DISCLOSURE REGARDING REAL ESTATE AGENCY RELATIONSHIP
(As required by the Civil Code)
When you enter into a discussion with a real estate agent regarding a real estate transaction, you should from the outset understand what type of agency relationship or representation you wish to have with the agent in the transaction.
SELLER'S AGENT
A Seller's agent under a listing agreement with the Seller acts as the agent for the Seller only. A Seller's agent or a subagent of that agent has the following affirmative obligations:
To the Seller: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in dealings with the Seller.
To the Buyer and the Seller:
(a) Diligent exercise of reasonable skill and care in performance of the agent's duties. (b) A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith.
(c) A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the parties.
An agent is not obligated to reveal to either party any confidential information obtained from the other party that does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above.
BUYER'S AGENT
A Buyer's agent can, with a Buyer's consent, agree to act as agent for the Buyer only. This includes a Buyer's agent under a buyer-broker representation agreement with the Buyer. In these situations, the agent is not the Seller's agent, even if by agreement the agent may receive compensation for services rendered, either in full or in part from the Seller. An agent acting only for a Buyer has the following affirmative obligations:
To the Buyer: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in dealings with the Buyer.
To the Buyer and the Seller:
(a) Diligent exercise of reasonable skill and care in performance of the agent's duties. (b) A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith.
(c) A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the parties.
An agent is not obligated to reveal to either party any confidential information obtained from the other party that does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above.
AGENT REPRESENTING BOTH SELLER AND BUYER
A real estate agent, either acting directly or through one or more salesperson and broker associates, can legally be the agent of both the Seller and the Buyer in a transaction, but only with the knowledge and consent of both the Seller and the Buyer.
In a dual agency situation, the agent has the following affirmative obligations to both the Seller and the Buyer:
(a) A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in the dealings with either the Seller or the Buyer. (b) Other duties to the Seller and the Buyer as stated above in their respective sections.
In representing both Seller and Buyer, a dual agent may not, without the express permission of the respective party, disclose to the other party confidential information, including, but not limited to, facts relating to either the Buyer's or Seller's financial position, motivations, bargaining position, or other personal information that may impact price, including the Seller's willingness to accept a price less than the listing price or the Buyer's willingness to pay a price greater than the price offered.
SELLER AND BUYER RESPONSIBILITIES
Either the purchase agreement or a separate document will contain a confirmation of which agent is representing you and whether that agent is representing you exclusively in the transaction or acting as a dual agent. Please pay attention to that confirmation to make sure it accurately reflects your understanding of your agent's role. The above duties of the agent in a real estate transaction do not relieve a Seller or Buyer from the responsibility to protect their own interests. You should carefully read all agreements to assure that they adequately express your understanding of the transaction. A real estate agent is a person qualified to advise about real estate. If legal or tax advice is desired, consult a competent professional. If you are a Buyer, you have the duty to exercise reasonable care to protect yourself, including as to those facts about the property which are known to you or within your diligent attention and observation. Both Sellers and Buyers should strongly consider obtaining tax advice from a competent professional because the federal and state tax consequences of a transaction can be complex and subject to change.
Throughout your real property transaction you may receive more than one disclosure form, depending upon the number of agents assisting in the transaction. The law requires each agent with whom you have more than a casual relationship to present you with this disclosure form. You should read its contents each time it is presented to you, considering the relationship between you and the real estate agent in your specific transaction. This disclosure form includes the provisions of Sections 2079.13 to 2079.24, inclusive, of the Civil Code set forth on page 2. Read it carefully. I/WE ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF A COPY OF THIS DISCLOSURE AND THE PORTIONS OF THE CIVIL CODE PRINTED ON THE BACK (OR A SEPARATE PAGE).

compensation or commission for which an obligation arises as the result of a real estate transaction, and the terms of any such agreementshall not necessarily be determinative of a particular relationship.
2079.20 Nothing in this article prevents an agent from selecting, as a condition of the agent's employment, a specific form of agency relationship not specifically prohibited by this article if the requirements of Section 2079.14 and Section 2079.17 are complied with. 2079.21 (a) A dual agent may not, without the express permission of the seller, disclose to the buyer any confidential information obtained from the seller.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

SUBJECT:
CONSIDERATION OF REJECTION OF ALL BIDS FOR FENCE INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE & REPAIR SERVICES PROJECT (24-066-ITB)
INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:
[ ] Council [X] Staff
[ ] Other
Dagoberto Fierros, Senior Analyst

ATTACHMENT [X] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [X] Action
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this report is to provide the City Council with sufficient information to reject all bids for the Fence Installation, Maintenance & Repair Services Project (24-066-ITB).
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:
1) Reject all bids for the Fence Installation, Maintenance & Repair Services Project (24-066-ITB); and 2) Authorize City Staff to revise the scope and rebid the Fence Installation, Maintenance & Repair Services Project
BACKGROUND
The Real Property and Property Management Division, part of the Capital Projects Department, is responsible for overseeing and maintaining the value of the City’s real estate assets. The division ensures that City-owned properties are effectively managed to support strategic goals, generate returns, and comply with applicable regulatory requirements. This includes oversight of both operating and non-operating parcels throughout the City. The Fence Installation, Maintenance & Repair Services project was created to reduce trespassing, illegal dumping, and other nuisance issues on City-owned property managed by the Real Property and Property Management Division. The project identifies five (5) priority parcels as initial focus areas, and additional sites may be added as they are identified. The goal of the Invitation to Bid (ITB) is to establish a multi-year, on-call contract with the awarded contractor.
Priority Parcels:
1801 West Capitol Avenue – New fence installation
2400 West Capitol Avenue – New fence installation
2600 West Capitol Avenue – New fence installation
4761 West Capitol Avenue – New fence installation
2090 Locks Drive – Repair to existing fence
ANALYSIS
An ITB for the project was released on OpenGov, the City’s eProcurement, with the following timeline:
Original Date Extended Date
Release Project Date: 01/08/2025 N/A
Question Submission Deadline: 01/20/2025 N/A
Question Response Deadline: 01/27/2025 N/A
Proposal Submission Deadline: 02/03/2025 N/A
The three (3) bid proposals received and publicly opened on February 5, 2025, are as follows:
66 Fence Installation, Maintenance & Repair Services Bid Rejection (24-066-ITB) April 30, 2025
Table 1: Bid Summary for Fence Installation, Maintenance & Repair Services (24-066-ITB) Contractor Base Bid Rank Notes
Pisor Fence
Division, Inc. $118,519.00 1 Not responsive - Incomplete documentation Bayshore Fence
Company $179,142.00 2 Over project budget
Maximus
Development, Inc. $225,000.00 3 Over project budget
As summarized above and based on the review and evaluation of all bids received, including the required documentation, staff determined that one (1) bid was not responsive due to incomplete documentation. The remaining two (2) bids both significantly exceeded the estimated project budget of $100,000 and therefore staff recommends rejecting all bids.
City staff will revise the scope and rebid the Fence Installation, Maintenance & Repair Services project.
Environmental Considerations
The Fence Installation, Maintenance & Repair Services Project falls under a Class 2, and Class 3 Categorical exemption according to CEQA. Class 2 consists of replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced. Class 3 consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures; installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures; and the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor modifications are made in the exterior of the structure. This project includes new fence installation, maintenance and repair of existing fencing, which is consistent within the activities under the Class 2 and Class 3 exemption and is therefore determined to be categorically exempt under California Environmental Quality Act. A notice of exemption will be filed, if approved by Council, at the time of contract award once the project is bid again.

Alternatives
The City Council may decide to:
1) Approve the recommended action as described above;
2) Delay the recommended action and direct staff to return with alternative recommendations; or 3) Reject the recommended action and award the contract to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder as determined by the City Council.
Staff recommends Alternative 1 as the best way to move forward in an efficient, effective, and fiscally responsible manner. Before the project is re-advertised, staff will make necessary revisions to the project specifications and scope of work to meet project budget limitations.
Coordination and Review
This report was prepared in coordination with, and reviewed by, the Capital Projects Department, Finance Department, and City Attorney.
Budget/Cost Impact
Staff will recommend awarding the contract upon a successful rebid. No budget actions are required at this time. 67 Fence Installation, Maintenance & Repair Services Bid Rejection (24-066-ITB) April 30, 2025

73 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: April 30, 2025 ITEM # 8
SUBJECT:
CONSIDERATION OF SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE 24-9 REGARDING AMENDMENTS TO TITLE 17 (ZONING) OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE TO FACILITATE TINY
HOMES ON WHEELS AS LEGAL DWELLINGS
INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:
Daniel Berumen, AICP, Senior Planner
Community Development Department
[ ] Commission [X] Staff
[ ] Other
ATTACHMENT [X] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [X] Action
OBJECTIVE
The item is a second reading of Ordinance 24-9 regarding proposed amendments to Title 17 (Zoning) of the Municipal Code to accommodate Tiny Homes on Wheels (THoWs) as legal dwellings.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:
1. Find that, pursuant to Section 15305 of the CEQA Guidelines, the amendments to Title 17 (Zoning) of the Municipal Code to accommodate Tiny Homes on Wheels (THoWs) as legal dwellings are categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Title 14, Article 19 of the California Code of Regulations. The project is considered exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15305 (a) Minor Alteration to Land Use Limitations because the project consists of adding a new allowable residential housing type which is considered a minor land use change; and
2. Waive the second reading and adopt Ordinance 24-9 detailing amendments to Title 17 (Zoning) of the Municipal Code to accommodate tiny homes on wheels as legal dwellings.
BACKGROUND
Tiny homes are those that are typically under 399 square feet and are intended to be minimally impactful on the environment. Tiny homes typically range in size depending on the local jurisdictional requirements, may be placed and used on a variety of sites, ranging from the backyards of existing homes to isolated rural settings. A tiny home built on a permanent foundation is currently allowed under Title 17 of the West Sacramento Municipal Code, if it complies with all requirements pertaining to residential construction, such as utility connections and life safety requirements. From a zoning standpoint the mere size of the home is not relevant if it is proposed on a residential parcel. The City already has several “micro-unit” apartments, with floorplans as small as 250-300 square feet.
A variant of tiny homes is built on a chassis with wheels that can be towed from one location to another. Tiny homes on a chassis and wheels (THoWs) are legally considered vehicles regulated by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). THoWs are currently allowed in mobile home parks pursuant to State law that are regulated by HCD (see Figure 1 below). This means that they are not subject to building codes and do not count as housing units toward the City’s housing production goals in the Housing Element of the General Plan, according to HCD.
THoWs meet the City’s current definition of a trailer, which is defined as “a vehicle with or without motor power, which is designed or used for hauling materials or vehicles, or for human habitation, office, or storage including camper, recreational vehicle, travel trailer, and mobile home, but not including mobile homes on a permanent foundation.”
74 Figure 1 THoW examples
Trailers are excluded from the definition of a dwelling unit, which is “one or more rooms designed, occupied, or intended for occupancy as separate living quarters, with full cooking, sleeping, and bathroom facilities for the exclusive use of a single household. Excludes tents, cabins, boats, trailers, dormitories, labor camps, hotels, and motels.” This means that a THoW is not considered a legal dwelling unit under the Zoning Code when proposed outside of a RV park, campground, mobile home park, etc. Other communities, such as Santa Cruz County, Placer County, and the City of Oakland, have passed ordinances to accommodate THoWs with varying requirements. THoWs would still be legally classified as vehicles and thus not subject to building codes but would be subject to other land development-related sections of the City’s Municipal Code such as setbacks from property lines, front yard paving, etc. It’s unclear if THoWs would count toward the City’s housing obligations as provided for in the Housing Element of the General Plan.
On November 15, 2023, staff conducted a public workshop with the City Council to get further direction on proposed amendments to Title 17 (Zoning) of the Municipal Code on THoW as legal dwellings. Staff provided a presentation, and public comment was taken as part of the workshop.
The item was previously continued at the August 15, 2024, Planning Commission Public Hearing. On October 17, 2024, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing. After the public hearing, the Planning Commission voted to approve the item via a 3-2 vote.
On April 9, 2025, the City Council held a public hearing. After the public hearing, the City Council voted 5-0 to approve first reading of the draft ordinance.
ANALYSIS
Based on feedback and direction from the public workshop on November 15, 2023, it was City Council’s recommendation to allow THoWs as both primary dwelling units and Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) on residential lots. Since tiny homes as ADUs are already sufficiently addressed, staff has focused on how existing regulations might be revised to accommodate THoWs as primary dwelling units. The critical issues for THoWs revolve around how to address basic health and public safety considerations; sewage connections/disposal, electric power/natural gas provision, and potable water. Impact fees would still be assessed contingent on the type of dwelling unit that is applied for. The City would still require typical development standards such as connections to City utilities, an improved building pad, paved parking, and would adopt similar design standards 75 for traditional single-family homes and ADUs. The proposed amended regulations would be found in section
17.08.020 of the Municipal Code (see below):

E. Tiny Homes on Wheels. Tiny Homes on Wheels (THoW) may be deployed as a primary dwelling unit or as an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). THoWs used as primary dwelling units are subject to the site development standards in the underlying zoning district. THoWs used as ADUs are subject to those standards contained within 17.30.040 (Accessory Dwelling Units). All THoWs regardless of primary or accessory status are also subject to:
1. Public Utilities. THoWs shall be connected to the City water and sewer systems or on an approved well and/or septic system where City services are not available.
2. Administrative Approval. A proposed THoW must receive administrative approval from the Community Development Department prior to being transported to the project site. Fees for said approval shall be per the adopted fee schedule contained within the Book of Fees and applied proportionally.
3. Maximum Floor Area. The maximum square footage of habitable floor space for a THoW shall be 399 square feet including loft areas (if any).
4. Address. THoWs shall obtain a separate address with issuance of an electrical permit.
5. Qualifying Features. THoWs shall include a bathroom, kitchen, and a sleeping area.
6. Certification. THoWs shall comply with standards set forth in California Health and Safety Code 18027.3 (i.e., ANSI 119.5 and NFPA 1192). A THoW shall be certified by a recognized national certification body as complying with these standards and a certified label shall be placed on the tiny homes on wheels to demonstrate compliance.
7. One Story. THoWs are limited to one story. Lofts up to 48” in height do not constitute a second story.
8. Screened Undercarriage. A THoW’s undercarriage, including wheels, axles, tongue, and hitch, shall be concealed from view from adjacent grade level streets and adjacent residentially zoned properties.
9. Egress. THoWs shall have a minimum of two means of egress, one of which shall be the main entrance 76 and one of which shall be in each sleeping area (may be a window with appropriate dimensions to allow for emergency access).
10. Appearance & Design. THoW shall resemble conventional residential structure rather than a recreational vehicle. This shall be done by incorporating design features and materials typically used for houses (e.g., siding, roofing, pitched roofs, eaves, residential windows, etc.). THoWs shall be mounted on a wheeled trailer chassis and designed and built to look like a conventional residential structure, using conventional building materials, and is thus architecturally distinct from traditional mobile homes and recreational vehicles. See example below:
11. Living Area Extensions. The roof and all exterior walls shall not be fixed with slide-outs, tip-outs, or other forms of mechanically articulating room area extensions.
12. Energy. THoWs shall incorporate an electrical subpanel and connected to the power grid. Building permits will be required.
13. Mechanical Equipment. All mechanical equipment shall be incorporated into the structure other than solar energy panels or collectors.
14. Tie Down. A THoW shall be tied down with anchors or otherwise stabilized as designed by the manufacturer.
15. Porches and Decks. Structures such as porches, decks, sheds, and gazebos shall be designed to detach from the tiny homes on wheels. Uncovered porches or decks less than thirty (30) inches in height and less than two hundred (200) square feet do not require building permits. Permanent roofed structures and other accessory structures shall meet the requirements of Section 17.22.020.
16. Wind Loads. A THoW shall be constructed to withstand minimum wind loads for the proposed parking location.
17. Parking Pad. The wheels shall be skirted or removed and shall sit with leveling or support jacks on a paved durable surface designed in accordance with Title 17 (Zoning) of the WSMC.
18. Parking. THoWs shall not require additional parking when proposed as an ADU.
19. Pedestrian Access. An all-weather surface pedestrian path from the street frontage to the main entrance of the tiny homes on wheels shall be provided.
20. Emergency and Rescue Openings. All THoWs shall have emergency escape and rescue openings sufficient to ensure emergency escape, including a means of escape, if not an exterior passage door, from each sleeping space that provides an opening of sufficient size to permit the unobstructed passage, with its major axis parallel to the plane of the opening and horizontal at all times, of an ellipsoid generated by rotating about the minor axis an ellipse having a major axis of 24 in. (610 mm) and a minor axis of 17 in. (432 mm).
77 17.51.020 Definitions
Tiny Home on Wheels. A vehicle intended for human habitation as a dwelling unit that is built on a chassis and complies with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration regulations (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards - Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations).

SUBJECT:
CONSIDERATION OF SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE 25-6 REGARDING AMENDMENTS TO TITLE 17 (ZONING) OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE TO
ENHANCE PUBLIC NOTICING, AWARENESS AND PARTICIPATION IN THE REVIEW OF
LARGE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:
Andrea Ouse, AICP, Director

[ ] Commission [X] Staff
[ ] Other
ATTACHMENT [X] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [X] Action
OBJECTIVE
This item is the second reading and adoption of Ordinance 25-6 regarding proposed amendments to Chapter
17.35 of the Municipal Code to promote greater public awareness and involvement in the review of large development projects through enhanced noticing, accessibility, and participation procedures.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:
1. Find that the proposed ordinance amending Chapter 17.35 of the Municipal Code is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines as there is no possibility the activity may have a significant effect on the environment; and
2. Waive the second reading and adopt of Ordinance 25-6 amending Chapter 17.35 of the Municipal Code to improve the public review process for large development projects.
BACKGROUND
In recent years, West Sacramento has experienced an increase in applications for large-scale private development projects. Due to their size and potential to significantly affect surrounding neighborhoods and the broader community, these projects benefit from heightened transparency and community engagement.
The City’s existing noticing requirements and procedures were not originally designed with these larger, more impactful projects in mind. In response to community input and the desire to foster a more citizen-friendly public input environment, the City has proposed this ordinance to expand notification boundaries, increase transparency around project materials, and strengthen opportunities for residents to provide input earlier and more meaningfully in the process.
These changes reflect the City Council’s commitment to accessibility, transparency, and inclusive community engagement. The preparation of the proposed Ordinance was the result of City staff collaborating with long-time resident Kimber B. Goddard. The draft ordinance is consistent with provisions negotiated in the Yarbrough settlement agreement and supports the City’s broader goals of equitable and transparent planning practices.
At the regular meeting of April 9, 2025, the City Council held a public hearing. After the public hearing, the City Council voted 5-0 to approve the first reading of the draft ordinance and waive further reading.
ANALYSIS
The ordinance would add Section 17.35.075 to the Zoning Code to define a new category of projects called “Large Development Projects” and establish enhanced procedures for public noticing and review. Key provisions include:
Expanded Notification Radius: For required public workshops and hearings, notices will be mailed to all property owners within a 1/4 mile of the project boundary. Early and Accessible Engagement: Public workshops will be required prior to Planning Commission or City Council action and held in locations close to the project site. Transparency in Materials: Agenda reports and supporting materials must be posted to the City website at least one week in advance. Staff reports over 200 pages must include a table of contents for clarity. 85 Ordinance 25-6 Regarding Proposed Amendments to Zoning Code April 30, 2025
Procedural Enhancements: Hearings will be prioritized earlier on the agenda and will feature longer public comment periods (minimum three minutes per speaker) with provisions for extending the meeting past 11:00 p.m. by vote.
Citywide Application: The ordinance applies to all new applications for large development projects, defined as private development involving over 500 residential units and requiring discretionary approval from the Planning Commission or City Council.
These enhancements ensure that the public has more time, notice, and opportunities to participate in decisions that affect the future shape of the City.
Environmental Considerations
The proposed ordinance is exempt from CEQA under Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. The project involves process improvements only and does not have the potential for a significant impact on the environment.
Strategic Plan Integration
This ordinance advances the City Council’s strategic principles related to Community Engagement and Smart Growth by fostering transparent governance and improving public participation in significant land use decisions.
Alternatives
The City Council’s primary alternatives to the recommended action are summarized below.
1. Adopt Ordinance 25-6 amending Title 17 (Zoning) of the Municipal Code to revise the review of large development projects with enhanced noticing, accessibility, and participation procedures;
2. Deny adoption of Ordinance 25-6 at this time; or
3. Continue the item to a future date and request additional information be provided at that time.
Staff recommends Alternative 1. Staff does not recommend Alternative 2, as first reading of the draft ordinance was unanimously approved by the Council at the April 9, 2025 meeting. Staff is prepared to effectuate Alternative 3 at the Council’s direction.
Coordination and Review
The project was coordinated with staff from the City Attorney’s Office and Community Development Department.
Budget/Cost Impact
There is minimal budget impact associated with the recommended actions. Costs associated with the enhanced notification and staff time will be borne by the applicant.

SUBJECT:
CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 25-50 AMENDING THE BOOK OF FEES TO
UPDATE THE URBAN INFILL IMPACT FEE REDUCTION PROGRAM TO INCLUDE
SOUTHPORT INDUSTRIAL PARK AND SEAWAY PROPERTIES

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this report is to provide the City Council with information to consider adoption of Resolution 25-50 which adjusts the Book of Fees to include the Southport Industrial Park and Seaway properties in the Urban Infill Impact Fee Reduction Program.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:
1) Adopt Resolution 25-50 (Attachment 1) approving an adjustment to the Book of Fees to include the Southport Industrial Park and Seaway properties in the current Urban Infill Impact Fee Reduction Program; and
2) Delegate certain authorities to implement the reforms to the City Manager and Finance Director.
BACKGROUND
On August 17, 2022, the City Council adopted a pilot program to reduce development impact fees for projects located within high-priority infill areas (Washington District and the Central Business District areas). The program was designed to reduce significant financial barrier to development in those areas, particularly for higher-density housing. This initial fee reduction program was successful in facilitating new development in these areas, including advancing Four40 West, Washington Commons, and Huddle on 5th housing projects.
In early 2023, the City Council directed staff to expand the City’s pilot program beyond the Washington and Central Business Districts to include the entire area covered by the EIFD, as well as infill development in other disadvantaged areas of the City. In response, City staff recommended changes to the Book of Fees to implement reduced development impact fees for all land use types in all areas of the City north of the deep-water ship channel and the Stone Lock District located south of the deep-water ship channel. On April 10, 2024, Council approved this recommendation creating the Urban Infill Impact Fee Reduction Program and the updated Book of Fees went into effect on July 1, 2024.
The Southport Industrial Park (“SIP”) and Seaway areas were considered for inclusion in the Urban Infill Impact Fee Reduction Program as both areas are included in the City’s EIFD. However, the SIP and Seaway areas have an existing Negotiated Impact Fee Package (Attachment 2) that is in effect through March 13, 2026, and June 19, 2026, respectively. Because of this existing fee incentive, staff excluded SIP and Seaway from the Urban Infill Impact Fee Reduction Program. However, since implementing the Urban Infill Impact Fee Reduction Program, staff has learned that the existing SIP and Seaway fee incentives are complex to implement, were assigned to initial property owners/developers and are not available to successive landowners/developers unless assigned through a property transaction. Therefore, some potential developments in these areas revert to the City’s regular fee schedule, which places a high-cost burden on projects that may prevent advanced industry and high-wage job growth production.
ANALYSIS
The SIP and Seaway properties comprise approximately 1,030 acres and most land uses are intended to facilitate industrial and business-related uses. Over the past several years, the SIP area has experienced significant development, which has generated significant tax-increment revenues for the City to reinvest in infrastructure and other public improvements.
While the SIP is nearly fully built-out, there are opportunities to add new jobs-producing developments or converting existing warehouse space to research and development and manufacturing uses that increase highwage jobs in the City. The Seaway area, owned by the Sacramento-Yolo Port District, is currently undeveloped, 91 Update to Urban Infill Impact Fee Reduction Program
April 30, 2025
but has a significant initial development phase under way that will result in 1 million square feet of advanced manufacturing space. Since Seaway is mostly publicly owned and currently generates little to no property tax revenue, future property sales and private development of those properties will generate significant property tax increment that the City will reinvest in future improvements.
To incentivize new developments that support job growth in the City, staff recommends adding the SIP and Seaway properties to the Urban Infill Impact Fee Reduction Program approved by Council in April 2024, as illustrated in Attachment 1 – Exhibit A. Furthermore, staff recommends the following provisions:
For the SIP and Seaway properties, the Urban Infill Impact Fee Reduction Program will apply only to projects that are not entitled to the Negotiated Impact Fee Package either through the expiration of an existing agreement, or lack of any agreement; and
After the expiration of the SIP and Seaway Negotiated Impact Fee Package, the Urban Infill Impact Fee Reduction Program will apply to all developments in these areas through the duration of the program.
As established through Resolution 24-20, the Urban Infill Impact Fee Reduction Program is in effect until the City’s impact fees are adjusted based on updated nexus study/master plan documents. As Council adopts each updated impact fee, that fee will be removed from the Urban Infill Impact Fee Reduction Program and the Book of Fees will be updated accordingly. As the program is implemented and impact fees are updated, staff will continue to evaluate the cumulative impact of the fee updates on new development feasibility to ensure the City is successful in achieving its mission of supporting new development.
The proposed adjustments to the Urban Infill Impact Fee Reduction Program would be effective July 1, 2025, to give staff adequate time to test and implement the updates in Accela, the City’s fee permitting software program.
Additionally, the adoption of Resolution 25-50 delegates authority to the City Manager to amend any impact fee deferral agreements for eligible projects approved by the City no later than December 31, 2024, for the purpose of aligning those fees with the Urban Infill Impact Fee Reduction Program’s fees. Such projects would need to have active building permit applications and be ready for permit issuance soon after the July 1, 2025, effective date.
Environmental Considerations
This action is not a project that is subject to CEQA because it is not an activity that may cause either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment (Pub. Resources Code, § 21065; CEQA Guidelines §§ 15060(c), 15378(a).)
Commission Recommendation
Over the years, staff have completed numerous workshops and presentations to the Economic Development and Housing Commission focused on the City’s development and housing assistance programs, including the City’s past and current Urban Infill Impact Fee Reduction Program. On March 26, 2025, staff provided the Commission with an update on staff’s proposal to add the SIP and Seaway properties to the City’s current Urban Infill Impact Fee Reduction Program. The Commission’s feedback supported the proposed expanded impact fee reductions.
Strategic Plan Integration
This item is in support of the Council’s 2024 Strategic Plan Policy Agenda item “Impact Fee Reduction in EIFD/Urban Infill Areas.”
Alternatives
The Council’s primary alternatives to the recommended actions include:
1. Recommend modifying Resolution 25-50 related to adding SIP and/or Seaway properties to the Urban Infill Impact Fee Reduction Program; or
2. Reject Resolution 25-50 and do not proceed with adding SIP and Seaway properties to the Urban Infill Impact Fee Reduction Program at this time.
Coordination and Review
This report was prepared by the Economic Development and Housing Department in coordination with the Community Development and Finance Departments and the City Attorney.
Budget/Cost Impact
The proposed update to the Urban Infill Impact Fee Reduction Program is expected to incentivize new development in the SIP and Seaway areas, resulting in greater revenue for the City in the form of new property 92 Update to Urban Infill Impact Fee Reduction Program
April 30, 2025
tax and sales tax revenues and production of high-wage jobs that would otherwise not be received if impact fees remain at their higher levels.

Chapter 15.50 of the City of West Sacramento Municipal Code provides that developers demonstrate that, prior to occupancy, new structures have two-hundred-year flood protection through either: (i) the construction of flood improvements or other mitigation measures beyond those otherwise required by the City’s Flood Plan Management Ordinance (Title 18); or (ii) the payment to the City of an in-lieu fee.
The various amounts of these in-lieu fees are supported by a study entitled West Sacramento Flood Protection In-Lieu Fee Study, by Economic & Planning Systems, dated April 11, 2007. Fees in this study shall be adjusted each succeeding January 1st, commencing January 1, 2008, to reflect inflationary costs. The fees shall be increased by the ratio which the Engineering NewsRecord’s Construction Cost Index (20 cities) for the most recent July index.

Fees are supported by the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan prepared by PROS Consulting, dated April 17, 2019 (the “2019 Master Plan”) and the 2021 Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan Impact Fee Analysis (the “2021 Fee Analysis”), which included a 10- year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) reflecting land acquisition and construction of park, trail and recreation facility improvements based on recent project costs and Department estimated facility costs. The 2021 Fee Analysis applied a 5% cost escalator to the estimated total CIP costs identified in the 2019 Master Plan. Costs associated with more recent planning efforts/development projects in the City have been incorporated, including: Washington Realized, The Bridge District, Yarbrough, Pioneer Bluff, Stone Lock, River Park, and Liberty. The total value of the 2019 Master Plan CIP is $180 million. Of this amount, $112 million in capital improvements are estimated to be funded with the Park Impact Fee. The balance is estimated to be funded through other sources of funding, including grant funding, public/private partnerships, sales tax measure funding and/or other appropriate impact fee funding.
The Park Impact Fee will be updated annually based on the Engineering News-Record’s Construction Cost Index. Estimated costs and corresponding fees in the study have been indexed from July 2020 (11439.11) to July 2024 (13556).

The sewer connection fees are supported by the Wastewater System Master Plan 2015 Update, dated August 2017. The sewer connection fee represents the unit cost of capacity. The current number of sewer connections is converted to a standard connection referred to as an equivalent dwelling unit (EDU). An EDU relates multi family, commercial, and industrial connections to an equivalent single family residential connection based on the ration of the customer’s estimated daily sewer water use compared to that of a single-family residence. The City’s sewer connection fee only recovers the collection system costs. Fees in this study shall be adjusted each succeeding January 1st, commencing January 1, 2019, to reflect inflationary costs. The fees shall be increased by the ratio which the Engineering News-Record’s Construction Cost Index (20 cities) for the most recent July index (13556).

Traffic Impact Fees are supported by a study entitled 2005 Traffic Impact Fee Study Update, prepared by DKS Associates. Fees in this study reflect 2005 costs. Fees have been updated to July 2009 using the ARTBA Index. Beginning on January 1, 2011, the July Engineering NewsRecord’s 20 Cities Index (ENRCCI) will be used to update the traffic fees each year. The fees below have been indexed to July 2024 ENRCCI (13556).
Fee Schedule
A. FEES
Land Use Category Notes:
Outdoor bulk storage uses shall pay a traffic impact fee based on an assumed 40% floor area. It shall be calculated on a per acre basis (acreage of use X 4 X 43.650 X the applicable HI or WRI fee rate). The fee shall be collected with the business license for outdoor bulk storage use. The fee shall not be collected more than one time on a given area for outdoor bulk storage use.
Heavy industrial category applies to uses that deal with large cargo handling or raw material transfer, storage, manufacture, refining or processing.
Light industrial category applies to uses such as semiconductor manufacturing, machine shops, bottling plant, printing plants, inert material manufacture, laboratory (i.e., research, materials testing), cabinetmakers, etc.
Heavy commercial category applies to establishments such as building material supply, lumber supply, hardware, home improvement stores and nurseries.
General Notes:
Credit against traffic impact fees shall be provided when a building permit for demolition of a previous structure of similar use on the same lot has been obtained within the five years previous to building permit issuance for a new structure.
Traffic impact fees for land uses which do not fit into the above listed categories shall be evaluated by the City Engineer on a case-by-case basis by establishing a ratio of relative impacts, as identified within the ITE Codes, between the proposed land use and a similar land use listed above. Traffic impact fees will not be collected at the time of building permit issuance for a shell building, but will be collected at the time of the building permit for tenant improvements and will be charged at the rate in effect at the time of that permit.
On March 3, 2010, the City Council approved interim traffic fees that reduced the fees by 20%. These reductions were not extended by the City Council at its March 16, 2011 119

District 7 is not reflected on table above since these areas have their own negotiated impact fee package and those fees are located here.
B. CREDITS
The percentage of the above fee is to be constructed and reimbursed at 12.8%. This is based on the assumption that the following projects will be developer financed and constructed:
5th Street
Southport/Village Parkway
South River Road in Triangle Area
Lake Washington
40% of remaining traffic signals
C. TRAFFIC IMPACT FEE ADJUSTMENT FOR TRANSIT
The City anticipates establishing a transit funding program. Should such a program be implemented, adjustments to the traffic impact fee may be negotiated with project applicants who participate in a financing district for transit improvements that reduce traffic generation. Participation may include advance funding, formation of a financing district, or annexation to an existing financing district.
D. URBAN INFILL FEE REDUCTION PROGRAM EXPANSION
The City adopted resolution 24-20 to have a temporary fee reduction in all districts in the Northern part of the City plus Stonelock area. The fee schedule above reflects this reduction program in all districts except for District 1. Resolution 25-50 is expanding the urban infill area to include Southport Industrial Park and Seaway areas.

The current number of water connections are converted to a standard connection referred to as an equivalent meter unit (EMU). An EMU represents capacity of the smallest meter available, a ¾” meter. Larger meters represent more EMU’s depending on how their rated capacities compare with one EMU.
The cost of an EMU is determined by dividing the value of the water system facilities by the number of EMU’s served. Fees in this study shall be adjusted each succeeding January 1st, commencing January 1, 2019, to reflect inflationary costs. The fees shall be increased by the ratio which the Engineering News-Record’s Construction Cost Index (20 cities) for the most recent July index (13556).

The 2021 Fee Analysis applied a 5% cost escalator to the estimated total CIP costs identified in the 2019 Master Plan. Costs associated with more recent planning efforts/development projects in the City have been incorporated, including: Washington Realized, The Bridge District, Yarbrough, Pioneer Bluff, Stone Lock, River Park, and Liberty. The total value of the 2019 Master Plan CIP is $180 million. Of this amount, $112 million in capital improvements are estimated to be funded with the Park Impact Fee. The balance is estimated to be funded through other sources of funding, including grant funding, public/private partnerships, sales tax measure funding and/or other appropriate impact fee funding.
The Park Impact Fee will be updated annually based on the Engineering News-Record’s Construction Cost Index. Estimated costs and corresponding fees in the study have been indexed from July 2020 (11439.11) to July 2024 (13556).

Traffic Impact Fees are supported by a study entitled 2005 Traffic Impact Fee Study Update, prepared by DKS Associates. Fees in this study reflect 2005 costs. Fees have been updated to July 2009 using the ARTBA Index. Beginning on January 1, 2011, the July Engineering NewsRecord’s 20 Cities Index (ENRCCI) will be used to update the traffic fees each year. The fees below have been indexed to July 2024 ENRCCI (13556).
Fee Schedule
A. FEES
Land Use Category Notes:
Outdoor bulk storage uses shall pay a traffic impact fee based on an assumed 40% floor area. It shall be calculated on a per acre basis (acreage of use X 4 X 43.650 X the applicable HI or WRI fee rate). The fee shall be collected with the business license for outdoor bulk storage use. The fee shall not be collected more than one time on a given area for outdoor bulk storage use.
Heavy industrial category applies to uses that deal with large cargo handling or raw material transfer, storage, manufacture, refining or processing.
Light industrial category applies to uses such as semiconductor manufacturing, machine shops, bottling plant, printing plants, inert material manufacture, laboratory (i.e., research, materials testing), cabinetmakers, etc.
Heavy commercial category applies to establishments such as building material supply, lumber supply, hardware, home improvement stores and nurseries.
General Notes:
Credit against traffic impact fees shall be provided when a building permit for demolition of a previous structure of similar use on the same lot has been obtained within the five years previous to building permit issuance for a new structure.
Traffic impact fees for land uses which do not fit into the above listed categories shall be evaluated by the City Engineer on a case-by-case basis by establishing a ratio of relative impacts, as identified within the ITE Codes, between the proposed land use and a similar land use listed above. Traffic impact fees will not be collected at the time of building permit issuance for a shell building, but will be collected at the time of the building permit for tenant improvements and will be charged at the rate in effect at the time of that permit.
On March 3, 2010, the City Council approved interim traffic fees that reduced the fees by 20%. These reductions were not extended by the City Council at its March 16, 2011 149
Administered by Finance Department Page 2 of 3
meeting; therefore, these Interim Traffic Fees have been automatically adjusted to their previous level effective April 1, 2011, including all applicable adjustments for inflation.

C. TRAFFIC IMPACT FEE ADJUSTMENT FOR TRANSIT
The City anticipates establishing a transit funding program. Should such a program be implemented, adjustments to the traffic impact fee may be negotiated with project applicants who participate in a financing district for transit improvements that reduce traffic generation. Participation may include advance funding, formation of a financing district, or annexation to an existing financing district.
D. URBAN INFILL FEE REDUCTION PROGRAM EXPANSION
The City adopted resolution 24-20 to have a temporary fee reduction in all districts in the Northern part of the City plus Stonelock area. The fee schedule above reflects this reduction program in all districts except for District 1. Resolution 25-50 is expanding the urban infill area to include Southport Industrial Park and Seaway areas.

The water connection fees are supported by the Water System Master Plan 2015 Update, dated August 2017. The water connection fee represents the unit cost of capacity. The unit cost is determined by dividing the value of the facilities by the current number of connections serviced.
The current number of water connections are converted to a standard connection referred to as an equivalent meter unit (EMU). An EMU represents capacity of the smallest meter available, a ¾” meter. Larger meters represent more EMU’s depending on how their rated capacities compare with one EMU.
The cost of an EMU is determined by dividing the value of the water system facilities by the number of EMU’s served. Fees in this study shall be adjusted each succeeding January 1st, commencing January 1, 2019, to reflect inflationary costs. The fees shall be increased by the ratio which the Engineering News-Record’s Construction Cost Index (20 cities) for the most recent July index (13556).

BACKGROUND
After years of City investments in planning, property acquisitions, remediation, and infrastructure improvements, the City is advancing a development opportunity on 8.6 acres of City-owned land included in the Grand Gateway area. The City declared the Grand Gateway properties as exempt surplus land on June 28, 2023, through Resolution 23-52, and released a Request for Proposals to acquire and develop the land later that year. On June 26, 2024, the City entered into an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (“ENA”) with SKK Developments (“SKK”) and UrbanCore Development, LLC (“UrbanCore”), for SKK and UrbanCore to acquire Grand Gateway properties to construct a development comprising 455 residential units (including 114 affordable units), ground-floor retail space, a hotel, public plaza, shared-use parking structure, and a potential park, as depicted in Attachment 6. As established in the ENA, UrbanCore is pursuing the affordable housing development on Development Block 2, while SKK is leading the development of market-rate housing, retail, a hotel, and other public uses on the remaining parcels.
For several years, the cities of West Sacramento, Sacramento and Sacramento Regional Transit (“SacRT”) have worked together on the Downtown Riverfront Streetcar Project (“Streetcar Project”). The Streetcar Project extends SacRT’s light rail transit network to West Sacramento, connecting Sutter Health Park to key destinations such as the Golden1 Center and Sacramento Valley Station. To date, the Streetcar Project partners have completed environmental review and designs for the project. SacRT will submit these plans to the Federal Transportation Administration (“FTA”) for review and approval with construction estimated to begin in 2027, and operations commencing in 2029. Estimated project cost is approximately $164 million, with $32 million in local 161 AHSC Partnership Agreement

To facilitate funding of the Streetcar Project, Grand Gateway affordable housing, and additional bike, pedestrian and transit stop improvements, the City, UrbanCore, and SacRT (collectively, “Project Partners”) are partnering to submit an application for the AHSC grant program. AHSC is a State grant program administered by the Strategic Growth Council (“SGC”) and implemented by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”). AHSC is a keystone initiative of the State’s Cap-and-Trade emissions reduction program, climate and equity strategy. The Notice of Funding Availability (“NOFA”) for AHSC Round 9 was released on March 25, 2025, with applications due on May 28, 2025. Grant award notices are expected in December 2025.
In total, AHSC Round 9 will fund up to $775 million in qualified projects across the State, with maximum perproject awards up to $50 million. The grant program funds affordable housing, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian projects near job centers and other services. The City was awarded the AHSC grant in 2014 which helped facilitate the development of the West Gateway Place Phase 1 apartments, and surrounding active transportation improvements.
For the past few months, the Project Partners have been working with a State-funded, third-party technical advisor to prepare for the grant application. The AHSC technical advisor is assisting the Project Partners with scoping improvements that maximize grant scoring and ensuring the application meets rigorous grant requirements. As stipulated by AHSC guidelines, SGC may award up to $50 million per qualified application with up to $35 million for affordable housing development costs and up to $15 million for transportation improvements and other programs. Under grant provisions, qualified projects must include affordable housing development and sustainable transportation improvements (e.g., bicycle, pedestrian, transit improvements), among other criteria.
The Project Partners’ application is anticipated to include the following funding requests:
Project Element Amount*
Grand Gateway Affordable Housing $24,600,000
Transportation Improvements and Programs
Electric Streetcar Vehicle Purchase $8,700,000
Streetcar Project Station Improvements (SacRT led) $50,000 Bike and Pedestrian Improvements in West Sacramento $4,746,000 Bus Shelter Improvements in West Sacramento $1,004,000
AHSC Programs $500,000
Subtotal Transportation Improvements and Programs $15,000,000 Total Grant Funds Request $39,600,000
*Dollar amounts shown rounded to the nearest $1,000. Amounts may be subject to change.
The Grand Gateway affordable housing development is proposed to have 114 units (24 one-bedroom, 60 twobedroom and 29 three-bedroom) serving households that earn between 30- to 60-percent Area Median Income (“AMI”). The table below shows the rent limits for the proposed affordable housing units, based on 2024 State Rent Limits (typically published annually in April-May). Yolo County median rent limit (100% AMI) is provided for additional context.
Rent Level 1 Bdrm. 2 Bdrm. 3 Bdrm.
30% AMI $649 $778 $899
50% AMI $1,081 $1,297 $1,499
60% AMI $1,298 $1,557 $1,799
Median (100% AMI) $2,162 $2,594 $2,998
As required by the AHSC grant guidelines, affordable housing developments must demonstrate approval of environmental clearances by grant application. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15183 provides an exemption from additional environmental review for projects that are consistent with the 162
AHSC Partnership Agreement
April 30, 2025
development density established by existing zoning, community plan or general plan policies for which an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified. On February 19, 2025, Council adopted the Grand Gateway Zoning District and associated environmental analysis to streamline Grand Gateway redevelopment, including the affordable housing improvements.
A primary focus and criteria for AHSC grant scoring is the projected greenhouse gas emission reductions that will result from the funded project. As indicated earlier in this report, SacRT has an approximate $8 million funding shortfall after accounting for committed local, State, and federal funding. With AHSC grant funds, SacRT intends to fund the acquisition of two electric streetcar vehicles that will operate on the Streetcar Project once completed.
Currently, each vehicle is estimated to cost approximately $5.8 million. Under AHSC grant provisions, applicants must fully fund the first electric vehicle purchase and may count a second vehicle towards the greenhouse gas reduction calculation if the applicant uses grant funds toward at least 50-percent of the second vehicle cost. As a result, SacRT’s grant fund request is approximately $8.7 million.
With the remaining transportation improvements and programs budget ($6.25 million), the City plans to fund a series of improvements and programs within one mile of the Grand Gateway affordable housing development site, including bicycle and pedestrian improvements, installing new bus shelters, and implement a foreclosure/eviction and landlord anti-harassment counseling program, and provide additional services to future Grand Gateway affordable housing residents. To facilitate the Project Partners’ pursuit of the AHSC grant program, staff requests Council’s recommendation of the actions included in this report, as detailed in the Analysis section.
ANALYSIS
The actions requested in this report will facilitate the Project Partners’ pursuit of the AHSC grant program to help advance multiple key City priorities, including Grand Gateway Development and Light Rail Extension/Transit Expansion, and improvements identified in the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Trails Master Plan (“BPTMP”) and Sidewalks and Transportation Equity Program (“STEP”).
AHSC Partnership Agreement and Amendment to Grand Gateway Development ENA Typically, affordable housing developers are the lead applicants for the AHSC grant program. Local agencies may participate under a few partnership participation options. For this grant cycle, the City and SacRT will participate with UrbanCore through separate partnership agreements. The AHSC Partnership Agreement stipulates that, if awarded, the local agency will be responsible for delivering the transportation-related projects included in the grant application, and that the local agency has experience delivering similar projects.
Additionally, the AHSC grant guidelines have stringent affordable housing developer requirements related to past project experience. The current ENA with UrbanCore includes the partner development firm, E. Smith & Company, Inc. (“ESC”), that has a strong portfolio of projects that align well with the AHSC grant requirements.
At the request of UrbanCore and ESC, the parties recommend that the project team apply for the grant under ESC. Staff and the City Attorney have reviewed ESC’s experience and agree with the recommendation to apply for the grant under this entity. This requires the current ENA to be amended to reflect ESC as the primary development partner for the Grand Gateway Development affordable housing component. Additionally, staff recommends extending the term of the ENA from June 26, 2025, to March 31, 2026, to allow the City and Grand Gateway Development project team sufficient time to refine financing options based on the AHSC grant application outcome. The AHSC Partnership Agreement is included in this report as Attachment 1 and the Grand Gateway ENA Amendment is included as Attachment 2.
Financing Commitment Letter, Predevelopment Loan Agreement, and Grand Gateway Affordable Housing Resident Services
The City and ESC have identified the need for local funding support to advance multiple components of the Project Partners’ AHSC grant application and to strengthen the application’s competitiveness:
1. The AHSC program includes scoring criteria for utilizing surplus or exempt surplus land for an affordable housing development. Additional points are achievable if the local agency donates the land to the affordable housing developer. Therefore, to maximize the scoring eligibility of the Project Partners’ grant application, staff recommends disposing of the Grand Gateway affordable housing development site located at 817 West Capitol Avenue for a nominal value, while including the market-value of the land as a loan (“Land Note”) to the developer to be repaid over a 55-year period. A Financing Commitment Letter for the Land Note is included as Attachment 3 which summarizes these terms.
The City has commissioned an appraisal for determining the market value of the land, and the report is expected to be completed by early May. Preliminary estimates for the property value are $3,380,000. 163 AHSC Partnership Agreement
April 30, 2025
This estimate is based on a previous appraisal for the property, prepared in 2020 for the City. The value in the Land Note will be updated based on the findings of the forthcoming appraisal.
2. ESC must commission additional studies (e.g., market analysis) required by the grant and conduct iterative architectural designs to ensure their proposed project maximizes AHSC scoring criteria for family-sized units (e.g., three-bedroom units) and other considerations. As a result, ESC has requested the City provide a predevelopment loan in the amount of $50,000 to cover these upfront expenses. The predevelopment loan would be funded from the City’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund and would be unsecured during the predevelopment period. Should the predevelopment loan not proceed beyond the predevelopment phase, the Predevelopment Loan Agreement will includes provisions giving the City ownership of the plans and other work products from this work generated from the City’s investment; if the project is successfully funded and moves forward, the loan amount would be folded into a separate gap financing loan, at which point the amount would be secured by a deed of trust. A Term Sheet for the predevelopment loan is included in Attachment 4.
Prior to proceeding with the sale of the land, ESC will be required to enter into a Disposition and Development Agreement, as well as additional gap financing loan agreements with the City, as needed.
The Land Note and Predevelopment Loan Agreement will be brought back to Council for consideration prior to close of escrow on this site.
3. The AHSC grant requires that award recipients provide at least one transit pass per subsidized unit and free high-speed internet for the affordable housing development for three years. ESC and the City estimate the costs to provide these services will be $400,000 in total. The Project Partners will offset $300,000 of these costs with AHSC grant and developer funds. To make up the gap, the City recommends appropriating up to $100,000 from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, if awarded the AHSC grant, to support these affordable housing resident services.
Appropriating Funds for Bike, Pedestrian, and Bus Shelter Improvements A key component of the AHSC grant program is to fund active transportation (e.g., walking, cycling) and transit improvements within 1-mile of the proposed affordable housing development to reduce a community’s reliance on automobile travel, and ensure the community benefitting from the AHSC funding can safely access key services without a vehicle. The table below summarizes AHSC’s active transportation and transit improvement scoring criteria and included for reference are the maximum point threshold requirements for each category.
Active Transportation Criteria Description Maximum Point Threshold Context Sensitive Bikeways Protected bike lanes At least 2 lane miles Safe and Accessible Walkways Repairing or constructing new, accessible sidewalks or trails
At least 2,000 linear feet
New Walkways New walkways or trails where none
previously existed
At least 1,000 linear feet
Bus Network Improvements Bus route or shelter improvements 10 new bus shelters City staff reviewed multiple transportation planning documents and related efforts, including the BPTMP and STEP, to identify feasible bicycle and pedestrian improvements that can meet the maximum point thresholds for each category and be completed within the grant program’s performance period. As a result, staff recommends including the CIPs below in the AHSC grant application, highlighting the project components that address AHSC scoring criteria.
1. West Capitol Avenue Regional Connection Bike and Pedestrian Safety Improvements (CIP-14057) Install delineators to the painted buffered bike lanes on West Capitol Avenue between Interstate-80 and Jefferson Boulevard, creating approximately 5.2 lane miles of protected bike lanes.
2. STEP Project 3 – Broderick (CIP-14056)
Install approximately 1.2 miles new of sidewalks in the Broderick neighborhood.
3. North 5th Street Connectivity and Complete Street (CIP-16013) Install approximately 0.9 lane miles of Class IV protected cycle track on 5th Street.
4. New Bus Shelters (CIP-01349)
Install 10 new bus shelters and surrounding ADA improvements. 164
AHSC Partnership Agreement
April 30, 2025
Combined, the proposed projects achieve the total maximum points for active transportation and transit improvements for the AHSC grant application and create approximately 6.1 lane miles of Context Sensitive Bikeways and 1.4 miles of Safe and Accessible Walkways, with 1.2 miles of New Walkways, far exceeding the grant thresholds to achieve maximum points for bicycle and pedestrian improvements.
Additionally, the AHSC grant program requires improvements to bus transit networks. Though Project Partners plan to use a significant portion of grant funds towards electric streetcar vehicle purchases, AHSC requires applicants to improve bus networks, as not all California communities have rail transit networks. Therefore, the City plans to use grant funds to install 10 new bus shelters in West Sacramento, which staff has coordinated with Yolo Transportation District (“YTD”) staff. Maps providing preliminary alignment and locations of these improvements are provided in this report as Attachment 7.
As provided in the AHSC grant guidelines, local agencies are not required to certify completion and demonstration of environmental clearances (CEQA or NEPA) for bicycle, pedestrian, or transit improvements when submitting grant applications. However, local agencies must complete environmental clearance for such improvements prior to receiving grant funds. Staff will complete the required environmental documentation for the AHSC improvements described above on a project level basis. Below lists the environmental clearance status of each related improvement associated with this grant application. Streetcar Project – Environmentally cleared through the project’s Environmental Assessment. West Capitol Avenue Regional Connection Bike and Pedestrian Safety Improvements; STEP Project 3-Broderick (CIP-14056); Bus Shelter Improvements (CIP-01349) – Staff anticipates these improvements will be exempt from CEQA under Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) which provides an exemption for repairs or alterations to streets, sidewalks, bicycle and pedestrian trails, pedestrian crossings, transit improvements and Section 15304 (Minor Alterations to Land) which provides an exemption for grading and the creation of bicycle lanes on existing rights-of-way. North 5th Street Connectivity and Complete Street (CIP-16013) – Environmental review is currently in progress and is anticipated to be completed in summer 2025.
Environmental Considerations
The actions recommended in this item are not a project subject to CEQA because they are not an activity that may cause either a direct or foreseeable physical change in the environment (Pub. Resources Code, §21065; CEQA Guidelines §§15060(c), 15378(a)). As described in the Background and Analysis sections, projects supported by these actions have addressed completed environmental review, or will prior to receiving grant funds.
Strategic Plan Integration
The recommended actions are consistent with multiple City Council Strategic Plan goals, including the 2021- 2024 Strategic Priorities of Light Rail Extension/Transit Expansion and the 2021-2024 Management Priorities of Grant Gateway Development; and the 2021 Strategic Priority and 2022 Management Priority of Mobility Action Plan Implementation. The recommended actions further support the City‘s mission statement: “to provide Quality Municipal Services, Quality City Infrastructure and Facilities, and to Inspire Community Improvements that add value to the lives of our residents.”
Alternatives
The Council’s primary alternatives to the recommended actions include:
1. Request modifications to the proposed projects included in the AHSC grant application; or
2. Elect to not submit an AHSC grant application at this time.
These alternatives are not recommended as the proposed projects identified for the AHSC grant application are not only identified as high priority projects in multiple Council Strategic Plans, but they have been strategically selected to maximize grant application competitiveness and ensure grant program performance period requirements are met. Additionally, the AHSC grant application deadline is May 28, 2025. Delaying the recommended actions will result in the City forfeiting an opportunity to leverage significant public funding for the projects.
Coordination and Review
This report was prepared by the Economic Development and Housing Department in coordination with the Community Development Department, Finance Department, Capital Projects Department, the City Attorney, as well as SacRT, YTD and the Grand Gateway Development team. 165

Budget/Cost Impact
The total estimated costs of the active transportation and bus shelter improvements are approximately $12,410,000 when accounting for design, engineering, potential right-of-way acquisition, construction management, and construction costs. As mentioned previously in this report, approximately $5,850,000 of AHSC grant funds are available for active transportation and bus shelter improvements. After accounting for existing appropriations and other funding for some of the projects, the City proposes addressing a funding gap of approximately $3,412,000, as reflected in the table below.

**Other Funding for North 5th Street Connectivity and Complete Streets Project includes revenues from the SACOG Four-County State Funding Program that will be released in July 2025. Staff will program those funds for this improvement in March 2026.
To address the $3,412,000 funding gap as proposed above, staff recommends City Council adoption of Resolution 25-50 (Attachment 4) appropriating $3,412,000 from the Measure V Fund. Measure V is intended to fund streetcar and flood protection improvements. Since a significant portion of the AHSC grant funds will contribute toward the Streetcar Project, this funding appropriation is necessary to assist the Project Partners finalize financing and delivery. The current balance of the Measure V Fund is approximately $6.3 million after accounting for the approved internal borrowing capacity approved and set aside to pre-fund Measure O projects.
The City is committing to a Predevelopment Loan Agreement with ESC in the amount of $50,000 and to provide affordable housing development resident services up to $100,000 to be funded by the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, and the current balance of this fund is approximately $1,968,477. Typically, affordable housing development projects of this scale require significant local funding contributions. If awarded the AHSC grant, the City limits local funding contribution that may be used on other affordable housing developments in West Sacramento. Additionally, the City has submitted a Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program (“PLHA”) grant application to the State. Funds from PLHA grant may support affordable housing predevelopment activities, construction, and operating subsidies. The City has committed these funds to support Grand Gateway affordable housing subsidies or additional predevelopment costs pending PLHA award.

AMENDMENT TO
EXCLUSIVE NEGOTIATING AGREEMENT
This Amendment to Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (“Amendment”) is entered into as of April 30, 2025, by and between the City of West Sacramento, a California general law city (the “City”), SKK Developments, LLC, a California limited liability company (“SKK”), UrbanCore Development, LLC, a California limited liability company (“UrbanCore”), and E. Smith & Company, Inc., a California corporation (“ESC”) (SKK, UrbanCore, and ESC may be individually referred to herein as a “Developer” and together referred to herein as “Developers”). The City and Developers are herein referred to collectively as “Parties.”
RECITALS
A. On or about June 26, 2024, the City, SKK, and UrbanCore entered into that certain Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (the “ENA”) in connection with SKK’s and UrbanCore’s interest in purchasing up to 8.6 acres of property for the development of the Grand Gateway Village, a mixed-income, mixed-use development (the “Property”).
B. Pursuant to the terms of the ENA, the Exclusive Negotiating Period was for a period ending the later of June 26, 2025, or timeframes upon which the City completes Property pre-development activities, as stipulated in Sections 1.2 and 4.4 of the ENA.
C. The City desires partnering with the Property affordable housing Developer to apply for the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (“AHSC”) grant program and other potential grant opportunities to support Property affordable housing development located on a portion of the Property, at 817 West Capitol Avenue (“Affordable Housing Development Site”), and transit and other improvements in the surrounding area.
D. ESC, an UrbanCore development partner in past projects, has direct project experience that meets the AHSC grant program requirements. UrbanCore, the current Developer included in the ENA to acquire and develop affordable housing on a portion of the Property, has elected not to serve as the Developer for the AHSC grant application.
E. The Developers have therefore requested, and the City has agreed, to replace UrbanCore with ESC as the Developer for the affordable housing project. ESC will be the AHSC grant program applicant and must demonstrate site control of the Affordable Housing Development Site, which may be accomplished through an ENA, per AHSC grant program guidelines.
F. The City has requested, and the Developers have agreed, that the Parties further extend the Exclusive Negotiating Period through March 31, 2026, to allow time for the Parties to determine Property development financing options pending AHSC grant program award.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, conditions and terms set forth herein and for other valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the City and the Developers each hereby agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Capitalized Terms. Except as otherwise specifically defined herein, all capitalized terms contained in this Amendment shall have the same meaning as set forth in the ENA.
