Ordinance No. 1359 (Inclusionary Housing)

The City of Folsom has enacted Ordinance No. 1359 to amend Chapter 17.104 of its Municipal Code, specifically updating the methodology for calculating in-lieu fees for residential development projects and making non-substantive clarifying revisions to improve clarity and consistency in the language. This action is administrative in nature, involving no physical construction, development, or environmental impact, and has been determined to be exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines §15061(b)(3) and §15378(b)(4), supported by relevant provisions of the Public Resources Code. The amendment applies city-wide within Folsom, California, with no physical deliverables or performance period specified, as it constitutes a regulatory update rather than a procurement or construction contract. The ordinance is not a federal contract and does not incorporate any Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses, nor does it include pricing, line items, cost estimates, or payment terms typically associated with federal or state procurement. There are no contract values, solicitation numbers, or evaluation factors established since this is not a competitive bidding process. The City of Folsom, through its Planning Department and designated contact Desmond Parrington, acts as the sole administrative authority responsible for the adoption and implementation of the ordinance. Supporting documentation includes a certified exemption finding and a Notice of Exemption, which were filed with Sacramento County for record purposes, but no formal attachments, packaging standards, inspection criteria, or contractor certifications are applicable. The action is purely legislative and regulatory, focused on ensuring compliance and transparency in the city's inclusionary housing policies.
