Recommendation: Conduct a public hearing and upon conclusion recommend to the City Council approval of a Rezone to change the zoning forthe parcels located at 1000 East Natoma Street (currently split zoned R-1-ML (Residential, Single-Family Dwelling, Medium Lot District) and A-1-A (Agricultural-Reserve District)) and 1010 East Natoma Street (currently zoned A-1-A), to R-1-ML for both parcels, as illustrated on Attachment 5 based on the findings (Findings A-l) attached to this report.
Project Summary: The request is to rezone two parcels totaling approximately 4.3 acres at the northeast corner of East Natoma Street and Folsom Point Road from a split zone of R-1-ML and A-1-A for 1000 East Natoma Street, and A-1-A for 1010 East Natoma Street to R-1-ML for both parcels. This will make the zoning consistent with the parcels' Single (SF) Family General Plan designation and allow for the potential of a church use with a Conditional Use Permit. No site deveiopment is proposed as part of this request.

DESCRIPTION/ ANALYSIS
APPLICANT'S PROPOSAL
The applicant, David Koelpin, is requesting approval of a rezone for two parcels totaling approximately 4.3 acres at the northeast corner of East Natoma Street and Folsom Point Road from a split zone of R-1-ML and A-1-A for 1000 East Natoma Street, and A-1-A for 1010 East Natoma Street, to R-1-ML for both parcels. This will make the zoning consistent with the parcels' SF General Plan designation and allow for the potential of a church use with a Conditional Use Permit under Section 17.12.030 of the Folsom Municipal Code (FMC). No site development is proposed as part of this rezone request.
POLICY/RULE
Per the requirements of Government Code Section 65860, a city's zoning ordinances must be consistent with its general plan. lf a zoning ordinance is inconsistent with a general plan, the zoning ordinance should be amended within a reasonable time so that it is consistent with the general plan.
Folsom Municipal Code (FMC) Chapters 17.68.040 and 17.68.50 require that applications for rezones be fonrvarded to the City Council for final action with a recommendation from the Planning Commission.
ANALYSIS
Conformance with Relevant eral Plan Goals and Policies
The City of Folsom General Plan (2035) outlines a number of goals, policies, and implementation programs designed to guide the physical, economic, and environmental growth of the City. Staff has determined that the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan goals and policies as outlined and discussed below:
GP POLICY LU 1.1.1 (Zoning Ordinance)
Ensure that the Folsom Zoning Ordinance is consistent with the policies and programs of the General Plan.
Analvsis: The proposed project is consistent with this policy in that it includes rezoning the project site from R-1-ML and A-1-A to R-1-ML. The General Plan designation of SF allows tor 2 to 4 dwelling units per acre. The A-1-A zoning district requires a minimum lot size of 50 acres and restricts urban development. The R- 1-ML zoning district, in contrast, requires a minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet, which would allow up to four dwelling units per acre. Changing the zoning on the project site to R-1-ML both cleans up the error of two zoning designations on one lot and allows for the type of development density contemplated by the SF designation.

Planning Commission
1000 East Natoma Rezone to Residential (ZCAM24-00112)
May 15,2024
GP POUCY LU 6.1.1 (Complete Neighborhoods)
Encourage the establishment of "complete neighborhoods" that integrate schools, childcare centers, parks, shopping and employment centers, and other amenities.
Analvsis: The proposed project is consistent with this policy in that the project includes rezoning the project site from R-1-ML and A-1-A to R-1-ML. The uses permitted in the A-1-A zoning district are limited to agricultural and livestock grazing and accessory residential. The R-1-ML zoning district, in contrast, allows single-family residential uses by right and conditionally permits uses such as schools, golf courses, and churches that can serve as amenities to the surrounding residential neighborhoods. Changing the zoning on the project site to R-1-ML allows for the potentialfor a more "complete neighborhood" as encouraged by this General Plan policy.
General Plan and Zoninq Consistencv
The General Plan land use designation for the two parcels is SF (Single Family) and the zoning designations are R-1-ML and A-1-A for 1000 East Natoma Street, and A-1-A for 1010 East Natoma Street. The existing General Plan land use designation (SF) and the existing zoning designation of A-1-A are not consistent with each other as the SF General Plan land use designation is intended to provide opportunities for development of single- family detached homes and single-family attached homes, while the A-1-A zoning designation was established to provide areas for interim agricultural and livestock grazing uses until such time as community services are available for urban development. As described in the background section of this staff report, the project site is developed with one single family residence on APN 071-1970-003 and an outbuilding on APN 071-1970' 004. Thetwo parcels have been sold and used together, despite parcelization in 1981.
Adjacent parcels along East Natoma Street have General Plan land use (SF to the west and SFHD [Single Family High Density] to the east) and zoning (R-1-ML to the west and R-1-M (PD) [Single Family Residential - Small LoUPlanned Development]) designations to the west that are consistent with each other. lmages of the site and the zoning designations of the surrounding parcels are provided in Attachments 4 and 5 respectively.
The proposed rezone to change the zoning for the subject parcels from R-1-ML/A-1-A and A-1-Awould result in the General Plan land use and the zoning designations being consistent with each other in the same manner as adjacent properties to the west.
Further, residential development was contemplated for this site as demonstrated by the SF General Plan land use designation The proposed rezone is warranted to remove the split zoning on the project site and allow for the urban development called for in the parcel's existing SF General Plan designation. Staff determined that development allowed by the proposed R-1-ML zoning, either by right or with a Conditional Use Permit, would be compatible with existing land uses in the project area and that the request is consistent with all relevant General Plan goals and policies. Finally, urban services (water and sewer) are available to the property, which negates the need to retain the A-1-A zoning designation. As a result, staff is supportive of the rezone.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
An Environmental lmpact Report was previously approved for the City of Folsom General Plan on August 28, 2018, in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Staff has determined that no new impacts will result from the proposed project that were not already considered with the previous approval because the General Plan land use designation for both parcels is already SF. The project therefore does not require additional environmental review under Section 15183 (Projects Consistent with a Community Plan, General Plan, or Zoning) of the CEQA Guidelines.
Further, per the requirements of Government Code Section 65860, residential development is already allowed as permitted by the SF General Plan land use designation even though the current agriculturalzoning conflicts with the SF designation. This negates the need to analyze potential impacts from a possible increase in density due to the proposed rezone. Finally, any new site development is discretionary and would require subsequent project-specific CEQA review.
RECOMMENDATION/PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
Move to recommend that the City Council approve a rezone for two parcels totaling approximately 4.3 acres at the northeast corner of East Natoma Street and Folsom Point Road from split zoning between R-1-ML and A-1-A (1000 East Natoma), and A-1-A (1010 East Natoma), to R-1-ML for both parcels as illustrated on Attachment 5 for the 1000 East Natoma Rezone to Residential Project (ZCAM24-00112) based on the findings (Findings A-l) attached to this report.
GENERAL FINDINGS

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
The subject parcels are located at 1000 and 1010 East Natoma Street, on the north side of East Natoma Street, east of the intersection of Briggs Ranch Road/Folsom Point Road and East Natoma Street. Single-Family residential property is located to the south and east, with a church use to the west across Folsom Point Road, and the Folsom Lake State Recreation Area abuts the parcels to the north. The parcels have rolling topography, with driveways from both Folsom Point Road and East Natoma Street serving both parcels. 1000 East Natoma is developed with a 3,870 square foot single-family residence built in 1980 and 1010 East Natoma with a 1,20O square foot garage with an unknown build date. ln 2003, a Director Level Design Reviewwas approved at 1000 East Natoma (Project Number AR03-00236). Minor building permits have been approved over the ensuing 20 years for general residential maintenance. The parcels were sold to the current owners in 2O18 and used as rental property. ln 2O20, City staff were made aware that the residence at 1000 East Natoma was being used as a shortterm rental and event venue, though their business license for that location was only for a property rental. Multiple violation notices were issued over the next few years for noise and use complaints. In 2023, the owners were informed by staff that continued use of the property as a vacation rental and/or event center would require rezoning the property and approval of a Conditional Use Permit.
Rather than pursue entitlements to legitimize current uses, the owners decided to place the parcels up for sale. City staff were approached by representatives of a religious congregation (Foundation Lutheran) in early 2024 to discuss whether a church could be established on the site. Staff informed the representatives that the current zoning of A-1- A that covers most of the site does not allow church use. However, a rezoning to a residential zone, such as R-1-ML, which does permit churches with a use permit, would be supported as it would make the zoning consistent with the site's General Plan land use designation of SF. The representatives moved fonryard with submitting a request to rezone the parcels to R-1-ML and are undergoing pre-application review for a proposed church facility on the site.

Goal LU 5.1 - Support the appropriate enhancement of Folsom's riverfront areas for current andfuture residents in order to increase public access, recreational opportunities, and economic development in consultation with federal, state, and regional public land management agencies.

POLICY / RULE
Folsom Charter, Section 2.04.G - Duties of the Mayor, indicates the mayor may ooEstablish and dissolve ad hoc committees, subject to the approval of the Council, but no such committee shall exist for more than one year."
Folsom Municipal Code, Section 2.35.040 - One Seat Limitation, states that'No person may hold more than one appointed commission, board, council or committee seat at a time. This one-seat limitation shall not apply to: (l) commission, board, council or committee members who are appointed to other commissions, boards, councils or committees as a result of, or by virtue of, their riutur as a member of a particular commission, colnmittee, board or council; or (2) membership on ad hoc committees."

Consistent with the Folsom Municipal Code (FMC), the resolution forming the CAC included a start date of July 15,2023 and an end date of July 14,2024 for a total of one-year. Due to summer vacation schedules of various committee members, the first meeting date of the CAC occurred on August 31,2023. Since that time, substantial progress has been made on the master plan with the CA-C meeting a total of 11 times. A11 meetings are open and public in accordance with the Brown Act.

Of key importance to the River District Master Plan process and highlighted in the General Plan is "ro6ust community and stakeholder engagement." For additional opportunities to gather public input, RRM Design Group, the city's selected planning consultant utilized Social Pinpoint an online public engagement platform. Features of the Social Pinpoint tool include:
o interactive map of the River District
o active for at least eight weeks - December through January o open to all residents to comment on a variety of district planning issues o available for use on virtually all electronic devices o geo-locates comments within the district planning area o categorizes and manages comments
Social Pinpoint was accompanied by an online survey with an additional 14 questions regarding the publicts interests and areas of concern within the River District planning area. In total, over 300 people used the Social Pinpoint platform, leaving atotal of 526 comments, and 165 people completed the online questionnaire.

The public was also invited to an open house on Thursday, June 6th where the River District planning process was summarized and the initial design concepts for Key Sites within the district were revealed. An estimated 80-100 people attended the event. Participants were asked to leave comments and additional ideas for consideration in the planning process.
While substantial progress has been made since August2023,the master plan is not complete and several upcoming commission meetings and workshops are scheduled. Further, at least two additional CAC meetings are envisioned focusing on review and comment on Key Site illustrative site concepts and the master plan document itself, as well as a final recommendation to the city council. Staff has tentatively scheduled city council review of the draft master plan at a study session on September 10th, and consideration and adoption on Octobet 22"d.
In order to complete the River District Master Plan process and to maintain consistency in stakeholde, "rrgug.tn"nt,
staff recommends a new (second) citizens advisory committee be formed for approximaiely a six-month term. Staff also recommends the city council form the new CAC withihe same members of the current CAC (as identified above). Staff also recommends the formal appointment of the advisory committee commencing July 15,2024, and extending to December 31,2024.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The recommended action of the City Council is not a project as defined by the CEQA and therefore does not require environmental review.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no additional fiscal impact as a result of the proposed action. Funds for both project management and retained consultants have already been budgeted and appropriated. The source of the funds is from federal allocations from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).
