HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem No. 3CITY OF L A E ' LSII OKE DILEA,M EXTREME REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION TO: HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: TOM WEINER, ACTING DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DATE: NOVEMBER 17, 2009 SUBJECT: ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 2008 -04; A REQUEST TO REPEAL CHAPTER 19.08 AND ADD A NEW CHAPTER 19.08 REGARDING WATER EFFICIENT LANDSCAPING APPLICANT: CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE: 130 SOUTH MAIN STREET, LAKE ELSINORE, CA 92530 Purpose The purpose of this report is to present information to the Planning Commission regarding Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment No. 2008 -04, which would repeal the existing Chapter 19.08 and add a new Chapter 19.08 regarding water efficient landscaping. The City's Proposed Ordinance would adopt the Local Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (the "Local Model Ordinance ") prepared bythe Riverside County Water Task Force ( "Task Force ") and endorsed by the Western Riverside Council of Governments ( "WRCOG "). This Text Amendment change is necessary in order to comply with legislation that requires all cities in California to adopt the State's Model Efficient Landscape Ordinance (the "State Model Ordinance ") or an ordinance that is as effective in the conservation of water as the State Model Ordinance. (California Government Code section 65596(c).) Historical Background In September 1990, California Governor Pete Wilson signed Assembly Bill 325 (AB 325) directing the California Department of Water Resources ( "DWR ") to adopt a State Model Ordinance by January 1, 1992. AB 325 further required that by January 1993 local agencies adopt their own local water efficient landscape ordinance, adopt the State Model Ordinance, or make a statement that due to water availability and other factors, an ordinance was not necessary. An advisory taskforce of interested stakeholders prepared a State Model Ordinance in ALFNMA 170A FtO. ?ALE I Or �� Text Amendment No. 2008 -04 November 17, 2009 Page 2 response to AB 325. According to the State Model Ordinance, cities and counties were required to enforce the ordinance as it applied to new and rehabilitated public and private landscapes that required a permit and on developer installed residential landscapes. The State Model Ordinance did not applyto landscapes under 2,500 square -feet, homeowner - installed residential landscapes, cemeteries, registered historical sites and ecological restoration, and mined reclamation areas without permanent irrigation systems. In 1992, the City of Lake Elsinore adopted the State Model Ordinance which was codified into the Municipal Code under Chapter 19.08. In 2004, the State of California passed AB 2717. This bill required the California Urban Water Conservation Council (CUWCC) to convene a stakeholder task force to evaluate and recommend proposals by December 31, 2005, for improving the efficiency of water use in new and existing urban irrigated landscapes in California. Based on this charge, the appointed task force adopted a comprehensive set of 43 recommended changes to the State Model Ordinance. AB 1881 In 2006, the California Legislature passed AB 1881, the Water Efficiency in Landscaping Act of 2006. AB 1881 incorporated many of the 43 recommendations made by the CUWCC. DWR has updated the State Model Ordinance to reflect the revised provisions recommended by CUWCC. AB 1881 requires local agencies, no later than January 1, 2010, to adopt the revised State Model Ordinance or an ordinance that is efficient as or more efficient than the State Model Ordinance in terms of conservation of water. The City's failure to act will result in the State Model Ordinance being automatically imposed. AB 1881 also requires the Energy Commission, in consultation with the DWR, to adopt, by regulation, performance standards and labeling requirements for landscape irrigation equipment, including irrigation controllers, moisture sensors, emission devices, and valves to reduce the wasteful, uneconomic, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy or water. In an effort to assist the City of Lake Elsinore in satisfying its obligations under AB 1881, the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District (EVMWD) and Western Water District (WWD) generously provided both monetary and professional resource support to staff for the processing and adoption of Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment No. 2008 -04 and a subsequent creation of a City of Lake Elsinore Landscape Guidelines document. The City's Landscape Guidelines will be created after the adoption of the proposed Text Amendment. Public Outreach On Thursday, September 18, 2008, the Planning Division forwarded a copy of the City's Proposed Ordinance to all members of the development community on file with the AGENDA ITEM 3 PAGE J OF I3S Text Amendment No. 2008 -04 November 17, 2009 Page 3 Planning Division, involved outside agencies, and members of the public. Also, staff placed a copy of the City's Proposed Ordinance on the City's home page so that members of the public could download a copy for reference. At a September 30, 2008 informational meeting, the Planning Division presented the City's Proposed Ordinance and fielded questions from members of the development community, members of the public, as well as outside governmental agencies. Questions ranged from: the effective date of the City's Proposed Ordinance, proposed plant and tree palette, applicability of the City's Proposed Ordinance to previously approved projects and specific plans, and types of irrigation required. Staff provided answers and information to the questions presented and the meeting was concluded. Since the September 30, 2008 meeting, staff has not received any questions, comments, or concerns regarding the City's Proposed Ordinance or anything that was discussed at the informational meeting from members of the development community, members of the public, or any outside government agencies. After the September 30, 2008 meeting, staff was notified that DWR would be drafting an "Updated Model Water Ordinance" which was more comprehensive than the original ordinance. At this time, WRCOG notified staff that they were creating a' WaterTaskforce," who would be in charge of drafting a model ordinance that meets the restrictions and requirements of DW R's revised ordinance. Therefore, staff postponed bringing forward the Ordinance until WRCOG released its ordinance for local jurisdictions in western Riverside County to adopt. WRCOG'S MODEL ORDINANCE Riverside County agencies expressed an interest in developing an ordinance in lieu of the State's Model Ordinance to better serve the regional needs and circumstances of cities within Western Riverside County. WRCOG asked the Riverside County Water Task Force to prepare a draft model water efficient landscape ordinance for cities within Riverside County. On June 26, 2009, the Water Task Force presented a draft Local Model Ordinance to WRCOG for consideration. WRCOG reviewed and endorsed the proposed Local Model Ordinance and encouraged cities within the WRCOG region to adopt this Local Model Ordinance in satisfaction of AB 1881. The primary benefit of adopting the Local Model Ordinance instead of the State Model Ordinance is that the Local Model Ordinance was drafted to take into consideration the unique needs of Western Riverside County. The Local Model Ordinance would allow for uniform implementation of water efficient landscaping across Riverside County's many jurisdictions. In addition, the Local Model Ordinance would achieve regional economies of scale by minimizing /eliminating the need for cities and counties to have to allocate limited staff resources for the purpose of creating individual ordinances. Furthermore, the Local Model Ordinance eases the burdens and costs on new development by having a single set of standards for the development community to comply with, rather than having a number AGEND ITEM PAGE OF gj Text Amendment No. 2008 -04 November 17, 2009 Page 4 of individual and disparate ordinances that essentially accomplish the same requirements set forth by AB 1881. According to a presentation made by the Task Force to WRCOG, the Local Model Ordinance is just as effective in conserving water as the State Model Ordinance. The Local Model Ordinance builds off of the 2006 Task Force ordinance which was designed to promote water efficiency in landscaping in Riverside County. The Local Model Ordinance eliminates duplicative tasks and promotes regional consistency. The Local Model Ordinance regulates water use on future and existing landscapes. Overall, the Local Model Ordinance ensures water supply. It should be known that the Local Model Ordinance, although drafted for Western Riverside County's needs and circumstances, meets all requirements for water efficiency requirements as outlined in AB 1881. Discussion of the City's Proposed Ordinance As indicated above, staff is requesting that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council repeal of Lake Elsinore Municipal Code Chapter 19.08 in its entirety. Thereafter, staff is requesting that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council adoption of a new Chapter 19.08 which will, among other things: • Establish provisions for water management practices and water waste prevention. • Establish a structure for planning, designing, installing, maintaining, and managing water efficient landscapes without a decline. • Implement the requirements to meet the State of California Water Efficiency in Landscape Act 2006 and the California Code of Regulations Title 23, Division 2, Chapter 2.7. The City's Proposed Ordinance shall be applicable to all new construction landscapes which are homeowner - provided and or homeowner -hired in single - family and multi - family projects with a total project landscape area equal to or greater than 5,000 square feet that require a building or landscape permit, plan checks or design review, and /or all other landscape projects with a landscape area equal to or greater than 2,500 square -feet and subject to discretionary permits, plan checks, design reviews, and /or approvals. Furthermore, to the extent that the City conditions a development project to require the preparation of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions ( "CC &Rs "), those CC &Rs shall incorporate a requirement of compliance with Lake Elsinore Municipal Code Chapter 19.08. More specifically, if CC &Rs are required, a condition shall be incorporated into project approval prohibiting the use of water- intensive landscaping and requiring the use of low water use landscaping in connection with common area /open space landscaping. Additionally, such a condition shall require the CC &Rs to incorporate provisions concerning landscape irrigation system management and maintenance. The City's Proposed Ordinance will not require any landscaping in common areas or open space that is intended to remain natural. AGENDA ITEM 3 PAGE 4 OF L3$ Text Amendment No. 2008 -04 November 17, 2009 Page 5 Chapter 19.08 will not to the following types of projects: • Any project with a total landscaped area less than 2,500 square feet • Registered local, state or federal historical sites • Ecological restoration projects that do not require a permanent irrigation system and have an establishment period of less than 3 years • Mined -land reclamation projects that do not require a permanent irrigation system • Botanical gardens and arboretums open to the public. In order to assist in the implementation of Chapter 19.08, the "County of Riverside Guide to California Friendly Landscaping" and applicable attachments (see Attachment 3) (the "County Guide ") will be utilized by City staff. The County Guide will be used until the City creates its own landscape design guidelines. The purpose of the County Guide is to present practical standards for landscape and irrigation design for projects. Additionally, the County Guide is designed to assist landscape architects, irrigation designers, contractors, planners, and the public in the selection of plant materials and irrigation methods. It should be noted that if the City's Proposed Ordinance is adopted, the Planning Division will begin working on City landscape design guidelines which will be tailored solely to the needs and requirements of the City of Lake Elsinore. Those guidelines will come back to you for consideration at a later date. As indicated above, the Water Efficiency in Landscaping Act of 2006 (AB 1881) requires local agencies within California, no later than January 1, 2010, to adopt the updated State Model Ordinance or an ordinance that is as efficient as or more efficient than the State Model Ordinance in terms of conservation of water. According to the information provided to the City by WRCOG and the Riverside County Water Task Force, the Local Model Ordinance is as efficient in the conservation of water as the State's Model Ordinance. Because the City's Proposed Ordinance adopts the Local Model Ordinance, it is also as efficient in the conservation of water as the State's Model Ordinance. Environmental Determination CEQA Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Initial Study was completed to analyze the potential environmental impacts of the City's Proposed Ordinance. The Initial Study concluded that the City's Proposed Ordinance would have no significant environmental impacts. A Negative Declaration has accordingly been prepared and was initially released for review for public review for a period beginning August 6, 2008 and ending on August 25, 2008. The City only received one (1) comment during the review period (see attachment 4). On August 22, 2008 the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District provided a letter to the City that they had "no comments" concerning the project or the circulated Negative Declaration. AGENDA ITEM PAGE 5 OF - L3 ?j Text Amendment No. 2008 -04 November 17, 2009 Page 6 Furthermore, on September 3, 2008, staff received a "CEQA Filing Fee No Effect Determination Form" from the California Department of Fish & Game (see attachment 6). CDFG provides jurisdictions this form as an assessment of CEQA filing fees for projects that have no potential effect on fish, wildlife, and habitat. Therefore, the City is not required to pay CDFG CEQA filing fees for Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment No. 2008 -04. Given the amount of time that lapsed between when the Negative Declaration was originally circulated and now, staff circulated the Negative Declaration fora second 20 -day review and comment period. That period ran from October 13, 2009 through November 2, 2009. No changes were made to the Negative Declaration from what was originally circulated. On October 27, 2009 the Riverside County Fire Department provided a letter that indicated that they had "no comments" regarding the Negative Declaration for Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment No. 2008 -04 (see attachment 5). MSHCP Amendments of land use and zoning ordinances are exempt from Multi- Species Habitat Conservation Plan ( MSHCP) review. Recommendation Staff recommends that the Planning Commission: 1. Adopt Resolution No. 2009-_, Resolution of the Planning Commission of the City of Lake Elsinore, California, Recommending to the City Council of the City of Lake Elsinore Approval of Negative Declaration No. 2008 -11. 2.

Additionally, the Landscaping Guide is de- signed to assist landscape architects, irrigation designers, contrac- tors, planners and the public in the selection of plant materials and irrigation methods that meet the objectives of Ordinance No. 859 and Ordinance No. 348. In order to conserve water in the drought prone state of California, legislation such as AB 325 and AB 1881 mandates the practice of water conservation. Riverside County's commitment to water conservation is exem- plified in the adoption of standards and the implementation of guidelines which result in a reduction of landscape related water usage County -wide. It is the County's goal to reduce landscape related water usage by at least twenty percent (20 %) per site, through implementation of this Landscaping Guide. To meet this goal, Planting Plans and Irrigation Plans shall be prepared using the Water Budget Formula found on Figure 2 of this document. 2. Who Does Ordinance No. 859 Apply A. On December 19, 2006, the Riverside County Board of Su- pervisors adopted Ordinance No. 859. This ordinance is ap- plicable to all discretionary permits and /or approvals for the following: I.

Calculation for the project's landscape Water Budget. (Section 6 of this Guide). lmn� ��E Water budgets are used to assist designers and governing authori- ties. They are a tool to verify compliance with the state require- ments for water conservation and they assist with water demand management. A water budget determines how much water a par- ticular landscape needs over a specified period of time. The Maximum Annual Water Allowance (MAWA) is calculated and compared to the Estimated Annual Water Use (EAWU) to verify that the project landscaping is not exceeding the allowed water use. The County of Riverside uses the formula and tables included in Figure 2 to determine water budgets. Figure 2, the information below, and the sample worksheet following are designed to assist you in calculating a Water Budget for inclusion in your Irrigation Plan. l .. A. Maximum Annual Water Allowance and Evapotranspi- ration Rate (ETo). ETo, or Annual Reference Evapotranspiration Rate, is the quantity of water evaporated from adjacent soil surfaces and transpired by plants in terms of inches for a particular climate zone. Your total square footage of landscape and ETo are essential components of the MAWA formula. Because ETo rates vary according to climate, the ETo rate must be identified for your project in order to calculate MAWA. ETo data is taken from the California Irrigation Management Information System (CI MIS). Table 1 on Fig- ure 2 will help you find your ETo for insertion into Space B of your landscape water budget formula. If your project is not within one of the weather station areas listed, use the closest representative station. B. Estimated Annual Water Use (EAWU). The formula for EAWU is calculated for each hydrozone separately, then the total of all hydrozones is divided by the Irrigation System Operation Efficiency (IS). In addition to the square footage of each hydrozone, the EAWU calculation relies on several other key factors. One is the average Plant Factor (PF) that is established by the WUCOLS III for plants that are considered high, medium, low, and very low based on their water requirements. For purposes of the Water Budget Formula, turf is considered to have a high water re- quirement. Refer to Table 2 to establish your PF for each hydrozone and enter the number in Space D of your Water Budget Formula on Figure 2. The water use requirements also vary according to regional climate zones. Plant categories used in the calculation must be from the appropriate WUCOLS Regional Zones as de- fined below and the corresponding Sunset Zones found on Figure I of this Landscaping Guide: Another key factor in calculating EAWU is the Irrigation Efficiency (IE). The IE is derived from measurements and estimates of the irrigation application method performance within controlled environmental conditions.

The final factor in calculating EAWU is the Irrigation Sys- tem Operation Efficiency. This number is derived from the efficiency of the controller. Since "smart" controllers are required by the County per Ordinance No. 859, the IS factor shall be 0.85. This figure has been inserted in the Water Budget Formula for you. An EAWU calculation must be performed for each hydro - zone within the proposed project. C. Finalizing the Water Budget Calculations. Add together the EAWU subtotals for each hydrozone within the proposed project, this will be the Sub -Total EAWU. Now, divide this number by 0.85. The resulting number will be the Total EAWU. Subtract the Total EAWU number from the MAWA. The resulting number must be positive. If the number is negative, then adjustments will need to be made to the Planting Plan (e.g. use more vegetation types that consume less water) and/or the Irrigation Plan (e.g. use more efficient application methods). A Water Budget Formula shall be completed and included on all Irrigation Plans submitted to the County. A blank Water Budget Form is provided as Figure 3 and may also be downloaded from the Landscape Review link on the County Planning Department website: www.tlma.co.riverside.ca.us/ planning. Correct installation and consistent landscape maintenance is para- mount to water efficient landscaping and water conservation. Regardless of the efficiency of the irrigation design and installa- tion, a landscape can quickly lose its efficiency and aesthetic ap- peal without proper maintenance. To ensure that the Planting and Irrigation Plans are installed properly and maintained throughout a minimum plant establishment period, the County Planning De- partment will conduct the following series of site visits: A. Installation Inspection Personnel will, at a minimum, confirm that the irrigation system is installed according to the approved Irrigation Plan, the soil preparation and landscaping is completed as indi- cated in the approved Planting Plan, the project has met its Conditions of Approval, and the performance security has Aoinm it : rn- 3 Inspectors will confirm that plants are installed per approved plans and are thriving.

Upon successful completion of this Installation Inspection, a Certificate of Completion will be issued to the project applicant. B. Six Month Establishment Inspection Personnel will, at a minimum, confirm that the irrigation system is operating at its maximum efficiency, the plantings are alive, the current irrigation schedule is posted in the con- troller, and any replacement components of either the land- scape or irrigation reflect the original approved Irrigation and Planting Plans. C. One Year Post - Establishment Inspection Personnel will, at a minimum, perform an irrigation audit to confirm that the irrigation system is functioning properly and operating at its maximum level of efficiency, verify that plants are established and thriving, and ensure that the post - establishment irrigation schedule is programmed and posted in the controller, and confirm that any remaining Conditions of Approval are met. If components of either the irrigation system or the landscape have been replaced, personnel will confirm that their replacement components reflect the origi- nal approved Irrigation and Planting Plans. Upon successful completion of the Post - Establishment Inspection, the land - scaping/irrigation component of the performance bond will be deemed complete. At the Planning Director's discretion, projects may be re- quired to maintain an annual maintenance inspection sched- ule to ensure that the following obligations are met: 1. Smart controllers are monitored and adjusted for maximum operating efficiency and irrigation appli- cation equipment is calibrated to provide maximum efficiency. 2. Non - functioning irrigation and hardscape compo- nents are replaced with identical or better compo- nents. 3. Plant materials that fail to thrive are replaced with identical plant materials or those with similar water requirements. 4. Minimum mulching levels are maintained. 5. Plants are pruned to eliminate irrigation application interference.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact" or as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. ❑ Aesthetics ❑ Biological Resources ❑ Hazards & Hazardous Materials ❑ Mineral Resources ❑ Public Services ❑ Utilities /Service Systems ❑ Agricultural Resources ❑ Cultural Resources ❑ Hydrology/Water Quality ❑ Noise ❑ Air Quality ❑ Geology /Soils ❑ Land Use /Planning ❑ Population /Housing ❑ Recreation ❑Traffic ❑ Mandatory Findings of Significance DETERMINATION: (To be completed by the Lead Agency) On the basis of this initial evaluation: ® I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. ❑ I find that although the project could have a significant effect on the environment there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be.prepared. ❑ 1 find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. ❑ I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact' or "potentially significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. ❑ I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required.

A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact' answer should be explained where it is based on project - specific factors as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project - specific screening analysis). 2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off -site as well as on -site, cumulative as well as project - level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. 3. Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. 'Potentially Significant Impact' is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact' entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4. "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from 'Potentially Significant Impact' to a "Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from "Earlier Analyses," cited in support of conclusions reached in other sections may be cross - referenced). 5. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following: a. Earlier Analysis Used — Identify and state where they are available for review. b. Impacts Adequately Addressed — Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. c. Mitigation Measures —For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site - specific conditions for the project. 6. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. 7. Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8. The explanation of each issue should identify: a) The significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance.
