Staff member Libby said many pop-up food operations are set up without permits, food-safety approvals, or business licenses. As an interim measure, code enforcement has been notifying property owners where such activities occur and asking for their cooperation. Libby said code enforcement identified locations, sent letters to property owners, and will return on Friday evening to close operations that do not comply. If the same location was previously notified, property owners will be subject to citation fines, Libby said.

When a commissioner asked whether the enforcement covered small fruit stands, Libby clarified that enforcement targets unpermitted temporary cooking and food-service operations that cannot meet county environmental health requirements.

No ordinance text was presented at the meeting. Staff said a revised mobile vendor ordinance will be prepared with the city attorney and return to the commission when available.","City staff said the planning department and city attorney are rewriting the mobile vendor ordinance; code enforcement has been notifying property owners of illegal pop-up restaurants and will return Friday evening to close noncompliant operations and issue citations to properties previously notified.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6546617,"Yuba City staff to draft overlay restricting new smoke and vape shops, off-site alcohol sales in downtown Plumas Street area",122,345000,467000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3619155-f33efe90205945a70c3f34d672cbd300&start=345&end=467","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3619155-f33efe90205945a70c3f34d672cbd300/thumbnail_345000.jpg","/articles/6546617/Yuba-City/Sutter-County/California/Yuba-City-staff-to-draft-overlay-restricting-new-smoke-and-vape-shops-off-site-alcohol-sales-in-downtown-Plumas-Street-area","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6546617-fdec91e38b7546e6f39405e1346e0976/orig.mp4?Expires=1775939400&Signature=RmGxrE0kaFqiM4voOIJXQTydnU00ntXHBxd1ivpzI8HzSKAiFSDhagKrI-BzU8KPZrBg3E6XVvIG1TcvNA23vsWmacrD0kMfjyxnU7d2VaiANSLFI0ao~xqIKtuMPnfQaXLgizxcEMSFWwJhUfql5JyVWsxRZjslyr1pFzJz2bl0W-qlt2XstOvA~fN4IeUUf3pCa-trbbvKNDPhuDfHWkHuZ5QOaNP0kaFaae4RdWDLDVNXN8ws9UWltHCpZQs-DFWYxmPi4G~W5H2aj7IPXSFlg3PlMmebq3KtZc5Pc5cHa51VmTG05uzPVGpVUKHe11kcjn-ekD02SGQlvXQxnQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Yuba City Council has initiated creation of a downtown overlay district that would prohibit new smoke and vape shops and some retail establishments that sell alcohol for off-site consumption within the downtown Plumas Street business area, planning staff told the planning commission.

Staff member Libby said the proposed overlay would apply roughly from Colusa Avenue or State Highway 20 South to Bridal Street within the downtown business area. Libby said the prohibition would cover new smoke and vape shops and retail stores selling alcohol for off-site consumption and added that, on the technical side, this would involve certain ABC license types. “On the technical side of things, that would be a typed, I think, 20 and 21 ABC license,” Libby said, noting uncertainty about the exact license types.

Libby said staff is preparing the overlay and expects to bring it to the commission for review in the near future. No ordinance text or formal vote was presented at the meeting; the discussion was a staff update on council direction and next steps.

The commission did not act at the meeting; staff said it will return with draft overlay language and a recommendation for commission consideration.","City staff said the City Council initiated work on an overlay district for downtown Plumas Street that would prohibit new smoke and vape shops and certain retail alcohol sales within the downtown business area; the overlay will be brought to the planning commission for review.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":102,"_47":103,"_49":104,"_51":105,"_53":106,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":107,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":108,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6546621,"Habitat for Humanity project in Yuba City faces funding gap; HCD grant ties complicate scaling back",0,278000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3619155-f33efe90205945a70c3f34d672cbd300&start=278&end=278","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3619155-f33efe90205945a70c3f34d672cbd300/thumbnail_278000.jpg","/articles/6546621/Yuba-City/Sutter-County/California/Habitat-for-Humanity-project-in-Yuba-City-faces-funding-gap-HCD-grant-ties-complicate-scaling-back","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6546621-792eae062949b500c6b01500fbc931c0/orig.mp4?Expires=1775939400&Signature=n6x4OYyzliVc81oXVosce-BDvZ7MXGD5pQMXIAtEfP7V8sb0DBVM9HOVodt-xVGsyvm~pFg3HT~C3nCfyYGJPlR15r8wnUaN61W8ALdooIoYrnxwe7L2elPA71YnRwtyRyOgpoK8madZHaWEsmoKCZpQmY98XbFCMvD1voe2r5BeBQamSc0hx2oXojmDEUexMH331jGR4qbldU2UircLBxknIUvnZjpYjdd-UL4lmDvnRJlIaH4uJWvMxNIUKGVzEW-1Kez6AmYsK1Ps2auGCTwVoVVO9DrR95NwiNtf5mSgErEk8tLwVQLwh3LrmTTLYTFIjBauFXhJucps-mdGtQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Habitat for Humanity’s proposed Merriment Village, a planned 217-unit multifamily development on Walton Avenue, is facing a funding gap for the project’s initial phase, Yuba City planning staff told the planning commission.

Staff member Libby said Habitat is working with banks and other partners to close the gap and that the city council has expressed continued support for the project. “It’s taken a long time,” Libby said, adding that construction costs and tariffs have pushed up project expenses.

Libby told commissioners the grant money the project received from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is tied to development of a specific number of housing units. Because of that requirement, Habitat cannot simply reduce the unit count for a first phase without affecting the grant amount, Libby said. “They don’t have the flexibility to say, okay, let’s just shave off a certain number of units and continue to build,” Libby said.

Commissioners asked whether a smaller Phase 1 could proceed independently; Libby responded that Phase 1 currently has a gap and that closing it is a focus for the applicant.

No formal action or vote on the project occurred at the meeting. Staff said they will continue to update the commission and council as Habitat works to secure financing.","Habitat for Humanity's proposed Merriment Village, a planned 217-unit multifamily project on Walton Avenue, has a funding gap for Phase 1.

A commissioner moved to approve items 2–5, another commissioner seconded, and a member responded “Aye” when the chair called for a vote. The chair declared the motion approved.
