AGENDA STAFF REPORT
DATE: May 13, 2013
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
THRU: Jill R. Ingram, City Manager
FROM: Jim Basham, Director of Community Development
SUBJECT: MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT 13-5 REGARDING
NONCONFORMING USES
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council waive further reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1626
approving Municipal Code Amendment 13-5 regarding nonconforming light
manufacturing uses or structures in a residential zone.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
On April 22, 2013, the City Council conducted a public hearing for consideration
of this matter and introduced the Ordinance, which would add a new Section
11.4.40.070 to govern light manufacturing uses and structures made
nonconforming by a City-initiated action to rezone the property for residential
use. Under such conditions, the property could continue to be used for
nonconforming light manufacturing uses and structures consistent with the prior
zoning and regardless of any other regulations pertaining to nonconforming uses.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Pursuant to the State of California Public Resources Code and State Guidelines
for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the Community
Development Department has determined that the proposed project is
categorically exempt from environmental review per Section 15060(c)(2) of the
State CEQA Guidelines.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The City Attorney has reviewed the draft ordinance and approved as to form.
Agenda Item — Q
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no immediate financial impact to the City as a result of this proposed
action. If, in the future, a property affected by this Code Amendment were to be
developed as a residential use, the City could potentially realize increased
property tax revenue as well as a potential sales tax benefit from new residents
who would patronize local businesses.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council waive further reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1626.
