Roseville City Zoning Code

ARTICLE IV

Special Area and Specific Use Requirements Chapter 19.30

§ 19.30.010 Purpose.

(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014)

§ 19.31.010 Purpose.

The purpose of the Downtown Specific Plan Downtown Code is to direct public and private development consistent with the community vision for the Downtown Specific Plan Area. Redevelopment within the older areas of the City of Roseville presents unique development challenges. The Downtown Specific Plan Downtown Code is therefore a comprehensive document for the Downtown Specific Plan Area that provides detailed performance criteria and development standards that are intended to facilitate development while recognizing the area’s unique character. Key elements addressed in the Downtown Specific Plan Downtown Code include:
A. 
Permitted and conditionally permitted uses for various zone districts.
B. 
Prescriptive development standards including setbacks, height requirements, parking standards, and floor area ratios.
C. 
Development guidelines addressing buffers and adjacency issues, landscaping, entry monumentation, and public realm improvements.
D. 
Entitlement processes that vary from applications throughout the remainder of the City of Roseville.
E. 
Downtown sign regulations.
F. 
Details that define the character of the Downtown Specific Plan Area.
G. 
Downtown Specific Plan Area incentives.
H. 
Parcel specific considerations.
The Downtown Specific Plan Downtown Code is consistent with the City of Roseville’s goals, policies and applicable regulations and is intended to be the primary resource for development review within the Downtown Specific Plan Area.
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014)

§ 19.31.020 Definition.

“Downtown specific plan area”
means a 176-acre area encompassing historic old town, Vernon Street, and Royer and Saugstad Parks. This area is further defined in the Downtown Specific Plan.
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014)

§ 19.31.030 Downtown Code-Adopted.

The Downtown Specific Plan Downtown Code as amended by the City Council from time to time is hereby adopted and is incorporated into this chapter by reference as though it were fully set forth herein. A copy of the Downtown Specific Plan Downtown Code is available for use and examination by the public in the City of Roseville’s Planning Division and can be found on the City of Roseville’s website.
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014)

§ 19.31.040 Conflicts.

In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Downtown Specific Plan Downtown Code and the provisions of the Roseville Municipal Code, the provisions of the Downtown Specific Plan Downtown Code shall prevail. However, with regard to topics that the Downtown Specific Plan Downtown Code does not address, the provisions of the Roseville Municipal Code shall prevail.
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014)

§ 19.31.050 Violations.

A violation of the requirements of the Downtown Specific Plan Downtown Code is punishable as an infraction.
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014)

§ 19.32.010 Purpose.

It is the intent of this chapter to prevent community-wide adverse economic impacts, increased crime, decreased property values, and the deterioration of neighborhoods which can be brought about by the concentration of adult-oriented businesses in close proximity to each other or proximity to other incompatible uses such as schools for minors, churches, child or family-oriented business and residentially zoned districts or uses. The City Council finds that it has been demonstrated in various communities that the concentration of adult-oriented businesses causes an increase in the number of transients in the area, and an increase in crime, and in addition to the effects described above can cause other businesses and residents to move elsewhere. It is, therefore, the purpose of this chapter to establish reasonable and uniform regulations to prevent the concentration of adult-oriented businesses or their close proximity to incompatible uses, while permitting the location of adult-oriented businesses in certain areas.
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014)

§ 19.32.020 Definitions.

A. 
As used herein, the terms and phrases shall have the same meaning as defined in this section and in Section 9.11.020 of this Code.
B. 
Establishment of an Adult-Oriented Business. As used herein, to “establish” an adult-oriented business shall mean and include any of the following:
1. 
The opening or commencement of any adult-oriented business as a new business;
2. 
The conversion of an existing business, whether or not an adult-oriented business, to any adult-oriented business defined herein;
3. 
The addition of any of the adult-oriented businesses defined herein to any other existing adult-oriented business; or
4. 
The relocation of any such adult-oriented business.
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014)

§ 19.32.030 Minimum proximity requirements.

No adult-oriented business shall be established or located in any zone in the City other than GC, CMU, RC, M1, M2 and MMU, or within certain distances of certain specified land uses or zones as set forth below:
A. 
No such business shall be established or located within 100 feet of any other adult-oriented business.

The distances set forth above shall be measured as a radius from the primary entrance of the adult-oriented business to the property or lease lines of the property so zoned or used without regard to intervening structures.
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014)

§ 19.32.040 Amortization of nonconforming adult-oriented business uses.

Any use of real property existing on the effective date of Ordinance 3601, re-enacting this chapter, which does not conform to the provisions of Section 19.32.030, but which was constructed, operated, and maintained in compliance with all previous regulations, shall be regarded as a nonconforming use which may be continued until five years after the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter. On or before such date, all such nonconforming uses shall be terminated unless an extension of time has been approved by the City Council in accordance with the provisions of Section 19.32.050.
A. 
Abandonment. Notwithstanding the above, any discontinuance or abandonment of the use of any lot or structure as an adult-oriented business for a period of 60 days or more shall result in a loss of legal nonconforming status of such use.
B. 
Amortization of Annexed Property. Any adult-oriented business which was a legal use at the time of annexation of the property and which is located in the City, but which does not conform to the provisions of Section 19.32.030 shall be terminated within one year of the date of annexation unless an extension of time has been approved by the City Council in accordance with the provisions of Section 19.32.050.
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014)

§ 19.32.050 Extension of time for termination of nonconforming use.

The owner or operator of a nonconforming use as described in Section 19.32.040 may apply under the provisions of this section to the City Council for an extension of time within which to terminate the nonconforming use.
A. 
Time and Manner of Application. An application for an extension of time within which to terminate a use made nonconforming by the provisions of Section 19.32.040 may be filed by the owner of the real property upon which such use is operated.
B.

D. 
Approval of Extension—Findings. An extension under the provisions of this section shall be for a reasonable period of time commensurate with the investment involved, and shall be approved only if the City Council makes all of the following findings or such other findings as are required by law.
1. 
The applicant has made a substantial investment (including, but not limited to, lease obligations) in the property or structure on or in which the nonconforming use is conducted; such property or structure cannot be readily converted to another use; and such investment was made prior to the effective date of the ordinance re-enacting this chapter;
2. 
The applicant will be unable to recoup said investment as of the date established for termination of the use; and
3. 
The applicant has made good faith efforts to recoup the investment and to relocate the use to a location in conformance with Section 19.32.030.
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014)

§ 19.33.010 Purpose.

The Commercial Corridor Specific Plans include the Atlantic Street Corridor Specific Plan, the Douglas-Harding Corridor Specific Plan, and the Douglas-Sunrise Corridor Specific Plan (“Corridor Plans”). This special area district includes the establishment of procedures to implement the policies and development standards of the Corridor Plans and is the primary document used to guide development processes and permitted uses within the Corridor Plans. The special area district establishes permitted and conditionally permitted uses for various zone districts, standards for non-conforming uses and buildings, development standards and parking standards, and entitlement processes that vary from the processes established within Title 19 Article V of the Roseville Municipal Code.
(Ord. 6603 § 5, 2023)

§ 19.33.020 District boundaries.

A. 
Atlantic Street Corridor Specific Plan. Consists of approximately 73 acres of land and is generally bounded by Atlantic Street to the north, Shearer Street or the Dry Creek Open Space to the south, Interstate 80 to the east, and Folsom Road to the west.
B. 
Douglas-Harding Corridor Specific Plan. Consists of approximately 152 acres of land and is generally bounded by Lead Hill Road to the north, Douglas Boulevard to the south, Interstate 80 to the east, and Park Drive to the west.
C. 
Douglas-Sunrise Corridor Specific Plan. Consists of approximately 251 acres of land and is generally bounded by Lead Hill Road to the north, Coloma Road to the south, Rocky Ridge Drive to the east, and Interstate 80 to the west.
(Ord. 6603 § 5, 2023)

§ 19.33.030 Permitted uses.

A. 
General. Land uses within the Corridor Plans are implemented through application of zone districts. In recognition of the goals of the Corridor Plans this special area district ("District") applies to all Multifamily Residential (R3), Business Professional (BP), Neighborhood Commercial (NC), Community Commercial (CC), and General Commercial (GC) zone districts within the Specific Plan boundaries within the Corridor Plans. The district standards do not apply to any zone districts not listed in the tables below, such as the Single-Family (R1), Small-Lot (RS), or Two-Family (R2) Residential zone districts. The district customizes the permitted uses of general zone districts to reflect the unique nature and community character goals of the Specific Plan.
B. 
Permitted Use Types. Use tables are provided for each of the three Corridor Plans. The tables specify permitted uses, conditionally permitted uses, administratively permitted uses, and prohibited uses for certain zoning designations within the Specific Plan. Principally permitted uses (P) indicate that the use is allowed in the specified zone. Conditionally and administratively permitted uses require the granting of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) or Administrative Permit (A), respectively, as provided in Chapters 19.72 and 19.74 of the Roseville Municipal Code. Prohibited uses (-) are not allowed in the specified zone district. Use type classifications are defined in Chapter 19.08 of the Roseville Municipal Code. This district relies on the classification system and definitions established in the Roseville Municipal Code.
A zone district which is not listed within the tables below is regulated in accordance with Article II of Title 19. A use which is listed within the permitted use tables of Article II of Title 19, but is not listed below is generally prohibited. Where a use is not specifically listed in either Article II of Title 19 or the tables below, the Planning Manager may determine whether the use is generally consistent or of the same general character as one or more listed uses to determine whether the use is permitted. Existing buildings, structures, and uses permitted within the Specific Plan area as of the effective date of this chapter shall continue to be permitted and exempt from the requirements of this chapter as legal nonconforming.

For parcels within the Floodway (FW) and Floodway Fringe (FF) zone district, refer to Section 19.18.040 of this title.
D. 
Legal Nonconforming Uses. Existing buildings, structures, and uses permitted within the Corridor Plan boundaries as of the effective date of this chapter shall continue to be permitted and exempt from the requirements of this chapter as legal nonconforming. Uses which would require a Conditional Use Permit or Administrative Permit, but which were previously permitted prior to adoption of this District shall be deemed to have obtained the required Conditional Use Permit or Administrative Permit.
(Ord. 6603 § 5, 2023; Ord. 6954, 6/18/2025)

§ 19.33.040 Nonconforming use regulations.

A. 
General. The Corridor Plans include many properties where the existing use of the land is nonconforming, which means the use is not permitted within the underlying zone. In order to facilitate greater investment in and improvement of older nonconforming buildings and properties, this district provides for some degree of expansion of use. The following subsection B supersedes Roseville Municipal Code Section 19.24.020, Nonconforming Uses and Structures, for those properties located in the Corridor Plans.
B. 
Nonconforming Uses and Structures. A nonconforming use may be continued, and may only be enlarged or increased, or extended to occupy a greater area than that which it lawfully occupied before becoming a nonconforming use, as follows below. For the purposes of this section, expansion includes enlargement, extension, reconstruction, or structural alteration of a building or site.
1. 
Nonresidential Uses and Buildings Contiguous to Residential Uses. The use or buildings shall not be expanded closer to contiguous residential uses, except for landscaping. The use or buildings shall not be operationally changed or expanded in a manner which will subject contiguous residential uses to increased noise, odor, or other nuisance conditions. Expansions or enlargements of a use which meet these criteria are permitted with an Administrative Permit, provided they conform to the Specific Plan Design Guidelines. For the purposes of this section, “contiguous to residential uses” is defined to mean where the property is contiguous to: (a) properties with a residential zoning designation; (b) parcels designated as a public utilities easement or landscape easement which are contiguous to a property having a residential zoning designation; or (c) any other parcel of land upon which a building cannot be developed and which separates the subject parcel by less than 100 feet which is contiguous to a property having a residential zoning designation.
2. 
Nonresidential Uses and Buildings Not Contiguous to Residential Uses. A nonconforming use may be expanded or modified with approval of an Administrative Permit, provided the project conforms to the Specific Plan Design Guidelines.
3. 
Residential Uses and Buildings. The nonconforming use of a residential building in a zoning district where such use is not permitted may continue subject to the residential zone development standards requirements of Section 19.10.030(A) (R1 district), until such time as the building is condemned, removed, or converted. Subject to building permit requirements, enlargement, extension, reconstruction, or structural alteration of a building designed as a dwelling is permitted if such additions or improvements conform to all applicable provisions of this title, and the new construction does not expand the nonconformity.
4. 
Substitution of Nonconforming Use. A nonconforming use may be substituted with a different nonconforming use provided it has the same or a less intensive use classification, only upon approval of an Administrative Permit. Such a new nonconforming use shall be subject to the nonconforming use requirements listed above for residential and nonresidential uses, as applicable. For the purposes of this section, the intensity of a use classification shall be determined by the Planning Manager based on trip generation; parking demand; and nuisance conditions such as lighting, noise, or odor generation.

A parking reduction may be requested as part of design review pursuant to the entitlements and permit requirements section of this district.
(Ord. 6603 § 5, 2023)

§ 19.33.070 Entitlements and permit requirements.

A. 
General. These procedures simplify and streamline the development review process and remove barriers to reinvestment, particularly for high density housing and commercial reinvestment. These procedures are also applicable to project consistent with the Atlantic Street Corridor Policy 2.2 or Douglas-Harding Corridor Specific Plan Policy 1.5 regarding preservation and reuse.
B. 
Façade Improvements and Minor Alterations. Façade improvements and other minor alterations consistent with the provisions of the Specific Plan Design Guidelines will be approved through the Minor Design Review Permit process. Façade improvements include color changes and/or the introduction of new exterior building materials, doors, or windows; wall murals; the addition of exterior ornamentation such as awnings and lighting; or other exterior alterations or exterior remodels to existing buildings or structures. Other minor alterations include changes which are in substantial conformance with the existing site development and/or previously approved permit and do not create the need for new parking or affect existing parking or access designs.
C. 
Minor Additions and Minor Site Improvements—Nonresidential. An addition to existing structures that is no greater than 15 percent of the total existing building footprint on the site is considered minor, for the purposes of this section. Minor site improvements include changes to landscaping, lighting, utilities, parking, access, or circulation which do not require supporting technical studies such as a short-term traffic study, water supply assessment, or similar, subject to the discretion of the Planning Manager. Minor additions and site improvements will be approved through the Minor Design Review Permit process. At the discretion of the Planning Manager, this process may also be used for projects incorporating preservation or adaptive reuse, if applicable, as defined and described by the Atlantic Street Corridor or Douglas-Harding Corridor Specific Plan.
This streamlined process may only be used one time during the duration of the Specific Plans; subsequent additions will be subject to the City’s standard Design Review Permit or Design Review Permit Modification process. To qualify for the streamlined process, additions, site improvements, and associated renovations to existing structures will be required to enhance the opportunity of the building and existing onsite improvements to meet the criteria of the Design Guidelines (e.g., sidewalk widening) and must conform to design guidelines and standards.
D. 
Additions and New Construction—High Density Residential. Design Review Permits for High Density Residential projects (including vertical mixed-use projects) with a minimum density of 25 units per acre which are consistent with the provisions of the Specific Plan Design Guidelines will be processed consistent with Roseville Municipal Code Section 19.78.020 “Type A” projects, provided they conform to the applicable development standards and design guidelines. Projects which do not conform are not eligible for this process. If the property has existing site improvements, the project will be required to enhance the opportunity of the existing improvements on the site to meet the criteria of the Specific Plan Design Guidelines (e.g., sidewalk widening). Note that projects providing a minimum of 20 percent of the units for extremely low, very low, or low-income households are eligible to use the City’s ministerial Objective Design Standards process.
E. 
Parking Reduction. If an applicant believes the number of required parking spaces is not applicable, they may request a parking reduction pursuant to Roseville Municipal Code Section 19.26.030. However, where a parking reduction is requested as part of a Design Review Permit application for development or redevelopment pursuant to this district, the parking reduction will not require a separate Administrative Permit; the request shall be part of the Design Review entitlement.

B. 
Standards for Building Mounted Antennas.
1. 
Building mounted antennas and all other equipment should be in scale and architecturally integrated with the building design in such a manner as to be visually unobtrusive.
2. 
When feasible, colors and materials should match the existing building.
3. 
All equipment should be screened from public view.
C. 
Standards for Monopoles.
1. 
Substantial landscaping or other screening should be provided to reasonably buffer any adjoining residential uses from the potential visual impacts of the facility. Landscape screening should be designed to achieve its desired appearance in a reasonable period of time.
2. 
Guy wires or support structures shall not overhang any property line.
3. 
Any antennas attached to a monopole should be mounted as close as possible to the monopole as a means of reducing the visual impacts of the antenna structures.

(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014)

§ 19.58.010 Mitigation measures.

The Council finds that the existing stock of rental housing provides the majority of housing opportunities for lower and middle income households. A shortage of such units exists, and any reduction in the stock of such units would be incompatible with the goals of the Housing Element of the General Plan. Conversion of such units into condominiums often results in displacement of lower and middle-income households. It is the intention of this chapter to regulate such conversion and to mitigate displacement where conversion occurs.
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014)

§ 19.58.020 Condominium conversion defined.

Condominium conversion occurs whenever a multiple residential dwelling unit building or a residential housing project containing three or more dwelling units under the same ownership, or such a project that has been granted an occupancy permit is subdivided so that individual dwelling units are available for sale as condominiums within the meaning of Civil Code Section 783. The subdivision shall be processed in accordance with Roseville Municipal Code Title 18 and the Subdivision Map Act. (Government Code Section 66410 et seq.) All notices to tenants required by Government Code Section 66427.1 shall be given by the developer.
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014)

§ 19.58.030 Limitations on conversions.

A. 
Where Allowed. A conversion to condominiums shall be permitted only in the R3, multi-family housing district, residential mixed use district (RMU) and planned development (PD) district.
B. 
Minimum Community Vacancy Rate. No conversion to condominiums shall be accepted or approved when the City-wide vacancy rate for multiple unit housing, as determined by the Planning Manager, is equal to or less than five percent averaged over the previous four quarters prior to application submittal. If the averaged vacancy rate exceeds five percent, then an application for a conversion to condominiums may be accepted by the City. A request for conversion shall apply to an entire multi-family housing project and partial conversions shall not be permitted.
C. 
Determination of Vacancy Rate. The vacancy rate shall be determined by using information regarding vacancies within multi-family complexes of 50 or more units. Supplemental information on rental vacancies in multi-family complexes of between three and 50 units obtained by City staff, the applicant, or other interested parties may also be utilized if available.
D. 
Minimum Multi-Family Rental Unit Pool. No conversion to condominiums shall be accepted or approved if the current percentage of multi-family rental units (within complexes of three or more units) is at or below 15 percent of the total number of housing units within the City. Under no circumstance shall a conversion reduce the percentage of multi-family rental units below 15 percent of the total number of housing units within the City.
E. 
Applicants requesting a condominium conversion shall enter into a development agreement which provides for the following:
1. 
Affordable Housing Requirements. Condominium conversions may be permitted only when the following criteria are met:
a. 
Projects not already subject to recorded affordable rental obligations (“affordable rent component”) shall subject 10 percent of the units within the project to affordable purchase obligations, without City subsidy, as part of a conversion.
b. 
Parcels that have an existing affordable rent component shall convert the affordable rental units to affordable purchase units. In addition, a condominium conversion shall increase the total number of affordable units by a number equal to five percent of the total number of units within the project. However, the total number of affordable purchase units shall not be less than 10 percent of the total units in a project. The converted and new affordable units shall be provided without City subsidy.
c. 
Projects with an existing affordable rent component shall provide affordable purchase units in the same ratio of middle, low, and very low-income units as required by the project’s existing affordable housing development agreement. Without City subsidy, the new or additional affordable units as required by subsections (E)(1) and (2), shall be provided at a ratio reflecting the then current City requirement for middle, low, and very-low income.
2. 
Public Safety Services Assessment. All residential units converted to condominiums shall be included in a new or existing community facilities district for services (CFD-Services) to provide for costs associated with the provision of public safety services. Low or medium density residential units shall be assessed $285.00 per unit annually (baseline year 2004). High density residential units shall be assessed $186.00 per unit annually (baseline year 2004). The per-unit assessment shall be adjusted annually based on any increase in the City’s public safety budget, not to exceed an increase of four percent annually.
3. 
Community Benefit Fee. All residential units converted to condominiums shall be subject to payment of a one-time community benefit fee per unit. Said fee shall be paid at the close of escrow for each unit, or within 12 months from the recordation of a final condominium map, whichever is sooner. The community benefit fee shall be subject to annual adjustments above the baseline year based on the Construction Cost Index. The baseline year shall be the year 2004, and the baseline fee shall be $5,000.00. At the discretion of the City Manager, the community benefit fee may be reduced on a case-by-case basis for projects that provide a community benefit that is above and beyond the requirements of this title. The community benefit fee shall be deposited into the general fund and shall be allocated at the City Council’s discretion.
F. 
Lease Agreements. Upon the filing of an application for a condominium conversion, existing tenants living within a project seeking to convert to condominiums shall be allowed to terminate a preexisting lease without penalty. However, any tenant who terminates a lease prior to receiving a notice to vacate from the property owner shall not be entitled to relocation benefits as provided in Section 19.58.070.
G. 
Final Map Approval. No final condominium map shall be approved within a period of 90 days following tentative condominium map approval.
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014; Ord. 6198 § 1, 2020)

§ 19.58.040 Processing of conversion-Notice to tenants.

A condominium conversion shall be filed and processed with a subdivision map in accordance with Roseville Municipal Code Title 18 and the Subdivision Map Act (Government Code Section 66410 et seq.). All notices to tenants required by Government Code Section 66427.1 shall be given by the developer.
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014)

A. 
Plan Content. The tenant relocation assistance plan shall be prepared by the applicant and indicate how the applicant will assist tenants who are displaced or will be displaced in securing decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable replacement housing, not higher in cost than the rent of the existing unit being converted. The plan shall, at a minimum, include a specific commitment by the applicant to provide:
1. 
Leases with terms no less than 12 months for persons with permanent disabilities (as defined in 42 U.S.C. 423, or Section 102(7) of the Development Disabilities Assistance Bill of Rights Act [42 U.S.C. 6001], or 24 C.F.R. 8.3) or low-income tenants (defined as having incomes equal or below 80 percent of the County or the Sacramento Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area median income), either in the building being converted, or in alternative housing provided by the subdivider comparable in location, amenities, and cost to that being converted. Lease extensions may be granted and the length of such extension shall be based on individual tenant needs. Such permanently disabled or low-income tenants, that are 60 years of age of older, shall receive a lifetime lease in which the annual rent increase shall coincide with the increases as shown in the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program published for the West Census Region by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In the event HUD terminates the publication, rents shall be adjusted annually to coincide with the annual percentage increase for residential rent as shown in the “Rent, Residential” component of the Housing Component in the Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers in the Sacramento Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area.
2. 
Relocation assistance including, but not limited to, active assistance in securing replacement housing, not higher in cost than the unit being converted, for tenants who will be displaced, and a payment as determined by the Council to each household for displacement costs.

3. 
Families with children in grades K through 12 shall not be required to vacate during the school year.
B. 
Ownership Incentives. In order to reduce the number of tenants being displaced, the applicant shall consider providing incentives that would aid tenants in becoming owner/shareholders in the converted project. Any such incentives, including terms and conditions, shall be documented and filed with the application to convert. Incentives may include, but are not limited to, low-interest loans, reduced prices, application of a percentage of rent payment toward a down payment for purchase of a unit within the project, or other similar items approved by the Commission. At a minimum, the incentives offered to existing tenants for purchase of a unit within a project shall be equal or greater in value to the dollar amount of compensation provided to tenants who are relocated.
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014)

§ 19.58.080 Notice to new tenants.

§ 19.61.040 Demolition of significant buildings.

A. 
Permits Required. No person shall demolish or cause to be demolished any significant building without first obtaining approval of a Design Review Permit or Design Review Permit modification in the manner set forth in Chapter 19.76 of this title, unless the building is exempt from such permit, as described in subsection D.
B. 
Findings for Demolition. In addition to the required findings for approval of a Design Review Permit or Design Review Permit modification, all of the following findings shall be made, based on substantial evidence.
1. 
The proposed development could not occur without demolition of the significant building.
2. 
The proposed development will provide a substantial public benefit mitigating the loss of the significant building.
3. 
To the extent feasible, mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project to reduce the effect of the demolition.
4. 
The technological feasibility of maintaining the significant building and the economic cost of building restoration would preclude the owner from making any reasonable use of the property.
C. 
Mitigations for Demolition. Mitigations for the demolition of a significant building may include, but are not limited to, the following: preservation in place; relocation to another location on the same site; relocation to another site; reuse of architectural elements or building materials from the building; and archival photographic study of the building.
D. 
Exemption for Dangerous Building. The requirement to obtain a Design Review Permit approval shall not apply to any significant building that the chief building inspector determines is dangerous to the health and safety of the building occupants, neighbors or public, pursuant to Roseville Municipal Code, Chapter 16.35. The chief building inspector shall set forth in writing the reasons for the determination that the significant building is dangerous to the health and safety of the building occupants, neighbors or public, and therefore immediate demolition is warranted. Upon receipt of notice from the chief building inspector that the dangerous building has been demolished, the Planning Manager shall process an amendment to remove it from the list of significant buildings.

C. 
The State enacted SB 420 in 2004 to clarify the scope of the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 and to allow cities and other governing bodies to adopt and enforce rules and regulations consistent with SB 420.
D. 
The State further enacted SB 643, SB 266, and AB 243 in 2015 to further clarify the scope of the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 and to allow cities and other governing bodies to adopt and enforce rules and regulations, consistent with State law, for regulating marijuana distribution, cultivation, delivery, and transportation within their cities.
E. 
In 2016 the voters of the State of California approved Proposition 64 entitled, “The Adult Use of Marijuana Act”, which legalized limited recreational use of marijuana.
F. 
In 2017 the State enacted SB 94 to reconcile the Adult Use of Marijuana Act with prior State law on medical marijuana use.

(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014; Ord. 6198 § 1, 2020)

§ 19.66.010 Purpose.

A. 
Roseville’s native vegetation consists of valley grasslands with scattered native oaks and oak and riparian woodlands. Trees in the City enhance the natural scenic beauty, sustain long-term potential increase in property values, maintain original ecology, provide tempering of extreme temperatures, reduce soil erosion and increase the oxygen output of the area needed to combat air pollution.
B. 
For these reasons, the Council finds that, in order to promote the public health, safety and general welfare of the City of Roseville while at the same time recognizing individual rights to develop private property, it is necessary to enact regulations controlling the removal of and preservation of trees within the City and to reforest our urban environment.

A. 
Permit Required. No person shall conduct any regulated activities within the protected zone of any protected tree; or harm, destroy, kill or remove any protected tree unless authorized by a Tree Permit or as provided in subsection C.
B. 
Type of Permit.
1. 
Administrative Tree Permit. An Administrative Tree Permit is required for any regulated activity affecting one or more protected trees, when the regulated activity is not associated with a discretionary project, does not include the removal of a protected tree, and the requested encroachment does not exceed 20 percent of the protected zone of any individual protected tree.
2. 
Tree Permit. A Tree Permit is required for any regulated activity within the protected zone of a protected tree where the encroachment exceeds 20 percent of the protected zone, or where the regulated activity is related to a discretionary project. In addition, a Tree Permit is required for the removal of any protected tree, unless otherwise exempted by this chapter.
C. 
Exemptions. A Tree Permit is not required for the removal of a protected tree under the following circumstances:
1. 
Trees damaged by thunderstorm, windstorm, flood, earthquake, fire or other natural cause and determined by a peace officer, fire fighter, public utility official, civil defense official or City code enforcement officer, acting in his or her official capacity, to present a danger to persons or property.

The hazardous condition of the tree must be determined by an arborist. The Planning Manager must review the arborist’s determination and consider the location of the protected tree prior to approving removal.
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014)

§ 19.66.040 Tree Permit application processing.

A. 
Application Filing. Applications for Tree Permits not associated with discretionary projects shall be filed with the Planning Division. Applications for Tree Permits for regulated activities associated with a discretionary project shall be included as part of the land use permit and/or subdivision application for the discretionary project. All Tree Permit applications shall use the forms provided by the Planning Division, and shall include an arborist’s report as specified by Section 19.66.050, and a site plan with information as deemed necessary by the Planning Manager. The application shall also be accompanied by any application fee required by the City Council.
B. 
Site Plan Map. The requirement for a site plan map may be waived by the Planning Manager if the permit is for removal of dead trees or hazardous trees. A site plan map shall include the following information:
1. 
Physical Characteristics. The site plan map shall accurately portray the following existing and proposed features:
a. 
Property lines.
b. 
Streets, access easements and/or public or private driveways and other paved areas.
c. 
Existing and proposed buildings or structures, including eaves and other architectural features.
d. 
Setbacks of all buildings and structures from property lines.
e. 
Parking and other paved areas.
f.

g. 
Proposed grading and construction - including utilities, if available.
h. 
Existing and proposed grades.
i. 
Location of chimney(s).
2. 
Tree Locations. All protected trees located on the property must be depicted on the site plan map. Additionally, the site plan map shall indicate the exact location of the base and dripline for all protected trees within the project areas. A survey of the exact location(s) of the protected tree(s) trunks both horizontally and vertically shall be conducted by a professional engineer or a licensed land surveyor. The tree number(s) shall be shown on both the site plan and grading plan. The base elevation of each protected tree shall be shown on the grading plan.
3. 
Protected Zone of Protected Tree(s). The exact location of the protected zone of a protected tree is crucial in order to evaluate any impacts resulting from construction. Consequently, rough approximations will not be acceptable. In certain cases, it may be possible to physically stake the surveyed corner of building(s) or related improvements in the field in order to assess the potential impacts upon the trees.
C. 
Application Evaluation Criteria. The following criteria shall be used to support the finding identified in Section 19.78.060(F) for action on a Tree Permit requested to allow removal of native oak tree(s) or to encroach within the protected zone of any native oak tree(s):
1. 
General.
a. 
The proposed building’s gross floor area in relation to the “usable” size of the site and the amount of usable space on the parcel which does not require the removal of protected trees;
b. 
Design features in comparison with other existing or approved building developments in the same vicinity and zone which have or had protected trees on the parcel;
c. 
Factors that are unique to the proposed property such as topographic constraints, lot configuration and other physical limitations;
d. 
The overall health and structural condition of the potentially impacted protected trees;
e. 
The approximate age of the protected tree compared with the average life span for that species;
f. 
The number of healthy protected trees that a given parcel of land will support, with and without the proposed development;
g. 
The effect of removal on soil stability/erosion, particularly near water courses or on steep slopes;
h. 
Whether or not there are any alternatives that would allow for the preservation of the protected tree; and
i. 
Any other information the approving body finds pertinent to the decision, including, if necessary, information obtained at a public hearing.
2. 
For Removal.
a. 
Age of the protected tree with regard to whether or not removal of the protected tree would encourage healthier, more vigorous growth of younger similar trees in the area;
b. 
The number of existing protected trees in the area and the effect of removal upon public health, safety and general welfare of the area;
c. 
The potential for the protected tree to be a public nuisance or interfere with utility service, as well as its proximity to existing structures; and
d. 
Present and future shade potential with regard to solar heating and cooling.
3. 
For Encroachment. Whether or not the degree of encroachment is likely to result in the subsequent decline of the affected protected tree or create a future risk to public safety or pose a hazard to adjacent structures.
D. 
Discretionary Project. Any non-ministerial development project that must be approved by either the City Council, Planning Commission, or the Design Committee. Discretionary projects include, but are not limited to, Conditional Use Permits, parcel maps, rezones, Design Review Permits, subdivision maps, or variances.
E. 
Limitation on Approved Activities. Tree Permits shall not be issued for temporary parking or storing of vehicles, trailers, equipment, construction materials or temporary structures within the protected zone of a protected tree.
F. 
Permit Time Limits. An approved Tree Permit shall be valid for a period of six months from the date of issuance. An extension of time may be granted for a period not to exceed an additional six months. Tree Permits associated with discretionary projects shall be valid only as long as the approval for the discretionary project is valid.
G. 
Subsequent Permits. After all Tree Permit conditions have been complied with and occupancy has been granted or a notice of completion filed for a project involving a Tree Permit, the Tree Permit conditions shall be deemed satisfied. Any future work around the trees is subject to a new Tree Permit and pursuant to the criteria of Section 19.66.030.
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014)

§ 19.66.050 Arborist’s report.

The arborist’s report required by Section 19.66.040 shall be prepared in accordance with this section.
A. 
Minimum Information. The arborist’s report shall include the following information:
1. 
Identification of each protected tree by number;
2. 
Botanical name of tree(s) by tree number;
3. 
Common name of tree(s) by tree number;
4. 
Location of tree(s) by tree number;
5. 
Diameter at breast height (DBH) by tree number;
6. 
Height by tree number (optional);
7. 
Dripline radius by tree number (measure longest radius);
8. 
Condition by tree number; and
9. 
Recommendations for each protected tree by number.
B. 
Determination of a Tree’s Condition. The information on tree condition in the report shall be developed as follows:
1. 
Rating System. The condition of each tree is to be considered when determining a tree’s rating according to the following categories: excellent (it is rare that a tree qualifies in this category); good; fair to good; fair; fair to poor; or poor.
2. 
Factors to Be Considered. At least the following factors shall be considered in light of a tree’s life expectancy under existing and planned conditions when determining a tree’s rating:
a. 
The condition and environment of the tree’s root crown (also roots, if applicable).
b. 
The condition of the trunk, including decay, injury callusing or presence of fungus sporophores.
c. 
The condition of the limbs, including strength of crotches, amount of deadwood, hollow areas, and whether there is excessive weight borne by the limbs.
d. 
The condition and growth rate history of the twigs, including pest damage and diseases.
e. 
Leaf appearance, including abnormal size and density as well as pest and disease damage.
f. 
The dripline environment, including evidence of grade changes and presence of water courses or ponding.
3. 
Formulation of Tree Condition. Using an averaging of the above factors together with the arborist’s best judgment, the tree shall then be described using the above rating categories. It is important to rate the tree’s structural condition separately from the tree’s vigor condition if they are different. Root crown, trunk and limb ratings relate most to structure, while twigs and foliage, including growth rate, relate most to vigor. The structure of the root crown-trunk area is of primary importance and takes precedence over any other factor. This information should not be considered to be a formula but simply a guideline to help describe a tree’s condition.
C. 
Arborist’s Recommendations. The arborist’s recommendations shall be developed in compliance with the following:
1. 
Recommendations by Tree Number. Based upon the conditions and findings, recommendations should be made that logically follow the report conditions. For instance, if weak crotches are reported, cabling may be a logical recommendation to include in the report. These recommended mitigation measures should be spelled out and in some cases may even improve the tree’s condition ratings.
2. 
General Recommendations. Specific and general preservation measures to be taken for each tree not being removed. The specific recommendations must consider the impacts from the activities proposed.
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014)

§ 19.66.060 Standard policies and procedures for approved work.

Great care must be exercised when work is conducted upon or around protected trees. The purpose of this section is to define procedures necessary to protect the health of the affected protected trees. The policies and procedures described in this section apply to all encroachments into the protected zone of protected trees. All Tree Permits shall be deemed to incorporate the provisions of this chapter except as the Tree Permit may otherwise specifically provide.
A. 
Trenching Procedure. Trenching within the protected zone of a protected tree, when permitted, may only be conducted with hand tools or as otherwise directed by an arborist, in order to avoid root injury.
B. 
Cutting Roots.
1. 
Minor roots less than one inch in diameter may be cut, but damaged roots shall be traced back and cleanly cut behind any split, cracked or damaged area.
2. 
Major roots over one inch in diameter may not be cut without approval of an arborist. Depending upon the type of improvement being proposed, bridging techniques or a new site design may need to be employed to protect the root and the tree.
C. 
Ground Surface Fabric. If any native ground surface fabric within the protected zone must be removed for any reason, it shall be replaced within 48 hours.
D. 
Irrigation Systems. An independent low-flow drip irrigation system may be used for establishing drought-tolerant plants within the protected zone of a protected tree. Irrigation shall be gradually reduced and discontinued after a two-year period.
E. 
Plant Materials Under Oaks. Planting live material under native oak trees is generally discouraged, and it will not be permitted within six feet of the trunk of a native oak tree with a diameter at breast height (DBH) of 18 inches or less, or within 10 feet of the trunk of a native oak tree with a DBH of more than 18 inches. Only drought tolerant plants will be permitted within the protected zone of native oak trees.
F. 
Protective Fencing.
1. 
Type of Fencing. A minimum five-foot high chain link or substitute fence approved by the Manager shall be installed at the outermost edge of the protected zone of each protected tree or groups of protected trees. Exceptions to this policy may occur in cases where protected trees are located on slopes that will not be graded. However, approval must be obtained from the Planning Division to omit fences in any area of the project.
2. 
Fence Installation. The fences shall be installed in accordance with the approved fencing plan prior to the commencement of any grading operations or such other time as determined by the review body. The developer shall call the Planning Division for an inspection of the fencing prior to grading operations.
3. 
Signing. Signs shall be installed on the fence in four equidistant locations around each individual protected tree. The size of each sign must be a minimum of two feet by two feet and must contain the following language:
“WARNING, THIS FENCE SHALL NOT BE REMOVED OR RELOCATED WITHOUT WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION FROM THE ROSEVILLE PLANNING DIVISION.”
Signs placed on fencing around a grove of protected trees shall be placed at approximately 50-foot intervals.
4. 
Fence Maintenance. Once approval has been obtained, the fences shall remain in place throughout the entire construction period and shall not be removed, relocated, taken down, or otherwise modified in whole or in part without prior written authorization from the Planning Division.
G. 
Performance Guarantee. A minimum $10,000.00 deposit (or greater, if deemed necessary by the Approving Authority) shall be posted and maintained to insure the preservation of protected trees during construction. The deposit shall be posted in a form approved by the City Attorney prior to any grading, delivery of materials, or movement of heavy equipment onto the site, or issuance of any permits. Each violation of any Tree Permit condition regarding tree preservation shall result in forfeiture of a portion or the entirety of the deposit, at the discretion of the Approving Authority, provided that such determinations may be appealed as provided by Chapter 19.80.
H. 
Retaining Walls and Root Protection. Where a Tree Permit has been approved for construction of a retaining wall(s) within the protected zone of a protected tree, the developer will be required to provide for immediate protection of exposed roots from moisture loss during the time prior to completion of the wall. The retaining wall shall be constructed within 72 hours after completion of grading.
I. 
Preservation Devices. If required, preservation devices such as aeration systems, oak tree wells, drains, special foundation systems, special paving and cabling systems must be installed per approved plans and certified by the project arborist.
J. 
Grading.
1. 
Every effort should be made to avoid cut and/or fill slopes within or in the vicinity of the protected zone of any protected tree.
2. 
No grade changes are permitted which would cause water to drain to the area within twice the longest radius of the protected zone of any protected tree.
3. 
No grade changes are permitted which would result in the ground being lowered on all sides of the tree.
K. 
Chimney Locations. A chimney for wood burning fireplaces or stoves shall not be located within the canopy of the tree or in such a location that sparks emitted from the chimney may damage a tree.
L. 
Certification Letters. Certification letters are required for all regulated activities within the protected zone of protected trees, attesting that all work was conducted in accordance with the appropriate permits and the requirements of this chapter. The project arborist will be required to submit a certification letter to the Planning Division within five working days of completing any regulated activity.
M. 
On-Site Information. The following information must be continuously maintained on-site while any construction activity is ongoing for a project requiring a Tree Permit:
1. 
Arborist’s report and all modifications;
2. 
Tree location map with a copy of the tree fencing plan;
3. 
Tree Permit conditions of approval and compliance verification and inspection checklist;
4. 
Approved, stamped construction plans;
5. 
Tree preservation guidelines; and
6. 
Approved planting and irrigation drawings.
N. 
Information on Standard Policies and Procedures. The developer shall be responsible for informing all contractors, subcontractors and persons who will be performing work around protected trees, of the standard policies and procedures for working around trees and conditions of approval for the project’s Tree Permit. The developer shall provide all such information in writing.
O. 
Utility Trenching Pathway Plan. As a condition of the Tree Permit, the developer will be required to submit a utility trenching pathway plan for approval concurrent with approval of the project improvement or civil plans.
1. 
Contents. The trenching pathway plan shall depict all of the following systems: storm drains, sewers, easements, water mains, area drains, and underground utilities. The trenching pathway plan must show all lateral lines serving buildings. To be completely effective, the trenching pathway plan must include the surveyed locations of all protected trees on the project as well as an accurate plotting of the protected zone of each protected tree.
2. 
Standards for Plan. The trenching pathway plan should be developed considering the following general guidelines:
a. 
The trenching pathway plan must be developed to avoid encroaching into the protected zone of any protected tree.
b. 
Where it is impossible to avoid encroachment, the design must minimize the extent of such encroachment. Encroachments and mitigation measures must be addressed in a supplemental arborist’s report.
P. 
Final Certification of Tree Work. All of the tree preservation measures required by the conditions of the discretionary project approval, the arborist’s report and the Tree Permit, as applicable shall be completed and certified by the project arborist prior to issuance of an occupancy permit.
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014)

§ 19.66.070 Oak tree planting and replacement program.

The Approving Authority may condition any Tree Permit involving removal of a protected tree upon the replacement of trees in kind. The replacement requirement shall be calculated based upon an inch for an inch replacement of the DBH of the removed tree(s) where a 15-gallon tree will replace one inch DBH of the removed tree; a 24-inch box tree will replace two inches, and a 36-inch box tree will replace three inches. The replacement trees shall have a combined diameter equivalent not less than the total diameter of the tree(s) removed. A minimum of 50 percent of the replacement requirement shall be met by native oaks. Up to 50 percent may be met by non-native species. The Approving Authority may approve a replacement program using one of the following four methods or any combination of the four methods. The preferred alternative is on-site replacement.
A. 
Replacement Trees. Replacement trees may be planted on-site or in other areas where maintenance and irrigation are provided to ensure survival of the trees.
B. 
Relocation of Trees. In certain cases, the City may consider the relocation of native oak trees from one area in a project to another. Credit shall be given for relocation on the same basis as replacement. The guidelines and limitations for relocation are as follows:
1. 
The tree(s) being recommended for relocation must be approved by the Approving Authority whose decision will be based upon factors relating to health, type, size, time of year and proposed location.
2. 
The relocation of a tree shall be conditioned to require a secured five-year replacement agreement for the tree with security provided by the developer in a form satisfactory to the City Attorney. If at the end of five years the tree is deemed by an arborist to be in a substantially similar condition to that prior to the transplanting, the agreement will be terminated. If the tree dies during the five-year period, it shall be replaced as required by this section.
C. 
Revegetation Requirements. The Approving Authority may, instead of requiring replacement trees, require implementation of a revegetation plan. The developer shall enter into a written agreement with the City obligating the developer to comply with the requirements of the revegetation plan. A performance security or bond for 150 percent of the cost of the revegetation plan shall be required to insure that the agreement is fulfilled. The Approving Authority shall approve the proposed plan. The revegetation program shall propagate native oak trees from seed using currently accepted methods. A revegetation program shall identify the seed source of the trees to be propagated, the location of the plots, the methods to be used to ensure success of the revegetation program, an annual reporting requirement, and the criteria to be used to measure the success of the plan. A revegetation program shall not be considered complete until the trees to be propagated have reached one-half inch in diameter or the revegetation plan demonstrates the need for alternative success criteria and achieves mitigation on an inch for inch basis as approved by the Planning Commission.
D. 
In-Lieu Mitigation Fee. The Approving Authority may determine that the remedies described above are not feasible or desirable and may require instead payment of a cash contribution based upon the cost of purchasing, planting, irrigating and maintaining the required number of 15-gallon trees. The cost of purchasing, planting, irrigating and maintaining a 15-gallon oak tree shall be set by City Council resolution. The cash contribution shall be deposited into one or both of the following funds as determined by the Planning Manager:
1. 
Native Oak Tree Propagation Fund. This fund shall be used to propagate, purchase, plant, protect and maintain native oak trees. Uses of the fund include, but are not limited to, purchasing property to plant or protect native oak trees, propagating native oak trees from seed or container stock and maintaining existing and replacement native oak trees.
2. 
Non-Native Tree Fund. This fund shall be used to purchase, plant, irrigate and maintain non-native trees within Roseville. Uses of the fund include, but are not limited to, purchasing and propagating non-native trees from seed or container stock and maintaining existing and replacement non-native trees.
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014)
