BACKGROUND The City of Santa Clarita (City) annually receives CDBG Entitlement funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The 2011-2012 CDBG entitlement allocation is $1,023,763. This amount represents an expected decrease of $205,117 from the 2010-2011 allocation. (Approximately 16.5% less than previous year allocation). HUD requires that CDBG funds be used primarily to benefit low- and moderate -income individuals in any or all of the following areas: decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities. In addition, the City's 2009-2013 Consolidated Plan identifies the areas of affordable housing, infrastructure, and administration as high priorities for funding. Supportive human services and economic development are identified as medium priorities for funding. In order to receive the 2011-2012 CDBG entitlement funds, HUD typically requires the submission of an AAP forty five (45) days prior to the start of the City's fiscal year. Because allocations were not released in time to meet the May 15, 2011 requirement, HUD granted an extension to submit the AAP by June 30, 2011. The AAP identifies how the City will use the 2011-2012 CDBG entitlement funds to meet the goals and priorities contained in the 2009-2013 Consolidated Plan. The AAP also contains funding recommendations, a description of the programs and projects to be undertaken in the coming year, and service goals. See the attached recommended funding levels for a complete listing of recommendations. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS Other actions as directed by the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT Due to an approximate 16.5% decrease to the overall funding of the CDBG program at the federal level, the City of Santa Clarita's program has made budget cuts consistent with the decrease. The 2011-2012 CDBG budget will not result in a negative impact to the General Fund.

Third Program Year Action Plan 29 Version 2.0 Agenda Item: 10 CITY OF SANTA CLARITA AGENDA REPORT CONSENT CALENDAR City Manager Approval: . .Item to be presented by: Erin Lay DATE: June 14, 2011 SUBJECT: SUBMISSION OF THE DRAFT 2011-2012 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN (AAP) AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS DEPARTMENT: . Community Development RECOMMENDED ACTION City Council approve the Draft 2011-2012 Annual Action Plan (AAP) and the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding recommendations contained therein, and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all required documents, subject to the approval of the City Attorney. BACKGROUND The City of Santa Clarita (City) annually receives CDBG Entitlement funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The 2011-2012 CDBG entitlement allocation is $1,023,763. This amount represents an expected decrease of $205,117 from the 2010-2011 allocation. (Approximately 16.5% less than previous year allocation). HUD requires that CDBG funds be used primarily to benefit low- and moderate -income individuals in any or all of the following areas: decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities. In addition, the City's 2009-2013 Consolidated Plan identifies the areas of affordable housing, infrastructure, and administration as high priorities for funding. Supportive human services and economic development are identified as medium priorities for funding. In order to receive the 2011-2012 CDBG entitlement funds, HUD typically . requires the submission of an AAP forty five (45) days prior to the start of'the City's fiscal year. Because allocations were not released in time to.meet the May 15, 2011 requirement, HUD granted an extension to submit the AAP by June 30, 2011 The AAP identifies how the City will use the 2011 2012 CDBG entitlement funds to meet the goals and priorities contained in the 2009-2013 Consolidated Plan. The AAP also contains funding recommendations, a description of the programs and projects to be undertaken in the coming year, and service goals. See the attached recommended funding levels for a complete listing of recommendations. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS Other actions as directed by the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT Due to an approximate 16.5% decrease to.the overall funding of the CDBG program at the federal level, the City of Santa Clarita's program has made budget cuts consistent with the decrease. The 2011-2012 CDBG budget will not result in a negative impact to the General Fund.

The sections examined data from a variety of sources including key informant interviews; public survey; review and analysis of data on fair housing complaints, legal cases, mortgage lending data, foreclosure data and subprime lending data; as well as a review of land use and housing policy for the county and participating jurisdictions. The following impediments to fair housing choice were identified through this research: Impediment 1—Limited information about fair housing resources. There is currently a lack of information available to City residents about fair housing. The City's website does not currently contain information about housing discrimination, nor does it provide any information about the San Fernando Valley Fair Housing Council. As such, City residents may simply not be aware of their rights as tenants and homeowners, and they may not know whom to contact if they experience housing discrimination. Impediment 2—Insufficient affordable housing. There are currently unmet affordable housing needs for the City's lowest income residents. Very few renters are able to afford large rental units in the City, which can lead to overcrowding, particularly for large families. Additionally, renters have difficulty entering into the for sale market. The Los Angeles County Housing Authority currently has one facility in the City and very few Section 8 vouchers are being used in the City, relative to the City's population. As such, this provides very little affordability relief to residents. BBC RESEARCH SL CONSULTING SECTION V, PAGE 3 The City has been successful in accumulating affordable and subsidized rental units through other mechanisms, however. Although not owned or operated by the City, a number of complexes have affordable units available to residents. There are currently 560 units available in complexes throughout the City.' Additionally, 807 affordable senior housing units are located within the City, in addition to 150 units of affordable senior housing just outside the City's borders with access to the City's seniors. The City is not alone in having unmet needs at the lowest end of its income spectrum. However, this should not deter the City from addressing the gap and continuing in what has already been successful efforts to continue in its production of affordable units. Impediment 3—NIMBYism and Opportunistic Residents. An interview with a local affordable housing developer revealed two forms of NIMBYism within the City: Some residents are concerned that the development of affordable housing will adversely affect their home values. Other residents, aware of the difficulty of assembling enough parcels for affordable development, are charging more than market value for the sale of their property. In both cases, the lack of cooperation of the public in developing affordable housing makes development difficult. Recommended Fair Housing Action Plan Action Item 1—Raise the visibility of fair housing and the complaint process. The City currently outsources its fair housing activities to the San Fernando Valley Fair Housing Council. Although outsourcing minimizes staff time and resources by employing an organization that specializes in fair housing, City residents may not be aware of the organization when needing a fair . housing resource. Resident surveys indicated that the Los Angeles County Housing Authority or HUD are the resources many residents would use when experiencing discrimination. Resident surveys also indicated that the Internet is a widely used and accessible tool to many residents seeking information. The only information linked from the City's fair housing page is the current Al. The City needs to provide information and resources for residents about fair housing issues. The City should consider the following additions to their website: M Have resources available in Spanish and English Have a simple explanation, either in video or text format, as to what qualifies as housing discrimination. Provide links that residents could click on for more information and with contact information if residents believe they have been discriminated against. We recommend, at a minimum, providing links to: . > San Fernando Fair Housing Council: http://www.fairhousingcouncil.org/. Currently, the website is under construction. However, City staff should urge the Council to improve their website so that local residents can become familiar with the organization. ''nttp://www.Santa-clarita-com/citvhalI/cd/housing/housing4.asp BBC RESEARCH & CONSULTING SECTION V, PAGE 4 > State of California Department of Fair Employment and Housing: http://www. dfeh.ca.gov/DFEH/default/ HUD's fair housing information page at http://www.hud.gov/offices/fheo/FHLaws/index.cfm and HUD's webpage that contains information and a form to file a fair housing complaint (http://www.hud.gov/complaints/housediscrim.cfm) . Action Item 2. Develop an Affordable Housing Vision Unless a city envisions where affordable housing could be placed prior to adopting residential zoning districts, optimal locations for affordable housing development and current zoning may not be in tune. Other communities with similar zoning mechanisms, such as Ventura, California, had already planned the location and quantity of its affordable housing prior to adopting its form controls. Thus, zoning was selected with affordable housing in mind. Unless the City went through a similar process, current zoning may not be in place and changes to zoning code may not be approved, as approval processes provide an opportunity for resident opposition. The City has successfully worked with Los Angeles County to develop the One City One Vision General Plan, which provides cohesive zoning and land -use designations for both City and County land currently located within the Santa Clarita area. The City should continue interacting with the County and other county -wide entities, such as the Los Angeles County Housing Authority, to develop opportunities for future affordable housing production. Twenty-five parcels of land were identified as suitable for future residential development as part of the General Plan's Housing Element. The City and County should focus on these parcels to develop a strategic affordable housing plan by examining ownership of the parcels and begin a plan to either acquire land or work with current owners or interested developers in developing affordable housing and mixed-use developments. Also, the City should establish goals for reaching deeper levels of affordability (e.g., number of affordable units created each year, proportion of for sale units that are affordable) . The City should also continue working with its redevelopment agency, the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Clarita, to implement its 5 -Year Implementation Plan, and 10 -Year Affordable Housing Plan for the Newhall Project Area. Because Santa Clarita's planning and zoning mechanisms are relatively new and innovative, with little precedence in how they foster affordable housing development, a comprehensive affordable housing vision is imperative. Since each plan mentioned above has a different objective (long-range planning, dDwntown redevelopment), it is important to consider them in aggregate with regards to their impact on the City's affordable housing stock. When considered in aggregate, the City's vision will include a comprehensive plan to increasing affordable housing by building new or preserving homes in the older portions of town downtown via revitalization or by capturing affordable units via new growth. BBC RESEARCH & CONSULTING SECTION V, GAGE 5 Action Item Number 3. Continue to make affordable housing a priority. The City will have to make a concerted effort to ensure that affordability is injected into its desirable, expensive housing market. The following outlines a number of potential policies and tools the City could adopt to help finance affordable housing development, particularly -by decreasing.land-costs for -.developers. Many of these suggestions are provided in the City's Housing Element. The policies highlighted here are those that BBC most strongly supports and believes will have the greatest impact in affordable housing creation. In general, the City should prioritize which policies they think are feasible, both economically and politically, and actively employ those tools. Point system for evaluation projects.. Miami, Florida and Lawrence, Kansas, which have both adopted form -based zoning, have developed a point system for project evaluation. For every criteria met by a project, additional bonuses are received. Thus, the more aggressive the project is in creating public benefits, the more economic benefits developers receive to cut costs or increase revenue potential. In Lawrence, Kansas, points are earned' for the following: ■ Moderately priced dwelling units (i.e., affordable workforce housing) ■ Mix of housing types ® Proximity to transit and/or a major intersection ■ Redevelopment of an existing center with existing infrastructure ■ Green roof or roof top garden ® LEED certified structures ® Protection of sensitive land features By meeting some or all.of these criteria, developers earn density bonuses, increased building coverage maximums, increased building height allowanced, reduced parking requirements and increased impervious surface maximums. Inclusionary Zoning ordinance (IZO). Inclusionary zoning is currently employed by a number of high cost California communities, such as Santa Barbara, San Diego, Sacramento and San Francisco. Inclusionary zoning could work well in the City, primarily because multifamily products all over the City are priced high enough to justify buying an affordable unit. Additionally, in many communities, developers buy out of inclusionary zoning requirements with a cash in lieu payment. Revenue generated from cash in lieu could be used to aid in land assembly in its downtown redevelopment project as well as to support affordable'housing creation. Land bank. Land banking is a program whereby land is acquired by a division of government or nonprofit with the purpose of developing affordable/workforce housing or engaging in revitalization activities. After a holding period, the land is sold to a nonprofit or private developer, often at a price lower than market, who agrees to specified land use conditions (e.g., creation of affordable/workforce housing). Land bank programs can serve dual purposes. While some programs are created solely for the acquisition of land for future affordable housing development, others have broader long-term BBC RESEARCH & CONSULTING SECTION V, PAGE 6 community planning goals. In distressed communities, land banking programs allow cities to acquire vacant and underperforming parcels to be catalysts for redevelopment, and to benefit from increased tax revenues from the properties. In communities with rapidly rising land costs, land banking programs promise a long-term savings to taxpayers: for example, when public buildings need to be constructed, they can be built at less than the current market cost due to the earlier acquisition of the property by the land bank. The City should consider establishing a land bank to which private property may be donated (with potential tax benefits) and public property may be purchased and held for future affordable housing development. The City can also purchase appropriate parcels to add to the land bank as they become available. The City should explore partnerships with the school district, municipalities, utility companies and other public landowners to donate the land for affordable housing in exchange for a certain proportion of the units that have first right of refusal to public sector employees (e.g., teachers) . The City's Housing Element also suggested graduated density zoning, particularly in redevelopment areas, as well as small lot subdivisions, which could provide increased affordability. Action Item 4. Continue to focus on existing units as a source of affordable housing. The City has historically coupled its affordable housing efforts with its redevelopment efforts. Old Town Newhall is at the center of the City's redevelopment efforts. The Newhall Project Area offers 270 acres of mixed -used development where.the City would most likely approve high density development. However, because the City has concentrated its redevelopment efforts, an incentive exists for local business and homeowners to charge higher than market rates for the sale of their properties because of increased demand. This makes land acquisition difficult and expensive for local developers. This is not an uncommon challenge for communities in their efforts for redevelopment and neighborhood revitalization. To offset these redevelopment challenges, the City should focus on rehabilitating existing affordable housing and commercial units downtown. This would help decentralize efforts at creating affordable housing while also maintaining its current affordable units in parts of town that capitalize on urban amenities, such as public transportation, grocery stores and health services. A variety of tools can be used to assist in this process, which are included as part of the City's 2009-2013 Consolidated Plan. The City's homeowner rehabilitation programs can be used to keep existing low-income owners, such as senior citizens, in their homes. Marketing of these programs to City residents should continue. The City should continue to investigate rental rehabilitation programs, as well as other programs, such as tenant based rental assistance (TBRA) programs to provide low-income renters with greater housing options in Santa Clarita's existing housing stock. Action Item 5. Educate HOAs about fair housing laws. The Fair Housing Council currently does a sufficient Job working with HOAs and the real estate community to educate their professionals on fair housing issues to avoid inadvertent discriminatory activities due to HOA rules and regulations. However, it is strongly recommended that the Fair Housing Council of the San Fernando Valley expand its education and outreach efforts to provide training for City Planning Division staff who review development applications, and Citv Engineering Division staff who review Conditions, Covenants, and Restrictions (CC&R's) submitted as part of the tract map approval process. With additional training and expertise, City staff could offer counsel to HOAs as they consider issues of fair housing, such as accessibility. BBC RESEARCH & CONSULTING SECTION V, PAGE 7 Action Item 6. Continue to work collaboratively with the County to strategize about the provision of homeless shelter and services. The City does not currently have a permanent homeless shelter. However, the City does collaborate with the County to provide a temporary shelter, which rotates every 3 years between City- and County -owned properties. It would be ideal to find a permanent location for the City's homeless shelter to alleviate moving costs, as well as to provide continuity of housing and services for the City's homeless. However, finding a permanent location for a homeless shelter is costly, and it has been difficult for the City to find a local non-profit organization to collaborate with to provide a shelter facility. The City and County have had success in informing service providers of the location of the new facility each year, as well as continuing to offer services in the location of the previous facility. Collaboration needs to continue to ensure both housing and services are provided for the City's homeless and those at -risk of homelessness. Collaboration includes ensuring changes in the facility's location, as well as services are well marketed and publicized to the City's service providers who have, contact with the City's homeless. Although the current arrangement has, been successful, as a long-term strategy for the City's homeless population, the City should continue to identify suitable parcels/locations for a permanent facility, as well as potential partnerships with local nonprofits to manage the facility.
