Because the noise ordinance impacts zoning entitlements, staff thought it would be a good idea to bring it to the Commission for input Community Development Director Caldwell noted that the City Council recently amended Chapter 15.05 of the Rio Dell Municipal Code (RDMC) Construction Codes" to establish construction activity noise regulations.

She pointed out that a well-done ordinance is a good thing for a community; a badly done ordinance is a weapon and can be used against people indiscriminately.

She pointed out that older homes have walls that are hollow and are essentially a speaker box SO people walking by her home could likely hear her speakinginside her home. She encouraged the Commission to look closely before adopting Noise Regulations and noted that the city of Eureka has a bare-bones ordinance that mainly addresses noise levels after 10:00 p.m. She strongly encouraged the adoption of a well-written ordinance that is enforceable with enough language around it to protect tenants from potentially She also objected to the inspection provision which stated that it is unlawful for any person to refuse or restrict entry, and free access to any part of a premise, or refuse inspection, testing, or noise measurement of any activity, device, facility, or process, or the She commented that a vacuum cleaner measures approximately 70 decibels which means that a person is only allowed to vacuum for 3 minutes and would be the same for mowing a losing housing.

Amendment PC October 2024 -8- Discussion The Rio Dell Municipal Code (RDMC). Zoning Regulations for the principal zones often refer to other zoning designations to determine allowed uses. As an example, the Industrial Commercial (IC): zone refers to the Industrial (I) zone which in turn refers to compatible commercial uses described in the community commercial land use designation, which also includes conditionally permitted uses in the Neighborhood Commercial zone without the need to obtain a use permit. See below: 17.20.110 Industrial commercial or IC: zone. The purpose oft the industrial commercial zone is to provide for industrial and commercial uses. (1) Principal permitted uses, including, but not limited to: (a). Industrial uses as described in the industrial land use designation and compatible commercial uses described in the community commercial land use designation; (b) Public facility needs such as a wastewater treatment plant; (c). Motor vehicle repair, maintenance and fueling; and (d) Telecommunications facilities and manulacturing. Copies of the Industrial Commercial (IC), Industrial (1), Community Commercial (CC), and Neighborhood Commercial (NC) development standards are included in Attachment 1. Itis not only cumbersome and confusing for staff but also members of the public to have to refer to other designations to determine the allowed uses. Staff intends to amend the land use designations that refer to other land use designations sO that one will not have to refer to other land use designations to determine allowed uses. We are starting with the Industrial Commercial (IC) designation. Industrial Commercial Text Amendment PC October 2024 -9- Some of the Planning Commissioners may remember that we worked a land use matrix years ago, identifying what we believed were appropriate land uses for the various zoning designations. This matrix was used to develop the principally and conditionally permitted use type. A copy of the matrix is included in Attachment 2. Attachment 3 identifies those uses identified in the matrix for the Industrial Commercial designation. Those use types in blue and italicized are the current allowed uses int the Industrial Commercial designation. Attachment 3 also identifies the definitions for the various use types. Zone Reclassification Required Finding: 1. The proposed amendment is consistent and compatible with the General Plan and any implementation programs that may be affected. Inc order to be consistent with the Land Use Element of the General Plan, the Industrial Commercial designation must be amended toi incorporate the changes to the zoning designation. Below is a copy of the existing Land Use Element language for the Industrial Commercial designation. Accordingly, Table 1-2, the "Permitted Uses" needs to be amended. Designation Industrial Permitted Uses Minimum Lot Size 20,000 square feet el Industrial Uses as described in the Industrial Land Use Community Commercial Land Use Designation. Motor vehicle repair, maintenance and fueling. - Telecommunications facilities and manufacturing. Commercial (IC) Designation and compatible commercial uses described in the eF Public Facility needs. - Limited lodging facilities. eL Limited childcare facilities. FAR1.5 on 20% and 0.35 on 80%. Open Space 10% Density/FAR* Building Height Maximum 4 stories or 65 feet Attachment 4 identifies the amended Table 1-2. With the recommended amendment to the Land Use Element oft the General Plan, the recommended amendments are consistent and compatible with the General Plan. Industrial Commercial Text Amendment. PC October. 2024 -10- 2. The proposed amendments have been processed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). CEQA: There are two areas within the City that are designated Industrial Commercial, the Humboldt Rio Dell Business Park (former Eel River Sawmill site) and ai few parcels on Eeloa Avenue. Fort the most part the Humboldt Rio Dell Business Park (former Eel River Sawmill site) is entirely paved. There is a seasonal watercourse at the south end oft the Park, but any development is subject to the City's Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area (ESHA) regulations, Section 17.30.120 of the Rio Del Municipal Code (RDMC). Of course, the conditionally permitted uses will be evaluated for CEQA compliance at the time an application is submitted. Based on the proposed uses and the environmental setting of those lands designated Industrial Commercial, staff believes the text amendment is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), in that staff believes that the principally permitted uses on lands designated Industrial Commercial will not have a significant adverse effect to the environment. Attachments: Attachment 1: Copies oft the Industrial Commercial (IC), Industrial (), Community Commercial (CC), and Neighborhood Commercial development standards. Attachment 2: Planning Commission approved Land Use Matrix for the various land use designations int the City. Attachment 3: Recommended Industrial Commercial land use types and definitions. Attachment 4: Proposed amendments to Table 1-2 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan. Attachment 5: Resolution No. PC 181-2024 recommending that the City Council amend the allowed uses int the Industrial Commercial land use designation.
