Staff Report
Date: July 17, 2023
To: Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Donna Decker, Planning Department
Subject: Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 848-2023 Reading of Title Only: An Amendment to Ordinance No. 844-2023 Adopted by the City Council on March 20, 2023 Removing the Open Space Designation as Shown on APN 022-210-095, 80.48 Acres, APN 022-210-087, 4.5 Acres, and APN 022-210-051, 10.5 Acres Totaling Approximately 95.5 Acres and Replacing it with R-1 Single Family Residential, and R-2, Medium Density Residential District.
Recommendation
Staff respectfully recommends the City Council adopt Ordinance 848-2023, by second reading of title only.
Summary
On May 17, 2023 the Planning Commission considered the proposal to amend Ordinance No. 844-2023.
After review, it was unanimously recommended to be forwarded to the City Council for adoption. On June 19, 2023, the City Council supported the recommendations of the Planning Commission to amend Ordinance No. 844-2023 returning the land uses from Park/Open Space back to its General Plan land use designation of Single-Family Residential District (R-1) and Medium Density Residential (R-2). The proposed pre-zone for consideration is to remove this narrow land use designation and define the land use in accordance with the 2030 General Plan land uses.
Discussion
The pre-zone of lands outside the city boundary lying within the City of Gridley Sphere of Influence is an important step in advanced planning. This allows for a more streamlined process through LAFCO’s annexation process. Ensuring the property reflects the 2030 General Plan is important and amending Ordinance 844-2023 to reflect the 2030 General Plan designations is a step to ensure consistency in land development outlined in the General Plan.
Environmental Review
The project is exempt from further CEQA analysis because there is no change in land uses analyzed at the time the General Plan was adopted based upon the Draft and Final Environmental Impact Report.

City Council Item #5
Staff Report
Date: July 17, 2023
To: Mayor, Councilmembers
From: Donna Decker, Planning Department
Subject: Informational Item - General Plan Annual Report Recommendation
City staff recommends the City Council accept the information within the General Plan Annual Report 2023.
Discussion
The City is required to evaluate its progress in the implementation of its General Plan goals and policies. The Implementation Strategies provide direction for the city to fulfill the goals and policies it adopted in 2009.
The attached document, General Plan Annual Report, provides the annual report requirements and a summary of the role the General Plan provides for direction of development within the city. The Housing Element is an Element of the General Plan and is also required to be reviewed annually and submitted to the state. The Housing Element Annual Report was completed and accepted by the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development and is attached as an appendix to the General Plan Annual Report.
The City is generally pursuing implementation of the General Plan; however, some legislation has changed since the time of adoption that changes the process to take action. These areas are noted in the response to the specific strategy.
The annual report is presented with an overview, figures depicting the existing General Plan Map, and the Planned Growth Area. Each of the elements within the General Plan have “Implementation Strategies” to which a response, or, status of the work towards that strategy is described. Many of the strategies do not end with a particular action, but rather are on-going and used in the planning process.
Conclusion
The General Plan Annual Report process requires review by the City Council prior to being submitted to the state.
Environmental Review
The proposed project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15061(b) (3), and Review for Exemption, General Rule.

General Plan Annual Report - Purpose, Acceptance, Roles California Government Code Section 65400(a)(2) mandates that all cities and counties submit an annual report on the status of its General Plan and progress in the implementation thereof, to their legislative bodies, the State of California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).
Additionally, the Housing Element of the General Plan is also required to report annually, in a separate electronic format submitted to HCD, as well as the OPR, on its success in implementing its adopted goals and policies. The Housing Element Annual Report provides progress reporting how it has met or intends to meet its share of regional housing. The Housing Element Annual Report is attached to the General Plan Annual Report as Appendix A.
The purpose of the General Plan Annual Report is a measure of the success the city has had in the implementation of it. It also identifies how, over time, the document may or may not be consistent with legislation or other regulations that have been adopted since the time of the 2030 General Plan Update approval.
This annual report covers the calendar year January 1 to December 31, 2022.
Acceptance Date
The 2022 General Plan Annual Progress Report was accepted by the City Council on July 17, 2023.
Planning Department
“The Legislature finds and declares that California’s land is an exhaustible resource, not just a commodity, and is essential to the economy, environment and general well-being ofthe people of California. It is the policy of the state and the intent of the Legislature to protect California’s land resource, to ensure its preservation and use in ways which are economically and socially desirable in an attempt to improve the quality of life inCalifornia.” Government Code Section 65030
The Planning Department reviews and provides guidance to the development community to create projects that implement the General Plan and zoning land use designations resulting in projects that foster community, economic, and environmental prosperity. The Planning Department implements the City’s General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, processes amendments, conducts environmental reviews, processes use permits and variances, reviews subdivisions and development proposals, processes annexation requests, and provides demographic and census information.
4 | July, 2023
Introduction to the General Plan
Each California county and city county is required to prepare a General Plan to provide comprehensive, long-term guidance “for the physical development of the county or city, and any land outside its boundaries which in the planning agency's judgment bears relation to its planning” (see Government Code Section 65300). General plans must provide an “integrated, internally consistent and compatible statement of policies.” Each element of the General Plan was completed according to the "General Plan Guidelines" developed and adopted by the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research. The General Plan update began in 2006 and adopted by the City Council in November, 2009. The process included community outreach, charettes, surveys mailed to all residences, joint public study sessions with the Planning Commission, City Council, and the public. The city of Gridley adopted the 2030 General Plan Update including the seven areas of interest corresponding to the required elements required by the State as well as additional topics. The following are the required General Plan Elements:
1. Land use
2. Transportation
3. Open space
4. Conservation
5. Housing
6. Noise, and,
7. Safety.
The 2030 General Plan Update contains the required Elements 1-7 above as well as additional elements important to the city of Gridley. City policy applies to areas within the current city limits and areas proposing to annex to the city. In addition to the city limits, there are other boundaries relevant to the 2030 General Plan, Figure 1.
These other areas include:
• The General Plan Study Area, the broadest area of analysis for the 2030 General Plan, which includes the current city limits and other areas described below. The Study Area represents lands that most affect, and are most affected by, the implementation of the General Plan.
• The city’s Sphere of Influence (SOI), which represents the future probable physical boundary and service area of the city. The SOI identifies future growth areas so that the city may plan for efficient and orderly extension of public services and infrastructure.
The General Plan itself does not identify a future SOI boundary for the city. SOI expansion is a separate process that would normally follow a General Plan update. SOI 5 | July, 2023
expansion is not adopted by the city, but rather by the Butte Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO). When LAFCO considers a SOI expansion, the General Plan and Environmental Impact Report for the General Plan are used to support the SOI expansion request. LAFCO also approves annexation requests (requests to become part of the city).
• The Area of Concern (AOC), located between the cities of Gridley and Biggs, which represents the primary future growth areas for both of these communities. • The Planned Growth Area, representing the southern half of the AOC, which is the geographic focus of the 2030 General Plan update. The Planned Growth Area will be the location of Gridley’s new neighborhoods, Figure 2.
AREA OF CONCERN
The 2,846-acre AOC was established by LAFCO between the cities of Gridley and Biggs to coordinate future urban growth in the two communities. Such growth will be directed to this area to provide for more compact growth and preservation of important agricultural lands elsewhere in the County. The city will focus new development during the General Plan time horizon within Gridley’s proposed portion of the AOC. Gridley’s portion of the AOC includes approximately 1,200 acres, which is about 42% of the total AOC area.
The AOC extends north of Gridley along West Biggs-Gridley Road, to the southern boundary of Biggs and north of the City’s SOI along Highway 99 to the intersection of B Street and Biggs East Highway, east of Biggs. The easterly border of the AOC extends approximately one-half mile east of Highway 99. Gridley provided LAFCO with a summary of planning and environmental objectives for the AOC that are reflected throughout this General Plan. These goals and objectives include:
• Urban development in Gridley’s portion of the AOC will be designed and implemented to ensure the provision of efficient and fiscally responsible municipal services and utilities.
• Urban development within the AOC could provide opportunities for shared facilities between the two cities.
• The AOC could set the stage for coordinated multi-jurisdictional development impact fees and revenue sharing.
• Coordinated planning could establish consistent design standards along the Highway 99 corridor and lead to strategic preservation of open space between the cities that would maintain distinct identities, even as the cities grow toward one another.
PLANNED GROWTH AREA
As noted above, a special focus of the 2030 General Plan update is the 1,200-acre Planned Growth Area, Figure 2. The Planned Growth Area will include new neighborhoods integrated with public services, parks, and small-scale commercial uses. Compared to the existing City, the Planned Growth Area will have more compact development. This allows Gridley to provide for future growth needs on a smaller development footprint, therefore avoiding premature urbanization of agricultural lands. 6 | July, 2023
A mix of housing types will be provided in each neighborhood in the Planned Growth Area, with high-density housing located around neighborhood centers. Neighborhood centers will have a mix of higher-activity land uses such as schools, parks, shops, and civic uses. Medium-density housing will be located around neighborhood centers and high-density housing areas. Low-density housing opportunities will generally be located at the outskirts of neighborhoods, further from the neighborhood centers.
BUILDOUT
Buildout of the General Plan could result in:
• The construction of 3,850 to 4,700 housing units;
• The addition of 1 to 1.3 million square feet of commercial building space; • The addition of 3.2 to 4 million square feet of building space for industrial, light industrial, and agricultural processing uses; and,
• Parks; schools; open space for conservation, buffering and drainage, and recreation; and other land uses.
Table 1 summarizes the buildout estimates. The buildout estimates include new development that could occur within the existing city and SOI, as well as development of the Planned Growth Area. Table Land Use-1 provides the buildout estimates for the entire Gridley General Plan study area.
Table 1: Total Land Use Change
Existing City plus Planned Growth Area plus Sphere of Influence Area Total Land Use Change,
Existing City/SOI/Planned Growth Area Estimated Range
New Dwelling Units 3,850-4,700
New Commercial Square Footage 1,000,000-1,325,000
New Industrial Square Footage (Industrial + Ag Industrial) 3,200,000-4,000,000 The actual amount of development through 2030 may differ from the estimates presented above, depending on market conditions, funding for infrastructure, environmental conditions, regulatory constraints, and other factors. For these reasons, the buildout assumptions are presented as likely ranges, as the city anticipates that actual development will occur within these ranges. The city will monitor development trends and progress in relation to buildout assumptions and will update the General Plan as needed.
Table 2 represents the buildout in the Planned Growth Area. Most future development will occur in the Planned Growth Area. Residential development in this area could add between 2,400 and 2,900 dwelling units to the city. The Planned Growth Area could also accommodate between 75,000 and 95,000 square feet of smaller-scale retail, service, and office use; 1.5 to 1.8 million square feet of employment uses; and other land uses 7 | July, 2023

Open Space 70 – 90 Acres
Park 30 – 50 Acres
Urban Reserve 350 – 400 Acres
While most new growth through 2030 is expected to occur in the Planned Growth Area, the city has also identified the potential for development on vacant and underutilized lands within existing City limits. Presently, there is a large amount of land available for smaller-scale commercial development which includes shops, offices, services, and other non-residential uses that are compatible in scale with, and blended into, surrounding neighborhoods and located on properties of roughly 5 acres or less. Larger-scale employment uses are industrial and light industrial operations, office parks, business parks, and other commercial projects on larger properties and that normally are not as integrated into neighborhoods. Approximately 300 acres of land in the existing City and SOI is vacant, with much of this acreage in the Gridley Industrial Park. In addition, approximately 100 acres of agricultural land in the existing SOI is designated for commercial or industrial uses. The city intends to direct large-scale commercial development to vacant and underutilized sections of Highway 99 and will encourage both housing and commercial development Downtown. Between 1,500 and 1,800 housing units could be constructed within the current City limits and existing SOI on vacant land and agricultural properties designated for residential development. Approximately 1 million square feet of commercial building space could be developed in the existing City and SOI on properties with commercial General Plan land use designations. In the City’s Industrial Park and other areas with industrial land use designations, between 1.7 and 2.2 million square feet of building space could be developed.
The 2030 General Plan Update is organized and analyzed with the following Elements:
• Introduction, Vision, and Guiding Principles
• General Plan Setting
• Land Use Element
• Circulation Element
• Community Design and Character Element
• Conservation Element
• Open Space Element
• Safety Element
8 | July, 2023
• Public Facilities Element
• Housing Element
• Noise Element
• Legal Authority and General Plan Implementation
The Elements of the General Plan each contain background information – both relative to existing conditions and regulatory guidance. Each Element also has goals, policies, and implementation strategies to guide land use and development decisions in the future. • Goals are a description of a future desired state.
• Policies are a decision-making guide.
• Implementation strategies are proactive measures or programs that will be undertaken, as necessary, to achieve General Plan goals.
Several supporting documents were produced during the development of the General Plan, including the General Plan Vision and Guiding Principles, summaries of General Plan public input, General Plan Alternatives reports, and a General Plan Program Environmental Impact Report. Various technical reports, studies, and analyses were used in preparing the Plan, including an existing land use survey, a traffic/circulation model, and a range of other technical studies that characterize existing conditions and estimating future conditions. The city initiated this General Plan Update in 2006, identifying a roughly 1,200-acre new growth area north of the existing City, which would be the focus of the Update. The public outreach effort, land use alternatives process, and drafting of this General Plan Update has resulted in comprehensive planning policies, land use designations, and environmental analysis for the entire Gridley Planning Area, with a special focus on this new growth area. This new growth area north of the current City limits is called “Planned Growth Area” throughout this General Plan.
GOALS, POLICIES, AND IMPLEMENTATION
The General Plan Annual Report assesses the success of the city of Gridley in implementing its General Plan. The General Plan Elements provide specific implementation strategies that are provided below with an assessment of the city meeting or working towards meeting the specific goal or policy.
LAND USE ELEMENT
Land Use Implementation Strategy 1.1
The city will submit an application to Butte Local Agency Formation Commission to expand the Sphere of Influence to implement the General Plan. The city will provide LAFCO with environmental and infrastructure analysis and documentation needed to expand Gridley's Sphere of lnfluence to include the Planned Growth Area. • The City of Gridley submitted to the Butte Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) two documents; the Municipal Services Review (MSR) and the application to amend the Sphere of Influence (SOI) boundary to meet the goals for the future growth of 9 | July, 2023
the city incorporating the Planned Growth Area. The documents were reviewed and approved by LAFCo. The MSR was initially adopted by Butte LAFCo on February 6, 2008. It was amended and further adopted by Butte LAFCo on December 10, 2010. the SOI was adopted by Butte LAFCo on December 10, 2010. The city provided Butte LAFCo the 2030 General Plan FEIR, authored by EDAW, dated November, 2009.
Implementation Strategy 1.1 has been completed.
Land Use Implementation Strategy 1.2
The Planning Department will pre-zone land within the expanded Sphere of Influence consistent with the General Plan prior to annexation.
• The city received two applications, Kiwi Vineyard Estates and Chandler Park Subdivision. Both projects were approved by LAFCO and the City Council for annexation. The projects were zoned appropriately and amended their General Plan land use designations.
• In March, 2023 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023-R-005. This resolution amended the five residential land use designations of Residential, Very Low Density, Residential, Low Density, Residential, Medium Density, Residential, High Density 1, and Residential, High Density 2 to Residential providing consistency related to recent state legislation supporting increased housing densities in all zones creating non-conformance to the General Plan. • Subsequent to this effort, on March 20, 2023, the City Council prezoned approximately 736-acres lying within the Planned Growth Area within the Sphere of Influence, approving Ordinance No. 844-2023. An amendment to this initial prezone effort was effected June 19, 2023 approving Ordinance No. 848-2023.
Implementation Strategy 1.1 has been completed.
10 | July, 2023
Land Use Implementation Strategy 1.3
The city will work with property owners interested in infill development to identify infrastructure deficiencies and needs and to determine an equitable sharing of costs between the City and the property owner for infrastructure improvements. • The city works with developers when new infill, infill restorations, or infill additions are proposed to determine what infrastructure may be required. The cost for infrastructure improvements is typically the responsibility of the developer. • With the legislation SB9, infill development by lot splits may not exact infrastructure improvements.
Implementation Strategy 1.3 has been completed; however, it is also on-going as we continue to work with infill developers.
Land Use Implementation Strategy 2.1
The city will adopt changes to the Zoning Ordinance and Public Works Construction Standards to accommodate more compact growth patterns, consistent with the General Plan, while still ensuring public health and safety.
• In 2016, the City Council adopted amended Public Works Construction Standards to implement the road configurations envisioned by the 2030 General Plan Update to provide for pedestrian separation, road crossings, and landscaping to enhance the roadway visual amenity.
• In 2022, city staff coordinated with local developers to adopt a monolithic pour standard for curb, gutter, and sidewalk. This effort would reduce the construction costs to the developer and speed the installation. The Public Works Construction Standards were revised to incorporate a new construction detail approved by the City Council. • The Zoning Ordinance was amended to legalize the varying sizes of lots within the Gridley urban core which many were limited to renovation and reconstruction due to being non-conforming. This code amendment created four (4) lot sizes in the Standard Single Family Zoning District (R-1) providing legalization and conformity for the lots.
Additionally, these four categories of lot sizes enhance the ability for new subdivisions to create a mixed size lotting pattern to provide different housing sizes and types in new development to serve all income levels and family sizes.
Implementation Strategy 2.1 has been completed; however, it is also on-going as we continue to work with infill developers.
Land Use Implementation Strategy 2.2
The city will require a Planned Development Overlay application for any new development project in areas designated Residential, High Density I and 2 to allow flexible development 11 | July, 2023
standards and ensure the development of high-quality residential projects that provide adequate amenities for the residents of these projects. • The city has processed three multi-family residential projects; one specifically for senior housing and two for family housing. These projects are also affordable housing. The densities range from 17 to 19 du/ac and have not needed a Planned Development Overlay; therefore, this has not been done unilaterally.
Implementation Strategy 2.2 is on-going and each high-density residential development will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine the necessity of the creation of a zoning overlay to meet development standards.
Land Use Implementation Strategy 2.3
The city will update the Nexus Fee Study following the 2030 General Plan update. As a part of this update, the city will ensure that compact development has lower fees where it is shown to have lower costs. The city will evaluate its fee structure to align more closely the fees it charges with the actual cost of providing public services. The city will consider establishing fees on an equivalent dwelling unit basis, a per-capita basis, or per- acre basis, depending on the type of fee. The city will not use fees that are applied on a per-dwelling unit basis, since different types of dwelling units have different demands for services with different associated costs. • The existing fee schedule differentiates between different housing types and land uses. • In 2011 the city retained a firm to provide a Nexus Fee Study. That study recommended fees be increased based upon the cost of services. The City Council decided to table the discussion and did not adopt the fee schedule.
• The 2022-2023 Annual Budget was adopted along with the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). This document budgeted funds for a Nexus Study to evaluate the fee structure for city services as well as new development.
Implementation Strategy 2.3 is on-going. A Nexus Study is on the 2023-2024 Budget Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
Land Use Implementation Strategy 3.1
The city will revise the Zoning Ordinance so that zoning districts implement the land use designations contained in the 2030 General Plan update, including the Neighborhood Center Mixed Use and Residential High Density 2 designations.
The city will require a Planned Development Overlay application for any new development project in areas designated Residential, High Density I and 2 to ensure the development of highquality residential projects that provide adequate amenities for the residents of these projects.
The city will encourage flexibility for creative site design, using this Land Use Element and the Community Character and Design Element for guidance in reviewing the design of proposed projects.
12 | July, 2023
• Reference Implementation Strategy 2.1 and 2.2.
• The Zoning Ordinance and its land use designation map for both the General Plan and zoning have been amended to depict the land uses outlined in the 2030 General Plan update and Chapters added for the new land use zoning designations.
Implementation Strategy 3.1 has been completed. The review process for new development is on-going.
Land Use Implementation Strategy 4.1
As part of the update of the city's fees described in Land Use Implementation Strategy 2.3, the city will consider reducing development impact feesto encourage infill development Downtown. • Reference Implementation Strategy 2.3.
• In 2018 and 2019, the city implemented a program to reduce development impact fees for both new residential construction which includes the completion of open subdivisions, infill, and second units. These programs are scheduled to sunset December 31, 2022. • These programs sunset. The reduction found that it did not significantly encourage infill development in the Downtown area; however, there were a small number of homes that were destroyed and rebuilt utilizing the reduction. Specifically, the benefits went towards new construction.
Land Use Implementation Strategy 4.2
The city will revise the Zoning Ordinance to implement the Downtown Mixed-Use designation.
The city will consider for redesignation smaller properties Downtown with Industrial designations that may be suitable for residential, commercial, and mixed-use development.
To ensure compatibility in the mixed-use environment, the city will review projects against policies in this General Plan, which provide general design guidance and performance standards for noise, light, glare, air pollution, truck traffic, and other relevant issues. The city will also review projects using Chapter 17.38 of the city's Municipal Code, which also provides performance standards that can be used in situations where industrial operations may be located close to residential uses.
• Reference Implementation Strategy 3.1. The Zoning Ordinance and land use map were amended to reflect the 2030 General Plan Update.
Implementation Strategy 4.2 has been completed.
Land Use Implementation Strategy 5.1
The city will review projects against policies in this General Plan, which provide general design guidance and performance standards for noise, light, glare, air pollution, truck traffic, and other 13 | July, 2023
issues may be required to allow for a desired mix of uses in close proximity to one another. The city will also review projects using Chapter 17.38 of the City's Municipal Code, which also provides performance standards that can be used in situations where industrial operations may be located close to residential uses.
• Implementation Strategy 5.1 is on-going.
Land Use Implementation Strategy 5.2
The city will review projects against policies in this General Plan, which provide general design guidance and performance standards for mixing uses in close proximity to one another, including agricultural uses, the railroad, Highway 99, and residential uses. The city will use guidance in this General Plan to determine the adequacy of proposed buffering between residential land uses, Highway 99 and the Union Pacific railroad.
• Implementation Strategy 5.2 is on-going.
Land Use Implementation Strategy 5.3
The Planning Department will coordinate with Butte County to determine the specific application of the city's agricultural buffer policy in the Planned Growth Area. The city will consider developing an ordinance to apply this policy in areas adjacent to long-term ongoing agricultural operations.
• The adopted General Plan Land Use Element, policies 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, and 5.6 discuss the widths of agricultural buffers and the reduction of buffers adjacent to Butte County boundaries.
• The city will continue to engage Butte County in discussions and interpretations of the agricultural boundary widths.
Convenient Local Shopping
Land Use Implementation Strategy 6.1
The city will revise the Zoning Ordinance, as necessary, to facilitate development and redevelopment of commercial properties downtown and along Highway 99. The city will consider flexibility Downtown and along Highway 99, where necessary, with respect to the required loading areas. Public rights-of-way or parking areas may be allowed for loading where this can be accomplished safely and without impeding emergency access. • The city added a new land use for the purposes of creating mixed use developments along the SR 99 corridor. The Highway Commercial Corridor Mixed Use Combining zone allows commercial, industrial, and residential uses on the same lot. Approximately 200- 300 feet of the front of properties is defined for use specifically for commercial and the remainder of the lot may have a combination of the other land uses. The zone also allows the site to use shared parking for the mixed-use development. 14 | July, 2023
• Implementation Strategy 6.1 is complete and on-going for the review of projects.
Land Use Implementation Strategy 6.2
The city will revise the Zoning Ordinance to implement the Downtown Mixed Use and Neighborhood Center Mixed Use designations.
• The Zoning Code was amended to implement the new 2030 General Plan Update land use designations.
Diverse Local Economy
Land Use Implementation Strategy 7.1
The city will analyze in a Nexus Study and consider reducing its development impact fees to create incentives for employment-generating projects. The city's development impact fees and other funding programs should provide incentives both for development within the Gridley Industrial Park and areas targeted for Agricultural Industrial development. • Reference Implementation Strategy 2.3 and 6.2. The temporary reduction of development impact fees did not appear to spur additional incentives for employment generating projects. The reduction was for residential and did not apply to commercial/employment generating development.
Land Use Implementation Strategy 7.2
The Planning Department will revise the Zoning Ordinance to implement the Agricultural Industrial land use designation.
• Reference Implementation Strategy 3.1.
Land Use Implementation Strategy 7.3
The Gridley Planning Department, Public Works Department, Building Department, Electric Department, and Finance Department will be involved in aspects of Gridley's proactive economic development strategy. Activities could include, but are not limited to:
1. Business recruitment and retention, emphasizing employers that share Gridley's commitment to social, economic, and environmental sustainability
2. Industrial Park planning for increased vehicular access; best practices in stormwater management; recycled water use; energy conservation strategies;
3. Investigating the viability and importance of rail access in the long term; transit, bicycle, and pedestrian access; and, other planning strategies to increase environmental and economic sustainability in the fully developed Industrial Park.
4. Incentive programs, including those that address both up-front impact fees and ongoing costs.
5. Highway 99 beautification programs. This could include some type of facade and streetscape improvement program for targeted redevelopment properties along the highway corridor. The City could provide small grants, low interest loans, and/or 15 | July, 2023
architectural and design assistance to property owners or business owners to improve streetscapes or buildings along Highway 99.
6. Electrical facilities planning that accommodates, and creates incentives for renewable energy production and use.
7. Coordinating the employment recruitment strategy with local community college districts and schools to encourage a better match between the skill sets and interests of the local workforce and the needs of employers that might be interested in locating or relocating to Gridley.
8. Coordinate with other agencies, as necessary, to promote economic development.
Caltrans must be consulted for planning and funding of access improvements along Highway 99. The city will monitor and take advantage of State, federal, and regional funding opportunities.
• All of the activities 1-8 in Implementation Strategy 7.3 are on-going.
Land Use Implementation Strategy 7.4
The city will undertake a planning process for the Gridley Industrial Park to identify specific actions to create a "green" or "eco" industrial park and the types of businesses the city can expected to attract to such a park. The city will evaluate opportunities for energy efficiency, onsite energy generation, low-impact development, water conservation, recycling, reuse of waste heat, the co-location of businesses that can support a "green" or "eco" industrial park, and other options.
Through this planning process, the city will determine which actions to adopt, such as a· specific plan or master plan with illustrated design guidelines, changes to the Zoning Ordinance, installation of infrastructure, financial incentives, applications for state or federal funding, and/or other actions. Another component of the planning process could be a marketing effort to identify industrial users interested in sustainability that could benefit by locating in the Gridley Industrial Park.
• Since the adoption of the 2030 General Plan Update, the State of California sunset the Redevelopment Agency program and directed all cities to divest themselves of all assets in order to repay the taxing entities who agreed to abate the collection of taxes under the Redevelopment Program. The city filed a Long-Range Property Management Plan (Plan) with the State of California Department of Finance, who approved the Plan December 31, 2014. The Plan allowed the city to retain approximately 50% of the lands for future government use.
• The city will ensure the review will consider the implementation strategies for the remaining parcels developed for industrial uses.
• The city has prepared and recorded a Final Subdivision Map and in the process of entering into sales contracts with purchasers.
16 | July, 2023
CIRCULATION ELEMENT
Circulation Implementation Strategy
Complete Streets
Circulation Implementation Strategy 1.1
The city will revise its Public Works Construction Standards to distinguish between Major Collector, Minor Collector, and Local Streets. Street Design Criteria will be revised for consistency with this Circulation Element. The city will consider reducing the minimum curb return radius, while also considering also the needs of service and emergency vehicles, as follows: 15 to 20 feet for Local Streets, 20 or 25 feet for Minor Collectors, and 25 to 30 feet for Major Collectors. The city will also revise its standards for minimum lane widths for Local Streets to 10 feet and for Minor Collectors to 11 feet. • The city amended the Public Works Construction Standards in 2016. Additionally, through the process of discussions with developers, standards have evolved representative of current construction practices. The City Council approved the review and update of its standards in 2022.
Circulation Implementation Strategy 1.2
The city will prepare a Nexus Study and update the Impact Fee Schedule to address transportation funding needs, consistent with this General Plan. The city will ensure that developments contribute their fair share to transportation improvements, including the Highway 99 bypass; improvements to the West Liberty Road/Highway 99 intersection; traffic circles, landscaped medians, and/or parallel parking on wider existing city streets; and other needs identified in the 2030 General Plan update, as appropriate.
Transportation impact fees should be structured to best represent that actual level of impact of new development. Residential development impact fees will consider density, the size, and number of bedrooms of residential units in establishing equitable per unit fees. Fees per residential unit will be lower for higher-density projects (on a per-unit basis) and projects with fewer bedrooms, since these types of projects generate fewer trips (per unit). Fair-share commercial traffic impact fees will take into account whether the commercial project is located and designed to attract drivers, or whether it is oriented toward pedestrians. For example, large-scale retail projects adjacent to Highway 99 would have higher traffic generation rates and relatively higher impact fees (per square foot). Smaller-scale retail and service establishments Downtown and integrated into neighborhoods that are designed to promote pedestrian, transit, and bicycle access will have relatively lower impact fees (per square foot).
• Reference Land Use Strategy 2.3.
• The city will retain a firm to prepare a Nexus Study for consideration of increases in development impact fees as well as application fees.
17 | July, 2023
• The city currently does not collect transportation impact fees. This is an area that will be addressed in the Nexus Study as well as other impact fees that are not currently collected.
Circulation Implementation Strategy 1.3
The city will update the Bicycle Plan to incorporate the Planned Growth Area and implement policies of the updated 2030 General Plan. The city will incorporate connections to existing and planned regional pedestrian/bicycle routes shown on plans adopted by Butte County. The city will provide potential connections with the city of Biggs and will incorporate planned connections shown on plans adopted by the city of Biggs. The city will coordinate with BCAG, the County, Butte County Air Quality Management District, and other agencies to obtain funding for improvements described in the Bicycle Plan. • The city has been working on updating the Bicycle Plan now entitled Active Transportation Plan. This plan is an effort coordinated with BCAG and the city of Biggs and is on-going. The project has been adopted on the current CIP and staff anticipates its completion during the fiscal year 2023-2024.
Circulation Implementation Strategy 1.4
Traffic impact reports for Gridley projects will conform to the policies in this Circulation Element. When calculating traffic impacts of development projects, traffic analyses will use models that are sensitive to lower trip-generating characteristics of higher residential densities, mixing homes and destinations in proximity to each other, projects with reduced parking, and other applicable land use planning and site design techniques that reduce travel demand. • Traffic impact reports prepared for development projects will conform to the latest analysis requirements. One that has developed since the 2030 General Plan Update is the consideration and assessment of Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) rather than Level of Service (LOS). Although CEQA no longer requires LOS, the city of Gridley continues to have the analysis done in order to evaluate how projects affect service levels in new developments and the impacts, if any, to the existing urban core.
Implementation Strategy 1.4 is on-going.
Circulation Implementation Strategy 2.1
The city will prepare a plan for pedestrian improvements along Highway 99, with a focus on the area north of West Liberty Road and south of Ord Ranch Road. This plan will describe improvements, including sidewalks, landscaping, street trees, street furniture, and other amenities, as appropriate. Sidewalks should be relatively wide along this stretch of Highway - 99 - between 6 and 10 feet in width. If appropriate, this improvement plan may become a part of the city' s Public Works Construction Standards and/or Capital Improvement Programming. • The city is working with and coordinating its efforts in partnership with Caltrans.
Caltrans has programmed improvements along its SR 99 corridor to improve pedestrian 18 | July, 2023
travel, provide pedestrian connectivity, implement the Complete Streets program and to ensure its road sections continue to be in good operating order.
Implementation Strategy 2.1 is on-going.
Connectivity
Circulation Implementation Strategy 4.1
The city will explore options to improve transportation connectivity and infrastructure availability in the southeastern portion of the city's Sphere of Influence (SOI). The city will follow the 2030 General Plan update with a long-range planning process to address the lack of connectivity and access. The city may use a specific plan process (as providedby Sections 65450- 65457 of the State Government Code), a street system master plan, or some other planning measure(s). In this portion of Gridley's Sphere of Influence, there are parcels with split zoning and General Plan designations, parcels with inadequate transportation access, and areas without adequate drainage and wastewater infrastructure (see Exhibit Circulation-4).
Pedestrian connectivity to destinations throughout the rest of the city is lacking in much of this area. Access improvements for the city's Industrial Park may require changes in road alignments in this southeastern portion of Gridley. Any road re-alignment should be accompanied by access improvements in this part of the city. At this time, the city does not anticipate that this special planning effort in the southeastern portion of the SOI will involve land use designation changes. If future planning efforts change allowable land use, or if specific projects are proposed, this would be subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). • Implementation Strategy 4.1 is on-going.
Circulation Implementation Strategy 5.1
The city will continue to coordinate with Caltrans (and the California Transportation Commission), the Butte County Association Governments (BCAG), Butte County, and nearby cities to plan and fund a bypass for Highway 99 using lands held currently by the Caltrans and intended for this purpose. The city will coordinate with BCAG to ensure this regional route is a part of future regional transportation plans. The city will coordinate with Caltrans and BCAG to prepare a Project Study Report or other preliminary documentation that analyzes the best options for the future alignment and design of this facility, as well as the appropriate regional funding sources.
• In the 1960's, Caltrans purchased approximately 24 parcels east of Gridley for a future bypass route around the city. In 2004 Caltrans announced that since they had determined to invest in SR 70, they considered the Gridley bypass surplus lands and began the process to sell the land. The effort by Caltrans is currently towards rehabilitation of SR 99 through Gridley. This project has been approved and Caltrans is supporting the construction of landscaping, sidewalk, and lighting on the east side of SR 99 from West Liberty Road to Standish Lane. The environmental work has been done and plans and specifications for the project are underway. The State is also implementing its Access Management Program which will limit driveway access to 19 | July, 2023
vacant parcels when uses change and they are developed into commercial uses as they are zoned for.
Circulation Implementation Strategy 5.2
The city will revise its Public Works Construction Standards, as necessary, to ensure connectivity within and between neighborhoods. The city will revise its Public Works Construction Standards to establish a maximum block length in new neighborhoods of 400 feet.
The city will consider deleting any language that would require or encourage "T" intersections for Local Streets, as opposed to more connected full intersections, which are preferred. • Reference Land Use Implementation Strategy 2.1.
Mobility for All Ages
Circulation Implementation Strategy 6.1
The city will continue to proactively identify regional, State, and federal sources of funding to identify, plan, and develop transportation improvements to ensure safe routes to school from Gridley neighborhoods. The city has identified gaps in sidewalks within the city, including areas serving local schools and neighborhoods. As funding is available, the city will address gaps in the pedestrian network between neighborhoods and local schools in the existing city. As funding is available, the city will also improve the safety of intersections with Highway 99 to provide safer routes to schools east of the highway.
• In 2011 and 2012 the city received a grant for Safe Routes to School aiding in constructing infill sidewalk improvements.
• The city has a current application for a grant to continue the construction of the sidewalk infill project.
Circulation Implementation Strategy 6.2
The city will continue to support the Gridley Golden Feather Flyer and will consider expanding this service to meet future demand, based surveys of Gridley 's local senior population as to specific transportation needs. The city will consider a marketing campaign to increase awareness and use of the Golden Feather Flyer.
• Implementation Strategy 6.2 is on-going.
Parking
Circulation Implementation Strategy 7.1
The city will revise the off-street parking requirements in the Zoning Ordinance consistent with Circulation Element policy. The city will consider implementing maximum off-street parking standards (in addition to minimum requirements, which are already provided). The city will consider increasing flexibility in parking requirements to increase shared use of parking between properties with different parking demand peaking periods, use of on-street parking spaces 20 | July, 2023
(instead of off-street) to meet parking requirements, and other methods for reducing the need for construction of surface parking. The city will consider additional parking reductions or eliminating off-street parking requirements for projects located in Neighborhood Centers. Downtown properties are already exempt from parking requirements. Following this General Plan update, the city will examine whether the area of Downtown exempt from offstreet parking should be expanded or whether the city should require some amount of offstreetparking or in-lieu fee for very large projects Downtown. • Implementation Strategy 7.1 is on-going. When projects are submitted, Planning looks for ways to implement the shared parking demand for different site uses. The Planning Commission approved a mixed use/residential/office development whereby parking demand was met by sharing the off-street parking and to use on-street parking as well.
Local Economy
Circulation Implementation Strategy 8.1
The city will coordinate with Caltrans and Butte County Association Governments (BCAG) on funding and planning of access improvements to and from the Gridley Industrial Park. signalization, realignment of roadways, lane reconfigurations, and other improvements may be required. These improvements will focus on the segment of West Liberty Road west of Highway 99 and the intersection of West Liberty Road and Highway 99, Hollis Lane is currently offset from West Liberty Road, which presents some challenges for intersection improvements. Realignment of West Liberty Road to match Hollis Lane, or providing alternative access to the Hollis Lane properties from Highway 99 are optionsto be considered.
The city will coordinate with Caltrans and BCAG to prepare a Project Study Report or other preliminary documentation that analyzes the best options for access improvements and identifies appropriate funding sources. The City will consider development of impact fees for benefitting parties to offset the cost of accessimprovements. • Implementation Strategy 8.1 has been partially implemented through a partnership between Caltrans, the city of Gridley and FEMA to improve and signal the intersection at West Liberty and SR 99 to provide additional traffic safety due to the emergency housing provided by the city for Camp Fire Survivors.
• Development at the intersection of Hwy 99 and West Liberty will continue to improve the right of way.
COMMUNITY CHARACTER AND DESIGN ELEMENT
Community Character Implementation Strategy 1.1
The city will adopt a historic preservation program designed to maintain the physical reminders of Gridley's rich history. This program may involve changes to various regulatory documents, zoning district designations, capital improvements planning, financial assistance (to the extent 21 | July, 2023
of available State and federal funding), education and awareness, and other actions. The City will seek an appropriate balance of incentives and development guidelines so that historic preservation makes economic sense for property owners and developers. The emphasis of the City's program will be on voluntary participation and education to encourage historic preservation rather than mandatory regulation. The City will encourage the continued use of historic buildings and properties in a manner consistent with their historic status. The City will forge public/private partnerships to achieve mutual goals for preservation and the continued viable use of properties.
This historic preservation program may include:
1. Development review. The City will use its permit review process to encourage the protection of important buildings and other properties. The City would prefer that such buildings and properties not be removed or substantially altered unless there are no feasible alternatives and available incentives to ensure their economic viability and use.
2. An inventory of locally significant historic resources. The city, in collaboration with community organizations interested in historic preservation, will conduct this inventory.
The inventory could include residential and commercial buildings, bridges, monuments, parks, and other features associated with important elements of the community's past.
Buildings associated with the agricultural history of Gridley such as rice dyers and processing plants could also be included on the local list. This inventory will serve as a record and acknowledgement of buildings and structures with historic significance to be considered in City actions or approvals involving these properties. The inventory work could also lead to the establishment of one or more historic districts withinthe city where features are especially concentrated.
3. Historic district overlay. The City will coordinate with community organizations, locally knowledgeable preservationists and historians, and property owners to identify one or more areas of the City that might qualify as a historic district according to state and/or federal guidelines. With the agreement of property owners in such areas, the City may establish one or more historic overlay districts. Areas covered by this overlay would be based on the results of the inventory and collaboration with property owners and interested community organizations. Such areas could include portions of Downtown and surrounding residential neighborhoods. If created, one or more overlay districts would be incorporated into the City's Zoning Ordinance and include standards for proposals affecting potentially historic buildings that encourage preservation over changes to properties that may reduce their historic value.
4. Guidelines and regulatory incentives. The city will evaluate a variety of otherpotential tools to encourage historic preservation. These tools include a landmark ordinance, a historic preservation commission, and use of the State Historical Building Code in place of the California Building Code. A city historic preservation commission could be permanently or temporarily established to review proposed demolition or exterior remodel work for consistency with city standards.
22 | July, 2023
5. Funding for financial assistance. The city will consider a variety of funding sources to provide financial assistance for historic preservation, including Redevelopment Agency funding, nonprofit funding, and State and federal government funding. The city will consider funding sources and tax relief such as the Mills Act, Marks Historical Rehabilitation Act, the Seismic Bond Act, and the Community Development Block Grant Program.
6. Education and awareness. The city will promote awareness of the cultural andeconomic benefits of historic preservation by sponsoring or co-sponsoring workshops or similar public meetings.
• No action has been taken to develop an historic preservation overlay, policy, design requirements or other program to identify and work towards the preservation of historic structures in the Downtown area or residential location such as "Silk Row", etc.
Community Character Implementation Strategy 1.2
The City will review and condition projects, as necessary, to comply with Secretary of Interior standards for historic preservation and State Historical Building Code (§18950 to 18961 of Division 13, Part 2.7 of Health and Safety Code), as applicable. • The review process works with developers on a case-by-case basis to protect historical sites as possible. Where significant damage has occurred, the city supports reconstruction that will have similar features.
• The 2030 General Plan Update describes the ages of structures in the Downtown area and other privately owned residential structures that would benefit by utilizing the Historic Structures Building Code.
• Implementation Strategy 1.2 is on-going in its discussion of direction the city wishes to take in the requirements necessary to renovate aged structures.
Neighborhoods
Community Character Implementation Strategy 2.1
Following adoption of the General Plan, the city will review projects for consistency with the Community Character Design Element. The city will also consider preparation of a Design Manual or Design Guidelines to implement the Community Character and Design Element. This document would provide more detail for new development than policies in the Community Character and Design Element. The City's Design Guidelines should have chapters illustrating the City's design vision for single-family residential development, multiple-family residential projects, small- and large-scale commercial development, industrial development, Downtown Gridley, and other important areas of the city.
• In 2016, the City Council adopted Infill Design Guidelines providing details and design elements to be used in the renovation of existing structures and new construction. • Implementation Strategy 2.1 has been completed.
23 | July, 2023
Community Character Implementation Strategy 2.2
The city will revise the Zoning Ordinance and Public Works Construction Standards, as necessary, to accommodate well-designed, compact development projects, consistent with the General Plan. For example, the city will consider amending the Zoning Ordinance to reduce the front yard setback to 15 feet or similar for the primary residence and 20 feet or similar for garages.
• Reference Land Use Implementation Strategy 2.1.
• The Planning Department allows the reduction of setbacks on a case-by-case basis. New subdivisions may incorporate a Planned Development Overlay. • The city adopted four lot sizes to accommodate compact development in the R-1 zone. • The state legislation adopted by SB9 allows standard single-family lots to be split and to have multi- family in the form of duplexes or adu’s without density calculation Community Character Implementation Strategy 2.3
The city will require projects proposed within the Residential, High Density 1 and 2 land use designations to submit a Planned Development Overlay application. The City will implement the Planned Development provisions in the Zoning Ordinance to encourage high-quality residential projects and allow flexible development standards.
• Reference Land Use Implementation Strategy 3.1.
Community Character Implementation Strategy 2.4
The city will continue to support neighborhood conservation and housing rehabilitation through the City's Community Development Block Grant program.
• Implementation Strategy 2.4 is on-going.
Community Character Implementation Strategy 3.1
The city will revise the Zoning Ordinance following the General Plan update and will revise the Public Works Construction Standards, as needed, to implement the General Plan. Among the revisions to provide consistency with the General Plan, the city will ensure that parking standards for Neighborhood Centers are minimized to encourage a pedestrian-friendly environment. The city will create a new zoning district designation to implement the Neighborhood Center Mixed Use land use designation, ensuring that outdoor dining and seating is allowed. The City will consider providing street design criteria that may be used in Neighborhood Centers for angled parking provision in-lieu of surface parking lots. The City will consider establishing standards requiring shorter block lengths and development standards allowing shallower setbacks within Neighborhood Centers to encourage a pedestrian-friendly environment.
• Reference Land Use Implementation Strategy 2.1.
24 | July, 2023

The City will review the location and design of parks in the context of ongoing project review, in part, to ensure consistency with policies in this Community Character and Design Element. • New subdivisions are required to meet the policies and acreage requirements.
Additionally, park area is dedicated to the city that is in addition to joint use detention facilities.
• Implementation 4.1 is on-going.
Downtown
Community Character Implementation Strategy 5.1
The city will revise the Zoning Ordinance following adoption of the 2030 General Plan. As a part of these revisions, the city will create a zoning district or districts to implement the Downtown Mixed Use land use designation. The allowable land uses for the Downtown Mixed-Use land use designation are described in the Land Use Element. Relevant design components are described in the Community Character and Design Element and Circulation Element. As a part of these revisions, the City will ensure that residential uses are allowed by right on second stories and above Downtown and on the ground floor when designed to appear as a storefront.
• Implementation Strategy 5.1 is complete.
Community Character Implementation Strategy 5.2
Following adoption of the 2030 General Plan, the City will consult with Downtown property owners and consider adding flexibility in the entitlement process, as necessary, to encourage Downtown redevelopment. The City will consider eliminating unnecessary restrictions on land use and other unnecessary limitations. This may require revisions to the Zoning Ordinance, Public Works Construction Standards, and the Subdivision Ordinance. For example, the city will make revisions to the Zoning Ordinance necessary to encourage an active public realm by encouraging outdoor dining at the street level. Thecity may consider adopting a Design Manual or Design Guidelines, if needed, to provide additional illustrated examples of appropriate site planning and building design Downtown.
• Reference Land Use Strategy 2.1 and Community Character Implementation Strategy
2.1. Community Character Implementation Strategy 5.3
The Zoning Ordinance may need to be revised or supplemented with design guidelines to provide illustrated examples of allowable project design. The City's development review approach for Downtown should still include restrictions related to the specific use of land, but positive examples of the City's vision could also be helpful to developers and property owners. • Reference Land Use Strategy 2.1.
25 | July, 2023
Community Character Implementation Strategy 5.4
The city will encourage or proactively participate in the redevelopment of the vacant site at the entrance to the Downtown on Hazel and Virginia Streets. Two-story construction and respect for the architectural details of the adjacent historical building including the window height and proportion should be encouraged for a new building or buildings on this site. • The city continues to support the Implementation Strategy 5.4.
Community Character Implementation Strategy 6.1
Following adoption of the General Plan, the City will revise the City sign ordinance to include separate sign regulations for the Downtown. These regulations will be designedto reinforce the qualities that distinguish the central business district from other commercial areas within the community. The ordinance will be revised to ensure that signage enhances, rather than detracts from the attractiveness of Downtown.
• In 2016, the Zoning Ordinance was amended to include additional signage for the Downtown area such blade signs to provide additional character. • Implementation Strategy 6.1 has been completed; however, it is also on-going as we continue to work to refine the zoning code to meet present development demands.
Community Character Implementation Strategy 6.2
As funding is available, the city will construct pedestrian oriented way-finding signage Downtown with a consistent theme. Themes in Downtown way-finding signage should relate to signage used along Highway 99 to direct visitors Downtown. • After adoption of the 2030 General Plan, wayfinding signage to the Downtown Area, schools, hospitals and city hall were erected.
• Implementation Strategy 6.2 is complete. As signage ages, it is anticipated that it will be replaces as needed.

Agriculture
Conservation Implementation Strategy 1.1
The city will adopt a "right to farm" ordinance (or adopt the Butte County Right to Farm ordinance, as appropriate) that informs residents of ongoing agricultural practices at the edges of Gridley and protects farmers and other agriculture interests from dumping, nuisance complaints, and other problems typically associated with new residents on the city fringe. The notice should advise new residents of potential mosquito abatement programs by the Butte County Mosquito and Vector Control District in the surrounding area. The city will coordinate with Butte County regarding the contents of the county's Right to Farm Ordinance to develop consistency, where appropriate.
29 | July, 2023
• Title 17, Zoning Code, has not been amended to provide a "right to farm" ordinance.
The code has an Agricultural Overlay District that we provide at no charge in order to allow lands that have been approved for development but not yet underway, farming may continue.
Conservation Implementation Strategy 1.2
The city will coordinate with the County, nearby cities, the Department of Conservation, and other interested agencies to establish a regional agricultural land mitigation fee and conservation program. Such a program should support farmers and agriculture property owners alike in identifying areas of the county with rich soils and where long-term agricultural operations will be preserved.
For development requiring annexation, the applicant should either directly preserve, through a conservation easement, or pay on a fair-share basis into a program to preserve permanently a similar amount and quality of farmland. The mitigation program should consider lower preservation ratios for agricultural land preservation within Butte County and higher ratios for preservation outside Butte County, in order to provide substantial incentives for local agricultural preservation. In addition, some portion of the impact fees should support agricultural extension, research, value-added programs, direct marketing of local agricultural products, and other efforts that would support local agricultural productivity. Agricultural mitigation fees could be applied toward research and development of agriculture-related renewable and sustainable energy sources.
The city will tie its agricultural land mitigation fee and conservation program to the regional approach, once developed. In-lieu fees for use in this agricultural mitigation program should be based on a city approved Nexus Study. The city will consider formalizing the agricultural mitigation program in an ordinance, if appropriate.
• Implementation Strategy 1.2 has not yet been initiated.

The drainage master plan will be designed to move away from individual site drainage requirements to an areawide approach for the Planned Growth Area, consistent with the General Plan. Although the focus for the natural drainage system is on the Planned Growth Area, the city will look for opportunities to expand these concepts into the existing developed City,also.
The drainage master plan will be designed to handle specified storm events and deliver predevelopment flows to the reclamation districts under post-development conditions.
Construction of the Planned Growth Area stormwater management system will be phased in a way that provides adequate drainage as the area builds out. Temporary detention facilities may be necessary.
The drainage master plan will emphasize the use of drainage swales to convey runoff although piping may be used in combination with swales, as appropriate, in the Planned Growth Area.
The drainage master plan will be coordinated with the location of future parks so that excess stormwater can be detained and infiltrated within open playfield areas: Linear open space corridors themselves may also be designed to detain and infiltrate stormwater runoff.
Preservation and restoration of agricultural drainage ditches should consider habitat value, sensitive species, and water quality objectives (see the Conservation Element). The City will explore whether mitigation fees through regional habitat conservation planning or grants from other government agencies could be made available to fund restoration elements of the City's open space strategy.
The drainage master plan will coordinate with a Nexus Fee Study to allow fair-share contribution to drainage improvements. The Nexus Fee Study should consider efficiencies created through co-location of linear parkland, trails, drainage, and buffering. Drainage fees should be structured to provide incentives for use of low impact development stormwater management best practices (see also the Conservation Element).

The city will consider long-term public health, state and federal standards, and cost/benefits to residents in future investments in the water system. The city will proactively pursue grant programs to finance water supply improvements, and will coordinate with other local agencies and special districts, where necessary to address water quality or supply problems. • Implementation Strategy 1.1 is on-going
Public Facilities Implementation Strategy 1.2
The city will direct extension of the city's water system to serve the Planned Growth Area, consistent with the policy direction in this General Plan. To assist with implementation, the city will consider drafting a water master plan to identify phased improvements to the city' s infrastructure, costs, and financing strategies for extending water infrastructure to the Planned Growth Area. The city will also consider including in this master plan updates to water infrastructure and facilities planning in the existing Sphere of Influence and the Planned Growth Area, covering the same topics. The city will identify water flow requirements including water flow rate (gallons per minute) and duration, which may vary throughout a community by building area and construction type. The water master plan will identify candidate well sites in the Planned Growth Area, as well as pumping, the location of water mains, fire hydrants, new storage tanks, and other components of the water infrastructure. The city will consider priority upgrades in the existing City to maintain pressure or supply. The water master plan will be coordinated with capital improvements planning and development impact fee programs.
Financing of the water system shall be on a per-capita or other fair-share basis, per State law.
Smaller housing units with fewer bedrooms and faucets, homes with smaller yards, and other types of development that would have lower demand for water, should contribute proportionally less in development impact fees, as appropriate. • Implementation Strategy 1.2 is on-going.
Public Facilities Implementation Strategy 1.3
The city will maintain a plan for emergency response to disruption in water supply. This plan will also review vulnerability of source and delivery and distribution systems to events, such as regional power outages and system failures. The city will maintain a notification plan for both personnel and residents in case of emergency.
• Reference Public Facilities Implementation Strategy 1.1, and Safety Implementation Strategy 1.1.
Public Facilities Implementation Strategy 1.4
43 | July, 2023
During implementation of the 2030 General Plan (present to 2030), the city will coordinate with area irrigation districts and other water purveyors to examine any surface water supply options.
Among other options, the city will coordinate with Butte Water District to investigate surplus water availability. State water law will dictate to a large degree the City's ability to obtain surface water supply and effectively create a conjunctive surface/groundwater water system.
Implementing a conjunctive water system inGridley could also be very expensive. In determining the feasibility of conjunctive use,the City will examine environmental and public health benefits and impacts and the long- term costs and benefits for residents of Gridley before implementing this program. Any future conjunctive use program should be consistent with policies in Gridley's Urban Water Management Plan, once developed (see the Conservation Element). • Implementation Strategy 1.4 has not yet been initiated.
Public Facilities Implementation Strategy 2.1
Following adoption of the General Plan, the city will identify wastewater improvements necessary to serve development in the 2030 General Plan. The city will require wastewater demand analysis for new development, using City endorsed peaking factors and other methodology.
The city will continue with capital improvements necessary to accommodate future development through build-out of the city's sphere outlined in the city’s Wastewater System Capacity Analysis. The city will continue with plans to expand wastewater treatment plant and add conveyance capacity to the WWTP. The city will continue current plans to expand the city's waste discharge to 1.7 mgd ADWF (treatment capacity for an additional 2,600 EDUs} The city will install groundwater monitoring, as necessary, to ensure against impacts of wastewater treatment. The city will plan for additional wastewater treatment plant expansion needs following General Plan adoption, as necessary. The city will continue plans to construct new gravity and force mains and pump stations to direct flow around the city. The city will consider a second parallel force main crossing the Feather River at the bridge to the north of the WWTP after examining the condition of existing sewer mains under the river. The city will examine the sewer collection pipe on the west end of Sycamore Street and other problem areas in the city and identify phased improvements, as feasible. The city will examine remaining sewer line capacity in areas east of State Route 99 compared to development potential and identify cost effective solutions to expand conveyance capacity in this area, as feasible.
The city will phase wastewater capacity and infrastructure improvements consistent with the General Plan and, as required, to provide efficiencies in service. The city will coordinate wastewater treatment planning with the RWQCB using groundwater basin plan objectives. The city will proactively pursue grant funding from SWRCB, the Small Community Grant program, other federal/state sources for wastewater improvements.
Wastewater improvements will be financed in new growth areas on a fair-share basis according to expected population and treatment demand of new projects. The city will consider available techniques to improve wastewater effluent, including but not limited to: 1) limit on the 44 | July, 2023
strength and contaminant levels of industrial and commercial wastewater; 2) increased rates or surcharges on high-strength wastes; and/or 3) incentives or requirements for water recycling and reuse within the industrial or commercial operation. • Implementation Strategy 1.1 is on-going.
• The Municipal Services Review, 2009/2010 identified deficiencies that needed to be mitigated and upgrades constructed. These have been done and the city has capacity for future development at this time. The city has contracted to have the MSR updated. • The WWTP has been upgraded to have 1.7mgd Average Dry Weather Flow Capacity.
The city is actively seeking and has acquired funding, as described, for evaluation, repairs, and upgrades of the gravity and force main pipes. The pipe under the river is under way for design and replacement
• The second pipe on the bridge is not feasible at this time due to the condition of the pipe and cost for new Fm alignment.
Public Facilities Implementation Strategy 2.2
The City will maintain a Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) consistent with State Water Resources Control Board policies. The City's SSMP will identify sewer capacity, management, operations, and maintenance plans. The SSMP will be consistent with other City wastewater plans, prioritizing infrastructure investments needed to address any existing deficiencies. • Implementation Strategy 2.2 is on-going. Currently, the city has maintained a SSMP and will continue to review and identify any issues that arise.
Public Facilities Implementation Strategy 2.3
The city will submit a groundwater quality study report to the RWQCB comparing the groundwater quality at locations both up-gradient and down-gradient from the city’s wastewater percolation ponds. The city will evaluate nitrate levels and other applicable constituents. The city will plan for upgrades to a tertiary level of treatment at the WWTP, as necessary.
• Implementation Strategy 2.3 is on-going.
• The city has monitoring wells in place and test for nitrates/nitrites. A study would be prepared at the time of permit renewal.
Public Facilities Implementation Strategy 2.4
The city will monitor and inspect the condition of its wastewater system and perform routine cleaning, as required, during General Plan buildout.
• Implementation Strategy 2.4 is on-going.
Public Facilities Implementation Strategy 2.5
45 | July, 2023
The city will consider recommendations from the Wastewater System Capacity Analysis to analyze and improve infiltration and inflow problems in the existing City. The city will review peaking factors for the east and west side tributary gravity flow mains to isolate the location of I/I problems. The city will explore opportunities to improve wastewater infrastructure downtown inflow locations and make corrective measures, as funding is available. The city will consider such measures as pipeline rehabilitation, manhole cover replacement, and root eradication, repairing service lines, uncapped cleanouts and exterior drains, public education, incentives, and regulatory strategies.
• Implementation Strategy 2.5 is on-going
Drainage
Public Facilities Implementation Strategy 3.1
Following the adoption of the 2030 General Plan, the city will update the existing or prepare a new drainage master plan to address the Planned Growth Area. The drainage master plan will be designed to move away from individual site drainage requirements to an area-wide approach for the Planned Growth Area, consistent with the General Plan. Although the focus for the natural drainage system is on the Planned Growth Area, the city will look for opportunities to expand these concepts into the existing developed City.
The drainage master plan will be designed to handle specified storm events and deliver predevelopment flows to the reclamation districts under post-development conditions.
Construction of the Planned Growth Area stormwater management system will be phasedin a way that provides adequate drainage as the area builds out. Temporary detention facilities may be necessary.
The drainage master plan will emphasize the use of drainage swales to convey runoff although piping may be used in combination with swales, as appropriate, in the Planned Growth Area.
The drainage master plan will be coordinated with the location of future parks so that excess stormwater can be detained and infiltrated within open playfield areas. Linear open space corridors themselves may also be designed to detain and infiltrate stormwater runoff.
Preservation and restoration of agricultural drainage ditches should consider habitat value, sensitive species, and water quality objectives (see the Conservation Element). The City will explore whether mitigation fees through regional habitat conservation planning or grants from other government agencies could be made available to fund restoration elements of the City's open space strategy.
The drainage master plan will coordinate with a Nexus Fee Study to allow fair-share contribution to drainage improvements. The Nexus Fee Study should consider efficiencies created through co-location of linear parkland, trails, drainage, and buffering. Drainage fees should be structured to provide incentives for use of low impact development stormwater management best practices (see also the Conservation Element). 46 | July, 2023
The city may require formation of one or more maintenance districts or some other approach to long-term operational funding for drainage facilities in the Planned Growth Area. • Reference Open Space Implementation Strategy 1.1.
• Reference Land Use Implementation Strategy 2.3.
Public Facilities Implementation Strategy 3.2
The city will coordinate with local agencies and special districts to draft a comprehensive regional drainage plan to address urban growth in the southern and western portions of Butte County and northern Sutter County, as feasible. Such a drainage plan should include mitigation fees or other funding mechanisms to provide the needed facilities. • Implementation Strategy 3.2 is on-going.
Public Facilities Implementation Strategy 3.3
The City will coordinate on an ongoing basis with drainage districts in the vicinity as these districts work to address channel capacity, lack of pumping capacity, or lack of capacity in downstream discharge waterways.
• Implementation Strategy 3.3 is on-going.
Electricity
Public Facilities Implementation Strategy 4.1
The City Electric Utility and Department will monitor the adequacy of infrastructure serving the City and Sphere of Influence, including changes to the City's Sphere of Influence made following the 2030 General Plan update. The city will plan for long- range infrastructure needs, including a new substation to serve planned growth under the General Plan. The city will review the distribution system to assess system infrastructure needs and to propose a plan of action to the city based on findings. The city will consider preparing and/or updating an electricity master plan to identify needed improvements, phasing, and financing, if appropriate. The city will consider any changesto the electrical infrastructure or electrical facilities planning are needed to encourage development and use in Gridley of renewable energy. • The city constructed a substation at the electrical yard which provided redundancy and protection of existing systems.
• New development will add infrastructure to serve its subdivisions.
Public Facilities Implementation Strategy 4.2
The city will prepare a Nexus Fee Study and update impact fees following adoption of the General Pian, including those that address electrical infrastructure. The City's Nexus Fee Study and update to impact fees should include an analysis of energy procurement and distribution 47 | July, 2023
costs. Fees will be on a fair-share basis, considering estimated demand for new development.
For newly developing properties that include energy conservation techniques beyond those required by building codes, the city will examine whether reduced impact fees would be appropriate.
• Reference Land Use Implementation Strategy 2.3.
Police, Fire, and Emergency Response
Public Facilities Implementation Strategy 5.1
Following General Plan adoption, the city will monitor new growth in light of the city's policies for staffing levels and response time and make investments, as required, to maintain level of service. The city will consider additional non-sworn staff to address accidents and traffic, plus a canine unit to assist with drug enforcement.
• Implementation Strategy 5.1 is on-going.
• The city has a canine unit and is reviewing the Department demands related to development in the Planned Growth Area.
Public Facilities Implementation Strategy 5.2
The city will consider establishing or supporting community outreach programs that encourage residents to be proactive in crime prevention. Such programs could include, but are not limited to neighborhood watch, youth outreach programs, and other community-based programs. • Implementation Strategy 5.2 is on-going.
• The police department recently added community service officers and added a Gridley Unified District liaison from Gridley PD.
Public Facilities Implementation Strategy 6.1
The city will monitor growth under the 2030 General Plan and coordinate with CALFIRE and the Butte County Fire Department to ensure adequate staffing, fire stations, and equipment to provide fire suppression services consistent with City policy. The city will coordinate with the City of Biggs on siting of a fire station in the northern portion of the Planned Growth Area, as appropriate.
• Implementation Strategy 6.1 is on-going.
Solid Waste
Public Facilities Implementation Strategy 7.1
The city will implement recycling education programs for residents designed to promote source reduction, recycling, and composting to decrease Gridley's waste stream. • Implementation Strategy 7.1 is on-going.
48 | July, 2023
• The city has one recycling facility.
• The waste management provides support to the city as a liaison and educational outreach to reduce the waste stream.
Library
Public Facilities Implementation Strategy 8.1
The city will coordinate with Butte County to identify funding sources for development of new library facilities and expansion of existing facilities. The city will coordinate with the County on local expansion plans and siting of new library facilities, with a guideline of providing 0.5 square feet of public library space per capita as the city grows. The city will consider development impact fees for library services, as well as other revenue sharing with the County and other existing and future sources of revenue for library facilities and services. To the extent that jointuse libraries in schools can provide services to the City during General Plan buildout, any library related development impact fees would be proportionally lower. • Implementation Strategy 8.1 has not been initiated.
• Review of development plans for the Planned Growth Area will consider this strategy.
Schools
Public Facilities Implementation Strategy 9.1
During General Plan buildout, the city will involve the school district proactively in development proposals, and will cooperatively monitor housing, population and enrollment trends, and to evaluate the effects of those trends on future school facility needs. The city will provide information to the School District to support updates to school facilities plans consistent with the City's General Plan, particularly with respect to the proposed location of future school sites.
The city will proactively coordinate with the School District to create joint-use arrangements for recreational facilities and library facilities. Joint-use facilities could occur on both existing and new school sites. The city will consider potential cost savings in sharing maintenance responsibilities for joint-use facilities.
• Implementation Strategy 9.1 is on-going.
NOISE ELEMENT
Noise Implementation Strategy 1.1
The City will coordinate with Union Pacific Railroad to establish a Quiet Zone within the City limits of Gridley, as feasible. As funding is available, the city will improve crossings with appropriate technologies to implement the Quiet Zone. The city will coordinate with Union Pacific to reduce or eliminate the use of horns in noise-sensitive areas of the community with the installation of alternative crossing devices.
• Implementation Strategy 1.1 is on-going.
• The city has not had successful dialogue with UPRR to limit the use of horns. 49 | July, 2023
• UPRR has upgraded road crossings.
Noise Implementation Strategy 2.1
The City will update implementing ordinances related to noise consistent with the policies of this element. These updates are anticipated to be relatively minor since the city recently updated the noise ordinance. The City will consider adding restrictions on construction activities for Saturdays (in addition to Sundays and holidays). The city will use numerical standards outlined in this element to make revisions, as necessary, to the Municipal Code. The City will adopt a noise permitting ordinance for special events not exempted by General Plan policy. Applicants for such permits must provide an outline of the event, including hours of operation, reasons why the additional noise is temporarily acceptable, and strategies that will be used to reduce noise to the lowest possible level, especially during noise-sensitive times of day (early morning, evening, nighttime).
• Implementation Strategy 2.1 is on-going.
Noise Implementation Strategy 2.2
The city will ensure that personnel charged with enforcing noise-related ordinances are properly trained and equipped for on-site measurement techniques and other necessary tasks.
Enforcing personnel should use a properly calibrated Type-II or better sound level meter for situations that require numerical measurements. The measuring instrument shall be placed at
4.5 to 6 feet above the ground on the property boundary in question. The measurement shall be taken in A-weighted decibels and shall be measured for no less than 15 minutes. • Implementation Strategy 2.2 is on-going.
Noise Implementation Strategy 2.3
The City will use policies in this Noise Element, including those standards described in Tables Noise-I, Noise-2, Noise-3, and Noise-4 in assessing environmental impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act.
• Implementation Strategy 2.3 is on-going.

To: Mayor and City Council
From: Cliff Wagner, City Administrator
Subject: Consideration of Proposal to Authorize City Administrator to Negotiate Final Settlement of Funds Due to City of Gridley Under Assignment for Benefit of Creditors Filed by Rio Pluma Company LLC, Dated February 25, 2022
Recommendation
City staff respectfully recommends the Council authorize the City Administrator, of behalf of the City of Gridley, to negotiate and sign the final settlement of funds due to the City of Gridley by Rio Pluma Company LLC in an amount equal to or greater than $230,000 to recover outstanding water, sewer discharge, and electric service costs.
Background
The Stapleton-Spence Packing Co., Inc has operated a food processing plant at the Rio Pluma facility located at 1900 CA-99, Gridley, CA since 1999. This facility has operated under Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit per Gridley Municipal Code Section 13.06. since beginning operations. According to the administrative record, Rio Pluma Co. LLC submitted its original Report of Wastewater Discharge on November 20, 1998, to the California Regional Water Quality Control Board Central Valley Region, who issued Waste Discharge Requirements pursuant to Order No. 99-074. Rio Pluma Co. LLC originally proposed to process 12,000 tons of prunes annually and generate approximately 100,000 gallons per day (GPD) of untreated wastewater.
Since initiating operations, Rio Pluma Co. LLC experienced a series of wastewater discharge compliance issues which resulted in the City of Gridley issuing a series of Notice of Violation (NOV), each being remediated over time. The most recent NOV being dated December 15, 2021, and totaling $1,417,020.12.
In the weeks following the most recent NOV, Rio Pluma Co. LLC underwent a change in local management, which ultimately determined that continued operations were no longer possible and on January 18, 2022, Mr. Ed Bidanset, CEO/President of Rio Pluma Co. LLC notified the City of Gridley and others that they would be ceasing operations within 60 days, with a closure target date of March 19, 2022.
On March 15, 2022, the city received the Notice of General Assignment to Creditors announcing Rio Pluma Co. LLC Chapter 7 filing and detailing the claims process for creditors. On June 24, 2022, City Attorney Tony Galyean filed the City of Gridley’s Proof of Claim form to preserve the City’s interests relative to Pluma Co. LLC’s Chapter 7 process.
According to Mr. Ed Bidanset, Rio Pluma Co. LLC has spent over $800,000 to decommission the onsite wastewater pond and to receive a temporary closure permit from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board Central Valley Region (Attachment D).
X Regular
Special
Closed
Emergency
Customarily, the intent of regulatory fines and penalties is to achieve compliance. In this case, staff believes that compliance has been achieved by way of the clean up and decommissioning of the on-site wastewater pond and recommends the city suspend the administrative fine and the associated 30 day penalty totaling a combined $1,176,250.
This action would allow the city to continue its primary claim recover outstanding water, sewer discharge, and electric service costs.
Financial Impact:
There are no negative impacts to the budget as the recovery of revenue. The recovery will increase revenue in water, sewer and electric enterprise funds and also decrease the write-off of bad-debt accounts within those enterprise funds.

NOTICE OF VIOLATIONS AND ASSESSMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE FINES FOR INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER DISCHARGE PERMIT NO. 2016-17-001, 2017-18-001, AND 2018-19-001 (INLCUDING 2019-2020), 2020-21-001, STAPLETON-SPENCE PACKING CO., INC., CITY OF GRIDLEY, BUTTE COUNTY
The Stapleton-Spence Packing Co., Inc. (Discharger) discharges treated wastewater from the Rio Pluma facility (Facility) located at 1900 CA-99, Gridley, CA 95948, to the City of Gridley sewer system. The Facility is regulated by the Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit issued by the City of Gridley (City), on an annual basis beginning July 1 of each year.
The Discharger has been repeatedly notified of violations to the issued discharge permits and City Municipal Code. The City has determined that the Discharger repeatedly violated effluent limitations contained in Permit No. 2016-17-001, 2017-18-001, and 2018-19-001 (also for year 2019-2020), 2020-21-001, and Section 13.06 of the Gridley Code of Ordinances. The City has determined that the Discharger has been operating without a valid permit from July 1, 2021, until the issuance of the Cease-and-Desist Order issued on December 1, 2021.
The repeated nature of the violation is of great concern to the City of Gridley. The lack of effort by the Discharger to obtain a valid permit, take corrective actions to pretreatment to meet discharge requirements, maintain operable equipment, meet reporting schedules, perform required routine sampling and repeat sampling, maintain discharge requirement compliance, notify the City of process changes, notify the City of violations as they occur, and the proven disregard for permit requirements has resulted in the City's evaluation of violations and assessment of fines.
Due to the ongoing lack of compliance after repeated notifications and adequate time allowed for correction to be made, City staff has determined the Discharger violated permit requirements for the period between January 1, 2017 and December 1, 2021. Attachment #1 of this Notice of Violation (NOV) explains the basis for determining the violations and shows the proposed assessment of administrative fines in the amount of $941,000 to be paid to the City of Gridley.
These fines are to be paid in full prior to the issuance of an Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit. 1 of 2
Attachment A
Per the City of Gridley Code of Ordinances Section 13.06.500 Administrative Fines A. When the Director of Public Works finds that a user has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this chapter, an industrial wastewater discharge permit or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, the Director of Public Works may fine such user in an amount not to exceed $1,000. Such fines shall be assessed on a per violation, per day basis. In the case of monthly or other long term average discharge limits, fínes shall be assessed for each day during the period of violation.
B. Unpaid charges, fines, and penalties shall, after thirty (30) calendar days, be assessed an additional penalty of 25 percent (25%) of the unpaid balance, and interest shall accrue thereafter at a rate of
0.83 percent (0.83%) per month. A lien against the user's property will be sought for unpaid charges, fínes, and penalties.
C. Users desiring to dispute such fines must file a written request for the Director of Public Works to reconsider the fine along with full payment of the fine amount within thirty (30) days of being notified of the fine. Where a request has merit, the Director of Public Works may convene a hearing on the matter. In the event the user's appeal is successful, the payment, together with any interest accruing thereto, shall be returned to the user. The Director of Public Works may add the costs of preparing administrative enforcement actions, such as notices and orders, to the fine.
D. Issuance of an administrative fine shall not be a bar against, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action against the user.

Subject: Stapleton Spence - DRAFT
Gentleman,
Good morning.
Below is a brief overview of the pond clean-up process at Stapleton Spence.
We engaged US Ecology - hereinafter referred to as "NRC" on June 19, 2022, for services related to waste consolidation, transportation and disposal from our site in Gridley, CA.
From June thru December 2022, NRC pumped from the pond either freely or by adding water from the city fire hydrant to a tanker truck and transported the waste to a site within 2 hours of Gridley for disposal. Our monthly invoice averaged $50K per month for 6 months.
Then the winter rains came, and the pond probably gained 2 feet of rainwater, the land in front of the pond needed additional fill in the driveway due to the mud.... thus, a delay till mid-January when we started to pump again.
During this time, I had to acquire a hard money loan from a private party as the shareholders declined to help finance the project. Additionally, because of the heavy rains the state disposal site I had been using refused to accept my discharge, thus we found a second site an additional 1.5 hours further away. At this time, we obtained permission to pump the brown water into the city system (after samples had been taken) and we switched to fracking trucks to dispose of the waste.
From January 2023, thru the middle of May 2023 NRC worked to empty the pond and then fill it back with 6 inches of fresh water. This process required additional equipment, more men and a further distance to travel and averaged $100K per month,
The California waterboard has inspected the pond and is in the process of issuing a temporary closure permit. At the July board meeting they will officially approve the closure (certificate of closure and decommission in August).
The potential buyer will not require a discharge pond for his operation.
I wish to thank David Hardin the city engineer and Cliff Wagner the city administrator for all of their help and guidance thru this process.
Best wishes,
Ed Bidanset

On February 18, 2022 Stapleton-Spence Packing Co. ("Assignor") voluntarily delivered to SP Tot LLC ("SP LLC") its General Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors (the "General Assignment"). The General Assignment to SP LLC was for the purpose of conducting an orderly corporate liquidation. SP LLC accepted the General Assignment on February 1$, 2022.
The General Assignment ís governed by various California statutes and by case law and is an alternative to Chapter 7 liquidation in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Experience has demonstrated that the recovery of assets ís usually much greater in a General Assignment as opposed to bankruptcy and that is the creditors who benefit.
SP LLC is in the process of winding Assignor's operations and is moving to sell Assignor's assets in the near future. Please contact SP LLC immediately to determine whether your account will be terminated immediately or will remain open until the cessation of operations.

Assignment
An assignment for the benefit of creditors is
an insolvency action taken under state law,
whereby the insolvent entity ("Assignor")
transfers legal and equitable title, as well as
custody and control, of all of its property, to a
third party ("Assignee") in trust, to apply the
proceeds of sale to the Assignor's creditors in
accord with priorities established by taw.
Assignee
Assignee is the person or special purpose
entity that has been appointed by the assignor.
Assignor
Assignor is the corporation, or other entity
that has undertaken the assignment.
Bar Date
The Bar Date is the date established in the
assignment notice by which all claims must
be submitted.
Creditor
A creditor is a person, corporation, or other
entity to whom assignor owes a debt that was
incurred prior to the date of the assignment.
DEFINIT[ONS
Claim
A claim is the creditor's right to assert a claim for a debt owed by the assignor as of the date of the
assignment. A claim may be secured, unsecured or for
equity.
Proof of Claim
A proof of claim is a form used by the creditor to
indicate the amount of the debt owed by the assignor on the date of the assignment. The creditor must 61e the
form with the assignee prior to claims deadline (the
"Bar Date")
Secured Claim
A secured claim is one backed by a lien on property of
the assignor. The claim is secured so long as the
creditor has the right to be paid from the property prior to other creditors. The amount of the secured claim
cannot exceed the value of the property. Any amount
owed to the creditor in excess of the value of the
property is an unsecured claim. Examples of liens on
property include a mortgage on real estate or a security interest in a car. A lien may be voluntarily granted by a assignor or may be obtained through a court
proceeding. In some states, a court judgment is a lien. A claim also may be secured if the creditor owes the
assignor money (has a right to setoff).
Unsecured Claim
An unsecured claim is one that does not meet the
requirements of a secured claim. A claim may be partly
unsecured if the amount of the claim exceeds the value
of the property on which the creditor has a lien.
Claim Entitled to Priority
Priority claims are certain categories of unsecured claims that aze paid from the available money or property in an assignment before other unsecured claims.
Evidence of Perfection
Evidence of perfection may include a mortgage, lien,
certificate of title, financing statement, or other
document showing that the lien has been filed or
recorded.
