Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2022-01 March 2, 2022 M-SC Zone Code Amendment Page 1 CITY OF WILDOMAR – PLANNING COMMISSION Agenda Item #2.1 PUBLIC HEARING Meeting Date: March 2, 2022 TO: Chair and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Matthew C. Bassi, Planning Director SUBJECT: Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2022-01: Planning Commission consideration and recommendation to the City Council to modify Chapters 17.88; 17.92; 17.96; 17.108; and 17.248 of the Wildomar Municipal Code requiring a conditional use permit for gasoline and diesel service stations with the concurrent sale of beer and wine for off- premises consumption. STAFF REPORT RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Department recommends the Planning Commission adopt a Resolution entitled: PC RESOLUTION NO. 2022-07 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF WILDOMAR, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING CITY COUNCIL ADOPTION OF A GENERAL RULE EXEMPTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 15061(B)(3) OF CEQA AND APPROVAL OF ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT NO. 2022-01 TO MODIFY CHAPTERS 17.88; 17.92; 17.96; 17.108; AND 17.248 OF THE WILDOMAR MUNICIPAL CODE REQUIRING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR GASOLINE AND DIESEL SERVICE STATIONS WITH THE CONCURRENT SALE OF BEER AND WINE FOR OFF-PREMISES CONSUMPTION DESCRIPTION: The planning department is proposing a code amendment that will modify Chapters 17.88 (I-P zone); 17.92 (M-SC zone); 17.96 (M-M zone); 17.108 (M-H zone) and 17.248 (Alcoholic Beverage Sales) of the Wildomar Municipal Code requiring a conditional use permit for gasoline and diesel service stations with the concurrent sale of beer and wine for off-premise consumption. Currently, these zones allow gasoline and diesel service stations, but they do not allow concurrent beer and wine sales for off-premise consumption, even though the C-1/C-P and C-P-S commercial zones allow for this. To address this disparity, the proposed code amendment will add a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) requirement for gasoline and diesel service stations with the concurrent sale of beer and wine for off-premise consumption in these industrial zones.

Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2022-01 March 2, 2022 M-SC Zone Code Amendment Page 2 DISCUSSION: The proposed changes will address an inconsistency between the commercial and industrial zone which we inherited from Riverside County upon incorporation. It wasn’t until recently that the issue came to forefront with a potential development project. The Planning department processed a Pre-Application Review (PAR) for a gas station in the M-SC zone, but the Applicant would like to sell beer and wine as part of the mini-mart sales; something commonly done with gas stations. Under the current M-SC zone regulations, the Applicant would have been required to process a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change from Industrial to Commercial along with the CUP. This would have added 4 months to the development review process and an additional of $15,000 (for the GPA/ZC) on top of the CUP fee. Staff has reviewed other PAR’s proposing similar ideas but those project never came forward because of the cost and timing. Staff discussed alternatives to this costly process and determined that the proposed code amendment was the best way to fix this. It was concluded that a gas station with concurrent beer and wine sales in a commercial zone was not really different than if it were allowed in the industrial zones. Under the proposed code amendment, a CUP would be required for a gas station with concurrent beer and wine sales in both the commercial and industrial zone creating uniformity and equity. Staff believes this is a reasonable approach to solving this inequity and creates a uniform set of regulations regardless of the zoning. If the Commission adopts PC Resolution No. 2022-07 as recommended by Staff, the draft Ordinance will be presented to City Council at their meeting of April 13, 2022. ENVIRONMENTAL/CEQA DISCUSSION: In accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code § 21000, et seq. (“CEQA”)), a review of the potential environmental impacts was conducted by the Planning Department for Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2022-01. Based on this review, the Planning Department has determined that the adoption of the proposed amendment, which provides for more restrictive permits for gasoline and diesel service stations with the concurrent sale of beer and wine for off- premises consumption has no potential to impact the environment. The proposed amendment does not preclude gasoline and diesel service stations from going through a full CEQA review during the CUP entitlement process. Therefore, Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2022-01 meets the criteria to be exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), which states that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Given this, the Planning Department is recommending the Planning Commission make a determination that Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2022-01 has no potential to negatively impact the environment and recommend to the City Council adoption of the general rule exemption as stated above.

Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2022-01 March 2, 2022 M-SC Zone Code Amendment Page 3 ZOA NO. 2022-01 FINDINGS OF FACT: In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 17.280 of the Zoning Ordinance, the Planning Department recommends the Planning Commission make the following findings and forward these to the City Council in support of approving Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2022-01. A. The proposed amendment is consistent with the City of Wildomar General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Evidence: The proposed code amendment is consistent with the City of Wildomar General Plan in that requiring a conditional use permit (CUP) for gasoline and diesel service stations with the concurrent sale of beer and wine for off-premises consumption is a permitted use in the commercial and industrial zones. Further, the findings for a CUP are intended to protect the health, safety and welfare of the community and surrounding land uses, and adoption of this code amendment furthers this protection. The amendment is also consistent with the Zoning Ordinance in that the City is allowed to amend its list of conditionally permitted uses from time to time to address changes in the marketplace and to keep up with current trends. PUBLIC NOTICING: In accordance with Chapter 17.04 and 17.280 of the Wildomar Municipal Code, the Planning Department on February 18, 2022 published a legal notice in the Press Enterprise, a local newspaper of general circulation, notifying the general public of the March 2, 2022 Planning Commission hearing where the Commission would discuss Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2022-01. Since this code amendment is not a development project, the provisions of Ordinance 135 requiring public hearing sign boards do not apply. Respectfully Submitted, Reviewed By, Matthew C.
