3. An Amendment to Title 18 of the Municipal Code Amending Section 18.73.060 of
Chapter 18.73 of the Zoning Code Relating to the Dedication, Improvement and
Maintenance of Public Improvements
Director Molina presented a staff report with a PowerPoint presentation, which she
Examples of such maintenance include the landscaping of the perimeters of
subdivisions, the removal and planting of trees, and graffiti cleanup. Typically, when
cities create maintenance districts, there is an escalation factor which captures
increased costs of living, utility costs for street lights, water costs, etc. Director Molina
explained that the way Grand Terrace maintenance districts were set up, did not allow
for such escalators. Since 1989 the City has not been able to increase rates without
ore, City staff
recommends that the zoning code be revised.
Director Molina proposed the section heading of 18.73.060 be revised to include
"maintenance" and under section 18.73060, paragraphs B and C would be added.
Paragraph B states that all new development projects shall be annexed into the existing
landscape and lighting maintenance district. Annexation into the landscape and lighting
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Jun 1, 2017 6:30 PM (CONSENT CALENDAR)
maintenance district shall be required as a condition of approval for a subdivision,
conditional use permit, or site and architectural review approval. Paragraph C states
that the City may also require that maintenance of perimeter improvements also be
included with the landscape and lighting assessment district.

Deliberations from Commission:
There were no written communications regarding this item.
Commissioner Giroux inquired if the ordinance would pertain to individuals as well as
new construction developers. Director Molina explained that the amendment does not
include personal additions to household, and only pertains to new projects.
Commissioner Allen sought clarification about the special district's extra assessment for
street lights in addition to property tax, which all residents pay, but do not all directly
benefit from. In response, Assistant City Attorney Bettenhausen explained that the
assessment districts can be placed on top of property taxes because that amount
collected from property tax is not necessarily enough to pay for the cost of lights and
landscaping maintenance. He also pointed out that it will be a condition of approval for
all new development projects to be annexed into the lighting and landscaping
assessment district. The objective of this ordinance is to have new development pay for
its own benefits, i.e., street lights.
Vice Chair Ceseña further explained the ordinance by comparing the landscape and
lighting assessment district to an HOA overall, a number of commissioners were
concerned with the extra assessment, as it appeared to be a double taxation.
Commissioner Giroux sought further clarification asking Director Molina if residents
without street lights are paying for street lights through their property taxes. Molina
explained that indirectly, they do. Property taxes go into the City's general fund and a
small percentage of that fund does pay the cost of street lights. However, the general
fund is dispersed into multiple things, such as law enforcement.
Chairman Comstock, along with Commissioners Allen and Giroux all voiced their
support for the ordinance, as they see the benefits despite the extra fee.
There was one public comment from resident Jeff McConnell who felt that the ordinance
may be too broad. He felt tht there are many constituents who prefer not to have street
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Jun 1, 2017 6:30 PM (CONSENT CALENDAR)
lights, like the neighbors on his street. The City needs to identify where lights need to
be and who benefits from them.
Commissioner Giroux responded that there is no doubt that street lights are important
for pedestrians, police, drivers, and emergency vehicles. Vice Chair Ceseña added that
while some things are used more personally from our tax dollars, others are not. City
funds are not growing at same rate as new development. She supported the ordinance

2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This item supports Goal 3 to Promote Economic Development.
PROPOSAL:
Jai Ganesh LLC ("Applicant") represented by Edmundo Ilabaca of Futrono Engineering
Inc., has submitted Tentative Parcel Map 16-03 (TPM No.18274) to subdivide a 0.42-
acre lot, zoned R1-7.2 Single Family Residential into two parcels. Parcels 1 and 2 will
measure 7,369 and 10,677 square feet,respectively. Parcel 1 has an existing
residence and a Variance has been submitted to reduce the required 100-foot lot depth
Packet Pg. 12
B.3
to 68-feet.
A Site and Architectural Review application has been filed for the construction of a
2,290-square foot home with a 480-square foot two car garage on Parcel 2.
Pursuant to the City's Subdivision Ordinance, the City Council has final approval
authority on the tentative parcel maps; however, the Planning Commission has
reviewing authority and makes a recommendation to the City council on the Tentative
Parcel Map. The Planning Commission has approval authority on Site and Architectural
Review and Variance applications.
SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA:
The Subject Property has a triangular shape, that gradually slopes down from the south
towards the west. There is an existing residence on the east side of the property. The
project fronts De Berry Street, which is a 66-foot wide collector street, no dedication is
required for this development.
The property is surrounded by R1-7.2 Single Family Residential on the Zoning Map and
the designation is Low Density Residential on the General Land Use Map. All adjacent
uses are residential; however, there is Commercial Manufacturing less than 200 feet
away to the west.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
General Plan/Zoning Consistency
The project site is designated Low Density Residential (LDR) on the General Plan Land
Use Map. The proposed development is consistent with the Low Density Residential
designation because it allows single family detached residential uses. The Project is
consistent with the Circulation Element as street improvements shall be required and
reviewed as part of this development. The Project is also consistent with the Housing
Element which encourages infill housing and private development of underutilized land
for residential construction by maintaining the physical character of existing low
residential neighborhood.
The project site is zoned R1-7.2 - Single Family Residential, this zoning designation
permits single family uses. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the
development standards of the zoning code relating to lot width and lot size. A Variance
application has been submitted to reduce the lot depth requirement of Parcel 1, from the
required 100 feet to an average depth of 68 feet. Additionally, the Site and Architectural
review for the proposed single-family residence meets all zoning standards applicable to
building setbacks, lot coverage and height requirements.
Tentative Parcel Map/Conceptual Grading
The Tentative Parcel Map shows the subdivision of the 0.42-acre lot, into two parcels.
Proposed Parcel 1 contains the existing residence, and a new single family residence is
proposed on Parcel 2. The project fronts De Berry Street, which is a 66-foot wide
Packet Pg. 13
B.3
collector street. No dedication is required for this development; however, in accordance
with the Zoning Code, the Applicant is required to complete all right-of-way
improvements, including but not limited to, curb, gutter, sidewalk, street light, street
trees and asphalt paving to the center line of De Berry Street. The proposed lot
gradually slopes from the street level at De Berry Street to the farthest north point of
Parcel 2, and the grade difference between these two points is 12 feet over 194 feet.
Minimal grading is needed to support the new residence.
Variance
The Applicant has applied for a Variance to deviate from the lot depth requirement for
Parcel 1. Due to the triangular shape of the site, the design of Parcel 1 also results in a
triangular shape. The angle of the hypotenuse is such that the depth of the lot is
gradually reduced. At its deepest point the lot depth is 123.77 feet, and 0 at its shortest
depth. The average depth is 68 feet.
A special circumstance exists to support the Variance, because the triangular shape
makes it infeasible for the lot depth to be met for Parcel 1. The granting of the Variance
will not constitute a special privilege, but rather provide the applicant with the ability to
subdivide the property into two lots. In addition, the granting of the Variance will not
create negative impacts to the proposed and adjacent residences.
Site Plan
The proposed residence on Parcel 2 meets all the zoning site development standards,
including building height and setbacks. The Applicant is proposing to remove the
existing perimeter chain link fence and replace it with a 6-foot-high block wall. Staff has
included a Condition of Approval requiring the perimeter block walls to be decorative.
Architectural Elevation and Floor Plan
Parcel 1 has an existing residence. The Applicant is proposing to construct a one story
2,290 square foot single family residence with a 480-square foot, two car garage on
Parcel 2.
The proposed residence has a contemporary design and includes ample number of
windows at the front and back facades, and stone veneer accents. The applicant is
proposing an earth tone color pallet, which includes "Oakridge Estate Gray" laminate
roof shingles, the stucco finish will be painted in a sand color, with trim details accented
in dark brown and "Sand Flats" for the stone veneer.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The Project is categorically exempt per the California Environmental Quality Act, Code
of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15332, which exempts infill development when the
project is compatible with the General Plan and Zoning Code, is on less than five acres
substantially surrounded by urban uses; is on a site of no value to endangered,
threatened, or rare species; is served by public utilities and services, and there are no
Packet Pg. 14
B.3
impacts to traffic noise,air quality or water quality. A Notice of Exemption has been
included for adoption.
PUBLIC NOTICE:
Public notice of the Project was provided, including publishing in the Grand Terrace City
News and mailing notices to property owners within 300 feet of the Project site, 10 days
prior to the meeting date. In addition, a copy of the notice was posted in three public
places.
To date, City staff has not received any comments regarding the proposed Project.
CONCLUSION:
The Proposed Project is consistent with the General Plan Land Use and Zoning
designations. The Variance can be granted base on the special circumstance of the lot
shape. The granting of the Variance will not create negative impacts, and the
construction of the residence will complement the surrounding area. Staff recommends
adoption of the attached Resolution approving the Project.

B.3.a
1.The Planning Commissionrecommends that the City Councilfindthat the Project
is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15332 from the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Notice of Exemption prepared
in connection with the Project has been reviewed and considered and reflects the
independent judgment of the Planning Commission/Site and Architectural Review
Board, and is recommended for adoption.
2. The Planning Commission/Site and Architectural Review Board finds as follows
with respect to Variance 17-01:
a. A special circumstance regarding the size, shape, topography, location or
surroundings of the subject property exists. Due to the triangular shape of
the site, the design of Parcel 1 also results in a triangular shape. The
angle of the hypotenuse is such that the depth of the lot is gradually
reduced. The triangular shape of the property precludes the ability to
meet the lot depth requirement for Parcel 1. A special circumstance exists
to support the Variance, because the triangular shape makes it infeasible
for the lot depth to be met for Parcel 1
b. Because of the special circumstance, the strict application of the zoning
ordinance deprives the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other
properties in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification. The
Parcel 1 to meet the minimum lot depth requirement; and strict application
of the zoning code would deprive the property of privileges enjoyed by
other properties.
c. The granting of the Variance will not constitute the grant of special
privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the
vicinity and district in which the property is situated. The granting of the
Variance will not constitute a special privilege, but rather provide the
applicant with the ability to subdivide the property into two lots, and ability
to develop proposed Parcel 2. In addition, the granting of the Variance will
not create negative impacts to the proposed and adjacent residences.
d. The granting of the Variance will not authorize a use or activity which is
not otherwise expressly authorized by the district governing the parcel of
property. The proposed project is consistent with the Zoning Map, which
is intended for single family residences, and the granting of the Variance
will not authorize a use that is not permitted by the R1-7.2 Single Family
Residential District.
e. The granting of the Variance will not result in a situation inconsistent with
the latest adopted of General Plan. The project is consistent with the Low

3. The Planning Commission/Site and Architectural Review Board finds as follows
with respect to Tentative Parcel Map 16-03:
a. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the City General Plan and any
applicable specific plan for the area. The proposed single family
residential project at a density of 4.76 dwelling units per acre is consistent
with the Low Density Residential (LDR) General Plan designation, which is
intended for detached single family residential. It conforms to several
General Plan policies relating to the construction of street improvements
and utilities to serve the Project, and Housing Element policies to
encourage affordable housing development. The Project is consistent
with the provisions of the Zoning Code, except for lot depth for Parcel 1,
and for which a Variance has been applied for.
b. The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with
the City General Plan and any applicable specific plan for the area. The
density of 4.76 dwelling units per acre conforms to the density limitation of
0-5 dwelling units per acre of the LDR designation.
c. The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of
development proposed by the tentative parcel map. The site can support
the proposed development, which is proposing a single-family residence
on Parcel 2
d. The design of the subdivision and proposed improvements are not likely to
cause significant environmental damage or substantially and avoidably
injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The Project is infill development and
the Project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or
threatened species and qualifies for an environmental exemption,
pursuant to Section 15332 of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) Guidelines.
e. The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements are not likely
to cause serious public health problems. The two-lot subdivision will not
result in significant effect to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality.
f. The design of the subdivision provides for future passive or natural
heating and cooling opportunities in the subdivision to the extent feasible.
g. The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements will not
conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through
or use of property within the proposed subdivision, or the design of the
Attachment: Tentative Parcel Map Resolution_11.2.2017 \[Revision 1\] (2315 : TPM 16-03, V 17-01, SA 17-02 and E 16-14)
alternate easements which are substantially equivalent to those previously
acquired by the public will not be provided.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE:November 16, 2017
TITLE:Zoning Code Amendment 17-03 and Zone Change 17-01
PRESENTED BY:Sandra Molina, Planning & Development Services Director
RECOMMENDATION:1)Open the public hearing continued from October 19,
2017 to the present date to discuss the Staff Report; and
2)Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE
RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPT AN
ENVIRONMENTAL ADDENDUM AND ADOPT ZONING
CODE AMENDMENT 17-03 AND ZONE CHANGE 17-01
AMENDING THE ZONING CODE AND REVISING THE
ZONING MAP RELATED TO THE AGRICULTURAL-2
OVERLAY DISTRICT
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports Goal #3, Promote Economic Development by establishing a
framework to allow limited commercial agricultural uses within ranchette homes and
provides the flexibility for development based on the underlying zone district.
BACKGROUND:
On October 19, 2017, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on a
proposed zoning code amendment and zone change uponan approximate 46-acre
project area north of Vivienda Avenue. This proposal was brought forward by Council
direction. The Council received a request from three property owners within and outside
of the project area that the City consider initiating a zoning amendment for the 46-acre
agriculture uses in this area.
The Council authorized a professional services contract with John H. Douglas
Associates and directed staff tomake necessary revisions to allow agricultural uses with
ranchette homes.
th
The proposal brought before the Planning Commission on October 19would establish
a new overlay district: Agricultural-2 Overlay District (AG-2) over the entire project area
and which would amend the zoning code and zoning map. This approach would allow
property owners to exercise the option to establish light commercial agricultural uses
with ancillary ranchette homes on 1 acre lots; and would also retain the underlying M2
zone. (Refer to October 19, 2017 Staff Report.)
Packet Pg. 46
C.1
During the meeting several members of the public, including property owners from
within the project area and in the surrounding area spoke in opposition to the AG-2
Overlay proposal, with some stating that the entire project area should be re-zoned
Agricultural.
The Planning Commission continued the public hearing to November 16, 2017, and
directed staff to provide an analysis of: (1) rezoning the entire project area to A-1; and
(2) zoning the south half to Light Agricultural keeping the AG 2 overlay on the north half
of the Project Area.
DISCUSSION:
Zoning History
As previously indicated, when the City incorporated the City Council adopted both the
County Code and County General Plan. In other words, the zoning that was adopted by
the City was what was in place by the County. For the north half (Area 9) it was
Floodplain-T, and for the south half (Area 2) it was A-1-T.
General Plan. The Council conducted first and second readings on Area 9, at noticed
public hearings on September 13 and 27, 1984, and adopted Ordinance No. 81,
rezoning the Area 9 to M2, Floodplain. The Council rezoned (Ordinance No. 83) Area 2
from A-1 to M-2, after conducting publicly noticed first and second readings on October
25, 1984 and November 8, 1984.
The entire project area is in an Floodplain Overlay District. The FP overlay requires that
all uses except flood related uses/structures, require the filing of a conditional use
permit application. The FP overlay district would remain in place.
Request to Council
When the request was made to the Council to re-zone the entire project area to allow
ranchettes uses, the Council was supportive of the concept. The Council heard public
testimony from persons in support of the concept, and also heard from the property
owner of 26 acres that started there were opposed to rezoning of their property, which
the Council acknowledged. The Council directed Staff and the Consultant to make
necessary revisions to allow agricultural uses with ranchette homes.
Members of the Council also discussed that with the Santa Ana River Trail (SART) to

State agencies and partners with stakeholders to promote sustainability, economic
prosperity, and quality of life for all Californians. One program, the Sustainable
Agricultural Lands Conservation, has grant opportunities to develop local and regional
land use policies and strategies to protect agricultural land. The AG-2 proposal set forth,
would be a first step in that area.

creation of a new general plan land use category and a zone change and code
amendment to establish a new A-1 zoning district. A new A-1 chapter in the Zoning
Code would need to be created and the project re-noticed.
The property owner of 26 acres on the north portion of the site is on record that he
opposes the re-zoning of his property. The Chairman asked if there would be any
th
liability should the property be rezoned. The City Attorney indicated at the October 19
a City has authority to rezone property even if held by private property owners. A private
Packet Pg. 48
C.1
property owner gains a vested right in a lawful use after acquiring appropriate permits
for such use and spending a significant amount of money in pursuit of such use. If the
use is not lawful there is no vested right. If the use is not being exercised there is no
vested right. Even Conditional Use Permits typically expire upon abandonment of the
use granted therein for a period of 6 months or more. So the City is not restricted in its
ability to rezone how it sees fit. A property owner with a vested right can continue on as
a legal-non conforming use under a changed zone and be perfectly lawful in doing so.
However, that is not to say that litigation could not happen. If it were to occur, there
would be a cost to the City to respond to such action. The AG-2 Overlay proposal would
preserve the underlying M2 zoning, and still allow for agricultural related uses and
ranchettes.
Also, because of the requirement for a CUP, any proposal whether under the M2
regulations or AG-2 Overlay district regulations, would require a noticed public hearing
before the Planning Commission. The CUP would require the Commission to make
findings to approve the project, and allows the Commission to establish on-going
operating conditions of approval to regulate the project.
Option of an A-1 zone and AG-2 Overlay
This option would re-zone the south portion to A-1 and place the AG-2 Overlay district
on the north portion. The option would also require a general plan amendment to create
a new general plan land use category and a zone change to an A-1 zoning district. In
addition to the AG-2 Overlay District chapter, a new A-1 chapter in the Zoning Code
would also need to be created, and the project re-noticed.
The regulations and standards for the A-1 zone could be similar to the AG-2 Overlay
District, and again, because of the Floodplain Overlay, all uses require a Conditional
Use Permit.
Zoning and General Plan Amendments
Amendments to the Zoning Code/Map and General Plan require that the Planning
Commission conduct a public hearing and forward a recommendation to the City
Council. The City Council would then consider the proposal at a noticed public hearing.
The proposed AG-2 Overlay District achieves the direction that Staff was provided to
necessary revisions to allow agricultural uses with ranchette homes. The Option to split
the zoning with A-1 on the south side and AG-2 Overlay on the north side, could also
meet the direction provided the chapter is carefully crafted.
Attached is a comparison table of Permitted Uses: Existing AG Overlay vs. Proposed
AG-2 Overlay.

recommending the City Council
establish the AG-2 Overlay District, as proposed on October 19, 2017. The AG-2
Overlay District achieves the goal of establishing the zoning framework to allow the
establishment of commercial agricultural with ranchette housing. It is also the most
efficient method, as it will not require a general plan amendment. Therefore, Staff
recommends its adoption.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City
of Grand Terrace:
1. The Planning Commission hereby finds that the Addendum to the General Plan
FEIR prepared for Zoning Code Amendment 17-03 and Zone Change 17-01
satisfies the requirements of CEQA because:
a. No substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major
revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified significant effects;
b. No substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under
which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the
previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental
effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
significant effects; and
c. No new information of substantial importance, which was not known and
could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the
time the previous EIR was certified shows that:
(i) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in
the previous EIR;
(ii) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more
severe than shown in the previous EIR;
(iii) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be
feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one
or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents
decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
(iv) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different
from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce
Attachment: 4 - PC Resolution_11.19.2017 (2323 : Zoning Amendments North of Vivienda)
one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project
proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
3. The Planning Commission finds as follows with respect to Zoning Code
Amendment 17-03 and Zone Change 17-01:
a. The proposed Zoning Code amendment and zone change will not be
Page 2 of 8
Packet Pg. 59
C.1.d
detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare of the
persons residing or working within the neighborhood of the proposed
amendment or injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood
or within the City because they promote land uses that are compatible with
both the existing topography and land use patterns in the vicinity. Specific
provisions of the proposed regulations, such as the maximum number of
animals per parcel, minimum setbacks, required screening, and prohibited
uses, are intended to minimize adverse impacts on adjacent properties that
could result from agricultural uses. Further, the proposed amendment will
not alter the existing Floodplain Overlay zoning regulations on the subject
property, which serve to mitigate flood hazards.
b. The proposed Zoning Code amendment and zone change will be consistent
with the General Plan in that the property to be rezoned is designated
Floodplain Industrial in the Land Use Element, which is intended for light
industrial and light agricultural uses with rural residential use also allowed.
4. Based on the findings and conclusions set forth above, this Commission hereby
recommends that the City Council adopt the FEIR Addendum and further
recommends that the City Council adopt an Ordinance approving Zoning Code
Amendment 17-03 and Zone Change 17-01 to effectuate the changes shown on
Exhibits A and B, attached hereto.

Addendum to the City of Grand Terrace General Plan FEIR
for the AG-2 Overlay Zoning Amendments
Zoning Code Amendment 17-03 and Zone Change 17-01
October 19, 2017
Overview
In 2010, the Grand Terrace City Council certified the Final Program Environmental Impact
Report for the General Plan The City now proposes to adopt zoning
amendments to establish a new Agricultural-2 (AG-2) Overlay District and apply this overlay to
approximately 46 acres designated Floodplain Industrial in the General Plan and designated
M2-Industrial on the Zoning Map. The purpose of this Addendum is to demonstrate that the
proposed zoning amendments would not result in any of the conditions under which a
subsequent EIR or Negative Declaration would be required
pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166 or CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and
15164.
Purpose of an Addendum
CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines establish the type of environmental documentation that is
required when changes to a project occur or new information arises after an EIR is certified or a
Negative Declaration adopted for a project. CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 establishes criteria
for determining whether more detailed information, such as the preparation of a Subsequent or
Supplemental EIR, is needed, and Section 15164 defines the appropriate use of Addendums to
previous EIRs and Negative Declarations.
CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a) states:
When an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no
subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines on
the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the
following:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project, which will require major revisions in
the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
(2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project
is to be undertaken, which will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the
involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified significant effects.
(3) New information of substantial importance which was not known and could not have
been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was
certified as complete shows any of the following:
a. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the EIR.
b. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than
Attachment: 5 - Addendum_AG-2 Overlay_2017-10-19_draft (2323 : Zoning Amendments North of Vivienda)
shown in the previous EIR
c. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in
fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of
the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure;
or
d. Mitigation measures or alternatives that are considerably different from those
analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more effects on

the environment but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation
measure.
CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(b) states: The Lead Agency or Responsible Agency shall
prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary
but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a
The following analysis demonstrates that the proposed AG-2 Overlay zoning amendments do
not raise any new environmental issues and require only minor technical changes or additions
to the previous FEIR to satisfy the requirements of CEQA.
Project Description
The City proposes to amend the Zoning Code to establish a new Agricultural-2 (AG-2) Overlay
District and amend the Zoning Map to replace the current AG Overlay on four parcels and place
a new AG-2 Overlay on the eight parcels within the entire project area encompassing a total of
46 acres located north of Vivienda Avenue and south of the Santa Ana River Trail (see
Exhibit A). Allowable uses in the AG-2 Overlay would be in addition to those uses currently
permitted in the M2 zone.
Key provisions of the new AG-2 Overlay regulations are summarized as follows:
Permitted uses: Temporary uses would be permitted subject to site and architectural
review by the Planning and Development Services Director.
Conditionally permitted uses: Agricultural uses would be permitted subject to approval of
a conditional use permit. The allowable number of animals would be limited as provided
in Table 18.56.030 of the draft amendment. Single-family residences would also be
conditionally permitted, provided that such use is ancillary to a commercial agricultural
use. Other uses determined by the Planning Commission to be similar in nature to a
listed use would also be conditionally permitted.
Prohibited uses: Commercial composting, commercial recycling and animal slaughtering
would be prohibited.
Development standards: Standards such as lot dimensions, setbacks, lot coverage and
building height would be established as provided in Section 18.56.050 of the draft
amendment.
Environmental Analysis and Conclusions
In 2010, the City Council adopted an update to the General Plan and the area currently
proposed for rezoning was designated Floodplain Industrial on General Plan Land Use Map.
The Land Use Element describes the purpose of the Floodplain Industrial designation as
follows:
Properties designated with the Floodplain Industrial designation experience the
potential for severe flooding resulting from their proximity to the Santa Ana River. Attachment: 5 - Addendum_AG-2 Overlay_2017-10-19_draft (2323 : Zoning Amendments North of Vivienda)
Properties within this designation are planned for ultimate development as light
industrial, nonpolluting uses similar to the Light Industrial designation. Proposed
developments must demonstrate that adequate measures can be implemented to
ensure that the proposed use is effectively protected from identified flood hazards.
Presently, parcels within this area are largely undeveloped or developed as rural
residential land uses. It is anticipated that buildout of this area will occur over a long
period of time. During this buildout period, existing residential uses shall be permitted

and regulated under the requirements of the Low Density Residential land use
designation. Light agricultural uses shall be permitted including the keeping of animals
with the approval of an Agricultural Overlay zoning designation.
As compared to potential impacts analyzed in the General Plan FEIR, application of the new
AG-2 Overlay to the parcels shown in Exhibit A would not result in new significant impacts or a
substantial increase in the severity of impacts previously evaluated in the FEIR for the following
reasons:
The proposed zone change would not result in a larger area of ground disturbance than
previously analyzed in the FEIR because the affected area is already designated for light
industrial, and recognizes existing agricultural and residential uses. Therefore, potential
impacts such as traffic, air pollutants, greenhouse gas emissions and noise caused
during construction activity would be substantially similar to those previously analyzed.
The proposed zone change would not result in more intense development than
previously analyzed in the FEIR because the intensity of uses allowed in the proposed
AG-2 Overlay would not be substantially greater than the intensity of uses currently
allowed (i.e., light industrial, agriculture and residential). Therefore, long-term impacts
such as traffic, air pollutants, greenhouse gas emissions would be substantially similar to
those previously analyzed.
Potential impacts related to agricultural activities (e.g., dust, noise, odors) would not be
substantially more severe than previously analyzed in the FEIR because the affected
area was designated for agricultural activities, including the keeping of animals, in the
General Plan.
For the reasons discussed above, the proposed zoning amendments would not result in the
potential for significant environmental impacts that were not previously considered in the
General Plan FEIR. Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164, a
subsequent or supplemental EIR or IS/ND is not required.
