Planning commission finds FY 2026–27 CIP consistent with general plan, approves resolution
Summary
The Vallejo Planning Commission voted to find the proposed FY 2026–27 Capital Improvement Program consistent with the General Plan, approving Resolution PC 26 after staff outlined three new projects (two in the Hidden Brook LMD and Measure P cycle 3 street work). Commissioners asked for maps and PCI methodology.
The Vallejo Planning Commission on Thursday voted to approve a resolution finding the proposed fiscal year 2026–27 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) consistent with the city’s General Plan.
Fernando Bravo, representing Public Works, presented the CIP and said it includes three new projects for the year: a Hidden Brook traffic-calming project, a Hidden Brook pavement rehabilitation project funded through the Hidden Brook land-maintenance district (LMD), and Measure P cycle 3 street-pavement work. Bravo said staff reviewed the projects for consistency with Chapter 6 of the General Plan and included findings in the staff report.
Commissioner Blind moved to adopt Resolution PC 26, finding the CIP consistent with the General Plan; the motion passed with six ayes. The commission’s action was a recommendation to City Council on conformity with the General Plan, not a final appropriation for construction funding.
During questioning, commissioners pressed staff on how projects were selected and who would pay for the Hidden Brook work. Staff said Hidden Brook is a special-assessment (LMD) district and the two Hidden Brook projects would be funded by assessments collected from that district; staff stated no general‑fund dollars were required for the Hidden Brook projects. On Measure P, staff described a 10‑year pavement program with a roughly $120,000,000 budget over 10 years and said the city’s pavement condition index (PCI) averages about 43 out of 100.
Questions about timing drew staff explanations of process: Measure P cycle 3 work starts with design and selection of street segments, the Measure P committee would appropriate design funds, and City Council would later consider construction funding after bids and budget review. Staff agreed to provide commissioners with maps showing proposed street segments and to explain the PCI methodology and any safety/accident data that informed priorities.
The commission also heard public comments urging the city to consider community-serving facilities and to prioritize severely deteriorated thoroughfares such as Springs Road and Tennessee Street. Staff noted Springs Road has a federally funded project in final design and said Measure P cycles have delivered and will continue delivering centerline miles of pavement work in recent years.
What's next: The commission’s resolution on consistency will appear in the Council packet for further action on project appropriation; staff committed to provide the commission with maps and more detail on project limits and the PCI methodology before Council consideration.
