E. Planning Commission Resolution 25-05, A Resolution of the Planning Commission of the City of Montague Recommending the City Council Adopt the Draft Zoning Code Update as Further Amended on June 18, 2025.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
In 2020, the City of Montague was awarded two planning grants (SB 2 and LEAP) from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for the purpose of preparing and updating various planning documents to facilitate housing opportunities. Work completed by the City of Montague under the planning grants includes implementation of the City's 5' Cycle Housing Element, development and adoption of an Accessory Dwelling Unit ordinance, a fee study and planning fee update, and updates to the City of Montague General Plan Housing, Circulation, Noise, Open Space, and Conservation Elements.

In addition to the projects completed thus far, grant funding was awarded to update the remainder of the General Plan (i.e., Land Use and Safety Elements) and to update the City's Zoning Code. Grant funding was requested to update the General Plan because, aside from the Housing Element, the General Plan was last comprehensively updated in 1989 and numerous revisions were necessary to comply with state general plan law.' Funding was requested to update the Zoning Code because like the General Plan, the City's Zoning Code was last comprehensively updated several years ago (1983) and revisions are needed to reflect changes to state law and new case law, and because the Zoning Code is required by state law to be consistent with the City's General Plan update.

Sections below summarize the updates to the General Plan Introduction, Land Use Element, and Zoning Code. The draft General Plan Introduction and Land Use Element are also included in their entirety as Exhibits A and B to Attachment A, respectively, and the draft Zoning Code update is included in its entirety as Exhibit A to Attachment B. For reference, and to prevent the staff report from being unnecessarily longer than it is, the City's 1989 General Plan is available on the City's website at https://cityofmontagueca.gov/general-plan/, the City's current Zoning Code is available at https://montague.municipal.codes/Code/17, and the City's current zoning map is included as Attachment C at the end of this staff report.

DRAFT GENERAL PLAN INTRODUCTION AND LAND USE ELEMENT UPDATES As proposed, the draft General Plan Introduction and Land Use Element would be updated to include additional background information on the City of Montague and its planning area. The draft Introduction would be further updated to describe the purpose of the General Plan; identify and establish the planning area; summarize state mandates for the General Plan; detail the scope and intended use of the General Plan; describe the relationship of the General Plan to the Zoning Code and Subdivision Ordinance; identify the contents of General Plan elements; briefly describe the history of the General Plan; provide for future general plan amendments; and identify the key planning strategies used in developing the General Plan. Unlike the General Plan elements, the Introduction to the General Plan does not include policies or programs.
' Although the Housing Element had been updated more recently than the other General Plan Elements, it was updated in accordance with state housing law and statutory timelines in 2024.

General Plan Introduction, Land Use Element, & Zoning Code Updates Page 2 As proposed, the draft Land Use Element update incorporates the issues, opportunities, and constraints identified throughout the rest of the General Plan update process in an effort to balance those issues, opportunities, and constraints with the community's goals for its future development, as well as to ensure an adequate supply of residential, commercial, mixed use, manufacturing, public agency, and other lands to meet the foreseeable needs of the community. As proposed, the draft Land Use Element includes revised goals, policies, and programs for the purposes of (1) meeting the housing, employment, service, and social needs of the existing and future population; (2) conserving and enhancing Montague's rural small-town character; (3) establishing a strong economic base that provides more job opportunities for residents of the City; (4) allowing for sustainable planned growth in the planning area balanced with preservation and protection of the viability of agricultural areas surrounding the City; and (5) ensuring a high-quality municipal airport with compatible development in the vicinity of the airport, including development of the City's adjacent property. The draft Land Use Element has been further updated to include an analysis of historic and anticipated population growth, a description of the general distribution of land uses in Montague, an assessment of potential disadvantaged unincorporated communities (DUCs) in the Sphere of Influence, and new and updated maps. New land use classifications are proposed consistent with and to support the zoning districts described below. Proposed updates to the City of Montague General Plan Introduction and Land Use Element are shown in Exhibits A and B to Attachment A.

DRAFT ZONING CODE UPDATE
As noted above, the last general update of Title 17, Zoning, of the Montague Municipal Code (i.e., the Zoning Code) occurred in 1983. While there have been periodic minor revisions since then, the Zoning Code must be consistent with the City's proposed General Plan update and several revisions are currently needed to: reflect changes to state law and case law; eliminate constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing pursuant to Government Code Section 65583(c)(3); better define land uses, regulations, and exceptions; and facilitate development and redevelopment.

To facilitate development and redevelopment in a centrally located area of the community, as well as eliminate constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing within that area, much of the current Commercial (C-1) zoning district and a large portion of the General Commercial (C- 2) district within the historic downtown core would be replaced by one of two new mixed-use zoning districts. The proposed mixed-use zoning districts are intended to: better reflect existing development in the areas they would be applied to; provide for future integration of compatible residential and non- residential uses; improve access to housing, jobs, services, open space, and other destinations through non-vehicular transit modes; promote economic investment, redevelopment, and revitalization in the community; encourage a compact urban form; and safeguard the character of existing neighborhoods.

To that end, the proposed Town Center (T-C ) mixed-use district is intended to be applied to commercial and mixed-use properties in and around the historic town center to encourage a broad array of compatible retail, professional, entertainment, civic, and other uses that contribute to a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly environment, whereas the proposed Mixed-Use (M-U) zoning district is intended to be applied primarily to centrally located areas outside of the historic town center that are suitable for a compatible mixture residential and nonresidential uses that can be readily served by existing infrastructure and public transit.

While the permitted uses in the new mixed-use districts would remain largely the same as the permitted uses in the current C-1 district, the emphasis in the T-C zoning district would be on preservation of the commercial core function of the district whereas the emphasis in the M-U district would be on ensuring compatibility of residential and nonresidential uses.

In addition to introducing mixed-use zoning districts, the Zoning Code update would introduce the Open Space, Public Facilities, and Planned Development districts, which are described below. Additionally, the Mobile Home combining district would be eliminated to instead rely on the more cost effective conditional use permit process to establish a mobile home park, and an Airport Overlay district consistent with the General Plan Introduction, Land Use Element, & Zoning Code Updates Page 3 Siskiyou County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan and the State Airport Approaches Zoning Law (Government Code Sections 50485-50485. 14) is proposed. In short, zoning districts are proposed to be introduced, renamed, separated, and eliminated as shown in the table below.

Further, in response to Reed v. Town of Gilbert (2015), in which the United States Supreme Court determined that municipal governments may not "restrict expression because of its message, its ideas, its subject matter, or its content," cities and counties throughout the United States have been updating their sign regulations to ensure they do not infringe upon constitutionally protected free speech. To comply, a comprehensive overhaul of the City's sign regulations is proposed that would provide for enhanced public safety, controls, and sign standards.

Other proposed changes to the Zoning Code include: eliminating the use permit requirement for multifamily residential in the High Density Residential (R-3) zoning district; updating existing provisions for emergency shelters to ensure only objective standards consistent with AB 2339 are applied; allowing low barrier navigation centers by right in all mixed-use and nonresidential zoning districts that allow multifamily residential; and establishing objective design review standards for affordable multifamily residential and mixed-use developments that request streamlined processing and ministerial approval pursuant to state law (e.g., SB 167, SB 35, and SB 330). Several of the changes proposed are consistent with and would implement the City's adopted 6' Cycle Housing Element.

As proposed, the update of Title 17, Zoning, would include the following chapters:

Each chapter is summarized below, and the proposed zoning regulations are included in their entirety in Exhibit A to Attachment B.

17.04, General Provisions
This chapter establishes the purpose of Title 17 and its application to land within the City of Montague, and it establishes the standard for interpretation of the zoning regulations.

17.08 Definitions
This chapter identifies and defines many of the terms used in Title 17. With definitions for 240+ terms, as opposed to the 71 terms currently defined in Chapter 17.08 (Definitions), clarity would be greatly enhanced and the need for future zoning code interpretations significantly reduced.

17.12 Districts Generally
This chapter identifies each of the zoning districts included in Title 17, provides a process for determining uncertain zoning district boundaries, prohibits split zoning, and establishes the R-1 zoning district as the default zoning for annexed lands.

General Plan Introduction, Land Use Element, & Zoning Code Updates Page 5

17.16 Rural Residential, R-R
This chapter identifies permitted and conditionally permitted uses and development standards within the R-R district (current RAG-2.5 district). In accordance with state law, proposed changes include the ability to establish cottage food operations and family childcare homes by right, and manufactured home parks and residential care facilities with a conditional use permit. In addition, home occupations and short-term rentals would be permitted by right subject to issuance of a business license and in compliance with new standards for home-based businesses and short-term rentals. The update would also allow small farmstands that sell products grown/produced onsite by right, and it would allow commercial stables with a use permit.

17.20 Residential Expanded, R-E
This chapter identifies permitted and conditionally permitted uses and development standards within the R-E district. In accordance with state law, proposed changes include the ability to establish cottage food operations and tamily childcare homes by right, and group homes that provide licensable services to more than six residents, manufactured home parks, and residential care facilities with a conditional use permit. In addition, home occupations and short-term rentals would be permitted by right subject to issuance of a business license and in compliance with new standards for home-based businesses and short-term rentals. With a conditional use permit, community gardens would be allowed in compliance with new standards for community gardens.

17.24 Low Density Residential, R-1
This chapter identifies permitted and conditionally permitted uses and development standards within the R-1 district. Proposed changes are the same as those described for the R-E district above.

17.28 Medium Residential, R-2
This chapter identifies permitted and conditionally permitted uses and development standards within the R-2 district. Proposed changes are the same as those described above for the R-E district.

17.32 High Density Residential, R-3
This chapter identifies permitted and conditionally permitted uses and development standards within the R-3 district. Proposed changes include those changes described in the R-E district above, as well as the ability to establish community gardens subject to compliance with new standards for same. Also proposed is the ability to establish dwelling groups, group homes that provide licensable services to more than six residents, low barrier navigation centers, residential care facilities, and more than four multifamily units per lot. As proposed, adult day programs would be allowed with a conditional use permit.

As noted above, the current R-3 zoning allows up to four multifamily residential units "per lot" by right and five or more units per lot with a use permit (no established maximum). As proposed, this allowance would be replaced with a more restrictive limit of up to 17 dwelling units/acre consistent with the current Land Use Element, the current Housing Element, and the proposed Land Use Element. While removal of the use permit requirement for more than four units per lot may appear to be a density increase, it is a slight reduction. This is because the current R-3 zoning district limits multifamily residential to four units "per lot" - not per acre - and the R-3 district allows a minimum lot size of 7,500 square feet (0.17 acre) and 2,000 square feet per dwelling unit. As a result, current R-3 zoning permits up to 20 units per acre by right, albeit on five parcels. Because this exceeds the maximum density allowed by the existing and proposed General Plan Land Use Elements, the R-3 density allowance would be reduced.

17.36 Mixed Use, M-U
This chapter identifies permitted and conditionally permitted uses and development standards within the proposed M-U district. The M-U zoning district would replace the Commercial (C-1) district and is intended General Plan Introduction, Land Use Element, & Zoning Code Updates Page 6 to be applied to centrally located areas suitable for a compatible mixture of residential and nonresidential uses. Proposed changes include the ability to establish artist studios, community gardens, media production companies, mixed-use developments, dwelling groups, group homes that provide licensable services to more than six residents, residential care facilities, and adult day programs by right, and manufactured home parks, mobile food courts, and RV parks with a use permit.

17.40 Town Center, T-C
This chapter identifies permitted and conditionally permitted uses and development standards within the proposed T-C district. The proposed district encompasses the historic downtown area along S 11h Street between the former Ms. Lynn's Tea shop in the north and the Montague Depot Museum in the south.

Uses allowed in the district would be much the same as in the M-U district, except that residential use would be limited to the second floor and above by right. Exceptions would be granted for live-work units and as needed to ensure individuals with disabilities have equal access to housing.

17.44 General Commercial, G-C
This chapter identifies permitted and conditionally permitted uses and development standards within the G-C district. Proposed changes include the ability to establish many of the uses described for the M-U district above and, in general, permitted and conditionally permitted uses would be better defined.

Otherwise, the G-C regulations would remain largely the same as the present C-2 district regulations.

17.48 Manufacturing, M
This chapter identifies permitted and conditionally permitted uses and development standards within the M district. The permitted and conditionally permitted uses would be better defined, but otherwise the district would remain largely the same as it is at present.

17.52 Open Space, O-S
This chapter introduces the O-S district and identifies the permitted and conditionally permitted uses and development standards within it. The O-S district is intended to be applied to public lands that should be preserved in a natural state and/or that provide active or passive recreational opportunities; however, at this time it would not be broadly applied. Lands proposed to be zoned O-S include Railroad Park, Hoag Park, Diggle Field, and the Rodeo Grounds.

17.56 Public Facilities, P-F
This chapter introduces the P-F district and identifies the permitted and conditionally permitted uses and development standards within it. The P-F district is intended to be applied to public lands that that house public and quasi-public facilities. Lands proposed to be zoned P-F include Montague-Yreka Rohrer Field, the water and wastewater treatment plants, elementary school, Fire Station, PP&L substation on Old Montague Road, City Hall (including the park and pool), and the Water Conservation District property on S 10f Street.

17.60 Planned Development, P-D
This chapter introduces the P-D district and identifies the permitted and conditionally permitted uses and development standards within it. The P-D district is intended to be applied to large parcels to provide flexible development options for these parcels, however, prior to subdivision and approval of a development plan, permitted uses in the P-D district are limited to uses allowed in the R-1 district. A 17.5- acre parcel located along N gh Street that is presently zoned Manufacturing is proposed to be zoned P- D to allow the property to be developed with less intensive uses.

General Plan Introduction, Land Use Element, & Zoning Code Updates Page 7

17.64 Airport Overlay District, A-O
This chapter introduces the A-O combining district and identifies use and height limit restrictions and other requirements for lands within the airport influence area of Montague-Yreka Rohrer Field. The proposed regulations are consistent with the State Airport Approaches Zoning Law (Government Code Sections 50485-50485.14), the Siskiyou County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (2001), and Montague Municipal Code Chapter 17.24 (Airport Zoning), which it would replace.

17.68 Similar Use Determinations
This chapter describes the process that would be used by the Planning Commission to determine whether a proposed use is similar to a permitted or conditionally permitted use when it is unclear whether the proposed use is allowed in a particular zoning district. It would provide for a record of decisions and regular Code amendments that reflect those determinations.

17.72 Off-Street Parking
This chapter consolidates the minimum off-street parking requirements for all uses provided for in Title 17 in one location rather than incorporating them into each zoning district as is currently the practice. It would provide for shared parking facilities, accommodations for compact vehicles, and reductions and exceptions to the amount of required parking. The chapter would also establish design, construction, and maintenance standards, landscaping requirements for larger parking lots, and the ability to implement in- lieu parking fees to address parking deficits.

17.76 Signs
This chapter consists of a comprehensive overhaul of the City's sign regulations while remaining largely consistent with current standards. In accordance with the First Amendment and established case law (Reed v. Town of Gilbert (2015), provisions regulating sign message and content would be removed. To eliminate governmental constraints and ensure that all signs are reviewed for safety considerations, the update transfers responsibility for reviewing and approving signs from the Planning Commission to the building official.

17.80 Nonconforming Structures, Uses, and Parcels
This chapter establishes special regulations for nonconforming land uses, structures, and parcels that were lawful prior to the adoption of the proposed update, but which would be prohibited, regulated, or restricted differently under the current terms of the update or future amendments. It is the intent of the regulations to allow existing nonconformities to continue and even expand under limited conditions, and to allow for reconstruction of nonconforming structures in the event of a disaster.

17.84 Use Permits and Variances
This chapter describes the process for applying for, considering, and approving administrative permits, conditional use permits, and variances, as well as for modification or revocation of same.

17.88 Special Provisions
This chapter describes the standards and requirements for a variety of specific issues and uses, including: site plans; official plan lines; second dwelling units; manufactured homes; manufactured home parks; recreational vehicles; recreational vehicle parks; open space requirements for multifamily developments; single-room occupancy units; emergency shelters; fences, walls, hedges, and equivalent screening; outdoor lighting for public, quasi-public, multifamily, commercial, industrial, and institutional uses; temporary structures; commercial outdoor dining and seating; community gardens; garage sales; height limit exceptions; setback exceptions; dish-type or satellite antennas; cargo containers; and screening.

General Plan Introduction, Land Use Element, & Zoning Code Updates Page 8

17.92 Live/Work Units and Home-Based Businesses
This chapter describes the conditions under which limited nonresidential activities may be conducted when incidental to residential activities. It would provide for live-work units, home occupations, and cottage food operations.

17.96 Short-Term Rentals
This chapter describes the proposed regulations for short-term rentals, including establishing an annual registration requirement, application process, inspection requirement, operational standards, prohibitions, and penalties for noncompliance. By creating a registry and requiring regular inspections, the City would be able to better monitor short-term rental conversions and long-term housing for its residents, prevent disturbances within residential areas, and safeguard the public.

17.100 Bed and Breakfast Inns
This chapter establishes standards for the bed and breakfast inns to assure compatibility with surrounding residential neighborhoods, as well as procedures for the processing of bed and breakfast inn applications.

It would remain substantially the same as current Chapter 17.20 (Bed and Breakfast Inns).

17.104 Mobile Food Sales
This chapter would establish standards and exceptions for mobile food vendors, whether individuals operating on public or private property or multiple vendors operating from within a mobile food court. It would also establish standards for the establishment and operation of mobile food courts when permitted elsewhere by the Code.

17.108 Accessory Dwelling Units
This chapter provides for accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units (J/ADUs) consistent with Government Code Sections 66310 - 66342. The current J/ADU regulations were adopted by the City Council in July 2021, however, state J/ADU law has continued to evolve since then.

Accordingly, the ADU regulations have been updated in accordance with state law. Proposed changes to Chapter 17.100 consist of:
• Updating reference to the sections of Government Code containing J/ADU law. • Adding a definition for "livable space" to Section 17.100.020 (Definitions). • Allowing up to eight detached ADUs on parcels developed with multifamily dwellings rather than the current limit of two, provided that the number of detached ADUs does not exceed the number of dwelling units on the lot.
• Limiting attached one-story accessory dwelling units and detached two-story accessory dwelling units to 26 feet.
• Allowing up to two additional feet of building height to accommodate a roof pitch that aligns with the primary dwelling when the lot is within one half-mile of a major transit stop or high-quality transit corridor.
• Removal of subjective requirements, such being "substantially compatible with the principal dwelling and neighborhood," as well as the elimination of architectural standards when the ADU is located within the required setbacks of the principal dwelling. • Requiring that ADUs comply with the front yard setback requirement of the zoning district, expanding the setback exemption for ADUs converted from existing space or to the same dimensions as an existing structure, and requiring building separations according to building or fire code.

General Plan Introduction, Land Use Element, & Zoning Code Updates Page 9 • Providing an additional exception to the off-street parking requirement when the building permit application for the ADU is submitted at the same time as a building permit application for a new single-family or multifamily dwelling on the same lot, provided that the ADU or the parcel satisfies any other criteria listed in Government Code Section 66322, subdivision (a)(1)-(5). • Removing submittal of a photograph of the principal dwelling from the list of application requirements.
• Unless supported by the finding that "correcting the violation is necessary to protect the health and safety of the public or occupants of the structure," prohibiting denial of a permit for an existing ADU constructed prior to 2018 without of a building permit. • Clarifying that the limit on the number of ADUs and JADUs per parcel applies to parcels with an existing or proposed single-family dwelling.
• Requiring an interior entry to the principal dwelling when a JADU lacks its own separate bathroom.

17.112 Wireless Telecommunications Facilities
This chapter would establish regulations for the establishment and operation of wireless telecommunications facilities outside of public rights-of-way.

17.116 Surface Mining and Reclamation
This chapter describes the requirements for the approval and modification of reclamation plans, interim management plans, and financial assurances, for making vested mining rights determinations, and for the annual inspection and reporting of surface mining operations. The chapter is consistent with the State's Surface Mining and Reclamation Act (SMARA) and current Montague Municipal Code Chapter

17.52 (Surface Mining Regulations).

17.120 Reasonable Accommodations
This chapter describes the procedure for making requests for reasonable accommodation in land use, zoning, and building regulations, policies, practices, and procedures to comply fully with the intent and purpose of fair housing laws. Specifically, this chapter describes the process for providing individuals with disabilities reasonable accommodation in rules, policies, practices, and procedures to ensure equal access to housing and facilitate the development of housing for individuals with disabilities in accordance with the federal Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act. It is consistent with Montague Municipal Code Chapter 17.56 (Reasonable Accommodations) and current state law.

17.124 Residential Density Bonuses
This chapter describes the incentives that are available to developers for the creation of housing for very low-, low-, and moderate-income, special needs, and senior households in accordance with Government Code Sections 65915-65918. This chapter would replace current Chapter 17.58 (Residential Density Bonuses) in its entirety, which is similar but slightly more detailed. Because state law regarding density bonuses continues to evolve, Chapter 17.124 focuses on local procedures for processing density bonus applications to reduce the need for future Zoning Code amendments.

17.128 Objective Design Standards
This chapter establishes objective designs standards for affordable multifamily residential and mixed-use levelopments that request streamlined processing and ministerial approval pursuant to state lan rovisions that reference objective design standards (e.g.. SB 167, SB 35, and SB 330). The obiective design standards would supplement the development standards elsewhere in the Zoning Code.

General Plan Introduction, Land Use Element, & Zoning Code Updates Page 10

17.132 Amendments
This chapter describes the process for amending Title 17, Zoning.

17.136 Hearings and Appeals
This chapter details the public notice requirements for projects subject to a public hearing, and it establishes a process for appeals of staff and Planning Commission actions.

17.140 Enforcement and Penalties
This chapter requires staff compliance with implementation of the Zoning Code, establishes penalties for violations of the Zoning Code, and it provides for abatement of nuisances associated with the Zoning Code violations.

Again, the draft Zoning Code and draft Zoning Map are included in their entirety as Exhibit A to Attachment B.

PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW
As part of the City's efforts to ensure the updates to the General Plan and Zoning Code reflect the voice of the community, community surveys were made available at the beginning of the project, and the Planning Commission hosted a series of public workshops and public hearings throughout the General Plan and Zoning Code update process.

Following a public hearing of the Planning Commission on October 18, 2023, the Planning Commission voted affirmatively to recommend to the City Council that it approve of the draft Zoning Code update subject to CEQA compliance. However, prior to presenting the draft Zoning Code update to the City Council, the draft was further amended to implement several programs adopted by the City in its 2024 Housing Element update. Those revisions were subsequently reviewed by the Planning Commission, along with the draft General Plan Introduction, draft Land Use Element, and recommended CEQA exemption, at a public hearing on April 16, 2025. At the conclusion of the April 16" public hearing, the four members of the Planning Commission present found the project to be exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) and adopted Resolution 25-01, A Resolution of the Planning Commission of the City of Montague Recommending the City Council Adopt the 2025 Updates to the General Plan Introduction, Land Use Element, and Zoning Code (see Attachment D).

However, prior to presenting the draft updates and Planning Commission recommendation to the City Council, planning staff identified a typo in the draft Zoning Code update as well as a few small changes that should be made be better align housing terminology with state definitions and/or usage. As such, the amended draft Zoning Code update was brought to the Planning Commission for a public hearing on June 18, 2025. At the conclusion of the June 18' public hearing, the four members of the Planning Commission present again found the project to be exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) and this time adopted Resolution 25-05, A Resolution of the Planning Commission of the City of Montague Recommending the City Council Adopt the Draft Zoning Code Update as Further Amended on June 18, 2025. (see Attachment E).

REPEAL OF REDUNDANT REGULATIONS
Following the City's update to the Zoning Code, there are certain provisions of the Montague Municipal Code outside of Title 17, Zoning, that would become redundant. Regulations that would no longer be necessary include Chapter 12.24 (Yard, Garage or Estate Sale), Chapter 15.20 (Mobile Homes), Chapter

15.28 (Recycling in Development Projects), and Title 14 (Signs). Proposed changes are discussed below.

General Plan Introduction, Land Use Element, & Zoning Code Updates Page 11 Chapter 12.24, Yard, Garage or Estate Sale
As proposed, Chapter 12.24 would be deleted in its entirety and replaced by draft Section 17.88.180 (Garage sales). The existing and proposed regulations are very similar; however, the update would not permit garage sales to be extended beyond three per year.

Chapter 15.20, Mobile Homes
Portions of Chapter 15.20 are inconsistent with state law and/or include other issues that make them unfavourable. This includes an adopted $7/foot in-lieu fee for curb and gutter, which currently cost the City approximately $80/foot to install. Further, in accordance with Section 12.08.020 (Curb and gutter requirement), these improvements can be deferred for all other property types. It is therefore recommended that the City eliminate Chapter 15.20 in its entirety and replace it with Section 17.88.060 (Manufactured home parks) as proposed, and that if an in-lieu fee is desired, the City Council establish and maintain a citywide fee via resolution, which allows the fee to be more easily updated.

Chapter 15.28, Recycling in Development Projects
As proposed, Chapter 15.28 would be deleted in its entirety and replaced by draft Section 17.88.230 (Trash and recycling enclosures). The existing and proposed regulations are very similar because they are both based on a model ordinance for collection and loading of recyclable materials in development projects that was developed by the California Integrated Waste Management Board in accordance with the California Solid Waste Reuse and Recycling Access Act of 1991.

Title 14, Signs
To eliminate references to message content in Title 14 in accordance with Reed v. Town of Gilbert (2015), as previously discussed, Title 14 would be deleted in its entirety and replaced by Chapter 17.76 (Signs).

ENVIRONMENTAL RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission and planning staff are recommending that the project is exempt from environmental review pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). Section 15061(b)(3) is better known as the "common sense exemption" in that it states CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

The Planning Commission and staff recommend a Section 15061(b)(3) exemption for the project because considerable attention has been given throughout the project to: ensuring efficient use of land and resources; safeguarding the community and the environment; improving land use compatibility; and providing flexibility to address unanticipated or unusual circumstances. Further, the issues and concerns addressed by CEQA have been integrated throughout the City's General Plan update, and the draft Zoning Code is consistent with the General Plan. Importantly, the draft General Plan Introduction, Land Use Element, and Zoning Code updates also do not provide for increased densities or intensities of development beyond what is presently developed, currently provided for in the 1989 General Plan or 1983 Zoning Code, or required by the 2024 Housing Element, nor do they have the potential to cause a significant adverse effect on the environment.?
2 While the use permit requirement for multifamily housing in the R-3 district would be eliminated, the change is consistent with the current and proposed Land Use Elements and is required by the 2024 Housing Element.

Potential impacts associated with the densities and intensities of development and types of development established by the 1989 General Plan were evaluated by the City in an environmental impact report (SCH No. 19890226110) prior to the Plan's adoption and were determined to be less than significant. More recently, the goals, policies, and programs of the 6' Cycle Housing Element being implemented through the City's Zoning Code update were evaluated by the City and determined to be exempt from CEQA.

General Plan Introduction, Land Use Element, & Zoning Code Updates Page 12 As an example, although the draft Land Use Element and Zoning Code updates propose mixed-use in areas presently zoned commercial, the proposed mixed-use areas have historically developed with a combination of residential and nonresidential uses; are centrally located adjacent to the City's primary transportation routes; are presently served by public utilities and public transit; have nearby (i.e., nonvehicular) access to parks, the school, public buildings, and goods and services; and have become increasingly occupied with residential uses over the past 20+ years as commercial activity in the City has declined. For these reasons, the mixed-use land use classification and zoning are proposed to: (1) better reflect existing conditions in the areas they are proposed to be applied to; (2) provide for continued integration of compatible residential and non-residential uses in the areas they are applied to; (3) improve access to housing, jobs, services, open space, and other destinations through non-vehicular transit modes; (4) promote economic investment, redevelopment, and revitalization in the community; (5) encourage a compact urban form; and (6) safeguard the character of existing neighborhoods.

Accordingly, the project would not directly or indirectly allow any activity, land use, or conversion to occur with the potential to substantially impact the public or environment, nor does the project have the potential • Have significant cumulative impacts in the same place over time; • Have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances; • Result in damage to scenic resources within a highway officially designated as a state scenic highway;
• Occur on a hazardous waste site on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code; or
• Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.

If the City Council concurs with the environmental recommendation made by the Planning Commission and staff, it should make the finding that the project is exempt from CEQA prior to approving the project.

As such, a finding to this effect has been included in the first suggested motion on page one of this staff report, and it has been incorporated into428 the draft resolution and draft ordinance prepared for the City Council's consideration.
3 Residential uses would still be limited to the second floor and above in the Town Center, unless issued a conditional use permit or provided a reasonable accommodation in accordance with the federal Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act.

1.1 THE PLANNING AREA
The City of Montague is located in north central Siskiyou County along State Route 3 in northern California, approximately six miles east of the county seat of Yreka and 19 miles south of the Oregon border. The City covers an area of approximately 1.74 square miles, or 1,111 acres, at the northern end of Shasta Valley, a broad valley known for its agriculture, agricultural heritage, distinctive topography, wildlife, and diversity of habitats. The elevation of the City of Montague is approximately 2,539 feet. Land within the City is relatively flat, sloping gently to the west/northwest toward the nearby Shasta River and Oregon Slu along the City's north end. A few small hills dot the largely treeless landscape, and one larger hill named Gregory Mountain rises 656 feet from the valley floor at the southeastern end of the City. Mount Shasta (elevation 14,162 feet) dominates the skyline 26 miles further to the south. The Central Oregon Pacific Railroad passes through Montague from north to south, effectively dividing the City into eastern and western halves. An aerial overview of the City and its location in the State are shown in Figure 1-1 below.

According to the U.S. Census, Montague had 1,226 residents in the year 2020, or roughly 2.8 percent of the population of Siskiyou County at the time. More recently, the California Department of Finance estimated the City's 2024 population to be 1,199 residents.

A general plan must include all of the territory within the boundaries of the jurisdiction for which the plan is adopted. It should also include any area outside the jurisdiction which, in that jurisdiction's judgment, bears a relation to its planning concerns. Since many planning and development issues cross over political boundaries, California planning law provides for extraterritorial planning. This is a process by which a city can indicate to neighboring jurisdictions its concern for the future use of land and resources adjacent to the city. In the case of Montague, the Siskiyou Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) has adopted a "sphere of influence" for the City, which represents the City's probable ultimate physical boundary and service area.

The City's sphere of influence includes approximately 681 acres or 1.06 square miles and is shown on Figure 2-15 in the Land Use Element. The planning area for Montague includes all area within the incorporated city boundaries as well as the City's sphere of influence.

1.2 PURPOSE OF THE GENERAL PLAN
California state law requires that each city and county adopt a general plan "for the physical development of the county or city, and any land outside its boundaries which in the planning agency's judgment bears relation to its planning" (Government Code Section 65300). General plans must also cover a wide range of topics of community importance, such as housing, safety, transportation, etc., with which to direct development of the city or county relative to those issues. 1 Each of the General Plan elements includes additional background information pertinent to the topic being discussed. For a detailed description of the City's demographics, please refer to the Housing Element.

City of Montague General Plan 1.0 Introduction

In doing so, the policies in general plans serve as the foundation upon which all city and county land use decisions are based. However, general plans are more than policy documents. They also reflect the vision, values, and priorities of a community. They define what is unique and special about the community that should be preserved, and they identify strategic ways to improve the quality of life for the community's residents and businesses.

1.3 STATE MANDATES FOR THE GENERAL PLAN
In addition to requiring that every city and county adopt a general plan, state law requires that each jurisdiction's general plan be long-range, comprehensive, internally consistent, and that specific topics relevant to the physical development of community be addressed. As specified in Government Code Section 65302, the specific topics that must be addressed are: land use, housing, circulation, noise, open space, conservation, and safety? Each topic has traditionally been treated to its own chapter, or element, of the general plan, however, general plans may be "adopted in any format deemed appropriate or convenient by the legislative body, including the combining of elements" (Government Code Section 65301). Some elements like the land use element encompass a number of planning issues while others, such as the noise element, address a more specific topic. Because conditions are likely to vary from community to community, the relevance and importance of each issue are likely to differ as well.

1.4 SCOPE OF THE GENERAL PLAN
Since general plans affect current and future generations, state law requires general plans to take a "long-term" perspective, typically 10 to 20 years into the future. This General Plan addresses planning for Montague through the year 2045. Some issues, however, are of such importance to the community and the State that certain elements must be reviewed and updated regularly. In particular, the Housing Element must be updated every eight years, the Safety Element is required to be updated following updates to the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (i.e., typically every five years), and the Land Use Element is to be revisited annually and updated, as needed, in response to changes to flood hazard maps. In addition, the City may determine in the future that, due to changing circumstances and opportunities, various amendments or a comprehensive revision of the General Plan may be warranted prior to 2045.

1.5 USE OF THE GENERAL PLAN
The City of Montague General Plan is intended to serve as a tool to assist the Planning Commission, City Council, staff, and other city commissions and committees in their decision- making and when formulating and implementing community guidelines and policies. It is further intended to:
• Provide guidance on long-range development issues;
• Provide consistent city policy and direction over the life of the General Plan; • Allow public agencies and private parties to design their projects consistent with city objectives;
• Provide a basis for judging whether development proposals and public works projects are in harmony with the City's long-range goals; and
2 Cities and counties that have "disadvantaged communities," as defined in Government Code Section 65302(h)(4)(a), are also required to address environmental justice concerns in their general plans. There are no "disadvantaged communities" within the City of Montague's planning area.

City of Montague General Plan 1.0 Introduction
1-2
• Facilitate agreement among different agencies as projects are proposed in the unincorporated portions of the City's planning area.

While the State-mandated general plan requirements emphasize planning for the physical development of the City, the General Plan also endeavors to support the social and economic well-being of city residents and businesses. As such, in developing the General Plan's goals policies, and programs, attention has been given to the effect they may have on Montague's households, its businesses, to future employment opportunities in the community, and to the City's costs and revenues. When utilizing the General Plan, it is important that such interests continue to be evaluated and weighed as part of the City's decision-making process.

1.6 RELATION TO THE ZONING CODE
he Citv's General Plan is the foundation upon which all city land use decisions are based, and the Zoning Code is required by state law to be consistent with it. The General Plan's land use classifications, as outlined in the Land Use Element, are related to the City's zoning districts, but they serve separate purposes. For instance, more than one zoning district can occur within a single land use classification provided the densities and unit types allowed in each zoning district are consistent with the larger land use classification. Boundaries of land use classifications depicted on the Land Use Map may also be more generalized, while zoning boundaries are intended to be precise and parcel specific.

Because general plans are long-range planning documents, they are also broader in scope than zoning regulations, which are more detailed and include development standards not included in the general plan (e.g., minimum setbacks, building height limits, off-street parking requirements, sign restrictions, etc.). Those standards, however, must still be consistent with and support implementation of the General Pan. Where there are inconsistencies between a city's general plan and its zoning ordinance, state law allows a "reasonable time" for reconciling these differences following a general plan update. The City anticipates that any inconsistencies between the General Plan and Zoning Code will be addressed within the first two years following adoption of the General Plan update.

1.7 RELATION TO THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE
The California Government Code specifies that cities must not approve a proposed subdivision or parcel map unless the project, including its design and proposed improvements, is consistent with the General Plan. The City is required to deny approval of any tentative or final subdivision maps not consistent with the goals, policies, and programs of the General Plan.

1.8 CONTENT OF THE GENERAL PLAN ELEMENTS
Each element of the General Plan contains: 1) a statement concerning the legal basis for the element; 2) a brief narrative of background issues to provide context for the topics being addressed; and 3) goals, policies, and/or programs to address the issues identified. 3 In developing both the City's Land Use Map and Zoning Map, the City utilized information developed by City of Montague General Plan 1.0 Introduction
1-3
State planning law stipulates that specific background information be adopted for certain elements (e.g., Housing Elements and Safety Elements) as part of each general plan. Background information supporting the other elements may be adopted by reference or summarized, but it should be readily available to the decision-makers and citizens alike. Local hazard mitigation plans, for instance, are normally adopted by reference as part of a general plan's safety element The following terms apply within this General Plan:

Goal: A declaration of the ideal future state of the community with regard to the issue being addressed (e.g., "An economically vibrant downtown").

Policy: A specific statement that guides decision-making. It is based on and helps to achieve a goal (e.g., "The City offers a variety of incentives to retain and attract businesses to the downtown, including low interest loans and fee waivers."). For a policy to be useful, it should be clear and unambiguous.

Program: A measure or action that the City intends to take to support and/or carry out a policy of the General Plan (e.g., Apply for CDBG economic development funds to support business retention and development along Main Street"). It has been observed that a few well- conceived measures will usually accomplish more than a long list of possibilities.

1.9 MONTAGUE GENERAL PLAN HISTORY
The City of Montague's first general plan was adopted in 1978. Because of changing conditions and a desire to maintain a long-range plan for the community, the City updated the general plan in 1989. In addition, regularly scheduled updates to the Housing Element were made by the City as required by state law.

Due to the City's use of multiple planning grants with differing timelines to prepare this General Plan, the most recent update occurred in phases between 2024 and 2025. The update consisted of a comprehensive overhaul and technical update of each element of the General Plan to ensure the document meets current state requirements, represents the community's vision for itself, and provides the guidance necessary to accomplish this vision. Importantly, the General Plan was enhanced with additional background information, graphics, and diagrams to ensure the Plan remains useful well into the future.

1.10 FUTURE GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS
It should be noted that the programs in the General Plan are not intended to be exclusive. That is, the City may undertake any activities that are consistent with and further implementation of the General Plan without needing to amend the Plan. At the same time, the General Plan is a living document, and it should be updated periodically (1) as circumstances change, (2) in response to changes to state or federal law, or (3) to modify policies that may become obsolete or unrealistic over time. For example, each year the City prepares a general plan annual progress report in accordance with Government Code Section 65400 that is presented to the City Council for review and acceptance prior to submittal to the State. The general plan annual progress report serves as a useful opportunity for the City to reflect upon the goals, policies, and programs contained in the General Plan to better assess where the City has been successful in meeting its objectives, where it could possibly do better, and if applicable, where changes to the General Plan or direction of the City should occur. At times like these, the City may identify the need for new programs or City of Montague General Plan 1.0 Introduction
1-4
changes to existing programs that were not anticipated at the time the General Plan was adopted.

The fact that these measures were not identified prior to the Plan's adoption does not make them inconsistent with it. The critical test for the inclusion of new or amended goals, policies, and programs is whether the changes are consistent with the remainder of the General Plan.

While the City anticipates little need for regular amendments to the General Plan, amendments to the General Plan may be made up to four times a year, and each amendment may include more than one change to the Plan. Minor changes or updates to background information that do not affect land use classifications or adopted goals, policies, or programs are not considered General Plan amendments.

1.11 KEY PLANNING STRATEGIES
The key planning strategies used in the development of the General Plan are:

Compact Growth. The General Plan seeks to achieve the City's growth needs for the current planning period entirely within the existing city limits. Thus, the Plan emphasizes mixed-use development in centrally located areas of the City, infill development, and redevelopment of distressed and underutilized properties.

Downtown Revitalization. The General Plan seeks to encourage a broad array of retail, professional, entertainment, residential, social, civic, and other uses that contribute to a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly environment in centrally located areas of the City through the introduction of a mixed use land use classification that provides for a compatible mixture of residential and nonresidential uses.

Accessible and Walkable City. The General Plan emphasizes a balanced, multimodal transportation system that includes expansion of the existing walking and bicycling network, and improved access to public transit and paratransit.

Diversity of Housing Choices. The General Plan provides for a wider range of housing types than previously permitted by right in the City, as well as areas of mixed-use development to facilitate production of a range of housing types to meet the needs of people of all incomes, abilities, and stages of life, with a focus on affordable housing and improved access to economic opportunities.

Preservation of Natural Resources. The General Plan introduces a Natural Resources Constraints map to help guide and assure a sensitive form of development that protects identified natural resources, preserves biodiversity and important natural habitats, and reduces hazards due to flooding.

Preparation, Adaptation, and Resiliency. The General Plan seeks to prepare for and protect the City and its residents from potential hazards, in part through the Plan's strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and through programs that better prepare the community for natural hazards and the effects of climate change.

City of Montague General Plan 2.0 Land Use Element

2.1 INTRODUCTION
The Land Use Element of the General Plan has the broadest scope of all seven required elements. he Land Use Element incorporates the issues, opportunities, and constraints identified throughout the General Plan in an effort to balance them with the community's goals for its future development. Together the Land Use Element and the Land Use Map designate the planned location, distribution, and extent of land uses to shape the future physical development of the community. The Land Use Element sets forth specific goals, policies, and programs to guide land use for the City of Montague through 2045.

2.2 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS
The Land Use Element is one of seven state-mandated elements of the General Plan.

Specifically, California Government Code Section 65302(a) requires that a city's general plan include:

A land use element that designates the proposed general distribution and general location and extent of the uses of the land for housing, business, industry, open space, including agriculture, natural resources, recreation, and enjoyment of scenic beauty, education, public buildings and grounds, solid and liquid waste disposal facilities, greenways, ... and other categories of public and private uses of land... The land use element shall include a statement of the standards of population density and building intensity recommended for the various districts and other territory covered by the plan.

Also, while certain land uses may be expressed generally, property owners must be able to identify their property's land use classification on a general plan's land use diagram.

2.3 POPULATION TRENDS
Population projections play an important role in the formulation of land use plans. The distribution and extent of land use classifications, including the need for supporting public facilities and services, is largely based on the expected demands of the projected population. And while population projections are based on assumptions about future demographic trends, they are informed through changes in population from past to present.

2.3.1 Population Past to Present
In 1887, three local ranchers deeded
half sections of land to a subsidiary of
the Central Pacific Railroad to
establish a new townsite adjacent to
the railroad that was being developed
at the time through Siskiyou County to
link San Francisco with Portland. The
new town was named in honor of
Samuel S. Montague, the man who
engineered the railroad through MONTAGUE
Siskiyou County (among other notable
accomplishments). Once the railroad
Figure 2-1, Montague Train Depot (1912)

2-1
was completed, parcels in Montague were soon being auctioned off, cattle corrals were constructed, and the town developed into an important shipping center for the region, with ranchers driving their livestock to Montague from as far away as the Butte Valley to ship them to market. Montague became officially incorporated as a city on January 25, 1907. By the time of the City's first census in 1910, the population had grown to 274. Montague's population at the time of each decennial census since then is shown in Figure 2-2 below.

Source: Department of Finance, Historical Census Populations: 1850-2020 As shown in Figure 2-2, population growth in Montague was steady from the City's beginning until the 1930s when most of the commercial rail activity was diverted northeast through the Butte Valley. The population declined briefly in response before rebounding with three decades of moderate growth and a period of rapid growth in the 1970s. Shortly after that, however, Montague's growth abruptly slowed and there was little change in the City's population over the next two decades. By 2010, the growth had turned into a decline. It is an unfortunate trend that has continued into 2024 and is likely to continue into the foreseeable future. Other cities in Siskiyou County and throughout the region have experienced similar losses, all largely due to the mass closure of lumber mills in the 1980s and 1990s and the slow evolution of the region's resource-based economy. With the resultant impacts to the economy, many younger persons and families relocated. The average age of Montague's population is now older and there are typically fewer persons per household as a result. Changes in population, age, and household size since 1990 are reflected in greater detail in Table 2-1 below.

Table 2-1

5090202.. Census Bureau Decennial Census of Population and Housing City of Montague General Plan 2.0 Land Use Element
2-2
As shown in Table 2-1, the U.S. Census Bureau estimates that there were 230 fewer people living in Montague in 2020 than there were 20 years prior. This is equivalent to a population loss of approximately 15.8 percent over the 20-year period and an annual loss of approximately 0.85 percent. Most recently in 2024, the California Department of Finance estimated the City's population to be 1,199.

2.3.2 Population Projections
Making population projections over the next 20 years is difficult when dealing with a population base as small as that of Montague, and the State does not publish projections. Nevertheless, the California Department of Finance projects that the population of Siskiyou County as a whole will decrease by approximately 9.2 percent between 2020 and 2045. This is equivalent to an annual population loss of 0.267 percent. Should the projected population loss be experienced equally throughout the County, it would result in 69 fewer residents in Montague by the end of the planning period.

It is evident that the population growth that occurred in the past is unlikely to return without economic recovery. Nevertheless, Montague remains an attractive place for families and retired persons seeking a rural, small-town lifestyle. The City's proximity to the railroad, airports, and the interstate also make it an attractive community for new businesses. Should the region's economy recover from recent losses, Montague could easily experience renewed growth and the City has ample vacant land to accommodate it. The addition of a small apartment complex or new subdivision could also attract new residents, potentially adding 30 to 50 people to the community within a few years. Such changes are possible given the strong demand for housing, despite the shortage of better-paying jobs in the region.

For the reasons noted above, Table 2-2 below projects two growth rates. The "positive" projection assumes a 0.95 percent annual growth rate over the planning period, while the "negative" projection assumes a 0.75 percent annual decrease. Based on the City's historical growth rates and recognizing current economic conditions in the region, a 0.95 percent annual growth rate may not be reflective of actual future growth potential. However, planning for a slightly higher growth rate ensures that the City can accommodate the development should economic conditions in the region improve, and it helps to ensure the availability of land to accommodate future growth.

Table 2-2
City of Montague Population Projections: 2020-2045

0.95% Annual 0.75% Annual
Year
Growth Decrease
2020 1,226 1,226
2025 1,285 1,181
2030 1,348 1,137
2035 1,413 1,095
2040 1,481 1,055
2045 1,553 1,016
Over the planning period, the "positive" projection results in a population increase of 23.8 percent, or 292 persons, and the "negative" projection results in a decrease of 17.1 percent, or 210 persons. While it is reasonable to expect the population to increase or decrease within this range, City of Montague General Plan 2.0 Land Use Element
2-3
for the reasons previously noted, making projections over the next 20 years is difficult at best.

Nevertheless, under the "positive" growth projection above, the population of Montague would rebound to previous levels such that the City's existing infrastructure should be able to accommodate much of the community's foreseeable development needs. However, should positive population growth occur at a significantly faster rate than noted above, the City will want to review the General Plan to determine if amendments to the Plan may be needed to accommodate the greater population and the effects of accelerated growth. Should the population continue its decline, additional sources of funding will eventually be required to maintain the level of service provided by the City and expected by its residents.

2.4 LAND USE CLASSIFICATIONS
The City of Montague provides a range of land use classifications to meet the needs of the community, including various types of residential, mixed-use, commercial, industrial, public, and open space. For each land use classification, this section includes representative images, typical uses, residential density ranges, and building intensities.

2.4.1 Residential Land Uses
It is estimated there are 243.4 acres in Montague developed with residential uses, 73.5 net acres of vacant residential land with access to city utilities that can readily accommodate development, and another 119.2 acres of vacant residential land that presently lack city utilities. Residential uses in the City of Montague consist predominantly of single-family dwellings. The California Department of Finance estimates that these units comprise approximately 65.6 percent of the City's total housing stock in 2024. Single-family dwellings are followed by multifamily dwellings, which comprise approximately 18.9 percent of the housing stock, and mobile homes, which comprise approximately 15.4 percent of the housing stock. Single-family dwellings are distributed throughout Montague east of the airport, and roughly half of the multifamily dwellings are in four small apartment complexes with the other half scattered throughout the community in duplexes and triplexes. Although permitted in all zoning districts that allow single-family dwellings, most of the mobile homes are located in two manufactured home parks south of W. Scobie Street.

Residential uses in the City of Montague are predominantly located in the following residential land use classifications:

Rural Residential
The Rural Residential (RR) land use
classification is suitable for those areas of
the City that lack city water and/or
wastewater service. These areas support
very low density residential development
(i.e., single-family dwellings) and limited,
compatible agricultural uses on larger
parcels accessed via publicly maintained
roadways. Roadways are not typically
fully developed to city standards.

Compatible agricultural uses include, but
are not limited to, pasturing of livestock
and the raising of crops provided there is
no use of municipal water supplies for Figure 2-3, Rural Residential feed or irrigation.

City of Montague General Plan 2.0 Land Use Element
2-4
Low Density Residential
The Low Density Residential (LDR) land
use classification is suitable for those
areas of Montague developed with
and/or capable of supporting low density
residential development and limited
compatible nonresidential uses. Typical
uses in the LDR land use classification
include, but are not limited to, single-
family dwellings, accessory dwelling
units, home occupations, childcares,
and places of worship and spiritual
assembly. Figure 2-4, Low Density Residential
Medium Density Residential
The Medium Density Residential (MDR)
land use classification is suitable for
those areas of the City developed with
and/or capable of supporting either low
density or medium density residential
development and limited, compatible
nonresidential uses. Typical uses in the
MDR land use classification include
those uses described above in the LDR
land use classification as well as small
multifamily dwellings, such as duplexes
and triplexes. Figure 2-5, Medium Density Residential
High Density Residential
The High Density Residential (HDR)
land use classification is suitable for
those areas of the City developed with
and/or capable of supporting low, me-
dium, and high density residential devel-
opment and compatible nonresidential
uses. Typical uses within the HDR land
use classification include those uses
described above in the LDR and MDR
land use classifications, as well as
apartment complexes, manufactured
home parks, and community gardens. Figure 2-6, High Density Residential More details on the housing stock are provided in the Housing Element of this General Plan.

2.4.2 Mixed-Use Land Uses
The City historically has had two primary "commercial" areas. The first stretches through the center of town along S. 11 Street and N. 11' Street and the other runs a short distance along E.

Webb Street. Both areas include a combination of residential and nonresidential uses in close proximity to one another. Several properties in each area are vacant or underutilized and the City desires to promote infill development and redevelopment of the properties with a combination of residential and nonresidential uses, in part through the introduction of a mixed-use land use classification that has been applied to these areas. Due to the number of residential uses established in the historically "commercial" areas, the mixed-use land use classification more appropriately reflects development and land use patterns in the areas it is applied to, and it provides for continued integration of compatible residential and nonresidential uses in these areas. Furthermore, by providing for mixed-use neighborhoods and revitalization of the town center through infill development policies, the Land Use Element works in concert with the Circulation Element to reduce the transportation needs and Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) of residents and businesses alike.

Mixed Use
The Mixed Use (MU) land use classification provides for a compatible mixture of residential and nonresidential uses in centrally located areas of the City to encourage a broad array of retail, professional, entertainment, residential, social, civic, and other uses that contribute to a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly environment. The
intent of the Mixed Use land use
classification is to promote economic in-
vestment, redevelopment, and revitali-
zation; improve access to housing, jobs,
services, open space, and other desti-
nations through non-vehicular transit
modes; encourage a compact urban
form; and safeguard the character of
existing neighborhoods. To implement
the Mixed Use land use classification,
the City has established two mixed-use
zoning districts that provide for different
Figure 2-7, Vertical Mixed Use - Residential Above
types of mixed use. Commercial
In areas developed predominantly with
nonresidential uses and classified Mixed
Use, such as in the historic town center,
the zoning typically limits residential
uses to live-work units and/or units on
the upper floors (i.e., vertical mixed use)
to preserve the commercial core function
of these areas. Elsewhere in the MU,
where residential and nonresidential
uses have traditionally comingled on
adjacent lots and/or on the same parcel
(i.e., horizontal mixed use), the zoning
permits both horizontal mixed use and Figure 2-8, Horizontal Mixed Use - Adjacent Commercial vertical mixed use development. and Residential
City of Montague General Plan 2.0 Land Use Element
2-6
Typical land uses in the Mixed Use land use classification include single-family and multifamily residential, restaurants, retail sales, offices, banks, personal services, hotels and motels, entertainment facilities, grocery stores, public and quasi-public uses, community gardens, parks, places of worship and religious assembly, and similar non-residential uses.

2.4.3 Nonresidential and Other Land Uses
Nonresidential lands (i.e., properties designated for commercial, industrial, open space, and public facilities) and previously unclassified lands suitable for redevelopment upon approval of a development plan or specific plan comprise roughly 492 acres, or approximately 44.3 percent of the City's total land area. Nonresidential uses in the City are predominantly located in the following land use classifications:

Commercial
The Commercial (C) land use classification provides for nonresidential uses, including "heavier" commercial uses than typically considered compatible with residential use. For this reason, proposed residential uses in the Commercial land use classification are subject to Planning Commission approval. Although the "heavier" uses provided for in the Commercial land use classification are generally automobile
oriented, the Commercial land use
classification provides for a variety of
commercial uses, including uses capable
of generating and sustaining local, non-
vehicular traffic. As such, development of
these areas should include sidewalks,
bicycle facilities, and interconnected
parking lots and pedestrian walkways,
where appropriate. Typical land uses in
the Commercial land use classification
include automobile service stations,
banks, business and personal services,
entertainment facilities, business and

sales, wholesale businesses, and similar
nonresidential uses.

Manufacturing
Due to the rural nature of Montague, it is
unlikely there will be significant demand
for conventional industrial development.

Nevertheless, the City's abundant supply
of developable industrial land and nearby
railroad, airport, and highway access will
continue to be attractive to businesses
that support the region's agriculture and
timber industries as well as to retail and Figure 2-10, Manufacturing wholesale businesses in general. Typical
uses in the Manufacturing (M) land use classification include service stations, metal products fabrication, equipment sales and rental, and storage facilities. Because some manufacturing uses City of Montague General Plan 2.0 Land Use Element
2-7
require a large amount of area for outdoor operations and storage and/or generate impacts to surrounding parcels and uses in terms of noise, vibrations, glare, dust, and emissions, Planning commission approval of the more intensive land uses is required.

Public Agency
The Public Agency (PA) land use classification is intended for larger properties developed with publicly owned and operated facilities, such as Montague-Yreka Rohrer Airfield, Montague Elementary School, the City's water treatment and wastewater treatment plants, the public works yard, and the City Hall, Park, Pool, and
Library parcels. In addition, the PA land
use classification provides for quasi-
public facilities, such as the Pacific
Power electrical substation on Old
Montague Road. Other city parks and
recreation areas and public facilities
developed on smaller parcels are
provided for separately in other land use
classifications.' Periodic and intermittent
uses, such as farmers' markets, special
events, concessions, and similar uses
occur within the Public Agency land use
classification with City approval.

Figure 2-11, Public Agency
Open Space
The Open Space (OS) land use
classification is comprised of public
lands that provide active and passive
recreational opportunities and/or that
should be preserved in a natural state for
purposes of resource or flood protection.

These areas buffer land uses, provide
relief from urbanization, and are an
important recreational, cultural, and
visual resource for the community.

Typical uses in the Open Space land use
classification include parks and
recreation areas, public facilities, Figure 2-12, Open Space resources,
recreation-related facilities. Periodic and intermittent uses, such as farmers' markets, special events, concessions, and similar uses may also occur within the Open Space land use classification with City approval. Properties included in the Open Space land use classification include Railroad Park, Hoag Park, Diggle Field, and the Montague Rodeo Grounds. As noted above, City Park and the Community Pool are provided for in the Public Agency land use classification.
' Because of their importance to the community, Figure 2-13 illustrates the location of all public and quasi- public facilities in Montague separate from the underlying land use classifications. Known flood hazards are also shown to assist in planning for the expansion or relocation of these essential public facilities.

City of Montague General Plan 2.0 Land Use Element

Planned Development
The Planned Development (PD) land use classification is intended to enable and encourage flexibility of design and development of land in such a manner as to promote its most appropriate use. Prior to development of properties classified as PD, projects are subject to approval of a Development Plan or Specific Plan that, when approved, is incorporated into a planned development ordinance for the site. Approved development plans and related planned development ordinances for particular sites specify the appropriate development standards, code regulations, and performance standards to be applied to development of the sites.

2.4.4 Density and Intensity Standards
The term density in a land use context generally refers to the residential development capacity of the land. Residential density is expressed in terms of dwelling units per acre (du/ac). A dwelling unit is a building or part of a building used for human habitation. This can vary greatly in size from a live work unit to a multifamily apartment to a larger single-family dwelling. For example, the density of a residential development with 24 duplexes on three gross acres of land is 8.0 du/ac.

Population densities, however, are not absolute limits.

Land use intensity is used to refer to the amount of development allowed on a given parcel of land. Land use intensity can be expressed in different metrics. For the purposes of the Land Use Element, land use intensity is defined by lot coverage, which is the percentage of a lot covered by development, excluding areas designated for parking, landscaping, etc. Lot coverage does not regulate building placement or form, only the spatial relationship between building size and lot size; it represents an expectation of the overall intensity of future development.

The maximums assigned to the land use classifications below do not constitute entitlements, nor are property owners or developers guaranteed that an individual project, when evaluated against General Plan policies, will achieve these maximums. The density and intensity metrics establish a maximum development envelope or density range under appropriate conditions. Many factors, such as applicable zoning standards, state regulations, physical site conditions, and owner or developer choices may impact the final project design and overall density and intensity of development in addition to this Plan. In particular, it should be noted that state regulations allow specified land uses to exceed maximums established by the City or to provide for density averaging.

2.4.5 Land Use Map
The land use classifications described above are largely consistent with the general distribution, location, and extent of the various land uses they provide for, as shown on the Land Use Map (Figure 2-14) below.

2.4.6 Land Use and Zoning Consistency
The land use classifications described above provide a broad description of development expectations within the City of Montague. To implement these designations and provide more guidance for property owners, Table 2-4 identifies those zoning districts that correspond with the land use classifications. While land use and zoning are related, they serve separate functions.

Whereas land use classifications describe the general types of land use that can occur subject to density and intensity limitations, zoning regulates the specific types of uses that can occur subject to density and intensity limitations, additional development standards (e.g., height limits, setbacks, parking requirements, etc.), and for some types of projects, conditions of approval.

The zoning districts in Table 2-4 are not exclusive, and zoning districts of similar nature may also be adopted and used in conformance with the General Plan. Zoning is a legislative act and can be amended within the parameters established by the land use classification. For example, when the City Council adopts a Planned Development ordinance for a specific project area or changes the mixed-use zoning of property consistent with density and intensity limits for the larger land use classification.

2.5 SPHERE OF INFLUENCE
In accordance with state law, the Siskiyou Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) has established a Sphere of Influence for the City of Montague (see Figure 2-15). The Sphere of Influence includes approximately 681 acres of land outside city limits and is intended to provide room for future expansion of the City when needed. Because lands within the Sphere of Influence are potentially critical to the City's ability to expand, the County of Siskiyou Planning Department refers development requests within the Sphere of Influence to the City for review and comment prior to the County taking action on those requests.

Most of Montague's Sphere of Influence consists of non-prime agricultural land and pockets of prime agricultural land lying south, east, and northeast of the City. Montague is now and has always been a city that values, supports, and complements the agricultural community that surrounds it. Due to the City's location in an area of prime and non-prime agricultural soils, any outward expansion of the City will almost certainly transition the use of land from agriculture to urban development. As a result, the City wishes to pay particular attention to issues of land use compatibility and to ensure that new development minimizes the impacts of growth on the agricultural community that has supported Montague since its beginnings. Through the use of land use buffers and transitions, sensible design, and a planned and methodical pattern of expansion, the impacts to surrounding agriculture can be minimized Should the area outside of the City be annexed and connected to city water and sewer, it could accommodate more than 2,383 single-family dwellings at an average of 3½ dwelling units per acre. Were there demand for this quantity of housing, it would increase the population of Montague by roughly 5,790 persons at build out. Multifamily housing would clearly accommodate significantly more. Relatively few topographic constraints exist, and access could readily be developed by extending existing roadways and developing new streets to interconnect them.

The County of Siskiyou currently regulates land use in the City's Sphere of Influence. As discussed above, most of the land in this area is zoned to accommodate agricultural activity. In accordance with Government Code Section 65859, the City may pre-zone the unincorporated area in the Sphere of Influence or zone the land upon annexation consistent with the General City of Montague General Plan 2.0 Land Use Element
2-11
Plan. The City General Plan Land Use Map does not propose land uses within the Sphere of Influence. Rather, the City of Montague Zoning Code states that "Territory annexed to the city and not shown as part of the city by the zoning map... shall upon the effective date of such annexation be classified and zoned as Low Density Residential (R-1), unless the city council has prior to such effective date zoned said territory to another classification, subject to annexation." Annexation requests within the Sphere of Influence are initiated by the City at the request of those land owners who wish to obtain city services so that they can develop their land with urban uses.

Annexation proposals must be evaluated carefully, taking care to ensure that the annexation and future service needs will not become a burden to the City. For this reason, the annexation process requires that the cost of providing services to the annexed territory be fully disclosed. The City's most recent annexation was a 25.9-acre addition annexed in 1976 for the City's water treatment plant. Due to the abundant supply of vacant land in Montague and limited development pressure within and adjacent to the City over the past 30-plus years, there have been no annexation proposals since then.

2.6 DISADVANTAGED UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITIES
In accordance with Senate Bill 244 (2011), the Land Use Element must address any disadvantaged unincorporated communities located within the City or its sphere of influence. For the purposes of SB 244, a "community" is defined as an inhabited area within a city or county that is comprised of no less than 10 dwellings adjacent or in close proximity to one another, and a "disadvantaged unincorporated community," or DUC, is defined as a fringe, island, or legacy community in which the median household income is 80 percent or less than the statewide median household income. The three types of DUCs are further defined as follows: "fringe community" means any inhabited and unincorporated territory that is within a city's sphere of influence; "island community" means any inhabited and unincorporated territory that is surrounded or substantially surrounded by one or more cities or by one or more cities and a county boundary or the Pacific Ocean; and a "legacy community" means a geographically isolated community that is inhabited and has existed for at least 50 years. SB 244 defines "inhabited territory" as an area where 12 or more registered voters reside (Government Code Section 56046); however, LAFCOs may also redefine "inhabited area" as determined by local commission policy.

When DUCs are present, cities must address fringe communities and island communities in their land use elements, and counties must address legacy communities in theirs. In particular, the city or county's land use element must address the sewer, water, storm drain, and structural fire protection service needs or deficiencies of the DUC and provide an analysis of potential funding mechanisms that could make the extension of services to the identified communities financially feasible.

The presence of DUCs within the City's planning area would be of importance at the time LAFCo amends Montague's sphere of influence and when annexing territory into the City. SB 244 requires that any city annexation proposal greater than 10 acres, or as determined by LAFCo policy, that is contiguous to a DUC cannot be approved without a companion annexation of the DUC unless a prior application for annexation of the same DUC area was received in the prior five years or LAFCo finds, based upon written evidence, that a majority of the residents within the DUC are opposed to annexation. It also requires that, for an update of a sphere of influence for a city or special district that provides public facilities and/or services for sewers, municipal and industrial water, or structural fire on or after July 1, 2012, a written statement of the present and probable need for those services within the DUC must be reviewed and considered by LAFCo.

2.6.1 Disadvantaged Unincorporated Community Analysis
DUCs may lack basic infrastructure, such as sewer, water, or stormwater drainage, because they may have been developed prior to infrastructure being installed in proximity to them. Therefore, to promote equality and environmental justice in accordance with SB 244, the proximity of any potential "community" to the City was analyzed to determine if any such community exists and whether an analysis of the water, wastewater, stormwater drainage, and structural fire protection needs or deficiencies of the community should be prepared. The City's analysis was based on American Community Survey 2023 median household data developed by the U.S. Census Bureau, a review of Census Designated Places and Census Block Groups,? an understanding of the community and surrounding area, the general distribution, location, and extent of existing and proposed infrastructure, and aerial photographs.
influence, the City identified 36 parcels and 36 residences in five clusters surrounding the City (see areas A, B, C, D, and E on Figure 2-16). Each cluster was assessed relative to the number of dwellings, registered voters, and residentially developed parcels within it. The neighborhood density of the residentially developed parcels in each cluster was then calculated using PolicyLink methodology to evaluate proximity of dwellings to one another.* The City's findings are summarized in Table 2-5 below.

Table 2-5

B 105.1 Yes No No No. No

44.5 Yes No No No No
D 51.0 Yes Yes No Yes No
E 78.8 Yes No No No No
As shown on Figure 2-16 and Table 2-5 above, it was determined through the City's analysis that there are no inhabited, unincorporated territories surrounded by or substantially surrounded by the City (i.e., no island communities), nor are there any inhabited and unincorporated territories within Montague's sphere of influence (i.e. no fringe communities).

Because none of the residential clusters surrounding the City met all of the criteria for a DUC, the City is not required to prepare an assessment of the service needs of the residents within these areas. However, conditions may change in the future such that an update of the Land Use 2 There are no Census Designated Places in the sphere of influence. The three Census Block Groups that comprise the City and its sphere of influence, while larger in area larger than the potential "communities" being assessed, provided the necessary Median Household Income data. 3 In 2023, the Statewide Median Household Income was $95,521 (80% = $76,147). 4 Consistent with the methodology used by the Siskiyou Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo), the City utilized the methodology in PolicyLink's 2013 "California Unincorporated: Mapping Disadvantaged Communities in the San Joaquin Valley Technical Guide" to evaluate neighborhood density.

City of Montague General Plan 2.0 Land Use Element
2-13
Element could become necessary to address and plan for the extension of services outside city limits. Furthermore, even though no assessment is required at this time, it should be noted that there are no known service deficiencies within the sphere of influence. Developed parcels in the sphere of influence are served by individual well and septic systems, and as discussed in the Safety Element, the Montague Fire Protection District currently provides structural fire protection services to the area. While the unincorporated parcels lack complete storm drainage improvements (they are served by a series of ditches and culverts), the City similarly lacks curb and gutter throughout most of the City, and the unincorporated properties are typically larger than city lots and more capable of accommodating stormwater.

2.6.2 Potential Infrastructure Funding Sources
Although the City is not required to provide an analysis of potential funding mechanisms that could make the extension of services outside city limits financially feasible, many of the funding sources available for extending infrastructure outside the City are the same sources that are available for developing infrastructure inside the City. For that reason, Table 2-6 summarizes the funding programs that may be available to the City for infrastructure development and is included as a resource.

2.7 CORRELATION WITH OTHER GENERAL PLAN ELEMENTS
The Land Use Element is often the most visible and frequently used element in the General Plan because it incorporates the issues, opportunities, and constraints identified throughout the General Plan and renders them into a comprehensive set of land use policies and a concise land use diagram. However, it is important to review all relevant goals, policies, and programs of the General Plan when evaluating discretionary projects, actions, and activities to ensure City decisions are consistent with and further the General Plan. For instance, a project proposed near the railroad may be affected by transportation noise and be subject to the noise mitigation standards in the Noise Element, or if proposed adjacent to agricultural lands, the project may be subject to policies in the Open Space & Conservation Element.

The correlation between the Circulation Element and Land Use Element is especially important to the development of the City. This is because the City of Montague endeavors to maintain its small-town character through sound planning, orderly growth, and good design that recognizes the City's compact, grid-based urban form. The City's compact form enhances non-vehicular circulation opportunities and supports the circulation system. Should Montague grow from a small city of under 1,200 people to become a city significantly larger than its current size, the movement of people in and around the City will become increasingly important. Streets will need to be designed to facilitate additional modes of travel, and transit options expanded to better serve the needs of the population. Land use and transportation planning will need to go hand in hand to ensure transportation decisions and infrastructure are an integral component of the City's growth.

Additionally, although the information contained in the maps and diagrams throughout the General Plan has been incorporated into the policies and land use map contained herein, the maps and diagrams in the other elements should be referenced directly, the information they contain periodically reviewed, and the maps and diagrams updated as needed. When this occurs, the Land Use Element and Land Use Map should be evaluated and updated as necessary. This is particularly the case with changes to maps in the Open Space & Conservation Element and Safety Element showing the extent of Oregon Slu's 100-year and 500-year floodplains and fire hazard severity zones within and adjacent to the City.

2.8 CORRELATION WITH AIRPORT LAND USE COMPATIBILITY PLAN The Siskiyou County Airport Land Use Commission adopted the Siskiyou County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) in July 2001. The basic function of the ALUCP is to promote compatibility between the airports in Siskiyou County and the land uses that surround them. One of the seven airports addressed in the plan is the "Montague-Yreka Rohrer Airfield." The ALUCP was adopted by the Siskiyou County Airport Land Use Commission as a tool in fulfilling its duties to review land use proposals at public airports and on land adjacent to those airports. The plan also sets compatibility criteria applicable to local agencies in their preparation or amendment of land use plans and ordinances, and to landowners in their design of development proposals.

In brief, California statutes (Public Utility Code Sections 21670 et seq.) give county airport land use commissions (ALUCs) two principal powers. First, ALUCs must prepare and adopt an airport land use plan for public airports in their jurisdiction, and secondly, they are responsible for reviewing plans, regulations, and other actions of local agencies and airport operators for consistency with that plan. Current law emphasizes local general plans as the primary mechanism City of Montague General Plan 2.0 Land Use Element
2-16
for implementing the compatibility policies set forth in an airport land use plan. The county and each affected city is required to make its general plan consistent with the ALUC's plan or, if in disagreement, systematically override the commission's plan. Further, a local agency must take this action within 180 days of when the ALUC adopts or amends its plan.

The Siskiyou County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan, as it applies to the Montague-Yreka Rohrer Airfield, addresses land use issues outside and around the airport for the purpose of minimizing the public's exposure to excessive noise and safety hazards while also ensuring the continued ability of the airport to operate and expand in the future.

As described in ALUCP Section 2.4, Review Criteria for Land Use Actions, the primary criteria for assessing whether a land use plan, ordinance, or development proposal is compatible with a nearby airport are set forth in the ALUCP's Primary Compatibility Criteria matrix, Table 2A. These criteria are to be used in conjunction with the compatibility map and policies tor each airport as presented in ALUCP Chapter 3. The ALUCP includes a Compatibility Map for the Montague- Yreka Rohrer Airfield. This figure is reproduced below as Figure 2-17.

Appendix G of the ALUCP includes an initial review of the land use policies of each jurisdiction affected by that plan; namely, the County of Siskiyou and the cities of Montague and Dunsmuir.

As described in the ALUCP, the emphasis in such a review would typically be on comparing adopted general plan land use designations with the compatibility zone criteria set forth in the ALUCP. However, according to the plan, since these jurisdictions rely more on zoning than their general plans as the basis for determining which types of land uses are allowed in a given location, Appendix G provides a review of the consistency between zoning designations and the ALUCP criteria. In the discussion of "Individual Airport Environs" (pg. G-4), the ALUCP includes the following assessment concerning the Montague-Yreka Rohrer Airfield (refer to Figure 2-17 for the location of the zones):

The only direct conflicts identified between the city's plans and the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan criteria involve two locations zoned for low-density residential uses:

Several existing residential parcels along Old Montague Road southeast of the airport are situated within Zone Band Zone C1. The Compatibility Plan permits development of these parcels, but lot splits would be precluded by the plan's 5- and 2½-acre minimum lot size requirement in these zones. • All or part of several parcels east of the airport along the approach corridor for the unpaved runway lie within Zone Band Zone C1. Any future subdividing of this property is limited by the respective 5- and 2½-acre minimum parcel size requirement of these compatibility zones.

Other compatibility concerns are similar to those general issues described above for Siskiyou Count zoning. Specifically, development on lands zoned for industrial use must comply with the intensity limitations set forth in Table 2A of the Compatibility Plan. These limitations are unlikely to be a significant development factor except in critical locations closest to the runways.

It is not practical to quote all of the provisions of the ALUCP that may be relevant to the Montague General Plan and subsequent consideration of proposed projects by the City of Montague. The Siskiyou County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan should be consulted for a more comprehensive understanding of provisions that may be relevant.

Notes from Table 2-7:

1. Residential development should not contain more than the indicated number of dwelling units (both primary and secondary) per gross acre. With clustering, some parcels may be much smaller than others as long as the maximum overall density criterion is not exceeded.

Clustering of units is encouraged.

The land use should not attract more than the indicated number of people per gross acre at any time, except for rare special events. This figure should include all people who may be on the property (e.g. employees, customers/visitors, etc.) both indoors and outside.

Rare special events are ones (such as an air show at an airport) for which a facility is not designed and normally not used and for which extra temporary safety precautions can be taken as appropriate. These criteria are intended as general planning guidelines to aid in determining the acceptability of proposed land uses.

3. The uses listed here are ones which are explicitly prohibited regardless of whether they meet the intensity criteria, unless such prohibition is precluded by applicable state statutes.

In addition to these explicitly prohibited uses, other uses will normally not be permitted in the respective compatibility zones because they do not meet the usage intensity criteria.

4. Airport proximity and the existence of aircraft overflights should be disclosed as part of real estate transactions involving property within any of the airport influence area zones.

Easement dedication and deed notice requirements apply only to new development.

5. Hazards to flight include physical (e.g. tall objects), visual, and electronic forms of interference with the safety of aircraft operations. Land use development which may cause the attraction of birds to increase is also prohibited. See the supporting compatibility policies on airspace protection in the ALUCP for details.

6. For the purpose of these criteria, children's schools include Kindergarten through grade

7. Family day care homes (as defined by state law) are permitted in all Compatibility Zones except Zone A. Noncommercial day care centers ancillary to a place of business are permitted in Zone B and C1 provided that the overall use of the property meets the indicated intensity criteria.

8. Storage of aviation fuel, other aviation-related flammable materials, and up to 2,000 gallons of nonaviation flammable materials are exempted from this criterion is Zone B.

9. Objects 35 feet in height are permitted; however, the Federal Aviation Administration may require marking and lighting of certain objects.

17.60.010 Purpose and applicability.

The Planned Development (P-D) zoning district is intended to enable and encourage flexibility of design and development of land in such manner as to promote its most appropriate use. The P-D zoning district also allows diversification in the relationship of various uses, structures, and spaces.

Planned developments, involving the careful application of design, are encouraged to achieve a more functional, aesthetically pleasing and harmonious living and working environment within the city which otherwise might not be possible by strict adherence to the regulations of specific zoning districts. The P-D zoning district is designed to accommodate various types of developments, as shopping centers, single-family housing developments, multifamily developments, professional and administrative areas, commercial service centers and industrial parks, or any other use or combination of uses that can be made appropriately a part of a planned development.

The proposed development shall be designed to produce an environment with a stable and desirable character and shall provide standards of open space and permanently reserved areas for off-street parking adequate for the occupancy proposed, and at least equivalent to those required elsewhere by the provisions of this title for such use. In case of residential development, it should include provisions for recreation areas to meet the needs of the anticipated population.

The P-D zoning district is consistent with the Planned Development land use designation.

17.60.020 Permitted uses.

Provided there is no division of property, and subject to issuance of a building permit, business license or other required permits), the following uses, and uses which in the opinion of the Planning Commission are similar, are allowed as principally permitted uses in the P-D zoning district without the need for a planned development permit:

A. Single-family residential.

B. Supportive housing.

C. Transitional housing.

17.60.030 Accessory uses.

When established or constructed concurrently with or subsequent to the principally permitted use, the following uses are permitted in the P-D zoning district subject to issuance of a building permit, business license, or other required permit(s):

A. Accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units pursuant to Chapter 17.108 (Accessory Dwelling Units).

B. Cottage food operations and home occupations pursuant to Chapter 17.92 (Live/Work Units and Home-Based Businesses).

C. Family childcare homes.

D. Short-term rentals pursuant to Chapter 17.96 (Short-Term Rentals).

E. Signs pursuant to Chapter 17.76 (Signs).

F. Usual and customary structures associated with a principally permitted use, including fences and walls pursuant to Section 17.88.120 (Fences, walls, hedges, and equivalent screening).

17.60.040 Conditional uses.

Upon approval and validation of a conditional use permit, in addition to any other permits or licenses required for the use, the following uses are permitted in the P-D zoning district without need for a planned development permit, provided there is no division of property:

A. Bed and breakfast inns pursuant to Chapter 17.100 (Bed and Breakfast Inns).

B. Community gardens pursuant to Section 17.88.170 (Community gardens).

C. Crop and tree farming.

D. Off-site parking and shared parking facilities pursuant to Chapter 17.72 (Off-street parking).

E. Parks, picnic areas, and playgrounds.

Places of worship and spiritual assembly.

G. Private schools.

H. Public and quasi-public facilities.

1. Residential uses:

1. Group homes that provide licensable services to more than six (6) residents.

2. Multifamily residential, four (4) dwelling units or fewer.

J. Other uses similar to those listed in this section.

17.60.050 Development standards.

The standards of site area and dimensions, site coverage, yard spaces, distances between structures, off-street parking and off-street loading facilities, and landscaped areas need not be equivalent to the standards prescribed for the regulations for other districts, which involve similar uses if the applicant has demonstrated, by their design proposal, that the objectives of this title will be achieved.

The average population density per net acre may not exceed the maximum population density design will be necessary to achieve the desired goals.

17.60.060 Prohibited uses.

No use shall be permitted, and no process, equipment, or material shall be employed, which is found by the planning commission to be objectionable to persons residing or working in the vicinity or injurious to property located in the vicinity by reason of odor, fumes, dust, smoke, cinders, dirt, retuse, water-carried wastes, noise, vibration, illuminations, glare, unsightliness or heavy truck traffic or to involve any hazard of fire or explosion.

17.60.070 Processing of an application for a planned development permit.

A. Prior to development of properties within the P-D zoning district that includes subdivision of property, the owner/applicant shall submit an application to the city:

1. The application shall be accompanied by a development plan of the entire site, drawn to scale and showing the contours of the site in intervals of not more than five (5) feet and provisions for: stormwater detention; public utility rights-of-way; streets; public and private access; driveways and sidewalks; off-street parking and loading facilities; reservations and dedications for public uses; residential uses, including dwelling types; nonresidential uses, including types; lot layout, including setbacks; heights and elevations of structures; and landscaped areas.

2. In addition to the data prescribed in subsection (A)(1) of this section, the application shall be accompanied by a tabulation of the area proposed to be devoted to each land use and a tabulation of the average population density per net acre and per gross acre in the area or areas proposed to be devoted to residential use.

3. The application shall also be accompanied by text that establishes development standards for the planned development including lot sizes, setbacks, building heights, parking requirements, etc.

4. A written statement setting forth the source of water supply, method of sewage disposal, and provisions for maintenance of landscaped areas.

5. Proposed parcel or subdivision map consistent with the development plan.

B. The planning commission shall review and act upon the parcel map or tentative subdivision map application in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the Subdivision Map Act and Title 16 (Subdivisions). Any approval shall be conditioned on the map becoming effective concurrently with the effective date of the rezone establishing the planned development district.

C. The planning commission may recommend approval of the planned development permit application and establishment of the planned development district only if it first makes the following findings:

1. That the proposed location of the planned development is in accordance with the objectives of this title.

That the proposed location of the planned development and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or be materially injurious to properties or improvements in the That the proposed planned development will comply with each of the applicable provisions of this chapter.

4. That the standards of population density, site area and dimensions, site coverage, yard spaces, heights of structures, distance between structures, off-street parking and off-street loading facilities, and landscaped areas will produce an environment of stable and desirable character consistent with the objectives of the city.

5. That the standards of population density, site area and dimensions, site coverage, yard spaces, height of structures, distances between structures and off-street parking and off-street loading facilities will be such that the development will not generate more traffic than the streets in the vicinity can carry without congestion and will not overload

6. That the combination of different dwelling types and variety of land uses in the development will complement each other and will harmonize with existing and proposed land uses in the vicinity.

7. The proposed planned development or the first use or group of uses can be substantially completed within the time schedule submitted by the applicant.

D. The planning commission shall forward its recommendation regarding approval of the planned development permit and establishment of the planned development district to the city council for final action.

E. The city council shall consider the application and development plan, together with the recommendation of the planning commission. The council may approve the planned development permit and establish the planned development district if it finds that:

1. The proposed district and development plan, as recommended by the planning commission, are consistent with the general plan and with the purposes of this title.

2. The proposed district and all uses provided for therein will be compatible with existing and anticipated development in the general vicinity.

F. If the city council determines that the project as proposed should not be approved, the council may refer the project back to the planning commission for further consideration.

G. An ordinance establishing a planned development district, if enacted by the city council, shall reference the development plan for the district approved by the city council.

17.64.010 Purpose.

A. This chapter is adopted pursuant to the authority conferred by the State Airport Approaches Zoning Law (Government Code Sections 50485-50485.14).

B. The Montague-Yreka Rohrer Field is acknowledged as an essential public facility to the local community. It is found that an airport hazard endangers the lives and property of users of Montague-Yreka Rohrer Field and of occupants of land in its vicinity, and also, if of the obstruction type, in effect reduces the size of the area available for the landing, taking off and maneuvering of aircraft, thus tending to destroy or impair the utility of the airport and the public investment therein. Accordingly, the following is declared:

1. That the creation or establishment of an airport hazard is a public nuisance and an injury to the region served by Montague-Yreka Rohrer Field.

2. That it is necessary in the interest of the public health, public safety, and general welfare that the creation or establishment of airport hazards be prevented.

3. That the prevention of these hazards should be accomplished to the extent legally possible by the exercise of the police power without compensation.

It is further declared that both the prevention of the creation or establishment of airport hazards and the elimination, removal, alteration, mitigation, or marking and lighting of existing airport hazards are public purposes for which the city may raise and expand public funds and acquire land or interests in land.

17.64.020 Definitions.

As used in this chapter, unless the context otherwise requires:
"Airport elevation" means the elevation of the airport reference point, which for Montague-Yreka Rohrer Field is two thousand five hundred twenty-seven (2,527) feet above mean sea level. "Airport hazard" means any structure or tree or use of land which obstructs the airspace required for the flight of aircraft in landing or taking off at an airport or is otherwise hazardous to such landing or taking off of aircraft.
"Airport Reference Point" means that point at the geographical center of Montague-Yreka Rohrer Field as shown on the Airport Layout Plan for Montague-Yreka Rohrer Field, which is also the point established for determining the height limits specified in Section 17.64.060 (Height limits), being the official elevation reference.
"Person" means any individual, firm, copartnership, corporation, company, association, joint stock association, city or county, or district, and includes any trustee, receiver, or assignee. "Structure" means any object constructed or installed, including, but without limitation, buildings, towers, smokestacks, and overhead lines.
"Tree" means any object of natural growth.

17.64.030 Airport Overlay district established.

In order to carry out the provisions of this chapter, there is hereby created an Airport Overlay (AO) zoning district that is composed of the following surface zones, compatibility, and height review overlay zones. The zones cover a geographic area that is affected by airport activities and are defined on the basis of factors including, but not limited to, aircraft noise, aircraft flight patterns, airport safety zones, local circulation patterns and area development patterns. The boundaries of the airport surface zones are shown on the Airspace Plan for Montague-Yreka Rohrer Field (April 1999), and the compatibility and height review overlay zones are shown on the Compatibility Map:

Montague-Yreka Rohrer Field (July 2001), which are attached to the ordinance codified in this chapter and incorporated by reference, and which shall also be on file and open for inspection in the office of the city clerk. The surface, compatibility, and height review zones are overlaid on top of the existing underlying zoning, which remains in full force and effect. Where the requirements imposed by the surface, compatibility, and height review overlay zones conflict with the requirements of the underlying zoning, the more restrictive requirement shall be enforced.

A. Surface Zones. In order to carry out the provisions of this chapter, there are created and established certain surface zones which include all the land lying beneath the approach surfaces, transitional surfaces, horizontal surfaces, and conical surfaces as they apply to the airport. Such zones are shown on the Airspace Plan for Montague-Yreka Rohrer Field (April 1999), as such currently exists or is hereafter amended. Within each of the surface zones there are hereby established certain height restrictions for structures and trees. The surface zones are established and defined as follows:

1. Approach Zone. An approach zone is established at each end of all non-instrument runways for non-instrument landings and takeoffs. The approach zone shall have a width of two hundred fifty (250) feet at a distance of two hundred (200) feet beyond each end of each runway with a specially prepared hard surface, and a width of two hundred fifty (250) feet at each end of each runway that has no specially prepared hard surface, widening thereafter uniformly to a width of one thousand two hundred fifty (1,250) feet at a distance of five thousand hundred (5,000) feet beyond each end of the runway, its centerline being the continuation of the centerline of the runway.

2. Transition Zones. Transition zones are established adjacent to each non-instrument runway and approach zone. Transition zones symmetrically located on either side of the runways have variable widths. Transition zones extend outward and upward, at right angles to the runway centerline and runway centerline extended, from the sides of the primary surface and approach surfaces. The transition zones slope upward and outward one (1) foot vertically for each seven (7) feet horizontally to the point where they intersect the surface of the horizontal zone. Further, transition zones are established adjacent to approach zones for the entire length of the approach zones.

These transition zones have variable widths. The transition zones flare symmetrically with either side of the runway approach zones from the base of the zones and slope upward and outward at the rate of one (1) foot vertically for each seven (7) feet horizontally to the points where they intersect the surface of the horizontal zone.

3. Horizontal Zone. A horizontal zone is established as the area within a circle with its center at the airport reference point and having a radius of five thousand (5,000) feet.

The horizontal zone does not include the approach zones and the transition zones.

Conical Zone. A conical zone is established commencing at the periphery of the horizontal zone and extending a horizontal distance of four thousand (4,000) feet. The conical zone does not include the approach zones and transition zones.

B. Compatibility and Height Review Overlay Zones. In order to carry out the provisions of this chapter and to promote land use compatibility on lands within and adjacent to and in the vicinity of the airport, there are created and established certain compatibility and height review overlay zones. Such compatibility and height review overlay zones are shown on the Compatibility Map Montague-Yreka Rohrer Field (July 2001), as such now exists or is hereafter amended. Within each of the compatibility zones, certain land use limitations are established and certain development standards are imposed in addition to the land uses and development standards of the underlying zoning. Where the requirements imposed by these compatibility zones conflict with the requirements of the underlying zoning, the more restrictive requirements shall be enforced. The compatibility and height review overlay zones are established and defined as follows:

1. Compatibility Zone A. Zone A includes airport runways and immediately adjacent areas wherein uses are restricted to aeronautical functions in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standards. The lateral limits of Zone A are defined by the airfield building restriction lines as depicted on the Airport Layout Plan, dated April 1999 and prepared under the direction of the Siskiyou County Airport Land Use Commission, which is incorporated herein and made a part of this chapter. The length of Zone A is set in most cases to encompass the runway protection zone located at each end of the runway, even if this area is not on airport property. Runway protection zone dimensions are defined by FAA airport design standards and take into account the runway approach type and the type of aircraft the runway is intended to accommodate. In addition to being an area of high risk, Zone A also is subject to high noise levels from individual aircraft operations.

Compatibility Zone B. Zone B generally surrounds Zone A, including areas both immediately beyond the runway protection zones and adjacent to the runways. These are locations where noise levels and risks are both moderate to high. Zone B generally encompasses areas impacted by noise levels of 55 dB CNEL or greater. Noise levels produced by individual aircraft operations also are high enough to disrupt many land use activities. Risk levels are moderate to high because the areas are overflown by aircraft at low altitudes - typically only two hundred (200) to one hundred (100) feet above the runway elevation. Additionally, restrictions on heights of objects are essential for airspace protection purposes.

3. Compatibility Zone C1. The outer boundary of Zone C1 is defined as the area commonly overflown by aircraft at an altitude of one thousand (1,000) feet or less above ground level. Included are locations beneath the traffic pattern and pattern entry points. A typical traffic pattern altitude is one thousand (1,000) feet above the airport elevation, although it can be lower or higher. Zone C1 boundaries take into account areas where high or low terrain affects the altitude of aircraft overflights above ground level. Annoyance associated with aircraft overflights is the major concern within Zone C1. Although the traffic pattern zone lies mostly outside the 55-dB CNEL contour, land uses are nevertheless subjected to frequent aircraft noise events.

4. Compatibility Zone D. Zone D includes other areas within the airport vicinity which are overflown less frequently or at a higher altitude by aircraft arriving and departing the airport.

Height Review Overlay Zone. The Height Review Overlay Zone encompasses locations where the terrain exceeds or comes within fifty (50) feet of an airspace surface defined by FAR Part 77. The fifty (50)-foot height is intended to represent the tallest likely height of an antenna on top of a building. Lands within Compatibility Zones A and B also are considered to be within the Height Review Overlay Zone because protection of the airspace above these areas is critical to the safety of aircraft approaching and departing a runway. All proposed development within this zone must be reviewed for potential conflicts with FAR Part 77 standards. Unless the structure would be shadowed by tall trees or high terrain situated nearby, information regarding the proposal must also be submitted to the FAA for an aeronautical study.

17.64.040 Use restrictions.

A. General Restrictions. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, no use may be made of land within any zone established by this chapter in such a manner as to create electrical interference with radio communications between the airport and aircraft; make it difficult for flyers to distinguish between airport lights and others; result in glare in the eyes of flyers using the airport, impairing visibility in the vicinity of the airport; or otherwise endanger the landing, taking off, or maneuvering of aircraft.

B. Residential Development-Density Limitations.

1. Criteria. Any subdivision of property for the purposes of residential development within the airport influence area shall comply with the following density criteria:
a. Compatibility Zone A: No new dwellings permitted.
b. Compatibility Zone B: No more than one (1) dwelling unit per five (5) acres. c. Compatibility Zone C1: No more than one (1) dwelling unit per two and one half (2.5) acres.
d. Compatibility Zone D: No airport-related limitations apply.

2. Parcels lying within two (2) or more compatibility zones. If a parcel proposed for development is split by a compatibility zone, the number of dwelling units permitted shall be determined by each zone located within the parcel. However, the development density allowed within the more restricted zone should be transferred to the less restricted zone. This type of transfer is encouraged, even if the resulting development in the less restrictive zone would exceed its allowable density. This transfer of development is also allowed with respect to multiple parcels proposed to be developed as a single project.

Development of existing lots. Except within Compatibility Zone A, a single-family dwelling may be built on any legal lot of record as of the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter even if the preceding density criteria would not be met.

4. Secondary units. Construction of a secondary dwelling unit shall not be permitted on any parcel if the resulting density would exceed the preceding criteria.

C. Nonresidential Development-Usage Intensity Limitations.

1. Criteria. Any proposed nonresidential construction or use of land for which a zoning approval, use permit, building permit, or other county approval is required shall be subject to the following usage intensity limitations:
a. Compatibility Zone A: No more than ten (10) people per acre. b. Compatibility Zone B: No more than twenty-five (25) people per acre. c. Compatibility Zones C1: No more than seventy-five (75) people per acre. d. Compatibility Zone D: No airport-related usage intensity limits apply.

2. Calculation. The maximum number of people permitted on a site shall be calculated based on the following factors:
a. Include all people who may be on the property (e.g., employees, customers, visitors, etc.).
b. Reflect the total number of people on the site at any time, except rare special events. Rare special events are ones (such as balloon fairs or an air show at an airport) for which a facility is not designed and normally not used and for which extra safety precautions can be taken as appropriate.

C. If a parcel proposed for nonresidential use is split by compatibility zone boundaries, the usage intensity shall be calculated as if the parcel was divided at the compatibility zone boundary line. The intensity of development allowed within the more restricted portion of the parcel is encouraged to be transferred to the less restricted portion. This transfer of development is also allowed with respect to multiple parcels proposed to be developed as a single project.

3. Specific land uses. For the purpose of providing a guideline, the number of people per acre associated with specific land uses can be estimated as follows, and the following land uses can generally be assumed to have average usage intensities as indicated.

The following list is a typical cross section of land uses and is not intended to be exhaustive.
a. No more than ten (10) people per acre:
i. Rangeland and pastures.

Forests.
ili. Field crops and orchards.
iv. Two-lane roads.
b. Over ten (10), but no more than twenty-five (25) people per acre:

Automobile parking lots (no structures).
ii. Cemeteries.
ili. Indoor storage facilities.
iv. Lumber storage yards.

V. Equipment sales and service.

C. Over twenty-five (25), but no more than seventy-five (75) people per acre:
i. Parks, picnic areas, and playgrounds.
il. Outdoor sports facilities, not spectator oriented.
iii. Retail sales.

Small shopping centers, one (1) story only.

V. Business and professional offices, two (2) stories or fewer. vi. Motels, two (2) stories or fewer.
vii. Light industrial or manufacturing uses.

Over seventy-five (75) people per acre:
i. Buildings, three (3) or more stories.
ii. Major shopping centers.
iii. Movie theaters.
iv. Convention halls.
v. Sports stadiums.

All other land uses. The usage intensity of all other uses highly depends upon the specifics of the proposed land use and its design. For uses not listed above, the anticipated number of people per acre can be calculated based on any of the following methods:
a. Parking spaces. Unless a substantial number of people would arrive at the site by means other than automobile (or would park off site), the anticipated number of people on the site can be estimated to be at least equal to the number of automobile parking spaces required for the use. A higher number shall be assumed for uses which typically attract more than one (1) person per vehicle. b. Building Code. The anticipated maximum number of people occupying indoor facilities on a site can be assumed to be no higher than the total floor area of the proposed use divided by the minimum square feet per occupant requirements listed in the Building Code. Because the Building Code criteria represent highly intensive levels of usage, the number obtained through this calculation can normally be divided in half for the purposes of the usage intensity criteria in this section.

C. Survey or analysis results. A project applicant may provide evidence, such as surveys of existing uses similar to the type proposed, documenting that specific features of a proposal would result in a usage intensity lower than that assumed using the methods indicated above. Acceptance of such evidence shall be at the discretion of the permitting authority.

17.64.050 Prohibited uses.

Regardless of whether the use would meet the intensity criteria listed in Section 17.64.050 (Use restrictions), the following land uses shall be prohibited within the zones indicated:

A. Compatibility Zone A.

b. Transition Zones. One (1) foot in height for each seven (7) feet in horizontal distance beginning at a point one hundred twenty-five (125) feet from the centerline of non-instrument runway, measured at right angles to the longitudinal centerline of the runway, extending upward to a maximum height of one hundred fifty (150) feet above the established airport elevation, which is two thousand five hundred twenty-seven (2,527) feet above mean sea level. In addition to the foregoing, there are established height limits of one (1) foot vertical height for each seven (7) horizontal distance measured from the edges of all approach zones for the entire length of the approach zone and extending upward and outward to the points where they intersect the horizontal surfaces.

C. Horizontal Zone. One hundred fifty (150) feet above the established airport elevation or a maximum height of two thousand six hundred seventy-seven (2,677) feet above mean sea level elevation, with a radius of five thousand (5,000) feet measured from the airport reference point. d. Conical Zone. One (1) foot in height for each twenty (20) feet of horizontal distance beginning at the periphery of the horizontal zone and measured in an inclined plane passing through the airport reference point, extending out from the horizontal surface four thousand (4,000) feet measured on a horizontal plane.

17.64.070 Other requirements.

A. Site Design. In addition to the specific development restrictions set forth in the preceding sections, all structures within Compatibility Zone B shall be located as far as practical from the extended runway centerline unless suggested otherwise by the city administrator.

B. Hazard Marking and Lighting. If such action is deemed advisable to effectuate the purpose of this chapter and be reasonable in the circumstances, any permit or variance granted may be so conditioned as to require the owner of the structure or tree in question to permit the city, at its own expense, to install, operate, and maintain thereon such markers and lights as may be necessary to indicate to flyers the presence of an airport hazard.

C. Avigation Easement Dedication. As a condition for approval of new development requiring a discretionary approval within Compatibility Zones A or B, or within a Terrain Penetration Area, the owner of the property on which the development is to be located shall dedicate and record an avigation easement to the City of Montague. The purpose of this requirement is twofold: to protect the airport airspace from objects which could constitute hazards to air navigation, and to inform future owners and prospective purchasers of the property that aircraft may overfly the location at low altitudes while approaching, departing, or maneuvering near the associated airport. An avigation easement shall contain the following provisions:

1. Provide the right of flight in the airspace above the property;

2. Allow the generation of noise and other impacts associated with aircraft overflight;

3. Restrict the height of structures, trees and other objects;

4. Permit access to the property for the removal or aeronautical marking and/or lighting of objects exceeding the established height limit; and

5. Prohibit electrical interference, glare, and other potential hazards to flight from being created on the property.

E. Deed Notification. As a condition for approval of new development requiring a discretionary approval, such as a tentative parcel map, subdivision map, planned development, use permit, zone change, or other discretionary permit, within Compatibility Zone C1, a notice regarding aircraft overflight activity shall be recorded with the deed to the property. Said notice shall indicate that the property is routinely subject to overflight activity by aircraft using the airport; that residents may experience inconvenience, annoyance, or discomfort from the noise of such operations and should be prepared to accept such occurrences; and that the current volume of aircraft activity at the airport could increase in the future. Any subsequent deed conveying the parcel or subdivisions thereof to a new owner shall also contain a statement to this effect.

F. Zoning and Building Regulations. The development criteria applicable within the Airport Overlay (AO) district are in addition to the requirements and standards of the underlying zoning district with which the AO district is combined. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this chapter and any other land use or building regulation applicable to the same land area or parcel, including regulations adopted by other public agencies, the more restrictive criteria shall prevail.

17.64.080 Nonconforming uses.

A. No permit shall be granted that would allow the establishment or creation of an airport hazard or permit a nonconforming use, structure, or tree to be made or become higher or become a greater hazard to air navigation than it was on the effective date of this chapter or any amendments thereto or than it is when the application for a permit is made.

B. Whenever the building inspector determines that a nonconforming structure or tree has been abandoned or more than eighty (80) percent physically damaged, deteriorated, or decayed, no permit shall be granted that would allow the structure or tree to exceed the applicable height limit or otherwise deviate from the regulations contained herein unless a variance has been granted in accordance with Section 17.64.090 (Variances).

C. The regulations prescribed by this chapter shall not be construed to require the removal, lowering, or other changes or alterations of any structure or tree not conforming to the regulations as of the effective date of this chapter or otherwise interfere with the continuance of any nonconforming use. Nothing contained in this chapter shall require any change in the construction, alteration, or intended use of any structure, the construction or alteration of which was begun prior to the effective date of this chapter and is diligently prosecuted.

D. Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous subsection, the owner of any nonconforming structure or tree is required to permit the installation, operation, and maintenance thereon of such markers and lights as are deemed necessary by the city administrator to indicate to the operators of aircraft in the vicinity of the airport the presence of the airport hazards. The narkers and lights shall be installed, operated, and maintained at the expense of the city.

17.64.090 Variances.

A. Variances. Any person desiring to erect or increase the height of any structure or permit the growth of any tree or use their property not in accordance with the regulations prescribed in this chapter may apply to the airport zoning commission for a variance from such regulations.

B. Variances from the height limit criteria set forth in Section 17.64.060 (Height limits) shall be permitted only if all of the following conditions are met:

1. At least one of the following circumstances exists: terrain, trees, or other objects of equal or greater height are situated within a one hundred (100)-foot radius of the object; or the FAA has conducted an aeronautical study of the proposed object and determined that the object would not create a hazard to the navigable airspace of the airport.

2. The owner of the property has dedicated an avigation easement to the City of Montague.

3. Ihe owner of the property has agreed in writing to the installation, operation, and maintenance of any hazard marking and/or lighting required pursuant to subsection B of Section 17.64.070 (Other requirements).

C. Prior to granting a variance, the airport zoning commission shall make specific findings as to why the variance is being granted and that the land use will not create a safety hazard to people on the ground or aircraft in flight nor result in excessive noise exposure for the proposed use. Such findings shall be consistent with the spirit of this chapter and with guidelines established in the Airport Land Use Planning Handbook published by the California Department of Transportation. Findings also shall be made as to the characteristics of the terrain, surrounding land uses, or other extraordinary circumstances which would cause adherence to the criteria of this chapter to result in practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship upon use of the property and thus should warrant the policy variance.

D. Such variances shall be allowed when it is duly found that a literal application or enforcement of the regulations would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship and the relief granted would not be contrary to the public interest but would do substantial justice and be in accordance with the spirit of this chapter.

17.64.100 Administration of provisions.

It shall be the duty of the city administrator and building inspector to administer and enforce the regulations prescribed in this chapter. Applications for permits and variances shall be made to the city administrator and/or building inspector upon a form furnished by the city clerk. Applications required by this chapter to be submitted to the city administrator and/or building inspector shall be promptly considered and granted or denied. Applications for action by the airport zoning commission shall be forthwith transmitted by the city administrator and/or building inspector.

B. The chairperson of the planning commission shall be the chairperson of the airport zoning commission with meetings of the commission being held at the call of the chairperson and at such other times as the commission may determine, but usually concurrently with planning commission meetings.

17.64.120 Appeals to commission.

A. Any person aggrieved or any taxpayer affected by any decision of the city administrator or building inspector, if of the opinion that any such decision is an improper application of these regulations, may appeal to the commission.

B. All appeals must be taken within a reasonable time as provided by the rules of the commission by filing with the city administrator a notice of appeal specifying the grounds thereof. The city administrator shall forthwith transmit to the commission all the papers constituting the record upon which the action appealed from was taken.

C. An appeal shall stay all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from unless the city administrator or building inspector, as the case may be, certifies to the commission after the notice of appeal has been filed with it that by reason of the facts stated in the certificate a stay would cause imminent peril to life and property. In such case, proceedings shall not be stayed except by order of the commission on due cause shown.

D. The commission shall fix a reasonable time for hearing appeals, give public notice and due notice to the parties in interest, and decide appeals within a reasonable time. Upon the hearing, any party may appear in person or by agent or by attorney.

The regulations and design standards of this chapter are intended to ensure usefulness of facilities, to protect public safety, and where appropriate, to mitigate potential adverse impacts on adjacent land uses.

17.72.020 General regulations.

A. Unless stipulated by other provisions of this title, off-street parking facilities shall be provided for any new building or land use established. Off-street parking facilities shall be provided for any addition or enlargement of an existing building or use, or any change of occupancy or manner of operation that would result in additional parking spaces being required; provided, that the additional parking shall be required only for the addition, enlargement, or change and not for the entire building or use.

B. Facilities being used for off-street parking on the effective date of this ordinance codified in this title shall not be reduced in capacity to less than the number of parking spaces required or altered in design or function to less than the minimum standards prescribed by this title, except as provided by Section 17.72.120 (Exceptions) and Chapter 17.108 (Accessory Dwelling Units).

C. For sites with more than one land use, or for adjacent sites served by a common parking facility, the parking requirement shall be the total number of spaces required for each site or use, except as provided by Section 17.72.060 (Shared parking facilities).

F. Required parking facilities shall be on the same site as the land use for which required, except as authorized pursuant to Section 17.72.050 (Off-site parking).

A land use that is subject to approval of a use permit may be required to provide more or fewer parking spaces than prescribed by this chapter as determined by the city engineer.

17.72.030 Amount of off-street parking.

Parking facilities for each land use shall be provided according to the minimum requirements set forth in Section 17.72.140 (Minimum off-street parking requirements), applied as follows:

In a parking facility of ten (10) or more spaces, a maximum of twenty-five (25) percent of the spaces may be designed for compact cars. Spaces for compact vehicles shall be located in a manner affording desirability and usability equivalent to standard spaces.

17.72.050 Off-site parking.

A. Where permitted by use permit, the planning commission may authorize a portion or all the parking spaces required for a land use to be located on another site. An application for off- site parking shall require submission of a use permit application; payment of the applicable application fee deposit; a detailed and scaled site plan of the proposed parking facility; and a written statement addressing the relevant factors listed in subsection B of this section.

In determining whether to approve an application for a use permit for off-site parking, the planning commission shall consider all relevant factors, including:

1. The locations of the land use and the proposed off-site parking facility, and the parking demand created by other land uses in the vicinity.

2. The characteristics of the land use, including employee and customer parking demand, hours of operation, and projected convenience and frequency of use of off- site parking.

Convenience and safety of pedestrian access between the land use and off-site parking facility.

4. Difficulty or impracticality of providing all required parking on the same site as the land use the parking facility serves.

5. The recommendations of the city engineer and city planner.

C. The planning commission may require such guarantees as deemed necessary to assure continued availability and usability of any off-site parking.

17.72.060 Shared parking facilities.

A. When two (2) or more uses are located on the same lot or parcel of land, the number of off- street parking spaces required shall be the sum total of the requirements of the various individual uses computed separately in accordance with this chapter.

B. Where permitted by use permit, the planning commission may authorize an adjustment in the total parking requirement for separate land uses located on the same site, or for separate adjustment shall require submission of a use permit application; payment of the applicable uses located on adjacent sites and served by a common parking facility. A request for application fee deposit; a detailed and scaled site plan of the proposed parking facility; and a written statement addressing the relevant factors listed in subsection E of this section.

Maximum Allowable Reduction
Total Requirement for All Uses 30 percent
10 or fewer spaces
40 percent
11-30 spaces
50 percent
More than 30 spaces
A parking facility subject to adjustment under this section shall be designed as a common, D. unified parking facility providing reasonably equivalent accessibility and convenience to all land uses which the parking facility is intended to serve.

In determining whether to approve an adjustment for mixed-use developments and shared E. parking facilities, the planning commission shall consider all relevant factors, including:

1. The characteristics of each land use and the differences in projected peak parking demand, including days or hours of operation.

Potential reduction in vehicle movements afforded by multipurpose use of the parking

2. facility by employees, customers, or residents of the uses served.

Potential improvements in parking facility design, circulation, and access afforded by

3. a joint parking facility.

4. The recommendations of the city engineer and city planner.

F. A use permit authorizing a reduction in the amount of off-street parking shall be granted only when all of the following findings can be made, based on substantial evidence:

The specific characteristics of the land use for which the reduction is requested do not

1. necessitate the number of parking spaces that would otherwise be required by this chapter.

Information provided by the applicant for a reduction in required parking documents

2. and supports the need for fewer parking spaces.

The reduced parking standards will be adequate to accommodate all parking demands

3. generated by the proposed land use and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and general welfare.

G. The planning commission may require such guarantees as deemed necessary to assure availability of parking and adequacy of maintenance and operating the continued
agreements to retain the usability of the parking facility.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with the City of Montague Fire Department. This is a noble profession with a long tradition of service; one that offers camaraderie and the satisfaction of helping others. We hold volunteers to a high standard- -as a matter of public trust. Your success depends on completion of our application, background checks, and acceptance. We offer free training and valuable job experience working alongside career and volunteer personnel-in exchange for a time commitment.

Montague Fire Department is a fully volunteer department. We are equipped to serve the City of Montague and the Montague Fire Protection District with fire, rescue and medical operations. We provide mutual aid and automatic aid to our surrounding departments in the county such as Grenada, Yreka City, South Yreka, Mayten, Hornbrook, and Cal Fire Siskiyou Unit.

If approved you will be contacted and will be required to be at the next regular city council meeting where the city has to approve your application as well.

Once approved by the City Council you are now a probationaty firefighter. You will be assigned a pager and a locker along with all your personnel protective equipment. Your probation period is 6 months and during that time you will be assigned an officer and required to complete certain things during that 6 months. You will need to take and pass a medical physical along with a physical agility test, complete your ICS 100,200,700 online, also complete a CPR for the professional rescuer. You will need to sign up for a Title 22 class, First Responder class, or an EMT class within that 6-month time frame as well. Need to complete S130 and S190 class. If you have any questions please feel free to contact the Chief or any other officers on the department and we will assist you with any needs or questions you have.

We appreciate the opportunity to offer you a chance of a lifetime to be a member of our dedicated volunteers. We take great pride and dedication in what we do. We are one of ine busiest departments in Siskiyou County and run over 400 calls a year. It takes a special person and some time away from home to do this job and we just want to make sure people understand what they are getting into when joining a volunteer fire department. The State of California requires us to have over 165hrs of Structure Fire Training and 65hrs of Wildland Training along with other hours of training we have to perform each year. We look forward to making you part of our team.
