STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE
: Regular Meeting of September 12, 2023
TO: H
onorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBMITTED BY: Thomas Lloyd Smith, City Attorney TLS SUBJECT: Ordinance Prohibiting Retaliation and Harassment of Residential Tenants
RECO

MMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the Ordinance adding Chapters 4 and 5 of Title 11 of the Antioch Municipal Code prohibiting retaliation and harassment of residential tenants.

SCAL IMPACT
Adoption of the ordinance will have direct and indirect fiscal impacts if the City engage s in enforcement of the ordinance, either through the code enforcement process or through litigation. The proposed Ordinance may be enforced by an aggrieved tenant, an organization or other entity that represents the interests of aggrieved tenants, or the City.

At a minimum, an assista nt city attorney or deputy city attorney position plus administrative support would be necessary for the City Attorney’s Office to provide support services to the public for this ordinance.

DIS

CUSSION
The City Council provided direction to staff at its May 9, 2023 and June 13, 2023 to prepare additional tenant protection policies for City Council consideration, including policies prohibiting retaliation and harassment of residential tenants. S taff presented a Draft Ordinance to the City Council at its June 27, 2023 for discussion and further direction.

After receiving public comment, the City Council identified potential issues concerning the section of the Draft Ordinance that enumerates landlord acts and omissions that would constitute harassment if done in bad faith. The Council directed staff to research potential solutions. The proposed Ordinance, attached as Attachment A, reflects staff’s recommended updates, which are summarized in the table below.

Antioch City Council Report
September 12, 2023 Agenda Item E 2

City Council
Direction
Ordinance Addition
or Revision

1. Address threats of rent
increase in response to
tenant request for repair
New subdivision (A)(4) of § 11-5.03 borrows language
from the proposed retaliation chapter so that the
prohibited acts—including increasing or threatening to
increase rent in retaliation against a tenant who
requests a repair or exercises a right under Title 11 of the Municipal Code—maybe enforced as retaliation or
harassment.

2. Require notice to be in
tenant spoken language
Revised subdivision (B) of § 11-5.04 requires the form
of notice prescribed by the City to include a Spanish
language translation. This revised subdivision also
clarifies that the City may include additional
translations and additional information that will help
effectuate the Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinance.

The Rent Stabilization Ordinance requires notices for
its purposes to be provided in the language used in the written lease or that was used during the creation of
an oral lease. The revision in the proposed Ordinance
takes a different approach by requiring the City to
provide a dual-language notice so that tenants whose
primary language is Spanish will receive notice in that language regardless of the language used in the
lease.

3. Address improper
towing of tenant
vehicles
New subdivision (A)(8) of § 11 -5.03 includes the
following act as harassment when done in bad faith:
“Remove or cause removal of a tenant’s vehicle from
the rental property or abutting street in violation of
applicable law. If applicable law allows for towing of the vehicle, then towing the vehicle does not constitute harassment.”

4. Address verbal abuse
and psychological harm
New subdivision (A)(13) of § 11-5.03 includes “verbal
or nonverbal abuse” and “verbal or nonverbal actions
directed at a tenant or their guest that are likely
, or
intended, to cause physical, mental, or emotional
harm” as harassment when done in bad faith.

Prohibited acts include harmful “verbal or nonverbal
actions directed toward a tenant or their guest as a
member of a protected class that are likely , or
intended, to cause physical, mental, or emotional
harm.”

5. Protect tenants’ right to
organize
New subdivision (A)(23) of § 11 -5.03 includes the
following act as harassment when done in bad faith:
“Prohibit, interfere with, retaliate against, or threaten retaliation against tenant organizing activities or
engaging in other political activities when hosted by a tenant.” This provision also defines “tenant organizing activities.” This provision clarifies that the subdivision does not prohibit reasonable time, place, and manner
requirements, which a landlord could impose to
address potential impacts on other tenants and the
rental property. Such requirements may not
“effectively prohibit or substantially interfere with
organizing activities.” This language is based on San
Francisco’s regulations on Residential Tenant
Communications.

6. Increase penalties to be
commensurate with
harm and serve as more
effective deterrent
Pursuant to revi sed subdivision (D) of §11-5.05, a
court may award “compensatory damages, rent
refunds for reduction in housing services, reasonable
attorney's fees and costs, imposition of civil penalties up to $10
,000 per violation depending upon the
severity of the violation, tenant relocation, and other appropriate relief, as adjudged by the court.”

or Revision

7. Clarify standard for
landlord intent to
constitute harassment
Revised subdivision (A) of § 11-5.03 includes acts or
omissions done in “bad faith.” The bad faith standard
is generally recommended for tenant anti-harassment
protections because it is flexible and allows a court to consider the specific facts of the landlord’s behavior
in the context of the action taken and harm suffered.

8. Address sexual
exploitation
New subdivision (A)(5) of § 11 -5.03 includes
solicitation of a tenant for sexual conduct in exchange for protection from eviction, repairs or maintenance,
or fulfillment of a legal obligation.

9. Address excessive rent
increases intended to
force a tenant to vacate
in circumvention of
eviction protection laws
New subdivision (A)(22) of § 11 -5.03 includes
excessive rent increases for units that are not
regulated by the Rent Stabilization Ordinance and
that are intended to push a tenant out of a rental unit that is subject to eviction protections. This provision would apply to units protected by the AB 1482 eviction

Additional Staff
Recommendation

or Revision
regulations, as well as units protected by City eviction regulations if adopted.

10. Include safeguard for
potential First
Amendment issues
New subdivision (B) of § 11 -5.03 specifies that the
prohibited acts of harassment do not include “conduct
intended to communicate ideas or beliefs to the public
at large and that has only an incidental effect upon a
person or persons.” This provision enables the City
to regulate harmful conduct that is directed at a tenant while avoiding interference with protected speech.

11. Add criminal penalty to
allow administrative
enforcement
New subdivision (A) of § 11-5.05 makes violations of
the Anti -Tenant Harassment Ordinance publishable
as an infraction or misdemeanor. This provision
allows the City to enforce the ordinance through code
enforcement because th
e Government Code
authorizes the City to enforce violations of the
Municipal Code that are infractions through
administrative citations and fines.

BACKGROUND
Anti-Retaliation
A policy prohibiting retaliation by residential landlords, or “anti -retaliation” policy, b ars landlords from retaliating against tenant because the tenant exercised or asserted certain legal rights related to the rental unit, tenancy, and status as a tenant. Staff recommended adding an anti-retaliation policy that covers all existing and future tenant protections due to concerns expressed by tenants engaging with the Rent Program regarding fears of retaliation by landlords if the tenants assert rights under the Rent Stabilization Ordinance.

The proposed Ordinance would add Chapter 4 and Section 11- 4.01 to Title 11, Tenant Protections, of the Antioch Municipal Code. Section 11-4.01 would prohibit landlords from engaging in enumerated acts as retaliation against a tenant for asserting or exercising any right under Title 11. Section 11-4.01 would also establish that any act of prohibited retaliation is a defense to an action to recover possession, as well as a basis for damages and injunctive relief against the landlord.

Anti-Harassment
Under State law, tenant harassment occurs when a landlord engages in specific acts with the intent to cause a tenant to vacate a rental property. The harm State law seeks to prevent is “constructive eviction,” and it does not address harassing acts by landlords that are not accompanied by the specific intent to cause the tenant to vacate or where it is difficult to prove this specific intent.

A City policy prohibiting harassment by residential landlords, or “anti-harassment” policy, Antioch City Council Report
September 12, 2023 Agenda Item E 5
can focus more broadly on harmful actions by landlords that have no lawful purpose. The proposed Ordinance identifies specific acts and omissions by landlords that constitute prohibited harassment when done in “bad faith.” This bad faith standard encompasses situations where a landlord harasses a tenant in order to cause the tenant to leave, as well as situations where a landlord wants to avoid the expense or inconvenience of providing a tenant what they are lawfully owed or acts in a discriminatory manner.

The proposed Ordinance requires landlords to provide notice of the prohibited harassment to existing and future tenants within 30 days of the effective date of the chapter or at the beginning of the tenancy. Notice is also required in an interior common area, if any, and with any notice of termination of a tenancy. The proposed Ordinance may be enforced by an aggrieved tenant, the City, or an organization or other entity that represents the interests of aggrieved tenants. The proposed Ordinance also provides for a minimum damages amount and enhanced damages where a tenant is disabled or age 65 or over.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANTIOCH ADDING CHAPTERS 4 AND 5 OF TITLE 11

OF THE ANTIOCH MUNICIPAL CODE

PROHIBITING RETALIATION AGAINST AND HARASSMENT OF

RESIDENTIAL TENANTS
WHEREAS, a shortage of rental housing and market demand for affordable housing have resulted in an imbalance between supply and demand in the rental housing market in Antioch and an imbalance of bargaining power between residential landlords and tenants;
WHEREAS, Antioch residential tenants may be unwilling or unable to assert their legal rights due to factors such as an imbalance in bargaining power and concerns of retaliation;
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Antioch finds that these imbalances in the rental housing market and in the bargaining power of landlords and tenants reduces stability, security, and habitability, which are detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare of Antioch residents;
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that renters occupy nearly forty percent (40%) of residential units in the City , Antioch renters have provided public comment at several City Council meetings regarding their experiences of harassment, and additional tenant protections will benefit the public health, safety, and welfare of the City; WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the displacement of residential tenants increases the risk that Antioch residents will lack stable and appropriate housing and, therefore, seek to institute measures to reduce the impacts of displacement on tenants, particularly tenants of limited financial means;
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that reasonable regulation of aspects of the residential landlord-tenant relationship is necessary to foster constructive communication, maintain an adequate supply of rental housing units , and protect the health, safety and general welfare of the public and that there is a lack of adequate protections and remedies in the absence of City regulations;
WHEREAS, the purpose of this policy is to preserve the public peace, health, and safety of the City by deterring harassing behavior by landlords against residential tenants, encouraging residential landlords to follow the law and uphold their responsibility to provide habitable rental properties, and establishing more effect remedies for tenants who experience harassing behavior;
WHEREAS, the purpose of this policy is also to help maintain peaceful relations in the community and minimize breaches of the peace caused by self-help evictions; to protect vulnerable populations of the Antioch community, including those referenced in the recitals of the City of Antioch Rent Stabilization Ordinance adopted on October 11, 2 2022; to preserve Antioch’s affordable rental housing stock; to reduce the expenditure of City and community resources needed in response to involuntary displacement ; and to prevent adverse health impacts suffered by individuals —especially children, older person, persons living on fixed incomes, and other vulnerable renters in the City —and families as a result of displacement; and
WHEREAS, the City Council incorporates into this ordinance as necessary findings the recitals of this ordinance, any amendments or supplements, and any oral testimony provided on June 14, 2022, June 28, 2022, July 27, 2022, August 23, 2022, September 13, 2022, September 27, 2022 , October 11, 2022, December 12, 2022 , February 13, 2023, April 24, 2023, May 8, 2023, June 27, 2023, and July 25, 2023 and finds, determines, and declares that the threat to the public health, safety, and welfare of the City and its residents necessitates the enactment of the ordinance.

STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

DATE: Regular Meeting of September 12, 2023

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

SUBMITTED BY: Thomas Lloyd Smith, City Attorney TLS

SUBJECT: Ordinance Changing the City Administration’s
Organizational Structure by Transferring, from the City Manager to the City Council, the Authority to Appoint, Supervise, and Remove the Chief of Police

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the ordinance (1) amending section 2-

2.06(B)(2) of the A ntioch Municipal Code removing the Chief of Police from the City Manager’s appointment, discipline, and removal power, and (2) adding a new Article 4 to Chapter 3 of Title 2 of the Antioch Municipal Code, so that the Chief is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the City Council, and setting out some general duties and responsibilities of the Police Chief (Attachment A).

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no anticipated direct or indirect fiscal impact as a result of this item.

DISCUSSION
The purpose of this staff report is to provide information, so the City Council can consider whether it seeks to change the organizational structure of the City’s administration by transferring, from the City Manager to the City Council, the authority to appoint, supervise, and remove the Chief of Police.

City Council’s Statutory Authority
City councils are granted wide latitude in deciding how a city will be administered and operated. The Government Code provides a city council with the statutory authority to appoint and remove the chief of police. (Gov. Code, § 36505; Gov. Code, § 36506.) A city council can also adopt a city manager form of government and vest the authority, by ordinance, in the city manager to appoint and dismiss the chief of police and other subordinate appointive officers and employees, except the city attorney. (Gov. Code, § 34856.)

Antioch City Council Report
September 12, 2023 Agenda Item#F 2

In city council -city manager form of government, the city council reserves for itself policymaking functions, approval authority regarding the budget and certain decisions, and supervision of the city manager and the city attorney. The chief of police is generally appointed and supervised by the city manager.

The City of Antioch currently operates under a city council -city manager form of government. The City Council ordinance establishing the authority of the City Manager vests the City Manager with the authority to appoint, remove, and supervise the Chief of Police.

In some cities, the city council appoints department heads, including the chief of police.

Under this organizational structure, the chief of police reports directly to the city council, but many routine day -to-day police department issues may be coordinated by the city manager. In this way, more routine matters are handled by the city manager and the city council has a more direct relationship with the chief of police. An example of this structure is found in the City of Fullerton, CA, where the Chief of Police is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the City Council. (Ord. 3185,§ 2, 2012)

City of Antioch’s Council-City Manager Form of Government The City of Antioch has a council-manager or city manager form of government. The City Manager is responsible to the City Council for the efficient administration of all the affairs of the City that are under his control.

The City Manager exercises control over all departments and divisions of the City government and over all appointive officers and employees, except as provided by local, state, or federal law. The City Manager has power, subject to the City personnel rules, to employ, discipline, or remove all heads of departments or subordinate officers and employees, to transfer employees from one department to another, and to consolidate or combine offices, positions, departments, or units under his or her jurisdiction. 1 The Police Oversight Standing Committee Previously Considered Transferring the Authority to Appoint and Remove the Chief of Police from the City Manager to the City Council
In 2021, the City Council explored the idea of changing the authority of the City Manager to hire and remove the Chief of Police. At the October 26, 2021 meeting of the Police Oversight Standing Committee, Mayor Thorpe, Mayor Pro Tem Wilson and Council Member Torres-Walker requested a working draft of the Police Chief hiring process that includes the following: an external recruitment pool, one representative from each district involved in the hiring process, the City Council’s ability to ratify the contract prior to hiring.

Notably, the City Council expressed interest in transferring authority from the City Manager to the City Council to make the final decision regarding hiring of a Police Chief.

At the November 23, 2021 meeting, former City Manager Ron Bernal prepared a staff report on the City’s “Police Chief Recruitment and Hiring Process”. Councilmember Barbanica made a motion to approve the policy prepared by City Manager Bernal. The

1 This authority does not apply to the City Attorney, the City Clerk, or the City Treasurer.

Antioch City Council Report
September 12, 2023 Agenda Item#F 3

motion was seconded by Councilmember Ogorchock, but it failed with only Councilmembers Barbanica and Ogorchock voting in favor of it. Councilmembers Wilson and Torres-Walker voted against the motion. Mayor Thorpe was absent.

At the end of that meeting, Councilmember Torres -Walker requested a Municipal Code review of the Police Chief appointment process to include the City Council.

Transferring the Appointment and Removal Authority for the Chief of Police from the City Manager to the City Council Requires Amending the Antioch Municipal Code The existing structure of the city council-city manager form of government is established by ordinance. Therefore, the Antioch City Council needs to adopt an ordinance amending the City’s municipal code to change the reporting structure of the Chief of Police.

The ordinance (Attachment A) removes the existing authority of the City Manager with regard to the Chief of Police position and vests the authority to appoint, supervise, and remove the Chief of Police in the City Council.

Supervision and Performance Evaluation of the Chief of Police

The Chief of Police is currently supervised by the City Manager. If the City Council passes the ordinance (Attachment A), the Chief of Police would report directly to the City Council.

The City Council would supervise the Chief and evaluate his performance. The procedure for supervising this position could include annual, semi -annual, and/or as -needed performance evaluations. If the City Council desires to maintain closer oversight of the Police Chief, the City Council could meet more regularly for this purpose. This authority would be vested in the City Council as a whole and exercised by the City Council as a whole via noticed closed and open session public meetings.

Under this reporting structure, the City Manager, City Attorney, and Chief of Police would all report to the City Council. Therefore, the City Council may wish to consider the extra workload for an additional direct report. That being said, a direct reporting relationship between the City Council and the Chief of Police may support enhanced communication and alignment between the City Council and the Police Chief.

Elected officials may be well positioned to evaluate the effectiveness of the police department by soliciting input from their respective constituencies. The City Council has extensive relationships that position them to understand the perception of the police by diverse communities of residents, the business community, the faith- based community, and by other communities and individuals interacting with law enforcement. While taken individually these diverse viewpoints are subjective, cumulatively they may form a broad basis for evaluation of performance of the police chief. For example, the presence of officers on “Patrol” assignment on the streets may be perceived differently by different segments of the community; for some it may suggest comforting security, but others may view it as intimidating. Certain statistical measurements may suggest varying degrees of productivity, but these may be counter to the community’s perception.

On the other hand, if the City Council elects to retain the current reporting relationship Antioch City Council Report
September 12, 2023 Agenda Item#F 4

between the City Manager and the Chief of Police, the City Manager could include community-provided information in the evaluation the Police Chief.

The California League of Cities, in its Mayors and Council Members Resource Guide, describes the importance of the relationship between the City Council and Police Department as follows:

“The internal policies and procedures of the [police] department are determined by the police chief and need to be consistent with the law and policies of the city manager or city administrator and the council. Since the police function is primarily concerned with a broad range of order maintenance activities and with the provision of services to the community, these matters are clearly local concerns requiring responsiveness to the public and accountability to community priorities.

Coordination of services, development of priorities, and maintenance of a balance between the services offered and the financial resources of the community require that the agencies delivering the services be responsible to the public. The determination of what services a police agency will provide, what priorities will exist, and what police responses will be sanctioned are proper decisions for the city council. A police department exists within a political arena, and a city council can be asked to answer to the electorate based on the actions of the police department. It is therefore, important that a police department understand its connection and relationship within this political arena.”

City Council Discussion and Public Comment

The City Council’s decision of whether to transfer, from the City Manager to the City Council, the authority to appoint, supervise, and remove the Chief of Police is likely to have city-wide implications. Therefore, the City Council may wish to invite and consider input from the City Manager, department heads, other city staff, and the broader Antioch community.

ANTIOCH MUNICIPAL CODE, RELATING TO OVERSIGHT OF THE

WHEREAS, the City of Antioch ("City") operates under a City Council- City Manager form of government, under which the Chief of Police is presently employed, overseen, disciplined, and removed by the City Manager; WHEREAS, on April 11, 2023 the City Council held a meeting at which it considered a change to the present organizational structure which would involve transferring the authority to appoint, supervise, and remove the Chief of Police from the City Manager to the City Council;
WHEREAS, after consideration of the item, the City Council directed staff to proceed with an ordinance to amend the Antioch Municipal Code (“AMC”) to clarify that, going forward, the Chief of Police will be appointed, supervised, and removed by the City Council;
WHEREAS, under this reporting structure, the City Council may establish additional procedures for becoming more closely involved in performance evaluations, handling constituents’ comments and concerns related to the office of Chief of Police, and managing issues of accountability and responsiveness; and WHEREAS, the City Council has carefully considered the implications of this legislative proposal, and has determined it is in the best interest of the City to transition the oversight of the Chief of Police role from the City Manager’s office to the City Council.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Antioch, California, does hereby ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. Recitals. The above recitals are incorporated as though set forth in this section.

Nothing contained in this subdivision s hall apply, however, to the City Attorney, the City Clerk, the Chief of Police, or the City Treasurer.

SECTION 3. Addition. A new Article 4 is hereby added to Chapter 3 of Title 2 of the AMC, to read in full as follows:

ARTICLE 4: POLICE DEPARTMENT
§ 2-3.401 CREATED
There is hereby created in the government of the C ity a Police Department under the control of a Chief of Police , who shall be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the City Council. The Chief of Police shall perform the functions and duties specified by the laws of the State of California, the Antioch Municipal Code, and the City’s class specification. The Chief of Police shall also perform other legally permissible and proper functions and duties in an efficient, competent, and ethical manner. Pursuant to section 13522 of Chapter 1 of the California Penal Code, the C ity, while receiving aid from the state pursuant to said Chapter 1, will adhere to the standards for recruitment and training established by the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training.

SECTION 4. CEQA. The adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), which provides that CEQA only applies to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be determined that the proposed project will not have a significant adverse effect on the environment, the project is not subject to CEQA. Here, the amendment of the Antioch Municipal Code in the manner set forth in this Ordinance does not have the potential to result in either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Moreover, approval of the Ordinance merely constitutes an administrative activity of the City and is additionally exempt from CEQA on that basis. (CEQA Guidelines, § 15378(b)(5).) SECTION 5.

STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting of September 12, 2023
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBMITTED BY: Anthony Morefield, Police Captain /:vvJ lJZ-O APPROVED BY: Joseph Vigil, Acting Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Continuance of Employee Referral and Recruitment Signing Bonus and Incentive Program for Qualified Lateral and Entry Level Police Officers

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the resolution authorizing the Acting City Manager or designee to continue the employee referral and recruitment signing bonus and incentive program for qualified lateral and entry level (academy graduate and recruit) Police Officers for a total program amount of up to $300,000 during fiscal year 2023-2024.

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact would be determined solely by the number of lateral and/or entry level applicants hired while the program is in effect. Per lateral Officer, the total fiscal impact is estimated to be $40,000. This assumes the lateral Officer is hired at Step E and is eligible to take advantage of the full incentive package which includes up to two hundred (200) hours of accrued sick leave from their previous agency and an automatic forty (40) hours of vacation upon employment. Per entry level Officer, the fiscal impact is estimated to be $30,000. These financial incentives are distributed in five (5) separate increments over a five-year period for lateral Officers and five (5) separate increments over five (5) years for entry level Officers with the bulk of the payment ($15,000) being paid upfront. Assuming the Police Department hired fifteen (15) officers (including lateral officers with additional bonuses) who were all eligible for their first $15,000 bonus in the same year, the total cost of the program could be approximately $300,000 for fiscal year 2023-2024. It is believed some of the costs could be covered through salary savings from vacancies.

DISCUSSION
At the regular City Council Meeting of September 13, 2022, the City Council adopted a resolution increasing the employee recruitment and signing bonus incentive program in G

This incentive program applied to qualified lateral and entry level police officers. Additional bonuses/incentives for lateral officers that remained in place from earlier agreements. The incentive program also had a claw back provision requiring repayment of the bonuses if an employee severed employment with the City of Antioch any time prior to the 5-year commitment. The adopted bonuses/incentives were as follows:

1. If separation occurs before completion of the probationary period, applicant shall reimburse the City for $15,000

Such reimbursement shall be immediately due and payable without notice. Any unpaid balance of the signing bonus shall first be deducted from the applicant's final paycheck.

In the event the final paycheck is not sufficient to pay the balance of the signing bonus, then any resultant balance must be paid, in full, with other resources of the applicant. If the applicant remains employed with the City beyond the terms defined above, the applicant will have no obligation to repay any part of the signing bonus.

Additionally, any current Antioch employee who recruits a lateral officer will receive his/her choice of $1,000 or twenty (20) hours of Comp Time upon the lateral's successful completion of the field training program.

Since this hiring incentive program has been in effect, the Police Department has hired a total of twelve (12) lateral and entry level officers. Many other police departments across the state have comparable hiring incentives, and to remain competitive, the Antioch Police Department should continue with its own hiring incentive program. The Police Department proposes renewing the current recruitment signing bonus/incentives for qualified lateral and entry level (academy graduate and recruit) police officers hired from September 12, 2023 to September 11, 2024 as outlined in (Exhibit A).

STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: Regular Meeting of September 12, 2023
SUBMITTED BY: Kevin Scudero, Acting Community Development Director Zoe Merideth, Senior Planner
APPROVED BY: Kevin Scudero, Acting Community Development Director l) SUBJECT: Authorize Response to Grand Jury Report No. 2306 "Affordable Housing: A Plan Without a Home"

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the resolution authorizing the Mayor to sign and submit the City of Antioch's response to the Contra Costa Civil Grand Jury Report No. 2306 "Affordable Housing: A Plan Without a Home".

FISCAL IMPACT
There are no fiscal impacts incurred by the City to authorize the response. Preparing the response involved staff time. The response does not commit staff to develop new programs or projects that are not already part of the 6th cycle Housing Element.

DISCUSSION
Early in California's history, the California Constitution established grand juries in each county. The California Penal Code includes provisions on the formation of grand juries and the powers and duties of grand juries. With respect to public agencies, grand juries are authorized to "investigate and report upon the operations, accounts, and records of the officers, departments, functions, and the method or systems of performing the duties of any such city or joint powers agency and make such recommendations as it may deem proper and fit." (Cal. Penal Code§ 925a) Within 90 days after the grand jury submits a report regarding the operations of any public agency, the "governing body of the public agency shall comment to the presiding judge of the superior court on the findings and recommendations pertaining to matters under the control of the governing body ... " (Cal.

Penal Code§ 933(c)).

On June 14, 2023, the Civil Grand Jury of Contra Costa County released a report directed at all 19 cities/towns and the County entitled Report No. 2306 "Affordable Housing: A Plan Without a Home" (Report). The Report investigates affordable housing for very low- and low-income residents in the County. The Grand Jury "wanted to understand who in local government is responsible for implementation of approved housing plans and why were those plans failing to address permit targets for very low- and low-income residents. What are the drivers/obstacles behind these missed targets, and what actions were being taken to increase the availability of affordable housing for these residents throughout our H

2 County.” The Report is a summation of the work, findings, and recommendations of the Grand Jury.

Th
e Report specifically requests responses to each finding and recommendation. Local government responses are legally required by California Penal Code sections 933(b) and 933.05(b). A total of 13 “findings” and 10 “recommendations” were provided in the Report.

The City’s suggested responses are included as Exhibit A to the attached Resolution (Attachment A).

To as
sist with a consistent and collaborative review and response to the Report by each local government, all 19 cities/towns and the County (representing unincorporated areas) reached out to the Contra Costa County Collaborative (C4), a Countywide resource which is funded by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and Association of Bay Area Governments (MTC/ABAG). Since 2021, C4 has worked with Contra Costa jurisdictions’ Planning Divisions by providing workshops and tools to assist in the preparation and implementation of the 6
th cycle Housing Elements. With respect to the Grand Jury Report, C4 prepared suggested responses to the findings and recommen dations, with areas for each jurisdiction to provide more tailored responses. The standardized response approach provides consistency among Contra Costa County’s 19 cities and towns. Staff tailored each of the C4 responses to best reflect Antioch’s policies and practices.

e: City of Antioch Response to Findings and Recommendations of Grand Jury Report No. 2306, “Affordable Housing: A Plan Without a Home”
D
ear Grand Jury Foreperson,
Th
ank you for your letter and the accompanying Grand Jury Report No. 2306, Affordable Housing , in which you highlighted several findings that align with the prevailing trends and challenges in our jurisdiction.

A
s part of our review process, we carefully considered your concerns , and we acknowledge that some findings may lack context. As you highl ighted in your letter and report, o ne significant challenge is the lack of funding for affordable housing initiatives. Additionally, even when funding is available, the competition for these dollars often discourages developers from pursuing projects with a lower probability of receiving funding. While local jurisdictions play a pivotal role in fostering housing development, including affordable housing options, development activity will often follow the path of least resistance, leading developers to choose to construct market rate housing rather than compete for limited funding to construct affordable housing.

Y
our letter and report indicate that all findings and recommendations uniformly apply to Contra Costa County and the 19 incorporated towns/citi es. The City of Antioch recognizes the challenges, and associated solutions, for Contra Costa Co unty a re different, based on geography/location, demographics, market conditions, land availability and associated cost s, and land use/transportation options. Individual jurisdictions may also fa ce unique constraints, especially environmental constraints, which may compromise a jurisdiction’s ability to address housing needs.

F
inally, among the key points from our review and your findings, unfunded mandates from t he State that add to the administrative burden continue to impact local jurisdictions and thei r ability to take proactive steps to increasing housing production. On January 1, 2023, additional housing laws went in to effect, including changes to the State Density Bonus law and the Accessor y Dwelling Unit (ADU) law. On July 1, 2023, two additional laws cam e into effect, requiring local jurisdiction staff to create handouts

EXHIBIT A

and checklists and re -prioritize workloads t o process housing applications on commerc ial corridors.

Before January 1, 20 24, local building and public works departments need to develop spe cific submittal requirements for post -entitlement permit applications, and all such applications, such as buildin g and grading permits, will be subject to a “shot clock” to review and appro ve permits. The expectations and costs to local jurisdictions and their staff are significant and, without adequate funding and resources, impact local jurisdictions’ ability to fo cus their resources on implementation of various housing policies and goals.

T
he housing crisis has become a pressing concern in the Ci ty of Anti och and beyond, with far -reaching implications for individuals and communities. Escalating housing costs, coupled with stagnant wages and limited housing supply, have led to an increasi ng number of individuals and families struggling to secure decent and affordable housing.

T
he lack of accessible housing options has particularly impacted vulnerable populations, including low- income households, seniors, disabled, and individuals experiencing homelessness. As local jurisdictions endeavor to tackle this crisis, they are confronted with the daunting challenge of vying for limited resources and funding. The competition among jurisdictions with diverse capac ities and needs often accentuates the difficulty of implementing comprehensive and equitable housing solutions.

Y
our report has shed some light on critical aspects of the housing crisis we face today and affirmed t hat we are not alone as a jurisdiction in f acing these challenges. Despite potential areas of partial disagreement, we acknowledge the fa ctual basis of your findings and recognize the interconnectedness of the underlying conditions that have given rise to the current challenges.

By
working collab oratively and understanding the broader context of the housing crisis, we strive to develop more effective strategies and policies to address this pressing issue and create a more inclusive and sustainable housing landscape for all members of our community.

rand Jury Findings
F

1. Within existing city or Cou nty in frastructure, there is no clear owner who is responsible for achieving RHNA permitting targets.

P
artially Disagree. The City of Antioch partially disagrees with Finding 1 because while a single entity is responsible for reporting on RHNA permitting targets , jurisdictions d o not develop housing projects.

State Housing Law only requires that jurisdictions plan t o address barriers to de velopment, accommodate all types of housing based on the RHNA allocations , and report their progress towards RHNA. The Community Developm ent/Planning Depart ment is responsible for preparing the Annual Progress Report (APR) as required by State Housing Law. These reports are p resented before the City Council early in the calendar year, prior to submission to HCD. Furthermore, each jurisdicti on’s Housing Element identifies the department responsible for carrying out the Housing Element’s Plans and Programs.

2. City and County o fficials see no direct path to meet state -mandated regional housing. (RHNA) targets
P
artially Disagree. The Ci ty of Antioch partially disagrees with Finding 2 because w hile City and County officials recognize the challenges ahe ad, our Housing Element iden tifies a clear pat h to accommodate the RHNA targets and we are actively exploring and implementing strategies to work towards meeting state-mandated regional housing (RHNA) targets. Despite acknowledging the complexity of the ta sk, officials are commit ted to finding viable solutions and collaborating with stakeholders to address the housing needs of the region. Through ongoing assessments and adaptive planning, they aim to identify feasible pathways to make progress toward meetin g RHNA targets. While it may be a challengin g endeavor, the dedication and proactive approach of City and County officials demonstrate their commitment to addres sing t he housing crisis and fulfilling their obligations in accordance with state mandates. However, the cities and County are not housing developers and do not construct the units.

3. There are currently no measurable penalties if a city or a County doe s not achieve RHNA targets in an approved housing element plan.

P
artially Disagree. The City of Antioch partially disagrees with Finding 3 because while there are no legal or financial penalties if the cities and County do not achieve their RHNA targets, there are penaltie s for A4

not accommodating RHNA in a Housing Element and the consequences for not issuing adequate permits can be considered punitive.

In addition, jurisdictions are subject to penalties if they do not adopt a Housing Element that is certified by the State, includ ing designating adequate sites to accommodate the RHNA targets. For example, cities and the County may be subject t o litigation from individuals, housing rights’ organizations, developers, and/or HCD. Depending on court decisions, l ocal control may further diminish, beyond that prescribed in State law, including, for examp le, suspending the citie s’ or C ounty’s author ity to issue building permits or approve certain land use permits. Cities and the County may also be subject to court- issued fines, court receivership, and streamlined approval processes that remove local discretion.

R
egardless of the reasons for lack of bu ilding permit activities, i f the cities or County do not issue building permits that meet the RHNA targets, developers may choose to us e a min isterial process for housing projects that meet specified criteria (SB 35). In addition, a develop er could choose to construct housing on sites that the cities or County have not designated for housing.

4. Data published by ABAG shows that Contra Costa County and most of its cities have missed their current RHNA targets for very low - and low-income housing allocations. The allocation requirements continue to increase (16x for very low-income and 4x for low-income residents).

P
artially Disagree. It is true that many cities and the County as a whole missed their RHNA targ ets for very low an d low-income housing, and that RHNA Allocation for very low - and low-income housing has continued to increase. However, the increase in RHNA allocation is not to t he extent mentioned in this report. RHNA numbers from the past 3 cycles in dicate that the current (6th) c ycle has had t he largest increase of 2.5x from the previous cycle in very low- and low-income housing requirements.

5. Many obstacles hinder the development of AH at the local level, specifically for very low and low- income housing, including:
a. Limited availability of land;
b. Restrictive zoning policies specific to AH development; c. Limited developer interest to bring projects forward; d. Limited available funding;
e. Lack of community support;
f. NIMBY opposition & city council response to NIMBY opposition.

P
artially Disagree. Though the above list of obstacles can hinder the development of affordable housing, the City has addressed each item in their Housing Element programs, policies, and action s to the extent feasible and considered acceptable to HCD.
a. As part o f the Housing Element, the City rezoned properties in excess of the City’s RHNA allocation to allow the development of both affordable and market rate homes throughout the City.
b
. The City does not have specific zones or requirements for AH developmen t. AH development is allowed in all residential areas. In order to facilit ate the development of AH and m arket rate housing, the City has a number of programs in its Housing Element:

The City will also continue to ministerially approve projects with 5 0 perc ent of their units affordable to lower- income households, consistent with State law, and will devel op an application for SB 35 p
rojects. The City shall also allow housing developments wi th at least 20 percent affordable housing by -right on lower income hou sing sites that have been counted in previous Housin g E
lement cycles , consistent with Government Code Section 655 83.2(c)” The City is currently processing a Commercial Infill Housing project ministerially, has created the SB 35 checklist, and will comply with state law for new housing projects.

P
rogram 4.1.6 Review and R evise Residential Parking Requirements, which requires, in part, by December 31, 2024, that the City “Conduc t a comprehensive study of best practices related to parking requirements to eva luate the city’s parking requirements and identify, as appropriate and dependent on the Study’s findings, potenti al amendments to the City’s Zoning Ordinance.” These potential amendments could reduce the amount of parking required to develop housing, which is an added expense for developers.
c. Th
e City meets with developers early in the entitlement process to try to provide clear direction to a developer about the City’s process and standards. Additionally, the City’s Housing Element includes Program 2.1.3 Meet with Potential Developers requires staff to continue to meet wi th developers to discuss the City’s development review process. The program also requires that the City gather feedback from developers on how the City can improve the entitlement process. d
. The City has limited funding to provide AH developers and does not construct housing projects.

The Housing El ement includes Program 1.1.3 Expand Affordable Housing for Owners hip, which states, “Provide financial down payment and closing cost assistance to lower income households to aid in the purchase of a home in the city through the Antioch Homeown er Program (AHOP).

Targeted population outreach includes households currently residing or working in Antioch, A6
6 | Page
those who are first -time home buyers, Sec tion 8 renter voucher participants, and those being displaced.”
e. T
he City regularly has community members speaking in s upport of affordable housing at City Council meetings. As part of the Housing Element, the City held community meetings and outreach events tha t garnered support for more housing and more AH in the City. In addition, the Housing Element includes Program 1.1.6 Community Education Regarding the Availability of Antioch Housing Programs, Fair Housing, and Tenant/Landlord services. f. T
he City of Antioch does not see “NIMBY opposition” at the levels some other nearby cities have experienced. For exam ple, the 394 -unit AMCAL affordable multi-family housing project built adjacent to a single -family subdivision had zero public comments opposing the pro ject when it went before the City Council for approval. In addition, Housing Element Program 2.1.10 Inclusionary Housing states that the City will initiate feasibility study for an inclusionary housing ordinance for City Council consideration.

6. Zoning changes are generally addressed only when a project is presented for development.

Zoning obstacles include:
a. Housing element plans that offer poor land choices for AH development; b. Restrictive height and high-density zoning policies; c. Lack of inclusionary housing ordinance(s) in many cities.

P
artially Disagree. Assembly Bill (AB) 1397 set forth strict criteria for adequate sites. These criteria are somewhat arbitrary (e.g., not smaller than 0.5 acre and not larger than 10 acres). The requirement to demonstrate substantial evidence that existing uses do not impede redevelopment also tends to steer sites selection to neighborhoods with declining uses and lower and moderate resource areas.

M
ost jurisdictions consider amending/changing the zoning while reviewing their Housing Element and/or updating the General Plan, not just when a project is proposed for development. a. P
ursuant to Government Code Section 65583.2(b), Housing Element sites must include information on the number of dwelling units that a site can realist ically accommodate, the RHNA income category the parcel is anticipat ed to accommodate, whether the parcel has av
ailable or planned and accessible infrastructure, and the existing use of the site, amongst other details. When selecting sites to accommo date t he lower income RHNA, HCD provides jurisdictions with best practices to consider factors such as:

1. Proximity to transit

2. Access to high performing schools and jobs

3. Access to amenities, such as parks and services

4. Access to health care facilities and grocery stores

5. Locational scoring criteria for Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (TCAC) Program A7
7 | Page
funding

6. Proximity to available infrastructure and utilities

7. Sites that do not require environmental mitigation

8. Presence of development streamlining processes, enviro nmental exemptions, and other development incentives.

H
owever, sites that meet these locational criteri a do not always meet the other existing use criteria needed to demonstrate substantial evidence for existing uses to discontinue within the planning pe riod. These include high vacancies, deteriorating conditions, marginally o perating businesses, underutilization o f sites, etc. These conditions are often directly contrary to access to high performing schools and jobs, amenities, adequate infrastructure, and cle ar of environmental hazards.

I
n addition to the above requirements and pursuant to AB 686 (Government Code Section 65583(c)(10)), Housing Elements due on or after January 1, 2021, sites must be identified throughout the community in a manner that af firmatively furthers fair housing (AFFH). AFFH means taking meaningful act ions, in addition to combating discrimination , that overcome patterns of segregation and foster inclusive communities free from barriers that restrict access to opportunity based on protected characteristics.

V
ery often the approach to sites selection is to target declining areas for redevelopment.

Without tax increment financing as a reinvestment tool, jurisdictions must rely on private investments as catalyst to induce redevelopment in d eclining neighborhoods. Housing is the best catalyst. For jurisdict ions that take a neighborhood r evitalization approach to accommodating the RHNA, place-based strategies that focus on public improvements, economic development, prioritization of funding, and targeted outreach are used to complement the sites inventory strategies.

A
s such, Housing Elem ent plan s prov ide an inventory of land that addresses the unique conditions of each jurisdiction.
b
. According to State Density Bonus Law (SDBL), local agenci es are required to allow increased density, reduced standards, and d evelopment incentives based on the numb er and t ype o f a
ffordable housing units proposed in a project. The SDBL applies to housing projects, including mixed-use developments, new subdivisions, or common-interest development. Developers may request incentives and concessions from the juri sdiction’s regulatory or development standards that result in actual and identifiable cost reductions to provide for affordable housing costs or rents. The n umber of required incentives is based on the percen tage of affordable units provided in the qualify ing project. For example, developers may ask for increased height above that allowed by the zoning regulations. As such, height and density do not repr esent a A8
8 | Page
restriction to development. Furthermore, many sit es are located in transit-oriented neighborhoods where recent State laws have preempted restrictions on height and density. c. H
ousing Element Program 2.1.10 Inclusionary Housing states that the City of Antioch will initiate a feasibility study for an inclusionary housing ordinance for City Council consideration.

7. Penalties directed at cities and the County (financial, loss of control over local planning) are tied to not meeting state deadlines for Housing Element plan approval.

P
artially Disagree. The City of Antioch agrees that there are penalties that are direc tly related to not meeting statutory deadline of the Housing Element. Builder’s Remedy, where individuals may apply for a building permit on land that is not designated for housing, is one such penalty that is directly linked to meeting state deadlines for Housing Elements.

T
he City partially disagrees with Finding 7 because there are other penalties that are not directly tied to the statutory deadline. There are penalties associated with lawsuits, which are rarely brought forward for simply missing the statutory deadline, but more due to a perception of continued inactions. Penalties also include eligibility for funding.

A
s stated in the respon se to Finding 3, cities and the County may be subject to litigation from individuals, housing right s’ organizatio ns, developers, and/or HCD . Depending on court decisions, the cities and the County may lose additional local control, s uch as suspension of authority to issue building permits or approve certain land use permit s; and/or cities and the County may be subjec t to court- issued fines, court receivership, and streamlined approval processes that remove local discretion.

I
n addition, depending on specific programs, eligibility for some state funds requires a certified Housing Element (such as PLHA and State HOME funds). Finally, loss of local control is not limited to jurisdictions that do not meet specified timeframes for a certified housing eleme nt. For example, SB 35, the Housing Accountability Act, the No Net Loss Ac t, Density Bonus Law, and AB 20 11/SB 6 specify what types of projects local jurisdictions must approve and where such projects must be approved, regardless of whether jurisdictions meet state deadlines for Housing Elements.

8. Builder's R emedy and SB35 p rojects do not address ingrained local obstacles identified in this report that prevent the completion of approved AH projects.

P
artially Di sagree. While Builder's Remedy and SB35 projects are valuable tools that can expedite affordable ho using developm ent, they may not comprehensively address all the ingrained local obstacles identified in this report that hinder the completion of approved AH projects. The effectiveness of these streamlined processes can vary from jurisdiction to jurisdict ion, and while t hey can help A9
9 | Page
overcome certain barriers like restrictive zoning policies and pro longed approval timelines, other challenges mentioned in the report, such as limited available funding, community support, and NIM BY opposition, may continue to persist in div erse degrees in different locations. To achieve the successful completion of appr oved AH projects and effectively address these obstacles , a mu ltifaceted and jurisdiction-specific approach is required, taking into account the unique circumstances and complexities faced by each locality.

C
ompletion of AH projects is further affected by a variety of non -regulatory factors. Market conditions, capital costs, availability of financing, supply chain disruptions, and labor market constraints may affect the constr uction and completion of approved affordable housing projects. These factors are rarely associated with local obstacles and are beyond a jurisd iction’s purview. Thus, a jurisdiction that entitles development pursuant to Builder’s Remedy or SB 35 may still no t see that development built if these other non-regulatory factors are not favorable to construction of the project following entitlement.

9. When local Redevelopment Agencies (RDA’s) were discontinued by the state in 2012, the County and cities, did n ot address the loss of funding for affor dable housing or f ind alternative fundi ng to support affordable housing projects until voters passed Measure X in November 2020. Projects that target very low- and low-income residents were particularly impacted.

P
artially Disagree. While the City of Antioch did not create new sources of funds for affordable housing after the State discontinued 452 RDAs, State law limits local jurisdictions’ ability to create new fundin g sources. Voters need to appro ve virtually all n ew funding or financing mechanisms to generate the revenues or funds needed t o preserve existing affordable housing and construct or financ e new affordable housing.

W
hile Measure X, the countywide 20-year ½ cent sales tax was approved in November 202 0, Measure X is projected to provide up to $12 million annually for “housing and related services” for the entire County (emphasis added) . Measure X Affordable Housing funds will be distributed through a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) process, a competitive process.

10. Measure X housing funds are not fully dedicated to building AH for very low- and low- income residents.

Ag
ree.

1. Lo cal funding provided by bonds like Measure X Housing Fund is a criti cal component of a developer’s overall ability to raise funds for an AH development.

P
artially Disagree. Bond funding requires voters’ approval. Depending on the timing (economic conditions and bond measures for other competing interests), bond financing has not been the most significant source of affordable housing financing. While local funding provided by bonds like Measure X Housing Fund in Contra Costa County are a beneficial co mponent to help fund affordable housing construction, the amount of funding available from Measure X is n ot high enough to be a critical factor A10
10 | Page
in a developer's overall ability to raise funds for an affordable housing (AH) development. Under the Measure X Program Allocation Summary, only $10 million dollars (about 13% of FY 2022 -23 funding and about 4.5% of t otal funding) we re allocated to a Local Housing Trust Fund; for FY 2023 -24, $12 million dollars were allocated. The Measure X Housing Funds are to be d ispersed by the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) and the H ealth Services’ Health, Housing and Homeless (HSD-H3) Services and the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa. While a contributing factor, Measure X dollars allocated to ho using production is not critical to the overall ability of the jurisdictio ns to meet their RHNA requirements for afford able housing. AH projects have been built in the County, including Antioch’s AMCAL and Tabora Gardens project s, without the use of Measure X fu nding and will continue to be.

12. Cities that proactively engage citizens, address zoning obsta cles, make rea sonable zoning concessions, work collaboratively with developers, provide local funding support, and are united in addressing NIMBY opposition, have been successful in attracting AH projects.

P
artially Disagree . The City of Antioch agrees that proactive s trategies can help attract afford able housing developers and mitigate the barriers to housing production; however, proactive strategies alone do not result in affordable housing projects being constructed. For e xample, while the City of Antioch engages in all of the above, a variety of ot her obstacles towards affordable housing development exist beyond a local jurisdiction’s control. This includes the gap in financing between constructing market-rate versus affordable housing, land costs, the land -to-building r atio when a property contains an underutilized building, the cost to upgrade or renovate an existing nonresidential building to accommodate housing, infrastructure costs (on - and off-site), fees for public utilities (particularly for non-municipal utilities), etc.

13. The latest RH NA targets for cities and unincorporated Contra Costa County show a significant increase in the number o f unit s that are expected to be permitted for very low and low-income housing.

P
artially Disagree. It is true that RHN A Allocation for very low - and low-income housing has continued to increase. However, the increase in RHNA allocation is not to the exten t ment ioned in this report.

RHNA numbers from the past 3 cycles indicate that the current (6th) cyc le has had the largest increase of 2.5x from the previous cycle in very low - and low -income housing requirements. Please see the response to Finding 4 for detailed RHNA numbers from previous Housing Element cycles.

Grand Jury Recommendations
R

1. Each city and the County sh ould consider assigning a staff position with clear leadership, ownership and accountability to achieve allocated RHNA targets. The indiv idual in this position would be responsible for establishing and promoting an operational plan to achieve the RHNA goals set forth in the housing element plan.

A11
11 | Page
The recommendation has been implemented. California’s Housing Element Law acknowledges that, in order for the private market to adequately address the housing needs and demands of Californian s, local governments must adopt plans and regulatory systems that provide opportunities for (and do not unduly constrain) housing development. Cities and Counti es are not responsible for the development and construction of housing to achieve the allocated RHNA targets. Instead, they are responsible for the effective implementation of their housing elements and associated programs to address any existing constraints to h ousing and for tracking and reporting the jurisdiction’s progress t oward achieving their RHNA. The Community Dev elopment/Planning Department is assigned with the responsibility of the above tasks. The City of Antioch also has a Housing Division that works with developers to identify funding sources for affordable housing. In addition, the City of Antioch has a track record of approving General Plan Amendments to allow for the development of multi- family housing as well as increasing densities in single fam ily developments in order to further the production of housing in or der to meet our RHNA goals. Including the AMCAL, Wildflower Station and Almond Knolls multifamily projects.

2. Each city and the County should report AH progress and lack of progr ess using data across all four measured income groups. Special attention s hould be paid to tracking the housing needs o f residents categorized as very low- and low -income. Cities and the County should communicate their progress biannually, against RHNA targets at council and supervisor Meetings.

T
he recommendation has been impl emented. The City of Antioch ha s complied wit h State Law (§65400) that requires each jurisdiction (city council or board of supervisors) to prepare an annual progress report (APR) on the jurisdiction’s status and progress in implementing its housing element (HE) using form s and definitions adopted by t he California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

Th
e HE APR allows HCD to track the progress of the implementatio n of a jurisdiction’s Housing Element and requires its submission as a threshold requirement for several State housing fu nding programs (source).

T
hrough the forms and tables provided b y HCD ( link), jurisdictions must report annual data on housing in the APR, including the following:
● Housing d evelopment applicatio ns received (including proposed number of units, ty pes of tenancy, and affordability levels)
● Building/construction activity
● Progress towards the RHNA
● Sites identified or rezoned to accommodate a shortfall in housing need ● Program implementation status
● Local efforts to remove governmental constraints to the development of housing ● Projects with a commercial development bonus
● Units rehabilitated or preserved
● Locally owned lands included in the sites inventory that have been sold ● Locally owned surplus sites
A12

G
overnment Code §65400 requires the planning agency to provide this report to the legislative bo dy (i.e., local Council or Board), HCD, and OPR by April 1 of each year (covering the previous calendar year).

APRs must be presented to the lo cal legislative body for its review and acceptance, usually as a consent or discussion on a regular meeting agenda.

Th
e statute does not specify in which order they be provided, and HCD does not require the report to be submitted to the legislativ e body prior to submitting it to HCD. However, HCD recommends that planning departments provide the report to the local legislative body prior to sending it to HCD and OPR (source). Biannual reporting would divert staff time from other housi ng programs.

3. Each city and the County should consider creating a dedicated AH commission comprised of a multi-disciplinary team o f dive rse citizens and led by a current, nonelected, city expert in planni ng.

Each commission would be ch arged with pro viding a community vo ice in the process and helping to identify and address obstacles that hinder the development of affordable housing projects in their community.

T
he recommendation will not be implemented. The City of Antioch appreciates the thoughtful recommendation to create a dedicated Affordable Housing (AH) commission comprised of a multi- disciplinary team of diverse citizens, led by a c urrent, non -elected, city expert in planning. While we acknowledge the potential benefits of such a commission, after careful consideration, we have decided not to pursue its implementation due to the following reasons:

E
xisting Planning Mechanisms: The C ity of Antioch already has established planning mechanisms and committees responsible for addressin g affordable h ousing issues. These existing structures provide platforms for community engagement and collaboration, making the formation of a separate commission redundant and potentially duplicative of efforts.

R
esource Constraints: Establishing and maintaining a dedicated AH commission would require additional financial and administrative resources. At present, our city and County are already allocat ing resources to multiple initiatives aimed at addressing affordable housing needs. Adding another commi ssion might spread resources too thin and hinder the efficiency of current efforts.

E
fficient Decision-Making: The City of Antioch has a Planning Commission comprised of seven appointed residents that are empowered to review and approve development projec ts; provide a p latform for public comment and sharing of community voices; and provide recommendations on policy changes and changes to zoning regulations tha t can lead to a reduced number of obstacles to development. The Planning Commission is supported by professional Planning staff. By involving a diverse range of citizens and experts in the City’s existing P lanning Commission, we maintain a balanced and inc lusive approach.

This integration ensures streamlined decision -making processes and comprehensive r epresentation of community interests without creating an additional layer of bureaucracy that would detract from the process of entitling housing projects.

A13
13 | Page
While we do not intend to pursue the recommended dedicated AH commission, we value the underlying principle of community engagement and recognize the importance of community input in the decision - making process. We will continue to explore alternativ e stra tegies that promote transparency, inclusivity, and community-driven solutions for affordable housing development in our city and County.

W
e remain committed to finding the most effective and sustainable approaches to address affordable housing challenges, working in collaboration with stakeholders and community members to achieve our shared goals.

R4
. Each city and t he County should consider reviewing existing processes and identifying changes that would address or resolve the specific obstacles ide ntified in this report that hinder achieving RHNA allocation targets for very low- and low-income housing in their Community.

T
he recommendation has been implemented. Comprehensive Process Review: As required by State Law, The City of Antioch has reviewed existing processes and identified programs to address any potential constraints to development through the Housing Element’s Constraints Section.

Th
e City of Antioch has conducted a thorough review of existing processes related to affordable housing development, permitting, and zoning regulations. This review aimed to identif y any inefficienci es or barriers (“constraints”) that may have contributed to the challenges in meeting RHNA allocation targets.

As part of our Housing Element adoption the City of A ntioch removed the Use Permit requirement for multi-family housing developments. Multi -Family developments that are con sistent with current zoning and do not need tentative map approval only require one hearing before the Planning Commission for Design Review approval.

S
takeholder Engagement: To ensure a comprehensive and incl usive approach, st akeholders, including community members, developers, housing advocates, and relevant government agencies, were actively engaged throughout the process. Feedback and input from these stakeholders played a pivotal role in shaping the subsequent actions.

I
dentifying Key Obstacles: Based on the review and stakeholder input, specific constraints hindering the achievement of RHNA allocation targets were identified. These include d issues related to zoning restrictions, lengthy permitting processes, funding constraints, and limited community support.

D
evelopment of a Housing Plan: With a clear understanding of the obstacles, the City of Antioch developed tailored action plans to address the identified challenges. These action plans outlined concrete steps, timelines, and responsible parties for implementation.

P
olicy and Regulatory Reforms: To streamline affordable housing development, policy and regulatory reforms were int roduced to the broader community at both the Planning Commission and City Council levels and noticed publ ic hearings . T hese reforms aimed to remove unnecessary barriers, expedite permitting processes, and incentivize the construction of affordable housing.

A14
14 | Page
Outcomes Achieved: As a result of these actions, tangible progress can be made towards meeting RHNA allocation targets for very low- and low-income housing in each community. The review and reforms will lead to a more efficient and supportive environment for affordable housing development.

W
hile challenges persist, the ongoing commitment of the jurisdiction to address the obstacles identified in the report demonstrates significant strides in advancing affordable housing goals. Continued efforts and collaboration will be crucial in achieving sustained progress and ensuring housing accessibility for all members of our communities.

5. Each city and the County should consider developing a public dashboard to report progress against RHNA targets.

Th
e reco mmendation has been implemented. The City of Antioch must prepare an annua l progress report (APR) on the jurisdiction’s status and progress in implementing its housing element using forms and definitions adopted by the California Department of Housing and Commun ity Development (HCD). (Government Code Section 65400.) The APR must be submitted to HCD and the Go vernor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) by April 1 of each year (covering the previous calendar year (CY )). HCD compiles and showcases all APRs through their interactive digital data dashboard with downloadable data sets. (link)
I
n addition, all jurisdictions are subject to Government Code Section 65863 (No Net Loss Law), which was amended in 2017 wi th SB 166, and requi res jurisdictions to maintain adequate sites to accommodate remaining unmet RHNA at each income level throughout the life of an adopted Housing Element. The No Net Loss Law restricts cities and the County from approving a housing projec t at a lower density, or with fewer units than identified in the Ho using Element unless a corresponding number of units are accommodated and identified elsewhere in the cities or County. To assist with the monitoring, c ities and the County are developing s tandard language to include in staff reports when housing projects come forward to decisionmakers for approval and are exploring a No Net Loss Tool to help monitor RHNA progress.

6. Each city and the County should consider, in their individual Housing Element plans, putting forth land zoned "suitable for residential u se," without development obstacles, and located strategically close to existing services, for AH purposes.

T
he recommendation has been i mplemented. As required by State Law, jurisdictions are required to prepare a site inventory identifying land suitable an d available for residential development to meet the locality’s regional housing needs by income level. Please see the response to Finding 6(a ) for details.

Further, in addressing HCD’s Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) requirements there is a thorough review of the site selection via the Tax Credit Allocation’s Committee (TCAC) Resource Map that designates areas of low -, moderate-, high-, and highest-resource within a ju risdiction and requires specific justification for placing affordable housing projects within low-resources areas.

A15
15 | Page
R7. Each city and the County should consider reviewing their zoning policies to identify restrictive zoning policies unique to their jurisdi ction that impede AH projects and consider making zoning changes in light of that review that will support AH in their community.

T
he recommendation has been implemented. Through the Housing Element process, the City of Antioch has reviewed their zoning p olicies and identified potential affordable housing developme nt constraints u nique to their jurisdiction. The Housing Element Program Section outlines forthcoming changes to their zoning policies with specified t imeframes to address the identified constraints. As part of our Housing E lement adoption the City of Antioch removed t he Use Permit requirement for multi- family housing developments. Multi -Family developments that are consistent with current zoning and do not n eed tentative map approval only requir e one hearing before the Plann ing Commission for Design Review approval.

R8.

Cities should consider adopting an inclusionary housing ordinance as part of their standard development policy by the end of 2023 (if not already in place).

Th
e recommendation has not yet been implemented. Thank you for your recommendation to consider adopting an inclusionary housing ordinance as part of our standard development policy by the end of 2023. We agree that this is an important aspect to explore further and would like to provide you with an update on the progress made towards implementing this recommendation.

O
n November 11, 2022, the Antioch City Council received a staff presentation on inclusionary housing policies. On Ja nuary 24, 2023, the Antioch City Council adopted the 6 th Cycle Housing Ele ment which includes Housing Ele ment Program 2 .1.10 Inclusionary Housing that states the City will initiate a feasibility study for an inclusionary housing ordinance for City Council consideration by December 2023.

9. Each city and the County should consider how to prioritize the impl ementation of housing projects that promote development of very low- and low-income housing.

T
he recommendation has been implemented. The City of Anti och processes development applications in the sequence they are received a nd deemed complete in accordanc e with statuto ry t imelines. The City has, in its current Housing Element, committed to implementing programs to remove governmental constraints inhibiting the development of housing required to meet identified needs in Antioch:
• 4
.1.1 Maintain a Streamlined, Affordable Application Process. Continue efforts to identify ways to streamline and improve the development review process, as well as eliminate an y u
nnecessary delays and restrictions in t he processing of development applications, consistent with maintaining the ability to adequately review proposed projects. • 4.1.7 Streamlined Approvals. Implement the recommendation of the City’s Strategic Infill Housing Study, completed in early 2021, to allow certain commercial sites to develop residential uses through a streamlined, non-discretionary process.

A16
16 | Page
• 4.1.11 CEQA Streamlining. Continue to allow eligible projects to use CEQA streamlining provisions, such as Inf ill Exemptions, Class 32 Exemptions, and Community Plan Exemptions (15183).
• 4.1.12 Removing Barrie rs to Rehabilitati on Programs. Remove the two- year lien requirement for homeowners participating in the City’s home rehabilitation program in partnership wit h Habitat for Humanity East Bay/Silicon Valley.

F
urther, the pres ervation and promotion of naturally occurring affordable housing (NOAH), is also part of our affordable housing strategy. While developing housing that is affordable to lower income households is important and a key strategy, preservation of affordable units is equally important and requires additional resources. It may, in some cases, be more cost effective to preserve existing units.

Additionally, the promotion of Accessory Dwelling Units, as NOAH, is a program identified in our Housing Element.

10. Each city and the County should consider priori tizing Measure X funding requests that support projects that address RHNA targets for very low- and low -income residents. Each city and C ounty should consider reporting regularly to their residents on the use of Measure X funds for such purposes.

T
he recommendation will not be implemented. Measure X is a countywide 20 -year, ½ cent sales tax approved by Contra Costa County voters on November 3, 2020 “to keep Contra Costa’s regional hospital open and staffed; fund community health centers, emer gency response ; support crucial safety -net services; invest in early childhood services; protect vulnerable populations; and for other essential county services.” Under the Measure X Program Allocation Summary, only $10 million dollars (about 13% of FY 202 2-23 funding a nd a bout 4.5% of total funding) were allocated to a Local Housing Trust Fund; for FY 2023 -24, $12 million dollars were allocated. The Measure X Housing Funds are to be dispersed by the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) and the Health Services’ Health, Housing and Homeless (HSD-H3) Services and the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa. The use of Measure X funds for housing are reported by the Cou nty here:
https://www.contracosta.ca.gov/8530/Measure-X
T
he jurisdiction has identified local funding sources for each of their Program Actions in their Housing Element to support affordable housing projects that address RHNA targets for very low- and low-income residents.

SUMMARY
The civil grand jury began this investigation to understand how Contra Costa County is addressing the need for affordable housing. We started by reviewing California Housing and Community reports titled Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) results for the County.

These reports, issued at the end of each Housing Element cycle, show housing permits issued for various resident income classification groups against state mandated targets. Each city plus unincorporated County areas of responsibility results are listed. Appendix 3 comprises results for the past 3 Housing Element cycles plus targets for the latest cycle 2023-2031.

After reviewing these reports, we realized that most cities and our County were not providing the required number of housing permits primarily for very low- and low-income resident housing.

Close examination of these reports reveals the scale and accelerated progression of missed targets. Additionally, these reports show that the very low- and low-income resident categories reflect the largest percentage of missed RHNA and plan targets over the past 20 years.

Based on these initial findings, we focused our efforts on housing for residents classified as very low or low income. We wanted to understand who in local government is responsible for implementation of approved housing plans and why were those plans failing to address permit targets for very low- and low-income residents. What are the drivers/obstacles behind these missed targets, and what actions were being taken to increase the availability of affordable housing for these residents throughout our County.

What we found was that although there is ownership for the creation and approval of Housing Elements that address affordable housing targets, we could not find clear assigned responsibility inside local government to implement plans after approval. This problem, combined with the myriad of challenging obstacles outlined in this report has translated into years of missed targets for residents classified as very low or low income. Without significant changes to how local governments address affordable housing, cities and the County risk the imposition of State mandated solutions that bypass local development protocols. This report is a summation of our work, findings and recommendations for improvement.

BACKGROUND
The housing element cycle was introduced in 1969, when the California State Legislature passed laws requiring that all cities and counties adequately plan to meet the housing needs of people at all income levels in the community. California’s local governments meet this requirement by adopting housing plans as part of their “general plan” (also required by the state).

The process involves significant planning from experts in local government, and citizens are asked proactively for input on these proposed plans before being submitted to the State for approval. The Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) approves all HEPs.

The role of the state, besides approval of each HEP, is to identify the total number of homes required by resident income classification so that cities and counties can include these numbers in their HEPs. These numbers are required to be included in each city and County HEP.

Determining individual income classifications is a County-specific exercise. It starts with a determination of County Area Median Income (AMI). As noted in Table 1 below, the state defines for each County, which is then extrapolated into specific resident income classifications.

After development of housing allocation numbers by HCD, the data is passed down to the regional authority, the Association of Bay Area Governments, (ABAG), as a Regional Housing Need Determination (RHND). This is the first step in California’s process to plan for the housing needs in each region of the state. It is RHND’s responsibility to also track permits issued against allocation targets in each Housing Element Plan (HEP). This tracking of progress against targets is communicated through ABAG issued reports (Appendix 3).

The next step, allocation, is also the role of the regional authority, ABAG. It is their responsibility to allocate a share of the RHND housing numbers to each city and County as a Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA). These numbers are broken out by resident income, classified as very low income, low income, moderate income and above moderate income.

The next two tables reflect Contra Costa County’s average median income, occupation, and wages of some of the County residents. We wanted to understand who in our community is part of the very low- and low-income groups. We realized that we all probably know someone who may be impacted by the shortage of affordable housing in the County.

Table 1 below, from the California Department of Housing and Community Development website, shows the state definition of income limits for residents in Contra Costa County based on the calculation of the average median income (AMI). AMI is based on the collective income of all the persons in a household (total household income).

Table 2 below contains data from govsalaries.com. It identifies by occupation some of the County occupations that fall into the very low- and low-income classifications as well as a few occupations that are just over the threshold, falling into the median income group.

Table 2: 2022 CCC Wages, Rent to Income, AMI Status

In addition to residents in these occupational categories, a lack of very low- and low-income affordable housing impacts senior County residents (over the age of 65). Seniors are one of the fastest growing population segments in the County. The most recent US Census for the County indicates that 6.7 percent of the total population, over 200,000 residents, is over the age of 65, an increase of 12.5 percent since 2010. The California Department of Aging projects that this group of residents will grow by over 150 percent by 2060.

They highlight the disappointing results in housing permits issued against mandated allocations for very low- and low-income residents.

Chart 1 shows a 21-year decline in the percentage of permits issued for very low-income residents, even as allocation targets stayed relatively flat. For the upcoming 2023-2031 allocation cycle for very low-income housing, allocations have tripled.

Chart 2 shows a 15-year decline in low-income housing permits, with an uplift in the most recent allocation cycle. However, the County still only issued permits for about half of the allocations mandated by the state for this same period. And again, the upcoming allocation cycle for 2023- 2031 has a significant bump in the mandated allocation for low-income housing.

Chart 2: Low Income Housing Allocations and Permits for CCC

The data published in charts 1 & 2 above illustrates that over the period 1999-2020 the County has failed to provide the number of housing units mandated by the State of California and as they have planned for in their individual city and County element plans for very low- and low-income residents.

To understand the allocation targets and whether all income groups were equally impacted, the grand jury again looked at whether there had been any progress made against RHNA targets within any of the other income groups. What we found was that housing permits for high income housing had outpaced other income groups, with high income permits more than double all other income group housing permits combined. Close examination of the details published in the reports found in Appendix 3 validates this reality. The next 2 charts again use graphic descriptions of this published data to reinforce the magnitude of the problem.

How will each city and the County meet more challenging targets (Appendix 5) for very low- and low-income housing in the next Housing Element cycle and what might enable attainment in the future?

DISCUSSION
In every interview the grand jury conducted with city and County officials, all communicated that they care deeply about the affordable housing issue in their communities. However, none of those interviewed acknowledged or identified themselves, their department or any other agency as having responsibility for the actual attainment of RHNA housing targets. Although we found the Housing Element Plans on the various city and the County entities, we did not find any language or group description that identified an owning entity that is either accountable or responsible for the execution of the Housing Element Plan, identifying and addressing obstacles, or attaining state mandated targets. The grand jury was unable to find any owner for the actual achievement of state mandated housing targets. Meaning that once a Housing Element plan containing the mandated housing targets for each income group was approved, no individual or department was responsible for implementing the approved Housing Element plan or accountable for the progress/results against the established targets within the plan.

Our investigation looked at three specific areas that should enable affordable housing. First, the RHNA targets identified in housing element plans and who in local government takes ownership to implement approved HEPs. Second, what control do our cities and the County have in the affordable housing development process? Finally, the state’s relationship with our cities and the County: how decisions by the state impact affordable housing development in our County.

RHNA Targets and City and County Responsibility

Each city is required by the State of California to provide an updated housing element plan for approval every eight years. The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), a Bay Area local government consortium whose mission is to strengthen cooperation and collaboration across local governments in order to build healthier and stronger communities, receives the affordable housing target data from the state. This data outlines how much housing will be needed, by income category, for the next reporting cycle. ABAG distributes the individual targets for each city and the County for the current cycle. ABAG then provides a report, before the next housing element cycle, which documents each city and the County results against targets.

Contra Costa County city and County performance in issuing housing permits for very low- and low-income residents for the last three housing element cycles, 1999-2006, 2007-2014 and 2015- 2020, showed significant misses of actual permits issued against the targets.

The charts in Appendix 3 reflect the number of permits issued by city, against RHNA allocation targets for each housing element. Appendix 5 is the final RHNA allocation for 2023-2031. All data presented in appendices 3 and 5 reflect that our cities and County are permitting housing, primarily for residents in the 120 percent of median or higher income classification.

City and County officials are primarily focused on getting HCD to approve an individual housing element plan. In multiple interviews with various city officials, after HEP approval we did not find examples of consistent communication of progress to meeting targets for very low- and low- income residents. In these same interviews, RHNA targets were described as “aspirational, not B16
Affordable Housing
A Plan Without a Home
Contra Costa County 2022-2023 Civil Grand Jury Report 2306 13 of 38 Grand Jury Reports are posted at http://www.cc-courts.org/grandjury realistic, or not attainable.” Interviewees used different words, but overall, RHNA targets were considered mostly an academic exercise that no one takes seriously. Furthermore, we did not find a specific owner for attainment of the housing element plan allocations, leading us to believe that this could well be one of the key reasons for our County’s failure to realize (permit and build) affordable housing for very low- and low-income residents.

Additional Obstacles that Hinder the Development of AH
Six additional obstacles to the development of AH for residents identified as very low- and low- income are:
• limited availability of land;
• restrictive zoning policies specific to AH development; • limited developer interest to bring projects forward; • limited funding;
• lack of community support;
• NIMBY – an industry term that denotes opposition to development in a neighborhood, community, or city.

These obstacles are not uniform or constant across the County. Rather, some are more pronounced in one area or at one time.

Limited Availability of Land
Cities with less available land, but access to mass transit hubs, benefit from incentives to build AH close to transit centers. West County cities have benefitted the most from these projects. East County cities with large tracts of undeveloped land have had recent success in building AH projects for very low- and low-income residents. The Antioch Family and Senior Apartments project, completed in 2022, is an example of a successful AH project, in that it was submitted, approved, and completed in a relatively short time period with minimal roadblocks (References/ Bibliography East Bay Times October 22, 2022). Central County cities must balance extremely high land costs against AH development needs.

Restrictive Zoning Policies Specific to AH Development
City zoning ordinances vary greatly throughout the County but in many instances are not conducive to the development of AH. For instance, we conducted a limited proactive review of existing zoning policies to see if there were any subtle changes to local building codes that could be made to ease the approval of AH projects. Some cities zone land for AH development, but land that is far from basic services, in very expensive-to-develop areas, or in environmentally sensitive locations. Some cities have restrictive height zoning ordinances. Many cities do not have an inclusionary housing ordinance. (An inclusionary housing ordinance requires developers to set aside select units for very low- and low-income residents when proposing projects or to pay cities for the exclusion creating a local funding opportunity.)

A Plan Without a Home
Contra Costa County 2022-2023 Civil Grand Jury Report 2306 14 of 38 Grand Jury Reports are posted at http://www.cc-courts.org/grandjury Developer Interest to Bring Projects Forward
Actions by local city councils greatly influence how developers view their ability to successfully create an AH development. In our interviews with city officials and developers, it was determined that city councils that work openly to mitigate community concerns, don’t flip flop after a project has been properly vetted, and are willing to team with developers as partners throughout the long approval and development process are viewed as fostering conducive and supportive environments for AH development. Failure to team with a developer or to actively address obstacles during the approval and development process often results in failing to meet AH targets.

Limited Funding
The lack of funding and the complexity associated with getting funding support for AH projects are obstacles. The state prioritizes AH projects that provide some local funding support.

Developers who rely on tax incentives to help secure project funding get a better place in line to have their projects approved if there is demonstrated local funding support. City officials attribute the elimination of redevelopment agencies as a local funding source in 2012 as a key reason local funding has been so difficult to obtain. The County has been slow to provide alternative funding sources. Voters passed Measure X in 2020, and housing funds will finally be available in 2023. Other Bay Area counties took a more assertive role in providing alternative funding support for their cities.

In 2016, Alameda County passed measure A1, which dedicated $580 million for AH. In 2016, Santa Clara County passed Measure A, which allocated $950 million for AH. In Contra Costa County, Measure X carved out $240 million as a dedicated housing fund, with a stipulation that only $12 million annually for 20 years will be allocated to support housing. No funds are dedicated specifically to building housing for very low- and low-income residents, and there is no direct link of fund requests to achieving RHNA targets.

Lack of Community Support
Cities across the County have a wide range of policies around outreach and education about AH.

The effort to educate communities as to why this housing issue is so important is broadly different across the County. In reviewing successful AH projects completed in the County citizen involvement and participation has shown to lessen local opposition to AH.

NIMBY Opposition and City Council response to NIMBY Opposition NIMBY opposition was frequently cited by the developers that we interviewed as a primary cause of wasted resources and unnecessary project delays. Communities where projects get tied up in extensive local battles with non-supportive citizens or with city councils that reverse earlier decisions made through the normal local development process were cited by developers as influencing whether they would consider proposing AH projects in these communities.

A Plan Without a Home
Contra Costa County 2022-2023 Civil Grand Jury Report 2306 15 of 38 Grand Jury Reports are posted at http://www.cc-courts.org/grandjury Cities and Their Relationship with the State of California The state grants cities and counties broad independence to do what is best for their community regarding housing development. But the state retains the ability to override local city jurisdiction.

The Builder’s Remedy provision in California’s Housing Accountability Act has been in place since 1990. It grants developers the authority to bypass any local zoning or approval process and move projects forward if a local government entity is not in compliance with its current Housing Element plans. Compliance has meant meeting the requirement to have an approved HEP. While in place for many years, the state, until recently, has rarely enforced this provision. City and County officials who were interviewed recognize that there is now a more intense state oversight process to plan submissions, and there are potential penalties for poor content plans or plans that do not get approved by state deadlines. This renewed intensity of focus has forced cities and counties to improve the quality of their Housing Element plans. The Builder’s Remedy is the draconian solution that the state may enforce if cities insist on proposing Housing Element plans that are not implementable. The city and County officials interviewed for this investigation expect to get their housing element plans approved. But again, plan approval does not equal plan implementation.

Senate Bill 35 allows qualifying development projects with certain minimum affordable housing guarantees to move more quickly through the local government review process. The bill amended the Government Code to restrict the ability of local governments to reject these projects. A project approved under SB 35 cannot be challenged under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This is an important feature of projects developed under SB35 as much has been discussed publicly about how CEQA lawsuits have been used to slow or stop the development of AH projects. Appendix 4 identifies individual cities and counties that have met their prorated very low- and low-income RHNA goals for the latest reporting period.

It’s a small list. In this County, only El Cerrito qualified for exemption from SB 35. We did not find examples of projects being developed in this County that have been or could be streamlined under SB 35.

Cities in this County that propose Housing Element plans, implement their approved plans, and meet RHNA targets for very low- and low-income residents will not run the risk of losing local development control through either Builder’s Remedy or SB35.

Contra Costa County 2022-2023 Civil Grand Jury Report 2306 16 of 38 Grand Jury Reports are posted at http://www.cc-courts.org/grandjury Findings and Recommendations
Findings:

F1. Within existing city or County infrastructure there is no clear owner who is responsible for achieving RHNA permitting targets.

F2. City and County officials see no direct path to meet state-mandated regional housing (RHNA) targets.

F3. There are currently no measurable penalties if a city or a County does not achieve RHNA targets in an approved housing element plan.

F4. Data published by ABAG shows that Contra Costa County and most of its cities have missed their current RHNA targets for very low- and low-income housing allocations. The allocation requirements continue to increase (16x for very low-income and 4x for low- income residents).

F5. Many obstacles hinder the development of AH at the local level, specifically for very low- and low-income housing, including:
a. Limited availability of land;
b. Restrictive zoning policies specific to AH development; c. Limited developer interest to bring projects forward; d. Limited available funding;
e. Lack of community support;
f. NIMBY opposition & city council response to NIMBY opposition.

F6. Zoning changes are generally addressed only when a project is presented for development.

F7. Penalties directed at cities and the County (financial, loss of control over local planning) are tied to not meeting state deadlines for Housing Element plan approval

F8. Builder’s Remedy and SB35 projects do not address ingrained local obstacles identified in this report that prevent the completion of approved AH projects.

F9. When local Redevelopment Agencies (RDA’s) were discontinued by the state in 2012, the County and cities did not address the loss of funding for affordable housing or find alternative funding to support affordable housing projects until voters passed Measure X in November 2020. Projects that target very low- and low-income residents were particularly impacted.

B20
Affordable Housing

Contra Costa County 2022-2023 Civil Grand Jury Report 2306 17 of 38 Grand Jury Reports are posted at http://www.cc-courts.org/grandjury F10. Measure X housing funds are not fully dedicated to building AH for very low- and low- income residents.

F11. Local funding provided by bonds like Measure X Housing Fund is a critical component of a developer’s overall ability to raise funds for an AH development.

F12. Cities that proactively engage citizens, address zoning obstacles, make reasonable zoning concessions, work collaboratively with developers, provide local funding support, and are united in addressing NIMBY opposition, have been successful in attracting AH projects.

F13. The latest RHNA targets for cities and unincorporated Contra Costa County show a significant increase in the number of units that are expected to be permitted for very low- and low-income housing.

Recommendations:

R1. Each city and the County should consider assigning a staff position with clear leadership, ownership and accountability to achieve allocated RHNA targets. The individual in this position would be responsible for establishing and promoting an operational plan to achieve the RHNA goals set forth in the housing element plan.

R2. Each city and the County should report AH progress and lack of progress using data across all four measured income groups. Special attention should be paid to tracking the housing needs of residents categorized as very low- and low-income. Cities and the County should communicate their progress, biannually, against RHNA targets at council and supervisor meetings.

R3. Each city and the County should consider creating a dedicated AH commission comprised of a multi-disciplinary team of diverse citizens and led by a current, nonelected, city expert in planning. Each commission would be charged with providing a community voice in the process and helping to identify and address obstacles that hinder the development of affordable housing projects in their community.

R4. Each city and the County should consider reviewing existing processes and identifying changes that would address or resolve the specific obstacles identified in this report that hinder achieving RHNA allocation targets for very low- and low-income housing in their community.

R5. Each city and the County should consider developing a public dashboard to report progress against RHNA targets.

R6. Each city and the County should consider, in their individual Housing Element plans, putting forth land zoned “suitable for residential use,” without development obstacles, and located strategically close to existing services, for AH purposes.

Contra Costa County 2022-2023 Civil Grand Jury Report 2306 18 of 38 Grand Jury Reports are posted at http://www.cc-courts.org/grandjury R7. Each city and the County should consider reviewing their zoning policies to identify restrictive zoning policies unique to their jurisdiction that impede AH projects and consider making zoning changes in light of that review that will support AH in their community.

R8. Cities should consider adopting an inclusionary housing ordinance as part of their standard development policy by the end of 2023 (if not already in place).

R9. Each city and the County should consider how to prioritize the implementation of housing projects that promote development of very low- and low-income housing.

R10. Each city and the County should consider prioritizing Measure X funding requests that support projects that address RHNA targets for very low- and low-income residents. Each city and County should consider reporting regularly to their residents on the use of Measure X funds for such purposes.

STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: Regular Meeting of September 12, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBMITTED BY: Lori Medeiros, Administrative Analyst I '/yr-- APPROVED BY: Scott Buenting, Acting Public Works Director/City Engineer� SUBJECT: Seventh Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement with Woodard & Curran for the West Antioch Creek Silt Removal Project; P.W. 201-5A

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution:

1. Approving a seventh amendment to the consulting services agreement with Woodard & Curran for professional consulting services for the West Antioch Creek Silt Removal Project in the amount of $152,992 for a total contract amount of $1,826,000 attached as Exhibit "1" to the Resolution; and

2. Authorizing the Acting City Manager or designee to execute the seventh amendment to the consulting services agreement in a form approved by the City Attorney.

FISCAL IMPACT
Adoption of this resolution will increase the consulting services agreement with Woodard & Curran ("W&C") by $152,992 for a total contract amount of $1,826,000. The fiscal year 2023/24 Operating Budget includes funding through the Sewer Enterprise Fund for this increase. In addition, the fiscal year 2023/24 Capital Improvement Budget includes funding through a State of California Department of Water Resources Proposition 1 Integrated Regional Water Management Implementation Grant for work related to the West Antioch Creek Silt Removal Project ("Project").

DISCUSSION
On November 27, 2012, the City Council awarded a contract to W&C for engineering design, environmental permitting, construction support and project management services pertaining to channel improvements to West Antioch Creek. The scope of these improvements included increasing the capacity of the channel between West Tenth Street and West 8th Street and desilting the creek from West 8th Street to approximately 200 feet north of a BNSF railroad trestle.

Agenda Item #
Antioch City Council Report
September 12, 2023, Agenda Item #J 2
In 2019, the conveyance improvements between West 10th Street and West 8th Street were completed. This work consisted of replacing the undersized structural plate steel arch culverts under West 10th Street with four pre-cast reinforced concrete culverts measuring 14 feet wide, 7 feet high and 100 feet long. A concrete lined channel from West 10th Street to West 8th Street was replaced with an earthen channel and with fence installed along the perimeter. W&C developed preliminary plans for the desilting of the lower reach of the channel north of West 8th Street, however due to complications encountered during the permitting process and a lack of funding, these improvements were not constructed.

Staff has obtained a $700,000 grant through the State of California Department of Water Resources Proposition 1 Integrated Regional Water Management Implementation Grant Program. These funds are designated to assist the City in removing accumulated soil and debris from the lower reach of West Antioch Creek.

On October 12, 2021, the City Council approved the sixth amendment to W&C's Agreement which provided permitting assistance and preparation of contract documents suitable for public bidding for the removal of silt and debris along the existing low-flow channel located between West 8th Street and 4th Street. The low-flow channel and surrounding this portion of the channel is classified as a water of the United States and has been designated as habitat for the red legged frog and Delta smelt, resulting in the need for the acquisition of construction permits from State and Federal regulatory agencies and mitigation and restoration of the area post-construction. The required permits include a 404 permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and a 401 permit from the Regional Water Quality Control Board. A California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration titled, "FINAL Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration ("IS/MND") West Antioch Creek Channel Improvement Project and Responses to Comments" that included this work has been prepared and accepted in 2014 for the entire project. Existing biological reports including the Aquatic Resources Delineation, Biological Assessment, Biological Resources Assessment and Mitigation and Monitoring Plan have been updated to reflect current conditions.

Staff is recommending amending the seventh amendment to W&C's Agreement for Engineering Services During Construction, which includes the required environmental and monitoring services for the silt removal portion of the Project.
