2 PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT
1. Construction of Improvements. The Principal agrees to construct and install public improvements on Jana Lane at the Principal’s own cost and expense - said improvements shown on the offsite improvement plans submitted by Principal and approved by the City as referenced and contained within this Public Improvement Agreement (“Required Improvements”). Prior to commencing any work, Principal shall, at its sole cost and expense, obtain all necessary permits and approvals and give all necessary and incidental notices required for the lawful construction of the Required Improvements and performance of Principal’s obligations under this Agreement. The Required Improvements shall be constructed in accordance with all approved plans, specifications, standard drawings, and special amendments thereto on file with City, as well as all applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, regulations, codes, standards, and other requirements applicable at the time work is actually commenced.
Principal shall complete the construction of the Required Improvements within twelve months of the date of this Agreement.
a. Standard of Performance. Principal and its contractors, if any, shall perform all work required to construct the Required Improvements under this Agreement in a skillful and workmanlike manner, and consistent with the standards generally recognized as being employed by professionals in the same discipline in the State of California. Principal represents and maintains that it or its contractors shall be skilled in the professional calling necessary to perform the work. Principal warrants that all of its employees and contractors shall have sufficient skill and experience to perform the work assigned to them, and that they shall have all licenses, permits, qualifications and approvals of whatever nature that are legally required to perform the work, and that such licenses, permits, qualifications and approvals shall be maintained throughout the term of this Agreement.
b. Alterations to Improvements. All work shall be done and improvements made and completed as shown on approved plans and specifications, and any subsequent alterations thereto. If during the course of construction and installation of the Required Improvements it is determined that the public interest requires alterations in the Required Improvements, Developer shall undertake such design and construction changes as may be reasonably required by City. Any and all alterations in the plans and specifications and the Required Improvements to be completed may be accomplished without giving prior notice thereof to Developer’s surety for this Agreement.
c. Fees and Charges. Principal shall, at its sole cost and expense, pay all fees, charges, and taxes arising out of construction of the Required Improvements, including, but not limited to, all plan check, design review, engineering, inspection, and other service fees, and any impact or connection fees established by City ordinance, resolution, regulation, or policy, or as established by City or as required by other governmental agencies having jurisdiction over the Required Improvements.
2. Commencement of Work. The Principal shall notify the City Engineer of the commencement of work on the Required Improvements.
3. Completion of Improvements. Upon satisfactory completion of all 3 PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT

4. Title to Required Improvements. The City shall not accept the Required Improvements unless they are constructed in conformity with the approved plans and specifications, approved modifications, if any, and City Improvement Standards and Specifications, to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. Until such time as the Required Improvements are accepted by the City, Principal shall retain title and shall be responsible for, and bear the risk of loss to, any of the improvements constructed or installed. Title to and ownership of the Required Improvements shall vest absolutely in the City upon completion and acceptance in writing of such Required Improvements by City.

Upon the acceptance of the Required Improvements by City, Principal shall file with the Recorder’s Office of the County of Riverside a notice of completion for the accepted Required Improvements in accordance with Article 2 of Chapter 4 of Title 2 of Part 6 of Division 4 of the Civil Code, at which time the accepted Required Improvements shall become the sole and exclusive property of City without payment therefor.
b. City Acceptance of Public Improvements. Issuance by City of occupancy permits for any buildings or structures located on the Property shall not be construed in any manner to constitute City’s acceptance or approval of any Required Improvements.
c. Developer’s Obligation to Provide As-Built or Record Drawings.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, City may not accept any Required Improvements unless and until Principal provides one (1) set of “as-built” or record drawings or plans to the City Engineer for all such Required Improvements. The drawings shall be certified and shall reflect the condition of the Required Improvements as constructed, with all changes incorporated therein.
5. Extension of Time to Complete Improvements.

b. Requests for extension of the completion date shall be in writing and delivered to the City Engineer in the manner hereinafter specified for service of notices. An extension of time, if any, shall be granted only in writing, and an oral extension shall not be valid or binding on the City.
4 PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT
c. In the event the City Engineer extends the time of completion of the Required Improvements, such extension may be granted without notice by the City to the Principal’s surety and shall in no way release any guarantee or security given by the Principal pursuant to this Agreement, or relieve or release those providing an improvement security pursuant to this Agreement. The surety or sureties, if any, in executing the securities shall be deemed to have expressly agreed to any such extension of time.
d. In granting any extension of time, the City may require new or amended improvement security to reflect increases in the estimated costs of constructing the Required Improvements or impose other conditions to protect its interests and ensure the timely completion of the Required Improvements.
6. Inspection. Principal shall at all times maintain proper facilities and safe access for inspection of the Required Improvements by City and to the shops wherein any work is in preparation.

All such work or remedial activity shall be at the sole and absolute cost, expense, and liability of Principal and its surety, without the necessity of giving any further notice to Principal or surety.

Wildomar Zoning Consistency Program Page 2
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The Planning Commission reviewed the Change of Zone No. 2021- 01 ( Zoning Consistency Program) at its December 1, 2021 meeting. Staff provided a detailed power point presentation, including background information about the program and staff’s work effort to bring this important project forward for Commission and Council review. There were 3 public speakers in support of the project.
Comments from the Commission were very supportive, and they expressed an understanding how important the proposed zone changes are and the benefits to property owners (and applicant’s) moving forward. After Commission deliberations, they voted 4- 0-1 (Strong Absent) to adopt PC Resolutions No. 2021- 28 and 2021-09 recommending City Council approval of the Zoning Consistency Program.
BACKGROUND:
In 2003, the County of Riverside (County) adopted a comprehensive update to its General Plan (RCIP), which included the unincorporated Wildomar community . At the time of adoption, the County planned to initiate a zoning consistency program to rezone all land in Wildomar to be consistent with the newly adopted General Plan update. However, the County never completed the effort. Just prior to incorporation, the County Board of Supervisors adopted a new land use map/plan (GPA 884 in 2007) for Wildomar community that went through extensive public participation and review. Again, the County was unable to prepare a zoning consistency program for the new land use map.
Upon incorporation o n July 1, 2008, the City Council adopted the R iverside County General Plan with all its county-wide goals and policies. This includes the 2007 land use map. At this time, the City also inherited a zoning map and all its zoning designations from the County. Since the County was unable to initiate a zoning consistency program, the City basically inherited a significant number of parcels that had inconsistent zoning designations.
After incorporation, the County no longer had land use jurisdiction in the City , and because of fiscal challenges and nearly constant legal challenges, the City was unable to begin its own Zoning Consistency Program. However, the City recently received a large SB 2 grant from the state Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) which now gives the city the ability to prepare this Zoning Consistency Program. Our aim is to ensure that each property in the city has a zoning district that aligns with the General Plan land use designation, and addresses technical issues, such as map errors.
As the Council knows, each property in Wildomar has a general plan land use designation and a corresponding zoning district (e.g., Residential, Commercial, Industrial) as illustrated on the City’s official Zoning Map. Currently , each property owner in the city requesting development on a parcel that has a discrepancy between the General Plan Land Use Map and the Zoning Map must concurrently process a Change of Zone to accommodate their development proposal. This adds complexity and cost to every development project.
Change of Zone No. 2021-01 January 12, 2022
Wildomar Zoning Consistency Program Page 3
ANALYSIS:
As part of the work to complete the zoning consistency update, PlaceWorks conducted a geographic information system (GIS) data analysis of inconsistencies between the City’s current Zoning Map and the General Plan Land Use Map. Additionally, property owner outreach and field verification were used to create a table and map of parcels that are eligible for rezoning. Thereafter, the City held meetings with Council Members in each district to evaluate which parcels were suitable for rezoning based on the preliminary analyses.
The City also sent individualized notice letters to landowners affected by the rezoning to give them information on the project, including an interactive online map showing all affected parcels, and ask whether they were in favor or opp osition to the change. The City received 19 calls and 12 emails in favor of rezoning, and 2 calls and 5 emails against rezoning. All remaining landowners that received notices were in favor of rezoning. The landowners in opposition to this change were still given consideration as part of the overall project. As a result , 259 parcels were recommended to move forward with the zoning consistency update.
The proposed project will align the zoning districts for 259 parcels as shown on the City Zoning Map with t he General Plan land use designations shown on the Land Use Map.
The proposed changes are consistent with the General Plan as evaluated in the General Plan EIR. The zoning districts that will be applied to the properties identified for rezoning include the following:
• R-2 Multiple-Family Dwellings (refer to Chapter 17.36 of the Municipal Code) • R-3 General Residential (refer to Chapter 17.44 of the Municipal Code) • R-5 Open Area Combined Zone (refer to Chapter 17.64 of the Municipal Code) • R-R Rural Residential (refer to Chapter 17.16 of the Municipal Code) • C-1/C-P General Commercial (refer to Chapter 17.72 of the Municipal Code) • C-P-S Scenic Highway Commercial (refer to Chapter 17.76 of the Municipal Code) • I-P Industrial Park (refer to Chapter 17.88 of the Municipal Code) • M-SC Manufacturing Service Commercial (refer to Chapter 17.92 of the Municipal Code)
The recommended zoning changes will not change the existing land use pattern, as established by the General Plan land use map. While the change in zone district for the affected parcels will change the allowable uses, the development potential and physical impacts are already addressed for similarly designated and zoned properties in the City.
Further, development policies such as the development c ode and engineering design standards, apply to all development in every zone district and are both consistent with, and designed to achieve the goals of the General Plan and the support the conclusions in the EIR.
Change of Zone No. 2021-01 January 12, 2022
Wildomar Zoning Consistency Program Page 4
SB 166 “No Net Loss”
Government Code Section 65863 requires that the City ensure that changes to the general plan land use designation or zone district do not affect the inventory of sites identified in the Housing Element . None of the sites identified for rezoning are reducing the density from the numbers anticipated in the Housing Element. Two sites identified in the proposed project are also identified in Table HNA -24 of the 2021 – 2029 Housing Element. These include APNs 380 -270-015 and 380- 290-016. APN 380-270-015 is currently zoned R -R (Rural Residential) which would allow for 1 unit; the proposed rezoning is R-2 ( Multiple-Family Dwellings) and would allow for 22 units. APN 380-290- 016 is currently zoned R-R (Rural Residential) which would allow for 1 unit; the proposed rezoning is R-3 (General Residential) and would allow for 38 units.
Combined, the rezoning of these properties would increase the number of units currently allowed in the zoning to a total of 60 units. As the proposed project does not change the land use designation the change in zoning does not increase the amount of housing already allowed by the General Plan.
SB 330 Housing Accountability Act
In addition to SB 166, Government Code Section 66300(b) (SB 330) places the following restriction on the City’s ability to rezone property.
66300(b) (1): Notwithstanding any other law except as provided in subdivision (i), with respect to land where housing is an allowable use, an affected county or an affected city shall not enact a development policy, standard, or condition that would have any of the following effects:
(A) Changing the general plan land use designation, specific plan land use designation, or zoning of a parcel or parcels of property to a less intensive use or reducing the intensity of land use within an existing general plan land use designation, specific plan land use designation, or zoning district below what was allowed under the land use designation and zoning ordinances of the affected county or affected city, as applicable, as in effect on January 1, 2018, except as otherwise provided in clause (ii) of subparagraph (B). For purposes of this subparagraph, “less intensive use” includes, but is not limited to, reductions to height, density, or floor area ratio, new or increased open space or lot size requirements, or new or increased setback requirements, minimum frontage requirements, or maximum lot coverage limitations, or anything that would lessen the intensity of housing.
None of the rezone sites included in the proposed project would result in fewer housing units than can currentl y be provided in the C ity. Currently, the 259 parcels allow for a total of 863 housing units (i.e., 3.3 persons/household). Rezoning these parcels would increase the number of allowable units for a total of 927 units which represents an increase of 64 housing units. The 259 parcels proposed for rezoning will align with the underlying General Plan land use designations. Where these land use designations do not allow housing to be developed, the prohibitions of SB 330 do not apply. Parcels
Change of Zone No. 2021-01 January 12, 2022
Wildomar Zoning Consistency Program Page 5
rezoned from residential to commercial and industrial uses to comply with the land use designations of the General Plan are not considered land where housing is an allowable use. Furthermore, the Zoning Consistency u pdate does not impact residential capacity in the cit y because housing would not be allowed for development on sites where residential zoning is inconsistent with the General Plan Land Use Map.
Further, Government Code 65589.5(j)(4) states:
(4) For purposes of this section, a proposed housing development project is not inconsistent with the applicable zoning standards and criteria, and shall not require a rezoning, if the housing development project is consistent with the objective general plan standards and criteria but the zoning for the project site is inconsistent with the general plan. If the local agency has complied with paragraph (2), the local agency may require the proposed housing development project to comply with the objective standards and criteria of the zoning which is consistent with the general plan, however, the standards and criteria shall be applied to facilitate and accommodate development at the density allowed on the site by the general plan and proposed by the proposed housing development project.
As a result, even if the proposed project is denied, landowners may be able to rely upon the General Plan land use designation for housing projects.
CEQA DETERMINATION:
Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 through 15164 set forth the criteria for determining whether a subsequent EIR, subsequent negative declaration, or addendum should be prepared in support of further agency action on the project. In determining whether an addendum is the appropriate document to analyze the modifications to the project as a result of approving a Change of Zone No. 2021-01 (Zoning Consistency Program), CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 (Addendum to an EIR or Negative Declaration) states, “The lead agency or a responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred.” Under the CEQA Guidelines, a subsequent EIR or negative declaration is to be prepared if any of the following criteria are met.
(a) When an EIR has been certified or negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;
Change of Zone No. 2021-01 January 12, 2022
Wildomar Zoning Consistency Program Page 6
The proposed project will align the zoning districts as shown on the City Zoning Map with the General Plan land use designations shown on the Land Use Map. The proposed changes are consistent with the General Plan as evaluated in the General Plan EIR and adopted by the City upon incorporation. Consequently, the chang es to zoning districts would not change the conclusions of the EIR and would not require revisions to the General Plan EIR due to new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
(2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or
The General Plan was adopted on July 1, 2008. Since that time, the City has not changed the existing city boundaries , or adopted a new General Plan. The project does not propose any annexation of land, nor does it increase the intensity of development beyond that previously identified in the General Plan EIR. No substantial changes in the physical or regulatory environment have occurred since certification of the General Plan EIR.
(3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the negative declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
(A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration;
The policies and mitigation measures identified in the General Plan EIR would continue to apply to all development in the city and would have the same mitigating effect as disclosed in the General Plan EIR. There is no new information that was not known and could not have been known at the time the General Plan EIR was certified demonstrating that the project would have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR. Therefore, no new impacts would occur as a result of future development. Because a development project must be consistent with the General Plan, zoning, and development standards of the City, the resulting impacts would be the same as those disclosed in the certified General Plan EIR.
(B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR;
The proposed project would have the same significant impacts as those disclosed in the General Plan EIR. The General Plan policies and mitigation measures identified in the General Plan EIR to reduce physical environmental effects would apply to all new development, including parcels rezoned as part of this project. These policies and mitigation measures would have the same mitigating effect as disclosed in the General
Change of Zone No. 2021-01 January 12, 2022
Wildomar Zoning Consistency Program Page 7
Plan EIR. There is no new information that would demonstrate that significant effects examined would be substantially more severe than shown in t he certified General Plan EIR.
(C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt th e mitigation measure or
alternative; or
The proposed project will align the zoning districts on the City of Wildomar Zoning Map with the General Plan Land Use Map as evaluated by the General Plan EIR and adopted by the City upon incorporation. All policies and mitigation measures identified in the General Plan EIR would continue to apply to all development in the city and would have the same mitigating effect as disclosed in the General Plan EIR. The proposed project would not change the assumptions descri bed in the General Plan EIR, and therefore would not substantially change the conclusions of the EIR or require new mitigation measures.
(D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
The proposed project does not make any changes to the land use designations or map, and there is no need to modify the mitigation measures contained in the General Plan EIR.
(b) If changes to a project or its circumstances occur or new information becomes available after adoption of a negative declaration, the lead agency shall prepare a subsequent EIR if required under subdivision (a). Otherwise, the lead agency shall determine whether to prepare a subsequent negative declaration, and addendum, or no further documentation.
The proposed zoning changes would not result in an increase of developable acres or overall development intensity and the resulting impacts would be the same as those disclosed in the certified General Plan EIR. Therefore, no new mitigation measures or alternatives to the proposed project would be required.
REQUIRED CHANGE OF ZONE FINDING
In accordance with California Government Code, Section 65860 and Chapter 17.280 of the Wildomar Municipal Code, the following finding is offered for Council consideration in approving of Change of Zone No. 2021-01 (Zoning Consistency Program) to the City Council.
A. The proposed change of zone is consistent with the City of Wildomar General Plan.
Change of Zone No. 2021-01 January 12, 2022
Wildomar Zoning Consistency Program Page 8
Evidence: The proposed change of zone is consistent with the City of Wildomar General Plan in that the proposed project intends to change the existing zoning designation for 259 properties to match the existing General Plan l and use designations. Once the changes are approved and implemented, each of the goals and policies in the land use designation will be supported by the new zoning designations.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
The Zoning Consistency project will not have a fiscal impact on the city’s general fund.
The City received an SB 2 grant from the state Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) that will cover all costs associated with this project.
PUBLIC NOTICING:
In accordance with the Wildomar Municipal C ode, the Planning Department on January 1, 2022, published a legal notice in the Press Enterprise, a local newspaper of general circulation, notifying the general public of the public hearing for the proposed Zoning Change No. 2021-01 to be held on January 12, 2022. In addition, the Planning Department on December 29, 2021 sent individual public hearing notices to each of the 259 affected property owners notifying them of the January 12, 202 2 City Council meeting.

1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR
1.1 BACKGROUND
In 2003, the County of Riverside (County) adopted its General Plan and planned to initiate a Zoning Consistency Program to rezone all land in the area that became the City of Wildomar (City) to be consistent with the newly adopted General Plan. A Zoning Consistency Program aims to ensure that each property in the city has a zoning district that aligns with the General Plan land use designation, and addresses technical issues, such as map errors. The County did not complete the rezoning effort before the City incorporated on July 1, 2008. Upon incorporation the City adopted the Riverside County General Plan thereby inheriting several parcels with zoning that did not match the General Plan. As the County no longer had land use jurisdiction, and because of City fiscal challenges and nearly constant legal challenge during the first few years of the new City, the City of Wildomar (City) was unable to begin the Zoning Consistency Program.
Each property in Wildomar has a unique land use designation in the General Plan and a corresponding zoning district (e.g., Residential, Commercial, Industrial) illustrated on the City’s official Zoning Map. Currently, each property owner in the city requesting development on a parcel that has zoning that differs from the General Plan Land Use Map must process a Change of Zone to accommodate their development proposal. This adds complexity and cost to every development project and was a key reason why the SB-2 Grant was approved by the state.
In 2020 the City was awarded an SB -2 Grant from the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). One of the projects of the SB -2 Grant is for the City to complete the Zoning Consistency Program to bring properties into compliance with the General Plan.
This document serves as the environmental documentation for the City’s update to the Zoning Map to bring the identified parcels into compliance with the General Plan . This addendum to the General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR), certified on June 17, 2003 (State Clearinghouse Number 2002051143), demonstrates that the analysis in the General Plan EIR adequately addresses the potential physical impacts associated with implementation of the proposed project and that none of the conditions described in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Section 15162, exist and preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration is not necessary.
1.2 PURPOSE OF AN EIR ADDENDUM
According to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(a), an addendum shall be prepared if some changes or additions to a previously adopted EIR are necessary, but none of the conditions enumerated in CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162(a)(1) to (3) calling for the preparation of subsequent EIR have occurred. As stated in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 (Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations):
ADDENDUM TO THE GENERAL PLAN EIR FOR THE ZONING CONSISTENCY UPDATE
CITY OF WILDOMAR
1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR
When an EIR has been certified or negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or negative declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
(a) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration;
(b) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR;
(c) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (d) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
The proposed project would not trigger any of the conditions outlined in CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162(a)(1) to (3) because these changes would not result in new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects requiring major revisions to the General Plan EIR. The following analysis provides the substantial evidence required by CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(e) to support the finding that a subsequent EIR is not required and an addendum to the General Plan EIR is the appropriate environmental document to address changes to the project.
As stated in CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 (Addendum to an EIR):
(a) The lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred.

(b) An addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred. (c) An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the final EIR or adopted negative declaration.
(d) The decision-making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR or adopted negative declaration prior to making a decision on the project. (e) A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency's findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanation must be supported by substantial evidence.
A copy of this a ddendum, and all supporting documentation, may be reviewed or obtained at the City of Wildomar Planning Department, 23873 Clinton Keith Road, Wildomar, California 92595.
1.3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
As part of the work for this project, a geographic information system (GIS) data analysis of inconsistencies between the City’s current Zoning Map and the General Plan Land Use Map was conducted . Property owner outreach and field verification were used to create a table and map of parcels that are eligible for rezoning.
Thereafter, the City held meetings with Council Members of all districts to evaluate which parcels were suitable for rezoning based on the preliminary analyses. The City sent notice letters to landowners affected by the rezoning to ask whether they were in favor or opposition to the change. The City received 19 calls and 12 emails in favor of rezoning, and 2 calls and 5 emails against rezoning. The landowners in opposition to this change were removed from consideration. All remaining landowners that received notices were in favor of rezoning.
As a result, 259 parcels were recommended to move forward with the zoning consistency update. The results of the outreach, study, and verification process are shown in Tables 1 through 3, and Figures 1 through 3.
The proposed project would amend the City’s Zoning Map and adopt an ordinance that identifies the parcels being rezoned to be consistent with their existing General Plan land use designations shown on the Land Use Map. Figure 1 shows the land use designations of the parcels with inconsistent zoning districts. Figure 2 shows the existing zoning districts of those parcels. Figure 3 shows the proposed zoning districts of the parcels that will align their zoning districts with the General Plan land use designations.

The proposed changes are consistent with the General Plan as evaluated in the General Plan EIR. The zoning districts that will be applied to the properties identified for rezoning include the following:
• C-1/C-P General Commercial (refer to Chapter 17.72 of the Municipal Code) • C-P-S Scenic Highway Commercial (refer to Chapter 17.76 of the Municipal Code) • I-P Industrial Park (refer to Chapter 17.88 of the Municipal Code) • M-SC Manufacturing Service Commercial (refer to Chapter 17.92 of the Municipal Code) • R2 Multiple-Family Dwellings (refer to Chapter 17.36 of the Municipal Code) • R3 General Residential (refer to Chapter 17.44 of the Municipal Code) • R5 Open Area Combined Zone (refer to Chapter 17.64 of the Municipal Code) • RR Rural Residential (refer to Chapter 17.16 of the Municipal Code) As shown in Table 3.B of the General Plan EIR, the buildout projections are based on land use designations rather than zone districts. The City of Wildomar is part of the Elsinore Area Plan which was analyzed in the General Plan EIR. The land use designations identified in Table 1 are consistent with the land use designations identified in the buildout projections of the General Plan EIR and would remain unchanged as the propose d project intends to rezone properties and align the zoning districts with the General Plan land use designations.
A detailed summary of the properties identified for rezoning is provided in Appendix A to this Addendum.
The properties contain information r egarding the APN, acreage, council district, existing zoning district and General Plan Land Use designation, and proposed zoning district.
As shown in Table 1, 754.24 acres (259 parcels) were identified as having zoning that are not consistent with the overlying General Plan Designation. Of the total, 210 parcels are zoned (RR) Rural Residential district. Of these parcels, 123 are in the Commercial Retail General Plan land use designation and 54 are in the Business Park General Plan land use designation. Therefore, these parcels would be rezoned to the C-1/C-P and C-P-S zoning districts to reflect the General Plan land use designations . As shown in Table 2, the proposed zoning changes would not result in a net increase of developable acres compared to that analyzed in the General Plan EIR.
Table 3 shows that 754.24 acres (259 parcels) currently have a zoning designation for either commercial, industrial, or residential and would be rezoned to align with the General Plan Land Use map . Overall, the redesignations would increase non- residential zoning designations (i.e., commercial and industrial) by 432.1 acres and decrease residential zoning designations by 432.1 acres.
The zoning changes will not change the existing land use pattern, as established by the General Plan and evaluated in the General Plan EIR. The proposed project will change what is currently permitted on inconsistently zoned properties and bring them into compliance with the General Plan. While the change in zone district for the affected parcels will change the allowable uses, the development potential and impacts are already addressed for each zone district by the General Plan EIR. In most cases there are development standards for any new permitted use which are independent from CEQA review. However, development policies, programs, ordinances, and permits that define the development process would still apply.

1.4 GENERAL PLAN EIR
The General Plan EIR found that, with the implementation of policies and actions from the General Plan and mitigation measures identified in the EIR, there would be less than significant impacts related to cultural resources, energy, flood and dam inundation hazards, geology and soils, hazardous materials, mineral resources, noise, parks and recreation, and public services.
Table 4 below lists the significant and unavoidable impact determinations of the General Plan EIR and compares the resulting impacts of the proposed project to those determinations. The General Plan EIR determined that implementation of the General Plan would result in significant and unavoidable impacts to land use/agriculture, aesthetics/visual resources, air quality, biological resources, transportation and circulation, and water resources . As described below, the proposed project would be within the scope of analysis of the General Plan update identified in the EIR. The proposed project would incorporate all applicable mitigation measures for significant and unavoidable impacts identified in Table 4 and would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects.
Table 4: General Plan EIR Significant and Unavoidable Impacts and Impacts of the Proposed Project Environmental Topic Significant and Unavoidable Impact Determination Resulting Impact of the Proposed Project Land Use/Agriculture Impact 4.2.2 The proposed General Plan update will result in the conversion of prime farmlands, unique farmlands, or farmlands of statewide importance to a variety of non-agricultural uses.
The proposed project will result in zoning changes for property already designated for residential, industrial, and commercial land uses, thereby making these zoning changes consistent with the existing General Plan land use designation. The proposed project would not result in in the conversion of prime farmlands, unique farmlands, or farmlands of statewide importance to a variety of non- agricultural uses. Therefore, the proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. No major revisions to the General Plan EIR would be required.
Aesthetics/Visual Resources Impact 4.4.3 Implementation of the proposed General Plan would result in conversion of open space areas to urban land use.
The proposed project will result in zoning changes for property already designated for residential, industrial, and commercial land uses, thereby making these zoning changes consistent with the existing General Plan land use designation. The proposed project would not result in in the conversion of open space areas to urban land use. Therefore, the proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. No major revisions to the General Plan EIR would be required.
Air Quality Impact 4.5.1 Air quality impacts would occur during site preparation, including grading and equipment exhaust. Major sources of fugitive dust are a result of grading and site preparation during construction vehicles and equipment and generated by construction vehicles and equipment traveling over exposed surfaces, as well as by soil disturbances from grading and filling. Blowing dust is also of concern in the dry desert areas where PM10 standards are exceeded by soil disturbance during grading, and vehicular travel over unpaved roads.
Impact 4.5.2 Long -term air emission impacts will occur from stationary sources related to the estimated development proposed through implementation of the proposed General Plan.
The proposed project will result in zoning changes for property already designated for residential, industrial, and commercial land uses, thereby making these zoning changes consistent with the existing General Plan land use designation. The proposed project’s air quality emissions would be within the scope of analysis of the General Plan update identified in the EIR. Future construction as a result of the proposed project would be subject to South Coast Air Quality Management District’s Air Quality Management Plan as well as the District’s Rules 403 and 1113. Rule 403 is intended to reduce PM10 emissions from any transportation, handling, construction, or storage activity that has the potential to generate fugitive dust. Rule 1113 is intended to limit the volatile organic compounds of architectural coatings used in the South Coast Air Basin.
All applicable mitigation measures would continue to apply. Therefore, the proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. No major revisions to the General Plan EIR would be required.

Environmental Topic Significant and Unavoidable Impact Determination Resulting Impact of the Proposed Project Impact 4.5.3 The proposed General Plan would result in changes in regional vehicular traffic trips and associated VMT.
The proposed project will result in zoning changes for property already designated for residential, industrial, and commercial land uses, thereby making these zoning changes consistent with the existing General Plan land use designation. The proposed project’s air quality emissions would be within the scope of analysis of the General Plan update identified in the EIR. All applicable mitigation measures would continue to apply.
As the proposed project intends to align zoning districts with the General Plan land use designations, the proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. No major revisions to the General Plan EIR would be required.
Biological Resources Impact 4.6.1 Implementation of the proposed General Plan will result in the direct mortality of individuals of listed, proposed, or candidate species or loss of habitat occupied by such species.
Impact 4.6.2 Alteration or loss of habitat of listed proposed, or candidate species that inhibits or compromises recovery efforts that could otherwise lead or contribute to the delisting of the species.
Impact 4.6.3 Implementation of the proposed General Plan would cause direct loss of sensitive habitat.
Impact 4.6.4 Implementation of the proposed General Plan would cause habitat fra gmentation resulting in isolation of sensitive habitat patches creating a “checkerboard” pattern of small habitat patches of limited biological value.
Impact 4.6.5 Implementation of the proposed General Plan would cause fragmentation of habitat that constr icts, inhibits, or eliminates wildlife movement.
Impact 4.6.7 Implementation of the proposed General Plan would result in alteration of habitat or natural processes that would result in the direct or indirect mortality of listed, proposed, or candidate species or that would result in loss, fragmentation, or isolation of sensitive habitat(s).
The proposed project will result in zoning changes for property already designated for residential, industrial, and commercial land uses, thereby making these zoning changes consistent with the existing General Plan land use designation. The proposed project would not result in impacts to any species, identified as candidate, sensitive, special status, or sensitive habitat . Future construction as a result of the proposed project would be subject to the Western Riverside County Multiple Special Habitat Conservation Plan, preconstruction surveys, and fees as required by Section 3.42.070 (Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan Mitigation Fees) and Section 3.43.070 (Stephen’s Kangaroo Rat Habitat Conservation Mitigation Fee Area) of the Wildomar Municipal Code. Development policies, programs, ordinances, and permits that define the development process would still apply . All applicable mitigation measures would continue to apply. Therefore, the p roposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. No major revisions to the General Plan EIR would be required.
Transportation and Circulation Impact 4.16.1 Future growth occurring as the result of implementing the proposed 2002 Riverside County General Plan will increase area- wide traffic volumes with the potential to degrade roadway and freeway performance below applicable performance standards.
The proposed project will result in zoning changes for property already designated for residential, industrial, and commercial land uses, thereby making these zoning changes consistent with the existing General Plan land use designation. The proposed project would not increase area-wide traffic volumes . Future construction as a result of the proposed project would be subject to development impact fees (Wildomar Municipal Code Section 3.44) and shall demonstrate payment of the Western Riverside Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (Wildomar Municipal Code Section 3.40). All applicable mitigation measures would continue to apply. Therefore, the proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. No major revisions to the General Plan EIR would be required.
Water Resources Impact 4.17.1 The population increases projected for Riverside County will increase the demand for water beyond that which currently exists. A significant impact will occur when and where the demand for water exceeds supply.
The proposed project will result in zoning changes for property already designated for residential, industrial, and commercial land uses, thereby making these zoning changes consistent with the existing General Plan land use designation. The proposed project would not increase the demands for water beyond that which currently exists. Future construction as a result of the proposed project would be subject to the City’s Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (Ordinance No. 46) and the California Green Building Code. All applicable mitigation measures w ould continue to apply. Therefore, the p roposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. No major revisions to the General Plan EIR would be required.

2. CEQA Analysis
2.1 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The General Plan contains policies related to land use, circulation, multi- purpose open space, safety, noise, housing, air quality, and administration. As previously described in Section 1.2, the General Plan EIR addresses potentially significant impacts related to land use /agriculture, population and housing, aesthetics/visual resources, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, energy, flood and dam inundation hazards, geology and soils, hazardous materials, mineral resources, noise, parks and recreation, public services, transportation and circulation, and water resources. The policies of the General Plan and the existing development standards apply to all development in the General Plan Planning Area and would continue to apply to the land that is the subject of the proposed project . As discussed in Section 1.4 , the zoning changes are intended to align the zoning districts of the Zoning Map with the General Plan Land Use Map.
As shown in Table 2, the proposed zoning consistency changes would not result in a net increase of developable acres compared to that analyzed in the General Plan EIR, because the parcels in question were already allowed for development. Notably, these parcels were already zoned and allowed for either commercial, industrial, or residential uses.
As shown in Table 3, t here would be an increase of land zoned for non -residential (i.e., commercial and industrial uses). Proposed commercial rezoning accounts for 255.65 acres (107 parcels) of land and industrial rezoning accounts for 176.45 acres (74 parcels) of land. In contrast, land zoned for residential would decrease by 432.1 acres. While R2 (Multiple-Family Dwellings), R3 (General Residential), and R5 (Open Area Combined Zone) zoned land increased by 227.36 acres (44 parcels), collectively, R-1-15000, R4 (Planned Residential), RR (Rural Residential) and RT (Mobile Home Subdivision/Mobile Home Park) zoned land decreased by 659.46 acres (225 parcels). Overall, zoning districts for residential decreased by 432.1 acres on 181 parcels.
None of the sites identified for rezoning are reducing the density from the numbers identified in the Housing Element. Two sites identified for residential rezoning are also identified in the 2021 – 2029 Housing Element.
These include APNs 380-270-015 and 380-290-016. Combined, the rezoning of these properties would increase the number of units currently allowed in the zoning to a total of 60 units. Moreover, none of the sites included in the proposed project would result in fewer housing units than can currently be provided in the city. Currently, the 259 parcels allow for a total of 863 housing units. Rezoning these parcels would increase the number of allowable units for a total of 927 units which represents an increase of 64 housing units. Furthermore, the Zoning Consistency Update does not impact residential capacity in the city because housing would not be allowed for development on sites where residential zoning is inconsistent with the General Plan Land Use Map.
Accordingly, the proposed Zoning Consistency Update is consistent with the “no net loss” requirements of SB 330 (Housing Crisis Act of 2019).
ADDENDUM TO THE GENERAL PLAN EIR FOR THE ZONING CONSISTENCY UPDATE
CITY OF WILDOMAR
2. CEQA Analysis
The General Plan EIR considered land use designations and the general pattern of future development. While zoning districts are not specifically evaluated in the General Plan EIR, state law requires that the land use designation and zone districts be consistent. Zoning districts contain more development restrictions than the broader land use designation. As such, when the EIR evaluated the land use designations, more development was assumed than the underlying zoning might allow resulting in a more conservative environmental analysis.
Because the General Plan EIR evaluated a less restrictive land use pattern than the existing zone district(s) provides, the environmental evaluation is conservatively broad. Further, development policies such as the development code and engineering design standards, apply to all development in every zone district and are both consistent with, and designed to achieve the goals of the General Plan and the support the conclusions in the EIR. For these reasons, the changes to zoning districts on these parcels would not change the conclusions of the General Plan EIR.
2.2 FINDINGS
The discussion in this addendum confirms that the proposed project has been evaluated for significant impacts pursuant to CEQA.
There are no substantial changes in the circumstances or new information that was not known and could not have been known at the time of the adoption of the General Plan EIR. As a result, and for the reasons explained in this a ddendum, the project would not cause any new significant environmental impacts or substantially increase the severity of significant environmental impacts dis closed in the General Plan EIR. Thus, the proposed project does not trigger any of the conditions in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 requiring preparation of a subsequent EIR, and the appropriate environmental document as authorized by CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(b) is an addendum. Accordingly, this EIR addendum has been prepared.
The following identifies the standards in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 as they relate to the project.
1. No substantial changes are proposed in the project which would require majo r revisions of the EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
The proposed project will align the zoning districts as shown on the City Zoning Map with the General Plan land use designations shown on the Land Use Map . The proposed changes are consistent with the General Plan as evaluated in the General Plan EIR and adopted by the City upon incorporation.
Consequently, the changes to zoning districts would not change the conclusions of the EIR and would not require revisions to the General Plan EIR due to new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
2. There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete demonstrating that the project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR.

2. CEQA Analysis
November 2021 Page 13
The policies and mitigation measures identified in the General Plan EIR would continue to apply to all development in the city and would have the same mitigating effect as disclosed in the General Plan EIR.
There is no new information that was not known and could not have been known at the time the General Plan EIR was certified demonstrating that the project would have one or more significant effects not discussed in the p revious EIR. Therefore, no new impacts would occur because of future development.
Because a development project must be consistent with the General Plan, zoning, and development standards of the City, the resulting impacts would be the same as those disclosed in the certified General Plan EIR.
3. There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete demonstrating that significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR.
The proposed project would have the same significant impacts as those disclosed in the General Plan EIR.
The General Plan policies and mitigation measures identified in the General Plan EIR to reduce physical environmental effects would apply to all new development, including parcels rezoned as part of this project.
These policies would have the same mitigating effect as disclosed in the General Plan EIR. There is no new information that would demonstrate that significant effects examined would be substantially more severe than shown in the certified General Plan EIR.
4. There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete demonstrating that mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and woul d substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
The proposed project will align the zoning districts on the City of Wildomar Zoning Map with the General Plan Land Use Map as evaluated by the General Plan EIR and adopted by the City upon incorporation. All policies and mitigation measures identified in the General Plan EIR would continue to apply to all development in the city and would have the same mitigating effect as disclosed in the General Plan EIR.
The proposed project would not change the assumptions described in the General Plan EIR, and therefore would not substantially change the conclusions of the EIR or require new mitigation measures.
5. There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete demonstrating that m itigation measures or alternatives whic h are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
The proposed project changes would not result in an increase of developable acres or overall development intensity and the resulting impacts would be the same as those disclosed in the certified General Plan EIR.
Therefore, no new mitigation measures or alternatives to the proposed project would be required.

WITH GOVERNMENT CODE 65860
WHEREAS, in 2008 the City of Wildomar adopted the Riverside County General upon incorporation and thereby inherited a large number of parcels with inconsistent zoning; and
WHEREAS, upon incorporation, the County of Riverside no longer had land use jurisdiction, and because of City fiscal challenges and nearly constant legal challenge, the City of Wildomar was unable to begin the Zoning Consistency Program to resolve the zoning inconsistencies; and

WHEREAS, in 2020, the City of Wildomar was awarded an SB-2 Grant which was used to complete the Zoning Consistency Program to rezone the properties that are inconsistent with General Plan Land Use Map; and
WHEREAS, Change of Zone for properties shown in Exhibit 1 to this resolution is necessary to make the subject properties consistent with the existing General Plan land use designation in accordance with State law; and
WHEREAS, the change of zone would enable the affected property owners to enjoy the land uses promised by their respective land use designations; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on December 1, 2021 for Change of Zone No. 2021- 01, and adopted PC Resolution No. 2021- 29 recommending City Council approval of Change of Zone No. 2021-01; and WHEREAS, the Planning Department on December 29, 2021 sent individual public hearing notices to each of the 259 affected property owners in accordance with state law notifying them of the January 12, 2022 City Council meeting where the City Council would review and make a decision on the proposed Change of Zone No. 2021- 01 (Zoning Consistency Program); and

Subject: Zone Change Proposal for [add site address (if available) & APN here] D
ear Property Owner,
The Cit
y of Wildomar recently received a planning grant from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to initiate the City ’s “2021 Zoning Consistency Program.” Title 17 (Zoning) of the Wildomar Municipal Code includes goals and polices for the orderly growth and development of the City and outlines the various permitted land uses and development standards, such as building setbacks, building height, parking, etc. for each property in the City.
E
ach property has a unique land use and zoning designation which the City inherited from the County of Riverside upon incorporation on July 1, 2008. The zoning designations are divided into “zoning districts” (i.e., Residential, Commercial, Industrial, etc.) and are illustrated on the City ’s official Zoning Map. As required by State zoning laws, the zoning on individual properties must have the same (o r consistent) designation as the designation on the City’s General Plan Land Use Map. This is commonly referred to as “Consistent Zoning.”
O
ur “Zoning Consistency Program” focuses on making sure that each property in the City has a zoning designation that matches the General Plan land use designation, and addresses technical issues, such as map errors or modifications. If your zoning designation does not match your General Plan land use designation, the City is required to amend the Zoning Map by having ou r City Council approve a Zone Change for your property. It is important to point out that in most cases if you want to construct a room addition or add a garage, you will still be able to do so.
For example, if you have a residence and your zoning designation is residential, but the general plan designation is commercial, the zoning consistency program will change your zoning to commercial to match the general plan land use designation. In this case, you will still be able to expand your square footage (room addition, etc.) up to an additional 25 percent on your property. In some cases, this zoning consistency program may even result in an increase in property values based on your zone and location.
Upon thorough review of each property in the City, our records indicate that your property identified above has a Zoning designation which is not consistent with the General Plan Land Use designation. Therefore, the City would like to change the Zoning on your property to match the land use designation. This Zone Change process normally costs $7,000; however, because of the HCD grant noted above, there will be no cost to you.
Zoning Consistency Program
Affected Property Owner Notification
July 26, 2021
We value your support in this effort as the City believes it will be beneficial. If you do not want your property to be rezoned as part of the “Zoning Consistency Program,” we will take that into consideration when finalizing the overall zoning changes throughout the City. However, we respectfully request that you notify us as soon as convenient, but no later than Tuesday, August 31, 2021 to let us know of your position. The City will schedule Planning Commission and City Council meetings for later this year in order to adopt the zoning consistency changes. You will get a notice of public meeting once the schedule has been set.
Our records indicate your property is in [add Council Distric t]. Your property zoning designation is proposed to be changed from [CURRENT ZONE] to [NEW ZONE]. The City has developed an online tool where you can see the proposed zoning changes for your property as well as all other proposed zoning consistency changes in the City. The link to the tool is located below:

CITY OF WILDOMAR – CITY COUNCIL
Agenda Item #2.3
PUBLIC HEARING
Meeting Date: January 12, 2022
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Matthew Bassi, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2021-04: City Council consideration of a city-initiated Zoning Ordinance Amendment to modify Sections 17.36,
17.44 & 17.68 of the Wildomar Municipal Code
STAFF REPORT
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission recommends the City Council introduce and approve the first reading of an Ordinance entitled:
ORDINANCE NO. ____
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WILDOMAR,
CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING A GENERAL RULE EXEMPTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 15061(B)(3) OF THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) GUIDELINES, AND APPROVAL OF ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT NO. 2021-04 TO MODIFY SECTION 17.36 (MULTIPLE FAMILY DWELLING ZONE),
17.44 (GENERAL RESIDENTIAL ZONE) AND 17.68 (RESIDENTIAL INCENTIVE
ZONE) OF THE WILDOMAR MUNICIPAL CODE RELATED TO MULTI-FAMILY
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
DESCRIPTION:
The planning department is proposing a code amendment that will update our development standards for the city’s three (3) multi -family zones to modify some of the objective zoning standards that apply to multi-family developments in the City. The land uses and development standards for the R -2, R-3 and R -6 zones were inherited from Riverside County upon incorporation and have not been revised since changes the County made in the early 2000’s. Thus, they do not reflect the current development and design trends being implemented in other jurisdictions.
Implementation of the updated development standards basically relate to setbacks, building height, lot coverage, etc. If approved as proposed, future multi-family residential projects will result in better designed projects that better take into consideration streetscape and aesthetic impacts on surrounding neighborhoods.
Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2021-04 January 12, 2022 MFR Code Amendment Page 2
Planning Commission Review/Action:
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed code amendment at its December 1, 2021 meeting. There were no public speakers either for or against the proposed code amendment. The Commission had no questions regarding the amendment. After Commission discussion, they voted 4- 0-1 (Strong Absent) to adopt PC Resolution No. 2021-30 recommending City Council approval of Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2021-04.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed changes to the R -2, R-3 and R-6 multi-family development standards are outlined in a draft Ordinance as Exhibit 1 of Attachment A . Staff has also provided a redline/strikeout version of the changes so the Council can see what the existing standards are and what is being proposed (refer to Attachment B). Staff bel ieves this code amendment is necessary to better address future multi -family developments, especially projects where State law limits the City’s discretionary review.
SB 330 limits the ability of the City to amend its zoning standards in a manner that reduces the intensity of land use within an existing zoning district below what was allowed under zoning ordinance in effect on January 1, 2018, unless the Department of H ousing and Community Development (HCD) approves the amendments, or the city makes other offsetting changes to development standards to ensure there is “no net loss in residential capacity.” The City has submitted the draft ordinance to HCD for their review and approval.
City staff intends to wait to bring this Ordinance back to Council for 2 nd reading and
adoption until after HCD approval is received. If HCD does not approve the Ordinance as presently drafted, City staff will make modifications to the draft Ordinance to address HCD’s concerns, or ensure that there is no net loss in residential capacity resulting from the Ordinance. If substantive modifications are made to the Ordinance, it will be brought back to Planning Commission for further review and recommendation prior to going to City Council.
ENVIRONMENTAL/CEQA DISCUSSION:
In accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code § 21000, et seq. (“CEQA”)), a review of the potential environmental impacts was conducted by the Planning Department for Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2021-04. Based on this review, the Planning Department has determined that the adoption of the proposed amendment (which provides for only text changes) has no potential to impact the environment. The proposed amendments do not change the permissible density of housing that may be built on a site; they pertain to the placement of the units on a site. Therefore, Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2021- 04 meets the criteria to be exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), which states that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2021-04 January 12, 2022 MFR Code Amendment Page 3
Given this , the Planning Commission is recommending t he City Council make a determination that Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2021- 04 has no potential to negatively impact the environment and recommend to the City Council adoption of the general rule exemption as stated above.
ZOA NO. 2021-04 FINDINGS OF FACT:
In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 17.280 of the Zoning Ordinance, the Planning Commission recommends the City Council make the following finding in support of approving Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2021-04.
A. The proposed amendment is consistent with the City of Wildomar General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
Evidence: The proposed amendment is consistent with the City of Wildomar General Plan in that the proposed amendment will establish updated development standards for the City’s multifamily residential zones while maintaining quality development opportunities in these zones, and continue to further important housing opportunities for all income segments of the community. In addition, the updated development standards outlined in the amendment will not result in a reduction or create any impediments in the development intensity of the existing multifamily zones, thereby, maintaining compliance with the requirements of SB 330. T he amendment is also consistent with the Zoning Ordinance in that the City is allowed to amend its development standards from time to time to address changes in the marketplace and to keep up with current multifamily development trends.
PUBLIC NOTICING:
In accordance with Chapter 17.04 and 17.280 of the Wildomar Municipal Code, the Planning Department on January 1, 2022 published a legal notice in the Press Enterprise, a local newspaper of general circulation, notifying the general public of the January 12, 2022 City Council meeting where Council would discuss Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2021-04. Since this code amendment is not a development project, the provisions of Ordinance 135 requiring public hearing sign boards do not apply.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
There are no fiscal impacts.

STAFF REPORT
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission recommends the City Council introduce and approve the first reading of an Ordinance entitled:
O
RDINANCE NO. ____
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WILDOMAR,
CALIFORNIA, ADOPTION OF AN EXEMPTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTIONS 15061(B)(3) AND 15308 OF THE CEQA GUIDELINES AND APPROVAL OF ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT NO. 2021-05 TO MODIFY CHAPTER 17.276 (WATER
EFFICIENT LANDSCAPES) OF THE WILDOMAR MUNICIPAL CODE ESTABLISHING A NEW SUBSECTION TO ADDRESS SB 1383 STATE REQUIREMENTS
DISCUSSION:
The stated purpose of SB 1383 is to reduce organic waste disposal, recover e dible food waste from the waste stream and reduce methane emissions. The goal of SB 1383 is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 40% below 1990 levels by the year 2030. To achieve this, the target is to reduce organic waste that ends up in the landfill by 50% by the year 2020 and 75% by the year 2025.
I
n order to achieve the reduction of landfilled waste and to increase recovery, among other things, the State has mandated that jurisdictions adopt an ordinance or other enforceable requirement to comply with the mulch and composting provisions of the State’s Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance.
S
pecifically, Section 18989.2 of the CalRecycle SB 1383 regulations (14 CRR § 18989.2), provides that “A jurisdiction shall adopt an ordinance or other enforceable requirement that requires compliance with Sections 492.6(a)(3)(B) (C), (D), and (G) of the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance, Title 23, Division 2, Chapter 2.7 of the California Code of Regulations as amended September 15, 2015.”
Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2021-05 January 12, 2022 Water Efficient Landscape Code Amendment Page 2
These provisions of the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance generally require the following for applicable landscape installations:
For applicable landscape installations, compost at a rate of a minimum of four cubic yards per 1,000 square feet.
A minimum three inch (3″) layer of mulch shall be applied on all exposed soil surfaces of planting areas except in turf areas, creeping or rooting groundcovers, or direct seeding applications where mulch is contraindicated. Organic mulch materials made from recycled or post -consumer shall take precedence over inorganic materials or virgin forest products unless the recycled post-consumer organic products are not locally available. Soil amendments shall be incorporated according to recommendations of the soil report and what is appropriate for the plants selected.
In accordance with Zoning Code section 17.280.010 and Government Code Section 65800, et seq. , the Planning Commission is being asked to review th e proposed ordinance and provide a recommendation to the City Council. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission review the proposed Zoning Code ordinance to amend Chapter
17.276 to comply with SB 1383 and recommend that the City Council approve and adopt the proposed ordinance.
Planning Commission Review/Action:
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed code amendment at it s December 1, 2021 meeting. There were no public speakers either for or against the proposed code amendment. The Commission had no questions regarding the amendment. After Commission discussion, they voted 4- 0-1 (Strong Absent) to adopt PC Resolution No. 2021-31 recommending City Council approval of Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2021-05.
ENVIRONMENTAL/CEQA DISCUSSION:
In accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code § 21000, et seq. (“CEQA”)), a review of the potential environmental impacts was conducted by the Planning Department for Zoning Ordinance Ame ndment No. 2021-05. Based on this review, the Planning Department has determined that the adoption of the proposed amendment (which provides for only text changes) has no potential to impact the environment. Therefore, Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2021- 05 meets the criteria to be exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) and 15308, which states that that the water efficient landscape regulations, as provided for in the proposed ordinance, will not have a significant effect on the environment and that the new requirements, which represent actions by the City for the protection of the environment.
CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and where it can be seen with certainty that t here is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not
Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2021-05 January 12, 2022 Water Efficient Landscape Code Amendment Page 3
subject to CEQA. Given this factor, Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2021- 05 meets the criteria for a General Rule as stated above.
ZOA NO. 2021-05 FINDINGS OF FACT:
In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 17.280 of the Zoning Ordinance, the Planning Commission recommends the City Council make the following finding to approve Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2021-05.
A. The proposed amendment is consistent with the City of Wildomar General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
Evidence: The proposed amendment is consistent with the City of Wildomar General Plan in that the proposed amendm ent will improve upon the city’s existing water efficient landscape regulations in accordance with SB 1383.
PUBLIC NOTICING:
In accordance with Chapter 17.04 and 17.280 of the Wildomar Municipal Code, the Planning Department on January 1, 2022 published a legal notice in the Press Enterprise, a local newspaper of general circulation, notifying the general public of the January 1 2, 2022 City Council hearing where the Council would discuss Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2021-05. Since this code amendment is not a development project, the provisions of Ordinance 135 requiring public hearing sign boards do not apply.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
There are no fiscal impacts.
