Planning Commission Agenda
Memo to: Manteca Planning Commission
From: Jesus Orozco, Deputy Director-Planning
Prepared by: Scott Speer Senior Planner
Date: September 5, 2024
Subject: Zoning Code Updates, CMU, Commercial Mixed Use & DMU, Downtown Mixed Use
Title
Adopt a resolution recommending City Council waive the first reading by substitution of the title to Amend Title 17 of the Manteca Municipal Code creating a new Mixed Use Downtown Zoning District and Updating the Mixed Use Commercial Zoning District to conform to the 2043 General Plan Update and further recommend adoption of the Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) (SCH# 2024050901).
Body
The City proposes focused revisions to the City’s Zoning Code to implement the goals and policies of the Commercial Mixed Use (CMU) and Downtown (DW) mixed-use land use designations included in the City’s updated 2043 General Plan. These changes would include:
·Revisions to the existing Mixed Use Commercial Zoning District (CMU) to include zoning-level development standards, including mixed-use performance standards, building heights, setbacks, lot coverage, FAR standards, open space requirements, off-street parking requirements, and other objective standards that would give clear guidance to proposed developments. ·Establishment of a new Mixed Use Downtown Zoning District (DMU) to include zoning-level development standards, including mixed-use performance standards, building heights, setbacks, lot coverage, floor area ratio (FAR) standards, open space requirements, and other objective standards that would give clear guidance to proposed developments.
The proposed Zoning Code revisions are formatted to show where each section, chapter, table, and potion of table are to be inserted into the Manteca Municipal Code.
ATTACHMENT 5
The proposed Zoning Code revisions are consistent with the Project Objectives that were included in the City’s 2023 recirculated 2043 General Plan Update and EIR, below:
1. Reflect the current goals and vision expressed by city residents, businesses, decisionmakers, and other stakeholders;
2. Address issues and concerns identified by city residents, businesses, decision-makers, and other stakeholders;
3. Provide for logical, orderly growth from the city’s compact, historic center extending to welldelineated residential neighborhoods, employment centers, and community amenities;
4. Maintain Manteca’s family-oriented community character with gathering places, activities, and parks/recreation opportunities for all ages located in attractive, sustainable, and safe neighborhoods and throughout the community;
5. Preserve access to the area’s agricultural and natural characteristics, including green space, farmland, and orchards;
6. Revitalize and enhance the Downtown;
7. Provide and encourage high-quality housing options and a variety of housing types for all income levels;
8. Provide and promote high-paying, local employment opportunities and retain and attract high-quality businesses and industry so that residents can live, shop, and work in Manteca;
9. Maintain strong fiscal sustainability that ensure efficient and adequate public services and amenities and supports improved multimodal transportation opportunities, and, through promoting land uses that increase local revenues and ensuring development pays its fair share;
10. Provide a basis for City decision-makers, City departments, other public agencies, and private developers to design projects that enhance the character of the community and achieve the City’s desired growth, safety, and conservation objectives; and,
11. Address requirements of State law, including addressing environmental justice, safety, climate adaptation and resilience, and transportation, including complete streets and vehicle miles traveled (VMT).
Planning Commission Study Session
A study session was held on August 15, 2024, to afford the public and the Planning Commission additional time to consider the Zoning Code updates and to provide feedback to staff and the project consultant.
Based on Planning Commission comments received at the study session, the City’s consultant AECOM will provide an updated presentation on the proposed Code updates to the Commission that includes further discussion on parking and future parking demand, front yard setback and sidewalk space.
ATTACHMENT 5
Other items that the Planning Commission discussed were potential impacts to existing historical buildings and would elevators be required in new downtown residential construction. The proposed Zoning Code updates would have no new significant impacts on existing or potential historic structures and cultural resources in downtown Manteca. However, individual projects proposed in conformance with the 2043 General Plan and Zoning Code could have potential impacts and those projects would require analysis of environmental impacts pursuant to CEQA Guidelines and the City’s 2043 General Plan. To assess potential impacts, an historical evaluation of an existing building or site proposed for development in the project area may be required.
Consistent with the City’s updated 2043 General Plan Conservation Element, Goal RC-10, the City could benefit by documenting an inventory of potentially historical buildings and sites and then incorporating that inventory into its 2043 General Plan Conservation Element. Such information would be helpful to city planning staff and prospective downtown developers in the early project discussions and planning stages.
Regarding elevators, according to the City Building Official, elevators would generally be required for new residential and mixed-use construction if the development could not accommodate sufficient ADA accessible units on the ground floor. There may be some greater flexibility on code requirements for existing buildings. The City’s 2043 General Plan Land Use Element Policy 6.10 encourages the reuse of existing buildings within Downtown and in other developed locations designated for mixed-use development by utilizing the California Existing Building Code which provides some flexibility in the retrofitting of buildings. Each building project will have to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Environmental Review
The proposed Zoning Code updates are subject to CEQA Guidelines, and it was determined that a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) is the appropriate level of review. As the lead agency for the project, the City engaged a consultant, AECOM, to prepare a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) for the City of Manteca Zoning Code Update (the “proposed project”) (SCH# 2024050901). The Draft SEIR will supplement the previously certified City of Manteca (City) 2043 General Plan Update EIR and Revised Addendum to the 2043 General Plan Update EIR (State Clearinghouse #2020019010). The Draft SEIR and all documents referenced in the Draft SEIR may be viewed on the City’s website at
<https://www.manteca.gov/departments/development-services/planning/planning-divisiondocuments/-folder-385> The Draft SEIR describes the environmental effects associated with the proposed Zoning Code Update. The analysis in the Draft SEIR shows the revisions to the Zoning Code would have no new significant impacts and no increase in severity of any of the significant and unavoidable impacts disclosed in the 2043 General Plan Update EIR.

INTRODUCTION
In response to the Planning Commission’s interest regarding parking availability in the proposed Downtown (DMU) Zoning District, AECOM assessed the current parking supply in potential new development areas and potential impact of new development on existing parking availability, focusing on identifying high-demand zones.
This memo briefly summarizes the potential for new development to impact parking demand throughout the proposed DMU Zoning District. The analysis presented in this Memo builds on the Memo dated June 21, 2024 that evaluated existing parking demand and supply throughout the proposed DMU Zoning District.
In general, Downtown Manteca has a surplus of parking supply – both under existing conditions and also under future conditions with additional infill development. There are some peak times and locations where parking is at a premium, but even during those times and in those areas, there is available parking the general vicinity of these parking “hot spots.”
BACKGROUND
The supply, perceived convenience, and price of parking is often a prominent issue for policy planning and proposed development projects. Parking facilities are a critical part of a transportation system, as vehicles are typically stored in a parking space for approximately 23 hours of every day and require a parking space at every destination. However, parking also requires space that could otherwise be used for housing, businesses, services, open space, or other uses. The abundant supply of parking also increases driving and can make walking and bicycling to reach destinations less pleasant and convenient.1 Parking is also expensive, but often the users of parking do not pay for the parking, and the costs associated with parking are instead made a part of rent, the purchase price of a home or passed along to consumers through higher prices or to taxpayers – even those that do not drive.2 1 Please see more detail on the consequences and tradeoffs related to parking here:
https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/publications/fhwahop23023/ch2.htm. 2 Considering land, construction, and operating expenses, the annual per parking space typically range from about $2,000 to $20,000 for a basic surface lot on inexpensive land to $50,000 to $80,000 per space for structured parking. Each on-street parking space is estimated to cost approximately $1,750 to build and $400 to maintain annually. For more information, please review research published by the Victoria Transport Policy Institute, including this article related to parking costs and supply here: https://www.vtpi.org/pscp.pdf.
ATTACHMENT 5
For these and other reasons, some cities have eliminated requirements to build parking with new development. For example, in 2022, Culver City, California; Olympia, Washington; Raleigh, North Carolina; Nashville, Tennessee; Anchorage, Alaska; and 48 cities in Oregon have eliminated parking minimums either on a citywide basis or within a downtown core area.3 Many cities are considering whether to eliminate parking minimums today – either on a citywide basis, for a targeted reinvestment area, or for specific uses.
ANALYSIS
The future parking demand analysis combines existing demand with the anticipated demand from new developments to offer a comprehensive view of future parking needs in the proposed DMU Zoning District.
As explained in Memo dated June 21, 2024, the City commissioned a comprehensive count of existing parking spaces and parking occupancy for a representative weekday and a representative weekend day. Both counts evaluated parking occupancy from 9:00am until 8:00pm.
The results of the existing parking supply and occupancy survey have been collected, and spatially sorted. The geographies used to disaggregate the DMU Zoning District are called “traffic analysis zones.” Normally, traffic analysis zones are used in evaluating existing and future traffic volumes and congestion levels along selected street segments and intersections, but in this case, traffic analysis zones were used to identify the location of parking supply and demand issues within Manteca’s downtown area. The following traffic analysis zones were included in this analysis: 261, 262, 263, 271, 272, 273, 274, 275, 276, 277, 278, 279, 280, 281, 282, 296, 301, 302, 306.
The following maps show the proposed DMU Zoning District and the traffic analysis zones. 3 For more information, please see: https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2023/1/12/5-cities-that-repealed-parkingminimums-in-2022.

Maximum Parking Demand
The existing parking demand, as derived from the comprehensive parking supply and occupancy study, was added to future demand associated with assumed new development Downtown. Future development is assumed to include 616 new dwelling units, 71,000 square feet of new retail/commercial service space, and 71,000 square feet of new restaurant square footage. Development assumptions are additive – in other words, while it is possible that new development would supplant existing development and associated parking demand, that assumption is not used in our analysis, in order ensure more conservative results.
Based on the assumed new uses, the Urban Land Institute’s Shared Parking manual was consulted for parking demand rates. These parking demand rates are presented on a per dwelling unit basis for residential development and per thousand square feet of building space for non-residential development, and parking demand rates account for residents, visitors, employees, and commercial patrons. The Urban Land Institute sponsored a national study that established a basic methodology for analyzing parking demand in mixed-use environments and developed averages for parking rates by land use.
Time Adjustments
After developing the database of assumed new uses and identifying a corresponding use category with a parking demand rate, parking demand was calculated according to the time of day. Different land uses have different peak times of day. For example, a health club or gym tends to have high parking demand in the early morning, whereas shopping centers’ peak demand periods tend to be in the early afternoon and late afternoon. For each parking district, all land uses were organized in rows, with different hours of day organized by column. This allowed the analyst to identify the peak parking demand period for all uses within each traffic analysis zone.
FINDINGS
As noted, in general, there is a parking surplus today, based on the development assumptions for the Downtown area, there is anticipated to be general parking surplus in the future. The existing average hourly demand for parking during weekdays is 1,428, and the existing total parking supply is 5,319. The existing average hourly demand for parking on the weekend is 1,386. Since weekday parking demand is higher than weekend demand, the balance of the results in this Memo focus on weekday parking demand and supply.
Total Existing Parking Demand Existing Demand Existing Supply Hourly Average Weekday Lots 718 2,644
Hourly Average Weekday On-Street 710 2,675
Hourly Average Weekday 1,428 5,319
Hourly Average Weekend Lots 698 2,644
Hourly Average Weekend On-Street 688 2,675
Hourly Average Weekend 1,386 5,319
Examining average hourly parking demand versus existing supply, all traffic analysis zones have a surplus of parking with the exception of traffic analysis zone 276, which is located just southwest of the railroad line, and where there is very little existing parking demand or supply.
ATTACHMENT 5
For all weekday hours, the maximum parking demand is estimated to be at 1:00pm. At this time of day, for weekdays, the total surplus parking in the DMU Zoning District is estimated to be 1,338 spaces.
However, this is not anticipated to be evenly distributed. As shown in the table below, all traffic analysis zones would have a surplus of parking during this peak parking demand period with the exception of traffic analysis zones 276 and 282, where there is substantial assumed new development. While traffic analysis zone would have a deficit of parking supply if new development in this area does not provide any parking, nearby traffic analysis zones 274 and 275 have substantial surpluses at this time (203 and 255, respectively).

Analysis of Existing
Parking Demand
• Weekday Hot Spots
o Brief periods of high parking demand near food
establishments, retail, and services on Center
St., N. Maple Ave., N. Main St., and W. Yosemite
Ave
o High occupancy adjacent to residential areas
near Fir St. and E. North St. (close to Manteca
Unified health services)
• Weekend Hot Spots
o High occupancy near retail/services on N. Maple
Ave., N. Main St., and Yosemite Ave.
o High occupancy adjacent to residential areas
near Stewart St. and Fir St.
• Where hot spots of high occupancy occurred,
additional parking spaces were available
within 1-2 blocks

Analysis of New Development
Parking Demand
• Focused on evaluating the impact of new
developments on existing parking demand
within specific Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs) in
the downtown area
o TAZs are used to model and analyze traffic
patterns, including parking demand, by
breaking down the city into smaller
geographic areas
• Observed peak parking demand in areas that
were greater than 90% parking occupancy, this
included on-street parking and parking lots
• Peak parking demand represents the highest
number of parking spaces that were occupied
at the peak time for May 30th (a weekday) and
June 8th (a weekend)
• TAZ 280 had the highest peak parking demand
at 7 PM on the weekday and weekend
TAZ 280 is bounded by E North St, Powers Ave, E Yosemite Ave and N Fremont Ave ATTACHMENT 5
Findings
• The analysis shows a deficit of 115 spaces in
TAZ 280 after considering both existing and
new development demand during the peak
hour
• Adjacent TAZs 262 and 263 have a surplus of
216 spaces, which could accommodate the
deficit in TAZ 280
• TAZ 280 is the “worst-case” parking supply
