STAFF REPORT
Date: March 2, 2022 Agenda Item:

2.F.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Prepared By: Dana Roa, City Clerk
Department: City Clerk
SUBJECT:

Resolution Opposing Initiative 21-0042A1
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution 2022-15 to oppose Initiative 21-0042A1, a deceptive, corporatesponsored proposition aimed for the November 2022 statewide ballot that would significantly jeopardize cities’ ability to provide essential services and infrastructure for our residents.

SUMMARY:

The measure limits the voters’ input, adopts new and stricter rules for raising taxes and fees, and makes it more difficult to hold state and local law violators accountable.

BACKGROUND:

An association representing California’s wealthiest corporations — including oil, insurance, banks and drug companies — is behind a deceptive proposition aimed for the November 2022 statewide ballot. Their measure would create major new loopholes that allow corporations to avoid paying their fair share for the impacts they have on our communities; while also allowing corporations to evade enforcement when they violate environmental, health, safety and other state and local laws.

A broad coalition of local governments, labor and public safety leaders, infrastructure advocates, and businesses oppose the Corporate Loophole Scheme for the following reasons:

Gives Wealthy Corporations a Major Loophole to Avoid Paying their Fair Share - Forcing Local Residents and Taxpayers to Pay More
• The measure creates new constitutional loopholes that allow corporations to pay far less than their fair share for the impacts they have on our communities, including local infrastructure, our environment, water quality, air quality, and

Page 188 of 314 ends

natural resources – shifting the burden and making individual taxpayers pay more.

Allows Corporations to Dodge Enforcement When They Violate Environmental, Health, Public Safety and Other Laws
• The deceptive scheme creates new loopholes that makes it much more difficult for state and local regulators to issue fines and levies on corporations that violate laws intended to protect our environment, public health and safety, and our neighborhoods.

Jeopardizes Vital Local and State Services
• This far-reaching measure puts at risk billions of dollars currently dedicated to critical state and local services.
• It could force cuts to public schools, fire and emergency response, law enforcement, public health, parks, libraries, affordable housing, services to support homeless residents, mental health services and more. • It would also reduce funding for critical infrastructure like streets and roads, public transportation, drinking water, new schools, sanitation, utilities and more.

Opens the Door for Frivolous Lawsuits, Bureaucracy and Red Tape that Will Cost Taxpayers and Hurt Our Communities
• The measure will encourage frivolous lawsuits, bureaucracy and red tape that will cost local taxpayers millions — while significantly delaying and stopping investments in infrastructure and vital services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item is consistent with Strategic Direction #3: Economic Development and Financial Stability.

RESOLUTION NO. 2022-15

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
NORCO, CALIFORNIA, TO OPPOSE INITIATIVE 21-0042A1
WHEREAS, an association representing California’s wealthiest corporations is behind a deceptive proposition aimed for the November 2022 statewide ballot; and WHEREAS, the measure creates new constitutional loopholes that allow corporations to pay far less than their fair share for the impacts they have on our communities, including local infrastructure, our environment, water quality, air quality, and natural resources; and
WHEREAS, the measure includes undemocratic provisions that would make it more difficult for local voters to pass measures needed to fund local services and infrastructure, and would limit voter input by prohibiting local advisory measures where voters provide direction on how they want their local tax dollars spent; and WHEREAS, the measure makes it much more difficult for state and local regulators to issue fines and levies on corporations that violate laws intended to protect our environment, public health and safety, and our neighborhoods; and WHEREAS, the measure puts billions of dollars currently dedicated to state and local services at risk, and could force cuts to public schools, fire and emergency response, law enforcement, public health, parks, libraries, affordable housing, services to support homeless residents, mental health services, and more; and WHEREAS, the measure would also reduce funding for critical infrastructure like streets and roads, public transportation, drinking water, new schools, sanitation, and utilities.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the City Council of the City of Norco, California, opposes Initiative 21-0042A1.

THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of Norco will join the NO on Initiative 21-0042A1 coalition, a growing coalition of public safety, labor, local government, infrastructure advocates, and other organizations throughout the state.

We direct staff to email a copy of this adopted resolution to the League of California Cities at [email protected].

STAFF REPORT
Date: March 2, 2022 Agenda Item:

2.G.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Prepared By: Alma Robles, Planning Director
Department: Planning
SUBJECT:

Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) Grant Program Award from the State Department of Housing and Community Development
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2022-16, authorizing the City Manager to sign the Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) grant award provided by the State Department of Housing and Community Development for funding authorized by the Senate Bill 2 Planning Grant Program to accelerate housing production.

Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager execute the award contract and accept the LEAP grant award.

SUMMARY:

The attached Resolution is required by the State as part of a LEAP Grant Program award acceptance. The LEAP provides over-the-counter grants complemented with technical assistance to local governments for the preparation and adoption of planning documents and process improvements that 1) accelerate housing production and 2) facilitate compliance with implementation of the 2021-2029, 6th Cycle Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA).

BACKGROUND:

Increasing the availability of affordable homes statewide is critical to bettering the quality of life of all Californians and to ending homelessness. In the 2019-2020 Budget Act, Governor Gavin Newsom allocated $250 million for all regions, cities, and counties to do their part by prioritizing planning activities that accelerate housing production to meet identified needs of every community. With this allocation, HCD established the Local Early Action Planning Grant Program (LEAP) with $119 million for cities and counties. LEAP provides one-time grant funding to cities and counties to update their planning documents and process improvements that will facilitate the acceleration of housing production and facilitate compliance to implement the sixth cycle RHNA targets.

Page 192 of 314 ends

The City Council authorized City Staff to apply for this award in February 2021 followed up by submittal of all application materials and supporting documents to the State in March. Staff received notification that the City had been awarded the LEAP grant on September 24, 2021 in the amount of $149,500. This grant is representative of the staff's commitment to utilizing available resources that lessen the burden on the General Fund.

The City of Norco’s funding request includes:
• Prepare a comprehensive update to the Zoning Ordinance (Section 18 of the Norco Municipal Code)
• Prepare an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance
• Creation of Objective Development Standards for compliance with SB 35 • Various Updates to the Zoning Ordinance to be consistent with the 2021-2029 Housing Element update
FISCAL IMPACT:

The Grant provides $149,500 to the City of Norco specifically dedicated to the various State requirements regarding the Housing crisis needs. The grant money will offset City costs affiliated with completed requirements outlined in the 2021-2029 Housing Element update with no matching fund requirement.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

The LEAP grant is consistent with Strategic Direction #3 - Economic Development and Financial Stability: "Assure financial stability by expanding development efforts, diversifying revenue sources and continuing prudent financial management" by securing funds to help pay for services that the City would otherwise have to provide on its own.

STAFF REPORT
Date: March 2, 2022 Agenda Item:

2.H.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Prepared By: Lisette Free, Finance Director
Department: Finance
SUBJECT:

Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Second Quarter Budget Performance Report RECOMMENDATION:

Receive and file the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Second Quarter Budget Performance Report.

SUMMARY:

One of the Department’s annual goals is to timely inform the City Council on actual operating budget results relative to the annual adopted budget. This report provides information on how actual results through December 31, 2021, compared to the adopted budget. Any significant variances identified as a result of reviewing/analyzing the budget performance through December 31, 2021 have been recommended as a mid-year budget amendment. This report also provides budget to actual information on the City’s five Landscape Maintenance Districts.

BACKGROUND:

As part of revenue and expenditure reporting and monitoring program, staff has provided the City Council with quarterly budget performance reports since Fiscal Year 2004. This report provides information as of the second quarter ended December 31, 2021. As a result of timing differences, the first six months of actual recorded data may not serve as accurate prediction of what the year-end numbers are likely to be at June 30, 2022. For example, traditionally the majority of property taxes, sales taxes and franchise fees are received during the second half of the fiscal year. With this in mind, these numbers have been analyzed in conjunction with other historic and currently available data through the first week in February in order to identify material variances with the adopted budget.

Attachment A provides a summary of revenues and expenditures for each operating fund through December 31, 2021.

General Fund Revenues

Page 216 of 314 ends

Including the effects of timing differences, the following variances have been identified between adopted budget and actual results through December 31, 2021. These variances are being incorporated as part of the mid-year budget amendments. • Property Tax: The low percentage of property tax revenue received as of December 31, 2021, is due to the uneven distribution of property tax receipts during the fiscal year. The bulk of property tax revenues are received in the months of January and May of each year. Based on the most recent assessed value information made available by the County in October 2021, it is anticipated that property tax revenue will be higher by year-end due to increase in residual tax increment. An appropriate budget adjustment has been recommended. • Sales Tax: Sales tax revenue for FY 2021-2022 budget year was estimated with the Coronavirus pandemic impact in mind. Despite the coronavirus pandemic, the City saw significant growth in Sales Tax during FY 2020-2021. Early FY 2021-2022 data suggests that the strong growth in sales tax revenue experienced during FY 2020-2021 is continuing. So, the outlook in FY 2021-2022 is favorable as the impacts on city revenues from the coronavirus pandemic continues to diminish.

Through the month of November 2021, actual Sales Tax receipts totaled $4,207,350. An appropriate budget adjustment has been recommended. • Motor Vehicle In-Lieu Fees (MVLF): In 2004, the Legislature permanently reduced the VLF tax rate and eliminated state general fund backfill to cities and counties. Instead, cities and counties now receive additional transfers of property tax revenues in lieu of VLF. Annually, half of the first installment of the replacement property tax is received during the first week of February 2022. Based on the amount of the first installment receipt, MVLF actual receipts are expected to be higher than budget due to growth in assessed valuation. An appropriate adjustment has been recommended for mid-year budget adjustment. • Other Taxes: The other taxes category includes public safety sales tax, property transfer tax, transient occupancy tax and business license tax. Total revenue for this category is tracking slightly ahead of budget due to better than anticipated performance in public safety sales tax, property transfer tax and transient occupancy tax. The property transfer tax increase is due to higher sales values and the red-hot real estate market. Transient occupancy tax increased as travel restrictions due to the Coronavirus pandemic were lessened. Recommended adjustments have been included in the mid-year budget amendment report. • Franchise Fees: Significant amount of the revenues in this category are from electric and gas franchises fees which are received once a year. The City receives payment for electric and gas franchise fees in April. Refuse franchise revenues are received monthly while cable television franchises are received quarterly. Overall revenue projections for this category are expected to be slightly higher than the adopted budget due to increased cable and refuse franchise receipts.

Recommended adjustments have been included in the mid-year budget amendment report.
• Fines and Penalties: This revenue category includes vehicle code violation fines, parking citations and abandoned vehicle impound fees. Based on actual receipts

Page 217 of 314 ends

through December 31, 2021, this revenue category is anticipated to be slightly less than budgeted due to decreased municipal code violation revenues. An appropriate adjustment is being incorporated into the mid-year budget adjustments.
• Community Development Fees: Community development fees consist of planning, building and safety, and engineering fees. Planning, building and engineering revenues are anticipated to be higher than budgeted due to building and safety fees related to the development by CapRock for the Saddle Ranch and Palomino projects and the anticipation of the development of a hotel by year end.

Appropriate adjustments are being incorporated into the mid-year budget. • Community Services: This category includes recreation activities fees, facilities rentals, Wee-People Program and revenues related to special events. Overall revenue projection for this category is expected to increase by $67,679 as restrictions are lifted from the Coronavirus pandemic.

General Fund Expenditures
Overall General Fund expenditures are tracking to the adopted budget. As shown on Attachment A, expenditures in the Sheriff’s and Fire Departments are below budget as of December 31, 2021, because County billing for contract services usually lag behind by at least 45 days for police services and three or more months for fire services. Cal Fire costs are billed and paid on a quarterly basis.

The Sheriff’s costs are billed and paid on a monthly basis. The first payment for the Sheriff’s Department was paid in September 2021. The cost for the department is largely determined based on Riverside County law enforcement contract rates. At the time the FY 2021-2022 budget was approved, the contract rate was estimated at 5.25% increase.

The County now believes that the contract rate will decrease to 4.12%. This reduction in rate is expected to generate a cost reduction from the adopted budget. However, staff is recommending a Dedicated Traffic Deputy towards the end of the fiscal year. The additional cost will be funded by the projected savings from lower contract rates.

American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)
The American Rescue Plan Act Fund was adopted by the City Council on October 20, 2021. ARPA provides Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF) to all cities in the United States. The purpose of the funding is to help cities respond and recover from the health and economic impacts from the world-wide Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19). City Council approved FY 2021-2022 appropriation in the amount of $3.2 million from the City's total allocation of $6.4 million. The remaining funds will be appropriated in future fiscal years. In addition, the City Council approved additional appropriation from ARPA funds on December 15, 2021, to provide emergency clean up and environmental observation of work to be performed at the Santa Ana River homeless encampments. Overall, ARPA expenditures are tracking to the adopted budget.

It is important to note because the City’s allocation of ARPA funds is less than $10 million, Department of Treasury Regulations allows the City to use all of its allocation as lost revenue replacement. This allows the City Council to appropriate ARPA funds for any legal government purpose except those that are prohibited. To provide flexibility to the City Council in the way these funds are used, the City will be treating all of its allocation as lost revenue replacement.

Measure R Fund
The second quarter budget to actual budget performance report for Measure R Fund was approved by the Measure R Citizens’ Oversight Committee (COC) on January 26, 2022 and presented to City Council to receive and file as part of this agenda item (see Attachment B).

Water and Sewer Funds Revenues and Expenditures
A review of Water Fund actual revenues through January 2022, indicates that total revenues are tracking slightly less than the original budget estimates. Expenditures are tracking according to the approved expenditure budget. Water revenue trends tend to be at their highest in the fall months due to hotter weather while revenue trends decrease in the spring months. Staff is recommending a decrease of $440,813 to Water Fund revenues due to lower consumption and extension of shut-offs moratorium by the State.

Sewer Fund revenues which primarily consists of fixed charges were also reviewed through January 2022 and determined to be slightly less than the original budget estimates by $122,231. Similarly, expenditures are tracking in line with budget.

Other City Funds
This second quarter report also provides summary information on CDBG, Gas Tax, NPDES and Miscellaneous Grant Funds. NPDES expenditures are tracking to budget.

NPDES revenues have not been received as of December 2021 due to the timing of property tax payments from the County.

Over the last few years, Gas Tax Fund has been delayed with the majority of the receipts received in the second half of the fiscal year. In late January, the City received revised gas tax revenue estimates from the State indicating that projected receipts will be slightly more than the adopted budget due to the lifting of restrictions related to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Landscape Maintenance Districts
Through meetings and other discussions with residents of Landscape Maintenance Districts (LMDs) in 2012, it was agreed between staff and residents that quarterly budget to actual reports on the LMDs would help residents to better understand how LMD assessment receipts are expended. Attachment A (starting on page 4) provides a budget to actual comparison of each district’s revenues and expenditures through December 31, 2021. The quarterly budget to actual report is also intended to assist staff to better monitor and control costs to ensure expenditures are within amounts approved and levied to homeowners.

As of December 31, 2021, no revenues have been received for any of the districts. The first installment of the assessments was received during the last week of January 2022.

Based on the amounts received for the first installment for each of the districts, staff believes that budgeted revenue numbers would be achieved by the end of the fiscal year.

Actual expenditure amounts shown for each district represent costs that have been paid through December 31, 2021. These costs are typically lower than actual costs incurred due to the time lag between when services are provided by contractors and the time their invoices are submitted and paid. In July 2019, a Proposition 218 Public Hearing was held resulting in a majority protest from LMD #2 property owners. For LMD #2, the budget

Page 219 of 314 ends

eliminated all parkway maintenance, the slope maintenance along Norco Hills Road, and all trail fence replacement but repays the City the deficit funded by the City over the next six years. However, since the budget was approved, City Council has authorized expending funds to provide essential maintenance above the amount of revenues estimated to be derived from the district. These actions will continue to result in City funds being used to cover the revenue shortfall in the district.

Staff have met with City Engineer to discuss the feasibility of a Proposition 218 Public Hearing prior to the approval of Engineer’s estimate for FY 2022-2023. Based on insufficient cost data, time constraints and other logistical issues, it has been determined that a Proposition 218 Public Hearing should be deferred until next year to allow sufficient time to address these issues.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This report is informational. Budget changes identified as a result of the second quarter budget to actual review are being included in the mid-year budget amendment staff report.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

The Second Quarter Report is consistent with Strategic Direction #3 – Economic Development and Financial Stability “Assure financial stability by expanding economic development, diversifying revenue sources and continuing prudent financial management.”

Measure R Citizens' Oversight
Committee

STAFF REPORT
Date: January 26, 2022 Agenda Item:

1.B.

To: Honorable Chair and Committee Members
Prepared By: Lisette Free, Finance Director
Department: Finance
SUBJECT:

Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Second Quarter Measure R Budget Performance Report RECOMMENDATION:

Receive and File the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Second Quarter Measure R Budget Performance Report and recommend transmittal to the City Council SUMMARY:

One of the Department’s annual goals is to timely inform the Measure R Citizen’s Committee (“Committee”) on actual operating budget results relative to Measure R’s annual adopted budget. This report provides information on how actual results through December 31, 2021, compared to the adopted budget. Any significant variances identified as a result of reviewing/analyzing the budget performance through December 31, 2021 have been recommended as a mid-year budget amendment.

BACKGROUND:

As part of revenue and expenditure reporting and monitoring program, staff has provided the Committee with quarterly budget performance reports. This report provides information as of the second quarter ended December 31, 2021. As a result of timing differences, the first six months of actual recorded data may not serve as accurate prediction of what the year-end numbers are likely to be at June 30, 2022. With this in mind, these numbers have been analyzed in conjunction with other historic and currently available data in order to identify material variances with the adopted budget. This is the third full year of Measure R.

Attachment A provides a summary of revenues and expenditures for each of Measure R approved projects through December 31, 2021. Attachment B provides a summary of the project's budget performance from inception through December 31, 2021.

As part of this review, transactions and use tax revenue has also been revised based on the amount received year-to-date and the estimated amount yet to be received for the remainder of the FY 2021-2022. At the beginning of the fiscal year, total Measure R revenues was estimated at $5,867,000. When the budget was developed in June, there was significant uncertainty regarding the potential impact of the coronavirus pandemic on revenue. Despite the coronavirus pandemic, the City saw significant growth in Measure R transaction and use tax during FY 2020-2021. Early FY 2021-2022 data suggests that the strong growth in sales tax revenue experienced during FY 2020-2021 is continuing.

So, the outlook in FY 2021-2022 is favorable as the impacts on city revenues from the coronavirus pandemic continues to diminish. Through the month of October 2021, actual Measure R Transactions and Use Tax receipts totaled $2,656,165. Based on actual receipts through October 2021, staff is revising estimated revenue from $5,867,000 to $7,968,496, representing an increase of $2,101,496.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This report is informational. Budget changes identified as a result of the second quarter budget to actual review are being included in the mid-year budget amendment staff report.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item is consistent with Strategic Directive No. 3 - Assure financial stability by identifying new revenue sources and continuing prudent financial management.

STAFF REPORT
Date: March 2, 2022 Agenda Item:

5.A.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Prepared By: Dana Roa, City Clerk
Department: City Clerk
SUBJECT:

Review of Rules of Procedure for City Council Meetings.

RECOMMENDATION:

Review City Council Meetings Rules of Procedure and provide feedback or changes as appropriate.

SUMMARY:

The rules and regulations for City Council meetings are amended from time-to-time in order to provide guidelines for the conduct of the public business by, or on behalf of, the City Council.

BACKGROUND:

On August 4, 2021, Council Member Kevin Bash requested that a discussion be brought back to City Council related the process for the Mayor to add items to the agenda.

The Rules of Procedure currently state:

B. SUBMISSION OF AGENDA ITEMS:

Items placed on the agenda shall be requested by a City Council Member or City Staff. Deadlines for placing items on the City Council agenda will be set and determined by the City Manager. A City Council Member wishing to place a matter on a future City Council agenda shall first obtain majority approval of the City Council.

Likewise, any City Council Member wishing to refer a matter to a Commission shall obtain majority approval of the City Council before the matter may be agendized by the Commission. Majority approval shall be obtained at the request of a City Council Member during the “City Council/City Manager/Staff Communications” portion of the City Council agenda and while the matter may be described, there may be no substantive discussion of the matter by the City Council.

Page 233 of 314 ends

The City Clerk sent out a survey question through the City Clerk List Serve asking for Cities to provide feedback on how items are placed on the agenda in their Cities. 22 Cities provided their answers (Attachment A). The majority answer was that the Mayor and all Council Members have the ability to add items to the agenda with a quorum vote of their peers, no one individual is authorized to add items on their own. This is in line with our current practice of adding items to the agenda.

The City Clerk has provided information for the City Council to review and determine if the Rules of Procedures should be amended at this time. If it is determined that changes are to be made a Resolution will be brought back to City Council for final approval.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

Strategic Direction #2: Engage with the community through excellent customer services, communication and programs.

Exhibit A
City Rules of Procedure - Adding Items to Agenda
Alisa Viejo 1. Placing an Item on the Agenda by a City Council Member. a. Any City Council Member may place an item on a future Agenda when stated under the “Council Announcements/Council
Comments/Committee Updates” Section, and upon direction of City Council, Staff shall prepare staff reports and/or written recommendations on items placed on the agenda by individual City Council Members.
b. The City Council Member may add an item to the Agenda at any time as long as the Agenda procedures are followed. Staff shall not prepare staff reports or written recommendations on items placed on the agenda by individual City Council Members, but shall include as part of the agenda any materials submitted by the individual City Council Member.

Chico Process requires a vote of the Council to add the discussion item to the agenda. On our agenda we have an item that is “Councilmember requests”. Any Councilmember can request that an item be agendized.

At that point the Council will vote whether or not the item will be added to the agenda at a future date.

Chula Vista 1. At a City Council Meeting. Since a majority of the Council must act collectively to place an item on the agenda; the preferred method of doing so would be to take action at an open meeting. The Council can vote at a City Council meeting to place an item on the agenda for an upcoming meeting. This method insures that the action complies with the Brown Act, and avoids any appearance of impropriety.

2. Outside of a City Council Meeting. Some items of business may be of such an urgent nature that there is not sufficient time to allow a public vote prior to its addition to an agenda. In these circumstances, the City Council members may communicate outside an open meeting for the limited purpose of determining whether a majority of the members agree to add an item to the agenda. No substantive discussions may take place.

Cotati We have a standing agenda item called Direction on Future Agenda Items at each meeting. This allows the Mayor and/or Councilmembers time to make their requests to staff on topics they’d like to see agendized at future meetings. I notate each request in the minutes too.

Fort Bragg City Council. A Councilmember may request that an item be considered on a future agenda and, upon agreement of a majority of Council, staff will prepare a staff report if formal Council action is required. Councilmembers may make this request verbally during a meeting or may submit written requests to the Mayor and/or City Manager. Normally, the process involves two steps: initial consideration of the request by the full Council at the soonest possible regularly scheduled meeting; and, if a majority agrees, the matter will be scheduled for further consideration on an upcoming Council or Council Committee agenda.

Fortuna Mayor can request items to be added to the agenda through the City Manager. City Manager approves.

Kingsburg Our Mayor is only ceremonial and doesn’t hold any power above other council members. For any council member to add something to the agenda council has to agree to add it (we have ‘Future Agenda Items” towards the end of our agenda. The Council Member then must research the item and be the sponsor.

Los Angeles The City of LA process is probably unique in the Clerk world. The City of LA has 15 (district) Council members and our Council meetings are Tues, Wed, and Friday at 10am. (For the pandemic, the Friday meetings have been canceled. ) The 15 Councilmembers are in Chambers and are lead by one of the 15 members voted as Council President. (The public is still remote via zoom.) The Mayor is the Executive Branch and does not serve on the Council. (We do not have a City Manager. ) Items are introduced in one of two ways; a report by a Department (including Mayor, City Attorney, or Controller - our Citywide elected offices) is submitted to the Clerk or a motion is made and seconded in Council by members. Reports and motions are referred to Committee to satisfy public hearings and to deliberate but the President of the Council can opt to have any introduced item added to an agenda.

Garden Grove B-1. AGENDA, PREPARATION OF
An agenda shall be prepared for each Regular Meeting containing the specific items of business to be transacted and the order thereof. Items of business may be placed on the agenda by the City Manager, his representative, the City Attorney or by a majority vote of the City Council.

Page 235 of 314 ends

Exhibit A
Irvine The Mayor has the ability to add an item to the agenda on his/her own. Any items initiated by Councilmembers must be done jointly.

Below is an excerpt from our City Council Policies and Procedures manual that speaks to this process. Councilmembers wishing to place items on City Council Agendas shall adhere to the following:
a) All Councilmember initiated items must either be (i) jointly initiated by two Councilmembers, or (ii) initiated by the Mayor. b) Items Not Requiring a Staff Report: Requests shall be presented in a memorandum to the City Manager, with a copy to the Mayor and City Council, no less than one week prior to the next scheduled City Council meeting. c) Items Requiring a Staff Report: Requests shall be presented in a memorandum to the City Manager, with a copy to the Mayor and City Council, no less than two weeks prior to the next scheduled City Council meeting.

Laguna Hills The City Manager determines which items are placed on the agenda and the timing for scheduling such items. Council Members may request items be placed on a future agenda for purposes of discussion, provided at least one other Council Member concurs with the request. All such requests shall be made during the “City Council Member Comments” portion of the City Council agenda. If at least two Council Members, upon consensus, agree to have an item placed on a future agenda, such item shall be placed under the “Matters Agendized and Presented by City Council Members” portion of the City Council agenda on a future agenda for discussion.

Lake Elsinore My Mayor & Council send a request either to me or the City Manager and the two of us discuss if/when it should be agendized and strategize together.

Lake Tahoe Items need to be requested at the end of each meeting with the consent of another Councilmember.

Los Altos Hills We have this provision in our code. Basically any councilmember can add something to the agenda under “Council Initiated.” They then have to get consensus from the majority of the Council before staff will be instructed to work on a topic. The Mayor is elected from the Council and has no added power to add an item to the agenda (other than this Council Initiated provision).

Monrovia Our directly elected Mayor has no greater power than the other ouncilmembers. To add something to an agenda for action, it must be done during a meeting with a majority directing staff to bring an item for consideration at a future meeting. For discussion only items, any member of the City Council, including Mayor, may ask the City Manager to add an item.

Oroville Our city policy is that the Mayor OR 2 council members together can place items on the agenda.

Santa Monica (c) Any Councilmember or the City Manager may direct that any matter within the City Council’s jurisdiction be placed upon the Agenda. Councilmembers should endeavor to submit Councilmember agenda items as follows: (1) for regular meetings, by 3:00 p.m. on Thursday in order to ensure that matters will be agendized for the following Tuesday; and (2) for special meetings, by 3:00 p.m. on the day two days before the day of the special meeting. Subject to Brown Act requirements, items submitted after 3:00 p.m. on the specified day will be agendized for the next regular meeting, unless the Councilmember has identified an urgency requiring that the matter be added to the current agenda.

Sunnyvale Sunnyvale’s Charter Section 616. Proceedings provides the City Manager responsibility for adding items to City Council meeting agendas.

Council Policy 7.3.19 Council Meetings expands authority to the Mayor and a majority of the City Council during a Council meeting. The Mayor and City Council work collaboratively to add items to future Council agendas and discuss the order of items on a particular meeting agenda.

Town of Windsor Any Councilmember may request an agenda item under the Future Agenda Items portion of the Council agenda. If there is no objection, the request will be deemed submitted to the Town Manager for scheduling on a future agenda. If there is an objection to a request, the Councilmember shall make a motion to agendize the requested item for a future meeting. If the motion receives a second, the request will be deemed submitted to the Town manager for scheduling on a future agenda. If the Councilmember believes that the requested item should be scheduled for a specific date, that should be stated as part of the request.

Truckee We have a Mayor Manager form of governance. The mayor is one of five Council members. They all have the ability under Council reports to request an item be placed on a future agenda. They just need a quorum to agree.

Upland We require two Councilmembers (regardless of whether it’s the Mayor or another member) and then the City Manager decides the timeline for placing the item on the agenda.

West Sacramento A council member that has an interest in pursuing an item that will require a significant amount of staff time or other resources should take the following steps:

1. No later than Thursday prior to a council meeting, the council member should advise the City Clerk of the subject matter he/she would like discussed. This may be done in writing or simply through an oral request.

2. Upon receipt of the request, the City Clerk will place the item on the agenda under the heading “Future Agenda Item Requests by Council Members.” If the submitting council member provided supporting information, it will be included in the agenda packet.

3. When the item is considered, the council will take action as to whether staff resources should be further allocated to the matter. If appropriate and approved by the council, the matter may be referred to staff and returned to the council for additional action.

Adopt Resolution No. 2022-17, approving various mid-year amendments to the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 annual operating budget and authorizing changes in appropriations and revenues thereto.

SUMMARY:

Staff has completed a mid-year review of the annual operating budget in order to determine appropriate adjustments based on new and/or updated information that were not available when the proposed budget was approved in June 16, 2021. As a result of the mid-year review of the operating budget, staff is recommending that the City Council approve the following changes as outlined in Attachment A:

1. Increase total projected General Fund revenues by $3,196,311

2. Increase total projected General Fund appropriation by $254,932

3. Increase total projected Measure R revenues by $2,101,496

BACKGROUND:

The City’s operating budget for Fiscal Year 2021-2022 was adopted by the City Council on June 16, 2021 for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022. American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Fund was adopted by the City Council on October 20, 2021.

The proposed mid-year budget adjustments are necessary to reflect information that has become available since the budget was adopted and to incorporate necessary adjustments based on operating results for the first six months of the Fiscal Year.

The recommended operating budget changes are detailed below as follows.

Proposed General Fund Revenue Adjustments:

1. Property Taxes: Property tax revenues are estimated based on the assessed value of taxable real property in the City. The City’s assessed value information was made available by the County in October of 2021 after the budget was adopted. Based on actual tax receipts to date, it is anticipated that total receipts for the fiscal year will be higher than current budget by $43,698 mainly due to better performance from residual tax increment.

2. Sales Tax: Sales tax is a major component of General Fund revenues. At the beginning of the fiscal year, total sales tax revenues was estimated at $8,582,389.

When the budget was developed in June, there was significant uncertainty regarding the potential impact of the coronavirus pandemic on revenue. Despite the coronavirus pandemic, the City saw significant growth in sales tax during FY 2020-2021. Early FY 2021-2022 data suggests that the strong growth in sales tax revenue experienced during FY 2020-2021 is continuing. So, the outlook in FY 2021-2022 is favorable as impacts on sales tax revenues from the coronavirus pandemic continues to diminish. Sales tax revenue is also greatly benefiting from the operations of a national used car dealer that commenced operation in the City earlier than anticipated and is performing better than anticipated when the current budget numbers were developed; and from surging gas prices which has become the second largest revenue contributor. Through the month of November 2021, actual sales tax receipts totaled $4,207,350. Based on actual receipts through November 2021, staff is revising estimated revenue from $8,582,389 to $10,097,640, representing an increase of $1,569,251. This revision is consistent with the recent projection provided by HDL, the City’s sales tax consultant.

3. Other Taxes: General Fund revenues included in this category consist of public safety sales tax, business license tax, transient occupancy tax, property transfer tax and satellite wagering. Based on actual revenues received through January 31, 2022, staff is recommending increasing the amount projected for this revenue category by $583,018 due to better than anticipated performance in public safety sales tax, property transfer tax and transient occupancy tax. The property transfer tax increase is due to the robust real estate market where sales volume and prices have been accelerating. Transient occupancy tax increase is due to recovery in the hotel industry as travel restrictions from COVID-19 were lessened.

4. Franchise Fees: Although the City has not received any revenues from electric and gas franchises as of January 31, 2022, receipts from cable television and refuse franchises are trending better than anticipated by $37,079.

Page 238 of 314 ends

5. Property Tax In-Lieu of Vehicle License Fee (VLF): Since 2004, VLF has been allocated as property tax in-lieu of VLF to cities based on assessed value of real properties in each city. Based on actual revenue received through January 31, 2022, it is estimated that total year-end revenue will exceed current budget by $41,068. The projected increase is due to growth in assessed valuation.

6. Fines and Penalties: This category comprises of vehicle and Municipal Code related violation fines. Projected revenues are anticipated to be less than current budget amount by $32,682 mainly due to lower code enforcement fines.

7. Interest Income/Lease: The City is anticipating decrease in revenues of $310,797 due to revenues from the Silverlakes ground and parking lease deferment until September 2023. The deferment period was inadvertently not correctly factored when the FY 2021-2022 budget was prepared and adopted.

8. Community Development Fees: Community development fees consist of planning, engineering and building fees. These revenues are estimated at the beginning of the fiscal year based on the anticipated level of development activities. More information is now available that shows more revenues than previously anticipated will be received from CapRock’s Saddle Ranch and Palomino development projects. Revenues are also projected higher because of expected receipt of development fees before the end of the fiscal year from a hotel development project. The increase in revenue from CapRock projects is due to a change in the methodology used to calculate electrical, plumbing and mechanical permit fees. These fees are now calculated on square feet basis. Revenues are recommended to be increased by $1,122,927.

9. Community Services Revenues: This category includes recreation activities fees, facilities rental, Wee-People Program and revenues related to special events.

Overall revenue projection for this category is expected to increase by $67,679 as restrictions are lifted from the Coronavirus pandemic.

10.Other Revenues: This revenue category includes receipts from dog license, Emergency Medical Subscription (EMS), business license renewal and processing fees, penalties, refuse billing and collection, fire inspection fees, etc. More information is now available that shows higher receipts than previously anticipated from emergency medical subscription, fire inspection fees and other miscellaneous revenues. Consequently, revenues are recommended to be increased by $75,069.

11.Overhead Cost Allocation Reimbursements: This category includes transfer from other funds for reimbursement of administrative overhead. There are no changes recommended as result of this mid-year budget review.

Proposed General Fund Expenditure Adjustments:

Administration Department: Administration department budget consists of the City Manager’s Office, City Clerk, Economic Development and Human Resources. The budget is recommended to be increased by $16,250 to replace scanning equipment and conference room chairs.

Page 239 of 314 ends

Community Development: Community development department includes planning, building and safety, and code enforcement. There are no changes recommended as result of this mid-year budget review.

Community Services: This department includes recreation services, special events, youth and teen services, senior citizens program, and animal control. There are no changes recommended as result of this mid-year budget review.

Facilities and Maintenance: Expenditures in this department are for Facilities and Parks Maintenance costs. The budget is recommended to be increased by $78,829 due to contractual services for unexpected repairs at various locations (Ingalls bleachers repairs due to rust, Fire Station #57 water mainline break repairs and the demolition of an office trailer located at the former Norco Public Library) and small office equipment.

Fire/Emergency Medical Services: The budget in this department provides funding for the cost of the contract between the City and Riverside County/Cal Fire for fire protection and emergency medical services response. During the annual budget process, staff reduced the budget estimate provided by the County based on historical trends. As part of this mid-year budget review, staff has reviewed the budget based on the invoices received/paid for the first quarter of the fiscal year and the updated budget estimate provided by the County. Based on this review, no changes are recommended.

Fiscal and Support Services Department: There are no changes recommended as result of this mid-year budget review.

Legislative Department: Expenditures in this department are for City Council and City Attorney costs. There are no changes recommended as result of this mid-year budget review.

Non-Departmental: The costs included in non-departmental are General Fund costs that are not budgeted in any specific department. These costs generally benefit multiple departments and consist mainly of expenditures for excess liability insurance, excess workers compensation insurance, retiree health insurance premiums, contributions to pre-fund retiree health insurance liabilities, self-insurance liability and workers compensation claim settlements, professional and consultant services, accrued pension liability costs for the dissolved fire department employees, etc. Based on actual expenditures to date, staff is recommending that appropriation be increased by $159,853 as a result of an additional assessment for general liability approved by PERMA JPA Board.

Sheriff’s Department: The costs included in this department consists mainly of costs associated with the City’s law enforcement contract with Riverside County. The cost for the department is largely determined based on Riverside County law enforcement contract rates. At the time the FY 2021-2022 budget was approved, the contract rate was estimated to increase by 5.25%. The County now believes that the contract rate will increase by 4.12%. The estimated budget savings from the rate reduction will be used to fund costs for the addition of a Dedicated Traffic Deputy which is anticipated to start towards the end of the fiscal year.

General Fund Balance:

The City’s operating budget for Fiscal Year 2021-2022 was adopted by the City Council on June 16, 2021 for Fiscal Year July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022. The initial adopted budget had a projected deficit in the amount of $677,130 mainly due to the economic uncertainty of the Coronavirus Pandemic. The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Fund budget was adopted by the City Council on October 20, 2021. As a result of the ARPA budget adoption and additional budget amendments approved by City Council, the amended General Fund reserves amount increased by $1,373,302. The recommended mid-year adjustments will result in a net increase to the previously estimated General Fund reserves amount by $2,941,379 because of the $3,196,311 increase in projected revenues and $254,932 increase in projected expenditures during this mid-year budget review. The General Fund estimated fund balance as of June 30, 2022 is $20,948,483 before any contribution to PARS as discussed below.

PARS Pension Stabilization Rate Program:

The City Council approved the adoption of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 115 Pension Rate Stabilization Program Trust Administered by the Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) on August 18, 2021. Based on the Policy approved by the City Council to implement PARS Pension Rate Stabilization Program, the initial amount of contribution for Fiscal Year 2021-2022 is determined by City Council based on the following items:
• A percentage of FY 2020-2021 General Fund surplus as determined by City Council. The surplus is defined as the amount by which total actual General Fund revenues exceeds total actual General Fund expenditures, measured as of June 30, 2021. This amount shall be calculated based on final audited financial statements. Pro-rata contributions shall be made from the Water and Sewer Funds based on average payroll of each fund for the last five fiscal years – FY 2017 through FY 2021. The surplus amount based on the final audited financial statements is $1,762,216.
• Savings from annual pre-payment of FY 2021-2022 UAL pension contribution to CalPERS ($67,500), and
• Allocation from the Special Asset Revenue Fund ($1,000,000).

Staff made the initial contribution of $1,067,500 from the $67,500 savings from the annual pre-payment UAL pension contribution and $1,000,000 from the Special Asset Revenue Fund as previously directed by City Council. As part of the mid-year review, staff is recommending for City Council to determine the percentage of the FY 2020-2021 General Fund surplus in the amount of $1,762,616 to be contributed to the Pension Rate Stabilization Program Trust. Once the percentage is determined by City Council, the contribution will be appropriated from the General Fund. Pro-rata contributions will be made from the Water and Sewer Funds based on City Council approved Policy. The amount of contribution determined by City Council will reduce corresponding General Fund reserve and Water and Sewer Funds working capital.

OTHER FUNDS
Measure R Revenues:

Measure R transactions and use tax revenue has also been revised based on the amount received year-to-date and the estimated amount yet to be received for the remainder of the FY 2021-2022. At the beginning of the fiscal year, total Measure R revenues was estimated at $5,867,000. When the budget was developed in June, there was significant

Page 241 of 314 ends

uncertainty regarding the potential impact of the coronavirus pandemic on revenue.

Despite the coronavirus pandemic, the City saw significant growth in Measure R transactions and use tax during FY 2020-2021. Early FY 2021-2022 data suggests that the strong growth in sales tax revenue experienced during FY 2020-2021 is continuing.

So, the outlook in FY 2021-2022 is favorable as the impacts on city revenues from the coronavirus pandemic continues to diminish. Through the month of November 2021, actual Measure R Transactions and Use Tax receipts totaled $3,334,252. Based on actual receipts through November 2021, staff is revising estimated revenue from $5,867,000 to $7,968,496, representing an increase of $2,101,496. Measure R Citizen’s Oversight Committee approved the Measure R mid-year amendments on their January 26, 2022 meeting (Attachment C).

Gas Tax Revenue:

The City recently received the State Department of Finance’s revised gas tax revenue estimates for Fiscal Year 2021-2022. Based on this revision, total gas tax revenue for FY 2021-2022 is expected to increase by $42,426 as detailed in Attachment A.

SB-1 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Fund:

Based on revised estimates from the State, SB-1 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation account revenues are projected to be more than the amount previously included in the budget. The projected increase is $88,065.

Supplemental Law Enforcement Grant:

The City receives allocation from the State to supplement the cost of law enforcement.

The City has been informed that our FY 2021-2022 allocation will be $61,285 higher than the amount previously included in the budget.

Proposed Water & Sewer Fund Adjustments:

A review of Water Fund actual revenues through January 2022 indicates that total revenues are tracking slightly less than the original budget estimates. Expenditures are tracking according to the approved expenditure budget. Water revenue trends tend to be at their highest in the fall months due to hotter weather while revenue trends decrease in the spring months. Staff is recommending a decrease by $440,813 due to lower consumption and decrease in shut-offs revenues because of the state’s extension of shutoff moratorium.

Sewer fund revenues which primarily consist of fixed charges were also reviewed through January 2022 and determined to be slightly less than the original budget estimates by $122,231. Similarly, expenditures are tracking in line with budget.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Attachment A provides a summary of the proposed budget amendments while Attachment B provides a recapitulation of the impact of the recommended changes on the estimated fund balance of the General Fund.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

The Mid-Year Budget Amendment Report is consistent with Strategic Direction #3 – Economic Development and Financial Stability “Assure financial stability by expanding

STAFF REPORT
Date: March 2, 2022 Agenda Item:

6.A.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Prepared By: Alma Robles, Planning Director
Department: Planning
SUBJECT:

Zone Code Amendment 2021-04 (City of Norco): An amendment to Title 18 (Zoning) of the Norco Municipal Code to establish Objective Development Standards (ODS) that will apply to any housing development project or mixed used housing project that, pursuant to State law, requires ministerial approval, or may be subject to discretionary review.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2022-18, recommending approval of the Objective Development Standards; and
Adopt Ordinance 1080, at its First Reading, recommending approval of Zone Code Amendment 2021-04; schedule the Second Reading on March 16, 2022.

SUMMARY:

Objective Development Standards (ODS): The proposed ODS, once adopted by the City of Norco will be used to evaluate multi-family residential and mixed-use development applications, and provide direction to developers and property owners on the key design components to streamline the project approval process. The proposed ODS will also be used as developments standards and design guidelines for projects that are not subject to ministerial review. The ODS will be adopted under separate resolution and will consist of a separate document but that will be referenced in the Norco Municipal Code (NMC).

Zoning Code Amendment 2021-04: Amendments to the NMC Chapter 18.02 "Definitions", Chapter 18.17 - "R-3 Low Density Multiple-Family Residential", and Chapter

18.64 - "Housing Development Overlay (HDO) Zone" are required to empower the Objective Development Standards.

BACKGROUND:

OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS

Page 252 of 314 ends

Purpose: Attached as Exhibit "A" - are the proposed ODS document. This document consists of standards that provide objective criteria to be used as the basis for project approval or denial when a project is eligible for ministerial approval. The ODS would apply to projects that consists of housing or mixed use housing projects in either the R-3 or HDO zone that comply with Senate Bill (SB) 35 for ministerial approval, and for projects in the HDO zone that are proposed with 20 percent affordability and on sites that are being re-used from the previous housing element cycle.

Project applications eligible for this process shall receive a ministerial, non-subjective review. The ODS are proposed for adoption by the City of Norco to comply with California Senate Bill 35 and Government Code Section 65913.4. SB 35 requires cities and counties to streamline review and approval of eligible affordable housing projects through a ministerial process, exempting such projects from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). This process does not allow public hearings to consider the merits of the project; rather only design review or public oversight of the development is allowed, which must be objective and strictly focused on assessing compliance with criteria required for streamlined projects as well as objective design review of the project (Section 65913.4(c)(1)).

SB 35 requires the availability of a streamlined ministerial approval process for multifamily residential developments in jurisdictions that have not yet made sufficient progress toward meeting their regional housing need allocation (RHNA) goal for construction of abovemoderate income housing and/or housing for units below 80% area median income (AMI).

As a part of this streamlining process, cities are required to establish ODS for multifamily residential development.

SB 35 defines an ODS as one that involves “no personal or subjective judgment by a public official and is uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant…and the public official prior to submittal.”
The proposed ODS will also be used as developments standards and design guidelines for projects that are not subject to ministerial review in the HDO zone.

Applicability: These development standards apply to proposals for new multifamily and mixed use development within the City of Norco. According to the parameters set forth by Senate Bill 35, the Streamlined Ministerial Process shall be available to proposed communities having at least 10% of units priced to be affordable to households making at or below 80% of the Average Median Income level (AMI), prior to calculating any density bonus.

The site must meet the “infill” requirements (SB 35 definition), and be zoned for residential or mixed-use development. The applicant must also demonstrate that the site is not within Prime Farmland, or farmland within statewide importance, wetlands, a very high fire hazard zone, an earthquake fault zone, special flood hazard area, protected habitat area, or a conservation easement.

User Guide: The ODS are structured to create an easily understood document using accessible language and imagery to streamline the approval process. A baseline index of quality is established while creativity is encouraged, and deviations are allowed on a case by case basis.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 16, 2022
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed ODS at their last meeting and had several comments:
• Phasing plan, need to clarify and add details regarding project phasing and what common area amenities are built with each phase of housing. • No exterior balconies beyond the 25’ height.
• Provide off-street parking standards for trailer parking minimum 10’ by 40’ and provide turning radius examples.
• Limit compact stall, if applicable.
• Clarity on the amenities, what size is a small or large amenity and more detail of each.

These comments have been incorporated into the document included in the Council's packet.

ZONING CODE AMENDMENTS
In order to implement the ODS, there are multiple sections of the Norco Municipal Code that need to be amended.
• Chapter 18.02 "Definitions" is proposed to be amended by adding a new definition for ODS. The definition is proposed to read: "Objective Development Standards:

Those that “involve no personal or subjective judgement by a public official and are uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant and public official prior to submittal.”; and
• Chapter 18.17 "R-3 Low Density Multiple-Family Residential" is proposed to be amended by adding a new section, Section 18.17.44, to read as follows: "Any project within the R-3 zone that qualifies for ministerial approval in compliance with State law shall follow the the Objective Development Standards adopted by the City"; and

Page 254 of 314 ends

• Chapter 18.64 "Housing Development Overlay (HDO) Zone" is proposed to be amended by adding the following new sections:
• Section 18.64.14 R. Any project within the HDO zone that qualifies for ministerial approval in compliance with State law shall follow the the Objective Development Standards adopted by the City".
• Section 18.64.14 S. The Objective Development Standards adopted by the City of Norco shall serve as the design and developments standards/guidelines for all projects that are not subject to ministerial approval. When not subject to ministerial approval, these standards can be modified at the discretion of the Planning Commission and/or the City Council.

CEQA: In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), the proposed Ordinance has been deemed to be exempt from further environmental review as there is no possibility that the proposed Ordinance would have a significant impact on the environment pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). The project will not result in any increase in the intensity or density of any land use above what’s currently allowed. Staff is recommending that a Notice of Exemption be prepared and be filed in accordance with CEQA Guidelines.

Noticing: Legal noticing was provided in the Press Enterprise on February 19, 2022 and met the requirements for public hearings.

Conclusion: These ODS are intended to supplement the Municipal Code by providing additional parameters for development within the Housing Development Overlay (HDO) zone into low-density multiple-family residential living areas compatible with the City's rural environment. Such areas are envisioned as being so located and designed as to be complementary to adjacent activities and at the same time provide suitable space for those who prefer and/or need multiple-family living quarters.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no financial impact.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

Adopting a Zoning Code Amendment pertinent to the the City's Housing Element to comply with State requirements is consistent with Strategic Direction #3 - Economic Development and Financial Stability.

Chapter 1: Introduction
OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS • MARCH 2, 2022 1

1.1 Overview & Purpose
These Objective Design Standards have been adopted by the City of Norco to evaluate residential and mixed-use development applications, and provide direction to developers and property owners on the key design components to streamline the project approval process. The standards also encourage development of workforce housing compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and the overall character of the City of Norco, while also ensuring a high level of design quality, and appropriate site planning.

This document addresses changes in California State laws by placing an emphasis on standards that provide objective criteria to be used as the basis for project approval or denial. Project applications eligible for this process (refer to Section 1.2, Applicability) shall receive a ministerial, non-subjective review. These standards have been adopted by the City of Norco to comply with California Senate Bill 35, and accordingly apply to the ministerial approval of proposals for new multifamily and mixed use development within the City of Norco that qualify as an “SB35” project.

Additionally, these Design Standards may be used as design guidelines for the discretionary review of multifamily and mixed-use development proposed within the City of Norco that does not qualify as an SB35 project and therefore does not qualify for ministerial review.

1.2 Applicability
Senate Bill (“SB”) 35 Government Code Section 65913.4
SB 35 requires cities and counties to streamline review and approval of eligible affordable housing projects through a ministerial process, exempting such projects from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). This process does not allow public hearings to consider the merits of the project; rather only design review or public oversight of the development is allowed, which must be objective and strictly focused on assessing compliance with criteria required for streamlined projects as well as objective design review of the project (Section 65913.4(c)(1).

According to the parameters set forth by Senate Bill 35, the Streamlined Ministerial Process shall be available to proposed communities having at least 10% of units priced to be affordable to households making at or below 80% of the Average Median Income level (AMI), prior to calculating any density bonus. Additionally, the project site must meet the “infill” requirements (SB 35 definition), and be zoned for residential or mixed-use development. The applicant must also demonstrate that the site is not within Prime Farmland, or farmland within statewide importance, wetlands, a very high fire hazard zone, an earthquake fault zone, special flood hazard area, protected habitat area, or a conservation easement.

As a part of this streamlining process, cities are required to establish objective design standards for multifamily residential development.

SB 35 defines an objective design standard as one that involves “no personal or subjective judgment by a public official and is uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant… and the public official prior to submittal.”

Chapter 1: Introduction
OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS • MARCH 2, 2022 3

1.3 User Guide
The Objective Design Standards are for residents, property and business owners, developers and builders, architects and designers, and City staff involved in the review and approval process of multifamily and/or mixed-use development in City of Norco. The following steps are a quick way to understand the different sections of the document and how to use it.

Step 1: Review the General Development Standards.

Numeric standards regarding height, lot coverage, requirements for mixed-use and multi-family homes are described in this section.

Step 1: Review the Site & Landscape Design Standards.

Site Planning involves a careful analysis of the opportunities and constraints of the site, including existing features such as mature trees, topography, and drainage patterns. The components of site development extend beyond building placement and configuration, including surrounding uses, retaining walls, landscape design, hardscape considerations, and parking. The Site & Landscape Design Standards outline several requirements on these topics.

Step 2: Review the Building Design Standards.

While new projects need not copy existing development, their mass and scale shall respect adjacent building context and uses.

The General Building Design Standards establish requirements on these issues. Standards related to garage doors and entries are also established here.

Step 3: Review the Architectural Style Standards.

The design and detailing of buildings are paramount to a quality environment, and the City of Norco is committed to authentic expressions of the Western architectural style. Architectural design elements and materials shall be consistent throughout the project, recognizing that a building is 3-dimensional and must be well designed on all sides. Detailing, choice of materials, window and door choices shall reinforce the overall project design.

Step 4: Review the City of Norco Municipal Code.

All developments must comply with the standards of the Norco Municipal Code Title 18 (Zoning), and any applicable Specific Plan or Overlay Zoning District.

Step 5: Consult with the Planning Staff.

It is highly recommended for prospective applicants to obtain and become familiar with the application and submittal requirements for a project prior to a formal submittal. A pre-application meeting with City staff allows applicants to receive staff review from various departments prior to a formal application submittal.

Applicants shall follow application procedures as directed by staff.

The City of Norco Municipal Code establishes required procedures for submitting and reviewing development applications. Applicants shall follow these procedures and requirements.

Chapter 5 - Architectural Style Standards

5.1 Intent & Purpose
The City of Norco General Plan calls for a cohesive and attractive built environment in harmony with both the natural and built environments.

New residential construction is to reflect the high level of quality of existing planned communities.

The articulation of cohesive architectural elements plays a key role in creating a positive community identity. A balance between authenticity of style and contemporary interpretations of historic elements is key to achieving an attractive multifamily community.

This chapter describes the Western architectural style which speaks to the heritage of Norco as well as aspirations for the future built environment of the City.

Page 285 of 314 ends

24 CITY OF NORCO, CALIFORNIA

5.2 Western Style

5.2.1 Style Description
Building architecture shall reflect a desired Western theme and identity. Derived from the American vernacular architecture that sprang from the passing of the Homestead Act of 1862, Frontier Architecture evolved to encompass the Victorian style during the later 19th centure when milled wood became widely available. This style combines simple, rustic, forms with Victorian embellishments to create a relaxed, informal feel compatible with the spirit of the American West. Qualities that reflect the Western theme can be described as rural, informal, traditional, rustic, low profile and equestrian oriented. Conversely, qualities that are inconsistent with the Western theme are urban, formal, contemporary, sophisticated, and massive.
