U.S. Fish and Wildlife and Yolo Habitat Conservancy Appendix C

VALLEY ELDERBERRY LONGHORN BEETLE
On reserve lands whose primary conservation values include valley elderberry longhorn beetle conservation, agricultural and other activities that would potentially result in take of valley elderberry longhorn beetle will not occur within a 100-foot buffer around elderberry shrubs, thereby avoiding take. Management activities which would not result in take of valley elderberry longhorn beetle (e.g., hand weeding, planting native plants) may occur within the 100-foot buffer If existing, ongoing activities (e.g., agricultural activities, such as a farming road) encroach within 100 feet of elderberry shrubs on reserve land, the valley elderberry longhorn beetle habitat within 100 feet of such activities will not count toward the habitat protection commitment for this species. The Conservancy will coordinate with the wildlife agencies if elderberry shrubs are present within the reserve system on or near cultivated lands to develop additional protection measures as needed to maintain the conservation values of the easement and comply with the Yolo HCP/NCCP.

CALIFORNIA TIGER SALAMANDER
Reserve system activities will avoid harming, harassing, injuring, or killing California tiger salamanders. If California tiger salamanders are present in a pond or other water feature on a site enrolled in the reserve system, the management plan for the site will specify water management measures intended to reduce the potential establishment of predatory non-native species and will restrict pond maintenance activities, and limit ground disturbing activities to the dry season to minimize the potential for harming California tiger salamanders that may be actively moving through uplands. In the event that a salamander needs to be moved out of harm’s way to avoid injuring or killing individuals, a qualified biologist will relocate the salamander to nearby habitat. The Conservancy will coordinate with the wildlife agencies where California tiger salamanders may be present within the reserve system, to develop additional protection measures as needed to maintain the conservation values of the easement and comply with the Yolo HCP/NCCP.

GIANT GARTER SNAKE
Canal and ditch maintenance on cultivated lands typically involves removal of vegetation, debris, and sediment from water conveyance channels. To minimize effects on giant garter snake, these activities within giant garter snake habitat will be limited to the giant garter snake’s active season (May 1 to October 1) when possible. To minimize the take of giant garter snake, farmers and land managers on lands in the reserve system will limit maintenance of conveyance structures located within giant garter snake habitat to clearing one side along at least 80% of the linear distance of the channels during each maintenance year (e.g., the left bank of a canal is maintained in the first year and the right bank in the second year). In the event that a giant garter snake needs to be moved out of harm’s way to avoid injuring or killing individuals, a qualified biologist will relocate the giant garter snake to nearby habitat.

For channel maintenance activities conducted within giant garter snake habitat, farmers on cultivated land within giant garter snake habitat in the reserve system will place removed material at least 200 feet from permanent aquatic habitat. For portions of channels that do not have previously used spoil disposal sites and the area has been checked by a qualified biologist to confirm that giant garter snakes are not in harm’s way, removed materials may be placed along channels in areas that are at least 200 feet from permanent aquatic habitat and where materials will not re-enter the canal because of stormwater run-off. The Conservancy will coordinate with the wildlife agencies where giant garter snakes may be present within the reserve system on or near cultivated lands, to develop additional protection measures as needed to maintain the conservation values of the easement and comply with the Yolo HCP/NCCP.

WESTERN POND TURTLE
Western pond turtles may occur within canals and ditches in the reserve system. To minimize the take of western pond turtle, farmers and land managers on lands in the reserve system will limit maintenance of conveyance structures located within western pond turtle habitat to clearing one side along at least 80% of Yolo HCP/NCCP Final Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report April 2018 C-13

SWAINSON’S HAWK AND WHITE-TAILED KITE
Swainson’s hawk and white-tailed kite prey species can be considered agricultural pests and rodenticides are sometimes used as part of general agricultural operations to control pest populations. Rodenticides both reduce available food resources and can directly harm individual Swainson’s hawks and white-tailed kites that ingest prey that have been poisoned by rodenticides. The use of rodenticides is prohibited on all lands in the reserve system, including cultivated lands, to avoid effects to Swainson’s hawk and white-tailed kite.

The removal or cutting of trees on lands in the reserve system is prohibited except as reasonably necessary and/or prudent for (1) fire breaks, (2) prevention or treatment of disease; or (3) removing vegetation and debris which poses a health and safety hazard or a threat to standard agricultural operations including, but not limited to, downed trees or limbs. In cases where the cutting or removal of a tree is deemed necessary because of one of the reasons mentioned above, the removal of the tree shall not occur during the Swainson’s hawk or white-tailed kite nesting season (February 1 through October 1) to avoid disturbance during the breeding season. No standing tree shall be removed until it has been verified that the tree is not an active Swainson’s hawk or white-tailed kite nest tree. The Conservancy will coordinate with the wildlife agencies where Swainson’s hawks or white-tailed kites are present within the reserve system on or near cultivated lands, to develop additional protection measures as needed to maintain the conservation values of the easement and comply with the Yolo HCP/NCCP.

WESTERN BURROWING OWL
Farmers and land managers on lands in the reserve system will avoid disturbing burrows occupied by western burrowing owls. The Conservancy will coordinate with the wildlife agencies if burrowing owls are found on actively farmed lands within the reserve system to develop additional protection measures as needed to maintain the conservation values of the easement and comply with the Yolo HCP/NCCP.

TRICOLORED BLACKBIRD
Tricolored blackbirds can nest in triticale and other types of grain crops, although this has not been documented in Yolo County. In the rare event that tricolored blackbirds nest in cultivated lands within the reserve system, the farmer will delay harvesting the crop and other agricultural practices a sufficient distance from the active nest to avoid harming, harassing, injuring, or killing individuals until the tricolored blackbirds have finished nesting (i.e., fledglings are capable of acquiring food on their own). A qualified biologist will confirm the distance in which harvesting can occur and the time at which tricolored blackbirds have finished nesting (and therefore when the remaining harvest may occur). The Conservancy will coordinate with the wildlife agencies if tricolored blackbirds are found within the reserve system on or near actively farmed lands, to develop additional protection measures as needed to maintain the conservation values of the easement and comply with the Yolo HCP/NCCP.

TO: THE MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: May 19, 2026
ITEM #: K.11
SUBJECT: Annual Housing Progress Report

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council receive the 2025 Housing Element Annual Progress Report update. No formal action is required.

Staff Contact:

Erika Bumgardner, Deputy Community Development Director, (530) 661-5886, [email protected]

Background:

California Government Code section 65400 requires each city and county to prepare an Annual Progress Report (APR) on the status and progress of Housing Element implementation. The Housing Element APR reports progress toward the jurisdiction’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), housing development applications and approvals, permits issued by affordability level, and implementation of Housing Element programs. The report covering the prior calendar year is due to the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI) by April 1 each year.

The City Council’s review provides a forum to discuss housing production trends, implementation progress, and potential policy or process improvements that could support continued housing development across all income levels. This update is informational and is intended to support broader Planning Commission and City Council awareness of housing trends and implementation priorities.

No formal action is required.

Discussion:

The purpose of this staff report is to provide the City Council with an annual housing update based on the City’s 2025 Housing Element Annual Progress Report submitted to HCD and LCI.

The City’s sixth-cycle Regional Housing Needs Allocation for the 2021–2029 planning period is 3,087 units. Through the 2025 reporting year, the City has issued permits for 979 units, leaving 2,108 units remaining across all income categories. The total annual permitting slowed from 398 units in 2022 to 247 units in 2023, 145 units in 2024, and 101 units in 2025. While some of this change reflects the normal timing of larger projects and broader market conditions, the trend provides a useful opportunity for the City to review pipeline projects, funding tools, and implementation priorities.

Housing production has slowed in part because the Spring Lake neighborhood is nearing buildout, with one low-density subdivision remaining and three high-density multifamily sites still available. At the same time, the Woodland Research and Technology Park Specific Plan area is preparing to initiate development. That area is entitled for more than 1,600 residential units. However, initial residential construction is likely another year out from breaking ground. This transition between major growth areas contributes to the current production cycle and timing gap.

Page 658 ends

Even with slower near-term permit activity, the City maintains a meaningful entitled housing pipeline.

Eleven multifamily infill development projects, including both income-restricted and market-rate projects, are fully entitled and able to move forward when market conditions allow or when funding becomes available, including potential state and/or federal funding support. Planning staff have also met with numerous interested residential builders regarding other opportunity housing sites throughout the city to help identify a clear and efficient path for approval.

The 2025 reporting year included 101 units toward RHNA progress, consisting of 12 very low-income units (Freeman Garden Court, aka Opportunity Village), 21 moderate-income units (Accessory Dwelling Units), and 68 above moderate-income units (primarily single family homes in Spring Lake, some infill). No low-income units were reported as permitted in 2025. As with prior years, the City’s remaining need is concentrated in the lower- and moderate-income categories, particularly very low- income and low-income housing.

RHNA Progress Through 2025
The APR summary shows the following RHNA progress through the 2025 reporting year:

Income Category RHNA Allocation Permitted to Date Remaining RHNA Percent Achieved Very Low (including
Extremely Low)
663 125 538 18.9%
Low 399 78 321 19.5%
Moderate 601 186 415 30.9%
Above Moderate 1,424 590 834 41.4%
Total 3,087 979 2,108 31.7%

Annual permit activity by reporting year is summarized below:

Reporting Year Total Units Permitted
2021 88
2022 398
2023 247

Page 659 ends

2024 145
2025 101

The 2025 total of 101 units is lower than the prior three reporting years. Staff recommends continuing to monitor this trend in connection with entitlement activity, building permit applications, financing conditions, infrastructure timing, and the conversion of entitled projects into building permits.

A key factor in the slower pace is that the Spring Lake neighborhood, which has generated a substantial share of recent residential production, is approaching buildout. Remaining opportunities in Spring Lake include one low-density subdivision and three high-density multifamily sites. The next major residential growth area, the Woodland Research and Technology Park Specific Plan, is entitled for more than 1,600 residential units and is preparing to move into development; however, residential construction in that area is not expected to break ground for approximately another year. 2025 Housing Activity and Key Themes
Several themes emerged from the 2025 reporting year and from the City’s recent housing work:
• Housing production continued, but at a slower pace than recent peak years. Larger multifamily and affordable housing projects can create year-to-year swings depending on entitlement, financing, tax credit, and construction timing.
• The slowdown also reflects a transition between major housing growth areas: Spring Lake is nearing buildout, and the Woodland Research and Technology Park Specific Plan is entitled for 1,600+ residential units but is not yet at the residential construction stage. • The City remains ahead of some early-cycle production benchmarks overall, with 979 units permitted to date; however, additional emphasis is needed on very low-, low-, and moderate- income production to meet remaining RHNA obligations.
• The City’s recent affordable housing work has focused on leveraging local housing funds to improve competitiveness for outside funding, including state, federal, philanthropic, and tax credit resources.
• The Yolano Donnelly and Tupelo Family Apartments efforts remain important implementation opportunities because they combine affordable housing production, neighborhood revitalization, transit access, health services, and infrastructure improvements. • Ongoing review of trends over time can help the City respond to slower production periods by reassessing internal processes, funding priorities, infrastructure readiness, and opportunity- site support.

Affordable Housing and Funding Update
The City has continued to use housing funds strategically to support affordable housing production and to leverage additional funding, including:
• Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fee Fund current balance: $4,141,808 ($3.2 million of which is currently encumbered, see below)
• Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fee Fund revenues received during the reporting period (Jan–Dec 2025): $273,917

Page 660 ends

• Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fee Fund commitments or encumbrances: $3,200,000 (Tupelo and Vista del Robles)
• Permanent Local Housing Allocation: Throughout 2025, over $385,000 in Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds were distributed to support ongoing emergency shelter operations at the Yolo Wayfarer Center, as part of a multi-year contract of up to $513,576. The City disbursed a total of $900,000 in City funding to support Freeman Garden Courts, including PLHA funds, to advance construction of new affordable housing. • Community Development Block Grant: In 2025, a $473,643 CDBG agreement was awarded and finalized. The City’s 2025-2029 CDBG 5-Year Consolidated Plan, submitted to the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), entitles the City of Woodland to an estimated $2.4 million of additional CDBG funding over the course of the next 5 years. • Continuum of Care (CoC): In 2025, the City secured a $377,137 HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) grant to fund supportive services associated with the East Beamer Way Permanent Supportive Housing units.

Yolano Donnelly / Tupelo Family Apartments
The Yolano Donnelly neighborhood revitalization effort and the Tupelo Family Apartments project continue to represent major housing implementation efforts. Tupelo is anticipated to provide 73 units, including 72 income-restricted affordable units and one manager’s unit, and is intended to serve families earning up to 80 percent of area median income. The project is also tied to broader efforts to improve mobility, resident services, health access, and neighborhood infrastructure in the Armfield/Lemen/Yolano Donnelly area.

To date, Yolo County Housing (YCH) has secured and leveraged over $30 Million in public and private funding commitments to support the Tupelo and Yolano Donnelly revitalization efforts, including a $1.5 million commitment from the City’s Housing Trust Fund.

Housing Element Implementation
The Housing Element includes programs intended to facilitate a range of housing types, support affordable housing production, remove constraints, promote fair housing, and coordinate infrastructure and public services with planned growth. Key implementation topics for continued City Council awareness include:
• Maintaining an adequate site inventory and monitoring project activity on housing opportunity sites.
• Supporting infill and redevelopment projects, including underutilized commercial or residential sites where housing can be added near services and transit. • Continuing to evaluate objective development standards, processing timelines, and entitlement procedures to ensure the City remains responsive to housing production needs. • Using local housing funds to leverage outside resources and close financing gaps for affordable housing projects.
• Coordinating housing implementation with climate, mobility, infrastructure, and economic development goals.
• Tracking production trends by income category so that staff and policymakers can respond proactively to slower periods and remaining RHNA gaps.

Attachment 2 to this report, Program Implementation Status, provides an in-depth summary of Housing Element implementation status, including key objectives and quantified outcomes for each

stated goal and policy.

Entitled Multifamily Infill Pipeline
In addition to the RHNA units already permitted, the City has 11 fully entitled multifamily infill development projects that may advance when market conditions allow or when project financing and outside funding sources, including state and/or federal funding support, become available. These projects provide an important near-term pipeline while larger growth areas transition toward construction.

The entitled multifamily infill pipeline includes the following projects. Additional project information, including project renderings/elevations can be found on the City's Planning Division web pages:
https://www.cityofwoodland.gov/1021/Development-Projects and https://gis.cityofwoodland.gov/portal/apps/storymaps/stories/e35e776113b140858d5f192a0b63b27c. • Tupelo Family Apartments – 1224-1230 Lemen Avenue
On May 5, 2025, the Planning Division approved a new 73-unit affordable housing development on the undeveloped eastern portion of 1224–1230 Lemen Avenue, within the Corridor Mixed Use-Armfield zone. The project is anticipated to be the first phase of a larger Yolo County Housing Authority proposal to reconfigure and revitalize the Yolano Donnelly neighborhood. The development includes two three-story multifamily buildings with community space, offices, and shared laundry rooms.
• California Multifamily – 508 California Street
On June 17, 2025, the Planning Division approved a five-unit multifamily project in the Residential Medium zone. The project includes a two-story single-family home, a two-story duplex, and two one-story accessory dwelling units.
• Zittio’s Mixed-Use – 25 East Street
On April 10, 2024, the Planning Division approved a mixed-use development at 25 East Street that includes approximately 4,230 square feet of ground-floor commercial space, twelve second-story one-bedroom residential units, and a 3,578-square-foot office/shop space at the east end of the lot.
• Armfield Apartments – 1223 Armfield Avenue
On March 22, 2024, the Planning Division approved a multifamily residential development on a

0.53-acre site. The project includes 21 units and two accessory dwelling units, for a total of 23 housing units, with a mix of studios, one-bedroom units, and two-bedroom units. • Matmor Townhomes – 595 Matmor Road
On February 16, 2024, the Planning Division approved four two-story town homes at 595 Matmor Road, within the Multifamily Residential Zone District. The project includes retention of existing mature landscaping, ground-floor two-car garage parking for each unit, and both private and common open space for residents.
• Community Lane Town homes – 530 Community Lane
On February 15, 2024, the Planning Division approved a 10-unit, three-story town home project at 530 Community Lane, within the Multifamily Residential Zone District. The project includes walk-up units, each with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a small rear patio. The project also includes two approximately 1,196-square-foot accessory dwelling units, mature tree preservation, and water-wise landscaping. The review included staff-level architectural

design review and a staff-level zoning administrator permit for the two large accessory dwelling units.
• Beamer Apartments – 1021 Beamer Street
On February 8, 2024, the Planning Division approved a 40-unit, three-story multifamily residential development at 1021 Beamer Street, within the Corridor Mixed Use-East Street Zone District.
• Cottonwood Apartments – Southeast Corner of Cottonwood Street and Beamer Street On September 28, 2023, the Planning Division approved a 36-unit, three-story multifamily residential development at the south-east corner of Cottonwood Street and Beamer Street, within the High-Density Residential Zone District.
• Cross Court Commons Townhomes – Corner of Elizabeth Way and California Street On January 18, 2023, the Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit/Planned Development, site plan/design review, and associated lot merger for a 32-unit multifamily housing development with three accessory dwelling units at the corner of Elizabeth Way and California Street. The project includes 12 duplex buildings oriented toward California Street, with three accessory dwelling units located behind the duplexes. • East Street Apartments – East Street between Alice Street and Depot Street On January 24, 2022, the Planning Division approved an 83-unit multifamily residential development consisting of three separate four-story apartment buildings with dedicated elevators and laundry facilities on adjacent parcels to be merged into a 1.67-acre project site. • Vista del Robles Phase Two – 310 W. Main Street
On December 4, 2020, the Planning Division approved a 168-unit, three-story multifamily residential development at 310 W. Main Street, within the Corridor Mixed Use-West Main Street Zone District. Phase One, consisting of 72 units on the western end of the project site, was completed in Spring 2024. The remaining phase continues to represent a significant entitled multifamily housing opportunity.

Planning staff have also met with numerous interested residential builders regarding other opportunity housing sites throughout the city. These early consultations help identify site constraints, applicable development standards, entitlement requirements, infrastructure considerations, and a clear and efficient path for approval.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council receive the 2025 Housing Element Annual Progress Report update. No formal action is required.

A.1. Adequate Sites Monitoring
As part of the Code update, ensure
adequate zoning is maintained across all
sites identified in the site inventory to
accommodate the City’s RHNA at all
income levels. Consistent with State law,
require that any request to lower the
minimum density of a site that is counted
towards meeting the City’s RHNA shall
include findings that justify the request,
and must demonstrate the reduction is
consistent with the Housing Element and
the remaining sites identified in the
Housing Element will be adequate to
accommodate the remaining share of the
City’s RHNA, or demonstrate the City has
identified alternative sites.

citywide
Woodland has maintained full zoning capacity to accommodate its entire 6th Cycle Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) of 3,087 units across all income levels — a key benchmark of Housing Element compliance. The City's certified 6th Cycle Housing Element, adopted by the City Council on March 21, 2023 and found in substantial compliance by HCD on April 28, 2023, establishes the land use framework for this commitment.

A major milestone was reached in September 2023, when the City Council adopted the Woodland Research and Technology Park (WRTP) Specific Plan, adding significant residential capacity to the city's housing inventory. The plan area — comprising approximately 350 acres — was formally annexed into
Woodland's city limits on April 29, 2024, adding 165.7 acres of residentially zoned land and the capacity for 1,600+ housing units, including a minimum of 160 lower-income units. This expansion ensures the City can continue to meet and exceed its RHNA obligations through the 2029 planning period.

OBJECTIVE ACHIEVED: Zoning capacity for 3,087+ housing units maintained citywide.

A.2. Comprehensive Zoning Code Update
to Facilitate Housing and Remove
Constraints
Utilize SB2, LEAP , and REAP funding to
ensure a complete update to the City’s
Zoning Code to streamline and facilitate
housing production and variety. l Consider
minimum development densities or other
criteria on identified housing sites to
ensure unit estimates are met. l Provide
expanded residential development
opportunities, including allowing
residential uses in the Community
Commercial Zone and increasing the
allowed density in some low-density areas
to low-medium and medium density, (as
originally allowed in the prior zoning code
and 2035 General Plan). l Update the
Zoning Code standards and review
procedures to facilitate infill development,
provide objective standards, and
streamline new housing development. l
Consider amendments to allow
duplex/triplex/and other unit types in
moderate and high resource areas to
affirmatively further fair housing. (If
amendments are not feasible, develop
alternative strategy to increase access to
housing in high opportunity areas.) l
Amend the Code consistent with Health
and Safety Code Section 17021.5 and
17021.6 to further facilitate housing for
farmworkers. l Incorporate sustainability,
water conservation, and climate
adaptability standards. l Incorporate
Universal Design requirements. l Prepare a
new code that is user friendly and easy for
all users to understand and navigate,
without staff assistance.
150 new residential
units as a result of all
code updates. Includes
at least 5 new missing
middle units. Code
changes will provide
updates citywide with
an emphasis on
increasing the amount
and intensity of
potential residential
development in all
zones and
neighborhoods
In June 2024, the Woodland City Council adopted a
comprehensive, ground-up rewrite of the City's Zoning Code — one of the most significant planning milestones in Woodland's recent history. Funded in part through State SB 2, LEAP , and REAP planning grants, the updated Zoning Code directly implements the goals of the Housing Element and removes barriers to housing production of all types and densities.

Key achievements of the new Zoning Code include:
• Expanded residential opportunities in the Community
Commercial Zone, allowing housing development on
commercially designated lands near jobs and services.
• Upzoning of lower-density areas from 1–8 du/ac to low-medium (5–15 du/ac) and medium density (8.1–19.9 du/ac), increasing housing potential in established neighborhoods.
• By-right duplex approval in low-density residential zones, enabling more "missing middle" housing in neighborhoods that were previously restricted to single-family homes.
• Updated infill standards with greater flexibility on setbacks and lot coverage, making it easier to develop underutilized parcels. • Incorporation of universal design requirements, water conservation standards, and climate resiliency measures. • Establishment of minimum density standards in the downtown (DX) zones of 15 du/ac to ensure meaningful density near transit and services.
• A streamlined, objective-standards-based review process that reduces approval uncertainty and encourages more housing applications.

The impact was immediate: in 2025, the 73-unit Tupelo
Affordable Housing project was approved as a by-right
application — made possible by the new code's objective standards framework.

OBJECTIVE ACHIEVED: 73 affordable units approved in 2025 under the updated code's streamlined process.

the City will identify and rezone additional
sites to address the shortfall of sites to
accommodate the City’s RHNA. The
rezoning program will comply with by-right
and density requirements, pursuant to
Government Code section 65583.2,
subdivisions (h) and (i).

Capacity to
accommodate 837
units at various income
levels during the
planning period,
including at least 160
lower-income units
The Woodland Research and Technology Park (WRTP) Specific Plan represents the largest single addition to Woodland's housing capacity in decades. The City Council adopted the plan on September 5, 2023, and the 350-acre plan area was officially annexed into the City on April 29, 2024 — bringing 165.7 acres of new residentially zoned land into the city's inventory.

The WRTP Specific Plan is designed to accommodate a diverse mix of housing types:
• High-density residential (30+ du/ac): Minimum of 279 units, predominantly rental, serving lower-income households.
• Medium-density residential: Approximately 600 units for moderate-income, primarily for-sale housing.
• Low-density residential: Approximately 500 units for above- moderate income homeownership.

The plan includes a project-specific Affordable Housing Obligation, modeled after the citywide Affordable Housing Ordinance, guaranteeing a minimum of 160 restricted-income units upon full buildout — secured through recorded
development agreements with the City.

This plan area is expected to serve as Woodland's primary growth area for the next 10–15 years, providing the residential capacity necessary to fulfill the City's RHNA commitments and create a complete, walkable mixed-use community on Woodland's
expanding east side.

OBJECTIVE ACHIEVED: Capacity for 1,600+ housing units
secured, including 160+ lower-income units.

A.4. Redevelopment of Non-Vacant Sites
Compile and maintain a list of non-vacant
sites that are candidates for
redevelopment and assess opportunities
and constraints to redevelopment. Notify
owners that their property may be eligible
for redevelopment and the City will assist
in developing, including technical
assistance.

Assist three (3)
property owners with
redevelopment of
non-vacant sites
Woodland is committed to maximizing the housing potential of underutilized and non-vacant sites throughout the city, helping to create a more efficient and sustainable urban form. City staff have actively engaged property owners and prospective
developers to explore redevelopment opportunities that add housing units while revitalizing aging or underperforming properties.

Notable redevelopment projects assisted by the City include:
• East Street Apartments (1021 East Street): Redevelopment of a dilapidated motel into an 83-unit apartment community using State Density Bonus Law. Fully entitled and under development. • 610–614 3rd Street: Redevelopment of an aging 5-unit
multifamily property into 11 units.
• 80-unit multifamily project replacing an underutilized 2-unit residential site.

The City has also provided planning consultation and pre- application review for additional sites including the East Gibson/East Street mall area, 1103 Gum Avenue, 457 Lincoln Avenue, 449 West Street, 801 Main Street, and 19435 East Street.

In partnership with the Yolo County Housing Authority, the City completed the Armfield/Lemen Avenue Neighborhood
Framework Plan in 2023 — funded by a $237,750 SACOG REAP grant. This plan evaluated redevelopment opportunities for 132 existing public housing units at Yolano Village and Donnelly Circle. In September 2024, the Housing Authority received a HUD Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grant to begin a two-year planning process to replace these aging units with approximately 400 new mixed-income homes. The City is an active partner in this transformative effort.

OBJECTIVE: 10+ property owners/developers assisted with non- vacant site redevelopment.

A.5. Maintain and Strengthen the
Affordable Housing Ordinance
Regularly review the Affordable Housing
Ordinance to identify opportunities to
better support affordable housing
production goals and affirmatively further
fair housing while ensuring any changes do
not pose constraints to housing
production.
300 lower-income
housing units citywide
Woodland's Affordable Housing Ordinance is a cornerstone of the City's strategy to ensure that new housing development contributes to the production of homes affordable to lower- income households. The ordinance was updated in December 2024 to give the City greater flexibility in how developers satisfy their inclusionary housing obligation, including an option to develop affordable units off-site — expanding the geographic distribution of affordable housing across the community.

Since the start of the 6th Cycle (May 2021), the City has collected over $3.5 million in affordable housing in-lieu fees, which are deployed through the City's Housing Trust Fund to support affordable housing projects citywide. Recent investments include:
• Vista del Robles Phase I (72 units): Completed in April 2024, this garden-style affordable community was funded with in-lieu fees, $500,000 in City loan funds, and federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credits.
• Freeman Garden Court (334 Freeman Street): In 2024, the City allocated $900,000 in Housing Trust Fund dollars to support 12 very-low income rental units, with construction beginning in 2025.
• East Beamer Way Permanent Supportive Housing (62 units):

Construction began in 2025 for this project serving homeless and special-needs individuals.
• Tupelo Affordable Housing (73 units): Approved in 2025 with $1.5 million in City Housing Trust Fund support, in partnership with the Yolo County Housing Authority.

Approximately 19 additional inclusionary units are committed across approved multifamily projects including East Street Apartments, Beamer Apartments, Cottonwood Apartments, and Armfield Apartments.

The WRTP Specific Plan also includes its own affordable housing obligation guaranteeing a minimum of 160 restricted-income units, and at build out is expected to generate approximately $5 million in fee revenue to support affordable housing development and leverage additional public and private funding sources.

OBJECTIVE: 146+ units constructed or under construction with support from the City's Housing Trust Fund.

A.6. Farmworker Housing Support
Support developer efforts to obtain
financial and technical assistance from
federal and state sources to develop
housing meeting the needs of local
farmworkers. Potential funding and
resources include HCD’s Office of migrant
Services, the Joe Serna, Jr. Farmworker
Housing Grant Program, the California Tax
Credit-Allocation Committee’s
Farmworker Housing Assistance Program,
and the USDA Rural Development
Program.
50 units of farmworker
housing. Depending on
available sites
farmworker housing
may be provided
citywide.

The City recognizes the important role of Woodland's agricultural workforce in the region's economy and is committed to
facilitating the development of safe, affordable housing for farmworker families. Staff has engaged in preliminary discussions with a developer proposing low-income farmworker housing units in the city, with the goal of pursuing funding through State and federal programs including the Joe Serna Jr. Farmworker Housing Grant Program, the USDA Rural Development Program, and
California Tax Credit Allocation Committee farmworker housing programs.

OBJECTIVE: Preliminary discussions underway; no units
constructed to date. The City will continue to actively promote and support qualifying farmworker housing proposals.

A.7. Density Bonus Ordinance
Amend the City’s Density Bonus ordinance
to comply with the latest changes to State
law. Continue to regularly promote the use
of the City’s Density Bonus Incentive
Program as contained in Section

17.104.070 of the Zoning Ordinance to
qualified or potential applicants. Bonus
incentives are available to developers for
including lower income units in their
projects throughout the city. The City will
proactively contact housing developers to
advertise the Density Bonus Program. The
City will provide a one-page fact sheet that
summarizes the Program and options of
density bonuses for distribution to
developers at the City’s permit counter.
30 lower income units
throughout the city.

The City's Density Bonus Ordinance is a powerful tool that enables developers to construct more affordable housing by offering additional units, reduced parking requirements, and other regulatory concessions in exchange for including income- restricted units in their projects. In February 2025, the City updated its Density Bonus Ordinance to reflect the latest State Density Bonus Law — ensuring Woodland's incentive framework is fully aligned with current State requirements and provides the maximum flexibility to developers pursuing affordable housing.

A concise, one-page Density Bonus fact sheet is available at the Community Development Department's public counter and on the City's website, making the program accessible to all property owners and developers.

Recent projects that have utilized Density Bonus Law:
• Tupelo Affordable Housing (73 units, approved May 2025):

Requested and received a 22.5% parking reduction under State Density Bonus Law.
• East Street Apartments (83 units, approved 2022): Used Density Bonus Law to achieve additional units and reduced parking requirements.
• Beamer Apartments (40 units, approved 2024): Utilized Density Bonus to reduce on-site parking and setback requirements.

OBJECTIVE ACHIEVED: 73+ lower-income units approved with direct support from Density Bonus Law provisions.

Woodland takes a hands-on, partnership-oriented approach to facilitating the construction, preservation, and rehabilitation of affordable housing for the community's most vulnerable
residents. The City provides a combination of financial assistance, technical support, land dedication, and regulatory streamlining to make affordable housing projects financially feasible.

Key accomplishments during the 6th Cycle include:

• Vista del Robles Phase I (72 units, completed April 2024): This garden-style, income-restricted community at 310 West Main Street — featuring 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom units — was developed in partnership with Chelsea Investment Corporation. The City provided a $500,000 loan and technical assistance, with financing also provided by the California Community
Reinvestment Corporation and federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (CTCAC). The City has committed an additional $1.7 million in Housing Trust Fund dollars and land dedication to support a Phase II expansion of 96 additional units.

• East Beamer Way Permanent Supportive Housing (61 units, placed in service June 2024): The City served as the Grantee for a $15,770,467 Homekey award to develop 61 permanent
supportive homes for homeless, chronically homeless, and special-needs individuals — all reserved for Extremely Low Income (ELI) households. The City executed a ground lease and oversaw project development and MOU negotiations, with the project now fully occupied.

• Tupelo Affordable Housing (73 units, approved 2025): The City is partnering with the Yolo County Housing Authority on this new affordable community, committing $1.5 million from the Housing Trust Fund and co-applying for an Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) grant — awarded in 2025.

accomplishments in an Annual
Progress Report, and present
findings to the City Council.

State law requires the City to prepare and submit an Annual Progress Report (APR) to HCD and OPR by April 1 of each year, and to present findings to the City Council. This reporting requirement ensures accountability and transparency in the City's Housing Element implementation.

Woodland has consistently met this obligation. The City Council received a comprehensive Housing Element implementation update in May 2024, following submission of the 2023 APR, and again in May 2025, following submission of the 2024 APR. A City Council presentation on the 2025 APR is planned following this submittal.

These annual updates serve as an opportunity to celebrate accomplishments, identify emerging challenges, and keep the City Council and community informed about Woodland's
progress toward its housing production goals.

OBJECTIVE: City Council receives an annual Housing Element implementation report; requirement fulfilled each year.

A.11. Homeless Action Plan
Continue to implement the strategies
outlined in the City’s Homeless Action
Plan, which includes increasing the
availability of services and increasing
Permanent Supportive Housing, as well as
facilitate the provision of emergency
shelter services through its participation in
the countywide Homeless Coordination
Project that provides services to the
homeless in Yolo County. The Project
includes support of the Cold Weather
Shelter.

Continued support for
countywide efforts to
meet the needs of
unhoused residents.

Woodland's Homeless Action Plan provides the strategic
framework for the City's comprehensive, coordinated approach to addressing homelessness. Through the Plan, the City aligns efforts across multiple departments — Public Works,
Administrative Services, Police, and Community Development — and connects with county and regional partners to efficiently deploy available resources.

The City's dedicated Homeless Outreach Street Team (HOST) provides direct outreach, case management, and referral services to unhoused individuals in the community. The City's housing analyst serves as a board member of the Yolo County Homeless and Poverty Action Coalition (HPAC), ensuring
Woodland's interests are represented in countywide planning and policy.

The City provides operational funding for the Yolo Wayfarer Center emergency shelter and serves as the administrator for both the HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) grant and the State Permanent Local Housing Assistance (PLHA) grant — critical funding streams that support day-to-day shelter operations.

Through these sustained efforts, Woodland continues to serve as a regional leader in addressing homelessness and providing a safety net for the county's most vulnerable residents.

OBJECTIVE: Continued, ongoing support for countywide
homelessness programs and services.

A.12 Support Rehousing Efforts within the
Community
a) Facilitate full development of the East
Beamer Way Emergency Shelter and
Neighborhood Campus Project that
includes 100 emergency shelter beds
began operating January 2021, l A total of
60 units of permanent supportive housing
are under construction. l Future
construction for Walters House residential
treatment facility will include 60 beds of
temporary supportive housing, wrap
around services, community campus
facilities including meeting rooms and
community garden. l A future second
phase of emergency housing is proposed.
b) Continue to facilitate establishment of
supportive or transitional housing within
the community including establishment of
50 supportive housing units in the
Downtown by Fourth and Hope, as well as
continued support for existing and new
facilities.

Facilitate full
development of the
East Beamer Way
Campus (100
emergency shelter
beds, 60 units of
permanent supportive
housing and 60 beds
of temporary
supportive housing).

The East Beamer Way Neighborhood Campus is one of
Woodland's most ambitious and transformative housing
initiatives — a multi-phase development that provides emergency shelter, permanent supportive housing, and substance use treatment services on a single, integrated campus.

Phase 1 — Emergency Shelter: The City initiated construction in June 2020 on a 100-bed adult emergency shelter, which opened in January 2021 under the operation of Fourth & Hope and the Yolo Wayfarer Center. A subsequent Phase 1 expansion adds 14 private respite rooms and enhanced behavioral health services in a new 12,000-square-foot building.

Phase 2 — Permanent Supportive Housing (61 manufactured homes, completed Fall 2022): Fifty 1-bedroom units serve individuals and couples; 11 are 2-bedroom units for families. Five units provide full ADA accessibility. All 61 homes are reserved for Extremely Low Income households and were fully occupied by early 2023. A 2,800-square-foot community center supports residents with on-site services.

Phase 3 — Walter's House Substance Use Disorder Treatment (60 beds, opened December 2024): This 15,000-square-foot facility provides expanded services for individuals struggling with addiction. The facility was developed by Friends of the Mission, Inc. and held its grand opening in December 2024. Unhoused families, women, and children will transition into the current Walter's House facility downtown, providing additional family shelter capacity in Yolo County.

The campus was developed in collaboration with the County of Yolo, Dignity Health Woodland Memorial Hospital, Partnership HealthPlan of California, the Sutter Foundation, and Friends of the Mission — a model of multi-agency partnership.

OBJECTIVE: East Beamer Campus substantially complete:
• Emergency Shelter: 100 beds (operational)
• Permanent Supportive Housing: 61 units (fully occupied) • Substance Use Disorder Treatment: 60 beds (opened
December 2024)
• Phase II Emergency Shelter Expansion: Planned

units in the community
at large
Staff is actively working with a local organization to convert a vacant downtown office building into 12 transitional housing units/bedrooms accommodating approximately 24 individuals.

This effort is supported through funding from Yolo County.

Building permits were issued in early 2026 to begin the interior renovation and residential conversion work.

OBJECTIVE: Underway. The City will continue to support
establishment of supportive and transitional housing options in the downtown area, consistent with the Housing Element
commitment of 50+ supportive housing units community-wide.

Units 12 None at this time.

A.13. Accessory Dwelling Units and Multi-
generational Units
Continue to encourage new projects to
incorporate accessory dwelling units
(ADUs) or multi-gen units that can be
utilized as ADUs in the future. Continue to
post information about ADUs on the City's
website and offer technical assistance to
homeowners regarding standards,
application, and permit requirements. The
City shall develop an ADU and multi-
generational unit monitoring project that
will track and monitor both production and
affordability. Should either production or
affordability be below anticipated levels,
taking into account the broader market
conditions, the City shall take actions
within six months to facilitate both
continued production and affordability of
ADUs and multi-generational units. The
extent of the action taken will depend on
60 ADUs and 67 multigenerational
units in
high and moderate
resource
neighborhoods
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs) are an important and cost-effective tool for expanding Woodland's housing supply — particularly in
established neighborhoods — without requiring major
infrastructure investment. The City has invested significantly in streamlining the ADU permitting process and educating residents about their options.

Between July 2022 and December 2025, the City issued 61 ADU building permits, adding new housing units in existing
neighborhoods across the city.

Key actions taken to facilitate ADU production:
• July 2023: City launched a step-by-step, public-friendly ADU/JADU guide on its website, covering permitting, design standards, and application requirements.
• 2024: City introduced a "Pre-Approved ADU Master Plan" program, enabling architects and designers to submit
standardized plans for pre-approval, reducing design costs and permitting timelines for homeowners.
• June 2024: ADU standards updated as part of the
Comprehensive Zoning Code to align with the latest State law.

• February 2026: ADU ordinance updated again to incorporate changes from AB 462, AB 1154, SB 9, and SB 543.

The City will continue to monitor ADU production and
affordability, and will take corrective action within six months if production or affordability falls below anticipated levels.

OBJECTIVE: 61 ADU permits issued since July 2022.

A.14. Zoning for Emergency Shelters and
Supportive Housing
Amend the Zoning Code as follows to allow
facilities for those experiencing
homelessness: (See A.18) l Allow
emergency shelters by-right in at least one
zone. Ensure that the selected zoning
district provides adequate sites to
accommodate an unmet need for 138
shelter beds. l Amend the development
standards in Chapter 17.152 to remove
parking requirements for occupants of
emergency shelters consistent with
Government Code 65583 l Allow supportive
housing by right in zones where multi-
family and mixed uses are permitted,
consistent with Government Code Section
65651. l Allow “low barrier navigation
center” developments by right in mixed-
use zones and nonresidential zones
permitting multifamily uses, consistent
with Government Code Section 65662.

Achieve compliance with State law In March 2023, the Woodland City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1704, bringing the City's zoning code into full compliance with State housing law requirements for emergency shelters and supportive housing. The ordinance allows:
• Emergency shelters and low barrier navigation centers as by- right uses in Corridor Mixed-Use (CMU) zones.
• Emergency shelters as a conditionally permitted use in the Industrial zone.
• Supportive housing by right in zones permitting multifamily and mixed uses.

This ordinance was a prerequisite for HCD's certification of Woodland's 6th Cycle Housing Element in April 2023, and ensures that housing services for the unhoused can be
established in appropriate locations without discretionary barriers.

OBJECTIVE ACHIEVED: Full compliance with State law for
emergency shelter, low barrier navigation center, and supportive housing zoning requirements.

A.15. Emergency Shelter Zoning in Specific
Plans
Amend existing Specific Plans (including
the Spring Lake Specific Plan) to clarify the
Citywide Zoning Code applies if/when the
Specific Plan does not comply with State
law regarding special needs housing,
including but not limited to: Emergency
shelters, transitional and supportive
housing, accessory dwelling units, and
residential care facilities.

Achieve compliance
with State Law
On March 7, 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1704, which ensures that all specific plan areas within Woodland — including the Spring Lake Specific Plan — are subject to the City's updated zoning standards for special needs housing. The ordinance clarifies that where a specific plan is silent on or inconsistent with State housing law requirements — including provisions for emergency shelters, transitional and supportive housing, ADUs, and residential care facilities — the Citywide Zoning Code governs.

This provides regulatory certainty for housing service providers and developers while ensuring Woodland remains in full
compliance with State law across all planning areas.

OBJECTIVE ACHIEVED: Compliance with State law confirmed in all specific plan areas.

Develop a written policy or project review
and approval guidelines as appropriate to
specify the SB 35 (2017) streamlining
approval process and standards for
eligible projects, as set forth under
California Government Code, Section
65913.4. Expand the application of
Objective Development Standards and
streamlined review process from the
Interim Zoning Ordinance to all districts
that allow residential uses in the
Comprehensive Zoning Code update.

Achieve compliance
with State Law
The City has taken steps to ensure that developers and property owners are well-informed about State streamlining opportunities for eligible residential projects. The City's website includes detailed information on the Streamlined Ministerial Approval Process (SMAP , formerly SB 35), including applicable standards, eligibility requirements, and how to apply.

The Comprehensive Zoning Code adopted in June 2024 includes objective development standards for all residential zones, which is a foundational requirement for SMAP-eligible projects. These objective standards remove subjectivity from the design review process and provide developers with clear, predictable criteria for project approval.

OBJECTIVE ACHIEVED: Objective development standards
adopted citywide; SMAP information available to the public.

A.17. Affordable Housing In-lieu Fee
Conduct an affordable housing analysis
that will evaluate an affordable in-lieu fee
payment based on square footage, with
consideration for payment from non-
residential development in addition to
residential.

Achieve more
consistent flow of
funds into the Housing
Trust fund.

In September 2023, the City established a square-footage-based affordable housing in-lieu fee structure for the Woodland Research and Technology Park Specific Plan — ensuring that the city's most significant new growth area contributes equitably to the production of affordable housing. The in-lieu fee applies to all new low-, medium-, and high-density residential development within the plan area and is expected to generate approximately $5 million over the next 10–15 years. These funds will support affordable housing construction both within the plan area and throughout the city.

The WRTP Specific Plan represents the primary residential growth area for Woodland over the coming decade, with 1,600+ units expected to be built. A clear and predictable in-lieu fee structure is essential to ensuring that this growth contributes meaningfully to the city's affordable housing goals.

OBJECTIVE ACHIEVED: Square-footage-based in-lieu fee
established for Woodland's primary new growth area.

On January 21, 2025, the City Council approved updated planning permit fee schedules that reflect the City's actual costs of processing permits while incorporating reductions for lower- impact entitlement types. Specifically, the update included permit fee reductions for minor design review applications for single-family homes and ADUs — helping to reduce financial barriers for homeowners and small developers.

Fee updates were made in the context of the new Comprehensive Zoning Code, ensuring consistency between the updated
regulatory framework and the City's cost-recovery structure.

OBJECTIVE ACHIEVED: Planning fee schedule updated; reduced fees for ADU and minor design review applications.

65589.7.

Achieve compliance
with State Law
The City of Woodland has sufficient water supply infrastructure to serve anticipated residential development and population growth through 2035 and beyond, consistent with the 2035 General Plan land use projections. This was confirmed through the City's 2020 Urban Water Management Plan, adopted in June 2021, which demonstrates adequate supply through 2040.

In the event that service capacity becomes constrained in the future, the City has established procedures to prioritize water and sewer service connections for developments that include lower- income units, in compliance with California Government Code Section 65589.7. This ensures that affordable housing projects are not disadvantaged in accessing public infrastructure needed for development.

OBJECTIVE ACHIEVED: Compliance with State law established; adequate infrastructure confirmed through 2040.

B.1. Funding for Housing Rehabilitation
and Maintenance
Periodically review City eligibility for
various federal and State programs that
will provide rehabilitation and
maintenance assistance for lower-income
units and special needs groups. The City
shall submit applications for programs for
which the City is eligible, as appropriate.

Establish a housing
rehabilitation program, if
feasible.

Provide assistance to
rehabilitate 5 units within
lower resource areas.

Maintaining and improving Woodland's existing affordable housing stock is a long-term priority. While the City does not currently operate a standalone housing rehabilitation program, staff has actively pursued State and federal funding to support rehabilitation of existing affordable communities.

In 2024, the City applied for $2.8 million in HUD HOME funds to support the rehabilitation of Cottonwood Meadows, a 47-unit senior affordable housing complex. The City also continues to explore funding opportunities for the Hotel Woodland
rehabilitation project in downtown Woodland — a historic building containing 76 low-income housing units.

The City's CDBG entitlement provides supplemental funding for smaller-scale rehabilitation and public facility improvements that benefit low- and moderate-income households.

OBJECTIVE: Rehabilitation funding applications submitted; program development ongoing.

The City actively monitors the condition of its affordable housing inventory through the ongoing oversight of HOME-funded and CTCAC-funded affordable projects. The City conducts in-unit inspections for HOME compliance at three projects: Terracina at Spring Lake (85 units), Rochdale Grange (43 units), and an 11-unit property — a combined total of 139 units under active
monitoring.

Inspection and compliance data collected through this process is retained for the duration of each property's affordability covenant and will inform the development of a broader housing conditions survey in the future. The City intends to expand this work to evaluate housing code data and determine best practices for a comprehensive survey.

OBJECTIVE: Ongoing monitoring of 139+ affordable units; survey methodology under development.

existing housing in the downtown area, the
conversion of underutilized upper floors of
commercial buildings to housing, and
construction of infill, mixed-use housing
projects with street-level commercial
uses. The City shall monitor and annually
report on the number of housing units
constructed as part of infill and mixed-use
projects in the Downtown Area.
183 infill housing units
Downtown, including 112
lower-income and 71
above moderate-income
units
The City actively encourages the preservation and revitalization of housing in the downtown area, including the conversion of underutilized upper-floor commercial space to residential use and the construction of new infill and mixed-use housing projects.

Notable downtown housing achievements:
• Cleveland Street Small-Lot Homes: Fifteen of 16 for-sale, small- lot infill homes were completed in 2022 and 2024/2025, bringing affordable ownership opportunities to the heart of Woodland's historic downtown.
• Historic Building Renovation (approved November 2023): Five housing units were approved as part of a mixed-use renovation of a historic 1873 building, targeted for moderate- and above- moderate-income households.

B.4. At-risk Affordable Housing
Preservation of at-risk affordable housing
through the participation from agencies or
funding assistance. No later than three
years prior to expiration of affordability,
sooner if possible to ensure time for
negotiation, the City will contact property
owners of units at-risk of converting to
market-rate housing to discuss the City’s
desire to preserve complexes as
affordable housing. The City will seek
participation from agencies interested in
purchasing and/or managing units at-risk.

Funding assistance, which can be
leveraged with outside sources by the
developer to either transfer ownership, or
provide rent subsidies to maintain
affordability, shall utilize applicable
federal, State, and local financing sources.

Where properties are at risk of conversion,
the City will work with tenants to provide
education regarding tenant rights and
conversion procedures pursuant to
California law.

Preserve 150 at-risk
affordable housing units
citywide.

Preserving the affordability of Woodland's existing deed- restricted housing stock is essential to preventing displacement and maintaining the City's supply of lower-income units. The City monitors at-risk properties well in advance of affordability expiration and actively pursues funding and partnership opportunities to extend their affordability.

Current preservation efforts include:
• Cottonwood Meadows Senior Apartments (47 units): In 2024, the City applied for $2.8 million in HOME funds to support rehabilitation of this senior affordable community, helping to extend its long-term viability.
• Yolano Donnelly Neighborhood Revitalization: In partnership with the Yolo County Housing Authority, the City is engaged in the Choice Neighborhoods Planning process to replace 132 obsolete public housing units at Yolano Village and Donnelly Circle with approximately 400 new mixed-income homes. The two-year
planning process — which includes extensive resident and community engagement — will result in a HUD-required
Transformative Plan in 2026, which will serve as the blueprint for redevelopment.

OBJECTIVE: Active preservation planning underway for 132+ public housing units; 47-unit rehabilitation funding application submitted.

The City of Woodland has made strategic, place-based
investments in historically underserved neighborhoods to improve housing conditions, expand housing opportunities, and reduce displacement risk for lower-income residents.

Armfield/Lemen Avenue Neighborhood Framework Plan: In 2023, the City completed this community-driven planning effort — funded by a $237,750 SACOG REAP grant — which sets a vision for a safer, more walkable neighborhood with a diverse mix of housing types including workforce, senior, and mixed-income housing. The plan evaluated redevelopment opportunities for the Yolo County Housing Authority's Yolano Village and Donnelly Circle sites.

The City is actively partnering with YCH on the Choice
Neighborhoods planning process for these sites, with a $1.5 million Housing Trust Fund commitment approved in 2025 to support the effort. The State Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) grant was awarded in 2025, providing additional resources for the neighborhood.

East Main Street Neighborhood Livability Project: The City is pursuing a long-term project to remove freeway traffic from the East Main Street corridor, dramatically improving quality of life for nearby residents. In March 2024, the City received $1 million in congressionally directed spending for project planning. In January 2025, the City reapplied for a $5 million Federal BUILD planning grant.

OBJECTIVE ACHIEVED: Public investments directed to lower- opportunity areas; AHSC grant awarded for Armfield/Lemen neighborhood.

resource areas
The City of Woodland is a HUD Formula Entitlement community, receiving annual Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding to support programs and infrastructure improvements that primarily benefit low- and moderate-income residents. In July 2025, the City Council approved the FY 2025–2026 CDBG Annual Action Plan and the 2025–2029 Five-Year Consolidated Plan, allocating $473,643 in FY 2025–2026 to support one public infrastructure project and six public service programs that directly benefit the Woodland community.

The 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan, submitted to HUD, entitles the City to an estimated $2.4 million in additional CDBG funding over the five-year period. A strong majority of these funds are directed to lower-resource areas and programs serving low- and moderate-income households — consistent with the City's commitment to affirmatively furthering fair housing.

OBJECTIVE: 80%+ of CDBG funds directed to low- and moderate- income households; FY 2025–2026 Action Plan and 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan adopted.

Trees are a vital component of Woodland's identity, quality of life, and climate resilience — providing shade, reducing urban heat, sequestering carbon, and enhancing neighborhood character.

The City has taken significant steps to protect and expand its urban forest.

In December 2022, the City Council amended its Tree
Preservation Ordinance to strengthen protections for Woodland's existing tree canopy, consistent with the 2035 Climate Action Plan and the Woodland Urban Forest Master Plan.

The June 2024 Comprehensive Zoning Code update further
advances tree canopy goals by requiring tree planting as part of new development landscape standards — ensuring that growth in Woodland contributes to rather than detracts from the urban forest.

City staff and community volunteers have planted nearly 200 trees during Arbor Day events in 2024, 2025, and 2026 — a tangible, visible symbol of Woodland's commitment to a greener, healthier community.

OBJECTIVE: Tree Preservation Ordinance updated; 200 trees planted at Arbor Day events since 2024.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: May 19, 2026
ITEM #: K.12
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2026/27 Measure F Spending Plan

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. ____, approving the Fiscal Year 2026/27 Measure F Spending Plan.

Staff Contact:

Kim McKinney, Administrative Services Director, (530) 661-5849, [email protected]

Fiscal Impact:

Measure F (MSF) revenues are estimated to total $90.74 million through the 12-year life of the sales tax measure, with an estimated $3.86 million in other revenues associated with MSF. The spending plan remains balanced between revenues and expenditures and ensures no unauthorized inter-fund borrowing for City operations and project execution.

Fiscal year 2026/27 revenues are estimated at $7.9 million, which is consistent with the assumption used for the sales tax forecast in the FY2026/27 preliminary Operations and Maintenance budget.

Other revenues of $215,000 are also included in the spending plan, which consist primarily of anticipated user fees at the Woodland Aquatic Center and investment earnings for the MSF fund.

Recommended appropriations for FY2026/27 total $11.75 million for projects, street maintenance, public safety, and economic development.

Background:

In November 2016, Woodland voters approved Measure F (MSF), which extended the 1/2 cent supplemental sales tax collected within the boundaries of and for the benefit of the City of Woodland.

The 12-year approval of MSF, a general tax, includes funding for general city services such as street maintenance, parks and facility improvements, public safety and promotion of economic development.

The purpose of the MSF Spending Plan is to allocate the anticipated revenue between the various categories based on overall community need. A spending plan is required based on the ordinance adopted to implement the tax. Preparation of a spending plan not only meets the requirements of the measure, but is also necessary to include the proposed MSF-funded projects and operating programs in the FY2026/27 Capital Improvement Program and overall City operating budget.

Discussion:

The City utilizes a third-party consultant to assist with detailed analysis and forecasting of sales tax revenues, including MSF. In the last year, based on actual receipts and data provided by the consultants, the City has substantially downgraded the anticipated sales tax revenues over the last few years, and has modified the forecast to reflect more moderate annual increases in revenues.

Previous adjustments reduced almost $7 million of MSF revenues over the remaining years of MSF.

The most recent projections did recover slightly, and those projections are reflected in the updated spending plan, which remains balanced throughout the life of the plan, but allows for fewer projects to be programmed.

Over the life of MSF, the proposed spending plan will allocate revenues to four major categories:

Page 693 ends

Parks, Roads, Public Safety, and Economic Development.

Parks: The allocation in this category has previously been allocated primarily to supplement park development impact fees to assist with payment of required debt service on the bonds issued in 2005 to build the Community Center and Sports Park Complexes. To the extent that the entire planned amount was not needed to cover debt service, additional funding has been available for priority projects in existing park facilities. The bonds were fully repaid during FY2025/26, and the allocation in this category is now available for other programming.

Beginning in FY2025/26, the spending plan includes anticipated costs for operations and programming at the new Woodland Aquatic Center, which is now open to the public. The planned operations of the Woodland Aquatic Center are expected to cost approximately $715,000 annually for operations and maintenance, and approximately $330,000 for programming. These annual costs will be partially offset by the collection of additional revenues. Staff anticipate approximately $200,000 in new revenues from the pool, which leaves a net cost of nearly $850,000 each year. The proposed annual costs are split between the MSF spending plan presented herein and the Measure R spending plan, presented under a separate report to Council.

Street Maintenance/Roads: The allocation in this category will provide for ongoing support to the City's road maintenance program as well as funding for specific road projects. The capital projects are identified each year through the Capital Budget process, and ongoing support for the road maintenance program is expected to continue and potentially increase as funding from other sources (primarily Gas Tax and Transportation Development Act funding) is limited or directed to other agencies.

Public Safety: The allocation in this category provides funding for staffing in both Fire and Police Departments. Fire staffing includes the Fire Chief and Fire Marshal positions. Police staffing includes three sworn officers, temporary civilian staffing to assist with records management and non- emergency services, and a full-time Community Enhancement Specialist position.

Economic Development: The allocation in this category funds one dedicated planning position and supports other administrative positions and temporary staffing to assist with the City's economic development efforts. Supplemental non-personnel allocations in support of citywide economic development efforts are included in the General Fund budget.

The proposed funding plan for fiscal year 2026/27 includes the following:

Parks — $2.94 million is allocated toward various park-related projects or programs. Included in the proposed allocation is close to $190,000 to supplement annual funding for tree pruning of the City's urban forest, which is also funded in the General Fund. This funding is continued through the remaining years of the spending plan. Additionally, as noted herein, $750,000 is allocated in this category during FY2026/27 as a contribution for the operations of the Woodland Aquatic Center (WAC). The total cost of pool operations and programming is split between MSF and Measure R over the lives of the measures. Related user fee revenues for the WAC are included in the spending plan in the "Other Revenues" category. Finally, the proposed spending plan includes a one-time allocation of $2 million for the purchase of the solar array system installed at the Community Senior Center in 2016. Pursuant to the terms of the Power Purchase Agreement with the solar array installer, the City has the option to acquire the seven arrays installed at various city facilities including the CSC. Staff anticipates completing the acquisition during FY2026/27. The purchase of the array will result in significant ongoing savings in utility costs.

Roads — $3.26 million is allocated toward road improvement projects, which includes $1 million for

Page 694 ends

the City's annual in-house road maintenance project; included in this total is $750,000 to supplement the City's annual road maintenance budget, which has been impacted by decreasing revenues. $2.04 million in annual pavement maintenance projects and costs for planning and grant applications.

Public Safety — $5.2 million is proposed for allocation to public safety-related staffing, projects, and programs. Included in this total is $2.49 million dedicated to public safety staffing, specifically funding for the Fire Chief, Fire Marshal, three Police Officers, three temporary non-sworn positions, and a full- time Community Enhancement Specialist. In addition to staffing, funding is proposed for several projects in support of public safety. $100,000 is allocated toward replacement of the alerting system at Fire Station 2, which is failing and no longer serviceable, causing response delays. $25,000 is allocated in support of grant match funds for the Fire Department. $100,000 is allocated toward purchase and replacement of critical protective equipment used by the Police Department that has reached the end of its useful life. Finally, $2.5 million is allocated for purchase of the solar array installed at the Police Department. This investment will allow for significant ongoing savings in utility costs at the Police Department building.

Economic Development — $325,000 is allocated to economic development staffing to continue the city's efforts with business retention, expansion, attraction and assistance.

The MSF revenue estimate for FY2026/27 is approximately $7.9 million, which is consistent with the assumption used for the sales tax forecast in the FY2026/27 preliminary Operations and Maintenance budget. Other revenues of $215,000 are also included in the spending plan, which consist primarily of anticipated user fees at the Woodland Aquatic Center and investment earnings for the MSF fund. Recommended appropriations for FY2026/27 total $11.75 million for projects, street maintenance, public safety, and economic development.

MSF Spending Plan by Category for FY2026/27:

Parks $ 2,943,539
Roads $ 3,266,529
Public Safety $ 5,212,209
Economic
Development
$ 324,595
Total $ 11,746,872

The attached MSF spending plan shows revenues and expenditures in each of the four categories listed above. In addition, staff have included a moderate amount of money set aside each year to build a reserve in the MSF fund to offset revenue fluctuations, since MSF pays for ongoing operating costs in addition to project-related costs. Finally, the spending plan shows a small accumulation of fund balance throughout the life of the measure. This is mostly due to projected future increases in revenues that aren't fully allocated among the categories noted within this report. Staff will continue to monitor and update these revenues and the related reserves, and future MSF plan discussions will also include the use of reserves, as appropriate.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. ____, approving the Fiscal Year 2026/27 Measure F Spending Plan.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: May 19, 2026
ITEM #: K.13
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2026/27 Measure R Spending Plan

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. ____, approving the Fiscal Year 2026/27 Measure R Spending Plan.

Staff Contact:

Kim McKinney, Administrative Services Director, (530) 661-5849, [email protected]

Fiscal Impact:

Measure R (MSR) revenues are estimated to total $32.1 million over the 8-year life of the sales tax measure, as well as $525,000 in other revenues. The spending plan also allocates $30.7 million in expenditures over the life of the measure for baseline programming. Additional expenses (funding requests) may be recommended and included above the baseline budget, as the spending plan is updated annually. Actual appropriation of MSR, which includes staffing and programming, will occur annually with the adoption of the City's budget. Included in the spending plan for fiscal year (FY) 2026/27 is an anticipated $3.97 million in revenue, with recommended appropriations of $3.96 million, and an anticipated reserve balance of $2.6 million at the end of FY2026/27.

Background:

In June 2020, the City Council authorized placing re-authorization of a 1/4 cent sales tax measure before the voters for the November 2020 election. MSR was approved with 63.43% of the Woodland vote. Companion advisory measures S, T, U and V were also approved and were intended to guide the City Council in the allocation of the revenues generated by MSR for general city services, programs, and facilities for a period of eight (8) years as follows:

Measure S, approved by 59.37% of voters, provides for 25% of the additional sales tax received to enhance educational and literacy programs and expand the hours of operation of the library;

Measure T, approved by 61.67% of voters, provides for 55% of the additional sales tax received to expand and enhance youth and teen programs and facilities, and reduction of fees charged for the use of city recreation facilities;

Measure U, approved by 67.95% of voters, provides for 15% of the additional sales tax received to enhance public safety through expanded crime prevention and community building programs that support opportunities for youth within the community; and

Measure V, approved by 66.28% of voters, provides for 5% of the additional sales tax received to support a utility rate-payer assistance program for low-income seniors and families.

MSR was approved for an eight (8) year term and will expire on September 30, 2030.

Discussion:

The City utilizes a third-party consultant to assist with detailed analysis and forecasting of sales tax revenues, including MSR. In the last year, based on actual receipts and data provided by the consultants, the City substantially downgraded the anticipated sales tax revenues in the FY2025/26

Page 699 ends

spending plan, and modified the forecast to reflect more moderate annual increases in revenues.

These adjustments resulted in an overall reduction of more than $3.6 million over the remaining years of MSR. The updated FY2026/27 revenue forecast shows a small recovery in the sales tax revenues, but continues to reflect an overall reduction in total MSR revenues over the life of the plan. To address these reduced revenues, adjustments and reductions in overall expenditures within the spending plan were implemented in the current fiscal year and continue through the remainder of the spending plan.

The proposed spending plan allocates revenues to four major categories: Youth Programming, Library Programming, Crime Prevention, and Utility Assistance.

Library Programming: The allocation in this category allows for the continuation of increased hours of operation from 44 hours a week to 51 hours a week at the Woodland Public Library. MSR funds children's and teen collections, including current print and electronic materials, and also expands the collection in both print and electronic form. MSR also provides funding for the operations and programming of the Square One workspace.

The FY2026/27 allocation for the Library is equal to 27% of anticipated revenues, which is slightly more than the 25% noted in Advisory Measure S. Baseline funding reductions, split between funding allocated for temporary staffing at Square One and funding for the purchase of books and other collection materials, was implemented in the FY2025/26 spending plan and continues through this updated forecast.

Youth Programming: The allocation in this category provides funding for summer camp activities, aquatics programming, assists with the waiver of per-player fees for youth sports, and continues funding activities for youth diversion programs and funds a School Resource Officer (SRO) position.

Beginning in FY2025/26, the spending plan includes anticipated costs for programming at the new Woodland Aquatic Center, which opened to the public in early 2026.

To address the reduced revenue available in MSR, and to make room for the operations of the new pool facility, some programs previously included in the MSR spending plan were eliminated in the current fiscal year and remain unfunded for the remainder of the spending plan. In recognition of both the limited revenues and the availability of the Woodland Boys and Girls Club, after-school programs at Lee and Douglass Middle Schools were eliminated, as well as any programming at non-City events for the Rec-to-Go Program. Finally, the GREAT program funding was removed, and the Police Department absorbed similar programming within the existing General Fund operations budget.

The planned operations of the new Woodland Aquatic Center are expected to cost approximately $715,000 annually for operations and maintenance, and approximately $330,000 for programming.

These annual costs will be offset by the collection of additional revenues. Staff anticipates approximately $200,000 in new revenues from the pool, which leaves a net cost of nearly $850,000 each year. The proposed annual costs are split between the MSR spending plan presented herein and the Measure F spending plan, presented under a separate report to Council. FY26/27 represents the first full year of pool operations.

The FY2026/27 allocation totals $2,061,580. Staff will continue to evaluate programming in this category to ensure the programs that have the most impact on the community are given priority for resource allocation.

Crime Prevention: The allocation in this category provides funding for the crime prevention program, including Neighborhood Watch, expansion of the Volunteers In Policing (ViP) program, and continues funding activities for violence prevention programs. Also included is $200,000 annually to continue

Page 700 ends

Advance Peace Woodland. Yolo County has also executed a contract committing to fund $200,000 for FY2026/27. The payments to Advance Peace are made by the City, with reimbursement coming from the County. Although the County contribution and reimbursement are not included in the spending plan, they will be included in the appropriations for the FY26/27 budget.

The FY2026/27 allocation totals $618,626. This level of funding continues the staffing and programming from FY2025/26.

Utility Assistance Program: MSR provides funding subsidies to assist low-income families with payment of their utility bill. The program provides a subsidy of $40 per month for up to twelve months in a fiscal year. The FY2026/27 allocation of $198,716 represents 5% of expected MSR revenues, in compliance with Advisory Measure V. The funding for this program will continue to provide the assistance program at the existing subsidy level and qualifying criteria, and, depending upon the timing of application for the program, will provide assistance to a minimum of 413 qualifying residential accounts.

MSR Funding by Category for FY2025/26 is as follows:

Library
Programming
$1,080,718
Youth
Programming
$2,061,580
Crime
Prevention
$618,626
Utility
Assistance
$198,716
Total $3,959,639

Through the eight-year life of the sales tax measure, and based on proposed expenditures of the spending plan, the following programming will be achieved, which is closely aligned with the MSR advisory measures:

Library Programming - 27.18% ($8.35 million)
Youth Programming - 50.35% ($15.46 million)
Crime Prevention - 16.55% ($5.08 million)
Utility Assistance - 5.92% ($1.8 million)

The MSR spending plan will be updated each year and adjustments will be required to reflect updated revenue numbers and modified programming expenditures to ensure the spending plan is balanced and in alignment with the MSR advisory measures.

Finally, as required by the resolution adopting MSR, an annual report will be prepared and provided to the City Council each year in December. This report will detail the activities paid for by MSR, as well as information and statistics about residents who participate in and benefit from the MSR.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. ____, approving the Fiscal Year 2026/27 Measure R Spending Plan.
