Celebrating Hall Ambulance 50 Years of Service
in the City of Arvin, California
WHEREAS, On March 1, 2025, Hall Ambulance Service, Inc. will celebrate 50 years of service to the city of Arvin; and
WHEREAS, This community holds a special place in the heart of the Hall family and the many paramedics, emergency medical technicians, and dispatchers who have cared for its citizens over the past five decades, as it was the first city outside of Bakersfield that Founder Harvey L. Hall expanded his ambulance service after starting his business in 1971; and
WHEREAS, Because of his outstanding work, Mr. Hall was recognized as an exceptional caregiver with a sterling reputation. With 11 years of experience, he developed a vision for the type of ambulance company he desired to build based on his ideals of care, compassion, and community; and WHEREAS, On February 10, 1971, with a $15,000 bank loan and a lot of enthusiasm, Hall Ambulance Service began answering the call from his personal residence, located at 1307 S. H Street in Bakersfield, serving as headquarters; and
WHEREAS, Having gained valuable experience in his first four years of business, Mr. Hall was ready to take the next step by expanding his service outside of Bakersfield. He looked at the city of Arvin, where various attempts by other services to staff on-call volunteer programs proved unsuccessful. On March 1, 1975, Hall Ambulance initiated service to the agricultural community and, a year later, expanded to neighboring Lamont; and WHEREAS, At a January 1977 Arvin City Council meeting, Mr. Hall announced plans to expand to full-time, 24- hour service from the company’s ambulance station located at 429 Tucker Street; and WHEREAS, Through the years, Hall Ambulance has maintained a close relationship with the city of Arvin and its people through providing exemplary ambulance service and being an active part of the community. This includes participation in community events, doing ambulance demos at local schools to teach children about EMS, participating in the Every 15 Minutes program at Arvin High School, and in the annual Arvin Christmas Parade; and WHEREAS, Mr. Hall lost his life on May 19, 2018, to sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. Since then, his wife, Mrs. Lavonne C. Hall, who serves as Chairman of the Board and CAO, President & CEO Jonathon R. Surface, a dedicated management team, and employees have carried forward Mr. Hall’s ideals, ensuring Hall Ambulance’s high standard of care remains unchanged; and
WHEREAS, In celebration of this milestone anniversary, Hall Ambulance is hosting a community celebration on March 1, 2025, at Garden in the Sun Park, featuring ambulance displays, an appearance by Siren the Rescue Dog, mariachi music, and community resource booths; and
WHEREAS, Today, its ambulance crews continue responding to those in need of medical aid from Hall Ambulance Post 54, located at 144 ½ Arvin Avenue.

NOW, THEREFORE, on behalf of all the citizens of the City of Arvin, We, the City Council of the City of Arvin are honored to celebrate Hall Ambulance 50 Years of Services in the City of Arvin.

IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have set my hand hereunto and caused to be affixed the seal of the City of Arvin, California, on this 11th day of March 2025.

AMERICAN RED CROSS MONTH
MARCH 2025
WHEREAS, This March, we celebrate American Red Cross Month by recognizing the compassionate acts of people in City of Arvin and by renewing our commitment to lend a helping hand to our neighbors in need.

WHEREAS, Since Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross more than 140 years ago, generation after generation has stepped up to deliver relief and care across our country and around the world, bringing out the best of humanity in times of crisis. Advancing this noble mission, the volunteers and supporters who now give back through the American Red Cross, Kern County and Eastern Sierra Chapter remain unwavering in their commitment to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of today’s emergencies.

WHEREAS, Volunteers of the American Red Cross throughout Kern County and Eastern Sierra regions readily respond to the needs of the community. During the summer of 2024, the Borel fire burned areas surrounding the community of Lake Isabella.

WHEREAS, Red Cross volunteers responded immediately to the needs of the community, setting up safe, clean shelters in nearby Ridgecrest and Tehachapi, welcoming all families and neighbors displaced from their homes by the wildfires. Their voluntary and generous contributions shine a beacon of hope in people’s darkest hours — whether it’s delivering shelter, food and comfort during disasters; providing critical blood donations for hospital patients; supporting service members, veterans and their families; saving lives with first aid, CPR, AED and other skills; or delivering international aid and reconnecting loved ones separated by global crises.

WHEREAS, This work to uplift our community is truly made possible by those who selflessly answer the call to help, whenever and wherever it’s needed. We hereby recognize this month of March in honor of their remarkable service, and we ask everyone to join in their commitment to care for one another.

NOW, THEREFORE, We, the City Council of the City of Arvin, California, do hereby proclaim March 2025 as Red Cross Month and we encourage all citizens of the City of Arvin to reach out and support its humanitarian mission.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have set my hand hereunto and caused to be affixed the seal of the City of Arvin, California, on this 11th day of March 2025.

TO: Arvin City Council
FROM: Isaiah Medina, Planning Consultant

Jake Raper, Planning Consultant
Jeff Jones, City Manager / Finance Director
SUBJECT: Approval of A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Arvin Approving A Plan of Finance for the Acquisition and Rehabilitation of the Monte Vista, Parkview Apartments, and Haciendas Del Sol (Collectively Known as Arvin Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD), Including the Issuance by the Housing Authority of the County of Kern of Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds not to Exceed $24,000,000.00.

CITY COUNCIL HEARING/PROJECT PRESENTATION:
• Open the public hearing.
• Kern County Housing Authority Staff and City Staff/City Consultant to present the Staff Report
• Provide opportunity to receive public comments.
• Close the public hearing.
• Act upon Staff’s Recommendation as noted below:

BACKGROUND:

The City of Arvin Grants and Planning staff have been assisting the Kern County Housing Authority in the preparation of applications and environmental clearances for the rehabilitation of the existing Kern County Housing Authority units in the City of Arvin. The Kern County Housing Authority is ready to proceed with their implementation of the rehabilitation programs.

The City of Arvin has received a request from the Housing Authority of the County of Kern to conduct a public hearing and adopt a resolution as required by the Internal Revenue Code in order to issue tax-exempt multifamily housing bonds in an aggregate amount not to exceed $24 million, the proceeds of which will be used to make a loan to acquire and rehabilitate 3 existing developments. The three existing developments are:

1. Monte Vista Apartment Complex, 508 Stockton Avenue, 50-unit existing multi-family housing complex; and

2. Parkview Apartment Complex; 901-1087 McElroy Street, 28-unit existing multi-family housing complex; and

3. Haciendas Del Sol Development, 910-934 Wernli Court and 911-933 Austin Court, 36- unit existing single-family homes.

AERIAL VIEW OF THE THREE EXISTING HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS

6.A.1
Attachment: 1-Staff Report TEFRA Public Hearing - Kern County Housing Authority_031125 (Public Hearing: TEFRA Tax Exempt Bonds - Kern Staff Report – Kern County Housing Authority – TEFRA Hearing for sell of bonds Page 3 of 7 This hearing and approval process is referred to as a TEFRA hearing, after the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1983, the regulations for which were promulgated under the Tax Code changes of 1986.

The bonds would be tax-exempt private activity bonds for the purposes of the Internal Revenue Code and as such, require the approval of the elected body of the governmental entity having jurisdiction over the location where the project to be financed is located. The City of Arvin will not be under any obligation to repay bond indebtedness.

In order for the Housing Authority to issue such bonds, the City of Arvin must 1) conduct a noticed public hearing allowing members of the public to comment on the proposed Project, and 2) approve the Housing Authority's issuance of bonds via Resolution. Although the Housing Authority (not the City of Arvin) will be the issuer of the tax-exempt multifamily housing bonds for the Project, the financing cannot proceed without the City of Arvin approving the issuance of the tax-exempt bonds.

The Housing Authority will issue the tax-exempt bonds on behalf of the Project. No financial obligations are placed on the City of Arvin for project financing costs or debt repayment.

Approval pursuant to the Resolution does not constitute any other approval by any commission or agency of the City with respect to any other City regulatory or other requirements, such as building permits, in connection with the Project.

Arvin RAD is a scattered site comprised of the following three existing, Housing Authority LowIncome Public Housing (LIPH) developments:
(1) Monte Vista, 508 Stockton Ave., Arvin, CA, consisting of 50 apartment homes (25 one-story duplexes comprised of 1,2,3 and 4-bedroom homes and one storage unit) located on Stockton Ave, La Vista Drive, and El Monte Drive. The maximum principal amount of tax-exempt bonds to be used for this site is $11 million.
(2) Parkview Apartments, 901 McElroy Street, Arvin, CA, consisting of 28 one-bedroom apartment homes in seven, one-story fourplexes. The maximum principal amount of tax-exempt bonds to be used for this site is $5 million.
(3) Haciendas del Sol, 933 Wernli Ct., Arvin, CA, consisting of 36 single family homes (singlestory 2-, 3-, and 4-bedroom homes). The maximum principal amount of tax-exempt bonds to be used for this site is $8 million.

The combined developments will have 112 low-income homes and 2 manager homes, one at Parkview Apartments and one at Monte Vista, for a combined total of 114 homes.

The Housing Authority has started the process of converting these LIPH developments to Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers under the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) Rental Assistance Demonstration (“RAD”) program. The RAD program allows Public Housing agencies such as the Housing Authority to preserve our existing LIPH developments by leveraging financial resources such as low-income housing tax credits. This allows the Housing Authority to stabilize and renovate these older properties to better accommodate the needs of our residents. Upon completion of the RAD conversion, the modernization process of rehabilitating Monte Vista, Parkview Apartments, and Haciendas del Sol, known as Arvin RAD, will begin.

The Housing Authority will fund the rehabilitation of the three sites through tax-exempt bonds authorized by the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (CDLAC) and 4% Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC). Arvin RAD was approved to receive a LIHTC award on December 11, 2024. The Housing Authority will secure a construction contractor and pull building permits within 180 days, which allows them to proceed with an expected rehabilitation start date in June 2025 and a completion date of December 2026.

Status of Permanent Funding Commitments: All permanent financing has been committed.

The Housing Authority Developer and Seller Carryback loans are committed and will be residual-based loans at 3% with a 55-year term.

Justification of Proposed Project Cost: The Housing Authority is an active developer of affordable housing in Kern County. Project costs are based on actual costs experienced by the Agency on recent rehabilitation projects, with a factor increase in expected increases in construction costs.

Site Acquisition: The Monte Vista, Parkview Apartments, and Haciendas del Sol sites are currently owned by the Housing Authority. The Housing Authority will sell the properties to Arvin RAD LP, a limited partnership: the Managing General Partner of the LP is GEAHI Arvin RAD LLC which is controlled by Golden Empire Affordable Housing, Inc., and the Administrative General Partner is Kern Arvin RAD LLC, which is controlled by the Housing Authority. The sale will occur at the time of the construction loan closing in May, which will coincide with the conversion of the properties under the RAD program.

Current Tenants: The three Arvin RAD LIPH properties currently restrict rent to 30 percent of the tenant’s income. This will continue after the RAD conversion and rehabilitation of the units, with no expected displacement of current residents. The current rehabilitation plan is to relocate the existing tenants to empty units at their site(s) for a period of approximately 60 days, with the tenants returning to their current unit post-rehabilitation.

Rehabilitation Project Site Summary: Monte Vista was built in 1951 and consist of one, two, three, and four-bedroom units in 25 one-story duplexes and one storage building, Parkview was built in 1986 and consists of 28 one-bedroom units in 7 one story fourplexes, and Haciendas del Sol was built in 1999 and consist of 36 two, three, and four-bedroom single-family home units.

Modernization is expected to start in June 2025 with an expected completion date no later than December 2026. The proposed hard construction cost budget is approximately $17,870,000 (including drywall, plumbing, electrical fixtures, showers, cabinets, countertops, sinks, flooring, appliances, HVAC, roof, electrical, appliances, site work, and plumbing as needed).

RAD Conversion: On February 27, 2024, the Arvin RAD development received from HUD a Commitment to Enter into a Housing Assistance Payments (CHAP) contract. The CHAP agreement allows for these current LIPH properties to receive a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher for each low-income unit in order to provide operational funding for this low-income development into the future. The RAD conversion will occur simultaneously with the rehabilitation funding through LIHTC.

Monitoring and Reporting: Upon project completion, Housing Authority staff will annually monitor the project’s operation and compliance with RAD program regulations through the 55- year affordability period. Monitoring will include an onsite visit to inspect housing units, and a desk review of client files, household rents, incomes, and other components of the project’s operation.

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE:

Public hearing notice was posted on February 25, 2025, at the three (3) designated sites; city clerk’s office, planning office, and police department, as well as being posted on the city’s website, providing a 10-day review, in accordance with Government Code Sections 36933, 65854, and 65090. (Public Hearing Notice and Posting Certification are on file at the City Clerk’s Office).

In addition, the Kern County Housing Authority caused a public hearing notice to be published in the Bakersfield California newspaper ten (10) days prior to March 11, 2025, City Council meeting.

ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE:

FISACL IMPACT:

There is no direct or indirect financial impact to the City of Arvin under the proposed financing. The Housing Authority will issue tax-exempt revenue bonds to be repaid by Arvin RAD. The tax-exempt revenue bonds are payable solely out of the revenues derived by the Borrower (Arvin RAD LP), with no financial obligations placed on the City of Arvin for the project financing costs or debt repayment.

The project’s main objective is to improve existing sustainable affordable housing used by very low-income individuals in the Arvin community. By supporting the issuance of bonds for this project, the City of Arvin would help the Housing Authority achieve these objectives:

1. Improve and sustain affordable housing for low-income individuals and families.

2. Provide new amenities and features that are energy efficient and sustainable living.

3. Provide long-term stable housing for a segment of the community who often find themselves financially burdened by the cost of housing.

4. Increase real estate market value in the community.

The Arvin RAD project exhibits positive cash flow throughout the period of affordability which puts the project in a comfortable place financially to succeed. The project’s rents are set at low rates by regulation, providing affordable housing for Arvin residents. Furthermore, the project’s viability is enhanced by Section 8 Vouchers from HUD that will go into effect at RAD conversion.

RHNA obligations, given that the development include 20 percent affordable units for lower-income households. The City shall permit appropriate densities of at least 20 units per acre on such parcels.

Agency: City of Arvin Planning Division.

Time Frame: This program shall take effect upon adoption of the housing element and will be supplemented by administrative procedures by December 31, 2025.

Financing: General Fund.”
City Staff has included program 13x in the 2025 code amendment as well:
“13 x) Amend Zoning Code to Permit Religious Institution-Affiliated Housing.

Amend the Zoning Ordinance to allow religious institution-affiliated housing development projects by right as accessory to permitted religious institution uses, consistent with Assembly Bills 1851 and 2244. The California legislature passed AB 1851 in 2020 and AB 2244 in 2022, which encourage the use of religious facility sites (including parking lots) for housing developments and prohibit jurisdictions from requiring replacement parking when used for qualified development. State law defines “religious institution affiliated housing” as housing that is on religious institution property and is eligible for a State density bonus, meaning it has elements of affordability.

In the interim period until the County completes updating the Zoning Ordinance, the County recognizes and will comply with any State law that supersedes any local laws and regulations pertaining to allowing religious institution-affiliated housing in base zoning districts and specific plan areas. Furthermore, to promote the development of religious institution-affiliated housing, the County will continue to conduct outreach to faith-based organizations during the planning period to discuss the possibilities of developing affordable housing on land they own or lease and provide technical assistance as needed. The County previously communicated with faith-based organizations during the first quarter of 2024 to this effect during the preparation of this Housing Element.

Agency: City of Arvin Planning Division.

Time Frame: December 2026 - Reach out to faith-based organizations by December 2025 to inform them/enable participation in the Zoning Ordinance amendment process; reach out to faith-based organizations to discuss the possibilities of developing affordable housing on land they own or lease by December 2026.

Financing: General Fund.

Geo. Targeting City-wide”

The 2025 code amendment will bring the 2023-2031 Housing Element into compliance with the State of California Housing Laws and once the code amendment is adopted by the City Council, the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development will provide final clearance letter to the City of Arvin.

Upon adoption of the zoning amendment by the City Council, Staff will forward the adopted code amendment to the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for its final review and approval. If comments are received, the ordinance may need to be further amended to address any changes.

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT:

In order for the City of Arvin to qualify for State and Federal Grants, the city must have an approved and certified Housing Element by the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development. The City of Arvin Grants Manager has grant applications pending and have planned for the submittal of grant applications in 2025 which require a certified housing element. Without a certified housing element, the city will not be eligible to receive grant funding.

AUTHORIZATION BY CITY COUNCIL:

On September 19, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2017-92 which authorized the City Manager to bring forward various code amendments; whenever the public necessity, convenience, general welfare, or good practices justify such action. The City Manager is recommending that the Planning Commission and City Council approve the proposed code amendment to Title 17 Zoning.

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE:

This public hearing notice was posted on February 25, 2025 by the City Clerk’s office at the following designated places for posting of public notices: (1) Arvin City Hall/City Council Chambers; (2) Arvin Police Department; and (3) Community Development Department; (4) City of Arvin’s website at www.arvin.org; providing a 10-day review, in accordance with Government Code Sections 36933, 65854, and 65090. Attachment 4.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND DETERMINATION:

The zoning code amendment 2025 to Title 17 Zoning, Chapter 17.055 Multiple Family Residential Design Review, implementing Housing Element Programs 13 v and 13x, is Statutory Exempted, Section 15282(h), from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA. The adopted amendments implement the adopted housing element program and are regulatory actions taken by the city. Staff has prepared a Draft Notice of Exemption for the Zoning Code Amendment, Attachment 5.

FISCAL CONSIDERATIONS:

Revenue Reduction: Minor reduction in revenues due to the state's ordinance requiring projects to be approved ministerially (without public hearings). However, the processing of development applications for affordable housing projects eliminates the need for public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council.

Research and Ordinance Adoption: This Project is funded by LEAP grant by the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development for the purpose of providing additional opportunities for housing, in line with the goals contained in the Arvin General Plan and 2013-2023 Housing Element and the updated 2023-2031 Housing Element.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommend the City Council open the hearing, allow for public testimony, close the hearing, introduce the Ordinance and waive first reading of the Ordinance to be read by title only, and approve the introduction of Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Arvin Approve Zoning Code Amendment 2025 - Ordinance amends Title 17 Zoning – Chapter 17.055 Multiple Family Residential Design Review Ministerial Permits and Accept California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) A Notice of Exemption.

Arvin, CA 93203
Dear Jeffrey Jones:

RE: City of Arvin’s 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Revised Draft Housing Element Thank you for submitting the City of Arvin’s (City) revised draft housing element update that was received for review on December 17,2023. Pursuant to Government Code section 65585, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is reporting the results of its review. Our review was facilitated by various conversation from July to November 2024 with the City’s consultants, and Christine Viterelli. The review was expedited to enable the jurisdiction to meet funding criteria for the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program.

HCD is pleased to find the revised draft housing element meets the statutory requirements of State Housing Element Law (Gov. Code, § 65580 et seq.). However, the housing element cannot be found in substantial compliance until the City has completed necessary rezones as described below. The housing element will comply with State Housing Element Law when rezoning is complete and the element is adopted, submitted to and approved by HCD, in accordance with Government Code section 65585.

For your information, pursuant to Assembly Bill 1398 (Chapter 358, Statutes of 2021), as the City did not adopt a compliant housing element within 120 days of the statutory deadline (December 31, 2023), programs (e.g., Action 13 (v) (Update and Amend the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance)) to make prior identified sites available pursuant to Government Code section 65583.2, subdivision (c), must be completed no later than one year from the statutory deadline. As this year will likely pass prior to re-adoption and completion of Action 13(v) (Update and Amend the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance), the housing element is out of compliance and will remain out of compliance until the rezoning has been completed.

Public participation in the development, adoption and implementation of the housing element is essential to effective housing planning. Throughout the housing element process, the City must continue to engage the community, including organizations that

represent lower-income and special needs households, by making information regularly available while considering and incorporating comments where appropriate. Please be aware, any revisions to the element must be posted on the local government’s website and to email a link to all individuals and organizations that have previously requested notices relating to the local government’s housing element at least seven days before submitting to HCD.

For your information, pursuant to Government Code section 65583.3, subdivision (b), the City must utilize standards, forms, and definitions adopted by HCD when preparing the sites inventory and submit an electronic version of the sites inventory. While the City has submitted an electronic version of the sites inventory, if changes occur, any future re-adopted versions of the element must also submit the electronic version of the sites inventory.

Several federal, state, and regional funding programs consider housing element compliance as an eligibility or ranking criteria. For example, the CalTrans Senate Bill (SB) 1 Sustainable Communities grant, the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities programs, and HCD’s Permanent Local Housing Allocation consider housing element compliance and/or annual reporting requirements pursuant to Government Code section 65400. With a compliant housing element, the City will meet housing element requirements for these and other funding sources.

For your information, some general plan element updates are triggered by housing element adoption. HCD reminds the City to consider timing provisions and welcomes the opportunity to provide assistance. For information, please see the Technical Advisories issued by the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research at:
https://www.opr.ca.gov/planning/general-plan/guidelines.html.

HCD appreciates the hard work and dedication of the entire housing element team, in preparation of the City’s housing element and looks forward to receiving the City’s re-adopted housing element. If you have any questions or need additional technical assistance, please contact Jose Armando Jauregui, of our staff, at [email protected].

Sincerely,
Paul McDougall
Senior Program Manager

the amount, type, size, and location of vacant land, recyclable properties and parcels that are candidates for consolidation to assist developers identify land suitable for residential development.

The city will annually update the inventory and the number of net units constructed in each income category for that year. If the inventory indicates a shortage of adequate sites to accommodate the remaining share of the city's regional housing need, the city will identify alternative sites so that there is “no net loss” of residential capacity pursuant to Government Code Section 65863.

To facilitate the annual evaluation, the city will continue to implement a formal ongoing project-byproject procedure pursuant to Government Code Section 65863 which will evaluate the identified capacity in the sites inventory relative to projects or other actions potentially reducing density and identity additional sites as necessary. This procedure and annual evaluation will address land zoned for non-residential or mixed use to determine whether these sites are being developed for uses other than residential. If the city finds non-residential uses occurring on mixed use or non-residentially zoned sites, the city will identify and establish additional sites and/or incentives within six (6) months following the annual evaluation to promote residential development, particularly on sites zoned higher density.

Further, as part of the annual evaluation, the city will monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of programs and incentives to encourage lot consolidation and residential development on non-vacant sites sufficient to accommodate the city's housing needs. The evaluation will consider criteria such as interest in development, project proposals and approvals, lot consolidations, proposed and approved densities, impacts on development costs and the development of housing affordable to lower income households. If these programs are not effective in encouraging and facilitating the redevelopment of identified sites to provide sufficient opportunities to accommodate the city’s housing needs, alternative strategies and sites will be identified and established within six months following the annual evaluation.

Objectives: 1) Maintain an up-to-date inventory of adequate housing sites for each income category on the city's website.
2) Perform an annual evaluation to determine whether sites are being utilized for residential development and monitor the effectiveness of programs and incentives.

22. Equal Housing Opportunity Program.

The City will continue to work with the Greater Bakersfield Legal Assistance (GBLA) in helping the general public relating to housing discrimination. GBLA is a non- profit organization under contract with the city to provide fair housing services. All fair housing complaints received by the city will be referred to GBLA. GBLA will document the incidences of housing discrimination and the provide a variety of services to help resolve landlord-tenant disputes. Other services provided by GBLS include legal counsel, mediation, educational workshops, case management, and referrals for housing and community resources. In addition, the city and GBLA will identify consultation strategies with fair housing and counseling organizations in the city.

Since the city has elected to seek federal funds (CDBG and HOME) through the State, the city will actively participate in the development of the State’s Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) to affirmatively further fair housing in Arvin. The AFH is a new tool and document that assesses the factors that cause barriers to fair housing choice. It will assess four issues: 1) disparity in terms of access to community assets; 2) segregation; 3) racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty; and 4) disproportionate housing needs. The AFH will also provide goals that the city will undertake to correct these issues.

Furthermore, the city will support the recommendations of the 2014 San Joaquin Valley Fair Housing and Equity Assessment (FHEA) that was prepared by the California Coalition for Rural Housing. The FHEA analyzes patterns in racial and economic segregation, discusses how segregation impacts individuals’ and families’ ability to access housing opportunity, and proposes strategies and recommendations to create more equitable and integrated communities. Some of the recommendations include:

1. Use the data and findings in the FHEA document to guide local Consolidated Planning Processes, ongoing CDBG and HOME funding allocations, Housing Elements Processes, and other city planning documents.

2. Actively seek funding for marginalized or distressed communities, such as Transit Oriented Development Funds, Strategic Growth Council grants, HCD's Housing-Related Parks Program, Safe Routes to School, and Brownfield funding.

3. Develop and implement a proactive code enforcement program that holds property owners accountable and proactively plans for resident relocation when necessary.

4. Consider new technologies and/or products such as modular housing construction to reduce costs and increase access to housing.

28. State Legislation to Permit Cities and Counties to Collect Tax Increment Financing to Promote Affordable Housing and Administration.

The cancellation of Redevelopment Agencies and its powers to collect tax increment financing has dried up, in part, funds available to cities and counties to advance housing development. The lack of funds for housing, in light of the enormity of the housing demand in the state, and ever increasing RHNA and concomitant demands on local governments need enormous funds to administer a successful housing program. Tax increment financing should be limited to the administration of housing, production of affordable housing, and to provide financial incentives to applicants.

Objective: Tax increment funding of Affordable housing administration and proving incentives housing production.

Agency: City Council/City Manager/League of Cities and Counties.

Funding: General Fund
Timing: Annual effort to canvass for legislation.

29. Place-Based Neighborhood Revitalization.

Objective: The City will carry out a variety of neighborhood improvement efforts to revitalize the Arvin community and promote fair housing and access to resources and opportunities in all parts of Arvin.

The City will improve neighborhoods and places that are most in need of place-based planning and improvement strategies, as well as places with the greatest capacity for accommodating housing for lower income households. Efforts will include, but are not limited to, the following:

Planning 1. The City will identify local streets in need of improvement using the City of Arvin 2017 Pavement Management Plan, and identity resources such as SB 1 funds and other additional resources to repair local streets, giving priority to targeted areas with higher levels of poverty.

Planning 2. Identify addresses and compile mailing list and email addresses to focus outreach to neighborhoods with higher concentrations of low-income and minority residents to prioritize services in these areas by 2027.

Planning 3. Prepare a study on transit needs for Arvin residents and identify actions to address those needs, focusing on the commuting needs of low-income residents. Work with Arvin Transit to expand transit services that connect Arvin to other nearby cities or newly developing areas such as the Tejon Ranch shopping business center near Grapevine by 2027.

Implementation. The City will continue to prioritize the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), annually, and seek additional funding and other resources toward community revitalization in targeted areas. Additionally, the City will continue to pursue concurrent efforts to improve infrastructure capacity in opportunity areas and in areas in need of capital improvements.

D. Summary of Quantified Objectives
According to Government Code Section 65583 (b), local governments housing elements are required to establish quantified objectives for the maximum number of housing units that can be constructed, rehabilitated, and conserved over a five-year time frame. The objective for units to be conserved should include a subtotal for the number of at-risk units developed pursuant to Government Code Section 65583 (a)(8)(A).

Conservation objectives are not limited to at-risk preservation and may include a variety of activities that promote stability in housing. Examples of programs that have been included addressing conservation objectives include Programs 2 (Home Maintenance Counselling Program), Program 3 (Neighborhood “Clean-Up/Fix-Up” Campaigns), Program 5 (Code Enforcement), Program 6 (Residential Rental Unit Inspection and Maintenance), Program 7 (Funding Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation of Single-Family and Multi- Family Housing), Program 9 (Preserving Mobile-home Parks), and Program 10 (Section 8 Rental Assistance).

The City has sufficient vacant land to accommodate the affordable and moderate and aboveincome housing allocated by the Kern COG RHNA for the city of Arvin.

Table 63 presents the Housing Element’s quantified housing objectives for the 2023-2031 planning period:

Notes:
• The “New Construction” objective (in the table above) refers to the number of new units that potentially could be constructed using public and/or private sources over the planning period, given the locality’s land resources, constraints, and proposed programs. RHNA Moderate & Above Moderate = (268 Moderate Units + 703 Above Moderate Units = 971). • The “Rehabilitation” objective refers to the number of existing units expected to be rehabilitated during the planning period. • The “Conservation/Preservation” objective refers to the preservation of the existing affordable housing stock throughout the planning period. To determine the number of units to be conserved, a locality could, for example, quantify the number of existing housing units that will be preserved through the provision of more stable zoning for mobile home parks or other affordable housing types.
• 50 percent of the regional housing need allocation (RHNA) for very low-income households (124 units) qualifies as 62 ELI units)
• Total Housing obligations include estimated number of units that could be facilitated above RHNA requirements.
