TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Fire Department
DATE: September 18, 2023
SUBJECT: Fire - Approval – Res. 23-___, Accepting the Assistance to Firefighter Grant (AFG) and amending the 2023-2024 FY Fire Department Budget to reflect $47,181.81 in grant funding awarded to fund the purchase of automatic CPR devices.

ATTACHMENTS: 1. Res. 23-__

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Councilmembers should consider recusal if a campaign contribution exceeding $250 has been received from the project proponent (developer, applicant, agent, and/or participants) since January 1, 2023 (Government Code 84308).

RECOMMENDATION
For the City Council to approve a resolution accepting the AFG grant and amending the 2023- 2024 FY Fire Department Budget to reflect the AFG grant funding for the purchase of automatic CPR devices.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Clovis Fire Department applied for the Assistance to Firefighter Grant (AFG) to fund automatic CPR devices to assist with the delivery of affective CPR on calls for service. Currently the Department has three automatic CPR devices in -service. The current model used, the LUCAS device, has given fire personnel the ability to extend the amount of time CPR is gi ven and increase the effectiveness due to the mechanical delivery. AFG funding was sought to purchase three additional units for the Fire Department so that all six of the front-line apparatus may be outfitted. There is a cost -sharing commitment of 10% ($4,718.19) as part of the award stipulations. This amount has been included in the 2023 -2024 FY Fire Department budget.

Commitment of the policy group, City Council, is required to accept the grant award.

BACKGROUND
In February of 2023, an application was submitted to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for the AFG to fund the purchase of three automatic CPR devices. The goal of AFG awards is to enhance the safety of the public and firefighters with respect to fire, and fire-related hazards.

The AFG Pr ogram accomplishes this by providing financial assistance directly to eligible fire 8 AGENDA ITEM NO. 3.
departments, non -affiliated emergency medical service (EMS) organizations, and State Fire Training Academies (SFTA) for critical training and equipment.

Sudden cardiac arrests are incidents that the Clovis Fire Department responds to on a regular basis. Our goal is to always respond as efficiently as possible, provide the highest level of care to increase the likelihood for a patient to survive a sudden cardiac arrest and recover to a state with minimal to no neurological deficits. Automatic CPR devices provide the ability to significantly increase survivability and quality of life for someone in sudden cardiac arrest. Studies show that automatic CPR devices increase the R OSC (Return of Spontaneous Circulation) in a cardiac arrest patient by 21%-41%.

On scene emergency factors which reduce the effectiveness of manual CPR include firefighter fatigue, which reduces effective compressions, limited space for effective compres sions, and pauses in compressions when moving a patient into the ambulance or into the hospital. All these factors are mitigated by the use of an automatic CPR device. Once the device is activated, it provides consistent and quality compressions for the entirety of the incident. Additionally, studies show that greater than 99% of patients with ROSC have improved neurological outcomes at 6 months when compared to manual compressions. These types of incidents require a lot of work to be completed in a short a mount of time by multiple personnel. Generally, at least 1, and sometimes 2, personnel are required to focus on providing compressions.

Implementing an automatic CPR device on scene frees up personnel to assist in additional emergency care which provides the patient with the best chance of survival. The use of an automatic CPR device provides quick, consistent, effective compressions allowing for the highest volume of blood flow to the brain while increasing the likelihood of ROSC BY 21%-41%.

We currently have 3 devices and are requesting funding for 3 additional automatic CPR devices which will outfit the remainder of our apparatus.

FISCAL IMPACT
Accepting the AFG award will increase the 2023 -2024 FY Fire Department budget by $47,181.81. Matching funds of $4,718.19 will be used from the existing Fire Department budget for EMS equipment.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
AFG provides a cost-effective means to purchase valuable medical equipment which will reduce the chance of Fire personnel injury, increase the survival rate of patients, and improve the overall medical service provided by the Fire Department.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
Fire Department staff will notify FEMA of Council approval of the AFG award. Staff will proceed to purchase the additional devices in accordance with grant guidelines and work with City Finance Department to request and log the reimbursement request.

RECOMMENDATION
For City Council to approve a resolution authorizing amendments to the City’s Classification and Compensation Plans by adopting the Waste Recycling Maintenance Worker Classification with a salary range of $4,335 to $5,270 per month and approve a resolution amending the City’s FY 23-24 Position Allocation Plan by adding one (1) Waste Recycling Maintenance Worker position and one (1) Staff Analyst position in the Public Utilities Department.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Public Utilities Department has determined that it is necessary to add both the proposed Waste Recycling Maintenance Worker classification and an additional Staff Analyst position. The Waste Recycling Maintenance Worker classification and the additional Staff Analyst position will be responsible for assisting with the implementation and compliance requirements needed for the new California State Senate Bill 1383. Adequate funds were included in the adopted FY 23- 24 budget for the two (2) additional positions . Modification of the City’s Classification, Compensation, and Position Allocation Plans require the City Council’s approval.

12 AGENDA ITEM NO. 4.

BACKGROUND
The Public Utilities Department has a need to add two (2) additional positions to comply with the California State Senate Bill 1383. The first position is the newly proposed Waste Recycling Maintenance Worker classification. The Waste Recycling Maintenance Worker will be responsible for performing semi -skilled and unskilled duties in solid waste collection. The incumbent will also assist in the assessment of residential and commercial recycling, organics, and the inspection of waste containers. The Public Utilities Department also has a need for a second position of an additional Staff Analyst position. The Staff Analyst is an existing classification already in the City’s Classification Plan. The additional Staff Analyst will provide the administrative support to the Solid Waste Manager in meeting the State mandate (SB 1383) on organics and diversion. The position allocation plan will be updated to reflect the two (2) additional positions, as noted in Attachment A of Attachment 2.

It is recommended that the new Waste Recycling Maintenance Worker classification be assigned to the Clovis Public Works Employees Association (CPWEA) bargaining unit for employee representation. CPWEA representatives are supportive of the assignment of the classification to the CPWEA employee bargaining unit.

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of salary and benefits for the two (2) additional positions for the remainder of FY 2 3-24 is approximately an additional $1 33,000. There are adequate funds in the Public Utilities Department budget to cover the costs of these positions for this fiscal year.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
The recommended changes to the City’s Classification, Compensation , and Position Allocation Plans better suits the staffing needs of the Public Utilities Department. Modification of the City’s Classification, Compensation, and Position Allocation Plans requires the City Council’s approval.

Kyocera was recently awarded a one (1) year contract extension by OMNIA Partners from June 1, 202 3, through M ay 3 1, 202 4, with one 1-year renewal option. OMNIA Partners, Public Sector is a public s ector purchasing organization for state and local government s, K -12 education, colleges, and universities. All contracts awarded by OMNIA have been competitively solicited and publicly awarded by a government entity serving as the lead agency while utilizing industry best practices and processes. The solicitation and award process used by OMNIA is comparable to the City’s formal proposal process for the procurement of equipment/copiers and purchasing/leasing through this cooperative purchase contract is authorized pursuant to Section IV.C. of the City’s Purchasing Manual.
19 AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.

BACKGROUND
The City is currently leasing copiers with Image 2000 through September 30, 202 3. Staff recommends utilizing the OMNIA Partners cooperative contract for the leasing of copiers with Kyocera via a third-party agreement with Image 2000.

Image 2000 is an established Southern California based company with a branch in Fresno since 1999. They are currently providing service to the City of Clovis as well as other public agencies, including Madera Unified School District and the California Department of Corrections-Corcoran.

During their tenure, Image 2000’s service to the City has been very good. Image 2000 proposes to provide the City a complete service, inclusive of OMNIA Partners guaranteed lowest pricing per OMNIA Contract #R191102.

Procurement
Region 4 Education Service Center (ESC), as the Principal Procurement Agency, has partnered with OMNIA Partners to make the resultant contract (also known as the “Master Agreement” in materials distributed by OMNIA Partners) from this solicitation available to other public agencies nationally, including state and local governmental entities, public and private primary, secondary and higher education entities, non -profit entities, and agencies for the public benefit (“Public Agencies”), through OMNIA Partners’ cooperative purchasing program. The Region 4 ESC is acting as the contracting agency for any other Public Agency that elects to utilize the resulting Master Agreement. Use of the Master Agreement by any Public Agency is preceded by their registration with OMNIA Partners (a “Participating Public Agency”).

Kyocera was awarded Contract #R191102, a cooperative contract offered through OMNIA Partners, formally known as National IPA and U.S. Communities. OMNIA Partners is a cooperative purchasing organization, offering cooperative contracts to the public sector which have been competitively solicited and publicly awarded by a lead agency using applicable procurement laws and regulations.

The lead agency in this case, Region 4 ESC, issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for copiers as detailed in the RFP 19 -11 Kyocera Document Solutions America, Inc. Cooperative Contract | Contract Documentation (OMNIApartners.com). The RFP’s public notice was listed in multiple states on numerous occasions. Five proposals were submitted and evaluated by an evaluation committee. Kyocera was the awarded agency and entered into a contract with Region 4 ESC, from June 1, 2023, through May 31, 2024, with option for one 1-year extension through May 31, 2025.

The City of Clovis is a registered member with OMNIA Partners and has utilized their serv ices in the past with a high level of satisfaction.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City is expecting to lease 12 copiers for a term of 60-months each. Depending upon models selected by the departments, the total annual cost is approximately $17,000. The City’s projected needs for copiers are within the FY23/24 budget allocation for these products. Image 2000 was able to negotiate with Kyocera to provide the best possible pricing for the city with some upgraded components that will provide a fifty dollars ($50.00) savings per month on the amount we are currently paying for copiers.
20 AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends authorizing use of OMNIA cooperative purchase contract with Kyocera through a third- party agreement with Image 2000. Image 2000 has serviced the City for copier leases in the past with a great reputation amongst City staff.

Pursuant to the City’s purchasing requirements, purchases of items/services exceeding $60,000.00 require City Council approval following a formal bidding or proposal process, unless waived by the City Council. Waiving the City’s formal bidding or proposal process for procuring a contract for the leasing of copiers and instead using a competitively bid cooperative purchase contract is authorized by Clovis Municipal Code, Section 2.7.06(a) and Section IV.C. of the City’s Purchasing Manual.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
Staff will forward copier request forms to each department for their selection of desired unit and forward 60-month leases for City Manager to sign . The remaining initial contract term is from June 1, 2023 – May 31, 2024, and may thereafter be extended one (1) year (up to May 31, 2025) upon mutual agreement of OMNIA and Kyocera.

Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan.

91.520(a)
This could be an overview that includes major initiatives and highlights that were proposed and executed throughout the program year.

The City of Clovis made significant progress in Program Year 2022, its second year of implementing the goals identified in the 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan period.

Some highlights of the program year include:
• Home Rehabilitation Grant Program: Rehabilitation work completed during the program year to preserve Clovis' affordable housing stock for low -income, owner -occupied households.

Rehabilitation measures were completed for 7 households. • Area-Based Policing: During the program year, the City employed an additional Community Service Officer tasked with implementing this activity focused solely on low- to moderate-income census tracts as designated by HUD. The CDBG funding allowed the City to add this new position to provide enhanced services and would not exist if not for the CDBG funding. This position provided 1,963 individual calls for services and initiated 598 code enforcement cases in the LMI census tracts including written warnings and citations, shopping cart removal, graffiti abatement, shopping cart removal, vehicles being towed, site inspections, illegal sign removal, and responding to and resolving Community Resource Management (CRM) complaints. Additionally, the officer also prov ided resources to residents for various programs including housing rehabilitation programs, organization of volunteers, educational programming on code enforcement issues, social services, and mental health services. This resulted in low to moderate income census tracts being in better condition and provided access to services that the City would otherwise not be able to provide, which improved the quality of life and opportunities for low and moderate income residents in the City of Clovis.
• Capital Improvement Projects: During the program year the City utilized CDBG funds to complete two Alley Reconstruction projects in low -income census tracts in the City. The Gettysburg/Norwhich Alley project was completed in April 2023, and the alleys SW of the intersection of Pollasky and Mitchell (previously referred to as the Dennis Beverly Alley Phase 1 and Phase 2) were completed in August 2023, and will be reported in next years' CAPER. • Economic Development - MicroEnterprise - Community Kitchen: CDBG funds are utilized to assist low-income persons to participate with the Clovis Culinary Center to establish professional culinary businesses as entrepreneurs. The Clovis Culinary Center also obtains additional community support to provide a 24/7 fully equipped commercial kitchen space, hands on technical assistance, training and support for the participants. CDBG funds assisted 5 low-income entrepreuners successfully manage their food based business. 36 AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.

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 matching requirement for the CDBG Program. However, the City of Clovis utilized non-CDBG funds for affordable housing projects.

The City administers its Housing Rehabilitation CDBG Grant funded program in conjunction with the State of California funded CalHome Loan Housing Repair Program. In addition to the 7 homeowners assisted during the program year with the CDBG Grant Program, the City completed one additional Loan funded project during the program year. Additionally, fifteen (15) other homeowners were assisted during the program year with housing repairs, and are in various stages of rehabilitation construction. It is expected that these will be completed within the next program year. 40 AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.

The City also provided $300,000 in local grant funds, to a non -profit housing developer for the construction of a 75 -unit supportive housing multi -family project (Butterfly Gardens). Construction was completed in October 2022.

The City also applied for and provided a commitment of funds in the amount of $1,200,000, from the State of California Permanent Local Housing Allocation program, for a 59 -unit multi-family affordable housing project. During the program year, the developer applied for state and federal tax credits to complete financing, but was unsuccessful. The City continued to strategize and work with the developer during the program year to identify an alternative project that could be more successful in obtaining state and federal financing for construction.

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
The City of Clovis does not operate a dedicated homeless shelter nor provides direct services. However, the City is an active supporter and participant in the MAP Point at the Poverello House (a local intake service provider and homeless shelter in Fresno, California) as a part of the Fresno Madera Continuum of Care (F MCOC). Those needing services within Clovis are provided an opportunity to utilize the MAP services. The MAP Point (Multi -Agency Access Program) is an integrated intake process that connects individuals facing homelessness, and connects them with housing a nd services. MAP connects homeless persons facing challenges with services related to behavioral health, substance abuse, physical health and/or mental health and social services.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City of Clovis does not receive funding for emergency shelter and transitional housing services.

However, Clovis is an active member of the Fresno Madera Continuum of Care (FMCoC), which is the organization that acts as the regional planning body to address homelessness in the region. City staff also participates, annually, in the Point-in-Time count to identify the number and location of homeless persons to better provide them services, and also participates in the ranking committee for the FMCoC's application to HUD for Homeless Housing Funds.

During the Program Year, a Permanent Supportive Housing project was completed in Clovis. The apartment complex, called Butterfly Gardens, provides 75 one-bedroom apartments for very low-income persons experiencing homelessness and persons with disabilities . The City provided the developer a $300,000 grant for the development of the project.

Clovis shares tax revenue with Fresno County that helps support programs such as the Marjaree Mason Center, which reports servicing over 300 battered women from the Clovis area per year. In addition, the tax revenue supports the EOC Sanctuary Youth Center that reports sheltering over 200 homeless youths ages 11-17 annually.

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 43 AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.

CAPER 2022-2023 9
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Clovis residents have access to many facilities within Fresno County, including assisted and independent residential facilities for both the general adult population and the elderly. There are 213 residential elderly care facilities in the County of Fresn o, with capacity for over 5,000 persons. There are 161 Adult residential facilities, with capacity for over 900 persons.

More importantly, the City welcomed Butterfly Gardens, a 75 -unit permanent supportive housing development during the program year. The project receives referrals through the Multi -Agency Access Point for the County, as well as through the County's Behavioral Health Department, which assist persons who are at risk of becoming homeless, and particularly those likely to become homeless after being discharged from institutions. Tenants receive wrap -around services to assist them in continuing their housing journey, and stabilizing their lives.

Finally, the City of Clovis was awarded CDBG -CV funds to assist low income families with COVID related payments due. During the program year the City Council approved utilizing CDBG CV funds to assist low income families pay for Utility Payments in arrears, which include water, sewer and garbage. During the program year, a total of 25 households pay off Utility payments in arrears.

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 of Clovis has no dedicated homeless shelters or services. However, as identified above, the City is an active partner in the MAP services, FMCoC, and has provided grant funding for Butterfly Gardens for permanent supportive housing units in Clovis.

CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j)
Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
The City of Clovis considers the local public housing authority (Fresno Housing) a valuable partner in the provision of affordable housing and supportive services to our residents.

During a previous program year, the City implemented an Affordable Housing Development Impact Fee Reduction program and housing staff is an active participant in the review and processing of affordable housing development applications. The City previously provided $1,000,000 in grant funding to Fresno Housing for the construction of a 60 -unit apartment complex in Clovis for LMI tenants.

Construction was completed in June of 2021 and leasing occurred during the program year. Solivita 44 AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Additionally, City staff assists low income residents to access public housing by providing assistance, referrals and information regarding access to Fresno Housing's services.

Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
Clovis competes competitively for State HOME funds for the purpose of operating a first-time homebuyer program for LMI households, and advertises this program throughout the City. Clovis received HOME Program funds, from the State of California, in the amount of $1,000,000. The City was previously waiting for a per unit subsidy/price purchase limit waiver from the State of California to assist in the program's implementation. Instead, in July 2022, the state froze the program, thereby in effect pausing the availability of funds for homeownership.

Addtionally, the City received a $5,000,000 grant from the State of California CalHome program. A portion of these funds will be used for mortgage assistance. Staff contracted with Habitat for Humanity of Fresno for the implementation of this program, thou gh no units were identified for assistance (purchase and rehabilitation) during the program year.

Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs
The Fresno County Housing Authority is not considered to be a troubled PHA.

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) In its 2015 -23 Housing Element, Clovis identified several governmental constraints to the development, maintenance, and improvement of housing and affordable housing, as follows: Zoning Code Amendments, Lot Consolidation and Lot Splits, and Monitoring of Planning and Development Fees.

Clovis is working to resolve these constraints, but the process is not quick. Relative to lot splits, Clovis implementated a cottage home (ADU) program that in addition to allowing the development of these homes on lots alread y containing single -family homes, the City also provided three sets of building plans that can be used free of charge. The program, and the plans can be utilized City-wide.

In addition, Clovis has partnered with Self -Help Enterprises to provide low -interest loans to income qualified homeowners for construction of the cottage homes.

During a previous program year the City implemented an Affordable Housing Development Impact Fee Reduction program, and City affordable housing staff is an active participant in the review and 46 AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.

CAPER 2022-2023 12
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
processing of the development applications. Through the Impact Fee Reduction program the City provided $1,000,000 grant to the Fresno County Housing Authority for the construction of a 60 -unit apartment complex in Clovis occupied by LMI tenants. Construction was completed in June of 2021 and leasing was completed in 2021 -2022. The City also has set aside a $300,000 grant to a non -profit developer for 75 units of supportive housing. Construction of Butterfly Gardens was completed in October 2022. This is the first supportive housing project in Clovis. Both of these grants were funded with remnant redevelopment agency funds. The City also applied for, and committed funds in the amount of $1,200,000, from the State of California Permanent Local Housing Allocati on program for an affordable multi -family development project. The project applied for state funding in 2021-2022 but was unsuccessful. Project developers are re-strategizing for the project, and has located an alternate building site.

Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City of Clovis works to implement the projects described in the Annual Action Plan. The City also pursued additional Federal, State, and private funding, when available, to assist in meeting the underserved needs of Clovis residents. Clovis competes c ompetitively for State HOME funds for the purpose of operating a first -time homebuyer program for LMI households, and advertises this program throughout the City. Clovis received HOME Program funds in the amount of $1,000,000, from the State of California for the first time homebuyer program. A minimum of 10 low -income homebuyers will be assisted with these funds.

Addtionally in June of 2021 the City was notified it had received a $5,000,000 grant from the State of California CalHome program. A portion of these funds will be used for mortgage assistance. Staff has implemented a large portion of the housing rehabilit ation program during the program year, and will continue to market the home purchase/rehabilitation program during the upcoming program year.

The City also applied for and committed funds $1,200,000 from the State of California Permanent Local Housing Allcoation program to an affordable multi-family development, as described above.

Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) Clovis continues to work with the Fresno County Department of Public Health's Residential Housing and Lead Program when necessary, and will refer impacted households to their offices to received lead paint assistance.

Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) Poverty-level families are at constant risk of homelessness, being priced out of the housing market, and experiencing income insecurity. Unfortunately, Clovis does not receive funding specifically for the provision of homeless services or to generally assist poverty level families. However, the City is an active member of the Fresno Madera Continuum of Care, and continues to help Clovis' most vulnerable residents 47 AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.

CAPER 2022-2023 13

access the services of the region's social service providers. During the program year the City, developed an emergency utilities assistance program, to be implemented in the 2022 -2023 year, to provide utility assistance to low income families affected by C OVID-19. The City also continued its robust economic development programs which include business attraction, job creation, and coordination with local educational institutions to improve economic conditions in Clovis and the greater region. City staff also provides poverty -level families with referrals and information in regards to the Emergency Rental Assistance program, as administrated by the County of Fresno.

Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) Clovis staff is responsible for the administration of the CDBG program.

In order to make the system more available to low -income riders and elderly residents, the Clovis City Council adopted a zero fare policy in the fall of 2020, which was in effect during the 2021 PY as well. The elimination of transit fares has alleviated public transportation as an impediment, and has made the option a viable one for residents.

Annual Accomplishments
Years Accomplishment Narrative # Benefitting
2022 During the program year, the City employed an additional Community Service Officer tasked with implementing this activity focused solely on low to moderate income census tracts as designated by HUD. The CDBG funding allowed the City to add this position to provide enhanced services and would not exist if not for the CDBG funding. During the program year, this position attended to 1,963 individual calls for services and initiated 598 code enforcement cases in the LMI census tracts. Assistance provided to the community included the following: written warnings and citations, shopping cart removal, graffiti abatement, shopping cart removal, vehicles being towed, site inspections, illegal sign removal, and responding to and resolving Community Resource Management (CRM) complaints. Additionally, during the program year, the City provided Community Service Officer training in LMI areas via a bus tour to familiarize staff with the on-going growth in the City, and visually identify common code enforcement violations. The officer also provided resources to residents for various programs including housing rehabilitation programs, organization of volunteers, educational programming on code enforcement issues, participation in community/neighborhood events, social services, and mental health services. This resulted in low to moderate income census tracts being in better condition and providing access to services that the City would otherwise not be able to provide, which improved the quality of life and opportunities for low and moderate income residents in the City of Clovis. 60 AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the amendment to the General Plan to increase the maximum density of the H (High Density Residential) General Plan Designation and introduce the ordinance amending the R-3 (Multifamily High Density) Zone District to increase the maximum density and the maximum height.
81 AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Clovis is proposing a general plan text change and an ordinance amendment to adjust the density range for the H (High Density Residential) General Plan designation and R-3 (Multifamily High Density) Zone District to correspond to the applicable density requirements specified for the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) sites inventory. The current density range for these classifications is 15.1 to 25.0 dwelling units per acre. The proposed density range is 15.1 to 30.0 units per acre. The height limit for the R-3 (Multifamily High Density) Zone District is also being adjusted from 2 stories (35’) to 3 stories (45’) to accommodate the design of projects at the modified density range.

BACKGROUND
The Clovis General Plan and the Clovis Development Code were adopted together as part of a comprehensive update in August 2014. The General Plan and Development Code establish land use designations and zone districts that accommodate residential development at varyi ng densities, as follows:

PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS
The Project under consideration proposes to increase the maximum density for the H (High Density) General Plan designation and R -3 (Multifamily High Density) Zone District to correspond to the applicable density requirements specified for the City’s RHNA sites inventory.

The discussion below provides background regarding the RHNA sites inventory and how the proposed amendments will help the City to meet its requirements.

General Plan Housing Element

Housing Elements are required for every city and county, and they are overseen by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). Housing Elements must be updated every 8 years, with each update and its reporting period referred to as a “cycle”. Clovis adopted its Fifth Cycle Housing Element in 2016 and its Sixth Cycle Housing Element is due at the end of 2023. Each cycle must show that the City has sufficient land available to accommodate its housing needs (“sites inventory”) as determined by HCD and the Fresno County Council of Governments. These housing needs are referred to as the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).

82 AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.

RHNA Sites Inventory for Low and Very Low-Income Housing Opportunities

The RHNA sites inventory must demonstrate that adequate land is available to accommodate low income, moderate income, and above moderate-income housing needs. For inventory planning purposes, low-income sites must allow high density multifamily residential development. When the 2014 General Plan and Development Code were being prepared, the Fourth Cycle Housing Element was in place and work on the Fifth Cycle Housing element was just starting. The applicable requirements at that time specified that sites identified for low- income housing opportunities had to accommodate at least 20 units per a cre. Based on that requirement, properties that were designated with the H (High) and VH (Very High Density Residential) designations (and corresponding zone districts) were eligible to be included.

Table 2: Current Density Ranges Allowing At Least 20 Units Per Acre General Plan Designation | Zone District Current Density Range High Density | R-3: 15.1 – 25.0
Very High Density | R-4: 25.1 – 43

For the Sixth Cycle Housing Element, which is currently being prepared by the City, the requirements for low income RHNA sites changed to specify that land use classifications must allow at least 30 units per acre. Based on this new requirement, only those parcels classified as Very High Density Residential with R-4 (Multifamily Very High Density) zoning would be eligible for inclusion. To increase the number of potential sites, the maximum density allowed in the H (High Density) General Plan Designation and corresponding R-3 (Multifamily High Density) Zone District is proposed to increase to 30 units per acre. This change will make properties with these designations eligible for inclusion in the sites inventory, while also creating additional flexibility for multi-family projects that are proposing to develop at a density above 25 units per acre.

Specific Changes Proposed to the General Plan and the Development

The specific changes proposed to the General Plan and Development Code are outlined in Attachments 1 and 2, respectively. The changes are summarized as follows:

1. General Plan Land Use Element - Figure LU-1. Amend the legend for the Land Use Diagram to reflect 30 units per acre as the maximum density for the H (High Density) land use designation.

2. General Plan Land Use Element - Table LU-2. Amend the description of the H (High Density) land use designation to reflect 30 units per acre as the maximum density.

3. Development Code Section 9.10.010. Amend the description of the R -3 (Multifamily High Density) Zone District to reflect 30 units per acre as the maximum density.

4. Development Code Section 9.10.030. Amend the development standards for the R -3 (Multifamily High Density) Zone District in Table 2 -3 to increase the maximum density to 30 units per acre (or 1 unit per 1,450 square feet of lot area) and to increase the maximum height in the R-3 District from 2 stories and 35 to 3 stories and 45 feet. 83 AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.

5. Development Code Section 9.08.010. Amend Table 2-1 to reflect the 30-unit maximum density that applies to the R -3 (Multifamily High Density) Zone District and H (High Density) General Plan land use designation.

6. Development Code 7.7.02. Amend the definitions relating to Major Street Development fees to reflect the 30-unit maximum density for Multi-family – High Density Development.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)

The H (High Density Residential) General Plan Designation and R -3 (Multifamily High Density) Zone District currently accommodate high density multi -family projects up to 25 units per acre.

The Project proposes a minor increase in the maximum density from 2 5 to 30 units per acre in response to new RHNA density requirements that are applicable to the Sixth Cycle Housing Element. No changes to the land use designations of individual properties are proposed; the increase in maximum density will be applied to properties that are already zoned and designated for high density multifamily development.

Buildout of the Clovis General Plan Planning Area was evaluated through the Environmental Impact Report certified by the City in 2014 in conjunction with adoption of the 2014 Clovis General Plan and Development Code Update (SCH No. 2012061069). An addendum to the General Plan EIR has been prepared for the proposed Project in accordance with Section 15164 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. According to Section 15164(b) of the State CEQA Guidelines, an addendum to an environmental impact report (EIR) is the appropriate environmental document in instances when “some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred.” The findings in support of the addendum are outlined in Attachment 3.

Section 15164(d) of the State CEQA Guidelines states that the decision -making body for a project where an addendum has been prepared shall consider the addendum prior to making a decision on the project. Formal adoption of the addendum is not required. The resolution and ordinance recommended for approval confirm the City Council’s consideration of the addendum.

Public Outreach

Staff conducted a meeting with the development community on August 3, 2023, to discuss the proposed density range modifications and to solicit feedback. No objections or concerns to the proposal were identified. During this discussion, several participants described their interest in working with the City to make additional changes to the residential density ranges, focusing on changes that would allow additional flexibility for various single family product types under one density range. Staff will continue to evaluate potential modifications, including the potential to adjust density ranges in conjunction with the comprehensive update to the General Pan that was recently initiated by the City Council.

84 AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.

Planning Commission Consideration

The Planning Commission considered the proposed project at its August 24, 2023, meeting.

The Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the proposed General Plan and Development Code amendments. During its deliberation on the Project, the Commission asked for confirmation that recommended amendments changes were in response to RHNA requirements and inquired as to the alternative(s) if the changes aren’t made.

Staff confirmed that the changes are in response to the RHNA requirements for the Sixth Cyle Housing Element and noted that City identified this change in the Draft Housing Element that was submitted to HCD for review. While the proposed amendments are driven by the RHNA requirements, the new standards would apply to both market rate and deed-restricted affordable housing projects. Approximately 100 acres of R-3 (Multifamily High Density) zoned property are included in the Draft RHNA inventory. If the maximum density is not increased, these properties cannot be included, and the City would instead need to rezone an additional 100 acres to the R- 4 (Multifamily Very High Density) District.

With regard to the proposed height increase from 35 to 45 feet in the R -3 (Multifamily High Density) District, Commissioners asked if there a re measures in place to reduce conflicts with multi-story projects adjacent to lower density neighborhoods. Staff indicated that the City’s objective standards include provisions to enhance compatibility, including obscuring views from upper-story windows. However, issues may continue to arise that residents view as conflicts. A Commissioner noted that we need to ensure the development community is cognizant of potential conflicts between uses and work to design projects that meet the City’s housing needs while minimizing or softening potential impacts.

One community member was in attendance and spoke on this item, asking if it was possible to establish a new zone district rather than modifying the existing R -3 (Multifamily High Density) District. While it is possible to create a new zone district with the necessary density and height criteria, that new zone district would still need to be applied to at least 100 acres of property throughout the City. This alternative would not provide greater assistance to the City in meeting its RHNA requirements or min imize potential conflicts associated with placing higher density multifamily uses in close proximity to lower density neighborhoods.

Publication of Public Notice

The City published notice of this public hearing in The Business Journal on Friday, September 1, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
The recommended modifications to the General Plan and Development Code will allow the residential density ranges to correspond to the applicable RHNA requirements of the Sixth Cycle Housing element. The proposed changes will help the City meet its RHNA Inv entory 85 AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.
requirements and will create additional flexibility for the development of high-density multi-family projects on properties that are currently designated for these uses.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
If the Council approves the introduction of the pro posed ordinance amendment, the ordinance will be placed on the October 2, 2023, agenda for second reading and adoption.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CLOVIS APPROVING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT GPA2023-003 AMENDING THE 2014 CLOVIS

GENERAL PLAN TO MODIFY THE DENSITY RANGE OF THE H (HIGH DENSITY

RESIDENTIAL) LAND USE DESIGNATION

WHEREAS, the City of Clovis, 1033 Fifth Street, Clovis CA, 93619, initiated an application for General Plan Amendment (GPA) 202 3-003 to amend the 2014 General Plan to modify the density range of the H (High Density Residential) land use designation (“the Project”); and

WHEREAS, the initiation of the Project was the result of a change to the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) density requirements for the Sixth Cycle Housing Element, which specified that general plan and zoning classifications must allow at least 30 units per acre to be eligible for inclusion in the RHNA sites inventory for low income housing opportunities, in comparison to the 20 unit per acre density requirement which had been applicable for the Fifth Cycle Housing Element; and

WHEREAS, based on the applicable density requirements for the Sixth Cyle RHNA sites inventory, the only General Plan land use designation that can accommodate the 30 unit per acre minimum density is VH (Very High Density Residential), which has a density range of 25-43 units per acre; and

WHEREAS, the City determined that increasing the maximum density for the H (High Density Residential) land use designation from 25 to 30 units per acre would realign the City’s residential density ranges with its new RHNA requirements, help the City to meet those RHNA requirements, and create additional flexibility for multifamily projects that are proposing to develop at a density above 25 units per acre; and

WHEREAS, b uildout of the Clovis General Plan Planning Area was evaluated through the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) certified by the City in 2014 in conjunction with adoption of the Clovis General Plan and Development Code Update (SCH No. 2012061069); and

WHEREAS, an a ddendum to the General Plan EIR has been prepared for the proposed Project in accordance with Section 15164 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines , which specifies that an addendum is appropriate in instances when “some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described i n Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred; and

WHEREAS, the Clovis Planning Commission considered the proposed Project and the addendum to the General Plan EIR at a duly noticed public hearing on August 87 AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.
24, 2023, and after said hearing, adopted a resolution recommending approval of the proposed project; and

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission’s recommendation was forwarded to the Council for consideration in conjunction with the Project at a duly noticed public hearing held on September 18, 2023; and

WHEREAS, the City published notice of the public hearing for the Project in the Fresno Business Journal on September 1, 2023, more than ten (10) days prior to the City Council hearing, and otherwise posted notice of the public hearing in accordance with applicable law; and

WHEREAS, the City Council considered the addendum in conjunction with the Project and found that none of the conditions described in Section 15162 of the C EQA Guidelines have occurred; and

WHEREAS, the City Council has had an opportunity to review and consider the entire Administrative Record relating to the Project, which is on file with the City’s Department of Planning and Development Services, and reviewed and considered those portions of the Administrative Reco rd determined to be necessary to make an informed decision, including, but not necessarily limited to, the staff report, the written materials submitted with the request, and the verbal and written testimony and other evidence presented during the public hearing.

NOW, THEREFORE, BASED UPON THE ENTIRE RECORD OF THE
PROCEEDINGS, THE CITY COUNCIL RESOLVES AND FINDS AS FOLLOWS:

1. In accordance with Section 15164 ( d) of the CEQA Guidelines, the addendum to the General Plan EIR prepared for the Project and the final General Plan EIR have been considered by the City Council prior to making a decision on the Project. In considering the addendum, the following determinations were made:

a. There are no substantial changes proposed in the Project which would require major revisions to the General Plan EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.

b. No substantial changes would occur with respect to the circumstances under which the Project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the General Plan EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.

c. There is no n ew information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was adopted, that shows any of the following: (i) The 88 AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.

Project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the General Plan EIR; (ii) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the General Plan EIR; ( iii) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the Project; and, (iv) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the General Pla n EIR, would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment.

2. The Project satisfies the required findings for approval of a general plan amendment, as follows:

a. GPA2023-003 is internally consistent with the goals, policies, and actions of the General Plan.

b. GPA2023-003 would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or general welfare of the City.

c. There is a compelling reason for the amendment, namely, to align the City’s residential density ranges wit h applicable RHNA requirements, thereby assisting the City with meeting its RHNA sites inventory requirements.

3. General Plan Amendment GPA202 3-003, as outlined in Attachment A , is hereby approved.

4. The basis for the findings is detailed in the September 18, 2023, staff report, which is hereby incorporated by reference, the entire Administrative Record, as well as the evidence and comments presented during the public hearing.

WHEREAS, the City of Clovis, 1033 Fifth Street, Clovis CA, 93619, initiated an application for Ordinance Amendment (OA) 2023-002 to amend the Clovis Development Code to modify the density range for the R-3 (Multifamily High Density) zone district; and

WHEREAS, based on the applicable density requirements for the Sixth Cyle RHNA sites inventory, the only zone district that can accommodate the 30 unit per acre minimum density is R-4 (Multifamily Very High Density), which has a density range of 25- 43 units per acre; and

WHEREAS, the City determined that increasing the maximum density for the R-3 (Multifamily High Density) zone district from 25 to 30 units per acre would realign the City’s residential density ranges with its new RHNA requirements, help the City to meet those RHNA requirements, and create additional flexibility for multifamily projects that are proposing to develop at a density above 25 units per acre; and

WHEREAS, an a ddendum to the General Plan EIR has been prepared for the proposed Project in accordance with Section 15164 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines , which specifies that an addendum is appropriate in instances when some changes or additions are necessary but none of the cond itions described in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred; and

91 AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.

WHEREAS, the City Council considered the addendum in conjunction with the Project and found that none of the conditions described i n Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines have occurred; and

WHEREAS, the Clovis Planning Commission considered OA2023 -002 at its August 24, 2023 meeting where the Commission adopted a resolution recommending that the City Council approve the project; and

WHEREAS, the City published notice of the public hearing for OA 2023-002 in the Fresno Business Journal on September 1, 2023, more than ten (10) days prior to the City Council hearing, and otherwise posted notice of the public hearing in accordance with applicable law; and

WHEREAS, a duly noticed public hearing was held on September 18, 2023; and

WHEREAS, the City Council has had an opportunity to review and consider the entire Administrative Record relating to the Project, which is on file with the City’s Department of Planning and Development Services, and reviewed and considered those portions of the Administrative Record determined to be necessary to make an informed decision, including, but not necessarily limited to, the staff report, the writte n materials submitted with the request, and the verbal and written testimony and other evidence presented during the public hearing.

NOW, THEREFORE, BASED UPON THE ENTIRE RECORD OF THE
PROCEEDINGS, THE CITY COUNCIL FINDS AS FOLLOWS:

1. In accordance with Section 15164(d) of the CEQA Guidelines, the addendum to the General Plan EIR prepared for the Project and the final General Plan EIR have been considered by the Planning Commission prior to making a decision on the Project. In considering the addendum, the following determinations were made:

a. There are no substantial changes proposed in the Project which would require major revisions to the General Plan EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the se verity of previously identified significant effects.

b. No substantial changes would occur with respect to the circumstances under which the Project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the General Plan EIR due to the involvement of new signif icant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.

c. There is no n ew information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable di ligence at the time the previous EIR was adopted, that shows any of the following: (i) The Project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the General 92 AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.

Plan EIR; (ii) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the General Plan EIR; ( iii) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the Project; and, (iv) Mitigation measures or a lternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the General Plan EIR, would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment.

2. The Project satisfies the required findings for approval of a n ordinance amendment, as follows:

a. OA 2023-002 is internally consistent with the goals, policies, and actions of the General Plan.

b. OA 2023 -002 would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or general welfare of the City.

c. There is a compelling reason for the ordinance amendment, namely, to align the City’s residential density ranges with applicable RHNA requirements, thereby assisting the City with meeting its RHNA sites inventory requirements.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY CO UNCIL OF THE CITY OF CLOVIS DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1 – Amendment to Section 9.10.010.

The R-3 and R -3-A Districts identify areas appropriate for high density residential uses, including attached and detached single -family residential, multifamily apartments and condominiums. The allowable density range is from 15.1 to 25.0 30.0 units per ac re. The R -3 and R -3-A Districts are consistent with the High Density Residential land use designation of the General Plan;

INTRODUCTION

The City of Clovis (City) is proposing General Plan Amendment GPA2023-003 to adjust the density range for the H (High Density Residential) General Plan designation from 15.1 -25.0 dwelling units per acre to 15.1-30.0 dwelling units per acre. The City also proposes Ordinance Amendment OA2023 -002 to modify the R-3 (Multifamily High Density) zone district to increase the maximum density from 25 to 30 units per acre. Both changes are proposed to correspond to the applicable density requirements specified for the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) sites inventory. The height limit for the R -3 zone district is also being adjusted from two stories (35’) to three stories (45’) to accommodate the design of projects at the modified density range.

This addendum is to the 2014 Clovis General Plan and Development Code Update (SCH No. 2012061069) adopted on September 8, 2014 . This addendum is prepared in accordance with Section 15164 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines and assesses the environmental impact(s) of the proposed project.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Project under consideration proposes to increase the maximum density for the H (High Density) General Plan designation and R-3 (Multifamily High Density) Zone District to correspond to the applicable density requirements specified for the City’s RHNA s ites inventory. The discussion below provides background regarding the RHNA sites inventory and how the proposed amendments will help the City to meet its requirements.

General Plan Housing Element

Housing Elements are required for every city and count y, and they are overseen by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). Housing Elements must be updated every 8 years, with each update and its reporting period referred to as a “cycle”. Clovis adopted its Fifth Cycle Housing Element in 2016 and its Sixth Cycle Housing Element is due at the end of 2023. Each cycle must show that the City has sufficient land available to accommodate its housing needs (“sites inventory”) as 96 AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.
2 | P a g e

determined by HCD and the Fresno County Council of Governments. These housing needs are referred to as the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).

RHNA Sites Inventory for Low and Very Low Income Housing Opportunities

The RHNA sites inventory must demonstrate that adequate land is available to accommodate low inc ome, moderate income, and above moderate income housing opportunities. For inventory planning purposes, low income sites must allow high density multifamily residential development. When the 2014 General Plan and Development Code were being prepared, the Fourth Cycle Housing Element was in place and work on the Fifth Cycle Housing element was just starting. The applicable requirements at that time specified that sites identified for low income housing opportunities had to accommodate at least 20 units per acre. Based on that requirement, properties that were designated with the High and Very High Density Residential designations (and corresponding zone districts) were eligible to be included.

General Plan Designation | Zone District Current Density Range High Density | R-3: 15.1 – 25.0
Very High Density | R-4: 25.1 – 43

To increase the number of potential sites, the maximum density allowed in the H (High Density) General Plan Designation and corresponding R -3 (Multifamily Hig h Density) Zone District is proposed to increase to 30 units per acre. This change will make properties with these designations eligible for inclusion in the sites inventory, while also creating additional flexibility for multi -family projects that are pro posing to develop at a density above 25 units per acre.

ADDENDUM TO THE GENERAL PLAN EIR

The H (High Density Residential) General Plan Designation and R -3 (Multifamily High Density) Zone District currently accommodate high density multi-family projects up to 25 units per acre. The Project proposes a minor increase in the maximum density from 25 to 30 units per acre in response to new RHNA density requirements that are applicable to the Sixth Cycle Housing Element. No changes to the land use designations of individual properties are proposed; the increase in maximum density will be applied to properties that are already zoned and designated for high density multifamily development.

An addendum to the General Plan EIR has been prepared for the proposed Project in 97 AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.
3 | P a g e

accordance with Section 15164 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. According to Section 15164(b) of the State CEQA Guidelines, an addendum to an environmental impact report (EIR) is the appropriate environmental document in instances when “some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred.”

CEQA FINDINGS

Section 15162(a) of the State CEQA Guidelines states that no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for a project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following findings has occured:

FINDINGS PURSUANT TO SECTION 15162 OF THE CEQA GUIDELINES. (1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which would require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;
Response
(1):

The project does not propose substantial changes th at would require the preparation of a subsequent EIR. The mitigation measures currently in place by the 2014 Clovis General Plan EIR remain and will apply to Development if the Project is approved in the same manner as if the Project is not approved. No new environmental effects or increases in the severity of previously identified effects have been identified as the result of the Project.
(2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or Response
(2):

There have been no substantial changes which would require revisions to the previously prepared EIR . The environmental effects outlined in the General Plan EIR remain the same. Future development projects will apply adopted mitigation measures. No new environmental effects or increases in the severity of previously identified effects have been identified as the result of the Project.
98 AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.

(3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was adopted, shows any of the following: (A) The project will have one or more significant e ffects not discussed in the previous EIR; (B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; (C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible an d would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project; and, (D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR, would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment.

Finding
(3):

The analysis conducted in conjunction with this addendum did not identify new information regarding significant effects not previously discussed in the EIR’s, and potential effects previously examined are not substantially more severe than originally discussed. No mitigation measures which were previously identified have been found infeasible, nor has it been determined that identified mitigations measures would not substantially reduce significant effects of the project. No mitigation measures have been added, modified, or are considerably different from those analyzed in the EIR. This project does not change or affect the previous findings of the EIR. Therefore, no new information identifies significant or substantially more severe effects than originally discussed.
