The largest facility is Water Reclamation Facility #1 (WRF1), which has a treatment capacity of 11.5 million gallons per day. The facility has two 1-megawatt generators to power the facility and continue operations in the event of a power outage. The Utilities Department utilized Dudek to prepare a condition assessment of the generators, automatic transfer switches (ATSs), and switchgear to identify any repairs or upgrades needed to maintain the operability of the backup power system, and keep the plant operational in the event of an outage. The report identified several needed repairs for the ATSs and switchgear.

ANALYSIS:

Staff obtained a budgetary quote from one of the City’s on-call electrical contractors to do the work. The work includes:
• Replacing trip units,
• Breaker testing,
• Inspecting, cleaning and torquing switchboards,
• Verifying fans and controls are operational, and
• Testing and servicing ATSs.

This work requires several days of work in order to stagger the partial shutdowns necessary to complete the work. Staff recommends the creation of a project and an appropriation of $150,000 to complete the work. The work is scheduled to be completed in Fall 2026 to ensure the backup power system is in good condition in advance of predicted El Nino weather.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Approval of the recommended actions will result in an appropriation in the amount of $150,000 to the newly created Water Reclamation Facility #1 Automatic Transfer Switch and Switchgear Repairs, Operating and Maintenance Project within the Sewer Utility Fund (FD_1572). There is sufficient working capital available for the recommended action.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

This action is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15302 (c) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Action (CEQA), which states that “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” and is therefore exempt from CEQA. This action consists of the repair to Item 6.8

existing equipment and therefore, is exempt from the requirements of CEQA. No environmental analysis is required.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:

CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER WITH COPP CONTRACTING INC. FOR THE CHASE

DRIVE AND SMITH AVENUE SIDEWALK GAP CLOSURE PROJECT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This staff report requests that the City Council authorize Contract Change Order No. 6, in the amount of $21,427.59, to Copp Contracting Inc., for final field-measured quantity adjustments and project closeout.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to issue Contract Change Order No.6 in the amount of $21,427.59 to Copp Contracting Inc., for total notto-exceed contract amount of $646,137.82.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

The Sidewalk Gap Closure at Chase Drive and Smith Avenue, Capital Improvement Project No. ST-2022-14 installed new sidewalks along Thacker Drive, Chase Drive, and Smith Avenue with pedestrian curb ramps to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance requirements. Additionally, new curb and gutter, street lighting, and landscaping were added where appropriate. The project was partially funded by a Item 6.9

Page 234 of 410 ends

$432,500 SB821 Transportation Development Act Article 3 Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Grant for both design and construction.

The City awarded the Construction Contract to Copp Contracting Inc. (Contractor) on January 7, 2026, in the amount of $570,464 and authorized the City Manager, or his designee, to execute any non-substantive change orders up to 10% of the construction cost, totaling $57,046.

The sum of Contract Change Orders 1 through 5 was $54,246.23, which was within the City Council authorized 10% contingency.

ANALYSIS:

On July 23, 2026, the Contractor substantially completed construction of the Sidewalk Gap Closure at Chase Drive and Smith Avenue. City staff measured and tabulated final installed quantities as part of the review process for the Contractor’s final invoice and overall project close-out. Due to direct field changes and minor variations between bid quantities and as-built quantities, there is a 3.2% overage on the original contract bid items.

The net quantity adjustments for the resulting Balancing Change Order total $18,736.71 (see Exhibit 1 for details). Additionally, a minor Contract Change Order for Pole Base Bolt Adjustment and Portland Concrete Cement Cancellation totals $2,690.88. These two change orders combined result in Contract Change Order No. 6, in the amount of $21,427.59. While there is sufficient funding within the project budget to pay for Change Order 6, it requires Council approval because it exceeds the total authorized contingency amount.

Contract Change Order No. 6 will finalize all construction quantities and facilitate final payment, to close out the Project.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Funding for the recommended actions is available within the Sidewalk Gap Closure at Chase Drive and Smith Avenue, Capital Improvement Project No. ST-2022-14 within the Measure X Fund (FD_1120).

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

This project is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15301(d) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt if the project involves negligible or no expansion of use to the existing facility.

CONTRACT VARIANCE SUMMARY
Justification for Item(s) No. S-7 Design Engineer under-estimated the pavement excavations, as referred to in the attached RFI No.3. S7.1, S-7.3, and S-7.4 were increases in AC Pavement segments at Chase Dr/Gilbert Ave. and Smith Ave. necessary to allow a proper transition to the existing AC Pavement surface. Items: S-7.2, S-7.5, S-7.6, S-7.7, S-7.9, S-7.10, S-7.11, S-7.12, S-7.15 are various construction items that were not constructed or installed per the planned estimates and City changes. Items: S-7.8/7.8.1, S-7.13/7-13.1, and S-7.14/7.14.1 are overages that were compensated to contractor with payment to their Invoice No. 3, and thus are credited on this Balancing Contract Change Order No. 6. Item S-7.16 was necessary to relocate a street light due to an objection from the resident at 2852 Thacker Dr (the light would block his view from his 2nd-floor window). Item S-7.17 is a claim by the subcontractor for the cancellation of a short load of concrete (PCC) and the cost to revise the bolt circle for the streetlight foundation of streetlights. For S-7.17's justification, refer to(Response to Ferreira’s CCO #2).

RESPONSE TO RFI NO. 3
Sidewalk Gap Closure at Chase Drive and Smith Avenue – Project No. ST-2022-14 TO: City of Corona – Attn: Gerardo Sanabria, Associate Engineer RE: RFI #3 – Excavation Quantities, submitted by Copp Contracting, Inc., dated June 26, 2026 SUBJECT: Unclassified Excavation – 135 CY Overage, Slot Patch, Chase Drive RFI:

The actual excavation quantities on this project resulted in a 135 CY overage. May we please request the slot patch on Chase Dr. be reevaluated? From our review, it seems the contract quantity may not include the cubic yards allowed for the depth of the 11-inch section.

RESPONSE:

Onward Engineering has reviewed Copp Contracting's RFI #3 regarding the Unclassified Excavation quantity for the Sidewalk Gap Closure project along Chase Drive and Smith Avenue, including the design plans and field conditions at the slot patch area.

Field conditions along combined with the full-depth AC pavement excavation required at the slot patch area, results in an Unclassified Excavation quantity beyond the 280 CY reflected in the bid documents. Based on this review, Onward Engineering confirms a total Unclassified Excavation quantity of 420 CY for this work, consistent with the 135 CY overage identified in Copp Contracting's RFI.

Per the Contract Special Provisions, payment for Unclassified Excavation (including sawcutting, excavation, and removal of existing driveways, sidewalk, and pavement) is made on a cubic yard basis at the Contract unit price, with no additional compensation allowed beyond that unit price. Because the quantity overages put as at more than 125%, a lower unit price for all quantities over 125% may apply at the City’s discretion.

Onward Engineering recommends the City process the confirmed additional quantity of 135 CY as a quantity adjustment at the applicable Contract unit price or negotiated price, subject to the City's review and approval, and upon the Contractor's submission of field-measured quantities/documentation supporting the actual excavation performed.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:

ACCEPTANCE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF TRAFFIC SAFETY

SELECTIVE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM FEDERAL GRANT AWARD EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This staff report asks the City Council to accept and appropriate the State of California Office of Traffic Safety Selective Traffic Enforcement Program Federal Grant Award of $137,000, for project overtime and purchase of supplies in support of the program.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council:
a. Authorize the acceptance of the State of California Office of the Traffic Safety Selective Traffic Enforcement Program Federal Award grant number PT2738, of $137,000 for Local Law Enforcement Agencies.
b. Authorize an appropriation and estimated revenue increase in the amount of $137,000 to the Police Department’s grant budget within the Grant General Fund (FD_1111) to be reimbursed from the State of California Office of Traffic Safety.

Item 6.10

Page 252 of 410 ends

c. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute any required grant documents that are in compliance with the City Council’s actions hereunder.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

The State’s Office of Traffic Safety Selective Traffic Enforcement Program provides grant funding for specific projects that address the priorities of the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program. This program utilizes best practice strategies to reduce the number of persons killed and injured in crashes involving alcohol and other primary crash factors. Specific projects addressing these priorities include driving under the influence saturation patrols, sobriety checkpoints, collaborative driving under the influence enforcement, traffic safety education including Drive for Life, distracted driving enforcement, traffic enforcement, bicycle and pedestrian enforcement, collaborative traffic enforcement, street racing and sideshow enforcement operations, and motorcycle safety enforcement.

The Police Department has successfully applied for funding from the State of California Office of Traffic Safety for the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program for Local Law Enforcement Agencies.

ANALYSIS:

This grant will support the State’s Office of Traffic Safety’s priority program areas outlined above. In addition, the Corona Police Department will participate in and report data for various campaigns, such as the Distracted Driving Awareness Month in April 2027 and participate in the statewide Click It or Ticket mobilization period in May 2027.

This funding will also provide some DUI checkpoint supplies and authorizes training costs.

The training funding will provide for four officers to attend Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) and Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) classes. Additional officers will be authorized to attend the Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) Training and the DRE re-certification training.

This is a one-time grant award for a General Fund reimbursement of designated training and project overtime in support of the program. The grant performance period is from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Approval of the recommended actions will result in an appropriation and estimated revenue increase in the amount of $137,000 to the Police Department’s grant budget within the Grant General Fund (FD_1111) to be reimbursed from the State of California Office of Traffic Safety. Expenditures will be reimbursed to the Grant General Fund after submitting the quarterly claim amounts in that period. There is no match requirement. Any remaining budget from Fiscal Year 2027 will carry forward into Fiscal Year 2028.

Item 6.10

Page 253 of 410 ends

Estimated Overtime Enforcement $ 132,579
Travel $ 2,985
DUI Equipment and Supplies $ 1,436
Total $ 137,000
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 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 action of direct enforcement is minimal and there is no possibility this will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Describe the city, county, or jurisdiction this grant will impact.

As of July 1, 2024, the City of Corona’s population reached 161,540, representing a steady upward trend of approximately 2.86% since 2000. This sustained growth has led to increased traffic density and a corresponding rise in multi-modal traffic crashes involving motor vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians.

Corona’s central location serves as a critical junction for Interstate 15, State Route 91, and State Route 71.

While these routes make the city an attractive hub for working-class families, they also funnel high volumes of regional commuter traffic between Orange, Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Bernardino Counties through city limits.

U.S. Census data ranks Corona among the worst (6th worst) in the state and nation for commute times, with residents averaging 35 minutes each way. This prolonged road exposure, combined with significant passthrough traffic—where motorists utilize local corridors to bypass freeway congestion—exacerbates local traffic hazards and increases the frequency of aggressive driving behaviors.

Spanning 39.2 square miles, the city’s vast layout and reliance on arterial bypasses present significant challenges for traffic enforcement and roadway safety monitoring.

Describe the problem(s) to be addressed, supported by current and relevant crash data. (most recent calendar year data/stats).

In 2025, the City of Corona continued to face significant roadway safety challenges driven by its role as a critical regional hub. Despite the earlier completion of major expansion projects like the 15/91 Express Lanes Connector, the city’s roadway infrastructure remains under constant pressure from a regional population that consistently outpaces capacity. Corona’s continued growth, coupled with it’s central location at the junction of Interstate 15 and State Route 91, funneling commuters between four major counties, ensures that local arterial streets remain burdened by high-volume "pass-through" traffic and extreme congestion. This environment of persistent gridlock has directly contributed to a rise in dangerous driving behaviors. With Corona historically ranking among the worst in the nation for commute times—averaging 35 minutes each way—motorists frequently resort to distracted driving. The heavy reliance on navigation apps to find bypasses through residential neighborhoods leads to a pervasive neglect of traffic control devices and posted speed limits. The resulting safety risks are most acute at high-volume intersections such as the Main Street and Sixth Street corridors, and the transition points at Serfas Club Drive and Cajalco Road, where congestion frequently intersects with aggressive and distracted driving. 2027 California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) support is essential to address a troubling multi-year trend in traffic violence. In the 2025 calendar year, the City of Corona recorded 452 injury crashes with 607 victims and 1 fatality. Between 2023 and 2025, the city experienced a total of 1,299 injury crashes and 15 fatal crashes, with impaired driving standing out as a primary threat. During this period, 120 crashes involving alcohol or drugs resulted in 164 injuries and 6 fatalities, meaning that 40% of all traffic fatalities in the city were directly linked to substance impairment.

The OTS grant program will enable targeted enforcement and high-visibility patrols to mitigate these risks and protect the well-being of the Corona community.

Define the target population the grant intends to serve and how they are affected by the problem(s).

This grant will work to protect a diverse target population comprising 161,540 residents and the hundreds of thousands of commuters and visitors who traverse the City of Corona daily. The traffic safety challenges identified—specifically impaired and distracted driving—impact these groups across several critical dimensions:

Vulnerable Road Users: Pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists face the highest risk of catastrophic injury.

Given the 295 VRU-involved crashes recorded in the past three-year period, this grant prioritizes the Item 6.10

Page 258 of 410 ends

9/24/2026 8:30:23 AM Page 5 of 20
protection of those most susceptible to the "pass-through" traffic and distracted driving patterns prevalent on Corona’s arterial corridors.

Commuters and Commercial Drivers: The high-volume transit between Riverside, Orange, and San Bernardino Counties places both private and commercial drivers at an elevated risk of involvement in impaired driving incidents. With 40% of fatal crashes involving alcohol or drugs, every motorist on the 91 and 15 freeway interchanges is a potential victim of high-risk behavior.

High-Risk Demographics: Enforcement and education efforts will specifically target younger drivers prone to risky behaviors and individuals with a history of recidivism in substance abuse, aiming to break the cycle of impaired driving before it results in a fatality.

The consequences of these traffic safety issues extend beyond physical harm. The community bears a staggering economic and social burden, including rising medical costs, emergency response expenditures, and significant loss of workplace productivity. Furthermore, the emotional trauma inflicted on families by 1,299 injury crashes and 15 fatalities since 2023 diminishes the overall quality of life in Corona. When residents feel unsafe walking or cycling in their own neighborhoods due to traffic volatility, the city’s livability is compromised.

With the support of OTS, the City of Corona aims to implement high-visibility enforcement and strategic education to measurably reduce traffic-related incidents. This proactive approach will alleviate the economic strain on city resources and ensure a safer, more secure environment for every resident and visitor utilizing our roadway network.

SUBJECT:

RESOLUTION APPROVING A REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT FOR A WATER

MAIN EXTENSION IN STATE STREET, NORTH OF MARLIN WAY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This staff report asks the City Council to approve a Reimbursement Agreement and establish a Capital Improvement Project to facilitate the construction of a public water main extension on State Street.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council:
a. Adopt Resolution No. 2026-098, establishing the reimbursement of 77% of eligible Total Costs to construct the water main extension on State Street, north of Marlin Way, with future cost recovery from benefiting parcels. b. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the Reimbursement Agreement for Water Main Extension with Betty S. Madsen, and to take all actions necessary to implement the agreement.

Item 6.12

Page 281 of 410 ends

c. Authorize the creation of a new Capital Improvement Project titled “State Street Water Main Extension”.
d. Authorize an appropriation in the amount of $128,860 from the Water Capacity Fund (FD_1507) to the new project titled “State Street Water Main Extension” for the reimbursement of eligible costs in accordance with the Reimbursement Agreement.
e. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to adjust the budget based on final verified eligible costs.

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

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

The subject property, 18556 State Street, is located approximately 310 feet north of the intersection of State Street and Marlin Way, within Riverside County. The area where the subject property is located includes parcels that have not previously been served by a public water main, which has limited the ability of property owners to access City water service. Currently, there is no existing public water main extending along State Street to the north of Marlin Way, which means that properties in this area cannot connect to the City’s water system under standard conditions. As a result, property owners have faced challenges in obtaining reliable water service, and meeting City requirements for development or redevelopment.

Corona Municipal Code (CMC) 13.14.070, Subsection A, requires applicants for new water service to construct a new water main to City standards along the entire property frontage, when a water main does not currently exist. The proposed 378-foot water main extension will address the missing water access by installing new public water infrastructure along State Street, and providing water service to 18556 State Street. This water improvement will provide direct access to City water service for the properties on that corridor, supporting both current needs and future development opportunities. The extension is expected to enhance water reliability, improve fire protection capabilities, and increase the overall value and utility of the properties along this corridor.

The request for a reimbursement agreement was initiated by the property owner of 18556 State Street, who is seeking to advance the costs of constructing the water main extension. Under this arrangement, the owner will fund the installation of the new water main, and the City will provide a mechanism for reimbursement of eligible costs, in accordance with applicable municipal code provisions and established City practices.

This approach allows the necessary infrastructure to be installed in a timely manner, while also ensuring that the financial responsibility for the improvement is shared equitably among those who benefit from the new water service.

ANALYSIS:

Item 6.12

Page 282 of 410 ends

Under the proposed reimbursement agreement, the property owner will be responsible for the design, permitting, and construction of the water main extension. The City will review and verify Total Costs, including compliance with Prevailing Wage Laws and the California Department of Industrial Relations requirements, and reimburse the property owner the City’s share, upon acceptance and approved documentation. The City has no construction role beyond its regulatory approvals and reimbursement administration.

Previous connections on other properties along this corridor were not required to construct frontage main extensions. Therefore, the agreement provides City reimbursement to the property owner up to 77% of the Total Costs to construct.

Accordingly, the property owner is obligated to pay 23% of the Total Costs, which was determined based on the length of their property frontage compared to the overall length of the project. Although such scenario is not anticipated in the near future, the reimbursement structure provides for future recovery of the City’s share from benefiting parcels that would be required to connect to the extended water main. The benefiting parcels, identified as APN 278-230-018 and APN 278-230-022, would be required to pay fair shares of 35% and 9%, respectively, also based on the length of their property frontage compared to the overall length of the project. The City would cover the remaining 33% of the fair share.

Any future development or utility connection would occur under County jurisdiction and solely at the discretion of the respective property owners. Staff review of available parcel information indicates that development activity may not be imminent due to topographical challenges associated with the properties. While the City cannot forecast any development outcome, the reimbursement mechanism will provide structure for recovering costs should additional connections occur at a future date.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Approval of the recommended actions will result in an appropriation in the amount of $128,860 from the Water Capacity Fund (FD_1507) to the new project titled “State Street Water Main Extension” for the reimbursement of eligible costs in accordance with the Reimbursement Agreement. The final appropriation may be adjusted based on verified eligible costs in accordance with the executed agreement and applicable municipal code requirements. There is sufficient working capital available for the recommended actions.

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 approves a resolution and agreement for reimbursements of costs associated with a Item 6.12

ministerial permit, and there is no possibility that approving this project will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

CORONA, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING

REIMBURSEMENT AMOUNT TO COLLECT FROM

BENEFITTING PROPERTIES TO COVER THE

PROPORTIONATE SHARE OF CONSTRUCTING THE
STATE STREET WATER MAIN EXTENSION.

WHEREAS, the City of Corona (“City”) provides water services to customers within the City utility service area; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Corona Municipal Code (“CMC”) section 13.14.070(A), if a water main does not exist along the frontage of a parcel of property to allow a water service connection, the applicant for new water service is required to construct, at the applicant’s expense, a water main to the City’s standards along the entire property frontage and connecting the property to be serviced with the City’s existing transmission and distribution facilities; and WHEREAS, the real property located at 18570 State Street and designated as Assessor Parcel Number 278-230-028 (“18570 Parcel”) and the real property located at 18540 State Street and designated as Assessor Parcel Number 278-230-0285 (“18540 Parcel”) were previously permitted to connect to the City’s water system via a long service line connected to the existing water main terminus at the intersection of State Street and Marlin Way without constructing a water main extension along the frontage of such properties; and WHEREAS, the owner of certain real property located at 18556 State Street, Corona, California and designated as Assessor Parcel Number 278-230-026 (“18556 Parcel”), which is situated immediately north of the 18570 Parcel and immediately south of the 18540 Parcel, desires to connect to the City’s water system; and WHEREAS, pursuant to CMC section 13.14.1070(A), the owner of the 18556 Parcel is required to construct an extension of the City water main line for approximately 378 feet from the existing terminus at the intersection of State Street and Marlin Way (“State Street Water Main Extension”); and
WHEREAS, if the owners of the 18570 Parcel and the 18540 Parcel had been required to extend the water main along the frontage of such properties, the length of the State Street Water Main Extension required to be constructed for connection of the 18556 Parcel would be reduced to approximately 87.91 feet, which is the linear frontage of the 18556 Parcel and would be approximately 23% percent of the cost to construct the State Street Water Main Extension; and WHEREAS, the City has entered into a reimbursement agreement with the owner of the 18556 Parcel whereby the owner of the 18556 Parcel will be responsible for 23% percent of the cost to construct the State Street Water Main Extension and the City will advance the funds to Item 6.12

Page 285 of 410 ends

#11000511v1
pay for the remaining 77% percent of the costs to construct the State Street Water Main Extension; and
WHEREAS, the State Street Water Main Extension will provide a benefit to the 18556 Property, as well as two other undeveloped properties on State Street designated as Assessor Parcel Numbers 278-230-018 and 278-230-022 (each a “Future Benefitted Parcel”); and WHEREAS, each Future Benefitted Parcel may now, or in the future, desire or be required to connect to the City’s water system; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to establish a reimbursement charge for the State Street Water Main Extension to be collected prior to connection of a Future Benefitted Parcel to the City’s water system; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that the reimbursement charge should be established and allocated to each Future Benefitted Parcel based upon the linear footage of the State Street Water Main Extension that is located along the property frontage of each Future Benefitted Parcel, since such allocation provides a fair, reasonable, and rational formula to apportion the total cost of the State Street Water Main Extension in relation to the benefit received by each Future Benefitted Parcel; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires that the amount of the reimbursement charge for the State Street Water Main Extension be imposed and collected based upon the actual Total Cost (defined below) for the State Street Water Main Extension; and WHEREAS, the reimbursement charges imposed and collected for the State Street Water Main Extension pursuant to this Resolution shall be used to reimburse the City of the costs and expenses incurred to pay for the construction of the State Street Water Main Extension.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
CITY OF CORONA, CALIFORNIA AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Findings. The recitals set forth above are hereby adopted as findings in support of this Resolution.

SECTION 2. Reimbursement Charge. The City Council hereby establishes and adopts an amount equal to the Total Cost to construct the State Street Water Main Extension as the reimbursement charge to be collected from each Future Benefitted Parcel prior to connection to the City’s water (“Reimbursement Charge”). For purposes of this Resolution and calculating the Reimbursement Charge, the “Total Cost” of constructing the State Street Water Main Extension shall include, without limitation, all labor materials, tools, equipment, services, and incidental and customary work necessary to plan, engineer, design, environmentally review, permit, site, bid, and construct the State Street Water Main Extension, including without limitation, all costs and expenses for the following: engineering, architectural, appraisal, legal, and other consultant services throughout the preconstruction and construction phases; bid preparation and Item 6.12

SECTION 6. CEQA Findings. The City Council finds that the adoption of this Resolution 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. Adoption of this Resolution is also exempt pursuant to Section 15303(d), which provides that the construction of water main, sewage, electrical, gas, and other utility extensions of reasonable length to serve an adjacent single-family residence are exempt from CEQA. This Resolution simply establishes reimbursement charges to cover the proportionate share of constructing the water main necessary to connect a limited number of single-family residences located on State Street to the City’s water system. Construction of the State Street Water Main Extension will be reviewed as a separate project. Therefore, no further environmental analysis is required for establishment of the reimbursement charge for certain private properties along State Street.

SECTION 7. Effective Date. This Resolution shall become effective on October 7, 2026.

PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED this 7

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:

WAIVER OF UNDERGROUNDING REQUIREMENT FOR OVERHEAD UTILITY WIRES LOCATED AT 675 AND 627 WEST RINCON STREET
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This staff report asks the City Council to consider a waiver from the conditions of approval to underground the existing overhead utility wires for CUP2023-0001. The utility poles and high voltage electrical lines on site will remain regardless of whether the applicant is required to underground the overhead utilities.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council grant a waiver under Section 15.60.060 of the Corona Municipal Code for the undergrounding of poles and overhead utility wires located along the easterly property line of 675 and 627 West Rincon Street.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

The developer for 675 and 627 West Rincon Street, under Conditional Use Permit application number CUP2023-0001, proposes a battery energy storage facility on three parcels totaling 5.5 acres located at the northwest corner of North Cota Street and Rincon Street in the M-1 (Light Manufacturing) zone (APNs: 119-190-002, 003 & 011). The project plans to construct 120 battery energy storage units and 30 transformer facilities.

Item 6.13

Page 299 of 410 ends

The project is currently under construction and is located along West Rincon Street, northwest of the intersection of West Rincon Street and North Cota Street. The project obtained a grading permit for the site grading and the construction of the retaining walls.

The proposed project is conditioned to underground all existing and new utilities adjacent to and on-site in accordance with the City of Corona Corona Municipal Code (CMC) Section 15.60.050, which requires overhead wires that transmit less than 34,000 volts to be relocated underground. The project is also conditioned to complete street widening improvements along North Cota Street and Rincon Street, pavement rehabilitation, update road striping, curb & gutter, sidewalk, parkway and street drainage improvements.

Four utility poles with overhead wires are located along the property’s frontage along the west side North Cota Street. The overall length of the overhead wires less than 34,000 volts to be underground is approximately 375’ fronting North Cota Street. The project is also required to underground approximately 125’ of overhead low voltage wires that cross over North Cota Street from the west side, and connect to the power pole located on the east side of North Cota Street. The above ground wires on the four existing poles that carry over 34,000 volts will not be undergrounded.

The proposed parkway improvements along North Cota Street will grade around the poles and possibly raise the surface around the poles roughly one to three feet. The applicant indicated that they have coordinated with SCE for the proposed modifications to the power poles. The applicant has also indicated that one existing power pole along North Cota Street, owned by SCE, will be replaced with an 85’ tall steel pole to carry the existing SCE 66,000 volts wires. The existing 66,000 volts wire and proposed 85’ tall steel pole will provide service to the proposed SCE Headstock Switchyard. Additionally, the project proposes a second pole replacement to be a steel pole approximately 95 feet tall located on the public right-of-way on the eastern side of North Cota Street. Three existing power poles along North Cota Street, along property’s frontage, are not anticipated to be replaced, the poles are composed of wood and are approximately 70-75 feet tall.

ANALYSIS:

The applicant submitted a request to the City on August 27, 2026, that the City Council grant a waiver of undergrounding requirement for utility poles and overhead wires that run along the property’s frontage along the west side of North Cota Street.

CMC Section 15.60.060 allows the City Council to grant a waiver of this requirement if the finding can be made that the undergrounding of the utility wires would be unreasonable, impractical, and cause undue hardship to the applicant or public.

Staff have determined that the finding exists for the City Council to grant the waiver for the following reasons:

Item 6.13

Page 300 of 410 ends

a) The utility poles along Cota Street will remain regardless of whether the overhead wire less than 34,000 volts along the frontage of 675 and 627 West Rincon Street are placed underground.
b) The overhead wires greater than 34,000 volts will continue to remain above ground beyond the boundaries of the project site to the north and south. c) The approximate cost to underground the electrical conduit has been estimated to be $500,000, causing financial hardship to the applicant.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The applicant has paid the Utility Underground Waiver Request fee of $2,013.

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. There is no possibility that this action on granting a waiver to the requirement within the Corona Municipal Code will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

Corona, California 92882
RE: Circle City Project, CUP2023-0001 – Request for Waiver of Undergrounding of Existing Utilities Located at the Northwest Corner of Cota Street and Rincon Street Dear Mayor Casillas, Vice Mayor Speake, and Councilmembers:

I am writing on behalf of Circle City Energy Storage, LLC (“Circle City”) to request a waiver of undergrounding requirements at the Circle City Battery Energy Storage System Project (“Project”) site.

The Project is a battery energy storage facility on three parcels totaling 5.5 acres, approved by Conditional Use Permit (“CUP”) 2023-0001, located at the northwest corner of Cota Street and Rincon Street.

Existing utility lines run along four poles on the western side of Cota Street, including existing Southern California Edison (SCE) & Spectrum telecom lines and a 33 kilovolt (“kV”) power line (“Existing Lines”) that run along the lower portion of the existing poles. These Existing Lines are the subject of this request.

Per Corona Municipal Code (“CMC”) section 15.60 et seq., overhead wires that transmit less than 34 kV must be relocated underground when a new building or structure is proposed, or an addition is made to an existing structure or building to which those wires provide service. In addition, the CUP Conditions of Approval Nos. 7, 10, and 31 require undergrounding of all existing and new utilities adjacent to and on-site, except as otherwise provided by the CMC.
1 In particular, City Planning and Development
Department staff recently clarified in conversations with Circle City representatives that these Conditions require the undergrounding of the Existing Lines that run along the west side of Cota Street, adjacent to the Project site. However, CMC section 15.60.060 allows the City Council to grant a waiver of these requirements if the finding can be made that undergrounding would be unreasonable, impractical, and cause undue hardship to the applicant or the general public. 1 Condition of Approval No. 10 excepts “cables greater than 32k volts” from undergrounding. Because the language of the CMC excepts only cables greater than 34 kV, we understand this Condition to be a mere typo.

Item 6.13

Mayor Casillas, Vice Mayor Speake, and Councilmembers
August 27, 2026

52387163.3
We are therefore requesting a waiver of these Conditions on the basis that the Existing Lines do not trigger the underground provisions of the City’s undergrounding ordinance and undergrounding would impose a significant burden on the Project in terms of both construction timing and costs.

Pursuant to the City’s undergrounding ordinance, “no person shall construct, install or place above the surface of the ground any poles, wires and associated structures, irrespective of the use or proposed use of the structure or building to be served thereby.” (CMC, § 15.60.030.) The policy behind the ordinance is to preserve and protect the health, safety, and general welfare of residents and the public at large as poles, wires, and associated structures may create dangerous situations or harm the City’s natural beauty and aesthetic environment. (Id., § 15.60.010.) A nonconforming utility facility, meaning a utility facility that is above-ground as of the effective date of the undergrounding ordinance, “may continue to be used and may be altered, enlarged or have additions thereto in its existing location without any provisions of [the ordinance] being applicable thereto.” (Id., § 15.60.080(A).) A nonconforming facility may only be terminated (i.e., brought into compliance through undergrounding) “when any building or structure to which [that] utility facility provides any service is enlarged or an addition is made thereto . . . .” (Id., §

15.60.080(A).)
Under these provisions, the Existing Lines do not trigger undergrounding. These lines currently exist above-ground, and so are a nonconforming use. The undergrounding ordinance states this nonconforming use “may continue to be used and may be altered, enlarged or have additions thereto in its existing location.” (CMC, § 15.60.080(A).) In addition, the Project does not trigger the termination provision of the undergrounding ordinance. Because these lines do not serve the Project site, construction at the Project will not enlarge or add to “any building or structure to which any [nonconforming] utility facility provides any service,”—the trigger for termination of a nonconforming, above-ground use. (Ibid.) Thus, the undergrounding ordinance does not require the nonconforming Existing Lines to be terminated. (See Ibid.)
In addition, the lot frontage of the Project site is only 500 feet and contains four utility poles. Outside of the Project frontage, the Existing Lines continue to the adjacent properties above-ground on other existing poles in both directions. The Existing Lines are owned and maintained by separate companies outside of Circle City control and approval for any design and construction of undergrounding this infrastructure would cause significant delays as well as uncertainty as to whether those approvals could be received.

Moreover, we estimate the undergrounding cost to be $500,000. Supporting documentation for this cost estimate will be provided under separate cover. This cost—together with the costs inherent in construction delays caused by the undergrounding itself—would render the Project financially infeasible.

Granting this waiver would not adversely impact public health or safety. In fact, it would positively impact health and safety by avoiding the installation of additional above-ground infrastructure known to reduce and obstruct the vision of motor vehicle operators and impair emergency response personnel. (See CMC, § 15.60.101(A).) It would also avoid introducing an additional blight on the natural beauty and aesthetic environment of the City. (Id., § 15.60.010(D).) Granting this waiver would be consistent with Item 6.13

Mayor Casillas, Vice Mayor Speake, and Councilmembers
August 27, 2026

52387163.3
the intent of the CMC provisions allowing relief where strict compliance would result in unnecessary hardship.

Thank you for your consideration of this request. We appreciate your attention to this matter and respectfully request your approval of this waiver request. Please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected] or (510) 525-0062 or Ramon Rituerto Prieto, [email protected], (346) 319-0217, if you have any questions or need additional information.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING SUBMITTAL OF INDIVIDUAL GRANT APPLICATIONS

FOR ALL CALRECYCLE GRANTS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This staff report asks the City Council to approve a resolution authorizing the submittal of individual grant applications for all CalRecycle Grants. This is an eligibility requirement in order for the City to apply for the Rubberized Pavement Grant Program.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council:
a. Adopt Resolution No. 2026-097, authorizing submittal of individual grant applications for all CalRecycle grants.
b. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute grant applications and documents for a period of five years.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

The City of Corona has received a total of $628,874 in grants from the Rubberized Pavement Grant Program, formerly called the Rubberized Asphalt Concrete (RAC) Grant Program. According to The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery Item 6.14

Page 309 of 410 ends

(CalRecycle) guidelines, the City of Corona is eligible to apply for approximately $327,000 for Fiscal Year 2026/27. However, CalRecycle requires a current resolution that identifies the job titles of the Signature Authorities authorized to sign all grant-related documents necessary to secure funds and implement the approved projects. The resolution has a maximum valid duration of five years from the date of adoption. If the resolution expires during the application period or the grant term, CalRecycle requires the adoption of a new valid resolution. The City’s most recent CalRecycle resolution, No. 2017-109, expired on November 1, 2022.The City will need to adopt a new resolution in order to be eligible for this funding.

ANALYSIS:

CalRecycle administers the Rubberized Pavement Grant Program to promote markets for recycled-content surfacing products made from waste tires generated in California.

The goal is to decrease the adverse environmental impacts created by unlawful disposal and stockpiling of waste tires. RAC is a proven road paving material used in California since the 1970s. RAC is made by blending ground tire rubber with asphalt binder then mixing the blended materials with conventional materials. Roads made with RAC last 50% longer than roads made only with conventional materials and have been found to reduce roadway noise levels by an average of seven to nine decibels.

If awarded, the grant funds would pay for a portion of the construction cost for the Annual Pavement Restoration Project (Zone 2), Capital Improvement Project No. ST-2027-03.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Approval of this resolution has no direct financial impact. However, if awarded, the City is anticipated to receive approximately $327,000 during the FY 2027 Rubberized Pavement Grant Program application cycle. This grant does not require matching funds. All grants awarded will be presented to City Council as required for appropriation approval.

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 simply authorizes the submittal of a grant application.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:

ZONE TEXT AMENDMENT TO SECTION 17.98.030 OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO

GRANT ONE EXTENSION FOR SPECIAL USE PERMITS FOR TEMPORARY

STRUCTURES OR TRAILERS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This staff report asks the City Council to approve Zone Text Amendment 2026-0003 to amend Section 17.98.030 of the Zoning Ordinance to grant one extension up to 180 days within a calendar year for Special Use Permits approved for temporary placement of structures or trailers associated with permitted improvements to existing businesses.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council:
a. Approve Zone Text Amendment 2026-0003, as recommended by the Planning and Housing Commission.
b. Introduce, by title only, and waive full reading of consideration of Ordinance No. 3434, first reading of an ordinance amending Section 17.98.030 of Chapter 17.98 of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Corona Municipal Code to authorize one 180-day extension for Special Use Permits issued for temporary structures or trailers Item 8.1

Page 321 of 410 ends

associated with the remodel or expansion of commercial or industrial development (ZTA2026-0003).

BACKGROUND:

The remodel or expansion of an existing commercial or industrial building can take many months, resulting in a disruption of services or sales, and potential loss of revenue should the business close during construction. To facilitate continued interim operations, businesses frequently request a permit for a temporary onsite placement of structures (e.g., storage containers, trailers containing offices, sales area and/or restroom facilities).

Section 17.98.030(A)(1)(e) of the Zoning Ordinance requires that a Special Use Permit (SUP) be approved by the City’s Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA) to allow the temporary onsite placement of structures for up to 180 days within a single calendar year. As an example, a local Kia dealership is presently undergoing demolition and reconstruction of its showroom and a remodel of its office, customer lounge, and service spaces. The dealership obtained an SUP to place several trailers onsite to serve as a temporary offices and customer areas, allowing them to continue sales and service during this time of construction.

Should construction activities extend longer than 180 days to complete, the City would benefit in having an ordinance in place that allows for the processing of reasonable SUP extensions. This ordinance aims to provide the framework that would allow for SUP extensions that would relieve businesses of additional interruptions to their operations, avoid undue cost to those businesses that would otherwise be compelled to remove trailers prior to completion of permitted remodels/expansion, and/or avoid the potential for Code Compliance enforcement actions.

The requested amendment, ZTA2026-0003, would amend Section 17.98.030 to allow the Planning and Development Director the discretionary authority to grant one extension to an approved SUP, for up to 180 additional days within a single calendar year. The proposed amendment would not allow for extensions to SUPs granted for other uses or activities listed in Section 17.98.030(A)(2), rather only for those related to temporary placement of structures, storage containers, or trailers, with the intent of facilitating continued operation of a business on commercial or industrial zoned property during a permitted remodel or expansion.

Finally, Sections 17.98.030(A)(1)(e) and 17.98.030(A)(2)(e) contain conflicting information, with the former section citing the maximum permissible time for placement of “temporary structures or trailers” to be 180 days in a calendar year (with approval of an SUP), and the latter stating the limit to be 90 days. The 90-day limit is likely a minor typo inadvertently included with original adoption of the ordinance. As the references are both conflicting and duplicative, staff accordingly proposes that Section 17.98.030(A)(1)(e) be revised to remove the 180-day limit and Section 17.98.030(A)(2)(e) revised to state the correct “180 days” limit for placement of temporary structures and trailers.

Item 8.1

4. Granting the extension would comply with current law, standards and policies.

ANALYSIS:

Item 8.1

Page 326 of 410 ends

Remodel and expansion projects for commercial or industrial developments can take many months to complete following issuance of a building permit, resulting in a potential loss of revenue should the business close during the whole of construction. The SUP review and approval process prescribed by Section 17.98.030 attempts to address this common challenge, but as written, does not prescribe an adequate time limit to accommodate the majority of projects. To facilitate continued interim operation during construction, the proposed zone text amendment would provide the Planning and Development Director the discretionary option to grant one extension up to 180 days within the same calendar year and thereby allow businesses undergoing permitted construction to avoid interruptions to their operation, undue cost should they otherwise be compelled to remove trailers prior to completion of construction, and/or the potential for Code Compliance enforcement action. Finally, proposed text revisions would remove inconsistent and redundant language, thereby making the requirements of the referenced code section clearer and more concise.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

ZTA2026-0003 is City-initiated; therefore, no application fees were paid for the processing of this application.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

Pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Section 3.06 of the City’s Local Guidelines for Implementing CEQA, a project is exempt if the activity is covered by the “commonsense” exemption which states that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. This action involves minor text changes to the Zoning Ordinance that would not in and of themselves result in a physical change to the environment, and accordingly there is no possibility that the amendment will have a significant effect on the environment.

PLANNING AND HOUSING COMMISSION ACTION:

At its meeting of September 9, 2026, the Planning and Housing Commission considered the subject matter and took the following action:

Motion was made, seconded (Siqueland/Vernon), and carried unanimously, with Commissioners Longwell and Woody absent, that the Planning and Housing Commission recommend approval of ZTA2026-0003 to the City Council, with a revision that only one extension be granted to an applicable SUP and for a maximum of 180 days within a calendar year, based on the findings and conditions contained in the Staff Report. The minutes of the Planning and Housing Commission meeting are included as Exhibit 3.

ORDINANCE NO. 3434

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CORONA,
CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 17.98.030 OF
CHAPTER 17.98 OF TITLE 17 (ZONING) OF THE CORONA
MUNICIPAL CODE TO AUTHORIZE ONE 180-DAY

EXTENSION FOR SPECIAL USE PERMITS ISSUED FOR

TEMPORARY STRUCTURES OR TRAILERS

ASSOCIATED WITH THE REMODEL OR EXPANSION OF

COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT
(ZTA2026-0003).

WHEREAS, Article XI, § 7 of the California Constitution authorizes cities to make and enforce, within their jurisdictional limits, ordinances and regulations not in conflict with general laws to protect and promote the public health, safety, and welfare of its citizens; and WHEREAS, Section 17.98.030 of the Corona Municipal Code (“CMC”) identifies the uses that require a special use permit and sets forth the criteria and process for approval of a special use permit by the Board of Zoning Adjustment; and WHEREAS, on September 9, 2026, the Planning and Housing Commission of the City of Corona (“Planning Commission”) conducted a duly noticed public hearing and recommended that the City Council amend Section 17.98.030 (Special Use Permits) of Chapter

17.98 (Board of Zoning Adjustment and Special Use Permits) of Title 17 (Zoning) of the CMC to authorize one extension for up to 180 days each for special use permits issued for temporary structures or trailers associated with the remodel or expansion of commercial or industrial development (ZTA2026-0003) (“Zone Text Amendment”); and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission based its recommendation to adopt the Zone Text Amendment on the findings set forth below; and WHEREAS, on October 7, 2026, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing at which all persons wishing to testify in connection with this Zone Text Amendment were heard and the Zone Text Amendment was comprehensively reviewed.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CORONA DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. CEQA Findings. As the decision-making body for this Zone Text Amendment, the City Council finds that 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 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 Item 8.1

Page 329 of 410 ends

2 question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This action involves minor changes to the text of the Zoning Code to allow for extensions of special use permits issued for temporary structures or trailers associated with the remodel or expansion of commercial or industrial development. This action involves no physical impacts and does not modify density or capacity. As such, there is no possibility that adopting this Ordinance will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

SECTION 2. Zoning Findings. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all written and oral evidence presented to the City Council, the City Council hereby makes and adopts the following findings:

A. The proposed Zone Text Amendment is consistent with the General Plan for the following reason:
(i) ZTA2026-0003 is consistent with General Plan Economic Development Policies ED-1.2 and E.D.-1.5 in that it would facilitate both improvements (including remodel and expansion) to existing businesses as well as their continued, successful operation.

B. The proposed Zone Text Amendment is consistent with Title 17 of the Corona Municipal Code for the following reason:
(i) Corona Municipal Code Section 17.98.030 currently permits the placement of temporary structures, storage containers, and trailers subject to the approval of a special use permit. The amendment proposed by ZTA2026-0003 would allow special use permits that were issued pursuant to the criteria set forth in Section 17.98.030 for temporary structures or trailers associated with the remodel or expansion of commercial or industrial development to be extended by up to 180 days, thereby facilitating successful buildout of approved development and thereafter, operation of permitted businesses.

C. The proposed Zone Text Amendment will provide for the public health, safety and welfare for the following reason:
(i) ZTA2026-0003 permits extensions of up to 180 days for previously approved special use permits for the placement of temporary structures, storage containers, and trailers during permitted remodel or expansion of existing commercial or industrial developments.

ZTA2026-0003 provides that the granting of an extension is discretionary, and would not be granted unless it is determined that a valid and active building permit is in effect and that construction is ongoing, thereby ensuring that ZTA2026-0003 will provide for the public health, safety and welfare.

Item 8.1

DATE: September 9, 2026
TO: Honorable Chair and Commissioners
FROM: Planning and Development Department
2026-053
APPLICATION REQUEST:

ZTA2026-0003: A Zone Text Amendment to Title 17, Section 17.98.030, of the Corona Municipal Code to grant up to two extensions for Special Use Permits approved for temporary placement of structures or trailers associated with permitted improvements to existing businesses. (Applicant: City of Corona, 400 South Vicentia Avenue, Corona, CA 92882)
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the Planning and Housing Commission recommend APPROVAL of ZTA2026-0003 to the City Council, based on the findings contained in this staff report.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Businesses undergoing remodel or expansion frequently wish to continue operating during construction rather than temporarily shut down and disrupt services or sales. To facilitate these requests, Section 17.98.030 of the Corona Municipal Code (CMC) allows for issuance of a Special Use Permit (SUP) to temporarily place temporary structures, trailers or storage containers on commercial or industrial zoned lots for a period not to exceed 180 days (six months) within a calendar year. As construction projects may exceed that timeframe to complete, a mechanism is needed to allow for extension of the SUP to facilitate continued, interim business operation. The requested Zone Text Amendment (ZTA) would allow the Planning Director to administratively grant up to two, 90-day extensions to the original approval, for a total of 180 additional days within a calendar year. Section 17.98.030 also Item 8.1

Page 338 of 410 ends

contains inconsistent and redundant language, and so the requested ZTA would further serve as a “clean up” by amending or removing language as detailed herein.

BACKGROUND
The remodel or expansion of an existing commercial or industrial building can take many months, resulting in a disruption of services or sales and potential loss of revenue should the business close during construction. To facilitate continued interim operation, businesses frequently seek the temporary onsite placement of structures (e.g., storage containers, trailers containing offices, sales area and/or restroom facilities). CMC Section

17.98.030(A)(1)(e) requires that a Special Use Permit (SUP) be approved by the City’s Board of Zoning Adjustment to allow the temporary onsite placement of structures for up to 180 days within a single calendar year. For example, a local Kia dealership is presently undergoing demolition and reconstruction of its showroom and a remodel of its office, customer lounge and service spaces. The dealership obtained an SUP to place several trailers onsite to serve as a temporary dealership allowing them to continue sales and service during construction.

Should construction activities extend longer than 180 days to complete, a mechanism to allow for reasonable extension of an SUP’s expiration is needed in order to avoid interruptions to the operation of permitted businesses, undue cost to those businesses that would otherwise be compelled to remove trailers prior to completion of permitted remodels/expansion, and/or the potential for Code Compliance enforcement actions. The requested ZTA would amend CMC Section 17.98.030 to allow the Planning Director the discretionary authority to grant up to two, 90-day extensions to the original approval, for a total of 180 additional days within a single calendar year. Notably, the proposed amendment would not allow for extensions to SUPs granted for other uses listed in CMC Section

17.98.030(A)(2), rather only for those related to temporary placement of structures, storage containers, or trailers, with the intent of facilitating continued operation of a business on commercial or industrial zoned property during a permitted remodel or expansion.

Finally, CMC Sections 17.98.030(A)(1)(e) and 17.98.030(A)(2)(e) contain conflicting information, with the former section citing the maximum permissible time for placement of “temporary structures or trailers” to be 180 days in a calendar year (with approval of an SUP), and the latter stating the limit to be 90 days. The 90-day limit is likely a minor typo inadvertently included with original adoption of the ordinance. As the references are both in conflict and duplicative, staff accordingly proposes that Section 17.98.030(A)(1)(e) be revised to remove the 180-day limit and Section 17.98.030(A)(2)(e) revised to state the correct “180 days” limit for placement of temporary structures and trailers.

A request for extension shall be submitted in writing to the Planning Division at least seven business days in advance of the initial expiration date for the special use permit.

PUBLIC NOTICE AND COMMENTS
A 10-day public notice was advertised in the Sentinel Weekly News.

As of the preparation of this report, no correspondence has been received from the public concerning the subject project.

STAFF ANALYSIS
Remodel and expansion projects for commercial or industrial developments can take many months to complete following issuance of a building permit, resulting in a potential loss of revenue should the business close during the whole of construction. The SUP review and approval process prescribed by Section 17.98.030 of the CMC attempts to address this common challenge but as written, does not prescribe an adequate time limit to accommodate the majority of projects. To facilitate continued interim operation during construction, the proposed zone text amendment would provide the Planning Director the discretionary option to grant up to two extensions totaling an additional 180 calendar days and thereby allow businesses undergoing permitted construction to avoid interruptions to their operation, undue cost should they otherwise be compelled to remove trailers prior to completion of construction, and/or the potential for Code Compliance enforcement action.

Finally, proposed text revisions would remove inconsistent and redundant language, thereby making the requirements of the referenced CMC section clearer and more concise.

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF ZTA2026-0003

1. Pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Section 3.06 of the City’s Local Guidelines for Implementing CEQA, a project is exempt if the activity is covered by the “commonsense” exemption which states 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 involves minor text changes to the Zoning Code that would not in and of themselves result in a physical Item 8.1

Page 344 of 410 ends

change to the environment, and accordingly there is no possibility that the amendment will have a significant effect on the environment.

2. ZTA2026-0003 is consistent with the General Plan for the following reasons:
a. ZTA2026-0003 is consistent with the following General Plan Economic Development Element Policies in that it would facilitate both improvements (including remodel and expansion) to existing businesses as well as their continued, successful operation.
i. ED-1.2: Encourage the expansion of existing businesses in Corona if possible and extend efforts at business retention.
ii. ED-1.5: Facilitate the retention and expansion of existing jobsgenerating industries within existing and planned industrial areas to allow such industries to remain in Corona.

3. ZTA2026-0003 is consistent with the intent of Title 17 of the Corona Municipal Code for the following reason:
a. Title 17 of the Corona Municipal Code and therein, Section 17.98.030, currently permits the approval of Special Use Permits for placement of temporary structures, storage containers, and trailers when specific criteria are met. The amendment proposed by ZTA2026-0003 would allow for extensions to SUPs that have been previously reviewed and approved in support of active building permits, thereby facilitating successful and compliant buildout of approved development and thereafter, operation of permitted businesses.

4. The proposed amendment will provide for the public health, safety, and welfare for the following reason:
a. ZTA2026-0003 permits extensions to previously approved SUPs for placement of temporary structures, storage containers, and trailers during permitted remodel or expansion of existing commercial or industrial developments. In accordance with the language included with the amendment, the granting of an extension would be discretionary, and would not be granted unless it is determined that a valid and active building permit is in effect and that construction is ongoing, thereby ensuring that the extension would provide for the public health, safety and welfare.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:
2027-2032 CITYWIDE STRATEGIC PLAN UPDATE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This staff report asks City Council to confirm the process and timeline for updating the City’s Strategic Plan, ensuring the updated plan is reflective of the evolving needs and priorities of the Corona community.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council confirm the process and timeline for developing an updated Strategic Plan, including robust community and stakeholder engagement, and return to the City Council with a draft plan for review and consideration prior to adoption.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

The 2021–2026 Strategic Plan established a citywide framework for long-term decisionmaking, resource allocation, and performance measurement, developed through extensive engagement with residents, business leaders, community organizations, and City staff.

The purpose of establishing a formal strategic plan is based on the recognition that Corona, like many growing municipalities, faces increasingly complex challenges related to financial sustainability, infrastructure maintenance, economic development, public Item 9.1

Page 356 of 410 ends

safety, and community identity. Prior to 2021, the City relied on departmental level plans, master plans, and ad hoc surveys to guide its activities, an approach that sometimes led to fragmented efforts and limited transparency about progress on key initiatives.

In response, the City Council initiated a structured planning process in August 2020, including public workshops, interviews, and public outreach via community surveys. The resulting plan articulated a unified vision, purpose, and set of values for the City, and established six overarching strategic goals to address the most pressing needs and priorities identified by the community.

Throughout the Strategic Plan’s implementation, the City has published quarterly progress reports, set annual goals, integrated strategic objectives into departmental work plans and budget cycles, and maintained a complete dashboard reporting out on progress on the City’s website. This approach has enabled proactive responses to emerging challenges, demonstrated transparency and measurable progress towards stated goals, and achieved remarkable results. To date, approximately 79% of the 2021-2026 Strategic Plan initiatives have been completed, with an additional 10% on track to be completed by year end, and 11% with work underway.

ANALYSIS:

The Strategic Plan update is closely aligned with other adopted plans that advance specific objectives under the Council’s established strategic goals. The City’s bestpractice approach emphasizes data-informed analysis, regular progress reporting, and alignment of departmental work plans and budgets with strategic objectives. This ensures that the updated plan promotes transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement in response to emerging community needs.

Community outreach is anticipated to begin in early October, starting with a community survey aimed at identifying and understanding residents’ concerns, top-of-mind issues, and priorities. Available in both English and Spanish, the survey will be an integral component of ensuring a broad cross-section of the community has a voice and input into the future of the city.

Community outreach will also include direct emails to residents and stakeholders, as well as QR codes posted at City facilities to provide easy access to the survey. In addition, there will be social media promotion across all City platforms, and a community workshop will be held in mid-November for in-person conversations and input. Once a draft plan has been assembled, it will be posted online for additional discussion, vetting, and feedback.

As the 2021-2026 Strategic Plan approaches its conclusion, the forthcoming updated plan will built upon this foundation of community engagement, strong data analysis, transparency, and Council leadership, ensuring that the next strategic plan continues to reflect the aspirations and priorities of the Corona community.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Item 9.1

Page 357 of 410 ends

Funding for activities associated with the Strategic Plan update will be supported through existing budget and staff. No additional funding is being requested. Projects and initiatives proposed in the final plan will be identified and allocated through the City’s annual budget process, consistent with the City’s practice of aligning resources to Council-adopted priorities. Any significant new initiatives or capital projects identified in the updated plan will be brought forward as separate Council items, with detailed cost estimates and funding sources specified at that time, ensuring fiscal implications are fully vetted and funding decisions remain responsive to changing economic conditions and community needs.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

This action is exempt under 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 substantially affect the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This action seeks direction from the Council regarding drafting a strategic plan update and thus has no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

CITY OF CORONA, CALIFORNIA
Dear Corona Residents,
A strong strategic plan is like a good roadmap—it identifies a destination and lays out a clear path to get there. After a robust six-month planning process, we are pleased to present the City of Corona’s Strategic Plan for 2021-2026.

This Plan sets a course of action for the next five years by establishing priority goals for our City, outlining actions to effectively achieve those goals, and setting up a framework to report our progress to the public.

Residents and other City stakeholders helped to shape this plan by participating in interviews, open houses, online surveys, and public comment on the plan draft. Over 1,000 members of our community shared their voices, and we are extremely grateful for their engagement in this work.

The planning process aimed to balance and prioritize the many issues that were identified as critical needs for the City. While this plan is the first step, the real work begins today as we work to partner with you to turn this roadmap into a reality. Together, we can envision a bright future for Corona and create a community where everyone can thrive. Thank you for your support while we continue this journey together.

Why Do Strategic Planning?
▷ Long Term Direction - A Strategic Plan helps us figure out where we are, where we want to go, and how to get there. ▷ Organizational Focus - We are busy balancing many competing demands all the time. The strategic plan helps focus our attention on the things that matter most.
▷ Better Budgeting - Funding decisions and projects will be better aligned with the City’s goals and objectives. ▷ Improved Decision Making - The Council and staff benefit from seeing the “big picture” when faced with significant long-term decisions.

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

Name: Jacque Casillas
Date: 9/30/26
Title Name/Topic: Review of Cannabis tax in Corona compared to county Background

1. What is the purpose of the request, i.e. what are you trying to achieve or do? It has been two years since the last analysis of the cannabis tax within the city of Corona.

The industry has changed a lot in two years, and I would like to better understand what the tax burden on cannabis businesses in Corona is compared to county cannabis businesses.

2. What is the scope of the work you wish to see done?
Research and gather the tax rates for cannabis businesses in and around Corona on both city and county jurisdiction. Analyze the data in order to get the most accurate “apples-to-apples” comparison of rates. Determine if there is a clear difference between city and county rates and present findings to the city council for further discussion and next steps.

3. Does this request align with the City’s Strategic Plan? How? Yes - Strong Economy: expand the local economy by supporting local businesses.

4. What is the desired timeline to have the issue considered by Council? At the team’s first availability. I understand an analysis like this can take time.

5. Is the issue urgent requiring action before the next priority setting session of Council (Fall Policy Workshop)?
No
