- PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AMENDMENT OF THE MENDOTA MUNICIPAL CODE BASED ON 6TH CYCLE HOUSING ELEMENT PROGRAMS: The City adopted the City of Mendota 6th Cycle Housing Element on October 1, 2024. The Housing Element includes programs within it in which the City commits to amending the Mendota Municipal Code to include development requirements for certain sites within the City. While these requirements were previously adopted as a part of the of the 6th Cycle Housing Element, staff is proposing a Zoning Text Amendment to add these requirements to the Mendota Municipal Code (which is required by the programs). Program 5 of the adopted 6th Cycle Housing Element requires that Site 1 (Assessor’s Parcel Number [APN] 01305045S), Site 2 (APN 01306109S), Site 3 (APN 01305012S), and Site 4 (APN 01306109S) of the 6th Cycle Housing Element sites inventory be allowed to develop owner occupied or rental multifamily projects by right if twenty percent or more of the units would be affordable to lower income households. Program 7 of the adopted 6th Cycle Housing Element sites inventory requires that Site 1 (APN 01305045S), Site 2 (APN 01219056ST), Site 3 (APN 01305012S), Site 4 (APN 01306109S), and Site 6 (APN 01220028) of the 6th Cycle Housing Element be allowed to develop by right if twenty percent or more of the development were affordable to lower income households. The Planning Commission will consider forwarding a recommendation on the Zoning Text Amendment to the Mendota City Council, as well as considering whether the action would be exempt from further environmental analysis under California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).
