The 2023-24 Youth Council chose to work on a group project instead of individual projects. The project will be a Sustainability Fair to be held on April 6, 2024. The event will bring together members of the community to learn about ways that they can help take simple steps to put the five R’s of Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Rot into practice in their everyday lives. Some of the activities will include BINGO for Books, a sewing workshop, a Fix it workshop, a kids activities area, and more. More information on the event will become available soon.

FROM: OCTAVIO HURTADO, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR / CITY

ENGINEER
RE: CONSIDERATION OF EASEMENT MODIFICATION AGREEMENT
AT APN 026-517-022, LOCATED AT 100 KING STREET
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the City Council: 1) adopt Resolution No. 2023-4972, accepting the proposed Easement Modification Agreement; and 2) authorize the City Manager to execute the Easement Modification Agreement.

BACKGROUND:

Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is upgrading its communication systems in a continuing effort to provide safe and reliable service to its customers.

To facilitate this project, PG&E is proposing to secure an Easement Modification Agreement to allow for the installation of underground utility lines necessary for the communication line being installed. It is currently located at the Pocket Park at the corner of King Street and Beech Street identified as Monterey County Assessor’s Parcel Number 026-517-022 and a physical address of 100 King Street. The proposed easement is a modification to an existing 10 foot overhead electrical easement totaling roughly 1,340 square feet.

DISCUSSION:

There are currently two easements on the Pocket Park parcel. One is for the above mentioned overhead electrical poles and lines and one is for an underground gas line. The purpose of the underground use is to construct PG&E’s All-Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS) Fiber Conduit Installation Project.

TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER
RE: CONSIDERATION OF CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT

FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG)

GRANT WRITING, ADMINISTRATION AND LABOR

COMPLIANCE
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the City Council: 1) approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Consultant Services Agreement with Adams Ashby Group for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Grant Writing, Administration and Labor Compliance; and 2) authorize the City Manager to make non-substantive changes as necessary approved as to form by the City Attorney.

BACKGROUND:

A contract services agreement with Adams Ashby Group was approved by the City Council in 2017 and renewed for a 5-year period in 2018 to prepare and administer CDBG grants for the City. The City has submitted a number of CDBG applications and has been successful in receiving approval for several of them.

These include $500,000 for the ProYouth HEART after-school expanded learning program, $3.5 million for sidewalk improvements, $250,000 for design of the wastewater treatment plant, and the CARES Act CDBG funding programs.

Those included business assistance grants, the COVID-19 Community Assistance Coordinator, and housing and utility assistance programs. Adams Ashby Group has also assisted the City in providing long-range monitoring for the City’s King Station HOME grant and assistance with other grants administered by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

The City’s contract with Adams Ashby Group expired in October 2023. As a result, staff issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) consistent with CDBG and other HCD requirements. It was distributed to a long list of consultants and posted on the Public Purchase website.

CONSIDERATION OF CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) GRANT WRITING,

ADMINISTRATION AND LABOR COMPLIANCE
NOVEMBER 14, 2023
PAGE 2 OF 3
DISCUSSION:

Two proposals were received from the following firms:
• Adams Ashby Group
• Michael Baker International
The proposals were evaluated by a Review Committee consisting of the City Manager, City Engineer and Planner. They were reviewed based on the following criteria:
• Capacity to perform the required scope of work
• Assigned staff’s experience
• Proposal pricing
• Availability
Based on that evaluation, the Review Committee recommends the City Council approve a contract services agreement with Adams Ashby Group. A copy of the contract, RFP and proposal are attached. It is proposed the contract be established for a 5-year term, which is the longest allowed by CDBG regulations.

COST ANALYSIS:

The cost for preparing applications is $3,000 to $7,500 depending on the type of grant. Other grant administration costs are outlined in the contract and proposal, but those costs are all funded from the grants. Therefore, the application costs are the only ones that impact the City’s General Fund budget.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The contract for grant assistance is not a “project” for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as it does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change to the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Environmental review has already been completed for the sidewalk plan when it was approved. No further action is required under CEQA for City Council action.

ALTERNATIVES:

The following alternatives are presented for Council consideration:

1. Approve staff’s recommendations;

2. Modify and approve the Agreement;

FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER
RE: CONSIDERATION OF CERTIFICATION OF LOCAL FUNDING

FOR PURCHASE OF A FIRE RESCUE UTILITY TRUCK
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the City Council: 1) adopt a Resolution certifying the commitment of local funding for the purchase of a Fire Rescue Utility Truck to meet the requirements of a USDA Community Facilities Grant; and 2) increase the amount budgeted and appropriated from the Fire Facilities Development Impact Fee Fund to $175,000.

BACKGROUND:

When the FY 2021-22/FY 2022-23 Biennial Budget was approved, the City Council authorized funding for a new Fire Rescue Utility Truck in the Capital Improvement Program. The Fire Department submitted a request during the budget process to replace the current vehicle, which has reached its useful life.

It is 20 years old and has over 125,000 miles.

The vehicle is a critical emergency access apparatus. It is used primarily to respond to vehicle accidents and smaller fires. Its smaller size and mobility make it both more efficient and effective to position at an accident to utilize lifesaving equipment when compared to a large fire engine.

At the August 10, 2021 meeting, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a purchase agreement with Golden State Apparatus for purchase of the equipment. Unfortunately, production of the vehicle experienced substantial delays due to supply chain issues.

A portion of the costs are being funded by a USDA grant. One of their requirements is to provide evidence that the City’s local share of the funding is

CITY COUNCIL

CONSIDERATION OF CERTIFICATION OF LOCAL FUNDING FOR

PURCHASE OF A FIRE RESCUE UTILITY TRUCK
NOVEMBER 14, 2023
PAGE 2 OF 3
available. The City Council adopted a resolution certifying the availability of local funding at the May 9, 2023 meeting. However, the supply chain issues resulted in an additional minor cost increase. As a result, staff is recommending Council adopt an updated resolution.

DISCUSSION:

After over two years of delays, the City was notified that the vehicle is ready for delivery. Production required a substitute chassis to be identified and ordered, which increased the cost. The original approval of the purchase included a combination of funds from the USDA grant, Fire Facilities Development Impact Fee revenue, and General Fund revenue. However, staff has now confirmed the local portion of the cost can be funded entirely by the Fire Facilities Development Impact Fee Fund, which will eliminate any impact on the General Fund.

Staff determined that the most effective way to provide proof of the local funding would be through a City Council certification approved by adoption of a resolution. An updated resolution has been prepared and is presented for City Council consideration. It sets forth the balance of the funds available and commits the amount needed for the purchase. While the cost increase is a minor amount, staff recommends updating the resolution in order to ensure there are no issues with requesting and receiving the USDA grant payment.

COST ANALYSIS:

The projected balance in the Fire Facilities Development Impact Fee Fund in FY 2023-24 is approximately $180,000, which is sufficient to address the entire local share of the cost. The total cost of the fire rescue utility truck is $254,480.53.

This represents an increase over the last estimate of only about $3,000. Of this amount, $82,100 will be paid from the USDA grant and $172,380.53 will be paid from the Fire Facilities Development Impact Fee Fund. Staff recommend programming $175,000 in the FY 2023-24 budget for the purchase in case there are any unanticipated costs associated with placing the vehicle into service.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The purchase of an emergency vehicle is not a “project” for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as they do not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change to the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. No further action is required under CEQA for City Council action.

RESOLUTION NO. 2023-4970

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KING CERTIFYING FUNDING

AVAILABLE FOR THE PURCHASE OF A FIRE RESCUE UTILITY TRUCK WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of King approved and authorized the City Manager to execute a purchase agreement for a new fire rescue utility truck on August 10, 2021; and
WHEREAS, the vehicle is a critical emergency access apparatus and enables the City’s Fire Department to reach emergency incidents with lifesaving equipment in locations that are difficult to position large fire engines; and
WHEREAS, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has approved a Community Facilities Grant for a portion of the funding needed to make the acquisition of this vital equipment economically feasible; and
WHEREAS, USDA requires the City to provide evidence of the local funding share necessary to pay the remaining costs associated with the purchase; and WHEREAS, the price of the vehicle has increased due to a change in the chassis required because of supply chain issues; and
WHEREAS, the final cost of the vehicle purchase is $254,480.53, which will be paid with $82,100 from the USDA Community Facilities Grant and $172,380.53 from the King City Fire Facilities Development Impact Fee Fund; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has appropriated additional funding in order to address the difference in cost and delays.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of King certifies that a total amount of $175,000 has been budgeted and appropriated from the King City Fire Facilities Development Impact Fee Fund for the purchase of the new fire rescue utility truck; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of King certifies that the FY 2023-24 projected balance of the King City Fire Facilities Development Impact Fee Fund is $180,000, which is sufficient to address the funding needed at the time the purchase will occur; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of King certifies that if due to any unforeseen circumstance, the King City Fire Facilities Development Impact Fee Fund does not have a sufficient balance in FY 2023-24, the City has sufficient General Fund reserves, and the City Council will allocate additional funding from the General Fund to pay for any portion or all of the balance.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER
RE: CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT TO MASTER FEE

SCHEDULE MODIFYING AIRPORT T-HANGAR RENTAL FEES
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the City Council adopt a Resolution amending the Master Fee Schedule to increase the rental rates for T-hangars at the Mesa Del Rey Airport by 25% effective January 1, 2024 and an additional 25% effective January 1, 2025.

BACKGROUND:

The Mesa Del Rey Airport currently has 23 T-hangars that are rented for storage of aircrafts. The existing rental fees are $157 per month. The City Council adopted a Resolution in November 2021 approving annual rate increases of 10% for a 5-year period. Prior to that time, rates had not been increased since 2017.

Lease agreements for each T-hangar were also updated at that time. Each agreement includes the following provision:

The CITY reserves the right to revise rental amounts in subsequent periods by amending the Master Fee Schedule, subject to approval by the City Council of the City of King. CITY shall notify TENANT in writing of any changes to the monthly renal amount at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date.

An additional rental fee increase is proposed at this time. Rent is invoiced semiannually due on January 1st and July 1st. Therefore, approval at this time will provide staff the time necessary to send a notification to each lessee for the increase to be effective on January 1, 2024.

CITY COUNCIL

CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT TO MASTER FEE SCHEDULE

MODIFYING AIRPORT T-HANGAR RENTAL FEES
NOVEMBER 14, 2023
PAGE 2 OF 3
DISCUSSION:

Despite the annual increases recently approved, the City’s General Fund continues to subsidize the Mesa Del Rey Airport operation. The City currently has a significant waiting list for T-hangars so demand exceeds supply. Despite annual inspections, the City also continues to experience problems with tenants leasing the hangars to use for storage of non-aviation related items given the low lease rates.

The City recently experienced a significant increase in property insurance costs which includes the T-hangar structures. In addition, staff recently prepared a citywide assessment of deferred maintenance items and determined the cost of needed maintenance on the existing T-hangars will cost over $200,000.

Therefore, additional revenue is necessary and an increase in fees is not projected to result in any vacancies.

Staff recently prepared an analysis that determined adding T-hangars would be cost prohibitive due to the cost of construction. Staff are proposing to gradually increase the current hangar rates and then develop a two-tiered rate for new hangars to make addition of more hangars economically viable. It will be helpful to increase rates on the existing hangars to reduce the severity of the rate differential when the two-tiered rate is established.

The increases will also help the City maintain compliance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations since they require the City to charge market rates for rental of any airport property. Staff has determined that the City’s rates are currently lower than most other comparable airport hangar rentals.

The proposed T-hangar rate schedule for the next 2-year period is as follows:

Existing $157 per month
2024 $196 per month
2023 $245 per month
COST ANALYSIS:

The proposed fee adjustment will result in an increase in revenue of approximately $24,000 over a 2-year period.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The Master Fee Schedule adjustments are not a “project” for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as they do not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change to the environment or a reasonably

WHEREAS, the City reviews and updates the Master Fee Schedule on a periodic basis to ensure that fees accurately reflect changes in costs to provide services; and WHEREAS, the City has determined an increase in the rental fees for Mesa Del Rey Airport T-hangars is necessary to generate additional revenues required to fund ongoing maintenance, repairs and insurance of the T-hangars; and WHEREAS, the City is required by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations to charge market rates for lease of any Airport property and it has been determined that the City’s rates are lower than other comparable airports.

DATE: NOVEMBER 14, 2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER
RE: CONSIDERATION OF HOMELESS TEMPORARY START-UP

RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the City Council adopt a Resolution approving rental assistance for up to three months for permanent housing for homeless families currently participating in the City’s Interim Temporary Homeless Shelter Program.

BACKGROUND:

The City has experienced an ongoing significant level of homelessness, which has become a major issue facing many jurisdictions. A substantial number of homeless individuals were previously residing in encampments in the Salinas Riverbed area.

As a result, the City undertook a number of proactive efforts to address this problem. The most significant action has been development and approval of the homekey permanent supportive housing project at the former Days Inn site.

However, due to delays in the project, the City Council approved an Interim Homeless Strategy at the June 13, 2023 meeting. It included leasing 18 rooms at the Monarch Inn and relocating homeless individuals from the riverbed encampments on a temporary basis until the homekey project is ready for them to be transferred there.

Participants of the Monarch Inn Interim Temporary Homeless Shelter Program include two families. There are also two families housed in trailers temporarily provided through a partnership between the City and a local church. They will not be eligible for the future permanent supportive housing project due to the size of their family since it would exceed occupancy limits set by Federal standards.

Therefore, the ultimate goal for them is instead to transition to some type of

CITY COUNCIL

CONSIDERATION OF HOMELESS TEMPORARY START-UP RENTAL

ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
NOVEMBER 14, 2023
PAGE 2 OF 3
permanent housing arrangement. To accomplish this, some type of initial rental assistance would be needed.

DISCUSSION:

The Interim Temporary Homeless Shelter Program funded by the City and other partner agencies concluded on October 31st. Shangri-La Industries, the homekey project developer, has agreed to assume the cost of continuing the program until the permanent supportive housing project is completed.

Meanwhile, the City has been working in partnership with other agencies to locate opportunities for permanent housing for the families residing at the Monarch Inn. Some of the agencies have agreed to offer temporary start-up rental assistance if the City will also commit a portion of the funding in order to help the families pay their deposit and rent for the first 6 to 12 months.

This could be a critical step in accomplishing the ultimate goal of helping the families to relocate to a long-term independent housing situation. It would require the City to potentially provide up to three months rental assistance. Staff are also working on identifying other supplemental housing assistance programs that could assist. The families have always been the City’s top priority of its homeless efforts due to the number of children involved.

The City is not able to simply single out families and individuals for financial assistance. Therefore, City Council approval of a formal program with criteria for selecting recipients is needed. In this case, the criteria would be focused on limiting the assistance to families already participating in the City’s Interim Temporary Homeless Shelter Program. This will restrict it to a limited number of recipients in a fair and equitable manner.

COST ANALYSIS:

It is projected that the City will have a balance of $15,000 to $20,000 from the amount appropriated for the Interim Temporary Homeless Shelter Program. The total cost of rental assistance is not anticipated to exceed this amount.

Therefore, no additional appropriation is requested.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

Temporary financial assistance is not a “project” for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as they do not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change to the environment or a reasonably

TEMPORARY START-UP RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
WHEREAS, homelessness is a significant and challenging issue in King City and throughout California; and
WHEREAS, homelessness deprives individuals, and particularly children, from reaching their potential and negatively impacts quality of life for the overall community; and WHEREAS, ending homelessness is a major Federal, State and City objective; and WHEREAS, the City has partnered with other agencies to establish an Interim Homeless Temporary Shelter Program and is working with a developer and other partnering agencies to develop a homekey permanent supportive housing project to address homelessness; and WHEREAS, homeless families are currently participating in the Interim Temporary Homeless Shelter Program and they include a large number of children; and WHEREAS, these families were victims of a fire and the City has assisted them in providing short-term temporary housing with the ultimate goal of providing a pathway for the families to find and maintain long-term independent housing arrangements; and WHEREAS, housing is a difficult challenge for all low-income families due to the shortage and high cost in King City and throughout California.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of King approves establishing a program of providing up to three (3) months of rental assistance to families with two (2) or more children who are currently participating in the City’s Interim Temporary Homeless Shelter Program and are able to independently secure a long-term rental lease.

FROM: DOREEN LIBERTO, AICP, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

DIRECTOR
RE: CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING

REGULATIONS ON SHORT-TERM RENTALS OF RESIDENTIAL

PROPERTIES
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council introduce an Ordinance amending Chapter

5.24 and adding Chapter 7.67 to the King City Municipal Code pertaining to shortterm rental of residential properties to be read by title only, open the public hearing, allow for public testimony, close the hearing, waive first reading of the Ordinance, and approve introduction of the Ordinance.

BACKGROUND:

Short-term vacation rentals made popular by websites like Airbnb, VRBO, and Tripping allow hosts to rent their residences to visitors for a period of less than 30 days. Cities are increasingly adopting short-term rental ordinances to protect the character of residential neighborhoods and preserve rental and affordable housing. The proposed ordinance requires the issuance of an administrative use permit, payment of the transient occupancy tax, business license and other information to determine whether the short-term use is consistent with the residential neighborhood for rentals of less than 30 days.

DISCUSSION:

A short-term rental means transient occupancy of and/or rental of an existing single-family residence for short-term lodging for less than thirty (30) consecutive days. The proposed ordinance allows short-term rentals in certain residential and commercial zones which allow residential uses. Section 5.24.160 (Hotels-MotelsApartment houses-Rooming houses-Short-term Rentals) is amended and Chapter

7.67 (Short-Term Rentals) is added to the Municipal Code as part of the proposed ordinance.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The proposed ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that it will have a significant effect on the environment. (CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3).) Further, this Ordinance is not a project, as defined in CEQA Guidelines section 15378, because it has no potential for resulting in a physical change to the environment, either directly or indirectly, and is therefore not subject to environmental review under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15060(c)(3).

ALTERNATIVES:

The following recommendations are provided for City Council consideration:

1. Adopt the Ordinance;

2. Direct staff to modify the Ordinance;

3. Do not adopt the Ordinance;

Item No. 11 (A)

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: NOVEMBER 14, 2023
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER
RE: CONSIDERATION OF UNFUNDED PRIORITY NEEDS PLAN
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the City Council: 1) approve the proposed Unfunded Priority Needs Plan; and 2) direct staff to proceed with the proposed community outreach program and develop funding recommendations.

BACKGROUND:

The City of King experienced a serious financial crisis over the past two decades and accumulated a $5 million negative balance in its General Fund by 2016.

Since then, the City has implemented a number of strategies to pay off its debt, which was accomplished in 2021. The City’s budget has remained balanced for several years and it has now accomplished the goal of establishing a financial reserve.

However, there are still major priorities that are unable to be addressed in the annual operating budget. Many of these items are the result of years of deferred maintenance and expenditures that occurred in the extended period of financial challenges. As a result, these items create effects similar to the former negative fund balance because they represent key costs that must be addressed in the future and impact the long-term financial stability of the City.

At the January 10, 2023 meeting, the City Council approved a proposed community engagement process for pursuing a supplemental revenue source to address unfunded needs. The first step in the process was to develop a specific plan for proposed future priority expenditures. Staff has titled it the Unfunded Priority Needs Plan which is being presented at this time for City Council consideration.

CITY COUNCIL

CONSIDERATION OF UNFUNDED PRIORITY NEEDS PLAN
NOVEMBER 14, 2023
PAGE 2 OF 4
DISCUSSION:

The objective of the Plan is to increase transparency by presenting in detail the costs and funding necessary to address what staff have identified as the most important unmet needs in the future. It is proposed to be a 12-year plan, which is based on the projected timeframe to achieve all the goals identified.

The following five key categories of needs have been identified as the top priorities:
• Street Improvements:

It is proposed to perform a grind and overlay of every street with a PCI below 50 and a slurry seal project on all streets with a PCI of above 50 within a 12-year period. The Plan sets forth a detailed schedule of improvements for each street in the City.
• Police Staffing:

In order to continue the progress that has been made in addressing gang and youth violence problems, it is proposed to fund one additional School Resource Officer position and one additional officer position. • Deferred Maintenance of City Facilities:

An assessment of City facilities was prepared by staff, and a 12-year schedule is outlined for addressing the major deficiencies identified. The most significant cost item is renovation and remodel of the Recreation Center.
• Public Works Staffing:

An additional maintenance worker position is needed to maintain new parks that will soon be constructed at Mills Ranch and to better address overall maintenance needs.
• Long-Term Financial Stability:

The City’s long-range financial planning effort recently identified a need for additional funding to address long-term projected gaps between ongoing revenues and expenditures, to continue building adequate reserves, and to address unanticipated expenses.

An important factor of the City’s Unfunded Priority Needs Plan is that it is heavily waited on capital improvements. Therefore, as the City addresses its infrastructure needs, the associated costs will gradually decrease and free up financial resources for other future financial challenges. As a result, it will help to maintain long-term financial stability well beyond the projected time frame of the Plan.

CONSIDERATION OF UNFUNDED PRIORITY NEEDS PLAN
NOVEMBER 14, 2023
PAGE 3 OF 4
An extensive community outreach process is planned over the next several months. A stakeholder group will be formed to assist in the efforts. A full copy of the Plan will be printed in both English and Spanish and distributed to each household, a summary will later be printed and distributed again to each household, and a youtube video will be created and shared. A public hearing will then be scheduled at the May 14, 2024 regular City Council meeting to consider revenue strategy options and any recommended changes to the Unfunded Priority Needs Plan resulting from public input. City Council direction will be requested at that time on how to proceed.

COST ANALYSIS:

A summary of the overall costs and associated revenue needs is presented on the last page of the Plan. It identifies that approximately $16.7 million in additional expenditures are needed over the 12-year period. It is proposed to identify a strategy to create an additional revenue source generating an initial annual amount of $1,250,000 escalated over time, which would result in over $17 million by the end of the 12-year period.

Funding was included in the FY 2023-24/FY 2024-25 Biennial Budget for the community outreach process. The total projected cost of those efforts is estimated to be approximately $25,000. It originally included a professional survey, but it is now recommended to forego the survey in order to maximize the community outreach and education process.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The Plan is not a “project” for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as it does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change to the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Environmental review will be conducted on each project at the time it is proposed. No further action is required under CEQA for City Council action.

ALTERNATIVES:

The following alternatives are presented for Council consideration:

1. Approve staff’s recommendations;

2. Request changes and approve the Plan;

3. Modify the process for approval and/or community outreach;

4. Do not approve the Plan; or

5. Provide other direction to staff.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: NOVEMBER 14, 2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: DOREEN LIBERTO, AICP, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

DIRECTOR
BY: SCOTT BRUCE, PRINCIPAL PLANNER
RE: CONSIDERATION OF HOUSING ELEMENT AMENDMENT TO THE

GENERAL PLAN WORKSHOP
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council: 1) receive presentation on an overview of the draft Housing Element Update recommendations; 2) receive public input; and 3) provide comments and direction.

BACKGROUND:

As previously discussed, the current State certified Housing Element (HE) is valid until the end of 2023 (Cycle 5). The current HE was approved as an interim document in December 2015, revised in March 2016 and adopted as amended in November of 2016. As a Charter City, an approved HE is valid for a period of eight years. Once approved, the period of this Amended HE will be through December 2031 (end of Cycle 6).

Staff have been working on the HE and the LUE since early 2020. In January 2020, work began with the preparation of a Community Survey which included questions regarding housing and land use issues. In March of 2020, the survey was mailed to 4,881 homes in King City. The response rate was slightly over 9%, a positive number for this type of survey. In August of 2020, the results of the survey were presented to the Planning Commission and to the City Council. In Winter and Spring of 2022 and 2023 Cal Poly Planning Laboratories prepared and executed additional surveys.

Staff provided updates to the Planning Commission, City Council and public in April 2021, May 2022 and January 2023 (workshops). As staff nears the completion of the Public Review Draft, staff are providing the City Council with an overview of information gathered, tools and policies used to address the identified issues, an anticipated timeline to completion, and an additional opportunity for public input. At this meeting, staff will provide an update and request input regarding the Public Review Draft of the Housing Element. The Public Review Draft was placed on the City’s website on November 1
st
, beginning the 30-day comment period. A copy of
the document is also available at the front counter at City Hall.

DISCUSSION:

What is a Housing Element?
Since 1969, housing elements have been a mandatory chapter of local General Plans in California. An HE provides an analysis of a community’s housing needs for all income levels and strategies to provide for those housing needs. It includes goals, policies, programs and objectives to guide future housing growth to meet the needs of residents of all income levels in King City. It also Identifies projected housing needs by income category and requires certification by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for compliance with State housing laws. An HCD certified HE enables the City to be eligible for various State grants and funding sources. The State requires that the HE be updated and certified regularly to reflect the most recent trends in demographics and employment that may affect existing and future housing demand and supply. The HE is the only General Plan Element required to be approved by the State. The HE is updated every eight years and the upcoming 2023-2031 HE is the 6th Cycle Update. The current State certified HE is the 5th Cycle Update from 2014-2023.

Public Survey
The survey covered a range of issues including housing, availability of retail stores, height of buildings in Opportunity Zones, mixed-use in the Broadway Corridor / Downtown and future technologies. The responses from this survey have been incorporated into the preparation of the Housing Element and are being incorporated into the LUE Amendment which is currently in process. In December 2022, the Cal Poly Student Planning Laboratory attended the Christmas Parade and other community activities to conduct another survey and participated in other planning activities. These formal and informal surveys and planning activities informed their study of the City during Fall and Winter quarters. That information became available in Spring of 2023 and has helped inform the preparation of the Housing Element.

Cycle 6 RHNA Requirements
Every eight years, the Association of Bay Area Governments (AMBAG), under the direction of the state of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), issues a Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for Monterey County. In 2015, the total allocation required of King City was 180 units.

The 2023 allocation is 702 units. The current number of total housing units in King City is 3,505. This means the 6th Cycle HE will have to include goals and policies that illustrate how the City will encourage 702 units to be built over the eight-year period. In turn, The LUE should reflect affordable housing to the extent possible.

For Cycle 6, King City will be able to achieve the RHNA target through units available in previous specific plans and vacant land zoned for high density residential development. No additional zoning or land use changes are required.

In this Housing Element Update, Opportunity Zones are being introduced as a technique to achieve some of the community goals and provide for additional housing in Cycle 7 and beyond. As previously discussed, the Opportunity Zones are intended to encourage affordable residential development and commercial development appropriate to the area. For example, “Gateways” to the City should include attractive retail, tourist oriented and residential development; and the area around the emerging MMTC should feature residential and retail uses that support the Center and the historic Downtown District. The land uses from the MMTC area will blend into and complement the historic Downtown District. The interchange at First Street and US 101 is another Gateway to the City. This area is an opportunity for more intense commercial development and higher density residential development.

Housing Element and Land Use Element Coordination
Responses to the previous surveys indicate that residents’ priorities include variety and affordability of housing, additional shopping opportunities and an active and vital downtown. The HE identifies current demographic trends, ownership patterns, housing affordability and types of housing that are included in the RHNA requirement. The Land Use Element identifies locations where new efforts to address these comments can be initiated. Accompanying that effort will be revision to the Zoning Code (a part of transitioning to “Development Regulations”) which provides height, coverage, setback, parking and similar standards – focused on the new Opportunity Zones, as previously discussed.

*HCD review is allocated a maximum of 90 days. After that review, revisions will be made, and a second submittal is anticipated.

Planning Commission Comments
There were several comments from the Planning Commissioners at the meeting of November 7th. They included the following:
• Discussion occurred regarding the availability of treatment plant capacity to accommodate the new housing requirements. Staff explained that the large majority of units being identified to meet the requirement are in projects that are already entitled. The remainder are in previously zoned land (primarily Ausonio property) where infrastructure is adjacent and environmental review will be required prior to approvals. The main concern was treatment plant capacity.
• Discussion regarding the method of meeting Cycle 6 requirements. No land use or zoning changes are required. The requirements can be met through previously approved and currently zoned properties.
• Discussion occurred regarding notice. Staff explained that notice had been provided timely in the Rustler. The Commission suggested that additional notice on the City’s Facebook page may be helpful. Staff will post that information on the City’s page.
• Discussion occurred regarding translation of the document into Spanish, or to provide a summary in Spanish. Staff responded that translation has not occurred yet given the size of the document, but staff will explore ways to address the need for translation.
• Discussion occurred regarding future commercial opportunities in the Bitterwater Road and Metz Road area, responding to additional residential units in that area.

There were no members of the public in attendance, either electronically or in person.
