The final approved CIP identifies capital project budgets and is a planning tool that provides a seven-year forecast of future investments in the City’s infrastructure. The FY 21-22 includes project allocations totaling $57 million. The FY 21-22 CIP includes key funding sources shown below:  Measure M2 $5,738,915  Water and Sewer (including facilities)$29,647,000  Area fees $1,050,000  Gas Tax $1,515,000  A & D Funds/Capital Outlay $3,192,200  Miscellaneous Grants $14,018,220 The CIP is developed in accordance with the City’s purpose statement to provide quality service that enhances the safety, livability, and prosperity of our community. The proposed FY 21-22 CIP focuses on implementation of rehabilitation for arterial streets and deferred maintenance programs for residential streets in order to maximize the City’s previous investments in these facilities. Other capital enhancements are provided for community enjoyment of recreation and open space, including several park facility improvements and installation of splash pads citywide. Lastly, the proposed CIP allocates over $29 million in water and sewer enterprise funds to invest in the safety and reliable delivery of over 35 million gallons of water per day on average. The planned sewer and facility improvements will enhance and maintain the collection and conveyance of all 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 1 –1 CIP 2021-2022 May 24, 2021 Page 2 1 7 3 7 wastewater to the region’s treatment plant in a sanitary and environmentally conscious manner. In the selection of projects for the CIP, the primary goal is to ensure consistency with the Strategic Plan, the Circulation Element of the City’s General Plan, and use other elements including Conservation, Growth Management, Housing, Land Use, Open Space, Public Facilities and Public Safety. The City’s General Plan, having been prepared in accordance with the regional Master Plan of Arterial Highways, provides the basis for compliance with the Measure M2 funding eligibility requirements, as well as funding for other infrastructure improvements. Overall, The FY 21-22 Capital Improvement Program identifies $57 million in capital improvements citywide. Continuing planning efforts to ensure appropriate investment in our infrastructure and facilities, the Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program includes project allocations totaling over $80 million through Fiscal Year 2027-2028. The proposed Seven-Year CIP aims to preserve and improve basic infrastructure, maximizing the useful life of capital investments, identifies future needs, and improves financial planning. The Capital Improvement Program will be presented to the City Council on June 1, 2021 and adopted at a public hearing on June 15, 2021. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the recommended action is Categorically Exempt from CEQA per section 15306. This exemption consists of basic data collection, research and resource evaluation activities which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource. These may be strictly for information gathering purposes, or as part of a study leading to an action which a public agency has not yet approved, adopted, or funded.

ATP is a federal and state funded program which provides construction and educational grants for projects that increase the proportion of biking and walking, increase traffic safety and mobility for pedestrians and cyclists, and reduce childhood obesity. ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM SB-1 AUGMENTATION (ATP SB-1) – Most recently, Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, enacted by Senate Bill 1 (Chapter 20, Statutes of 2017) added approximately $100 million per year in available funds for the ATP. This will nearly double the amount of available funds for the Active Transportation Program. CELL TOWER REVENUE – The City has 20 cell towers in city park sites. The revenue generated from the cell sites originally was budgeted for park improvements (repair work) in the park impacted by the cell tower. A portion of the revenue is transferred to the general fund. The remaining portion is used for the original intent to make park repairs in the park that are impacted by the cell tower. CIVIC CTR - CAPITAL PROJECT (CIVIC CTR - CAPITAL PROJ) – Civic Center Funds are generated through parking revenue from the Civic Center parking lots and structures (i.e., Super Block Parking Lot, O.C. Courthouse/Library Parking Structure, and the Stadium Parking Structure). These funds pay for Civic Center parking structure maintenance, and Civic Center Special Projects. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM (CDBG) – The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 returns income tax funds to cities and counties to develop viable urban communities, primarily for the benefit of low and moderate income people. This U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development program gives priority to activities that help to eliminate blight, with emphasis on residential areas. CDBG projects are carried out by several operating departments with the City and by sub-agents. Public hearings are held to plan projects for the next fiscal year. The selected projects are recommended by citizens, commissioners, and staff. GAS TAX – Gas Tax funds are derived from the Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax (HUTA or Highway Users Tax Account). Motorists pay a tax for fuel consumption. It is apportioned to cities according to population and can only be utilized in the maintenance and construction of the street system. Examples of programs funded by Gas Tax include Roadway Markings/Signs, as well as Traffic Signals, Street Maintenance and Street Rehabilitation. 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 1 –10 - 2 - DESCRIPTION OF FUNDING SOURCES GENERAL FUND – The general fund is supported by revenue received from sales tax, property tax, utility tax and other miscellaneous tax revenue which provides funding for City operations. MEASURE M2 COMPETITIVE STREET: ACE (MM2: ACE)– Complements freeway improvement initiatives underway and supplements development mitigation opportunities on arterials throughout the Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH). MEASURE M2 FAIRSHARE – This local fair share program returns a portion of the Measure M2 Streets and Roads revenues to the cities and the County of Orange once specific program requirements are met. Disbursement amounts are based on a formula that accounts for population, street mileage, and sales tax collected. OCTA OC STREETCAR FUNDS (OCTA OC STREETCAR FUNDS) – Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) funds allocated for the OC Streetcar Project. PARK ACQUISITION & DEVELOPMENT FUNDS (A & D) – Any person adding a net increase in residential units or converting apartments to condominiums in the City is charged a Residential Development Fee. These fees are used for the acquisition, construction, and renovation of park and recreation facilities. The City Council has established a standard of two acres of park and recreation facilities per one thousand (1,000) population in the City. Fees vary depending on the type and number of residential units. Fees are paid at the time of application for a building permit, and no building permit is issued until such fees are paid. SEWER CONNECTION PROJECTS (SEWER CONNECTION PROJECTS)– The Sewer Connection Fee is collected from various types of development based on the number of fixture units and the cost per lineal foot of construction of a main sewer line. All monies received by the City as a fee for connection to the public sewers are deposited into the Sewer Connection Fee Fund and used for the construction of sewers. Fees are paid at the time of application for a sewer connection permit, and no connection permit is issued until such fees are paid. TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT AREA FUND (AREA FEES) – Ordinance NS-1651, adopted in 1982, established the concept of transportation improvement areas. In addition, the City has executed “Joint Exercise of Powers Agreements” with the cities of Tustin and Orange specifically covering areas adjacent to those cities. These Area Fees are charged to new development to offset the cost of transportation system improvements within that area. The City has six transportation improvement areas. The fee charged is based on the square footage of the proposed development. The fee may be changed from time to time by resolution of the City Council. Fees are paid at the time of application for a building permit. 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 1 –11 - 3 - DESCRIPTION OF FUNDING SOURCES WATER CAPITAL FUND – The City charges a user fee for providing water services to residents and businesses in Santa Ana. All monies are used to fund operating and maintenance costs, as well as capital improvements of the City’s water system. Approximately 10% to 20% of these funds are allocated to water system capital improvements each year. 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 1 –12 PROJECTSOTHER CDBG CAPITAL OUTLAYWATER CAPITALSEWER AREA FEES A & D FUNDSMEASURE M2GAS TAX TOTALI.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Jaime Hales, representing Avatar Coffee Roasters, on behalf of PR/Broadstone Heritage I, LLC (Property Owner), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2021-07 to allow the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption (Type 41- Beer and Wine) at a new establishment located at 1951 East Dyer Road, Unit B. Pursuant to Section 41-196 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), establishments wishing to sell alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption require approval of a CUP. Staff is recommending approval of the applicant’s request due to the site being developed as a mixed-use commercial/residential building. The multi-use nature of the site ensures an environment where commercial uses are a compatible use supported by the residential units surrounding it. DISCUSSION Project Description The applicant is proposing to occupy 2,211 square feet of tenant space in a mixed-used commercial/residential development. The subject unit will undergo interior tenant improvements, including a new kitchen facility, tasting room, and lounge area. Tenant improvement plans have not been submitted to the Building Division for the proposed work. However, once the tenant improvements are finalized, the establishment will accommodate 40 patrons within its dining area and operate Monday through Sunday between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. The establishment will sale coffee, coffee drinks, tea, beer, wine, salads, sandwiches, and other baked goods. The sale, service, and consumption of alcoholic beverages is proposed between the hours of the 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. (Monday – Saturday). All alcoholic beverages will be stored within the restaurant’s kitchen area, which will be less than eight square feet. The alcohol storage 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 2 –1 CUP No. 2021-07 – Avatar Coffee Roasters May 24, 2021 Page 2 7 0 1 and display area will make up less than five percent of the total restaurant floors area as required by the SAMC. Table 1: Project and Location Information Table 2: Operational Standards Standards Permissible by SAMC Provided Eating Establishment Type Bona-Fide Bona-Fide Hours of Operation for ABC Sales 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Window Display 25% of Window Coverage Complies Alcohol Storage and Display 5% of G.F.A 0.8% of G.F.A Exterior Telephone Prohibited None Project Background The subject site is more commonly known as The Heritage and contains three mixed used commercial/residential buildings, with 1,221 residential units, 12,900 square feet of retail space, 5,500 square feet of restaurant space, 56,000 square feet of office space, and onsite parking structures. The existing residential component is composed of studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units. The subject tenant space is proposed to be one of two commercial spaces within three commercial shells that have yet to be developed with identified tenants. Avatar Coffee Roasters, a Montclair-based business, was founded in 2019. The company specializes in high-end coffee for the consumer while giving back a portion of sales to those in need. The company is proposing to expand their roasting facility with an additional location in Santa Ana that will focus on the education of home brewing Item Information Project Address and Council Ward 1951 E Dyer Road, Unit B – Ward 1 Nearest Intersection Dyer Road and Red Hill Avenue General Plan Designation District Center (DC) Zoning Designation Specific Development No. 88 (SD-88) North Warehouse and Manufacturing East Hotel and City of Tustin South Warehouse and Manufacturing Surrounding Land Uses West Warehouse and Manufacturing Property Size 18.84 acres Existing Site Development The subject site contains an existing mixed used development Unit Size 2,211 square feet Use Permissions Allowed with a conditional use permit (CUP) Uses Section 41-412 SAMCZoning Code Sections Affected Operational Standards Section 41-196(g) SAMC 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 2 –2 CUP No. 2021-07 – Avatar Coffee Roasters May 24, 2021 Page 3 7 0 1 processes. This is currently the first tenant to utilize the commercial/restaurant component of Unit B located at The Heritage. No entertainment is proposed at this time. Should the applicant seek to provide onsite entertainment, approval of a separate entertainment permit will be required. Project Analysis CUP requests are governed by Section 41-638 of the SAMC. CUPs may be granted when it can be shown that the proposed project will not adversely impact the community. If these findings can be made, then it is appropriate to grant the CUP. Conversely, the inability to make these findings would result in a denial. The purpose of regulating establishments that sell alcoholic beverages is to set forth operating practices and procedures and to minimize impacts to surrounding areas. Staff has reviewed the applicant’s request to expand the sale and consumption of sell beer and wine and has determined that the proposed CUP will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of the community. The proposed sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption will provide an ancillary service to the establishment’s customers by allowing them the ability to purchase a variety of alcoholic beverages with their meal and will allow Avatar Coffee Roasters to be economically viable and compete with nearby full-service establishments that offer that same services to their patrons. The proposed sale of alcoholic beverages at the establishment is consistent with other coffee and juice bars in the region that sell similar products. In Santa Ana, two CUPs (Nos. 2017-27 and 2017-28) were approved in 2017 for a juice bar and coffee establishment, respectively, at the Nineteen01 development to allow the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption. Similarly, a Starbucks location in Rancho Santa Margarita was approved to offer alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption in 2012. In addition, the operational standards applicable to an ABC license will mitigate any potential impacts created by the use and will ensure that the use will not negatively affect the surrounding community. The subject unit is part of The Heritage mixed-use community, which was entitled to provide a highly-amentized community with “live, work, and play” options all onsite through residential, office, retail, and restaurant components. Furthermore, the subject site is not located within immediate proximity to parks, playgrounds, schools, or religious institutions. As a result, the granting of the CUP will not negatively impact any sensitive land uses that may be nearby. Approval of the CUP will be consistent with several goals and policies of the General Plan. Policy 2.2 of the Land Use Element encourages land uses that accommodate the City’s needs for goods and services. Providing a variety of establishments that offer alcoholic beverages as part of their menu offers additional dining options for Santa Ana residents and visitors. Furthermore, Policy 2.9 of the Land Use Element supports 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 2 –3 CUP No. 2021-07 – Avatar Coffee Roasters May 24, 2021 Page 4 7 0 1 developments that create a business environment that is safe and attractive. Operational standards for the proposed Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) license will maintain a safe and attractive environment in the neighborhood. Finally, Policy 5.5 of the Land Use Element encourages development that is compatible with and supporting of surrounding land uses. Avatar Coffee Roasters is located within a mixed use development and its operations will be compatible with the surrounding land uses. Police Department Analysis The Police Department reviews CUP applications for the sale and service of alcoholic beverages in order to ensure that the potential crime and nuisance behaviors associated with alcohol consumption are mitigated to the greatest extent possible. For on-sale licenses, the Police Department analyzes the crime rate in the area using the standards and definitions contained in the Business and Professions Code Section 23948.4(c)(2), which are also utilized by the State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. This section defines “reported crimes” as criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny theft, and motor vehicle theft, combined with all arrests for other crimes, both felonies and misdemeanors, except traffic citations. Table 3: Police Department Analysis and Criteria for Recommendation Police Department Analysis and Criteria for Recommendation Police Grid No. and Rank Police Grid No. 249; ranked 73 out of 102 Police Reporting Grids (71st percentile) Threshold for High Crime This reporting district is well below the 20 percent threshold established by the State for high crime Police Department Recommendation The Police Department is satisfied that the operational standards applicable to on-premise ABC licenses will mitigate any potential impacts to the surrounding community and therefore does not oppose the granting of a CUP. The Police Department then compares the number of such crimes in the reporting district as compared to the number of crimes in other reporting districts. In keeping with the standard used by the State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control and Business and Professions Code, should the Police Department determine that the reporting district has a 20 percent greater number of reported crimes than the average number found in all reporting districts, the Police Department will consider this information in making its recommendation. As part of the application process, the application was reviewed by the Police Department. Based on its review, the Police Department has no issues of concern regarding this application. 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 2 –4 CUP No. 2021-07 – Avatar Coffee Roasters May 24, 2021 Page 5 7 0 1 Public Notification and Community Outreach Project notifications were posted, published, and mailed in accordance with City and State regulations. Copies of the public notice, including a 500-foot notification radius mop, and the site posting are provided in Exhibit 7. In addition to these measures, representatives of the Delhi Neighborhood Association were contacted to identify any areas of concern due to the proposed request. At the time this report was printed, no issues of concern were raised regarding the proposed CUP. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines (Class 1/Existing Facilities) because the project involves negligible expansion of an existing use. Based on this analysis, Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2021-41 will be filed for this project. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. EXHIBIT(S) 1.

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines, and declares as follows: A. Jamie Hales (“Applicant”), representing Avatar Coffee Roasters, is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (“CUP”) No. 2021-07 to allow on-premises consumption of alcoholic beverages at a new eating establishment located at 1951 East Dyer Road, Unit B. B. Santa Ana Municipal Code (“SAMC”) Section 41-196 requires approval of a CUP for establishments wishing to sell alcoholic beverages for on- premises consumption. C. On May 24, 2021 the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on CUP No. 2021-07. D. The Planning Commission determines that the following findings, which must be established in order to grant a CUP pursuant to SAMC Section 41-638, have been established for CUP No. 2021-07 to allow the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption at 1951 East Dyer Road, Unit B. 1. That the proposed use will provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or community. The proposed sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption at this location will provide an ancillary service to the eating establishment’s customers by allowing them the ability to purchase alcoholic beverages with their meal. This will thereby benefit the community by providing an eating establishment with an additional and complementary food related amenity. Operational standards applicable to the alcoholic beverage control (“ABC”) license and conditions of approval will mitigate any potential impacts created by the use and will ensure that the use will not negatively affect the surrounding community. 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 2 –6 Resolution No. 2021-XXX Page 2 of 7 2. That the proposed use will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity. The proposed sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption at this location will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity because the operational standards applicable to the alcoholic beverage control license and conditions of approval will address any potential negative or adverse impacts created by the use. The granting of the CUP will not negatively impact any sensitive land uses that may be nearby. 3. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area. The proposed use will not adversely affect the economic stability of the area, but will instead allow the eating establishment to compete with other nearby eating establishments that offer a full selection of alcoholic beverages for sale to their customers. Moreover, the offering of alcoholic beverages will allow the eating establishment to be economically viable and compete with nearby full-service eating establishments in Santa Ana and will contribute to the overall success of the City. 4. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use. The proposed conditional use permit will be in compliance with all applicable regulations and operational standards imposed on an eating establishment selling alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption pursuant to Chapter 41 of the SAMC. The facility will be maintained as a full- service, bona-fide eating establishment, having suitable kitchen facilities and supplying an assortment of foods. Additionally, the eating establishment will utilize less than five (5%) percent of the gross floor area for display and storage of alcoholic beverages, which is the maximum threshold established by the SAMC. In addition, operational standards will ensure the project remains in compliance with all applicable codes and regulations related to alcohol sales to ensure that the use does not impact neighboring properties or create an attractive nuisance 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 2 –7 Resolution No. 2021-XXX Page 3 of 7 5. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan of the city or any specific plan applicable to the area of the proposed use. The proposed sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption at this location will not adversely affect the General Plan or any specific plan. The granting of CUP No. 2021-07 supports several policies contained in the General Plan. Policy 2.2 of the Land Use Element encourages land uses that accommodate the City’s needs for goods and services. Providing a variety of full-service eating establishments that provide alcoholic beverages as part of their menu offers additional dining options for Santa Ana residents and visitors. Furthermore, Policy 2.9 of the Land Use Element supports developments that create a business environment that is safe and attractive. Operational standards for the proposed ABC license will maintain a safe and attractive environment in the neighborhood. Policy 5.5 of the Land Use Element encourages development that is compatible with and supporting of surrounding land uses. Avatar Coffee Roasters is located within a mixed-use building and its operation is compatible with the surrounding residential use and commercial businesses. Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the project is categorically exempt from further review per Section 15301 (Class 1 – Existing Facilities). Class 1 exemption applies to the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination. The project proposes to allow the operation of an alcoholic beverage control license to sell alcoholic beverages at a bona-fide eating establishment. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2021-41, will be filed for this project. Section 3. The Applicant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, authorized volunteers, and instrumentalities thereof, harmless from any and all claims, demands, lawsuits, writs of mandamus, referendum, and other proceedings (whether legal, equitable, declaratory, administrative or adjudicatory in nature), and alternative dispute resolution procedures (including, but not limited to arbitrations, mediations, and such other procedures), judgments, orders, and decisions (collectively “Actions”), brought against the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof, that challenge, attack, or seek to modify, set aside, void, or annul, any action of, or any permit or approval issued by the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof (including actions approved by the voters of the City) for or concerning the project, whether such Actions are brought under the Ralph M. Brown 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 2 –8 Resolution No. 2021-XXX Page 4 of 7 Act, California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning and Zoning Law, the Subdivision Map Act, Code of Civil Procedure sections 1085 or 1094.5, or any other federal, state or local constitution, statute, law, ordinance, charter, rule, regulation, or any decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Publish: OC Reporter – Legal Section Date: May 12, 2021 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 2 –20 Planning and Building Agency Item # 3 City of Santa Ana 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 Planning Commission Staff Report May 24, 2021 Topic: Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) No. 2021-01 – Light Processing (Recycling) Facilities RECOMMENDED ACTION Recommend that City Council approve ZOA No. 2021-01 to adopt an ordinance amending Sections 41-472 and 41-472.5 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) to require a conditional use permit (CUP) for Light Processing Facilities in the Light Industrial (M-1) zoning district. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The proposed ordinance would amend Section 41-472 of the SAMC to remove light processing facilities as a use permitted by right in the Light Industrial (M-1). The ordinance would also amend Section 41-472.5 of the SAMC to add light processing facilities as a conditionally-permitted use in the same zoning district, thereby allowing the Planning Commission and City Council to approve, conditionally approve, or deny applications for such facilities. DISCUSSION On January 19, 1988, the City Council adopted Ordinance NS-1946, adding Article XIV to Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) to regulate recycling facilities. The ordinance created a regulatory framework to define, allow, and regulate recycling facilities and related uses in Santa Ana, including recycling facilities, collection facilities, and processing facilities. A subsequent ordinance, Ordinance NS-2333, was adopted on October 6, 1997 to update and bring the City’s existing recycling facilities ordinance into conformance with State laws in place at the time. Recycling uses range from smaller drop-off (collection) facilities and reverse vending machines at the various commercial centers throughout Santa Ana, to processing facilities where recyclable materials are bailed, compacted, flattened, grinded and crushed, sorted, shredded, cleaned, and remanufactured. These more complex 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 3 –1 Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) No. 2021-01 – Light Processing (Recycling) Facilities May 24, 2021 Page 2 1 7 3 1 operations are defined as processing facilities, further broken down into two categories: Light and Heavy, and are permitted in Santa Ana’s Industrial (M-1 and M-2) zoning districts. Processing facilities are defined in SAMC Section 41-1250 (d). As defined in the SAMC, a processing facility is a building or enclosed space used for the collection and processing of recyclable materials. Pursuant to the SAMC, a light processing facility occupies an area of under forty-five thousand (45,000) square feet of gross collection, processing and storage area and has up to an average of two (2) outboard truck shipments per day. Light processing facilities are limited to baling, briquetting, crushing, compacting, grinding, shredding and sorting of source-separated recyclable materials and repairing of reusable materials sufficient to quality as a certified processing facility. Light processing facilities may not shred, compact, or bale ferrous metals other than food and beverage containers. Further, the SAMC states that a heavy processing facility is any processing facility other than a light processing facility. As presently written, the SAMC requires a CUP for heavy processing facilities, which are only permitted in the Heavy Industrial (M-2) zoning district. Section 41-1255 of the SAMC contains operational standards for all processing facilities, whether light or heavy, one of which is that such facilities may not abut a property zoned or used for residential purpose. However, due to the City’s age, development patterns, and past zoning practices, there exist multiple areas of the City where Industrial (M-1 and M-2) zoning districts directly abut residentially-zoned or used properties, now identified as Environmental Justice Communities pursuant to California Senate Bill (SB) 1000. These Communities include the Delhi, Logan, Cornerstone Village, Lacy, French Park, Artesia Pilar, Casa Bonita, and other residential properties near Harbor Mixed-Use Transit Corridor Specific Plan (SP-2), Santa Anita, and Mar-Les neighborhoods that are not part of an established Neighborhood Association. In these areas and under the current SAMC regulations, a light processing facility may operate just one property away from a residential land use, without any CUP requirement. Operations typical of light processing facilities, which include preparation of material for efficient shipment, or to an end-user's specifications, by such means as baling, briquetting, compacting, flattening, grinding, crushing, mechanical sorting, shredding, cleaning, and remanufacturing, are known to have detrimental effects on surrounding properties due to the noise, odor, vibration, vermin infestation, visual, and traffic impacts caused by inbound and outbound truck movements. The absence of a CUP requirement does not allow the City to evaluate each submitted application for consistency with surrounding properties and neighborhoods, as well as the General Plan, to therefore recommend approval or denial of such applications subject to a discretionary review process. Moreover, the current by-right review prevents the Planning Commission and City Council from imposing conditions of approval to ensure compatible and unimpactful operations of such facilities with surrounding properties and neighborhoods. 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 3 –2 Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) No. 2021-01 – Light Processing (Recycling) Facilities May 24, 2021 Page 3 1 7 3 1 There currently exist 12 light processing facilities in the City. Of these, six are located in the Light Industrial (M-1) zoning district and five are operating without a Conditional Use Permit. Out of the 12 light processing facilities, 11 are within 1,000 feet of property zoned or used for residential purposes. The proposed SAMC amendment would ensure continued consistency of the Zoning Code’s regulations with SAMC Section 41-1, which articulates the purpose of the City’s Zoning Code. The absence of a Conditional Use Permit requirement for light processing facilities is inconsistent with the goals expressed by SAMC Section 41-1 in that discretion by the Planning Commission and City Council may not be exercised to ensure that the location and operation of such facilities are compatible with the scale, character, and nature of surrounding properties and neighborhoods as specified in SAMC Sections 41-1 (a), (b), (e), and (f). Specifically, these include goals to encourage the most appropriate use of land; conserve and stabilize property value; lessen congestion on streets and highways, and; promote the health, safety and the general welfare of the people, all as part of the Santa Ana General Plan. General Plan Consistency The amendments proposed by this Ordinance are consistent with numerous Goals and Policies of the existing General Plan. These include: 1. Land Use Element Goals 1 (Promote a balance of land uses to address basic community needs), 3 (Preserve and improve the character and integrity of neighborhoods), and 5 (Ensure that the impacts of development are mitigated); 2. Noise Element Goal 1 (Prevent significant increases in noise levels in the community and minimize the adverse effects of currently-existing noise sources); 3. Public Safety Element Goal 1 (Preserve a safe and secure environment for all Santa Ana residents and workers); and 4. Urban Design Element Goals 1 (Improve the physical appearance of the City through development of districts that project a sense of place, positive community image, and quality environment) and 2 (Improve the physical appearance of districts through development that is proportional and aesthetically related to its district setting). The City is in the process of comprehensively updating its General Plan. Proposed new or updated Elements of the General Plan include Community, Economic Prosperity, Noise, Safety, Land Use, and Urban Design. These proposed new or updated Elements contain draft policies that have been identified and thoroughly reviewed by members of the Santa Ana community through surveys, workshops, meetings, and public hearings. Consistent with SB 1000, the City is considering changes to its goals, policies, and actions to take into consideration the topic of environmental justice that will improve existing and future conditions for all of Santa Ana, with a focus on those in Santa Ana in greatest need of help and protection. These draft policies are intended to improve and maintain a high quality of life for residents, businesses, and visitors of Santa Ana and address deleterious land uses such as Processing Facilities, both Light and Heavy, in the City. 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 3 –3 Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) No. 2021-01 – Light Processing (Recycling) Facilities May 24, 2021 Page 4 1 7 3 1 Prior Urgency Ordinance Pursuant to Charter Section 415 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code and California Government Code Section 65858, the City Council is authorized to adopt an interim (urgency) ordinance, without following the procedures otherwise required for the adoption of an ordinance. On May 4, 2021, the City Council voted unanimously to adopt an urgency ordinance approving ZOA No. 2021-01. Concurrent with this effort, the Planning Division has prepared the proposed permanent ordinance that requires Planning Commission review before reconsideration by the City Council. Upon adoption, the permanent ordinance would become effective 30 days after the City Council’s second reading. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the state CEQA Guidelines, the adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from CEQA review pursuant to California Code of Regulations section 15061(b)(3), which is applicable if it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. As a result, a Notice of Exemption will be filed upon adoption of this ordinance. FISCAL IMPACT There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this action. However, adoption of this Ordinance would result in a CUP application requirement for light processing facilities. The current CUP application review fee is $6,150.89. EXHIBIT(S) 1. Ordinance 2.

Copy of Public Notice Submitted By: Ali Pezeshkpour, AICP, Principal Planner 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 3 –4 jmf 5-24-21 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 1 of 9 ORDINANCE NO. NS-XXX AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AMENDING SECTIONS 41-472 AND 41-472.5 OF THE SANTA ANA MUNICIPAL CODE TO REQUIRE A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR PROCESSING FACILITIES AS DEFINED IN SANTA ANA MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 41-1250 THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. On January 19, 1988, the City Council adopted Ordinance NS-1946, adding Article XIV to Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) to regulate recycling facilities. B. Ordinance NS-1946 established definitions, zoning, regulations, and operational standards for a variety of recycling-related uses, including recycling facilities, collection facilities, and processing facilities. C. On October 6, 1997, the City Council adopted Ordinance NS-2333, amending various sections of the SAMC regarding recycling regulations to update and bring the City’s existing recycling facilities ordinance into conformance with State laws in place at the time. Ordinance NS-2333 remains in full effect. D. Pursuant to SAMC Section 41-1250 (d), a Processing Facility is a building or enclosed space used for the collection and processing of recyclable materials. Processing means the preparation of material for efficient shipment, or to an end-user's specifications, by such means as baling, briquetting, compacting, flattening, grinding, crushing, mechanical sorting, shredding, cleaning, and remanufacturing. Such facilities are distinguished between Light Processing Facilities or Heavy Processing Facilities, as defined in SAMC Sections 41-1250 (d) (1) and 41-1250 (d) (2), respectively. E. A Light Processing Facility is permitted as a use in the Light Industrial (M-1) and Heavy Industrial (M-2) zoning districts pursuant to Sections 41-472 (y) (3) and 41-489 of the SAMC, respectively, without the need for a conditional use permit. F. SAMC Section 41-1 (Purpose) articulates the purpose and intent of the City’s Zoning Code, that because of the necessity of segregating the location of 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 3 –5 jmf 5-24-21 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 2 of 9 residences, businesses, trades and industries; and regulating the use of buildings, structures, and land; and regulating the location, height, bulk, and size of buildings and structures, the size of yards and other open spaces; the city is divided into land- use districts of such number, shape and area as may be considered best suited to carry out these regulations and provide for their enforcement. The City’s zoning regulations are considered necessary in order to: (a) encourage the most appropriate use of land; (b) conserve and stabilize property value; (c) provide adequate open spaces for light and air and to prevent and fight fires; (d) prevent the undue concentration of population; (e) lessen congestion on streets and highways, and (f) promote the health, safety and the general welfare of the people, all as part of the General Plan of the City. G. The absence of a Conditional Use Permit requirement for Light Processing Facilities is inconsistent with the goals expressed by SAMC Section 41-1 (Purpose) in that discretion by the Planning Commission and City Council cannot be exercised to ensure that the location and operation of such facilities are compatible with the scale, character, and nature of surrounding properties and neighborhoods as specified in SAMC Sections 41-1 (a), (b), (e), and (f). H. Heavy Processing Facilities are currently required to obtain approval of a Conditional Use Permit and are only permitted in the City’s Heavy Industrial (M-2) zoning district, pursuant to SAMC Section 41-489.5. I. Due to the City’s age, development patterns, and past zoning practices, there exist multiple areas of the City where Industrial (M-1 and M-2) zoning districts directly abut residentially-zoned or used properties, now identified as Environmental Justice Communities pursuant to California Senate Bill (SB) 1000. These Communities include the Delhi, Logan, Cornerstone Village, Lacy, French Park, Artesia Pilar, Casa Bonita, and other residential areas near Harbor Mixed-Use Transit Corridor Specific Plan (SP-2), and also the Santa Anita and Mar-Les neighborhoods that are not part of an established Neighborhood Association. J. There currently exist 12 Light Processing Facilities in the City. Of these, six are located in the Light Industrial (M-1) zoning district, five of which are operating without a Conditional Use Permit. Out of the 12 light processing facilities, 11 are within 1,000 feet of property zoned or used for residential purposes. K. Due to the nature of their operations, Light Processing Facilities often operate in outdoor settings, creating dust, noise, odor, and negative aesthetic impacts on surrounding properties and neighborhoods that generate calls for code enforcement and police services. Since 2010, the Code Enforcement Division has received and reviewed 48 complaints for such facilities. The nature of these complaints includes unpermitted storage and construction; sanitation, health, or safety concerns; operating beyond approved operations or operating standards 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 3 –6 jmf 5-24-21 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 3 of 9 specified by the SAMC; outdoor business activity; debris, trash, and litter; graffiti; homeless encampments; and unpermitted or excess signage. L. The amendments proposed by this Ordinance are consistent with numerous Goals and Policies of the existing General Plan. These include: 1. Land Use Element: Goals 1 (Promote a balance of land uses to address basic community needs), 3 (Preserve and improve the character and integrity of neighborhoods), and 5 (Ensure that the impacts of development are mitigated); 2. Noise Element: Goal 1 (Prevent significant increases in noise levels in the community and minimize the adverse effects of currently-existing noise sources); 3. Public Safety Element: Goal 1 (Preserve a safe and secure environment for all Santa Ana residents and workers); and 4. Urban Design Element: Goals 1 (Improve the physical appearance of the City through development of districts that project a sense of place, positive community image, and quality environment) and 2 (Improve the physical appearance of districts through development that is proportional and aesthetically related to its district setting). M. The City is in the process of comprehensively updating its General Plan. Proposed new or updated Elements of the General Plan include Community, Economic Prosperity, Noise, Safety, Land Use, and Urban Design. These proposed new or updated Elements contain draft policies that have been identified and thoroughly reviewed by members of the Santa Ana community through surveys, workshops, meetings, and public hearings. Consistent with SB 1000, the City is considering changes to its goals, policies, and actions to take into consideration the topic of environmental justice that will improve existing and future conditions for all of Santa Ana, with a focus on those in Santa Ana in greatest need of help and protection. These draft policies are intended to improve and maintain a high quality of life for residents, businesses, and visitors of Santa Ana and address deleterious land uses such as Processing Facilities, both Light and Heavy, in the City. N. If Light Processing Facilities remain a use permitted in the Industrial (M-1 and M-2) zoning districts without a conditional use permit, they will pose a serious threat to the public interest, health, safety and welfare for the following reasons: 1. Such uses may continue to locate in the City’s Industrial zoning (M-1 and M- 2) districts without appropriate and thorough review by the City’s Planning Commission and City Council. Such uses would remain subject to the City’s administrative review process for administrative development projects, 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 3 –7 jmf 5-24-21 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 4 of 9 pursuant to Article V, Division 3 of Chapter 41 of the SAMC. This administrative review process ensures consistency with adopted development standards and design guidelines, but (1) does not allow the City to evaluate each submitted application for consistency with surrounding properties and neighborhoods, as well as the General Plan, and to therefore recommend approval or denial of such applications subject to a discretionary review process, and (2) prevents the Planning Commission and City Council from imposing conditions of approval to ensure compatible and harmonious operations of such facilities with surrounding properties and neighborhoods. 2. Operations typical of Light Processing Facilities, which include preparation of material for efficient shipment, or to an end-user's specifications, by such means as baling, briquetting, compacting, flattening, grinding, crushing, mechanical sorting, shredding, cleaning, and remanufacturing, are known to have detrimental effects on surrounding properties due to the noise, odor, vibration, vermin infestation, visual, and traffic impacts caused by inbound and outbound truck movements to and from such facilities. The absence of a Conditional Use Permit requirement for such facilities severely circumscribes the City’s ability, through its administrative review process, to impose conditions on such operations that would otherwise protect the health, welfare, and safety of residents and visitors to properties abutting or in the vicinity of Light Processing Facilities. O. Prevention of detrimental impacts to residents, the public interest, health, safety and welfare requires the enactment of this Ordinance. The absence of this Ordinance will create a serious threat to the orderly and effective implementation of any code amendments, General Plan amendments or specific plan amendments which may be adopted by the City. Light Processing Facilities permitted by-right may be in conflict with or frustrate other provisions of the SAMC intended to guarantee or preserve the public peace, health, or safety. Moreover, permitting such facilities without requiring a Conditional Use Permit would create impacts on the public health, safety and welfare that the City Council, in adopting this ordinance, has found to be unacceptable. P. On May 4, 2021 the City Council unanimously adopted Urgency Ordinance No. NS-3004 amending sections 41-472 and 41-472.5 to the identical effect prescribed by this Ordinance, ZOA No. 2021-01. In accordance with California Government Code section 65858, Urgency Ordinance No. NS-3004 is an interim ordinance that remains effective for up to 45 days from the date of its adoption (subject to extension) to allow the Planning Commission further opportunity to study the matter. Q. On May 24, 2021 the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on ZOA No. 2021-01. 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 3 –8 jmf 5-24-21 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 5 of 9 R. The Request for City Council Action for this ordinance dated June 15, 2021 and duly signed by the Executive Director of the Planning and Building Agency shall, by this reference, be incorporated herein, and together with this ordinance, any amendments or supplements, and oral testimony constitute the necessary findings for this ordinance. S. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana intends that nothing in this article shall be deemed to conflict with State or Federal law, nor to otherwise permit any activity that is prohibited under the California Beverage Container Recycling & Litter Reduction Act or other applicable law. Section 2. The City Council finds and determines that this ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, as there is no possibility it will have a significant effect on the environment and it is not a "project", as defined in Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines.

RECOMMENDED ACTION Recommend that the City Council adopt an ordinance approving ZOA No. 2021-02 to amend various sections of Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) relating to lodging-related land use definitions and reasonable accommodations. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In order to further the purposes of the Fair Housing Act (FHA), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and the Lanterman Development Disabilities Act (Lanterman Act), and to preserve the residential neighborhoods of the City, the Planning and Building Agency (PBA) of the City of Santa Ana is recommending approval of several amendments to the City’s Zoning Code relating to lodging-related land use definitions and reasonable accommodation process. DISCUSSION The City of Santa Ana is proposing to update its reasonable accommodations process and definitions relating to lodging-related land uses, often known as group living arrangements or GLAs. These updates are intended to reflect current State and Federal laws, described in more detail in subsequent sections of this report, and to implement best practices for local governments charged with defining, implementing, and enforcing reasonable accommodations processes and GLAs. The City’s effort parallels proposed Ordinance Amendment (OA) No. 2021-01, which would update Chapter 1 of the SAMC to enact a new reasonable accommodations process. That OA is scheduled for City Council consideration in June and July 2021. Table 1 on the following page of this report illustrates the amendments proposed by both ZOA No. 2021-02 and by OA No. 2021-01. The City is requesting that the Planning Commission recommend approval of ZOA No. 2021-02 to the City Council, while OA No. 2021-01 will be scheduled for City Council on a separate but concurrent path. The amendments proposed in OA No. 2021-01, outside the Zoning Code, are not under the purview of the Planning Commission. However, the background and 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 4 –1 ZOA No. 2021-02 – Lodging-Related Land Use Definitions and Reasonable Accommodations May 24, 2021 Page 2 1 7 4 8 analyses in the subsequent sections of this staff report are intended to provide holistic background on these topics, which are closely related. Table 1: ZOA No. 2021-02 and OA No. 2021-01 Comparison Topic ZOA No. 2021-02 (Requires Planning Commission Recommendation to the City Council) OA No. 2021-01 (Requires City Council Review) Definitions Deletes, updates, and/or establishes new definitions and zoning district uses permitted addressing lodging-related land uses/GLAs Establishes new definitions in Chapter 1 of the SAMC pertaining to reasonable accommodations Reasonable Accommodations Deletes existing reasonable accommodations provisions from the Zoning Code Updates the reasonable accommodations ordinance, including application and review process, by adding a new article to Chapter 1 of the SAMC Reasonable Accommodations The existing reasonable accommodations ordinance, adopted in March 2011, is contained within Sections 41-652 through 41-655 of the SAMC. These sections provide for a process by which a request may be submitted for relief from certain development standards, regulations, policies, or procedures to accommodate an individual with a disability to provide an equal opportunity to the use and enjoyment of their dwelling. The present ordinance is contained within the City’s zoning code in Chapter 41 of the SAMC and provides relief for land use and zoning-related matters. The proposed ordinance amendment in ZOA No. 2021-02 would delete the existing reasonable accommodations ordinance in its entirety. Parallel to this effort, OA No. 2021- 01, subject to City Council review, would adopt a new reasonable accommodation ordinance in Chapter 1 of the SAMC. The new ordinance would be consistent with current State and Federal practices and would provide a process by which a request may be submitted for relief from certain development standards, regulations, policies, or procedures that may include more than just land use and zoning-related standards. Common examples include requests for additional driveway widths to accommodate larger vehicles that have been retrofit for individuals with alternative mobility needs (Planning and Building Agency-related) to painting a blue curb in front of a residence or place of business for parking for persons with disabilities (Public Works Agency-related). Lodging-Related Land Use Definitions/Group Living Arrangements ZOA No. 2021-02 would also update definitions and zoning district uses permitted that address lodging-related land use Definitions and GLAs. 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 4 –2 ZOA No. 2021-02 – Lodging-Related Land Use Definitions and Reasonable Accommodations May 24, 2021 Page 3 1 7 4 8 Background Like many other cities in California, Santa Ana has experienced a rise in the number of GLAs within single family residential neighborhoods. The proliferation of GLAs has led to an increasingly amount of code enforcement complaints and police calls for service from residents and neighborhood association representatives relating to secondary impacts associated with such uses. Since 2016, the City’s Code Enforcement Division has received 50 complaints regarding such uses. Reported impacts of group living arrangements include excessive amounts of noise, loitering, second-hand smoke, trash and debris, and increased parking demands within residential neighborhoods. Of particular concern is how these GLAs may impact single family neighborhoods where existing development patterns and infrastructure were put in place for single-family occupancy. The Federal FHA, ADA and the California FEHA, prohibit discrimination against individuals on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, family status and disability through zoning or other land uses practices. Because of these laws, cities cannot develop zoning or land use regulations that would discriminate against individuals with disabilities. As defined by the FAH and FEHA, persons with disabilities are individuals with mental or physical impairments that substantially limit one or more major life activities. Such disabilities include but are not limited to blindness, mobility impairment, mental illness, learning disabilities, and alcoholism and drug addiction. Present Status in Santa Ana The City’s ability to limit the impacts of group homes on the community are regulated by State and Federal legislation. Current provisions of the SAMC do not clearly define group homes and do not regulate the external impacts of such uses. In addition, the SAMC does not expressly identify or allow these uses; rather, the SAMC only specifies residential uses in general terms and such facilities have been approved in residential zones without any type of zoning permit approval. Because of this, the City’s Code Enforcement Division has encountered challenges in its efforts to regulate group homes. Furthermore, the City has witnessed an increasing amount of clustered group homes locating within the City’s residential neighborhoods that are functioning similarly to that of an institutionalized facility which can disrupt the neighborhood character envisioned by the City’s General Plan. Based on State and City data, there are approximately 113 groups homes in Santa Ana, of which 72 are licensed facilities and 41 are unlicensed facilities. Included in those 72 licensed facilities, 38 are adult residential care facilities, 15 are adult alcoholism or drug recovery or treatment facilities, 9 are residential care facilities for the elderly, 7 are social rehabilitation facilities, and 3 are residential heath facilities. The unlicensed 41 facilities are assumed to be sober living facilities, but because of their unlicensed status, their operations are not certain. These estimations do not include facilities located within the City’s commercial zoning districts and foster and family day care facilities, which amount to an additional 213 facilities. 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 4 –3 ZOA No. 2021-02 – Lodging-Related Land Use Definitions and Reasonable Accommodations May 24, 2021 Page 4 1 7 4 8 State Licensing and Requirements The State has established a licensing system for certain group homes that provide certain type of care and supervision. These State licensed facilities are designed to accommodate individuals who may require 24-hour supervision but who do not need extensive medical care. These facilities provide services to a diverse group of individuals and vary in size and capacity. Such facilities include intermediate care facilities for the developmentally disabled, community care facilities, residential care facilities for the elderly, residential care facilities for the chronically ill, alcoholism and drug abuse facilities, pediatric day health and respite care facilities, residential health care facilities(including congregate living health facilities), family care homes, foster homes, and group homes for the mentally disordered or otherwise disabled persons or dependent and neglected children. These type of licensed facilities are regulated by the Department of Social Services (DSS), Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) or Department of Public Health (CDPH), which fall under the supervision of the Health and Human Services Agency (CHHS) of the State of California. Each department has its own review and application process and such facilities are inspected annually. In addition, the State requires a 300-foot separation between most community care facilities, but this separation can be waived by the State in special circumstances. Such separation requirement does not apply to foster homes, transitional shelter care facilities, elderly facilities, health facilities, and Alcoholism or Drug Abuse Treatment Facilities (ADP). A 1,000-foot separation between licensed congregated living health facilities is also required. Congregated living health facilities provide onsite medical care, have medical professional staff onsite to administer care, and can write and administer medicinal prescriptions. State law makes it clear that cities cannot regulate state licensed group homes that provide care and services to six (6) or fewer individuals. In addition, cities cannot regulate living arrangements in which the occupants operate as a “single housekeeping unit.” Licensed group homes and single housekeeping units must be treated like single-family residences for zoning purposes. Therefore, these types of facilities must be permitted in all residential zones in which single-family residences are allowed, with the same development and parking standards of a single-family residence. In addition, no conditional use permit or special use permit can be required for these facilities unless the same permit is required for a single-family residence. However, local jurisdictions do have the ability to regulate (subject to some state and federal limitations) unlicensed group homes and licensed residential care facilities that care for seven (7) or more individuals. Exhibit 3 contains a short but informative report on how group homes are defined and regulated at the State and Federal level. Planning Commission Work-Study Session The proposed ordinance provides new and/or strengthens definitions relating to lodging- related land uses. These definitions will allow the City to better categorize group homes, 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 4 –4 ZOA No. 2021-02 – Lodging-Related Land Use Definitions and Reasonable Accommodations May 24, 2021 Page 5 1 7 4 8 since the SAMC currently lacks definitions that hinder the City’s abilities to identify such facilities and enforce its relevant ordinances. The proposed ordinance follows a similar regulatory approach as adopted by the cities of Aliso Viejo, Lake Forest, San Clemente, and San Juan Capistrano. To date, no known legal challenge has been filed against these jurisdictions to challenge the new ordinances, since they are facially neutral and not based on an individual’s disability status. During the April 26, 2021 public hearing for ZOA No. 2021-02, the Planning Commission provided feedback on unanticipated consequences of the proposed ordinance, namely how the proposed boarding house definition might affect shared living arrangements. The Commission continued the public hearing to May 24, 2021, and requested a work-study session on May 10, 2021 to further discuss GLAs and whether the original proposed boarding house definition’s specifying the number of rental agreements per residence or dwelling as two (2) or more separate rental agreements (written, oral, or implied) would potentially lead to enforcement against all shared living arrangements citywide. Enforcement of City Regulations The proposed ordinance will enable the City to regulate the use of a residential dwelling based solely upon the number of rental agreements within a dwelling unit. The ordinance will also provide a clear metric for the City to use when assessing and responding to a community complaint regarding the improper use of a residential dwelling. The ordinance does not permit or enable the City to violate privacy and rights protected under the fourth amendment, to conduct unreasonable searches, or to enter a property without the consent of the occupant. Similar to many cities throughout California and nationally, the City of Santa Ana code enforcement approach is responsive to the community and relies upon complaints from the public. In addition, City has historically adopted an enforcement approach that seeks voluntary compliance. The City has found that having the cooperation of the violating party is the most effective and timely approach to achieving compliance. Refining the Definition Also responsive to the Commission’s feedback, staff is proposing two refinements to the original definition of boarding house. First, the proposed definition removes “operate as a single housekeeping unit” altogether. The removal of this distinction from the definition would allow the City to regulate and define the use solely based on the number of rental agreements and would not impact living arrangements by individuals or families that may or may not function as a single housekeeping unit. Second, the number of rental agreements qualifying a boarding house has been modified from two (2) to five (5). Under this proposed refinement, any dwelling with five (5) or more rental agreements, instead of two (2) or more rental agreements, would be defined as a 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 4 –5 ZOA No. 2021-02 – Lodging-Related Land Use Definitions and Reasonable Accommodations May 24, 2021 Page 6 1 7 4 8 boarding house. This modification is equally important as the removal of the single housekeeping unit distinction for the following reasons: Increasing the rental agreements number from two (2) to five (5) addresses the vast majority of shared living arrangements by individuals and families taking place in many Santa Ana residences. Information provided by the Housing Division shows that this revision captures over 89 percent of shared living arrangements within the City. Specifically, the data available to the City is based on the following measures: o Average Owner Occupied Household Size (2015-2019): The estimated average size of an owner-occupied household, between 2015-2019, is 4.25. o Average Renter Occupied Household Size (2015-2019): The estimated average size of a renter-occupied household, between 2015-2019 is 4.32 o Percent of Seven (7) or More Person Households (2015-2019): The estimated percent of all households that are seven or more person households (2015-2019) is 10.9 percent. Increasing the rental agreements number qualifying a boarding house from two (2) to five (5) minimizes impacts to shared living arrangements and would prevent commercialization of residential dwellings that were not designed or intended for use for commercial lodging purposes while allowing multiple lessees to share a dwelling on a scale that is relatively compatible with the design and purpose of the dwelling and the neighborhood. The proposed ordinance would formalize and allow shared living arrangements with up to four (4) leasehold interests of a dwelling by-right and ensure that this important housing resource be conducted openly and lawfully. Moreover, the proposed ordinance would encourage residential uses operating as a boarding house with five or more separate rental agreements within a dwelling to seek State licensure. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the state CEQA Guidelines, the adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from CEQA review pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, as there is no possibility it will have a significant effect on the environment and it is not a "project", as defined in Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines. As a result, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2021-40 will be filed upon adoption of this ordinance. FISCAL IMPACT There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this action.

NS-XXX ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT NO. 2021-02 – AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AMENDING PORTIONS OF CHAPTER 41 (ZONING) OF THE SANTA ANA MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO LODGING-RELATED LAND USE DEFINITIONS AND REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. The Federal Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 and California Fair Employment and Housing Act require local jurisdictions to establish a process by which persons with disabilities can request reasonable accommodations to the jurisdiction’s codes, rules, policies, practices or services, necessary to afford persons with disabilities an equal opportunity to use or enjoy a dwelling. B. In tandem with the separate creation of updated protocols for requests for reasonable accommodations in the general application of the City’s programs, including its zoning and land-use regulations, it is necessary to amend certain land-use definitions to clarify the circumstances under which reasonable accommodations may be sought for purposes that exceed those definitions, including group living scenarios.

NS-XXX ORDINANCE AMENDMENT NO. 2021-01 – AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA ESTABLISHING VARIOUS NEW SECTIONS IN CHAPTER 1 OF THE SANTA ANA MUNICIPAL CODE READOPTING AND UPDATING REGULATIONS AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES FOR REVIEWING AND APPROVING REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION REQUESTS THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. The Federal Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 and California Fair Employment and Housing Act require local jurisdictions to establish a process by which persons with disabilities can request reasonable accommodations to the jurisdiction’s codes, rules, policies, practices or services, necessary to afford persons with disabilities an equal opportunity to use or enjoy a dwelling. B. Under California Government Code section 65583, each city must analyze in its housing element the special needs of disabled persons. Each housing element also must analyze governmental constraints to the development and maintenance of housing for disabled persons, and include a program to provide reasonable accommodations from zoning and land use regulations to allow for the development of housing for disabled persons. C. On March 21, 2011, the City Council adopted Ordinance NS-2813, thereby creating a Reasonable Accommodations Ordinance and establishing an application process and standards by which the City may evaluate requests for reasonable accommodations by individuals with disabilities. D. In addition to the foregoing statutes, other state and federal disability laws require a city to provide reasonable accommodations for disabled persons in the application of city programs, including but not limited to the city’s land-use, zoning, and building regulations, as well as other programs, policies, practices and procedures. E. By adopting this Ordinance, the City desires to amend its municipal code to update the process by which persons with disabilities can request such reasonable accommodations in full accordance with state and federal laws. 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 4 –27 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 2 of 7 F. The protection of public health, safety and welfare is a primary objective of the Santa Ana General Plan. G. Concurrent with this effort, the Planning Commission, following a duly- noticed public hearing on April 26, 2021, approved Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2021-02 to delete and add certain definitions and sections pertaining to group living in the Zoning Code. H. Ordinance Amendment No. 2021-01 is consistent with various goals and policies of the General Plan. Specifically, it is consistent with Housing Element Goal 2 (A diversity of quality housing, affordability levels, and living experiences that accommodate Santa Ana’s residents and workforce of all household types, income levels, and age groups to foster an inclusive community), Policy HE-2.4 (diverse housing types), and Goal 4 (Adequate rental and ownership housing opportunities and supportive services for seniors, people with disabilities, families with children, and people needing emergency, transitional, or supportive housing), Policies HE-4.3 and HE-4.7 (provide housing for disabled people and provide regulatory oversight). I. On May 18, 2021, the City Council held a duly-noticed public hearing and considered the staff report, recommendations by staff, and public testimony concerning OA No. 2021-01. Section 2. The City Council finds and determines that this ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, as there is no possibility it will have a significant effect on the environment and it is not a "project", as defined in Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 3. Article I of Chapter 1 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code is hereby established to read in full as follows and shall include present Sections 1-1 through 1- 21.9 in their entirety: Article I. – In General Section 4. Article II of Chapter 1 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code is hereby established to read in full as follows: Article II. – Reasonable Accommodations Section 1-22. - Purpose and Intent. It is the policy of the City to make, as provided in this Article, reasonable accommodation in the application of its programs, including its zoning and land-use laws in Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (Zoning), for disabled persons, to the extent required under federal and state disability laws. The purpose of this article is to establish a process 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 4 –28 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 3 of 7 for disabled persons to submit and for the City to review a request for reasonable accommodation. Section 1-23. - Definitions. For the purposes of this Article, unless otherwise apparent from the context, certain words or phrases used in this section are defined as follows: 1. “Person or Persons with a disability” means: a person or persons who have a physical or mental impairment that makes achievement of a major life activity difficult, as defined by state and federal disability laws; anyone who is regarded as having such impairment; or anyone with a record of such impairment. 2. “Reasonable accommodation” means providing a person with disability a flexibility in the application of City programs, including City land-use, zoning and building regulations, policies, practices and procedures, or waiving certain requirements when it is necessary to provide meaningful access to City programs or to eliminate barriers to housing opportunities for persons with disabilities. Section 1-24. - Review Authority. The Executive Director or a designee of the Executive Director of the Planning and Building Agency is the final authority on a Request for Reasonable Accommodation. Regardless of who the initial review authority is, a denial of a request may be appealed by the requestor to a hearing officer. The hearing officer’s decision shall be final. Section 1-25. - Applicability. 1. Eligible Applicants. a. A Request for Reasonable Accommodation may be made by any person with a disability, his or her representative, or a developer or provider of housing or other services for persons with disabilities, when the application of a City program, including a City land-use or building regulation, policy, practice or procedure, acts as a barrier to meaningful access to City programs or to fair-housing opportunities for persons with disabilities. b. Federal and state disability laws afford no protection to persons with or without disabilities whose tenancy presents a direct threat to the persons or property of others. Determining whether someone’s tenancy poses such a direct threat must be made on an individualized basis, however, and may not be based on general assumptions or speculation about the nature of a disability. 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 4 –29 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 4 of 7 2. Eligible Request. A Request for Reasonable Accommodation may include a modification or exception to the practices, rules, or standards for a City program or for the development, siting, and use of housing or housing- related facilities that would eliminate regulatory barriers and provide a person with a disability with meaningful access to City programs and equal opportunity to housing of the person’s choice. Section 1-26. - Application. 1. Requirements. Application for a Request for Reasonable Accommodation shall be made to the Review Authority pursuant to Section 1-24 of this article on forms approved by the Review Authority and shall be full and complete, including such data as may be prescribed by the Review Authority to assist in determining the validity of the request. Incomplete applications shall not be accepted for filing. Minimum application components must include the following: a. Property location b. Legal owner information c. Applicant information d. Request and reasoning e. Legal owner and applicant signatures f. Any other relevant information deemed necessary by the City to evaluate the Request for Reasonable Accommodation 2. Assistance with Application.

Request for Further Information. If necessary to reach a decision on Request for Reasonable Accommodation, the Review Authority may request further information from the applicant consistent with state and federal disability laws and this article, specifying in detail the further information required. In the event that a request for additional information is made, the 30-day period to issue a decision under this section is stayed until the applicant responds to the request. 3. Compliance with other Regulations. An approved Request for Reasonable Accommodation does not affect any person’s obligations to comply with all other applicable regulations not at issue in the requested accommodation. 4. Confidentiality. Any information identified by an applicant as confidential shall be retained in a manner so as to respect the privacy rights of the applicant and shall not be made available for public inspection, unless disclosure is otherwise required by state or federal law. Section 1-28. - Required Findings. Prior to approval of a Request for Reasonable Accommodation, the following findings must be made consistent with federal and state disability laws: 1. When housing is the subject of the request for reasonable accommodation, the housing will be used by a person with disabilities protected under fair housing laws. 2. As applicable, the requested accommodation is necessary to make housing available to a person with disabilities protected under the fair housing laws. 3. The requested accommodation would not impose an undue financial or administrative burden on the City. 4. The requested accommodation would not require a fundamental alteration in the nature of the City’s policies, practices or procedures, including consideration of alternatives which may provide an equal level of benefit. 5. The requested accommodation will not result in a direct and significant threat to the health or safety of other persons or substantial physical damage to the property of others. Section 1-29. - Appeals. 1. The action of the Review Authority is final unless appealed to within 10 working days. The notice of appeal must be in writing and, upon receipt and filing of the appropriate appeal fee, the Review Authority shall schedule the 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 4 –31 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 6 of 7 appeal to be heard by a hearing officer within 30 days.

The paper first reviews state statutes that protect certain licensed group homes and describes provisions of State Planning and Zoning Law that are applicable more generally to both licensed and unlicensed homes. It then explains California case law relating to the right of privacy,which prevents local governments from discriminating between households containing related persons and those comprised of unrelated individuals. It concludes by discussing local regulations that appear to be permissible under State law and fair housing law. II.Statutes Protecting Licensed Facilities A complex set of statutes requires that cities and counties treat small, licensed group homes like single-family homes. Inpatient and outpatient psychiatric facilities, including residential facilities for the mentally ill, must also be allowed in certain zoning districts. A.California Licensing Laws California has adopted a complicated licensing scheme in which group homes providing certain kinds of care and supervision must be licensed. Some licensed homes cannot be closer than 300 feet to each other, while other licensed homes have no separation requirements. All licensed facilities serving six or fewer persons must be treated like single-family homes for zoning purposes. While this section discusses some of the most common licensed facilities, it does not include every type of license or facility regulated in this complex area of law. 1.Community Care Facilities Community care facilities must be licensed by the California Department of Social Services (CDSS).1 A "community care facility" is a facility where non-medical care and supervision are provided for children or adults in need of personal services.2 Facilities serving adults typically provide care and supervision for persons between 18-59 years of age who need a supportive living environment. Residents are usually mentally or developmentally disabled. The services provided may include assistance in dressing and bathing; supervision of client activities; monitoring of food intake; or oversight of the client's property.3 CDSS separately licenses residential care facilities for the elderly and residential care facilities for the chronically ill. Residential care facilities for the elderly provide varying levels of non- 1 Cal. Health & Safety Code 1500 et seq.2 Cal. Health & Safety Code 1502(a). 3 22 Cal. Code of Regulations 80001(c)(2). 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 4 –35 990051\1\963008.1 3/23/2011 2 medical care and supervision for persons 60 years of age or older.4 Residential care facilities for the chronically ill provide treatment for persons with AIDS or HIV disease.5 2.Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities The State Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs ("ADP") licenses facilities serving six or fewer persons that provide residential non-medical services to adults who are recovering from problems related to alcohol or drugs and need treatment or detoxification services.6 Individuals in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction are defined as disabled under the Fair Housing Act.7 This category of disability includes both individuals recovering in licensed detoxification facilities and recovering alcoholics or drug users who may live in "clean and sober" living facilities. 3.Health Facilities The State Department of Health Services and State Department of Mental Health license a variety of residential health care facilities serving six or fewer persons.8 These include "congregate living health facilities" which provide in-patient care to no more than six persons who may be terminally ill, ventilator dependent, or catastrophically and severely disabled9 and intermediate care facilities for persons who need intermittent nursing care.10 Pediatric day health and respite care facilities with six or fewer beds are separately licensed.11 B.Protection from Land Use Regulations for Certain Licensed Facilities Small facilities licensed under these sections of California law and serving six or fewer residents must be treated by local governments identically to single-family homes. Additional protection from discrimination is provided to certain psychiatric facilities. However, some group homes may be subject to spacing requirements. 1.Limitations on Zoning Control of Small Group Homes Serving Six or Fewer Residents Licensed group homes serving six or fewer residents must be treated like single-family homes or single dwelling units for zoning purposes.12 In other words, a licensed group home serving six or fewer residents must be a permitted use in all residential zones in which a single-family home is 4 Cal. Health & Safety Code 1569.2(k). 5 22 Cal. Code of Regulations 87801(a)(5).6 Cal. Health & Safety Code 11834.02. 7 24 C.F.R. 100.201.8 Cal. Health & Safety Code 1265 –1271.1.9 Cal. Health & Safety Code 1250(i). 10 Cal. Health & Safety Code 1250(e) and 1250(h). 11 Cal. Health & Safety Code 1760 –1761.8.12 This rule appears to apply to virtually all licensed group homes. Included are facilities for persons with disabilities and other facilities (Welfare & Inst. Code 5116), residential health care facilities (Health & Safety Code 1267.8, 1267.9, & 1267.16), residential care facilities for the elderly (Health & Safety Code 1568.083 -1568.0831, 1569.82 –1569.87), community care facilities (Health & Safety Code 1518, 1520.5,1566 -1566.8, 1567.1, pediatric day health facilities (Health & Safety Code 1267.9; 1760 –1761.8), and facilities for alcohol and drug treatment (Health & Safety Code 11834.23). 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 4 –36 990051\1\963008.1 3/23/2011 3 permitted, with the same parking requirements, setbacks, design standards, and the like. No conditional use permit, variance, or special permit can be required for these small group homes unless the same permit is required for single-family homes, nor can parking standards be higher, nor can special design standards be imposed. The statutes specifically state that these facilities cannot be considered to be boarding houses or rest homes or regulated as such.13 Staff members and operators of the facility may reside in the home in addition to those served. Homeowners' associations and other residents also cannot enforce restrictive covenants limiting uses of homes to "private residences" to exclude group homes for the disabled serving six or fewer persons.14 The Legislature in 2006 adopted AB 2184 (Bogh) to clarify that communities may fully enforce local ordinances against these facilities, including fines and other penalties, so long as the ordinances do not distinguish residential facilities from other single-family homes.15 Because there are no separation requirements for drug and alcohol treatment facilities, ADP has in practice been willing to issue separate licenses for 'small' drug and alcohol treatment facilities whenever a dwelling unit or structure has a separate address. For instance, ADP has issued a separate license for each apartment in one multifamily building, for each single-family home in a six-home compound, and for each cottage in a hotel, in each case creating facilities that in fact serve many more than six residents. No local effort to regulate these facilities as 'large' residential care facilities has been successful in a published case; in other contexts, the courts have determined that the State has completely preempted local regulation of small residential care facilities.16 2.Facilities Serving More Than Six Residents Because California law only protects licensed facilities serving six or fewer residents, many cities and counties restrict the location of facilities housing seven or more clients. They may do this by requiring use permits, adopting special parking and other standards for these homes, or prohibiting these large facilities outright in certain zoning districts. While this practice may raise fair housing issues, no published California decision prohibits the practice. Some cases in other federal circuits have found that requiring a conditional use permit for large group homes violates the federal Fair Housing Act.17 However, the federal Ninth Circuit, whose decisions are binding in California, found that requiring a conditional use permit for a building atypical in size and bulk for a single-family residence does not violate the Fair Housing Act.18 13 For example, see Health & Safety Code 1566.3 & 11834.23.14 Government Code 12955; Hall v.

The Ninth Circuit has held that an annual review provision adopted as a condition of a special use permit was not consistent with the Fair Housing Act.19 In 2006, the Legislature passed a bill (SB 1322) sponsored by State Senator Cedillo that would have required all communities to designate sites where licensed facilities with seven or more residents could locate either as a permitted use or with a use permit. It was motivated by newspaper reports of suburban communities' "dumping" the mentally ill and homeless in big cities. Although SB 1322 was vetoed by the Governor, changes were later made in Housing Element law to protect certain transitional and supportive housing, as discussed further below. 3.Siting of Inpatient and Outpatient Psychiatric Facilities Cities must allow health facilities for both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric care and treatment in any area zoned for hospitals or nursing homes, or in which hospitals and nursing homes are permitted with a conditional use permit.20 "Health facilities" include residential care facilities for mentally ill persons. This means that if a zoning ordinance permits hospitals or nursing homes in an area, it must also permit all types of mental health facilities, regardless of the number of patients or residents. This is important because most cities are supportive of hospitals and nursing zones and may allow them in areas where they would normally not wish to allow large facilities for the mentally ill. In one case, a residential care facility for 16 mentally ill persons was refused a permit in an R-2 zoning district where "rest homes" and "convalescent homes" were permitted, but not "nursing homes." Since the zoning district did not permit "nursing homes" or hospitals, the City believed that it was able to forbid the use in that zoning district. However, the court found that the City's definitions of "rest homes" and "convalescent homes" were very similar to its definition of "nursing homes"—rest homes and convalescent homes were, in effect, nursing homes—and so held that the City must allow the residential facility for mentally ill persons within that zoning district.21 4.Separation Requirements for Certain Licensed Facilities CDSS must deny an application for certain group homes if the new facility would result in "overconcentration." For community care facilities,22 intermediate care facilities, and pediatric day health and respite care facilities,23 "overconcentration" is defined as a separation of less than 300 feet from another licensed "residential care facility," measured from the outside walls of the structure housing the facility. Congregate living health facilities must be separated by 1,000 feet.24 19 Turning Point, Inc. v. City of Caldwell, 74 F.3d 941 (9th Cir. 1996). 20 Cal. Wel. & Inst. Code 5120.21 City of Torrance v. Transitional Living Centers, 30 Cal. 3d 516 (1982). 22 Cal. Health & Safety Code 1520.5.23 Cal. Health & Safety Code 1267.9. 24 Cal. Health & Safety Code 1267.9(b)(2). 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 4 –38 990051\1\963008.1 3/23/2011 5 These separation requirements do not apply to residential care facilities for the elderly, drug and alcohol treatment facilities, foster family homes, or "transitional shelter care facilities," which provide immediate shelter for children removed from their homes. None of the separation requirements have been challenged under the federal Fair Housing Act, although separation requirements have been challenged in other states.25 CDSS must submit any application for a facility covered by the law to the city where the facility will be located. The city may request that the license be denied based on overconcentration or may ask that the license be approved. CDSS cannot approve a facility located within 300 feet of an existing facility (or within 1,000 feet of a congregate living health facility) unless the city approves the application. Even if there is adequate separation between the facilities, a city or county may ask that the license be denied based on overconcentration.26 These separation requirements apply only to facilities with the same type of license. For instance, a community care facility would not violate the separation requirements even if located next to a drug and alcohol treatment facility. C.Facilities That Do Not Need a License Housing in which some services are provided to persons with disabilities may not require licensing. In housing financed under certain federal housing programs, including Sections 202, 221(d)(3), 236, and 811, if residents obtain care and supervision independently from a third party that is not the housing provider, then the housing provider need not obtain a license.27 "Supportive housing" and independent living facilities with "community living support services," both of which provide some services to disabled people, generally do not need to be licensed.28 Recovery homes providing group living arrangements for people who have graduated from drug and alcohol programs, but which do not provide care or supervision, also do not need to be licensed.29 The result is that many situations exist where persons with disabilities will live together and receive some services in unlicensed facilities. Because State law does not require that these facilities be treated as single-family homes, some communities have attempted to classify them as lodging houses or other commercial uses and require special permits. Distinguishing a "lodging house" from a "residence" is discussed in more detail in the next section. However, courts in other jurisdictions have found that when the state does not provide a license for a type of facility, cities cannot discriminate against facilities merely because they are unlicensed.30 Although there is no case on point in California or the Ninth Circuit, ordinances requiring greater regulation for unlicensed homes with fewer services than licensed homes providing more services could raise fair housing issues, although an argument can also be made that unlicensed facilities are completely unregulated and hence require more local supervision. Some 25 Based on cases from other states, the 1,000-foot limit for congregate living health facilities is unlikely to be upheld. Spacing requirements that have been challenged have required 500-foot separations or more. 26 See, e.g., Cal. Health & Safety Code 1520.5(d). 27 Cal. Health & Safety Code 1505(p). 28 Cal. Health & Safety Code 1504.5.29 Cal. Health & Safety Code 1505(i). 30 North-Shore Chicago Rehabilitation Inc. v. Village of Skokie, 827 F. Supp. 497 (1993). 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 4 –39 990051\1\963008.1 3/23/2011 6 communities have explicitly adopted ordinances stating that unlicensed group homes serving six or fewer clients are permitted in residential zones.31 Legislation was introduced in California in 2006 to make clear that communities could regulate unlicensed facilities with six or fewer residents. This provision was ultimately removed after receiving fierce opposition from advocates for the disabled and State agencies responsible for finding placements for foster children and recovering drug and alcohol abusers. III.California Planning and Zoning Laws California Planning and Zoning Law has long contained provisions prohibiting discrimination in land use decisions based on disability. Effective January 1, 2002, state housing element law was amended to require an analysis of constraints on persons with disabilities and to require programs providing reasonable accommodation. Additional protections for supportive and transitional housing became effective on January 1, 2008. A.Protection from Discrimination in Land Use Decisions California's Planning and Zoning Law prohibits discrimination in local governments' zoning and land use actions based on (among other categories) race, sex, lawful occupation, familial status, disability, source of income, method of financing, or occupancy by low to middle income persons.32 It also prevents agencies from imposing different requirements on single-family or multifamily homes because of the familial status, disability, or income of the intended residents.33 In general, the statute serves the same purposes and requires the same proof as a violation of the federal Fair Housing Act.34 However, federal fair housing law does not specifically limit discrimination based on income level,35 and Section 65008 makes clear that discrimination based on disability is prohibited in local planning and zoning decisions. B.Housing Elements California requires that each city and county adopt a 'housing element' as part of its general plan for the growth of the community.36 The housing element governs the development of housing in the community. It must identify sites for all types of housing, including transitional housing, supportive housing, and emergency shelters. Beginning in 2002, local housing elements were required to analyze constraints on housing for persons with disabilities and to include programs 31 For instance, one community adopted zoning provisions stating that “residential service facilities” serving 6 or fewer clients could be permitted in any residential zone, defining such uses as: “A residential facility, other than a residential care facility or single housekeeping unit, designed for the provision of personal services in addition to housing, or where the operator receives compensation for the provision of personal services in addition to housing. Personal services may include, but are not limited to, protection, care, supervision, counseling, guidance, training, education, therapy, or other nonmedical care.” 32 Cal. Gov't Code 65008(a) and (b). 33 Cal. Gov't Code 65008(d)(2). 34 Keith v. Volpe, 858 F.2d 467, 485 (9th Cir. 1987). 35 Affordable Housing Development Corp. v. City of Fresno, 433 F.3d 1182 (2006). 36 Cal. Gov't Code 65580 et seq. 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 4 –40 990051\1\963008.1 3/23/2011 7 to remove constraints or to provide reasonable accommodations for housing designed for persons with disabilities.37 The California Attorney General also sent a letter to local planning agencies in May 2001 urging them to adopt reasonable accommodation ordinances. As a consequence, many cities and counties in the State now have a separate reasonable accommodation ordinance that may be applicable to group homes serving disabled persons, whether licensed or unlicensed. Amendments to housing element law effective January 1, 200838 specifically require cities and counties to include in their housing elements a program to remove constraints so that 'supportive housing,' as defined in the bill, is treated like other residences of the same type. This means that communities must revise their zoning so that the only restrictions that may be applied to supportive housing, as defined in the statute, are those that apply to other residences of the same type (single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes,or fourplexes) in the same zoning district; no conditional use permit or other permit is required unless other residences of that type in the same zone also must obtain the same permit. However, to qualify for this protection, the supportive housing must meet the definition of "supportive housing" contained in Health & Safety Code Section 50675.14, which is housing that: Has no limit on the length of stay. Is linked to onsite or offsite services that assist residents in improving their health status, retaining the housing, and living and working in the community. Is occupied by the "target population," defined as adults with low incomes having one or more disabilities, including mental illness, HIV or AIDS, substance abuse, or other chronic health problems; and persons eligible for services under the Lanterman Development Disabilities Act, which provides services to persons with developmental disabilities that originated before the person turned 18. Should a group home meeting this definition of "supportive housing" require a permit of any type, California's "Housing Accountability Act" will allow it to be denied only under very limited circumstances.39 37 Cal. Gov't Code 65583(a)(4); 65583(c)(3). 38 Cal. Gov't Code 65583(a)(5).39 Cal. Gov't Code 65589.5(d). Local governments cannot deny supportive housing, or add conditions that make the housing infeasible, unless they can make one of five findings: The jurisdiction has met its low income housing needs. The housing would have a specific, adverse impact on public health or safety, and there is no feasible way to mitigate the impact. Denial is required to comply with state or federal law, and there is no way to comply without making the housing unaffordable. The housing is proposed on land zoned for agriculture and is surrounded on two sides by land being used for agriculture, or there is inadequate water or sewer service. The housing is inconsistent with both the zoning and the land use designation of the site and is not shown in the housing element as an affordable housing site. 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 4 –41 990051\1\963008.1 3/23/2011 8 Many privately operated group homes have limitations on the length of stay and are not occupied by adults with low incomes and so do not qualify as "supportive housing" under this definition; but many group homes funded under California's Mental Health Services Act do so qualify. IV.Protections Provided by the California Right to Privacy Unlike the federal Constitution, California's Constitution contains an express right to privacy, adopted by the voters in 1972. The California Supreme Court has found that this right includes "the right to be left alone in our own homes" and has explained that "the right to choose with whom to live is fundamental."40 Consequently, the California courts have struck down local ordinances that attempt to control who lives in a household—whether families or unrelated persons, whether healthy or disabled, whether renters or owners. On the other hand, the courts will support ordinances that regulate the use of a residence for commercial purposes. Consequently, communities that desire to regulate group homes have attempted to define them as commercial uses similar to boarding houses rather than restricting who lives there. A.Families v. Unrelated Persons in a Household In many states, local communities can control the number of unrelated people permitted to live in a household. However, based on the privacy clause in the State Constitution, California case law requires cities to treat groups of related and unrelated people identically when they function as one household.41 Local ordinances that define a "family" in terms of blood, marriage, or adoption, and that treat unrelated groups differently from "families," violate California law. California cities cannot limit the number of unrelated people who live together while allowing an unlimited number of family members to live in a dwelling. In the lead case of City of Santa Barbara v. Adamson, Mrs. Adamson owned a very large 6,200 sq. ft., 10-bedroom single-family home that she rented to twelve "congenial people." They became "a close group with social, economic, and psychological commitments to each other. They shared expenses, rotated chores, ate evening meals together" and considered themselves a family. However, Santa Barbara defined a family as either "two (2) or more persons related by blood, marriage or legal adoption living together as a single housekeeping unit in a dwelling unit," or a maximum of five unrelated adults. The court considered the twelve residents to be an "alternate family" that achieved many of the personal and practical needs served by traditional families. The twelve met half the definition of "family," because they lived as a single housekeeping unit. However, they were not related by blood. The court found that the right of privacy guaranteed them the right to choose whom to live with. The purposes put forth by Santa Barbara to justify the ordinance—such as a concern about parking—could be handled by neutral ordinances applicable to all households, not just unrelated individuals, such as applying limits on the number of cars to all households. "In general, zoning ordinances are much less suspect when they focus on the use than when they command inquiry into who are the users."42 40 Coalition Advocating Legal Housing Options v. City of Santa Monica, 88 Cal. App. 4th 451, 459-60 (2001).41 City of Santa Barbara v. Adamson, 27 Cal. 3d 123, 134 (1980). 42 Adamson, 27 Cal. 3d at 133. 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 4 –42 990051\1\963008.1 3/23/2011 9 Despite this long-standing rule, a 2002 study found that one-third of local zoning ordinances, including that of the City of Los Angeles, still contained illegal definitions of "family" that included limits on the number of unrelated people in a household.43 While most cities were aware that these limits were illegal and did not enforce them, interviews with staff members in the City of Los Angeles, for example, found that many did attempt to enforce the limits on the number of unrelated persons.44 If a group of people living together can meet the definition of a "household" or "family," there is no limit on the number of people who are permitted to live together, except for Housing Code limits discussed in the next section. By comparison, many ordinances regulate licensed group homes more strictly if they have seven or more residents, by defining such licensed facilities as a separate use. Since Adamson, the California courts have struggled to determine when zoning ordinances are focusing on the occupants of the home and when they are focusing on the use of the home. In particular, courts have struck down ordinances that: Limited the residents of a second dwelling unit to the property owner, his/her dependent, or a caregiver for the owner or dependent.45 Allowed owner-occupied properties to have more residents than renter-occupied properties.46 Imposed regulations on tenancies-in-common that had the effect of requiring unrelated persons to share occupancy of their units with each other.47 On the other hand, the courts have upheld regulations when they were convinced that the city's primary purpose was to prevent non-residential or commercial use in a residential area. In particular, the courts have upheld ordinances that: Regulated businesses in single-family residences ("home occupations") and limited employees to residents of the home.48 Prohibited short-term transient rentals of properties for less than thirty days.49 B.Occupancy Limits The Uniform Housing Code (the "UHC") establishes occupancy limits—the number of people who may live in a house of a certain size—and in almost all circumstances municipalities may 43 Housing Rights, Inc., California Land Use and Zoning Campaign Report 27-28 (2002). Los Angeles is now considering amendments to its ordinance. 44 Kim Savage, Fair Housing Impediments Study 37 (prepared for Los Angeles Housing Department) (2002). 45 Coalition Advocating Legal Housing Options v. City of Santa Monica, 88 Cal. App. 4th 451 (2001). 46 College Area Renters and Landlords Assn. v. City of San Diego, 43 Cal. App. 4th 677 (1996). However, this case was decided primarily on equal protection grounds, rather than on the right of privacy.47 Tom v. City & County of San Francisco, 120 Cal. App. 4th 674 (2004). 48 City of Los Altos v. Barnes, 3 Cal. App. 4th 1193 (1992). 49 Ewing v. City of Carmel, 234 Cal. App. 3d 1579 (1991). 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 4 –43 990051\1\963008.1 3/23/2011 10 not adopt more restrictive limits. The UHC provides that at least one room in a dwelling unit must have 120 square feet. Other rooms must have at least 70 square feet (except kitchens). If more than two persons are using a room for sleeping purposes, there must be an additional 50 square feet for each additional person.50 Using this standard, the occupancy limit would be seven persons for a 400-sq. ft. studio apartment (the size of a standard two-car garage). Locally adopted occupancy limits cannot be more restrictive than the UHC unless justified based on local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions. Efforts by cities to adopt more restrictive standards based on other impacts (such as parking and noise) have been overturned in California.51 Similarly, the Ninth Circuit found that a local ordinance that limited the number of persons in a homeless shelter to 15, when the building code would allow 25 persons, was unreasonable, and found that allowing 25 persons in the shelter would constitute a reasonable accommodation.52 Based on these federal and state precedents, localities may not limit the number of people living in a dwelling below that permitted by the UHC. V.Local Regulation of Group Homes In the past decade, much local concern has been directed at sober living homes, which are typically unlicensed facilities designed to provide support to recovering substance abusers. Because privately operated sober living homes often desire to attract middle-and upper middle- income residents, and there is a high demand for such facilities, they have often been located in middle-and upper-class areas, and in some cases have experienced local opposition. The League of California Cities has sponsored legislation designed to require licensing or allow more local control, but those efforts have failed. Communities often view such facilities as businesses exploiting a loophole rather than as residences and so seek to be able to distinguish them from residences, often defining them as "lodging houses" or "boarding houses." Lodging houses typically require a conditional use permit and are not permitted in single-family residential zones. Conversely, sober living homes seek to be classified as "households" or "single housekeeping units" so they may locate in any residential neighborhood without requiring any public notice or needing any use permit. A.Defining Unlicensed Facilities as Lodging Houses or Single Housekeeping Units A 2003 opinion of the State Attorney General found that communities may prohibit or regulate the operation of a lodging house in a single family zone in order to preserve the residential character of the neighborhood.53 The City of Lompoc defined a lodging house as "a residence or dwelling . . . wherein three or more rooms, with or without individual or group cooking facilities, are rented to individuals under separate rental agreements or leases, either written or oral, whether or not an owner, agent or rental manager is in residence." The Attorney General agreed 50 Cal. Health and Safety Code 17922(a)(1). See Briseno v. City of Santa Ana, 6 Cal. App. 4th 1378, 1381-82 (1992) (holding that the state Uniform Housing Code preempts local regulation of occupancy limits). 51 Briseno, 6 Cal. App. 4th at 1383. 52 Turning Point, Inc. v. City of Caldwell, 74 F.3d 941 (9th Cir. 1996). 53 86 Ops. Cal. Att'y Gen'l 30 (2003). 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 4 –44 990051\1\963008.1 3/23/2011 11 that a lodging house, while providing a 'residence' to paying customers, could be considered a commercial use and so could be prohibited in residential areas. ("There is no question but that municipalities are entitled to confine commercial activities to certain districts [citations], and that they may further limit activities within those districts by requiring use permits."54) The Attorney General further concluded that the ordinance was consistent with Adamson because it would allow any owner of property to rent to any member of the public and any member of the public to apply for lodging. The proposed ordinance would be directed at a commercial use of property inconsistent with the residential character of the neighborhood regardless of the identity of the users. Based on the Attorney General's opinion and Adamson, then, cities have increasingly defined a "household"or "single housekeeping unit" to have these characteristics: One joint lease signed by all residents; Access by all to all common areas of the home; and Shared housekeeping and shared household expenses. No limits on length of residence. New residents selected by existing residents, not a manager or landlord. For instance, the City of Los Angeles proposed an ordinance defining a “single housekeeping unit” as: One household where all the members have common access to and common use of all living, kitchen, and eating areas within the dwelling unit, and household activities and responsibilities such as meals, chores, expenses, and maintenance of the premises are shared or carried out according to a household plan or other customary method. If all or part of the dwelling unit is rented, the lessees must jointly occupy the unit under a single lease, either written or oral, whether for monetary or non-monetary consideration. The same ordinance proposed to define a boarding or rooming house as: A one-family dwelling, or a dwelling with five or fewer guest rooms or suites of rooms, where lodging is provided to individuals with or without meals, for monetary or non- monetary consideration under two or more separate agreements or leases, either written or oral. Under these and similar ordinance definitions, many sober living homes operated by private organizations, whether for-profit or nonprofit, are classified as boarding or lodging houses because residents do not sign a joint lease; new residents are selected by a manager; household expenses may not be shared (i.e., residents pay a set fee to the manager); and there may be limits 54 Id. 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 4 –45 990051\1\963008.1 3/23/2011 12 on length of residence. In contrast, persons who desire to live together to support each other during recovery and rent a home together would be classified as a “single housekeeping unit.” Enforcement Issues. If a group home is challenged as not constituting a single housekeeping unit, the operator will likely assert that it is indeed operating as a single unit. Unless there is public information available showing that a residence is operated as a lodging house (e.g., web advertising), an investigation would be required to demonstrate otherwise. If complaints were based primarily on the disability of the occupants (which could include their status as recovering drug and alcohol abusers), then California privacy rights and fair housing laws might be implicated. In one Washington, D.C., case, a federal district court found a violation of the federal Fair Housing Act where the Zoning Administrator carried out a detailed investigation of a residence for five mentally ill men in response to neighbors' concerns, finding that the Zoning Administrator's actions were motivated in part by the neighbors' fears about the residents' mental illness.55 In California, a similar challenge might be additionally based on rights of privacy and equal protection concerns. B.Best Practices -Service Providers We advise our nonprofit sponsors that if a facility can be considered a single housekeeping unit, the facility must be treated as a residence with one family residing in it. The most defensible structure for such a facility would be to: Have one rental agreement or lease signed by all occupants. If, instead, the provider signs the lease and each resident has a verbal or written agreement with the provider, then the facility could be considered a "lodging house" under the definition upheld by the Attorney General. Give all residents equal access to all living and eating areas and food preparation and service areas. Keep track of, and share, household expenses. Do not require occupants to move after a certain period of time, except for time limits imposed by the rental agreement or lease with the owner. Allow all existing residents to select new members of the household. VI.Conclusion In my own experience as a former city official, many group homes were invisible in the community and caused few problems. Most complaints about overcrowding and excessive vehicles did not involve a group home, but rather the poorest areas where space was rented out to the limits of the Housing Code. The group homes that caused the most concern were sober living facilities which tended to concentrate in certain inexpensive single-family neighborhoods. In one case, all five homes on 55 Community Housing Trust v. Dep't of Consumer & Regulatory Affairs, 257 F. Supp. 2d 208 (D.D.C. 2003). 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 4 –46 990051\1\963008.1 3/23/2011 13 one block face were purchased by a single owner. He was knowledgeable about his rights but unconcerned about his obligations, and sneered at the City's and neighborhood's concerns. Since the facilities were unlicensed, there was no regulatory oversight. When the occupant of one home was arrested for drug dealing, it caused an uproar. Many providers are conscious of their position in neighborhoods and make an effort to accommodate community concerns. Others may be perceived as arrogant and dismissive of local concerns, viewing all neighbors as "NIMBYs." Providers who view themselves as part of the community and set house rules that encourage community involvement, restrict noise, control parking, and establish smoking locations not visible from the street can go a long way toward abating perceived problems. Cities should modify their zoning ordinances to address unlicensed group homes and decide on a strategy for dealing with group homes with seven or more persons (use permit and reasonable accommodation). State legislation requiring some minimal licensing for sober living facilities would also be beneficial to set standards for minimal levels of care. Cities need also to avoid the kind of incidents that result in the Legislature's willingness to further constrain local control of these homes. 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 4 –47 990051\1\963008.1 3/23/2011 14 SUMMARY: GROUP HOME ANALYSIS UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW IF LICENSED: 6 or fewer clients: Must be treated like a single-family home for all zoning purposes, except for spacing requirements for certain licensed facilities (e.g., community care facilities). Community care facilities for the elderly and drug and alcohol treatment centers do not have spacing requirements. 7 or more clients: Psychiatric facilities—both inpatient and outpatient—must be permitted in any zone that permits nursing homes or hospitals as conditional or permitted uses. (City of Torrance v. Transitional Living Centers) Other licensed facilities are often subject to a use permit and may not be permitted in certain zones. Advocates may request a reasonable accommodation to avoid use permit requirements or to obtain modifications to traditional zoning requirements. But the Ninth Circuit has not found a use permit per se to violate the Fair Housing Act. (Gamble v. City of Escondido) IF UNLICENSED: Is it operated as a single housekeeping unit (household, family)? If so, must be treated like a single dwelling unit. Unlicensed homes are more likely to be considered as a single housekeeping unit if they meet the following tests: Physical access: all have access to common areas: kitchen, laundry, living & family rooms is free. No limits on term of occupancy All residents on lease or rental agreement [AG's opinion] Makeup of the household is determined by the residents rather than a landlord or property manager Normal household activities (meals, chores) and household expenses shared (Adamson) There are different local definitions of "family" or a single housekeeping unit. (For instance, some localities do not use the existence of separate rental agreements as a test for a single housekeeping unit.) Advocates oppose some of the above characteristics. 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 4 –48 990051\1\963008.1 3/23/2011 15 Does it qualify as "supportive housing" under housing element law? If so, must be treated like other residences of the same physical type [depending on date of adoption of housing element]. 6 or fewer clients: Fair housing argument if treated more strictly than licensed facilities; but no case in California holds this specifically. Defined as a boarding house or another use? Only the use can be regulated,not the user. Group homes for the disabled cannot be treated in a discriminatory fashion from other group homes (boarding houses, dormitories, etc.). 5/25/2021 Planning Commission 4 –49 CALIFORNIA NEWSPAPER SERVICE BUREAU CNS D A I L Y J O U R N A L C O R P O R A T I O N To the right is a copy of the notice you sent to us for publication in the ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER.
