EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Pursuant to State Law, the Planning Commission is responsible for reviewing the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP), and finding that the projects contained in the CIP are consistent with the City’s General Plan. Community Development Department staff was involved in the CIP preparation process and confirms that the projects listed in the document are consistent with the City’s General Plan.
BACKGROUND
As part of the annual budget preparation process, the City Council adopts an updated Five-Year Capital Improvement Program. The current update will span the years of 2022 through 2027. The continued priority of the CIP is the maintenance and improvement of the City’s infrastructure, including sewers, storm drains, streets, Harbor/Pier assets, parks and recreation facilities, and public buildings.
The CIP includes projects previously approved in various phases of development, along with new additional proposed projects. The CIP document will be released to the City Council and the public on May 16, 2022, and therefore will be distributed to the Planning Commission as a blue folder item prior to the May 19th meeting, but after release of the agenda.
The Community Development Department is involved in the CIP preparation process, and confirms that the proposed projects are consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan elements, including Land Use, Circulation, Safety, Utilities, Parks and Open Space.
The Planning Commission’s role is limited to a determination of consistency with the General Plan in this process. The Planning Commission role does not include prioritization of the projects, evaluation of costs, or determining the efficacy of implementing any of the projects. This is the role of the City Council, in consultation with the Budget and Finance Commission and Public Works Commission.
City Council approves the Five-Year Capital Improvement Program simultaneously with the annual budget adoption each June. Planning Commission finding of consistency occurs in May, to align with the timing for City Council adoption the following month.
