Planning Commission

Meeting Date:

Subject:

FINDING THE PROJECTS INCLUDED IN FISCAL YEAR 2020-21 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE GENERAL PLAN

REQUEST

Review the list of proposed Public Works projects recommended for planning, initiation or construction during the ensuing year and report to the City Council as to conformity with the General Plan.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt a Resolution finding Fiscal Year 2020-21 projects within the Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP), as outlined in the attachments to this report, are in conformance with the General Plan.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION

BACKGROUND
Government Code Section 65401 requires that the Planning Commission review the list of projects in the Fiscal Year 2020-21 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and verify conformance with the General Plan. Subsequent to the Planning Commission’s adoption of the Resolution for the CIP’s general conformance, the City Council will then adopt the proposed CIP budget which is anticipated to occur in June 2020.

DISCUSSION
The goals of the CIP are to enhance the quality of life in the community, maintain the City’s infrastructures and improve traffic systems within the City. There are twelve new included in the projects proposed in the 2020-21 CIP. The existing/carryover CIP projects were determined to be in conformance with the General Plan previously. The new projects included in the 2020-21 CIP are listed below:

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT

The environmental documentation and/or clearance for most projects have been completed. Environmental documentation for the other remaining projects will be prepared or initiated prior to start of construction. The Resolution lists all the projects in the CIP for the next year and a summary of the status of their environmental clearance. This conformance is ministerial and as such is exempt by Article 18 Section 15268(a) from the requirements of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED

Jennifer A. Lilley, AICP, City Planner
Concurrence: Michael Ho, P.E. Deputy Director of Public Works/City Engineer
