AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE FOLSOM BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN, CAPTER 2 LAND USE PLAN AND ALLOWED USES AND CHAPTER 8 GLOSSARY AND TITLE 16 BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTION, CHAPTER 16.18 NUISANCE CODE, TITLE 17 FIRE PREVENTION, CHAPTER 17.12 WEED CONTROL, TITLE 23 ZONING CODE, ARTICLE 3
ZONING DISTRICTS, ALLOWABLE USES, AND GENERAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND ARTICLE 11 DEFINITIONS OF THE RANCHO CORDOVA MUNICIPAL CODE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CORDOVA DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Purpose and Declarations.
WHEREAS, the City conducts periodic updates of the provisions of the Rancho Cordova Municipal Code (RCMC) to ensure compliance with current laws, changes in local policy, consistency with adopted plans and programs, clarify ambiguities, address changing market conditions, reflect best practices, and to address issues or concerns with current regulations; and
WHEREAS, certain amendments to the Folsom Boulevard Specific Plan, Title 16 (Buildings and Construction), Title 17 (Fire Prevention) and Title 23 (Zoning Code), provide clarification of uses, standards and/or enforcement procedures, address inconsistencies between definitions, delete text that is no longer necessary and ; WHEREAS, on July 18, the City Council held a properly noticed public hearing for this Ordinance and considered all oral and written testimony.
Section 2: Findings. The City Council hereby finds:
A.CEQA Compliance. CEQA requires analysis of agency approvals of discretionary “projects.” A “project,” under CEQA, is defined as “the whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.” (CEQA Guidelines, § 15378.) As reflected in State CEQA Guideline 15061 (b) (3), an activity is not subject to CEQA, “[where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment…” The proposed amendments are not a “project” within the meaning of CEQA because the amendments seek to provide clarification of uses, standards and/or enforcement procedures, address inconsistencies between definitions, delete text that is no longer necessary. Because no expansion of uses or activities is reasonably anticipated, no possibility exists that the ordinance will result in a significant effect on the environment. Thus, the proposed ordinance is not subject to the requirements of CEQA. However, in the event that adoption of the ordinance is considered a CEQA project, it would nonetheless qualify for categorical exemptions as set forth below.
CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) states that a project is exempt from CEQA “where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” The approval of the code amendments set forth in the proposed ordinance does not approve any physical development and it would not result in a direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Any specific development projects
ITEM 9.2. ATTACHMENT 1 Ordinance No. XX-2022 Page 2 of 3
that may result from these changes will be subject to environmental review. The proposed amendments are consistent with the City’s General Plan. For these reasons, the proposed amendments would not have the potential to result in individually or cumulatively significant effects on the environment and these Municipal Code amendments are exempt from review under CEQA and no further environmental review is necessary.
B.The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan. The attached Municipal Code Amendments (“Amendment”) are consistent with the General Plan. The amendments would provide clarification of uses, standards and/or enforcement procedures, address inconsistencies between definitions, delete text that is no longer necessary.
C.The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City. The attached amendments would provide clarification of uses, standards and/or enforcement procedures, address inconsistencies between definitions, delete text that is no longer necessary None of these proposed amendments will be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.
D.The proposed amendments are internally consistent with other applicable provisions of this zoning code. The Amendments have been reviewed for consistency with the entirety of the Municipal Code and is consistent with other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code.
Section 3.Amendments to the Folsom Boulevard Specific Plan, Title 16 Buildings and Construction, Title 17 Fire Prevention and Title 23 Zoning Code The City Council hereby adopts the amendments to the Folsom Boulevard Specific Plan, Title 16 Buildings and Construction, Title 17 Fire Prevention, and Title 23 Zoning Code of the Rancho Cordova Municipal Code, as shown and incorporated in Exhibit A to this ordinance.
Section 4.Severability
If any provision of this Ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, is held invalid, the remainder of the Ordinance, including the application of such part or provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall continue in full force and effect. To this end, provisions of this Ordinance are severable. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase hereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, or phrases be held unconstitutional, invalid or unenforceable.

Article II. Enforcement
***
16.18.205 Violations and penalties.
A. Notice to Appear Citation. Law enforcement agencies and the enforcement official may issue a notice to appear citation to the property owner, any person occupying or leasing the property or premises of another, and/or other responsible party for violation of this code under the procedures set forth in Municipal Section 16.18.503(A)(5)(b)..
B. Infractions. A property owner, any person occupying or leasing the property or premises of another, and/or other responsible party who violates any provision of this code shall be guilty of an infraction. Each day, or portion thereof, a violation exists may be a new and separate offense. Any person convicted of an infraction shall be subject to payment of a fine pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 36900 of the State of California Government Code, as that section or its successor reads at the time of the offense, plus any additional penalties assessed by the court. After a third conviction of the same section of this code, subsequent violations of the same section may be charged as a misdemeanor rather than as an infraction.
C. Misdemeanor. Any person convicted of a misdemeanor under this code shall be punished by a fine of not more than $1,000, or by imprisonment not to exceed six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
D. Notwithstanding subsections (A), (B) and (C) of this section, the prosecuting authority may file a misdemeanor for any violation of this code, including a failure to obey an administrative citation as described in RCMC
1.01.190(K). In addition, the city attorney or his or her authorized designee may take other steps and apply to such court to seek any and all legal or equitable relief as permitted under law.
E. Second or Subsequent Civil or Criminal Judgment – Treble Damages. Pursuant to Section 38773.7 of the Government Code, upon entry of a second or subsequent civil or criminal judgment within a two-year period finding that an owner of property is responsible for a condition that may be abated in accordance with the abatement procedure outlined in this chapter, the court may order the owner to pay treble the costs of the abatement. This section does not apply to conditions abated pursuant to Section 17980 of the Health and Safety Code.
F. Administrative Citations.
1. Applicability. This section provides for administrative citations, which are in addition to all other legal remedies, criminal or civil, which the city may pursue to address a violation of this code. Use of this section is at the sole discretion of the city. This section is authorized under Sections 36901 and 53069.4 of the Government Code.
The procedures in this section shall not be used to enforce a continuing violation regarding building, plumbing, electrical, or other similar structural or zoning issues, without first allowing the person in violation a reasonable time to correct the violation, consistent with the procedures set forth in subsection (F)(2) of this section.
ITEM 9.2. ATTACHMENT 2 Exhibit A to the Ordinance
2. Continuing Violations of Building and Zoning Issues. If a violation is a continuing one and pertains to a building, plumbing, electrical, or other structural or zoning issue that does not create an immediate danger to health or safety, the city shall provide a reasonable period of time for the responsible person to correct or otherwise remedy the violation before the imposition of an administrative citation or penalty.
3. Administrative Citation.
a. Authority. Whenever an enforcement officer determines that a violation of any of the provisions of any of the ordinances of the city has occurred, the enforcement officer has the authority to issue an administrative citation to the person responsible for the violation. b. Contents of Citation. Each administrative citation shall contain the following information:
i. The date of the violation.
ii. The address or a definite description of the location where the violation occurred. iii. The section of the code violated and a description of the violation. iv. The amount of the fine for the code violation.
v. A description of the fine payment process, including a description of the time within which and the place to which the fine shall be paid.
vi. An order prohibiting the continuation or repeated occurrence of the code violation described in the administrative citation.
vii. A description of the administrative citation review process, including the time within which the administrative citation may be contested and the place from which a request for hearing form to contest the administrative citation may be obtained.
viii. The name and signature of the citing enforcement officer. In the case of a continuing violation involving building, plumbing, electrical, or other similar structural or zoning issues identified under subsection (F)(2) of this section, the administrative citation shall also have attached a copy of the prior notice that was sent to the responsible party.
c. Delivery of Citation. The administrative citation shall be delivered personally or sent by certified mail to the person responsible for the violation.
d. Dismissal of Citation. At any time before the hearing, if the enforcement officer determines that there was no violation as charged in the administrative citation or that the citation should be dismissed in the interest of justice, the enforcement officer shall dismiss the administrative citation, cancel the hearing, and refund any administrative citation fine.
4. Amount of Fine.
a. Maximum Amount of Fine. The maximum amount of the fine imposed for each code violation under this section is as follows:
i. One hundred dollars per day for a first violation;
ii. Two hundred dollars per day for a second violation of the same ordinance within one year; and iii. Five hundred dollars per day for each additional violation of the same ordinance within one year. b. Additional Amounts.

Late payment charges: due at the rate of 10 percent per month. iii. Compliance reinspections: based on staff time at the full-cost hourly rate. iv. Collection costs: actual collection costs.
c. Discretion of Enforcement Officer or Hearing Office – Factors in Establishing Fine. In determining the amount of the fine and additional amounts, the enforcement officer or hearing officer has the discretion to set the fine lower than the maximum amount, or to reduce the additional costs, based on any or all of the following factors:
i. The duration of the violation;
ii. The frequency, recurrence and number of violations, related or unrelated, by the same violator; iii. The seriousness of the violation;
iv. The good faith efforts of the violator to come into compliance; v. The economic impact of the fine on the violator;
vi. The impact of the violation on the community; and
vii. Such other factors as justice requires.
5. Payment of the Fine.
a. Due Date. The fine shall be paid to the city within 30 days from the date of the administrative citation.
The city may suspend the imposition of fines for any period of time during which the violator has filed for necessary permits, and such permits are required to achieve compliance, and the permit applications are actively pending before the appropriate governmental agency. b. Refund. The city shall refund a fine paid if the hearing officer determines, after a hearing held under subsection (F)(8) of this section, that the person charged in the citation was not responsible for the violation or that there was no violation as charged.
c. Further Violations Not Excused. Payment of a fine under this section shall not excuse or discharge any continuation or repeated occurrence of the code violation.
6. Hearing Request.
a. Hearing Request. A person who receives an administrative citation may contest the citation on the basis that there was no violation of the code or that he or she is not the responsible party. To contest the citation, the person shall submit a request for hearing form to the city within 30 days from the date of the administrative citation. Directions on how to obtain the request form will be provided on the administrative citation. The completed request must be submitted together with an advance deposit of the fine.

The person requesting the hearing shall be notified of the time and place set for the hearing as soon as it is set, and at least 10 days before the hearing. If the enforcement officer submits a written report concerning the citation to the hearing officer for consideration at the hearing, then a copy of the report shall be served on the person requesting the hearing at least five days before the hearing. No hearing shall be held unless the fine has been deposited in advance, under subsection (F)(6)(a) of this section. b. Failure to Appear. The failure of the person requesting the hearing to appear at the hearing shall constitute a forfeiture of the fine and a failure to exhaust his or her administrative remedies. c. At the Hearing.

At the hearing, the party contesting the citation shall be given the opportunity to testify and to present evidence concerning the citation.

The decision of the hearing officer is final, and may not be appealed.
b. Status of Fine. If the citation is upheld, then the fine amount on deposit with the city shall be retained by the city.

In addition to the administrative citation fine, the city may collect its administrative costs, interest, late payment charges, costs of compliance reinspections, and collection costs. c. Collection. The city may collect any past due administrative citation fine and other costs and charges by any available legal means, including without limitation placing a lien on the property.

When real property is involved in the violation, the original notice, the administrative citation and all notices required to be given by this section shall be served on the responsible party and, if different, to the property owner at the address as shown on the last equalized county assessment roll. If personal service or service by mail on the property owner is unsuccessful, a copy of each notice and the citation shall be conspicuously posted at the property which is the subject of the violation. The city may, in its discretion, also serve notice on a tenant, a mortgagor or any other person having an interest in the property.
c. Failure to Receive Notice. The failure of a person to receive a required notice shall not affect the validity of any proceedings taken under this section.
G. Attorneys’ Fees. Pursuant to Section 38773.5 of the Government Code, attorneys’ fees may be recovered by the prevailing party. However, in no action, administrative proceeding, or special proceeding shall an award of attorneys’ fees to a prevailing party exceed the amount of reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the city in the action or proceedings.

Article V. Abatement Generally
***
16.18.503 Notice.
A. The enforcement official shall issue a notice directed to the owner of record of the premises. The notice shall contain:
1. The street address and such other description as is required to identify the premises.
2. A statement specifying the conditions which constitute the nuisance.
3. A request that the nuisance be corrected by a date certain, which shall be a reasonable time in the judgment of the enforcement official, based upon the circumstances of the particular violation, the period of time the nuisance has existed, and the potential threat to public health and safety created by the violation. If the violation pertains to building, electrical, or other similar structural or zoning issues where the violation does not create an immediate threat to health or safety, the responsible party shall be provided not less than 10 calendar days in which to correct, abate, or otherwise remedy the violation.
4. A statement that the failure to correct or abate the nuisance may result in the nuisance being removed under authority of the city and the costs of such removal and abatement made a legal charge against the owner or owners of the property, a lien or special assessment on the property and subject to collection with property taxes in accordance with this chapter.
5. One of the following:
ITEM 9.2. ATTACHMENT 2 Exhibit A to the Ordinance
a. A statement referencing the right to appeal the enforcement official’s determination. Such statement shall provide instruction on how to request an appeal hearing, a time frame for requesting an appeal hearing, and a statement that the failure to file a timely and proper appeal shall constitute a failure to exhaust administrative remedies and preclude judicial review. The time frame for requesting an appeal shall be consistent with the date set forth by the enforcement official for correcting the violation and in no event shall the time for requesting an appeal hearing be more than 15 days from the date the notice was issued unless in the judgment of the enforcement official an extension is warranted based upon the particular circumstances of the case. If requested, a hearing shall be set no less than 10 calendar days after the request is received. Enforcement of a notice shall be stayed during the pendency of an appeal therefrom which is properly and timely filed; or
b. Order to Show Cause. In the event the owner fails, neglects or refuses to comply with any notice under this Chapter, the enforcement officer may serve an “Order to Show Cause” to show cause why the premises should not be declared a public nuisance and the same abated in accordance with this code. The order shall advise the owner that he has the option of voluntarily abating the nuisance prior to the date set for hearing. If the owner chooses voluntary abatement, such abatement must be completed prior to the hearing date. The owner must advise the enforcement official in writing that he will abate the nuisance, and the date of completion. The enforcement official will inspect the premises on the completion date, and if the nuisance has been abated, the hearing will be taken off the calendar. The owner may request a continuance of the hearing pursuant to RCMC 16.18.506. The Order to Show Cause shall be served and posted, and an affidavit filed with the City Clerk, in the manner specified in this Section.
The Order to Show Cause shall be on a form provided by the Neighborhood Services Manager or his or her designee.
Any hearing conducted pursuant to an Order to Show Cause, shall be set for a date not less than fifteen (15) days nor more than sixty (60) days from the date that the Order to Show Cause is filed in accordance with the provisions of this Chapter, unless the enforcement officer determines that the matter is urgent or that good cause exists for an extension of time, in which case the date for such hearing may be shortened or extended as warranted by the circumstances.
If the enforcement officer issues an Order to Show Cause, a copy of the Order to Show Cause shall be served on the violator in the manner described in Section 16.18.513. Where real property is involved, if the violator is not the owner of the property, a copy of the Order to Show Cause shall also be served on the property owner at the address, as it appears on the last county assessment roll available on the date the Order to Show Cause is prepared. Every Order to Show Cause shall contain the date, time, and place at which the hearing shall be conducted.
Failure of the owner or responsible party to appear at the hearing on the Order to Show Cause after notice has been served shall be deemed a waiver of the right to a hearing and an admission by such owner or responsible party of the existence of the nuisance conditions as specified. In the event of an unexcused failure to appear, the hearing officer may issue an Administrative Order as specified in this Section.
Upon the conclusion of the hearing on the Order to Show Cause, the hearing officer shall determine whether the activity or the premises, or any part thereof, as maintained, constitutes a public nuisance. If the hearing officer finds that a public nuisance does not exist, he or she shall dismiss the proceedings. If the hearing officer finds that a public nuisance does exist and that there is sufficient cause to order the abatement of the public nuisance, the hearing officer shall issue an Administrative Order, which shall contain findings of fact and shall direct and order the public nuisance abated within the time, and in the manner set forth in the Administrative Order. The Order to Show Cause hearing shall be conducted by a hearing officer as provided by Article V of this Chapter. Notwithstanding anything in this Chapter to the contrary, there shall be no right to appeal such Administrative Order.
ITEM 9.2. ATTACHMENT 2 Exhibit A to the Ordinance
6. A statement advising the owner that he may be responsible for all costs incurred by the city for any abatement activities, including hearings.
7. A statement advising the owner that, pursuant to Section 38773.5 of the Government Code, the city intends to seek recovery of attorneys’ fees incurred in any abatement activity, and that attorneys’ fees may be recovered by the prevailing party.
B. The notice, and any amended or supplemental notice, shall be served either by personal delivery or by mailing a copy by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, upon the owner of record or his/her/their address as it appears on the latest equalized assessment roll of Sacramento County, or as known to the enforcement official; a copy of the notice shall also be posted on the premises. The failure of any person to receive a notice of violation that was sent via certified mail shall not affect the validity of any enforcement proceedings under this code.
C. Proof of service of the hearing notice shall be certified by written declaration under penalty of perjury executed by the person effecting service, declaring the time, date and manner in which service was made.
D. The failure of a notice to satisfy all of the requirements of this provision shall not affect the validity of any other enforcement proceedings under this code. [Ord. 50-2004 § 6; Ord. 21-2003 §§ 2, 4; Ord. 20-2003 §§ 2, 4]. ***

RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adoption of the Resolution would authorize the City Manager to execute Construction Contract No. 2022-138 in an amount not to exceed $437,040 with Pisor Fence Division, Inc. to construct the Stormwater Fencing Replacement Program Phase 2: Bear Hollow Basin & Pump Station Project.
BACKGROUND
The Bear Hollow Basin (Basin) and Pump Station is located on the intersection of Bear Hollow Drive and North Mather Boulevard (see Attachment 2 for Project Location and Photos). This critical flood control facility was built in 2003 to capture storm runoff from a 687-acre watershed.
Since then, the Basin has become a valued community amenity in the City. Existing fencing around the Basin and Pump Station is chain link. The proposed fencing replacement project will beautify the Basin by removing the existing chain link fence, installing post and cable fence around the Basin trail perimeter, and installing decorative wrought iron fence around the pump station.
Bids for this work were solicited on the City's website and CIPList.com on June 16, 2022. Bids for the project were publicly opened on Thursday July 7, 2022. Three bids were received, and the lowest responsible and responsive bid was $437,040.00 from Pisor Fence Division, Inc.
The contract award is based on the lowest base bid, and there are no Project bid alternates.
The project is expected to be under construction starting Summer 2022 and completed by Fall 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE
City Council Staff Report - Page 2 of 2
The Stormwater Fencing Replacement Program Phase 2: Bear Hollow Basin & Pump Station Project is funded from the Stormwater Enterprise Fund. There is no impact to the City's General Fund.

DATE: August 1, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Brandon Luke, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE CONTRACT NO. 2022-87 WITH REDFLEX TRAFFIC SYSTEMS, INC.
IN A TOTAL AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $1,080,000 FOR PHOTO RED
LIGHT ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adoption of the Resolution would authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Redflex Traffic Systems for the continuation of the Red Light Photo Enforcement Program for traffic safety.
BACKGROUND
The goal of the City's Red Light Photo Enforcement Program is to improve the safety of the community for vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian traffic by reducing the incidence of vehicles failing to stop for red traffic signals. Photo enforcement programs have a proven record for reducing right angle collisions at monitored intersections in jurisdictions where similar programs have been initiated.
The City began its existing Red Light Photo Enforcement Program with Redflex Traffic Systems in 2011. Redflex cameras are installed at the intersections of Zinfandel Drive and Olson Drive, Zinfandel Drive and White Rock Road, Sunrise Boulevard and Folsom Boulevard, and Sunrise Boulevard and Coloma Road. Millions of vehicles travel through these intersections every year.
The Redflex cameras do not monitor all directions of travel at the above-listed intersections, rather only one direction of travel. Redflex cameras and signage at the intersections create a universal effect that decreases collisions in equipped intersections.
Automated Red-Light Photo Enforcement is authorized by the California Vehicle Code (Sections 21455.5 through 21455.7). The Redflex System captures still images and video of potential red-light violations. The evidence captured by Redflex is maintained in secure channels and provided to the Rancho Cordova Police Department. Police Department personnel review each possible violation to determine if the incident should be forwarded for prosecution. In instances where prosecution is desired, Reflex generates and mails a citation to
City Council Staff Report - Page 2 of 2
the violator and forwards all related evidence to the Sacramento County Courts. The violator receives still images of the incident and a photograph of the driver captured at the time of the incident. They will also be provided with a secure website to access photos and videos of the violation.
With the upcoming expiration of the City's existing contract with RedFlex Traffic System, the City desires to enter into a new three-year contract, with the option to extend an additional two years. The City desires to continue contracting with RedFlex due to the existing infrastructure and business relationship that is in place.
FISCAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE
The Red Light Photo Camera Program is budgeted for in the General Fund. The total cost of the contract is a fixed monthly fee of $4,500 per month for each of the four designated approaches in the City for a total of $216,000 annually and a total contract amount not to exceed $1,080,000. Red light camera violations cost approximately $500 per violation, of which the City receives approximately 1/3 to offset the cost of the Redflex contract in addition to RCPD staff positions to oversee the red light photo enforcement program.

If such a claim is made and Redflex determines, in the exercise of its sole discretion, that an infringement may exist, Redflex shall have the right, but not the obligation, to procure for the Customer the right to keep using the allegedly infringing items, modify them to avoid the alleged infringement or replace them with non-infringing items.
