Alberto Preciado, Finance Manager
SUBJ
ECT: Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/202 6 and 2026/2027 Biennial Budget Overview Discussion
Summary and Recommendation
Ci
ty Council (the Council) receive a presentation and provide feedback on preliminary FY 2025- 26 and FY 2026-27 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).

City
Council Strategic Goal
Th
e item aligns with the Citrus Heights City Council Strategic Objective to “Maintain and Enhance Fiscal Stability While Fostering Operational Excellence”.

Fi
scal Impact
Th
ere is no fiscal impact associated with the May 28th Budget Study Session. However, staff will use feedback received to further develop the FY 2026/FY 2027 Proposed Operating Budget and Proposed Capital Improvement Program, which are scheduled to be formally considered for adoption on June 11, 2025.

Complete fiscal impacts for both items will be shared with the Council and the public on May 28, 2025, and June 11, 2025, including an updated 10-Year Forecast so that future fiscal impacts of current actions can be fully understood and considered before final action is taken by the Council.

Ba
ckground and Analysis
Th
e City’s Biennial Budget serves as a strategic financial plan, outlining projected revenues and planned expenditures over a two-year period. It is designed to allocate resources efficiently while aligning with the City Council’s established priorities and policies. In addition to guiding ITEM 2
Agenda Packet Page 6
Subject: Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 Biennial Budget Overview Discussion Date: May 28, 2025

Printed on Recycled Paper
financial decisions, the budget acts as a performance evaluation tool—comparing past commitments to actual outcomes.

Fiscal Year 2024-25 represents the second year of the current biennial budget cycle, which was approved by the City Council in June 2023. The budgeting process is now underway for the upcoming biennium, covering Fiscal Years 2025-26 and 2026-27 (July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2027).

A proposed budget for this period was presented to the Finance Committee on May 12, 2025, and on May 23,2025. As part of the Finance Committee discussion on the overall budget, the allocation of community support funds was reviewed.

At the May 23
rd meeting, the Finance Committee developed a recommendation regarding allocation of Neighborhood Area Funds for City Council consideration. The Committee recommends shifting from the current approach—where staff proactively issues Neighborhood Area Funds—to a simple, annual application process for both REACH and individual Neighborhood Areas. The application would outline the group’s funding request, current unallocated funding balance, describe planned activities for the year, and include a proposed budget. At the end of each fiscal year, groups would submit a summary of completed activities.

Any unused funds from that year’s allocation would be returned to the City for potential reallocation to other community-serving purposes. This annual process is intended to support transparency and allow for more strategic use of available resources. Funding amounts available for overall REACH and Neighborhood Area administration support would remain consistent with prior year allocations, while any projects beyond that scope could be pursued through the Neighborhood Improvement Partnership Grant or Community Projects Grant programs.

As part of the upcoming budget workshop, the City’s Capital Improvement Program will be discussed. This item will be reviewed by the Planning Commission at its meeting on March 27, 2025. The agenda and supporting documents can be accessed on the City’s website at https://www.citrusheights.net/AgendaCenter/Citrus-Heights-Planning-Commission-Meeti- 4/?#_05272025-1517.

In the interest of transparency and sound financial stewardship, the City is conducting this budget workshop prior to final adoption on June 11, 2025. These sessions provide an opportunity to review the preliminary budget, offer input, and help shape the final plan. City staff will present the proposed General Fund operating budget along with select other funds organized around the City Council’s Strategic Priorities. We are pleased to report that the draft includes a balanced General Fund operating budget for both fiscal years. While this version reflects our current projections, refinements are ongoing as we continue to assess revenue and expenditure forecasts.

PUBLIC COMMENT
City Clerk Van read the following written public comment submitted by Alfred Sanchez, “It could be considered unethical for a public official to use derogatory language, such as calling someone ‘a pain in the ____,’ especially in a professional or public context. Public officials are expected to maintain a level of decorum and respect when interacting with constituents, even when disagreeing or facing criticism.

Such language could be seen as unprofessional and potentially abusive.”

11. SUBJECT: Consideration of Owner-initiated Specific Plan Amendment for the Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan
STAFF REPORT: C. Kempenaar / M. Huber
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council review the proposed informal application and the analysis contained within the Staff Report and provide feedback and direction to staff and the applicant.

City Manager Feeney explained this item is for review and comment by providing the opportunity to hear Council and public feedback on the proposed project prior to a full analysis and formal application.

Community Development Director Kempenaar gave a presentation on the proposed Specific Plan Amendment for the Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan for the City Council’s feedback. He stated this is not a formal application, it is an informal opportunity to review a preliminary application and give some feedback. He stated in 2024, Ethan Conrad Properties submitted a site plan for consideration and review that included a Home Depot and a mix of drive-through uses, some repurposing of existing building with a Sunrise Montessori and a national bowling tenant. Since that time the applicant conducted community outreach to the neighborhood areas and community groups. In response to the feedback received, Ethan Conrad Properties has reduced the number of quick service drive-throughs from eight to six over three phases, they added an open space event area in phase two, they identified a three-acre location for housing in phase two. They clarified limits of storage would be limited to just basement area of existing buildings and they also eliminated light industrial uses. The Specific Plan does not allow drive-through businesses, and does not allow building and landscape material sales. The applicant has requested a reduction of open space requirements. The Plan currently has an open space target of 30 to 40% in areas three and four. The applicants proposal in phase one is no open space and about 1 acre of open space in phase two, which would represent about 4% of the 25 acre site requirement. He highlighted the specific General Plan and Specific Plan policies that are directly impacted by the proposed amendments.

He stated there are three choices for City Council direction as follows:

1. Direct Applicant to proceed with Formal Specific Plan Amendment as described in Project Description;

2. Determine the Council is not interested in entertaining a formal Specific Plan Amendment; or

3. Provide Direction to the Applicant to proceed with a Formal Specific Plan Amendment with a modified version of application.

Ethan Conrad of Ethan Conrad Properties addressed the Council and presented an overview of his proposal to amend the Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan to bring in a Home Depot, In-N-Out and more.

Dan Zoldak with Lars Andersen & Associates representing Home Depot spoke in support of the proposed Specific Plan Amendment and responded to questions from Council Members.

Daniel P., Development Manager from In-n-Out addressed the Council and spoke in support of the proposed Specific Plan Amendment and responded to questions from Council Members.

The second comment would be I think you need to recognize what is the definition of success and in this particular case I think the mission statement for the Sunrise Tomorrow Plan defines what success is.

Elaine Forsberg spoke in opposition to the proposed amendment.

Tony Wood, of EXP Commercial Real Estate and representing the owners of Sunrise Rollerland, spoke in support of the proposed amendment.

John Bain spoke in opposition to the proposed amendment.

Janis Jacox stated in the long run there will need to be some compromises on the Sunrise Tomorrow Plan. She wouldn’t mind one or two drive-throughs on the property, but not first, let some things grow organically. She doesn’t believe it is a good location for a Home Depot. She is not again against changing some aspects of the Plan.

City Clerk Van read the following written public comment submitted by David Warren, “I oppose the proposed amendments to the Sunrise Tomorrow development plan in that there has not been a substantial improvement in Conrad Properties proposal to conform to the intent of the development plan.

It is irrefutable that action must be taken to obtain the highest and best use for the Sunrise Mall property redevelopment in light of the fact that (1) shopping malls across the country are failing; (2) the economy is tenuous; and (3) the loss of all but one of the mall’s anchor stores. However, urgent need does not equate to approving an unacceptable proposal which fails to provide for the needs of the community. The redevelopment of the property should be focused upon mixed use, including residential, recreational, dining, retail shopping and open space. Instead, Conrad Properties proposes putting lipstick on a pig by constructing another big box store, a bowling alley and nominal retail space. Essentially, Conrad wants to ITEM 6
Agenda Packet Page 13
Citrus Heights City Council Wednesday, April 23, 2025

Printed on Recycled Paper
build a 20th Century shopping space in the 21st Century. Most importantly, the proposal addresses only a small portion of the mall property, with no assurance of appropriate redevelopment of the remainder of the property. The amendment should be rejected until a proposal is presented that addresses redevelopment of the entire mall property consistent with the Sunrise Tomorrow development plan. It is better to wait for a satisfactory redevelopment plan than a proposal which will require replacement in a few years, thus putting an albatross around the neck of the city. The amendment should be rejected.”

City Clerk Van read the following written public comment submitted by Christine Romero, “I’m writing to share my voice at tonight’s CH City Council Meetinf as I’m in able to attend due to an employment meeting. I’m a resident of Fair Oaks and resident near the CVS on Greenback Lane. I’m greatly concerned with the proposed amendment by the developer for the Sunrise Mall Tomorrow plan. My concern is adding fast food establishments and automotive facilities will cause severe traffic congestion on Sunrise Blvd. which is already a high traffic area. Additionally, there are already a large number of fast food establishments in close proximity. These proposed establishments would also bring down the value of our homes. As a homeowner in an unpredictable economy right now I’m very concerned this plan will be detrimental to our homes located in the Marquee and surrounding areas. Please strongly take this into consideration.”

City Clerk Van read the following written public comment submitted by Christine Foreman, “The sunrise tomorrow evolution plan will not benefit the people of Citrus Heights or the surrounding communities. We don't need more fast food or big box stores. The traffic is already a problem and with the addition of the proposed businesses, it will only get worse. I support the original Sunrise Tomorrow Plan. I believe this will enhance our city and make Citrus Heights a destination.”

City Clerk Van read the following written public comment submitted by Tucker Harrison, “Please do not adopt the revised Sunrise Tomorrow plan. We have the rare opportunity and land asset that many towns only dream of. Please use this opportunity to turn Citrus Heights into a destination similar to other success stories like Santana Row in Santa Clara and The Fountains in Roseville.”

City Clerk Van read the following written public comment submitted by Amy Church, “Community spaces are important. Part of the reason I moved to Citrus Heights is because I didn't feel like I was living in the middle of a parking lot here. Reducing the minimum allocation for open/community space shows that the developer is not presenting these amendments for the good of our community, but rather as a way to line their own pockets. The proposed removal of maximum retail square footage allocation, and the promotion of big box stores, like a Home Depot further proves this. These types of businesses displace and prevent local businesses from thriving, and contribute to overwhelming traffic. They also make areas less walkable, which goes against the initial plans that our neighbors support for a reason. Increasing the number of drive-throughs not only contributes to the issues I already stated, but also would make this center a place for transient stops, when we need a place where community members can gather for more than just a stop on their way elsewhere. Not to mention the environmental impacts that these plans would contribute to. These amendments go directly against the goal to become a destination in Citrus Heights. I don't know about you, but I've never sat around with friends and family to think of a local destination we could go spend the day at, and had anyone suggest a hub with Home Depot as it's main attraction.”

City Clerk Van read written public comment submitted by Merilee Tafua, “I live right next to the Sunrise Mall and like most residents, want this project to be completed yesterday, BUT I also am still 100% behind the city’s adopted Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan (STSP). Our city is at a crossroads. Either we hang tough and truly make the site the “heart of the city” like the STSP envisions, or we take the easy ITEM 6

road and end up with something more akin to “heart disease”. Tweaks to the plan may be needed, but Ethan Conrad’s proposed amendments are not tweaks, they are completely inconsistent with the STSP policies. Please do not give in!”

City Clerk Van read the following written public comment submitted by Diane Sommer, “I am not in favor of a Home Depot as anchor surrounded by fast food restaurants, etc. The mall is in the center of Citrus Heights and whatever goes in there should be something that makes the city a better place, something that is attractive and appealing, that will attract people. Fountains in Roseville is a good example of such a place. Plus, it is always busy. A Home Depot and more fast food will detract from the area. Thank you.”

City Clerk Van read the following written public comment submitted by Rachel Abbott, “Our civic society should focus on what benefits and enriches lives of citizens – a mixed-use project that emphasizes the needs of people from senior citizens, walkability, small business is the moral and socially responsible choice. The Medicis believed in the purpose of art and design and copied the Roman ideas that ‘public squalor leads to private opulence’. If we don’t create our towns and cities as laces where the wealthy enjoy living in being in they will make private luxuries and spend money on that. Our civic institutions have the opportunity to create a walkable, beautiful ‘third place’ – something that car-centered California is short on. Studies have shown that the most desirable cities offer beautiful public spaces – please don’t develop a row of six fast-food places. All my neighbors oppose.”

City Clerk Van read the following written public comment submitted by Sam Lucero, “On Sunrise Blvd we have almost every fast-food joint. We don’t need more. However, we have no movie theaters and no venues. The property at Sunrise Mall would be an amazing location for both. It would bring value and tax money to our city as well. He also asked why Home Depot is important with Lowes right across the street?”

City Clerk Van read the following written public comment submitted by Sayra Flores, “Don’t amend specific general plan, don’t cave into Conrad, no Home Depot. People of Citrus Heights deserve a better place to gather, connect, enjoy entertainment. We want vision.”

City Clerk Van read the following written public comment submitted by Matthew Dittrich, “The proposal of Ethan Conrad lacks creativity to address the vision of the Sunrise Tomorrow. He has complete disregard of the Sunrise Tomorrow Plan and offers his experience and plan as the only possible solution for development. It seems he has found a quick and relatively simple approach to maximize his investment to benefit his business rather than the City of Citrus Heights. He states he likes challenges then let’s have him work within the vision of the Sunrise Tomorrow.”

City Clerk Van read the following written public comment submitted by Kevin Cadinha, “I own a store in Sunrise mall and us business owners have been excited about the prospect. Pushing this project back will mean the death of my small business and other small business owners in the mall. We will be forced our of Citrus Heights. My store has been in the mall for 20 plus years, I have owned it for five. Please consider Ethan Conrad’s plan.”

City Clerk Van read the following written public comment submitted by Donna Kincannon, “Thank you for the excellent questions by the Council Members to Ethan Conrad and others. It seems that Mr. Conrad wants a peacemeal approval process for his development. What will happen to the rest of the property after phase one and two. What did the Council Members learn from visiting the projects in Colorado. On the map of the property the event space to the left of the Macy’s men’s store, what kind of events will ITEM 6

PUBLIC COMMENT

Alfred Sanchez commended Police Chief Turcotte, Lt. Dunning, City Clerk Van, City Manager Feeney and City Attorney Jones on their exceptional professionalism, assistance and respectful demeanor.

City Clerk Van read a portion of the following written public comment submitted by Lisa Crouchley of Riebes Auto Parts, “Auburn Boulevard has an ongoing beautification project that we all know about. Did you know that it’s gonna take out half of our parking lot and that our freight delivery trucks will not be able to get in or out of our parking lot during our normal delivery hours because of it? I think not. We get three freight liner deliveries a day and one at night, every day and every night. If you put a center divide in front of 8200 Auburn Blvd. you will be impeding our business from being able to carry out its necessary functions. I told this to your planners 3 years ago when you came and asked us about the project. I saw them mark up our parking lot and half of our parking lot is gonna go away. Our freight liners, PG&E service trucks and customers are barely gonna fit for our to have room to park and we’re gonna need to redo our parking lot to fit your needs but what about us? Our business that has supported Citrus Heights for 64 years needs help. How are you gonna help us with this transition? How am I gonna get my deliveries and give the customers in our city the car parts they need to get back on the road? Do not take out the suicide lane & put a center divide.” (The remainder of the statement shown below was not read aloud, due to exceeding the 250-word limit. The entire statement was forwarded to staff and the City Council.)
“We need it for our freight liner trucks who will now have to do their deliveries from that lane into our parking lot bcuz of the parking lot reduction for your new and improved sidewalks. Our freight trucks need the suicide lane!! During the daytime they pull into our parking lot, which will be completely demolished for a sidewalk. At night time they have to back up and block both lanes of traffic to back in on oak grove Ave. Where our deliveries go. I am asking for change and action to happen immediately. Maybe not today but definitely before they build it. Please help. Monique Howard is the manager at our store. She doesn’t like to make waves, but when I see how much it’s gonna impact our customers, our business, and our deliveries, I am not afraid to say something. Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope you can help come to a compromise in this matter. Sincerely Lisa Crouchley. If you would like to talk more about it, please shoot me an email or call me.”

CT: AB 481- Annual Renewal of Military Equipment Policy for the Police Department and Review of Annual Report
Summary and Recommendation
Ass
embly Bill 481 (AB 481) requires law enforcement agencies (LEAs) to obtain explicit approval from their governing bodies before funding, acquiring, or utilizing military equipment.

On May 12, 2022, the Citrus Heights City Council took a significant step by adopting the Citrus Heights Police Department (CHPD) Military Equipment Use Policy through Ordinance 2022- 005, establishing a framework for responsible oversight of such equipment.

In al
ignment with the mandates of AB 481, the CHPD is obligated to submit an annual military equipment report (the Annual Report) to the City Council within a year of the policy's approval and continue to do so each subsequent year as long as the military equipment remains operational. This report is designed to fulfill legal requirements and promote transparency by being made publicly accessible. Additionally, the CHPD will host a community engagement session wherein residents can actively engage with police personnel, ask pertinent questions about the Annual Report, and discuss broader issues related to funding and the deployment of military equipment. Each year, the City Council is also responsible for reviewing the Military Equipment Use Policy, ensuring adherence to the standards delineated in Ordinance 2022-005.

CHP
D submitted the most recent Annual Report to the City Council and the public on May 7, 2025. Department staff attended a dedicated community engagement session on May 21, 2025, to facilitate community interaction. Based on the findings and compliance with the outlined requirements, staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2025-____ a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, renewing the Police Department's Military Equipment Use Policy.

The financial management surrounding military equipment remains consistent with prior years, ensuring that the budgetary allocations are sustainable and transparent.

Background and Analysis

AB 481 broadly defines "military equipment" as including various items, some of which may not have direct military origins. This equipment encompasses but is not limited to crewless aerial and ground vehicles, armored vehicles, command-and-control vehicles, pepper ball launchers, less lethal shotguns, 40mm projectile launchers, and flashbang devices. The categorization intends to clarify what constitutes military equipment so that appropriate legislative safeguards can be applied.

The Citrus Heights Police Department commits itself to utilizing innovative and advanced tools and equipment to enhance public safety within the community. Many items classified as "military equipment" are critical for operational effectiveness and are employed by various LEAs nationwide, specifically designed to manage situations that pose a risk to officers or the public while minimizing the potential for escalation into lethal encounters. The strategic use of such tools allows officers to approach critical incidents with greater preparedness, ultimately working to safeguard the community and its residents.

CHPD's Annual Report, which is available for review (see Attachment 1), comprises several key elements:

1. A comprehensive summary of the military equipment's use, detailing the operational context and intended purposes.

2. An overview of community complaints or concerns about the military equipment.

3. Findings from internal audits that examine adherence to the military equipment use policy, including any violations and the corresponding corrective actions taken by the department.

4. A detailed financial breakdown of the total annual costs associated with each type of military equipment, encompassing acquisition, personnel, training, transportation, maintenance, storage, equipment upgrades, ongoing fees, and identifying funding sources for the upcoming calendar year.

5. Quantitative data on the current inventory of military equipment, specifying the amounts of each type.

6. Forward-looking information on any planned acquisitions for additional military equipment in the upcoming year, including targeted quantities and the rationale for such requests.

Throughout the past year, the police department has effectively administered its military equipment by AB 481, following guidelines established in Government Code section 7072(a) and abiding by the Citrus Heights Police Lexipol Policy 708.

l Impact
All-American Construction, Inc.’s base bid for the project is $3,921,115.00. This bid is based upon estimated quantities, which may vary due to actual field conditions. Ultimately, the Contractor is paid for actual work completed based upon the unit price bid, which may require the approval of a change order. Change orders for amounts less than 15% of the total contract price shall require prior written approval of the City Manager or his designee. Change orders for ITEM 10

amounts equal to or greater than 15% of the total contract price shall require prior approval of the City Council.

The bid proposal documents identified the total Base Bid price as the basis for comparison and award of a contract. However, the bid package included two additive alternate (AA) bid items, which provide for improvements to storm drain systems on Villa Oak Drive (AA#1) and construction of a ditch along Arcade Cripple Creek Trail, north of Olivine Avenue (AA#2). After reviewing the proposed bids, staff recommends the City Council award AA bid items 1 and 2 in addition to the base contract. These costs are summarized in the table below.

There is no fiscal impact to the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024/2025 or FY 2025/2026 budget. The full funding for the project is summarized in the following tables, consistent with the current 5-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and approved 2-year budget for “Pavement Restoration Program.”

Background and Analysis

Historically, the City has performed accessibility and drainage improvement projects as a predecessor to annual street resurfacing project, as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and in conformance with the City’s ADA Transition Plan. In addition, prior to resurfacing roadways, it has been the City’s practice to perform sidewalk, curb, gutter and underground storm drain pipe repairs.

On December 14, 2023, the City Council approved the Pavement Restoration plan for 2025 through 2027. The scope of work for the 2025 Accessibility and Drainage Project includes necessary upgrades to the existing storm drain system, repair damaged sidewalk locations, reconstruct curb ramps to current standards and construct new curb ramps when required for compliance with the ADA.

ITEM 10
Agenda Packet Page 72
As part of the evaluation of the 2025 Pavement Preservation Program, the design team reviews the following:
• condition of existing underground storm drain pipes,
• ADA compliance of existing sidewalks and curb ramps,
• the City’s Multi-Modal Transportation Safety Program (MMTSP) for potential safety improvements and calls for service (service requests) from residents

This review determines and quantifies necessary upgrades to the City’s storm drainage, sidewalk network and residential roadway striping in advance of roadway resurfacing to avoid unnecessary cuts or trenching within newly resurfaced roadways. As a result, this Project includes construction of 128 accessible curb ramps to comply with ADA requirements, miscellaneous concrete and drainage repairs and enhanced residential striping. Bidding the accessibility and drainage Project separately from the resurfacing Project allows for more accurate cost analysis and specialized contractor expertise as well as minimizing contractor markup costs.

On September 5, 2024, City staff issued a task order to Coastland Civil Engineering, LLP, one of the City’s on-call engineering firms, to prepare all necessary construction bid documents for the Project, as outlined in the City’s Pavement Preservation Plan.

The Project was advertised on April 8, 2025, and construction bids were received and read aloud on May 6, 2025. A total of three bids were received and after a thorough analysis, staff determined that All-American Construction, Inc.’s bid of $3,921,115.00 was the lowest responsive bid based on the prices submitted. The complete bid results are shown in the following table:

Bidder Base Bid

All-American Construction, Inc. $3,921,115.00 $172,000.00 $4,093,115.00 FBD Vanguard Construction, Inc. $4,214,024.00 $83,476.00 $4,297,500.00 R&R Pacific Construction $4,980,334.00 - $4,980,334.00
The engineer’s estimate for the base bid of this project was $5,420,550.00.

Staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with All-American Construction, Inc. for construction of the 2025 Accessibility and Drainage Project.

The Project constructed the following key components:

• Buffered bicycle lanes
• New sidewalk on the east side of the roadway
• Traffic signals upgrades
• New street lighting on the east side of the street to increase nighttime safety • Upgrades to the existing storm drain infrastructure
• Roadway resurfacing
• Enhanced transit stops including upgrades for ADA compliance

The Project is identified as a priority in the City’s adopted Pedestrian Master Plan (Link:

Fiscal Impact

There is no direct impact on the City’s General Fund. Contract services will be paid from the City’s CDBG Revolving Loan Fund (Fund 235) and CalHOME Reuse Fund (Funds 231, 232, 233). Loan repayments received by the City are reinvested into the program to support new loans.

The CDBG Revolving Loan Fund is supported when the City issues housing repair loans using federal CDBG funds. As borrowers repay these loans, including any accrued interest, the funds are returned to the account and new loans are issued, creating a self-sustaining funding source for continued housing repair activities.

CalHOME funds are grant funds awarded by the State of California of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The City was awarded CalHOME grants in 2003, 2008, and 2015, to support owner-occupied housing rehabilitation or downpayment assistance programs. As loan repayments are received, they are deposited into a CalHOME Reuse account, which must be used for additional deferred loans. These funds may not be used as grants in accordance with state program guidelines.

06-CalHOME Fund 379,944.86
14-CalHOME Fund 293,470.78
TOTAL $902,636.89

Background and Analysis

Since 2000, the City has issued a total of 264 housing rehabilitation loans and 51 accessibility grants to assist low-income homeowners with necessary home repairs. As of 2025, City staff actively monitors 50 housing rehabilitation loans annually, in compliance with funding requirements.

Loans are required to be paid in full if the property is sold, no longer serves as the borrower’s principal residence, or otherwise does not meet the loan terms of the agreement. In some cases, loans are also paid off when a homeowner chooses to refinance their mortgage. All loan repayments are deposited into a designated reuse account, which allows the City to reinvest the funds into additional housing repair loans.

In addition to the City’s Housing Repair Loan Program, the City also administers a Critical Home Repair Grant Program. The program is designed to assist mobilehome homeowners by ITEM 12
Agenda Packet Page 82
funding essential health and safety repairs, replacement of major systems, accessibility improvements and weatherization and energy efficiency upgrades.

While City staff provides overall oversight of the programs, the City contracts with a consultant to handle key administrative functions, including applicant intake, income eligibility, underwriting, and construction oversight. The City has contracted with Michael Baker International in previous years to deliver these services.

Evaluation of Submitted Proposals

• On February 12, 2025, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for administration of the City’s Housing Repair Loan Program. In response, one proposal was received from NeighborWorks Sacramento Region.

• Their proposal was a focused proposal supporting specific program components, including income eligibility verification, loan servicing, and HUD-certified counseling, which would enroll participants in a first-time homebuyer education course. The proposal did not include all the services necessary to deliver the program.

• On March 21, 2025, the City released a second RFP to broaden outreach to consultants capable of managing the overall administration of the City’s Home Repair Program. Michael Baker International submitted a comprehensive proposal addressing all aspects of the RFP.

Michael Baker International’s proposal included full program administration in compliance with applicable funding requirements. Their scope of work covers applicant intake and eligibility determination, preparation of loan agreements and construction contract packets, as well as oversight of construction activities throughout the repair process.

Following a thorough evaluation, staff recommend entering into a contract with Michael Baker International for the administration of the City’s Housing Repair Loan Program. If approved, the contract will be effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028, with the option to renew annually for a maximum term of five years, subject to funding availability.

The proposed budget is as follows:

684,783.89
Administration (Loans, Applicant
Qualifying, Project Management, etc.)
217,853.00
TOTAL $902,636.89

The fees outlined in the table above are based on a 36-month performance period and estimate the processing of 12 to 15 loans, each with an average maximum of $60,000. In addition, if ITEM 12

Budget Breakdown
City of Citrus Heights Home Repair Loan Program Administration 1 Proposed Fees
These price quotations are subject to a 5% increase each year.

Other Direct Costs (ODC): Binders and Delivery Flash Drives, and other related costs $1,557 Assumptions
Michael Baker understands that funding sources have different allowances for administration and program delivery. The program would primarily be funded with CalHome fund s. A portion of funds will include Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and/or revolving funding from previous CDBG funded Home Loan Repair Programs. If additional funding sources are added to the program, Michael Baker and the ITEM 12
Agenda Packet Page 101

Budget Breakdown
City of Citrus Heights Home Repair Loan Program Administration 2 City would discuss amendments to the Project contract and adjustments of the fees represented in the table above based on the added funding sources and the maximum percentages allowed for administration and program delivery per each funding source pursuant to HUD and the California Department of Housing and Community Development requirements.

The fees represented in the table above assume performance over 18-months and the processing of a total of 12 loans with an average maximum of $60,000 which would include asbestos and lead hazard evaluations and remediation costs that are connected to an existing CalHome and/or CDBG application.

Michael Baker assumes that if additional Michael Baker staff time may be necessary beyond the established budget to perform the tasks listed above, we will notify the City immediately and work with the City to seek a mutually agreeable budget augmentation. To reduce costs beyond those proposed, Michael Baker recommends modifying certain aspects of the CalHome process.

Examples of modifications include a shorter application, fewer financial verification requirements, the applicant independently obtaining thr ee bids and selecting a contractor, or the applicant independently signing the construction contract. Michael Baker would be happy to discuss these options further.

CITY OF CITRUS HEIGHTS

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

MEMORANDUM
DATE: Ma
y 28, 2025
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
Ashley J. Feeney, City Manager
FROM
: Casey Kempenaar, Community Development Director
Meghan Huber, Economic Development & Community Engagement Director
Alison Bermudez, Senior Planner
SUBJE
CT: Zoning Code and Specific Plan Amendments
Summa
ry and Recommendation
As p
art of the Economic Development Work Plan (EDWP) effort adopted by the City Council on February 12, 2025, the City reviewed several key regulatory documents — the Zoning Ordinance, The Boulevard Plan, and the Stock Ranch Guide for Development. Based on this review, the Community Development and Economic Development & Community Engagement departments are proposing amendments to streamline zoning and permitting procedures.

Zoning r
egulations play a key role in guiding where and how businesses can operate. While they help protect the environment and prevent land use conflicts, it’s also important to ensure they don’t create unnecessary barriers that restrict business growth.

By updat
ing these regulations, the City aims to further support business growth. While Citrus Heights already offers straightforward zoning and permitting processes, there’s always room for improvement. Feedback from the development community and internal analysis informed these recommendations. The proposed changes focus on streamlining approvals, increasing flexibility, and making the rules easier to understand — all with the goal of attracting diverse businesses, repurposing existing spaces, and promoting long-term economic vitality.

The P
lanning Commission unanimously recommended the following motions:

Moti
on 1: Move to determine the proposed amendments are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines; and
ITEM 13

Motion 3: Move to adopt the attached Resolution No. 2025-_____ a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Repealing and Replacing Appendix B of the Stock Ranch Guide for Development and Amending Figure

3.4 of The Boulevard Plan

Fiscal Impact

Although these amendments do not have a direct fiscal impact, they are designed to help attract, retain, and grow businesses—contributing to a vibrant community and, over time, expanding the tax base.

City Council Strategic Goal/Objective

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

Goal: Diversify for a Vibrant Economy
Objective: Prepare and present an Economic Development Work Plan to City Council, as well as establish a suite of incentives to attract sit-down dining and entertainment options.

Background and Analysis

To support the City Council’s strategic goal of “Diversifying for a Vibrant Economy,” the City adopted the 2025–2027 Economic Development Work Plan (EDWP) (www.citrusheights.net/1399) on February 12, 2025. This plan provides a policy framework to encourage business development and improve regulatory processes.

The recommendations outlined below are grounded in extensive outreach to the business and development community and directly aligned with the approved "Improve Regulatory Processes to Support Business Development" category of the 2025–2027 Economic Development Work Plan. Outreach conducted in late 2024 included surveys, interviews, and analysis of inquiries from property owners, developers, brokers, and prospective business owners. Feedback revealed challenges with navigating zoning thresholds, permitting complexity, and third-party agency requirements, particularly in adapting aging commercial spaces for modern uses. Informed by this input, City staff identified actionable improvements and formally incorporated them into the EDWP under the Business Attraction & Development Services focus area. The subcategory “Streamline City Zoning and Permit Processes to Support Business Recruitment and Retail- Compatible Uses” includes approved implementation steps, now reflected in the proposed amendments, form a foundational component of the EDWP to reduce regulator barriers to development and directly support the Council’s strategic goal to diversify the economy.

City staff conducted a comprehensive review of three key zoning documents:

ITEM 13
Agenda Packet Page 113
• The Zoning Code
• The Boulevard Plan
• The Stock Ranch Guide for Development

An overview of each of the amended documents is provided below.

Zoning Code
The Zoning Code provides the framework for the City’s orderly growth and ensures that different types of development coexist harmoniously. As community needs evolve, the Zoning Code must also adapt to support economic growth with minimal regulatory burden.

Amendments are proposed to the following sections:
• Section 106.22.030.A.4 (new)
• Table 2-5 – Commercial Land Use Table
• Chapter 8 – Definitions

These changes aim to:
• Expand allowable land uses
• Streamline the permitting process
• Align terminology and definitions across planning documents

This update supports the Economic Development Work Plan, particularly:
• Action I: Improve Regulatory Processes to Support Business Development o Subsection a: Streamline City Zoning and Permit Processes to Support Business Recruitment and Retail-Compatible Uses

A redline version of the Zoning Code changes is included as Attachment 1, and a summary of each change is provided in Attachment 4.

Stock Ranch Guide for Development
The Stock Ranch area covers approximately 129 acres in the central portion of the City, bordered by Auburn Boulevard (north) and Sylvan Road (east).

Adopted in 2001, the Stock Ranch Guide originally used land use categories based on the County's Zoning Code. In 2006, the City adopted its own Zoning Code with updated and simplified land use classifications which resulted in some inconsistencies in terminology.

To align with the current Code, the proposed update will:
• Replace the existing land use table with one that is consistent with the terminology in City’s current Zoning Code related to land uses and definitions • Expand allowed uses
• Streamline permitting for select uses to better meet modern business needs

This update reflects feedback from the development community and supports the Economic Development Work Plan, particularly:
• Action I: Improve Regulatory Processes to Support Business Development ITEM 13
Agenda Packet Page 114
o Subsection a: Streamline City Zoning and Permit Processes to Support Business Recruitment and Retail-Compatible Uses

Attachment 2 provides the updated land use table for the Stock Ranch Guide for Development and Attachment 5 is a cross-reference of current land uses with their new classifications, along with the proposed changes that support the Economic Development Work Plan (EDWP).

The Boulevard Plan
The Auburn Boulevard Corridor, extending from Sylvan Corners north to the City limits, is another key focus area for economic development. To guide its revitalization, the City adopted The Boulevard Plan in 2005.

This specific plan envisions:
• A vibrant, mixed-use corridor
• Redevelopment of aging commercial areas
• Infrastructure improvements, including the Complete Streets Project currently underway

As part of the Economic Development Work Plan, the land use table within The Boulevard Plan has been reviewed and updated to:
• Ensure consistency with the City’s Zoning Code
• Streamline the permitting process
• Support retail and business-friendly development

These changes contribute to the City’s long-term vision for a thriving Auburn Boulevard Corridor and support the Economic Development Work Plan, particularly:
• Action I: Improve Regulatory Processes to Support Business Development o Subsection a: Streamline City Zoning and Permit Processes to Support Business Recruitment and Retail-Compatible Uses

A redlined version of the proposed changes to the Boulevard Plan is provided with Attachment 3 and Attachment 5 includes a summary of all changes.

April 22
nd Planning Commission Meeting
At its April 22 meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed amendments, including both the key changes outlined above and the full set of revisions. The Commission voted unanimously to forward the proposed updates for City Council approval. A copy of the Planning Commission Staff Report is provided as Attachment 6 and includes a link to the meeting recording.

Environmental Review
This project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b) (3)) in that adoption of the proposed changes will not result in any impacts on the physical environment; and under the general rule that the proposed amendments to the Municipal Code do not have the potential to have a significant effect on the environment.

CHAPTER 106.22 - DEVELOPMENT AND LAND USE APPROVAL REQUIREMENTS

DEVELOPMENT AND LAND USE APPROVAL REQUIREMENTS

Sections:

106.22.010 - Purpose
106.22.020 - General Requirements for Development and New Land Uses 106.22.030 - Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements 106.22.040 - Exemptions from Planning Permit Requirements 106.22.050 - Temporary Uses

106.22.010 - Purpose 106.22.010

This Chapter describes the City’s requirements for the approval of proposed development and new land uses. The permit requirements established by this Zoning Code for specific land uses are in Chapters 106.24 through 106.30.

106.22.020 - General Requirements for Development and New Land Uses 106.22.020

Each land use and/or structure shall be established, constructed, reconstructed, altered, moved or replaced in compliance with the following requirements.

A. Allowable use. The land use must be allowed by this Zoning Code in the zoning district applied to the site. The basis for determining whether a use is allowable is described in Section 106.22.030 (Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements).

B. Permit and approval requirements. Any planning permit or other approval required by Section 106.22.030 (Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements) shall be obtained before the issuance of any required grading, building, or other construction permit, and before the proposed use is constructed, otherwise established or put into operation, unless the proposed use is listed in Section 106.22.040 (Exemptions from Planning Permit Requirements).

C. Development standards, conditions of approval. Each land use and structure shall comply with the development standards of this Chapter, the provisions of Article 3 (Site Planning and Project Design Standards), and any applicable conditions imposed by a previously granted planning permit.

D. Legal parcel. The site of a proposed development or new land use shall be a parcel that was legally created in compliance with the Subdivision Map Act and the City’s subdivision ordinances.

106.22.030 - Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements 106.22.030

A. Allowable land uses. The uses of land allowed by this Zoning Code in each zoning district are listed in Chapters 106.24,Table 2-2, and 106.26, Table 2- 5, together with the type of planning permit required for each use. Each land use listed in Tables 2-2 and 2-5 is defined in Article 8 (Glossary).

1. Establishment of an allowable use.

a. Any one or more land uses identified by Tables 2- 2 and 2- 5 as being allowable within a specific zoning district may be established on any parcel within that zoning district, subject to the planning permit requirements of Subsection B., and compliance with all applicable requirements of this Zoning Code.

b. Where a single parcel is proposed for development with two or more of the land uses listed in the tables, the overall project shall be subject to the highest permit level required by Subsection B. for any individual use. For example, a new building proposed in the BP zoning district with a health club ITEM 13
Agenda Packet Page 121
on the ground floor and professional offices on the second floor would require Use Permit (UP) approval because Table 2-5 requires Use Permit approval for "fitness/health facility," even though an "Office" is listed in the BP zone as a permitted use, requiring only a Zoning Clearance.

2. Use not listed.

a.

106.26.020 - Purposes of Commercial and Industrial Zoning Districts 106.26.030 - Commercial and Industrial District Land Uses and Permit Requirements 106.26.040 - Commercial and Industrial District General Development Standards

106.26.010 - Purpose 106.26.010

This Chapter lists the land uses that may be allowed within the commercial and industrial zoning districts established by Section 106.20.020 (Zoning Map and Zoning Districts), determines the type of planning permit/approval required for each use, and provides basic standards for site layout and building size.

106.26.020 - Purposes of Commercial and Industrial Zoning Districts 106.26.020

The purposes of the individual commercial and industrial zoning districts and the manner in which they are applied are as follows.

A. BP (Business and Professional Office) district. The BP zoning district is applied to areas appropriate for various types of office uses, together with similar and related compatible uses. Multi-unit housing and mixed-use projects may be allowed. The BP zoning district is consistent with and implements the Business Professional land use designation of the General Plan.

B. LC (Limited Commercial) district. The LC zoning district is applied to areas appropriate for a mixture of land uses, with primarily small -scale retail and pedestrian- oriented office uses on the ground floors of commercial structures, and residential units allowed on upper floors. The LC zoning district is consistent with and implements the General Commercial land use designation of the General Plan.

C. SC (Shopping Center) district. The SC zoning district is applied to areas appropriate for a wide range of retail and service land uses, promoting the unified grouping of these uses with convenient off-street parking and loading.

Residential uses may also be accommodated as part of mixed use projects. Projects within this zone are intended to be designed to be an integral part of the surrounding neighborhood, and the larger community. The SC zoning district is consistent with the General Commercial land use designation of the General Plan.

D. GC (General Commercial) district. The GC zoning district is applied to areas appropriate for the general commercial and heavier types of commercial uses that would not be appropriate in the more restrictive commercial zones. Multi-unit housing and mixed- use projects may be allowed. The GC zoning district is consistent with the General Commercial land use designation of the General Plan.

E. AC (Auto Commercial) district. The AC zoning district is applied to areas appropriate for providing automotive sales and services, and compatible related uses. The zone is intended to promote the unified grouping of auto- oriented uses in locations where they will be convenient to the community. The AC zoning district is consistent with the General Commercial land use designation of the General Plan.

F. CR (Commercial Recreation). The CR zoning district is applied to areas for commercial uses normally considered to be recreation oriented and for commercial uses associated with major recreation areas. The CR zoning district is consistent with and implements the open space land use designation of the General Plan.

ITEM 13
Agenda Packet Page 123
G. MP (Industrial/Office Park) district. The MP zoning district is applied to areas appropriate for light industrial and business park land uses, including low -intensity manufacturing and assembly processes, research and development, and corporate headquarters offices. The land uses allowed and development standards required within the MP district are intended to protect adjacent areas from impacts while allowing indoor, clean, and quiet industry. Land uses in the MP zoning district are expected to be organized as a business park, with tenants that may include some commercial activities. The MP zoning district is consistent with and implements the Industrial land use designation of the General Plan.

106.26.030 - Commercial and Industrial District Land Uses and Permit Requirements 106.26.030

A. General permit requirements. Table 2- 5 identifies the uses of land allowed by this Zoning Code in each commercial and industrial zoning district, and the planning permit required to establish each use, in compliance with Section 106.22.030 (Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements).

B. Permit requirements for certain specific land uses. Where the last column in Table 2- 5 ("Specific Use Regulations") includes a section number, the referenced section determines whether the use requires a Zoning Clearance, Minor Use Permit, or Use Permit. The referenced section may also establish other requirements and standards applicable to the use.

C. Permit requirements based on scale of use. Where Table 2-5 identifies a use with an "S" and the last column in the table refers to this Subsection, the use is permitted with a Zoning Clearance if it is a building tenant that will occupy 15 percent or less of the total building floor area. Minor Use Permit approval is required when the use occupies more than 15 percent of the total floor area.

Development and Land Use Approval Requirements

106.22.030.A.4
(New)
Allowable Land
Uses and Permit
Requirements
Added new subsection. This provision
grants the Director the authority to
include or exclude certain floor space
areas when calculating the allowed floor
area for a specific use. It also allows the
Director to approve an increase in the
allowed floor area by up to 25%.

Certain ancillary uses—such as cafés, convenience stores, and residential units—are permitted within the Business Professional (BP) zone, provided they do not exceed 15% of the total building floor area. The amendment introduces
flexibility by allowing these uses to be considered even if they slightly exceed the 15% threshold, subject to staff review and consistency with the intent of the zone.

Table 2-5
Industry,

Amended permit requirements as
follows:
• BP: change from MUP to S
(allowed up to 15% of the building
total building area)
• LC: change from MUP to P
• Add Municipal Code Section
reference
The amendment reduces permit requirements for small-scale business operations to support local entrepreneurship. These uses generally do not involve outdoor storage or generate significant environmental impacts such as noise, thereby not warranting the more intensive review process associated with a Use Permit.

Table 2-5

Amended permit requirements as
follows:
• GC: change from MUP to P
The amendment modifies the permitting requirements for
state licensed contractor yards locating within the General Commercial (GC) zone by removing the Minor Use Permit
(MUP) requirement. Given the GC zone’s compatibility with light industrial and service-oriented uses, this change reduces regulatory barriers while maintaining appropriate land use compatibility.

This use was previously defined in the Zoning Code but was not included in Table 2-5 (Commercial Land Use Table),
although it was identified in the Auburn Boulevard Specific Plan (ABSP) Allowable Uses – Figure 3.4. This use was
previously defined in the Zoning Code but classified under Light Manufacturing, which is permitted in the General
Commercial (GC) zone only with approval of a Use Permit (UP). The creation of a distinct land use category for small- scale, low-impact food production—such as coffee roasting ITEM 13

This use was previously defined in the Zoning Code but was not included in Table 2-5 (Commercial Land Use Table),
although it was identified in the Auburn Boulevard Specific Plan (ABSP) Allowable Uses – Figure 3.4. The inclusion of this land use category in Table 2-5 enhances clarity and
consistency regarding where such uses may be permitted.

This category encompasses small-scale furniture-related manufacturing operations, including re-upholstery shops, cabinet shops, and similar uses.

Although this use was not previously defined or listed in the Zoning Code, it was identified as an allowable use in the Auburn Boulevard Specific Plan (ABSP), Figure 3.4 – Allowable Uses. To ensure consistency between regulatory documents and improve clarity, this use will be formally defined in the Zoning Code and incorporated into Table 2-5 (Commercial Land Use Table).

Although previously defined in the Zoning Code, this use was not included in Table 2-5 (Commercial Land Use Table). The addition of this land use category to Table 2-5—and its designation as a permitted use within the General Commercial (GC) zone—enhances regulatory clarity. Given the GC zone’s established compatibility with light industrial and service- oriented uses, this amendment facilitates appropriate land use flexibility while continuing to support land use
compatibility objectives and reducing unnecessary permitting barriers.

• GC: change from UP to P (GC) zone by eliminating the requirement for a Use Permit (UP). This modification recognizes the GC zone’s suitability for low-impact, light industrial, and service-oriented activities. By allowing these uses by right, the amendment streamlines the entitlement process, reduces regulatory burdens, and
maintains consistency with the zone’s intended function and compatibility standards.

REQUEST

The Planning Division is requesting the Planning Commission's review of proposed amendments to three of the City’s land use regulatory documents: the Zoning Code, the Boulevard Plan, and the Stock Ranch Guide for Development. These changes are based on the City Council’s adopted 2025-2027 Economic Development Work Plan.

These proposed changes include updates to the definitions in the Zoning Code and revisions to the land use tables in all three documents.

The Planning Commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for final approval.

SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION

The Planning Division recommends the Planning Commission make the following motions:

Motion 1: Recommend the City Council adopt an Ordinance amending sections of Chapter 106 of the City of Citrus Heights Municipal Code (Zoning Code Section); in Exhibit A.

Motion 2: Recommend the City Council adopt a Resolution to find the proposed amendments are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines; Repeal and replace Appendix B of the Stock Ranch Guide for Development; Adopt amendments to Figure 3.4 of The Boulevard Plan; as shown in Exhibits B and C.

BACKGROUND

To support the City Council’s strategic goal of “Diversifying for a Vibrant Economy,” the City adopted the 2025–2027 Economic Development Work Plan (www.citrusheights.net/1399) This plan provides a policy framework to encourage business development and improve regulatory processes.

Zoning regulations play a key role in guiding where and how businesses can operate. While they help protect the environment and prevent land use conflicts, it’s also important to ensure they don’t create unnecessary barriers to business growth.

As part of the Economic Development Work Plan (EDWP) effort, the City reviewed several key zoning documents — the Zoning Ordinance, The Boulevard Plan, and the Stock Ranch Guide for Development.

Based on this review, the City is proposing amendments to streamline zoning and permitting procedures.

It’s important to note that these amendments do not approve any specific development projects. They are intended to clarify and modernize regulations for consistency, transparency, and ease of use.

By updating these regulations, the City aims to further support business growth. While Citrus Heights already offers straightforward zoning and permitting processes, there’s always room for improvement.

Feedback from the development community and internal analysis informed these recommendations. The proposed changes focus on streamlining approvals, increasing flexibility, and making the rules easier to understand — all with the goal of attracting diverse businesses, repurposing existing spaces, and promoting long-term economic vitality.

ITEM 13
Agenda Packet Page 173

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
As part of the EDWP’s implementation, City staff conducted a comprehensive review of three key zoning documents:
• The Zoning Code
• The Boulevard Plan
• The Stock Ranch Guide for Development

An overview of each of the amended documents is provided below.

Zoning Code
The Zoning Code provides the framework for the City’s orderly growth and ensures that different types of development coexist harmoniously. As community needs evolve, the Zoning Code must also adapt to support economic growth with minimal regulatory burden.

Amendments are proposed to the following sections:
• Section 106.22.030.A.4 (new)
• Table 2-5 – Commercial Land Use Table
• Chapter 8 – Definitions

These changes aim to:
• Expand allowable land uses
• Streamline the permitting process
• Align terminology and definitions across planning documents

This update supports the Economic Development Work Plan, particularly:
• Action I: Improve Regulatory Processes to Support Business Development o Subsection a: Streamline City Zoning and Permit Processes to Support Business Recruitment and Retail-Compatible Uses

A redlined version of the proposed Zoning Code changes is provided in Exhibit A, and Attachment 1 includes a detailed list describing each change.

Stock Ranch Guide for Development
The Stock Ranch area covers approximately 129 acres in the central portion of the City, bordered by Auburn Boulevard (north) and Sylvan Road (east).

Adopted in 2001, the Stock Ranch Guide originally used land use categories based on the County's Zoning Code. In 2006, the City adopted its own Zoning Code with updated and simplified land use classifications.

To align with the current Code, the proposed update will:
• Replace the existing land use table with one that is consistent with the terminology in City’s current Zoning Code related to land uses and definitions • Expand allowed uses
• Streamline permitting for select uses to better meet modern business needs

This update reflects feedback from the development community and supports the Economic Development Work Plan, particularly:
• Action I: Improve Regulatory Processes to Support Business Development ITEM 13
Agenda Packet Page 174
o Subsection a: Streamline City Zoning and Permit Processes to Support Business Recruitment and Retail-Compatible Uses

Exhibit B shows the updated and revised Figure 3.4 from the Stock Ranch Guide. Attachment 2 provides a cross-reference of current land uses with their new classifications, along with the proposed changes that support the Economic Development Work Plan (EDWP).

The Boulevard Plan
The Auburn Boulevard Corridor, extending from Sylvan Corners north to the City limits, is another key focus area for economic development. To guide its revitalization, the City adopted The Boulevard Plan in 2005.

This specific plan envisions:
• A vibrant, mixed-use corridor
• Redevelopment of aging commercial areas
• Infrastructure improvements, including the Complete Streets Project currently underway

As part of the Economic Development Work Plan, the land use table within The Boulevard Plan has been reviewed and updated to:
• Ensure consistency with the City’s Zoning Code
• Streamline the permitting process
• Support retail and business-friendly development

These changes contribute to the City’s long- term vision for a thriving Auburn Boulevard Corridor and support the Economic Development Work Plan, particularly:
• Action I: Improve Regulatory Processes to Support Business Development o Subsection a: Streamline City Zoning and Permit Processes to Support Business Recruitment and Retail-Compatible Uses

A redlined version of the proposed changes to the Boulevard Plan is provided in Exhibit C, and Attachment 3 includes a summary of all changes.

SUMMARY OF KEY CHANGES

To support the Economic Development Work Plan, changes are proposed to the Zoning Code, the Boulevard Plan, and the Stock Ranch Guide for Development. These changes are intended to streamline the permit process, increase land use flexibility, and reduce unnecessary permitting barriers—while still maintaining land use compatibility. Although many of the proposed changes are minor, Tables 1 through 3 below summarize the more significant ones. A complete list of changes is provided in Attachments 1 through 3.

Request for Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity (PLN-25-02) Summa
ry and Recommendation
A Le
tter 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). Rangoon Grocery is located at 7601 Sunrise Boulevard, within a census tract (81.42) that ABC has determined can only allow two off-sale establishments without being considered over-concentrated. As shown in Attachment 1, four off-sale locations are currently within census tract 81.42.

Rangoon G
rocery is an existing retailer within the Citrus Heights Plaza commercial center (7601 Sunrise Boulevard) that desires to add alcohol sales. The location will offer a wide assortment of high-quality spirits with a focus on Indian/Burmese related alcohols. The store is requesting an alcohol license (Type 21-off-sale beer/wine/spirits).

Alt
hough the census tract has four off-sale locations as shown in Attachment 1, there are only 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 review the application for the PCN and make one of the following motions:

Move t
o approve the Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity to allow the issuance of a Type 21 license for the sale for beer/wine/spirits for Rangoon Grocery at 7601 Sunrise Boulevard.

Move to deny the Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity to not allow the issuance of Type 21 license for the sale for beer/wine/spirits for Rangoon Grocery at 7601 Sunrise Boulevard

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 addition of liquor to the store is anticipated to generate approximately $12,000 in additional 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 within the Code. The Council has the full discretion to approve or deny the “Letter of Public Convenience” request.

ITEM 14
Agenda Packet Page 180
Project Description

Rangoon Grocery is an existing retailer located within the Citrus Heights Plaza commercial center at 7601 Sunrise Boulevard. The location currently offers a wide assortment of specialty Burmese and Asian products. With the approval of the off-sale alcohol license, Rangoon Grocery plans on offering a variety of sake, Vietnamese rice wines and draft beers, Japanese beers and whiskeys, Korean soju, Thailand singha and chang beer and Chinese baijiu. Rangoon Grocery will be open daily between the hours of 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. Although Rangoon would target specialized alcohol sales, nothing in the application would expressly limit sales to specialized alcohol. However, alcohol limitations related to size and types would be limited consistent with the Zoning Code, as described further in the Analysis section of this report.

The applicant is requesting a Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity to allow for off-sale beer/wine/spirits (Type 21).

The proposed location is within the Citrus Heights Plaza center which is home to a variety of users including retail stores, a nail and hair salon, as well as a SAFE Credit Union. Due to the mix and quality of products sold, the applicant believes that the project will bring synergy to the center.

Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity Analysis

Based on an analysis of the surrounding ABC licenses, staff determined there are a total of four off-sale licenses within Census Tract 81.42. There are two other off-sale alcohol licenses within 1,000 ft of the project location, which are in the neighboring census tracts to the east and south of the site. Both of these locations are associated with a gas/service station and are approved for Type 20 off-sale licenses (beer/wine-no liquor). Rangoon Grocery will operate from 9 a.m. to 8 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 liquor storage behind the counter, and with strict age verification at registers. The store will also require all employees making alcohol sales, attend ABC LEAD courses. Rangoon Grocery will also implement the following bottle/container sales restrictions:

• No alcohol sales of wine bottles or containers less than 750 ml except for wine based coolers.
• No alcohol sales of wine coolers, whether made of wine or malt products, in quantities of less than a factory four-pack.
• No alcohol sales of beer and/or malt beverages not in original factory package. • No alcohol sales of beer in single containers less than 32 ounces.

ITEM 14
Agenda Packet Page 181
• No alcohol sales of distilled spirits in containers less than 375 ml.

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 review included an external inspection of the proposed location, a review of surrounding businesses with alcohol licenses, a Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) evaluation, and analysis of calls for service at the proposed location. As stated in the report, “analysis was conducted of calls for service at 7601 Sunrise Boulevard 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” 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 Neighborhood Areas 2/6 (CHATS) and the Sylvan Old Auburn Road (SOAR) Neighborhood Area 10 of the request for a Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity. No comments have been received from either Neighborhood Associations as of the writing of this staff report.

Planning Division staff received written concerns from Civicco LLC, on behalf of Sunrise Small Business Coalition (Attachment 4).

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 Sacramento Bee. 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 7601 Sunrise Boulevard since the application was filed with ABC.

Pencilo Corporation— Public Convenience and Necessity Page 2 of 4

In regards to the public’s interest, the store caters to a specific type of goods provided to the community. Many of the products offered to the public can only be found and purchased at Rangoon store—no other stores in the area offer the products and goods Rangoon offers. It will be a great convenience for the community to be able to also shop for specialty Burmese and Asian product and have the options to include beer, wine, and spirits. The proposed list of alcohol beverage options included, but will not be limited to: variety of sake, Vietnamese rice wines and draft beers, Japanese beers and whiskeys, Korean soju, Thailand singha and chang beer, and Chinese baijiu.

SUBJECT: Rangoon Grocery – 7601 Sunrise Blvd: Letter of Public Convenience & Necessity (PCN)

The Citrus Heights Police Department has reviewed the proposed Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity for Rangoon Grocery located at 7601 Sunrise Boulevard, Suite #1 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. The existing parking lot is well-lit, with bright lights near the entrances 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 c ity 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 7601 Sunrise Boulevard 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 Rangoon Grocery to obtain a Type 21 for this location.

RE: liquor license at 7601 Sunrise Blvd

To whom it may concern,

We are writing this letter in strong protest of the pending letter of public convenience and necessity at 7601 Sunrise Blvd. The current retail store operates as a consignment shop and may not be experienced enough to understand the responsibilities that come with retail privileges for alcoholic beverages. Also, the location is within proximity to 4 very sensitive uses.

Highlands Community Charter, Discovery Tree Preschool, Holy Family Catholic Church, and Holy Family Elementary School. In addition, the store abuts single family residential homes and units across the street. We feel that granting the letter of public convenience and necessity is contrary to morals and welfare of the community.
