TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROD BUTLER, CITY MANAGER
BY: JOE PEREZ, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM NO. 2.A
STUDY SESSION: MASTER APPLICATION (MA) NO. 22327: PRE - APPLICATION REVIEW (PAR) FOR 25 SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOMES ON 9.7 ACRES LOCATED AT 8600 54 th STREET (APN: 166- 120-001); (APPLICANT: BETA STONE DEVELOPMENT LLC)

RECOMMENDATION

1. That the City Council receive an introduction of the proposed project; and

2. Identify areas of concern and/or request additional information.

STUDY SESSION PROCESS
This agenda item is an opportunity for the applicant to introduce the proposed project to the City Council and receive feedback. The City Council will not take any action on the proposed project. Each City Councilmember will have an opportunity to communicate to the applicant regarding any issues that should be addressed prior to the item be ing reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council at a future public hearing.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant proposes a Planned Unit Development (PUD) to construct a residential community consisting of 25 single-family detached homes on 9.7 acres of vacant land at 8600 54th Street (APN: 166-120-001) with a density of 2.57 dwelling units per acre.

PUDs allow design elements and development standards not otherwise permitted in conventional zones within the City’s Municipal Code. The proposed pro ject would be required to incorporate five (5) out of the nine (9) below-listed mandatory project features to be eligible for a PUD zoning approval. Incorporation of the minimum five (5) mandatory project features does not guarantee an approval of the PUD rezone.

RETURN TO AGENDA

1. Residential clustering that will provide for new neighborhoods combined with abundant open space.

2. Commercial development that provides products or services not currently available within the City.

3. Preservation of abundant natural open space.

4. The project will provide a substantial public amenity, for example, a significant public plaza, a public park, trails or a similar improved open space feature, including provisions for guaranteed long -term maintenance not at the expense of the City.

5. The project includes significant environmental benefits, such as preservation, enhancement and/or creation of a significant natural feature or open spaces with a minimum area of one -half (½) acre.

6. Additional public benefits and project amenities tha t advance the City’s identified objectives and evolving visions as identified in the General Plan and/or any Specific Plans.

7. The project will achieve greater energy efficiency than standard developments through the incorporation of green building techni ques, scoring at least a silver rating on the LEED or other equivalent rating system, or achieving a minimum of thirty (30) percent greater energy efficiency than the minimum required by California Code of Regulations Title 24 .

8. The project provides for a significant saving of water usag e over the life of the project.

9. Stormwater runoff controls .

The proposed community would consist of 25 single-family detached homes on minimum 12,250 ft2 (0.28 acres) lots. The unit mix would consist of 13 two - (2) story homes, and 12 single-story homes with homes ranging in size from 2,648 ft2 to 3,320 ft2.

The community would consist of the following public street improvements and amenities:
improvements to 54 th Street; new streets with landscaped parkways , sidewalks, and streetlights; community trail; and public park. See Exhibit A for the conceptual site plan.

EXHIBIT A: CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN

Page | 3

The proposed project would require the following entitlements:

1. General Plan Amendment: Change General Plan Land Use from Country Neighborhood (Low Density Residential) – 1/2 acre minimum to Medium Density Residential (MDR) – 2 to 5 dwelling units per acre.

2. Change of Zone: Change Zoning from Light Agriculture (A -1) to Planned Unit Development (PUD) Zone.

3. Tentative Tract Map: Subdivide existing 9.7-acre project site into 31 new lots for 25 single -family detached homes , private street s and an alley , common open space, and a drainage basin.

PROJECT LOCATION AND SURROUNDING AREA
The project site is located at 8600 54th Street in the central area of the City. The general neighborhood consists of residential uses ranging in density from 0.4 to three (3) dwelling units per acre, recreational uses, and vacant land. The immediate surrounding land uses include a single-family home and vacant land to the north, and single-family homes to the east, south, and west.

PROJECT DESIGN AND SITE LAYOUT
Architecture, Amenities, and Landscaping
The proposed community would incorporate a mix of American Farmhouse and California Ranch architecture with there being 13 two- (2) story homes, and 12 single-story homes.

No home would exceed 28 feet in height. See Exhibit C for proposed architectural elevations.

EXHIBIT C: PROPOSED ARCHITECTURAL ELEVATIONS

The proposed community would include amenities such as: improvements to 54th Street including a new multi -purpose trail ; new internal streets with available s treet parking; drought tolerant landscaping in the form of ground shrubs, front yard trees, and street trees for beautification and reduction of the heat island effect; walls and privacy fencing; a drainage basin to manage excessive water runoff; and a 0.45 -acre public park. The public park would consist of shaded seating areas, walking paths, fruit trees and bushes, and play equipment for children. The passive recreational features (seating areas & fruits trees) would be located in the western section of the park, and the active recreational features (play equipment) would be located in the eastern section of the park. See Exhibit D for the proposed park.

EXHIBIT D: PROPOSED PUBLIC PARK

Off-Site Improvements, Access, Maintenance
The project site would primarily be accessed from 54th Street with two (2) separate points of ingress and egress. Residents would have full right -of-way (ROW) access (left in/out, right in/out) onto 54 th Street. There would also be a direct pedestrian -only connection to Agate Street from the southern end of the community. No gated entries are proposed.

The City has determined that the proposed internal circulation plan consisting of two (2) main streets looped by a private alley is unacceptable. As proposed, t he internal circulation will likely consist of the two (2) main streets dead ending as cul-de-sacs. The streets would be constructed to a ROW width of 56 feet with one (1) travel lane each way, street parking on both sides, and 10 -foot wide parkways on bot h sides with street trees and sidewalks. Residents would access their driveways directly from the street. It is recommended for landscaping to be adjacent to the curb to serve as a buffer for pedestrians and provide neighborhood beautification.

The proposed project would provide for several off-site improvements. The south side of 54th would be improved with a 10-foot wide parkway for curb and gutter, street trees and street lights, and a 14 -foot wide multi -purpose trail. See Exhibit E for the trail networ k.

The existing terminus of Agate Street south of the project site would also be improved with a cul-de-sac. At the time of development of the parcel(s) to the west of the project site, Agate Street would be extended north and its connection to 54 th Street would be completed.

Page | 6

EXHIBIT E: TRAIL NETWORK

The two (2) main streets, sidewalks, street trees, curbs, gutters, and drainage basin would be publicly owned and maintained through a community facilities district (CFD). The new multi-purpose trail on 54 th Street would be maintained by Jurupa Area Recreation and Parks District (JARPD). The public park would be maintained by the homeowner’s association but would also be accessible to the general public not residing in the proposed development. Individual homeowners would be responsible for the maintenance of their lots and homes.

CORE ISSUES

1. Horse Keeping. The applicant is proposing to construct a Planned Unit Development (PUD). A significant advantage of the PUD zone is that it allows and encourages innovative development projects through the flexible application of development standards. The project site is also located in the Equestrian Lifestyle Protection Overlay (ELO) which encourages new development within its boundaries to accommodate horse keeping, where feasible and appropriate.

There are several zoning classifications within the City that allow horse keeping but a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet is required for new developments , regardless of the zoning classification . Existing Light A griculture (A-1) lots, however, allow one (1) horse on lots that are up to 8,712 square feet in size, up to five (5) horses per acre. The City of Norco also allows one (1) horse on lots that are up to 12,500 square feet in size and zoned Agriculture Low Density (A-1). The lot sizes in the proposed community would range from 12,250 to 12,620 square feet. Given the flexibility of the PUD zone, and the project’s location within the ELO, it is recommended that the project include the non-commercial keeping of horses as a permitted use as the City already permits horse keeping on lots smaller than the one’s proposed, subject to development standards . Proximity to dwellings, structures, property lines, and other uses should be considered when developing PUD development standards e.g. set backs from adjacent homes. Other non- commercial animal keeping uses including sheep, goats, and chickens may also be considered.

2. Location of Public Park. The 0.45-acre public park is proposed to be located in the center of the proposed community. Although centrally located amenities are typically desired, the proposed location would make the park less accessible to the surrounding community and residents.

ANNUAL ACTION PLAN, CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN AND THE

PUBLIC SERVICE GRANTS

-11-

Staff Report presented by Amy Sells, Principal Management Analyst. Ms. Sells provided an overview of the CDBG Program and how the funds are allocated. She reported as a CDBG recipient, the City is required to submit a Consolidated Plan every five years. She noted that during the previous five fiscal years, the City has received approximately $1.2 million per year in CDBG funds. Ms. Sells provided examples of the programs and services that are eligible for CDBG funding. She advised that the Council is being asked to approve the Consolidated P lan, 2023- 2024 Annual Action Plan, Citizen Participation Plan and Public Service Grants.

She provided information on the public outreach efforts, the organizations that applied for the public services grants, and the deadlines in order to meet the federal timelines.

Council Member Brian Berkson asked for additional information regarding the programs and services that are provided by Clásico de las Américas. He voiced a concern that he does not know enough about their services and what they plan to do with the funds.

Council Member Leslie Altamirano indicated that she was not comfortable taking funds away from Path of Life as their homeless services are needed to help the City.

Further discussion followed.

Council Member Armando Carmona stated that one of the results of the survey was additional youth centers and he thinks it is important to include youth programming.

He asked that Clásico de las Américas be considered for funding because it is an opportunity to invest in the community’s youth.

Mayor Chris Barajas stated the CDBG funds are the only funding source for the City’s homeless services. He is hesitant to reduce any funds for Path of Life or for the senior meals program. He suggested that $150,000 be allocated to Path of Life and the remainder allocated to Family Services Association.

Further discussion followed.

Mayor Pro Tem Guillermo Silva asked if the Council could request additional information from Clásico de las Américas.

Discussion followed regarding the timeline for submittal of the grants and the 30- day comment period.

Joanna Medina commented that Path of Life offers beds that are not effectively used as families with children are afraid to use those resources due to residents who have substance abuse issues. She encouraged the Council to look into Path of Life and its overall effectiveness.

Robert Ramirez encouraged the Council to take care of the youth and invest in programs that make them part of the community. He suggested that the Council determine how much of Path of Life’s services are being utilized.

Staff Report presented by Michael Flad, Assistant City Manager. Mr. Flad reported that staff researched the cost of providing translation services for City Council and Planning Commission meetings. Based upon historical costs and estimates, those costs are expected to be approximately $1,000 per meeting. For budgeting and discussion purposes, staff is recommending an average meeting time estimation of

Discussion followed regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act and any special accommodation requests that could be made in advance of a public meeting.

Nicole Sims stated that she is hard of hearing. She asked that the City Council be mindful of speaking into their microphones. She stated that closed captioning

-13-

Following discussion, the City Council, by consensus, directed City staff to provide translation and/or ADA accommodations upon request and bring back a comprehensive budget program that includes the costs for closed captioning and translation services.

Ayes: L. Altamirano, C. Barajas, B. Berkson, A. Carmona, G. Silva Noes: None

Absent: None
D. REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT (RHNA) COMPLIANCE
UPDATE
Staff Report presented by Mary Wright, Project Manager. Ms. Wright reported that when the City Council adopted the Housing Element in 2021 it included a program to redesignate and rezone 19 sites to make up the shortfall that was anticipated for the state mandated Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA). She clarified that state law does not require the City to build housing, but rather demonstrate it has adequate land for residential development. Ms. Wright noted that when the Paradise Knolls project was approved in January 2023, it reduced housing density that was assumed in the 2021 Ho using Element. Due to this decrease in density, the City is now in deficit of its low-income housing RHNA obligation. As a result the City must redesignate and rezone 6.6 acres of land to be redesignated to Highest Density Residential (HHDR) to make up fo r the shortfall which , including the required buffer would be 8.8 acres. She reported that the City must identify and rezone land within six months of a project that makes the City go into deficit. She outlined the potential ramifications if the City does not meet its RHNA. She outlined various sites that could be considered to make up for the shortfall, including potential religious and commercial sites.

Irene Rodriguez voiced a concern that the proposal is for a lot of housing for such a small area. She questioned why the developer was allowed to change the project as it will affect the members of the community.

Roberto Ramirez stated that sites 2 through 10 are located throughout the equestrian lifestyle, however, Site 1 is feasible as it located ou tside of this area. He voiced concern that by adding high density housing, it will be a “cancer” in the community that will ultimately eat away at the equestrian lifestyle. He expressed his view that the proposed high density sites are not spread fairly across all the Council Districts.

Jose De Leon voiced his preference for site 1A located on Country Village Road as it is close to freeway access to reduce traffic and it will not alter or impact the environment. He encouraged the Council to leave the current equestrian and horse properties alone.

-14-

Philip Caballero stated that additional housing will negatively impact the equestrian community, noting that since he has lived in Jurupa Valley, he knows of at least seven horses that have been hit and kille d by cars. He cautioned that adding additional high density housing will bring additional traffic. He encouraged the Council to choose a site that is more suited for high density.

Nicole Sims stated that she and her family own Sims Tree Learning Center and they have been proud residents of Jurupa Valley for over 50 years. She encouraged the Council to consider personal and monetary values as new apartment residents may not appreciate the characteristics of an equestrian community.

Patricia Vega stated that her and her family love their current lifestyle. She asked the Council to consider other areas for high density housing.

Ty Burlsen voiced concern that adding high density housing to the equestrian areas is not compatible with the existing neighborhoods and will bring additional traffic to areas with no street lights.

Yolanda Montez stated that the potential sites to meet the RHNA numbers should make sense and should not be located in areas that will gentrify and displace the current animal keeping lif estyle. She stated that the residents feel ignored and disregarded as they have continuously opposed high density housing. Pobedy Montes donated her time to her.

Samuel Rodriguez stated that he has lived in Jurupa Valley since 1995. He is worried that high density housing is slowly eroding the equestrian and animal keeping lifestyle. He encouraged the Council to consider other areas for the potential high density sites, stating that due to past actions, he feels “betrayed.” Mitch Harig asked that apartments and the traffic that they bring be kept out of the equestrian areas as residents want to keep their rural way of life.

Samantha Rojas stated that she is a proud member of the equestrian community.

She takes pride in riding horses, taking care of her animals, and cleaning up her community. She stated that considering high density homes in the equestrian community shows the Council does not believe that their lifestyle matters.

Kevin Sims described how many wildlife have disappeared over the years. He encouraged the Council to consider how bringing high density housing to the equestrian areas will cause more habitat destruction.

Council Member Leslie Altamirano asked if the religious and commercial sites could be looked at.

Further discussion followed.

-15-

Joe Perez, Community Development Director, reported that the state allows six months from a deficit to redesignate and rezone a site, which takes the City to July, 2023. Within that period of time it will be challenging to do a thorough and appropriate analysis on religious and commercial sites. He would be happy to direct his staff to do this analysis in the future; however it is not a potential solution for this situation. If the direction of the Council is to look at additional sites, he is willing to bring those back at the next meeting.

Following discussion, the City Council, by consensus, directed staff to bring back bring Sites 4a, 5a, 6a, 7a and 8a and sites where the property owner(s) have expressed interest in having their properties up -zoned outside the overlay.

IN REAL PROPERTY IN THE CITY OF JURUPA VALLEY, IDENTIFIED AS ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NUMBERS 156 -200-004, 163 -152-025, 165 -183- 013, 165 -190-034, 165-190-043, 165-190-045, 170-270-024, 174 -320-021, 174-320-022, 182-210-007, & 183-122-004 BY QUITCLAIM DEED TO THE

CITY OF JURUPA VALLEY

BACKGROUND
Since the City of Jurupa Valley’s incorporation, the County of Riverside has afforded the City the opportunity to accept county owned land and buildings located in the City of Jurupa Valley. Recently, the County of Riverside requested the City consider the transfer of various small road remnant parcels that are vacant and situated along the City’s road system. For the County, the property is unusable remnant road parcels that are better served for City right-of-way safety and improvement purposes and to enhance the road system.

The property in the City of Jurupa Valley consists of approximately eleven parcels (4.03 acres) of unimproved land. On March 7, 2023, the County Board of Supervisors approved an Agreement that will convey fee simple interest in the Property by Quitclaim Deed, to the City.

RETURN TO AGENDA
Page | 2

ANALYSIS
The County of Riverside owns eleven parcels that total 4.03 acres of remnant property in the City of Jurupa Valley. City Staff has examined the properties and determined that accepting these property transfers could possibly be of benefit for future right-of-way safety and potential community purposes. The Assessor Parcel Numbers and full description and parcel maps may be found as an attachment to the Transfer Agreement.

Pursuant to California Government Code Section 54221 (f)(1)(D) and the Surplus Land Act Guidelines Section 103(b)(3)(D), surplus land that a local agency is transferring to another local, state, or federal agency for the agency’s use is exempt from the requirements of the Surplus Land Act. The State of California Department of Housing and Community Development has preliminarily determined that the County has met all of the requirements under the Surplus Land Act for the purpose of declaring the Properties exempt surplus.

Accordingly, the Property was declared as exempt surplus land, as the Property is being conveyed from another local agency for the transferee agency’s use is no longer needed to be owned by the County. Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(D).

Staff recommends the adoption of Resolution No. 2023-23 to declare the Property exempt surplus land and accept the County’s notice of intent to convey the Property to the City.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact for the transfer of land . Maintenance, security infrastructure and insurance costs will be included in the 2023-2024 Annual Budget.

ALTERNATIVES

1. Do not approve the Agreement between the City of Jurupa Valley and the County of Riverside for Surplus Land.

2. Provide alternate direction to Staff.

DATE: APRIL 6, 2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: ROD BUTLER, CITY MANAGER
BY: JOE PEREZ, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM NO. 14.D

CITY COUNCIL INITIATION OF A MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT TO TITLE 5 AND TITLE 9 MODIFYING REGULATIONS FOR MASSAGE
ESTABLISHMENTS; CEQA DETERMINATION: THE INITIATION OF A

CODE AMENDMENT IS NOT SUBJECT TO CEQA

RECOMMENDATION
By motion, initiate proceedings to consider a Municipal Code Amendment to Title 5 and Title 9 modifying regulations for massage establishments.

BACKGROUND
As a part of the City Business Registration application process, the City has experienced issues with massage establishments including businesses not properly obtaining appropriate permits and not obtaining or annually updating their business registrations.

Staff from City Business Registration, Community Development Department , Code Enforcement, and the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department have been collaborating to develop ways of improving the review procedures , coordination between agencies, and oversight of massage establishments within the City.

ANALYSIS
The purpose of the proposed Municipal Code amendments related to massage establishments is to deter prostitution or other illicit activity, clarify existing provisions , update review process , and incorporate stricter standards and penalties . Examples of potential amendments to the Code include:
 Requirement of a Conditional Use Permit for new massage establishments.

RETURN TO AGENDA
Page | 2

 Requirement for massage therapists to be certified by California Massage Therapy Council.
 Establishment of a revocation proces s for a massage establishment that (a) violates the Municipal Code or conditions of approval, or has a massage business license revoked by the Chief of Police.
 Refinement of the City and Sheriff’s Department review process.  Provisions that are intended to prevent an illegal massage establishm ent to reopen.

Initiation process
A Municipal Code Amendment requires initiation by the City Council. The following considerations apply to the initiation process, which only authorizes the process to begin:

1. Initiation of a Municipal Code Amendment does not entail an evaluation of the merits of the proposed project, but only whether to proceed with a formal evaluation process and public hearings.

2. The Council may express its opinions as to whether the City should proceed with the formal evaluation process but should reserve its opinions regarding the merits or the ultimate action on the item until the evaluation process and public hearings have been completed.

3. The only issue before the Council currently is whether or not to initiate the Municipal Code Amendment to Title s 5 9 modifying regulations for massage establishments. Once the formal evaluation process and public hearings are completed, the City Council will have the opportunity to approve or disapprove or make changes to the Municipal Code.

NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
There is no requirement for public notice for an initiation of a Zoning Code Amendment.

Public notices for the public hearings of the proposed Zoning Code Amendment will be conducted on future dates.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
Initiation of a code amendment is not subject to CEQA.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The expenses related to the proposed code amendment would be paid from the General Fund.

ALTERNATIVES

1. Initiate proceedings to consider.

2. Decline to initiate the Municipal Code Amendment at this time.

3. Defer action and request additional information.

SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM NO. 14.E

APPROVAL OF SALES AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE TWO
MULTIFUNCTION SHARP MX 8081 HIGH SPEED COLOR

DOCUMENT SYSTEMS

RECOMMENDATION
1) That the City Council approve award of RFP 2022 -23-08 to CBE Office Solutions for the purchase of two multifunction Sharp MX 8081 high speed color document systems not to exceed $29,605.61.

BACKGROUND
In 2018, the City leased three copiers with a 60-month term lease agreement. Within the last five years, t he City has added staffing to support the growth in Community Development, Building, Code, Engineering and Public Works. As part of the growth, the City has also purchased the Jurupa Valley Operations Center (JVOC).

Staff has an increased the need for high-speed color printing and scanning for blueprints, public works projects mechanical , architectural drawings, and building plans. To meet these needs, the City released an RFP for printers and copiers. A staff review committee interviewed the top three responding bidders. After completion of the interviews, a City team with representatives from multiple departments visited the top responder’s showroom to verify the capability and performance of the proposed machines. City staff toured the showroom wit h sample work d ocuments and tested the product to ensure quality, speed, and ease of use.

The City staff located at JVOC has also increased and has an increased need for color printing; large scale 11 x 17 scanning, and copying of Public Works documents. Two of the current copiers at City Hall will be relocated to accommodate JVOC’s staff growth.

REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT (RHNA) COMPLIANCE

UPDATE- POTENTIAL SITES FOR RE-ZONING
______________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council r eceive a staff presentation on potential sites to meet the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) and provide direction regarding how to proceed.

BACKGROUND
As discussed at the City Council meetings of February 16, 2023 and March 16, 2023, the 6th Cycle General Plan Housing Element for the 2021-2029 planning period was adopted on December 2, 2021 and certified by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on April 21, 2022 as being fully compliant with State law. As part of the Housing Element certification process, the City was required to identify anticipated densities from projects in process as well as vacant and underutilized sites to achieve the City’s RHNA of 4,497 units for the 2021 -2029 planning period. This process r esulted in the identification of 19 sites, totaling 70.84 acres, proposed to be redesignated to the Highest Density Residential Density (HHDR) and rezoned to R-3 to meet RHNA. These sites are expected to be considered at public hearings of the Planning Co mmission and City Council later this year. Figures 1 and 2, below illustrate existing HHDR-designated sites in the City and the 19 proposed 6th Cycle redesignation and rezone sites.

The Housing Element sites inventory included an assumption that Planning Area 2 of Paradise Knolls would develop with 300 dwelling units at 28.4 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) as specified in the Specific Plan. The units were then broken down into 195 very low-income units and 105 low -income units as provided by State law whic h allows jurisdictions to use higher density as a proxy for lower income if certain requirements are met. However, on January 19, 2023, the City Council held a public hearing and approved

RETURN TO AGENDA

Page | 2

two residential projects on Planning Area 2 at densities lower than those identified in the Housing Element. Due to this decrease in density, the City is now in deficit of its low - income housing RHNA obligation as shown in Table 1.

+55 -40 +362 +1,327

Based on the RHNA deficit of 40 dwelling units in the low-income category, the City needs to redesignate a minimum of 6.6 acres of additional property to HHDR to make up for the shortfall. The 6.6-acre number is the amount of land needed to theoretically produce 40 units of low-income housing based on a net density of 17.5 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) and a 65% / 35% split between very low and low -income housing. However, HCD recommends that an additional 15-30% of the RHNA obligation be included to provide a buffer in the event that other development proposals fall short of expectations. This would result in a revised total of 7.6 to 8.6 acres of land needed to be redesignated to HHDR.

Per the State’s “No Net Loss” law (Government Code Section 65863), if the approval of a project at a lower density results in the remaining sites becoming inadequate to accommodate the RHNA by income category, the jurisdiction has up to 180 days from the date of the approval to redesignate/rezone additional sites to accommodate the remaining RHNA. Given the approval of the two Paradise Knolls projects on January 19, 2023, the City must take action to redesignate additional land to make up the shortfall by July 18, 2023. The City must report its actions in the Annual Progress Report (APR) due to HCD on April 1 st of each year but does not need to revise the Housing Element or otherwise report its actions to HCD. In addition, although HCD does not proactively monitor the status of the City’s RHNA, if a report of a deficit is made to the State, HCD will investigate and has t he ability to decertify the Housing Element if they believe that proactive measures to remedy the situation are not being taken.

City Council Study Session
At the March 16, 2023 City Council meeting, the City Council reviewed 13 additional sites for potent ial redesignation to HHDR to make up the RHNA shortfall. In addition, the Council heard public testimony on the sites . Following City Council discussion, t he City Council provided direction to bring back Sites 4a, 5a, 6a, 7a and 8a, and a new site (Site 12a) located at 6464 33 rd Street based on a letter submitted on behalf of the property owner (Attachment 3). The six sites and the ELO are illustrated on Figure 3 below.

Page | 4

Figure 3: Sites for Potential RHNA Redesignation/Rezones and ELO

The City Council also directed that sites be brought back for consideration where a property owner expressed interest in HHDR land use designation and where the property is located outside the ELO. The only site that met that criteria is Site 12a, which is discussed below.

ANALYSIS
The following paragraphs include a summary of Sites 4a, 5a, 6a, 7a , 8a and 12a for Council consideration and discussion.

Site 4a
Site 4a includes three parcels of land totaling 10.33 acres located immediately west of Van Buren Boulevard and east of Hudson Street between 59 th Street and 56 th Street.

ATTACHMENT NO. 3

LETTER FROM KEVIN KOHAN REGARDING
6464 33rd STREET DATED MARCH 16, 2023

Elevated Entitlements
280 E. Thousand Oaks Boulevard, Suite H
Thousand Oaks, CA 91360
Date: March 16, 2023
Attention: City of Jurupa
City Council
8930 Limonte Avenue
Jurupa Valley, CA 92509

Reference: Item No. 16.D March 16, 2023 Agenda: 6464 33rd Street, Jurupa Valley (APN: 177-110-016, 177-110-018)
Dear Honorable City Council Members,

My name is Kevin Kohan and I am a Principal Planner with Elevated Entitlements. I am representing the property owner at 6464 33 rd Street in Jurupa Valley (APN#: 177- 110-016, 177-110-018). This letter is regarding Item Number 16.D, Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) Compliance Update. This letter is requesting the Council to strongly consider the approximately 23.8-acre site at 6464 33 rd Street as a designated Highest Density Residential (HHDR) land use. Currently, the property owner has begun the pre- application process with the City of Jurupa for a proposed land use designation change from Medium Density Residential to Highest Density Resi dential. The pre-application design for the proposed project includes approximately 535 dwelling units. The subject site is situated between existing si ngle-family development along Florine Avenue and new single-family development on Winter Park Avenue. These surrounding family housing developments are sorely in need of community spaces such as parks, playgrounds, and recreational spaces. The proposed project site, which is currently a dead end for Florine Avenue, Winter Park Avenue, and 33d Street, has the potential to bring these neighborhoods together around new community open spaces.

The preliminary site plan we submitted for pre-application with the City of Jurupa proposes a new street grid linking the existing adjoining streets and a new re creation field and park area, which would be easily accessible to the surrounding community.

In addition to offering new connectivity and community spaces, the proposed project will contribute significantly to the City’s strained housing stock. Nearly 24 acres in area, the site would have an allowable density of 595 dwelling units under HHDR land use desi gnation. The pre-application proposal submitted to the City includes two and three story townhomes and apartments with a total of 535 units. We understand that the City’s proposed amendment to the 6th Cycle Housing Element is based on the State of California’s pressures to identify anticipated densities from projects in process as well as vacant sites to achieve the City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) goals of 4,497 units for the 2021-2029 planning period.

We are also aware that the City has been working to identify a number of sites for potential HHDR land use designations. On behalf of the property owner, we would like to present this property as an excellent candidate in this respect. The subject site is well situated in relation to other residential developments, is large enough to offer over 500 dwellings, is outside the equestrian overlay, and is currently in the pre-application process.

We thank you for your time and consideration and are available to answer questions or comments as requested.

Best,
Kevin Kohan
Principal Planner

BACKGROUND
Public Service Grants
The Public Service Grants are a component of the Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) Annual Action Plan and each year the City advertises for applicants. T he City’s CDBG team, which consists of both City Staff and a consultant from GRC Associates, Inc. (GRC), published the Public S ervice Grant application on January 3, 2023 . The purpose of the grant application was to solicit grant proposals from qualified non -profit agencies that serve residents in the community that meet the demographic criteria established by HUD (low -moderate i ncome, homeless, etc.). The City received three applications by the January 31, 2023 deadline. Upon receipt, the City’s CDBG team reviewed each application based on the objective rating process approved by the CDAC during the 2019-20 program year.

In order to meet HUD timelines, cities must begin the CDBG grant process based on an estimated total allocation. On February 27, 2023, the City received notice of the final 2023-2024 CDBG allocation of $1,091,728, with the maximum amount available for Public Service Grants being 15% of this total allocation, or $163,759, which is less than what we estimated. The City received $220,000 in public service grant requests from Jurupa Valley serving non-profits. At the CDAC meetings on February 9, 2023 and February 23 , 2023.

The CDAC made recommendations based on an estimate of $170,000.
