Commission finds CIP in conformance with general plan, staff to follow up on Fifth Street in‑lieu fees
Summary
On the consent calendar the Planning Commission unanimously found the Fiscal Year 25‑26 Capital Improvement Program in conformance with the General Plan (Resolution 2025‑033); commissioners asked staff to report back on whether fees collected in lieu for Fifth Street appear in the CIP.
The Planning Commission unanimously adopted the consent calendar finding that the Fiscal Year 2025‑26 Capital Improvement Program conforms to the city’s adopted General Plan, approving Resolution 2025‑033.
Staff said the Fiscal Year 25‑26 CIP had been adopted by City Council with the budget at last week’s council meeting and that Government Code Section 65401 requires the Planning Commission to make a finding of general plan conformance. Staff acknowledged a timing issue that prevented the Commission’s review prior to Council action and said counsel concurred that the finding could be made after the fact for the record.
Commissioner questions
One commissioner asked about money previously collected in lieu of fees specifically conditioned for Fifth Street and whether those funds appeared in the CIP. Public Works Director Lynn Merrill replied there was no specific CIP line item for the in‑lieu fees and that a staff member who could answer (Azam Jabscha) was on vacation; Merrill said staff could provide a follow‑up answer at the next meeting.
The consent calendar item was adopted by roll call vote with all commissioners present voting yes.
