I SUBJECT
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Anderson City Council Joey Forseth-Deshais, City Manager
Oliver Collins, Chief of Police
February 3, 2026
Memorandum of Understanding for the Replacement of Livescan Devices.

I RECOMMENDATION
Manager
City staff recommends that the City of Anderson Council approve the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) among the County of Shasta, City of Redding, and City of Anderson for the replacement of Livescan devices and authorize the Integrated Public Safety (JPS) Board to proceed with the procurement and implementation of the new systems.

I FISCAL IMPACT
Shasta County Probation will provide $152,455.08 in funding for the Livescan device replacement through the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) Executive Board. Ongoing maintenance costs for the new devices will be shared among the parties based on a cost-sharing ratio of 45% (Redding), 45% (County of Shasta), and 10% (Anderson) for shared systems.

Individual jurisdictions will be responsible for systems located within their facilities.

ITEM 6.9 PAGE1 2/3/2026
22 I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
The MOU establishes a formal agreement between the parties to procure and implement new Livescan systems, addressing fiscal responsibilities and operational guidelines. The existing Livescan devices are outdated and require replacement for more efficient law enforcement operations. The IPS Board, comprising the Chiefs of Police from Redding and Anderson, along with the Shasta County Sheriff, has agreed to replace seven Livescan devices, with funding approved by the CCP Executive Board. The City of Redding will act as the purchasing agent and will facilitate the procurement through a Professional Services Agreement with Data Works Plus.

The MOU further delineates responsibilities for ongoing maintenance, allowing for collaborative funding of shared systems while permitting individual agencies to maintain devices in their jurisdictions. Additionally, it includes provisions for optional expenses and change orders that may arise during implementation, ensuring all parties are aligned in managing costs and responsibilities.

The Integrated Public Safety (IPS) task force operates under a Memorandum of Understanding initially executed on October 5, 2022, and amended on November 9, 2023. This agreement consolidates efforts among the County, City of Redding, City of Anderson, and the Shasta Area Safety Communications Agency (SHASCOM) to enhance public safety through improved technology. The decision to replace the Livescan devices aligns with ongoing public safety objectives, as confirmed by the IPS Board's determination that current devices are substandard.

As approved by the CCP Executive Board, the total budget for the replacement is set at $152,455.08, ensuring effective execution of law enforcement capabilities across the jurisdictions involved. The recommendation to approve this MOU aims to enhance operational efficiency and public safety in the communities served.

C. The IPS Board agreed to incorporate the maintenance of the Livescan devices (SYSTEM or SYSTEMS) into IPS. The IPS Board has determined that the current Livescan devices are not practical to continue supporting and are now substandard.

The IPS Board determined to replace the seven (7) Livescan devices (SYSTEM or SYSTEMS) and received approval from the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) Executive Board on October 16, 2024, for $130,000, and approval of an increase to $152,455.08 on October 27, 2025 to fund the cost of the replacement SYSTEM using 2011 AB 109 Realignment planning and implementation fund balance.

D. The IPS Board confirms that the City of Redding, acting as the agent for the COUNTY, REDDING, AND ANDERSON, shall procure a replacement SYSTEM through a Professional Services, Purchase and Software License Agreement with DataWorks Plus, attached hereto at Exhibit A. ("DataWorks Agreement").

II I. Purpose
The purpose of this MOU is to provide an agreement between the PARTIES for the purchase and implementation of the replacement SYSTEM and to accept funding from CCP to purchase the new SYSTEM
IV. Authorization
The PARTIES hereby agree to authorize the IPS Board to execute decisions relative to the SYSTEM replacement project according to the terms of the existing IPS Agreement and this MOU. In the event of a conflict between the existing IPS Agreement and this MOU, this MOU shall govern. This MOU shall exist concurrently with the existing IPS Agreement and shall survive the termination of the existing IPS Agreement. This MOU shall also exist 25 concurrently with any successor IPS Agreement unless its termination is explicitly stated in the successor IPS Agreement. In event of a conflict between the successor IPS Agreement and this MOU, this MOU shall govern. In the event of a conflict between the existing IPS Agreement, the DataWorks Agreement (Exhibit A), and this MOU, this MOU shall govern.

V. Fiscal
A. Shasta County Probation on behalf of the CCP Executive Committee shall provide the City of Redding, as agent for the IPS Board, a total of $152,455.08 for the SYSTEM replacement.

B. IPS will be responsible for on going maintenance of the SYSTEM including maintenance agreement as outline in Exhibit A. All costs related to the maintenance agreement of the SYSTEM will be billed through IPS annual billing and apportioned as indicated below.

1. The COUNTY, REDDING, AND ANDERSON, hereby agree to share in SYSTEM ongoing expenses of SYSTEMS located at the County Jail, Alternative Custody Program, and Probation at the same cost sharing ratio as established in the current IPS Agreement which specifies a cost sharing ratio of 45/45/10 for the City of Redding, County of Shasta, and the City of Anderson respectively.

2. The COUNTY shall be solely responsible for the expenses related to the SYSTEMS located at Shasta County Sheriff's Office Records (2).

3. ANDERSON and REDDING shall be solely responsible for the expenses related to the SYSTEMS located at each individual jurisdictional location (one (I) each).

4. 'Optional' expenses, defined as any expenses which are not described herein, shall be subject to a review by the IPS Board members and be put to a vote. A unanimous vote in the affirmative shall be required before such expenses are deemed as shared by the IPS BOARD according to the terms of this MOU and the IPS Agreement.

C. Nothing herein is intended to prevent one or more members of the IPS BOARD from incurring optional expense(s) to their individual Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) budget(s) in support of independent objectives. Such optional expenses shall not be included in the shared cost. Each LEA that desires to incur any optional expense under this section shall ensure that separate funding is appropriated in their budget for such expense and the IPS Board, upon confirmation of such appropriation, may authorize a change order with the SYSTEM Vendor to implement the independent objective. The LEA incurring the optional expense shall remit to the City of Redding payment for the full cost of the independent option no later than 90 days from IPS Board authorization for the change order.

VI. System
A. The PARTIES acknowledge that the SYSTEM cost as stated in the Data Works Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A is$152,455.08 for hardware, software, implementation and related services.
26 B. The PARTIES agree, the CCP funding shall fund $152,455.08 toward the hardware, software, delivery, installation, configuration, and related services as negotiated with DataWorks Plus.

C. The PARTIES recognize and agree that the final cost of the SYSTEM is subject to a number of factors including any change-orders incurred after a contract is executed, and ancillary activity costs, and as such additional contingency costs are factored into the total maximum compensation authorized under this MOU.

D. Change Orders

1. The PARTIES acknowledge and agree that change orders are a typical and expected activity in technology projects. A change order is the result of an unanticipated modification to the scope of work contracted with the selected vendor. Change orders result from a variety of causes and may result in minimal or extensive charges or reductions to the overall project scope and/or expense.

2. The COUNTY, REDDING, AND ANDERSON, agree to share in the cost, and/or savings, of any change order that occurs during the course of SYSTEM implementation. The PARTIES authorize the City of Redding Chief of Police to sign change orders on the behalf of the PARTIES, and the REDDING Project Manager to sign change orders with no monetary value on behalf of all the PARTIES, provided that prior to such signature any change order has been approved unanimously by all Project Managers (PM). Should there not be unanimous approval by the PMs the requested change order will require a unanimous vote of the IPS Board.

3. Any LEA opposed to such a change order may petition the remaining LEA(s) to be excused from sharing the cost if the feature, function or other purpose precipitating the change order can be reasonably applied only to those willing to share in the cost of the change order. Any such petition must be approved by a unanimous vote of the IPS Board.

4. The total cumulative increase of all change orders shall not exceed the lesser of 20 percent of the contract amount, or $30,491.02, Change orders that exceed this threshold will require an amendment to this agreement.

5. Any change order(s) that is for the benefit of a single PARTY is considered an optional expense(s) not shared costs and will be the responsibility of the individual PARTY and are not to be factored into the change order limit in the preceding section.

E. Should the total cost, including any change orders that benefit more than a single PARTY, and applicable California Use Tax exceed the maximum allowable AB109 funding under this MOU, each of the PARTIES agree to pay for the overage based on the percentage of their respective number of Livescan devices to the total seven Livescan devices being replaced. Those percentages are:
a. City of Redding
b. City of Anderson
c. Shasta County

14.29 percent of overage

14.29 percent of overage

71.42 percent of overage
27 F. Nothing in this MOU precludes the IPS Board from separately purchasing required SYSTEM hardware, operating systems, and other tangible goods that would be warrantied through their respective manufacturers if such procurement reduces the overall SYSTEM cost or provides other fiscal, logistical, or operational benefits to the PARTIES.

VII. Maintenance Agreement
D. The Data Works Agreement for the SYSTEM includes an initial warranty period of one year as part of the initial purchase price. A maintenance agreement, negotiated with Data Works Plus, is also included in the Data Works Agreement. Each PARTY shall be obligated to share in the expense of the maintenance agreement and all future maintenance agreements so long as that PARTY continues to participate in IPS and in use of the SYSTEM. The maintenance costs shall be factored into future IPS budgets and paid through each LEA's annual contributions to the IPS Fund., The maintenance costs shall be divided among the COUNTY, REDDING, and ANDERSON based upon the percentages 45/45/10 respectively for the three (3) shared machines located at the County Jail, at ACP and Probation. Maintenance of the machines dedicated to each LEA will be paid by the respective agency.

VIII. Opt-Out Provisions
E. The PARTIES recognize and agree that REDDING, as the purchasing agent under the IPS Agreement, will incur significant financial risk on behalf of the PARTIES and through contractual obligations to the selected vendor. As such, the PARTIES hereby commit to funding the SYSTEM implementation as outlined in Section V.

F. Following implementation and initial warranty period of the SYSTEM, future participation in the SYSTEM is subject to paid maintenance and licensing costs as well as shared costs of any upgrades. If a PARTY chooses to opt-out of future expenses, such as software upgrades, hardware upgrades, maintenance, and licensing costs, for any reason or if funding for an LEA's IPS annual contribution ceases or is materially decreased requiring opt-out, they shall, without delay, provide notification to the IPS Board. All costs associated with a PARTY opting out shall be the responsibility of the leaving PARTY. The ownership of all hardware, software, and services as itemized within the Data Works Agreement are governed by IPS, and as such, shall remain with IPS, to be utilized by all continuing members.

G. The PARTIES waive any and all legal recourse for recovery of contributions beyond those provided herein.

IX. Operational Roles and Responsibilities
H. In addition to existing responsibilities identified in the IPS Agreement, the following operational guidelines in Section VIII B are established to address the implementation process and initial operations of the SYSTEM.

I. The PARTIES agree and recognize that operational roles and responsibilities, as defined under the existing IPS Agreement, are insufficient to address matters relevant to the implementation of the replacement SYSTEM. Therefore, the PARTIES agree to the following additional operational guidelines. 28 1. The PARTIES agree that the IPS Board shall form a Project Management Team to guide the implementation of the SYSTEM and to fairly represent the interest of each LEA.

2. The PARTIES agree that their respective LEA will allocate and assign personnel resources to participate as individual members of a Project TEAM which shall be formed for the purpose of informing each respective agency and other Project TEAM members in decisions related to the implementation of the replacement SYSTEM.

3. The COUNTY, REDDING, AND ANDERSON, agree that their respective LEA will assign a dedicated Project Manager to represent their agency interests to the Project Management Team in all matters related to the SYSTEM implementation process and initial operational period. Each LEA Project Manager will serve to coordinate and oversee the activities, act as a conduit ofinformation between the Project Management Team and their respective agency staff, and serve as a liaison between the Project Management Team and their respective Agency Head. SHASCOM shall not have a Project Manager.

X. Term, Termination
The TERM of this MOU will be from the date of the final signature until October 5, 2027.

It may be terminated at an earlier date upon written agreement signed by all PARTIES.

XI. Dispute Resolution
J. Should any dispute or disagreement arise during the term of this MOU, the PARTIES authorize the IPS Board to negotiate in good faith and compromise to resolve the issue. The IPS Board shall seek relevant input regarding the disputed matter from supporting staff and agencies such as IPS line-staff, PARTIES' Information Technology staff, PARTIES' administrative offices, and PARTIES' legal staff.

K. Legal action through the courts shall be the final recourse of the PARTIES having exhausted all other means to resolve disputes or disagreements arising from or relating to this MOU. Any party may file its complaint/legal action without first engaging in the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section XI (A), when done to prevent a lapse in the relevant limitations period(s). Any such litigation shall be brought and completed through settlement, dismissal or judgment in the Superior Court for the County of Shasta.

XII. Indemnification
It is agreed that each of the Parties shall, for its sole negligence, or sole willful conduct, mutually save and hold each of the other parties and each of the other parties' appointed and elected officials, its agents, representatives, volunteers, and employees harmless from all costs, expenses, losses, liability, and damages, including death or damages to property caused by any act or neglect of such party, its agents, representatives, volunteers, officials, or employees in the performance of this agreement.

ITEM 7.0a PAGE1 2/3/2026
33 I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
In May 2025, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) requested that the City of Anderson provide additional information to demonstrate compliance with state housing law, including Housing Element Program HE 1.3 (Density Bonuses and Other Regulatory Incentives). To address this requirement, City Staff have prepared amendments to Section 17.43 to bring it into alignment with the current State Density Bonus Law, Government Code Sections 65915-65918.

California Government Code Section 65915 mandates that cities and counties grant developers a density bonus, along with other incentives and waivers of development standards, in exchange for including a certain percentage of affordable housing units in their developments. This law encourages the production of housing for very low-, low-, and moderate-income households by allowing for increased density and reducing development costs.

The current version of the Anderson Municipal Code (AMC) Section 17.43 - Residential Density Bonus was codified in 2011 with Ordinance 771. During the review and update of the 6111 Cycle Housing Element 2019-2028, it was determined that AMC Section 17.43 was not in compliance with state law. Zone Amendment (ZA 25-01) is proposed to update the AMC Section 17.43 to reflect the current State requirements for California Government Code Section 65915-65918.

Key Aspects of the Density Bonus Law Include:
• Density Bonus: Developers can increase the maximum number of units allowed on a property beyond the amount set by the local General Plan. • Affordable Housing Units: To qualify for the density bonus, a development must include a specified percentage of units affordable to lower-income, very low-income, or moderate-income households.
• Incentives/Concessions: Local governments must grant these cost-reducing incentives, such as reduced parking requirements or open space requirements, unless they can prove a specific adverse impact on public health, safety, or historical resources.
• Waivers of Development Standards: Local governments must also grant waivers or reductions of physical development standards that would otherwise prevent a project from being built at the bonus density.
• Parking Reduction: Developers can receive a reduction in required parking ratios for their projects.

To be eligible for a density bonus, a housing development must include five or more units and include one of the following criteria:

A minimum percentage of units for very low-, low-, or moderate-income households. • Housing for senior citizens, transitional foster youth, disabled veterans, or homeless persons.
• Student housing for low-income students.
• A land donation for affordable housing or the inclusion of a child-care facility.

ITEM 7.0a PAGE2 2/3/2026
34 Proposed Amendments to Chapter 17.43:

Specific changes to the text of Chapter 17.43 are included in a "Redline" version, which is included as Attachment C of the staff report package. The following list includes a summary of the proposed revisions by subsection for Chapter 17.43. • 17.43.010 - Includes an update to the purpose of intent, including language establishing the updated Government Code (GC) sections 65915 - 65918 as may be amended from time to time. This language specifies the GC sections and allows for consideration of GC updates without necessitating multiple ordinance amendments. • 17.43.0Z0(F) - Includes an updated definition of "Density Bonus" as an increase of density over the maximum density of the City General Plan consistent with the density qualifications of Government Code Section 65915. • 17.43.0Z0(U) - Spelling correction for low-income.
• 17.43.030 - Implementation section allows for density bonus and incentives based on specific sections of the government code, based on a sliding scale of housing units and percentage of density increase as per Government Code Sections 6591S(b)(1),(k), and (I).
• 17.43.030 - Implementation now applies to projects providing affordable units for student housing, Residential Care Facilities for Elderly, Transitional Foster Youth, disabled veterans, and projects that are one-hundred percent affordable. • 17.43.040 - Development Standards language specifically increases the number of years for restricted affordability to fifty-five years to ensure units retain affordability.
• 17.43.040 Development Standards increases the number of concessions/incentives to 4 for one-hundred percent affordable projects (Gov Code §65915(d)).
• 17.43.050 - Development Incentives: Applicants seeking a waiver or modification of development or zoning standards shall show that such waivers or physical modifications are necessary to make the housing development feasible in accordance with Government Code Section 65915(e).
• 17.43.050 - Development Incentives allow Parking standards are reduced as low as

0.5 spaces/unit for 100% affordable units with Government Code Section 65915(p). • 17.43.060 - Application requirements (Gov Code §65915(a)-(e)) updated procedural requirements will be provided in a public handout to allow flexibility to ITEM 7.0a PAGE3 2/3/2026
35 accommodate changes to permitting procedures without revisions to the City Municipal Code.
• 17.43.070 - Applicants/developers requesting a density bonus for affordable housing shall agree to enter into an affordable housing agreement with the city. The terms of the draft agreement shall be reviewed and revised as appropriate by the planning director, consistent with Government Code Section 65915, who shall formulate a recommendation for final approval to a City official. • Cities are required to grant the density bonuses for compliant applications unless specific written findings are made.

At its October 27th, 2025, meeting, after careful consideration and review, the Planning Commission approved and adopted P.C. Resolution No. 25-04.

Environmental Determination:

The City of Anderson finds that this Ordinance is not a "project" according to the definition outlined in the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), and, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15061(b)(3) (there is no possibility the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment), the adoption of this ordinance is therefore not subject to the provisions requiring environmental review.

PUBLIC NOTICE:

A 20-day public hearing notice of the subject project was published in the RecordSearchlight and in accordance with notice requirements provided in AMC Section

Chapter 17.43 RESIDENTIAL DENSITY BONUS

17.43.010 Purpose and intent.

The purpose of this chapter is to establish policies that implement state housing law under California Government Code Section 65915 through 65918, as may be amended from time to time. Residential Density Bonuses_provide incentives consistent with state law, for the construction of housing units that are affordable to very low-, low-, and moderateincome persons and families. Further, it serves to provide incentives for the construction of housing units that are of unique design quality and configuration ( e.g., clustered housing).

A density bonus is an increase over the otherwise maximum residential density allowable under the zoning ordinance and the general plan. It provides developers an opportunity to increase the number of units within a proposed residential development in exchange for including within the project a specified number of units that are affordable to very low-, low-, or moderate-income persons and families and/or units that are of unique design quality and configuration. State law also allows the city to provide incentives other than, or in addition to, an increase in density for affordable housing ifrequested by an applicant. Accordingly, the purposes of this chapter are to:

1. Establish procedures for allowing an increase in density above the maximum residential density allowed by the general plan and zoning ordinance.

2. Provide for flexibility in applying zoning regulations and development standards in order to facilitate the development of affordable housing and/or housing of unique design quality and configuration.

3. Provide incentives to developers to encourage the inclusion of affordable housing within residential projects.

4. Encourage architectural diversity in order to avoid monotonous and repetitive subdivision design and appearance.

5. Preserve and enhance neighborhood appearance through creative building design, use of materials, landscaping, and street layout.

17 .43.040 Development standards.

Affordable units should be constructed concurrently with market-rate units unless both the city and the developer agree within the affordable housing agreement to an alternative schedule for development.

Attachment B - Residential Density Ordinance
page 5 of 10
43 Affordable units shall remain restricted and affordable to the designated group for a period of fifty-five years ( or a longer period of time if required by the construction or mortgage financing assistance program, mortgage insurance program, or rental subsidy program), under the following circumstances:

1. Both a density bonus and an additional incentive is granted; or

SRO (residential hotel unit): 0.75 person
0 bedroom (studio): 1 person
1 bedroom: 2 persons
2 bedrooms: 3 persons
3 bedrooms: 4 persons
4 bedrooms: 6 persons
Affordable units should be built onsite wherever possible and, when practical, be dispersed within the housing development. Where feasible, the number of bedrooms of the affordable units should be equivalent to the bedroom mix of the market-rate units of the housing development; except that the developer may include a higher proportion of affordable units with more bedrooms. The design and appearance of the affordable units shall be compatible with the design of the total housing development. Housing developments shall comply with all applicable development standards, except those which may be modified as provided by this chapter.

Circumstances may arise in which the public interest would be served by allowing some or all of the affordable units associated with one housing development to be produced and operated at an alternative development site. Where the developer and the city form such an agreement, the resulting linked developments shall be considered a single housing development for purposes of this chapter. Under these circumstances, the developer shall be subject to the same requirements of this chapter for the affordable units to be provided on the alternative site.

An affordable housing agreement shall be made a condition of the discretionary planning permits (e.g., tract maps, parcel maps, site plans, planned development or conditional use permits, etc.) for all housing developments pursuant to this chapter. The agreement shall be recorded as a restriction on the parcel or parcels on which the affordable units will be constructed. To ensure units retain affordability during the time period of fifty-five years per Government Code Sections 65915 - 65918 as may be amended from time to time.

17.43.040 Development standards.

Affordable units should be constructed concurrently with market-rate units unless both the city and the developer agree within the affordable housing agreement to an alternative schedule for development.

Affordable units shall remain restricted and affordable to the designated group for a period of~fifty-five years (or a longer period of time if required by the construction or mortgage financing assistance program, mortgage insurance program, or rental subsidy program), under the following circumstances:

1. Both a density bonus and an additional incentive is granted; or

2. An equivalent financial incentive equivalent to a density bonus and an additional incentive is granted.

J\ffordable 1:1Aits sl:lall remain restrieted aAel af.ferdable to ttle designated gro1,1p for a period efteA years 1:1neler the fellowing eirc1:1mstanees:

Page4 of 8
52 2 bedrooms: 3 persons
3 bedrooms: 4 persons
4 bedrooms: 6 persons
Affordable units should be built onsite wherever possible and, when practical, be dispersed within the housing development. Where feasible, the number of bedrooms of the affordable units should be equivalent to the bedroom mix of the market-rate units of the housing development; except that the developer may include a higher proportion of affordable units with more bedrooms. The design and appearance of the affordable units shall be compatible with the design of the total housing development. Housing developments shall comply with all applicable development standards, except those which may be modified as provided by this chapter.

Circumstances may arise in which the public interest would be served by allowing some or all of the affordable units associated with one housing development to be produced and operated at an alternative development site. Where the developer and the city form such an agreement, the resulting linked developments shall be considered a single housing development for purposes of this chapter. Under these circumstances, the developer shall be subject to the same requirements of this chapter for the affordable units to be provided on the alternative site.

An affordable housing agreement shall be made a condition of the discretionary planning permits (e.g., tract maps, parcel maps, site plans, planned development or conditional use permits, etc.) for all housing developments pursuant to this chapter. The agreement shall be recorded as a restriction on the parcel or parcels on which the affordable units will be constructed. The agreemeRt shall be eensisteRt with Seetien 17.43.Q7Q. to ensure units retain affordabf1ity during the t ime period of fift -five ~ ars ,Per Government Code Sections 65915 - 65918 as may be amended from time to time.

17.43.050 Development incentives.

The city may provide a density bonus and an additional incentive, for qualified housing developments, upon the written request of a developer, unless the eit\' makes a written fiRdiRg that the additienal iReeRtive is net Reeessary te make the heusing de..-el01=1ment eeenemieally feasible aRd te aeeemrnedate a densit't' benus, The development incentives granted for affordable housing shall contribute significantly to the economic feasibility of providing the affordable units. Applicants seeking a waiver or modification of development or zoning standards shall show that such waivers or physical modifications are necessary to make the housing development eeenemieall\' feasible in accordance with Government Code Section 65915(e). This requirement may be satisfied by reference to applicable sections of the city's general plan.

The need for incentives will vary for different housing developments. Therefore, the allocation of additional incentives shall be determined on a case-by-case basis. The additional incentives may include, but are not limited to, any of the following:

1. A reduction of site development standards or a modification of zoning code or architectural design requirements which exceed the minimum building standards provided in Part 2.5 (commencing with Section 18901) of Division 13 of the California Health and Safety Code, and as described in subdivisions l e) and (p} of Government Code Section 65915 as mav be amended from time to time.

ITEM 7.0b PAGE1 2/3/2026
57 I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
In May 2025, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) requested that the City provide additional information to demonstrate compliance with state housing law, including Program HE 2.4 (Residential By-Right for Development with 20 Percent Affordable). To address this requirement, City staff have prepared an amendment to Section 17.18.020 to bring Chapter 17.18 into alignment with current State Law.

Proposed Amendment to Chapter 17.18- General Commercial District (C-1):

Specific changes to the text of Chapter 17.18 are included in a "Redline" ordinance as Attachment 8 of the staff report package. The following text includes the proposed text update for Chapter 17.18- General Commercial District (C-1) • 17.18.020(C): Residential development shall be permitted by-right when 20- percent or more of the proposed units are restricted as affordable to lower-income households, in accordance with Government Code Section 65583.2(c). Parcels subject to the "by-right" development standard will be listed in the Vacant Land Inventory of the current Housing Element under the C-1 zone designation.

At its October 27th, 2025, meeting, after careful consideration and review, the Planning Commission approved and adopted P.C. Resolution No. 25-05.

Environmental Determination:

The City of Anderson finds that this Ordinance is not a "project" according to the definition outlined in the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), and, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15060( c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15061(b)(3) (there is no possibility the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment), the adoption of this ordinance is therefore not subject to the provisions requiring environmental review.

PUBLIC NOTICE:

A 20-day public hearing notice of the subject project was published in the RecordSearchlight and in accordance with notice requirements provided in AMC Section

17.54.040 - Zoning Amendments and Government Code Section 65854, requiring a 20-day hearing. The Planning Department received no public comments on the project at the time of this report.

ITEM 7.0c PAGE1 2/3/2026
71 I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
In May 2025, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) requested that the City provide additional information to demonstrate compliance with state housing law, including Program HE 3.1, to remove unnecessary constraints to the availability of housing for all segments of the population. To address this requirement, City staff have prepared amendments to Rural Estate (R-E), Mixed Use (MU), Agriculture (AG), and Natural Resource (NR) to align with current State Law. The updated ordinances align with state housing law by including transitional and supportive housing as permitted residential uses, consistent with Senate Bill 2 (SB 2) and its amendments to Government Code Sections 65582- 65589.5. The ordinances also update local provisions for farmworker and employee housing to allow up to 12 units or 36 beds without discretionary review, consistent with Health and Safety Code Section 17021.6.

The current version of AMC Section 17.30 - Natural Resource was codified in 1987 with Ordinance 515, AMC Section 17.15 - Mixed Use was codified in 2009 with Ordinance 757, and AMC Sections 17.14 - Rural Estate and 17.16 - Agriculture were codified in 2011 with Ordinance 711. During the review and update of the 6th Cycle Housing Element 2019-2028, a determination was made that AMC Sections 17.14, 17.15, 17.16, and 17.30 were not fully consistent with current state housing laws. The proposed Zone Amendment (ZA 25-03) updates the AMC Sections 17.14, 17.15, 17.16, and 17.30 to ensure compliance with SB 2 and AB 2162 requirements for transitional and supportive housing.

Key Aspects of SB 2:
• Increases opportunities for transitional and supportive housing by requiring local jurisdictions to allow such housing by right in all zoning districts that permit residential uses.
• Ensures fair access to housing for individuals and families in need of supportive services by removing zoning and permitting barriers that previously restricted these uses.

Key Aspects of AB 2162
• Builds on SB 2 by further clarifying that supportive and transitional housing must be treated as a residential use and allowed by right in zones where multi-family housing is permitted, consistent with Government Code Sections 65650-65656. • Establishes a ministerial approval process for qualifying supportive housing developments, prohibiting cities and counties from imposing additional requirements, standards, or procedures beyond those that apply to other residential uses in the same zone.
• Amends Health and Safety Code Section 17021.6 to ensure that transitional and supportive housing are treated as residential uses subject only to objective standards.

ITEM 7.0c PAGE2 2/3/2026
72 Eligibility Requirements for SB 2 and AB 2162 Projects:
• SB 2: The housing type must meet the definition of transitional and supportive housing under Government Code Section 65582. The project must be treated as a residential use and subject to only the same objective development standards that apply to other residential uses in the same zone.

AB 2162: The project must be supportive housing as defined under Government Code Section 65582 and comply with the ministerial approval process under Government Code Sections 65650-65656. At least 25% of the total units must be restricted to supportive housing for individuals within target populations defined by state law. Projects may include on-site supportive services and can qualify for density bonuses, land donations, or the inclusions of child-care facilities or other supportive amenities, as allowed under state housing laws.

17.15.050(8)(14) - Provides a definition of Transitional Housing consistent with Government Code Section 65582(q), "Buildings configured as rental housing developments, but operated under program requirements that require the termination of assistance and ITEM 7.0c PAGE3 2/3/2026

ITEM 7.0d PAGE1 2/3/2026
98 I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
In May 2025, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) requested that the City of Anderson provide additional information to demonstrate compliance with state housing law, including Housing Element Program HE 3.2 (Continue to Expedite Applicants for Residential Development). To address this requirement, City staff have prepared amendments to Section 17.02 to bring it into alignment with current State Law, Government Code Section 65913.4.

California Senate Bill 35 (SB 35) establishes a streamlined, ministerial approval process for qualifying housing developments through Government Code Section 65913.4. Under SB 35, projects that meet specified criteria must be processed ministerially and are not subject to conditional use permits or other discretionary reviews. The City's review is limited to applying objective zoning, design, and subdivision standards that are in effect at the time a complete Notice of Compliance is submitted.

The current version of Anderson Municipal Code (AMC) Section 17.02 - General Provisions was codified in 1987 through Ordinance No. 515. During the review and update of the 6th Cycle Housing Element (2019- 2028), the City determined it was appropriate to amend AMC Section 17.02 to encourage pre-application meetings to expedite permit processing for housing development and to incorporate provisions reflecting SB 35. Zone Amendment (ZA 25-04) proposes to update AMC Section 17.02 to align with the requirements of California Government Code§ 65913.4.

Key Aspects of SB 35 Streamlined Ministerial Approval Process:
• Streamlined Ministerial Approval: Project meeting SB 35 criteria are processed ministerially, meaning they do not require discretionary permitting approvals such as conditional use permits or design review hearings.
• The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): CEQA does not apply to SB 35 projects.
• Objective Standards Still Apply: The City can still check proposed SB 35 projects for compliance with the City's objective standards.
• Processing Times: The City must determine whether a project is eligible for SB 35 within 60 days for projects of 150 units or fewer, and 90 days for projects of more than 150 units. Once a project is deemed eligible, the City must complete its ministerial review within 90 days of application submittal for projects of 150 units or fewer, and within 180 days for projects of more than 150 units.

To be eligible for an SB 35, a project must comply with the following requirements:
• Minimum Affordable Units: At least 50% of the total units must be restricted for low- or very low-income housing for a period of no less than 55 years.

ITEM 7.0d PAGE2 2/3/2026
99 • Urban Infill: The property must be in an urban area (services already available), with 75% of the site's perimeter already developed.
• Minimum Units: At least two residential units must be proposed. • Designated Residential Use: The City's current general plan and zoning designation must allow residential or residential mixed-use with at least two-thirds of the proposed development footprint designated for residential use. • Location: The development cannot be located on property within any of the following areas:
o Very or very high fire hazard severity zone;
o Delineated earthquake fault zone;
o Habitat for protected species or wetlands;
o Farmland (prime/statewide significance);
o Under a conservation easement;
o Flood plain/floodway; and
o Hazardous waste site.

No Displacement: SB 35 projects cannot demolish or displace existing affordable housing.

Proposed Amendments To Chapter 17.02:

Specific changes to the text of Chapter 17.02 are included in a "Redline" version included as Attachment B of the staff report package. The following list includes a summary of the proposed revisions by subsection for Chapter 17.02.
• 17.02.155: Describes the purpose of pre-application meetings for proposed development and specifies that the City will promptly schedule meetings upon request to help expedite the processing of development projects. • 17.02.160: This new section provides that housing projects eligible for SB 35 may receive an Administrative Use Permit if they comply with the City's objective zoning, subdivision, and design standards. It sets the legally required review timelines to ensure projects are processed efficiently and, if the City does not respond in time, projects are deemed approved. In all cases, California Government Code §65913.4 prevails over any conflicting local standards.

At its November 17th, 2025, meeting, after careful consideration and review, the Planning Commission approved and adopted P.C. Resolution No. 25-09.

Environmental Determination:

The City of Anderson finds that this Ordinance update is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21080.085, which exempts CEQA review for zoning ordinance amendments that implement programs contained within an approved Housing Element.

ITEM 7.0e PAGE1 2/3/2026
118
I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
In May 2025, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) requested that the City of Anderson provide additional information to demonstrate compliance with state housing law, including Housing Element Program HE 6.2 (Homeless Services). To address this requirement, City staff have prepared amendments to Section

17.15 to align it with the current State Housing Law, Government Code Sections 65660- 65666.

California Assembly Bill 101 (AB 101) establishes Low Barrier Navigation Center development by right in areas zoned for mixed use and nonresidential zones permitting multifamily uses. AB 101 defines Low Barrier Navigation Center as a Housing First, lowbarrier, service-enriched shelter focused on moving people into permanent housing that provides temporary living facilities while case managers connect individuals experiencing homelessness to income, public benefits, health services, shelter, and housing. Under AB 101, projects that meet specified criteria must be processed ministerially and are not subject to conditional use permits or other discretionary reviews.

The current version of the Anderson Municipal Code (AMC) Section 17.15 - Mixed Use was codified in 2009 through Ordinance No. 757. During the review and update of the 6th Cycle Housing Element (2019- 2028), the City determined it was appropriate to amend AMC Section 17.15 to allow Low Barrier Navigation Centers by right and to incorporate provisions reflecting AB 101. Zone Amendment (ZA 25-05) proposes to update AMC Section 17.15 to align with the requirements of California Government Code Sections 65660-65666.

Key Aspects of AB 101 Low Barrier Navigation Center development:
• Ministerial Approval: Project meeting AB 101 criteria are processed ministerially, meaning they do not require discretionary permitting approvals such as conditional use permits or design review hearings.
• The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): CEQA does not apply to an action taken by a public agency to lease, convey, or encumber land owned by a public entity or to facilitate the lease, conveyance, or encumbrance of land owned by a public agency, or to provide financial assistance to, or otherwise approve, a Low Barrier Navigation Center constructed. Additionally, Low Barrier Navigation Center developments, under certain circumstances, would expand the exemption for the ministerial approval of projects under CEQA.
• Objective Standards Still Apply: The City can still check proposed Low Barrier Navigation Center projects for compliance with the City's objective standards. • Processing Times: AB 101 establishes processing timelines to help streamline the review process. Within 30 days of receiving an application for a Low Barrier Navigation Center development, the City shall notify the applicant whether the application is complete. Within 60 days of receiving a completed application, the City shall take action on the application.

ITEM 7.0e PAGE2 2/3/2026
119
To be eligible for a Low Barrier Navigation Center development, a project must comply with the following requirements per California Government Code Section 65662:
• It provides services designed to connect individuals to permanent housing through a services plan that identifies staffing and the types of services offered. • It is linked to a coordinated entry system, allowing staff at the facility or staff collocated there to conduct assessments and connect participants to permanent housing. For purposes of this requirement, a coordinated entry system is a centralized or coordinated assessment system and related procedures that manage participant intake, assessment, and referrals.
• It complies with Chapter 6.5 (commencing with Section 8255) of Division 8 of the Welfare and Institutions Code.

It maintains a system for recording information on client stays, demographics, income, and exit destinations through the local Homeless Management Information System.

Proposed Amendments To Chapter 17.15:

Specific changes to the text of Chapter 17.15 are included in the "Redline" version, attached as Attachment B to the staff report package. The following list summarizes the proposed revisions by subsection for Chapter 17.15.
• 17.15.050 - Amends Table 17-2: Permitted Uses to include Low Barrier Navigation Center as permitted uses in all areas within the Mixed-Use District. • 17.15.050(8)(9) - Provides a definition of Navigation Centers consistent with Government Code Section 65660, '"Low Barrier Navigation Center' means a Housing First, low-barrier, service-enriched shelter focused on moving people into permanent housing that provides temporary living facilities while case managers connect individuals experiencing homelessness to income, public benefits, health services, shelter, and housing. A Low Barrier Navigation Center may be non• congregate and relocatable."
• 17.15.080 - This new section provides definitions, requirements, and application procedures for Low Barrier Navigation Centers consistent with Government Code Sections 65660-65666.

At its December 15th, 2025, meeting, after careful consideration and review, the Planning Commission approved and adopted P.C. Resolution No. 25-11.

Environmental Determination:

The City of Anderson finds that this Ordinance update is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21080.085, ITEM 7.0e PAGE3 2/3/2026
120
which exempts CEQA review for zoning ordinance amendments that implement programs contained within an approved Housing Element.

PUBLIC NOTICE:

A 20-day public hearing notice of the subject project was published in the Record Searchlight and in accordance with notice requirements provided in AMC Section

17.54.040 - Zoning Amendments and Government Code Section 65854, requiring a 20-day hearing. The Planning Department received no public comments on the project at the time of this report.

17.15.010 Purpose, intent, and applicability.

A. Chapter Purpose and Intent. The purpose of this Chapter is to establish unique allowed use and development standards for subject property within the Mixed Use area as defined by the City of Anderson Zoning Code. It is the intent of these standards to help preserve and protect the existing, historic, and unique character of Downtown Anderson by requiring new construction and remodels and existing construction to enhance the existing built environment and provide additional development opportunities. Additionally, the application of these standards will enable the Downtown area to become a pedestrian-oriented shopping, doing, entertainment, and living center for the city and environs.

B. Applicability of Standards and Entitlement Review. The standards of this chapter apply to all property zoned Mixed Use. Uses that require a use permit as listed in Section 17.050 (Allowed use regulations) shall obtain a use permit.

The Downtown is also governed by a regulating plan that addresses how development interacts with the street and how the street is developed. The application of both the zoning district and the regulating plan (see Section

17.030 (Mixed Use District Definitions) for definition) are described in more detail in Sections 17.020.A (Defining the Mixed Use District) and 17.040 (Regulating Plan and Street Typologies and Standards). Generally, the zoning district designation (Mixed Use) defines the character and allowed use provisions for the subject site while the Regulating Plan defines the development standards (setbacks, building typology, street standards).

C. Applicability of Regulating Plan Standards. Generally, the development standards applicable to a property shall be those for the respective zone and street frontage as reflected in the regulating plan. However, for those properties that face onto multiple street frontages (e.g., a corner lot or a double frontage lot), the following shall apply:

1. The development standards applicable to the site shall be reflective of the individual sides of the lot.

For instance, if a corner lot faces Street A and Street B, then that side of the lot facing Street A shall be developed consistent with the standards for Street A and the side facing Street B shall be developed consistent with the standards for Street B.

2. At the corner, the design shall merge and unify the two standards together such that:
a. The more restrictive setback requirement shall prevail on that side of the corner.

For instance, if Street A has a five-foot build-to line and Street B has a zero-foot build-to line, then that side facing Street A shall be located at the five-foot build-to line and the side facing Street B shall be located at the zero-foot build-to line. (Note: In this example, the building is not centered on the corner; this is consistent with the intent of this provision.)
b. The more restrictive design standards shall prevail on that side of the corner, provided the two standards are architecturally integrated together.

For instance, if Street A allows for a Stoop frontage and Street B does not, a Stoop may be developed along the Street A frontage, but at the corner the design of the building must architecturally transition into a frontage type that is allowed along Street B. The same shall be true for allowed building types, Anderson, California, Code of Ordinances

storefront regulations, sign types, and landscaping. Only those features allowed on that frontage may be developed on said frontage.

2. In the case of allowed uses, the least restrictive use provisions shall apply to the entire lot, provided that the primary entrance for the use either faces the street with the least restrictive use regulations or (preferred) faces the intersection/street corner.

For instance, if a corner lot faces Street A and Street Band Street A allows a particular use by right and Street B requires a conditional use permit for the same use, then the use shall be allowed by right on that lot provided the primary entrance to the use is located facing Street A or (preferred) facing the intersection/at the corner.
(Ord. 757, § 2(Exh. A), 2009)

17.15.020 Introduction to the Mixed Use District.

A. Defining the Mixed Use District. The Mixed Use District is the regulating document for development within Downtown Anderson. The basis for this Code is in two unique zoning districts: the Mixed Use-Commercial Emphasis (MU-C) and the Mixed Use-Residential Emphasis (MU-R). The Mixed Use District recognizes the historic character of the Downtown and identifies a special set of development standards, allowed use regulations, and other special use regulations that apply to new construction and qualifying remodels/expansions.

The standards in this Chapter are presented in a format that is unique to the Downtown-through a form based code. Form based zoning provides a method of regulating development to achieve a desired urban form. Form based provisions address the relationship between building facades and the public realm, the form and mass of buildings, and the size, character, and type of streets and blocks. The central focus of form based provisions is the regulating plan that designates the appropriate form (and character) of development rather than only distinctions in land-use types, which is the basis of conventional zoning.

This Mixed Use District also includes regulations for the street-the space between buildings. Part of the historical context of the Downtown includes how individual developments relate and interact with the street. This is because the street acts as a unifying thread across all development.

B. Relationship to Other Zoning Provisions. Generally, the regulations of this chapter shall govern development within the Downtown. In cases where there is a conflict between the provisions of this chapter and the regulations elsewhere in the Zoning Code, this Chapter shall prevail. However, with regard to topics on which this Chapter is silent, provisions elsewhere in the Zoning Code shall prevail. (Ord. 757, § 2(Exh. A), 2009)

17.15.030 Mixed Use District definitions.

The following terms are used throughout the Mixed Use District and are defined as follows:

Alley. A narrow public drive serving commercial and residential development. (See Section 17.040.B.l.e. for further discussion.)

17.15.040 Regulating plan and street typologies and standards.

A. Establishment of the Regulating Plan and Street Hierarchy and Character. In addition to the application of the Mixed Use District, development within the Downtown is also governed by the regulating plan. The regulating plan "codes" development based upon the street it is located along. This plan is based on the following street hierarchy and character, and as illustrated on the regulating plan (see Figure 17-1, The Regulating Plan):

1. Main street (East Center Street, East Street, and Ventura Street)-A main street is a primary street of Downtown Anderson and provides a social setting for the community. It is pedestrian-oriented and focused on rehabilitation of existing buildings, as well as the development of new infill structures that are compatible with the uniquely small town character of the district. This area benefits from the presence of specialty retail businesses, restaurants, nightlife, and tourism-oriented services. Residential uses that are designed to add activity to the street scene are encouraged.

2. Service streets (Freeman Street and West Center Street)-The focus of service streets is to maximum [maximize] on-street parking and provide vehicular access to the backs of buildings and parking lots or to serve the automotive type uses found along West Center Street.

Created: 2025-91-98 17:30:02 (EST)
(Supp. No. 21)

133

3. Neighborhood streets (South Street, Howard Street, Ferry Street, Martha Street, and Oak Street)-The neighborhood streets of Downtown Anderson display a mix of local retail and residential development.

They have a more intimate nature than the other areas, as reflected in the narrower sidewalks and streets, and the abundance of street trees and landscaping. Neighborhood streets also provide the primary pedestrian routes between the residential and commercial portions of Downtown.

4. Avenues (North Street and Balls Ferry Road)-Avenues are more automobile-oriented than the other streets and replace arterial roadways as these significant roadways pass through Downtown. As such, avenues are an ideal location for regional commercial and family entertainment.

8. Street Typologies and Standards. The purpose of this Section is to provide roadway standards that will facilitate the creation of streets that are inviting, multimodal public places for vehicular traffic, bicyclists, and pedestrians.

1. Street Typologies.

Created: 2825 •81 -88 17:311:93 (£ST]
(Supp. No. 21)

134
a. Avenue. Avenues connect districts or regions and are capable of carrying a large amount of vehicular traffic while still maintaining a higher quality pedestrian environment and retail~ supporting urban edge. This street typology replaces an Arterial in Downtown.

The landscaping strip along the sides of the roadway should be designed to facilitate the safe passage of pedestrians. It is suggested that the strip include a continuous landscaped area between the edge of the curb and the sidewalk. This area should include street trees and lighting designed at a pedestrian scale. Landscape strips should be a minimum of five feet wide. Where a continuous landscape strip is not possible, street trees should be provided within tree wells or at intersections within curb "bulbouts." Wherever an avenue intersects with a main street or a neighborhood street, the intersection should be designed to enhance pedestrian safety and convenience. Features may include pedestrian bulb-outs, differentiated accent paving within the intersection, in-street crossing lights (if there is no crosswalk signal), and pedestrian refuge areas within the medians of avenues. b. Main Street[s]. Street trees should frequently interrupt the parking lanes to soften visual impact of the parked vehicles and to help cool the air heated by the pavement.

Diagonal parking and wide sidewalks should create a safe, inviting environment for both pedestrians and motorists.

Wherever a main street intersects with an avenue or a neighborhood street, the intersection should be designed to provide pedestrians with safe passage. Features may include pedestrian bulb-outs, differentiated accent paving within the intersection, and in-street crossing lights (if there is no crosswalk signal).

Turning movements typically occur from within the main travel lanes: however, short (one- to two-car length) turn pockets may be provided at some intersections in lieu of parking on one side of the street. c. Neighborhood Streets. Neighborhood streets are home to the majority of residential development in Downtown Anderson as well as a few small neighborhood-serving retail stores.

These streets have a more intimate nature than the other areas, and because of this landscaping and larger street trees should frequently interrupt the parking lanes to soften visual impact of the parked vehicles and to help cool the air heated by the pavement. A continuous landscape strip is not required.
d. Service Streets. The focus of service streets is to maximize on-street parking and provide vehicular access to the backs of buildings and parking lots or to serve the automotive type uses.

Customer entrances may be located off alleys, but the primary entrance should face a main street, neighborhood street, or avenue if a lot has two frontages. e. Alley. Alleys are narrow public drives serving commercial and residential development. In commercial developments, alleys provide the primary service access and loading areas for businesses.

Customer entrances may also be located off of alleys. In addition, if it does not obstruct the flow of vehicular and pedestrian traffic, portions of the alley may be used for outdoor retail space, patios, art gardens, and related uses. In residential development, parking should be accessed via alleys.

Alley street lighting and landscaping should be designed at a pedestrian scale with an emphasis on creating a safe and secure environment. Additionally, landscaping shall not impede automobile or pedestrian visibility within or immediately adjacent to an alley. f. Paseo. Paseos are local and private pathways serving pedestrians and bicyclists only, and they may also provide limited service access during specified periods of the day. In addition, if it does Creat ed: 2925-81-88 17: 38:03 [EST I
(Supp. No. 21)

135
not obstruct the flow of pedestrian traffic, portions of the paseo may also be used for outdoor dining, retail space, patios, art gardens, and related uses.

These types of "streets" are not necessarily shown on the Regulating Plan but would be appropriate to include in the district as part of a unified development plan to connect uses and activities in a pedestrian orientation without additional public right-of-ways.

Paseo street lighting and landscaping should be designed at a pedestrian scale. Larger canopy trees should be used where possible for shade.

17.15.050 Allowed use regulations.

The purpose of this section is to list allowed uses according to districts and Downtown zones within the districts. This list is not meant to be exhaustive and does not regulate building character or design, but instead delineates the types of uses allowed within a building. These allowed use regulations are unique to Chapter 17 and are intended to implement the vision of the Anderson General Plan.

Areas within the Downtown area that are zoned C-1 are subject to the applicable regulations in the Zoning Code related to that zoning district. Buildings constructed within Downtown are encouraged to comply with building placement and design standards set forth for the Mixed Use District.

A. Permitted Uses. The following table {Table 17-2) identifies the permitted uses within the Downtown.

These allowed use regulations are listed by street type, then by District, as applicable. The uses listed are defined in Section 17.050.B (Definitions of Permitted Uses).

8. Definitions of Permitted Uses.

1. Attached Single-Family Residential. A building designed exclusively for occupancy by one family on a single lot that has zero side yard setbacks and shares a party wall with the adjacent building(s) (e.g., townhouse).

2. Commercial Recreation and Entertainment. Establishments providing indoor or outdoor recreation and entertainment services including bars, movie theaters, dance halls, electronic game arcades, bowling alleys, billiard parlors, ice/rolling skating rinks, health clubs.

3. Detached Single-Family Residential. A building designed exclusively for occupancy by one family on a single lot. This classification includes manufactured homes (defined in California Health and Safety Code Section 18007).

4. Institutional/Governmental. This use includes churches and related facilities, government agency and service facilities (e.g., post office, civic center, police department, fire department), as well as public educational facilities and publicly owned parkland.

5. Home Occupation. The conduct of a business within a dwelling unit or residential site, employing occupants of the dwelling, with the business activity being subordinate to the residential use of the property. Home occupations are typically home office use with a limited number of customers coming to the site. Examples include, but are not limited to, accountants and financial advisors, architects, artists, attorneys, and real estate sales.

6. Live/Work Unit. An integrated housing unit and working space, occupied and utilized by a single household in a structure, either single-family or multi-family, that has been designed or structurally modified to accommodate joint residential occupancy and work activity, and which includes:
a. Complete kitchen space and sanitary facilities in compliance with the City building code; and
b. Working space reserved for and regularly used by one or more occupants of the unit. c. The difference between live/work and work/live units is that the "work" component of a live/work unit is secondary to its residential use and may include only commercial activities and pursuits that are compatible with the character of a quiet residential environment, while the work component of a work/live unit is the primary use to which the residential component is secondary.

7. Mixed-Use. Characterized by commercial retail use on the ground floor and office, hotel, or residential uses on the upper floors.

8. Multi-Family Residential. A building designed and intended for occupancy by two or more families living independent of each other, each in a separate dwelling unit, which may be owned individually or by a single landlord (e.g., duplex, triplex, quadplex, apartment, apartment house, condominium).
