AGENDA ITEM
City Council
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Whitney Zeller, Community and Economic Development Manager
DATE: July 18, 2023
SUBJECT: Designation of “Authorized Agents” for Disaster Recovery Assistance FILE NO.: E-500-200-262
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council of the City of Shasta Lake adopt a Resolution designating “Authorized Agents” to interact with the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal-OES) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on all matters related to existing and future declared disasters. Designees would include the City Manager, Electric Utility Director, Finance Director, and Community and Economic Development Manager.
BACKGROUND:
The City is periodically impacted by disasters that may cause a number of damages affecting infrastructure, buildings, assets, and costs for response personnel. The City may be reimbursed for damage costs through disaster relief under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act of 1988 and/or the California Disaster Assistance Act. In either case, the City, as an applicant, must designate Authorized Agent(s) to provide assurances and agreements to the State Office of Emergency Services on all matters pertaining to such disaster assistance.
The City currently has designated Authorized Agents for specific disasters, but does not have a general resolution authorizing designated staff to interact on behalf of the City. The attached resolution would designate the City Manager, Electric Utility Director, Finance Director, and Community and Economic Development Manager as the City’s Authorized Agents.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
There is no fiscal impact incurred as a result of approval of this resolution.

AGENDA ITEM
City Council
July 18, 2023, Agenda
TO: Jessaca Lugo, City Manager
FROM: Jim Hamilton, Senior Planner (Annuitant)
DATE: July 18, 2023
SUBJECT: Amendments to Title 17 – “Zoning” of the Shasta Lake Municipal Code, including adoption of an Interim Zoning Ordinance (IZO).
FILE NO.: Z 23-01
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff and the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council consider the information provided in the staff report and presentation and open the meeting to accept public comments on the ordinance. If determined appropriate, staff recommends Council adopt the proposed ordinance including revisions to Title 17-Zoning of the Municipal Code (SLMC) and the Interim Zoning Ordinance (IZO) and Interim Zoning Overlay Map(s).
RECOMMENDED MOTION
Staff recommends the City Council make the following motion to adopt the proposed ordinance and offer it for first reading:
“I move the City Council adopt the ordinance attached to the staff report, finding the ordinance exempt from further environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section(s) 15162 and 15168(c)(2) (Program EIR), and amending Chapter 17.02 of Title 17, including adopting the Interim Zoning Ordinance (IZO).” BACKGROUND:
On November 15, 2022, the Council adopted Ordinance No. 2022-296 “Codification and Inclusion of the General Plan in the Municipal Code.” The ordinance gave direction on the processing of land use entitlements following adoption of the 2040 General Plan. This direction has been used in developing the attached interim zoning ordinance. “Interim zoning” is a temporary zoning that is used while a city completes necessary revisions to an existing zoning plan to implement a general plan.
Zoning is a primary means of implementing an adopted general plan. In contrast to the long-term outlook of a general plan, zoning governs the specific, immediate uses of land. The success of a 29 general plan rests in part upon the success of a zoning ordinance in translating the long-range goals contained in a general plan into everyday land use decisions. Working with the Commission, staff prepared a draft interim zoning ordinance (IZO) to replace the basic zoning direction provided in ordinance No. 2022-296.
On April 20, 2023, a noticed Planning Commission workshop was held to review the direction and content of the IZO. This workshop was preceded by presentations and discussions with the Commission on the direction of the IZO. On June 22, 2023, the Planning Commission held a noticed hearing to consider the draft IZO and recommended (4-0) that the Council adopt the ordinance and the SLMC amendments.
INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE
The IZO is considered a first phase (Phase I) update to Title 17 - “Zoning” of the Municipal Code.
If adopted, it will supply direction in reviewing applications pending completion of the comprehensive zoning ordinance update (Phase II). The IZO establishes zoning provisions to govern the use, permitting, and development of property. This will allow new development applications to continue without delay in a manner legally consistent with the goals, policies, and land use designations of the 2040 General Plan. During the effective term of the IZO (limited to 22 months without further Council authorization), the City must complete the necessary revisions to the citywide zoning plan.
• Relationship of IZO to Current Title 17 - “Zoning”.
The IZO establishes a regulatory relationship between the policies and land use designations of the new General Plan, and the current zoning districts and development standards of Title 17.
Included in the IZO are:
1. Zoning “overlay” districts which match the boundaries of the new land use districts adopted with the General Plan. The IZO will ease consistency determinations between the current (base) zoning of a property, and its new General Plan land use designation(s). If a conflict exists, the ordinance establishes a process for resolution.
2. Establishment of allowable uses for each overlay district. The list of uses will apply to the base districts within a given zoning overlay district.
3. Allowable use tables are included for each overlay zoning district. These tables provide a method to quickly determine process and any unique issues associated with a particular use.
4. Project size thresholds to establish proper project review process. This will allow many development projects which will create only minor land use impacts to obtain entitlements more quickly.
5. Basic design standards for new mixed-use development have been included in the “MixedUse” overlay district to satisfy General Plan policy direction.
6. Several new residential use “types” have been added in response to changes in state housing law.
7. Establishment of a “site development” permit process. This is used for projects which need only limited review to ensure compliance with adopted development standards. This permit type is triggered by changes in state law which require ministerial (nondiscretionary review) of residential development. 30 Adoption of the ordinance includes adopting minor additions to Title 17. The additions establish the relationship of the uncodified IZO to Title 17, including acknowledging the 22- month “sunset” of the IZO. The amendments include the addition of the following sub-sections to the Municipal Code which are described in the attached ordinance:
i. 17.02.040: 2040 General Plan Interim Zoning Ordinance - established. ii. 17.02.045: 2040 General Plan Interim Zoning Overlay Map(s) – established. iii. 17.02.050: General Plan Interim Zoning Overlay Districts and Principal Zone Districts – applicability.
• No Modification to Existing Property Development Standards To ensure that new developments constructed during the interim period are compatible with surrounding properties, the IZO makes no changes to the City’s current property development standards. For example, the standards for building setbacks, building height, floor area ratio, lot coverage, lot area, parking and signs all remain as currently adopted in Title 17.
The IZO includes standards for the development and subdivision of properties within the Mixed Use District consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element. The standards require approval of a conceptual site development plan via a use permit or planned development zoning. These provisions affect approximately 159 acres (18%) of land planned for mixed-use development in the General Plan.
ALTERNATIVES
Alternatives include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Adopt the proposed ordinance.
2. Do not adopt the proposed ordinance. Where conflicts exist between current zoning/property standards and the General Plan, the proposal may have to be changed or denied.
3. Direct that the ordinance be revised to address issues or modifications determined necessary by the Council. The Council should supply directions on the necessary revisions. As required by state law, the revised ordinance would be returned to the Planning Commission for review and report to the Council prior to final action.
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY DETERMINATION
The proposed IZO is consistent with the General Plan because it will support the adopted goals, policies, and implementation measures including, but not limited to, the following:
a. POLICY-HE-1.1 Adequate Housing Sites. The City shall ensure that there are adequate sites available to meet its regional housing needs with an allocation of 238 units.
b. POLICY-HE-1.3 Infill Development. The City shall support infill residential development on underutilized or vacant infill sites to facilitate production of housing units while also prioritizing minimal displacement of existing residents. c. POLICY-HE-1.5 Governmental Constraints. The City shall minimize governmental constraints to the development, improvement, and maintenance of its housing 31 stock, such as reducing setbacks, height limitations, coverage ratios, parking requirements, and other development regulations.
d. IMPLEMENTATION-LU-1.7 Establish zoning districts and quality development standards consistent with general plan goals and policies and amend the city’s zoning map in a timely manner to be consistent with the General Plan. e. IMPLEMENTATION-LU-1.8 Ensure the zoning ordinance provides for minimum and maximum densities consistent with the General Plan's land use classifications and state law.
f. POLICY-LU-3.1 Where practical, promote mixed-use development patterns and higher densities that use land and resources efficiently, reduce automobile dependence and pollution, and facilitate walking, bicycling, and transit use. g. POLICY-LU-3.5 New development should be consistent with the densities and intensity established in this element (the Land Use Element) to ensure orderly development of the community.
h. IMPLEMENTATION-LU-3.1 Review, and as necessary revise, specific design policies, guidelines, and development standards to address new structures and property development.
i. IMPLEMENTATION-LU-3.4 Discourage development without a coordinated plan for land use or that is incompatible with adjacent residential areas, circulation limitations, available infrastructure capacity, or public service needs. j. OBJECTIVE LU-6. To recognize that the major economic resources for achieving the development pattern will come from the private sector, rather than government, and that the General Plan, as the expression of community values, will guide the use of these resources.
k. POLICY LU-n. The City's regulatory systems should accommodate new economic development and should be reviewed periodically to facilitate development and the permitting process.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SHASTA LAKE ADOPTING INTERIM ZONING PROVISIONS NECESSARY TO IMPLEMENT THE 2040 GENERAL PLAN
AND ITS RELATED LAND USE MAP AND INCLUDING MINOR TEXT AMENDMENTS TO TITLE 17 - “ZONING” OF THE SHASTA LAKE MUNICIPAL CODE.
WHEREAS Section 65300 et seq. of the California Government Code requires the City to prepare and adopt a comprehensive, long-range general plan for the physical development of the city; and
WHEREAS the General Plan of the City of Shasta Lake was adopted to guide development in compliance with state law on November 15, 2022; and
WHEREAS the Government Code allows the City to adopt ordinances and standards to reasonably regulate the development of property, and to protect public health, safety, general welfare and the environment, consistent with the direction provided by the General Plan; and WHEREAS, Government Code Section 65858 authorizes the City Council, to adopt an interim ordinance prohibiting development that is in conflict with a general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the legislative body, planning commission or the planning department is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time; and WHEREAS the City Council, Planning Commission and Director of Development Services do intend to study and to update the zoning plan of the city to achieve consistency with the adopted 2040 General Plan Update; and
WHEREAS, the City of Shasta Lake proposes to amend Article 1, of Title 17 of the Municipal Code by the addition of Section 17.02.040: 2040 General Plan Interim Zoning Ordinance - established; and
WHEREAS, the City of Shasta Lake proposes to amend Article 1, of Title 17 of the Municipal Code by the addition of Section 17.02.045: 2040 General Plan Interim Zoning Overlay Map(s) – established; and
WHEREAS, the City of Shasta Lake proposes to amend Article 1, of Title 17 of the Municipal Code by the addition of Section 17.02.050: General Plan Interim Zoning Overlay Districts and Principal Zone Districts – applicability; and
WHEREAS the Planning Commission conducted a noticed public hearing on June 22, 2023, and considered all public testimony as well as all written materials and other information in the record and made a recommendation to the City Council supporting adoption of the referenced amendments to Title 17, including the adoption of the uncodified Interim Zoning Ordinance and related zoning overlay maps; and
WHEREAS a notice of the proposed ordinance was published following the requirements of state law in the Redding-Record Searchlight, a paper of general circulation on July 5, 2023.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Shasta Lake does hereby ordain as follows:
34 SECTION 1: Findings, determinations, and direction:
1. The City Council finds that there exists a potential threat to the public health, safety, and general welfare which includes, but is not limited to, applications for subdivisions, use permits, variances, grading permits, and other permits including building permits that may conflict directly or indirectly with the adopted goals, policies, and implementation measures of the 2040 General Plan. Therefore, there is a need to adopt limited interim zoning and subdivision provisions to address uses and development of property which may conflict with the recently adopted General Plan.
2. Because a comprehensive zoning ordinance update (Phase II) is necessary in order to provide land use regulations and standards in areas where the existing zoning plan is inconsistent with the General Plan, the City Council finds that adoption of the interim zoning provisions as set forth in Exhibit A “Interim Zoning Ordinance” including its attachments and exhibits, is necessary and in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare of the residents of the city.
3. By supporting orderly and safe development of living environments and the continued growth of the local economy consistent with General Plan direction, adoption of the Interim Zoning Ordinance is necessary to preserve the quality of life of residents and the economy of the community until permanent revisions to the zoning plan of the city can reasonably be completed.
4. Adoption of the Interim Zoning Ordinance and related amendments to Title 17 “Zoning” will further the public necessity, convenience, and general welfare by providing citizens and property owners with continued opportunities to participate in the planning and decision-making processes relative to the creation of a new zoning plan for the city, thereby avoiding the need to adopt a potential moratorium on development which could result in the loss of business and housing opportunities needed by the residents of the city.
5. The proposed zoning amendments and the IZO will implement the recently adopted General Plan, helping to avoid incompatible or inconsistent uses of property that conflict with the General Plan. The amendments will provide the public with continued opportunities to take part in the planning and decision-making processes of the City relative to the development of property. In addition, the amendments supply a basis for logical decision making to support enforcement of General Plan policies and recommended zoning criteria which limit incompatible uses of property.
6. The proposed interim zoning ordinance will aid in the preservation of land and buildings, while enhancing the quality of life of residents by supporting development of a variety of living environments and accommodating new growth within the General Plan’s welldefined and understood policies intended to preserve the built and natural environment of the community.
7. The proposed ordinance is consistent with the General Plan because it serves as a framework for review of new development proposals. The ordinance will help to ease administration of the planning process by a) supporting the efficient and expeditious handling of planning matters; and b) providing for timely and decisive action on land use matters.
35 8. The City Council hereby directs that the Interim Zoning Ordinance including its associated zoning maps (Exhibit A) shall be an uncodified ordinance which shall apply to land use approvals and development applications in the City until revoked by Council action or expired as set forth in this ordinance.
9. The City Council directs the Director of Development Services to start the comprehensive study and modification of the zoning plan of the city (Phase II), including all its relevant provisions and zoning map(s), to achieve full consistency with the 2040 General Plan.
10. This ordinance shall be of no further force and affect 22 months from its date of implementation, unless extended by Council action. Implementation of this ordinance shall begin no later than 30 days following its second reading.
11. All City departments, officials and public employees vested with the duty or authority to issue permits, licenses, or certificates shall conform to the provisions of the Interim Zoning Ordinance. No license, certificate, permit, or renewal or extension thereof, shall be issued where the same would be in conflict with the provisions of the Interim Zoning Ordinance.
Any such license, permit, or certificate issued in conflict herewith shall be invalid.
12. The City Council finds that these proposed actions and determinations are consistent with the City’s General Plan by supporting the adopted goals, objectives, policies, and implementation measures including the following:
a. POLICY LU-n. The City's regulatory systems should accommodate new economic development and should be reviewed periodically to facilitate the development and the permitting process; and,
b. POLICY-HE-1.5 Governmental Constraints. The City shall minimize governmental constraints to the development, improvement, and maintenance of its housing stock, such as reducing setbacks, height limitations, coverage ratios, parking requirements, and other development regulations.
c. IMPLEMENTATION-LU-1.7 Establish zoning districts and quality development standards consistent with general plan goals and policies, and amend the city’s zoning map in a timely manner to be consistent with the General Plan; and d. IMPLEMENTATION-LU-1.8 Ensure the zoning ordinance provides for minimum and maximum densities consistent with the General Plan's land use classifications and state law. (Source: Existing Implementation LU-3, modified); and e. POLICY-LU-3.1 Where practical, promote mixed-use development patterns and higher densities that use land and resources efficiently, reduce automobile dependence and pollution, and facilitate walking, bicycling, and transit use; and f. POLICY-LU-3.5 New development should be consistent with the densities and intensity established in this element (the Land Use Element) to ensure orderly development of the community; and
g. IMPLEMENTATION-LU-3.1 Review, and as necessary revise, specific design policies, guidelines, and development standards to address new structures and property development; and
36 h. IMPLEMENTATION-LU-3.4 Discourage development without a coordinated plan for land use or that is incompatible with adjacent residential areas, circulation limitations, available infrastructure capacity, or public service needs.

The decision of the Planning Commission shall be made by resolution. The decision of the Planning Commission may be appealed to the City Council consistent with the provisions contained in Title - 17 of the Municipal Code for such appeal and as otherwise may be set forth in this ordinance.
1.05.30 Criteria for determining General Plan and interim zoning ordinance conformity.
This section in combination with Title -17 “Zoning” specifies the process and requirements for review of development applications to ensure such applications conform to the 2040 General Plan Update.
A. General Plan conformity for all entitlement applications and uses of property is required.
Any application for a permit or other entitlement that does not conform to the goals, policies, and/or implementation measures of the General Plan, shall not be approved. The following processes are established to provide direction in considering such determinations:
1. If allowed by the Interim Zoning Ordinance and/or Title - 17 (no “express conflict”). The permitting process for the application shall be consistent with the requirements and entitlement processes as set forth in this ordinance, and in Title - 17 – “Zoning” as determined applicable by the Director, or designee.
2. If not allowed by the Interim Zoning Ordinance and/or Title 17 but conforms with the General Plan (no “express conflict”) – use permit. A project application that is determined to conform to the General Plan, and the use or activity is not otherwise permitted by the provisions of this ordinance or Title - 17 “Zoning” may be allowable upon the granting of a use permit if it is determined that the application conforms to the applicable use permit findings set forth in the Municipal Code, and to each of the following additional findings:
i. Approval of the project and/or use is consistent with the intent and purposes of both the relevant interim zoning classification, and the General Plan land use district in which the site is located.
ii. Approval of the project will not otherwise prevent the effective implementation of the General Plan, including its applicable goals, policies, and implementation measures.
3. If not allowed by the Interim Zoning Ordinance and does not conform with the General Plan (“express conflict”) – General Plan amendment and rezoning. Any application for a use or activity that is not permitted in the General Plan interim zoning district overlay where the project is located, shall be denied. At the applicant’s option, the applicant may modify the proposed application to conform to the Interim Zoning. At the applicant’s option, the applicant may modify the project to conform to the General Plan or may apply for a General Plan Amendment and related Zoning Ordinance Amendment, 47 7
CHAPTER 1 – GENERAL PROVISIONS OF THE CITY OF SHASTA LAKE INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE as set forth herein. A rezoning shall be to the “best fit” zoning district that is consistent with the General Plan land use classification in which the proposed use is located, and in each case the approval shall be based on the consistency findings provided in Section
1.05.30.A.2.
1.06 Applicability and general requirements – interim zoning ordinance.
A. Applicability. In combination with the Municipal Code, this ordinance applies to and regulates all land uses and development of land within the City of Shasta Lake.
B. Compliance required. No structure or use shall be altered, erected, or reconstructed in any manner, nor shall any structure or land be used for any purpose other than as allowed by this ordinance and the Municipal Code.
C. Conflicts with adopted plans and ordinances. When there is a conflict between this ordinance and the General Plan or other zoning provisions, the General Plan shall prevail. If a conflict occurs between the requirements of this ordinance and any standard(s) or allowable uses of property allowed pursuant to a development agreement, specific plan or area plan, the requirements of the development agreement, specific plan, or area plan, shall apply.
D. Minimum requirements. The requirements of this ordinance are minimum requirements for the promotion of public health, safety, and general welfare. Where a discretionary approval or permission is required, more stringent development standards or requirements may be imposed as determined necessary by the approving or review authority to promote land use and development compatibility, provide environmental protection, and/or to meet the purposes of this ordinance and the General Plan.
E. Private agreements. The requirements of this ordinance are not intended to interfere with, abrogate, annul, or repeal any agreement, covenant (e.g., CC&Rs), easement, or restriction between private parties. However, if this ordinance conflicts with requirements imposed or required by other private agreements, covenants, or easements, the provisions of this ordinance shall control. The city shall not enforce, or take into consideration as part of any action, a private agreement, covenant, or restriction unless it is a party to such agreement, covenant, or restriction.
F. Other permits may be required. Nothing in this ordinance eliminates the need for obtaining any other permit required by the city or other agency, and the following of the regulations of a county, special district or agency, or a state or federal agency. 48 CHAPTER 2 - INTERIM ZONING DISTRICTS OF THE

CHAPTER 2 - INTERIM ZONING DISTRICTS OF THE CITY OF SHASTA LAKE INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE CHAPTER 2 – INTERIM ZONES
2.01 Purpose of Chapter 2 – Interim Zoning Districts.
The purpose of Chapter 2 of the Interim Zoning Ordinance is to establish and define “interim zoning overlay” districts consistent with the land use designations of the adopted 2040 General Plan Land Use Diagram boundaries. Such zoning overlays shall be applicable to all property within the corporate limits of the city.
2.01. A Establishment of Interim Zoning Overlay Districts.
Interim zoning overlay districts, as reflected on the interim zoning overlay map, are hereby established to classify, regulate, designate, and distribute the use of land and buildings consistent with the land use designations as set forth in the 2040 General Plan Update; to regulate and restrict the height and bulk of buildings; to regulate the area of yards and other open spaces around buildings; and to regulate the intensity of development and the density of population within the city.
2.01. B Establishment of Interim Zoning Overlay Map.
A map, hereafter known as the "interim zoning overlay map," is hereby established and shall show the designations and boundaries of each interim zoning overlay district within the city limits. The map shall depict base data as deemed useful by the Development Services Director, the Planning Commission and City Council. The map shall be maintained by the Development Services Department.
2.02 Title 17- Zoning provisions superseded.
The provisions of this Interim Zoning Ordinance shall supersede and/or take precedence over Title-17 “Zoning” of the Shasta Lake Municipal Code, as follows:
A. Except where specifically modified by this ordinance, or existing land use entitlement, all zoning districts described in Title-17 of the Municipal Code shall be considered “base” zoning districts and shall be considered sub-districts to the Interim General Plan Zoning Overlay Districts as set forth in Section 2.04 – Interim Zones. All new developments, and significant changes or expansion of uses within the City, shall comply with the purposes, standards, development regulations and requirements of the base zoning district, except as modified by this ordinance.
B. The zoning designation, development standards, use provisions, and permitting standards of any planned development, area plan, or specific plan which may exist at the time of adoption of this Interim Zoning Ordinance shall remain in full force and effect. In cases where a land use entitlement, planned development, area plan, or specific plan is silent on a development standard, allowable use provision, or permitting requirement, the provisions of this ordinance shall govern.
2.03 Zone district boundary determinations and interpretations.
Where uncertainty exists as to the zoning or land use boundaries of any district shown on the base district zoning map or the Interim Zoning Overlay Map, the following rules of determination shall apply. Such determinations shall not constitute an amendment of the Overlay Map or the applicable base zoning map(s).
In any case where uncertainty exists, the Directorshall determine the boundary. The Director’s determinations may be appealed to the Planning Commission in accordance with Section 17.94.060 of the Municipal Code. In all cases compliance with the boundaries of the General Plan Interim Overlay Zoning Map shall govern.
A. Use of the city’s geographic information system (GIS) shall be acceptable in making all boundary determinations, except in cases where it is determined by the Director that a property boundary survey prepared by a licensed professional is necessary to make such determination. 51 3
CHAPTER 2 - INTERIM ZONING DISTRICTS OF THE CITY OF SHASTA LAKE INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE B. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following street and alley lines, such lines shall be construed to follow the center of the street or alley.
C. Where district boundaries are indicated as following a property or lot line(s), the lot line shall govern.
D. Where a property is affected by two or more district boundaries of the General Plan Interim Land Use Overlay Zoning Map, the locations of such boundaries shall be determined by use of the adopted General Plan Land Use Diagram and these criteria.
E. General Plan Interim Land Use Overlay Zoning Map district boundaries depicted as lying at the centerline of a stream, creek, or other body of water, shall be construed to follow the centerline of the stream or creek or water body. Alternately the adopted FEMA one-hundred-year floodplain boundary identified for a watercourse may be used where such boundaries exist.
2.04 Interim zoning overlay zones - described.
Exhibit 1 to this ordinance is titled “General Plan Interim Zoning Map.” The map depicts interim land use overlay zones that are consistent with the land use boundaries as depicted in the adopted General Plan Land Use Diagram. Allowable uses, permitted uses, prohibited uses, as well as development regulations and design requirements are set forth in Chapter 3 – Zoning Regulations of this ordinance. Title-17 “Zoning” of the Municipal Code shall be referenced for applicable base zoning district development standards and design requirements, except where such provisions are modified by this ordinance. The purpose and description of each interim land use overlay zone follows:
A. Rural Residential-A (RR-A) Overlay Zone: Rural Residential-A provides living environments receiving no or limited City services such as sewer, water, or electricity. Permissible uses include single‐family dwellings and associated accessory uses on large lots, which are typically accessed via publicly maintained roads. Properties may be located within moderate-to-high sloped areas (10% and greater). Lots, access roads and other property improvements must comply with the City’s hillside development standards where applicable. The maximum allowed density for the Rural Residential A (RR-A) zone is 1 dwelling unit (DU) per 2 Acres. Section 3.05.A of the Interim Zoning Ordinance shall be referenced for applicable design, development, permitting and use standards.
B. Rural Residential-B (RR-B)Overlay Zone: Rural Residential-B provides for rural living environments typically receiving no City services which are in areas characterized by one of more of the following conditions: septic system use, uncertain long‐term availability of water service, proximity to lands categorized as public or timber, and inaccessibility due to a lack of publicly maintained roads. Low density residential uses and uses that support rural activities, such as limited agricultural operations, may be compatible with this development pattern. Many of these land uses are encumbered by steeped sloped areas. Development of parcels and access roads must meet the City’s hillside development and grading standards. The maximum allowed density for the Rural Residential B overlay zone is 1 DU/5 Acres. Section 3.05.A of the Interim Zoning Ordinance shall be referenced for applicable design, development, permitting and use standards.
C. Suburban Residential (SR) Overlay Zone: The Suburban Residential overlay zone is applied in areas with accessibility to City infrastructure services for single-family homes and is characterized by low densities (3 or fewer residential units per acre). This classification permits single‐ family dwellings on larger lots accessed via public roads. This classification accommodates large parcels (14,520 square feet or more) and the feeling of open space integrated with a suburban lifestyle. At the upper end of the density range, subdivisions would include fully developed streets and sidewalks, 52 4
CHAPTER 2 - INTERIM ZONING DISTRICTS OF THE CITY OF SHASTA LAKE INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE and would be served by City sewer and water. At the lower end of the density range, particularly in higher sloped areas, alternative designs for utility infrastructure and pedestrian facilities may be appropriate, subject to compliance with the policy direction of the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan and the General Plan Public Safety Element. The maximum allowed net density for Suburban Residential is 3 DU/Acre. Section 3.05.A of the Interim Zoning Ordinance shall be referenced for applicable design, development, permitting and use standards.
D. Urban Residential (UR) Overlay Zone: Urban Residential provides living environments receiving a full range of urban services including public streets. Clustered development may occur with land set aside for public open space. This classification is intended to accommodate detached or attached single-family homes on a variety of lot sizes, generally not less than 5,000 square feet in area, or the clustering of lots separated by common open spaces to accommodate a range of residential housing types, including duplexes and accessory dwelling units, subject to compliance with quality design standards. This classification is not appropriate for higher sloped areas (exceeding 10 percent slope), except in larger subdivisions or master planned developments where slopes can be avoided, or the units are otherwise designed to be compatible with natural breaks in the hillside terrain. Allowable net densities for the Urban Residential Zone are 6-12 DUs/Acre.
Section 3.05.B of the Interim Zoning Ordinance shall be referenced for applicable design, development, permitting and use standards.
E. Urban Residential – High A (UR-A) Overlay Zone: Urban Residential - High A is the highest density multi-family residential classification, which provides a full range of urban services to residential development accessed via public roads. Acceptable uses may include multistory and mixed-use townhomes, condominiums, apartments, and live/work units, as well as limited retail and commercial service uses that support larger urban residential developments. This classification is not appropriate in sloped areas exceeding 10 percent, except in larger subdivisions or master planned developments where sloped areas can be avoided, or the units are otherwise designed to be compatible with natural breaks in the hillside terrain. Allowable net densities for Urban Residential - High A are 15-30 DU/Acre. Section 3.05.B of the Interim Zoning Ordinance shall be referenced for applicable design, development, permitting and use standards.
F. Urban Residential – High B (UR-B) Overlay Zone: The Urban Residential - High B zone provides for high‐ density, multi‐family development served by a full range of urban services and accessed via public roads. Types of acceptable residential housing products may include condominiums, townhomes, apartments, and live/work units, in addition to limited retail and commercial service uses that are compatible with and support residents. This classification is not appropriate in sloped areas exceeding 10 percent, except in larger subdivisions or master planned developments where sloped areas can be avoided, or the units are otherwise designed to be compatible with natural breaks in the hillside terrain. Allowable net densities for Urban Residential High B are 10-20 DU/Acre. Section 3.05.B of the Interim Zoning Ordinance shall be referenced for applicable design, development, permitting and use standards.
G. Commercial (C) Overlay Zone: The Commercial zone comprises most of the retail and service business development within the city, which receives a full range of services and is accessed via public roads. This classification is generally automobile oriented; however, development should have interconnected parking lots and connected pedestrian walkways to minimize traffic congestion on adjacent streets, and development should maximize connectivity for all forms of transportation. Commercial land uses, defined specifically by the interim zoning ordinance, can include general retail, restaurants, personal services, offices, hotels, shopping centers, and other similar uses. This classification is not appropriate in higher sloped areas unless specifically designed 53 5
CHAPTER 2 - INTERIM ZONING DISTRICTS OF THE CITY OF SHASTA LAKE INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE to be compatible with natural breaks in the hillside terrain and to appropriately address drainage and potential erosion impacts. The maximum allowed Floor Area Ration (FAR) for the Commercial land use classification is 2.0. Title-17 “Zoning” of the Municipal Code shall be referenced for applicable base zoning development and use standards. Section 3.05.C of the Interim Zoning Ordinance shall be referenced for applicable design, development, permitting and use standards.
H. Mixed Use (MU) Overlay Zone: The Mixed-Use zone provides for residential, commercial, limited light industrial, and recreation uses that are integrated into a comprehensively planned land use design, incorporating a range of residential uses, commercial services, public facilities, and utilities which are accessed by public roads. A major goal of this development pattern is to make it convenient for residents and employees to travel by transit, bicycle, foot, or automobile, to aid in reducing overall vehicle miles traveled. Publicly dedicated open space is encouraged within this district, and consistent with General Plan policies, may be a requirement for entitlement of largescale projects.
Development projects in the MU overlay zone will result in the development of mixed-use neighborhoods typically 10 acres or larger in size. Access to transit should be integrated into developments, ideally providing a transit option within one-quarter mile of residences and/or commercial services. The design, configuration, and mix of uses should provide an alternative to traditional suburban development patterns by promoting development of pedestrian-oriented environments and support the provision of multimodal transportation options.
Mixed-use development includes a balanced blend of commercial use types that provide services to surrounding residential areas. This development type mixes residential housing products, as well as retail and commercial uses, office, open space, and appropriate light industrial uses by effectively addressing health, safety, and compatibility concerns for residential uses, and the provision of adequate public areas including parks and other amenities. This classification is not appropriate in higher sloped areas (10% and above) and all development proposals, including subdivision and residential developments, must be found to be consistent with the intent of the Mixed-Use classification as reflected in the General Plan. Approval of a Planned Development Plan for projects exceeding two (2) acres in size shall be required for significant development proposals. Although not all properties identified within the Mixed-Use zone will be part of an integrated development, proposed projects must demonstrate that the project can functionally relate to adjacent properties consistent with the intent of this designation.
Mixed-Use development is also encouraged in areas outside this overlay zoning classification when consistent with the General Plan land use designation. Approval of mixed-use developments in these areas requiresthat the concentration of uses be designed to effectively encourage pedestrian activity, on-site vehicle circulation, and compatibility of uses. Specific application and development requirements in this zone include those development standards and design requirements established in Chapter 3 of this ordinance for the Mixed-Use zoning overlay district.
The allowed residential density in the Mixed-Use zone is 1 to 30 DU/Acre, and the maximum allowed commercial FAR (floor-area ratio) is 1.0. Section 3.05.E of the Interim Zoning Ordinance shall be referenced for applicable design, development, permitting and use standards.
I. Village Mixed Use (VMU) Overlay Zone: Village Mixed‐Use serves as primary nodes of both pedestrian and automobile activity that encourages a mix of commercial and residential uses with a full range of City services. This area has a traditional “Main Street” feel conducive to a high volume of street activity with street‐oriented buildings and a range of street-level commercial retail and 54 6
CHAPTER 2 - INTERIM ZONING DISTRICTS OF THE CITY OF SHASTA LAKE INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE service uses. Accessed via public roads, mixed-use development in this district is pedestrian oriented and can include a combination of residential, office, and commercial uses in the same building or within proximity to each other. The Village Mixed Use overlay zone supports opportunities for diverse housing, bicycle and pedestrian‐friendly destinations. Public open space dedications are encouraged. This classification is not appropriate in areas with slopes exceeding 10%.
Allowed residential densities will range from 6-30 DU/Acre, and the maximum allowed FAR for the Village Mixed-Use District is 3.0. See Section 3.05.E, including § 3.05.E.50 “Mixed-Use development site design and development standards” of this ordinance, and Title -17 of the Municipal Code, for applicable design, development, permitting and use standards.
J. Light Industrial (I-L) Overlay Zone: This zone is equivalent to the “Industrial-Light” General Plan land use designation. The Light Industrial overlay zone provides opportunities for light industrial and heavy commercial uses, with access to city services and public roads, generally located in a planned industrial park setting. Light industrial uses, such as research and development, warehousing, wholesale distribution, minor manufacturing and assembling, may co‐locate with office and supportive commercial uses in a campus-like setting. The zone provides areas for businesses that have limited potential to create significant adverse visual, noise, odor, or other negative impacts to adjoining public and residential properties.
The Light Industrial overlay zone is a district that may serve as a transitional land use zone from more intensive uses and/ or high-volume roadways with the intent of reducing negative impacts to residential property uses. Neighborhood serving retail and food service uses, which do not exceed 2,500 square feet in floor area, and which support surrounding employment centers, are allowed subject to appropriate site design and permitting. Uses characterized by primary outdoor processing and/or storage are not appropriate without effective screening. Activities in this zone typically occur within an enclosed building and do not generate significant external noise, odors, vibrations, glare, or dust. Section 3.05.D of the Interim Zoning Ordinance, and Title -17 of the Municipal Code, shall be referenced for applicable design, development, permitting and use standards. This classification is not appropriate in higher sloped areas exceeding 20% unless designed to be compatible with natural breaks in the hillside terrain, if designed to mitigate drainage and erosion impacts. The maximum allowed FAR for the Light Industrial zone is 1.0.
K. Industrial (I) Overlay Zone: The Industrial zone provides a full range of City services for industrial uses and is generally accessed via public roads. This classification includes uses such as light or heavy manufacturing, warehousing, production, logistics and distribution, materials processing, and agriculture, including cannabis businesses. Provides areas for the broadest range of industrial uses, including those needing significant outdoor processing or storage. These uses may require large areas for outdoor operations or storage and may generate impacts to surrounding parcels and uses from excess noise, vibrations, light glare, dust, and emissions. Localserving retail and food service uses, which typically do not exceed 2,500 square feet in floor area that provide support to surrounding employment centers are permissible.
This classification is not appropriate in sloped areas above 10% unless designed to be compatible with natural breaks in the hillside terrain, and to mitigate drainage and erosion impacts. The maximum allowed FAR for Industrial uses shall not exceed 1.0 FAR. Section 3.05.D of the Interim Zoning Ordinance, and applicable base districts of Title - 17 of the Municipal Code, shall be referenced for applicable design, development, permitting and use standards. 55 7
CHAPTER 2 - INTERIM ZONING DISTRICTS OF THE CITY OF SHASTA LAKE INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE L. Public Facilities (PF) Overlay Zone: The Public Facilities zone district is intended for public and quasi-public facilities, including uses such as government services and facilities, fire stations, wastewater treatment facilities, electrical substations, domestic water treatment and storage, landfills, and similar public serving uses. It is also appropriate for institutional uses, such as schools and accredited secondary educational facilities, hospitals, and cemeteries, as well as lands controlled by philanthropic and nonprofit organizations providing community services. This classification may accessthe full range of City services, is generally accessed via publicly maintained roads, and is not appropriate in higher sloped areas (above 10%) unless developed for open space, dispersed recreation, or when designed to be compatible with natural breaks in the hillside terrain, incorporating mitigation for potential drainage and erosion impacts. Specific application and development requirements in this zone include the following:
i. Public facility sites that occupy less than two (2) acres in area are permissible in all zoning districts, subject to the requirements of this ordinance. ii. A use permit is required for public facilities larger than 25,000 square feet in size, unless an alternative permit standard is established by the interim zoning district in which the property is located. Section 3.05.D of the Interim Zoning Ordinance, and Title-17 of the Municipal Code, shall be referenced for applicable design, development, permitting and use standards. iii. Site development standards shall be as specified by the required engineering, applicable permit, and this ordinance.
iv. Public facilities shall be designated on the interim zoning overlay map as "PF." Facilities less than 2 acres in size need not be so designated.
Section 3.05.F of the Interim Zoning Ordinance and applicable base districts of Title - 17 of the Municipal Code shall be referenced for applicable design, development, permitting and use standards.
M. Community Park and Improved Open Space (P-IOS) Overlay Zone: The Parks and Improved Open Space zone provides community recreation facilities that may or may not receive full City services.
This can include open space, play areas, ball fields, children’s play equipment, community gardens, public golf courses, and other uses related to providing recreation opportunities for the public on publicly controlled lands. Existing parks in Shasta Lake include Clair Engle Park, Margaret Polk Park, Boomtown BMX, Bizz Johnson Ballpark, Wynne Price Park and Baseball Field, Akard Park, Shasta Park, and Blue Canyon Park. Section 3.05.F of the Interim Zoning Ordinance and applicable base districts of Title -17 of the Municipal Code shall be referenced for applicable design, development, permitting and use standards.
N. Open Space (OS) Overlay Zone: The Open Space zone is comprised of lands and natural areas that are important local resources and serve as places in which flora and fauna can exist in a natural state. City services are limited or nonexistent within this classification and direct access via public roadways is often constrained by topography or private ownership. These areas provide environmental relief from urbanization, buffer land use activities and transportation routes, are an important visual and recreational resource, and can become part of the City’s urban trail system.
Management of these areas in high-fire hazard zones, or in areas proximal to existing or planned development will include management for both resource values and fire fuels. Section 3.05.F of the Interim Zoning Ordinance and applicable base districts of Title -17 of the Municipal Code shall be referenced for applicable design, development, permitting and use standards.
O. Natural Resources (NR) Overlay Zone: The Natural Resource Overlay zone provides for the protection of significant wildlife habitat resources within the city limits. These areas can be 56 8
CHAPTER 2 - INTERIM ZONING DISTRICTS OF THE CITY OF SHASTA LAKE INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE important for maintaining natural ecosystems, such as floodplains, riparian areas, and sensitive habitats. Vegetation management within the Natural Resource Overlay zone is also important for fire fuel reduction, fire safety protection, and invasive species management, which are addressed in detail in the Safety, Conservation, and Open Space Elements of the General Plan. The Natural Resource Overlay zone incorporates areas of FEMA’s 100-year floodplain, data from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (USFWS) National Wetlands Inventory (NWI), the state designated Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, and areas of high and extreme slope (slopes exceeding 20 percent).
This overlay district may be combined with any interim zoning overlay or base zoning district.
Limited transfer of development rights from areas encumbered by environmental constraints or natural hazards may be allowed to protect private property rights. The minimum lot size is twenty (20) acres in this district. If applied as a greenbelt or buffer, the lot size shall be as shown on a recorded parcel or final map, use permit development plan, specific plan, planned development plan.
Natural Resource Overlay zoning does not restrict all property development. Rather, it reflects the presence of federal and state development regulations set forth by FEMA, USFWS, and CDF to protect property owners from hazards such as flood damage and high wildland fire risks, and to protect natural habitats. It indicates the presence of applicable City limitations to development in natural resource and wildland areas. The limits of development on any property within this overlay must be determined by a qualified, licensed professional. In addition, these areas may provide protection to property from slope failure and erosion, therefore reducing siltation in local tributaries from excessive grading. Management of these areas in high-fire hazard zones, or in areas near planned developments, will include management for both resource values and fire fuels.
The Development Services Director, as the floodplain administrator for the City, determines if new construction must meet FEMA flood zone construction criteria and performs Flood Zone determinations. Transfer of development potential from identified hazardous areas may be accomplished with the approval of the Planning Commission or City Council, when considered as part of a subdivision or planned development entitlement. Section 3.05.F of the Interim Zoning Ordinance and applicable base districts of Title -17 of the Municipal Code shall be referenced for design requirements, development standards, and permitting and use standards.
P. Planned Development Zone (PD): The purpose of the Planned Development (PD) district overlay is to provide for developments that, because of a mix of building types, land uses or residential lot sizes, may not fit within the parameter of the underlying zone district. Planned developments are under unified control, comprehensively designed and planned, and may provide for a mix of uses that could otherwise create land use conflicts. Planned developments often provide common areas and other amenities not normally found in standard types of development. This district is consistent with all General Plan land use designations that provide for substantial residential, commercial or industrial development, consistent with the General Plan designation(s) within which the project is located. Section 3.05.F of the Interim Zoning Ordinance, and the applicable base districts of Title - 17 of the Municipal Code shall be referenced for applicable design, development, permitting and use standards.
2.05 Interim Zoning Overlay Map and Base Zoning District – Relationship.
Exhibit 1 to this ordinance is titled the “Interim Zoning Overlay Map” (Map). The Map identifies the adopted boundaries of the interim zoning districts as described in this Chapter (Section 2.03). All land in the city is subject to an interim zoning designation as reflected on the interim zoning overlay map. All land in the city 57 9
CHAPTER 2 - INTERIM ZONING DISTRICTS OF THE CITY OF SHASTA LAKE INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE shall also continue to be subject to the provisions of Title - 17 Zoning. Where a properties base zoning district conflicts with a properties land use designation as reflected on the 2040 General Plan Land Use Diagram, the General Plan Land Use Diagram and related interim zoning designation shall govern.
2.06 Interim Zoning District and Base Zoning District - Compatibility.
Any base zoning district established in Title-17 of the Municipal Code which complies with the purposes, allowable uses, and the intensity and/or density limits of the applicable interim zoning overlay district shall be considered a compatible base district.
A. All land subject to an interim zone designation as reflected on the Interim Zoning Overlay Map (Exhibit 1), also remains subject to Title-17 Zoning standards and the requirements of the base zoning district, except where the standards, requirements, and density or intensity of development are modified by the applicable Interim Zoning Overlay District.
B. Where the boundaries of a base (Title-17) zoning district have been modified by the adopted Land Use Diagram of the General Plan, the applicable General Plan Interim Zoning Overlay District standards, allowable uses and permitting requirements shall modify the base zoning district requirements applicable to the property.

CHAPTER 3 – INTERIM ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS OF THE CITY OF SHASTA LAKE CHAPTER 3 – INTERIM ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
3.01 Purpose of Chapter 3
Chapter 3 establishes land use, development and design regulations for the General Plan Land Use Districts Overlay Zones, and identifies the provisions of Title – 17 “Zoning” of the Municipal Code which have been modified where necessary to be consistent with the direction in the General Plan and recent changes in state law until such time as a new comprehensive Zoning Ordinance is adopted. If not documented in this ordinance, there are no modifications of the base zoning district development standards, or permitting provisions of Title – 17 “Zoning” of the Municipal Code, and the existing provisions of Title – 17 shall apply in the manner as set forth in Title-17.
3.02 Applicability of Title-17 “Zoning” of the Shasta Lake Municipal Code.
Unless specifically modified by this ordinance or existing land use entitlement, all Title-17 zoning districts shall be considered “base” (or “sub-area”) zoning districts and shall be subordinate to the Interim Zoning Districts reflected in Section 3.05. A through F of this ordinance. Where the contents of this ordinance conflict with the provisions of Title-17 “Zoning” of the Shasta Lake Municipal Code, the provisions of this ordinance shall govern.
Zoning regulations and special use provisions of the base zoning districts which exist at the time of adoption of the Interim Zoning Ordinance and which are not modified by the provisions of the Interim Zoning Ordinance shall remain applicable to project review and approval.
3.03 Uses permitted, conditionally permitted, and prohibited.
The following use and permitting provisions shall govern the review and approval of all projects which are subject to this ordinance:
A. Permitting requirements for all uses are established in the “schedules of permitted and conditionally permitted uses” in each interim zoning overlay district (see Section 3.05). The permitting requirements and limitations of a use as reflected in the applicable schedules are described below:
i. Permitted uses are indicated by a “P” in the schedules of permitted and conditionally permitted uses. Permitted uses are allowable uses that may be commenced following issuance of a “zoning clearance” by the Director. A zoning clearance assures a property owner that the use of a site or structure is allowed land use within the applicable interim zoning district. In the case of new construction, the zoning clearance also ensures that the development complies with the development standards, performance criteria, and any guidelines applicable to the land use or the zoning district of the site.
ii. Uses which require minor discretionary review and approval by the Development Services Director are indicated by an “A” in the schedules of permitted and conditionally permitted uses.
Administrative permits are intended to expedite permit processing for certain activities, development types, or uses which have been determined to have a limited potential for negative impacts to surrounding uses or properties; and which because of their nature or scale may have a potential to create land use conflicts or environmental impacts. Administrative permits are typically subject to environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act.
Administrative approvals shall be reviewed and granted pursuant to Section 17.92.050 of the Municipal Code. If an administrative permit is approved, conditions may be placed on the permit to ensure that the intent of the approval is achieved, and as may be necessary to mitigate or eliminate adverse impacts of the use or project on surrounding properties, residents, businesses, or the public.
61 3
CHAPTER 3 – INTERIM ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS OF THE CITY OF SHASTA LAKE iii. Conditionally permitted uses are uses which are conditional and must be approved by the Planning Commission. Such uses are indicated by a “U” in the schedule of uses for a zoning district. Use permits are typically subject to environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act and shall be reviewed and permitted pursuant to Section 17.92.020 of the Municipal Code. If a use permit is approved, conditions may be placed on the permit to ensure that the intent of the approval is achieved and/or as may be necessary to mitigate or eliminate adverse impacts of the use or project on surrounding properties, residents, businesses, or the public. iv. Site development permits are indicated by an “S” in the schedule of uses for a zoning district. Site development permits (SDP) are processed and approved by the Director. An SDP is a ministerial approval that requires only review for compliance with the objective design and development standards of the Municipal Code and the Interim Zoning Ordinance. The review process involves limited personal or subjective judgment by the approving authority and does not require public notice. Design and development standards are "objective" if they are measurable, verifiable, and knowable to all parties prior to project submittal. Site development permits are typically exempt from environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act. The Director shall make available to the public the application forms and other materials necessary to allow for the submittal and review of site development permits. The Director shall act on site development permits within 30 days of receipt of a complete application. When necessary to complete the project review and issuance of a site development permit, the Director may approve the permit with the requirement to comply with specific objective design and development requirements of the municipal code and this ordinance at the time of building permit submittal. v. “Prohibited” uses are not permitted in a district and are indicated by an “-” in the applicable schedule of uses.
vi. An “L” designation in the schedule of uses for a zoning district identifies a specific development limitation. An “L” designation is sometimes followed by a number which refers to a numbered list of criteria or permit requirements listed in the applicable schedule of allowable uses table.
B. Any use requiring a permit l shall be reviewed and any necessary permits granted, pursuant to the requirements of Chapter 17.92 - Applications and Procedures of the Shasta Lake Municipal Code, and Section 3.04 of this ordinance. Where a use is not specifically defined, the Director shall determine the most appropriate use classification as set forth in §17.94.030 of the Municipal Code. At the discretion of the Director use determinations may be forwarded to the Planning Commission for consideration and action. Alternately, the determination of the Director may be appealed to the Planning Commission as set forth in subsection C of §17.94.060 of the Municipal Code.
C. Permitted uses requiring a zoning clearance pursuant to the requirements of Section 3.03.A.i of this ordinance shall obtain such zoning clearance prior to the commencement of the use.
D. Any project requesting approval of a Minor Exception or Variance shall be reviewed pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 17. 92 of Title -17 “Zoning”.
E. Permit processing and project review processes shall proceed as set forth in this ordinance. When this ordinance is silent on any processing requirements or project related development standards, the provisions of the base zoning district of Title -17 “Zoning” of the Municipal Code shall apply. 62 4

3.04 Application Processing, Permitting Standards, and Required Findings A. Application Processing. All permits and entitlements as may be required by this Interim Zoning Ordinance and Title – 17 of the Shasta Lake Municipal Code including but not limited to Use Permits, Administrative Permits, Site Development Permits, Variances, Minor Exceptions, and Design Review approvals, are subject to the following findings, except in those circumstances where such findings are inapplicable given the type of project (example: sign permits and similar approvals). The approving authority for the entitlement shall determine the following findings to be in the affirmative prior to issuance of the permit or other entitlement(s).
1. Consistency with Zoning. The proposed use is permissible within the applicable interim zoning district, and complies with the applicable provisions of the Interim Zoning Ordinance and the Municipal Code.
2. Consistency with General Plan. The proposed use is consistent with the 2040 General Plan, and its approval will not preclude successful implementation of the Plan.
3. Surrounding Uses. The project design, location, and operating characteristics, as conditioned, will be compatible with the existing and planned land uses in the vicinity.
4. Appropriate Scale. The project, as conditioned, will be physically suitable for the type, density and intensity of use being proposed.
5. Health and Safety. Granting the permit will not be injurious or detrimental to the public health, safety, convenience, or general welfare, or materially injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity or in the zoning district in which the property is located.
3.05 Development and use regulations applying in some, or all districts.

CHAPTER 3 – INTERIM ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS OF THE CITY OF SHASTA LAKE
3.14 Administration and Enforcement
Except where modified by this ordinance, the administrative and enforcement procedures and provisions of Chapter 17.94 “Administration and Enforcement” of the Municipal Code shall apply in all respects to new or existing uses, and development of property.
3.15 Environmental Review – 2040 General Plan Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (EIR) All applications for development entitlement shall be reviewed for conformity with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq. The certified environmental impact report (EIR) for the General Plan shall serve as the base environmental document for all entitlement approvals within the corporate limits of the city. The Directorshall determine the appropriate level of environmental review for all projects following submittal of a complete development application. In addition, the approving authority shall consider whether there are previously identified significant effects which because of substantial new information which was not known at the time the General Plan EIR was certified, are determined to have a more severe impact than discussed in the General Plan EIR or other applicable environmental analysis.
The rules governing the extent of any future environmental review are set forth in Sections 15183 and 15183.5 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Under this section of the State CEQA Guidelines, projects that are consistent with the development density or intensity established by existing zoning, community plan or General Plan policies for which an EIR was certified shall not require additional environmental review, except where necessary to examine whether there are project-specific potentially significant environmental effects which are particular to the proposed project or development site.
Environmental review shall consider a project’s potentially significant environmental effects that were not analyzed in the General Plan EIR. If there are potentially significant on- or off-site impacts and/or cumulative impacts which were not analyzed in the General Plan EIR, they shall be analyzed in the environmental document for the project.

EXHIBIT 2
67 Appendix A – Interim Zoning Ordinance.
1 SECTION 1.03 “DEFINITIONS AND TERMS OF REFERENCE.”
Accessory use or activity: An accessory use or activity is a use that is clearly incidental to, and customarily found in connection with, the principal use. An accessory use must be conducted on the same zoning lot as the principal use to which it is related, unless the district regulations permit another location for the accessory use (example:
Off-site accessory parking facilities, for example, are permitted in certain zoning districts).
Allowable (Permissible) Use: A use of land or activity which is permitted within a zoning district subject to specified permitting, property development, design and performance standards.
Approving Authority: Means the individual, agency, board, department, or official that is authorized by law to administer and enforce specified requirements of this ordinance and the Municipal Code.
Base Zone(s) (or sub-area): Refers to the zoning districts established in Title-17 “Zoning” of the Shasta Lake Municipal Code. These zoning districts are also depicted on the City of Shasta Lake Zoning Map, as identified in Title – 17 of the Municipal Code.
Cluster development: Residential or commercial cluster development is a form of land development in which principal buildings and structures are grouped together on a site, with the purpose of saving the remaining land area for open space, conservation, habitat protection, recreation, or public and semipublic uses. Clustering of development may involve the transfer of development rights from one location to another within the same property.
Citations: Beginning with “17” refer to Title-17 “Zoning” of the Shasta Lake Municipal Code, including any amendments which may be made thereto following adoption of this ordinance.
Development right: Development rights generally refer to the maximum amount of floor area or number of residential dwelling units permissible on a lot. When the actual built floor area is less than the maximum permitted floor area, the difference is referred to as “unused development rights.” Density: Density refers to the maximum number of residential dwelling units permitted on a lot. Special density regulations may apply to mixed use buildings that contain both residential and commercial uses.
Director: Refers to the Director of Development Services, or their appointed designee, unless otherwise identified in the Interim Zoning Ordinance.
Environmental review: Pursuant to state law, the environmental review process identifies and assesses the potential environmental impacts of discretionary actions that are proposed by public or private applicants. A discretionary action or entitlement, such as a use permit, cannot begin public review until the applicable environmental review process as may be required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) has been completed.
“Express Conflict”: Refers to a use, permit, entitlement, authorization, or other action or determination which conflicts with the 2040 General Plan purpose, vision statement, goals, policies, programs, implementation measures, and appendices and attachments.
General Plan: Refers to the 2040 City of Shasta Lake General Plan Update, and includes any amendments made thereto.
68 Appendix A – Interim Zoning Ordinance.
2 Interim Zoning Ordinance: Refers to this ordinance, and any amendments thereto, which may be made following its adoption.
Interim Zone(s): Refers to the interim zoning districts described in and established by this ordinance. These zones reflect the boundaries of the General Plan Land Use Districts as reflected on the General Plan Land Use Diagram.
Municipal Code: Refers to the City of Shasta Lake Municipal Code in its entirety, and as may be amended from time to time.
Numerical References: Numerical references beginning with “1” through “3” in the Interim Zoning Ordinance refer to the chapters and sections of this ordinance, unless otherwise noted.
Permitted-by-right development: A permitted-by-right development complies with all applicable zoning regulations and does not require any discretionary action by the Director, Planning Commission or City Council.
By-right development is determined by the director based on the provisions of the Interim Zoning Ordinance and/or Title-17 “Zoning” of the municipal code, and is documented via a “zoning clearance.” Objective design standards (ODS): Objective design (and development) standards are defined in Government Code Sections 65913.4 and 66300(a)(7) as standards that involve no personal or subjective judgment by a public official and are uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant or proponent and the public official before submittal. Objective design standards may include requirements of the General Plan, specific plans, Title-17 Zoning, standards from an applicable overlay zone district, subdivision requirements, and landscaping and other land development regulations.
Shasta Lake Fire Protection District (SLFPD): A special district providing fire protection and other services to the residents and properties within the city limits, and to adjacent property. Fire protection districts follow Health and Safety Code sections 13800-13970. Their boards of directors are elected by vote of district residents at regular biennial general elections unless the district has chosen to be appointed, per the process outlined in HSC section 13848.
Transfer of Development Right A transfer of development rights (TDR) allows for the transfer of development rights in limited circumstances within the same property or project area, usually to promote the preservation or protection of environmentally sensitive areas.
Zoning Clearance: A zoning clearance assures a property owner that the use of a site or structure is an allowed land use within the applicable zoning district. In the case of new construction, the zoning clearance also ensures that the development complies with the development standards, performance criteria, and any guidelines applicable to the land use or the zoning district(s) of the site.
Zoning Ordinance: Refers to Title-17 “Zoning” of the Shasta Lake Municipal Code as it existed on the date of adoption of this ordinance, and including any amendments made to Title-17 prior to, and following, adoption of this ordinance.

3.05.E.50 Mixed-Use development site design and development standards.
A. Use of Mixed-Use Standards.
Conflicts that may result from the intermixing of land uses shall be addressed by site-specific performance and development standards adopted via a discretionary land use entitlement.
1. The adopted standards and permitting requirements as established in the Interim Zoning Ordinance and Title - 17 shall apply. Commercial development shall be subject to the intensity standards as set forth in Chapter 2 of this ordinance.
2. Mixed-use developments of two-acres or less in size may be approved in any base district where the mixed-use project is consistent with implementation of the General Plan goals and policies.
The project must comply with the standards for residential density and commercial intensity of land use of the applicable General Plan Land Use District or the base zoning district, whichever is more restrictive.
3. Mixed-use development projects located in the General Plan Mixed-Use and Village Mixed-Use Interim Land Use Zoning Overlay District shall be subject to the permitting and development standards of Chapter 17.54 “Mixed-Use” (MU) and Chapter 17.41 “Village Commercial” of the Municipal Code.
B. Mixed Use site design, development and performance standards required to achieve desired urban form.
All new development shall comply with the intent and direction set forth in Chapter 17.84 – General Design Standards of the Municipal Code, except as may be modified by the following provisions.
1. Building Frontage. Building frontages should help visually frame the project site, the sidewalk and the street. On corner lots, the building shall help visually anchor the intersection through its height and mass. The primary façade of the building shall face the primary street.
2. Site Access. Appropriate access management shall be used to ensure the planning, design and implementation of land use and transportation strategies at the project level is designed to maintain pedestrian priority and a safe flow of traffic, while also accommodating interior property access to future development on adjacent properties.
a. Vehicle Entries. To maintain a continuous building frontage, vehicle access to and from off-street parking areas shall be provided off a secondary street frontage or an alley where feasible.

Interim Zoning Ordinance
b. Minimum driveway separation between driveways and street intersections. Site access from adjacent streets shall not be located within 150 feet of a street intersection or within 50 feet of an adjacent driveway. Driveway connections to public roadways are subject to the same intersection control analyses as are street intersections, and the approval of the City Engineer. For a driveway upstream of or approaching a signalized location on a state highway, or collector, the functional area includes the perception-reaction time, maneuver distance, and storage length of the traffic on the street approach. The spacing must provide separation between the conflicting movements occurring at the intersection and the conflicting movements occurring at the driveway. In no case shall ingress/egress to a site be located closer than 50 feet of a controlled intersection or adjacent driveway. c. Limits to driveway access – commercial and industrial uses. No more than two primary commercial or industrial use driveway access points are permitted along a street frontage of 200 feet or less. One additional driveway access point is permitted for property frontages greater than 300 feet in length. Modifications to this standard by the approving authority may be permitted with the approval of the City Engineer. d. Clear sight triangle. A minimum 10-foot clear sight triangle commencing at the back of sidewalk shall be established at all intersections and points of ingress/egress from a development site on to a public street or alley. Within the sight triangle no structure or other potential visual obstructions shall exceed 30 inches in height.
3. Building Transparency: A visual connection between the street and the interior building spaces shall be provided along street frontages. Exterior walls facing and within 30 feet of a street front property line shall include windows, doors, or other openings. In addition, the following requirements shall apply:
a. No building wall visible from a public street may extend in a continuous plane for more than 50 feet without a window, public door, storefront opening, or other approved architectural feature.
b. Street facing facades of each floor above the first floor of a multiple story building shall have an overall wall composition of at least 25 percent glazing or alternative design solution.
120
Appendix F – Interim Zoning Ordinance.
Interim Zoning Ordinance
c. For ground floor street facing facades occupied by commercial uses, exterior walls facing a front or street side lot line shall include windows, doors, storefront or other openings with transparent glazing for at least 50 percent of the building wall.
4. Architectural Design. All new development shall comply with the intent and direction set forth in Chapter 17.84 – General Design Standards, of the Municipal Code. Building architectural design shall be appropriate to the location in terms of building scale, massing, and shape. Buildings shall present an attractive appearance to public streets, be aesthetically and functionally compatible to the nearby development. Design features and elements may include articulated facades, projections, and recessed entryways.
5. Pedestrian Access. Unless an alternative design is approved by the approving authority, the new development shall comply with the following standards.
a. Commercial sidewalk connections an interface between the building and public sidewalk shall provide support for a high level of pedestrian activity. Direct entrances into ground - floor commercial establishments, which abut street right-of-way at a minimum rate of one entrance per 100 feet of linear street frontage is required. b. Residential sidewalk connections. Provide entrances for individual ground-floor dwelling units adjacent to streets at no less than one per 100 feet of linear street frontage. c. Common area sidewalk connection. When common entrances provide access into a multifamily development site, such entrances shall be distinguished from entrances into individual dwellings utilizing landscaping or architectural features. d. Building entrances shall be weather protected by a portico, canopy, or alcove of no less than four feet in depth.
6. Connectivity. To the extent practicable given existing property configuration, new mixed-use development shall be designed to allow cross lot access for internal pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular circulation systems. Easements shall be used to assist in defining maintenance and utility responsibilities when necessary. In order to allow for future internal connection points a conceptual plan that outlines circulation, access, shared parking, maintenance responsibilities, and utility easements shall be required. The circulation plan must assist in achieving the following connectivity goals:
i. Providing defined pedestrian routes between parking areas and the primary pedestrian entrance(s) to the building(s). Shared parking arrangements between adjacent properties are encouraged.
ii. Creating opportunities to encourage walking and biking between residential areas, site amenities, commercial services, and transit facilities. iii. Providing a concept plan that will facilitate future uses and development that will assist in achieving the goals of the General Plan relative to connectivity and circulation.
7. Transitions in scale, density affecting adjacent residential development. New commercial development shall be designed to appropriately transition to surrounding residential development. Appropriate transitions in height and mass may be required in design and site plan review where higher intensity commercial or residential development is adjacent to lower-density residential uses. Techniques for improving compatibility include the following:
121
Appendix F – Interim Zoning Ordinance.
Interim Zoning Ordinance
a. Transitions in scale, density, and uses should occur within the development site, rather than across streets;
b. Placing the least intensive part of a development along the adjoining perimeter of a lower intensity development;
c. Incorporating structure height step-backs where different building heights adjoin, adding compatible elements such as porches, balconies, or decks, and separating outdoor commercial activity areas from adjacent residential development; d. Providing additional screening for parking and mechanical equipment; and placing additional controls on lighting such as full cutoff shielding; and/or e. Ensuring careful placement of windows, entries and other physical improvements to minimize noise and light impacts, and by utilizing landscaping to help buffer higher intensity uses from lower intensity residential uses.
8. Land use density and intensity determinations applying in all districts. This ordinance provides for increases in density beyond those established in the applicable base zoning district of a property under specified circumstances, subject to approval of a discretionary land use entitlement. In no case can the maximum density or intensity standards of the applicable Interim Zoning District affecting the property be exceeded.
The number of dwelling units permitted on any property shall be computed by deducting areas of slopes over 20 percent (20%) and any areas subject to flooding from a 100-year-storm event (as established by FEMA or other flood studies acceptable to the City), and multiplying the remainder (gross developable acreage) by the density of the applicable interim zoning district.
Chapter 2 of this ordinance establishes the maximum density or intensity of development permitted in each interim zoning overlay district. That density or intensity of development is expressed in the maximum number of dwelling units per acre, or maximum floor area, permitted based on the gross area of the projectsite or property. Increases over the base density or intensity as established in Title-17 in the applicable base zoning district shall be allowed only when the project will satisfy the following:
A. The Planning Commission determines that the project will provide design elements beyond those minimum standards as reflected in the applicable base zoning district, including pedestrian and community amenities which provide benefit to public and residents.
B. For properties located in the Suburban Residential (SR) and Urban Residential (UR, UR-A and -B) zoning districts, the base density may be adjusted within the given range allowed by the General Plan. To attain the maximum allowable density, a project must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the approving authority that the increased density is acceptable considering site constraints and land use compatibility issues affecting the property including site topography, potentially hazardous conditions, the adequacy of public-street access, availability of utilities, and neighborhood characteristics including but not limited to the average density of surrounding development located within 300 feet of the parcel boundary.
C. Projects which provide affordable housing as defined in state law shall be eligible for the maximum density allowed by the applicable General Plan land use district without obligation to subsections A and B, above.

Interim Zoning Ordinance
3.05.F - LAND USE REGULATIONS for GENERAL PLAN OVERLAY ZONES INCLUDING PUBLIC FACILITY, OPEN
SPACE, FLOOD HAZARD, PARK AND IMPROVED OPEN SPACE, NATURAL RESOURCES, AND PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS.
3.05.F.10 Purpose and application of ordinance provisions.
The purpose of the following geographic zoning overlay districts is to implement specified additional development standards and regulations. These overlay zones may be applied in conjunction with, or separately from, the underlying zoning overlay district assigned to a property. (A) The following overlay zones provide for the purposes as specified below:
1. Natural Resources Overlay: This district provides for the protection of natural resources. The Natural Resource Overlay areas do not restrict all property development. It may indicate the presence of state and/or federal development regulations set forth to protect property owners from flood damage and to protect natural habitats, and generally indicates the presence of limitations to development in natural resource or environmentally sensitive areas. These areas may provide protection to property from slope failure, erosion, fire, and other natural hazards.
Management of these areas in high-fire hazard zones, or in areas near existing or planned development, will include management for both resource values and natural hazards. The Natural Resource Overlay zone is also important for other natural resource management purposes, which are addressed in the Safety, Conservation, and Open Space Elements of the General Plan.
Due to the widespread nature of natural resources in the city, this overlay is established by a separate stand-alone “Interim Natural Resources Zoning Overlay Map.” This overlay district is implemented through application of the base district standards established in Title-17, including but not limited to Chapter 17.12 - MINERAL RESOURCE (MR) DISTRICT; Chapter 17.14 - HABITAT PROTECTION (HP) DISTRICT; Chapter 17.16 - OPEN SPACE (OS) DISTRICT; Chapter 17.62 - PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (PD) DISTRICT of the municipal code.
2. Public Facilities Overlay: The Public Facilities district is intended for identification of public and quasi-public facilities, including, but not limited to, government services and facilities, fire and police stations, wastewater treatment facilities, electrical substations, domestic water treatment and storage, landfills, and similar uses. It is also may institutionally uses, such as schools and accredited secondary educational facilities, hospitals, and cemeteries, as well as appropriate lands controlled by philanthropic and nonprofit organizations for existing or future public uses. The Interim Zoning Overlay Map may not depict public facility sites that occupy less than two acres.
This overlay is designated as “PF” on the applicable zoning map.
3. Parks and Improved Open Space Overlay: This land use district overlay classification applies to community recreation facilities that may or may not receive full City services. This may include improved open space, play areas, ball fields, children’s play equipment, community gardens, and public golf courses and similar recreation facilities. This overlay includes the following existing parks in Shasta Lake - Clair Engle Park, Margaret Polk Park, Boomtown BMX, Bizz Johnson Ballpark, Wynne Price Park and Baseball Field, Akard Park, Shasta Park, and Blue Canyon Park. This overlay is depicted on the Interim General Plan Zoning Overlay Map as “P.” The Interim General Plan Zoning Overlay Map may not depict improved open space sites that occupy less than two acres. 124
Appendix G – Interim Zoning Ordinance
Interim Zoning Ordinance
4. Open Space Overlay: The Open Space overlay is comprised of lands and natural areas that are important resources and serve as places in which flora and fauna can exist in a natural state. City services are limited or nonexistent within this classification and direct access via public roadways is often constrained by topography. These areas provide relief from urbanization, buffer various land use activities and transportation routes, are an important visual and recreational resource, and can be part of the City’s urban trail system. Management of these areas in high-fire hazard zones, or in areas proximal to development includes management for both resource values and fire fuels. The Interim General Plan Zoning Overlay Map may not depict open space sites that occupy less than two acres. This overlay district is generally implemented through application of the base district standards established in Title-17, Chapter 17.16 - OPEN SPACE (OS) DISTRICT of the municipal code.
5. Flood Hazard Overlay: The Flood Hazard Overlay district is intended to be combined with any principal or interim zoning overlay district to help minimize or avoid hazards to life and property from flooding in the regulatory flood zone established by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, pursuant to the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, and in other areas of significant flood hazard. These regulations apply in all districts combined with this overlay district, provided that in case of conflict the more restrictive regulations control. This overlay district is generally implemented through application of the base district standards established in Title-17, Chapter
17.22 DESIGNATED FLOODWAY (F-1) DISTRICT or Chapter 17.70 - RESTRICTIVE FLOOD (F-2) DISTRICT of the municipal code.
6. Planned Development Overlay: The purpose of the planned development (PD) district is to provide for comprehensively planned developments that, because of a mix of building types and land uses or lot sizes, does not fit within the parameter of the applicable interim zoning overlay or base zone districts applicable to the property. Planned developments are under unified control, comprehensively planned and may provide a mix of uses that could otherwise result in land use conflicts. This process is used where greater flexibility in design is necessary to provide a more efficient use of land than would be possible through strict application of conventional zone or land use district regulations. An application for rezoning to the "PD" Planned Development Overlay District and/or approval of a Planned Development Plan shall not constitute an application for subdivision. If a subdivision of land is proposed in conjunction with a Planned Development Plan, separate applications, review, and findings shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the Municipal Code.
Planned developments may provide common areas and other amenities not required in standard types of development. The proposed development must carry out the intent of the Planned Development provisions by providing a more efficient use of the land consistent with General Plan goals and includes an excellence of architecture and site design greater than that which could be achieved through the application of the base district regulations. This overlay district is consistent with all zoning designations that provide for residential, commercial, or industrial development, provided the proposed uses are consistent with the General Plan designation(s) within which the project is located. This overlay district is generally implemented through application of the requirements established in Chapter 17.62 - PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (PD) DISTRICT of the municipal code.
(B) The specific limits of development on any property within, or subject to these overlay(s) zones, is determined by the standards of Title-17 and the interim zoning overlay district where the property is located, the purpose of the applicable overlay district described above, and the following provisions:
125
Appendix G – Interim Zoning Ordinance
Interim Zoning Ordinance
1. Allowable uses in the overlay district(s), may include uses permitted outright subject to a zoning clearance, or uses permitted pursuant to another approval type as may be required by the applicable base and/or overlay district(s) and described in Schedule 3.05.F-1. Interim General Plan Zoning Overlay districts are those as established in this ordinance, and are reflected on the General Plan Interim Zoning Overlay Map.

AGENDA ITEM
City Council
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Jessaca Lugo, City Manager
DATE: July 18, 2023
SUBJECT: Supplemental budget appropriation for the preparation of a Uniform Volumetric Water Rate Study, or; Acceptance of the 2023 Water Rate Study Update for the water enterprise fund and authorization to proceed with public notification and setting a public hearing date for the adoption of new water utility rates; or alternate direction.
FILE NO.: W-100-759-911
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff requests that, based on previous direction provided to staff on April 18, 2023, the City Council consider approving a supplemental budget appropriation in the amount of $55,000 to fund the completion of a Uniform Volumetric Water Rate Study.
Alternately, if City Council declines the supplemental appropriation and completion of Uniform Volumetric Water Rate Study, Staff requests City Council adopt a resolution accepting the results of the Water Utility Rate Study Update report completed by PACE Engineering, Inc., direct staff to prepare notification of the proposed rates in accordance with Proposition 218, and to set a public hearing for consideration of adoption of the proposed rates for October 17, 2023.
BACKGROUND
In 2021, the City contracted with PACE Engineering, Inc. (PEI) to perform an update to the 2016 approved water rates. At staff direction, PEI built upon the extensive and City Council-approved Raftelis Financial Consultants (RFC) study to produce the 2023 Water Rate Study Update. This Update provided proposed rate adjustments for the next five years (FY 2023-2024 though FY 2027-2028) for both water meter and consumption costs. As a part of the update, city staff proposed to eliminate rate increases associated with drought stages and to build potential cost increases of wholesale water acquisition for this Study period into the 2023 Water Rate Study Update; as a result, the Drought Rates (rate increases imposed during a State-declared drought) 128
and the Pass-Through Rates (rate increases caused by wholesale water cost increases) that were both contained in the RFC study were to be eliminated from the rate tables.
In April 2023, the PEI update was presented to the City Council. After considerable discussion, City staff was directed by the City Council to investigate having a new water cost of service study completed to determine how to meet the City’s utility revenue requirements utilizing a uniform volumetric water rate with drought rates that could be implemented in drought (allocation cutback) years.
Option 1: Staff has prepared the attached 2023 Uniform Volumetric Water Rate Study scope of work for the proposed Uniform Volumetric Water Rate Study. This scope of work has been reviewed by two financial consultants involved in the preparation of water rate studies as well as by the water rate ad-hoc committee, and has received feedback from all reviewers, resulting in scope revisions to address the comments. If this Option is selected, the scope of work will be integrated into a Request for Qualifications and Proposals (RFQ&P) and be released to the public for review and proposal preparation by qualified consultants. Staff estimates that the cost to prepare a Uniform Volumetric Water Rate Study is between $40,000 and $50,000. Contingency funding is needed to cover any unforeseen costs associated with preparing the new Study, resulting in a revised project budget of approximately $55,000. (Note: Supplemental budget appropriations (SBAs) are typically requested when projects are awarded. However, as this project is not in the current budget, staff is requesting the SBA be approved prior to issuance of the RFQ&P to ensure that staff and consultants do not waste valuable time and money preparing both the RFQ&P and proposals, only to have alternate direction provided to staff at a later date).
Option 2: Alternately, the City Council may choose to accept the previously presented 2023 Water Rate Study Update prepared by PEI. If this option is selected, the City Council needs to provide staff with direction to implement the Proposition 218 noticing process and set a public hearing date for the adoption of new water utility rates on October 17, 2023.
Option 3: The City Council may also provide alternate direction to staff.

City of Shasta Lake
Uniform Water Rate Study 07-18-23
Draft Scope of Work
Background:
The City of Shasta Lake (City) operates an independent and self-supporting water utility enterprise.
Revenue collected through user rates are exclusively used within the fund to cover operations, maintenance, and capital improvements (with project guidance provided by the City’s 2016-2026 Water Master Plan).
As of 2023, the City’s water utility generally consists of the following components and assets:
Water Supply: The City has the following long-term water contracts in place (agency as noted): 4480 Acre-Feet (Central Valley Project) and 2000 AF (Anderson-Cottonwood Irrigation District, available April - October). Additional single-year water is typically available for purchase from the McConnell Foundation located in Redding, CA; however, the available amount is severely curtailed during drought years and can be expensive.
Water Treatment: All water received by the City is withdrawn from intake piping within Shasta Dam and pumped to the City’s Fisherman’s Point Water Treatment Plant (WTP) via a US Bureau of Reclamation-owned pump station and transmission system. The WTP, with a maximum production capacity of approximately 9.72 million gallons per day (MGD), and a firm capacity (one filter offline) of about 6.5 MGD, treats all water used by the City.
Transmission and Distribution System: The distribution system includes approximately 60 miles of pipelines consisting of steel, cast iron, asbestos cement, and polyvinyl chloride piping. Most of the steel piping is pre-1960 vintage with a large portion of smaller diameter mains (less than 5-inch) being installed prior to 1950.
Storage: The City currently operates one (1) raw water (0.14 MG) and eight (8) potable water (total of approximately 5.5 MG) steel storage tanks.
The City, and the Shasta Dam Area Public Utilities District before it, has metered water usage in our service area for many years. In the 1980’s, the SDAPUD implemented tiered water rates to encourage water conservation. The effect was a series of year-over-year usage decreases - in 1988, SDAPUD used approximately 2189 acre-feet of water; in 1990, usage was reduced to 1889 AF, a reduction of 13.8% for a population of approximately 8833 people. For comparison, the City’s last unconstrained water year was 2019, where we used approximately 2054 AF for a population of approximately 10374 people.
Industry standards recommend that water utilities review their rate structure approximately every five years. After incorporation in 1993, the City continued the SDAPUD’s policy of using tiered water rates to encourage conservation. Over time, the tier breakpoints have been adjusted, as shown below:
132
Rate Study Year Tiers
1986 (2): 1-2000, 2001+
1990 (2): 1-2000, 2001+
1994 (2): 1-2000, 2001+
1997 (3): 1-1000 LL, 1-1000, 1001+
2004 (4): 1-1000 LL, 1-1000, 1001-5000, 5000+
2009 (4): 1-1000 LL, 1-1000, 1001-5000, 5000+
2014 (4): 1-1000 LL, 1-1000, 1001-5000, 5000+
2016 (6): 1-1000 LL, 1001-2000 LL, 2001+ LL
1-1000, 1001-2000, 2001+
Notes: LL denotes Lifeline rates.
All tier usage numbers are in cubic feet.
As shown, the 2016 rate study was undertaken only two years after the 2014 rate study was adopted.
This was because the City had experienced a nearly 30% decline in water sales revenue between 2014 and 2016 due to the ongoing severe drought, the cost of obtaining additional water from outside sources, and additional state mandated conservation measures, and the City needed to adjust its long-term rate structure to continue to maintain effective operations and complete necessary capital improvements.
The 2016 water rate study was completed by Raftelis Financial Consultants, Inc. (RFC) and was the most extensive rate study that the City had ever completed for its public water utility. Following the guidelines presented in the American Water Works Association Manual M1, “Principals of Water Rates, Fees, and Charges”, RFC used the ‘Base-Extra Capacity Method’ for distributing costs across four components: Base Costs, Extra Capacity Costs, Customer Costs, and Direct Fire Protection Costs. These components, broken down into various cost of service subcategories within a legal framework, allowed RFC to prepare proposed updated water rates for the next five years that were fully compliant with California law.
In 2021, the City contracted with PACE Engineering, Inc. (PEI) to perform an update to the 2016 approved water rates. At staff direction, PEI built upon the extensive and City Council-approved RFC study to produce the 2023 Water Rate Study Update. This Update provided proposed rate adjustments for the next five years (FY 2023-2024 though FY 2027-2028) for both water meter and consumption costs. As a part of the update, city staff chose to eliminate rate increases associated with drought stages and to build potential cost increases of wholesale water acquisition for this Study period into the 2023 Water Rate Study Update; as a result, the Drought Rates (rate increases imposed during a State-declared drought) and the Pass-Through Rates (rate increases caused by wholesale water cost increases) that were both contained in the RFC study were to be eliminated from the rate tables.
In April 2023, the PEI update was presented to the City Council. After considerable discussion, City staff was directed by the City Council to investigate having a new water cost of service study completed to determine how to meet the City’s utility revenue requirements utilizing a uniform volumetric water rate with drought rates that could be implemented in drought (allocation cutback) years. 133

League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Sept. 20-22, 2023, Sacramento SAFE Credit Union Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.
Taking place on Sept. 22, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.
To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.
Please complete the attached voting delegate form and email it to Cal Cities office no later than Monday, August 28.
New this year, we will host a pre-conference information session for voting delegates to explain their role. Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide preconference communications with voting delegates.
Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.
Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. When completing the attached Voting Delegate form, please attach either a copy of the council resolution that reflects the council action taken or have your city clerk or mayor sign the form affirming that the names provided are those selected by the city council.
Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.
Council Action Advised by August 28, 2023
141
Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration is open on the Cal Cities website.
For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.
Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.
Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.
The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center in Sacramento, will be open at the following times:
Wednesday, Sept. 20, 8:00 a.m.- 6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Sept. 21, 7:30 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. On Friday, Sept. 22, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.
The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.
Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.
Once again, thank you for completing the voting delegate and alternate form and returning it to Cal Cities office by Monday, Aug. 28. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

1. One City One Vote. Each member city has a right to cast one vote on matters pertaining to Cal Cities policy.

Voting delegates and alternates must sign in at the voting delegate desk. Here they will receive a special sticker on their name badge and thus be admitted to the voting area at the General Assembly.

Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

Sixty days before the
Annual Conference and
Expo, Cal Cities members
may submit policy
proposals on issues of
importance to cities. The
resolution must have the concurrence
of at least five additional member cities
or individual members.
How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions
Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure that we are representing California cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policy that erodes local control.
The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how Resolutions and the General Assembly works.
The petitioned resolution
is an alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during the
annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of member
cities, and submitted to the Cal Cities
President at least 24 hours before the
beginning of the General Assembly.
Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities President
assigns general resolutions
to policy committees where
members review, debate,
and recommend positions for
each policy proposal. Recommendations are
forwarded to the Resolutions Committee.
Who’s who
The Resolutions
Committee includes
representatives from
each Cal Cities diversity
caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.
Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.
The General Assembly
is a meeting of the
collective body of
all voting delegates —
one from every
member city.
Seven Policy
Committees meet
throughout the year to
review and recommend
positions to take on
bills and regulatory
proposals. Policy
committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division,
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.
During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions Committee.
Potential Cal Cities bylaws amendments are also
considered at this meeting.
Cal Cities policy
development is a
member-informed
process, grounded
in the voices and
experiences of city
officials throughout
the state.
For more information visit www.calcities.org/general-assembly Prior to the Annual Conference and Expo
Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions Committee
considers all resolutions.
General Resolutions approved1
by either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee
are next considered by the General
Assembly. General resolutions not approved,
or referred for further study by both a policy
committee and the Resolutions Committee
do not go the General Assembly. All
Petitioned Resolutions are considered by the
General Assembly, unless disqualified.2
• Voting delegates will receive increased communications to prepare them for their role during the General Assembly.
• The General Assembly will take place earlier to allow more time for debate and discussion.
• Improvements to the General Assembly process will make it easier for voting delegates to discuss and debate resolutions.
What’s new in 2023?
During the Annual Conference and Expo
1 The Resolution Committee can amend a general resolution prior to sending it to the General Assembly. 2 Petitioned Resolutions may be disqualified by the Resolutions Committee according to Cal Cities Bylaws Article VI. Sec. 5(f). 145
