APPROVAL: Colby Cataldi, Director of Community Development FROM: Paul Gonzales, Community Development Manger
Amendments to the Outdoor Storage Yard Uses For Trailers And/Or Truck Yard Uses.
BACKGROUND
On December 13, 2022, at a regularly scheduled City Council meeting, Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 1674 was adopted by the City Council prohibiting the establishment and/or expansion of outdoor storage uses for trailer and/or truck yards. The ordinance went into effect immediately for forty-five (45) days from the date of its adoption.
At the January 24, 2023, City Council meeting, the City Council extended the moratorium 22 months and 15 days. Staff was directed to develop recommendations and bring the revisions forward to the Economic Development Committee and to City Council for further consideration.
The definitions for “outdoorstorage use”and “truckyards”that currently allow for the storage of both trucks and trailers on properties within the City with approval of a discretionary entitlement via the Conditional Development Permit (CDP) process through the Planning Commission. The definitions of outdoor storage use and truck yard are listed below.
18.104.015 - Definitions
“Outdoor storage use”means establishments that engage primarily in the outdoor storage of goods, materials (except temporary storage of construction materials associated with an active building permit), machines, vehicles, trailers, and other equipment. “Truck yard”is a type of outdoor storage use whereby an outdoor lot, lot area, or parcel of land used, is designed and maintained primarily for the purpose of storing, parking, dispatching, or keeping motor trucks, tractors, bobtails, and associated equipment together with or without facilities necessary to service, dispatch, store or maintain aforementioned vehicles, their cargos and crews.
Outdoor Storage Uses and Truck Yard are allowed in the Light Industrial and General Industrial zones City wide and within the Industrial planning areas in the different Specific Plans, excluding the Renaissance Specific Plan or the Gateway Specific Plan, where they are expressly prohibited.
It is important to note, warehouses with or without outdoor truck bays are not regulated as Outdoor Storage Uses or Truck Yards as they are classified under a separate warehouse use pursuant to the “Indoor Storage Uses” development regulations under Chapter 18.112 of the Rialto Municipal Code.

ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION
The outdoor storage of trailers and trucking yards are supporting uses for the industrial commerce industry in the City of Rialto. With the consistent influx of industrial buildings into the City for the past 15 years, the City has seen more requests for these types of uses. On January 26, 2021, the City Council adopted the Outdoor Storage Yard Ordinance No. 1654 (Zoning Code Amendment No. 2020- 004) to regulate truck parking and outdoor storage yards related to industrial developments. The regulations are found in Chapter 18.104 of the Rialto Municipal Code. Staff was directed to analyze and amend this chapter and schedule for a future Economic Development Committee (EDC) meeting and future City Council meeting.
City staff, further studied the outdoor storage of trailers use and recommended modification to further limit adverse impacts on the environment, traffic, aesthetics, and visual quality of properties within the City. As previously mentioned, City Council extended the moratorium up to 22 months and 15 days but directed staff to bring the recommended amendments sooner for City Council consideration. Draft sections were crafted and include additional conditions and language to ensure these uses are regulated appropriately and health and safety of residents is taken into consideration (Attachment 1).
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the EDC discuss and provide staff feedback regarding potential revisions for Outdoor Storage Yard Uses for Trailers and Truck Yard Uses.

This was presented to the City Council ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the moratorium extension and made available to the public.
Proactive measures taken by staff included placing on-hold the three (3) active applications submitted to the City for outdoor storage of tractors and trailers. Community Compliance has also actively monitored open code compliance cases on nonpermitted outdoor trailer storage and truck yards identified throughout the City that are in different stages of enforcement. Nonpermitted outdoor storage yards have caused concern for residents of the City, as they regularly locate on sites that are unimproved resulting in public health, and safety impacts caused by congestion, dust, parking, poor File #: 23-072, Version: 1

unimproved resulting in public health, and safety impacts caused by congestion, dust, parking, poor air quality, and site degradation.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION
During the existing 45-day interim urgency moratorium adopted by the City Council on December 13th , 2022, City staff has reviewed standards in Chapter 18 of the Municipal Code for additional regulation of outdoor storage facilities for trucking yards and outdoor storage of trailers.
City staff, the Planning Commission, and the City Council each require a reasonable period of time to further study the outdoor storage of trailers use and determine the potential adverse impacts on the environment, traffic, aesthetics, and visual quality of properties within the City. As previously mentioned, the City Council may extend the moratorium up to 22 months and 15 days to allow staff time to completely analyze and craft recommendations for the City Council’sconsideration. If the City Council adopts and extension of time for the moratorium, City staff will further analyze and review the Rialto Municipal Code (RMC) specifically for outdoor storage trailer uses. Draft sections to be crafted will include additional conditions and language to ensure these uses are regulated appropriately and health and safety of residents is taken into consideration. City staff will recommend these amendments for the City Council’s consideration at a future City Council meeting.
Extension of Time for Interim Ordinance
The City Council may adopt an interim urgency ordinance (Attachment 2) prohibiting outdoor storage of trailers and trucking yards that may conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the legislative body is considering or studying within a reasonable time.
Given the preparatory timeframe, the City Council would need to extend the urgency ordinance prior to the expiration of the initial 45-day period if the Council chooses to extend the moratorium. State law allows the extension of an Urgency Ordinance for an additional period of 22 months and 15 days after holding a noticed public hearing. If the Ordinance is extended, the expiration date will be December 9, 2024. The approval for an extension is done by a four-fifths vote of the City Council.
The City published notice in the San Bernardino Sun in accordance with Section 65090 of the Government Code.
Upon adoption of the extension of the interim urgency ordinance, the moratorium will continue to be in effect after notice pursuant to Government Code Section 65090 and a public hearing, the City Council extension for an additional period of time pursuant to Government Code 65858.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the interim urgency ordinance is not subject to CEQA because the project will not have a significant effect or physical change to the environment.
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The proposed moratorium is consistent with the following guiding principles and policies contained in the General Plan:

SCAG Grant Funding Opportunity REAP 2.0
BACKGROUND
The Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) program, established in 2019 by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), provides grant funding for planning activities aimed at accelerating housing production. REAP Grants of 2021 (REAP 2.0) expand the program for planning and implementation investments that support infill development.
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Eligible Block Groups between Foothill Boulevard and Merrill Avenue, including the Central Area of the City, are prime locations for infill housing development and could benefit the REAP 2.0 program.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION
Funding for the CDBG Eligible Block Groups in residential areas may be used to support the development and redevelopment of smaller multi-family housing such as two-, three-, and four-unit projects.
Funding in the central area may be used to advance the Rialto Downtown Vision and Strategic Plan.
The document includes three priority focus areas along Riverside Avenue, near the Metrolink Station, and the Civic Center campus. Each area includes opportunities for residential and mixed-use projects.
Staff has contemplated activities that could be funded through REAP 2.0. Those activities include:
1. Analysis of and strategies to increase project feasibility
2. A program to support development and redevelopment of smaller multi-family projects
3. Exploring partnerships with schools and churches to incorporate residential into their existing or potential development
4. Analysis of available infrastructure to support residential development
5. A strategy to leverage opportunity zones to facilitate residential development.
SCAG anticipates releasing a Call for Applications to local jurisdictions in late April/May 2023.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the EDC discuss potential REAP 2.0 funded activities.
