UDY SESSION: REGULATIONS FOR METAL SHIPPING
CONTAINERS
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council (1) receive a summary of Section 9.240.510 (Metal Shipping Containers) and (2) identify items of concerns or requests for additional information.
Since this is a study session, no action will be taken.
STUDY SESSION PROCESS
This agenda item is an opportunity for the City Council to receive a briefing on Section
9.240.510 (Metal Shipping Containers) of the Municipal Code. The City Council will not take a vote. Each Councilmember will have an opportunity to report any items of concern or request additional information.
SECTION 9.240.510 METAL SHIPPING CONTAINERS
Section 9.240.510 (Metal Shipping Containers) of the Municipal Code is intended to establish minimum development standards for the placement of metal shipping containers within the City. The development standards are designed to enhance the aesthetic appearance of the community, preserve property values, and protect public health, safety, and general welfare. The section addresses permitted zones, required entitlements, and development standards including setbacks, maximum heights, appropriate screening, and distance from residential areas.
DEFINITION
Metal shipping c ontainers are not defined in the Municipal Code. However, for the purpose of our Municipal Code, metal shipping containers can be referred to as vessels that are specifically designed for the packing, shipping, movement, or transportation of freight and are designed for mounting on, or movement by rail car or truck trailer. Although a metal shipping container is designed for the movement of freight, the containers are
RETURN TO AGENDA
Page | 2
more commonly used by homeowners or business owners for storage of household items, vehicles, equipment, and merchandise . Common lengths of metal shipping containers include ten (10) feet, twenty (20, forty (40) feet, and forty-five (45) feet. An example of a metal shipping container can be seen as Exhibit A.
EXHIBIT A – METAL SHIPPING CONTAINER
PERMITTED ZONING
Metal shipping containers are prohibited to be used as a principal use in any zone except in the Manufacturing-Medium (M-M) zone as described in the next section, Metal Shipping Containers as a Principal Use. Otherwise, metal shipping containers are permitted as an accessory use in certain zones subject to development standards.
METAL SHIPPING CONTAINERS AS A PRINCIPAL USE
The code prohibits metal shipping containers to be used as a primary use in any zone except when the containers are being used in part or in whole as a product or service to be leased or sold to end users . Examples of such use are facilities that refurbish me tal shipping containers into structures like office buildings, workshops, classrooms, restaurants, and homes for sale or lease to the consumer. Examples of refurbished metal shipping containers can be seen in Exhibit B below.
Page | 3
This type of use is only allowed in the Manufacturing -Medium (M- M) Zone with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) . The CUP would be processed as typical under the provisions of Section 9.240.280 (Conditional Use Permits) with the exception that the approval body shall be the City Council and not the Planning Commission .
Additionally, such use is subject to the following development standards:
1. Metal shipping containers shall not be stacked more than two (2) containers high, or a maximum of twenty (20) feet.
2. Metal shipping containers that are not stacked and do not exceed ten (10) feet in height shall be located a minimum of twenty (20) feet away from the public right - of-way.
3. Metal shipping containers that are stacked shall be located a minimum of sixty (60) feet from any public right-of-way.
4. Metal shipping container(s) shall be stored within a wholly enclosed building or screened by a ten (10) foot high solid decorative wall between any public street and the area where the metal shipping containers are to be located on the site, except that the Planning Commission may approve an alternative design if the applicant demonstrates that:
a. The metal shipping containers shall be fully screened from public rights-of- way that are elevated less than fifteen (15) feet above the project site due to location on the site, topography, placement of other permanent facilities on the site, or any com bination screening measures satisfactory to the planning commission; and
b. Such alternative method of screening is equivalent and will be maintained continuously for the life of the conditional use permit. Any wall constructed to satisfy this requirement shall be located a minimum of twenty (20) feet from the edge of the street or sidewalk, and a minimum twenty (20) foot wide landscaped buffer shall be provided in the area between the wall and the public street.
5. An office building in a permanent structure for sales and administrative purposes shall be provided on the same parcel where the metal shipping container business is taking place and shall meet the development standards of the underlying M -M zone.
6. The minimum separation distance between metal shipping containers and buildings or on-site storage shall be per the requirements of the fire code of the city, and shall be verified by annual inspections by the County Fire Department and designated City Staff. Such inspections shall be subject to an inspection fee adopted by resolution of the City Council.
7. Metal Shipping Containers shall not be located within one thousand (1,000) feet of an existing residential neighborhood or zone.

EXHIBIT B – REFURBISHED METAL SHIPPING CONTAINERS
METAL SHIPPING CONTAINERS AS AN ACCESSORY USE IN COMMERCIAL AND
INDUSTRIAL ZONES
The code allows metal shipping containers to be used as an accessory use in commercial or industrial zones with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), Site Development Permit (SDP), or Public Use Permit (PUP).
Page | 5
METAL SHIPPING CONTAINERS AS AN ACCESSORY USE IN ALL ZONES
EXCLUDING COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL ZONES
The code allows containers as an accessory use in all zones, excluding commercial and industrial zones, subject to specific development standards. One of t he development standards restrict placement of a metal shipping container in these zones to lots with a minimum lot area of five (5) acres. Only one (1) metal shipping container can be allowed, and it shall be setback at least fifty (50) feet from all property lines. The placement of a container must be to the rear of the principal building on the site and on the rear half of the lot. Additionally, the containers must be painted a neutral color and shall be fully screened by an opaque fence or fast -growing landscaping feature. Chain link fence is prohibited.
TEMPORARY METAL SHIPPING CONTAINERS
The code allows metal shipping containers to be placed in all zones on a temporary basis.
To qualify for this, the containers must be placed on a site that is actively undergoing construction or grading operations and the containers can only be used for storage of supplies and equipment used for construction or grading. The containers must be placed on the same site on which the construction and/or grading is occurring. The City can confirm that a building permit or a grading permit is issued on a site to ensure compliance with this provision. Once construction or grading is completed, the container must be removed.
EXCEPTIONS TO SECTION 9.240.510 METAL SHIPPING CONTAINERS The provisions of Section 9.240.510 (Metal Shipping Containers) do not apply in the Light Agriculture with Poultry (A-P), Heavy Agriculture (A-2), or Agriculture – Dairy (A-D) zone.
These zones are not prominent as only six (6) sites in the city hold these zoning designations.
SUMMARY
The municipal code distinguished the use of metal shipping containers as principal , accessory, or temporary uses. While metal shipping containers as an accessory use can be allowed in multiple zones by right or with the appropriate entitlement approval, metal shipping containers as a principal use are only allowed in the M-M zone with the approval of a CUP subject to standards. Metal shipping containers as temporary use are allowed in all zones on a temporary basis. Tables 1, 2, and 3 below provide additional information.

THE CITY OF JURUPA VALLEY FOR THE RUBIDOUX
BOULEVARD/STATE ROUTE 60 INTERCHANGE PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION
1. T
hat the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) reimbursement agreement by and between the Western Riverside Council of Governments and the City of Jurupa Valley for Rubidoux Boulevard/State Route 60 interchange project attached and as approved by the City Attorney.

S
tate Route 60 (“SR-60”) is a major East-West transportation route within Riverside County and an integral part of the freeway network system for the Southern California metropolitan area. SR 60 is located within the Northwest Zone of the TUMF network and is eligible for fair share of the fees collected through the transportation improvement program for the roadway’s improvement.
The City is proposing to reconstruct the SR-60/Rubidoux Boulevard interchange. The proposed project will reconfigure the existing interchange at Rubidoux Boulevard and SR-60 to improve the traffic circulation as well as accommodating the future traffic congestion at build out in 2040.
RETURN TO AGENDA
Page | 2
The planning approval and environment design (PA&ED) and Plans, Specification and Engineering Estimate (PS&E) phases will include, but not limited to, topographic survey, design of the new bridge replacing the existing one, improving the on and off ramps, new signals, improving the ADA accessibility and circulation.
Staff completed and submitted draft WRCOG standard reimbursement agreements requesting WRCOG’s authorization to enter into a TUMF reimbursement agreement for the project.
At their September 2024 Executive Committee meeting WRCOG authorized entering into these reimbursement agreements with the City for the project. Approval of this agreement will authorize the funding for the PA&ED as well as the preparation of the PS&E.
City staff has selected the engineering consultant to perform the PA&ED as well PS&E and anticipate for the completion of both phases by 2028.
ANALYSIS
Terms of WRCOG’s standard reimbursement agreement, among other matters, includes a specific scope of work which describes generally the project and the phases which are included in the agreement.
Completion of the PA&ED and PS&E phase will advance the much-needed improvements to a “shelf ready” status. Amendment to the agreement will be needed at a later date to authorize the funding for the construction phase of the project.
Reimbursement as it relates to this agreement occurs after incurring eligible expenses and submittal of a city request for reimbursement payment to WRCOG.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total reimbursable TUMF fee allocated for this project (PA&ED, PS&E Phase) is $4,500,000.00 and as per the terms of the agreement provide for reimbursement, costs incurred by the City must first be paid before the City can request reimbursement from WRCOG. Costs under this agreement will be paid from the reimbursements required and received from WRCOG and these costs will be recorded to the City’s TUMF Fund No. 212. No General Fund monies are required for approval of this agreement.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Do not approve Agreements as recommended (this alternative would preclude the City receiving the reimbursement of TUMF funds for the project).
2. Provide alternate direction to staff.

ACILITY USE AGREEMENT BETWEEN FAMILY SERVICE
ASSOCIATION AND THE CITY OF JURUPA VALLEY
RE
COMMENDATION
1) T

B
ACKGROUND
O
n June 30,2020, the City of Jurupa Valley accepted ownership of the Eddie Dee Smith Senior Center (Center) from the County of Riverside. The Eddie Dee Smith Senior Center is located at 5888 Mission Boulevard in Jurupa Valley. The 9,120 square foot facility sits adjacent to a variety of senior housing options in the City’s Rubidoux neighborhood.
P
rior to the City’s conveyance of ownership, the Family Service Association ( FSA) operated and provided food service through a contract with the County of Riverside. As of July 1, 2020, FSA continued to provide food service and Jurupa Area Recreation and Parks District (JARPD) has managed operations and current programming.
AN
ALYSIS
For the past four years, FSA’s Senior Nutrition Program has provided nutritionally balanced meals to seniors (over 62 years in age) at the Eddie D ee Smith Center. A registered dietician participates in the meal preparation process to maximize the quality of each meal. The provision of balanced and nutrient rich meals helps mitigate the development of serious health issues. Each of these years the City Council approved Community Development Block Grants in the approximate amount of $20,000 to provide nutritious meals to our senior community.
RETURN TO AGENDA
Page | 2
Unfortunately, due to the COVID -19 pandemic and related public health directives, the communal meal provision at the Eddie D. Smith Center was changed for two year s to a meal pick-up program. They offered a curbside meal delivery system that helped mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Since 2022, they have returned to their offering of a warm meal, in a setting that provides important social engagement as well as healthy food.
It is proposed that the FSA continue to provide distribution of meals and other food services for an additional four years starting from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2028.
JARPD will continue to oversee other services and programming on behalf of the City at the Center.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There are no additional costs to the City for these services.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Do not approve the Agreement with Family Service Association.
2. Provide alternate direction to Staff.

NSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO
CONSULTANT SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE C ITY OF
JURUPA VALLEY AND WILLDAN ENGINEERING FOR BUILDING AND
SAFETY AND CODE ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
RE
COMMENDATION
T
hat the City Council authorize the City Manager to:
1) Execute Amendment No. 1 to the consultant services a greement with Willdan Engineering for Building and Code Services; and
2) A
ppropriate funds in an amount not to exceed $175,000 for Amendment No. 1 for consulting services as specified in the financial impact section of the staff report.
BACKGROUND
T
he Building and Safety Division is responsible for overseeing permit issuance, plan checks, and inspections for all development and construction activities in Jurupa Valley .
In recent months, the City has experienced a significant increase in development , resulting in heightened demands on our existing inspection staff. To ensure that we maintain high levels of customer service during this period of growth, additional support is necessary.
On July 27, 2023, the City Council approved a contract with Willdan Engineering for consulting services to support the Building and Safety and Code Enforcement Divisions, with a not-to-exceed amount of $75,000 per fiscal year. Willdan has proven to be a reliable partner in supplementing our inspection staff and meeting the increased workload.
RETURN TO AGENDA
Page | 2
Given the ongoing surge in development, we propose an amendment to the existing consulting agreement to increase the contract amount by $100,000. This increase will allow Willdan Engineering to provide the additional staffing support needed to ensure timely inspections.
Funding for the prior contract was authorized during the regul ar City Council Meeting on June 27, 2024, as part of the approved Fiscal Year 2024- 25 Community Development budget.
The proposed amendment will bring the total contract amount to $175,000. These additional funds will enable the City to activate qualified Wildan inspectors to assist the Building and Safety Division during this critical period. This partnership will help mitigate delays in the inspection processes, ensuring that the City can effectively manage its current development projects while continuing to serve our residents and businesses.
ANALYSIS
Willdan has valuable institutional knowledge and consistently delivers high-quality service and expertise as outlined in the Agreement. The Building and Safety Division has recently hired one full-time inspector and is in the process of recruiting an additional inspector. As our in-house capacity grows, our reliance on Willdan’s inspection services will gradually decrease. The Agreement allows the City flexibility to adjust staffing levels based on workload fluctuations as more functions transition in-house.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
If the Amendment No. 1 is approved, the not -to-exceed amount will be increased to $175,000 for the remainder of this fiscal year. The amount appropriated will be recovered through permit cost and fees. The additional $100,000 in funds needed for proposed Amendment No. 1 were includ ed in the adopted FY 2024-25 Community Development budget for Consulting Services Account 100.1230.54140.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Approve as recommended the Agreement between the City and Willdan.
2. Do not approve the Agreement between the City and Willdan.
3. Provide alternative direction to staff.

CREATE AND APPLY AN OVERLAY THAT ALLOWS FOR

CENTER
RECOMMENDATION
By motion, that the City Council initiate a General Plan Amendment and Change of Zone to achieve the following: 1) change land zoned A-1 (Light Agricultural), R-2 (Multiple Family Dwellings) and R-A-20 (Residential Agricultural 20-Acre Minimum) to Commercial-Office (C- O); 2) amend the General Plan Land Use Map to change land currently designated as Small Farm (RR) to Public Facilities/Institutional; and 3) create and apply an overlay that allows for residential uses at the Jurupa Mountains Discovery Center.
BACKGROUND
The Jurupa Mountains Discovery Center (JMDC), a not-for-profit 501(c)(3), is seeking to expand development of cultural and office uses but is not able to do so due to General Plan and zoning inconsistencies. In an effort to remove the barriers currently restricting the JMDC from adding to its operations, it is necessary to initiate a GPA and CZ.
It is important to note that the JMDC provides a valuable cultural amenity for the community and is the destination for many school field trips as well as other educational enhancement activities.
RETURN TO AGENDA
Page | 2
The Center was founded in 1964 and is most recognizable by its prominent mammoth sculpture sitting at the top of a hill overlooking the property. It is considered an important iconic landmark feature for the City. The site (approximately 68 acres) is developed with eight structures including an Earth Science Museum . The museum features specimens of rocks and fossils from around the world as well as mining, fluorescent minerals and fossilized dinosaur egg displays. Besides the museum, the property also contains a covered patio for its succulent garden. It is open for retail business on the weekends and also hosts field trips for school children and service organizations such as the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. Other structures on the property include an unoccupied residence, a building for STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) classes, a dinosaur den, several shade structures, a facility with 16 restrooms, a main office and a warehouse.
Representatives from the Center have expressed interest in expanding their services/operations and add new facilities to the site. Specifically, JMDC proposes to construct a museum and office for the State of California Fire Agency (Cal Fire) . The museum would display fire fighting vehicles, historical photographs and documents as well as other items of interest. The new museum would not have permanent full -time employees, but volunteers would be present primarily on weekends for special field trips for school children.

EXHIBIT A: AERIAL PHOTO OF JMDC PROJECT SITE
ANALYSIS
The GP land use designation for the property is Public Facilities/ Institutional (PF) and Small Farm (RR). See existing GP Map as Exhibit B. The portion of RR would be proposed to be redesignated as PF, as a museum use fits the vision of PF. Zoning of the site is primarily A -1 (Light Agriculture) and R-A- 20 (Residential Agricultural – 20-acre minimum lot size) with a small portion of the site in the northwest area designated as R - 2 (Multiple-family dwellings) and is mapped on Exhibit C. The entire site is proposed to be rezoned as Commercial-Office (C-O).
The General Plan was recently amended to include the C -O (Commercial-Office) zone on the list of zones consistent with the Public Facilities/ Institutional GP land use designation. The rezone provides for General Plan consistency and would permit the expansion of the museum. However, an additional obstacle occurs when removing the current residential zones. Per the State’s “no net loss ” law, the City cannot remove a residential zone without concurrently upzoning other property in the City to ensure that there is no loss in residential capacity.
The following is an excerpt from Government Code section 66300(b)(1):
“Notwithstanding any other law with respect to land where housing is an allowable use, an affected city shall not enact a development policy, standard, or condition that would have any of the following effects: (A) Changing the general plan land use designation, specific plan land use designation, or zoning of a parcel or parcels of property to a less intensive use or reducing the intensity of land use within an existing general plan land use designation, specific plan land use designation, or zoning district in effect at the time of the proposed change, below what was allowed under the land use designation or zoning ordinances of affected city, as applicable, as in effect on January 1, 2018. For purposes of this subparagraph, “reducing the Jurupa Mountains
Discovery Center
Page | 4
intensity of land use” includes, but is not limited to, reductions to height, density, or floor area ratio, new or increased open space or lot size requirements, new or increased setback requirements, minimum frontage requirements, or maximum lot coverage limitations, or any other action that would individually or cumulatively reduce the site’s residential development capacity.”
In addition, Government Code section 66300(h) states the following:
“This section does not prohibit an affected city, including the local electorate acting through the initiative process, from changing a land use designation or zoning ordinance to a less intensive use, or reducing the intensity of land use, if the city concurrently changes the development standards, policies, and conditions applicable to other parcels within the jurisdiction to ensure that there is no net loss in residential capacity. . . “
To address this issue, as an alternative to upzoning an equivalent a mount of land elsewhere, it has been determined that the City could develop and apply a General Plan Overlay for the site. The overlay would allow the same residential capacity as found with current residential zones and residential land use designation . Such an action would allow expansion of the JMDC and its cultural and museum resources and amenities while maintaining consistency with State law as there would not be a loss in residential capacity on the site.
Since any subsequent development would be subject to further entitlement review and environmental analysis, the proposed General Plan Amendment and Change of Zone are considered primarily administrative. Project specific analysis for the museum expansion would occur when a Site Development Permit application is submitted.

INITIATION PR OCESS
Every General Plan Amendment (GPA) and Change of Zone (CZ) requires environmental documentation, analysis and public hearings by the Planning Commission and City Council before changes can be adopted. The following considerations apply to the initiation process, which only authorizes the process to begin:
1. Initiation of a GPA and CZ does not entail an evaluation of the merits of the proposed project, but only whether or not to proceed with a formal evaluation process and public hearings.
2. The Council may express their opinions as to whether the City should proceed with the formal evaluation process but should reserve their opinions regarding the merits or the ultimate action on the item until the evaluation process and public hearings have been completed.
3. Once the formal evaluation process and public hearing s are completed, the City Council will have the opportunity to approve or disapprove or make changes to the recommended General Plan Amendment and Change of Zone.
Should the Council decline or take no action, the development potential of the site and the status quo will remain.

COMMENDATION
1) A
t the request of Council Member Chris Barajas, the City Council is being asked to adopt a Resolution supporting Riverside Community College District’s (RCCD) Bond Measure ‘CC’ on the November 5, 2024 ballot. If the Council wishes to support Measure CC, the appropriate action would be to adopt Resolution No. 2024-108, entitled:

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF JURUPA
VALLEY IN SUPPORT OF RIVERSIDE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
DISTRICT’S $954 MILLION BOND ISSUE, MEASURE CC ON THE
NOVEMBER 5, 2024 BALLOT
B
ACKGROUND
I
n a response to the urgent need for good jobs for the region’s residents, diversification of the local regional economy, and for a locally available educated and skilled workforce for the region’s current and future employers, the City of Jurupa Valley, Riverside Community College District and Assembly Member Sabrina Cervantes partnered to bring together the vision of the Inland Empire Technical Trade Center (IETTC) for this community.
I
n 2021, the RCCD received $1.5 million in a federal earmark for planning and feasibility of the IETTC. In June of 2022, Assembly Member Cervantes secured $33.3 million for the purchase of land and start of site improvements in the City of Jurupa Valley. With funding for planning and land acquisition secured, it is imperative that funding for the construction of the building be secured as quickly as possible.
RETURN TO AGENDA
Page | 2
The Inland Empire poverty level sits over 12% and unemployment in the Inland Empire is
4.5%. The IETTC will strive to change those statistics by offering high quality, high skill, and high paying jobs that will meet the economic needs of the region.
The key aspects of the IETTC Model are:
• Learning opportunities for adult learners + all students fr om traditionally marginalized and underserved communities
• Flexibility to act as a stand- alone, skilled training service and/or a gateway to a bachelor's degree
• Focus on retraining and reskilling a population that possesses skills that will be obsolete in our rapidly changing world
• Allow students to “earn while they learn” via industry -standard technical training combined with paid work-based learning
It is anticipated that 7 million residents will be in the region of the IETTC within 30 years and to construct a building to serve this population will be approximately $180 million.
ANALYSIS
$180 million in funding from the Measure CC bond will be allocated towards construction of the IETTC building in the City of Jurupa Valley. This facility will allow the City of Jurupa Valley to better serve the educational demands of the community and while providing the residents a convenient, local option for higher education; it will become a vital educational resource for the region.
RCCD has requested that the City Council support this bond measure and a resolution affirming the Council’s support. Attached is a draft resolution for the Council to co nsider to support the RCCD’s placement of Bond Measure CC on the upcoming California State election ballot.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no immediate fiscal impact as a result of staff’s recommended actions.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Continue the matter to receive additional information from Staff and to provide additional time for Council discussion and consideration.
2. Determine that no further action is necessary at this time.
