IssueDetail
Issue Detail: On November 15, 2022, the City Council authorized the City Manager or designee to apply for a United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Fiscal Year 2023 Brownfields Multipurpose Grant (MPG) in the amount of $800,000. The purpose of the MPG is to: 1) fund environmental assessment to characterize and identify the source of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) impacting two City-owned properties at 3739 and 3801 Marysville Boulevard; 2) remediate the environmental conditions of the two City-owned properties, as necessary; and 3) develop a community-informed site reuse and revitalization plan that identifies existing conditions, specific actions, and funding sources for addressing development constraints within the four-block area of the Marysville Boulevard and Grand Avenue intersection. The USEPA notified the City in April 2023 that the grant application was successful, and the City Council accepted the MPG Cooperative Agreement (Contract #2023-1538) on November 14, 2023 (Resolution #2023-0348). In order to fulfill its obligations under the grant, the City must procure a qualified consultant to prepare the Revitalization Plan, as specified in the MPG Workplan.
The Revitalization Plan encompasses a comprehensive set of tasks designed to guide specific investments and policy decisions in alignment with community priorities while providing certainty of existing conditions for infill projects located along Marysville Boulevard between Arcade Creek and Interstate 80 (the Study Area).The work includes an update to the Real Estate Market Demand Report prepared in 2015 for the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Sustainable Design Assessment Team (SDAT) report - analyzing demographic, economic, and real estate trends to inform development opportunities.
The Plan also includes an Infrastructure Assessment that will evaluate existing conditions, system capacities, and needed improvements across transportation, utilities, environmental constraints, and drainage to support redevelopment in the Study Area. JLL’s scope also includes preparation of a Drainage Basin Hydraulic Study and an MS4 Water Quality Study for Drainage Basin G201. The City’s Department of Utilities (DOU) will conduct capacity modeling for water and sewer basin systems, which JLL will incorporate into the Infrastructure Assessment.
A feasibility analysis will explore development scenarios for the two City-owned parcels, including conceptual land use options, pro forma evaluations, and case studies from comparable jurisdictions. Additional tasks include identifying anti-displacement strategies, assessing relevant policies and regulatory frameworks, and developing strategic action recommendations to support equitable and sustainable redevelopment. A tailored engagement process will gather input through meetings, events, and collaboration with local partners to ensure inclusive participation.End

EconomicImpacts
Economic Impacts: Approval of the agreement will support preparation of the Revitalization Plan, which will identify market opportunities, infrastructure needs, development constraints, and strategies to facilitate reinvestment along Marysville Boulevard. Implementation of future recommendations could support catalytic infill development, attract private investment, expand commercial activity, create jobs, and strengthen the local tax base. Specific economic impacts cannot be quantified until individual projects and implementation actions are identified.

EnvironmentalConsiderations
Environmental Considerations: This report does not relate to a project requiring review under the California Environmental Quality Act, consistent with CEQA Guidelines sections 15060(c)(3) and 15378(b)(4), because it relates to government fiscal activities of the City that do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment; furthermore, this report relates to activities that are exempt from the National Environmental Policy Act (24 C.F.R. §58.34 (a)(1)).
End
Sustainability
Sustainability: The scope of the Revitalization Plan supports environmental sustainability by encouraging infill development that makes better use of existing land, infrastructure, and public services. By focusing growth within the established urban fabric, the plan helps reduce sprawl, reduce vehicle miles travel, and minimize the environmental impacts associated with extending new infrastructure.

RationaleforRecommendation
Rationale for Recommendation: In February 2026, the Economic Development Department issued a Request for Proposals soliciting submissions from consulting firms for the development of a comprehensive Reuse and Revitalization Plan for the Del Paso Heights Town Center and surrounding Marysville Boulevard corridor area. In April 2026, the City received four proposals. The selection committee conducted a review and evaluation of the submittals based on team qualifications and experience, understanding of the project, proposed approach and project management, and budget. The City held interviews with the top firms in May 2026 to further review the firms’ proposed scope and understanding of the project. Following the proposal review and interviews, Jones Lang LaSalle Americas, Inc. (JLL) ranked highest among the submitted proposals.

FinancialConsiderations
Financial Considerations: The total cost of the Revitalization Plan is $354,725, including $324,725 for JLL’s Professional Services Agreement and $30,000 for the Sanitary Sewer Hydraulic Study to be completed by DOU. The Revitalization Plan will be funded by three sources, including $140,000 (Operating Grants, Fund 2702) from the Marysville and Grand EPA Grant Project (G02180110), $114,725 (Revolving Loan Fund, Fund 2029) from the Brownfields Revolving Loan Program Income Project (I02180800), and $100,000 (2003 Del Paso Heights Tax-Exempt Tax Allocation Bond Fund, Fund 3807) from the Marysville Boulevard Investment Initiative (MBI) Project (I02180700).
On November 14, 2023, the City Council accepted the Multipurpose Grant Cooperative Agreement (Contract # 2023-1538) and authorized the City Manager or designee to establish the Marysville and Grand Multipurpose Grant Project (G02180110) along with revenue and expenditure budgets in the amount of $800,000 in the Operating Grant Fund (Fund 2702) (Resolution #2023-0348). The USEPA-approved Workplan for the MPG allocates $140,000 for development of the Revitalization Plan and sufficient funds remain in the Marysville and Grand EPA Grant Project (G02180110) for this purpose.
In 1997, the City established a Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) Program funded by the USEPA to provide low-interest loans and grants for environmental remediation of contaminated properties. The USEPA allows the City to keep the closed RLF loan repayments plus the interest earned on those funds as Post Closeout Program Income (PCPI). On March 26, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution #2019-0085 authorizing the City Manager or designee to execute Closeout Agreement #2019-1023 and establish the Brownfields Revolving Loan Program Income Project (I02180800). On January 31, 2023, the City Council authorized the City Manager or designee to execute Closeout Agreement Contract #2023-0196, which replaced the previously approved Closeout Agreement. Under the new Closeout Agreement (Contract #2023-0196) reuse planning for brownfield sites is an eligible expense and sufficient funds remain in the Brownfields Revolving Loan Program Income Project (I02180800) to be used for reuse planning and other eligible purposes.
On December 11, 2018, the City Council authorized the City Manager or the City Manager’s designee to establish the Marysville Boulevard Investment Initiative (MBI) Project (I02180700) along with revenue and expenditure budgets in the amount of $1 million to be used to facilitate, identify, and implement catalytic economic and environmental transformation along the Marysville Boulevard commercial corridor, with a focus on the Marysville Boulevard and Grand Avenue intersection (Resolution #2018-0478). Sufficient funds remain in the MBI Project (I02180700) to be used for the Revitalization Plan. The Revitalization Plan supports the intent of the MBI as it will be used to guide specific investments and policy decisions in alignment with community priorities while providing certainty of existing conditions for catalytic infill projects located along Marysville Boulevard.
