encroachment permits and those requests that should be processed as easement vacations. Access, underground structure/utility, and drainage or other similar related easements should not be vacated due to public safety reasons.

III. POLICY
The City, in accordance with California and federal law, has property rights as an easement holder. Property owners and easement holders shall retain all rights granted to each under the law. The intent of this policy is to clarify basic requirements to be implemented in regard to encroachments within City easements to ensure proper safety and protection of the public, public property, and public infrastructure. The City will apply the following restrictions and exceptions to the use of land within City easements.

As the owner of the City easements, the City will apply the following restrictions and exceptions to the use of land within City easements. Because there is an element of public safety to some easements, any existing unauthorized encroachments into access, drainage, or underground structure/utility easements (or similar public safety related easements) that interfere with the proper use of the easement shall be removed within 30 days of receiving written notice by the City unless specifically authorized in this Policy.

Existing unauthorized encroachments within access, drainage, or underground structure/utility easements (or similar public safety related easements) may remain only by City Council approval, or as noted herein by City Manager or designee on an individual case-by-case basis.

Right of Way Easements: Obstruction of right of way easements is prohibited. Private improvements are not permitted within right of way easements that inhibit the use of utilities, trails, sidewalks, pathways, and roadways. At the discretion of the City Engineer, the City may permit an exception to allow private landscaping and minor hardscapes within parkways. Private landscaping and improvements are not permitted in landscaped areas that are maintained by the City.

Access Easements: Obstruction of access easements is prohibited. Stored vehicles or materials shall not be placed within an access easement area. Trees or other objects are not permitted to interfere with the free and clear access within the easement limits.

At the discretion of the City Engineer, the City may permit an exception to allow a gate across the access easement. However, any permitted gate must remain unlocked by the permittee at all times or locked with a City-owned padlock. No electronic operated gates will be allowed.

Drainage Easements: Obstruction of drainage easements is prohibited. Trees, walls, structures, and intrusive hardscape are prohibited within the easement area. The easement area may not be used for storage. At the discretion of the City Engineer, the City may permit an exception to allow a gate or fence perpendicularly across the drainage

easement. However, any permitted gate must remain unlocked by the permittee at all times or locked with a City-owned padlock and allow for the proper conveyance of stormwater runoff.

Underground Structure/Utility Easements: Trees, walls, structures, and intrusive hardscape are prohibited within the easement area. At the discretion of the City Engineer, the City may permit gates to be constructed perpendicularly across to the easement. Any accessory items or uses within the easement must be easily moveable, as determined by the City Engineer. The easement area may be used for storage, but items must be removed immediately upon City request to allow access to the underground infrastructure.

The City will not be responsible for reconstruction or repair of private improvements constructed within the easement area.

Maintenance Easements: Encroachments, including privately owned, fixed or permanent structures, into the easement area are prohibited unless specifically allowed as outlined in the sections below.

IV. PROCEDURES
Requests for authorization to encroach within the limits of City easements may be issued under the following guidelines:

A. Temporary Encroachment
The City Manager or his designee may issue an encroachment permit with conditions for the construction of temporary improvements that encroach onto City easements. The term of the encroachment permit issued under this policy may not exceed one (1) year. Such improvements shall be able to be removed quickly and easily within ten (10) calendar days of notice to remove such items from the City. Encroachment permits for temporary improvements may be renewed for up to five one-year periods at the discretion of the City Manager or his designee. The following conditions apply to Encroachment Permits for temporary improvements:
• Proposed temporary improvements shall not alter the nature or design of a City maintained easement area, which is visible to passersby and which will change the intent and/or design of the community as it was originally approved by the Planning Commission and/or the City Council.
• Proposed temporary improvements must meet the requirements of the current Yorba Linda Municipal Code and Building and Safety Codes and may require the issuance of a building permit. Proposed temporary improvements shall not violate any land use regulations or be detrimental to the City’s property interest.

C I T Y C O U N C I L P O L I C I E S
• The design, placement, and construction of any temporary improvement is subject to the approval of the City Manager or his designee. The City may revoke a permit if, in the judgment of the City Manager or his designee, such revocation is in the public interest. Any decision to revoke an encroachment permit may be appealed to the City Council following the appeal process as outlined in the Yorba Linda Municipal Code Article IX of the Zoning Ordinance.

Written notice of the appeal for an encroachment permit is required within 10 calendar days of notice of revocation.

B. Permanent Encroachment
Fixed, permanent structures or permanent improvements encroaching upon City easements are not allowed, except in those instances where there is “no significant impact” on the City easement involved, and/or where it is not practical to formally vacate such easement. The term “no significant impact” means an encroachment of one foot (1') or less onto a City easement, and which does not deprive the public from the normal use and enjoyment of the remaining easement or adversely impact the purpose of the easement. For example, if a property owner accidentally builds a wall/fence that encroaches a few inches onto the City easement, it may be considered to be within a tolerable level where no Planning Commission or City Council action is required.

Requests for permanent improvements that exceeds these standards (i.e. one foot) shall be deemed a request for a vacation of the easement and shall be subject to the vacation hearing process. However, due to their public safety connection, access, underground structure/Utility, and drainage easements or similar safety related easements should not be vacated. Requests for encroachments onto access, underground structure/Utility, and drainage easements or other similar safety related easements for privately owned, fixed or permanent structure will either require (a) a City Council determination/finding, or (b) City Manager or designee determination/finding, that the proposed permanent improvements will not adversely impact the City’s easement or general public safety and the property owner may be required to execute a Declaration of Restrictive Covenants (DORC) or Encroachment Agreement.

An Encroachment Agreement applies to permanent encroachments within public right-of-way. Declaration of Restrictive Covenant applies to permanent encroachments over City easements.

A City Council determination/ finding is required for more significant encroachments into public easements (i.e. retaining walls or structures, deep foundations protruding within easement greater than one and a half (1.5’) feet from existing ground). City Council approval is also required if subsequent processes of approval are required (i.e. Planning Commission’s 65402 finding).

• The easement area encompassed by the fence will be vacated by the City, at the City’s expense, including landscape and irrigation modifications. If the underlying property owner does not want the encompassed area to be vacated, the fence shall be relocated outside the City’s easement area by the property owner within thirty (30) calendar days of receiving such notice. • Any unpermitted accessory structures or improvements in the prior easement area shall require a Design Review through the Planning Commission.

Existing unauthorized encroachments without permits will be allowed to remain subject to the following:
• The easement area encompassed by the fence will be vacated by the City, with all costs of the vacation process, including landscape and irrigation modification, being borne by the property owner. If the underlying property owner does not want to vacate the encompassed easement area, the unauthorized encroachment shall be removed within thirty (30) calendar days of receiving a notice from the City.
• Any unpermitted accessory structures or improvements in the prior easement area shall require a Design Review approval through the Planning Commission.
• Compliance with the "General Fence Relocation Guidelines".

Each case will be evaluated individually, and the City Manager or his designee shall take into account unique circumstances when applying this Policy. At the discretion of the City Manager or his designee, the property owner may be required to execute a Declaration of Restrictive Covenants for the prior easement area.

C. Encroachments Requiring Vacation of City Easement
Existing Fence Encroachments on City Maintenance Easements Existing fences encroaching into City landscape easements that were authorized pursuant to a City encroachment permit and were constructed prior to July 15, 2003, will be allowed to remain subject to the following:

The City Manager or designee may approve minor permanent encroachments without City Council approval (i.e. fencing, building or roof overhangs aerially, landscaping, hardscaping, movable furniture, sheds, etc).

• Adjacent and/or affected neighboring properties shall be notified of the request prior to the Planning Commission review. The easement area encompassed by the fence will be vacated by the City, with all costs of the vacation process, including landscape and irrigation modifications shall be borne by the property owner.
• The proposed fence shall be installed at a distance from the top of slope equal to any adjacent existing fence or as approved by the Planning Commission.

However, unless there is a consistent fence line either adjacent to the property or along a majority of the slope, the City would not grant encroachments greater than 18 feet from the top of slope.
• The establishment and maintenance of the fence and landscaping within the fenced area shall be consistent with the “General Fence Relocation Guidelines” as determined by the Planning Commission.

D. Other Implementation Procedures
The City Manager or his designee may develop any other rules, regulations, or procedures that may be necessary for the effective implementation of this policy.

Such regulations and procedures may incorporate (but are not limited to) provisions relating to insurance, indemnification, maintenance, notice, permit form, appeal process, etc.

E. Appeal Process
Any decision related to the land use within a City easement may be appealed in writing to the City. Public Works staff shall review the proposed appeal and forward the request for encroachment authorization to the City Manager. The final determination for encroachment authorization may ultimately be made by the City Council.
• Upon approval by the Planning Commission as part of a Design Review process including any proposed accessory structures or improvements in the easement area. Each case will be evaluated individually, and the Planning Commission shall take into account unique circumstances when applying this Policy. At the discretion of the Planning Commission, the property owner may be required to execute a Declaration of Restrictive Covenants (DORC) for the prior easement area.

Rafter roof alterations minimum R-19 or area-weighted average U-factor of 0.054 or less. Attic access doors must have permanently attached insulation using adhesive or mechanical fasteners. The attic access must be gasketed to prevent air leakage. Insulation must be installed in direct contact with a roof or ceiling which is sealed to limit infiltration and exfiltration as specified in § 110.7, including but not limited to placing insulation either above or below the roof deck or on top of a drywall ceiling. * Loose-fill Insulation. Loose fill insulation must meet the manufacturer’s required density for the labeled R-value. Wall Insulation. Minimum R-13 insulation in 2x4 inch wood framing wall or have a U-factor of 0.102 or less, or R-20 in 2x6 inch wood framing or have a U-factor of 0.071 or less. Opaque non-framed assemblies must have an overall assembly U-factor not exceeding 0.102. Masonry walls must meet Tables 150.1-A or B. * Raised-floor Insulation. Minimum R-19 insulation in raised wood framed floor or 0.037 maximum U-factor. * Slab Edge Insulation. Slab edge insulation must meet all of the following: have a water absorption rate, for the insulation material alone without facings, no greater than 0.3 percent; have a water vapor permeance no greater than 2.0 perm per inch; be protected from physical damage and UV light deterioration; and, when installed as part of a heated slab floor, meet the requirements of § 110.8(g). Vapor Retarder. In climate zones 1 through 16, the earth floor of unvented crawl space must be covered with a Class I or Class II vapor retarder. This requirement also applies to controlled ventilation crawl space for buildings complying with the exception to §150.0(d). Vapor Retarder. In climate zones 14 and 16, a Class I or Class II vapor retarder must be installed on the conditioned space side of all insulation in all exterior walls, vented attics, and unvented attics with air-permeable insulation. Fenestration Products. Fenestration, including skylights, separating conditioned space from unconditioned space or outdoors must have a maximum U-factor of 0.45; or area-weighted average U-factor of all fenestration must not exceed 0.45. * Fireplaces, Decorative Gas Appliances, and Gas Log: § 110.5(e) § 150.0(e)1: § 150.0(e)2: § 150.0(e)3: Pilot Light. Continuously burning pilot lights are not allowed for indoor and outdoor fireplaces. Closable Doors. Masonry or factory-built fireplaces must have a closable metal or glass door covering the entire opening of the firebox. Combustion Intake. Masonry or factory-built fireplaces must have a combustion outside air intake, which is at least six square inches in area and is equipped with a readily accessible, operable, and tight-fitting damper or combustion-air control device. * Flue Damper. Masonry or factory-built fireplaces must have a flue damper with a readily accessible control. * Space Conditioning, Water Heating, and Plumbing System: § 110.0-§ 110.3: § 110.2(a): § 110.2(b): § 110.2(c): § 110.3(c)3: § 110.3(c)6: 5/6/22 Certification.

ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT
DATE: MAY 20, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: DAVID CHRISTIAN, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: AGREEMENT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES WITH THE ORANGE COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a new five-year agreement for law enforcement services with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department beginning with fiscal year 2025-26.

BACKGROUND
On July 17, 2012 the City entered into an agreement with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department (OCSD) for the provision of law enforcement services through June 30, 2018 and OCSD began providing police services on January 5, 2013. On May 15, 2018 the City entered into a new five-year agreement with OCSD for the provision of law enforcement services through June 30, 2023. On May 16, 2023 the City Council entered into another five-year agreement with OCSD for the provision of law enforcement services through June 30, 2028. On May 7, 2024 the City Council approved the first amendment to the current agreement establishing levels of service and costs for FY 24-25.

In November of 2024, the City was notified that OCSD was making updates to its law enforcement contracts beginning July 1, 2025, to conform with the County’s current contract template. Although FY 25-26 would be year three of our current five-year agreement, OCSD is requesting that we execute a new five-year agreement from FY 25-26 through FY 29-30.

After approval by the Council, this amendment will go before the Orange County Board of Supervisors for approval in late June.

DISCUSSION
The changes to the contract are not intended to make substantive revisions but designed to reorganize the current contract language. These updates should simplify amendments, eliminate duplicate references, and make the document easier to reference. All changes to the contract language are intended to make the agreement more readable and codify the OCSD’s current practice.

AGREEMENT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES WITH THE ORANGE COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT
P a g e | 2
Overview of the changes:
 The contract is divided into General Terms and Conditions, Attachment A Scope of Work, Attachment B Payment Provisions, Attachment C Level of Services, and the attachments also include the County’s Billing Policy.
 The agreement provides for office space at City Hall for the OCSD use. This is to codify the current practice of the OCSD providing staff to be available at City Hall (See Exhibit A, Section H City Office Space).
 An additional attachment (Attachment H) will be used to account for any special services requested by a City.

In addition to the above, the new agreement incorporates all the provisions of the previous agreement and any amendments. There are no changes recommended by OCSD or the City to the level of service or staffing.

FISCAL IMPACT
The cost estimate for FY 25-26 is $15,601,529 which represents an increase of $595,308 or

3.97% over the final adjusted cost for FY 24-25. While there are no increases to the level of service going forward, the main reason for a majority of the increase is due to the salary and benefit changes that were approved by the Board of Supervisors in 2023.

ALTERNATIVES
Do not approve the new agreement as proposed and direct staff to issue a Request for Proposals for law enforcement services.

The cost of these services shall be in addition to the Maximum Obligation of City. Sheriff shall bill City immediately after said services are rendered.

5. In accordance with Government Code Section 51350, County has adopted Board Resolution 89-1160 which identifies Countywide services, including but not limited to helicopter response.

The Program operates throughout the unincorporated areas of the County and in the cities that contract with County for Sheriff’s law enforcement services, without regard to jurisdictional boundaries, because an area-wide approach to reduction of traffic accidents and driver education is most effective in preventing traffic accidents.

In the event City 1) amends said TVAP resolution, or rescinds said TVAP resolution and adopts a new TVAP resolution pertaining to the above-referenced fees and the Program, and 2) remains a participant in the Program thereafter, City’s Manager, on behalf of City, and Sheriff, on behalf of County, have authority to execute an amendment of this Contract to substitute City’s amended or new TVAP resolution for Attachment E to the Contract, as long as said amendment to this Contract does not materially change any other provision of this Contract. As County updates its fees for the Program periodically, County will provide written notice to City of the updated fees. City’s participation in the Program will terminate if City determines not to adopt the updated fees for the Program.

2. County will make available for review, at the request of City, all financial data related to the Program as may be requested by City.

(80 hours per two-week pay period)

In order for an expenditure for equipment and/or supplies to be eligible for reimbursement, City shall submit a request for and obtain pre-approval of the expenditure by using the form as shown in Attachment F.

The request shall be submitted within the budget schedule established by Sheriff. Sheriff shall approve the expenditure only if both of the following conditions are satisfied: 1) there are sufficient Program funds, attributable to revenue generated by City’s fee, to pay for the requested purchase, and 2) City will use the equipment and/or supplies, during their entire useful life, only for purposes authorized by its TVAP resolution in effect at the time of purchase.

In the event that City terminates its participation in the Program, City agrees that the equipment purchased by City and reimbursed by Program funds will continue to be used, during the remainder of its useful life, exclusively for the purposes authorized by City’s TVAP resolution in effect at the time of purchase.

5. In the event the fees adopted by County, City and other participating jurisdictions are not adequate to continue operation of the Program at the level at which it operated previously, County, at the option of City, will reduce the level of Program service to be provided to City or will continue to provide the existing level of Program services.

County will charge City the cost of any Program operations that exceed the revenue generated by fees. Such charges shall be in addition to the Maximum Obligation of City.

PAYMENT PROVISIONS

1. Compensation: Pursuant to Government Code Section 51350, City agrees to pay to County the full costs of performing the services mutually agreed upon in this Contract. The costs of services include salaries, wages, benefits, mileage, services, supplies, equipment, and divisional, departmental and County General overhead.

The Maximum Obligation of City for services to be provided by the County for the period July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026 shall be $15,601,529 (herein “Maximum Obligation”). The County shall provide the City with a new Maximum Obligation prior to the start of the new fiscal year term for the remaining fiscal years included in this Contract Term, if applicable.

The overtime costs included in the Contract are only an estimate. Sheriff shall notify City of actual overtime worked during each fiscal year. If actual overtime worked is above or below budgeted amounts, billings will be adjusted accordingly at the end of the fiscal year. Actual overtime costs may exceed City’s Maximum Obligation.

2. Invoice: County shall invoice City monthly and will require payment by City of one-twelfth (1/12) of the Maximum Obligation of City. If a determination is made that increases due to Employee Bargaining must be paid, County thereafter shall include the pro-rata charges for such increases in its monthly invoices to City for the balance.

3. Employee Bargaining: At the time this Contract is executed, there may be unresolved issues pertaining to potential changes in salaries and benefits for County employees. If changes result in the County incurring or becoming obligated to pay for increased costs for or on account of personnel whose costs are included in the calculations of costs charged to City hereunder, City shall pay County, the full costs of said increases to the extent such increases are attributable to work performed by such personnel after the starting date of this Contract. City shall pay County in full for such increases on a pro-rata basis over the portion of the Contract term remaining after County notifies City that increases are payable.

If City is required to pay for such increases, County, at the request of City, will thereafter reduce the level of service provided to City to a level that will make the Maximum Obligation of City an amount specified by City.

The purpose of such adjustment of service levels will be to give City the option of keeping its Maximum Obligation hereunder at the pre-increase level or at any other higher or lower level specified by City. In the event of such reduction in level of service and adjustment of costs, the parties shall execute an amendment to this Contract. Decisions about how to reduce the level of service provided to City shall be made by Sheriff with the approval of City.

4. Billing Policy: City shall pay County in accordance with County Board of Supervisors’ approved County Billing Policy dated October 27, 1992. The provisions of the policy, including a discount for early payment, shall apply to this Contract. Payments made electronically via a credit card or through a banking system that charges Merchant Fees, Service Fees, or any other Fees shall be the responsibility of the City. If the County is charged any of the before mentioned fees, the City shall be responsible for payment of these fees to the County.

5. Late Penalties: County shall charge City late payment penalties in accordance with County Billing Policy.

6. Licensing Payments: As payment for the Licensing Services described in this Contract, County shall retain all fees paid by applicants for licenses pursuant to City ordinances. Retention of said fees by County shall constitute payment in full to County for costs incurred by County in performing the functions related to licensing; provided, however, that if any of said fees are waived or reduced by City, City shall pay to County the difference between the amount of fees retained by County and the fees that were set forth in the City’s ordinances at the time this Contract was executed. If City increases the fee schedule for the licensing ordinances, either party shall have the right to seek amendment of this Contract with respect to the division of the increased fees between City and County.

Fees: Fees generated or collected by Sheriff contract personnel for response to false alarms or copying of documents related to the services provided in this Contract will be at County-established rates and will be credited to City on an annual basis.

POLICY FOR DISTRIBUTION OF FORFEITED AND SEIZED ASSETS

BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sheriff’s Department provides contract law enforcement services to cities in Orange County. Because of the increased likelihood that contracted patrol or investigation personnel may become involved in significant narcotic seizures, which could affect law enforcement services provided by the Sheriff’s Department to contract cities, the following policy is in effect.

CONTRACTED PATROL AND INVESTIGATION OFFICERS
When assets (cash or property) are seized in CITY by contracted patrol or investigation personnel, and subsequently forfeited to COUNTY’s Sheriff Department, hereinafter referred to as “SHERIFF”, the forfeited assets shall be shared with CITY as set forth below, for the purpose of augmenting law enforcement services in CITY, subject to guidelines by the forfeiting agency of such sharing and use of forfeited assets. A portion of forfeited assets may be retained by SHERIFF, to pay for departmental expenses not recovered through law enforcement contracts.

In such cases, pursuant to the forfeiting agency’s guidelines, SHERIFF shall apply to the forfeiting agency for the return of a share of assets. In his application, SHERIFF shall specify the percentage of shared assets returned to SHERIFF that will be used to augment law enforcement services in CITY and the use of said assets by CITY.

In those cases in which assets are seized within CITY by personnel assigned to CITY pursuant to this Agreement, without the involvement of other law enforcement personnel, and in which the seizure is a result solely of activities self-initiated by SHERIFF personnel assigned to CITY or initiated by said personnel in response to calls for service within CITY, SHERIFF shall apply to have all of the assets used to augment CITY law enforcement services.

In those cases in which SHERIFF personnel assigned to CITY pursuant to this Agreement play an ancillary role in a seizure or in which other law enforcement personnel are involved in a seizure, SHERIFF shall determine the percentage of the total forfeited assets for which he will apply to augment CITY’s law enforcement services. This determination will be based on the circumstances of the seizure, including the pro-rata involvement of all personnel, including those assigned to CITY.

Each seizure will be evaluated on an individual and independent basis, and said evaluations will be available for review to CITY’s manager. Examples of those incidents which would be evaluated as set forth in this section include situations in which a contract patrol deputy provides uniformed backup at a SHERIFF’s Narcotic Bureau search warrant location or in which contract investigators participate in the service of a search warrant that was initiated by non-contract law enforcement personnel.

Assets (cash or property) that are returned to SHERIFF by the forfeiting agency with the understanding that they will be used to augment CITY law enforcement services shall be used by CITY and SHERIFF only for such purposes. If the forfeiting agency attaches additional or more specific conditions to the use of said assets, CITY and SHERIFF shall also abide by those conditions. SHERIFF and CITY’s manager shall determine the specific use of said assets within the conditions imposed by the forfeiting agency.

ANALYST
SUBJECT: LEGISLATION UPDATE AND BILL ANALYSIS

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the recommended positions on bills currently in the state legislature, and direct staff to prepare and send advocacy letters, as necessary, to communicate the Council’s position on these bills.

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The City Council has requested staff to track bills in the state legislature that may pose a direct impact to Yorba Linda, especially as it relates to housing matters, and when appropriate, to recommend official positions to the City Council to voice support or opposition to such bills. Additionally, staff provides important updates regarding bill status, committee passage, chaptering, etc.

Since the last update the legislature has entered into a new two-year cycle, the 2025-26 Legislative Session. Bills from the 23-24 legislative session that did not pass through their required committees or floor votes before the November 30, 2024, deadline have officially failed. In this new session, state legislators have already introduced 2,350 bills for the first year. Curtailing cities’ local control in pursuit of a building free-for-all for the sake of affordable housing remains a top priority for this legislature.

Staff continues to analyze new bills and have brought this update to the City Council to take action on bills that are particularly timely. The attached report outlines these bills and the recommended position. Once the City Council has taken an official position on bills, staff will continue to monitor the bills’ progress and send advocacy letters to authors, policy committees, and local elected representatives as necessary.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact to adopt advocacy positions on bills.

City Council Positions
Sorted by: Measure
Thursday, 05/15/2025
AB 11 (Lee, D) The Social Housing Act.

Status: 05/07/2025 - In committee: Set, first hearing. Referred to APPR. suspense file.

Summary: Existing law creates a housing authority in each county or city, which functions upon the adoption of a specified resolution by the relevant governing body. Existing law authorizes these housing authorities, within their jurisdictions, to construct, reconstruct, improve, alter, or repair all or part of any housing project.

Existing law establishes various programs that provide housing assistance. This bill would enact the Social Housing Act and would create the California Housing Authority as an independent state body, the mission of which would be to ensure that social housing developments that are produced and acquired align with the goals of eliminating the gap between housing production and regional housing needs assessment targets and preserving affordable housing. The bill would prescribe a definition of social housing that would describe, in addition to housing owned by the authority, housing owned by other entities, as specified, provided that all social housing developed or authorized by the authority would be owned by the authority. This bill contains other related provisions. (Based on 12/02/2024 text)
Position
Oppose
Notes -
This bill empowers the State to develop high-density social housing on underutilized state-owned lands, bypassing local zoning and public input. Given the clear implications for local control, this bill warrants opposition.

AB 306 (Schultz, D) Building regulations: state building standards.

Status: 05/13/2025 - From committee chair, with author's amendments: Amend, and re-refer to committee.

Read second time, amended, and re-referred to Com. on HOUSING.

Summary: Existing law establishes the Department of Housing and Community Development (department) in the Business, Consumer Services, and Housing Agency. Existing law, the California Building Standards Law, establishes the California Building Standards Commission (commission) within the Department of General Services. Existing law requires the commission to approve and adopt building standards and to codify those standards in the California Building Standards Code (code). Existing law, the State Housing Law, establishes statewide construction and occupancy standards for buildings used for human habitation. Existing law requires, among other things, the building standards adopted and submitted by the department for approval by the commission, as specified, to be adopted by reference, with certain exceptions. Existing law authorizes any city or county to make changes in those building standards that are published in the code, including to green building standards. Existing law requires the governing body of a city or county, before making modifications or changes to those green building standards, to make an express finding that those modifications or changes are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions. This bill would, from June 1, 2025, to June 1, 2031, inclusive, prohibit a city or county from making changes that are applicable to residential units to the above-described building standards unless a certain condition is met, including that the commission deems those changes or modifications necessary as emergency standards to protect health and safety. This bill would, from June 1, 2025, to June 1, 2031, inclusive, require the commission to reject a modification or change to any building standard, as described above, affecting a residential unit and filed by the governing body of a city or county unless a certain condition is met, including that the commission deems those changes or modifications necessary as emergency standards to protect health and safety. The bill would also make related findings and declarations. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws. (Based on 05/13/2025 text) Position
Oppose
Notes -
This bill would limit the City's ability to adopt more stringent local building standards for residential construction unless deemed an emergency. This is a significant erosion of local authority and could undermine

the City's ability to address unique geological or safety concerns.

AB 507 (Haney, D) Adaptive reuse: streamlining: incentives.

Status: 05/14/2025 - From committee: Do pass. (Ayes 10. Noes 0.) (May 14).

Summary: Existing law, the Planning and Zoning Law, requires each county and city to adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan for its physical development, and the development of certain lands outside its boundaries, that includes, among other mandatory elements, a housing element. That law allows a development proponent to submit an application for a development that is subject to a specified streamlined, ministerial approval process not subject to a conditional use permit, if the development satisfies certain objective planning standards, including that the development is a multifamily housing development that contains two or more residential units. This bill would deem an adaptive reuse project a use by right in all zones, regardless of the zoning of the site, and subject to a streamlined, ministerial review process if the project meets specified requirements, subject to specified exceptions. In this regard, an adaptive reuse project, in order to qualify for the streamlined, ministerial review process, would be required to be proposed for an existing building that is less than 50 years old or meets certain requirements regarding the preservation of historic resources, including the signing of an affidavit declaring that the project will comply with the United States Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation for, among other things, the preservation of exterior facades of a building that face a street, or receive federal or state historic rehabilitation tax credits, as specified. The bill would require an adaptive reuse project to meet specified affordability criteria. In this regard, the bill would require an adaptive reuse project for rental housing to include either 8% of the unit for very low income households and 5% of the units for extremely low income households or 15% of the units for lower income households. For an adaptive reuse project for owner-occupied housing, the bill would require the development to offer either 30% of the units at an affordable housing cost to moderate-income households or 15% of the units at an affordable housing cost to lower income households. For an adaptive reuse project including mixed uses, the bill would require at least one-half of the square footage of the adaptive reuse project to be dedicated to residential uses. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws. (Based on 02/10/2025 text)
Position
Oppose
Notes -
This bill aims to make it easier to convert office buildings to housing by making adaptive reuse projects allowable "by right" in all zones, regardless of existing zoning, and subject to a streamlined, ministerial review if the project includes affordable units. The bill does not limit development to just the existing building, but allows new development on vacant areas and parking lots on the same parcel or on adjacent parcels. Finally, the bill exempts these projects from CEQA.

AB 647 (González, Mark, D) Housing development approvals: residential units.

Status: 05/01/2025 - Failed Deadline pursuant to Rule 61(a)(2). (Last location was L. GOV. on 4/24/2025) (May be acted upon Jan 2026)
Summary: Existing law, the Planning and Zoning law, requires a proposed housing development containing no more than 2 residential units within a single-family residential zone to be considered ministerially, without discretionary review or hearing, if the proposed housing development meets certain requirements, including, among other requirements, that the parcel subject to the proposed housing development is located within a city, the boundaries of which include some portion of either an urbanized area or urban cluster, as defined, or, for unincorporated areas, a legal parcel wholly within the boundaries of an urbanized area or urban cluster, as defined. Existing law authorizes a local agency to impose objective zoning standards, objective subdivision standards, and objective design review standards that do not conflict with specified provisions, except as provided. This bill would require a proposed housing development containing no more than 8 residential units that is located on a lot with an existing single-family home or is zoned for 8 or fewer residential units to be considered ministerially, without discretionary review or hearing, if the proposed housing development meets certain requirements, including, among other requirements, that the proposed housing development dedicates at least one residential unit to deed-restricted affordable housing to households making at or below 80% of the area median income, as specified. The bill would prohibit a local agency from applying any development standard that will have the effect of physically precluding the construction of a housing development that meets those requirements, as specified, and from imposing on a housing development subject to these provisions any objective zoning standard or objective design standard that meets certain criteria, including

imposing any requirement that applies to a project solely or partially on the basis that the housing development receives approval pursuant to these provisions. The bill would prohibit a setback, height limitation, lot coverage limitation, floor area ratio, or other standard that would limit residential development capacity from being required for certain structures. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws. (Based on 04/24/2025 text)
Position
Oppose
Notes -
This bill would allow up to 8 units on a single-family lot ministerially, requiring only one affordable unit. This represents a major intensification of SB 9 and would strip cities of discretionary review over substantial upzoning. While this bill is currently "dead" for this legislative session, it can still be resurrected next year and is worth opposing.

AB 650 (Papan, D) Planning and zoning: housing element: regional housing needs allocation.

Status: 05/14/2025 - In committee: Hearing postponed by committee.

Summary: Existing law, the Planning and Zoning Law, requires each county and city to adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan for the physical development of the county or city, which includes, among other mandatory elements, a housing element. Existing law requires a public agency to administer its programs and activities relating to housing and community development in a manner to affirmatively further fair housing, and take no action that is materially inconsistent with its obligation to affirmatively further fair housing. Existing law defines “affirmatively furthering fair housing,” as provided. The Planning and Zoning Law requires that a housing element include, among other things, a program that sets forth a schedule of actions during the planning period. Existing law requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to develop a standardized reporting format for programs and actions taken pursuant to the requirement to affirmatively further fair housing. This bill would require the department to develop the above-described standardized reporting format on or before December 31, 2026. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws. (Based on 04/24/2025 text)
Position
Support
Notes -
This League-sponsored bill aims to bring objectivity and consistency to HCD’s housing element reviews.

Given past frustrations with HCD’s inconsistent and often subjective feedback, this bill would be helpful for every jurisdiction required to submit Housing Elements.

AB 712 (Wicks, D) Housing reform laws: enforcement actions: fines and penalties.

Status: 05/13/2025 - In Senate. Read first time. To Com. on RLS. for assignment.

Summary: Existing law within the Planning and Zoning Law describes various reforms and incentives enacted by the Legislature to facilitate and expedite the construction of affordable housing. Existing law within the Planning and Zoning Law, in certain civil actions or proceedings against a public entity that has issued specified approvals for a housing development, authorizes a court to award all reasonably incurred costs of suit to a prevailing public entity or nonprofit housing corporation that is a real party in interest and the permit applicant of the low- or moderate-income housing if the court makes specified findings. This bill, where the applicant for a housing development is a prevailing party in an action brought by the applicant to enforce the public agency’s compliance with a housing reform law as applied to the applicant’s housing development project, would entitle an applicant for a housing development project to reasonable attorney’s fees and costs and would require a court to impose fines on a local agency, as specified. The bill would prohibit a public agency from requiring the applicant to indemnify, defend, or hold harmless the public agency in any action alleging the public agency violated the applicant’s rights or deprived the applicant of the benefits or protection provide by a housing reform law. The bill would define housing reform law as a law that establishes or facilitates protections for the benefit of applicants for housing development projects or imposes limitations on a public agency for the benefit of housing development projects. (Based on 05/05/2025 text) Position

Oppose
Notes -
This bill escalates enforcement against local jurisdictions by requiring courts to impose fines and award attorney’s fees to applicants for prevailing lawsuits over housing law violations. It increases litigation risk and financial exposure for cities acting in good faith.

SB 79 (Wiener, D) Local government land: public transit use: housing development: transit-oriented development.

Status: 05/13/2025 - From committee with author's amendments. Read second time and amended. Rereferred to Com. on APPR.

Summary: Existing law prescribes requirements for the disposal of surplus land by a local agency. Existing law defines “surplus land” for these purposes to mean land owned in fee simple by any local agency for which the local agency’s governing body takes formal action declaring that the land is surplus and is not necessary for the agency’s use. Existing law defines “agency’s use” for these purposes to include land that is being used for agency work or operations, as provided. Existing law exempts from this definition of “agency’s use” certain commercial or industrial uses, except that in the case of a local agency that is a district, except a local agency whose primary purpose or mission is to supply the public with a transportation system, “agency’s use” may include commercial or industrial uses or activities, as specified. This bill would additionally include land leased to support public transit operations in the definition of “agency’s use,” as described above. The bill would also revise the definition of “agency’s use” with respect to commercial or industrial uses to instead provide that a district or a public transit operator may use land for commercial or industrial uses or activities, as described above. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws. (Based on 05/13/2025 text) Position

Notes -
This bill would require that a high-density housing development project proposed within a half-mile of a highquality transit development stop, as defined, be an allowed use on any site zoned for residential, mixed, commercial, or light industrial or commercial development "by right" if the development complies with applicable affordable housing requirements, essentially overriding the existing zoning law. Among light-rail line stops, the high-quality transit stop definition includes "Tier 2 transit-oriented development stops" served by a "bus rapid transit" line that is defined in California PRC 21060.2(a) as "...a public mass transit service provided by a public agency or public-private partnership that includes: (1) Full-time dedicated bus lanes or operation in a separate right-of-way dedicated for public transportation with a frequency interval of 15 minutes..." While Yorba Linda's three bus stops are not served by a bus line with a frequency interval of 15 minutes or operating in a dedicated right-of-way within Yorba Linda, there is ambiguity over the definition of "full time" and concern that the bill could ignore city boundaries and would apply to all bus stops on the whole route if the bus passes through a dedicated bus lane or serves any stop anywhere on the route every 15 minutes. This could effectively give control over local land use decisions to transit operators and even other jurisdictions.

SB 634 (Pérez, D) Local government: homelessness.

Status: 04/30/2025 - Read second time. Ordered to third reading.

Summary: The California Constitution authorizes a county or city to make and enforce within its limits all local, police, sanitary, and other ordinances and regulations not in conflict with general laws. Existing law establishes procedures for the enactment of ordinances by counties and cities and makes a violation of a county or city ordinance, as applicable, a misdemeanor unless by ordinance it is made an infraction. This bill would prohibit a local jurisdiction from adopting a local ordinance, or enforcing an existing ordinance, that prohibits a person or organization from providing support services, as specified, to a person who is homeless or assisting a person who is homeless with any act related to basic survival. The bill would define various terms for these purposes. This bill contains other existing laws. (Based on 04/28/2025 text) Position
Oppose
Notes -

The original language of this bill would have made it impossible for cities to enforce any local ordinances or laws criminalizing homelessness. However, due to significant opposition, Senator Perez has amended the bill to allow cities to continue enforcing anti-camping ordinances. Due to the timely nature of the campaign, the City sent opposition letters on April 17, 2025.

SB 677 (Wiener, D) Housing development: streamlined approvals.

Status: 05/01/2025 - Failed Deadline pursuant to Rule 61(a)(2). (Last location was HOUSING on 4/9/2025) (May be acted upon Jan 2026)
Summary: Existing law, the Planning and Zoning Law, requires a proposed housing development containing no more than 2 residential units within a single-family residential zone to be considered ministerially, without discretionary review or hearing, if the proposed housing development meets certain requirements. This bill would require ministerial approval for proposed housing developments containing no more than 2 residential units on any lot hosting a single-family home or zoned for 4 or fewer residential units, notwithstanding any covenant, condition, or restriction imposed by a common interest development association. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws. (Based on 04/09/2025 text) Position
Oppose
Notes -
This bill aims to make it easier to build duplexes, fourplexes, and multi-family housing in urban areas by strengthening key provisions of SB 9. The bill strengthens those provisions by: increasing the guaranteed allowance for a housing unit under SB 9 from 800 square feet to 1,750 square feet; prohibiting cities from charging impact fees for these units; eliminating the 60/40% urban lot split requirement; and remove owner occupancy requirements. Also overrides CC&R/HOA covenants. Althought the bill is "dead" in this session, there's always a chance it could be "resurrected" for next year and thus is worth opposing.

73/133/241/261 TOLL ROADS
TCA BOARDS APPROVE FISCAL YEAR 2026 BUDGETS
The San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor Agency (SJHTCA) and Foothill/ Eastern Transportation Corridor Agency (F/ETCA) Boards of Directors adopted the Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) budgets with expenditures totaling $421.8 million — $139.0 million for the SJHTCA and $282.8 million for the F/ETCA.

Key highlights within the FY26 budgets include a $47 million early paydown of bond principal for SJHTCA, as well as planning for the funding and phasing to advance three capital improvement projects: the 241/91 Express Connector, the 73 Catalina View Improvements and the 241 Loma Improvements.

In addition, other key budgeted initiatives include:
• Continuing with prudent asset management and replacement planning of operational equipment to balance risk with lifecycle efficiencies. • Safety improvements and modernization of The Toll Roads customer service center and TCA administrative office space.
• Continued implementation of one-way interoperability and expanded efforts towards full national interoperability. • An assessment of TCA’s long-term financial system needs to provide a future roadmap for accounting, budgeting, business intelligence, procurement and related system needs.
• Selection of phase one projects of TCA’s Habitat Conservation Fund.

The FY26 budgets reflect positive transaction and revenue trends while remaining fiscally conservative, maintaining the Agencies’ history of cost containment, incorporating FY26 activities from the Boards-approved strategic plan. The budgets are also aligned with the Agencies’ Boards-approved Toll, Liquidity and Debt Management Policies while meeting the fiduciary responsibility to bondholders. The approval of the budgets concludes a thorough and collaborative development process where members of TCA’s committees provided input.

CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER OPERATIONS CONTRACT EXTENSION
The F/ETCA and SJHTCA Boards approved a contract extension option with TTEC Government Solutions LLC to provide Customer Service Center (CSC) Operations including all aspects of customer interactions, payment processing and transponder fulfillment.

TTEC has maintained an “A” rating based on customer satisfaction surveys, even during various events that have impacted customer service volumes. TTEC has collaborated with TCA staff in the implementation of the service center’s recent back-office upgrade, as well as the cloud-based phone system upgrade.

TCA is committed to providing best in class customer service along with effective management of operations. The Agencies’ CSC supports approximately 2.8 million accounts, managing up to 150,000 calls per month, in addition providing transponder fulfillment for over 100,000 transponders per month.

TCA RECEIVES SUSTAINABILITY AWARD FOR CATTLE GRAZING PROGRAM CEO Ryan Chamberlain shared recent news of TCA’s honorable mention award at the Southern California Association of Governments’ (SCAG) 2025 Regional Conference and General Assembly.

Chair Kelley, Vice Chairs Oddo and Voigts, and Directors Hurt, Go and Lim were onsite to share in the SCAG Sustainability Awards recognition of TCA’s Live Oak Plaza Conservation Area Cattle Grazing Program in the Climate Action and Resource Conservation category.

The TCA Boards-adopted Cattle Grazing program is designed to improve and maintain the quality of biodiversity within the conservation site and reduce wildfire risk. It also serves as an example of TCA’s commitment to restoring and preserving native habitat in the region.
(Continued)

DEPUTY CEO AMY POTTER SET TO RETIRE
CEO Chamberlain announced the upcoming retirement of Deputy CEO Amy Potter and expressed gratitude for her 21 years of service to TCA and the public at large.

During Ms. Potter’s tenure, the Agencies have implemented sound fiscal planning and identified opportunities for bond refundings and early bond paydowns. These fiscal practices have helped solidify TCA’s current strong financial foundation. Several board members thanked Ms. Potter for her dedication and leadership over the years. She will officially retire from TCA on May 22.

ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT
DATE: MAY 20, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: DAVID ALBAUGH, ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING ON VACANCIES PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 3502.3

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council receive and file this report, and conduct a public hearing pursuant to Government Code Section 3502.3.

BACKGROUND
Assembly Bill 2561 (AB 2561) amended the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act by adding Government Code Section 3502.3, which requires local public agencies to enhance transparency and accountability in public sector staffing. The purpose of AB 2561 is to address growing concerns over staffing shortages in public agencies, which can lead to increased workloads, employee burnout, lower morale, and reduced service delivery to citizens.

DISCUSSION
AB 2561 mandates that public agencies hold at least one public hearing each fiscal year before the adoption of their budgets to report on vacancy levels, evaluate hiring and retention efforts, and allow for participation by recognized bargaining groups. Staff will present the following required information at the public hearing, including information for the 2024/25 Fiscal Year to date:

1. The status of vacancies at the City of Yorba Linda.

2. Information on the City of Yorba Linda’s recruitment efforts.

3. Obstacles in the City of Yorba Linda's policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that may create challenges in the hiring process.

If the number of job vacancies within a single bargaining unit equals or exceeds 20% of the total number of authorized full-time positions, the presentation must also include the following information:

1. The total number of job vacancies within the bargaining unit.

2. The total number of applicants for vacant positions within the bargaining unit.

PUBLIC HEARING ON VACANCIES PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 3502.3
P a g e | 2

3. The average number of days to complete the hiring process from when a position is posted.

4. Opportunities to improve compensation and other working conditions.

The presentation will include this additional information, but as of May 12, 2025, there are no bargaining units with a vacancy rate exceeding 20%.

The recognized employee organization for each bargaining unit at the City of Yorba Linda may also make a presentation during the public hearing concerning vacancies, recruitment, and retention efforts. There are two recognized employee organizations at the City of Yorba Linda: The Mid-Management Association and the Yorba Linda Chapter of the Orange County Employees Association. Staff have notified the City’s two bargaining units of the public hearing and advised them of their opportunity to address the City Council on the matter.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
DATE: MAY 20, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: NATE FARNSWORTH, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
PREPARED BY: NICHOLE VALDEZ, ADMINISTRAITVE SECRETARY II SUBJECT: COMMUNTY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT APPLICATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025/26 FUNDING

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the projects associated with Yorba Linda’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application for Fiscal Year 2025/26.

Furthermore, the Council may direct staff to submit an application package to the County of Orange Housing and Community Development offices for administrative assistance, in accordance with the previously approved Cooperation Agreement between the City of Yorba Linda and the County of Orange executed on June 17, 2014.

BACKGROUND
On an annual basis, the City of Yorba Linda participates in the CDBG program, for which the City submits an application for fiscal year funding. The program allocates federal monies for projects aimed at providing assistance to low-moderate income areas or neighborhoods and income-qualified individuals throughout the community.

For many years now the City has participated in a Cooperation Agreement with the County of Orange for joint participation in the City’s CDBG Program. Under this designation as a “Metro City”, Yorba Linda receives its full entitlement amount in accordance with the federal formula which allocates funding to eligible jurisdictions. As a Metro City, the County assists with specific documents, monitoring and reporting requirements and shares in the administrative costs related to the CDBG contracts.

DISCUSSION
The purpose of the CDBG program is to assist communities in providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and in expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income. The overriding purpose of the CDBG program is to support “brick and mortar” activities, e.g., acquisition, rehabilitation and preservation, and public improvements and facilities.

COMMUNTY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT APPLICATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025/26 FUNDING
P a g e | 2
In accordance with federal requirements and as outlined in the Citizen Participation Plan, the City is required to conduct a public hearing in connection with the application process and allow the community to provide input and suggestions related to the use of CDBG funds for the FY 2025/26 funding cycle.

The City will have available an estimated $261,014 in regular CDBG funds during the 2025/26 fiscal year. As such, the following programs are proposed for use of CDBG funding:

Use of CDBG Funds Proposed

$40,514 $39,152
Evergreen Villa Program:

Funds will be used for phase II for low-income senior community to help replace a portion of the complexes dilapidated roofs which will be completed in phases. The complex has three (4) buildings, fifty-two (52) units with one hundred fifty (150) residents.
$85, 564 $79,660

COMMUNTY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT APPLICATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025/26 FUNDING
P a g e | 3

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
All projects being proposed in the FY 2025/26 CDBG application have received a preliminary environmental review and will have clearance prepared for each project as categorically exempt.

FISCAL IMPACT
There are no fiscal impacts associated with the public hearing nor the preparation of the application for funding.

The Senior Nutrition Program provides a local community benefit by assisting lower income seniors and the disabled population with warm, balanced, and nutritional meals they may otherwise not have access to. Agencies can only use a maximum of 15% of CDBG funds to support this type of program. This funding has been a great resource to help offset General Fund staffing costs related to operating the program. Although the annual CDBG allocation may vary from year to year, the Parks and Recreation Department budgets funds through the annual budget process for any additional costs not covered by CDBG funding. It is important to note that this program also operates in a separate successful collaboration with Meals on Wheels Orange County. Meals on Wheels provides all the food associated with Senior Nutrition Program at no cost to the City of Yorba Linda.

Administrative costs associated with the CDBG program are capped at 20% of the annual grant award. As per the Cooperation Agreement with the County, the City and County equally share in the duties and responsibilities of administering program activities. As such, the City and the County will each receive 10% in CDBG administrative funds during the program year to help offset salaries and expenses associated with program implementation.

Funds related to the FY 2025/26 CDBG programs will be appropriated in the FY 2025/26 budget.

ALTERNATIVES
If City Council would like to reallocate funds from any of the programs, other than the Senior Nutrition Program and the Administration Program, staff can work with the County Board of Supervisors for approvals.

If the City Council were to decide not to participate in the CDBG application process, the funds that the City of Yorba Linda were to receive would then be given to the County of Orange to be distributed through a competitive process to other Orange County cities seeking additional funding.
