Conduct a public hearing. 2. Determine that the project is exempt from environmental review pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the common-sense exemption. Introduce and pass to second reading an ordinance entitled: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING MASTER CASE 24-112, CONSISTING OF UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE 24-001 (UDC24-001) AND SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT 24-001 (SP24-001), AMENDING THE SANTA CLARITA MUNICIPAL CODE, OLD TOWN NEWHALL SPECIFIC PLAN, LYONS CORRIDOR PLAN, AND SOLEDAD CANYON ROAD CORRIDOR PLAN AS SHOWN IN EXHIBITS A-H," waive reading of the text and consent to read by title only, as listed on the agenda. BACKGROUND The project was placed on the agenda for the regular City Council meeting on April 22, 2025. Prior to opening the public hearing, the City Council voted 4-0 to continue the item to May 13, 2025. The City of Santa Clarita (City) periodically updates the Santa Clarita Municipal Code (SCMC) and other planning documents to reflect current legislation and regulations, planning trends, and newly -identified planning issues. This helps to clarify code language in an effort to keep it relevant, fresh, and easy to understand and implement. The last comprehensive planning update Page 1 Packet Pg. 113 O of the SCMC was in July 2022. The proposed updates include text amendments to SCMC Chapter 2 (Administration and Personnel), Chapter 17 (Zoning), and Chapter 23 (Neighborhood Preservation); the Old Town Newhall Specific Plan (OTNSP); the Lyons Corridor Plan (LCP); and the Soledad Canyon Road Corridor Plan (SCP). City staff presented these proposed amendments to the City Council Development Committee on February 18, 2025, and to the Planning Commission on March 18, 2025. The Planning Commission, in a 5-0 vote, adopted a resolution recommending the City Council adopt an ordinance and approve Master Case 24-112, with its associated entitlements. The Planning Commission agenda report is available in the City Clerk's reading file. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed project would update the SCMC, OTNSP, LCP, and SCP. The proposed amendments were prepared by City staff in coordination with the City Attorney's Office. The project consists of text amendments only; no changes to the City's zoning map or development densities are proposed. The proposed amendments would address state and federal legislation and regulatory requirements, streamline processes, enhance customer service, and improve consistency and clarity in the SCMC. No construction or development is proposed as part of the proj ect. Amendments to Address State and Federal Legislation and Regulation Parking Minimums: Assembly Bill (AB) 2097 limits the City's ability to impose minimum parking requirements within one-half mile of a major transit stop. Generally, parking requirements may not be enforced on a project unless the City can identify substantially negative impacts on existing residential or commercial parking within one-half mile of the project. The proposed amendments would require those applicants invoking AB 2097 to prepare a parking demand study. Wireless Communications Facilities (WCF): The Federal Communications Commission expanded the area where ground -mounted equipment is required to be permitted when a new WCF co -locates with an existing facility. The amendments would allow ground -mounted equipment within 30 feet of existing ground -mounted equipment. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU): Senate Bill (SB) 897 and AB 2221 increased the allowable heights for ADUs from 16 feet to up to 18 to 25 feet. In addition, AB 1211 increased the number of detached ADUs permitted on multifamily properties from two ADUs to eight, and also prohibited the City from requiring the replacement of any parking that is demolished to construct an ADU. The proposed amendments reflect these changes. Thrift Stores: The City's current zoning regulations require a Minor Use Permit (MUP) for secondhand stores and a Conditional Use Permit for thrift stores; AB 2632 requires that thrift stores now be permitted in the same manner as non -thrift retail stores. The proposed amendments would update use charts to treat secondhand and thrift stores similarly to non -thrift stores and also create standards for any proposed donation collections at thrift stores. Page 2 Packet Pg. 114 O SB 35 Projects: Proposed language addresses AB 2668, which requires that projects meeting the provisions of SB 35 cannot be subjected to conditional use permits and other non -legislative discretionary permits. Amendments to streamline processes and enhance customer service Jobs Creation Overlay Zone (JCOZ): The 21-day JCOZ appeal period conflicts with the standard 15-day appeal period for public hearings. The proposed language would make the appeal period consistent with the standard 15-day appeal period for JCOZ projects that are approved or denied at a public hearing. Architectural Enhancement: Commercial, industrial, and higher density residential zones allow for additional height beyond the building height for architectural screening and enhancements. Proposed language would make the Mixed -Use Corridor zone, LCP, and SCP consistent with these zones. Mobile Pickup for Retail Businesses: Proposed language would establish clear development standards, including lighting and parking stall size, and allow for streamlined review for mobile pickup improvements for retail businesses. Golf Cart and Low -Speed Vehicle Sales and Services: Proposed language would expand and rename the Motorcycle Sales and Services land use category to incorporate sales and services of golf carts and other low -speed vehicles. Drive -Through Queuing: Proposed language would update the queuing analysis requirements for new drive -through uses to require local examples, when available. Residential Energy Storage: Proposed language would establish the setbacks and planning requirements for residential energy storage (e.g., backup battery systems), consistent with standards for other wall -mounted or freestanding equipment (e.g., water heaters, air conditioners, heaters). Residential Accessory Structures: Proposed language would revise the number of residential accessory structures (e.g., pool houses, barns, and detached garages) permitted -by -right (without an MUP) to be based on lot size instead of zoning designation. This would not alter the number of ADUs permitted on a property, or unenclosed structures, such as patio covers. Public Nuisance Enforcement: Proposed language would broaden the entities that can be held accountable for public nuisances, such as vacation rental companies. Amendments for consistency and clarity The proposed amendments also include minor updates for consistency and clarity, including: • Reference corrections for ridgeline preservation and commercial gating; Page 3 Packet Pg. 115 O • Correction of a footnote for Personal Services in the OTNSP; • Clarification that the City Council will make any necessary determinations that are related to consistency with the General Plan in compliance with Government Code Section 65402; • Replacing the term "open space" language for multifamily developments to instead reference private outdoor space and shared recreation facilities; • Elimination of affordable housing and density bonus land use charts that are superseded by state legislation; • Clarification that commercial auto storage is usually, but not always, for a fee; and • Clarification of development standards for emergency generators and detached residential patio covers. Entitlement Summary A Zoning Code Amendment (UDC24-001) is required to update the SCMC, LCP, and SCP and a Specific Plan Amendment (SP24-001) is required to update the OTNSP. These entitlements are subject to the zoning code amendment and specific plan amendment processes listed in UDC Section 17.28.110(H) and 17.28.120(I). ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS A Notice of Exemption was prepared for the proposed project. The project is exempt from additional environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines (14 Cal. Code of Regs. § 15000, et seq.) Section 15061(b)(3), the common-sense exemption. The activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. PUBLIC NOTICING All notices required by law were completed which consisted of a one -eighth page legal advertisement in The Signal newspaper on April 1, 2025. As of the writing of this staff report, City staff has received two letters regarding the proposed amendments from the community. CONCLUSION The proposed amendments to the SCMC, OTNSP, LCP, and SCP are consistent with the General Plan and support economic development and the general welfare of the City.

That the proposal is consistent with the General Plan; The project does not include any new development and is consistent with the General Plan's objectives, policies, and procedures. The proposed amendments will assist the City in implementing the General Plan by creating consistent planning documents and updating SCMC sections. Amendments reflect current recent legislation, streamline processes and enhance customer service, and clarify and make consistent code language in an effort to keep the code relevant, useful, and helpful to the residents and businesses of the City.

The proposal is allowed within the applicable underlying zone and complies with all other applicable provisions of the SCMC and OTNSP; Page 2 of 6 Packet Pg. 121 2.c The proposed project would be consistent with the following findings of the OTNSP: OTNSP-1: That the proposed use or project is consistent with the Old Town Newhall Specific Plan. OTNSP-2: That the proposed use or project meets the development requirements for the Zone within which it is located including parking, architecture, and ground -floor uses. The proposed amendments do not require a consistency finding with the existing code or OTNSP because the project would amend the SCMC, OTNSP, LCP, and SCP in general. While no consistency finding is required, the proposed amendments would not change development densities or the City's zoning map, and the changes are considered to be minor in nature, making the amendments consistent with these aspects of the SCMC. As described above, the project does not include any new development or construction. C. The proposal will not endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare, or be materially detrimental or injurious to the improvements, persons, property, or uses in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located; and Nothing contained in the proposed amendments would endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public.

The provision of utilities (e.g., potable water, schools, solid waste collection and disposal, storm drainage, wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal, etc.) is adequate to serve the site. The proposed amendments do not include development of any specific site, and would amend the SCMC in general. The amendments are minor and do not change the scope or goals of the various planning documents or the City's General Plan.

Page 4 of 6 Packet Pg. 123 2.c The proposed amendments are consistent with the objectives and policies listed above because they would ensure the City remains compliant with current legislation and provide planning documents that are internally consistent, easier to read, and that provide clearer direction than the existing code documents provide. The proposed amendments support the character of the City's neighborhoods and promote economic opportunities by providing development standards that are easier to understand and that provide a clear review process. C.

This comment specifically concerns the amendments to the City's parking requirements to implement AB 2097. Ca1HDF applauds the City for making changes to its municipal code to keep pace with changes in state law. However, the proposed ordinance fails to comply with state law, and the City should address these problems before approving the ordinance. Background Code section 17.51.060(N)(4)(a) requires that projects that take advantage of AB 2097 must provide a parking demand study showing that "there is not a negative impact and identify the amount of on -site parking required to prevent a negative impact. The parking demand study is a requirement of the City's entitlement submittal checklists, and a project application may not be deemed complete until a satisfactory parking demand study is submitted to and approved by the Director of Community Development" Requiring a parking study to show that there is not a negative impact is tantamount to requiring enough off-street parking to guarantee that there will be no impact. This subverts the intent and plain language of AB 2097. Government Code, section 65863.2, subdivision (i) (emphasis added): "The Legislature finds and declares that the imposition of mandatory parking minimums can increase the cost of housing, limit the number of available units, lead to an oversupply of parking spaces, and increased greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, this section shall be interpreted in favor of 360 Grand Ave #323, Oakland 94610 hi@calhdf.org Packet Pg. 196 2.d the prohibition of the imposition of mandatory parking minimums as outlined in this section" Required Exceptions While it is true that under certain circumstances the City may make findings in order to impose parking requirements on projects otherwise eligible for AB 2097. (Gov. Code, § 65863.2, subd. (b)(3.) However, there are other circumstances under which the City is absolutely prohibited from imposing any offstreet parking requirements. Government Code, section 65863.2, subdivision (c): For a housing development project, subdivision (b) shall not apply if the housing development project satisfies any of the following: (1) The development dedicates a minimum of 20 percent of the total number of housing units to very low, low-, or moderate -income households, students, the elderly, or persons with disabilities. (2) The development contains fewer than 20 housing units. (3) The development is subject to parking reductions based on the provisions of any other applicable law. The City may not subject such housing development projects to offstreet parking requirements, regardless of what the required parking study shows. As an example, a project that takes advantage of the state Density Bonus Law (Gov. Code, § 65915; "DBL") is entitled to a parking reduction (Id. at subd. (p)). This means that the City may not impose any parking requirement on DBL projects that are eligible for AB 2097, regardless of whether or not a parking study demonstrates negative impacts. ♦1♦ Ca1HDF appreciates the City's thorough effort to implement state law governing offstreet parking. However, the City should amend its ordinance to ensure that it complies with state law.

This comment specifically concerns the amendments to the City's regulations for ADUs and JADUs. Ca1HDF applauds the City for making changes to its ADU regulations to keep pace with changes in state law. However, the proposed ordinance fails to comply with state law in a few ways, and the City should address these problems before approving the ordinance. Ca1HDF notes that the California Department of Housing and Community Development brought up many of the below deficiencies in its letter dated March 24, 2023. Background The law gives local governments authority to enact zoning ordinances that implement a variety of development standards on ADUs. (Gov. Code, § 66314.) The standards in these local ordinances are limited by state law so as not to overly restrict ADU development. (See id.) Separately from local ADU ordinances, Government Code section 66323 establishes a narrower set of ADU types that local governments have a ministerial duty to approve. "Notwithstanding Sections 66314 to 66322 ... a local agency shall ministerially approve" these types of ADUs. (Id. at subd. (a).) This means that ADUs that satisfy the minimal requirements of section 66323 must be approved regardless of any contrary provisions of the local ADU ordinance. (Ibid.) Local governments may not impose their own standards on such ADUs. (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (b) [A local agency shall not impose any objective development or 360 Grand Ave #323, Oakland 94610 hi@calhdf.org Packet Pg. 199 2.d design standard that is not authorized by this section upon any accessory dwelling unit that meets the requirements of any of paragraphs (1) to (4), inclusive, of subdivision (a)" ].) In addition, ADUs that qualify for the protections of Government Code section 66323, like other ADUs, must be processed by local governments within 60 days of a complete permit application submittal. (Gov. Code, § 66317, subd. (a).) State law also prohibits creating regulations on ADU development not explicitly allowed by state law. Government Code Section 66315 states, "No additional standards, other than those provided in Section 66314, shall be used or imposed, including an owner -occupant requirement, except that a local agency may require that the property may be used for rentals of terms 30 days or longer." Impermissible Limitation on ADUs in High Fire Hazard Severity Zones Code section 17.57.040(L)(1)(b) limits impose additional standards on ADUs developed in high fire hazard severity zones as defined by the Los Angeles County Fire Department. Specifically, these standards require two distinct means of vehicular access to a highway and each access road must be 24 feet in width. However, this regulation is not permitted for ADUs that qualify for the provisions of Government Code section 66323 subdivision (a) (See Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (b)). From page 20 of the January 2025 HCD ADU Handbook: `A local agency may not impose development or design standards, including both local standards and standards found in State ADU Law, on 66323 Units that are not specifically listed in Government Code section 66323. (Gov. Code, § 66323, subds. (a), (b).) This includes, but is not limited to, parking, height, setbacks, or other zoning provisions (e.g., lot size, open space, floor area ratio, etc.)" Requirements regarding road width and access are undoubtedly development standards, and the City therefore may not impose them on section 66323 ADUs. Impermissible Maximum Unit Size Code section 17.57.040(L)(2)(a)(ii) limits ADUs to 850 square feet if they are up to one bedroom and 1000 square feet if they are up to two bedrooms. While the code may limit the size of new construction, detached ADUs in conjunction with a single family home pursuant to Government Code section 66314, the City may not impose any size limitations developed on multifamily properties and eligible for the protections of Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a)(4). See pages 18-20 of the January 2025 HCD ADU Handbook for more information on section 66323 ADUs. 2of8 Packet Pg. 200 2.d Impermissible Front Setback Requirement Code section 17.57.040(L)(2)(c) requires new detached ADUs to obey underlying front setback regulations as well as corner and reverse corner setbacks. However, Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a) does not permit any imposition of front setback requirements if the ADUs qualify for the protections of that section of law. There are many policy reasons for this. For instance, a homeowner may prefer to preserve a private backyard space while redeveloping the less useful front yard. While children may play in the backyard, the front yard is closer to the street and less safe for a variety of activities. The City therefore must allow front yard ADUs that comply with the standards in Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a) both on single family and on multifamily properties. HCD has issued guidance under its authority in Government Code section 66327 (that guidance is located in the January 2025 HCD ADU Handbook, page 18) affirming the duty of local agencies to allow ADUs protected by Government Code section 66323 in the front setback under all circumstances. This applies whether the property is a single family home or a multifamily building. Impermissible Parking Requirements Code section 17.57.040(L)(2)(f) imposes parking requirements on all ADUs, less certain exceptions. However, as discussed supra, the City cannot require parking for ADUs that conform to the requirements of Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a), as section 66323, subdivision (b) specifically exempts such ADUs from all local requirements. From page 20 of the January 2025 HCD ADU Handbook (emphasis added): A local agency may not impose development or design standards, including both local standards and standards found in State ADU Law, on 66323 Units that are not specifically listed in Government Code section 66323. (Gov. Code, § 66323, subds. (a), M.) This includes, but is not limited to, parking, height, setbacks, or other zoning provisions (e.g., lot size, open space, floor area ratio, etc.). Separately, Code section 17.57.040(L)(3)(b)(ii) requires replacement of required parking on multifamily buildings if the parking has been converted to an ADU. However, Government Code section 66314, subdivision (d)(11) plainly states, "When a garage, carport, covered parking structure, or uncovered parking space is demolished in conjunction with the construction of an accessory dwelling unit or converted to an accessory dwelling unit, the local agency shall not require that those offstreet parking spaces be replaced" the City therefore may not require replacement of this parking. 3of8 Packet Pg. 201 2.d Impermissible Design Regulations Code sections 17.57.040(L)(2)(g) and (i) imposes design requirements on ADUs, including color, materials, roof incline, the City's design guidelines, and construction materials, including a prohibition on metal siding. However, the City may not impose any design requirements on Section 66323 ADUs. From page 20 of the January 2025 HCD ADU Handbook (emphasis added): A local agency may not impose development or design standards, including both local standards and standards found in State ADU Law, on 66323 Units that are not specifically listed in Government Code section 66323. (Gov. Code, § 66323, subds. (a), M.) This includes, but is not limited to, parking, height, setbacks, or other zoning provisions (e.g., lot size, open space, floor area ratio, etc.). Impermissible Rear Yard Coverage Regulation Code section 17.57.040(L)(2)(h) imposes rear yard coverage regulations on ADUs. However, the City may not impose any such lot coverage requirements on Section 66323 ADUs. From page 20 of the January 2025 HCD ADU Handbook (emphasis added): A local agency may not impose development or design standards, including both local standards and standards found in State ADU Law, on 66323 Units that are not specifically listed in Government Code section 66323. (Gov. Code, § 66323, subds. (a), M.) This includes, but is not limited to, parking, height, setbacks, or other zoning provisions (e.g., lot size, open space, floor area ratio, etc.). Impermissible Distance Between Structures Requirements Code section 17.57.040(L)(2)(k) a six foot distance between structures regulation on ADUs. While the City may regulate building to building separation for ADUs subject only to its local standards pursuant to Government Code section 66314, it may not regulate building to building separation for ADUs eligible for the protections of Government Code section 66323, as discussed supra. Impermissible Owner Occupancy Requirement Code section 17.57.040(L)(2)(n)(i) requires owner occupancy as a condition of ADU development for ADUs developed after Januury 1, 2025. This requirement is plainly unlawful. As discussed supra, Government Code section 66315 states (emphasis added), "No additional standards, other than those provided in Section 4of8 Packet Pg. 202 2.d 66314, shall be used or imposed, including an owner -occupant requirement, except that a local agency may require that the property may be used for rentals of terms 30 days or longer." The fact that owner -occupancy requirements are prohibited by state law is discussed on pages 16, 22, 34, and 48 of the January 2025 ADU Handbook. From page 34 of the handbook: "Can local agencies require owner -occupancy for an ADU? No. A local agency cannot impose an owner -occupancy requirement on any ADU (Gov. Code, § 66315)" Impermissible Open Space Requirement Code section 17.57.040(L)(2)(o) imposes open space replacement regulations on ADUs. However, the City may not impose any such requirements on Section 66323 ADUs. From page 20 of the January 2025 HCD ADU Handbook (emphasis added): A local agency may not impose development or design standards, including both local standards and standards found in State ADU Law, on 66323 Units that are not specifically listed in Government Code section 66323. (Gov. Code, § 66323, subds. (a), M.) This includes, but is not limited to, parking, height, setbacks, or other zoning provisions (e.g., lot size, open space, floor area ratio, etc.). Impermissible Tree Preservation Requirement Code section 17.57.040(L)(2)(p) imposes oak tree preservation requirements on ADUs. However, the City may not impose any such requirements on Section 66323 ADUs. From page 20 of the January 2025 HCD ADU Handbook (emphasis added): A local agency may not impose development or design standards, including both local standards and standards found in State ADU Law, on 66323 Units that are not specifically listed in Government Code section 66323. (Gov. Code, § 66323, subds. (a), M.) This includes, but is not limited to, parking, height, setbacks, or other zoning provisions (e.g., lot size, open space, floor area ratio, etc.). Impermissible Ecological Area Regulation Code section 17.57.040(L)(2)(q) imposes the requirements of the significant ecological area overlay zone on ADUs. However, the City may not impose any such requirements on Section 66323 ADUs. 5of8 Packet Pg. 203 2.d From page 20 of the January 2025 HCD ADU Handbook (emphasis added): A local agency may not impose development or design standards, including both local standards and standards found in State ADU Law, on 66323 Units that are not specifically listed in Government Code section 66323. (Gov. Code, § 66323, subds. (a), M.) This includes, but is not limited to, parking, height, setbacks, or other zoning provisions (e.g., lot size, open space, floor area ratio, etc.). Impermissible Ban on Separate Conveyance Code section 17.57.040(L)(2)(r) imposes a blanket ban on all separate conveyance of ADUs. However, Government Code section 66341 allows for such separate conveyance under certain circumstances, and the City must allow such conveyance under those circumstances. Impermissible Deed Restriction Requirement Code section 17.57.040(L)(2)(s) requires a deed restriction to be placed on the property as a condition of developing an ADU. This is a clear violation of Government Code section 66323, which prohibits any standards not explicitly authorized in that section. Deed restrictions are also not permitted by Government Code section 66315, which forbids standards not listed in section 66314. The California Department of Housing and Community Development ("HCD") has communicated that such deed restrictions are unlawful. The January 2025 HCD ADU Handbook specifically forbids deed restrictions as a condition of ADU development (see page 22). Additionally, such deed restrictions imposed on ADUs (or on other accessory structures) are unenforceable. This is due to the absence of horizontal privity between the City and the applicant. In other words, since the City does not own the applicant's property at the time of the application, and does not own a neighboring property to whose benefit the proposed restriction(s) redound, black letter property law bars the restrictions from binding future property owners. (See, e.g., Scaringe a J. C. C. Enters (1988) 205 Cal.App.3d 1536 [describing the types of privity relationship between covenanting parties that allow enforcement of a deed restriction]; see also Civ. Code, §§ 1460 et seq.) The City should therefore amend the proposed ordinance to remove the deed restriction Requirement. 6of8 Packet Pg. 204 2.d Impermissible Restrictions on Multifamily ADUs Code section 17.57.040(L)(3)(b) imposes impressible restrictions on ADUs developed on multifamily parcels. First, the code restricts new construction ADUs to 16 feet in height. However, Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a)(4)(i) plainly allows ADUs to take advantage of the "height limitation in subparagraph (A), (B), or (C) of paragraph (4) of subdivision (b) of Section 66321, as applicable..." This means that such ADUs could be up to 20 feet in height in some circumstances. Second, code section 17.57.040(L)(3)(b) only allows a multifamily property to have either conversion ADUs or multifamily ADUs, not both. This disregards the plan language of Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a) (emphasis added): "Notwithstanding Sections 66314 to 66322, inclusive, a local agency shall ministerially approve an application for a building permit within a residential or mixed -use zone to create any of the following.. And from the January 2025 HCD ADU Handbook, page 19: "The local agency must allow the four categories of ADUs [referencing the four types of section 66323 ADUs] listed above to be combined as allowed by the site and lot conditions" The City must amend its code to allow a multifamily development to have both conversion ADUs and new construction ADUs pursuant to Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a). Duty to Exempt Certain ADUs from Impact Fees Code section 17.57.040(L)(5) states that impact fees shall be levied on ADUs as established by City Council resolution. However, Government Code section 66324, subdivision (c)(1) obligates the City to not charge impact fees on ADUs smaller than 750 square feet in size. ♦1♦ Ca1HDF appreciates the City's thorough effort to implement state law governing ADU construction.

REQUEST The City of Santa Clarita (City) proposes to update the Santa Clarita Municipal Code (SCMC), including text amendments to Chapter 2 (Administration and Personnel), Chapter 17 (Zoning) and Chapter 23 (Neighborhood Preservation); the Old Town Newhall Specific Plan (OTNSP); the Lyons Corridor Plan (LCP); and the Soledad Canyon Road Corridor Plan (SCP). Page 1 Packet Pg. 95 O BACKGROUND The City periodically updates the SCMC and other planning regulations to reflect current legislation and regulations, planning trends, and newly -identified planning issues. This helps to clarify code language in an effort to keep the development code relevant, fresh, and easy to understand and implement. Planning's last comprehensive update of the SCMC was in 2022. These proposed amendments are now recommended as the next round of comprehensive updates to the SCMC along with minor updates to the OTNSP, LCP, and SCP. City staff presented these proposed amendments to the City Council Development Committee on February 18, 2025. The Planning Division works with the City's planning documents on a daily basis. As questions arise about code interpretations, potential new land use categories, and development regulations, City staff documents and analyzes these issues to determine if the City's planning documents should be revised. Questions that are raised repeatedly may indicate a need for better language that more effectively conveys the code's intent. Clearer language makes the code documents easier to read, use, and interpret, and further allows the City flexibility to adapt to the changing needs of the community. Additionally, state legislation regarding housing and other types of development and uses continues to evolve, as do federal regulations for wireless communications facilities (WCFs). City staff tracks this changing regulatory environment and, as appropriate, updates the code in order to implement these changes. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed project would update the SCMC, OTNSP, LCP, and SCP. The proposed amendments were prepared by City staff in coordination with the City Attorney's Office. The project consists of text amendments only; no changes to the City's zoning map or development densities are proposed. The intent of the proposed code amendments is to address state and federal legislation and regulations that have been implemented since the 2022 code update, to streamline processes and enhance customer service, and to update the code for consistency and clarity. No construction or development is proposed as part of the project. The proposed amendments would require the approval of the City Council. Summary of Proposed Changes The following amendments are included in the proposed project and fall within the following categories: Amendments to address state and federal legislation and regulatory requirements; Amendments for streamlining processes and enhancing customer service; and, Amendments for consistency and clarity. All proposed SCMC amendment language is detailed in a redline/strikethrough document included with this staff report as Exhibit A. The same language is provided as it would appear (without redlines) in the SCMC as Exhibit B. Additionally, all proposed amendment language for specific and corridor plans is attached as follows: Old Town Newhall Specific Plan (redline/strikethrough in Exhibit C; final draft in Exhibit D), the Lyons Corridor Plan Page 2 Packet Pg. 96 O (redline/strikethrough in Exhibit E; final draft in Exhibit F), and the Soledad Canyon Road Corridor Plan (redline/strikethrough in Exhibit G; final draft in Exhibit G). Amendments to address state and federal legislation and regulation Parking Minimums: The City's ability to impose minimum parking requirements within one- half mile of a major transit stop is limited by Assembly Bill (AB) 2097. Generally, parking requirements may not be enforced unless the City can identify substantially negative impacts on existing residential or commercial parking within one-half mile of the project. A Director's Policy requiring a parking demand study in accordance with AB 2097 was established to determine the project's impact on existing parking supply on March 6, 2024. The proposed amendments would codify the Director's Policy into the SCMC, requiring applicants to prepare a parking demand study to invoke AB 2097. Wireless Communications Facilities (WCF): The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) revised their regulations to expand the area where ground -mounted equipment is permitted as part of a collocation to anywhere within 30 feet of the existing WCF enclosure. Proposed language would amend the definition of a "substantial change" as it relates to ground - mounted equipment for WCFs being co -located with existing WCFs, establishing the 30-foot radius in compliance with the FCC requirement. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU): Proposed language codifies changes to ADU law since the City's ADU regulations were adopted in January 2021. Senate Bill (SB) 897 and AB 2221 increased the allowable heights for ADUs. A Director's Policy addressing ADU heights was issued on December 22, 2022. The proposed amendments would codify the Director's Policy into the SCMC for compliance with current ADU law. In addition, the proposed language codifies the requirements of AB 1211, which increased the number of detached ADUs permitted on multifamily properties from two ADUs to eight, and also prohibits the City from requiring the replacement of any parking that is demolished to construct an ADU. Thrift Stores: Proposed language codifies the requirements of AB 2632, which requires that thrift stores be permitted in the same manner as non -thrift retail stores. The proposed amendments would also create standards for donation collections, if proposed, at thrift stores. SB 35 Projects: Proposed language addresses AB 2668, which requires that projects meeting the provisions of SB 35 cannot be subjected to conditional use permits and other non -legislative discretionary permits. Applicable projects would be certain multifamily developments that meet all the requirements of Government Code Section 65913.4, including providing a minimum of ten -percent affordable units, paying prevailing wage, and usage of a skilled and trained workforce. Amendments to streamline processes and enhance customer service Page 3 Packet Pg. 97 O Jobs Creation Overlay Zone (JCOZ): The current SCMC establishes a 21-day appeal period for JCOZ projects, whether they are approved at the Director level or at public hearing. This appeal period is longer than the standard 15-day appeal period for projects approved or denied at a public hearing. Proposed language would adjust the appeal period only for JCOZ projects that are approved or denied at public hearing in order to match the standard 15-day appeal period. Architectural Enhancement: Currently, commercial, industrial, and higher density residential zones allow for additional height for architectural enhancement. Proposed language would make the Mixed Use Corridor zone, LCP, and SCP consistent with these zones, in order to permit enhanced architecture for aesthetic and screening purposes. Mobile Pickup for Retail Businesses: Proposed language would establish clear development standards for mobile pickup improvements for retail businesses. Mobile pickup is an increasing trend for retail uses and currently requires a development review entitlement to implement associated site improvements. These standards would include architectural consistency, lighting, and parking stall size, and would allow for over-the-counter reviews for projects not altering the site plan. Golf Cart and Low -Speed Vehicle Sales and Services: The zoning regulations do not have a definition or use category for sales and services of golf carts and other low -speed vehicles. Proposed language would incorporate this use into the SCMC by expanding and renaming the Motorcycle Sales and Service land use category to encompass other similar vehicles, including golf carts and other low -speed vehicles. The allowable zones and permit requirements for this category would not change. Drive -Through Queuing: All new drive -through uses are required to prepare a queuing analysis demonstrating that sufficient vehicle stacking is provided. Proposed language would clarify that local examples of the same business, where available, or a comparable local business must be used in preparation of a queuing analysis. Residential Energy Storage: Current regulations do not contemplate backup batteries or other forms of small-scale energy storage for residential properties. Proposed language would establish the setbacks and planning requirements for residential energy storage (e.g., backup battery systems). These would be regulated in the same manner as other wall -mounted or freestanding equipment (i.e. water heaters, air conditioners, heaters, etc.). Residential Accessory Structures: Accessory structures for residential properties include buildings such as pool houses, barns, and detached garages. Current regulations govern the number of accessory structures permitted -by -right based on the zoning designation, with additional structures permissible with the approval of a Minor Use Permit (MUP). Proposed language would revise the number of residential accessory structures permitted -by -right (without an MUP) to be based on lot size instead of zoning designation. This would not alter the number of ADUs permitted on a property, or unenclosed structures, such as patio covers. Public Nuisance Enforcement: The City seeks to expand its ability to enforce public nuisance Page 4 Packet Pg. 98 O complaints against certain entities, such as vacation rental companies. Proposed language would broaden the parties that can be held accountable for public nuisances to include such as vacation rental companies. Amendments for consistency and clarity Reference Corrections: References regarding the previous SCMC changes regarding existing Ridgeline Preservation and commercial gating are currently missing from the SCMC. Proposed language would incorporate the appropriate references for consistency with prior changes. These amendments would not change the existing processes for these permits. The proposed language would also correct a typo in the land use chart of the OTNSP regarding Personal Service uses. General Plan Consistency Determination: Proposed language would clarify that the City Council will make any necessary determinations that a proposed acquisition is consistent with the General Plan in compliance with Government Code Section 65402. Multifamily Private and Shared Recreation Space: Proposed language would update references in the OTNSP, LCP, and SCP. The plans currently refer to "open space" when discussing private patios and balconies, as well as amenities such as gyms, pools, and other amenity space. These plans would be updated to reference "private outdoor space" and "shared recreation facilities" to be consistent with the SCMC. Affordable Housing and Density Bonus Charts: State legislation has superseded the Affordable Housing and Density Bonus land use charts in the code. Proposed language would eliminate these use charts as they are no longer applicable. Commercial Auto Storage: Proposed language would clarify that commercial auto storage is usually, but not always, for a fee. These amendments would provide clarity for Code Enforcement's regulation of vehicle storage. This would be consistent with storage of other vehicle types (e.g. trucks, boats and campers, and heavy equipment) in the SCMC. Residential Clarification: Proposed language would clarify development standards that apply to emergency generators and detached patio covers on residential zoned property. These residential improvements would be treated in the same manner as other equipment/structures; no existing setback standards would be changed. Entitlement Summary A zoning code amendment (UDC24-001) is required to update the SCMC, LCP, and SCP and a specific plan amendment (SP24-001) is required to update the OTNSP. These entitlements are subject to the zoning code amendment and specific plan amendment processes listed in UDC Section 17.28.110(H) and 17.28.120(I). Page 5 Packet Pg. 99 O ANALYSIS Findings Section 17.06.130 of the SCMC requires the following general findings be made for the proposed project: 1. That the proposal is consistent with the General Plan; The project does not include any new development and is consistent with the General Plan's objectives, policies, and procedures. The proposed amendments will assist the City in implementing the General Plan by creating consistent planning documents and updating SCMC sections.

The proposed amendments are allowed within the applicable underlying zone and complies with all other applicable provisions of this code; The proposed amendments do not require a consistency finding with the existing code because the project would amend the SCMC, OTNSP, LCP, and SCP in general. While nc consistency finding is required, the proposed amendments would not change development densities or the City's zoning map, and the changes are considered to be minor in nature, making the amendments consistent with these aspects of the SCMC. 3. The proposed amendments will not endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare, or be materially detrimental or injurious to the improvements, persons, property, or uses in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located; and, Nothing contained in the proposed amendments would endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public. The proposed amendments consist of minor updates to the SCMC, OTNSP, LCP, and SCP, and are intended to update these planning documents to reflect recent laws, development trends, and to clarify portions of the code where there are inconsistencies or ambiguity. 4. The proposed amendments are physically suitable for the site. The factors related to the proposal's physical suitability for the site shall include, but are not limited to, the following: a. The design, location, shape, size, and operating characteristics are suitable for the proposed use; b. The highways or streets that provide access to the site are of suff cient width and are improved as necessary to carry the kind and quantity of traffic such proposal would generate; c. Public protection services (e.g., Fire protection, Sheriprotection, etc.) are readily available; and d. The provision of utilities (e.g., potable water, schools, solid waste collection and disposal, Page 6 Packet Pg. 100 O storm drainage, wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal, etc.) is adequate to serve the site. The proposed amendments do not include development of any specific site, and would amend the SCMC in general. The amendments are minor and do not change the scope or goals of the various planning documents or the City's General Plan. No development is proposed or would be approved by the amendments, and any future development that may occur under the revised amendments would require development review and environmental analysis at the time the projects are submitted. The City currently receives adequate service from the Los Angeles County Fire Department and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The project area is likewise served by all applicable utilities. Nothing in the proposed amendments would increase the need for fire or police protection services, or increase demand for utilities. Section 17.28.120 of the SCMC requires the following additional findings be made for the proposed project: 1. Principles and Standards for Amendments. The Council shall approve an amendment other than a zone change only after all of the following required findings can be substantiated: a.

Policy LU 4.3.4: Promote business development that upgrades and revitalizes older commercial corridors, including Lyons Avenue, Railroad Avenue/Newhall Avenue, Main Street and Soledad Canyon Road, in a manner that reflects each area's character, architecture, and history. The proposed amendments are consistent with the objectives and policies listed above because they would ensure the City remains compliant with current legislation, and provide planning documents that are internally consistent, easier to read, and that provide clearer direction than the existing code documents provide. The proposed amendments support the character of the City's neighborhoods and promote economic opportunities by providing development standards that are easier to understand and that provide a clear review process. c. Approval ofthe amendment will be in the interest ofpublic health, convenience, safety, and general welfare and in conformity with good zoning practice; The proposed amendments would support the public health, convenience, safety, and general welfare of the community, and are in conformity with good zoning practice because the proposed amendments would standardize planning language and development standards across the planning documents, updating certain sections to reflect new legislation, clarify certain code sections for readability and ease of use, and add new land use categories that support existing and future businesses. d.

Parking Within One -Half Mile of a Major Transit Stop. Except as otherwise provided, parking standards established by this code for developments within one-half mile of a major transit stop may not be imposed. Parking standards within one-half mile of a major transit stop may, however, be imposed when the approving authority finds upon substantial evidence that failing to impose such parking standards would substantially impact (a) the City's ability to meet its share of housing for low and very low income households as established by the Housing Element of the General Plan, (b) the City's ability to meet special housing needs for the elderly or persons with disabilities, or (c) existing residential or commercial parking within one-half mile of the Project site. A request for a reduction in the number of parking spaces required by this code and all specific and corridor plans identified in this code is subject to the following requirements: a. Parking Demand Study. To ensure that waiving the minimum parking standards in a development would not substantially negatively impact existing residential or commercial parking within one-half mile of a project, anyprojectseeking to avoid the parking standards of this code in accordance with California law must provide a parking demand study for the proposed project, conducted by a licensed traffic engineer or other traffic professional acceptable to the Director. The parking demand study must demonstrate that there is not a negative impact and identify the amount of on -site parking required to prevent a negative impact. The parking demand study is a requirement of the City's entitlement submittal checklists, and a project application may not be deemed complete until a satisfactory parking demand study is submitted to and approved by the Director of Community Development. a a) 0 U a .2 0 N O N N a� E a� U U N Q x w c m E Q Packet Pg. 113 b.
