Exhibit H - Planning Commission Resolution No. 13873 — Fresno City Council, December 12, 2024 (part 2 of 4)

Funding for Housing, Economic, and Community Development The City receives HUD funding for capital improvement projects in qualifying low- and moderate-income neighborhoods within the city’s sphere of influence . The City’s Public Works Construction Management Division typically oversees the infrastructure projects that are approved. More than $200 million in funding has gone toward CDBG projects during the previous Housing Element cycle. Projects included street construction, parks, traffic signal, sewer and water, and transportation projects.

In 2022 alone, the City initiated funding in two locations– the Burroughs Elementary Neighborhood Street Reconstruction Project (Phase I) and the West Fresno Elementary and MLK Neighborhood Street Improvements Project. The City also funded additional projects for overall neighborhood street improvements – the Yosemite Middle School Complete Streets Project, the Ericson Elementary Neighborhood Project, the Highway City Neighborhood Reconstruction Project, the Maple-Gettysburg-Holland Street Reconstruction Project, the Olive-Maple-Whitney-Chestnut Street Reconstruction Project, the Shields-Cedar-Dakota-Maple Street Reconstruction Project, and the Burroughs Elementary Neighborhood Street Reconstruction Project (Phase II). Across these eight projects, it is estimated that the City served 66,685 people.

The City also used $4.9 million in CDBG funds to acquire property on Blackstone Avenue for the future development of a senior center. The senior center is anticipated to be about 29,000 square feet and will provide various services and indoor and outdoor amenities.

The 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan also identifies Affordable Housing Development in high opportunity areas as a priority. In 2022, the City allocated $3.1 million in HOME funds for Affordable Housing Development or Rehabilitation and an additional $3.6 million in CDBG funds for land acquisition in support of affordable housing development. Additionally, the City allocated 28.5 percent of its third allocation of Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) for development of affordable multifamily rental housing and 28.5 percent for development of affordable single-family housing, focusing on areas of opportunity. Out of the total PLHA allocations, the City will have $4.1 million for the development of affordable multifamily rental housing and another $4.1 million for the development of single-family housing. The City is awaiting receipt of executed Standard Agreements from the State of California for these funds.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-3-119 Priority Investments in Established Neighborhoods
Roughly one half of development in the city is anticipated to be within infill areas through 2035, as described in the General Plan . The other half or so of development in the city is anticipated to be in new growth areas, which include unincorporated land planned for urban use.

One of the City’s primary planning considerations is to address the need for increasing the affordable housing opportunities for low - and moderate-income households, with special emphasis on persons with disabilities, people experiencing homelessness, larg e families, persons living in substandard housing, and persons paying rent that exceeds 50 percent of their monthly income. Through the General Plan, the City prioritized specific areas within the core of the city for incentives and other benefits to accel erate reinvestment and rehabilitation for homes and businesses.

Figure 1E-3.40 displays the City’s Priority Areas for Development Incentives, these areas include:
▪ “Infill Opportunity Zones” (IOZs) – Established Neighborhoods Generally South of Herndon Avenue, including many of Fresno’s established neighborhood s, which are in need of both large, catalytic reinvestment projects, as well as smaller-scale strategic interventions; ▪ BRT corridors, including the Phase 1 corridors along Blackstone Avenue and Ventura Avenue/Kings Canyon Road and the Phase 2 corridors along Shaw Avenue and California Avenue; ▪ Downtown Planning Area, which includes the Central Business District, Civic Center and other Downtown centers, Chinatown, South Stadium/South Van Ness, Downtown neighborhoods and special districts; and
▪ South Industrial Area, including much of Fresno’s established heavy industrial uses, which may need infrastructure investment to meet the needs of major job -creation industry sectors, as well as improvements to enhance current business operations.

Priority for infrastructure projects will be given to serving established neighborhoods, including generally south of Herndon Avenue as shown in Figure 1E-3.41: Priority Areas for Development Incentives, along BRT and enhanced transit corridors, and in the Downtown Planning Area, consistent with General Plan policies.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-3-121 Figure 1E-3.42 presents the sequencing of development on the fringe of the city, as presented in the City’s General Plan. To prioritize infrastructure investments within Growth Area 1 the City considers planned infrastructure expansion, public service capacity, and othe r fiscal considerations. The boundaries of these areas are Development Areas 1 North, 1 South, 2 North, and 2 South. Growth Area 2 has significantly less access to completed infrastructure. Any development in these areas would require all infrastructure costs to be borne by the new development.

As part of the implementation of the Housing Element, programs are identified to upgrade the city’s infrastructure as needed in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods with the greatest needs.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-3-123 Building Healthy Communities Initiative
The City has been coordinating with community groups to address priorities of residents in south Fresno – generally those neighborhoods south of State Route 180. One such group, The California Endowment, launched a Building Healthy Communities Initiative (BHC). The BHC is a 10-year, $1 billion investment which began in 2010 with the goal of improving employment opportunities, education, housing, neighborhood safety, unhealthy environmental conditions, and inequitable access to healthy foods in 14 communities throughout the state. Central, Southeast, and Southwest Fresno have received and allocated funding as part of the BHC initiative. The BHC Initiative addresses a broad range of land use and social issues, which include:
▪ Ensure that the built environment is clean, well maintained , and conducive to health in all city neighborhoods and includes adequate and equitable provision of sewer and water within a reasonably priced homeownership market.
▪ Establish effective education and job training for area youth that is both academic and trade oriented.
▪ Ensure that underserved neighborhoods are included in strategies for job creation, including opportunities for home grown business development.
▪ Actively seek opportunities to create and maintain safe parks of all sizes in every city neighborhood to provide families with spaces to interact with their neighbors and promote physical activity. ▪ Create opportunities both public and private for the Downtown neighborhoods that include entertainment, stores ( e.g., retail, food, clothing), parks, recreation centers and after school programs, especially for youth.
▪ Acknowledge and address attitudes within the government institutions, economic systems and law enforcement culture toward immigrant and ethnic minority communities that perpetuate inequality. ▪ Develop a system of transportation that responds to the needs of the most vulnerable sectors of the community, including focused bus routes for specific geographic areas of need and/or particularly vulnerable subgroups (e.g., the elderly, disabled and farm workers). ▪ Provide accessible healthcare services beyond emergency care. ▪ Establish an equitable system of public safety that supports community while also reducing crime.

1E-3-124 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 Transform Fresno
As described previously the City is also actively engaged in the Transform Fresno initiative, which includes a number of community-driven projects to revitalize and improve the physical and social infrastructure in Chinatown, Downtown, and Southwest Fresno. Projects will reduce GHG emissions while also providing local environmental, health, and economic and social equity benefits . Much has happened after SGC’s announcement of Fresno’s TCC award in January 2018. From then through the close of the 2021 -2022 fiscal year (June 30, 2022), a period of four and a half years, project partners have made considerable progress toward implementing an ambitious, unprecedented climate action initiative. Actions have included retrofitting homes to use less energy, increased urban tree cover, and workforce development.

Location of Existing Publicly Supported Housing
There are two divisions of Fresno Housing – one serves residents in the city of Fresno and the other serves residents in the greater Fresno County region. Fresno Housing’s 2023 Annual Plan provide the most recent record of the public housing inventory. Fresno Housing reports that there are 4,912 public housing units and 10,638 housing choice vouchers in use, totaling 15,550 publicly supported housing units in the city of Fresno, see Table 1E-3.15. There are more than 43,000 subsidized affordable housing units in the county of Fresno as a whole.

Figure 1E-3.42 below depicts the location of individual buildings with public housing units throughout the city of Fresno , based on HUD’s national feature layer “Public Housing Buildings” from the National Geospatial Data Asset dataset . Public housing comes in all sizes and types, from scattered single family houses to high-rise apartments for elderly families. HUD administers federal aid to local housing agencies that manage the housing for low -income residents at rents they can afford . HUD furnishes technical and professional assistance in planning, developing and managing these developments. Publicly supported housing in Fresno is concentrated in certain areas of the city including in existing neighborhoods north of Shaw Avenue as well as in the southwest neighborhoods west of State Route 41 and north of the industrial district. (Figure 1E-3.43).

SECTION 1E-3: LOCAL ASSESSMENT OF FAIR HOUSING
1E-3-126 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 Food Access
Food access is another important component of access to opportunity, as access to food that is both affordable and nutritious is a challenge for many individuals and families in the United States. While data on food access by neighborhood or census tract i s not available for the city of Fresno, stakeholders interviewed to prepare the 2020 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice noted a lack of access to fresh food outlets in south and west Fresno.

In the survey issued to inform that planning process, respondents repeated concerns surrounding food access in the city, with 52 percent noting that grocery stores and other shopping opportunities are not equally provided. Only 22 percent of respondents described grocery stores and other shopping as equally provided in the city. As higher proportions of Hispanic residents live in south and west Fresno, lower levels of food access in these areas of the city may present fair housing concerns.

Enforcement and Outreach Capacity
Compliance with Fair Housing Laws
Fair housing enforcement and outreach capacity refers to the ability of a locality and fair housing entities to disseminate information related to fair housing laws and rights and provide outreach and education to community members. Enforcement and outreach capacity also includes the ability to address compliance with fair housing laws, such as investigating complaints, obtaining remedies, and engaging in fair housing testing.

The Fair Employment and Housing Act and the Unruh Civil Rights Act are the primary California fair housing laws. California state law further extends anti-discrimination protections in housing to several classes that are not covered by the federal FHA of 1968, including prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) has statutory mandates to protect the people of California from discrimination pursuant to the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), Ralph Civil Rights Act, and Unruh Civil Rights Act (with regards to housing). ▪ FEHA prohibits discrimination and harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, marital status, military or veteran status, national origin, ancestry, familial status, source of income, disability, and genetic information, or because another person perceives the tenant or applicant to have one or more of these characteristics. ▪ Unruh Civil Rights Act (Civ. Code, § 51) prohibits business establishments in California from discriminating in the provision of services, accommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges to clients, patrons and customers because of their sex, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sexual orientation, citizenship, primary language, or immigration status.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-3-127 ▪ Ralph Civil Rights Act (Civ. Code, § 51.7) guarantees the right of all persons within California to be free from any violence, or intimidation by threat of violence, committed against their persons or property because of political affiliation, or on account of sex, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sexual orientation, citizenship, primary language, immigration status, or position in a labor dispute, or because another person perceives them to have one or more of these characteristics.

The City enforces fair housing and complies with fair housing laws and regulation through a twofold process: review of local policies and code for compliance with state law and the referral of fair housing complaints for investigation and resolution by the regional fair housing provider. Table 1E -3.16 demonstrates the City’s compliance with fair housing laws and other related laws.

In Fresno and Fresno County, local housing, social services, and legal service organizations include the Fair Housing Council of Central California, Central California Legal Services, California Rural Legal Services, and the Leadership Counsel for Justice and Accountability. A summary of each organization’s focus is included in Table 1E-3.17.

1E-3-128 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 Table 1E-3.16: City of Fresno Compliance with Fair Housing Laws State Law/ Requirement Description of Compliance
Housing Accountability Act and Housing Crisis Act. The Housing Accountability Act (Government Code Section 65589.5) limits the ability of a local government to deny, reduce the density of, or make infeasible housing development projects, emergency shelters, or farmworker housing that are consistent with objective local development standards and contribute to meeting housing need. The Housing Crisis Act of 2019, commonly known as Senate Bill 330 (SB 330) expedites permit processing for housing projects and restricts local governments’ ability to downzone and limits fee increases on housing applications.

The City complies with the Housing Accountability Act and the Housing Crisis Act in reviewing and approving projects. The City has taken steps to facilitate housing in mixed use zones by removing maximum densities and adopting objective standards. Currently (2023), the City offers an optional preliminary application checklist for all entitlement applications to advise a prospective applicant of current City standards and requirements.

Pre-application meetings have helped to shorten the review process and allow for better communication between applicants, City departments, and utility providers. The City has not yet developed an SB 330 preliminary application form, however it does enforce SB 330. The Housing Element includes a program to establish such an application to streamline processing procedures. The City complies with regulations set forth in state law for processing preliminary application for housing development projects, conducting no more than five hearings for housing projects that comply with objective general plan and development standards, and making a decision on a residential project within 90 days after certification of an environmental impact report, or 60 days after adoption of a mitigated negative declaration or an environmental report for an affordable housing project. The Housing Element includes a program to further review and amend site development and design standards in the Development Code for residential and mixed use zones to ensure standards are clear and objective (Program 6 – Objective Design Standards).

Density Bonus. State Density Bonus Law (Gov. Code Section 65915- 65918) allows developers to increase density on a property above the maximum set under a jurisdiction’s General Plan land use plan if specific conditions are met.

The City complies with State density bonus law. The City has included Program 25 (Development Code Amendments for Compliance with State Law and to Reduce Barriers to Housing Development) to amend the ordinance to be consistent with the most recent changes in state law and to continue to monitor density bonus law to make further modifications as needed.

No-Net-Loss. No Net Loss Law (Gov. Code Section 65863) requires a jurisdiction to always maintain a sufficient supply of adequate sites in its housing element throughout the housing element planning period to meet a jurisdiction’s remaining unmet share of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for each income category.

The City will continue to comply with No-Net-Loss through identifying a surplus of sites available to meet the RHNA allocation and tracking the remaining capacity as projects are approved on sites in the inventory (Program 1).

Least Cost Zoning Law. Gov. Code Section 65913.1 establishes a duty for local governments to designate and zone sufficient vacant land for residential use with appropriate standards. "Appropriate standards" means densities and requirements with respect to minimum floor areas, building setbacks, rear and side yards, parking, the percentage of a lot that may be occupied by a structure, amenities, and other requirements The City conducted a comprehensive inventory of all vacant and non-vacant developable land within city limits, demonstrating that there is enough housing capacity to meet RHNA targets within the Housing Element planning period. By designating and zoning this land with appropriate standards, Fresno ensures the economic feasibility of producing housing at the lowest possible cost while balancing economic and environmental factors and maintaining public health and safety.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-3-129 State Law/ Requirement Description of Compliance
imposed on residential lots pursuant to the zoning authority which contribute to the economic feasibility of producing housing at the lowest possible cost given economic and environmental factors, the public health and safety.

Fair Housing Law / Discrimination in Land Use. Government Code Section 65008 prohibits actions by a local government that deny residence, tenancy or ownership based on familial status or method of financing for proposed developments or intended occupancy of developments by persons of very low, low, moderate or middle- income.

The City complies with Government Code Section 65008. In addition, the Housing Element includes strategies to affirmatively further the objectives of fair housing law.

Strategies include enforcing source of income protection and providing education to property owners on laws prohibiting the ability to refuse to rent to an applicant based on their source of income (Program 20); referring discrimination to appropriate State and Federal enforcement agencies (Program 26); and working to mitigate impediments to fair housing opportunities, with an emphasis on supporting the needs of populations and neighborhoods most impacted by fair housing issues (Program 27).

Anti-Discrimination. California Government Code Section 11135 prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, ethnic group identification, age, mental disability, physical disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, or sexual orientation, and provides protection from discrimination from any program or activity that is conducted, funded directly by, or receives any financial assistance from the State.

The City of Fresno recognizes the rights of all its residents, workers, and visitors, including the right to reside, work, and visit. No discrimination shall be exercised, threatened or promised by any person in the employ of the city against or in favor of any applicant, eligible or employee because of any classification protected by state or federal law.

Local Fair Housing Enforcement
Eviction Protection Program. The Eviction Protection Program (EPP) is a local program which defends tenants renting an apartment or house in the City of Fresno from unlawful eviction. If the City determines a tenant is potentially facing unlawful eviction, the tenant may be eligible to receive a City-appointed attorney or legal services to assist in the judicial process at no charge. This program is open to any City of Fresno resident who is facing an unlawful eviction regardless of financial or documented status.

Emergency Rental Assistance Program. In response to the impacts of COVID-19, the City received nearly $64 million for emergency rental assistance from state and federal governments. The Emergency Rental Assistance Program provides relief to lower-income renters and landlords that were negatively impacted by COVID-19 and were unable to pay their rent and utilities. As of 2023, the City of Fresno’s Emergency Rental Assistance Program has distributed all available funding and the program is now closed.

Mobile Home Park Rent Review and Stabilization Program. Adopted in 1987, the purpose of this program is to protect mobile home park residents from excessive rent increases while at the same time providing mobile home park owners a level of rent sufficient to provide a just, fair and reasonable return on their investment in mobile home park property and to cover increased costs of repairs, maintenance, rehabilitation, capital improvements, services, amenities, upkeep and insurance. The ordinance provides a structure for consideration of proposed mobile home park rent increases through resident’s committees and a Mobile Home Park Rent Review and Stabilization Commission. See Fresno Municipal Code Article 20 for more information.

Since July 2021, the City has contracted with other service providers to provide various fair housing services including the Fresno Interdenominational Refugee Ministries (FIRM), Resources for Independence Central Valley, Inc. (RICV), Central California Legal Services (CCLS), and the Community Housing Council of Fresno. Through FIRM, in 2023 -24, the City provided public Fair Housing education and outreach to 13,007 persons or households through webinars, in-person outreach events, ethnic media, and informational resource distribution both city-wide and by targeted canvassing (e.g., dropping materials off at relevant agencies and organizations ). Outreach materials were distributed in five languages throughout areas where low-income Southeast Asian, Spanish, and Arabic -speaking communities congregate , including zip codes 93702, 93722, 93727, 93703, and 93725 . RICV also worked on an outreach and education program for vulnerable populations in the city with specific emphasis on easy -to-understand information on housing rights, housing discrimination, housing resources and subsidies, and overall fair housing issues. Training and materials were made available through social media, direct mail, the RICV newsletter, and email blas ts. RICV also distributed an easy -to-understand booklet to 217 low -income individuals through individual outreach. The City works with Central California Legal Services (CCLS) to refer inquiries and landlord/tenant complaints; and the Community Housing Council of Fresno to conduct fair housing workshops for prospective homebuyers and real estate/finance professionals.

SECTION 1E-3: LOCAL ASSESSMENT OF FAIR HOUSING
1E-3-134 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 Outreach Effectiveness
Outreach reached significantly more persons and households from the prior year (13,007 households in 2024 compared to 3,700 households in 2023). The zip codes where the outreach was conducted included portions of the central, southeast, and northwest portions of the City. Downtown (93721) Southwest Fresno (93706) areas were harder to document due to difficulty in securing trusted locations (usually markets and bakeries) and participants who decline to share their demographic information, but these areas also house populations that may be vulnerable to fair housing issues. Tables 1E – 3.3 Racial Segregation by Census Tract and 1E-

3.7, Distribution of Poverty, show high concentrations of people of color and over 40 percent of households living in poverty in the Downtown and Southwest areas of Fresno. In addition, Table 1E-3.10 shows a high percentage of population with a disability in these areas. Program 26, Fair Housing, includes strengthened language to ensure fair housing outreach is conducted in all neighborhoods of high need.

Fair Housing Testing
FHCCC conducted a Systemic Testing project in Fresno. The target area was all available new home developments on the basis of race and familial status. During PY 2019, 16 paired tests (32 tests) were completed. 5 paired tests were conducted on the basis of race and 11 paired tests were conducted on the basis of familial status. All testing was done according to the available rental market. Testing at 25 properties were located within the metropolitan area with most of the area zip codes. Results showed that people of color suffered some form of housing discrimination in new developments across the city 48 percent of the time (i.e., refusal to rent, lying about availability, or imposing different rules, terms, or conditions of tenancy).

The Housing Element includes a program committing the City to continue working with local fair housing providers to ensure residents and landlords are aware of fair housing laws, rights, and requirements. Through this action, the City will ensure resources are accessible to residents should they experience discrimination.

Fair Housing Lawsuits
Several noteworthy lawsuits have been litigated during the previous Housing Element planning period regarding alleged housing discrimination practices affecting fair and affordable housing in Fresno or the region: a HUD negotiated settlement targeting unfair lending practices by California mortgage lenders and two state court lawsuits against local jurisdictions seeking to compel compliance with their obligations under their respective General Plans and Housing Elements to provide affordable housing and services to disadvantaged groups. [Redacted] v. Benchmark Communities, LLC, FHEO Case No. 09 -16-5484-8 (Title VIII) (HUD Conciliation Agreement entered March 7, 2017).

HUD facilitated a settlement agreement resolving accusations of unfair lending practices between a complainant and three California mortgage lenders, American Financial Network of Brea in Orange County, Benchmark Communities of Fresno, Brigantino Enterpris e of Hollister, and also a Benchmark employee. The complainant filed a housing discrimination complaint with the FHEO in 2016 alleging he was unfairly denied an opportunity to pre -qualify for a mortgage loan based on his perceived Hispanic national origin, which precluded him from purchasing a home in Hollister.

American Financia l agreed to train current and new employees and pay the complainant $5,000 in damages.

Comunidades Unidas por un Cambio v. County of Fresno, Case Number 18CECG04586 (Fresno County Sup. Ct., file date Dec. 28, 2018).

In 2018, Comunidades Unidas por un Cambio (Communities United for Change) with the assistance of nonprofit Leadership Counsel for Justice & Accountability, filed an action against Fresno County and its Board of Supervisors seeking to enforce the County’s obligations under its General Plan and Housing Element to facilitate the development and maintenance of affordable housing and to address the needs of disadvantaged unincorporated communities (specifical ly for clean water and functioning sewer services, stormwater drainage, and other infrastructure). The lawsuit outlines multiple deadlines the County has missed for accommodating affordable housing and improving infrastructure and other needs in historically disadvantaged communities. Plaintiffs allege that the County’s failure to comply disproportionately impacts Latinos and other minority groups and deprives them of the opportunity to live in decent, quality affordable housing and healthy and complete neighborhoods.

The County asserted that it is currently in the midst of a revision and update to the General Plan that will include elements that address some of the purported concerns of the Plaintiffs. The County also contends that Plaintiffs’ suit is premature because the County should be given more time to complete the action items and programs identified in i ts General Plan, and also argues that the deadlines and HCD guidelines that Plaintiffs claim the County has failed to meet are nonbinding. In 2020, the Superior Court ruled in favor of the plaintiff, and issued a Preemptory Writ of Mandate ordering the County to implement several specific programs of the Housing Element and bring the General Plan into compliance by analyzing infrastructure needs in historically disadvantaged communities . Co munidades Unidas waived the other allegations of housing discrimination in violation of FEHA and discriminatory land use actions in violation of state law.

Martinez v. City of Clovis, Case Number 19CECG03855 (Fresno C ounty Sup. Ct., file date Oct. 23, 2019).

In 2019, Central California Legal Services (CCLS), on behalf of local citizens, filed suit in the Fresno County Superior Court against the City of Clovis alleging that the City’s Housing Element was out of compliance with state law by failing to meet a commitment in the 2016 Housing Element to provide an adequate supply of suitably zoned land for lower-income housing development. The complaint also alleged that the inadequate supply of land zoned for affordable housing is discriminatory towards people based on race and income, in violation of both federal fair housing law and state law. The Superior Court ruled in favor of the plai ntiff, finding that the City’s application of a zoning overlay for affordable high-density housing does not sufficiently meet the City’s obligation to provide suitably zoned land for housing affordable to lower -income households. The Court, however, did not find that the City’s housing policy violated federal fair housing law or that its actions were discriminatory. The City contended that its Housing Element was in full compliance with all regulations governing affordable housing. The City appealed, and SECTION 1E-3: LOCAL ASSESSMENT OF FAIR HOUSING
1E-3-136 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 in April 2023, the appellate court upheld the zoning inadequacy ruling but remanded discrimination claims for further proceedings. The California Supreme Court denied the City’s petition for review in July 2023.

A settlement was reached on February 20, 2024 , in which the City agreed to implement several actions to facilitate affordable housing.

HCD Technical Assistance Letter
The City of Fresno is in receipt of a letter of Technical Assistance from the Department of Housing and Community Development dated August 7, 2024 noting the City Council’s vote to decline funds for Fresno’s Quality Inn Homekey project. The Technical Assistance letter analyzed the impact of this action in relation to the City’s obligation to Affirmatively Further Fair Housing and requested that the City strengthen program commitments to discourage similar decisions in the future. A requirement has been adde d to Program 2 -Variety of Housing Opportunities in High Resource Areas to include in project approval documents a statement of the City’s obligation to Affirmatively Further Fair Housing and an accompanying analysis of project consistency with the law.

Housing Sites Analysis
State housing element law, Government Code Section 65583(c)(10), requires that the sites inventory (see Section 1E-2) be analyzed with respect to AFFH to ensure that affordable housing is dispersed equitably throughout the city rather than concentrated in areas of high segregation and poverty or low resource areas that have historically been underserved. By comparing the sites inventory to the fair housing indicators in this assessment, this section analyzes whether the sites included in the Housing Element sites inventory improve or exacerbate fair housing conditions, patterns of segregation, and access to opportunity throughout the city.

As determined by the Fresno Council of Governments (FCOG), t he City of Fresno ’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) is a total of 36,866 new housing units. This RHNA includes 9,440 very low- income units, 5,884 low-, 5,638 moderate-, and 15,904 above moderate-income units. Note that the City’s extremely low-income RHNA is equal to 50 percent of the very low-income RHNA allocation (4,720 units).

Within the city limits, available vacant and underutilized sites are adequate to accommodate the RHNA for all income categories. A summary of Fresno’s ability to meet the 2023 -2031 RHNA of 36,866 housing units is provided in Section 1E-2: Sites Inventory. Using data and research from the HCD AFFH Data and Mapping Tool 1.0, Table 1E-3.22 presents the housing unit capacity and existing conditions as they relate to indicators of fair housing analyzed in this assessment for each census tract in the city. For more information about the indicators, refer to the local assessment discussed previously in this chapter.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-3-141 There are 135 census tracts in the city. Figure 1E-3.44 displays the housing capacity identified in the sites inventory relative to the city’s census tracts. The housing capacity identified in the Draft Housing Element is generally distributed throughout the city with the greatest opportunities in the Downtown , along commercial corridors designated for mixed use development, and in the new growth areas at the periphery of the city. As shown in Figure 1E-3.45, the West Area contains the most capacity from the inventory (26 percent of the total identified capacity) followed by Downtown (20 percent), the Southwest Fresno Specific Plan area (16 percent), and the Roosevelt Community Plan area (14 percent). The distribution of sites across the city displays a concentration of lower-income housing in areas like Downtown and the West Area, while other areas like McLane and Woodward Park have a higher proportion of moderate and above moderate - income housing, reflecting an unequal distribution of housing capacity across the city. This has the potential to exacerbate fair h ousing issues in Fresno by providing more capacity for lower -income housing in disproportionately impacted communities. The Housing Element includes several policies and programs to address these issues (see Table 1E-3.28 at the end of this section for a summary of these actions).

Relative to all of the census tracts within the city, two census tracts have slightly higher concentrations than the rest. These are census tracts 38.12 and 42.18 which account for 9.2 percent and 10.7 percent of the housing capacity for the Draft Housing Element respectively. These tracts are located west of Highway 99 within the West Area. The West Area is one of the City’s new growth areas in which the City is preparing a Specific Plan that provides significant opportunities for new higher density, mixed use neighborhoods, which will be integrated with the urbanized areas of Fresno to the east through future BRT corridors.

Census tract 38.12, on the periphery of the West Area, is largely vacant land zoned to accommodate medium density residential single -family development (RS -5 zoning), but also contains zoning for higher density multi-family housing. The inventory identifies capacity for 525 lower-income units, 244 moderate-income units, and 3,235 above moderate - income units in tract 38.12. It is a high resource area and there is a substantial amount of developable land in the area. The majority of the population in this ce nsus tract is Hispanic/Latino, although there are only about 539 existing households in the census tract. Median incomes typically average between $100,000 and $149,000. Although it is classified as high resource, it is also designated as an SB 35 Disadvantaged Community (DAC). This is in line with an estimated 85 perce nt of the city’s land area being designated as a DAC. The addition of housing units in this census tract on sites identified in the Housing Element inventory will likely improve performance indicators.

1E-3-144 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 Census tract 42.18 is in the boundaries of the proposed West Area Neighborhood Specific Plan (WANSP).

The Housing Element inventory identifies capacity for 2,032 lower-income units, 1,937 moderate-income units, and 695 above moderate- income units in tract 42.18. Given the significant amount of land zoned for high-density mixed use in this area, this is where the highest portion of the capacity for lower - and moderate-income units are. In total, there is capacity for 3,227 units included in the sites invent ory in the West Shaw Avenue Town Center alone, including 1,177 lower-income, 1,585 moderate-income, and 395 above moderate-income units. Because the area has been and continues to transition from agriculture to urban development, many of the sites are larger in size than sites in other parts of the city. Approximately 1,853 people currently live in this census tract; households are predominantly Hispanic/Latino with mostly moderate- and lower- income households. Median incomes are generally moderate (exactl y or within the range of $87,101-$99,999) and lower income (less than $50,000). The Town Center provides an opportunity for more rental developments at higher densities that could produce affordable housing units for lower- and moderate- income households. There is a substantial amount of developable land in the area, and it is currently designated moderate resource. The addition of a Town Center also provides foundations to increase access to opportunities, amenities, and resources.

Sites in the inventory are also distributed throughout the city’s established neighborhoods north and south of Shaw Avenue. This includes in the Hoover community area, the Fresno High -Roeding community, McLane, and Roosevelt community. As there is little v acant land for new development in these neighborhoods, they contribute minimally to the overall housing capacity identified in the Housing Element inventory. For example, approximately 2 percent of the total inventory identified is in Fresno High - Roeding, comprising 1 percent of the lower -income capacity, 3 percent of the moderate-income capacity, and 2 percent of the above moderate -income capacity. Moreover, the Hoover and McLane communities account for 4 percent and 5 percent of the inventory respectively (see Table 1E-3.23).

With regards to fair housing indicators, the established neighborhoods north of Shaw Avenue –including the Woodward Park, Bullard, and Hoover communities – have higher percentages of White residents with higher household incomes. According to the TCAC Opportunity Index, these communities have greater life outcomes for children from lower income ho useholds. Educational outcomes are higher in these communities than other areas of the city, there is greater labor market engagement, and environmental conditions are generally better. While the capacity in these areas is less than other community plan areas in the city, Table 1E-3.23 shows that the Housing Element identifies capacity for over 7,500 new housing units in the Woodward Park, Bullard, and Hoover community plan areas including an estimated 4,500 for lower-income households. More affordable housing in these areas will provide greater access to opportunity for lower-income residents.

In the established neighborhoods south of Shaw Avenue –including Fresno High -Roeding and McClane neighborhoods—fair housing indicators convey moderate fair housing conditions. These communities have a greater amount of diversity and are more racially integrated, as shown in Figure 1E-3.3 previously in this section. However, there are higher poverty rates than in northern Fresno neighborhoods. Fresno High - Roeding and McClane also contain several of the city’s identified R/ECAP areas. Notably, the eastern portion of McClane does not follow the same trends. Fair housing conditions in the eastern McClane community plan area reflect more positive outcomes that are in line with North Fresno and Clovis neighborhoods (e.g., it is classified as a RCAA as opposed to a R/ECAP, there are higher TCAC opportunity scores, fewer disproportionate housing needs, and less risk of displacement). About 12 percent of the moderate-income capacity (740 units) is identified in McLane which reflects the amount of area zoned for multi-family residential with densities below 30 units per acre. The addition of moderate -income housing is not likely to impact fair housing conditions in the McLane community. Depending on the type of housing that is built, it may alleviate pressure for housin g in the developed core of the city. The Fresno High - Roeding community area has minimal housing capacity identified across all income levels in the Housing Element inventory.

SECTION 1E-3: LOCAL ASSESSMENT OF FAIR HOUSING
1E-3-146 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 The City’s developed core neighborhoods – including Downtown and the Southwest Fresno Specific Plan area – have the poorest fair housing conditions. These communities contain the majority of the City’s R/ECAP areas as well as areas classified as high segre gation and poverty by the 2021 TCAC Opportunity Index. Fair housing indicators show that there are higher rates of overcrowding and housing cost burden as well as higher percentages of Housing Choice Voucher usage in these communities. In addition, there i s lower academic performance, fewer educational resources, low engagement with the labor market, and very poor environmental conditions. In fact, nearly 70 census tracts in Fresno are considered a SB 35 disadvantaged community, comprising an estimated 85 percent of the city’s land area.37F 38 Downtown Fresno,
with its high density of housing and commercial activity, faces challenges such as air pollution, noise, and limited green spaces. The concentration of traffic and industrial activities contributes to higher levels of air pollutants, which can adversely affect residents' health. However, efforts to revitalize Downtown, including the introduction of more green spaces and improved public transportation, aim to mitigate these environmental health issues and make the area more livable.

In the Southwest Fresno Specific Plan area, environmental health conditions are impacted and often more severe. This area has historically been home to a higher concentration of industrial facilities and lower - income housing, leading to issues such as poor air quality, soil contamination, and inadequate access to clean water and green spaces. Residents in this area are more likely to be exposed to environmental hazards, which can have significant impacts on health outcomes. Given the proximity to industrial uses, the City reviewed sites in the inventory adjacent to existing industrial uses , specifically near State Route 41, and removed those sites which would be most impacted during the timeframe of this Housing Element. These conditions present challenges for increasing housing capacity, as new developments must address and mitigate these environmental health risks to create safe and healthy living environments.

As shown in Table 1E-3.23, both Downtown and the Southwest Fresno specific plan area contain a high capacity of the sites inventoried in this Housing Element. This includes 27 percent of the lower -income capacity and 20 percent of the above moderate -income capacity identified in t he Downtown Community Plan area; and, 14 percent of the lower -income capacity and 16 percent of the above moderate income capacity in the Southwest Fresno Specific Plan area. While new lower income housing in these areas could help to alleviate the demand for housing in communities that are already experiencing poverty, it could reinforce patterns of concentrated poverty in these areas. Both Downtown and Southwest Fresno are susceptible to displacement pressure as new developments a re built. There are about 7,380 units of above moderate-income housing inventoried in the Housing Element in these communities. Consequently, future development has the potential to exacerbate disproportionate housing needs including risk of displacement.

Notably, the capacity for higher density development can provide affordable housing for lower -income households and more options to mitigate displacement for residents.

38 Under Senate Bill (SB) 535, a disadvantaged community includes census tracts receiving the highest 25 percent of overall scores in CalEnviroScreen 4.0. Refer to page 1E-3-52 for more discuss of SB 535 Disadvantaged Communities in Fresno.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-3-147 With regards to environmental health conditions, new higher density developments in the Southwest Fresno Specific Plan area could contribute to alleviating some of the existing environmental health issues, creating more sustainable and healthy urban enviro nments. For example, new developments can integrate green infrastructure, such as parks, green roofs, and community gardens, which help improve air quality, manage stormwater, and provide residents with recreational spaces. This can mitigate urban heat island effects and improve overall environmental health. The Southwest Specific Plan, adopted in 2017, reimagines this area as transitioning from industrial to a series of small, complete neighborhoods made up of community -serving uses, including retail, a range of housing types, a school, and a park. In addition, the Southwest Fresno Specific Plan prohibits new industrial development near residential areas in the Specific Plan area to the maximum extent feasible and instead the zoning encourages complete neig hborhoods that incorporate mixed-use designs, where residential, commercial, and recreational spaces are within walking distance. This can reduce the need for driving, lowering traffic congestion and vehicle emissions, thus improving air quality. As it transitions from industrial uses to complete neighborhoods, the City recognizes that there are land use incompatibilities that could have negative impacts. For this reason, the City reviewed sites for the Housing Element inventory closely and removed sites that would be most impacted by existing industrial uses in the short term. As the Housing Element is implemented, it will be essential that new developments are planned and executed with a strong focus on environmental and public health to maximize their positive impact.

Potential Effects on Integration Trends
Race and Ethnicity
The population in the city of Fresno is predominantly Hispanic/Latino (50 percent) and White (26 percent).

As described previously, neighborhoods north of Shaw Avenue are predominantly White households and neighborhoods south of Shaw , western neighborhoods, and the Downtown/Fulton corridor area are predominantly Hispanic/Latino. Figure 1E-3.46 displays the housing capacity identified in this Housing Element by the racial/ethnic majority of each census tract. The housing capacity includes approximately 37,365 units in areas that are predominately Hispanic/Latino households (86 percent of the total capacity), and 6,147 units in areas that are predominantly occupied by White households (14 percent). As the established neighborhoods north of Shaw Av enue – including the Woodward Park, Bullard, and Hoover communities – continue to experience growth, there are opportunities for increased diversity with the addition of housing for lower income households. The Housing Element identifies capacity for over 7,500 new housing units in the Woodward Park, Bullard, and Hoover community plan areas for this planning period. About 4,500 of those are identified for lower -income households (see Table 1E-3.23). Additional lower-income housing units can provide options to increase housing mobility for lower-income non-White households in R/ECAPs and thereby increase diversity in the neighborhoods north of Shaw Avenue and improve conditions of segregation based on race and ethnicity . The California State University (CSU) Fresno campus is also adjacent to these established neighborhoods, so more development will provide additional housing opportunities for college students and faculty. The additional capacity identified for housing in the rest of the city will not substantially impact trends of integration given the predominance of non-White households throughout the city already.

Income
As was shown in the assessment above, most neighborhoods are composed of lower- and moderate- income households. In 2020, Fresno’s citywide median household income was $53,368. Neighborhoods north of Shaw Avenue, including portions of the Bullard and West community areas, have the highest median incomes.

Otherwise, most census block groups in the city have higher rates of poverty with household incomes that fall below the statewide median. As displayed in Table 1E-3.22 above, the typical income range across many census tracts in the city is less than $50,000 or in the range of $50,001 to $87,100. In fact, 47 percent of census tracts in the city have median incomes below $ 50,000 and 33 percent have median incomes between $ 50,000 and $87,100, meaning that in total 81 percent of census tracts have median incomes below the statewide median.

Less than 9 percent of census tracts in Fresno have median incomes above $100,000. As shown in Table 1E-

3.24 below, which displays the housing capacity for this Housing Element by 2019 median incomes, about half of the inventoried capacity for new housing (21,939 units) is in neighborhoods with incomes less than $50,000, which mirrors the percentage of census tracts in this income range. Figure 1E-3.47 shows this information. The distribution is largely due to the capacity for new housing in core activity centers where there is significant capacity for high-density infill housing, but existing household incomes are relatively low. This is followed by an additional 8,297 units in census tracts with incomes between $50,001 and $87,100 (19 percent) and 6,984 units in tracts with incomes between $100,000-$149,999 (16 percent). Relative to the percentage of census tracts in the higher income range, the sites inventory distributes a larger share of units to higher income census tracts relative to the percentage of tracts in this income category. This is reflective of the large number of sites in new growth areas at the periphery of the city with higher median incomes. 16,183

Looking more closely at the distribution of sites by income category, the lower-income sites are slightly more concentrated in lower-income census tracts compared to the moderate - and above moderate-income sites.

About 53 percent of the lower-income capacity is in census tracts where the median income is below $50,000, compared to 52 percent of the above moderate-income capacity also in these areas, while only 10 percent of the lower-income site capacity is in tracts with median incomes above $100,000, compared to 27 percent of the above moderate-income capacity. The moderate-income capacity is fairly well distributed across census tracts by income. To address this disparity, the Housing Element includes a program to expand capacity for lower-income and missing middle housing types in traditionally single -family neighborhoods and high resource areas, which correspond with areas that are relatively higher income ( Program 2). To improve economic opportunities, reduce poverty, and increase financial stability, the Housing Element also includes a program to provide targeted job training opportunities for residents (Program 30).

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-3-151 Concentrated Areas of Race and Income
Based on available data using 2009-2013 ACS information, 39 census tracts were designated as R/ECAPs in the city of Fresno, which are neighborhoods where there are both racial concentrations and high poverty rates. As shown in Figure 1E-4.48, R/ECAPs are generally in more centralized parts of the city. The Housing Element identifies capacity for 13,410 units in R/ECAP areas, including 7,895 lower-, 1,182 moderate- and 4,333 above-moderate income units (Figure 1E-3.49). This accounts for 42 percent of the lower -income capacity, 18 percent of the moderate -income capacity, and 24 percent of the above moderate -income capacity. The reason that a large portion of the lower-income RHNA is accommodated within areas classified as R/ECAPs is because of City policies to encourage high density housing close to the central core of the city in proximity to jobs and transit. Program 28 (Equitable Community Investments) of this Housing Element, consistent with other policies in the General Plan, prioritizes reinvestment in the city’s core areas.

It includes the Downtown Neighborhoods Community Plan Area, Phase 1 and Phase 2 Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and High-Frequency Transit Corridors, Infill Opportunity Zones (IOZs)— which have been defined as established neighborhoods generally south of Herndon Avenue —and the South Industrial Area. These areas align closely with census tracts designated as concentrated areas of poverty. Incentivizing new residential development, expanding transit options, stimulating economic development, and business and job creation will contribute to a higher quality of life for existing and future residents of the city’s core areas.

There are 19 census tracts in Fresno that are designated as RCAAs , which are neighborhoods where there are both high concentrations of White households and high household incomes . As shown in Figure 1E-

3.50, areas of affluence are primarily in areas within the city SOI but located in unincorporated islands or new growth areas north of Nees Avenue. The sites inventory includes capacity for 2,993 housing units in these areas of affluence, as shown in Figure 1E-3.48, including capacity for 2,132 above moderate-income units, 256 moderate-income units, and 606 lower-income units. The capacity identified in areas designated as RCAAs is predominantly for above-moderate income units.

To address the concentration of lower-income unit capacity in R/ECAPs and the lack of lower-income housing opportunity in RCAAs, t he Housing Element includes a program to identify additional sites or rezoning options for land in high resource areas to provide opportunities for higher density development in all areas of the city and reduce concentrations of poverty (Program 2). This includes developing zoning standards to permit residential conversions in the Office Zone District and facilitating the development of missing middle and multi-unit housing types such as duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, townhomes, and SB 9 lot splits.

Fresno has a mix of low -resource, moderate-resource, and high or highest resources areas. There are also several areas categorized as high segregation and poverty. Growth areas on the periphery of established neighborhoods along the northern and eastern edges of the city are designated moderate and high resource, including an annexation area, designated as highest. The central portion o f the city is designated as low resource and high segregation and poverty. Table 1E-3.25 displays the sum of census tracts in the city SOI by TCAC classification.

Figure 1E-3.51 below estimates the number of housing units in each opportunity area. Generally, the sites inventory adds more housing in all resource areas. The most housing capacity is estimated in high or highest resource areas and areas of high segregation and poverty, which is consistent with the bulk of developable areas in Fresno (see Figure 1E-3.52). In total, t he inventory includes capacity for approximately 12,818 units in high or highest resource areas (29 percent of the total capacity) , 8,302 units in moderate resource areas (19 percent of the total capacity), 5,844 units in low resource areas (13 percent of the total capacity), and approximately 15,258 units in areas of high segregation and poverty (35 percent of the total capacity).

One census tract (census tract 1.00 in the Downtown development area) does not have any data associated with it from the TCAC/HCD Opportunity Mapping tool, and this accounts for 1,291 units from the Housing Element inventory (3 percent of the total capacity).

Over half of the a bove moderate-income housing capacity ( 53 percent) is in low resource areas and areas of high segregation and poverty, combined, creating opportunities to balance the concentration of poverty in these areas of the city with higher income households. Conversely, about 25 percent of the lower-income housing capacity is in high and highest resource areas, compared to 38 percent of the above moderate - income housing capacity. This is largely due to the predominance of single-family zoning in neighborhoods north of Shaw Avenue. Program 2, described above, has been added to the Housing Element to address this disparity by expanding opportunities for lower - and moderate -income housing in high and highest resource areas.

Cost Burden or Overpayment
Across all census tracts, the average percent of housing cost burdened populations is between 40 and 60 percent for renters and 20 to 40 percent for homeowners. Table 1E-3.26 and Table 1E-3.27 below display where housing capacity exists relative to housing cost burden. Approximately 25,336 units (58 percent) of the housing capacity is identified in tracts with a renter overpayment between 40 and 60 percent; 8,852 units (20 percent) of the capacity is in tracts with rates between 60 and 80 percent; and 8,989 units (21 percent) are in tracts with rates above 80 percent. The majority of capacity for lower income units (63 percent) is within census tracts where 40 to 60 percent of renters are overpaying for housing, primarily located in southwest, southeast, west, and central Fresno. The capacity for lower income households in these areas can facilitate housing mobility opportunities for renters who need more affordable options to avoid displacement and homelessness. With regards to overpayment for homeowners, more than half ( 55 percent) of the capacity in the inventory is in areas where 20 to 40 percent of homeowners are overpaying for housing. As shown in Table 1E-3.27, this includes 9,360 lower-income units, 3,283 moderate-income units, and 11,403 above moderate-income units. The addition of these units could help to alleviate existing overpayment by offering lower- and moderate-income units to current and future residents where there is need and increasing the housing stock overall to alleviate the demand on an existing shortage of housing at affordable price points. Additionally, the site capacity and distribution of units by income category can facilitate mobility opportunities for all households.

Displacement
As described above, a substantial amount of the city land area is vulnerable to displacement pressure using the methodology from UC Berkeley’s Urban Displacement Project . There are 77 cen sus tracts in the city that are considered susceptible to displacement risk, making up more than half of the city (57 percent).

Figures 1E-3.53 and 1E-3.54 below display the quantity and location of the sites inventory capacity relative to displacement risk in Fresno. The inventory provides a substantial capacity for new housing in areas identified as vulnerable. This includes capacity for 11,484 lower income units and 9,588 above-moderate income units in areas that are susceptible to displacement. Although the addition of lower-income housing should alleviate some of the pressures of displacemen t, the Action Plan also includes Program 34 – Eviction Protection Program to protect tenants from eviction and displacement pressures.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-3-161 Fair Housing Issues, Contributing Factors, Meaningful Actions HCD defines a fair housing issue as “a condition in a geographic area of analysis that restricts fair housing choice or access to opportunity, which includes such conditions as ongoing local or regional segregation or lack of integration, racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty and affluence, significant disparities in access to opportunity, disproportionate housing need s, and evidence of discrimination or violations of civil rights law or regulations related to housing.” In Fresno, there are substantial barriers to homeownership especially for communities of color and lower income households as denoted by lower income households, POC households, and individuals living below the poverty line concentrated in south and west neighborhoods in the city. Fresno has concentrated areas of poverty and many of these same census tracts have been identified as R/ECAPs or designated as “Low Resource” or “High Segregation & Poverty” by the HCD/TCAC Opportunity mapping methodology. In addition, most of the city is considered vulnerable to displacement from housing market pressures and poor environmental quality, or impacts from extreme heat and climate change. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65583 (c)(10)(A)(v), the Housing Element includes several policies and programs to work towards addressing fair housing issues and replac ing segregated living patterns with integrated and balanced communities. Table 1E-3.28 below summarizes the fair housing issues, contributing factors, and implementation programs included in the Housing Element to affirmatively further fair housing in the city of Fresno. For more details on the actions in each implementation program, refer to Section 1E-1: Action Plan.

Land Use Controls
Analysis
General Plan
The Fresno General Plan sets forth policies that guide new development, including new residential development. As described in the Urban Form, Land Use, and Design Element, growth in the City of Fresno over the past few decades has traditionally been low density suburban style development, which has resulted in conditions of sprawl in various areas of the city. With the adoption of an updated General Plan in 2014, the City shifted emphasis to encourage more balanced development patterns between low density suburban growth and higher density urban development to establish complete communities through the following:
infill, rehabilitation, Downtown and neighborhood revitalization, transit-oriented development along major streets, and mixed-uses in growth areas. Table 1E-4.1 summarizes the General Plan land use designations within the city that allow residential uses and corresponding zoning district s from the Development Code, as well as their permitted net densities (without application of a density bonus).

Zoning and Development Code
The City’s Development Code provides for the following districts to permit residential uses including the Buffer1 designation, six single-family districts, four multi -family districts, three mixed -use districts, three downtown districts, and two commercial districts. These districts are designed to implement the General Plan vision for new infill and redevelopment, transit-oriented development along major streets, and new Activity Centers with mixed-uses and neighborhoods in growth areas. ▪ Residential Single-Family Districts (RE, RS-1, RS-2, RS-3, RS-4, RS-5) -- The Residential zones are intended to provide specific areas in the city where residential developments of varying densities may be developed as specified in the land use element of the General Plan. ▪ Residential Multi -Family Districts (RM-1, RM -2, RM -3, RM -MH) -- The purpose of the Residential Multi -Family (RM) Districts are to provide opportunities for the development of higher-density and affordable housing in neighborhoods throughout the city implementing regulations for "Medium High Density Residential," "U rban Neighborhood Density Residential," and "High Density Residential" General Plan classifications.

1 The Buffer land use designation in the City of Fresno General Plan, Urban Form, Land Use, and Design Element is intended to separate urban uses from long -term agricultural uses in order to preserve long -term viable agricultural areas and intensive farming operations adjoining but outside the Planning Area.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-4-3 ▪ NMX Neighborhood Mixed -Use -- The NMX district is intended to provide for mixed -use residential districts that include local -serving, pedestrian-oriented commercial development, such as smaller independent retail shops and professional offices in two - to three -story buildings.

Development is expected to include ground-floor neighborhood retail uses and upper-level housing or offices, with a mix of small lot single -family houses, townhomes, and multi -family dwelling units on side streets, in a horizontal or vertical mixed-use orientation. The maximum FAR for non- residential development is 1.5.2
▪ CMX Corridor/Center Mixed-Use -- The CMX district is intended to allow for either horizontal or vertical mixed -use development along key circulation corridors in the city where height and density can be easily accommodated. Ground-floor retail and upper-floor residential or offices are the primary uses, with residential uses, personal and business services, and public and institutional space as supportive uses. The maximum FAR for non-residential development is 1.5. ▪ RMX Regional Mixed-Use -- The RMX district is intended to support regional retail and mixed - use development in large-scale activity centers outside of Downtown, as identified by the General Plan. It accommodates urban-scale mixed-use development that serve residents and busines ses of the region at large. Medium-scale retail, housing, office, civic and entertainment uses, and shopping malls with large-format or "big-box" retail are allowed, as are supporting uses such as gas stations, hotels, and residential in mixed-use or single-use buildings. The maximum FAR for non-residential development is 2.0
▪ DTN Downtown Neighborhood -- The DTN District is intended to create walkable, mixed -use urban neighborhoods surrounding the Downtown Core.
▪ DTG Downtown General -- The DTG District is intended to support a high concentration of regional activity generators such as governmental buildings and convention centers within a pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use urban setting.
▪ DTC Downtown Core -- The DTC District will foster the enhancement of Fresno's business, shopping, and cultural heart by guiding the development of the densest, most active, and most interesting mixed-use urban center in the region.
▪ CMS Commercial - Main Street -- The CMS district is intended to preserve or promote small - scale, fine-grain commercial development in neighborhoods where single -family residential and townhomes are predominant. A traditional "Main Street" character is achieved with active storefronts, outdoor seating and pedestrian-oriented design.

2 Per Zoning Code Section 15 -309 (Determining Floor Area Ratio), “ Floor area ratio (FAR) is the measure of the intensity of non-residential development. It is the ratio of the non-residential floor area, excluding the areas described below, of all principal and accessory buildings on a site to the site area. To calculate FAR, non-residential floor area is divided by site area, and typically expressed as a decimal. For example, if the non -residential floor area of all buildings on a site totals 20,000 square feet, and the site area is 10,000 square feet, the FAR is expressed as 2.0.”

SECTION 1E-4: CONSTRAINTS
1E-4-4 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 ▪ CR Commercial – Regional -- The CR district is intended to meet local and regional retail demand, such as large-scale retail, office, civic and entertainment uses, shopping malls with large- format or "big -box" retail, and supporting uses such as gas stations and hotels. Buildings are typically larger -footprint and urban -scaled. Development and design standards will create a pedestrian-orientation within centers and along major corridors, with parking generally on the side or rear of major buildings, but aut omobile-oriented uses also will be accommodated on identified streets and frontages.

Downtown Development Code
The Downtown Development Code (DDC) is a form‐based code that contains most of the standards and requirements for development and land use activity within the Downtown Neighborhoods Community Plan and Fulton Corridor Specific Plan areas. Regulations regarding development patterns are generally consistent with the existing scale and character of the plan areas’ various neighborhoods districts and corridors. Form‐based codes address the relationship between building facades and the public realm (streets and parks), the form and massing of buildings in relation to one another, and the scale and types of streets and blocks. The City incorporated the DDC into the Citywide Development Code in 2016 and implements these form-based standards through the DTN, DTC, and DTG zoning district standards.

Residential Development Standards
Table 1E-4.2 lists the zoning districts from the City of Fresno Development Code that allow residential development and describes the development standards for residential projects. Zoning regulations are designed to implement the policies of the City’s General Plan and protect and promote health, safety, and general welfare of residents. The Code sets forth the City’s specific residential development standards to preserve the character and integrity of existing neighborhoods and at the same time offer flex ibility in providing a wide range of residential opportunities and dwelling unit types. The section below provides an overview of primary development standards that affect the maximum development intensity of a housing project, including density, height, setbacks, parking, and open space requirements.

To accelerate housing production in infill areas and incentivize investment along the City’s transit and mixed-use corridors, the City adopted amendments to: (1) remove maximum density limitations in the Mixed Use Districts and (2) modify the restriction that prohibits ground floor residential uses in mixed-use districts so that only corner properties along arterials with Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) stops will have mandated commercial uses. With those amendments, the City now relies on height limits rather than regulating density. This action was intended to encourage higher density development in mixed -use districts.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-4-5 Prior to adoption, the City performed an analysis of a typical development project comparing the existing density limits with the new height-based limits to determine how this change could affect project buildouts.

For the purpose of the environmental analysis, consultants analyzed 10 parcels (2 within each district) and applied the applicable development standards for the corresponding zone district to create conceptual site plans. It was determined that the followi ng are reasonable densities that would be developed based on typical multi-family and mixed-use developments built in Fresno:
▪ CMS: 48 dwelling units per acre
▪ CMX: 75 dwelling units per acre
▪ CR: 80 dwelling units per acre
▪ NMX: 64 dwelling units per acre
▪ RMX: 90 dwelling units per acre

Notes: Densities in the Residential Single-Family Districts are based on corresponding land use designation in the Fresno General Plan. For Mixed Use zones, minimum residential density is not required for projects on lots less than 20,000 sq. ft. in area or projects further than 1,000 feet from a planned or existing BRT route. For mixed-use and commercial districts, all permitted uses are allowed either alone or in combination with other permitted uses unless otherwise stated.

SECTION 1E-4: CONSTRAINTS
1E-4-8 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 The environmental assessment prepared for the projects estimated that there are approximately 791 acres of mixed-use zoned property that has the potential to be developed in the next few decades. These 791 acres consist of land that is considered vacant an d underutilized and includes parcels that have an existing land use of ‘vacant ,’ ‘parking,’ or ‘open space/ag’ per City of Fresno Existing Land Use layer. Based on this acreage and the reasonable densities identified above, the potential development of residential units that could result from the amendment would be 60,880 units, as compared to the previous 20,434-unit capacity (see Table 1E-4.3).

Note: The numbers are rounded to the nearest whole number.

Source: City of Fresno Mitigated Negative Declaration for General Plan Amendment/Development Code Text Amendment Application No. P22-02413 Environmental Assessment. August 2022.

As mentioned above, the text amendment revised the restriction that prohibits ground floor residential uses in mixed-use districts so that only corner properties along arterials with BRT stops will have mandated commercial uses. Other high -activity uses may be approved at the discretion of the Review Authority.

However, this does not impose a constraint on housing development in these areas because larger multi - family developments can be activated with active ground floor additions or a residential lobby.

Lot Sizes
Density in single-family zones is driven by the minimum lot area requirements. The lot size requirements in single family zones typically reflect the development pattern of the surrounding subdivision. Lot sizes range from a minimum of 5 acres in the RE zone , 36,000 square feet in the RS -1 zone, and 4,000 square feet in the RS-5 zone. There are no minimum lot area requirements for multi-family and mixed-use zones except in the CR district, where the minimum lot area is 10,000 square feet.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-4-9 Per State law, local governments may not impose minimum lot size requirements on accessory dwelling units (ADUs) (referred to as second units in the Fresno Development Code) since these development types are not required to observe minimum lot size requirements for the underlying zoning district. Currently (2022), the City states the following minimum lot sizes for these units: 6,200 square feet for second dwelling units, 6,000 square feet for an interior lot and 5,000 square feet for a corner size lot for backyard cottages, and 5,000 square feet for accessory living quarters. This language pre-dates the adoption of the State laws, therefore the City defers to the State regulations when reviewing ADU applications. The Housing Element includes a program to amend these standards for second units, backyard cottages, accessory living quarters and SB 9 units (i.e., accessory dwelling units (ADUs).

Maximum Floor Area Ratio
The City does not have maximum floor area ratio (FAR) requirements for residential uses in residential zones, as it is typically the measure of the intensity of non -residential development. However, the Development Code and General Plan do have standards that limit FAR in the mixed-use zones. The total allowable FAR per lot includes the floor area of residential units. ▪ CMS: Maximum FAR of 1.0
▪ CMX: Maximum FAR of 1.5
▪ CR: Maximum FAR of 1.0
▪ NMX: Maximum FAR of 1.5
▪ RMX: Maximum FAR of 2.0
Height Requirements
Height limitations are intended to allow projects to achieve the maximum allowable density, while also being responsive to community character. The districts that provide the highest densities for residential development also provide for the highest maximum heights. The maximum height in all residential single-family districts, including the mobile home residential district (RM-MH), is 35 feet, which allows for three stories.

Developments in multi-family districts have the following height limits: 40 feet in the RM-1 district; 50 feet in RM-2; and 60 feet in RM-3. These height limits allow for the maximum densities to be achieved in each zone. With a minor deviation, an applicant can add up to 10 percent to a building’s height and with the approval of a Planned Development (PD) Permit, additional deviations from the Development Code and/or General Plan could also be permitted. Developments in Mixed Use Districts have the following height limits:
40 feet in the NMX; 60 feet in CMX; and 75 feet in RMX. Commercial districts allowing for mixed uses including residential development permit buildings up to 35 feet in the CMS zone and 75 feet in the CR zone.

This could include small-scale development such as attached single-family residential and townhomes.

Downtown Districts allow the most intense development patterns. Height limits are: 90 feet in DTN (approximately 6 stories), 140 feet in DTG (approximately 10 stories), and 190 feet in DTC (approximately 15 stories). These height standards allow for a range of high-density housing types in the Downtown.

SECTION 1E-4: CONSTRAINTS
1E-4-10 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 Setbacks
A setback is the required minimum or maximum horizontal distance between the front, sides, and rear of the lot to the building. The City’s setback standards are comparable to those of other jurisdictions and are not a constraint to achieving maximum densities. In RS Districts, front setbacks range from 13 feet in the RS-4 and RS-5 zones to 35 feet in the RE and RS -1 zones. Rear setbacks range from 10 feet in RS-4 and RS-5 zones to 20 feet in the rest of the RS zones. S ide setbacks in the RS Districts vary from 3 to 35 feet.

Downtown, Mixed -Use, and Commercial zones allowing residential development have lower front age setbacks, averaging about 10 feet , with no rear property setback requirements in mixed use zones or a minimum of 0 feet in downtown and commercial zones. Side property setbacks range from 0 feet in Mixed- Use Districts to 15 feet in the CR district.

Parking
Table 1E-4.4 shows the residential parking requirements in Fresno. The City determines the required number of parking spaces based on the type and size of the residential unit and has found the required parking spaces to be necessary to accommodate the number of vehicles typically associated with each residence.

Requirements for covered parking spaces or garage parking are due in large part to the climate of Fresno and extreme heat events. With the passage of AB 2097 in 2022, the City cannot impose minimum parking requirements on projects within a half mile of public trans it if the project (1) dedicates a minimum of 20 percent of the total number of housing units to very low-, low-, or moderate-income households for students, the elderly, or persons with disabilities, (2) contains fewer than 20 housing units, or (3) is subject to parking reductions based on any other applicable law. Public transit in this case is defined as a major transit stop with an intersection of 2 or more high frequency bus route stops with a frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less during the morning and afternoon peak commute periods . Figure 1E-4.1 shows the areas within the city that would be subject to AB 2097 in relation to the sites inventory. Areas subject to AB 2097 in the northern part of the city are north of Herndon Avenue between N. Blackstone Avenue and State Route (SR) 41, and along Shaw Avenue at N Blackstone Avenue, First Street, and Cedar Avenue. Additional areas exist Downtown, in and around the Downtown Transit Center, and in the South Industrial area along E Jensen Avenue.

The Housing Element includes a program to amend the Development Code to remove parking minimums within a half mile of public transit, consistent with AB 2097. Parking requirements for ADUs, emergency shelters, and transitional and supportive housing are inconsistent with current (2023) state law therefore the Housing Element includes a program to amend parking requirements for these uses. Additionally, parking for emergency shelters should be based on staffing at the shelter at a rate of one space per employee . The City provides several reductions in parking requirements, including for affordable housing developments (up to 2-bedroom units), mixed-use residential uses (up to 1-bedroom units), specific multi-family developments with transit accessibility, and deve lopments that have shared parking. Residential care developments are eligible for these parking reductions; however, feedback from recent developers state that while the parking reduction is advantageous, the overall number of parking required before and after reduction is high. In response to this feedback, the City has added an action to reduce the parking standard for Residential Care, General.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-4-13 Open Spaces and Parks
All new residential developments have an obligation to provide parkland and/or contribute to the development and maintenance of parks consistent with the Quimby Act . Fresno City Code requires that a minimum of 3 acres per 1,000 population be set aside for parks. Pursuant to State law, in -lieu fees may be paid instead of land dedication. The Park Quimby Fee is $1,542 per unit for single-family dwellings and $1,164 per unit for multi -family dwellings. Article 4.7 Section 12 -4.705 states that single -family developments with fewer than 50 parcels shall be responsible for paying the park fee but not for dedicating land. Subdivisions with 50 parcels or more shall pay the fee and dedicate 0.6 acres per 1,000 residents in the form of pocket parks.

Residential developments are required to set aside specific minimum areas of the lot as usable open space, which may include balconies and up to 50 percent of the area in required yards. In Residential Multi-Family (RM) districts, commercial districts allowing residential development (CMS and CR), Mixed -Use (MX) districts, and Downtown (DT) districts, the minimum requirement for on-site open space is based on the size of the lot, as shown in Table 1E-4.5. These requirements may be met through a combination of private open space, common open space, or public plazas.

SECTION 1E-4: CONSTRAINTS
1E-4-14 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 The minimum amount of open space required in DT and MX districts could be reduced by 25 percent in the following circumstances:
▪ Any portion of the lot is located within 400 feet of a transit stop with regular, scheduled service. ▪ There is a public park within 400 feet of the site, or ▪ The parcel is 15,000 square feet or less in area.

These requirements are in addition to park in-lieu fees which contribute to the public park system. Overall, these open space requirements and the park in-lieu fees do not represent excessive constraints on residential development. The City provides flexibility in how developers can meet the open space requirements.

Additional Standards in Mixed Use Districts
On October 13, 2022, the City adopted the Mixed -Use General Plan and Development Code Text Amendments to modify the development standards for MX Districts and encourage new residential development. Additional standards were added under Section 15 -1106 as part of this action. Under these provisions, all projects proposing residential development must prepare a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) prior to site approval. In addition, all projects proposing to utilize fill material must conduct property soil testing to ensure the soil is free of contamination. Additional standards listed in Section 15-1106 include not overburdening any existing or planned infrastructure capacities, including, but not limited to, capacities for water, runoff, storm water, wastewater, and solid waste systems. Projects must also comply with all applicable standards from Public Works and the City Public Utility Services. The goal was that if the development complied with all of the items, further environmental analysis could be avoided and a system to process applications ministerially could effectively be established.

Cumulative Impacts Conclusion
The Development Code, like the General Plan , supports increased land use intensity and mixed -use development throughout the city, especially near transit. The cumulative impacts of Fresno’s development standards established in the Zoning Code do not unduly constrain achieving the densities permitted by the zones. The components of the City’s development standards are described as follows:
▪ The Zoning Code allows multifamily residential properties in residential zones to have densities ranging from 12 dwelling units per acre to up to 45 dwelling units per acre. For multifamily residential developments in mixed-use zones, there is no maximum density. ▪ There are no minimum lot area requirements for multifamily residential developments. ▪ The City does not have maximum FAR requirements for residential uses in residential zones. In mixed-use zones FARs may range between 1.5 and 2.0. There is no maximum FAR requirement for projects in Downtown districts.
▪ Parking requirements vary, with opportunities for reduced parking in infill areas and for affordable housing.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-4-15 ▪ Multifamily residential developments have maximum height limits ranging from 35-60 feet. Mixed Use Districts have the following height limits: 40 feet in the NMX; 60 feet in CMX; and 75 feet in RMX. Height limits are: 90 feet in DTN (approximately 6 stories), 140 feet in DTG (approximately 10 stories), and 190 feet in DTC (approximately 15 stories).

Table 1E-4.6 analyzes the cumulative impact of development standards on the ability to achieve maximum densities in the City’s multifamily zones. Each of the examples assumes a rectangular one -acre lot and applies the City’s setback, lot coverage, parking, and open sp ace standards to determine if projects complying with City standards can achieve maximum densities. The analysis shows that development standards in the RM-1, RM-2, and RM-3 zones do not limit the ability to achieve maximum densities. There is sufficient excess site area remaining after application of the City’s development standards to allow the incorporation of additional project amenities that are not required, such as additional parking and open space features.

The City’s development standards are reasonable and typical, allow for maximum densities to be achieved, and do not serve to constrain housing development. The recent mixed use text amendments greatly increased the capacity for residential development in commercial and mixed use zones throughout the city.

SECTION 1E-4: CONSTRAINTS
1E-4-16 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 Recommended Action
Development and zoning codes can facilitate the very types of development needed. Although the City’s land use controls are permissive and flexible, there are additional opportunities to relieve regulatory constraints and facilitate more housing production. Parking standards are one area where many communities are seeking to decrease housing costs. The Housing Element includes a program to identify further ways to facilitate increased housing production throughout the city, including establishing a non -discretionary process to approve qualifying developments based on size, type, affordability level, and location.

Site Improvements
Analysis
Site improvements and property dedications are important components of new development and contribute to the creation of decent housing. Developers are generally responsible for covering the full cost of water, sewer, road, and drainage improvements within their projects. Typically, site improvements are requested during the planning review process.

Improvement requirements are the same throughout the city of Fresno, however some sites require fewer improvements if the infrastructure already exists and is in good condition. Typical off -site infrastructure improvements for new projects include constructing new streets, which include undergrounding of utilities, parkway landscaping, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and street lighting that are in compliance with standards as defined in the General Plan and the Municipal Code. Local residential streets require a dedication of 56 feet with a curb- to-curb width of 36 feet for a design with parking on both sides of the street (Public Works Standard P-56).

In areas already served by infrastructure, site improvement requirements vary depending on the existing condition of each project site. Usually, only standard connection laterals are required for most project utilities. The undergrounding of utilities from the nearest pole to the project is required of all projects (although there is a process for the granting of waivers in hardship cases), and street tree planting may also be required. New subdivisions typically require public and circulation improvements for the orderly and efficient development of the community.

As stated in the Municipal Code (Section 15-3804), site improvements for residential subdivisions include:
▪ Grading of streets and alleys, installation of street lighting, drainage pipes or lines, and drainage structures.
▪ Installation of sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and driveway approaches, unless the Standard Specifications for the Street Section do not require the improvements. ▪ Surfacing of a width and quality suitable for the particular type of street or alley as established in specifications adopted therefore.
▪ Pedestrian ways, including paving, landscaping, and fences and walls as may be required. ▪ Bikeways as may be required.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-4-17 ▪ Trails, greenways, or parks, as may be required.
▪ A water system of sufficient design and capacity to furnish an adequate water supply for each lot in the subdivision and for adequate fire protection to the area, as determined by the City Engineer. ▪ Sanitary sewer facilities and connections for each lot. ▪ Services from all utilities for each lot, made in such manner that will avoid or minimize disturbance of completed street improvements.
▪ The installation and planting of median islands, as may be required. ▪ Street trees
▪ Street signs
▪ The installation of an underground street lighting system approved by the City Engineer, as required.

Overall, the purpose of on- and off-site requirements is to ensure the health and safety of residents. On- and off-site improvements vary from about 5 to 20 percent of total development costs depending on the infrastructure improvements needed for the project. Developers indicated that costs in Fresno are equal or slightly higher than other communities, part icularly for multifamily housing . In addition to its Inner City Planning Application Fee Incentive Program, the City of Fresno has several fee waiver programs that apply to infill development in economically disadvantaged areas. The most notable of these for affordable housing is the Infill Incentive Program, which has resulted in the waiver of approximately $3.5M in development impact fees for 10 infill projects totaling 603 residential units since 2021. The average fee waived per unit is $5,918, which can be the financial tipping poi nt t hat allows affordable projects to attain economic feasibility. The Infill Incentive Program waives development impact fees for police and fire facilities, park facilities, regional streets, new growth streets and traffic signals for qualifying projects.

Conclusion
On- and off- site improvements can be costly, but with the fee waiver programs available, infrastructure costs are not considered a major constraint to development , as the required infrastructure and public facilities are necessary to serve the project. While required on- and off-site improvements may add to the cost of housing, there is not evidence that these requirements and associated costs represent a significantly higher standard than other jurisdictions in the County and beyond.

Recommended Action
None required.

SECTION 1E-4: CONSTRAINTS
1E-4-18 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 Zoning for a Variety of Housing Types
Analysis
The Development Code classifies residential development projects based on type, use, size, and location in order to determine whether the project is Permitted, Conditionally Permitted (through conditional use permit), or Not Permitted. The Development Code provides for a range of housing types, including single- family, multi-family, second dwelling units (i.e., accessory dwelling units), mobile homes, residential care facilities, emergency shelters, supportive housing, transitional housing, and single room occupancy (SRO) units. Refer to Table 1E-4.8 for a summary of Fresno’s Development Code as it relates to ensuring a variety of housing opportunities.

Multifamily
The Development Code allows multifamily units at varying densit ies in the following districts: Medium High Density (RM-1), Urban Neighborhood (RM-2), High Density (RM-3), Neighborhood Mixed Use (NMX), Corridor/Center Mixed Use (CMX), Regional Mixed Use (RMX), Downtown Neighborhood (DTN), Downtown General (DTG), Downtown Core (DTC), Commercial – Main Street (CMS), and Commercial - Regional (CR) districts. The Development Code and General Plan provide for a range of densities for multifamily in the RM districts (up to 45 units/acre without density bonus in the RM-3 district); and, in the Commercial, Mixed-Use, and Downtown districts with no density limits.

Accessory Dwelling Units - Second Units , Backyard Cottages, and Accessory Living Quarters
In Fresno, Second Dwelling Units, Backyard Cottages, and Accessory Living Quarters are permitted as accessory uses to single-unit dwellings, consistent with the Government Code Section 65852.2. State law refers to these housing types as accessory dwelling units (ADUs). The City’s Development Code contains the following descriptions of these permitted unit types:
▪ Second Dwelling Unit. Provides separate, independent living quarters for one household. Units may be attached, detached, or located within the living areas of the primary dwelling unit on the lot. Kitchens, including cooking devices are permitted. ▪ Backyard Cottage. May provide separate, independent living quarters for one household. Units may be attached, detached, or located within the living areas of the primary dwelling unit on the lot. Kitchens, including cooking devices are permitted. Backyard Cottages shall be located behind the primary dwelling unit, unless attached and integral to the primary dwelling unit. A Tiny House may be considered a Backyard Cottage.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-4-19 ▪ Accessory Living Quarters. Accessory Living Quarters provide dependent living quarters. They may be attached, detached, or located within the living areas of the primary dwelling unit on the lot. Accessory Living Quarters may not provide kitchen facilities, however a bar sink and an under- counter refrigerator are allowed, but no cooking devices or other food storage facilities are permitted. Accessory Living Quarters shall not be located in front of the primary single -family dwelling.

Regulations regarding development standards for Second Dwelling Units, Backyard Cottages, and Accessory Living Quarters are delineated in Section 15 -2754 of the Development Code. Second dwelling units, backyard cottages, tiny houses , and accessory living quarters may be established on any lot in any residential district where single -unit dwellings are existing or permitted. Only one second unit, backyard cottage, tiny house, or accessory living quarters may be permitted on any one lot.

Units shall conform to the height, setbacks, lot coverage and other zoning requirements of the zoning district in which the site is located. Minimum lot sizes for these developments are as follows: 6,200 square feet for Second Dwelling Units, 6,000 square feet for an interior lot and 5,000 square feet for a corner size lot for Backyard Cottages, and 5,000 square feet for Accessory Living Quarters. Minor deviations and/or variances to meet the minimum lot sizes are not permitted. Per State law, local governm ents may impose certain development standards on accessory dwelling units however, these standards should not include minimum lot size requirements. The City last updated its Second Dwelling Units, Backyard Cottages, and Accessory Living Quarters ordinance in 2018. New changes to State ADU Law became effective January 1, 2021, to further reduce barriers, streamline approval processes, and expand capacity to accommodate the development of ADUs and J unior ADUs. A program has been added to make further amendments to the ordinance to comply with State law.

The City of Fresno’s ADU Program encourages the development of ADUs by offering a selection of pre - approved plans to homeowners ( www.fresno.gov/ADU). The plans offer a variety of sizes and styles that will match the diversity of Fresno’s neighborhoods and the needs of households throughout the city. These plans can also be used to build small primary homes to help first -time buyers enter the housing market or assist those seeking to downsize.

Senate Bill 9 Subdivisions
Senate Bill 9 (SB 9) became effective January 1, 2022. The bill mandates local jurisdictions to ministerially approve two unit developments and urban lot splits within a single -family residential zone, without discretionary review or hearing, if the propos ed development meets certain requirements. For SB 9 developments, the City may apply objective zoning, subdivision, and design standards. The City has developed a submittal checklist application for SB 9 projects.

SECTION 1E-4: CONSTRAINTS
1E-4-20 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 Manufactured Housing
State law requires local governments to permit manufactured or mobile homes to meet federal safety and construction standards on a permanent foundation in all single -family residential zoning districts (Section 65852.3 of the California Government Code). In Fresno, a manufactured/ factory-built house is considered to be a single-family detached dwelling unit and is treated as such.

Residential Care Facilities
Residential Care Facilities Limited (those serving 6 or fewer clients) are allowed by right in all zones that allow residential uses subject to the same development standards and permit processing standards as other residential uses in those zones, pursuan t to the California Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act. Residential Care Facilities General (providing care for more than 6 persons) are permitted by right in the RM-2 and RM-3 districts and conditionally permitted in the residential single-family districts (RS-1 to RS-5), the RM-1 district, and in the CMS district. In order for the conditional use to be approved, the following findings must be made by the Director:
▪ The proposed use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other applicable provisions of the Development Code and all other chapters of the Municipal Code; ▪ The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and any other applicable plans and design guidelines the City has adopted;
▪ The proposed use will not be substantially adverse to the public health, safety, or general welfare of the community, nor be detrimental to surrounding properties or improvements; ▪ The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed activity are compatible with the existing and reasonably foreseeable future land uses in the vicinity; ▪ The site is physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of use being proposed, including access, emergency access, utilities, and services required; and ▪ The proposed use is consistent with the Fresno County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (as may be amended) adopted by the Fresno County Airport Land Use Commission pursuant to California Public Utilities Code Sections 21670-21679.5.

The City’s obligation to affirmatively further fair housing (AFFH) under CA Government Code Section 65580 requires that the findings for a conditional use permit for residential care facilities must be objective.

To comply with Housing Element Law, including its AFFH provisions, the Housing Element includes a program to review the CUP findings to ensure they are objective and do not serve as a barrier to approving residential care facilities for more than six. If determined to be a barrier or subjective then the City will amend CUP findings for residential care facilities. The City will continue to allow reasonable accommodations in the permitting of residential care facilities.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-4-21 Farmworker/Employee Housing
The California Employee Housing Act requires that housing for six or fewer employees be treated as a regular residential use. The Employee Housing Act further defines housing for agricultural workers consisting of 36 beds or 12 units be treated as an agricultural use and permitted where agricultural uses are permitted.

The Fresno Development Code defines Agricultural Labor Housing as living accommodations for employees and their immediate families employed for the exclusive purpose of agricultural pursuits either on the premises or off site. It includes single - or multi -unit dwellings, including mobile homes and dormitories. The definition does not place a limitation on the number of beds or units, and the Development Code states that in the event of a conflict between the Development Code and California Health and Safety Code Section 17021.6, relating to agricultural land use designations for employee housing, the Health and Safety Code would prevail. Agricultural labor housing is permitted by right in the Buffer (B) district. The Buffer District is intended to separate urban uses from commercial agricultural uses to preserve long -term viable agricultural areas and intensive farming operations in adjace nt areas. The Buffer District serves to prevent urban residential and related uses from developing near agricultural opera tions, and thereby infringing on full operation of farmland of importance.

While the definition of Agricultural Labor Housing and the allowance in the Buffer District are in compliance with State law, the Development Code allows agricultural uses, such as crop cultivation, in all single family and multifamily residential districts and therefore should allow Agricultural Labor Housing in these districts in order to fully comply with State law. In addition, the Employee Housing Act requires all employee housing for six or fewer occupants, not just agricultural labor housing, to be treated similar to any other residential use. The Fresno Development Code does not explicitly address this requirement.

The previous 2015 Housing Element included a program directing City Staff to review the Development Code to ensure continued compliance with the Employee Housing Act . The Code was found to meet the requirements of the Employee Housing Act regarding Agricultural Labor Housing and no changes to the Development Code were determined to be necessary. However, in order to increase clarity between the Code and State law, the Housing Element includes a program to permit employee housing for six or fewer as a residential use and permit agricultural labor housing in all zoning districts where agricultural uses are permitted.

SECTION 1E-4: CONSTRAINTS
1E-4-22 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 Transitional and Supportive Housing
Under Housing Element law, transitional housing means buildings configured as rental housing developments, but operated under program requirements that require the termination of assistance and recirculating of the assisted unit to another eligible program recipient at a predetermined future point in time that shall be no less than six months from the beginning of the assistance (California Government Code Section 65582(h)). Supportive housing means housing with no limit on length of stay, that is occupied by the target population, and that is linked to an onsite or offsite service that assists the supportive housing resident in retaining the housing, improving his or her health status, and maximizing his or her ability to live and, when possible, work in the community. Target population means persons with low incomes who have one or more disabilities, including mental illness, HIV or AIDS, substance abuse, or other chronic health condition, or individuals eligible for services provided pursuant to the Lanter man Developmental Disabilities Services Act of the Welfare and Institutions Code and may include, among other populations, adults, emancipated minors, families with children, elderly persons, young adults aging out of the foster care system, individuals exiting from institutional settings, veterans, and people experiencing homelessness (California Government Code Sections 65582(f) and (g)).

Accordingly, State law establishes transitional and supportive housing as a residential use and therefore local governments cannot treat it differently from other similar types of residential uses (e.g., requiring a use permit when other residential uses of similar function do not require a use permit). The City of Fresno Development Code (Section 15-2762) specifies that transitional and supportive housing constitute residential use and are subject only to those restrictions that apply to other residential uses of the same type in the same district.

With the passage of AB 2162 (20 18), Section 65651(a) of the Government Code now prohibits local governments from applying a conditional use permit or other discretionary review to the approval of 100 percent affordable developments that include a percentage of supportive housing units, either 25 percent or 12 units, whichever is greater, on sites that are zoned for residential use. While supportive housing is generally a permitted use in all zones, the City’s Development Code does not explicitly comply with this new requirement of state law.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-4-23 Emergency Shelters
Emergency shelters are allowed without discretionary review in the Regional Mixed -Use (RMX) , Commercial – General (CG), Regional Business Park (RBP), Light Industrial (IL), Public and Institutional (PI), Downtown Neighborhood (DTN), Downtown General (DTG), and Downtown Core (DTC) zoning districts. State law (Government Code Section 65583 ) requires that the Housing Element demonstrate sufficient capacity to meet unmet housing needs for people experiencing homelessness. Chapter 654, Statutes of 2022 (AB 2339), added additional specificity on how cities and counties plan for emergency shelters. Generally, AB 2339 amended State Housing Element Law regarding identification of zones and sites for emergency shelters. Governmen t Code Section 65583 (a)(4) now requires that the zoning designations identified to allow emergency shelters as a permitted use without discretionary review m ust allow residential uses. In addition, the Housing Element must identify specific sites that could accommodate emergency shelters. If a vacant site is zoned for a non -residential use but allows residential development, such as a mixed -use zone, the site must be located near amenities and services that serve people experiencing homelessness. If the site is nonvacant, the analysis must provide substantial evidence that the existing use is likely to be discontinued during the planning period.

Table 1E-4.7 outlines a summary of vacant land by zoning district that could be utilized to develop an emergency shelter in Fresno. Based on the 2022 Point in Time (PIT) Count, the estimated unhoused population in the City of Fresno is 3,397 . There are approximately 1,500 shelter beds available in the city on any given night. Thus, there is a net approximate need of 1,900 new emergency shelter beds to address the City of Fresno’s unmet needs.

Source: City of Fresno and Ascent, 2023.

Per state law requirements, the capacity on each site was determined by dividing the square footage of the site by a minimum of 200 square feet per person. As shown in the table below, within the RMX, DTN, DTG, and DTC Districts, there is approximately 93.13 acres of vacant land available that could be developed into a new emergency shelter, which is a sufficient capacity to accommodate the need for 1,900 new emergency shelter beds. These sites are all located within close proximity to frequent transportation, employment opportunities, food, and other resources. Most sites are within walking distance to services and amenities (see Figure 1E-4.1).

In addition to the same land use regulations and development standards that apply to all development within the identified districts (e.g., lot size, setbacks, building height), an emergency shelter proposed in these districts must comply with the following operational standards found in Section 15-2729 of the Development Code:
▪ Number of Residents. The number of adult residents, not including staff, who may be housed on a lot that is smaller than one acre shall not exceed the number of persons that may be accommodated in any hospital, elderly and long term care facility, residential, transient occupancy, or similar facility allowed in the same district.
▪ Length of Occupancy. Occupancy by an individual or family may not exceed 180 consecutive days unless the management plan provides for longer residency by those enrolled and regularly participating in a training or rehabilitation program.
▪ Outdoor Activities. All functions associated with the shelter must take place within the building proposed to house the shelter, except for children's play areas, dog parks, outdoor recreation areas, SECTION 1E-4: CONSTRAINTS
1E-4-32 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 parking, and outdoor waiting. Outdoor waiting for clients, if any, may not be in the public right-of- way, must be physically separated from the public right -of-way, and must be large enough to accommodate the expected number of clients.
▪ Minimum Hours of Operation. At least eight hours every day between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. ▪ Employee Presence. On-site employee presence must be provided at all times. ▪ Toilets. At least one toilet must be provided for every 15 shelter beds, unless a greater number is required by State law.
▪ Management Plan. The operator of the shelter must submit a management plan for approval by the Director. The Plan must address issues identified by the Director, including transportation, client supervision, security, client services, staffing, and good neighbor issues.

Most of these requirements are in compliance with State law. However, the hours of operation are expressed incorrectly as shelters are operated at night, not during the day. Public comments also pointed to the standards for the toilets as being excessive. As shown in Table 1E-4.4 above, the parking requirements for emergency shelters is one (1) space per 500 square feet of floor area. As noted in that section, the Housing Element includes a program to amend parking requirements to achieve consistency with S tate law. The program also includes amending the Development Code to correct the hours of operation, review and confirm standards for toilets, and to ensure that all standards are compliant with State law.

Low Barrier Navigation Centers
Assembly Bill (AB) 101, passed in 2019, requires that a low barrier navigation center be a use permitted by right in mixed -use zones and nonresidential zones permitting multifamily uses if it meets specified requirements. AB 101 defines “low barrier navigation center” as a housing first, low -barrier, service - enriched shelter focused on moving people into permanent housing that provides temporary living facilities while case managers connect individuals experiencing homelessness to income, public benefits, health services, shelter, and housing. The Housing Element includes an implementation program to amend the Zoning Code to comply with this new requirement of Government Code Section 65662.

Single Room Occupancy (SRO) Units
Single room occupancy (SRO) hotels and/or boarding homes, which house between five and 15 guests, are collectively referred to as SROs in the City of Fresno Development Code . SRO units are one room units intended for occupancy by a single individual. It is distinct from a studio or efficiency unit, in that a studio or efficiency unit is a one-room unit that must contain a kitchen and bathroom. Although SRO units are not required to have a kitchen or bathroom, many SROs have one or the other. Buildings that provide SRO units are permitted by right in the CG zone and conditionally permitted in the RM -2, RM-3, NMX, CMX, and RMX districts. The Housing Element includes a program to review standards for SROs and evaluate objective design standards to ensure that units are maintained and safe for all residents long term.

Summary
Table 1E-4.9 summarizes the housing types permitted and conditionally permitted under the Development Code.

SECTION 1E-4: CONSTRAINTS
1E-4-34 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 This page intentionally left blank.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-4-35 Conclusion and Recommended Actions
The following amendments to the City’s Development Code are required to address the provision of a variety of housing types The Housing Element includes implementation programs to amend the Zoning Code to address second, units, residential care facilities, and low barrier navigation centers in addition to tracking legislative changes.
▪ Accessory Dwelling Units: The Development Code is not consistent with State law requirements for accessory dwelling units as new requirements became effective in 2021 including that no minimum lot sizes may be required and new guidance from the State has clarified that a local government must allow one (1) converted ADU, one (1) detached, new construction ADU, and one (1) JADU, in any order, totaling three units. The Code must be updated to achieve consistency with State law and expand capacity to accommodate the development of ADUs and JADUs. ▪ Residential Care Facilities: The Development Code needs to be amended to permit community care facilities for more than six persons in all zones where other residential uses are permitted. ▪ Single Room Occupancy (SRO) Units: The Development Code limits SROs to serve a maximum of 15 guests. This is a potential constraint and will be amended. ▪ Low Barrier Navigation Centers: The Development Code is not consistent with State law requirements for Low Barrier Navigation Centers.
▪ Parking Requirements: The Development Code is not consistent with State law requirements for parking for ADUs, emergency shelters, and supportive housing. ▪ Supportive Housing. The Development Code does not explicitly comply with Government Code Section 65651(a) (i.e., AB 2162) requirements for affordable housing developments containing a specified percentage of supportive housing units.
▪ Farmworker and Employee Housing: There is ambiguity between the Development Code and State law so the amendments are recommended to permit employee housing for six or fewer as a residential use and permit agricultural labor housing in all zoning districts where agricultural uses are permitted.

Density Bonus
Analysis
Under current state law (Government Code Section 65915), cities and counties must provide a density increase of 20 to 80 percent, determined on a sliding scale, over the otherwise maximum allowable residential density under the Municipal Code and the Land Use Element of the General Plan. In addition to the density bonus, eligible projects may receive one to four additional development incentives or concessions, depending on the proportion of affordable units and level of income targeting. These incentives/concessions could address a height limitation, a setback requirement, a floor area ratio, an on - site open-space requirement, or other requirements. State law also provides additional relief from parking requirements if requested by a developer for a density bonus project.

SECTION 1E-4: CONSTRAINTS
1E-4-36 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 Article 22 of the City’s Development Code outlines the Density Bonus Ordinance that is in accordance with California Government Code Section 65915 . Development Code Section 15 -2202 states that “where conflict may occur between the provisions of this section and State law, the State law shall govern.” Conclusion and Recommended Action
The City last updated the Density Bonus Ordinance in 2019 and it does not reflect the latest state law requirements, which require cities and counties to grant up to four incentives or concessions for density bonus projects that include 100 percent of units to low - or very low -income households . The Housing Element includes a program to update the City’s Density Bonus programs and monitor legislation from the State on density bonus requirements and maintain up-to-date marketing and educational materials suc h as website information or permit bulletins.

Processing and Permit Procedures
Analysis
Processing and permit procedures can affect the time and cost of developing a residential project. Ineffective or unclear processing and permit procedures may also discourage a developer from taking on the risk of proposing a housing project altogether.

Transparency in Development Regulations
The City of Fresno complies with the requirement of providing transparency in development regulations.

The Planning & Development page of the City website provides all necessary information on Planning and Building and Safety divisions (https://www.fresno. gov/darm/). The information on the website covers the following:
▪ Long-range planning documents, including the General Plan, the City Development Code, and adopted community plans and specific plans
▪ Permit requirements and development process
▪ Planning applications, forms, and informational handouts ▪ Schedule of fees
▪ Property information
▪ Efficiency and Incentive Programs
Permit Processing
Development review is conducted by the City of Fresno Planning and Development Department with responsibilities including current and advance planning functions. Current planning includes staffing the public counter to receive applications and answer questions, processing and analysis of various entitlements, permit issuance and cor rected exhibit processing for public and private projects. It also involves providing engineering and technical staff support to commercial and residential projects.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-4-37 Advanced planning includes updates to the General Plan and Development Code , preparation of various community and specific plans, and special environmental, transportation, housing and demographic studies.

This division also promotes regional planning coordination with various agencies.

Preliminary Application Process
As of October 1, 2022, the Development Review Committee (DRC) Preliminary Application Review Process is voluntary, and a “formal” DRC Pre -Application is no longer required for most projects.

Preliminary application review is required for subdivisions and voluntary for any project that requires a discretionary approval, including, but not limited to, Development Permits, Conditional Use Permits, Variances, Planned Developments, Rezones, General Plan Amendments, and Annexations. This affords a developer flexibility to determine the feasibility of a project prior to preparing detailed plans and paying the more extensive entitlement. The Fresno Planning and Development Department conducts the pre - application review every Tuesday as part of a Development Review Committee.

Zone Clearance
Zone Clearance is a ministerial, or non-discretionary, entitlement that is reviewed and approved at the staff level.

A Zone Clearance is required to confirm that the project is being proposed in a manner which is compliant with, and without any deviations from, all applicable development standards prior to securing a building permit. The purpose of the Zone Clearance process is to streamline the review of many permitted uses. If a proposed development project does not meet the threshold for a Zone Clearance, it’s required to get a Development Permit.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-4-39 The City classifies Zone Clearance projects into Low -Level, Moderate -Level, and Major-Level Zone Clearances. Low Level Zone Clearance applies to projects that are typically approved “over-the-counter” and require confirmation by the Current Planning Division that the proposed business or use is consistent with applicable development or performance standards of the Development Code. Applicable uses could include a home occupation or a bed and breakfast – up to 2 rooms. A Low-Level Zone Clearance typically takes 1-7 business days for review if submitted digitally through Citizen’s Portal or the day of, if handled in person “over- the-counter.” Moderate-Level Zone Clearances applies to a single -family residence, duplex, or accessory dwelling unit (ADU) and typically takes 1 to 14 business days to review. Major-Level Zone Clearances apply to projects that typically require input from other internal departments or outside agency staff. To that end, the City’s review of Major-Level Zone Clearance applications requires additional analysis to determine consistency with other department or agency conditions as well as applicable development or performance standards of the Development Code. Certain projects requiring a Major-Level Zone Clearance may also include courtesy noticing to surrounding property owners. Applicable uses could include a streamlined multi -family development. A Major-Level Zone Clearance typically takes 30 business days for review.

Conditional Use Permit, Variance, and Development Permit The Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is intended to apply to uses that are generally consistent with the purposes of the district where they are proposed but require special consideration to ensure that they can be designed, located, and operated in a manner that will not interfere with the use and enjoyment of surrounding properties or adversely affect the City's infrastructure, the built or natural environment, City resources, or the City's ability to provide public services. A CUP application is required for exceptions to certain development standards. In order for a CUP to be approved, the following findings must be made by the Director:
▪ The proposed use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other applicable provisions of the Development Code and all other chapters of the Municipal Code; ▪ The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and any other applicable plan and design guideline the City has adopted;
▪ The proposed use will not be substantially adverse to the public health, safety, or general welfare of the community, nor be detrimental to surrounding properties or improvements; ▪ The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed activity are compatible with the existing and reasonably foreseeable future land uses in the vicinity; ▪ The site is physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of use being proposed, including access, emergency access, utilities, and services required; and ▪ The proposed use is consistent with the Fresno County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (as may be amended) adopted by the Fresno County Airport Land Use Commission pursuant to California Public Utilities Code Sections 21670-21679.5.

SECTION 1E-4: CONSTRAINTS
1E-4-40 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 A Variance is a request to modify development standards due to special circumstances. Variances may be granted in conjunction with a Development Permit to vary or modify dimensional and performance standards, but Variances may not be granted to allow uses or activities or increase density that this Code does not authorize for a specific lot or site. Applications for a Variance shall be filed with the Planning Division then t he Review Authority of the associated Development Permit shall approve, conditionall y approve, or deny applications for Variances based on the following findings:
▪ There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved that do not apply generally to property in the vicinity and identical zoning classification, and that the granting of a Variance will not constitute a granting of a special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on the property in the vicinity and identical zone classifications; ▪ The granting of the application is necessary to prevent a physical hardship which is not of the applicant's own actions or the actions of a predecessor in interest; ▪ The granting of the application will not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity, and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, general welfare, or convenience, nor the preservation and conservation of open space lands; and ▪ The granting of the Variance will be consistent with the general purposes and objectives of this Code, any applicable operative plan, the Fresno County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (as may be amended) adopted by the Fresno County Airport Land Use Co mmission pursuant to California Public Utilities Code Sections 21670-21679.5, and of the General Plan.

A Development Permit (formerly Site Plan Review) is required for all new structures, with the exception of one single-family home, a duplex, or a qualifying Downtown housing project which complies with all provisions of the Development Code, which can be completed through a ministerial Zone Clearance. These permits are intended to ensure that projects can be designed, located, and operated in a manner that will not interfere with the use and enjoyment of surrounding properties or adversely affect the built or natural environment, the city’s infrastructure, city resources, or the City’s ability to provide public services. Applications are reviewed by Planning staff and are only considered by the Planning Commission or City Council by appeal. Processing normally does not exceed 60 business days; however, s ome decisions may be appealed to the Planning Commission, and in such instances, the processing time can be extended by as many as 30-45 business days.

The Director or Planning Commission may only approve a Development Permit application if it finds that the application is consistent with the purposes of the Development Code and with the following:
▪ The applicable standards and requirements of the Code. ▪ The General Plan and any operative plan or policies the City has adopted. ▪ Any applicable design guidelines adopted by the City Council. ▪ Any approved Tentative Map, Conditional Use Permit, Variance, or other planning or zoning approval that the project required.

Design Review Standards
Site design development standards as well as façade development standards are incorporated into the Development Code for all districts. For mixed use and multifamily, the City provides applicants with a “certainty” option based on objective standards as well as a “flexibility” option if an applicant desires to deviate from objective standards. The standards for site designs are objective for the most part; however, there are some components of façade design standards that rely on the discretion of the Review Authority leaving room for subjectivity. For example, the Development Code states that windows, cladding, and finishing materials in residential single-family districts must be similar to, or within proportion of, adjacent homes. The Review Authority also has discretionary approval to determine the sufficiency of screening in multifamily developments. While the City’s standards are mostly objective, there are a few standards that could be modified to remove subjectivity.

Subdivision, Tentative Parcel Map Review
Subdivision of real property is initiated via the tentative tract or tentative parcel map process. Tentative maps are processed and approved in 75-90 business days when not being processed along with other entitlements such as Rezones or Plan Amendment applications. The final map process is essentially ministerial with major responsibility for prolonged processing resting with the developer and the developer’s engineer.

Environmental Assessment
An environmental assessment of a residential development is usually conducted simultaneously with the subdivision/parcel map review process or as special permits are processed. The assessment does not substantially add to overall processing time unless significant adverse environmental effects are determined, and evidence indicates that an EIR is required which can then take 9 to 12 months. Since the City of Fresno has certified a Program EIR (PEIR SCH No. 2019050005) for its General Plan and Development Co de, some residential development is able to be streamlined by tiering from the citywide analysis of impacts associated with implementing the General Plan and Development Code.

Annexation
The City and County of Fresno continue to process annexations, in conjunction with a joint policy that all urban-intense development within the City’s Sphere of Influence is referred to the City for annexation and the processing of entitlements. The time necessary to process annexations on the urban fringe averages about one year, even with the City ’s concurrent processing of entitlements policies. There is sufficient annexed and zoned land within the city to accommodate the housing needs for this Housing Element planning period. The City monitors land sup ply, underutilized parcels, areas planned for redevelopment, and resulting development to ensure a balance.

SECTION 1E-4: CONSTRAINTS
1E-4-42 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 Historic Preservation
Section 12 Article 16 of the Municipal Code codified the City’s Historic Preservation Ordinance . The overarching goal of the Historic Preservation Ordinance is to sustain historic resources, particularly their character-defining features. For this, there is a Historic Review process in place to consider project proposals. Under the provisions of the Ordinance, Historic Review is required for all demolition permit applications and a ll permit applications on a designated historic property. All permit applicat ions that require Historic Review shall be routed to the Historic Preservation Specialist through Current Planning or Building and Safety Services staff.

The Pre-Application process is helpful for many to learn the general rules and procedures applicable to projects involving historic resources and can assist the applicant in determining whether a potential project is likely to be permissible under the Ordinance. Applicants are encouraged to have a pre-submittal meeting with the Historic Preservation Specialist prior to the submittal of application materials. The Specialist may approve, in the name of the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC), non-substantial alterations based on the application presented.

Prior to submitting a formal application, applicants have the option of submitting conceptual plans to the Historic Preservation Commission for review and comment in order to seek advisement before moving forward in preparation for a proposed project. Initial review for all permit applications that require Historic Review could take up to 10 business days upon receipt by the Historic Preservation Specialist. Additional materials and further review may be required.

Processing Timelines
Considerable holding costs are associated with delays in processing development applications and plans. The City of Fresno’s development review process is designed to accommodate housing development applications of various levels of complexity and requiring different entitlements. Processing times vary with the complexity of the project. Single-family dwelling unit applications typically take 1 to 14 days if a single unit on one lot; 6 to 8 months if part of a subdivision . Multi-family development applications take 2 to 3 months through the Development Permit (previously Site Plan Review) process and an additional 14 to 21 days for building permits.

Table 1E -4.11 shows the approval body and typical processing times for the City’s permitting and processing procedures. These timelines are consistent with the Permit Streamlining Act and are not considered a constraint on housing development.

Typical Development Processing Procedures for Residential Projects Processing procedures vary by the residential use and the size of the proposed development. Residential development projects, based on type and size, are subject to one or more of the procedures listed above.

The Planning and Development Department is responsible for application intake, plan checking, permit issuance, and inspection services for public and private projects. This Department provides public counter services, subdivision processing, urban growth management, various entitlements associated with development, and engineering and technical staff support to commercial and residential projects. The Current Planning Division and Building and Safety Services Division within the Department ha ve as a primary objective the expeditious and accurate review of all development projects.

For single-family developments, it typically takes up to 30 days for developers to pull building permits after receiving entitlements are approved. For multifamily developments, the time between entitlement approvals and building permit submittals is longe r. Based on recent projects, it can take three months to a year for developers to pull building permits after entitlements are approved. To encourage development in the central, more urbanized parts of Fresno, the City provides priority processing to all p rojects within the boundaries of the Downtown Planning Area and in Inner City Residential areas.

The proposed use is consistent with the Fresno County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (as may be amended) adopted by the Fresno County Airport Land Use Commission pursuant to California Public Utilities Code Sections 21670-21679.5. ▪ Tentative Maps Required Findings:

A. Findings. The Review Authority may approve or conditionally approve a Tentative Parcel Map or Tentative Map if it makes all of the following findings:

SECTION 1E-4: CONSTRAINTS
1E-4-46 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024

1. Consistency. The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the General Plan, any applicable operative plan, adopted policies or guidelines, and the Municipal Code.

2. Passive and Natural Heating and Cooling. A subdivision for which a Tentative Map is required shall provide pursuant to the Map Act (Section 66473.1), to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision.

Examples of passive or natural heating opportunities in subdivision design include:
a. Design of lot size and configuration to permit orientation of a structure in an east- west alignment for southern exposure and to take advantage of shade or prevailing breezes. Consideration shall be given to local climate, to contour, to configuration of the parcel to be divided, and to other design and improvement requirements, and such provision shall not result in reducing allowable densities or the percentage of a lot which may be occupied by a building or structure. b. The requirements of this section do not apply to condominium projects that consist of the subdivision of airspace in an existing building when no new structures are added. c. For the purposes of this section, "feasible" means capable of being accomplished in a successful manner within a reasonable period of time, taking into account economic, environmental, social, and technological factors.

3. Availability of Water. Water will be available and sufficient to serve a proposed subdivision with more than 500 dwelling units in accordance with the Map Act (Section 66473.7).

4. Infrastructure Capacity. There exists sufficient infrastructure capacity for water, runoff, storm water, wastewater, and solid waste systems to serve the proposed subdivision. In cases where existing infrastructure is found to be deficient, plans shall show how sufficient capacity will be provided.

5. Compliance with Floodplain Regulations. The proposed subdivision is compliant with the City of Fresno Floodplain Management Ordinance and the State of California Code of Regulations Title 23, as well as any other applicable State or federal law.

B. Supplemental Findings. In addition to the findings required for approval of a Tentative Map or Tentative Parcel Map by Subsection A above, the Review Authority shall not approve a Tentative Parcel Map or Tentative Map unless it can also make the following findings, when they are applicable to the specific subdivision proposal.

1. Construction of Improvements. It is in the interest of public health and safety, and it is necessary as a prerequisite to the orderly development of the surrounding area, to require the construction of improvements within a specified time after recordation of a Parcel Map of four or fewer parcels where improvements are required.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-4-47

2. Condominiums. Any applicable findings required by Section 15-3913, Findings, for Condominium Conversions.

3. Dedications or Exactions. Any applicable findings required by Article 37, Dedications and Reservations, if dedications or exactions are required.

4. Waiver of Parcel Map. The findings required by Section 15-3503, Waiver of Parcel Map, if waiver of a Parcel Map has been requested with the Tentative Map application.

Permit Streamlining
The State Permit Streamlining Act (Government Code Section 65920) identifies timeframes for review of development applications. The Act also contains provisions that require cities to identify information needed for a complete application, and to provide follow-up information requests within certain timeframes.

Government Code Section 66300 ( Senate Bill 330 , 2019) and Government Code Section 65913.4 (Senate Bill 35 , 2017) also address permit processing streamlining. As described below, Senate Bill 330 applies to housing developments, including mixed-use projects with at least two-thirds of the square footage dedicated to residential. Senate Bill 35 established a streamlined ministerial approval process for qualified affordable housing projects or infill projects of 10 units or fewer. Both of these laws also establish specific timeframes for project approval.

Senate Bill 330
Senate Bill 330 (SB 330) prohibits cities and counties from enacting a development policy, standard, or condition that would impose or enforce design standards that are not objective design standards on or after January 1, 2020 [Government Code Section 663300 (b)(C)]. The bill also established specific requirements and limitations on development application procedures.

In addition, the legislation creates a preliminary application process. Submittal of a SB 330 preliminary application allows a developer to provide a specific subset of information on the proposed housing development before providing the full amount of information required by the local government for a housing development appl ication. Submittal of the preliminary application secures the applicable development standards and fees adopted at that time. The project is considered vested, and all fees and standards are frozen, unless the project changes substantially.

Currently (2023), the City offers an optional preliminary application checklist for all entitlement applications to advise a prospective applicant of current City standards and requirements. Pre -application meetings have helped to shorten the review process and allow for better communication between applicants, City departments, and utility providers. However, t he City has not yet developed an SB 330 preliminary application form. The Housing Element includes a pro gram to establish such an application to str eamline processing procedures.

The City has adopted objective design standards for multifamily districts, contained in Section 15-1005 of the Development Code.

SECTION 1E-4: CONSTRAINTS
1E-4-48 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 Senate Bill 35
Government Code Section 65913.4 requires jurisdictions that have not approved enough housing units to meet their RHNA to provide a streamlined, ministerial entitlement process for housing developments that incorporate affordable housing. However, to be eligible, projects must also meet a long list of other criteria, including prevailing wage requirements for projects over 11 units. In order for applicants to take advantage of Senate Bill 35 (SB 35), per Government Code Section 65913.4 (10)(b)(1)(a)(et seq.) they need to submit a Notice of Intent and jurisdictions need to give Native American tribes an opportunity for consultation. Fresno accepts SB 35 applications consistent with the law. As of January 1, 2022, planners include the following note during the Development Review Committee (DRC) process for projects with more than 25 dwelling units:

The City of Fresno encourages the development of safe, decent, and affordable housing. A streamlined development process may be available for affordable housing projects meeting certain criteria based on Senate Bill 35. For more information on affordable h ousing incentives please contact your project planner.

Approximately one applicant has requested SB 35 streamlining as of June 2023. Per HCD Guidelines, a local government that has been designated as subject to the Streamlined Ministerial Approval Process by the Department shall provide information, in a manner readily accessible to the general public, about the locality’s process for applying and receiving ministerial approval, materials required for an application as defined in Section 102(b) of the Streamlined Ministerial Approval Process Guidelines, and relevant objective standards to be used to evaluate the application. The Housing Element includes a program to establish written procedures for SB 35 streamlined ministerial approval and make them available on the City’s website.

Conclusion and Recommended Actions
The City's permit procedures do not unduly constrain housing development and average project review process timelines comply with the requirements of the Permit Streamlining Act. The City has made several updates to the development review process to simplify and enhance the process for applicants. The City also provides technical assistance and development incentives (e.g., Infill Incentive Fee Waivers) to make development cheaper and easier. For mixed use and multifamily, the city provides applicants with flexible site design development standards as well as façade development standards. The City attempts to run some processes and approvals concurrently where feasible to limit the approval time frame.

Atypical projects are subject to any number of factors, many outside the control of the City, which may extend the processing time, including environmental review under CEQA and permitting requirements of other agencies. The City offers an optional preliminary application checklist for all entitlement applications which has helped to shorten the review process and allow for better communication between applicants, City departments, and utility providers. The City has been generally successful in executing p riority processing for new projects in the Downtown Planning area, with approvals being issued on average in less than 75 days. Additionally, the City continues to provide impact fee waivers for qualifying projects and offers reduced application fees and p riority processing for single -family and multi-family projects within the Inner City Fee Program area.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-4-49 While the City has made significant efforts to streamline the permitting process, there are still additional opportunities to streamline the process . The Housing Element includes program s to further streamline residential development, including exploring ways to approve housing for qualifying developments based on size, type, affordability level, and location, establishing a preliminary application process consistent with SB 330, preparing written procedures for SB 35 applications, and reviewing design standards to ensure objectivity and approval certainty.

Local advocates commented that higher density development in Fresno is prone to local opposition which can slow down the approval of multi -family housing that requires a use permit. Programs to further streamline the development process can address this constraint.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-4-57 Code Enforcement
The Code Enforcement Division enforces the City’s Minimum Housing Code, which covers safety and livability requirements in housing by processing a variety of cases ranging from public nuisance to zoning.

Code Enforcement has specialty teams as well as area teams that respond to complaints and possess specialized training to enforce violations.

The City of Fresno recently switched to a more proactive code enforcement system. They require all rental property owners to register in a public database and subject all units to a baseline inspection and regular follow ups thereafter.

To promote quality neighborhoods and reporting of potential violations, the City of Fresno encourages residents to use the “FresGO” app and by calling 3-1-1, which allows residents to anonymously report issues, concerns, track requests, provide comments, and learn about city services. All complaints are addressed based on their priority level, with the most dangerous cases getting the most urgent response. The City of Fresno also created the “Quality Neighborhoods Guide” to provide residents with facts about City requirements and identifies the 15 most common violations, to encourage voluntary compliance among property owners.

The City works to bring code violation(s) to the attention of the responsible party, typically the property owner. A reasonable amount of time is provided to resolve the violation. Compliance at this stage is referred to as voluntary compliance. Voluntary compliance takes minimal City resources and is often achieved quickly because the property owner is responsive. In the case of unresponsive property owners, however, the City often takes enforcement action, using one or more of the following approaches to achieve compliance: Administrative Citations, Penalties, Abatement by Contractor, Court Appointed Receivership, Property Liens, Judicial Remedies, Referrals, etc.

Conclusion
Local amendments to the California Building Code, California Mechanical Code, and California Plumbing Code do not pose a significant constraint to the production of housing in the city.

Recommended Action
None needed.

Fees and Exactions
Analysis
Housing construction imposes certain short- and long-term costs upon local government, such as the cost of providing planning services and inspections. As a result, the City relies upon various planning and development fees to recoup costs and ensure that essential services and infrastructure are available when needed. In addition to local planning departments, developers must also work through the Air District, Water Districts, School District and sometimes Local Agency Formation Commissions (LAFCO) to obt ain entitlements for construction of housing. Each additional Agency requirement adds cost to the project and ultimately the housing unit. The time necessary for processing these requirements also raises housing cost.

Coordination and simultaneous processing among agencies should assist in reducing processing time and cost.

SECTION 1E-4: CONSTRAINTS
1E-4-60 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 Urban Growth Management Fees
Urban Growth Management (UGM) fees apply to residential projects located on the geographic fringe of the city. The process is not intended to prevent development, but it does preclude inordinate costs to the City and limits disorganized growth. The process is specifically intended to ensure adequate municipal facilities, improvements, and services are available when needed, and to protect the city and its residents by minimizing costs.

Fee Exemptions and Reductions
To reduce some of the costs associated with residential development, t he City offers various exemptions and reductions in fees. The City’s Fee waiver program permits the exemption of development impact fees when a “small residential development” is replaced or reconstructed, if the development is substantially similar to the unit being replaced or reconstructed and the replacement or reconstruction does not significantly expand or intensify the use of the property. Applications for fee exemption must be submitted to the Director of Public Works. To incentivize infill development, the City reduces application fees by 50 percent on properties in the following core neighborhoods : existing neighborhoods south of Herndon Avenue, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridors, and in the Downtown Planning Area. In Herndon Townsite, Highway City, and Pinedale areas, these reduced fees are limited to residential projects.

Typical Fees for Residential Projects
Development impact fees provide a mechanism for development projects to contribute financially to the cost of improving and expanding the infrastructure and facilities needed to accommodate that development.

Fees are a one -time, non-recurring revenue source paid at the start of a development project, typically at building permit issuance. Although development fees help support vital local services to serve incoming residents, locally imposed fees for new residential projects can be a potential constraint as it can be a n expensive component of development.

Table 1E-4.14 shows the assessed fees for three examples of typical residential developments, including a 90- lot single family subdivision, a 105-unit multifamily housing development in a new growth area, and a 42-unit multifamily housing development in an infill area. In addition to City fees, several regional fees are charged for development: Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District, San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD), Regional Transportation Mitigation and local school districts. For school fees, the Fresno Unified School District fees for residential construction is $4.79 per square foot (as of June 15, 2022); and the fees for Clovis Unified School District are $4.79 per square foot for level 1 residential construction such as residential additions/remodels and $5.36 per square foot for level 2 development including residential new construction and multi-family developments (as of July 1, 2022). Fees for the 90-lot single family subdivision total $2,315,746 ($25,731 per unit); fees for the 105-unit multi-family development total $1,934,333 ($18,422 per unit); and fees for the 42-unit multifamily infill development total $602,450 ($14,344 per unit).

Source: City of Fresno, 2023.

Conclusion and Recommended Action
The City works to reduce fees to the extent feasible. Fees for entitlement p ermit processing constitute approximately 2 percent of the total costs. School and regional impact fees make up 20 to 25 percent of the total costs except for the infill example in which school and regional impact fees made up more of the total costs. Generally, fees do not serve to constrain housing development in Fresno. The City will continue to provide reduced application fees and priority processing for single-family and multi-family projects within the Inner City Fee Program area, as referenced in the Municipal Code, to create housing units in infill areas.

In addition, the City will continue to offer impact fee waivers for qualifying infill projects in priority areas.

As the City explores additional strategies to increase housing production, the City will consider the reduction or modification of fees.

SECTION 1E-4: CONSTRAINTS
1E-4-62 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 Constraints on Housing for Persons with Disabilities
Persons with disabilities have a number of housing needs related to accessibility of dwelling units; access to transportation, employment, and commercial services; and alternative living arrangements that include on-site or nearby supportive living service s. Government Code Section 65583(a) and (c) requires municipalities to analyze potential and actual constraints upon the development, maintenance, and improvement of housing for persons with disabilities, and demonstrate local efforts to remove governmental constraints that hinder the locality from meeting the need for housing for persons with disabilities. Cities are required to include programs that remove constraints and provide reasonable accommodation for housing designed for persons with disabilities.

Analysis
California Codes and Regulations
The City has adopted Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, and the 201 9 California Building Code. The 2022 codes are adopted and will be effective on January 1, 2023.

Definition of Family
There are a number of state and federal rules that govern the definition of family, including the Federal Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, the California Fair Housing and Employment Act, the California Supreme Court case City of Santa Barbara v. Adamso n (1980), and the California Constitution privacy clauses. The laws surrounding the definition of family have a few primary purposes: to protect people with disabilities, to protect nontraditional families, and to protect privacy. According to HCD and Mental Health Advocacy Services, there are three major points to consider when writing a definition of family:
▪ Jurisdictions may not distinguish between related and unrelated individuals. ▪ The definition may not impose a numerical limit on the number of persons in a family. ▪ Land use restrictions for licensed group homes for six or fewer individuals must be the same as those for single families.

Although the City’s Zoning Districts use "Single -Family" terminology, t he Development Code does not define “family.” Section 15-6702 of the Municipal Code references single-unit and multi-unit dwellings as the primary residential use classifications.

Residential Housing Types
Single-Unit Dwelling, Detached. A dwelling unit designed for occupancy by one household and located on a separate lot from any other unit (except second living units, where permitted). This classification includes individual manufactured housing units installed on a foundation system pursuant to Section 18551 of the California Health and Safety Code.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-4-63 Single-Unit Dwelling, Attached. A dwelling unit designed for occupancy by one household, located on a single lot and typically grouped together in a row of similar units. They may be attached through common vertical party wall(s) to one or more dwellings o n abutting lots, or may appear to be attached, but are structurally independent.

Multi-Unit Residential. Three or more dwelling units on a site or lot. Types of multiple unit dwellings include townhouses, garden apartments, senior housing developments, and multi-story apartment buildings.

This use includes multi-unit development in which individual units are occupied exclusively by one or more persons 62 years of age or older.

The Housing includes a program to amend the City’s zoning ordinance to address the definition of “family.” Reasonable Accommodation Procedure
Building and development standards may constrain the ability of persons with disabilities to live in housing units that are suited to their needs. The City is required to make reasonable accommodations in rules, policies, practices, and services when such accommodations may be necessary to afford a person with a disability the equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling. Reasonable accommodation refers to flexibility in standards and policies to accommodate the needs of persons with disabilities. Per state law, a request for a reasonable accommodation may only be denied if:
▪ The individual on whose behalf the accommodation was requested is not an individual with a disability;
▪ There is no disability -related need for the requested accommodation (in other words, there is no connection between the disability and the requested accommodation); ▪ The requested accommodation would constitute a fundamental alteration of the services or operations of the person who is asked to provide the accommodation; ▪ The requested accommodation would impose an undue financial and administrative burden on the person who is asked to provide the accommodation; or
▪ The requested accommodation would constitute a direct threat to the health or safety of others (i.e., a significant risk of bodily harm) or would cause substantial physical damage to the property of others, and such risks cannot be sufficiently mitigated o r eliminated by another reasonable accommodation.3

3 California Code of Regulations, Title 2, § 12179.

SECTION 1E-4: CONSTRAINTS
1E-4-64 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 The City’s Reasonable Accommodation Ordinance is codified in Article 57 of the Development Code. A request for reasonable accommodation may be submitted on an application form provided by the City or be made orally to the Director. Additionally, the City i s required to help assist the applicant in preparing the application if needed. Generally, an application for a reasonable accommodation shall be granted in 30 days. It is the responsibility of the Planning and Development Director (the "Director") under t he Development Code to a pprove, conditionally approve, modify, or deny requests for deviations to dimensional requirements and requests for reasonable accommodation, pursuant to Article 56, Minor Deviations, and Article 57, Reasonable Accommodation for Housing. The following findings are required by the City:
▪ The housing, which is the subject of the request for reasonable accommodation, is to be used by an individual protected under fair housing laws;
▪ The requested accommodation is necessary to make specific housing available to an individual protected under fair housing laws;
▪ The requested accommodation does not impose an undue financial or administrative burden on the City; and
▪ The requested accommodation does not require a fundamental alteration in the nature of a City plan, policy, rule, regulation, or code.

Any denial of an application for reasonable accommodation may be appealed in accordance with Section 15-5017 of the Development Code. A Director decision may be appealed to the Planning Commission by filing a written appeal with the Director within 15 days of the decision being made. The appeal will be heard by the Planning Commission within 40 days from the date the appeal is filed.

Permits and Processing
The City does not impose special permit procedures or requirements that could impede the retrofitting of homes for accessibility. The City’s requirements for building permits and inspections are the same as for other residential projects and are straightfo rward and not burdensome. City officials are not aware of any instance in which an applicant experienced delays or rejection of a retrofitting proposal for accessibility to persons with disabilities.

Universal Design Element and Retrofit Assistance
Since 2008, the City has implemented a Universal Design Ordinance to govern new construction or modifications of City -subsidized housing. The City defines “Universal Design” as a broader, more comprehensive "design for all" approach to the development of p roducts, architecture, and environments around human diversity. Universal Design is a broad comprehensive house design that makes a home safe and comfortable for everyone, young or old, whether they have a disability or not. The program includes the following four items: 1) one “no step” entry, 2) accessible interior routes, 3) accessible kitchen counter space, and 4) ground floor facilities for units over 750 square feet in size. The City requires the incorporation of Universal Design features in affordable housing developments through a development agreement.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-4-65 Conclusion and Recommended Action
The City’s development standards do not unduly constrain housing for people with disabilities. Findings for reasonable accommodations are objective a nd the City continues to implement the Universal Design Ordinance to govern new construction or modifications of City-subsidized housing and provide accessible features in housing. Amendments to the City’s zoning ordinance are required to address the definition of “family.” The Housing Element includes a program to add a definition of family and consistently replace "single family" and "multi-family" terms with "single-unit" and "multi-unit" for internal consistency.

At-Risk Analysis
In the City of Fresno, there are more than 8,500 publicly assisted affordable housing units. Covenants and deed restrictions are the typical mechanisms used to maintain the affordability of these units. Over time, there is a risk of losing the affordable units due to the expiration of covenants and deed restrictions. As the housing market continues to put upward pressure on market rents in the Bay Area, San Joaquin Valley property owners could be inclined to convert the assisted units to market -rate housing or other use. While Fresno has a rich stock of publicly assisted housing, of the total stock, 695 units in 7 developments are at risk of conversion to uses other than low -income residential within 10 years from the Housing Element adoption deadline (i.e., by December 31, 2033). Table 1E-4.15 provides an inventory of these assisted rental housing units and categorizes their level of conversion risk. ▪ ‘Very-High’ Risk – affordable homes that are at -risk of converting to market rate within the next year that do not have a known overlapping subsidy that would extend affordability and are not owned by a stable non-profit, mission-driven developer/owner. ▪ ‘High’ Risk – affordable homes that are at -risk of converting to market rate in the next 1 -5 years that do not have a known overlapping subsidy that would extend affordability and are not owned by a stable non-profit, mission-driven developer/owner. ▪ ‘Moderate’ Risk – affordable homes that are at -risk of converting to market rate in the next 5 -10 years that do not have a known overlapping subsidy that would extend affordability and are not owned by a stable non-profit, mission-driven developer/owner. ▪ ‘Low’ Risk – affordable homes that are at-risk of converting to market rate in 10+ years and/or are owned by a stable mission-driven non-profit developer/owner.

The California Housing Partnership considers at-risk homes to be those with ‘Very-High’ and ‘High’ risk levels. housing market conditions, all assisted housing developments at risk of conversion by December 31, 2033, are included in the at-risk analysis.

Preservation Options for At-Risk Properties
State law requires that housing elements include a comparison of the costs to replace the at-risk units through new construction or to preserve the at-risk units. Preserving at-risk units can be accomplished by facilitating a transfer of ownership to a qualified affordable housing organization, purchasing the affordability covenants, and/or providing rental assistance to tenants. Each of these options is described below.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-4-67 Acquisition and Rehabilitation
Transferring ownership of an at -risk project to a non -profit housing provider would make the project eligible for re -financing using affordable housing financing programs, such as low -income housing tax credits and tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds. These financing programs would ensure affordability for at least 55 years. Generally , rehabilitation accompanies a transfer of ownership. Actual acquisition costs depend on several variables such as condition, size, location, existing financing, and availability of financing (government and market). Based on listings of for-sale multifamily buildings throughout Fresno County, prices ranged from $72,916 per unit for a 48-unit complex building in Fresno to $300,000 per unit for a 15-unit complex. Additionally, if the property needs significant rehabilitation, or financing is difficult to obtain, it is important to consider these factors in the cost analysis. Assuming that renovations cost around $25,000 per unit, acquisition and rehabilitation costs could be between $68 million and $226 million for 695 units in 7 developments.

Construction of Replacement Units
New construction is often more expensive than acquisition and rehab. The cost of developing housing depends upon a variety of factors, including density, size of the units, location, land costs, and type of construction. According to a recent report from the Terner Center4 in 2020, the estimated construction costs for new multifamily units are around $400,000 per unit. Based on this research, the total cost to replace the affordable units that are at-risk within the seven developments (313 units) with newly constructed units is estimated at $125 million.

Rent Subsidy
Rent subsidies can also be used to preserve affordability of housing, although there are limited funding sources to subsidize rents. The amount of a rent subsidy would be equal to the difference between the HUD- defined fair-market rent (FMR) for a unit and the cost that would be affordable to a lower-income household based on HUD income limits. Table 1E-4.16 shows this calculation. The total cost to subsidize the 313 affordable units at-risk of conversion is estimated at $788,800 annually.

Another way rent subsidies could be structured is as a rent buy-down. This would involve the City providing a one -time assistance loan to the property owner to cover the present value of the decrease in rents associated with the extended affordability term compared with market rents achievable on the units. This approach offers a benefit to the owner in that they receive cash upfront from the loan, providing funds for rehabilitation improvements.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-5-1 SECTION 1E-5: REVIEW OF PAST ACCOMPLISHMENTS
State housing element law (Government Code Section 65588) requires cities and counties to assess the achievements under their adopted housing programs to inform the development of new programs. State law also requires that local governments review the effe ctiveness of the housing element goals, policies, and related actions to meet the community’s special housing needs.

Major Accomplishments
The City has made significant progress in implementing the programs adopted in the 2013 -2023 Housing Element. Some major accomplishments are listed below.
▪ Received Prohousing Designation status and now eligible or funding incentives and additional resources through state grant programs to speed the production of housing. ▪ Established a Local Housing Trust Fund with $6.5 million dedicated to date. ▪ Awarded $300,000 in funding from the Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) program to accelerate housing development by funding site and infrastructure plans for catalyst sites throughout the city. ▪ Provided $827,000 for mobile home rehabilitation. City also took over enforcement of mobile home parks including building permitting of new mobile home placement. ▪ Dedicated $170 million in neighborhood associated infrastructure improvements for 189 park, sewer, street, traffic, and water projects.
▪ Developed pre-approved accessory dwelling unit (ADU) home plans for residents to use free of charge.
▪ Created the Anti-displacement Task Force and hired Thrivance Group to study displacement in the city. Most recently prepared “Here to Stay: Displacement Avoidance Policy Report.” ▪ Adopted a Lodging-to-Dwelling Conversion Ordinance and converted two hotels into apartments with many more projects in the works.
▪ Established a Rental Housing Registry and Rental Inspection Program. To date 86,350 rental units have registered, 13,375 inspections have been conducted, and numerous improvements to rental units have been completed.
▪ Established the School Area Code Enforcement Team to improve neighborhoods, reduce blight, enhance safety, equip residents for civic engagement, and connect low-income residents to housing resources. Reached 20 school areas and received an Innovative Program of the Year Award from California Association of Code Enforcement Officers.
▪ Between 2016 and 2019, 2,141 households received temporary shelter, 2,258 people received emergency shelter, 425 people received Rapid Re -housing assistance, and 231 clients with HIV/AIDS received Special Needs Housing Service.

SECTION 1E-5: REVIEW OF PAST ACCOMPLISHMENTS
1E-5-2 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 ▪ Between 2020 and 2021, 12,430 unsheltered persons received supportive services ; 983 beds were added to the system ; 4,812 unduplicated persons were assisted with overnight shelter, triage, or bridge housing; 5,243 people exited the system; and 1,687 people exited to permanent housing.

Progress Toward Meeting the RHNA
Each jurisdiction in California is responsible for accommodating its share of the region’s housing needs.

The process of determining each jurisdiction’s share of housing needs is called the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA). The RHNA projection period for the previous Housing Element was from January 1, 2013 to December 1, 2023. The City of Fresno was assigned a RHNA of 23,565 units, divided into four income categories:
▪ Very Low-Income (less than 50 percent of the Area Median Income): 5,666 units ▪ Low-Income (50 to 80 percent of the Area Median Income): 3,289 units ▪ Moderate-Income (80 to 120 percent of the Area Median Income): 3,571 units ▪ Above Moderate-Income (greater than 120 percent of the Area Median Income): 11,039 units Table 1E-5.1 summarizes the City’s accomplishments in meeting the RHNA during the previous RHNA projection period.

Program Evaluation
The following section reviews and evaluates the City’s progress in implementing programs from the previous planning period. As part of analyzing prior programs, the City must assess the effectiveness of programs for special needs populations. Table 1E-5.2 summarizes progress on the implementation programs from the previous Housing Element, including programs addressing special needs populations summarized below.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-5-3 Seniors and Persons with Disabilities. As discussed in Section 1E-0: Summary of Needs for the City of Fresno, about 11 percent of the population in Fresno was aged 65 or older in 2020. In the same year, nearly half of the senior population (44.5) percent had a disability. Due to proximity to services, Fresno has a higher rate of residents with disabilities than the county as a whole (13.8 percent compared to 12.9 percent across the county). Seniors and persons with disabilities are especially likely to live on fixed incomes and require accessibility modifications to homes to support mobility and independent living. The City implemented programs to support seniors and special needs households , including Program 7 – Special Needs Housing, Program 10A – Mobile Home Parks, Program 10B – Housing Choice Vouchers, Program 21 – Neighborhood Infrastructure, and Program 22 – Housing Rehabilitation . The City continues to encourage and support development of senior housing and senior residential care facilities that offer a wide range of housing choices and community services. The City also implements a Universal Design Ordinance for new construction or modification of City-subsidized housing using aging in place as a guiding principle (Program 7) . The program includes: one “no step” entry, accessible interior routes, accessible kitchen counter spaces, and ground-floor facilities for units over 750 square feet in size. Any developer receiving City funds is required to comply with the Universal Housing Ordinance. Every deve lopment project that has received City funds since the Ordinance was adopted has complied with this requirement.

The City also funds home repair and rehabilitation programs with its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership Act (HOME) funding. The City offers a Senior Paint Program in which CDBG funds are used to pay for a licensed contractor to paint home exteriors , occasionally providing minor repairs (e. g., screens, broken windowpanes, loose or damaged gutters) as fund s are available. The program serves low -income seniors who own and occupy their home. During the previous planning period, more than 100 projects were completed through the City’s Senior Paint Program. However, home repairs continue to be a need throughout the city, particularly for senior occupied households.

Stakeholders and public meeting par ticipants involved in the Housing Element update process identified various remaining needs including mobile home improvements, particularly accessibility accommodations, weatherization, and roof repairs for seniors. The City has allocated $553,717 of its Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funding for a total of $1.38 million in PLHA assistance to further its program focused on owner -occupied home rehabilitation for low -income people not eligible for funding through other programs, such as mobile hom e residents. Once the City receives its executed Standard Agreements for PLHA funds from the State of California, it will implement the program (refer to Program 22 for more information).

The City has also worked to increase the availability of affordable housing in the city by using HOME funds to support the development of affordable housing, including housing for seniors and people with disabilities, and to provide housing rehabilitation for low -income homeowners. Senior housing developments completed/underway during the previous planning period included Self -Help Enterprises Annadale Commons Senior Housing Project in Southwest Fresno (40 new multi -family senior housing units), FCTC Fancher Creek Senior Housing Project (180 new multi-family senior housing units); and Cesar Chavez Foundation’s Las Palmas de Sal Gonzales Sr. Apartments Project located at 5070 E. Kings Canyon (mix of 135 senior and multi-family units).

SECTION 1E-5: REVIEW OF PAST ACCOMPLISHMENTS
1E-5-4 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 Fresno residents with disabilities are served by the Fresno County Senior Resource Center, which operates an Adult Protective Services program, assisting both disabled adults and seniors with all requests for assistance. The Fresno County Human Services System Department of Adult Services also provides housing and basic needs assistance to elderly persons. The Fresno/Madera Area Agency on Aging (FMAAA) provides connections to programs, services, and resources elderly residents can use to maintain and improve their quality of life as they age. For seniors and other persons requiring a supportive housing setting, there are 210 licensed care facilities in Fresno County with 4,953 beds. The majority of these facilities are located in the City of Fresno, with some 67 facilities in the City of Clovis, one in the cities of Fowler, Huron and Kerman, three in the City of Reedley, and three in the City of Sanger. Furthermore, the Housing Authority provides rental assistance to eligible seniors and disabled residents through housing choice vouchers and project-based vouchers. Of the Housing Authority’s 7,412 vouchers (as of July 2023), 8 percent were used by a senior household and 19 percent were used by households with a disabled member.

With both new housing and rental vouchers, housing needs for seniors and disabled people continue to be addressed, however 7,571 individuals are on the interest list for vouchers and public housing.

Program Effectiveness: During the 5th Cycle, the programs described above served 355 households with new accessible affordable housing, 100 households with home rehabilitation, and provided 2001 HCV to senior households and households with a disabled member. Some households may have been served by the supportive housing available depending on cost. While the services and housing made available during the 5th cycle were effective in serving the targeted populations, data indicates that the needs still exceed the available resources. The following programs in this housing element aim to address more of the need and will depend on resource availability (both public and private) to be effective:
▪ Program 2 – Variety of Housing Opportunities in High Resource Areas- ▪ Program 3 – Encourage and Facilitate Accessory Dwelling Units and Small Homes ▪ Program 19 – Home Buyer Assistance
▪ Program 20 – Housing Choice Voucher Incentive Program ▪ Program 22 – Housing Rehabilitation
▪ Program 24 – Special Needs Housing
▪ Program 26 – Fair Housing Services
▪ Program 33 – Mobile Home Parks
▪ Program 34 – Eviction Protection Program
▪ Program 37 – At-Risk Housing
APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-5-5 Persons with Developmental Disabilities. Living arrangements for disabled persons depend on the severity of the disability. If a disability prevents an individual from working or limits income, then the cost of housing and the costs of modifications are likely to be even more challenging. For thi s reason, many persons live independently or with other family members. To maintain independent living, disabled persons may need special housing design features, income support, and in -home supportive services for persons with medical conditions. Special design and other considerations for persons with disabilities include single-level units, availability of services, group living opportunities, and proximity to transit. Stakeholders and public meeting participants in the 2020 Analysis of Impediments process highlighted the need for housing for people with developmental disabilities stating that affordability, safety, and landlords who understand their clients are importan t because it is difficult to obtain housing f or this group and evictions are common. For people with developmental disabilities, safety is a key factor and varies from neighborhood to neighborhood even within the same area of the city. The Analysis of Impediments recommended the provision of more dis abled-accessible units and housing for persons with mental and physical disabilities. The City of Fresno, along with other jurisdictions in the County, is serviced by the Fresno Center, which provides one point of entry to services for people with developm ental disabilities.

The Fresno center partners with the Central Valley Regional Center to help individuals with developmental disabilities. Central Valley Regional Center advocates for clients with developmental disabilities and consults with attorneys regularly on legal issues.

Program Effectiveness: Many of the programs available for seniors and individuals with disabilities also support individuals with developmental disabilities. In order to address more of the need, more financial resources are needed. The following programs in this housing element aim to address more of the need and will depend on resource availability (both public and private) to be effective:
▪ Program 2 – Variety of Housing Opportunities in High Resource Areas ▪ Program 3 – Encourage and Facilitate Accessory Dwelling Units and Small Homes ▪ Program 19 – Home Buyer Assistance
▪ Program 20 – Housing Choice Voucher Incentive Program ▪ Program 22 – Housing Rehabilitation
▪ Program 24 – Special Needs Housing
▪ Program 26 – Fair Housing Services
▪ Program 33 – Mobile Home Parks
▪ Program 34 – Eviction Protection Program
▪ Program 37 – At-Risk Housing
SECTION 1E-5: REVIEW OF PAST ACCOMPLISHMENTS
1E-5-6 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 Large Households. Homes consisting of five or more members residing together typically lack adequately sized and affordable housing options. Approximately 17 percent of all households in Fresno have 5 or more members (28,411 households), as of 2020. This consists of 13,282 owner-occupied large households and 15,129 renter-occupied large households. The most critical housing need of large households is access to larger housing units with three or more bedrooms. According to estimates from the U.S. Census American Community Survey (ACS), of the 170,137 housing units in the city as of 2020, approximately 68,131 units have at least three bedrooms and an additional 29,738 units have more than four bedrooms. Among these larger units, 69.4 percent are owner occupied (67,935 units) and 30.6 percent are renter occupied (29,934 units). 1 Based on this data, the City concludes that there is a sufficient availability of units suitable for large family households. However, l arge households would also benefit from the additional development of affordable rental multi -family units with three or more bedrooms. During the previous Housing Element cycle, the City and Housing Authority of the City of Fresno investigated funding sources, develop ed partnerships, and appl ied for available local, State, and federal funds to assist in the production of large family units.

Program Effectiveness: While the data indicates that Fresno’s housing stock can accommodate the number of large households in Fresno, data shows a lack of affordable housing for this population. In response to these needs, the City is including Program 24, which seeks to apply additional funding sources for a variety of housing types for special needs groups, including large households. Other programs that could support the provision of affordable housing for large households include the following:
▪ Program 2 – Variety of Housing Opportunities in High Resource Areas ▪ Program 12 – Local Housing Trust Fund
▪ Program 13 – Pursue State and Federal Funding Sources for Housing Development ▪ Program 14 – Partnerships with Affordable Housing Developers ▪ Program 19 – Home Buyer Assistance
▪ Program 20 – Housing Choice Voucher Incentive Program ▪ Program 26 – Fair Housing Services
▪ Program 34 – Eviction Protection Program
▪ Program 37 – At-Risk Housing

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-5-7 Single Female -Headed Households. Many single parent households, especially female -headed households, have a greater risk of poverty due to higher family expenses and single -wage incomes. Given the availability of jobs, transit, housing, educational facilities and other services, Fresno has a greater presence of single female -headed households than other cities in the county, except Clovis. As discussed in Section 1E-0: Summary of Needs for the City of Fresno, nearly 31 percent of households in Fresno had single female heads of household in 2020. Additionally, 36 percent of single-female-headed households in Fresno were living under the poverty level (11,582 households). Single-parent households can benefit from most affordable housing programs, including Housing Choice Vouchers (Program 10B), the Homebuyer Assistance Program (Program 8), and the Housing Rehabilitation Program (Program 22). The City offers information on these programs on their website and refers individuals when queried. Assistance programs offered by organizations like First Five Fresno County can also assist these households with securing affordable childcare and housing.

Program Effectiveness: Although the City passed several amendments to the zoning code to encourage the development of more affordable housing near transit and employment centers during the previous planning period, there still had not been enough new development to support the need. However since passage of the zoning code amendment to remove mixed use density caps along transit corridors in 2022, several affordable housing projects in the downtown and along transit corridors have been constructed or are in the pipeline. The City will continue to incentivize this type of development and provide available resources to single parent households as available and while encouraging affordable housing in high opportunity neighborhoods. Programs that could support housing for single female -headed households include the following:
▪ Program 2 – Variety of Housing Opportunities in High Resource Areas ▪ Program 11 – Incentives for Housing Development
▪ Program 12 – Local Housing Trust Fund
▪ Program 13 – Pursue State and Federal Funding Sources for Housing Development ▪ Program 14 – Partnerships with Affordable Housing Developers ▪ Program 19 – Home Buyer Assistance
▪ Program 20 – Housing Choice Voucher Incentive Program ▪ Program 24 – Special Needs Housing
▪ Program 25 – Development Code Amendments for Compliance with State Law and to Reduce Barriers to Housing Development
SECTION 1E-5: REVIEW OF PAST ACCOMPLISHMENTS
1E-5-8 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 Farm Workers. Farmworkers living in urban and suburban areas often have similar needs for affordable rental housing as other lower-wage earners. Due to a combination of limited English language skills and very low household incomes, the ability to obtain housing loans for home purchase is extremely limited. For the same reasons, rentals are also difficult to obtain although farmworkers are more likely to be renters. Research suggests that farmworkers generally experience overcrowded and substandard, potentially hazardous, housing conditions.

As a result, needs are generally accommodated through housing programs and policies that assist low- and very low-income households such as the HCV program (Program 10B) and the Housing Rehabilitation Program (Program 22). In addition, the Fresno Housing Authority manages 194 units of seasonal farmworker housing for migrant workers and 131 units in three year-round housing complexes, exclusively for farm laborers. The City has a relatively small population of farmworkers compared to other jurisdictions in the county but will continue to support regional efforts to provide seasonal and permanent housing facilities for farmworkers.

Program Effectiveness: In the prior planning period, City staff were to conduct a review of the Development Code to verify compliance with the California Employee Housing Act regarding housing for agricultural employees. The Agricultural Employee Housing (AEH) Act was reviewed a nd no changes to the Development Code were found to be necessary, however the City finds that it can provide clarification between the Code and State Law. In terms of effectiveness in meeting farmworker housing needs, the City did not have access to localized data in the prior period, however the City will be more proactive in reaching out to Fresno Housing and others working to address farmworker housing needs moving forward. This has already started to occur, as the City has applied for Rural Housing Service s funding through the US Department of Agriculture for a 54-unit deed restricted farmworker housing project on City-owned land at Ventura and 7th. This Housing Element includes a program to permit employee housing for six or fewer as a residential use and permit agricultural labor housing in all zoning districts where agricultural uses are permitted (Program 25 – Development Code Amendments for Compliance with State Law and to Reduce Barriers to Housing Development) . In addition to Program 25, programs that could support housing for farmworkers include the following:
▪ Program 2 – Variety of Housing Opportunities in High Resource Areas ▪ Program 3 – Encourage and Facilitate Accessory Dwelling Units ▪ Program 11 – Incentives for Housing Development
▪ Program 19 – Home Buyer Assistance
▪ Program 20 – Housing Choice Voucher Incentive Program ▪ Program 22 – Housing Rehabilitation
▪ Program 24 – Special Needs Housing
▪ Program 25 – Development Code Amendments for Compliance with State Law and to Reduce Barriers to Housing Development
▪ Program 26 – Fair Housing Services
▪ Program 33 – Mobile Home Parks
APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-5-9 Homeless. Without sufficient protections and affordable housing options, many low-income renters are at risk of experiencing homelessness. The 2023 Point -in-Time (PIT) count estimated that 3,207 persons were experiencing homelessness in the city of Fresno at the time of the count. It is estimated that approximately 1,819 of those residents were unsheltered, representing a 7 percent increase i n the unsheltered homeless population in Fresno. The City of Fresno collaborates with service agencies dedicated to providing shelter, housing, and case management services to those in need (Program 9). In addition to coordination at the local level, Fresno has received technical assistance and, in some cases, has been designated a high-priority city as part of initiatives aimed at preventing and ending homelessness.

Between July 2019 and December 2021, the Fresno area received more than $144 million from federal, state, and local sources to increase homelessness services. In 2023, funding that has been allocated to the City in addition to annual funding from HUD’s Community Planning and Development Office includes: Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention (HHAP) Round 1, in the amount of $6,158,246; HHAP Round 2, in the amount of $2,911,171; HHAP Round 3, in the amount of $7,524,257; and an initial disbursement of $5,632,712 from HHAP Round 4. Using state and/or federal emergency funding, the City funded the operations of multiple homeless shelters: Mental Health Systems Triage Center at the Hacienda; Turning Point of Central California’s Golden State Triage Center, Bridge Point Triage Center, S tep Up on 99, and Journey Home at Welcome Inn; Sage Commons; and Elevate Community Service’s Villa, Ambassador, and Travel Inn Triage Centers. In 2023, t he City’s federally funded programs, designed to assist people experiencing homelessness, assisted 2,464 people with emergency shelter; 269 people with tenant -based rental assistance or rapid rehousing; and 2,837 people with public service activities like street outreach, tenant and landlord counseling, and referral and housing services (all unduplicat ed). These funds went to the City, the County, the Fresno Madera Continuum of Care, and the Fresno Housing Authority. The City used its funding allocation to add 983 shelter beds and provide emergency and temporary shelter, and transitional housing.

In an effort to provide “housing-first” opportunities for the unsheltered population, the City of Fresno recently approved $1 million in HOME Investment Opportunities (HOME) Investment Partnerships Program funds to be directed to the Fresno Housing Authority for the formation of a local Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) program. The need to provide assistance for the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless through safe low -barrier shelter options, housing -first collaborations, and associated sup portive services was a priority area identified in the 2020 -2024 Consolidated Plan, and in 2022, activities were funded to work toward alleviating housing instability and homelessness for the people of Fresno.

SECTION 1E-5: REVIEW OF PAST ACCOMPLISHMENTS
1E-5-10 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 Program Effectiveness: The 2023 Point -in-Time count estimated that 3,207 persons were experiencing homelessness in the city of Fresno at the time of the count. It is estimated that approximately 1,819 of those residents were unsheltered, representing a 7 percent increase in the unsheltered homeless population in Fresno. The City used its funding allocation to add 983 shelter beds and provide emergency and temporary shelter, and transitional housing, and 40 units of permanent supportive housing.

1 Adequate Sites to meet 2013-2023 RHNA and to
meet 2008-2013 RHNA. The City will maintain an
inventory of available sites for residential
development and provide it to prospective residential
developers upon request. The City of Fresno is not
responsible for the actual construction of these units.

The City is, however, responsible for creating a
regulatory environment in which the private market
could build these units. This includes the creation,
adoption, and implementation of General Plan
policies, zoning and development standards, and/or
incentives to encourage the construction of various
types of units.

The City is maintaining, on an ongoing basis, an inventory status report of all Housing Element Inventory Sites. The inventory status report is available to City staff to address current planning projects for consistency with the Housing Element. As of December 31, 2023, the City of Fresno has a surplus of capacity in all income categories for the 2013-2023 RHNA. See evaluation of Program 2 for more discussion on adequate sites.

2 Residential Densities on Identified Sites. The City
of Fresno will evaluate residential development
proposals for consistency with goals and policies of
the General Plan and both (2008-2013 and 2013-
2023) Housing Element Sites Inventories to ensure
development on identified sites is occurring as
expected related to development types, densities,
and quantities. Should a project propose a reduction
in density, the City shall make written findings that
the density reduction is consistent with the General
Plan and that the remaining sites identified in the
Housing Element are adequate to accommodate the
RHNA. So long as the residential sites inventory
continues to exceed the City’s RHNA as set forth in
Program 1, the City shall make the necessary
written findings regarding the reduction’s
consistency with the General Plan. If a proposed
reduction of residential density will result in the
residential sites inventory failing to accommodate
the RHNA, the City shall consider an amendment to
the Housing Element in order to restore capacity to
the sites inventory, before acting on a density
In 2016, the City established procedures for the review and monitoring of sites identified in the Housing Element sites inventory. During the entitlement review process, new projects are evaluated for their consistency with General Plan housing objectives and RHNA obligations. In 2018, the City began integrating Policy and Procedure No. G005 - Housing Element Sites Inventory Entitlement Review Process Procedure with Accela, the City’s new land management system. Several development projects have requested reduced densities during the 2013-2023 Housing Element cycle and most were found to be consistent with the General Plan and included an assessment of the Housing Sites Inventory capacity. In 2019, the projects that proposed a reduction in density were found to impact the capacity of the 2008-2013 Housing Sites Inventory so in order to restore adequate capacity, the City Council adopted Plan Amendment P19-00980 to add 91 sites in Downtown (approximately 54.16 acres) for an estimated 9,374 units to the 2008-2013 Inventory.

In subsequent years, the projects that proposed a reduction in density were found in writing to be consistent with the General Plan and included an assessment of the Housing Sites Inventory capacity.

Consistency was maintained because the inventory currently has a Continue to implement

toward Housing Element implementation, and reach
out to the community regarding these topics annually
as part of a Housing Element Annual Report on
annual progress. Notify and invite interested
community members to attend and discuss housing
production progress at a public hearing, and continue
to provide avenues for community input on the
implementation of the Housing Element. Utilize
multiple methods of outreach to engage all members
of the Fresno community, including multilingual
notices and media outlets. Encourage input on other
housing and fair housing-related programs and
policies maintained by the City, including but not
limited to those contained in the Analysis of
Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (or Assessment
of Fair Housing) and relevant General Plan policies
and Development Code provisions. Allow residents
The City devotes considerable effort to engage housing advocates, stakeholders, and organizations on housing-related programs and policies maintained by the City. Fresno has a Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC) that helps facilitate annual evaluations and the City also completes Housing Element Annual Progress Reports (APR). The City facilitates public workshops for stakeholders and interested parties to present accomplishments and receive public feedback on: affordable housing development in Fresno, future actions/assistance the City could provide, the impact of State laws, and other City housing-related programs and policies. Community meetings are promoted through the Fresno Bee, Vida en el Valle, social media, utility bill inserts, email, media outlets, flyer distributions at schools, door-to-door canvassing, local events, neighborhood meetings, food distributions, and congregations. In March 2020, the process went digital due to COVID-19. Meetings often include Spanish and Hmong interpretation and most recently (2022) Punjabi. Draft plans and materials are made available via the City’s website or printed in the City Clerk’s office, the Code Enforcement public counter, and in all of the public libraries.

4 Density Bonus Programs. The City will
encourage use of the State Affordable Housing
Density Bonus and City of Fresno TOD Height
and Density Bonus provisions through technical
assistance and information dissemination.

During the pre-application process for entitlements the City meets with applicants to provide assistance. Projects that are eligible for density bonuses are informed of the State Density Bonus and City of Fresno Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Height and Density Bonus (which can be combined with a State density bonus for affordable housing).

Approximately 22 projects have claimed a Density Bonus in Fresno between 2016 and 2022.

Maintain program and
monitor legislative
updates to State
Density Bonus law.
5 Housing Funding Sources. The City will
actively pursue funding to assist in the
development, preservation, and rehabilitation of
any housing type with a particular emphasis on
the development of mixed-income
neighborhoods. The City will identify these
funding opportunities to both for-profit and non-
profit developers as part of the residential and
mixed-use development processes, especially
those projects that have the potential for
affordable housing. The City will also continue to
assist Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC)
applications and Affordable Housing and
Sustainable Communities (AHSC)/Cap and Trade
applications. The actions that the City will take
specifically include, but are not necessarily
limited to:

The City primarily receives funding through annual entitlement programs administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). However, in 2021 the City
established a local housing trust fund (LHTF) to establish a local source of funding for various community-supported housing programs and activities.

In 2022, the City received $6.8 million through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, $603,908 through the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program, $3.6 million through the HOME Program, and $875,943 through the Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS/HIV (HOPWA) Program. The City’s administration also allocated $42 million of its funding through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) for the development of affordable housing. For more information about how this funding was used, refer to Programs 6 and 7.

The City has also been awarded entitlement grants from the California Department of Housing and Community Development. In 2022, it was awarded $54 million through Homekey 2 to fund projects to sustain and rapidly expand housing for people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. The City also submitted a joint application with RH Community Builders and UpHoldings and were awarded $16.7 million in Homekey 2 funds from the State of California to acquire and convert motels into affordable housing. The City was also awarded $5 million through the State of California’s Encampment Resolution Fund Program. Funds are used to provide street outreach to people experiencing homelessness in encampments within a specified area Maintain program.

The City also applied for a fourth allocation of the Homeless Housing Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) Program totaling $11 million and for its third allocation of the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program totaling $5.8 million.
6 Strengthening Partnerships with Affordable
Housing Developers. The City will continue to
strengthen partnerships and relationships with
affordable housing developers, including but not
limited to the Fresno Housing Authority, by
doing the following:

Encouraging and assisting in funding applications
to applicable federal, State, and local funding
sources
Supporting local capacity building efforts around
affordable housing finance, including convening
affordable housing developers, community
development leaders, lenders, and advocates to
identify ongoing regulatory and funding barriers
to affordable and mixed-income development
Attracting large investors to facilitate the
construction of new affordable housing units and
incentivize self-help type single-family housing
construction for extremely low-income
households
Reviewing published notices for funding
availability and causing applications to be
prepared for various City housing programs,
projects, and activities
Administering Community Housing
Development Organization (CHDO) funds for
affordable housing projects with service
providers including Habitat for Humanity
The City actively collaborates with affordable housing developers to fund and build affordable housing. During the previous planning period, the City worked closely with the Fresno Housing Authority, Self Help Enterprises, and Habitat for Humanity. Staff provide frequent communication with partners about Federal, State, and local funding sources, and continue to assist developers applying for Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) by reviewing applications, evaluating possible leveraging with local programs, and submitting letters of support and certifications of consistency with the Consolidated Plan.

In 2018 and 2019, the City provided assistance to five projects– Mariposa Meadows, Annadale Commons, Renaissance at Cincotta, Econo Inn, and Fancher Creek Senior Housing. Also in 2019, the City of Fresno collaborated with Self Help Enterprises, the Fresno Housing Authority, and Habitat for Humanity to use HOME funding for three residential projects.
• Self-Help Enterprises’ Annadale Commons Phase II in the amount of $1,462,000 for 35 single-family houses
• Fresno Housing Authority’s Chinatown Housing Project in the amount of $397,118 for 57 multi-family housing units, and • Habitat for Humanity’s Central Lots Project Phase II in the amount of $392,000 for two single-family houses.

The City is currently working in collaboration on the Fancher Creek Master Planned Development, a 90-acre project in Southeast Fresno that would consist of 970,000 square feet of commercial and retail businesses, a senior housing development, a multifamily housing development, a plaza, recreational space, and approximately 1.5 miles of trail along the canal. The City is currently (2023) in financing negotiations.

To attract more investors and increase the availability of housing, the City offers development incentives in the form of TOD height and density bonuses, which can be combined with the State density bonus for affordable housing. Most recently the City removed maximum densities in Downtown and Mixed-Use zoning districts to streamline higher density development.
7 Special Needs Housing. The City will continue
to encourage the development of adequate
housing to meet the needs of persons with special
needs (such as seniors, survivors of domestic
violence, and people with disabilities, including
persons with developmental disabilities),
including the following efforts:

The City will continue implementation of its
Universal Design Ordinance for new construction
or modification of City-subsidized housing using
visitability and aging in place as guiding
principles. The program includes:
• One “no step” entry
• Accessible interior routes
• Accessible kitchen counter space
• Ground-floor facilities for units over 750
square feet in size
The City will partner with and encourage local and
State non-profits to seek funding for development of
new farmworker housing projects.

The City will use funding programs such as the
Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) and Housing
Opportunities for Persons with HIV/AIDS
(HOPWA) to support needed social services and
review applications annually.

The City will continue to utilize available funds
and/or seek funding to support the Fresno-Madera
Continuum of Care, a local collaborative of
The City uses many programs and funding sources to address special needs housing. Activities undertaken with CDBG, HOME, ESG, HOPWA, and City General Funds include efforts to reduce poverty and improve the quality of life for residents.

The City’s ESG and HOPWA funds provide direct assistance to homeless individuals or those at risk of becoming homeless. From July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022, annual HUD entitlement funds of $603,908 in ESG and $875,943 in HOPWA were awarded to subrecipients who provided 2,591 people with emergency shelter and street outreach services; 610 people with supportive, referral, and housing services; 17 people with homelessness prevention; and 195 people with rapid rehousing, short-term rent, tenant-based rental assistance, or housing through short-term or transitional facilities (all unduplicated).

The City will provide technical assistance to
developers with proposed Single Room Occupancy
(SRO) projects to create units during the plan period.

The City and Housing Authority of the City of Fresno
will investigate funding sources, develop partnerships, and apply for available local, State, and federal funds to assist in the production of large family units.

The City and Housing Authority of the City of
Fresno will seek and apply to funding sources and
partner with local and statewide non-profits and
for-profits in applying for funds and encouraging
the construction of units for extremely low-, very
low-, and low-income income seniors (typically
age 65 years and over; may vary by funding
source or program).
8 Home Buyer Assistance. The City of Fresno
administers a first-time homebuyer program that
provides up to $50,000 as a silent second loan to
an eligible homebuyer. The program helps low-
income households purchase their first home in
qualified census tracts in Fresno (excluding
County islands) and is funded by the California
Department of Housing and Community
Development’s CalHome program.

The City also converts new single-family housing
development loans to first-time homebuyer
assistance loans upon transfer of the property to the
homebuyer. The City will continue to pursue funds
for the first-time homebuyer program to assist City
households during the planning period. The City
will also conduct targeted marketing to real estate
professionals, lenders and eligible homebuyers as
part of the program and will include high
opportunity areas in the marketing plan.

The City assisted 9 first-time homebuyers in Calendar year 2016, but then the State HCD CalHome agreement expired in April 2017. In 2020, the City allocated $971,100 of funding through its first allocation of PLHA program for a down payment assistance program for low- and moderate-income first-time home buyers. In 2021, the City allocated $1.5 million of its second allocation of PLHA funds for the down payment assistance program. In 2022, the City allocated an additional $1.6 million of funding through its third allocation of PLHA for a down payment assistance program. The total allocated to the down payment assistance program to date is $4.1 million. Once the City receives its executed Standard Agreements for PLHA funds from the State of California, it will implement the down payment assistance program.

9 Homeless Assistance. The City will apply for, or
support applications for funding for emergency
shelters, transitional or supportive housing. The
City will continue to use Emergency Solutions
Grant (ESG) Program funds to support needed
social services and review applications annually.

The City is also utilizing the HOME Investment
Partnerships (HOME) Program and is contracted
with the Fresno Housing Authority to implement
a $1 million tenant-based rental assistance
program for persons that are homeless, threatened
with homelessness, or in need of housing
assistance after completing a transitional living
program. In addition to ESG and HOME funds,
during fiscal year 2016, the City allocated
approximately $520,000 in general funds for the
MAP Point at the Poverello House, outreach, and
assessment of homeless individuals. The City will
continue to participate in and support the Fresno
Madera Continuum of Care and the MAP Point at
the Poverello House.

The City funded multiple activities with its federal allocations through HOME, CDBG, ESG, and HOPWA programs. The Tenant Based
Rental Assistance (TBRA) program, funded with HOME dollars, is run in coordination with FMCoC, the Housing Authority, and other subrecipient vendors to provide emergency shelter, homeless prevention and rapid rehousing for clients in need.

The Living Room, funded with HOPWA dollars, is a WestCare California program that provides short-term rental and mortgage assistance, tenant-based rental assistance, transitional housing, homelessness prevention, rapid re-housing, supportive services, and housing information to homeless individuals and those at-risk of homelessness affected by HIV/AIDS. The primary goals of the program were to help participants achieve both permanent housing and health stability. WestCare California also operated Project Unite with ESG funds to provide rapid rehousing and homelessness prevention services through weekly outreach activities. The program focused on engaging homeless and chronically homeless extremely low-income individuals and families, including Veterans who are not eligible for housing assistance through Supportive Services for Veteran Families and VASH.

The City also used CDBG to fund the Marjaree Mason Center to support the operation of an emergency shelter, five rooms within a transitional housing safe house, and transitional services for victims of domestic violence.

Poverello House was awarded ESG funds for its Homeless Outreach Progressive Engagement (HOPE) Team to provide street outreach to people experiencing homelessness that live in the City of Fresno. The purpose of the team is to link people experiencing homelessness to navigation services and shelter. The Rapid Rehousing Program through Poverello was also funded with ESG to provide direct case management and rental support for those experiencing homelessness in the City for up to one year. The program helped pay for security deposits, past-due PG&E bills, and direct rental support. Case managers also worked with participants to develop a plan to sustain housing beyond the rapid rehousing program support.

assistance to facilitate the maintenance and
preservation of mobile home parks.

Conduct yearly outreach to mobile home residents
and park owners regarding potential funding
sources, including the State’s Mobilehome Park
Rehabilitation and Ownership Program. Outreach
may be facilitated by going to mobile home
clubhouses and posting information in readily

Between 2016 and 2019, the City held public meetings, workshops, and hearings annually for residents (including mobilehome parks residents) to voice their concerns and request needs for the neighborhoods, such as sidewalks, better lighting, better crime prevention strategies, and more neighborhood parks. The City also distributes information annually to inform owners and residents of the Mobile Home Rent Stabilization Ordinance.

The City adopted the Mobile Home Park Act in 2021 and in July, by agreement with HCD, the City took over enforcement of mobile home parks within city limits. As a result of the adoption of the Mobile Home Park Act, the City's Code Enforcement Department created the Mobile Home Inspection Team, which oversees the health and safety ordinances and the Planning and Development Department created a new review and inspection process and team to oversee the permitting of mobile home placement and site improvements.

Housing Choice Vouchers. The Housing Choice
Voucher (HCV) program, formerly the Section 8
program, provides rent subsidies to very low-
income households which overpay for housing.

Prospective renters secure housing from HUD-
registered apartments that accept the certificates.

HUD then pays the landlords the difference
between what the tenant can afford (30 percent of
their income) and the payment standard
negotiated for the community. In Fresno, the
Fresno Housing Authority administers the HCV
program. To facilitate access to the Housing
Authority’s program, the City will collaborate
with and support the Housing Authority’s
program on an annual and ongoing basis by:

Providing information about Housing Choice
Vouchers at the planning counter, on the City/
website and in other public places to increase
awareness.

Assisting the Housing Authority in maintaining a
list of multifamily rental developments that
accept vouchers and hold regular discussions with
In 2017 and 2018 the City of Fresno increased the visibility of Housing Choice Vouchers through its website and developed a methodology to define High Opportunity Areas (HOAs), sharing the boundaries and list of information on apartments within the HOAs with the Housing Authority. In 2019, the Housing Authority initiated a Landlord Outreach program to educate and encourage new landlords to participate in the HCV program, as well as ensure current landlords are educated and providing quality housing.

In January and February of 2020, the Landlord Outreach Assistant Manager met separately with 27 landlords of properties located within HOAs to provide training and information and a few agreed to accept vouchers. During the COVID-19 closures in 2020, the department focused on providing a seamless virtual customer service experience for both landlords and tenants, which included serving as liaison and growing the Partnership between Fresno Housing and Landlords.

Landlord outreach efforts continued during the pandemic, encouraging landlords to participate in Fresno Housing programs. These efforts led to seven new landlords and two property management companies accepting HCVs, two of which are in HOAs. In January, Fresno Housing submitted a Mobility Demonstration application to HUD in efforts to provide support to families who desire to lease up in HOAs.

The Fresno Housing Authority launched a Landlord Incentive Pilot program in March 2021 and added additional incentives in June 2021 to Maintain program.

encourage landlords to either stabilize or bring on new units to the program in efforts to encourage them to house families during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pilot was funded through the use of CARES funding to monetarily incentivize landlords to rent to voucher recipients searching for affordable units within FHA’s jurisdiction. Approximately $140,000 was distributed to landlords during the incentive period from mid-June 2021 to mid-December 2021, however all incentives expired December 31, 2021, in accordance with the sunset of CARES funding availability.

In 2023, Fresno Housing has partnered with the City of Fresno to launch the Voucher Incentive Program (VIP) to assist voucher holders find housing. Developing from the pilot, the lead VIP coordinator will promote the HCV program, work with current voucher holders to conduct tenant education on eligibility for additional types of assistance through the VIP program such as security deposit and rental fee assistance. The coordinator will also promote and provide information on the incentives offered through the VIP program to recruit eligible, non-participating property owners.

As of January 2023, the number of HCV holders in the city is about 7,400 and the number in HOAs is 147, or 1.29 percent of all voucher holders in the city. In addition to HCV, the Fresno Housing Authority also administers special programs such as VASH and HOME, which are rental assistance programs that extend into HOAs as well. Combining these special programs with HCVs the total number of households receiving rental assistance in HOAs is 154 or 1.35 percent of all voucher holders in the city.
11 Fresno Green. The City will continue
implementation of the Fresno Green program and
work with developers to lower long-term housing
costs through energy-efficient housing
developments. The City will also monitor grant
funds for applicable housing related energy-
efficient items and pursue funding on an ongoing
basis.

The City continues to offer the Fresno Green program to developers as an incentive to build sustainably, which in turn reduces utility costs to homeowners or renters. In 2016, two housing projects received Fresno Green Certification and both were affordable housing sites. One was the 51 dwelling unit South Fulton Project at 829 Fulton Mall and the other was the 8 dwelling unit Glenn Avenue Apartments at 146 N. Glenn Avenue.

In 2017, the City began an update of the Fresno Green program to better align it with the 2035 Fresno General Plan and state policies and goals associated with greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction; however, funding ran out after the first phase of the update and additional funding was not Delete program.

pursued by grant partners, therefore the revitalization and implementation were stalled. No housing projects received the Fresno Green Certification between 2017 and 2023.

The Fresno Green program has been mostly superseded by the CalGreen Building Code and California Energy Code and other State mandates such as the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance. The City’s updated sustainability measures for new buildings are outlined in the City’s GHG Reduction Plan, adopted in 2021.
12 Downtown Development. In 2016, the City
adopted the Downtown Development Code
(DDC) to encourage infill development at the
City’s core that is compact and walkable, offers a
mix of uses, and creates a sense of place. The
Downtown zoning standards contain a residential
capacity limit for the Downtown Planning Area
(9,990 dwelling units), with unlimited density on
individual Downtown properties. Residential
capacity in the area is significantly increased with
the DDC and allows residential development
where it was not previously permitted. The
Downtown standards provide a streamlined and
clear set of zoning regulations, making good
projects easier to build in Downtown and the
surrounding neighborhoods. To facilitate higher-
density mixed-use development in Downtown, an
environmental impact report assessed the
proposed Downtown plans and code so that new
development that complies with Code will not be
subject to further environmental analysis.

The City will ensure that the Downtown
Development Code standards will not constrain
the potential for developing housing and that
zoning standards for the sites ensure continued
adequate capacity to meet the City’s RHNA
obligation.

Downtown Development Standards were adopted by the Fresno City Council on October 20, 2016. There have been no rezones or plan amendments in Downtown Fresno and no changes have been made to the Downtown Development Standards since then.

Downtown Displacement Prevention. The City
will implement Policy 7.12.1 of the Downtown
Neighborhoods Community Plan which calls for
the convening of a displacement task force to
explore ways to provide opportunities for low
income residents and merchants to remain in their
neighborhoods if displacement is observed due to
substantial and sustained increases in rent. The
task force should work in conjunction with low
income residents, community organizations
serving low income residents, experts on
displacement, low income business owners, and
property owners in the plan area.

The intent of the displacement task force is to
establish measurements and collect data on those
measurements that can identify gentrification
and/or displacement of residents or businesses in
Downtown. The data gathering measures are
intended to establish baseline conditions which
will be used to compare to future conditions as
the Downtown area redevelops. The following
action items are included in the Plan:

Convening a displacement task force to explore
ways to provide opportunities for low-income
residents and merchants to remain in their
neighborhoods if displacement is observed. The
Task Force shall be convened in 2018, within 3
months of the release of the first annual report on
displacement.

Annually gathering data on lease rates, vacancy
rates, rent burden, rental rates, restricted
affordable housing covenant expirations, and, if
applicable, direct displacement for use by the task
force. An annual report on data gathered shall be
released for public review and input.

An Anti-Displacement Task Force was established by City Council in 2018 and Task Force appointees began meeting regularly in 2019, after which the Task Force decided to meet on a quarterly basis.

In 2019, the City hired the Thrivance Group to craft specific measurements applicable to key concerns identified by both homeowners and renters, including strategies to prevent displacement of both people and culture. Specifically, the Thrivance Group’s scope of work consisted of social climate analysis and data collection, identification of groups especially vulnerable to displacement, and strategy development to prevent and avoid displacement. Extensive community engagement around displacement was conducted. In 2021, the Thrivance Group produced the “Here to Stay: A Policy-Based Blueprint for Displacement Avoidance in Fresno” report for the City, which included suggested anti-displacement priorities and strategies.

The Anti-Displacement Task Force’s recommendations on displacement prevention priorities were presented to the Planning Commission in January 2022. The recommendations also informed the One Fresno Housing Strategy, presented to the City Council in April 2022. The goal of the One Fresno Housing Strategy, a three-year framework for fast- tracking the implementation of the City’s existing housing plans, is to “create an environment that leads to the 3-year completion, rehabilitation, and preservation of 6,926 affordable and 4,110 market- rate housing units by identifying available land, vacant property, and financial resources while deploying a wide range of development partners to increase housing options across the housing spectrum throughout the City.”
The One Fresno Housing Strategy contains 71 programs for accomplishing this goal, organized under the objectives of housing preservation, displacement prevention, and promotion of equity, with a special set of programs designed to house the unhoused. Programs that were adopted by the City Council in 2022 include:
• Allocation of $1,950,000 to the Central Fresno Neighborhood Trust, to prevent displacement and acquire and rehabilitate 50 units of rental housing;
• Allocation of $222,500 to Central California Land Trust, a mechanism that allows for permanent affordability;

13 City of Fresno’s Home Energy Tune-Up
(HETU) Program. The City of Fresno provides
the Home Energy Tune-Up (HETU) Program to
residents of Fresno and seven other counties from
Bakersfield to Stockton California in the PG&E
electric service territory. This program is funded
by California utility customers and administered
by PG&E under the auspices of the California
Public Utilities Commission. The City managed
the HETU program since 2011 and is committed
to continuing to provide local residents with this
vital service to help drive down energy costs,
improve indoor air quality, and make homes more
comfortable for Fresno residents.

Funding was discontinued for this program so the City has stopped offering this program. Instead, the City has focused on implementing the GHG Reduction Plan and pursued opportunities to ensure its municipal buildings are using energy resources efficiently. In 2021, the City finished energy efficiency and solar projects at Fresno City Hall and the Municipal Service Center (MSC) and launched several parks and Parks & Public Safety Energy Efficiency Projects in 2022. Projects include LED lighting upgrades, HVAC upgrades, system controls upgrades, transformer upgrades, installation of mobile backup generators at one Fire and at one police station, and energy efficiency improvements at parks in highest need neighborhoods.

14 Expedited Processing/Business Friendly
Fresno. The City’s Business Friendly Fresno
program presents prospective developers with an
easy-to-follow and customer-focused approval
process. The program has established
accountability and clear protocols and authority
for decision-making that align with the General
Plan and the Development Code. The City will
continue to implement the Business Friendly
Fresno program as it applies to residential
development projects and also continue to
provide fast track or one-stop permit processing
for housing developments affordable to lower-
income households or other priority housing
needs (i.e., extremely low-income, large families,
persons with disabilities, farmworkers). As
needed, the City will assess the incentives needed
to facilitate the development of affordable
housing.

The City has made several updates to the development review process to simplify and enhance the process for customers. The City also provides technical assistance and development incentives (e.g., Infill Incentive Fee Waivers) to make development cheaper and easier.

In 2017, Business Friendly Fresno completed the implementation of new Accela software to improve processing of applications, accountability, and transparency. In 2018 the City reorganized the Development Review Committee (DRC) such that applicants now work with one administrator who answers questions, receives and assigns submittals, and sends response letters. This new process has increased productivity, cost effectiveness, and responsiveness; initial feedback from applicants has been positive.

The Planning Division made additional updates to the DRC process in 2020 and 2021 to simplify and enhance the process. In 2021 and 2022, the Building & Safety Services Division made improvements to the permit and approval process for customers including hiring new staff members in key positions, creating a new review process and inspection team for mobile home parks, creating a streamlined housing team, creating an Accela Information Services Division Team, reducing timelines for back checks, developing a new electronic submittal record request (LP records), offering new standard plan templates for ADUs, and improving coordination between City departments to streamline site plan permit process.

Notably, in 2019, the City instituted a Money Back Guarantee Program to enforce mandatory processing timelines for planning entitlements and building plan check reviews but repealed the program in 2020 so the program is no longer effective. Between 2019 and 2020, there were no overdue plan reviews that resulted in any money being returned.

15 Development Incentives. The City will continue
to provide priority processing for the construction
of new housing in the Downtown Planning Area
by processing completed plans, consistent
rezoning, and Development Permit review and
Conditional Use Permit applications for permitting
within an average of 75 working days. The City
will continue to provide reduced application fees
The City has been generally successful in executing priority processing for new projects in the Downtown Planning area, with approvals being issued on average in less than 75 days. Additionally, the City continues to provide impact fee waivers for qualifying projects and offers reduced application fees and priority processing for single-family and multi- family projects within the Inner City Fee Program area.

and priority processing for single-family and
multi-family projects within the Inner City Fee
Program area, as referenced in the Municipal
Code, to create housing units. In addition, impact
fee waivers are available for qualifying infill
projects in priority areas of the City pursuant to
Ordinances 2013-21 (The Build Act), and Fresno
Municipal Code Article 4.14 (Fee Waivers for
Certain Projects in Economically Disadvantaged
Areas). As funding is available, the City will
reduce or subsidize development and impact fees
for affordable housing.
16 Large and Small Lot Development. The Sites
Inventory includes 2,644 acres of vacant and
underutilized sites that are over 10 acres in size
(53.8 percent of all residential capacity on vacant
and underutilized sites). To encourage a strategic
approach to the development of large sites and to
facilitate the development of housing, the City will
encourage the development of large sites through
an allowance of phasing of development and off-
site improvements and, where applicable, through
the Specific Plan process.

The City will assist interested developers/property
owners in identifying opportunities for lot
consolidation or lot splitting. The City will
continue to streamline the processing of requests
for lot consolidation and lot splitting concurrent
with other development reviews. The City will also
facilitate splitting of large lots to promote the
efficient use of land for residential development in
compliance with the Subdivision Map Act, when
an applicant submits an application. Currently, the
City utilizes tools such as ministerial processing
and other streamlining tools, as appropriate, to
facilitate lot merging and parcelization.

In 2016, the City reduced the Voluntary Parcel Merger application fee from $5,360 to $627 which resulted in the greatest number of Voluntary Parcel Mergers since the inception of the program in 2011. That year the City approved 15 voluntary parcel mergers. Between 2017 and 2022, the City approved between 14 and 22 parcel mergers per year.

Some of these projects involved Housing Element Sites while others did not. A monitoring program for large and small lots was established in July 2016 with procedures prepared as part of Program 2 above.

Between 2016 and 2022, construction occurred on 283 Housing Element sites that are under 1 acre and 83 sites that are over 10 acres.

There were also 3 projects that included sites that were both over 10 and under 1 (these projects were both rezoned in 2017 through the Southwest Fresno Specific Plan (SWFSP) adoption and associated General Plan cleanup).

The monitoring program also identifies affordability. Projects that occurred on Housing Element sites larger than 10 acres were not explicitly designated with an affordable housing component as they were typically developed as single family subdivisions.

Maintain program.

SECTION 1E-5: REVIEW OF PAST ACCOMPLISHMENTS
1E-5-26 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 Program Summary Progress Evaluation Recommendation
The City will also establish a program to monitor
development trends on small and large lots, identify
regulatory barriers, and adjust incentives and/or
development standards accordingly. The monitoring
program will include a threshold defining small and
large lots and may vary by neighborhood, community
plan area, or zoning district. The monitoring program
will include a biennial review of development on
large and small lots, and will seek input from
developers and property owners on regulatory
barriers to development of these lots. The monitoring
program will further track the percentage of
affordable units developed on large lots on an annual
basis and after the first year of monitoring, will
identify a minimum threshold of affordable units for
the total number of large lots. Monitoring will begin
upon receipt of the first application for development
on a large lot included within the sites inventory. If
the total number of affordable units being developed
on large lots does not reach the identified minimum
threshold beginning in the second year of monitoring,
then the City may develop and apply incentives in
order to encourage development of affordable units.

If development on large lots will lead to the need for
an amendment to the sites inventory, such analysis
will consider any necessary rezoning consistent with
Program 2.
16a
State Laws Related to Housing Development.

As part of an ongoing effort to ensure compliance
with emerging state laws, the City will identify
appropriate revisions to the City’s Development
Code and present them for consideration consistent
with FMC procedures. As part of this effort, the
City will work to increase awareness of standards
that allow second dwelling units, backyard
cottages, tiny houses and accessory living quarters
by providing written information at the City’s
planning counter and on the City’s website.

The Planning & Development Department regularly reviews and evaluates the latest State laws as they relate to the Development Code to determine what, if any, changes are needed to the Code.

Beginning in 2019, the City began providing information on State ADU standards and has continued to build its local program to encourage residents to develop ADUs. The City intends to amend the Development Code by 2024.

17 Agricultural Employees (Farmworker)
Housing. The California Employee Housing Act
requires that housing for six or fewer employees
be treated as a regular residential use. The
Employee Housing Act further defines housing
for agricultural workers consisting of 36 beds or
12 units as an agricultural use and permitted
where agricultural uses are permitted.

The City of Fresno Development Code allows
agricultural labor housing by right in the Buffer
(B) district and specifically indicates that in the
case of any conflict the California Health and
Safety Code relating to agricultural employee
housing, State law supersedes the Development
Code. The City will review the Fresno
Development Code to ensure continued
compliance with the California Employee
Housing Act. Based on the review of the
Development Code, the City will amend or revise
the Fresno Development Code, if needed, to
comply with the Employee Housing Act.

The Agricultural Employee Housing (AEH) Act was reviewed and no changes to the Development Code are necessary, because it currently meets the requirements of the AEH as Development Code Section 15- 2716 states “Regarding Agricultural Labor Housing, in the event of a conflict between this Code and California Health and Safety Code section 17021.6, relating to agricultural land use designations for employee housing, the Health and Safety Code shall prevail.” However, in order to increase clarity between the Code and State law, Planning staff will prepare a Text Amendment to update the Code's Use Tables to add "agricultural labor housing" as a permitted use in each zone that currently permits agricultural uses. Staff intends to pursue this update by 2024.

The City requires registration of all rental properties and they are subject to Baseline Health & Safety Inspections pursuant to a random sampling formula to ensure habitability. The purpose of the Proactive Rental Housing Improvement Program is to address the issue of substandard rental properties, promote greater compliance with health and safety standards and to preserve the quality of Fresno’s neighborhoods and available housing opportunities. Through the Proactive Rental Housing Improvement Program, 16,763 inspections have been conducted at both multi-family and single-family homes. The Reactive Inspection Team responds to all complaints of code violations received with regards to multi-family properties. They enforce substandard housing, public nuisance, and zoning violations. In 2022, reactive inspectors responded to 1,711 cases, successfully resolved 1,519 of them, and currently carry a case load of 234 active cases. The Anti-Slum Enforcement Inspection Team (ASET), in conjunction with the Police Department, Fire Department and County Housing Authority conducts proactive inspections of multi-family properties deemed to be slum properties based on Police, Fire, and Code Enforcement calls for service. They inspect the interior of all units, the exterior of all buildings and the property grounds for substandard building, public nuisance, and zoning code violations. The ASET Team currently has 13 cases open representing 161 units. The Mobile Home Inspection Team enforces the California Health & Safety Code, Mobilehome Parks Act and the California Code of Regulations Mobilehome Parks Act by investigating all Mobilehome and Mobilehome Park complaints at the 29 parks within the city of Fresno. In addition, the team conducts proactive maintenance inspections of mobilehome parks throughout the year. In 2022, the team conducted 9 park inspections representing 812 spaces.

The City has developed a supplementary map, "Fresno General Plan Housing Element Annual Progress Report for 2018 - City of Fresno Infrastructure Projects Completed (Capital Improvements and CDBG Funded) In Relation to Housing Sites," that addresses relationship between infrastructure projects and Housing Element sites. 22 Housing Rehabilitation. The City offers
programs that provide paint and minor repair to
seniors, distressed property grant, and home
rehabilitation funds for lower-income households.

These activities have been funded primarily with
HOME and CDBG program funds. The
Homeowner Rehabilitation Program provides a
grant to low-income, owner-occupied households
to make needed repairs and improvements to their
homes. The maximum allowable amount for a
rehabilitation grant is $65,000. The City also
offers a Senior Paint Program in the form of a
grant to low-income senior citizens (62 years of
age or older) who own and occupy their home.

Grant funds provide for a licensed lead-certified
painting contractor to paint the exterior of the
home. The Distressed Property Grant provides up
to $15,000 per property to assist low-income
homeowners with correction of code violations.

The Housing and Community Development Division (HCDD) works to complete housing rehabilitation projects for homeowners with low or moderate incomes. Between 2016 and 2022 projects were completed under the following programs:
- City of Fresno Senior Paint Program
- Fresno EOC Roof Program
- Minor Code Compliance Program
- Targeted Distressed Area Program
- Self Help Home Repair Program and
- Habitat for Humanity Home Repair Program
The rehabilitation programs experienced delays due to the COVID 19 pandemic. The City continued to support owner-occupied home repair programs by allocating $700,000 in Program Year 2022 CDBG funds to home repair programs for low- and moderate-income seniors. The funds were used to maintain the City’s in-house owner-occupied home repair programs. The City has also allocated $553,717 of its third allocation of PLHA to further its program focused on owner-occupied home rehabilitation for low-income people not eligible for funding through other programs, such as mobile home residents. Once the City receives its executed Standard Agreements for PLHA funds from the State, it will implement the program.

From 2016 to 2020, the City made annual contributions (~$40,000) to the Fair Housing Council of Central California (FHCCC) for education, complaint, and referral services. During this time, FHCC addressed an average of 800 fair housing complaints per year. A small percentage of complaints were referred to HUD for administrative or injunctive relief.

In 2019, FHCCC conducted a Systemic Testing project in Fresno to determine the commonality of discrimination in new home developments on the basis of race and familial status. All testing was done according to the available rental market. Results showed that people of color suffered some form of housing discrimination in new developments across the city 48 percent of the time (i.e., refusal to rent, lying about availability, or imposing different rules, terms, or conditions of tenancy).

The City completed an updated Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) in 2020. The AI includes an assessment of socioeconomic conditions, segregation and integration, access to opportunity, housing profile including publicly supported housing, housing for persons with disabilities, and fair housing activities.

Resources for Independence Central Valley also worked on an outreach and education program for vulnerable populations in the City with specific emphasis on easy-to- understand information on housing rights, housing discrimination, housing resources and subsidies, and overall fair housing issues. The City also allocated $580,000 of CDBG COVID-19 funds in 2020 and2021 to Community Housing Council to provide counseling to assist tenants and landlords impacted by COVID-19. Additionally, the City allocated $971,167 in 1st-year and $1,509,494 in 2nd-year Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds for a down payment assistance program for low- and moderate-income individuals. Once the City receives its executed Standard Agreements for PLHA funds from the State of California, it will implement the program.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-5-35 Program Summary Progress Evaluation Recommendation
General Plan identifies Priority Areas for
Development Incentives in Chapter 12
(Implementation), Figure IM-1. This figure identifies
areas that have been designated as a priority for
investment through policies established within the
Plan. It includes the Downtown Neighborhoods
Community Plan Area, Phase 1 and Phase 2 Bus
Rapid Transit (BRT) and High-Frequency Transit
Corridors, Infill Opportunity Zones (IOZs)— which
have been defined as established neighborhoods
generally south of Herndon Avenue—and the South
Industrial Area. While specific investments were not
identified in the General Plan, the City has focused
internally on ensuring that future discretionary and
formula dollars, especially related to housing,
community development, streets, transit, and parks,
align with these priority areas. To supplement this
effort and focus on the equitable distribution of
housing resource and public investment, the City will:

Publish a General Plan Annual Report every
December which will detail the location of public
investments as they relate to Figure IM-1 and Figure
IM-2 in the Plan, in addition to the location of
building permit activity by sector as a metric of
private investment. This report would be for use by
the public and by the Implementation Committee
described below as a basis for making
recommendations on General Plan implementation.

Establish a General Plan Implementation Committee
with cross-sector involvement from the private sector,
including developers and community organizations,
as well as other relevant public institutions, to review progress on the priorities established in the General
Plan to invest in older and disadvantaged
neighborhoods and continue to refine and review City
policy and practice to ensure investments and policies
are furthering the goals of the Plan. This committee
locations in 2022 – the Burroughs Elementary Neighborhood Street Reconstruction Project (Phase I) and the West Fresno Elementary and MLK Neighborhood Street Improvements Project. The City also funded additional projects for overall neighborhood street improvements – the Yosemite Middle School Complete Streets Project, the Ericson Elementary Neighborhood Project, the Highway City Neighborhood Reconstruction Project, the Maple-Gettysburg-Holland Street Reconstruction Project, the Olive-Maple-Whitney-Chestnut Street Reconstruction Project, the Shields-Cedar-Dakota-Maple Street Reconstruction Project, and the Burroughs Elementary Neighborhood Street Reconstruction Project (Phase II). Across these eight projects, it is estimated that the City will serve 66,685 people in low- and moderate-income areas. The City also used $4.9 million in CDBG funds and to acquire property on Blackstone Avenue for the future development of a city-wide senior center. The senior center is anticipated to be about 29,000 square feet and will provide various services and indoor and outdoor amenities. The 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan also identifies Affordable Housing Development in high opportunity areas as a priority. In 2022, the City allocated $3.1 million in HOME funds for Affordable Housing Development or Rehabilitation and an additional $3.6 million in CDBG funds for land acquisition in support of affordable housing development. Additionally, the City allocated 28.5% of its third allocation of Permanent Local Housing Allocation for development of Affordable Multifamily Rental Housing and 28.5% for development of Affordable Single-Family Housing, focusing on areas of opportunity. Out of the total PLHA allocations, the City will have $4.1 million for the development of Affordable Multifamily Rental Housing and another $4.1 million for the development of Single-Family Housing. The City is awaiting receipt of executed Standard Agreements from the State of California for these funds.

will convene in early 2017 and have opportunities to
provide annual recommendations to the City on
prioritization of future investments.

Continue implementing the written policies and
procedures that the City of Fresno Department of
Public Utilities has established that ensure water and
sewer services are to be provided as a priority for
developments that include units affordable to lower-
income households.

Track infrastructure projects in the City to assess the distribution of projects in the different areas of the
City. Seek out funding to address infrastructure and
public service deficiencies in high-need areas. As
funding sources allow, prioritize basic infrastructure
improvements including water, sewer, and street
lights in high-need communities.

As recommended by the Mayor/City Council Task
Force, consider a residential rental inspection
program to proactively ensure rental housing units in
the City of Fresno meet minimum health and safety
standards and are safe to occupy.

Assess the interaction between transportation network
pathways and affordable housing sites to identify any
barriers to affordable housing and employment access
by July 2018. An action plan with specific timelines
to address identified barriers will be developed within one year of completing the assessment.

Continue to actively seek resources for disadvantaged
communities throughout the City, including sources
such as Affordable Housing and Sustainable
Communities, Urban Greening, Housing Related
Parks, Active Transportation Program, Transit and
Intercity Rail Capital Program, Fresno COG Active
Transportation and TOD Funds, EPA Brownfields
Planning and Cleanup Programs, Highway Safety
Improvement Program, and other funds. The City
APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-5-37 Program Summary Progress Evaluation Recommendation
will actively seek resources annually and on an
ongoing basis. Wherever possible, the City will
partner with local community-based organizations
and local affordable housing developers to build
additional local capacity to seek funding and
implement programs. As part of the partnership with
community-based organizations, the City will explore
zoning opportunities with respect to a variety of
housing types, such as multi-family housing, in
several areas within the City, including high
opportunity areas. Beginning in 2019 and every two
years thereafter, the City will present rezoning
options for vacant land in high opportunity areas for
Council consideration in order to provide
opportunities for higher density development in all
areas of the City. Rezoning option presentations shall
include at least five sites, between one and ten acres
in size. The City will identify and pursue
opportunities to promote the development of
affordable and mixed-income housing on rezoned
sites through outreach to affordable housing
developers and supporting the attainment of
financing, such as CDBG, HOME Funds, tax credits,
and state AHSC funds. These rezoning option
presentations are not part of a program described by
Government Code Section 65583(c)(1)(A). Finally,
specific planning efforts should emphasize
incentivizing multi-family housing in high
opportunity areas.

Expand affordable housing opportunities that prevent
the concentration of single-family and multifamily
dwelling units affordable to low- and moderate-
income households. This includes, but is not limited
to Development and Resource Management
Department facilitation and streamlining of owner-
initiated zoning and General Plan land use
amendments that expand affordable housing
opportunities outside of low- and moderate-income
areas for Council consideration, consistent with FMC

1E-5-38 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 Program Summary Progress Evaluation Recommendation
procedures. It also includes the City’s monitoring
program (Program 2) to ensure maintenance of
adequate housing sites with capacity to accommodate
lower income housing, and the inclusion of
affordable housing options in the zoning code, such
as tiny houses, which are currently allowed as
accessory buildings.

Work with the Fresno Housing Authority to assist
households in using vouchers to rent in higher-
opportunity areas and to identify landlords who are
willing to accept vouchers in communities where
vouchers are infrequently used. Develop a
recommendation of best practices to target areas for
voucher education, such as areas with high-
performing schools or areas with high Area Median
Income, as well as areas near jobs and transit.
28 Relocation Services. In certain situations, tenants
who have been served with a notice to vacate
may be entitled to relocation assistance. Where
individuals or families are displaced due to
redevelopment or rehabilitation activities funded
by the City, the City shall provide relocation
assistance as prescribed by law.

Temporary relocation assistance was provided to tenants of the Glenn Avenue Apartments in 2016 during rehabilitation efforts.

There was no relocation assistance required during 2017-2019.

The Fresno Housing Authority had two sites with relocation during 2020. Mariposa Commons completed construction in mid-2020, and 28 families received relocation assistance to pay for moving expenses to return. Housing Authority also submitted a permanent relocation plan to the City for its proposed Blackstone/Simpson mixed-use project which displaced a small auto sales business and the City approved the plan on February 16, 2021.

There was no relocation assistance required during 2021-2022.

FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-6-1 SECTION 1E-6: PUBLIC OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT
State law requires cities and counties to make a diligent effort to achieve participation from all segments of the community in preparing a Housing Element. Section 65583[c][6] of the California Government Code specifically requires that “[t]he local government shall make a diligent effort to achieve public participation of all economic segments of the community in the development of the Housing Element, and the program shall describe this effort.” This means that local jurisdictions must take active steps to inform, involve, and solicit input from the public, particularly low-income and racial and ethnic households that might otherwise not participate in the process.

To meet the requirements of State law, the City of Fresno completed outreach at both the local level and as part of the regional Fresno County Multi -Jurisdictional Housing Element effort to encourage community involvement. These efforts included:
▪ Information about the Housing Element posted on the Regional Project Website (https://fresnomjhe.com/housing-elements/)
▪ Stakeholder Consultations and Focus Groups
▪ Study Sessions with Planning Commissions, City Councils, and the County Board of Supervisors ▪ Community Workshops
▪ Community Survey
Regional efforts which included a community workshop, consultations, and a community survey, were facilitated with the California Coalition of Rural Housing (CCRH). These efforts are all discussed in Chapter 1 (Public Outreach and Engagement) of the Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element. In addition to the outreach coordinated through the Multi -Jurisdictional Housing Element update, the City of Fresno partnered with the Housing Division to conduct community meetings and contracted with a local nonprofit, Every Neighborhood Partnership (ENP) , to help conduct meetings throughout the city in order to receive broader input from more residents and stakeholders.

Community Workshops and Meetings
The City, from August 2022 to August 2023, conducted a number of community workshops and meetings on the Housing Element update. Table 1E-6.1 summarizes the workshops and meetings held to date , followed by more details on each event.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-6-3 Event #1: Community Workshop (August 31, 2022)
The first community workshop for the Housing Element update was held on August 31, 2022 in -person at Manchester Gate Elementary School to provide information on the Housing Element and solicit input from the community. The City notified the community of this meeting with flyers distributed in English, Spanish, Hmong and Punjabi through the Fresno Council of Governments (FCOG) listserv of regional stakeholders and community-based organizations (CBOs), and through the Fresno Housing Authority. Linguistica interpreters were available for Spanish, Hmong, and Punjabi monolingual s peakers. Materials in Spanish, Hmong and Punjabi were available in-person at the workshop and online at the project website, accessible via QR code.

An Eventbrite registration page and Facebook event was created advertising that Spanish, Hmong, and Punjabi language interpretation would be provided, along with refreshments, and activities for kids. Flyers were sent out through the Fresno Housing Authority to affordable housing residents. City staff distributed the event to the email lists that they maintain for General Plan updates and the Anti-Displacement Task Force. Fresno City Community Affairs Representatives distributed the event to Hmong and Punjabi speaking communities.

SECTION 1E-6: PUBLIC OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT
1E-6-4 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 In the presentation, members of the public were introduced to the process of developing the Housing Element both for the region and for the City of Fresno. They were also given information about current housing conditions in the region and in Fresno and we re invited to participate in a discussion about local housing needs. The discussion was prompted by the following questions:
▪ What are Fresno’s greatest assets?
▪ What do you think are the most critical housing issues in Fresno? ▪ What groups within the community have the greatest housing needs? ▪ What are Fresno’s most significant fair housing issues? ▪ Do you have suggestions for addressing housing issues in Fresno? ▪ Any suggestions for getting more community involvement? There were 22 community participants that attended the event and about 5 attendees were Spanish monolingual speakers and they received interpretation from Linguistica. Attendees expressed that some of the most critical issues in Fresno are related to affordability, lack of information and education, and lack of community amenities. Participants identified a number of special needs groups including residents with low incomes, undocumented residents, seniors, single -parent families, people with disabilities a nd mental disabilities, and college students/youth. When asked about Fresno’s most significant fair housing issues, participants alluded to historical disinvestment in southwest and west Fresno, access to credit, housing costs, and access to opportunities. Participants expressed support for building more affordable housing and suggested the City develop more programs to provide financial assistance to low-income families, funding to rehabilitate homes, rent control, and more housing near amenities like groc ery stores. Participants also made suggestions for increasing community involvement in the Housing Element update. Below is a summary of feedback, along with responses to discussion questions.

FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-6-7 Events #2-10: Community and Stakeholder Meetings
(October/November 2022)
Between October 27, and November 28, 2022, a series of joint community meetings were held by the City of Fresno Long Range Planning Division and the Housing Division to gather feedback from community members and stakeholder organizations about the Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element and the Annual Action Plan. The format of the meetings included a presentation at the beginning, followed by 6 subject specific staff facilitated tables (Public Infrastructure and Facilities, Fair Housing/Compliance, Public Services, Homelessness and Homelessness Prevention, Affordable Housing, and Housing Element) where the public shared their thought on each subject, then the staff member at each table shared with the larger group the key points shared at their table, and the meeting concluded with each participant voting on their highest priorities.

Community members were invited to vote on suggestions at virtual and in-person meetings. The goals, and activity suggestions, are outlined below to provide a high-level overview of input received.

SECTION 1E-6: PUBLIC OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT
1E-6-10 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 Events #11-15: Community Workshops (February/March 2023) Five meetings were organized and facilitated by Every Neighborhood Partnership (ENP) and the Fresno Community Economic Development Partnership (CEDP) Community Development Corporations (CDC).

A total of 131 members of the community attended the five meetings.

Facilitators or City staff delivered a presentation of the Housing Element then community members were invited to participate in an activity to discuss the following four questions: Critical Housing Issues, Most Impacted Groups, Suggestions and Solutions, and Programs Missing from the Fresno Housing Element. All the meetings had the same presentation, but not all used the same format of asking questions. Hidalgo, Lowell, and Southwest had each question on a poster for participants to write their response on directly or via a post- it note. At the Southwest workshop, the last framing question was reworded to be Southwest specific, “What were the most significant housing issues in Southwest?” With this distinction, the methodology provided by these communities that engaged with the poster activity were much more concise. El Dorado’s outreach data was gathered through recorded staff notes that documented the community discussion. Highway City’s outreach data was taken from written notes from table discussion leaders and participant post-it notes recorded into a Word document. They had a very open discussion on housing issues, needs, and solutions in Fresno and their comments were placed into framing questions after the fact. This adds a level of subjectivity since the participants were not specifically asked the framing questions at the meeting.

Figure 1E-6.4: One of the Five Community Workshops for the Housing Element Update

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-6-11 The comments collected at the events were grouped into common categories to organize and document every participant’s feedback. Then each category was scored based on frequency to track which concerns were the most prevalent and reoccurring. While the five communities chosen shared some glaring similarities the data also indica tes there are also unique concerns between the way each community prioritized them. As an example, even though one community may not prioritize the unhoused population during question 2 of “impacted communities”, there was interest for providing housing to the unhoused population in response to question 3.

Many responses were very passionate and offered multiple points that fit multiple categories. Which made it difficult to fit into one subject. This posed a challenge on whether to include the full comment as one "tallying point" or to break it up into mult iple categories. Directing instructions to the public also affected response accuracy as sometimes participants answered all framing questions in one comment and placed it separately from the directed framing question. These factors, together with the pote ntial for a degree of human error, may impact how the values are calculated slightly, but the results still represent the main concerns of the community proportionally.

Summary of Feedback
The high-level themes are placed in order by the total number of comments provided in parenthesis, from high to low. The numbers provided represent the frequency of the responses provided. ▪ Critical Housing Issues

FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-6-13 Events #16-21: Community Workshops on the Public Review Draft (July/August 2023)
City staff organized, facilitated, and assisted with public outreach and engagement for s ix community workshops in July and August 2023 to receive input on the Public Review Draft Housing Element. Five of these meetings were held in collaboration with ENP and the CEDP CDCs. To expand the participation beyond the CEDP boundaries, City staff sent out four citywide email blasts with a reach of 27,000 resident subscribers with an average open rate of 60 percent. Four social media posts were also shared with 33,000 city-based followers.

A total of 166 members of the community attended the six meetings which took place during the 30 -day public comment period (July 17 to August 16) on July 20, July 22, July 28, August 3, August 8, and August

9. City staff provided a high level summary of the draft Housing Element, focusing on the actions and programs outlined in the document and how the programs relate to the community’s input from earlier workshops. There were group and breakout discussions where participants were asked to provide feedback on the programs provided in the Housing Element, to share thoughts, suggestions, and solutions to critical housing issues facing residents, and to share any other general comments. The City received almost 200 comments at the various workshops. These comments are summarized below.

Summary of Feedback
Feedback indicated the following priorities among the participants:

Fair Housing
▪ Encourage a Variety of Affordable Housing Options . F acilitate the development of new - income-restricted affordable housing, including senior, workforce, student housing, and accessory dwelling units
▪ Tenant Protections . Create protections for tenants who report violations and may experience retaliation
▪ Land Use . Prohibit the development of new uses that produce high amounts of truck traffic, particulate matter, noise and odors adjacent to existing neighborhoods; and prohibit the development of new residential uses adjacent to existing industrial uses.

SECTION 1E-6: PUBLIC OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT
1E-6-18 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 Programs 2, 3, 16 and 24 address the first bullet; Program 34 addresses the second one. Regarding the third bullet: Changes were made to Program 17, Surplus Public Lands, to remove any inconsistencies in land use. In addition, Program 27, Environmental Justice, responds to this concern.

Civic Engagement
▪ Increase Transparency and Efficacy. Increase access to information about proposed projects, allow for feedback to be received through a variety of mediums, and improve communication on how feedback was received and considered.
▪ Implement Varied Community Forums. Provide community members with varied platforms and opportunities to provide feedback and maximize participation, such as through conducting neighborhood-based meetings.

Changes were made to Program 29, Equitable Engagement, to address these concerns.

Discussions with Affordable Housing Partners (October 2024) Prior to finalizing the Housing Element, the City met with Self Help Enterprises, Habitat for Humanity, and Fresno Housing to review the Action Plan and obtain any additional feedback. Concerns mainly focused on streamlining the entitlement and building permit processes and further defining roles regarding community land trusts. As a result of these conversations, revisions were made to the following programs:
▪ Program 4: Streamline Development Review Process
▪ Program 11: Incentives for Affordable Housing
▪ Program 14: Partnerships with Affordable Housing Developers ▪ Program 16: Community Land Trust
Summary of Revisions Made to Address Feedback on the Public Review Draft In addition to feedback received during the community workshops, the City also received a number of public comment letters on the Public Review Draft Housing Element, which can be found in Section 1E-8, Public Comments Received on the Housing Element. The City reviewed all of the comment letters and workshop comments received, as well as letters directed at the regional level to the Multi -Jurisdictional Housing Element. This feedback helped inform revisions made to the Public Review Draft before submitting to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for State -mandated review. To help the reader easily identify revisions made, a track changed version of the draft Housing Element was also released and made available on the City’s website and the Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element website.

Below is a high-level summary of revisions made, by chapter, to the Public Review Draft to address public comments.

Planning Commission and City Council Study Session s (September 2022 and July 2023)
A study session was held with the City Council on September 29, 2022 to discuss the Housing Element Update and process. The study session was open to the public and held in person, with a livestream option to reach members of the public who could not atten d in person. CCRH staff supported City staff and presented an overview of the Housing Element update process and required contents of the element, discussed early strategies to meet the City’s RHNA, reviewed new state laws, and solicited feedback from the City Council and community members on these strategies and other housing needs in Fresno.

Commentary was limited and no public comment related to fair housing was received at the meeting; instead, council members expressed concern regarding the implications of new and changing housing legislation on small cities with limited financial resources.

After release of the Public Review Draft Housing Element, the City held study sessions with the Planning Commission on July 19, 2023, and City Council on July 20, 2023, to review the plan and solicit feedback before submitting to HCD for State-mandated review. These meetings were open to the public and held in person, with a livestream option available to reach those who could not attend in person. Clarifying questions were asked during both study sessions. No public comments were received at the meetings.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-6-21 Regional Focus Groups (October/November 2022)
Two regional focus groups were held as part of the Housing Element development process to receive a broad range of input from local and regional stakeholders including staff, community organizations and non-profits, and project consultants . Stakeholders were presented with information about the Housing Element process, particularly sections regarding community needs and fair housing, and were given the opportunity to weigh in on community needs. The first Regional Stakeholder Focus Group Meeting was held on Tuesday October 25th from 9:30 to 11:30 am and the second Regional Stakeholder Focus Group Meeting was held on Tuesday November 15th from 9:30 to 11:30am.

Stakeholders described the rising cost of housing, the shortage of affordable housing available in the city, multifamily or single-family unit types, as well as the economic disadvantages to market rate developers to build affordable housing. Some key topi cs that came up as regional housing issues: corporate acquisition of mobile home parks, over -reliance on commercially zoned property to accommodate RHNA (not much higher density zoning in the County relative to commercial), outdated community plans hinderi ng development, and difficulties securing funding for new housing in low resource areas. There was also a fair amount of discussion on the need for more outreach and education to increase awareness/accessibility of existing assistance programs, and financi al literacy to help low -income residents better compete for affordable housing/home ownership opportunities.

Regional and Local Stakeholder Consultations (Summer/Fall 2022) Consultations were conducted with service providers and other stakeholders who represent and/or provide services to different socioeconomic groups in the Fresno County region to obtain input on housing needs and programs. Throughout the summer and fall of 2022, several interviews were conducted with stakeholders who work in areas such as housing, homelessness, and other social services in Fresno and throughout the Fresno County area. The following organizations and stakeholders provided input and below is a summary of the feedback received.

Fair Housing Council of Central CA
Regional outreach efforts for the Multi -Jurisdictional Housing Element included interviewing t he Fair Housing Council of Central California (FHCCC), a non-profit, civil rights organization dedicated to the elimination of discrimination in housing and the expansion of housing opportunities for all persons. FHCCC provides a multifaceted program of private enforcement, education and outreach, research and advocacy to affirmatively further the goal of equal housing opportunity in the San Joaquin Valley.

SECTION 1E-6: PUBLIC OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT
1E-6-22 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 In response to the request for input, FHCC noted that the most common fair housing issues reported throughout Fresno County are discrimination on the bases of disability and race. FHCC emphasized a need for more government involvement in enforcement of fair housing laws. Currently, affordable housing options are often concentrated in specific neighborhoods. When developers are encouraged to continue to build affordable units in these areas as a result of zoning or other government regulations, this results in either intentional or unintentional segregation based on income. When asked about opportunities for local governments to actively improve outreach regarding fair housing and to combat existing issues, FHCC identified several opportunities including loca l rent controls to manage affordability and reduce displacement risk, code enforcement to ensure a safe and habitable housing stock, funding fair housing groups such as FHCC to enforce fair housing laws, and adjusting regulations or encouraging development of a variety of unit types and sizes throughout the jurisdiction to promote mobility and integration.

Further, they expressed concern about the aging multifamily housing stock becoming uninhabitable due to physical conditions. However, given the shortage of affordable housing in the region, FHCC noted that many units that have already physically deteriorat ed are still occupied, posing a risk to occupants.

Discrimination by landlords or agents as well as deliberate segregation has resulted in fair housing concerns, particularly for protected and special needs populations, such as persons with disabilities and lower-income households.

Fresno Housing Authority
There are two divisions of the Housing Authority operating within the region; one is for the City of Fresno and a separate authority for the rest of the County. Two representatives from the Fresno County Housing Authority were interviewed as part of regional outreach for the Multi -Jurisdictional Housing Element update. The representatives noted that there is tremendous demand for housing in all communities in Fresno County. The last time the Section 8 waiting list opened they received more than 50,000 applications.

Recently, when a 60 -unit development in Clovis opened, t hey received more than 10,000 applications.

When a project in downtown Fresno opened, they received 4,000 applications within a two -week period.

Rents are high, which is challenging for residents but good for developers. The region needs more housing opportunities for people experiencing homelessness but in rural and unincorporated communities, lack of water and sewer capacity are major concerns for additional housing development altogether.

Representatives noted that entitlement processing timelines have been a barrier to development for the Housing Authority. There is also a lack of capacity among agencies that provide services in rural and unincorporated areas. This is especially challenging for special needs populations that need mental health services. The Housing Authority is following the State’s lead in providing housing in high opportunity areas. There are lots of incentives to do this to compete for tax credits and other state funding programs.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-6-23 Fresno Madera Continuum of Care
The Fresno Madera Continuum of Care (FMCoC) is a collaborative of agencies that work together to provide homeless services; however, FMCoC is not a legal entity and does not provide direct services . A representative from the FMCoC provided input on housing needs and programs for the Housing Element.

At present, the representative noted that the biggest concern is that there is insufficient low-income housing for those who are homeless (or at risk of becoming homeless). Many people in the region are on a fix ed income, including disability or social security, and cannot afford housing.

Llaves De Tu Casa
The Llaves De Tu Casa Iniciativa is a financial education program open to all County of Fresno residents but with a focus on increasing Latino homeownership rates. The partners driving the initiative are NAHREP (National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals) Fresno, the City of Fresno, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLBank) of San Francisco, Self-Help Enterprises, and Union Bank. As a follow-up to the regionwide stakeholder focus groups held in October and November 2022, a collection of members from the Llaves de tu Casa Iniciativa (LDTC) met on December 13, 2022, to respond to several stakeholder interview questions.

The opportunities for future housing in the region that the initiative members identified included the initiative’s ability to provide homeownership education virtually and in partnership with other local organizations. There has been a lack of financial l iteracy in the community along with challenges in using technology and language barriers. The initiative members expressed concerns about affordability, including the location of affordable housing in undesirable areas. Upzoning single -family zoning would create more opportunities for the development of multifamily housing in more desirable locations. Some funding is only available in certain areas, which can exacerbate existing patterns of segregation and close proximity to industrial uses. They also expre ssed concern about investors displacing community members in order to establish short-term rentals while community members live in hotels. The State’s mandate to install solar panels on new homes was also cited as an additional cost that will drive up the buyers’ or renters’ cost.

The gap between ownership housing affordability and program income limits was identified as a barrier to accessing housing. Moderate-income households earn too much to qualify for housing assistance, but those who qualify cannot afford the housing availabl e. In addition to a lack of multifamily rental housing, there aren’t enough condo buildings in the region, which could present another affordable homeownership strategy. The establishment of land trusts was also identified as a potential strategy for incre asing affordability, as well as donations of land from municipalities.

Northern California Carpenters Regional Council (NCCRC) The Northern California Carpenters Regional Council (NCRCC), also known as the Nor Cal Carpenters Union, is a labor union representing carpenters and other construction trade workers in Northern California. It provides members with training, apprenticeship programs, benefits, and collective bargaining agreements to ensure fair wages and working conditions. The Nor Cal Carpenters Union has a number of committees working for equal rights for all members including women, minorities and veterans, and work to build empowerment and mutual support. A representative from the union provided input on housing needs and programs for the Housing Element update.

SECTION 1E-6: PUBLIC OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT
1E-6-24 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 The union representative acknowledged that labor unions have not been strong housing advocates in the past, but they are trying to change that dynamic as the housing crisis across the state has created more sense of urgency which is an opportunity for NCCRC because more housing production means more construction jobs for the Fresno community.

At present, NCCRC is concerned that there is a shortage of labor supply to meet that housing need. COVID has had a significant effect on office building construction and NCCRC noted this as an opportunity for construction workers to pivot to residential building , if more favorable working conditions are instituted.

Currently, many of the union’s members are not a part of residential development because the working conditions are not good. Even with the prevailing wage requirements for affordable housing, NCCRC insinuated that developers are able to work around these requirements to reduce their costs. This is a statewide issue, but the problem is even more pronounced in Fresno, for example, construction workers are

3.9 percent of the total labor force. California-wide construction industry/trades workers are meanwhile 4.3 percent of the total labor for ce. So, by California standards Fr esno does not have, in relative terms, an abundant supply of construction workers. NCCRC would like to see the shortage of labor (both statewide and in Fresno County) identified as a constraint in the Housing Element rather than the cost of labor and would like the Housing Element to include policy language related to a local hiring preference.

Leadership Counsel for Justice and Accountability
The Leadership Counsel for Justice and Accountability (Leadership Counsel) advocates at the local, regional, and statewide levels on the overlapping issues of land use, transportation, climate change, safe and affordable drinking water, housing, environmen tal justice, equitable investment, and government accountability. Based in the San Joaquin and Eastern Coachella Valleys, Leadership Counsel services include community organizing, research, legal representation, and policy advocacy. Representatives of Leadership Counsel expressed concern about the ongoing sprawl in the city. Stakeholders advocated for investment in existing communities that don’t have fair access to clean drinking water. Leadership Counsel strongly urges for actions to affirmatively further fair housing (AFFH) and incorporate into programs.

Representatives noted that there is a need for more affordable housing and that the City is not making enough progress toward meeting the very low- and low-income RHNA. Leadership Counsel representatives noted that unmet needs include infrastructure, access to parks, medical centers, roads, transit, schools, etc.

Regarding housing conditions, Leadership Counsel representatives noted aging mobile homes and general stock that is not maintained resulting in poor condition s. Leadership Counsel encourages the Housing Element to incorporate policies and programs from the City’s recently published Anti-Displacement report.

Specific suggestions included long-term rental assistance, tenant protections from landlord retaliation, inclusionary zoning requirements, addressing prior evictions on rental applications, and criminal records on housing applications.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-6-25 Central Valley Urban Institute
Central Valley Urban Institute (CVUI) is an advocacy organization working throughout the San Joaquin Valley. The organization’s goal is to build economic and social mobility for low -income communities.

CVUI indicated that opportunities for this Housing Element cycle are to increase affordable housing stock production, particularly within infill areas and brownfields as well as to increase homeownership through programs like the downpayment assistance program. CVUI expressed concerns about high building cost s, lack of financing, and poor leadership in the area. Regarding housing needs, CVUI described that community members want intergenerational housing, middle-income housing, and “missing-middle” sized housing. Homelessness was also a primary concern, particularly among college -aged youth. In addition, CVUI noted that there are in adequate opportunities for homeownership or adequate rental housing. The largest barriers are access to credit, lack of financial education, and existing housing cost burden. There is also a lack of investment in programs that serve low to moderate-income communities.

Law Office of Patience Milrod – Civil Rights Attorney
Patience Milrod, a civil rights attorney in the Fresno area, w as interviewed to provide feedback on the FCOG Housing Element update. Ms. Milrod supports the continued attention to inclusionary housing and has concerns about the passive language of “facilitate” and “encourage” that have been common in past Housing Elements. She identified poor housing conditions and was adamant about bolstering code enforcement efforts to improve housing quality . With more aggressive code enforcement in place, she suggested that some landlords may decide that the cost of maintaining their property isn’t worthwhile and may choose to sell to a community land trust or Habitat for Humanity rather than entering receivership.

According to Ms. Milrod, the biggest barrier to finding affordable, decent housing in the region is that lower-cost housing tends to also be low quality or ill maintained. Ms. Milrod offered several suggestions for the Housing Element including:
▪ Inclusionary housing
▪ Code Enforcement
▪ Community Land Trusts
▪ Mobile home parks protections.
▪ Work with nonprofits to ensure that they are able to buy before properties go into receivership. ▪ Instead of “facilitate and encourage” we need specific programs and timelines and responsible parties.

SECTION 1E-6: PUBLIC OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT
1E-6-26 FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 BIA of Fresno/Madera Counties
The Building Industry Association of Fresno/Madera Counties (BIA) is an industry organization that represents builders, developers, subcontractors, and affiliated businesses in the residential, commercial, and industrial building industry throughout the region. BIA identified that the biggest opportunities for housing in the region are increased demand, downpayment assistance and homeowner maintenance programs. BIA expressed concerns about local regulations, including the City of Fresno’s Zoning and Development Code.

BIA members say that it’s hard to get a project through the City’s processes, specifically noting convoluted processes, and mitigation measures that go beyond requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). BIA estimates Fresno’s processes take six months to a year. This is compared to two months in the City of Clovis. In part because everything has to go through City Attorney’s office – even standard agreements. When there is an issue with the agreement, project has to go back to council to fix it. Whereas, there is a delegated authority in other cities.

BIA acknowledged that streamlining tools have helped a little, but not enough. The concern is that the development areas west of Highway 99 are generally rural residential composed of parcels with multiple property owners, annexation limitations, and infrastructure constraints . For market rate housing, the BIA noted that t he statewide shift to all-electric utilities rather than gas is a concern because of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) regulations. Across the FCOG region, public transit isn’t reliable, and a car is necessary to get around. Builders have to pay a fee to get around the cost of mitigating car miles unless city councils can make a finding of an unavoidable impact. For affordable housing, the prevailing wage requirements are a barrier to development due to the increased cost. Infrastructure costs also affect both types of projects.

Streamlining tools help control costs, but not enough. A lack of local water access i s also a barrier to development. BIA expressed concern that the State assigned the RHNA without this in mind because there may not be enough water access to support the housing development that the State is looking to see.

In BIA’s experience, apartments are in demand but single-family homes are in the greatest demand. There is a lot of demand for low -income housing projects, but these aren’t financially viable for developers without government subsidy. However, including government subsidy in projects increases the overall cost to build, as it triggers prevailing-wage requirements. A recent affordable development in the City of Fresno at Blackstone Avenue and McKinley Avenue cost around $400,000 per unit to build.

Resources for Independence Central Valley
Resources for Independence, Central Valley (RICV) is 1 of 28 Centers for Independent Living in California.

Independent Living Centers, like RICV, are community -benefit, nonprofit organization run by and for persons with disabilities. RICV provides a founda tion of core consumer -controlled, community -based, cross-disability and person-focused programs and assistance. A representative from RICV provided written feedback on housing needs and programs for the Housing Element. The representative expressed concern about laws in the City of Fresno that prevent homeless community members from camping or living in their cars. Homelessness is increasing, but the City is investing resources in enforcing these laws rather than providing assistance. There is funding to move homeless people around, but not to improve anyone’s living situation.

APPENDIX 1E: CITY OF FRESNO
FRESNO MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HOUSING ELEMENT | DECEMBER 2024 1E-6-27 Additionally, affordability limits are causing challenges for residents to qualify for affordable housing.

Community members with disabilities in Fresno experience additional challenges trying to find homes that have necessary accessibility features. For renters, these improvements may be more challenging to implement, and those who use service or support animals may experience discrimination against pets.

Homeowners with disabilities end up needing to make expensive home improvements in order to make their homes accessible for themselves. RICV also noted stated that there is a lack of diversity in the housing stock and that the region needs more townhomes , condominiums, and entry level housing options. Higher density housing near transit or major transportation corridors can provide more opportunities for ADA housing accommodations and designs.

Regarding equity and fair housing, RICV identified access to credit and credit checks as a barrier to fair housing choice and/or equitable access to opportunity. In addition, RICV described language barriers as a barrier when it comes to applying for housing and not being able to get information or communication with property management. Generally, the lack of affordability for lower income households is the largest concern as rental housing can require deposit and/or income requirements that are unattainable.
