Staff Report to City Council
FOR THE JULY 24, 2024 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
From: Ron Walker, City Manager
Prepared by: Shanna Stahl – Administrative Services Officer Subject: Cash Summary – June 2024
Budget Impact Overview:

N/A: √ Funded: Un-funded: Amount: Fund(s):

Summary/Background
The monthly financial report includes General Fund Reserved Cash Analysis Graphs and the City of Colfax Cash Summary Report (with supporting documentation). The purpose of these reports is to provide the status of funds and transparency for Council and the public regarding the financial transactions of the City. The reports are prepared monthly on a cash basis and are reconciled to the General Ledger accounting system, previous reports, and bank statements. Detailed budget comparisons are provided as a mid-year report and as part of the proposed budget process each year.

The attached reports reflect an overview of the financial transactions of the City of Colfax in June 2024. Some monthly highlights are listed below:
• June revenues included:
o Allocation for Sales Tax revenues reported/paid to the State for the month of April 2024 (twomonth lag). • June expenditures included:
o Approved capital project expenditures – expenditures on WWTP Construction Grant and other grant funded projects.
o Placer County Sheriff payment for 4th quarter fiscal year 2023/2024. • Negative cash fund balances at the end of June are primarily due to the timing of funding allocations and reimbursements:
o Fund 250 – Streets – Roads/Transportation. These expenses are funded by annual Transportation funding through Placer County Transportation Agency (PCTPA), transfer of City Gas Tax revenues, and a General Fund allocation. Allocations and transfers will be recorded with the final fiscal year accounting processes.
o Fund 300 – Corporation Yard – This is the project for installation of a metal storage building at the Corporation Yard. Funded by General Fund 100. The installation of the building is complete.

Final billing is pending.
o Fund 358 – CDBG Road Rehabilitation. This is a reimbursable grant – the final funding of the grant was awarded in November. CDBG has approved the start date of expenditures. The City has begun the reimbursement process. City restricted Streets funds will also be used on this project as the City match.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept and File.

City of Colfax O’Reilly Design Review Permit
Staff Report July 24, 2024 Page 2
parapets provide some interest along the wall plane (see Attachment 2, Project Exhibits). The project will face Interstate 80 and will be visible.

Paints
The building includes Sherwin Williams colors, specifically Sandblast and is accented with Positive Red. The brick would be painted Dove Gray Velour.

Grading
The site slopes at an approximately 6% grade from north to south. The site will be graded to provide a more even building area and will be designed to balance the earthwork on the site. Retaining walls would be provided at the corner of Whitcomb and Auburn.

Access
The main access to the site will be from a new driveway on S Auburn Street on the southern end of the property. Access will also be provided to the rear of the project site from Whitcomb. There is a 25-foot access easement that will be maintained through the rear of the property that connects with the adjacent Best Western Hotel.

The project plan also includes new curbs, gutters, and sidewalks along the property frontage of South Auburn Street. The existing sidewalk on Whitcomb will be maintained.

Parking
Per the City’s municipal code, one parking space is required per 500 square feet of retail space, therefore, the project requires 14 spaces, and 25 spaces are proposed including one ADA accessible which exceeds the City’s standards.

Landscaping
The project includes a landscaping plan with planted islands and perimeter trees, shrubs, and ground cover, as well as planting along South Auburn Street. Ornamental trees include Hawthorne and Ash, and shrubs include mountain mahogany shrubs, deer grass, and ornamental flowers such as Mexican Evening Primrose, among others. Area lighting and fire hydrants are placed as required.

Utilities
A drainage plan calls for collection stormwater runoff on-site and through the storm interceptor to the existing storm drain for the project area.

New water and sewer connections would be required.

PROJECT ANALYSIS:

General Plan/Zoning Consistency:

The General Plan designation for the subject property is Commercial.

The project is zoned Commercial Retail (C-R).

The proposed project is in compliance with the City of Colfax General Plan and Zoning Code for setbacks, height, and design.

Item 6A20
City of Colfax O’Reilly Design Review Permit
Staff Report July 24, 2024 Page 3
In the C-R Zoning District there are no required setbacks for the front or sides, and a ten-foot setback is required for the rear. The proposed building is setback 50-feet from S Auburn Street and 14-feet from Whitcomb Avenue, and 30-feet from the rear.

The maximum height allowed is 30 feet and the proposed building is one-story with a height of 22 feet.

Architecture – As illustrated in the project plans the project is generally compatible with the development in the vicinity.

Site Design:
• Neighborhood Compatibility – With the site located on South Auburn Street the project will be directly visible from Interstate 80 to the east. While it will be visible it is consistent with other developments in the vicinity and would not be detrimental to the aesthetics of the area. The project site is adjacent to the Dollar Store to the north, the Best Western Hotel to the south, and professional offices and multi-family residences to the northwest. No residential uses of the site. Overall, the project is compatible with the surrounding land uses.
• Parking – The parking plan for the project, as described herein, is in conformance with the parking requirements of City Municipal Code.
• Signage – The project proposes a wall sign and a monument site. A Sign Permit Application will be submitted to the City for approval prior to installation. • Landscaping – the site plan submitted with the application is compatible with the retail use and surrounding neighborhood. The proposed trees and shrubs will provide color, shade, and accents to the site.

Project Review by Outside Agencies:

The proposed map, site plan, and project description were submitted to interested/affected outside agencies for informal consultation. Comments received include the following:
• Placer County Water Agency sent a letter confirming that water service would need to be extended to the site from nearby existing infrastructure.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

CEQA Guideline Section 15332 identifies the Class 32 categorical exemption for projects characterized as infill development. This exemption is intended to promote infill development within urbanized areas. The class consists of environmentally benign in-fill projects which are consistent with local general plan and zoning requirements. This class is not intended to be applied to projects which would result in any significant traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality effects. There is no reasonable possibility that the project would have a significant effect on the environment.

FISCAL
The Project was funded by the Applicant with Planning Fees through the Design Review Permit Application process.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLFAX
APPROVING DESIGN REVIEW PERMIT DP 24-01 TO ALLOW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN O’REILLY AUTO PARTS STORE LOCATED AT 781 S

AUBURN STREET
WHEREAS, an application has been filed by the O’Reilly Auto Parts Corporation for a Design Review Permit to construct a 6,890 square-foot retail commercial building on a vacant 0.768-acre site in the C-R (Retail Commercial) zone at the northeast corner of S Auburn Street and Whitcomb Avenue.

WHEREAS, on July 24, 2024, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing and at the time considered all testimony, written and oral; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Colfax does hereby resolve, find and determine and order as follows:

SECTION 1: the above recitations are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.

SECTION 2: The Colfax Municipal Code authorizes the City Council to grant a Design Review Permit (DP 24-01) upon making certain findings. The City Council made the following findings for the project:

Findings:

1. The project as approved allows beneficial use to be made of the site for development, preserves and accentuates the natural features of the property, such as open space, topography, trees, wetlands, and water courses, and provides adequate drainage for the project.

The proposed project will allow for retail uses that support local residents and businesses and is designed to meet the natural features of the property.

2. The project site design as approved provides access, vehicle parking, vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle circulation, loading areas, landscaping and irrigation and lighting which results in a safe, efficient, and harmonious development and which is consistent with the applicable goals, policies and objectives set forth in the general plan and the design guidelines established for that zone district.

Site distance on S Auburn Street from the proposed entrance to the site is adequate, as analyzed in the Traffic Study dated May 17, 2024, prepared by TJKM, traffic consultants. Adequate parking, and pedestrian and bicycle access is sufficient. The proposed landscaping, lighting, sidewalks, curbs and gutters and storm drain facilities are consistent with City standards.

Item 6A23
City of Colfax 2
Resolution __-2024 O’Reilly Design Review Permit

3. The building design, including the materials, colors, height, bulk, size and relief, and the arrangement of the structures on the site, as approved is harmonious with other development and buildings in the vicinity and which is consistent with the applicable goals, policies and objectives set forth in the general plan and the design guidelines established for that zone district.

The proposed architecture, colors and materials and height and bulk of the proposed one-story building is similar to other retail uses in the vicinity, consistent with the General Plan and Zoning District.

Staff Report to City Council
FOR THE JULY 24, 2024 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
From: Ron Walker, City Manager
Prepared by: Kathy Pease, AICP, Planning Consultant
Subject: Torok Design Review Permit
Budget Impact Overview:

N/A: Funded: √ Un-funded: Amount: Fund(s):Planning Fees PROJECT NOTICE This hearing has been noticed in accordance with the requirements of California Planning and Zoning Law, Title 17, Chapter 65000, Government Code, as amended.

PROJECT SUMMARY:

Project Title: Torok Design Review Permit
Applicant/Owner: Timea Torok
Location 1225 Highway 174
Land Use (existing) Vacant
Surrounding Uses:

North: JS West Propane Tank Business
South: Existing residential
East: Vacant- Railroad Tracks
West: Vacant- Highway 174
Assessor Parcel No: 101-010-046
Zoning District: Industrial
General Plan: Industrial
SURROUNDING LAND USES AND SETTING:

The project site is located east of State Highway 174, and west of the Southern Pacific Railroad line. The site is 1.7-acres and is vacant with existing vegetation and pine trees. No trees would be removed as part of the project.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to construct a small 640 square foot prefabricated industrial building, procured from Pioneer Steel Manufacturers Limited. The building would be 25-feet wide and 25- feet long, with a height of 16-feet. The style is commonly referred to as a Quonset Hut design.

Normally, the City’s Design Guidelines would require the building to include colors and RECOMMENDED ACTION: Conduct a public hearing, discuss and adopt resolution No. __ 2024 for Application DP-2024-02 Design Review Permit to allow development of an industrial prefabricated building located at 1225 Highway 174.

Item 6B31
2 City of Colfax Torok Design Review Permit
Staff Report July 24, 2024
materials compatible with the Downtown historic nature of the town. However, in this instance, the site is not visible from surrounding areas, and other similar Quonset style industrial buildings exist in the area. This building would support an online wholesale car sales business. No members of the public would be onsite and no vehicles would be stored on site.

Materials
The proposed building be entirely of grey rust proof galvanized aluminum steel with an entry door on one end with a roll up door. The structure would be xx feet in height.

Grading
Minimal pad grading would be required to accommodate the building.

Access
The main access to the site is off of Highway 174, and through an easement with an adjacent property owner. The driveway would be extended to the site. The site is located below the grade of Highway 174 and is not visible from the street. Pine trees and vegetation screen the use from view.

Parking
Per the City’s municipal code, one parking space is required per 500 square feet of retail space, therefore, the project requires 2 parking spaces which are proposed including one ADA accessible which meets the City’s standards.

Landscaping.

The project includes a landscaping plan with planted areas around the building including shrubs and ground cover, as well as tree planting at the entrance to the site.

Utilities
No public water or sewer service is available on the site. A water well was constructed through Placer County previously.

The site is located more than 300 feet from the City of Colfax sewer services; therefore, the project would not be required to connect to the City’s system. An onsite septic system is proposed, which would require permits through Placer County. Prior to occupancy the applicant will be required to verify water well and septic system have been properly permitted through Placer County.

General Plan and Zoning Consistency
The General Plan designation for the subject property is Industrial.

The project is zoned Industrial.

The proposed project is in compliance with the City of Colfax General Plan and Zoning Code for setbacks, height and design.

Item 6B32
3 City of Colfax Torok Design Review Permit
Staff Report July 24, 2024
In the I Zoning District there are no required setbacks for the front or sides, and a ten-foot setback is required for the rear. The proposed building is setback 50-feet from Auburn Street and 14-feet from Whitcomb Avenue, and 30-feet from the rear.

Maximum Height. There shall be no height requirements in the industrial districts, except that within one hundred (100) feet of the boundary of any adjoining district, no building shall exceed the height limit established for a main building in such adjoining district. In this instance the proposed building is one story in height and consistent with other buildings in the area.

Area, Lot Coverage and Yards. There shall be no area, lot coverage and yard requirements in the industrial districts, except that for any parcel in an industrial district having a lot line in common with a lot in an adjoining district from such adjoining district, the front, side and rear yards as prescribed for such adjoining district shall be maintained. The proposed building is adjacent to existing residential uses to the south, although those uses are not visible from the property; and those residential uses are zoned Industrial. The proposed building would be setback over 100- feet from any property line on the parcel and screened by existing vegetation.

Architecture – As illustrated in the project plans the project is generally compatible with the development in the vicinity.

Site Design:
• Neighborhood Compatibility –The project will not be directly visible from Highway 174 to the west and is generally consistent with other industrial developments in the vicinity and would not be detrimental to the aesthetics of the area. Overall, the project is compatible with the surrounding land uses.
• Parking – The parking plan for the project, as described herein, is in conformance with the parking requirements of City Municipal Code.
• Landscaping – the site plan submitted with the application is compatible with the retail use and surrounding neighborhood. The proposed trees and shrubs will provide color, shade and accents to the site.

Project Review by Outside Agencies:

The proposed map, site plan, and project description were submitted to interested/affected outside agencies for informal consultation. Comments received include the following:
• Placer County Water Agency (PCWA) sent a letter indicating that water service is available in the area. The letter was provided to the applicant and staff recommended that the applicant coordinate with PCWA regarding requirements for service.

Fiscal
There is no impact on the City’s General Fund as a result of this amendment. The applicant is required to pay Design Review Permit application fees

Resolution № __-24

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLFAX
APPROVING DESIGN REVIEW PERMIT DP 24-02 TO ALLOW FOR THE

CONSTRUCTION OF A PRE-FABRICATED INDUSTRIAL BUILDING LOCATED AT 1225 HIGHWAY 174
WHEREAS, an application has been filed by Timea Torok for a Design Review Permit to construct a 640 square-foot retail building on a vacant 1.7-acre site in the I (Industrial) zone at 1225 Highway 174.

SECTION 1: the above recitations are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.

SECTION 2: The Colfax Municipal Code authorizes the City Council to grant a Design Review Permit (DP 24-02) upon making certain findings. The City Council made the following findings for the project:

Findings:

Due to topography (below the grade of Highway 174) and substantial vegetation exists that will screen the use; the proposed building will not be visible from the adjacent roadway. The proposed project will allow online wholesale auto sales, without public access to the site. The proposed structure is small in size and is designed to meet the natural features of the property.

The proposed building is small in scale, and the site design provides adequate parking, and access. The project is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Code.

Item 6B35
City of Colfax 2
Resolution __-2024 Torok Design Review Permit

The proposed architecture, colors and materials and height and bulk of the proposed one-story building is similar to other uses in the vicinity, which include similar pre-fabricated structures.

The use is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning District.

The proposed project including landscaping, placement of the building, and access is harmonious with the site and surrounding area.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Colfax approves the Design Review Permit DP 24-02.

THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION WAS DULY AND REGULARLY ADOPTED at the Regular Meeting of the City Council of the City of Colfax held on the 24th day of July 2024 by the following vote of the Council:

Staff Report to City Council
FOR THE MAY 22, 2024 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
From: Ron Walker, City Manager
Prepared by: Kathy Pease, AICP, Planning Consultant
Subject: Short-Term Rental Ordinance.

Budget Impact Overview:

N/A: Funded: √ Un-funded: Amount: Fund(s): LEAP
Summary/Background
This is a proposal to consider adoption of a Short-Term Rental Ordinance, which would allow any single-family dwelling or accessory dwelling unit located in a residential or commercial zone to be rented in whole or in part on a short-term basis. A short-term basis is defined as thirty (30) calendar days or less to the same person or the same group of persons.

At the January 25, 2023, meeting, the City Council directed staff to draft regulations to allow Short-term Rentals.

At the June 14, 2023, City Council meeting staff brought forward an outline of proposed regulations for the City Council’s consideration and shared the results of an online survey.

Discussion by the City Council at that time included concern with being overly restrictive.

Since that time, staff continued to receive calls from potential applicants, interested in establishing short-term rentals.

The proposed Short Term Rental ordinance strives to balance business-friendly economic development goals while maintaining residential neighborhoods and ensuring that existing near-by residents are not impacted by the use.

Discussion
The proposed Ordinance would amend Chapter 17 of the Colfax Municipal Code, by adding Chapter 17.123, to authorize and regulate Short-Term Rentals within the City. The ordinance would add new definitions, provide clarification on expectations and address permit requirements and conditions of operation.

A Short-Term Rental Permit would be required and would expire twelve (12) months from the date of issuance, unless revoked, suspended or surrendered earlier. The approval of the Short-Term Rental Permit would be administrative. The Permit will authorize the permittee to conduct only such activities and services as described in the Permit and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the permit. Yearly renewal would be required 30 days prior to the expiration of the permit.

Provisions are included in the Ordinance that would allow the city to deny a permit or revoke it if RECOMMENDED ACTION: Introduce the proposed ordinance by title only, conduct a public hearing, waive the first reading and schedule the proposed ordinance for second reading and adoption at the next regular City Council meeting currently scheduled for June 12, 2024, to be effective 30 days after adoption.

there are issues. The applicant would have the ability to appeal such an action to the City Council.

Short Term Rental Regulations
Proposed Short Term Rental Regulations are provided as Attachment 3. The regulations are intended to limit the number of guests, establish quiet hours, and provide notification to surrounding property owners. It is intended to allow only one short term rental on a property at a time. For instance, if there is an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on the property, both the primary dwelling and secondary ADU shall not be rented at the same time, but either may be allowed as a short-term rental.

Proposed limits on the number of Short-Term Rentals is not proposed at this time because while the city has received interest from potential permittees, it is not expected that there will be a large number proposed such as in tourist locations like Lake Tahoe. If in the future, the interest in Colfax is larger than anticipated, staff can always bring the Ordinance back to the City Council to consider limits.

The following are several of the performance standards outlined in the proposed Short-Term Rental Regulations:

Complaints: A responsible contact must be designated for each rental that would be responsible for responding to any complaints within 30 minutes, regardless of time of day.

Noise: No outdoor amplified music would be allowed, and quiet hours between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. would be established.

No special events (weddings, or other commercial activities) would be permitted.

General Plan Consistency Findings:

The proposed Ordinance amending the Municipal Code is consistent with the General Plan because the proposed Ordinance will enhance existing permit procedures and operational standards for the use of residential structures as transient occupancies, thereby ensuring the health and safety of occupants, guests and surrounding residential neighborhoods and minimizing negative effects associated with such uses.

The proposed Ordinance amending the Municipal Code would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the County because the proposed regulations enhance existing permit procedures and operational standards for the use of residential as transient occupancies, thereby ensuring the health and safety of occupants, guests and surrounding residential neighborhoods and minimizing negative effects associated with such uses;
The proposed Ordinance amending the Municipal Code is internally consistent with other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code. The proposed Ordinance adds new definitions, regulations, establishes permit requirements and expands tourist opportunities within the city.

Fiscal
Short-Term Rental applicants would pay a permit fee to cover staff costs associated with processing the permits. In addition, Short-Term Rentals would be subject to the City’s Transient Occupancy Tax. The revenue generated by this tax is dedicated to funding general city services.

City of Colfax
Staff Report May 22, 2023
Environmental Review
The proposed Ordinance qualifies under the “common sense” CEQA exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2) and 15061(b)(3), which provides that, where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that a project may have a significant effect on the environment, the project is not subject to CEQA. CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment – either through direct impact or reasonably foreseeable indirect impact. The proposed Ordinance does not have that possibility.

Direct impact of the proposed Ordinance on the environment will be minor. It is not expected to prompt any new development or direct physical effects. Instead, the expected result of the proposed Ordinance is to establish regulations governing the use of Short-Term Rentals within the City to reduce the potential for impacts. Accordingly, the City believes the “common sense” exemption is most appropriate for this project.

N/A: Funded: Un-funded: √ Amount: Fund(s):

Summary/Background
This is a proposal to consider adoption of a zoning code amendment to the Mixed Use-1 (MU-1) Zoning District to allow additional uses within ground floor retail spaces in the Downtown District.

It was introduced by the City Council at the meeting of May 22, 2024. A public hearing was conducted, the first reading was waived, and the ordinance was slated for a second reading and adoption at the June 26, 2024 City Council meeting.

FOR THE MAY 22, 2024 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
From: Ron Walker, City Manager
Prepared by: Kathy Pease, AICP, Planning Consultant
Subject: MU-1 Zoning Code Amendment, Ground Floor Retail Ordinance.

Budget Impact Overview:

N/A: Funded: √ Un-funded: Amount: Fund(s): LEAP
Summary/Background
This is a proposal to consider adoption of a zoning code amendment to the Mixed Use-1 (MU-1) Zoning District to allow additional uses within ground floor retail spaces in the Downtown District.

According to the Zoning Code: Mixed Use – 1 is applied to Main Street in the Historic Downtown (MU-1) and is intended to retain the historic character of the downtown while providing a vibrant mix of uses in an attractive area where the community and visitors gather to shop, socialize, and recreate, and where residents can live. This district requires that the ground-floor spaces with street frontage be accessible to the public and that uses generate walk-in clientele to contribute to and activate the pedestrian experience along Main Street. Appropriate ground-floor uses with street frontage include retail shops, cafes, restaurants, and other similar uses that generate pedestrian traffic. Currently, spaces without ground-floor street frontage are intended for uses such as offices, residential, and lodging.

Discussion
The proposed Ordinance amendment would amend Chapter 17 of the Colfax Municipal Code, Section 17.74.020, to eliminate some commercial restrictions for ground floor retail space.

Currently the Zoning Code allows many uses by right in the MU-1 District but states that only retail uses can be on the ground floor, other uses are restricted if they have a footnote reference:
(1) Only allowed on the second story or on ground floor portions of buildings that are no less than 30 feet from the front property line.

This means that the following uses would not be allowed to occupy vacant ground floor retail spaces:
• Community services
• Essential services
• Libraries and museums
• Veterinary Clinic
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Introduce the proposed ordinance by title only, conduct a public hearing, waive the first reading and schedule the proposed ordinance for a second reading and adoption at the next regular City Council meeting currently scheduled for June 12, 2024, to be effective 30 days after adoption.

Item 6D57
2 Ground Floor Retail Zoning Code Amendment
City of Colfax
Staff Report May 22, 2023
• Broadcasting and Recording Studios
• Business Support Services
• Offices, Professional
• Personal Services
Staff has recently been contacted by businesses interested in buying and/or occupying spaces that are vacant in the Downtown area, and the way the code reads, none of the proposed uses would be allowed.

According to an article in ModernRetail, the recent retail collapse stems from retailers’ decisions going back more than two decades. Before the internet, stores’ main competition was other stores down the street. As e-commerce arose, more and more retailers entered the market, and consumers had the power of choice, and so brick and mortar retail has been struggling in recent years.

In addition, there are three particular economic trends for American retail recently that may mean it is harder to attract strict retail uses:

1. Retail sales will be kept in check by a general slowing in the economy.

2. Inflation has reduced purchasing power.

3. Consumer spending is increasing in very specific areas, such as bars, restaurants, vacations, and experiences like live sports events.

While the Zoning Code is attempting to protect retail space, it is unclear whether turning away prospective businesses is a wise choice. It may lead to vacant retail spaces that will sit vacant for an extended period of time, waiting for retail uses to come forward.

For example, a busy use like a veterinary clinic on a ground floor would activate the space and bring a steady stream of clients into the Downtown, who may end up staying to eat, or shop while they are running errands, and the business itself would eliminate a vacant space and potential blight in the near term. Therefore, this amendment is intended to allow more flexibility for commercial uses in the Downtown area.

Ground floor space restrictions would remain for residential uses.

General Plan Consistency Findings:

The proposed Ordinance amending the Municipal Code is consistent with the General Plan Mixed use designation which allows for a combination of commercial and residential uses in the downtown area.

This designation allows for shops, restaurants, services, offices, hospitality and other compatible uses.

The proposed Ordinance amending the Municipal Code would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the County because it will support commercial uses already allowed by right in the MU-1 District and support economic development.

The proposed Ordinance amending the Municipal Code is internally consistent with other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code. The proposed Ordinance adds flexibility to allow commercial opportunities within the city.

Fiscal
There is no impact on the City’s General Fund as a result of this amendment.

Environmental Review
The proposed Ordinance qualifies under the “common sense” CEQA exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2) and 15061(b)(3), which provides that, where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that a project may have a significant effect on the environment, the project is not subject to CEQA. CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment – either through direct impact or reasonably foreseeable indirect impact. The proposed Ordinance does not have that possibility.

Direct impact of the proposed Ordinance on the environment will be minor. It is not expected to prompt any new development or direct physical effects. Instead, the expected result of the proposed Ordinance is to allow flexibility in uses already allowed by right. Accordingly, the City believes the “common sense” exemption is most appropriate for this project.
