DISTRICTS AND THE FOLSOM BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN
TABLE 2-2 USE TABLE FOR MIXED USE CLASSIFICATIONS (CEQA EXEMPT SECTION 15061(B)(3), 15301 AND 15324)

RECOMMENDATION

Waive the first reading and introduce the Ordinances.

RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION

The Ordinances would come back for a second reading and adoption at the next regular City Council meeting. Approval of the Ordinances would amend the Folsom Boulevard Specific Plan, Title 4 Business Regulation, Title 8 Animals, Title 16 Building and Construction, Title 22 Land Development, and Title 23 Zoning Code.

BACKGROUND

Periodically, amendments to the Municipal Code are necessary to address ambiguities, provide clarification, to be consistent with customary practice or comply with changes in State law. In the past, various Titles of the code have routinely been amended for these assorted reasons, as well as to include new development standards to address uses that may not be in the code.

The amendments proposed have either been previously discussed with Council or are mostly clean up items to address. Staff did not believe these minor changes warranted a discussion with the City Council prior to scheduling the amendments for a public hearing.

ANALYSIS
Attachment 6 includes all draft amendments, shown in track changes proposed. Draft

Page 376 of 538 ends

City Council Staff Report - Page 2 of 4

amendments are shown with track changes with new draft language underlined and language proposed for removal with strikethroughs. Only those chapters and/or sections with proposed changes are included in the attached documents as excerpts from the Rancho Cordova Municipal Code or Folsom Boulevard Specific Plan. A summary of the changes is provided below. As a note, Attachment 2 includes all the amendments in a non-track change format. This is provided as an exhibit to the Ordinance. Chapters 16.05, 16.10 and 16.26 are being repealed and replaced and those ordinances are included as attachments 3, 4 and 5.

Folsom Boulevard Specific Plan (FBSP)

The proposed amendment would modify the required permit for breweries, wineries and distilleries from a Conditional Use Permit to an Administrative Use Permit (AUP) on table 2-2.

The AUP would still permit the ability to place conditions on the use and has a public notification process. This would be consistent with the permit requirements for these types of uses in other areas of the city.

Title 4 Business Regulations

Chapter 4.07 Tobacco retailer license
The City’s tobacco retailer license is a comprehensive overview of requirements for tobacco retailer license in the city of Rancho Cordova. This code was amended to include the flavored tobacco in 2022. The proposed changes would revise the tobacco retailer license code to include possession with intent to sale flavored tobacco products within Rancho Cordova. Part of this proposal would ensure consistency with the State of California requirements on flavored tobacco. Additionally, updates to this code section would provide clarification and consistency with notices and enforcement action taken to retailers who violate city ordinances.

Chapter 4.50 Other Businesses
Currently, the City requires an individual to obtain a special business license in order to use public or private property for a motion picture production. This is typically a lengthy process, that requires a background check. often times, film production within the city is short term and takes less time to produce than obtaining a special business license. The proposal will still require a business license and various conditions can still be placed upon these types of licenses as outlined in Section 4.50.150 of the code. The proposed changed would lessen the wait time to obtain the permit.

Title 8 Animals

Chapter 8.03 General Provisions
The City’s Animals Code provides a comprehensive method for identification and enforcement of violations occurring in Rancho Cordova. The existing section does not specify the definition of continuous and incessant barking. The proposed change would revise the Animal Code to address this definition and provide clarification. Additionally, the proposed change would revise the Animals Code to have an appeal fee consistent with the rest of the municipal code and offset the costs for administrative hearing processes.

Title 16 Building and Construction

Chapter 16.05, 16.10 and 16.26 are proposed to be repealed and replaced. When recently amended during the annual Building Code updates, the ordinances adopted for these three chapters did not say repeal and replace. Adoption of these new ordinances does not change

Page 377 of 538 ends

City Council Staff Report - Page 3 of 4

the previous language. It merely corrects a procedural error on the previous adoption.

Chapter 16.18 Nuisance Code
The City’s Nuisance Code provides a comprehensive method for identification and abatement of public nuisances within Rancho Cordova. The existing section enables property owners to appeal notices issued by the City with an advance deposit of the fine. Some notices are issued without a fine and other’s the amount that is assessed on a case may not be reasonable to pay prior to appealing. The proposed change would revise the Nuisance Code to have appeal fees be consistent throughout the municipal code and offset the costs for administrative hearing processes.

Chapter 16.20 Housing Code
The purpose of the City’s Housing Code is to ensure safe housing free from blight and deteriorated conditions. The existing section enables persons appearing to be 16 years or older to consent to an inspection of a dwelling or premises. The proposed changes would revise the housing code to update that age from 16 to 18 years of age.

Chapter 22.40 Park and Recreation Dedication and Fees
Amendments to this chapter include a new definition of micro-unit dwelling, clarification of the size of a row dwelling unit, how to calculate persons per household of a micro-unit and updated language to determine the fair market value of land.

Chapter 22.170 Local Parks and Recreation Facilities
Amendments to this chapter include clean up items for consistency with Chapter 22.40.

Chapter 23.310 Residential Zoning Districts
At a recent City Council meeting, staff discussed the need to start regulating short-term vacation rentals within the City. This amendment would modify Table 23.310-1 to permit Short Term Vacation Rentals in residential zones subject to obtaining a rental housing license and follow all requirements for inspections of a rental home.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
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 further regulate or clarify uses that are already present in the City or provide consistency with State law and no significant expansion of these activities can reasonably be anticipated to occur. 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 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.

CHAPTER 4.50 OTHER BUSINESSES

The purposes of this article are to provide for the licensing of motion picture productions in order to ensure that necessary public resources are provided at the times and in the manner required to protect the health, safety and welfare; that the licensee bears the cost of such public resources; and that the motion picture productions are otherwise conducted under conditions and in a manner which avoids risk to the health, safety or welfare of the community.

As an alternative to service by mail, and if the animal services manager is unable for any reason to personally serve the responsible owner, the animal services manager may post the notice of violation at a conspicuous location on any real property within the city in which the animal services manager has knowledge that the responsible owner has a legal interest, and such posting shall be deemed effective service. Service shall be deemed effective pursuant to posting on the date that the notice is actually posted.

4. The failure of any responsible owner to receive any notice served in accordance with this section will not affect the validity of any proceedings taken under this chapter.

D. Opportunity to Correct the Violation. Once a notice of violation has been served upon a responsible owner, the owner shall be allowed 14 days to correct or remedy the violation. If the responsible owner properly corrects or remedies the violation, he or she shall not be assessed an administrative penalty. If the responsible owner fails to correct or remedy the violation, administrative penalties shall be assessed from the date written

Page 392 of 538 ends

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 2 Exhibit A to the Ordinance
upon the notice. This subsection shall not be construed to waive any fee or payment that would ordinarily be required pursuant to this title.

E. Satisfaction of Notice of Violation.

1. Upon receipt of a notice of violation, the responsible owner must do the following: (a) pay the administrative penalty to animal services; and (b) demonstrate to the animal services manager that the violation has been corrected or remedied, if the violation(s) is of such a nature that it can be remedied.

2. If a responsible owner fails to properly correct or remedy a continuing violation in accordance with subsection (D) of this section or otherwise, the owner shall pay the accrued penalty amount to the animal services. Penalty amounts shall continue to accrue as specified up until the date the responsible owner satisfies the notice of violation or files a notice of appeal. Payment of an accrued penalty shall not excuse or discharge the owner’s responsibility to correct or remedy the cited violation, nor shall it bar further enforcement action by the animal services manager.

F. Appeal of Citation.

1. Any recipient of a notice of violation may contest that there was a violation of this title or that he or she is the responsible owner by completing a notice of appeal and request for hearing form and filing it with animal services within 30 calendar days from the date of issuance of the notice, together with an appeal fee of $250, or the timely filing of a request for an appeal fee hardship waiver pursuant to subsection (G) of this section, and the hearing fee as established by the city council. Any appeal of the notice of violation must include a detailed written explanation as to the grounds for appeal.

2. The filing of a notice of appeal does not stay, postpone or excuse the responsible owner’s duty to correct or remedy a cited violation. The proper filing of a notice of appeal, along with an appeal fee of $250, will toll any late penalties that would accrue thereafter for a continuing violation. If the hearing officer upholds the notice of violation, any applicable late penalties shall begin to accrue again on the day following the issuance of the hearing officer’s written decision. Any penalty amount that has been deposited in advance shall be refunded if it is determined, after a hearing, that the person charged in the notice of violation was not responsible for the violation(s) or that there was no violation(s) as charged in the notice of violation.

Page 393 of 538 ends

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 2 Exhibit A to the Ordinance

3. The failure to submit a timely and complete request for hearing will terminate a person’s right to contest the notice of violation and result in a failure to exhaust administrative remedies, and the order of the notice of violation will serve as a formal determination and conclusive evidence of the named responsible owner’s liability.

G. Appeal Fee Hardship Waiver. A person seeking an administrative hearing may request a hardship waiver of the penalty deposit by filing with the animal services manager a completed appeal fee hardship waiver, which must be signed under penalty of perjury. The request must be submitted along with the request for hearing. The person requesting the waiver bears the burden of establishing that such person does not have the financial ability to make the deposit. The request will be decided by the animal services manager within three business days from the date the request is received, and the animal services manager’s decision is final. The applicant will be notified by telephone, facsimile, or in person of the decision on the request. The filing of a request for hardship waiver does not extend the time to file for an administrative hearing or pay the penalty when due. If the request for hardship waiver is denied, an administrative hearing will not be scheduled unless the penalty deposit is paid within five business days following the animal services manager’s determination on the request for a hardship waiver.

H. Hearing Officer. The city hearing officer shall conduct the administrative hearing pursuant to RCMC 8.09.050. In addition to the authority conferred in this section, the hearing officer shall have the authority set forth in RCMC 8.09.030 and other applicable sections of this title.

I. Hearing Procedure. The procedures set forth under RCMC 8.09.050 shall apply to all hearings under this section, unless otherwise specified herein this section.

J. Hearing Officer’s Decision.

1. After considering all of the testimony and evidence submitted at the hearing and consistent with RCMC 8.09.050, the hearing officer shall issue a written decision within 14 days of the date of the hearing to uphold or cancel the notice of violation and shall list in the decision the reasons for that determination. The decision of the hearing officer shall be final;

2. If the hearing officer determines that the notice of violation should be upheld, then the animal services manager shall retain the penalty amount, including any fee that is the subject of the notice of violation, on deposit with the animal services manager;

Page 394 of 538 ends

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 2 Exhibit A to the Ordinance

3. If the hearing officer determines that the notice of violation should be upheld, and the penalty has not been deposited pursuant to an appeal fee hardship waiver, the hearing officer shall set a payment schedule for the payment of the penalty, including any fee that is the subject of the notice of violation. Accrual of any late penalty charges shall resume on the day following the date of the hearing officer’s decision;

4. If the hearing officer determines there has been no violation and the penalty was deposited with the animal services manager, then the animal services manager shall promptly refund the amount of the deposited penalty;

5. The recipient of the notice of violation shall be served with a copy of the hearing officer’s written decision.

K. Failure to Pay Administrative Penalties.

1. The failure of any person to pay the administrative penalties assessed in connection with a notice of violation within the time specified on the notice constitutes a debt to the city and may result in the matter being referred to a collection agency, which may file a claim with the small claims court or, in the alternative, utilize any means within its power to collect the amount owed. The city may pursue any other legal remedy to collect the administrative fines.

2. Any person who fails to pay to the city any administrative penalty imposed pursuant to this title on or before the date the fine is due shall also be liable in any action brought by the city for all costs incurred in securing payment of the delinquent amount, including, but not limited to, administrative costs and attorneys’ fees. Such collection costs are in addition to any required fees, penalties, interest and late charges.

3. Notwithstanding all of the procedures set forth in this section, the animal services manager shall have the ability and discretion to enforce violations of this title, to impose necessary conditions, to forgive portions of a debt or penalty owed to the city under this title, and to coordinate collection and enforcement efforts with a collection agency.

L. Right to Judicial Review. Any person aggrieved by an administrative decision of a hearing officer on an administrative citation may obtain review of the administrative decision by filing a petition for review with the Sacramento County superior court in accordance with the timelines and provisions as set forth in California Government Code Section 53069.4. [Ord. 20-2014 §§ 13 – 16; Ord. 8-2009 § 6].

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.

22.40.005Authority.

This chapter is enacted pursuant to the authority granted by Section 66477 of the Government Code. The park and recreational facilities for which dedication of land and/or payment of fee is required shall be in accordance with the local recreational element of the general plan. Land dedication under this chapter shall conform to the city general plan, to any adopted specific plan, and the applicable provisions of Section 66477 of the Government Code. [Ord. 15-2022 § 4 (Exh. A); Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].

22.40.010Purpose.

As a condition of approval of a tentative subdivision map or tentative parcel map, the subdivider shall dedicate land, pay a fee in lieu thereof, or both, at the option of the city for neighborhood and community park or recreational purposes at the time specified by the city according to the standards and formula contained in this chapter. [Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983; SCC 394 § 4, 1979; SCC 325 § 4 (part), 1978].

Page 405 of 538 ends

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 2 Exhibit A to the Ordinance

22.40.020Procedure for subdivider.

At the time of filing of a tentative subdivision map for approval, the subdivider of the property shall, as a part of such filing, indicate whether the subdivider desires to dedicate property for park or recreation purposes, or whether the subdivider desires to pay a fee in lieu thereof, or a combination of dedication and in-lieu fees. If the subdivider desires to dedicate land for this purpose, the subdivider shall designate the area thereof on the tentative subdivision map as submitted. [Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983; SCC § 4 (part), 1978].

22.40.025Determining the local agency.

A. Prior to the time of tentative subdivision or tentative parcel map approval, the city council shall have determined whether the city or another public agency is the appropriate local public agency providing park and recreation services on a community-wide level and to the area within which the proposed development will be located. Pursuant to such determination, land or fees required under this section shall be conveyed or paid directly to the designated agency, if such agency elects to accept the land or fee.

B. In the event park and recreation services and facilities are provided by a public agency other than the city, the amount and location of land to be dedicated or fees to be paid shall be jointly determined by the city council and the board of directors of such public agency. [Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].

22.40.030Dedication requirements.

The approval body or city council shall require the dedication of all land, the payment of fees in lieu thereof, or a combination of both as provided herein, for park or recreational purposes as a condition to the approval of a tentative subdivision or tentative parcel map; provided, that:

A. The land, fees, or combination thereof are to be used only for the purposes of developing new and rehabilitating existing park or recreational facilities to serve the subdivision.

B. The amount and location of land to be dedicated or the fees to be paid shall bear a reasonable relationship to the use of the park and recreational facilities by the future inhabitants of the subdivision.

C. The city council and/or the designated local public agency shall develop a schedule specifying how and when it will use the land or fees, or both, to develop park or recreational facilities to serve the residents of the subdivision. Any fees collected shall be committed within five years after the payment of fees or the issuance of building permits on one-half of the lots created by the subdivision, whichever occurs later. If such fees are not committed, they shall be distributed and paid to the then-record owners of the subdivision in the same proportion that the size of their lot bears to the total area of all lots within the subdivision.

Page 406 of 538 ends

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 2 Exhibit A to the Ordinance
D. Only the payment of fees may be required in subdivisions containing 50 parcels or less. However, nothing in this chapter shall prohibit the dedication and acceptance of land for park and recreation purposes in subdivisions of 50 parcels or less, if the subdivider voluntarily proposes such dedication and the land otherwise meets the requirements of this title.

E. Subdivisions containing less than five parcels and not used for residential purposes shall be exempted from the requirements of this chapter; provided, however, that a condition may be placed on the approval of such parcel map that if a building permit is requested for construction of a residential structure or structures on one or more of the parcels within four years, the fee may be required to be paid by the owner of each such parcel as a condition to the issuance of such permit.

F. If the subdivider provides park and recreational improvements to the dedicated land, the value of the improvements, together with any equipment located thereon, shall be a credit against the payment of fees or dedication of land required by this chapter, as determined pursuant to RCMC 22.40.085. [Ord. 38-2007 § 1 (Exh. 1(M)); Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983; SCC 395 § 5, 1979; SCC 325 § 4 (part), 1978].

22.40.035Calculating area of land dedication.

A. If the city requires the dedication of land, the subdivider or owner shall dedicate land for neighborhood and community parks according to the formula D x F = A in which:

D equals the number of dwelling units,
F equals a factor herein described, and
A equals the amount of land, in acres, to be dedicated.

B. Definitions. For purposes of this section, the following definitions shall apply:
“Age-restricted multifamily dwelling” means a residential building or structure for occupancy by persons 55 years of age or older, designed and used for or proposed for residential occupancy by seven or more families and having a kitchen and bath facilities for each family.
“Age-restricted single-family dwelling” means a dwelling unit comprised of a detached building designed for occupancy by one or more persons 55 years of age or older. “Dwelling unit” means one or more rooms in a building or structure or portion thereof designed exclusively for residential occupancy by one family for living or sleeping purposes and having kitchen and bath facilities, including mobile homes. “Micro-unit dwelling” means an attached or detached dwelling unit of 800 square feet or less.
“Mobile home” means a dwelling unit used for or proposed for residential occupancy in vehicles which require a permit to be moved on a highway, other than a motor vehicle designed or used for human habitation and for being drawn by another vehicle.

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 2 Exhibit A to the Ordinance
“Multiple-family dwelling” means a residential building or structure designed and used for or proposed for residential occupancy by seven or more families and having a kitchen and bath facilities for each family.
“Single-family dwelling” means a dwelling unit comprised of a detached building designed for occupancy by one family.
“Small-family dwelling” means a residential building or structure designed and used for or proposed for residential occupancy by two to six families and having a kitchen and bath facilities for each family, including two-family, group and row dwelling units less than or equal to 1,200 square feet
C. The factors 0.01475, 0.0101, 0.0077, 0.0086, 0.01, 0.0051 and 0.0052 are constants determined from an analysis of population trends and studies of Rancho Cordova in accordance with Section 66477(a)(2) of the Government Code, which, when multiplied by the number of dwelling units permitted in the subject area, will produce five acres per 1,000 population to be devoted to neighborhood or community park facilities. This limit has been determined in accordance with Section 66477(a)(2) of the Government Code.

The planning director may reestablish such factors annually.

Fs = 0.01475 relating to single-family dwelling units (2.95 persons/dwelling) Fm = 0.0101 relating to small-family dwelling units (2.03 persons/dwelling) Fa = 0.0077 relating to multiple-family dwelling units (1.54 persons/dwelling) Fmh = 0.0086 relating to mobile home dwelling units (1.72 persons/dwelling) Fars = 0.01 relating to age-restricted single-family dwelling units (2.0 person/dwelling) Fara = 0.0052 relating to age-restricted multifamily residential units (1.04 persons/dwelling)
Fmu= 0.0051 relating to micro-unit dwelling units (1.02 persons/dwelling) For purposes of determining the above-noted factors the following formulas are applied:

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 2 Exhibit A to the Ordinance
D. In small-family and multiple-family development projects the number of dwelling units shall be calculated from the maximum density permitted in the proposed zone, as determined from the zoning code, including any density bonus, unless the subdivider can demonstrate that the development will contain a lesser number of dwelling units.

For tentative parcel maps in multifamily zones a condition may be added to the tentative parcel map stating that the number of dwelling units may be calculated using the density tentatively approved and such requirement shall not become final until the land or improvements are dedicated or fees in lieu thereof are paid by the subdivider to the satisfaction of the city. [Ord. 2-2020 § 3 (Exh. A); Ord. 53-2004 § 1; Ord. 25-2003 § 3].

22.40.040Calculation of in-lieu fees.

Where the city requires the payment of park in-lieu fees, the amount to be paid shall be a sum calculated according to the formula A x V = M, in which, A = The amount of land required for dedication as determined by RCMC 22.40.035, V = Fair market value per acre of the property to be subdivided, as established by an appraisal prepared in accordance with RCMC 22.40.045; and M = The number of dollars to be paid in lieu of dedication of land. [Ord. 53-2004 § 2; Ord. 25-2003 § 3].

22.40.045Determination of fair market value.

A. For purposes of calculating the in-lieu fee under RCMC 22.40.040, the subdivider shall cause an appraisal of the property to be subdivided to be made. The appraisal shall be made at the subdivider’s expense by a person qualified as a certified general real estate appraiser (MAI) by the California Office of Real Estate Appraisers, and shall meet the standards specified in the uniform standards of professional appraisal practice.

The fair market value shall be established as the most probable price, as of a specific date, in cash, or terms equivalent to cash, or in other precisely revealed terms, for which the specified property rights should sell after reasonable exposure in a competitive market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, with the buyer and seller each acting prudently, knowledgeably and for self-interest, and assuming that neither is under undue duress. Factors to be considered during the evaluation shall include the following:

1. Applicable project conditions of approval;

2. The general plan;

3. Zoning and density;

4. Property location;

5. Off-site improvements facilitating use of the property;

6. Site characteristics of the property;

Page 409 of 538 ends

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 2 Exhibit A to the Ordinance

7. Existing public improvements (e.g., existing streets, canals) which have the effect of reducing usable gross tentative map area;

8. Such other factors as the city council may establish by resolution.

B. The appraisal shall value the property as of a date no earlier than six weeks prior to the recording of the final map, or the payment of the fee, whichever occurs later, unless otherwise extended by the city and parks provider. The appraisal shall clearly state the fair market value (V) of the property, in dollars per gross acre. Three copies of the appraisal shall be delivered to the Community Development Director, or their delegate, for distribution.

C. In the event the city’s Community Development Director determines the appraisal is inaccurate, the city may cause a second appraisal to be made at its expense by an appraiser with the above-described qualifications, and the second appraisal shall be used for purposes of calculating the in-lieu fee. [Ord. 53-2004 § 4].

22.40.050Standards for final maps where tentative map approved prior to 1983.

When a final map is approved after January 1, 1983, in substantial compliance with a tentative map approved prior to January 1, 1983, the approval body or city council shall require dedication of land or payment of fees, or both, as a condition of approval of the final map using the current standards otherwise applicable to tentative maps after January 1, 1983. [Ord. 38-2007 § 1 (Exh. 1(M)); Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].

22.40.055Exemption.

This chapter shall not apply to:

A. Commercial or industrial subdivisions;
B. Condominium projects or stock cooperatives which consist of the subdivision of airspace in an existing apartment building which is more than five years old when no new dwelling units are added;
C. Tentative subdivision maps or tentative parcel maps in agricultural or agricultural residential zones as defined in the Rancho Cordova zoning code when more than 50 percent of the lots created exceed two gross acres each; D. A tentative subdivision or tentative parcel map of existing multifamily residential units which are more than five years old when no new dwelling units are added; or E. A lot or parcel, within a tentative subdivision or tentative parcel map, that contains a single-family dwelling that is more than five years old when no new dwelling units are added to said lot or parcel. [Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 617 § 1, 1985; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].

22.40.060Recreational community gardening.

Land and facilities for the activity of “recreational community gardening,” which activity consists of the cultivation by persons other than or in addition to the owner of such land,

Page 410 of 538 ends

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 2 Exhibit A to the Ordinance
of plant material not for sale, shall be deemed a park and recreational purpose. [Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].

22.40.065Credit for privately owned facilities.

A. The city council may grant credit for privately owned and maintained open space or local recreation facilities, or both, in planned unit developments or residential townhouse units, or mobile home developments or special planning areas, as defined in the zoning code. Such credit shall be subtracted from the dedication or fees, or both; provided:

1. Yards, patio court areas, setbacks, and other open space areas required by this title and the zoning code shall be maintained;

2. Provision is made by written agreement or recorded covenants that the private areas be adequately maintained;

3. The use of private open space or recreation facilities is limited to park and local recreation purposes and shall not be changed to another use without the written consent of the city council.

B. Land or facilities which may qualify for credit will generally include the following:

1. Open spaces, which are generally defined as parks and parkway areas, ornamental parks, extensive areas with tree coverage, lowlands along streams or areas of rough terrain when such areas are extensive and have natural features worthy of scenic preservation, golf courses, or open areas on the site in excess of 20,000 square feet;

2. Court areas for tennis, badminton, shuffleboard or similar hard-surfaced areas designed and used exclusively for court games;

3. Recreational swimming areas defined as fenced areas devoted primarily to swimming and diving, including decks, lawned area, bathhouses, or other facilities developed and used exclusively for swimming and diving and consisting of no less than 15 square feet of water surface area for each three percent of the population of the subdivision;

4. Recreation buildings, designed and primarily used for the recreational needs of the residents of the development;

5. Special areas defined as areas of scenic or natural beauty, historic sites, hiking, riding or motorless bicycle trails, including pedestrian walkways separated from public roads, planting strips, lake sites or river beaches, improved access or right-of-way in excess of the requirements of RCMC 22.40.035, and similar types of open space or recreational facilities. [Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].

22.40.070Computation of credit.

The categories for credit described in RCMC 22.20.065 shall be given equal weight, each category not to exceed 20 percent of the total dedication or fee which may be

Page 411 of 538 ends

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 2 Exhibit A to the Ordinance
required by the city council. The city council may grant additional credit for each category if there is substantial evidence that:

A. The open space or recreational facility is above average in esthetic quality, arrangement or design; or
B. The open space or recreational facility is clearly proportionately greater in amount or size than required by this title or usually provided in other similar types of development; or
C. The open space or recreational facility is situated so as to complement open space or local recreational facilities in other private or public developments. [Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].

22.40.075Access requirements.

All land offered for dedication for park and recreational purposes shall have access on at least one existing or proposed public street. This requirement may be waived by the city council if the city council determines that the public street access is unnecessary for the maintenance of the park area or use thereof by the residents. [Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].

22.40.080Sale of dedicated land.

The subdivider or owner and the city council or the director of a local park and recreational district may, after dedication of the land and before construction of the first dwelling unit, agree to sell the land dedicated and use the proceeds thereof towards the acquisition of a more suitable site. Such sale is subject to the limitations imposed on disposition of park property set forth in the Government Code. [Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].

22.40.085Credit for park and recreational improvements and equipment.

A. If the subdivider proposes to receive credit for providing park and recreational improvements to the land the subdivider has dedicated, or equipment located thereon, the following procedure shall be followed. At the time of filing for the tentative map, the subdivider shall notify the local agency providing park and recreational services to the area within which the proposed development will be located that he or she intends to receive credit for park and recreational services and recreational improvements to the dedicated land and equipment located on that land. At the time of approval of the tentative map, the amount of land to be dedicated necessary to comply with this chapter shall be calculated pursuant to RCMC 22.40.035 or 22.40.045. As a condition of approval of such tentative map, the developer shall be required to dedicate the calculated amount of land or its equivalent in fees or credits at the time of filing the final map, and the developer shall sign an agreement with the local agency stating that land, and any equipment located thereon, shall be calculated and dedicated at the time of approval of the final map in an amount equivalent to the current value of the amount of land required to be dedicated as a condition of the tentative map.

Page 412 of 538 ends

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 2 Exhibit A to the Ordinance
B. Such land, improvements and equipment may be accepted by the local agency if such land, improvements and equipment comply with its master plan for that park.

Immediately upon the approval or conditioned approval of the tentative map to the subdivider, the local agency providing parks shall initiate preparation of a master plan for the park area proposed to receive the credits. Such master plan shall be completed within the duration of the tentative map and not later than 36 months from approval of the tentative map.

C. At the time of approval of the final map, the subdivider shall dedicate land to the local agency providing parks if such dedication is consistent with the master plan. The subdivider and the local agency shall enter into a credit agreement whereby the subdivider agrees to pay a fee in lieu of dedication of land, and provide a bond or other security acceptable to the city guaranteeing the subdivider will pay the fee, in the amount of the remainder of the obligation calculated pursuant to subsection (A) of this section. The subdivider then shall specify the improvements to the dedicated land together with equipment located thereon he or she wishes to provide, consistent with the master plan. The public agency shall proceed with a standard competitive bid process to arrive at the lowest responsible bidder for providing such improvements and equipment. Upon completion of the competitive bid process, the subdivider shall pay the fee, which shall be used to pay for such improvements and equipment. If no fee is paid, the bond or other security shall be used for such payment. The remainder of the fee or security, if any, shall be retained by the local agency.

D. If the developer and local agency agree to allow installation of park and recreational improvements and equipment located on the dedicated land, rather than providing a fee, bond, or other security pursuant to subsection (C) of this section, the developer may do so; provided, that such improvements are consistent with the park master plan.

The amount of credit to be given shall be determined jointly by the local agency providing parks, the department of public works, and the developer, based on evidence presented by the developer showing that such improvements were obtained and installed at a reasonable, competitive rate for the community. Only reasonable charges shall be eligible for credit under this section. The developer may choose to construct and provide such improvements and equipment only upon a showing to the department of public works and local agency providing parks that such a procedure will not result in costs in excess of that obtainable by using a competitive bidding process carried out by the public agency, pursuant to subsection (C) of this section. [Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].

22.170.010 Purposes.

This chapter is enacted by the city council of Rancho Cordova to supplement provisions of Chapter 22.52 SCC by providing for the city and local governmental agencies within the city a broader base for funds to acquire local parks and recreational facilities to serve residential areas within the city of Rancho Cordova. The city council has determined that:

A. It is inequitable to require only subdividers of real property pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 22.52 SCC to provide land or fees in lieu thereof for local parks or recreational facilities;
B. Apartment houses and single-family dwellings on individual lots place demands on local parks and recreational facilities which must be met if the recreational needs of all of the residents of the city of Rancho Cordova are to be served; C. The general welfare, health and safety of the residents of the city will be enhanced by the development of recreational facilities. Children and adults will be able to safely pursue recreational activities in areas specifically designed for recreational purposes; D. The dramatic increase in population and dwelling construction, particularly in the city of Rancho Cordova, has not been met with a corresponding availability of parks and local recreational facilities to serve the population. [Ord. 38-2007 § 1 (Exh. 1(A), (F)); Ord. 21-2003 §§ 2, 4; Ord. 20-2003 §§ 2, 4; SCC 88 § 1 (part), 1972. Formerly

9.70.010].

22.170.020 Payment of fee.

A. Prior to the issuance of any building permit pursuant to Chapter 16.04 RCMC for a new principal residential structure or a multiple-family structure, a fee as determined herein shall be paid to the parks provider for the city to be used for the acquisition and/or development of local parks and recreational facilities in the city. The fee shall be computed as follows:

1. Forty dollars for each principal single-family dwelling on a single lot;

2. Twenty-five dollars for each dwelling unit within a multiple-family structure.

B. Any fee shall be paid before the building permit to authorize the construction shall be issued by the department of public works of the city.

C. The schedule of payments is based on the application of the constants described in SCC 22.52.100 to a gross acre value of $5,000 per acre and shall be adjusted based on current appraised value prepared per section 22.40.045. The latter value has been determined by the city council to be an average land value applicable throughout the

Page 414 of 538 ends

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 2 Exhibit A to the Ordinance
city of Rancho Cordova for land being developed in residential use. [Ord. 38-2007 § 1 (Exh. 1(A), (F)); Ord. 21-2003 §§ 2, 4; Ord. 20-2003 §§ 2, 4; SCC 88 § 1 (part), 1972.

Formerly 9.70.020].

22.170.030 Deposit of fees.

Fees collected pursuant to RCMC 22.170.020 shall be deposited in the local parks facilities trust fund established pursuant to SCC 22.52.080 and shall be administered by the parks provider for the city[Ord. 38-2007 § 1 (Exh. 1(F)); Ord. 21-2003 §§ 2, 4; Ord. 20-2003 §§ 2, 4; SCC 88 § 1 (part), 1972. Formerly 9.70.030].

22.170.040 Use of fees.

Fees deposited in the local parks facilities trust fund shall be used only for the purpose of providing local parks and recreational facilities consistent with the local recreation spaces element of the general plan; provided, however, if the general plan provides for a major park or other major recreational facility within one mile of the parcel being developed, any fee collected may be applied for the acquisition of land or the development of such facility. [Ord. 38-2007 § 1 (Exh. 1(F)); Ord. 21-2003 §§ 2, 4; Ord. 20-2003 §§ 2, 4; SCC 88 § 1 (part), 1972. Formerly 9.70.040].

22.170.050 Credits.

A fee shall not be required pursuant to RCMC 22.170.030 if the land on which the single-family or multiple-family dwelling unit is to be constructed is included within a recorded subdivision and, which as a condition of the approval of the final map of the subdivision, the subdivider was given credit for privately owned facilities pursuant to SCC 22.52.130 or dedicated land, paid a fee in lieu thereof, or both, for local parks or recreational purposes pursuant to SCC 22.52.100 through 22.52.130. [Ord. 38-2007 § 1 (Exh. 1(F)); Ord. 21-2003 §§ 2, 4; Ord. 20-2003 §§ 2, 4; SCC 88 § 1 (part), 1972.

Formerly 9.70.050].

22.170.060 Appeal.

Any person who comes within the provisions of this chapter may appeal any matter relative to this chapter to the city council; provided any appeal must be filed with the clerk of the city council by letter addressed to the city council within 10 calendar days after the decision or action which prompts the appeal. The appeal will be set for hearing before the city council within 30 calendar days after receipt of the notice of appeal. A filing of a notice of appeal shall stay the issuance of any building permit pending the decision of the city council on the appeal. [Ord. 38-2007 § 1 (Exh. 1(F)); Ord. 21-2003 §§ 2, 4; Ord. 20-2003 §§ 2, 4; SCC 88 § 1 (part), 1972. Formerly 9.70.060].

22.170.070 Severability.

If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this chapter is for any reason held to be unconstitutional or unlawful, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this chapter. The city council declares that it would have passed the ordinance codified in this chapter, and each section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause and phrase thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more of the sections, subsections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases is

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 6

8. The name and signature of the citing officer and, if possible, the signature of the responsible owner. A single notice of violation may charge a violation for one or more days on which a violation exists, and for the violation of one or more code sections.

C. Service of Citation. The animal services manager shall impart notice to the owner of the violation in the following manner:

1. Personal Service. The animal services manager shall attempt to locate and personally serve the responsible owner and, if possible, obtain the signature of the responsible owner on the notice of violation. If the responsible owner served refuses or fails to sign the notice, the failure or refusal to sign shall not affect the validity of the notice or of subsequent proceedings.

2. Mail. If, for any reason, the animal services manager is unable to personally serve the notice of violation on the responsible owner, the notice shall be mailed to the responsible owner by certified mail, postage prepaid with a requested return receipt. Concurrently, the citation shall be sent by regular mail. Service by mail shall be sent to the responsible owner’s address as shown on public records or as known by the city. If the notice is sent by certified mail and returned unsigned, then service shall be deemed effective by regular mail, provided the notice sent by regular mail is not returned by the post office. Service by mail shall be effective on the date of mailing.

3. Posting Notice. As an alternative to service by mail, and if the animal services manager is unable for any reason to personally serve the responsible owner, the animal services manager may post the notice of violation at a conspicuous location on any real property within the city in which the animal services manager has knowledge that the responsible owner has a legal interest, and such posting shall be deemed effective service. Service shall be deemed effective pursuant to posting on the date that the notice is actually posted.

4. The failure of any responsible owner to receive any notice served in accordance with this section will not affect the validity of any proceedings taken under this chapter.

D. Opportunity to Correct the Violation. Once a notice of violation has been served upon a responsible owner, the owner shall be allowed 14 days to correct or remedy the violation. If the responsible owner properly corrects or remedies the violation, he or she shall not be assessed an administrative penalty. If the responsible owner fails to correct or remedy the violation, administrative penalties shall be assessed from the date written upon the notice. This subsection shall not be construed to waive any fee or payment that would ordinarily be required pursuant to this title.

Page 438 of 538 ends

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 6
E. Satisfaction of Notice of Violation.

1. Upon receipt of a notice of violation, the responsible owner must do the following: (a) pay the administrative penalty to animal services; and (b) demonstrate to the animal services manager that the violation has been corrected or remedied, if the violation(s) is of such a nature that it can be remedied.

2. If a responsible owner fails to properly correct or remedy a continuing violation in accordance with subsection (D) of this section or otherwise, the owner shall pay the accrued penalty amount to the animal services. Penalty amounts shall continue to accrue as specified up until the date the responsible owner satisfies the notice of violation or files a notice of appeal. Payment of an accrued penalty shall not excuse or discharge the owner’s responsibility to correct or remedy the cited violation, nor shall it bar further enforcement action by the animal services manager.

F. Appeal of Citation.

1. Any recipient of a notice of violation may contest that there was a violation of this title or that he or she is the responsible owner by completing a notice of appeal and request for hearing form and filing it with animal services within 30 calendar days from the date of issuance of the notice, together with an advance depositappeal fee of the total amount of the monetary penalty$250, or the timely filing of a request for an advance depositappeal fee hardship waiver pursuant to subsection (G) of this section, and the hearing fee as established by the city council. Any appeal of the notice of violation must include a detailed written explanation as to the grounds for appeal.

2. The filing of a notice of appeal does not stay, postpone or excuse the responsible owner’s duty to correct or remedy a cited violation. The proper filing of a notice of appeal, along with an advance deposit of the total accrued penalty including any fees that are the subject of the notice of violation and the hearing fee as established by the city councilappeal fee of $250, will toll any late penalties that would accrue thereafter for a continuing violation. If the hearing officer upholds the notice of violation, any applicable late penalties shall begin to accrue again on the day following the issuance of the hearing officer’s written decision. Any penalty amount that has been deposited in advance shall be refunded if it is determined, after a hearing, that the person charged in the notice of violation was not responsible for the violation(s) or that there was no violation(s) as charged in the notice of violation.

3. The failure to submit a timely and complete request for hearing will terminate a person’s right to contest the notice of violation and result in a failure to exhaust

Page 439 of 538 ends

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 6
administrative remedies, and the order of the notice of violation will serve as a formal determination and conclusive evidence of the named responsible owner’s liability.

G. Advance DepositAppeal Fee Hardship Waiver. A person seeking an administrative hearing may request a hardship waiver of the penalty deposit by filing with the animal services manager a completed advance depositappeal fee hardship waiver, which must be signed under penalty of perjury. The request must be submitted along with the request for hearing. The person requesting the waiver bears the burden of establishing that such person does not have the financial ability to make the deposit. The request will be decided by the animal services manager within three business days from the date the request is received, and the animal services manager’s decision is final. The applicant will be notified by telephone, facsimile, or in person of the decision on the request. The filing of a request for hardship waiver does not extend the time to file for an administrative hearing or pay the penalty when due. If the request for hardship waiver is denied, an administrative hearing will not be scheduled unless the penalty deposit is paid within five business days following the animal services manager’s determination on the request for a hardship waiver.

H. Hearing Officer. The city hearing officer shall conduct the administrative hearing pursuant to RCMC 8.09.050. In addition to the authority conferred in this section, the hearing officer shall have the authority set forth in RCMC 8.09.030 and other applicable sections of this title.

I. Hearing Procedure. The procedures set forth under RCMC 8.09.050 shall apply to all hearings under this section, unless otherwise specified herein this section.

J. Hearing Officer’s Decision.

1. After considering all of the testimony and evidence submitted at the hearing and consistent with RCMC 8.09.050, the hearing officer shall issue a written decision within 14 days of the date of the hearing to uphold or cancel the notice of violation and shall list in the decision the reasons for that determination. The decision of the hearing officer shall be final;

2. If the hearing officer determines that the notice of violation should be upheld, then the animal services manager shall retain the penalty amount, including any fee that is the subject of the notice of violation, on deposit with the animal services manager;

3. If the hearing officer determines that the notice of violation should be upheld, and the penalty has not been deposited pursuant to an advance depositappeal fee hardship waiver, the hearing officer shall set a payment schedule for the payment

Page 440 of 538 ends

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 6
of the penalty, including any fee that is the subject of the notice of violation.

Accrual of any late penalty charges shall resume on the day following the date of the hearing officer’s decision;

4. If the hearing officer determines there has been no violation and the penalty was deposited with the animal services manager, then the animal services manager shall promptly refund the amount of the deposited penalty;

5. The recipient of the notice of violation shall be served with a copy of the hearing officer’s written decision.

K. Failure to Pay Administrative Penalties.

1. The failure of any person to pay the administrative penalties assessed in connection with a notice of violation within the time specified on the notice constitutes a debt to the city and may result in the matter being referred to a collection agency, which may file a claim with the small claims court or, in the alternative, utilize any means within its power to collect the amount owed. The city may pursue any other legal remedy to collect the administrative fines.

2. Any person who fails to pay to the city any administrative penalty imposed pursuant to this title on or before the date the fine is due shall also be liable in any action brought by the city for all costs incurred in securing payment of the delinquent amount, including, but not limited to, administrative costs and attorneys’ fees. Such collection costs are in addition to any required fees, penalties, interest and late charges.

3. Notwithstanding all of the procedures set forth in this section, the animal services manager shall have the ability and discretion to enforce violations of this title, to impose necessary conditions, to forgive portions of a debt or penalty owed to the city under this title, and to coordinate collection and enforcement efforts with a collection agency.

L. Right to Judicial Review. Any person aggrieved by an administrative decision of a hearing officer on an administrative citation may obtain review of the administrative decision by filing a petition for review with the Sacramento County superior court in accordance with the timelines and provisions as set forth in California Government Code Section 53069.4. [Ord. 20-2014 §§ 13 – 16; Ord. 8-2009 § 6].

Prior legislation: Ord. 19-2003.

22.40.005Authority.

This chapter is enacted pursuant to the authority granted by Section 66477 of the Government Code. The park and recreational facilities for which dedication of land and/or payment of fee is required shall be in accordance with the local recreational element of the general plan. Land dedication under this chapter shall conform to the city general plan, to any adopted specific plan, and the applicable provisions of Section 66477 of the Government Code. [Ord. 15-2022 § 4 (Exh. A); Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].

22.40.010Purpose.

As a condition of approval of a tentative subdivision map or tentative parcel map, the subdivider shall dedicate land, pay a fee in lieu thereof, or both, at the option of the city for neighborhood and community park or recreational purposes at the time specified by the city according to the standards and formula contained in this chapter. [Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983; SCC 394 § 4, 1979; SCC 325 § 4 (part), 1978].

22.40.020Procedure for subdivider.

At the time of filing of a tentative subdivision map for approval, the subdivider of the property shall, as a part of such filing, indicate whether the subdivider desires to dedicate property for park or recreation purposes, or whether the subdivider desires to pay a fee in lieu thereof, or a combination of dedication and in-lieu fees. If the subdivider desires to dedicate land for this purpose, the subdivider shall designate the area thereof on the tentative subdivision map as submitted. [Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983; SCC § 4 (part), 1978].

22.40.025Determining the local agency.

A. Prior to the time of tentative subdivision or tentative parcel map approval, the city council shall have determined whether the city or another public agency is the

Page 451 of 538 ends

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 6
appropriate local public agency providing park and recreation services on a community-wide level and to the area within which the proposed development will be located. Pursuant to such determination, land or fees required under this section shall be conveyed or paid directly to the designated agency, if such agency elects to accept the land or fee.

B. In the event park and recreation services and facilities are provided by a public agency other than the city, the amount and location of land to be dedicated or fees to be paid shall be jointly determined by the city council and the board of directors of such public agency. [Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].

22.40.030Dedication requirements.

The approval body or city council shall require the dedication of all land, the payment of fees in lieu thereof, or a combination of both as provided herein, for park or recreational purposes as a condition to the approval of a tentative subdivision or tentative parcel map; provided, that:

A. The land, fees, or combination thereof are to be used only for the purposes of developing new and rehabilitating existing park or recreational facilities to serve the subdivision.

B. The amount and location of land to be dedicated or the fees to be paid shall bear a reasonable relationship to the use of the park and recreational facilities by the future inhabitants of the subdivision.

C. The city council and/or the designated local public agency shall develop a schedule specifying how and when it will use the land or fees, or both, to develop park or recreational facilities to serve the residents of the subdivision. Any fees collected shall be committed within five years after the payment of fees or the issuance of building permits on one-half of the lots created by the subdivision, whichever occurs later. If such fees are not committed, they shall be distributed and paid to the then-record owners of the subdivision in the same proportion that the size of their lot bears to the total area of all lots within the subdivision.

D. Only the payment of fees may be required in subdivisions containing 50 parcels or less. However, nothing in this chapter shall prohibit the dedication and acceptance of land for park and recreation purposes in subdivisions of 50 parcels or less, if the subdivider voluntarily proposes such dedication and the land otherwise meets the requirements of this title.

E. Subdivisions containing less than five parcels and not used for residential purposes shall be exempted from the requirements of this chapter; provided, however, that a condition may be placed on the approval of such parcel map that if a building permit is requested for construction of a residential structure or structures on one or more of the parcels within four years, the fee may be required to be paid by the owner of each such parcel as a condition to the issuance of such permit.

F. If the subdivider provides park and recreational improvements to the dedicated land, the value of the improvements, together with any equipment located thereon, shall be a

Page 452 of 538 ends

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 6
credit against the payment of fees or dedication of land required by this chapter, as determined pursuant to RCMC 22.40.085. [Ord. 38-2007 § 1 (Exh. 1(M)); Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983; SCC 395 § 5, 1979; SCC 325 § 4 (part), 1978].

22.40.035Calculating area of land dedication.

A. If the city requires the dedication of land, the subdivider or owner shall dedicate land for neighborhood and community parks according to the formula D x F = A in which:

D equals the number of dwelling units,
F equals a factor herein described, and
A equals the amount of land, in acres, to be dedicated.

B. Definitions. For purposes of this section, the following definitions shall apply:
“Age-restricted multifamily dwelling” means a residential building or structure for occupancy by persons 55 years of age or older, designed and used for or proposed for residential occupancy by seven or more families and having a kitchen and bath facilities for each family.
“Age-restricted single-family dwelling” means a dwelling unit comprised of a detached building designed for occupancy by one or more persons 55 years of age or older. “Dwelling unit” means one or more rooms in a building or structure or portion thereof designed exclusively for residential occupancy by one family for living or sleeping purposes and having kitchen and bath facilities, including mobile homes. “Micro-unit dwelling” means an attached or detached dwelling unit of 800 square feet or less.
“Mobile home” means a dwelling unit used for or proposed for residential occupancy in vehicles which require a permit to be moved on a highway, other than a motor vehicle designed or used for human habitation and for being drawn by another vehicle. “Multiple-family dwelling” means a residential building or structure designed and used for or proposed for residential occupancy by seven or more families and having a kitchen and bath facilities for each family.
“Single-family dwelling” means a dwelling unit comprised of a detached building designed for occupancy by one family.
“Small-family dwelling” means a residential building or structure designed and used for or proposed for residential occupancy by two to six families and having a kitchen and bath facilities for each family, including two-family, group and row dwelling units less than or equal to 1,200 square feet.

C. The factors 0.01475, 0.0101, 0.0077, 0.0086, 0.01, 0.0051 and 0.0052 are constants determined from an analysis of population trends and studies of Rancho Cordova in accordance with Section 66477(a)(2) of the Government Code, which, when multiplied

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 6
by the number of dwelling units permitted in the subject area, will produce five acres per 1,000 population to be devoted to neighborhood or community park facilities. This limit has been determined in accordance with Section 66477(a)(2) of the Government Code.

The planning director may reestablish such factors annually.

D. In small-family and multiple-family development projects the number of dwelling units shall be calculated from the maximum density permitted in the proposed zone, as determined from the zoning code, including any density bonus, unless the subdivider can demonstrate that the development will contain a lesser number of dwelling units.

For tentative parcel maps in multifamily zones a condition may be added to the tentative parcel map stating that the number of dwelling units may be calculated using the density tentatively approved and such requirement shall not become final until the land or improvements are dedicated or fees in lieu thereof are paid by the subdivider to the satisfaction of the city. [Ord. 2-2020 § 3 (Exh. A); Ord. 53-2004 § 1; Ord. 25-2003 § 3].

22.40.040Calculation of in-lieu fees.

Where the city requires the payment of park in-lieu fees, the amount to be paid shall be a sum calculated according to the formula A x V = M, in which, A = The amount of land required for dedication as determined by RCMC 22.40.035,

Page 454 of 538 ends

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 6
V = Fair market value per acre of the property to be subdivided, as established by an appraisal prepared in accordance with RCMC 22.40.045; and M = The number of dollars to be paid in lieu of dedication of land. [Ord. 53-2004 § 2; Ord. 25-2003 § 3].

22.40.045Determination of fair market value.

A. For purposes of calculating the in-lieu fee under RCMC 22.40.040, the subdivider shall cause an appraisal of the property to be subdivided to be made. The appraisal shall be made at the subdivider’s expense by a person qualified as a certified general real estate appraiser (MAI) by the California Office of Real Estate Appraisers, and shall meet the standards specified in the uniform standards of professional appraisal practice.

The appraiser shall appraise the gross tentative map area at its unencumbered (free and clear of liens and/or encumbrances) value, as if at the approved tentative map stage of development and as if any assessments or other encumbrances to which the property is subject had been paid off in full prior to the date of appraisal The fair market value shall be established as the most probable price, as of a specific date, in cash, or terms equivalent to cash, or in other precisely revealed terms, for which the specified property rights should sell after reasonable exposure in a competitive market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, with the buyer and seller each acting prudently, knowledgeably and for self-interest, and assuming that neither is under undue duress.

Factors to be considered during the evaluation shall include the following:

1. Applicable project conditions of approval;

2. The general plan;

3. Zoning and density;

4. Property location;

5. Off-site improvements facilitating use of the property;

6. Site characteristics of the property;

7. Existing public improvements (e.g., existing streets, canals) which have the effect of reducing usable gross tentative map area;

8. Such other factors as the city council may establish by resolution.

B. The appraisal shall value the property as of a date no earlier than six weeks prior to the recording of the final map, or the payment of the fee, whichever occurs later, unless otherwise extended by the city and parks provider. The appraisal shall clearly state the fair market value (V) of the property, in dollars per gross acre. Three copies of the appraisal shall be delivered to the public works development services sectionCommunity Development Director, or their delegate, for distribution.

C. In the event the city’s planning directorCommunity Development Director determines the appraisal is inaccurate, the city may cause a second appraisal to be made at its

Page 455 of 538 ends

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 6
expense by an appraiser with the above-described qualifications, and the second appraisal shall be used for purposes of calculating the in-lieu fee. [Ord. 53-2004 § 4].

22.40.050Standards for final maps where tentative map approved prior to 1983.

When a final map is approved after January 1, 1983, in substantial compliance with a tentative map approved prior to January 1, 1983, the approval body or city council shall require dedication of land or payment of fees, or both, as a condition of approval of the final map using the current standards otherwise applicable to tentative maps after January 1, 1983. [Ord. 38-2007 § 1 (Exh. 1(M)); Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].

A lot or parcel, within a tentative subdivision or tentative parcel map, that contains a single-family dwelling that is more than five years old when no new dwelling units are added to said lot or parcel. [Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 617 § 1, 1985; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].

22.40.060Recreational community gardening.

Land and facilities for the activity of “recreational community gardening,” which activity consists of the cultivation by persons other than or in addition to the owner of such land, of plant material not for sale, shall be deemed a park and recreational purpose. [Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].

22.40.065Credit for privately owned facilities.

A. The city council may grant credit for privately owned and maintained open space or local recreation facilities, or both, in planned unit developments or residential townhouse units, or mobile home developments or special planning areas, as defined in the zoning code. Such credit shall be subtracted from the dedication or fees, or both; provided:

[Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].

22.40.070Computation of credit.

The categories for credit described in RCMC 22.20.065 shall be given equal weight, each category not to exceed 20 percent of the total dedication or fee which may be required by the city council. The city council may grant additional credit for each category if there is substantial evidence that:

Page 457 of 538 ends

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 6

22.40.075Access requirements.

All land offered for dedication for park and recreational purposes shall have access on at least one existing or proposed public street. This requirement may be waived by the city council if the city council determines that the public street access is unnecessary for the maintenance of the park area or use thereof by the residents. [Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].

22.40.080Sale of dedicated land.

The subdivider or owner and the city council or the director of a local park and recreational district may, after dedication of the land and before construction of the first dwelling unit, agree to sell the land dedicated and use the proceeds thereof towards the acquisition of a more suitable site. Such sale is subject to the limitations imposed on disposition of park property set forth in the Government Code. [Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].

22.40.085Credit for park and recreational improvements and equipment.

A. If the subdivider proposes to receive credit for providing park and recreational improvements to the land the subdivider has dedicated, or equipment located thereon, the following procedure shall be followed. At the time of filing for the tentative map, the subdivider shall notify the local agency providing park and recreational services to the area within which the proposed development will be located that he or she intends to receive credit for park and recreational services and recreational improvements to the dedicated land and equipment located on that land. At the time of approval of the tentative map, the amount of land to be dedicated necessary to comply with this chapter shall be calculated pursuant to RCMC 22.40.035 or 22.40.045. As a condition of approval of such tentative map, the developer shall be required to dedicate the calculated amount of land or its equivalent in fees or credits at the time of filing the final map, and the developer shall sign an agreement with the local agency stating that land, and any equipment located thereon, shall be calculated and dedicated at the time of approval of the final map in an amount equivalent to the current value of the amount of land required to be dedicated as a condition of the tentative map.

B. Such land, improvements and equipment may be accepted by the local agency if such land, improvements and equipment comply with its master plan for that park.

Immediately upon the approval or conditioned approval of the tentative map to the subdivider, the local agency providing parks shall initiate preparation of a master plan for the park area proposed to receive the credits. Such master plan shall be completed within the duration of the tentative map and not later than 36 months from approval of the tentative map.

C. At the time of approval of the final map, the subdivider shall dedicate land to the local agency providing parks if such dedication is consistent with the master plan. The subdivider and the local agency shall enter into a credit agreement whereby the subdivider agrees to pay a fee in lieu of dedication of land, and provide a bond or other security acceptable to the city guaranteeing the subdivider will pay the fee, in the amount of the remainder of the obligation calculated pursuant to subsection (A) of this section. The subdivider then shall specify the improvements to the dedicated land together with equipment located thereon he or she wishes to provide, consistent with

Page 458 of 538 ends

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 6
the master plan. The public agency shall proceed with a standard competitive bid process to arrive at the lowest responsible bidder for providing such improvements and equipment. Upon completion of the competitive bid process, the subdivider shall pay the fee, which shall be used to pay for such improvements and equipment. If no fee is paid, the bond or other security shall be used for such payment. The remainder of the fee or security, if any, shall be retained by the local agency.

D. If the developer and local agency agree to allow installation of park and recreational improvements and equipment located on the dedicated land, rather than providing a fee, bond, or other security pursuant to subsection (C) of this section, the developer may do so; provided, that such improvements are consistent with the park master plan.

The amount of credit to be given shall be determined jointly by the local agency providing parks, the department of public works, and the developer, based on evidence presented by the developer showing that such improvements were obtained and installed at a reasonable, competitive rate for the community. Only reasonable charges shall be eligible for credit under this section. The developer may choose to construct and provide such improvements and equipment only upon a showing to the department of public works and local agency providing parks that such a procedure will not result in costs in excess of that obtainable by using a competitive bidding process carried out by the public agency, pursuant to subsection (C) of this section. [Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].

This chapter is enacted by the city council of Rancho Cordova to supplement provisions of Chapter 22.52 SCC by providing for the city and local governmental agencies within the city a broader base for funds to acquire local parks and recreational facilities to serve residential areas within the city of Rancho Cordova. The city council has determined that:

A. It is inequitable to require only subdividers of real property pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 22.52 SCC to provide land or fees in lieu thereof for local parks or recreational facilities;

Page 459 of 538 ends

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 6
B. Apartment houses and single-family dwellings on individual lots place demands on local parks and recreational facilities which must be met if the recreational needs of all of the residents of the city of Rancho Cordova are to be served; C. The general welfare, health and safety of the residents of the city will be enhanced by the development of recreational facilities. Children and adults will be able to safely pursue recreational activities in areas specifically designed for recreational purposes; D. The dramatic increase in population and dwelling construction, particularly in the city of Rancho Cordova, has not been met with a corresponding availability of parks and local recreational facilities to serve the population. [Ord. 38-2007 § 1 (Exh. 1(A), (F)); Ord. 21-2003 §§ 2, 4; Ord. 20-2003 §§ 2, 4; SCC 88 § 1 (part), 1972. Formerly

22.170.020 Payment of fee.

A. Prior to the issuance of any building permit pursuant to Chapter 16.04 RCMC for a new principal residential structure or a multiple-family structure, a fee as determined herein shall be paid to the department of public works of parks provider for the city to be used for the acquisition and/or development of local parks and recreational facilities in the city. The fee shall be computed as follows:

1. Forty dollars for each principal single-family dwelling on a single lot;

2. Twenty-five dollars for each dwelling unit within a multiple-family structure.

B. Any fee shall be paid before the building permit to authorize the construction shall be issued by the department of public works of the city.

C. The schedule of payments is based on the application of the constants described in SCC 22.52.100 to a gross acre value of $5,000 per acre and shall be adjusted based on current appraised value prepared per section 22.40.045. The latter value has been determined by the city council to be an average land value applicable throughout the city of Rancho Cordova for land being developed in residential use. [Ord. 38-2007 § 1 (Exh. 1(A), (F)); Ord. 21-2003 §§ 2, 4; Ord. 20-2003 §§ 2, 4; SCC 88 § 1 (part), 1972.

Formerly 9.70.020].

MEMORANDUM

City Council Staff Report - Page 1 of 4

ITEM 12.1.

DATE: March 20, 2023

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

FROM: Stefan Heisler, Housing Manager

SUBJECT: MOBILE HOME PARK DRAFT SPACE RENT STABILIZATION

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING DISCUSSION

RECOMMENDATION

Receive presentation, provide feedback and direction to return to the City Council for approval of the draft memorandum of understanding.

RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff will present a draft space rent stabilization memorandum of understanding (MOU) for Council review and discussion. Staff is requesting Council direction on whether to adopt either the draft MOU or the previously approved space rent stabilization ordinance, make edits to the draft MOU, or investigate alternative options with the manufactured home park residents and park owners. If directed, staff would return to the City Council at a future date for adoption of the final MOU or ordinance.

BACKGROUND

Following resident requests to investigate the space rent and code enforcement issues in the City, on February 1, 2021, Council requested staff research various considerations of assuming responsibility for code enforcement in manufactured home parks, space rent control policies in other cities, and the effectiveness of those policies. On August 16, 2021, staff presented these topics and Council requested additional information about resident-owned communities and more information regarding various aspects of space rent stabilization ordinances. On November 9, 2021, staff presented additional details regarding resident-owned communities and several key aspects of typical space rent stabilization ordinances. Council directed staff to draft a space rent stabilization ordinance for Council review and discussion. On January 25, 2022, staff presented a draft space rent stabilization ordinance. The City Council voted to adopt the ordinance and, prior to adopting the ordinance, directed staff to continue meeting with park owners and park residents via an ad hoc committee to determine if there is a mutually agreed better way to address issues instead of adopting the approved ordinance. Therefore, the draft ordinance has been approved but has not been formally introduced for adoption.

The Mobile Home Park Ad Hoc Committee (Ad Hoc Committee) was established with three park owner representatives and the Western Manufactured Housing Communities Association (WMA), between three and six homeowner representatives, two City Council members and two city staff. The initial City Council members were Donald Terry and David Sander. On March 21,

Page 469 of 538 ends

City Council Staff Report - Page 2 of 4

2022, Donald Terry and Garrett Gatewood were reappointed as the City Council Ad Hoc Committee members. The Ad Hoc Committee met in 2022 on June 21, September 12, and November 1. These meetings focused on negotiating and translating the main terms in the approved ordinance into a 10-year memorandum of understanding.

At the November 1 Ad Hoc Committee meeting, all the parties agreed that a 10-year memorandum of understanding, with some modified terms from the approved ordinance detailed in the next section below, would be preferable to adopting the approved ordinance.

Following this meeting, staff began working with the City Attorney to draft the attached MOU based on the terms negotiated by the Ad Hoc Committee which is now the subject of this discussion. WMA and the park owners’ representatives from all eight of the manufactured home parks in Rancho Cordova have reviewed this draft MOU. It is staff’s understanding that this MOU adheres to the terms negotiated in the Ad Hoc Committee meetings and the park owners are willing to execute this agreement.

For reference, there are eight (8) manufactured home parks in the City of Rancho Cordova comprising 1,345 spaces. One park, Mobil Country Club, is restricted to people ages 55 and above. The terms manufactured home and mobile home are used interchangeably.

COMPARISION BETWEEN THE GENERAL COMPONENTS OF THE DRAFT ORDINANCE

AND THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

The following section details the main components of the draft MOU in comparison with the respective terms in the approved ordinance. In writing both the approved ordinance and the draft MOU the City Attorney and staff considered best practices from other jurisdictions in order to maximize efficient implementation.

Term: The draft MOU would apply to all eight manufactured home parks for a term of 10 years, whereas the approved ordinance will be in effect in perpetuity until repealed by the City Council.

Base Rent Date: The base rent in the draft MOU would be the rent amount on the effective date of the MOU, anticipated to be when the MOU is fully executed. The approved ordinance set the base rent amount to be the rent in effect as of February 1, 2021. The draft MOU and approved ordinance are substantially similar in situations where a new base rent calculation is allowed or prohibited.

Annual Increases: Annual space rent increases in the draft MOU would be limited to the same Consumer Price Index (CPI) metric as the draft ordinance. However, under the draft MOU, rent increases would be capped at 6% and would set a floor of 3%. Park owners may voluntarily increase rents by less than 3%. The draft ordinance sets a cap at 5% with no floor.

Fair Return Increases: Park owners would waive their right to fair return increases during the term of the MOU. In contrast, under the draft ordinance, park owners could apply to the City for a fair return increase involving a costly and staff intensive 3-to-6-month process.

Temporary Rent Increases for Capital Improvements and Replacements: The draft MOU would allow temporary rent increases for capital improvements and replacements without City approval. Capital improvements must be approved through a vote by a majority of spaces within a park. Advance notification must be provided to the city and park residents in the case of capital replacements.

Page 470 of 538 ends

City Council Staff Report - Page 3 of 4

In contrast, under the draft ordinance, the City must provide approvals to proceed with capital improvements or replacements upon a petition from park owners and only if specified criteria are met. Such a process would again be administratively intensive and increase the length of time needed for approvals.

Rent Subsidy Program for Low-Income Tenants: The draft MOU creates a requirement for all parks to provide a rent subsidy program to a minimum of 5% of spaces within each park.

This program will provide a credit for future rent increases, including pass-throughs, that go beyond half of the homeowner’s income. For homeowners in participating units who are already paying more than half of their income, this program would essentially freeze their payment at what it is today. The approved ordinance does not create any comparable requirement or program.

Continued Communication and Updates: While reducing the administrative processes, the draft MOU would increase the amount of annual reporting that parks would provide to the city.

Annually, the city would receive a report detailing annual CPI increases, pass throughs, and residents participating in the rent subsidy program. The report will be detailed enough to determine appropriate rents on each space within a park, greatly enhancing the availability and accuracy of space rent amounts going forward. The approved ordinance contains no substantially similar provision. Data and reports would only be submitted in the event of a fair return application or a temporary rent increase petition.

City Enforcement and Dispute Resolution: The draft MOU identifies the city as the enforcement agency and requires parties to first try to resolve disputes through mediation using a third-party city-provided mediator or neutral hearing officer before filing any action or lawsuit or seeking judicial relief. The approved ordinance allows the City, park owners, or residents to take civil action seeking damages and injunctive relief. While the MOU may involve the City earlier for enforcement than the approved ordinance, the terms and processes to be enforced in the draft MOU are much simpler and may be less likely to involve a lengthy legal battle in a court system.

Administrative Fee: The approved ordinance allows the City Council to establish a fee to cover the City’s costs of administering and implementing the ordinance. Such fees can be shared 50/50 between park owners and residents. The draft MOU contains no substantially similar provision.

OPTIONS FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION AND FEEDBACK

There are multiple options for the City Council to consider regarding this item. Several of these options are not mutually exclusive; the City could move forward with both the MOU and the ordinance. Possible options are listed below. Option 1 is the staff recommended option. In the event that the MOU is terminated for one or more parks the ordinance would only apply if it is formally adopted.

1. Finalize the MOU and return to a later City Council meeting for adoption.

2. Reconvene the Ad Hoc Committee to make additional edits to the draft MOU and return for further discussion.

3. Finalize the approved ordinance and formally introduce it for City Council adoption.

4. Make additional edits to the approved ordinance and return for further discussion.

Adoption of the draft MOU would have a modest fiscal impact on additional staff and consultant time to monitor adherence to the MOU terms and receive and review annual reports. Fiscal impacts will largely depend on the volume of disputes to be resolved.

Adoption of the approved space rent stabilization ordinance would have a fiscal impact on additional staff and consultant time to administer a new local program. Fiscal impacts will hinge on the amount of enforcement required and the volume of fair return, capital improvement, and capital replacement applications.

ITEM 12.1. ATTACHMENT 2 [RECORDERS SPACE]

MOBILE HOME PARK MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
THIS MOBILE HOME PARK MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (the "MOU ") is entered into as of , 2023 ("Effective Date") by and among the CITY OF RANCHO CORDOVA (the "City"), a California municipal corporation, and the owners ("Owners") of the mobile home parks ("Parks") identified on Exhibit A. Each individual Owner of a park will execute a substantively identical version of the MOU. This copy of the MOU is executed by the Owner of that Park commonly known as: ("Park")

RECITALS
This Agreement will be between the City and each park within the City of Rancho Cordova and shall contain substantively identical terms for each park.

This Agreement shall only be effective if all park owners within the City of Rancho Cordova enter into an agreement with the City; the effective date of this Agreement shall be when the last park owner in the City signs an Agreement with the City.

In order to avoid the negative consequences of a rent stabilization ordinance, including potential costly litigation and to maintain cordial relationships with their tenants, the Owners have agreed to attempt to negotiate a memorandum of understanding with the City that will (1) apply the provisions of this MOU to all existing tenants including good faith efforts to offer to amend the CPI formula rent increase provisions in any existing long term lease to conform to the terms of this MOU; and (2) waive during the term of this MOU any right an Owner would have had under a rent stabilization ordinance to apply for a Vega adjustment or an individual rent increase to maintain a fair return. In the event the Park becomes subject to a rent stabilization law or ordinance at some point after the effective date of this MOU, nothing in this MOU shall prevent Owner from applying for any rent increase Owner may be entitled to, including a Vega adjustment and/or a fair return adjustment.

This MOU: (1) is intended to operate as an alternative to a rent stabilization ordinance; (2) avoid excessive rent increases for the spaces in the Parks; (3) is intended by the City to provide the Owners with the opportunity to receive a reasonable return on their investment in the parks; and (4) to increase communication between Park Owners, residents, and the City.

The City and Owners intend that this MOU will govern the Parks and the rights of the Owners and Homeowners in those Parks (who are third party beneficiaries) during the Term and provide protections and benefits to the Owners and Homeowners of those Parks. The real property comprising the above-named Park is set forth in Exhibit A and this MOU shall be recorded against that real property until such time as this Agreement expires or terminates.

ITEM 12.1. ATTACHMENT 2 The Owner or Owners and the City acknowledge that the parties may discuss potential amendments to this MOU at any time during the term of this MOU, provided such amendments will be subject to approval by the City Council and the applicable Owner or Owners.

Base rent does not include any rent credits or other reductions in rent provided by Owner to Homeowner on or after the effective date of this MOU. For example, in the event a Homeowner with a Base a Rent of $1,000 per month receives a $50 Annual Base Rent Increase, but also qualifies for a $50 per month rent credit under the Rent Subsidy Program For Low Income Tenants, the Homeowner’s Base Rent would be $1,050, even though the qualifying Homeowner would pay only $1,000.

Base Rent shall not include utilities, fees, or incidental reasonable charges for services actually rendered that are specifically allowed by law, including the MRL.

C. “Capital Improvement” means the installation of new improvements and facilities that do not currently exist at the Park, but does not include ordinary maintenance or repairs or Capital Replacement Costs. Capital Improvements are required to be amortized over the useful life of the improvements pursuant to the provisions of this Chapter and the United States Internal Revenue Code.

D. “Capital Replacement” means an improvement required to maintain the common facilities and areas of the Park in a decent, safe and sanitary condition or to maintain the existing level of park amenities and services. If the expenditure qualifies for treatment as a capital expenditure which must be depreciated under the Internal Revenue Code, it is a Capital Replacement. If it can be fully deducted in one year as a business expense, it does not qualify as a Capital Replacement.
