Category: Consent Item
Department: Police
Department Head: Aaron Reel, Police Chief
Meeting Date: April 1, 2026
SUBJECT:
AUTHORIZE THE IMPERIAL POLICE DEPARTMENT TO DESTROY RECORDS
RETAINED PAST THE RETENTION PERIOD.
BACKGROUND:
The Imperial Police Department maintains records in accordance with an established
Records Retention Schedule, which complies with California Government Code
Sections 34090 et seq. These statutes authorize the legislative body of a city to destroy
records that are no longer required, provided that such destruction is done in
accordance with an approved retention schedule and with the approval of the City
Council.
Over time, the Imperial Police Department has accumulated a substantial volume of
records that have exceeded their required retention periods. These records include
administrative, financial, and operational documents generated between 1979 and
2014. Maintaining these records beyond their retention periods results in unnecessary
use of storage space and increased administrative burden.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
REQUESTED ACTION:
Request to authorize destruction of attached reports.
CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDATION:
Approve recommended action.

Department: Community Development

Meeting Date: April 1, 2026
SUBJECT:
PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE PURPOSE OF VACATING A PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY
PORTION OF IMPERIAL AVENUE BETWEEN 1ST STREET AND STATE HIGHWAY
86 AND ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 2026-11 APPROVING THE INTENT TO
VACATE.
BACKGROUND:
In 2016, the State of California relinquished all sections of State Highway 86 (SR 86)
intersecting the City of Imperial to the City. This relinquishment enabled the city to begin
developing a lively commercial corridor aimed at promoting economic growth. Since
then, the city has actively worked toward this goal and has added commercial
businesses along SR 86.
The proposed right-of-way vacation of the section of Imperial Avenue between 1st
Street and SR 86 will support the future planning goals outlined in the City of Imperial
Land Use Element by creating a valuable parcel for economic development. The current
improvements along SR 86 and the redeveloped right of way segment proposed to be
vacated will not only enhance the overall look of the SR 86 corridor but also serve as an
economic development catalyst, influencing how commercial businesses view, use, and
invest in our city.
The Development Review Committee evaluated the project and concluded that the
proposed vacation would not adversely affect local streets’ connectivity, traffic
circulation, or emergency access. The vacation will optimize land use by removing an
unused public right-of-way segment, which, when redeveloped, will align with the long-
term land use and circulation strategies outlined in the General Plan. The Imperial
Planning Commission approved Resolution PC2026-03 on March 11, 2026, confirming
the vacation’s conformance with the General Plan and recommending final approval to
the City Council.
DISCUSSION / ANALYSIS
California Government Code Section 65402 requires that any acquisition, disposition, or
public construction of real property by a governmental entity must be reviewed for
Page 106 of 158

[PAGE 107]
C.1.
consistency with the adopted General Plan. The proposed vacation of the portion of
Imperial Avenue between 1st Street and State Highway 86 has been reviewed and
found consistent with the City’s General Plan policies for the Central Downtown
Character Area.
The Central Downtown Character Area is intended to serve as the City's civic, social,
and commercial center. It encourages a mix of uses that contribute to the area’s vitality,
including retail, restaurants, cultural destinations, and higher-density residential
development.
While no specific zoning designation has been assigned to this parcel at this time, the
site’s location and size make it suitable for uses compatible with the Central Downtown
Character Area, including residential and accessory commercial activities that directly
support the primary use.
Environmental Compliance
The project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) under Section 15305 (Class 5) – Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations.
Public Notification
The public hearing scheduled for April 1, 2026, was duly noticed in the IV Weekly, a
newspaper of general circulation, on March 19, 2026. A Notice of Public Hearing was
sent to all property owners within 300 feet of the properties and posted at the project
site.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed right-of-way vacation of Imperial Avenue between 1st Street and SR 86
will support the future planning goals outlined in the City of Imperial Land Use Element
by creating a valuable parcel for economic development.
REQUESTED ACTION:
Approve Resolution 2026-11, A RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO VACATE A PUBLIC
RIGHT-OF-WAY.

Meeting Date: April 1, 2026
SUBJECT:
ESTABLISHING A POLICY FOR THE PROCESSING OF SPECIFIC RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS CONSISTENT WITH GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION
65583.2
BACKGROUND:
The City of Imperial adopted its 6th Cycle Housing Element (2021-2029), which was
found to be in substantial compliance with State Housing Element Law by the California
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on February 2, 2022.
As part of the adopted Housing Element, the City committed to implementing Program
13, which requires the City to allow by-right approval for certain housing developments
on sites previously identified in prior Housing Element inventories. The purpose of this
program is to facilitate the development of housing that addresses the City’s Regional
Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), particularly housing for lower income households.
Program 13 requires the City to rezone or amend the Zoning Code to allow by-right
approval for housing developments proposed on:
• Non-vacant sites included in one previous Housing Element inventory, and
• Vacant sites included in two previous Housing Element inventories, provided that
the development includes at least 20 percent lower income affordable housing
units. State law requires these actions to be completed within specific statutory
timelines to maintain Housing

A RESOLUTION OF CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IMPERIAL, ESTABLISHING
A POLICY FOR THE PROCESSING OF SPECIFIC RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
PROJECTS CONSISTENT WITH GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65583.2
WHEREAS, the City of Imperial adopted its 6th Cycle Housing Element for the planning

WHEREAS, the Housing Element identifies programs and policies intended to facilitate
the development of housing opportunities for all income levels and to address the City’s
Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA); and
WHEREAS, Program 13 of the City of Imperial Housing Element requires the City to
amend its Zoning Code to allow by-right approval of qualifying housing developments on
certain sites identified in prior Housing Element site inventories in order to accommodate
lower income housing needs; and
WHEREAS, Program 13 specifically requires that the City rezone or amend its Zoning
Code to allow by-right approval for housing developments proposed on non-vacant sites
included in one previous Housing Element inventory and vacant sites included in two
previous Housing Elements, provided that the development includes at least twenty percent
(20%) lower income affordable housing units; and
WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 65583.2 requires jurisdictions to
allow certain residential developments to be processed through a by-right approval process
when the development includes a minimum percentage of affordable housing units and is
located on sites identified to accommodate lower income RHNA; and
WHEREAS, implementing Program 13 and allowing by-right approval of qualifying
housing developments will help streamline the housing entitlement process, reduce
regulatory barriers, and support the production of affordable housing consistent with state
housing laws; and
WHEREAS, failure to implement Program 13 and associated rezoning actions may
result in the City’s Housing Element being found out of compliance with state law and may
subject the City to consequences including loss of certain state funding opportunities and
potential enforcement actions by the State of California.

furnish to Buyer, at Seller’s expense, a preliminary title report and binder on the

the Property, and a copy of all rental agreements and other evidence of the

The Title Commitment shall be issued by Stewart Title of California, Inc. (“Title
Company”) and shall show good and marketable title in Seller.
B. Site Investigation Period. Buyer shall have one hundred eighty (180) days

suitable for Buyer’s intended purpose. The investigation may include, without
limitation, soil and sub-soil conditions, wetland demarcations, environmental,
engineering, surveys, land use and planning, utility and other studies. Any such
entry shall be at Buyer’s expense and risk (holding Seller harmless from any
claims for injury to person or property arising from Buyer’s activities on the
Property), but shall not constitute a taking of possession, and Buyer shall return
each test location to substantially its original condition. This investigation may

[PAGE 151]
also include (i) obtaining final approval by a major tenant for the development of
a store on the Property and (ii) dealing with governmental bodies with authority
over the Property. Should Buyer determine that the Property is not suitable,
Buyer shall provide written notice of same to Escrow Holder within five (5) days
after the end of the Site Investigation Period and the Deposit shall then be
promptly returned to Buyer and this Agreement shall be terminated with no
further obligations to either party.
C. Development Approvals. If the Property needs to be rezoned, replatted, its
permitted use changed or similarly redesignated or have building permits issued
(“Development Approvals”), Buyer shall have one hundred eighty (180) days
from the end of the Site Investigation Period to use reasonable efforts to
accomplish such Development Approvals (“Development Approval Period”).
Buyer shall pay all costs of Development Approvals, and Seller will cooperate (at
no cost) in that effort.
D. Disposition and Development Agreement. This transaction is subject to a finding
of Public Benefit and Disposition and Development Agreement by the City of
Imperial City Council.
5. Seller’s Warranties. Seller represents and warrants, to induce Buyer to enter into the
Agreement, in addition to any other representations herein, as of the date hereof and the date of
Close of Escrow (and all representations and warranties shall survive the Close of Escrow) that:
A. Seller owns good and marketable fee simple title to the Property;
B. Seller has the authority to execute this Agreement and transfer title as stated;
C. At Close of Escrow, title to the Property will be free and clear of all leases, liens,
easements, covenants, restrictions, parties in possession and/or special
encumbrances, except title exceptions permitted by Buyer;
D. To the best of Seller’s actual knowledge after investigation, the Property,
including soil, sub-soil, surface and ground water, improvements and anything
else on or under the Property now is and at Close of Escrow will be free of all
contamination including but not limited to asbestos, hazardous waste or hazardous
substances, as defined by applicable federal and state laws, and by the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended and regulations thereunder,
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act,
the Clean Water Act, the California Hazardous Waste Control Act, the California
Health and Safety Code, or similar and applicable laws and regulations. Seller
further has neither been advised of nor received any notice regarding any
contamination affecting the Property;
E. There are no violations of any laws or regulations of applicable governmental
authorities affecting the Property, nor are there any governmental or other actions
or legal proceedings pending or threatened against Seller or the Property;
99999\1241235v3 - 3 - 3/25/26
Page 151 of 158

[PAGE 152]
F. There are no special assessments or eminent domain proceedings pending or
threatened against Seller or the Property;
G. The Property has full, free and adjacent access to and from public highways and
roads and there are no facts or conditions which would result in such access being
altered; and
H. From and after the date hereof and until Close of Escrow, Seller will maintain the
Property in good order and condition and not permit or commit waste thereon.
For purposes of this Agreement, whenever the phrase “to Seller’s knowledge” or words of
similar import are used, they shall be deemed to refer to the actual knowledge of (i) the City of
Imperial, (ii) all employees or agents of Seller with supervisory responsibilities concerning the
Property, and (iii) such other persons at a management or supervisory level who would, in the
ordinary course of their responsibilities as employees or agents of Seller, receive notice from
other agents or employees of Seller or from other persons or entities of any of the matters
described in the representations and warranties in this Agreement which are limited by the
knowledge of Seller.
6. Condemnation. If, prior to Close of Escrow, any part of the Property is taken pursuant to
eminent domain proceedings (or private purchase in lieu thereof), or any such proceedings
commence, then Buyer may elect by written notice to Seller either to terminate this Agreement
or proceed to Close of Escrow with an adjustment in the Purchase Price equal to any
condemnation award or payments received or to be received by Seller. Upon any such
termination pursuant to this paragraph, this Agreement shall be terminated without any rights or
obligations from or to either party and the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, there is no litigation pending or, after due and diligent inquiry, to
Seller’s knowledge, threatened, against Seller that arises out of the ownership of the Property or
that might detrimentally affect the value, ownership, use or operation of the Property or the
ability of Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Seller shall notify Buyer
promptly of any such litigation of which Seller becomes aware.
7. Default. If either party fails either to waive a condition or to terminate this Agreement,
and because of such failure the other party wants to claim a default, the other party shall give
written notice specifying the nature of the failure to the alleged defaulting party, who shall have
thirty (30) days (or such time as is reasonable if the failure cannot be reasonably cured in thirty
(30) days) to cure the failure. If the failure is on the part of the Seller, Buyer may terminate this
Agreement, elect to cure the failure on behalf of Seller, or seek specific performance and/or
damages. If the failure is on the part of Buyer, Seller’s exclusive remedy shall be to receive the
Deposit as full liquidated damages.
IN THE EVENT THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT IS
NOT CONSUMMATED SOLELY BECAUSE OF A DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT
ON THE PART OF BUYER, THE DEPOSIT (TO THE EXTENT DEPOSITED INTO
ESCROW BY BUYER) SHALL BE PAID TO AND/OR RETAINED BY SELLER AS
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT SELLER’S ACTUAL
DAMAGES, IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT BY BUYER, WOULD BE EXTREMELY
99999\1241235v3 - 4 - 3/25/26
Page 152 of 158

[PAGE 153]
DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICABLE TO DETERMINE. THEREFORE, BY PLACING THEIR
INITIALS BELOW, THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE DEPOSIT HAS BEEN
AGREED UPON, AFTER NEGOTIATION, AS THE PARTIES’ REASONABLE ESTIMATE
OF SELLER’S DAMAGES AND AS SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY
AGAINST BUYER, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT UNDER

of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and requiring Buyer to cooperate with Seller
(by executing such documents and taking such actions as may be reasonably necessary) to
effectuate the transaction as a like-kind exchange. Buyer is to be at no cost or expense in the
