Subject: |
ZTA 26-99 Public Safety Facility Allowed Uses Definition |
Recommendation:
title
Conduct a public hearing and find Zoning Text Amendment 26-99 exempt from further environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act, waive the first reading by substitution of the title and introduce an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Manteca, State of California, amending the Public Safety Facility allowed uses definition set forth in sub-section 17.24.020(D)(8) of Title 17 of the Manteca Municipal Code.
body
Background:
The proposed City-initiated Zoning Text Amendment would revise the Public Safety Facility definition in Section 17.24.020(D)(8) of the Manteca Municipal Code to expressly include ambulance and emergency medical services (EMS) facilities and recognize facilities operated by public agencies, special districts, or other authorized emergency service providers. The amendment would allow qualifying ambulance and EMS facilities to be considered under the existing zoning framework applicable to Public Safety Facilities, providing greater flexibility for the appropriate location of emergency response facilities while maintaining applicable land use, development, and discretionary review requirements. The amendment does not approve a specific facility or location.
Planning Commission Action:
On October 15, 2026, the Planning Commission, in a 5-0 vote, adopted Resolution 2026-41 recommending City Council adopt the foregoing as presented. A complete video of the proceedings, along with the agenda, staff report, and supporting documents, can be found via the following link:

Environmental Determination:
The Project is exempt from further environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines (Common Sense Exemption). The amendment modifies a land use definition and does not approve or authorize any specific physical development; therefore, it can be seen with certainty that the Project, in and of itself, would not result in a significant effect on the environment.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no General Fund fiscal impact.
