REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:

ZONE TEXT AMENDMENT 2024-0004 TO TITLE 17 OF THE CORONA MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDING CHAPTER 17.85 TO ADD CERTAIN REGULATIONS FOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS CONSISTENT WITH STATE LAW (APPLICANT: CITY OF CORONA) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This staff report asks the City Council to approve Zone Text Amendment 2024-0004 (ZTA2024-0004) to amend Title 17 of the Corona Municipal Code (CMC) amending Chapter

17.85 to add certain regulations for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). Recently adopted state legislation by Senate Bill 1211 (SB 1211) and Assembly Bill 2533 (AB 2533) established additional regulations for ADUs on properties that include multiple family residential, and added that uncovered parking spaces converted or removed to accommodate the construction of an ADU is not required to be replaced. The amendment to CMC Chapter

17.85 is to keep the City’s ADU ordinance consistent with state law.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council:
a. Approve Zone Text Amendment 2024-0004, as recommended by the Planning and Housing Commission.
b. Introduce, by title only, and waive full reading of consideration of Ordinance No. 3410, first reading of an ordinance amending Chapter 17.85 of Title 17 (Zoning) of the

Page 15 of 137 ends

Corona Municipal Code to modify the regulations for accessory dwelling units pursuant to Senate Bill 1211 and Assembly Bill 2533.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

Chapter 17.85 of the Corona Municipal Code governs the City’s regulations for ADUs.

California Government Code Section 66310 - 66342 requires local jurisdictions to permit ADUs on single family and multiple family residential properties according to the regulations of state law. Local ordinances governing ADUs that are inconsistent and more restrictive than the requirements of state law are not valid, and the local jurisdiction is required to permit ADUs according to the state law until the jurisdiction adopts an ordinance that is consistent with state law.

CMC Chapter 17.85 was last amended in 2020 to include regulations that were adopted by state legislation regarding ADUs. Recently, SB 1211 and AB 2533 were approved by the California Governor on September 19, and September 28, 2024, respectively, establishing additional regulations for ADUs.

SB 1211
This bill amends the state’s ADU law to include the following. • Prohibits a local agency from requiring the replacement of off-street parking spaces if an uncovered parking space is demolished in conjunction with the construction of, or is converted to, an ADU.
• Adds a definition of livable space for provisions governing ADUs to mean a space in a dwelling intended for human habitation, including living, sleeping, eating, cooking, or sanitation.
• Requires a local agency to ministerially approve up to eight detached ADUs located on a property with an existing multifamily dwelling, provided that the number of ADUs does not exceed the number of existing units on the property, and up to two detached ADUs on a property with a proposed multifamily dwelling.

AB 2533
This bill amends the state’s ADU law to prohibit a local agency from denying a permit for an unpermitted ADU or junior ADU that was constructed before January 1, 2020, for those violations, unless the local agency makes a finding that correcting the violation is necessary to comply with the conditions that would otherwise deem a building substandard.

SB 1211 and AB 2533 went into effect on January 1, 2025.

ANALYSIS:

The following identifies the changes to CMC Chapter 17.85.

Page 16 of 137 ends

• Section 17.85.020, Definitions. The definition of livable space is being added to this section.
• Section 17.85.030, General Requirements. The number of ADUs that are permitted on property with multifamily residential dwellings is being updated to reflect that permitted by SB 1211. Other miscellaneous changes involve cleaning up the language of the existing ordinance.
• Section 17.85.040, Development Standards. The parking language is being updated to include an uncovered parking space that is converted to an ADU or demolished in conjunction with the construction of an ADU is not required to be replaced. • Section 17.85.080, Non-Permitted Accessory Dwelling Units or Junior Accessory Dwelling Units. This is a new section added to Chapter 17.85 to address the requirement of AB 2533 regarding the issuance of a building permit by the local jurisdiction for a previously constructed but nonpermitted ADU or junior ADU subject to the requirements of Government Code Section 66332.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

ZTA2024-0004 is a City-initiated amendment; therefore, no application fees were paid for the processing of this application.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

The City Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in the preliminary exemption assessment and the administrative records for this Zone Text Amendment, including all written and oral evidence. Based upon the facts and information contained in the administrative record, including all written and oral evidence presented to the City Council, the City Council finds this action exempt pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.17, which states that the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to the adoption of an ordinance by a City to implement Article 2 (commencing with Section 66314) of Chapter 13 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code.

SECTION 1. CEQA Findings.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:

EXTENSION OF TIME AND ADDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 32386, LOCATED AT THE END OF SOUTH MAIN STREET IN THE AREA SOUTH OF FLETCHER DRIVE (APPLICANT: RCFC INVESTMENTS, LLC, A

CALIFORNIA LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This staff report asks the City Council to approve a two-year extension of time for Tentative Tract Map 32386 (TTM 32386). Pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act, TTM 32386 is eligible for a discretionary extension of time by the City Council not exceeding a total of six years. This request is the third and final discretionary extension of time and would extend TTM32386 for two years to January 14, 2027.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council approve a two-year extension of time for Tentative Tract Map 32386, expiring on January 14, 2027, based on existing and the added conditions of approval.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

TTM 32386 is 75 acres located at the end of South Main Street and Ibbetson Street. The zoning of the property is Single Family Detached 14.4 (SFD 14.4) of the Mountain Gate Specific Plan (SP-89-01). TTM 32386 subdivides the 75-acre site into 52 single-family residential lots ranging in size from 14,400 square feet to 39,770 square feet. TTM 32386

Page 28 of 137 ends

was originally approved by the City Council on January 2, 2008. However, the project was the subject of litigation under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and the City Council at its meeting on July 20, 2011, approved a litigation of stay on the term of TTM 32386 according to Government Code Section 66452.6(c). The stay included the period of time the project was involved in the CEQA lawsuit, which was 922 days.

Additionally, TTM 32386 was automatically extended due to the passage of state legislation.

The following is a summary of the extensions of time that have been granted since 2019 by the City Council and additionally by state legislation.  August 21, 2019. City Council granted the first discretionary, two-year extension of time, which extended TTM 32386 to July 14, 2021.
 Assembly Bill 1561. State legislation automatically extended TTM 32386 an additional 18 months, until January 14, 2023.
 February 15, 2023. City Council granted the second discretionary, two-year extension of time, which extended TTM 32386 to January 14, 2025.

ANALYSIS:

TTM 32386 is currently in plan review for final recordation. Additionally, the applicant is working to complete their grading and drainage design which has been an on-going process. The additional time will allow the applicant to complete their plans and studies and have the map recorded at the County without having to restart the process by applying for a new map.

The applicant submitted the extension of time request to the City before the expiration date of TTM 32386. Pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act, the application of the extension of time automatically grants an extension of 60 days or until the extension is approved, conditionally approved, or denied by the City’s legislative body, which is the City Council.

The request is to grant the last, two-year discretionary extension of time, which would extend TTM 32386 to January 14, 2027.

If TTM 32386 is not recorded by the expiration date, the map will expire, and the applicant will need to process a new tentative tract map because all extensions of time have been exhausted for the project.

The applicant requested that the City remove Condition of Approval 53 from the project, which states:

Prior to map recordation or issuance of a grading permit, whichever comes first, the developer may be required to obtain a Section 1601/1603 permit from the California Department of Fish and Game and a Section 404 permit from the United States Army Corps of Engineers or written correspondence from these agencies indicating that his project is exempt from these requirements.

Page 29 of 137 ends

Staff is not recommending the removal of this condition because it is worded in a manner that allows staff to dismiss this condition of approval if it has been determined by the regulatory permitting agency that the permits are not required.

In conjunction with the extension of time request, staff added Conditions of Approval 106, 107, and 108, which require the developer to dedicate and secure all required improvements for the Main Street and Malaga Trails. The following are the added conditions of approval.

Condition 106. Prior to map recordation, the applicant shall construct or guarantee the construction of the public trail and trail amenities for the Main Street Trail as approved by the Community Services Director, including the following:

1. A trailhead that connects to Main Street and includes a kiosk, backless bench, bicycle repair station, trash can, dog bag dispenser, and 10 parking spaces with at least one dedicated ADA parking stall, unless otherwise approved by the Community Services Director. All amenities shall be consistent with the Trails Master Plan.

2. The proposed public trail shall be composed of decomposed granite.

3. The proposed trail shall extend over the adjacent knoll located on Lot “J” and include a viewpoint rest area with amenities including two backless benches.

The trail on the slope(s) shall include steps utilizing timber or other materials approved by the Community Services Director.

Condition 107. Prior to map recordation, the applicant shall dedicate a public access easement that extends from the proposed public trailhead to the Main Street Trail along the southern boundary of the project, including the resting area on the knoll within Lot “J”.

Condition 108. Prior to approval of the grading plans the developer shall ensure the project preserves the Malaga Trail as defined as Trails 69 and 71 of the Trails Master Plan in their natural state.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The developer has paid the applicable map extension request fee of $2,811 for this action.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

A Mitigated Negative Declaration for TTM 32386 was approved on January 2, 2008 because the initial study identified that the project’s potentially significant effects to the environment are capable of being mitigated to less than significant pursuant to Section 15070 of the State Guidelines for Implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Section 6.02 of the City’s Local CEQA Guidelines. The extension of time does not change the scope of the project from its initial approval. Therefore, this request does not require further environmental analysis under CEQA.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR THE COUNTY SERVICE AREA 152 NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM PROGRAM EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This staff report asks the City Council to authorize a new 5-year Administrative Services Agreement (Agreement) for the County Service Area 152 (CSA 152) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Program between the City of Corona and the County of Riverside. The NPDES Program is a Permit that allows the City to discharge storm water into the waters of the United States. The agreement enables the City to work with the County to process the Benefit Assessment Unit Levy for parcels within the City as required to help fund the NPDES Program.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That City Council authorizes the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the Administrative Services Agreement for the County Service Area 152 NPDES Program between the City and the County.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

Page 34 of 137 ends

Amendments to the Federal Clean Water Act (“CWA”), enacted by Congress in 1987, established environmental programs, including the NPDES Permit program, to protect the Nation's waters. The CWA also directs the Environmental Protection Agency to develop, implement, and enforce regulations consistent with this law. For the State of California, these federal responsibilities were given to the State's nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards to regulate at the local levels.

The CWA prohibits any entity from discharging rain and other water runoff into the Nation's creeks, rivers, and other waters unless they are issued an NPDES permit. The NPDES permit contains regulations, monitoring, and reporting requirements to protect water quality and public health. Local agencies and municipalities who own and operate municipal separate storm sewer systems (“MS4”) for conveying stormwater runoff are considered dischargers to the Nation's waters. They are, therefore, required to obtain an NPDES Permit.

CSA 152 was formed to fund a federally-mandated program to reduce and control pollution carried in stormwater runoff. The CSA comprises all unincorporated lands within Riverside County, as well as cities within the County that have requested to be included within the boundaries of this service area. In 1992, the County established CSA 152 as a funding mechanism to help pay for anticipated compliance costs for its NPDES Permit requirements. On December 1, 1992, the County annexed Corona into CSA 152, and on November 1, 1994, the County and Corona entered into an Administrative Services Agreement, allowing the City to utilize CSA 152 assessments from properties within its boundaries to help fund the NPDES Program. Since 1994, Corona and the County have executed multiple iterations of the Agreement. The existing Agreement was executed on July 26, 2016; the language is the same for this 2025 Agreement.

ANALYSIS:

While this new Administrative Services Agreement will replace the existing agreement, the language remains the same. Additionally, the agreement may be renewed at the end of each 5-year term. To help fund the City’s NPDES Program, the new 5-year Agreement identifies responsibilities and processes for the City and County to manage and finance CSA 152 through collaborative efforts such as:
 The City provides the County with annual property tax information for parcels within its jurisdiction; prepares documentation for City Council to annually approve property tax amount (currently $10 per parcel) and the City’s CSA budget each fiscal year (approximately $822,000 revenue for fiscal year 2026); informs the County of any changes to Tax Rate Area for individual parcels; researches parcels rejected from the list of Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) submitted to the County; informs the County of any corrections to rejected parcels to communicate to the Auditor Controller; and provides the County requests for reimbursement of actual spendings incurred for its CSA 152 budget.

The County forwards APNs received from the City to the Auditor-Controller, informs the City of any rejected parcels; forwards the City’s corrections of rejected

Page 35 of 137 ends

parcels to the Auditor-Controller; provides CSA property tax fiscal year financial summary; collects property tax for CSA 152 on behalf of the City; and reimburses the City for actual expenditures incurred through the City CSA 152 budget.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

There is no financial impact associated with the agreement. The 6 percent fee charged by the County for administering the CSA 152 program will remain the same as the prior agreement.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061 (b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the general rule 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 action is for the City’s continued partnership with Riverside County through an Administrative Services Agreement for the CSA 152 NPDES Program, and there is no possibility this will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

That the Corona Utility Authority review, ratify, and to the extent necessary, direct the City Council to take the above actions.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

The Utilities Department (UD) is responsible for the operation and upkeep of a wide range of facilities that support the City of Corona's water, wastewater, and reclaimed water systems. These include 4 water treatment plants, 24 well sites, 18 booster stations, 19 water storage tanks, 46 pressure-reducing stations, 3 wastewater treatment plants, 14 sewer lift stations, and 3 reclaimed water booster stations. These facilities are vital to ensuring the efficient and continuous delivery of water and wastewater services to the City’s residents and businesses.

Motor Control Centers (MCCs) are essential components within these facilities. They serve as the nerve centers for controlling and managing the operation of key equipment such as pumps, motors, and blowers. MCCs regulate the electrical flow to these devices, enabling the proper functioning of critical processes that maintain the City's water and wastewater systems. As the central control point for equipment, MCCs ensure efficient, reliable, and safe operations.

As part of the ongoing efforts to maintain system reliability and efficiency, UD has identified the need to replace and upgrade aging MCCs that have surpassed their useful life at several key locations. These upgrades are essential for minimizing downtime, improving the operational performance of critical infrastructure, and maintaining compliance with City standards.

Page 49 of 137 ends

This Professional Services Agreement with Albert A. Webb (Webb) Associates, Inc. will provide the necessary engineering design, project management, and technical support services to complete the MCC replacements and upgrades, ensuring the continued reliability of the City's infrastructure.

ANALYSIS:

Request For Proposals (RFP) 24-082AT for the design and engineering services for Multiple MCC Replacement and Upgrade Project was advertised on August 27, 2024, pursuant to Corona Municipal Code Section 3.08.110 Non-public projects formal bidding procedure, and posted on the City’s bidding portal, PlanetBids. 515 vendors were notified, and 54 consultants downloaded the bid package. On September 5, 2024, seven consultants attended a mandatory pre-proposal meeting at the project site. One proposal was received through PlanetBids by the bid due date of October 17, 2024. The following is a summary of the proposal’s evaluation results:

Vendor Location Cost
Albert A. Webb Associates Riverside, CA $454,984
Webb’s proposal was evaluated based on five criteria outlined in the Request for Proposals. The criteria were Completeness of Response, Qualification of Firm, Qualification of Personnel, understanding of Work Plan/ Project Approach, and Value.

Following the analysis of the proposal evaluation, it was determined that Webb’s team exhibits the essential skills, experience, and staffing required for the successful execution of the project's scope of work. In their statement of qualification, Webb staff showed a clear understanding of the scope of work for the project and showed that they have successfully completed such projects.

The proposed services involve detailed design, bid phase assistance, engineering support during construction, and closeout services for multiple facilities. The scope of work and Webb cost for each project includes:

1. Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) 1A – Primary MCC replacement and relocation, blower replacement, and Turblex controls upgrade.

2. Stagecoach Lift Station Facility – MCC and generator replacement and relocation.

3. Border Potable Water Booster Pump – New MCC installation.

The City may require the Consultant to provide proof of ability to pay losses and related investigation, claims administration and defense expenses within the deductible or self-insured retention. The deductible or self-insured retention may be satisfied by either the named insured or the City.

3.2.10.8 Acceptability of Insurers.

3.2.10.9 Verification of Coverage. Consultant shall furnish City with original certificates of insurance, as well as amendatory endorsements or copies of the applicable policy language effecting coverage required by this Agreement.

3.2.12 Payment Bond. The California Department of Industrial Relations (“DIR”) has communicated to the City that there is a possibility that a payment bond may be required for certain services provided in connection with a public works project. Since such a requirement is currently contrary to the industry standard for the services provided by Consultant under this Agreement and since there is no direct legal authority for this position, the City is not requiring Consultant to provide a payment bond at this time. However, the City hereby reserves the right to require the Consultant to obtain and provide a payment bond for some or all of the services provided by the Consultant under this Agreement.

If the City determines that a payment bond is required for the services pursuant to Civil Code Section 9550 or any other applicable law, rule or regulation, Consultant shall execute and provide to City a payment bond in an amount required by the City and in a form provided or approved by the City. In the event a payment bond is required, the City agrees to compensate Consultant for all documented direct costs incurred by Consultant for such payment bond.

If the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and if the Total Compensation is $1,000 or more, Consultant and its subconsultants shall fully comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws for their employees and any others to whom such laws are applicable. Consultant and its subconsultants shall also be responsible for any and all violations and fines imposed on them pursuant to the Prevailing Wage Laws. Pursuant to SB 854, which Docusign Envelope ID: 0FC72440-0702-4E2E-B92F-417070D75F14 Docusign Envelope ID: D459076E-E9BE-4CB8-B2C2-F2DC203209E0

3.3.6 Apprenticeable Crafts.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:

APPROVE THE FUNDING AGREEMENT WITH THE RIVERSIDE COUNTY FLOOD

CONTROL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT AND CREATE A NEW CAPITAL

IMPROVEMENT PROJECT FOR THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE

CORONA STORM DRAIN CATCH BASIN RETROFIT PROGRAM
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This staff report asks for the City Council to execute the Funding Agreement with the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (District) for the installation of approximately 1,200 trash capture devices inside existing catch basins. This project will help the City comply with the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board's Trash Provisions to address the impacts of trash on surface waters. The City will be responsible for the operation and maintenance of the devices.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council:
a. Approve the Funding Agreement with the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District for the construction, operation, and maintenance of Corona Storm Drain Catch Basin Retrofit.

Page 77 of 137 ends

b. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the Funding Agreement with the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District to memorialize the mutual understandings by and between the District and City of Corona with respect to construction, ownership, operation, and maintenance of Corona Storm Drain Catch Basin Retrofit and the payment of construction contribution.
c. Authorize an estimated revenue increase in the amount of $1,000,000 in the Public Works Grants/Agreement Fund 243 for the Citywide Storm Drain Catch Basin Filters Capital Improvement Project No. ST-2023-06.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

To comply with recent Trash Provisions enacted by the State Waterboard, the City has selected to install, operate, and maintain full capture systems for about 1,200 storm drains that capture runoff from Priority Land Uses in its jurisdiction. To help fund this mandate, the City applied for funding from the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District during their annual call for projects. Subsequently, as part of the first phase of its goal to achieve compliance, the City identified 220 locations for installation of these devices and solicited bids from qualified contractors. Since then, the City has been awarded up to $1,000,000 in funding (or up to 50%) of the cost associated with installation for all 1,200 of these devices by the District. After some discussion and negotiation, the District has agreed to incorporate the first phase of installing these devices into their funding agreement with the City. The first phase for the installation of 220 devices was previously awarded by Council at its December 18, 2024, meeting. The remaining devices will be installed in phases over the next several years. The Funding Agreement with the District expires in FY 2028.

The agreement for the District to fund up to 50% (or up to $1,000,000) of the construction of multiple phases of the project has been finalized and is being presented to the Council for acceptance. Completing the project will help the City meet the Strategic Plan goals for Sound Infrastructure by making necessary improvements to sustain high-quality service delivery by investing in public infrastructure while also meeting the State’s unfunded mandate.

ANALYSIS:

Approval and execution of the cooperative agreement with the District will allow the City to fund 50% of the installation of approximately 1,200 trash capture devices inside existing catch basins throughout the City. Furthermore, the project and staff’s efforts to have the District fund 50% of the project aligns with the City’s following strategic goals:
 Financial Stability: Ensure the City has adequate and sustainable funding to deliver high-quality services to residents. Staff negotiated and worked with the District, which agreed to fund 50% of the project costs.
 Sound Infrastructure: Sustain high-quality service delivery by investing in public infrastructure, including parks, buildings, equipment, roads, and technology. The storm drain project will enhance the roadway system and remove stormwater from

Page 78 of 137 ends

the roadway and minimize excessive ponding of water in the streets, thereby reducing the risk and delay to vehicular traffic flow and pedestrian accessibility.

Safe Community: protect our quality of life by ensuring the community is safe and clean. Installing these devices will help address the impacts of trash on surface waters.

As discussed previously, Phase I of the Project was approved by the City Council on December 18, 2024. Each subsequent phase will be individually bid, awarded, and brought forward to the City Council for approval. The budget for future phases for the City’s share will be recommended through the annual budget process beginning FY 2026.

Phase II will be included in the Proposed FY 2026 Budget within the NPDES Fund 245.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Approval of the recommended actions will result in an estimated revenue increase in the amount of $1,000,000 from the Public Works Grants/Agreement Fund 243 to the Citywide Storm Drain Catch Basin Filters Capital Improvement Project No. ST-2023-06.

The Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District are reimbursing the City effectively for 50% of all costs, including the City’s administrative expenses.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the commonsense 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. The requested actions are to approve a funding agreement and appropriate those funds for the Project, and there is no possibility that these actions will have a significant effect on the environment. When the project involves only minor street improvements, a “Notice of Exemption” from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) will be filed with the County of Riverside.

That the Corona Utility Authority review, ratify, and to the extent necessary, direct the City Council to take the above actions.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

Well 14, located at 1200 West 10th Street in Corona, was constructed in 1936. During a video inspection in December 2013, the casing was severely corroded with enlarged perforations. By April 2021, persistent sanding issues, high turbidity, and silt density resulted in the City’s decision to cease groundwater production. The permanent pump was removed, and a thorough video inspection and survey was completed in July 2022.

Phase 1 rehabilitation consisted of filling in deteriorated sections of the well with grout and rehabilitating the existing well at higher elevations by inserting a new 12” stainless steel well screen and casing into the existing casing. This rehabilitation phase was completed in June 2024 under a separate construction contract.

The second construction phase will equate the well with a new vertical turbine pump, motor, and variable frequency drive. A new fabricated steel discharge head will be installed in addition to new ductile iron discharge piping and the replacement of the existing check valve, deep well pump control valve, and isolation valves.

ANALYSIS:

This Project was advertised for bids on December 18, 2024, pursuant to Corona Municipal Code Section 3.08.090, Public projects-formal bidding procedure requirements. Thirteen (13) contractors were notified from the City’s pre-qualification list. On February 3, 2025, two (2) bids were received from pre-qualified contractors through the PlanetBids bidding service.

The following is a summary of the bid results and the Engineer’s Estimate:

Contractor Location Bid Schedule Amount

Page 92 of 137 ends

Engineer’s Estimate $850,000
1 R C Foster Corporation Corona, CA $785,000

Staff reviewed all bids received and recommends awarding the contract based on the Bid Schedule to R C Foster Corporation, the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, for a total contract amount of $785,000. City staff has reviewed and verified all licenses and references for R C Foster Corporation, and all other documentation is in order.

Construction is tentatively scheduled to commence in May 2025, with completion anticipated in July 2025.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Funding for the recommended actions is available in the Repipe Well 14 Capital Improvement Project No. UT-2013-03, within the Water Utility Fund 570.

…………………………………………………………………………………………….
$785,000
Construction Support (Inspection, materials testing, staff time) (15%) ………………. $117,750
Contingency (10%)
……………………………………………………………………………………… $78,500
Total Construction Cost
………………………………………………………………………… $981,250
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

This action is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15301 of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt if operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the CEQA determination. A Notice of Exemption has been filed with the County of Riverside.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:

ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 5.02.035 OF CHAPTER 5.02 OF THE CORONA

MUNICIPAL CODE TO EXCLUDE HOME OCCUPATIONS FROM THE REQUIREMENT

FOR A FIRE INSPECTION PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF A BUSINESS LICENSE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This staff report recommends the City Council approve an ordinance amending the Corona Municipal Code to exclude home occupations from the requirement for a fire inspection prior to the issuance of a business license. When the City Council adopted the ordinance requiring a fire inspection before issuing a business license, it did not intend for the requirement to apply to home occupations.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

On January 15, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 3408 adding Section

5.02.035 to Chapter 5.02 of the Corona Municipal Code to require an inspection by the Corona Fire Department prior to issuance or transfer of a business license to a business

Page 99 of 137 ends

that will operate from a fixed location within the City. The intent of Section 5.02.035 is to ensure that businesses adhere to safety standards and allows the Fire Department to confirm that potential hazards, such as inadequate fire protection systems, unsafe storage of hazardous materials, or insufficient emergency exits, are addressed prior to the business commencing operations. These measures are essential to safeguarding public health, safety, and welfare for business operators, patrons, and the community.

Prior to adoption of Ordinance No. 3408, members of the public and the City Council expressed concern whether Section 5.02.035 would require a fire inspection for home occupations. The current wording of Section 5.02.035 requires a fire inspection for any business that will be carried on at a fixed place of business within the City, which could potentially be interpreted to apply to home occupations.

ANALYSIS:

Ordinance No. 3412 would amend Section 5.02.035 of the Corona Municipal Code to expressly exclude home occupations from the requirement for a fire inspection prior to issuance or transfer of a business license. Specifically, Section 5.02.035 would be amended to include the following provision:

For purposes of this section, a “fixed place of business within the city” shall not include a structure if the only business being conducted in the structure is a home occupation which is permitted pursuant to Chapter

17.80 of this code.

Adopting Ordinance No. 3412 will clarify the City’s intent in requiring the fire inspection prior to the issuance of a business license.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The adoption of this Ordinance will not have a financial impact.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the commonsense 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 action simply amends the Corona Municipal Code to exclude home occupations from regulations regarding fire inspections for business licenses and will not have an impact on the environment.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 2024-0010 TO ALLOW THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A NEW LIQUOR STORE WITHIN AN EXISTING COMMERCIAL SUITE LOCATED AT 511

NORTH MAIN STREET IN THE COMMERCIAL RETAIL DISTRICT OF THE NORTH MAIN STREET SPECIFIC PLAN (APPLICANT: WASEF HOUCH)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This staff report asks the City Council to affirm the decision by the Planning and Housing Commission in granting Conditional Use Permit 2024-0010 to establish a liquor store in an existing commercial building. CUP2024-0010 will accommodate the relocation of an existing liquor store located at 450 South Main, which is being displaced due to the redevelopment of the property. The liquor store will occupy a vacant suite within a multitenant commercial building located at 511 North Main Street in the Commercial Retail (CR) district of the North Main Street Specific Plan.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council:
a. Take no action, thereby affirming the Planning and Housing Commission’s action granting CUP2024-0010, based on the findings contained in the staff report and conditions of approval.

Page 108 of 137 ends

b. Set the item for review at a subsequent meeting.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

Jahshua Liquor currently operates a liquor store at 450 South Main, Suite “E.” The store has been operating at this location for eight years, however, the site is currently proposed for redevelopment under several pending development applications for the construction of a Northgate Market. As such, the applicant is proposing to relocate to the proposed location at 511 N. Main Street.

According to the Commercial Retail (CR) district of the North Main Street Specific Plan, liquor stores for the sale of alcohol for off-site consumption are permitted subject to the approval of a conditional use permit (CUP). The Planning and Housing Commission at its meeting on February 10, 2025, approved CUP2024-0010.

ANALYSIS:

The applicant is proposing to occupy an existing 2,317 square-foot commercial tenant space located at 511 N. Main Street and operate a liquor store. The interior space will be remodeled to include freestanding display shelves, a cooler, walk-in refrigerators with stocking shelves, and a sales counter with wall-mounted display shelves. The store would have a sales floor area of 1,800 square feet, of which 79 percent will be dedicated to the sale of beer, wine, and liquor and 21 percent to the sale of other items such as “grab and go” food and snacks. The remaining area (located at the rear of the suite) would consist of storage space and a restroom. No changes to the exterior of the suite are proposed.

Exterior building signage for the business would be reviewed and determined by staff via a sign permit.

The proposed liquor store intends to operate under a Type 21 “Off-Sale General” license from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) which will allow the business to sell beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-site consumption only. The store would be open from 7 AM to 11 PM, Monday through Thursday, and Sunday, and from 7 AM to midnight on Friday and Saturday.

The City of Corona’s Police Department has reviewed the application materials and has no objection to the proposed use at the proposed location. The applicant will also be installing interior and exterior cameras, outdoor security lighting, and an alarm system.

Access and Parking
The retail center has vehicular access via three driveways, with two located along Rincon Street and one along Main Street. No changes are proposed to these accessways under the proposed scope of work. The commercial center is already parked for retail service uses; therefore, the liquor store does not require additional parking spaces.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The applicant paid the application processing fee of $9,352.14 to cover the cost of the Conditional Use Permit.

Page 109 of 137 ends

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

Staff has analyzed the project in accordance with requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines and determined it to be categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15301(a) (Class 1 – Existing Facilities) of the Guidelines in that the project consists of the interior alteration of an existing commercial space, with no changes proposed to the size of the suite or exterior of the broader building. Moreover, none of the six exceptions to exemptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines are found to be applicable.

PLANNING AND HOUSING COMMISSION ACTION:

At its meeting on February 10, 2025, the Planning and Housing Commission considered the subject matter and took the following action:

Motion was made, seconded (Alexander/Woody) and carried with Commissioner Vernon absent, that the Planning and Housing Commission find the project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(a) (Class 1 – Existing Facilities), adopt Resolution No. 2657 granting CUP2024- 0010, based on the findings contained in the staff report and conditions of approval. The minutes of the Planning and Housing Commission meeting are included as Exhibit 4.

BACKGROUND
The proposed project would establish a new liquor store (Jahshua Liquor) within an existing, presently vacant commercial suite (No. 103) located within a multi-tenant commercial center at 511 N. Main Street. The suite is located near the corner of Main Street and Rincon Street (Exhibit 3). The property is zoned CR (Commercial Retail) per the North Main Street Specific Plan. The Specific Plan prescribes the allowable uses and development standards for the CR District. Pursuant to Section 4.3 of the Specific Plan, “Liquor stores, sale for offsite use only” are a permitted use in the CR District, subject to the approval of a conditional use permit (CUP) by the Planning Commission.

Jahshua Liquor currently operates as an existing liquor store at 450 South Main, Suite E. The liquor store has been operating at this location for eight years, however, the site is currently proposed for redevelopment under several pending development applications for the construction of a Northgate Market, and so to continue their business, the applicant is proposing to relocate to the proposed location at 511 N. Main Street.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Conditional Use Permit CUP2024-0010 is a request to establish a new liquor store within an existing, 2,317 square-foot tenant space. The proposed scope of work consists of an interior remodel to prepare the suite for its proposed use as a liquor store and would include the installation of five freestanding display shelves, a cooler, walk-in refrigerators with stocking shelves, and a sales counter with wall mounted display shelves. The new liquor store would have a sales floor area of 1,800 square feet, of which 79 percent will be dedicated to the sale of beer, wine, and liquor and 21 percent to the sale of other items such as “grab and go” food and snacks. The remaining area (located at the rear of the suite) would consist of storage area and a restroom. The applicant’s floor plan is attached as Exhibit 5. No changes to the exterior of the suite are proposed. Exterior building signage for the business would be reviewed and determined by staff via a separate submittal for a sign permit.

The liquor store would have a staff of four to five employees and be open from 7 AM to 11 PM, Monday through Thursday, and from 7 AM to midnight on Friday and Saturday.

The City of Corona’s Police Department has reviewed the application materials and stated no concerns or issues with the project in its proposed location. In an effort to secure the store and deter the potential for crime, the applicant stated in their operational plan (Exhibit 7) that the store would feature both interior and exterior cameras, outdoor security lighting, and an alarm system.

Page 114 of 137 ends

Access/circulation
The center currently takes vehicular access via three driveways, with two located along Rincon Street and one along Main Street. No changes are proposed to these accessways under the proposed scope of work.

Parking
Submitted plans show the lot to currently have 135 parking spaces. The City’s Parking Ordinance, Chapter 17.76 of the Corona Municipal Code (CMC), allows a retail center to provide parking based on the parking requirements that were in effect in the CMC at the time of the center’s construction. Suite 103 was previously occupied by a retail use. The parking requirement for retail at the time the center was constructed, which was in 1990, was one parking space for every 375 square feet of retail floor area (1:375). Since the proposed liquor store use is also a retail use, the parking requirement would be the same, resulting in no change to the number of required parking spaces for the commercial center. Therefore, the center would continue to meet the parking requirements in the CMC.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

Staff has analyzed the project in accordance with requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines and determined it to be categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15301(a) (Class 1 – Existing Facilities) of the Guidelines in that the project consists of the interior alteration of an existing suite, with no changes proposed to the size of the suite or exterior of the broader building. Moreover, none of the six exceptions to exemptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines are found to be applicable. A Notice of Exemption has been prepared and is attached herein as Exhibit 8.

FISCAL IMPACT
The applicant has paid all application processing fees for the project.

PUBLIC NOTICE AND COMMENTS
A 10-day public notice was mailed to all property owners within a 500-foot radius of the project site, advertised in the Sentinel Weekly News, and posted at the project site. As of the preparation of this report, no written comments have been received from the public in response to the public notice.

STAFF ANALYSIS
Conditional Use Permit CUP2024-0010 is a request to allow for the establishment of a new liquor store within an existing commercial suite. The project will consist of interior improvements only, including the installation of display shelves, counters, walk-in fridges, and coolers, and would not result in any changes to the size of the suite or to the exterior of the building. The use would be contained entirely inside the building and would not impact

Page 115 of 137 ends

the center’s required parking or access. The use has been reviewed internally by all applicable city departments and no concerns were raised. While there are residential uses located across North Main Street to the west, North Main Street is a commercial corridor that includes various types of commercial uses that are intended to serve the public.

Therefore, the project site is appropriate for the proposed use, and the use is compatible with other commercial land uses in the area.

Furthermore, the proposal is consistent with the intent of the Commercial Retail District of the North Main Street Specific Plan, which is to attract a general merchandise tenant mix that service both residents and businesses nearby. The applicant’s proposed merchandise would contribute to the general mix of uses that are being offered to the community in the area. Therefore, the Planning and Development Department recommends that the Planning and Housing Commission approve CUP2024-0010 based on the findings below and the recommended conditions of approval attached as Exhibit 4.

FINDINGS OF APPROVAL FOR CUP2024-0010

1. A preliminary environmental assessment has been conducted by the City of Corona and determined that the project does not require further environmental assessment as it qualifies for a Class 1 Categorical Exemption per Section 15301(a) of the State Guidelines for Implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Section 3.28 of the City’s Local CEQA Guidelines. According to the State Guidelines, Class 1 categorical exemptions consist of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. The project consists of only interior alterations to an existing tenant suite, with no changes to the size of the suite or exterior of the existing structure, and the use will be contained entirely within the building. Therefore, there is no possibility that the project will have a significant effect on the environment.

2. All the conditions necessary for granting a Conditional Use Permit as set forth in Section

17.92.110 of the Corona Municipal Code do exist in reference to CUP2024-0010 for the following reasons:
a) The proposed liquor store will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, convenience and general welfare because the project site is a fully developed commercial center that has adequate onsite parking and vehicular access from the surrounding roadways. Furthermore, the proposed scope of work has been reviewed by the Planning and Development Department, including therein, the Planning, Development Services and Building Divisions, as well as the Police Department, and found to be in compliance with the applicable development standards in the Corona Municipal Code and North Main Street Specific Plan.

Page 116 of 137 ends

b) The proposed liquor store will not be detrimental to the other existing and permitted uses in the area as the surrounding uses are also commercial. Additionally, the proposed use will be located within an existing shopping center which is equipped with the necessary infrastructure (including parking facilities) required to serve the demand generated by these uses. Moreover, the proposed business is required to comply with the state’s regulation regarding the sale of alcohol beverages and shall first obtain a permit from the Department of Alcohol Beverage Control prior to operation.
c) The project is subject to the Conditions of Approval in Exhibit 4, which are necessary and desirable for the purpose of protecting public health, safety, convenience, and general welfare of the public, in accordance with the intent and purpose of the City’s zoning regulations.

3. The proposal is consistent with the General Plan for the following reasons:
a) Conditional Use Permit CUP2024-0010 is consistent with General Plan Goal ED-4 as the project retains a local business that has served the community for eight years which will contribute to the diversity of the local business base and generate sales tax revenue to support municipal operations.
b) Conditional Use Permit CUP2024-0010 is consistent with Policy ED-4.1 as the project would expand the retail and visitor-serving opportunities by introducing a new retail use to the shopping center which will add to the revenue-generating uses which will assist in maintaining a strong sales tax base.
c) Policy LU-11.7 aims to regulate the location and number of alcohol sales based on proximity to other such uses, residences, schools, parks, and religious facilities. By requiring a Conditional Use Permit, staff is able to control and mitigate the effects of such a use with conditions which meet the intent of Policy LU-11.7.

4. The proposal is consistent with the Commercial Retail District of the North Main Street Specific Plan for the following reason:
a) Subject to the approval of a conditional use permit, a liquor store is a permitted use within the Commercial Retail District of the North Main Street Specific Plan. The use is in harmony with other existing uses within the commercial retail center in which the proposed use is located within as well as the surrounding areas.

Beverage Control prior to operation.
c. The project is subject to the Conditions of Approval in Exhibit 4, which are necessary and desirable for the purpose of protecting public health, safety, convenience, and general welfare of the public, in accordance with the intent and purpose of the City’s zoning regulations.

3. The proposal is consistent with the General Plan for the following reasons:
a. Conditional Use Permit CUP2024-0010 is consistent with General Plan Goal ED-4 as the project retains a local business that has served the community for eight years which will contribute to the diversity of the local business base and generate sales tax revenue to support municipal operations. b. Conditional Use Permit CUP2024-0010 is consistent with Policy ED-4.1 as the project would expand the retail and visitor-serving opportunities by introducing a new retail use to the shopping center which will add to the revenue-generating uses which will assist in maintaining a strong sales tax base. c. Policy LU-11.7 aims to regulate the location and number of alcohol sales based on proximity to other such uses, residences, schools, parks, and religious facilities. By requiring a Conditional Use Permit, staff is able to control and mitigate the effects of such a use with conditions which meet the intent of Policy LU-11.7.

4. The proposal is consistent with the Commercial Retail District of the North Main Street Specific Plan for the following reason:
a. Subject to the approval of a conditional use permit, a liquor store is a permitted use within the Commercial Retail District of the North Main Street Specific Plan.

The use is in harmony with other existing uses within the commercial retail center in which the proposed use is located within as well as the surrounding areas.

SECTION 3. Effective Date. CUP2024-0010 will not become effective until the City Council either takes no action on the report or otherwise makes a decision after a City Council initiated review.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution be delivered to the City Clerk of said City and a copy thereof be sent to the applicant therefore at the address of said applicant as set forth in the application for said Conditional Use Permit.

Future Agenda Item Request Form
Future agenda items should be limited to new issues that emerge during the course of the year that are urgent and cannot wait until the next priority setting session of Council before requiring action.

Name: Wes Speake
Date: 2/13/2025
Title Name/Topic: WRCRWA Representative Change
Background

1. What is the purpose for the request i.e. what you are trying to achieve or do? When making the change to a councilmember representing the city on the WRCRWA board in 2022. The decision to specify a member, was supposed to be two-fold. A councilmember not staff represent the city with a backup. Then designating myself as the primary and Tony Daddario, then serving as Mayor and Vice Mayor respectively. The Ordinance was written that the representative was the Mayor and Vice Mayor not a councilmember appointed by the mayor as is all the other regional positions.

Rotating this position is not fair to the other members of WRCRWA board and doesn't build continuity with role.

2. What is the scope of the work you wish to see done?
Amend ordinance to make it like every other regional board that the mayor appoints a councilmember.

3. Does this request align with the City’s Strategic Plan? How? #6 High Performing Government- Having consistent representation is a good thing for City and its relationships with WRCRWA board members

4. What is the desired timeline to have the issue considered by Council? By March

5. Is the issue urgent requiring action before the next priority setting session of Council (Spring Workshop)?
Yes
