Agenda Report
Agenda Item 13.

DATE: December 13, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Noah Alvey, Deputy Director of Community Development SUBJECT: Zoning Code Update
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council:

Opens the Public Hearing and receives testimony;1.

Closes the Public Hearing;2.

Moves to adopt the next Resolution, in order, approving the California Environmental Quality Act exemption; and

3. Moves to introduce for first reading the next Ordinance, in order, approving Zoning Code Amendment No. 2022-0002.

4. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Each year, staff identifies potential technical cleanups during their routine administration of the Zoning Code. A list of cleanups, clarifications and revisions are then brought forward as an amendment to Title 17. The 2022 Zoning Code Update is primarily related to economic development and implementation of the General Plan Housing Element, including recent housing-related State laws. Other minor, non-substantive changes are also included to improve clarity and consistency in the interpretation of the Zoning Code.

BACKGROUND:

The Zoning Code was comprehensively revised and reorganized in 2010. Since then, substantive changes and minor technical clean-ups have occurred. Typically, Zoning Code updates are completed on an annual basis at the end of each calendar year. On November 15, 2022, the Planning Commission received the planned scope of work for this update. At that meeting, the Commissioners discussed basic economic development initiatives and housing-related changes that were anticipated.

DISCUSSION
The proposed Zoning Code changes are summarized as follows:

Economic Development
Staff have received inquiries related to alternative fuel vehicles, including servicing vehicles, which are primarily related to diagnostic and computer activities. The Zoning Code does not define or establish separate requirements for these types of vehicles; therefore, staff has proposed amending the land use table to include alternative fuel vehicles with other auto sales uses and to allow vehicle storage, sales, delivery, service, and repair on industrial properties uses and to allow vehicle storage, sales, delivery, service, and repair on industrial properties greater than 20 acres in size. This proposed change aligns with internet-based contemporary business models for this type of use.

A new Zoning Code chapter is proposed to allow development agreements and is intended to be an alternative process to accommodate major and unique developments for residential, commercial, professional, or other similar activities, including combinations of uses and modified development standards. Furthermore, development agreements will provide assurances of consistent application of the Zoning Code to their projects to land developers, which will reduce the economic risks of a project while providing the City with a flexible means of promoting comprehensive planning and orderly development.

In conjunction with City Council economic development strategies, an opportunity has been identified to update the Zoning Code to add a definition for biomedical offices and make clear these uses are permitted in commercial and industrial zones. The definition clarifies that these office uses include medical, technological, or biological research, analysis, and production that can operate compatibly near residential uses.

Housing
State law requires that Housing Elements address and, where appropriate and legally possible, remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing. The 2021-2029 Housing Element update identified the following governmental constraints to the development or maintenance of housing in El Cajon, and Program 14 identified the following Zoning Code updates to be completed within one year, which are included in the proposed Zoning Code update:

Emergency Shelters (AB 139): Establish parking requirements based on staffing level only.

Low Barrier Navigation Centers (AB 101): Allow by right in areas zoned for mixed uses and nonresidential zones permitting multifamily uses if they meet specified requirements.

Transitional and Supportive Housing (SB 745, AB 2162): Allow these residential uses in all zones where residential is allowed.

Density Bonus (AB 1763): Change requirements to reference State Law.

Residential Care Facilities for Seven or More Persons (AB 846): Permit large residential care facilities by right in zones where residential uses are permitted.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs): Update ADU requirements to align with recent State laws.

Update Development Standards and Establish Objective Design Standards (SB 330):

Update residential development standards to further facilitate infill residential development and incorporate objective design standards.

The housing-related updates also include new development standards and procedures for urban lot splits as required by SB 9, which was signed by Governor Newsom in 2021.

Miscellaneous
The remaining items included in the Zoning Code update are other minor technical changes, revisions, and edits for clarity and consistency.

Add definitions for “High Quality Transit Corridor” and “Major Transit Stop” to align with State law requirements.

Allow a limited number of customers for home-based businesses for music lessons and/or academic tutoring.

PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:

The Planning Commission public hearing is scheduled for December 6, 2022. This report has been prepared in advance of the Planning Commission public hearing. Information regarding public testimony and the recommendation of the Planning Commission will be conveyed to the City Council through the staff presentation at the City Council public hearing.

FINDINGS:

The proposed zoning amendment, including any changes proposed in the various land uses to be authorized, is compatible with the objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs specified in the general plan.

A.

The proposed changes to the Zoning Code further the goals of the General Plan by implementing reforms to reduce governmental constraints to development.

Further, pursuant to Goal 10, the City “shall periodically revise its regulatory codes, ordinances and policies so that they may reflect current, upgraded standards of development and performance.” The proposed changes ensure clarity and eliminate existing ambiguities within the Zoning Code.

The proposed zoning amendment is consistent with any applicable specific plan governing development of the subject property.

B.

The proposed zoning code amendment is applicable citywide. No zoning changes are proposed as part of this project, and thus the proposed changes do not conflict with specific plans.

It is in the public necessity and convenience and/or general welfare that the zoning regulations governing the property be changed.

C.

The proposed zoning code amendment is applicable citywide and is not property-specific. Further, the proposed changes provide clarity, consistency, objective standards for new development, and help streamline development review processes in accordance with State law.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The proposed Zoning Code Amendment is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) according to the common sense exemption (CEQA Guidelines, section 15061(b)(3)). The common sense exemption applies 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 proposed amendment does not result in any development or changes to the physical environment and does not raise this project to a level of significance that warrants CEQA analysis.

•

PUBLIC NOTICE & INPUT:

Notice of this public hearing was published in the East County Gazette on November 17, 2022 in compliance with Government Code sections 65090, 65091, and 65092, as applicable.

Additionally, as a public service, the notice was posted in the kiosk at City Hall and on the City’s website under “Public Hearings/Public Notices.” The notice was also mailed to the two public libraries in the City of El Cajon, located at 201 East Douglas Avenue and 576 Garfield Avenue.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of Zoning Code Amendment No. 2022-0002 for economic development, housing, and minor technical changes, revisions, and edits for clarity and consistency.

Introduction
Fiscal 2022/23 PBID Improvements and Activities Plan
El Cajon PBID Management District Plan
As determined by the Downtown El Cajon Business Partners Management Plan for the existing district, the top priorities for improvements and activities within the El Cajon PBID are Environmental and Economic Enhancements. Based upon this finding , the following improvements and activities were performed and provided in the current fiscal year.

All of the services and activities detailed below are provided only within the boundaries of the PBID and provide special benefit to the properties in the boundary area (see attachment A:

PBID Boundary Map). All benefits derived from the assessments outlined in this Management District Plan go only for services directly benefiting the prope rties in the PBID to increase commerce and fulfill the goals and objectives of the PBID.

ENVIRONMENTAL ENHANCEMENTS
Clean and Safe: These services continue to be the top priority of the stakeholders. The Downtown El Cajon Business Partners has initiated an excellent program that provides a clean environment but also eliminates graffiti and manag es the homeless and transient populations.

The 2022/23 Plan for Clean and Safe;
Deployment and Visibility of Staff
We have developed and deployed a tea m that cleans Monday through Friday throughout the district and is power washing sidewalks and park area. The clean team has a Team member that is also responsible for identifying homeless, graffiti and safety issues in the district and either responds directly or reports to the graffiti online application or the police department for resolution of the issue.

District split into premium and standard zones will remain the same The downtown core (the Premium Zone), those parcels fronting Main and Magnolia are receiving more intense and frequent service delivery where the demand is greater. The remaining parcels in the district (the Standard Zone) do not require the same level of service intensity and frequency as the downtown core.

Deployment of District Security Officers:

Due to the extent of the of the homeless issue tha t we encoun tered we found tha t interacting in a significant way with the El Cajon Police Department was the best way to provide the highe st level of security to our district. This program has resulted in a safer and more secure Downtown area and garnered a high level of coope ration and proactivity to the benefit of the district. We have continued private security patrol seven nights a week from 1 Opm until 6am.

Promotion of Services - Equipment, shirts, vests and collateral material promote the Clean and Safe program currently. We will continue to send regular email commu nications to stakeholders promoting accomplishments and activities, once we have created a comprehensive email data base.

Beautification: Through the Clean & Safe Program, Downtown El Cajon Business Partners has improved the aesthetics of the downtown area by reducing graffiti, cleaning streets, and working effectively with law enforcement to reduce the public nuisance. We have also installed stringer lights to improve the night time aesthetics of the Downtown area. The colored light bulbs are changed four times per year to reflect the season. During the holidays we install wreaths that hang from the light poles and a 35 foot Christmas tree at the corner of Main St and Magnolia Ave. This year a permanent stage was constructed in The Promenade.

ECONOMIC ENHANCEMENTS
A comprehensive economic development program is included as a key componen t of the downtown PBID, to proactively work on filling office and retail vacancies with targeted businesses, combat the c hallenges associated with a prolonged economic downtown, compete with other commercial districts, and bring more visitors and shoppers to Downtown El Cajon.

Business Retention and Recruitment: The PBID will provide on an as-needed basis services for locating open office spaces or buildings for new businesses to lease or purchase and assistance with dealing with the City of El Cajon.

Special Events: The Special Events budget is reserved for opportunities to continue providing existing events downtown, (e.g. the Cajon Classic Cruise or Dinner & a Concert, Holiday Lights on Main), or to contribu te to additional events like HauntFest on Main, America on Main and the Mother Goose Parade. These special events improve commerce by drawing people downtown and introducing them to opportunities to dine, shop, or engage in commerce.
leadership and Policy: The PBID will provide advocacy for Downtown business interests and will help the business community to speak with one clear voice. The PBID Management Plan offers flexibility to develop programs and policies to improve the overall quality of life and economic and cultural vitality of Downtown El Cajon.

MANAGEMENT
We have hired promoter contractors for both the Cajon Classic Cruise and Dinner and a Conce rt on the Promenade. We also use a contracto r to administer the Clean and Safe program. Our managers spend a significant portion of their time producing events and also double as staff members not only managing the work but also crea ting , developing and monitoring the programs they manage. This minimizes administrative hours and ensures the lowe st admin expense possible. The management team is responsible for providing the day-to-day operations of the PBID. PBID funds may be used to leverage additional monies from sponsorships, con tracts, grants and earned income. Additional administrative costs will include; accounting and annual financial audit, insurance, prog ram support costs including supplies, equ ipment and rent, County PBID assessment collection fee, estimated at 1 % of assessments, and other administration costs associated with the overhead and administrative support of programs.

A 10% reserve fund is also budgeted to provide a contingency for unforeseen program needs and to provide a cushion for assessment delinquencies.
2021 /22 Actual Expenses:

Services Expense
Environmental Enhancements $ 272 ,973
Economic Enhancements $ 302,150
Management $ 60,902
TOTAL Expenses $ 636,025
2022/23 Budget
For fiscal 2022/23 there will be no increase in the PBID assessment as allowed in the Downtown Management Plan. The services and allocations are outlined below.

Services Budget
Environmental Enhancements $ 245,000
Economic Enhancements $ 255,000
Management $ 55,000
Reserves $ 10,000
TOTAL BUDGET $ 565,000
Assessments: 2022/23 Annua l assessments are calcu lated based upon each property's specia l benefit received from the identified services and activities and their relative cost.

The assessments are based on lot square footage plus building square footage and whether they are in the Premium or Standard Zone. Properties with residential or non-profit ownership and uses will pay an adjusted rate. These parce ls benefit fully from the Environmen tal Enhancements but not from the Economic Enhancements. The assessment rates per foot for 2022/23 are as follows:

Annual Assessments: Assmt per SQ Foot
Premium Zone:

Commercial/Govt $0.084
Residential/Non-Profits $0.054
Standard Zone:

Commercial/Govt $0.067
Residential/Non-Profits $0.043
Collection: Assessments appear as a separate line item on the annual County of San Diego Property Tax bills and either paid in one lump sum or in two equal installments . As part of the collection process, the County retains 1 % of the assessment funds and the remaining 99% will be distributed to the PBID to provide services .

City Services: The City Council, by accepting this report , confirms its intention to ensure existing level of services in the district equiva lent to the level that is being provided elsewhere in the City.

OFFICE MANAGEll
Tnnya Davi s
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Downtown El Cajon Business Partners, Inc. (a California nonprofit organization), which comprise the statement of financial position as of June 30, 2022, and the related statements of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Downtown El Cajon Business Partners, Inc. as of June 30, 2022, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our responsibilities under those standards are fu1ther described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of om repo1t. We are required to be independent of Downtown El Cajon Business Partners, Inc. and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Downtown El Cajon Business Partners, lnc.'s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. :u:n Camino D1•l Hio Soulh I Suitt • 2:m I Sun Ih•go, CA IJ210B-:mo8 I P (619) 56:1-01115 I F (619) :i(i:J-9:i!M I W\\'\\ , ('\\~l ' jHl ,(' Otll Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than form one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Downtown El Cajon Business Partners, Inc.' internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. • Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Downtown El Cajon Business Partners, lnc.'s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

Report on Summarized Comparative Information
We have previously audited the Downtown El Cajon Business Partners, lnc.'s 2021 financial statements, and we expressed an unmodified opinion on those financial statements in our report dated September 22, 2021. In our opinion, the summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements from which it has been derived.

I. Downtown El Cajon Business Partners, Inc. dba Downtown El Cajon Promenade District ("The District") was incorporated under the laws of the State of California on May 16, 2011. The District has adopted a June 30 fiscal year end for reporting requirements.

The purpose of a PBID is to allow a group of real property owners to assess themselves additional property taxes that is to be used to provide specific benefits for the properties and businesses located within the assessment district.

The District is governed by a board of real property owners pursuant to Section 36650 and 36651 of the Streets and Highway Code of the State of California.

Financial Statement Presentation-The District reports information regarding its financial position and activities according to two classes of net assets; net assets without donor restrictions and net assets with donor restrictions.

Net Assets without Donor Restrictions-are part of the net assets that are not restricted by donor-imposed stipulations, and which are available, at the discretion of management and the Board of Directors for the District to utilize in any of its programs or supporting services.

Net Assets with Donor Restrictions-Net assets resulting from contributions and other inflows of assets whose use by the District is limited by donor-imposed stipulations that either expire by passage of time or can be fulfilled and removed by actions of the District pursuant to those stipulations.

NOTE A-NATURE OF ACTIVITIES AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-CON'T:

5. Cash & Cash Equivalents for purposes of the statement of cash flows, include cash on hand, cash in checking and savings accounts with banks. All short-term debt securities with a maturity of three months or less are considered cash equivalents.

6. Accounts Receivable consisted primarily of amounts due from the City of El Cajon. Management determined that all receivables at year end are collectable. No allowance for doubtful accounts was considered necessary at June 30, 2022 and 2021.

7. Revenue Recognition-Property Taxes represent assessments levied against property owners located within the district to provide the special benefits described in Note A2. The assessments are based on the square footage of the building and lots. The tax rates assessed are determined by the location of the real property within the district and the presumed benefits received, with those real properties receiving a greater benefit being charged a higher tax rate. Property tax revenue is recognized in the fiscal year that taxes are levied, provided that the taxes are received within 60 days of the end of the fiscal year. Property taxes received 60 days after year end or later are not considered available as a resource for the current year operations of the district and therefore are not recorded as revenue until collected. For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, all levied property taxes were received within 60 days of the fiscal year end.

In Lieu Property Tax Payments represent payments received from the City of El Cajon, the County of San Diego and other state and federal governmental agencies on real estate owned by these governmental bodies within the District and that are not normally assessed property taxes on properties owned. The District records as revenue in the fiscal year earned. Any payments received in advance are recorded as deferred revenue until earned.

Event Sponsorship represents revenues received from special event sponsors and are recognized when earned.

Fundraisers and Other Event revenues represent revenues received from fund raising and special events and are recogni zed when earned.

8. Concentration of Cash and Credit Risk-The District maintains deposits in financial institutions that at times may exceed the insured amount of $250,000 provided by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). At year end, the District's uninsured cash balance totaled $434,524.

9. Leases that meet the criteria for capitalization are classified as capital leases. As of yearend , there were no such leases. Leases that do not meet such criteria are classified as operating leases and related rentals are charged to expense (Note E).

NOTE A-NATURE OF ACTIVITIES AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-CON'T:

I 0. Property and Eguipment are recorded at cost, or if donated, at approximate value at the date of the gift. The District's policy is to capitalize fixed asset purchases in excess of $500. The straight line method of depreciation is followed for financial reporting purposes and for federal income tax purposes. Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of assets to operations over their estimated service lives or the lives of the respective leases, whichever is shorter.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense. Gains and losses on dispositions are credited or charged to earnings as incurred. Depreciation is provided at rates based on the following estimated useful lives:

I I.

12. 13.

14. Leasehold Improvements
Furniture and Equipment
39 years
3-7 years
Depreciation expense for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 totaled $14 ,041 and $13,772, respectively.

Advertising Costs-The District follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. The District incurred no advertising expenses for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Functional Allocation of Expenses-Costs to provide various activities and programs have been summarized on a functional basis in the statement of functional expenses. Direct costs are allocated to the activities that incurred the costs. General and other certain costs are allocated among the programs that received the benefits.

Contributed Services-During the year ended June 30, 2022, the value of contributed services meeting the requirements for recognition in the financial statements were not material and have not been recorded. In addition, many individuals volunteer their time and perform a variety of tasks that assist the district at its events, but these services do not meet the criteria for recognition as contributed services.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments-Financial Accounting Standards Board (F ASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures", defines fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity.

Cash and Cash Eguivalents, Accounts Receivable, Prepaid Expenses. Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities-The carrying amounts repo1ted on the statement of financial position for these items are a reasonable estimate of fair value.

In connection with its business activities, the District has non-profit directors, officers and entity liability coverage of $1,000,000.

NOTE F-DISTRICT RECERTIFICATION/SIGNIFICANT EVENTS:

The El Cajon City Council adopted a resolution for the recertification of the El Cajon Property and Business Improvement District. The duration of the recertification is 10 years beginning on January 1, 2017. In five years, the Downtown El Cajon Business Partners and downtown property owners will undertake a review of the Management District Plan and PBID programs. Any new or increased assessments that are not consistent with the provisions of the current Management District Plan will require a new mail ballot process.

Management has estimated recertification costs to be as much as $50,000, and is accruing $5,000 per year toward these costs.

NOTE G-FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

F ASB ASC Topic 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs). In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, the following summarizes the fair value hierarchy:

Level I Inputs- Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 Inputs- Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 Inputs-Inputs based on prices or valuation techniques that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurements.

F ASB ASC Topic 820 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
