General Plan Annual Report – 2023
Accepted by the Cloverdale City Council on March 27, 2024 Background
The Cloverdale General Plan is a legal document, required by state law, which serves as the City’s "constitution" for development and the use of land. The Cloverdale General Plan serves two primary functions. As an information document, it describes existing conditions within the City and provides development projections. As a policy document, the General Plan establishes a vision for the city’s future that is representative of what the City will look like in 2025. The General Plan contains goals, policies and implementation programs or measures for land use, development, and environmental quality that guide the physical development of the City consistent with the established vision of the City.

Using the guidelines established by the General Plan, Cloverdale’s City Council and Planning Commission take incremental steps toward achieving the larger development goals of the City. City staff also implements policies and actions contained in the General Plan through day-to-day operations of the City.

The General Plan includes the following elements:
• Land Use (LU)
• Circulation (CE)
• Noise (NE)
• Parks and Recreation (PR)
• Conservation, Design and Open Space (CDO)
• Urban Lighting (UL)
• Public Health and Safety (PS)
• Housing (H)
The State requires that the City submit an annual report on the status of its General Plan and progress made toward its implementation to the City Council and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR). The General Plan Year End Report is also required to be submitted with Annual Housing Element Progress Report to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

Since its adoption in 2009, the City has worked to implement the policies outlined in the General Plan.

The various departments that make up the City of Cloverdale work collaboratively to implement various aspects of the General Plan. These departments include the City Manager's office, Administrative Services (Finance), Public Works (Engineering, Water, Sewer, Parks and Recreation), Police including dispatch and Community Development (Planning and Building).

This report is organized to comply with OPR's General Plan Guidelines. This document is a reporting document, and does not create or alter policy. The content is provided for informational purposes only, and is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15306. The report includes sections that correlate with the Elements of the General Plan and 20 - 2 -
details important information and events from the 2023 calendar year. The report also identifies how City decision making was guided by the General Plan’s goals, policies and implementation measures.

Status of the Cloverdale General Plan
The Cloverdale General Plan was comprehensively updated in 2009. Since adoption of the General Plan, the following amendments have been made to the General Plan:
• 2010 - In order to clarify Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) provisions, land use designations for the downtown area, Cloverdale Depot and at Citrus Fair Drive were updated in order to implement the Station Area/Downtown Plan and to correct mapping errors that conflict with the General Plan text.
• 2014 - A comprehensive update of the 2015-2023 Housing Element was completed. • 2015 - The Downtown Service land use designation was eliminated to help achieve some economic development goals. At the same time, other minor text amendments were made to eliminate duplication and inconsistencies, and to ensure land uses may be built out as envisioned in the Station Area/Downtown Plan.
• 2016 – The General Plan was amended for five
properties associated with the Nu Forest
Annexation project consisting of an approximate

42.5-acre project site. The purpose of the
annexation and general plan amendments were
to support General Plan Goal LU-1 - Provide a
balance of land uses within the General Plan
Study Area for housing, jobs, economic
development, recreation, conservation, and
destination commercial uses. At the same time,
other text amendments were made to allow for
live-work units within the M-1 Zoning District,
ensuring that existing uses on some of the
annexed properties would be conforming with all
applicable City regulations post annexation.

The General Plan was also amended in 2016 to
change the designation of a 12.3-acre property
located at the southeast corner of Santana Drive
and Asti Road from Business Park (BP) to
Destination Commercial (DSC). The purpose of
the General Plan amendment was to allow for specific land uses within the project site consistent with the Alexander Valley Resort (AVR) Specific Plan as the applicant was also the property owner of the AVR project.
• 2018 - General Plan amended for the Vista Oaks subdivision of a 42.62-acre project site located at the north end of existing Vista View Drive. The purpose of the general plan amendment was to allow for a 33-lot subdivision whereas the previous General Plan designation would have prevented the seven (7) properties that make up the 42.62-acre project site from being 21 - 3 -
subdivided. Though, the project site lies above the 400-foot elevation, the project helped further General Plan goals and policies by:
a) conforming to the maximum density allowed by the LDR land use designation; b) incorporation of conditions of approval and mitigation measures from the Major Design Review and Precise Development Plan review process to ensure that the development will be significantly screened from view from the valley floor; c) guaranteeing over half of the project site (26.60 of 42.62 acres) remains as dedicated open space.

The General Plan was also amended in 2018 for the AVR project as follows:
a) revised the amount of city-wide park and recreation opportunities to the AVR site. b) reduced open space on the AVR site consistent with the revised development plan; c) allowed residential development within an Airport Safety Zones subject to a report from a qualified consultant indicating there would be no safety issue.

The purpose of the General Plan amendment was to improve the overall quality of the AVR project and to further the economic development goals of the City. • 2020 – General Plan amended for the Baumgardner Ranch housing project on 28.42-acres at 28195 & 28193 Old Redwood Highway. The purpose of the general plan amendment was to allow for a 296 unit (including 223 affordable units) residential development whereas the previous General Plan designations (General Industry and Low Density Residential) would have prevented the housing project from being approved.
• 2021 – The General Plan was amended as a part of the Dry Creek Rancheria annexation project.

The annexation involved
a total of 6 parcels and approximately 87 acres, and the General Plan land use designation was changed on a portion of 2 of the six parcels from General Industrial (GI) to General Commercial 22 - 4 -
(GC) and from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Medium Density Residential (MDR) for the Bi’ Du Khaale senior housing project at 235 Kelly Road.

Also in 2021 an update to the Public Health and Safety Element was completed and November 10, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 100-2021 adopting the Public Health and Safety Element Update along with an Initial Study and Negative Declaration.

Finally, the General Plan was amended in 2021 for the Taylor Lynn Apartments Phase 2 project at 669-679 S. Cloverdale Boulevard. The land use designation of the 1.41-acre project site was changed from Low Density Residential (LDR) to High Density Residential (HDR) to allow for the construction of the 22-unit market rate multi-family residential dwelling units. • 2023 – The General Plan was amended in 2023 for the Housing Element update. The City Council adopted Resolution N. 037-2023 on April 26, 2023, for the 2023-2031 planning period.

General Plan Implementation in 2023
Actions taken by the City during 2023 to implement the General Plan are individually summarized by General Plan element in Exhibit 1. A brief highlighted list of accomplishments for the calendar year are provided below.

Land Use Element
• City staff continued discussions with potential developers of Alexander Valley Resort project. • Began code amendments in 2023 to remove Growth Management Ordinance and all associated regulations as required by the Cycle 6 Housing Element. • City Council approved annexation of Six Acres properties in 2023; the project still requires approval by Sonoma LAFCO to finalize the annexation into City limits.

Conservation, Design and Open Space Element
• City staff continued to work with PGE on an energy audit of the City’s buildings and infrastructure to reduce energy consumption throughout the City. • Completed purchase of approximately 280 acres in western hills known as Soda Springs open space area for additional open space and public access opportunities.

Circulation Element
• Regarding Implementation CE 2-1a, Level of Service (L.O.S.) can no longer be used as a way of measuring traffic impacts of a project during a projects CEQA review. In order for the City to comply with SB 743, the City is required to adopt Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) thresholds for 23 - 5 -
determining a potential projects traffic impacts in regards to review of a project under CEQA.

In 2023 the City began working on a Circulation Element Update including establishing local VMT thresholds for the City.

Parks and Recreation Element
• Construction was completed at Plaza Park installing public restroom facilities. • Cloverdale 2nd street City Park Basketball Court construction project was completed May 20, 2023. The concrete basketball courts at City Park were constructed in the 1970’s and need replacement. With this in mind, the city council approved a grant submittal to the State of California, which was awarded. The grant covered a portion of the cost to install two new full sized basketball courts at City Park. In addition to the court installation, an existing storm drain was relocated, and a fence will be installed. The full-sized courts were constructed of asphalt, fully striped, and ready for half or full court games.

24 - 6 -
• Also in 2023, on December 23 the City completed the first and only dog park in our community. The Cloverdale Dog Park stands as a testament of the City’s dedication to creating pet-friendly spaces where our canine companions' and humans can thrive. Its thoughtful design and amenities ensure that it will serve as a cherished hub for recreation and companionship for years to come.

Housing Element
• Utilizing funds from SB2 and LEAP planning grants, together with 4Leaf Inc, the City completed the Housing Element update, which was certified by HCD in 2023. • The Building Department issued twenty six building permits for the construction of 26 units (25 detached multifamily and 1 SFD).
• New housing legislation such as SB 4 became effective and granted churches and colleges the authority to construct affordable housing projects on their property and allowing them to bypass local zoning regulations. Other legislation such as AB 2011 took effect in 2023 and allows commercially zoned parcels to develop residential uses if includes some affordable units.

General Plan Amendments and Implementation anticipated during 2024 In 2023, the City began the process of preparing an update to the Circulation Element and establish vehicle miles traveled (VMT) thresholds for CEQA review. The Circulation Element update will be completed in 2024. Also in 2024, staff anticipates embarking on updates to the Land Use Element and the Conservation, Design and Open Space Element.

Annual Review of Land Use Element
As required by Government Code Section 65302, the Land Use Element was reviewed to determine if any revisions were needed to reflect updated flooding information. The Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) indicates areas within the City limits and planning area that are subject to inundation by the 1% annual chance flood, as well as 25 - 7 -
floodway areas that must be kept free of encroachment to minimum increases in flood heights. The FIRM for Cloverdale was most recently updated in December of 2021.

Provide an extensive network of pedestrian and bicycle pathways to support community health and provide safe alternatives to automobile use.

The City shall strive to maintain mid-Level of Service (LOS) D operation during the weekday morning and evening peak periods at intersections of an arterial street with either another arterial or a collector street and intersections of two collector streets. For public safety, signalization warrants shall be evaluated using CALTRANS standards, which are typically based on LOS C. For projected future conditions the LOS is to be calculated using the average traffic demand over the highest 60-minute period. For all types of control the Level of Service standard is to be applied to the average intersection delay, and not that for any single movement or approach. Exceptions to meeting this standard include:
*Stop-controlled minor street approaches to either collector or arterial streets; *Locations where the City Engineer deems improvement to be technically, financially, or environmentally infeasible; Promote bicycle use and walking as an alternative to automobile traffic and for community health and enjoyment. *Locations where improvements are needed to meet LOS standards but are not warranted based on volumes; *Conditions where the improvement would result in significant adverse impacts to other travel modes, including walking, bicycling, or transit; or *Locations where attainment would cause loss of the unique character of the downtown, identified historic resources or neighborhood character, distinctive tree canopy, or distinctive watercourses.

Blvd., where new property owners
returned the existing structure to

CDO 3-8 Develop a design plan for the area around the passenger rail station so that the station is incorporated into a mixed use community, rather than an isolated facility that is reached only by car.

Consider downtown-type design configurations for the properties immediately opposite the station, with features like narrower roads to slow traffic, parking and buildings modeled after the downtown, and high density residential above commercial uses that could serve a transit community and commuter rail passengers.

Preserve the traditional appearance of existing houses along Cloverdale Boulevard north of the downtown by allowing flexibility of use as an economic incentive to preserve and flexibility in parking standards so that the parking requirements do not require demolition or improper alteration. Existing houses should be used as a design model for new construction.

Preserve the traditional appearance of the residential areas around the downtown by identifying structures built prior to 1939, allowing flexibility in planning standards as an incentive to retaining these buildings in their traditional appearance, and requiring design review for new construction in the area to assure that the traditional appearance of older Cloverdale is retained.

Design of detached single family housing, including small lot single family developments should have the look and feel based on representative development in the past, including mix of single and multi-story units, typical single family private yard spaces. Medium and higher density housing should be attached and provide common parking and open spaces if they cannot meet the traditional single family models of development.

Remove or upgrade the appearance of structures that were built when Cloverdale Boulevard was a state highway, and are no longer appropriate for the City’s main arterial street, including small gas stations, auto repair facilities, and motor court type uses.

Parking in the downtown core should emphasize shared parking, should not be located between a building and the street, and should not have individual driveways across sidewalks in areas designed for high levels of pedestrian use.

Continue to enforce City code requirements on construction in flood hazard areas and other adopted regulations which implement the National Flood Insurance Program.

Avoid variances to building setbacks along streams and in 100-year flood plains.

Prepare a comprehensive analysis of the potential flood hazards and drainage impacts associated with adopted land use plans for each major watershed in the City. Encourage the County to work with Cloverdale to develop basin wide drainage studies and development fees for the purpose of identifying and mitigating the direct and cumulative impact of flooding which results from the loss of permeable surfaces. The City shall use proposed annexations, redevelopment agreements, revenue sharing agreements and the CEQA process as tools to ensure that incorporated development pays its fair share toward the studies and mitigation of downstream flooding impacts caused by upstream development.

Pending completion of the above applicable drainage analyses, individual project applications shall be required to analyze and mitigate drainage impacts, based upon the land use plan. If such analysis identified unmitigated and cumulative significant effects, including impact on downstream flooding, further environmental documentation may be required.

In the event that the City determines that the project, when considered cumulatively with other projects to be undertaken in the drainage basin, will result in a significant effect with respect to downstream flooding, the project applicant will either a) prepare a focused environmental impact report on such effect, or b) agree to modify the project to construct improvements or participate in a funding mechanism necessary to mitigate any downstream flooding impacts (such as posting a bond or funds prior to recordation of the final map in an amount to be determined by the Water Agency). Failure to modify the project or to propose further environmental documentation shall be grounds for finding the project inconsistent with the plan.

Use the 100-year flood event and corresponding elevations as the City measure of acceptable level of risk and protection in the consideration of any amendments of the land use plan map.

Onsite and offsite flood related hazards shall be reviewed for all projects located within areas subject to known flood hazards.

Regulate development, water diversion, vegetation removal, grading and fills to minimize any increase in flooding and related damage to people and property.

Payment of costs for drainage facilities to handle the surface runoff from new development shall be the responsibility of developers and others who benefit.

Require that design and construction of drainage facilities be subject to the review and approval of the Sonoma County Water Agency (SCWA) where appropriate based on project size.

Require that tentative and final subdivision maps and approved site plans show areas subject to flooding as shown on the FEMA maps.

Give priority to floodplain management over flood control structures for preventing damage from flooding except where the intensity of development requires a high level of protection and justifies the costs of structural measures.

While maintaining the autonomy granted to it pursuant to state zoning laws, implement state and county requirements for the storage, transport, disposal and use of hazardous materials, including requirements for management plans, security precautions, and contingency plans.

Consider the severity of natural fire hazards, potential damage from wildland and structural fires, adequacy of fire protection and mitigation measures consistent with this element in the review of projects.

Require on-site detection and suppression, including automatic sprinkler systems, where available services do not provide acceptable levels of protection.

Where allowed by law, regulate the transportation of hazardous materials to minimize the potential for damage. Seek regulation by other agencies consistent with adopted City policies.

Support the adoption of the County Safety Element into City policy as incorporated by reference above.

Adopt revisions to the Uniform Fire Code and California Building Code to address fire and life safety after they are approved by inspection organizations and the State of California.

Limit filling in areas which could retain a significant amount of floodwater.

Encourage the timely completion and filing of inundation maps for all dams whose failure could cause loss of life or personal injury within Sonoma County.

Housing Successor Agency Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2022-23 ________________________________________________________________________________________ Recommended Council Action(s):

Receive and file Housing Successor Agency Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2022-23. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Background:

The City of Cloverdale (“City”) serves as the Housing Successor Agency to the former Cloverdale Community Development Agency (“CCDA”), which was dissolved effective February 1, 2012. State law requires each Housing Successor Agency to prepare an annual report documenting its financing activity and demonstrating how it is meeting requirements imposed by Health and Safety Code (“HSC”) Section 34176.1, enacted by Senate Bill 341 in 2013.

The report is due to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) by April 1 each year and must be posted on the City’s website. The report for Fiscal Year 2022-23 is being presented to the City Council to receive and file.
________________________________________________________________________________________ Summary:

The City has met all requirements imposed by HSC Section 34176.1. The City’s progress on major requirements in Fiscal Year 2022-23 is summarized below.

Housing Asset Fund Activity
The City deposited $1.5 million from Thyme Square land sales proceeds from the sale of property to Alexander Valley Health, as well as a homeowner loan repayment, and interest income. The City spent $4,588 on administrative expenses (well below the maximum limit of $254,500).

The ending asset balance as of June 30, 2023 was nearly $2.0 million, of which $1.7 million is cash. The remaining asset balance is comprised of a $250,000 loan receivable from Cherry Creek Village and a small account receivable. Any future expenses must comply with the requirements outlined in the next section.

Expenditure Proportionality Requirements
Expenditures from the Housing Asset Fund must meet specific proportionality requirements by income level and age:
• Administrative and monitoring expenses are capped at $200,000 annually, adjusted for inflation, or 5 percent of the value of real properties and loans receivable, whichever is higher. • Up to $250,000 may be spent annually on rapid rehousing solutions for homelessness and homeless prevention.
72 City Council/Successor Agency Agenda Item Summary
Meeting Date: March 27, 2024

• If Housing Asset Funds are spent on housing projects and programs, within each five-year compliance period:
o At least 30% must be spent on deed-restricted rental housing for extremely low income households (earning up to 30% of the Area Median Income); o No more than 20% may be spent on low income households (earning 60-80% of the Area Median Income); and
o No monies may be spent on moderate or above moderate income households (earning more than 80% of the Area Median Income).
• No more than 50% of deed-restricted rental housing units assisted by the City or the former Redevelopment Agency in the prior 10 years may be restricted to seniors.

The City has met these requirements consistently since Fiscal Year 2013-14. It has only incurred administrative expenses thus far, which have been well below the administrative limit each year. Staff will ensure requirements are met in future years.

Senior Housing Restrictions
In any ten-year period, a maximum of 50 percent of deed-restricted rental units assisted by the City may be restricted to seniors. Housing Asset Funds may not be used to assist senior rental housing if this maximum has been reached. The City has assisted one deed-restricted rental housing property in the prior ten years, Cherry Creek, with 24 units that are not restricted to seniors. The Housing Asset Fund may therefore assist up to 24 senior units if desired. Staff will ensure future assistance meets this requirement.

Real Property Assets and Loans Receivable
As the Housing Successor Agency, the City inherited two real properties from the former CCDA, commonly known as Cherry Creek and Thyme Square. HSC Section 34176(e) requires any real properties acquired by the CCDA prior to February 1, 2012 to be sold or developed for affordable housing purposes by September 5, 2022. The City initiated development on these properties by the deadline.

The Cherry Creek property was developed by Kingdom Development Inc. and Cherry Creek Village L.P. into a 24-unit rental housing project affordable to very low income households. Construction was completed and the property was fully occupied in fiscal year 2021-22. The property is leased to the developer through a 99-year agreement.

Thyme Square is a 5.3-acre property split into multiple lots. Lot A will be developed with up to 30 units of affordable housing through an Exclusive Negotiated Agreement with Integrated Community Development.

Lot B was sold in January 2022 for $1.5 million to Alexander Valley Healthcare, a Federally Qualified Health Center, for a health and wellness center serving Northern Sonoma County. Sales proceeds totaling $1,529,625 were deposited into the Housing Asset Fund in FY 2022-23.

The Housing Successor has one outstanding loan receivable in the amount of $250,000. The former CCDA provided the loan to rehabilitate the Divine Senior Apartments, a 12-unit affordable rental property. The loan has a 55-year term ending in 2060.
73 City Council/Successor Agency Agenda Item Summary
Meeting Date: March 27, 2024

Excess Surplus
The law has an “excess surplus” requirement, which requires Housing Asset Funds to be spent in an expeditious manner. Excess surplus is defined by HSC Section 34176.1(d) as “an unencumbered amount in the account that exceeds the greater of one million dollars, or the aggregate amount deposited into the account during the housing successor’s preceding four fiscal years, whichever is greater.” The Housing Asset Fund does not have an excess surplus for Fiscal Year 2022-23, as the cash balance is significantly below $1 million. If the Housing Successor Agency accrues an excess surplus in the future, the funds must be spent or encumbered within three fiscal years or transmit the funds to HCD. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Options:

1. Receive and file the City of Cloverdale Housing Successor Agency Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2022- 23; or

2. Provide alternative direction to staff.
________________________________________________________________________________________ Subcommittee Recommendation:

None.
________________________________________________________________________________________ Budget/Financial Impact:

There are no fiscal implications of receiving and filing these annual reports on the City’s activities as the Housing Successor Agency for the City of Cloverdale. .

76 Cloverdale Housing Successor Annual Report FY 2022-23 1 INTRODUCTION
This Housing Successor Agency Annual Report (“Annual Report”) presents information on Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2022-23 expenditures and activities as required by Health and Safety Code (“HSC”) Section 34176.1(f), including but not limited to a housing successor’s compliance with certain expenditure activities over the year as well as a five-year planning period. This Annual Report is required of any housing successor to a former redevelopment agency.

City as Housing Successor
The City of Cloverdale (“City”) is the Housing Successor Agency (“Housing Successor”) to the former Cloverdale Community Development Agency (“CCDA”), which acted as the redevelopment agency in Cloverdale until redevelopment was dissolved statewide in 2012. At the time of dissolution, a housing successor was to be selected to transfer and be responsible for the remaining assets and liabilities of a former redevelopment agency.

This Annual Report is an addendum to the City’s Housing Element Annual Progress Report. Both are due to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) by April 1 annually.

Scope of This Housing Successor Annual Report
This Annual Report is limited to the Housing Successor’s activities as it relates to its role as a housing successor. This may include, but is not limited to, financial activities, property disposition, loan administration, monitoring of covenants, and affordable housing development. This Annual Report describes compliance with various annual, five-year, and ten-year housing expenditure and production requirements. FY 2022-23 is the fourth year of the current five-year compliance period for income proportionality, which begins July 1, 2019 and ends June 30, 2024.

Assets Transferred to the Housing Successor
Upon the statewide dissolution of redevelopment in 2012, all rights, powers, committed assets, liabilities, duties, and obligations associated with the affordable housing activities of the CCDA were transferred to the Housing Successor. As one of its first duties as a housing successor, the Housing Successor prepared and submitted to the California Department of Finance (“DOF”) an inventory of housing assets to be transferred from the former CCDA. The inventory was enumerated on a Housing Asset Transfer 77 Cloverdale Housing Successor Annual Report FY 2022-23 2 Form (“HAT”) that included two real properties. One loan receivable is also managed by the Housing Successor.

All items on the HAT were reviewed and ultimately approved by the DOF on September 5, 2012. A copy of the HAT is provided as Appendix 1. Once approved by DOF and as directed by law, the City, acting as housing successor, transferred these assets to the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund (“Housing Asset Fund1
”). Approval of the HAT set in motion a series of obligations by the City as a housing successor, as described in the following section.

BACKGROUND
This Section summarizes the legal requirements for use of housing successor assets that are addressed in this Annual Report.

Legal Requirements Pertaining to Housing Successors
A year after dissolution of redevelopment began, the State Legislature recognized the need to regulate and provide transparency on the use of the housing activities transferred from a former redevelopment agency. Senate Bill 341 (DeSaulnier, 2013) and subsequent legislation enacted several requirements for housing successor agencies contained in HSC Sections 34176-34176.1.

In general, housing successors must comply with three major requirements pursuant to HSC Section 34176.1:

1. Expenditures and housing production are subject to income and age targets.

2. Housing successors may not accumulate an “excess surplus,” or a high unencumbered Housing Asset Fund balance based on certain thresholds.

3. Properties must be developed with affordable housing within five to ten years of DOF’s approval of the HAT.

Appendix 2 provides a detailed summary of the reporting requirements that are addressed in this Annual Report.
1 The Housing Asset Fund replaced the former CCDA’s Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund. 78 Cloverdale Housing Successor Annual Report FY 2022-23 3 Permitted Uses of Housing Asset Funds
Pursuant to HSC Section 34176.1, Housing Asset Funds may be spent on:
• Administrative costs for the operation of the housing successor agency. The law allows a housing successor to spend the greater of:
o $200,000 per year adjusted for inflation, or
o 5% of the statutory value of real property owned by the housing successor and the value of loans and grants receivable from the HAT (“Portfolio”).

According to HCD, the $200,000 limit adjusted for inflation is $254,500 for FY 2022-23. The Housing Successor’s FY 2022-23 Portfolio balance is $250,000, of which 5% is $12,500.

Cloverdale’s FY 2022-23 annual administrative cost limit is the higher of these amounts, or $254,500.
• Homeless prevention and rapid rehousing services up to $250,000 per year if the former redevelopment agency did not have any outstanding inclusionary housing or replacement housing production requirements as of 2012. Cloverdale is eligible for this expense because it did not have any outstanding inclusionary or replacement housing requirements upon dissolution. • Affordable housing development assisting households with up to 80 percent of the Area Median Income (“AMI”), subject to specific income and age targets over a five-year period.

Five-Year Income Proportionality on Development Expenditures: Housing Asset Funds may be spent on the development of affordable housing projects affordable to low, very low, and extremely low-income households. “Development” is defined as “new construction, acquisition, and rehabilitation, substantial rehabilitation as defined in HSC Section 33413, the acquisition of long-term affordability covenants on multifamily units as described in HSC Section 33413, or the preservation of an assisted housing development that is eligible for prepayment or termination or for which within the expiration of rental restrictions is scheduled to occur within five years.”
Over each five-year compliance period, at least 30 percent of such development expenditures must assist extremely low-income households (30% AMI), while no more than 20 percent may 79 Cloverdale Housing Successor Annual Report FY 2022-23 4 assist low-income households (between 60-80% AMI). The balance of the funds may be used on very low-income households (defined as households earning between 30% and 60% of AMI).

The first five-year compliance period was from January 1, 2014, through June 30, 2019. The Housing Successor was compliant with Housing Asset Fund income proportionality expenditure requirements during the first five-year compliance period. The second, and current, five-year compliance period is from July 1, 2019, to June 30, 2024.

Note that housing successors must report expenditures by category each year, but compliance with income proportionality limits is measured every five years. For example, a housing successor could spend all its funds in a single year on households earning between 60-80% AMI, as long as it was 20 percent or less of the total expenditures during the five-year compliance period.

Should a housing successor not spend at least 30% of its development expenditures on extremely low-income households, or exceeds the amount spent on low-income households, future expenditures are subject to greater restriction until these proportionality targets are met.

Specifically, if a housing successor is unable to spend at least 30% of its development expenditures on extremely low units, it is required to increase this spending to 50% until compliant with the 30% threshold; a housing successor that spends more than 20% of its development expenditures on low-income units cannot spend any further funds on low-income developments until it is at or below the 20% threshold.

As such, tracking these expenditures and their progress over the corresponding five-year period is an important function of this Annual Report.

Ten-Year Age Proportionality on Units Assisted: If more than 50% of the total aggregate number of rental units produced by the city, housing successor, or former redevelopment agency during the past 10 years are restricted to seniors, the housing successor may not spend more Housing Asset Funds on senior rental housing.

It is important to stress that Housing Successor expenditure and production requirements are measured on different timeframes:
80 Cloverdale Housing Successor Annual Report FY 2022-23 5 • One-Year Limits: Administrative Allowance and Homeless Prevention Allowance. Compliance is evaluated annually and resets every year.
• Five-Year Limit: Expenditures by Income Level. Compliance is evaluated over a fixed five-year period set by law, the current period being July 1, 2019, to June 30, 2024. • Ten-Year Limit: Number of Senior Deed-Restricted Units Assisted. Compliance is evaluated based on a rolling ten-year period that is different every year, the current period, occurring through FYs 2021-22 to 2030-31.

Appendix 3 describes Housing Asset Fund expenditure requirements in more detail, including the types of costs eligible in each category.

Limits on the Accumulation of Housing Funds (Excess Surplus) State law limits how much cash a housing successor may retain and, if it fails to commit and spend these dollars in a reasonable timeframe, ultimately penalizes the housing successor by requiring unspent funds to be transferred to HCD for use on State housing programs.

HSC Section 34176.1(d) establishes a limit, known as an “excess surplus” on the amount of unencumbered Housing Asset Funds based on the greater of the following:
• $1,000,000, or
• The total amount of deposits made into the Housing Asset Fund over the preceding four years.

Only amounts in excess of this threshold are considered an excess surplus. Once an excess surplus is determined, a housing successor must account for these funds separately and encumber said monies within three years. If after the third year the excess surplus has not been fully encumbered, the remaining balance of the excess surplus is to be transferred to HCD within 90 days. HCD is permitted to use these transferred excess surplus funds anywhere in the State under its Multifamily Housing Program or the Joe Serna, Jr. Farmworker Housing Grant Program.

The concept of excess surpluses carries over from the era prior to the dissolution of redevelopment, when redevelopment agencies often were receiving substantial amounts of deposits from the mandatory housing set-aside of 20% of tax increment revenues.
81 Cloverdale Housing Successor Annual Report FY 2022-23 6 As part of the Annual Report, a housing successor must disclose any excess surplus and describe the housing successor’s plan for eliminating this excess surplus.

HOUSING ASSET FUND ACTIVITY
This section describes FY 2022-23 Housing Asset Fund activity and balances.

Deposits and Fund Balance
The Housing Successor deposited $1,541,535 into the Housing Asset Fund during FY 2022-23. The revenue deposited was gained from Thyme Square land sales proceedA, a homeowner loan repayment, and interest income. Deposits can be seen in Table 1.

Expenditures
The Housing Successor expended a total of $4,588 during FY 2022-23. All expenses were on administrative costs, and were well under the maximum administrative expense limit of $254,500 for FY 2022-23.

Ending Cash and Fund Balance
The Housing Asset Fund balance as of June 30, 2023 was $1,970,752, of which $1,718,513 was cash, as summarized in Table 2. Remaining assets are a loan receivable that is described in the next section and a small account receivable.
82 Cloverdale Housing Successor Annual Report FY 2022-23 7 Housing Successor Portfolio
The Housing Successor Portfolio as of FY 2022-23 includes one loan receivable transferred from the CCDA. The Portfolio had a value of $250,000 as of FY 2022-23, as detailed in Table 3.

REAL PROPERTIES AND DISPOSITION STATUS
The former CCDA transferred two properties to the Housing Successor. HSC Section 34176.1(e) requires the Housing Successor to initiate affordable housing development on or sell these properties by September 5, 2022. The Housing Successor has complied with this timline. The properties and their disposition status are described below.
• CHERRY CREEK SITE – This 1.8-acre property was purchased in 2007 by the Housing Land Trust of Sonoma County, with contributions from the CCDA’s Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund, for the development of workforce housing. The property was returned to the CCDA in 2009 as a 83 Cloverdale Housing Successor Annual Report FY 2022-23 8 result of market decline. A lease was entered into with the Cloverdale Community Outreach Committee (“CCOC”) to operate a transitional housing program at existing units on the site.

CCOC’s lease ended in September 2019.

In February 2020, the City entered into a Disposition and Development Agreement with Cherry Creek Village L.P. (“Developer”) to develop, construct, own, and operate a 24-unit rental apartment affordable to very low income residents. The City entered into a Lease Agreement to lease the Property to the Developer for 99 years. The City provided a grant to Kingdom Development Inc., a California nonprofit public benefit corporation and the administrative general partner of the Developer, in the amount of $1,900,000 to assist with the development of the affordable units. The City also agreed to provide a $250,000 pre-development loan to the Developer to assist with the costs related to the design, architecture and engineering expenses of the project pursuant to a separate predevelopment loan agreement. City financial assistance was not from Housing Asset Funds.

The Cherry Creek Village project completed construction and is fully occupied as of fiscal year 2021-22.
• THYME SQUARE SITE – This is an undeveloped parcel totaling approximately 5.3 acres located south of the Citrus Fairgrounds adjacent and west of South Cloverdale Blvd.

Lot A of the Thyme Square property will be developed with affordable housing pursuant to an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (“ENA”) with Integrated Community Development (“ICD”). ICD is currently developing plans to provide up to 30 affordable housing units, with the potential of additional units being proposed under a density bonus.

Lot B of the Thyme Square property, consisting of approximately 2.6 +/- acres, was sold in January 2022 for $1.5 million to Alexander Valley Healthcare, a Federally Qualified Health Center, for a health and wellness center serving Northern Sonoma County. The City Council approved a Purchase and Sale Agreement on February 27, 2019. A development agreement guiding the future development of the project site was approved on March 9, 2022. Sales proceeds were deposited into the Housing Asset Fund in September 2022, however the sales proceeds are restricted by a right of reverter in the Grant Deed. If Alexander Valley Healthcare fails to comply with the terms of the agreement, the City will use the proceeds to pay costs associated with the project at the time that the right of reverter is exercised. After the terms of the development 84 Cloverdale Housing Successor Annual Report FY 2022-23 9 agreement are met, the sales proceeds will be reflected as available cash in the Housing Asset Fund. City staff continues planning and design work for the remainder of the Thyme Square property.

LOANS RECEIVABLE
One loan agreement was transferred from the CCDA to the Housing Successor.

On August 25, 2005, Divine Senior Apartments Associates LP entered into an agreement with the CCDA to acquire and redevelop 2 housing projects comprised of 32 units. The development, collectively known as Divine Senior Apartments, is located at 141 Healdsburg Drive, No. 1 in Cloverdale. A total of 12 units were to be set aside for very low income (30% AMI) households, and 19 units for low income (60% AMI) households. The former CCDA loaned the developer a total of $300,000 at an interest rate of 3%. Of the loan proceeds, $250,000 was to be allocated to project rehabilitation, and the remaining $50,000 was for ungrounding utilities. The loan term is 55 years and there is no prepayment penalty. The annual payments of principal and interest are to be made from “available cash flow” within 120 days after the end of each calendar year. Audited financial statements are due to the city annually within 150 days after the end of the calendar year. Income certification is due to the City annually within 45 days after the end of the calendar year. No loan repayment was made in FY 2022-23.

COMPLIANCE WITH EXPENDITURE & PRODUCTION LIMITS
During FY 2022-23, the Housing Successor was in compliance with all annual and five- to ten-year planning period requirements as described in this section.

Proportionality Requirements
As summarized below, the Housing Successor fully complied with all Housing Asset Fund spending restrictions in FY 2022-23:
• The Housing Successor expended $4,588 on allowable administrative expenses which is well under the maximum limit of $254,500.
• The Housing Successor did not use any Housing Asset Funds for homeless prevention or rapid rehousing expenses and was therefore in compliance with the $250,000 spending restriction. 85 Cloverdale Housing Successor Annual Report FY 2022-23 10 • No affordable housing development-related expenditures have been made during the current fiveyear compliance period of July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2024. Therefore, the Housing Successor meets the five-year income proportionality targets.

The Housing Successor will ensure it continues to meet all Housing Asset Fund expenditure requirements throughout the current five-year compliance period of July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2024 and future fiveyear compliance periods.

Senior Rental Housing Limit Compliance
Pursuant to HSC Section 34176 (b), the Housing Asset Funds may not be used to assist senior rental housing if more than 50% of deed-restricted rental housing units assisted by the CCDA, Housing Successor, or City in the previous 10 years are restricted to seniors. The Housing Successor complies with this limit. Since FY 2013-14, the Housing Successor, City, and the former CCDA have assisted one project, Cherry Creek, with 24 deed-restricted rental units that are not restricted to seniors. Cherry Creek was assisted in FY 2019-20. The Housing Asset Fund may assist up to 24 senior units through FY 2028- 29 if desired.

The Thyme Square site will provide up to 30 affordable units and will reported in this section after affordability covenants are recorded.

Excess Surplus
The Housing Asset Fund may not accumulate an “excess surplus”, or an unencumbered cash balance tht exceeds the greater of $1 million or the sum of deposits in the prior four fiscal years. This requirement ensures that housing successors are actively spending available Housing Asset Funds on affordable housing.

The Housing Successor has not accumulated an excess surplus of Housing Asset Funds since its formation, including in FY 2022-23. As shown in Table 4, the FY 2022-23 beginning unencumbered cash balance of $183,804 was less than $1 million.

Every five years (currently fiscal years ending 2020-2024), Housing Asset Funds must meet income targets:
• At least 30% on extremely low income rental households (up to 30% AMI or “Area Median Income”)
• No more than 20% on low income households (60-80% AMI) Moderate and above moderate income households may not be assisted (above 80% AMI).

Failure to comply with the extremely low income requirement in any five-year compliance period will result in having to ensure that 50 percent of remaining funds be spent on extremely low income rental units until in compliance.

Exceeding the expenditure limit for low households earning between 60-80% AMI in any five-year reporting period will result in not being able to expend any funds on these income categories until in compliance.

Age Targets
Rolling TenYear Period
(looks back at
prior ten
years)
For the prior ten years (resets every year), a maximum of 50% of deed-restricted rental housing units assisted by the Housing Successor or its host jurisdiction may be restricted to seniors.

If a housing successor fails to comply, Housing Asset Funds may not be spent on deed-restricted rental housing restricted to seniors until in compliance.

Consider Amending the Water Leak Adjustment Policy
________________________________________________________________________________________ Recommended Council Action(s):

Adopt a Resolution Entitled, “A Resolution of the Cloverdale City Council Amending the Water Leak Adjustment Policy increasing the one-time $250 credit to a $365 credit to the water bill.” ________________________________________________________________________________________ Background:

In 2005 the City Council revised its Water Leak Adjustment Policy to limit the amount of leak adjustment credits to $200.00 per account. In 2017, the Council adopted Resolution No. 012-2017 amending the City’s Water Leak Adjustment Policy to increase the leak adjustment from $200 to $250. Under the current policy, a leak adjustment credit is allowed one time assuming the account holder can verify that the leak has been corrected. The current maximum leak adjustment amount of $250 has not been changed since fiscal year (fy) 16-17 while water rates have been increased annually with the exception of fy 20-21. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Summary:

City staff recommends that the maximum one-time leak adjustment credit be increased to account for the past annual increases in water rates. To enable the leak adjustment credit amount to follow increases in water rates, staff is recommending that the Council adjust the leak adjustment amount from $250 to $365 (see Table 1).

Meeting Date: March 27, 2024

During the calendar year of 2022, the City issued 26 leak adjustments totaling $4,853, and in 2023 the City issued 31 leak adjustments totaling $6,051.55. During both years, 11 of the accounts would have been eligible for the additional leak adjustment for a total of $1,265 a year. To ensure that the leak adjustment is in line with the increase in water rates over the past 10 years, staff is recommending that Council consider increasing the rate to $365.
_______________________________________________________________________________________ Options:

1. Reject the Resolution; or

2. Provide alternative direction to City staff.
________________________________________________________________________________________ Subcommittee Recommendation:

The Finance, Administration and Police Subcommittee recommended bringing the amended policy forward to the full City Council for approval.
________________________________________________________________________________________ Budget/Financial Impact:

The Finance Director estimates that an increase in the maximum leak adjustment credit will result in a reduction of approximately $1,265 a year in the Water Enterprise Fund ________________________________________________________________________________________ Attachments:

WATER LEAK ADJUSTMENT POLICY
The water service connection, including the meter and the meter box and all distribution lines, will be repaired and maintained by the City at its own expense. The City, however, shall not be responsible for the installation and maintenance of water lines beyond the end of its service connection. (Cloverdale Municipal Code §13.04.330 Maintenance)
On rare occasions, a leak may occur as a result of a crack, breach, or flaw in the property owner’s system and in certain conditions, the City will grant a limited leak credit.

Important information to consider:
• The water leak must not have occurred as a result of a willful or negligent act on the part of the customer.
• Customers must make a written request for a leak adjustment using the attached form and explain the cause of the leak, where the leak occurred, and all other relevant factors. • Proof that the leak was fixed is required. Normally, this will be copies of receipts from the repair person or company, or supply receipts. The customer must be able to demonstrate that the repair was made within a reasonable time.
• The water usage must be two hundred percent (200%) or more of the normal usage based on the last twelve (12) months.
• Water leak credits are limited to $365.00 and only one (1) credit will be granted during the life of the account. Up to two (2) billing cycles demonstrating unusual usage will be eligible for an adjustment.
• To determine normal usage, consumption will be averaged using the previous twelve (12) months of water consumption. If the account is new and does not have a full year of history, the Finance Department staff will estimate average consumption based on available history, usage of similar residences in the neighborhood, and any other relevant factors. • The decision to grant a leak adjustment shall rest solely with the Finance Manager whose decision is final.

The process:
• Once your leak is repaired and you believe you qualify for a leak adjustment, complete the attached form and submit it to the Utility Department at City Hall. • Staff will review your request and if eligible for continued consideration, staff will go to your property and read your meter. The results will be used to determine usage resulting from the leak.
• Staff will calculate the adjustment, and if eligible, will submit all required documentation to the Finance Manager for review.
• Once approved or denied, a copy of the Residential Leak Adjustment Request form will be mailed to you.
• Please submit the balance due prior to the due date on your bill to prevent the assessment of penalties.

18.13.060, Section 18.14.030, Chapter 17.04, Section 17.48.050, Table 18.04.040-A, Table 18.04.050-A, Table 18.05.030-A and Table 18.11.050-A and removing Section 18.02.100 and Chapter 15.34 from the Cloverdale Municipal Code.”
________________________________________________________________________________________ Background:

On April 26, 2023, the City Council adopted the 2023-2031 Housing Element. The City has since received a letter from the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) certifying the Housing Element as being substantially compliant with state law. Included as part of the adopted Housing Element are goals and policies, each with their own implementation programs and schedules for being implemented during the 2023-2031 planning period. The Planning Commission adopted resolution 05-2024 recommending approval of the draft ordinance amendments.

Implementation Program IP-2.3.3 lists specific code changes, some of which were required to be completed by February 2024, and others by April 2024 and April 2025. Although the City was not able to complete all the code amendments listed in IP-2.3.3 by February 2024, staff was able to complete some of the code amendments and has began working on implementing the rest within the time frames detailed above.

The proposed code amendments also include some housekeeping type amendments to ensure internal consistency such as removing the statement that residential uses are not allowed in the S-C zoning district (18.05.020.B & E) and correcting the review and approval process for parcel maps (Title 17). ________________________________________________________________________________________ Summary:

The proposed amendments to the Cloverdale Municipal Code (CMC) primarily are intended to effectuate Implementation Program IP-2.3.3 of the Housing Element, which indicates that the City shall specifically complete the following code changes:

1. Develop a written streamlined application process in accordance with AB 2162, SB 35 and SB 330, including the pre-application and procedure. Written procedures and checklists shall be developed and made available at City Hall and on the City’s website.

2. Eliminate the City’s growth management ordinance (GMO) in compliance with SB 330 (2019).

3. Allow Low Barrier Navigation Centers to be a by-right use in zones where multifamily and mixed uses are permitted, including nonresidential zones where multifamily is permitted. (Government Code 65660)
98 City Council/Successor Agency Agenda Item Summary
Meeting Date: March 27, 2024

4. Allow emergency shelters to be a by-right use in the TOD zone consistent with GC 65583(a)(4).

Also amend parking requirements pursuant to AB 139 to not require more than would be required for an emergency shelter.

5. Allow permanent supportive housing as a by-right use in zones where multifamily and mixed use zoning is permitted, pursuant to AB 2162 (GC 65650).

6. Allow employee housing consisting of no more than 36 beds in group quarters (or 12 units or less) designed for use by a single family or household to be treated as an agricultural use, as required by CA Health and Safety Code Section 17031.6.

7. Allow Residential Care Facilities for 7 or more clients as a permitted use in residential zones, subject only to clear, transparent, objective standards.

8. Amend Density Bonus ordinance for consistency with GC 65915, as amended by AB 2345, AB 2334 and any other applicable changes to State Density Bonus Law, including updated parking and height standards.

9. Amend the Accessory Dwelling Unit ordinance to ensure consistency with changes in State Law.

10. Amend the code to adopt objective design and development standards, and to ensure that the design review procedures and approval criteria are clear and objective.

11. Amend the code to use the maximum parking requirements in GC Section 65915 for all multifamily projects without the need for any developer request.

12. Revise the City’s definition of “family” to refer to an individual or two or more persons living as a single housekeeping unit or household and sharing common living, sleeping, cooking and eating facilities.

13. The City shall maintain resources for developers seeking to utilize these resources and procedures on the City’s website.

a. Design standards contained in Chapter 18.10;
b. Residen�al, commercial and industrial design guidelines; and c. Documents that s�pulate standards and regula�ons governing design.

2. Consistent with exis�ng State law, objec�ve design standards are those that involve no personal or subjec�ve judgment by a public official and are uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark.

Minor changes to the exterior of exis�ng nonresiden�al buildings that require a building permit, including awnings, a change of use in a nonresiden�al building residen�al construc�on involving not more than four units, and reconstruc�on projects involving less than 25 percent of the floor area of an exis�ng on-site building(s) or 3,000 square feet, whichever is less. c. Major.
i. Commercial, industrial, office and residen�al projects (five or more residen�al units per site) which involve the development of vacant land with site and building improvements or structural addi�ons or new buildings which are greater than the standards outlined in 18.03.150(c)(2)(b) on a previously developed site;
ii. Applica�ons involving a change of use such as the conversion of a residen�al structure to an office, commercial, or mixed use;
iii. Projects subject to development approval by the planning commission, such as subdivisions, precise development plans, condi�onal use permits, PUD permits, and variances; iv. Projects subject to the California Environmental Quality Act.

SECTION 5. Sec�on 18.05.020(B) is hereby amended to read:

B. Intent of Downtown Commercial (DTC) Zoning District. The purpose of the downtown commercial (DTC) zoning district is to provide for downtown commercial, cultural and office-related uses which recognize and are compa�ble with the historical, small-town nature of the downtown area. Mul�family residen�al uses are allowed above the first story of a permited commercial or office use or on the first floor subject to Plot Plan Review. The zoning district is established in order to reinforce the image of the downtown as the “heart” of Cloverdale and as a public gathering place; provide for a broad range of pedestrian-oriented commercial, office, ins�tu�onal, cultural, and public uses; and to maximize the efficiency of the city’s downtown district by limi�ng or prohibi�ng uses that break the con�nuity of commercial frontage or are incompa�ble with an atrac�ve pedestrian shopping area; and to promote special architecture and streetscape design that strives to achieve the adopted downtown design elements.

SECTION 6. Sec�on 18.5.020(E) is hereby amended to read:

E. Intent of Service Commercial (S-C) Zoning District. The primary purpose of the service commercial (SC) zoning district is to allow more intensive retail, service and heavy commercial uses including warehousing and wholesale commercial uses. Mul�family residen�al uses are allowed. While the light industrial and heavy commercial uses would normally be expected in industrial areas, the S-C zoning district allows for certain of those uses to be established at in-town loca�ons where they can serve resident needs if the external impacts of those uses do not disturb adjoining residen�al and commercial neighborhoods.

SECTION 22. RECITALS
A. Amendments to Cloverdale Municipal Code (CMC) Title 15 (Buildings and Construc�on), Title 17 (Subdivisions) and Title 18 (Zoning) are necessary to in an effort to effectuate Implementa�on Program IP-2.3.3 of the Housing Element, to ensure consistency between the Cloverdale Municipal Code (CMC), General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, and to bring the code into conformity with state law.

B. On March 5, 2024, the Planning Commission held a properly no�ced public hearing regarding the Zoning and Municipal Code text amendments, considered all comments received in wri�ng and all tes�mony received at the public hearing and adopted PC Resolu�on No. XYZ-2024 recommending approval of the Ordinance amending the Municipal Code in order to improve the general community and residents’ quality of life by ensuring conformity with state law and consistency between the CMC and General Plan.

C. In an effort to implement Implementa�on Program IP-2.3.3 of the Housing Element and to ensure consistency between the CMC, state law and General Plan, the Planning Commission by adop�on of Resolu�on 003-2024 has recommended revisions to CMC Chapter 17.04; Sec�on 17.48.050; Sec�on 18.03.150; Table 18.04.040-A; Table 18.04.050-A; Sec�on 18.05.020(B) & (E); Table 123

18.05.030-A; Sec�on 18.09.180; Chapter 18.09; Sec�on 18.11.020; Table 18.11.050-A; Sec�on

18.13.060; Sec�on 18.14.030 and dele�ng Chapter 15.34 and Sec�on 18.02.100, and revising related provisions of the Cloverdale Municipal Code, to ensure internal consistency would be maintained.

D. An Addendum to the General Plan EIR was adopted for the Housing Element Update. The proposed code amendments are also exempt from CEQA under Sec�on 15061(b)(3)) because they would establish new or revised development standards and future development is s�ll subject to permi�ng and, would s�ll require individual review for compliance with CEQA. Finally, Government Code Sec�on 65852.21 and 66411.7 explicitly state that ordinances such as the one proposed here, adopted in order to implement state law, would not cons�tute a “project” under CEQA.

E. The City Council makes the following findings listed in Sec�on 18.030.080 (E) related to a Zoning Ordinance Amendment to delete Cloverdale Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 15.34: Residen�al Growth Management Plan and Sec�on 18.02.100: Residen�al Growth Management and amend Chapter 17.04; Sec�on 17.48.050; Sec�on 18.03.150; Table 18.04.040-A; Table 18.04.050-A; Sec�on 18.05.020(B) & (E); Table 18.05.030-A; Sec�on 18.09.180; Chapter 18.09; Sec�on

18.11.020; Table 18.11.050-A; Sec�on 18.13.060; Sec�on 18.14.030.

1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the adopted General Plan.

The zoning and municipal code text amendments effectuate implementation of Housing Element Implementation Program IP-2.3.3. At their base, the amendments are intended to reduce regulatory constraints in the housing development process and aid in the ultimate construction of various types of new residential dwelling units. The amendments also help streamline the approval process on a variety of housing unit types and will enable the development of these units affordable to owner and renter households at all income levels.

Finally, as some of the amendments are made to bring various aspects of the Cloverdale Municipal Code (CMC) into compliance with State law, the amendments have been determined to be consistent with the goals, policies and implementation measures of the General Plan.

2. The proposed amendment is internally consistent with other applicable provisions of the Zoning Ordinance.

The text amendments include revisions to various sections of the Zoning and Municipal Code, including delete Cloverdale Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 15.34: Residential Growth Management Plan and Section 18.02.100: Residential Growth Management and amend Chapter 17.04; Section 17.48.050; Section 18.03.150; Table 18.04.040-A; Table 18.04.050-A; Section 18.05.020(B) & (E); Table 18.05.030-A; Section 18.09.180; Chapter 18.09; Section

18.11.020; Table 18.11.050-A; Section 18.13.060; Section 18.14.030 These amendments are internally consistent with all applicable provisions of the Zoning and Municipal Code as they have been revised to reduce regulatory constraints in the housing development process and aid in the ultimate construction of various types of new residential dwelling units by ensuring consistency between the CMC, General Plan and Zoning Ordinance and state law. 124

3. The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or to the use of land in any adjacent zone.

Although one of the main goals of implementing these zoning and municipal code text amendments is to help streamline the approval process for various types of housing units, it does not eliminate the need for a Building Permit. The Building Permit review process ensures that the Building, Planning and Engineer Departments, as well as the Fire District all have an opportunity to review development plans prior to permit issuance. The Building Permit process also helps to ensure that the construction of residential, commercial and industrial structures within the City is not detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties and improvements in the vicinity as construction is required to be in compliance with the latest adopted CA Building and Fire codes.

4. The site is suitable (including absence of physical constraints, access, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and provision of utilities) for the requested Zoning District and anticipated land uses / developments.

The zoning and municipal code text amendments ensure consistency between the CMC, General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, as well as conformity with state laws. All of these amendments implement relaxed standards for uses that are otherwise already allowed or are similar to uses already allowed within the same zoning district or another zoning district within the City. Any future construction is still required to obtain all necessary permits and comply with all applicable development standards.

F. On March 27, 2024, the City Council held a properly noticed public hearing regarding these Zoning and Municipal Code text Amendments and considered all comments received in writing and all testimony received at the public hearing.

SECTION 23. PURPOSE AND INTENT
The purpose and intent of these changes is to improve the general community and residents’ quality of life by ensuring consistency between the CMC, General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, as well as to bring the code into conformity with state law.

SECTION 1. Chapter 18.02.100 is deleted in its en�rety and its space is reserved for future use:

18.02.100 Residen�al growth management. [RESERVED]
The purpose of this sec�on is to regulate residen�al development in an orderly manner. The Cloverdale general plan requires the city to develop a growth management program to allocate an average of seventyfive units per year, but also allow flexibility in the applica�on of the policy so that growth does not exceed three hundred seventy-five units in any five-year period. The program includes a strategy to meet the city’s housing element fair share goals and compact development goals.

The adop�on of this growth management program will assure that growth is consistent with the sewer and water capacity of the city. The general plan is based on a maximum popula�on of twelve thousand by 2025 to assure that popula�on growth does not exceed the city’s planned infrastructure capacity by the year 2025.

Adherence to the growth management program will not prevent the city from ataining its regional fair share housing needs as determined by the Associa�on of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) because the program gives first preference to affordable housing, and the number of housing units allowed exceeds the expected number of fair share units.

A. Administra�on. The city council, by resolu�on, may from �me to �me adopt or amend policies, procedures, rules, and requirements, including the adop�on of a processing fee, to implement and administer the provisions of this growth management program.

B. Annual Residen�al Building Permit Alloca�ons. The following chart iden�fies the annual alloca�on (number of units allowed) in any calendar year and the method for arriving at the annual alloca�on:

B. Building permits issued in the calendar year (entered at the end of the calendar year).

C. Annual alloca�on less permits issued plus seventy-five units for the next year equals the next year’s alloca�on.

D. Moving average of past five years’ permits, with 2010 being year one of the moving average. Five-year moving average may not exceed three hundred seventy-five units.

C. Exemp�ons. The following are exempt from regula�on by the residen�al growth management program:

1. Accessory dwelling units as defined in this �tle and legally exempted under California Government Code Sec�on 65852.2.

4. Community care facili�es, homeless shelters, healthcare facili�es, elder care facili�es, nursing homes, and sanitariums.

D. Alloca�on Procedures.

SECTION 5. Sec�on 18.05.020(B) is hereby amended to read:

B. Intent of Downtown Commercial (DTC) Zoning District. The purpose of the downtown commercial (DTC) zoning district is to provide for downtown commercial, cultural and office-related uses which recognize and are compa�ble with the historical, small-town nature of the downtown area. Residen�al uses are allowed above the first story or behind a commercial building on Cloverdale Boulevard, 1st Street between Commercial Street and Main Street, and 2nd Street between Commercial Street and Main Street; and at the ground floor and above on other streets in the DTC zoning district at ground floor and above. Mul�family residen�al uses are allowed above the first story of a permited commercial or office use or on the first floor subject to Plot Plan Review. The zoning district is established in order to reinforce the image of the downtown as the “heart” of Cloverdale and as a public gathering place; provide for a broad range of pedestrian-oriented commercial, office, ins�tu�onal, cultural, and public uses; and to maximize the efficiency of the city’s downtown district by limi�ng or prohibi�ng uses that break the con�nuity of commercial frontage or are incompa�ble with an atrac�ve pedestrian shopping area; and to promote special architecture and streetscape design that strives to achieve the adopted downtown design elements.

SECTION 6. Sec�on 18.5.020(E) is hereby amended to read:

E. Intent of Service Commercial (S-C) Zoning District. The primary purpose of the service commercial (SC) zoning district is to allow more intensive retail, service and heavy commercial uses including warehousing and wholesale commercial uses. Mul�family residen�al uses are not allowed. While the light industrial and heavy commercial uses would normally be expected in industrial areas, the S-C zoning district allows for certain of those uses to be established at in-town loca�ons where they can serve resident needs if the external impacts of those uses do not disturb adjoining residen�al and commercial neighborhoods.

SECTION 11. Chapter 18.090.180 is amended to read:

A. The purpose of these standards is to ensure that accessory dwelling units (ADUs) located in any zoning district do not adversely impact either adjacent parcels or the surrounding neighborhood, and are developed in a manner which protects the integrity of the zoning district, while providing for needed housing opportuni�es for owners of eligible parcels. Accessory dwelling unit(s) may be established by the conversion of an a�c, basement, garage (with replacement of covered parking) or other por�on of a residen�al structure. Detached accessory dwelling units may also be established by the conversion of an accessory structure or by new construc�on. The city has determined that accessory dwelling units which are allowed on parcels with primary residences:

1. Provide for unmet housing needs;

2. Provide for efficient use of exis�ng public infrastructure; and

3. Provide rela�vely affordable housing.

B. Applicability. Accessory dwelling units are permited in any zoning district that permits residen�al uses, as well as on parcels that are developed with residen�al uses, subject to building permit approval. The primary dwelling unit(s) shall be completed and occupied prior or simultaneous to occupying an accessory dwelling unit. [Government Code Sec�on 65852.2 shall supersede the permi�ng requirements and development standards outlined in this sec�on.] C. Property Development Standards. Accessory dwelling units shall comply with exis�ng building and fire codes, and any applicable design criteria, including but not limited to setbacks, height limits and maximum floor area ra�o. Accessory dwelling units are exempt from density calcula�ons. For purposes of reviewing a project for compliance with the applicable lot coverage, floor area ra�o and related development standards, an accessory dwelling unit is not considered an “accessory structure” or an “accessory use” as established under the provisions of Chapter

18.14 (Zoning Code Defini�ons). In addi�on, the following standards shall apply:

SECTION 12. Chapter 18.11.020 is amended to read:
144

18.11.020 Applicability.

A. General Requirements. Off-street parking facili�es shall be provided prior to occupancy of any structure herea�er built, enlarged, or altered in use. Such parking shall be permanently available and marked and maintained for parking purposes.

1. Building or other permits will be issued only a�er receipt of site plans clearly showing the design, loca�on, number and dimensions for parking facili�es and appurtenant features, according to the provisions of this chapter and construc�on standards of the city.

2. At the �me of major altera�on or enlargement of a structure or use there shall be provided off-street parking spaces in accord with this chapter.

3. A minor excep�on to parking requirements may be granted by the planning director for change in use or expansions of commercial development or for addi�ons to single-family residences in certain circumstances. See Chapter 18.03. (Ord. 735-2020 § 5 (Exh. F)(part), 2020: Ord. 714-2017 § 4 (Exh. J) (part), 2017: Ord. 698-2015 § 3 (At. 1) (part), 2015) [B. Excep�ons: Parking requirements outlined in Government Code Sec�on 65863.2 shall supersede the parking requirements outlined in this sec�on.]
SECTION 13. Chapter 18.13.060 is amended to read:

18.13.060 Density bonus provisions.

A. The city will grant density bonuses in accordance with California Government Code Section 69515 and following and any successor statutes. On the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter, California Government Code Section 65915 and following required a density bonus of up to thirty-five percent when a developer of housing agrees or proposes to construct units affordable to very low to moderate income households. The bonus will be offered on a sliding scale and will be available to projects in which at least five percent of the total units of a housing development are affordable to very low income households, ten percent of the total units of a housing development are affordable to low income households, or ten percent of the total housing units of a housing development are affordable to moderate income households. In addition, the city will grant up to three incentives or concessions that provide a minimum percentage of affordable units, pursuant to state law.

B. The city may grant a density bonus of forty percent in the R-2, R-3, R-CT, S-C and C-R zoning districts when a developer of housing agrees or proposes to construct fifty percent of the total units of a housing development to be affordable by very low and lower income households upon approval of a conditional use permit pursuant to this code.

C. Density bonus units may be used to satisfy the fifteen percent inclusionary housing requirement only if the density bonus units meet the affordability and design standards for inclusionary units 145
in accordance with this chapter. The planning commission may allow alternative designs or types of units for density bonus units that are not also inclusionary units.

For the purposes of this section, a concession or incentive means any of the following:

1. Reduction or elimination of the covered parking requirement;

2. Grant of a fifteen percent increase in permitted lot coverage;

3. Ten percent reduction in the number of required parking spaces;

4. Ten percent reduction in the required rear yard setback; and

5. Other regulatory incentives or concessions proposed by the developer or the city that result in identifiable cost reductions to assist in providing affordable units.

Nothing in this chapter prohibits the city from providing or requires the city to provide direct financial incentives for the affordable housing development, including, but not limited to, providing publicly owned land or waiver of in-lieu fees or dedication requirements. (Ord. 714-2017 § 4 (Exh. K) (part), 2017: Ord. 698-2015 § 3 (Att. 1) (part), 2015)
[A. Density bonuses and incentives shall be offered by the City pursuant to the provisions of Government Code Chapter 4.3.

B. Parking ratios shall be allowed for affordable housing pursuant to the provisions of Government Code Chapter 4.3.

C. These density bonus and incen�ve provisions shall be understood to be amended by opera�on of law in the event and to the extent the State Density Bonus Law is amended.] SECTION 14. Chapter 18.14.030 is amended to read:
“Emergency shelter” means a lodging facility sponsored and/or administered by a governmental or nonprofit social services organiza�on for the purpose of providing temporary housing for homeless families or individuals, batered women or children, or for similar social service or charitable purposes. [“Employee Housing” means housing for five or more employees that meets the following criteria:
• Living quarters provided in connec�on with any work, whether or not rent is involved. • Housing in a rural area that is:
o Provided by someone who is not an agricultural employer, and 146
o Provided for agricultural workers employed by any agricultural employer.] “Equipment rental yard” or “contractor yard” means a use providing for maintenance, servicing, or storage of motor vehicles, equipment or supplies; or for the dispatching of service vehicles; or distribu�on of supplies or construc�on materials required in connec�on with a business ac�vity, public u�lity service, transporta�on service or similar ac�vity. The term “contractor yard” shall include a construc�on materials yard, vehicular service center; or similar use. “Family” means an individual or two or more persons, not including domes�c employees, living as a single housekeeping unit or household and sharing common living, sleeping, cooking and ea�ng facili�es.
“Farm” means any premises on which a primary use is the breeding, raising, or maintaining of animals or raising of crops for sale or where the primary income from the premises is derived from such uses.

SECTION 15. Chapter 18.14.030 is amended to read:
“Lot width” means the horizontal distance between the side lot lines, measured at right angles to the lot depth at a point midway between the front and the rear lot lines.

15.34.050 Annual review of inventory of residential approvals and determination of annual expected units.

A. Annual Review of Inventory of Residential Approvals. Commencing on October 1st, but occurring no later than December 1st of each calendar year, the city council shall review an inventory of residential development approvals, as administratively determined by the planning department. The inventory shall be determined as of October 1st of each year and thereafter promptly reported to the city council. The inventory shall name all projects under city review, or previously approved by city action, and their infrastructure and public service requirements. The planning department shall report the relative percentages of the different housing types existing in, and proposed for development in the city and in relation to the policies of the Cloverdale general plan and its housing element thereof.

B. Classification of Residential Approvals. The inventory shall categorize all pending residential projects per the system described in Section 15.34.060D, Determination of Eligibility of Residential Development Projects. The inventory shall quantify all projects as to the number of units impending or likely to be 155
constructed over the next calendar year. The city shall classify those units as impending as those having filed a building permit application or associated with a project having a recorded or unrecorded final map with all public streets installed and accepted or what is described in Section 15.34.060(D)(1)-(3).

C. Commencement of Yearly Infrastructure Audit and Establishment of Annual Residential Allotment Based on Projected Residential Units. If the inventory described above documents the existence of two hundred or more impending residential units projected over the next calendar year, the city council shall direct the preparation on an infrastructure audit and the establishment of an annual residential allotment, as described in Section 15.34.060. The tally of the two hundred residential units shall include those having filed a building permit application or those associated with a project having a recorded or unrecorded final map with all public streets installed and accepted or what is described in Section

15.34.060(D)(1)-(3). If the city council finds that, based on the inventory conducted by the city, the number of residential units projected over the next calendar year will not exceed two hundred in number, the city council shall adopt findings to accept the inventory and to defer the requirement for an infrastructure audit and establishment of an annual residential allotment.

D. Commencement of Yearly Infrastructure Audit and Establishment of Annual Residential Allotment by City Council Action. Upon reviewing the inventory and determining that the number of residential units projected for the next calendar year is less than two hundred, the city council may direct that the infrastructure audit and/or annual residential allotment be initiated pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.34.060. In order to initiate the preparation of the infrastructure audit and/or annual residential allotment for a calendar year in which the number of units are estimated to be less than two hundred, the city council shall adopt findings indicating the existence of special or extenuating circumstances. Such extenuating circumstances would include the need to further document any significant deficiencies in city infrastructure or public services or a concern with the cumulative number of residential units constructed over past years. (Ord. 514-96 (part), 1996)

15.34.060 Infrastructure audit and establishment of annual residential allotments.

The following section would apply only under the provisions identified in Section 15.34.050, specifically when the yearly inventory finds more than two hundred units are projected over the next calendar year or by special action of the city council.

A. Infrastructure Audit and Review of Public Services. Commencing on October 1st of each calendar year, but occurring no later than December 1st of the same calendar year, the city council shall conduct an infrastructure audit and review of public services. The number of residential allotments for each succeeding calendar year shall be determined by the city council following their review of the infrastructure audit and review of public services, or hereinafter referred to as “audit.” The elements to be considered in the audit shall reasonably attempt to include the information, evaluations and determinations set forth below, as necessarily limited by the ready availability of such information to evaluate such matters and in light of whether specific level of service or other criteria for measurement has been established for the particular service, facility or infrastructure element by the city council. In the absence of a specific level of service or other criteria for measuring the provision of public service, facility or infrastructure, the city council may reasonably determine the impact of new residential development based upon the best professional judgment of the officers and employees of the city responsible for the provision of such public functions and upon such other information as they determine relevant. The audit shall consist of the following elements:

1. Public Facilities and Infrastructure. Whether sufficient capacity of the following public facilities and infrastructure exists to serve new development and whether capacities or levels of service will fall below 156
standards contained in the city general plan, development impact fee program or capital improvement program:
a. Traffic levels of service on streets, intersections and interchanges identified in the Cloverdale general plan;
b. Water entitlement, distribution, storage, and treatment capacity; c. Wastewater collection and treatment capacity;
d. Drainage and flood control capacity;
e. Park, recreation and community facilities.

2. Public Services. Whether sufficient resources exist or can otherwise be made available for the following services to support new development and whether capacities or levels of service will fall below standards contained in the city general plan, development impact fee program or capital improvement program:

b. Fire protection, including the availability of necessary equipment and support services to the fire district;
c. Maintenance of public facilities relating to parks, landscape, trees, buildings, streets, water/sewer/drainage systems including availability of necessary equipment and support services to the public works department.

To assist in the compilation of information on the level of public services within the community, the city manager shall request independently developed and prepared reports from other public agencies, including the Cloverdale school district and Cloverdale health care district, as to school and ambulance services, for inclusion into the audit and presentation before the city council.

B. Establishment of Yearly Development Allotment. Commencing on October 1st of each calendar year, but occurring no later than December 1st, the city council shall hold a public hearing, review the findings of the audit, and establish the maximum number of units of residential development which could be constructed given the availability of city public facilities, services and infrastructure. The staff report to the city council containing the yearly audit shall be available for public review a minimum of ten calendar days prior to the public hearing. The public hearing notice advertising the meeting of the city council shall reference the availability of the staff report and a location where it can be reviewed and/or obtained.

After conducting the public hearing, the city council, by resolution, shall adopt findings as to the availability or nonavailability (i.e., deficit) of public services, facilities and infrastructure and determine the amount of units which could be built during the next calendar year. The city council may also allocate units geographically within the city if its finds that a public service, facility or infrastructure deficit exists that adversely affects a particular area. Conversely, the city council may increase the allotment for a particular geographical area of the city provided a developer wishes to correct a deficit by financing or constructing the facility or service in question. The allotment of residential units by the city council shall extend for each calendar year or from January 1st to December 31st. 157
C. Procurement of Development Allotments. By January 1st of each calendar year, the city council shall issue allotments for building permits for the next calendar year extending from January 1st to December 31st. All developers wishing to construct a residential development which is not exempt from the provisions of this chapter as noted in Section 15.34.040 above, shall apply for, and obtain an allotment.

Applications for allotments can be submitted during the entire calendar year, provided such allotments are still available, but will only be valid during the calendar year when such application was made to the city. All applications for allotments will be accepted and approved on a chronological or first-come, fastserved basis and officially issued upon the procurement of a building permit. All allotments approved during the calendar year shall be automatically prioritized and counted toward the maximum number of allotments determined by the city council.

The application for a development allotment shall be submitted as follows:

1. Any application for a development allotment shall be made in the form specified by the city council and shall include all of the information requested.

2. The application shall be accompanied by the application processing fee as set by the city council.

3. The date the application shall be deemed filed is the date the application is submitted and determined to be complete by the planning department in accordance with the criteria established in subsection (C)(1) of this section.

4. The planning department shall administratively act upon all applications deemed complete within thirty days.

D. Determination of Eligibility for Residential Development Projects. All residential development projects for which developers seek an allotment shall have completed the following approvals by either the planning commission or city council in order to receive an allotment.

E. Duration of Allotment. If the final permit, subdivision map or other city approval granted by either the planning commission or city council for a development project expires, the allotments issued to it shall become void as to that project, but, to the extent possible, shall be reissued to other development projects seeking allotments during that year. If the final permit, subdivision map or other city approval granted by either the planning commission or city council for a development is extended, the allotment issued to that project shall continue to be valid in accordance with the terms of their issuance. (Ord. 514-96 (part), 1996)

15.34.070 Administration.

A. Amendments to Cloverdale Municipal Code (CMC) Title 15 (Buildings and Construc�on), Title 17 (Subdivisions) and Title 18 (Zoning) are necessary to in an effort to effectuate Implementa�on Program IP-2.3.3 of the Housing Element, to ensure consistency between the Cloverdale Municipal Code (CMC), General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, and to bring the code into conformity with state law.

B. On March 5, 2024, the Planning Commission held a properly no�ced public hearing regarding the Zoning and Municipal Code text amendments, considered all comments received in wri�ng and all tes�mony received at the public hearing and adopted PC Resolu�on No. XYZ-2024 recommending approval of the Ordinance amending the Municipal Code in order to improve the general community and residents’ quality of life by ensuring conformity with state law and consistency between the CMC and General Plan.

C. In an effort to implement Implementa�on Program IP-2.3.3 of the Housing Element and to ensure consistency between the CMC, state law and General Plan, the Planning Commission by adop�on of Resolu�on 003-2024 has recommended revisions to CMC Chapter 17.04; Sec�on 17.48.050; Sec�on 18.03.150; Table 18.04.040-A; Table 18.04.050-A; Sec�on 18.05.020(B) & (E); Table

18.05.030-A; Sec�on 18.09.180; Chapter 18.09; Sec�on 18.11.020; Table 18.11.050-A; Sec�on

18.13.060; Sec�on 18.14.030 and dele�ng Chapter 15.34 and Sec�on 18.02.100, and revising related provisions of the Cloverdale Municipal Code, to ensure internal consistency would be maintained.
159
D. An Addendum to the General Plan EIR was adopted for the Housing Element Update. The proposed code amendments are also exempt from CEQA under Sec�on 15061(b)(3)) because they would establish new or revised development standards and future development is s�ll subject to permi�ng and, would s�ll require individual review for compliance with CEQA. Finally, Government Code Sec�on 65852.21 and 66411.7 explicitly state that ordinances such as the one proposed here, adopted in order to implement state law, would not cons�tute a “project” under CEQA.

E. The City Council makes the following findings listed in Sec�on 18.030.080 (E) related to a Zoning Ordinance Amendment to delete Cloverdale Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 15.34: Residen�al Growth Management Plan and Sec�on 18.02.100: Residen�al Growth Management and amend Chapter 17.04; Sec�on 17.48.050; Sec�on 18.03.150; Table 18.04.040-A; Table 18.04.050-A; Sec�on 18.05.020(B) & (E); Table 18.05.030-A; Sec�on 18.09.180; Chapter 18.09; Sec�on

18.11.020; Table 18.11.050-A; Sec�on 18.13.060; Sec�on 18.14.030.

1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the adopted General Plan.

The zoning and municipal code text amendments effectuate implementation of Housing Element Implementation Program IP-2.3.3. At their base, the amendments are intended to reduce regulatory constraints in the housing development process and aid in the ultimate construction of various types of new residential dwelling units. The amendments also help streamline the approval process on a variety of housing unit types and will enable the development of these units affordable to owner and renter households at all income levels.

Finally, as some of the amendments are made to bring various aspects of the Cloverdale Municipal Code (CMC) into compliance with State law, the amendments have been determined to be consistent with the goals, policies and implementation measures of the General Plan.

2. The proposed amendment is internally consistent with other applicable provisions of the Zoning Ordinance.

The text amendments include revisions to various sections of the Zoning and Municipal Code, including delete Cloverdale Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 15.34: Residential Growth Management Plan and Section 18.02.100: Residential Growth Management and amend Chapter 17.04; Section 17.48.050; Section 18.03.150; Table 18.04.040-A; Table 18.04.050-A; Section 18.05.020(B) & (E); Table 18.05.030-A; Section 18.09.180; Chapter 18.09; Section

Although one of the main goals of implementing these zoning and municipal code text amendments is to help streamline the approval process for various types of housing units, it does not eliminate the need for a Building Permit. The Building Permit review process ensures that the Building, Planning and Engineer Departments, as well as the Fire District all have an opportunity to review development plans prior to permit issuance. The Building Permit process also helps to ensure that the construction of residential, commercial and industrial structures within the City is not detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties and improvements in the vicinity as construction is required to be in compliance with the latest adopted CA Building and Fire codes.

4. The site is suitable (including absence of physical constraints, access, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and provision of utilities) for the requested Zoning District and anticipated land uses / developments.

The zoning and municipal code text amendments ensure consistency between the CMC, General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, as well as conformity with state laws. All of these amendments implement relaxed standards for uses that are otherwise already allowed or are similar to uses already allowed within the same zoning district or another zoning district within the City. Any future construction is still required to obtain all necessary permits and comply with all applicable development standards.

F. On March 27, 2024, the City Council held a properly noticed public hearing regarding these Zoning and Municipal Code text Amendments and considered all comments received in writing and all testimony received at the public hearing.

SECTION 23. PURPOSE AND INTENT
The purpose and intent of these changes is to improve the general community and residents’ quality of life by ensuring consistency between the CMC, General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, as well as to bring the code into conformity with state law.
