SEC. 13.18. "CUGU" CLEAN UP GREEN UP DISTRICT.

(Added by Ord. No. 184,246, Eff. 6/4/16.)

A. Purpose. This section sets forth procedures and standards for the establishment of the CUGU District. The purpose of the CUGU District is to reduce cumulative health impacts resulting from land uses including, but not limited to, concentrated industrial land use, on-road vehicle travel, and heavily freight-dominated transportation corridors, which are incompatible with the sensitive uses to which they are in close proximity, such as homes, schools and other sensitive uses.

B. Relationship to other Zoning Regulations. Wherever the provisions of the CUGU District conflict with any provisions of other Supplemental Use Districts, the underlying zone, or any other regulation, the more restrictive provision shall prevail.

C. District Identification. The provisions of this ordinance shall apply to all properties identified on the zoning map with a “CUGU” suffix on the zone classification. The CUGU District shall include all public and private land uses.

D. Definitions. For the purposes of this section, the following words and phrases are defined as follows:

1. Adjacent Property. A property next to, across the street or alley from, or having a common corner with the subject property.

2. Abutting Property. A property sharing a parcel or lot line.

3. Freeway. A divided arterial highway with full control of access and with grade separation at intersections.

4. Fugitive Emissions. Emissions not caught by a mechanically ventilated system or other capture system, which are often due to equipment leaks, evaporative processes and/or windblown disturbances.

5. Hedge. A row of bushes or small trees planted close together to form a fence or boundary; hedgerow.

6. Landscape Practitioner. Any person licensed by the State of California to design, install or maintain landscape or irrigation systems; or any person specifically exempted by the State from the licensing requirements in the field of landscape or land management; or any homeowner who designs, installs or maintains landscaping or irrigation systems on the homeowner’s own property.

7. Publicly Habitable Spaces. Any use containing one or more dwelling unit or guest room, as well as a school, park, recreation center, day care center, hospital, medical building and nursing home.

E. Qualifying Criteria. A project that satisfies at least one criterion under the “Project Type” list in Subdivision 1. below, and at least one criterion under the “Project Context” list in Subdivision 2. below shall comply with the provisions of this section.

1. Project Type.

(a) NEW. The construction of a new stand-alone building.

(b) MAJOR IMPROVEMENT. The alteration of any building(s) or structure(s) on a project site which does not expand the building(s) or structure(s), and for which the aggregate value of the alterations within any 24-month period exceeds 50 percent of the replacement cost of the building(s) and structure(s) on the project site, as determined by the Department of Building and Safety. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.23, the existence of a Major Improvement on a project site shall require the entire project site to be upgraded in accordance with all applicable provisions of Section 13.18 of this Code.

(c) ADDITION. The expansion of any existing building(s) or structure(s), with or without other alterations to the building(s) or structure(s), on a project site in which the total aggregate value of work in any 24-month period exceeds 50 percent of the replacement cost of all buildings and structures on the entire project site, as determined by the Department of Building and Safety. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.23, an addition shall be upgraded in accordance with all applicable provisions of Section 13.18 of this Code.

(d) CHANGE OF USE. The expansion of or change to a use on the Subject Use list.

2. Project Context.

A project that cannot comply with the requirements of the CUGU District may request relief through the Exception procedures set forth in Subdivision 3. of this Subsection.

2. Adjustments – Director Authority with Appeal to the Area Planning Commission. The Director or the Director's designee shall have initial decision-making authority to grant a CUGU Adjustment with an appeal to the Area Planning Commission in accordance with the procedures set forth in Sec. 13B.4.4. (Project Adjustment) of Chapter 1A of this Code.

(a) Limitations. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Sec. 13B.4.4. (Project Adjustment) of Chapter 1A of this Code, unless otherwise limited by the CUGU District, a CUGU Adjustment shall be limited to deviations of up to 20 percent from each of the quantitative development regulations.

If applicable, each adopted CUGU District shall indicate those development regulations which are not eligible for an Adjustment through this section. If an application requests more than one CUGU Adjustment, the Director may advise the applicant, prior to the application being deemed complete, that the request be filed and processed as a CUGU Exception, pursuant to Subdivision 3. of this Subsection.

(b) Findings. Instead of the findings set forth in Sec. 13B.4.4. (Project Adjustment) of Chapter 1A of this Code, the Director may grant an Adjustment upon making all of the following findings:

(1) Special circumstances applicable to the Project or project site exist which make the strict application of the CUGU regulation(s) impractical;

(2) The Project, as approved, is consistent with the purpose and intent of the CUGU District and substantially complies with the applicable CUGU regulations; and

(3) In granting the Adjustment, the Director has considered and finds no detrimental effects of the Adjustment on surrounding properties, the public, or public rights-of-way.

(c) All Projects seeking relief from any development regulation designated in the CUGU District as not eligible for Adjustment shall be processed through the CUGU Exception procedures listed in Subdivision 3. of this Subsection.

3. Exceptions – Area Planning Commission Authority with Appeals to the City Council.

(a) Authority. The Area Planning Commission shall have initial decision- making authority for granting an Exception from the CUGU District regulations with an appeal to the City Council in accordance with the procedures set forth in Sec. 13B.4.5. (Project Exception) of Chapter 1A of this Code.

In granting an Exception from CUGU regulations, the Area Planning Commission shall impose conditions to protect the public health, safety, and welfare; and to assure compliance with the objectives of the General Plan and the purpose and intent of the CUGU District. An Exception from a CUGU regulation shall not be used to grant a special privilege, nor to grant relief from a self-imposed hardship.

(b) Findings. Instead of the findings set forth in Sec. 13B.4.5. (Project Exception) of Chapter 1A of this Code, the Area Planning Commission may permit an Exception from a CUGU regulation if it makes all the following findings:

(1) The strict application of the CUGU regulations to the subject property would result in practical difficulties or an unnecessary hardship inconsistent with the general purpose and intent of the CUGU District and its regulations;

(2) Exceptional circumstances or conditions applicable to the subject property involved or to the intended use or development of the subject property exist that do not apply generally to other properties in the CUGU District;

(3) An Exception from the CUGU regulation is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right or use generally possessed by other property within the CUGU District and in the same zone and vicinity but which, because of a special circumstance and practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship, is denied to the property in question;

(4) The granting of an Exception will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements adjacent to, or in the vicinity of, the subject property; and

(5) The granting of an exception will be consistent with the principles, intent and goals of the CUGU District and any applicable element of the General Plan.

I. Severability. If any provision of this ordinance is found to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, that invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of this ordinance, which can be implemented without the invalid provisions and, to this end, the provisions of this ordinance are declared to be severable. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted each and every provision and portion thereof not declared invalid or unconstitutional, without regard to whether any portion of the ordinance would be subsequently declared invalid or unconstitutional.
