La Habra planning commission finds seven‑year capital improvement program consistent with General Plan 2035

La Habra Planning Commission on an evening meeting approved a resolution finding the proposed fiscal‑year 2025–26 seven‑year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) consistent with the City of La Habra General Plan 2035.

Andrew Luna, senior civil engineer, presented the staff report and said the proposal is organized into three categories: in‑progress projects, proposed projects and projects on a deferred list. He told commissioners the proposed seven‑year CIP includes 28 in‑progress projects, 37 new projects — including annual street improvements and sidewalk repair — and 36 projects on a deferred list that will move forward as funding becomes available. "The proposed 7 year capital improvement program is categorized in 3 distinct sections," Luna said.

The resolution before the commission would find the CIP consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan pursuant to Government Code sections 65103 and 65401. No members of the public spoke during the hearing on the CIP. After brief staff presentation and no further discussion, the commission voted 4‑0 to approve the resolution; the chair announced the resolution will become final in 10 working days unless appealed to the City Council.

The staff presentation did not include a detailed funding breakdown in the portion presented to the commission, and commissioners did not request additional budget detail at the meeting. The record indicates the proposal groups projects by implementation status rather than by specific funding sources; funding sources were not specified in the staff report presented this evening.

The meeting adjourned with a brief staff announcement that there likely will be no items ready for the commission's next regular meeting. The commission's next regular meeting was announced as July 14.
