SUBJECT: Waive Full Reading and Approve Ordinance No. 8-2025 an ORDINANCE OF

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MCFARLAND AMENDING CHAPTER

5.04 OF THE MCFARLAND MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO BUSINESS

LICENSES
SUMMARY:

Staff have reviewed the Municipal Code relating to the City's Business License process. A number of amendments are proposed to align the Municipal Code with the existing process as well as provide clarifying language regarding the issuance of permits. Likewise, it is the desire to rescind a prior amendment relating to permits. The proposed amendments make the following changes:

1. Identify the Finance Department as the designated department for the processing and issuance of business licenses. This is consistent with the current process and is modified by removing the City Clerk as the designated department.

2. Clarifies that all business license applications require the review and approval of the Community Development Director or designee. This is to ensure that all businesses are operating consistent with the City's zoning and use regulations.

3. Provides clarifying language to ensure applicants secure proper permits to conduct their business in accordance with the City's zoning and land use regulations.

4. Ordinance 11-2024 established a fee schedule for business licenses issued for Animal Confinement/Breeding/Raising. Following review of the ordinance with legal counsel, it has been advised to repeal this ordinance and subsequent sections.

The Council introduced the ordinance and held first reading on August 27, 2025.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The changes do not result in any change in fiscal revenue.

RECOMMENDATION:

Council waive full reading and approve Ordinance 8-2025.

MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO BUSINESS LICENSES
Section 1. Recitals
WHEREAS, the City of McFarland desires to amend, clarify and codify its Municipal Code related to Business Licenses;
WHEREAS, this ordinance amendment updates Municipal Code section 5.04; WHEREAS, adoption of this Ordinance is in furtherance of the City’s goals and objectives while reducing the potentially negative impacts arising from deficient and/or incomplete/incompatible Municipal Code Chapters.

A. Nothing in this chapter shall be deemed or construed to apply to any person transacting and carrying on any business exempt by virtue of the constitution or applicable statutes of the United States or of the state from the payment of such taxes as are prescribed in this chapter.

B. None of the license taxes provided for by this chapter shall be so applied as to occasion an undue burden on interstate commerce. In any case where a license tax is believed by a licensee or applicant for a license to place an undue burden upon such commerce, he may apply to the city clerk Finance Department for an adjustment of the tax so that it will not be discriminatory or unreasonable as to such commerce. Such application may be made before, at, or within six months after payment of the prescribed license tax. The applicant shall, by affidavit and supporting testimony, show his method of business and the gross volume or estimated gross volume of business and such other information as the city clerk Finance Department may deem necessary in order to determine the extent, if any, of such undue burden on such commerce. The city clerk Finance Department shall then conduct an investigation, and, after having first obtained the written approval of the city attorney, shall fix as the license tax for the applicant, an amount that is reasonable and nondiscriminatory, or if the license tax has already been paid, shall order a refund of the amount over and above the license tax so fixed. In

fixing the license tax to be charged, the city clerk Finance Department shall have the power to base the license tax upon any measure which will ensure that the license tax assessed shall be uniform with that assessed on businesses of like nature, so long as the amount assessed does not exceed the license tax as prescribed by this chapter. Any person claiming an exemption pursuant to this section shall file a verified statement with the city clerk Finance Department stating the facts upon which the exemption is claimed. The city clerk Finance Department shall, upon a proper showing contained in the verified statement, issue a license to such person claiming exemption under this section without payment to the city of the license tax required by this chapter. The city clerk Finance Department, after giving notice and a reasonable opportunity for hearing to a licensee, may revoke any license granted pursuant to the provisions of this section upon information that the licensee is not entitled to the exemption as provided in this section.

such other information as may be necessary for the enforcement of the provisions of this chapter.

Section 4. Section 5.04.080 is amended as follows:

5.04.080 Appeal.

SUBJECT: Approval of Resolution No. 2025-127 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MCFARLAND APPROVING THE

CANCELLATION OF LAND USE RESTRICTIONS, LAND CONSERVATION ACT, AGRICULTURE PRESERVE NO.7 AND AMENDING LAND USE

CONTRACT
SUMMARY:

The applicant, Steve Milicic, and owner of APN: 060-420-20 is requesting the cancelation of a

39.09-acre parcel that is subject to Williamson Act Land Use Contract, which was recorded on January 30, 1968, in book 4491 page 463 of the Official Records. The applicant submitted a non-renewal that was processed by staff and recorded. The parcel was annexed in 2024 through Annexation 19 and was pre-zoned R-1, R-2, R-4, and Estate. At the time of annexation, the applicant submitted a Master Plan for the same 38.18 ac parcel. Applicant is completing the project in phases and is starting with the adjacent properties. Their Tentative Tract Map proposal for the adjacent property is required to include a park. The park and sump is being proposed on the property under the Williamson Act Land Use Contract and therefore it is required that the applicant complete a Petition for Cancellation of Land Conservation.

California Government Code Section 51282(a) states your Board may grant tentative approval of cancellation of a contract only if one of the following findings is made:

1. That the cancellation is consistent with the purposes of Chapter 7;

2. That the cancellation is in the public interest.

For the purpose of clarification, Chapter 7 of the Government Code is the California Land Conservation Act of 1965 and is referred to as the Williamson Act. The California Land Conservation Act was enacted to guarantee the future agricultural use of what is considered to be the State’s best agricultural land and contains certain provisions of eligibility. In exchange for enrolling property into the Williamson Act, landowners are entitles to a reduction in taxes in order to guarantee the continued use of the land for agricultural purposes.

The applicants assert that approval of the cancellation request is consistent with the purposes of Chapter 7 and, therefore, is in accordance with California Government Code Section 51282(a)(1).

In order for your Board to approve the cancellation under the referenced provision, the following findings must be made pursuant to California Government Code Section 51282(b):

1. The cancellation is for land on which a notice of nonrenewal has been served pursuant to Section 51245;
a. The Notice of non-renewal was made on July 28, 2025.

2. The cancellation is not likely to result in the removal of adjacent lands from agricultural use;
a. Surrounding properties, including those adjacent, are not what resulted in the cancellation request. The property was initially land that was used for agriculture, but the property owner has gradually stopped using it for agriculture use. The owner's goal was to build residential homes for investment and business purposes. The property was part of Annexation 19 where it was pre-zoned R-1, R-2, R-4, and Estates.

3. The cancellation is for an alternative use which is consistent with the applicable provisions of the McFarland General Plan;
a. The property was part of Annexation 19 where it was pre-zoned R-1, R-2, R-4, and Estates. Property is consistent with the General Plan. The land use for the property is Single-Family Residential, Multi-family Residential, and Estates.

4. The cancellation will not result in discontinuous patterns of urban development; and a. Development in McFarland has sprawled out to the urban areas surrounding the City. This can be reflected in the most recent Annexations. We have multiple residential and commercial developments going out towards South Garzoli, including a new school, and commercial project proposals. That being said, a discontinuous pattern of development will not be a result of the cancellation.

5. There is no proximate noncontracted land which is available and suitable for the use proposed on the contracted land or that development of the contract land would provide more contiguous patterns of urban development than development of proximate noncontracted land.
a. The property owner is Steven Milicic. Their goal is to sell the properties to developers for the construction of residential neighborhoods of varying sizes.

Some of the developers who have supplied the applicant with letters of intent are developers who intend to build affordable homes and will be partnering with programs to make that possible. Their purpose is consistent with the General Plan and Housing Element and will not create a discontinuous pattern of development as a result.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Diego Viramontes, City Manager
Paul Saldaña , Economic Development Manager
SUBJECT: CITY COUNCIL TAKE MINISTERIAL AND MANDATORY ACTION AS REQUIRED UNDER ELECTION CODE SECTIONS 1405 AND 9215

REGARDING THE CITIZENS-SPONSORED INITIATIVE PROCESS
SUMMARY:

On June 27, 2025, the City Clerk received a Notice of Intent to Circulate a Petition and proposed initiative measure from Jorge Mendoza on behalf of proponents of the initiative measure. If approved, the initiative measure would prohibit Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) from operating in the City of McFarland and provide a timeframe for any existing CAFOs to cease operations (“Measure”).

California Constitution article II, §§ 8-11, provides the basis for the initiative power in California.

An initiative is “the power of the electors to propose statutes and amendments to the Constitution and to adopt or reject them.” (Cal. Const art II, §8(a).) The initiative power also extends to cities and counties. “Initiative and referendum powers may be exercised by the electors of each city or county under procedures that the Legislature shall provide.” (Cal Const art II, §11(a).)
In reviewing initiatives, California courts have consistently held that it is “the duty of the courts to jealously guard the right of the people.” (Martin v. Smith (1959) 176 Cal.

App. 2d 117, 117.) Voter action by initiative is so fundamental that it is described “not as a right granted the people, but as a power reserved by them.” (Associated Home Builders etc., Inc. v City of Livermore (1976) 18 Cal. 3d 582, 591)(emphasis added.) As such, the City Council’s duty to adopt a qualified voter-sponsored initiative or place it on the ballot (as discussed in greater detail below), is ministerial and mandatory. (Native American Sacred Site and Environmental Protection Association et al, v. City of San Juan Capistrano (2004) 120 Cal. App. 4th 961, 966.)
The statutory procedures for city initiatives are governed by California Election Code sections 9200 to 9226. The initiative process begins with a filing with the City Clerk and a notice of intent to circulate a petition, together with the text of the initiative. (Election Code § 9202(a).) Here, the petition and Measure were received at the end of June.

Soon after, the City Attorney timely prepared and sent a ballot title and summary of the Measure to the City Clerk, consistent with the requirements of Election Code section 9203.

The Election Code provides the proponents six (6) months from the receipt of the ballot title and summary to gather enough signatures to qualify the Measure for the ballot.

On August 13, 2025, the proponents submitted a signed petition to the City Clerk. The petitions were transferred to the Kern County Elections Division (“County”) to verify the validity of the petition signatures.

On September 5, 2025, the City received official notification from the County that the petition contains 656 valid signatures, which exceeds the 509 signatures required to qualify the Measure on the ballot. Consistent with the requirements of Elections Code section 9210, the Measure has demonstrated the requisite sufficiency to qualify for the ballot.

Because the Measure has obtained the required number of signatures and qualified for the ballot, and a Certificate of Sufficiency of Initiative has been received and accepted. As such, Election Code section 9215 provides the City Council with the following options:

1. Adopt the Measure, without alteration, at this meeting or at meeting within 10 days of the acceptance of the Certificate of Sufficiency of Initiative.

2. Pursuant to Election Code section 1405, submit the Measure to the voters at the next General Election, which will be on November 3, 2026 (Option No. 2 Resolution 2025- 133)

3. Pursuant to Election Code section 1405, submit the Measure to the voters at a special municipal election occurring on a Tuesday between 88 and 103 days after the City Council calls for the special election, which if ordered, would be either December 23 or December 30. While there is a special election scheduled for November 4, 2025, the County informed City staff that there is not sufficient time to put the Measure on the ballot for the upcoming statewide special election (Option No. 3 Resolution 2025-133)

4. Direct staff to prepare an impartial and informational report analyzing the impact of the Measure on the City (Option 4 Resolution 2025-133). Staff must present the report no later than 30 days after the City certifies that the petition is sufficient. After the report is presented to the City Council, the City Council must either vote to adopt the Measure or order an election.

Environmental Impact
If the City Council adopts the Measure or submits the Measure to the voters, both actions are ministerial decisions and not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). “When the electorate undertakes to exercise the reserved legislative power, the city has no discretion and acts as the agent for the electorate. In such event, the enactment of the initiative measure is excluded from CEQA compliance.” (Northwood Homes, Inc. v. Town of Moraga (1989) 216 Cal.App.3d 1197, 1206.)
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

If the City Council chooses either Options #2 or #3, the City will be responsible for the elections costs estimated at $38,000.

RECOMMENDATION:

City Council review options and take action as required by Election Code.

2. Resolution 2025-133 (Options 2,3,4)

3. Citizens Initiative Ordinance

INITIATIVE MEASURE TO BE SUBMITTED DIRECTLY TO THE VOTERS The City Attorney has prepared the following title and summary of the chief purpose and points of the proposed measure:

PROHIBITION OF CONFINED ANIMAL FEEDING OPERATIONS
The initiative asks voters to add new sections to Chapter 17 of the McFarland Municipal Code to phase-out existing and prohibit future Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO) in all zone districts within the City limits of the City of McFarland. Existing operations would become legal nonconforming and have two years to phase out or modify operations to come into compliance. The proposed ordinance exempts certain temporary stables used during emergencies. ● The proposed ordinance would define CAFO in accordance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System. The animals covered would be cattle or cow/calf pairs, mature dairy cattle, veal calves, swine, horses, sheep or lambs, turkeys, chickens, laying hens or broilers, and ducks. CAFOs would be categorized as large, medium, or small, depending on the number and type of confined animals and potential to impact water quality. The proposed ordinance would consider animals confined if stabled or confined and fed or maintained for a total of 45 days or more in any 12-month period, and when crops, vegetation, forage growth, or post-harvest residues are not sustained in the normal growing season over any portion of the lot or facility. Two or more operations could together be considered a single CAFO if certain criteria are met. ● The proposed ordinance would require registration for existing CAFOs, which would have two years to modify or cease operations. It would require the City Manager or his/her designee to present an annual report on ordinance compliance to the City Council. ● If a farm meets the definition of a CAFO and does not comply with the terms of the proposed ordinance by the end of the phase-out period, then the farm would face daily penalties of $1,000 for the first day, $5,000 for the second day, and $10,000 for the third and subsequent days in violation. The City could additionally pursue any other enforcement available at law. The measure also provides a private right of action for injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party. It would make it a misdemeanor to retaliate against another person for making a good-faith complaint.

SUBJECT: Approval of Resolution No. 2025-126 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF

MCFARLAND APPROVING A COMMUNITY GRANT TO THE COUGAR

BOOSTER CLUB TO SUPPORT YOUTH PARTICIPATION IN ATHLETIC EVENTS
SUMMARY:

In February 2023, the McFarland City Council established the Community Grants Program to support local groups, organizations, and volunteers dedicated to enhancing the cultural, social, and economic vitality of the city. The program provides funding opportunities for events and initiatives that directly benefit the community, with an emphasis on transparency, accountability, and equitable use of public funds. This initiative reflects the Council’s vision of fostering impactful programs, services, and projects while maintaining fiscal responsibility.

On August 25, 2025, the Cougar Booster Club submitted a grant application requesting $2,500 to support youth participation in several athletic events, including the McFarland Girl's Basketball Tournament and the Girl's Cross Country Tournament. • The McFarland Girls’ Basketball Team is scheduled to participate in a tournament in Folsom, California, from December 11–13, 2025. This event will provide studentathletes with the opportunity to compete at a higher level while continuing to develop their athletic skills.
• Similarly, the McFarland Girls’ Cross Country Team is planning to participate in several tournaments throughout the season, including:
- Woalbridge Invite – September 19–20, 2025
- Portland Blue Lake Park Invitational (Oregon) – September 24–26, 2025 - Agent A. Flores Memorial Invite – October 3–4, 2025
- CIF State Championship – November 29, 2025
The total cost of participation in these events is estimated at $7,500. The Cougar Booster Club is requesting $2,500 from the City’s Community Grants Program, with the remaining balance to be raised through community fundraising efforts. The requested funds would help reduce financial barriers and ensure broader access for students to participate in these enriching athletic and academic experiences.

This report evaluates the grant request based on the program’s established criteria, including its alignment with public service goals and the promotion of community health, safety, and welfare. Approval of this grant would allocate funding from the City’s annual budget designated for community support initiatives.

Endorsing this grant request represents a meaningful investment in McFarland’s youth, encouraging civic engagement, skill development, and pride in community representation. The anticipated outcomes include long-term benefits in social development, educational enrichment, and strengthened community identity.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

To be Determined - City of McFarland Community Grant Funds RECOMMENDATION:

Based on the application's alignment with the Community Grants Program criteria and the potential impact on McFarland’s youth and broader community, staff recommends approval of the Cougar Booster Club’s grant request. This funding will not only support local athletes in their development but will also reinforce McFarland’s commitment to nurturing a strong, vibrant community through engagement in educational and athletic pursuits.
