A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF CAMARILLO APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING A
LOAN FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 259 RIVERDALE COURT #240,
CAMARILLO, CA 93012, UNDER THE WORKFORCE
HOUSING DOWNPAYMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
The City Council of the City of Camarillo resolves as follows:
SECTION 1. General Findings. The City Council finds as follows:
A. The City of Camarillo conducted a public meeting on June 11, 2025, to review the relevant documents for the issuance of a Workforce Housing Downpayment Assistance Loan for the purchase of the property located at 259 Riverdale Court #240, Camarillo, CA 93012.
B. After reviewing the documents, the City Council determined that the documents complied with all relevant requirements.
C. In addition, the City reviewed the project’s environmental impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., “CEQA ”), the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regulations §§15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”), and the City’s Environmental Guidelines (“Camarillo Guidelines”; CEQA, CEQA Guidelines and Camarillo Guidelines collectively referred to as “CEQA Regulations”).
D. The Workforce Housing Downpayment Assistance Loan will further the implementation of Program 14 of the City’s adopted Housing Element, “First Time Homebuyer Down Payment Assistance Loans” through the issuance of a loan to a first- time homebuyer.
E. Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Grant funds are available for this loan approval.
SECTION 2: Environmental Review
A. This resolution was reviewed pursuant to CEQA and is exempt from further environmental review because City staff has determined, in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, that the Camarillo Workforce Housing Down Payment Assistance Program is not subject to CEQA review because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Camarillo Workforce Housing Down Payment Assistance Program may have a significant effect on the environment. In this case, a first-time homebuyer loan can be seen with certainty to have no possibility to have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, this item is exempt from CEQA.

SECTION 4: Office of Record. The record of proceedings upon which this decision is based is located in City Hall, which is the office of record for the same.
SECTION 5. Electronic Signatures. This Resolution may be executed with electronic signatures in accordance with Government Code §16.5. Such electronic signatures will be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original signature.
SECTION 6. Construction. This Resolution must be broadly construed in order to achieve the purposes stated in this Resolution. It is the City Council’s intent that the provisions of this Resolution be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a manner that facilitates the purposes set forth in this Resolution.
SECTION 7. Reliance On Record. Each and every one of the determinations in this Resolution are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the matter. The determinations constitute the independent findings and determinations of the City Council in all respects and are fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole.
SECTION 8. Limitations. The City Council’s analysis and evaluation of this matter is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating the matter that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the matter will not exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the matter is the City Council’s lack of knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts have been made to form accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the City’s ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and national problems and issues.
The City must work within the political framework within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework.
SECTION 9. Preservation. This Resolution does not affect any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before, or preclude prosecution and imposition of penalties for any violation occurring before this Resolution’s effective date. Any such amended part will remain in full force and effect for sustaining action or prosecuting violations occurring before the effective date of this Resolution.

SECTION 11. The Mayor, or presiding officer, is hereby authorized to affix their signature to this Resolution signifying its adoption by the City Council of the City of Camarillo, and the City Clerk is directed to attest thereto.
