STAFF REPORT
DATE: FEBRUARY 3, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROD BUTLER, CITY MANAGER
BY: JOE PEREZ, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM NO. 11.H

ISSUANCE OF PUBLIC REPORT PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE
SECTION 65858(D) REGARDING INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 2022-02 ESTABLISHING REGULATIONS RELATED TO URBAN LOT

SPLITS AND HOUSING UNITS BUILT IN ACCORDANCE WITH SENATE BILL 9
______________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council issue this report pursuant to Government Code Section 65858(d).

BACKGROUND
Government Code Section 65858(d) requires that “ten days prior to the expiration or extension of any interim zoning ordinance, the legislative body [City Council] must issue a written report describing the measures taken to alleviate the condition which led to the adoption of the ordinance.” On January 20, 2022, pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, the Jurupa Valley City Council enacted Interim Urgen cy Ordinance No. 2022 -02 to impose a moratorium on the approval of applications for housing development projects and urban lot splits permitted by Senate Bill 9, that do not meet the regulations and standards set forth in the ordinance. Absent any additional action by the City Council, the Interim Urgency Ordinance will expire after 45 days on March 6, 2022. However, extra time is necessary to thoroughly research and evaluate a permanent, non -urgency ordinance that updates/amends the Municipal Code establi shing objective land use regulations and technical/design standards pertaining to SB 9 housing development projects and urban lot splits in the City. Therefore, City staff has scheduled and will notice a public hearing for February 17, 2022 so that the C ity Council may consider extending the Interim Urgency Ordinance for a period of 10 months and 15 days, through and including January 20, 2023.

In compliance with Government Code Section 65858(d), the City Council hereby issues this report for Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 2022-02.

RETURN TO AGENDA

Measures taken to alleviate the conditions that led to the adoption of Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 2022-02:

Since the Interim Urgency Ordinance was adopted, City Staff has continued its research on how best to implement SB 9 o n a permanent basis in order to ensure that the City’s semi-rural residential character is maintained while complying with the provisions of SB

9. City staff has begun identifying updates that will specifically address the housing development and design of structures and urban lot splits permitted by SB 9. While considering zoning and subdivision provisions, the City will be evaluating issues identified in the Interim Urgency Ordinance, including the following:

 Research and analyze the standards adopted by other jurisdictions;  Assess the compatibility of proposed structures and subdivisions with existing neighborhoods;
 Identify the potential for applying objective development standards created to address the new construction of multiple-family dwellings;  Determine the adequacy of City infrastructure to provide services including but not limited to the following: water; gas, electrical and cable utilities; sanitation; trash disposal; school capacity; and police and fire services; and
 Evaluate the affordability of housing units that are constructed as a result of SB 9 in Jurupa Valley.

At this time, a preliminary project schedule has been prepared that may include two study sessions with the Planning Commission and public hearings with the Plannin g Commission and City Council. The further evaluation of potential unexpected increases in residential density will be essential to ensure the health, safety and welfare of the community as well as to ensure the efficient and adequate delivery of governmen tal services.

To ensure that regulations are in place while City staff drafts and the Planning Commission and City Council considers the adoption of a permanent ordinance, the Urgency Ordinance will need to be extended. This will serve to protect the City’s unique residential character but also ensures the City’s compliance with SB 9 as set forth in the statute.
