PUBLIC COMMENT
Ci
ty Clerk Van read a comment from Alfred Sanchez, “I would like the city to come up with guidelines of our own regarding opening cooling center(s). I understand the city post this on the website but its like the day before sometimes. Can the council please take a vote to add this to future agenda and take necessary steps to do this. Its confusing now.”
City C
lerk Van read a comment from K.E. DeMarco, “I would like to request a consideration of a sound wall installation on Antelope Road between Sunrise – Mariposa to Auburn boulevard. Also, painting reflecting the “bike and pedestrian” areas more clearly. This is a very fast moving, dangerous stretch of road for anyone and making an appropriate bike/pedestrian path as well as sound wall/beautification of same area would be multifaceted improvement of the area. Cleaning trimming overhang is also overdue. (the new LED lights, no turn on red and yellow trim on the signals really doesn’t do much but annoy the long time residents at corner of Mariposa/Antelope.) Fix the pedestrian/bike walkways on dangerous curves next please!”.

Principal Civil Engineer Young presented the item to Council. The item is to amend the Citrus Heights Municipal Code in order to establish an underground utility district. An underground utility district is a geographic area in which overhead utility lines are installed underground and utility poles are removed.

Currently Chapter 98 of the Municipal Code does not address the topic of underground utility districts.

Young stated that with the Auburn Blvd. complete streets project phase 2 under way, this item would allow Council to establish an underground utility district along the Auburn Blvd. corridor. As the project progresses any improvements will include undergrounding new utilities. Amending the municipal code as proposed does not have a financial impact. Based on future Council action, the formation of an actual underground utility district would require project funding.

Council comments and discussion followed.

STAFF: R. Cave/ L. Blomquist
RECOMMENDATION: Receive staff presentation and provide direction

General Services Director Cave presented the informational item to Council. At the May 10 Strategic Planning Session, the Council set a goal to present a maintenance and enhancement strategy to identify centerline miles of roadways in need of restriping and other minor roadway repairs. Cave stated the City has approximately 105.7 centerline miles and 200 miles of striped lanes. Additionally, the City has 67 signalized intersections with crosswalks and 850 stop signs. The inventory strategy would utilize available imagery collected from the Pavement Management System update to generate citywide inventory. From that information, staff would prioritize locations from inspection data, irrespective of overall pavement condition. General Services will coordinate with an outside consultant to produce inventory data and establish a report of priority locations, applications, and generate costs estimates. Following the completion of this report, staff will report to Council during budget preparation to recommend a plan and potential funding sources to increase the output of a striping maintenance program.

Council comments and discussion followed.

This Agreement was based on estimated costs related to public improvements conditioned as part of the overall Stock Ranch development, as well as achieving milestones of issued building permits.

Staff recommends City Council adopt Resolution No. 2022-____ A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Amendment No. 2 to the Stock Ranch Reimbursement Agreement, and Authorizing the Release of an Adjusted Reimbursement of $154,565.44 to California C&S Properties.

For more than ten years, the City has reserved the balance of $184,666 in Roadway Impact Fee Funds representing final payment in anticipation of releasing these fund once all terms of the Agreement had been met. This action results in no fiscal impact to the General Fund. To date and through final development of the Stock Ranch Commercial Center, the Applicant remains conditioned to remit Roadway Impact Fees (now known as Multi-Modal Fees) as part of all fees collected through the City’s building permit process.

to exceed $554,000 for reimbursement of public improvements associated with the overall Stock Ranch development. The agreement conditioned the Applicant to construct all public improvements identified in the Stock Ranch Development Agreement, including a signalized intersection at Auburn Boulevard and San Tomas, improvements on Van Maren Lane, a pedestrian bridge over Arcade Creek through the Stock Ranch open space, and landscape and median improvements, all included in the original Stock Ranch Development Agreement and the Stock Ranch Plaza Site Plan. Subsequent to execution of the original reimbursement agreement, a First Amendment (Attachment 2) was authorized by Council, which permitted the City to take the lead on improvements to the Auburn Boulevard and Van Maren intersection, designing and constructing the left turn lane conditioned in the Stock Ranch Plaza Site Plan (Plan). This Plan also approved a total site build out of 409,387 square feet of enclosed commercial space.

The terms of the Agreement stipulates various milestones connected to issuance of building permits, ranging from the initial “big box” retailers, to final permit issuance achieving 375,000 square feet of total enclosed commercial space (out of the 409,387 square feet approved for the site). To date, a total of 305,040 square feet of enclosed space has been constructed, which encompasses the two big box retailers, Applebee’s, and the retail strip (Lot 11). In 2017, the Applicant requested a Design Review Permit Modification to Amend the Conceptual Master Site Plan in an effort to improve circulation within the shopping center. In order to accommodate the recommended onsite modifications, the total allowable square footage of buildings was amended from 409,387 square feet to 398,741 square feet, thereby also reducing the required 375,000 square feet to 364,354 square feet.

The Applicant continues to actively pursue opportunities to attract new long-term tenants in an effort to achieve full buildout of the commercial site. However, this continues to be challenging as the demands for new business and retail space have remained static in recent years.

Therefore, the Applicant has proposed the following for Council’s consideration as an Amendment to the Agreement:

1) Modify Reimbursement No. 3 by assigning a pro-rata value based on the total square footage of enclosed space constructed to date, which is at 305,040 square feet. The proposed modification to Reimbursement No. 3 would reduce the payment from $184,666 to $154,565.44, leaving a remaining balance of $30,100.56; and

2) Add Reimbursement No. 4 to the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement to incorporate the remaining balance of $30,100.56. This final reimbursement (No. 4) would be due to the Applicant upon achieving stipulations previously assigned to Reimbursement No. 3, which are cumulative issued building permits totaling 365,354 square feet. The following tables outline payments made to the Applicant to date, adjustments in approved square footage, and calculations used to factor the proposed revised remaining reimbursements:

Re: Stock Ranch - Request for Reimbursement
Dear Ashley,
We are writing to request reimbursement of 5154,565.44 pursuant to the Stock Ranch Agreement for Reimbursement of Costs (2003) and First Amendment to the Agreement for Reimbursement of Costs (2008) between the City of Citrus Heights (City) and California C&S Properties (C&S) for improvements related to the Auburn commercial Dlstrict Area (Auburn Commercial) at Stock Ranch.
ln 2017, the Auburn Commercial project was modlfied, and the maximum buildout reduced by 10,546 sf, from 409,387 to 398,741 sf. The project's square footage reduction thereby reduced the trigger for Reimbursement #3 by the same amount (10,545 s0 from 375,OOO to 364,354 sf. Thetotal enclosed square footage of the Auburn Commercial area constructed is 305,040 sf, which is 76.5% of the maximum square footage (3O5,UO/3U,354). Therefore, we request reimbursement of 5154,565, which is 76.5% of Reimbursement #3.

Please let me know if you have questions regarding our request.

BJECT: Proposed Sunrise MarketPlace Zoning Overlay
Summary and Recommendation
On September 28, 2022 the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Sunrise MarketPlace Overlay Zoning Code Amendment. The amendment would establish a Zoning overlay within the Sunrise MarketPlace prohibiting certain uses. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended the City Council adopt the proposed Zoning Code Amendment.

St
aff recommends the City Council introduce for first reading, read by title only and waive the full reading of Ordinance No. 2022- _____, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights adding Section 106.28.050 to Chapter 106 of the City of Citrus Heights Municipal Code (Zoning Code Section) and amending the Zoning Map to include the Sunrise MarketPlace Overlay District.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact related to this action.

Background and Analysis
In 2019, the City Council adopted an amended General Plan goals and policies related to the Sunrise MarketPlace (SMP). The intent of the change was to reflect the importance of the SMP and the role SMP will play in the City’s broader vision and economic development goals. This effort was spurred by the increased interest from property owners wanting to parcel off and sell portions of Sunrise Mall frontage or enter into long term leases with businesses/owners who didn’t have a comprehensive development plan which supported the City’s vision.

The
City recognized that without proper planning and design, these developments can be detrimental to the future redevelopment of the mall, and more broadly, the future of the Sunrise MarketPlace. Also with the City being 98-percent built out, the ability to ensure high quality redevelopment of underutilized land is paramount for future redevelopment and economic development in the City. As a result, the City Council adopted Goal 12 for the General Plan.

Item 9
Agenda Packet Page 52
Subject: Sunrise MarketPlace Zoning Overlay
Date: October 27, 2022

Page 2 of 11 ends

Printed on Recycled Paper
Goal 12: Create an inviting and distinctive identity for Sunrise MarketPlace to promote its image as the City’s premier destination to shop, work, live and play.

Shortly after the adoption of the General Plan policy, the City initiated the Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan (STSP or Plan). The STSP supported a community-based vision for the future of the 100-acre Sunrise Mall and supported a comprehensive and holistic approach to planning the future of the mall property. The Specific Plan was adopted in November 2021.

The Plan’s vision includes new redevelopment framework and allows for a mix of uses not found elsewhere in the City. The Plan prescribes a diverse mix of retail, restaurants, and other uses distributed appropriately and strategically throughout the Plan Area to create a mixed-use destination and restricts uses not compatible with the Plan’s vision. The STSP is anticipated to spur significant growth on the Sunrise Mall site and the nearby commercial properties within the boundary of the Sunrise MarketPlace.

This approach of comprehensive planning and protection of key locations for Economic Development has already yielded results as the City recently received an application for a Parcel Map within the STSP as an early step for the development of the first hotel in Citrus Heights.

Since the STSP was adopted, the City has received an increasing number of inquiries for new uses within the SMP which do not support the area’s mixed-use destination vision and are incompatible with the anticipated growth within SMP. Currently, the commercial zones within the SMP allow for a variety of auto-intense uses such as service stations (gas stations), car washes, vehicle repair, and mini-storage facilities with a Use Permit approved by the Planning Commission. These uses have the potential to limit the growth anticipated by the STSP through their introduction of traffic, noise, air quality, and similar impacts that are incompatible with uses encouraged by the STSP and the overall economic strategies for the SMP.

Historically, auto-intensive uses have not been a dominant feature of the SMP. The SMP has traditionally been celebrated as a retail and restaurant district with ancillary auto-intensive uses.

Staff are beginning to see interest in mid-block auto-intensive uses that have the potential to change the nature of the area they are proposed by impacting adjacent restaurant and retail uses.

There is not a shortage of auto-intensive uses in the city nor in the SMP meaning it is not a significant community need but rather is likely being proposed due to serve commuter trip traffic. Furthermore, in discussions with the community, residents desire preservation and enhancement of the SMP as the community’s shopping and dining district. The proposed Zoning Overlay would help address the pressures surrounding auto-intensive uses and put a focus on attracting businesses that are consistent with community needs and desires.

Project Description
In order to support the vision of the STSP and to support economic development within the SMP, the Planning Division recommends consideration of a Zoning Overlay within the SMP. An overlay zone is a zoning district which is applied over the existing commercial zoning district of those properties within the overlay boundary and establishes additional standards in addition to those of the underlying zoning district.

Agenda Packet Page 53
Subject: Sunrise MarketPlace Zoning Overlay
Date: October 27, 2022

Page 3 of 11 ends

Printed on Recycled Paper

The existing zoning districts within the proposed overlay area include a mix of Shopping Center (SC), Limited Commercial (LC), and Business Professional (BP). Absent an overlay, these zones allow a variety of auto-intensive uses with a Use Permit approved by the Planning Commission.

Proposed Overlay Text
Exhibit A includes the proposed Sunrise MarketPlace Zoning Overlay text. The text includes four key topics:

A. Purpose. This section establishes the purpose of the SMP Overlay District. The language focusses on the implementation of the General Plan and supports the vision and economic development goals for the SMP.

B. Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements. This section specifies that all uses allowed within the underlying zones (SC, BP, LC) will continue to be allowed as specified within the Zoning Code. However, the following uses are prohibited:

a. Service Stations (Gas Stations)
b. Vehicle Services – Major (includes uses such as towing, collision repair, auto repair)
c. Vehicle Services – Minor (includes uses such as car washes, brakes, batteries) d. Storage – Personal Storage Facility (mini-storage)
e. Ambulance, taxi, and specialized transportation facility

This section also clarifies that uses legally in existence which become prohibited with the adoption of the overlay, may continue to operate (including through transfer of ownership). Additionally, the adoption of the overlay will not prohibit these existing business from enlarging or expanding their building in accordance with Section C below.

C. Development and operating standards for prohibited use expansion. This section provides the standards which would allow existing businesses, which are made prohibitive through the adoption of the overall zone, to expand with approval of a Use Permit and Design Review Permit. The following standards would apply:
a. Driveway Consolidation – This standard encourages these uses to consolidate driveways and strongly discourages the creation of new driveways for expansion of these uses.
b. Active Transportation – This standard prioritizes site access and circulation for active transportation users.
c. Health Risk Assessment – This standard requires a Health Risk Assessment as part of the application submittal for uses that generate operational air quality emissions that may be hazardous.
d. Design Standards – This standard requires the expansion to adhere to existing design guidelines and requires a comprehensive update of impacted sites, not just the expanded portions.

D. Required Findings for Approval. This section includes six findings necessary for the Review Authority to make prior to approving a project that is legally existing before December 1, 2022.

Proposed Overlay Map
The proposed SMP Overlay geography is largely consistent with the existing Sunrise MarketPlace Property Business Improvement District as shown in Figure 1. The proposed SMP overlay does not include the Sunrise Mall property, as this property is regulated by the Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan.

Figure 1 – Proposed Overlay Map

Analysis
The Citrus Heights Zoning Code (Section 106.74.060.B) states that a Zoning Ordinance Amendment may occur only if the following findings listed below in bold italics can be made:

• The amendment is consistent with the General Plan; and • The amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health safety, convenience or welfare of the City

Given the City’s built-out nature (98% built out), nearly all future development in the City involves redevelopment of existing retail centers. The most likely location for redevelopment is Agenda Packet Page 55
Subject: Sunrise MarketPlace Zoning Overlay
Date: October 27, 2022

Page 5 of 11 ends

Printed on Recycled Paper
along the City’s existing commercial corridors, of which Greenback Lane and Sunrise Boulevard is a premier location and strong trade area. The land uses surrounding these corridors typically have an abundance of parking and are largely centered on retail, restaurant, or complementary uses.

The Sunrise MarketPlace, the City, and the state are continuing to see the retail market evolve based on the impacts of e-commerce, competition from other shopping centers, and the impacts of Covid-19. While certain uses may be feasible today, the long-term impact of a new use may not be felt for many years. Once established, most land uses are typically relatively permanent and create long lasting impacts.

For example, introduction of a gas station, even a well-designed gas station, can deter redevelopment or leasing of adjacent sites due to the odor, air quality, and traffic related impacts.

Given the limited availability of land, more destination oriented uses are needed for the more future forward investment and redevelopment strategy the Sunrise MarketPlace must attract in order to achieve the broader economic development and housing related goals of the City.

As a result, dozens of General Plan goals, policies, and objectives focus on ensuring high quality redevelopment along the City’s commercial corridors is supportive of the future growth anticipated to occur along these corridors. The General Plan recognizes the importance of ensuring this redevelopment is high quality and compatible with the land uses anticipated to support future growth along these corridors.

The addition of an Overlay Zone amending the Zoning Code is consistent with many goals of the General Plan. The table below lists some of the most applicable goals, with a short discussion of how the overlay relates to that goal.

Goal/Policy Goal/Policy Language Discussion
Goal 8 Maintain the economic strength of retail
centers by focusing retail activities at
major intersections
The intent of the overlay is to
reduce the impact of land uses on
existing and future land uses along
two of the City’s major corridors
within the SMP.

Goal 9

Policy 9.1

Policy 9.2
Revitalize and maintain corridors as
economically viable and physically
attractive

Where appropriate, provide opportunities
for a mix of low-intensity nonresidential
land uses in residential sections of major
corridors that will support attractive and
healthy work and living environments

The overlay will prohibit land uses
that are oftentimes less attractive
than alternative uses.

Residential, dining, and mixed-use
projects are sensitive to uses that
produce noise, odors, and high
volumes of traffic. The proposed
ordinance limits these uses to
preserve land for uses that are
more compatible with sensitive
uses.

Achieve attractive, inviting, and

corridors

Design buildings to revitalize streets and
public spaces and to enhance a sense of
community and personal safety
The proposed overlay will support
attractive, inviting, and functional
corridors that support land uses
that are envisioned within the
SMP. Restricting uses that cause
noise, odors, or similar operational
challenges creates more
opportunity to revitalize public
spaces to encourage sense of
community and personal safety.

Policy 10.8 Discourage concentration of auto
intensive facilities (such as drive through
and gas station uses) and ensure that
drive-through businesses are allowed
only where compatible with the
surrounding areas
Over-concentration of auto
intensive uses can create an
undesirable atmosphere for
sensitive land uses such as
residential and mixed-use
development. Often these uses are
catered toward pass-through traffic
rather than local trips.

The proposed overlay will help
reduce the concentration of these
uses to encourage uses that are
supportive of local trips and trips
by pedestrians, cyclists, and
transit.

Goal 11

Policy 11.3
Maintain and strengthen Sunrise
MarketPlace as the heart of commercial

The proposed overlay is intended
to restrict uses that may have a

land uses. The overlay preserves
scarce land for uses that are more
compatible with the SMP and
surrounding neighborhoods.

MarketPlace area to provide adequate
access for vehicles, transit, bicycles and
pedestrians

Facilitate the development of new
buildings in areas currently devoted to
parking to shorten distances between
buildings and foster better pedestrian
connections between shopping centers

Promote transit-oriented development
through reuse and redevelopment of
opportunity sites near the Greenback
Lane/Sunrise Boulevard intersection,
including potential mixed-use projects
with a residential component. Coordinate
potential development plans with transit
near this intersection
The intent of the overlay is to
reduce uses that have the potential
to impact nearby land uses. These
uses, typically catering towards
vehicles can be detrimental to
pedestrians, transit users, and
bicyclists.

These types of uses can deter
transit investment and limit
redevelopment of parcels once
established.

These uses can limit residential
and mixed use projects due to
noise, traffic, and odors affiliated
with operation of these users.

Goal 15

Diversify the local economy to meet the
present and future employment, shopping,
and service needs of Citrus Heights
residents and sustain long-term fiscal
health

The Overlay seeks to prohibit uses
that have the potential to
negatively affect existing or future
adjacent land uses.

Policy 15.1 Pursue non-retail development and reuse
(including home occupations, information
services, lodging and conference uses) to
provide additional job opportunities,
reduce the City’s long-term dependence
on retail sales for jobs and revenue, and
provide viable alternatives for currently
underutilized retail centers
As a nearly built-out community,
preserving land for non-retail
development is a key component
of the City’s broader economic
development goals.

Restricting auto-intensive uses can
support development of non-retail
uses that aid the City in recruiting
different business sectors.

Goal 18 Be responsive to changing economic
conditions and opportunities
The business environment
continues to evolve and change
consumer and resident
expectations. Preventing uses that
have impacts on adjacent land uses
can preserve land for new
development that is more aligned
with changing demands from
businesses and the community.

Goal 25

Policy 25.1

Policy 25.4:

Provide adequate sites for a variety of
housing opportunities to serve all
residents

Promote development of a variety of
housing types in terms of location, cost,
design, style, type, and tenure, while
ensuring compatibility with adjacent uses
of land.

Support a variety of housing opportunities
on vacant or under-utilized lands

The City is required to plan for
future growth facing the region
within the General Plan. Ensuring
that there are adequate sites for
housing is a central component of
the City’s Housing Element.

Housing, in particular is very
sensitive to its adjacency to land
uses that create noise, odor, and
high traffic/circulation challenges.

Ensuring preservation of land to
accommodate the anticipated
growth on vacant and
underutilized is critical; however,
ensuring these development sites
are not impacted by adjacent land
uses that are incompatible is
equally important to the likelihood
of housing opportunities.

achieving 25-35% of the city’s overall
RHNA requirement within these zones

Green Zones are key areas that
must have infill capacity, be in an
area planned for infill
development, and be in a center,
corridor, or established
community, as identified in
SACOG’s Sustainable
Communities Strategy (SCS).

SACOG provides growth forecasts
as part of the MTP/SCS for the
region. Within the Sunrise
MarketPlace Green Zone, the
MTP/SCS identifies the
Greenback/Sunrise “center and
Corridor Community” (not
including Sunrise Tomorrow) as
an area anticipated to see
residential growth.

Not including Sunrise Tomorrow,
this corridor (Sunrise Boulevard
between Madison Avenue and
Sayonara Drive and Greenback
Lane between Dewey Drive and
Fair Oaks Boulevard) is
anticipated to see between 350 and
700 new residential units by 2050.

As a result, preservation of key
redevelopment opportunity sites
along this corridor is imperative.

Ensuring preservation of sites are
developable and compatible with
surrounding uses is key to
accommodating this growth.

Conclusion
The proposed Zoning Code amendment is consistent with and supportive of the General Plan and will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.

The proposed modifications are intended to update the Zoning Code based on changing trends and to implement the General Plan related to Sunrise MarkePlace.

September 22, 2022 Planning Commission Meeting
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Sunrise MarketPlace Zoning Overlay on September 28, 2022. The Planning Commission Staff Report is available here and a video of the
Planning Commission is available here.

Several speakers spoke in favor of the proposed overlay. Many of the comments provided by the speakers were related to the importance of attracting uses that are supportive of the STSP and the future of the SMP.

Two property owners (Phil and John Jarret) affiliated with the former China Buffet Site (5623 Sunrise Boulevard) expressed concerns with the impact of the proposed overlay on a potential Car Wash considered for the China Buffet Site. They also provided a packet of information about a potential car wash operator for the site (Attachment B9).

The Executive Director of SMP, Kathilynn Carpenter verbally summarized comments from the Sunrise MarketPlace Board Meeting and the lack of a consensus among the Board. She expressed a desire for the City to assist with economic development support to encourage redevelopment of key sites.

The property and business owner of El Tapatio restaurant (5637 Sunrise Boulevard) spoke in favor of the proposed overlay.

The Planning Commissioners discussed the proposed overlay and voted 4-0 (two members absent and one member recused) to recommend the City Council adopt the proposed ordinance.

Outreach
Information about the proposed Overlay has been included on the City’s website since the overlay was first considered. The FAQ’s from the website are included as Attachment A.

Significant outreach has been conducted throughout the development of the overlay. City staff presented the zoning concept to numerous neighborhood associations including CHASEN (NA #s 7, 8, & 9), SOAR (NA #10), Sunrise Ranch (NA #6), and Birdcage Heights (NA #11). Each association supported the overlay and submitted letters of support (Attachments B1-B4). In addition, staff has received emails from residents Glenda Anderson, Doug and Dixie Lent, Gurtej Gill (owner of Boston Pizza), and Jenna Moser, all in support of the overlay (Attachments B5- B8).

Staff also worked closely with the Sunrise MarketPlace PBID in efforts to outreach businesses within the SMP. Staff presented the item to the SMP Board on September 8, 2022. The Board asked questions about the proposed overlay and discussed the topic at length, but was unable to reach consensus on whether or not to support the overlay. Kathilynn Carpenter, Executive Director of the Sunrise MarketPlace, provided a recap of the comments from the Board meeting and the recap has been provided as Attachment B11.

Staff also presented the proposed overlay to the Citrus Heights Regional Chamber of Commerce Board on September 22, 2022. Staff responded to questions and discussed the City’s vision for the MarketPlace and how land use decisions impact future development. As of the writing of this report, the Chamber has not provided an official letter in response to the proposed overlay.

The Property Owners of the China Buffet Site (5623 Sunrise Blvd) have provided a comment letter (Attachment B9) and packet of car wash information (Attachment B10).

Public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within 500 feet of the proposed overlay boundary and a notice was published in the general circulating newspaper, the Citrus Heights Messenger.

Agenda Packet Page 63
entertainment facilities. The Sunrise Boulevard and Greenback Lane thoroughfares bisect this important district. These roadways serve significant cut-through traffic detracting from the General Plan goals to create an inviting and distinctive identity for the Sunrise MarketPlace to promote its image as the City’s premier destination to shop, work, live and play.

Certain land uses support cut -through traffic, but are contrary to broader quality of life, redevelopment, circulation, air quality, and economic development objectives.

SUNRISE MARKETPLACE OVERLAY DISTRICT
For more information:

#solidrootsnewgrowth
1 What is being considered?
A zoning overlay is being considered to restrict auto-oriented uses like gas stations and car washes in the Sunrise MarketPlace area. 2 What is an overlay zone?
A zoning map overlay is a land use tool that can be used to change or modify the provisions of the zoning code that are applicable to a defined area in the city, without actually rezoning any of the land. A zoning map overlay is, in essence, a second zoning map superimposed on the existing map for the land in question.
3 What is the purpose of the Sunrise Market Place Overlay Zone? The overlay zone would further refine the allowed uses within the Sunrise MarketPlace to retain this area as the City’s core area for shopping, dining and entertainment.

Over 57 percent of vehicle trips on Sunrise Boulevard are from non- Citrus Heights residents (cut through and commute traffic). The trips are typically travelers that are cutting through the City to connect to adjacent jurisdictions or Interstate 80 or Highway 50, often not stopping to shop or dine in Citrus Heights. The uses like gas stations, car washes, drive- through services/restaurants, etc. are in high demand along the Sunrise Corridor because of this traffic pattern and volume.

Conversely, the City has heard from the community that residents want more non-auto-oriented uses that create community vibrancy like sit-down restaurants, entertainment and local neighborhood services. Although a variety of factors impact the ability to attract these uses, availability of adequate sites is one factor within the City’s control and of increased importance given Citrus Heights is 98% built out. Recently, demand for auto-oriented uses has hit a new high, generating significant interest to convert existing vacant restaurants or add new construction in the Sunrise MarketPlace area for gas stations and car washes. These uses are often profitable for property owners and in higher demand than alternatives.

The overlay zone would restrict uses like this that encourage cut-through traffic to preserve remaining available real estate for uses that support neighborhood vibrancy.
4 What are the consequences of auto-intense uses?
Additional auto-intense uses can have adverse effect on community character, neighborhood vibrancy, and the perception of the MarketPlace and the City. These uses also have a ripple effect: rather than attracting other uses that enhance community character, these uses tend to attract other auto-centric uses. Concentrations of auto-oriented uses often deter sit-down dining and entertainment due to the atmosphere, appearance, and associated impacts (traffic, air quality, noise, etc.). 5 How would an overlay benefit the City’s future?
To ensure the limited space left within the district would be available to create community vibrancy, the City would need to implement zoning that reflects the community’s desired uses and shared vision and restrict undesired uses.

One of the most important aspects of the shared vision for Sunrise MarketPlace is the recently adopted Sunris e T
omorrow Specific Plan
(STSP). The plan provides a path to transform Sunrise Mall into a new economic engine and place for residents to shop, work, live and play.

The plan promotes development that will attract uses that contribute to neighborhood vibrancy and the City’s economic growth. The vision of the Plan creates a walkable and pedestrian oriented areas and less auto-centric uses. Drive-throughs, gas stations and similar uses are prohibited on the 100-acre Sunrise Mall site to accomplish this vision.

Extending this restriction to the immediate trade area preserves the limited land available so it can benefit from the Specific Plan’s uplift. 6 How can the City protect key sites?
In order to preserve remaining available sites in the Sunrise MarketPlace area and to support Sunris e Tomorrow, the City’s Community Development Department is considering establishing a zoning overlay.

This zoning overlay would ensure redevelopment of the SMP supportive of the City’s goals by encouraging more shopping, dining and entertainment experiences without adding new land uses that encourage cut-through traffic and other auto-intense land uses i.e. gas stations, car washes, etc.

7 What if a gas station is already operating within the SMP? All legally existing businesses could remain in operation. The overlay would not allow NEW service stations or auto-orientated uses. 8 Does the city currently have any other zoning overlay districts? Many residential properties along Sunrise Boulevard and Antelope Road (major corridors) are within an overlay zone which allows some business activities on the residential properties.
9 What City Goals would the Overlay help deliver?
The SMP Overlay District is consistent with the City’s three-year strategic plan goals in the areas of enhance alternative modes of transportations, diversify for a reliant economy, and enhance community vibrancy and engagement.
10 How do I learn more about the SMP Overlay Project?
Additional information on the SMP Overlay Project can be found on the city’s website www.citrusheights.net/smpoveraly or by contacting the Planning Division at (916) 727-4740.

Hi Casey –
We did get responses to our request for development in the Sunrise Marketplace area. First off – there was a substantial ‘thank you for asking’. Seems as people really like to know that the City cares about their opinions.

Now… majority of input
NO for Car Wash and Gas Stations
YES for restaurants, mix of fine and casual dining, including high end YES for Small businesses and entertainment
Lots of comments.  The majority of the comments for additions were requesting restaurants.  Also, suggesting  shopping or activities that keep folks within Citrus Heights.  Included are just a few comments:
** There's nothing wrong with car washes and gas stations, but it seems we have enough already. ** We would like to see more high‐end restaurants in Citrus Heights. Currently, if you want to go out to a nice dinner, you have to go to Fair Oaks or Roseville. Everything and Citrus Heights is either fast food or middle of the road quality.
** Would love to see at least a few more restaurants ‐    a local coffee shop would be great! We would prefer to stay within Citrus Heights when possible.
**.Small businesses or sit down restaurants would be great for the Sunrise market place. Thanks! ** Yes  Stores/boutiques, Small medical officers, physical therapy, dental ** Restaurants with indoor and outdoor seating, parks with water fountains, an area for concerts, ** My vote is for entertainment venues
** No – pawn shops/ Check cashing, chain convenience stores. ** I don't want any more vape or smoke shops.
** Lodging ‐ There are many events within the city for family gatherings, city events & business events where people travel from outside the city and yet there isn't any lodging within the city.

I don't want any more vape or smoke shops.

We really don't want car washes/gas stations in the Sunrise Corridor in the Marketplace area. There are higher and better uses of that property as Sunrise Mall starts to redevelop.

I would like to see more sit down restaurants and a Chick-Fil-A.

I don't think a few auto intensive businesses would be bad - we currently go to Brake Master. However, we generally go to this area for restaurants and goods so these types of businesses are preferred. Our favorite current businesses in the area are Lowe's, Target, Old Navy, Once Upon a Child, Sprouts, Dollar Tree, Panera, Red Robin, Panda Express. Would love to see at least a few more restaurants - Chick-fil-A, Jack's Urban Eats, Handles Ice Cream, Sacramento Pizza Co (or another build your own pizza place)! We also wouldn't be opposed to some small businesses - a local coffee shop would be great!
Currently we go to Roseville for REI, Buy Buy Baby, furniture stores. We go to Fair Oaks for a soccer store and Pause Coffee. We would prefer to stay within Citrus Heights when possible.

Keep Macy’s and JC Penney’s! And bring in other high end retail stores. Don’t want to have to go to Galleria or Arden Fair for shopping. Some fine dining — no more fast, Appleby’s type food establishments or dollar stores.

Class it up, Citrus Heights. This city is becoming the hood. Have lived here for 36 years and sick of the decline.

Pave the neighborhood roads and fix the sidewalks. I could go on but I’ll stop since I’ve gotten off the Sunrise Market input.

We would like to see more high-end restaurants in Citrus Heights. Currently, if you want to go out to a nice dinner, you have to go to Fair Oaks or Roseville. Everything and Citrus Heights is either fast food or middle of the road quality.

Thanks for asking for our opinions!

My family and I don't want more gas stations and another carwash seems unnecessary. Small businesses or sit down restaurants would be great for the Sunrise market place. Thanks!

I'm so glad they are seeking our input!

Here are our thoughts
NO: Car washes or gas stations. We feel that there are enough of those that are easily accessible.

YES: restaurants, juice bar (like Nekter), Entertainment (movie theaters, bowling alley, coffee/lounge etc). Things that make people want to spend time here...

I would like to see more fine dining, possibly a bakery as there's no where hardly to go for desserts. A Home Goods would be nice in our area. We need businesses that will draw shoppers to the Citrus Heights area. We don't need more car washes or gas stations.

Also I was surprised to see Sears and the two adjacent buildings are for sale. I thought that area was part of the revitalization? The City has been talking and getting input for Sunrise Mall way before my husband passed away 14 years ago so it's been in discussion at least 18-20 years. All we're told is it takes time but how much more time is needed before they start. I'm becoming very discouraged at no progress. Please pass my comments on as I'm not the only one that feels this way.

Thank you

Business I do want:
 Gyms (outdoor and indoor)
 Restaurants
 Stores/boutiques
 Small business shops
 Pet hotels
 Outdoor
 Small medical offices - physical therapy, dental offices, etc.

Businesses I do not want:
 Auto intensive businesses
 pawn shops/ check in cash shops
 Chain convenience stores and liquor stores
 Banks

WANT:
- Variety of restaurants (Bakery)
- Entertainment venues (Ax throwing, arcade, Karaoke "bar") - Beauty salon (hair, nails, skin care)

DO NOT WANT:
- Gas station
- Auto repair
- Auto supplies

Citrus Heights has enough car washes, gas stations, auto repair places, supply stores, mini marts and bland, corporate junk food emporiums. If the City wants to make the Market Place a go to destination along with transforming the moribund Sunrise Mall I would like to see some upscale restaurants like Fat’s, Mikuni, Ruth’s Chris, Morton’s et al. We also need a good, well run venue for live music, and a performing arts theatre for both indoor and outdoor events. Transform Arcadia Drive by doing something about the long vacant and ugly building across the street from the huge new housing development, Mitchell Farms? Demolish it along with the now vacant Rite Aid and ‘build back better’. Why not learn from what Folsom did with Sutter Street or what my former hometown, Livermore CA, did to transform its declining downtown district into a vibrant, exciting place to be. There is really not much to do here in Citrus Heights. I could go on and on.

Oh, while I am at it, what about fleshing out Stock Ranch, starting with maybe a Raley’s which might do something about the dirt and weed patch that fronts the complex?

Just my 2 cents, FWIW.

I want no more gas stations or car washes. I like having Penneys there and other stores currently in the Sunrise Mall. I was sad to see Wards leave. A sit-down restaurant would be nice.

Hi! Thanks for asking for input.

There's nothing wrong with car washes and gas stations, but it seems we have enough already.

Some ideas-
A movie theater. Maybe even a small live theater.

How about some space for a trade school?
Mini-golf and/or batting cages,
Restaurants that are locally owned. (Not exclusively owned by Citrus Heights residents, but a Buckhorn over a Sizzler.)
Agenda Packet Page 73
Chasen2 9/22/2022 Page 3 of 4
A butcher shop.

A bread store.

A flower store.

Maybe something like the Crafter's Mall that used to be in the Trader Joe's center on Sunrise. I loved that place.

Informal, but a little upscale, outdoor dining/drinks in a beautiful courtyard (yes, as I type it's 115 degrees, but not usually!)

If just more of the same franchises are put in, well, I can go to Roseville for that, and they will probably be bigger.

Give me local business I feel good about supporting and I'll spend my money here.

Gas stations and car washes are everywhere.

Covid really highlighted the fundamental human need for connection. I'd love to buy bread from the person who makes it!

I would like to see Restaurants with indoor and outdoor seating, parks with water fountains, an area for concerts, outdoor dancing, Par Course, Dog Walking, bicycling, picnicking, family fun, basketball court, tennis courts, swimming pool. Adequate Night lighting for safety. Let the Neighborhood, the Citizens of Citrus Heights, know they are valued, will increase property value, people will want to live here. Community Police presence.

Safe fun area for families and singles. Perhaps also a movie theatre. Indoor climbing, indoor trampoline. Please feel free to call. Thank you for asking.

Long Time Resident

I would love there to be a central place that I can bring friends to or go out on a date night that stays open past 8pm. Currently, I go more often to Fair Oaks, Folsom or Roseville to shop or meet up with people at a non- Starbucks cafe, pub, or fancy restaurant, but I would prefer to spend my money to help my local community.

My vote is for entertainment venues (experiences, movies, etc), a mix of fine and casual dining, cafe (plus gelato!?), and fun places to buy unique gifts. It would also be great to have an open community space for a weekly farmer’s market and summer concerts.

We have a community center which is probably the only facility in Citrus Heights that can hold major events such as business symposiums (think SACPAC that hosted over 700 attendees, SCORE & SBA, Homeland Security), medical seminars, training events, wedding receptions, anniversary celebrations, funeral receptions, banquets etc.

There are many events within the city whether family gatherings, city events & business events where people travel from outside the city and yet there isn't any lodging within the city. The closest lodging is Ranch Cordova and Roseville, granted not far however those that travel also purchase fuel, meals, shopping etc. that support local businesses, along with employment and taxes. Also as Sacramento has become unattractive for businesses and lodging alike, we could be another source of choice for those traveling to Reno/Tahoe.

Possible pieces of property on Sunrise (Marie Calendars & restaurant nextdoor) instead of a car wash & service station, Antelope west of 80 and the property on Stock Ranch come to mind for some kind of lodging. Any other 3+ acre property? 2 - 3 story? Underground parking? We need to start thinking outside the "box" to be more hospitable and bring in more upscale $$, I'm not talking Motel 6 here!

That's all I can think of at the moment.

Hello,
Thank you for sending this email and it is a great idea asking for input from the residents of this area. I am not totally against a car wash but the location to have it, I don’t think it’s the right place. As for another gas station, not in favor.

The type of business I want to see in the Sunrise Marketplace area listed below:

A restaurant that has soups and salads. I miss Fresh Choice and Sizzler. They had such a variety of choices.

1. La Bou – used to be in the Sunrise Mall. I was so excited to have this bakery/restaurant close by. I have to travel to Roseville (Douglas Blvd) for their Chinese chicken salad.

2. Chick-fil-A - they have such a variety of chicken with sandwiches and salads. I know we have two chicken places, Canes & Popeyes, but we do have two hamburger places across the street from each other on Sunrise Blvd. The old Marie Calendars restaurant location would be ideal and room for the long drive-thru lines at peak times.

3. Long John Silvers – besides Red Lobster (great place), I do not know any close places to get seafood and drive thru. Recently, found out the one place closed on Auburn Blvd & Madison Ave. Love their shrimp platters combo.

4. Movie theatre – used to be one in the Sunrise Mall. Reasonable prizes but getting very old and needed upgrades. We can use a place for entertainment.

5. Office Dept – even though we have Staples but I think we can always use another office supply store. Madison Ave store closed last year and it’s a bit far to go Roseville location. The only other office supply store is crossing the river into Rancho Cordova.

I have been a long time resident of 30 years plus and seen some businesses come and go. Look forward to see other residents what they wish for in Sunrise Marketplace area.

Kind Regards,

Dear City Planners,
Area 6 residents and board of directors would like to voice their support of the Sunrise Market Place Overlay District. We believe it is important that our city continue the efforts to build a family friendly core market place that supports sit-down dining, entertainment, shopping and other non automotive related opportunities. The Overlay designated area is of vital importance to the economic growth of Citrus Heights, but it should not be driven by gas station, car wash, mini mart and drive through food establishments. We feel the city’s residents have strongly voiced their approval of the initial Sunrise Tomorrow development concept that did not include an intensive automotive vision that would have a negative impact on out community. Prior Planning Commission commissioners have also expressed this view in their reviews of the Sunrise Tomorrow and the Mitchell Farms community development.

Please express our support to the Market Place Overlay District to the city council.

Sincerely
Ruth A. Fox, President, Area 6

RE:

On June 27, Casey Kempanauer presented the Sunrise Marketplace Overlay Zone proposal to the members of SOAR. About 17 members were present and we unanimously agreed to support the overlay.

Auto-oriented bushiness are already located at the four corners of the Marketplace (or close to a corner) so there is little need for these businesses. And will there be a need for gas stations after gas-powered vehicles are banned in California? Electric-charging stations are more critically located near freeways so those won’t be needed in the Marketplace. So we don’t need these businesses in the Marketplace.

We support the vision of the Marketplace development, the Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan.. The Marketplace is best suited for shopping, dining and entertainment venues. These uses create a vibrant community consistent with the STSP. For years, residents have insisted we have more sit-down restaurants. We have had a few restaurants but mostly “drive through/fast food” options. Instead, we drive to Roseville or Folsom for a sit-down dining experience. We don’t have enough restaurant options in our city and Sunrise Boulevard is a perfect site for more restaurants.

We urge you to adopt the Sunrise MarketPlace Overlay Zone.

Thank you.

I applaud any effort to make the area more like a neighborhood shopping and dining area. I hope it includes crosswalks and sidewalks where Farmgate crosses over to the Target parking area. Every time I try to walk there from my house, I feel like I’m risking my safety as there isn’t even an obvious traffic lane and you can’t get to the store without walking in the driveway.

Similarly, I’m hoping for speed berms on Merlindale someday. It’s basically a speedway for hot rodders without mufflers.

Thanks again for trying to improve the quality of life for the neighborhood.

Hi Alison,
We have the same
view as the City itself. Bringing in auto uses adjacent to our business is going to be a detrimental factor for us and others as well. We definitely like to see some new eating places come up around us.

We heard See's Candy has plans to come in at the Patelco Location. We look forward to it and also the development of the plaza next door.

We have worked in different cities and counties around here, and have not found any other jurisdiction more supportive than the City of Citrus Heights for businesses be it planning, building, licenses etc.

Feel free to call me if you have any questions. Thank you again for your support of our restaurant.

If the City has any catering needs anytime let me know.

Thank you,

Good morni
ng Miss Bermudez ‐ thanks for speaking with me on the phone earlier ‐ as requested I have outlined just a couple of the issues we discussed on the phone for you to cover with your staff and electeds re the sunrise marketplace overlay zoning amendment.

I am writing in favor of the amendment and also suggesting that this opportuni ty be used as a jumping off point to further address parking lot connectivity, sidewalk connectivity and facade aesthetics in the overlay zone.

The city does not have concrete requirements to require new development to submit a parking lot connectivity plan.

This plan would en sure traffic and pedestrian movement easily between adjacent properties involved in development, and that adjacent areas connections are considered as part of new development. I suggest that this plan be required in the overlay zone. A parking lot connectivity plan is a document that an engineering company can prepare as part of any plan submittal package.

I am also suggesting As a ph
ase II or ongoing review of the overlay to investigate more stringent aesthetic & sign regulations for this overlay. This area is ripe for a form based or a more aesthetic focused code.

If you’re interested in discussing this fur ther my contact information is below thanks for speaking with me and I hope this email covers the high points that we spoke about.

Re: Objection to proposed Sunrise Marketplace Overlay)
Dear Mr. Kempenaar,
I represent the property owners of the former China Buffet building located at 5623 Sunrise Blvd., Citrus Heights Ca 95610. A.P.N. 233 0680 013.

This letter is to inform you that we object to the proposed Sunrise Marketplace Overlay project and zoning district that is currently being recommended by the Planning Division to the City Counsel.

We object to the findings and conclusion reached by the Planning Division and believe that the proposed Sunrise Marketplace Overlay Project does not protect the business interest of the owners of the property.

A representative of the owners will be present at the Hearing on 09/28/2022, to discuss our objections.

Sincerely,
John P. Jarrett, Esq.

RE: Sunrise MarketPlace Overlay Ban
De
ar Mayor Middleton, Vice Mayor Schaefer, Councilmembers and City Manager Feeney, As you may be aware, the Board was unable to come to a consensus regarding the Overlay Ban which Staff presented at our September 8 board meeting. The Board was unanimous in its opposition to a gas station at the former Marie Callender’s site. Some members were supportive of the car wash as it is membership based and relies on a 2 to 3-mile trade zone (verified by our geo-based software).

With no consensus, I cannot advocate one way or the other for the ban. However, the board brought up many points that are germane to the issue.
• The City should be more proactive in zoning changes and consider conditional use permits (CUP’s) on a case-by-case basis. In this instance, it wasn’t until the property owner had acquired a use for the long dormant site that the Overlay was proposed. It takes many months of lease negotiation and attorney fees to complete this process. • If the City prefers certain uses over others, it is incumbent on staff to assist the owner in finding the desired use, especially if that use is not easily acquired (sit-down restaurant, entertainment).

This assistance should include financial incentives.
• We appreciate the communities desire for a high-end restaurant, entertainment, and other uses. We would like that too, unfortunately, sit-down restaurants and entertainment uses will take some time to come back. The owners of Marie Callender’s and China Buffet have tried for several years to attract a restaurant. Merlone Geier, a well-connected, experienced developer, was unable to secure a restaurant for the former Fuddruckers building. The building will now likely house an upscale spa.
• These buildings will need to be razed and the cost will be substantial. As the City waits for the desired uses, the buildings will continue to deteriorate. These buildings are currently high targets for vandalism, abandoned cars, people living in their cars, illegal dumping, and homeless camps. The owners spend considerable sums keeping on top of these activities. SMP’s maintenance porter and our security spend a significant amount of time there. This is not equitable for all the participants of the PBID.
• The City and SMP should be prepared for these buildings to be empty for some time. There are no options to arrest these transients as the County jail will not take arrests for trespassing, vandalism, etc. We no longer transport to the jail for these crimes, as it is waste of time and takes Officer Schouten off his beat for long periods.

B11
Agenda Packet Page 93
• Property owners should have some rights, and the proposed ban, along with the Specific Plan at Sunrise Mall, represent a slippery slope. We understand and appreciate the reasoning for the Specific Plan and are not opposed to it. It does however, present some issues as the mall continues to decline. This one-hundred-acre site is the heart and the previous economic engine of the District. The board is understandably concerned about the future of the site and the length of time forecasted for the redevelopment.
• Sunrise MarketPlace currently spends approximately $300,000 annually on security and public area maintenance. Vacant buildings make our job that much more difficult. • Finally, staff did not mention mini storage at the board meeting. Therefore, I am unable to address that use on their behalf. However, Andy Gianulias has been planning to develop storage at his parcel behind Econo Lube, adjacent to Mitchell Village. He understands he must secure a zoning change but has requested his parcel be carved out of the Overlay. This is not the most desirable use, however, with the housing so close, the options are limited. Already residents back up to Greenback Square and Citrus Town Center and contend with noise and smells from the back alleyways. Homes in Mitchell Village and Marquee at Fair Oaks have limited driveways and strict HOA rules about garage use and cars on the street. It could be a needed amenity for residents.

We appreciate your consideration of these points and stand ready to work with the City whatever decisions are made. Again, we do not take a stand, this letter reflects discussion at the meeting and part of the reason the board was unable to take a position.

Warmest Regards

BJECT: Review Final 2023 Action Plan and Funding Recommendations for the Community Development Block Grant Program
Summary and Recommendation
Th
e City of Citrus Heights is an “entitlement jurisdiction” under the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The City receives an annual award of CDBG funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Although the City will not receive its actual grant amount until mid-2023, staff estimates the City will receive a total $600,000 in 2023 entitlement funds.

Additionally, City staff encourages citizen participation throughout the Action Plan process through strategies such as hosting a funding workshop for potential public service applicants, consulting local organizations, holding public meetings, and inviting public comment while the public has the opportunity to review the draft document.

Using research and input from the public, City staff formulated the objectives and outcomes briefly described below.

Table 5 - Expected Resources – Priority Table

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
The City will use federal block grant funding, program income, City general funds, and other incentive programs to address the objectives identified in this Plan. All capital improvement projects funded with CDBG have utilized other federal and state funding sources such as Measure A funds and Drainage funds, to complete design, engineering, and construction work that exceeds the Agenda Packet Page 132
Draft Annual Action Plan
2023
24 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
City’s CDBG allocation for these projects. With respect to public services, the City requires all subrecipients to identify other resources that will be utilized during the program year to operate and implement CDBG supportive activities. For example, the City is utilizing its new PLHA annual funding to further leverage the City’s CDBG funding. The City is using PLHA funds to fund the Housing Counseling and Navigator Program, funds are being used for staff costs and essential housing services to assist those who are experiencing homelessness or at-risk of becoming homeless. It is the City intent to ensure that adequate non-federal and private funds are available, thus minimizing the City’s dependence on federal funds.

If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
The City is currently in the pre-planning phase for proposed affordable housing units identified as the Sayonara affordable housing project.

Previously, the City purchased and demolished 15 duplexes and 1 eight-plex along Sayonara Drive with the intent of replacing them with a new affordable housing development. The City has previously invested CDBG funds in this neighborhood, specifically the Citrus Heights Children and Youth Center, and hopes to continue encouraging projects that increase residents’ access to public services.

The City has made efforts to 1) take the lead in the design, construction, and funding of public improvements; 2) improve the appearance of commercial districts; and 3) stimulate private investment. These efforts have included streetscape enhancement projects and a campaign to revitalize the Auburn Boulevard Specific Plan Area. The campaign included assisting business owners with improving their customer base, one- on-one consulting, and a variety of grants and fee waivers to assist the property and business owners along the Auburn Boulevard corridor.

Additionally, the City recently purchased a property at Sylvan Corners. In accordance with the Surplus Lands Act, a portion of the housing development will be restricted to low- and moderate-income homeowners. The City is currently working on developing an Affordable Housing Monitoring Program to be used in partnership with the City, Developer and Buyer on the affordable component of this project.

Discussion
As stated above, the City has demonstrated the utilization of land to address the City's Consolidated Plan needs, including to promote affordable housing and economic development in Citrus Heights.

The City participated in conducting the Sacramento Valley Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) which identified barriers to affordable housing:
• Segregation and integration: Segregation and lack of access to economic opportunity persists in many areas of the region, both within and across jurisdictions. Although the region has grown more diverse, the effects of past systemic segregation and exclusion in housing still disproportionately impact members of protected classes. • Disproportionate housing needs: In the Sacramento Valley region, the most disproportionate housing needs are found in homeownership rates, cost-burden and housing challenges, as well as displacement experience. • Access to opportunity: Access to economic opportunity varies by type of opportunity, across the region and within communities. Areas where jurisdictions differed from the region in access to opportunity include:
• With the exceptions of a few school districts (e.g., Davis, Rocklin, Roseville)—there are disparities in school quality between low and higher income neighborhoods, and these quality differences disproportionately impact people of color.

Residents of Citrus Heights, Rancho Cordova, Sacramento, and Woodland are least likely to live in neighborhoods with proficient schools.
• Resident survey respondents living in Sacramento and Sacramento County tend to give the lowest ratings of healthy neighborhood indicators among the participating jurisdictions. • Public transportation issues—especially bus routes, availability of bus service, and connections between communities— are a pressing concern to residents throughout the region. The exception is on “the grid” in downtown Sacramento, where public transit is considered the best available in the region.

The primary housing barriers and the factors that contribute to those barriers identified in the research conducted for the AI include:

• The harm caused by segregation is manifest in disproportionate housing needs and differences in economic opportunity. • Affordable rental options in the region are increasingly limited. • Residents with disabilities need for and lack access to affordable, accessible housing. • Stricter rental policies further limits options.

Draft Annual Action Plan
2023
39 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• Disparities in the ability to access homeownership exist. • Public transportation has not kept up with growth.
• Educational inequities persist in the region.
• Disparities in labor market engagement exist.
• Residents with disabilities lack access to supportive services and a spectrum of housing options to enable them, especially those with mental illness, achieve and maintain housing stability.

The AI includes the following solutions to address the contributing factors discussed above. The participating partners focused on strategies that:
• Increase homeownership rates among under-represented groups. • Expand affordable rental opportunities.
• Focus on a range of equity issues in accessing opportunity.

The City has identified barriers to affordable housing throughout the City's Housing Element. Notable barriers to developing affordable housing include:
• The balance between owner-occupied and renter-occupied housing and the preservation and maintenance of the City’s aging housing stock.
• As suburbs mature with an aging housing stock, both single-family homes and apartment complexes in Citrus Heights face an increasing need to maintain.
• Land availability and land zoned at densities appropriate for multi-family housing. • Environmental factors such as floodplains and native oak trees. • Availability of funding.
• Design guidelines, which control the appearance of new development. Due to the requirements, the cost of building new housing may increase.
• Site improvements, development impact fees, and processing fees add significant cost to the developing new housing. Developers often pay for new roadways, sewer, water, and park facilities, along with other miscellaneous fees. There are also costs associated with getting Agenda Packet Page 148
Draft Annual Action Plan
2023
40 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
projects approved by the City and other agencies.
• Permit and approval process. In addition, the cost of fees on new projects, the amount of time required to process them varies by project, and the developer generally must pay holding costs, such as property taxes during the time of assessment.

Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment The City will continue to promote infill, reduce regulatory and economic barriers to infill, and support new transportation options.

Discussion
Staff will continue to seek grant funding and ways to maintain and develop affordable housing. More information is available in the City’s Housing Element which was updated in 2021 and incorporated into the City General Plan adopted on August 11, 2011 which is available online at Housing Element | Citrus Heights, CA - Official Website (civicplus.com).

AP-85 Other Actions - 91.420, 91.220(k)
Introduction
While there are several constraints to meeting the needs of target-income residents, the primary obstacle is the lack of funding to fully address all needs. Economic challenges in recent years forced many nonprofits to cut services.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The economic challenges in recent years have forced many nonprofits to cut services at a time when government and other entities are least able to provide them. There is no federal requirement for the City to match CDBG funds; however, the City has maintained a commitment to provide local funding to nonprofits despite other budget cuts when possible.

Another obstacle to meeting underserved needs is that many more services are located outside Citrus Heights in the City of Sacramento or parts of Sacramento County closer to the urban core. Citrus Heights works closely with the regional transit agencies to improve access. There are several daily public transportation linkages between Citrus Heights and downtown Sacramento.

Another obstacle is the City’s lack of vacant land available for development. The City will focus heavily on the preservation of the existing housing stock through the Home Repair Program.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing In 2023, the City will continue to offer a variety of programs to foster and maintain affordable housing such as:

The Home Repair Program will offer low-interest loans/grants to homeowners making health and safety repairs to their homes. This program will be funded using loan repayments and prior year funds.

The City’s Code Enforcement Division will continue to support the Rental Housing Inspection Program, to assure low-income households have a safe and decent place to live.

The City approved an affordable permanent supportive housing project, Sunrise Pointe Apartments. The City approved the project in 2018 and allocated $3,580,000 of the City’s share of HOME Consortium funds to the 47-unit project planned for Sunrise Boulevard in Citrus Heights. This project is proposed to be completed by the end of 2022.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
While most housing units were built prior to 1978, target income households that may contain lead- Agenda Packet Page 150
Draft Annual Action Plan
2023
42 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
based paint occupy an estimated 5,312 units. The City will provide lead-abatement assistance for residential units through the Home Repair Program. The City contracts with a third-party firm to administer its Home Repair Program.

The City contracts with Michael Baker, International to administer the City’s Home Repair Loan Program.

Michael Baker International staff is qualified to evaluate lead-based paint hazards and implement lead- safe work practices. In addition, independent contractors are vetted through the City’s Home Repair Program to develop the appropriate lead hazard reduction plans and or abatement scopes of work. The programs will comply with the Residential Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X) and subsequent changes in September 1999. The procedures regarding lead-based paint in all repair programs will include notification and identification.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City’s anti-poverty strategy is based on providing a range of supportive services aimed at enabling those in poverty to move into the workforce or obtain benefits to which they are entitled (social security, disability). During the 2023 program year, Sacramento Self-Help Housing will provide housing counseling and supportive services to clients who are at-risk of homeless or experiencing homelessness.

The City will also continue to support activities that preserve and expand the supply of housing affordable to low-income households.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City’s Housing and Grants Division is responsible for the management, implementation, and monitoring of the Consolidated Plan documents, including the Annual Action Plan. The Housing Division works in close consultation with the Community Development Director, Finance Department, General Services Department, Citrus Heights Collaborative, and advisory committees.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City will continue to work with the neighboring jurisdictions, such as the County and the City of Sacramento and Sacramento Housing Redevelopment Agency, to address the regional issues that affect the needs of low-income persons as well as special needs populations. The City will also continue to work with many of the local nonprofits that provide a range of services to low-income Citrus Heights residents. In addition, the City plans to work with other entitlement jurisdictions in the Sacramento County, City of Elk Grove, and City of Rancho Cordova to research issues of interest to all jurisdictions Agenda Packet Page 151
Draft Annual Action Plan
2023
43 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
and to coordinate on shared subrecipient monitoring.

Discussion
The City has a number of actions planned to increase coordination among housing and social services agencies. For example, City staff facilitates the Citrus Heights Collaborative - an informal network of public and private social service agencies and community advocates. The Collaborative meets the second Friday of each month. In addition, City staff participates on the Continuum of Care Advisory Board and regional Funder's Collaborative.

BJECT: Establishment of the Auburn Boulevard Underground Utility District Summary and Recommendation
On
February 9, 2005, the City Council adopted The Boulevard Plan, a planning document to guide the revitalization and enhancement of Auburn Boulevard between Sylvan Corners and Interstate 80. The Boulevard Plan outlines, among other things, concepts, goals, and principles by which the Auburn Boulevard corridor should be updated, including a focus on undergrounding of overhead utility lines.

The first phase of public improvements between Sylvan Corners and Rusch Community Park was completed in 2014.

As fin
al engineering design and right of way acquisition are currently underway for the Auburn Boulevard Complete Streets Project – Phase 2 between Rusch Community Park and Interstate 80, impacted utility owners require the establishment of an underground utility district (UUD) for the Auburn Boulevard corridor between Sylvan Corners and the northern city limits. For the very small portion of Auburn Boulevard within Roseville city limits, Roseville staff confirmed their municipal code already requires undergrounding utilities citywide, therefore, no UUD will be necessary on Auburn Boulevard within Roseville.

Sta
ff recommends the City Council hold a public hearing and adopt Resolution No. 2022-____ A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Establishing an Underground Utility District on Auburn Boulevard between Sylvan Corners and the Northern City Limits.

Fiscal Impact
Es
tablishment of the Auburn Boulevard UUD will require that electrical panels on buildings be converted and/or modified to receive underground electrical service. The cost of these conversions is estimated to be $330,000, and will be paid for through project funding with no contribution from private property owners.

Background and Analysis

On February 9, 2005, the City Council adopted The Boulevard Plan, a planning document to guide the revitalization and enhancement of Auburn Boulevard between Sylvan Corners and Interstate 80. The Boulevard Plan outlines, among other things, concepts, goals, and principles by which the Auburn Boulevard corridor should be updated, including a focus on undergrounding of overhead utility lines.

The first phase of public improvements between Sylvan Corners and Rusch Community Park was completed in 2014.

As final engineering design and right of way acquisition are currently underway for the Auburn Boulevard Complete Streets Project – Phase 2 between Rusch Community Park and Interstate 80, impacted utility owners require the establishment of an UUD for the Auburn Boulevard corridor between Sylvan Corners and the northern city limits. The proposed UUD meets the established criteria of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) including:

a) That such undergrounding will avoid or eliminate an unusually heavy concentration of overhead electric facilities;

b) That the streets or roads or right of ways in the proposed district are extensively used by the general public and carries a heavy volume of pedestrian or vehicular traffic; and

c) That the streets or roads or right of ways in the proposed district are designated arterial streets or major collectors as defined in the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research General Plan Guidelines and identified in the adopted General Plan of the City of Citrus Heights.

Auburn Boulevard meets all of the criteria above in that a UUD will remove a heavy concentration of overhead electric facilities and is a major arterial with heavy traffic volumes serving not only Citrus Heights residents but a key regional corridor accessing Interstate 80.

The impacted utilities to be undergrounded include SMUD, Comcast, and Consolidated Communications, Inc. (CCI). All existing overhead wires and utility poles will be removed within the UUD by the utility companies at their sole expense once the new underground system is operational.

The city will bear the capital costs for the Comcast and CCI portion of the underground system while Comcast and CCI will bear the cost of placing conductors in the new system. Under their Strategic Direction No. 14 (SD-14) System Enhancement Policy, SMUD will bear the pro-rata share for capital expenses and installation of electrical conductors for SMUD facilities.

Citrus Heights Municipal Code (CHMC) Chapter 98-305 authorizes the City Council to establish an UUD by resolution, following notice to affected property owners and a public hearing. All affected utilities and persons owning real property within the UUD were notified in advance of the public hearing and the city’s desire to establish an UUD. Furthermore, CHMC Chapter 98-305 requires that a fixed time be detailed in the resolution for undergrounding. Based on the timeline to deliver the Auburn Boulevard Complete Streets Project – Phase 2, staff recommends requiring completion within three years and six months of establishing the district.

In consequence of the undergrounding utility work being desired by the city as part of the Auburn Boulevard project, the city voluntarily elected to fund the conversion of electrical panels on private Agenda Packet Page 155
Subject: Establishment of the Auburn Boulevard Underground Utility District Date: October 27, 2022

Page 3 of 3 ends

property from overhead to underground connections thus relieving property owners of bearing this expense as would normally be required under the municipal code.

Approval of this item will establish an UUD on Auburn Boulevard corridor between Sylvan Corners and the northern city limits as outlined in the map included in Attachment 4. The creation of the UUD will also ensure that all future public, private, and utility company projects within the UUD are prohibited from constructing overhead utility facilities.

Engineer’s Report for the Proposed
Auburn Boulevard Underground Utility District

September 28, 2022

I. I NTRODUCTION
On February 9, 2005, the City Council adopted The Boulevard Plan, a planning document to guide the revitalization and enhancement of Auburn Boulevard between Sylvan Corners and Interstate 80. The Boulevard Plan outlines, among other things, concepts, goals, and principles by which the Auburn Boulevard corridor should be updated, including undergrounding of overhead utility lines.

An underground utility district (UUD) is proposed for Auburn Boulevard between Sylvan Corners and the northern city limits in the City of Citrus Heights for the purpose of removing all existing overhead utilities of, but not limited to, Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD), Comcast, and Consolidated Communications, Inc. (CCI) within the district boundary and placing them underground. The boundary of the proposed district is shown on the attached Exhibit A. Chapter 98, Article IV of the Citrus Heights Municipal Code sets forth provisions for establishing a UUD with Section 304 identifying this Engineer’s Report as a requirement.

The Auburn Boulevard Complete Streets Project (Project) proposes to underground all existing overhead utilities within the UUD and provide underground utility service connections to all properties within the district. Furthermore, t he Project will widen sidewalks, improve storm drainage system facilities, upgrade traffic signals, provide safe bicycle facilities, and install new streetlights, replac ing existing street lights on the corridor. Existing wood utility poles within the UUD will be removed as part of the Project.

II. PHASES OF THE WORK
The proposed UUD will be completed through the following phases of work.

Auburn Boulevard Complete Streets Project – Phase 1
Following adoption of The Boulevard Plan in 2005, the city commenced Phase 1 of the Auburn Boulevard Complete Streets project bet ween Sylvan Corners and Rusch Community Park. Following years of design, utility coordination, and construction ending Agenda Packet Page 161

Page 2 ends

in 2014, all overhead utilities in this phase were undergrounded with the exception of one SMUD facility located at the intersection of Auburn Boulevard/Antelope Road, which facility is exempt due to extremely high voltage. A UUD was not established by the City Council following a study session in February 2009 in which staff indicated that the City’s capital improvement project was funding a portion of the undergrounding effort that might normally be funded by impacted property owners, and as such, creation of a UUD was not necessary. The City Council concurred with this approach at that time.

Auburn Boulevard Complete Streets Project – Phase 2
Following completion of Phase 1 construction, the city commenced preliminary design of Phase 2 of the Auburn Boulevard Complete Streets Project. Phase 2 continues the proposed roadway and utility undergrounding from Rusc h Community Park north to Whyte Avenue located in the City of Roseville, which is the northern limit for SMUD’s electrical facilities. As final engineering design and right of way acquisition are nearing completion for Phase 2, impacted utility owners now require the establishment of a UUD covering both Phases 1 and 2 of the Auburn Boulevard Complete Streets Project between Sylvan Corners and the northern city limits.

Upon approval by the City Council of a resolution to establish the UUD, the city’s design team, having previously coordinated with impacted utility providers, will finalize all utility coordination thus allowing construction drawings to be developed by the respective utility companies. The drawings will establish the proposed locations for all above or below - ground conduits, handholes, transformers, streetlights, pedestals, and any other required electrical or communications equipment. The locations for all necessary easements have been or will soon be acquired and recorded by Sacramento County for utility work on private properties for structures and conduits.

The construction for Phase 2 will consist of (a) construction of underground utilities, (b) construction of service connections for those properties that are served by the district, and (c) installation of streetlights and connections to be owned and maintained by the City of Citrus Heights.

The last step of the underground process consists of completing the final connections for the private properties to the new underground system and the removal of all existing overhead utility wires and poles within the UUD as shown on Exhibit A. The utility companies are responsible for the removal of their respective wires and poles. The city’s roadway improvements will make necessary r epairs to the city’s right -of-way infrastructure.

III. COST OF THE WORK
The city’s design team estimates the total construction costs for Phase 2, which is the remaining work to be completed, to be $30,0 00,000. This includes construction of the undergrounding utility work , associated roadway improvements, construction managements/inspection services, engineering design support, and other miscellaneous expenses.
