RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council consider and discuss the options for filling the vacant City Council District 1 seat and provide direction to staff City Clerk Van stated the item was a result of Bret Daniels’ resignation effective August 31 that created a vacancy for District 1 seat. Pursuit to California government code, it sets forth the procedures in the event of a City Council vacancy and states the City Council shall within 60 days of commencement of the vacancy either fill the vacancy by appointment or call a special election to fill the vacancy. She stated the District 1 seat is already scheduled to be filled at the November 5, 2024 General Election and therefore it is not necessary for the City Council to call a special election. The seat could remain vacant until the election and the person elected is seated. If the Council desires to fill by appointment, the individual would only hold office until December 11, 2024, at which time the successful District 1 candidate from the election would be seated.

Albert Fox spoke in support of leaving the District 1 seat vacant until the November 5, 2024 General Election.

Move to introduce for first reading, read by title only and waive the full reading of Ordinance No. 2024-___ An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights amending various sections of Chapter 106 of the Citrus Heights Municipal Code (Zoning Code Section) Community Development Director Kempenaar introduced the item.

Assistant Planner Lui explained that the General Plan acts as a guide for the City’s future development in line with goals, objectives, and policies. The Zoning Code implements the General Plan by outlining standards and uses in zoning designations, and regulates building design and other items. The Zoning Code is updated annually to address items for compliance if there are changes in the state law and with factors such as economic development or newly adopted strategic goals. The Planning Commission reviewed the Zoning Code changes on August 13 and recommended approval of the sections presented tonight. She noted the changes include adding a 10-foot setback requirement for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) balconies, and clarifying existing standards on parking. The most notable Zoning Code changes were made to the Alcohol Beverage Sales/Convenience Stores section to eliminate duplicative processes and retain the City’s discretion through the Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity (PCN) process. With the elimination of distance requirements between stores, the City is proposing operational requirements to limit establishment hours and increase security measures to all retailers selling alcohol.

RECOMMENDATION: The City Council now has the following options for consideration:

b. Discuss the proposed ordinance and if the City Council makes any substantive changes to the ordinance, conduct another first reading of Ordinance No. 2024-___ An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights Amending Chapter 50, Article III of the Citrus Heights Municipal Code Relating to Camping
Police Lieutenant Herman introduced the item as a second reading of the proposed ordinance amendment to the Camping Ordinance, Chapter 50 of the Municipal Code. He noted at the last meeting, City Council had discussion around passenger vehicles and what other rules are being enforced throughout the region. City Council took action to exclude passenger vehicles from the ordinance. Staff did additional research and brought additional information for the Council to consider tonight. The key updates include expanded definitions and camping on private property. Per the California Vehicle Code, a “passenger vehicle” is any motor vehicle, other than a motortruck, truck tractor, or a bus, and used or maintained for the transportation of persons. He stated there is not a clear-cut definition from a visual perspective for an officer to look at and immediately be able to tell whether that fits the definition of a passenger vehicle in order to exclude it. He noted the same is true for having valid license, registration, or insurance which are regulated by other code sections that require those on public roadways and not private parking. He explained most other jurisdictions around Citrus Heights are consistently enforcing no camping in vehicles and if Citrus Heights moves forward with a second reading as revised from the first reading, we would be the exception to that rule.

City Council questions and comments followed.

Police Lieutenant Herman responded to questions.

Public Comment
Louise McGuire stated most of our homeless are very hard to place and there is no housing for them.

Sally Fisher stated as time has gone on there are more homeless on the streets and housing has become more diminished. She said there is nowhere to put these folks so what they have is their car.

She said it is dangerous to be on the streets and unhoused people steal from one another. She said the beautification project is now allowing the police to confiscate what they have. She said the problem is going to get worse. She asked the City Council to consider allowing them to stay in their cars as an exception.

Alfred Sanchez gave his personal account of sleeping in his car. He stated if individuals are maintaining their registration, insurance, and the car, it shows him they are doing something more than wanting to be a vagrant and doing nothing for themselves. He requested to keep passenger vehicles in place as allowable. He stated if they are doing something wrong, there is discretion to say somebody is creating a nuisance.

Michael Lagomarsino stated the problem with allowing vehicle parking is that we would be the only city that allows it and he wonders if it opens up the door for people from all the other cities to move to Citrus Heights.

City Council questions and comments followed.

Police Chief Turcotte and Lieutenant Herman responded to questions.

City Clerk Van introduced the item. She highlighted the resolution that has been presented by the League of California Cities (Cal Cities) which calls upon the Governor and California Legislature to enact laws that ensure that what applies to one, applies to all. The resolution cites examples of rules limiting authority or regulating the conduct of local municipal officials that do not also apply to elected officials.

Staff recommends the City Council designate a voting delegate and up to two alternates to participate in the Cal Cities Annual Business Meeting and determine a City position on the resolution so the voting delegate can represent the City’s position.

City Council questions and comments followed.

ACTION: On a motion by Mayor Karpinski-Costa, seconded by Council Member Schaefer, the City Council designated Vice Mayor Lopez-Taff as the voting delegate and Mayor Karpinski-Costa and Council Member Schaefer as the two alternates to participate at the Annual Business Meeting on October 18, 2024 during the League of California Cities (Cal Cities) Annual Conference.

CITY OF CITRUS HEIGHTS

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 25, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Wesley Herman, Acting Commander
Ryan Jones, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Second Reading - Ordinance Amending Citrus Heights Code Chapter 50 – Nuisances, Article III. – Camping, Sections 50-500 to 50-508 Summary and Recommendation
On September 11, 2024, the City Council discussed the proposed ordinance, which included an amendment to Section 50-501 “Definitions” that would allow an exception for a person to sleep in a passenger vehicle. Staff presented research findings and noted that under the California Vehicle Code, the definition of 'passenger vehicles' includes motorhomes, RVs, and potentially buses, vans, and trucks with campers based on certain criteria. As was presented by staff during the Council presentation, this exception could create public confusion, as it differs from how neighboring jurisdictions enforce no camping in vehicles. Aligning with regional standards would help ensure consistent enforcement and clear public understanding.

During the meeting, instead of conducting the second reading of the ordinance, Council made a motion making substantive changes to amend Section 50-501 “Definitions” of the ordinance, removing the exception for passenger vehicles and thus conducted a new first reading of an Ordinance amending Chapter 50, Article III of the Citrus Heights Municipal Code relating to camping. Accordingly, this version is being brought back to Council for a second reading at the September 25th City Council meeting.

Staff recommends the City Council move to adopt Ordinance No. 2024-005 an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California amending Citrus Heights Municipal Code Chapter 50 – Nuisances, Article III.- Camping, Sections 50-500 to 50-508.

City Council Strategic Goal/Objective
This staff report aligns with the following Citrus Heights City Council Strategic Plan Objectives:

Goal: Preserve and enhance public safety

2 Objective: Present ordinance options to the City Council that require property owners to provide written permission to individuals that are on private properties for non-commercial activities, individuals without written permission would be subject to a citation.

Fiscal Impact
This action has no direct fiscal impact to the General Fund. However, it is expected to have a positive fiscal impact to the General Fund by the reduction in cleanup and enforcement costs by the City’s Beautification Crew and contract forces.

Background and Analysis
Over the past two years, significant progress has been made toward the Citrus Heights community's priority of improving community image, particularly through strategic goals and objectives focused on blight abatement and homelessness response and prevention. The City of Citrus Heights is dedicated to compassionately supporting unsheltered individuals and families while upholding our steadfast commitment to the health and safety of the entire community. The City's comprehensive approach combines supportive programming with law enforcement to maintain public safety. The City enforces laws related to illegal camping on public property, unlawful storage, dumping, and chronic nuisance offenses.

Unauthorized camping on private property remains a significant blight issue in the city. Over the past year, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of encampments on private land, which often lack essential services such as sanitation and waste disposal. These encampments have led to various public safety concerns, including an increase in drug use, property crimes, and other illicit activities that negatively impact the surrounding community.

Additionally, there has been a growing trend of individuals living in RVs, motorhomes, and trailers parked on private property without the owner's consent. This situation has resulted in neighborhood disturbances, safety concerns, and challenges for law enforcement in effectively protecting the rights of private property owners.

In response to these challenges, the City recognizes the need to amend its existing camping ordinance. The proposed changes aim to address these issues by implementing more stringent regulations on camping on private property, thereby protecting the community's overall quality of life and ensuring the safety and well-being of all residents.

In an effort to address unlawful camping within the City, and in light of the recent United States Supreme Court decision in Grants Pass v. Johnson (“Grants Pass”) that overturned Martin v.

Boise (“Martin”), a review and revision of the City’s existing camping ordinance is necessary.

Following the decision in Grants Pass, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-1-24 (“Order”) directing agencies and departments to adopt policies “generally consistent” with California Department of Transportation’s Maintenance Policy Directive 1001-R1 (“1001-R1”) and to “prioritize efforts” to address encampments consistent with said policy. The Order further stated that local governments are encouraged to adopt policies consistent with the Order. The Item 6 Agenda Packet Page 15

3 proposed revisions are consistent with the sections of 1001-R1 pertaining to the handling and removal of personal property, while incorporating some of the health and safety considerations to the restrictions on camping on private property. The revised ordinance does not expressly adopt all of 1001-R1.

In order to expeditiously address the health and safety hazards and other issues related to unlawful camping specific to the City, the camping ordinance and the authorities therein require expansion and further clarification. The existing camping ordinance largely has not been updated since 2008, and warrants some revisions based on changed circumstances and updates in the law. Accordingly, the proposed revisions broaden the definition of “camping” to include the use of vehicles as defined by the California Vehicle Code, provide for enforcement of the camping ordinance on private property, and distinguish the handling of abandoned and unabandoned personal property for purposes of the Fourteenth Amendment – as acknowledged as an area of concern in Grants Pass and other California cases involving the seizure and discarding of personal property within the unhoused population.

As it pertains to camping in vehicles, the existing ordinance is silent and did not contemplate the use of vehicles used for camping purposes. This proposed ordinance would squarely address camping in vehicles. As the use of vehicles and recreational vehicles within the unhoused community has greatly increased over the years since the Martin case, it is imperative that the camping ordinance be revised to address this growing trend. As such, the proposed revision expands the definition of what is considered “camping facilities” to include any vehicle, motor vehicle, or recreational vehicle, along with any other temporary shelter or movable structure used for human occupancy. Vehicular camping on private property without owner permission creates unsafe conditions, leaving behind debris, drug paraphernalia, and unsanitary waste. This situation burdens residents, property owners, and city services. Extended camping also leads to issues like power mismanagement, fire hazards, and excessive trash, posing public health risks. The proposed ordinance aims to enhance public safety and improve community image, aligning with approaches taken by other jurisdictions.

As it pertains to camping on private property, the existing ordinance is not specific as to duration of time and under what circumstances camping on private property is permitted. The proposed revisions address the ambiguities while establishing a standard of proof of authorization that gives law enforcement the investigative guidelines to swiftly address potential trespassers on private property. Furthermore, by requiring proof of express written authorization by the “record owner(s),” the proposed revision makes it more efficient for law enforcement to verify the veracity of any claim that the owner gave consent or that the person(s) camping on the property is the owner by doing a simple title search.

Lastly, the existing ordinance does not distinguish between abandoned property and unabandoned property. The Courts in Grants Pass and other California cases related to seizure of personal property from homeless encampments recognize that unhoused persons have a Constitutionally protected right under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment to not have their personal property seized and summarily discarded. Review of the relevant case law and 1001-R1 provide guidance on how to distinguish between abandoned property and unabandoned property, and the factorItem 6 Agenda Packet Page 16 Subject: Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights Amending Citrus Heights Code Chapter 50 – Nuisances, Article III. – Camping, Sections 50-500 to 50-508 Date: September 25, 2024

4 based analysis required to determine when property can be summarily discarded without running afoul of an individual’s Constitutional rights. The proposed revision to the unlawful storage provision was drafted to be consistent with the case law reviewed and 1001-R1.

The City Council’s adoption of this ordinance is not a “project” pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 210065, the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) (California Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) and State CEQA Guidelines (Section 1500 et seq., Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations), and is exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to Guidelines Sections 1561(b)(3) (because it can be seen with certainty that the adoption of this Ordinance will not have an effect on the environment) and 15321 (enforcement actions by regulatory agencies).

Item 6 Agenda Packet Page 19

106.22.010 - Purpose
106.22.020 - General Requirements for Development and New Land Uses 106.22.030 - Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements 106.22.040 - Exemptions from Planning Permit Requirements 106.22.050 - Temporary Uses
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 7 Agenda Packet Page 32
CITY OF CITRUS HEIGHTS MUNICIPAL CODE - TITLE 106 - ZONING CODE Development and Land Use Approval Requirements 106.22.030 Article 2 - Zoning Districts & Allowable Land Uses
2-6
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.

COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICTS
Sections:
106.26.010 - Purpose
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.

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.

Item 7 Agenda Packet Page 52
CITY OF CITRUS HEIGHTS MUNICIPAL CODE - TITLE 106 - ZONING CODE Special Purpose and Overlay Zoning Districts
Article 2 - Zoning Districts & Allowable Land Uses
2-26
B. Allowable land uses and planning permit requirements. Allowable land uses within each SPA district are specified by each SPA adopting ordinance.

C. Zoning district development standards. Development standards that apply in a particular SPA district are as specified by the applicable SPA adopting ordinance.

D. Required findings. The Commission may recommend the approval of a requested rezoning to apply the SPA zoning district, and the Council may approve rezoning to SPA only after first making all of the following findings, in addition to those required for a rezoning by Section 106.74.060 (Findings).

1. The project is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan;

2. The project complies with all applicable provisions of this Zoning Code other than those modified by the SPA ordinance;

3. The approved modifications to the development standards of this Zoning Code are necessary and appropriate to accommodate the superior design of the proposed project, its compatibility with adjacent land uses, and its successful mitigation of any identified environmental impacts;

4. The project complies with all applicable provisions of the City’s Design Guidelines;

5. The project can be adequately, conveniently, and reasonably served by public facilities, services, and utilities;

6. The planning concepts and design features of the project are reasonably suited to the characteristics of the site and the surrounding neighborhood;

7. The location, size, planning concepts, design features, and operating characteristics of the project are and will be compatible with the character of the site, and the land uses and development intended for the surrounding neighborhood by the General Plan;

8. The site is adequate for the project in terms of size, shape, topography, and circumstances; and

9. The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the use would not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use, or detrimental or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood or to the general welfare of the City.

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.

(2) Uses generating a high volume of traffic, and Commercial/Industrial or other uses that create heightened levels of noise, odor, or nuisance conditions for surrounding residents, are prohibited in this zone (e.g. certain retail sales; certain medical offices); c. Expansion or enlargement of non-residential uses legally in existence on or before November 13, 2005; and
d. Expansion of existing retail sales and medical offices, only if the review authority determines that the resulting traffic generation is minimal.

3. Accessory uses. The following accessory uses are permitted within the COR overlay zone:
a. All accessory uses permitted in the underlying residential zone; b. Accessory uses legally in existence on or before November 13, 2005 [the effective date of the revised Corridor overlay]; and
c. Existing residential uses shall be allowed to construct a wood fence, masonry wall or other acceptable buffering feature 10 feet back from the front property line. Landscaping shall be required in the 10- foot setback area. The design of the wall and landscaping shall comply with the traffic safety visibility area requirements of Section 106.30.060.E (Height Limits and Exceptions - Height limits at street corners). The design of the wall and landscaping shall be reviewed by the Department to ensure compatibility of design, materials, and species.

4. Prohibited uses. The following uses are prohibited within the COR overlay zone. a. Automotive uses;
b. Check cashing;
c. Eating, drinking, and lodging uses, except for bed and breakfast inns; d. Entertainment uses;
e. Food, drug, and liquor sales;
f. Kennels;
g. Liquor sales;
h. Manufacturing and processing uses;
i. Recreation equipment sales;
j. Repair services, except for small appliance and minor household equipment repair; k. Retail sales exceeding 1,000 square feet;
l. Tattoo parlors;
m. Transportation facilities and services, except for transit shelters or bus benches; n. Other uses determined by the Commission to be of a similar nature, but not specifically named in this Section.

C. Development and operating standards. Each use requiring Use Permit approval within the COR overlay zone shall comply with each of the following standards.

1. Height. Height regulations, shall be the same as otherwise provided for within the underlying residential zone.

2. Area and setback requirements. The area, lot width and yard requirements shall be the same as those of the underlying residential zone. Setbacks for rear and side yards, for any new construction, or addition to the dwelling, for purposes of housing a conditional use, shall be twice those required for residential uses.

Front yard setbacks shall be the same as those of the underlying residential zone.

3. Subdivision requirements. The intent of the COR overlay zone is to apply only to parcels fronting on a major corridor. If there is a request to subdivide a parcel within the COR overlay zone, there shall be a zone change hearing held simultaneously, to rezone the parcel no longer fronting on the major corridor, to remove the COR designation.

4. Other required conditions. Other required conditions shall be the same as those of the underlying residential zone.

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.

b. Vehicle Services- Major
c. Vehicle Service - Minor
d. Storage- Personal Storage Facility (mini-storage)
e. Ambulance, taxi, and specialized transportation and dispatch facility

2. Existing Uses. Existing uses legally in existence on or before December 1, 2022, which are prohibited by 106.28.050.B.1, may continue to operate, including transfers of ownership, provided the continuation shall comply with the requirements of Section 106.70.020 and Section 106.28.050.C.

C. Development and operating standards for prohibited use expansion. Each Prohibited Use within the SMP Overlay that seeks to expand or enlarge shall obtain a Use Permit and Design Review Permit Modification and comply with the underlying zoning requirements. Any addition, expansion or enlargement of a prohibited use shall comply with each of the following standards.

1. Driveway consolidation. Wherever possible, new uses shall provide for consolidation of driveway access through parcel consolidation or reciprocal easements. New driveways onto Greenback Lane or Sunrise Boulevard are strongly discouraged.

2. Active Transportation. Site design and layout shall prioritize circulation of active transportation modes (transit, bicycle, and pedestrian) above vehicular circulation.

3. Health Risk Assessment. Uses that result in the generation of operational air quality emissions shall complete an Air Quality Health Risk Assessment.

4. Design Standards. Any expanded use shall adhere to the applicable Design Guidelines within the Zoning Code. Any expansion shall include a comprehensive façade and site improvement for the entire impacted parcel and structure, not just the expanded area.

D. Required findings for approval. The approval of an expansion of a prohibited use allowed by Subsection B shall require that the review authority first make all of the following findings:

1. The use is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Code;

2. The use is compatible with adjacent land uses;

3. The proposed site layout and building designs are compatible with adjacent land uses;

4. The site is of an appropriate size and configuration for the new use, and is efficiently and aesthetically designed for the proposed operations;

e. Double-frontage lot. Proposed development on a double-frontage lot shall comply with the front yard setback requirements of the applicable zoning district on both street frontages.

2. Side yard setbacks. The side yard setback shall be measured at right angles from the nearest point on the side property line of the parcel to the nearest point of the wall of the structure; establishing a setback line parallel to the side property line, which extends between the front and rear yard setbacks.

3. Street side yard setbacks. The side yard on the street side of a corner parcel shall be measured from the nearest point on the side property line bounding the street, or the edge of an easement for a private road, or the inside edge of the sidewalk, whichever results in the greatest setback from the roadway.

4. Rear yard setbacks.
a. The rear yard shall be measured at right angles from the nearest point on the rear property line to the nearest line of the structure, establishing a setback line parallel to the rear property line. b. Where a parcel has no rear property line because its side property lines converge to a point, an assumed line 10 feet long within the parcel, parallel to and at a maximum distance from the front property line, shall be deemed to be the rear property line for the purpose of determining the depth of the required rear yard. See Figure 3-7.

D. Limitations on uses of setbacks.

1. Structures. A required setback shall not be occupied by structures other than:
a. The fences and walls permitted by Section 106.30.050 (Fences and Walls); b. The projections into setbacks allowed by Subsection E.; and c. Residential accessory structures as allowed by Section 106.42.200 (Residential Accessory Uses and Structures).

106.36.010 - Purpose 106.36.010
The requirements of this Chapter are intended to ensure that sufficient but not excessive off-street parking facilities are provided for all uses, and that parking facilities are properly designed, attractive, and located to be unobtrusive while meeting the needs of the specific use. The City discourages providing parking in excess of that required by this Chapter. 106.36.020 - Applicability 106.36.020
Each land use and structure shall provide off-street parking and loading areas in compliance with this Chapter. This Chapter shall also apply to changes to, or expansion of a land use or structure. A land use shall not be commenced and a structure shall not be occupied until the improvements required by this Chapter are completed and approved by the Director.
106.36.030 - General Parking Regulations 106.36.030
A. Timing of installation. A new or altered structure shall not be occupied, and a new land use not requiring a structure shall not be established, until all off-street parking and loading facilities required by this Chapter are in place and approved by the City.

B. Permanent facilities required. Each required parking and loading space shall be permanently available, marked, and maintained for parking or loading purposes for the use it is intended to serve. The approval of a Temporary Use Permit (Section 106.62.030) may allow the temporary use of a parking or loading space for other purposes.

C. Unrestricted facilities required. An owner, lessee, tenant, or other person who controls the operation of a site with required parking or loading spaces shall not prevent, prohibit, or restrict authorized persons from using the spaces without the prior approval of the Director.

D. Truck or Trailer Parking. The parking of a motor vehicle used for commercial or industrial purposes and rated more than one (1) ton capacity and trailers used for commercial or industrial purposes shall not be parked or stored in any residential zone except when loading, unloading, or rendering service.

E. State-mandated exemptions. Per Government Code 65863.2, parking is not required for any residential, commercial, or other development project within ½ mile of public transit (see Section 106.80.020 for definition of “public transit”). These rules do not apply to requirements for ADA parking spaces, EV charging spaces, or existing grandfathered contracts with the city to provide public parking.

F. Residential Parking and Storage. No front or street side setback shall be used for the accumulation, placement or storage of automobiles, other motor vehicles, recreational vehicles, trailers, building materials, scrap, junk or machinery except as allowed in Section 106.30.100 (D)2). 106.36.040 - Number of Parking Spaces Required 106.36.040 Each land use shall be provided the number of off-street parking spaces required by this Section. See Section 106.36.060 for off-street parking requirements for bicycles and motorcycles.

A. Parking requirements by land use.

1. Minimum number required. Each land use shall provide the number of off-street parking spaces required by Table 3-7, except where a greater number of spaces are required through Minor Use Permit or Use Permit approval. Regardless of the requirements of Table 3-7, each non-residential land use shall provide a minimum of five off-street spaces, except where the review authority determines that the number of spaces required by Table 3-7 is sufficient.

2. Use not listed. A land use not specifically listed by Table 3-7 shall provide parking as required by the Director. The Director shall use the requirements in Table 3-7 as a guide in determining the number of offstreet parking spaces required.

3. Measurement of floor area. In any case where Table 3-7 establishes a parking requirement based on floor area in square feet (for example: 1 space per 1,000 sf of floor area), the floor area shall be construed to mean gross interior floor area.

4. Use with accessory components. The review authority may require a single use with accessory components to provide parking for each component, where the review authority determines that separate vehicle trips will likely be generated by each component. For example, a hotel with a meeting room may be required to provide the parking spaces required by Table 3-7 for a hotel (i.e., the guest rooms), and for a meeting room.

5. Bench or bleacher seating. Where fixed seating is provided as benches, bleachers, pews, or similar seating, a seat shall be defined as 24 inches of bench space for the purpose of calculating the number of required parking spaces as provided in Table 3-7.

B. Expansion of structure, change in use. When a structure is enlarged, or when a change in its use requires more off-street parking than the previous use, additional parking spaces shall be provided in compliance with this Chapter except where the number of additional spaces required is 10 percent or less of the number of existing spaces. See also Subsection E. (Nonconforming parking).

C. Multi-tenant sites. A site with multiple tenants shall provide the aggregate number of parking spaces required for each separate use; except where the site is developed as an integrated center with shared parking and no spaces reserved for a particular use, parking shall be provided as required by Table 3-7 for a retail complex. When a multitenant center includes one or more uses that will need more parking than retail uses (for example, a fitness center, restaurant, or theater) additional parking shall be required for the high parking demand use unless a parking reduction is approved in compliance with 106.36.070 (Reduction of Parking Requirements).

D. Excessive parking. The City discourages providing more off-street parking than required by this Chapter, to avoid the inefficient use of land, unnecessary pavement, and excessive storm water runoff from paved surfaces. An offstreet parking lot that exceeds the amount required by Table 3-7 by 20 percent or more shall require Minor Use Permit approval, a determination by the review authority that information provided by the applicant documents a year round need for the additional parking, and the provision of additional landscaping and pedestrian amenities to the satisfaction of the review authority.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 25, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
Ashley J. Feeney, City Manager
FROM: Amy Van, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Conflict of Interest Code Biennial Update
Summary and Recommendation
The Political Reform Act requires every local government agency to review its conflict of interest code biennially to determine if it is accurate or if the code must be amended. Staff has determined amendments to the City’s Conflict of Interest Code are necessary to account for the addition, deletion, and modification of positions listed as “designated employees”.

Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-___ a resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, adopting an amended Conflict of Interest Code and a list of designated positions.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.

Background and Analysis
The Political Reform Act (the “Act”), Government Code Sections 81000, et seq., requires every state and local government agency to adopt a conflict of interest code, which establishes substantive requirements for the disclosure of financial interests and disqualification of City employees and other officials from participation in decisions in which they might have a private, financial interest. The Act also requires the City Council to review the provisions of the City’s code biennially to determine if revisions are required to update the code. The City Council last updated the code in September 2022, and since that time, certain positions have been removed, added or changed. Therefore, the Appendix of Designated Positions needs to be updated.

The Appendix lists those positions within the City involved in making, or participation in making, a governmental decision that may affect the financial interest of the employee. In addition, certain consultants to the City must also disclose their financial interests because they Item 8 Agenda Packet Page 96
Subject: Conflict of Interest Code Biennial Update
Date: September 25, 2024

Page 2 of 2 ends

Printed on Recycled Paper
make or participate in making governmental decisions on behalf of the local agency. The “Designated Employees” make these disclosures on a form known as “Statement of Economic Interests Form 700”.

For the Council’s information, the list of designated positions excludes council members, planning commissioners, the city manager, the finance director, and the city attorney. These positions are not listed in the local code because they are already required by state law (Government Code Section 87200) to disclose their financial interests.

The Act identifies four basic types of financial interests that are subject to reporting by designated employees: (1) investments, (2) business positions, (3) sources of income and (4) real property interests. Under the Act, the City’s Conflict of Interest Code must require designated employees to report those financial interests that may foreseeably be affected materially by any decision made or participated in by the designated employee by virtue of his or her position. The disclosure categories accomplish this requirement by matching the employee positions with the types of reportable financial interests that may be affected by the performance of the employee’s duties. The City’s Conflict of Interest Code has four disclosure categories:

Disclosure Category 1. Full Disclosure. Designated employees in Category 1 are required to provide the fullest disclosure including investments, interests in real property, sources of income, and reporting of business positions.

Disclosure Category 2. Limited Disclosure – Purchasing. Designated employees in Category 2 are required to report investments, business positions and sources of income from sources that provide the type of goods and services utilized by the City. Disclosure under this category is limited in scope to cover those designated employees who make or participate in making decisions pertaining to purchase contracts.

Disclosure Category 3. Limited Disclosure – Real Property. Designated employees in Category 3 are required to report investments, business positions and sources of income, and interests in real property located in the City. Disclosure under this category is limited in scope to cover those designated employees who make or participate in making decisions pertaining to land development, construction or the acquisition or sale of real property.

Disclosure Category 4. Limited Disclosure – Regulatory. Designated employees in Category 4 are required to report investments, business positions, and sources of income which are subject to the regulatory, permit or licensing authority of the City.

With the amendments to the list of designated positions, the City’s Conflict of Interest Code accurately reflects positions that may make or participate in making governmental decisions for the City.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 25, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
Ashley J. Feeney, City Manager
FROM: Regina Cave, General Services Director
Leslie Blomquist, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Update to On-Call Professional Engineering Services Including Federal Aid Projects, Approval of Amendment to Professional Engineering Service Agreements
Summary and Recommendation
Currently, the General Services Department (GSD) utilizes on-call municipal engineering contracts to provide engineering support on an as-needed basis. This includes supplemental staff services, engineering design services, inspection of encroachments and development related projects, as well as construction management and other general engineering tasks.

In order to continue to deliver on all projects as listed in the City Council adopted Capital Improvement Program (CIP), as well as with other GSD related tasks and duties including but not limited to project management, general engineering support, capital project design, construction management, and inspection services, the City Council approved contract awards in January 2024 with multiple firms that resulted from a Caltrans guided solicitation process that allows for assistance on federally-funded projects.

The number of CIP projects currently underway along with the need for staff augmentation necessitates additional funding to be allocated to the on-call contracts.

Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-___, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Amendments to Agreements with Coastland Civil Engineering, Inc., Ghirardelli & Associates, Inc. and UNICO Engineering, Inc. to Provide On-Call Professional Engineering Services Including Federal Aid Projects.

City Council Strategic Goal/Objective

Printed on Recycled Paper
Fiscal Impact
The recommended contract amendments will have no impact on the general fund budget. Costs related to the proposed changes are included in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP).

The total combined contracts’ value per year is updated to reflect a not to exceed amount of $1,500,000. This allows the City to assign task orders to contracts based on City needs for staff augmentation support.

All time and material costs associated with each contract shall be funded with existing salary savings due to staff vacancies within the engineering division or funded from already approved budgets and funding sources.

Background and Analysis
Currently, the General Services Department utilizes on-call municipal engineering contracts to provide engineering and inspection support on an as-needed basis. This includes supplemental staff services, engineering design services, inspection of encroachments and development related projects, as well as construction management and other general engineering tasks and project management. In January 2024 the City Council authorized agreements with multiple firms, as on-call contracts, which included capacity to work on federally funded projects, as needed, and structured to be consistent with Caltrans guidance.

In order to continue to deliver on all projects as listed in the City Council adopted CIP, as well as to maintain eligibility for support on federally-funded grant projects, it is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to amend agreements with the originally approved firms to increase the amount of the contracts as needed based on staffing augmentation needs.

The proposed resolution to amend the contracts will allow this flexibility to continue and ensure the City is able to deliver City priority projects.

FROM: Regina Cave, General Service Director

Daniel Kehrer, Senior Civil Engineer
SUBJECT: 2024 Bridge Maintenance Project
Authorize Additional Work – City Project 21-09
Summary and Recommendation
On June 27, 2024, the City Council approved a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with Coastline Water Resources Inc. (Coastline) for the 2024 Bridge Maintenance Project (Project). Since the final design was completed and construction contract awarded, additional debris has accumulated under the bridges, and the City has received additional Bridge Reports from Caltrans detailing new bridges that require maintenance treatments. Therefore, additional work is recommended as part of this Project to address these two items.

Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-_____ A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Authorizing the City Manager to execute Change Orders up to 46% of the original contract amount with Coastline Water Resources, Inc. for the 2024 Bridge Maintenance Project and increasing the total authorized construction budget to $1,087,345.

City Council Strategic Goal/Objective
This item aligns with the Citrus Heights City Council Strategic Plan Objective to “Maintain Public Infrastructure and Enhance All Modes of Transportation.” Fiscal Impact
The Contractor’s bid for the Project was $748,700.50 and was based on quantities that were measured during design in September 2022. Since that time, additional work has been identified and is estimated to cost an additional $226,339.00. In addition, there is still a need for Item 10 Agenda Packet Page 107

Background and Analysis
The City of Citrus Heights owns and maintains 31 structures on the National Bridge Inventory, which are regularly inspected by Caltrans Structure Maintenance Division. The City periodically receives bridge inspection reports from Caltrans which include work recommendations and/or required improvements to ensure the structure is safe and compliant with the national standards for public structures.

A large portion of the routine maintenance items included in the Caltrans inspections are completed by City staff and/or on-call contractors, when feasible. However, some repairs identified require additional equipment, expertise and/or permitting requirements beyond the scope of routine maintenance activities. Such activities include removing and clearing debris and sediment in creeks, repair slope/footing protections, applying bridge deck treatment, railing repairs and other minor concrete repairs.

On August 1, 2024, the City received an updated Bridge Report for Bridge No. 24C0455, located on Bridgemont Way, requiring the application of a bridge deck treatment. In addition, additional material has been observed at several other prescribed bridge locations. The additional work to Item 10 Agenda Packet Page 108
Subject: 2024 Bridge Maintenance Project – Authorize Additional Work Date: September 25, 2024

Page 3 of 3 ends

Printed on Recycled Paper
treat the deck and remove the additional debris that has accumulated under the bridges will eventually exceed the current City Council allocated amount for the Project. Staff reviewed the recommendation and determined that no additional environmental permitting or design would be required to perform the work at a previously authorized work area.

Quantity changes are not unusual for a construction project, especially within a dynamic environment of creek beds and natural areas. Routine maintenance of bridges and culverts include removal of debris/silt in order to maintain the opening for water flow and to maintain the roadway elevation above the creek when the structure was originally designed. Over the course of one wet season the debris/silt within the structures is now estimated to be nearly double what was originally estimated. The increase is attributable to the presence of silt over time causing a change in creek profile, which induces additional deposits as the water ponds and flows over the top of previous sediment deposits.

Adding this additional work to the existing project would save the City costs associated with additional design, environmental clearance, permitting, scheduling, bidding efforts and construction price increases.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 25, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
Ashley J. Feeney, City Manager
FROM: Casey Kempenaar, Community Development Director
Alex Turcotte, Chief of Police
Alison Bermudez, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: Zoning Code Update - Recycling Center (Small Collection Facilities Update)
Summary and Recommendation
Over the last several years, the City Council has spent considerable effort towards strategic goals related to public safety and enhancing community vibrancy. Numerous actions to address blight, homelessness, and community appearance have been enacted, including:
- Development and Operation of the Beautification Crew
- Development and Operation of the Chronic Nuisance Offender program - Proactive Code Enforcement
- Citrus Heights Cares Campaign
- Adoption and Implementation of the Shopping Cart Ordinance Despite significant improvements along these fronts, blight and similar impacts associated with the City’s four existing recycling centers continues to detract from the City’s broader Strategic Goals. In order to address these concerns, the City Council adopted the following Strategic Objective:

In response to ongoing blight and illicit behavior associated with recycling centers, assess regulatory options to address negative impacts. Present options to City Council.

Recycling Centers (Recycling - Small Collection Facility) are regulated by the Zoning Code and allowed in most commercial zones with a Minor Use Permit. As detailed later in this report, City Staff conducted analysis and performed observations of the existing centers and found that despite operational standards regulating Recycling Centers contained in the Zoning Code intended to ensure these centers are well maintained and operated, regular complaints and concerns continue to arise from the four existing facilities. As a result of the analysis and observations described later Item 11 Agenda Packet Page 111

in this report, staff recommends restricting any further expansion of recycling centers as an allowed use in the City.

Staff presented the proposed restrictions to recycling centers in addition to several other minor amendments to the Zoning Code to the Planning Commission on August 13, 2024. While the Planning Commission supported majority of the proposed amendments (parking, alcohol, ADUs, etc.), there was not unanimous support to restrict additional recycling centers. Therefore, the proposed amendment regarding recycling was removed from the package of proposed Zoning Code changes to allow for separate discussion and action.

The proposed Zoning Code amendment as presented to the Planning Commission would remove recycling centers as an allowed use city-wide, prohibiting new centers to open in the City. The four existing centers would be permitted to remain in operation indefinitely. Although the Planning Commission acknowledged the challenges associated with recycling centers, they voiced concern with the ability for the four existing recycling centers to adapt over time as technology and legal requirements evolve.

Based upon the discussion and concerns expressed by the Planning Commission, staff has included recommended language for the City Council that would address this concern and would allow the four existing centers to modify and improve should new technologies, legal requirements or operational procedures become available.

The following motions are recommended:

Motion 1: Move to determine the proposed amendments are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines; and Motion 2: Move to introduce for first reading, read by title only and waive the full reading of Ordinance 2024- _____, as shown in Attachment 1, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights amending Sections 106.26.030 and 106.42.190 of the Citrus Heights Municipal Code (Zoning Code Section) related to Recycling Centers as shown in Exhibit A.

City Council Strategic Goal/Objective
This staff report supports strategies which align with the following Citrus Heights City Council Strategic Objectives:

Goal: Enhance Community Vibrancy and Engagement
Objective: In response to ongoing blight and illicit behavior associated with recycling centers, assess regulatory options to address negative impacts. Present options to City Council.

Fiscal Impact
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this action. As a result of proposed restrictions, the City may become ineligible for existing or future Cal-Recycle Grant funds. The City historically applies for Cal-Recycle funds for a variety of programs, typically these grants can range between $20,000 and $40,000 annually.

Background
In 1986, the State passed the California Beverage Container and Litter Reduction Act (Act). The Act established a process in which consumers paid a deposit on certain beverage containers. This deposit, known as California Redemption Value (CRV), is paid by consumers at the checkout stand and paid back to consumers when they recycle eligible aluminum, plastic, glass and bi-metal beverage containers at certified recycling centers. These certified recycling centers are referred to as small collection facilities within the City’s Zoning Code.

Additionally, the Act established convenience zones for recycling beverage containers throughout the state. A convenience zone is an area within a half mile radius of a retailer with gross annual sales of at least $2 million. Under the Act, the State’s goal is to provide a recycling center within every convenience zone. If this requirement is not met, then all retailers (e.g. grocers, drug stores, liquor stores, etc.) that sell CRV products within that zone must redeem the containers on their premises. Therefore, small recycling centers can play an important role in the recycling process not only for the consumer but for retailers as well.

While these centers are important, they have also created concerns within the community due to their operation and appearance.

Strategic Goal and Objective
Over the past few years, the City Council has adopted several Strategic Goals that focused on reducing blight. Significant efforts have been made through the creation of the City’s Beautification Team, whose focus is to clean up sidewalks and other public spaces. Other efforts included the adoption of a Shopping Cart Ordinance, which provides a regulatory framework to address carts removed from their place of business and abandoned throughout the City.

While these efforts have been effective, concerns remain of blight associated with small recycling centers. While center operators employ efforts to maintain their spaces, observations have shown the areas surrounding the centers are littered with abandoned shopping carts, have increased calls for services in the vicinity and other blight inducing activities.

As part of the staff analysis conducted to support the City Council’s strategic objective, staff felt it important to conduct observations to evaluate the challenges actually occurring at the centers and in their proximity. To this end, 24-hour video surveillance was installed at each of the four existing recycling sites for a week in July 2024. These recordings provided an understanding of operations, customer counts, modes of transportation used to arrive at the center as well as a good understanding of their overall operation and cleanliness. Some of the observations included:

• Centers were busier than expected- Centers saw an average of 10-15 customers per hour • Although centers comply with prohibition against taking recycling from shopping carts, shopping carts are often used to transport recycling goods near the facility and often abandoned a short distance away.
• Loitering activity was often present adjacent to the centers • Many customers were families
• Sites were kept clean but visually unattractive due to the nature of the operations • Parking at the smaller sites was a potential traffic safety issue • Each morning customers were waiting for the centers to open • Certain centers had a higher percentage of non-vehicle arriving customers (shopping carts, bikes, etc.)
Although recycling centers provide a convenient option to consumers to redeem CRV, the associated blight and nuisances associated with the existing centers cause an extensive resource drain for City services. Based upon observations and in effort to continue to reduce blight and to revitalize commercial corridors, staff recommended a Zoning Code Amendment to remove recycling centers as an allowable use within City of Citrus Heights. The amendment would allow the four existing centers to remain operational and continue to serve the community.

The staff recommendation to limit recycling centers to the four existing is based on the following key themes:

1. The City has more existing recycling centers per capita than nearly every other City in the region. The City of Sacramento and County of Sacramento are the only agencies with more centers per capita (See Table 1, below). Neither Folsom nor Rocklin have any existing recycling centers.

Table 1 – Regional Per Capita Recycling Centers
Jurisdiction Licensed Centers Centers per Capita
County of Sacramento 8 1 per 12,566
City of Sacramento 28 1 per 18,857
Citrus Heights 4 1 per 21,608
Lincoln 2 1 per 26,267
Elk Grove 6 1 per 29,593
Roseville 5 1 per 30,963
Rancho Cordova 2 1 per 40,300
Folsom 0 0 per 83,269
Rocklin 0 0 per 73,857
TOTAL 51

2. Although, existing operators generally adhere to the City’s operating standards, the perception of blight associated with site appearance and abandoned shopping carts continues to impact perceptions of the City as a whole along key corridors.
