PLANNING AND HOUSING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
DATE: 07/25/2022
TO: Honorable Chair and Commissioners
FROM: Planning & Development Department
APPLICATION REQUEST:

SPA2022-0004: Amendment to various specific plans to amend the parking requirement for multiple-family residential to match the off-street parking requirement in Chapter 17.76 of the Corona Municipal Code. (Applicant: City of Corona)
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the Planning and Housing Commission recommend APPROVAL of SPA2022-0004 to the City Council, based on the findings contained in the staff report.

BACKGROUND
The City Council at its meeting on March 8, 2021, made the decision for staff to study the City’s Parking Ordinance. The purpose of the study was to determine if the city’s current parking requirements are consistent or in alignment with other surrounding cities and general requirements used in the industry. Specifically, the City Council expressed concern on the parking required for market-rate multiple-family residential projects. Several multiple-family residential apartments and attached condominium projects in the city have experienced a lack of sufficient parking spaces to accommodate the demand from residents.

In September 2021, staff completed its parking study, which compared Corona’s parking requirements for various land uses to the cities of Ontario, Eastvale, Orange, Moreno Valley, Riverside and Lake Elsinore. A comparison was also done using the average parking requirement for specific land uses from the Institute of Transportation Engineer (ITE) Parking Generation Manual.

The Committee of the Whole at its meeting on September 8, 2021, was presented the parking study.

The Committee recommended changes to the multiple-family residential parking requirement that would increase the parking requirement for studio/one-bedroom units and three or more bedroom units. The following table shows the changes recommended by the Committee.

On September 20, 2021, the Planning and Housing Commission held a study session to discuss the results of the parking study performed by staff. The Commission concurred with the recommendation made by the Committee of the Whole on the multiple-family residential parking.

The Commission also recommended changes to the parking requirements for other land uses. The recommended changes discussed with the Committee and the Commission is being presented by Zone Text Amendment 2022-0002 (ZTA2022-0002), which is an amendment to Chapter 17.76 (OffStreet Parking) of the Corona Municipal Code (CMC). Chapter 17.76 regulates the city’s parking requirements for various land uses.

Throughout this process, staff reminded the Committee of the Whole and the Commission that multiple-family residential intended for affordable housing, which is defined as housing set aside for low-income and moderate-income households, is subject to parking requirements regulated by Section 65915 (p)(1) of the California Government Code. Staff will continue to refer to the California government code for parking when it comes to the development of affordable housing for low and moderate-income households. For reference purposes, the current parking requirement in the government code for affordable housing is:
a) Zero to one bedroom: 1 onsite parking space.
b) Two to three bedrooms: 1.5 onsite parking spaces.
c) Four or more bedrooms: 2.5 onsite parking spaces.

The city has numerous specific plans that regulate land uses within certain areas of the city. These specific plans also include development standards separate from Title 17 (Zoning Code) of the Corona Municipal Code. Some of the specific plans also identify parking requirements for multiplefamily residential that differ from the Off-Street Parking Ordinance in CMC Chapter 17.76. SPA2022- 0004 proposes to amend the specific plans that have multiple-family residential parking requirements and have them match the parking requirement in CMC Chapter 17.76.

PROPOSED SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT
SPA2022-0004 proposes to amend the following specific plans to require the multiple-family residential land uses to refer to the provisions of Chapter 17.76 of the Corona Municipal Code for required parking. The specific plans subject to this amendment are identified as having parking City of Corona Page 2 of 7 Printed on 7/21/2022

requirements that are different from CMC Chapter 17.76 for multiple-family residential.

Ø Northeast Corona Specific Plan (SP81-2)
Ø Township in Corona Specific Plan (SP82-1)
Ø Crown Properties Specific Plan (SP83-01)
Ø Sierra Del Oro Specific Plan (SP85-2)
Ø Corona Ranch Specific Plan (SP85-3)
Ø Mountain Gate Specific Plan (SP89-1)
Ø Chase Ranch Specific Plan (SP89-2)
Ø Corona Vista Specific Plan (SP90-5)
Ø El Cerrito Specific Plan (SP91-2)
Ø North Main Street Specific Plan (SP99-1)
Ø Dos Lagos Specific Plan (SP99-3)
Exhibit A demonstrates the sections within each specific plan that is being amended. To prevent non -conforming land uses for developments previously constructed and utilizing the parking requirements in effect at the time of construction, language is being added that new developments constructed after the adoption of this amendment shall refer to the provisions of Chapter 17.76 of the CMC.

Language is also being added to the North Main Street Specific Plan in the Urban Density Residential (UDR) and Mixed-Use (MU) Districts to address residential parking requirements for a project that would be located within a one-half mile of a major transit stop or high-quality transit corridor. The North Main Street Specific Plan has properties within walking distance to the Metrolink Rail Station.

The residential parking standards currently adopted for the UDR and MU Districts are designed to consider the access to the rail station, which is less than would be required in CMC Chapter 17.76.

Rather than eliminate the current parking requirements in these two districts, the amendment would increase the parking requirement by 0.5 spaces for two or more bedrooms and allow the parking to remain if the development is located within one-half mile of a major transit stop or high-quality transit corridor as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 21155 of the Public Resources Code. The definition in subdivision (b) of Section 21155 of the Public Resources Code is:
“Major transit stop” means a site containing an existing rail transit station, a ferry terminal served by either a bus or rail transit service, or the intersection of two or more major bus routes with a frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less during the morning and afternoon peak commute periods.
“High-quality transit corridor” means a corridor with fixed route bus service with service intervals no longer than 15 minutes during peak commute hours. A project shall be considered to be within one-half mile of a major transit stop or high-quality transit corridor if all parcels within the project have no more than 25 percent of their area farther than one -half mile from the stop or corridor and if not more than 10 percent of the residential units or 100 units, whichever is less, in the project are farther than one-half mile from the stop or corridor.

Staff is proposing to keep the reduced parking standard for projects in the UDR and MU Districts within a one-half mile of a major transit stop or high-quality transit corridor because the practice aligns with the State’s housing policies on having higher density housing near public transportation to City of Corona Page 3 of 7 Printed on 7/21/2022

File #: 22-0628
aligns with the State’s housing policies on having higher density housing near public transportation to reduce vehicles miles traveled and to reduce barriers to housing. Properties that fall outside of the location of this definition will be required to meet the provisions of CMC Chapter 17.76.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Arantine Hills Specific Plan
The Arantine Hills Specific Plan covers a master planned community known as Bedford Communities.

The community is mostly residential, with parks, trails and a commercial center. Except for the commercial center, the property within the Bedford Community is controlled by a master developer.

The master developer was responsible for the construction of the master infrastructure improvements to support the development, such as sewer, water, flood control channel improvements and the widening of the Cajalco Road Bridge. Residential builders are also able to purchase residential parcels from the master developer to build residential communities within the master plan.

The master developer of the Bedford Communities has a Development Agreement with the City, which gives the developer the vested right to develop the property pursuant to the “existing land use regulations” that were established at the time of adoption of the Agreement. The definition of “existing land use regulations” in the Development Agreement is:
"Existing Land Use Regulations" means all ordinances, laws, resolutions, codes, rules, regulations, policies, requirements, guidelines or other actions of City, including but not limited to the provisions set forth in the City's General Plan, Municipal Code, Arantine Hills Specific Plan and Zoning Code and including all Development Impact Fees, which affect, govern or apply to the Development of the project and use of the Property in a manner consistent with this Agreement, including, without limitation, the permitted use of land, the density or intensity of use, subdivision requirements, the maximum height and size of proposed buildings, the provisions for reservation or dedication of land for public purposes, and the design, improvement and construction standards and specifications applicable to the Development of the Property, subject to the terms of this Agreement, whether adopted by the City Council or the voters in an initiative, which are in effect on the Entry Date, pursuant to California Government Code Section 65866.

The developer entered into this Agreement in 2016 and the term of the agreement is valid for 20 years. The Agreement is only applicable to the boundaries of the Arantine Hills Specific Plan as defined by the Agreement. Therefore, the development standards that were adopted in the specific plan, including the parking requirements for residential development are allowed to remain in effect for the term of the agreement. As such, SPA2022-0004 did not include the Arantine Hills Specific Plan because the Bedford Communities is expected to be entirely constructed by the end of the 20- year term, which is Year 2036.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

Per Section 15061(b)(3) of the State Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a Notice of Exemption has been prepared for the project because Section 15061(b)(3) states that a project is exempted from CEQA if the activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

City of Corona Page 4 of 7 Printed on 7/21/2022

applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This amendment is solely a text revision and there is no possibility that this activity will have a significant effect on the environment. The Notice of Exemption is attached as Exhibit B.

FISCAL IMPACT
SPA2022-0004 is an application initiated by the City. The amendment will not result in a negative fiscal impact.

PUBLIC NOTICE AND COMMENTS
A 10-day public notice was advertised in the Sentinel Weekly News. As of the preparation of this report, the City has not received any comments on the proposed amendment.

STAFF ANALYSIS:

The amendment establishes multiple-family residential parking standards that provide consistency with the parking standards being adopted in the Corona Municipal Code with the exception of properties that may be located within a high-quality public transit corridor. The parking standards are intended to support the demand created by residents that live in multiple-family residential developments and to minimize the spillover of parking on to city streets.

The revised parking requirements are intended to encourage well planned developments that are capable of supporting the capacity and use of properties.

FINDINGS OF APPROVAL FOR SPA2022-0004

1. Per Section 15061(b)(3) of the State Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a Notice of Exemption has been prepared for the project because Section 15061(b) (3) states that a project is exempted from CEQA if the activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This amendment is solely a text revision and there is no possibility that this activity will have a significant effect on the environment.

2. The criteria necessary in recommending approval of a specific plan amendment as set forth in Section 17.53.090 of the Corona Municipal Code do exist in reference to SPA2022-0004 for the following reasons:
a) The plan systematically implements and is consistent with the General Plan because the amendment implements Policy CE 7.1 by requiring new developments to provide adequate off-street parking in compliance with Corona Municipal Code Chapter 17.76; and Policy CE 7.2 which is to allow for the provision of adequate parking that is required to meet the needs of residential uses, commerce, and other land uses and is sensitive to the context and broader transportation goals of the City. b) The Plan provides for the development of a comprehensively planned project that is superior to development otherwise allowed under the conventional zoning classifications because the amendment establishes parking requirements for multiple-family residential that are intended to provide well planned City of Corona Page 5 of 7 Printed on 7/21/2022
