Capital Improvement Program FY 2026-2027 Finding of Conformity with the General Plan / Coastal Land Use Plan

The City of Goleta is conducting a Finding of Conformity for the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Capital Improvement Program to ensure all proposed projects align with the goals, policies, and implementation measures of the General Plan and Coastal Land Use Plan. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65401, the Planning Commission must perform this annual review to verify that infrastructure investments support the community buildout anticipated by the General Plan. The final determination from the Planning Commission is then forwarded to the City Council for consideration during the annual budget adoption process. The scope of the program includes long-term development and maintenance initiatives managed by the Public Works Department, focusing on the acquisition or construction of new infrastructure as well as necessary repairs to existing streets, parks, and public facilities. This forecast is categorized under NAICS code 541620 and is managed by the Assistant Planner. While associated documentation mentions CEQA exemptions for administrative activities, the primary objective of this action is the regulatory verification of infrastructure projects to ensure legal and strategic compliance with city planning mandates.
