APPROVE MOTION TO EXECUTE A THREE-YEAR AGREEMENT, WITH TWO (2) ADDITIONAL ONE (1) YEAR OPTIONS TO EXTEND WITH KOEFRAN INDUSTRIES INC, FOR STOCKTON ANIMAL SHELTER REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL OF DECEASED ANIMALS IN A TOTAL NOT-TOEXCEED AMOUNT OF $140,795
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a motion to:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a three-year contract with two (2) one-year options to extend between the City of Stockton (City) and Koefran Industries Inc. (Koefran) for the Stockton Animal Shelter’s (SAS) removal and disposal of deceased animals in an amount not to exceed $140,795;
2. Approve findings pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code section 3.68.070 in support of an exception to the competitive bidding process; and
3. It is further recommended that the City Manager be authorized and directed to make any and all expenditures and appropriations on behalf of the City as appropriate and necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of this motion.
Summary
The Stockton Police Department (SPD) is seeking Council approval for an agreement with Koefran to remove and dispose of deceased animals from the SAS. Deceased animals are considered a health and safety hazard that, if not disposed of properly, could put the health and safety of other animals in the shelter and the community at risk. Public health risk consist of disease transmission including bacteria, viruses, and parasites to humans and other animals, pathogen release potentially contaminating water supply, and vector attraction like flies, mosquitoes, and rodents that then can carry and spread diseases among the population. The contracted vendor must have the proper tools to remove and dispose of the deceased animals at their facility, following applicable regulations.
Koefran is the only vendor in the area with the necessary tools and services.
DISCUSSION
Background
SAS is required to abide by the California Code of Regulations Title 3, Food and Agriculture, Section 794.3(e), Sanitation Requirements, which provides that: “All dead animals shall be disposed of within 24 hours after death by movement to an approved reduction plant, cremation, or burial.” SAS had a Letter of Agreement with Koefran for over twenty years to remove and dispose of deceased animals.
City of Stockton Page 1 of 2 Printed on 5/29/2025
powered by Legistar™911
File #: 25-0483, Version: 1
Due to the higher volume of intakes, SAS entered an informal contract with Koefran through the sole source justification (SSJ) process approved by the City Manager. As required, a survey was sent to the California Animal Welfare Association (CalAnimals) in search of any companies in the area that perform the removal and proper disposal of deceased animals, resulting in Koefran being the only vendor in Northern California able to accommodate the amount of deceased animals SAS must dispose of.
Upon Council approval, staff recommends moving forward with a Standard Agreement to continue the services needed for operation of business (Attachment A).
Present Situation
SAS has a steady influx of deceased animals picked up by SAS Officers, San Joaquin County Animal Control, CalTrans or dropped off by the community members - as it offers free drop-off for the community’s deceased pets. The animal carcasses are placed in a cold box at SAS, that must be emptied regularly as it is required by law to promptly dispose in order to protect the health and safety of SAS and the community. So, SAS has partnered with Koefran over the last twenty years.
In 2023, SAS surveyed the needed services, resulting in Koefran as the only provider. The current SSJ was approved on February 2, 2024, for an estimated amount of $28,800 through December 31, 2027, additional funding will be needed due to the increase in intakes. A new SSJ, followed by a Standard Agreement not to exceed $140,795, will prevent any interruption in these essential services. Furthermore, by contracting with an outside vendor for this service, SAS avoids the cost of adding a crematorium to the facility for the proper disposal of deceased animals and the added funds needed to obtain the license for performing this service, causing an overflow of carcasses endangering the health of the community.
Findings
Stockton Municipal Code section 3.68.070(A)(4) provides an exception to the competitive bidding process for sole source vendors in cases where the City Council has approved findings that support and justify the exception. The findings are as follows:
1. Koefran is the only vendor in the area with the proper equipment to pick up deceased animals from SAS and adequately dispose of the carcasses on a timely basis.
2. Koefran provides pick up and disposal of medical waste and deceased animals.
3. Contracting with Koefran will allow SAS to continue free drop-off of the community’s deceased animals; keeping the community safe and free of any health hazard that deceased animals could create.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The total proposed cost for the three (3) year agreement with Koefran shall not exceed $140,795.
These funds are available in the FY 2025-26 Police Department’s Animal Shelter General Fund.

APPROVE MOTION TO EXECUTE A THREE-YEAR AGREEMENT WITH NAVIANT, LLC. FOR HYLAND ONBASE IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $149,490
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a motion to:
1. Authorize the Interim City Manager to execute a three-year contract between the City of Stockton (City) and Naviant, LLC. (Naviant) for Hyland OnBase System (OnBase) in an amount not to exceed $149,490;
2. Approve findings pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code section 3.68.070 in support of an exception to the competitive bidding process; and
3. It is further recommended that the Interim City Manager be authorized and directed to make any and all expenditures on behalf of the City as appropriate and necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of this motion.
Summary
Seven departments use OnBase for electronic document storage and retrieval (City Clerk, Administrative Services, Public Works, Economic Development, Municipal Utilities, Community Development, and the Police Department). The OnBase software stores digital copies of invoice payments, checks, procurement requisitions, contracts, permits, drawings, plans, etc. The City is investing in a more comprehensive and strategic approach to electronic document management that uses the new Tyler Munis ERP document management system for financial documents, but it will not eliminate the need for storing historical records or ongoing usage for storing documents such as permits, drawings, plans, and other non-financial records.
The Police Department (PD) uses the OnBase software for scanning in the record division and will need to maintain, service and support the software. This is important for the extensive record keeping for PD. This will continue to be the most cost-effective tool, in comparison to a new service and implementation.
Staff is recommending continuing with Naviant as a single source three-year purchase for the OnBase software used specifically for PD, for a total amount not to exceed of $149,490.

DISCUSSION
Background
Seven departments (City Clerk, Administrative Services, Public Works, Economic Development, Municipal Utilities, Community Development, and Police Department) use OnBase to image, store, and retrieve documents and historical records. This software solution is purchased through Naviant, a reseller of OnBase Online.
In the last few years, the City implemented a new ERP system that has reduced the storage requirements and investment needed for a document management system such as OnBase, but it will not eliminate the need for storing historical records or ongoing usage for storing permits, drawings, plans, and other non-financial records.
Present Situation
The most recent agreement for PD with Naviant expires on July 31, 2025. Staff is recommending that Council adopt findings to support an exception to the competitive bidding requirements for a sole source purchase agreement with Naviant. Approval of the agreement with Naviant will ensure the City’s current hosted document management system is licensed and maintained.
The software upholds the documentation for the record division. PD and the Information Technology Department (IT) are currently working on an upgrade to replace the current scanning process with Kofax to OnBase.
Findings:
Stockton Municipal Code section 3.68.070(A)(4) provides an exception to the competitive bidding process for sole source vendors in cases where the City Council has approved findings that support and justify the exception. The findings are as follows:
1. The City has a continued need for an electronic document management system for a wide variety of documents including financial and non-financial documents.
2. Naviant is the only authorized distributor in Northern California for the OnBase software system. Naviant is the only vendor that offers maintenance, service, and support for the OnBase software and scanning equipment together.
3. The purchase of OnBase is required for business continuity within the Department to image and retrieve documents.
4. The solution is cost-effective compared to other solutions, and due to its extensive integration with existing City systems, switching to another solution would be cost-prohibitive.

APPROVE THE SECOND FOLLOW-UP RESPONSE TO THE 2023-24 SAN JOAQUIN CIVIL GRAND JURY CASE NUMBER 0123, CRISIS IN GOVERNMENT
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council, by motion:
1. Approve the City’s second, follow-up response to the 2023-24 San Joaquin Civil Grand Jury Case Number 0123, Crisis in Government.
2. Authorize the City Attorney to submit all approved responses to the San Joaquin County Civil Grand Jury on behalf of the City and Council.
Summary
Each year it is the duty of the San Joaquin Civil Grand Jury to examine and investigate the activities of local government and agencies within San Joaquin County. The 2023-2024 Civil Grand Jury conducted a new investigation, entitled “Crisis in Government.” This presented item is the City’s second, follow-up response to the 2023-24 Grand Jury’s Case No. 0123, “Crisis in Government” (Attachment A).
DISCUSSION
Background
California Penal Code section 933 requires that “a grand jury shall provide to the affected agency a copy of the portion of the grand jury report relating to that person or entity […]” and “no later than 90 days after the grand jury submits a final report on the operations of any public agency subject to its reviewing authority, the governing body of the public agency shall comment to the presiding judge of the superior court on the findings and recommendations pertaining to matters under control of the governing body […].”
The City received the Grand Jury’s notification of this report on June 10, 2024. The City Manager, City Attorney, Interim City Clerk and staff worked through the Council Legislative Committee to develop and make recommendations to the full Council responsive to the recommendations issued in this report.
On August 20, 2024, by motion 2024-08-20-1210, the City Council approved the City’s initial 90-day response to the full 2023-24 report. That response included responses to other, older Grand Jury reports as well as the 2023/24 report regarding case number 0123, Crisis in Government,” with information available at that time. The response confirmed the timelines for the City to provide City of Stockton Page 1 of 2 Printed on 5/29/2025

information available at that time. The response confirmed the timelines for the City to provide additional information, as necessary, and as required by the Grand Jury (Attachment B).
On October 1, 2024, by motion 2024-10-01-1205, the City Council approved the City’s second followup response to the 2023-24 San Joaquin Civil Grand Jury’s Second Look at the 2018-19 Report, Case No. 0318, Cold Cases in San Joaquin County: On the Back Burner. While that report did not include a substantive response to Case No. 0123, within that response, the City agreed to provide the Grand Jury with a second follow-up response to Case No. 0123, Crisis in Government, in April 2025 (Attachment C).
***NOTE: The second response presented to the Council on October 1, 2024, did not include a substantive follow-up response to Case No. 0123, Crisis in Government. Instead, it provided a target date for a second follow-up response to Case No. 0123. Therefore, technically, the current follow-up response should be the first (substantive) follow-up response for Case No. 0123. However, to avoid confusion and provide consistency and continuity with previous responses, this response will continue to be referenced as the second follow-up response to Case No. 0123.
Present Situation
Due to staffing changes, the next follow-up response was not submitted in April 2025. This item is now presented for Council consideration so that the City may provide its second follow-up response.
City of Stockton: Crisis in Government - Case No. 0123
The City’s initial response to Case No. 0123, Crisis in Government (Attachment B), provided responses to already addressed recommendations and committed to follow-up responses for recommendations not yet addressed. This second follow-up response will update all remaining items that have been addressed. Grand Jury recommendations will continue to come to the full Council for consideration as staff continue to work through the remaining items.
The City anticipates the next update to the Grand Jury in September 2025.
If approved, the City Attorney will submit all responses, Attachment A to the Grand Jury on behalf of the City and Council.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
Approving the City’s second, follow-up response to the 2023-24 Grand Jury’s Case No. 0123, Crisis in Government, will not impact the City’s General or Special Funds in any way.

DISCUSSION OF COUNCILMEMBER CODE OF ETHICS AND EXISTING CREED FOR
COUNCILMEMBERS
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Legislation and Environmental Committee receive information and discuss a Councilmember Code of Ethics as well as review the existing Creed for Councilmembers and decide whether changes are necessary.
Summary
The Council Policy Manual (CPM) contains Chapter 2.03 - Code of Ethics for Elected Officials and Commissioners and several policies with sections related to ethical conduct throughout the manual.
Review of the CPM revealed an opportunity to clarify areas of ethical conduct as well as those not previously addressed.
Likewise, there is an existing Creed for Councilmembers dating back to the mid-80’s which needs review and modernization.
Staff seeks direction from the Legislation and Environmental Committee on potential revisions to the CPM and Creed.
DISCUSSION
Background
Council Policy Manual
Currently, CPM Chapter 2.03 - Code of Ethics for Elected Officials and Commissioners (Attachment A) is very brief and speaks specifically to requirements under AB1234, state required mandatory ethics training. As a reminder, AB1234 relates to financial interests and perks for covered officials.
Other Chapters within the CPM which contain sections that address areas of ethical conduct, include Chapter 4.04 - Closed Sessions; Chapter 4.06 - Roles and Rules; Chapter 4.07 - Decorum primarily address conduct during meetings; and Chapter 4.08 - Council Censure addresses formal action procedures for Councilmember misconduct. These Chapters may return for further review as applicable during the CPM update process.
There is an opportunity to incorporate additional language into the Council Policy Manual to reflect best practices.

Creed
On January 13, 1986, Councilmember McGaughey presented a Creed for Councilmembers that originated from the City of San Jose. The City Council voted to send it to the Legislation and Election Committee for consideration. On February 12, 1986, at the Legislation and Election Committee meeting, members reviewed and forwarded the Creed for Councilmembers to the City Council for adoption. The City Council adopted the Creed for Councilmembers at the meeting of March 17, 1986, via Resolution 86-0131 (Attachment B).
Present Situation
Council Policy Manual
For consideration, and consistent with the recommendation of the San Joaquin County Civil Grand Jury, staff has provided excerpts from the City and County of San Francisco’s Campaign and Governmental Conduct Code (“SF Code”).
Within the SF Code, is Article I, Chapter 5 Regulation of Campaign Consultants (Attachment C).
Staff asks the Committee to consider potential adoption of excerpts of this chapter to increase the integrity and transparency of the electoral process and governance within the City of Stockton.
Article III, Chapter 2 of the SF Code addresses Conflict of Interest and Other Prohibited Activities (Attachment D) and defines prohibited activities in greater detail than currently addressed in the Stockton CPM or elsewhere in its policies or regulations. Staff recommends the Committee consider incorporating language from Chapter 2 of the SF Code to further refine the language in the Stockton CPM.
Creed
The Creed for Councilmembers has not been reviewed in 38 years. Accordingly, Staff recommends a review of the Creed for any relevant additions or deletions.
Next Steps
Staff requests direction from the Legislation and Environmental Committee on what changes, if any, to bring back for review at a subsequent meeting.

SEC. 3.200. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
(a) The people of the City and County of San Francisco declare that public office is a public trust and all officers and employees of the City and County shall exercise their public duties in a manner consistent with this trust. To assure that the governmental processes of the City and County promote fairness and equity for all residents and to maintain public trust in governmental institutions, the people of the City and County declare that they have a compelling interest in creating laws regulating conflicts of interest and outside activities of City officers and employees.
(b) The proper operation of the government of the City and County of San Francisco requires that public officers and employees be independent, impartial, and responsible to the people and that public office and employment not be used for personal gain. The public interest, therefore, requires that officers and employees of the City and County be prohibited from making, participating in making or otherwise seeking to influence governmental decisions in which they have a financial interest or accepting gifts and other things of value from regulated sources.
(c) In order to maintain the public's confidence in the integrity of governmental decisions related to the appointment and discipline of public officers and employees, public officers and employees must not give or receive anything of value in consideration of their appointment or accept anything of value from their subordinates, and must not participate in decisions related to their own character or conduct or that of their family members.
(d) City and County contracts should be, and should appear to be, awarded on a fair and impartial basis. The practice of members of Boards and Commissions of the City and County contracting with the City and County creates the potential for, and the appearance of, favoritism or preferential treatment by the City and County. Prohibiting members of Boards and Commissions of the City and County from contracting with the City and County will eliminate both actual and perceived favoritism or preferential treatment without creating
ATTACHMENT B
982
unnecessary barriers to public service.
(e) Government decisions of officers and employees of the City and County should be, and should appear to be, made on a fair and impartial basis. The practice of former officers and employees communicating with their former colleagues on behalf of private interests and the practice of current officers of the City and County communicating with other officers and employees on behalf of any other person for compensation creates the potential for, and the appearance of, undue influence, favoritism or preferential treatment.
Prohibiting former officers and employees from communicating orally, in writing, or in any other manner with their former colleagues for specified periods of time and prohibiting current officers from communicating orally, in writing, or in any other manner with other officers and employees of the City and County on behalf of any other person for compensation will eliminate both actual and perceived undue influence, favoritism or preferential treatment without creating unnecessary barriers to public service.

(3) No person may offer or give to an officer, directly or indirectly, and no City elective officer or member of a board or commission may solicit or accept from any person, directly or indirectly, anything of value if it could reasonably be expected to influence the officer’s vote, official actions, or judgment with respect to a particular pending legislative or administrative action, or could reasonably be considered as a reward for any official action or inaction on the part of the officer. This subsection (a)(3) does not prohibit a City elective officer or member of a board or commission from engaging in outside employment. (b) Exception: public generally. The prohibition set forth in subsection (a)(1) shall not apply if the resulting benefit, advantage, or privilege also affects a significant segment of the public and the effect is not unique.

APPROVE AMENDMENT TO CITY COUNCIL POLICY MANUAL CHAPTER 2.06 - COUNCIL
COMMUNICATIONS GUIDELINES
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council approve by resolution an amendment to the City Council Policy Manual Chapter 2.06 - Council Communication by adding a policy defining the use of City Council letterhead.
Summary
The City Council Policy Manual does not contain a policy for the use of City or Council Letterhead.
The Legislation / Environmental Committee members have requested that staff present the attached policy for review and approval by the full Council.
DISCUSSION
Background
The Legislation / Environmental Committee members have been reviewing and making recommendations to update the City Council Policy Manual. During the review of Chapter 2.06 - Council Communication Guidelines, it was discovered that the current policy does not address the use of City or Council letterhead (Attachment A - Council Policy Manual Chapter 2.06, current online version). The members of the Council Legislation / Environmental Committee directed staff to develop a policy.
Present Situation
Staff researched available city policies from several cities that had posted their policy on the Institute for Local Government website. Based on the information presented at the April 17, 2024, Legislation / Environmental Committee meeting, Committee members have requested that staff present the amended policy for review and approval by the full Council (Attachment B - Proposed Council Policy Chapter 2.06). The current guidelines located at Council Policy Manual Title 2, Chapter 2.06 - Council Communication Guidelines will be consolidated under Section 2.06.010. The new proposed policy concerning letterheads would be codified under Section 2.06.020. The remaining sections of Chapter 2.06 at 2.06.030 through 2.06.070, having been consolidated into
2.06.010, would be stricken.
Approval of this policy would also address recommendation R2.4 of the 2024 San Joaquin County Civil Grand Jury Report, “City of Stockton: Crisis in Government, Case # 0123” issued on June 10, 2024.

APPROVE THE SECOND FOLLOW-UP RESPONSE TO THE 2023-24 SAN JOAQUIN CIVIL GRAND JURY SECOND LOOK AT CASE NO. 0318 COLD CASES IN SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY:
ON THE BACK BURNER
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve by motion the City’s second, follow-up response to the 2023-24 San Joaquin Civil Grand Jury’s Second Look at the 2018-19 Report, Case No. 0318, Cold Cases in San Joaquin County: On the Back Burner.
It is also recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to submit all approved responses to the San Joaquin Grand Jury on behalf of the City and Council.
Summary
Each year it is the duty of the San Joaquin Civil Grand Jury to examine and investigate the activities of local government and agencies within San Joaquin County. The 2023-2024 Civil Grand Jury conducted two new investigations, four second look reviews of prior follow-up reports, and issued four additional follow-up reports. Of these ten items, the City of Stockton is required to respond to four.
Today’s item is presenting for approval the City’s second, follow-up response to the 2023-24 Grand Jury’s Second Look at Case No. 0318 “Cold Cases in San Joaquin County: On the Back Burner” (Attachment A).
DISCUSSION
Background
California Penal Code 933 requires that “a grand jury shall provide to the affected agency a copy of the portion of the grand jury report relating to that person or entity […]” and “no later than 90 days after the grand jury submits a final report on the operations of any public agency subject to its reviewing authority, the governing body of the public agency shall comment to the presiding judge of the superior court on the findings and recommendations pertaining to matters under control of the governing body […].”
Of the work completed by the 2023-24 Grand Jury, the City of Stockton is required to respond to the following four of ten investigations:
· New Investigation: City of Stockton: Crisis in Government, Case No. 0123 · Second Look: Cold Cases in San Joaquin County: On the Back Burner, 2018-19 Report, Case No. 0318

· Second Look: Illegal Dumping: Talking Trash, 2019-20 Report, Case No. 0519 · Follow-Up Report: School Safety in San Joaquin County: Developing a Culture of Safety, 2022 -23 Report, Case No. 0322
On August 20, 2024, by motion 2024-08-20-1210, the City Council approved the City’s initial 90-day response to the full 2023-24 report, preliminarily addressing all four investigations with information available at that time and confirmed timelines for the City to provide additional information, as necessary, and as required by the Grand Jury. The portion of the City’s 90-day response specific to Cold Cases has been included in this item as Attachment B.
The City will provide the Grand Jury with a second, follow-up response to Case No. 0123, Crisis in Government in April 2025.
In September 2024, the City submitted to the Grand Jury its second, follow-up response to Case No. 0519, Illegal Dumping following Council approval of the City’s amendment Stockton Municipal Code Title 8.104, adding the Illegal Dumping Ordinance and Resolution 2024-09-10-1601.
A follow-up response to Case No. 0322, School Safety in San Joaquin County is not required at this time.
The City is now presenting its second, follow-up response to Case No. 0318, Cold Cases in San Joaquin County for Council review and approval.
Present Situation
The 2023-24 report states that “the 2018-2019 San Joaquin County Civil Grand Jury investigated the status of cold case investigations and concluded that the County lacked leadership, staff, desire, and funding: what were called cold case units were basically nonexistent units.” The 2018-19 Civil Grand Jury identified 8 areas of concern for cold case investigations.
The 2023-24 Civil Grand Jury determined that a second look at the status of cold cases was warranted. The Law and Justice Committee wanted to determine the status of cold case investigations in San Joaquin County today and assess/determine the impact of the 2018-2019 Civil Grand Jury report. As part of their second look, the 2023-24 Grand Jury reviewed previously issued reports and agency responses, presentations from each agency named, interviews with some of the agencies, and site visits.
At the conclusion of their process, the 2023-24 Grand Jury issued one new finding and two recommendations, the first of which instructed all Agencies to review and implement the recommendations from the 2018-19 report. The City has prepared a draft response to the 2018-19 Recommendations R1, R2, R5, R8, and R10 (Attachment C).
If approved, the City Manager will submit the City’s response to the San Joaquin Civil Grand Jury on behalf of the City and Council.

Amendments related to housing include increasing the density bonuses for affordable housing, reducing some residential setback requirements to allow for a greater range of housing types, incorporation of objective design standards to streamline and create consistency in design approvals, and incorporating State ADU provisions into the Code, including allowance for ADUs to be conveyed separately from the primary dwelling unit as condominiums.

To facilitate preliminary review/feedback on the draft ordinance to staff by the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission formed an Ad Hoc Committee to review and provide comments/required adjustments on the proposed amendments prior to a public hearing. The Ad Hoc Committee consisted of Chair Sanguinetti, Vice Chair Muetzenberg, and Commissioner Hull. The Ad Hoc Committee met on April 8th and April 15th, 2025. The proposed amendment reflects input from the Ad Hoc Committee members.
On May 8, 2025, at the regular Planning Commission meeting, the Commission considered the proposed amendments. After hearing Staff’s presentation, public testimony, and a robust discussion, the Planning Commission passed Resolution 2025-05-08-0502 recommending the City Council adopt the proposed ordinance amending the Development Code (Attachment A).
DISCUSSION
Background
Due to housing production (supply) not keeping pace with housing demand, the California legislature and Governor have declared the State to be in a housing crisis. To encourage increases in housing production, the State passed a series of bills to allocate funding to jurisdictions. This funding is to be used by jurisdictions to conduct studies, remove governmental constraints (regulations), and create pro-housing policies to encourage local housing development. From 2019 to 2021, the City applied for three housing grants totaling just under $2 million. Those grants can only be used for updating and creating new planning documents to help implement process improvements that accelerate housing production.
Between the years 2021 and 2022, staff executed multiple consultant contracts to accomplish several significant planning initiatives including a state mandated update of the Stockton Housing Element and Safety Element, development of a citywide Housing Action Plan and three neighborhood action plans for the South Airport Way Corridor, Little Manilla/Gleason Park, and Cabral/East Cabral areas; and a comprehensive update of the Development Code. Over the last four years, these efforts required a significant public outreach effort and relations with prominent non-profit organizations to help gather and provide input. The combined efforts were identified as “Shape Stockton” for ease of the public understanding the activities in conducting outreach and holding workshop meetings in various locations and preparing informational materials. Workshop flyers were prepared in English and Spanish, and a Spanish interpreter was in attendance at the majority of meetings. Outreach occurred in various manners including participation at pop-up events, farmers markets and scheduled meetings at the Stockton Civic, El Concilio, City libraries, and community centers north, south and central to the City.
City staff and the City’s Consultant team (represented by Martha Miller) conducted informational working sessions with the Planning Commission on July 28, 2022, October 27, 2022, and March 9, City of Stockton Page 6 of 12 Printed on 5/29/2025
powered by Legistar™1022
File #: 25-0537, Version: 1
2023, to gather preliminary feedback on the Development Code and Design Guidelines updates. At those meetings, the Planning Commission feedback provided that:
· Housing is a priority and the City should seek to simplify the process to attract more housing options
· The City’s zoning and design standards are confusing, and new standards should be adopted that are easy to understand, detailed, and oriented to streamlining high-quality development · Amendments to the Development Code and Design Guidelines should balance detailed and objective standards with allowing flexibility in design · All efforts should have a robust public engagement with multiple methods to seek feedback from residents, business owners, and the development community Since spring 2023, City staff has been working with the consultant team to amend the Development Code to align with the gathered public feedback and Planning Commission’s direction.
The proposed 2025 Development Code amendments are to update the housing related provisions to reflect changes in State law and accommodate housing development consistent with the City’s General Plan, Housing Element, and Shape Stockton efforts. While housing related amendments are the focus, the 2025 Development Code update includes technical updates and revisions throughout the Code for consistency with the General Plan, improved organization and usability, and other amendments to simplify and standardize language, remove redundancies, clarify applicability, and remove obsolete provisions.
Present Situation
Staff is requesting City Council to adopt the proposed Ordinance amending the Development Code. A redline (track changes) of the proposed Development Code amendments is included as Attachment B. Additionally, the proposed amendments are summarized as follows:
Division 1: Purpose and Applicability of Development Code Division 1 establishes the overall purposes of the development code text and zoning map and the general rules that govern their applicability and use. Amendments to this Division include technical edits, reorganization of existing provisions, and other amendments to simplify and standardize language and remove redundancies. Rules for rounding numbers that result in a fraction are updated to provide exception for calculating affordable housing density bonus.
Division 2: Zoning Districts, Allowable Land Uses, and Zone-Specific Standards Provisions in Division 2 specify the land use and development standards for each base and overlay zoning district. Each base zoning district has a purpose statement, a list of allowed uses specifying the level of discretionary review required, development standards applicable to those uses, and supplemental regulations. Use regulations and development standards will be presented in a table format, with cross-references to applicable standards in other sections. The following are subsections in Division 2 that summarize proposed updates.
Districts and District Purpose Statements
District purpose statements and the zoning district/General Plan designation correspondence table are updated for consistency with the 2040 General Plan. A new Commercial District, CH City of Stockton Page 7 of 12 Printed on 5/29/2025
powered by Legistar™1023
File #: 25-0537, Version: 1
(Commercial, Heavy) is established with the intention that the existing CI (Commercial Industrial) Overlay District will eventually be applied as a base zoning district. Although the new CH District is included in the Development Code, amending the Zoning Map and applying the zone to a property would be a separate, subsequent effort.
Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements
The Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements Table establishes the allowed uses within zoning district throughout the City. Table 2-2 of the current code is updated to reflect the revised land use classifications located in Division 8 of the Code. Outdated and redundant uses have been updated, consolidated, or removed. Permit requirements have been adjusted to encourage and streamline development in the City. The current Zoning District use regulations have been refined consistent with the General Plan, State and federal law, and to reflect common practice.
District Development Standards
Existing development standards in each zone have largely been carried forward, except as described below:
· RH (Residential, High Density) District minimum lot area and width, maximum height, minimum front and rear setback, and maximum lot coverage standards are adjusted to accommodate allowed residential densities Outside the Greater Downtown Area, Inside the Greater Downtown Area, and the Downtown Core
· The front setback requirement is reduced to 15 feet (20 for front entry garages) in the lower density residential districts (RE, RL, and RM)
· Minimum lot area and side and rear setback requirements in the CO (Commercial Office) District are amended to be consistent with the other commercial districts · Height allowances in commercial districts are increased to allow up to 75 feet in the CG, CL, and CA districts; up to 45 feet in the CN District; and 45 feet, up to 60 feet with Commission Use Permit approval in the CO District. The CD District continues to not have a maximum height limit
· PF (Public Facilities) District Floor Area Ratio (FAR) allowances are updated to reflect the General Plan
· Clarification is made that either gross or net calculation can be used for determining allowable and required density
· New requirements for residential open space in multi-unit development are included.
Residential open space is to be provided as either common or private open space, in amounts calibrated to the context of the district and allowable densities Division 3: Site Planning and General Development Regulations Division 3 includes general site development standards, specific use regulations, and other requirements that are applicable in some or all districts such as provisions regarding fencing, parking, landscaping, and treatment of nonconforming situations. Consistency amendments are made to provisions throughout this Division, such as Section 16.52, Infill Development Standards, and Table 3 -9, Parking Requirements by Land Use, to reflect amendments to development standards, use classifications, and other provisions. Notable changes in subsections of Division 3 are summarized below.
City of Stockton Page 8 of 12 Printed on 5/29/2025

File #: 25-0537, Version: 1
General Development and Use Standards (and Fences, Hedges, and Walls) Chapter 16.36, General Development and Use Standards, is amended to consolidate other related standards that are currently scattered in various sections throughout the Code, remove redundancies, and provide clarity. A new section on lighting and illumination applies to all new development and additions that involve light fixtures or systems. Draft regulations include standards for height, design, timing controls, and light trespass. Standards are included to minimize outdoor artificial light that may have a detrimental effect on surrounding property. There is also a new section that establishes design criteria for residential open space, where residential open space is required by the Code.
Consistency amendments are also made to other parts of the code, including, but not limited to,
16.32.060, Graffiti, 16.32.070, Light and Glare, and 16.80.020, Accessory Uses and Structures.
Additionally, Chapter 16.48, Fences, Hedges, and Walls is revised to remove provisions incorporated into General Development and Use Standards and reorganized for usability and clarity.
Affordable Housing Incentives/Density Bonus Provisions
Thresholds for allowable density bonuses are increased to allow up to a 50% bonus pursuant to State Density Bonus, a 50% to 75% density bonus pursuant to a Tier-1 Supplemental Density Bonus, and a 76% to 100% density bonus pursuant to a Tier-2 Supplemental Density Bonus.
Building Design Standards
New Chapter 16.38, Building Design Standards, establishes objective design standards for detached single-unit, multi-family and residential mixed-use development. The standards were developed based on public input regarding design preferences gathered through public workshops, staff input, and existing standards and design guidelines. They address building location and orientation, entrance design, building wall articulation, windows and transparency, open space, and parking area design.
Objective design standards are important for applicants and neighbors to know what the City’s design expectations are for new projects. Additionally, for certain specific types of development, State law may limit the City’s review of projects to compliance with objective standards. Should an applicant elect not to meet the objective standards, the applicant may request consideration of alternative approaches through the Waiver process. To avoid redundancies, existing Sections 16.80.215, MultiUnit Residential, 16.80.225, Multi-family Development, and 16.80.230, Multi-Use Facilities are deleted.
Standards for Specific Uses
Section 16.80.155, Emergency Shelters, is amended for consistency with California Government Code Section 65583 which states that emergency shelters may only be subject to those development and management standards that apply to residential or commercial development within the same zone except that a local government may apply written, objective standards related to the following:
· The maximum number of beds or persons permitted to be served nightly by the facility · Sufficient parking to accommodate all staff working in the emergency shelter, provided that the standards do not require more parking for emergency shelters than other residential or commercial uses within the same zone
City of Stockton Page 9 of 12 Printed on 5/29/2025

File #: 25-0537, Version: 1
· The size and location of exterior and interior onsite waiting and client intake areas · The provision of onsite management
· The proximity to other emergency shelters, provided that emergency shelters are not required to be more than 300 feet apart
· The length of stay
· Lighting
· Security during hours that the emergency shelter is in operation Section 16.80.210, Mobilehome Parks and Subdivisions, is revised for clarity and to remove redundant requirements.
Section 16.80.310, Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs), is revised for consistency with revisions being made in other sections and to allow for an ADU to be conveyed separately from the primary dwelling unit as a condominium, consistent with allowances enabled under Government Code Section 66342.
New Section 16.80.400, Supportive and Transitional Housing, is added for consistency with State law which requires transitional and supportive housing to be considered a residential use, subject only to those restrictions that apply to other residential uses of the same type in the same zoning district.
Additionally, supportive housing developments with up to 50 units shall be permitted by right in all zoning districts where multi-unit and mixed use residential development are permitted provided the development meets the criteria established in Government Code Section 65651.
Division 4: Application Process
No changes to Division 4 are included in these proposed amendments.
Division 5: Land Use/Development Procedures
Chapter 16.112, Administrative Exception, is revised to increase the maximum allowable adjustment from the requirements of the Code the Director may grant for certain development standards to reflect commonly requested and approved Waivers. Corresponding consistency changes are also made to Chapter 16.176, Waivers.
Division 6: Subdivision Regulations
Development standards for Condominium Conversions are currently located in Division 3 Section
16.80.120, and are relocated to Division 6 that contains requirements for condominium conversion so all related information is in one place.
A new Chapter 16.212, Urban Lot Splits, provides procedures and standards for urban lot splits in accordance with the requirements of Government Code Section 66411.7, which allows lots in the RL (Residential, Low Density) zoning district to be split into two parcels.
Division 7: Development Code Administration
Provisions in Chapter 16.214, Requests for Reasonable Accommodation Under the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act Requests for Reasonable Accommodation, are carried forward with organizational and text refinements for clarity, usability, and consistency with State and federal laws.

File #: 25-0537, Version: 1
Procedures for a historic resource demolition or relocation permit are revised to provide additional detail and the review process and the responsibilities of staff, the Director, Cultural Heritage Board, and Planning Commission. New provisions codify requirements for a historical or cultural resource study for any demolition of commercial structures, public noticing for findings of no historic significance, and procedures for CHB review, including public notice requirements.
Division 8: Glossary
In the current Development Code, land use definitions are mixed with definitions of general terms.
This makes it difficult to compare similar uses or understand what uses are allowed. Additionally, there are outdated and overly specific uses, such as ‘printing and publishing’, ‘bridge clubs’, and ‘bed and breakfast inns’, that don’t reflect contemporary land uses. The goal of the proposed revisions is to create a streamlined, user-friendly list of use classifications to improve the functionality of the Code.
Chapter 16.240, Definitions/Glossary, is revised to remove land use definitions from the definitions of general terms. A new chapter, Chapter 16.250, Use Classifications, is added and includes a revised set of land use classifications. The new chapter groups all uses by type: Residential Uses; Public/Semi-Public, Recreational, and Institutional Uses; Commercial, Business, and Service Uses; Industrial Uses; Transportation, Communication, and Utility Uses; and Agricultural and Resource Related Uses. Land uses contained in the current Code have been revised and consolidated into use groups based on common function, product, impacts, or physical characteristics. The groups are designed to be broad enough to allow the classification of new, unanticipated uses, to reduce confusion and the need to amend this Section of the Code.
Many uses in the existing Code have been renamed to reflect standard terminology in modern land use law and practice. Some outdated uses have been removed from the Code entirely, while other new categories have been introduced to the classification system, such as Pet Training and Day Care. In circumstances where more fine-tuned regulation is necessary, additional subclassifications of standard uses have been proposed. For example, the Eating and Drinking Establishments land use classification is separated into three subclassifications: Bars and Nightclubs, Food and Beverage Tasting, and Restaurants.
Environmental Analysis
On December 4, 2018, the City Council certified the Envision Stockton 2040 General Plan Environmental Impact Report (GPEIR) (SCH No. 2017052062). The GPEIR provides a programmatic review of the potential impacts associated with the implementation of the General Plan. The proposed amendments implement the General Plan policies necessary to achieve the General Plan goals. These amendments clarify existing standards and processes and will not result in intensification beyond what was previously analyzed in the GPEIR. None of the proposed amendments will impact the analysis or conclusions of the GPEIR. The potential impacts of the amendments are within the scope of the GPEIR. Additionally, the proposed amendments do create any specific impacts not considered in the GPEIR, any significant impact not evaluated in GPEIR, any significant off-site or cumulative impacts not evaluated in the GPEIR, or any identified impacts more severe based on new information not known when the GPEIR was certified. Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines 15183, the proposed amendments do not require additional environmental review.

ATTACHMENT B – Proposed Title 16 Amendments (Redline/Strikeout) 3 agencies. Any governmental agency shall be exempt from the provisions of this Code only to the extent that such property may not be lawfully regulated by the City of Stockton.
B. Minimum Requirements. All provisions of this Development Code shall be considered minimum requirements, unless stated otherwise (for example, height limits and site coverage requirements for structures, and the numbers and size of signs allowed are maximums, not minimums). Where this Code provides for more discretion on the part of a City official or body, that discretion may be exercised to impose more stringent requirements than set forth in this Code as may be necessary to promote orderly land use development and the purposes of this Code.
C. Other Requirements May Apply. Nothing in this Development Code eliminates the need for obtaining any permit, approval, or entitlement required by other provisions of the Stockton Municipal Code or complying with the regulations of any City department, or any County, regional, special districts, State, or Federal agency.
D. Conflicting Requirements. Any conflicts between different requirements of this Development Code, or between this Development Code and other regulations, shall be resolved in compliance with Section 16.08.020.D (Conflicting Requirements).
E. Prior Ordinance. The provisions of this Code supersede all prior ordinances codified in Title 16 of the Stockton Municipal Code and any amendments.

A. New Land Uses or Structures, Changes to Land Uses or Structures. It is unlawful, and a violation of the Stockton Municipal Code, for any person to establish, occupy, maintain, construct, reconstruct, alter, or replace any use of land or structure, except in compliance with the requirements of this Development Code.
B.F. Issuance of Building or Grading Permits. The Building Official may only issue building, grading, or other construction permits after all applicable requirements of this Development Code, and all other applicable statutes, ordinances and regulations have been met.
C. Subdivision of Land. Any subdivision of land proposed within the City shall be consistent with:
1. The minimum lot size requirements of Table 2-3 (Zoning District Development Standards);
2. Division 6 (Subdivision Regulations); and
3. All other applicable requirements of this Development Code. 1035
ATTACHMENT B – Proposed Title 16 Amendments (Redline/Strikeout) 4 D. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). All development projects subject to discretionary review shall also be subject to environmental review in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
E. Lawful Land Uses. An existing land use is lawful only when it was legally established in compliance with all regulations applicable at the time the use was established and when it is operated and maintained in compliance with all applicable provisions of this Development Code, including Chapter 16.228 (Nonconforming Uses, Structures and Parcels).
F.G. Effect of Development Code Changes on a Project in Progress. The enactment of this Development Code or any amendment to its requirements, may have the effect of imposing different standards on a new land use than those that applied to existing development. (For example, this Development Code or a future amendment could require more off-street parking spaces for a particular land use than former regulations.) The following provisions determine how the requirements of this Development Code apply to a development project that is in progress at the time requirements are changed, but is not in compliance with this Development Code. A development project that remains in compliance with all applicable provisions of this Development Code as amended, shall proceed in compliance with this Development Code.
1. Project With a Pending Application. A land use permit application that has been determined by the Community Development Department to be complete before the effective date of the ordinance codified in this Development Code or any amendment:
a. May be processed according to the requirements in effect when the application was accepted as complete, unless the review authority (i.e., Director, Planning Commission, or City Council) determines it is necessary to apply new or amended development standards to the project approval to ensure public health, safety, welfare, and orderly development; and b.

ATTACHMENT B – Proposed Title 16 Amendments (Redline/Strikeout) 7 Chapter 16.08 Interpretation of Regulations
16.08.010 Purpose of chapter.
This chapter provides rules for resolving questions about the meaning or applicability of any part of this Development Code. The provisions of this chapter are intended to ensure the consistent interpretation and application of the provisions of this Development Code and the General Plan.
16.08.020 Rules of interpretation.
A. Authority. The Community Development Director shall have the responsibility and authority to interpret the meaning and applicability of all provisions and requirements of this Development Code, subject to appeal to the Planning Commission in compliance withpursuant to Chapter 16.100 (Appeals).
B. Language.
1. Abbreviated Titles and Phrases. For the purpose of brevity, and unless otherwise indicated, the following phrases, names of personnel and decisionmaking bodies are shortened in this Development Code. The City of Stockton is referred to hereafter as the “City.” The Community Development Department is referred to as the “Department.” The Community Development Director is referred to as the “Director.” The City Council is referred to as the “Council.” The Planning Commission is referred to as the “Commission.” The Development Review Committee is referred to as the “DRC” and the Architectural Review Committee is referred to as the “ARC.” The State of California is referred to as the “State,” and the County of San Joaquin is referred to as the “County.” The City of Stockton Municipal Code is referred to as “the Municipal Code.” The California Subdivision Map Act is referred to as the “Map Act.”
2. Terminology. When used in this Development Code, the words “shall,” “will,” “is to,” and “are to” are always mandatory. “Should” and “encourage” are not mandatory but are strongly recommended; “may” is permissive. The present tense includes the past and future tenses; and the future tense includes the present. The singular number includes the plural number, and the plural the singular, unless the natural construction of the word indicates otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” mean “including but not limited to . . .”. The terms “amend,” “modify,” and “revise,” all mean “to change.” The term “waive” means “to eliminate a requirement.” The use of the word “approval” includes approval with conditions. The use of the words “appropriate” or “applicable” means “as 1039
ATTACHMENT B – Proposed Title 16 Amendments (Redline/Strikeout) 8 determined by the applicable Review Authority, or if not identified, by the Director.” The word “structure” includes “buildings and/or structures.”
3. Number of Days. Whenever a number of days is specified in this Development Code, or in any permit, condition of approval, or notice issued or given as provided in this Development Code, the number of days shall be calendar days, unless business days are specified. Time limits will extend to the following business day where the last of the specified number of days falls on a day that the City is not open for business, except as otherwise provided for by the Map Act.
4. State Law Requirements. Where this Development Code references applicable provisions of State law (for example, the California Government Code, Map Act, Public Resources Code, etc.), the reference shall be interpreted to be the applicable State law provisions as they may be amended from time to time.
C. Calculations—Rounding. Where provisions of this Development Code require calculations to determine applicable requirements, any fractional/decimal results of the calculations shall be rounded as provided by this Subsection. For example, the provision of RH zoning district, which allows a parcel to be developed with 29 dwellings for each net acre of site area, requires determining the number of acres in the site, and multiplying the site area by 29 to determine the number of dwellings allowed.
1. General Rounding. Fractions of one-half (0.5) or greater shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number and fractions of less than one-half (0.5) shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, except as otherwise provided.
2. Exception for State Affordable Housing Density Bonus. The calculation of fractions related to permitted bonus density units for projects eligible for bonus density pursuant to Government Code Section 65915 or any successor statute and Chapter 16.40 (Affordable Housing Incentives/Density Bonus), any fractional number of units shall be rounded up to the next whole number.
1. Minimum Lot Area and Number of Lots. The fractional/decimal results of calculations of the number of parcels allowed through subdivision based on a minimum lot area requirement shall be rounded down to the next lowest whole number. For example, the RL zoning district minimum lot area requirement of 5,000 square feet net would allow division of a 21,000 square foot lot into four (4) lots.
Example: 21,000 sq. ft./ 5,000 sq. ft. = 4.2 lots, rounded down to 4 lots
2. Residential Density. When the number of housing units allowed on a site are calculated based on density limits established by a zoning district, any fraction of a unit shall be rounded down to the next lowest whole number. For example, the RH zoning district allows 29 dwelling units per net acre of site area; a site of 8,500 1040
ATTACHMENT B – Proposed Title 16 Amendments (Redline/Strikeout) 9 square feet would be allowed five (5) dwelling units (du). Definitions of “DensityNet” and “Density-Gross” can be found in Chapter 16.240 (Glossary).
Example: 8,500 sq. ft. / 43,560 sq. ft. = 0.195 acres;
0.195 acres x 29 du/acre = 5.65 du, rounded down to 5 du
3. All Other Calculations. For all calculations required by this Development Code other than those described in subsections (C)(1) and (C)(2) of this section, the fractional/decimal results of calculations shall be rounded to the next highest whole number when the fraction/decimal is 0.5 or more, and to the next lowest whole number when the fraction is less than 0.5.
D. Conflicting Requirements. Any conflicts between different requirements of this Development Code, or between this Development Code and other regulations, shall be resolved as follows:
1. State and Federal Provisions. In the event of conflict, Federal and State of California regulations shall preempt the provisions of this Development Code.
1.2. Development Code Provisions.

2.3. Development Agreements, Master Development Plan, Precise Road Plans, or Specific Plans. In the event of any conflict between the requirements of this Development Code and standards adopted as part of any development agreement, master development plan, precise road plan, or specific plan, planned development permit, the requirements of the development agreement, master development plan, planned development permit, approved planned unit residential development (PURD), or specific plan shall control.
3.4. Municipal Code Provisions. In the event of any conflict between requirements of this Development Code and other regulations of the City, the most restrictive requirement shall control.
4.5. Mitigation Measures. In the event of any conflict between the requirements of this Development Code and mitigation measures adopted as part of a certified environmental impact report or approved negative declaration, the mitigation 1041
ATTACHMENT B – Proposed Title 16 Amendments (Redline/Strikeout) 10 measures shall control, unless an amendment is requested by the Applicant and that amendment is approved by the City and/or Responsible Agencies in charge of the mitigation enforcement.
5.6. Private Agreements. This Development Code and its requirements shall not interfere with, repeal, abrogate, or annul any easement, covenant, or other agreement that existed at the time, or was entered into after, the ordinance codified in this Development Code became effective. This Development Code applies to all land uses and development in the City regardless of whether a private agreement or restriction imposes a greater or lesser restriction on the development or use of a structure or land. If a requirement of this Development Code is more restrictive, this Development Code shall apply; this Development Code, however, does not affect the applicability of any agreement or restriction. The City shall not enforce any private covenant or agreement unless it is a party to that covenant or agreement.
E. Unlisted Uses of Land. If a proposed use of land is not specifically listed in Table 2-2 (Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements) the use shall not be allowed, except as provided below for similar uses:
1. Director’s Determination. The Director may determine that a proposed use not listed in Table 2-2 may be allowed as a permitted or conditional use, in compliance with Instructions for interpretation requests (Section 16.08.030). In making this determination, the Director shall first find that:
a. The characteristics of, and activities associated with, the proposed use are equivalent to those of one or more of the uses listed in the zoning district as allowable, and will not involve a greater level of activity, population density, traffic generation, parking, dust, noise, or intensity than the uses listed in the zoning district;
b. The proposed use will meet the purpose/intent of the zoning district that is applied to the site; and
c. The proposed use will be consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan and any applicable master development plan or specific plan.
2. Applicable Standards and Permit Requirements. When the Director determines that a proposed but unlisted use is equivalent to a listed use, the proposed use will be treated in the same manner as the listed use in determining where the use is allowed, what permits are required, and what other standards and requirements of this Development Code apply.

This chapter identifies the uses of land that may be allowed within each of the zoning districts established by Section 16.16.020 (Zoning districts established), and establishes a land use permit requirement for each allowable use.
16.20.020 Allowable land uses and permit requirements.
Table 2-2 sets the land use regulations for the base zoning district. Land uses are defined in Chapter 16.250 (Use Classifications). In cases where a specific land use or activity is not defined, the Director shall assign the land use or activity that is substantially similar in character. Land use not listed in the table and not substantially similar to the uses listed are prohibited. Section numbers in the right-hand column refer to other sections of this Code. Numbers in parentheses refer to specific limitations listed at the end of the table.
A. Requirements for Primary Uses. Table 2-2 identifies the primary land uses for each zoning district, except the MX and UC zoning districts. It identifies whether the use is allowed or not allowed, and indicates which land use permit would be required, if necessary, to authorize the use. Building permits or other permits may also be required by the Municipal Code. The land uses identified in Table 2-2 are defined in Division 8 (Glossary).
1. Permit Requirements for Primary Uses. The permitting requirements identified in Table 2-2 are:

d. Commission Use Permit (C). All land uses shown with a “C” in the tables are allowed subject to the approval of a commission use permit (Chapter
16.172). If there is an existing use permit for the use and there will be no new construction or expansion of an existing facility, no new use permit shall be required.
e. Not Allowed (Empty Box in Table). All land uses shown with an empty box in the table are not allowed in the applicable zoning district. f. Not Allowed, Except Under Special Circumstances (E). All land uses shown with an “E” on the table are not allowed in the applicable zoning district, except under the special circumstances identified in the specific use standards in Division 3.
2. Uses With Specific Standards. All uses, regardless of the type of permit that may be required, shall comply with all applicable provisions of this Development Code.
In addition, if there is a section number in the last column of the table (“Specific Use Standards”), the use is also subject to the referenced provisions.
3. Multiple Uses on a Single Site. Where a proposed project includes multiple land uses, and more than one type of land use permit is required, the most restrictive land use permit shall apply for all land uses.
4. Changes to an Approved Project. Changes to an approved project that required a land use permit shall be subject to the requirements of Chapter 16.104 (Changes to an Approved Project).
5. Uses Not Listed. Land uses that are not listed in Table 2-2 are not allowed, except as otherwise provided by Section 16.08.020(E) (Rules of interpretation—Allowable uses of land).
B.A. Allowable Uses and Permit Requirements for the MX, UC and PT Districts. The uses of land that may be allowed within the MX, UC and PT zoning districts and the land use permit requirements for each allowable use shall be identified in the master development plan applicable to the specific site, in compliance with Chapter 16.140 (Master Development Plans) and the Rough and Ready Island Development Plan for the Port of Stockton, CA for the PT zoning district (as applicable).
