STAFF REPORT
Date: March 19, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Alfonso Noyola, City Manager/Executive Director
By: Richard Iglesias, City Clerk
Subject: Consideration to Review and Approve the Draft Minutes of March 5, 2024, for the Regular Meeting of the City Council and the Joint Meeting of the City of Cudahy as Successor Agency and Housing Successor Agency to the Cudahy Development Commission

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to review and approve the City Council / Successor Agency Draft Minutes for March 5, 2024.

BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS
On December 12, 2016, the City Council of the City of Cudahy adopted Resolution No. 16-38, approving the use of summary action minutes, meant to allow the City Clerk's Office to write the minutes in brief, assuring a record of Council's actions, due to having a recording of the full Council Meeting on the City’s website.

Historically
The Municipal Clerk is one of the oldest professions in government, dating back to 1272 A.D., originating in England. The record keeper then was called Remembrancer, an English official whose job was to remind the Lord Treasurer and Barons of Court, of business pending.

Years later, in the 1600s, when early colonists came to America, the office of the Clerk was one of the first offices to be established. Over the years, the City Clerk’s office has become the core for local government, and the liaison to the residents of the Community. The Municipal Clerk (City Clerk) is the record keeper of a City’s recorded history.

Item Number
12A

William Bennett Munro, a Canadian historian, and political scientist, who taught at Harvard University and the California Institute of Technology, stated in one of his first textbooks written: “No other office in municipal service has so many contacts. It serves the Mayor, the City Council, the City Manager (when there is one), and all administrative departments, without exception. All of them call upon it, almost daily, for some service or information. Its work is not spectacular, but it demands versatility, alertness, accuracy, and no end of patience.

The public does not realize how many loose ends of city administration this office pulls together.”
Moving forward to the present time, the City Clerk’s office today is generally responsible for keeping a record of City Council meetings; agreements; recordings of official documents; legal advertisements; municipal elections; commissions and committees current files; claims against the city; and other legal or official documents.

City Clerks are required to keep record of the proceedings (minutes) of Council meetings (Government Code Sections 36814 and 40801). Minutes are the official record of a meeting which provides a history of the Council’s decisions and actions.

CONCLUSION
The City Council is requested to approve the attached City Council / Agency Draft Minutes of the proceedings of March 5, 2024.

STRATEGIC PLAN CORRELATION
No correlation to the strategic plan.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

STAFF REPORT
Date: March 19, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Alfonso Noyola, City Manager/Executive Director
By: Joshua Calhoun, Finance Director
Subject: Approval of the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) for the Month of February 2024

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to approve the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) Report for the month of February 2024 in the amount of $12,728,593.04.

BACKGROUND

1. In 1955, the Pooled Money Investment Account (PMIA) started. LAIF became part of the PMIA. The oversight is provided by the Pooled Money Investment Board (PMIB) and an inhouse Investment Committee. The PMIB members consist of the State Treasurer, Director of Finance, and State Controller.

2. In 1977, LAIF was created as a voluntary program by Section 16429.1 et seq. of the California Government Code. The program was intended to be used as an investment alternative for California's local governments and special districts. The LAIF continues today under State Treasurer, Fiona Ma's administration.

3. On February 1, 2024, the balance in LAIF was $12,728,593.04 (See Attachment).

4. On February 29, 2024, the balance in LAIF was $12,728,593.04 (See Attachment).

ANALYSIS
The voluntary program offers local agencies the opportunity to participate in a major portfolio, which invests hundreds of millions of dollars, using the investment expertise of the State Item Number
12B

Treasurer’s Office investment staff at no additional cost to the taxpayer.

All securities are purchased under the authority of Government Code Section 16430 and 16480.4. The State Treasurer's Office takes delivery of all securities purchased on a delivery versus payment basis using a third-party custodian.

Cudahy Municipal Code Section 3.04.080 indicates, "Except as otherwise provided, no warrant shall be drawn or evidence of indebtedness issued unless there shall be at the time sufficient money in the treasury legally applicable to the payment of the same."

CONCLUSION
Once the City Council approves the current LAIF, this balance may be relied upon when determining if the City has sufficient funds available to pay demands and payroll as required by Cudahy Municipal Code Section 3.04.080.

STRATEGIC PLAN CORRELATION
Strategy #2. Provide regular updates to the City Council and community about the city’s finances.

STAFF REPORT
Date: March 19, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Alfonso Noyola, City Manager
Prepared By: Kassandra Cornejo, Associate Planner
Concurrence By: Juan Arauz, AICP, Community Development Director Subject: Consideration to Approve the 2023 General Plan Annual Progress Report and Housing Element Annual Progress Report Required by the State of California, Reporting Period January 1, 2023 – December 31, 2023

RECOMMENDATION
City staff recommends that the City Council take the following action(s):

1. Adopt Resolution No. 24-06 (Attachment A) approving the 2023 General Plan Annual Progress Report (APR); and

2. Authorize staff to file the 2023 Annual Progress Report with the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

BACKGROUND
California Government Code Section 65400 mandates that each City and County planning agency prepare an annual report on the status and progress in implementation of their General Plan and Housing Elements. These annual reports—the General Plan Annual Progress Report and Housing Element Annual Progress Report (APR)—are submitted to the State’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) by April 1st of each year for the prior calendar year. The reports must also be reviewed by the local governing body. The APR provides local legislative bodies with information to assess how the General Plan was implemented during the 12-month reporting period. More specifically, the APR explains how land use decisions relate to adopted goals, policies, and implementation measures of the General Plan. The APR will also provide enough information to identify necessary "course adjustments" or modifications to the General Plan and means to improve local implementation.

Item Number
14A

OPR uses the General Plan APR to help identify how local planning activities relate to statewide planning goals and policies. For the Housing Element APR, HCD provides a standard template that cities complete to fulfill statutory requirements for reporting on housing information – including housing production and affordability, implementation of Housing Element programs, and local efforts to remove governmental constraints to the development of housing. Most notably, the Housing Element APR includes a tabulation of the City’s progress toward the eightyear Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation, which is further detailed later in this report.

On March 20, 2018, the City Council adopted the 2040 General Plan and the 5th Cycle Housing Element which serves as the City’s comprehensive long-range policy document.

On August 15, 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 740 re-adopting the 6th Cycle Housing Element with an effective date of October 5, 2023. The City received certification on November 13, 2023.

On March 18, the Planning Commission heard a presentation and received a staff report on the Annual Progress Reports. After review by the Planning Commission and City Council, City staff will submit the APRs to HCD and OPR to ensure compliance with the State deadline of April 1, 2023 for the 2023 reporting period. Updated versions of these reports may be resubmitted to the OPR at any time if any revisions are required.

CUDAHY 2040 GENERAL PLAN APR HIGHLIGHTS
Cudahy General Plan 2040 includes seven State-mandated elements that address Land Use, Circulation, Open Space and Conservation, Safety, Noise and Housing (updated every eight years) as well as optional elements such as Air Quality and Economic Development. The City of Cudahy’s 2023 APR (Attachment A) was prepared consistent with the recommendations from OPR for review of the reporting periods from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023.

The scope of the report includes:

1. A summary of the milestones achieved in 2023 relating to the General Plan; and

2. A summary of the progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs; and

3. An overview of the status and progress in implementing the City’s ongoing General Plan implementation measures.

Highlights of key accomplishments from 2023 include:
• Certification of the Housing Element.
• Adoption of the Economic Development Strategic Plan.

• Adoption of Rent Stabilization and Tenant Protection Ordinances. • Continued work on zoning code amendments required to meet various Housing Element programs.
• Completion of a Local Roadway Safety Plan which identified and analyzed roadway safety concerns, and which resulted in recommendations for potential roadway safety improvements to reduce or eliminate safety issues identified by the plan. • Secured Metro Transit-Oriented Development Strategic Implementation Program (TOD SIP) grant funding to secure a consultant and begin planning efforts surrounding two (2) proposed Southeast Gateway Line stations. • Continued to host a monthly food distribution program. • Continued to provide residents with a variety of recreational programs.

HOUSING ELEMENT APR (6TH CYCLE)
The Housing Element APR describes the City’s progress toward implementation of the Housing Element programs within the reporting period of 2023. In particular, the report documents how much net new housing development, and at which affordability levels, has occurred during the reporting year. The housing units are tracked by calculating the number of development applications submitted, project entitlements approved, building permits issued, and building permits that received Certificate of Occupancy approval. The APR also includes status updates on the City’s progress in meeting the objectives for each of the numerous programs noted in the Housing Element. The City’s RHNA allocation and progress for the 2021-2029 6th Cycle is shown in the summary tables below, which is taken directly from the Housing Element and from “Table B” of the Housing Element APR provided in Attachment B. As identified in Table 2, 51 net new housing units were issued building permits in 2023, to be counted towards the City’s 393 unit allocation for the 6th planning cycle. Including the permits issued since the beginning of the 6th Cycle in 2021, the City has issued permits for 67 units.

TOTAL PROGRESS: 67
Housing units that count toward satisfying the City’s RHNA allocation may only include those for which building permits have been issued. However, the complete Housing Element APR provides a more complete picture of the City’s housing production and progress toward the RHNA allocation within the reporting year by acknowledging housing projects that are still in the construction and development pipeline process (i.e., projects submitted in 2023 that have not yet been approved, or projects that received an entitlement, but have not yet been issued a building permit). Overall, the City continues to make progress beyond what is captured in the RHNA table.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is a statute that requires state and local agencies to identify the significant environmental impacts of their actions and to avoid or mitigate those impacts, if feasible.

CEQA applies to certain activities that affect the environment of state and local public agencies.

A public agency must comply with CEQA when it undertakes an activity defined by CEQA as a "project." A project is an activity undertaken by a public agency or a private activity which must receive some discretionary approval (meaning that the agency has the authority to deny the requested permit or approval) from a government agency which may cause either a direct physical change or a reasonably foreseeable indirect change in the environment.

The Project has been environmentally reviewed pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Sections 21000, et seq. (“CEQA)”) and the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15000, et seq.). The requested entitlements have been noticed and posted according to CEQA Project Guidelines.

An environmental review has been considered for the subject project. In conformity with the CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines, the implementation of the General Plan Annual Progress Report is exempt from CEQA review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15306 Information Collection Class 6.
“Class 6 consists of basic data collection, research, experimental management, and resource evaluation activities which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource. These may be strictly for information gathering purposes, or as part of a study leading to an action which a public agency has not yet approved, adopted, or funded.”

This categorical exemption is applicable because the General Plan Annual Progress Report’s purpose is to summarize and evaluate the measurable outcomes, actions, and progress associated with the implementation of all the General Plan elements since its adoption on March 20, 2018.

CONCLUSION
If the City Council approves the 2023 Annual Progress Report, it will allow the City to comply with California Government Code Section 65400 which mandates that the City submit an annual report on the status of the General Plan and progress in its implementation to their legislative bodies, OPR and HCD. The General Plan and Housing Element annual reports describe the City’s ongoing efforts to implement and assess identified goals, policies and objectives in the General Plan and Housing Element. The APR will give OPR the opportunity to identify statewide trends in land use decision-making and how local planning and development activities relate to statewide planning goals and policies. Furthermore, demonstration of ongoing compliance with State required reporting ensures that the City maintains eligibility and competitiveness for ongoing grant funding opportunities that may help to implement these goals and policies.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the approval of the General Plan Annual Progress Report.

Executive Summary
The City of Cudahy’s 2023 General Plan Annual Progress Report was prepared by the Planning Division with input from other departments/divisions including Park & Recreation Division, Finance Department, City Clerk, Building & Safety Division, Community Preservation Division, and Public Works. The Report summarizes the measurable outcomes and actions associated with the implementation of all of the General Plan elements.

Following an extensive outreach program and considerable efforts on behalf of the entire community and City staff, the 2040 General Plan was adopted by the City Council on March 20, 2018. The City added two new elements as part of this General Plan update, an Economic Development Element and an Air Quality Element. Rather than create another new Element, the City integrated Environmental Justice into each Element. The City also took a holistic approach to community health, weaving principles of sustainability into every Element. Adoption included internal consistency with all General Plan elements, including the two new elements, environmental justice, and sustainability. The City also adopted updates to the Development Code and Zoning Map. On November 8, 2018, the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) certified the City’s 5
th Cycle Housing Element. This report provides a
summary of the current status of the General Plan and the 6th Cycle Housing Element, certified by HCD on November 13, 2023.

The City updated demographic and housing information as part of the City’s 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Housing Element Update. The Housing Element update included the 6 th cycle of the Regional
Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) projection period of 2021 through 2029. The City’s progress in meeting the Housing Element goals is also provided in the separate Housing Element Report (Appendix B).

The following key efforts were also accomplished in 2023 to implement the current General Plan:
• Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). The city of Cudahy received funding allocation for the FY 2022-23 of approximately $364,512.00. During the year 2023, the City utilized these funds for code enforcement, business assistance, single-unit housing rehabilitation, small business support program, food distribution, graffiti abatement, senior activities and public services.
• Transit Oriented Development Strategic Implementation Program (TOD SIP) Grant. The city of Cudahy received $160,000 in funds from Metro to create a strategic implementation plan to prepare two Cudahy neighborhoods located within a half-mile radius of new metro stations. The study will identify opportunities for residents and businesses to access affordable housing, jobs, and other crucial quality of life elements.

• SB2 Planning Grants Program. The City of Cudahy was awarded $160,000 through the Department of Housing and Community Development Planning Grants Program. These funds were used to prepare an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance with a CEQA streamlining component to facilitate the construction of affordable housing units. The City adopted the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance in 2022 and has monitored project applications submitted in 2023 for compliance with the Ordinance.
• Clean California Local Grant Program. In 2021, the city of Cudahy received the Clean California Local Grant Program for a total of $4.9 million. The grant is intended for the beautification of four sites focusing on the City’s portion of the LA River. These sites include the LA River Bikepath, Cudahy River Park, Clara Bridge Slopes, and Otis Avenue Pocket Park.

In 2023, the city of Cudahy continues to move the project forward in the design phase. • Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC) Brownfield Grant. In 2023, the city of Cudahy continued its efforts on successor agency site(s) 1, 2, 3, and 4 by completing the Phase 1 reports. The City will begin to conduct Phase II.
• The City continues to apply for new grants and implement previously awarded grants. These include circulation and infrastructure improvements (see Section 7, Circulation for more information) funded through the CFP, LRSP, HSIP, HSIP Cycle 11, and ATP Cycle 5 programs. • Food Distribution. The City also provided bi-weekly and monthly units of groceries to residents via the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)-funded Food Distribution project. • Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a short-range plan, usually five to ten years, which identifies capital projects. The City of Cudahy implemented its CIP Program for Fiscal Year 2022/2027 in 2023. The City also prepared a 2024 update to the CIP Program for Fiscal Year 2024/2028. The CIP update consists of sixty-seven (67) projects which are estimated at just above $78.54 million. • Economic Development Strategic Plan. On September 5, 2023, the City of Cudahy adopted an Economic Development Strategic Plan with the goal of transforming the City from a bedroom community into a full-service community with a focus on commercial redevelopment. Among other strategies, this plan included rezoning and the creation of an Entertainment District along Atlantic Boulevard as the City's primary commercial corridor • Shelter Beds with the Salvation Army Bell Shelter. The Salvation Army Bell Shelter is located within the city limits of the City of Bell and the shelter receives unhoused residents from the regional Continuum of Care (CoC) system. The Bell Shelter provides a significant portion of the region’s shelter beds, including the needs of Cudahy. The city of Cudahy has continued its partnership with the Salvation Army Bell Shelter to provide shelter for unhoused residents under the PLHA funding.

Section 65400 of the Government Code also requires the City submit an annual report on the status and progress of implementing the Housing Element of the General Plan. Housing information in compliance with this regulation is provided in this report using the forms and definitions adopted by HCD. This report summarizes the planning activities for the City of Cudahy from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023.

The scope of the report includes:

1. An overview of the City’s adopted: 2040 General Plan, 5th Cycle (2018-2021) Housing Element, 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Housing Element, Amended Development Code, and updated Zoning Map.

2. An overview of the status and progress in implementing the City’s ongoing General Plan implementation measures, including changes to the implementation measures as part of the 2040 General Plan.

3. A summary of the City’s progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs.

The purpose of this report is to inform The Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) about the status of implementing the 2040 General Plan (adopted March 20, 2018), housing issues, and development in the City. The report should be used to identify what necessary adjustments, if any, should be made to further implement the 2040 General Plan.

2.0 General Plan Background
Overview
The General Plan is mandated by California Government Code Section 65300, which requires each city and county to adopt a general plan for the physical development of the jurisdiction. The Cudahy General Plan establishes a vision for the City’s long-term growth and enhancement and provides strategies and actions to achieve this vision. The Plan also conveys the community’s goals and policies to City departments, other agencies, and private developers and establishes a basis for determining if development proposals and public projects are consistent.

The General Plan provides for establishing and prioritizing detailed plans and implementation programs. The Cudahy General Plan serves as the framework for future planning and development in the City. The Cudahy General Plan provides decision-makers, officials, residents, and developers the direction they need to achieve the long-term planning goals of the City. On March 20, 2018 the City adopted the 2040 General Plan. This update built upon the previous General Plan that was adopted in 2010 that emphasized the maintenance and revitalization of the residential neighborhoods and the improvement of the City’s commercial areas. State law regulates the content of General Plans. Sections 65300-65403 of the California Government Code require that local jurisdictions prepare and adopt a general plan to guide the physical development of the City and its sphere of influence. There are seven mandatory elements, and two non-mandatory elements, along with the integration of Environmental Justice and Sustainability into each Element, that comprise the 2040 Cudahy General Plan:
• Land Use
• Circulation
• Open Space and Conservation
• Economic Development
• Safety
• Air Quality
• Noise
• Housing
The Elements that comprise the Cudahy 2040 General Plan, along with environmental justice and sustainability, are summarized in Section 7 of this Report.

Implementation of the General Plan
Each policy in the General Plan includes one or more implementation programs or actions to assure that there is a mechanism for its implementation. The implementation of the General Plan establishes ongoing programs that must be developed by City staff and approved by the City Council before being implemented. Implementation programs or actions are necessary to

achieve the General Plan’s goals and policies. The Implementation programs are organized by corresponding General Plan Elements that further refine and group programs into related areas and topics.

3.0 City Background
The City of Cudahy
As noted previously, on March 20, 2018 the City adopted the 2040 General Plan, thus updating the previous General Plan. The 2040 General Plan governs the land area located within the corporate boundaries of the City of Cudahy. The incorporated City limits were not changed with the adoption of the 2040 General Plan. The total land area for the City is 1.2 square miles making it one of the smallest incorporated cities in California in terms of land area. The City is located eight miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles and immediately west of the Los Angeles River and the Long Beach Freeway (SR-710). Cudahy is bounded on the north by Bell, on the west by Huntington Park, on the east by Bell Gardens, and on the south by South Gate. The location of the City of Cudahy, in a regional and local context, is indicated below in Figures 1 and 2 respectively.

Cudahy is located just south of an industrial district that includes the cities of southeast Los Angeles, Vernon, Huntington Park, Commerce, Montebello, and Santa Fe Springs. As industrial development occurred in the area, Cudahy along with the neighboring communities of Bell, Bell Gardens, Huntington Park, and Maywood, provided the homes and shopping areas for those working in the nearby industrial areas. The surrounding cities in the area incorporated during the 1920's and 1930's though Cudahy remained unincorporated until November 10, 1960. In 1970, the City's population was 16,998 persons according to the U. S. Census conducted for that year.

In 1980, the census estimated the population at 17,984 persons; the 1990 census estimated the population at 22,817 persons; the 2000 census estimated the population at 24,208 persons; the 2010 census estimated the population at 23,805 persons and the 2020 census estimated the population at 22,811 persons.

Cudahy is one of the most densely populated communities in California. The most recent U.S.

Census population estimates (2020) show Cudahy with a population density of 24,076 persons per square mile. As indicated earlier, the City’s land area of just over one square mile makes

Cudahy is one of the smallest cities in the state in terms of land area, though it is one of the most densely populated.

Early growth in the area that is now Cudahy paralleled the boom that most of Southern California experienced following the Second World War and continuing on into the 1950's. A second and even greater period of growth occurred in the 1980’s and 1990’s due to people migrating into the area, primarily from various Latin American nations.

The majority of the City is zoned for high-density residential development (HDR) and mediumdensity residential (MDR) that has resulted in a transition from lower density single-family neighborhoods to higher density residential uses. The resulting residential development, now found in the City, is characterized by single-family units interspersed with higher density development.

Population Trends
Population data sets are the most expressive indicators of growth trends in Cudahy. Table 1 below, lists the City of Cudahy’s population by decade from 1970 to 2020 with the annual change rates for each decade.

Population growth in Cudahy was the greatest in the 1990's when California and Los Angeles were both popular migration destinations. The 2020 Census noted a reduction in the population.

This decrease may be attributed to the migration of younger families into the area as well as natural decreases in population. The reports of 1992 assumed that growth in the coming decade would be similar to that observed from 1970 to 1980 (5.8%) and the resulting population projection, projected a population of 24,140 in the year-2000, which was quite close to the actual 2000 population figure of 24,208 persons identified in the U.S. Census for that year.

The California Department of Finance, 2023 population estimate for Cudahy was 22,270.

The following are some key findings concerning demographics and housing:
• Cudahy experienced its greatest population growth in the 1990s; however, from the years of 2007 through 2023 there was a slight reduction in population that may be attributed to the declining economy and high inflation from 2000 to 2020. • Cudahy again experiences a slight reduction in population in 2023 and projections are that this slight reduction will continue.
• Cudahy is a predominately Hispanic/Latino community.
• Cudahy has a low educational attainment with very few of the City’s residents having some college or higher.
• According to the US Census, American Community Survey date the median age in 2020 is

29.1. • According to the 2020 California Department of Finance records, the housing make up is as follows; single detached units (36.8%), single attached units (22.1%), 2-4 units (5.6%), 5 or more units (27.3%), and (7.3%) are mobile home units. • The City’s housing stock is getting older, well over half (57.4%) of the City’s housing stock was built prior to 1960.
• Between 2000 and 2020 median home sale prices in Cudahy increases by 179%. In 2018, the median home sale in Cudahy were $430,000 and the highest experienced since 2000 was $493,500 in 2007.
• A household was considered to be overpaying for housing if more than 30% of their net “take-home” income was used for paying rent or mortgages. According to census figures for the year 2020, 255 households (45.2% of the total owner-occupied units) living in owner-occupied units paid in excess of 30% of their monthly income towards the mortgage.

During 2023, the City continued to implement the City’s General Plan by reviewing requested entitlements, updating the Capital Improvement Program, applying for a variety of grants, and adopting the Economic Development Strategic Plan. Cudahy’s General Plan reflects the community’s shared values of what Cudahy is today and plans to be in future years. 5 th and 6th Cycle Housing Element Implementation
Throughout 2023, the City continued to implement the goals of the Housing Element. This included discussing upcoming zoning text amendments required to meet Housing Element programs at several Planning Commission meetings and researching grants for programs that would promote affordable housing.

Business Licenses

Code Compliance
The City community preservation efforts encourage property maintenance and upkeep. These efforts include the identification of nuisances that endanger public health and safety, and the provision of technical support or other incentives to allow early correction of the problem. The City works towards the continued renovation of structures that do not meet current seismic safety standards and electrical code requirements. Code Enforcement site visits are typically complaint driven. The City of Cudahy continued to maintain a number of programs that property owners may take advantage of if their unit is found to be substandard. Code Enforcement officers remained proactive during 2023, in referring residential property owners to these programs. Table 5 (Prohibited Conditions) and Table 6 (Building Code) identify the types of violations found throughout the calendar year of 2023.

Although many violations required formal citation, many other violations remain undocumented due to voluntary compliance efforts which were resolved without citation or formal compliance efforts. Such voluntary compliance efforts include advertising banners, parking concerns, weed abatement, and other minor violations.

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Residential Rehabilitation Program The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Residential Rehabilitation Program develops a working relationship with the residents of the City in order to promote a better quality of life. The program ensures adherence with CDBG regulations, contractual requirements, federal record keeping/documentation requirements, and local policies; and provides technical assistance to ensure that rehabilitation on a property is completed within the fiscal year funded. The rehabilitation specialist conducts interviews, performs on-site visits, and pre-approves client files for the Housing Improvement Program for Federal grants and/or loans.

Throughout 2023, the City, and country, continued to face the challenges of adjusting to coming out of the COVID-19 web-based communication back to in-person contact. These regulations impacted how the City conducted business, shifting many services back to in-person contact.

Additionally, even as the restrictions implemented for COVID-19 decreased in 2023, construction materials became scarce (including shortages for wood building products) and costs increased due to limited supplies. Although restrictions and supply shortages and increased costs continued, the City was successful in providing funds for one single-family, owner-occupied household. The City continues to promote the CDBG Rehabilitation Program, and looks forward to an improving economy, allowing for the provision of additional grants and/or loans in 2024.

During 2023, the following projects were part of the Residential Rehabilitation Program:

1. 7731 Otis Avenue, Cudahy, CA 90201
Single Family Residence - Owner Occupied. Remove the existing garage door and replace with a new one, demolish the closed inside garage, remove and dispose of all existing roof coverage layers, install kitchen railing exit, new kitchen cabinets, new countertop, replace the kitchen sink, installation of new garbage disposal and remove existing exhaust fan and replacement.

5.0 Land and Housing Inventory
This section assesses the housing development potential in Cudahy during the 2021-2029 Housing Element planning period. The purpose is to determine the quantity of land available to accommodate the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). The RHNA is broken down by income group into four categories: Very Low (less than 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI)), Low (50-80% of AMI), Moderate (80-120% of AMI), and High (over 120% of AMI). While a jurisdiction must show that it has adequate sites in total to meet its RHNA, it must also show that it can meet the allocation at each of these income categories.

Housing Inventory
The State requires that a Housing Element identify how much housing can be constructed to accommodate the community’s RHNA. Section 65583(a)(3) of the California Government Code states that this inventory must be site specific to help localities determine the appropriate zoning, development standards, and infrastructure capacity to accommodate the new construction needed. The Code also requires that all land identified must be available for residential use in the planning period. Sites that require rezoning may be included in the inventory provided that actions are taken to address the rezoning early in the planning period.

The types of sites that are appropriate for residential development include:
• Vacant residentially zoned sites;
• Vacant non-residentially zoned sites that allow residential development; • Underutilized residentially zoned sites capable of being developed at a higher density or with greater intensity; and
• Non-residentially zoned sites that can be redeveloped for, and/or rezoned for, residential use (via program actions, such as rezoning).

Sites Inventory and Analysis
As part of the 2021-2029 Housing Element Update the City conducted a Sites Inventory and Analysis. The housing sites inventory for the current (2021-2029) RHNA consists of a mix of vacant and underutilized land. The inventory of vacant residential and mixed-use land in Cudahy totals

16.18 acres. Most vacant sites identified in the inventory allow densities above 20 units per acre and are credited towards the lower-income RHNA. These vacant properties can accomodate the City's RHNA of 393 units with the potential to support 632 units.

The inventory of underutilized residential land in Cudahy totals 16.18 acres. Most underutilized sites identified in the inventory allow densities above 20 units per acre and are credited towards the lower-income RHNA. All underutilized sites in the inventory have a minimum size of one-half acre and are located adjacent to other underutilized or vacant sites to accommodate lot consolidation. All of the identified sites included in this inventory also have a realistic capacity of more than double the currently developed uses.

Realistic Capacity
The City’s share of the regional housing need will be met through the implementation of a variety of strategies (e.g., available vacant land, and increasing allowable zoning densities throughout the entire City (e.g., as part of the 2040 General Plan and Development Code update, the HDR and Mixed-Use Zones were increased from 14.52 to 40 dwelling units per acre. Increasing the existing allowable density to 40 dwelling units per acre will further facilitate meeting the demand for affordable housing).

The City’s land inventory was developed by a combination of methods, among them, utilizing data available from the City and the LA County Assessor’s Parcel Maps, a review of aerial maps, and most importantly, through field work. The inventory was updated as part of the 2021-2029 Housing Element update efforts.

Key Sites for Housing
Vacant Sites and Underutilized Residential Land – The analysis indicates there are approximately 16.18 acres of vacant or underutilized land that can support 632 housing units at various income levels.

Increased Density in Cudahy – As part of the City’s 2040 General Plan update efforts, the City increased the allowable zoning densities throughout the entire City (e.g., the HDR was increased from 14.52 to 40 dwelling units per acre). Increasing the existing allowable density to 40 dwelling units per acre will further facilitate meeting the demand for affordable housing.

Zoning Appropriate to Accommodate Housing for Lower-Income Households The City recognizes that the higher density residential and mixed-use zones (HDR, CMU, and CivicMU) provide the potential for lower construction cost because of economies of scale created and are therefore most suitable for development of housing affordable to very lowincome and low-income households. Those sites identified in the inventory as having the greatest potential to accommodate housing affordable to lower income households allow densities of at least 40 dwelling units per acre.

Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA)

• Quantified Objectives
o California Housing Element Law requires jurisdictions to estimate the number of affordable housing opportunities that will be created over the seven-year planning period. In 1980, the State of California amended the Government Code by adding Article 10.6 regarding Housing Elements. By enacting this statute, the legislature found that "the availability of housing is of vital statewide importance, and the early attainment of decent housing and a suitable living environment for every California family is a priority of the highest order. The early attainment of this goal requires the cooperative participation of government and the private sector in an effort to expand housing opportunities and accommodate the housing needs of Californians of all economic levels. Local and state governments have a responsibility to use the powers vested in them to facilitate the improvement and development of housing to make adequate provision for the housing needs of all economic segments of the community…"
The quantified objectives of the City by income category, for the RHNA 6th Cycle January 2021-2029, are provided in the table below. The City’s objective is to allow the construction of at least 393 new units; from very low to above moderate-income levels.

Housing Cost and Affordability
The 2020 Census data indicated that for owner-occupied housing units, the majority of the monthly mortgage payments in the City was $2,000 or more, with the median being $1,812 per month. A household was considered to be overpaying for housing if more than 30% of their net “take-home” income was used for paying rent or mortgages. According to census figures for the year 2020, 45.2% of the total owner-occupied units living in owner-occupied units paid in excess of 30% of their monthly income towards the mortgage. According to the same census figures,

56.3% of the total renter households paid in excess of 30% of their monthly income towards the rent. The table below shows the percentages of owner-occupied units and renter occupied units that are paying in excess of 30% of their monthly income towards rent.

Table 8 Housing Overpayment
Housing Units Paying an Excess of 30% of their Monthly Income towards Rent Owner-Occupied Units 45.2%
Renter-Occupied Units 56.3%
Housing Crisis
Residential vacancy rates, and the location of the City within the Los Angeles basin, are two market constraints that affect the affordability of housing. As Los Angeles development areas continue to expand, Cudahy and the surrounding cities are becoming an increasingly convenient area in which to live. Housing prices will continue to rise due to this demand. Just over 1.9% of the housing stock within the Cudahy is vacant. This translates into a demand for housing in the region exceeding the available supply, which inflates both the rental and ownership housing prices. If land values, construction costs, and interest rates continue to increase in the long-term, the cost of all new housing will rise accordingly.

As indicated above, the City has no control over the market fluctuations that may affect housing costs because market conditions result from a complex interplay of national economic policies and general economic conditions. Inflation in the cost of goods and especially housing means that many families find themselves unable to afford suitable housing. The lack of sufficient income causes more working people to share the cost of a home. As a result, overcrowding is common, and the housing choice of many households is severely restricted.

Redlining practices have not been observed, as the city's housing market is not characterized by wide disparities in prices. The Long Beach Fair Housing Foundation monitors redlining practices in the Southern California region, including the City of Cudahy, and has found that redlining practices do not appear to be a problem.

Environmental and Infrastructure Constraints
Environmental factors, such as topography, soils, landslides and seismic hazards, and noise, as well as the lack of infrastructure, such as roads, water, and sewer lines, are constraints to housing development in the City. However, most of the potential housing sites identified by the City are not constrained by environmental factors or by lack of adequate infrastructure, with the exceptions of earthquake, ground shaking which affects the entire region and poor water infrastructure provided by Tract 180 Water Company. The General Plan has taken these environmental factors into account. Where development is planned on the remaining undeveloped sites, potential environmental impacts will be evaluated and mitigation measures shall be required, as needed.

Environmental Setting

The City of Cudahy is a relatively new city having only incorporated in the 1960s. At the time of incorporation, more than 80% of the City’s total land area was developed. In terms of land area, Cudahy is one of the smallest cities in Los Angeles County with only 1.2 square miles. In spite of its relatively small land area, Cudahy is home to 23,937 residents according to the most recent State Department of Finance estimates. The City’s relatively large population given its small geographic area makes it one of the most densely populated communities in California.

A great majority of the City is development in residential land uses with residential neighborhoods accounting for approximately 394-acres of land or 51.5% of the total land area of Cudahy. An industrial area is located in the southernmost portion of the City on both the west and east sides of Atlantic Avenue. Industrial land uses account for approximately 79-acres of land or 12.3% of the City’s total land area. Commercial land uses are located along the major roadways such as Atlantic Avenue and at key intersections and account for approximately 43-acres of land or 6.7% of the total City’s total land area.

Noise
The City is located in an area where the ambient noise levels are relatively high. A citywide noise inventory performed in May 2013, found that virtually all of the neighborhoods in Cudahy are located in areas where noise levels exceed 65 dBA. Traffic noise from automobiles, trucks, and other motor vehicles traveling along the local roadway network, is Cudahy’s most pervasive source of noise, as determined by a community noise survey conducted on November 24, 2015.

The City’s noise environment is not expected to significantly change over time since the primary factors contributing to noise, namely the arterial roadway and freeway traffic and nearby industrial, will have a continued presence in the City. State noise guidelines recommend that residential development be located in areas exposed to ambient outdoor noise levels no greater than 65 A-weighted decibels (dBA).

Geologic and Seismic Hazards
No known earthquake faults traverse Cudahy and the City is not exposed to natural environmental hazards such as flooding, slope erosion and landslides. However, the City is located within an area that is subject to liquefaction hazards. The City is located within the dam inundation area of the Garvey Reservoir in Monterey Park.

The nearest major river is the Los Angeles River. This River does have a potential impact on the City of Cudahy. Normally this river channel is dry and only carries a significant water flow during a major rainstorm. The river channel is part of the County Flood Control District and the City is protected by a levee wall.

City of Cudahy, like most of the Los Angeles Basin, lie over the area of one or more known earthquake faults, and potentially many more unknown faults, particularly so-called lateral or

blind thrust faults.

The major faults that have the potential to affect the greater Los Angeles Basin, and therefore the City of Cudahy are the:
• Norwalk
• Raymond Hill
• Malibu Coast-Santa MonicaHollywood
• San Andreas
• Newport-Inglewood
• San Fernando
• Sierra Madre
• Whittier
The Los Angeles Basin has a history of powerful and relatively frequent earthquakes, dating back to the powerful 8.0+ 1857 San Andreas Earthquake which did substantial damage to the relatively few buildings that existed at the time. Paleo seismological research indicates that large (8.0 +) earthquakes occur on the San Andreas fault at intervals between 45 and 332 years with an average interval of 140 years. Other lesser faults have also caused very damaging earthquakes since 1857. Notable earthquakes include the 1933 Long Beach Earthquake, the 1971 San Fernando Earthquake, the 1987 Whittier Earthquake and the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. In addition, many areas in the Los Angeles Basin have sandy soils that are subject to liquefaction, including in the City of Cudahy.

Roads
The transportation system in Cudahy consists of a roadway network dominated by Atlantic Avenue, collector streets, and local streets. The Long Beach Freeway (State Route-710) is located just east of Cudahy. Also, the City's central location in Los Angeles County provides Cudahy with easy access to most parts of the Southern California region. Local circulation within the City generally follows a grid pattern; except for Atlantic Avenue which extends in a north-south orientation at a slight angle and Salt Lake Avenue which follows the curve of the railroad tracks.

Atlantic Avenue is a regional highway that extends north to Alhambra and south to Long Beach.

Traffic volumes on most City streets are currently approaching or are at capacity.

Regional access to the City is provided by the Long Beach Freeway (I-710) that extends along the City's eastern border. Access to this freeway is provided by Florence Avenue (north of Cudahy) and Firestone Boulevard (south of Cudahy), both being major arterials located just outside the City. Florence Avenue is a major roadway that provides a connection to the Long Beach Freeway for the neighboring communities of Downey, Bell and Bell Gardens. With local freeway access largely dependent on Florence Avenue, the traffic on this roadway during peak hours is congested. Local access to Florence Avenue is provided by Wilcox Avenue and Atlantic Avenue and access to Firestone Boulevard is provided by Atlantic Avenue. The transportation system framework within Cudahy is largely defined by Atlantic Avenue which is a major north/south arterial that extends through the City. Other north/south roadways include Salt Lake Avenue,

Wilcox Avenue, and Otis Avenue which also provide access to neighboring cities. Clara Street and Santa Ana Street are two primary east/west roadways. Aside from Atlantic Avenue and Santa Ana Street (west of Atlantic Avenue), all of the streets in the City consist of two travel lanes.

All the potential housing sites identified are infill sites located in existing built-out areas of the City; all of which have adequate road access (ingress and egress).

Assessment of Sewer and Water
The City receives sewer service from the Los Angeles County Sewer and water service from the Tract 349 Mutual Water Company and Tract 180 Water Company. The table below identifies the findings relevant to the sewer and water systems.

If the development occurs on the parcels identified in the 2021 Housing Element Sites Inventory, and the maximum densities adopted in the 2040 General Plan and updated Development Code are achieved; then then the City has the potential to meet the RHNA requirements of 393 units in the 6
th cycle. The following improvements are critical to the success of achieving the housing goals:
• According to the 2020 California Department of Finance data, there were 5,770 housing units in Cudahy. The increases in density for both the HDR and Mixed-Use zone districts could provide an increase of 860 new housing units, for a total of 6,630 housing units in Cudahy.
• Los Angeles County Sewer will continue to operate adequately due to having a system that is > 90% free of blockages/restrictions, > 90% in adequate water capacity, > 80% free of structural defects, along with their newly implemented improvements. • Tract 349 Mutual Water Company currently has plans to replace one of the existing groundwater wells. Although the location of the new well has not yet been determined, it will be located at one of the two existing well locations. • Tract 180 Water Company states there is no deficit in water availability for the areas they serve. Tract 180 currently has enough water to supply current uses and future developments in their service area, including new residential developments. The company is currently upsizing water lines to be more efficient and to create more pressure. These improvements to the water lines will solve issues within the Cudahy service area more efficiently. These improvements should be completed by the end of 2025.
• Golden State Water Company (Golden State Water) provides water services to the east portion of the City east of Wilcox Avenue. Currently, no deficiencies exist within Golden State Water’s jurisdiction. Increases in land use density from new developments/redevelopments will require fire flow tests as mandated by the LA Fire

Department. Golden State Water has since implemented the Unidirectional Flushing (UDF) program to mitigate iron and manganese levels within the water supply.

6.0 Long Range Planning Activities
General Plan
While the pace of development has ebbed, the implementation of the City’s new 2040 General Plan includes planning efforts that will position Cudahy to accommodate future growth in a more sustainable manner and ready the community for investment and economic development opportunities. Below are summaries of the major, long range planning efforts, and accomplishments, that were completed in 2023:
- Adoption of the Economic Development Strategic Plan on September 5, 2023 - Certification of the Housing Element by HCD on November 13, 2023 Capital Improvement Program
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a roadmap that provides direction and guidance for the City of Cudahy on carefully planning and managing its capital and infrastructure assets.

Capital Improvement Programs assists in the planning and scheduling of finances for projects and the workforce needed to plan, design, and construct the projects.

The typical City of Cudahy CIP Program includes the following projects:
• Street Improvement projects
• Pedestrian and Bike Improvement Projects
• Traffic Signal/Traffic Safety Projects
• Bridge Improvement Projects
• Engineering Studies/Plans
• Environmental/Green Projects
• Energy Efficiency Projects
• Art and Beautification Projects
• Parks and Recreation Improvement Projects
• City Facilities Improvement Projects
• Information Technology Improvement

7.0 General Plan Elements
State law regulates the content of General Plans. Sections 65300-65403 of the California Government Code require that local jurisdictions prepare and adopt a general plan to guide the physical development of the City and its sphere of influence. There are seven mandatory elements that comprise the Cudahy General Plan: Land Use, Circulation (Transportation), Open Space and Conservation, Safety, Noise, and Housing. Rather than create a stand-alone Element, the City integrated Environmental Justice into each Element. The City also took a holistic approach to community health, weaving principles of sustainability into every Element as well.

The State encourages cities and counties to prepare other elements that address specific concerns in the community. The City’s 2040 General Plan update included two new Elements, an Air Quality Element and an Economic Development Element.

Land Use Element
The Land Use Element designates the general location, distribution, and extent of the various permitted land uses within the City. It establishes land use designations and defines the urban form for the various neighborhoods and districts in Cudahy. The element identifies standards for population density and development intensity for each type of land use. The goals and policies provide the framework for shaping the physical environment; they guide development decisions in a manner that will achieve high quality projects and a balanced mix of uses. Throughout the 2040 General Plan outreach process, community members stressed the importance of developing a distinctive look and feel for Cudahy, with uses that support living a well-rounded life.

Land Use Element; highlights of the progress made in the calendar year 2023:
• Continued to improve development application processing times. The time required to process a project varies greatly from one project to another and is directly related to the size and complexity of the proposal and the number of actions or approvals needed to complete the process. The table below identifies the typical processing time most common in the entitlement process. It should be noted that each project does not necessarily have to complete each step in the process (i.e., small scale projects consistent with General Plan and Zoning designations do not generally require Environmental Impact Reports (EIR), General Plan Amendments, Rezones, or Variances). Also, certain review and approval procedures may run concurrently. For example, a ministerial review for a singlefamily home would be processed concurrently with the design review, typically taking 3- 6 months. Similarly, entitlements for multiple family residential projects can be run concurrently, and typically takes 3-6 months to process. The City also encourages the joint processing of related applications for a single project. As an example, a rezone petition may be reviewed in conjunction with the required site plan, tentative tract map, and any

necessary variances. Such procedures save time, money, and effort for both the public and private sector.

Source: City of Cudahy Building & Planning Departments, 2023 Circulation Element
The transportation system in Cudahy consists of a roadway network dominated by Atlantic Avenue, collector streets, and local streets. The Long Beach Freeway (State Route-710) is located just east of Cudahy. Also, the City's central location in Los Angeles County provides Cudahy with easy access to most parts of the Southern California region. Local circulation within the City generally follows a grid pattern, except for Atlantic Avenue which extends in a north-south orientation at a slight angle and Salt Lake Avenue which follows the curve of the railroad tracks.

Atlantic Avenue is a regional highway that extends north to Alhambra and south to Long Beach.

Traffic volumes on most City streets are currently approaching or are at capacity.

Public transit is available through the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) and the Cudahy Area Rapid Transit (CART). The Union Pacific Electric Railroad right-of-way extends along the western edge of the City and the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way extends along the southern edge of the City. Neither railroad line provides freight service into the City.

This Circulation Element of the 2040 General Plan evaluates the existing roadway circulation system and identifies measures to accommodate existing and future traffic volumes. Other issues addressed in the Element address include public transit parking, and alternative forms of transportation. The Circulation Element complies with California Government Code Section 65302(b), which requires that the Circulation Element identify the general location and extent of existing and proposed major thoroughfares, transportation routes and other public utilities and facilities. The goals, policies, plan and programs of the Circulation Element then respond to identified traffic concerns, as well as projected traffic conditions. The Transportation Plan identifies strategies that will address future traffic.

Circulation Element; highlights the progress made in the calendar year 2023, including funding sources:

 Local Roadway Safety Plan: The city of Cudahy completed a LRSP which identified and analyzed roadway safety concerns and which resulted in recommendations for potential roadway safety improvements to reduce or eliminate safety issues identified by the plan. The LRSP enables the city to apply for grant funding through the Highway State Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). For HSIP Calls-for-Projects, an LRSP (or its equivalent such as Systemic Safety Analysis Report (SSAR) or Vision Zero Action Plan) isrequired for an agency to be eligible to apply for federal HSIP funds. The LRSP was prepared in conformance with Federal and State standards. Updates prepared in 2023 for the City's Capital Improvement Program included projects to address recommendations from the completed LRSP.
 HSIP Cycle 11: These funds were used for pedestrian and traffic safety improvements along with a citywide signal improvement project. The city of Cudahy began preparing for the project in 2022 and was awarded the grant in March 2023.  Pavement Management System (PMS): The PMS is the process of planning of maintenance and repair of a network of roadways in order to optimize pavement conditions over the entire network. The PMS is the tool that the City uses to evaluate and maintain the City’s road network in safe working condition (PCI). PMS updates occur every (3) years and is a requirement to continue to be eligible to receive Prop C monies.
 West Santa Ana Branch (WSAB) Strategic Implementation Plan: The City of Cudahy Strategic Vision Implementation Plan focuses on the effects that proposed two train stations (located within North and South City boundaries) of the West Santa Ana Branch Line, renamed to the Southeast Gateway Line, will have in the City. While the plan will focus on Cudahy, it will also build upon the recent station planning efforts by Huntington Park and South Gate. The plans will include a mobility study, stakeholder engagement plan, infrastructure analysis, market analysis, and equity study. In 2023, the city retained a consultant and continued efforts with Metro and surrounding cities.

Open Space and Conservation Element
The Open Space and Conservation Element of the 2040 General Plan addresses long-term community needs and plans for open space, parks, recreation services, and natural resource preservation. This element also includes policies for sewer, water, and storm drain facilities, which are important to maintain and update to support sustainable growth. The goals and policies reflect both technical analyses based on national standards for park space and community input gathered from resident interviews and the results of the Enabling Strategic Growth study.

The open space and conservation concepts discussed in this Element present strategies for natural resource conservation and preservation, and for increasing/improving parks and recreation opportunities in Cudahy. Although providing new parkland may not be attainable through traditional methods (parkland dedication and significant property acquisition), opportunities exist for creating smaller-scale, accessible urban recreational spaces within walking distance of each Cudahy neighborhood.

The City of Cudahy provides its residents and surrounding neighbors with a variety of recreational programs. Recreational programs, classes, and sports (and their respective locations). The recreational courses and sports programs that were available at each City Park and Facility for the year 2023 are summarized in the table below. Cudahy residents receive priority registration and pay lower fees than a non-resident. The City‘s Sports Department consists of various sports available throughout the year for boys and girls between the ages of 4-16. Participants register individually and are placed on teams organized by the Cudahy Parks and Recreation Staff. All teams are coached by volunteer coaches.

The Parks and Recreation Department is currently in partnership with the Southeast Rio Vista YMCA to oversee their youth sports programs, which include youth basketball, youth soccer, youth baseball, and tee-ball, and ball hockey. The City is also working with independent recreational contractors to provide various classes for a minimal fee. The City rents out their athletic fields to non-profits and for-profit adult sports leagues (i.e., basketball, soccer, flag football, and softball). All adult leagues are independently run by their respective organizations.

Safety Element
The Safety Element of the 2040 General Plan presents a citywide approach for preventing the creation of hazards in the planning area and for minimizing the potential for injury, damage and disruption brought by natural events. The Element establishes safety standards and programs designed to protect life and property. Public safety standards include guidelines for activities involving risk to the public, as well as measures to follow when development occurs in areas susceptible to natural or manmade risks.

As a state-mandated element, the Safety Element of the 2040 General Plan fulfills the requirements of Section 65302(g) of the California Government Code. It sets goals and policies which address public safety issues in the City. The Element also serves as a public safety plan, identifies standards and programs to promote public safety, and outlines adequate facilities and services to serve the emergency needs of the City. The Safety Element maps the location of known hazard areas and available evacuation routes, indicates peak water supply requirements, minimum road widths, clearances around structures, and provides safety and emergency procedures.

Safety Element; highlights of the progress made in the calendar year 2023:
• Cudahy continues to contract for law enforcement and fire response services with Los Angeles County agencies. As these agencies serve other, larger areas in addition to Cudahy, the local Sheriff and fire stations are not located within Cudahy. Thus, public safety facilities cannot serve as focal points for Cudahy’s civic identity. As a small city serviced by large county agencies, ensuring that Cudahy’s interests are being prioritized among those of larger cities requires ongoing engagement between the agencies and City leaders.
• Los Angeles County Sherriff response times in Cudahy are less than three minutes for emergencies, ten minutes or less for priorities, and 60 minutes for routine items. • Los Angeles County Fire Department response time for Cudahy is approximately three minutes.
• Within Cudahy, the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center offers immediate care and outpatient services. The closest hospitals are located in Huntington Park and East Los Angeles.

Noise Element
Excessive noise levels disturb and disrupt human activities and can affect the physical and psychological health of individuals. Noise conditions can depreciate the quality of the environment by affecting work, sleep, and recreation. Cudahy is a predominantly residential community. As the City grows and expands its economic base through new and modernized land

uses, keeping noise levels controlled, located away from neighborhoods, or buffered will continue to be important in ensuring a positive quality of life for Cudahy’s residents. This 2040 General Plan Element addresses noise that affects the community at large, rather than noise associated with site-specific conditions. The goals and policies in this element guide decisions concerning land use and the location of land uses, new roads, and transit facilities since these are common sources of increased noise levels. This element explores various noise reduction options and land use compatibility standards.

As mandated by the California Government Code Section 65302(f), the Noise Element follows the guidelines established by the Office of Noise Control of the State Department of Health Services.

Goals, policies, and guidelines for minimizing increases in ambient noise levels are outlined in the section that follows.

Noise Element; highlights of the progress made in the calendar year 2023:
• The City of Cudahy requires mitigation measures during entitlements and approvals subject to CEQA.
• Cudahy “CMC” Article 23: Environmental Performance Standards, ensure that residential neighborhoods and the business community in Cudahy will be free from environmental hazards such as of noise, vibration, dust, glare, and other negative influences. • Noise standards for the various categories of land uses set forth in Tables 12 and 13 shall, unless otherwise specified, apply to each property or portion of property in the community. Where two or more dissimilar land uses occur on a single property, the more restrictive noise standard shall apply. The maximum permissible sound levels and noise standards by receiving land uses are identified in Table 12 for exterior and Table 13 for interior.

• Program 15: The City continues to notice all public hearings in both English and Spanish. • Program 17: Throughout 2023, the City hosted hot meals and food distribution programs every fourth Thursday of the month.
• Program 30: The Rent Control Ad Hoc Committee recommended the City Council adopt Rent Stabilization and Tenant Protection Ordinances, which have been in effect since July 2023.

Air Quality Element
The Air Quality Element is a new Element for the City and was added to the 2040 General Plan.

Awareness and knowledge of the effects of human activities on the environment have grown significantly since the 1960s. In the early 2000s, concerns about climate change arose as a new focus. As such, finding ways to embrace sustainable practices has become a priority for Cudahy and many other California cities. Chief among environmental concerns is the impact of human actions and choices on the atmosphere and climate. With the emergence of the industrial age,

human activity began to release increasing amounts of pollutants, carbon dioxide, and other harmful gases into the atmosphere, largely through the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation.

The elevated levels of harmful gases and pollutants create two key concerns -- compromised local air quality and a global “greenhouse” effect that resulted in warming the Earth’s atmosphere.

The unhealthful conditions associated with air pollutants have been known for decades.

Beginning in the 1970s, legislation such as the federal Clean Air Act was enacted to improve air quality and, thus, reduce impacts on human health associated with high pollutant levels. Global warming, however, did not really enter the public consciousness until the United Nations (U.N.) Framework Convention on Climate Change adopted the Kyoto Protocol in 1997. This 1997 U.N.

Convention highlighted the serious threats to public safety associated with global warming, including sea level rise, associated flooding, and significant effects on agricultural practices and production.

This Element addresses local and regional air quality, stationary and mobile emission sources in the community, and identifies programs that will be effective in reducing pollutant emissions generated within the City.

Air Quality Element; highlights of the progress made in the calendar year 2023:
• The City of Cudahy requires mitigation measures during entitlements and approvals subject to CEQA.
• The City of Cudahy continues to be subject to regulations from various agencies. The primary agencies include the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air Resources Board (CARB), and the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD).
• The City of Cudahy uses SCAQMD-recommended thresholds in its local review of development projects over which the City has jurisdiction. A development that results in either construction-related emissions or operational emissions that exceed specified daily emissions thresholds are considered to have a significant and adverse environmental impact. The applicable emissions thresholds for both construction-related and operational emissions are summarized in Table 14.

The Economic Development Element is a new Element for the City and was added to the 2040 General Plan. A community’s economic viability relies on interdependent factors: providing an appropriate mix of land uses that support the desired economy, balancing the goods and services provided to fulfill the needs of local households and businesses, and attracting and retaining businesses. With nearly a third of Cudahy households living below the poverty line, spurring economic development is a vital piece of the 2040 General Plan. The City of Cudahy recognizes that land use and other policies must maintain and encourage a diverse and entrepreneurial economy to ensure that residents and businesses thrive. This Economic Development Element establishes policies to retain local business, attract new industries, sustain education and job training for the current and future workforce, promote affordable housing, support the tax base, and sustain Cudahy’s ability to provide public services.

Economic Development Element: highlights of the progress made in the calendar year 2023:
• The City adopted the Economic Development Strategic Plan. • The City continued to adjust procedures. This included updates on the City’s website of City services, contact information for housing assistance, un-employment, and business funding programs.

Environmental Justice and Sustainability
The General Plan takes a holistic approach to environmental justice and sustainability.

Environmental justice and sustainability policies are integrated into every Element in the 2040 Cudahy General Plan.

In California, the goal of environmental justice as part of a jurisdiction’s general plan is to reduce the unique or compounded health risks in disadvantaged communities, promote community engagement in the public decision-making process, and prioritize improvements and programs to address the needs of disadvantaged communities (Government Code §65302). Disadvantaged communities are defined as communities that are disproportionately burdened by multiple sources of pollution and with population characteristics that make them more sensitive to pollution. All of Cudahy is considered by the State of California to be a disadvantaged community.

Cudahy 2040 policies and programs supporting the environmental justice goal through reducing pollution exposure; promoting public facilities, food access, safe and sanitary homes, physical activity, and adaptation to climate change; and promoting civil engagement are marked with a blue clean air symbol
Sustainability is achieved through careful planning to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The General Plan’s sustainability symbol, a green circular leaf, indicates the goals, policies, and/or programs that includes specific attention to best practices from the perspective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, conserving natural resources, or promoting a healthier lifestyle. Sustainability, through conservation and the development of innovative land use and transportation policies, is a cornerstone of the General Plan.

8.0 Goals, Priorities, and Objectives
The City of Cudahy aims to implement the priorities and objectives outlined in the 2040 General Plan throughout various activities and functions of local government. Many of the goals outlined for the future of the City are to be reviewed annually to direct the staff work effort for the upcoming calendar year. In this way, the implementation of the General Plan is an ongoing endeavor.

For a complete implementation update of the Cudahy General Plan, please reference the 2023 General Plan Implementation Status Update Table which is attached as Appendix C.

9.0 Conclusion
The Cudahy 2040 General Plan serves as an effective guide for orderly growth and development, preservation and conservation of open space land and natural resources, and efficient expenditure of public funds.

When new development is proposed on City land, the City will also continue to provide land write-downs where possible to assist in the cleanup of contaminated sites. The City has recently done this for a Successor Agency owned site on the corner of Atlantic Boulevard and Patata Street. This Program will implement the General Plan’s Program 35 (Sensitive Receptor Siting
Protection), which was adopted in March 2018.

Rent Control Ad Hoc
Committee
The Rent Control Ad Hoc Committee
studied instituting a rent stabilization
ordinance, rental registry, rent control
board, just cause evictions and antiharassment ordinance, and displacement/relocation protections for
renters in the City of Cudahy.
2023
The City of Cudahy had a rent increase moratorium on multifamily housing what was in place through July 10, 2023. The moratorium was put in place to give the City Council’s Rent Control Ad Hoc Committee time to study and evaluate possible rent control and tenant protection programs, and the need to extend the moratorium. As of July 2023, a Rent Stabilization Ordinance and Tenant Protection Ordinance has been in effect.

First Time Homebuyers
The City will identify and implement
strategies to increase Cudahy renters’
access to homeownership
opportunities in the City.

Annually
The City shall continue to partner with nonprofits that administer first time homebuyer funding and training sessions. As inclusionary housing in-lieu fees are collected and begin to generate significant income, the City will examine using these in-lieu fees to support homeownership through down payment assistance or development of covenanted affordable homeownership projects.

Economic Development
Strategic Plan and TransitOriented Development
The City will initiate preparation of an
Economic Development Strategic Plan
by the end of 2023.
2023/2025
The Economic Development Strategic Plan was adopted on September 5, 2023.

Adoption of the Economic Development Strategic Plan will clearly communicate to investors and developers that the City is proactively facilitating Cudahy’s evolution from a bedroom community to a fullservice community with dedicated Community Development Department resources.

Surplus Land Act
Compliance
During the 6th Cycle period, the City
will adjudicate the disposition of
publicly-owned parcels in the Sites
Inventory in a manner consistent with
the Surplus Land Act.
2024 to choose developer
2026 to entitle project
The City will cooperate with the County to adjudicate the disposition of the City-owned and County-owned parcels on the southeastern corner of Santa Ana Street and Atlantic Avenue in the Sites Inventory in a manner consistent with the Surplus Land Act to develop 22 lower income units in addition to above moderate income units. The development of lower income units along Atlantic Avenue will connect lower income residents to the City’s commercial job center along with plentiful commercial amenities.

Promote Lot
Consolidation of Site 25
Site 25 of the Sites Inventory consists
of seven publicly owned parcels, four of
which are owned by the City of Cudahy
and three of which are owned by Los
Angeles County. The City will
adjudicate the disposition of Site 25 in a
manner consistent with the Surplus
Land Act.

Monthly for 2023-2024
The City will meet with County leadership until the County and City reach an agreement to dispose of Site 25, with plans to develop at least 88 housing units on site, of which 22 will be lower-income units. Should this amount of housing prove not to be feasible, the City shall identify an alternative publicly-owned site to develop the units within six months.

Open Space Development
The City shall make commitments to
develop new open spaces within the
City, specifically targeting areas of high
need and high park need.
2026/2029
Through Program 35 (Open Space Development), during the sixth cycle the City will encourage new developments within the Entertainment Zone to provide public open space for the benefit of Cudahy’s residents. The City shall also develop two new open spaces in Cudahy in the area of highest need within the sixth cycle by the end of the sixth cycle. The City shall also create cul-desacs at Olive and Elizabeth Streets at their intersections with Salt Lake Avenue to eliminate use of these residential streets as shortcuts to bypass arterials by the end of 2026. These goals are not yet complete and are in process.

From: Alfonso Noyola, City Manager
Prepared By: Cecilia Madrigal-Gonzalez, Senior Planner

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to take the following action(s):

2. Receive and file this report.

BACKGROUND
The City of Cudahy (“City”) has launched the Rental Assistance program (“Program”) to aid Cudahy residents who rent within the City and require financial rental assistance due to financial hardship. The Program offers eligible, low-income households six (6) months of rental assistance.

The Program is made possible by Permanent Local Housing Allocation (“PLHA”) funds from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”). PLHA Program monies are first allocated to the Los Angeles County Development Authority (“LACDA”), who then distributes the funding to participating cities. For Year 2 of PLHA funds, the City was awarded approximately $345,200 in PLHA funds. Of these funds, the City approved $150,000 for this Program.

DISCUSSION
As stated above, PLHA programs fundings are derived from State funds and require the City to administer the Program in compliance with State requirements. As such, City staff in Item Number
14B

conjunction with LACDA staff have adopted program guidelines and an application (Attachments A and B). The program guidelines eligibility, annual income, grant awarding and are summarized below and additional information can be found in the program guidelines. • Program Eligibility: Applicants must meet and provide proof of all requirements to be eligible for the Program as follows:
o Applicant must reside within City.
o Household does not receive any other forms of rental subsidies (e.g. Section 8). o Applicant must be a renter and the unit must be the Applicant’s primary place of residence.

• Annual Income: Annual income is defined as the total gross amount of income received from all sources by adult individuals of the household who have earned or received income during a 12-month period. The Table below shows the 2023/24 maximum total household income limits:
• Grant Awarding Process: Upon verification of all eligibility and collection of supporting documents, the City staff will confirm the eligibility status with the Applicant. Payments are made directly to the landlord and NOT the tenant/resident.

Once City staff determines an Applicant's eligibility, the Applicant is then put on the eligibility list on a first-come-first-serve basis.
