CITY OF SANTA CLARITA
AGENDA REPORT
CONSENT CALENDAR City Manager Approval:
Item to be presented by:
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.

capital costs of public improvements (assisted in part with CDBG funds) financed from other revenue
sources, an assessment or charge may be made against the property with respect to the public
improvements financed by a source other than CDBG funds.

CDBG funds, including Section 108, unless CDBG funds are used to pay the proportion of fee or
assessment attributable to the capital costs of public improvements financed from other revenue
sources. In this case, an assessment or charge may be made against the property with respect to the
public improvements financed by a source other than CDBG funds. Also, in the case of properties

need is for affordable units for families. The City is seeking to increase the number of
affordable housing units for families in several ways.

square foot parcel in the Redevelopment Project�Area, which could be used for a 30 -unit
family affordable rental housing project. The City invested $25,000 ink Agency funds to
begin a Caltrans analysis of the property t /determineiiNt could beideclared excess. An
appraisal was conducted, and the City and Caltrans negotiated the terms of the sale.
In 2009-2010 the City identified funds from the Redevi

Other Narrative
Include any Action Plan information that was not covered by a narrative in any other section.
Fostering and Maintaining Affordable Housing
Increasing, improving, and maintaining affordable housing is identified as a High Priority in the
2009-2013 Consolidated Plan. The City will contribute to the preservation of the existing affordable
housing stock through rehabilitation programs. For fiscal year 2011-2012, over $250,000 in CDBG
funds will be used for the Rehabilitation and Handyworker Programs to assist low-income
homeowners, including seniors and disabled homeowners, to corre</code violations and unsafe
conditions.
The City will also continue to encourage other developers, nbn,-profits\arM other interested parties
to develop new affordable units and will support applications for development funds through the
California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (CTCAC) and/the/State of California
Rental Housing: Housing resources in the form of
assistance will be available to low- and moderate incorrr
a variety of sources. Most existing affordable rental�C
persons are available through covenants between vario
California or the County of Los Angeles In fiscal year,
units in 9 apartment buildings available�at reduced
affordable at moderate, low, and very to\rateess>through
'subsidized rental/units and rental
e/residents of Santa Clarita through
nits for low- and moderate -income
is building owners and the State of
20.11-2012 there will be 599 rental
rents to families. These units are
affordable housing agreements.
Section 8 housing also continues to operate in/the City of Santa Clarita and is administrated
through the County of Los -Angeles Community Development Commission. As of April 2011,
approximately 291/Section 8�vouchers ai\ea currently being used within the City of Santa
Clarita and surrounding areas. This information has been provided by the Housing Authority
of the County of Los�Angeles.) L
Low- and moderate -income housing specifically for seniors is also available in and around
the City�los Angeles Countywris and operates a conventional public housing project called
Orcha d Arms, which provides housing for low- and moderate -income seniors and the
disabled Three large-scale lowland moderate -income senior housing projects completed
through\ a.partnership between the Santa Clarita Valley Committee on Aging and private real
estate developers offer 614 units at low- and moderate -income rates. An additional 343
units are available in/5other buildings. In total there are 957 rental units in eight (8)
apartment buildingsavailable at reduced rates for seniors.
■ Home Purchase`Programs: The City operates a FirstHOME Program. Although funding is
currently exhausted, the City plans to apply for additional HOME funds in August 2011.
The City also continues to be on the list of approved jurisdictions for the Mortgage Credit
Certificate Program, which provides a federal tax credit to reduce the amount of taxes paid,
allowing the homebuyer to qualify for a larger first mortgage while still maintaining
affordability.

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.

Summary of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice
Section II through IV presented the research and public outreach processes as part of the City's AI.
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.

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.

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.

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.
