CITY OF WILDOMAR PC - SPECIAL MEETING GENERAL BUSINESS Agenda Staff Report # 3.1 Meeting Date: June 26, 2024 SUBJECT: Wildomar Development Code Update and East-Side Grand Avenue Policy Overlay Area Discussion - PC Study Session: SUBMITTED BY: Matthew Bassi PREPARED BY: Matthew Bassi ACTION: Staff recommends the Planning Commission take the following actions: 1. Receive Staff/Consultant presentation on the Wildomar Development Code update and discuss/provide feedback/ideas to Staff; and 2. Discuss the "East-Side Grand Avenue Policy Overlay Area" and recommend to the City Council one of the following actions: a) Keep the GP Land Use designation of Estate Density Residential (EDR) as presently recommended; or b) Revert the GP Land Use designation back to Low Density Residential (LDR); or c) Adopt the "East-Side Grand Avenue Policy Overlay Area" language for the final General Plan Document. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Wildomar Development Code Update: General Overview and Background The Development (zoning) Code is the most important tool for implementing the General Plan. As with the General Plan, the City adopted the Riverside County regulations at the time of incorporation. As part of the update, we are also providing a comprehensive update to the development code. A Development Code is comprised of two main components: Land Uses and Procedures. Land Uses. The land use table includes uses that are recognizable to most property owners. Divided into allowable and conditional uses, the new code has tables rather than extensive text. The land uses allowed closely match the new General Plan, partially because they must be consistent, and partially because through the General Plan Update process there was a goal to ensure that existing neighborhoods were protected. Five new zoning districts: Mixed Use Low, Mixed Use High, Residential Mountainous, Public Facilities, and Open Space were 5

created to match similar land use designations in the General Plan. Numerous other zone districts were either combined into a single district, or eliminated as they don’t pertain to Wildomar. Remember the existing code was intended to regulate an entire county. Procedures. In addition to simplifying the zone districts, the procedures for reviewing projects have been streamlined. Ministerial projects will largely be approved at the staff level following objective design standards and the development code. Most projects that require discretion also trigger CEQA and would likely be reviewed by the Commission or Council. In addition to these sections, the definitions were consolidated into a single section and referenced by the rest of the development code. This makes them easy to find and update as needed. While seemingly mundane, many disagreements over interpretation hinge on definitions. Making things clear and easy to understand helps the property owner, staff and ultimately the Commission when projects come before you. In addition to these sections, the definitions were consolidated into a single section and referenced by the rest of the development code. This makes them easy to find and update as needed. While seemingly mundane, many disagreements over interpretation hinge on definitions. Making definitions clear and easy to understand helps the property owner, staff and ultimately the Commission/Council when projects come before you for consideration. Workshop Goal The goal of this workshop is to give an overview of the main approach to the Development Code update and to discuss items with the Commission and public. Ultimately the Commission will receive the entire code (it is currently under review by the City Attorney’s Office) and it will be posted online for public review. Following review, the new Development Code is expected after approval of the General Plan. Next Steps Based on input and direction from the Planning Commission at tonight's meeting, City staff and the project team will complete work on the draft Development Code to get it ready for public review. It is our intention to release the draft Development Code for public review in late summer 2024. Following the public review, public hearings on the draft Development Code and Consistency Zone Changes will be schedules for Commission and Council review in October/November 2024. PROJECT ANALYSIS: East Side Grand Avenue Policy Overlay Area Discussion: Background: The Grand Avenue land use recommendation was brought forward by the Commission during the May 24, 2023 study session. At this meeting, staff presented the final draft land use map for Commission discussion and consideration. Staff's recommendation on the final draft land use plan was to maintain (since incorporation in 2008) the existing Low Density Residential (LDR) land use designation for east side of Grand Avenue extending from McVicar Street south to the SCE substation and east from Grand Avenue to Murrieta Creek (Attachment C, Aerial Exhibit). The LDR land use designation is one of the city's rural land use designations allowing for rural residential uses on an existing parcel or as part of a new residential subdivision with half-acre (1/2) minimum lot sizes set a density of 2 units per acre. 6

During Commission discussion of the final draft land use plan, Commissioner Strong introduced the idea of changing the existing LDR land use designation to EDR (Estate Density Residential) to match the existing EDR designation on the west side of Grand Avenue primarily because the east side parcels are larger lots (some developed as estate lots, some vacant). The EDR designation is also one of the city's rural land use designations allowing for the same rural residential uses as LDR with the exception that the minimum lot size is 2 acres with a density of 1 unit per 2 acres instead of 2 units/acre. Upon conclusion of the discussion and public feedback (which was varied), the Commission voted unanimously to recommend City Council accept the EDR land use designation for the east side of Grand Avenue. Staff brought the Commission's recommendation to the City Council for discussion at their July 18, 2023 study session on the final draft land use plan. The Council, after public feedback (which was varied) and discussion, concurred with the Commission's recommendation and directed staff to revise the final draft land use plan to show the EDR designation for this area. Most recently on March 20, 2024, the City Council held a 2nd study session to discuss the General Plan update and various other topics, including the Grand Avenue land use change. The Council took public feedback from several members of the public and several property owners with parcels on the east side of Grand Avenue. The feedback and input on this issue was varied with some wanting to maintain the existing LDR designation and others wanting the keep the EDR designation that was recommended at the previous study sessions noted above. After deliberating and considering public feedback, Council chose to keep the EDR designation, but directed staff to look into possible alternatives, such as "split-zoning" or establishing a "special policy statement/vision" for this small geographic area. The reason being that a different approach/alternative to just the EDR designation (at 1 unit per 2 acres density) for this area could result in a blend of different sized lots along the Grand Avenue frontage (matching the west side) and allowing smaller lots (i.e., 1/3 acre sized lots) in the rear of the property. This approach could work given the physical/environmental constraints related to the Murietta Creek flood plain (a portion of each lot is in the flood plain), sewer and water improvements, topography, etc. Discussion: Following the March 20th Council study session, staff met with (or spoke with via phone) several east side property owners directly effected by the land use change from LDR to EDR. Based on these conversations, each property owner expressed a deep desire to maintain the existing LDR land use designation versus the EDR land use designation. Most were also open to a hybrid approach if the EDR designation was to be formally adopted by the City Council. Staff has also heard and understands that property owners on the west side of Grand Avenue who have voiced their opinions either directly to staff, or at the March 20 study session, would prefer the EDR designation over the existing LDR designation. Staff has created a preliminary version of a "Grand Avenue Neighborhood Land Use Policy Statement" for Commission consideration. It is important to note that this exhibit and the statements and standards therein are very preliminary and have not been studied in detail (i.e., no engineering design work) given the time constraints with our public hearings for the General Plan update and EIR scheduled for August 7, and August 28, 2024. If the concepts of this alternative are supported by Planning Commission and City Council, or some other variation, staff would recommend that any final decision on the idea be delayed and reviewed under a "future study plan" post General Plan update and EIR approval. 7

The following is a short summary of the Grand Avenue policy area statement and design standards for Commission consideration and direction. Please refer to Attachment D for more detail. Policy Statement: The Grand Avenue neighborhood policy area is located on the east side of Grand Avenue bounded by McVicar Street on the north, Murrieta Creek on the east and the northerly property line of the Tenaja SCE substation on the south (refer to map exhibit below). The properties falling within the boundary area noted above are subject to a “special design consideration” regarding future single family residential (SFR) development of this neighborhood boundary area. Due to the current topography, Murrieta Creek flood plain constraints, and other constraints (to be determined by technical studies during entitlement process), development opportunities beyond a single house on a single lot, may utilize a “clustered design concept” as part of a future subdivision map provided the property owner or applicant/subdivider prepares a specific “lot yield study” to be submitted to the city concurrently with a subdivision application for approval by the Planning Commission. Each property (or a combination of properties assembled) is allowed a maximum number of lots (i.e., total lot yield) based on the adopted land use designation (LDR or EDR). The design of the subdivision layout is subject to the following general design standards: Lots fronting on the East Side of Grand Avenue (facing west): • minimum lot size: 2 acres gross (measured to centerline of the street). • minimum lot width: 350 feet +/- (or matching lot width as lots fronting on west side of Grand Avenue). • minimum lot depth: 249 feet +/- (or matching lot depth as lots fronting on west side of Grand Avenue). • each subdivision development is only allowed one (1) public or private street from Grand Avenue leading into the interior of the site to provide ingress and egress for the lots in the rear of the property. • Minor deviations for existing parcels three (3) acres or less in size from the above standards may be allowed on a case by case basis only if supported by technical studies and approved by the Planning Commission Lots located behind the Grand Avenue lots: • lot design: “clustering” is allowed subject to the following minimum standards: • minimum lot size: 14,000 square feet gross (measure to centerline of interior street). • minimum lot width: 100 feet +/- • minimum lot depth: 140 feet +/- • each SFR development proposal is only allowed one (1) public/private street for ingress & egress off Grand Avenue leading into the interior of the site. • Minor deviations for existing parcels three (3) acres or less in size from the above standards may be allowed on a case by case basis only if supported by technical studies and approved by the Planning Commission. Staff is recommending the Planning Commission make one of three recommendations as listed in the "Recommendation Section." 8
