RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Parking and Public Improvements Commission (PPIC) review the proposed projects included in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-2027 through 2030-2031 Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Plan and provide any comments or feedback. All feedback will be presented to the City Council at its forthcoming budget meetings scheduled for May 2026.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Manhattan Beach is committed to maintaining its capital infrastructure in a well-kept, up-to-date condition. A core mission of the City is to guarantee that its facilities and infrastructure meet the current and future needs of the community it serves. This is accomplished by planning for and implementing a robust Capital Improvement Program that addresses physical assets throughout the City, including, but not limited to, streets and other right-of-way facilities, water, sewer, storm drain infrastructure, public buildings, parks and open spaces, and community amenities.
In alignment with the budget adoption cycle, the Public Works staff begins by reviewing the City’s current Five-Year CIP Plan and proposes modifications and enhancements in response to evolving priorities, available funding, and new project information. This report provides a comprehensive overview of the proposed Five-Year CIP Plan for the fiscal years 2026-2027 through 2030-2031. The projects are categorized by funding source and include prior, current, and anticipated allocations.
The proposed Five-Year CIP Plan encompasses projects amounting to more than $177 million. In this year's annual update, staff focused on the ongoing execution of projects that ensure compliance with stormwater quality regulations, enhancements to the sanitary sewer system, upgrades to parks, parking structures, and facilities, recreational amenities, and the continuation of citywide street resurfacing and traffic enhancements.
On April 22, 2026, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Five-Year CIP Plan for FY 2026-2027 through FY 2030-2031. The City Council is scheduled to receive a presentation concerning the proposed Five-Year CIP Plan on May 5, 2026, and May 12, 2026, with a public hearing set for June 2, 2026. Any feedback and suggestions from the PPIC regarding the proposed list of projects will be conveyed to the City Council.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed Five-Year CIP Plan consists of 107 projects totaling $177,756,730. This includes projects already underway as well as those to be initiated within the next five years. Of the planned expenditures, approximately $94.4 million is for projects approved in prior years, and the remaining $83.4 million represents projects planned for implementation in FY 2026-2027 through 2030-2031. Collectively, the proposed Five-Year CIP Plan budget is comprised of:
$32.9 Million Building, Park, Facilities, Air Quality (CIP)
$45.9 Million Streets, Sidewalks, and Other Rights-of-Way Projects (ROW)
$10.2 Million Parking Lot Projects
$2.2 Million State Pier and Lot Projects

$19.7 Million Grant Funded Projects

PUBLIC OUTREACH:
The public has been informed of this agenda item as part of the City’s standard meeting notice practices via public bulletin boards, website calendar, and social media. Staff members will engage in various community meetings, including presenting the Five-Year CIP Plan during public meetings of the Planning Commission, the Parking and Public Improvements Commission, and the City Council. This Five-Year CIP Plan reflects the priorities outlined in the City Council Work Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The City has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that activity is not a “Project” as defined under Sections 15378(b)(4) and (5) of the State CEQA Guidelines because the proposed action is an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and the proposed action includes the creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities, which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. The CIP Plan is a prioritizing and funding allocation program and cannot, and does not, have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no further environmental review is necessary.
