Agenda Item: 10.a.
City Council Meeting
of July 8, 2025
APPROVE AMENDMENTS TO NEWMAN ZONING CODE AS REQUIRED BY PROGRAM 1.2 OF THE 6rn CYCLE HOUSING ELEMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
Conduct Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance No. 2025-xx, amending Title 5, Zoning, of the Municipal Code to implement Program 1.2 of the 6th Cycle 2023-2031 Housing Element Update and authorize the staff to publish a summary of said Ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
CA Government Code Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 3, Article 10.6 [65580 - 65589.11] regulates the use and requirements of housing elements in California. The state law requires jurisdictions to update their General Plan Housing Element every eight years. State law further requires the current update for jurisdictions in the Stanislaus Council of Governments (StanCOG) region to comply by December 31, 2023.
On September 19, 2024, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to allow the public to provide comments on both the mitigated negative declaration and the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update. The Commission received one comment indicating support for lower housing/rent pricing. After closing the public hearing, the Commission voted to recommend that the Council adopt the mitigated negative declaration and approve General Plan Amendment No. 24-01 - 6th Cycle Housing Element.
On October 22, 2024, the Council held a public hearing on the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update. Upon the conclusion of the public hearing, the Council voted to adopt Resolution No. 2024-36 approving General Plan Amendment No. 24-01, repealing the 2015-2023 Housing Element and adopting the 2023-2031 Housing Element of the General Plan in compliance with State Housing Element Law.
On April 17, 2025, the Planning Commission opened a public hearing regarding the implementation of Program 1.2 of the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update. The Commission continued the Public Hearing to May 7th, to allow staff time to gather additional information regarding program 1.2. After closing the public hearing on May 8th, the Planning Commission voted to recommend that the Council approve the ordinance amendments to Title 5, Zoning, of the Municipal Code in order to implement Program 1.2 of the Housing Element Update.
A duly-noticed public hearing was held on this item at the June 24th City Council meeting. Following the closure of the public hearing, the Council voted to introduce the Ordinance on a 3-1 vote.
ANALYSIS:
Program 1.2 of the 6th Cycle Housing Element requires the City to make Municipal Code amendments by June 2025. The amendments consist of General Amendments to the Zoning Code and Permit Zoning for a Variety of Housing Types According to State Law, which are outlined in Attachment 2.
The proposed changes are intended to reduce local regulations and simplify the process and standards governing the development of various residential housing types. Examples include establishing a minimum density of 20 dwelling units to the acre in R-3 zoning district, permit upper-story residential uses in all commercial zoning districts by right, permit single-room occupancies by right in all mixed-use and R-3 Districts, permit supportive and transitional housing in all zones allowing residential uses, and develop a procedure for approving Low-Barrier Navigation Centers.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City of Newman Environmental Quality Guidelines, it has been determined that this project has already met environmental review requirements through the adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the 6th Cycle Housing Element.
Agenda Item: 10.a.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Neutral.
CONCLUSION:
As part of the Housing Element Update process, the State is compelling the requirements of Program 1.2 of the Housing Element Update in an effort to streamline the development process and ease the development requirements for a variety of housing types. Many of these standards have been recently codified into State Law. The proposed Code amendments are necessary to comply with Program 1.2 and remain in good standing with the State regarding our 2023-2031 Housing Element Update. Therefore, staff recommends the Council adopt Ordinance Amendment 2025- , amending Title 5, Zoning, of the Municipal Code to implement Program 1.2 of the 6th Cycle 2023-2031 Housing Element Update and authorize staff to publish a summary of said Ordinance.

Program 1.3: Northwest Newman Master Plan Annexation and Development Phasing The City's housing sites inventory includes the Northwest Newman Master Plan (NWNMP) Area (Sites 1A through 1 F), which encompasses the annexation of six parcels with the objective of developing a total of 1,037 residential units over the eight-year planning period. The housing distribution for this site is planned as follows:
• Lower-income units: 150 multi-family dwelling units and 70 ADUs, totaling 220 units; • Moderate-income units: 35 ADUs; and
• Above moderate-income units: 771 single-family dwelling units and 11 ADUs, totaling 782 units .
This site was identified in a previous housing element cycle, and therefore is subject to ministerial review when a developer includes 20 percent affordable.
The City will work with the developers and the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) to ensure that the identified sites are annexed into the City no later than Summer 2025. For further project related details, refer to Chapter 5.
The planned schedule of actions for the NWNMP is outlined as follows:
• Completion of infrastructure (water and wastewater) by Fall 2024; Chapter 2.0 - Goals, Policies, and Programs 2-6 EMC Planning Group Inc.
