CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE STRATEGIC IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM (SIP) FOR FISCAL YEARS 2026-27 AND 2027-28
body
Summary:
The Strategic Implementation Program (SIP) is a list of City projects to complete within five fiscal years, before FY 2031-32, to achieve the community goals established in the Centennial General Plan. The SIP is a five-year implementation work program that is updated every two years as part of the City’s budget process.
Background:
On February 4, 2014, the City Council adopted the Centennial General Plan, the City’s comprehensive long-term policy document. A goal in the Governance Element is to “achieve continuous progress in implementing the Centennial General Plan by following the plan’s Strategic Implementation Program and by the sustained commitment to its values and visions.”
Discussion:
The SIP identifies projects on which the City should focus available resources, separate from recurring work necessary for regular City operations. Each department reviews the program and recommends which projects to include and prioritize in the five-year SIP and which projects to defer beyond the five-year period. After the SIP is drafted, the Planning Commission reviews the proposed SIP at a public meeting and forwards recommendations to the City Council. The SIP was updated during the budget process but was not acted upon, so staff requests a City Council decision.
On March 4, 2026, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution supporting the proposed SIP update and recommended adding a project to develop a zoning amendment or other incentives to support economic development along El Camino Real. The attached SIP was updated to include this change.
