PUBLIC COMMENT

City Clerk Van read the following written comments submitted by Cynthia Fagan, “Thank you to Tiffany Campbell of Animal Services for reaching out to work towards a solution regarding dumping of pets in parks. I have volunteered the past 9 years at 2 local shelters and for a rescue group. Pet abandonment is intertwined with many social issues but that does not make it acceptable. Animal Control Officers have told me they've gone to homes to collect pets, only to see CPS or APS along with Code Enforcement Officers at the same home. Civic agencies and leaders of Citrus Heights should inform citizens of all ages through social media and outreach that abuse, neglect, and dumping of pets is not only illegal but simply wrong. Further actions might include building a Citrus Heights Animal Shelter that can be small in space and staff but big on volunteers, rescue, fostering, and adopting. Collaborating with a non-profit like Red Rover is one of many options. They offer a humane education program for youth and another program to keep domestic violence survivors together with their pets in transitional housing. For catching and rehoming the park rabbits, Only Sunshine Sanctuary has been most active recently, but Friends of Unwanted Rabbits, All Ears, as well as Leaps and Bounds, are local rescues that have rescued park rabbits in the past.”

City Clerk Van read the following written comments submitted by Peter Ho, “I am Peter Ho. I addressed the council on Jan 26 regarding my home. On Mar 1, the Receiver Mr. Eric Beatty, motioned for the sale of my home and the Court granted. I responded Feb 17, 2023 emphasizing the perjury of the Improper Service, that was true and wrong. The Court / Judge did not want to acknowledge, recognize, and correct this judicial error.

Perjury is a serious felony crime, submitted by the City Lw firm Jones Mayer, and it as key in settng Receivership into motion. I also emphasized how the Receivership was allowed without meeting code Item 4

requirement of reasonable time to abate and repair. I was only giving 3 days for a vague and long list created by Code Enforcement. Again,, the Court / Judge did not want to recognize this major error and unjust unlawful violation against me, and correct this error. I am being charged around $325,000, the full value of my home, due to runup of charges, and will lose both my retirement savings and the only modest home I have. I have been mistreated and severely wronged. I am struggling to deal with the internal pain from this injustice. I ask to City council and leaders to compensate me for this excessive and unreasonable action, loss of my home, and retirement savings, in some way and extent. Or, maybe you can ask to court or Receiver to stop, and not sale my home.”

SU
BJECT: Neighborhood Improvement Partnership Grant Program – Guidelines modification
Summary and Recommendation
In November 2001, City Council approved the Neighborhood Improvement Partnership funding program. The program provides funding for neighborhood associations for neighborhood improvement projects in their neighborhoods. Modifications have been made to the guidelines over the life of the program, most recently in Fiscal Year 2017/2018.

As
part of the creation of the Economic Development & Community Engagement Department (EDCE), staff have visited Resident Empowerment Association of Citrus Heights (REACH) and all active Neighborhood Associations (NAs) to learn about needs, engage in dialogue and receive feedback. A consistent point of feedback heard is that the current Neighborhood Improvement Project grant program guidelines make it difficult to utilize the program due to application deadline and project timeline restrictions. Program utilization rates have waned over time, confirming this feedback.

St
aff have modified the program guidelines to make them more nimble, responsive and usable with a goal to increase program subscription. Staff recommends City Council approve Resolution No. 2023-___ a resolution approving the proposed Neighborhood Improvement Partnership Grant Program Guidelines.

City Council Strategic Goal/Objective
Th
is staff report aligns with the following Citrus Heights City Council Strategic Plan Goal:

Enhance community vibrancy and engagement

Fiscal Impact

This recommendation has no fiscal impact. However, it is staff’s goal that by loosening restrictions, REACH and NAs will be able to more fully utilize the existing grant funding opportunity. A breakdown of Resident Empowerment Association (REACH) and Neighborhood Improvement Project funding for Fiscal Year 22/23 is provided below:

REACH/Neighborhood Area
Community Support FY 22/23
Budgeted Allocated Remaining
REACH Admin Fees $11,000 $9,000 $2,000
Neighborhood Improvement Projects $15,000 - $15,000

Background and Analysis

In December 2001, the City Council approved a pilot program for funding neighborhood improvement projects. By Resolution No. 2017-047, City Council established a funding process where the Finance Committee would make an annual recommendation for funding levels for operational expenses and neighborhood improvement projects for REACH and the neighborhood associations.

Following is a synopsis of changes and enhancements made in the proposed guidelines:

o “The program will be managed as a zero-based budget. Any funds not used during the fiscal year will be returned to the General Fund and a new allocation with be made. Unused funds will not roll over from year-to-year. • A modified approvals process to ensure the program is nimble and responsive and consistent with a first come, first serve application process:
o “Each application will be reviewed and evaluated per the funding criteria by Community Engagement staff. If an application requests a micro grant of $500 or less the application may be approved or denied at the City Manager’s discretion.

Neighborhood Improvement Partnership
Grant Guidelines

The City provides funding annually for neighborhood projects to be completed by Neighborhood Associations.

Below is a description of the partnership between the City of Citrus Heights, REACH and the individual Neighborhood Associations and the types of projects that can be funded.

The proposed project must meet at least one of the following criteria:
• Reduce potential property damage or heighten security of a neighborhood; • Promote safety or improve safety in a neighborhood;
• Enhance the neighborhood aesthetic or quality of life; or • Create community connection and build neighborhood association awareness and engagement.

The proposed project must be structured so the majority of benefit is to the public – not an individual. The project must also have the support of the residents that are directly impacted by the proposal. Depending on the project, the area of “direct impact” will be different. Applicants are encouraged to work with REACH and staff to make the determination before gathering support for their proposal. If necessary, support or nonsupport may be shown by testimonials, a written survey, or something similar. In addition, the project must have a project coordinator who is responsible to ensure project is completed per approved application, including a final report to REACH and/or the City Council.

There are two types of projects within the Neighborhood Improvement Partnership (“NIP”) – “Capital Projects” and “Programs”.

• Capital Projects

o Eligibility -- Capital projects are eligible if they are primarily infrastructure related (as opposed to a program or maintenance and operations). Examples of eligible projects include play equipment or a public art project at a park, school or other public entity, street light, sidewalk or path installation, frontage improvements, landscape improvements, tree plantings, community garden start up, etc. An important requirement for use of these funds is that the project must primarily occur on public property for the benefit of the public. Therefore, a capital project to improve a residential property would not be eligible.

o Partnering with Another Public Agency -- If the project involves improvements to property owned by another public agency, the following criteria must be met:
 Project must contribute to the neighborhood’s quality of life; The development of and/or impact of the project promotes community involvement; and NIP funds may not be used to replace the public agency’s funds that should already be designated for Citrus Heights.

o Application -- Complete “NIP - Capital Projects Application Form”. Applications will be accepted and reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis, and at any time. The program will be managed Item 5
Agenda Packet Page 15

2 as a zero-based budget. Any funds not used during the fiscal year will be returned to the General Fund and a new allocation with be made. Unused funds will not roll over from year-to-year.

o Review & Approval –
 The first step is to discuss and review the capital project idea with City staff and receive advisement on agency approvals and other permissions that may be needed.  After reviewing the project path for completion with the City, the Neighborhood Association then submits the application.
 Each application will be reviewed and evaluated per the funding criteria by Community Engagement staff. If an application requests a micro grant of $500 or less the application may be approved or denied at the City Manager’s discretion. City Council will be notified of any award. If an application requests $501 or more the application will be reviewed by the City Council Quality of Life Committee. The Quality of Life Committee will make recommendations to the City Council for funding approval which will be considered at a public meeting.
• Program

o Eligibility -- A service or project designed to meet a community need or enhance a neighborhood that is programmatic in nature. A program would entail a non-capital effort that may range such as a community clean up event or other community-building or improvement activity. Refer to the Neighborhood Tool Kit for program ideas.

o Application -- Complete “NIP -- Program Application Form”. Applications will be accepted and reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis, and at any time. The program will be managed as a zero-based budget. Any funds not used during the fiscal year will be returned to the General Fund and a new allocation with be made. Unused funds will not roll over from year-to-year.

Funds will then be disbursed to the neighborhood association on a reimbursement basis.

o Review & Approval -- Each application will be reviewed and evaluated per the funding criteria by Community Engagement staff. If an application requests a micro grant of $500 or less the application may be approved or denied at the City Manager’s discretion. City Council will be notified of any award. If an application requests $501 or more the application will be reviewed by the Finance Committee. The Quality of Life Committee will make recommendations to the City Council for funding approval which will be considered at a public meeting.

o Non-affiliation – Although the City is partnering with REACH and Neighborhood Associations on potential projects, the City is a separate entity and not affiliated with these organizations.

Fiscal Impact

There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Background and Analysis

During the 2022 program year, the City received a total of $624,851 in entitlement CDBG grant funds from HUD. The grant allows the City to carry out a number of housing and community development programs that are targeted primarily to low income households. Funded activities included youth services, meals for seniors, emergency food bank, homeless prevention services, landlord/tenant and fair housing counseling, case management, and public infrastructure projects.

CDBG regulations require the City to place a public notice in The Citrus Heights Messenger 14- days in advance of a 15-day period to review and provide comments on the draft CAPER prior to approval by the City Council. A public notice announcing the availability of the CAPER was published in The Citrus Heights Messenger February 21, 2023. The public comment period began on March 7, 2023, and will conclude on March 23, 2023. Copies of the CAPER were made available for public review at designated locations and on the City’s website. Staff has not received any public comment since the notice has been published in The Citrus Heights Messenger. Any written comments or questions are responded to during the public hearing or in writing by staff and are included in the CAPER when it is submitted to HUD.

The City worked collectively with a variety of nonprofit agencies to fulfill unmet needs within the community. The highlights of the report include:

• Sacramento Self-Help Housing provided housing counseling and navigation services with additional counseling, dispute resolution and fair housing services to residents via calls and internet based Renters Helpline.
• Campus Life Connection provided an after-school youth program at the Sayonara Center. • Sunrise Christian Food Ministry distributed a variety of fresh and canned food including household items.
• Meals on Wheels by ACC provided meals to seniors who are homebound as well as an All Seasons Café where meals are made available for seniors to pick-up curbside. • Home Repair Loan Program supported four low income homeowners with health and safety improvements to their home using the City’s Revolving Loan Fund (RLF). • Residential Street Resurfacing Project and the Greenback Complete Streets Project, which added sidewalks and curb ramps primarily in low income neighborhoods and other high traffic intersection to increase pedestrian safety, walkability, and meet Americans with Disability Acts requirement.

With the availability of CDBG Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) funds to be used to prevent, prepare for, and respond to COVID-19, staff was also able to work with nonprofits in providing essential services to vulnerable populations impacted by the COVID-19 public health emergency. Funded CDBG-CV projects included:

The City continues to use CDBG funding primarily to assist low income households, especially seniors, youth, people experiencing homelessness, and with disabilities. Overall, the City used its CDBG funds to make substantial investments in the community and maintained commitment to the City’s unhoused community and low income population.

Assess how the jurisdiction’s use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and specific objectives identified in the plan, giving special attention to the highest priority activities identified.

As part of the Consolidated Plan effort, the City selected two key priorities:
• Build healthy communities; and
• Expand economic opportunities.

The goals align closely with three of the City Council three-year goals, which include maintain fiscal stability, diversify for a changing economy, and improve streets and infrastructure.
• Foster affordable housing;
• Services for people experiencing homelessness;
• Services for seniors and youth;
• Provide public services responsive to current need;
• Construct/upgrade public facilities;
• Improve accessibility;
• Affirmatively further fair housing;
• Effectively administer CDBG program.

The 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan identifies the following housing goals:
• Enhance the quality of safety of the existing housing stock, and • Provide programs that assist first-time homebuyers in order to stabilize homeownership rates and to increase the level of resident investment in neighborhoods.

All projects funded during 2022 addressed one or more of the priorities included in the Consolidated Plan. The City has made progress towards addressing homelessness prevention, supported nonprofits while offering a wide range of social services, and assisted with an accessibility and drainage improvement project within the City’s primarily low- and moderate income neighborhoods.

Table Note: This table includes CDBG funds drawn during PY 22. It does not include CDBG-CV funds expended.

Table Note: The City received a total of $117,572.50 in program income for PY 2022. The amount of program income expended is higher than received because prior year program income was used to fund the City’s Housing Repair Loan Program.

Narrative
In PY 22, the City expended a total of $1,119,510.59 CDBG funds and $789,587.95 in CDBG-CV funds. In addition, in FY 22/23 the City invested $111,950 in General Fund monies in support of community activities, including many offered by CDBG-eligible nonprofits. Sunrise Christian Food Ministry, Campus Life Connection, and Meals on Wheels by ACC were all beneficiaries of these local funds.

The City continues to support low income homeowners make health and safety improvements to their home through the City’s Revolving Loan Fund (RLF). Four homeowners received assistance in PY 2022.

These funds are received through loan repayments which are funneled back into the CDBG program to issue new loans for housing repair.

The Sacramento Housing Redevelopment Agency is the lead agency in the Sacramento HOME Consortium. The City of Citrus Heights, City of Rancho Cordova, and Sacramento Housing Redevelopment Agency receive HOME funds, SHRA is the lead agency in the HOME Consortium and is responsible for managing the City’s annual HOME allocation and related program income.

In January 2020, the City Council approved a 47-unit multi-family affordable housing development, Sunrise Pointe Apartments, this project will provide affordable permanent supportive housing for persons and families. The City Council allocated $3.58 million from the Citrus Heights HOME Investment Partnership fund to the Sunrise Pointe Apartment project, in coordination with the developer Jamboree and service provider Hope Cooperative. The project is a qualified "affordable" project under the State Government Code. To qualify as an affordable housing development, the project must set aside a certain number of units to households whose income is considered low to very low.

Item 6
Agenda Packet Page 28

Sunrise Pointe is a 100 percent affordable development, meaning all 46 units will be for residents whose income ranges all within or below the income limits and one unit will be used for an on-site property manager.

The developer has agreed to execute 55-year affordability covenants on the property in exchange for the HOME funds. The Sunrise Pointe development is made up of two residential buildings totaling 46 rental units and one manager apartment. This project was awarded federal tax credits and is in the process of obtaining building permits. This project is under construction and expected to be open for occupancy April 2023.

Table Note: Not applicable. The City did not designate any target areas, choosing to make funds available to qualifying projects citywide.

Narrative
The City’s CDBG-funded projects took place at various locations throughout Citrus Heights – primarily in low- and moderate-income US Census block group areas, including the 2022 Residential Street Resurfacing Project and the Greenback Complete Street Project. Most programs the City offered, including the Critical Home Repair Grant Program and the Housing Repair Loan Program, and public services were available to eligible low-income individuals and households citywide.

Leveraging
Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the needs identified in the plan.

There is no federal requirement for the City to match CDBG funds with other non-federal program resources. In FY 22/23 the City allocated $111,950 in General Fund monies to nonprofits providing a community service in Citrus Heights. With respect to public services, the City requires all Subrecipients to identify other resources that will be leveraged during the program year to operate and implement CDBG supportive activities. It is the city’s intent to ensure adequate non-federal and private funds are available, thus minimizing the dependence on federal funds.

The City did not use any publicly-owned property in PY 22 to address the needs identified in the Consolidated Plan, although the City is expecting the approved 47-unit multi-family affordable housing development, Sunrise Pointe to meet the housing needs of lower-income households.

This project is currently under construction and expected to open for occupancy April 2023.

Discuss the difference between goals and outcomes and problems encountered in meeting these goals.

The City of Citrus Heights is 98% built out so there is little land available for new housing developments.

Additionally, this means the City does not have substantial development fees with which to fund these efforts. Furthermore, due to the City’s revenue neutrality agreement with the county, Citrus Heights did not receive property tax revenue for twenty-five years, since the city incorporated in 1997. January 2023 is the first year Citrus Heights received property tax revenue. Also, the elimination of Redevelopment funding at the state level makes the development of affordable housing increasingly challenging.

Despite these challenges, the City has taken steps towards meeting its affordable housing goals. In January 2020, the City Council approved a 47 unit multi-family affordable housing development, named Sunrise Pointe. In addition, the City Council approved the allocation of $3.58 million from the Citrus Heights HOME Investment Partnerships Fund. The Sunrise Pointe developer is Jamboree Housing Corporation and the service provider is TLCS, Incorporated. Sunrise Pointe will provide permanent affordable housing for persons and families identified through the coordinated access entry system. The Sunrise Pointe development is made up of two residential buildings totaling 46 rental units and one manager apartment. This project was awarded federal tax credits and is in the process of obtaining building permits. This project is under construction and expected to be open for occupancy April 2023.

Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.

Additionally, the City continued partnership with Rebuilding Together Sacramento and Michael Baker International, Inc. made it possible for income-qualified residents to receive health and safety repairs to the their homes. This housing repair program contributes toward continued preservation of the existing housing stock and priorities identified in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. The two programs combined, successfully repaired 10 homes citywide.

In future years, the City anticipates continuing to allocate resources to creating new housing opportunities for lower-income households, including people experiencing homelessness, and helping low-income household maintain their housing.

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c) Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending homelessness through:

Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
In PY 22, the City continued to fund a full-time and part-time homeless navigator through Sacramento Self-Help Housing (SSHH). The Navigators are employees of SSHH who collaborate and work directly under the Citrus Heights Police Department to locate and assist people experiencing homelessness. The Navigator’s goal is to remove the barriers to accessing housing including connecting individuals to available services and transporting clients to appointments. The Navigators interacts with unhoused people in a positive way by building relationships and assisting clients with overcoming barriers that keep them from obtaining and maintaining permanent and stable housing.

For many years the City has provided CDBG funding to SSHH, which delivers an ongoing service to an increasing number of households each year. SSHH continues to provide housing counseling services to homeless persons as well as those at-risk of becoming homeless. The SSHH housing counselor meets with the clients to help connect them to low-cost housing options, when available. The housing counselor provides housing information and other referrals based on the household’s intake assessment. Each household is provided with information regarding housing availability and rental criteria. In addition, clients may receive assistance in completing housing-related paperwork such as rental applications, and receive housing interview tips. The housing counselor serves as the household’s advocate and maintains regular contact through routine follow-up.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons City staff participates in the Homeless Assistance Resource Team (HART), a group of agencies, nonprofits, faith based organizations, members of the business community and interested individuals dedicated to addressing Citrus Heights homeless issue. The goal of HART is to provide homeless individuals with resources so they may better access housing options. The Navigators also provide referrals and resources. The Citrus Heights HART operates an annual Winter Sanctuary Program that provides overnight shelter and services from December to February for up to 25 individuals per night.

City staff also participates in outreach efforts to the unsheltered homeless. Police officers who are in contact with people experiencing homelessness in Citrus Heights connect with the Navigator to conduct outreach along the trails, creeks and other known encampments. The Navigators also connect clients to Sacramento Steps Forward, the HUD-designated Continuum of Care (CoC) for the Sacramento Region.

Item 6
Agenda Packet Page 34

15 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The City maintains strong involvement with Sacramento Steps Forward as it coordinates the regional homeless response system. The City’s Housing and Human Services Program Coordinator, Nicole Piva currently serves on the Continuum of Care Advisory Board. The Continuum of Care Board is responsible for advising the Sacramento Steps Forward Board of Directors on policy around the issue of homelessness. The goal of the Advisory Board is to ensure Sacramento Steps Forward retains a broad representation of the constituents in the community, allowing the organization to establish a more efficient method of community planning and evaluation.

As mentioned, the City contracts with SSHH who offers housing counseling to those who are at-risk of homelessness or who are currently experiencing homelessness along with the Navigator who reaches out to unhoused people in partnership with the Citrus Heights Police Department. Additionally, the City of Citrus Heights is an active participant in regional efforts to address the needs of people experiencing homelessness. The City continues to work with the CoC to implement and monitor the regionally-funded programs within Sacramento County and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the countywide homeless response system through a Coordinated Access System pilot project.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs The City provides funding to SSHH, which offers housing counseling to households who are at-risk of becoming homeless. SSHH collaborates with a variety of nonprofits to reach a greater number of clients who many need assistance locating stable housing options and accepts referrals from agency who work with at-risk clients. In addition, a viable tool SSHH provides to at-risk is a searchable database of low- income housing options on their website.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The City coordinates and participates in the Homeless Assistance Resource Team (HART), a group of agencies, nonprofits, faith-based organizations, and interested individuals dedicated to addressing Citrus Heights homeless issues. The goal of HART members is to provide homeless individuals with resources in order to access housing.

The City also participates in outreach efforts to unsheltered homeless with the Citrus Heights Navigator and the Citrus Heights Police Department, resources provided upon contact of someone experiencing homelessness or at-risk of homelessness.

The City is one of the funders of the regional Renter's Helpline Program, which provides resources and housing counseling services to low-income renters who are in danger of becoming homeless. The Renter's Helpline provides assistance filling out notices and mediating between the tenant and landlord to maintain the tenant's current housing.

The City also collaborates with the Sacramento Continuum of Care and Sacramento County to develop additional connections between regional agencies in order to prevent homelessness among low-income individuals being discharged from local institutions and those receiving other public assistance.

CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j)
Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
The Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA) is the public housing agency serving the City of Citrus Heights. SHRA is independent of Citrus Heights, and the City retains no control over their funding or implementation of programs. However, we coordinate with SHRA when possible. Refer to the SHRA Public Housing Authority Annual Action Plan for information on the ways that SHRA addresses public housing needs.

Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
SHRA encourages public housing residents to participate in policy, procedure, and program implementation of development through its Resident Advisory Board. In addition, the Housing Authority recognizes Resident Committees throughout the Sacramento Region; the residents are elected bodies representing residents in their respective complexes. SHRA also distributes a quarterly newsletter to all residents, contains relevant news, information on training and employment opportunities, and other community resources available to public housing residents. Public housing residents also participate in the development of SHRA’ s five-year annual plan. The Resident Services Division distributes a survey to prioritize resident needs, and short- and long- term improvements.

Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs
SHRA is not designated as "troubled”.

CR-35 - Other Actions 91.220(j)-(k); 91.320(i)-(j)
Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i) A continued supply of housing to all household’s income levels is essential to meet the needs of the residents of the City. Citrus Heights is largely "built-out" and the supply is dependent not only on production, but on the preservation of existing affordable housing. To assure the continuing production of affordable housing, the city has examined possible constraints and barriers. Constraints to affordable housing are both governmental and non-governmental. Governmental constraints include land use controls, entitlement processing, fees, and building codes.

Land uses controls are necessary to ensure orderly and appropriate development and growth in the City.

Fees, land dedication and public improvements are usually required as part of land development and entitlement processing to ensure an adequate supply of infrastructure, parks, and schools to serve the development. The City may consider waiving appropriate development fees to facilitate development of affordable housing. Building and housing codes are implemented to ensure the safety of the community (housing residents, specifically).

Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) Some obstacles to meeting underserved needs are:
• Available funding is not sufficient to address the community's needs. CDBG funding was available to public service agencies and the City provided $111,950 in local funding for Fiscal Year (FY) 22/23.

The City continues to encourage nonprofits to identify other public or private funding sources. • Although most the region's service providers are in Sacramento, Citrus Heights is home to services such as food banks, youth programs, and domestic violence service providers. Citrus Heights offers public transportation to the Sacramento area, but residents are sometimes reluctant or unable to travel outside of their community to receive services.

Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City will provide lead-abatement assistance for residential units through the Housing Rehabilitation Program. The City contracts with a third-party firm to administer its housing repair program. This firm contracts with qualified lead abatement contractors to conduct lead-based paint identification, assessment, and clearance services to reduce lead hazard. The program will comply with the Residential Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X) and subsequent changes in September 1999.

The procedure regarding lead-based paint in all repair’s programs will include notification and identification.

Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City’s anti-poverty strategy focuses on providing a range of employment opportunities and supportive services aimed at enabling those in poverty to move into the workforce, as well as supporting activities that preserve and expand the supply of housing affordable to target-income households. • Meals on Wheels by ACC offered homebound seniors who meet eligibility requirements were provided home delivered meals, either in a box of five frozen meals once per week, or a hot meal delivered five times per week, Monday-Friday.
• Meals on Wheels by ACC offered mobile senior’s nutritious meals and social interactions for those who could participate in a drive-thru meal pickup Monday-Friday at Rusch Park café site. Although the café site was closed in 2022 due to COVID-19, café participants had the option to receive meal deliveries or drive-thru pickup at Rusch Park.
• Sacramento Self-Help Housing provided counseling and social services to homeless individuals or those at risk of becoming homeless, including drop-in counseling/office hours and case management services.
• As a result of CDBG-CV funding, the city created a Supplemental Navigator Fund to provide emergency housing assistance; including temporary housing, security deposits, food, essential supplies, and necessary support for people experiencing homelessness while they receive outreach services from the city's Homeless Navigator.
• Sunrise Christian Food Ministry operates an emergency food closet available to low-income persons. • The City also provides code enforcement services and a rental housing inspection program to ensure lower-income households have a safe and decent place to live. This is not a CDBG funded activity.

Citrus Heights residents also have access to anti-poverty services provided by the County Department of Human Assistance. The County provides many programs designed to provide temporary assistance to families in need, and coordinates the County's welfare-to-work programs, with an emphasis on creating employment connections and increasing the income of the program's participants. Overall, the goal of all agencies' programs is economic self-sufficiency.

Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) To eliminate gaps in institutional structures, the City remains actively involved with neighboring jurisdictions and regional governmental entities. The City coordinates with Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA) to address affordable housing needs related to public housing activities.

In addition, the City collaborated with SHRA to allocate the city’s HOME funds to the Sunrise Pointe Affordable Apartment Project.

In addition, the City continues to collaborate with the City of Sacramento, Elk Grove and Rancho Cordova, the two other small entitlement jurisdictions in Sacramento County, and continues to look for opportunities to increase and enhance services citywide to residents.

Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The City continues to work with neighboring jurisdictions, including the City of Rancho Cordova, City of Elk Grove, City of Folsom, County and City of Sacramento and the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency, to address the regional issues that affect the needs of low-income persons as well as special need programs, shared Subrecipient monitoring and research into issues of interest such as the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing final rule. The City also continues to work with many of the local nonprofits that provide a range of services to low-income residents.

Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a) HUD provides specific requirements that entitlement grantees certify that they will affirmatively further fair housing in their jurisdiction. Fair Housing objectives are broad, and include requirements to promote fair housing choice for all persons and to foster compliance with nondiscrimination provisions of the Fair Housing Act. These requirements are satisfied, in part, by analyzing impediments to fair housing choice within the jurisdiction and taking appropriate action to overcome the effects of identified impediments.

Item 6

21 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
In 2020 the City completed an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) and was adopted by the City Council. In recognition that fair housing issues are not confined by jurisdictional boundaries, the city partnered to work with Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA), Rancho Cordova, Elk Grove, and other jurisdictions in the region to create a comprehensive AI that covers the issues facing the region.

The AI evaluated the needs and goals around housing and provided residents with perspectives through community engagement. A copy of the AI can be found on the city's website at http://ca- citrusheights.civicplus.com/380/Community-Development-Block-Grant.

The AI identified the following barriers to affordable housing:
• Segregation, disproportionate housing needs and difference in economic opportunity; • Affordable rental options in the region are limited due to the growth in the region; • Constraints on affordable housing development and preservation, ranging from lack of funding, cost of development or preservation, public policies and processes, and lack of adequate infrastructure for infill redevelopment, all constrain the affordable rental market; • Suburban areas in the Sacramento Valley are rarely competitive for state or federal affordable housing development;
• Residents participating in the Housing Choice or other housing voucher programs, there are too few private landlords who accept vouchers; and an increase in strict rental polices; • Residents with disabilities lack access to affordable, accessible housing; as public transportation has not kept up with growth.

Outside the completion of the AI, the City’s approach to fair housing was focused on education. • Housing Sacramento Self-Help Housing provided the Renter's Helpline to offer information on landlord/tenant law and fair housing matters. They also provided landlord/tenant mediation. SSHH also works with Legal Services of Northern California, and Project Sentinel to provide education and investigate complaints.
• City staff participates in a series of meetings with other regional jurisdictions, including the County of Sacramento, SHRA, Rancho Cordova, Folsom, and Elk Grove on strategies for better cooperating regionally to address fair housing issues. Since 2016, the local jurisdictions have been partnering to allocate funding for the Renters Helpline. In 2022, Citrus Heights continues to partner with the local jurisdictions in a cost sharing agreement by contributing its share based on its percentage of the County's rental units.

In addition, on August 18, 2021, Citrus Heights adopted the 2021-2029 Housing Element. The Housing Element includes an analysis of vacant and underused land in the City that can be developed into housing for low-, moderate-, and above moderate-income housing. It also outlines an analysis of potential government and nongovernmental constraints to housing development in the City.

CR-40 - Monitoring 91.220 and 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements
The City uses a monitoring system to ensure that CDBG-funded activities are in compliance of applicable laws, regulations, policies, sound management, and account practices. The primary objective of the City’s monitoring efforts include:
• To ensure the Subrecipient has the capacity to carry out their responsibility and to do so in a timely manner.
• To ensure the Subrecipient is carrying out the project as described in their agreement, complying with applicable laws and regulations. To ensure the project is operating in a manner that minimizes the opportunity for fraud, waste, and mismanagement.

At the beginning of 2022, City staff provided a workshop for each CDBG Subrecipient, the workshops were provided via Zoom. The workshop was formatted to review federal requirements unique to CDBG, the subrecipient agreement, introduced CDBG reporting forms and answered questions. Therefore, all Subrecipients are informed of their obligations to collect the required information on income, household composition, race, and ethnicity. City staff also provides information to each Subrecipient that outlines the agreement terms and CDBG policies such as data collection and financial management.

In addition, staff recommends each Subrecipient read the "Playing by the Rules" guide produced by HUD.

Monthly, staff reviews the progress the Subrecipient has been making toward achieving performance goals. City staff places a strong emphasis on its Subrecipients to provide accurate information on the persons or households served, and regularly reporting of progress with each invoice.

Each Subrecipient agreement contains provisions for reduction or termination in the event goals are not accomplished or when past performance issues have not been resolved. Onsite monitoring of Subrecipients is conducted based on an annual desk assessment performed by City staff.

Effective on November 30, 2020, the new Section 3 final rule (24 CFR Part 75) was designed to improve a focus on economic opportunity outcomes while simultaneously reducing the regulatory burden on those entities that receive those funds. Key changes in the rule and in HUD’s implementation include:
• Focusing on key outcome metrics, such as the sustained employment of individuals in targeted populations.
• Crediting retention of low- and very low-income employees and successful sustained employment in the reporting metrics.
• Aligning Section 3 reporting with standards business practices and payroll tracking methods. • Allowing for tailored outcome benchmarks for different geographies and/or different projects. • Integrating Section 3 oversight into the work of the program offices who are in regular contact with the grantee.
• Promoting the newly created portal to connect low- and very low-income people, who need jobs most, with businesses who have Section 3 job opportunities in their area.

During program year 2022, the City completed the Greenback Complete Streets Project and the 2022 Residential Street Resurfacing Project. In addition, completed two housing rehabilitation programs including: the Home Repair Loan Program and the 2022 Critical Home Repair Grant Program.

ce incorporation, the City has utilized limited-term citizen advisory committees to help formulate policy recommendations to the City Council. Below is a summary of various types of advisory committees the City has formed.

Previous Advisory Committees
La
w Enforcement Citizens’ Advisory Committee
In 2004, the City Council established a Law Enforcement Citizens’ Advisory Committee to review long-term service delivery options for law enforcement. The City received applications from 57 community members that were forwarded to the City Council for review. The Committee was comprised of 21 Council-appointed individuals and met twice a month over a period of approximately five months (nine committee meetings and two public workshops). The Item 7

Subject: Consideration of a Citrus Heights Education Advisory Committee Date: March 23, 2023

Printed on Recycled Paper
City retained a facilitator to assist with preparation and facilitation of meetings, and developing the Committee’s report, which included the Committee’s policy recommendation. The meetings were noticed pursuant to the Brown Act.

Animal Care and Regulation Citizens’ Advisory Committee In 2010, the City Council established an Animal Care and Regulation Citizens’ Advisory Committee to formulate a recommendation concerning a long-term, cost-effective Animal Care and Regulation program for the City. The City received applications from 17 community members that were forwarded to the City Council for review. The Committee was comprised of 11 Council-appointed individuals and met once a month over a period of approximately 12 months. The meetings were facilitated by City staff and a consultant team. The meetings were noticed pursuant to the Brown Act.

Education Committee
In 2001, as an outcome to a Spotlight on Schools forum held in the City, an Education Committee was formed and led by former Council Member Bill Hughes and was comprised of approximately 15 members of the community that stepped forward to be involved in the process (parents, retired teachers, business persons, and staff from both the school district and City). The committee met on a monthly basis for one year to address four key areas: parent and community involvement, school and traffic safety, school facilities, and academics and curriculum. The findings of the committee were presented to Council at the July 24, 2002 City Council Meeting.

Brown Act

California Government Code § 54950, et seq., otherwise known as the “Ralph M. Brown Act” requires local government business to be conducted at open and public meetings, except in certain limited situations. The Brown Act applies to “legislative bodies” which are defined to include the City Council and any commission, committee, board or other body of the local agency, whether permanent or temporary, decision-making or advisory, that is created by formal action of the City Council. Therefore, if Council takes action to form an advisory committee the council-appointed committee would be subject to the Brown Act.

Determining the proposed Work Plan and Timeframe

The Law Enforcement Citizens’ Advisory Committee example discussed earlier in this report met twice a month over a period of approximately five months (nine committee meetings and two public workshops). The City retained a facilitator to assist with preparation and facilitation of meetings, and developing the Committee’s report, which included the Committee’s policy recommendation. That could serve as a good model in consideration of forming a Citrus Heights Education Committee if the Council desires to move forward with formation. This would allow for the committee to complete specific tasks desired by City Council in examining formation of a school district and then report back to City Council with their findings and any further recommended actions. At that time, City Council could consider the committee recommendations and/or provide additional direction to the committee if future tasks are desired.

Item 7
Agenda Packet Page 50
Subject: Consideration of a Citrus Heights Education Advisory Committee Date: March 23, 2023

Page 3 of 3 ends

Printed on Recycled Paper
The City Council could provide direction on the proposed work plan as part of the City Council meeting as an option. Alternatively, the City Council could assign development of a work plan to an existing committee such as the City Council Education & Community Programs 2x2 Committee, City Council Quality of Life 2x2 Committee, or appoint a 2x2 subcommittee for this specific assignment. Once the subcommittee develops the work plan for the Citrus Heights Education Committee, the work plan could then be brought back to City Council for discussion and consideration of adoption at a future City Council meeting.

Next Steps

Should the City Council move forward with forming an advisory committee, Council may consider implementing the following process:

DATE ACTION
June 1 Application released and posted on the City’s website; conduct community outreach
June 30 Applications due to the City
July 3 Applications would be sent to Council for review July 27 Council Mtg. Committee members appointed by City Council August – January 2024 Committee meetings to be held over a six-month period, or other schedule as determined by the City Council
February 2024 Committee policy recommendations presented to Council

Fiscal Impact

The fiscal impact of a committee would involve staff time assisting to coordinate scheduling for meetings and other administrative support. The City Manager’s office would seek to contract with a consultant to assist with the facilitation of the committee similar to what was done with the exploration of forming a city police department. Depending on the work plan that is ultimately adopted by City Council, there may be additional consultant and legal costs which could be considered as part of future actions associated with specific committee recommendations either at the conclusion of their examination process or considered during the course of the examination if necessary. The fiscal impacts associated with the examination task are unknown at this time and will depend on the work plan that is ultimately adopted. If there is a desire to move beyond the committee’s examination assignment, projected costs associated with any future recommended actions (such as moving ahead with formation actions) should be identified and estimated as part of the report prepared by the committee.

In addition to the alignment with the City Council’s strategic goals and objectives, the Sayonara Drive Replacement Housing Project is supported by a number of General Plan Goals related to housing and homeownership including Goal 27 listed below:

Goal 27: Conserve currently assisted units to ensure availability of housing for lower income households

Policy 27.1: Pursue all available strategies and procedures to preserve government - assisted units that are at risk of conversion to market rate.

Action F: Continue to implement strategies to redevelop Sayonara Avenue (Sunrise to Lialana).

Fiscal Impact

The City has an outstanding obligation to replace affordable housing units, demolished as part of the Sayonara Drive Improvement Strategy. The City has invested a significant amount of resources into the improvement of Sayonara Drive and has a longstanding commitment to satisfying its replacement obligation.

The City’s partnership with Habitat will fulfill the City’s replacement housing obligation by bringing 26 new single-family housing units
1 to Sayonara Drive. While the total anticipated
project is approximately $7.8 million, over 70% of the project costs will come from Habitat. The City’s primary role in the project is a financial contributor and Habitat will serve as the developer, contractor, and sales agent.

The MOU includes the City’s cash contribution to the project as $1,911,585 and fee waivers of approximately $370,000. There are no General Fund dollars allocated to the project as funding will be from a variety of housing related funding sources. The MOU also allows each vacant property to be transferred to Habitat for $1.00 each.

The funding plan can be complex as each funding source has its own set of restrictions, reporting requirements, and expenditure deadlines. At the same time, in order for Habitat to be competitive for necessary grant funds, a formal MOU and funding plan is required. Table 1 shows the City’s and Habitat’s financial contributions.

Table 1: Financial Contributions

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento $5,447,810.00 City of Citrus Heights $2,281,019.00*
Total Project Cost $7,728,829.00
* Includes approximately $370,000 fee waivers

1 The City’s initial replacement obligation was 35 units. The Sunrise Pointe project provided a credit of 23 units leaving a balance of 12 units to fulfill the replacement obligation.

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento Financial Contribution

Habitat will contribute approximately $5.5 million to the project. Habitat anticipates funding this project using a variety of funding sources, including: CalHome and sponsorships. A large portion of funding will come from a grant application Habitat recently submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) which will support homeownership aimed at lower and very low income households. If Habitat does not receive CalHome funding from HCD, the project may be delayed and the funding plan will need to be adjusted accordingly. The City’s contribution is capped at $1,911,585, regardless of outcome of Habitat’s CalHome funding.

City of Citrus Heights Financial Contribution

The City will contribute approximately $2.2 million to the project, which includes the waived permit fees, impact fees and financial contribution of $1,911,585. The City anticipates funding this project using a variety of non-general fund sources, including: Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA), Prohousing Incentive Program (PIP), and Affordable Housing Impact Fees (AHIF). These funding sources have expenditure deadlines as early as April 2024. As noted above, if Habitat does not receive CalHome funds the funding plan may need to be updated accordingly.

Background and Analysis

Soon after the City’s incorporation, improving the quality of life on Sayonara Drive became a priority for the City. Sayonara Drive was experiencing record number of calls for service, resident turnover was extremely high, the housing stock was in disrepair, and eventually causing a number of units to be boarded up and declared uninhabitable. In 2008, the City’s Redevelopment Agency began to purchase/demolish blighted properties on Sayonara Drive as part of a Five Year Implementation Plan to reduce blight. With the demolition of dilapidated units, capital investments such as street lighting, a community center, and a park the quality of life on Sayonara Drive drastically improved. Attachment 3 outlines the timeline of the City’s involvement in Sayonara Drive.

In 2010, the City adopted the Replacement Housing Plan for properties located on Sayonara Drive to comply with California Redevelopment Law, which required the demolished units be replaced (bedroom for bedroom replacement).

Since the adoption of the Replacement Housing Plan, finding a development partner has been challenging, in particular for ownership housing. Staff has met with a variety of housing developers (non-profit and for profit) and have had limited interest in the sites due to a variety of factors. These factors include:

- Small/odd shaped parcels
Item 8
Agenda Packet Page 59
Subject: Resolution to Approve a Memorandum of Understanding for Sayonara Drive Replacement Housing Project
Date: March 23, 2023

Page 4 of 6 ends

Printed on Recycled Paper
- Limited number of units (preference given to projects that result in larger number of units)
- Challenges with Surplus Land Act requirements
- Challenges with City’s preference for ownership housing

In 2021, staff began discussions with Habitat on a potential partnership. Habitat, a well-known non-profit housing builder, constructs and sells homes to persons/families with limited income who would typically not have a path to affordable homeownership. More information on Habitat’s mission can be found at www.habitatgreatersac.org .

City Council Study Session March 22, 2022

During the study session, staff introduced the Habitat partnership and a number of housing options of varying densities. Ultimately, City Council supported the concept consistent with the 2010 Replacement Housing Plan, which would develop each of the vacant lots with two single- family units, providing 26 affordable homeownership units when the project is completed.

While not a focus of the March 2022 workshop, staff identified varying sources of non-general fund monies that may be available for the project. The contribution necessary for the project was estimated to be $1.4 million, or $117,000 per unit at the lowest proposed density (12 units). As noted earlier, the council supported a concept of two single-family units per parcel, increasing the density to a total of 26 units.

Recognizing the City would be unable to maintain a financial contribution of $117,000 per unit with the increase to 26 units, staff began to assemble/confirm availability of a variety of funding sources to support the increased project cost. As discussed in the fiscal section of the report, staff has identified non-general fund monies that would contribute approximately $73,000 towards each unit for a total contribution of $1.9 million or $500,000 more than originally estimated.

Surplus Lands Act

In May 2022, the City Council declared the subject properties as “exempt surplus property” as required by the Surplus Land Act (Government Code §54220 et seq.). Under the Act, land must be declared "either 'surplus land' or 'exempt surplus land,' as supported by written findings, before a local agency may take any action to dispose of it consistent with an agency's policies or procedures." The findings listed in the resolution adopted by the City Council, declared the subject properties on Sayonara Drive as “exempt surplus land” under Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(A) related to affordable housing.

During this time frame, the City was approached by Citrus Heights Water District (District) who expressed interest in the construction of a future groundwater well utilizing three of the properties on Sayonara Drive. The City and the District entered into a purchase and sale agreement which would have sold the three properties to the District and reduced the number of lots available for the Item 8

Project. During the feasibility period, the District determined that the properties would not meet their needs therefore, escrow was canceled and the three properties remain as part of the Project.

Memorandum of Understanding for the Sayonara Drive Replacement Housing Project

Staff is recommending approval of a resolution and MOU to formalize the partnership between the City and Habitat. Exhibit A: Draft Memorandum of Understanding for the Sayonara Drive Replacement Housing Project describes the responsibilities between the City and Habitat. Below, are some key points.

City Responsibilities

• At the time of development, each of the 12 vacant parcels will be sold to Habitat for $1 each • The City will financially contribute $1.9 million in funding towards the $7.7 million dollar project as outlined in the MOU (non-General Fund Funding Sources) • At the time of development, associated fees under the control of the City will be waived (entitlement, building permit, impact)
• Partner in marketing efforts to attract current Citrus Heights as future residents

Habitat Responsibilities

• Contribute balance of funds necessary to complete the project (over $5.4 million) • Manage the construction of 26 new for-sale single-family units over a 3-year period • Sell all 26 units to qualified low -income persons/families. Refer to Attachment 4 for current income qualifications
• Provide long-term oversight to ensure compliance with affordable housing restrictions

Proposed Replacement Housing Design

The MOU does not “preapprove” any particular design. Habitat will be required to submit the necessary development applications for the project, including design review and CEQA compliance. The preparation of the architectural and site plans will be initiated once all funding sources have been secured. A preliminary design concept for the project is provided as Attachment 2.

Environmental Determination

The proposed MOU is exempt from CEQA Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), also known as the “general rule” exemption, CEQA exempts activities that can be seen with certainty to have no possibility for causing a significant effect on the environment. In addition a future development project on the site is anticipated to be consistent with Section 15332 related to infill development.

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento and the City of Citrus Heights Sayonara Drive Project Memorandum of Understanding

This is a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”), dated as of __________, 2023, between Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento (“Habitat”), a California nonprofit corporation, and the City of Citrus Heights (“Citrus Heights”), an incorporated city in the County of Sacramento.

Background
Habitat is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to build, rehabilitate, and repair homes to create and improve affordable homeownership opportunities in the greater Sacramento region.

BJECT: Citrus Heights Business Attraction Incentive Program approval Summary and Recommendation
Si
nce incorporation, Citrus Heights has practiced strategic planning to prioritize its policies, programs and services for the coming year. In the most recent two planning cycles (May 2022 and October 2022) this process has been enhanced by the addition of a Focus Area Work Plan (“Work Plan”). The Work Plan looks past the standard six-month strategic objective-setting increments to set direction for advancing key community priorities through March 2024. The Work Plan was adopted via resolution by City Council in May 2022 and its recommendations are informed by extensive community engagement, discussions, and data. This engagement that showed the Citrus Heights community has four key priority areas: Community Image, Economic Development, Community Connection and Infrastructure. The document details staff recommendations for policies, initiatives and projects that advance goals in these priority areas.

This process has allowed for clarity of mission and effective future planning as we have emerged from pandemic circumstances. Additionally, the guidance of the Work Plan guarantees effective stewardship of one-time American Rescue Plan Act dollars directly into the community and advancement of shared goals.

Ec
onomic Development has been represented in Citrus Heights’s strategic planning goals since incorporation. With the unique opportunity to utilize American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding as a resource, there is exciting potential to greatly advance the City’s Economic Development strategic goals. The Focus Area Work Plan laid out nine economic development strategic objective recommendations focusing on projects and programs that advance the strategic goal to diversify for a resilient economy. One of the Economic Development strategic objective recommendations was to “Present to City Council program guidelines and recommendations to develop a grant program utilizing ARPA funding that advances economic development goals of effectively attracting and retaining target businesses and industries.” This recommendation was selected and codified by City Council as a strategic objective for Item 9

Fiscal Impact

Staff recommends allocating $1,000,000 in American Rescue Plan Act funds to activate the program available through June 2024. If the program is adequately subscribed and/or oversubscribed, staff will bring back recommendations for additional funding and program term extension. Staff also recommends up to 3% of the allocation can be used for administration costs of the program including marketing and promotion.

The table below provides a history of ARPA allocations to date along with the remaining balance that is to be allocated by December 2024 with expenditures occurring by December 2026:

*dependent on successful award of grant
** dependent on program subscriptions

Staff recommends a program expiration date on June 30, 2024. If the program is oversubscribed within that time, staff will assess and potentially bring an additional funding allocation and/or extension to City Council for consideration. If the funding is undersubscribed, program termination at the end of June 2024 will allow for analysis and recommendation for reallocation of remaining funding before the ARPA requirement of final allocation by December 31, 2024.

Background and Analysis

Although the strategic objective language references “attraction and retention of target businesses”, the intention of the program as recommended in Focus Area Work Plan is attracting new businesses and the proposed guidelines were designed with that mission in mind. As noted in the body of the Focus Area Work Plan, an effective business attraction grant would be used to target and successfully recruit businesses within target industries of the city whose needs are conducive with the current available real estate. While companies largely decide to locate based on factors like available real estate, demographics, and available workforce, local jurisdictions are ensuring successful business attraction by offering incentives to potential locates.

Other tools currently exist for effective retention of Citrus Heights businesses, including:
• Economic Development Support Fund – Part 1: Provide sponsorships and grants up to $25,000 that promote the City of Citrus Heights’ commerce and increase business activity to help increase job and/or tax base, promote commercial areas, place making and more.
• Economic Development Support Fund – Part 2
o Design Assistance Program: complimentary assistance for business and property owners of existing commercial and office buildings in redeveloping property or enhancing concepts for buildings
o Sign Support Program; 50% match grant up to $5,000 ($10,000 total project) for signage improvements
• Activate Auburn Program: design assistance and 50% grant match up to $20,000 ($40,000 total project) for sign and façade improvements • History and Arts Grant: up to $10,000 available to residents and businesses to seed arts and culture initiatives. This program could potentially be leveraged by new and or/existing businesses in history and arts related spaces including art, live theater, music, etc.
• Established partnerships with Small Business Administration, Sacramento Valley Small Business Development Center and SCORE (Service Corps of Retired Executives): ready referrals to no-cost general business assistance and financial counseling

In addition to the above existing programs, City Council has also set a strategic objective to “Present to City Council program guidelines and recommendations to establish a fund that would be designated for low-interest loans for existing businesses.” This program will be the next step Item 9

as bandwidth allows and once the Business Attraction program has been created and achieved saturation in marketing and promotion.

Program Scope

The proposed Business Attraction Incentive Program (“Program”) goal is to enhance the City’s competitiveness in attracting target industry businesses that create community vibrancy. The proposed incentive program will help identify, attract and invest in new businesses in target industries that contribute to commercial area vitality, utilize existing vacant real estate, and increase quality of life for residents, workers and visitors.

Staff recommend the following target industry categories:
 Restaurants – restaurants, bars, coffee, and tea shops (national chains do not qualify)  Breweries and other craft beverage businesses – includes artisan manufacturing operations, tasting rooms and brewpubs
 Entertainment – includes bowling alleys, movie theaters, and entertainment venues  Businesses that serve to diversify the City’s economic base and/or enhance community quality of life by providing unique or underrepresented services/goods

These categories encompass the most frequent and passionate requests from our residents that they would like to see in Citrus Heights. Business attraction in these industry segments also offer key advantages to the Citrus Heights local economy, including:

1. Ability to utilize the types of vacant real estate currently available i.e. full service restaurants, large and small retail space, small office, etc.

2. Ability to increase foot traffic in existing commercial centers and capture regional commute traffic patterns

3. Ability to diversify Citrus Heights economy

Value of Incentives

Eligible businesses may receive a grant on terms to be negotiated to be used for some combination of relocation, operating, equipment, payment of fees and regulatory costs, or other legitimate and customary start up business costs. The value of incentives identified above will be within the discretion of the City and will depend upon the unique attributes of each project and the benefits that will accrue to the City and to the community.

Application and Review Process

To be considered for a Business Attraction Incentive, a business owner or representative submits a request including details on the proposed project and how it will benefit the community along with supporting documentation.

Upon receipt of the request, Economic Development & Community Engagement Department staff will review the application for completeness and complete a fiscal and community impact Item 9

analysis to determine incentive feasibility. Based on the analysis, EDCE staff will prepare a proposed incentive package and agreement for City Manager and City Attorney review.

Incentive packages valued at less than $5,000 may be reviewed by the City Manager. For any incentive package valued $5,000 or more over life of the agreement, staff will bring to City Council for review during a public meeting.

Program Promotion

Once approved, staff will create program promotion materials and a multi-channel communications and marketing plan for business recruitment and attraction, including:
• Direct outreach and prospecting to local targeted businesses • Outreach to property managers, brokers and owners to generate referrals • Project webpage
• Social media
• Local media
• Regional media
• Applicable trade shows
• Partnerships with Citrus Heights Chamber of Commerce and Sunrise MarketPlace

BJECT: Municipal Code Chapter 42 – FLOODS City Ordinance Update Summary and Recommendation
Recen
tly, code changes to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) were adopted. To maintain eligibility for inclusion in the NFIP, and to be consistent with the NFIP code, updates to Chapter 42 of the City’s Municipal Code is required.

St
aff recommends the City Council introduce for first reading, read by title only and waive the full reading of Ordinance No. 2023-_______, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights amending Chapter 42 “Floods” of the Citrus Heights Municipal Code.

Fiscal Impact
Th
ere is no direct fiscal impact resulting from revisions to the Ordinance. Revisions are consistent with City’s current approach to floodplain management and development within and near floodways.

Background and Analysis
On O
ctober 15, 1997 the City of Citrus Heights joined the NFIP, a program that makes federally- backed flood insurance available to residents if the City adopts and enforces floodplain management ordinances to reduce future flood damage. Currently, there are 225 active NFIP policies in Citrus Heights.

As
a part of the NFIP membership, on-going coordination with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and State Floodplain Managers (Department of Water Resources (DWR) in California) is required to discuss current policies, status of claims, and possible violations/non-compliance items on private flood insurance and claims within the City.

On December 8, 2022, a meeting was held between FEMA, DWR, and City Staff where the group reviewed recent code changes to the NFIP including additional definition of terms, updated references to recently revised FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps, and requirements for developments that occur within/near floodways consistent with the City’s current drainage and development policy and procedures.

In addition, the City is pursuing participation in FEMA’s Community Rating System (CRS); a voluntary incentive program that recognizes and encourages community floodplain management practices that exceed the minimum requirements of the NFIP. In CRS communities, property owners are able to obtain flood insurance premiums at a discounted rate to reflect the reduced flood risk. The proposed Ordinance updates are required as one part of the eligibility requirements to become a CRS community.

The attached Ordinance amends Chapter 42 of the Citrus Heights Municipal Code to be consistent with the recent code changes to the NFIP. Adoption of the amended Ordinance prior to August 31, 2023 is required for the City to continue its membership in the NFIP.

The provisions of Chapter 42 of the City of Citrus Heights Code are amended, as follows:

SECTION 1. Amendment. Section 42-4 of the Citrus Heights Code is hereby amended to read as set forth below:

Sec. 42-4. Definitions.

Unless specifically defined in this section, words or phrases used in this chapter shall be interpreted so as to give them the meaning they have in common usage and to give this chapter its most reasonable application. The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this chapter, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:

Accessory use means a use which is incidental and subordinate to the principal use of the parcel of land on which it is located.

Adversely affects means that the cumulative effect of the proposed development, when combined with all other existing and anticipated development, will increase the water surface elevation of the base flood more than one foot at any point.

Alluvial fan means a geomorphologic feature characterized by a cone- or fan-shaped deposit of boulders, gravel, and fine sediments that have been eroded from mountain slopes, transported by flood flows, and then deposited on the valley floors, and which is subject to flash flooding, high velocity flows, debris flows, erosion, sediment movement and deposition, and channel migration.

Apex means the point of highest elevation on an alluvial fan, which on undisturbed fans is generally the point where the major stream that formed the fan emerges from the mountain front.

Appeal means a request for a review of the floodplain administrator's interpretation of any section of this chapter or a request for a variance.

Area of shallow flooding means a designated AO or AH zone on the flood insurance rate map (FIRM). The base flood depths range from one to three feet, a clearly defined channel does not exist, the path of flooding is unpredictable and indeterminate, and velocity flow may be evident. Such flooding is characterized by ponding or sheet flow.

Area of special flood hazard. See Special flood hazard area.

Area of special flood-related erosion hazard means the land within a community that is not likely to be subject to severe flood-related erosion losses. The area may be designated as zone E on the flood insurance rate map (FIRM).

Item 10
Agenda Packet Page 91

Area of special mudslide (i.e., mudflows) hazard means the area subject to severe mudslides (i.e., mudflows). The area is designated as zone M on the flood insurance rate map (FIRM).

Backfill means the placement of fill material within a specified depression, hole or excavation pit below the surrounding adjacent ground level as a means of improving floodwater conveyance or to restore the land to the natural contours existing prior to excavation.

Base flood means the flood having a one-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year; also called the 100-year flood.

Basement means any area of the building having its floor subgrade (below ground level) on all sides.

Building. See Structure.

Building Code means California Code of Regulations Title 24, the California Building Standards Code, the family of building codes specifically adopted by the State of California and composed of: (1) Part 2, applicable to buildings and structures other than dwellings within the scope of this part; (2) Part 2.5, applicable to one and two family dwellings and townhouses not more than three stories, and accessory structures; (3) Part 10, applicable to existing buildings (as defined in that code); and (4) Other specified codes.

Critical feature means an integral and readily identifiable part of a flood protection system, without which the flood protection provided by the entire system would be compromised.

Curvilinear line means the border on either a flood hazard boundary map or flood insurance rate map that delineates the special flood, mudslide (i.e., mudflow) and/or flood- related erosion hazard areas and consists of a curved or contour line that follows the topography.

Development means any manmade change to improved or unimproved real estate, including but not limited to buildings or other structures, mining, dredging, filling, grading, paving, excavation or drilling operations or storage of equipment or materials.

Encroachment means the advance or infringement of uses, plant growth, fill, excavation, buildings, permanent structures or development into a floodplain that may impede or alter the flow capacity of a floodplain.

Erosion means the process of the gradual wearing away of land masses. This peril is not per se covered under the National Flood Insurance Program.

Existing manufactured home park or subdivision means a manufactured home park or subdivision for which the construction of facilities for servicing the lots on which the manufactured homes are to be affixed, including, at a minimum, the installation of utilities, the construction of streets, and either final site grading or the pouring of concrete pads, is completed before the effective date of the floodplain management regulations adopted by a community.

Expansion to an existing manufactured home park or subdivision means the preparation of additional sites by the construction of facilities for servicing the lots on Item 10
Agenda Packet Page 92
Printed on Recycled Paper
which the manufactured homes are to be affixed, including the installation of utilities, the construction of streets, and either final site grading or the pouring of concrete pads.

Fill means the placement of fill material at a specified location to bring the ground surface up to a desired elevation.

Fill material can be natural sand, dirt, soil or rock. For the purposes of floodplain management, fill material may include concrete, cement, soil cement, brick or similar material as approved on a case-by-case basis.

Flood, flooding and floodwater mean:
(1) A general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of normally dry land areas from:
a. The overflow of inland or tidal waters;
b. The unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of surface waters from any source; and/or
c. Mudslides (i.e., mudflows) which are proximately caused by flooding, a s defined in subsection (2) of this definition, and are akin to a river of liquid and flowing mud on the surfaces of normally dry land areas, as which earth is carried by a current of water and deposited along the path of the current; and (2) The collapse or subsidence of land along the shore of a lake or other body of water as a result of erosion or undermining caused by waves or currents of water exceeding anticipated cyclical levels or suddenly caused by an unusually high water level in a natural body of water, accompanied by a severe storm, or by an unanticipated force of nature, such as flash flood or an abnormal tidal surge, or by some similarly unusual and unforeseeable event which results in flooding as defined in subsection (1) of this definition.

Flood control project means a dam or barrier design and constructed to keep water away from or out of a specified area, including but not limited to levees, floodwalls, and channelization.

Flood elevation determination means a determination by the administrator of the water surface elevations of the base flood, that is, the flood level that has a one-percent or greater chance of occurrence in any given year.

Flood elevation study means an examination, evaluation and determination of flood hazards and, if appropriate, corresponding water surface elevations, or an examination, evaluation and determination of mudslide (i.e., mudflow) and/or flood-related erosion hazards.

Flood hazard boundary map (FHBM) means the official map on which the Federal Emergency Management Agency or Federal Insurance Administration has delineated the areas of flood hazards.

Flood insurance rate map (FIRM) means the official map on which the Federal Emergency Management Agency or Federal Insurance Administration has delineated both the areas of special flood hazards and the risk premium zones applicable to the community.

Item 10
Agenda Packet Page 93
Printed on Recycled Paper
Flood insurance study means the official report provided by the Federal Insurance Administration that includes flood profiles, the flood insurance rate map, the flood boundary and floodway map, and the water surface elevation of the base flood.

Floodplain and floodprone area mean any land area susceptible to being inundated by water from any source. See the definition of Flood.

Floodplain administrator means the individual appointed to administer and enforce the floodplain management regulations.

Floodplain management means the operation of an overall program of corrective and preventive measures for reducing flood damage, including but not limited to emergency preparedness plans, flood control works and floodplain management regulations.

Floodplain management regulations means zoning ordinances, subdivision regulations, building codes, health regulations and special purpose ordinances such as floodplain management regulations.

Floodproofing means any combination of structural and nonstructural additions, changes, or adjustments to structures that reduce or eliminate flood damage to real estate or improved real property, water and sanitary facilities, structures, and their contents.

Flood protection system means those physical structural works for which funds have been authorized, appropriated, and expended and which have been constructed specifically to modify flooding in order to reduce the extent of the area within a community subject to a special flood hazard and the extent of the depths of associated flooding. Such a system typically includes hurricane tidal barriers, dams, reservoirs, levees, or dikes. These specialized flood-modifying works are those constructed to conform to sound engineering standards.

Flood-related erosion means the collapse or subsidence of land along the shore of a lake or other body of water as a result of undermining caused by waves or currents of water exceeding anticipated cyclical levels or suddenly caused by an unusually high water level in a natural body of water, accompanied by a severe storm, or by an unanticipated force of nature, such as a flash flood or an abnormal tidal surge, or by some similarly unusual and unforeseeable event which results in flooding.

Flood-related erosion area and flood-related erosion-prone area mean a land area adjoining the shore of a lake or other body of water which, due to the composition of the shoreline or bank and high water levels or wind-driven currents, is likely to suffer flood- related erosion damage.

Flood-related erosion area management means the operation of an overall program of corrective and preventive measures for reducing flood-related erosion damage, including but not limited to emergency preparedness plans, flood-related erosion control works, and floodplain management regulations.

Floodway means the channel of a river or other watercourse and the adjacent land areas that must be reserved in order to discharge the base flood without cumulatively increasing the water surface elevation more than one foot; also referred to as "regulatory floodway." Floodway encroachment lines means the lines marking the limits of floodways on federal, state, and local floodplain maps.

Item 10
Agenda Packet Page 94
Printed on Recycled Paper
Floodway fringe means the area of a floodplain on either side of the designated floodway where encroachment may be permitted.

Fraud and victimization, related to sections 42-23—42-25, means that the variance granted must not cause fraud on or victimization of the public. In examining this requirement, the variance board will consider the fact that every newly constructed building adds to government responsibilities and remains a part of the community for 50 to 100 years. Buildings that are permitted to be constructed below the base flood elevation are subject during all those years to increased risk of damage from floods, while future owners of the property and the community as a whole are subject to all the costs, inconvenience, danger, and suffering that those increased flood damages bring. In addition, future owners may purchase the property, unaware that it is subject to potential flood damage, and can be insured only at very high flood insurance rates.

Freeboard means a factor of safety usually expressed in feet above a flood level for purposes of floodplain management. Freeboard tends to compensate for the many unknown factors that could contribute to flood heights greater than the height calculated for a selected size flood and floodway conditions, such as wave action, bridge openings, and the hydrological effect of urbanization of the watershed.

Functionally dependent use means a use that cannot perform its intended purpose unless it is located or carried out in close proximity to water. The term includes only docking facilities, port facilities that are necessary for the loading and unloading of cargo or passengers, and shipbuilding and ship repair facilities, but does not include longterm storage or related manufacturing facilities.

Hardship, related to sections 42-23—42-25, means the hardship that would result from a failure to grant the requested variance. The variance board requires that the variance be exceptional, unusual, and peculiar to the property involved. Mere economic or financial hardship alone is not exceptional. Inconvenience, aesthetic considerations, physical handicaps, personal preferences, or the disapproval of one's neighbors likewise cannot, as a rule, qualify as exceptional hardships. All of these problems can be resolved through other means, without granting a variance. This is so even if the alternative means are more expensive or complicated than building with a variance, or if they require the property owner to put the parcel to a different use than originally intended, or to build elsewhere.

Highest adjacent grade means the highest natural elevation of the ground surface prior to construction next to the proposed walls of a structure.

Historic structure means any structure that is:
(1) Listed individually in the National Register of Historic Places (a listing maintained by the Department of the Interior) or preliminarily determined by the Secretary of the Interior as meeting the requirements for individual listing on the National Register;
(2) Certified or preliminarily determined by the Secretary of the Interior as contributing to the historical significance of a registered historic district or a district registered historic district;
Item 10
Agenda Packet Page 95
Printed on Recycled Paper
(3) Individually listed on a state inventory of historic places in states with historic preservation programs which have been approved by the Secretary of the Interior; or
(4) Individually listed on a local inventory of historic places in communities with historic preservation programs that have been certified either:
a. By an approved state program as determined by the Secretary of the Interior; or
b. By the Secretary of the Interior directly in states with approved programs.

Landfill means a permitted location for the disposal, placement or dumping of garbage, trash, debris, junk, or waste material.

Letter of Map Change (LOMC) means an official determination issued by FEMA that amends or revises an effective Flood Insurance Rate Map or Flood Insurance Study. Letters of Map Change include: (1) Listed individually in the National Register of Historic Places (a listing maintained by the Department of Interior) or preliminarily determined by the Secretary of the Interior as meeting the requirements for individual listing on the National Register; (2) Letter of Map Revision (LOMR): A revision based on technical data that may show changes to flood zones, flood elevations, special flood hazard area boundaries and floodway delineations, and other planimetric features; (3) Letter of Map Revision Based on Fill (LOMR-F): A determination that a structure or parcel of land has been elevated by fill above the base flood elevation and is, therefore, no longer located within the special flood hazard area. In order to qualify for this determination, the fill must have been permitted and placed in accordance with the community’s floodplain management regulations; and (4) Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR): A formal review and comment as to whether a proposed flood protection project or other project complies with the minimum NFIP requirements for such projects with respect to delineation of special flood hazard areas. A CLOMR does not revise the effective Flood Insurance Rate Map or Flood Insurance Study; upon submission and approval of certified as-built documentation, a Letter of Map Revision may be issued by FEMA to revise the effective FIRM.

Levee means a manmade structure, usually an earthen embankment, designed and constructed in accordance with sound engineering practices to contain, control, or divert the flow of water so as to provide protection from temporary flooding.

Levee system means a flood protection system that consists of a levee and associated structures, such as closure and drainage devices, which are constructed and operated in accordance with sound engineering practices.

Lowest floor means the lowest floor of any lowest enclosed area, including basement.

An unfinished or flood-resistant enclosure, usable solely for parking of vehicles, building access or storage in an area other than a basement area is not considered a building's lowest floor; provided that such enclosure is not built so as to render the structure in violation of the applicable nonelevation design requirements of this chapter.

Manufactured home means a structure, transportable in one or more sections, which is built on a permanent chassis and is designed for use with or without a permanent foundation when attached to the required utilities. The term "manufactured home" does not include a recreational vehicle.

Item 10
Agenda Packet Page 96
Printed on Recycled Paper
Manufactured home park or subdivision means a parcel or contiguous parcels of land divided into two or more manufactured home lots for rent or sale.

Map means the flood hazard boundary map (FHBM) or the flood insurance rate map (FIRM) for a community, issued by the Flood Insurance Administration of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Market Value means the price at which a property will change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither party being under compulsion to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts. As used in these regulations, the term refers to the market value of buildings and structures, excluding the land and other improvements on the parcel. Market value may be established by one of the following methods: (1) Actual Cash Value (replacement cost depreciated for age and quality of construction); (2) tax assessment value adjusted to approximate market value by a factor provided by the Property Appraiser; or (3) a qualified independent appraiser.

Mean sea level means, for purposes of the National Flood Insurance Program, the National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) of 1929 or other datum, to which base flood elevations shown on a community's flood insurance rate map are referenced.

Minimum necessary, related to sections 42-23—42-25, means the minimum necessary to afford relief to the applicant of a variance with a minimum deviation from the requirements of this chapter. For variances to an elevation requirement, this means the variance board need not grant permission for the applicant to build at grade, for example, or even to whatever elevation the applicant proposes, but only that level the board believes will both provide relief and preserve the integrity of the local ordinance.

Mudslide (i.e., mudflow) describes a condition where there is a river, flow or inundation of liquid mud down a hillside usually as a result of a dual condition of loss of brush cover, and the subsequent accumulation of water on the ground preceded by a period of unusually heavy or sustained rain.

Mudslide-prone area (i.e., mudflow-prone) means an area with land surfaces and slopes of unconsolidated material where the history, geology, and climate indicate a potential for mudflow.

New construction means structures for which the start of construction commenced on or after the effective date of a floodplain management regulation adopted by a community and includes any subsequent improvements to such structures.

New manufactured home park or subdivision means a manufactured home park or subdivision for which the construction of facilities for servicing the lots on which the manufactured homes are to be affixed, including, at a minimum, the installation of utilities, the construction of streets, and either final site grading or the pouring of concrete pads, is completed on or after the effective date of floodplain management regulations adopted by a community.

Obstruction includes but is not limited to any dam, wall, wharf, embankment, levee, dike, pile, abutment, protection, excavation, channelization, bridge, conduit, culvert, building, wire, fence, rock, gravel, refuse, fill, structure, vegetation or other material in, along, across or projecting into any watercourse which may alter, impede, retard or change the direction and/or velocity of the flow of water, or, due to its location, its propensity to Item 10
Agenda Packet Page 97
Printed on Recycled Paper
snare or collect debris carried by the flow of water or its likelihood of being carried downstream.

One-hundred year flood means a flood which has a one-percent annual probability of being equaled or exceeded. It is identical to the "base flood," which will be the term used throughout this chapter.

Principal structure means a structure used for the principal use of the property as distinguished from an accessory use.

Public safety and nuisances, related to sections 42-23 through 42-25, mean the granting of a variance must not result in additional threats to public safety or create nuisances. This chapter is intended to help protect the health, safety, well-being, and property of the local citizens. This is a long-range community effort made up of a combination of approaches such as adequate drainage systems, warning and evacuation plans, and keeping new property above the flood levels. These longterm goals can only be met if exceptions to the requirements of this chapter are kept to a bare minimum.

Recreational vehicle means a vehicle that is:
(1) Built on a single chassis;
(2) Four hundred square feet or fewer when measured at the largest horizontal projection;
(3) Designed to be self-propelled or permanently towable by a light-duty truck; and (4) Designed primarily not for use as a permanent dwelling but as temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, travel, or seasonal use.

Regulatory floodway means the channel of a river or other watercourse and the adjacent land areas that must be reserved in order to discharge the base flood without cumulatively increasing the water surface elevation more than a designated height.

Riverine means relating to, formed by, or resembling a river, including tributaries; stream; brook; etc.

Sheet flow area. See Area of shallow flooding.

Special flood hazard area (SFHA) means an area having special flood or flood-related erosion hazards, and shown on an FHBM or the FIRM as zone A, AE, AO, A1—A30, AE, A99, or AH.

Start of construction includes substantial improvement and other proposed new development and means the date the building permit was issued, provided the actual start of construction, repair, reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition, placement, or other improvement was within 180 days from the date of the permit. The actual start means either the first placement of permanent construction of a structure on a site, such as the pouring of slab or footings, the installation of piles, the construction of columns, or any work beyond the stage of excavation, or the placement of a manufactured home on a foundation.

Permanent construction does not include land preparation, such as clearing, grading and filling; nor does it include the installation of streets and/or walkways; nor does it include excavation for a basement, footings, piers, or foundations or the erection of temporary forms; nor does it include the installation on the property of accessory buildings, such as Item 10
Agenda Packet Page 98
Printed on Recycled Paper
garages or sheds not occupied as dwelling units or not part of the main structure. For a substantial improvement, the actual start of construction means the first alteration of any wall, ceiling, floor, or other structural part of a building, whether or not that alteration affects the external dimensions of the building.

Structure means a walled and roofed building, including a gas or liquid storage tank, that is principally above ground, as well as a manufactured home.

Substantial damage means damage of any origin sustained by a structure whereby the cost of restoring the structure to its before damaged condition would equal or exceed 50 percent of the market value of the structure before the damage occurred.

Substantial improvement means any reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition, or other proposed new development of a structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50 percent of the market value of the structure before the start of construction of the improvement. This term includes structures that have incurred substantial damage, regardless of the actual repair work performed. The term does not, however, include either:
(1) Any project for improvement of a structure to correct existing violations or state or local health, sanitary, or safety code specifications which have been identified by the local code enforcement official and which are the minimum necessary to ensure safe living conditions; or
(2) Any alteration of a historic structure, provided that the alteration will not preclude the structure's continued designation as a historic structure.

Variance means a grant of relief from the requirements of this chapter that permits construction in a manner that would otherwise be prohibited by this chapter.

Water surface elevation means the height, in relation to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) of 1929 or other datum, where specified, of floods of various magnitudes and frequencies in the floodplain of coastal or riverine areas.

Watercourse means a lake, river, creek, stream, wash, arroyo, channel or other topographic feature on, or over which, waters flow at least periodically. The term "watercourse" includes specifically designated areas in which substantial flood damage may occur.

SECTION 2. Amendment. Section 42-7 of the Citrus Heights Code is hereby amended to read as set forth below:

Sec. 42-7. Establishment of areas of special flood hazard.

The areas of special flood hazard identified by the Federal Insurance Administration (FIA) of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in the flood insurance study for Sacramento County, California and Incorporated Areas dated August 19, 1991 August 16, 2012, and the accompanying fFlood iInsurance rRate mMaps (FIRM), dated August 19, 1991, and all subsequent amendments and/or revisions thereto, are hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this chapter.

SUMMARY

SB 316 would charge a serial thief with a
felony if they have three or more prior theft-
related convictions and are convicted again of
petty theft.

EXISTING LAW
Existing law, enacted by Proposition 47, makes
the theft of property that does not exceed $950
in value, petty theft, and makes the crime
punishable as a misdemeanor, with exceptions.

Existing law states that any act of shoplifting
must be charged as such, and that a person
charged with shoplifting cannot also be charged
with burglary or theft of the same property.

Existing law punishes shoplifting as a
misdemeanor, except where a person has a
prior “super strike” or a registrable sex
conviction, in which case the offense is
punished as a felony by imprisonment in the
county jail pursuant to realignment.

PROBLEM
Since the implementation of Proposition 47,
property crime has continued to increase, as
seen by the surge in shoplifting and organized
smash and grabs hitting retailers and small
businesses across the state. According to a
February 2022 Berkley Institute of
Governmental Studies, two-thirds of California
voters supported changing Proposition 47.

While most of the recent “smash and grab”
thefts are already punishable as felonies, lack
of sufficient penalties to deter serial theft are a
problem with repeat offenders who commit
multiple petty theft violations. In a 2019 survey
conducted by the California Chamber of
Commerce, 74% of participants stated that they
supported “adding a felony for serial theft.”

Voters approved Proposition 47 in 2014 to
ensure that our criminal justice system focused
on violent and serious offenses. Instead, it led
to dangerous unintended consequences,
opening up businesses and individuals to
increased economic and psychological damage.

SOLUTION
This bill would reinstate petty theft with a
prior, as it existed prior to the passage of
Proposition 47, and extend those enhanced
penalties for repeat theft to the new crime of
shoplifting created by Proposition 47.

Generally, a person convicted of petty theft is
subject to misdemeanor penalties. This bill
would increase those penalties to a felony if the
person has three prior theft-related convictions.

Re: SUPPORT Senate Bill 316 – Prevent Serial Theft

Dear Senator Niello,

Please accept this letter of support for SB 316 from [Enter ORGANIZATION here]. This bill will ask voters to reinstate a previous provision of law that required an individual who has been convicted three or more times of petty theft, grand theft or other specified crimes and who is subsequently convicted of petty theft, to be subject to imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year or in a county jail for 16 months or 2 or 3 years.

Since Proposition 47’s enactment, there has been an increase in property crime, especially through shoplifting and smash and grabs. As the law currently stands, the lack of sufficient penalties to deter thieves has allowed for repeat offenders to become the norm.

SB 316 will allow for serial thieves to be charged with a felony if convicted after three prior theft-related convictions, instead of a misdemeanor. This bill will help increase community safety by moving dangerous criminals off of our streets.

[Enter ORGANIZATION here] is in support of SB 316 because of the reasons stated above [or personalize a message that fits your organizations reasons for supporting].

Sincerely,
