Printed on Recycled Paper
Natalie Price, on behalf of REACH, recognized the nominees for Good Neighbor Week 2024. The names of all 11 nominees are listed at CHGoodNeighbor.com. She announced the top three nominations:

Jeanette Salas, Kathy Morris, and Sue Yackey. She invited the City Council to the podium to announce the winner, Sue Yackey.

Rachel Hartin, staff member and dance teacher at Royal Stage, thanked the City Council for the grant disbursements they have received this year and let them know the money was put to great use. They were able to hold several community talent shows, produce seven full length musical theater productions, and host a summer camp. She stated one concern they have is the ability to properly heat and cool their facility due to the high cost of replacing the HVAC system which will cost $20,000. She also stated their lease in the Sunrise Mall is up in April. They would be grateful for any feedback or ideas regarding the issue. She also invited the City Council to upcoming events.

Melissa Hayden expressed her frustration with staff and lack of Trap Neuter and Release (TNR) in the City. She stated we need communication between our Animal Services and between our community so we can get those rescues, so we can get those vets, so we can make this a better place overall for our community. She stated how bad she wants the shelter, but does not want the shelter to be a failure. She wants the shelter to be successful by having TNR done ahead of time.

Deborah Bueti stated there are people who give their time, money, and effort dealing with homeless and at-risk cat populations. She asked why can’t Citrus Heights find vets that will work pro bono, and why can’t we move money from some place towards getting us clinics to spay and neuter? She said she knows we can make it happen.

City Manager Feeney addressed public comments. He stated the Animals Services team has worked diligently to improve service, including seven day a week coverage, transferring sheltering services to the Bradshaw Animal Shelter facility, and continuing to look at service enhancements. He said we are still studying tthe topic to see what more can be done. As City Manager, if there is something a member of the public would like to speak to him about, his door is always open to them.

11. SUBJECT: Resolutions Approving the Measure A Sacramento Countywide Transportation Mitigation Fee Program Nexus Study and Amended Agreement on Operating Protocols STAFF REPORT: R. Cave
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommend the following:

a. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-108 A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Approving the 2024 Sacramento Countywide Transportation Mitigation Fee Program Nexus Study;

b. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-109 A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Approving the Amended Agreement on Operating Protocols for the Sacramento Countywide Transportation Mitigation Fee Program; and

General Services Director Cave stated the item is a continuation from last month’s opening of the public hearing that was continued from a previous meeting. The Sacramento Transportation Authority (STA) is the administrator of Measure A, half-cent sales tax collected throughout the region, and as part of the renewal in 2009 it also included an Ordinance for the Sacramento Countywide Transportation Mitigation Fee Program (SCTMFP) as a revenue source to help fund the capital program identified in the measure.

The updated Nexus Study for the program was approved in 2024 and all the cities that are recipients of the Measure A revenues are required to adopt the Ordinance and impose the impact fees and remit them to the STA for distribution. The City benefits greatly from Measure A and receives about $3.4 million a year in funding for capital projects.

City Council comments and questions followed.

General Services Director Cave responded to questions.

Mayor Karpinski-Costa closed the public hearing.

MEMORANDUM

DATE: December 11, 2024

TO: Mayor and City Council Members
Ashley J. Feeney, City Manager

FROM: Susan Talwar, Administrative Services Director
Alberto Preciado, Finance Manager

SUBJECT: Annual AB 1600 Development Fee Report

Summary and Recommendation

AB 1600 requires the City to prepare an annual report that reviews the status of the development impact fees collected.

Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-___, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Accepting, Filing, and Making the Findings Identified in the City’s Annual AB 1600 Fee Report for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2024.

City Council Strategic Goal

This item aligns with the Citrus Heights City Council Strategic Plan Objective to “Maintain and Enhance Fiscal Stability.”

Fiscal Impact

This is an informational item and there is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Background and Analysis

By state law, the City is authorized to collect development impact fees from new development to fund public improvements and services to support the new development. The City of Citrus Heights collects development impact fees for roadway and transit improvements (now referred to as Multimodal), affordable housing, park facilities , and fire capital fees to cover the cost of new developments. In accordance with the provisions of California Government Code Section 66001 (AB 1600), the C ity is required to prepare an annual report that reviews the status of the development fees collected. Specifically, the annual report must include:

ITEM 9
Agenda Packet Page 16
• A description of the development fee
• Fee schedule
• Amount of fees collected, interest earned, funds spent, and remaining balance • Estimated timeline for expending funds if sufficient funding has been collected for an identified project

State law also requires the City spend or commit the development impact fees within five years of collection or adopt a resolution stating there remains a reasonable relationship between the current need for the development fees and the purpose for which the development fees were originally proposed.

The total balance of City’s development impact fees was $1,228,577 as of June 30, 2024.

Impact Fee Balance as of 6/30/2024
Affordable Housing Impact Fee $406,017 *
Multimodal Impact Fee $68,460**
Park Facilities Impact Fee $62,676
Fire Capital Facilities Impact Fee $35,035 ^
Roadway Impact Fee $448,847 **
Transit Impact Fee $207,542 **

* $327,170 of this amount has been held in excess of five years. It is anticipated that these funds will be used for costs associated with the Sayonara Drive Redevelopment Project and may be used for affordable housing rehabilitation projects.

** The balances for Roadway and Transit Impact Fees could not be combined with the Multimodal and the funds would be spent prior to using the Multimodal Impact Fee dollars.

It is anticipated these dollars will be utilized for Capital Improvement Program projects.

^ 100% of the Fire Capital Facilities Impact fees collected by the City of Citrus Heights are forwarded to Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District per City Ordinance 2022- 006, City Resolution 2022- 073 and agreement between the City of Citrus Heights and the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District regarding Collections of Capital Fire Facilities Impact Fees for New Construction and Development.

Attached to this staff report is information on each of the C ity’s four development impact fees including the current fee and description of the basis for the fee; revenue collected, expenditures and fund balance for each of the past five fiscal years; description of projects funded with the development impact fees; and findings regarding the expenditure of the remaining available funds.

If the Tree City USA designation is awarded, no additional funding will be required ITEM 10
Agenda Packet Page 27
beyond the installation of the foundation’s provided “Tree City USA” signage and the planting/planning of an annual Arbor Day event.

Background and Analysis

The City of Citrus Heights maintains approximately 22,000 trees along public streets and roadways and Sunrise Recreation and Park District maintains more than 5,500 trees within its parks. The City’s tree composition includes over 175 unique species with Valley Oak being the most prevalent species. Both the City and the park district work hard to protect the community’s urban forest, and staff would like to ensure these efforts continue and are recognized.

If awarded, this will be the sixth consecutive year the City has been recognized as a Tree City USA. The City first received the recognition in 2018 and annual recertification is required.

To qualify for Tree City USA designation, the City must meet four standards established by the Arbor Day Foundation and the National Association of State Foresters. These standards were established to ensure that every qualifying community would have a viable tree management plan and ongoing program. Below is a list of the four required standards and a recap of how the City has met the standard:

1) Observance of an annual Arbor Day – A tree planting event and an Arbor Day Recognition was held at a community event on October 12, 2024. 2) Expenditures of at least $2.00 per capita on tree-related programs – Both the City’s budget and Sunrise Recreation and Park District’s budget were reviewed and a total which exceeds $794,000 in tree related expenditures are budgeted. This exceeds the minimum standard of $2 per capita by more than $7 with a per capita expenditure of $9.08.
3) A Street Tree Ordinance – The City manages its public tree canopy through a Street Tree Ordinance which was adopted in 2018.
4) A Tree Department – The City’s General Services Department serves this role.

A designation of the City of Citrus Heights to be a Tree City USA community will:

• Encourage better care of our urban forest;
• Touch the lives of people within the community who benefit daily from cleaner air, shadier streets, and aesthetic beauty that healthy, well-managed urban forests provide; • Increase public awareness of the many social, economic and environmental benefits an urban forest provides;
• Provide education to improve current urban forestry practices; • Help present the kind of image that most citizens want to have for the place they live or conduct business;
• Inform visitors, through signage, that here is a community that cares about its environment;
• Provide a way to reach large numbers of people with information about tree care; and • Contribute to our community pride.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

MEMORANDUM

DATE: December 11, 2024

TO: Mayor and City Council Members
Ashley J. Feeney, City Manager

FROM: Casey Kempenaar, Community Development Director
Nicole Piva, Housing and Human Services Program Coordinator

SUBJECT: Updated Housing Rehabilitation Program Guidelines

Summary and Recommendation

On October 23, 2024, City staff provided the Citrus Heights City Council with an update on the City’s Housing Rehabilitation Program. As part of the update, the City Council directed City staff to use CalHome funds to assist single-family income-eligible homeowners with health and safety-related home repairs. The background materials associated with this item are contained in the October 23, 2024, City Council Meeting Staff Report , available on the City’s website.

CalHome funds are State of California grant funds issued by Housing and Community Development (HCD). In 2003, 2008, and 2015, the City applied for and received CalHome grant funding for owner-occupied housing rehabilitation or downpayment assistance programs. City staff reconciled its CalHome Reuse account; the balance is $673,003. Per the CalHome Program Guidelines, these funds are to be used as a deferred loan, funds may not be used as a grant.

CalHome funds are governed by CalHome Program Guidelines that establish terms, conditions, and procedures for the disbursement of funds allocated to the CalHome program.

While the CalHome guidelines stipulate much of how the program can operate, during the October 23 City Council meeting the Council provided directions on key areas. Therefore, City staff updated the Housing Rehabilitation Program Guidelines to reflect the Council’s direction.

ITEM 11
Agenda Packet Page 31

City Council Strategic Goal/Objective

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

Goal: Enhance Community Vibrancy and Engagement

Objective: Provide an update on the City’s various Rehabilitation Programs and seek direction from the City Council.

Fiscal Impact

There is no direct impact on the City’s General Fund. Funds used for the Housing Rehabilitation Program allow the City to be reimbursed for all direct costs, including employing an outside consultant to manage the program.

Background and Analysis

The City of Citrus Heights has operated a Housing Rehabilitation Program since 2000. The City of Citrus Heights Housing Rehabilitation Program uses Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, CalHome funds, and loan repayments.

The City of Citrus Heights Housing Rehabilitation Program is intended to:
• Preserve and enhance the existing housing stock;
• Further neighborhood conservation efforts; and
• Provide a method by which very low-, low-, and moderate-income homeowners can improve their homes.

The Housing and Grants Division within the Community Development Department is responsible for the administration, monitoring, and implementation of the City’s Federal, State, and local housing and community development funds. While the City oversees the administration of the program, the City contracts with a consultant to perform the delivery of the housing repair programs. These duties include applicant intake, income verification, underwriting, and construction oversight functions.

The Guidelines outline eligibility criteria for the various programs the City offers; such as single- family home repair loans, critical home repair grants, and accessibility grants. The Guidelines are designed to ensure efficiency while supporting the City’s goals of improving the quality of life for residents. The guidelines detail how homeowners can apply for health and safety improvements, types of eligible repairs, the application process and required documentation, program terms, and oversight functions.

ITEM 11
Agenda Packet Page 32

Updated Housing Rehabilitation Program Guidelines

Below are the Guideline parameters for CalHome funds for homeowners applying for a single- family loan as directed by the City Council on October 23, 2024. These parameters are reflected in the Housing Rehabilitation Program Guidelines in Attachment 1.

• Eligible households at or below 80 percent Area Medium Income (AMI). Federal and State housing programs set income limits for eligibility. CalHome funds are State funds by Housing and Community Development (HCD) which publishes annual income limits .
• Deferred, 30-year loan. As a deferred loan, the City does not receive payment until a 30- year term that allows maximum flexibility for the participant and aligns with most common terms within the mortgage industry.
• Interest Rate: 2% simple annual interest rate. As a deferred loan, interest is not due until the home is sold, transferred, refinanced, or no longer eligible. This typically results in the loan being paid off by equity earned during the term of the loan. By charging interest, the City would see the program grow incrementally as loans are paid, eventually leading to increased capacity of the program.

Next Steps

City staff will release a Request for Proposals for a rehabilitation consultant to assist City staff in administering the Housing Rehabilitation Program and work off the City’s existing waitlist. As funding becomes available, loans and/or grants are processed on a first-come, first-served basis.

The City maintains a waitlist for the program and will process applicants first from the existing list. Any applicants who do not wish to pursue a loan but would like to wait for any possible grant-funded programs will remain on the waitlist. The City’s current wait has an estimated 70 single-family homeowners.

CITY OF CITRUS HEIGHTS

Adopted by City Council on December 11, 2024
ITEM 11
Agenda Packet Page 34
City of Citrus Heights
Housing Rehabilitation Program Guidelines

The City of Citrus Heights Housing Rehabilitation Program uses primarily Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program funds, CalHOME funds, and loan repayments designed to correct health and safety-related repairs and extend the useful life of the City’s housing stock. These Guidelines outline various financing methods used to achieve needed repairs to eligible Citrus Heights residents.

1. GOALS/OBJECTIVES

The City of Citrus Heights Housing Rehabilitation Program (Program) is intended to:

1. Preserve and enhance the existing housing stock.

2. Further neighborhood conservation efforts.

3. Provide a method by which very low-, low-, and moderate-income homeowners can improve their homes.

Accordingly, the City’s Program offers low-interest deferred loans, critical repair grants, handicapped accessibility grants, relocation grants, and lead hazard evaluation and abatement grants to eligible homeowners with varying housing repair needs.

2. PROGRAM OUTREACH AND MARKETING

All outreach efforts will follow state and federal fair lending regulations to assure nondiscriminatory treatment, outreach, and access to the Program. No person shall, on the grounds of age, ancestry, color, creed, physical or mental disability or handicap, marital or familial status, medical condition, national origin, race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation, be excluded, denied benefits or subjected to discrimination under the Program. The city/program operator will ensure that all persons, including those qualified individuals with handicaps, have access to the Program.

1. The Fair Housing Lender and Accessibility logos will be placed on all outreach materials. Fair housing marketing actions will be based upon a characteristic analysis comparison (census data may be used) of the Program’s eligible area compared to the ethnicity of the population served by the Program (including, separately, all applications given out and those receiving assistance) and an explanation of any underserved segments of the population.

ITEM 11
Agenda Packet Page 35
This information is used to show that protected classes (age, gender, ethnicity, race, and disability) are not being excluded from the Program. A Fair Housing Marketing Plan will be reviewed annually.

Outreach materials in English and any other language that is the primary language of a significant portion of the area residents (outlined in the City’s Citizen Participation Plan) will be widely distributed.

2. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits the exclusion of an otherwise qualified individual, solely because of disability, from participation under any program receiving Federal funds. The city/program operator will take appropriate steps to ensure effective communication with disabled housing applicants, residents, and members of the public.

3. Individuals who believe they have been discriminated against in a housing-related issue should contact the Renters Helpline. The Renters Helpline provides telephone counseling and mediation services for residents in a housing crisis or dispute. The program counselors deal directly with concerns regarding landlord-tenant disputes and help refer housing issues to the appropriate agency. • Phone: 916-389-7877 or 800-500-4931
• TTY: 7-1-1 and ask to be connected to the Renters Helpline • Website: Renters Helpline

3. PROPERTY ELIGIBILITY

1. Eligibility property types:
a. Single-family housing
b. Half-plexes (must be legally separate from adjoining structure(s) c. Condominiums
d. Mobile/manufactured homes, defined below which are secured to real property or located on land that is leased (CDBG funded)

2. The property shall be owner-occupied and located within the incorporated limits of the City of Citrus Heights. All persons listed on the property title must occupy the home.

3. The property needs repairs to correct health and safety hazards to allow continued safe occupancy of the home.

ITEM 11
Agenda Packet Page 36

4. Under CalHOME, eligible properties must consist of owner-occupied single-family residential dwelling units that provide complete independent living facilities, including permanent provisions for living, sleeping, cooking, eating, and sanitation. The applicant shall have ownership of and sole responsibility for any system or structure repaired or replaced under the program. Recreational vehicles (RVs), trailers, and/or other vehicles, as well as camping facilities or any other temporary structure used for residential purposes, whether legally or not, are not eligible for assistance under this program.

5. Under CalHOME, mobile and manufactured homes are not eligible for assistance under this program. The complexity of loan security, asset valuation, land ownership, and the meager availability of subsidy funding for this type of effort along with other considerations make the administration of such a program problematic.

6. The property shall not be in a federally designated Special Flood Hazard Area (100- year floodplain).

Insurance Requirements
Participant shall maintain, during the term of the loan, a policy insuring the property in an amount equal to or greater than the replacement value of the property, as determined by the Housing Division. The policy shall name the City as additional insured and shall contain a statement of obligation on behalf of the carrier to notify the City of any material change, cancellation, or termination of coverage at least thirty (30) days in advance of the effective date of such material change, cancellation, or termination.

Participants shall annually provide the City with a copy of the certificate of insurance and an additional insured endorsement, signed by an authorized agent of the insurance carrier setting forth the general provisions of coverage.

4. APPLICANT
The applicant shall have legal and/or equitable title to the affected property. All homeowners must be named on the property title and one of the named owners must be in residence throughout the term of the loan. Non-occupant parents and/or children may be on the title in addition to the name of the owner-occupants. All persons listed on the property title must sign program documentation, including the promissory note and deed of trust before closing.

ITEM 11
Agenda Packet Page 37
a. Legal and/or equitable title does not include a lease with or without an option to purchase or a remainder interest.
b. Applicants with life estates or living trusts are eligible to participate in the program if the beneficiary lives on the affected property, the beneficiary meets all other eligibility criteria, and the beneficiary agrees that the loan is due and payable if the life estate of a living trust is terminated (in addition to all regularly applicable situations in which loans become due and payable).
c. All persons, 18 years of age or older, living in the household are required to provide proof of their current income. Non-related live-in caretakers paid by an outside source are not considered eligible persons. Also, a non-title Guarantor, who signs only the promissory note and who does not reside in the home, will not be considered an eligible person for purposes of income eligibility. The City or its agent will verify that all individuals identified in the application do reside at the address and that no additional persons not included on the application reside at the applicant's address.

The applicant must be a U.S. citizen as defined by the Welfare Reform Act.

The applicant must permanently reside in the dwelling in need of rehabilitation at the time of application and must agree to reside there for the full term of the loan.

Prior Program Recipients
One funding award (whether a loan, grant, or combination of both) will be permitted per household. Residents who are prior recipients of a rehab loan and/or grant will not be permitted to receive another loan and/or grant in future years.

The Housing Committee can make exceptions if circumstances justify the additional assistance. Refer to Section 9 for the definition of the Housing Committee.

5. REHABILITATION STANDARDS
Standards
a. The goal of the city’s program is to improve the safety of the home, correct substandard conditions, provide improvements for persons with disabilities, and extend the useful life of the property. Housing units must have health and safety violations according to federal Section 8 Housing Quality Standards or code- related deficiencies as determined by a Housing Rehab Specialist and/or City Building Division representative.

ITEM 11
Agenda Packet Page 38
b. No rehabilitation loan and/or grant will be approved based upon a scope of work that would permit a dwelling unit after rehabilitation to be out of compliance with applicable codes. Such codes include the Uniform Building Code, the National Electrical Code, the Uniform Plumbing Code, the Uniform Mechanical Code, and Chapters 5-10 of the Uniform Housing Code, ADA, Section 504, and relevant sections of Titles 24 which pertain to disability access, local building codes and all other applicable local ordinances.
c. In the case of a CalHOME-funded loan, repairs, and improvements will be limited to those necessary to correct any condition causing the home to be substandard under CCR, Title 25, Section 1606.
d. No rehabilitation loan will be approved that would over-encumber the property, or secure total debt (existing debt plus the City rehabilitation loan amount) against the property over the after-rehabilitation property value, except with mobile/manufactured homes. For mobile/manufactured home loan-to-value determinations, see “Eligibility Determination” under the Loan Approval and Construction Process sections of these guidelines.
e. All work performed must comply with the Program’s Rehabilitation Grades and Standards as outlined in Exhibit C of the Contract for Housing Rehabilitation.

6. ELIGIBLE REPAIRS
Eligible repairs are limited to those necessary for the health and safety of the occupants. The Housing Committee or the Rehabilitation Specialist shall decide as to whether a situation constitutes the existence of a health and safety hazard.

Examples of repairs that will generally qualify are roof repair or replacement, heating and cooling system repair or replacement, water heater replacement, and plumbing and electrical repair. Accessibility improvements, such as door widening, wheelchair ramps/lifts, or grab bar installation, will also generally qualify.

CalHOME funded projects encourage energy efficiency improvements in conjunction with required repairs (energy efficiency items are not allowed as standalone items).

Ineligible repairs shall include the following: repairs not directly related to health and safety, routine maintenance (such as gutter or dryer vent cleaning), appliance repairs or replacement, repairs to garages or other spaces not considered living quarters and not required to access living quarters, luxury and/or cosmetic improvements, and landscaping (including tree removal).

a. The Lead-Based Paint Hazard Information Pamphlet published by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)/HUD/Consumer Safety Commission, entitled “Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home.” The homeowner is required to sign a document stating that he/she has received the pamphlet and placed it in the project file. f. If lead-based paint hazards are found through testing or if presumption is used, a pamphlet entitled “A Notice of Lead Hazard Evaluation or Presumption” shall be provided to the loan recipient no later than fifteen (15) days after a lead hazard evaluation report has been received and lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards have been found.
g. If lead-based paint hazards are found through testing or if presumption is used, occupants shall be notified of any lead hazard evaluation results and the hazard reduction activities and clearance. A pamphlet entitled “Abatement of Lead Hazards Notification” shall be provided five (5) days before starting work.
h. For further action follow the steps outlined in Section 8 Lead-Based Paint.

8. LEAD-BASED PAINT
Federal regulations require recipients of rehabilitation assistance to abide by a lead- based paint policy, which has varying requirements based on the cost of the repairs.

The policy applies only to homes built before 1978, and only in cases where a painted surface is disturbed by the repair work.

Emergency Actions
As per 24 CFR 35.115, emergency actions are immediately necessary to safeguard against imminent danger to human life, health, or safety, or to protect property from further structural damage (such as when a property has been damaged by a natural disaster, fire, or structural collapse), are exempted from lead-based paint requirements. However, occupants shall be protected from exposure to lead in dust and debris generated by such emergency actions to the extent practicable.

This exemption applies only to repairs necessary to respond to the emergency. Lead- based paint requirements shall apply to any work undertaken after, or above and beyond, such emergency actions.

ITEM 11
Agenda Packet Page 43
Safe Work Practices
Safe work practices minimize the spread of lead dust, paint chips, soil, and debris.

Safe work practices shall be observed by all contractors when the area of disturbed paint exceeds twenty (20) square feet on exterior surfaces, two (2) square feet in any one interior room or space, or ten (10) percent of the total surface area on a type of component with a small surface area (e.g. windowsill, baseboards). These levels are considered the de minimis levels.

Safe work practices include using accepted methods of paint removal, observing appropriate occupant protection and worksite preparation methods, and employing specialized cleaning methods.

Clearance
If a painted surface exceeding the de minimis level is disturbed, worksite clearance is required. The clearance examination must be performed by a certified risk assessor or a certified lead-based paint inspector. Clearance examinations must include a visual assessment, dust sampling, submission of samples for analysis for lead, interpretation of sampling results, and preparation of a report.

If clearance is not achieved, all surfaces with a failed clearance sample shall be recleaned or treated by hazard reduction, and retested, until the applicable clearance level is met. Final payment shall not be disbursed until clearance of all worksite areas is achieved.

The Rehabilitation Specialist shall take before and after photographs of the area where lead-based paintwork is taking place.

Properties receiving no more than $5,000
Homes built prior to 1978 may be tested for or presumed to have lead-based paint, and proper noticing is required. Before work begins, the homeowner shall receive two (2) pamphlets, one entitled “Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home” and the other entitled “A Notice of Lead Hazard Evaluation or Presumption.” Both pamphlets are available from the Environmental Protection Agency. The homeowner shall sign a document stating that he/she received these pamphlets.

ITEM 11
Agenda Packet Page 44
Lead-based paint practices shall include repairing surfaces disturbed during rehabilitation, observing safe work practices, and obtaining clearance of the work site.

Properties receiving more than $5,000 but less than $25,000 Homes built before 1978 may be tested for or will be presumed to have lead-based paint and proper noticing is required. Before work begins, the homeowner shall receive two (2) pamphlets, one entitled “Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home” and the other entitled “A Notice of Lead Hazard Evaluation or Presumption.” Both pamphlets are available from the Environmental Protection Agency. The homeowner shall sign a document stating that he/she received these pamphlets.

Before rehabilitation begins, a risk assessment shall be performed for the interior and the exterior of the home. The risk assessment shall be completed by a certified risk assessor or a certified lead-based paint inspector and will conform to accepted standards of lead hazard issued by the EPA. The results of the risk assessment shall be provided to the homeowner.

If the results of the risk assessment show a lead hazard, or if presumption is used, interim controls of lead-based paint hazards identified in a risk assessment shall be conducted. Interim control measures include paint stabilization of deteriorated paint, treatments for friction and impact surfaces, dust control, and lead-contaminated soil control. Interim controls may be performed in combination with, or be replaced by, abatement methods.

The person performing the interim controls must have completed a HUD-approved course on lead-based paint abatement or be supervised by a certified lead-based paint abatement supervisor.

Interim controls will cover the following:
a. Paint stabilization – Any defect in a component (e.g. plaster, siding) will be repaired before paint stabilization controls are carried out. Loose paint and/or loose materials will be removed from the surface and the surface will be prepared using an acceptable method. The surface may then be painted. b. Friction and impact surface – Friction and impact surfaces may include window systems, doors, baseboards, drawers and cabinets, and interior floors. The treatment should stop the surface from being further abraded or impacted (e.g. by installing a doorstop, by rehanging a door). Painting an impact or friction surface without first removing the lead-based paint is insufficient interim control.

ITEM 11
Agenda Packet Page 45
c. Chewable surfaces – Chewable surfaces are required to be treated only if a child under the age of six (6) is known to have chewed the surface, and if lead-based paint is present on the surface.
d. Dust-lead hazard control – Methods for dealing with dust-lead hazards are covered extensively in HUD manuals but include covering rough surfaces with a smooth, easily cleanable surface (e.g. linoleum) and vacuuming carpet with a HEPA vacuum.
e. Soil-lead hazards – Soil-lead hazards may be treated by covering the affected surface with an impermanent covering (e.g. gravel), or, if reasonable, by using land use controls that control access to the affected area (e.g. fencing). f. As with all work where lead-based paint is known or presumed to exist, safe work practices must be observed, and clearance of all worksites must be obtained.

9. HOUSING LOAN/GRANT COMMITTEE
Housing Committee
The Housing Committee shall consist of the City of Citrus Heights Community Development Director, Housing and Human Services Program Coordinator, and/or another designee.

Housing Committee Role
a. The client's confidentiality shall always be maintained, and personal financial records will not be public information.
b. The Committee will review each application and make decisions to fund a loan/grant. The committee reviews the loan package the Program Operator submits for approval/denial and any other information relevant to decreasing the likelihood of foreclosure.

Conflict of Interest Requirements
a. By Title 24, Section 570.611 of the Code of Federal Regulations and with the State of California conflict of interest laws, no member of the governing body and no official, employee, or agent of the local government, nor any other person who exercises policy or decision making responsibilities (including members of the Housing Committee and officers, employees, and agents of the Housing Committee, the administrative agent, contractors and similar agencies) in connection with the planning and implementation of the program shall directly or indirectly be eligible for this program.

ITEM 11

10. PROGRAM PROCEDURES
Waiting List

The City shall maintain a waitlist for Program assistance. Persons may request to be added to the waitlist by calling the City’s Housing Division. As funding allows, City staff will contact households on the waitlist and offer them the opportunity to complete an application. Households shall have 30 days from the date of initial contact to submit a complete application; households failing to apply to this timeframe will be removed from the waitlist. Persons who desire assistance later will be added to the waitlist.

The City may close the waitlist when the number of persons on the waiting list exceeds the number that can reasonably be expected to secure funding through the Program.

Application

Each applicant shall complete an application form, which asks for sufficient information concerning income, employment, assets, and property characteristics to establish preliminary eligibility for Program participation. Applications shall be deemed complete only if all information is complete and submitted in the format requested, and the application is signed and dated.

At a minimum, applicants must submit for all adults living in the household the most recent six months of income documentation (e.g., paystubs, Social Security award letters); the most recent three years of federal tax returns; the most recent six months of banking/investment statements for all accounts, including retirement accounts; copy of deed or title to property; and the most recent mortgage statement(s).

Applicants may be required to provide additional and/or older documentation to confirm Program eligibility.

The City may conduct employment and/or asset verifications with employers, benefits agencies, banks, etc.

ITEM 11
Agenda Packet Page 47
If the City encounters material discrepancies and/or misrepresentations, and/or there is income, asset, household composition, or other important questions that cannot be resolved to the satisfaction of the Housing Specialist, the City reserves the right to deny assistance to the household. In this case, the applicant may re-apply after six months have elapsed from the time of written assistance denial.

Income Qualification

The applicant’s total household income shall be at or below eighty (80) percent of the area median income (AMI), adjusted for household size. The income limits in place at the time of loan approval shall apply when determining the applicant's income eligibility and funding source.

A. Definitions

1. Household. This means one or more persons who occupy a housing unit.

Unborn children do not count in family size determination. Children are counted in family size determination only if they reside in the home at least fifty percent of the time.

2. Annual Income. Generally, the gross amount of income of all adult household members is anticipated to be received during the coming 12-month period.

3. Household Income. Household income is the annual gross income of all adult household members that is projected to be received during the coming 12-month period and shall be used to determine program eligibility. Refer to Income Inclusions and Exclusions for further guidance on the types of incomes to be included or excluded when calculating gross annual income. For those types of income counted, gross amounts (before any deductions have been taken) are used. The household’s projected ability to pay must be used, rather than past earnings, when calculating income.

4. Annual Income. Depending on the funding sources, annual income limits can be found using the links below.

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, HUD

California Department of Housing and Community Development, HCD

ITEM 11
Agenda Packet Page 48

5. Assets. Income from assets is recognized as part of annual income under the Part 5 definition. An asset is a cash or non-cash item that can be converted to cash. The value of necessary items such as furniture and automobiles are not included. (Note: it is the income earned – e.g. interest on a savings account – not the asset value, which is counted in annual income.)

An asset’s cash value is the market value less reasonable expenses required to convert the asset to cash, including, for example, penalties or fees for converting financial holdings, and costs for selling real property. The cash value (rather than the market value) of an item is counted as an asset.

6. Lien Position. The applicant must not have more than one mortgage recorded on the property at the time of approval. The Housing Committee may consider an exception and allow two mortgages on the property if the loan-to-value ratio of all loans (including the City’s proposed loan) will be less than 105 percent, provided this value does not exceed 100 percent of the median sales price of homes in Sacramento County.

7. Acceptable Financing. The applicant must not hold an interest-only, adjustable rate, or reverse mortgage. Also, no financing, senior or junior to the CalHOME loan may be a balloon payment due before the maturity date of the CalHOME loan.

8. Cash Out. Any cash payment to the homeowner out of escrow is prohibited.

B. Income shall be verified by reviewing and documenting tax returns, copies of pay stubs or other wage receipts, subsidy award letters or checks, banking and investment statements, and third-party verification of employment forms sent to employers. Other documentation necessary to confirm or calculate a household’s income or assets may be required if deemed necessary by the Program Operator.

All documentation shall be dated within six months before loan funding in the applicant file and held in strict confidence.

11. PROPERTY INSPECTION
A brief property inspection will be conducted by the Rehabilitation Specialist to determine the need for repairs. The Rehabilitation Specialist will note any structures or systems that need repair or replacement and will provide a rough estimate of the cost to complete the repair.

ITEM 11
Agenda Packet Page 49
The City may order a third-party lead-based paint inspection, pest inspection, and/or asbestos testing if deemed necessary by the Rehabilitation Specialist. The associated costs may be included in the loan amount at the City’s sole discretion.

If the necessary repairs are estimated to exceed available funding, the Rehabilitation Specialist will determine the priority of the repairs. If the Rehabilitation Specialist determines that the home cannot be made safe and habitable with the available funding, the property shall be ineligible for assistance.

12. WORK WRITE-UP
After verifying that all necessary eligibility requirements have been met, the Rehabilitation Specialist shall prepare an itemized repair work write-up and an estimate of costs to complete the repairs. The Section 8 Housing Quality Standards and any applicable City building codes shall be used in determining the scope of work to be completed. A copy of the specifications write-up and estimated cost shall be provided to the homeowner(s).

13. BIDDING PROCESS AND CONTRACTOR SELECTION
A pre-bid conference notice will be sent to licensed contractors on the preferred contractor's list. A homeowner may work with a contractor, not on the preferred contractors list.

The City requires all contractors to provide:

The Rehabilitation Specialist will conduct a walk-through bid conference with interested contractors. All bids must be submitted on the City’s forms and a minimum of three bids is required unless an exception to this requirement is approved by the Housing Committee.

ITEM 11
Agenda Packet Page 50
After reviewing the bids, the Rehabilitation Specialist will share the bids with the homeowner, the homeowner selects a contractor, and a notice of award will be sent to the contractor who submitted bids on the project.

Participants shall not receive a loan to perform work in their own homes. Participants also shall not contract with any firm employing any person related to any member of the household.

14. CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT
The Rehabilitation Specialist shall prepare a Construction Agreement between the selected contractor and the homeowner in the amount not to exceed the bid plus a ten (10) percent contingency. A copy of the contract shall be provided to the homeowner and contractor for review.

Participants shall not enter into any other agreements with the contractor (verbal or written) during the active term of the Construction Agreement.

15. LOAN DOCUMENTS
After the Construction Agreement is signed, the Program Operator/City shall prepare the necessary loan documents for the homeowner’s signature. These shall include:
a. Loan Agreement
b. Promissory Note
c. Deed of Trust
d. Notice of Right of Rescission
e. Fair Lending Disclosure
f. Notice to Proceed
The Loan Agreement and the Deed of Trust shall be recorded to secure the loan.

The contractor shall have thirty (30) days from the date of the Notice to Proceed to complete the work, except when hazardous conditions exist, and the timeframe may be shortened.

ITEM 11
Agenda Packet Page 51

16. CHANGE ORDERS
All change orders require the approval of the owner, the contractor (if a contractor is involved), and the City’s Program Operator. All three parties will sign the change order before the commencement of the work proposed in the change order. All change orders for $2,000.00 or greater must be approved in writing by City staff.

17. WORK COMPLETION
The Program Operator will conduct a final walk-through inspection with the homeowner and contractor to address any outstanding items. Upon completion of work and a final inspection by the City’s Building Division, a Notice of Completion (signed by the homeowner) will be recorded at the County Recorder's Office.

18. DISBURSEMENT
The City shall disburse funds to each contractor no more than three (3) times.

Disbursements must be commensurate with the amount of work completed, including materials delivered. The final disbursement may only take place after all work has been performed, the final inspection completed, an unconditional lien release received from the contractor and any subcontractors, and the lead-based paint clearance achieved, if necessary. Construction disbursements cannot be released without the signatures of the homeowner, contractor, and the City’s Housing and Human Services Program Coordinator. Every effort shall be made to disburse funds within two (2) weeks of the final inspection, assuming all work is satisfactorily completed.

19. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND APPEALS PROCEDURE

During pre-construction, construction, or post-construction periods, the applicant/borrower shall engage in the following process to have any disputes heard and resolved:

A. Any person applying for a rehabilitation loan/grant through the City’s program has the right to appeal their application if denied.

In addition, during the pre -construction, construction, and post -construction periods, the borrower has a right to have any disputes heard and resolved.

The contractual obligation for rehabilitation is ultimately between the contractor and the homeowner. If the two parties conflict, the following procedure will occur:

ITEM 11
Agenda Packet Page 52
Stage 1: Before any intervention occurs, the homeowner or contractor shall communicate perceived problems or complaints directly to the other party. To resolve the differences, each will allow the other to respond or correct the problem.

Stage 2: If the Stage 1 attempt fails, the homeowner or contractor may ask City staff to informally intervene. This intervention might include telephone calls to the contractor or homeowner, meetings at the job site or in the office, or other actions as appropriate, including such things as the establishment of written working guidelines or other post-contractual agreements. It must be recognized that at this point the homeowner may wish to utilize other options, including contacting the Contractor’s State Licensing Board and submitting a complaint.

Stage 3: Any controversy between the parties that cannot be settled through the informal intervention process outlined above shall be submitted to binding arbitration according to the laws of the State of California and the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Costs of the arbitration will be borne by the party failing to make his case, or subject to the terms of the arbitration agreement. The award of such Arbitration should be final and not subject to appeal. The prevailing party shall be reimbursed by the losing party for any reasonable legal costs and fees.

B. The homeowner has other options that may be utilized, including the following:
a. Submitting a complaint to the Contractors State Licensing Board. b. Contacting Housing and Community Development.
c. Using professional mediation or binding arbitration services. d. Taking legal action.

C. It is hoped that the informal intervention process outlined above will offset other contractors and/or homeowners' actions and that every attempt is made to remedy problems and resolve differences before more drastic options are necessary. Any dispute between the parties that cannot be settled through the informal intervention process outlined above shall be settled by the owner and contractor through other options listed above.

This program is subject to the "Relocation, Displacement, and Acquisition" Amendment of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1977, URA, and Section 104(d) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. CDBG rehabilitation projects will not result in involuntary displacement.

21. TEMPORARY RELOCATION ASSISTANCE

a. Owner-occupants participate in the housing repair program voluntarily, and therefore, will not normally be eligible for relocation assistance under this program. b. Relocation assistance will be considered only if an extreme situation of hardship exists, such as when the owner is elderly, financially destitute, has no friends or family to assist with housing, all alternatives have been exhausted, and relocation is necessary for medical reasons while substantial rehabilitation is occurring. c.

d. These funds may be used to help pay for the rent and/or utility costs of temporary housing and/or for the cost of moving and storing furniture. e. In the case of a CDBG -funded project, relocation costs will not be part of the loan funds advanced to the borrower but will be given to the family as a grant instead and will not require repayment. If the project is funded by CalHOME, the relocation expenses will be incorporated as part of the loan.
f. If a homeowner receives a relocation grant or loan, the grant or loan must be included in the Loan Agreement.

Fiscal Impact

This recommendation has no fiscal impact. All fees collected under the SCTMFP are remitted to the STA for distribution through the capital program. Additionally, amendments to the Measure A Program do not increase or reduce the City’s distribution of Measure A revenues. The Fee Program allows the City to charge a 2% administrative fee to cover administrative reporting and similar costs to administer the fee.

Background and Analysis

In 2004, Sacramento countywide voters supported the renewal of Measure A (new Measure A), which is a 1/2 cent Transportation Sales tax. The new Measure A, which went into effect in 2009, included an Expenditure Plan and extended the existing Measure A sales tax for 30 years.

Administered by the Sacramento Transportation Authority (STA), the new Measure A sales tax also required implementation of the Sacramento Countywide Transportation Mitigation Development Impact Fee Program (SCTMFP) for partial funding of the transportation improvements and projects identified in the Measure A Expenditure Plan. The program was created to generate a uniform transportation mitigation fee on certain new development in Sacramento County as a funding source for road and transit system improvements needed to accommodate projected growth.

Each jurisdiction was required to implement the SCTMFP as a condition of receiving the New Measure A sales tax revenues. These collected revenues are then remitted to the STA for reallocation to specific county-wide transportation projects included in the Measure A Expenditure Plan. Each local fee is required to be consistent with the SCTMFP, as adopted by the STA.

In 2022, the STA spearheaded efforts to conduct an updated nexus study supporting the SCTMFP to ensure current and forecasted land uses are consistent with the categories outlined in the program. Following extensive collaboration with the impacted agencies and various stakeholders, on June 13, 2024, the STA Governing Board approved a resolution:

• Adopting the 2024 SCTMFP Nexus Study with additional land use categories • Setting the updated SCTMFP Fee Rates effective January 1, 2025 • Including a new residential fee structure to align with AB 602 requirements for fees to be proportional to square footage categories
• Amending the local arterial program to include smart growth arterials and corridors • Revising the SCTMFP overall program allocation.

On August 8, 2024, the STA Governing Board approved an Amended Agreement on Operating Protocols which incorporates the updated Fee Rates effective January 1, 2025, and includes fee reductions for infill and transit-oriented development projects, and additional exemptions for accessory dwelling units less than 750 square feet and development projects intended for use by the County or the City.

Updated Fee Amounts and New Residential Fee Structures. The fees for the various development types were updated using current trip generation rates consistent with state law. In addition, the residential fees were updated to align with AB 602 requirements for fees to be proportionate to the square footage of the proposed development. The Nexus Study consultant worked with local agency staff to find the most appropriate square footage categories. Based on the 2024 SCTMFP Nexus Study fee calculation and the Agreement on Operating Protocols (Amended – August 2024), the new fee rates effective January 1, 2025, are set as follows:

SECTION 2. Findings. The City Council hereby finds:

CEQA Compliance. Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 21080(b)(8) and CEQA Statutory Exemption Section 15273(a)(4) allow for the establishment, modification, structuring, restructuring, or approval of rates, tolls, fares, and other charges by public agencies for the purpose of obtaining funds for capital projects necessary to maintain service within existing service areas. The ordinance amendments are to reflect changes in the newly adopted 2024 SCTMFP Nexus Study to include new land use categories and definitions and additional exemptions to the Measure A Fee. This action clearly meets the requirements of PRC Section 21080(b)(8) and CEQA Statutory Exemption Section 15273(a)(4) because it will fund capital improvement projects within the existing service area of the Citrus Heights City Limits and would not result in the expansion of the transportation system or any other uses or activities. Therefore, the proposed action is not subject to the provisions of CEQA.

SECTION 3. Amendments to Chapter 18 (Buildings and Building Regulations)

The City Council hereby adopts the amendments to Article XXX Chapter 18 Development Impact Fees to for Measure A Transportation Improvements, as shown and incorporated in Exhibit A to this ordinance.

SECTION 4. Severability. If any section, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this Ordinance is for any reason held invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct and independent provision, and such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions thereof.

SECTION 5. Effective Date and Notice. This ordinance shall take effect sixty (60) days after its adoption, in accordance with Government Code 66017, provided it is published in full or in summary within fifteen (15) days of its adoption, in a newspaper of general circulation published and circulated in the City of Citrus Heights.

ITEM 12
Agenda Packet Page 72
Developments in areas with Reduced Parking Availability may be subject to reduced fees, at the sole discretion of the General Services Director, if the development project results in reduced trip generation. Any such fee reduction must be supported by a Traffic Study submitted by the Applicant and prepared and stamped by a licensed Traffic or Civil Engineer and which has been accepted by the City Engineer.

D. Fees for Housing Developments.

1. Generally. The fee imposed pursuant to this Chapter for a Transit Oriented Development shall be set at a rate that reflects a lower rate of automobile trip generation associated with that Transit Oriented Development in comparison with non-Transit Oriented Development, unless the City adopts findings after a public hearing establishing that the Transit Oriented Development would not generate fewer automobile trips than a non-Transit Oriented Development. If a housing development does not satisfy the characteristics of a Transit Oriented Development, the City will charge a fee pursuant to this Chapter that is proportional to the estimated rate of automobile trip generation associated with the housing development.

2. Traffic Study.

2.1. Project-Specific Traffic Study. Housing developments seeking a fee adjustment pursuant to this section shall submit a traffic study, stamped by a licensed Traffic or Civil Engineer (and which has been accepted by the City Engineer), which demonstrates the lower rate of automobile trip generation associated with the applicable housing development compared to the Nexus Study.

2.2. Alternative Traffic Study. A Transit Oriented Development may submit to City a traffic study, stamped by a licensed Traffic or Civil Engineer (and which has been accepted by the City Engineer), which demonstrates the lower rate of automobile trip generation associated with Transit Oriented Developments and other similar types of development compared to non-Transit Oriented Developments. In the event a Transit Oriented Development submits the Alternative Study pursuant to this section, the Finance Director, in consultation with STA, may apply a standard Transit Oriented Development fee reduction based on studies related to Transit Oriented Developments unless the applicable Transit Oriented Development elects to provide City with a Project-Specific Traffic Study, as described in section 18-813(D)(2.1), for the General Services Director to use in calculating the appropriate fee hereunder.

E. Re-purposing/Reuse of Existing Buildings.

A. The fee imposed pursuant to this Chapter for any re-purposing or change in use of existing buildings shall only apply to the net increase in average daily trips attributable to the new purpose or use, as compared to the prior established use.

B. Fees shall be calculated hereunder by comparing the rates applicable to the prior and new uses as designated in the City’s Fee Schedule and calculating the resulting offset. In the alternative, where a proposed land use is not clearly listed in the Fee Schedule, the fee shall be calculated as follows:

ITEM 12
Agenda Packet Page 73

1. Calculate the difference between previous average daily trips and new average daily trips at the property. The determination of average daily trips for the purpose of comparing previous and proposed uses shall be by reference to trip generation rates obtained from the Institute of Traffic Engineers.

2. Multiply the result by the normalized cost per trip.

C. Requests for a fee adjustment pursuant to this provision shall be made to the City in writing. The Finance Director shall determine whether a development project has made the required showing for a fee adjustment.

Section 18-814 Use of funds shall be added as follows:

Sec. 18-814. – Use of funds.

4. Using the same as may be permitted under Section 66006 of the Government Code.

B. Unless used or refunded as otherwise permitted under this section, moneys, including any accrued interest, not assigned in any fiscal year shall be retained in the same fund or account until the next fiscal year.

C. The city council, by resolution, may authorize the city manager to transfer funds, including any accrued interest, to (1) another public entity with the authority to manage the fund pursuant to Section 66006 of the Government Code, or (2) another public entity with the authority to undertake construction of the public facility funded by the fee.

Section 18-815 Disposition of unexpended or unappropriated fee revenues shall be added as follows:

Sec. 18-815. – Disposition of unexpended or unappropriated fee revenues.

A. Commencing with the fifth fiscal year following the first fiscal year of receipt of any revenues from the fees established, assessed and levied pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, and in each fiscal year thereafter, the city treasurer, or his or her designee, shall provide the city council ITEM 12
Agenda Packet Page 74
with a report which sets forth the total amount of all such fee revenues that were received and deposited in the appropriate special funds and accounts in each fiscal year prior to the date of such report, but which remain unexpended or unappropriated by the city or another public entity as referenced in section 18-814 as of the date of the report; provided, however, that no report shall be required in any year in which there were no unspent or unappropriated fee revenues in such fund which were received and deposited in the fund more than five years prior to the date of the report.

B. Upon review of each report described in subsection (A) of this section, the city council shall take one of the following actions required by Section 66001 of the Government Code with respect to any unexpended or unappropriated fee revenue in the appropriate special fund which was received and deposited in such fund five or more years prior to the date of such report:

1. Appropriate all or any part of such unexpended or unappropriated fee revenue for the construction, installation, acquisition or provision of the public facilities for which the fee was imposed;

In order to construct the trail, the removal of 21 protected trees was required. The Project planted 12 trees. The Tree Mitigation Fee shown in Table 1 has been deposited into the City’s Tree Mitigation Fee Fund (Fund 264). In addition, associated with this Project but not summarized in the fiscal impact tables, the City has contracted with the Sacramento Tree Foundation (utilizing Tree Mitigation Fees) to install, maintain, monitor, and map 160 native and other trees at four parks located along the recently constructed Arcade-Cripple Creek Trail. The work by the Sacramento Tree Foundation is currently in progress.

At the August 11, 2022 meeting, Council approved a loan from the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) to cover the gap funding for the construction of the Arcade-Cripple Creek Trail. The loan was approved up to a maximum of $2,000,000; however, due to continued value engineering throughout the construction phase, Project costs came in significantly under budget. As a result, the total loan amount claimed is only $1,308,362.66.

To date, the City has made two payments on the loan totaling $835,181.25 utilizing Measure A Road Maintenance Funds (Fund 210). The remaining loan balance of $473,181.41 will be paid in or near June 2025 with Measure A Funds (Fund 210).

Background and Analysis

On August 11, 2022, the City Council approved a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with CVEA for the Arcade-Cripple Creek Trail Project (formerly known as the Electric Greenway Trail Project).

This Project constructed a 2.9-mile multi-use trail, providing bicycle and pedestrian facilities largely following an existing Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) overhead transmission corridor between Arcade Creek Park Preserve and Wachtel Way in both Citrus Heights and unincorporated Orangevale in Sacramento County. The Project includes a direct connection to the recently constructed Mitchell Village Trail, and provides access between eight parks, the Sunrise Market Place and to Woodside K-8 School.

With all field work complete and accepted by staff, the Project is ready for Final Acceptance.

Request for Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity (PLN-24-16) Summary and Recommendation
A L
etter of Public Convenience and Necessity (PCN) offers the City Council the ability to approve or deny alcohol license applications when a census tract area is considered “over- concentrated” by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). Bourbons & More is proposing a location at 8067 Greenback Lane, within a census tract (81.20) that ABC has determined can only allow two off-sale establishments without being considered over- concentrated. As shown in Attachment 1A, five off-sale locations are currently within census tract 81.20.

Bour
bons & More is proposed within the Greenback Square Shopping Center (8067 Greenback Lane). The location will offer a wide assortment of high-quality spirits. The store is requesting an alcohol license (Type 21-off-sale beer/wine/spirits and Type 86 instructional tasting of beer/wine/spirits).

The
proposal includes the sale of alcoholic beverages, that include a variety of exclusive bourbon, tequila, and whiskey. Instructional tastings will be conducted in a designated alcohol sampling area, exclusively for customers aged 21 and above. These tastings will be led by certified employees and certified supplier partners who are certified in accordance with ABC’s Responsible Beverage Service training program.

Al
though the census tract has five off-sale locations as shown in Attachment 1A, there are two locations located within 1,000 ft of the project site. The proposed project has been reviewed by the Police Department with no identifiable concerns (Attachment 3). Staff recommends the City Council find the PCN will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of the community and approve the PCN.

Staff recommends the following motion:

Move to approve the Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity to allow the issuance of a Type 21 and Type 86 alcohol license for the sale of beer/wine/spirits and instructional tastings at the proposed liquor store located at 8067 Greenback Lane.

City Council Strategic Goal/Objective

This staff report aligns with the following Citrus Heights City Council Strategic Goal: Diversify for a vibrant economy.

Fiscal Impact

The proposed liquor store is anticipated to generate approximately $9,200 in annual sales tax revenue.

Background and Analysis

Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity (PCN)

The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) requires an applicant to obtain a letter of “Public Convenience and Necessity” (PCN) from the affected jurisdiction (the City of Citrus Heights) because the area is deemed “over concentrated” by ABC standards. Over concentration is based on the number of existing licenses within each census tract with a maximum number assigned per tract.

The applicant is required to obtain a “letter of public convenience” from the City Council because the number of alcohol licenses in the area exceeds ABC’s standards (one per 2,000 capita). As part of their request, the applicant is required to demonstrate the alcohol license request would serve the public’s convenience and necessity.

Chapter 6 of the Citrus Heights Municipal Code regulates the issuance of “Letters of Public Convenience”. The Chapter outlines a process by which a variety of departments and agencies review applications for “Letters of Public Convenience”. Department review is related to current and past concerns at the location, including criminal activity, building code violations, business license renewal, zoning approval, health violations, zoning enforcement, and complaints to the ABC.

Each department reviews the application and can recommend denial of the application based on problems with the site. The City Council is not obligated to approve the license request even if the business has not violated any department’s provisions. While Chapter 6 contains standards for reviewing departments to recommend denial of an application of this type, it does not contain any standards for approving such applications and determining that the “public convenience and necessity” standard is met. There are no criteria for spacing these uses or other limitations found ITEM 15
Agenda Packet Page 87
Subject: 8067 Greenback Lane- Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity Date: December 11, 2024

Page 3 of 4 ends

Printed on Recycled Paper
within the Code. The Council has the full discretion to approve or deny the “Letter of Public Convenience” request.

Project Description

Bourbons and More is proposed to open within the Greenback Square Shopping Center at 8067 Greenback Lane. This location will offer a wide assortment of whiskey, bourbon, and other liquor. The new liquor store will be open daily between the hours of 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Bourbons and More currently operates two other nearby locations in Roseville and Rocklin.

The applicant is requesting a Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity to allow for off-sale beer/wine/spirits (Type 21) and instructional tasting of beer/wine/spirits (Type 86). Tastings will be offered in small sample sizes in accordance with ABC regulations to customers aged 21 years and older and served by certified employees and supplier partners. Alcoholic beverages will be under constant employee and video surveillance, and employees and service partners offering tastings will be certified in accordance with ABC’s Responsible Beverage Service training program.

The proposed location is within the Greenback Square center which is home to a variety of users including restaurants and also has a number of existing vacancies. Due to the mix and quality of products sold, the applicant believes that the project will bring synergy to the center and fill a longstanding vacancy.

Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity Analysis

Based on an analysis of the surrounding ABC licenses, staff determined there are a total of five off-sale licenses within Census Tract 81.20. There are two other liquor stores within 1,000 ft of the project location, which are in the neighboring census tracts to the east and south of the site.

Bourbons and More will operate from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Employees will be thoroughly trained to ensure exceptional customer service and regulatory compliance with ABC (See Attachment 2 for additional operational criteria).

The store layout provides visibility of the cashier from the parking lot. The premises will be monitored with 16 surveillance cameras, and recordings will be kept for 30 days. Security measures, including alarm monitoring will be in place.

Additionally, all alcohol will be stored away from doors, with single (airplane) size bottles kept behind the counter, and with strict age verification at registers. The store will also post the required signage, maintain neat premises, limit window signage to 25% maximum, and employ two security staff members to ensure a safe environment.

As required by Chapter 6 of the Municipal Code the Police Department has reviewed the request to provide off-sale beer, wine and distilled spirits. The Police Department reviewed the proposed location and does not object to the issuance of the Letter of Public Convenience for this location (Attachment 3).

Community Outreach

As part of the City’s outreach program, staff informed the Sunrise MarketPlace (SMP), Neighborhood Areas 7/8/9 (CHASEN) and the Birdcage Heights Neighborhood Area 11 of the request for a Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity. No comments have been received from either Neighborhood Association as of the writing of this staff report.

Planning Division staff received verbal concerns from the nearby In and Go Market (Fair Oaks Boulevard and Greenback Lane), related to impact of competition to their business as well as concerns related to the recent Zoning Code changes which eliminated the need for a Use Permit for alcohol establishments.

SMP has reviewed the request and does not object to the issuance of the Letter of Public Convenience for this location. Meeting notices for tonight’s City Council hearing were sent to all property owners within 500 feet of the project as well as a notice that was published in the Citrus Heights Messenger. A sign with the project and meeting details was also posted at the proposed project location at the time of submittal. ABC mandates that businesses post a public notice on- site to inform nearby residents that an application related to alcohol sales is in process. This notice has been displayed at the 8067 Greenback Lane location since the application was filed with ABC.

SUBJECT: Bourbons and More – 8067 Greenback Ln: Letter of Public Convenience & Necessity (PCN)

The Citrus Heights Police Department has reviewed the proposed Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity for Bourbons and More located at 8067 Greenback Lane in Citrus Heights. The review process included an external inspection of the proposed location, a review of surrounding businesses with alcohol licenses, a CPTED evaluation, and an analysis of calls for service in the area.

The proposed location is within an existing retail center and is satisfactory regarding environmental design and lighting. Several other tenants within the center operate as compatible use rs, including restaurants and retail stores. The existing parking lot is well-lit, with bright lights near the entrance s and exits. The parking lot has lighting in numerous strategic areas to ensure security during nighttime hours. The interior of the store is brightly lit and visible. Shrubbery and vegetation should continue to be trimmed and maintained to ensure natural surveillance of the property.

We will ask that the security plan for the grocer mirrors that of the other use rs in the city with similar operations and will be consistent with the general security plans and practices of similar operators.

An analysis was conducted of calls for service at 8067 Greenback Lane during the past year. There appeared to be no noticeable trends nor any above -average number of calls for service at the location, and as compared to other similar businesses in Citrus Heights.

The Citrus Heights Police Department recommends approval of the proposed request for Bourbons and More to obtain a Type 21 and Type 86 ABC license for this location.

Fiscal Impact

The proposed Starbucks with drive-thru service is anticipated to generate up to $4,800 in annual sales tax revenue.

Amendment to Stock Ranch Guide for Development- Description of Request

The Guide for Development includes the development standards for the entire Stock Ranch Planning Area. The applicant is specifically requesting an amendment related to the allowed hours of operation for fast-casual and drive-thru restaurants (See Redline/Strikeout Proposed Changes, Attachment 2).

When the City was considering the Stock Ranch Guide for Development, the community expressed concerns about the potential noise levels impacting nearby residential homes. As a result, the Guide includes specific language and standards to ensure that uses within the commercial center do not have an adverse effect on the surrounding neighborhoods. One particular concern was the noise level from standard operations from the commercial center.

In order to address this concern, the Guide has specific language and standards to ensure that certain uses do not operate beyond designated hours:

Fast-casual and drive-thru restaurants may be open from 6:00 am to 12:00 midnight and the drive-through window may remain open until 1:00 am. A noise analysis shall be provided for drive-through restaurants to demonstrate that noise does not exceed City standards.

In order to meet customer needs, most Starbucks locations open between the hours of 4:30 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. All existing Starbucks drive-thru locations within Citrus Heights open at 4:30 a.m.

As a result of creating more consistent customer experience the applicant is requesting an amendment that would allow the café to open at 5:00 am, one hour earlier than the Guide currently allows. The applicant’s proposed amendment would be as follows:

Fast-casual and drive-thru restaurants may be open from 5:00 am 6:00 am to 12:00
midnight and the drive-through window may remain open until 1:00 am. A noise analysis shall be provided for drive-through restaurants to demonstrate that noise does not exceed City standards

Amendment to Stock Ranch Guide for Development– Analysis

The Stock Ranch Guide for Development is largely focused on ensuring the compatibility of the center with the surrounding neighborhood. In particular, this standard is intended to prevent noise disturbances that can occur due to business operation.

Printed on Recycled Paper
Staff believes the proposed changes will still achieve the intent of the original guidelines and still comply with the existing noise standards for commercial operation. The Noise Analysis (Attachment 5) concludes that the noise levels of standard operation of the Starbucks Drive-Thru will not adversely affect the surrounding neighborhoods as the operations will result in noise generation less than existing ambient noise levels. The proposed change will also create consistent Starbucks customer experience amongst its other locations.

Amendment to Stock Ranch Guide for Development– Conclusion

Staff believes the proposed amendment is consistent with the intent of the Guide for Development. Staff recommends the City Council approve the amendment consistent with the Planning Commission’s recommendation of approval.

Use Permit- Description of Request

The applicant requests a Use Permit to allow for the operation and construction of a new 2,305 square foot drive-thru coffee shop in the Auburn Commerce District within the Stock Ranch Specific Plan Area. The project includes an amendment to the Guide for Development related to drive-thru use hours of operation. The new ground-up store consists of drive-thru service, an interior café, and an exterior patio area.

Vehicles will enter the project site from entrances to the east and west of the project site via Auburn Boulevard. The project includes dual drive-thru lanes with capacity for roughly 19 vehicles. The applicant is requesting hours of operation from 5:00 am to 11:00 pm daily.

The proposal also complies with other provisions of the Zoning Code and the Municipal Code relating to parking, setbacks, building height, and other applicable development standards of the Code.

Use Permit – Analysis

The drive-thru component of this project requires approval of a Use Permit. The Citrus Heights Zoning Code (Section 106.62.050) requires that the City Council must be able to make five findings before approving the Use Permit. The required findings are listed below in bold italics and are followed by an evaluation of the applicant’s request in relation to the required findings.

• The proposed use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other applicable provisions of this Zoning Code, The Stock Ranch Guide for Development, and the Municipal Code;
• The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan;

The project is consistent with the General Plan. The project site has a General Plan designation of General Commercial (GC). In addition to a wide variety of commercial uses, the GC designation also allows retail uses such as restaurants and cafes. The General Plan, as discussed ITEM 16

in greater detail in the Design Review Permit portion of this report, contains numerous goals and policies that support economic development and redevelopment of underutilized sites.

• The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed activity are compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity; • The site is physically suitable for the type, density and intensity of use being proposed, including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints; and • Granting the permit would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or materially injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity and zoning district in which the property is located.

The project site is located south of Auburn Boulevard, east of Sylvan Road. Adjacent to the proposed drive-thru restaurant are other retail commercial uses to the south and west, with residential neighborhoods to the east, and north across Auburn Boulevard.

The General Plan land use designation is General Commercial which provides for retail uses, services, restaurants, professional and administrative offices, and other similar and compatible uses. The proposed development of a retail complex is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of General Commercial. In addition, the proposal is consistent with General Plan goals and policies that support viable and attractive development within major corridors and that encourage economic development. Some of the applicable General Plan goals and policies are as follows:

 Policy 10.9: Require upgraded architectural and landscape features on projects involving auto intensive facilities.

 Goal 17: Develop the Stock Ranch property with a mix of uses that enhance the City’s economic base, are compatible with surrounding land uses, and are sensitive to natural resources

Based upon the information above, staff believes the project meets the goals of the General Plan and the required finding.

• The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the facility are compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity.

The new building will be constructed in the north portion of the commercial center along Auburn Boulevard. The new retail building will feature a coffee shop with drive-thru service. The Stock Ranch Guide for Development allows for one drive-thru restaurant in the Auburn Commerce District (with a Use Permit), this project will fulfill that allowance.

Circulation: The project includes dual drive-thru lanes on the east side of the parcel. The site plan indicates the entrances and exit of the drive-thru service lane meets the development standards by providing the necessary separation between the drive-thru lane and drive aisles.

The proposal also complies with other provisions of the Zoning Code and the Municipal Code relating to parking, setbacks, building height, and other applicable development standards of the Code.

Noise.

The operating hours for the coffee shop are proposed to be 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.

Analysis reviewed the proposed communication equipment and found noise from the ordering system will not significantly increase ambient noise levels at the nearby residential properties.

The project has proposed that the drive-thru ordering system be outfitted with an automatic volume control that will fluctuate the volume control based upon the ambient noise (Condition of Approval #3). The Noise Analysis evaluated the proposed ordering system and determined that the noise generated by the system is consistent with the city’s noise standards and does not result in a noise impact. In addition, to reduce amplified noise from queued vehicles, the applicant has proposed signage and operating standards within the Operating Agreement to restrict noise generated.

Lighting.

The project will install lighting within the parking area and on the building. The fixtures on the building will be complimentary to the building’s design. All fixtures are required to be shielded and directed downwards to ensure that light does not spill onto neighboring properties or adversely affect nighttime views. A photometric plan for the project was submitted which demonstrates the proposed plan meets the city’s outdoor lighting regulations (Attachment 1).

Based upon the information discussed above, the design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the facility are compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity.

• The site is physically suitable for the type, density and intensity of the use, including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints.

The project is currently served by water, sewer, stormwater system, electricity and other utilities.

The project has been designed to tie into the existing utility networks and the utility providers included conditions to ensure the project meets current standards and will be able to be served accordingly.

Based upon the analysis above and recommended conditions of approval there are no identifiable physical constraints for the proposed use.

• Granting the permit would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or materially injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity and zoning district in which the proposed project is located.

The site is surrounded by other commercial uses on two sides and has been designed to comply with the City’s development standards, including the City’s guidelines for drive-thrus.

Based upon the analysis above and recommended conditions of approval, the Use Permit will not be detrimental to public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, nor materially injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity and zoning district.

Design Review Permit - Analysis

The Stock Ranch Guide for Development requires that the City Council make five findings before approving a Design Review Permit. The required findings are listed below in bold italics and are followed by an evaluation of the applicant’s request in relation to the required findings.

• The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and Stock Ranch Guide for Development.

General Plan
. The General Plan designates this property General Commercial, which allows for commercial uses including restaurants. The project is consistent with many of the goals and policies of the General Plan, including Goals 10, 10.1, 10.2 and 17:

 Goal 10: Achieve attractive, inviting and functional corridors.  Policy 10.1: Require superior architectural and functional site design features for new development projects along major corridors.  Policy 10.2: Design buildings to revitalize streets and public spaces and to enhance a sense of community and personal safety.

 Goal 17: Develop the Stock Ranch property with a mix of uses that enhance the City’s economic base, are compatible with surrounding land uses, and are sensitive to natural resources

The site is located along Auburn Boulevard, one of the main commercial corridors in Citrus Heights. The proposed coffee shop is consistent with the City’s goals and policies that support viable and attractive commercial development within major corridors and land use concepts and principles that encourage economic development in the community.

The Zoning Code provides drive-thru facility standards such as queuing length and visibility of the service lane from the street. The project meets the drive-thru standards including screening of the drive-thru lane with the placement of landscaping and decorative low walls. The screening also protects vehicles traveling along Auburn Boulevard from exposure to headlights.

Guide for Development
. The Stock Ranch Guide for Development designates the land north of Arcade Creek as the “Auburn Commerce District”. The Guide for Development envisioned that the Auburn Commerce District would be developed with two large format retailers, complemented by a variety of medium to smaller users, including a single drive-thru use. The architectural design of the building, as well as the landscaping and pedestrian improvements, is ITEM 16
Agenda Packet Page 99
Subject: Stock Ranch – Guide for Development Amendment, Design Review Permit and Use Permit – Starbucks
Date: December 11, 2024

Page 7 of 8 ends

Printed on Recycled Paper
also in keeping with the overall vision expressed in the Guide for the Auburn Commerce District.

The project is consistent with the Stock Ranch Guide for Development as amended.

• The proposed use and project design complies with all applicable development standards of the Guide and Zoning Ordinance where applicable. • The building design, including materials, colors, height, bulk, size, and relief, and the arrangement of the structures on the site, is harmonious with other development and buildings in the vicinity and which is consistent with the applicable goals and policies set forth in the General Plan and the Guide for Development.

Staff has reviewed the plans for consistency with the development standards contained in both the Guide for Development and Zoning Code. The project is consistent with these documents.

• The project is of high quality design and conforms to the vision, development objectives and planning principles of the Stock Ranch Guide for Development. • The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings and structures have been considered, and that the use will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings or structures.

Staff believes that the proposed building and site layout is a high quality design that conforms to the vision, development objectives, and planning principles of the Guide for Development.

The adjacent buildings and uses have been considered in the design of this project. The closest sensitive uses to the site are the residential uses west and north of the project site. A key component of compatibility is determining if there would be any significant noise impacts from the project on adjoining residential uses.

Design Review Permit - Conclusion

As proposed and conditioned, staff believes the required findings can be made to approve the Design Review Permit for this project. Staff recommends approval of the Design Review Permit subject to the conditions of approval contained in the staff report.

BACKGROUND
The project site is located within the boundaries of the Stock Ranch Special Planning Area (SPA). This SPA adopted a Guide for Development that contains a land use concept, infrastructure and service plans, roadway improvements, design guidelines, and development regulations for approximately 129 acres of land. Arcade Creek runs through the property in an east-west fashion. North of Arcade Creek the Guide envisions development of a more than 400,000 square foot shopping center. The Guide refers to this area north of the creek as the “Auburn Commerce District”.

The Stock Ranch Guide for Development (“Guide”) was adopted by the City Council in February 2001.

In conjunction with adopting the Guide for Development, the City Council also rezoned the area within the Guide into the “Stock Ranch Special Planning Area”, certified an Environmental Impact Report and adopted a Mitigation Monitoring Program. In September 2002, the Planning Commission and City Council approved two minor amendments to the Guide for Development, approved a minor modification to the Mitigation Monitoring Program, approved the Development Agreement, and certified a Negative Declaration that tiered off the original EIR for the project. In February 2003, the City Council approved the overall conceptual site plan and architectural theme for the Auburn Commerce District. In February 2003, the City Council also approved a Development Plan Review Permit and Conditional Use Permit for the Costco Wholesale Warehouse. In February 2005, the City Council approved a Development Plan Review Permit for the Wal -Mart store; an EIR Addendum was also approved in conjunction with the Wal-Mart development. A site plan modification was also approved in 2015 and 2017.

The proposed project involves an Amendment of the Stock Ranch Guide For Development, Use Permit and Design Review Permit to allow for the construction of a new drive- through restaurant for Pad 7 in the Auburn Commerce District. The Stock Ranch Guide for Development allows for one drive- through restaurant in the Auburn Commerce District (with a Use Permit), this project will fulfill that allowance.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project includes an amendment to the Stock Ranch Guide for Development related to drive-through hours of operation. In addition to the amendment, the applicant requests a Use Permit and Design Review Permit to construct a new 2,305 square foot drive-through coffee shop in the Auburn Commerce District within the Stock Ranch SPA. The new ground-up store consists of drive-through service, an interior café, and an exterior patio area.

Vehicles will enter the project site from entrances to the east and west of the project site via Auburn Boulevard. The project will include dual drive-thru lanes with capacity for roughly 19 vehicles. The applicant is requesting hours of operation from 5:00 am to 11:00 pm daily.

GUIDE AMENDMENT (FILE #PLN-24-08)
The Stock Ranch Guide for Development (“Guide”) was adopted by the City Council in February 2001.

The adoption of the Guide was preceded by months of public workshops and public hearings involving the community, Planning Commission and City Council. In conjunction with adopting the Guide for Development, the City Council also rezoned the area within the Guide into the “Stock Ranch Special Planning Area”, certified an Environmental Impact Report and adopted a Mitigation Monitoring Program.

Amendment to Stock Ranch Guide for Development- Description of Request The Guide for Development includes the development standards for the entire Stock Ranch Planning Area. The applicant is specifically requesting an amendment related to the allowed hours of operation for fast-casual and drive-thru restaurants (See Redline/Strikeout Proposed Changes, Attachment 2).

One particular concern was the noise level from standard operations from the commercial center.

Residents were particularly worried about how the constant activity, including deliveries, customer traffic, and overall operations would disrupt neighboring areas. This concern was especially relevant to late hours.

In order to address this concern, the Guide has specific language and standards to ensure that certain uses do not operate beyond designated hours:

Fast-casual and drive-thru restaurants may be open from 6:00 am to 12:00 midnight and the drive-through window may remain open until 1:00 am. A noise analysis shall be provided for drivethrough restaurants to demonstrate that noise does not exceed City standards.

In order to meet customer needs, most Starbucks locations open between the hours of 4:30 a.m. and 6:00 a.m.. All existing Starbucks drive-through locations within Citrus Heights open at 4:30 a.m.

Fast-casual and drive-t
hrough restaurants may be open from 5:00 am 6:00 am to 12:00 midnight and the drive-through window may remain open until 1:00 am. A noise analysis shall be provided for drive- through restaurants to demonstrate that noise does not exceed City standards Amendment to Stock Ranch Guide for Development– A nalysis The Stock Ranch Guide for Development is largely focused on ensuring the compatibility of the center with the surrounding neighborhood. In particular, this standard is intended to prevent noise disturbances that can occur due to business operation.

Staff believes the proposed changes will still achieve the intent of the original guidelines and still comply with the existing noise standards for commercial operation. The Noise Analysis (Attachment 5) provides support that the noise levels of standard operation of the Starbucks Drive Through will not ITEM 16
Agenda Packet Page 105
6970 Auburn Boulevard – Starbucks at Stock Ranch
Planning Commission Meeting – October 22, 2024 Page 5

adversely affect the surrounding neighborhoods beyond existing ambient noise levels. The proposed change will also create consistent Starbucks customer experience amongst its other locations.

Amendment to Stock Ranch Guide for Development– Conclusion Staff believes the proposed amendment is consistent with the intent of the Guide for Development and recommend the Planning Commission recommend approval to the City Council.

USE PERMIT (FILE #PLN-24-08)
Use Permit- Description of Request
The applicant requests a Use Permit and Design Review Permit to construct a new 2,305 square foot drive-through coffee shop in the Auburn Commerce District within the Stock Ranch SPA. The project includes an amendment to the Guide for Development related to drive-through use hours of operation.

The new ground-up store consists of drive-through service, an interior café, and an exterior patio area.

The proposal also complies with other provisions of the Zoning Code and the Municipal Code relating to parking, setbacks, building height, and other applicable development standards of the Code.

Use Permit – Analysis
The drive-through component of this project requires approval of a Use Permit. The Citrus Heights Zoning Code (Section 106.62.050) requires that the Planning Commission must be able to make five findings before approving the Use Permit. The required findings are listed below in bold italics and are followed by an evaluation of the applicant’s request in relation to the required findings. • The proposed use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other applicable provisions of this Zoning Code, The Stock Ranch Guide for Development, and the Municipal Code;
• The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan; The zoning designation for the subject property is SPA (Stock Ranch Special Planning Area). Within this SPA, the project site is located in the Auburn Commerce District, which is the district designated to the parcels located along Auburn Boulevard. The Stock Ranch SPA allows for one (1) drive-through restaurant within the Auburn Commerce District with the approval of a Use Permit. Starbucks provides drive-through and walk-up service with indoor and outdoor seating, as well as, other site improvements including landscaping, lighting, walkways, parking, and off-site improvements.

A key component of the drive through standards is the length of stacking area for vehicles waiting for the drive through service. The proposed site can accommodate 19 vehicles within the drive through (over 200 feet in length), exceeding the Zoning Code requirement of a minimum of 120 feet as measured from the ordering box to the drive-through entrance.

The project is consistent with the General Plan. The project site has a General Plan designation of General Commercial (GC). In addition to a wide variety of commercial uses, the GC designation also allows retail uses such as restaurants and cafes. The General Plan, as discussed in greater detail in the Design Review Permit portion of this report, contains numerous goals and policies that support economic development and redevelopment of underutilized sites.

The project site is located south of Auburn Boulevard, east of Sylvan Road. Adjacent to the proposed drive-through restaurant are other retail commercial uses to the south and west, with residential neighborhoods to the east, and north across Auburn Boulevard.

The General Plan land use designation is General Commercial which provides for retail uses, services, restaurants, professional and administrative offices, and other similar and compatible uses. The proposed development of a retail complex is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of General Commercial. In addition the proposal is consistent with General Plan goals and policies that support viable and attractive development within major corridors and that encourage economic development. Some of the applicable General Plan goals and policies are as follows:

 Goal 10: Achieve attractive, inviting and functional corridors.

 Policy 10.1: Require superior architectural and functional site design features for new development projects along major corridors.

 Policy 10.9: Require upgraded architectural and landscape features on projects involving auto intensive facilities.

 Goal 17: Develop the Stock Ranch property with a mix of uses that enhance the City’s economic base, are compatible with surrounding land uses, and are sensitive to natural resources

Based upon the information above, staff believes the project meets the goals of the General Plan and the required finding.

• The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the facility are compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity.

The new building will be constructed in the north portion of the commercial center along Auburn Boulevard.

The new retail building will feature a coffee shop with drive-through service. The Stock Ranch Guide for Development allows for one drive- through restaurant in the Auburn Commerce District (with a Use Permit), this project will fulfill that allowance.

Circulation: The pr
oject includes two (2) drive through entrance lanes on the w est side of the parcel.

Vehicles can enter the project site using two drive aisles entering from Auburn Boulevard, one adjacent to the parcel to the east, and one to the west. The site plan indicates the entrances and exit of the drive- through service lane meets the development standards by providing the necessary separation between the drive-through lane and drive aisles. The drive- through lane is 12 feet wide, which exceeds the required 10 foot minimum, with a 32 foot radius. Adequate stacking area is provided with 170 feet of stacking from lane entrance to order screen, and 140 feet of stacking from order screen to pick up window, for a total of 310 feet of queuing. The proposal also complies with other provisions of the Zoning ITEM 16

Planning Commission Meeting – October 22, 2024 Page 5

Code and the Municipal Code relating to parking, setbacks, building height, and other applicable development standards of the Code.

Noise. The operating hours for the coffee shop are proposed to be 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. The drive- through operation includes the use of speakers at the menu board and speaker post. Therefore, due to the project’s proximity to noise-sensitive land uses, specifically the residential land uses located to the north and west of the proposed project, an acoustic analysis was conducted (Attachment 5). The project parcel is located adjacent to commercial land uses to the south and east, which are typically aren’t considered to be noise-sensitive. The analysis reviewed the proposed communication equipment and found noise from the ordering system will not significantly increase ambient noise levels at the nearby residential properties.

The pro
ject has proposed that the drive-through ordering system be outfitted with an automatic volume control that will fluctuate the volume control based upon the ambient noise (Condition of Approval #3).

The Noise Analysis evaluated the proposed ordering system and determined that the noise generated by the system is consistent with the city’s noise standards and does not result in a noise impact . In addition, to reduce amplified noise from queued vehicles, the applicant has proposed signage and operating standards within the Operating Agreement to restrict noise generated.

Lighting. The pr
oject will install lighting within the parking area and on the building. The fixtures on the building will be complimentary to the building’s design. All fixtures are required to be shielded and directed downwards to ensure that light does not spill onto neighboring properties or adversely affect nighttime views. A photometric plan for the project was submitted which demonstrates the proposed plan meets the city’s outdoor lighting regulations (Attachment 1).

Bas
ed upon the information discussed above, the design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the facility are compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity.

Design Review Permit - Analysis

The Stock Ranch Guide for Development requires that the Planning Commission make five findings before approving a Design Review Permit. The required findings are listed below in bold italics and are followed by an evaluation of the applicant’s request in relation to the required findings.

• The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and Stock Ranch Guide for Development.

General Plan. The General Plan designates this property General Commercial, which allows for commercial uses including restaurants. The project is consistent with many of the goals and policies of the General Plan, including Goals 10, 10.1, 10.2 and 17:

Goal
10: Achieve attractive, inviting and functional corridors.

Policy 10.1: Require superior architectural and functional site design features for new development projects along major corridors.

Policy 10.2: Design buildings to revitalize streets and public spaces and to enhance a sense of community and personal safety.

Goal 17: Develop the Stock Ranch property with a mix of uses that enhance the City’s economic base, are compatible with surrounding land uses, and are sensitive to natural resources

The site is located along Auburn Boulevard, one of the main commercial corridors in Citrus Heights.

The proposed coffee shop is consistent with the City’s goals and policies that support viable and attractive commercial development within major corridors and land use concepts and principles that encourage economic development in the community.

The Zoning Code provides drive-through facility standards such as queuing length and visibility of the service lane from the street. The project meets the drive-through standards including screening of the drive-through lane with the placement of landscaping and decorative low walls. The screening also protects vehicles traveling along Auburn Boulevard from exposure to headlights.

Guide for Development. The Stock Ranch Guide for Development designates the land north of Arcade Creek as the “Auburn Commerce District”. The Guide for Development envisioned that the Auburn Commerce District would be developed with two large format retailers, complemented by a variety of medium to smaller users. The architectural design of the building, as well as the landscaping and pedestrian improvements, is also in keeping with the overall vision expressed in the Guide for the Auburn Commerce District. The project is consistent with the Stock Ranch Guide for Development as amended.

• The pr oposed
use and project design complies with all applicable development standards of the Guide and Zoning Ordinance where applicable.

• The building design, including materials, colors, height, bulk, size, and relief, and the arrangement of the structures on the site, is harmonious with other development and buildings in the vicinity and which is consistent with the applicable goals and policies set forth in the General Plan and the Guide for Development.

Staff has reviewed the plans for consistency with the development standards contained in both the Guide for Development and Zoning Code. The project is consistent with these documents.

ITEM 16
Agenda Packet Page 109
6970 Auburn Boulevard – Starbucks at Stock Ranch
Planning Commission Meeting – October 22, 2024 Page 5

• The project is of high quality design and conforms to the vision, development objectives and planning principles of the Stock Ranch Guide for Development.

• The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings and structures have been considered, and that the use will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings or structures.

Staff believes that the proposed building and site layout is a high quality design that conforms to the vision, development objectives, and planning principles of the Guide for Development.

This noise study called for the construction of masonry walls on the east and west property lines of the larger Stock Ranch development; these walls have been constructed. With these walls in place, the noise study indicated this development would not exceed the thresholds provided for in the Noise Ordinance. In addition to the existing noise study, an additional noise study was completed for this specific project. The noise study indicated that the predicted drive -through operations which include drive-through vehicle passage, parking lot activity noise, and outdoor patio noise would be consistent with the Citrus Heights Municipal Code. The noise study also indicated that the drive -through menu speaker board noise levels and project drive- through lane vehicle are predicted to be well below the existing environment ambient noise.

The project also includes added routes that integrate with the existing walkways and trail system throughout the Stock Ranch Plaza. A key component of the Stock Ranch SPA is to integrate a cohesive and integrative mixed-use district that balances the physical development with the site’s natural resources. By providing connections to the already expansive pedestrian walkways and trail system, the project meets the development objectives and vision of the Guide for Development.

Design Review Permit - Conclusion

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW

An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified in conjunction with adoption of the Guide for Development. On September 18, 2002, the City Council approved a Negative Declaration that addressed several amendments to the Guide, Development Agreement, and Modification to Mitigation Monitoring Program. In 2005, the City Council adopted an EIR Addendum in conjunction with the Wal-Mart project.

The previously certified EIR, and the subsequently adopted Negative Declaration and EIR Addendum, serve as baseline environmental documents for this project.

In 2017, an Addendum to the EIR was prepared and adopted for the project as a result of site changes and reduction of buildable area beyond the impacts previously identified in the Stock Ranch EIR.

ITEM 16
Agenda Packet Page 110
6970 Auburn Boulevard – Starbucks at Stock Ranch
Planning Commission Meeting – October 22, 2024 Page 5

The proposed coffee shop with drive -through service is consistent with the EIR addendum and no further environmental review is required.

PUBLIC OUTREACH
Public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within 500 feet of the site. A Planning Commission Public Hearing notice was also published in the Citrus Heights Messenger. As noted earlier, the site is within the Arcade Creek Neighborhood Area (Area 4) which had no comments on the proposed land division.

RECOMMENDED MOTIONS
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take the following actions:

3. Recommend the City Council approve the Design Review Permit and Use Permit (File # PLN- 24-08) for the proposed coffee shop with drive-through service located at 6970 Auburn Boulevard subject to the findings contained in the staff report as per the conditions provided as Attachment 1A.
