AUTHORIZING THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR OR DESIGNEE TO CREATE AND IMPLEMENT A “PARKS OUTDOOR ATHLETIC FIELD AND COURT ADVERTISING PROGRAM,” AND A POLICY TO GOVERN SUCH PROGRAM;

FINDING THE ACTION IS NOT A PROJECT SUBJECT TO THE CALIFORNIA

ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
WHEREAS, the City desires to create and implement a “Parks Outdoor Athletic Field and Court Advertising Program” (“Program”) for the display of commercial advertising banners (“Banners”) on outdoor fenced athletic fields and courts on specific fences at Big Rock Park Pickleball Courts, Town Center Community Park West, Woodglen Vista Multipurpose Field, and West Hills Park (“Advertising Locations”), and to create and implement an accompanying policy to govern the Program (“Policy”); and WHEREAS, the City does not intend the Program, Banners, or Advertising Locations to provide or create a general public forum for free expression, debate, or discourse by the public. Rather, the City’s fundamental purpose and intent is to: (1) accept advertising to raise revenue to support City operations, services, and facilities, and to allow certain City-partnered youth sports organizations to raise revenue for the enrichment of youth sports and recreational opportunities in the City; and (2) to do so in a way that does not risk harming advertising sales, does not risk impeding or disrupting the use of the City’s athletic fields and courts for their intended recreational purposes of serving community youth and the general public, and does not risk tarnishing the City’s reputation or giving the appearance that the City endorses particular views; and WHEREAS, in furtherance of this discreet and limited objective, the City shall retain strict control over the nature of the advertisements accepted under the Program and maintain its Advertising Locations as a nonpublic forum; and WHEREAS, the Big Rock Park pickleball courts, Town Center Community Park West, Woodglen Vista multipurpose field, and West Hills Park all serve large numbers of minor children and youth as well as the general public, and Big Rock Park, Town Center Community Park West, Woodglen Vista multipurpose field, and West Hills Park are largely designated for organized youth sports activities or other City youth programming, meaning that youth are often a captive audience in these locations; and WHEREAS, certain types of advertisements would interfere with the Program’s primary purpose of generating revenue to benefit City operations, services, and facilities and to benefit youth sports opportunities without disrupting or discouraging the use of the City’s athletic fields and courts by youth and the general public. The City intends the Policy to be developed in a way that advances the Program’s purpose by prohibiting advertisements that could detract from revenues to be generated, interfere with youth and public use of the City’s athletic fields and courts, expose minors to age-inappropriate or sensitive content, or create substantial controversy.

WHEREAS, the City may allow the Santee Community Foundation, a California Public Benefit Corporation formed for the purpose of developing, promoting, and maintaining excellence in the City’s parks, recreation programs, services, and facilities, to collect certain revenues from the Program in order to fund improvements to the City’s recreation facilities, and the City Council finds and determines that allowing the Santee Community Foundation to collect such revenues from the Program would serve a public purpose by facilitating increased Program revenues that would directly benefit the City’s parks, recreation programs, services and facilities; and WHEREAS, the City desires to authorize the Community Services Director or designee to create and implement such a Program and Policy, at the Community Services Director’s or designee’s discretion, consistent with the goals and policies set forth herein.

UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
May 10, 2023

INTRODUCTION
In 2019, the City Council approved a comprehensive update of the Santee Municipal Code. In order to ensure the Municipal Code remains consistent with current law and City practice, we plan to conduct annual Municipal Code updates to ensure any necessary revisions are completed in a timely manner. This agenda item is the third of these annual updates, and seeks to amend portions of Titles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 of the Municipal Code.

Staff has made revisions throughout the Code to replace references to “Department of Development Services” with references to the appropriate Department, to reflect the City’s recent reorganization of the Department of Development Services into two separate Departments: the Planning and Building Department and the Engineering Department.

Staff has also made revisions throughout the Code to replace references to “handicapped persons” with references to “persons with disabilities.” The proposed revisions to Titles 1, 2, 4, 5, 9, and 10 consist solely of these minor updates in terminology. The proposed revisions to the other Titles include these updates as well as substantive revisions, which are summarized generally below and with more detail in the next section of this Staff Report.

The proposed substantive revisions to Title 3 increase the dollar thresholds for requiring formal bidding and informal bidding, increase the dollar thresholds for purchasing and contracting award authority for department directors and the City Manager, and increase the dollar threshold for contracts requiring City Council approval. 60139.00151\41172229.1
2 The proposed substantive revisions to Title 8 include clarifying that encroachments into the public right of way are prohibited with the exception of certain situations and prior approvals. Exceptions include minor surface improvements, such as the installation of gravel or mulch, the removal of which would not overly burden a City contractor hired to perform work within the City’s right of way.

The proposed substantive revisions to Title 11 focus primarily on streamlining and clarifying the existing requirements regarding undergrounding of utilities as a condition of project approval. The revisions are recommended due to developer confusion in determining the applicability of the requirements and the exceptions. The proposed revisions streamline the exemptions. The revisions to Title 11 also expand the existing homeowner obligations related to work performed without a required grading permit. The additional language is intended to provide direction to homeowners who are found to have commenced work without a valid permit. Currently, enormous staff time is allocated toward assisting these homeowners in addressing unpermitted work. The proposed revisions would help reduce the burden to staff as the new language defines the homeowners’ options to achieve compliance with minimal staff involvement by requiring the homeowner to show proof of a valid permit, engage with the necessary professional as necessary to obtain the required permits, or restore the area as it was.

The proposed substantive revisions to Title 12 include clarification of the private street standards by defining minimum widths, specifically for emergency access, alleyways, and parking considerations. The revisions also clarify that private streets are allowed only when specifically approved by the City Engineer.

The proposed substantive revisions to Title 13 include changes to the commercial use regulations such as requiring a conditional use permit for auto repair, car wash, and selfstorage facilities and allowing tattoo and body piercing as a permitted use. Also, food trucks will be allowed as a temporary use when operating as a catering service to drinking establishments. Other updates to Title 13 include replacing the term “mobilehome” with “manufactured home”; authorizing the Director to require a public hearing and Planning Commission review as needed for administrative projects; clarifying the requirements for cul-de-sacs in the R-2 zone; clarifying the perimeter setback and adding the driveway length requirement for Planned Residential Development; revising the visibility clearance diagram; requiring a parking demand study for carwash facilities and daycare centers / preschools; and making other minor clerical revisions and clarifications.

Public Hearing for Title 13
Government Code section 65854 requires the planning commission to hold a public hearing on certain proposed amendments to a zoning ordinance, including regulations relating to the use of buildings, structures, and land; regulation of building heights; and regulation of signs. Where there is no independent planning commission, as in the City, the City Council carries out the functions of the planning commission. For that reason, the Council must conduct a public hearing on the Ordinance amending Title 13. The Notice of Public Hearing for the Ordinance Amending Title 13 was published in the East 60139.00151\41172229.1
3 County Californian on April 28, 2023, in compliance with state law. The other Ordinance does not require a public hearing.

60139.00151\41172229.1
11 TITLE 13 “ZONING”
The proposed revisions to Title 13 are generally as follows:

Chapter 13.04 Administration
Section 13.04.140.B Definitions. Updated the definition of “Director” to replace references to the Department of Development Services with references to Planning and Building Department or
Engineering Department, as appropriate, and to make other minor revisions.

Revised the definitions of “congregate care facility,” “family,” “group are facility, general,” to replace references to “handicapped persons” with references to “persons with
disabilities.” Added definitions of “accessibility” and “accessible.”
Chapter 13.06 Permits
Section 13.06.055 Reasonable accommodation – Residential accessibility.

Revised to replace “Development Services” with the
appropriate Department.

Section 13.06.070.C Temporary uses. Added new subsection C.10 to allow a food truck or vending vehicle to operate as an ancillary use on an active construction site or on a lot developed with a brewery, bar, tavern, nightclub, lodge, or stand-alone liquor store. The food truck must operate as a catering or take-out only service and only operate for no more than three consecutive days while the primary use located on the same site is open for business. A temporary use permit will be required for two or more food trucks located on the same site. Currently, SMC Section 10.26.060.B.3 allows food trucks and vending
vehicles to operate on private property with the property owner’s consent, but SMC Section 10.26.010 includes a
finding that a food truck or vending vehicle parked for 10 minutes or longer may exacerbate traffic problems in highly congested areas and obstruct sidewalks. This new section is intended to clarify that a food truck or vending vehicle may operate for longer than 10 minutes when operating as an ancillary use as described above. City staff believes that this type of ancillary use is less likely to create the traffic problems mentioned in Section 10.26.010, as the food truck or vending vehicle would be located on a site already used as a brewery, 60139.00151\41172229.1
12 bar, etc. and would be subject to conditions prescribed by the Director.

Section 13.06.070 E Temporary Uses-Permit Required. Revised subsection E.2 to add submittal requirements and conditions for model
homes being used temporarily as offices.

Section 13.06.070.E Temporary Uses—Permit Required. In subsections E.3 and E.6, replaced references to “mobilehome” with “manufactured home” to be consistent with current City and State
terminology.

Section 13.08.030 Revised to replace “Development Services” with appropriate department.

Chapter 13.10 Residential Districts
Section 13.10.030 Residential Use Regulations. Revised to replace the term “mobilehome” with “manufactured home” to be consistent with current City and State terminology. Added language to clarify that manufactured homes that are approved as ADUs are
subject only to the ADU Ordinance.

Table 13.10.040A Site Development Criteria, Basic Development Standards – Residential. Minor clerical revision to add a footnote to Minimum Lot Dimensions for the R-2 zone to clarify that the requirements related to minimum lot frontage for cul-de-sacs and 90-degree radius turn streets apply in the R-2 zone as well as the HL, R-1, R-1A zones (which all currently include the footnote).

Table 13.10.040E Site Development Criteria, Development Standards for Residential Lots Within a Planned Residential Development.

Revised footnote 2 to clarify that the 10-foot setback applies 60139.00151\41172229.1
13 to buildings only, and not parking areas. Added a footnote to the front setback standard to require that the driveway for each required garage be a minimum of 20 feet long.

Section 13.10.045C Definitions. Removed the repeated sanitation requirement in the definition for Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit.

Section 13.10.050E Special Development Criteria, Fences, Walls, and Hedges.

Revised the Visibility Clearance Diagram to measure the sight distance triangle along the face of the curb and increase the distance from 10 feet to 30 feet.

Chapter 13.12 Commercial/Office Districts
Table 13.12.030A.B Commercial and office use regulations, Use Regulations for Commercial/Office Districts. Revised subsection B.10.c to change automotive repairs including painting, body work and services from permitted by right in the General Commercial zone to requiring a CUP, due to the impacts of this type of use on the surrounding community.

Revised subsection B.10.d to expand the washing and / or express car wash use to also include full service car wash and self-service car wash, and to change all of these uses from requiring a Minor CUP in the NC zone to requiring a CUP in that zone, and from being permitted by right in the GC zone to requiring a CUP in that zone due to the impacts of this type of use on the surrounding community.

Added new subsection B.59 to allow self-storage and public storage with a conditional use permit in the GC zone.

Revised subsection B.68 to change “tattoo parlor or body piercing salon” to “tattoo parlor and / or body piercing salon” and to permit this use by right in the GC zone. It had
previously been prohibited in all zones. This change reflects the changing nature of the tattoo use, including the rise in popularity of microblading and permanent makeup.

Section 13.12.030.G Commercial and office use regulations, Condition of Uses.

Revised subsection G.5 to remove language related to
parking requirements for food establishments with accessory eating. This language has been moved (without any changes) to Section 13.24.040, which sets forth parking requirements.

(without any changes) to Section 13.24.040, which sets forth parking requirements. Also revised subsection J to add new subsection J.5 to state that parking shall comply with Section

13.24.040.

Chapter 13.24 Parking Regulations
Section 13.24.040.A,D Design standards. Revised subsections A.2 and D.3 to replace references to “handicapped” parking spaces with parking spaces “for persons with disabilities." Also updated the reference in subsection D.3 to refer to the California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 2.

Section 13.24.040.A Parking Requirements, Residential. Revised subsection A.2 to replace “Cluster development (condominium, town home, etc.) semi-detached single-family (zero lot line, patio homes, duplexes, etc.) apartments” with “Multifamily development” to more accurately reflect the use. Also revised the off-street uncovered parking requirements to provide that for Planned Residential Developments, private on-street parking may be substituted for visitor parking, where sufficient street pavement width and distance between driveways has been
provided. This requirement previously applied to “single family zero lot line, patio homes, and duplexes.”

The previous requirement was one space for 500 square feet of gross floor area.

Section 13.24.040.B Parking Requirements, Nonresidential, Commercial, Places of Assembly. Revised subsection B.7 to provide that up to a total of 16 fixed seats are permitted in an accessory outdoor dining area for all food establishments and will not be counted toward the parking requirement.

SECTION 3. CEQA. Based upon the whole of the administrative record before it, the City Council hereby finds that the amendment of the Santee Municipal Code as set forth in this Ordinance is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) (Pub. Res. Code, § 21000 et seq.) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15000 et seq.) sections 15061(b)(3) and 15378(b)(5). An activity is subject to CEQA only if that activity has “the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.” (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15061(b)(3).) An activity is thus exempt from CEQA “[w]here it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” (Ibid.) Here, the amendment of the Santee Municipal Code as set forth in this Ordinance does not have the potential to result in either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15061(b)(3).) Moreover, approval of the Ordinance constitutes an administrative activity of the City and is additionally exempt from CEQA on that basis. (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15378(b)(5).) Staff is hereby directed to prepare, execute and file with the San Diego County Clerk a CEQA Notice of Exemption within five (5) working days after the adoption of this Ordinance.

SECTION 4. Codification. The City has adopted the “City of Santee Municipal Code Editorial Guidelines,” and, except as otherwise provided herein, authorizes Quality Code Publishing to make technical, non-substantive changes to conform the codified Ordinance to the guidelines. In the event a substantive conflict arises on the basis of the changes authorized by this Section, the language adopted by this Ordinance prevails. The City Clerk is authorized to provide certified copies and notice of this Ordinance or any part of this Ordinance required or advised by the law or any regulation.

SECTION 5. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance or any part thereof is for any reason held to be unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this Ordinance or any part thereof. The City Council of the City of Santee hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrases be declared unconstitutional. 60139.00151\41258992.1
SECTION 6. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall become effective thirty (30) days after its adoption.

SECTION 7. Publication. The City Clerk is hereby directed to certify the adoption of this Ordinance and cause a summary or 1/4 page advertisement of the same to be published as required by law.

J. Where any requirement of the reclamation plan conflicts with any requirement of the approved zoning permit, the Planning Director and the City Engineer will determine which requirement applies. (Ord. 564 § 3, 2019)

11.40.630 Financial assurances.

A. To ensure reclamation will proceed in accordance with the approved reclamation plan, the City requires as a condition of approval security for the faithful performance of the reclamation. The applicant may pose security in the form of a surety bond, cash deposit, irrevocable letter of credit from an accredited financial institution, or other method acceptable to the City Attorney and the State Mining and Geology Board as specified in State regulations, and which the City reasonably determines is adequate to perform reclamation in accordance with the surface mining operation’s approved reclamation plan. Financial assurances must be made payable to the City of Santee, the State Department of Conservation, and such other regulatory agencies the City deems necessary.

B. Financial assurances are required to ensure compliance with the reclamation plan, including but not limited to, revegetation and landscaping requirements, restoration of aquatic or wildlife habitat, restoration of water bodies and water quality, slope stability, erosion and drainage control, disposal of hazardous materials, and other measures, if necessary.

C. Cost estimates for the financial assurance must be submitted to the Department and / or the Planning and Building Department, as applicable, for review and approval prior to the operator securing financial assurances. The Department and / or the Planning and Building Department, as applicable, will forward a copy of the cost estimates, together with any documentation received supporting the amount of the cost estimates, to the State Department of Conservation for review. If the State Department of Conservation does not comment within 45 days of receipt of these estimates, it will be assumed that the cost estimates are adequate. The City has the discretion to approve the financial assurance if it meets the requirements of this article, SMARA, and State regulations.

D. The amount of the financial assurance must be based upon 100% of the estimated cost of reclamation plus a 10% contingency for the actual amount required to reclaim lands disturbed by surface mining activities since January 1, 1976, all new lands to be disturbed by surface mining activities in the upcoming year and areas not successfully reclaimed pursuant to the approved reclamation plan. The estimate must also include any maintenance of reclaimed areas as may be required. Cost estimates must be prepared by a California registered Professional Engineer and/or other similarly licensed and qualified professionals retained by the operator and approved by the Director and / or the Director of Planning and Building, as applicable. The estimated amount of the financial assurance must be based on an analysis of physical activities necessary to implement the approved reclamation plan, the unit costs for each of these activities, the number of units of each of these activities, and the actual administrative costs. Financial assurances to ensure compliance with establishing revegetation, restoration of water bodies, restoration of aquatic or wildlife habitat, and any other applicable element of the approved reclamation plan must be based upon cost estimates that include, but may not be limited to, labor, equipment, materials, mobilization of equipment, administration, and reasonable profit by a commercial operator other than the permittee.

E. In addition to the amount specified in subsection D of this section, the security instrument must provide that in the event suit is brought by the City and judgment recovered, the surety or financial institution must pay, in addition to the sum specified, all costs incurred by the City in such suit including a reasonable attorney’s fee to be fixed by the court.

F. In projecting the costs of financial assurances, it must be assumed without prejudice or insinuation that the surface mining operation could be abandoned by the operator and, consequently, the City or State Department of Conservation may need to contract with a third party commercial company for reclamation of the site.

G. The financial assurances must remain in effect for the duration of the surface mining operation and any additional period until reclamation is completed, including any required maintenance and establishment period. Upon completion of the surface mining and reclamation of mined lands in accordance with the approved reclamation plan, including maintenance and establishment periods, all financial assurances will be released, otherwise they must remain in full force and effect.

H. The City will annually review amount of financial assurances required of a surface mining operation for any one year to account for new lands disturbed by surface mining operations, inflation, and reclamation of lands accomplished in accordance with the approved reclamation plan. The financial assurances must include estimates to cover reclamation for existing conditions and anticipated activities during the upcoming year, excepting that the permittee may not claim credit for reclamation scheduled for completion during the coming year.

I. When requested, revised estimates for the financial assurances must be submitted to the Director and / or the Director of Planning and Building, as applicable, at the time of filing of the mine operator’s annual mining operation report. The estimate must cover the cost of existing disturbance and anticipated activities for the next calendar year, including any required interim reclamation. (Ord. 564 § 3, 2019) …

11.40.655 Interim management plans.

A. Within 90 days after a surface mining operation becomes idle, the operator must submit to the Department and / or the Planning and Building Department, as applicable, a proposed interim management plan (IMP). The proposed IMP must fully comply with the requirements of SMARA, including, but not limited to, all zoning permit conditions, and must provide measures the operator will implement to maintain the site in a stable condition, taking into consideration public health and safety. The proposed IMP must be submitted on forms prescribed by the Department and / or the Planning and Building Department, as applicable, and will be processed as an amendment to the reclamation plan. IMPs are not considered a project for the purposes of environmental review.

B. Financial assurances for idle operations must be maintained as though the operation were active, or as otherwise approved through the idle mine’s IMP. All financial assurances must conform to Section 11.40.630.

C. Upon receipt of a complete proposed IMP, the City will forward the IMP to the State Department of Conservation for review at least 30 days prior to approval by the City.

D. Within 60 days after receipt of the proposed IMP, or a longer period mutually agreed upon by the Director and the operator, the City will review and approve or deny the IMP in accordance with this chapter. The operator has 30 days, or a longer period mutually agreed upon by the operator and the Director, to submit a revised IMP. The City will approve or deny the revised IMP within 60 days of receipt.

E. The IMP may remain in effect for a period not to exceed five years, at which time the City may renew the IMP for another period not to exceed five years and for another five-year period at the expiration of the first five-year renewal period if the City finds that the surface mining operation has complied fully with the IMP, or require the surface mining operator to commence reclamation in accordance with its approved reclamation plan. (Ord. 564 § 3, 2019)

11.40.660 Inspections.

As a condition of each zoning permit or reclamation plan, the Department and / or the Planning and Building Department, as applicable, will conduct an inspection of the surface mining operation and reclamation activities within six months after receipt of the mine operator’s annual report. Inspection will be made by a State-registered geologist, State-registered civil engineer, State-licensed landscape architect, or State-registered forester, who is experienced in land reclamation and who has not been employed by the mining operation in any capacity during the previous 12 months, or other qualified specialists, as may be determined by the Director. All inspections must be conducted using a form approved and provided by the State Mining and Geology Board. The Department and / or the Planning and Building Department, as applicable, will notify the State Department of Conservation within 30 days of completion of the inspection that said inspection has been conducted, and forward a copy of said inspection notice and any supporting documentation to the mining operator. The operator is solely responsible for the reasonable cost of such inspection. (Ord. 564 § 3, 2019) Chapter 11.50 Electric Vehicle Charging Systems Expedited, Streamlined Permitting Process

E. The Building Official, in consultation with the Director of Planning and Building, may require an applicant to apply for a use permit if the Building Official finds, based on substantial evidence, that the electric vehicle charging station could have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health and safety. The Building Official’s decision to require a use permit may be appealed by the applicant pursuant to Section 13.04.070 of this Code.

F. If a use permit is required, the application for the use permit may be denied if the City Council makes written findings based upon substantial evidence in the record that the proposed installation would have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety and there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific, adverse impact. Such findings shall include the basis for the rejection of potential feasible alternatives for preventing the specific, adverse impact. Such decisions may be appealed to the pursuant to Santee Municipal Code Sections 13.04.040 and 13.04.070. (Ord. 576 § 3, 2020)

If an applicant needs assistance in making the request or any appeals associated with the request, the Department shall provide reasonable assistance necessary to ensure the process is accessible to the applicant. No application fee shall be collected for reasonable accommodation requests filed pursuant to this section.
