6.1) Adopt Resolution No. CC 2023 -052, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Palmdale establishing the Code of Conduct for public officials; and adopt Resolution No. CC 2023 -081, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Palmdale establishing Rules of Orders for meetings of the City Council, City commissions, committees and boards.

Mayor Pro Tem Alarcon provided the following statement via email: “It is unfathomable that we would adopt a code of conduct and rules governing our City Council meetings at a “special” meeting which requires only 24 hours notice and is being held at an off-site location, rather than in Council chambers which is the location that our residents are most familiar with. Doing so is the least transparent way to adopt rules that will directly affect how our residents participate in our local governance. For these reasons, I object to this process.

It’s just not right. We can & should do better.”

Motion: Adopt Resolution No. CC 2023-052, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Palmdale establishing the Code of Conduct for public officials; and adopt Resolution No. CC 2023-081, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Palmdale establishing Rules of Orders for meetings of the City Council, City commissions, committees and boards.

SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING TO OBTAIN COMMUNITY INPUT FOR THE

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) AND HOME

INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM(HOME) GRANT FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE 2024-2025 ACTION PLAN

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council open a public hearing to obtain community input for the CBDG and HOME grants for the development of the 2024-2025 Action Plan.

BACKGROUND
As an entitlement and participating jurisdiction, the City of Palmdale receives an annual allocation of funds from HUD under its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnership (HOME) Programs. As an entitlement and participating jurisdiction, the City is required to prepare and obtain HUD approval of a Consolidated Plan covering a period of five years. The 2020 Five-year Consolidated Plan was approved by Council and submitted to HUD in June 2020. The plan addresses a variety of HUD - required issues including the City’s plan to address affordable housing and other needs of low- and moderate-income persons.

Prior to the beginning of each grant year, the City is required to submit an Annual Action Plan to HUD. This Plan discusses and identifies the actions programs, projects, and services to be provided during the fiscal year to meet the goals and objectives of the Consolidated Plan and outlines the expenditures for the allocated funds.

DISCUSSION
In preparation for the 2024-2025 Action Plan the City is seeking to obtain community input for the development of the Action Plan . Holding this public hearing is a prerequisite to receiving the annual CDBG and HOME allocation. The implementation of regulations requires that a public hearing be held to allow residents to express their views concerning the use of said funds. Staff will schedule a second Public Hearing for May 1, 2024 to allow Report to Mayor and City Council

SUBJECT ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 1627, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALMDALE APPROVING ZONING
ORDINANCE AMENDMENT 23 -0003 TO AMEND TITLE 17 AND

FINDING THAT THE AMENDMENT IS CONSISTENT WITH
PROGRAM ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT 22-002
PREPARED AND CERTIFIED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CITY’S
GENERAL PLAN (PALMDALE 2045)

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Receive public testimony regarding Ordinance No. 1627; and,

2. Adopt Ordinance No. 1627 recommending City Council approval of Z oning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) 23-0003 to amend Title 17 and finding that the amendment is consistent with PEIR 22 -002 prepared and certified in conjunction with Palmdale 2045.

BACKGROUND
On September 21, 2022, Palmdale 2045 was adopted by the City Council and replaced the previously adopted General Plan (1993). State law requires that the regulations governing the use and development of lands within the municipal limits of a ci ty be consistent with the adopted General Plan for that city. ZOA 21 -007 was adopted by the City Council on March 15, 2023, which amended Title 17 of the Palmdale Municipal Code to implement the vision of Palmdale 2045 as well as support new land use patte rns and future development. Ordinance No. 1614 was adopted by the City Council on August 16, 2023, which included minor amendments to Title 17 necessary to address inconsistencies, clarify review procedures, correct typographical errors and section references, as well as update the associated Zoning Map. Since then, City staff has identified minor amendments necessary to update definitions and cl arify review procedures.

Report to Mayor and City Council
Re: Ordinance No. 1627
December 6, 2023

Page 2 ends

DISCUSSION
ZOA 23-0003 will amend Title 17, as follows:
 Clarify measurement requirements between fueling stations  Clarify the definition of drive-through services and restaurant facility  Modify allowable uses within the permissions tables for Mixed-Use, Public Facilities and Open Space zones
 Clarify development standards for Industrial zones
 Clarify the required distance separation requirements for alcoholic beverage establishments
The proposed amendments are necessary to clarify review procedures and update definitions, in a continued effort to streamline processes and provide flexibility.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) 22-002 (State Clearinghouse # 2021060494) was certified by the City Council (Resolution No. CC 2022-096) on September 21, 2022, in conjunction with the approval of Palmdale 2045. The Final PEIR is available on the City’s website at https://palmdale2045gp.org. As part of the environmental analysis, PEIR 22-002 also considered the adoption and implementation of the comprehensive zoning code and map update. Staff review has determined that a subsequent or supplemental PEIR as described in California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sections 15162, 15163, or 15164, is not required because the proposed ZOA modifies language in the PMC to ensure compliance with the recently adopted General Plan, address inconsistencies, correct typographical errors, and would not require major revisions of the PEIR. There are also no significant changes in circumstances and there is no new information of substantial importance that will involve new significant environmental effects or increase the severity of previously identified significant effects. As such, staff concluded that the request is consistent with the previous PEIR in accordance with CEQA Guidelines and has determined that no additional environmental analysis is required.

FISCAL IMPACT
$0; There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

STRATEGIC PLAN
Goal IV: Maintain a desirable community where everyone wants to live, work and play.

B. Provide inclusive access to a variety of supportive services that build a resilient and healthy community.

B. ORDINANCE

SECTION 1. The City Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A of this Ordinance, are true and correct.

SECTION 2 . The City Council hereby finds as follows with respect to the environmental documentation:
(a) PEIR 22-002 (State Clearinghouse # 2021060494) was prepared and certified by the City Council (Resolution No. CC 2022-096) on September 21, 2022, for approval of the City’s General Plan (Palmdale 2045). As part of the environmental analysis, PEIR 22-002 also considered the adoption and implementation of the Comprehensive Zoning Code and Map update.

Staff review has determined that a subsequent or supplemental PEIR as described in California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sections 15162, 15163, or 15164, is not required because the proposed Application modifies language in the PMC to ensure compliance with the adopted General Plan and applicable laws, and would not require major revisions of the PEIR.

As such, staff concluded that the request is consistent with the previous PEIR in accordance with CEQA Guidelines.

These documents are available for public review in the Planning Division of the City of Palmdale located at 38250 Sierra Highway, Palmdale, California 93550, telephone (661) 267-5200.

SECTION 3 . Based upon substantial evidence presented to the City Council during the December 6, 2023, public hearing, including public testimony and written and oral staff reports, the City Council specifically finds as follows:
(a) The proposed ZOA conforms with the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan.
(b) The proposed ZOA is necessary to implement the General Plan and to provide the public safety, convenience and/or general welfare.

This Application will ensure consistency with the goals, policies, and objectives of Palmdale 2045, because the Application will address inconsistencies, clarify review procedures, and correct typographical errors.

SECTION 4. Based on the findings and conclusions set forth in the above Sections, and based on all other evidence in the record, the City Council hereby approves ZOA 23-0003 to amend Title 17 of the PMC, as shown in Exhibit A of this Ordinance.

SECTION 5 . Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase in this Ordinance or any part thereof is for any reason held to be unconstitutional or invalid or ineffective by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the remaining portions of this Ordinance or any part thereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared unconstitutional, or invalid, or ineffective, provided the basic purposes of this Ordinance and the benefits to the City and the public are not substantially impaired.
