STAFF REPORT

CITY OF CALIMESA PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING

SUBJECT: Development Plan Review (DPR 14-01) for the Caliline Cell Tower APPLICANT: Smartlink, LLC for Verizon Wireless LOCATION: 936 Calimesa Boulevard (APN 411-080-006) ZONING: Downtown Village Commercial (DVC) Zone Designation MEETING DATE: May 12, 2014 PREPARED BY: Mathew W. Evans, Community Development Director __________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution 2014-06 approving DPR 14-01 for the Caliline Cell Tower for the purpose of allowing the construction of an unmanned telecommu-nications facility consisting of a 65-foot monopine, 204-square foot equipment shelter, and generator within a 20’ x 40’ walled compound located at the existing “Skat-Trak” manufactur-ing facility located at 936 Calimesa Boulevard (APN 411-080-006) Downtown Village Center (DVC) Zone Designation. __________________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND: Skat-Track is an existing manufacturing facility with administrative offices, including leasable office space, and is located primarily between Avenue K, County Line Road and is bordered to the west by the I-10 Freeway. The primary access to Skat-Trak is from Avenue K with a secondary access strip (driveway and landscaping) located between Bakers Restaurant and the South Mesa Water District Pump house and well. The applicant has secured a lease agreement with the owners of Skat-Trak for the purpose of locating the proposed 65-foot monopine structure within their parking lot next to the County Line Road driveway access. The proposal includes a 204-square foot equipment shelter, and auxiliary generator within a 20’ x 40’ walled area. When the applicant first approached Staff with the concept of a monopine structure at this location, Staff asked the applicant to consider a faux-water tank and “telebarn” concept much like the existing Verizon cell tower located on the Bill and Jackie Davis property on Singleton Road, visible from the I-10 Freeway. The applicant informed Staff that the leasable area allowed by the Skat-Trak lease would not provide enough room for a faux-water tank structure and barn equipment house. The applicant proposed additional mitigation for the “stealthing” of the tower by proposing to add more branches to make the monopine appear

DPR 14-01 Caliline Cell Tower Planning Commission Meeting of May 12, 2014 Page 2

fuller. Staff visited the site and noted the lack of any pine-trees in the area and instead asked the applicant to consider matching the predominates tree in the area, which happens to be a Eucalyptus. The applicant then met with Staff to show what a “mono-euc” concept tree. Because the Eucalyptus tree is much more sparse than pine tree, it was agreed upon by the applicant and Staff that the original monopine concept would likely work best at this location. __________________________________________________________________________ DISCUSSION: The property is zoned Downtown Village Commercial (DVC) Zone District. Table 18.39.080 (Downtown Business District Permitted Uses) requires a Development Plan Review (DPR) for Telecommunications facilities under the “Public/Quasi Public Uses” section of the code. Development standards for Telecommunications facilities within the DVC are subject to Table 18.39.090(1) “Downtown Business District – Development Standards,” which refers to the Development Standards found within Commercial Zoning Districts. Section 18.25.060 (Antennas, Vertical and Satellite Dish Design Standards - All antennas, including portable units, shall be installed in the following manner) lists the following design standards for Telecommunications Facilities:

18.25.060 Design standards.

A. Antennas, Vertical and Satellite Dish Design Standards. All antennas, including portable units, but exempting residential satellite dish installations which are 10.5 feet or less in diameter, 12 feet or less in height, located in the rear yard, and are ground-mounted; and exempting residential single-pole or tower roof or ground-mounted television, or amateur radio antennas where the boom or any active element of the antenna array is 30 feet or less and the height does not exceed 75 feet, shall be installed in the following manner: 1. The subject location shall conform to all standards of the land use district in which it is

proposed. 2. The antennas/satellite dish shall not be located in the following areas:

a. Front setback; b. Street side setback; c. On any structure, unless architecturally screened and approved by the planning commission. The screening restriction on antennas may be modified by the commis-sion, if there is no alternative to maintain line of sight clearance for satellites or ama-teur radio antennas.

3. The maximum overall height for ground- mounted antennas shall be 75 feet above grade.

4. The operation of the antennas shall not cause interference with any electrical equip-ment in the surrounding neighborhoods (e.g., television, radio, telephone, computer, etc.), unless exempted by federal regulation.

5. The antennas/satellite dish shall be a single, nonglossy color (e.g., off-white, cream, beige, green, black, gray).

DPR 14-01 Caliline Cell Tower Planning Commission Meeting of May 12, 2014 Page 3

6. Antennas/satellite dish facilities (not including an antenna/satellite dish for the exclu-sive use of a residence) shall be screened on all sides with a six-foot block wall, and with a solid gate six feet in height providing access to the facility.

7. The antenna/satellite dish shall be sited to assure compatibility with surrounding de-velopment and not adversely impact the neighborhood.

Aesthetics and Stealthing Methods The tower will be installed to resemble the look of a pine tree. Based on the photo simula-tions, at a distance the tree will look authentic. However, upon closer examination if near the Skat-Trak parking lot, the pole is obviously a telecommunications tower with “faux” branches mounted to it. The proposed monopine will somewhat resemble three others within the City, including a monopine located at the Oak Valley Church on Calimesa Boulevard near Singleton Road, the City Hall monopine, and the monopine located towards the end of County Line Road, near the Heritage Oaks proposed development. The walled compound will be screened by a wrought-iron fence and additional landscaping in front of the fence to obscure it from public view. The equipment compound will not be visible from County Line Road as it is screened from view by the trees and shrubs located in the nearby Calimesa Creek, which runs between the Skat-Trak property and the South Mesa Water District pump house and well property. Staff has examined the site and has determined that the tree will not be readily visible from the I-10 Freeway going in either direction (east or Wwst). The tree will be visible from County Line Road at the driveway entrance to Skat-Trak and from the Bakers Restaurant parking lot. Existing Site Conditions The proposed site is currently a part of one of a few parking lots at the Skat-Trak facility. The site is surrounded on two sides by an existing landscape strip and is shield on the south by a trash enclosure block wall. The proposed structure and enclosure will eliminate three existing parking spaces. However, the proposed monopine is located in an under-utilized portion of the property where few cars are parked. The majority of Skat-Trak employees Park within a parking lot located off of Avenue K, and the administrative office parking is located to the rear of the Bakers Restaurant near I-10. The site is located near the north driveway entrance to Skat-Trak next to the Calimesa Creek stream line. The walled com-pound is not visible from County Line Road due to the overgrowth from the Street. Staff has requested additional landscaping to buffer the compound due to the fact that if the creek is ever piped, there would still be a landscaped area to shield it from public view. The surrounding properties are all within the DVC District, and surrounding uses include industrial, retail commercial and public facilities. There are no immediate residential areas close to the site. Access

DPR 14-01 Caliline Cell Tower Planning Commission Meeting of May 12, 2014 Page 4

Access to the monopine and the equipment is achieved by use of the Skat-Trak driveway and parking area. There is ample room around the site to accommodate large construction and maintenance vehicles. Compliance with Existing Codes The proposed telecommunications tower and equipment enclosure, as proposed, are in compliance with Section 18.25.060 (Design Standards – Telecommunications Facilities). No deviations from the City’s standards are proposed. Noise and Light The ground mounted equipment does not emit noise at any discernible level unless directly at the site. There are no nearby residential areas or structures near the site. It is not anticipated that noise from the equipment cabinets would generate enough noise to be heard by the adjacent property, especially considering that the equipment will be surrounded by a concrete block wall. There are no lights that will be visible on the monopine, and no lighting will be necessary within the equipment compound. Safety Issues There are no potential safety issues associated with the project. Industry standards will dictate safety issues to secure the pole and to protect associated equipment. __________________________________________________________________________ ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS: This project is "Categorically Exempt" under Section 15315 of the Guidelines for the Califor-nia Environmental Quality Act. It conforms to the General Plan and zoning standards with no variances or exemptions, and it has not been part of a previous subdivision in the past two years. __________________________________________________________________________ FISCAL IMPACT: None. __________________________________________________________________________ ATTACHMENTS: A: Resolution 2014-06 B: Site Plans, Elevations, and Photo Simulations

RESOLUTION NO. 2014-06

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CALIMESA APPROVING DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVIEW 14-01 FOR CALILINE CELLTOWER FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSTRUCTING A NEW TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWER (MONOPINE) AND RELATED EQUIPMENT LOCATED AT 936 CALIMESA BOULEVARD, IN THE DOWNTOWN VILLAGE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT (DVC) ZONE DESIGNATION (APN 411-080-006)

The Planning Commission of the City of Calimesa hereby finds and determines that:

WHEREAS, Smartlink, LLC for Verizon Wireless (Applicant) has submitted an application to

the City of Calimesa for the installation of a new 65 foot tall telecommunications tower (monopine) and related equipment on City-owned property at 936 County Line Road, Calimesa (Project); and,

WHEREAS, the proposed telecommunications tower will be “stealthed” by camouflaging the tower (pole) as a pine tree (monopine), and the equipment area is to be screened by a wrought-iron fence with landscaping; and,

WHEREAS, the project is “categorically exempt” under Section 15315 of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and,

WHEREAS, the proposed tower and equipment will be located on land that is being leased to the applicant by the Skat-Trak manufacturing company, and will be located in a portion of an un-used parking lot near the north entrance driveway near the Calimesa Creek; and,

WHEREAS, Telecommunication Towers (Cell Towers) are allowed within all Downtown Business District Zones with approval of a Development Plan Review; and,

WHEREAS, Staff and the applicant both concluded that the monopine is the best method of stealthing at this location; and

WHEREAS, on May 12, 2014, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the application for the Project and following the receipt of all testimony, closed the public hearing.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Calimesa does hereby find, determine and resolve as follows:

Section 1. The Planning Commission finds that the recitals contained in this Resolution and the information contained in the attached exhibits are true and correct.

Section 2. The Commission, in approving Development Plan Review 14-01, finds as follows:

(a) The proposed use is permitted within the subject land use district with the issuance of a DPR and complies with all of the applicable provisions of this Development Code;

FACTS: The project site allows Telecommunications Sites and would be consistent with the objectives, policies, land uses and programs specified in the Calimesa General Plan.

(b) The proposed use would not impair the integrity and character of the land use district in

which it is to be located;

Planning Commission Resolution 2014-06 May 12, 2014 Page 2

FACTS: The applicant is proposing to camouflage or “stealth” the facility by making it appear as a pine tree rather than just a large pole with an antenna atop of it, thus lessening the visual impact of the facility, as well as providing a screen wall around the equipment to match the texture and color of the main buildings on the site.

(c) The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use being

proposed;

FACTS: The applicant has reviewed the proposed site, as well as other potential sites, and has determined that the proposed site is best suited for the telecommunications tower and equipment in that it does not interfere with the need for additional parking at the site due to the fact that there is ample parking currently available at other locations on the same property.

(d) The proposed use is compatible with the land uses presently on the subject property;

FACTS: The proposed monopine is similar in size to other trees located on the property, and there are other stealth-telecommunications facilities within the Downtown Commercial District.

(e) The proposed use would be compatible with existing and future land uses within the

general area in which the proposed use is to be located;

FACTS: The new tower is to be located within the City’s Downtown Commercial District, where it is anticipated that there will eventually be tall buildings and other structures. There are also other telecommunication towers located nearby, both within the City of Calimesa and within the City of Yucaipa (opposite side of County Line Road);

(f) The proposed use is compatible in scale, mass, coverage, density and intensity with all

adjacent land uses;

FACTS: The proposed 65 foot-high tower (i.e. a cell tower constructed to resemble a pine tree or “monopine”) is located near other large trees that will resemble the tower, and there are other stealth towers within the same Zoning District boundary. The 65 foot poll is smaller than allowed by code, and because the equipment will be stored on and within the tower, there will be limited visibility of the antenna or related appurtenances.

(g) There are adequate provisions for water, sanitation and public utilities and services to

ensure that the proposed use would not be detrimental to public health and safety;

FACTS: The cell tower is adequately served by the appropriate public utilities. The proposed facility will only require electricity, which is readily available to the site. No other utilities are necessary.

(h) There will be adequate provisions for public access to serve the subject proposal;

FACTS: There is sufficient access to the site from nearby roads.

(i) The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan;

Planning Commission Resolution 2014-06 May 12, 2014 Page 3

FACTS: The project site allows Telecommunications Sites as a conditional use, and would be consistent with the objectives, policies, land uses and programs specified in the Calimesa General Plan.

(j) There will not be significant adverse effects upon environmental quality and natural

resources;

FACTS: There are no environmental resources which will be impacted as the cell tower is located on land used for Public Use, and the secondary use as a Telecommunications tower is considered “categorically exempt” under Section 15315 of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

(k) The negative impacts of the proposed use are mitigated;

FACTS: The new facility will be “stealthed” as a tree, and the equipment area screened by a wall that matches the texture and color of existing walls on the site. The monopine will have the appearance of a tree (at a distance), and will blend in with other pine trees that can be found on the same property.

(l) The proposed location, size, design and operating characteristics of the proposed use

would not be detrimental to the public interests, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the City.

FACTS: The design of the site is safe, functional, and environmentally sensitive to the surrounding properties and any grading, which will be minor, minimizes any potential environmental damage to the greatest extent possible. Consideration has been given, but not limited to, the following: Orientation and location of the tower and building; existing vehicle access; tower height; and the design of the tower and building.

Section 3. Based on the findings contained in Section 1 and 2 of this Resolution, the

Planning Commission hereby approves Development Plan Review 14-01, a proposal to install a new 65-foot tall telecommunications tower (monopine) and related equipment on City-owned property at 936 County Line Road, Calimesa. APPROVED AND ADOPTED, this 12th day of May, 2012. Mike Barron - Chairman ATTEST: I, Mathew Evans, the undersigned, hereby certify that I am the Planning Commission Secretary of the Planning Commission of the City of Calimesa, California; that Resolution 2014-06 was duly passed and adopted at a meeting of the Calimesa Planning Commission, held on the 12th day of June, 2014.

STAFF REPORT

CITY OF CALIMESA PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING

SUBJECT: Zone Text Amendment 14-02, an Amendment to the Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Program for the purpose of creating a Disabled Veterans Exemption to the Code.

APPLICANT: City of Calimesa LOCATION: Citywide Impact ZONING: N/A MEETING DATE: May 12, 2014 PREPARED BY: Mathew W. Evans, Community Development Director __________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution 2014-07 recommending approval of Ordinance No. 330, updating the City’s TUMF Ordinance by amending Chapter 18.105, “Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Program” §§ .030(G) Establishment of the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee – Exemptions to the Calimesa Municipal Code to add an exemption for Disabled Veterans Housing. __________________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND: The City of Calimesa is a Member Agency of the Western Riverside Council of Governments (“WRCOG”), a joint powers agency comprised of the County of Riverside, March JPA, and 17 cities (including Calimesa) located in Western Riverside County. Acting in concert, the WRCOG Member Agencies developed a plan whereby the shortfall in funds needed to enlarge the capacity of the Regional System of Highways and Arterials due to new develop-ment in Western Riverside County could be made up in part by a Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (“TUMF”) on future residential, commercial and industrial development. As a Member Agency of WRCOG and as a TUMF Participating Jurisdiction, the City participated in the preparation of a certain “Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Fee Nexus Study,” (“2009 Nexus Study”) later adopted by the WRCOG Executive Committee. Based on the 2009 Nexus Study, the City adopted and implemented an ordinance authorizing the City’s participation in the TUMF Program. In 2009, the City adopted the 2009 Nexus Study and Ordinance 302 [Ord. 302 § 2, 2009] to implement the TUMF Program in within the City of Calimesa.

Zone Text Amendment 14-02 Planning Commission Meeting of May 12, 2014 Page 2

Pursuant to the CMC Section 18.105.030(G), WRCOG, upon the recommendation of the WRCOG Executive Committee, now desires to amend the TUMF Ordinance to include the following exemption:

Exempt non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations who build new single-family homes specifi-cally constructed and adapted for qualifying severely disabled veterans injured in thea-tre of combat operations.

On April 7, 2014, the WRCOG Executive Committee reviewed the attached revised TUMF Program Ordinance template and recommended TUMF Participating Jurisdictions amend their TUMF ordinances to reflect the changes. __________________________________________________________________________ DISCUSSION: The revised TUMF Ordinance recommendation to exempt non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations from paying TUMF is specific in that it limits the exemption to new specially adapted homes for severely disabled veterans who are the recipients of a Veterans Administration Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) Grant or its equivalent. This short-fall is anticipated to be approxi-mately one million dollars and will be accounted for in the 2014 Network Update. The amendments to Chapter 18.105 are specified in the draft ordinance. ______________________________________________________________________ ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS: Zone Text Amendment 14-02 is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 (b) (3) because the project is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The exemption for Disabled Veterans Housing is not a specific development proposal and only exempts payment of certain fees associated with the TUMF program. ______________________________________________________________________ FISCAL IMPACT: None. ______________________________________________________________________ ATTACHMENTS: A: Resolution 2014-07 B: Draft Ordinance No. 330

RESOLUTION NO. 2014-07

A RESOLUTION OF THE CALIMESA PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF ZONE TEXT AMENDMENT 14-02 AMENDING CHAPTER 18.105 OF THE CALIMESA MUNICIPAL CODE TO INCLUDE NEW EXEMPTIONS FOR NEWLY CONSTRUCTED SPECIALLY ADAPTED HOMES FOR SEVERELY DISABLED VETERANS UNDER THE WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM MITIGATION FEE (“TUMF”) PROGRAM AND APPROVING A CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT EXEMPTION IN CONNECTION THEREWITH WHEREAS, the City is a member agency of the Western Riverside Council of

Governments (“WRCOG”), a joint powers agency comprised of the County of Riverside, the March Joint Powers Authority, and 17 cities located in Western Riverside County; and,

WHEREAS, Acting in concert, the WRCOG Member Agencies developed a plan

whereby the shortfall in funds needed to enlarge the capacity of the Regional System of Highways and Arterials in Western Riverside County (the “Regional System”) could be made up in part by a Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (“TUMF”) on future residential, commercial and industrial development; and

WHEREAS, upon the recommendation of the WRCOG Executive Committee,

now desires to adopt one new exemption under the Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Program Ordinance of 2009; and,

WHEREAS, the exemption is for newly constructed, specially adapted homes for

severely disabled veterans designed for maximum freedom movement and the ability to live more independently at no cost to qualifying disabled veterans; and,

WHEREAS, based on analysis by Staff, it has determined that the new

exemption, because of its small number of estimated properties, will not threaten the reasonable and rational relationship between the use of the TUMF and the type of development projects on which the fees are imposed because the fees will be used to construct the transportation improvements that are necessary for the safety, health and welfare of the residential and non-residential users of the development in which the TUMF will be levied; and,

WHEREAS, it has been determined that the adoption of this Ordinance is not a

project subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it can be seen with certainty that this action has no possibility for having a significant effect on the environment as this ordinance changes findings, fee exemptions, and fee credit procedures and standards; and,

ORDINANCE NO. 330

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CALIMESA AMENDING CHAPTER 18.105 OF THE CALIMESA MUNICIPAL CODE TO INCLUDE NEW EXEMPTIONS FOR NEWLY CONSTRUCTED SPECIALLY ADAPTED HOMES FOR SEVERELY DISABLED VETERANS UNDER THE WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM MITIGATION FEE (“TUMF”) PROGRAM AND APPROVING A CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT EXEMPTION IN CONNECTION THEREWITH

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CALIMESA (“CITY”) DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. Title. This Ordinance shall be known as Amendment No. 1 to the Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Program Ordinance of 2009” (“Ordinance”).

Section 2. Findings. The City Council makes the following findings in connection with the adoption of this ordinance.

A. The City is a member agency of the Western Riverside Council of Governments (“WRCOG”), a joint powers agency comprised of the County of Riverside, the March Joint Powers Authority, and 17 cities located in Western Riverside County. Acting in concert, the WRCOG Member Agencies developed a plan whereby the shortfall in funds needed to enlarge the capacity of the Regional System of Highways and Arterials in Western Riverside County (the “Regional System”) could be made up in part by a Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (“TUMF”) on future residential, commercial and industrial development.

B. WRCOG, upon the recommendation of the WRCOG Executive Committee, now desires to adopt one new exemption under the Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Program Ordinance of 2009. The exemption is for newly constructed, specially adapted homes for severely disabled veterans designed for maximum freedom movement and the ability to live more independently at no cost to qualifying disabled veterans.

C. The City Council finds and determines that the new exemption because of its small number of estimated properties, will not threaten the reasonable and rational relationship between the use of the TUMF and the type of development projects on which the fees are imposed because the fees will be used to construct the transportation improvements that are necessary for the safety, health and welfare of the residential and non-residential users of the development in which the TUMF will be levied. The City Council has also estimated the cost of the new exemption and understands that the TUMF fees will not be used to cover the fair share of these exempted properties or the Regional System.

-2- 12459-0001\1707136v1.doc

D. The City Council has determined that the adoption of this Ordinance is not a project subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it can be seen with certainty that this action has no possibility for having a significant effect on the environment. This Ordinance changes findings, fee exemptions, and fee credit procedures and standards. None of these changes will have a physical effect on the environment. Instead, these changes merely have a potential financial effect on land use applicants and the City, which effect is not subject to review under CEQA. The Ordinance is therefore exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (the “CEQA Guidelines”).

Section 3. Section 18.105.020 (Definitions) of Chapter 18.105 (Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Program) of Title 18 (“Zoning, Land Use and Development Regulations”) of the Calimesa Municipal Code is hereby amended by the addition of the following definitions:

“ “Disabled Veteran” means any veteran who is retired or is in the process of medical retirement from military service who is or was severely injured in a theatre of combat operations, and has or received a letter of eligibility for the Veteran’s Administration of Specially Adapted Housing (“SAH”) Grant Program.”

“ “Non-Profit Organization” means an organization operated exclusively for exempt purposes set forth in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and none of its earning may inure to any private shareholder or individual. In addition, it may not be an action organization, i.e., it may not attempt to influence legislation as a substantial part of its activities and it may not participate in any campaign activity for or against political candidates. For the purposes of the TUMF Program the non-profit must be a 501(c)(3) charitable organization as defined by the Internal Revenue Service.”

Section 4. Exemption for Specially Adopted Homes for Severely Disabled Veterans. Subsection (G) of Section 18.105.030 (Establishment of the transportation uniform mitigation fee), of Chapter 18.105 (Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Program) of Title 18 (Zoning, Land Use and Development Regulations) of the Calimesa Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows:

“G. Exemptions. The following new development shall be exempt from the TUMF:

1. Low-income residential housing.

2. Government/public buildings, public schools and public facilities.

3. The rehabilitation and/or reconstruction of any habitable structure in use on or after January 1, 2000; provided, that the same or fewer traffic trips are generated as a result thereof.

-3- 12459-0001\1707136v1.doc

4. Development projects which are the subject of a public facilities development agreement entered into pursuant to Government Code Section 65864 et seq., prior to the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter, wherein the imposition of new fees is expressly prohibited; provided, that if the term of such a development agreement is extended by amendment or by any other manner after the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter, the TUMF shall be imposed.

5. Guest dwellings.

6. Additional single-family residential units located on the same parcel pursuant to the provisions of any agricultural zoning classifications set forth in this title.

7. Kennels and catteries established in connection with an existing single-family residential unit.

8. Detached second units.

9. The sanctuary building of a church or other house of worship eligible for a property tax exemption.

10. Any nonprofit corporation or nonprofit organization offering and conducting full-time day school at the elementary, middle school or high school level for students between the ages of five and 18 years.

11. New homes, constructed by non-profit organizations, specially adapted and designed for maximum freedom of movement and independent living for qualified Disabled Veterans.”

Section 5. No Retroactive Effect. No provisions of this ordinance shall entitle any person who has already paid the TUMF to receive a refund, credit or reimbursement of such payment because of this new exemption.

Section 6. Savings Clause. Neither the adoption of this ordinance nor the repeal of any other ordinance of this City shall in any manner affect the prosecution of any violation of any City ordinance or provision of the Calimesa Municipal Code, committed prior to the effective date hereto, nor be construed as a waiver of any license or penalty or the penal provision applicable to any violation thereof.

Section 7. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this ordinance for any reason is held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the diction of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity or the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council of the City of Calimesa hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases or portions were to be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

-4- 12459-0001\1707136v1.doc

Section 8. Full Force and Effect. Except to the extent expressly modified or amended hereunder, all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of Chapter 18.105 of the Calimesa Municipal Code shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 9. Effective Date; Publication. This ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after its final passage, and within fifteen (15) days after its passage, the City Clerk shall cause this ordinance or a summary hereof to be published and or posted as required by law and by the City’s ordinances and resolutions.
