Meeting Date: March 6, 2024
Title: City of Live Oak 2023 General Plan Annual Progress Report Contact Information: Kevin Valente, AICP, Contract Planner Location: Citywide.

Background: All cities and counties in California are required to prepare a long-term comprehensive plan, known as a General Plan, to cover a wide range of issues to guide future growth. General Plans are required to have following components or Elements: Land Use, Circulation, Housing, Conservation, Open Space, Noise, Safety, and Environmental Justice. Pursuant to Government Code (GC) Section 65400, California now requires an annual report on the status of the General Plan and progress in its implementation.

Part of the State's requirement is the presentation of the report to the local legislature, which is the Live Oak City Council.

Analysis: The attached Annual Progress Report Memo provides an overview to the California Office of Planning and Research summarizing the progress the City of Live Oak has made in implementing the programs contained within the General Plan in order to achieve the adopted Goals and Policies.

Overall, the City of Live Oak has made great progress towards reaching its goals related to Land Use, Circulation, Community Character, Conservation and Open Space, Economic Development, Public Utilities, Services, and Facilities, Parks and Recreation, Public Safety, and Noise.

The City of Live Oak is now beginning the steps to update the existing General Plan, which is a multi-year project.

General Plan Annual Progress Report
11 TO: Office of Planning and Research
FROM: Live Oak Planning Department
CONTACT: Kevin Valente, Contract Planner
[email protected]; (916) 372-6100
SUBJECT: City of Live Oak General Plan Annual Progress Report DATE: March 6, 2024
The Live Oak General Plan Annual Progress Report for reporting year 2024 was received and filed by the Live Oak City Council on March 6, 2024.

The Live Oak General Plan was adopted in 2012 and serves as the foundational document when making planning decisions concerning land use and development. The guiding principles in the General Plan include:
 Maintaining the small-town character of Live Oak;
 Encouraging development that has unique and high-design and creates a sense of place;
 Support for local social and cultural activities;
 Guiding the growth of the downtown area as the City continues to grow;  Creating local employment opportunities;
 Generating fund to maintain and improve infrastructure and public services; and  Prioritizing pedestrian and bicycle safety and convenience.

The Live Oak General Plan also places emphasis on creating balanced neighborhoods.

Neighborhoods should have an activity center with higher activities uses, with density and intensity decreasing as one moves away from that core. The Live Oak General Plan also highlights the need for a balanced land use mix as to create balanced neighborhoods.

This document will provide an overview of the implementation programs contained within the Live Oak General Plan. Overall, the City of Live Oak has made great progress towards reaching its goals. Below includes an analysis of the implementation programs that have been completed since the adoption of the Live Oak General Plan.
12 2
Land Use Element
In 2009, a Wastewater Collection System Master Plan and a Water Master Plan were created for Live Oak. The Wastewater Collection System Master Plan analyzed the existing systems in place and created new recommendations and identified areas needing improvement. The Water Master Plan analyzed the current water demand, existing facilities, and provided recommendations for improvements. In 2011 the Master Drainage Study was prepared, which analyzed current conditions for drainage and areas of concern (LU-2.1).

The Live Oak Zoning Regulations were also amended in 2012 to implement the goals and policies of the Live Oak General Plan through the designation of compatible land uses, residential densities and intensity of uses (LU-3.2). The zoning update also created more flexible development standards for the Downtown Combining Zone District (LU-4.2). These standards include no minimum yard setbacks and no on-site parking or loading is required. This change helps to encourage full redevelopment of targeted revitalization areas (LU-4.2).

Circulation Element
In regards to circulation, the City has made progress towards the goals set in place in the General Plan by updating Section 17 - Zoning of the Live Oak Municipal Code. This update of the Zoning Code included the following purposes:
 To implement the goals and policies of the Live Oak General Plan through the designation of compatible land uses, residential densities and intensity of uses;  To promote and protect the public’s health, safety, comfort, convenience, and general welfare;
 To provide open space, light and air, privacy, convenience of access, aesthetic values and protection of public and private improvements;
 To protect the social and economic stability of residential, commercial and industrial uses and activities through orderly and planned use of land; and  To minimize the process necessary to obtain rights to develop property while fulfilling the objectives provided above.

Through the update of the Zoning Code, development is intentional and serves to improve the circulation and flow throughout the City. The City has also secured funding for an AB 1600 Fee Study Update, which will include the study of areawide serving transportation facilities, such as railroad and State Route 99 in the northern portion of the City.

In partnership with Caltrans, the City has completed the State Route 99 Live Oak Streetscape, Safety and Roadway Improvement Project (CIRC-8). This project rehabilitated State Route 99 to a 40-year pavement life, upgraded the drainage systems, flattened the roadway cross slopes, improved traffic signals at three intersections of State Route 99 at Pennington Road, Elm Street, and Kola Street (CIRC-6). The project also created a pedestrian focused downtown environment by enhancing parking and building access, wayfinding and signage, landscaping and facilities for 13 3
bicyclists and pedestrians, and upgraded curb ramps to current American with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards (CIRC-7).

The City continues to seek funding to assess transportation impact fees and plan transportation improvements to decrease congestion while considering impacts to pedestrian, bicycle, and public transit safety and convenience.

Community Character
In 2011, the Citywide Design Guidelines were adopted to provide diversity in building design as well as improve the character of streetscapes and implement the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan, and provide guidance for the orderly development of the City and promote high-quality development (DESIGN-1 and -2). These guidelines have since been utilized when reviewing planning projects and guide developers and planners to create unique designs that contribute to the community character of Live Oak.

The aforementioned State Route 99 Live Oak Streetscape, Safety and Roadway Improvement Project has also contributed to the community character of Live Oak. This project has benefited motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists while contributing to the economic welfare of the state and local economy. This project also creates a standard for future rehabilitation or development projects with regards to the streetscape and pedestrian focused design (DESIGN-3 and -6).

Conservation and Open Space Element
The City’s survey and mitigation requirements for special-status wildlife species are consistent with the current guidance from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (BIO-1). This includes pre-construction surveys and specific guidelines for specific species. The City continues to coordinate with the Feather River Air Quality Management District to ensure assumptions and control measures form new air quality plan updates are implemented, as appropriate (AIR-4).

The City also continues to require development projects to protect Native American and prehistoric resources (CULTURAL-1). Development projects are also required to preserve the community’s historically significant sites and buildings (CULTURAL-2).

The City also continues to identify and take advantage of state and federal grants, low-interest financing, and other funding mechanisms for energy efficiency retrofits and alternative energy projects for civic, residential, and commercial buildings (ENERGY-4). Drought-tolerant plants are also now included in the City’s landscaping requirements (WATER-2).

Economic Development
The Citywide Design Guidelines address facades, architectural style, scale, and creating pedestrian oriented visual interests (ED-1.2 and -1.3). The City also conducted an analysis on work 14 4
commuter patterns as part of the 2021-2029 Housing Element. The analysis found that majority of Live Oak residents travel less than 30 minutes from home to work and only nine percent travel an extended amount of time (60 or more minutes). The number of employed persons divided by the number of households shows that there is nearly one job for households. This analysis indicates that many of the jobs are within 20 miles of the City and that there is a strong jobs/housing balance (ED-4.1).

Public Utilities, Services, and Facilities
In 2009, the Live Oak Water Master Plan was created to provide for phased improvements to meet future needs (PUBLIC-1.1). This master plan includes inventory of the existing facilities, estimates of future demand, and estimates of future growth within area planned for annexation.

This Water Master Plan is to be updated as necessary. The City of Live Oak Master Drainage program was created in March 2011 and was last updated in 2022. This Master Drainage Plan identifies deficiencies and provides for drainage improvements in the existing developed City (PUBLIC-4.1).

Parks and Recreation Element
The Live Oak Parks and Recreation Department seeks to provide safe and enjoyable activities that encourage participation by the entire community. A Parks and Recreation Master Plan has not yet been prepared by the City (PARKS-1), but the Parks and Recreation Department continues to work to provide recreational opportunities and coordinate seasonal activities and youth programs.

Public Safety
Many of the public safety measures included in the General Plan relate to flooding and many of the efforts made to ensure public safety have involved evaluating flood hazards and implementing mitigation measures. In 2016, the City of Live Oak amended the General Plan to be consistent with the Central Valley Flood Protection Act of 2008 (PS-3). This amendment included the assessment of current flood protection. In order to minimize the loss of life and damage to property caused by flood events, the City coordinates with the Sutter Butte Flood Control Agency to ensure that the flood control facilities protecting Live Oak’s Planning Area from flood risks to the City are well maintained and capable of protecting existing and proposed structures from flooding. The City continues to evaluate potential flood hazards before approving development projects.

Noise Element
The noise regulations within the Live Oak Municipal Code have not been updated within the last 30 years. The City ensures that the personnel charged with enforcing the noise regulations are properly trained and equipped for on-site measurement techniques and other necessary tasks (NOISE-2). The City continues efforts for transportation planning and improvement programs 15 5
that are consistent with the General Plan (NOISE-3). The City also aims to coordinate with Union Pacific Railroad with the goal of establishing a Quiet Zone within the city limits of Live Oak, as feasible (NOISE-4).

Conclusion
The City of Live Oak continues to review the General Plan annually, and is currently in the process of initiating a comprehensive General Plan update.

Report to City Council
Meeting Date: March 6, 2024
Title: Live Oak 2023 Housing Element Annual Progress Report Contact Information: Kevin Valente, AICP, Contract Planner Location: Citywide.

Background: California requires each jurisdiction to prepare a Housing Element as part of its General Plan in order to ensure that all jurisdictions are planning for the projected housing demand throughout California.

California Government Code Section 65400 requires that an Annual Progress Report (APR) be prepared on the status and progress of implementation of the Housing Element and submitted to the City Council, the State Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) by April 1st of each year. The contents of the report are specified in state law, and include detailed reporting on planning approvals, building permits, and program implementation as specified in the Housing Element. The Live Oak 2024 Housing Element Annual Progress Report can be found in Attachment 1.

Analysis: In 2023, the City of Live Oak approved 18 residential building permits. All 18 of the residential building permits were for market-rate single-family detached homes.

The Housing Element Annual Progress Report is required by the State of California to be completed on an annual basis. Staff recommends that the Live Oak City Council receive and file the Live Oak 2024 Housing Element Annual Progress Report and provide direction to staff to submit the City of Live Oak Housing Element Annual Progress Report to the State prior to the April 1, 2024 deadline.

Fiscal Impacts: None.

Although the vacant land survey
conducted as part of the housing
element preparation, identified
sufficient amount of vacant land to
accommodate housing for all
income groups for the city's share of
the Regional Housing Needs
Allocation (RHNA), the city will do
the following to ensure the hosuing
accomodation remains for the entire
planning period:
- The city will prepare applications
for state planning grants and
applications for state and federal
project development grants to
collect as much funding as possible.
- Inform property owners and
developers of regulatory and
financial incentives through direct
contacts with affordable housing
providers in Live Oak, the
distribution of a brochure explaining
the city’s residential property
development standards at the city’s
permit counter and post of
information on the city’s web site,
and mail to owners of recorded
31-Dec-23 The City of Live Oak is currently preparing the environmental review analysis for the rezone of approximately 8.87 acres for high density residential. 23 2
Investigate ways to encourage
residential infill development on
vacant and under-utilized lots in
older sections of the city. Use the
city’s GIS system to provide
information to the public concerning
the supply of vacant and
underutilized lots in the city,
including commercial and retail sites
with opportunities for mixed use and
second floor residential. Apply for
funding for state and federal
planning and development grants to
develop these sites to assist in
accommodating a portion of the
city’s RHNA.

Ongoing The City of Live Oak is currently preparing the environmental review analysis for the rezone of approximately 8.87 acres for high density residential. 3 In compliance with State law, the
city will review the zoning code and
amend as necessary to allow small
residential care facilities serving six
or fewer clients in all residential
zones without a conditional use
permit.
31-Dec-22 The City is using LEAP grant funding to review and amend the zoning code as necessary for compliance with new State laws.
24 4
Consistent with Assembly Bill (AB)
1866, the city will continue to
support the use and construction of
second units on single family
residential lots to provide additional
affordable housing options. The city
will create and distribute brochures
containing information about the
benefits of building second units
and the city’s permitting process.

Ongoing The City adopted an ADU ordinance to further support the construction of secondary units.
5 Annually, the city will work with the
Sutter County Social Services &
Welfare Department and regional
non-profit organizations providing
services for the homeless to find
ways Live Oak can assist in
addressing homelessness in the
region. Explore alternative housing
options for the homeless or people
in danger of becoming homeless,
such as shared housing. In addition,
the city will provide information on
homeless services, including
emergency shelters, transitional
housing, and food banks on the
city’s website and on brochures
available at city hall.

Ongoing The City is currently working with Habitat for Humanity to provide additional hosuing options for individuals that are at high risk of becoming homeless. 25 6
The city will encourage the use of
density bonuses in accordance with
the State Density Bonus Law.

These incentives may include, but
are not limited to reductions in
zoning standards, different
development standards and design
criteria, mixed-use zoning, or
expedited staff review and permit
processing.

Ongoing The City encourages developers to use density bonuses. 7 Encourage the construction of 3-
and 4-bedroom units when
subsidized affordable multi-family
projects are proposed within the
city. The city will coordinate with the
Sutter County Housing Authority to
encourage inclusion of larger rental
units. The city will ensure that
development standards do not
impede the development of larger
uses, including parking, open space
requirements, and other
requirements.

Ongoing The City has been working with the Regional Housing Authority on the Kristen Court Apartments project that includes 3- and 4- bedroom units. 26 8
Participate in financing programs
and agreements such as mortgage
credit and bond financing to provide
assistance to first time lower and
moderate-income homebuyers. In
addition, the city will determine the
feasibility of participating in a
consortium with other public
agencies to take advantage of taxexempt bond financing. Assist the funding of these programs through
the submission of HOME
applications. Feasibility will be
based on the amount of funding
that could be used within the city in
relation to the cost of participation
and the attractiveness of these
certificates to first-time
homebuyers. By 2022, the city will
identify existing public agency
consortiums and determine the
most feasible group in which to
participate. The availability of these
programs will continue to be
publicized locally through brochures
and quarterly newsletters available
on the city’s website and city hall,
Ongoing
The Regional Housing Authority purchased the Centennial Arms property and extended affordability until October 20, 2041. The City has also worked with the Housing Authority to secure $2 million in HOME for construction of the Maple Park Phase 1 Development, which began renting 56 new units affordable to families at 30 to 60 percent of the area median income in January 2013. The unit numbers were accounted under the 2012 year as the building permits were pulled in 2012. In 2015 building permits (34 units) were obtained for Phase II Senior apartments for low income housing, along with $4.5 million in HOME funds from the City. 27 9
Provide assistance in preparing
funding applications for affordable
housing projects proposed by or
with the Sutter County Housing
Authority. By 2022, the city will also
consider providing staff support in
providing needed information for
funding requests to increase the
likelihood of receiving state or
federal funding. To promote its
application assistance efforts, a
representative of the city will meet
annually, and additionally during the
year as needed, with the housing
authority to determine their interest
in, and plans for, constructing
affordable housing in Live Oak.

Based on the clients to be served
by proposed projects and the type
of housing and services to be
incorporated into funding requests,
the city will assist the housing
authority in identifying the most
appropriate state and/or federal
funding sources.

Ongoing
The City works with the Housing Authority and non-profit housing on any potential development of vacant properties. In 2020 the City worked with the Housing Authority on Phase II of Kristen Court, low-income apartments and starting the process for Phase III of Kristen Court.
28 10
The city will meet with
representatives of each of the
locally/regionally-based lending
institutions to determine their
interest in funding community
development and housing activities,
including participation in Federal
Home Loan Bank Board affordable
housing programs. For participating
lenders, the city will serve as a
liaison between the institution and
housing providers seeking funding
sources for their projects.

Provide impact fee credits, or delay
payment of development impact
fees for affordable housing
development until the certificates of
occupancy is issued, instead of at
issuance of a building permit.

Ongoing The City provided at least $175,000 in fee credits as funding support for Phase II of the Maple Park development.
29 13
The city will prioritize service for
affordable housing. The city
provides water and wastewater
service. Although this is not
currently planned, it is possible in
the future that the city could
contract with another water or
sewer service provider. If this
happens, the city will provide a copy
of the adopted housing element to
such water and wastewater service
providers and ensure that they are
aware of their legal requirement to
prioritize service for affordable
housing. Refer to Government
Code Section 65589.7 in the
conditions of approval for
subdivisions that require “will-serve”
letters from sewer and water
districts.

Ongoing

To comply with the state Employee
Housing Act (Health and Safety
Code Sections 17021.5 and
17021.6), the city will review the
zoning code and amend as
necessary. Health and Safety Code
Section 17021.5 requires the zoning
codes to treat employee/farmworker
housing that serves six or fewer
persons as a single-family structure
and permitted in the same manner
as other single-family structures of
the same type in the same zone in
all zones allowing single-family
residential uses. Section 17021.6
requires that employee/farmworker
housing consisting of no more than
12 units or 36 beds be treated as an
agricultural use and permitted in the
same manner as other agricultural
uses in the same zone.
31-Dec-23 The City is using LEAP grant funding to review and amend the zoning code as necessary for compliance with new State laws.
31 15
The city shall continue code
enforcement to expedite the
removal of illegal or unsafe
dwellings, to eliminate hazardous
site or property conditions, and
resolve chronic building safety
problems. In addition, the city will,
on a request basis, arrange for
inspections of residential properties
where building code violations may
be present and may need to be
corrected. The city will seek funding
to pay for the relocation expenses
of low-income residents displaced
as a result of the condemnation or
required vacation of dwelling units
due to code violations. The city will
follow the requirements of state law
regarding the demolition or
conversion of dwelling units
occupied by lower-income
households within the city.

Ongoing The City operates a Code Enforcement Program. In 2022, there were a couple of code enforcement actions taken on substandard dwellings.
32 16
Annually, the city will coordinate
with the Sutter County Housing
Authority and property owners of
privately-owned, governmentsubsidized affordable housing projects with the specific
commitment of maintaining
affordability status of properties in
the long term, as well as, the
compliance with noticing
requirements, and the coordination
with qualified entities to purchase
properties and provide education
and support to tenants. In addition,
the city will contact property owners
of such affordable housing projects
at least one year in advance of the
date where properties could convert
to market rate. The city, in
collaboration with the housing
authority, will describe options for
maintaining affordability status. If
the owner expresses an interest in
selling or converting their
properties, the city will contact the
housing authority to determine
interest in acquisition and operation
Ongoing
The City works with the Housing Authority and non-profit housing on any potential development of vacant properties. In 2022 the City worked with the Housing Authority on Phase III of Kristen Court, low-income apartments.
33 17
The city shall display multi-lingual
fair housing posters in prominent
locations in city buildings and
facilities throughout the city, as well
as distribute educational materials
to property owners, apartment
managers, and tenants every two
years throughout the planning
period.

The city shall continue to refer fair
housing complaints to the California
Rural Legal Assistance (CRLA), or
similar organization.

Ongoing
The City provides public information on fair housing laws in English and Spanish at City Hall. Fair housing information is available at all public hearings including City Council hearings. The City provides information and referral services (including a point of contact) for equal housing complaints that are brought to the City. 34 19
The city shall develop a plan to
Affirmatively Further Fair Housing
(AFFH). The AFFH Plan shall take
actions to address significant
disparities in housing needs and in
access to opportunity for all persons
regardless of race, religion, sex,
marital status, ancestry, national
origin, color, familial status, or
disability, and other characteristics
protected by the California Fair
Employment and Housing Act (Part

2.8 (commencing with Section
12900) of Division 3 of Title 2),
Section 65008, and any other State
and federal fair housing and
planning law. The AFFH Plan will
strive to achieve the following:
- Create opportunities for lower
income residents in high resource
areas;
- Increase services and amenities to
improve access to opportunity in
low resource areas; and
- Establish formal procedures for
providing reasonable
accommodations.
31-Dec-23 The City is currently exploring grant funding options to prepare the AFFH Plan. 35 20
The city will continue to implement
state requirements for energy
conservation in new residential
projects and encourage retrofits of
existing units. Provide
materials/access to utilitysponsored programs that educate residents on ways to reduce energy
usage or costs.

Ongoing The City meets the requirements for State Law energy efficiency home improvement and new home construction through plan checks.
21 After the city adopts the draft
Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)
Ordinance in 2022, the city will
monitor permitted ADUs and
affordability by the fourth year of the
planning period and take
appropriate action such as adjusting
assumptions or rezoning within six
months of the adoption of the ADU
Ordinance.

Ongoing The City has adopted an ADU ordinance to further support the construction od second units, and currently tracks all ADU within the City.
36 City of Live Oak
Report to City Council
Meeting Date: March 6, 2024
Title: Discussion of Murals within the City of Live Oak Contact Information: Kevin Valente, AICP, Contract Planner Location: Citywide.

Background: The City of Live Oak has received a request from Aubrey Lopez, a Live Oak High School student, to paint a mural as part of her senior project. Aubrey has identified, Rudy's Auto Repair Business, located at 9988 Broadway as the possible mural location. Aubrey is still considering themes for her proposed mural.

In 2016, the Live Oak City Council approved contracting with Yuba Sutter Arts to implement the "Murals of Live Oak" project. Live Oak committed $20,000 per year for three years as dollar-for-dollar match to funds raised by Yuba Sutter Arts for the project.

According to the Yuba Sutter Arts website, the first murals as part of this project were created in 2017 and since that time, ten large scale murals have been created.
37 Analysis: Currently, the Live Oak Municipal Code (LOMC) does not provide any requirements or guidance for the approval of murals within the City. The LOMC specifically states, sign regulations do not apply to murals.

Staff has reached out to David Read, the Executive Director of Yuba Sutter Arts, to see if Aubrey Lopez could participate in the Murals of Live Oak project for her senior project. David Read has expressed interest on this project and is excited for the opportunity to again partner with Live Oak and a local student.

David Read would need direction and approval from the Live Oak City Council regarding the proposed location and theme of this mural.

City staff is also requesting the City Council consider providing direction to staff to prepare a process for murals moving forward. This direction could include a zoning code amendment to establish an approval process for murals within the City, creating and application process, an informational handout or information on the City's website directing potential mural projects to Yuba Sutter Arts.

Fiscal Impacts: None.

Recommendation: Discuss the approval process for murals and provide direction to staff.

City of Live Oak
Report to City Council
Meeting Date: March 6, 2024
Title: City Council Consideration of Appointments to City of Live Oak Planning Commission
Contact Information: Kevin Valente, Planning Director
Location: Citywide
Background: The City of Live Oak Planning Commission is comprised of seven members.

Six members are appointed by the City Council and one member is appointed by the Sutter County Planning Commission with approval by the Sutter County Board of Supervisors and the Live Oak City Council.

Live Oak Municipal Code Section 2.12.020(A) states, in part, "The planning commission shall consist of seven members appointed by the mayor with the consent of the City Council." Section 2.12.020 (C) states the city will post a notice of possible vacancy to allow the incumbent and other citizens to be considered for appointment or reappointment.

The City of Live Oak Planning Commissioners each serve staggered, fouryear terms. The term of two commissioners expired on January 31, 2024 which results in a total of two current vacancies that need to be filled.

These two vacancies are both for four-year terms.

Current Planning Commission Terms
January 31, 2025 Joaquin Bermudez
January 31, 2025 Bernie Didario
January 31, 2027 Aarondeep Pamma
January 31, 2027 Jerry Stewart
January, 31, 2028 Vacant
January 31, 2028 Vacant
January 31, 2025 Sutter County Commissioner
40 Analysis: The City of Live Oak published a vacancy notice on January 9. 2024. The City of Live Oak has received seven applications in response to the public vacancy notice.

A technical reading of the code would allow the Mayor to make an appointment, with Council then voting on whether or not to confirm the appointment. If the City Council failed to approve the Mayor's appointments, the Council would then need to consider another appointment by the Mayor, followed by a Council vote.

In my role as an accountant for a local trucking company, I have acquired a diverse set of skills and experiences that I believe will be highly beneficial to the City Council.

Through this work, I have gained a deep understanding of financial management, budgeting, and fiscal responsibility, all of which are critical skills for managing a city's finances effectively.
