Miguel Chavez, Sr. Construction Project Manager – (530) 661-5952, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:

The East Main St. Project, CIP 13-05 is included in the Capital Budget in the overall amount of $8,561,701 consisting of $6,002,000 of Bike and Pedestrian and Local /Regional Transportation Grant funds from the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG), $50,000 of Sewer Enterprise Funds, $50,000 of Water Enterprise Funds, $2,019,000 of Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA- SB1) Funds and $440,701 of Measure E/F funding.

The project budget includes the costs for design, project management, construction management/inspection and the construction contract.

Background:

The project is located on E. Main Street from East Street to the Interstate 5 (I-5) northbound off ramp. Part of the project is located within the State of California right of way and work within the State’s right of way was completed under a State of California encroachment permit.

The project completed the improvements below:
• Constructed the off-street bike path on the north side of E. Main Street between Pioneer Avenue and Matmor Road.
• Installed the curb, gutter and storm drainage improvements on the north side of E. Main Street. • Installed ADA compliant curb ramps on E. Main between East St and the I-5 northbound off ramp. • Installed several concrete bus pads and a bus pull out on E. Main between East St and the I-5 northbound off ramp.
• Installed landscape, irrigation and fencing on the north side of E. Main Street between Pioneer Avenue and Matmor Road.
• Microsurfaced the pavement and restriped the road between East Street and the I-5 overcrossing of East Main Street including the use of green bike lane areas to improve visibility of the bike lanes.

Discussion:

On February 16, 2021, Council approved plans and specifications for the project. On June 1, 2021, the project was awarded to McGuire and Hester via resolution No. 7723. Construction is now complete and the construction contract is ready for acceptance.

The project breakdown is as follows:

Design $562,000
Construction $6,265,989
Construction Management/
Inspection/ Project Management
$1,646,000
Misc. costs $4,155
Total Project Costs $8,478,144
Project Budget $8,561,700
Remaining Balance $83,556
The project had four construction change orders totaling $755,422. The majority of the work for these change orders was due to additional potholing required to perform utility investigation, unforeseen conditions associated with infrastructure owned by private utility companies and costs associated with extending the project timeline due to extra work.

The two new development projects (Sprouts Market & Staybridge Suites Hotel) on either side of the SR113 Southbound on/off-ramp are currently constructing landscaped medians and performing utility trenching on E Main Street. Unfortunately, this work has cut into the newly resurfaced E. Main Street. Although every effort was made to encourage the developer to complete their required improvements ahead of the City’s E. Main Street Project roadway resurfacing, the developers were unable to complete this work in time. The City could not delay its resurfacing schedule as it would jeopardize the grant funding for the project and result in increased delay costs with the City's contractor. As the road is under the roadwork moratorium, the development projects will be required to properly resurface the impacted portion of the street prior to concluding their work in the public right of way.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, accepting the E. Main Street Improvement Project, CIP 13-05 construction contract as complete and authorize the City Clerk to file a Notice of Completion.

AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: September 19, 2023
ITEM #: H.13
SUBJECT: Approve Amendment #1 to Agreement with the
Ferguson Group for Federal Representation and
Advocacy Services for Flood Mitigation and
Transportation
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, to: (1) Approve the reallocation of $12,000 of Measure F Funds from Measure E/Measure F Planning - Management project, CIP 06-06, to the I-5/SR113 Freeway to Freeway Project, CIP 24-06. (2) Authorize amendment #1 to extend the Ferguson Group agreement for an additional 12 months for an amount not to exceed $72,000.

Staff Contact:

Tim Busch, Principal Utilities Engineer (530) 661-5963, [email protected] Fiscal Impact:

The Ferguson Group has been providing federal representation and advocacy services for flood mitigation to the City for over 10 years and began advocacy services for transportation improvements last year. The cost of the advocacy services is considered part of the projects' budgets. Approval of amendment #1 will bring the total, not to exceed, cost of the Lower Cache Creek Flood Risk Reduction Project (LCCFRRP) services to $144,000. The amendment is split between two projects:
$60,000 of the budget is for flood project advocacy and funded through CIP 22-16 and $12,000 of Measure F funding is for transportation improvements advocacy and funded through I-5/SR113 Freeway to Freeway CIP 24-06. The amendment covers the Ferguson Groups services through the attached scope of work.

The flood project is included in the Capital Budget approved by Council with $900,000 being advanced from the sewer enterprise fund with a future repayment from the storm drain enterprise fund as approved by Council on June 20, 2023. In addition, as part of the long-term financing plan for the flood project, the team will pursue cost-sharing, including project management services, with public agency and private property stakeholders with an interest in partnering on a flood solution for Lower Cache Creek.

Background:

In September of 2011, the City Council approved an agreement with the Ferguson Group to provide federal advocacy on the City’s behalf to help with the City’s need to develop comprehensive federal government relations to secure federal financial assistance for solving flood problems associated with Cache Creek. The original agreement was for a 12-month period. Last year, advocacy for transportation improvements was included for work on the State Route 113 and I-5 freeway to freeway connector project.

Discussion:

Addressing the flood problem of Cache Creek is a complex process involving the City, County, State and Federal governments. The Ferguson Group helps the City maintain a presence in Washington D.C. to assist the City in developing and maintaining a relationship with the Senate, House of Representatives, and Army Corps of Engineers with the goal of ultimately receiving federal funding

for a future Woodland Flood Risk Reduction Project.

The City of Woodland and the Ferguson Group will continue to advocate for additional federal funding for the project, ultimately seeking construction funding. The City’s consultant team, staff, and the Flood Control Advisory Committee worked diligently to complete the Lower Cache Creek Feasibility Study, which was completed with the signed Chief’s Report on June 21, 2021. Recent efforts and near term ongoing efforts include work to obtain Federal Authorization of the Project, obtaining a budget for design, and working with Corps staff in Washington, DC.

Ongoing efforts include working with the Federal government to advocate for improvements to the State Route 113 and I-5 freeway to freeway connector project. The Ferguson Group is currently assisting with efforts to secure federal funding to update the preliminary engineering and environmental documents for the project.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, to: (1) Approve the reallocation of $12,000 of Measure F Funds from Measure E/F Planning - Management project, CIP 06-06, to the I-5/SR113 Freeway to Freeway Project, CIP 24-06. (2) Authorize amendment #1 to extend the Ferguson Group agreement for an additional 12 months for an amount not to exceed $72,000.

Mr. Ken Hiatt

RE: Request for Extension of Existing Agreement
Dear Mr. Hiatt:

The Ferguson Group, LLC (TFG) is pleased to submit this request for an extension of our current agreement with the City of Woodland (dated September 8, 2022; see attached) for Washington representation and consulting services for an additional twelve-month period, from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024. We propose to maintain the current rate of compensation ($72,000 annually, billed in monthly installments of $6,000.00) and agree to perform the tasks in accordance with our proposal dated August 8, 2011, which was incorporated by reference into the original agreement between the City of Woodland and TFG, as well as continue working with the City to develop and implement a funding strategy to maximize access to federal funds for the Interstate 5/State Route 113 Freeway to Freeway Connector Project.

Over the last year, TFG worked with the City, the City’s congressional delegation, the Corps of Engineers (Corps), and the City’s consultant team to secure additional $3,000,000 in federal support for the Lower Cache Creek (LCC) project and secure an authorization for construction of the LCC project in the Water Resources Development Act of 2022. We are now working with the City, the City’s congressional delegation, the Corps, and your consultant team to ensure construction on the project proceeds at the earliest possible date. In addition, TFG worked with the City and your congressional delegation to include $1.05 million in pending legislation for the I-5/SR-113 project.

TFG also continues to help the City of Woodland identify viable sources of competitive grant funding. TFG provides updates on a weekly basis to the City on new competitive grant opportunities, and assists the City, when requested, with grant research and the review of competitive grant applications prior to submission. The TFG grants team is also available to assist the City in writing grant proposals, if there is a need for such services. As a fixed fee TFG client, the City has access to discounted grant writing services.

We greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with the City of Woodland, and we look forward to continuing to help you accelerate work on, and secure federal support for, the Lower Cache Creek flood control project, the Interstate 5/State Route 113 Connector Project, and other City priorities. If you require anything more from TFG as you consider our request for an extension of our current agreement, please let me know.

Sincerely,
W. Roger Gwinn

ITEM #: H.14
SUBJECT: Waste Management Performance Review Budget
Appropriation
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, authorizing the appropriation of $65,000 to the Recycling Fund (2250) for the Performance Review of Waste Management.

Staff Contact: Rosie Ledesma, Environmental Resources Program Manager, (530) 661-2059, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:

This action will increase the Recycling Fund appropriations for FY 2023/24 from $207,196 to $272,196 for a total increase of $65,000. Per the City’s Franchise Agreement with Waste Management (WM), WM will reimburse the City $50,000 and the remaining $15,000 will be allocated from the Recycling Fund Balance, which has sufficient funds to support this allocation. There is no impact on the City’s General Fund.

Discussion:

The Amended and Restated Agreement Between The City of Woodland and USA Waste of California, Inc., DBA Waste Management of Woodland (Franchise Agreement) allows the City to monitor and review WM’s performance as described in Section 10 of the Agreement, and directs WM to pay the City $50,000 towards the costs associated with the performance review.

The City recently issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a performance review of Waste Management services and received one proposal from R3 Consulting Group, Inc. (R3) for $65,000.

The City worked with R3 in 2010 to conduct a performance review on WM and has again selected R3 to conduct a similar review for the last 3 years of WM service.

Key elements of their review will include:
• Compliance with the objective terms of the Franchise Agreement (Agreement). • Efficiency of collection operations. Review shall include an analysis of routes, schedules, and the impact of franchise requirements; visual inspections of routes before and after collection to evaluate cart placement and cleanliness and condition of streets, sidewalks, and street trees; review of missed-pickup records to identify and report statistics of chronically missed customers.
• Process and accuracy of contamination monitoring procedures and outreach effectiveness, including, but not limited to the video monitoring system, site assessments, and corrective action measures.
• Staffing practices, including the deployment of management and supervisory personnel. • Completeness and accuracy of monthly reports of disposal and diversion tonnages as well as narrative information in monthly, quarterly, and annual reports (e.g., summaries of complaints and compliments recorded).
• Procedures for receiving and resolving customer and service recipient complaints and concerns, including the responsiveness of customer service representatives to resident

inquiries, requests, and complaints; courteousness of representatives; accuracy of information given; and willingness and ability to resolve complaints. • Comparison with practices of businesses deemed similar to those of WM with respect to operations required by the Agreement for jurisdictions similar to the City of Woodland.

R3 will work with the City and WM staff for initial data collection, as well as host kick-off meetings and ongoing coordination. R3 is scheduled to commence its performance review on September 20, 2023 with a draft report due around November 22, 2023 and a final report due around December 20, 2023.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, authorizing the appropriation of $65,000 to the Recycling Fund (2250) for the Performance Review of Waste Management.

Annual Performance and Evaluation Report
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:

1. Hold a public hearing to receive community input on the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022/23 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER); and

Dago Fierros, Housing Analyst II, (530) 661-2019, [email protected] Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact.

Background:

Each year the City’s Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) is required to submit the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The CAPER is a mandated report for all CDBG grantees and summarizes the City of Woodland’s progress towards meeting its community development needs and objectives in one program year. The City’s community needs and objectives are outlined in its Consolidated Plan, also known as the Strategic Plan; the current five-year plan covers the period of July 1, 2020 – June 30, 2024. The Consolidated Plan is an additional document required by HUD, which coordinates all elements of community development, housing, neighborhood development, and economic development planning into a single plan and vision of activities and strategies to be undertaken during a three- to five-year time period. The programs and activities budgeted each year to meet these community development goals are outlined in the City’s Annual Action Plan for the CDBG program, as approved by the City Council each spring. The CAPER is completed following each program year as a financial summary and a narrative of the accomplishments for the prior CDBG fiscal year’s Annual Action Plan.

The contents of the CAPER are summarized below:

Summary of Resources:

The CAPER contains a summary of the financial resources that the City has at its disposal to address identified community needs and objectives. CDBG, Federal Continuum of Care Program, City General Fund, and other housing grant funds and programs are all among the sources utilized

by the City to accomplish the stated goals of the Consolidated Plan.

Narrative Assessment of Strategic Plan Goals and Objectives:

An assessment of the City’s effort to address its community development needs and objectives is provided in the CAPER, with particular focus given to the areas of affordable housing, fair housing, and homeless services. One purpose of the CAPER is to allow jurisdictions the opportunity to selfevaluate the effectiveness of policies, programs, and activities utilized to achieve Consolidated Plan goals.

USE OF NON-CDBG FUNDS
Not all of the efforts at addressing the City’s community needs and objectives during FY 2022/23 were funded through the CDBG program. A summary of these efforts is provided below and has been included in the CAPER.
• Homeless Coordinator – The homeless engages homeless residents, provides referrals for services, and collaborates closely with social service agencies and Yolo County to coordinate services and housing options whenever possible.
• Countywide Homeless Coordination Project – The City partnered with Yolo County/other cities to support the emergency shelter during the winter and Yolo County Homeless Coordinator position.
• After School Teen Pack Program – Operated by the City, the program takes place at the Douglass and Lee Middle Schools during the school year Monday-Thursday immediately after

school until 5 p.m. Designed for drop-in visits by students to participate any time after school, the program provides supervised activities.
• Youth Camperships for Summer Programs – Camperships were available for incomequalified families of youth participants of Swim Lessons, Summertime Fun Club, Summer Teen Pack, and Lifeguard Training.
• East Beamer Way Permanent Supportive Housing Project – The phase two infrastructure work for the PSH site was completed and the State awarded the City and co-applicant Friends of the Mission a $15,770,467 Homekey grant in March 2022 for the 61-unit PSH project. Homekey funds allowed Friends of the Mission to complete the purchase/installation of the housing units; will allow the purchase/install a 2,500 square foot community center with offices, conference space, gather area, and a medical examination room; and receive a threeyear operating subsidy. The housing units were installed and occupied by November 2022.

Timely Expenditure Requirements, Submittal of CAPER
HUD each year reviews the timely expenditure ratio (expenditure of CDBG funds) for CDBG grantees. A grantee cannot have a balance (ratio) in its line of credit that exceeds 1.5 times its annual entitlement grant and available program income (repaid CDBG loans). The City’s timeliness ratio was 2.04 when HUD reviewed it on May 2, 2023. City Staff anticipates meeting the timely expenditure requirement by the next review in May 2024.

Public Outreach/Citizen Participation
Public outreach/citizen participation efforts for the CAPER included (1) noticing tonight’s public hearing and a 15-day public comment period for the CAPER in the September 13, 2023 edition of the Woodland Daily Democrat, (2) posting the CAPER on the City’s website, and (3) holding tonight’s public hearing. City staff will update the City Council at tonight’s meeting on any public comments received. The public comment period for the CAPER begins on September 13, 2023 and ends on September 27, 2023.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:

1. Hold a public hearing to receive community input on the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022/23 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER); and

PUBLIC SERVICES

75.6% of the CDBG public service funds were used for food and shelter programs during FY 2022/23:

Meals on Wheels (home delivered meals to senior citizens), Yolo Community Care Continuum (supportive housing for adults with mental illness), Yolo Wayfarer Center (emergency shelter), Empower Yolo (emergency shelter for victims of domestic violence), Yolo Food Bank (food), Short Term Emergency Aid Committee (eviction prevention), and Yolo County Children’s Alliance (MediCal and CalFresh enrollment/retention). Other CDBG-funded public service subrecipients included Legal Services (fair housing services) and Northern California Children’s Therapy Center (health care access for special needs children). In April 2023 Legal Services held its annual fair housing conference and the City cosponsored the event, and helped publicize the conference.

CDBG-CV (CARES Act)
Woodland’s CDBG-CV3 allocation of $422,831 was used for the following activities.

City of Woodland Utility Assistance Program
A total of 331 lower income households in Woodland received up to six consecutive months of utility assistance with the total assistance not exceeding $480 per household. The City experienced an increase in the number of delinquent utility accounts and exhaust funding budgeted for an existing utility assistance program before the end of the summer 2021. CDBG-CV3 funds allowed the City to extend the utility assistance program in order to help additional households impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Yolo Community Care Continuum COVID-19 Compliance & Service Enhancements CDBG-CV3 funds will be used to address licensing and California OSHA (Division of Occupational Safety and Health) regulations which have changed significantly since the pandemic and affected YCCC’s

CAPER 3
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
programs (permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, and respite care for adults with mental illness), implement an electronic health care record system, and acquire safety materials and equipment in order to have the sanitizing and virus protection resources necessary when future health events occur. YCCC expects to complete the project during FY2022/23.

Empower Yolo Resource Center Services
EY used CV3 funds to assist 1,202 individuals with basic needs such as clothing, diapers, and personal hygiene items. CDBG-CV3 funds allowed Empower Yolo to continue to offer assistance to the most vulnerable in the community, especially the elderly, unemployed, and homeless, who have been impacted by the pandemic.

Yolo County Children’s Alliance Woodland Covid 19 Resource Connection YCCA used CY3 funds to assist Woodland residents impacted by the pandemic by connecting them to resources and information they need. This includes connecting newly eligible households to MediCal and CalFresh benefits, California’s Covid19 Rent Relief Program, Emergency Broadband Benefit program, and other resources. YCCA works closely with Stanford Sierra’s Community Based Mental Health Services in Woodland and receives referrals from Stanford Sierra, which has noted an increase in families needing to connect to additional family support services beyond mental health services. YCCA assisted these families by connecting them to health insurance, food, housing supports, and other family supporting services.

CommuniCare Health Centers Food is Medicine: Provide Food Access and Education in the Clinical Context
CommuniCare used CV3 funds to expand the Food Education Coordinator assigned to the CommuniCare Food Programs to a 0.8 full-time equivalent employment through and enabled the organization to engage more low- and very low-income patients in direct food education activities in Woodland.

Participants are equipped to grow, prepare, and preserve fruits and vegetables, three skills that decrease household food insecurity and result in healthier diets. Food education was offered in a multiclass series that brings people together and reduces social isolation.

Yolo Wayfarer Center DBA Fourth and Hope Behavioral Health Program, Case Management Fourth and Hope used CV3 funds to support a Behavioral Health Program Manager position to respond to the increased need for behavioral health services and support resulting from the pandemic. Fourth and Hope operates an emergency shelter, transitional housing, and permanent supportive housing and the participants in the programs have experienced added stress and mental health challenges, which has impacted their ability to transition into or maintain permanent housing. The clinician provided direct access to behavioral health supports that have been difficult to access during the pandemic.

Yolo Food Bank, Nurture Woodland An Equitable, Sustainable Local Food System for the Health and Wellness of All Woodland Residents

Assess how the jurisdiction’s use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and specific objectives identified in the plan, giving special attention to the highest priority activities identified.

The following CDBG public service activities addressed Consolidated Plan high priority area of emergency food and shelter for the homeless and at risk homeless: Meals on Wheels (senior citizen meals), Yolo Community Care Continuum (supportive housing for adults with mental illness), Yolo Wayfarer Center (emergency shelter), Empower Yolo (emergency shelter, victims of domestic violence), Yolo Food Bank (food), STEAC (eviction prevention), and YCCA (Medi-Cal and CalFresh enrollment/retention). Legal Services of Northern California (fair housing services) addressed the high priority area of fair housing counseling while Northern California Children’s Therapy Center (health care services) addressed the high priority area of health services.

The following CDBG construction activities addressed the Consolidated Plan high priority area of public facilities and improvements (general, including accessibility for physically disabled – ADA): City of Woodland (Library ADA Restrooms Upgrade), City of Woodland (ADA Accessibility Program), New Hope Community Development Corporation (Cottonwood Meadows Phase S-3), CommuniCare Health Centers (Outdoor Classroom), Empower Yolo (Safe Space Project), and Yolo Community Care Continuum (Haven House Interim Care Program Rehabilitation.

The City participated with Yolo County and other cities in the Countywide Homeless Coordination Project to provide funding assistance for a countywide homeless coordinator and operation of

CAPER 9
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Woodland’s emergency shelter (Yolo Wayfarer Center) during the winter.

In 2018, the City established a homeless coordinator position to address citywide needs for individuals and families that are homeless or at risk of homelessness. The position is funded through the City's general fund and a grant received by the City. The homeless coordinator who is a licensed mental health professional with 20 years of experience working in the mental health field engages homeless residents, provides referrals for services, and collaborates closely with social service agencies and Yolo County to coordinate services and housing options whenever possible. The individual in this position works with the staff of the Yolo Wayfarer Center’s 100-bed homeless shelter and the 61-unit permanent supportive housing project with the overall goals of improving outcomes for clients and ensuring whenever possible that clients transition from the shelter into supportive, longer-term housing environments. Other activities include assisting with the operations of the shelter by filling in gaps for transportation and case management of clients and providing encouragement/motivation to clients to improve their living situation. On occasion, the homeless coordinator will cover the cost of hard to obtain birth certificates, transport clients so they can obtain their California identification cards, and provide other support. In January 2022, the homeless coordinator served as one of the two organizers for the point-in-time count of homeless individuals in Woodland.

The following City activities addressed the Consolidated Plan high priority area of youth services.

Camperships were available for income-qualified families of youth participants of Swim Lessons, Summertime Fun Club, Summer Teen Pack, and Lifeguard Training. Camperships are scholarships resulting in a fee reduction for the program.

The City operated After School Teen Pack at the Douglass & Lee Middle Schools during the school year Monday-Thursday from immediately after school until 5:00 p.m. Designed for drop-in visits by students to participate any time after school, the program provides supervised activities.

Discuss the difference between goals and outcomes and problems encountered in meeting these goals.

New Hope Community Development Corporation, the nonprofit development arm of the local housing authority (Yolo County Housing), used CDBG (allocations from PY 2022, 2021 and 2020) for rehabilitation of the Cottonwood Meadows senior citizen affordable housing complex.

Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.

The need for affordable housing rehabilitation and in particular the construction of additional affordable housing units for the homeless and low-income households remains high. The City will continue to embrace opportunities to support affordable rehabilitation projects and the construction of new affordable housing units when possible.

Along these lines, the City, Yolo County, key nonprofit agencies, and local health care providers have partnered to support the East Beamer Way Campus on City-owned land. East Beamer Way will include three components: a 100-bed shelter for single men and women (constructed in late 2020 and operational in early January 2021), 61 units of permanent supportive housing, and a 60-bed treatment facility. The East Beamer Way campus represents a paradigm shift in how to address the homeless challenges in Woodland. The East Beamer Way property is located directly north of the City limits within the City's General Plan area. The City deeded the shelter site, permanent supportive housing site,

and the substance use disorder treatment facility site to a local nonprofit, Friends of Mission, at no cost.

Phase two infrastructure work for the PSH and treatment facility sites was completed and the State awarded the City and co-applicant Friends of the Mission a $15,770,467 Homekey grant in March 2022 for the PSH project. Homekey funds allowed Friends of the Mission to complete the purchase/installation of the 61 housing units; purchase/install a 2,500 square foot community center with offices, conference space, gathering area, and a medical examination room; and receive a threeyear operating subsidy. The housing units were installed and largely occupied by November 2022. In June 2022, Friends of the Mission was notified that it had been awarded conditionally a $12,500,000 state grant (Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program) for construction of the new treatment facility.

Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The City provided funding assistance for two emergency shelters with CDBG and non-CDBG funds during the program year. (CDBG and Countywide Homeless Coordination Project funds were used for operation of the Yolo Wayfarer Center's emergency shelter.) The clients of the shelter operated by YWC and Empower Yolo (for victims of domestic violence) received case management and were connected with services and housing whenever possible.

HUD awarded the City two HUD Continuum of Care renewal grants (Consolidated and Reallocation projects) in 2022 in the aggregate amount of $348,174 for permanent supportive housing to assist homeless families and individuals. The funds will be used to provide permanent supportive housing for homeless individuals and families at facilities operated by local non-profit Fourth & Hope.

The City's Homeless Coordinator and Homeless Outreach Street Team worked with non-profit service providers and the Yolo County Health Human Services Agency to connect homeless families and individuals to services and shelter whenever possible.

In 2018, the City established a homeless coordinator position to address citywide needs for individuals and families that are homeless or at risk of homelessness. The position is funded through the City's general fund and a grant received by the City. The homeless coordinator who is a licensed mental health professional with 20 years of experience working in the mental health field engages homeless residents, provides referrals for services, and collaborates closely with social service agencies and Yolo County to coordinate services and housing options whenever possible. The individual in this position works with the staff of the Yolo Wayfarer Center’s 100-bed homeless shelter and the 61-unit Permenant Supportive Housing Project with the overall goals of improving outcomes for clients and ensuring whenever possible that clients transition from the shelter into supportive, longer-term housing environments. Other activities include assisting with the operations of the shelter by filling in gaps for transportation and case management of clients and providing encouragement/motivation to clients to improve their living situation. On occasion, the homeless coordinator will cover the cost of hard to obtain birth certificates, transport clients so they can obtain their California identification cards, and provide other support. In January 2022, the homeless coordinator served as one of the two organizers for the point-in-time count of homeless individuals in Woodland.

low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs The City provided CDBG funding for the Yolo Community Care Continuum's New Dimensions Supportive Housing Program during the program year. The program provides housing and supportive services for adults with mental illnesses. A number of the clients have been homeless and/or at risk of homelessness. The City also funded the Short Term Emergency Aid Committee through the CDBG program. STEAC provided emergency cash assistance for overdue rent in order to prevent evictions for low-income Woodland residents. STEAC assisted also assisted homeless individuals and families return to housing with first month's rental assistance.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The City funded the Short Term Emergency Aid Committee through the CDBG program. Besides assisting low-income Woodland residents from being evicted, STEAC also provided funds to help homeless families and individuals move into permanent, long-term housing.

Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
Yolo County Housing serves as the public housing authority for Yolo County and operates two public housing facilities in Woodland - Yolano Village (60 units) and Donnelly Circle (72 units). While the City's Program Year Action Plan did not include activities that directly address the needs of public housing, residents of Yolano and Donnelly may have benefitted from services provided through the following activities funded in the City's Action Plan: Short Term Emergency Aid Committee (rental assistance), and Northern California Children's Therapy Center (health care access for special needs children through early intervention).

During Fiscal Year 2022/23, the City deeded to local non-profit, Friends of the Mission, the 2.9 acre property where the 61-unit permanent supportive housing project was constructed. The Permanent Supportive Housing project at the East Beamer Way campus provides extremely low income housing to individuals experiencing homelessness or at risk of being homeless. The project brings about innovative and strategic approaches to housing some of the most vulnerable individuals in Woodland, Yolo County, and the overall region. The project will consists of 61 modular residential units and community/health center.

Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
The City of Woodland does not have oversight or governance jurisdiction over the local public housing authority (Yolo County Housing or YCH). However, YCH has taken a number of actions to facilitate resident involvement. YCH is governed on a day-to-day basis by a seven-member housing commission, which includes two resident commissioners. In addition, YCH staff facilitates Yolo County Housing Quarterly Resident Meetings for the residents of the Yolano Village (60 units) and Donnelly Circle (72 units) which are public housing developments located in Woodland. YCH provides opportunities for public housing residents to apply their housing choice voucher assistance to a home mortgage (monthly mortgage payments). The City operates a first time homebuyer loan assistance program for low income households and maintains an interest list for the program. When loan funding is available, the City contacts families on the interest list and invites them to participate in the City's program. Public housing residents are welcome to participate in the City's homebuyer loan assistance program.

Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs

The project will provide one- and two-bedroom rent units in a rental market with limited vacancies and will include both market rate units (74) and low income units (9).

The City is working on a comprehensive update to its Zoning Ordinance in order to bring it in alignment with the 2017 comprehensive update to the City's General Plan. A number of the changes will be focused on easing development requirements for residential development. The City has already taken a number of steps encourage residential development including allowing staff level design and site plan review for multi-family rental projects that are consistent with development standards and significantly increasing residential development densities in older sections of the City to promote infill development.

The City Council on January 17, 2020 amended the Zoning Ordinance to facilitate the construction of junior accessory dwelling units and accessory dwelling units. The ordinance was amended in order to be compliance 2019 state law changes. Key provisions of the amendment include the following. • Requires local agencies to approve or deny an ADU project within 60 days. • Prohibits imposing minimum lot sizes. • For all ADUs requires only a 4-foot setback from side and rear lot lines. • Eliminates the requirement for replacement parking when a garage, carport, or covered parking that is demolished or converted to construct an ADU. • Requires one parking space per ADU that requires an ADU permit. • Allows for both an ADU and JADU on a single-family lot where access, setbacks, and other criteria are met. • Allows ADUs in multi-family projects, including conversion of space such as storage rooms, as well as the construction of up to two detached ADUs on the property. • City may not impose impact fees on ADUs under 750 square feet. • Cannot condition approval of the ADU on the applicant being he “owner-applicant” of either the primary or the ADU.

ITEM #: J.16
SUBJECT: Comprehensive Zoning Code Public Release
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council receive a presentation on the Public Review Draft of the Comprehensive Zoning Code and an outline of the public review process Staff Contact:

Cindy Norris, Principal Planner (530) 661-5911, [email protected]; and [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:

The Zoning Code and CEQA Update Project (CIP#07-07) was established in 2007 with $100,000 to fund Zoning Code and CEQA updates. Since 2007, limited code updates and preparation of the Interim Zoning Update have utilized project funds (CIP#07-07). In 2017, the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) initiated the Planning Grants Program intended for the preparation, adoption and implementation of plans to streamline housing approvals and accelerate housing production. The City of Woodland received two Planning Grants from HCD, SB2 funds in 2019, for $310,000, and LEAP grant funds in 2020, for $300,000. Additionally, the City received $85,000 in REAP grant funds from SACOG. Total funds allocated to the CZC project are $655,624.

On September 3, 2019, the City entered into a professional services contract with Lisa Wise Consulting, Inc. for $358,610 to prepare the CZC update. On October 15, 2020, a second amendment to the contract was approved to add $36,160 to the original contract for an overall contract amount of $394,770. A fourth amendment reallocated grant funds in the amount of $130,830 to the contract with Lisa Wise Consulting, Inc., resulting in an overall contract amount of $525,600 to complete the CZC project.

Report in Brief:

The September 19, 2023 City Council meeting will officially launch the public review process for the CZC Project with the availability of the Public Review Draft document now online at the following link https://cityofwoodland.org/1165/Comprehensive-Zoning-Update, and in hard copy at City Hall, Library and Community and Senior Center. Over the coming months, city staff will hold a series of public meetings with community members and stakeholders to formally present the draft Code, respond to questions, and collect important feedback that will be considered in the preparation of the final CZC. At the September 19, 2023 meeting it is not anticipated that the City Council will provide formal comments on the draft document, but rather receive a project update and provide input concerning key areas of interest or concern. This staff report outlines the community engagement process and anticipated timeline, provides a high-level overview of the CZC including a review of the guiding principals for development of the Code update, the code framework, and a summary of key changes.

The goal of the CZC update is to facilitate new desired development through the provision of clear and understandable standards, guidelines, and procedures. An updated development review process will assist staff and decision makers to allow qualified development with expedited review, thereby helping to reduce the front-end design/development costs particularly for new housing projects.

Grant funding for the Code update from HCD was provided with the intended purpose of accelerating

housing production and streamlining approval of housing development, as well as to prepare a code that utilizes best practices to facilitate livability, sustainability, increased density, and multi-modal access. A well-designed city that incorporates appropriate development standards into its regulations will directly improve the quality of life and appearance of the community, attract investment, and increase community pride.

Background:

Once the draft is released, staff is recommending an ambitious schedule for public review with the goal of completing the draft document by the end of 2023. The goal will be to begin working and utilizing the new code at the start of the year. This will also allow the city to submit for final grant funding reimbursements.

Discussion:

Relationship Between General Plan and Zoning Code
The General Plan outlines a vision for Woodland’s long term physical and economic development and community enhancement. It also provides goals and policies that will allow this vision to be accomplished. The General Plan, inclusive of the Housing Element, provides the basis for establishing priorities for implementing plans and programs, such as the Zoning Ordinance. It sets broad general land use locations and densities and intensity for development. Residential development capacity is usually provided as density of development, expressed as dwelling units per acre (du/ac), whereas non-residential development capacity is provided as intensity of development, expressed as floor area ratio (FAR).

The Zoning Ordinance is one of the most important tools for implementing the General Plan. While the General Plan provides broad land use classifications, zoning is more specific and may allow multiple zones per single general plan land use category as long as the intensity and density of development are consistent with the General Plan. Zoning translates general policies into more specific regulations and standards.

For the period immediately following adoption of the General Plan, the city adopted a stand-alone Interim Zoning Ordinance (IZO) to address areas of land use inconsistency between the newly adopted General Plan and Zoning for the commercial, industrial and mixed-use zones. The IZO incorporates new standards and practices that have guided much of the new development that has occurred since 2018. The IZO has generally been considered successful and the CZC has built upon the best elements and lessons learned through use of the IZO.

Legislative Updates and Requirements
A critical purpose for the update is to ensure that the CZC addresses the numerous legislative updates and requirements. Since 2017, the state has passed a significant amount of legislation relating to housing with a primary emphasis on streamlining the production of new housing and removing barriers. The grants from HCD that have assisted in funding the CZC update require the new code to utilize objective design standards and minimize the review process for housing projects.

Objective standards have also been provided for commercial, mixed use and industrial developments as well.

In addition to housing, legislative updates have affected other areas of the code. As example, cities are limited in the regulation of content for signs. Below are summarized some of the most critical updates affecting the Code update:
• SB330 (Housing Crisis Act of 2019) and SB 8 (2021), which prohibits the City from adopting new non-objective standards for residential or residential mixed-use projects; from reducing allowed housing capacity through regulatory or administrative barriers; and from denying residential or residential mixed-use projects based on subjective standards. • AB 2011 (Affordable Housing and High Road Jobs Act of 2022), which allows housing development in areas currently zoned for parking, retail, or office buildings and exempts some projects from local approval processes and CEQA review. • SB 6 (Middle Class Housing Act of 2022), which allows residential uses on commercially zoned property without requiring rezoning if they meet or exceed the default density under Housing Element law for the jurisdiction.
• AB 2162 (2018), which requires that supportive housing be permitted by-right in zones where multifamily and mixed-use development is permitted.
• AB 2345, (2020), which amends the Density Bonus law to expand incentives for projects with affordable and senior housing components, including reduced maximum parking requirements. • Reed v. Town of Gilbert (2015), which affirmed that signs regulations must be content-neutral.

The City has already prepared zoning updates where legislative changes require limited timeframes for compliance, such as accessory dwelling units, SB9 (allowing additional units in single family zones), and emergency shelters.

Guiding Principles and Objectives for the Comprehensive Code Update:

The following are the key guiding principles and objectives for the CZC update:

1. Implement the 2035 General Plan and the 2021-2029 Housing Element.

2. Ensure compliance with state and federal requirements.

3. Build upon the Interim Zoning Ordinance (IZO). Utilize lessons learned to strengthen, clarify, and expand the Comprehensive code.

4. Ensure that the code is clear, concise, intuitive, and easy to use by the community, businesses, and development partners.

5. Provide clear decision protocols and a streamlined review process.

6. Allow increased intensity of development and compact form while retaining the character and scale of the community’s neighborhoods.

7. Facilitate increased housing opportunities and variety. Encourage Multi-family, Missing Middle, and Lifestyle Housing

8. Address sustainability concerns including the heat island effect. Facilitate appropriate and increased tree planting and preservation.

9. Respect the existing community fabric and groundwork while reflecting current best practices in evaluation of uses, activities, and development patterns.

10. Incorporate historic and downtown design requirements, thereby incorporating the Downtown Specific Plan into the code.

11. Address citywide and special case situations that occur repeatedly.

12. Provide clear standards and requirements, but incorporate flexibility in order to adapt to new or unusual circumstances.

13. Add to the economic vitality of Woodland and allow appropriate adaptive reuse and reinvestment of properties.

14. Encourage mixed-use nodes, districts and corridors. Allow the integration of commercial uses within residential districts as well as residential into commercial districts.

Generally, the public, residents, and prospective developers value three central qualities in any zoning code: 1) certainty in the requirements and structure of the review process, 2) built-in flexibility to adjust development standards to the needs of individual projects, and 3) opportunities to request relief from requirements that constitute a substantial burden.

Comprehensive Code Features
The following summarizes key features incorporated into the draft Code:

1. Provides graphic examples and generalized tables to present information whenever possible.

2. Provides “objective design standards” for all districts.

3. Provides performance standards to address sensitive adjacency issues such as odors, dust, and contamination.

4. Updates parking standards and reduces overly burdensome requirements.

5. Continues to accommodate and incentivize food and agricultural industries where appropriate.

6. Updates and clarifies the non-conforming use standards.

7. Updates the allowed land use table to incentivize desired uses.

8. Updates standards that apply to all properties, such as fencing, outdoor storage, landscaping, parking, and lighting.

9. Provides design standards and criteria that apply to specific uses such as alcohol, auto services, bed and breakfast, bee keeping, emergency shelters, mobile vendors, and temporary uses, etc.

10. Identifies height, setbacks, coverage, and other development standards that apply to each district.

11. Revises sign standards to comply with legislative requirements to be content neutral.

12. Provides an Administration section that clearly describes and outlines all permit and entitlement review requirements.

13. Clarifies public notice procedures.

14. Clarifies roles and responsibilities for all recommending and approving bodies.

15. Provides Rules of Measurement.

16. Provides clear understandable procedures for exceptions from standards and when allowed.

17. Provides a comprehensive list of definitions of terms and uses.

Zoning and General Plan Map
In addition to text amendments, there are suggested amendments to the Zoning Map. Some of the map changes identified will require amendment to the General Plan (GP) land use map as well. However, in several instances, the existing zoning provides a higher zone category than the General Plan and will remain at the higher zone category:
• Add back in areas of Low Medium Density (R-LM) and Medium Density (R-M) residential zones that were in place in the 2002 General Plan and as studied in the 2035 General Plan EIR. (GP and Zone change)
• Add some areas of Low Medium (R-LM) to Medium Residential (RM) where the area would support such change, such as on major corridors or where existing development exceeds lower density.
• Replace Community Commercial (CC) sites along corridors with the Corridor Mixed Use (CMU)

designation, thereby allowing a greater mix of uses including residential development. (GP and Zone change)
• Change Community Commercial (CC) to Community Commercial Mixed Use (CCMU) and allow residential development in the zone. (GP and Zone change) • Revise the Light Industrial (IF) zone to the south side of the I-5 freeway and add General Industrial (IG) north of the I5 freeway. (GP and Zone change) • Identify a separate Corridor Mixed Use zone for the Armfield neighborhood (CMU-A). (Zone change)
• Update the Downtown districts by consolidating the existing five districts with subcategories into four clearly defined zones (DX-1 – 4). (Zone change)
• Modify the (Regional Commercial (RC) zone at the north end of East Street to Regional Commercial Flex (RCF) (Zone change)
A copy of the Draft Comprehensive Zoning Map is attached to the report as well as a second map which highlights areas where zone changes are proposed. Additional detailed information regarding the zone changes will be provided on the CZC web page and discussed in future workshops. Below are images from the CZC Zoning Map to illustrate the proposed zones. A third map is attached which illustrates areas on the General Plan map that will require amendment.

Code Framework
The draft Comprehensive Zoning code was developed over the past three plus years based on requirements of State law, review of best practices, and consideration of objectives for the code. The CZC has five divisions or sections as described below:

Format and Organization
Division 1: General Provisions
Division 2: Districts and Regulations
Division 3: Citywide Standards
Division 4: Administration and Procedures
Division 5: Definitions of Terms and Uses
Division 1 – General Provisions:

This Division sets the underlying purpose and effect of the Zoning Code and outlines the authority for the Code and relationship to the General Plan. This Division includes a section that discusses rules for interpretation and rules of measurement. It also references and establishes the zoning map, other relevant maps, and districts.

Division 2 – Districts and Regulations
Division 2 identifies the purpose and applicability of each zone. The district provides the use regulations, development standards and supplemental regulations. This is where the objective standards for building and site design are provided.

Division 3 – Citywide Standards
Division 3 provides citywide standards in two sections, those that apply generally and also those that only apply to specific uses or specific activities.
• Chapter 17.64: General Site Standards. This chapter provides standards that apply generally to

all properties and include things like accessory structures, fences, landscaping, parking, lighting, screening, signs, performance standards, non-conforming provisions, and flood management provisions.
• Chapter 17.84: Standards for Specific Uses and Activities. This chapter applies to specific uses regardless of zone. Examples include accessory dwelling units, alcoholic beverage sales, automobile sales and service use, bed and breakfast, day care centers, mobile home parks/RV/Trailer Parks and manufactured homes, mobile vendors, emergency shelters, and temporary uses.

Division 4 – Administration and Procedures
Division 4 identifies all planning authorities and reviews authorization. It provides all of the common procedures that are required as part of any type of review for purposes of zoning. The division outlines all of the planning permits and approvals that are possible and establishes a new threetiered Development Review process to replace the existing ZAP Tier 2 and Design Review processes. There are also procedures outlined for reviewing actions involving general plan or zoning amendments, establishment of specific plans or precise plans, as well as enforcement.

Division 5 – Definitions of Terms and Uses.

Division 5 provides a comprehensive set of definitions of the terms used in the code and also provides a definition for all permitted, conditionally permitted and in some cases non-permitted uses.

Code Highlights and Key Changes
The CZC has been re-written with each and every standard and requirement evaluated in view of best practices and through a frame of the City’s development goals as identified in the General Plan, past experience, experience in implementing the Interim Zoning Ordinance, and desired economic development path. Development standards and design standards were assessed, taking into consideration limited resources, such as land and water, while also taking into account environmental and climate considerations, as well as housing and jobs, in order to allow for a resilient and prepared community to face 2050 and beyond. Below is a summary of some of the key highlights and changes in the CZC:
• Increase housing opportunities.
o Ensure consistency with the Housing Element regarding identified sites and densities. o Add back in the Low Medium Zone to further facilitate missing middle housing. The 1996 and 2002 General Plans had a land use called Medium Low Density Residential (MLDR) with a density between Low and Medium zones. These areas are shown as a duplex zone (R2) on the existing zoning map. The General Plan EIR studied all of these areas as Medium density, but they were approved as Low density in 2017.
o Ensure consistency between the General Plan and zoning. On some parcels the zoning shows Multi-family (RM) where the General Plan shows Low density (LD). Due to SB 330, sites may not be downzoned from how they were shown as of January 1, 2018. o Transition the Community Commercial zone to a mixed-use zone (CCMU) which allows multifamily residential. o Expand CMU zones along the West Main Street corridor. • Incorporate historical standards and the updated Downtown zones as a new section in the code. • Retained the Neighborhood Preservation (NP) zone.
• Add small lot subdivision development standards to provide flexibility for infill residential development.
• Provide allowance for limited retail uses in specific residential locations and situations • Update building and site design standards for all zones • Add a new chapter for screening and outdoor storage standards • Update parking, lighting and landscaping sections.

• Increase development intensity standards for the Community Commercial Mixed Use (CCMU), Regional Commercial (RC), Regional Commercial Flex (RCF), Industrial Flex (IF) and Industrial General (IG) zones to allow appropriate intensity of development. Encourages more efficient use of limited land resources.
• Carry forward the standards of the General Plan Light Industrial Flex (LIF) Overlay into new base zone standards.

Community Outreach
All meetings will be recorded and posted on the Comprehensive Zoning Code web page to allow members of the public the ability to view all presentations and discussions. The city will offer a range of meeting types, from pre-recorded to virtual to in person. In the past, the city has found that virtual meetings tend to be very well attended and provide an alternative option for the public to gain access to meetings. In-person meetings will be held at the City of Woodland Council Chambers, located at 300 First Street. More information regarding meeting times will be provided. Outreach will be conducted using notices in the newspaper, direct mailings, email to identified interested parties, and various forms of social media, including press releases, notices to list-serve groups, and posting on the city’s web page.

After which all comments will be evaluated and suggested changes provided in an errata format to be presented to the City Council for final consideration before preparing a final draft for adoption. However, public comment may continue to be provided up until final adoption.

The city invites all interested residents to attend the scheduled community events and express opinions. Community members may also provide comments regarding the Comprehensive Zoning Code update to the following email:
[email protected]
The Zoning Code is considered a living document and represents the goals and policies of the General Plan as translated into regulatory requirements. It is anticipated that as the city begins to actively utilize the code, there may be fine tuning required moving forward.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council receive a presentation on the Public Review Draft of the Comprehensive Zoning Code and an outline of the public review process.

Division I: General Provisions
Final Public Review Draft | Woodland Comprehensive Zoning Code | Division I, Page 1 Purpose and Effect of the Zoning Code

17.04.010 Title
Title 17 of the City of Woodland Municipal Code shall be known and cited as the “Zoning Code” or “Code.”

17.04.020 Authority
The Woodland Zoning Code is adopted pursuant to the authority contained in Section 65850 of the California Government Code.

17.04.030 Purpose
The Zoning Code is enacted in order to promote the public health, safety, comfort, and general welfare, to provide a plan for sound and orderly development, and to ensure social and economic stability within the various zones established by the provisions of this Title. More specifically, the Code is adopted to achieve the following objectives:

Provide standards for the orderly growth and development of the City, and guide and control the use of land to provide a safe, harmonious, attractive, and sustainable community.

Achieve the arrangement of land uses depicted in the Woodland General Plan, consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan.

Enhance the appearance of the City and promote high-quality design.

Preserve and enhance the quality of life and character of residential neighborhoods.

Incorporate sustainability practices and ensure climate resiliency.

Promote economic growth and the creation of jobs.

Facilitate the appropriate location of community facilities, institutions, transportation, and parks and recreation areas.

Allow for public participation in government decision-making regarding land use and development in a manner consistent with state law.

Define the duties and power of administrative bodies and officers responsible for implementing the Code.

17.04.040 Relationship to the General Plan
This Code implements the goals and policies of the Woodland General Plan by regulating the use of land and structures within the City. This Code and the General Plan shall be consistent with one another. Any permit, license, or approval issues pursuant to this Code must be consistent with the

Division I: General Provisions
Division I, Page 2 | Woodland Comprehensive Zoning Code | Final Public Review Draft General Plan and all applicable specific plans. In any case where there is a conflict between this Code and the General Plan, the General Plan shall control.

17.04.050 Applicability
Applicability to Property. This Code shall apply, to the extent permitted by law, to all property within the corporate limits of the City of Woodland and to property for which applications for annexation and/or subdivisions have been submitted to the City, including all uses, structures, and land owned by any private person, firm, corporation or organization, or the City of Woodland or other local, State or federal agencies. Any governmental agency shall be exempt from the provisions of this Code only to the extent that such property may not be lawfully regulated by the City of Woodland.

Minimum Requirements. The provisions of this Code shall be minimum requirements for the promotion of the public health, safety, and general welfare. Where this Code provides for more discretion on the part of a City official or body, that discretion may be exercised to impose more stringent requirements than set forth in this Code as may be necessary to promote orderly land use development and the purposes of this Code.

Compliance with Regulations. No land shall be used, and no structure shall be constructed, occupied, enlarged, altered, demolished, or moved in any zone, except in accordance with the provisions of this Code, including the development and performance standards herein, and any permit issued pursuant hereto. The temporary or transitory nature of a use does not exempt it from this requirement.

Conflicting Regulations. The regulations of this Code and requirements or conditions imposed pursuant to this Code shall not supersede any other regulations or requirements adopted or imposed by the Woodland City Council, the State of California, or any federal agency that has jurisdiction by law over uses and development authorized by this Code. All uses and development authorized by this Code shall comply with all other such regulations and requirements. Where conflict occurs between the provisions of the Code and any other City ordinance, resolution, or regulation, the more restrictive provision shall control.

Private Agreements. This Code shall not interfere with or annul any recorded easement, covenant, or other agreement now in effect, provided that where this Code imposes greater restriction than imposed by an easement, covenant, or agreement, this Code shall control.

The City of Woodland shall not be responsible for monitoring or enforcing private agreements.

Prior Ordinance. The provisions of this Code supersede all prior ordinances codified in Title 17 of the Woodland Municipal Code and any amendments. No provisions of this Code shall validate any land use or structure established, constructed, or maintained in violation of the prior Zoning Code, unless such validation is specifically authorized by this Code and is in conformance with all other regulations.

Effect on Previously Approved Projects and Projects in Progress.

1. Building Permit. Any building or structure for which a Building Permit has been issued may be completed and used in accordance with the plans, specifications, and permits on which said Building Permit was granted, provided at least one inspection has been requested and posted for the primary structure on the site where the permit is issued and provided construction is diligently pursued and completed within 210 days of

Division I: General Provisions
Final Public Review Draft | Woodland Comprehensive Zoning Code | Division I, Page 3 permit issuance. No extensions of time except as provided for in the Building Code shall be granted for commencement of construction, unless the applicant has secured an allowed permit extension from the Planning Division.

2. Previously Approved Land Use Authorization. This Zoning Code shall not interfere with, repeal, abrogate, or annul any previously granted land use authorization. All allowances, requirements, and conditions of approval of previous land use authorizations shall apply until the applicable review authority specifically repeals the allowance, requirement, or condition.

3. Land Use Authorization in Process. An application for a discretionary land use authorization that has been accepted by the Planning Division as complete for processing prior to the adoption of this Code or any applicable amendment shall be processed according to the requirements of this Zoning Code or the prior Code upon written request from the project applicant. The written request shall be made no later than 30 days after the Effective Date of this Zoning Code and at least one action must be taken by the review authority within 210 days of the Effective Date of this Code.

Application During Local Emergency. The City Council may authorize a deviation from a provision of this Code during a local emergency declared and ratified under the Woodland Municipal Code. The City Council may authorize a deviation by resolution without notice or public hearing.

17.04.060 Severability
If any Section, sentence, clause, phrase, word, portion, or provision of this Chapter is held invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect, impair, or invalidate any other Section, sentence, clause, phrase, word, portion, or provision of this Chapter which can be given effect without the invalid provision. The invalidation of the application of any Section, sentence, clause, phrase, word, portion, or provision of this Chapter to a particular property or structure, or any particular properties or structures, by any court of competent jurisdiction shall not affect the application of such Section, sentence, clause, phrase, word, portion or provision to any other property or structure not specifically included in said invalidation.

Division I: General Provisions
Division I, Page 4 | Woodland Comprehensive Zoning Code | Final Public Review Draft Interpretation and Rules of Measurement

17.08.010 Purpose
This Chapter provides specific rules that explain how to interpret the Code and how to perform calculations and measurements that are required to implement the Code (e.g. measuring floor area, lot area, setbacks, or floor area ratio).

17.08.020 Interpretation
Conflict between Text and Figure. In the event of a difference or conflict between the text and a figure, illustration, heading, caption, diagram or graphic, the text controls.

Conflict within this Title. Where provisions of this Title are in conflict, the more specific, or restrictive regulations shall apply over the more general.

Public Property.

1. In the event public streets, alleys, or public property are vacated, abandoned, become private property, or are leased for private use, said property shall be classified by the Planning Commission at the time of change of status.

2. In the event that any public property is not indicated as being zoned on the Zoning Map, it shall not be used for private purpose until said property has been classified as to zone.

Interpretation of Zone Boundaries. When determining the boundary of a zone, the following rules shall apply:

1. Where uncertainty exists regarding the location of a zone boundary or other feature shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
a. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of alleys, lanes, streets, highways, streams, or railroads shall be construed to follow such centerlines.
b. Boundaries indicated as approximately following lot lines, City limits, or extraterritorial boundary lines, shall be construed as following such lines, limits, or boundaries.
c. Boundaries not indicated as following an alley, lane, street, highway, stream or railroad and not following or coinciding approximately with a lot line, City limits, or extraterritorial lot line shall be determined by the use of the scale designated on the Zoning Map to determine the boundary location. d. Where further uncertainty exists, the Planning Commission, upon receiving written application or upon its own motion, shall determine the location of the zone boundary in question, giving due consideration.

2. Where the Code references applicable provisions of State Law (for example, the California Government Code, Subdivision Map Act, or Public Resources Code), the

Division I: General Provisions
Final Public Review Draft | Woodland Comprehensive Zoning Code | Division I, Page 5 reference shall be construed to be to the applicable State law provisions as they may be amended from time to time.

Parcels Containing Two or More Zones.

1. For parcels containing two or more zones, the location of the zoning district boundary shall be determined by the Director.

2. For parcels containing two or more zones, the applicable regulations for each zone shall apply.

Interpretation. Where uncertainty exists regarding the interpretation of any provision of this Zoning Code or its application to a specific site, the Zoning Administrator shall determine the interpretation of the provision. The determination of the Zoning Administrator may be appealed in compliance with the provisions of Section 17.96.160, Appeals.

Definitions. The Director shall make the interpretation for any definition not expressly identified in this Code.

Interpretation of Words and Conjunctions. Unless the context clearly indicates the contrary, the following conjunctions shall be interpreted as follows:

1. “And” indicates that all connected words or provisions may apply.

2. “And/or” indicates that the connected words or provisions may apply singularly or in any combination.

3. “Or” indicates that the connected words or provisions may apply singularly or in any combination.

4. “Either…or” indicates that the connected words or provisions shall apply singularly, but not in combination.

5. The words “shall”, “will”, “must”, and “is to” are always mandatory and not discretionary. “Should” is a regulation that is not mandatory but must be either fulfilled or the applicant must demonstrate an alternative that fulfills the intent of the regulation. “May” is permissive.

6. The present tense includes the past and future tenses, and the future tense includes the past.

Calendar Days. All references to days are to calendar days, unless otherwise indicated. If a deadline falls on a weekend or holiday, or a day when the City offices are closed, it shall be extended to the next working day.

17.08.030 Rules of Measurement
For all calculations, the applicant shall be responsible for supplying drawings illustrating the measurements that apply to a project. These drawings shall be drawn to scale and of sufficient detail to allow easy verification upon inspection by the Review Authority.

Fractions. Whenever this Ordinance requires consideration of distances, parking spaces, dwelling units or other aspects of development or the physical environment expressed in

Division I: General Provisions
Division I, Page 6 | Woodland Comprehensive Zoning Code | Final Public Review Draft numerical quantities, and the result of a calculation contains a fraction of a whole number, the results will be rounded as follows:

1. General Rounding. Fractions of one-half or greater shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number and fractions of less than one-half shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, except as otherwise provided.

2. Exception for State Affordable Housing Density Bonus. For projects eligible for bonus density pursuant to Government Ordinance Section 65915 or any successor statute and Chapter 15.16, Affordable Housing, any fractional number of permitted bonus density units shall be rounded up to the next whole number.

Measuring Distances.

1. Measurements are Shortest Distance. When measuring a required distance, such as the minimum distance between a structure and a lot line, the measurement is made at the closest or shortest distance between the two objects.

Figure 17.08.030.B-1: Measuring Distances

2. Distances are Measured Horizontally. When determining distances for setbacks and structure dimensions, all distances are measured along a horizontal plane from the appropriate line, edge of building, structure, storage area, parking area, or other object. These distances are not measured by following the topography or slope of the land.

3. Measurements Involving a Structure. Measurements involving a structure are made to the closest support element of the structure. Structures or portions of structures that are entirely underground are not included in measuring required distances.

4. Measurement of Vehicle Stacking or Travel Areas. Measurement of a minimum travel distance for vehicles, such as garage entrance setbacks and stacking lane distances, are measured down the center of the vehicle travel area. For example, curving driveways and travel lanes are measured along the center arc of the driveway or traffic lane.

5. Measuring Radius. When a specified land use is required to be located a minimum distance from another land use, the minimum distance is measured in a straight line from all points along the lot line of the subject project.

Division I: General Provisions
Final Public Review Draft | Woodland Comprehensive Zoning Code | Division I, Page 7 Measuring Height.

1. Measuring Building Height.
a. Building height is measured from the average level of the highest and lowest point where the vertical plane of the exterior walls touches existing or finished grade, whichever is lower, to the highest point on the roof, the top of the parapet wall, the wall coping of a flat roof, or the deck line of a mansard roof.

Figure 17.08.030.C-1: Measuring Building Height
b. Exceptions. Chimneys, cupolas, spires, grain silos and towers, elevators, and rooftop equipment are not included in the building height.

2. Measuring Fence Height.
a. Fences at Grade. The height of any fence or wall is measured as the vertical distance from the average of the ground levels immediately adjacent to both sides of the fence or wall to the highest point of such fence or wall. b. Any fence or railing required by the California Building Code to exceed the maximum height is allowed.

Figure 17.08.030.C-2: Measuring Height Fences on Retaining Walls

3. Measuring the Number of Stories in a Building. In measuring the height of a building in stories the following measurement rules shall apply:
a. A story means that portion of a building included between the surface of any floor and the surface of the floor next above, or if there is no floor above, the ceiling or roof above it.

Division I: General Provisions
Division I, Page 8 | Woodland Comprehensive Zoning Code | Final Public Review Draft b. A basement shall be counted as a full story if the vertical distance between the finished grade and the finished floor level directly above a basement or cellar is more than six feet at any point.
c. An interior balcony or mezzanine shall be counted as a full story if its floor area exceeds one-third of the total area of the nearest full floor directly below it or if it is enclosed on more than two sides.
d. A story of a commercial or residential building shall not exceed 25 feet in height from the upper surface of the floor to the ceiling above. Industrial buildings are exempt from this standard.

Figure 17.08.030.C-3: Measuring Number of Stories in a Building

4. Measuring the Height of Decks. Deck height is determined by measuring from the ground to the top of the floor of the deck directly above the ground point.

Figure 17.08.030.C-4: Measuring the Height of Decks

Division I: General Provisions
Final Public Review Draft | Woodland Comprehensive Zoning Code | Division I, Page 9 Measuring Lot Width and Depth.

1. Lot Width. Lot width is the horizontal distance between the side lot lines, measured at right angles to the lot depth at a point midway between the front and rear lot lines.

2. Lot Depth. Lot depth is measured along an imaginary straight line drawn from the midpoint of the front property line of the lot to the midpoint of the rear property line or to the most distant point on any other lot line where there is no rear lot line. (See also definitions for lot line, front rear and side in Chapter 17.136, Definitions).

Figure 17.08.030.D-1: Measuring Lot Width and Depth
Determining Average Slope. The average slope of a lot is calculated using the following formula: S = 100(I)(L)/A, where:

S = Average slope (in percent)
I = Contour interval (in feet)
L = Total length of all contour lines on the lot (in feet) A = Area of subject lot (in square feet)
Determining Floor Area. The floor area of a building is the sum of the gross horizontal areas of all floors of a building or other enclosed structure.

1. Included in Floor Area. Floor area includes, but is not limited to, habitable space (as defined in the California Building Code) including basements and cellars that are below the roof and within the outer surface of the main walls of principal or accessory buildings or the centerlines of party walls separating such buildings or portions thereof or within lines drawn parallel to and two feet within the roof line of any building without walls. In the case of a multi-story building that has covered or

Division I: General Provisions
Division I, Page 10 | Woodland Comprehensive Zoning Code | Final Public Review Draft enclosed stairways, stairwells or elevator shafts, the horizontal area of such features shall be counted only once at the floor level of their greatest area of horizontal extent.

2. Excluded from Floor Area. Floor area does not include mechanical, electrical, and communication equipment rooms that do not exceed two percent of the building’s gross floor area; bay windows or other architectural projections where the vertical distance between the lowest surface of the projection and the finished floor is 30 inches or greater; areas that qualify as usable open space; and areas used for offstreet parking spaces or loading spaces; driveways; ramps between floors of a multilevel parking garage; and maneuvering aisles that are located below the finished grade of the property. Gross square floor area excludes areas of a building devoted to flood protection measures.

3. Nonresidential Uses. For nonresidential uses, gross floor area includes pedestrian access interior walkways or corridors, interior courtyards, walkways, paseos, or corridors covered by a roof or skylight. Nonresidential gross floor area does not include arcades, porticoes, and similar open areas that are located at or near street level and are accessible to the general public but are not designed or used as sales, display, storage, service, or production areas.

Determining Floor Area Ratio. Floor area ratio (FAR) is the ratio of the floor area, excluding the areas described below, of all principal and accessory buildings on a site to the site area.

To calculate FAR, floor area is divided by site area, and typically expressed as a decimal. For example, if the floor area of all buildings on a site totals 20,000 square feet, and the site area is 10,000 square feet, the FAR is expressed as 2.0.

1. Excluded from Floor Area in Calculating FAR.
a. Underground areas. Floor area located below finished grade. b. Parking. Parking areas located below finished grade or beneath the finished floor of habitable space where the vertical distance between the finished floor of habitable space and finished grade is less than six feet.

Figure 17.08.030.G-1: Determining Floor Area Ratio
Determining Lot Coverage. Lot coverage is the ratio of the total footprint area of all structures on a lot to the net lot area, typically expressed as a percentage. The footprints of all principal and accessory structures, including garages, carports, covered patios, and roofed porches, shall be summed in order to calculate lot coverage. The following structures shall be excluded from the calculation:

Division I: General Provisions
Final Public Review Draft | Woodland Comprehensive Zoning Code | Division I, Page 11

1. Unenclosed and unroofed decks, uncovered patio slab, porches, landings, balconies and stairways less than 30 inches in height;

2. Eaves and roof overhangs projecting up to 2.5 feet from a wall;

3. Fences, walls and hedges;

4. Trellises and similar structures that have roofs that are at least 50 percent open to the sky through with uniformly distributed openings;

5. Swimming pools and hot tubs that are not enclosed in roofed structures or decks; and

6. One small, non-habitable accessory structure under 120 square feet and under seven feet high. Structures above quantity of one shall be included in lot coverage.

Figure 17.08.030.H-1: Determining Lot Coverage
Determining Lot Frontage. The lot frontage is the line separating the lot from the street rightof-way.

1. Corner Lots. In the case of a corner lot, the owner may choose which street he or she shall designate as the front of the lot, subject to approval by the Community Development Department and the Fire Department. Once the choice of frontage has been made, it cannot be changed unless all requirements for yard space are complied with. The lot frontage shall provide primary ingress/egress to the front door/primary entrance unless otherwise approved by the Community Development Department and the Fire Department.

2. Through Lot. In the case of a through lot, the lot frontage is the line that abuts the street that neighboring lots use to provide primary access.

Determining Required Setbacks. A line defining a required setback is parallel to and at the specified distance from the corresponding front, side, or rear property line. The following special regulations for determining setbacks when a lot abuts a proposed street or alley.

Required setbacks shall be unobstructed from the ground to the sky except where allowed pursuant to Section 17.64.060, Projections Into Required Setbacks, subject to compliance with the California Building Code, or as otherwise allowed in this Code.

Division I: General Provisions
Division I, Page 12 | Woodland Comprehensive Zoning Code | Final Public Review Draft

1. Required Setbacks on Alleys.
a. If a side lot line abuts an alley, the side abutting the alley shall be considered an interior side rather than a corner side.
b. In calculating the required setback for any lot abutting an alley or private driveway, no part of the width of the alley or private driveway may be considered as part of the required setback.

2. Setbacks Abutting Planned Street Expansions. If a property abuts an existing or proposed street for which the existing right-of-way is narrower than the right-of-way ultimately required for the street, the required setback shall be established from the edge of the future right-of-way.

Measuring Yards. Yards shall be measured as the distance between the nearest lot line and the closest point on the exterior of a building or structure along a line at right angles to the lot line.

Figure 17.08.030.K-1: Measuring Yards
Measuring Signs. The calculations of measurements related to signs are described in Section

17.72.040, General Standards for All Signs.

Final Public Review Draft | Woodland Comprehensive Zoning Code | Division II, Page 1 Chapter 17.24 Residential Zones

17.24.010 Purpose and Applicability
The purpose of this Chapter is to provide for the development of residential dwellings that are suitable to the character of Woodland’s residential neighborhoods while allowing for neighborhood services that meet the daily needs of residents. Additional purposes of each zone are described below.

A. Low-Density Residential (R-L). The R-L zone is intended to accommodate primarily lowdensity housing with private yards and private parking to ensure adequate light, air, privacy, and open space for each dwelling; to provide space for community facilities needed to complement urban residential areas and for institutions which require a residential environment. The R-L zone implements areas of the Low Density Residential General Plan land use designation.

B. Neighborhood Preservation (NP). The purpose of the NP zone is to stabilize and protect the established diverse character of older, predominately residential neighborhoods, where a mix of housing types and other uses exist. These areas are along the fringes of the Downtown zones and are characterized by homes generally constructed prior to 1940. This zone is intended to be applied to those areas designated Low Density Residential in the General Plan.

This zone is intended to provide space for community facilities needed to complement urban residential areas and for institutions which require a residential environment.

C. Residential Low-Medium (R-LM). The R-LM zone is intended to provide a variety of housing types where a compatible mixture of low and medium density housing will provide a suitable environment for family living; to ensure adequate light, air, privacy, and open space for each dwelling; to provide space for community facilities needed to complement urban residential areas and for institutions which require a residential environment. The R-LM zone implements areas of the Medium-Low-Medium Density Residential General Plan land use designation.

D. Residential Medium (R-M). The R-M zone is intended to provide residential areas which can accommodate a suitable mixture of more intensive land uses, including multiple-unit dwellings, community facilities, and limited commercial and office uses compatible with the surrounding area. The R-M zone also accommodates a range of detached and attached housing types including triplexes, fourplexes, and townhomes. The R-M zone implements the Medium Density Residential General Plan land use designation.

E. Residential High (R-H). The R-H zone is intended to accommodate a mix of higher density multi-unit development types including rowhouses and stacked flats (apartments or condominiums). Units can be contained in single structures or in a collection of cohesive structures with common open spaces and amenities. Multi-story structures are intended to include centrally located parking in order to provide urban intensity at locations within easy walking distance to transit, recreation, and community facilities. In addition, ancillary commercial uses as well as medical and professional offices may be allowed when found to be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. The R-H zone implements the High Density Residential General Plan land use designation.

Final Public Review Draft | Woodland Comprehensive Zoning Code | Division II, Page 7 Chapter 17.28 Downtown

17.28.010 Purpose and Applicability
The purpose of this Chapter is to provide for the development of a range of uses suitable to the character of Downtown Woodland. Additional purposes of each zone are described below.

A. Downtown Core (DX-1). The Downtown Core zone is intended to support a diverse mix of offices, housing, and active uses such as theaters, retail, professional services, restaurants, and entertainment in Woodland’s historic downtown core. The zone envisions primarily a vertical mix of uses that support a vibrant district centered on Main Street. The DX-1 zone implements areas of the Downtown Mixed Use General Plan land use designation.

B. Downtown Civic (DX-2). The Downtown Civic zone is intended to support a mix of public uses and offices, housing, retail, professional services, and open space in the Court Street corridor of Woodland’s historic downtown core. The zone envisions both vertical and horizontal mix of uses that support a vibrant and walkable civic-oriented downtown district. The DX-2 zone implements areas of the Downtown Mixed Use General Plan land use designation.

C. Downtown Transitional (DX-3). The Downtown Transitional zone is intended to support a mix of offices, housing, and active uses on the edges of Woodland’s historic downtown core.

Centered on the Lincoln Avenue and North Street corridors, this zone provides a transition from the downtown core to the residential neighborhoods north and south of the zone. The zone supports vertical and horizontal mixed-use development with a lower intensity urban feel that provides walkable transition to the residential neighborhoods to the north and south.

The DX-3 zone implements areas of the Downtown Mixed Use General Plan land use designation.

D. Downtown Gateway (DX-4). The Downtown Gateway zone supports a vibrant mixed-use node at the primary entry point to Woodland’s historic downtown core. Centered on Main Street between 5th Street and East Street, the DX-4 zone facilitates a mix of uses and open spaces that welcome residents and visitors to the Downtown, that intensify opportunity areas abutting the railroad, and that ensure appropriate transitions to the corridor, downtown, and residential areas. The DX-4 zone implements areas of the Downtown Mixed Use General Plan land use designation.

Final Public Review Draft | Woodland Comprehensive Zoning Code | Division II, Page 15 Chapter 17.32 Mixed-Use Zones

17.32.010 Purpose and Applicability
The purpose of this Chapter is to provide for the development of a range of uses suitable to the character of Woodland’s corridors. Additional purposes of each zone are described below.

A. Corridor Mixed-Use-West Main (CMU-WM). West of Downtown, the CMU-WM Zone is a mixed-use corridor intended to accommodate residential infill and neighborhood-serving retail. The residential density and intensity of non-residential uses are intended to give the corridor an urban character and revitalize and replace older strip commercial development.

Residential, retail, commercial service, and office uses are permitted in a horizontal or vertical mixed-use setting to enhance the streetscape. The CMU-WM zone implements the Corridor Mixed-use General Plan land use designation.

B. Corridor Mixed-Use-East (CMU-E). The Corridor Mixed-Use-East zone facilitates the revitalization of the auto-oriented East Street corridor. Supporting a mix of uses, the zone permits a flexibility of design intended to enhance the urban character and streetscape of the corridor. Residential, retail, commercial service, office, and light industrial uses are permitted in a horizontal or vertical mixed-use configuration. The CMU-E zone implements the Corridor Mixed-use General Plan land use designation.

C. Corridor Mixed-Use-Armfield (CMU-A). The Corridor Mixed-Use-Armfield zone supports a mix of uses similar to the CMU-E zone and permits a flexibility of design intended to enhance the urban character and streetscape of the area with residential, retail, commercial service, and office, uses in a horizontal or vertical mixed-use configuration while providing appropriate transitions and buffers between newer higher intensity uses and existing single family residential uses. The CMU-A zone implements the Corridor Mixed-use General Plan land use designation.

D. Corridor Mixed-Use-Kentucky (CMU-K). The Corridor Mixed-Use-Kentucky zone accommodates a mix of uses including service and light industrial uses. Residential uses are allowed on the south side of Kentucky. The zone allows this area to continue to function as an agriculture-industrial corridor while sensitively integrating new, mixed-use development to activate specific sections of the corridor. The CMU-K zone implements the Corridor Mixed-use General Plan land use designation.

E. Corridor Mixed-Use-Flex (CMU-F). The Corridor Mixed-Use-Flex zone supports a sensitive transition between the North East Street corridor and the industrial areas to the east. Like the CMU-E zone, it facilitates the revitalization of the auto-oriented East Street corridor and supports a mix of uses to enhance the urban character and streetscape of the corridor, with residential, retail, commercial service, office, and light industrial uses in a horizontal or vertical mixed-use configuration. Smaller-scale custom, light industrial and artisan manufacturing are allowed to add flexibility and vitality to the corridor. The CMU-F zone implements the Corridor Mixed-use General Plan land use designation.

F. Community Commercial Mixed-Use (CCMU). The Community Commercial Mixed-Use zone is intended to support commercial development that serves local neighborhoods as well as the rest of the City but does not regularly attract regional, visitor, or pass-through traffic. Uses

Division II: Zone Regulations
Division II, Page 16 | Woodland Comprehensive Zoning Code | Final Public Review Draft in this zone include retail, services, grocery stores, restaurants, professional offices, hotels and similar commercial uses, as well as higher density housing and mixed-use development. The CCMU zone implements the Community Commercial General Plan land use designation.

G. Neighborhood Mixed-Use (NMU). The Neighborhood Mixed-Use zone supports commercial development that meets the needs of local neighborhoods. Uses in this zone include smallerscale retail, grocery stores, office, and service-oriented businesses, as well as higher density housing and mixed-use development. The NMU zone implements the Neighborhood Commercial General Plan land use designation.

17.32.020 Use Regulations
