Staff Report
Date: March 6, 2023
To: Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Donna Decker, Planning Department
Subject: Ordinance 844-2023 First Reading by Title Only: An Ordinance to Pre-Zone Approximately 736-Acres Reflecting the Approved General Plan Land Uses within the Sphere of Influence Adopted by the 2030 General Plan Located in the Unincorporated Area of Butte County, Contiguous to the City Boundary
Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council:
1. Introduce Ordinance 844-2023 by reading of title only.
2. Determine the action is not a project and therefore not subject to CEQA in accordance with Section 15062 (B) (3).
Summary
On February 6, 2023, the City Council passed Resolution No. 2023-R-005 amending the General Plan revising the various residential land use designations to simply “Residential ” to ensure consistency and compliance between the General Plan land uses and the zoning districts. On February 22. 2023, the Planning Commission reviewed and considered the proposed pre-zone recommending approval of Ordinance 844-2023 memorializing the General Plan land uses.
Discussion
In 2010, the City Council adopted its 2030 General Plan approving land uses in the new growth area. In order to maintain the intent of the adopted General Plan land uses, the Planning Commission supports the City Council adopt an ordinance to prezone the approximately 736-acres in the new growth area.
This area is located within the City of Gridley Sphere of Influence, outside its incorporated boundary.
LAFCo was consulted and expressed support for the city’s effort to pre-zone the new growth area.
Having the area pre-zoned will help streamline future annexation and development applications.
Environmental Review
This ordinance is not a project under Section 15062 (B)(3) in that the land uses already approved in the 2030 General Plan utilizing the 2010 EIR analyzed the land uses accordingly. The proposed pre-zone memorializes the previously adopted land uses.
Public Notice
A notice was posted at City Hall, made available at the Administration public counter, and placed on the city website for review.

Staff Report
Date: March 6, 2023
To: Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Donna Decker, Planning Director
Subject: Ordinance 845-2023 by Reading of Title Only: A Zoning Code Amendment to Title 17, Chapter
17.22, “R-1 Single-Family Residential District“ of the Gridley Municipal Code. (Citywide) Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council:
1. Introduce Ordinance 845-2023 by reading of title only
2. Determine the project is exempt per the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15061 (b)(3), review for Exemption, General Rule; and,
Background
In 2016, a comprehensive zoning code amendment to Title 17 was reviewed by the Planning Commission providing a recommendation to the City Council to adopt. On December 5, 2016, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 823-2016 amending the R-1 Single Family Residential District, followed by the second reading thereafter. This was a result of the receipt of the California Department of Conservation, Sustainable Growth Council 2011 Sustainable Communities Planning Grant. The amendments to Title 17 implemented the 2030 General Plan.
Discussion
The amendment to Chapter 17.22, R-1 Single Family Residential District was revised to include smaller lot configurations in order to legalize all lot sizes within the city of Gridley. The creation of these subzones of R-1A, R-1B, and R-1C also supported the General Plan by creating a tool to have mixed-lot sizes within new subdivisions creating neighborhoods supporting all lifestyle/family needs. Recently, the discussion of density arose and it was found that conflicts in density related to the subzone designations existed. The State has also adopted several bills that impact local governments zoning density. This amendment strives to clarify and remove the conflict within the code and meet state legislation.
Additionally, the city has determined there are lots smaller than the lowest R-1A size; therefore, an amendment to further reduce the lot size is included in this amendment.
Public Notice
A notice was posted at City Hall, made available at the Administration public counter, and placed on the City website for review.
Environmental Review
The proposed project is exempt per the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15061 (b)(3), review for Exemption, General Rule

Honorable Mayor and Council Members,
I have been asked to write a letter of support for Catholic Social Services in their attempt to renew community services in our community. They have been dispensing mental health services prevention in the greater Gridley area since 2010.
This year, however, their contract is up for renewal and are facing competition from an agency from Sacramento. It is my feeling that Catholic Social services must continue to provide services in our geographical area. They are attempting to establish a “Family Resource Center” to specifically provide services in Gridley. Catholic Social Services has established deep roots in our community, and I feel, we should support their effort to renew their contract with BC Behavioral Health.
I am, at this time, asking your authorization to write a letter of support on our official City Of Gridley letter head.
I welcome any questions, comments, or concerns. For your consideration I thank you very much.
Respectfully,
J Angel Calderon,
City of Gridley Council Member

Date: March 6, 2023
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Cliff Wagner, City Administrator
Subject: Consideration of Councilmember Sanchez’s Request to Continue Remote Participation in Regular City Council Meetings, Study Sessions, and Planning Commission meetings.
Recommendation
City staff respectfully requests council direction on the question of reversing Administration decision to discontinue remote participation.
Background
COVID Timeline
March 4, 2020 - Governor declares COVID state of emergency September 16, 2021 Governor Signs AB 361
September 13, 2022 Governor Signs AB 2449
February 28, 2023 - Governor terminates COVID state of emergency AB 361 SUMMARY
Allows, until January 1, 2024, local agencies to use teleconferencing without complying with specified Ralph. M Brown Act restrictions in certain state emergencies, and provides similar authorizations, until January 31, 2022, for state agencies subject to the Bagley-Keene Open Meetings Act and legislative bodies subject to the Gloria Romero Open Meetings Act of 2000. “Under AB 361’s revisions, those local agencies, cities, counties, legislative bodies, etc. which elected to declare a continuing emergency after September of 2022 - and which make specific recurring findings every 30 days thereafter related thereto- would be permitted to enjoy the relaxed protocols which permit remote public meeting participation until February 28, 2023 at which point they would expire. However, those relaxed provisions under AB361 will continue to February 28, 2023 only if the legislative body has declared a continuing need for them. Specifically, there must be a factual finding by the majority of the council that an imposed requirement for continued social distancing remains in place or that returning to in-person meetings create an imminent risk to the health and safety of attendees. To date, the Gridley City Council has not done this. Similarly, most other elected boards and Brown Act applicable bodies within Butte County have not done so either to my knowledge…” – Tony Galyean, Gridley City Attorney
AB 2449 SUMMARY
Allows, until January 1, 2026, members of a legislative body of a local agency to use teleconferencing without identifying each teleconference location in the notice and agenda of the meeting, and without making each teleconference location accessible to the public, under specified conditions.

“By its terms, AB 2449 amends the provisions of Government Code 54953. The substance of these revisions just became law in January 2023. Government Code 54953 as amended by AB 2449 establishes the minimum requirements for teleconferencing but those minimum requirements only become mandatory duties and obligations upon the local agency IF the legislative body of a local agency (in this case the Gridley City Council) formally elects to use teleconferencing and remote access for the benefit of the public. To date in 2023, the City Council has not yet formally elected to make those provisions of Government Code 54953 as added by AB 2449 required upon the City…” – Tony Galyean, Gridley City Attorney Fiscal Impact

Hello Administrator Wagner,
I wanted to request to put on the agenda the following item:
Proposal or Resolution for the Gridley City Council to adopt certain measures to continue to permit remote/ virtual public participation during all city council and all planning commission meetings.
Additionally, City Council shall review, discuss, and vote to consider a proposal to direct City Administrator/City Staff to permit virtual public participates to use the “live” camera/video option while addressing Council and City staff.
The resolution/proposal shall include the following direction to City Administrator and City staff:
• Resolution will direct the City Administrator/staff that the City of Gridley will permit remote public participation via zoom at all city council and planning commission meetings will offer the public the following participation tools: a). use the zoom mute/unmute option, b). zoom call-in number, and c). inperson public comment. • Resolution will direct the City Administrator/staff to include the following notice and information on all City Council ans planning commission agendas moving forward: zoom link, zoom call-in number, and that in-person public comments will be permitted.
Please follow up with me if you have any questions on the the above proposed that I believe we need to ensure the Gridley City Council and City staff allow for remote public participation. My proposed items above are based off of Tony’s prior email detailing different scenarios where public participation rules should or should not apply when it comes to the current law and lifting of emergency orders for remote participation.
Thank you,
Catalina Sanchez

Background
June 7, 2022, the City entered into an agreement with Habitat for Humanity to assist with housing services for the Community Development Block Grant Programs from the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development. The grants (1.5 million total) allowed Gridley residents the ability to apply for assistance through the City of Gridley Housing Rehabilitation and Homeownership Assistance Programs (FTHB). The City recently received confirmation that the 2018-HOME-12579 grant was extended through April 2024 to allow for use of remaining funds.
Habitat for Humanity has assisted with processing applications and reviewing income qualifications for those residents wanting repair their homes or qualify for First Time Home Buyer Assistance. The City has been mailing flyers and information to residents to allow for continued outreach prior to the expiration of grants. Staff is recommending Council approve amending the agreement to allow for the assistance through the recently extended HOME grant.
Fiscal Impact
The consulting costs can be recaptured by draw requests under general administration and activity delivery costs.
Compliance with City Council Strategic Plan or Budget Goals The City Council and City staff are committed to provide the best possible financial practices and the highest possible transparency regarding all financial transactions.
