CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
MEETING OF: August 16, 2022
Subject: Zoning Map Correction
From: Gary Price, Contract Planner
Recommended Action: By vote of the Council (minute order), in accordance with Section

12.08.22, Subsection 1-4-C, of the Zoning Code, determine that the current zoning map has uncertain boundaries that need to be corrected and approve the corrected zoning map per Exhibit A.

BACKGROUND: During initial review of the Route 49 Partners planning application for the mobile home park, it came to staff's attention that the City's Zoning Map was in error with scaling, alignment, and zone boundaries. As the City and the County coordinate review of the mobile home park project application, it is important to make sure the City's Zoning Map is accurate for the purposes of determining zoning code compliance for the mobile home park Section 12.08.22, Subsection 1-4-C of the Zoning Code, regarding, Scale on Zoning Map states:
"Determination by City Council. Where property is indicated on the Zoning Map as acreage and not subdivided into lots and blocks, or where the zone boundary lines are not approximately street, alley or lot lines, the zone boundary line shall be determined by the City Council." ANALYSIS: The current zoning map adopted (originally adopted in 2014) and then re-adopted by Ordinance 423 on June 15, 2021 (when the overall zoning code was updated), shows the southwest section of the City not properly aligned to other physical features of the City, such as the highway (Main Street). The City's GIS specialist, Dennis Miller, Featherhorse Design, who prepared the map, indicated that alignment error is common. When using County Assessor's Maps as a basis for boundary lines, they are often not to scale or exact. Dennis, who also prepared other City and County maps, such as the Local Agency Formation Commission Sphere of Influence Map, indicated that the southwest corner of Main and Hill Streets, where a portion of the mobile home project is located, erroneously shows a split between C1 (Commercial) and RI (Residential Single Family). Staff suggests that the Council determine that this is a mapping error and it should be corrected by applying the same zoning to the entire section of these two properties within a portion of the mobile home park, as R-2 (Residential Multiple Family).

Please refer to Exhibit A, Map Exhibit showing the recommended map adjustment, and Exhibit 1 C, an email from Dennis explaining some of the errors in this report.

In accordance with California Government Code Section 65860 zoning must be consistent with the General Plan. In this case the City's General Plan Land Use Map, consisting of the City's 2008 General Plan Land Use Diagram, should be consistent with the zoning map correction.

Exhibit B shows that this corrected area is identified for Medium Density Residential. The R-2 Residential Multiple Family Zoning District is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of Medium Density Residential.

Before proceeding with processing, the mobile home project application, the City Council should confirm that the map adjustments are correct. Once the Council determines the correct map boundaries, staff will revise the Zoning Code/Map to reflect these corrections and the zoning code and map will be revised and reposted on the City's Website. The adjusted map will also be shared with the County and the mobile home park project applicants so the application can be properly processed with correct information.

LEGAL REVIEW: This report was reviewed and approved by the City Attorney.

ALTERNATIVES: The City Council should review Exhibit A which shows current and proposed map corrections and confirm that this is a mapping error that needs to be corrected as proposed (see Recommended Action at the beginning of this report). Alternatives would be to leave the map unchanged, or consider other possible boundary corrections.

Attached is the revised Zoning Clarification map for Loyalton.

The parcel configuration on the 2014 zoning map that was used with the zoning adoption document has since been updated for the City of Loyalton, which made the existing zoning feature class no longer conform to the parcel boundaries. This Zoning Clarification map displays the intended zoning configuration. I also made a minor Sierra County parcel revision which places the parcel right-of-way and adjacent parcels in alignment with Highway 49.

Subject: Soccer Use of little league fields
Dear Loyalton City Council,
My name is April Burns and I am writing you on behalf of the Loyalton Sports Club. We have recently started up a soccer program for TK- 8th grade. We had almost 100 kids sign up for the season, super We are writing to request the use of the grass at Little League fields for practices and games. We would also like to ask for bathroom access during the duration of the season.

The season begins August 15th and ends November 6th. Practices and games will be Monday-Friday from 3-8pm and Saturdays from 8am- 5pm.

Soccer requires the use of goals to be kept on the grass. If the use of the fields is approved, we are happy to work with the cities mowing schedule to make sure goals are removed the night before each mow Thank you so much for your time and consideration we are looking forward to kicking off a great soccer season!
