Agenda Item 4
CITY OF YUBA CITY
STAFF REPORT
Date: March 5, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council;
From: Administration Department
Presentation By: Diana Langley, City Manager
Summary
Subject: Adoption of updated District Boundaries to include property annexed into the City Recommendation: Adopt an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Yuba City amending Section 2-9.05 of the Yuba City Municipal Code and adopting revised district boundaries; by title only and waive the second reading
Fiscal Impact: None
Purpose:
The City Council has held five public hearings to receive public input on district boundaries to account for property annexed to the City and selected a preferred updated district boundary map. To complete this process, and to allow for members of the public residing in the annexed territory to participate in local elections, an ordinance is being adopted to update District boundaries.
Council's Strategic Goal:
Including recently annexed areas into the City Council District Boundaries addresses the City Council's overarching goal of quality of life.
Background:
Every 10 years, Election Code section 2160 requires cities with by-district election systems to redraw their district boundary maps to ensure compliance with the California and federal Voting Rights Acts.
This process, called redistricting, ensures that all districts have a nearly equal population. The City adopted its current district boundaries in 2022 based on 2020 consensus data as required by law.
Since the adoption of the current boundary maps, there have been significant annexations in the southern portion of the City, adjacent to Council Districts 4 and 5. The annexed areas are currently predominantly agricultural land with several homes. While the areas are in the City, they are not within a Council district, thus the Council District Boundary Map must be modified to incorporate the annexed areas.
Analysis:
State laws set strict criteria for the update of the district boundaries in such circumstances. Specifically,
the City Council is required to add the new territory "to the nearest existing Council district” without changing the boundaries of other Council district boundaries. As a result, the City’s discretion is limited regarding the present annexation.
Over the period of several months, the City held five public hearings to receive public comment as required by the Elections Code. The next step is to amend the City’s Municipal Code to formally add the annexed territory. This is done by first introducing the ordinance, which was done on February 20th, and then approving the ordinance at a subsequent regular meeting of the Council. As Districts 4 and 5 are the “nearest existing Council districts” to the annexed property, the ordinance proposes to add the annexed territories to Districts 4 and 5 consistent with the mandatory requirements of State law.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact to modifying the boundaries other than staff time to prepare the necessary staff reports and modify the district boundary maps.
Alternatives:
Decline to adopt the Ordinance at this time or continue the matter to a future meeting.
Recommendation:
Adopt an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Yuba City amending Section 2-9.05 of the Yuba City Municipal Code and adopting revised district boundaries; by title only and waive the second reading

Authorizes the Finance Director to place sale proceeds in the Water Fund Fiscal Impact: Sale Price - $18,000 plus savings associated with no longer maintaining the property
Purpose:
To sell 1488 Royo Ranchero Drive which has been deemed a surplus property by the City Council.
Council's Strategic Goal:
This item supports the Council's goal of fiscal responsibility as the disposition of the property will generate funds to place in the Water Fund and reduce maintenance costs.
Background:
1488 Royo Ranchero Drive, located at the northwest corner of Royo Ranchero Road and Jefferson Avenue, is a former groundwater well site that was abandoned when the Tierra Buena area transitioned to surface water 20+ years ago. On September 1, 2020, City Council formally declared the property to be surplus and staff initiated the Surplus Land Act (SLA) process. Through the SLA process, no housing sponsors or developers submitted a letter of interest to purchase the property and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) cleared the property for sale.
Analysis:
1488 Royo Ranchero Drive is not currently developable as city sewer is currently available
approximately 500' to the south on Royo Ranchero Drive. The adjacent property owner, Stewart Gibbs, contacted staff and submitted a letter of interest to purchase the property. An appraisal was prepared by Owen & Associates, and the appraised value is $18,000. Mr. Gibbs agreed to purchase the property at the appraised value. The attached Agreement for Purchase and Sale details the terms of the transaction.
Fiscal Impact:
The sale price is $18,000 with net proceeds being slightly less due to title and escrow fees. Staff recommends that the proceeds be placed in the Water Fund as the site was originally purchased with Water Funds. In addition, the City will no longer be required to maintain the site.
Alternatives:
Do not sell the property and provide direction to staff.
Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution that:
A. Authorizes the City Manager to execute and Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Real Property located at 1488 Royo Ranchero Drive (APN 062-210-002), and all other necessary documents, in the amount of $18,000 to Stewart Gibbs, subject to approval of the City Attorney as to legal terms.
B. Authorizes the Finance Director to place sale proceeds in the Water Fund.

CITY OF YUBA CITY
STAFF REPORT
Date: March 5, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council;
From: Public Works
Presentation By: Ben Moody, Public Works & Development Services Director Summary
Subject: FEMA Letter of Concurrence
Recommendation: Adopt a Resolution authorizing the Public Works Director to submit a Letter of Concurrence to the Federal Emergency Management Agency supporting a Letter of Map Revision request
Fiscal Impact: None
Purpose:
To assure that Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps accurately reflect Sutter Butte Flood Control Agency (SBFCA) levee improvements.
Council’s Strategic Goal:
This project addresses two City Council Strategic Goals, as the proposed Flood Zone re-mapping improves financial stability throughout the community and enhances opportunities for businesses to successfully operate, while taking advantage of substantial SBFCA infrastructure improvements.
Background:
SBFCA staff have been coordinating with Sutter County and Yuba City staff on an upcoming submittal of the 100-year FEMA accreditation package for SBFCA’s southern Feather River West Levee Project.
SBFCA and Sutter County held a preapplication meeting with FEMA on February 6. SFBCA anticipates sending the submittal to FEMA following closeout of the Federal levee project. Following submittal, it is anticipated that the review and processing period with FEMA will take approximately 3 to 5 years before the proposed mapping changes become effective.
Analysis:
SBFCA is requesting the City provide a Letter of Concurrence (Attachment 1, Exhibit A), to be included with the accreditation package, affirming that the City approves of SBFCA requesting revisions to the City’s Flood Insurance Rate Maps. The anticipated changes to the maps are generally beneficial to the City overall when considering the protections afforded by the SBFCA levee project. A relatively small area at the northeast corner of Bogue Road and Township Road, which is currently outside the City Limits but within the City Sphere of Influence, would be included in Zone AE. Areas adjacent to the Gilsizer Slough south of Smith Road, which would impact development with the Bogue Stewart Master
Plan area, would also be in Zone AE. This flood zone has actual base flood elevations associated with it, so future development will be informed as to the mitigation required to comply with the City’s Flood Zone Protection Ordinance. The remaining areas within the City’s sphere of influence will be shown as outside the 100-year flood plain. These properties will not be required to have flood insurance, and if they chose to carry National Flood Insurance Program insurance, they will be charged a lower premium.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact. Fees associated with the map revision process will be paid by Sutter County.
Alternatives:
Do not authorize a Letter of Concurrence to be submitted at this time and instead request additional information from SBFCA, either through City staff or through a formal Council study session.
Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the Public Works Director to submit a Letter of Concurrence to the Federal Emergency Management Agency supporting a Letter of Map Revision request.

Subject: Sutter County LOMR Request
Dear Mr. Patel,
This communication is to inform your office of a forthcoming Letter of Mapping Revision (LOMR) request to be submitted by the County of Sutter for the City of Yuba City, California. Furthermore, the City acknowledges that it is aware of the upcoming submittal, has reviewed the revision request, understands the effects of the revision on flooding conditions in the community, and has determined that any land and any existing or proposed structures to be removed from the Special Flood Hazard Area are reasonably safe from flooding.
The City understands how Sutter Butte Flood Control Agency (SBFCA), in coordination with Sutter County, will prepare a Letter of Map Revision request for the accreditation of the Southern Feather River West Levee (FRWL) within Sutter County. The request includes documentation for approximately 29.9 miles of the FRWL and includes proposed FIRM changes to the west side of the Feather River (see attached overview figure).
The City of Yuba City is a voting member of the 13-person Board of Directors of SBFCA. Through this role, the City has been actively involved in the Feather River West Levee Project since its inception. If you have any questions or need any additional information regarding this matter, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Benjamin K. Moody
Public Works and Development Services Director

STAFF REPORT
Date: March 5, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council;
From: Finance/IT Department
Presentation By: Spencer Morrison, Finance Director
Summary
Subject: Presentation of Investment Report – Quarter Ended December 31, 2023 Recommendation: Note & File Quarterly Investment Report Fiscal Impact: Informational item only
Purpose:
To provide information regarding the investment of City funds.
Council's Strategic Goal:
This staff report addresses the City Council’s Strategic Goal of fiscal responsibility.
Background:
In accordance with the City’s adopted Investment Policies, staff prepared the attached investment report for City Council review for the previous quarter (October, November, December 2023).
Analysis:
Portfolio Highlights:
• As of December 31, 2023, the City's overall investment portfolio (estimated market value) totaled $145,100,309, a decrease of $3,553,442 from the previous quarter. • Notable transactions during the quarter that affected cash flow included:
o Gas tax, SB1 and other streets & roads receipts, $1.5 million; o Sales tax receipts, $4.5 million;
o SBFCA expenses, $1.5 million, and revenues, $750 thousand o Debt service payments, utility bonds, $1.6 million.
• The portfolio shows a “paper loss” of $921,034 as of December 31st. This represents the amount of value that the City would lose if it were to liquidate its entire portfolio at the end of the reporting period. However, such losses will not be realized if the investments are held until
maturity (which is the City’s general investment strategy). • The City’s portfolio is still replacing lower yield instruments with higher yields for each maturing bond in this fixed income market, and the overall portfolio yield increased compared to past quarters. The portfolio remains positioned for a higher yield environment by keeping the maturity dates of our purchases in a longer position, currently 1.20 weighted average years to maturity, while remaining watchful for signs of an economic shift. For the quarter ended 12/31/23, 47 investments matured or sold, partially or in whole, with an average yield of 0.83%.
Excluding asset-backed securities and seven investments matured or sold with an average yield of 1.72%. These funds, along with LAIF holdings, were invested in eight instruments with an average yield of 4.75%. The Weighted Average Yield to Maturity of the City’s total investment portfolio increased from 3.31% to 3.62% for the quarter. • The City’s cash flow needs will be met by roughly $60.4 million in liquid assets as of December 31st (approximately 42.5% of the City Held Investments portfolio value) that is currently invested in LAIF, CAMP, First American money management funds, and in the City’s Wells Fargo checking account.
Outlook: Anticipating a slowdown, the City’s portfolio is positioned for longer maturities to hang onto the higher interest revenue for as long as we can. Future Federal Reserve rate cuts up to 75 basis points are possible in the next 12 months as price stability is their priority. With yield curve inversion, we might expect more recession discussions to occur in the next six months.
Summary Overview: The City’s investment portfolio continues to remain safe and stable. Each investment complies with state law and the City’s formal Investment Policies. Our three primary objectives for the City’s portfolio are safety, liquidity, and then yield. Staff continues to conservatively look for opportunities in today’s marketplace while remaining focused on our primary objectives.
Fiscal Impact:

CITY OF YUBA CITY
STAFF REPORT
Date: March 5, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council;
From: Public Works
Presentation By: Ben Moody, Public Works & Development Services Director Summary
Subject: Merriment Village - Cooperative Agreement for Grant Application Recommendation: Adopt a Resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into a Cooperative Agreement with Habitat for Humanity Yuba/Sutter, Inc. for the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program, subject to review and approval by the City Attorney
Fiscal Impact: Staff time associated with grant application support with the potential to receive grant funding for City infrastructure improvements.
Purpose:
To assist Habitat for Humanity Yuba/Sutter with meeting the requirements of the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) Program grant application while potentially receiving grant funding for City infrastructure.
Council’s Strategic Goal:
This project addresses two City Council Strategic Goals, as the proposed grant application support contributes to a business-friendly environment, while funding from a potential grant award would lead to improved City infrastructure.
Background:
On September 19, 2023, Council approved Development Plan 23-02, Merriment Village Apartments, subject to conditions of approval, for the development of a 218-unit income-based (affordable) apartment complex located on a 7.7-acre parcel at 428 North Walton Avenue.
On February 20, 2024, Council authorized a joint application with Habitat for Humanity Yuba/Sutter, Inc. to apply for Homekey 3.0 funds through the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for Phase 1 of the project, consisting of 79 units.
Habitat for Humanity has notified City staff that HCD has issued a Notice of Funding Availability dated January 19, 2024, through the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) Program.
Habitat for Humanity is applying for a grant from the AHSC Program for development of Phase 2.
The AHSC Program Guidelines require applicants to provide evidence of at least two prior projects that
are similar to the proposed AHSC project in scope and size, which have been completed by the applicant during the ten years preceding the application due date. This section of the Guidelines also states that the applicants may demonstrate the requisite experience by using the past experience of work completed by a Locality or Transportation Agency non-applicant (e.g., the City) so long as the applicant can provide an executed agreement with that specific non-applicant for the completion of the related work in the Application for which funding is sought.
In 2021, the City entered into a similar Cooperation Agreement with the Regional Housing Authority and Sutter Community Affordable Housing on an AHSC grant application for Richland Village.
Analysis:
Habitat for Humanity Yuba/Sutter is requesting the City cooperate on the submittal of the AHSC grant application by committing to constructing the following infrastructure improvements within 5 years:
• Sidewalks on the west side of Walton Avenue between Franklin Avenue and Stoker Avenue. • Class 2 bike lanes on the west side of Harding Road between Franklin Road and Cherry Street. • Class 2 bike lanes on the north side of Cherry Street between Harding Road and Sanborn Road.
• Class 2 bike lanes on the west side of Sanborn Road between Cherry Street and Lincoln Road.
The City would not be a direct applicant for the AHSC funds. However, the AHSC program requires the City and the applicant to enter into a Cooperative Agreement in order for the City to utilize any funds awarded. A draft agreement (Attachment 1, Exhibit A) has been prepared, but must be reviewed and approved by the City Attorney prior to signing. If no grant funding is obtained, the agreement would automatically terminate.
Fiscal Impact:
There will be minimal staff time associated with supporting the grant application. If the grant application is successful, the City will receive approximately $2,056,000 toward the completion of sidewalks and bike lanes.
Alternatives:
Do not authorize the Mayor to execute a Cooperative Agreement with Habitat for Humanity.
Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into a Cooperative Agreement with Habitat for Humanity Yuba/Sutter, Inc. for the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program, subject to review and approval by the City Attorney.

CITY OF YUBA CITY
STAFF REPORT
Date: March 5, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council;
From: Development Services Department
Presentation By: Doug Libby, Deputy Director of Development Services Summary
Subject: Consideration of a Development Agreement for the West Railroad Village Tentative Subdivision Map (TSM) 23-02
Recommendation: A. Conduct a Public Hearing; then
B. Introduce an Uncodified Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Yuba City approving Environmental Assessment 23-07 by Adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for Tentative Subdivision Map (TSM) 23-02, West Railroad Village Subdivision and approving a Development Agreement between the City of Yuba City and Junior S. Thiara, an individual, for the West Railroad Village Subdivision (TSM 23-02), on 4.8 acres located on the west side of Railroad Avenue approximately 200 feet south of the intersection of Railroad Avenue and Bogue Road (Assessor’s Parcel Number 55-240-002) by title only and waive the first reading
Fiscal Impact: The cost for processing land use entitlements is funded by the project applicant through the payment of application fees
Purpose:
Consideration to approve a Development Agreement for the West Railroad Subdivision (TSM) 23-02 and the associated Mitigated Negative Declaration.
Council’s Strategic Goal:
This item meets the City Council’s strategic goal of business friendly.
Background:
The applicant, Junior S. Thiara, filed an application for Tentative Subdivision Map SM 23-02, West Railroad Subdivision.
On January 24, 2024, the Yuba City Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing, and the Planning Commission voted to:
1. Adopt Resolution PC 24-01 contingently approving TSM 23-02; and
2. Adopt Resolution PC 24-02 recommending approval of Environmental Assessment 23-07 and
the associated Development Agreement.
Analysis:
Tentative Subdivision Map (TSM) 23-02, West Railroad Village, divides 4.8-acres into 27 total lots (21 duplex lots and 6 single-family residential lots, for a total of 48 new residences. The site, which is currently developed with an orchard, is located within the approved Bogue-Stewart Master Plan (BSMP) area. The subdivision will be served by an internal road system that will access Railroad Avenue and is designed to connect with property to the south when it urbanizes at some point in the future to provide additional connectivity.
Variations to the BSMP Residential Development Standards The BSMP detailed development standards for all types of uses ensure consistent quality and predictable framework for residential development. The Plan includes a provision for the Development Services Director to make minor modifications to the standards as long as the resulting neighborhood is in substantial conformance with the overall intent of the Ordinance. The applicant proposes to make several minor lot modifications to the BSMP residential development standards as follows:
These changes are considered minor, designed to fit the characteristics of this property, and should not generate any issues for the development of neighboring properties.
Availability of City services:
As this property is within the City limits, all City services will be extended to the property to serve future residents. Infrastructure is not currently in place for development to commence immediately. It is hoped that with the revisions made to the Newkom Ranch Development Agreement that were recently approved by the City Council, this will facilitate bringing needed infrastructure to allow development to commence. A full detail of the work necessary to allow development to commence can be found in the Planning Commission staff report included as an attachment to this report.
Development Agreement
The proposed Development Agreement that accompanies this subdivision is beneficial to both the developer and the City. The agreement provides the developer with an approved tentative subdivision map that has 10 years to allow infrastructure to be extended to allow development and the 10-year term may be extended upon mutual consent of both parties.
For the City, the Development Agreement’s public benefit is the developer will pay an additional neighborhood park development impact fee in the amount of $2,300 per multiple-family residence and $3,200 per single-family residence. This is in addition to the standard Park and Recreation development impact fee. This fee is subject to increase due to inflation, and will allow the City to provide more neighborhood parks throughout the City than would otherwise not be available.
Environmental Considerations:
An environmental assessment was prepared for this project in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. This process included the distribution of requests for comments from other responsible and affected agencies and interested organizations.
Environmental Assessment 23-07 was prepared for this project with reliance on the previously adopted environmental impact report prepared for the BSMP. The list of identified mitigation measures relevant to this project were taken from the BSMP EIR. Staff has determined there is no evidence in the record the project will generate any new significant effects on the environment not previously discussed and analyzed in the BSMP EIR and recommends adoption of a mitigated negative declaration for the proposed development agreement. The findings of the mitigated negative declaration are that, with the relevant mitigations adopted from the BSMP EIR for Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Greenhouse Gases, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Noise, Transportation/Traffic, Tribal Cultural Resources, and Utilities and Services, the proposed subdivision and development agreement will not create new significant impacts to the neighborhood or vicinity that were not previously addressed in the BSMP EIR. As a result, the filing of a mitigated negative declaration is appropriate in accordance with the provisions of CEQA.
A complete copy of Environmental Assessment 23-07 can be accessed on the City website at:
https://www.yubacity.net/cms/One.aspx?portalId=239258&pageId=18737559&action=viewf Yuba City Fiscal Impact:
The cost for processing land use entitlements is funded by the project applicant fees as adopted by the City Council.
Alternatives:
1. Deny the proposed Development Agreement associated with West Railroad Village Subdivision.
2. Provide staff with alternate direction.
Recommendations:
A. Conduct a Public Hearing; then
B. Introduce an Uncodified Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Yuba City approving Environmental Assessment 23-07 by Adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for Tentative Subdivision Map (TSM) 23-02, West Railroad Village Subdivision and approving a Development Agreement between the City of Yuba City and Junior Thiara for the West Railroad Village Subdivision (TSM 23-02), on 4.8 acres located on the west side of Railroad Avenue approximately 200 feet south of the intersection of Railroad Avenue and Bogue Road (Assessor’s Parcel Number 55-240-002) by title only and waive the first reading.

AN UNCODIFIED ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF YUBA CITY APPROVING A
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE WEST RAILROAD VILLAGE TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP (TSM 23-02) BETWEEN THE CITY OF YUBA CITY AND JUNIOR S. THIARA, AN INDIVIDUAL, TO DEVELOP 27 LOTS ON 4.8-ACRES LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF RAILROAD AVENUE APPROXIMATELY 200 FEET SOUTH OF BOGUE ROAD; ASSESSORS PARCEL NUMBER 055-240-002
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 65864 et seq. authorizes the City to enter into development agreements with any person having a legal or equitable interest in real property, which interest Developer has in the affected property; and WHEREAS, Sections 65864-65869.5 of the California Government Code authorize the City to enter into development agreements and requires the planning agency of the City to find the proposed development agreement to be consistent with the policies and programs of the General Plan and any applicable specific plan, which the Planning Commission has done; and WHEREAS, the City received an application from Junior S. Thiara for TSM 23-02 to divide approximately 4.8 acres into 21 duplex lots and six single-family residential lots which would be at a density of approximately 10 residences per acre, and an associated Development Agreement (collectively “Project”). All of the new residential lots will be provided full City services; and WHEREAS, this property was recently annexed into Yuba City’s city limits and the property owner wished to develop their property to urban levels; and WHEREAS, pursuant to the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (“CEQA”), with the City, as the Lead Agency, the Planning Commission reviewed related Environmental Assessment 23-07 which was prepared for TSM 23- 02 and this Development Agreement, resulting in a determination of a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) prepared for the Project, which concluded that this Project, with new mitigations as well as mitigations from the previously approved EIR for the Bogue-Stewart Master Plan (BSMP), will not generate any new significant environmental impacts not previously considered and analyzed in the BSMP EIR; and
WHEREAS, a review of the General Plan, BSMP, and Zoning Regulations determined that the proposed subdivision and development agreement are consistent with all General Plan Elements and meets all policies and programs established by the BSMP and the Zoning Regulations; and
WHEREAS, on January 24, 2024, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing and considered Environmental Assessment (EA) 23-07 considering a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) prepared for the project, which provides mitigations that reduce potentially significant impacts to a less than significant level on TSM 23-02 and the Development Agreement. All interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard and present evidence regarding the proposed project, including the development agreement; and WHEREAS, after deliberation and consideration of all relevant items, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC 24-01, approving TSM 23-02 contingent upon the City
3 Council adopting an uncodified ordinance approving the Development Agreement. Additionally, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC 24-02, recommending approval of a development agreement between Junior S. Thiara, an individual, and the City of Yuba City.
Additionally, the Planning Commission recommended the City Council authorize the Director, or designee, to execute and file with the Sutter County Clerk, as appropriate, a Notice of Determination for approval of the project that complies with the CEQA Guidelines.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Yuba City does ordain as follows:
1. Recitals: The City Council hereby finds that all of the facts set forth in the recitals above are true and correct and incorporated herein.
2. CEQA Finding. The City Council finds and determines, that there is no substantial evidence in the record that TSM 23-02 and the associated Development Agreement may have a significant effect on the environment beyond what was considered and analyzed in the BogueStewart Master Plan (BSMP) EIR as identified by the MND prepared in Environmental Assessment 23-07. The City Council finds and determines that an environmental assessment/initial study was prepared for this Project in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines and reflects the City Council’s independent judgment and analysis. The process included the distribution of requests for comments from other responsible or affected agencies and interested organizations.
Preparation of Environmental Assessment 23-07 necessitated a thorough review of the proposed Project and relevant environmental issues and considered the previously prepared BSMP EIR. While the proposed Project could have a potentially significant effect on the environment, based on its independent judgment and analysis the City Council finds that feasible mitigation measures or alternatives have been incorporated into the Project in order to avoid the effects to a point where clearly no significant effect on the environment will occur beyond those determined in the EIR prepared for the BSMP. The Project-specific mitigation measures included in the Project to avoid potentially significant effects are set forth in the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and accompanying Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. With the Project specific mitigations imposed, there is no substantial evidence in the record that this Project may have significant direct, indirect, or cumulative effects on the environment beyond those which were identified and analyzed in the BSMP EIR.
3. Adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. Based on the foregoing, the City Council adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the Project, including the associated Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, as the Project will not result in any significant, adverse environmental impacts with the mitigations proposed beyond those identified and analyzed in the BSMP EIR. The Yuba City Development Services Department is located at 1201 Civic Center Boulevard, Yuba City, CA 95993, and is designated as the custodian of the documents and other materials that constitute the record of the proceedings upon which the decision is based. The City Council authorizes the Director, or designee, to execute and file with the Sutter County Clerk, as appropriate, a Notice of Determination for approval of the Project that complies with the CEQA Guidelines.
4. Development Agreement Findings. Pursuant to the Government Section Code 65864 through 65869.5 and in light of the record before it, including the staff report and all attachments, and all evidence and testimony heard at the public hearing for this item, and in light of all evidence
4 and testimony provided in connection with the entitlements for the West Railroad Village Subdivision, the Planning Commission recommends the City Council make the following findings pertaining to the Development Agreement.
a. The proposed Development Agreement is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan, its purposes, and applicable Specific Plan(s).
Evidence: The proposed subdivision creating 21 duplex lots and six single-family residential lots is consistent with the land use pattern adopted as part of the BSMP. The Project’s overall density of approximately 10 residences per acre is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element and BSMP that provides for a density range of 6-14 dwellings per acre for the Medium-Density Residential (MDR) land use designation.
Consistent with the General Plan and BSMP policies, this development will pay development impact fees to contribute to the City’s Park system. The proposed Project is consistent with the intent of the BSMP, and has designed residential streets with sidewalks, planting strips and traffic calming elements to create a pedestrian-friendly environment.
b. The Development Agreement is consistent with and furthers a number of goals and objectives identified in the City’s General Plan.
Evidence: This Project is consistent with the City’s General Plan goals and policies including the established density ranges for MDR designated land. The Project is conditioned to meet all City development and improvement standards including water, wastewater, stormwater drainage systems, street cross-sections, streetscape landscaping, and park facilities or applicable in-lieu fees. The proposed Project will be subject to compliance with BSMP R-2 development standards.
Overall, the Project proposed by the Development Agreement represents a productive use of site that will be compatible with surrounding anticipated future neighboring uses and offers Yuba City residents new residential opportunities that will support retail, entertainment, and employment uses in the City.
c. Water Supply Assessment.
Evidence: A water supply assessment required by California Government Code Section 66473.7 (a) (1) was prepared as part of the BSMP EIR and determined that between the use of water withdrawn from the Feather River and city operated wells, there will be a need for additional City water well(s) for which a mitigation measure is applied that requires all BSMP development to pay a fair-share towards the well’s cost. With implementation of that mitigation measure there will be an adequate long term water supply.
5. Approval of Development Agreement. For the foregoing reasons and based on the information contained in the Planning Commission and City Council staff reports, supporting documentation, minutes and other records of proceedings, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference, the City Council hereby adopts this ordinance and approves the proposed Development Agreement which is attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and incorporated herein by this reference.
5 6. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this ordinance is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions thereof may be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
7. Publication. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and cause it to be published, in accordance with Government Code Section 36933, or as otherwise required by law.
8. Effective Date. This ordinance shall take effect and be in full force and effect from and after thirty (30) days after its final passage and adoption.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing Ordinance was introduced by the City Council after waiving reading, except by Title, at a regular meeting thereof held on the 5th day of March 2024, and adopted the Ordinance after the second reading at a regular meeting held on the day of _____, 2024, by the following roll call vote:

West Railroad Village DA 3 | Page
F. Project. The development of the Property is in accordance with the City's General Plan, as amended, and the Development Approvals shall be referred to herein as the "Project.”
G. The Mitigated Negative Declaration. The City examined the environmental effects of this Agreement and the Development Approvals in the Mitigated Negative Declaration (the "MND") (SCH No. 2024010060) prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City Council reviewed and certified the MND as adequate and complete as part of the approval of the Development Approvals.
H. Purposes. The Landowner and City desire to enter into an agreement for the purpose of implementing the plan for subdividing and development of West Railroad Village as set forth herein and Development Approvals and for mitigating the environmental impacts of such development as identified in the environmental document. The City has an expressed interest in ensuring the proper growth of the community by entering into Development Agreements as a method whereby a level of assurance can be achieved to meet that interest. The City has determined that the development of West Railroad Village pursuant to the proposed Tentative Subdivision Map 2023-002 is a development for which a Development Agreement is appropriate. A Development Agreement will provide certain benefits to the City; will eliminate uncertainty in the City's land use planning and secure orderly development of the Property in accordance with the policies and goals set forth in the City's General Plan.
The Landowner has incurred and will incur substantial costs in order to comply with the conditions of approval and to assure development of the Property in accordance with this Agreement. In exchange for these benefits to the City and the public, the Landowner desires to receive assurance that the City shall grant permits and approvals required for the development of the Property in accordance with the Existing City Laws, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. In order to effectuate these purposes, the Parties desire to enter into this Agreement.
I. Entitlements Needed Prior to the Development Agreement. The application for approval of this Agreement and the appropriate CEQA documentation required for approval of this Agreement, including:
• Tentative Subdivision Map 2023-002 (approvals may occur after adoption of the Development Agreement).
• Environmental Assessment 2023-07 (Certification of the Mitigated Negative Declaration).
The entitlements are collectively referred to as “Development Approvals.” J. Reserved.
K. Development Agreement Adoption. After conducting a duly noticed public hearing and making the requisite findings, the City Council, by the adoption of an Ordinance, approved this Agreement and authorized its execution. The City has determined that this Agreement furthers the public health, safety and general welfare, that the provisions of this Agreement are consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan and is a community benefit. The City and Developer have determined that the project is a development for which this Agreement is appropriate. This Agreement
West Railroad Village DA 4 | Page
will eliminate uncertainty regarding Development Approvals and certain subsequent development approvals, thereby encouraging planning for, investment in and commitment to use and develop the Property. Continued use and development of the Property is anticipated to, in turn, provide the following substantial benefits and contribute to the provision of needed infrastructure for area growth, thereby achieving the goals and purposes for which the Development Agreement laws were enacted, including (1) providing for the development of unused land; (2) providing increased tax revenues for the City; (3) providing for jobs and economic development in the City; and (4) providing for infrastructure improvements that can be utilized by regional users and future users.
L. Consistency with Yuba City General Plan. Development of the Property in accordance with this Agreement will provide for orderly growth and development in accordance with the policies set forth in the City’s General Plan, as amended and the Development Approvals. Having duly examined and considered this Agreement and having held properly noticed public hearings hereon, the City Council finds and declares that this Agreement is consistent with the General Plan of the City and with the Development Approvals.
M. Landowner Payments for the Costs of Public Infrastructure, Facilities, and Services. Landowner agrees to pay the costs of such City of Yuba City public facilities and services as herein provided to mitigate impacts of the development of the Property, and City agrees to assure that Landowner may proceed and complete development of the Property, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The City's approval of development of the Property as provided herein is in reliance upon and in consideration of Landowner's agreement to make such payments toward the costs of public improvements and services as herein provided to mitigate the impacts of development of the Property.
N. Development Agreement Ordinance. City and Landowner have taken all actions mandated by and fulfilled all requirements set forth in the California Government Code Sections 65864 through 65869.5 regulating the use of development agreements.
O. Flood Hazard. The City has imposed conditions on the project that will protect the property to the urban level of flood protection in urban and urbanizing areas. Such conditions may also be implemented as conditions of tentative maps or other entitlements.
NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to the authority contained in Government Code Sections 65864 through 65869.5, and in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein, the adequacy and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Landowner and the City, each individually referred to as a Party and collectively referred to as the Parties ("Parties"), agree as follows:

3.1 Project: Vested Entitlements.
3.1.1 The City has adopted certain approvals in connection with the Property, including the adoption of the Bogue Stewart Master Plan, the tentative map and Certification of the EIR (SCH #2017012009) for the Bogue Stewart Master Plan. To the extent the provisions of this Agreement conflicts with the General Plan and Bogue-Stewart Master Plan, those plans shall take precedence.

3.2 Project Phasing. Landowner and City acknowledge and agree that the Project is designed to be developed in phases. The Parties also acknowledge and agree that presently the Landowner cannot predict the timing of the Project phasing.
Because the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v. City of
West Railroad Village DA 7 | Page
Camarillo (1984) 37 Cal.3d 465, that failure of the Parties therein to provide for the timing of development resulted in a later-adopted initiative restricting the timing of development to prevail over the Parties' agreement, it is the Parties' intent to cure that deficiency by acknowledging and providing that the Landowner shall have the right to develop the building components of the Project in phases in accordance with the Development Approvals and at such times as the Landowner deems appropriate within the exercise of its subjective business judgment and the provisions of this Agreement.
3.3 Other Government Permits. The Landowner or City (whichever is appropriate) shall apply for such other permits and approvals from other governmental or quasi-governmental agencies having jurisdiction over the Project (such as public utility districts, Gilsizer County Drainage District, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, or Cal Trans) as may be required for the development of, or provision of services to, the Project. The City shall promptly and diligently cooperate, at no cost or damage to the City, with the Landowner in its endeavors to obtain such permits and approvals and, from time-to-time at the request of the Landowner, shall attempt with due diligence and in good faith to enter into binding agreements with any such entity in order to assume the availability of such permits and approvals of services. To the extent allowed by law, the Landowner shall be a party or third-party beneficiary to any such agreement and shall be entitled to enforce the rights of the Landowner or City thereunder or the duties and obligations of the parties thereto.
3.4 Additional Fees. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the City shall not impose any further or additional fees, taxes or assessments, whether through exercise of the police power, the taxing power, or any other means, other than those required by Existing City Laws and this Agreement, provided that:
3.4.1 Community Facilities District. Prior to the approval of any final map within the area covered by this Agreement, the Developer shall be required to enter into a Community Facilities District ("CFD") or similar funding mechanism acceptable to the City for the purpose of funding on-going operational costs for police, fire, and other government services and for the on-going maintenance costs for road and park facilities.

3.4.3 City shall have the authority to enact or increase development impact fees provided the fees are consistent with the fees applied to other properties in the City or area wide that is similarly situated.
3.4.4 If the City exercises its taxing power in a manner which will not change any of the conditions applicable to the Project and so long as any taxes are uniformly applied on a City-wide or area-wide basis, as defined below, the Property may be so taxed, which tax shall be consistent with the taxation of other properties in the City or area wide that is similarly situated.
West Railroad Village DA 8 | Page
3.4.5 If state or federal laws are adopted which enable cities to impose fees on existing projects and if, consequently, the City adopts enabling legislation and imposes fees on existing projects on a City-wide basis, these fees may be imposed on the Project, which fees shall be consistent with the fees imposed on other properties in the City similarly situated.

West Railroad Village DA 12 | Page
5.1.1 Developer agrees the City may require Developer to construct certain on-site and off-site improvements in a manner that provides for oversize or excess capacity beyond that size or capacity needed to serve the project (collectively “Oversizing”) so that the constructed improvement will be available to serve other development or residences or facilities outside of the Property. The City shall not require any Oversizing from the Developer except in connection with project approvals or in Development Approvals, and in accordance with the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act. Developer may be entitled to a fee credit or reimbursement for Oversizing improvements per Section 5 of this Agreement.
5.1.2 In the event that City requires Developer to install a specific improvement (for example, a traffic signal), Developer's obligation to pay the relevant development impact fees otherwise owed under this Agreement regarding the category of improvement the Developer is installing shall be satisfied by the installation of such improvement in the manner mutually agreed upon by the City and the Developer so long as the amount of the development impact fees for this category of improvement does not exceed the cost of such improvement. City shall accept Developer's dedication of such improvements, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
By entering into this Agreement, City and Developer agree that certain facilities, including, but not limited to, roadway, sewer, water, and drainage will be constructed by Developer pursuant to this Agreement which will benefit third-party landowners. Developer shall be entitled to a fee credit for any such facilities to the extent they benefit third party landowners in an amount as reasonably determined by the City. If Developer's fee credit for a particular facility exceeds the amount of the fee owed, then Developer shall be reimbursed for the amount the fee credit exceeds the fee owed by the benefited third-party landowners.
Developer shall request the City enter into a Reimbursement Agreement, which shall specify the reimbursement calculations and amounts as determined by the City. The Reimbursement Agreement will require future development by third-party landowners benefiting from the Oversizing to reimburse Developer's pro-rata share for a period of up to twenty (20) years from the installation of the oversizing or other qualifying improvements benefiting third-party landowners, provided, that Developer shall have the right to extend the initial twenty (20) year period with a single five (5) year extension request. The extension request must be received, by the City, in writing six months prior to the expiration of the Reimbursement Agreement. The City Council is authorized to enter into a Reimbursement Agreement on behalf of the City subject to approval as to legal form by the City Attorney.
5.1.3 Reimbursement Calculations. City will provide Developer with the available documentation showing the basis for the reimbursement amounts pursuant to Section 4.1. The reimbursement obligations provided in this Agreement will be in amounts as reasonably determined by the City.
5.1.4 Reimbursement Personal to Constructing Owner. All rights to reimbursement created pursuant to Section 4.1 shall be personal to the owner installing the improvements and shall not run with the land unless such rights are expressly assigned in writing.
5.2 City's Support of Public Financing for Project Improvements.
Development of the Project requires the investment of significant capital to fund the Project's necessary major infrastructure. Developer may, at its discretion, seek public financing mechanism for financing the construction, improvement or acquisition of major infrastructure. At the request of Developer, the City may consider the use of finance districts, special assessment
West Railroad Village DA 13 | Page
districts, and other similar project-related public financing mechanisms to fund the Project's necessary infrastructure.
5.3 Right-of-Way Acquisition. With respect to the acquisition of any off-site interest in real property required by Developer in order to fulfill any condition required by the Project or the Entitlements, Developer shall make a good faith effort to acquire the necessary interest by private negotiations at the fair market value of such interest. If, after such reasonable efforts, Developer has been unable to acquire such interest and provided that Developer (i) provides evidence of a good faith effort to acquire the necessary property interest to the reasonable satisfaction of City and (ii) agrees to pay the cost of such acquisition, including reasonable attorney's fees, City shall make an offer to acquire the necessary property interest at its fair market value. If such offer has not been accepted within 60 days, City agrees, to the extent permitted by law, to cooperate and assist Developer in efforts to obtain such necessary property interest. Any such acquisition by City shall be subject to City's good faith discretion, which is expressly reserved by City, to make the necessary findings, including a finding thereby of public necessity, to acquire such interest. Subject to the reservation of such good faith discretion, the City shall schedule the necessary hearings, and if approved by City, thereafter prosecute to completion the proceedings and action to acquire the necessary property interests by power of eminent domain.
Developer shall fund all costs of the acquisition of such necessary property interests, including reasonable attorney's fees and court costs in the event that such acquisition and/or condemnation is necessary.
6. Annual Review.

Notice of such annual review will be provided by the Development Services Director to Landowner thirty (30) days prior to the date of the public meeting by the Planning Commission and shall include the statement that any review may result in amendment or termination of this Agreement as provided herein. A finding by the City of good faith compliance by the Landowner with the terms of Agreement shall conclusively determine the issue up to and including the date of such review. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to create a duty of responsibility of City or Landowner or define an event of default that but for such concurrent review would not have been so created or defined.
6.2 Failure to Comply in Good Faith. If the City Council makes a finding that the Landowner has not complied in good faith with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the City shall provide written notice to the Landowner describing: (i) such failure to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (referenced to herein as a "Default"); (ii) the actions, if any, required by the Landowner to cure such Default; and (iii) the time period within which such Default must be cured. The Landowner shall have, at a minimum, thirty (30) business days after the date of such notice to cure such Default, or in the event that such Default cannot be cured within such
West Railroad Village DA 14 | Page
thirty (30) day period but can be cured within one (1) year, the Landowner shall have commenced the actions necessary to cure such Default and shall be diligently proceeding to complete such actions necessary to cure such Default within thirty (30) days from the date of notice. If the Default cannot be cured within one (1) year, as determined by the City during periodic or special review, the City Council may modify or terminate this, Agreement as provided in Section 6.4 and Section 6.5.
6.3 Failure to Cure Default. If the Landowner fails to cure a Default within the time periods set forth above, the City Council may modify or terminate this Agreement as provided below.
6.4 Proceedings Upon Modification or Termination. If, upon a finding under Section 6.2 and the expiration of the cure period, the City determines to proceed with modification or termination of this Agreement, the City shall give written notice to the Landowner of its intention to do so. The notice shall be given at least fifteen (15) calendar days before the scheduled hearing and shall contain:
6.4.1 The time and place of the hearing;
6.4.2 A statement as to whether or not the City proposes to terminate or to modify the Agreement; and
6.4.3 Such other information as is reasonably necessary to inform the Landowner of the nature of the proceeding.
6.5 Hearings on Modification or Termination. At the time and place set for the hearing on modification or termination, the Landowner shall be given an opportunity to be heard, and the Landowner shall be required to demonstrate good faith compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The burden of proof on the issue shall be on the Landowner. If the City Council finds, based upon substantial evidence, that the Landowner has not complied in good faith with the terms or conditions of the Agreement, the City Council may terminate this Agreement or modify this Agreement and impose such conditions as are reasonably necessary to protect the interests of the City.
7. Permitted Delays.
7.1 Extension of Times of Performance. In addition to specific provisions of this Agreement, performance by either Party under this Agreement shall not be deemed to be in default where delays or, defaults are due to war, insurrection, strikes, lockouts, walkouts, drought, riots, floods, earthquakes, fire, casualties, acts of God, acts of the public enemy, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, freight embargoes, restrictions imposed by governmental or quasigovernmental entities other than the City, unusually severe weather, acts of the other Party, acts or the failure to act of any public or government agency or entity other than the City, or any other causes beyond the control or without the fault of the Party claiming an extension of time to perform. An extension of time for any such cause shall only be for the period of the enforced delay, which period shall commence to run from the time of the commencement of cause. If, however, notice by the Party claiming such extension of time is sent to the other Party more than thirty (30) days after the commencement of the cause, the period shall commence to run only thirty (30) days prior to the giving of such notice. Times of
West Railroad Village DA 15 | Page
performance under this Agreement may also be extended in writing by the joint agreement of the City and Landowner. Litigation attacking the validity of this Agreement, or any permit, ordinance, or entitlement or other action of a governmental agency necessary for the development of the Property pursuant to this Agreement shall also be deemed to create an excusable delay under this Section.
7.2 Supersedure by Subsequent Laws. If any Law made or
enacted after the date of this Agreement prevents or precludes compliance with one or more provisions of this Agreement, then the provisions of this Agreement shall, to the extent feasible, be modified or suspended as may be necessary to comply with such new Law. Immediately after enactment of any such new Law, the Parties shall meet and confer in good faith to determine the feasibility of any such modification or suspension based on the effect such modification or suspension would have on the purposes and intent of this Agreement. If such modification or suspension is infeasible in the Landowner's reasonable business Judgment, then the Landowner shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the City. The Landowner shall also have the right to challenge the new Law preventing compliance with the terms of this Agreement, and, in the event such challenge is successful, this Agreement shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.
8. Termination.
8.1 City's Right to Terminate. The City shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if the Landowner is not in substantial compliance with the terms of this Agreement and this default remains uncured, all as set forth in Section 6.
8.2 Landowner's Right to Terminate. The Landowner shall have the right to terminate this Agreement only under the following circumstances:
8.2.1 The Landowner has found the City in breach of this Agreement, has given the City notice of such breach and the City has not cured such breach within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice or, if the breach cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, if the City has not commenced to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice and is not diligently proceeding to cure such breach.
8.2.2 The Landowner is unable to complete the Project because of supersedure by a subsequent law per Section 7.2 or court action.
8.2.3 The Landowner determines, in its business judgment, that it is not practical or reasonable to pursue development of the Property, however if termination occurs for this reason the City reserves the right to revoke any remaining entitlement to develop the property.
8.3 Mutual Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated upon the mutual Agreement of the Parties.
8.4 Effect of Termination.
8.4.1 General Effect. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, such termination shall not affect any condition or obligation due to the City from the Landowner prior to the date of termination and such termination shall not otherwise
West Railroad Village DA 16 | Page
affect any other City entitlement or approval with respect to the Property that has been granted prior to the date of termination.
8.5 Recordation of Termination. In the event of a termination, the City and Landowner agree to cooperate with one another in executing a Memorandum of Termination to record in the Official Records of Sutter County within thirty (30) days of the date of termination.
9. Remedies. Either Party may, in addition to any other rights or remedies, institute legal or equitable action to cure, correct or remedy any default, enforce any covenant or agreement herein, enjoin any threatened or attempted violation or enforce by specific performance the obligations and rights of the Parties hereto.
10. Waiver: Cumulative Remedies. Failure by a Party to insist upon the strict performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement by the other Party, irrespective of the length of time for which such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver of such Party's right to demand strict compliance by such other Party in the future. No waiver by a Party of an event of default shall be effective or binding upon such Party unless made in writing by such Party, and no such waiver shall be implied from any omission by a Party to take any action with respect to such event of default.
No express written waiver of any event of default shall affect any other event of default, or cover any other period of time, other than any event of default and/or period of time specified in such express waiver. Except as provided in this Section, all of the remedies permitted or available to a Party under this Agreement, or at law or in equity, shall be cumulative and not alternative, and invocation of any such right or remedy shall not constitute a waiver or election of remedies with respect to any other permitted or available right or remedy.
11. Project as a Private Undertaking. It is specifically understood and agreed by and between the Parties that the Project is a private development. This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and benefit of the Landowner and the City and their successors and assigns. No other person shall have any right of action based upon any provision of this Agreement. The City and Landowner hereby renounce the existence of any third-party beneficiary to this Agreement and agree that nothing contained herein shall be construed as giving any other person or entity third-party beneficiary status. No partnership, joint venture or other association of any kind is formed by this Agreement.
12. Cooperation in the Event of Legal Claim. In the event any legal action or proceeding is instituted by any third-party challenging the validity of any provision of this Agreement or any action or decision taken or made hereunder, the Parties shall cooperate in defending such action or proceeding.
13. Estoppel Certificate. Either Party may, at any time, and from time-totime, deliver written notice to the other Party requesting such Party to certify in writing that, to the knowledge of the certifying Party: (i) this Agreement is in full force and effect and a binding obligation of the Parties; ii) this Agreement has not been amended or modified either orally or in writing, and if so amended, identifying the amendments; (iii) the requesting Party is not in default in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, or if in default, describing therein the nature and amount of any such defaults; and (iv) the requesting Party has been found to be in compliance with this
West Railroad Village DA 17 | Page
Agreement, and the date of the last determination of such compliance. A Party receiving a request hereunder shall execute and return such certificate within thirty (30) days following receipt thereof. The Director shall have the right to execute any certificate requested by the Landowner hereunder. The City acknowledges that a certificate hereunder may be relied upon by transferees and Mortgagees.
14. Right to Assign or Transfer. The Landowner's rights and responsibilities hereunder may be sold or assigned in conjunction with the transfer, sale or assignment of the Property at any time during the term of this Agreement subject to the following conditions precedent:
14.1 No default by Developer shall be outstanding and uncured as of the effective date of the proposed transfer, unless the City Council has received adequate assurances satisfactory to the City Council that such default shall be cured in a timely manner either by Developer or the transferee under the transfer.
14.2 Prior to the effective date of the proposed transfer, Developer or the proposed transferee has delivered to the City an executed and acknowledged assignment and assumption agreement (the “Assumption Agreement”) in recordable form. Such Assumption Agreement shall include provisions regarding: (a) the rights and interest proposed to be transferred to the proposed transferee; (b) the obligations of Developer under this Agreement that the proposed transferee will assume; and (c) the proposed transferee's acknowledgment that such transferee has reviewed and agrees to be bound by this Agreement. The Assumption Agreement shall also include the name, form of entity, and address of the proposed transferee, and shall provide that the transferee assumes the obligations of Developer to be assumed by the transferee in connection with the proposed transfer. The Assumption Agreement shall be recorded in the official records of the County of Sutter concurrently with the consummation of the transfer.
14.3 Prior to the effective date of the proposed transfer, the Developer must obtain the City’s consent in writing to the transfer, which may be evidenced by the City Council’s approval of an Assumption Agreement. City's consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Factors the City may consider in determining whether to consent to the transfer include the financial capacity of the proposed transferee to comply with all of the terms of the Agreement and the history, if any, of compliance of transferee, its principals, officers or owners with the provisions of federal or state law, the Yuba City Municipal Code or agreements with the City relating to development projects within the City.
14.4 Mortgagee as Transferee. No Mortgage (including the execution and delivery thereof to the Mortgagee) shall constitute a transfer. A Mortgagee shall be a transferee only upon: (a) the acquisition by such Mortgagee of the affected interest of Developer encumbered by such Mortgagee's Mortgage; and (b) delivery to the City of an Assumption Agreement executed by the Mortgagee pursuant to which the Mortgagee assumes assuming, from and after the date such Mortgagee so acquires its interest, the applicable rights, duties and obligations of Developer under this Agreement. No further consent of the City shall be required for any such transfer to a Mortgagee.
14.5 Effect of Transfer. A transferee shall become a Party to this Agreement only with respect to the interest transferred to it under the transfer and then only to the extent set forth in the Assumption Agreement. If Developer transfers all of its rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, Developer shall be released from any and all obligations
West Railroad Village DA 18 | Page
accruing after the date of the transfer under this Agreement. If Developer effectuates a transfer as to only some but not all of its rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, Developer shall be released only from its obligations accruing after the date of the transfer which the transferee assumes in the Assumption Agreement.
15 Financing. Mortgages, deeds of trust, sales and leasebacks, or other forms of conveyance required for any reasonable method of financing requiring a security arrangement with respect to the Property (“Mortgages”) are permitted without the consent of the City, provided the Landowner complies with the following:
15.1 Mortgagee Protection. This Agreement and any covenants entered into between the Developer and City shall be superior and senior to the conveyance of any Mortgage encumbering any interest in the Property. No default shall defeat, render invalid, diminish or impair the conveyance of any Mortgage made for value, but all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement shall be binding upon and effective against any person (including any Mortgagee) who acquires title to the Property or any portion thereof or interest therein or improvement thereon, by foreclosure, trustee's sale, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise.
15.2 Mortgagee Not Obligated; Mortgagee as Transferee. No Mortgagee shall have any obligation or duty under this Agreement whatsoever, except that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to permit or authorize any Mortgagee to undertake any new construction or improvement in the West Railroad Village Project Area, or to otherwise have the benefit of any rights of Developer, or to enforce any obligation of the City, under this Agreement, unless and until such Mortgagee elects to become a Transferee in the manner specified in this Agreement. Any Mortgagee that affirmatively elects to become a Transferee shall be later released from all obligations and liabilities under this Agreement upon the subsequent transfer by the Mortgagee of its interest as a transferee to another person.
15.3 Entitlement to Written Notice of Default. The Mortgagee of a Mortgage or beneficiary of a deed of trust encumbering the Property, or any part thereof, and their successors and assigns shall, upon written request to the City, be entitled to receive from the City written notification of any default by Landowner of the performance of Landowner’s obligations under this Agreement which has not been cured within sixty (60) days following the date of default. Landowner shall reimburse the City for its actual costs, reasonably and necessarily incurred, to prepare this notice of default.
15.4 Priority of Mortgages and Subordination. Landowner shall ensure that all Mortgages subordinate to this Agreement. For purposes of exercising any remedy of a Mortgagee or for becoming a Transferee, the applicable laws of the State of California shall govern the rights, remedies and priorities of each Mortgagee, absent a written agreement between Mortgagees otherwise providing.
15.5 Collateral Assignment. As additional security to a Mortgagee under a Mortgage on the Property or any portion thereof, Developer shall have the right, without the consent of the City, to execute a collateral assignment of Developer’s rights, benefits and remedies under this Agreement in favor of the Mortgagee (a “Collateral Assignment”) on the standard form provided by the Mortgagee.
16. Covenants to Run with the Land. All of the provisions, agreements, rights, powers, standards, terms, covenants, and obligations contained in this
West Railroad Village DA 19 | Page
Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties and their respective heirs, successors, assignees, devises, administrators, representatives, lessees, and all other persons acquiring the Property, or any portion thereof, or any interest therein, whether by operation of law or in any manner whatsoever, and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, successors and assignees. All of the provisions of this Agreement shall be enforceable as equitable servitudes and constitute covenants running with the land pursuant to applicable laws, including, but not limited to, Section 1468 of the Civil Code of the State of California. Each covenant to do, or refrain from doing, some act on the Property hereunder: (i) is for the benefit of such properties and is a burden upon such properties; (ii) runs with such properties; and (iii) is binding upon each Party and each successive owner during its ownership of such properties or any portion thereof, and each person having any interest therein derived in any manner through any owner of such properties, or any portion thereof, and shall benefit each Party and its property hereunder, and each other person succeeding to an interest in such properties; provided that no liability or obligation shall accrue to any person, if this Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Agreement may be canceled, modified or amended only by mutual consent of the Parties in writing, and then only in the manner provided for in Government Code Section 65868. Minor amendments to this Agreement may be made without a public hearing upon approval of the Development Services Director.

West Railroad Village DA 21 | Page
City, Developer or any other person, and from any and all claims, demands and actions in law or equity (including attorney's fees and litigation expenses), arising or alleged to have arisen directly or indirectly out of performance of this Agreement or the performance of any or all work to be done by Developer or its contractors, agents, successors and assigns pursuant to this Agreement (including, but not limited to design, construction and/or ongoing operation and maintenance of off-site improvements unless and until such off-site improvements are dedicated to and officially accepted by the City). Developer's obligations under the preceding sentence shall apply regardless of whether City or any of its officers, officials, employees, attorneys, or agents are passively negligent, but shall not apply to any loss, liability, fines, penalties, forfeitures, costs or damages caused by the active or sole negligence, or the willful misconduct, of City or any of its officers, officials, employees, agents, attorneys, or volunteers.

The Developer further agrees that the use for any purpose and by any person of any and all of the streets and improvements required under this Agreement, shall be at the sole and exclusive risk of the Developer, at all times prior to final acceptance by the City of the completed street and other improvements, unless any loss, liability, fines, penalties, forfeitures, costs or damages arising from said use were caused by the active or sole negligence, or the willful misconduct, of the City or any of its officers, officials, employees, agents or volunteers.

This Section shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.
20. Insurance. Prior to starting construction of any phase of the project through the date of City’s final formal acceptance of off-site improvements constructed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the “Insurance Period”), Developer shall pay for and maintain in full force and effect all policies of insurance described in this Section with an insurance company(ies) either (i) admitted by the California Insurance Commissioner to do business in the State of California and rated not less than "A- VII" in Best's Insurance Rating Guide, or (ii) authorized by City’s Public Work’s Director. The following policies of insurance are required:
20.1 Commercial General Liability. Insurance which shall be at least as broad as the most current version of Insurance Services Office (ISO) Commercial General Liability Coverage Form CG 00 01 and shall include insurance for bodily injury, property damage and personal injury with coverage for premises and operations (including the use of owned and non-owned equipment), products and completed operations, contractual liability (including indemnity obligations under this Agreement), with limits of liability of not less than
West Railroad Village DA 22 | Page
$1,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage, $1,000,000 per occurrence for personal injury, $1,000,000 general aggregate and $1,000,000 aggregate for products and completed operations and $5,000,000 general aggregate.

Insurance which shall be at least as broad as the most current version of Insurance Services Office (ISO) Business Auto Coverage Form CA 00 01 and shall include coverage for all owned, hired, and non-owned automobiles or other licensed vehicles (Code 1 B Any Auto), with combined single limits of liability of not less than $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury and property damage.
20.3 Workers Compensation. Insurance as required under the California Labor Code.
20.4 Employers Liability. Minimum limits of liability of not less than $1,000,000 each accident, $1,000,000 policy limit and $1,000,000 for each employee.
In the event Developer purchases an Umbrella or Excess insurance policy(ies) to meet the “Minimum Limits of Insurance,” this insurance policy(ies) shall “follow form” and afford no less coverage than the primary insurance policy(ies).
Developer shall be responsible for payment of any deductibles contained in any insurance policies required hereunder and Developer shall also be responsible for payment of any selfinsured retentions.
The above-described policies of insurance shall be endorsed to provide an unrestricted 30 calendar day written notice in favor of City of policy cancellation of coverage, except for the Workers' Compensation policy which shall provide a ten (10) calendar day written notice of such cancellation of coverage. In the event any policies are due to expire during the term of this Agreement, Developer shall provide a new certificate evidencing renewal of such policy not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to the expiration date of the expiring policy(ies). Upon issuance by the insurer, broker, or agent of a notice of cancellation in coverage, Developer shall file with City a new certificate and all applicable endorsements for such policy(ies).
The General Liability and Automobile Liability insurance policies shall be written on an occurrence form and shall name City, its officers, officials, agents, attorneys, employees and volunteers as an additional insured. Such policy(ies) of insurance shall be endorsed so Developer's insurance shall be primary, and no contribution shall be required of City. Any Workers' Compensation insurance policy shall contain a waiver of subrogation as to City, its officers, officials, agents, employees and volunteers. Developer shall have furnished City with the certificate(s) and applicable endorsements for all required insurance prior to start of construction of any phase of development. Developer shall furnish City with copies of the actual policies upon the request of City's Director of Public Works at any time during the life of the Agreement or any extension, and this requirement shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.
If at any time during the Insurance Period, Developer fails to maintain the required insurance in full force and effect, the Director of Public Works, or designee, may order that the Developer, or its contractors or subcontractors, immediately discontinue any further work under this Agreement and take all necessary actions to secure the work site to ensure that public health and safety is protected. All payments due or that become due to Developer shall be withheld until notice is received by City that the required insurance has been restored to full force and
West Railroad Village DA 23 | Page
effect and that the premiums therefore have been paid for a period satisfactory to City. The insurance requirements set forth in this Section are material terms of this Agreement.
If Developer should hire a general contractor to provide all or any portion of the services or work to be performed under this Agreement, Developer shall require the general contractor to provide insurance protection in favor of City, its officers, officials, employees, attorneys, volunteers and agents in accordance with the terms of each of the preceding paragraphs, except that the general contractor’s certificates and endorsements shall be on file with Developer and City prior to the commencement of any work by the general contractor.
If the general contractor should subcontract all or a portion of the services or work to be performed under this Agreement to one or more subcontractors, Developer shall require the general contractor to require each subcontractor to provide insurance protection in favor of City, its officers, officials, employees, attorneys, volunteers and agents in accordance with the terms of each of the preceding paragraphs, except that each subcontractor shall be required to pay for and maintain Commercial General Liability insurance with limits of liability of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage, $1,000,000 per occurrence for personal injury, $1,000,000 aggregate for products and completed operations and $1,000,000 general aggregate and Commercial Automobile Liability insurance with limits of liability of not less than less than $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury and property damage.
Subcontractors’ certificates and endorsements shall be on file with the general contractor, Developer and City prior to the commencement of any work by the subcontractor. Developer’s failure to comply with these requirements shall constitute a default of this Agreement.
21. Miscellaneous.
21.1 Approvals. Unless otherwise provided herein, whenever approval, consent or satisfaction (herein collectively referred to as an "approval") is required of a Party pursuant to this Agreement, such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If a Party shall disapprove, the reasons therefore shall be stated in reasonable detail in writing. Approval by a Party to or of any act or request by the other Party shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary approval to or of any similar or subsequent acts or requests.

Except for the limitations on the exercise by the City of its police power which are provided in this Agreement or which are construed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Parties further acknowledge and agree that: (a) the City reserves all of its police power and/or statutory or other legal powers or responsibilities; and (b) this Agreement shall not be construed to limit the authority or obligation of the City to hold necessary public hearings, to limit the discretion of the City or any of its officers or officials with regard to rules, regulations, ordinances, laws, and entitlement of use which require the exercise of discretion by the City or any of its officers or officials. This Agreement shall not be construed to limit the obligations of the City to comply with CEQA or any other federal or state law.
21.2 Project Approvals Independent. All approvals that may be granted pursuant to this Agreement, and all approvals or other land use approvals which have been or may be issued or granted by the City with respect to the Property, constitute independent actions and approvals by the City. If any provisions of this Agreement or the application of any provision of this Agreement to a particular situation
West Railroad Village DA 24 | Page
is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, or if the City terminates this Agreement for any reason, such invalidity, unenforceability or termination of this Agreement or any part hereof shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of any approvals or other land use approvals. In such cases, such approvals will remain in effect pursuant to their own terms, provisions and conditions.
21.3 Not a Public Dedication. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to be a gift or dedication of the Property, or of the Project, or any portion thereof, to the general public, for the general public, or for any-public use or purpose whatsoever. This proscription does not extend to any portion of the Property that may be dedicated in compliance with any conditions of approval.

21.4 Severability. Invalidation of any of the provisions contained in this Agreement, or of the application thereof to any person, by judgment or court order, shall in no way affect any of the other provisions hereof or the application thereof to any other person or circumstance and the same shall remain in full force and effect, unless enforcement of this Agreement as so invalidated would be unreasonable or grossly inequitable under all the circumstances or would frustrate the purposes of this Agreement.
21.5 Construction of Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement and the Exhibits shall be construed as a whole according to their common meaning and not strictly for or against any Party in order to achieve the objectives and purpose of the Parties. The captions preceding the text of each Article, Section, and Subsection are included only for convenience of reference and shall be disregarded in the construction and interpretation of this Agreement.

In particular, the City agrees to act in a timely fashion in accepting, processing, checking and approving all maps, documents, plans, permit applications and any other matters requiring the City's review or approval relating to the Project or Property. Subject to extensions of time by mutual consent in writing, unreasonable delay by either party to perform any term or provision of this Agreement shall constitute a default.
21.10 Subsequent Projects. After the effective date of this Agreement, the City may approve other projects that place a burden on the City's infrastructure; however, it is the intent and agreement of the Parties that Landowner's right to build and occupy the Project, as described in this Agreement, shall not be diminished despite the increased burden of future approved development on public facilities.
21.11 Entire Agreement. This written Agreement and the Exhibits contain all the representations and the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Item 6
2 acre.
Specific Plan: The property is within the Bogue-Stewart Master Plan (BSMP) (adopted as a specific plan), which also designates the property as MDR and applies the same residential density standard as the General Plan.
Zoning: The project is zoned Two-Family Residential Zone District combined with the Specific Plan Zone District (R-2/SP-BSMP).
____________________________________________________________________________ Project Description
Tentative Subdivision Map (TSM) 23-02, West Railroad Village, and a Development Agreement.
The subdivision proposes to subdivide the 4.8-acre property into 21 duplex lots and six singlefamily residential lots, for a total of 48 new residences. The site, which currently has an orchard on it, is located within the Bogue-Steward Master Plan (BSMP) area. The subdivision will be served by an internal loop street with two access points onto the property, both from Railroad Avenue. The property has full City services available to it.
The Development Agreement, which is required by BSMP policy, will extend the life of the tentative subdivision map for 10 years, with the potential for further extensions upon agreement of both parties. In return the developer will pay the City a $2,300 per multi-family unit and $3,200 single-family unit neighborhood park fee that would otherwise not be a requirement of the subdivision.
Background
The BSMP was adopted by the City Council in January 2020. The 741-acre specific plan addresses development of the BSMP area in three phases – Newkom Ranch (170 acres) and Kells East Ranch (95 acres) subdivisions make up the first two phases for which there are approved tentative subdivision maps. Phase 3 is the remaining 476 acres) consisting of many separately owned properties, including this 4.8-acres.
The first two phases, Newkom Ranch Subdivision, and the Kells East Ranch Subdivision, were approved by the City Council concurrently with the BSMP. This is noteworthy as the EIR prepared for the specific plan reviewed these two subdivisions at a project level (more detail so that further environmental review is not needed), versus for the remainder of the properties within the specific plan boundaries for which the EIR was prepared at a program level (less detailed). As a result, further environmental review is required of this project. An environmental assessment was prepared for this subdivision to determine if there are any environmental concerns beyond what was considered in the original BSMP EIR (a copy of the environmental assessment is attached).
Although not a requirement, the notion at the time was that Phases 1 and 2 would progress towards development before Phase 3. To staff’s knowledge the original two subdivisions have not progressed any further towards development. This is worth noting only because the BSMP requires that several detailed studies must occur, including utility plans describing how the entire BSMP acreage can be most efficiently provided with City services and how to spread those costs among various future developments that may occur. As such this project or other projects, or a combination of them, will need to prepare these studies.

Item 6
3 Since adoption of the BSMP, Phases 1 and 2, as well as this and several other properties, were annexed into the City.
Analysis
Compatibility with neighboring uses:
TABLE 1: BORDERING LAND USES
On-site Orchard
North: Eight single story single-family residences
South: Agricultural land with a residence on it.
East: For a portion of the property there is a ranchette-sized lot with a two-story home on it. For the remainder the east property line is bordered by Railroad Avenue, with agricultural land across the street.
West: Orchard
The property is located in an area that contains many ranchette style homes, as well as properties that remain in agricultural use, typically as orchards. The adoption of the BSMP and annexation into the City enables the area to convert to urban/suburban uses over time, and agriculture uses will be phased out or will become a remnant use on the various ranchette sized properties.
Impacts on neighboring agricultural uses: Urban development is typically not very compatible with agricultural uses. Urban residents often do not appreciate living next to agricultural operations, which tend to be noisy, dusty, chemical spraying, etc. For this reason, most of Sutter County agricultural uses are protected from encroaching urban uses. The BSMP has policies requiring distance buffers between these uses – that is along the perimeter of the specific plan area. This plan boundary will become the agricultural/urban interface once the plan area is developed. But internally within the plan area, such as where this property is located, it is expected that all of the properties will eventually be urbanized, so no agricultural/urban interface buffers are necessary for this subdivision.
Impacts on neighboring single-family residences: There are eight single-story single-family residences along the north side of this property and one two-story ranchette style residence along the east side of the property (this project will be on three sides of the ranchette property).
Historically the City has been respectful of the encroachment of multiple-story residences next to existing single-story homes by limiting neighboring new homes to a single story. As has been the standard with other developments with similar issues, a condition has been included for the proposed new homes that will abut the existing residences. The new residences will be limited to single-story construction, or some residences may have a second story with no overlooking windows. The condition will apply to the proposed lots along the north side of the subdivision and around the single-family residence on the east side of the project.
BSMP Subdivision and Residential Development and Design Standards The BSMP contains specific development standards for subdivisions (parcel sizes, street widths, common landscaping, etc.). As proposed and with the requested conditions of approval, those standards will generally be met with a few very minor exceptions permitted by the plan that are
Planning Commission
January 24, 2024
Item 6
4 discussed below. The single-family residential design criteria will be applied as part of the building permit process as no specific residential construction is proposed at this time.
Variations to the BSMP Residential Development Standards The BSMP detailed development standards for all types of uses ensure consistent quality and predictable framework for residential development. The BSMP also has a provision for the Development Services Director to make minor modifications to the standards as long as the resulting neighborhood is in substantial conformance with the overall intent of the ordinance. The applicant proposes to make several minor lot modifications to the residential development standards provided in the BSMP. The proposed modifications are:
Proposed Revised BSMP R-2 Zoning Development Standards
Lots under 2,999 square feet Lots 3,000 square feet or greater Existing Proposed Existing Proposed
Minimum

12 feet 15 feet No change

10 feet but 18.5
feet for garage
driveway
These proposed changes are considered minor, designed to fit the characteristics of this property, and should not generate any issues for the development of neighboring properties.
Affordable Housing
Due to the higher residential density range allowed by the MDR land use designation, the BSMP identifies this property as a potential site for affordable housing. There are no policies requiring this but due to the allowed density range of six-14 residences per acre, and the proposed duplex/single-family residential development that will be approximately 10 residences per acre, it is assumed that housing will be more affordable than typical single-family residential development that typically is at a density range of 3-5 residences per acre.
Streets/Traffic
The existing roadway system in this area was constructed years ago to serve the needs of the local farming community. Since that time many ranchette properties have been developed in the vicinity for which this rural road system still serves. With oncoming urban development, however, the existing street system will not be adequate to serve development of the Bogue-Stewart Master Plan area. The BSMP determined the need for a significantly enlarged backbone road system for the entire 741-acre area, consisting of two and four lane arterial and collector streets, as well as improvements to effected SR 99 intersections. All of these collector and arterial streets will be provided with pedestrian access, bike lanes and appropriate landscaping. Although each new
Planning Commission
January 24, 2024
Item 6
5 project within the BSMP will complete their on-site improvements to those planned streets, improvements to the portion of these streets not fronting on project properties and SR 99 intersection improvements will need to be made also. A review is needed to determine the fair share cost of those improvements that will be borne by all new BSMP related development.
Availability of City services:
As it is within the City limits, all City services are available to this property. But just as with the street improvements, the BSMP provides basic infrastructure layout for City water, sewer, and stormwater drainage systems. Also like the street system, these systems will be developed in phases over time. Development cannot occur until these services are designed and installed to a functioning level. There is no schedule when this will occur as it is demand driven.
In addition to the normal economic cycles that often dictate when a residential project can move forward, there is also more review needed before any projects within the BSMP area move forward. The BSMP is an entirely new part of the City, so the City’s infrastructure plans must be updated to include this new area. Also, as required by the BSMP environmental document, various environmental studies must also occur prior to developing the property. The additional information that is needed is summarized below:
Infrastructure Design and Cost
Traffic – As the BSMP is a new area to the City, the backbone street system must be built. As many of the impacted streets will be within the Plan area (Stewart, Bogue, Railroad, etc.) and some will be outside the Plan area (SR 99, Walton, etc.) cost of improving these streets and phasing of the construction to match the development pattern must be determined. The cost of expanding off-site streets and disaggregating the costs amongst new development is needed.
Water – Detailed review is needed to determine costs and disaggregating these costs and improvements amongst the various developable properties is needed.
Sewer – similar to the above – how to pay for trunk line extensions, etc.
Drainage – The BSMP includes a preliminary drainage system that will send drainage water to a proposed pond system within Phases I and 2 (and then to the Gilsizer system), or out to the existing drainage system to the east, but more detail is needed as to disaggregation of costs amongst all developable properties and phasing of the construction of the trunk lines.
Water well funding – BSMP EIR Mitigation Measure 3.15-1 requires that the BSMP area pay its fair share for a new City water well.
Parks – Within the BSMP’s 741 acres are approximately 84.6 acres of parkland and open space to be dedicated to the City. Much of this is within the first two phases - Newkom Ranch and Kells East Ranch subdivisions. Determination is needed as to the amount of reimbursement that will be needed from Phase 3 projects (including this project) in order to have all projects pay their fair share.
Planning Commission
January 24, 2024
Item 6
6 As these reviews are relevant to the entire BSMP area or in some cases only the Phase 3 area (476 acres of the 741-acre planning area), how and when these studies will be funded is undetermined.
Project Reviews (triggered by the BSMP EIR) that must be prepared for this property include Biological Resources and Cultural Resources.
Development Agreement
There is also a proposed Development Agreement that accompanies this subdivision which is beneficial to both the developer and the City. The agreement provides the developer with an approved tentative subdivision map that has 10 years to build with extensions if approved by both parties. As discussed above, there are numerous services that must have detailed plans prepared, development fees determined for fair-share participation by property owners/developers. Considering the time needed for preparation of these programs, and due to a smaller residential market size and always fluctuating market conditions, this time extension benefits the likelihood of this subdivision being built.
For the City the Development Agreement’s public benefit is that the developer will pay an additional neighborhood park fee in the amount of $2,300 per multiple-family residence and $3,200 per single-family residence. This will allow the City to provide more neighborhood parks throughout the City than would otherwise have been available.
Environmental Considerations:
The environmental assessment was prepared for this project in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. This process included the distribution of requests for comments from other responsible and affected agencies and interested organizations.
Based upon the attached Environmental Assessment 23-07 with reliance on the previously prepared environmental impact report prepared for the BSMP, and the list of identified mitigation measures relevant to this project taken from the BSMP EIR, staff has determined that there is no evidence in the record that the project will generate any new significant effects on the environment not previously discussed and analyzed in the BSMP EIR, and recommends adoption of a mitigated negative declaration for this project. The findings of the mitigated negative declaration are that, with the relevant mitigations adopted from the BSMP EIR for Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Greenhouse Gases, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Noise, Transportation/Traffic, Tribal Cultural Resources, and Utilities and Services, the proposed subdivision will not create any new significant impacts to the neighborhood or vicinity that were not previously addressed in the BSMP EIR. As a result, the filing of a mitigated negative declaration is appropriate in accordance with the provisions of CEQA.
Recommended Actions:
A. Conduct a Public Hearing and make the necessary findings to:
B. Adopt a Resolution of the Planning Commission of the City of Yuba City approving Environmental Assessment 23-07 by adopting a mitigated negative declaration, subject to

PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. PC 24-01
RESOLUTION OF THE PLANING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF YUBA CITY (PLANNING COMMISSION) APPROVING ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 23- 07 BY ADOPTING A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION, SUBJECT TO THE
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL AND MITIGATION MEASURES, AND
CONTINGENTLY APPROVING TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP (TSM) 23-02, WEST RAILROAD VILLAGE SUBDIVISON, CREATING 21 DUPLEX RESIDENTIAL LOTS AND SIX SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTAL LOTS, FOR A TOTAL OF 48 NEW RESIDENCES ON APPROXIMATELY 4.8 ACRES, LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF RAILROAD AVENUE APPROXIMATELY 200 FEET SOUTH OF BOGUE ROAD; ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NUMBER 055-240-002.
WHEREAS, the City received the TSM 23-02 application from Junior Thiara to subdivide the approximately 4.8-acre property that is located within the Bogue-Stewart Master Plan (BSMP).
TSM 23-02 would create 21 duplex residential lots and six single-family residential lots and an associated Development Agreement that would allow for 48 new residences, for an average density of approximately 10 residences per acre (“collectively “Project”); and WHEREAS, this property owner wished to develop their property to urban levels and the property is located within the Bogue-Stewart Master Plan (BSMP) and the property was recently annexed into the Yuba City city limits; and
WHEREAS, there is also requested a Development Agreement that accompanies the proposed subdivision, which must be approved by the City Council; and WHEREAS, pursuant to the authority and the criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (“CEQA”) with the City as the Lead Agency, the Planning Commission reviewed related Environmental Assessment 23-07 which was prepared for this subdivision and Development Agreement (collectively “Project”) resulting in a determination of a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), which concluded that this Project will not generate any new significant environmental impacts beyond those considered in the BSMP EIR, and provided mitigations from the previously prepared EIR from the BSMP for which overriding considerations were made; and
WHEREAS, on January 4, 2024, the City sent to all responsible and trustee agencies and also published in the Appeal Democrat, a Notice of Intent to adopt a mitigated negative declaration and that no comments were received during the 20-day comment period; and WHEREAS, a review of the policies and programs in the BSMP as well as the General Plan and Zoning Regulations determined that the proposed TSM 23-02 and the associated Development Agreement was consistent with the BSMP, General Plan policies and programs, and the Zoning Regulations; and
WHEREAS, on January 24, 2024, the Planning Commission concurrently conducted a duly noticed public hearing on TSM 23-02 and the associated Development Agreement, at which time it received input from City staff, the applicant, the public comment period was opened, and public testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was considered by the Planning Commission, after which public testimony was closed; and
PC 24-01 2
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed all associated documents prepared for the Project including those related to the application for TSM 23-02 and the Development Agreement, and all of the evidence received by the Planning Commission; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission now desires to contingently approve TSM 23-02 such that no decision of approval of TSM 23-02 becomes final and effective until immediately after the City Council adopts the MND (EA 23-07) and approves the Development Agreement, and if no such approval occurs within 180 day of the adoption of this Resolution, then the Planning Commission intends TSM 23-02 be set for further consideration and a final decision by the Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this resolution have occurred.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the Planning Commission of the City of Yuba City resolves and orders as follows:
1. Recitals. The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the recitals above are true and correct and incorporated herein.
2. CEQA Finding. The Planning Commission finds and determines that there is no substantial evidence in the record that TSM 23-02 and the associated development agreement may have a significant effect on the environment beyond what was considered by the Bogue-Stewart Master Plan EIR as identified by the MND prepared in Environmental Assessment 23-07.
Additionally, the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council find and determine that an environmental assessment/initial study was prepared for this Project in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines and reflects the City Council’s independent judgment and analysis. The process included the distribution of requests for comments from other responsible or affected agencies and interested organizations. Preparation of Environmental Assessment 23-07 necessitated a thorough review of the proposed Project and relevant environmental issues and considered previously prepared environmental and technical studies. While the proposed Project could have a potentially significant effect on the environment, based on its independent judgement and analysis the Planning Commission finds that feasible mitigation measures or alternatives have been incorporated into the Project in order to avoid the effects to a point where clearly no significant effect on the environment will occur over and above those adverse impacts provided in the EIR prepared for the BSMP, and there is no substantial evidence in the record that this Project may have any further direct, indirect or cumulative effects on the environment that are potentially significant. The proposed Project will not result in any adverse effects which fall within the “Mandatory Findings of Significance” contained in Section 15065 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The Project-specific mitigation measures included in the Project to avoid potentially significant effects are set forth in the attached Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and accompanying Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. With the Project specific mitigations imposed, there is no substantial evidence in the record that this Project may have significant direct, indirect, or cumulative effects on the environment beyond what was considered in the Bogue-Stewart Master Plan EIR. As such, the Planning Commission recommends the City Council also find and determine that in light of the entire administrative record and the substantial evidence before it, the Project has been adequately environmentally assessed as required by CEQA per Environmental Assessment 23-07.
3. Adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission adopts the Mitigated Negative
PC 24-01 3
Declaration prepared for the Project, including the associated Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, as the Project will not result in any significant, adverse environmental impacts beyond what was determined in the BSMP EIR with the mitigations proposed.
4. Subdivision Findings. None of the following findings required by Yuba City Municipal Code Section 8-2.609, and the California Subdivision Map Act Section 66474 that would require the City to deny approval of a tentative map apply to this Project:
a. The proposed tentative subdivision map is not consistent with the applicable general plan and specific plan:
Evidence: The subdivision is consistent with the general plan and the BSMP. The subdivision will create lots for duplexes and single-family residences. The 4.8-acre property is within the BSMP (adopted as a specific plan) as well as the Yuba City General Plan. The proposed 21 duplex lots and six single-family residential lots will have a density of approximately 10 residences per gross acre. This density is consistent with the Medium Density Residential BSMP and General Plan designations, both of which allow a density range of six to 14 residences per gross acre.
The Project fronts on Railroad Avenue, which is designated as a Collector street in the BSMP. The applicant will make their fair share improvements to its on-site portions of that street to the collector standard. The Traffic and Transportation portion of EIR prepared for the BSMP also calls for this and other developments to pay their fair share of street improvements to other general Plan level streets within the BSMP, including the SR 99/Bogue Road intersection, for which this Project will determine and pay their fair share for those street improvements. As such TSM 23-02 is consistent with the Transportation and Traffic Element of the General Plan and BSMP.
The proposed 48 new residences are consistent with Housing Element policies for new housing, especially the proposed 21 duplex lots that will be at a higher density, which is also encouraged by the Housing Element.
The analysis of the Project found that, with the conditions of approval and mitigation measures, it meets all of the standards for public services and utilities and complies with the infrastructure policies of the BSMP and the General plan.
As determined by the mitigated negative declaration prepared for the subdivision and accompanying development agreement, with the proposed mitigation measures, there are no significant impacts on agricultural land, biological resources, water quality, and air quality above what was considered by the BSMP EIR. Further, the Project will be paying development impact fees determined by the BSMP and City-wide development impact fees for its fair-share of parkland improvements. Thus, the Project is consistent with the Environmental Conservation Element of the General Plan. b. The design and improvement of the tentative subdivision map is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans or adopted City standards:
Evidence: The design and improvement of Tentative Subdivision Map 23-02 is consistent with the City’s general plan and the BSMP. As discussed in item “a” above, this project is consistent with the City’s General Plan goals and policies including the adopted density ranges for the MDR designated land. The proposed parcel sizes meet the BSMP minimum
PC 24-01 4
parcel size and other adopted development standards, with several minor development standard modifications approved by the Director and are therefore of adequate size and configuration to accommodate the residences that will be permitted on them. The subdivision will be improved with a local street that meets BSMP standards, make appropriate improvements to Railroad Avenue, and pay its fair share towards improving the overall street network determined in the BSMP. The Project will also pay its fair share towards local park improvements, school facilities and other City and Sutter County services.
c. That the site is not physically suited for the density of development:
Evidence: The project site is physically suited for the density of development. The site is level and will be served by the full range of City services. Each new lot will meet or exceed the minimum lot sizes required by the BSMP. The proposed subdivision was thoroughly analyzed and compared to the BSMP and the EIR that was prepared for the BSMP, determining that the proposed density of residential development was appropriate for this 4.80-acre site and is physically suited for the proposed development density. d. That the site is not physically suited for the type of development.
Evidence: The site is physically suited for TSM 23-02. The West Railroad Village Subdivision was thoroughly analyzed and compared to the BSMP, and all of the relevant environmental issues that were addressed in the EIR that was prepared for the BSMP, determining that the proposed development meets all adopted standards and requirements except for several minor modifications approved by the Development Services Director by a process that is consistent with BSMP policies, e. That the design of the subdivision maps or likely improvements is likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat:
Evidence: The design of TSM 23-02 or its improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The mitigation measures within the BSMP EIR reduced most of the potentially significant impacts on biological resources to a less than significant level. Those mitigation measures are carried forward to this Project, thus not causing significant environmental damage and avoiding injury to fish or wildlife. There remains significant cumulative wildlife loss of habitat impacts for which overriding considerations were made by the City Council upon adoption of the BSMP EIR.
f. That the design of the subdivision maps or the type of improvements is likely to cause serious public health problems.
Evidence: TSM 23-02 is not likely to cause health problems. Every new residential lot will be connected to City water, sewer and storm drainage systems which will avoid public health problems.
g. That the design of the subdivision maps or the type of improvements will conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision:
PC 24-01 5
Evidence: TSM 23-02 will not conflict with any easements. The subdivision will be served by public streets that are dedicated to the City for public use and the parks and open spaces will be on land owned by the City. There is no use of private streets or other types of easements that the project would conflict with.
5. Flood Finding. There is adequate flood protection for the project as required by Title 6, Chapter 9, Article 6 of the Municipal Code.
Evidence: This proposal complies with this finding as the Sutter Butte Flood Control Agency (SBFCA) is the “Local Flood Management Agency” for the Sutter-Butte Basin and as such, has the responsibility to prepare an annual report demonstrating adequate progress as defined in California Government Code Section 645007 (a). SBFCA has prepared Adequate Progress Report Updates for ULOP and transmitted them to the Central Valley Flood Protection Board. As such this site has adequate flood protection. Additionally, the City has imposed conditions on the subdivision that will protect property within the area to the urban level in urban areas and urbanizing areas.
