STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Discovery Builders, Inc. requests to amend the Zoning Ordinance to accommodate their development request for a new 6­unit subdivision, Brighton Place.

DISCUSSION
Background:On March 9, 2022, the Planning Commission approved Resolution PC2022­03 approving the Tentative Subdivision Map and Development Review applications for Discovery Builders, Inc. to construct a 6­unit subdivision consisting of 2 attached duets and 2 detached homes at the northeast corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and Brighton Drive. During the commission hearing, the commissioners unanimously voted to include additional project conditions to support the general welfare of the community. The conditions included enhanced bio­retention basins, adequate waste toter­style cart space, 24­inch box nursery­sized trees, a community fence/wall plan, and a homeowners or private association to be formed. In addition to the above­mentioned entitlements, Resolution PC2022­03 recommends City Council approve the proposed zone change.

For the purpose of calculating residential density, the City’s Zoning Ordinance states that Gross Developable Acreage shall be considered. Gross Developable Acreage includes the project site and areas of the right­of­way extending to the centerline of local and collector streets. The proposed project’s Gross Developable Acreage is .98­acres.

The project site’s current RLM:6 zoning designation allows for the development of 4.5 to 5 dwelling units per acre. Therefore, the project site may currently develop a total of 5 dwelling units. The RLM zoning designation allows for the development of 4.5 to 8 dwelling units per acre. Under an RLM zoning designation, the project site may develop up to 7 dwelling units and the project proposal would be consistent with density and development regulations.

Environmental Analysis: The proposed zone change is not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Senate Bill SB­10, Government Code Section 65913.5, which authorizes a local government to adopt an ordinance to zone any parcel for up to 10 units of residential density per parcel if the parcel is an urban infill site. Section 65913.5(a)(4)(A) specifies that an ordinance adopted under these provisions is not a “project” for purposes of the CEQA.

necessary utilities and services such as water, sewer, and power are provided to the site. Additionally, the project will be developed to specific Zoning Ordinance standards and conditions to ensure that the architectural design, site improvements, and landscaping are compatible with surrounding developments.

Together the design features and Project conditions will ensure that the Project will not cause this residential area to decline economically, physically, or visually.

C. The site is physically suitable (including, but not limited to access, provision of utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and absence of physical constraints) for the requested zoning designations and anticipated land uses/developments. The site is physically suitable for the proposed Project. As designed and conditioned the Project consists of proposed streets and all necessary utilities and services such as water, sewer, and power. The proposed low-medium density development is appropriate near existing residential and public services in the vicinity.

D. The proposed amendment is in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The proposed amendment is not subject to review under CEQA, pursuant to Government Code Section 65913.5, which authorizes a local government to adopt an ordinance to zone any parcel for up to 10 units of residential density per parcel if the parcel is an urban infill site. Section 65913.5(a)(4)(A) specifies that an ordinance adopted under these provisions is not a “project” for purposes of the CEQA. Further, the proposed project is exempt under Class 32, which consists of projects characterized as “in-fill” development that meet the conditions described in Section 15332 (In-Fill Development Projects) of the CEQA Guidelines. Class 32 projects have the following characteristics: 1)the project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations; 2) the proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses; 3) the project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species; and 4) approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.

SECTION 2. Pursuant to Senate Bill 10 (SB-10), codified at Section 65913.5 of the Government Code, the council finds as follows:

A. This ordinance is adopted pursuant to Government Code Section 65913.5.

B. The increased density authorized by the proposed amendment is consistent with the City’s obligation under Government Code Section 8899.50 to administer its activities and programs relating to housing and community development in a manner to affirmatively further fair housing. The proposed project, if approved, Packet Page 287 of 305Attachment 1 Page 2 of 4

ORD. NO. 2022-08

rezones the subject site from RLM:6 to RLM. The RLM zoning designation allows for a higher density per acre development. At an RLM designation, the project site supports a variety of housing product types, such as the proposed attached single- family units. Therefore, the proposed amendment is consistent with the City’s obligation to affirmatively further fair housing by addressing disparities in housing needs and in access to opportunity.

C. The proposed amendment would zone a parcel for up to 10 units of residential density per parcel, at a height specified in the ordinance. The proposed amendment rezones the subject site to RLM, where a density of 8 units an acre is permitted by right. Consistent with the City’s Zoning Ordinance development regulations for the RLM district, the site would be permitted to be developed at a maximum of 35 feet in height consistent with the City’s Zoning Ordinance development regulations.

D. The project site is located in either a transit-rich area or an urban infill site, as defined by SB-10. The project site is located in an urban infill site, in that it is within the City’s jurisdiction, which is designated as an urbanized area by the U.S. Census Bureau, and at least 75% of the site perimeter is adjoined by urban uses.

SECTION 3. A summary of this ordinance shall be printed and published twice in the Daily Republic, a newspaper of general circulation, printed and published in the City of Fairfield.

SECTION 4. This ordinance shall be effective 30 days following its adoption by the council. A summary of this ordinance shall, within 15 days after passage, be published in accordance with Section 36933 of the Government Code of the State of California with the names of the councilmembers voting for and against it.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF FAIRFIELD HEREBY RECITES, FINDS, DETERMINES, ORDERS, AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. On July 28, 2021, a Tentative Subdivision (TS2021-003), Minor Development Review (DR2021-009), Zone Change (ZC2021-001), and Environmental Review (ER2021-030) to subdivide and develop a ±0.68-acre site into 6 single-family lots as the northeast corner of Brighton Drive and Pennsylvania Avenue. The “Project” was properly filed with the Community Development Department in accordance with the rules and regulations governing the official filing of such applications.

SECTION 2. The Planning Commission has held a duly noticed public hearing on March 9, 2022.

The City staff presented substantial factual information regarding the proposed Project in staff reports and through oral presentations before the commission, and the commission considered all public testimony and information presented during the public hearing regarding this application.

SECTION 3. The commission adopts the following findings in support of this Tentative Subdivision Map request:
(a) The proposed subdivision, together with the provision for its design and improvement, is consistent with the City's General Plan in that the General Plan designates the area for Residential Low Medium (RLM) development. The proposed land use, in contingency upon approval of the Zone Change, would be consistent with the RLM General Plan land use designation and consistent with the Zoning classification. Furthermore, the project is compatible with the following multiple General Plan objectives and policies: Objective HO 1: Provide for varied housing opportunities, in terms of type, price, amenities, neighborhood design, and location, for all income groups and family types; Objective HO 2: Encourage infill housing in developed areas of the City; Objective HO 8: Promote energy conservation. Implement state energy conservation standards. Encourage energy- conserving development patterns; Policy LU 1.1: Only allow development that is consistent Packet Page 291 of 305Attachment 3 Page 1 of 15

with the Land Use Diagram and the Land Use Category definitions; Objective LU 8: Develop and maintain a pattern of residential land uses which provides for a variety and balance of densities and opportunities for a mixture of different dwelling and tenure types; Policy LU 18.1: Utilize land within the existing city limits as efficiently as possible, allowing for a wider variety of housing types and densities within the same zone district, and economical use of public services and infrastructure; Objective LU 18: Encourage infill development and compact growth; Objective UD 4: Ensure high standards of quality in development; Objective UD 6: Utilize extensive landscaping to beautify Fairfield's urban areas. (b} T he site is physically su itable fo r the type an d pro posed density of developm ent and, w ith pro p e r de ve lo p m e nt techn iqu es, m ay be developed into its intended use. The site is physically suitable for the proposed Project. As designed and conditioned the Project consists of proposed streets and all necessary utilities and services such as water, sewer, and power. The proposed low-medium density development is appropriate near existing residential and public services in the vicinity.
(c} T he de sig n of th e sub d ivision or pro posed im pro vem ents are not likely to cause su b stantial env iro n m e ntal dam ag e an d w ill no t substantially and avoidably injure fish or w ild life of th e ir habitat. The proposed project is not subject to review under CEQA, pursuant to Government Code Section 65913.SL which authorizes a local government to adopt an ordinance to zone any parcel for up to 10 units of residential density per parcel if the parcel is an urban infill site. Section 65913.5(a)(4)(A) specifies that an ordinance adopted under these provisions is not a "project" for purposes of the CEQA. Further, the proposed project is exempt under Class 32, which consists of projects characterized as "in- fill" development that meet the conditions described in Section 15332 {In-Fill Development Projects) of the CEQA Guidelines. Class 32 projects have the following characteristics:
l}the project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations; 2) the proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses; 3} the project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species; and 4) approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.

the proposed project would not cross over or conflict with any existing easements for public access.
(f) The discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into the community sewer serving said pro posed subdivision will not result in or add to a violation of the waste discharge requirements applicable to said sewer system which were prescribed by the Califo rnia Regional Water Quality Contro l Board, San Francisco Bay Region, in that the existing Fairfield Suisun Sewer District treatment plant has adequate capacity. The discharge from the proposed project will not create a condition exceeding the design capacity of this plant.

The project is subject to several requirements that will ensure that it does not bear an adverse impact on water quality.

in quality to existing single-family projects in Fairfield. As designed and conditioned, the project would provide architectural diversity achieved through the use of trim elements, offsets within the wall planes, pop-out projections, varied roof heights and rooflines, window treatments and sizing, porch features, construction materials, and color schemes. Overall, the plans' architectural detailing and visual interest provide substantial character to the project.

Landscaping: The applicant submitted a conceptual landscape plan depicting project interior lot landscaping and public right-of-way landscaping to be planted along the subdivision entrance off Brighton Drive and along Pennsylvania Avenue. Project planting would also consist of front yard trees and shrubs. Little Leaf Linden and Eastern Redbud trees are proposed as accent and shade trees throughout the subdivision and along public right-of-ways abutting Pennsylvania Avenue and Brighton Drive. Both tree species are common and appropriate for the Fairfield area and would provide vibrant changing leaf colors in the fall. Due to the species' size and slow growth, a condition has been included that these trees be planted at a larger size, 24-inch box. Although the conceptual plan only specifically outlines tree locations, the proposed plant pallet provides a variety of ground cover and shrub plant species. The applicant must submit formal landscape plans to the City prior to building permit issuance. Plans will be subject to the review and approval of the Community Development Department.

The preliminary plans do not identify specific stormwater quality treatment areas.

Therefore, project conditions require that the applicant submit a revised Site Plan to the City showing the location of the stormwater quality treatment areas and an updated Landscape Plan showing the bio-retention basin to be aesthetically enhanced with planted shrubs/groundcover, perennial herbaceous species, and rounded aggregate such as 'river rock.'
Site Improvements: The project consists of a private, gated-entry interior driveway and utilities necessary to serve the development. As proposed and conditioned, the project will establish an HOA or property owners' association to own and maintain the following private improvements:
• Common Landscaping and Irrigation Improvements
• Roadways and Fencing
• Development Signs and Entry Features
• Private Water, Sewer, Storm Drain Lines, and bio-retention facilities • Streetlights
• Privately-owned utility lines
The City's Public Works Department has a collection of Pennsylvania Avenue frontage conditions to ensure the project's public improvements meet City standards.

Furthermore, coordination with the Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District and PG&E is conditioned to address outside organization requirements adequately.

D. Env iro n m e ntal Re view : Follow ing a review of the project, staff has determ ined that it is exe m p t fr om th e req u irem ents of th e Califo rn ia Enviro nm ental Q uality Act (CEQ A). Under C E QA , th e State has id e ntifi ed a list of cl asses of pro jects, w hich have been determ ined no t to have a sig n ifi cant eff ect on the enviro nm ent and are therefo re exem pt from the req uirem e nts of C EQ A as a result. The pro po sed project is exem pt under Class 32, w hich co n sists of pro je cts characte rized as "in-fi ll" developm ent that m eet the conditions de scribe d in Se ction 15 33 2 (In -Fill Developm ent Pro jects). Cl ass 32 pro jects have the fo llow in g ch aracte ristics: 1) the pro ject is consistent w ith the applicable general plan de signatio n an d all applicable general plan policies as w ell as w ith applicable zo ning de sig n ation an d reg ulations; 2) the pro po sed developm ent occurs w ithin city lim its on a pro je ct site of no m ore than five acres substantially surro unded by urban uses; 3) the pro je ct site ha s no value as habitat fo r end angered, rare or threatened speci es; and 4) ap pro val of th e pro je ct w ou ld no t result in any significant eff ects relating to traffi c, noise, air qu a lity, o r w ate r qu ality.

Lastly, pu rsu an t to State-ad opted Senate Bill SB-10, the pro ject is not subject to further C E Q A an alysis. The bill authorizes a lo cal govern m ent to adopt an ordinance to zo ne any parce l fo r up to 10 un its of resid e ntial density per parcel if the parcel is an urban infil l site.

T he bill sp ecifi e s th at an ord in an ce ad opted under these pro visions is not a pro ject fo r pu rpose s of th e C EQ A .
