. The City has an inventory of 1,341 publicly assisted housing units. These units are deed-restricted for long-term affordability. Between October 15, 2021, and October 15, 2029, no publicly assisted units are considered at risk of converting to market-rate housing.
• PP-E.3: Replacement Housing. The Sites Inventory includes two non-vacant sites with existing residential uses. When housing development is proposed for these two non- vacant sites, City staff will determine whether current or prior site uses necessitate replacement affordable housing in accordance with Government Code Section 65915. • Goal 4: Encourage more affordable housing units.
- Implementation: There is a need for affordable housing for households with extremely low, very low, low, and moderate incomes. New affordable housing opportunities are needed for Victorville to meet existing demand. The following lists programs included in the Housing Element Update. Status of implementation can be found in Table D of Appendix A.

Noise Element
The Noise Element is intended to limit the exposure of the community to excessive noise levels. Noise is generally defined as an unwanted or unpleasant sound. Excessive noise is associated with an interference with speech and other communication, a distraction at home and at work, a disturbance of rest and sleep, and a disruption of various recreational pursuits. To ensure that noise does not affect the health and serenity of City residents, this element provides a systematic approach to identifying and appraising excessive noise in the planning area, quantifying noise levels, and addressing excessive noise exposure and community planning for the regulation of noise. The Noise Element includes policies, standards, criteria, programs, diagrams, a reference to action items, and maps related to protecting public health and welfare from noise. A discussion of the Noise Element goals and the manner in which the City has met these goals is provided below:
• Goal 1: Noise Sensitivity. Identify significant noise sources that could adversely affect the community.
• Goal 2: Noise Control. Manage the effects of noise emissions to help ensure the reduction of adverse effects on the community.
- Implementation: The City previously met Goals 1 and 2 in 2022 and in 2024 continued to apply and enforce the City's noise standards. These standards are met by ensuring that construction does not occur before or after the allowable hours and that appropriate mitigation is incorporated into projects to protect sensitive receptors. Additionally, the City ensured that each project analyzes the impacts it may have on the most proximate sensitive receptors. The City also continued efforts to monitor Southern California Logistics Airport Planning Area (SCLA) operations to ensure that expansions do not impact sensitive land uses. 2024 Annual Progress Report 23 March 2025

Safety Element
State law requires internal consistency among the various elements of the General Plan. As a part of this project, the Safety Element was updated, and a new Environmental Justice Element was prepared in accordance with Government Code Section 65302(h)(2). The policies and plans for both documents have been directly coordinated with the update of the Land Use Element.

The Safety Element is one of the General Plan Elements mandated by CGC Section 65302(g). It is intended to identify and, whenever possible, reduce the impact of natural and human-made hazards that may threaten the health, safety, and property of the residents living and working in the planning area. It emphasizes hazard reduction, accident prevention, and responses to human-made hazards. In addition, the element emphasizes the importance of risk reduction, disaster prevention, and preparedness. The Safety Element includes maps and a Safety Plan of known seismic and other geologic hazards. It addresses evacuation routes, peak-load water supply requirements, minimum road widths, and clearances around structures as they relate to identified fire and geologic hazards. The update to the Safety Element completed in 2022 included new analysis for climate adaptation and resilience, a vulnerability assessment, and an evacuation route analysis. The updated element complies with SB 379, SB 99, and AB 747. A discussion of the Safety Element goals and the manner in which the City has met these goals is provided below:
• Goal 1: Protection from Hazards - Protect the community against natural and man- made hazards.

Resource Element
The Resource Element is intended to function as a guide to the protection, use, and maintenance of the City's natural and cultural resources and a variety of open space lands and to fulfill the state-mandated requirements for a Conservation Element and an Open Space Element. CGC Section 65302(d) requires that a General Plan include a Conservation Element for the conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources including water and its hydraulic force, forests, soils, rivers and other waters, harbors, fisheries, wildlife, minerals, and other natural resources. Given the range of natural and cultural resources, natural hazards, and 2024 Annual Progress Report 32 March 2025
City of Victorville General Plan
outdoor recreation resources and opportunities that occur in the planning area, the Resource Element encompasses the following topics: water supply and water quality; cultural resources, including archaeological, paleontological, and historic resources; biological resources; air quality; mineral resources; outdoor recreation; natural hazards; agricultural resources; and solid waste management. A discussion of the goals of the Resource Element and the manner in which the City has met these goals is provided below:
• Goal 1: Sufficient, Safe Water Supply. Maintain adequate water supply resources and water delivery system to support the implementation of the City's land use policies and fire protection standards, and to meet essential needs during emergencies and severe drought conditions.
- Implementation: In 2024, the City continued to maintain adequate water supply resources and water delivery systems. The City requires that new major developments and redevelopments meet development standards and zoning and subdivision regulations. Additionally, implementation of a safe and sufficient water supply has been facilitated through water capital improvement projects, including several water main improvements and service line replacements throughout the City.

The City continues to implement its Water Master Plan to guide the Victorville Water District's planned capital project expenditures and asset management in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
• Goal 2: Sufficient Park Land. Provide sufficient local, community, and regional parkland to meet current and future outdoor recreation needs of the planning area.

Implementation: In 2024, the City continued to facilitate the development of sufficient parkland. This was implemented primarily through park capital improvement projects, including the completion of 11 park projects. A detailed list of park projects is found on Section 3
2024 Annual Progress Report 33 March 2025
City of Victorville General Plan
- Capital Improvements Program.
• Goal 3: Protection from Natural Hazards. Protect the community from flooding and geologic hazards.
- Implementation: In 2024, the City continued to protect the community from natural hazards by maintaining accurate and up-to-date maps of areas exposed to 100-year and 500-year flood hazards. The City completed its update of the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, a plan that guides City-wide efforts to reduce the risk of hazards such as flooding and earthquakes, in January 2022. The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan is consistent with existing and updated General Plan goals, objectives, and policies. It includes an evaluation of existing fire districts (service areas and responsibilities), fire protection facilities and stations, response times, and future considerations with respect to community safety.
• Goal 4: Conservation of Important Habitat. Preserve land containing native habitat that sustains rare, threatened, or endangered plants and wildlife species. - Implementation: In 2024, the City continued to conserve important habitat by maintaining an up-to-date geographical database of the spatial distribution and composition of natural habitat and continues to require biological surveys and assessment of impacts on such resources for projects. The City also complies with all mandates related to the Western Joshua Tree, including its current protections as a candidate for consideration as an endangered species as well as implementation of the Western Joshua Tree Conservation Act as applicable. • Goal 5: Preservation of Important Cultural Resources. Protect identified archaeological, paleontological resources, and historic resources within the planning area. - Implementation: In 2024, the City continued to protect identified archaeological, paleontological, and historic resources by requiring paleontological monitoring, historic preservation, and planning area-wide assessments and Phase I cultural assessments when deemed necessary by a qualified professional and to establish a transmittal system with the South Central Coastal Information Center at California State University, Fullerton. The City also complies with Assembly Bill 52 requirements by sending out consultation invitation letters to Native American tribes for projects. • Goal 6: Good Air Quality. Promote clear air with low pollutant concentrations that do not adversely affect respiratory health.
- Implementation: In 2024, the City continued to promote good air quality by continuing to comply with regulations by the California Air Resources Board. Additionally, the City continues to comply with the provisions specified under the City's Climate Action Plan (CAP), which provided greenhouse gas (GHG)-reducing policy provisions targeted at 2024 Annual Progress Report 34 March 2025
City of Victorville General Plan
reducing GHG emissions beyond the year 2020. The City is updating its CAP to meet statewide GHG reduction goals for the year 2030 associated with State Bill 32 and year 2045 associated with Assembly Bill 1279. Projects are also required to comply with the Mojave Desert Air Quality Management Plan and Federal Conformity Guidelines. In 2024, the City continued to implement the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority Regional GHG Reduction Plan to comply with Senate Bill 32, mainly through the use of the GHG screening table included in the GHG Reduction Plan. • Goal 7: Energy Conservation. Promote energy sustainability by developing alternative power supplies and reducing energy use.
- Implementation: In 2024, the City continued to promote energy conservation and sustainability by requiring that projects comply with the latest City energy code standards and development standards stipulated in the City's project-specific design guidelines, which address efficient building design and on-site electrical generation. - The City also has a dedicated Energy Conservation webpage with energy saving resources for businesses, homeowners, and renters.

Environmental Justice Element
Environmental justice is defined by the State of California as "the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of people of all races, cultures, incomes, and national origins, with respect to the development, adoption, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies" (CGC Section 65040.12). The Environmental Justice Element is part of the City's General Plan and reflects the City's commitment to reducing environmental burdens and ensuring all residents have the opportunity to access public goods and services that improve their quality of life. A discussion of the goals of the Environmental Justice Element and the manner in which the City will meet these goals is provided below:
• Goal 1: Reduce Pollution Exposure and Improve Air Quality. Disadvantaged communities have greater exposure to air pollutants due to their proximity to high-traffic corridors and industrial activity and suffer disproportionately from health impacts associated with poor air quality.
- Implementation: In 2024, the City continued to address and mitigate current existing sources of pollution through land use patterns and segregating sensitive land uses. Illegal dumping is also actively addressed by the City's Code Compliance Department to reduce its impact as a pollution source.
- In addition, the City has obtained grant funding to support environmental programs.

The total amount of grants awarded is $528,144.00 as shown in Table 8. 2024 Annual Progress Report 35 March 2025

• Goal 2: Promote Access to Public Facilities & Services. Disadvantaged communities are generally within walking distance of transit, which can provide residents with opportunities to access community services without using their personal vehicle. Higher than average transportation costs and public transit frequency and duration can be a barrier to transit use for disadvantaged communities.
- Implementation: In 2024, the City continued efforts to make improvements to existing public facility access and quality through collaboration with the community. • Goal 3: Improve Access to Healthy Food. Disadvantaged communities have slightly less access to healthy food compared to other areas in the City. 2024 Annual Progress Report 36 March 2025
City of Victorville General Plan
- Implementation: In 2024, the City continued efforts to expand food access through economic development efforts and improve community health and nutrition by partnering with schools and private developments, with local agriculture expanded by allowing more community gardens and edible landscapes. Additionally, relaxed and streamlined land use allowances were adopted in 2023 & 2024 to allow for a greater range of temporary uses that may provide healthy food and dining options as well as the adopting of Mixed Use zoning allowances that permit food retailers in locations that were previously strictly residential.
• Goal 4: Promote Access to Physical Activity and Recreation. Disadvantaged communities are considered relatively walkable and have more bike paths compared to other areas of the City; however, there are still high numbers of pedestrian and bicycle collisions in disadvantaged communities, indicating a need for greater safety improvements. - Implementation: In 2024, the City continued to focus on implementing complete streets, urban greening, and increased connectivity by promoting walking, biking, and public transit use, and creating more green recreational spaces on underutilized land.

This focus was supported by the adoption of the Zoning Ordinance update in 2024 and the associated Mixed Use zoning designations, which promote linkages using a multi-modal circulation network, including transit, pedestrian sidewalks, paths and paseos, and bicycle and trail networks, to ensure safe, convenient access between uses.
• Goal 5: Improve Access to Safe, Sanitary, and Affordable Housing. Residents in disadvantaged communities are more likely to live in older, lower-quality homes and spend a greater percentage of their income on housing compared to other areas on the City. - Implementation: In 2024, the City continued efforts to improve housing affordability through its Housing and Land Use Element policies as well as use of grant funding. The City will continue to implement programs such as the Residential Rehabilitation Program, the Senior Home Repair Program and Healthy Victorville to mitigate unhealthy domicile conditions and to facilitate necessary maintenance and community education.
• Goal 6: Reduce Exposure to Climate Hazards. People living in low-income, disadvantaged communities often experience compounded risk due to poor housing conditions, lack of air conditioning, and unwillingness to use air conditioning due to high-energy costs or open doors and windows due to safety concerns.
- Implementation: In 2024, the City continued prioritizing vulnerable populations, completing its Wellness and Recuperative Center in December 2023, and providing public information on emergency preparedness as well as collaborating with immigrant community organizations to develop alternative funding resources. 2024 Annual Progress Report 37 March 2025
City of Victorville General Plan
Thanks to the supportive services offered at the center, more than 110 individuals have graduated to permanent housing. The City also annually funds its Senior Home Rehabilitation Program and its Residential Rehabilitation Program using HOME and CDBG funds to update and improve housing stock for low-income residents. • Goal 7: Improve Civic Engagement in Public Decision-Making Processes.

Community engagement allows communities often left at the margins to be included in the decision-making process that will affect their health and wellness for the upcoming years. - Implementation: In 2024, the City continued to engage residents throughout the decision-making process for various City initiatives by eliminating language barriers (publicly available multi-language informational documents), maximizing available public data, and incentivizing community participation.

Tables 5 and 6 in the Housing Element section describe grants for Supportive Services for the Homeless and At-Risk Population, Public Services, Public Facilities, and Fair Housing.
