Reggie Gierke and Tammy Morgan presented to council an update since the last City Council meeting they attended. Based on legal counsel and research, the Chamber Board unanimously voted to re-open. Both legal counsel and the Chamber believes the Chamber is a mutual benefit organization, therefore they were not required to register with the Attorney General’s office.
They will be working with county resources to help the chamber and Kingsburg businesses.
Julgensfest and Santa Lucia will go on as usual.
Council Member Silva asked for clarification on how they’ll be designated, will they still be a 501 C 6? He also wanted clarity on whether there will or will not be a nonprofit designation.
Reggie clarified that nothing would change, they will still be a 501 C 6. They’ll be a tax-exempt organization; they are not a charitable agency meaning they cannot accept charitable donations.
Chris Peterson, resident, asked series of questions about the Chamber meeting regarding past issues and she discussed the previous council minutes.
Mr. Gierke notes that these questions have been answered in the past and encourages members to come to board meetings to ask these questions.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor Pursell, Jr. & City Council
REPORT FROM: John Binaski, Fire Chief REVIEWED BY:
AGENDA ITEM: Side Letter Agreement with KPFA for their 2024-2026 MOU ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ____Resolution √ Motion ______Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
During the implementation of the new Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Kingsburg and the Kingsburg Professional Firefighters Association, two issues were identified. The first issue was the pay period for when personnel represented by the KPFA could cash out their accrued compensatory time off (CTO). The two times a year listed were the same pay periods normal pay raises for employees take place. Having to amend the pay scales and the additional work for the CTO cash outs during the same pay period would be difficult for administrative staff. It is proposed to move the cash out from the first to the second pay period of January and July.
The second issue was compensation for personnel who are certified by the Central California EMS Authority (CCEMSA) to be paramedic preceptors. The department needs personnel to be certified in this role to evaluate our current paramedics in meeting local accreditation and when we hire personnel from outside the CCEMSA jurisdiction. Currently the department only has one person certified and a paramedic preceptor.
The city met with the Kingsburg Professional Fire Association to review these changes and received tentative approval for the side letter agreement.
RECOMMENDED ACTION BY CITY COUNCIL
1. Approve the side letter agreement between the City of Kingsburg and the Kingsburg Professional Firefighters Association.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S)
1. The council could choose to not approve the side letter agreement and leave in place the conditions outlined in the current KPFA MOU.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION/KEY METRIC
1. To approve the attached side letter agreement to amend the current KPPA MOU.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Meeting Date: 12/04/2024
Agenda Item: 3
FISCAL IMPACT:
1. Is There a Fiscal Impact? YES
2. Is it Currently Budgeted? NO
3. If Budgeted, Which Line? N/A
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The fiscal impact for this fiscal year is 2.5% for one employee. This equates to approximately $2,250, which will be absorbed into the current Fire and Ambulance Budget.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW
This agreement amends the current MOU between the city and KPFA.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
During the implementation of the new Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Kingsburg and the Kingsburg Professional Firefighters Association two issues were identified. The two issues are the pay period CTO can be cashed out and the incentive pay for fire personnel to be certified as a paramedic preceptor. The employee received this incentive prior to the new MOU.
ATTACHMENTS
1. Side Letter Agreement between the City of Kingsburg and the Kingsburg Professional Fire Association.
SIDE LETTER AGREEMENT #1
BETWEEN
KINGSBURG PROFESSIONAL FIREFIGHTERS ASSOCAITATION (KPFA LOCAL 4291)
AND
THE CITY OF KINGSBURG
2024 - 2026 MOU
The City of Kingsburg (“City”) and the Kingsburg Professional Firefighters association (“Association”) hereby enter into this Side Agreement between the City and KPFA. This Side Agreement amends Article 2 “Hours of Work and Overtime” and Article 19 “Program Management/Special Assignments
Article 2
Employees may elect to accrue compensatory time at the rate of one and one-half (1-1/2) times the number of overtime hours worked for all MOU Overtime and for such FLSA Overtime as may be allowed by law. The City shall have the choice in the manner of compensation.
Employees shall be allowed to accumulate a maximum of 360 hours of unused compensatory time off (CTO). CTO may not be used to take time off if it unduly disrupts operations.
Employees with more than 360 hours of CTO must use or cashout all hours above 360 hours by July 1, 2025. Any unused hours above 360 hours will be automatically cashed out on the second pay period in July 2025. Any employee who is separated from CITY service shall be entitled to payment for accrued compensatory time at the employee's regular hourly base wage rate at the time of the employee's separation, less all normal deductions. Employees shall have the following option of cashing out of CTO hours: Twice each fiscal year each bargaining unit member may receive cash out up to 96 hours of his or her CTO. CTO payout will occur the first second full pay period in July and January. Request for CTO cash out must occur 30 days prior.
Article 19
As a result of the small size of the department it requires personnel to perform specialized duties and assignments. Special Assignments are at the discretion of the fire chief. Some of the special assignments require additional training and/or certification. The maximum compensation for special assignments is five percent (7.5%). The following is a list of special assignments, but others could be added by the fire chief as the need arises.
SCBA Testing, Repair, and Fit Testing 2.5%
Hose Testing and Repair 2.5%

REPORT TO: Mayor Pursell, Jr. & City Council
REPORT FROM: Holly Owen, Community Development Director REVIEWED BY: AJH AGENDA ITEM: Awarding of Competitive Housing Unit Allocations for Single Family Residential Development for 2025
ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ___Resolution ____Motion ____Receive/File
RECOMMENDATION
In accordance with the provisions of Section 16.09.060 of the Kingsburg Municipal Code, take the following actions:
1) That the Kingsburg City Council review the rating and ranking for competitive housing unit allocations for the residential housing units for the proposed development project, identified below, for the 2025 housing unit allocations:
A) Single Family Development (Joseph Crown Construction and Development, Inc., applicant) on
15.03 acres, northwest of Klepper between Kamm and Klepper Avenues, to develop singlefamily residential lots for custom home construction for a total of 44 single family residential housing units.
2) Consider approving the environmental determination that the award of housing units is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guideline to 15378 (b(5)).
3) Consider adoption of Resolution 2024-064- approval of the allocation of 44 single family residential units for the proposed development identified above for the 2025 calendar year pursuant to the Kingsburg’s Growth Allocation Program.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Growth Management System, Chapter 16.09 of the Kingsburg Municipal Code, (Attachment A) was enacted as Measure N, Charter Amendment to the City of Kingsburg Charter in November 2004. The Growth Management System was the result of concerns regarding unplanned and uncoordinated growth in the City. The Growth Management System provides for 115 housing unit allocations (80 SFR allocations and 35 multi-family) to be made available at the beginning of each calendar year, with a potential two rounds of applications for housing unit allocation units per year. During the downturn in the housing market, annual allocations for housing units continued to accrue, resulting in the passage of Kingsburg City Council Resolution 2013-38 allowing housing units to accumulate for a period of three years.
As described in Section 16.09.070 of the Kingsburg Municipal Code, rating and ranking criteria is applied to each proposed housing project with the use of a 100-point scoring system. A number of criteria are considered, including suitability of location, the availability of utility services, architectural design and aesthetic considerations. The Planning Commission is required to review the rating and ranking recommendations prepared by the City Planning Staff. Attachment C is the Staff’s recommendation for rating and ranking for the allocation of housing units for the proposed residential housing project identified above. The rating and ranking is based upon the project as identified Meeting Date: 12/04/2024
Agenda Item: 5
in the application for allocation of housing units. Any changes in the project after housing units are awarded will be subject to the provisions of Section 16.09.020 (C) of the Kingsburg Municipal Code.
The land upon which this project will be developed was annexed to the City of Kingsburg through Fresno LAFCo process a number of years ago and had an approved subdivision map which expired. The applicant wishes to formally submit a new tentative map for consideration. The proposed development project is in the North Kingsburg Specific Plan Area, requires an application for Site Plan Review, be processed as a Planned Unit Development, and is subject to the design standards and other requirements set forth in the North Kingsburg Specific Plan. A conceptual site plan is attached as Attachment F. The allocation of housing units to this project does not constitute approval of the project or lessen the need to obtain all required land use entitlements for the project.
This project was the only application for allocations submitted for consideration during the required timeframe, which had a deadline of September 30. The application for housing units is attached for Council’s information as Attachment B.
It should be noted that the Council, during allocations in 2023, allotted 25 of the single family residential allocations for calendar year 2025 to the Weststar Phase V project. This was done as part of the phased project stipulation in the ordinance. As such, if the Council awards the 44 allocations currently requested, that would leave 11 remaining units for allocation for 2025 (80-25-44 = 11). Those allocations would only be available if the City Council were to open up a second round of applications, which is at their discretion.
Environmental Review
This action, the allocation of housing units, is not a project and therefore not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b(5)), as the award of housing units is an organizational or administrative activity of government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment and therefore is not considered a project. All projects as they are submitted to the City for land use entitlements will be subject to separate environmental assessments.
RECOMMENDED ACTION BY CITY COUNCIL
1. Consider approving the environmental determination that the award of housing units is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guideline to 15378 (b(5)).
2. Consider adoption of Resolution 2024-064- approval of the allocation of 44 single family residential units for the proposed development identified above for the 2025 calendar year pursuant to the Kingsburg’s Growth Allocation Program.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S)
1. The Council can choose not to grant allocation units to the proposed project.
STRATEGIC GOAL(S) MET:
1. Preserve the Kingsburg Experience

28 16.09.020 Allocations for housing units.
A. One hundred fifteen (115) new allocations of housing units will become available at the beginning of each calendar year. Allocation is defined as the right to apply for a building permit to construct one single-family residence or one multi-family residential housing unit. The allocations are divided between two categories of housing: multiple-family housing units with thirty-five (35) allocations (less any allocations issued to multi-family small projects as defined in Section 16.09.050 of this chapter) per year (thirty percent (30%)) and single-family housing units, with eighty (80) allocations per year (seventy-percent (70%)). Of the eighty (80) allocations per year of single-family housing units, twenty (20) allocations shall be reserved for large lot development on parcels of at least ten thousand (10,000) square feet.
B. Allocations which are issued pursuant to the provisions of this chapter are issued to the specific residential development project identified and described in the application for allocations. Allocations are not issued to any person or entity. Allocations cannot be assigned, transferred or conveyed to another residential development project C. Except as otherwise set forth in this subsection, if after allocations are awarded, a residential housing project receiving allocations is modified or changed in any way, the allocations awarded to that residential housing project shall automatically terminate and become unused allocations subject to reallocation as provided in Section 16.09.060. The modified or changed residential housing project may apply again for allocations as a new residential housing project. Except that, aresidential housing project may file a request with the city, using the applicable city request form, requesting that the issued allocations not terminate but remain with the changed or modified residential housing project. The city council may grant such request only if the city council makes all of the following findings:
1. Any modification or change in the type (i.e., single-family, multi-family, senior, etc.) of residential housing; or the modification or change in any other aspect of the residential housing project satisfies a specific housing need in the city which was not a housing need in the city at the time the 2 I

2. Any modification or change in the number of residential housing units; or any modification or other change in any aspect of the residential housing project does not result in a need to increase the allocations initially issued to the residential housing project identified in the original application;
3. City staffs reevaluation of the modified or changed residential housing project pursuant to the rating and ranking criteria set forth in Section
16.09.070 of this chapter, does not result in a competitive points ranking different from the competitive points ranking received by the residential housing project for its original application for allocations and does not affect the competitive points ranking of any other residential housing project that originally competed for allocations with the residential housing project seeking to retain its awarded allocations;
4. No land use entitlements identified in this Section 16.09.020 have been approved or issued for the residential housing project prior to its application seeking to retain the awarded allocations.
The provisions of this Section 16.09.020 C. shall not apply to a modification or change to a residential housing project which results in a reduction of the awarded allocations needed to construct the residential housing project.
D. An application for competitive allocations identihed in Section 16.09.060, shall specifically identiff the type of residential development (e.g. single family, multi-family, mixed density, etc.) that will be developed should allocations be awarded to the applicant. Based upon the type of residential development identified in the application, the city's community development department shall determine the final land use entitlement approval (e.g. final subdivision map, site plan review approval, planned use development ("PUD") approval, etc.) 3 I

(Documentation may include a mnp und verbal description of location) 25 POINTS Property is within City limits20 POINTS Infill project and is substantially surrounded by urban development 15 POINTS Property is bordered by the City on more than one side l0 POINTS Property is adjacent to the City, within the Urban Limit Boundary, allowing for logical growth
5 POINTS Property is adjacent to the City but outside the Urban Limit Boundary0 POINTS Property is outside the Sphere of Influence and annexation is required INCLUSIONARY HOUSING UP TO 15 POINTS
The adopted Housing Element of the Kingsburg General Plan has an inclusionary housing policy calling for at least l5 percent ofthe housing units provided by each project to be affordable to low-income or very low-income households. If the affordable units are not incorporated into the pmject, the developer may be able to comply with the policy by assisting the City in providing an equal number of affordable housing units elsewhere in the City by dedicating appropriate landor paying an in-lieu fee amount acceptable to the City. For each percentage point of affordablehousing included in or provided for by a project, one scoring system point will be awarded up to a maximum of l5 points. (Documentation must include a detailed written commilment to provide the affordable housing described in the application. It must inclade calculation of the probable rental or mortgoge costs of the housing units in the project proposed; calculation of the housing costs a low-income household can alford (which can be based on 80 percent of the median household incomesfor Fresno County for the cutent Jtear as provided by the Califurnia Department of Housing and Community Development); and an explanation of how any "gap" is the basisfor determining an appropriate inJieufee, or an appropriate valuefor land to be dedicatedfor affirduble housing purposes. If third-party subsidies are proposedthrough use of governmental grantfunds or partnership with non-prffi affirdable housing organizations, the commitment on the part of any third-pafi entity must be documented in writing.)

Programs identified by the City to fund affordable housing development include State of California Housing and Community Development, United States Department of Agriculture, and Fresno County's HomebuyerAsslstance Program. For the 2O23-2O3t planning period, the City did not designate Program 12, Monitoring of Growth Management System, as a funding source nor did it include a LSo/o affordable housing set-aside requirement for new projects. As a result of the program funding identified for thedevelopment of affordable housing in Table 1 above, the Project developer is not proposing an in-lieu payment or land dedication.t https:/fresnomjhe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Appendix-1H-KINGSBURG 2023-2031-Housing-Element.pdf Meeting SpecialNeeds, Demonstrated Market Demands & Community Obiectives Kingsburg's vacancy rate in 2022 was 2.LYo across all housing units, a notable decrease from its 2010 vacancy rate of 6.!Yo, one of the lowest rates in Fresno County2 (see Table 2). Sales prices in Kingsburg have remained strong with a 9.3% increase over 20223 despite a recent uptick in interest rates, indicating market demand for housing (see lllustration 2).
To accommodate a variety of household compositions and their needs, the Retreat project will offer single story plans, ranging in size from 1,900 to 2,600 square feet. The single-story plans offer housing options for senior or disabled households, some 3-car garages, and up to five bedrooms.

The Reileat is situated adjacent to developed subdivisions along the entire east side and some of the south side of the proposed project. Both Kamm and Academy are fully paved with access to infrastructure for the Retreat project.
lllustration 3. Project Site
Developers of the project will construct frontage improvements along Kamm Avenue (including, but notlimited to, curb, gutter, sidewalk, landscaping, and street lighting) in accordance with City Standards.
Minimum 8-inch water mains will be installed throughout the subdivision as well as an 8-inch water main that will be stubbed with a 2-inch blowoff at the waterline's western terminus for future extension. All existing overhead utilities as well as electric, cable W, telephone, and/or internet adjacent to the subd ivision, i ncl ud i ng tra nsformers, wil I be u ndergro unded.
Reimbursement AgreementA draft Subdivision lmprovement Agreement will be developed by the City of Kingsburg for The Retreat.
The agreement will include reimbursements for City Owned Capital lmprovements.
New lnfrastructure
The project developer will construct frontage improvements along Kamm Avenue (including, but not limited to, curb, gutter, sidewalk, landscaping, and street lighting) in accordance with City Standards.
Minimum 8-inch water mains will be installed throughout the subdivision as wellas an 8-inch water main that will be stubbed with a 2-inch blowoff at the waterline's western terminus for future extension.
Dedication of Propefi for Systems and Services
The project developer will dedicate streett public improvements, and easements as delineated and shown on the Final Map. Said dedications and public improvements include, but are not limited to; necessarystreet barricades for transitions of improved streets where they conform to existing street sections; and installation of a bikepath/parkway along with west side of the unnamed north/south street.
Resource Conservation Features
Homes offered for sale within the project will include several resource conservation features such as: a no costto homeowner solar energy system, ultra efficient hybrid water heaters, triple coated low-E windows, energy-efficient HVAC, and an R-6 insulated duct system. Landscape and irrigation will be low water while utilizing drought tolerant vegetation with consumption designs consistent with AB 1881 and City of Kingsburg ordinances.
Architectu ral Design a nd Aesthetic Conside rations
Cusbm homes or customized features on tract homes that prevent houses in the same development from appearing repetitious
Offering Four distinct models, The Retreat boasts living square footages, ranging from 1900 to 2500 squarefeet Each of the Four models will offer three elevation styles and eight separate color scheme choices that include stone, brick, cementous siding, capistrano and flat tile roofs, "wood look" foam detail embellishments around front windows, and Three separate exterior lighting choices. The color schemes offered will be mild earthtones and soft greys. Darker or bright colors will not be used in the development.
Fostering of neighborhood character
Three separate landscape options will be offered along with varying and meandering flower and shrub locations with no grass adjoining walkways while keeping with State of California MWELO requirements.
Recycled colored bark over protective weed barrier in the flower beds on drip irrigation will assist inkeeping the greenery well irrigated using low volumes of water and restricting weed grown within the flower beds. This enables the homeowners to have a less demanding maintenance regimen.
Compatibility with neighboring developments
The Retreat home style lines will accent the current Monarch I subdivision built by Century Communities.
Delreloper will maintain Gable and Hip roof styles similar to the adjacent subdivision.
Utilization of alleys for garage access from the rear
Plan 2050 will provide an alley loaded garage in keeping with the aesthetics of the adjoining neighborhood,however current City of Kingsburg Rear Alley Access Standards will be met for the use of all receptacles of trash, recycling, and green waste pick up.
Variable front yard setbacks
ln promoting the meandering set back curb appeal, varying setbacks of 5' between 5 adjacent models will promote the look and custom feel of the neighborhood. Side garage entry models will also createthe custom and individual feel of the homes.
Landscaping of street medians and parkways
Kamm avenue to the Northside of the subdivision will be widened to include a large width aesthetically pleasing landscape area adjoining the subdivision limit block walls. The block walls will be constructed of local materials per the City of Kingsburg Standard Drawing. A Landscape Architect willprepare the City Owned ROW landscape plans.
Pedestrian-friend ly design
Paths of travel will be maintained for easy pedestrian access from Kamm as well as all interior streets. The connectivity of The Retreat will be achieved through the use of landscaped paths of travel as well asconnecting of The Retreat to Monarch l.
Preservation of existing trees
There will not be a need to preserve any native plants and trees, the land is bare and unfarmed. With each home built two 15 gallon MWELO compliant trees will be planted in the front yards to promotecarbon offset, future shading, and create and aesthetically pleasing curb appeal.
Open space and recreation facilitiesWhile this small community does not feature a neighborhood park there is Veterans Park located within the Monarch I subdivision. The Retreat proposes a "fee in lieu:' of providing park space.

ATTACHMENT C
Discussion:
One project was submitted for the 2025 allocation process, a single-family subdivision from J. Crown Construction and Development, Inc. Due to the preliminary nature of the submissions, Staff is scoring the applications based on information submitted by the applicant with the knowledge that given the requirements of the zoning ordinance, the North Kingsburg Specific Plan and the entitlement process that is required, the proposed project will contain more of the required details needed for approval at the time that they submit for entitlements.
SUITABILITY OF LOCATION (25 points possible)
Criteria from the allocation application form: The City promotes compact and efficient development. Concentric patterns of growth are preferred. Infill development within the Urban Limit Boundary is encouraged. Leapfrog development and irregular boundaries are discouraged. Islands or corridors of unincorporated territory are to be avoided.
Projects will not be considered if the property identified in the application is not sufficiently contiguous to the City limits to allow for a logical and reasonable extension of the City limits as determined by the City. Using this information give details of your project. (Documentation may include a map and verbal description of location.) 25 POINTS Property is within City limits.
20 POINTS Infill project sufficiently surrounded by urban development. 15 POINTS Property is bordered by the City on more than one side. 10 POINTS Property is adjacent to the City within the Urban Limit Boundary. 5 POINTS Property is adjacent to the City but outside the Urban Limit Boundary. 0 POINTS Property is outside the Sphere of Influence and annexation is required.
Analysis:
The points system places emphasis on concentric and infill development and minimization of negative impacts to infrastructure and services. The Joseph Crown project is bordered on two sides and within the City Limits. The project will not need annexation and is inside The Urban Limit Boundary.
Joseph Crown Construction & Development, Inc. = 25 points INCLUSIONARY HOUSING (15 points possible)
Criteria from the allocation application form: The adopted Housing Element of the Kingsburg General Plan has an inclusionary housing policy calling for at least 15 percent of the housing units provided by each project to be affordable to low-income or very lowincome households. If the affordable units are not incorporated into the project, the developer may be able to comply with the policy by assisting the City in providing an equal number of affordable housing units elsewhere in the City by dedicating appropriate land or paying an in-lieu fee amount acceptable to the City. For each percentage point of affordable housing included in or provided for by a project, one scoring system point will be awarded up to a maximum of 15 points.
Analysis: The proposed project contains no affordable housing units. The response from applicants to this item over time are that they are supportive of inclusionary housing but do not include inclusionary products for this project. The current application cites a lack of funding in the form of financing set-asides as one of the factors in not including any affordable housing for this project. The City is aware of the challenges in meeting this criteria.
In the context of housing, there is a difference between having a wide range of housing affordability, driven by size of the lot, house and pricing, and what is termed inclusionary housing. Currently inclusionary housing is driven by complex tax credits and is a specialty of certain developers, often those who have projects statewide. One suggestion could be to alter this criteria for the next allocation period to award points based on a wide range of housing options (multifamily, large lot, etc.) rather than use the term ‘inclusionary’ or ‘affordable housing,’ terms that mean, for the time being, the involvement of a particular type of specialized financing.
Although the NKSP calls for a ‘full range of housing through the Planned Unit Development process (III-9)’, the City would benefit from further analysis as to how that goal can be accomplished.
This has been a consistent zero point score for most of the allocation applications that the City has reviewed over the years. It may be time to alter the criteria to reflect what might be more achievable with current building and financing practices. This would require an ordinance amendment to give guidance to project developers and staff to change this criteria, as it is in the municipal code.
Joseph Crown Construction=0 points
MEETING NEEDS, DEMANDS AND OBJECTIVES (20 points possible) Criteria from the allocation application form: The City’s adopted Housing Element emphasizes the accommodation of special-needs populations. Points will be awarded for projects that provide housing for populations that are underserved or have special needs that are not generally met in other projects. Examples include, without limitation, handicapped-accessible units or housing for senior citizens or large families. (Documentation may include descriptions of existing housing inventory and market conditions, demographics, explanations of challenges confronted by the developers, descriptions or drawings of proposed housing features, etc.) Four specific criteria are cited. If all are weighted equally, five points are available for each category. Staff has given points using the information that is available at this time.
Points will be awarded to projects that:
1. Provide housing for populations that are underserved or have special needs that are not generally met in other projects, such as handicappedaccessible units or housing for senior citizens or large families.
Staff Analysis: Although the narrative states that ‘housing options for senior or disabled households will be offered’, and there is a model with ‘ADA cabinetry’ and a fivebedroom option. It is not clear if these amenities will be built in as standard features or would only be available upon request and potential negotiation. (3 Points)
2. Expand the range of housing choices available in the community by offering configurations, densities and/or price ranges that are not otherwise readily available.
Staff Analysis: At this time, all of the offerings can be found in any newer subdivision in Kingsburg. It may be that what is required by the City is unusual and not otherwise readily available in other cities, but the product that is currently offered in this subdivision is similar to what Kingsburg currently has. (0 Points).
3. Satisfy demonstrated market demands (e.g. large lots, senior housing).
Staff Analysis: The narrative states the offering of up to five bedrooms, an alley loaded plan and potential three car garage offerings. The conceptual site plan shows a certain percentage of lots greater than 7,000 SF, but no specific details have been given at this time (5 Points)
4. Utilize properties that have been bypassed because they are challenging to develop.
Staff Analysis: Although this is the site of a formerly approved tentative map, there is not a known constraint to the actual property that poses a challenge to develop (1 Point).
Four specific criteria are cited. If all are weighted equally, five points are available for each category.
Nine points were credited to this part of the ranking process.
Joseph Crown Development= 9 points
INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES (25 points possible)
Criteria from the allocation application form: Preference will be given to projects that have the most positive impacts and/or the least negative impacts on infrastructure and services provided by the City and other service entities that operate within or provide services to the City. Documentation of infrastructure considerations and property dedications can take the form of written descriptions and commitments, maps and diagrams. Conservation features can also be documented with industry or manufacturer data and literature.
Scoring shall be based on the following criteria:
1. Proximity to existing infrastructure systems.
2. The extent of extension or expansion needed to increase the capacity of existing infrastructure to serve the proposed development and, if appropriate, future development.
3. The willingness of the developer to enter into a reimbursement agreement if the project involves construction of master-planned facilities and such an agreement is appropriate.
4. Agreement to construct and install new oversized infrastructure and/or construct and install new infrastructure that extends beyond the developer’s project in order to service future growth, with reimbursement to the developer pursuant to a reimbursement agreement providing for reimbursement by future development connecting to the oversized and/or extended infrastructure.
5. Dedication of real property to the City to improve systems and services, including, without limitation, rights-of-way for streets, alleys or green belts, or sites for water wells, lift stations, drainage basins (in accordance with the Storm Drain Master Plan), parks, and schools sites, etc.
6. Incorporation of resource conservation features, including, without limitation, active or passive solar systems, water conservation features, drought-tolerant landscaping and energy-efficient appliances.
Analysis:
This applicant is situated adjacent to development and will be constructing required infrastructure. Support of real property for other uses, such as pedestrian or bicycle paths and open space required by the City was mentioned by the applicant in the allocation application. More details concerning this category will be covered during the Site Plan Review and Planned Unit Development approval process.
There is a willingness to enter into a reimbursement agreement, to offer new infrastructure in accordance with City Standards and to dedicate property for systems and services per City requirements.
J Crown Development= 25
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND AESTHETIC CONSIDERATIONS (15 points possible)
Criteria from the allocation application form: Kingsburg continues to project an image as “The Swedish Village” which gives the City a unique identity. Residential housing should include distinctive design, quality construction and accompanying amenities. In addition to written descriptions, diagrams and maps, such documentation as elevations, renderings, floor plans and photographs of similar developments may help to illustrate the proposed project. In the case of walled and gated communities, aesthetics and amenities that are generally viewed by and available to residents and selected guests exclusively will not be considered in scoring in this Architectural Design and Aesthetic Considerations category. Only those features that are visible to the general citizenry outside of the walled and gated community will be evaluated.
Features that will receive points through the scoring system include:
1. Custom homes or customized features on tract homes that prevent houses in the same development from appearing repetitious.
2. Fostering of neighborhood character.
3. Compatibility with neighboring developments (for example lot sizes and square footage of homes).
4. Utilization of alleys for garage access from the rear.
5. Variable front yard setbacks.
6. Landscaping of street medians and parkways.
7. Green belts with pathways for pedestrians, skaters and bicyclists.
8. Pedestrian-friendly design.
9. Bicycle lanes in appropriate locations.
10. Preservation of existing trees.
11. Open space and recreation facilities.
(Specific examples are cited: custom homes or features on tract homes that keep them from appearing repetitious; fostering of neighborhood character; compatibility with neighboring developments; utilization of alleys for rear access; variable front yard setbacks; landscaping of medians and parkways; greenbelts with pathways for pedestrians, skaters and bicyclists; open space and recreation facilities; and pedestrianfriendly design.) Analysis:
The project will be held to development standards for single-family residential projects.
These standards include all the above requirements, and the project description indicates an understanding of those design standards as well as the required Swedish Village design concept, the required amenities and a willingness to comply with them. The project us proposing variable front yard setbacks, an alley loaded model home plan, and pedestrian connectivity to surrounding areas. This application included elevations and renderings.
Staff will continue work with the applicant in regards to potential amenities and aesthetic improvements, including a potential pocket park, installation of a bike path/parkway along the west side of the project, connectivity to the adjacent Century community, and the submittal of another potential model home design to increase the variety of offerings.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor Pursell, Jr. & City Council
REPORT FROM: Holly Owen, Community Development Director REVIEWED BY: AJH AGENDA ITEM: Title 17 (Zoning) Amendments and Creation of the Housing Element Implementation Overlay on Specific Parcels for Compliance with the 2023-2031 Kingsburg Housing Element
ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ___Resolution ____Motion ____Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
NOTE: This information is current as of the posting of the agenda and packet on November 27, 2024. Staff is awaiting information from California Dept. of Housing & Community Development (HCD) that could alter some of the information enclosed, including the staff recommendation. We will provide updates as they become available.
Kingsburg was part of the Multijurisdictional Housing Element process initiated in 2022 and coordinated by Fresno Council of Governments. The Housing Element is a State-mandated eight-year policy document that is a component of the Kingsburg General Plan. The overall purpose of the Housing Element is to identify current and projected housing needs, show locations where housing can be built, and set goals, policies, and programs to meet the community’s housing needs. Every city’s required Housing Element has policies and programs that must be implemented in order for the Housing Element to continue to be considered compliant with State requirements.
For Kingsburg, the 2023-2031 Housing Element was reviewed by Planning Commission on May 9, 2024, and by Council on July 17, 2024, where it was adopted. After adoption, the notice of adoption was sent to the State Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) on July 18, 2024. A letter stating that Kingsburg’s submitted Housing Element was in substantial compliance was sent to the City on September 16, 2024 (Attachment 2). Part of the requirements for certification of the Housing Element are to take action steps to ensure that the Housing Element remains in compliance in accordance with its programs. Most cities are required to include updates and changes to their zoning ordinance to reflect current State law. In addition, some cities are required to increase the development potential for identified properties in order to accommodate their share of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) targets.
As a result, the City has initiated an Amendment to Title 17 (Zoning) of the City’s Municipal Code in order to comply with the programs outlined in the City’s adopted Housing Element and to be consistent with the City’s adopted Housing Element. These amendments to the Municipal Code must be adopted before the end of 2024. These amendments to the Municipal Code to make the necessary modifications to implement the Housing Element, in addition to accommodating other housing-related regulations that have taken effect over the last several years, or that will become effective on January 1, 2025. On November 14, 2024, the Planning Commission was asked to review the proposed changes to Title 17 of the Kingsburg Municipal Code and make a recommendation of approval to the City Council. The Planning Commission voted 6-0 to not recommend to Council the proposed changes to the Zoning Ordinance.
Procedures. The following procedures have been updated or added to Title 17. Each of these procedures are required for compliance with specific State legislation. The amendments to Title 17 in detail are included as Attachment 1 to this staff report.
Meeting Date: 12/04/2024
Agenda Item: 6
• Accessory Dwelling Units
• Affordable Housing Density Bonus
Definitions. The following definitions have been added or amended to Title 17 for consistency with State mandated requirements.
• Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)
• Emergency Shelters
• Family
• Farmworker/Employee Housing
• Group Residential Facilities
• Low Barrier Navigation Centers
• Mobile Homes/Manufactured Housing
• Single Room Occupancy Units
Allowed Uses. The following uses have been added as permitted or conditionally permitted uses within the noted zone districts.
• Permitted uses in the following zones:
o Multifamily Residential (CH)
o Farmworker/Employee Housing (UR, RA, R, RM)
o Single Room Occupancy (Conditional Use/CH)
o Low Barrier Navigation Centers (PO, CH, MXU, FBC)
o Emergency Shelters (CH)
o Residential Care Facilities (Administrative approval UR, RA, R, RM) o Accessory Dwelling Units (UR, RA, R, RM, FBC)
o Transitional and Supportive Housing (RA, R, RM, CH, MXU, FBC) o Mobile Homes/Manufactured Housing (UR, RA, R, RM, )
Development Standards. Modifications to the following development standards are proposed to be consistent with State law for regulating the uses below:
• Off-street Parking for Multifamily Projects
• Minimum Site Area-amending RM-2.0 table to be consistent to 2,000 SF minimum site area per dwelling
CHANGE TO BASE DENSITY OF PARCELS AS REQUIRED BY THE HOUSING ELEMENT General: State law requires that the Housing Element identify adequate sites for housing by including an inventory of land suitable for residential development, including vacant sites and non-vacant sites having potential for redevelopment, with an analysis of the development capacity that can realistically be achieved for each site. The purpose of the Sites Inventory is to evaluate whether there are sufficient sites with appropriate zoning density to meet the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) of each jurisdiction. State law allows rezoning and/or redesignating of parcels identified in a housing element to address a shortfall of units within a certain amount of time after the adoption of the housing element. Pursuant to Government Code section 65583.4, subdivision (a), local governments have one year from the statutory deadline to complete any redesignations or rezones if the local government adopted a sixth cycle housing element and HCD found the adopted element to be in substantial compliance within one year of the statutory deadline.
The statutory deadline for those cities (including Kingsburg) participating in the Multijurisdictional Housing Element process in Fresno County was December 31, 2023. For those cities, any required redesignations/rezones are to be completed by December 31, 2024. Failure to adopt the required redesignations/rezones by December 31, 2024, will result in HCD revoking Kingsburg’s housing element compliance.
On November 21, 2024, City Staff had a conference call with Housing and Community Development (HCD) for the purpose of discussing the timing of completion of required actions as well as evaluation of several scenarios to
consider alternative parcels to meet the Regional Housing Needs Allocation numbers. HCD indicated a willingness to evaluate the City’s suggestions for alternatives to the current requirements and provide a response.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The first step in complying with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is to determine whether the activity in question constitutes a “project” as defined by CEQA (Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq.) and the CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, Section 15000, et seq.). A “project” consists of the whole of an action (i.e., not the individual pieces or components) that may have a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect effect on the environment. The second step is to determine whether the project is subject to or exempt from the statute. This proposal qualifies as a project under CEQA because it involves an amendment to the zoning ordinance as described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(a)(1).
Any proposed future development would be subject to CEQA analysis if subject to discretionary approvals. The zoning ordinance amendments and creation of the overlay district does not authorize any activity and would not cause any new significant environmental impacts or substantially increase the severity of significant environmental impacts disclosed in the General Plan EIR. Thus, the proposed project does not trigger any of the conditions in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 requiring preparation of a subsequent EIR and the appropriate environmental document as authorized by CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(b) is an addendum to the Kingsburg General Plan EIR, which was prepared by PlaceWorks for the Housing Element Update (Attachment 3).
Specific to Kingsburg: In the adopted Housing Element, the City of Kingsburg is required, as a condition of compliance from HCD, to amend the General Plan and Title 17 to address the RHNA requirements to provide adequate sites to address a shortfall of 209 units. Out of the sites inventory in the Kingsburg Housing Element, four parcels were identified to provide adequate sites to meet this Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) target.
All these parcels are currently zoned RM-3 and are designated Medium Density Residential in the General Plan. To comply with the requirement to meet the RHNA shortfall, the allowed base density for these four parcels will be a minimum of 20 dwelling units per acre. The new base density for the parcels will increase the maximum capacity of units for each parcel and help the City of Kingsburg meet its RHNA shortfall. An overlay district (the Housing Element Implementation Overlay District) has been created as a part of the amendment to Title 17 in order to implement the applicable program requirements adopted in the City’s Housing Element. A map identifying these four sites is included as Attachment 4.
The Housing Element Sites Inventory is evidence that the City has the land available to construct housing and to remove constraints whenever possible to housing at various income levels. Although there are annual reporting requirements to the State, regarding the RHNA, the city can only require that housing products be built in compliance with City development standards and zoning requirements.
Finally, unique to Kingsburg is the annual allocation process from the Grown Management Ordinance. Any project that wishes to seek entitlements will need to receive allocation units for the project. Allocation units are granted after a rating and ranking process is completed and after Council awards those units.
Potential Consequences for Kingsburg:
If Kingsburg fails to take action on the required changes to the zoning ordinance, including potential rezones, the City faces not only possible loss of State funding but loss of the remaining local control over project approval that is still allowed by the State. One potential consequence is that a project could come to Kingsburg using the “Builders Remedy.” This option, now allowed by AB 1886 (and recently AB1893), is part of California’s Housing Accountability Act. It allows developers to build housing projects even if they don’t comply with local zoning rules, such as height limits or density caps, as long as the City does not have an approved Housing Element. In essence, if a city is behind on its state-required housing element approval, developers can propose projects that the City wouldn’t normally approve—and the City must accept them. Our noncompliance status would be on a statewide database.

Clarifications/Options for
December 4, 2024
Fresno County Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element Update | City of Kingsburg 10 What the Housing Element Is
• One of the eight mandated elements of the General Plan • Plan for accommodating the jurisdiction’s “fair share” of the regional housing need (RHNA)
• Identifies sites that can accommodate the RHNA.
• Establishes programs (action items) that the jurisdiction must undertake during the cycle.
Fresno County Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element Update | City of Kingsburg 11 What the Housing Element Is Not
• Not a mandate to build housing, at any income level.
The private market does this.
• Not a mandate to build low-income housing. Any
rezoning being considered would not limit those
properties to only low-income development.
Fresno County Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element Update | City of Kingsburg 12 State Action
Since 2019:
285 bills related to Housing Elements were introduced, 125 of which were signed into law.
State created a Housing Accountability Unit to enforce many of these laws on local jurisdictions.
Fresno County Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element Update | City of Kingsburg 13 What Happens if the Housing Element Is Out
of Compliance?
The penalties for non-compliance have increased in scope and severity over the past few legislative cycles, and they currently include:
• Limited access to state funding, including transportation funding for local roadway maintenance and capital improvement projects. • Court imposed fines of up to $100,000 per month (up to $600k if not paid). The statute also allows the state to collect these fines by withholding state funding due to the city.
• Lawsuits: When community’s housing element is found to be out of compliance, its General Plan is at risk of being deemed inadequate and therefore invalid, opening the possibility for lawsuits & “Builder’s Remedy”.
Fresno County Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element Update | City of Kingsburg 14 What Happens if the Housing Element Is Out
of Compliance?
City of Clovis
In 2021, the City of Clovis was sued for non-compliance of the HE and was required to zone or rezone for 4,425 low-income units.
Major points in the settlement agreement include:
• The City of Clovis will establish a Local Housing Trust Fund and has committed to contributing at least $1.8 million dollars to support affordable housing developments.
• The City of Clovis will dedicate city-owned sites to the development of affordable housing.
Fresno County Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element Update | City of Kingsburg 15 Clarifications on Sites for Proposed Rezoning
• The proposed action by the Council is to rezone 4 parcels. There is no proposed or pending development project to build units at any of these locations.
• Each of the proposed sites is currently zoned RM-3, which allows for medium density development, including multi-family. They been zoned this since the General Plan was last updated in 1992.
• The Senior housing Project (Linnaea) built next to site 102 is also zoned RM-3 and is a subsidized housing project. It was completed in partnership with the Fresno Housing Authority.
• Most importantly, the inclusion of these properties (or any of the vacant sites) in the Housing Element does not require that a proposed development project must be low-income. It simply means that we are showing that we have the room to accommodate that type of housing.

Fresno County Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element Update | City of Kingsburg 18 Contact with HCD
To be used in the Low-Income category in the RHNA, must have a minimum density of 20 du/ac.
The 4 parcels in question are currently zoned RM-3, which is 14.5 du/ac. This means they must be rezoned, or we must find alternative sites designated as Low- income to allow us to meet our Low-income RHNA.
Alternatives Presented to HCD
• Amend the sites inventory to bring in alternative locations, some of which were not available during the HE process (Sites Have Since Been Annexed); would require amendment.
• Adjust calculations on pipeline projects given their actual approval. One Senior Low-Income project was estimated at 70 units; it was approved for 99 units; Add +13 for ADUs (+42 Low-income units); technical amendment. • Selection of sites. These sites were selected because they are already zoned for this type of development; albeit at a lower density.
Fresno County Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element Update | City of Kingsburg 19 HCD Response (12/2/2024):
“While it is certainly possible to make an amendment to the City’s sites inventory to bring in a new site to meet the City’s lower income RHNA, we would consider this change substantive and not merely technical. The City would therefore be required to submit a revised adopted housing element to us for review, which could take up to 60 days depending on the reviewer's workload.
The recalculating of capacity on sites already in the inventory for errors that weren’t caught in the initial adopted element would be more in line with what we consider technical changes, but any time new sites are being added and others taken out, it requires housing element readoption and additional analysis to demonstrate that the new site or sites are able to accommodate lower-income RHNA units.”
Fresno County Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element Update | City of Kingsburg 20 Option #1
Move Forward with Rezone of the 4 sites as Adopted in the Housing Element at 20 du/ac min and 30 du/min maximum.
• Ensures compliance by deadline outlined by HCD and complies with our adopted Housing Element.
Fresno County Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element Update | City of Kingsburg 21 Option #2
Provide technical correction of proposed sites.
• Would allow the council to remove 1 or 2 of the 4 sites from rezoning by making smaller changes to the original RHNA calculations.
• Rezone at 20 du/ac min and 25 du/ac max (lower maximum than proposed 30 du/ac)
• Still would require some rezone of sites.
• Viewed as less cumbersome by HCD than an amendment.
• Staff believes less likely for HCD intervention.

• Could potentially result in no need for upzoning. However, without additional analysis of vacant sites, staff cannot guarantee this outcome.
• Would be not be able to be completed by Dec. 31, 2024. Likely will take 6 mos. with HCD review. • Potential for HCD to decertify the currently compliant HE. • Potential for HCD to make other comments in the Housing Element after the amendment is submitted.
• Will include additional costs (dependent upon HCDs comments and analysis needed; e.g. AFFH) Fresno County Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element Update | City of Kingsburg 24 Existing

Except as otherwise provided in this code:
A. No structure or part thereof shall be erected, altered, added to or enlarged, nor shall any site or structure be used, designated or intended to be used for any purpose, or in any manner other than is included among the uses hereinafter listed as permitted or conditional in the district in which such structure, land or premises is located.
B. No structure or part thereof shall be erected, nor shall any existing structure be altered, enlarged or rebuilt or moved into any district, nor shall any open space be encroached upon or reduced in any manner, except in conformity to the yard, site area and building location regulations hereinafter designated for the district in which such structure or open space is located.

[17.42.005] Preamble—Kingsburg Downtown Form Based Code.
Introduction and Overview
The Downtown Form Based Code replaces the existing zoning code for Downtown Kingsburg. The foundation for this Code began in 2006 when the City completed the Kingsburg Downtown Revitalization Plan. This process focused on revitalization of the historic core of the City and identified several common goals, including preservation of Kingsburg's unique character and a desire to maintain the significance of the Downtown as the community grows. The Code preserves, enhances, and creates a "pedestrian friendly community" by reinforcing the unique character of Downtown Kingsburg.
Form Based Codes. Form based codes are an alternative approach to zoning that reinforces walkable mixed-use development and builds on the character of a place. Form based codes foster predictable built results and high-quality public spaces by using physical form (rather than the separation of uses) as the organizing principle. Form based codes are an alternative to conventional zoning. The following standards are typically found in a form based code:
a. "Transect zones" provide the basic building standards and list allowed building types and permitted uses.
b. "Building types" provide detail about the appropriate massing and form of buildings within a zone.
c. "Private frontage types" provide details on how a building relates to the street or public space.
d. "Thoroughfare types" provide components of walkable streets that balance the needs of vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists.
e. "Civic spaces" provide standards for a broad range of civic and open space.
In addition, the Code contains standards including parking, landscaping, fencing, screening, and signage.
The Downtown Form Based Code Transects. The transect is an organizing principle often used in Form Based Codes that focuses first on the character and type of place and second on the mix of uses. This differs from the framework found in conventional zoning in which use, rather than form, is the primary focus. The Downtown Form Based Code 54 1

transects have been defined to respond to the places within the downtown and include the Swedish Village core and supporting mixed use neighborhoods as follows:
A. FBC 1—Neighborhood Transition. The FBC 1 Neighborhood Transition Zone provides a flexible area adjacent to Kingsburg's downtown that can evolve to accommodate a variety of medium-density building types and compatible commercial uses while maintaining its existing form and character.
B. FBC 2—Main Street Transition. The FBC 2 Main Street Transition Zone provides a flexible area that can accommodate a range of neighborhood serving commercial, service, and residential uses in a medium-to high density, "Main Street" form. This Zone provides the ability for the City's Swedish Village to mature and expand over time, accommodating a range of building types.
C. FBC 3—Main Street. The FBC 3 Main Street Zone reinforces and enhances the walkable urban Swedish Village and enables its evolution into a complete neighborhood that provides locally and regionally serving retail and entertainment uses, civic and public uses, and a variety of urban housing choices.

G. Changes in use. After approval, a live/work unit shall not be converted to either entirely residential use or entirely business use unless authorized through Use Permit approval. No live/work unit shall be changed to exclusively residential use in any structure where residential use is not allowed, where two or more residential units already exist, or where the conversion would produce more than two attached residential units.

1. The proposed use of each live/work unit is a bona fide commercial or industrial activity consistent with this section;
2. The establishment of live/work units will not conflict with nor inhibit commercial or industrial uses in the area where the project is proposed;
3. The structure containing live/work units and each live/work unit within the structure has been designed to ensure that they will function predominantly as work spaces with incidental residential accommodations meeting basic habitability requirements in compliance with applicable regulations; and

17.42.114 Landscaping Standards.
A. Minimum dimensions. Each area of landscaping shall have a minimum interior width of six feet within the residential and commercial zones, and five feet in the industrial zones. These dimensions may be reduced where the Review Authority determines they are infeasible because of limited site area. Wherever this Zoning Code requires a landscaped area of a specified width, the width shall be measured within any curb or wall bordering the landscaping area.
B. Protective curbing. Required landscaping shall be protected with a minimum sixinch high concrete curb, except adjacent to bicycle paths, or where otherwise deemed unnecessary by the Director.
C. Safety requirements. Landscape materials and screening shall be located so that at maturity they do not:
1. Interfere with safe sight distances for bicycle, pedestrian, or vehicular traffic;
2. Conflict with overhead lights, traffic control signage, utility lines, or walkway lights; or
3. Block bicycle or pedestrian ways.
D. Use of lawns or turf. Lawns or turf shall be limited to 20 percent of the total landscaped area on the site and only where the applicant provides calculations approved by the Qualified Professional preparing the landscape plan that demonstrate that the irrigation requirements will not exceed standard low water usage.
E. Water features. Decorative water features (e.g., fountains, ponds, waterfalls) shall have recirculating water systems.
F. Maximum amount of single dwelling paving allowed.
1. Paving shall be limited to no more than 50 percent of the front or street side setback areas in order to limit the amount of hardscape paving in these areas; except that the review authority may reduce this requirement where it determines that an irregularly shaped or small lot lacks sufficient area for adequate driveway and pedestrian access.
2. Increases in the maximum amount of allowable hardscape paving may be approved by the Director if necessary to provide safe ingress and egress for the site.
3. No parking shall be allowed in the landscaped areas. 113

(Ord. No. 2015-10 , § 1(Exh. A), 9-16-2015)
17.42.115 Parking Lot Landscaping Standards.
A. Installation and maintenance of shade trees and landscaping. Parking lots shall be improved and permanently maintained by the property owner in accordance with the following standards.
1. Amount of landscaping. The Review Authority may grant an exception for small infill parking lots (particularly in the Transect zones) where compliance with these standards is not feasible without significantly reducing the development potential of the zone it is located within.
B. Location of landscaping. Landscaping shall be evenly dispersed throughout the parking area, as follows:
1. Orchard-style planting (the placement of trees in uniformly-spaced rows) is required for parking areas over 15 cars.
2. Parking lots with more than 50 spaces shall provide a concentration of landscape elements at primary entrances, including, at a minimum, specimen trees, flowering plants, enhanced paving, and project identification.
3. Landscaping shall be located so that pedestrians are not required to cross unpaved landscaped areas to reach building entrances from parked cars. This shall be achieved through proper orientation of the landscaped fingers and islands, and by providing pedestrian access through landscaped areas that would otherwise block direct pedestrian routes.

Parking areas for non-residential uses shall provide a perimeter landscape strip at least five feet wide (inside dimension) where the parking area adjoins a side or rear property line. The required width of the landscape strip may be reduced by the review authority where it first determines that certain factors would justify the reduction (e.g., the overall site area is insufficient to accommodate the allowable structures and required parking along with a landscape strip of the otherwise required width or that the otherwise required width would be inconsistent with the existing development patterns on adjacent properties). The requirement for a landscape strip may be satisfied by a setback or buffer area that is otherwise required. Trees shall be provided at the rate of one for each 25 linear feet of landscaped area, or other spacing as determined by the review authority to be appropriate to the site and surrounding development.
3. Adjacent to structures. When a parking area is located adjacent to a nonresidential structure, a minimum five-foot wide (inside dimension) landscape strip shall be provided adjacent to the structure, exclusive of any building entries, or areas immediately adjacent to the wall of the structure that serve as pedestrian accessways. The required width of the landscape strip may be reduced by the review authority where it first determines that certain factors would justify the reduction (e.g., the overall site area 116

The following criteria shall be used in reviewing the design of individual signs.
Compliance with each of the following design criteria shall be required before a sign permit can be approved.
A. Colors on signs and structural members should be harmonious with one another and relate to the dominant colors of the buildings on the site. Contrasting colors may be utilized if the overall effect of the sign is still compatible with the building colors.
B. The design and construction of signs shall adhere to the following criteria:
1. Except for sidewalk signs, banners, flags, temporary signs, and temporary window signs conforming with the requirements of this Code, each sign shall be constructed of permanent materials and shall be permanently attached to the ground, building or another structure by direct attachment to a rigid wall, frame, or structure.
2. Each permanent sign shall be designed by a professional (e.g. architect, building designer, landscape architect, interior designer, or others whose principal business is the design, manufacture, or sale of signs), or who are capable of producing professional results.
3. Each permanent sign shall be constructed by persons whose principal business is building construction or a related trade including sign manufacturing and installation, or others capable of producing professional results. The intent is to ensure public safety, achieve signs of careful construction, have neat and readable copy, and have durability, to reduce maintenance and prevent dilapidation.
4. Vinyl banner signs may not be used as permanent signage.
C. The materials and structure of signs shall adhere to the following criteria:
1. Sign materials (including framing and supports) shall be representative of the type and scale of materials used on the site where the sign is located. Sign materials shall match those used on the buildings on the site and any other signs on the site.
2. No sign shall include reflective material.
3. Materials for permanent signs shall be durable and capable of withstanding weathering over the life of the sign with reasonable maintenance.
4. The size of the structural members (e.g. columns, crossbeams, and braces) shall be proportional to the sign panel they are supporting.
5. The use of individual letters incorporated into the building design is encouraged, rather than a sign with background and framing other than the structure of the wall. 135

D. The City does not regulate the message content (copy) of signs; however, the following are principles of copy design and layout that can enhance the readability and attractiveness of signs. Copy design and layout consistent with these principles is encouraged, but not required.
1. Sign copy should relate only to the name and/or nature of the business or building.
2. Permanent signs that advertise information such as continuous sales, special prices, or include phone numbers should be avoided. Information should be conveyed briefly or by logo, symbol or other graphic manner. The intent should be to increase the readability of the sign and thereby enhance the identity of the business.
3. Sign lighting shall be designed to minimize light and glare on surrounding rightsof-way and properties and adhere to the following criteria:
a. External light sources shall be directed and shielded so that they do not produce glare off the site, or on any object other than the sign. b. Signs that blink, flash, flutter, or change light intensity, brightness, or color are not allowed.
c. Neither the direct nor reflected light from primary light sources shall create hazards for pedestrians or operators of motor vehicles. d. For energy conservation, light sources shall be hard-wired fluorescent or compact fluorescent lamps, or other lighting technology that is of equal or greater energy efficiency.

17.42.130 Swedish Village Standards and Guidelines.
17.42.131 Applicability.
A. The following architectural standards and guidelines achieve the architectural theme of a "Swedish Village" for the Downtown Form Based Code area. Rather than providing a strict set of standards that preclude innovation and creativity in achieving the Swedish Village concept, these standards and guidelines establish parameters by which the Architectural Design Review Committee can judge the acceptability of a given proposal with respect to the Swedish Village Concept. Design review provisions of this Section shall apply to any permitted or conditional use that requires Planning Commission review other than single-family dwellings or multiple-family dwellings of no more than two units. There shall be no exceptions to such application except as may be granted for historic structures designated by resolution of the City Council.
B. Exemptions. Structures designated as historic shall be exempt from these standards and guidelines. Exemptions shall be made for all structures which have been officially designated on the National Register of Historic Places or which are designated as a Registered Historical Landmark by the State of California. Exemptions may also be designated by the City Council upon the advice of the Kingsburg Historical Society. The City Council shall maintain a Master List of Historic Structures exempt from these standards and guidelines. For purposes of City designations, only structures which meet the criteria below will be eligible for consideration by the City Council:
1. A structure may be designated a Local Architectural Landmark if it is a prototype or an outstanding example of a period, style, architectural movement or method of construction, or if it is a notable work or the best surviving work of a pioneer architect, designer or master builder.

2. An architectural landmark generally will be considered only on its original site if its significance is basically derived from its design relationship to its site.
3. A reconstructed or extensively rehabilitated building generally will not be considered unless no other authentic structure of its type survives within the community.
4. Local Architectural Landmarks achieving recognition since 1940 will be considered only if they possess exceptional design merit of transcendent significance.
5. The site must be visibly accessible to the public.
6. Only the exterior walls, roof and other exterior features of a structure shall be subject to the application of these criteria. Interiors may be modified as necessary to accommodate approved uses or changes.

Chapter 17.48 COMBINING AND OVERLAY DISTRICTS*
17.48.010 PUD—Planned unit development combining district.
A. PUD—Purposes and Application. The PUD—planned unit development combining district is intended for application to those residential, professional office, commercial and industrial base zoning districts which are designated by the general plan and/or city council as areas to assure that property will be developed in a manner superior to that which otherwise would be achieved through regulations of the base zoning district involved. The PUD combining district is also intended as an optional approach to achieving the purposes of Chapter 17.76, at the discretion of the city rather than the landowner.
B. PUD—Applicable Regulations and Procedures. The development of property within a PUD combining district shall be subject to all of the regulations and procedures of Chapter 17.76.
(Ord. 92-11 § 1 (part), 1992: Ord. 408 (part), 1982)

1. Within commercial base zoning districts, on any site of such a size and configuration that a mixture of businesses is determined to appropriate, such as a commercial subdivision or business park.
2. Those residential, commercial and industrial base zoning districts which lay within the boundaries of the city's redevelopment project area(s), and which are designated as areas characterized by a mixture of uses, blighted structures and sites, and/or inadequate street and alley improvements. The MXU combining district is to be applied to those redevelopment project areas selected by the city council as meeting the purposes of this section.
Use arrangements within the areas designated MXU are to be made physically, functionally and aesthetically compatible through site plan review, architectural design review, PUD (planned unit development) procedures, or a combination thereof, as determined by the city council.
B. Applicable Regulations and Procedures. The MXU combining district provides the flexibility needed to achieve the following goals:
1. To facilitate full development of large pieces of commercial property, different portions of which may have varying degrees of suitability and desirability for development for particular types of businesses.
2. To improve land use conditions within redevelopment project areas under conditions of uncertainty as to the types of uses that may be proposed or that may be economically feasible for specific properties over time.
Under mixed use, all categories of land use shown on the general plan diagram are eligible for consideration. Because the best potential use for some properties may be more clear-cut than for others, the base land use designations of the general plan provide guidance for the selection of those base zoning districts to be applied. However, such guidance does not abrogate the potential and flexibility offered for mixed use.
An application for a building permit, site plan review or PUD will initiate the process for determining an appropriate development proposal under mixed use regulations. The planning commission shall make a determination as to which procedures shall be followed under the provisions of Chapters 17.68, 17.72 and 17.76 of this title.
C. Low barrier navigation centers allowed. The MXU combining district shall allow low barrier navigation centers as a permitted use.

has the opportunity to purchase or otherwise acquire the land for the intended public use.
In order to assure reasonable use of lands until needed for public purposes, interim private use is allowed. Interim use may include any existing use of the property, or the remodeling or conversion of an existing use in such manner that it does not preclude the ability to physically remove and relocate existing structures to other sites. Uses to be remodeled or converted in use shall be subject to the provisions of Chapter 17.60 of this ordinance requiring administrative approval by the city.
Interim use of vacant parcels of land designated for future public use by the general plan or zone plan shall be permitted an interim use as may be approved by the planning commission or city council under the provisions of Chapter 17.68 of this title. Interim uses proposed shall be compatible with the purposes of the applicable base zoning district, with any structures involved to be capable of physical removal and relocation to another site.

17.48.040 HB—Highway beautification overlay district.
A. Statement of Intent. The HB—Highway beautification overlay district is intended to promote attractive development along highways of regional and interregional importance in Kingsburg and Fresno County. In the past, development along important highways, such as State Route 99, has often treated these important transportation routes like back alleys, fronting the highway with unembellished rears of buildings, junk storage, utility equipment, and trash receptacles. This has given the traveling public, particularly out-of-town visitors, a negative image of Kingsburg and Fresno County, and has also damaged Fresno County's image of itself. The regulations of this district are designed to ensure that our important highways present Fresno County's best side, not its worst, to the traveling public. These regulations seek to encourage continued growth in commerce while contributing to the aesthetic enhancement of the district, balancing the economic health of our community with achievements in a visually improved corridor.
B. Area of Applicability. The HB—highway beautification overlay district shall apply to the following areas:

Chapter 17.50 RIGHT TO FARM*
17.50.010 Findings and policy.
It is the declared policy of this city to preserve, protect, and encourage the use of viable agricultural lands for the production of food and other agricultural products. When nonagricultural land uses extend into agricultural areas nearby, such operations frequently become the subjects of nuisance complaints. As a result, agricultural operators are often forced to cease or curtail their operations. Such conflicts discourage investments in farm improvements to the detriment of adjacent agricultural uses and the economic viability of the city's agricultural industry. It is the purpose and intent of this chapter to reduce the loss to the city of its agricultural resources by clarifying the circumstances under which agricultural operations may be considered a nuisance and thereby lessening conflicts between agricultural operations and non-agricultural uses. It is therefore a requirement of all persons who wish to sell real property or apply for building permits within the city to provide a disclosure statement as set forth in Section 17.50.040 or Section 17.50.060.

17.52.010 Purposes and application.
In order to alleviate progressively or to prevent traffic congestion and shortage of curb spaces, off-street parking and off-street loading facilities shall be provided incidental to new land uses and major alterations and enlargements of existing land uses. The number of parking spaces and loading berths shall be in proportion to the need for such facilities as created by the particular type of land use. Off-street parking and loading areas are to be laid out in a manner which will ensure their usefulness, protect the public safety and, where appropriate, insulate surrounding uses from their impact.
Provisions of this chapter are also intended to deal with problems, conditions and needs which are apparent in attempting to provide sufficient off-street parking facilities in areas of intense commercial development, including:
A. The difficulty in assembling land by private means, including the often excessive time required;
B. The varying financial capabilities and traffic generating characteristics among varying types of commercial enterprise;

1. Seventy-five (75) percent of the parking facilities required for a use considered to be primarily a daytime use may be provided by the parking facilities of a use considered to be primarily a nighttime use, or the reciprocal; provided however, that such parking area shall meet the conditions set forth for in-lieu payments in Subsection K.3., below.
2. The following uses are typical daytime uses: banks, business offices, retail stores, personal services, manufacturing or wholesale uses and similar uses. The following uses are typical nighttime uses: dance halls, theaters, bars, auditorium and restaurants that only serve dinners.
3. The following are conditions required for joint use:
a. The building or use for which application is made for authority to utilize the existing off-street parking facilities provided by another building or use shall be located within two hundred (200) feet from such parking facility. b. The applicant shall show that there is no substantial conflict in the principal operating hours of the building or uses for which the joint use of off-street parking facilities is proposed.

The covenant herein required shall stipulate that the title to and right to use the parcel or parcels upon which the parking space is to be provided will be subservient to the title to the premises upon which the building is to be erected and that said parcel or parcels are not and will not be made subject to any other covenant or contract for use without prior written consent of the city.

J. Common Facilities. Common parking facilities may be provided in lieu of the individual requirements contained herein, but such facilities shall be approved by the planning commission as to size, shape and relationship to sites to be served. The total of such off-street parking spaces, when used together, shall not be less than the sum required for the various uses computed separately, except as follows:
1. Where joint use is allowed.
2. When such common parking facility is to occupy a site three thousand (3,000) square feet or more, a fifteen (15) percent reduction in the total number of spaces shall be permitted.

K. In-Lieu Payments for Uses within the central business district. In lieu of furnishing the parking spaces and facilities required by the provisions of this section for uses within the central business district, the requirements thereof may be satisfied by electing one of the following options:
1. Payment to the city of an amount of money, per parking space, for each parking space required by the provisions of this article, equal to fifty (50) percent of the value of a parking space, which value shall be fixed annually by the city council based on the city's experience in the cost of developing municipal off-street parking facilities. The payments of such money shall constitute full compliance with the provisions of this section, and the city shall provide such spaces for the benefit of the public as part of, and through the expansion of, the city's municipal off-street parking program. The city shall construct, maintain and manage such spaces at such locations and at such times as will best benefit the public-at-large in accordance with the policies and programs of the off-street parking plan of the city as adopted by the council.
2. Construction of such off-street parking spaces and facilities as reasonably may be provided in view of the physical limitations of the property available for such purpose and the deposit of money with the city in accordance with the provisions, and under the terms of Subsection K.1., above, for the remainder of the off-street parking spaces and facilities required by this section; or
3. With the consent of the council, the owner of the property or use for which twenty (20) or more off-street parking spaces are required may deposit with the city an amount of money, per parking space for each parking space required by the provisions of this 206

article, equal to seventy-five (75) percent of the value of a parking space, which value shall be fixed annually by the council based on the city's experience in the cost of developing municipal off-street parking facilities. The payment of such money shall constitute full compliance with the provisions of this section, and the city shall provide such spaces for the benefit of the public as a part of, and as an expansion of, the city's municipal off-street parking program. The city shall construct, maintain and manage such spaces within four hundred (400) feet of the exterior boundaries of the property or use for which the spaces were originally required and within a time period determined by the mutual agreement of the depositor and the council.
Whenever a payment of money is made to the city in lieu of the provision of parking spaces and facilities required by this section, such money shall be deposited in a special fund and shall be used and expended exclusively for the purpose of acquiring and developing off-street parking facilities as an expansion of the city's municipal off-street parking program. The value of an off-street parking space, to be fixed annually by the council, shall be determined in such a manner that it will reflect reasonably the actual unit parking space costs to the city for the acquisition and development of parking facilities.
Whenever a payment of money is made to the city in lieu of the provision of parking spaces and facilities required by this section, the payment may be made in equal monthly installments, with interest, over the maximum period of time possible consistent with attaining the objectives of the city's municipal off-street parking program. The time period for such payment shall be stated in an agreement with the city for payment, with the first installment due and payable upon execution of the agreement with the city for such payment. No use permit shall become effective, nor shall any building permit be approved, where in lieu payments are required, until such agreement has been duly executed.
