REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Meeting of: March ÚÎ , 2023
AGENDA SECTION: Consent
SUBJECT: Conduct a Second Reading of an Ordinance Amending Title 17.40 and Adopting Title 17.42 of the City of Chowchilla Municipal Code PREPARED BY: Mark Hamilton, Community and Economic Development Director ATTACHMENTS: Current Ordinance and Proposed Ordinance – Redlined, Ordinance
REVIEWED BY
ADMINISTRATOR ☒ REVIEWED BYATTORNEY ☒ REVIEWED BY FINANCE ☒ RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council conduct a second reading of an ordinance amending Title 17.40 and adopting Title 17.42 of the Chowchilla Municipal Code.
BACKGROUND:
Development Impact Fee Structure and Quimby Act
The current Quimby Act, Storm Drainage, and Development Impact Fee structures were implemented nearly 18 years ago, in 2004, by consultant Giersch & Associates. Staff was tasked with reviewing the Development Impact Fees and present any necessary adjustments to the City’s Development Fees basis and program for consideration. The City hired NBS who completed an updated Development Impact Fee study in May of 2022. (“2022 Study”.)
Since the inception of the previous Development Impact Fee program, the City created nine separate impact fee zones with impact fees varying from zone to zone. The impact fees are very similar in several zones with minor adjustments to certain categories. Additionally, the City currently charges the same impact fees per unit for development in the single-family and multi-family residential categories, which essentially gives no incentive to builders to construct multi-family units within the community. The City’s Municipal Code Section 17.76.010 describes Council’s authority to create and establish a separate development impact fee for the City and outlines the process for staff to follow when either creating, establishing, or updating the City’s Development Impact Fee Structure.
In addition, State law requires local agencies to conduct a Development Impact Fee study which: (1) identifies the purpose of the fee; (2) identifies the use to which the fee is to be put; (3) determines that there is a reasonable relationship between the fee’s use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed; and (4) determines that there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facilities to be funded by the fee and they type of development projects on which the fee is imposed. (Gov. Code, § 66001, subd. (a).)
Part of the 2022 Study was to review the City’s Park Master Plan and subsequently the City current Quimby Act Ordinance CMC 17.40.010. The existing Park Master Plan contains a statement that in-lieu fees “should be based on a formula that considers both land acquisition and construction costs.” That statement is inconsistent with the intent of an in-lieu fee. A fee in lieu of park land dedication should be based on the value of the land that would otherwise be dedicated. Such a fee should not include construction costs. In the 2022 Study, park improvement costs are covered by a separate impact fee.
The City’s existing Quimby Act ordinance bases dedication and in-lieu fee acreage requirements on the density (units per acre) of a development project. The Quimby Act requires dedications and in-lieu fees to be based upon population. There is no way to compare the effect of that density formula with the acresper-1,000 population standards contained in the Quimby Act.
Incentive Program
The incentive program is intended to provide a temporary reduction to assist with spurring residential development within the City of Chowchilla. The City of Chowchilla itself has been challenged trying to stimulate the construction of new residential units within the community. Over the past couple years, new residential growth was due to either a reduction of development impact fees, or a standing agreement between a developer and school district.
Even though the total development fees collected will likely be reduced, many of the residential projects that have remained idle for the past decade will receive a financial motivation to move forward. Some of the projects that were not able to take advantage of the previous infill program, will be able to take advantage of this program. These developments include Sessions Development, Woodcrest Development, Legacy Ranch, Montgomery Farms, and possibly 224 units within Rancho Calera.
Project Anticipated # Units
John Sessions Development 200 Units
Woodcrest Development 176 Units
Legacy Ranch 605 Units
Rancho Calera 224 Units
Total 1,205 Units
A temporary reduction of impact fees for period of time has the potent to result in new revenues to assist with replacing the City’s aging infrastructures and revenues to assist with funding for city services. Over the duration of time the infill program was available (April 2016 to June 30, 2021), 90% of the properties eligible have seen new units constructed. The Infill program was a 100% reduction of development impact fees. This program supported new construction within existing neighborhoods in the community.
Additionally, Century Communities built over 125 new Single-Family Dwellings within the community, as part of the soon to expire residential incentive program available (July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023), Temporarily reducing the residential and industrial development impact fees will help the City to remain competitive in the region and attract new industrial developers into the community. For a community like Chowchilla, a new larger industrial development not only creates jobs, but also creates a ripple effect by creating a demand for new residential homes to be constructed and disposable income from the new employees.
Industrial jobs generally pay higher than average wages and therefore contribute more to growing the local economy. The taxable value of industrial projects is also higher than most other construction, and, therefore, contribute higher levels of property tax back to the City. The primary purpose for offering incentives to industry is to be competitive with other cities and counties located within our region. For example, AutoZone took advantage of the recently expired Job Incentive Program and has started construction of a 560,000 square foot. facility valued at over $150 million in the community. In the case of AutoZone, staff reduced the development impact fees by approximately 50% to reflect the number of jobs the project will create.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Effective January 1, 2022, municipalities are required to update their Development Impact Fee studies every 8 years. (Gov. Code, § 66016.5.). Prior to May 2022, the City hadn’t completed a comprehensive review of its Development Impact Fee Structure since 2004. The recently completed fee study demonstrates there is a funding need due to the impacts being created by the proposed developments.
If the capacity of facilities is not increased to satisfy the additional demand, the quality or availability of public services for the entire community will deteriorate. The various fee structure updates proposed will be used to recover a percentage of the cost of development-related facilities. However, the fees are only able to cover the need related to the future developments.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the impacts of future developments they may have on existing public facilities. The study presents the data and methodology used to calculate impact fees and park land dedication requirements. The methods used to calculate impact and in-lieu fees in this report are intended to satisfy all legal requirements governing such fees, including provisions of the U. S.
Constitution, the California Constitution, the California Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code Sections 66000-66025), and, where applicable, the Quimby Act (Government Code Section 66477).
Historically, the City increased the Impact fees based annually or semi-annually per the CPI index. The increases were presented for council consideration during the annual budget process (CMC – 17.76.100 - Annual findings). Additionally, the account balances were presented as part of the AB1600 report. The impact fees are based on capital costs for facilities and other capital assets needed to mitigate the impacts of additional development. Impact fees may not be used for maintenance or operating costs.
Summary of Proposed Citywide Impact Fees (without Incentive) Summary of Existing Impact Fees
Difference Between Existing and Proposed Citywide Impact Fees Proposed Storm Drainage Improvement Cost Per Acre:
The proposed Storm Drainage Improvement Cost were originally calculated in 2004 by Giersch & Associates as part of a storm drainage master plan. The proposed improvement costs were based upon the original fees presented in the 2004 study, the proposed costs were increased to 2022 levels using the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index (CCI).

50% Reduction (July 1, 2023 - June 30, 2025) $8,518 $5,794 $2,076.50 FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no impact to the City’s General Fund. The revenues received would be held in reserve accounts until such time needed to fund the eligible activity.
ALTERNATIVES:
To leave the Development Impact Fee and Storm Drain Fee Structures ‘as-is’ with no modifications; and, not consider the Quimby Act Ordinance which would not allow staff to properly implement within the community. This is not recommended as the current development impact fees are based upon an outdated fee study and the existing Quimby Act Ordinance does not comply with State law. And to reject the proposed Residential and Industrial Incentive program and keep the fees as originally presented to Council for consideration.

SECTION 2. Adopt Title 17.42 as follows:
Chapter 17.42 - PARK LAND DEDICATION AND IN-LIEU FEES
Sections:
17.42.010 - Park Land Dedication and In-Lieu Fees
17.42.020 - Definitions
17.42.030 - Formulas for Determining Park Land Dedication Requirement and In-Lieu Fees.
17.42.040 - Determination of Dedication, In-Lieu Fee or Combination

17.42.080 - Disposition of Dedicated Land and In-Lieu Fee
17.42.090 - Exemptions
17.42.010 - Park Land Dedication and In-Lieu Fees.
A. Authority. This section is enacted pursuant to the authority granted by California Government Code Section 66477 (the Quimby Act) and shall be interpreted consistent with the provisions thereof.
B. Dedication of Land or Payment of In-lieu Fees Required. As a condition of approval of a final map, parcel map or parcel map waiver certificate, the sub-divider shall dedicate land, pay a fee in lieu of dedication or a combination of both for park or recreational purposes at the time and according to the standards and formulas set forth in this section. This condition shall apply only to land subdivided for residential development.
C. General Standard. A general standard of three (3) acres per 1,000 persons expected to reside within a subdivision shall be used to determine the amount of land to dedicated by a sub-divider for park or recreational purposes, or the in-lieu fees to be paid by the sub-divider pursuant to this chapter.
17.42.020 - Definitions
A. “Park” means a parcel or contiguous parcels of land owned, operated or maintained by the city which provides land and facilities for active or passive recreational use by the city’s residents and visitors. Within the meaning of this chapter, parks include community and neighborhood parks providing landscaped open space, playgrounds, picnic areas, sports fields or courts, walkways, restrooms and/or other recreational amenities.
B. “Recreation facility” means a community center, recreation center, cultural center, gymnasium, swimming pool or aquatic center, athletic facility or other facility intended for recreation or enrichment activities, which may or may not be located within a park.
17.42.030 - Formulas for Determining Park Land Dedication Requirement and In-Lieu Fees.
A. Formula for Determining Park Land Dedication Requirement. The maximum area of land that may be required to be dedicated by a sub-divider for park or recreational purposes shall be determined using the following formula:
1. Acres to be dedicated = [number of residential lots or units] X [population per unit] X [0.003].
B. Where the number of lots or dwelling units is as shown on the final subdivision map or parcel map and the population per unit is as follows:
1. Population per unit for single-family lot subdivisions = 3.2.
2. Population per unit for attached unit subdivisions = 2.4. a. Example: the area to be dedicated for 100-lot single-family subdivision = 100 X
3.2 X 0.003 = 0.96 acres.
b. Example: the area to be dedicated for 25-lot attached unit subdivision = 25 X
2.4 X 0.003 = 0.18 acres.
C. Formula for Calculating Fee in Lieu of Land Dedication.
1. The amount of the in-lieu fee to be paid by a sub-divider to satisfy the requirements of this chapter shall be determined using the following formula:
a. In-lieu fee = [required acres] X [fair market value per acre].
2. In the formula above, required acres means the number of acres to be dedicated as determined using the formula in Section A. When the city requires the sub-divider to satisfy the requirements of this Chapter through a combination of land dedication and payment of in-lieu fees, the required acres in the in-lieu fee formula shall be reduced by the number of acres to be dedicated by the sub-divider.
3. The fair market value per acre to be used in calculating the in-lieu fee shall be based on the fair market value of the land to be subdivided as determined by a current appraisal of the property. The appraisal shall be made at the sub-divider's expense, payable to the city in advance, by a person on the city's list of approved appraisers, who will be qualified as a certified general real estate appraiser by the California Office of Real Estate Appraisers and shall meet the standards specified in the uniform standards of professional appraisal practice. The appraiser shall appraise the property at its unencumbered (free and clear) value, as if at the approved tentative map stage of development and as if any assessments or other encumbrances to which the property is subject had been paid off in full prior to the date of appraisal. Factors to be considered during the evaluation shall include the following:
a. The general plan.
b. Zoning and density.
c. Property location.
d. Off-site improvements facilitating use of the property. e. Site characteristics of the property.
f. Existing public improvements.
4. The appraisal shall value the property as of a date no earlier than ninety days prior to the recording of the final map, or payment of the fee, whichever occurs later. The appraisal shall clearly state the fair market value of the entire property to be subdivided.
The in-lieu fee calculation shall be based on the average fair market value per acre of that property.

If the sub-divider provides park and recreational improvements to land dedicated pursuant to this chapter, the value of the improvements together with any equipment located thereon shall be credited against the payment of fees or dedication of land required by this chapter, provided that the improvements and equipment have been made or installed with the prior approval of the city.
B. The amount of the credit for privately provided park and recreational improvements shall not exceed the documented actual cost of the improvements and equipment provided by the subdivider.

Where private open space suitable for active recreational uses is provided within a common interest development subject to the requirements of this chapter, the sub-divider shall be eligible to receive a credit, as determined by the city council, against the amount of land required to be dedicated or the in-lieu fees to be paid pursuant to this chapter.
B. The amount of open space that qualifies for a credit shall be not more than one-third of the total acres of park land required to be dedicated by this chapter.
C. The following areas or subdivision design features shall not be eligible for private open space credit: required setbacks, yards, courts, subdivision entries, walking, cycling or equestrian trails, greenbelts, streams or ponds.
D. Any credit provided for private open space within a common interest development requires that the following standards are met:
1. That the private ownership and maintenance of the open space is adequately provided for by recorded written agreement, conveyance, or restrictions; and,
2. That the use of the private open space is restricted for park and recreational purposes by recorded covenant, which runs with the land in favor of the future owners of the property and which cannot be defeated or eliminated without the consent of the city or its successor; and,

17.42.070 - Time of Dedication or Payment of In-Lieu Fees At the time of approval of the tentative subdivision map, the council shall determine the amount of land to be dedicated and/or fees to be paid by the sub-divider. In conjunction with the filing of the final subdivision map, the sub-divider shall dedicate the land or pay the fees as previously determined by the city council. Open space covenants for private park or recreational facilities shall be submitted to the city prior to approval of the final subdivision map and shall be recorded contemporaneously with the final subdivision map.
17.42.080 - Disposition of Dedicated Land and In-Lieu Fee A. Any land dedicated, or in-lieu fees paid, pursuant to this chapter shall be used only for the purpose of developing new or rehabilitating existing neighborhood or community park or recreational facilities bearing a reasonable relationship to the use of park and recreational facilities by the future inhabitants of the subdivision for which the land is dedicated and/or in-lieu fees are paid.
B. The city shall develop a schedule specifying how, when and where it will use the land or fees, or both to develop park or recreational facilities to serve the residents of the subdivision for which the land is dedicated and/or in-lieu fees are paid. Any fees collected pursuant to this chapter shall be committed within five years after the payment of the fees or the issuance of building permits on half of the lots created by the subdivision, whichever occurs later. If the fees are not committed, they, without any deductions, shall be distributed and paid to the then record owners of the subdivision in the same proportion that the size of their lot bears to the total area of all lots within the subdivision.
17.42.090 - Exemptions
A. The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to commercial or industrial subdivisions or to condominium projects which consist of the subdivision of airspace in an existing apartment building which is more than five years old when no new dwelling units are added.
B. Subdivisions containing fewer than five parcels and not used for residential purposes shall be exempted from the requirements of this chapter. However, in such cases, the city may place a condition on the approval of the parcel map such that if a building permit is requested for construction of a residential structure on one or more of the parcels within four years following approval of the map, a pro rata in-lieu fee may be required to be paid by the owner of each parcel as a condition of issuance of the permit.

SUBJECT: Consideration and Adoption of a City Council Resolution Approving a Subrecipient Agreement with Self Help Enterprises to Implement the City’s CalHOME Program, and a Reuse Account and Loan Servicing Monitoring Agreement with the California Department of Housing and Community Development, Authorizing the City Administrator to Execute both Agreements
PREPARED BY: Mark Hamilton, Community & Economic Development Director Janae Lacey, Community & Economic Development Specialist ATTACHMENTS: Resolution
Reuse Account and Loan Servicing Monitoring Agreement
Subrecipient Agreement 20-CalHome-16121
REVIEWED BY
ADMINISTRATOR ☒ REVIEWED BYATTORNEY ☒ REVIEWED BY FINANCE ☒ RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt the resolution approving a Subrecipient Agreement with Self-Help Enterprises to implement the City’s CalHOME Program, and a Monitoring Agreement with the California Department of Housing and Community Development, authorizing the City Administrator to execute both agreements.
BACKGROUND:
The City was awarded the CalHOME Grant from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The CalHOME grant was awarded to the City through a competitive application process based upon Self-Help Enterprises (Self-Help) capacity. Due to the City partnering with Self-Help to implement the program within the City, HCD requires the local jurisdiction to execute a Subrecipient Agreement and a Reuse Account and Loan Servicing Monitoring Agreement with HCD prior to being able to expend grants funds.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Per HCD’s CalHOME program guidelines, the Subrecipient Agreement and Reuse Account and Loan Servicing Agreement are required to be approved by the participating jurisdiction. The Subrecipient Agreement is required by HCD because the City has partnered with Self-Help to implement and administer the program. The Reuse Account and Loan Servicing Agreement is required by HCD to be executed by the participating jurisdiction to ensure the recipient(s) obligations remain in effect not only for the term of the grant, but also as the City receives funds in the reuse account. The term of the Subrecipient Agreement is 5 years; the term of the Reuse Account and Loan Servicing Monitoring Agreement is 20 years.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None. Funds will come out of the grant or program income received.
ALTERNATIVES:
Program will not move forward and grant award reverts back to HCD.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:
City executes HCD and SHE agreement and partners with Self-Help to provide service to the community.

D. The purpose of this Agreement is to set forth Recipient’s obligations with respect to long-term loan servicing and the administration of the local reuse account.

NOW THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Recipient’s execution of this Agreement is given in further consideration for receipt of the Commitment.
2. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Date of the Standard Agreement, and remain in full force and effect for a period of twenty (20) years unless terminated earlier by the Department.

8. Recipient agrees and acknowledges that failure to cure a violation to the satisfaction of the Department within the time allotted shall constitute grounds for denial of eligibility for future CalHome funding. Lack of organizational capacity shall constitute grounds under any other program administered by the Department for making a determination that the Recipient lacks the capacity to administer the program funds being applied for.
9. In the event that the breach or violation involves charges to individual homebuyers in excess of those permitted under the Standard Agreement or Regulations, the Department may demand, and seek as an additional remedy, the return of such excess charges to the affected households.
10. The remedies of the Department hereunder are cumulative, and the exercise of one or more of such remedies shall not be deemed an election of remedies and shall not preclude the exercise by the Department of any one or more of its other remedies.

Measure 1.a: The City will
complete the five-year land
use update as part of its
General Plan update.
Adequate sites will be
identified and annexed as
needed to provide a
minimum of 150 percent of
the necessary land
inventory to meet the needs
of the very low and lowincome groups.
Provide adequate sites at suitable
locations throughout the community to
accommodate a range of housing
responsive to the needs of all income
groups 2017 and 2022
After conducting an analysis, it was determined that the City has more than 150% of available land within the City limits. Therefore, this Action/Implementation Measure is not needed and will not be carried over into the revised Housing Element.

Housing Element Implementation
Action/Implementation
Measure 1.b: Prior to its
expiration, the City will
review the Zoning
Ordinance that waives
impact fees for all infill,
mixed use, and any
development, including
high density development,
of other vacant lands with
existing infrastructure when
the
builder secures at least 30
percent of its good and
services from within the
City. In order to
qualify, the developer must
apply within the designated
period as set forth by
resolution. If
warranted, this ordinance
will be extended.
Provide adequate sites at suitable
locations throughout the community to
accommodate a range of housing
responsive to the needs of all income
groups 2016
The City developed an infill incentive program in 2016 that eliminates building fees for infill residential projects and has seen some success with the program. The only constraint was that applicants had a difficult time meeting the 30 percent threshold so that it was reduced to 20 percent (Resolution 80-18) to attract more interest. This program will be extended once it reaches its sunset date of 6/31/2021, therefore this Action/Implementation Measure will be carried over into the revised Housing Element.
Action/Implementation
Measure 1.c: The City will
prepare an inventory of
government owned land
within the City and its
Sphere of Influence and will
analyze that land for
possible housing sites. If
appropriate sites can be
identified, the City will
actively recruit developers
and apply to funding
agencies to facilitate
development of the sites
with housing for assisted
living and housing for
seniors, veterans, the
homeless, farmworkers, and
affordable housing for
families. Assisted living
refers to housing for
individuals who require
assistance with everyday
activities such as meals,
medication management or
assistance, bathing, dressing
and transportation.
Provide adequate sites at suitable
locations throughout the community to
accommodate a range of housing
responsive to the needs of all income
groups 2017 and 2020
This Action/Implementation Measure was completed and is discussed in Section 3 of this Housing Element Update. There were 95 sites identified. The City recently held a developer/builders discussed. Please see Section 3 for more information.
This Action/Implementation Measure is on-going and will be carried over into the revised Housing Element.
Action/Implementation
Measure 1.d: The City will
apply for additional CDBG
and HOME funds to acquire
and/or extend necessary
services (water and sewer
hookups) to in-fill parcels
for housing development,
with the goal of $120,000
for extension of services
Provide adequate sites at suitable
locations throughout the community to
accommodate a range of housing
responsive to the needs of all income
groups Annual
The City applied for CDBG and HOME funds in 2017 and was awarded them in early 2018. The City has recently contracted with Self Help Enterprises to assist the City with funding implementation. This Action/Implementation Measure is on-going and will be carried over into the revised Housing Element.
NEW:
Action/Implementation
Measure 1.e: The City will
revise the Zoning Ordinance
to permit emergency
shelters within the C-3
commercial zone as a byright use, without the need
for a public hearing. The City
has determined that there is
sufficient vacant land, and
potential for use in existing
structures in this zone.
Parcels zoned C-3 are
located on the western end
of Robertson Avenue, and
immediately west of
Highway 99 in the more
established portion of the
city, and also east of
Highway 99. All areas have
available services and
infrastructure.

Action/Implementation
Measure 1.f: When land is
rezoned or annexed for
agricultural use, agricultural
housing will be a permitted
use. The City will revise the
Zoning Ordinance to
conform to the Employee
Housing Act. The Health and
Safety Code Sections
17021.5 and 17021.6 apply
to employee housing that
qualifies, or intends to
qualify, for a permit to
operate under the
Employee Housing Act. This
generally requires employee
housing for six or fewer
persons in a single family
zone and 12 units or 36
beds to be permitted
without a CUP in multifamily zoning districts.

Multi-family dwellings of five or greater units are allowed by right in the M-MH and R-H zones.
Therefore, this Action/Implementation Measure will be revised and carried over into the revised Housing Element.
