STAFF REPORT
DATE: NOVEMBER 16, 2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROD BUTLER, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM NO. 2.A
STUDY SESSION: CIVIC CENTER MASTER PLAN AND PROPOSED
SITE IMPROVEMENTS
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council receive an overview of and discuss the proposed Civic Center Master Plan, City Hall Site and Building Improvements and direct Staf f to move forward with the planning and design phase. During the planning and design phase, staff will also present project funding recommendations.
BACKGROUND
The current City Hall site was originally occupied by a one-room schoolhouse built in 1911. The original school house was replaced in the mid 1930’s with a three room school and auditorium. On e of the original architectural features from the 1930’s new school were the internal fan-shaped windows above the doors . These distinctive windows and some original walls from the 1930’s remain in place today.
The original auditorium was used as a meeting place for resi dents, a polling place, Sunday school and for community dances and potlucks. The three-room school remained until the mid 1950’s when a new school on Hudson St. was built. The three room school was then sold and began its new use as a feed and grain store. In 1973 the feed store was sold to Sam Salem , who turned the feed store into a western style clothing store known as Sam’s Western Wear. Mr. Salem expanded the building and added the western theme façade which is so recognizable today.
ANALYSIS
During the past three years, the number of City employees has grown from 24 to over 90 employees. In order to accommodate these new employees , some staff have been relocated to the Jurupa Valley Operations Center and several cubicle style modular work spaces have been added to City Hall . While the addition of these work stations has helped, additional office space is needed and there remains no space for growth.
RETURN TO AGENDA
Page | 2
In addition to the need for more offices, most of the City Hall building infrastructure has exceeded usefulness and needs extensive repair and replacement. Both the interior and exterior of the building are in need of maintenance , the exterior siding is significantly damaged by dry rot and roof repairs a re imminent. With the increase in the number of employees to the building comes the need for additional restrooms, meeting space and adequate break rooms . The recommended renovations also include American with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements, plumbing, electrical, paint and carpet.
In order to add the additional space needed, the proposed project includes a new 6,000 square foot two story building addition. This proposed addition will be added to the South side of the existing building. An outdoor Civic Plaza is proposed to welcome residents and businesses, from the existing parking area, through a new entrance at the rear of the current City Hall. As proposed, this area will have the capacity to hold outdoor events.
Lastly, the proposed improvements include the construction of the remaining Cit y Hall parking lot, landscaping, curb and gutter and sidewalk. It is important to note that the historical look and feel of the building will remain unchanged. Architectural features of the existing façade will be carried onto the new addition.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
That the City Council receive an overview of and discuss the proposed Civic Center Master Plan and direct Staff to move forward with the p lanning and design phase. Staff will then return to Council at a future date for approval of the recommended planning and design consultant/architect and a Civic Center project funding plan.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
No fiscal impacts are associated with this discussion item.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Discuss and provide alternative direction to City Staff.
2. Continue the matter to receive additional information from Staff for Council discussion and consideration.

RECOMMENDATION
1) That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023-94, entitled:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF JURUPA VALLEY,
CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING THE ACCEPTANCE OF GRANT FUNDS FROM
THE BOARD OF STATE COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS ORGANIZED RETAIL
THEFT PREVENTION GRANT PROGRAM AND AMMENDING THE FISCAL
YEAR BUDGET ACCORDINGLY
BACKGROUND
The State Budget Act of 2022 (Senate Bill 154, Chapter 43, Statutes of 2022) established the Organized Retail Theft Prevention (ORTP) Grant Program. The program made funding available to California city police departments, sheriff departments, and probation departments to support local law enforcement agencies in preventing and responding to organized retail theft, motor vehicle or motor vehicle accessory theft, or cargo theft.
The program defines Organized Retail Theft as acting in concert with one or more persons to steal merchandise from one or more merchant's premises or online marketplace with the intent to sell, exchange, or return the merchandise for value, acting in concert with two or more persons to receive, purchase, or possess merchandise knowing or believing it to have been stolen, acting as the agent of another individual or group of individuals to steal merchandise from one or more merchant's premises or online marketplaces as part Page | 1
RETURN TO AGENDA
Page | 2
of a plan to commit theft, or recruiting, coordinating, organizing, supervising, directing, managing, or financing another to undertake acts of theft.
ANALYSIS
The City of Jurupa Valley worked with the Riverside County Sheriff Department's (RCSD) to develop the Organized Theft Prevention (OTP) Project - a comprehensive initiative to address the issues of organized motor vehicle and retail theft in the City of Jurupa Valley (City). Analysis of crime data and trends in the City showed significant motor vehicle and organized retail thefts over the past three years.
The analysis revealed roughly 340 vehicle thefts occurring each year, combined with over 200 reports of commercial burglaries annually. Overall, there have been 2,718 reported thefts in the last year alone, causing increasing concern for law enforcement and residents.
To address these needs and reduce the incidence of organized retail theft, the Project will:
• Establish Organized Theft Task Force Teams for Motor Vehicle and Retail crimes; and
• Utilize the Flock Cameras System and its Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR) Technology effectively; and
• Implement the Small Business Retail Theft Prevention Program; and • Creating the Local Evaluation Plan and Report for BSCC.
On September 14, 2023, the City of Jurupa Valley was notified that the City's project was selected for funding under the ORPT grant program, for the amount of $2,219,710, to complete the proposed activities between October 1, 2023, and June 1, 2027, in partnership with the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City will receive reimbursement, in the amount of $2,219,710, for the implementation of the activities described above. No local matching funds were required or proposed as part of this project.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Elect not to adopt the resolution and not accept grant funding.

BACKGROUND
On November 1 2018 , the Jurupa Valley City Council approved Tentative Tract Map No.36822 for Paradise Knolls. A residential subdivision of 107.2 combined acres located on Limonite Avenue west of Downey Street and North of the Santa Ana River. The two approved tentative tract maps include Tentative Tract Map No. 36822 consisting of nine lots ranging in size from 2.28 acres to 22.87 acres and Tract Map No. 38257, which covers Lot “7” of Tentative Tract No. 36822.
Staff has reviewed Tract Map 38257 and finds that it is in substantial conformance with the approved Tentative Map. The City Attorney has reviewed and approved to form the Subdivision Agreements. This action approves the Tract Map, Subdivision Agreements, and accepts offers of dedication and the bonds related to the subdivision.
ANALYSIS
Pursuant to the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and the City Municipal Code, Title 7, Tract Maps require City Council action for approval, denial, or modifications. Per the Subdivision Map Act Section 66474.1, a legislative body shall not deny approval of a Tract Map if it was previously approved as a tentative tract map for the proposed subdivision and if it finds that the Tract Map is in substantial compliance with the previously approved tentative tract map. Staff recommends that the City Council approve Tract Map No. 38257 and accept the offers of dedication, relinquishment of access rights, the subdivision agreements, and bonds.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City will receive development fees and payments as part of the obligations defined in the Municipal Code.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Do not approve Agreement as recommended.
2. Provide alternate direction to staff.

On November 1 5 2018, the Jurupa Valley City Council approved TTM No. 36822 for Paradise Knolls. A residential subdivision of 107.2 combined acres located on Limonite Avenue west of Downey Street and North of the Santa Ana River. The two approved tentative tract maps include Tentative Tract Map No. 36822 consisting of nine lots ranging in size from 2.28 acres to 22.87 acres and Tract Map No. 38258, which covers Lot “9” of Tentative Tract No. 36822.
Staff has reviewed Tract Map 38258 and finds that it is in substantial conformance with the approved Tentative Map. The City Attorney has reviewed and approved to form the Subdivision Agreements.

Per the Subdivision Map Act Section 66474.1, a legislative body shall not deny approval of a Tract Map if it was previously approved a s a tentative tract map for the proposed subdivision and if it finds that the Tract Map is in substantial compliance with the previously approved tentative tract map. Staff recommends that the City Council approve Tract Map No. 38257 and accept the accept the offers of dedication, the subdivision agreements, and bonds.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City will receive development fees and payments as part of the obligations defined in the Municipal Code.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Do not approve Agreement as recommended.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: NOVEMBER 16, 2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROD BUTLER, CITY MANAGER
BY: CONNIE CARDENAS, ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM NO. 13.G
APPROVAL OF PURCHASE FROM PRECISION SURVEY SUPPLY,
LLC FOR A LEICA RTC360 LASER SCANNER
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve the purchase of Leica RTC360 Laser Scanner Equipment in the amount of $109,354.01 for forensic photography.
BACKGROUND
The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department , Jurupa Valley Station initiated the research to purchase this system in March of 2022 and t he purchase was budgeted in fiscal year 2022-2023. In the fall of 2022, the procurement for this system was assigned to the County of Riverside’s procurement office. This purchase was approved by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors on April 18, 2023 with a four-year lease agreement for the total price of $115,163. The County procurement office did not move forward with the lease purchase. This procurement will be a cost savings with a direct purchase , which includes a four-year warranty and discounted price. The total purchase amount will be split with the City of Jurupa Valley at seventy percent (70%), the City of Eastvale at twenty percent (20%) and the City of Norco at ten percent (10%).
ANALYSIS
The Leica RTC360 3D reality capture solution has the capacity to capture environments in 3D and recreate accident scenes. This improves the quality of the visual evidence.
The scanning capabilities create an efficiency to assist law enforcement in clearing accident scenes by reducing the time needed for investigative measurements and road closures, which impacts traffic congestion and control.
RETURN TO AGENDA
Page | 2
The cost sharing was determined by traffic volume and the number of such incidents within the City boundaries of Jurupa, Eastvale, and Norco. Due to the multiples freeways, interchanges, and boulevards, the City of Jurupa Valley had the highest rate of vehicle and pedestrian accidents with some resulting in fatalities.

PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF JURUPA VALLEY APPROVING ZONING
CODE AMENDMENT NO. 23004 (ZCA23004) TO ADOPT PERMANENT
REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO SENATE BILL 9 (URBAN LOT
SPLITS AND HOUSING UNITS BUILT IN ACCORDANCE WITH
SENATE BILL 9) AND MAKING A DETERMINATION OF EXEMPTION
UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTIONS 65852.21(J) AND
66411.7(N) AND CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15061(B)(3)
RECOMMENDATION
1) By motion, that the City Council conduct a first reading and introduce Ordinance No. 2023-17, entitled:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF JURUPA VALLEY, CALIFORNIA, ADDING CHAPTER 7.85 TO TITLE 7 (SUBDIVISIONS), AMENDING CHAPTER 9.10, AMENDING SECTIONS 9.45.010, 9.55.010, 9.60.020, AND 9.65.020 AND ADDING CHAPTER 9.300 TO TITLE 9 (PLANNING AND ZONING) OF THE
JURUPA VALLEY MUNICIPAL CODE ESTABLISHING REGULATIONS
RELATED TO URBAN LOT SPLIT PARCEL MAPS AND QUALIFYING
HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SENATE BILL 9
(2021), AND MAKING A FINDING OF EXEMPTION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
BACKGROUND
Senate Bill 9 (SB 9) was signed by Governor Newsom on September 16, 2021 and became effective January 1, 2022. It requires that a local jurisdiction allow ministerial approval (no discretionary review) of two (2) units on parcels zoned for single -family dwellings per lot and/or the subdivision of a single -family zoned parcel into two equal
RETURN TO AGENDA
Page | 2
sized parcels (a 40 to 60 percent split of lot size is allowed). This type of subdivision (“urban lot split”) may result in each lot containing a duplex or two (2) detached residential units.
When the law became effective January 1, 2022 and up until January 20, 2022, the City operated under the State’s ordinance. However, on January 20, 2022, the City Council adopted an Interim Urgency Ordinance (IUO) that included regulations imposed under SB 9 as well as some objective development standards related to building height, affordability, and unit size. Under the advisement of legal counsel and t he State of California Attorney General, some of the objective development standards specific to Jurupa Valley have been removed from the proposed permanent ordinance.
The initial IUO was effective for a 45 -day period and was scheduled to expire on March 6, 2022. However, State law permitted two (2) further extensions: an initial extension of 10 months and 15 days, and a second extension of one year. The initial extension was adopted on February 17, 2022, which extended the IUO’s expiration date to January 20, 2023. The second extension was adopted at a City Council hearing on December 15, 2022, which extended the IUO’s expiration date to January 20, 2024. State law does not permit any further extensions of an urgency ordinance.
The Planning Commissi on conducted a public hearing on October 25, 2023 and , after receiving public testimony, voted 5 to 0 to adopt Resolution No. PC-2023-20 recommending City Council adoption of the proposed ordinance. Ten e -mails were received supporting the recommended action and comments were submitted that requested the City expand the applicability of SB 9 to the A-1 (Limited Agriculture) Zone.
ANALYSIS
Attached to this report is a letter sent by the State of California Office of the Attorney General (see Attachment 4). It advises all cities and counties with urgency ordinances relating to SB 9 that governmental agencies cannot adopt any regulations that impede or otherwise restrict the mandated provisions allowed for SB 9 developments. For further detailed guidance on SB 9 development, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) published a document addressing frequently asked questions (FAQ’s). A copy of the FAQ’s is included with this report as Attachment 5. The proposed permanent ordinance was drafted to achieve compliance with State law, using the relevant State documents as guiding principles.
Under State law, a local agency may be required to modify or eliminate objective development standards on a project-by-project basis if such standards would prevent an otherwise eligible lot from being split or prevent the construction of up to two units at least 800 square feet in size.
To ensure continued compliance with State law, the following provisions have been removed from the proposed perm anent ordinance or otherwise changed to avoid legal challenge:
1) Modified Provision: In addition to allowing SB 9 developments in the R-1 zone (One Family Dwellings), SB 9 developments will also be allowed in the following zones that are considered a “single-family residential” zone:
a. R-A (Residential Agriculture);
Page | 3
b. R-R (Rural Residential);
c. R-R-O (Rural Residential, Outdoor Advertising);
d. R-D (Regulated Development)
2) Modified Provision: The creation of “Flag Shaped” lots will be allowed; 3) Removed Provision: The 1,200 square-foot maximum SB 9 housing unit size has been removed, thus, there is no maximum unit size for SB 9 housing unit; 4) Removed Provision: The limitation to single-story units has been removed; 5) Removed Provision: The affordability requirements for new units have been removed.
Properties that are identified in the General Plan as being in a “very high fire hazard severity zone” and/or are located within a federally designated 100 -year floodplain are excluded from being able to utilize SB 9. The City has these areas scattered throughout the community. In additi on, SB 9 projects are not allowed in the following areas: a) earthquake study zones; b) prime agricultural lands; c) hazardous waste sites; d) coastal zones; e) historic districts and/or properties with historic resources. The City has identified two such protected areas on General Plan maps. A map illustrating the location of R -1, R -R, R -R-O, R -A and R -D zones in relation to “very high fire hazard severity zones” and the City’s federally designated 100 -year floodplain areas is included as Attachment 3 to this report for City Council reference.
In the recommended ordinance, there are definitions, development standards, and application procedures and processes for SB 9 Urban Lot Splits and Housing Developments. Some of recommended development standards for Urban Lot Splits are as follows:
The two lots resulting from an urban lot split shall be approximately equal in size, and no smaller than 40 percent or larger than 60 percent of the lot area of the original parcel;
Minimum lot width: 20 ft.;
No lot resulting from an urban lot split shall have more than two residential units inclusive of any Accessory Dwelling Unit or Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit; Non-residential uses on the site are prohibited;
A setback of four feet from the side and rear lot line s is required, except that no setback shall be required for an existing structure or a structure constructed in the same area and to the same dimensions as an existing structure. For the R -1 and R-D zones, the street side setback shall be a minimum of ten (10) feet; One off-street parking space is required for each unit created, unless the parcel upon which the unit is created is within one -half mile walking distance of a high- quality transit corridor or a major transit stop or there is a car share vehicle located within one block of the project. Required parking for an urban lot split shall be accessed via an alley, if there is an alley adjacent to the lot; Ongoing compliance with all SB 9 requirements and restrictions shall be required; The proposed urban lot split shall not require the demolition or alteration of any of the following:
Page | 4
o Housing that is subject to a recorded covenant, ordinance, or law that restricts rents to levels affordable to persons and families of moderate, low, or very low income;
o Housing that is subject to any form of rent or price control through a public entity’s valid exercise of its police power;
o Housing that has been occupied by a tenant in the three years prior to the submission of an urban lot split application;
o Housing units removed from the rental market under the Ellis Act within the 15 years prior to the submission of an urban lot split application.
The following lists some of the recommended development standards for Housing Development projects:
One off-street parking space is required for each unit, unless the parcel upon which the unit is created is within one -half mile walking distance of a high-quality transit corridor or a major transit stop or there is a car share vehicle located within one block of the project. Re quired parking for an urban lot split lot shall be accessed via an alley, if there is an alley adjacent to the lot; Non-public utility electrical elements such as wires, conduits, junction boxes, transformers, ballasts, and switch and panel boxes shall be concealed from view from adjacent public rights-of-way;
All flashing, sheet metal vents, and pipe stacks shall be painted to match the adjacent roof or wall material;
Pedestrian access to a public street or alley shall be provided with an exterior pedestrian pathway from the primary entrances of each unit to the adjoining sidewalk, street, or alley. Access to the public right-of-way shall be maintained in perpetuity;
One driveway per street frontage with a minimum of three feet wide landscape strip between the driveway and side lot line for the length of the driveway; More than 25 percent of the exterior structural walls of a Primary Dwelling shall not be demolished if the Primary Dwelling has been occupied by a tenant in the three years prior to the submission of an SB 9 Housing Development application; A setback of four feet from the side and rear lot lines is required for all units, except that no setback shall be required for an existing structure or a structure constructed in the same area and to the same dimensions as an existing structure; No ADU or JADU shall be allowed on parcels that use both the authority contained within the Government Code Section 65852.21 and the authority contained in Government Code Section 66411.7.
A SB 9 Housing Development shall not require the demolition or alteration of any of the following:
o Housing that is subject to a recorded covenant, ordinance, or law that restricts rents to levels affordable to persons and families of moderate, low, or very low income;
o Housing that is subject to any form of rent or price control through a public entity’s valid exercise of its police power;
Page | 5
o Housing that has been occupied by a tenant in the three years prior to the submission of an SB 9 Housing Development application;
o Housing units removed from the rental market under the Ellis Act within the 15 years prior to the submission of an SB 9 Housing Development application;
More than twenty-five percent (25%) of the existing exterior structural walls, unless the proposed SB 9 Housing Developm ent is located on a site that has not been occupied by a tenant in the last three years;
For residential units connected to an onsite wastewater treatment system, a percolation test must have been completed within the last 5 years, or, if the percolation test has been recertified, within the last 10 years.
It is important to note that other configurations of development may occur such as a duplex on each newly created lot resulting in 4 units.

Equestrian Lifestyle Protection Overlay (ELPO): During a previous City Council hearing to consider the extension of the SB 9 IUO, a concern was expressed regarding impacts to properties within the ELPO and protection of the Jurupa Valley equestrian lifestyle. SB 9 does not exclude equestrian overlay ar eas. However, it is important to note that the majority of the City is zoned A -1 and is included within the ELPO of the General Plan.
The A-1 Zone is not available for SB 9 development. Exhibit A illustrates the A -1 zone and its prominence in the majority of the City. Exhibit B shows the location of the ELPO.
It should be noted that where the A-1 Zone occurs, the ELPO follows.
Page | 7
SB 9 Applications
It is important to note that during the last 10 months, there has only been one approval of an SB 9 application. There are currently two applications pending City review. However, since SB 9 is still considered very new, the trend could easily change so t he Community Development Department will closely monitor the level of interest in SB 9 applications.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
Notice of the City Council public hearing was published in the Press Enterprise on November 6, 2023. At the time of preparation of this report, no comments had been received.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The adoption of the SB 9 permanent ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to statutory exemp tions contained in Government Code Sections 65852.21(j) and 66411.7(n). In addition, the ordinance is exempt because it can be seen with certainty that it has no likelihood of causing a significant negative effect on the environment. The action is theref ore exempt from the application of CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guideline Section 15061(b) (3) (14 Cal.
Code Regs. § 15061(b) (3)).

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF JURUPA VALLEY DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Project and Procedural Findings. The City Council of the City of Jurupa Valley does hereby find, determine and declare that:
(a) On September 16, 2021, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill (SB) 9 into law, entitled the “California Home Act,” into law, which established a series of new regulations to allow for ministerial approval of urban lot splits and up to two residential units on parcels located in single -family residential zones as outlined in Government Code Sections 65852.21 and 66411.7. SB 9 took effect on January 1, 2022. (b) SB 9 requires cities to ministerially approve a parcel map for a n urban lot split and/or a proposed housing development containing a maximum of two residential units within a single-family residential zone, if the housing development or subdivision meets certain statutory criteria. SB 9 specifies that proposed projects and subdivisions cannot be proposed in prohibited locations under Government Code Section 65913.4(a)(6)(B) -(K), such as in an earthquake fault zone, lands under conservation easement, a federally designated flood plain, and high fire hazard severity zones as defined under state law.
(c) SB 9 further restricts the standards and regulations that local agencies may impose on qualifying housing developments or subdivisions. In addition, SB 9 permits a local agency to deny a proposed housing development or urban l ot split only if the agency makes a written finding based on preponderance of the evidence, that the proposed project would have a specific, adverse impact upon public health and safety or the physical environment. (d) SB 9 specifically authorizes a city to establish objective zoning, subdivision and design review standards consistent with the bill’s provisions, and to adopt an ordinance to implement its provisions. Such objective zoning, subdivision and design review standards may not have the effect of “physically precluding the construction of two units on either of the resulting parcels or that would result in a unit size of less than 800 square feet,” among certain other limitations.

(e) At the January 20, 2022, regular City Council meeting, pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, the City Council adopted Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 2022- 02 (Interim Ordinance) to establish interim regulations to implement SB 9 and include City - specific objective standards intended to limit the potential negative impacts resulting from density increases and incompatible land use patterns in single-family zones. This Interim Ordinance was effective for a 45-day period and was scheduled to expire on March 6, 2022. (f) Government Code Section 65858 allows two extensions of an in terim ordinance: an initial extension of 10 months and 15 days, and a second extension of one year. At the February 17, 2022 regular City Council meeting, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2022-03, which extended the Interim Ordinance’s expiration da te to January 20, 2023. At the December 12, 2022 regular City Council meeting, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2022- 25 extending the Interim Ordinance until January 20, 2024. (g) At the January 20, 2022 regular City Council meeting, the City Council directed staff to initiate amendments to the Jurupa Valley Municipal Code to establish regulations related to SB 9 urban lot splits and housing developments (“Ordinance”) to be in effect prior to the expiration of the Interim Ordinance.
(h) Pursuant to Government Code Section 65854 and Jurupa Valley Municipal Code Section 9.285.040, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed hearing on the proposed Ordinance on October 25, 2023 at which time all persons interested in the proposed Ordinance had the opportunity and did address the Planning Commission on these matters. Following the receipt of public testimony the Planning Commission closed the public hearing. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65855 and Jurupa Valley Municipal Code Section 9.285.040, at the con clusion of the hearing, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution PC -2023-22 providing a written recommendation to the City Council to adopt the Ordinance and specifying the reasons for the recommendation and the relationship of the proposed Ordinance to the City of Jurupa Valley 2017 General Plan.
(i) Pursuant to Government Code Section 65856 and Jurupa Valley Municipal Code Section 9.285.040, the City Council of the City of Jurupa Valley held a duly noticed public hearing on the proposed Ordinance on November 16, 2023, at which time all persons interested in the Ordinance had the opportunity and did address the City Council on these matters. Following the receipt of public testimony, the City Council closed the public hearing. (j) The proposed Ordinance was proc essed and publically noticed in the time and manner prescribed by State law and Jurupa Valley Ordinances. All legal preconditions to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.
Section 2. California Environmental Quality Act Findings . The City Council of the City of Jurupa Valley makes the following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval of the Project:
(a) Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), and the CEQA Guidelines promulgated thereunder, and the City’s local CEQA Guidelines, Planning Department Staff has determined that the proposed Ordinance is exempt from the requirements of -3-
12774-0007\2878490v1.doc
the CEQA and the City’s CEQA Guidelines pursuant to Sections 65852.21(j) and 66411.7(n) of the California Government Code, becaus e an ordinance adopted to implement the provisions of Senate Bill 9 is not considered a project under CEQA. Therefore, the Ordinance is not subject to CEQA review.
(b) The City Council has reviewed Community Development Department’s determination of exemption , and based on its own independent judgment, concurs with Staff’s determination of exemption.
Section 3. Consistency with the General Plan . The proposed amendments are consistent with the objectives of the City of Jurupa Valley 2017 General Plan for the following reasons:

ATTACHMENT 2 Planning Commission Resolution PC-2023-22
PC-2023-22
RESOLUTION PC-2023-22 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF JURUPA VALLEY RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF JURUPA VALLEY APPROVE ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 23004 (ZCA23004) TO ADOPT AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISH PERMANENT REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO SENATE BILL 9 (URBAN LOT SPLITS AND HOUSING UNITS BUILT IN ACCORDANCE WITH SENATE BILL 9); AND MAKE A DETERMINATION OF EXEMPTION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTIONS 65852.21(J) AND 66411.7(N) AND CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15061(B)(3) THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF JURUPA VALLEY DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Project and Findings. (a) On September 16, 2021, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill (SB) 9 into law, entitled the “California Home Act,” into law, which established a series of new regulations to allow for ministerial approval of urban lot splits and up to two residential units on parcels located in single-family residential zones as outlined in Government Code Sections 65852.21 and 66411.7. SB 9 took effect on January 1, 2022. (b) SB 9 requires cities to ministerially approve a parcel map for an urban lot split and/or a proposed housing development containing a maximum of two residential units within a single-family residential zone, if the housing development or subdivision meets certain statutory criteria. SB 9 specifies that proposed projects and subdivisions cannot be proposed in prohibited locations under Government Code Section 65913.4(a)(6)(B)-(K), such as in an earthquake fault zone, lands under conservation easement, a federally designated flood plain, and high fire hazard severity zones as defined under state law. (c) SB 9 further restricts the standards and regulations that local agencies may impose on qualifying housing developments or subdivisions. In addition, SB 9 permits a local agency to deny a proposed housing development or urban lot split only if the agency makes a written finding based on preponderance of the evidence, that the proposed project would have a specific, adverse impact upon public health and safety or the physical environment. (d) SB 9 specifically authorizes a city to establish objective zoning, subdivision and design review standards consistent with the bill’s provisions, and to adopt an ordinance to implement its provisions. Such objective zoning, subdivision and design review standards may not have the effect of “physically precluding the construction of two units on either of the resulting parcels or that would result in a unit size of less than 800 square feet,” among certain other limitations.
(e) At the January 20, 2022, regular City Council meeting, pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, the City Council adopted Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 2022- 02 (Interim Ordinance) to establish interim regulations to implement SB 9 and include City- specific objective standards intended to limit the potential negative impacts resulting from density increases and incompatible land use patterns in single-family zones. This Interim Ordinance was effective for a 45-day period and was scheduled to expire on March 6, 2022. The Interim Ordinance was extended twice and is set to expire on January 20, 2024. (f) At the January 20, 2022 regular City Council meeting, the City Council directed staff to initiate amendments to the Jurupa Valley Municipal Code to establish regulations related to SB 9 urban lot splits and housing developments (“Ordinance”) to be in effect prior to the expiration of the Interim Ordinance. (a) Section 9.285.030.(1) of the Jurupa Valley Municipal Code provides that the Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing on proposed amendments to the City’s Zoning Ordinance that propose to regulate the use of structures or buildings, and that the amendment must be processed pursuant to Section 9.285.040.(3) of the Jurupa Valley Municipal Code. The proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance will regulate the use of housing development projects by requiring that a certain percentage of the units be affordable. (b) Section 9.285.040.(3) of the Jurupa Valley Municipal Code provides that after closing the public hearing, the Planning Commission shall render its decision within a reasonable time and transmit it to the City Council in the form of a written recommendation, which shall contain the reasons for the recommendation. A copy of the recommendation shall be transmitted to the City Council. If the Planning Commission does not reach a decision due to a tie vote, that fact shall be reported to the City Council and the failure to reach a decision shall be deemed a recommendation against the proposed amendment. (c) Section 9.285.040.(4)(a) of the Jurupa Valley Municipal Code provides that upon receipt of a recommendation for approval by the Planning Commission, the City Clerk shall set the matter for public hearing before the City Council at the earliest convenient day, and give notice of the time and place of the hearing in the same manner as notice was given of the hearing before the Planning Commission. Section 2. Procedural Findings. The Planning Commission of the City of Jurupa Valley does hereby find, determine and declare that: (a) The Project was processed including, but not limited to a public notice, in the time and manner prescribed by State law and Jurupa Valley Ordinances. (b) On October 25, 2023, the Planning Commission of the City of Jurupa Valley held a public hearing on the proposed ordinance, at which time all persons interested in the Project had the opportunity and did address the Planning Commission on these matters. Following the receipt of public testimony the Planning Commission closed the public hearing.
(c) All legal preconditions to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. Section 3. California Environmental Quality Act Findings. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council of the City of Jurupa Valley make the following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval of the Project: (a) Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), and the CEQA Guidelines promulgated thereunder, and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, the proposed Ordinance is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's CEQA Guidelines pursuant to Sections 65852.21(j) and 66411.7(n) of the California Government Code, because an ordinance adopted to implement the provisions of Senate Bill 9 is not considered a project under CEQA. Therefore, the Ordinance is not subject to CEQA review. The proposed ordinance is also exempt from CEQA review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). The proposed ordinance does not authorize the construction of any housing, but rather imposes requirements on any housing project that is approved. As such, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question would have a significant effect on the environment. Section 4. Consistency with General Plan. The adoption of ordinance conforms with the goals, policies, programs and guidelines of elements of the General Plan. The Ordinance implements the following policies contained in the City's Housing Element: (a) General Plan Land Use Element Policy LUE 2.1 provides: “Residential Development. Accommodate the development of single-family and multi-family residential units in areas appropriately designated by the General Plan, specific plans, the Equestrian Lifestyle Protection Overlay, and community and town center plans land use maps.” Adoption of this Ordinance will provide the standards to allow for the development of two-unit residential development projects in qualifying single-family zones. (b) General Plan Land Use Element Policy LUE 2.4 provides: “Housing Quality and Variety. Accommodate the development of a variety of highest quality housing types, styles and densities that are accessible to and meet the needs of a range of lifestyles, physical abilities, and income levels.” Adoption of this Ordinance will provide the objective standards to allow for the development of two-unit residential development projects in qualifying single-family zones. (c) General Plan Land Use Element Policy LUE 2.9 provides: “Design Compatibility. Ensure that new residential developments are designed to be compatible with their surroundings and to enhance visually the appearance of neighborhoods and adjacent structures.” Adoption of this Ordinance will provide the objective standards to allow for the development of two-unit residential development projects in qualifying single-family zones.
