Title
REVIEW OF PROPOSED 2026-28 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR CONSISTENCY WITH THE CITY OF CLAREMONT GENERAL PLAN - APPLICANT - CITY OF CLAREMONT
Body
SUMMARY
State law requires the Planning Commission review the City's proposed Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for consistency with the General Plan. While the CIP serves as a planning document outlining possible capital improvement projects over the next five years, only 2026-28 will be funded as part of the current budget development process; thus, the CIP review focuses only on projects anticipated during the 2026-28 fiscal years.
RECOMMENDATION
Recommended Action
Staff recommends the Planning Commission make the finding that the proposed 2026-28 Capital Improvement Program Budget is consistent with the City of Claremont General Plan.
Body
ALTERNATIVES TO RECOMMENDATION
In addition to the staff recommendation, there are the following alternatives:
A. Identify how the proposed 2026-28 Capital Improvement Program is inconsistent with the General Plan, make revisions and then find the revised 2026-28 Capital Improvement Program consistent with the General Plan.
B. Request further information.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The proposed 2026-28 Capital Improvement Program Budget includes funding in the amount of $12,984,308 for a variety of street and sidewalk maintenance, sewer repairs, storm drain/water infiltration projects, accessibility, cemetery expansion, and traffic signal modification projects, among others. This funding is proposed to come from a number of special revenues, capital projects, and enterprise funds to fund the projects outlined in the proposed CIP for 2026-28.
ANALYSIS
The General Plan calls for the development and maintenance of an orderly, clean, and safe community. Staff finds the projects proposed for 2026-28 meet this overarching goal of the General Plan.
An overview of the Capital Improvement Program, summary of funding sources, five-year CIP plan, as well as project detail sheets for 2026-28 are included as an attachment to this report. In this document, staff has identified the specific General Plan Goals, Policies, and Implementation Measures that apply to each project to assist the Planning Commission in making the finding that the proposed 2026-28 Capital Improvement Program is consistent with the General Plan.
