WHEREAS, mobile vending vehicles provide convenient dining options and contribute to the economic vitality of the community while offering entrepreneurial opportunities for small businesses; and
WHEREAS, the operation of mobile vending vehicles in residential neighborhoods can create noise pollution, litter, traffic congestion, and other impacts that disturb the quiet enjoyment of residential areas; and
WHEREAS, mobile vending vehicles parked adjacent to parks and recreational facilities attract pedestrians, including children, who may cross streets mid -block to reach vendors, creating increased risk of vehicle -pedestrian collisions, and the City finds that a buffer distance of two hundred (200) feet from park boundaries is reasonable and necessary to protect public safety, parti cularly the safety of children; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that similar safety concerns exist around events where large crowds gather, and that maintaining a two hundred (200) foot buffer from event perimeters will reduce pedestrian -vehicle conflicts, traffic congestion, and ensure emergency access routes remain clear; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to accommodate mobile vending vehicle operations in appropriate commercial and mixed -use zones while protecting the character and tranquility of exclusively residential neighborhoods and ensuring public safety near parks and events; and
WHEREAS, California Vehicle Code section 22455 expressly authorizes local authorities to adopt additional requirements for the public safety regulating the type of vending, and the time, place, and manner of vending from vehicles on public streets; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that these time, place, and manner regulations are necessary to protect public health, safety, and welfare, including the protection of residential neighborhoods from commercial intrusion and the protection of pedestrians near parks and events, while allowing reasonable opportunities for mobile vending vehicle operations in appropriate locations consistent with state law; and
WHEREAS, these regulations allow mobile vending vehicle operations in commercial and mixed-use zones while restricting operations in exclusively residential zones and near parks and events, thereby balancing business opportunities with public safety and neighborhood protection.

Department: City Manager’s Office
______________________________________________________________________
Recommendation: Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Approving a Shared Use Parking Lot Agreement between the City of Rocklin and G3 Concepts, Inc.
Background: The Rocklin Public Market (RPM) is a proposed project consisting of four buildings and a central plaza overlooking Quarry Park Adventures. The development consists of a two-story retail building, a two -floor market hall, a three -story mixed-use building with 20 residential units above ground -floor commercial space, and a two -story brewery and restaurant. The project also includes a new parking lot designed to function together with nearby City-owned parking areas.
The approximately 3 -acre project site is located at 5255 Pacific Street, identified as Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 010-170-026 (see Figure 1). The property is within the Business Attraction, Retention, and Revitalization Overlay (BARRO) Zone, established by the City Council in 2012 and amended in 2025.
The subject property is known as the Big Gun site. Located directly behind City Hall, the Big Gun Quarry was the last operational granite quarry in the area. For decades, the site contained several large quarry structures, including the Big Gun cutting shed, related buildings, and various mining equipment. These structures and equipment were removed by the City in 2017.
32 Figure 1 – Project Site and Shared Use Parking Lots
The Big Gun site is owned by the Successor Agency to the former Redevelopment Agency for the City of Rocklin. On January 23, 2024, the City Council, acting as the Successor Agency, approved a purchase and sale agreement (PSA) transferring the property to G3 Concepts, Inc., the project applicant.
G3 Concepts , Inc. (G3) is a development firm that specializes in commercial and multifamily projects, including the SLO Public Market in San Luis Obispo, which they own and operate and which features more than 20 business types. Their proposal for the Big Gun site is the Rocklin Public Market, a mixed -use project that includes a public market building with food and beverage vendors on the first floor and an open second floor space for events and overflow seating. A second standalone building would accommodate a brewery/restaurant, along with a private covered outdoor patio. Additional buildings would provide traditional retail and office space, as well as 20 residential units.
One condition precedent to closing in the PSA is that the City and G3 enter into a shared parking agreement allowing the project to take advantage of excess parking proximate to the site identified as “Parking Lot” and “Unimproved Parking Lot” in Figure 1.
As a project within the BARRO Zone, typical City parking standards do not apply. Instead, pursuant to Rocklin Municipal Code (RMC) Section 17.59.060, parking requirements shall 33 be determined on a project specific basis by the Co mmunity Development Director after consideration of the on-site parking standards listed in the RMC, the physical constraints of the property in question, and the availability of nearby parking facilities.
The proposed Shared Parking Lot Use Agreement c reates advantages for both the City and G3. The project is able to ensure adequate parking for all uses. The City receives substantial improvements to the Unimproved Parking Lot at no cost to the City. In addition, the City retains rights to utilize both shared parking lots for event parking, such as during Quarry Park Amphitheatre concerts, and in emergency situations. The agreement also continues to allow Quarry Park Adventures to share use of both parking lots in question.
Rights to the physical improvements of the Unimproved Parking Lot to be installed by G3 will vest with the Lessee during the term of the agreement. The Lessee will also have rights to leverage the physical improvements for construction financing for the lease term to allow for consistency in overall project financing.
The project proposes to construct 85 onsite parking spaces. Of these, the project would provide 37 residential parking spaces, which would consist of 4 attached private garages, 16 covered, dedicated carport spaces, and 17 uncovered parking spaces. The project is also proposing to improve the Unimproved Parking Lot, which has historically been used as parking overflow for concerts. It is estimated that this new parking lot would yield approximately 88 parking spaces, according to estimates from G3.
The Shared Use Parking Lot Agreement also provides the project with access to 63 additional spaces immediately adjacent to the site (Parking Lot on Figure 1), which were previously constructed for public use.
Below is an analysis using the City’s normal parking standards on the project showing the benefit of this shared use agreement.
Project Use Parking Standard Typical Required Parking
Spaces [1]
20 1-Bedroom Apt. Units 1.5 Spaces per 1 bedroom
unit + 25% visitor parking 38
47,597 Sq. Ft. Mixed
Commercial Use 1 space per 200 sq. ft. 238
Total Required Parking Spaces (RMC) 276
Total Parking Inventory (RPM) 236
1. Per Rocklin Municipal Code 17.59.060 C – Special Standards – Parking, the Community Development Director shall determine parking requirements on a project specific basis.
34 As shown, based on typical standards in the RMC, the project would be required to provide 276 parking spaces. Through the construction of the on -site parking lot (85 spaces), improvement of the Unimproved Parking Lot (88 spaces), and access to the existing Parking Lot adjacent to Pacific Street (63 spaces), the project would have direct access to 236 parking spaces as a result of the RPM. This would result in a deficit of approximately 40 parking spaces, based on standard requirements.
As previously discussed, the BARRO Zone allows for parking to be established on a project-specific basis, based on not only the proposed on -site uses, but also based on surrounding parking inventory. In 2017, the Planning Commission reviewed and ultimately approved the Rocklin Adventure at Quarry Park project. At that time, the City conducted an assessment of parking opportunities in the project vicinity and determined that there were approximately 970 on- and off-street available parking spaces within one- half mile of the project site. This includes 98 parking spaces which are located in the City Hall/Quarry Park parking lot, approximately 300 feet east of the project. Of note, the City Hall/Quarry Park parking lot’s peak use is Monday through Thursday during normal business hours while RPM’s peak usage will likely by on nights and weekends.
Therefore, while there may be a small deficit of on -site parking for the project, there is ample off-site parking inventory available to make up for this shortfall, consistent with the requirements of the BARRO Zone.
With the Shared Use Parking Lot Agreement, the project will make up a substantial portion of the gap in available spaces with immediately site adjacent parking. There will be minimal overlap in peak usage between Quarry Park Adventures and RPM, and other proximate public parking allowing for better utilization of the existing lots. In addition, during peak City usage under the agreement such as concert nights, there will by synergy as many concert goers will also visit RPM.
This Shared Use Parking Lot Agreement will assist to provide RPM with adequate parking within the immediate vicinity of the project. The City will also have an improved parking lot with enhanced security lighting for visitors. Staff recommends approval of the attached Shared Use Parking Lot Agreement between the City and G3 Concepts, Inc.
Fiscal Impact: There is minimal fiscal impact to this agreement. G3 Concepts, Inc. will pay rent in advance equivalent to $1 per year in exchange for non -exclusive use of the parking lots, and is also responsible for general upkeep and maintenance of the parking lots during the use term.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, terms, conditions, and covenants set forth below, City and Lessee hereby mutually agree as follows:
1. PARKING LOT
Subject to the City’s rights as described in Section 5 herein, throughout the term of this Agreement, Lessee is granted the non-exclusive use of the Existing Lot and the Parking Lot both as depicted on Exhibit A attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference.

Lessee shall use the Existing Lot and the Parking Lot and maintain the Parking Lot in a manner consistent with all applicable laws and regulations and shall at its sole expense secure any operational permits for the Parking Lot required by local, state, or federal agencies (“Permitted Use”).
Lessee shall have the non-exclusive right of ingress to and egress from the Existing Lot and the Parking Lot over and across the roadways and driveways on City Property. City shall have the non-exclusive right of ingress to and egress from the Existing Lot and Parking Lot to access roadways and driveways on City Property.

5. SHARED USE
Lessee’s right to use the Existing Lot and the Parking Lot is non-exclusive. Lessee acknowledges that City has previously granted Adventure Operations LLC, the operator of the Quarry Adventure Park, a non-exclusive right to use the Existing Lot and the Parking Lot by Lease Agreement dated January 1, 2023. Further, the City reserves the non-exclusive right to use the Existing Lot and Parking Lot as overflow for City sponsored events or to allow other governmental and private entities the non-exclusive right to temporarily use the Existing Lot and Parking Lot for short-term events at City’s reasonable discretion. As a municipal facility, nothing in this agreement precludes the City from exercising its police power (specifically the authority to take over full use of the Existing Lot and/or Parking Lot for any duration during an active emergency situation).
6. PARKING LOT CONDITION AND POSSESSION
Lessee acknowledges and represents that it has had a reasonable opportunity to access the Existing Lot and the Parking Lot and conduct any inspections and/or investigations of the Parking Lot, which it considers necessary or prudent, and that Lessee has determined that the Existing Lot is satisfactory to its purpose, and the Parking Lot, subject to the Parking Lot Improvements being completed by Lessee is satisfactory for its purpose.
Lessee agrees that it shall take the Existing Lot and the Parking Lot “as is” as of the Effective Date, pursuant to the terms, conditions, and improvements specified in this Agreement.
7. IMPROVEMENTS BY LESSEE
On or before, the Lessee receives the Certificate of Occupancy for the first building to be constructed by Lessee as part of Lessee’s Project, Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, cause the Parking Lot to be paved, striped and lit in accordance with the requirements of this Section 7, hereinafter referred to as the “Parking Lot Improvements”.

Shade trees of appropriate size and species shall be planted in locations that will achieve at least 50 percent shading coverage at tree maturity (15 years after planting).

8. PREVAILING WAGES
Lessee acknowledges that City has made no representation, express or implied, to Lessee or any person associated with Lessee regarding whether or not laborers employed relative to any construction on the Parking Lot must be paid the prevailing per diem wage rate for their labor classification, as determined by the State of California, pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1720 et seq. Lessee agrees with City that Lessee shall assume the responsibility and be solely responsible for determining whether or not laborers employed relative to any construction on the Parking Lot undertaken by Lessee must be paid the prevailing per diem wage rate for their labor classification, as determined by the State of California, pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1720 et seq. City shall not be under any duty to monitor or ensure the compliance of Lessee with any State of California labor laws, including, without limitation, prevailing wage laws.
Lessee shall indemnify City in accordance with the provisions of Section 17 “Indemnification” below against any claims pursuant to California Labor Code Section 41 1781 arising from Lessee construction of any improvements, work, or alterations on the Parking Lot.
9. OWNERSHIP OF IMPROVEMENTS
During the Term of this Agreement, title to the Parking Lot Improvements, and any future additions or alterations shall vest in Lessee.

10. TITLE TO PROPERTY
Title to the City Property underlying the Parking Lot and the Existing Lot, shall remain vested in City. Lessee shall have the right to encumber its leasehold interest in the Parking Lot and the Existing Lot as provided in Section 23 below, but shall have no right to encumber City’s fee interest in the Parking Lot or the Existing Lot.
11. SURRENDER
Upon expiration or sooner termination of the Term, Lessee shall have removed all of its personal property and vehicles remaining on the Parking Lot and the Existing Lot. Lessee shall surrender the Existing Lot in its then “as-is” condition, and shall be prepared to surrender the Parking Lot in satisfactory condition pursuant to Lessee’s maintenance obligations set forth in this Agreement as reasonably determined by City, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Lessee shall leave the Parking Lot in such condition that it shall not be in violation of any rules or regulations governing the condition of the Parking Lot or in violation of any land- use, building, health, or safety code, and shall not be subject to undue erosion or degradation by environmental conditions and pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
12. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS OF PARKING LOT
Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain all portions of the Parking Lot, Parking Lot lighting and any Parking Lot Improvements made thereon specifically for the benefit of Lessee, and any underground utility distribution systems used solely by Lessee within or outside the Parking Lot in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, whether now or hereafter enacted, and this Agreement. The Parking Lot shall at all times be kept in a clean, safe, and orderly condition and appearance (in the City Manager’s reasonable discretion) and Lessee shall at its own cost and expense repair or replace any damage done to the Parking Lot, initial or future Parking Lot Improvements, or neighboring properties caused by Lessee. City shall not be required to notify Lessee to perform any of Lessee’s maintenance responsibilities hereunder. However, if City gives such notice, and Lessee fails to commence and, thereafter, diligently prosecute completion of the maintenance which is called for within 30 days of such notice, City may at its option, itself perform, or cause to be performed, such work and shall seek reimbursement additional Rent.
42 The City requires that the Parking Lot have a slurry seal and parking stall striping applied to the parking lot surfaces as periodic maintenance. Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall complete this maintenance every five (5) years, beginning on the 5th anniversary of the Effective Date of this Agreement, on the 10th anniversary, and then on the 15th before this Agreement expires.
13. TRASH, GARBAGE, STORAGE AND PARKING LIMITATIONS
Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, provide a complete and proper arrangement for the adequate sanitary handling and disposal away from the Parking Lot of all trash, waste, garbage, and other refuse resulting from, or in any way associated with, Lessee's operations hereunder. Lessee shall not store or permit to be stored any materials, parts, or vehicles in, on or about the Parking Lot which are not incidental to Lessee’s operation of the Lessee Property. Lessee shall not permit any vehicle to be parked in the Parking Lot for more than seventy-two (72) consecutive hours. However, Lessee is not responsible for enforcement if unauthorized parties park more than seventy-two (72) consecutive hours, provided the Lessee notifies the City’s Police Department if Lessee is aware that a vehicle is parked in excess of this requirement.
14. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Lessee shall not bring, keep, use, generate, or dispose of on the Parking Lot in violation of applicable laws any substance, material, and/or waste that is or becomes regulated or classified as hazardous or toxic under any federal, state, or local laws or regulations. The hold harmless and indemnification provisions set forth below apply to any claims, losses, and/or liabilities associated with any such hazardous or toxic substance, material, and/or waste brought, used, or disposed of on the Parking Lot by Lessee in violation of applicable laws.
15. SIGNS
Lessee shall not erect, install, or construct any sign on the Parking Lot without the prior written consent of City. City reserves the right to remove any unauthorized signs without notice, and at Lessee’s sole expense. In the event City determines that any of Lessee’s signs present on the Parking Lot prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement are unacceptable, then Lessee shall remove said signage within thirty (30) days following receipt of a notice to remove said signage. Notwithstanding, Lessee shall have the right to erect and install signage on the Existing Lot and the Parking Lot indicating patrons, customers and invitees of Lessee’s Project may utilize the Existing Lot and Parking Lot.
The City has sole discretion for approval of such signage.
16. INSURANCE
It is agreed that Lessee shall maintain at all times during the performance of this Agreement insurance coverage in the amounts of not less than One Million Dollars 43 ($1,000,000) to cover all of its operations, including General Liability, Automobile Liability and provide Workers’ Compensation insurance in the statutory amount (or in the amount of $1,000,000). Failure to comply with this Section 16 shall be considered a material default of this Agreement. The maximum deductible or self-insurance retention must be approved by the City Manager, which approval shall not be (a) unreasonably withheld, or (b) withheld if such deductible or retention is a commercially reasonable amount.
17. INDEMNIFICATION
Lessee shall indemnify and hold City harmless from and defend City against any and all claims of liability for any injury, death, or damage to any person or property occurring in, on or about the Parking Lot when such injury, death or damage is caused in part or in whole by the act, neglect, fault, or omission of any duty with respect to the same by Lessee, its agents, contractors, or employees.
Lessee shall be required to provide notice to the City within thirty (30) working days of the date when Lessee is made aware of the occurrence of any such claim.
In case any action or proceeding is brought against City by reason of any such claim, Lessee, upon notice from City, shall defend the same at Lessee’s expense provided, however, that Lessee shall not be liable for damage or injury solely occasioned by the active negligent or intentional acts of City and its designated agents or employees, and City shall indemnify, defend and hold Lessee harmless for same. City shall be required to provide notice to Lessee within thirty (30) working days of the date when City is made aware of the occurrence of any such claim.
18. AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
Lessee acknowledges that it is aware of the provisions and requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) of 1990 and is hereby notified that the Parking Lot may not comply with all of the provisions of the ADA. By execution of this Agreement, Lessee acknowledges and agrees that it is Lessee’s sole responsibility to determine the suitability of the Parking Lot for its intended use. Lessee’s compliance with ADA guidelines shall apply to Lessee’s use of the Parking Lot, to any signage associated with Lessee’s use of the Parking Lot, and to the improvements and/or alterations to the Parking Lot made by Lessee. In case any claim, action, or proceeding is brought against Lessee or City in regard to compliance with the ADA, which is caused in whole or in part by Lessee, its agents, employees, or contractors acts or omissions in the construction required by Section 7, or the maintenance and repair required by this Agreement, Lessee shall defend, indemnify and hold City harmless, as provided for in the Indemnification Section 17 of this Agreement.

Additional terms of this Agreement are set forth in Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as though fully set forth herein. 44 20. POSSESSORY INTEREST TAXES
Lessee’s interest in this Agreement may be subject to taxation as a possessory interest in publicly owned property as described in California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 107.6, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit B. For every year that this Agreement is in effect on January 1st Lessee may be required to pay possessory interest taxes on or before August 31st of that same year. Failure of Lessee to pay any such taxes shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. Lessee shall indemnify and hold harmless the City against any claims against City by a federal or state taxing authority related to Lessee’s obligations under this Section.
21. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION
Lessee hereby waives any right of recovery from City, its officers and employees for any loss or damage (including consequential loss) resulting from any of the perils insured against in the standard form fire insurance policy with extended coverage endorsement if agreeable by Lessee’s insurance carrier. Lessee shall cause each insurance policy obtained by it to provide that the insurance company waives all right of recovery by way of subrogation against the City in connection with any damage covered by any policy. If any insurance cannot be obtained with a waiver of subrogation, Lessee shall notify City of this fact. City shall have a period of ten (10) days after receiving the notice either to place the insurance with a company that is reasonably satisfactory to the other party and that will carry the insurance with a waiver of subrogation, or to agree to pay the additional premium if such a policy is obtainable at additional cost.
22. GOOD NEIGHBOR POLICY
Lessee and City may, as reasonably necessary, jointly develop and adopt a Good Neighbor Policy addressing policies and procedures related to the Parking Lot. Such policies and procedures may address the use of designated smoking areas (if any) and parking areas so as to ensure the safe and appropriate use of Lessee and City facilities.
Said policies may also address the control of access to parking areas on the Parking Lot and on the City Property. The Parties shall meet annually, prior to the close of the Fiscal Year, to discuss operational issues, review existing policies and procedures, and develop and agree upon new or updated policies and procedures.
23. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Lessee shall not assign, transfer, or hypothecate this Agreement or portion thereof or any right or privilege thereto (a “Transfer”) or permit any other person/party (the agents, clients, invitees, and servants of Lessee excepted) to occupy or use the Existing Lot, Parking Lot, or any portions thereof.
45 24. LEASEHOLD FINANCING
24.1 No subordination. City shall not be required to subject its fee estate and interest in the Parking Lot or the Existing Lot to the lien of any leasehold financing or mortgage sought or obtained by Lessee.
24.2 Lessee’s Right to Encumber. Lessee is hereby given the right (exercisable at any time and from time to time) by City, in addition to any other rights herein granted, without City’s prior written consent, approval, or authorization, to hypothecate, pledge, encumber, or mortgage its interest in this Agreement, the leasehold estate in the Existing Lot and Parking Lot created hereby, the Parking Lot Improvements, or any part or parts thereof or interest therein, under one or more leasehold mortgage(s) in favor of a lender (“Leasehold Mortgage”) and to assign such interest in this Agreement, the leasehold estate in the Existing Lot and Parking Lot created hereby, the Parking Lot Improvements, or any part or parts thereof or interest therein as collateral security for such Leasehold Mortgage(s) (or to assign its interest in the same in connection with an assignment and leaseback transaction). Such rights to encumber are conditioned on the following: (a) all rights acquired under such Leasehold Mortgage(s) shall, except as expressly provided in this Section 24, be subject to each and all of the covenants, conditions or restrictions set forth in this Agreement, and to all rights and interests of City herein; and (b) no such Leasehold Mortgage shall be cross-defaulted with any other loan. None of such covenants, conditions, or restrictions is or shall be waived by City by reason of the right given to mortgage such interest in this Agreement, except as expressly provided herein.
The holder of any Leasehold Mortgage shall be referred to herein as the “Leasehold Mortgagee” and shall be entitled to the rights and benefits as provided herein.
The execution and delivery of any Leasehold Mortgage shall not be deemed to constitute a Transfer of this Agreement within the meaning of Section 23, nor shall a Leasehold Mortgagee, as such, be deemed a transferee of this Agreement so as to require such Leasehold Mortgagee to assume the performance of any of the terms, covenants, or conditions on the part of Lessee to be performed hereunder.
24.3 Notices. Provided that a Leasehold Mortgagee shall have notified City in writing of its status as a Leasehold Mortgagee and its name and address by delivering such notice to the City pursuant to Section 26 below, City thereafter shall give to such Leasehold Mortgagee a copy of each notice of default at the same time as any such notice shall be given by City to Lessee, such copy to be addressed to Leasehold Mortgagee at the address provided to City and delivered in accordance with Section 26 below.
Additionally, City shall give a Leasehold Mortgagee written notice of any rejection of this Agreement in bankruptcy proceedings. City shall not serve a notice of cancellation or termination on Lessee unless a copy of any prior notice of default shall have been given to Leasehold Mortgagee and the time for the curing of such default pursuant to Section
24.4 shall have expired without the same having been cured, and no such notice of default shall be effective as to such Leasehold Mortgagee not receiving notice in the manner set forth in Section 26 below. City agrees to notify a Leasehold Mortgagee in writing in the 46 manner set forth in Section 26 of the failure of Lessee to cure a default within any applicable grace period and of the curing of any default by Lessee, and the Leasehold Mortgagee shall have the additional cure periods pursuant to Section 24.4. The performance by a Leasehold Mortgagee of any condition or agreement on the part of Lessee to be performed hereunder will be deemed to have been performed with the same force and effect as though performed by Lessee.
24.4 Right to Cure. City will accept performance by a Leasehold Mortgagee within the following periods of any obligation to be performed by Lessee under this Agreement, with the same force and effect as though timely performed by Lessee:
(a) As to any Rent and other sums payable hereunder, within ten (10) days after written notice from City that Lessee has not cured such default within the period provided in Section 25.1.
(b) As to all other Events of Default, within thirty (30) days after written notice from City (delivered by City to Leasehold Mortgagee in accordance with Section 26 below) that Lessee has not cured within the applicable period provided in Section 25.1, or, if within such additional thirty (30) day period such Event of Default cannot be cured, to commence to so cure within such thirty (30) day period and diligently and continuously proceed therewith to completion; provided that the period for cure shall not exceed ninety (90) days (excepting in the event the delay in curing is caused by the circumstance that the Leasehold Mortgagee is prohibited by any process or injunction or bankruptcy or insolvency involving Lessee from commencing or prosecuting foreclosure or other appropriate proceedings in the nature thereof). In addition, in those instances that reasonably require any Leasehold Mortgagee to be in possession of the Existing Lot and Parking Lot to cure any Event of Default by Lessee, the time allowed any Leasehold Mortgagee to cure any Event of Default by Lessee shall be deemed extended to included the reasonable period of time required by any Leasehold Mortgagee to obtain such possession of the Parking Lot with due diligence, and in those instances in which any Leasehold Mortgagee is prohibited by any process or injunction or any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving Lessee from commencing or prosecuting foreclosure or other appropriate proceedings in the nature thereof, the time herein allowed any Leasehold Mortgagee to prosecute such foreclosure or other proceeding shall be extended for the period of such prohibition; provided that, in either such instance, such Leasehold Mortgagee makes payments of Rent and any other monetary payments to City in accordance with the terms and within the time frames set forth in this Agreement.
(c) As to any Event of Default with respect to which a Leasehold Mortgagee is without the legal power to cure by payment or performance, a Leasehold Mortgagee shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from City delivered in accordance with Section 26 below of such Event of Default within which to give City written notice that the Leasehold Mortgagee or a wholly owned subsidiary or affiliate of the Leasehold Mortgagee elects to become the Lessee 47 under this Agreement in the place and stead of Lessee on all the terms, covenants, and conditions provided in this Agreement and shall pay to City all expenses and reasonable attorney fees incurred by City in connection with such Event of Default.
24.5 Exercise of Remedies. In the event of any Event of Default by Lessee, and if, before the expiration of the applicable grace period specified in Section 24.4, a Leasehold Mortgagee gives City written notice that it intends to undertake the curing of such Event of Default, or to cause the same to be cured, or to exercise its rights to acquire the leasehold interest of Lessee by foreclosure or otherwise, and immediately commences and then proceeds with all due diligence to do so, whether by performance on behalf of Lessee of its obligations under this Agreement, or by entry on the Existing Lot and Parking Lot by foreclosure or otherwise, then City shall not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement during the time that the Leasehold Mortgagee shall require to complete its remedies under its Leasehold Mortgage within the parameters set forth in Section 24.4(b); provided, however:
(a) that Leasehold Mortgagee proceeds, promptly and with due diligence, to exercise the remedies under its Leasehold Mortgage and thereafter prosecutes and completes the same with all due diligence; and
(b) that Leasehold Mortgagee shall pay to City the Rent and all other charges required to be paid by Lessee hereunder that have accrued and those that shall become due and payable during such period.
On the completion of any foreclosure proceedings or acquisition of Lessee’s interest in this Agreement by Leasehold Mortgagee in conformity with the provisions of this Agreement, if there has been a default not susceptible of being cured by Leasehold Mortgagee shall be deemed waived by City as to Leasehold Mortgagee any purchaser at a foreclosure sale, and their respective successors and assigns.
24.6 Cancellation. Subject to a Leasehold Mortgagee’s rights pursuant to Sections 24.4–24.5, and provided that a Leasehold Mortgagee shall have notified City in writing of its status as a Leasehold Mortgagee and its name and address as required in Section 23.4 above, City shall also be obligated to give any notice of cancellation and termination to a Leasehold Mortgagee, simultaneously with such notice given to Lessee.
No such notice to Lessee shall be effective with respect to termination of this Agreement unless a Leasehold Mortgagee shall also have been so notified consistent with Section
26. A Leasehold Mortgagee shall then have the right to notify City in writing, within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Leasehold Mortgagee of such notice of cancellation and termination, that:
(a) the Leasehold Mortgagee, or any designee or nominee that the Leasehold Mortgagee may designate or name in such notice (provided such designee or nominee is experienced in the operation of properties similar to the Lessee’s Project or has retained a property manager for Lessee’s Project that has such experience and qualifications) (“Approved Nominee”), elects cure and to 48 continue to lease the Existing Lot and Parking Lot by the Approved Nominee executing a reinstatement and assignment of this Agreement effective from the date of termination Agreement for the remainder of the Term of this Agreement, at the Rent and other charges herein reserved and otherwise on the same terms, covenants, and conditions as are set forth in this Agreement, with the same relative priority in time and in right as this Agreement (to the extent possible), and having the benefit of and vesting in Leasehold Mortgagee, or the Approved Nominee, of all the rights, title, interest, powers, and privileges of the Lessee hereunder (“Reinstatement and Assignment of the Agreement”); and
(b) the Leasehold Mortgagee or the approved nominee further obligates itself (and, in fact, does) within sixty (60) days after delivery to City of such election to:
(i) cure the Event of Default on which such termination was based or, with respect to any Event of Default not capable of being cured within such sixty (60) day period or which cannot be cured without entry into possession, proceed and effect cure with due diligence following delivery of possession;
(ii) pay to City all Rent and other sums due under this Agreement up to and including the date of commencement of the term of such Reinstatement and Assignment of the Agreement less any net rental income received by City for such period; and
(iii) pay to City all expenses and reasonable attorney fees incurred by City in connection with any such default and the preparation, execution, and delivery of such Reinstatement and Assignment of the Agreement.
24.7 Assignment and Reinstatement Terms. On compliance with the provisions of Section 24.6 by a Leasehold Mortgagee, or the Approved Nominee, within such time, City shall execute and deliver such Reinstatement and Assignment of the Agreement to the Leasehold Mortgagee or the Approved Nominee, having the same relative priority in time and right as this original Agreement (to the extent possible) and having the benefit of all of the right, title, interest, powers, and privileges of Lessee under this Agreement in and to the Existing Lot and Parking Lot.
24.8 Title to Improvements. On the execution and delivery of the Reinstatement and Assignment of this Agreement, title to all Parking Lot Improvements shall automatically vest in the Leasehold Mortgagee or the Approved Nominee until the expiration or earlier termination of the term of the Agreement.
24.9 Transfer After Foreclosure. This Agreement may be transferred, without the consent of City, to any Leasehold Mortgagee or an affiliate thereof, pursuant to foreclosure or similar proceedings, or pursuant to a Transfer of this Agreement to such Leasehold Mortgagee (or affiliate) in lieu thereof, and thereafter may be transferred by 49 such Leasehold Mortgagee (or its affiliate), subject to the provisions of Section 23. Any Leasehold Mortgagee (or its affiliate) shall be liable to perform the obligations herein imposed on Lessee only for and during the period it is in possession or ownership of the leasehold estate created hereby. In no event shall any Leasehold Mortgagee (or its affiliate) be (a) liable for any prior act or omission of Lessee unless and to the extent such act or omission is continuing following the foreclosure or other transfer, or (b) subject to any offsets or defenses that City may have against Lessee.
24.10 No Modifications. Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, City and Lessee mutually agree that as long as there exists an unpaid Leasehold Mortgage on the leasehold estate of Lessee, this Agreement or any renewal thereof shall not be modified, amended, or altered and City shall not accept a surrender of the Existing Lot, Parking Lot, or a cancellation of this Agreement (provided a Leasehold Mortgagee remedies any Event of Default as provided in this Section) before the expiration or sooner termination thereof, without the prior written consent of Leasehold Mortgagee.
24.11 No Merger. As long as any debt secured by a Leasehold Mortgage on the leasehold created by this Agreement shall remain unpaid, unless a Leasehold Mortgagee shall otherwise consent in writing, the fee title to the Existing Lot and Parking Lot on the one hand, and the leasehold estate in the Existing Lot and the Parking Lot on the other hand shall not merge but shall always be kept as separate estates, notwithstanding the union of such estates either in City or in Lessee or in a third party by purchase or otherwise.
24.12 Estoppel Certificate. City agrees for the benefit of any Leasehold Mortgagee that at any time, and from time to time, on not less than thirty (30) days’ prior notice from Lessee or from a Leasehold Mortgagee, to deliver a certificate to Lessee and to the Leasehold Mortgagee stating that this Agreement is unmodified (or, if there have been modifications, setting them forth) and in full force and effect, the dates to which Rent and other charges have been paid, and that either Lessee is not in default in the performance of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or, if there are defaults, specifying the nature thereof with sufficient particularity that Lessee and the Leasehold Mortgagee will know the nature of the acts that must be performed and the amounts of the payments that must be made to cure any such defaults, it being agreed that any such certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 24.12 may be relied on by any prospective assignee of Lessee’s interest in this Agreement or by any Leasehold Mortgagee or prospective Leasehold Mortgagee.
24.13 Assignment of Revenue. City consents to a provision in any Leasehold Mortgage or otherwise for an assignment of rents and income from any subleases or occupancy agreements, or other revenue from the Existing Lot or Parking Lot (if any) to the Leasehold Mortgagee, effective on any conditions defined under such Leasehold Mortgage, and to any customary “lock box” payment arrangement that may be applicable.
24.14 Consent of City Not Required. The foreclosure of a Leasehold Mortgage, or any sale thereunder, whether by judicial proceedings or by virtue of any power contained 50 in any Leasehold Mortgage, or any conveyance of the leasehold estate created hereby from Lessee to any Leasehold Mortgagee or its affiliate through, or in lieu of, foreclosure or other appropriate proceedings in the nature thereof, shall not breach any provision of or constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement, and on such foreclosure, sale, or conveyance, City shall recognize any Leasehold Mortgagee or such affiliate or designee of any Leasehold Mortgagee, or any purchaser at such foreclosure sale, as Lessee hereunder.
24.15 No Conflict. In the event of a default under a Leasehold Mortgage, such Leasehold Mortgagee may exercise with respect to the Existing Lot and Parking Lot any right, power, or remedy under the Leasehold Mortgage that is not in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement.
24.16 Amendments. City shall consider in good faith any amendments to this Agreement that are reasonably requested by a Leasehold Mortgagee; provided, however, that City may, in its sole and absolute discretion, refuse to consent to any proposed amendments to the description of the Existing Lot, Parking Lot, Term, Rent, or any other amendments that would materially change the rights of City under this Agreement.
25. EVENT OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES
25.1 Event of Default by Lessee. Lessee shall be in default of this Agreement for failure to perform any of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Agreement, including any such failure remaining uncured for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof. If by reason of the nature of the breach, it cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, then it shall be cured within a time that would be reasonable if Lessee were to proceed with diligence to remedy the breach. Upon lapse of the aforesaid cure periods, City shall have all remedies available at law and in equity, including, without limitation, the right to terminate this Agreement with no further obligation to Lessee.

Subject:
Rocklin Municipal Code 2.48 – Police Salaries Update
Date:
January 27, 2026
Submitted By:
Tameka Usher, Director of Administrative Services
Department:
Administrative Services - Human Resources
Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin to Approve the Revised Salary Schedule for the Rocklin Police Officers' Association.
Background:
On December 15, 1980, the Rocklin City Council adopted Resolution No. 80-117 declaring the passing of “Measure C” related to Rocklin Police Department salaries and ordained Municipal Ordinance No. 440 (or Rocklin Municipal Code (RMC) Chapter 2.48), which states:
The Council shall, on January 1st annually, determine the existing average salaries for the Auburn Police Department, Lincoln Police Department, Roseville Police Department, and Placer County Sheriff's Office, operating within the county of Placer for each class of position employed by those agencies.
Effective February 1, 1981, and effective February 1st of each year thereafter, the Council shall adjust and determine that the average salary for each class of position in the Rocklin Police Department as set forth in this chapter is at least equal to the average of the salaries for the comparable positions in the Auburn Police Department, Lincoln Police Department, Roseville Police Department, and Placer County Sheriff's Office .
RMC Chapter 2.48 includes the following classifications: Sergeant, Police Officer, Dispatch Supervisor (Public Safety Dispatcher Supervisor), and Dispatch Clerk (Public Safety Dispatcher II).
Staff conducted a base salary study of the comparable positions, and presented the following summary of the study results to City Council at the December 9, 2025 City Council Meeting:
Item Number C6.

-2.64%
Public Safety Dispatcher II
$83,687.50
$80,793.56
3.58%
1 Methodology defined in City of Rocklin Municipal Code 2.48
Per the chart above, the Dispatcher Supervisor (Public Safety Dispatch Supervisor) salary is below the average of the comparable positions.
Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council consider and approve the Public Safety Dispatch Supervisor salary increase of 2.64% so that it is at least equal to the average of the salaries for the comparable positions in the Auburn Police Department, Lincoln Police Department, Roseville Police Department, and Placer County Sheriff's Office, in accordance with RMC Chapter 2.48. Staff further recommends that the City Council consider and approve the retroactive payment of the base salary increase to January 24, 2026, which is the start of the pay period that includes February 1.
The Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Rocklin and the Rocklin Police Officers' Association, Section II - Compensation, Article 11. Salaries, Subsection 11.1.2 Salary Adjustments, states "Salary increases for all classifications within the RPOA bargaining unit shall be based on Measure C (Chapter 2.48 of the Rocklin Municipal Code) or negotiated salary increases contained in this MOU, whichever is greater. In no event shall an employee receive both a Measure C salary increase and a negotiated salary increase. " Therefore, the Public Safety Dispatch Supervisor classification will not be eligible to receive the following negotiated salary adjustment:
Effective the first full pay period of July 2026, all classifications will receive a 2.0% base salary increase.
Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations, section 570.5, requires the pay schedules to be adopted at a public meeting.
Fiscal Impact:
The estimated fiscal impact resulting from the staff recommendation is $4,000 and will be absorbed within the Police Department’s Operating Budget.

February 10, 2026 – Final action for ordinance:
Adopt an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Amending the Five Star General Development Plan (Ordinance No. 579) to Allow School Uses Within Area 15a, Subject to the Review and Approval of a Conditional Use Permit (Destiny Christian School / PDG2025-0002).
Proposal/Application Request:
The project proposes to convert an approximately 53,000-square-foot tenant space within an existing retail commercial building into a school . To accommodate this use, the applicant is seeking a General Development Plan Amendment (PDG2025-0002) to allow a “school” as a conditionally permitted use in the current zoning district, to be processed concurrently with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow a school use for the project (U2025-0003).
According to the applicant, the school would include:
15 classrooms, with up to 20 students each.
Maximum enrollment of approximately 250 students, serving grades 4 th through 8th.
A “teaching kitchen” to support instruction in culinary skills. This portion of the facility would feature:
o Individual student workstations
o Cooking appliances (ranges, ovens)
o Sinks, storage, and prep space
o Demonstration areas and seating for group learning
The proposed e xterior modifications (DR2025 -0007) include the addition of an outdoor play area featuring shade structures and basketball courts at the rear/east side of the existing building. A new concrete masonry unit (CMU) sound wall is also proposed along the portion of the play area adjacent to Highway 65 (to the south). Minor modifications to the doors and windows are also proposed, as discussed in the Design Review section of this report.
The project also requires a Level of Service (LOS) exception, pursuant to the General Plan (GPA2025-0003).
80 Project Applicant and Ownership:
The project applicant is Destiny Christian Church c/o Greg Fairrington. The property owner is Destiny Christian Church of the Assemblies of God, A California Non -Profit Corporation.
Project Location:
The project site is located within an existing commercial center, located north of State Route 65 (SR-65), west of Destiny Drive, and east of Five Star Boulevard. The proposed use is specifically for a portion of the existing building at 6850 #1 Five Star Boulevard .
The Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) is 016 -351-016. Figure 1 illustrates the project location and aerial image of surrounding uses.
Figure 1. Project Location
Summary of Planning Commission Hearing and Action:
On December 2, 2025, the Planning Commission (Commission) heard and reviewed the proposed project. Staff presented the project and explained that the proposal requires discretionary policy determinations regarding whether the introduction of a new school use would be appropriate within an established retail district/development at this location.
As these determinations fall within the authority of the Commission and City Council and there were some conflicting policies , staff did not recommend approval or denial and instead provided analysis to support the Commission’s, and ultimately the City Council’s, independent evaluations of the project.
81 Staff also noted a n omission in General Plan Amendment (GPA) Exhibit A, which had erroneously omitted two of the three affected intersections – Five Star Boulevard / South Whitney Boulevard and Five Star Boulevard / Destiny Drive – from the list of intersections requiring Level of Service exceptions. Staff explained that the Traffic Study had been ambiguous with regard to whether the recommended signal adjustments within the City of Rocklin could bring those intersections into compliance , and stated that staff would consult with the traffic consultant prior to the City Council meeting to confirm whether these two intersections should be included. Accordingly, staff requested that the Commission recommend inclusion of the modified Exhibit A language to include the two additional intersections in the proposed GPA.
Since that meeting, staff has confirmed with the traffic consultant that the City of Roseville’s unwillingness to modify signal timing at the Stanford Ranch Road / Five Star Boulevard intersection also affects operations at the other two intersections. Accordingly, all three intersections should be included as part of the proposed GPA , consistent with the Commission’s recommendation.
Following staff’s presentation, Tanner Di Bella addressed the Commission , representing the project. Mr. Di Bella stated that Destiny Church has been working with staff for nearly two years to allow for the operation of the school within an establishe d retail space currently owned by the church. He noted that the proposal would allow for the expansion of an educational operation that already exists in the area.
The Commission opened the public hearing for the project ; no public comment was received.
During deliberations, the Commission identified two potential issues associated with the project, specifically related to economic impacts to the City and on - and off-site traffic impacts. With respect to economic considerations, the Commission expressed concern that converting retail space to a school use w ould establish a precedent for similar conversions elsewhere in the area. The Commission emphasized that retaining availability of retail space capable of generating sales tax revenue remains an important City priority.
The Commission asked the applicant’s representative whether Destiny Church would be willing to consider entering into a Development Agreement or other mechanism to offset potential sales tax revenue losses associated with the conversion. The representative stated that prior discussions had occurred with staff and that, while the church is amenable to exploring this option, terms had not been finalized prior to the Plan ning Commission hearing. The representative had requested that staff defer any further discussions about financial compensation until the project had been reviewed by the City Council.
The Commission also inquired about traffic and circulation , and asked whether the applicant could comply with the recommendations of the Traffic Study. The representative responded that Destiny Church operates multiple schools and is willing and able to 82 comply with all traffic-related recommendations to minimize on- and off-site impacts. They further stated that school staff would be present in the parking lot on a daily basis to coordinate traffic and ensure safe and efficient drop-off and pick-up activities.
The Commission concluded that traffic impacts would not be a sig nificant concern, provided the applicant continues to work with staff to comply with the Traffic Study recommendations as conditioned. However, concerns regarding the potential precedent and impacts of allowing a school use within a retail commercial zoning district would still remain a key consideration for the City Council.
Ultimately, the Planning Commission voted unanimously ( 4-0 with one member absent ) to recommend approval of the project, incorporating the modifications requested by staff into the GPA exhibit. The Commission also recommended that the proposed Conditional Use Permit (CUP) resolution be modified to include language requiring that the project applicant and staff work together to explore a solution related to the project’s financ ial impacts. This issue is discussed further in the CUP section of this report.
Site Background and Characteristics:
The project site currently houses an existing retail commercial building/center that was constructed in 1993, with an exterior remodel/addition to construct what is now the Harbor Freight Tools storefront in 2004. Destiny Community Center, Fitness, and Café are located in the approximately 62,000 square foot portion of the building between the proposed school and Harbor Freight Tools.
Tables 1 illustrates the land uses and existing uses in more detail.
Table 1. Site and Project Information
General Plan Designation: Retail Commercial (RC)
Design Review District: Citywide Design Review
General Development Plan Area: Five Star General Development Plan Zoning: Planned Development-Commercial (PD-C)
Existing Use of Site: Developed Commercial/Retail Center Total Parcel Area: 9.97± acres
The Five Star G eneral Development Plan ( PDG) was originally adopted by the City Council on February 9, 1988 (Ordinance No. 579). The PDG encompasses approximately 215 acres, divided into 19 distinct areas that include a mix of residential and nonresidential zoning districts. The PDG has been amended several times since its adoption, most recently in 2017. A zoning map of the Five Star PDG area boundaries is included as Figure 2, with the subject Area 15a highlighted in red.
Area 15a, also known as the Five Star Plaza shopping center, comprises two parcels, both zoned PD-C under the Five Star Gen eral Development Plan. The northern parcel, 83 owned by Rocklin of California LLC, is currently occupied by Scandinavian Designs. The southern parcel, owned by Destiny Christian Church, houses Harbor Freight Tools, the Destiny Community Center , Fitness, and C afé, and a large vacant retail/commercial space that formerly contained American Furniture Galler ies. This vacant approximately 53,000 square foot commercial retail space is the proposed location for the Destiny Christian School.
In December 2014, Area 15a was amended through Ordinance No. 1021 to permit additional uses beyond the typical retail uses previously allowed. At that time, the zoning in this sub-area had been specifically structured to accommodate “big box” stores while significantly limiting other types of retail and office uses, with the goal of establishing the center as a destination for large -format retail. However, the center never reached full occupancy and remained partially vacant for several years.
To help address this, in 2017 the City Council approved a modification allowing a broader range of uses, including professional offices, banks and financial institutions, personal service establishments, places of assembly, and other non -retail uses, in order to help facilitate additional occupancy of the shopping center.
In 2023, a building permit application request was made to permit tenant improvements to modify the existing building to accommodate a proposed school use. At that time, planning staff informed the a pplicant that the proposed school use was not consistent with permitted used allowed within the Planned Development Commercial (PD-C) zoning of Area 15a of the Five Star General Development Plan ( PDG) and that the proposed improvements could not be allowed.

General Plan Consistency
The site is designated as Retail Commercial (RC) under the General Plan. According to the City of Rocklin General Plan Land Use Element, the RC designation is intended to provide appropriately located areas for retail stores, professional offices, supportive commercial uses, and amusement uses, concentrated in a manner that serves the public conveniently and promotes mutually beneficial relationships among the various uses.
There are several General Plan policies specific to Noise, Circulation, and Public Facilities that are discussed in further detail in the related sections of this report.
Zoning Consistency
The property’s zoning of Planned Development Commercial (PD-C) corresponds with the assigned General Plan land use designation of Retail Commercial (RC).
General Development Plan Amendment:
The project proposes a modification to Area 15A of the Five Star General Development Plan to allow a “school” as a conditionally permitted use within the current zoning district.
This modification would apply only to two parcels: APN 016-351-016, which contains the existing multi-tenant building where the project is proposed, and APN 016-351-015, which contains the Scandinavian Furniture building located directly to the north.
86 The uses currently permitted within Area 15a of the Five Star PDG are as follows:
A. Permitted Land Uses (all uses to be housed entirely within an enclosed building with no outside storage or display permitted):
1. Retail Sales, new or used (including but not limited to dry goods, hardware, groceries, books, periodicals, plants, flowers, nursery products, electronics, furniture, appliances, building materials and supplies, automobiles, boats, motorcycles, musical instruments, drugs, etc.) except as may be prohibited or restricted by provisions of the RMC;
2. Professional offices;
3. Banks and financial institutions;
4. Restaurant / Restaurant & Bar;
5. Personal Service Establishments, such as a barber shop, beauty shop; tutoring services, pet grooming;
6. Photographic studio, Art gallery:
7. Dry cleaners / laundry;
8. Places of Assembly;
9. Mortuary;
10. Billiard Room;
11. Exercise or athletic club;
12. Business or professional office.
B. Conditionally permitted land uses
1. Outdoor Sales, display, and / or storage;
2. Call centers.
A “school” use is not listed as either a permitted nor a conditionally permitted use within Area 15A, and therefore remains prohibited. However, it should be noted that a “school” use is permitted in several other areas within the Five Star PDG, including the Planned Development Business Professional (PD -BP) zoned areas immediately to the east and south of the project site (Areas 16 and 18). Destiny Christian Church currently operates an existing school (preschool and elementary school / TK through 8 th grade) and church directly to the southeast in Area 18 at 6900 Destiny Drive.
The proposed modification to allow the conversion of a commercial retail space into a school raises several considerations related to land use, operations, and the long -term functioning of the shopping center. Shopping centers are typically designed to support retail and commercial uses that rely on visibility, customer access, and synergy among tenants. Introducing a school into this environment represents a different type of use than originally anticipated, making it important to consider how the proposal aligns with the existing planning framework and with the City’s commercially zoned land.
Operational aspects of a school, such as pick-up and drop-off activity, outdoor play areas, and the accommodation of large numbers of children, have the potential to interfere with 87 the existing circulation patterns, parking availability, and delivery logistics of the shopping center. These factors can influence how the site functions for both students and retail patrons. An additional consideration is the proposed outdoor play area’s proximity to SR- 65, which will be affected by both noise levels and exposure to vehicle emissions.
The potential introduction of a school use may also affect the dynamics of existing and future businesses within the center. Changes in activity patterns could influence foot traffic and the types of u ses that are most compatible in the surrounding area. From an economic perspective, replacing a leasable commercial space with a non-commercial use alters revenue generation at the site , negatively impacting sales tax generation for the City. At staff’s re quest, the applicant submitted a Fiscal Impact Study prepared by Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS), dated April 3, 2025. This report, included as Attachment 1, analyzes the potential financial implications to the City should the retail space be converted to a school. Pursuant to this report, it is estimated that the proposed conversion could result in an approximate annual reduction of $140,000 in City revenue.
It should be noted that this estimated revenue reduction represents a “best case” scenario for this location ’s earning potential . As discussed previously, while retail sales are the intended use for the site and would generate sales tax revenue, there are several other permitted uses that could occupy the space under the existing zoning. Examples include professional offices, banks and financial institutions, personal service establishments, and exercise or athletic clubs. These uses are allowed by right and would generate little to no sales tax revenue.
The City of Rocklin General Plan ’s Goal for Commercial Use is to retain and renew existing commercial land uses and designate sufficient new commercial areas to meet future City needs. In addition, the General Plan has two applicable policies related to Public Facilities and the reduction/loss of annual revenue:
PF-4 Disapprove d evelopment proposals that would negatively impact City - provided public services, unless the negative impact is mitigated.
PF-11 Ensure that new development will not create a significant negative impact on the existing level of police and fire protection services.
The Commission and staff have expressed concerns regarding the placement of a school within a retail commercial space, although this proposal presents a somewhat unique circumstance. The site would be incorporated into the existing Destiny Church campus, which has been expanding in this area over the past several years. Within this context, the proposal may be considered a limited exception and would not necessarily establish a precedent for allowing schools within larger shopping centers or similarly zoned, higher- traffic areas of Rocklin.
There are some potential benefits for the school expansion at this location, to both the community and the shopping center. A school use could help activate the site during 88 daytime hours, which may increase overall visitation and generate additional activity that supports nearby businesses.
As noted above, the Commission has emphasized that retaining retail space capable of generating sales tax revenue for the City remains a primary objective. The Commission and staff therefore recommend that the City Council carefully consider this factor prior to taking action on the project.
Conditional Use Permit:
The proposed project would provide additional space for the privately run Destiny Christian School, which operates nearby at 6900 Destiny Drive. Destiny Christian Elementary School currently provides transitional kindergarten (TK) through 6th grade classes for 136 students, as of the most recent school year. With the proposed expansion, the school would move upper elementary school grades (4th through 6th grades) and add 7th and 8th grade at the expansion site. The lower elementary school grades (TK through 3rd grade) would remain at the existing school site. According to Destiny Christian School representatives, existing classroom space that is vacated by moving upper elementary grades would likely initially function as support space and could become additional lower elementary school grade classrooms depending on future enrollment.
The proposed expansion site would have capacity for up to 250 students, although it would serve fewer students upon opening (about 40 fewer students according to Destiny Christian School representatives). Although the existing school site and proposed expansion would function as a single school, each site would have its own separate drop- off/pick-up areas and amenities on site.
Destiny Christian School staff have indicated tha t students will be dropped off/picked up at their school site (lower grades at the existing site, upper grades at the expansion site), and not permitted to walk between sites at drop-off/pick-up times. Families with students at both sites will be instructe d to drop -off (or pick -up) at one site and then drive to the other site. The proposed expansion would have its own outdoor playground area on the south side of the building (i.e., opposite side of the main parking lot and drop -off/pick-up area) separate from the existing school site.
The existing school currently starts class at 8:15 AM five days a week and ends class at 3:15 PM Monday through Thursday with early release at 1:15 PM on Fridays. The proposed expansion site is expected to start class at 8:00 AM with a 3:00 PM release time Monday through Thursday and 1:00 PM early release on Fridays. This will allow families with students at both sites to drop-off/pick-up at the expansion site first, and then drop-off/pick-up younger students at the existing site second. It would also allow families with only upper grade level students to travel to the school expansion site and depart prior to mixing with peak traffic traveling to only the lower grade site.
As stated above, the project is proposing to modify A rea 15a to allow for “Schools” to operate as a conditionally permitted use. In order to move this project forward, a CUP application is proposed to run concurrently with the PDG Amendment. If the PDG 89 Amendment is approved, the applicant has asked that the City Council also approve the CUP.
Assuming the PDG is modified to allow the school to be located within the PD -C zoning district, there are other factors which have been analyzed, including noise and traffic.
Circulation and parking are critical, as school pick -up and drop -off activity can interfere with retail traffic patterns and create safety concerns if not properly managed. Adequate parking, safe pedestrian access, and clear traffic flow must be demonstrated.
Operations
The new proposed school would have approximately 250 students at maximum enrollment, serving grades 4th through 8th. Project operational hours would be from 7:00 a.m. through 4:00 p.m. The project includes an outdoor activity area in the southeastern area of the exterior of the building, where there is currently paved asphalt
Noise
The proposed playground area is located in close proximity to the SR -65 off-ramp. To evaluate potential impacts, a Noise Study was prepared by ECORP C onsulting, Inc., which analyzed traffic-related noise levels affecting the playground. The study determined that existing and projected noise levels from SR-65 would exceed the City’s outdoor noise compatibility standards without mitigation.
However, the project has proposed construction of a concrete masonry sound wall along the southern and eastern edges of the playground to reduce noise exposure and ensure compliance with City standards (Figure 4). This barrier would block the line of sight to SR-65, reducing noise from southbound traffic. The wall is designed to be approximately
13.5 feet tall.
According to the study, the wall would reduce community noise attributed to traffic on SR 65 to 69.9, which is below the exterior community noise standard of 70 dBA CNEL at playgrounds.
90 Figure 4. Playground Area with Wall
Parking
The current Five Star PDG includes an unusually specific parking requirement of 3.965 off-street parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of floor area. The existing 132,023 square foot building requires a minimum of 524 spaces, and the parcel currently provides 501 spaces, a deficiency of 23 spaces.
The Scandinavian Designs building at 6849 Five Star Boulevard contains approximately 40,000 square feet, which requires 159 spaces under the same standard, and that parcel currently has 150 spaces, a deficiency of 9 spaces.
The proposed school includes the removal of 28 parking spaces to construct the outdoor playground area, which would reduce the total number of spaces on the parcel to 473, resulting in a deficiency of 51 spaces based on the existing PDG parking rate.
However, Section 17.66.150 of the Rocklin Municipal Code establishes significantly lower parking requirements for schools than for general retail uses. Elementary schools are required to provide loading space for at least four school buses, and junior high sch ools are required to provide one parking space for every three seats in the main auditorium or multi-purpose room, along with off-street loading space for buses.
These standards have not been updated since 1977, and the junior high school requirements greatly exceed modern parking standards . For comparison, the City of Roseville requires two parking spaces per classroom plus 60 lineal feet of loading area for every 100 students for public and private elementary, middle, and junior high schools.
91 The propos ed school will serve 4th through 8th grade students. For parking analysis purposes, staff has applied the junior high school standard as the most conservative assumption under the current RMC. While the project does not have a traditional auditorium with fixed seats, the Conditional Use Permit limits enrollment to 250 students.
At one parking space per three seats, the parking requirement would be 83 spaces. By contrast, a retail tenant occupying the approximately 53,000 square foot space at the standard retail rate of four spaces per 1,000 square feet would require about 133 spaces.
As a result, the school use would require 50 fewer parking spaces than a retail use, and the removal of 28 spaces to accommodate the playground is not expected to create a significant parking impact.
Because Area 15a of the Five Star PDG was written for uses allowed in the existing PD- C zoning district, it did not account for the lower parking demand of a school. The Commission and staff are therefore recommending that the pa rking section of Area 15a be modified to default to the parking standards in the RMC, and to allow parking reductions through a Conditional Use Permit when warranted by a proposed use.
Staff has also included a condition of approval requiring the parking lot to be restored to its original configuration once the school use ceases, so that all removed parking spaces are reinstated for future retail operations.
Based on these considerations, the Commission and staff find that the proposed parking demand is c onsistent with the recommended modifications and compatible with the surrounding shopping center.
Traffic and Circulation
The school is proposed within a currently vacant commercial/retail tenant space that shares a surface parking lot and access with the following adjacent service and retail uses:
Destiny Community Center, Fitness, and Café (6850 Five Star Boulevard, Suite 2) Harbor Freight Tools hardware store (6850 Five Star Boulevard, Suite 1) Scandinavian Designs furniture store (6849 Five Star Boulevard)
The proposed school site, along with the Destiny Community Center , Fitness, Cafe and Harbor Freight Tools, is located on one parcel owned by Destiny Christian Church, which also operates the adjacent Destiny Christian Church and School at 6900 Destiny Drive and will operate this proposed school site . Scandinavian Designs occupies a separate 40,000± square foot building on a parcel that is under separate ownership ; however, a reciprocal easement for access and parking exists between the two properties, allowing shared use of drive aisles and parking areas. The 6850 Five Star Boulevard parcel owned by the applicant also includes the private extension of Five Star Boulevard up to the drive aisle north of Scandinavian Designs. North of this drive aisle, Five Star Boulevard transitions to a public street.
92 Fehr & Peers prepared a Traffic Study for the project, which was finalized on October 29, 2025. As described above, the proposed expansion site would have capacity for up to 250 students, th ough it is expected to serve approximately 40 fewer students upon opening. The Traffic Study analyzed the project’s maximum potential traffic impacts, recognizing that full enrollment may not occur for several years. Accordingly, the study includes recomme ndations to address potential future traffic increases as the school approaches capacity.
The consultant analyzed existing conditions at three major intersections expected to be affected by the project. Under existing weekday morning and afternoon peak -hour conditions, all study intersections operate at Level of Service (LOS) C or better, with the exception of the intersection at Stanford Ranch Road / Five Star Boulevard, which currently operates at LOS D during the afternoon peak hour. This intersection l ies within the City of Roseville.
The proposed school would have a dedicated drop -off and pick -up area. Families with students attending both the existing campus and the proposed site will be instructed to complete drop-off or pick-up at one campus before traveling to the other. Based on the proposed schedules, most families are expected to visit the upper grade site first (6850 Five Star Boulevard), followed by the lower grade site (6900 Destiny Drive).
According to information provided by Destiny Christian School, approximately half of the families with upper grade students also have students in the lower grades. Therefore, half of the outbound trips from the upper grade site are assumed to continue to the lower grade site before exiting the general area via Destiny Drive. The proposed drop -off circulation is shown in Figure 5.
Figure 6 illustrates the proposed PM pick-up circulation when the expansion site is at full capacity. Because vehicle queues are longer during pick-up, students would be collected in the parking aisle adjacent to the sidewalk between Scandinavian Designs and Destiny Community Center. Students would use the existing raised crosswalk connecting this sidewalk to the walkway in front of the proposed school expansion and Destiny Community Center.
To promote student safety, the main drive aisle along the front of the building would be closed to through traffic during PM pick-up. All exiting vehicles would be directed toward Five Star Boulevard to minimize conflicts with patrons of nearby businesses. Families with students at both campuses would be directed to travel north on Five Star Boulevard and then turn right onto Destiny Drive, as shown in blue on Figure 6.
93 Figure 5. Proposed School AM Drop-Off Circulation
Figure 6. Proposed School PM Pick-Up Circulation
94 According to the Traffic Study, traffic operations (i.e., delay and Level of Service [LOS]) are projected to degrade with the project, particularly during the afternoon peak hour. This degradation is primarily attributed to increased delay and queuing on westbound Five Star Boulevard, which is already nearing capacity under existing conditions given the current signal timing. As shown in the study, the westbound approach operates near LOS F during the afternoon peak hour even without the project. When the proposed expansion reaches full capacity (i.e., 250 students), this approach is expected to exceed capacity, resulting in queue spillback through upstream intersections.
In addition, the study found that the afternoon peak hour traffic would also degrade to LOS F at t he Five Star Boulevard / South Whitney Boulevard intersection and the Five Star Boulevard / Destiny Drive intersection. Both of these intersections are located within the City of Rocklin.
To mitigate these impacts, the Traffic Study recommends retiming th e traffic signal s at the Stanford Ranch Road / Five Star Boulevard (Roseville) intersection to allocate additional green time. These adjustments would help alleviate over -capacity conditions and reduce queuing during the afternoon peak hour. Based on the r esults of the recommendations, it is anticipated that the recommended modifications would improve the Five Star Boulevard / South Whitney Boulevard intersection to LOS B and the Five Star Boulevard / Destiny Drive intersection to LOS A in the PM peak hour.
However, because the City of Roseville operates and maintains the signal at Stanford Ranch Road / Five Star Boulevard , any timing modifications to that intersection would need to be implemented by the City of Roseville. Based on the analysis, a more balanced signal plan could be achieved by slightly increasing green time for the westbound approach with minimal effects on traffic flow along Stanford Ranch Road. Northbound and southbound movements currently have excess capacity under existing timing conditions. Nonetheless, any adjustments must continue to prioritize north –south travel and maintain coordinated signal operations along the Stanford Ranch Road corridor (i.e., Fairway Drive, Five Star Boulevard, and the SR 65 ramp intersections). In addition , adjustments should be calibrated to minimize impacts on eastbound travel along Five Star Boulevard. Based on these recommended modifications, this Roseville intersection is anticipated to be unchanged, and remain at LOS D in the PM peak hour.
Staff and the traffic consultant contacted the City of Roseville to discuss the report’s recommendation to retime the traffic signal at the Stanford Ranch Road / Five Star Boulevard intersection. While Roseville did not deny the request, the jurisdiction did not agree to it either. Instead, Roseville staff stated that they would continue to analyze operations within their jurisdiction and would possibly be open to signal retiming in the future, if their operations warranted the change. This is addressed further in th e Circulation Element LOS Exceptions discussion below.
95 Traffic Management Plan
As a condition of approval for the CUP, the school will be required to develop and implement a Traffic Management Plan (TMP) for student drop-offs and pick-ups prior to commencing operations. The TMP must identify a comprehensive strategy to ensure that vehicle queues remain contained on private property. The plan will be required to be updated annually, or sooner if directed by City staff in response to persist ent circulation issues or public complaints. Both the traffic consultant and City staff recommend that the following items be incorporated into the TMP:
1. Encourage later arrival for pick up. Families should be encouraged to arrive after the end of the school day. The traffic study shows that the longest queues occur just before dismissal when families arrive early and wait. Once students are released, queues clear quickly because departures e xceed arrivals. To help manage this, the school could adopt a policy that prohibits vehicles from waiting in the pick-up zone more than five minutes before dismissal. The school should also highlight the shorter wait times experienced by families who arrive after dismissal.
2. Contain queues on private property. The TMP must demonstrate that all pick up queues remain on private property and do not extend into the public right of way along Five Star Boulevard north of Scandinavian Designs. The plan should also confirm that circulation for nearby businesses and emergency access routes remains unobstructed.
3. Evaluate alternate circulation patterns. The TMP may consider routing the queue through the staff parking area instead of directly back toward Five Star Boulevard. A snaking pattern through the parking lot could reduce the length of the queue that approaches the street.
4. Provide direction for families picking up at multiple sites. Families who will pick up students at the lower grade campus after picking up at the expansion site should be directed to exit onto Five Star Boulevard, travel north to Destiny Drive, turn right onto Destiny Drive, and proceed to the existing Destiny Christian Elementary School.
5. Close the drive aisle during afternoon pick up. The drive aisle across the raised crosswalk between Destiny Community Center and the expansion site should be closed to through traffic during the afternoon pick up period. Cones, temporary signage, and staff direction should clearly communicate this closure. Sig nage or staff should also instruct customers of Destiny Community Center and Harbor Freight Tools to exit via Destiny Drive. If a vehicle approaches the closed drive aisle, signage or staff should direct the driver down the parking aisle toward Scandinavian Designs to access Five Star Boulevard.
It should be noted that adopting and enforcing a “no early arrival” policy (Item 1) is the primary strategy to prevent unacceptable vehicle queues. Early arrivals are the main cause of extended congestion, as these vehicles cannot depart until dismissal. The 96 recommendation to reroute the queue through the parking lot (Item 3) should only be implemented if vehicle queues continue to regularly extend north of Scandinavian Designs after the “no early arrival” policy has been enforced.
Any proposed routing should be clearly documented in the TMP (see Item 2) and reviewed by City public safety representatives to confirm adequate emergency access would be maintained. Temporary signage, cones, and on -site staff should help maintain a “keep clear” zone where the queue crosses the main drive aisle near the school’s main entrance. This would preserve circulation for vehicles not participating in student pick-up.
Figure 7, which is taken from the Traffic Study, illustrates one potential routing scenario using existing drive aisles and parking areas. As shown, the queue may extend into the drive aisle southwest of Scandinavian Designs, which only accommodates two lanes of traffic. If this occurs, school staff should direct traffic as needed, alternating one -way movement to maintain safe circulation.

97 General Plan Amendment – Circulation Element Level of Service Exceptions:
Because the City of Roseville is not willing to commit to modifying the signalized intersection as recommended, the resulting Level of Service (LOS) would degrade to a level that is inconsistent with the City of Rocklin’s General Plan Circulation Element.
Although Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) is now the primary metric used to evaluate transportation impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City of Rocklin General Plan, like those of many other jurisdictions in California, continues to include policies and action steps addressing intersection LOS standards.
LOS is a measure of intersection or roadway performance, expressed on a scale from “A” to “F,” with “A” representing free -flowing conditions and “F” represen ting severe congestion and delay. Unlike academic grading, LOS “C” generally represents a satisfactory operational level with minimal delay. It is important to note that LOS is typically evaluated during the worst periods of the day (the P.M. peak hour, ge nerally between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m.); during most other hours, intersections operate at significantly better conditions than those reported for the peak period.
The City of Rocklin General Plan Circulation Element establishes Policy C -10, which identifies LOS “C” as the Citywide standard for signalized intersections during the P.M. peak hour. Implementation details for this policy are provided under General Plan Action Step CA-2. This Step states that a diminished LOS lower than “C” shall be acceptable upon findings of the approving body based on the finding that the solution requires improvements involving facilities controlled by another entity and agreement on the design cannot be reached.
As an agreement with the City of Roseville cannot be achieved with regard to the Stanford Ranch Road / Five Star Boulevard intersection, that diminished LOS would also affect operations at the Five Star Boulevard / South Whitney Boulevard and the Five Star Boulevard / Destiny Drive intersections . Accordingly, all three intersections should be included as part of the LOS exception , consistent with the Planning Commission’s recommendation.
The Planning Commission and staff recommend that the City Council find that the proposed General Plan LOS exception for these three intersections is acceptable , consistent with Circulation Element Action Step CA-2.b.:
CA-2 A diminished Level of Service (LOS) recognized by Policy C -10.B shall be acceptable upon findings of the approving body based upon the following considerations:
b. Street improvements will be considered infeasible if:
1) A specific improvement within Rocklin or in another jurisdiction outside of Rocklin’s control is considered unacceptable to the City because it would create unusual economic, legal, social, 98 technological, physical or other similar burdens and considerations.
2) The solution requires improvements in Rocklin involving facilities that are under the control of another entity such as Caltrans, and the City and that agency cannot come to agreement regarding the design and extent of the improvements that are needed.
3) Other specific circumstances as determined by the approving body.
Senate Bill 18 Consultation
Because this LOS Exception process requires an amendment to the Circulation Element, Senate Bill 18 (SB 18) requires the City to offer a 90-day consultation period to California Native American tribes, pursuant to Government Code sections 65352 and 65352.3 . In accordance with that requirement, the City sent out an SB 18 notice to all applicable tribes on October 1, 2025.
Staff received one response from the Wilton Rancheria tribe indicating that it has no comments and does not wish to enter into consultation, and one response from the United Auburn Indian Community stating that while it does not require formal consultation as part of this process, it requests notification prior to any ground -disturbing work on the playground so that it may inspect the subsurface soils. Staff has incorporated this request as a condition of approval for the project.
Financial Impacts
As discussed above, a Fiscal Impact Study was prepared for the project, which stated that allowing for the conversion of the subject retail commercial tenant space into a school facility could result in an estimated annual reduction of approximately $140,000 in City revenue. Staff attempted to work with the applicant to identify potential measures to offset this loss prior to the Planning Commission hearing; however, no agreement was reached, and the applicant ultimately requested that further discussion be deferred until the project was formally presented to the City Council.
The Planning Commission asked the project repres entative about this issue during deliberations at the December 2, 2025 public hearing . Mr. Di Bella, representing the project, indicated that the church would be willing to discuss the possibility of a Development Agreement, but that their team desired dir ection from the decisionmakers before committing to any specific financial mitigation. Mr. Di Bella stated that, if directed by the City Council, they would be open to considering a Development Agreement to contribute funds to offset the identified fiscal impact.
During the hearing, the Commission expressed appreciation for the applicant’s willingness to explore this option if directed by the City Council. Ultimately, the Commission voted to recommend approval of the project, with the recommendation that the City Council and the applicant discuss and determine potential mitigation strategies related to the loss of tax-generating retail potential on the site. 99 If the City Council determines that further measures are necessary to offset the loss of potential City revenue, the introduction and approval of a Development Agreement would be required. In th is case, the final proposed Development Agreement document would need to return to the City Council for separate review and approval.
Staff recommends that, if this is the City Council’s direction, no action be taken on the project at this meeting and that the item be continued off calendar to allow staff and the applicant to prepare a Development Agreement based on specific direction from the City Council regarding its terms , and return with a full and complete entitlement package before the City Council’s final decision. If this option is selected, staff further recommends that the City Council provide guidance on the desired terms of t he Development Agreement, which staff would include when drafting the document.
Design Review:
Pursuant to the Rocklin Municipal Code (RMC), Design Reviews are discretionary entitlements that provide an opportunity for the City and outside agencies to ana lyze proposed development, determine if the proposal is consistent with applicable land use designations, zoning, other applicable codes, as well as architectural and site design standards. Staff analyzes the site design; access, circulation, and parking; landscaping; walls and fences; architecture; and signage for compliance with the Citywide Design Review Criteria and other City codes and standards such as the provision of adequate on-site parking. Design Review is by and large the analysis of the aesthet ics of a development and how it fits within the context of the surrounding area. Additionally, for those projects within Architectural Review Districts, the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) reviews and recommends to the Planning Commission , or in this case the City Council, approval of a project that meets the minimum requirements for the specific District.
Historically, staff and the decisionmakers have been charged with reviewing development proposals as noted above, for consistency with land use, zo ning, and design review guidelines, and for compatibility with surrounding development. When establishing land use and zoning designations on a broad scale, such as during the development or update of a City-wide General Plan, or on a slightly lesser scale during the development or update of a General Development Plan, overall factors such as land use balance, compatibility and fiscal considerations are analyzed and considered. Generally speaking, projects that involve only Design Review entitlements are an alyzed specific to the items discussed in the above paragraph and do not involve an in-depth review of land use balance or fiscal considerations such as the desirability of a particular use in support of the overall long - term economic goals of the City.
Per Section 17.72.070(C) of the RMC, any decision by the design review board or the council on a design review application shall be based on consideration of the following:
1. Relationship between the site design and the surrounding development, natural features and constraints and traffic flow;
100
2. Height, bulk and area;
3. Orientation of buildings and structures (with emphasis on energy consumption for heating, cooling, lighting);
4. Color scheme and materials;
5. Style, type and orientation of lighting;
6. Dimensions and placement of signs and graphics;
7. Landscaping (with emphasis on aesthetics, use of water and maintenance needs);
8. Parking design, including ingress and egress patterns;
9. Other design review criteria, which may be adopted from time to time by resolution of the council.
As previously discussed, the project involves modifications to an existing building, with exterior changes limited to the rear (southeast) elevation. Proposed improvements include adding two windows and a pair of aluminum and glass doors in the area designated as the resource center, and a 12-foot by 8-foot sectional metal and glass door near the teaching kitchen. The existing loading dock would be converted into a playground area with a screen/noise wall. No changes are proposed to the front elevation, and existing architectural features, colors, and materials will remain. See Figure 8.
Figure 7. Exterior Modifications (Rear)
The Commission and staff find the proposed modifications to be compatible with surrounding development and consistent with applicable General Plan policies, Citywide Design Review Guidelines, the Five Star General Development Plan, and all relevant zoning standards. The height, bulk, materials, and color scheme of the improvements complement the existing building and surrounding context.
Environmental Determination:
The project has been determined to be categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301, Existin g Facilities. As noted previously, the proposed school would occupy an existing building within a fully developed shopping center.
101
Although the project requires an LOS Exception for anticipated impacts to the intersections at Stanford Ranch Road / Five Star Boulevard, Five Star Boulevard / South Whitney Boulevard and Five Star Boulevard / Destiny Drive, LOS is no longer treated as a CEQA issue. This condition, on its own, does not trigger any additional CEQA review for this proposal.
Recommendation:
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the project, with the additional recommendation that the City Council consider the Commission’s and staff’s concerns regarding financial impacts and potential mitigation, as discussed above. 102
Memorandum
To: David Mohlenbrok, Community Development Director, City of Rocklin From: Jamie Gomes
Subject: Rocklin Educational Rezone Fiscal Impact Analysis; EPS #242001 Date: April 3, 2025
Introduction
The City of Rocklin (City) retained Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) to prepare the Fiscal Impact Analysis (Analysis) for the proposed Rocklin Educational Rezone Project (Project)—an approximately 62,500 building square foot rezone proposal, located in the City.
This Analysis examines the Project’s estimated fiscal impact on the City’s annual General Fund budget, based on the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025 Adopted Budget. Specifically, the Analysis estimates whether projected revenues from the Project will cover the costs of delivering City services (e.g., police protection, fire protection, and parks and recreation) to the Project’s new service population (students and employees). The Analysis is based on the assumption that these services will be provided by the City.
At the City’s request, EPS has analyzed the estimated fiscal impacts to the City for the following two land use scenarios:
Scenario 1 “Existing Use”—Existing Zoning (62,500 building square feet of commercial retail use)
Scenario 2 “Proposed Use”—Proposed Rezone Project (15 educational classrooms within approximately 62,500 building square feet of former commercial retail space) This memorandum provides an overview of the Project and two scenarios.
The memorandum then summarizes the annual fiscal impacts of each scenario, assuming buildout of the Project area. Finally, the memorandum summarizes the methodology used to calculate the fiscal impacts and presents detailed calculations and results in the Appendices.
103
Memorandum
Project and Scenario Overview
The Project site involves a single nonresidential building with approximately 62,500 building square feet, located at the southwestern corner of the center at the end of Five Star Boulevard. The Project Applicant (Destiny Christian Church) owns the property.
Previously, the Applicant had leased the building to a commercial retail tenant who occupied the building until 2023. The Applicant is now seeking City approval to convert the building into 15 new classrooms and ancillary supporting space to expand capacity for their school, which operates in other building(s) within the center. As summarized above, this Analysis studies two building use scenarios, described in further detail below and in Table A-2:
Scenario 1—Existing Use. The entire parcel would remain zoned CC and could be released to a commercial retail tenant.1
Scenario 2—Proposed Use. The proposed Project includes a rezone to permit educational uses accompanied by tenant improvements to establish 15 classrooms and support space needed to accommodate teachers, students, and associated support staff.2
Overview of Results
The Analysis comparing the fiscal impacts to the City of existing versus proposed zoning yielded the results shown in Table 1 below.
Table 1: Fiscal Impact Analysis Summary
1 The Analysis is based on the assumption that if the property were not rezoned for educational uses that the Project could be reoccupied by a retail tenant, similar to the prior use, that would generate taxable sales for the City. EPS was asked to treat that assumption as a given and wishes to make clear to the reader that this assumption is not based on a market analysis evaluating the viability of a return of a taxable retail use to the Project. 2 The Analysis is based on the assumption of up to 45 employees for the proposed rezone, including teachers and support personnel. The Analysis does not project increased demand or impacts directly from students as it is difficult to determine whether any or what proportion of students would otherwise attend another educational institution in the City, thereby merely shifting impacts from one location to another, rather than creating new impacts.

Memorandum
The Analysis results can be summarized as follows:
Scenario 1—Existing Use could generate an annual fiscal surplus, while Scenario 2— Proposed Use could generate an annual deficit. As shown in Table 1, estimated revenues exceed estimated expenditures for Scenario 1 by approximately $114,000.
For Scenario 2, estimated expenditures exceed estimated revenues by almost $8,000.
See Table 2 for supporting detail.
Estimated annual revenues in Scenario 1 are approximately $140,000 higher as compared to Scenario 2. With the assumption of commercial square footage generating retail sales taxes under Scenario 1, estimated annual sales tax revenues that may accrue to the City under Scenario 1 are greater than compared to Scenario 2. The difference in estimated sales tax revenues is the primary driver in the total difference in estimated revenues between the 2 scenarios. Estimated annual expenditures in Scenario 2 are anticipated to be lower than in Scenario 1. The proposed use for educational purposes is anticipated to have a lower annual impact on City service costs (almost 1/3 of the annual costs) as compared to a commercial retail use (Scenario 1). Despite lower annual expenditures, Scenario 2 results in far lower annual General Fund revenues than Scenario 1, driven by an assumed zero property tax revenue basis and no sales tax-generating uses.

Memorandum
Methodology and Assumptions
This section details the underlying methodology and assumptions used to estimate the fiscal impact of the Project on the City. It describes assumptions concerning municipal service delivery, land development, and General Fund budgeting. In addition, it details the methodology used to forecast the Project’s General Fund revenues and expenditures at buildout.
Municipal Service Provision
Citywide Services
This Analysis examines the Project’s ability to generate adequate revenues to cover the City’s costs of providing public services to the Project. The services analyzed in this Analysis comprise General Fund services (e.g., police, fire, and general government). This Analysis also does not address activities budgeted in other Governmental Funds or Proprietary Funds, nor does it include an evaluation of capital facilities or funding of capital facilities needed to serve new development.
General Assumptions
The Analysis is based on the City’s FY 2024-2025 Adopted Budget, tax regulations, statutes, and other general assumptions discussed herein. Each revenue item is estimated based on current State of California (State) legislation and current City practices. Future changes by either State legislation or City practices can affect the revenues and expenditures estimated in this Analysis. All costs and revenues are shown in constant 2024 dollars. General fiscal and demographic assumptions are detailed in Table A-1 in Appendix A.
This Analysis also uses information from the City, the Applicant, and historical and projected demographic data from the California Department of Finance (DOF), the U.S.
Census Bureau, and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Other critical assumptions that may affect the results of this Analysis are estimated annual taxable sales (for the existing zoning scenario) or whether the entire Project will qualify for a welfare property tax exemption (described below). The land use information in this Analysis was taken from the Project’s entitlement application. The results of this Analysis will vary if development plans or other assumptions change from those on which this Analysis is based.
General Fund Revenue- and Expenditure-Estimating Assumptions This Analysis considers only discretionary General Fund revenues that will be generated by the Project. Offsetting revenues, which are General Fund revenues that are dedicated to offset the costs of specific General Fund department functions, are excluded from this Analysis. Departmental costs funded by offsetting revenues or not affected by development also are excluded from this Analysis. Calculations used to estimate costs net of offsetting revenues are shown in Table C-1 in Appendix C. 107
Memorandum
Development Assumptions
Listed below are brief summaries of land use and other development-related assumptions:
Land Use. Land use assumptions were derived from the Applicant’s Project submittal to the City.
Nonresidential and Employee Estimates. Employee estimates for Scenario 1 are based on factors of average square feet per employee for Project nonresidential land uses. Estimated employment for Scenario 2 was derived based on the number of classrooms planned.
Nonresidential Assessed Value. EPS used the existing parcel assessed value as it appears on the Placer County Assessor’s records. It is notable that the Project had an overall assessed value of approximately $13.5 million, but has a net assessed value of $1.5 million, given an approximately $12.0 million assessed value exemption. For Scenario 2, the Analysis is based on the assumption that the Applicant would be able to seek an assessed value exemption for the entire total assessed value. Persons-Served Methodology. In estimating service demands of the Project and those of the existing City, EPS used a factor to approximate the service demands of an employee in Project nonresidential land uses as compared to the estimated impacts of a typical City resident. EPS used a factor of 0.5 to estimate an employee’s impact on services as compared to a resident’s impact, which is consistent with the persons-served methodology in other similar fiscal impact analyses.
Revenue-Estimating Methodology
EPS used either a marginal-revenue case-study approach or an average-revenue approach to estimate Project-related General Fund revenues.
The marginal-revenue case-study approach simulates actual revenue generation resulting from new development. The case-study approach for estimating sales and use tax revenues, for instance, forecasts taxable sales generated by the Project’s onsite retail.
The average-revenue approach uses the City’s FY 2024-2025 Adopted Budget revenue amounts on a citywide per capita or per-persons-served basis to forecast revenues derived from estimated residents of the Project.3
Revenue sources not expected to increase as a result of development are excluded from this Analysis. These sources of revenue are not affected by development because either
3 A per capita basis of estimating revenues assumes that only residents have a fiscal impact on City revenues.
A per-persons-served basis of estimating revenues is used to take into account that businesses (and their employees) have a fiscal impact on many City revenues but at a lower level than residential development’s impact.
108
Memorandum
they are one-time revenue sources not guaranteed to be available in the future or there is no direct relation between increased employment growth and increased revenue.
The list of revenue sources not anticipated to be impacted under either Scenario 1 or Scenario 2 includes the following revenue sources:
Property transfer taxes
Transient occupancy tax
Short-term rental transient occupancy tax
Business licenses
Licenses and permits
Reader’s Note: The discussion of revenues in this memorandum generally reflects the order of the revenues presented in the tables. In some cases, however, this order may vary for purposes of organizing the background discussion and in describing similarly estimated revenue items.
Property Tax
Estimated annual property tax revenue resulting from development in the Project is presented in Table B-3 in Appendix B. To be consistent with the City’s budget data, the estimated assessed values for Project land uses are assumed to remain static in 2024- dollar values—real growth in assessed value is not estimated. The share of property taxes the City is assumed to receive from the Project is derived from the total assessed value of the Project and the City’s property tax allocation share of the 1 percent ad valorem property tax, which is shown in Table B-3 as approximately 13 percent of the 1 percent ad valorem property tax after adjusting for the City’s Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) adjustment factor. As shown, annual property tax revenues to the City under Scenario 1 are very low, given the Project’s existing assessed value exemptions, and then are anticipated to go to zero under the proposed Scenario 2.
Property Tax in Lieu of Vehicle License Fees
A formula provided by the State Controller’s Office was used to forecast Property Tax in Lieu of Vehicle License Fees (PTIL VLF). PTIL VLF is calculated by taking the percentage increase of the City’s assessed value resulting from the Project and applying that percentage share to the City’s current State allocation of PTIL VLF. This calculation is shown in Table B-3 in Appendix B.
Sales Tax
Sales tax revenues are based on taxable sales generated in the City. The sales tax components examined in this Analysis include the Bradley-Burns 1 percent local sales tax rate the City receives for taxable sales within the City, as shown in Table B-4.
The Analysis uses two methodologies to estimate taxable sales generated by the Project:
109
Memorandum
1. The Market Support Method measures taxable sales generated from Project employees.
2. The Retail Space Method measures taxable sales from the Project’s retail land uses.
In addition to the above methodologies, the Analysis includes estimates of taxable sales revenues derived from anticipated business-to-business spending from Project commercial land uses.
Market Support Method
New Employees
The sales tax analysis accounts for taxable retail expenditures made by the employees generated by development of nonresidential land uses in the Project. The number of employees is estimated by using the total occupied building square footage for each nonresidential land use and applying an average square foot per employee factor for each corresponding land use (see Table A-3 in Appendix A). EPS estimates employees spend approximately $10 per business day on taxable goods.4 The amount of taxable sales from new employees is discounted by 50 percent to avoid double-counting employees who also are residents.
Total sales revenues generated for the City by the Project’s employees (for both Scenarios) and corresponding calculations for the Market Support Method are shown in Table B-4A in Appendix B.
Retail Space Method
Annual taxable sales generated by retail uses in the Project were calculated by taking an “annual sales per square foot” factor, informed by the following sources:
Urban Land Institute’s Dollars and Cents of Shopping Centers: 2008, escalated to 2024 dollars using the Consumer Price Index.
City experience with similar commercial retail outlets. EPS’s experience with similar projects and awareness of the subject property.
Total sales revenues and corresponding calculations for the Retail Space Method are shown in Table B-4B in Appendix B.
It is important to note the Analysis is based on the assumption that if the property were not rezoned for educational uses, the Project could be reoccupied by a retail tenant, similar to the prior use, which would generate taxable sales for the City. EPS was asked to treat that

Memorandum
assumption as a given and wishes to make clear to the reader that this assumption is not based on a market analysis evaluating the viability of a return of a taxable retail use to the Project.
Proposition 172
Revenues from the City’s share of the County’s half-cent sales tax for public safety are included in the Analysis and calculated in Table B-4 in Appendix B. The City’s public safety sales tax share is based on estimated citywide taxable sales from the City’s FY 2024-2025 budget.
Expenditure-Estimating Methodology
Expenditure estimates are based on the City’s FY 2024-2025 Adopted Budget and supplemental information from City staff. All City General Fund expenditure items are listed on Table C-1 in Appendix C. As described herein, the Project fiscal impact analyses rely on an “average-cost” methodology to estimate all General Fund expenditure impacts of new development on the City. An average-cost methodology is a common fiscal impact analysis methodology that divides the City’s net cost of service, for a given service function, by the service population to which that service is provided. In this manner, the average-cost method is based on the assumption the marginal cost of agency services to new Project residents and employees would equal the City’s existing average-cost structure.
This Analysis applies adjustment factors to several General Fund department average- cost multipliers to reflect the fact that new residents and employees may not increase certain General Fund department expenditures on a 1:1 ratio. Some departments have fixed costs not anticipated to increase with new development (see Table C-1 in Appendix C). These adjustment factors are based on EPS’s experience with similar fiscal impact analyses and account for the size and land use of the Project as compared to that of the existing City.
Expenditures affected by residents and employees are projected using a per-person- served average expenditure multiplier and include the department functions listed below:
General Government
City Council
City Manager
City Attorney
City Clerk
Administrative Services
Community Development
Information Technology
Other Nondepartmental Costs

Police Department
Fire Department
Public Works

Subject: opposing Destiny's occupation of revenue potential CAUTION: This email originated from outside your organization. Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders.
Council members: We should not pass up the opportunity to build commercial expansion
that yields increased sales tax revenue. Not decrease revenue! Destiny’s proposal to take over valuable commercial plot and potential is wrong for the city. Let them expand outside Rocklin…please. No houses will be built there. It’s an opportunity to expand…if we publicize it What we need is an effort to build and publicize the commercial appeal of Rocklin. We’re located on the X or two major highways!
That same effort should build and publicize the residential appeal of living in Rocklin. We are giving up too much to Roseville, Lincoln, and Loomis.
I am developing a proposal for a Rocklin marketing/public relations effort to address both commercial and residential appeal.
We have some unique advantages, e.g., Rocklin schools.
We also have some
disadvantages, e.g., no perceived downtown.
Rocklin is my 27th home, my 5th California county, and my 6th state. I know more than most how good we have it here.
Think economic development! Think long term ….and plan accordingly.
This proposed transaction is just that: transactional thinking. 127

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROCKLIN
APPROVING A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMDENT FOR A LEVEL OF
SERVICE EXCEPTION
(Destiny Christian School / GPA2025-0003)
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Rocklin finds as follows:
A. The Destiny Christian School project consists of a General Plan Amendment (GPA2025-0003), General Development Plan Amendment (PDG2025- 0002), Conditional Use Permit (U2025-0003), Design Review (DR2025 -0007) and Notice of Exemption (ENV2025-0011); (“Project”) to convert an approximately 53,000- square-foot tenant space within an existing retail commercial building into a school ; and
B. The City of Rocklin General Plan Circulation Element establishes Policy C-10, which identifies Level of Service (LOS) “C” as the Citywide standard for signalized intersections during the P.M. peak hour; and
C. Implementation of Policy C -10 is provided under General Plan Action Step CA -2, and this Step states that a diminished LOS lower than “C” shall be acceptable upon findings of the approving body that the solution requires improvements involving facilities controlled by another entity and agreement on the design cannot be reached; and
D. The General Plan Amendment proposes to adopt an LOS Exception for the Stanford Ranch Road / Five Star Boulevard intersection, although a portion of the intersection is located within the Cit ies of Rocklin and Roseville, the intersection ’s facilities are controlled by the City of Roseville. This exception is necessary as the City of Roseville will not commit to modifying the signalized intersection as recommended in the project’s traffic study, and without those improvements , the introduction of the Project would result in the LOS to fall below the standard required by the City of Rocklin General Plan Circulation Element of LOS C during the p.m. peak hour; and
E. Because the City of Roseville will not commit to modifying the signalized intersection at Stanfo rd Ranch Road / Five Star Boulevard as recommended in the project’s traffic study, the implementation of the Project will also impact two Rocklin controlled intersections – Five Star Boulevard / South Whitney Boulevard and Five Star Boulevard / Destiny Dri ve – and result in the LOS falling below the standard required by the City of Rocklin General Plan Circulation Element of LOS C during the p.m. peak hour. Therefore, an LOS Exception is required for these two intersections as well to allow for the Project to proceed; and
132
Resolution No. 2026- January 27, 2026 Page 2 of 7
1 F. A Notice of Exemption has been approved for this Project via Resolution No. 202 6-__. Although the Project requires an LOS Exception for the Roseville intersection at Stanford Ranch Road and Five Star Boulevard and two Rocklin intersections at Five Star Boulevard / South Whitney Boulevard and Fi ve Star Boulevard / Destiny Drive, LOS is no longer treated as a CEQA issue. This condition, on its own, does not trigger any additional CEQA review; and
G. The City Council has considered the effect of the approval of this General Plan Amendment / LOS Exception on the housing needs of the region, and balanced those needs against the public service needs of its residents and available fiscal and environmental resources. The approval of the LOS Exception for the three noted intersections would not have any impact on the housing needs of the region.
H. No physical development of new buildings would occur as part of the proposed LOS Exception and the approval of the General Plan Amendment would help facilitate operation of a school within a fully developed nonresidential area.
I. The Planning Commission of the City of Rocklin unanimously ( 4-0 with 1 absence) recommended the project for approval on December 2, 2025.
Section 2. The City Council of the City of Rocklin hereby approves a General Plan Amendment approving an LOS Exception for three intersections , as shown in Exhibit A, attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein.

A diminished Level of Service (LOS) recognized by Policy C-

a. Interim situations described as follows:
1) A Local Interim Situation - shall relate to the size and scope of the project, but in general shall mean until planned CIP improvements shown to improve the Level of Service to “C” or better are fully implemented. Construction of planned CIP improvements must be programmed within the current five-year increment of the CIP or is planned for construction within the first two years of the next five-year phase.
2) A Regional Interim Situation may be found for projects in the CIP requiring regional funding. LOS worse than “C” may be allowed on an interim basis that exceeds 7 years due to the availability of funding.
3) The timeframe for installation of improvements applied by the City as projects are approved must be within the ranges outlined above. However, this does not preclude decision makers from requiring that developers complete the installation of CIP improvements sooner than programmed if reduced Levels of Service are considered unacceptable at specific locations for those C-10 Planning

durations. In cases where CIP improvements are required to be implemented in advance by an individual developer, the City will consider entering into appropriate reimbursement agreements.
b. Street improvements will be considered infeasible if:
1) A specific improvement within Rocklin or in another
jurisdiction outside of Rocklin’s control is considered unacceptable to the City because it would create unusual economic, legal, social, technological, physical or other similar burdens and considerations.
2) The solution requires improvements in Rocklin involving facilities that are under the control of another entity such as Caltrans, and the City and that agency cannot come to agreement regarding the design and extent of the improvements that are needed.
3) Other specific circumstances as determined by the approving body.
c. Improvements to the following intersections have been found infeasible consistent with the methodology outlined in General Plan Action Step CA-2(b)(1) above:

d. Acknowledging the reality that growth in the region is likely to create level of service impacts on the Rocklin street system which the traffic modeling included in the General Plan EIR cannot predict, diminished levels of service are anticipated to be identified in the future at signalized intersections which connect directly to street systems controlled by other jurisdictions, or which are on streets that function regionally in nature, or which are within one mile from direct access to Interstate 80 or State Route 65. The following list of intersections meet that criteria and are likely to be impacted, even though feasible mitigation measures were identified at the time of the preparation of the General Plan EIR 136

Any other signalized intersection which connects directly to street systems controlled by other jurisdictions, or which are on streets that function regionally in nature, or which are within one mile from direct access to Interstate 80 or Highway 65 (Whitney Ranch Parkway/University Avenue)
Though the mitigation measures for these intersections set forth in the General Plan EIR will be included in the City’s Capital Improvement Program and are anticipated to be constructed, additional mitigation measures imposed upon Rocklin
development projects to mitigate extra territorial traffic impacts would impose undue economic, social and physical burdens on Rocklin development projects. Therefore, the City accepts a post mitigation diminished level of service at the listed signalized intersections which connect directly to street systems controlled by other jurisdictions, or which are on streets that function regionally in nature, or which are within one mile from direct access to Interstate 80 or State Route 65. Nothing is this subsection shall be deemed to relieve a development project in an adjacent jurisdiction creating traffic impacts on the Rocklin street system from analyzing those impacts and implementing mitigation measures in compliance with General Plan Policy C-10.C.

Resolution No. 2026- January 27, 2026 Page 3 of 5
1 2. Transportation, Traffic, and Circulation
a. This project shall comply with all recommendations contained in the Traffic Study prepared by Fehr and Peers, finalized on October 29, 2025, including the recommended AM drop off and PM pick up circulation figures and the On-Site Circulation Management Plan, included as part of Exhibit A. (PLANNING, ENGINEERING)
b. Prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, the school shall prepare and submit a Traffic Management Plan (TMP) for student drop -off and pick-up operations, for the review and approval of City staff. The TMP must provide a comprehensive strategy to ensure that all vehicle queues remain fully contained on private property. The TMP shall be updated annually, or sooner at the direction of City staff in response to ongoing circulation issues or documented public complaints. At a minimum, the TMP shall address the following:
1. Families should be encouraged to arrive after the end of the school day to pick up students. To support this, the school should adopt a formal policy prohibiting vehicles from entering the pick -up zone more than five minutes prior to dismissal. The school should also highlight the shorter wait times typically experienced by families who arrive after dismissal rather than early.
2. The TMP shall confirm that all vehicle queues during pick-up are fully contained on private property and do not extend into the public right- of-way along Five Star Boulevard , north of Scandinavian Designs.
Circulation for adjacent businesses and emergency a ccess shall remain unobstructed at all times.
3. The TMP may evaluate an alternative queuing pattern utilizing the staff parking area instead of directing vehicles back toward Five Star Boulevard. “Snaking” the queue through the parking lot may reduce queue length and limit impacts near the street.
4. The TMP shall include current and projected student enrollment, current and projected bell schedules, ingress and egress routes, the placement of traffic monitors, the placement of traffic control signs and devices, and any anticipated modifications or improvements to circulation.
5. Families picking up students at the lower grade school site after picking up students at the proposed expansion should be directed to exit onto Five Star Boulevard, travel north to Destiny Drive, and turn right onto Destiny Drive to travel to the existing Destiny Christian Elementary School site.

A combination of traffic cones, temporary signage and/or staff directing traffic should inform drivers of this closure. Signage and/or staff can also inform customers at Destiny Community Center and Harbor Freight Tools to exit via Destiny Drive. If vehicles do travel toward the drive aisle closure, signage and/or staff should direct these drivers to travel down the parking aisle towards Scandinavian Designs to access Five Star Boulevard.
(PLANNING, ENGINEERING)
c. The school shall be responsible for ensuring that student transportation throughout the project site complies with the approved TMP. If persistent parking or circulation issues occur within the center, the operator shall work with staff to revise the TMP to minimize these issues to the fullest extent practicable, to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director and City Engineer. If the operator and staff are unable to reach agreement on necessary modifications, staff may bring the project back to the Planning Commission for further review. (PLANNING, ENGINEERING)

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
(Destiny Christian School / PDG2025-0002)
The City Council of the City of Rocklin does ordain as follows:
Section 1. Findings. The City Council of the City of Rocklin finds and determines that:
A. The Destiny Christian School project consists of a General Plan Amendment (GPA2025 -0003), General Development Plan Amendment (PDG2025 - 0002), Conditional Use Permit (U2025-0003), Design Review (DR2025-0007) and Notice of Exemption (ENV202 5-0011); (“Project”) to convert an approximately 53,000-square- foot tenant space within an existing retail commercial building into a school; and
B. The General Development Plan Amendment amends a sub-area of the Five Star General Development Plan (Ordinance No. 579) to modify Area 15a, originally approved as an amendment to the Five Star General Development Plan via Ordinance No. 902 and amended via Ordinance No. 1021, to modify the list of conditionally permitted land uses to allow “school” uses, and to modify the parking standards within this document to allow a reduction in parking, consistent with operation of a school , applicable only to Area 15a of the Five Star General Development Plan ; Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 016- 351-015 and -016.
C. A Notice of Exemption has been approved for this Project via City Council Resolution No. 2026-__.
D. The area is physically suited to allow for the operation of a “school”, as would be authorized in the proposed General Development Plan Amendment. The area is fully developed, has ample parking, and would be an expansion of the existing school located directly adjacent to the southeast.
E. The proposed General Development Plan Amendment to allow for the operation of “schools” in Area 15a is compatible with the land uses existing and permitted on the properties in the vicinity of this project.

Section 3. Amendment to General Development Plan. The City Council of the City of Rocklin hereby approves a General Development Plan Amendment to amend a sub-area of the Five Star General Development Plan (Ordinance No. 579) to modify Area 15a, originally approved as an amendment to the Five Star General Development Plan via Ordinance No. 902 and amended via Ordinance No. 1021, to modify the list of conditionally permitted land uses to allow “school” uses , and to modify the parking standards within this document to allow reduced parking, consistent with operation of a school, applicable only to Area 15a of the Five Star General D evelopment Plan ; Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 016-351-015 and -016.
Section 4. Severability.
