REGULAR AGENDA ACTION TEMSIRECOWMEMDATOAS  Agenda Item No. 10.1: Discussion and Possible Direction on Amendments to Title 23 of the Elk Grove Municipal Code Relative to Large Format Retail Establishments  RECOMMENDATION: Establishments.  Receive the staff report and provide direction on possible amendments to Title 23 of the Elk Grove Municipal Code (the Zoning Code) relative to Large Format Retail With the aid of an overhead presentation (filed), Taro Echiburu, Planning Director, provided an overview of the staff report and recommendation. In July 2007 the Council adopted Ordinance No. 23-2007 creating three categories of retail land uses for retail discount store, retail discount superstore and large format superstore. The creation of these categories posed permit requirements, preparation of special analysis and reports (community impact, urban decay, crime report, and local economy/ / community financial impact studies), and banned certain retail types. Definitions for retail discount superstore and large format superstore were primarily delineated by square footage, whereas in the case of retail discount store there was no size limitation, but there was a limit requiring less than 10% of the total square footage of the facility could be dedicated tot the sale of non-taxable goods. The remaining "retail" related definitions existed in the Zoning Code at that time and were not significantly changed. In regards to permitting, the focus of these uses was intended for General Commercial zoning districts, they  Elk Grove City Council Regular Meeting, July 13,2011 Page 4of10    were disallowed in particular zoning districts, large format discount superstores were not allowed, and that generally, within commercial districts, Conditional Use Permits (CUP) were required. Starting in 2009 the possibility of restricting the hours of operation for commercial businesses by City ordinance was discussed, but the Planning Commission and City Council found that the CUP mechanism was sufficient to address such Through the 2011 amendments to the Zoning Code, staff found the 2007 ordinance addressed stores that were over 100,000 square feet, but did not provide clear direction for stores less than 100,000 square feet, and staff identified relationships to other allowed uses, such as grocery stores. Staff utilized the 2007 definitions as a starting point to bring further clarification to categorize the smaller sized stores, creating a size limitation for retail discount stores of 99,999 square feet or less, and for the definition of grocery store, to specify size as less than 100,000 square feet, with greater than 10% of non-taxable goods. Regarding the process, in March 2010 the Planning Commission received a memo explaining the changes that were to be discussed in the upcoming review to amend the Zoning Code, and identified the definition changes to further categorize retail establishments. In April 2010 an initial public workshop was held, which was where the language was first introduced, and subsequently available for public review as the Zoning Code amendments were presented at additional workshops, Planning Commission, and City Council review. Mr. Echiburu provided comparison of existing grocery stores surveyed by staff, noting the average non-taxable goods as percentage of floor area for these existing grocery stores was between 65 - 80%, and total existing grocery store size saw the smallest at 26,000 square feet, the largest at 65,000 square feet, with an average size of 45,000 square feet. He reviewed large retail store sizes in Elk Grove and their related zoning, including existing stores and proposed stores with vested approvals. He observed that several national retailers have different product types, regarding the stores they build, often comprising different combinations of square footage and non-taxable goods in order to comply within different jurisdictions' land use categories, making it difficult for any one jurisdiction to capture every category of retailer type for proposed regulation. The amendments to date would apply to specific plans and specific planning areas going forward, however, they would not apply to projects with previously approved, vested rights, through a development agreement, such as Lent Ranch. Mr. Echiburu posed an option as a starting point for discussion, and that for retail discount store, to raise the non-taxable limit from less than 10% to less than 50% to capture all the large retail stores with a significant amount of non-taxable goods, and at the same time, change the grocery store definition up to 50% or more of non-taxable goods for by-right permitting in a commercial area. He noted the timeline to present changes to Planning Commission Council Member Hume requested staff evaluate situations where a zero offering of non- taxable goods at a superstore could possibly bypass land use regulations, requesting the size of the store be the only determiner to restrict superstores. He requested further evaluation on the types of products categorized as non-taxable in the State of California, citing examples of non-food products that also were categorized as non-  restrictions.  would be August 4, with a return for Council consideration August 24.  taxable.  Elk Grove City Council Regular Meeting, July 13,2011 Page 5of1 10    PUBLIC COMMENT:  Peter Gaffney spoke in support of revising the ordinance. He cited a 2010 City staff report regarding the Title 23 amendments that noted identifying candidate uses to allow by-right, rather than requiring a use permit. He did not believe the regulatory framework ofaz zoning code should be used for provision of economic development incentives, and felt a zoning code should protect compatibility of uses and creation of appropriate business opportunities, which was best served by preserving the right to impose Linda Hargan supported maintaining oversight over land use, and clarifying the recently created by-right uses to appropriately categorize grocery stores and supermarkets. She believed it was unreasonable to define a grocery store as having only 10% or more of the products dediçated to non-taxable goods. She inquired if a citywide hours of operation ordinance would be reconsidered, she questioned if any of the retail categories should remain by-right, and believed any tenant in an establishment greater Harold Die agreed with the comments of previous speakers during public comment. Planning Director Echiburû summarized Council direction to utilize a 50% or more of non-taxable goods for by-right permitting in a commercial area for grocery stores, and to review the collective definitions for retail uses to further examine use of percentages of types of goods in definitions. He observed that, as new detinitions would require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), no further direction was given to revisit requirements for additional studies to be submitted by applicants for retail uses, nor to return any further discussion to limit hours of operation citywide, as such conditions could be included Agenda Item No. 10.2: Consider resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an Economic Incentive Agreement with Sacramento Motor Cars, LLC d.b.a. Mazda of Elk Grove for a permanent Mazda dealership in the amount of $150,000 and a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Fee Deferral Agreement with exceptions to  conditions.  than 50,000 square feet should require negative impact review studies.  under the individual CUP for a project.  the standard agreement RECOMMENDATION:  1) Adopt resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an Economic Incentive Agreement with Sacramento Motor Cars, LLC d.b.a. Mazda of Elk Grove in the 2) Adopt resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Fee Deferral Agreement Heather Ross, Economic Development Coordinator, provided an overview of the staff report and recommendation. In May 2009 Mazda of Elk Grove opened a dealership ina temporary modular building, and the Mazda Motor Corporation had required the dealership to have a permanent facility by December 2010. Mazda of Elk Grove had been granted two extensions, and now have a deadline to have a permanent facility by early 2012, without a permanent facility in place by that date, Mazda of Elk Grove risked losing its franchise. Mazda of Elk Grove applied under the City's economic  amount of $150,000; and with alternate terms.  Elk Grove City Council Regular Meeting, July 13,2011 Page 6of10    development incentives program for two items: 1) an incentive in the amount of $150,000 to be used towards advertising and grand opening expenses to promote the new permanent facility, and 2) a fee deferral agreement with terms that lock in development fees that are due at current day rates. Under the existing fee deferral program, fees could be adjusted based on when payment was made on the fees, either up or down. If Mazda's request to lock in fees was approved, and fees were to increase, Mazda of Elk Grove would not be subject to those increased rates, creating a deficit in the fee fund which would have to be covered by other fund sources. Since opening, Mazda of Elk Grove has yielded an average $100,000 annually in tax revenue for the City, and it is anticipated that with a permanent facility sales would increase generating up to an additional $50,000 in sales tax revenue, for a potential total of up to  $150,000 per year annually. PUBLIC COMMENT:  John Driebe noted opening his first dealership in Elk Grove August 2003, adding Infinity in 2004 and the recent prospect of Mazda. He noted a preference to maintain a temporary facility, but that option was not available, and the incentive agreement and fee deferral would aid in attaining the permanent facility. He noted Fisker, maker of a hybrid electric luxury car, would be added to the Infinity dealership in the next few Motion: M/S Cooper/Hume to adopt Resolution No. 2011-140 authorizing the City Manager to execute an Economic Incentive Agreement with Sacramento Motor Cars, LLC d.b.a.

The motion passed by the Motion: M/S Davis/Detrick to adopt Resolution No. 2011-141 authorizing the City Manager to execute a Fee Deferral Agreement with alternate terms.

Elk Grove City Council Regular Meeting, July 13,2011 Page7of10    With the aid of an overhead presentation (filed), Jason Lindgren, City Clerk, provided an overview of the staff report and recommendation. The process for redistricting of the council residency districts was at the conclusion of the work product completed by the contractor Redistricting Partners, with two map plans provided for final consideration as directed at the June 8 regular meeting. Map Plans 1 and 9 were selected for finalization, in which legal descriptions of the boundaries of the individual districts was conducted, feedback to synchronize the boundaries with Sacramento County elections processes was received, and boundaries and demographics under City and County Geographic Information Systems (GIS) were verified. Action tonight would select a final map between Map Plans 1 and 9. The second part of the discussion was to select the preferred administrative process to finalize the map. Two State of California statutes, one from the Elections Code, and one from the Government Code, addressed the process of how jurisdictions could redraw district mas. Staff had commenced the process based on the requirements of the Government Code, but through the redistricting process, conditions created with recently approved measures, and timing with the release of census data in March 2011, presented an alternative process to Regarding final map selection, district numbers were assigned 1 -4 4, from left to right, effectively switching the numbering of the current districts 2 and 4. Historically, district numbers were based off the incorporation election, and the candidate that received the most votes was assigned District 1, the second most District 2, etc. For the two maps evidence was provided that the district composition, total population deviation under 6%, demographic dispersion, and consideration of communities of interest would meet requirements of the Voting Rights Act. Mr. Lindgren compared differences between Map Plans 1 and 9. He noted that, from the June 8 meeting regarding Map Plan 9, the one quadrant between Districts 1 and 3, containing a deviating boundary line, was caused by the locations of a power transmission line and a series of parks within that segment. Regarding Map Plan 9, Sacramento County requested homes from District 3, adjacent to one of the parks, be moved to District 1, to maintain those homes in their traditional voting precinct / polling place location. Also in relation to Map Plan 9, City GIS staff requested a correction to the boundaries created by the power transmission lines as the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG), in partnership with Sacramento County, had performed local adjustment corrections to the federal census data to reflect current, local geographic features. Mr. Lindgren noted the suggested changes, both by Sacramento County and the correction requested by City GIS staff, would shift a few hundred residents between Districts 1 and 3, and would reduce the percentage Regarding the administrative process, in considering the two options the primary concern was the City's exposure to risk of legal challenge of a final map selection. For any district map, a voter had the ability to challenge the map on various aspects to have the map overturned. If at any point a map was rejected, the end result would be that all elections for all seats would be qualified and decided on at-large. The office of the directly elected mayor would not be changed in any way, but council residency districts would no longer apply (the residency requirement would be within the City limits). The Elections Code process related to redistricting, and the Government Code addressed for when a city at any point wanted to change its governing structure, whether  finalize the map under the Elections Code.  deviation between the two districts.

As the City was in process of both redistricting, and had changed its governing structure upon passage of Measure K in November 2010 (providing for the office of the directly elected mayor and subsequent four council residency districts), they City had options on how to finalize a map. Following the Elections Code, the requirements had been met to select and approve a final map by resolution tonight. Following the Government Code, additional steps would be required to introduce an ordinance, provide further review by the Planning Commission, and to place a proposed map on a ballot for approval by voters. Having an election to approve the map reduced the avenues of potential legal challenge, but had a requisite cost to consolidate a special election prior to the regularly budgeted Council Member Davis noted that if funds were spent to hold a special election to approve a map, and the voters did not approve the map, elections for council member districts would occur at-large, the same result if a map were challenged and rejected.  general municipal election.  PUBLIC COMMENT: None.  Vice Mayor Cooper voiced support for Map Plan 9, with inclusion of the amendments requested by Sacramento County and City staff. Regarding process, he did not see a reason to take the final map to a vote as the public had been involved throughout the process, from the vote creating the office of the directly elected mayor and four council member residency districts, to generating and reviewing the maps throughout the Council Member Hume agreed that voters already voiced approval of the directly elected mayor and four districts, the only element not voted on was a specific map. He felt the districts presented in both maps were logically constructed. Though Map Plan 1 was the preferred map from public comment provided June 8, he noted there was no representation advocating for that map tonight, and he noted his preference for Map Plan 9 as it grouped the two newest growth areas, East Franklin and Laguna Ridge, together. Mr. Hume believed the district numbers should not be reassigned, but remain Council Member Davis observed that every map considered was submitted by a member of the community, with not a single one by City staff or Redistricting Partners. He felt extensive outreach was conducted throughout the process and the use of the Election Code option was preferred, also saving costs from not requiring an additional special election. Mr. Davis agreed with continuing district numbering to not require swapping of assignment between Districts 2 and 4, and voiced preference for Map Plan Mayor Detrick believed the voters spoke their preference when voting on the measure for the directly elected mayor and four council member residency districts.
