WHEREAS, pursuant to Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 4, Article 2, Section 65860 of the Government Code of the State of California, the City of Victorville Zoning Ordinance shall be amended to be consistent with the General Plan within reasonable time; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 4, Article 2, Section 65583(c)(1)(A) of the Government Code of the State of California, the City of Victorville has until February 9th, 2025, to adopt the rezone of properties outlined in the Housing Element of the General Plan; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 16-2.01.020 of the Victorville Municipal Code, the City of Victorville Planning Department has initiated an amendment to the Victorville Municipal Code in order to modify Title 16 of the Victorville Municipal Code (the “Development Code”) in a manner consistent with the Land Use and Housing Elements of the General Plan by updating development standards, implementing new zone districts and overlay districts, updating the City’s Zoning Map, and making other associated adjustments to land use allowances, definitions, and requirements; and

WHEREAS, Pursuant to Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 4, Article 2 of the Government Code, State of California and Section 16-2.01.040 of a Victorville Municipal Code, the Victorville Planning Commission held a public hearing on December 13th, 2023, to hear arguments for and against the proposed amendments to the Development Code and; after hearing all testimony offered; the Victorville Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. P-23-028, which recommended to the City Council the adoption of Municipal Code amendments specified in Planning Case No. PLAN23-00025; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the City of Victorville took previous action to initiate compliance with the Housing Element rezone requirements outlined by Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 4, Article 2, Section 65583(c)(1)(A) of the Government Code of the State of California by adopting an updated Land Use Element of the General Plan on December 20, 2022; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that certain sections of the Development Code must be updated to maintain consistency with the Land Use Element of the General Plan; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the proposed Development Code amendment will amend the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Victorville in compliance with Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 4, Article 2, Sections 65860 and 65583(c)(1)(A) of the Government Code of the State of California and maintain consistency with the Land Use Element of the General Plan; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the proposed Development Code amendments not otherwise associated with addressing the recently adopted Land Use or Housing Elements of the General Plan are necessary to organize and clarify the enforcement of the Development Code, and provide expanded opportunities for additional land use allowances within the City of Victorville in order to support business growth and promote tax revenue generating activities; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the City Council Policy on Interim Use Permit Regulations (CP-11-05) is no longer needed given the proposed amendments included in the proposal relating to similar uses; and

WHEREAS, Pursuant to Title 7, Division I, Chapter 4, Article 2 of the Government Code of the State of California and Section 16-2.01.060 of the Victorville Municipal Code, a duly noticed Public Hearing was held by the City Council on the 16th day of January, 2024 to hear arguments for and against the code amendments, and after hearing all verbal and written testimony offered, including the Planning Commission’s recommendation and minutes, and after thoroughly reviewing and considering the code amendments, the City Council approved the recommendation of the Planning Commission; and

Article 7: Land Use and Special Requirements
Sec. 16-3.07.010: Permitted and conditional land uses—All zoning districts *Addition/Change*
Land and facilities shall only be developed, divided and/or used for those activities listed in Table 7-1 (Permitted, Conditional, Accessory and Temporary Land Uses - All Districts). Table 7-1 establishes uses that are permitted, conditionally permitted or not permitted within each Zoning District established by Article 6 (Zoning Districts and Boundaries) of this Chapter. Article 2 of this Chapter describes the procedures required to obtain a Conditional Use Permit.

The designation "P" means that the use is permitted in the particular Zoning District as long as all other zoning district and special criteria requirements are met. The designation "C" means that a Conditional Use Permit must first be granted by the Zoning Administrator or Planning Commission before the use is allowed in a particular district. Those uses designated with a dash (-) are not permitted within that zoning district. Those primary uses not listed are prohibited unless a determination is made by the Zoning Administrator that the proposed use is similar based on the similarity of the subject use to one of the uses listed within a subject district, and as such are considered a similar use, as defined in this Title, and are permitted or conditionally permitted based upon the nature of use. Those accessory uses not listed are prohibited unless a determination is made by the Zoning Administrator that the accessory use is ancillary to the primary use, and as such are permitted or conditionally permitted based upon the nature of use and the primary use it serves. Any use which violates local, state or federal laws is also prohibited.

No land use shall be permitted that is not consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan. A land use is consistent with the General Plan if, considering all of its aspects, it is found to further the objectives and policies of the General Plan. Appeals of land use determinations shall be as provided in Article 2 (Appeals) of Chapter 2 of this Title.

All uses, unless due to the nature of the use, shall be conducted in a completely enclosed building.

Specific land uses within the table are grouped under the following major headings:

Article 8: Residential Districts
Sec. 16-3.08.010: General purpose and intent *Change/Deletion* (b) The purpose of each residential zoning district is as follows:
(1) The AE (Exclusive Agriculture) zoning district is intended to provide protection for agricultural areas from urban development or residential subdivision, and to serve as an open space area around the more intensive urban uses of the City. (2) The A (Agricultural-Residential) zoning district is intended to provide areas primarily for rural or estate-type living, but allowing certain agricultural pursuits to be maintained on land parcels of at least one acre.
(3) (2) The S-R (Suburban Residential) zoning district is intended to provide for the development of large residential lots that have the combined attributes of a rural and urban environment.
(4)(3)The R-1 (Single-Family Residential) zoning district is intended to protect established neighborhoods of single-family dwellings and to provide space for suitable locations for additional developments of this kind, with appropriate community facilities. R-1 districts may be divided into several density categories, and the suffix number shall indicate a minimum lot area in each density class. Single-family residential districts are intended to correlate with the low-density residential designation expressed by the general plan which allows up to five dwelling units per gross residential acre. (5)(4)The R-2 (Low-Medium Density Residential) zoning district is intended to provide areas for the development of multiple-family dwellings at low-medium densities, as stipulated in the land use element of the General Plan, of up to eight twelve dwelling units per gross residential acre.
(6)(5)The R-3 (High Medium Density Residential) zoning district is intended to protect established neighborhoods of such dwellings and to provide suitable space in appropriate locations for additional housing developments of this kind, such as garden apartments, townhouses, duplexes and similar dwellings, including condominium developments. The high-density category depicted by the General Plan, which provides up to fifteen twenty dwelling units per gross residential acre, is intended to guide development for this district.
(7)(6)The R-4 (Very High Density Residential) zoning district is intended to protect established neighborhoods of such dwellings and to provide suitable space in appropriate locations for additional housing developments of this kind, such as garden apartments, townhouses, duplexes and similar dwellings, including condominium developments. The very-high-density category depicted by the General Plan, which provides up to twenty thirty dwelling units per gross residential acre, is intended to guide development for this district.
(8) The MU (Mixed Use) zoning district is intended to facilitate well integrated multi-family and commercial developments, located adjacent to or on top of retail development.

Permitted mix of uses: multi-family up to a density of sixty dwelling units per gross acre, retail, office, civic, open space and other similar uses as defined through the Specific Plan or Planned Unit Development process.
(9)(7)The R-MPD (Residential Mobile Home Planned Development) zoning district is intended to provide for the development of subdivisions to be occupied primarily by residential mobile homes. R-MPD districts are intended to correlate with the low density residential

designation of the General Plan land use element which allows a maximum residential density of five dwelling units per gross residential acre. (10)(8)The MDR (Mixed Density Residential) zoning district is intended to protect established neighborhoods of mixed-density dwellings and to facilitate single-family infill development in the event that extraordinary developmental constraints, such as a lack of required sewer infrastructure, make the continued development of the permitted high- density uses impractical or infeasible. Mixed-density residential districts are intended to correlate with the mixed density residential designation expressed by the General Plan that allows up to fifteen dwelling units per gross residential acre. {Remainder of Section remains unchanged.}
Sec. 16-3.08.020: Development standards *Addition/Change* Tables 8-1 and 8-2 summarize development standards for all residential districts.

Sec. 16-3.09.080: Design Guidelines *Addition*
These design guidelines are intended to supplement the Multi-family design guidelines and Commercial design guidelines outlined in Articles 8 and 10 of this Chapter. While the Multi-family design guidelines and Commercial design guidelines shall be utilized to facilitate stand-alone multi-family residential developments and stand-alone commercial developments independently, the noted design guidelines shall also be utilized to facilitate residential components and commercial components of mixed use development that incorporates both land uses. Mixed use development that includes both residential and commercial components shall also be subject to the following supplemental design goals, objectives, and principles. (a) Design goals. Mixed use developments are intended to promote creative mixes of commercial retail, office, housing, civic, institutional, and entertainment uses that vary in composition and intensity based upon location, accessibility, and the surrounding development context. These guidelines present common goals that encourage the

highest level of design quality while allowing maximum flexibility in the design of mixed use development that will:
(1) Encourage a variety of compatible residential and non-residential land uses in proximity, to create, or reactivate vibrant areas for living, working, shopping, and recreating;
(2) Provide flexibility to support changing land use trends; and (3) Emphasize design compatibility with existing development and proposed land uses, both in site planning and architectural design.
(b) Design objectives. The design of mixed use development projects in the City of Victorville shall:
(1) Respect the scale, proportion and character of the surrounding area; (2) Reinforce or establish a distinct architectural image; (3) Establish attractive, inviting, imaginative and functional site design; (4) Foster non-vehicular connectivity and integration between commercial and non- commercial uses;
(5) Facilitate and encourage pedestrian activity and mitigate adverse automotive patterns; (6) Enhance surrounding neighborhoods, existing development and the City as a whole; (7) Maintain a sense of harmony and proportion along street frontages and other portions of the development exposed to public view; and
(8) Preserve and incorporate historically, culturally, or architecturally significant buildings and themes into the development proposals where appropriate. (c) Design principles. Mixed use development shall incorporate the following design principles throughout the project site where appropriate:
(1) Connectivity and Interconnectivity.

Article 18: Slope Protection District Overlay Districts {Replace existing Slope Protection District with Overlay Districts as follows} Sec. 16-3.18.010: Purpose *Addition*
(a) Overlay districts are established to:
(1) Facilitate cohesive development within specific areas of the City where increased residential densities and land use allowances complement the built environment; (2) Develop a mix of land uses that allow a variety of residential, health and wellness, open space/recreational, and other supportive land uses that create opportunities to group appropriate land uses while seamlessly integrating with existing neighborhood and development;
(3) Promote development within underutilized or partially developed areas of the City in order to coordinate with existing development and provide complementary uses for the benefit of area residents;
(4) Encourage the establishment of housing development within certain areas of the City by allowing increased density that expands housing options; (5) Provide incentives for infill development within the core area of the City as well as areas located along circulation element designated roadways within the general plan; (6) Establish standards for new housing options and ensure new development is well integrated with existing development;
(7) Encourage flexibility of design in development by allowing both a vertical and/or horizontal mix of uses where appropriate and consistent with the general plan; (8) Promote linkages using a multi-modal circulation network, including transit, pedestrian sidewalks, paths and paseos, and bicycle and trail networks, to ensure safe, convenient access between uses that promotes physical activity and minimizes motorized vehicle use.
(b) The purpose of each overlay district is as follows:
(1)The LDRIO (Low Density Residential Infill Overlay) zoning district is intended to provide an increase in density to encourage infill development, promote the efficient use of existing infrastructure, and provide additional housing opportunities in the core area of the city for those desiring a detached single-family residential housing type but who are willing to have or want smaller lots, with appropriate community facilities. The Low Density Residential Overlay zone district allows up to nine dwelling units per gross residential acre and is intended to supplement the underlying R-1 (Single-Family Residential) zone district and the Low Density Residential designation expressed by the land use element of the general plan, which are cumulatively intended to guide development in the district. (2)The HWO (Health and Wellness Overlay) zoning district is intended to provide an opportunity to integrate land uses and design principles that promote health, wellness, equity and associated multi-family housing development with a density of up to 30 units per acre for health care workers, seniors, and others who would benefit from health and wellness related development. The Health and Wellness Overlay zone district is intended to supplement the underlying C-2 (General Commercial) and MU-2 (High Density Mixed Use) zone districts in conjunction with the Commercial and Mixed Use 2 land use designations of the general plan, which are cumulatively intended to guide development in the district.

Sec. 16-3.18.020: Application *Addition*

Sec. 16-3.18.080: Design Guidelines *Addition*
These design guidelines are intended to supplement the Single-Family Residential, Mixed Use, and Commercial design guidelines outlined in Articles 8, 9 and 10 of this Chapter. While the Single-Family Residential, Mixed Use, and Commercial design guidelines shall be utilized to facilitate developments within Overlay Districts independently when a planned unit development is not otherwise required, these supplemental Overlay District design guidelines shall be utilized when a planned unit development is required to utilize the maximum allowances provided by the subject Overlay District pursuant to Section 16-3.18.060 of this article. Development within Overlay Districts that utilizes or requires the establishment of a planned unit development pursuant to this article shall also be subject to the following supplemental design goals, objectives, and principles.
(a) Design goals. Developments within Overlay Districts are intended to promote increased residential densities and provide creative mixes of commercial, professional, residential, and health and wellness related uses that vary in composition and intensity based upon location, accessibility, and the surrounding built environment. These guidelines present common goals that encourage the highest level of design quality while allowing maximum flexibility in the design of development within Overlay Districts that will:
(1) Encourage a variety of compatible residential and non-residential land uses in close proximity to existing or ancillary land uses to complement existing development and surrounding zoning designations;
(2) Provide opportunities to incorporate health and wellness uses, recreational amenities, and open space into new development; and
(3) Emphasize design compatibility with existing development and proposed land uses in site planning, architectural design, and building scale. (b) Design objectives. The design of development projects within Overlay Districts shall:
(1) Respect the scale, proportion and character of the surrounding area; (2) Reinforce or establish a distinct architectural image; (3) Establish attractive, inviting, imaginative and functional project design; (4) Foster non-vehicular connectivity and integration within the neighborhood and between commercial and non-commercial uses;
(5) Facilitate and encourage pedestrian and recreational activity and mitigate adverse automotive patterns;
(6) Enhance surrounding neighborhoods, existing development and the City as a whole; (7) Maintain a sense of harmony and proportion along street frontages and other portions of the project accessible by the public or exposed to public view; and (8) Preserve and incorporate historically, culturally, or architecturally significant buildings and themes into the development proposals where appropriate. (c) Design principles. Development within Overlay Districts shall incorporate the following design principles throughout the project site where appropriate:
(1) Connectivity and Interconnectivity. Development within overlay districts shall be designed to provide connectivity within the project site as well as interconnectivity to surrounding developments and neighborhoods/corridors. Non-vehicular and vehicular

modes of transportation shall also be considered equally when designing project circulation patterns.
(2) Shared facilities. Required facilities such as recreational amenities, gathering spaces, landscaping, drainage facilities and shared parking should be designed and integrated throughout the site to be utilized by all tenants, patrons, and visitors to the site. (3) Coordinated architectural design. Architectural design should reflect a style that characterizes or complements the predominant area style or theme, as applicable.

The architectural style or theme of a development within an overlay district should be consistent throughout a project, however, variation in color schemes, design details, massing and scale are acceptable when continuity is consistent throughout the development.
