1.1 Packet Pg. 8
Staff Report to the Mayor and City Council
Extension of Term for Urgency Ordinance
May 3, 2022

BACKGROUND

On May 4, 2021, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. O -03-21, establishing a 45 - day morato rium on the establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouses, distribution centers and truck storage facilities and related uses. The Moratorium was enacted due to the recent and rapid expansion of industrial developments within the City and neighbo ring communities, and particularly the development and expansion of truck terminals, truck/container storage yards, and truck/container parking, which resulted in various adverse impacts, including increased truck traffic, damage to local streets, loss of potential economic revenue, and deteriorating air quality and environmental health.

Pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, the City Council on June 15, 2021, extended the initial 45 -day moratorium for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) da ys. Unless extended the Moratorium will expire on May 3, 2022.

The proposed Urgency Ordinance will extend the Moratorium for an additional one -year term beyond its original expiration date, such that the Moratorium will now expire on May 3, 2023, or until the City Council adopts an ordinance addressing the issues and adverse impacts raised by truck terminals, truck/container storage yards, truck/container parking and other related uses, whichever occurs first.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS

The City Council adopted t he Moratorium on May 4, 2021 and extended on June 15, 2021. The adoption of the Moratorium was necessitated by the fact that warehouse distribution centers have been in high demand due to the growing economy, rise in e -commerce, and decrease in vacant, developable land. This high demand has resulted in related developments such as truck terminals, truck/container storage yards, and truck/container parking uses. These types of uses take up large areas of land, albeit with little to no buildings, that could otherwise be used to construct buildings or other developments that generate tax revenues for the City.

Several Colton Municipal Code Sections authorize the establishment of warehouses, including within the Industrial Park Zone (I -P), Light Manufacturin g Zone (M -1), Heavy Industrial Zone (M-2), various overlay zones, and Specific Plan areas. However, due to the recent and rapid expansion of industrial developments within the City and neighboring communities, and particularly the development and expansio n of warehouses, residents and businesses have experienced various adverse impacts related to these industrial developments, including incompatibility with adjacent uses, increased truck traffic, damage to local streets, loss of potential economic revenue, and deteriorating air quality and environmental health. In particular, the placement of these warehouses, distribution centers, and logistics facilities, including related uses (“Warehouses”) and truck storage facilities within the City are a current and immediate threat to public health, safety, and welfare.

1.1 Packet Pg. 9
Staff Report to the Mayor and City Council
Extension of Term for Urgency Ordinance
May 3, 2022

During the initial Moratorium and first extension periods, City Staff and the Warehouse Moratorium Ad Hoc Committee analyzed existing regulations and researched the adverse impacts of warehouses, d istribution centers and truck storage facilities. City Staff also began analyzing existing regulations and development standards enacted in surrounding jurisdictions to determine which standards would best address the traffic, safety, health, and environm ental concerns, while still allowing for growth of such uses and other industrial developments within the City. The 10 -day written report, filed on April 5, 2022, described the measures which the City has taken to address the conditions which led to the a doption of the Moratorium is attached hereto as Attachment 2.

Despite City Staff’s efforts, the conditions which necessitated adoption of the Moratorium continue to exist at the present time.

Government Code Section 65858 authorizes the City Council, af ter notice and a public hearing, and upon approval by a four -fifths (4/5) vote, to extend the Moratorium one last time for one additional year.

City Staff is requesting an additional one year, to further analyze, research and develop appropriate regulations to alleviate the conditions which led to the adoption of the Moratorium.

Extending the Moratorium will provide City Staff with necessary time to complete its analysis, research and development of appropriate regulations for allowing the establishment, modification, or expansion of warehouses, distribution centers and truck storage facilities to ensure the protection of the public health, safety and welfare.

The public hearing on this item has been duly noticed in accordance with State law.

The proposed Urgency Ordinance for City Council consideration, attached hereto, contains the necessary findings based on the conditions outlined above. Adoption of the proposed Urgency Ordinance would extend the Moratorium for a period of an additional one year beyond its original expiration date, such that the Moratorium would expire on May 3, 2023, or until the City Council adopts an ordinance addressing the issues and adverse impacts raised by warehouse, distribution centers and truck storage facilities. A fo ur-fifths (4/5) vote of the City Council is required to adopt the proposed Urgency Ordinance.

FISCAL IMPACTS

The adoption of the Moratorium will not result in any financial impact. However, there will be costs associated with conducting future studies to support the development of policies and development standards related to warehouses. Staff will request funding for these studies separately.

SECTION 1. Urgency Findings. In accordance with California Government Code, Section 65858 and in order to protect the public health, safety and welfare, the City Council of the City of Colton finds as follows:

A. The City of Colton (“City”) has the police power, pursuant to Article XI, section 7 of the California Constitution, to make and enforce ordinances to regulate the use of land within its jurisdictional boundaries, to the extent such regulations are not in conflict with the general laws of the State of California; and

B. Government Code Section 65858 expressly authorizes the City Council, in order to protect public health, safety, and welfare, to adopt an interim urgency ordinance prohibiting a use that is in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the legislative body, planning commission, or the planning department is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time, provided that the urgency measure shall require a four-fifths vote of the legislative body for adoption, and shall be of no further force and effect 45 days from its date of adoption, unless duly extended; and

C. Government Code Sections 36934 and 36937 expressly authorize the City Council to enact urgency ordinances, which take effect immediately upon introduction, for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, containing a declaration of the facts constituting the urgency, and which must be passed by a four-fifths vote of the City Council; and

D. On May 4, 2021, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. O -03-21, an urgency ordinance establishing a 45 -day moratorium on the establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouses, distribution centers, truck storage facilities and related uses (“Moratorium”), by a unanimous vote; and

E. On June 15, 2021, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. O -05-21 which extended the Moratorium for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days, pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, which authorizes the City Council, after notice pursuant to Government Code Section 65090 and a public hearing, to adopt an ordinance extending the Moratorium for 10 months and 15 days, upon approval by a four-fifths vote, and upon making the same findings required for initial adoption of the Moratorium; and,

F. The Moratorium will expire on May 3, 2022 , unless extended pursuance to Government Code Section 65858, which authorizes the City Council, after notice pursuant to Government Code Section 65090 and a public hearing to adopt an ordinance extending the Moratorium for a final one year period; and,

alleviate the condition which led to the adoption of the Moratorium; and

G. In accordance with Government Code Section 65858(d), on April 5, 2022 the City Council approved and issued the ten-day report, describing the measures being taken to alleviate the conditions which led to the adoption of the Moratorium; and

H. The City of Colton has determined that, due to the recent and rapid expansion of e - commerce in recent years, the City has seen an exponential increase in industrial developments within the City and neighboring communities, particularly warehouses, distribution centers, and logistics facilities (collectively, “Warehouses”), which include any use for the conduct, business, or managemen t of warehousing, storing, safekeeping, freight forwarding, handling, keeping inventory, and/or distribution activities for any product or component, including but not limited to goods, wares, consumer products, materials, or merchandise, partially or whol ly within an enclosed space, building, or other structure and truck storage facilities, which include truck terminals, truck and/or container storage yards, and truck and/or container parking and related uses (collectively “Truck Storage Facilities”); and

I. With this increase in Warehouses, residents and businesses within the City have faced increased truck traffic and the following related adverse impacts:

 Increased safety risk for smaller vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists;  Damage to City streets an d property/facilities from collisions (reported and unreported), such as street lights, traffic signal equipment, signs, trees, curbs, medians, etc.;  Traffic congestion and reduced levels of service on streets and at intersections;  Increased impacts from improperly over-loaded trucks; and

J. The City of Colton has determined that Warehouse and trucking storage facilities have a detrimental impact upon the City, which are not being addressed by the City’s current ordinances and zoning regulations; and

K. The City intends to update the Colton Municipal Code to further address the potential side effects of Warehouses to ensure that they are properly regulated within the City; and

L. The City also intends to address truck yards, and associated buildings, queu ing, stacking, loading, unloading and parking of trucks; and

M. City staff and the Warehouse Moratorium Ad Hoc Committee have considered public input, researched the issues related to warehouses and truck storage facilities but required more time after May 3, 2022 to complete the measures necessary to alleviate the conditions which lead to the adoption of the Moratorium; and
N. The City Council wishes to extend the Moratorium for a period of one year, or until the City Council adopts an ordinance addressing the issues raised, whichever occurs first; and O. At a duly noticed public hearing on May 3, 2022 , testimony evidence was heard and presented from all persons interested in affecting said proposal to extend the Moratorium, from all persons protesting the same and from members of the City staff, and the City Council has reviewed, analyzed, considered, and studied all oral and written testimony and evidence presented at such public hearing, including staff reports and presentations by City staff.

SECTION 2. Recitals Incorporated. The City Council finds the recitals contained in this Ordinance to be true and correct, relies upon them in passing this Ordinance, and incorporates them herein as Urgency Findings as though set forth in full herein.

SECTION 3. Immediate Threat. The City finds that there is a current and immediate threat to public health, safety, and welfare posed by current Warehousing and Truck Storage Facilities in the City, dues to insufficiency of regulations under the Colton Municipal Cod e. As stated above, the rapid development of expansion of Warehousing and Truck Storage Facilities within and surrounding the City has increased truck traffic, caused extensive damage to local streets, contributed to the loss of potential economic revenue, and is deteriorating the air quality, noise, and aesthetics of the City. An urgency ordinance extending the Moratorium is therefore necessary to protect the immediate public safety, health, and welfare pursuant to Government Code Sections 65858, 36934, and 36937.

This Moratorium is enacted pursuant to the authority conferred upon the City Council of the City of Colton by Government Code Section 65858, and therefore shall be in full force and effect immediately upon its adoption by a four-fifths (4/5) vote of the City Council. This Moratorium shall continue in effect for one (1) year from the date of its adoption and shall thereafter be of no further force and effect.

SECTION 4. 10-Day Report. In accordance with Government Code Section 65858(d), on April 5, 2022 the City Council issued a written report describing the measures being taken to alleviate the conditions that lead to the adoption of the Moratorium and this extension thereof, attached hereto as “Exhibit A”.

SECTION 5. Moratorium Extension. The City Council hereby extends the Moratorium on any establishment, expansion, or modifications of Warehouses and Truck Storage Facilities, in the City. During the Moratorium extension period, the City shall not issue any permits or entitlements, for such uses within the boundaries of the City of Colton. The prohibitions contained in this section shall not apply to permits issued for existing lawful establishments, expansions, or modifications of warehouses, distribution centers and truck storage facilities and related uses approvals on or before the effective date of Urgency Ordinance No. O-03-21. Notwithstanding the continuation of these lawful uses, and i n accordance with Building Industry Legal Defense Foundation v. Superior Court, which held that the “power to establish uses does not include the power to fix procedures for processing development applications. ” Building Industry Legal Defense Foundation v. Superior Court (1999) 72 Cal.App.4th, 1410.

SECTION 6. Duration of Ordinance. The Moratorium is hereby extended for an additional one year beyond its expiration date, such that the Moratorium will now expire on May 3, 2023, or until the City Council adopts an ordinance addressing the issues related to the establishment, expansion, or modifications of Warehouses and Truck Storage Facilities, whichever occurs first. Thereafter, this Moratorium extension shall be of no further force and effect.

SECTION 7. City Action. During the period of this Moratorium extension period, the Development Director or his designees shall: (1) review and consider options for separation requirements from sensitive uses, and (2) shall issue a written report describing the measures which the City has taken to address the conditions which lead to the adoption of this Ordinance with the City Council ten (10) days prior to the expiration of this Moratorium, and such report shall be made available to the public.

SECTION 8. Enforcement. The City of Colton may enforce any provision of this Ordinance by mandamus, injunction, or any other appropriate civil remedy in any court of competent jurisdiction.

SECTION 9. Environmental Review. Pursuant to Section 15378(b)(5) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), this Ordinance is an organizational or administrative activity of the City that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore not a project.

Additionally, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), this Ordinance is exempt from CEQA review because there is no possibility that the Moratorium may have a significant effect on the environment, insofar as it prohibits the construction of or alterations to, truck parking or logistics facilities within the City.

Furthermore, even if the Ordinance is considered a project, the proposed moratorium is categorically exempt

under CEQA Guidelines Section 15308, because it is clear th at the Moratorium will not create an environmental impact and the action will assure the maintenance, enhancement, or protection of the environment through the eventual adoption of regulations and development standards on truck parking or logistics facilities. Accordingly, no further environmental review is necessary.

Furthermore, as the Ordinance is an administrative procedure related to uses, facilities, and regulations identified in the Colton Municipal Code and General Plan, and given that the proposed Ordinance is not related to a specific project, the Ordinance (i) by virtue of the location of affected improvements, will not impact a sensitive environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern; (ii) will not have a cumulative impact on the environment through successive projects of the same type, in the same place, over time; (iii) does not have any unusual circumstances that will have a significant effect on the environment; (iv) does not impact a scenic highway; (v) is not located on a hazardous waste site; and (vi) will not adversely impact a historical resource. Accordingly, none of the exceptions to categorical exemptions set forth in the CEQA Guidelines, Section 15300.2, apply to this Ordinance.

SECTION 10. Severability. If any provision of this Ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the Ordinance which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this ordinance are severable. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance irrespective of the invalidity of any particular portion thereof. By enacting this Ordinance, the City ordains that nothing here in shall be deemed to conflict with or duplicate federal or state law, or otherwise or to license any activity that is prohibited thereunder except as mandated by such laws.

SECTION 11. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect immediately and shall be of no further force and effect one (1) year beyond its original expiration date, such that the Moratorium will now expire on May 3, 2023 , or until the City Council adopts an ordinance addressing the issues related to the establishment, expansion, or modifications of Warehouses and Truck Storage Facilities, whichever occurs first.

ITEM NO.

STAFF REPORT

DATE: APRIL 5, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: BILL SMITH, CITY MANAGER
PREPARED BY: MARK TOMICH, DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: 10-DAY REPORT REGARDING WAREHOUSE MORATORIUM

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:

Receive, file and make available to public “10 -Day Report” regarding City of Colton Moratorium on the Establishment, Expansion, or Modification of Warehouse, Distribution Centers, Truck Storage Facilities and Related Uses that are located, within the City of Colton.

BACKGROUND

On May 4, 2021 the City Council adopted an urgency ordinance that prohibits the establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouses, distribution centers, truck storage facilities and related uses anywhere within the City, and prohibits the City from accepting any new applications or issuing any permits or entitlements to those that submit applications following the posting of the agenda for the May 4, 2021 adoption of the urgency ordinance.

A “10-day report” with a draft work plan was approved on June 1, 2021, and on June 15, 2021, the Urgency Ordinance was extended to May 3, 2022 (Ordinance O -05-21). The Urgency Ordinance prohibits the approval of any uses, facilities, or improvements that may conflict with a contemplated zoning proposal that the City Council, Planning Commission or the Development Services Department (“Planning Department”) is considering or studying or intends to study within this timeframe. Staff has been using this timeframe to work with the City’s “Warehouse Moratorium Ad-Hoc Committee” to formulate recommendations to address the adverse impacts that led to adoption of the Urgency Ordinance.

The Ad-Hoc Committee members, as appointed by the City Council and Planning Commission, consist of the following members:

10-Day Report Regarding Warehouse Moratorium
April 5, 2022

 Mayor Pro Tem, Ernest Cisneros (District 1)
 Council Member, Isaac Suchil (District 6)
 Planning Commission Vice Chair, Gary Grossich (District 4)  Planning Commissioner, Angel Delgado (District 3)

The Ad-Hoc Committee held three meetings at which staff presented research data and recommendations and the Committee members provided comments and direction to staff:

August 23, 2021, September 29, 2021 and November 22, 2021. In addition, staff has conducted the following outreach meetings with community members and industry stakeholders:
 Industry Stakeholders Meeting: August 19, 2021
 Community Stakeholders Meeting #1: October 21, 2021
 Community Stakeholders Meeting #2: November 3, 2021

Summaries of the three meetings are attached to this report (Attachments 1).

On January 18, 2022, staff presented recommendations by the Ad -Hoc Committee to the City Council. After a presentation and some discussion, the City Council unanimously approved the Warehouse Morato rium Ad -Hoc Committees recommendations, which includes the zoning text amendments that were presented to the Planning Commission at its March 22, 2022 meeting.

This staff report is intended to update the Council on actions taken in response to the Council ’s adoption of a 45 day moratorium on May 4, 2021 and comply with the requirement of the California Government Code, Section 65858(d) requiring the City to issue a written report to the public describing the measures taken to alleviate the conditions that led to the adoption of the Moratorium.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS

Pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, the City Council may adopt, as an urgency measure, an interim ordinance prohibiting any uses, facilities, or improvements that may conflict with a contempl ated zoning proposal that the legislative body, planning commission, or the planning department is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time.

Since the adoption of the moratorium, the Development Services Department has been diligently working with the Ad -Hoc Committee. The Committee has recommended a series of specific Zoning Code and Building Code amendments, policy initiatives and focused studies for consideration by the City Council, at large. The Committee’s recommendations are provided below, and on Attachment 2 to this report, along with staff comments.

1. Zoning Text Amendments

10-Day Report Regarding Warehouse Moratorium
April 5, 2022

The recommended amendments are summarized as follows (see Attachment 2 for specific list of amendments).

 Add definitions for “Distribution/Fulfillment Center” and “General Warehouse.”  Reduce size of warehouses permitted in the Industrial Park (IP) zone.  Require Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for warehouse/distribution, and truck & trailer storage within industrial zones where they are currently permitted outright.  Limit hours of operation within 800 feet of a Residential zone.  Buildings shall be placed 1,000 feet from the property lines of a legal conforming sensitive receptor.
 Add new and revised Property Development Standards, including architectural design, stormwater and parking requirements, building placement, landscape and security standards for warehouse/distribution and truck & trailer storage facilities.  Add Operational Standards for warehousing and distribution facilities.  Require preparation of a Health Risk Assessment for facilities generating 150 or more truck trips per day.
 Add Air Quality standards to Zoning Code to minimize exposure of sensitive receptors to diesel emissions.

Comment: The land use table update and special provisions prov ide additional protections and prohibitions for larger logistics and distribution projects, along with new conditional use permit requirements for all industrial warehouse projects and truck and trailer storage/parking areas. Smaller general warehouse proj ects, 45% lot coverage with maximum size of 98,010 square feet and will also be required to meet the 800 and 1000 foot standards recommended for the larger warehouse logistics and distribution projects which will be warehouses greater than 107,811 square feet in area.

2. Building Code Amendments
 Adopt “Reach Codes” for nonresidential industrial buildings.

3. Review the City’s current Truck Route Plan (adopted in 2016), and modify as necessary to ensure the safety of Colton residents.

Comment: This study of truck routes and revisions, as needed, would be conducted by Public Works/Engineering Division.

4. Hire (or reassign) a Code Compliance Officer to Development Services to assist with enforcement of non-conforming businesses.

10-Day Report Regarding Warehouse Moratorium
April 5, 2022

Comment: Code Compliance Officers cu rrently provide enforcement services for residential, commercial and industrial properties. Focusing the duties of one Officer on non -conforming businesses is feasible, including zoning enforcement, business occupancy permits, business licenses, conditions of approval and CEQA mitigation monitoring. However, based on input from the Police Department, assigning one Officer solely to business enforcement activities would necessitate hiring of an additional Code Officer. Rather than divide reporting relationships and department functions, staff recommended that the all Code Compliance Officers remain with the Police Department, but continue to closely coordinate with Business License, Building & Safety, and Planning.

5. For all Development Agreement and/or Public Benefit Agreement negotiations, the City should contract with a consultant to conduct negotiations on behalf of the City and ensure maximum public benefits.

Although Staff has started to take the measures outlined above to address these issues, they have not yet finished their work in this regard. As such, Staff may be presenting to the City Council at its April 5, 2022 meeting a request to extend the moratorium for an additional period of one year, pursuant to Government Code section 65858(a) to May 3, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACTS

The adoption of the Moratorium will not result in any financial impact. However, there will be costs associated with conducting future studies to support the development of policies and development standards related to warehouses. Staff will request funding for these studies separately.

ALTERNATIVES

Provide alternative direction to staff.

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLTON,
CALIFORNIA, TO AMEND, REPEAL AND REPLACE TITLE 16

SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF COLTON

MUNICIPAL CODE INCLUDING URBAN LOT SPLITS AND TWO-
UNIT PROJECTS TO IMPLEMENT LAWS ENACTED BY SB 9 AND
DETERMINING THE ORDINANCE TO BE EXEMPT FROM CEQA.
(FILE INDEX NO. DAP-001-723), ORDINANCE NO. O-01-22.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:

Waive Full Reading. Read by Title Only and Introduce First Reading Ordinance No. O-01-22 entitled:

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLTON TO AMEND, REPEAL AND REPLACE TITLE 16 SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF

COLTON MUNICIPAL CODE INCLUDING URBAN LOT SPLITS AND TWO-UNIT PROJECTS TO IMPLEMENT LAWS ENACTED BY SB 9 AND DETERMINING THE ORDINANCE TO BE EXEMPT FROM CEQA. (File Index No. DAP-001-723)

BACKGROUND

The City of Colton’s Subdivision Ordinance, Title 16 of the City’s Municipal Code, was adopted in 1977, with minor amendments in 1985, 1988 and 2000 to address school facilities, and park and recreation facilities dedication and fees. This update is needed in order to achieve

1.2 Packet Pg. 20
Staff Report to the Mayor and City Council
Continued Public Hearing: Subdivision Ordinance Update and SB 9 May 3, 2022

consistency with legislation adopted over the past 45 years, including recently adopted legislation, including Senate Bill 9, addressing “Urban Lot Splits” within single -family zones that took effect on January 1, 2022.

On December 14, 2021, the Planning Commission approved by a 6 -0-1 vote Resolution No.

R-34-21, recommending City Council approval of Subdivision Ordinance Update by conducting the first reading. At the City Council’s public hearing on held on March 1, 2022, public comment was provided by Scott McKhann, owner of Modern Pacific Homes. Mr. McKhann did not provide comments during the Planning Commission hearing on the update.

Following public comment, the City Council continued the public hearing to April 19, 2022 (subsequently continued again to May 3, 2022), and directed staff to address Mr. McKhann’s comments, and make appropriate edits to the Ordinance, as necessary. Staff has requested that Mr. McKhann submit his comments in writing, which are attached hereto.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS

Public Work/Engineering and Planning staff have carefully reviewed each of Mr. McKhann’s comments and have determined that most comments consist of policy disagreements with the proposed Ordinance, not substantive errors. However, there are some incorrect cross -references and outdated terminology that have been identified in the comments and these have been corrected i n the attached Ordinance (in strikeout and bold text). Following is a summary of proposed edits:

 Sections 16.12.120, 16.16.180 and 16.36.110B: Cross -references to other Code sections have been corrected.
 Section 16.16.220: Clarified timing for commencement of work.  Sections 16.16.260A, 16.16.270A, 16.16.280B, 16.16.300A&B, 16.17.040, 16.44.010 2&3:

Revised outdated terminology and map sheet dimensions (e.g., “one inch iron pipe” stakes instead of “redwood” stakes, “mylar” instead of “tracing cloth”).  Section 16.20.030H: Replaced “city council” with “planning commission.”  Section 16.24.040: Clarified by including “General Plan Amendment” in Section title.  Section 16.24.100A: Replaced “is required” with “may be required” to install certain improvements.
 Section 16.24.140: Deleted “Refuse Facilities” Section as the City no longer provides direct refuse services.
 Section 16.38.040: Section 16.38.040D: Removed redundant language.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION

This ordinance is exempt from the California E nvironmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance to Title 14 of the California Code and Regulations, Section 15061(b)(3), as proposed changes to the subdivision ordinance do not have the potential to cause a significant effect on the

1.2 Packet Pg. 21
Staff Report to the Mayor and City Council
Continued Public Hearing: Subdivision Ordinance Update and SB 9 May 3, 2022

environment and under Cal ifornia Government Code Sections 65852.21, subd. (j), and 66411.7, subd. (n), the adoption of an ordinance by a city or county implementing the provisions of government code sections 66411.7 and 65852.21 and regulating urban lot splits and two -unit projects is statutorily exempt from the requirements of the CEQA. Therefore, the proposed ordinance is statutorily exempt from CEQA in that the proposed ordinance implements these new laws enacted by SB 9, subject to the following findings:
(1) Not result in a po tentially significant cumulative impact in that the urban lot splits ordinance are only permitted in zones that are primarily allow for single family residential units and are also not permitted on lots with approved historical landmark status, or on lots within a Colton Historic Districts, and proposed urban lots must also have 12.5 foot frontage on public right -of-way (street or alley). The City currently has approximately 2,561 lots located in zones primarily designed for single -family homes. It is est imated that 500 -700 lots may qualify for urban lot splits projects. From the geographic information systems (GIS) map analysis, the majority of the larger lots that may be split are located in the Reche Canyon Specific Plan area. Many of the lots in other parts of the City are more difficult to split because of the size of the properties and placement of current single-family home on a property, making it difficult to comply with the urban lot splits development standards.
(2) Not result in a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances the addition of potential new lot splits will be relatively minor as the number of lots impacted will is substantially reduced based on review of qualified single family residential lots in Colton; (3) Not result in damage to scenic resources, including but not limited to, trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings, or similar resources, within a highway officially designated as a state scenic highway in that each urban lot splits proposal will be reviewed to comply with the urban lot splits requirements and location to address issues related to trees, scenic highways, historic districts/landmarks and other standards for such proposals; (4) Not be located on a hazardous waste site included on any list compiled pursuant to § 65962.5 of the Government Code as there are no current single family zones located within a local hazardous waste site; or
(5) Not result in a substantial adverse change in th e significance of a historical resource in that urban lot split projects are prohibited on landmark designated lots and lots within a historic district. Colton currently has five historic districts and approximately 22 approved single -family home historic landmarks. Except for a couple of minor amendments, the current Subdivision Ordinance is approximately 44 years old and is in need of update to include language for Lot Line Adjustments, updated Vesting Tentative Map requirements and in addressing compli ance with current State Subdivision Map Act law.

projects is statutorily exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). Therefore, the proposed ordinance is statutorily exempt from CEQA in that the proposed ordinance implements these new laws enacted by SB 9. Specifically, the Planning Commission hereby finds that the Attached Exhibit “A” Ordinance will:
(1) Not result in a potentially significant cumulative impact in that the urban lot splits ordinance are only permitted in zones that are primarily allow for single family residential units and are also not permitted on lots with approved historical landmark status, or on lots within a Colton Historic Districts, and proposed urban lots must also have 12.5 foot frontage on public right -of-way (street or alley). The City currently has approximately 2,561 lots located in zones primarily designed for single-family homes. It is estimated that approximately 500 to 700 lots may qualify for urban lot splits projects. The majority of the lots are located in the Reche Canyon Specific Plan. Most of the properties in Reche Canyon Specific Plan are in large lot subdivisions or lots currently very difficult to subdivide because of current house placement and insufficient area to comply with Urban Lot Split development standards.
(2) Not result in a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances the addition of potential new lot splits will be relatively minor as the number of lots impacted will is substantia lly reduced based on review of qualified single family residential lots in Colton; (3) Not result in damage to scenic resources, including but not limited to, trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings, or similar resources, within a highway officially designated as a state scenic highway in that each urban lot splits proposal will be reviewed to comply with the urban lot splits requirements and location to address issues related to trees, scenic highways, historic districts/landmarks and other standards for such proposals;
(4) Not be located on a hazardous waste site included on any list compiled pursuant to § 65962.5 of the Government Code as there are no current single family zones located within a local hazardous waste site; or

(5) Not result in a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource in that urban lot split projects are prohibited on landmark designated lots and lots within a historic district. Colton currently has five historic districts and approximately 22 appr oved historic landmarks. Except for a couple of sections within the Subdivision Ordinance, the ordinance is approximately 44 years old and is in need of update to include language for Lot Line Adjustments and updated Vested Tentative Map requirements.

Each of the foregoing exemptions is asserted in the alternative and each is independently sufficient to fully exempt the whole of the project.

SECTION 3. In addition to being statutorily exempt from CEQA, the proposed ordinance is also categorically exempt from CEQA this ordinance is also exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance to Title 14 of the California Code and Regulations, Section 15061(b)(3), as proposed changes to the Subdivision Ordinance do not have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment.

Exhibit - A
C. An application for a lot line adjustment may be approved by the committee. The committee must limit its review and approval to a determination of whether or not the parcels resulting from the lot line adjustment will conform to the City’s General Plan, and applicable specific plan and any zoning and building ordinances.

D. No lot line adjustment may be approved if it would result in a lot that will be used for residential purposes with a net area or dimensions that do not meet the standards required in the Zoning Ordinance unless a request for a variance has been approved in accordance with the provisions of the Zoning Code.

E. Conditions or exactions must not be imposed on the lot line adjustment except to conform to the City’s General Plan, applicable specific plan, and zoning and building ordinances, to require the prepayment of real property taxes prior to the approval of the lot line adjustment, or to facilitate the relocation of existing utilities, infrastructure, or easements.

F. The lot line adjustment must be reflected in a deed, which must be recorded by the County Recorder. No record of survey is required for a lot line adjustment unless required by Section 8762 of the Business and Professions Code.

16.12.100 Map approval—Tentative or Final—Denial.

Approval of a tentative or final map must be denied if any of the following findings are made:

A. The proposed map, or the design or improvement of the proposed subdi vision, is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans;
B. The site is not physically suitable for the type of development, or for the density of development proposed;
C. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmental damage, or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, or they do not provide reasonable public access to public resources as per Article 3.5 of Chapter 4 of the Subdivision Map Act;
D. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements is likely to cause serious public health problems;
E. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict with easements acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. The city council may approve a map if it finds that alternate easements, for access or for use, will be provided, and that these will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This subsection applies only to easements of record or to easements established by judgement of a court of competent jurisdiction. The city does not have authority to determine that the public at large has acquired easements for access through or use of property wi thin a proposed subdivision;
F. The discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into the city sewer system would result in violation, or add to a violation, of existing requirements prescribed by a California Regional Water Quality Control Board.

16.12.110 Map approval—Final—Prerequisites.

No final map will be approved for any land project, as described in Section 11000.5 of the Business and Professions Code, unless the planning commission first finds that the proposed land project and provisions for its design and improvement are consistent with an adopted specific plan covering the area.

16.16.270 Final Map—Form and Content.

The final map must be prepared by or under the direction of a registered civil engineer or licensed land s urveyor, must be based upon a survey, and must conform to all of the following provisions:

A. It must be legibly drawn, printed or reproduced by a process guaranteeing a permanent record, in black, on tracing cloth mylar or polyester base film. Certificates, affidavits and acknowledgments may be legibly stamped or printed upon the map with opaque ink. If ink is used on polyester base film, the ink surface must be coated with a suitable substance to assure permanent legibility.

B. The size of each sheet must be eighteen by twenty-six inches. A marginal line must be drawn completely around each sheet, leaving an entirely blank margin of one inch. The scale of the map must be large enough to show all details clearly and enough sheets must be used to accomplish this end. The particular number of the sheet and the total number of sheets comprising the map must be stated on each of the sheets, and its relation to each adjoining sheet must be clearly shown.

C. The tract designation, all drawings, certificates, acknowledgments, endorsements, offers, and acceptances of dedication, and notarial seals must be within the marginal lines. The first sheet of the map must contain all certificates, acknowledgments, endorsements, offers, and acceptances of dedication and notarial certificates, as required by the Subdivision Map Act and this Title, and no signed certificates must appear on any other sheet. If a subdivider is required to make a dedication of land in fee for public purposes (other than for open space, schools, or parks), the City must record a certificate with the County Recorder identifying the name and address of the subdivider and the legal description of the land being dedicated. The certificate must state that the land must be reconveyed to the subdivider if the same public purpose for which it was dedicated no longer exists, or the land or a portion thereof is not needed for public utilities. The subdivider may request that the City make such a determination and reconvey the land to the subdivider as provided above. The City may assess a fee for making this determination, but said fee may not exceed the cost of making the determination. The City must give the subdivider whose name appears on the certificate 60 days’ notice prior to vacating, leasing, selling, or otherwise disposing of the dedicated property, unless the dedicated property will be used for the same public purpose for which it was dedicated.

D. The title sheet of the final map must contain the tract number and designation, and such other descriptive matter as may be necessary. Below the tract designation must appear a subtitle consisting of a general description of all the property being subdivided, by reference to recorded deeds or to maps that have been previously recorded or by reference to the plat of a United States Survey.

Obstructions must be relocated and/or removed as provided below. This includes, but is not limited to, the quitclaim or subordination of rights to the City by all interest and easement holders having the right to place facilities or otherwise obstruct the free use of the road right-of-way or alternative arrangement acceptable to the city engineer.

1. All obstructions must be removed from the streets, roadways or rights-of-way dedicated in the final map of a subdivision or that are deeded to the City in connection therewith that in the determination of the city engineer interfere with the use thereof or constitute a dangerous or hazardous condition to the traveling public.

2. All obstructions must be removed that are located within existing County, State, or City streets or roadways lying immediately adjacent to streets, roadways or rights -of-way that are dedicated in the final subdivision map or that are deeded by the subdivider to the City in connection therewith and which obstructions, in the determination of the city engineer, interfere with the use of said existing County, State or City streets or roadways, or constitute a dangerous or hazardous condition to the traveling public.

3. Said obstructions must be relocated without expense to the City to such locations as are specified by the city engineer or in the approved plans and profiles for the subdivision.

4. It is the responsibility of the subdivider to contact the utility companies, including cable television companies, or other owners of said obstructions to advise them of proposed improvements, and make direct arrangements for the relocation of and compensation for the cost of relocating any conflicting obstructions. Evidence of such completed arrangements must be presented by the subdivider to the city engineer prior to the final approval of the subdivision plan by the City.

B. Final acceptance of the map is contingent upon the subdivider providing, within and/or outside the boundaries of the subdivision, drainage disposal facilities, methods, or easements as required to receive or dispose of storm water. Said facilities, methods, or easements are subject to the approval of the city engineer. Unless diversion of water is required to conform to a comprehensive drainage plan, off-site water is allowed to flow through the subdivision and must be received and discharged at the locations that existed prior to development and as nearly as possible in the manner existing prior to development.

16.36.040 Standards for determining dedication.

A. General. If the Park dedication is required under Section 16.58.030, the Park area required Shall be determined in accordance with the standards provided in this section.

B. Standard of Park Area to Population. It is found and determined that the public interest, convenience, health, safety and welfare of the Residents of the City require that three acres of Property for every one thousand Persons residing within the City be devoted to Local Park and Recreational purposes, and that such Park area is necessary to provide for the needs of the current and future Persons residing and working in the City. Said ratio of .003 is hereafter referred to as the Park area standard.

C. Dwelling Unit Occupancy Factor. The Dwelling Unit Occupancy Factor for each type of Dwelling Unit Shall be established by Resolution and based on the most recent available U.S. Census Data. These figures May be revised from time to time by Resolution.

D. Computation of Area of Park to be Dedicated. The dedication of Park land required for any Subdivision Shall be determined by multiplying the number of Dwelling Units in the Subdivision for each housing type by the Occupancy factor for each housing type by .003 (i.e., the ratio of the Park area standard of three acres to one thousand population). This is represented as follows:
(# Dwelling Units) (Occupancy factor)
(3/1,000) = Area of Park to be dedicated
E. Qualification of Land Being Dedicated. In addition to meeting the requirements set forth in this section, any land offered for Park dedication Shall meet the criteria specified in Section 16.58.060(D).

F. Recent Park Development Surveys indicate a Development cost of one hundred ten thousand eight hundred sixteen dollars per acre for Improvements to Park and Recreation Facilities.

by the Subdivider's obligations hereunder. If the Fair Market Value of the Park and Recreational Facilities provided is less than that required hereunder, the difference Shall be paid by the Subdivider as an in -lieu Fee.

B. In-Lieu Fees. Where no Park or Recreational Facility located in whole or in Part within the proposed Subdivision is Designated in the General Plan of the City or other adopted Resolution policy or standard of the City, the Subdivider Shall, in lieu of dedicating land, pay a Fee computed in accordance with Section

16.58.050 to be Used for Park and Recreational purposes to serve the Residents of the area being subdivided and other members of the public.

C. Combination of Land and Fees. The City May accept a combination of land and Fees, with the respective amounts to be determined in the sole discretion of the City, so long as the aggregate Fair Market Value plus in-lieu Fees does not exceed the limits established in this chapter.

D. Determination of Land or Fee. Whether the City accepts land dedication or elects to require payment of a Fee in lieu thereof, or a combination of both, Shall, in the City's sole discretion, be determined by consideration of the Following:

1. The provisions of the City's General Plan, any specific plan adopted thereto, and any other adopted Resolution, policy or regulation of the City;

2. Topography, geology, Access and location of land in the Subdivision available for dedication;

3. Size and shape of the Subdivision and land available for dedication;

4. The feasibility of dedication;

5. Access and location of other Park sites to Subdivision; and

6. Need of other accessible Park sites for Development, Improvement and rehabilitation.

The determination of the City as to whether land Shall be dedicated, or whether a Fee Shall be charged, or a combination thereof, Shall be final and conclusive.

E. In-Lieu Fees for Subdivisions of Fifty Parcels or Less. If the Subdivision contains fifty Parcels or less, only the payment of in-lieu Fees May be required, except that Condominium, stock cooperative or community Apartment Projects May be required to dedicate land if they have more than fifty Dwelling Units. (Ord. 0-10-88 § 1 (part), 1988)

16.36.070 Subdivider credits.

A. Public Parks. The Subdivider Shall receive a credit against the Park dedication requirement for the Fair Market Value of any land dedicated and for the value of any Park and Recreation Improvements provided by Subdivider in conjunction with any public Park. The value of such Improvements Shall be determined by City based upon Section 16.58.020(D).

B. Private Park. In conjunction with any Planned Development, real estate Development, stock cooperative, community Apartment or Condominium, as defined by State Law, if the Subdivider provides Private Open Space as defined in Section 16.58.020, then the Subdivider May receive a credit equal to the Fair Market Value of the Private Open Space against the Park dedication requirement of this chapter, but such credit Shall not exceed one-third of such Park dedication requirement. The actual amount of such credit Shall be determined by the City based upon the comparability of the Private Open Space to public Park area and the adequacy of such Private Open Space to serve the needs of the Subdivision for active recreational Uses.

16.36.080 Disposition of land or Fees.

The amount and location of land to be dedicated or the Fees to be paid Shall bear a reasonable relationship to the Use of the Park and Recreational Facilities by the future inhabitants o f the Subdivision.

In addition, such Fees May be Used to improve or rehabilitate existing Parks. Fees paid by a Subdivider pursuant to this chapter May be spent to develop, improve and rehabilitate community and neighborhood Parks even though such Parks May be Used by Nonresidents of the Subdivision, so long as the benefit of the Park and Recreational Facilities to Residents of the Subdivision is reasonable in relation to the location of the Park and amount of the Fees. (Ord. 0-10-88 § 1 (part), 1988)

16.36.090 Time of dedication or payment of Fees.

All Park Fees Shall be paid directly to the City cashier upon the date of final inspect ion, or the date the certificate of Occupancy is issued, whichever occurs last, provided that the City May require payment on a pro rata basis for each Dwelling or upon a percentage of Dwellings when they have received final inspection or certificate of Occupancy, whichever occurs last. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City May require earlier payment of such Fees if necessary to reimburse the City for previous expenditures or if the Fees are collected for Park and Recreation Improvements where the City has established an account, appropriated funds, and adopted a construction schedule or plan for the Park and Recreation Improvements prior to final inspection or certificate of Occupancy. In the event of dedication, dedication Shall be made at the time of r ecordation of the final map. (Ord. 0-10-88 § 1 (part), 1988)

16.36.100 Schedule for performance.

A. City's Schedule. The Community Development Director Shall prepare and maintain a schedule specifying how, when and where the land or Fees, or both, which were dedicated to the City to develop Park or Recreational Facilities will be Used.

B. Subdivider's Schedule. In the event that the Subdivider improves or develops Parks for public or private ownership, he Shall prepare a schedule specifying when, how and where he will develop the Park or Recreational Facilities to serve the Residents of the Subdivision.

16.44.010 Setting Monuments.

A. At the time of making the survey for the final map or parcel map, th e Engineer or surveyor must set sufficient durable monuments to conform with the standards described in Section 8771 of the Business and Professions Code so that another Engineer or surveyor may readily retrace the survey.

B. Such Engineer or surveyor must set monuments as follows:

1. Set City standard monuments and encasements at all intersections of street centerlines, beginning and ending of all curves on streets within the subdivision and at the intersection of the centerline of the streets and the subdivision boundary. On all curved streets, a sufficient number of monuments must be set so that connecting chords must be wholly within the street roadway between curbing. The Engineer or surveyor must measure the vertical elevation based upon data approved by the city engineer, data for each City standard monument set and must provide a record of this data to the city engineer.

2. Set 1.5two-inch iron pipe 2418 inches long, filled with concrete and properly tagged, or with a two-inch by two- inch by twelve-inch redwood stake driven into the center and properly tagged or equal as approved by the city engineer, at all angle points and beginning and ending of all curves on the exterior boundary of the subdivision. All boundary monuments must be in place prior to recordation of the map. The city engineer may, by a field survey, satisfy himself that all monuments actually exist and that their positions are correctly drawn. Depth of boundary monum ents must be not less than six inches or more than 30 inches.

3. Set twoone-inch by two-inch by twelve-inch redwood stakes with tag, iron rod with cap or iron pipe with cap and properly tagged at all angle points and beginning and ending of all curves on the boundary of each lot, which angle point is not covered i n subsection 1 or 2 above. For front lot corners, reference points, consisting of “penny” tags epoxied in place together with chisel marks on the top of curbs, may be substituted for the required redwood stake, iron rod or iron pipe. For rear lot corners of double- frontage lots, reference points, consisting of concrete nails and tags mounted on the rear masonry wall, on the lot side, at a visible elevation, may be substituted for the required redwood stake, iron rod or iron pipe.

4. When any of the above-described boundary points fall in a concrete sidewalk, curb, wall, coping, etc., such points must be marked with a concrete nail and tag.

5. All monuments in subsection 1 and 2 above must be so set as to ensure an unobstructed sight between adjacent monuments, whenever feasible, and in no case can the distance between monuments exceed 2,700 feet, unless prior approval is obtained from the city engineer.

6. All monuments must be permanently marked with the license number of the Engineer or surveyor setting it, preceded by the letters “R.C.E.” or “L.S.” respectively, as the case may be.

Chapter 16.46 DEDICATIONS

16.46.010 Requirements.

As a condition of approval of a tentative map, the subdivider must dedicate or make an irrevocable offer of dedication of all land within the subdivision that is needed for public streets, alleys, including access rights and abutter’s rights, drainage, drainage basins, public utility easements and other public easements.

16.46.020 Waiver of direct street access.

The advisory agency may impose a requirement that any dedication or offer of dedication of a street or approval of a map abutting a previously dedicated street must include a waiver of direct access rights to such street from any property shown on a final map or parcel map as abutting thereon. If such dedication is accepted, or if no dedication is otherwise required, such waiver will become effective in accordance with its provisions. Such provisions must specify that a portion of the street as to which access is waived may, at the request of the property owner, be revised or relocated to another portion or portions of the same street frontage or of any adjoining street as to which direct access has been waived by recording a certificate therefor signed by the property owner and the city engineer.

16.46.030 On Final Maps.

A. Dedications of or offers to dedicate interests in real property for specified public purposes must be made by a certificate on the final map, signed and acknowledged by those parties having any record title interest in the real property being subdivided, subject to the provisions of Section 66436 of the Subdivision Map Act.

B. In the event any street shown on such map is not offered for dedication the certificate must contain a statement to this effect. If such statement appears on the map and if the map is approved by the city council, the use of any such street or streets by the public will be permissive only.

C. An offer of dedication of real property for street or public utility easement purposes will be deemed not to include any public utility facilities located on or under such real property, unless and only to the extent and intent to dedicate such facilities is expressly stated in the certificate.

16.46.040 For Subdivisions not Requiring a Final Map.

A. If dedications or offers of dedication are required by the advisory agency for subdivisions requiring a parcel map, they may be made either by a certificate on the parcel map, or by separate instrument to be recorded concurrently with, or prior to, the parcel map being filed for record.

B. Such dedication or offers of dedication must be signed by the same parties and in the same manner as set forth in Section 66439 of the Subdivision Map Act for dedications by a final tract map.

C. An offer of dedication must be in such terms as to be binding on the owner, his heirs or successors in interest and must continue until abandoned as specified in Section 66477.2 of the Subdivision Map Act.

STAFF REPORT

DATE: MAY 3, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: BILL SMITH, CITY MANAGER
PREPARED BY: MARK TOMICH, DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: APPROVE CONTRACT AWARD WITH KIMLEY-HORN FOR

ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES AND REIMBURSEMENT

AGREEMENT WITH BUTTERFLY EQUITY PARTNERS, BEN GOTT
PROJECT.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:

Authorize the City Manager to execute the attached Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Kimley-Horn and Associates for $139,500 to provide environmental services on behalf of Butterfly Equity Partners, Ben Gott Project (DAP-001-734), as per the terms of the PSA, and enter into Reimbursement Agreement with the applicant to fund said environmental services.

BACKGROUND

The City received an application for a Specific Plan Amendment to allow a manufacturing use of over 50,000 square feet with a Conditional Use Permit and Architectural and Site Plan Review (DAP-001-734), to be located at 2245 West Valley Boulev ard on an approximately 9.01 acres site within the Business Park Land Use Designation of the HUB City Centre Specific Plan (HUB CCSP). The project analysis will include review of a 200,000 square foot building to house a future food manufacturer. Based on preliminary review of the application, an Initial Study is required pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Because the City is the lead agency having jurisdiction by law over the project, the environmental document becomes the Ci ty’s document to comply with CEQA. An Initial Study is necessary to determine the degree of CEQA need ed for the project , which may include an addendum to the HUB CCSP or other CEQA document.
