Program H-1.7.1 Permit
Streamlining
Develop a streamlined permitting process
for local and out of area developers to permit
affordable and market-rate multi-unit
housing projects. Project streamlining for
larger vacant parcels (2 to 10 acres) could
consist of: 1) completion of all resource
studies (botanical, traffic, cultural resources,
etc.); 2) completion of the CEQA analysis;
and/or 3) completion of the site plan,
elevations, and all permitting for a vacant
parcel.
2020-2025 Cycle 7 Completed
Significant pre-development
work was completed for a
three acre vacant parcel on
Hazelwood, including:
botanical and wetland study
and 30% design for required
public improvements. This
work was funded with LEAP
funds. The City determined
that it does not have
sufficient budget to complete
pre-development work on
other parcels. The City
approved entitlements for a
50 units senior housing
project on the Hazelwood
parcel. The applicant utilized
the background reports
prepared by the City for their
application.
Units 50
The City has a documented practice of
streamlining housing development at the
project level, by utilizing statutory and
categorical exemptions. In the past 5 years the
City has approved five large affordable and
market-rate multifamily projects and numerous
small projects by utilizing various categorical
and statutory exemptions. This eliminates the
need to complete an expensive Mitigated
Negative Declaration or EIR for a project. At
the pre-application meeting for all multifamily
housing projects we let developers know if
their project will be exempted from CEQA or
not depending on the specific characteristics
and location of the project site.

Program H-1.8.2
Substandard Housing
Program
Participate in the Franchise Tax Board
(FTB) Substandard Housing Program,
which assists the state and local agencies
responsible for addressing unsafe living
conditions that violate health and safety
codes. Property owners in violation of health
and safety code standards are not allowed
to make certain deductions on their personal
tax returns pursuant to California Revenue &
Taxation Code (CR&TC) Sections 17274
and 24436.5. That additional revenue
collected by FTB is transferred to the Local
Code Enforcement Rehabilitation fund.
These funds are then disbursed to the cities
and counties that generated the notification
of substandard housing to the FTB. The City
will use funds collected from Franchise Tax
Board (FTB) Substandard Housing Program
for code enforcement for residential
properties and to address health and safety
issues in residential properties that would
otherwise be red-tagged.
Ongoing Cycle 7 Completed

enforcement were expended

Funding for the City's HOMEfunded housing rehab
program has expired and the

award was amended to
include TBRA instead of
rehab during the height of the
