Sustainability Advisory Committee
Chairperson’s Year-in-Review | Robert Ullrey, Chair from 2023 – Spring 2024 The Committee was formed with the following purposes:
o Provide comments, feedback, and recommendations to the City Council on sustainability policy and issues related to CAP implementation.
o Advise and assist staff on sustainability program design and implementation. o Serve as a forum for public input and feedback on issues related to sustainability and CAP implementation.
o Assist staff in promoting community-wide CAP implementation.

Key accomplishments during Mr. Ullrey’s tenure as Chair include:

Recommendations concerning General Fund resources (originally from the American Rescue Plan) earmarked for sustainability
• As directed by City Council, the SAC discussed and ultimately recommended bikefriendly improvements near the Downtown Core, particularly on Court St. Highest considered options included:
o Court Street Improvements: Court Street is a key bike route in and out of Downtown. This project would include identifying opportunities for signage, striping, and possible capital improvements to improve bicyclist safety on Court Street between roughly Sixth and West.
o Bicycle Lockers Pilot: City staff would identify a suitable location for a number of “lockers” to help bicycle commuters safely and reliably store their bike during the day.
o General Signage & Striping: City staff would identify key locations on Main Street and First Street for striping and signage improvements. Examples may include signs that educate drivers and bicyclists on proper driving etiquette, signs directing people towards bike parking, “sharrows” in the streets, and more.

Page 28 ends

Approved May 15, 2024
o Bike-Friendly Grant Program: The City would create and administer a grant program to support small businesses investing in bike-friendly infrastructure such as bike racks or bike purchases for business operations. • In addition, in Spring 2024 the SAC advised staff to proceed with a Yolo Solano Air Quality Management District (YSAQMD) grant application to pursue the bike locker concept above.
• Met with City Council during the council’s summer workshop to discuss the city’s sustainability plan and barriers and achievements.

Discussion and Review of Climate Action Plan report prepared by Berkeley Goldman School of Public Policy students in Spring 2023
• This report helped spur SAC efforts to focus on distinct goals and initiatives. In particular, it encouraged a renewed focus on community engagement (see “Green Drinks” below)
Launched Woodland arm of “Green Drinks”
• These informal gatherings happen worldwide (www.greendrinks.org) and encourage discussion about sustainability, climate change, and resilience. • Sustainability Advisory Committee members started the tradition in Woodland in Fall 2023 and held their second gathering in April 2024 to build community and connections among interested residents.

Shared Feedback and Questions Concerning Key Citywide Efforts • Staff and the SAC worked together to solicit feedback on two broader ongoing efforts:
the recently-adopted Active Transportation Plan and the in-progress Comprehensive Zoning Code update. Given the nexus between active transportation (primarily biking and walking), land use, and sustainability, these targeted presentations and business items gave the SAC a tailored opportunity to advise the City on next steps.

Trees Advisory Member Appointment
• The City’s updated Tree Ordinance outlines a role for one Sustainability Advisory Committee member when considering street tree removal.
o Section 12.48.040 states that “The Parks and Recreation Commission shall appoint two members to an Urban Forest Subcommittee to review matters outlined in this chapter. One member of the Sustainability Advisory Committee will be advisory to this subcommittee. The Urban Forest Subcommittee will make recommendations to the Community Services Director on proposed removals of street trees requested by the public through the tree permit process.” • The SAC discussed and appointed a member to serve in this advisory capacity.

F. MEMBER REPORTS
Frankenbach: Green Schools Program aka Cool Schools Program update: Woodland Tree Foundation involved with a grant from the Texas Tree Foundation to help green 5 schools in Woodland. Tree Foundation members have met with each school principal to discuss grant goals:
increase shade and cooling with tree planting, and create an outdoor classroom environment for students to learn about the outdoors and connect with nature. Texas Tree Foundation is assuming a consulting role to help administer the grant here in Woodland. The next phase will include meetings with representatives and interested parties from each school to get input on how to design each school. They hope to have a finalized draft plan by early next year, and anticipate starting projects in Spring 2025 with full build-out by Summer 2025. One goal is to reach 30% tree canopy for each school while including the students in the tree planting.

Serena: There is a new organization called YoloSol, organizing the tending and gathering garden at the Cache Creek Conservancy. They are starting a course called “Tule FunDays” that starts on Sunday 4/21 for those interested in learning about Tule gathering and traditional uses. YoloSol will continue putting out programming related to sharing their traditional ecological knowledge.

Yolo County Climate Action Commission looking to hire new CivicSpark staff – looking for local individuals to support efforts. Previous CivicSpark staff have not come from Yolo County and commission would like more local Yolo County staff who are more familiar with the area.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: June 4, 2024
ITEM #: F.7
SUBJECT: Waste Management Delinquent Garbage/Refuse
Accounts - Call for Public Hearing
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council set a Public Hearing for July 2, 2024, to hear and approve the list of Delinquent Refuse Accounts and direct the Tax Collector of Yolo County to assess liens against real property to collect delinquent payments.

Staff Contact:

Ana B. Gonzalez, City Clerk (530) 661-5806, [email protected] Fiscal Impact:

There is little to no fiscal impact on the City to maintain the current process, other than time constraints for processing and releasing the liens. The fees for the recordings are attached to the total amount liened, so the property owner assumes that cost.

Report in Brief:

This action requests that the City Council set a date for the annual adoption of a Resolution to lien local properties for failure to pay for their Waste Management services. Staff recommends that the City Council set a Public Hearing for July 2, 2024, to hear and approve the list of Delinquent Refuse Accounts and direct the Tax Collector of Yolo County to assess liens against real property to collect delinquent payments. Before filing a lien with the County, a Public Hearing needs to be held to allow protests of the proposed liens.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: June 4, 2024
ITEM #: F.8
SUBJECT: Contract Award - FY25 Tree Pruning and
Maintenance Services
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. _____, authorizing the City Manager to execute the FY25 tree pruning and maintenance service contract with West Coast Arborists, Inc. (WCA) in the amount not-to-exceed $648,783.

Staff Contact:

Jenna Moncrief, Management Analyst, (530) 661-2023, [email protected] Fiscal Impact:

The amount of $628,783 for cyclical pruning will be funded by the general fund and lighting and landscape districts. This funding is included in the proposed FY25 budget. The contract will have an additional contingency for up to $20,000. The contingency funding will be available for unanticipated maintenance services. The total compensation for FY25 shall not exceed $648,783.

Background:

Urban forests provide a wide range of community benefits, including energy savings, storm water retention, air quality improvements, carbon sequestration, increased property value, and more. The City’s 2018 Urban Forest Resource Analysis performed by Davey Resource Group valued the cumulative benefits of public trees at nearly $1.7 million. Proper tree care, like cyclical pruning, will protect the City’s investment in its over 18,000 public trees and ensure that the urban forest continues to add value to our community for years to come.

Cyclical tree pruning is a standard maintenance procedure that is performed by most agencies across the country in an effort to promote a healthy urban forest and mitigate potential liability. The City of Woodland Climate Action Plan, approved by Council in May 2017, identifies cyclical pruning as a strategy to maintain existing trees and, thus, accomplish goals in the Urban Forest and Open Space focus area (Strategy UF-3). In addition, the Urban Forest Master Plan, approved by Council in March of 2019 supports the ongoing, regular maintenance of the City’s Urban Forest. Specifically, Goal #5 is that all public trees should be pruned and maintained on a 7-year cycle depending on funding and resources.

This task, in addition to reactive maintenance, cannot be completely accomplished with in-house staff. The City currently has less than two approved full-time positions in the Urban Forestry division.

With over 18,000 City trees to maintain and limited Urban Forestry staff, it is necessary to contract out most of the tree pruning and maintenance services.

Discussion:

Staff is requesting approval of a service agreement from July 1, 2024-October 31, 2025 with West Coast Arborists, Inc. (WCA), a professional tree maintenance company that possesses the means and a strong historical working knowledge of our City’s urban forest, to fulfill tree care services. WCA has a well-established working relationship with the City of Woodland, as well as many other local agencies in our area, including the City of Sacramento, West Sacramento, Roseville, Elk Grove, and Davis. This contract will allow for the City to stay up-to-date on the 7-year pruning cycle.

Page 36 ends

Staff proposes that the City Council approve the professional service agreement by “piggy-backing” off of the City of Sacramento’s procurement process as was done in previous fiscal years. City of Woodland Municipal Code section 3.32.140(c) provides that the City does not have to perform its own competitive bid procedure for non-public projects in certain circumstances, including when a competitive bid procedure has been conducted by another public agency (including another local agency), and the price to the City is equal to or better than the price to the other public agency. The City’s Code also provides that landscape maintenance projects are considered non-public projects.

The City of Sacramento issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for landscape maintenance. The City of Sacramento received six proposals, which were evaluated based on: (1) capabilities, qualifications, and experience; (2) references; and (3) the relative value offered by competitive pricing. The City of Sacramento determined that WCA was the most qualified contractor to provide tree maintenance services. The City of Sacramento City Council awarded a two-year nonprofessional services agreement to WCA on June 13, 2023 in the amount of, not to exceed $4 million.

The City of Woodland has less extensive maintenance needs than the City of Sacramento but can use the economy-of-scale pricing that Sacramento received due to its large urban forest. City staff is recommending that the City enter into a one-year agreement with WCA.

Another benefit associated with this contract is the requirement to provide detailed electronic documentation of all maintenance performed on our trees. This information can then be easily uploaded into our Maintenance Management Software (MMS) and used for tracking maintenance, as well as identifying immediate and potential long-term issues.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. _____, authorizing the City Manager to execute the FY25 tree pruning and maintenance service contract with West Coast Arborists, Inc. (WCA) in the amount not-to-exceed $648,783.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: June 4, 2024
ITEM #: F.9
SUBJECT: Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Bidding for the Pacific Flyway Pond Enhancement
Project, CIP 24-10
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, approving the project plans and specifications, and authorizing bid advertisement for the Pacific Flyway Pond Enhancement Project, CIP 24-10.

Staff Contact:

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

The budget for the project includes $1,672,000 in grant funds from the Wildlife Conservation Board and a minimum of $246,000 in local matching funds for a total of $1,972,000 in work funded as part of the grant program. The grant program covers approximately 87% of grant related project work. The project budget also includes $400,000 in local match funds from the WPCF Treatment Plant Biosolids Project, CIP #10-11 for a project budget of $2,072,000 as approved by Council on February 2, 2024. The grant program will reimburse the City for project expenses which will repay the Sewer Enterprise Fund as the project progresses. The pond site has been used for wastewater treatment facility sludge stabilization for several decades and this project essentially completes the conversion of the site from a wastewater treatment facility to a regional migratory bird habitat and regional storm water detention pond.

With the completion of the North Regional Pond & Pump Station Project, CIP 17-21, several years ago, the pond site began service as a regional storm water detention pond with approximately 90 acres of open water and 20 acres of upland. The large amount of open water has resulted in excessive erosion on the banks of the pond. The City has operation and maintenance responsibility for the pond and the purpose of the project is to reduce erosion and long term O&M costs while enhancing migratory bird and shorebird habitat through permanent landscaping around the pond perimeter and creation of islands in the pond. The grant includes 3 years of O&M to establish the landscaping and long term O&M costs are expected to be lower than without permanent landscaping.

Council approved an agreement with Yolo County Resource Conservation District (RCD) on February 6, 2024, for just under $1.1 million for the planting work and initial Operations & Maintenance work.

The Engineer’s Estimate of construction cost is $600,000 for the earthwork project. The estimated total project cost is $700,000 and includes construction, construction contingency, design, construction management and inspection costs.

There is no impact on the City’s General Fund.

Background:

Council approved Resolution No. 8060 in support of the Wildlife Conservation Board grant application on May 2, 2023. The Wildlife Conservation Board approved a grant in the amount of $1,672,000 to establish landscaping and habitat for migratory birds and for shorebirds and to facilitate ongoing

O&M of the Pacific Flyway Pond.

The Pacific Flyway Pond site was previously used as part of the wastewater treatment process for sludge stabilization for several decades until around 1989. The pond system was abandoned between 1989 and 2010, resulting in significant algae and odor issues in the summer months. In early 2010, a project removed the accumulated organic material from the Pacific Flyway Pond and stockpiled the material in the southeast corner (Pond 9). The site was further excavated to provide fill for the Woodland-Davis Clean Water Agency Regional Water Treatment Facility. In April 2012, the pond site was removed from the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for the Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF). In 2019, the pond site was converted to become a regional storm water detention facility with the purposes of reducing peak storm drainage flows and improving storm water quality.

Landscaping work to complete the site was not included in the earlier work other than wetland plantings along a portion of the southern edge of the pond. Consequently, the banks of the pond have experienced significant erosion and will require increased operation and maintenance (O&M) costs to maintain the pond and to repair the damage that has already occurred. The pond also contains a large shallow area that has the potential to grow large amounts of tules and cattails, which would degrade the primary function of the pond as storm water treatment and be expensive to remove.

The pond has recently become popular with migratory birds and upland Pond 9 was host to approximately 5,000 tri-colored blackbirds in 2020. Tri-colored blackbirds are an endangered species and UC-Davis documented their presence on the site in 2020 and again last year. This Spring, approximately 7,000 tri-colored blackbirds have made the site their home with several returnees from the 2020 group. The pond has been documented as hosting several thousand migratory birds daily during their migration season and over 50 species on a daily basis.

Last winter, the north and south banks of the pond experienced significant erosion due to high water and wind-driven waves. The portion of the pond bank that had previously been landscaped did not experience erosion. The grant provides the majority of the funding to complete wetland vegetation around the pond, excavate the shallow portion of the pond to minimize tule and cattail growth, and landscaping for Pond 9 for tri-colored blackbirds. The project would reduce long term O&M costs for the pond while enhancing environmental values.

Discussion:

The pond has a perimeter of over 9,000 linear feet with a combination of steep and flat slopes along the banks. The property is approximately 110 acres in size with approximately 90 acres of open water. The perimeter had mostly not been landscaped by earlier work and is currently vegetated by noxious weeds and the north and south shorelines have experienced significant erosion. The pond also has a large shallow shelf which is subject to tule growth. Tules would add an excessive amount of vegetation that would require removal. The pond 9 area is an upland area that was a former biosolids fill site from removing the material from the pond bottom. The grant provides the needed funds to landscape the perimeter with wetland vegetation and pond 9 with upland vegetation. The project would also excavate the shallow portion of the pond and create 2 islands with approximately 3 acres in surface area for bird habitat to minimize wind-driven wave erosion. The islands serve to reduce by half the wave formation fetch. The landscaping would enhance habitat for migratory birds and the tri-colored blackbird while reducing long term O&M costs by reducing erosion along the shoreline. This project is one of several in our area to improve habitat for migratory birds and is essentially an engineering with nature approach to pond management.

The project has CEQA coverage under Addendum 2 of the Woodland-Davis Clean Water Agency

Page 40 ends

(WDCWA) EIR. Addendum 2 covered the excavation of the pond site to provide fill material for the Regional Water Treatment Facility and also covered the conversion of the site to a regional storm water detention pond. A 2013 agreement between the City and WDCWA stipulates that the City will be responsible for establishing and maintaining the final vegetation in the pond.

Staff are coordinating with the RCD on the project and RCD will lead the majority of work including:
project management and reporting, habitat restoration and monitoring, and outreach and education. Staff will lead the earthwork and grading work within the pond site and provide overall project management. YCRCD will plant the vegetation around the pond perimeter. Planting events will be coordinated with the Student Landowner Education & Watershed Stewardship Program through the Center for Land-Based Learning, Woodland Tree Foundation, and Yolo Audubon Society. RCD will also monitor and maintain the vegetation for the three-year establishment period. The project schedule generally involves construction of the earthwork project, pond excavation and island formation in Fall 2024. The landscaping vegetation work began in Fall 2023 and will be completed in 2025 with the establishment period extending through June 2027.

ITEM #: F.10
SUBJECT: SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Appropriation
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, authorizing the appropriation of $163,146 of grant funds to the State Grants Fund (1325) to assist with the continued implementation of SB 1383.

Staff Contact:

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

The City of Woodland was recently awarded a grant from the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) in the amount of $163,146 to be used towards administering the regulations imposed by SB 1383 as it relates to reduction in organic waste disposal. The SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant was awarded based on a per capita calculation and requires no matching funds.

Background:

In September 2016, Governor Edmund Brown Jr. set methane emissions reduction targets for California (SB 1383, Lara) in a statewide effort to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants.

The targets must reduce organic waste disposal 50% by 2020 and 75% by 2025. Also, by 2025, it stipulates that localities must recover at least 20% of currently-disposed "surplus food" for people to eat.

In 2022, the City was awarded $86,966 in the first round of grants of the SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program. This grant is the second round of grant funding for continued SB 1383 assistance.

Discussion:

The grant funding will be used to assist with the continued implementation of regulation requirements associated with SB 1383, such as:
• Education and outreach for organic waste collection (including equipment, signage, etc.) • Edible food recovery implementation and expansion
• Enforcement, inspections, and contamination monitoring • Procurement of organic waste product (i.e., compost, mulch, etc.) Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, authorizing the appropriation of $163,146 of grant funds to the State Grants Fund (1325) to assist with the continued implementation of SB 1383.

ITEM #: G.11
SUBJECT: Final Hearing Draft Comprehensive Zoning Code Update Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council hold a Public Hearing and take the following actions associated with the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update:

1. Adopt a Resolution (Attachment 1) amending the 2035 General Plan and Land Use Map as a result of proposed Zoning Code updates;

3. Adopt a Resolution (Attachment 3) repealing the Downtown Specific Plan.

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 initiated a Comprehensive Zoning Code (CZC) Update and 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 Public Review Draft of the Comprehensive Zoning Code (CZC) was officially released at the September 19, 2023, City Council meeting. Following the release of the Public Review Draft, city staff held a series of public meetings with community members and stakeholders to present the draft code, respond to questions, and collect important feedback to be considered in the preparation of the final draft CZC, which is the subject of this report.

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

businesses.

On June 4, 2024, the City Council will be asked to consider the Final Hearing Draft CZC and take action to adopt the Comprehensive Zoning Code, accompanying Zoning Map, and related 2035 General Plan and Land Use Map amendments.

Background:

Zoning regulations are one of the primary tools a city has to implement the policies of the city’s General Plan, in particular those policies related to land use, site planning and building design. Zoning regulations directly and indirectly relate to the quality of life, health, sustainability and safety goals of the community as outlined in the 2035 General Plan and Climate Action Plan adopted in 2017. The City of Woodland's Zoning Code (Title 17 of the Woodland Municipal Code) is decades old and has been modified over the years to keep up with shifting growth patterns of the city and with various state requirements and legislation. The city has amended the code many times to provide improved usability and clarity around specific regulations; however, the code remains disjointed and difficult to navigate. The current zoning code includes antiquated use and development regulations that can deter businesses from expanding or locating in the community and that stifle high quality residential development.

Following the General Plan update in 2017, the City adopted an Interim Zoning Code which brought portions of the code into compliance with new land use designations established by the General Plan and addressed some areas of concern noted above. The interim code does not, however, apply to all zones throughout the city, nor general citywide standards, which make up a bulk of the code. It is the goal of the Comprehensive Zoning Code to provide clear, concise and intuitive guidelines and procedures across all segments of the code that incentivize growth patterns and business and housing development that reflect the goals and policies of the community as outlined in the 2035 General Plan.

Public Meetings and Outreach
Early in the CZC update process, staff met with various community stakeholders, including business owners, residents, architects, development partners, realtors, and housing advocates to understand their experiences and frustrations using the existing code and to receive recommendations on how the new code could be improved. Additionally, in late 2019, the Planning Commission and City Council held a joint public workshop to similarly discuss goals and objectives for the code update. The Public Hearing Draft CZC was ultimately released in September 2023, followed by overview presentations of the draft code at Planning Commission and City Council meetings and a series of community workshops focused on specific topic areas. A summary of key milestones and important dates for the CZC project are listed below, followed by a summary of public meetings and outreach to date:
• May 16, 2017 2035 General Plan Approved
• May 1, 2018 Interim Zoning Ordinance Approved
• August 20, 2019 Lisa Wise Consulting (LWC) was selected to prepare the Code update.
• October 2019 Stakeholder Interviews
• December 17, 2019 Joint PC and CC Workshop
• December 2019 Recommendations Memo
• April 7, 2020 Interim Zoning Ordinance Updated
• March 1, 2022 City Council Update Report
• March 17, 2022 Admin Draft Review and recommendation for a hybrid code • September 2022 Updated Admin Draft Code

Page 48 ends

• September 2022 – July 2023 Staff Review of CZC Drafts • March 21, 2023 6th Cycle Housing Element Adopted with program requirements for specific code updates
• September 19, 2023 Public Review Draft CZC released
• September - October 2023 Public Workshops
• April 2024 Final Hearing Draft CZC released
Throughout the CZC update process, the city provided an extensive amount of notification utilizing multiple methods in order to inform the public about the project, the availability of the draft CZC and the public workshops. Notification was sent out utilizing direct mail, email, listservs, press releases, display ads in the newspaper, and posting on various social media platforms. The city prepared a mailed informational notice that was sent to all owners of properties with a proposed land use zone change. The notice identified the anticipated zone change and provided dates for all workshops in September and October. In addition, workshop information was sent via email to all known interested stakeholders. Contact information from prior city projects was incorporated into the contact list. Notice was sent out through various city listservs including City of Woodland News, City of Woodland Weekly, and to other special groups such as the Downtown. Other social media platforms were used, including Facebook and Instagram. All of this, in addition to traditional notices with display ads in the newspaper, Council and Planning Commission presentations with TV/streaming and posting on the Comprehensive Zoning Code web page (https://www.cityofwoodland.gov/1165/Comprehensive-Zoning-Update), presentation to the Sustainability Advisory Committee, and meetings with individual stakeholders and residents.

Upon release of the draft CZC, multiple public meetings were held. All meetings were recorded and posted on the CZC web page. Meetings were held at different times of the day to facilitate participation and had a focused subject, as follows:
• September 19 & 21, 2023 – Code release and Overview at City Council and Planning Commission (evening)
• October 5, 2023 – Planning Commission Workshop – Development Standards Focus (6:30 PM))
• October 18, 2023 – Commercial and Mixed-Use Focused Workshop (6:00 PM) • October 19, 2023 – Planning Commission Workshop – Housing Focus (6:30 PM) • October 24, 2023 – General and Industrial Focused Workshop (11:30 AM) • October 25, 2023 – Downtown Focused Workshop (9:00 AM) All meetings were held in the City Council chambers to allow recording, and posted on the CZC web page at: https://cityofwoodland.org/1167/Community-Outreach. Additional informational videos and informational tools were provided, including an interactive GIS Zoning Comparison Map to allow independent search of properties regarding proposed zone changes, https://gis.cityofwoodland.org/portal/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=cb4b68513a014770bdf2ba1d cbe4c686.

Staff recorded and identified public comments (Attachment 11) on the Public Review Draft which were shared with the City Council and Planning Commission in December and February. Additional public comments received after the summary table was released and/or through subsequent meetings or discussion are not reflected in the table, but were considered and incorporated into the Final Hearing Draft code where appropriate.

Page 49 ends

At the December 19, 2023, City Council meeting, staff sought guidance from the Council on topics of discussion raised during the outreach process that could result in broader implications for code implementation and/or warranted policy level discussion. Those topics included:
• Zone Changes from Residential Duplex (R-2) to Residential Low Medium (R-LM) • Allowing Triplex and Fourplex buildings in the Residential Low (R-L) and Neighborhood Preservation (NP) Zones
• Recreational Vehicle Storage and Parking on Residential Properties • Inclusion of Business Park (BP) and Corridor Mixed Use-Gateway Pre- Annexation Zones • Commercial Cannabis in the Downtown
Upon receiving final comment and recommendation from City Council on those topic areas listed above, staff began preparing the Final Draft document for consideration and final recommendation/action by the Planning Commission and City Council in May and June 2024. Notification of the Final Hearing Draft availability and final public hearings was similarly provided through a variety of means, including social media posts, email, traditional mail to properties where zones are changing, and publication in the Daily Democrat.

Review Documents
The current Woodland Zoning Code was comprehensively updated through a complete re-write that incorporated elements of the current zoning code, interim zoning ordinance and the Downtown Specific Plan. As such, a track change version from the current code is not practical. While some elements of the current code have carried forward into the updated code, nearly every section of the code has been edited, completed re-written and/or moved to the appropriate new division of the code/ordinance. A completely new document was therefore provided with the Public Hearing Draft released in September 2023. The Final Hearing Draft CZC, released in April 2024, does include a track change version available online, https://www.cityofwoodland.gov/1168/Documents, showing modifications made between the Public Hearing Draft and the Final Hearing Draft (see CZC Modifications since Public Review Draft Release section below for further discussion of those modifications).

Similarly, proposed Zoning and Land Use map amendments are provided on the document web page.

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 Code, also referred to as "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

Page 50 ends

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.

Many 2035 General Plan goals and policies have directly or indirectly guided the development of the CZC, including (not exhaustive):

1. Goal 2.A Growth and Change. Support sustainable growth through orderly, well planned development that provides for economic growth, strong social ties, protection of the environment, an enhanced quality of life, and preservation of Woodland’s community character and agricultural heritage.

2. Policy 2.A.6 Infill Development. Encourage infill, redevelopment of and development on underutilized sites, adaptive reuse, and the restoration of historic buildings in existing urbanized areas to enhance community character, promote pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly neighborhoods, increase housing diversity, ensure integrity of historic districts, optimize city investment in infrastructure, support increased transit use, and enhance economic vitality.

3. Policy 2.A.8 Gateways and Corridors. Transform the city’s main corridors to become lively, mixed use places that connect the city’s neighborhoods. Create distinctive, thriving gateway centers at I-5 and SR 113 that serve as inviting entrances to the city while maximizing the economic potential of these assets.

4. Policy 2.C.1 Compact Form. Promote compact development patterns, mixed land use, and higher-development intensities that conserve land resources, reduce vehicle trips, improve air quality, and facilitate walking, bicycling, and transit use. Achieving the benefits of compact development as supported in this General Plan may result in potential tradeoffs related to traffic, noise, open space, and privacy. Sensitive design and appropriate performance standards may assist in mitigating these concerns. Where growth and increased density is allowed pursuant to this General Plan, these issues are acknowledged and accepted.

5. Policy 2.E.3 Transition Areas. Promote the sensitive design of transition areas between different land uses in order to ensure compatibility, and encourage a gradual and compatible shift in scale between different densities and intensities of various uses. Where residential development abuts farmland, a strong urban edge should be maintained, avoiding very low density rural residential development to promote efficiency in land use.

6. Goal 2.F Distinctive and Memorable Places. Through appropriate regulations, promote community design that produces a distinctive, high-quality built environment, with form and character that reflects Woodland’s unique historic, environmental, and architectural context and creates memorable places that enrich community life.

7. Policy 2.F.1 Development Regulations. Promote design excellence by ensuring that development regulations clearly express both desired and intended outcomes, in addition to those that may be prohibited or undesired.

8. Policy 2.F.2 Zoning. Prepare a comprehensive Zoning Code update that includes performance and/or form-based zoning regulations as appropriate. The updated Zoning Code will provide a clear and consistent set of procedures, actions, and administrative guidance to implement the Vision, Guiding Principles, goals, and policies of this General Plan while ensuring the sensitive treatment of existing nonconforming uses.

9. Goal 2.G Existing Neighborhoods. Recognize, maintain and celebrate the unique qualities of Woodland’s traditional residential neighborhoods.

10. Policy 2.G.1 Distinctive Characteristics. Maintain the distinctive characteristics of neighborhoods developed in different eras, including those developed prior to WWII, post-war, and in more recent decades.

Page 51 ends

11. Policy 2.G.2 Sensitive New Development. Require new construction, additions, renovations, and infill to be physically compatible with neighborhood context, historic development patterns, and building form and scale.

12. Policy 2.G.3 Neighborhood Preservation Zone. Maintain the Neighborhood Preservation zoning district to foster sensitively designed development at an appropriate density and scale in existing older neighborhood districts.

13. Policy 2.H.1 Mixed Use (Downtown). Support new mixed-use development Downtown with an emphasis on ground-level retail and dining with upper-story residential and office uses, particularly on Main Street. Encourage an active and vibrant Downtown with a 24/7 presence by allowing a mix of entertainment, retail, and cultural uses as well as residential and office uses.

14. Policy 2.I.2 Increase Density. Within mixed-use corridors, encourage replacement of older, low-scale, auto-oriented development with well-designed, higher-density, new projects that offer pedestrian orientation, more efficient use of land, and continued, productive economic value.

Legislative Updates and Requirements
A critical purpose for the update is to ensure that the CZC addresses numerous legislative updates and requirements. Since 2017, the State of California has passed a significant amount of legislation relating to housing with a primary emphasis on streamlining the production of new housing and removing barriers. Grants from the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) have assisted in funding the CZC update and require the new code to utilize objective design standards that clearly articulate development standards and minimize the review process for housing projects. Objective standards have also been provided for commercial, mixed use and industrial developments in the CZC to clarify desired site and building design expectations and provide certainty through the review process. 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.

Guiding Principles and Objectives for the Comprehensive Code Update The Comprehensive Zoning Code (Attachment 6) 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 growth and quality of life outcomes. Development regulations and design standards were assessed, taking into consideration environmental and climate considerations, as well as housing and jobs, in order to allow for a resilient and equitable community. 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.

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.

Page 52 ends

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 unique 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.

Comprehensive Code Framework and Features
The CZC has been organized into the following five (5) major divisions 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, as follows:
- 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 tiered review process that better reflects the complexities of a variety of use and/or development proposals. 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.

Page 53 ends

Key features of the CZC incorporated throughout the document that make it more user-friendly, intuitive and modernized, include:
• Graphic examples and generalized tables to present information whenever possible. • "Objective design standards” for all districts.
• Performance standards to address sensitive adjacency issues such as odors, dust, and contamination.
• Updated parking standards and reduced overly burdensome requirements. • Streamlining for food, agricultural and other industries that provide high quality and well-paying jobs.
• Updates and clarification of non-conforming use standards. • Updated permitted land use table to incentivize desired uses in line with General Plan quality of life and economic development goals.
• Updated standards that apply to all properties, such as fencing, outdoor storage, landscaping, parking, and lighting.
• Performance and design standards and criteria that apply to specific uses such as alcohol sales, auto services, bed and breakfast, emergency shelters, mobile vendors, temporary uses, etc. to reduce potential impacts on adjacent properties. • Updated height, setbacks, lot coverage, and other development standards appropriate to each zone.
• Revised and modernized sign standards to comply with legislative requirements to be content neutral.
• New Administration section that clearly describes and outlines all permit and entitlement review requirements and procedures.
• Clarified public notice procedures.
• Roles and responsibilities for all recommending and approving bodies. • Rules of Measurement.
• Clear understandable procedures for exceptions from standards and when allowed. • Comprehensive list of definitions of terms and uses.
• Names of individual zoning districts are refined to more clearly reflect the character and intent of each zone and to better align with General Plan terminology. (See Attachment 10, Comparison Crosswalk between existing and proposed Zones.) Additionally, key modifications from the current code include:
• Incorporation of historical standards and land use elements of the Downtown Specific Plan (DSP) into the CZC to ultimately retire the Specific Plan and provide a "one stop document" for simplicity and continuity.
• Five existing Downtown zones are consolidated into four zones to better reflect the General Plan vision for the Downtown as a lifestyle and entertainment destination, and in recognition of important transition areas.
• Existing Area E-2 of the DSP transitioned to CMU-East Street to better reflect its context and existing uses.
• New provisions incorporated that allow for limited retail uses, like a corner coffee shop or deli, in lower density residential zones, in addition to already permitted home-based businesses. • Increased development intensity standards (such as lot coverage and setbacks) for the Community Commercial Mixed Use (CCMU), Regional Commercial (RC), Regional Commercial Flex (RCF), Industrial Flex (IF) and Industrial General (IG) zones to allow

Page 54 ends

appropriate intensity of development and encourage more efficient use of limited land resources.
• Limitations pertaining to stand-alone outdoor storage lots, including truck storage not associated with existing businesses are incorporated.

Housing Element Compliance
Code updates and new use provisions increase housing opportunities, diversity of housing types, and streamlined review procedures in line with Housing Element (HE) implementation program A.2, as summarized below:

HE Implementation Measure: Consider minimum development densities or other criteria on identified housing sites to ensure unit estimates are met. - CZC Compliance - While it is not feasible to apply minimum residential densities on individual sites within broader zoning districts, the density ranges proposed in the CZC maintain assumptions used in the Housing Element sites inventory for maximum and realistic density assumptions. It is therefore anticipated that as inventory sites build out, they will meet Housing Element assumptions. In the Downtown zones, where density is "unlimited," the code does propose that a minimum density of 15 du/ac apply across all zones. Two inventory sites in Corridor Mixed Use zones, have recently received entitlements for multi-unit projects reaching or nearly reaching maximum density allowance, exceeding Housing Element realistic capacity assumptions for those sites (thereby providing more units than anticipated by the Housing Element). Updated residential development standards, including Small Lot Subdivision standards and parking reductions, provide added flexibility which will incentivize residential development and may result in additional housing units. Further, multi-unit development is permitted by-right in all Downtown and Mixed-Use zones in which a majority of housing inventory sites are located.

HE Implementation Measure: Provide expanded residential development opportunities, including allowing residential uses in the Community Commercial Zone and increasing the allowed density in some low-density areas to low-medium and medium density, (as originally allowed in the prior zoning code and 2035 General Plan).
- CZC Compliance - In the CZC, the existing Community Commercial zone transitions to a mixeduse zone (CCMU) to allow multi-famly residential development. The CZC proposes increased residential densities in existing Residential-Duplex (R-2) zones where a mix of housing types and densities already exists. (This reinstates a former low-medium density transition zone.) HE Implementation Measure: Update the Zoning Code standards and review procedures to facilitate infill development, provide objective standards, and streamline new housing development.

Consider amendments to allow duplex/triplex/and other unit types in moderate and high resource areas to affirmatively further fair housing. (If amendments are not feasible, develop alternative strategies to increase access to housing in high opportunity areas.) - CZC Compliance - The CZC incorporates objective design and development criteria in all zones to provide clarity and certainty around design expectations and review process. As noted above, multiunit development is permitted by-right in all Downtown and Mixed-Use zones as well in Residential Medium and High Density zones. Multi-unit projects are permitted with a Zoning Administrator (staff level) permit in the Residential - Low Medium zone. The city has two "high resource" areas located in the southwest area of town in areas zoned Residential-Low. While tri- and four-plex ("multi-unit") projects are not permitted in the R-L zone, the CZC does recommend that duplexes be permitted byright. The CZC allows for Accessory Dwelling Units, up to three per property, generally, which could result in three or four residential units on one property similar to a four-plex. The CZC incorporates new Small Lot Subdivision standards, which would allow a half-acre property to subdivide into four lots, creating either ownership (or rental) opportunities, reducing displacement risk, and resulting in a

Page 55 ends

similar effect as allowing a four-plex.

HE Implementation Measure: Amend the Code consistent with Health and Safety Code Section 17021.5 and 17021.6 to further facilitate housing for farmworkers. - CZC Compliance - Health and Safety Code Sections 17021.5 and .6 pertain to the Employee Housing Act which requires that jurisdictions permit employee housing for six or fewer employees as a single-family use. While the City would generally not treat single family housing for occupancy by six or fewer presumably unrelated individuals differently from a single family home, the City will continue to explore appropriate updates to Title 15, Building and Construction, of the Woodland Municipal Code to ensure occupancy types for employee housing are appropriately acknowledged.

HE Implementation Measure: Incorporate sustainability, water conservation, and climate adaptability standards.
- CZC Compliance - CZC Section 17.56.010, General Design Standards, incorporates guidelines and recommendations pertaining to: shade, cooling, and energy conservation; sustainable materials and construction practices; electrification; and, water conservation/quality, for all development types.

HE Implementation Measure:Incorporate Universal Design requirements. - CZC Compliance - CZC Section 17.56.010, General Design Standards, includes requirements pertaining to universal design for residential projects with at least 10 dwelling units.

HE Implementation Measure: Prepare a new code that is user friendly and easy for all users to understand and navigate, without staff assistance.
- CZC Compliance - The CZC incorporates several measures to improve user experience as described above and throughout this report, including improved organization, the use of graphics and tables to visually represent standards, and a complete definitions section. Following adoption of the code, staff will prepare and/or update handouts and summary fact sheets for commonly researched topic areas such as ADU's, fencing, patio covers and accessory structures, and signs.

Proposed General Plan and Land Use Map Amendments in support of the Zoning Code updates
In addition to text amendments, there are suggested amendments to the Zoning Map. Some of the map changes identified require amendments to the General Plan Land Use Map. A summary of map amendments follows, and a more detailed accounting of map amendments is provided in Attachment 8 (see also interactive GIS map on the project website):
• 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)
• Replace some areas of low density residential with Residential-Low Medium (R-LM) and Residential Medium (RM) densities where the area would support such change, such as on major corridors or where existing development exceeds lower density. (GP and Zone change) • Replace certain 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) to 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 I-5 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) • Transition area E-2 of the DSP to CMU-East Street to better reflect its context and existing uses. (GP and Zone change)
• Modify the Regional Commercial (RC) zone at the north end of East Street to Regional Commercial Flex (RCF) to allow a greater range of uses appropriate to the location. (Zone change)

CZC Modifications since Public Review Draft Release
Following the series of public meetings in 2023, staff began preparing the Final Hearing Draft CZC, incorporating a majority of recommendations shared by members of the City Council, Planning Commission and the public. Staff made additional technical and clarifying modifications to the code to further refine the document in preparation for public use. The Final Hearing Draft CZC, released in April 2024, does include a track change version available online, https://www.cityofwoodland.gov/1168/Documents, showing modifications made between the Public Hearing Draft and the Final Hearing Draft. More substantial modifications to the code since the initial Public Review Draft release include:
• Incorporation of zone categories for land uses that are in the General Plan, but not on currently incorporated lands within the city boundaries, including specifically the Corridor Mixed Use - Gateway (CMU-G) and Business Park (BP) zones. In order to provide development expectations in advance of future annexation, staff incorporated pre-annexation

Page 61 ends

CMU-G and BP zones into the CZC. The pre-zones are somewhat generalized in nature and provide baseline development standards, possible allowed uses, and objective design standards to assist city review and facilitate potential development interests in understanding how lands that are outside the city are expected to develop. At the time of future annexation review, final detailed zone requirements and any potential amendments can be considered for these two zones. Defined uses and development intensity for the CMU-G and BP zones are consistent with the policy direction provided by the General Plan. However, a General Plan amendment is proposed to allow a wider range of residential densities in the CMU-G zones, modifying the density range from 20-40 du/ac to 15-45du/ac. This range of densities allows for town- and row-house development as well as higher density apartments and residential loft development. The BP zoning similarly allows for residential development at densities of 25-45 du/ac. (CZC Sections 17.32 and 17.40)
• Modification of Recreational Vehicle (RV) storage to continue to allow for RV storage in the front setback of residential properties, but with additional restrictions to better mitigate potential nuisance and other violations often associated with RV storage on residential properties. (CZC Section 17.64.100).
• Lower level Zoning Administrator Permit (ZAP) for Small Lot Subdivisions in R-L and NP zones and removal of minimum lot size and lot width standards associated with small lot development. (CZC Section 17.24.020, Table 17.24.020-1, and Table 17.24.030-1) • Allowance of front porch projections into required front setback by up to six feet. (CZC Section

17.24.020, Table 17.24.030-1)
• Added required minimum residential density of 15du/ac in Downtown Zones DX-1, -2 and -4. (CZC Section 17.28.030)
• Additional guidance pertaining to energy efficiency and water conservation measures, and the use of sustainable materials and construction practices. (CZC Section 17.56.010) • Additional measures pertaining to Universal Design. (CZC Section 17.56.010) • Clarification pertaining to heights and setbacks of residential and commercial fencing, and regulations pertaining to enhanced security fencing including electrified security fencing in Industrial and Industrial Flex zones. (CZC Section 17.64.030) • Removal of multi-family requirement for covered parking. (CZC Table 17.68.030.C-1) • Increased flexibility for parking reductions associated with all uses. (CZC Section 17.68.050) Additionally, final clarifying, non-substantive edits have been made to the Nonconforming Provisions section of the code (Section 17.80) based on final review by the City Attorney. Those edits have been redlined and are provided in Attachment 13.

Environmental Review
In May 2017, the City Council adopted the City of Woodland 2035 General Plan and certified the related Environmental Impact Report (Final EIR), State Clearinghouse Number 2013032015. Under CEQA Guidelines section 15162, a subsequent EIR need not be prepared unless the lead agency determines one or more of the following:

1. Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;

2. Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of any new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or

3. New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the EIR was certified, shows any of the

Page 62 ends

following:
a. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR; b. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR;
c. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or d. Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.

The Zoning Code Update, in and of itself, does not propose specific development projects, but rather codifies zoning rules, processes, and procedures that guide future growth in Woodland. The proposed General Plan text and land use map amendments do not include any new goals, policies, or implementation actions, or otherwise authorize new uses or development of land. Each future development project would be subject to separate review to determine potential impacts on the environment related to each project as potential impacts are location-specific and cannot be assessed in a meaningful way until a project site and development proposal are identified. When a specific development proposal is considered for approval, that project would be subject to adopted development guidelines and standards outlined in the Zoning Code and be required to incorporate applicable mitigation measures, alternatives and/or uniformly applied policies developed in the 2035 General Plan EIR certified in 2017 (in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15168[c]). If a subsequent activity (in this case a specific development proposal that requires discretionary approval) would have effects not identified in the program EIR (the 2035 General Plan EIR and this Addendum), the lead agency must prepare additional CEQA documentation.

The Addendum Evaluation prepared for the Comprehensive Zoning Code update and related General Plan Amendments (Attachment 9), includes the analysis of the changes and potential impacts related to the adoption of the Zoning Code Update. The Addendum evaluation demonstrates the project’s consistency with the existing Woodland 2035 General Plan and Final EIR to satisfy the requirements of CEQA. No substantial changes are proposed in the Comprehensive Zoning Code update and related General Plan Amendments, and there are no substantial changes in the circumstances under which the project will be undertaken that will require major revisions to the previous EIR due to the involvement of significant new environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. Also, there is no "new information of substantial importance" as that term is used in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3). Therefore, the previously certified 2035 General Plan EIR is adequate and the Addendum Evaluation serves as an addendum to the 2035 General Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (General Plan FEIR).

Planning Commission Recommendation
At its May 16, 2024 meeting, the Woodland Planning Commission voted 6-1 to adopt a Resolution (Attachment 12), recommending the City Council adopt the Comprehensive Zoning Code, associated Zoning Map, related General Plan and Land Use map amendments, and to repeal the Interim Zoning Code and Downtown Specific Plan.

Incorporated in the motion, the Planning Commission voted to recommend that legal non-conforming uses located in the Corridor Mixed Use - Armfield (CMU-A) zone be permitted to expand on one parcel. It was noted that viable, long term businesses should have the ability to grow without undue hardship. Staff does recognize and appreciate this viewpoint, and have taken steps in the CZC to permit some expansion of legal non-confirming uses within certain parameters as described below (the existing code outright prohibits all expansion). However, staff have concerns that this specific modification to the code may result in unequal treatment of legal nonconforming uses in the city and

Page 63 ends

recommends that the City Council adopt the non-conforming code language as presented in the Final Hearing Draft without modification.

The Final Hearing Draft allows legal non-conforming uses to continue to operate and possibly expand per CZC Section 17.80.040, which states: A nonconforming use may not be extended to other parts of a building or site where the use has not traditionally operated unless a finding can be made that the extension will not increase or create negative impacts on surrounding properties including but not limited to increased traffic, noise, vibration, dust or odor. CZC Section 17.80.060 speaks further to alterations and enlargements to nonconforming structures allowing for extensions or enlargements subject to a tiered level of required site improvements, such as screening of outdoor storage areas, installation of landscaping or replacement of dead landscaping, repair of structures in disrepair if visible from the public right of way, up to full compliance with site improvement standards (for 50 percent or greater increase on building gross floor area). Because these provisions already provide a path to possible expansion of legal nonconforming uses and/or structures while ensuring impacts to adjacent properties are minimized, staff believes the current draft code language is sufficient to address concerns raised by Planning Commission members.

Three additional recommendations were presented as modifications to the draft CZC, but did not garner sufficient support from the commission to move forward. Those recommendations included 1) the elimination of parking requirements and only providing parking recommendations in all zones; 2) allowance for 95 percent lot coverage in Residential Low Density zones and 5 foot setbacks on residential and mixed use developments citywide; and 3) allowance for triplexes and townhomes in Residential Low Density zones.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council hold a Public Hearing and take the following actions associated with the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update:

1. Adopt a Resolution (Attachment 1) amending the 2035 General Plan and Land Use Map as a result of proposed Zoning Code updates;

3. Adopt a Resolution (Attachment 3) repealing the Downtown Specific Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Woodland hereby approves the General Plan and Land Use Map amendments, as described and illustrated in Exhibits A and B, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference based upon the following findings:

A. CEQA

1. The City Council finds that no substantial changes are proposed in the Comprehensive Zoning Code update, Zoning Map and related 2035 General Plan text (Exhibit A) and Land Use Map (Exhibit B) amendments resulting in new or unanticipated levels of development that were not previously identified in the 2035 General Plan Final EIR, and there are no substantial changes in the circumstances under which the project will be undertaken that will require major revisions to the previous EIR due to the involvement of significant new environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. Also, there is no "new information of substantial importance" as that term is used in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3). Therefore, the previously certified 2035 General Plan EIR is adequate and the Addendum Evaluation (Exhibit C) serves as an addendum to the 2035 General Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (General Plan FEIR).

B. 2035 GENERAL PLAN AND LAND USE MAP AMENDMENTS

1. The City Council finds that the amendments to the 2035 General Plan, which include amendments to the Land Use Map, to the proposed residential density range of the Corridor

Page 67 ends

Mixed Use – Gateway land use designation, and to the Community Commercial land use designation to allow residential development, comprise a long-range, internally consistent statement of the City’s goals, policies, and actions relating to land use, quality of life, public health and safety.

2. The City Council finds that the amendments to the General Plan Land Use Map will promote the public health, safety, and welfare of the City’s residents by updating the Land Use Map to reinforce the City’s intent for certain land use designations, and guide development within the City to achieve the goals and policies of the 2035 General Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Woodland does hereby ordain as follows:

Section 1: Recitals
The City Council hereby finds and determines that the foregoing recitals, which are incorporated herein by reference, are true and correct.

Section 2: Findings for Zoning Ordinance Amendment
Pursuant to Woodland Municipal Code 17.04.030, the City Council finds that the comprehensive update to the Zoning Ordinance promotes the health, safety, comfort, and general welfare, provides a plan for sound and orderly development, and ensures social and economic stability within the various zones.

The comprehensive update to the Zoning Ordinance is consistent with the 2035 General Plan and Climate Action Plan, and conforms to the requirements of State planning and zoning laws. This comprehensive update to the Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map implements all applicable goals and policies of the City’s 2035 General Plan that relate to development on real property throughout the City.

Page 75 ends

The Zoning Ordinance update is consistent with good zoning and planning practices and will allow the City to implement the community goals, objectives, and policies of the 2035 General Plan and Climate Action Plan through regulation of land uses and development on real property throughout the City.

Section 3: Environmental Review
The City Council finds that no substantial changes are proposed in the Comprehensive Zoning Code update (Exhibit A), Zoning Map (Exhibit B) and related 2035 General Plan text and Land Use Map amendments resulting in new or unanticipated levels of development that were not previously identified in the 2035 General Plan Final EIR, and there are no substantial changes in the circumstances under which the project will be undertaken that will require major revisions to the previous EIR due to the involvement of significant new environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. Also, there is no "new information of substantial importance" as that term is used in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3). Therefore, the previously certified 2035 General Plan EIR is adequate and the Addendum Evaluation (Exhibit C) serves as an addendum to the 2035 General Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (General Plan FEIR).

Section 4: Repeals
Title 17 of the Woodland Municipal Code (entitled “Zoning”) is hereby repealed in its entirety.

The Woodland Zoning Map is hereby repealed in its entirety.

The Interim Zoning Ordinance 2020 is hereby repealed in its entirety.

Section 5: Adoption of the New Zoning Ordinance
The new Zoning Ordinance, identified as Exhibit A attached and incorporated hereto, is hereby adopted in its entirety as Title 17 of the Woodland Municipal Code.

Section 6: Adoption of the New Zoning Map
The new Zoning Map is hereby adopted, identified as Exhibit B attached and incorporated hereto.

Section 7: Effect of Repeals or Amendments
Any such repealed or superseded part of the Woodland Municipal Code as provided in this Ordinance will remain in full force and effect for sustaining action or prosecuting violations occurring before the effective date of this Ordinance.

Section 8: Severability
If any section, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance is, for any reason, held invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct, and independent provision, and such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions thereof.

Page 76 ends

or without the City, so as to provide a basis of civil liability for damages, except as otherwise imposed by law.

Section 10: Effective Date
This Ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after its passage by the City Council and following the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the City Council. Within 15 days of its adoption, a summary of the ordinance shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of Woodland, State of California, which summary shall include the names of those Council Members voting for and against the ordinance.

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

17.04.020 Authority
The Woodland Zoning Code is adopted in compliance with the authority contained in California Government Code § 65850.

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.

Promote compact development patterns, mixed land use, and higher-development intensities that conserve land resources, reduce vehicle trips, improve air quality, and facilitate walking, bicycling, and transit use.

Page 99 ends

Division I: General Provisions
Hearing Draft | Woodland Comprehensive Zoning Code | I-3 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 issued in compliance with this Code must be consistent with the 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 allowed by law, to all property within the corporate limits of the City 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 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.

Requirements. The provisions of this Code shall establish 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 in compliance 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 in compliance with this Code shall not supersede any other regulations or requirements adopted or imposed by the City Council, the State of California, or any federal agency that has jurisdiction by law over uses and projects authorized by this Code. All uses and projects 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

Page 100 ends

Division I: General Provisions
I-4 | Woodland Comprehensive Zoning Code | Hearing Draft restriction than imposed by an easement, covenant, or agreement, this Code shall control.

The City 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 (see Building Permit, 17.100.130) has been issued may be completed and used in accordance with the plans, specifications, and permits on which the 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. 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 entitlement(s) are diligently pursued.

Application During Local Emergency. The City Council may authorize a deviation from a provision of this Code during a local emergency declared and ratified in accordance with 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

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, they 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 purposes 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

Page 103 ends

Division I: General Provisions
Hearing Draft | Woodland Comprehensive Zoning Code | I-7 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 (e.g., the California Government Code, Subdivision Map Act, or Public Resources Code), the 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 zone boundary shall be determined by the Community Development Director (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 Director shall determine the interpretation of the provision (see Table 17.100.020-1: Planning Processes/Permits and Review Authority).

The determination of the Director 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 Code requires consideration of distances, parking spaces, dwelling units, or other aspects of development or the physical environment expressed in 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 in accordance with California Government Code § 65915 or any successor statute and Woodland Municipal Code Chapter 15.16, Affordable Housing, any fractional number of allowed 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.C-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

Page 105 ends

Division I: General Provisions
Hearing Draft | Woodland Comprehensive Zoning Code | I-9 driveways and travel lanes are measured along the center arc of the driveway or traffic lane.

5. Measuring Distance Between Two Properties. 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.

FIGURE 17.08.030.C-2: MEASURING DISTANCES BETWEEN PROPERTIES 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.D-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 the fence or wall. b. Any fence or railing required by the California Building Code to exceed the maximum height is allowed.

Page 106 ends

Division I: General Provisions
I-10 | Woodland Comprehensive Zoning Code | Hearing Draft FIGURE 17.08.030.D-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.
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.D-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.

Division I: General Provisions
Hearing Draft | Woodland Comprehensive Zoning Code | I-11 FIGURE 17.08.030.D-4: MEASURING THE HEIGHT OF DECKS
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 of Terms.

FIGURE 17.08.030.E-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:

Page 108 ends

Division I: General Provisions
I-12 | Woodland Comprehensive Zoning Code | Hearing Draft 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 enclosed stairways, stairwells or elevator shafts, the horizontal area of these 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.

I-14 | Woodland Comprehensive Zoning Code | Hearing Draft FIGURE 17.08.030.I-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 applicant may choose which street he or she shall designate as the front of the lot, subject to approval by the Director and the Fire Department. It is recommended that any driveway be located on the less traveled street in most cases. 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 Director and the Fire Department.

2. Through Lot. In the case of a through lot, the lot frontage is the line that abuts the street of primary access (e.g., driveway access) to the lot.

Hearing Draft | Woodland Comprehensive Zoning Code | I-15 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 in compliance with Section 17.64.060, Projections into Required Setbacks, subject to compliance with the California Building Code, or as otherwise allowed in this Code.

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.

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 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 (N-P). The purpose of the N-P 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 with a compatible mixture of low and medium density housing; 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-LowMedium 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

Page 119 ends

Division II: Zone Regulations
Hearing Draft | Woodland Comprehensive Zoning Code | II-3 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.

17.24.020 Use Regulations
Table 17.24.020-1, Use Regulations – Residential Zones, lists the uses permitted, permitted with a stafflevel Zoning Administrator Permit (see Section 17.100.140, Zoning Administrator Permit), and permitted with a Conditional Use Permit (see Section 17.100.100, Conditional Use Permit) granted at a public hearing. The right-hand column provides references to other Sections of this Code where additional regulations are located. Refer to Division V, Chapter 17.144 for Definitions of Uses.

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.

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 Corridor Mixed-UseWest Main 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 CMUWM 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-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.

D. 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.

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

Page 133 ends

Division II: Zone Regulations
Hearing Draft | Woodland Comprehensive Zoning Code | II-17 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 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.

H. Corridor Mixed-Use-Gateway (CMU-G). The Corridor Mixed-Use-Gateway zone, located along an important north-south corridor, is envisioned by the General Plan to support a mix of uses including retail, medical services, offices, business park development and housing.

The zone allows for vertical and horizontal mixed-use development. The CMU-G zone implements the Corridor Mixed-use General Plan land use designation.

17.32.020 Use Regulations
Table 17.32.020-1, Use Regulations – Mixed-Use Zones lists the uses permitted, permitted with a stafflevel Zoning Administrator Permit, and permitted with a Conditional Use Permit (see Section

17.100.100, Conditional Use Permit) granted at a public hearing. The right-hand column provides references to other Sections of this Code where additional regulations are located. Refer to Division V, Chapter 17.144 for Definition of Uses.
