SUBJECT
FY 2022 STATE HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM AND BUDGET ADJUSTMENT

DEPARTMENT
Police and Fire Departments

RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023-25, authorizing the Escondido Fire Department to accept FY 2022 State Homeland Security Grant funds in the amount of $103,872 ; authorizing the Fire Chief or his designee to execute grant do cuments on behalf of the City; and approving budget adjustments needed to spend grant funds. The County of San Diego Office of Emergency Services has authorized the City of Escondido to spend its funds on equipment to support regional public safety projects. The Fire Department will receive $60,273 and the Police Department will receive $43,599 from this award.

Staff Recommendation: Approval (Fire Department: Rick Vogt, Fire Chief) Presenter: John Tenger, Deputy Fire Chief; Ed Varso, Chief of Police

FISCAL ANALYSIS
There will be no impact on the General Fund Budget. The State Homeland Security Grant Program is federally funded. There is no match requirement.

PREVIOUS ACTION
On September 14, 2022, the City Council authorized the Police and Fire Depar tments to accept a 2021 State Homeland Security Program Grant award in the amount of $114,919. The City of Escondido began participating in the State Homeland Security Grant Program in 2003. As a result of this program, the City of Escondido has received valuable safety equipment and preparedness funding.

BACKGROUND
The implementation of the State Homeland Security Management Grant program is to support state, local, tribal and territorial efforts to prevent terrorism and other catastrophic events.

The Escondido Police and Fire Departments applied for FY 2022 State Homeland Security Grant Program funds in January 2022. The departments received notification in February 2023 that application was 31 Item6.

approved for $103,872 in funding. The County of San Diego Office of Emergency Services authorized the City of Escondido to utilize funding on equipment to support regional public safety projects. The funding amount received is based on a formula that considers the jurisdiction’s population and number of first responder personnel. Funds may be used to purchase the following approved items:
 $7,343 – Fire Department – Equipment / Thermal Imaging Cameras o Grant funds may be used to cover the cost of two thermal imaging cameras. A thermal imaging camera (TIC) is a device that renders heat and infrared radiation as visible light and allows firefighters to see heat through smoke, darkness and even walls. The devices can quickly identify the location of fire victims in smoke filled rooms. In addition, fire that is hidden inside walls and ceilings can be quickly pinpointed so that firefighters can locate and contain it with minimal damage. The new cameras will replace older outdated cameras currently in use and approaching the end of their useful life.  $52,930 – Fire Department – Planning
o Grant funds may be used to cover the cost to develop a Recovery Plan and a Local Assistance Center (LAC) Plan. Having a recovery plan and a LAC plan provides a frame work to help residents, businesses, and city government to recover more qui ckly for a disaster or human-made incident. These plans promote faster recovery from an incident and makes the community more resilient and resistance to future terrorism.  $43,599 – Police Department – Equipment / Patrol Laptops o Grant funds may be used to cover the cost of computer laptops to be issued to Police Department personnel and can be used in patrol cars. The laptops are utilized for officers to quickly gather information related to calls for service, have access to necessary reports, and allow for them to efficiently complete documents needed for patrol activities. The new computer laptops will replace outdated laptops, or possibly be issued to personnel who currently need laptops.

ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE GENERAL PLAN – (PL23-0027)

DEPARTMENT
Development Services – Planning Division

RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council review and receive the General Plan Annual Progress Report (“APR”), documenting the City of Escondido's ("City") progress on implementing the General Plan—including the Housing Element Annual Prog ress Report and Climate Action Plan Annual Monitoring Report —and authorize submittal of the report to the State Office of Planning and Research ("OPR"), the State Department of Housing and Community Development ("HCD"), and the San Diego Association of Governments ("SANDAG").

Staff Recommendation: Authorize (Development Services: Andrew Firestine, Director of Development Services)
Presenter: Veronica Morones, Principal Planner

FISCAL ANALYSIS
There are no direct fiscal implications associated with this progress report.

PREVIOUS ACTION
None.

BACKGROUND
The City Council adopted a comprehensive update to the General Plan, as well as the 5th cycle Housing Element for the 2013-2020 reporting cycle and the Escondido Climate Action Plan (“CAP”), on December 12, 2012. Subsequently, the City Council adopted the 6th cycle Housing Element for the 2021 -2029 reporting cycle on August 11, 2021 , and a comprehensive CAP update on March 10, 2021 . The General Plan details the community's goals, objectives, policies, and implementation measures (i.e., ways to achieve the goals and objectives). As an informational document, the General Plan describes existing conditions, makes projections, and establishes a vision for the community's future. As a policy document, the General Plan establishes a policy framework for decision -makers. Using this framework, the City Council and Planning Commission take incremental steps toward achieving the larger goals of the City. 35 Item7.

Government Code section 65400 and 65700 mandate that cities and counties submit annual reports on the status of their General Plan and progress in its implementation , including a detailed report on the City’s Housing Element, by April 1st of each year. This annual report is the 2022 General Plan APR, which contains reporting on the General Plan, as well as the 2022 Housing Element APR (Appendix D of Attachment 1), and the annual monitoring report for the City’s CAP.

The General Plan APR contains information not required within the Housing Element APR, such as updated information on the other General Plan chapters (i.e., land use, community protection, resource conservation, etc.). Pursuant to State law, there is no form requirement for the General Plan APR, so each jurisdiction may provide relevant information at their discretion. The General Plan APR also contains the Housing Element APR under Appendix D, which includes information such as the progress in meeting the jurisdiction’s share of regional housing needs determined pursuant to Government Code section 65584 and local efforts to remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing pursuant to Government Code section 65583(c)(3). The Housing Element APR is required to be completed on prescribed forms by HCD pursuant to Government Code section 65400.

The City’s updated CAP outlines a requirement to provide annual monitoring on the implemen tation of CAP measures (i.e., a local requirement, not State mandate). The Climate Action Plan Annual Monitoring Report (Appendix E of Attachment 1) provides an annual review of the CAP to assess the level of implementation and effectiveness of the CAP measures adopted. Implementation of measures identified in the CAP would meet the City’s GHG reduction targets based on the analysis presented within the CAP.

Therefore, it is necessary to provide annual monitoring to ensure the City is on target to meet the specific GHG reduction goals for the specified 2030 and 2035 years. Implementation of the CAP is achieved through two primary efforts: environmental review for new developments and City -led implementation activities.

This staff report documents the annual review of the 2012 General Plan for the 202 2 calendar year. The annual progress report provides information for City Council to assess how the Escondido General Plan was implemented during the previous twelve (12) month reporting period. The annual progres s report could help identify necessary "course adjustments" or modifications to the General Plan and means to improve local implementation , including to set implementation milestones for the forthcoming CAP reporting year. Once City Council has received and filed the progress report, the City will submit a copy to the Office of Planning and Research (“OPR”) , the Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”), and the San Diego Association of Government (“SANDAG”) as required by State law. The progress report gives state agencies the opportunity to identify statewide trends in land use decision -making and how local planning and development activities relating to statewide planning goals and policies.

3 | City of Escondido General Plan Annual Progress Report - 2022

1. Introduction
This report has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Government Code section 65400 ( Appendix A ). A report on the Housing Element was prepared and submitted to the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (“OPR”), California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”), and the San Diego Association of Governments ( “SANDAG”) on April 1, 2023. The General Plan Annual Progress Report , including the Housing Element Annual Progress Report (Appendix D), was received by the City Council on March 22, 2023. Guidance for preparation of the report is provided by OPR.

The report discusses what the City implemented during the 12- month reporting period of 2022 and provides a means to determine if changes are needed in the plan or its implementation programs.

1.1 Purpose of the General Plan
The General Plan is mandated by California Government Code section 65300, which requires each city and county to adopt a comprehensive plan for the physical development of the jurisdiction.

It addresses land use, transportation routes, population growth, open space, resource preservation and utilization, air and water quality, noise, safety issues, and other related physical, social and economic development factors. Through the identification of goals, objectives, and policies, a General Plan creates a strategy framework for implementation. In addition to serving as a basis for local decision-making, the General Plan establishes a clear set of development rules for citizens, developers, decision- makers, neighboring cities and counties, and provides the community with an opportunity to participate in the planning and decision- making process.

1.2 Required Elements
State law requires that general plans include seven basic elements, which must cover the following topics: Land Use, Circulation, Housing, Safety, Noise, Conservation, and Open Space. In addition to the seven required elements, two additional elements may be required under certain circumstances, creating a potential nine total mandated general plan elements.
• Environmental Justice: Senate Bill (“SB”) 1000, Statutes of 2016, added to the required elements of the general plan an environmental justice element, or related goals, policies, and objectives integrated in other elements, if the city, county, or city and county has a disadvantaged community or meets certain criteria as designated by the law. This requirement applies to the City of Escondido.
• Air Quality: Government Code section 65302.1(c) requires adoption of an air quality element for cities and counties located within the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District. This requirement does not apply to the City of Escondido.

Mandatory or voluntary elements may be combined or renamed, but basic requirements must be included. The City of Escondido General Plan has ten chapters. The relationship between the seven elements and the chapters provided in the City of Escondido General Plan is described in more detail in Appendix B
.

State law does not provide a mandatory minimum timeframe for revisions of elements, except for a Housing Element and Safety Element. State requirements for Housing Elements are more detailed and specific tha n for the other portions of a General Plan, and are updated every eight years according to a schedule set by the Attachment "1"
39 Item7.
4 | City of Escondido General Plan Annual Progress Report - 2022

State. State law also dictates that upon the next revision of the housing element, a jurisdiction must update their Safety Element as necessary to comply with timely mandatory requirements. Other elements may be updated less frequently and typically have a 10- to 20-year horizon.

1.3 General Plan Update Work Program
Escondido’s General Plan was comprehensively updated in 2012.

The adopted General Plan continues to serve as a relevant and useful document to guide the use of public and private lands within the community.

The CA Supreme Court has stated that local governments have an implied duty to keep their plans current (DeVita v. County of Napa, 9 cal. 4
th 763 (1995)), so there is a need to systematically look ahead and plan on how the City will keep the General Plan document up to date. It will need to adequately address and respond to emerging land use activities, use of space, multi -modal trends, regulations, and other matters that affect the City’s desirability to live, work, and play. Most of the general plan elements typically have a 15 to 20- year horizon, excepting the Housing Element. This means the next comprehensive update would occur between 2027 and 2032. State law requires General Plans to maintain consistency across elements and with implementing actions, such as zoning ordinances.

Therefore, absent any direction to prepare a comprehensive update, the following schedule proposes when the next suggested updates would occur to each independent element , ensuring continuous improvement to the City's land use and regulatory framework. The timing of certain elements may change; otherwise, certain elements have been grouped together or sequenced in a logical manner to ensure that the City’s policy framework is updated in a timely manner to continue to guide growth and development in a beneficial direction, while satisfying all state mandates.

No adopted updates to the General Plan occurred in 2022.

However, the below pending work efforts will result in future amendments to the General Plan. During 2022, ongoing efforts to update the City’s Mobility and Infrastructure, Community Protection, Community Health and Services, and Housing chapters progressed forward.

Mobility and Infrastructure
This update would update the roadway classifications of the City’s Mobility and Infrastructure portion of the General Plan and ensure alignment with the Regional Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities Strategy. It would also include a Comprehensive Active Transportation Strategy (CATS).

Community Protection and Community Health and Services
The update to both of these chapters is called the
2022 General
Plan Amendment (“2022 GPA”) work effort, and began in response to the 6th cycle Housing Element update. State law requires certain information be included in General Plan elements at the time a jurisdiction next revises a Housing Element. Specifically, Government Code section 65302(g) requires all cities and counties to amend the safety element of their General Plan to include analysis and policies regarding hazard information upon the next revision of the Housing Element, which covers the 2021- 2029 planning period. For this reason, the 2022 GPA is ongoing with a goal of completion in 2023.

The Community Protection update is not a comprehensive update and will only address the requirements outlined under Government Code section 65302(g). The Community Health and Services chapter will be updated and retooled to act as the City’s Environmental Justice element for the purposes of satisfying Government Code section 65302(h).

Housing
The City initiated the
Housing and Community Investment Study
(“HCIS”) in 2020 to update the City’s Housing Element for the 2021- 2029 planning period. On August 11, 2021, the City adopted the 2021-2029 Housing Element for the 6th cycle. However, the adopted document had outstanding issues identified by HCD and has not yet achieved compliance for the purposes of the 6th cycle.

The City continues to make progress toward full certification of the housing element.

The Housing Element will require the rezoning effort known as the East Valley Specific Plan ( “EVSP”), which will require an amendment to the Land Use and Community Form chapter of the General Plan at the time of approval (expected Summer 2023) to ensure land use consistency.

2. Progress Toward Implementation
Generally, all of the existing parcels of land that have been developed have been purposed with land uses consistent with the General Plan. Residential land use currently accounts for approximately 70.8 percent of all land area in the City, more than any other land use. Commercial, office, and industrial uses account for approximately 5.7 percent of total land area in the City. Public lands and open spaces account for 15.1 percent of the total land area in the City. Most of the streets and highways described in the General Plan are developed to their planned capacity or have capacity to be fully implemented in time. The entire infrastructure needed to serve the planned land uses is in place with sufficient capacity to accommodate the planned land uses and population, except for localized drainage and/or outfall -related issues. The following sections outline key implementation actions of the General Plan that occurred in 2022 by chapter.

2.6 Resource Conservation
Escondido’s Resource Conservation Element satisfies state requirements for the Open Space and Conservation Elements as stated in the Government Code. Community Goals and Objectives call for creating an aesthetically pleasing environment, as well as conserving Escondido’s natural and scenic resources. The Element’s purpose is to identify areas for conserving open space as well as other important resources including air and water quality, cultural, agricultural, mineral and energy resources, as well as protecting hillside and r idgeline view corridors with particular emphasis on ridgelines, unique landforms and visual gateways. Topics or issue areas covered in the Resource Conservation Element include the following:
• Biological and Open Space
• Trails
• Visual Resources
• Agricultural Resources
• Historical Resources
• Water Resources and Quality
• Air Quality and Climate Protection
Key Implementation Actions
Climate Action Plan: The City’s adopted Climate Action Plan (“CAP”) is one of the most robust and well received CAPs across San Diego County. The CAP provides a comprehensive roadmap to address the challenges of climate change in the City of Escondido.

As part of this annual report, Appendix E
includes the City’s CAP
annual monitoring report.

MS4 Update: The City maintains the legal authority to enforce the provisions of the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (“MS4”) Permit. The MS4 Permit is required for discharges from such a system under the Clean Water Act. In FY 2021-22, several updates in accordance with state and federal law were made to Escondido Municipal Code Chapter 22- Wastewaters, Stormwaters, and Related Matters.

Kit Carson Park Activities: Maintenance and monitoring of seven- acres of wetland habitat restoration projects in Kit Carson Park surrounding Eagle Scout Lake continued during 2022. The City also completed the Kit Carson Creek Restoration Vision Plan, which includes condition assessment and proposed infrastructure improvements throughout Kit Carson Park to maintain water quality and provide for more efficient sediment controls in Eagle Scout Lake and its upstream tributary.

Spruce Street Channel Project: Plant establishment and erosion control measures will continue to be monitored for two years post - installation, per requirements of wetland permits. The project is expected to be completed in 2023, which would constitute meeting the Escondido Creek Hydrologic Area (HA) WQIP final goal nearly ten years ahead of schedule.

Membrane Filtration Reverse Osmosis (“MFRO”) &
Intermediate Booster Pump Station (“IBPS”): The MFRO Facility will treat a port ion of the City’s existing recycled water supply produced at the Hale Avenue Resource Recovery Facility
(“HARRF”) using Membrane Filtration (“MF”) and Reverse Osmosis (“RO”) technologies. The Project includes three major components:
an MFRO facility and associated equipment, a one- mile product water pipeline recently installed in Washington Avenue from the MFRO location to Waverly Place; and the IBPS located at Mountain View Park. This project is currently under construction.

22 | City of Escondido General Plan Annual Progress Report - 2022 Trunk Sewer Replacement Project: The project is currently under construction and will generally replace, upsize and realign approximately 5,000 linear feet of existing 24-inch, 27-inch and 39- inch diameter trunk sewer main via open trench construction with 30-inch and 36- inch diameter t runk sewer main; construct approximately 200 linear feet of 48-inch diameter casing with a 36- inch diameter sewer carrier pipe via trenchless construction; construct approximately 1,200 linear feet of 8 -inch diameter sewer main; and construct approximately 100 linear feet of 24 -inch diameter sewer main.

San Pasqual Undergrounding Project: In 1969, five local Native American Bands, and the United States on their behalf, sued the City and the District, claiming that the City’s and the District’s diversion of San Luis Rey River flows deprived the Bands of adequate water on their reservations located downstream of the Diversion Dam. After nearly five decades of litigation and negotiations, five local Native American Bands, and the United States on their behalf, the City, and the Vista Irrigation District approved the San Luis Rey Indian Water Rights Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Agreement stipulates that portions of the Escondido Canal that cross the San Pasqual Indian Reservation must be replaced with an underground pipeline. The Project will remove, relocate, and replace approximately 2.5 miles of the Escondido Canal that crosses the San Pasqual Indian Reservation and is currently under construction.

Anticipated Implementation Actions
• Prepare a Master Plan or design standards that identify gateways and visual quality standards.
• Continue to implement CAP measures (Appendix E).
• Continue timely annual reporting on the Daley Ranch
Conservation Bank.
• Adopt an update to the City’s Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance.

2.7 Growth Management
The purpose of the Growth Management Element is to establish policies for balancing the timing of infrastructure improvements with current and anticipated demands for service through the adoption of specific implementation techniques. A goal of growth management is to phase capital facility improvements concurrent with population growth so that new development does not compound existing service shortfalls or result in critical infrastructure deficiencies. Effective growth management also establishes parameters for periodically monitoring the impacts that growth has on the community and defines the methods by which impacts are addressed, allowing decision makers to efficiently prioritize capital improvements. Topics or issue areas covered in the Growth Management Element include the following:
• Quality of Life Thresholds
• P ublic Facility Master Plans
• Public Facility Deficiencies
• P ublic Facility Financing
• Growth Management Monitoring
• Public Facility Phasing
The City continues to work toward implementing and achieving adopted quality of life standards. The City’s General Plan includes 11 quality of life standards, as listed below.

1. Traffic and Transportation 7. Public Schools

2. Fire Service 8. Police Service

3. Wastewater System 9. Parks System

4. Library Service 10. Open Space System

5. Air Quality 11. Water System

6. Economic Prosperity
These standards are what development (public and private) are reviewed against when assessing a project’s potential impact on the community. Part of the City’s quality of life standards include the goal of maintaining and providing adequate public facilities for existing and future development.

The City potentially faces an $8 million budget gap. To maintain the essential services the City provides and address the community’s priorities, a locally controlled source of revenue was placed on the 2022 ballot but did not obtain the required votes for approval .

Without an identified revenue source, possible cuts to services may be made if no additional revenue is generated.

The City established a Citywide Services Community Facilities District (“CFD”) to make new development revenue neutral such that existing residents do not subsidize new development . New development has the option to annex into the City’s CFD or establish their own financing mechanism in order to offset service costs. In 2022, the City received the first requests to appeal the City’s standard CFD condition of approval, stating the CFD requirement could be waived as a part of the density bonus framework under State Law. The City Council granted the two appeals by the project proponents.

In 2019, the State enacted SB 330, which prohibits certain local functions related to growth management. Specifically, jurisdictions throughout California can no longer limit housing construction through caps or moratoriums, demolish more dwelling units than are constructed, or reduce overall density throughout their jurisdiction.

SB 330 also postpones requirements for voter approval of zoning and general plan changes.

The City has two growth management controls: Ordinance 94-16 -- which established the Citywide Facilities Management Plan which Attachment "1"
60 Item7.
25 | City of Escondido General Plan Annual Progress Report - 2022 provides for ways for projects to contribute their fair share of development costs to public facility needs, and Proposition S -- a voter-approved initiative that requires voter approval to increase residential densities, changing or increasing residential land use categories, or changing certain residential designations to a commercial or industrial designation. However, a rezone from a non- residential zone to a residential zone does not trigger Proposition S.

Therefore, Proposition S does not act as a cap on the number of housing units constructed or permits that can be approved either annually or for some other time period. It also does not limit the population of the City.

3. Public Outreach and Engagement
Environmental Programs partners with neighboring water districts to coordinate outreach and educational efforts for customers to implement water conservation measures offered by the San Diego County Water Authority and Metropolitan Water District.

The City’s Landscape Workshops provide information about California-friendly plants and landscape designs which reduce water use and pesticide/fertilizer application. In FY 2021- 22, the City, in partnership with the San Diego County Water Authority, hosted a virtual workshop attended by 18 total participants. Participants developed a sustainable landscape plan specific to their property that implemented what they learned throughout the course and focused on retaining stormwater onsite.

The Recycling Division implements a number of programs to support educational efforts for stormwater pollution prevention, including household hazardous waste and used oil recycling events, compost workshops, and volunteer litter cleanups. The Division’s outreach efforts continued to be impacted by COVID -19, and the staff implemented online-based and print outreach materials. In FY 2021-22, the Division continued efforts to reach as many local residents as was feasible. The City sponsored electronic and household hazardous waste disposal events twice a month, reaching approximately 200 people each month. One e-waste/shred event was held where 270 cars properly disposed of recyclable or hazardous material. Two Compost Workshops were held, and two lake cleanup events were organized in 2022.

The Utilities Department provided 120 presentations to approximately 3,030 elementary school students throughout Escondido. In addition to the well -established education program, the Education Assistant continued to partner with Nature Collective (formerly San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy) and the Escondido Union School District to educate 5th graders in Escondido on environmental stewardship and water quality topics.

The Housing and Neighborhood Services Division began its outreach process for the development of the $2.26M HOME -ARP Allocation Plan. The Plan will be finalized in 2023 and an RFP will be published for the construction of affordable rental housing for extremely low-income households pending City Council’s approval.

The City will explore other funding sources from various programs to increase the total number of units built. City staff conducted outreach to developers for affordable housing opportunities.

One fair housing workshop was conducted in- person at the Live Well Center in February 2022. Legal Aid offer s regular fair housing trainings in both English and Spanish for Escondido residents to attend. Additional fair housing workshops were facilitated online on 3/25/2022, 5/17/2022, 6/24/2022 and 7/27/2022 and Escondido had a total of five residents attend.

The Planning Division conducted an initial phase of outreach f or the 2022 GPA work effort that involved City staff attending various community meetings, events, and hosting project meetings throughout the City to determine community interests and priorities regarding environmental justice issues. In the initial phase of outreach, staff interacted with over 252 community members.

Economic Development continued to communicate with all of the property owners on the north and south sides of Grand Avenue from Maple Street to Broadway to gather feedback and provide an update on the Grand Avenue Vision Project Phase 2.

5. Escondido General Plan Compliance with Adopted OPR Guidelines The Governor's Office of Planning and Research ( “OPR”) is responsible for updating the resources for drafting and amending a general plan. OPR also monitors general plan implementation with annual progress reports from cities and counties, and grants general plan extensions for qualified cities and counties. OPR adopted General Plan Guidelines ( “GPG”) in 2003 for use by local jurisdictions in the preparation of their general plans. The last comprehensive update to the OPR GPG was in 2017, with recent guidance released on Environmental Justice and Fire Hazard Planning in 2021 and 2022, respectively. It is important to note that the Guidelines are permissive, not mandatory.

Staff has prepared an analysis of the Escondido General Plan compared to the general criteria included in State law, along with an evaluation of the degree to which the Escondido General Plan complies with the OPR Guidelines. The GPG contain ten chapters and four appendices of requirements and references in the following basic areas:

1. Introduction: Broad overview of what a General Plan is, along with guidance on how to use the GPG. The General Plan
satisfies such requirements.

2. General Plan Basics: The General Plan generally complies with the basic requirements in that it is comprehensive, internall y consistent, and has a long-term perspective.

3. Community Engagement and Outreach: The preparation, adoption, and administration of the General Plan all include public participation, to the extent required by the General Plan Guidelines, CEQA, and the Government Code.

4. Required Elements: The General Plan contains all of the required elements (Appendix B).

5. Equitable and Resilient Communities: The General Plan complies with equitable and resilient community requirements.

General Plan policies and programs generally discuss inclusive public participation, social and economic well -being, livable communities and quality of life, and responsible resource conservation. Further, the City’s Climate Action Plan and forthcoming Environmental Justice chapter provide focus on social and environmental equity in communities historically marginalized by past planning practice, with goals and
objectives to ensure resiliency and strive to reduce
displacement.

6. Healthy Communities: The Community Protection chapter of the General Plan along with the Community Health and Services chapter meet the intent of healthy communities.

7. Economic Development and the General Plan: The General Plan includes optional elements that are either individual sections or are consolidated with other elements, including an element on Economic Prosperity.

8. Climate Change: The City’s adopted Climate Action Plan was recently updated in 2021 and provides for adaptation and resiliency programs that aim to reduce GHG emissions while also providing for development in the face of climate change.

9. Implementation: To date, the implementation of the General Plan has complied with all applicable Guideline requirements, including consistency with zoning, subdivisions, redevelopment, building code administration, financing mechanisms, and the preparation of this Annual Progress Report.

10. CEQA: The General Plan preparation, adoption, and
amendments comply with all requirements of CEQA.

As of March 2023, the City has implemented measures in the following reduction strategy categories, as shown in bold below. In other words, the City is in process on at least one of the implementing measures related to the reduction strategies bolded below.

1. Increase Use of Zero-E mission or Alternative Fuel
Vehicles

2. Reduce Fossil Fuel Use

3. Reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT)

4. Increase Building Energy Efficiency

5. Increase Renewable and Zero Carbon Energy

6. Increase Water Efficiency

7. Diversify Local Water Supply

8. Reduce and Recycle Solid Waste

9. Carbon Sequestration

10. Become A “Climate Smart” Leader

11. Build Thriving and Resilient Neighborhoods
In addition to the 11 reduction strategies identified within the CAP, there are an additional four overarching implementation measures:
a. Establish a Climate Commission
b. Hire a full-time sustainability or climate coordinator c. Receive updated GHG inventory from SANDAG every two
years (if no inventory is available, then the City is to develop an updated emissions inventory)
d. Evaluate the effectiveness of the CAP measures through the 2021-2025 annual monitoring reports and identify new
technologies and methodologies that did not exist at the time of the CAP adoption
Within each implementation measure are numerous performance metrics and/or adaptation actions. These performance metrics and adaptation actions predominantly consist of items not yet implemented, as their timeframes are several years out. However, of the items anticipated for action in 2020 -2022 (i.e., those actions scheduled to have begun or be completed by this date), 9 out of 25 are underway or complete, with 16 not yet implemented, compared to 7 out of 17 underway or complete, with 10 not yet implemented in 2021. No new actions were completed in 2022— all items shown in green were completed in the 2020 and 2021 calendar years.

Based on the 2022 annual report of the City’s CAP, capacity and funding issues continue to cause implementation challenges. One of the largest hurdles in implementation is the updates and creation of new zoning ordinances, which are time intensive. Lack of funding for implementation continues to put the City further behind in effective implementation. For example, the loss of the CalFire Urban Forestry funding source impeded the City’s ability to move forward with measure C-9.2. While other one-time funding sources exist for such actions, staff will need to continue to research such mechanisms, whereas the CalFire grant opportunity is a well-known funding source for such actions.

DEPARTMENT
Development Services Department, Planning Division

RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023-30, making application to the San Diego County Local Agency Formation Commission (“LAFCO”) for an out -of-agency service agreement and authorizing the Mayor to execute said agreement , and establishing a pre -zoning designation of RE -20, for a property located at 2334 Felicita Avenue (APN 238-320-12-00).

Staff Recommendation: Approval (D evelopment Services Department: Andrew Firestine, Director of Development Services)
Presenter: Ivan Flores, Associate Planner

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The property owner will be required to pay fees to cover all administrative costs and staff time for processing the extension of sewer service. All fees associate d with submittal of any contractual wastewater service agreement and future annexation application for the property to LAFCO would be borne by the applicant. Upon future annexation, the property would be required to establish a mechanism to offset future costs for the provisions of public service.

ENVIROMENTAL REVIEW
The action before the City Council is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15319(a), “Annexation of Existing Facili ties and Lots for Exempt Facilities.”

PREVIOUS ACTION
None.

96 Item8.

BACKGROUND
The property owner s of 2334 Felicita Avenue (Donald and Cara Bryant) ha ve provided City staff with a letter from the County of San Diego, Department of Environmental Health documenting eminent failure of the property’s existing onsite wastewater treatment system (septic system). City of Escondido public sewer mains with adequate capacity to accommodate the additional flow generated by the property exists in the street in front of the subject property (Felicita Avenue). In order to obtain sewer service, the property owner must enter into an out-of-agency service agreement with the City of Escondido.

The out -of-agency service agreement includes provisions that requires future annexation to the City (irrevocable offer of annexation). The subject site has a county zoning designation of Rural Residential (RR), and is within the City’s Estate II General Plan Land Use Designation. The action also includes the pre- zone designation of Residential Estate (RE-2) to conform to the City’s General Plan Land Use designation.

Because the property at 2334 Felicita Avenue is immediately adjacent to City lim its, LAFCO has placed a condition upon the provision of out -of-agency service agreement that requires the property owner to complete the annexation process within one year.

SUBJECT: Notice of Conditional Approval:

Contractual Wastewater Service Agreement for the City of Escondido to serve 2334 Felicita Road (Assessor Parcel Number 238-320-12)

Mr. Bryant:

This letter serves as formal notice of San Diego County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO)’s conditional approval for the City of Escondido to establish contract wastewater service for your property located at 2334 Felicita Road. This conditional approval is authorized under my powers pursuant to Government Code Section 56133 and adopted LAFCO policy and substantiated based on a review of written documentation showing the existing septic system has failed and poses a threat to public health. The conditional approval extends one calendar year unless a time extension is requested and approved and follows a written recommendation from the County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health and Quality to immediately transition the property to public wastewater should it be available.

The conditional approval is limited to authorizing the City of Escondido to enter into an outside wastewater service agreement for only the existing residential dwelling unit comprising the affected territory. All approval conditions follow.

1. Receipt by San Diego LAFCO of a completed contractual service agreement form along with an application filing fee in the amount of $480.38. This amount reflects a 75% fee reduction given documentation of a public health threat. The form is available online.

ervice area and reflects a 75% fee reduction
given documentation of a public health threat. The form is available online.

Giv
en the underlying urgency, I agree to waive the requirement of a map and geographic description of the affected territory being submitted to LAFCO in conjunction with the other terms listed above. These documents, nonetheless, will be required to be submitted before an annexation proposal is presented for consideration by the Commission within the referenced one‐year time frame.

Separate written confirmation of the completion of all conditions tied to this approval will be provided as appropriate and serve as official notice of your legal allowance to proceed with the contractual service with the City of Escondido.

Should you have any questions in the interim, please contact LAFCO Analyst Priscilla Mumpower by telephone at 858‐276‐941

STAFF REPORT

March 22, 2023
File Number 0800-70

SUBJECT

AUTHORIZE THE INITIATION OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN AND THE REDUCTION OF FEES FOR THE PROCESSING OF THE AMENDMENT (PL23-0109)

DEPARTMENT
Planning Division, Development Services Department

RECOMMENDATION
Request that the City Council authorize City staff to accept and process an application to amend the Downtown Specific Plan, and approve a reduced fee for the processing of the application.

Staff Recommendation: Approval (Development Services Department: Andrew Firestine, Director of Development Services)
Presenter: Ivan Flores, Associate Planner

FISCAL ANALYSIS
Processing of entitlement applications involves expenditures of staff time and resources. In 2020, the City Council adopted an update to user fees that was derived from the cost to process various permits. An application for a Specific Plan Amendment is typically assessed a fee of $6,028.18 to cover costs associated with the review and processing of said application. However, based on the anticipated scope of the proposed amendment, staff supports a request made by the applicant for a fee reduction. A fee of $2,095.97 is anticipated to be sufficient to cover staff time and resources for processing this application.

PREVIOUS ACTION
None.

BACKGROUND
City staff has received a request from the owner of James Coffee Company, Carina Kennedy, to amend the Downtown Specific Plan (DSP). Pursuant to Chapter 8 (Implementation and Administration) of the DSP, City Council shall initiate the amendment process , prior to staff ac cepting a formal application for the amendment.

The proposed amendment would revise Figure II-2 which outlines the permitted and conditional uses for the various zoning districts. The proposed change consist of allowing “eating and drinking establishments” 118
Item9.

within the Creekside Neighborhood (CN) district. City staff will continue evaluating the implications of the request once a formal application has been submitted. The Planning Commission will provide a recommendation to the City Council on the matter at a later date.

File Number 0470-25

SUBJECT

PURCHASE ONE RAPID VIEW SEWER INSPECTION TV VAN FROM JDC, OF NORTHVILLE, MI

DEPARTMENT

Public Works/Fleet Services

RECOMMENDATION

Request the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023 -28, authorizing the Fleet Services Division to purchase one (1) Rapid View Sewer Inspection TV Van from JDC in the amount of $368,880.15, through a cooperative purchase contract with Sourcewell, Contract No. 120721-RVL. The cooperative purchase price through Sourcewell includes all taxes, delivery, operator and mechanic training, and all associated fees.

Staff Recommendation: Approval (Public Works: Joseph Goulart, Director of Public Works)

Presenter: Jeramiah Jennings, Fleet Maintenance Superintendent

FISCAL ANALYSIS

Sufficient funds have been allocated in Fleet Services fiscal year 2023 operating budget in account No. 5208-653-715 for the purchase of one TV Van.

PREVIOUS ACTION
None

BACKGROUND
The Collections Department utilizes their current TV Van to perform preventative maintenance inspections of sewer main lines within the City on a daily basis. Within each of the 16 designated basins, the TV Van is tasked with televising sewer mains in an effort to find issues and prevent catastrophic sewer line failures. The TV Van crew televises approximately 1500’ of sewer main lines per day.

A reliable TV van is a critical part of Collections’ maintenance program as it provides a view of the internal integrity of the sewer pipes, and allows for scoping when there is an active blockage or line failure. The proposed replacement unit is equipped with a more advanced camera system, as well as added safety features for installing and removing the camera into and out of sewer manholes. The current TV Van has reached the expected life cycle of 15 years, and is now due for replacement. 120
Item10.

Upon approval from City Council, one (1) Rapid View IBAK TV Van will be purchased from JDC of Northville, MI, utilizing a Cooperative Purchasing Contract through Sourcewell, Contract No. 120721-RVL, as allowed per Chapter 10, Article 5, Section 10-91 of the City of Escondido Municipal Code, authorizing the purchase of supplies and equipment utilizing cooperative purchase programs.

The proposed replacement unit is equipped with a larger, more powerful vacuum system, as well as more 132

CAL OES AUTHORIZED AGENT SIGNATURE FORM 130 FOR NON-STATE AGENCIES

DEPARTMENT

Public Works

RECOMMENDATION

Request the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023 -36, authorizing the Mayor to execute a State of California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services Designation of Subrecipient’s Agent Resolution Form 130 (“Cal OES Form 130”) appointing and authorizing t he Emergency Preparedness Manager , the Director of Public Works, and the Director of Finance as authorized agents of the City to file and engage with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) and the State of California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (“Cal OES”) for grants and disaster assistance applied for by the City.

Staff Recommendation: Approval (Public Works: Joseph Goulart, Director of Public Works)

Presenter: Joseph Goulart, Director of Public Works

FISCAL ANALYSIS

Allow Staff to seek Cal OES grant opportunities and apply for State and/or Federal funding for disaster assistance.

PREVIOUS ACTION
On July 17, 2019, City Council authorized the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a Cal OES Form 130 which was valid for three (3) years.

BACKGROUND
Cal OES requires non -state agencies to execute a Cal OES Form 130 to receive State grants, certain financial assistance under Public Law 93 -288, as amended by the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act of 1988, and State financial assistance under the California Disaster Assistance Act. Cal OES Form 130 must be approved by resolution of the Governing Body, authorizing agen ts of the agency to file and engage with FEMA and Cal OES for State grants and disaster assistance. The Cal OES 144
Item12.

Form 130 will be in effect for three (3) years, following the date of Council approval, for all open and future disaster assistance.

Staff recommends completing the CAL OES Form 130 with titles of authorized agents only, which will require a cover letter accompanying the Cal OES Form 130 naming the authorized agents by name and title. This method allows the CAL OES Form 130 to be valid for three (3) years. If an authorized agent leaves the position and is replaced by another individual with the same title, a revised cover letter can be completed by any authorized person within the agency.

If names and titles of authorized agents are listed on th e Cal OES Form 130 and an authorized agent is replaced or leaves the position, a new Cal OES Form 130 would be required and would need to be approved by resolution of the Governing Body.

RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023-27, authorizing the Deputy City Manager / Director of Utilities to file a Notice of Completion for the Emergency Repair of the sewer main in North Hale Avenue, between the intersection at Simpson Way and Industrial Avenue.

Presenter: Kyle Morgan, Deputy Director of Utilities/Wastewater

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The total cost of the emergency repair work on the sewer pipeline was $872,899.

PREVIOUS ACTION
Previously, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-167, approving emergency action to immediately begin repairs on sewer pipeline in North Hale A venue. On October 25, 2022, the City of Escondido completed an agreement in an amount not to exceed $884,313.20 with Southland Paving, Inc. to perform the emergency repair of the sewer pipeline along North Hale Avenue between Simpson Way and Industrial Avenue.

BACKGROUND
The existing sewer pipeline in North Hale Avenue is a 24 -inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe, which was installed in 1959. This pipeline conveys raw sewage from approximately 40 percent of the City of Escondido to the Hale Avenue Resource Recovery Facility (“HARRF”).

On October 13, 2022, Utilities staff performed closed circuit televising (“CCTV”) of the existing trunk sewer pipeline travelling west from North Hale Avenue to the HARRF. Staff discovered that a portion of the 24- 152

inch pipeline under North Hale Avenue between Simpson Way and Industrial Avenue had collapsed, and a void had developed in the exposed material above the pipe.

As of December 1, 2022, pipeline repairs were completed. Repairs consisted of bypassing the flow around the failed portion, and open trench construction to replace and upsize the pipeline from 24 -inch to 30- inch diameter. Restoration work included paving, striping, and site cleanup. Finial invoicing was received on February 9, 2023.

DEPARTMENT
Development Services Department; Housing and Neighborhood Services Division

STAFF RECOMMENDATION

1. Provide direction on the funding priorities for CDBG and HOME activities for FY 2023-24

2. Adopt Resolution No. 2022 -37, approving the substantial amendment to the 2020 and 2021 Annual Action Plans
Staff Recommendation: Provide Direction and Approval (Development Services: Andrew Firestine , Director of Development Services)
Presenter: Holly Nelson, LCSW, Housing and Neighborhood Services Manager

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The CDBG and HOME administrative expenses and program activities will be covered by the annual grant allocation. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) announced in late February 2023 that the City will not be a recipient of the ESG grant for Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2023-2024.

In light of the decision regarding ESG funds for FY 2023-2024, the community needs identified in this report are far greater than the City’s annual allocation provided by HUD. Additional funds should be identified and allocated to support low-and-moderate income households living in Escondido.

PREVIOUS ACTION
On May 20, 2020, the City Council approved the 2020-2024 Five Year Consolidated Plan (“2020 Con Plan”) which is a five-year plan that outlines the City’s goals and funding priorities for CDBG, HOME, and ESG through June 30, 2025. The City anticipates receiving close to $1 3,000,000 from its annual allocation, program income and unused funding . Extensive public outreach and consultation, needs assessments, and market analyses on local data were conducted to determine the most critical community needs and strategic goals within the City of Escondido.
166
Item16.

BACKGROUND
The City of Escondido is considered an entitlement jurisdiction and receives an annual allocation from HUD that ranges from $2.2 million to $2.6 million dollars for the operations of its CDBG, HOME and ESG programs. The funding is determined by a formula calculated by HUD based on population, people in poverty, overcrowde d units, population growth lag since 1960, and pre -1940 housing units from the American Community Survey (“ACS”). The City’s allocation can fluctuate year-to-year causing funding to increase or decrease in various programs.

As a recipient of the federal funds, the City is required to submit a Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, and monitor its progress, outcomes, and expenditures through the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (“CAPER”).

Housing and Neighborhood Services Staff is lo oking to seek input and feedback from the public and City Council on which needs and subpopulations should be prioritized in the upcoming fiscal year. The City wants to ensure the priorities listed in th is plan align with the current needs of the City while accomplishing its overarching strategic goals established within its five-year Consolidated Plan.

On February 27, 2023, HUD announced the City will receive $1,446,858 in CDBG funds, $712,111 in HOME funds, and $0 in ESG funds for FY 2023-24. CDBG and HOME have strict gu idelines on expenditures per category. For example, annual CDBG funds can be used to fund administrative expenses and planning (a maximum of 20% or $289,371), public services (up to 15% or $217,028) and capital improvement projects sponsored by either the City or by non-profit organizations (no maximum or $940,459). HOME funds can be used to fund administrative funds (10%) and must fund 15% of its annual allocation to a Community Housing Development Organization (“CHDO”), a nonprofit organization that develops affordable housing.

It is important to note that f ederal funds m ust not be used to supplant general fund spending and all funded projects must serve and benefit low- and moderate-income persons or areas in the community.

The City has a finite amount of resources it receives from HUD each year and is unable to fund all of the internal and external applicants who apply to the CDBG and HOME grants requesting assistance .

Additionally, the Housing and Neighborhood Services Team has a limited number of staff assigned to the CDBG and HOME Programs. The team is comprised of four full-time employees who oversee more than 26 CDBG and HOME contracts, manage several multi-year construction projects, and work with outside consultants. The division has had two management analyst vacancies for the past six months which has hindered program growth and development.

As the City prepares to enter its fourth year of its five-year Consolidated Plan , City staff would like to provide a snapshot on the City’s five-year consolidated plan goals, funding allocations, and the percentage of goals completed to-date.

It is staff’s recommendation t hat the City Council prioritize funding opportunities to goals that have not yet been achieved in the five-year Consolidated Plan. Due to the limited number of staff and high number of contracts currently being managed, funding should be allocated in higher dollar amounts to maximize the community impact and reduce the administrative burden on City staff.

After the City Council has confirmed the City’s priorities for the upcoming fiscal year , Housing and Neighborhood Services staff w ill release a Request for Proposal (“RFP”) to notify possible internal and external subrecipients. A second public hearing will be held in May or June 2023 to review the applications received, evaluate staff’s recommendations and adopt the 2023 Annual Action Plan.

SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT
In reviewing past CDBG-funded projects and meeting with internal City leaders, City staff is recommending making a substantial amendment to eliminate the following three CDBG-approved projects of playground equipment, fitness court, and debris crew valued at $932,040.

Staff is proposing that City Council approve reallocating $650,000 to fund two CDBG -approved projects that demonstrate project-readiness. Material costs have increased due to the pandemic and staffing changes have limited the City’s ability to execute large-scale projects in the grant year they were awarded.

Both of the CDBG-approved projects are high-dollar amounts and it would be beneficial to remove any obstacles toward execution, so the general contractor can spend down the grant award and complete the proposed project in a timely manner.

Each year, City staff is required by HUD to execute projects and expend funds in a timely manner. A CDBG- funded jurisdiction can have no more than 1.5x of its annual allocation by May of each year. According to HUD, this is a known as a “timeliness test” and the City has historically had difficulty meeting this test. In 2020 and 2021, HUD offered many jurisdictions waivers on the timeliness test rule due to the pandemic; however, those exceptions are no longer in effect and formal notifications and warnings have been issued.

The consequences of a jurisdiction not meeting HUD’s timeliness goal can range from receiving a formal letter to developing a workout plan to losing future funds. 172
Item16.

City staff is committed to addressing this issue and expending funds in a timely manner and has been meeting with HUD staff on potential solutions. Accordingly, staff is recommending to reallocate projects that have had challenges executing and will return to the City Council in April 2023 to make another amendment. The goal of staff’s present recommendation is to meet the community’s needs while trying to prudently spend down its allocated resources.

STAFF REPORT

March 22, 2023
File Number 0875-20

SUBJECT
REVIEW AND APPROVE THE CITY OF ESCONDIDO’S HOME-ARP ALLOCATION PLAN

DEPARTMENT
Development Services; Housing & Neighborhood Services Division

RECOMMENDATION

Request the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023-32, approving the 2023 HOME -ARP Allocation Plan and use of administrative funding as outlined below and approve the associated Budget Adjustment.

Staff Recommendation: Approval (Development Services Department: Andrew Firestine, Director of Development Services)

Presenters: Holly Nelson, LCSW Housing & Neighborhood Services Manager and Eric Bunge, Management Analyst I, Housing & Neighborhood Services

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The HOME-ARP grant allows for up to 15% of the allocation to be used for administrative costs. The City will be using this percentage of the administrative costs to fund a 1.0 FTE, term-limited Housing Navigator position. Outside funding sources will be used to cover the costs of developing the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan.

BACKGROUND
The City of Escondido (“City”) receives annual federal entitlements from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) for community development, homelessness and housing activities.

On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 ( “ARPA”) was signed into law. As a result of ARPA funding, HUD announced local jurisdictions who were recipients of the HOME Investment Partnership program (“HOME”) would be awarded one-time funds. In total, this was a $5 billion initiative that to help communities across the country. Six hundred and fifty-one state and local jurisdictions that receive an annual HOME entitlement were eligible to qualify for the HOME-ARP funding and the amount that each could receive was based on a formula.

On September 20, 2021, the City of Escondido was awarded $2,262,839 in HOME-ARP funds. To receive HOME-ARP funds, the City Council is required to approve a HOME-ARP Cost Allocation Plan (Attachment 176
Item17.

“1”) and the plan must be submitted to HUD for final approval by March 31, 2023. After being approved by HUD, changes to the plan can be made through an amendment process.

OVERVIEW

The purpose of HOME-ARP funding is to assist individuals or households who are experiencing homelessness, at risk of homelessness, and other vulnerable populations by developing new affordable rental housing, providing rental assistance, funding supportive services, or acquiring a non-congregate shelter to reduce homelessness and increase housing stability for residents in the City of Escondido. HUD provided HOME-ARP grantees specific guidelines around who is eligible and what activities can be funded.

Individuals and families that me et one of the categories below are determined to a be Qualified Population (“QP”):

1. Individuals experiencing homelessness

2. Households at risk of homelessness

3. Fleeing, or attempting to flee, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking or human trafficking

4. Other vulnerable populations

5. Veterans and their families who meet the criteria stated above.

These Qualified Populations are defined in more detail in Attachment “3”. As a condition of the grant, all participating jurisdictions must design and administer their HOME-ARP program to provide all four QPs with access to HOME-ARP projects and activities.

The following is a list of Eligible Activities that can be funded using the HOME-ARP grant and each activity is described more in detail in Attachment “2”:

1. Production or preservation of affordable rental housing

2. Tenant-based rental assistance

3. Supportive Services

4. Acquisition or development of non-congregate shelter

5. Nonprofit Operating and Capacity Building Assistance

6. Administration and Planning

This funding source is unique compared to the traditional HOME allocation because it provides jurisdictions with the flexibility to fund supportive services, non -congregate shelter and non -profit capacity that is traditionally not eligible under the regular HOME guidelines. Jurisdictions are not required to set aside funds for Community Housing Development Organizations commonly referred to as CHDOs. 177
Item17.

HUD increased regular administrative allocation from 10% to 15% to allow for a more comprehensive plan development.

PUBLIC INPUT, CONSULTATIONS AND DATA
Housing and Neighborhood Services staff was tasked with the development of this HOME-ARP Allocation Plan. To understand the needs in services and gaps in inventory facing the qualified populations, City staff met with more than 15 key stakeholders, local service providers and regional entities. A wide range of needs were identified through this process and are listed below. Ninety-two percent of service providers who were consulted expressed the immediate need for supportive services to help people find housing and remain housed and 77% stressed the need to build more affordable housing rental units.

Here are is some of the feedback collected from the local service providers.

1. Housing:
 There is a lack of enough affordable rental units
 Waitlists for Section 8 vouchers and affordable rental units are too long  Need for permanent supportive housing for people with disabilities  Increases in cost of living and housing prices makes fair market units unattainable, further cost burdens households, and escalate the threat of people losing their housing
 Not enough shelter beds and temporary living units for people seeking immediate help

2. Supportive services:
 Landlord relations
i. Very competitive market and need an incentive to help low income families stand out
ii. Tenant income verification and high deposit requirements . In some cases, tenants need 3 times the rent
 Flexible spending funds that can be individually tailored to meet needs  Rental assistance , financial coaching and housing navigation with a focus on placement and securing housing
 Pilot program to fill niche gaps in services
 Childcare, workforce, education, trainings, job placement  Light case management to keep people on the right track toward independence and upward mobility
 Outpatient health services and substance abuse treatment services 178
Item17.

In addition to the community outreach and public input, City staff compiled data from a variety of sources to gather a comprehensive look at the City’s current housing and population make up. This includes, but is not limited to, reviewing numerous regional, state and local strategic plans on homelessness; requesting data from the Escondido Police Department on calls for service related to domestic violence and homelessness within the City; receiving data from the North County’s Family Justice Center ’s One Safe Place on survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking; acquiring client profile data from 2-1-1 San Diego on persons experiencing homelessness, at risk homelessness, domestic violence survivors and veterans calling f or help from the city ; and reviewed housing and homelessness best practices. City staff conducted their own market analysis on local data and compared affordable housing versus fair market housing, categorized the types of units, bedroom sizes and pinpointed the number of units at specific area median income (AMI) thresholds at 0-30%, 50%, 60%, and 80% AMI. Pulling all of the data t ogether, it aligned with the feedback that was received from the service providers and further conveyed the need in these three areas:

1. Housing:
 There is a lack of units for household at 0-30%
i. Only 8% (67 units) of the 1,200 deed restricted affordable units within the City cater to households at 0-30% AMI
ii. 7,250 of the city’s 22,990 renters are household at or below 30% AMI iii. The CA Homeless Housing Needs Assessment i dentified the need for 1,000,000 units statewide for people at 0-30% AMI
iv. The 2022 ALL IN: Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness stated that nationally, there are only 37 affordable and available rental homes for every 100 extremely low-income renters
 The Regional Task Force on Homelessness recently issued a Regional Plan in September 2022 showing that North County needs 150-230 emergency shelter beds, 718 permanent supportive housing units , and 1,863 rapid re -housing vouchers in addition to the housing production goals

2. Supportive Services:
 Rental Assistance:
i. 78% of all rental units (17,862 households in Escondido), affordable and fair market, are rented by low income household at or below 80%  59.6% of all renters (13,719 households) are c ost burdened paying 30% or more of their take home income toward housing costs ii. The average rent for a 2 -bedroom apartment in City of Escondido has risen almost $900 per month since the fall of 2020 to present 179
Item17.

iii. The City’s Section 8 voucher waitlist grew by 7 00 households from 2021 to 2023 and now has 3,850 households on the waitlist
iv. Nearly a million households are e victed annually according the 2022 ALL IN:

Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness , and 30% of that total are California households . A study revealed that out all household evictions, 37.5% households end up living on the streets

3. Populations:
 9,315 unduplicated Escondido residents called 211 needing help in 2022. i. In general, most callers were seeking resources on housing, income support and employment, nutrition and mental health and substance use disorder treatment
ii. 23%, or 2,128 callers , identified being at -risk of homelessness and or experiencing homelessness
 Out of those 803 callers who reported experiencing homelessness, 77% were a single household earning less than 30% of the AMI  The other 1,325 callers were at risk and the greatest needs identified were housing, rent payment or security deposit assistance  The 2022 Point -in-Time Count showed 8,000 people experiencing homelessness in San Diego County with 499 people experiencing homelessness within the City of Escondido which is the fourth highest total in the region. In the State of California, 145,854 households experience homelessness on a given night with 72% of population being unsheltered
 Escondido Police Department fielded 6,929 homeless calls for service in 2022 and over 1,600 students in the Escondido School District reported experiencing homelessness
 Data from our local Continuum of Care (CoC) shows that for every 10 people who are housed, 13 new people enter into homelessness system of care for the first-time

PROPOSED HOME-ARP ACTIVITIES ALLOCATION DETERMINATION
City staff is recommending that the HOME -ARP grant is used to create affordable units and supportive services. Staff carefully cross-referenced the quantitative data with the qualitative feedback gathered from the key stakeholders to derive th ese conclusions. Funding both rental housing and supportive services was a holistic approach that was geared to ba lance addressing short term needs with building long term infrastructure.
180
Item17.

City staff recommends to allocate $1,500,000 of the HOME-ARP grant for the proposes of creating 15 affordable rental housing units for extremely low-income (0-30% AMI) households with a preference for those experiencing homelessness. A project specific waitlist will be used for tenant selection that will have a preference prioritization for Escondido residents. Increasing the number of affordable units will create upward mobility opportunities to lift people up through the housing ecosystem and as a result, it will free up those beds and subsidy slots for the next level.

In addition, the City recommends allocating $339,000 to hire a termed Housing Navigator position to assist vulnerable households in Escondido to coordinate and implement the supportive services. The remaining $423,414 will fund supportive services with an emphasis on helping place or keep people in permanent housing. The H ousing Navigator position and supportive se rvices will assist all of the Qualifying Populations identified in this report and prioritize serving Escondido residents. The Housing Navigator will work collaboratively with service providers because t he homelessness and affordable housing supply issues we face will not change collaborative partnerships and long-term commitment from the public- and private-sector stakeholders.
