3. Common challenges affiliated with Recycling Centers including shopping carts and loitering are unlikely to improve based on technology available at this time. Although new technologies such as bag drop and reverse vending show some promise for convenience, ancillary challenges such as loitering, abandoned shopping carts, plastic bag and other debris, and overall appearance are likely to become more acute problems because many new technologies reduce or eliminate the need for ongoing staff presence to monitor automated locations.
August 13th Planning Commission Meeting
In support of the Council’s Strategic Objective, staff presented the proposed amendment to the Planning Commission on August 13, 2024. The proposed revision would allow the four existing centers to remain in operation but would not permit any additional centers.
Staff presented information on recycling centers, including observations from video surveillance at each center as well as the overall benefits and concerns with the operations. Members of the public spoke at the meeting, including one of the existing center operators. The operator presented an overview of their operation (Lichen Drive) and shared that they recently had their busiest month since opening in 2017, collecting over 1.1 million recyclable containers in July 2024.
The operator spoke about the number of state grants they have applied for and received two grants to support opening new locations as a different model than the traditional container in the parking lot. They provided photos of a soon to be open indoor location in Fair Oaks and discussed a most recent grant award which would allow for an additional location in Citrus Heights using the unmanned bag drop system (See Attachment 2).
The Commission considered staff’s comments and comments received from the public.
Ultimately, the removal of recycling centers as an allowed use from the Zoning Code was not supported by a split vote (4-3 vote). The Commission’s main concern was that if the existing centers become non-conforming, they would not have the ability to improve or modify operations should new technologies or business models become available.
To address those concerns, staff has modified the proposal to clarify that should one of the existing centers propose improvements or operational changes, the Director would have the ability to review and approve those changes without modification to their Minor Use Permit (Attachment 1A). Any proposed modification would be reviewed by the Planning Division and Police Department to ensure any modification would improve operations and appearance of the associated center.
Existing Center Outreach
Citrus Heights has four recycling centers: Lichen Drive, Greenback Lane, Auburn Boulevard, and Sunrise Vista (See Attachment 4). As part of the work plan to evaluate options to address ongoing challenges with the four centers, staff met with each of the four operators to discuss the ongoing blight associated with the centers.
Item 11 Agenda Packet Page 115
Subject: Zoning Code Updates – Recycling Centers
Date: September 25, 2024
Printed on Recycled Paper
The operators were receptive to improving operations and reducing any visual impacts. One issue raised has been the number of shopping carts in the surrounding areas of the centers. While each location does not accept recycling materials from a cart, carts continue to be abandoned in the vicinity of centers contributing to feelings of blight. In addition, loitering before stores open and after recyclables are processed continue to be a challenge.
In response to ongoing concerns, the operators each agreed to extend the area beyond their lease area and capture trash and any stray carts. This requirement will be included as conditions on Business License renewals for each existing center.
Recycling Centers are currently prohibited in both the Stock Ranch Guide for Development and Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan. Currently Recycling Centers are permitted in the Auburn Boulevard Plan with a Use Permit. If the Council moves forward with staff’s recommendation, staff will also bring forward a subsequent Boulevard Plan Amendment clarifying that Recycling Centers are not permitted along the Auburn Boulevard corridor for the City Council’s consideration.
Alternatives/Options
These centers provide community benefits by allowing consumers to recoup the deposits paid on beverage containers at the point of sale, reduce items going to the landfill, and support an environmentally responsible community. However, blight continues to occur associated with existing centers. The City Council has discretion on how to address these issues. Staff’s recommendation is to continue to support the elimination of recycling centers from the land use table but include a provision where the Director could approve a new location should alternative technologies be proposed that move toward solutions to ongoing blight for existing centers.
Environmental Review
This project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b) (3)) in that adoption of the proposed Ordinance will not result in any impacts on the physical environment; and under the general rule that the proposed amendments to the Municipal Code do not have the potential to have a significant effect on the environment.

106.22.010 - Purpose 106.22.010
This Chapter describes the City’s requirements for the approval of proposed development and new land uses. The permit requirements established by this Zoning Code for specific land uses are in Chapters 106.24 through 106.30. 106.22.020 - General Requirements for Development and New Land Uses 106.22.020 Each land use and/or structure shall be established, constructed, reconstructed, altered, moved or replaced in compliance with the following requirements.
A. Allowable use. The land use must be allowed by this Zoning Code in the zoning district applied to the site. The basis for determining whether a use is allowable is described in Section 106.22.030 (Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements).
B. Permit and approval requirements. Any planning permit or other approval required by Section 106.22.030 (Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements) shall be obtained before the issuance of any required grading, building, or other construction permit, and before the proposed use is constructed, otherwise established or put into operation, unless the proposed use is listed in Section 106.22.040 (Exemptions from Planning Permit Requirements).
C. Development standards, conditions of approval. Each land use and structure shall comply with the development standards of this Chapter, the provisions of Article 3 (Site Planning and Project Design Standards), and any applicable conditions imposed by a previously granted planning permit.
D. Legal parcel. The site of a proposed development or new land use shall be a parcel that was legally created in compliance with the Subdivision Map Act and the City’s subdivision ordinances. 106.22.030 - Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements 106.22.030 A. Allowable land uses. The uses of land allowed by this Zoning Code in each zoning district are listed in Chapters 106.24,Table 2-2, and 106.26, Table 2-5, together with the type of planning permit required for each use. Each land use listed in Tables 2-2 and 2-5 is defined in Article 8 (Glossary).
1. Establishment of an allowable use.
a. Any one or more land uses identified by Tables 2-2 and 2-5 as being allowable within a specific zoning district may be established on any parcel within that zoning district, subject to the planning permit requirements of Subsection B., and compliance with all applicable requirements of this Zoning Code.
b. Where a single parcel is proposed for development with two or more of the land uses listed in the tables, the overall project shall be subject to the highest permit level required by Subsection B. for any individual use. For example, a new building proposed in the BP zoning district with a health club Item 11 Agenda Packet Page 123

on the ground floor and professional offices on the second floor would require Use Permit (UP) approval because Table 2-5 requires Use Permit approval for "fitness/health facility," even though an "Office" is listed in the BP zone as a permitted use, requiring only a Zoning Clearance.
2. Use not listed.
a. A land use that is not listed in Tables 2-2 or 2-5, and is determined by the Director to not be included in Article 8 (Glossary) under the definition of a listed land use is not allowed within the City, except as otherwise provided by Subsection A.3, or Section 106.22.040 (Exemptions from Planning Permit Requirements).
b. A land use that is not listed in the tables within a particular zoning district is not allowed within that zoning district, except as otherwise provided in Subsection A.3, or Section 106.22.040 (Exemptions from Planning Permit Requirements).
3. Similar and compatible use may be allowed. The Director may determine that a proposed use not listed in this Article is allowable as follows:
a. Required findings. The Director may determine that a proposed use is similar to and compatible with a listed use and may be allowed only after first making all of the following findings:
(1) The characteristics of, and activities associated with, the use are similar to one or more of the listed uses and will not involve a greater intensity than the uses listed in the applicable zoning district;
(2) The use will be consistent with the purposes of the applicable zoning district; (3) The use will be consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan; (4) The use will be compatible with the other uses allowed in the district; and (5) The use is not listed as allowable in another zoning district.
A determination that a use qualifies as a "similar use" and the findings supporting the determination shall be in writing.
b. Applicable standards and permit requirements. When the Director determines that a proposed, but unlisted, use is similar to a listed use, the proposed use will be treated in the same manner as the listed use in determining where it is allowed, what permits are required, and what other standards and requirements of this Zoning Code apply.
c. Referral for determination. The Director may refer the question of whether a proposed use qualifies as a similar and compatible use directly to the Commission for a determination at a public meeting. d. Appeal. A determination of similar and compatible use may be appealed in compliance with Chapter 106.72 (Appeals).
B. Permit requirements. Tables 2-2 and 2-5 within Chapters 106.24 and 106.26 provide for land uses that are:
1. Permitted subject to compliance with all applicable provisions of this Zoning Code, subject to first obtaining a Zoning Clearance (Section 106.62.020). These are shown as "P" uses in the tables;
2. Allowed subject to the approval of a Minor Use Permit (Section 106.62.050), and shown as "MUP" uses in the tables;

Notes:
(1) A condominium, townhouse, small lot housing product development or common interest project may be subdivided with smaller parcels for ownership purposes, with the minimum lot area determined through subdivision review, provided that the overall development site complies with the minimum parcel size, and the total number of any dwellings is in compliance with the maximum density for the applicable zone.
(2) Minimum parcel size requirements for lot types not listed shall be determined by the review authority in the subdivision process.
(3) Net area is the gross area of the parcel, subtracting any existing or proposed access easements within the parcel, but including drainage and public utility easements. 106.24.050 - Residential and Open Space District Residential Density Standards 106.24.050 Each residential development shall not exceed the following maximum residential density (number of dwelling units per acre) requirement for the applicable zoning district, except in compliance with Chapter 106.32 (Affordable Housing Requirements and Incentives).
A. RD districts.
1. Maximum density - All RD districts. For a subdivision of five lots or more, the maximum allowable residential density shall be as identified for the applicable residential zoning district on the Zoning Map by the numerical suffix to the "RD" zoning symbol, which expresses the maximum allowable number of dwelling units per gross acre. For example, RD-1 allows a maximum of one dwelling per acre, RD-15 allows a maximum of 15 dwellings per acre, etc. This requirement does not apply to a proposed subdivision of four or fewer lots.
2. Maximum density - RD-1 through RD-4. No more than one detached single family dwelling is allowed on a single parcel in the RD-1, 2, 3, and 4 zones, provided that an accessory dwelling unit may also be allowed in compliance with Section 106.42.015 (Accessory Dwelling Units).
3. Minimum density - RD-20 and above. Within the RD-20 and higher density zoning districts, each proposed residential development shall provide a minimum of 50 percent of the maximum density of the applicable zoning district. For example, a project in the RD-20 zone shall provide a minimum density of 10 units per acre. This standard shall not apply to parcels under 2 acres in net area prior to subdivision.
B. MH district.
1. The maximum allowable residential density within the MH zoning district is established for mobile home parks by Section 106.42.140 (Mobile Homes and Mobile Home Parks).
2. The maximum residential density for residential uses other than a mobile home park is one dwelling unit per parcel.
C. O district. The maximum allowable residential density within the O zoning district is one dwelling unit per parcel.

106.26.020 - Purposes of Commercial and Industrial Zoning Districts 106.26.030 - Commercial and Industrial District Land Uses and Permit Requirements 106.26.040 - Commercial and Industrial District General Development Standards 106.26.010 - Purpose 106.26.010
This Chapter lists the land uses that may be allowed within the commercial and industrial zoning districts established by Section 106.20.020 (Zoning Map and Zoning Districts), determines the type of planning permit/approval required for each use, and provides basic standards for site layout and building size. 106.26.020 - Purposes of Commercial and Industrial Zoning Districts 106.26.020 The purposes of the individual commercial and industrial zoning districts and the manner in which they are applied are as follows.
A. BP (Business and Professional Office) district. The BP zoning district is applied to areas appropriate for various types of office uses, together with similar and related compatible uses. Multi-unit housing and mixed-use projects may be allowed. The BP zoning district is consistent with and implements the Business Professional land use designation of the General Plan.
B. LC (Limited Commercial) district. The LC zoning district is applied to areas appropriate for a mixture of land uses, with primarily small-scale retail and pedestrian-oriented office uses on the ground floors of commercial structures, and residential units allowed on upper floors. The LC zoning district is consistent with and implements the General Commercial land use designation of the General Plan.
C. SC (Shopping Center) district. The SC zoning district is applied to areas appropriate for a wide range of retail and service land uses, promoting the unified grouping of these uses with convenient off-street parking and loading.
Residential uses may also be accommodated as part of mixed use projects. Projects within this zone are intended to be designed to be an integral part of the surrounding neighborhood, and the larger community. The SC zoning district is consistent with the General Commercial land use designation of the General Plan.
D. GC (General Commercial) district. The GC zoning district is applied to areas appropriate for the general commercial and heavier types of commercial uses that would not be appropriate in the more restrictive commercial zones. Multi-unit housing and mixed-use projects may be allowed. The GC zoning district is consistent with the General Commercial land use designation of the General Plan.
E. AC (Auto Commercial) district. The AC zoning district is applied to areas appropriate for providing automotive sales and services, and compatible related uses. The zone is intended to promote the unified grouping of autooriented uses in locations where they will be convenient to the community. The AC zoning district is consistent with the General Commercial land use designation of the General Plan.
F. CR (Commercial Recreation). The CR zoning district is applied to areas for commercial uses normally considered to be recreation oriented and for commercial uses associated with major recreation areas. The CR zoning district is consistent with and implements the open space land use designation of the General Plan.

Article 2 - Zoning Districts & Allowable Land Uses
2-18
G. MP (Industrial/Office Park) district. The MP zoning district is applied to areas appropriate for light industrial and business park land uses, including low-intensity manufacturing and assembly processes, research and development, and corporate headquarters offices. The land uses allowed and development standards required within the MP district are intended to protect adjacent areas from impacts while allowing indoor, clean, and quiet industry. Land uses in the MP zoning district are expected to be organized as a business park, with tenants that may include some commercial activities. The MP zoning district is consistent with and implements the Industrial land use designation of the General Plan.
106.26.030 - Commercial and Industrial District Land Uses and Permit Requirements 106.26.030 A. General permit requirements. Table 2-5 identifies the uses of land allowed by this Zoning Code in each commercial and industrial zoning district, and the planning permit required to establish each use, in compliance with Section 106.22.030 (Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements).
B. Permit requirements for certain specific land uses. Where the last column in Table 2-5 ("Specific Use Regulations") includes a section number, the referenced section determines whether the use requires a Zoning Clearance, Minor Use Permit, or Use Permit. The referenced section may also establish other requirements and standards applicable to the use.
C. Permit requirements based on scale of use. Where Table 2-5 identifies a use with an "S" and the last column in the table refers to this Subsection, the use is permitted with a Zoning Clearance if it is a building tenant that will occupy 15 percent or less of the total building floor area. Minor Use Permit approval is required when the use occupies more than 15 percent of the total floor area.

SPECIAL PURPOSE AND OVERLAY ZONING DISTRICTS
Sections:
106.28.010 - Purpose
106.28.020 - Applicability of Overlay Zoning Districts
106.28.030 - Special Planning Area (SPA) Zoning District 106.28.040 - Corridor Overlay Zoning District
106.28.010 - Purpose 106.28.010
The provisions of this Chapter regulate development and new land uses in the special purpose and overlay zoning districts established by Section 106.20.020 (Zoning Map and Zoning Districts), and provide guidance for development within the overlay zoning districts in the form of standards that apply to proposed development in addition to the standards and regulations of the primary zoning district, where important site, environmental, safety, compatibility, or design issues require particular attention in project planning.
106.28.020 - Applicability of Overlay Zoning Districts 106.28.020 The provisions of this Chapter apply to proposed land uses and development in addition to all other applicable requirements of this Zoning Code. Any perceived conflict between the provisions of this Chapter and any other provision of this Zoning Code shall be resolved in compliance with Chapter 106.12 (Interpretation of Zoning Code Provisions).
A. Mapping of overlay districts. The applicability of any overlay zoning district to a specific site is shown by the overlay Zoning Map symbol established by Section 106.20.020 (Zoning Map and Zoning Districts), being appended as a suffix to the symbol for the primary zoning district on the Zoning Map. The overlay districts are applied to property through the rezoning process (Chapter 106.74).
B. Allowed land uses, permit requirements, development standards. Except as may be otherwise provided by this Chapter for a specific overlay district:
1. Any land use normally allowed in the primary zoning district by this Article may be allowed within an overlay district, subject to any additional requirements of the overlay district;
2. Development and new land uses within an overlay district shall obtain the zoning approvals required by this Article for the primary zoning district; and
3. Development and new land uses within an overlay district shall comply with all applicable development standards of the primary zoning district, all other applicable provisions of this Zoning Code (e.g., Article 3 - Site Planning and Project Design Standards), and the City’s Design Guidelines. 106.28.030 - Special Planning Area (SPA) Zoning District 106.28.030 A. Purpose. The SPA zoning district is intended to provide for flexibility in the application of Zoning Code standards to proposed development under limited and unique circumstances. The purpose is to allow consideration of innovation in site planning and other aspects of project design, and more effective design responses to site features, uses on adjoining properties, and environmental impacts than the Zoning Code standards would produce without adjustment. The City expects each project within a Special Planning Area to be of obvious, significantly higher quality than would be achieved through conventional design practices and standards.

106.28.040 - Corridor (COR) Overlay Zoning District 106.28.040 A. Purpose. Portions of some major transportation corridors, where residential development fronts directly onto the street, have been identified in the General Plan as "transitional." These are areas that present special challenges for continued single-family residential uses, and where certain "light" ("low-impact" and/or "low intensity") commercial uses and a mixture of residential and light commercial uses are appropriate.
1. The Corridor (COR) overlay zone is to be applied in conjunction with a residential zoning district to expand on the uses and standards of that zoning district. The purpose of the COR overlay is to allow existing residential uses to continue, but also to allow a mix of new residential, business service, and professional office uses that are compatible with existing single-family residential uses in identified transition areas along major transportation corridors. This overlay zone is not intended to accommodate citywide demand for office space, most of which is better met in other "traditional" office and commercial zones, nor is the purpose to allow or foster strip-commercial / retail uses.
2. The COR overlay zone is intended to accomplish the following:
a. Allow compatible use conversions that extend the economic life of the existing residential structures; b. Allow owners to justify expenditures for repairs and modernization of their residential structures; c. Create both a buffer, and a true transition, between pure residential uses and major transportation corridors;
d. Allow for the conversion of existing structures, creating economic advantages for new users; e. Allow properties to take advantage of easy access onto major streets; f. Allow properties to take advantage of visibility from major streets; and g. Develop well designed and aesthetically pleasing mixed uses.
B. Allowable land uses and permit requirements.
1. Permitted uses. The following uses are permitted within the COR overlay zone:
a. All uses listed by Article 2 (Zoning Districts and Allowable Land Uses) as permitted in the applicable residential zone, including home occupations; and
b. Non-residential uses legally in existence on or before November 13, 2005.
2. Conditional uses. The following uses are allowed within the COR overlay zone subject to Use Permit approval (Section 106.62.050).
a. All conditional uses permitted in the underlying residential zone; b. New non-residential uses that meet the development and operating standards in Subsection C., and are consistent with the purposes in Subsection A.
(1) Examples of the type of uses that would be consistent in this overlay zone include various business and professional offices including those for insurance, real estate, law, photography, and advertising.

106.28.050 – Sunrise MarketPlace (SMP) Overlay Zoning District6.28.040 A. Purpose. The Sunrise MarketPlace is home to the majority of the City’s shopping, dining, and 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.
1. The SMP Overlay zone is to be applied in conjunction with existing zoning districts to restrict certain uses within the Overlay Zone. The purpose of the overlay is to allow existing uses to continue, but also to ensure redevelopment of key locations within the district are supportive of City goals related to redevelopment of the Sunrise MarketPlace, walkability/bikeability goals, and transit use.
2. The SMP Overlay zone is intended to accomplish the following:
a. Allow compatible use conversions that extend the economic life of the existing structures; b. Allow owners to pursue redevelopment opportunities that are supportive of broader City goals; c. Create an environment that discourages cut-through traffic and encourages walking, biking, and transit;
d. Allow for the conversion of existing structures, creating economic advantages for new users; e. Control vehicular access onto major streets;
f. Allow properties to take advantage of visibility from major streets; and g. Develop well designed and aesthetically pleasing mixed uses.

Citrus Heights Planning Commission

Citrus Heights, CA 95621
RE: Proposed Restriction of New Recycling Centers – OPPOSE Dear Chair Price,
We understand that Citrus Heights may be contemplating policies to restrict the siting of additional State Certified CRV Recycling Centers. We believe that any restriction of new CRV recycling centers while Citrus Heights is currently out of compliance with the Convenience Zone requirements of State Law would represent a disservice to consumers, a violation of Statutory intent, and jeopardize tens of thousands of dollars in current and future State Recycling Funding to Citrus Heights.
According to the California Department of Resource Recovery and Recycling (CalRecycle), there are 12 legally defined convenience zones in Citrus Heights. As a result of ‘overlap,’ 9 of those zones are currently ‘served’ by 4 certified centers. There are currently three ‘unserved’ zones defined by the Walmart on Auburn Boulevard, the Costco on Auburn Boulevard, and the Food Maxx on Sunrise Boulevard. Additionally, there are two ‘dealers’ within the unserved ‘Food Maxx zone’. All five of these Citrus Heights businesses have a legal obligation to either:
contract with a Recycling Service Provider, redeem containers inside the store, or pay a $100/day penalty. And while many Walmarts and Costcos across the state opt to pay the $100/day, that option goes away effective January 1. No later than January 1, 2025, Citrus Heights will require three new certified redemption centers.
Beyond the legal ‘convenience zone’ obligation, the residents of Citrus Heights deserve convenient opportunities to redeem empty beverage containers. Statewide, 70 percent of empty beverage containers are returned for recycling. Last year 265,000 tons of empty beverage containers were littered or landfilled, and $424 million in consumer refund values went ‘unredeemed’. Despite near universal access to curbside recycling in California, 83% of current recycling takes place at redemption centers—and less than 14% are collected via curbside.
And in Sacramento County, CalRecycle reports just 58% of CRV containers are returned for recycling! There is currently just one certified redemption center per 21,608 population in Citrus Heights. CalRecycle data demonstrates that community recycling rates are well correlated to redemption centers per capita. For example, in Fresno County, with one center per 18,000 population, the CRV recycling rate is nearly 85%.
If nothing else, you might consider financial self-interest. Section 14501 (e) of the Public Resources Code reads:
Item 11 Agenda Packet Page 163
“It is the intent of the Legislature to make redemption and recycling convenient to consumers, and the Legislature hereby urges cities and counties, when exercising their zoning authority, to act favorably on the siting of multimaterial recycling centers, reverse vending machines, mobile recycling units, or other types of recycling opportunities, as necessary for consumer convenience, and the overall success of litter abatement and beverage container recycling in the state.”
As an incentive, State law authorizes CalRecycle to annually expend $10.5 million to local governments and $15 million to operators of curbside recycling programs as ‘supplemental payments.’ CalRecycle may reduce or suspend these annual payments to jurisdictions and/or programs that are found to be out of compliance with the provisions of the Beverage Container Recycling Act.
On behalf of consumers in Citrus Heights, beverage dealers, and the objectives of the Beverage Container Recycling Act, we encourage staff, the Planning Commission and City Council to work with local recyclers, retailers and other stakeholders to support and sustain standards for redemption centers that best serve the community, rather restricting recycling locations in compliance with state law and community waste reduction and recycling objectives.
If we can be of assistance in supporting these objectives, I hope you and your staff will reach out.
Sincerely,
Mark Murray

Task 4.2 Drainage/Stormwater Documentation
CONSULTANT will conduct a drainage investigation to determine the existing drainage patterns and storm drain facilities in the project area, including existing channels/ditches, pipe/culvert locations, sizes, local rainfall intensities, and flows. This information will be obtained through a combination of field reconnaissance, City staff, and as-built records. After reviewing the existing drainage conditions, on- and off-site hydrologic and hydraulic analyses will be conducted for the existing and post-project condition, emphasizing the primary objective of maintaining existing flow patterns and runoff amounts.
The on-site analyses will include identifying where new facilities are needed and where existing facilities can be reused, developing drainage boundaries for the areas within the project limits, developing flows for each facility based on City hydrology standards, and identifying where new/retrofitted storm drain facilities are needed. A comparison of existing versus proposed peak flows will also be performed and will become the basis of any retention considerations. Upon review of the project site, CONSULTANT does not anticipate the need for an off-site analysis as cross drainage facilities will not be significantly impacted.
The hydraulic calculations for the facilities needed to convey on-site drainage along the project alignment could include ditches, inlets, culverts, and storm drains. The hydraulic analysis of any existing storm drain system will rely on existing characteristics being provided by the owning/maintaining agency, including physical attributes, off-site flows, and hydraulic grade lines/tail water elevations.
A Draft Drainage Report for the project will be prepared to document the hydrologic and hydraulic analysis and will provide a detailed discussion of the following: existing conditions and facilities in the project area, the on-site hydrologic analyses, existing and postproject drainage patterns, flood conditions, results of the on-site hydraulic analyses and any issues of special concern or significance.
The draft report will be submitted to the City for review during the 65% submittal. Comments will be addressed, and a final report will be submitted with the 95% package.
Based on the requirements of the City’s MS4 permit, CONSULTANT will identify appropriate treatment Best Management Practices (BMPs) for the project site.

Item 12 Agenda Packet Page 174
Dokken will use the preliminary results of this analysis to optimize the selected structure design such that upstream and downstream impacts are reduced and/or eliminated as needed to satisfy State, local and/or Federal requirements.
As part of this task, Dokken will also perform a scour analysis based on the methodology specified in FHWA’s HEC-18 and HEC-23 Manuals and in-situ soil information provided by Geocon. The scour evaluation will consider pier (if multi-span), abutment, and contraction scour. The potential for aggradation or degradation will also be evaluated based on a review of any recent survey data together with historic data collected from USGS quadrangles. Based on the results of the analysis, Dokken will work with the geotechnical and bridge engineers to evaluate the need for countermeasures for bridge local scour and long-term stream instability.
Dokken will summarize the results of the hydraulic and scour analyses in a Draft Hydraulic Design Report. The report will be submitted to the City for review and comment. During the final design phase, comments on the draft report will be addressed and a final hydraulics run for the bridge structure will be performed, incorporating any design changes made since completion of the draft report.
The Hydraulic Design Report will then be updated and finalized.
Deliverable: Hydraulic Design Report (Draft and Final)
Task 4.4 Traffic Operations Analysis

• 72-hour roadway segment vehicle classification counts on Old Auburn Road and Wachtel Way. • Midweek AM (7:00 to 9:00 AM) and PM (3:00 to 6:00 PM) peak period traffic counts (including vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians) at the following intersections:
1. Old Auburn Road / Argo Drive
2. Old Auburn Road / Oakwood Hills Circle W
3. Old Auburn Road / Wachtel Way
4. Old Auburn Road / Oakwood Hills Circle E / Linda Creek Ct • Individual police collision records within the last five years on the two study segments for purposes of developing the corridors’ collision histories and profiles (obtained from the City). • Existing roadway geometrics, traffic controls, and length of queues on Old Auburn Road and Wachtel Way approaching the pair of all-way stop intersections.
• An engineering speed survey and collision data within past five years for 1,000-foot segment of Old Auburn Road from City Limits to Lund Drive (from City of Roseville). If not available, CONSULTANT will retain a count vendor to perform such survey. • Existing bicycle, pedestrian, and transit facilities, collected through peak period field observations and available plans. • Existing/planned traffic controls, lane configurations, posted speed limits, crosswalks, and other relevant information at study intersections, provided by the City.
CONSULTANT will analyze the study intersections during the existing AM and PM peak hours under existing conditions using a SimTraffic microsimulation model. The model will be calibrated to match the observed queue lengths in the corridor. Specific analysis methods (e.g., peak hour factor) will be based on the City’s updated Traffic Impact Study (TIS) guidelines. The results will be consistent with methods described in the latest edition of the Highway Capacity Manual. Model outputs will include average delay by movement and overall, and maximum queue length.
CONSULTANT will prepare exhibits to document peak hour traffic volumes, existing bicycle/pedestrian facilities, and existing transit routes and facilities in the study area.
CONSULTANT will summarize the last five years of collision data in the study corridor, showing most common collision types, primary collision factors, CVC violation, involvement of bicycles/pedestrians, weather and lighting conditions, and collision severity. A heat map will also be prepared to show the collision history in a graphical manner.
Fehr & Peers will prepare Technical Memo #1: Existing Conditions (including collision data analysis). This memo will be submitted for review and comment by the project team. The final memo will incorporate comments provided on the draft memo. The memos will include figures, tables, and data in technical appendices.
Deliverable: Technical Memorandum #1 (Draft and Final)
Item 12 Agenda Packet Page 175
Task 4.4.2 Intersection Control Evaluation
The RFP identifies the potential for roundabouts or traffic signals at the two all-way stop intersections and also cites the need for some type of pedestrian crossing with enhanced safety countermeasures on Old Auburn Road at Argo Drive. To this end, CONSULTANT will support the project team in developing two (2) project build alternatives.
To accomplish this, CONSULTANT will perform a focused Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) similar to what Caltrans requires at state highway intersections. The ICE evaluation will determine whether there are fatal flaws with one particular traffic control or another at each intersection and will also inform what lane configurations should be included in the build alternative designs. The ICE evaluation will utilize a set of future year traffic forecasts and more simplistic analysis tools (compared to micro-simulation) such as Vistro and Synchro software, and peak hour signal warrant analysis.
Note that the City of Citrus Heights General Plan projected a modest 16% growth in corridor from 2010 to 2030. That forecast was based on a regional travel demand model. Since this corridor directly connects to the City of Roseville street system, Fehr & Peers will review the growth projected along it from the City of Roseville 2035 model, which was calibrated to 2019 conditions and includes street connections in Citrus Heights. The ICE Evaluation and final analysis of the project alternatives will be based on a set of design year traffic forecasts (to be reviewed and approved by City staff prior to use).
Fehr & Peers will prepare Technical Memo #2: Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE). This memo will be submitted for review and comment by the project team. The final memo will incorporate comments provided on the draft memo. The memos will include figures, tables, and data in technical appendices.
Deliverable: Technical Memorandum #2 (Draft and Final)
Task 4.4.3 Project Alternatives Analysis and Recommendations CONSULTANT will perform a quantitative analysis of the No Build Alternative and Two Build Alternatives. Outputs will include average delay, level of service (LOS), and maximum queue length. Videos of the micro-simulation model showing traffic flow will be made for the site’s website, workshops, and public hearings. This task also includes time for CONSULTANT complete street/active transportation experts, design engineers, and traffic engineers to provide inputs on various design elements related to bikeway configurations and connections, traffic signal design components, roundabout elements and dimensions, truck swept path analysis (performed in AutoTurn), and similar considerations.
For each build alternative, CONSULTANT will identify a comprehensive set of strategies to address identified collision patterns and profiles in the study area. Those elements (many of which are derived from the FHWA countermeasure toolbox) will be identified for consideration as part of the build alternative. Additionally, CONSULTANT staff will make recommendations for safety countermeasures that may be needed and easily implemented before the corridor-wide improvements are made. These could include sign additions or replacements, minor curb work, speed feedback signs, etc. CONSULTANT will also consult the City’s Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) to identify whether any collision patterns were identified in this area and recommendations made.
Several types of pedestrian crossings could be considered on Old Auburn Road at Argo Drive. CONSULTANT has recently updated its Crosswalk+ tool to reflect the most recent guidance provided by FHWA. In addition to using Crosswalk+, CONSULTANT will consult the City of Sacramento’s comprehensive pedestrian crossing guidance and treatments to understand what recommendations would come from their standards. CONSULTANT will prepare Technical Memo #3: Project Alternatives Analysis and Recommendations.
The memo will be submitted for review and comment by the project team. The final memo will incorporate comments provided on the draft memo. The memo will include figures, tables, and data in technical appendices.
Deliverables: Technical Memorandum #3 (Draft and Final) Task 4.5 Utility Identification
CONSULTANT will perform a utility search for affected utilities in the project area, including a review of the utility work compiled to date. The search will include a verification field review and review of available as-builts for the project area.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 25, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
Ashley J. Feeney, City Manager
FROM: Alexander Turcotte, Police Chief
Regina Cave, General Service Director
SUBJECT: Beautification Crew Program – Efforts and Outcomes Summary and Recommendation
In response to City Council and the greater community’s priorities to improve the appearance and safety of our public rights of way and enhance the quality of life for our residents and businesses, the City launched the Beautification Crew to help address blight and other contributing factors. The Beautification Crew (BC) has been in place for nearly 22 months with many accomplishments to date, helping to support the City’s goals and objectives. The following report provides additional background and analysis on the BC’s progress and impact on the City’s operations, as well as other city services and programs that support the success of the BC program.
This report is for informational purposes only with no recommended action.
City Council Strategic Goal/Objective
This item aligns with the Citrus Heights City Council Strategic Plan Objective to “Enhance Community Vibrancy and Engagement”.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item. In June 2022, City Council authorized the implementation of the BC program, which allocated $875,000 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to fund the program from July 2022 through December 2026. An action item will likely come before Council in the future to recommend the program be made permanent to ensure services are maintained.
Background and Analysis
Beginning in the early years of incorporation, the General Services Department (GSD) maintained contract services to assist with general maintenance and blight within the public Item 13 Agenda Packet Page 192
Subject: Beautification Crew Program – Efforts and Outcomes Date: September 25, 2024
Printed on Recycled Paper
rights of way along creek and drainage facilities as well as within our transportation network.
These programs were funded through non-general fund sources - Stormwater Utility for drainage facilities, and Gas Tax funds for transportation facilities. In 2011, the contract to support roadway areas was eliminated due to funding constraints and other transportation-related priorities. The services that had been supported by this contract included debris and illegal dump and trash removal, weed abatement, removal of illegal signs (e.g., yard sales), assisting with minor pothole patching, and general transportation support. Over the years, and prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, the city began experiencing an uptick in undesirable blight-related activity on both public and private properties, such as an increase in graffiti, illegal dumping, stray shopping carts, and illegal camps. Through the efforts of staff’s Focus Area Work Plan and Council’s Strategic Goal prioritization, the BC was created. The intent of the BC was to ensure focused, efficient services that could operate independently, as well as in coordination with other city-services to ensure compliance, such as code violation and chronic nuisance offender support.
In June 2022, City Council authorized the implementation of the BC program, which consisted of hiring a team of two staff members for field response, as well as procuring equipment and tools necessary to perform the intended work. In July 2022, staff launched a recruitment, procured a stake bed truck, and began developing a campaign to help market the program and inspire the community to get engaged and be a part of the program. Utilizing and expanding upon existing resources, staff developed a system for recording and tracking all service requests (SRs) related to blight abatement that would fall under the responsibility of the BC. By December of 2022, the City’s BC program was up and running with two new team members and a branded truck. That same month, staff began tracking the BC’s progress through SRs by various call-type categories, as well as tracking tonnage of materials retrieved and disposed of by the BC on a weekly basis. The following tables provide data on SR intake and tonnage of debris removed by the BC:

To increase reporting options for the public, staff worked with SeeClickFix (SCF) to develop a convenient means of communicating blight related SRs directly to GSD. This tool has allowed rapid reporting as well as immediate response to the reporting party acknowledging receipt of the complaint, and further allowing the community to track progress of items reported through SCF.
In addition to the SCF, staff worked to deliver a real time map accessible on the City’s website that reflects service requests related to the BC’s operations as well as other top reported categories (i.e., streetlights out). This map allows the community to see the status of the various service requests logged, including what has been closed out and what is pending.
The following table shows the volume of SCF related service requests since inception of the BC program:

To put into context how vital the BC program is to the operations of the General Services Department and to the community, it is important to compare activities and volume of similar service requests prior to the deployment of the BC.

A critical component of the BC is the collaboration with the Police Department (CHPD). While the BC is designed to operate independently and often without assistance, there are situations that require the support and partnership with CHPD to help ensure the safety of our residents as well as our staff. Beginning May 2023, the BC began working with PD’s Impact Team for coordinated efforts related to illegal camps as well as enforcement of the City’s shopping cart ordinance. In February 2024, this partnership increased to daily efforts with a set schedule to help ensure rapid response and maintain regular visibility around key areas of the city. With this model, the Police Department has been able to address various trespassing and illegal camping violations as well as initiate the Chronic Nuisance Offender program to hold individuals accountable for repeat offenses that put a drain on critical resources and adversely impact the community. The following table summarizes key successes of the Impact Teams accomplishments in collaboration with the BC:

In addition to the partnership with the CHPD, the BC has expanded its collaboration with external agency partners, such as Caltrans to address blight and maintenance of the Antelope Road I-80 interchange. These efforts have drastically improved the safety and appearance of the Caltrans owned facilities, which have a direct impact on the adjacent businesses and their patrons. Through this partnership, the City has been able to address blight quickly and expedite Item 13 Agenda Packet Page 195
Subject: Beautification Crew Program – Efforts and Outcomes Date: September 25, 2024
Printed on Recycled Paper
coordinated remediation with Caltrans for their respective areas of responsibility. The BC has and continues to work closely with our Sunrise Recreation and Park District (SRPD) and Sacramento County Library partners to combine resources for addressing blight along joint boundary properties, and ensuring coordinated messaging on key blight issues.
The progress of the BC, both as a crew and when looking at the overall Beautification program attributes much of its successful to the Cares Campaign. The purpose of the campaign is multipronged and intended to garner support and involvement from the public. The active participation by the community is instrumental in ensuring expedient response to requests for service to help minimize sprawl of blight and encourage property owners to also be a part of the beautification efforts by maintaining their properties as well. Through the Cares Campaign’s various communications in print, marketing and via social media, the program has been able to expand its reach throughout the community to garner greater participation in reporting, maintaining and chipping in.
