1 AGENDA ITEM – STAFF REPORT
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: NORA VALDEZ, FINANCE DIRECTOR
VIA: CRISTIAN GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: ESTABLISHING THE ANNUAL PROPOSITION 4 APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025
DATE: JULY 9, 2024
ISSUE
Shall the City Council adopt Resolution No. 24-36, establishing the annual Proposition 4 appropriations limit for Fiscal Year 2024-2025?

BACKGROUND
State law requires the adoption of an annual appropriations limit, which restricts the growth of tax-funded programs and services by limiting the appropriation of proceeds of taxes.

Proposition 4, also known as Gann initiative, was approved in November 1979 that added Article XIII to the California Constitution. This initiative placed limits on the growth of expenditures for publicly funded programs. These constitutional and statutory sections explain and define the appropriations limit and appropriations subject to limitation as they apply to state and local government and require that each entity of government formally “adopt” its appropriations limit for a given fiscal year.

ANALYSIS
Under the current guidelines, the Gann Appropriations Limit grows each year by a formula tied to cost-of-living factor and population growth provided by the Department of Finance on an annual basis.

On April 30, 2024, the Department of Finance transmitted an estimate of the percentage change in population to local governments. Each local jurisdiction must use their percentage change in population factor for January 1, 2024, in conjunction with a change in the cost of living, or price factor, to calculate their appropriations limit for Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2024-2025.

State Per Capita Cost of Living Change = 3.62 percent
Mendota’s Population Change between January 1, 2023, and January 1, 2024= 0.55 percent Per Capita Cost of Living converted to a ratio: 3.62 + 100 = 1.0362 100
Population converted to a ratio: 0.55 + 100 = 1.0055
100
Calculation of Factor for FY 2024-25: 1.0362 x 1.0055 = 1.0419 2 The City of Mendota’s (“City”) FY 2024-2025 Appropriations Limit was calculated at $4,955,331.00 where $2,392,230.00 is subject to the Appropriations Limits. This amount is $2,563,101.00 below the calculated Appropriation Limit.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City, unless the City exceeds the Appropriation Limit of $4,955,331.00.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 24-36, establishing the annual Proposition 4 appropriations limit for Fiscal Year 2024-2025.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: NORA VALDEZ, FINANCE DIRECTOR
VIA: CRISTIAN GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: CLAIMING LOCAL TRANSPORTATION FUNDS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 DATE: JULY 9, 2024
ISSUE
Should the City Council approve Resolution 24-37, claiming Local Transportation Funds for Fiscal Year 2024-2025?

BACKGROUND
The Fresno Council of Governments (“FCOG”) has the authority to review claims and allocate such funds in accordance with the Transportation Development Act (“TDA”) of 1971 and Chapter 3 of Title 21 of the California Administrative Code for the purposes allowed under Articles III, IV and VII which provides funding to be allocated to encourage inter-jurisdictional coordination of transportation needs and increased coordination of transportation implementation planning. This funding is allocated by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, which takes the amount of sales tax collected and returns the general sales tax revenue to the Council of Fresno County Governments. They in turn, allocate it to each city in the County based on population for the projects that were budgeted for the 2024-2025 fiscal year.

ANALYSIS
The attached resolution and claim forms for each applicable funding program are routine and required by FCOG to receive the funding for the Local Transportation Funds (“LTF”). With the funding provided under the TDA, the City of Mendota (“City”) can fund street projects approved during the budget for each fiscal year, rural transit and assist with regional transportation planning.

The total amount allocated for the City is $881,467.00. However, the City will be payable $573,510.00 from the total allocation. The remaining $307,957.00 will be distributed among four sections: Regional Transportation Planning, Community Transit Service, Article 4.5, Fresno County Rural Transit Agency LTF and Fresno County Rural Transit Agency STA. The following table displays each sections allocation:

FY 2024/2025
Regional Transportation Planning $ 20,228.00
Community Translt Service, Article 4.5 $ 35,502.00
Fresno County Rural Transit Agency LTF $ 95,013.00
Fresno County Rural Transit Agency STA $ 157,214.00
$ 307,957.00
2 Regional Transportation Planning is a long-term design of a region’s transportation system. The plan identifies and analyzes transportation needs of the metropolitan region and creates a framework for project priorities.

Community Transit Service, Article 4.5 is a transportation planning agency for community transit services for those disabled, who cannot use conventional transit services. Transportation services which connect intra-community origins and destinations in which needs are not being met in the community.

Fresno County Rural Transit is a transportation service offered in Fresno County to the 13 rural incorporated communities and many unincorporated rural communities with limited services to neighboring counties Kings County (Avenal and Hanford). There is a Demand Responsive or Fixed Route Basis for all passengers. The difference between LTF and STA funding is STA is specific to transit purposes.

FISCAL IMPACT
$573,510.00 to the City of Mendota “LTF” Fund.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council to approve Resolution No. 24-37, claiming Local Transportation Funds for Fiscal Year 2024-2025.

Attachments:

1. Transportation Funding Claim Forms for Fiscal Year 2024-2025

(2) A copy of the 2024/25 Local Transportation Fund (LTF) estimates and the Final STA estimates per the State Controller’s methodology that are scheduled to be adopted by the FCOG Board on May 30, 2024.
(3) A summary of Fresno County Rural Transit Agency’s 2024/25 budget.

A copy of the Transportation Development Act Rules and Regulations manual can be viewed online at https://dot.ca.gov/-/media/dot-media/programs/rail-mass-transportation/documents/f0009844-tda-07- 2018-a11y.pdf.

Special Instructions:

Prepare the Claim in accordance with your budget. Adopt the claim by Resolution (same as last year) and return the claim and resolution to Fresno COG. Or if you have a continuing resolution, return the claim with a copy of your continuing resolution.

Timing:

Claims submitted to the Fresno COG Board for adoption must go through the Transportation Technical Committee, the Policy Advisory Committee, and Fresno COG Policy Board. This usually means that our Board will adopt your claim the month after we receive it providing that we receive it in time to make the TTC agenda mail out on the last Wednesday of the month.

The Process:
(1) The Fresno COG Board adopts the annual estimated fund apportionment for LTF. (2) Member Agencies reserve their annual portion of the fund:
a. A Claim is prepared in accordance with the agencies’ annual operating budget. b. The Claim is adopted by Resolution of the Local Agency Board. c. The Claim is adopted by Resolution of the Fresno COG Board. (3) LTF sales tax receipts are deposited monthly in the County Trust Fund, from the State Board of Equalization. Fresno COG sends allocation instructions to the County of Fresno Auditor Controller each quarter to issue checks to agencies based on the availability of sales tax, the unpaid Claim balance, and the priority of the Claim.
a. Transit is paid first.
b. Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities are paid second.
c. Streets and Roads are paid last.
(4) At year end the total tax receipts are compared to the original apportionment estimate. Shortfalls are deducted from the unpaid Article 8 Streets and Roads Claim balance pro rata. A surplus may be claimed as Article 3 Bike and Pedestrian, Article 4 Transit or Article 8 Streets and Roads and is paid out in the first quarter of the following fiscal year. A year-end report will be sent to each agency detailing the allocations paid during the year and the unpaid Claim balance. The allocation detail will facilitate agency year end close out and audit. The unpaid Claim balance should become a receivable from Fresno COG on the agency financial statements.

Eligibility and Compliance:

Article 4 – Transit
Detailed rules for eligibility and compliance for expenditure of Article 4 – Transit funds can be found in the Transportation Development Act Statutes and California Code of Regulations. Generally, any legitimate Transit operating or capital expense is eligible as long as the Section 6667 compliance requirements are followed.

Article 3 – Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities
Eligibility and compliance for expenditure of Article 3 funds are detailed in the Transportation Development Act Statutes and California Code of Regulations Section 99234.

Article 8a – Streets and Roads
The Fresno COG Board adopted the State Controller’s Office “Guidelines relating to Gas Tax Expenditure” as the criteria for determining eligibility of Article 8a. Generally, funds are eligible to be spent for any street related repair, maintenance, or construction. A copy of the Guidelines can be downloaded at https://sco.ca.gov/Files-AUD/gas_tax_guidelines31219.pdf.

An audit of TDA funds expended by Article is required each year by Section 6664. Generally, Fresno COG contracts with one firm to provide a combined audit report of all non-transit funds expended by entity.

Various transit providers have the Transit Compliance Report done as part of their annual audit. The reports are due to the State Controller’s Office within 180 days after the last day of the fiscal year. Fresno COG has statutory authority to extend the deadline no more than 90 days. Agencies with delinquent audit reports are ineligible to receive TDA allocations until the delinquency is resolved. The initial cost of the non-transit audits is funded by Fresno COG administrative fees. Additional audit fees incurred to resolve audit findings or to provide Transit Compliance reports are charged against the agency’s Article 4 & 8 apportionment the following year. In the interest of facilitating audit requirements, the Fresno County Transportation Authority has requested that we expand the TDA audits to include Measure “C” compliance. Public Transportation Modernization, Improvement, and Service Enhancement (PTMISEA) sent to Transit Operators from the State Controller’s Office and SB1 State of Good Repair funds allocated by FCOG will also be subject to the audit.

If you have any questions concerning the claim or the process, please call me at 233-4148.

ANALYSIS
The attached resolution, certification and claim forms for each applicable funding program are routine and required by the Fresno County Transportation Authority (“FCTA”) in order to receive the funding for Measure C Pass-Through Funds. With the funding provided by FCTA, the City of Mendota is able to fund street projects approved during the budget for each fiscal year.

FISCAL IMPACT
$478,433.00 to the City of Mendota Measure “C” Fund.

Mr. Cristian Gonzalez, City Manager
City of Mendota
[email protected]
Dear Mr. Gonzalez:

The Fresno County Transportation Authority, at its June 12, 2024, board meeting, adopted the attached Measure C Extension Local Transportation Purposes Pass-Through Projects and Program Funds apportionment for the fiscal year 2024-25 (Resolution 2024-01). As a result, local agency pass-through revenues from the Measure C Extension are available to claim for fiscal year 2024-25 using the numbers attached. These funds will be distributed monthly on a proportional basis as funds are received and based upon adopted percentages for each participating jurisdiction.

To begin distribution of the collected funds as soon as possible, it is required that each agency furnish the Transportation Authority with an executed FY2024-25 Certification and Claim form for each subprogram allocation along with an appropriate resolution from that agency. One resolution that specifically addresses each of the subprogram claim forms and the appropriate percentages allocated will be sufficient. These Certification and Claim forms are due to the Transportation Authority by August 30, 2024. In addition, each agency must also include language in their Claim Resolution of their intent to complete the prior year reporting requirements no later than November 15th when they submit their claim forms.

The Measure C Extension requires participating agencies receiving Measure C Extension funds to report their prior fiscal year expenditures no later than November 15th, as indicated on page 91 of the Measure C Extension Strategic Implementation Plan, Other Implementation Plan Provisions. If the expenditure reports are not filed with the Authority by November 15, 2024, the current fiscal years allocation will be held until such time as a completed report is filed for each program and subprogram.

A copy of the FY24-25 Resolution of Allocation has been included for reference. Each agency will receive one check that includes each subprogram where a completed claim form is filed and approved by the Authority Board along with a memo that details the subprogram breakdown.

This should assist each agency with tracking and monitoring the various subprogram requirements on spending these funds. The monitoring of these funds will be done by the annual audit process.

Local Transportation Pass-Through
June 26, 2024

The Certification and Claim Forms for each of the subprograms your agency is entitled to claim are attached. We have partially completed the forms on your behalf according to your previous year forms. Please return your completed and signed Certification and Claim forms for each subprogram along with your resolution by August 30, 2024. Please be sure to include your agency’s intent to meet the prior year expenditure reporting requirements (due no later than November 15, 2024) via email at [email protected]. One resolution that references all of the information listed above will be sufficient.

You will be provided with the FY23/24 Expenditure Reporting Requirement Forms, as soon as the FY23/24 end of year allocations are received with a reminder of your November 15th due date. As always, feel free to contact our office at 600-FCTA at any time. If you have questions or need assistance with the forms, please contact Denise DiBenedetto at 559.600.3282 or at the email mentioned above.

OF THE

CITY OF MENDOTA, COUNTY OF FRESNO
ORDINANCE NO. 24-03

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MENDOTA AMENDING CHAPTER 2.04 OF TITLE 2 OF THE MENDOTA MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO

THE TIME OF REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS
WHEREAS, at its Special Meeting on June 19, 2024, the City Council of the City of Mendota (“City”) discussed its desire to consider revisions to the City’s current schedule that places the City Council’s regular meetings on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at 6:00 p.m.; and
WHEREAS, Government Code section 54954 provides public agencies’ legislative bodies “shall provide, by ordinance, resolution, bylaws, or by whatever other rule is required for the conduct of business by that body, the time and place for holding regular meetings.” (Gov. Code, § 54954, subd. (a).); and WHEREAS, Government Code section 36805 states, “The city council shall hold regular meetings at least once a month at times fixed by ordinance or resolutions.

It may adjourn any regular or adjourned meeting to a date specified in the order of adjournment. When so adjourned, the adjourned meeting is a regular meeting for all purposes.” (Gov. Code, § 36805, emphasis added.); and
WHEREAS, the Mendota Municipal Code (“MMC”) currently sets the City Council’s regular meeting schedule by ordinance in Section 2.04.010; and WHEREAS, as a result, any desired revisions to the City Council’s regular meeting schedule must be adopted by ordinance in order to be effective.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Mendota does ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. The Recitals set forth above are incorporated herein and by this reference made an operative part hereof.

SECTION 2. Section 2.04.010 of Chapter 2.04 of Title 2 of the Mendota Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows:

2.04.010 – Regular City Council Meetings.

A. Time. Regular meetings of the council shall be held on the first and third Tuesdays second and fourth Tuesdays of each month at six p.m. Such meetings shall immediately follow the meeting of the Mendota 2 redevelopment agency when such meetings are held on the same date as the meeting of the council. In case the meeting date falls on a legal holiday, the regular meeting shall be held on the first business day thereafter.

B. Place. All regular meetings of the council shall be held in a place designated as council chambers. In the event the council chambers are in use or occupied said meeting may be moved to such other place as the council may direct.

SECTION 3. Severability. If any part of this Ordinance is held to be invalid for any reason, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance, and the City Council hereby declares that it would have passed the remainder of this Ordinance, as if such invalid portion thereof had been deleted.

SECTION 4. The City Council hereby finds and determines that its adoption of this Ordinance is not subject to environmental review under the Public Resources Code, § 21000 et seq., the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), because the amendments do not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and therefore are not considered a “project” under CEQA. (Pub. Res.

Code, § 21065; 14 Cal. Code Regs., §§ 15378(a), 15064(d)(3).) Accordingly, the City Clerk is hereby directed to file a Notice of Exemption.

SECTION 5. The Mayor shall sign and the City Clerk shall certify to the passage of this Ordinance and will see that it is published and posted in the manner required by law.

SECTION 6. This Ordinance shall become effective at midnight on the 31st day following its adoption.

1 AGENDA ITEM – STAFF REPORT
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: JEFFREY O’NEAL, AICP, CITY PLANNER
VIA: WYATT CZESHINSKI, ASSISTANT CITY PLANNER
SUBJECT: REZONE NO. 24-01
DATE: JULY 9, 2024
ISSUE
Shall the City Council introduce and waive the first reading of Ordinance No. 24-04, amending the official City of Mendota Zoning Map to rezone Assessor’s Parcel Number (“APN”) 013-105- 18 from the R2 (Multiple Family Medium High Density Residential – Min. 3,000 SQ. FT. per lot) zone district to the R1 (Single Family Medium Density Residential – Min. 6,000 SQ. FT. per lot) zone district and find that the rezone (Rezone 24-01) is absolved of further environmental analysis pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines Section 15183.

BACKGROUND
The Planning and Building Department has received an application for a rezone which proposes to change the zoning designation of Assessor’s Parcel Number 013-105-18, a 0.172-acre site, from R-2 to R-1. The site is currently vacant and undeveloped. At this time, no new development is being proposed.

Applicant: Peter Moua, Moua Engineering & Surveying LLC Location: (APN 013-105-18) Marie Street and Seventh Street See Attachment 1
Site Size: 0.172 acres (7,500 square feet)
General Plan: Medium Density Residential
See Attachment 2
Zoning: R-2
See Attachment 3
Existing Use: Vacant
Surrounding Uses: Northeast – Residential; R-1
Southeast – Vacant; R-2
Southwest – Railroad; M-1
Northwest – Vacant; R-2
Street Access: Marie Street, Public Alleyway

ANALYSIS
A tentative parcel map, pursuant to Senate Bill 9 (“SB9”), was recently approved by the City Council for APN 013-105-18. Staff correspondence with the California Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HCD”) has indicated that HCD interprets SB9 to apply to Single Family zone districts that are exclusively for single family housing. APN 013-105-18 is located 2 within the R-2 zone district, a zone district that allows for both single family and multi-family housing development. In order to align with HCD’s interpretation of SB9, APN 013-105-18 has been proposed to be rezoned to R-1. The R-1 zone district is consistent with the site’s Medium Density Residential land use designation.

The City of Mendota Planning Commission considered Rezone 24-01 at a regularly scheduled meeting on June 18, 2024. The Planning Commission passed Resolution No. PC 24-06, recommending that the City Council approve Rezone 24-01 and find that the action be absolved of further environmental analysis under CEQA.

ENVIRONMENTAL
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).

Rezone 24-01 does not authorize any particular activity. Any proposed future development would be subject to CEQA analysis if subject to discretionary approvals. The site would be rezoned to be consistent with the site’s existing General Plan land use designation. Therefore, staff supports the filing of a Notice of Determination utilizing the City’s General Plan and General Plan Environmental Impact Report, absolving the Project of further environmental analysis pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15183.

PUBLIC NOTICE
Notice of the public hearing was published in the June 28, 2024, edition of The Business Journal, posted at City Hall and the City’s website, and sent to property owners within 300 feet of the subject site via US Mail.

FISCAL IMPACT
Review and processing of rezones are paid for by the applicant, and the project is responsible for payment of all applicable development impact fees. No development has been proposed. Any future development would be responsible for payment of fees consistent with the appropriate standards at the time of application.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council introduce and waive the first reading of Ordinance No. 24-04, amending the official City of Mendota Zoning Map to reflect the change requested under Rezone No. 24-01 and finding that the action is absolved of further environmental analysis pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.

WHEREAS, staff correspondence with the California Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HCD”) has indicated that HCD interprets SB9 to require urban lot splits pursuant to SB9 to apply exclusively to sites zoned for only single family residential; and
WHEREAS, APN 013-105-18 is located within the R-2 (Multiple Family Medium High Density Residential – Min. 3,000 SQ. FT. per lot), a zone district that allows both single family and multi-family housing; and
WHEREAS, to align with the HCD interpretation of SB9, APN 013-105-18 has been proposed to be rezoned to R-1 (Single Family Medium Density Residential – Min. 6,000 SQ.

WHEREAS, at a regular meeting on June 18, 2024, the Mendota Planning Commission considered Rezone 24-01 and recommended that the City Council approve Rezone No. 24-01 and find that the action is absolved of further environmental analysis; and

SECTION 2. Based on the testimony and information presented at the public hearings held for Rezone No. 24-01, the City Council has determined that the rezoning of the subject parcel is consistent with the General Plan and General Plan Environmental Impact Report. Rezone No. 24-01 is thereby absolved of further environmental analysis pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183. Any subsequent development of the site would conform to the development standards of the resulting zone district proposed by Rezone No. 24-01. The City Council has further determined that the rezoning of the subject parcel is in the best interest of the City of Mendota.

SECTION 3. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this Ordinance is held for any reason to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the Ordinance. The City Council of the City of Mendota hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

SECTION 4. The Mayor shall sign and the City Clerk shall certify to the passage of this Ordinance and will see that it is published and posted in the manner required by law.

SECTION 5. This ordinance shall become effective and in full force at 12:00 midnight on the 31st day following its adoption.

1 AGENDA ITEM – STAFF REPORT
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: JEFFREY O’NEAL, AICP, CITY PLANNER
BY: WYATT CZESHINSKI, ASSISTANT CITY PLANNER
SUBJECT: APPLICATION NO. 24-30, ESCOBAR ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT DATE: JULY 9, 2024
ISSUE
Shall the City Council introduce and waive the first reading of Ordinance No. 24-06, amending Mendota Municipal Code (“MMC”) Section 17.24.080 and finding that such activities are exempt from further environmental analysis pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3)?

BACKGROUND
The Community Development Department has received an application from Benjamin Escobar requesting to amend the MMC. The request seeks to eliminate subsection G of MMC Section

17.24.080, which reads as follows:
“The date of manufacture of all manufactured housing and mobilehomes shall be no more than ten years from the date of the application for issuance of a building permit.” This standard applies to all single family manufactured homes and mobilehomes within the R-1 (Single Family/Medium Density Residential) zone district.

ANALYSIS
Elimination of MMC Section 17.24.080(G) would allow owners of property within the R-1 zone district to utilize manufactured homes and mobilehomes that were manufactured more than 10 years prior to the date on which a building permit application was made. The State, in response to its declared Housing Crisis, has made housing availability a priority and the elimination of this provision in the MMC would reduce restrictions on housing, aligning with the goals of the State.

If this Zoning Text Amendment were to be approved manufactured homes and mobilehomes provided in Mendota which have been manufactured 10 or more years prior to building permit application will still be required to meet a local and State regulations, such as the California Building Code, the California Health and Safety Code, and all applicable City development standards.

The City of Mendota Planning Commission considered the Zoning Text Amendment proposed under Application No. 24-30 at a regularly scheduled meeting on June 18, 2024. The Planning Commission passed Resolution No. PC 24-08, recommending that the City Council approve the Zoning Text Amendment and find that the action be absolved of further environmental analysis under CEQA.
2 ENVIRONMENTAL
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 Section 15000, et seq. 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 the issuance to a person of a “lease, permit, license, certificate, or other entitlement for use” as described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. However, the proposed ordinance amendment does not approve or otherwise authorize any specific activity that could result in a physical change to the environment; it is solely an amendment to regulations. In cases where it can be shown with certainty that the project being considered has no possibility of causing a significant impact to the environment, the project is not subject to CEQA as indicated in Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). Further, any future activity taken pursuant to the code as amended would be ministerial in nature (i.e., a building permit) and not subject to CEQA on its own.

PUBLIC NOTICE
In accordance with MMC Section 17.08.040(F), a Notice of Public Hearing was published in The Business Journal on June 28, 2024. It was also posted at City Hall and on the City’s website.

FISCAL IMPACT
Costs for processes initiated by applicants are paid for through application fees. There is no impact to the General Fund or other City funds.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council introduce and waive the first reading of Ordinance No. 24-06, amending MMC Section 17.024.080 and finding that such activities are exempt from further environmental analysis under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).

H. Certification. All manufactured homes shall be certified under the National Mobilehome Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. Section 4501 et seq.).

I. Wheels and Axles. All manufactured home tow bars, wheels and axles shall be removed when the manufactured home is installed on a residential lot, so as to be compatible with structures within the existing district.
