PERTAINING TO CITY OF KINGSBURG HOUSING ELEMENT AND
ACCOMPANYING CEQA DETERMINATION - Staff Report Prepared by Community Development Director Holly Owen
Mayor Pursell, Jr. opened the Public Hearing at 6:06pm.

Community Development Director Holly Owen presented components of Kingsburg General Plan.

This is required by state law. This is a joint effort with 13 other cities. There is a regional section and a section that is specific to us. The state must review it, we have had 2 formal reviews. We are in compliance. If we make changes, we will have to start over. The Planning Commission has recommended this action to you. Council discussed stakeholder interviews. Ms. Owen reports every year to the state, some of these items are included in this report. Council discussed the affordable housing and RHNA numbers.

Council Discussion: 6:14pm.

Council Member Smith asked if the state has an opinion on how a project looks and the impact it may have on Kingsburg. Director Owen said they will look for low-income housing, ADUs and single-family projects. Council Member Silva asked if they approve this document tonight, is this the final steps or are there more steps. Director Owen answered that this would be the final offer and it would be a surprise if there was something new. Mayor Pursell Jr. asked if anything in here could hinder the Kingsburg experience. Director Owen said our consistent message will continue to be expressed to developers and that our city has a certain brand and expectations.

Director Owen handed the presentation to Amy Sinsheimer to further discuss the project.

Amy Sinsheimer, Placeworks, is planning for a fair share of housing that all cities are responsible for. She discussed zoning, the upcoming senior housing, and fair housing from the state. Council discussed the different programs.

Mayor Pursell Jr. asked about the RHNA, he wanted clarification on what vacant meant. Ms.

Sinsheimer clarified that they are not parking lots or agriculture but are strictly dirt lots without any structures on them. Mayor Pursell Jr. asked to see a certain map to clarify that the map that showed vacant lots, are not actually vacant but have houses on them. Staff confirmed the map was incorrect, the lots marked are not vacant.

Council Member Palomar asked if they require a number for the homeless. She explained what the number is and how they need to allocate land for homelessness.

Council Member Smith asked if we are required to re-zoning. Ms. Sinsheimer answered it is in the plan, and to have a document pass and be compliant than it would be.

City Manager Henderson answered we are working on having this accepted by the state. The challenge is most of what is required, is not in line with the keeping the Kingsburg experience. The market dictates what is built, but if it is re-zoned and a project comes forward, that is something we would have to work through. If you don’t adopt the housing element, the state can take us to court.

Essentially, we will need to pass something, despite it not aligning with the Kingsburg experience Kingsburg City Council, City of Kingsburg Public Financing Authority and Board of Directors of the Successor Agency of the Kingsburg Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting Minutes June 19, 2024
to avoid extra legal costs from the state.

The accuracy of the maps was discussed, Ms. Sinsheimer considered the changes substantive if the map is not accurate. Mayor Pursell Jr. asked if we submitted these maps with lots that are not vacant, what does it mean for the state? Director Owen answered she would take directions from the city attorney on the matter.

Mayor Pursell, Jr. opened the Public Comment at 6:21pm.

No Comments.

Mayor Pursell, Jr. closed the Public Comment at 6:21pm.

Continued Council Discussion: 6:49pm
Council discussed the implications of passing an inaccurate document. The general feelings are to erring on the side of caution and to reevaluate the documents and maps. Council Member Smith has concerns regarding re-zoning to higher densities. City Manager Henderson stated we would need to table the discussion to July 17, 2024, City Council Meeting. City Attorney Mike Noland agreed with the tabling due to inaccuracies.

Mayor Pursell, Jr. closed the Public Hearing at 6:55pm.

A motion was made by Council Member North, seconded by Council Member Smith, to continue the Public Hearing to the July 17, 2024, City Council Meeting. The motion carried by a unanimous voice vote.

Community Facilities District 2017-01 FY 2024-2025 Levy - Staff Report prepared by City Manager Alexander Henderson
(Action only by the City Council)
Sponsor: City Manager’s Office
City Manager Alexander Henderson presented about the Community Facilities District (“CFD”).

The CFD was formed on June 7, 2017 by City Council authorizing the levy of a special tax on property within the CFD, and establishing an appropriations limit for the CFD.

The public services that will be financed by the CFD levy include, without limitation, police services, fire and ambulance and emergency response services, parks and open space maintenance, Kingsburg City Council, City of Kingsburg Public Financing Authority and Board of Directors of the Successor Agency of the Kingsburg Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting Minutes June 19, 2024
lighting and landscape maintenance, alley maintenance and repair, administrative fees of the City and reimbursement of costs related to the formation of CFD 2017-01 advanced by the City.

Jian Wu, Senior Manager at DTA, reviewed his presentation that shows the proposed CFD fees.

Council Member Silva asked the difference between the single family and multifamily CFD fees.

Mr. Wu explained it is a part of California law that the CFD fee is determined by size. It is not fair if an apartment is charged the same fee as a single family home.

A motion was made by Council Member Silva, seconded by Council Member Palomar, to adopt Resolution No. 2024-035– Resolution of the City Council of the City of Kingsburg, acting in its Capacity as the Legislative Body of Community Facilities District No. 2017-1 (Public Services District) Authorizing the Levy of a Special Tax for Fiscal Year 2024-2025.

Award the Laurel Street Dog Park Improvements Project Base Bid and Additive Alternate 1 to Don Berry Construction, in the amount of $989,270.00 and authorizes the City Manager to include additional additive alternates to the contract as funding is secured for the various items of work.- Staff Report prepared by City Engineer David Peters
Sponsor: City Engineer’s Department
City Engineer Dave Peters reviewed that the City received a Prop 68 grant in the amount of 1.2 million for the Laurel Street Dog Park. The City received bids for the project, but there is not enough grant funds to cover the project. The grant award says you have to have everything in the grant application. Staff is working on lowering the costs. Mr. Peters recommend the base BID and alternate 1 for the bathrooms, which we have already purchased, to be awarded.

Council Member North asked what the timeline is for the project. Engineer Peters estimated that if it is approved tonight, we could start the process tomorrow and begin construction in July and be done by October when the rain hits and water goes in the basin.

Council Member Silva asked what we are cutting costs on, will it be something that will cause more maintenance? Engineer Peters stated it will not add more maintenance; it will just not be the Cadillac version of different items, like the shade structure. It would be more in line as to what you see everywhere.

REPORT FROM: David Peters, City Engineer REVIEWED BY: AJH AGENDA ITEM: Amendment No. 1 CDBG Agreement No. 23-544
ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ____Resolution √ Motion ______Receive/File

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On October 10, 2023, the City of Kingsburg entered into an agreement with the County of Fresno to secure $274,893 of CDBG funding for the construction of Mariposa Street between 6th Avenue Drive and 10th Avenue.

The Project includes the rehabilitation of the existing street with an asphalt concrete overlay, construction of new curb ramps, reconstruction of existing curb ramps that do not meet current Americans with Disability Act (ADA) requirements, and replacement of uplifted or broken sidewalks, curbs and gutters. The Project will also include replacement of striping and signage, markings, landscaping, curb, gutter, sidewalk, and utility infrastructure as necessary to accommodate the proposed improvements. The balance of the project costs were to be provided by the City through local funding. Due to an increase in estimated construction costs determined during the bidding phase, the City is requesting an additional $115,016 of CDBG funding be added to the project to increase the funding level to the current estimate and eliminate the local funding contribution.

The County of Fresno staff intends to grant this request. As such, an amendment has been developed to document the increase in CDBG funding levels for this project.

RECOMMENDED ACTION BY CITY COUNCIL

1. Staff recommends the authorization for the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Original Project Agreement for Kingsburg Mariposa Street Reconstruction; Project No. 22391 and transmit the document to the County of Fresno for consideration by the Board of Supervisors.

POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S)

1. Reject the amendment and maintain current funding levels for the project.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION/KEY METRIC

1. Preserve the Kingsburg Experience.

REPORT FROM: Holly Owen, Community Development Director AGENDA ITEM: Consideration of General Plan Amendment 2024-01 pertaining to City of Kingsburg Housing Element and accompanying CEQA Determination
ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ____Resolution ____Motion ____Receive/File

RECOMMENDATION

1. Adopt Resolution 2024-032 approving the CEQA determination, an Addendum to the City of Kingsburg General Plan EIR for the 2023-2031 Housing Element Update; and approving of the General Plan Amendment 2024-01, amending the City’s General Plan by inclusion of the 2023-2031 Housing Element, as required by State law.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Housing Element is a State-mandated eight-year policy document that is a component of the Kingsburg General Plan, and a required element of every General Plan. The overall purpose of the Housing Element Update is to identify current and projected housing needs, show locations where housing can be built, and set goals, policies, and programs to meet the community’s housing needs.

As required by State law, the City of Kingsburg has initiated General Plan Amendment 2024-01, which is related to the adoption and incorporation of the 2023-2031 City of Kingsburg Housing Element (6th Cycle), into the City’s 1993 General Plan. The City prepared its Housing Element as part of a Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element regional effort in collaboration with the Fresno County Council of Governments, Fresno County, and 13 other cities in Fresno County. The Fresno Council of Governments contracted with Placeworks and their team members Ascent, Provost & Pritchard, and the California Coalition of Rural Housing to assist Fresno County and the cities with the MultiJurisdiction Housing Element Update.

The Kingsburg Housing Element is a single document, made up of two sections: 1) the main body, which describes demographics, housing needs, resources, and constraints at a regional level and includes goals and policies common to all participating jurisdictions (found at https://www.cityofkingsburg-ca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/2735); and 2) individual appendices, which contain details for each jurisdiction (i.e., sites inventory, governmental constraints, evaluation of existing Housing Element) and individual implementation programs for the City of Kingsburg (Attachment 5).

Prior to adopting this Housing Element, State law requires the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to administer the law by reviewing housing elements for compliance with State law and by reporting its written findings to the local jurisdiction. After two formal reviews of the document, HCD sent a letter dated April 11, 2024 stating that the City of Kingsburg’s Housing Element will substantially comply with State Housing Element Law (Gov. Code, § 65580 et seq) when it is adopted, submitted to, and approved by HCD (Attachment 2).

If any changes to the Draft Housing Element are proposed after April 11, 2024, those revisions would have to be resubmitted and reviewed by HCD.

On May 9th, staff presented the 2023-2031 Kingsburg Housing Element to the Planning Commission for their consideration, to receive public comment, and to receive the Planning Commission’s recommendation to the Kingsburg City Council regarding amending the City’s General Plan (General Plan Amendment 2024-01) to include the 2023-2031 City of Kingsburg Housing Element (6th Cycle), which also includes the 2023-2031 Fresno County Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element. The Planning Commission, on a 5-0 vote, recommended to Council the Housing Element for review and adoption.

On June 19th, 2024, Council opened a public hearing on this item. It was determined that additional work was needed on the vacant sites inventory for the Kingsburg chapter of the Housing Element, and the item was continued to this meeting date. Since June 19th, sites were reevaluated, the consultant for the project analyzed the Regional Housing Needs Allocation allotment in light of the reevaluation, and the document as Attachment 5 is presented tonight for review and adoption should Council take that action. In addition, the following additions and clarifications were made to the Kingsburg Housing Element document:
• Revisions to Program 16 to increase upzoning density to 30 du/ac on four parcels and increase the quantified objectives for lower income units due to the density increase • Revisions to quantified objectives table to reflect increase in units for Program 16 • Table 1H-4 Vacant Land Inventory – removed non-vacant sites, increased density to 30 du/ac on 4 sites • Figures 1H-1 through 1H-5 – same as the note on Table 1H-4 and in addition the new APN/parcel was added to site P-4 on the maps
• Information added to Kings Estate V annexation description to describe additional parcel and increased units
• Table 1H-6 updated to reflect changes to sites inventory and annexations If no further changes are proposed to the document, following adoption of the Housing Element, the City will submit the Housing Element to HCD for formal certification. HCD has 90 days to certify the Housing Element.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND
California Housing Element law requires every jurisdiction to prepare and adopt a housing element as part of its general plan. State Housing Element requirements are framed in the California Government Code, Sections 65580 through 65589, Chapter 1143, Article 10.6. The law requires the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to administer the law by reviewing housing elements for compliance with State law and by reporting its written findings to the local jurisdiction. Although State law allows local governments to decide when to update their general plans, State Housing Element law mandates that housing elements be updated every eight years. The Housing Element must include: 1) an identification and analysis of existing and projected local housing needs; 2) an identification of resources and constraints; and 3) goals, policies, and implementation programs for the rehabilitation, maintenance, improvement, and development of housing for all economic segments of the population.

The foundation of the Housing Element is the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), which begins with a determination of housing need issued by the California Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) and allocated by the Fresno Council of Governments (FCOG). A jurisdiction is required to demonstrate whether it has sufficient capacity to achieve its RHNA. However, identification of a site’s capacity does not guarantee that construction will occur on that site, as the actual construction of units would occur as a result of a development application from a developer.

The RHNA for Kingsburg for this Housing Element Update is 882 units, including 248 very low-income units, 161 low-income units, 150 moderate-income units, and 323 above moderate-income units1.

As shown in the accompanying addendum to the General Plan, accounting for approved and pending projects (including ADUs), vacant site capacity, and the projected ADUs the City’s surplus unit capacity is 8 very lowincome/low-income units, 4 moderate-income units, and 73 above moderate-income units. The City of Kingsburg’s Housing Element sites inventory identifies 573 suitable vacant sites, 220 pipeline projects, 149 pending annexation, and 21 projected accessory dwelling units to meet the City’s RHNA2. 1 Kingsburg Revised Housing Element, p. 1H-57, Table 1H-6 (Attachment 5) 2 Table 1H-6, p. 1H-57 (Attachment 5)

PUBLIC NOTICING
Pursuant to the Government Code Section 65091 (Planning and Zoning Law) and Kingsburg Municipal Code, §10- 22, it is required that a notice be published in a newspaper and be sent to interested parties. The public hearing notice was published in The Fresno Bee on June 9, 2024 and was e-mailed to interested parties on May 21, 2024. No public hearing notice is required for a continued item.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The General Plan Amendment 2024-01 and adoption of the Kingsburg Housing Element would not cause any new significant environmental impacts or substantially increase the severity of significant environmental impacts disclosed in the General Plan EIR. Thus, the proposed project does not trigger any of the conditions in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 requiring preparation of a subsequent EIR, and the appropriate environmental document as authorized by CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(b) is an addendum to the Kingsburg General Plan EIR and the addendum was prepared as Attachment 3 to this staff report.

PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
• On April 20, 2022, the City Council of the City of Kingsburg adopted Resolution No. 2022-022 approving and authorizing the City’s participation in the Fresno County Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element Update and Cost Sharing Agreement between the Fresno Council of Governments (Fresno COG), the City of Kingsburg, and other participating jurisdictions in Fresno County for a Sixth Cycle Housing Element Update. • The Planning Commission and City Council jointly met on August 11, 2022 for a workshop on the Kingsburg Housing Element and again on May 11, 2023 for an update on the process. • Planning Commission held a public hearing on May 9th, 2024 on this item and recommended through resolution the adoption of the Housing Element as proposed to Council.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
According to the Cost Sharing Agreement between Fresno COG, the City of Kingsburg, and other participating jurisdictions, estimates for each smaller jurisdiction for the 6th Cycle is expected not to exceed $122,421.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KINGSBURG APPROVING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 2024-01 AND THE CEQA DETERMINATION RELATED TO THE CITY OF KINGSBURG 2023- 2031 HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE (6th CYCLE)
WHEREAS, the City of Kingsburg initiated General Plan Amendment 2024-01 and associated CEQA determination, proposing to amend the City’s General Plan by inclusion of the 2023-2031 Housing Element (6th Cycle), as required by State law; and
WHEREAS, City prepared its Housing Element as part of a Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element regional effort in collaboration with the Fresno County Council of Governments, Fresno County, and 13 other cities in Fresno County; and
WHEREAS, the Kingsburg Housing Element was prepared in conformity with the provisions of State law requirements of California Government Code Section 65580 et seq; and WHEREAS, on April 11, 2024, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) issued a letter of conditional approval stating that the Draft Housing Element and associated revisions meet the statutory requirements of State housing Element law and will comply with State law when they are adopted and submitted to HCD pursuant to Government Code Section 65585; and WHEREAS, adoption of General Plan Amendment 2024-01 and the 2023-2031 Housing Element (6th Cycle) will not cause any new significant environmental impacts or substantially increase the severity of significant environmental impacts disclosed in the General Plan EIR. Thus, the proposed adoption of General Plan Amendment 2024-01 and the 2023-2031 Housing Element (6th Cycle) does not trigger any of the conditions in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 requiring preparation of a subsequent EIR, and the appropriate environmental document as authorized by CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(b) is an addendum. Therefore based upon CEQA review, the required CEQA document for the adoption of General Plan Amendment 2024-01 and the 2023-2031 Housing Element(6th Cycle) was determined to be an addendum to the Kingsburg General Plan EIR under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15164; and

Dear Holly Owen:

RE: City of Kingsburg's 6th Cycle (2023-2031)Revised Draft Housing Element Thank you for submitting the City of Kingsburg's (City) revised draft housing element update received for review on February 14,2024, along with revisions received on April 10,2024 andfurthereditsonApril 11,2024. Revisionsweremadeavailableto the public for seven days prior to review. Pursuant to Government Code section 65585, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is reporting the results of its review. Our review was facilitated by a conversation on February 27,2024, with the City's housing element team.

The revised draft element, incorporating the revisions and edits, meets the statutory requirements of State Housing Element Law. The housing element will substantially comply with State Housing Element Law (Gov. Code, S 65580 et seq) when it is adopted, submitted to, and approved by HCD, in accordance with Government Code section 65585.

For your information, pursuant to Assembly Bill 1398 (Chapter 358, Statutes of 2021), if the City does not adopt a compliant housing element within 120 days of the statutory deadline (December 31,2023), Program 16 (Zoning Code Amendments) to rezone to accommodate the regional housing needs allocation must be completed no later than one year from the statutory deadline. Othennrise, the local government's housing element will no longer comply with State Housing Element Law, and HCD may revoke its finding of substantial compliance pursuant to Government Code section 65585, subdivision (i). Please be aware, if the City does not adopt a compliant housing element within one year from the statutory deadline, the element cannot be found in substantial compliance untilthese rezones are completed.

Public participation in the development, adoption, and implementation of the housing element is essential to effective housing planning. Throughout the housing element process, the City must continue to engage the community, including organizations that Holly Owen, Director

Page 2 ends

represent lower-income and special needs households, by making information regularly available while considering and incorporating comments where appropriate. Please be aware, any revisions to the element must be posted on the local government's website and to email a link to all individuals and organizations that have previously requested notices relating to the local government's housing element at least seven days before submitting to HCD.

For your information, pursuant to Government Code section 65583.3, the City must submit an electronic sites inventory with its adopted housing element. The City must utilize standards, forms, and definitions adopted by HCD. Please see HCD's housing eleme nt webpage at https ://www. hcd. ca.q ov/plan n inq-and-commu n itvdevelopmenUhousinq-eiements for a copy of the form and instructions. The City can reach out to HCD at [email protected] for technical assistance.

Several federal, state, and regional funding programs consider housing element compliance as an eligibility or ranking criteria. For example, the CalTrans Senate Bill (SB) 1 Sustainable Communities grant, the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities programs, and HCD's Permanent Local Housing Allocation consider housing element compliance and/or annual reporting requirements pursuant to Government Code section 65400. With a compliant housing element, the City will meet housing element requirements for these and other funding sources.

For your information, some general plan element updates are triggered by housing element adoption. HCD reminds the City to consider timing provisions and welcomes the opportunity to provide assistance. For information, please see the Technical Advisories issued by the Governor's Office of Planning and Research at:
https ://www. o p r. ca. q ov/p la n n i n q/q e ne ra l-p la n/q u id e I i nes. htm L HCD appreciates the hard work and dedication the City's housing element team provided in preparation of the City's housing element and looks forward to receiving the City's adopted housing element. lf you have any questions or need additional technical assistance, please contact Jose Ayala, of our staff, at [email protected].

1.Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR

1.1 Background
The City of Kingsburg is participating with other cities in Fresno County to update its Housing Element as part of the Fresno County Multi-Jurisdictional 2023-2031 Housing Element. The Housing Element is a Statemandated policy document that is a component of the City of Kingsburg General Plan. The proposed 6th cycle 2023–2031 Housing Element will replace the existing 2015–2023 Housing Element and serve as Kingsburg’s (City’s) guiding policy document that meets future needs of housing for all the City’s economic levels. The Housing Element is one of eight elements of the City’s General Plan.

The General Plan is the foundation development policy document of the City of Kingsburg. It defines the framework by which the physical, economic, and human resources of the City are to be managed and used over time. The General Plan acts to clarify and articulate the intentions of the City with respect to the rights and expectations of the public, property owners, and prospective investors and business interests. The General Plan informs these citizens of the goals, objectives, policies, and standards for development of the City and the responsibilities of all sectors in meeting these. As a policy document, the Housing Element does not result in physical changes to the environment but encourages the development of housing at all income levels consistent with the residential designations shown in the Land Use Element of the General Plan. The City has a number of engineering standards and a Municipal Code that address the physical act of construction.

This document serves as the environmental documentation for the adoption of the City’s proposed 2023–2031 Housing Element update. This addendum to the City of Kingsburg’s North Specific Plan General Plan EIR (State Clearinghouse No. 2002091042) (General Plan EIR) demonstrates that the analysis in the General Plan EIR adequately addresses the potential physical impacts associated with housing built consistent with the Land Use Element of the General Plan. The General Plan EIR is updated to the City’s proposed 2023–2031 Housing Element update.

1.1.1 Meeting Kingsburg’s RHNA
California Government Code Section 65584 requires that each city and county plan to accommodate a fair share of the region’s housing construction needs. The Fresno Council of Governments (FCOG) prepares the RHNA for the region based on existing and projected regional trends in population growth, household sizes, job accessibility, and transportation access. While the City must plan for and help facilitate the development of 882 new homes in the community, it is not obligated to build these units. Because projects often vary in size and density, and to comply with the state No-Net-Loss housing law, the City identifies a “surplus of housing sites” available to meet the City’s RHNA allocation. As shown in Table 1-1, Progress Toward RHNA, the City’s surplus unit capacity is 4 very low-income/low-income units, 4 moderate-income units, and 73 above moderateincome units. As shown in Table 1, the City of Kingsburg’s Housing Element sites inventory identifies 573 suitable vacant sites, 220 pipeline projects, 149 pending annexation, and 21 projected accessory dwelling units to meet the City’s RHNA.

1.2 GENERAL PLAN EIR
The General Plan EIR addresses the General Plan Amendments, pre-zoning, sphere of influence boundary changes, Specific Plan for North Kingsburg, and future proposals for annexation under the Specific Plan combined as a "Program EIR" representing the second level of a tiering process that began with the certification of the EIR prepared for the update of the General Plan in 1992, and as amended in 1996 to allow for westerly urban expansion (Kingsburg 2004).

The General Plan EIR determined that implementation of the General Plan would result in significant and unavoidable impacts related to the following environmental topics:

Agricultural Resources
 Incremental increases in the permanent loss of agricultural land to urbanization beyond that covered by the 1992 and 1996 General Plan EIRs.

Air Quality
 Incremental increases in the annual quantities of vehicle and stationary emissions of air pollutants that will be released to the atmosphere each year as vehicle traffic and urbanization increase beyond that covered by the 1992 and 1996 General Plan EIRs.

1.3 PROJECT SUMMARY

1.3.1 2023-2031 Housing Element Update
CEQA requires the City to evaluate the environmental impacts associated with physical environmental changes.

In this instance, most of the programs from the previous Housing Element are continued through to the proposed Housing Element. The proposed Housing Element includes 32 total programs, 19 of which are amended, and 13 are new. Table 2, Summary of Program Changes Between Existing Housing Element and Proposed Housing Element, displays the individual program changes between the existing Housing Element and the proposed Housing Element.

Program 1: Regional Collaboration on Housing Opportunities The Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element provides an opportunity for countywide housing issues and needs to be more effectively addressed at the regional level rather than just at the local level, and the 13 participating jurisdictions are committed to continuing the regional collaboration in the implementation of the Housing Element.

By working together, the jurisdictions can share best practices, explore opportunities for further collaboration, and make the best use of limited resources.

Timeframe and Objectives:
 The County of Fresno Public Works and Planning Department, with assistance of the Fresno COG, will take the lead in coordinating the Countywide Fifth Cycle Housing Element Committee meetings.  Continue to participate in the Countywide Housing Element Technical Committee to collaborate on housing program implementation and regional issues including, disadvantaged unincorporated communities (SB 244), infrastructure challenges, farmworker housing, homelessness, and fair housing.
 The Committee will meet at least biannually to evaluate successes in implementation of programs and to identify gaps and additional needs.  The Committee will meet annually with the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to discuss funding opportunities and challenges in implementation of programs and seek technical assistance from HCD and other State agencies in the implementation of housing programs and the pursuit of grant funding.
 The Committee will meet periodically with Fair Housing of Central California to discuss fair housing issues and opportunities for education.  The Committee will advocate on behalf of the Fresno County region for more grant funding for affordable housing and infrastructure improvements.  Continue to seek partnerships with other jurisdictions in the region and other agencies (such as the Housing Authority), housing developers, community stakeholders, and agricultural employers/employees to explore viable options for increasing the availability of farmworker housing in suitable locations in the region.
 Develop a directory of services and resources for lower-income households available in the region, and review and update it annually. Make the directory available on City/County websites and at City/County offices.

City staff meets on a quarterly basis with the Countywide Housing Element Technical Committee as an opportunity to collaborate and share successes to best implement the program elements. The City also meets with Fresno COG on a monthly basis to review and discuss housing element milestones and objectives.

Through the Committee and individually, the City has sought input from HCD and will continue to do so regarding grant funding opportunities, particularly for SB 2.

The City works with other jurisdictions in Fresno County and the Fresno Housing Authority to identify opportunities for housing and refers lower-income households to the Housing Authority for services and resources.

The County has also worked with developers of affordable housing and stakeholders to explore options for development of affordable housing. Kingsburg has been successful in processing a tax-credit project for 47 senior housing units for the Fresno County Housing Authority. The City also works closely with Fresno County Public Works and Planning regarding HUDrelated activities and provides related updates to the City Council.

Program 2: Review Annexation Standards in Memorandum of Understanding All jurisdictions in Fresno County are subject to the City-County Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which establishes procedures for annexation of land to cities.

The City/County MOU encourages urban development to take place within cities and unincorporated communities in an effort to preserve agricultural land. The MOU standards for annexation require that development be imminent and a minimum of 50 percent of annexation areas have an approved tentative subdivision map or site plan.

While cities can take certain steps to “prezone” land in advance of annexation, the annexation of the land into the city limits is dependent upon private developers to request an annexation.

Timeframe and Objectives:
 During the Housing Element planning period, the County of Fresno and the cities within the County shall work together to review and revise, as deemed appropriate by all parties, the standards for annexation contained in the Memorandum of Understanding between the County and the cities.

The City of Kingsburg processed five annexations with the County of Fresno. Approximately 250 residential units have been permitted in these annexed areas. The City complied with the County's MOU when these annexations were processed. The City worked with the County to update and adopt a new MOU in January 2022.

Modify.

See new Program 2.

Program 4: Provision of Adequate Sites
The City of Kingsburg will provide for a variety of housing types and ensure that adequate sites are available to meet its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) of 374 units. As part of this Housing Element update, the City has developed a parcelspecific inventory of sites suitable for future residential development. The suitability of these sites has been determined based on the development standards in place and their ability to facilitate the development of housing to meet the needs of the City’s current and future residents.

Timeframe and Objectives:
 Maintain and annually update the inventory of residential land resources.  Provide the updated inventory on City website and make copies available upon request.
 Promote the use of Form Based Code in the downtown area by providing technical assistance to interested developers.
 Monitor development and other changes in the inventory to ensure the City has remaining capacity consistent with its share of the regional housing need.  Actively participate in the development of the next RHNA Plan to better ensure that the allocations are reflective of the regional and local land use goals and policies.

The City has processed five subdivisions since 2016, amounting to over 450 residential lots, and approved two projects with the Fresno County Housing Authority. The first was a 48-unit affordable tax credit project and the second a 47-unit senior housing project, approved in 2019. In addition, the City has approved two tax credit housing projects in partnership with the Fresno County Housing Authority. Since 2016, the City has continued to utilize its form-based code to promote mixed use development in its downtown. The form-based code resulted in the Stone Plaza 10-unit project that is currently (2023) under construction. A representative from City Council participated in the RHNA Plan development process for the 6th cycle.

Program 4: Monitoring of Residential Capacity (No Net Loss) The City will monitor the consumption of residential acreage and development on nonresidential sites included in the inventory to ensure an adequate inventory is available to meet the City’s RHNA obligations. To ensure sufficient residential capacity is maintained to accommodate the RHNA, the City will develop and implement a formal ongoing (project-by-project) evaluation procedure pursuant to Government Code Section 65863. Should an approval of development result in a reduction of capacity below the residential capacity needed to accommodate the remaining need for lowerincome households, the City will identify and if necessary rezone sufficient sites to accommodate the shortfall and ensure “no net loss” in capacity to accommodate the RHNA.

Timeframe and Objectives:
 Develop and implement a formal evaluation procedure pursuant to Government Code Section 65863.
 Monitor and report through the HCD annual report process.  If rezoning/upzoning is required to replenish the sites inventory for meeting the RHNA shortfall, the sites shall be adequate in size to accommodate at least 16 units per site at a minimum density of 20 units per acre and shall be rezoned within two years.

In 2018, the City approved a downtown project that included commercial space and five residential units. In 2020, the City also approved the 10-unit Stone Plaza mixed-use project that is currently (2022) under construction. The City continues to have sufficient land to support residential development to meet the RHNA. A representative from City Council participated in the RHNA Plan development process for the 6th cycle.

Program 19: Lot Consolidation and Lot Splits
The City of Kingsburg’s vacant sites inventory is primarily comprised of smaller parcels of less than half acre, potentially constraining residential development, especially to multifamily development. The City will encourage lot consolidation to promote the efficient use of land for residential development pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act.

Timeframe and Objectives:
 Assist interested developers/property owners in identifying opportunities for lot consolidation.
 Continue to process requests for lot consolidation concurrent with other development reviews.
 Annually monitor lot consolidation activities as part of the City annual report to HCD on Housing Element progress and evaluate if City efforts are effective in facilitating lot consolidation of small sites for residential development. If appropriate, make necessary changes to facilitate lot consolidation.

The City continuously assists interested developers and property owners in identifying opportunities for lot consolidation; however, no lot consolidations were initiated during the planning period.

The City annually monitors lot consolidation activities as part of its Housing Element annual progress report to HCD and
evaluates if the City’s efforts are effective in facilitating lot consolidation for residential development. When appropriate, the City makes necessary changes to facilitate lot consolidation, though no changes were needed during the 5th cycle planning period. The City will continuously process requests for lot consolidation concurrently with other development reviews, if needed.

Program 7: Water and Wastewater Capacity
The development viability of the vacant sites in the inventory is directly linked to the availability and capacity of public facilities and services. The City continues to work to address water supply issues and infrastructure capacity limitations.

Additionally, California Government Code Section 65589.7 requires water and sewer providers to establish specific procedures and grant priority water and sewer service to developments with units affordable to lower-income households. The statute also requires local governments to immediately deliver the housing element to water and sewer providers. The City of Kingsburg is the water service provider; the SelmaKingsburg-Fowler County Sanitation District (SKF) provides sewer service in the City.

Timeframe and Objectives:
 Continue to monitor water and wastewater capacity and make improvements, as appropriate and feasible, to better serve existing development and strive to accommodate the RHNA.
 Establish procedures by the end of 2016 for granting priority water and sewer service to developments with lower-income units in compliance with California Government Code Section 65589.7.

Each year, the City confirmed that the SKF wastewater treatment plant continues to have ample capacity to serve the sewer needs throughout the service area, including Kingsburg, Fowler, and Selma. The City monitors the wastewater treatment plant’s permit capacity on an annual basis. In 2016, sewer and water were available to a 48-unit Fresno County Housing Authority project, a tax-credit project.

Modify.

See new Program 7.

Program 8: Affordable Housing Incentives
The City continues to have needs for affordable housing for lower-income households, especially for seniors, disabled (including persons for developmental disabilities), the homeless, and those at imminent risk of becoming homeless. The City will continue to work with housing developers to expand affordable housing opportunities in the community.

Timeframe and Objectives:
 Maintain a list of interested developers and annually contact developers to explore affordable housing opportunities.
 Continue to promote the State density bonus, flexible development standards, and other incentives to facilitate affordable housing development by publicizing the incentives on City website and by conducting pre-application consultation with developers regarding incentives available.  Continue to streamline the environmental review process for housing developments to the extent possible, using available state categorical exemptions and federal categorical exclusions, when applicable.

The City works with developers to identify sites that are zoned for residential development. In 2018, the City worked with Tulare County to process a planned unit development, including 8 lots for multifamily development and 150 single family residential lots outside of city limits. The City works closely with any developer, regardless of the proposed housing type, and maintains a strong partnership with Fresno Housing Authority. Kingsburg’s North Kingsburg Specific Plan provides flexibility for development, including small lots, reduced setbacks, and alley-loaded garages.

The City has also annexed five residentially zoned lands, three of which are suitably zoned to accommodate affordable housing units. The City is working with the Fresno County Housing Authority and any other developer that would offer a tax-credit project. The City's ongoing work with the Fresno County Housing Authority aims to provide low-income housing for disabled persons, farmworkers, and seniors, and the City continues to search for funding opportunities to provide housing for lowerincome households and special needs populations.

 Annually pursue State, Federal and other funding opportunities to increase the supply of safe, decent, affordable housing in Kingsburg for lower-income households (including extremely low-income households), such as seniors, disabled (including persons with developmental disabilities), farmworkers, the homeless, and those at risk of homelessness.
 Annually contact affordable housing developers to explore affordable housing opportunities.
 Expand the City’s affordable housing inventory by 80 units over the next eight years (including the 46-unit Marion Villas Apartments) – 10 extremely lowincome, 30 very low-income, and 40 low-income units.

The City coordinated with the Fresno County Housing Authority to complete a 47-unit senior housing tax credit project, which began construction in 2020. The City continually streamlines housing projects and provides density bonuses in compliance with state law. The Marion Villa project (5 units affordable to 30 percent AMI and 40 units affordable to 50 to 60 percent AMI) along with the Housing Authority's pending 47-unit project (5 market rate units, 18 units affordable to 50 to 80 percent AMI, and 23 units affordable to 30 to 49 percent AMI) led to the 80-unit objective being exceeded. The City continues to use Categorical Exemptions or Negative Declarations when preparing
environmental documents for proposed housing developments.

Program 9: Farmworker Housing
The farming industry is the foundation of the County’s economy base. According to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) 2012, about 58,600 workers were employed in farm labor throughout the County, indicating a significant need to provide housing for farmworkers and their families, particularly during peak harvest seasons.

Timeframe and Objectives:
 Continue to support and encourage other agencies and housing developers, such as the Fresno Housing Authority and Self-Help Enterprises, in the application of funds for farmworker housing, including State HCD and USDA Rural Development loans and grants and other funding sources that may become available.
 Continue to offer incentives such as gap financing (as funding is available), density bonus, streamlined processing to facilitate the development of farmworker housing.
 Annually monitor the status of farmworker housing as part of the City’s annual report to HCD on Housing Element progress and evaluate if City efforts are effective in facilitating the provision of farmworker housing. If appropriate, make necessary changes to enhance opportunities and incentives for farmworker housing development.

The City makes streamlined processing, density bonuses, and other incentives available to all residential developers. While farmworker housing has not been provided within city limits, many farmworkers are eligible for housing assistance through the Fresno County Housing Authority. The City continues to work with the Fresno County Housing Authority to provide low-income housing for persons with disabilities, farmworkers, and seniors and expand the supply of tax-credit projects. To aid in development of affordable housing, the North Kingsburg Specific Plan provides flexibility to include small lots, reduced setbacks, and alley-loaded garages.

Program 9: Preserving Assisted Housing
Preserving the existing affordable housing stock is a cost-effective approach to providing affordable housing in Kingsburg. The City must guard against the loss of housing units available to lower-income households. This City has a total of 187 publicly assisted rental units in three projects. In addition, a new 46-unit senior housing development is under construction. No publicly assisted rental housing units are considered at risk of converting to market-rate housing before December 31, 2025 Timeframe and Objectives:
 Continue to monitor status of affordable housing projects. If projects become at risk of converting to market-rate housing:
o Monitor the status of any Notice of Intent and Plan of Action filed by property owners to convert to market-rate units.
o Identify nonprofit organizations as potential purchasers/managers of atrisk housing units. o Explore funding sources available to purchase affordability covenants on at-risk projects, transfer ownership of at-risk projects to public or nonprofit agencies, purchase existing buildings to replace at-risk units, or construct replacement units.
o Ensure the tenants are properly noticed and informed of their rights and eligibility to obtain special Housing Choice Vouchers reserved for tenants of converted HUD properties.

The City monitors assisted housing projects to ensure that affordable housing are not converted to market-rate housing.

Currently, the majority of affordable projects are deed restricted.

Due to limited staff capacity, the City has not explored funding sources to purchase affordability covenants on at-risk projects.

However, there were no Notices of Intent to convert to market rate submitted to the City that would have resulted in a potential need for acquisition or transfer of ownership. Therefore, there have not been any converted HUD properties, and therefore tenants have not needed information regarding special housing vouchers.

Modify.

See new Program 12.

Program 13: Accessory Units (Second Units)
A second unit (sometimes called an “accessory dwelling unit” or “granny flat”) is an additional self-contained living unit either attached to or detached from the primary residential unit on a single lot. It has cooking, eating, sleeping, and full sanitation facilities. Second units can be an important source of affordable housing given that they are generally less expensive to construct due to their typically smaller sizes and no associated land costs.

Timeframe and Objectives:
 By 2019, consider fee reductions for second units and implement a public education program advertising the opportunity for second units through the City website and at the planning counter.

The City deploys a 25 percent permit fee reduction for all projects. The City is in the process of amending its zoning ordinance to comply with State planning law, which is expected to be completed in late 2023. The City processed three ADU developments in 2021.

Program 16: Zoning Code Amendments
In compliance with State laws, the City will amend its Zoning Code to address the provision of a variety of housing options, especially housing for special needs groups.

Specifically, the City will amend the Zoning Code to address the following:
 Density Bonus: Consistent with Government Code, a density bonus up to 35 percent over the otherwise maximum allowable residential density under the applicable zoning district will be available to developers who provide affordable housing as part of their projects. Developers of affordable housing will also be entitled to receive incentives on a sliding scale to a maximum of three, where the amount of density bonus and number of incentives vary according to the amount of affordable housing units provided.  Farmworker/Employee Housing: Comply with the Employee Housing Act which requires farmworker housing up to 12 units or 36 beds be considered an agricultural use and permitted in any zone that permits agricultural uses, and employee housing for six or fewer employees are to be treated as a single family structure and permitted in the same manner as other dwellings of the same type in the same zone.
 Reasonable Accommodation: Establish a reasonable accommodation procedure to provide flexibility in policies, rules, and regulations in order to allow persons with disabilities access to housing.
 Definition of Family: Remove the definition of family in the Zoning Code, or amend the definition to ensure it does not differentiate between related and unrelated individuals, or impose a numerical limit on the number of persons in a family.
 Manufactured Homes: Amend the Zoning code to subject permanently sited manufactured homes built to the HUD Code to the same rules as site-built homes in the same zones. Currently manufactured homes are subject to an Administrative Review where site-built homes are permitted by right.  Single-Room Occupancy (SRO) Housing: Amend the Zoning Code to address the provision of SRO housing.
 Small Residential Care Facilities: Amend the Zoning Code the address the provision of small residential care facilities in the RA zone.  Rezoning and redesignation to Address the RHNA: To address the 2023-2031 RHNA, amend the General Plan and/or Zoning Code to create a new zoning district, to provide adequate sites to address the shortfall in units to address the lower income RHNA of 409 units (the City’s lower income RHNA number). Redesignating and rezoning parcels with APNs 39425116, 39425117, 39602019, and 39421007 in Table 1H-4 will address the shortfall of suitably designated and zoned sites to address the lower-income RHNA.

The allowed base density in the new residential land use designation and Due to limited staff capacity, the City has not amended the zoning code to remove administrative approval requirements for manufactured homes, identified a zone to permit SRO housing, addressed the provision of small residential care facilities, amended where farmworker housing is permitted, or adopted a reasonable accommodation ordinance. However, the City has removed the definition of family to ensure it does not differentiate between related and unrelated individuals or impose a numerical limit on the number of persons in a family, and the City implements density bonuses in compliance with State law.

Modify.

See new Program 16.

April 2024 Page 9
zoning district applied to these sites will be a maximum of 30 dwelling units per acre, with a minimum density of 20 dwelling units per acre. With the proposed allowed density, each site will permit at least 16 units on the site.

All of these sites shall be designated for residential use only. Implementation will include meeting all the requirements per Government Code section 65583.2, subdivisions (h) and (i). Development standards will be established or modified as to facilitate development to achieve maximum density. The redesignation and rezoning of the parcels to address the lower income shortfall must be completed within one year of the beginning of the 6th Cycle Housing Element planning period, which is December 31, 2024.

Timeframe and Objectives:
 Amend Zoning Code to address State law requirements within two years of Housing Element adoption.
 Annually review the effectiveness and appropriateness of the Zoning Code and process any necessary amendments to remove or mitigate potential constraints to the development of housing.

Program 12: Monitoring of Growth Management System
Pursuant to State law, the City must ensure that its policies and regulations governing residential in the City do not preclude the City from meeting its RHNA for all income levels. The City’s current Growth Management System provides adequate allocations to meet the overall RHNA. The City will monitor its annual and cumulative allocations to ensure that remaining allocations can accommodate its RHNA for all income levels.

Timeframe and Objectives:
 As part of the City’s annual allocation process, monitor the remaining allocations available. As necessary to meet the City’s RHNA for all income levels, consider prioritizing allocations to projects that help meet the City’s RHNA.
 By 2018 and at least bi-annually, monitor and modify as appropriate, the Growth Management System to ensure that the allocation process does not unduly constrain housing development in the community.

Since 2016, the City has issued allocations for over 500 single family dwellings and 78 multifamily units. The City's Growth Management System has not restricted any residential
development, either single family or multifamily.

Continue.

See new Program 17.

Program 13: Monitoring of Planning and Development Fees The City charges various fees to review and process development applications. Such fees may add to the cost of housing development.

Timeframe and Objectives:
 Continue to monitor the various fees charged by the City to ensure they do not unduly constrain housing development.
 As appropriate, consider incentives such as deferred or reduced fees to facilitate affordable housing development.

The City reviews fees on an annual basis. The City also offers a 25 percent reduction or more on impact fees for all new construction. The Stone Plaza 10-unit mixed-use project received a 90 percent reduction on impact fees for the residential portion of the project.

Program 18: First-Time Homebuyer Resources
Kingsburg residents have access to a number of homebuyer assistance programs offered by the California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA):
 Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC): The MCC Tax Credit is a federal credit which can reduce potential federal income tax liability, creating additional net spendable income which borrowers may use toward their monthly mortgage payment. This MCC Tax Credit program may enable first-time homebuyers to convert a portion of their annual mortgage interest into a direct dollar for dollar tax credit on their U.S. individual income tax returns.  CalPLUS Conventional Program: This is a first mortgage loan insured through private mortgage insurance on the conventional market. The interest rate on the CalPLUS Conventional is fixed throughout the 30-year term. The CalPLUS Conventional is combined with a CalHFA Zero Interest Program (ZIP), which is a deferred-payment junior loan of three percent of the first mortgage loan amount, for down payment assistance.
 CalHFA Conventional Program: This is a first mortgage loan insured through private mortgage insurance on the conventional market. The interest rate on the CalHFA Conventional is fixed throughout the 30-year term.

CalHFA loans are offered through local loan officers approved and trained by CalHFA.

Timeframe and Objectives:
 Promote available homebuyer resources on City website and public counters in 2016.
 Annually review funding resources available at the state and federal levels and pursue as appropriate to provide homebuyer assistance.

The City continues to investigate first-time homebuyer programs and makes information available on the City’s website and at public counters. This program will be modified to ensure effectiveness in the future. Staff turnover and limited funding for staff time have precluded the ability to consistently track and report program outcomes.

1.3.2 Modifications to Existing Programs
As shown in Table 2, Summary of Program Changes Between Existing Housing Element and 2023–2031 Housing Element, the proposed 2023–2031 Housing Element consolidates many programs from the existing Housing Element to aid in implementation and eliminate redundancy. None of the programs in Table 2 would result in physical change in the environment. The following 19 amended programs are included in the proposed 2023–2031 Housing Element (Note: the following programs are modified to indicate changes to amended programs using underline for revised or new language or strikeout for deletions).

1.3.2.1 AMENDED PROGRAMS
Program 1: Regional Collaboration on Housing Opportunities The Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element provides an opportunity for a review of countywide housing issues and needs to be more. Housing needs will be more effectively addressed at the regional level rather than just at the local level, and the 13 15 participating jurisdictions are committed to continuing the regional collaboration in the implementation of the Housing Element. By working together, the jurisdictions can share best practices, explore opportunities for further collaboration, and make the best use of limited resources. The following efforts will be made to further regional collaboration:

Timeframe and Objectives:
 The City will cContinue to participate in the cCountywide Housing Element Technical Committee to collaborate on housing program implementation and regional issues including, addressing the needs of disadvantaged unincorporated communities (Senate Bill [SB] 244), infrastructure challenges, farmworker housing, homelessness, and fair housing.
 The countywide Housing Element Technical Committee will meet at least biannually to evaluate successes in implementation of programs and to identify gaps and additional needs.  The County of Fresno Public Works and Planning Department, with assistance of the Fresno Council of Governments (FCOG), will take the lead in coordinating the biannual committee Countywide Fifth Cycle Housing Element Committee meetings.
 The Housing Element Technical Committee will meet annually with the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to discuss funding opportunities and challenges in implementation of programs and seek technical assistance from HCD and other State agencies in the implementation of housing programs and the pursuit of grant funding.  The Committee will meet periodically with Fair Housing of Central California to discuss fair housing issues and opportunities for education.
 The Housing Element Technical Committee will advocate on behalf of the Fresno County region for more grant funding for affordable housing and infrastructure improvements.  The City will cContinue to seek partnerships with other jurisdictions in the region and other agencies (such as the Housing Authority), housing developers, community stakeholders, and agricultural employers/employees to explore viable options for increasing the availability of farmworker housing in suitable locations in the region.

 The City will dDevelop a directory of services and resources for lower-income households available in the region, and review and update it annually. Make Tthe directory will be available on City/County websites and at City/County offices.

Program 2: Review Annexation Standards in Memorandum of Understanding Most All jurisdictions in Fresno County are subject to the City/County Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which establishes procedures for annexation of land to cities. The City/County MOU encourages urban development to take place within cities and unincorporated communities in an effort to where urban services and facilities are available or planned to be made available to preserve agricultural land. The MOU standards for annexation require that development be imminent and a minimum of 25 50 percent of annexation areas have an approved tentative subdivision map or site plan. While cities can take certain steps to “prezone” land in advance of annexation, the annexation of the land into the city limits depends on is dependent upon private developers to requesting an annexation. In cities that are mostly built out within their current city limits, the MOU may limit the cities’ ability to accommodate future housing needs.

Timeframe and Objectives:
 During the Housing Element planning period, the County of Fresno and the cities within tThe County of Fresno and cities in the county shall work together at least once during the planning period to review and revise, as deemed appropriate by all parties, the standards for annexation contained in the City/County MOU Memorandum of Understanding between the County and the cities.

Program 519: Lot Consolidation and Lot Splits
To create additional opportunities for infill development and affordable housing, the City will help to facilitate lot consolidations to combine small lots identified as part of a larger site in the Housing Element into larger developable lots for housing. The City will meet with local developers and property owners to discuss development opportunities and incentives for lot consolidation to accommodate affordable housing units and consider additional incentives brought forth by developers. As developers and owners approach the City with interest in lot consolidation for the development of affordable housing, the City could defer certain fees, allow more height or additional stories, waive lot merger fees for certain small contiguous lots, and provide concurrent/fast tracking of project application reviews to developers who provide affordable housing. By 2026, the City will review the effectiveness of this program and revise as appropriate. The City will also evaluate grant funding for parcel assemblage land banking when it is available The City of Kingsburg’s vacant sites inventory is primarily comprised of smaller parcels of less than half acre, potentially constraining residential development, especially to multifamily development.

 CalHFA Conventional Program: This is a first mortgage loan insured through private mortgage insurance on the conventional market. The interest rate on the CalHFA Conventional is fixed throughout the 30-year term.

The City will promote all available homebuyer resources on the City’s website and at public counters and will annually review funding resources available at the state and federal levels and pursue as appropriate to provide homebuyer assistance.

1.3.3 New Programs
The following 13 new programs represent additions to the existing General Plan:
 Program 3: Homeless/Unhoused Needs
The City will cooperate with neighboring cities, the County, and other agencies in the development of programs aimed at providing homeless shelters and related services. During this coordination, the City will monitor the demographic composition of the unhoused population to identify needs for targeted resources and determine what efforts to take, such as providing education on financial assistance and identifying specific programs that are available. The City will also support local homeless service providers, agencies, and other community organizations to pursue funding from available sources for homeless services.  Program 5: Residential in Highway Commercial District Land designated as Highway Commercial provides a currently untapped opportunity for higher density multifamily development in close proximity to services, transit, and residential districts. Similar to the Central Commercial district, the Highway Commercial district is located near State Route 99 and adjacent to a variety of residential districts. Currently, parcels designated Highway Commercial in the northwest portion of the city have a Mixed-Use overlay that allows for residential development on a case-by-case basis. To facilitate additional opportunities for higher density residential development and address the 2023–2031 Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), the City will amend the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance to allow 20 units per acre or greater by-right in the Highway Commercial district with a maximum building height of 50 feet. There will be no minimum density on these sites. The City intends to amend the General Plan Land Use map and text, as well as the Zoning Ordinance and zoning map, as part

of this program, for all sites in the Highway Commercial district listed in Table 1H-4 of Section 1H-2, Sites Inventory, of this Housing Element.
 Program 6: Annexation Area
The Housing Element is relying on the Kings Estates V annexations to satisfy 104 units of its above moderate-income RHNA allocation. The project has already received allocations under the Growth Management System from the City of Kingsburg. Due to the parcels’ proximity to the city and adjacency to Phases II and III of the larger Kings Estates development, the site is not expected to face any barriers to annexation. Annexation of Kings Estates V is expected to be approved by the Fresno Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) by early 2025. If the annexation of this project is not approved, this program will also be used to find alternative housing opportunities to accommodate at least 97 above moderate-income units by December 2026 to meet the RHNA.  Program 10: Farmworker Preference in New Affordable Housing For new affordable housing projects developed with City assistance, incentives, and/or subject to City requirements, the City will require that the developer give qualified farmworker households a preference for 10 percent of the new units. Should demand from farmworker households be insufficient to fill the set-aside units, then the units will be made available to other qualified households. The City will annually reach out to affordable housing developers to gather interest and input on how to best implement this program and will provide information on available funding.  Program 11: Extremely Low-Income Households
Assembly Bill (AB) 2634 requires the quantification and analysis of existing and projected housing needs for extremely low-income households. To support the development or rehabilitation of SRO units and/or other units affordable to extremely low-income households, such as supportive and multifamily units, the City will continue to seek and pursue state and federal funds to offer a variety of incentives or concessions, such as:
o Provide financial support annually, as available, to organizations that provide counseling, information, education, support, housing services/referrals, and/or legal advice to extremely lowincome households, to mitigate risk of displacement and support housing stability for extremely low-income households, persons with disabilities, farmworkers, and persons experiencing homelessness.
o Expand regulatory incentives for the development of units affordable to extremely low-income households and housing for special-needs groups, persons with disabilities (including developmental disabilities), and individuals and families in need of emergency/transitional housing. o Encourage the provision of affordable housing for young adults, particularly former foster youth and young mothers, through planning consultations, streamlined permit processing, and funding assistance.
o Encourage the development of SRO facilities, transitional and supportive housing, and other special housing arrangements, including committing City funds to help affordable housing developers provide SRO facilities consistent with the SRO Ordinance April 2024 Page 29

1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR
 Program 14: Replacement Units
To reduce displacement risk and in accordance with California Government Code Section 65583.2(g), the City will require replacement housing units subject to the requirements of California Government Code Section 65915(c)(3) on sites identified in the sites inventory when any new development (residential, mixeduse, or nonresidential) occurs on a site that has been occupied by or restricted for the use of lower-income households at any time during the previous five years.

This requirement applies to:
o Non-vacant sites;
o Vacant sites with previous residential uses that have been vacated or demolished.  Program 15: Housing for a Variety of Needs
The City will encourage housing types to address the housing needs of a variety of household types, sizes, and incomes. This could include duplexes, townhomes, apartment buildings, and condominiums in neighborhoods and new subdivisions. This will help to identify innovative and alternative housing options, providing greater flexibility and affordability in the housing stock while promoting mixed-income development. This may include consideration for further reduction in regulatory barriers for community land trusts, tiny houses, microhomes, cottage homes, small lot subdivisions, and other alternative housing types, as well as exploration of a variety of densities and housing types in all zoning districts.

The City will use the findings of this program to target development of a variety of housing types in areas of predominantly single-family development and of concentrated overpayment to reduce displacement risk, promote inclusion, and support integration of housing types based on income.  Program 18: Reasonable Accommodations and Universal Design The City will develop and formalize a general process that a person with physical and developmental disabilities can use to make a reasonable accommodation request to accommodate the needs of persons with disabilities and streamline the permit review process. The City will provide information to individuals with disabilities regarding reasonable accommodation policies, practices, and procedures based on the guidelines from HCD. This information will be available through postings and pamphlets at the public counter and on the City’s website.

The City will also implement State requirements (Sections 4450 to 4460 of the California Government Code and Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations) to include accessibility in housing and public facilities for persons with disabilities:
o Encourage housing developers to include mobility-impaired accessibility in their project designs and prioritize these types of projects to increase housing mobility opportunities for seniors and persons with disabilities.
o Review regulations and procedures for City-funded or operated housing programs to ensure that they do not exclude participation by persons with disabilities.

1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR
o Include accessibility considerations in the preparation of the City’s capital improvement plan and the allocation of funding for capital improvements in support of housing and residential neighborhoods for persons with physical or developmental disabilities.  Program 19: Lot Consolidation
To create additional opportunities for infill development and affordable housing, the City will help to facilitate lot consolidations to combine small lots identified as part of a larger site in the Housing Element into larger developable lots for housing. The City will meet with local developers and property owners to discuss development opportunities and incentives for lot consolidation to accommodate affordable housing units and consider additional incentives brought forth by developers. As developers and owners approach the City with interest in lot consolidation for the development of affordable housing, the City could defer certain fees, allow more height or additional stories, waive lot merger fees for certain small contiguous lots, and provide concurrent/fast tracking of project application reviews to developers who provide affordable housing. By 2026, the City will review the effectiveness of this program and revise as appropriate. The City will also evaluate grant funding for parcel assemblage land banking when it is available.
 Program 21: Preliminary Applications (SB 330) and Streamlined Approval (SB 35) The City will continue to review projects in compliance with SB 330. The City will also establish a written policy and/or procedure, and other guidance as appropriate, to specify the SB 35 streamlining approval process and standards for eligible projects under Government Code Section 65913.4. The applications will be available on the City’s website for developers interested in pursuing the streamlined process or vesting rights.
 Program 22: Objective Design Standards
The City will develop objective design guidelines and revise existing standards to remove subjective standards and provide clear and objective standards related to single-family, multifamily, and mixed-use residential developments for the “Swedish Village.” This work will include objective standards for the MXU district.
 Program 30: Improve Access to Resources
The City shall take the following actions to improve access to resources and opportunities citywide, but with a particular emphasis on place-based revitalization in neighborhoods with a concentration of lowerincome residents who often face additional barriers in accessing resources:
o Work with Fresno County Rural Transit Agency (FCRTA) and other jurisdictions in the county to develop a fact sheet, or similar informational materials, of FCRTA programs to be posted on the City’s website, social media, and in public buildings by January 2026, and advertised annually in the City’s newsletter to help connect seniors and other residents to services in the city and throughout the county. Once informational materials area available, conduct targeted outreach in areas with higher rates of seniors and persons with disabilities within six months, including on the south side of the city and to age-restricted senior housing complexes.

1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR
o Prioritize projects that facilitate place-based revitalization through the City’s Capital Improvement Plan, such as projects that improve public infrastructure in deteriorating or underserved areas.

Review funding opportunities that will allow the City to fund projects currently listed as unfunded in the CIP to invest in community amenities such as water and sewer infrastructure, parks and recreation facilities or active transportation facilities on an annual basis and apply as they become available. Apply for funding for at least two community amenities projects during the planning period.
o Ensure program availability and funding announcements are made available in Spanish starting with six months of Housing Element adoption and translation is available at public meetings.

Provide translation services as requested, at least 10 public meetings during the planning period. o Facilitate place-based revitalization and promote healthy environments for new housing by evaluating transitional buffers between residential and agricultural uses and highways and working with developers as projects are proposed to mitigate impacts associated with emissions from agricultural industries and traffic and facilitate access to healthy outdoor spaces. o To promote environmental justice, the City shall implement strategies from its General Plan, adopted July 1992, including implementing noise mitigation measures along the railroad line in the Central Business District; maintaining a standard of 2.7 acres of parkland per 1000 residents; and providing open space areas such as pedestrian parkways and other landscaped corridors as connectors between parks, schools, residential areas, and other activity centers where possible.

Implement strategies from other elements of the General Plan listed above on at least an annual basis.
o Meet with school district representatives by June 2025 to analyze whether housing security poses a barrier to student achievement. Work with the school district to assist in securing grant funding for teacher recruitment and retention bonuses, classroom materials, and other incentives for teachers to facilitate positive learning environments citywide. If district representatives identify housing availability as a barrier to teacher retention, conduct a feasibility study to identify the funding that would be required to provide teacher housing or other housing incentives for teachers by June 2028.
 Program 31: Neighborhood Improvements
o The City shall promote environmental justice and maintain and revitalize neighborhoods citywide, with a particular focus on areas of lower opportunity and concentrated poverty. Targeted investment in neighborhood revitalization will focus on improving infrastructure, schools, employment, parks, transportation and other community amenities. The City shall adopt and implement an Active Transportation Plan and Parks Master Plan in order to be more competitive in grant applications, as this will facilitate place-based revitalization through increased investment in transportation and parkways.
o In order to address environmental disparities or negative environmental impacts, particularly related to air quality, the City will conduct citywide outreach to publicize available residential and commercial programs from non-City sources, such as the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, on an annual basis. The City will also investigate the availability of additional funds and programs to mitigate air quality issues, particularly in buildings with low-income tenants and for

low-income homeowners, as well as funding that can be used to incentivize air quality improvement strategies on projects with lower- or moderate-income units, such as the installation of green roofs.

The City will seek this funding on an annual basis and apply as opportunities become available, then make funding available for the applicable strategy within six months of receipt. As is discussed in Program 30, the City will also study transitional buffer areas between residential uses and highways or agricultural uses to mitigate associated issues related to air quality and will identify environmental mitigation strategies on at least two projects during the planning period related to air quality issues. Additionally, the City will actively recruit residents from areas of concentrated poverty to serve on boards, committees, and task forces as vacancies are available, including the Planning Commission, Community Services Commission and Public Safety Committee to facilitate place-based revitalization by encourage representation from areas in high need of investment.  Program 32: Facilitate Housing Co-Located with Religious and Community Facilities o Religious and Community Facilities sites provide a unique opportunity to provide affordable housing on properties that may have surplus land available. Additionally, these sites may support affordable housing options that could provide additional support services on site. o AB 1851 allows faith-based organizations like churches and other places of worship to reduce or eliminate parking requirements when they seek to build affordable housing on land they own or lease. AB 1851 allows faith-based organizations to build housing on their parking lots and prohibits cities from requiring the replacement of those parking spaces. The City will also outreach to promote and encourage the use of SB 4 provisions to facilitate and streamline affordable housing on these properties.
o The City will evaluate opportunities to facilitate co-location of housing on Religious and Community Facilities sites through a Zoning Code amendment and collaborate with faith-based organizations to support viable, voluntary opportunities. The City will outreach to faith-based organizations to discuss the possibilities of developing affordable housing on land they own or lease. The City aims to accommodate at least 35 additional lower income units on properties owned by faith-based organizations during the planning period. The City will target the colocation of housing in higher income, higher opportunity areas.

1.4 PURPOSE OF AN EIR ADDENDUM
According to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(a), an addendum shall be prepared if some changes or additions to a previously adopted EIR are necessary, but none of the conditions enumerated in CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162(a)(1)–(3) calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. As stated in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 (Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations):

When an EIR has been certified or negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following:

C I T Y O F K I N G S B U R G

1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or negative declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
(a) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration;
(b) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR;
(c) Mitigation Programs or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation Program or alternative; or (d) Mitigation Programs or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation Program or alternative.

1.4.1 Rationale for Preparing an EIR Addendum
Because all the sites included in the proposed Housing Element are already designated for residential development, and none of the development standards would be altered as a result of the proposed project, there are no new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects requiring major revisions to the General Plan EIR. Development impacts are addressed through policies in the General Plan, the City’s municipal code, and adopted engineering standards.

As all future development projects must be consistent with the General Plan, and physical impacts from development were anticipated in the General Plan EIR, the proposed project does not meet any of the conditions outlined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 that would require a subsequent EIR.

As stated in CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 (Addendum to an EIR):
(a) The lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. (b) An addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred.

(c) An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the final EIR or adopted negative declaration.
(d) The decision-making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR or adopted negative declaration prior to making a decision on the project.
(e) A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency’s findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanation must be supported by substantial evidence.

2. CEQA Analysis

2.1 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The General Plan contains policies related to land use, circulation, housing, conservation, open space, recreation, noise, and safety. The General Plan is largely designed to be self-mitigating by incorporating policies and implementation programs that address and mitigate environmental impacts related to implementing the General Plan, such as zoning codes and design standards.

Most of the existing Housing Element programs will remain unchanged with the proposed project, and the nine new programs are either informative or would result in no physical change to the environment. Overall, the programs were modified to comply with State law, respond to directives from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), combine programs with similar intent to aid in implementation, or eliminate programs where the City has already completed the identified task.

2.1.1 Analysis of Programs
As previously described in Section 1.2, the General Plan EIR addresses potentially significant impacts related to agricultural resources, air quality, geology and soils, noise, transportation and circulation, and public facilities and services. The General Plan contains policies related to these environmental topics with potentially significant impacts. The General Plan is largely designed to be self-mitigating by incorporating policies and implementation measures that address and mitigate related environmental impacts, such as zoning codes and design standards.

Table 2 shows that most of the existing Housing Element programs will continue with minor modifications to the proposed project. The proposed Housing Element includes 32 total programs, 19 of which are amended, and 13 are new. The programs were modified to comply with state law reflect current conditions and demand or combine programs with similar intent to aid in implementation. Those modified for state law can already be implemented and represent the existing condition. Placement in the Housing Element was made at the request of HCD.

Of the proposed Housing Element programs, two were found to result in physical change (Program 5 and Program 16), and one would amend the City’s General Plan and Zoning (Program 16). However, these programs would not result in new significant impacts that were not already analyzed in the General Plan EIR.

Moreover, these programs would result in potential environmental impacts but would remain consistent with the previous General Plan EIR analysis.

Program 5, Residential in Highway Commercial District, intends to amend the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance to allow 20 units per acre or greater by-right in the Highway Commercial District with a maximum building height of 50 feet with no minimum density on the housing sites. The housing inventory identifies 29

C I T Y O F K I N G S B U R G

2. CEQA Analysis
vacant sites (45 acres) in the Highway Commercial (HC) zone, 26 with the Mixed-Use (MXU) combined district, and 3 sites without. The MXU district aims to facilitate development in former redevelopment project areas that have a mix of existing uses, blighted structures, and inadequate improvements. The MXU district offers flexibility in land uses, allowing all land uses identified in the City's General Plan, including stand-alone residential under the High-Density Residential designation. Density is not prescribed in the MXU district, and single-family residential use is not allowed. To increase residential development in the HC district, the City has included Program 5 to amend the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance to allow 20 units per acre or greater by right. Development potential on properties zoned HC is assumed to be 22 units per acre. As development would be similar in intensity to the existing commercial development that has occurred or can occur on these sites, the previous General Plan EIR analysis is adequate.

Program 16, Zoning Code Amendments, would amend the zoning code by making development standard changes and removing barriers to special-needs housing (e.g., lot size reduction). These changes would not result in changes to the framework of the General Plan nor the General Plan EIR. All other amendments in the program would be made to comply with State law and would not result in substantial new changes. Program 16 would also amend Zoning Code to create a new residential zoning district, allowing a maximum base density of 25 dwelling units per acre. This allows for at least 16 units per site, all designated for residential use. Objective development standards will be established or modified to achieve maximum density, ensuring that sites are designated for residential use only.

Although the proposed program would amend the City’s zoning, the units identified in the Housing Element update would not exceed the City’s population and housing projections, which are listed in Table II-1 of the General Plan EIR, “Population and Housing - City of Kingsburg, 2000 and 2022, and the North Kingsburg Residential Village When Fully Developed. This table shows 6,549 total housing units and 18,024 residents for the city by 2022. The capacity identified in the Housing Element update is 932 units which, when added to the City’s current number of units, is 5,634 units1 (DOF 2023). Thus, there would be 915 fewer units anticipated than the 2022 buildout described and analyzed in the General Plan EIR. Similarly, the estimated number of residents that would be added to the city under full buildout of the 2023–2031 Housing Element is 2,637 residents,
2 which when added to the City’s 2023 population is 15,502 (DOF 2023). Thus, there would be 2,521 fewer residents than the 2022 buildout population described in the General Plan EIR, which is 28,449 residents.

While some of the future development may be ‘by right’ pursuant to changes in state law, future development would still be subject to federal, state, and local policies related to land use, such as the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, wetland conservation, and construction air quality permitting. Additionally, prior to issuance of any building permit, a project applicant is required to pay development impact fees, which would address potential impacts to public services and regional transportation improvements. The policies and regulations identified in the General Plan EIR to reduce physical environmental effects would continue to apply to future development and would reduce impacts to the same significance level as identified in the General Plan EIR. Since the Housing Element update does not affect the land use pattern of the city or result in any physical change to the environment, and because the General Plan EIR evaluated the existing land use pattern and includes policies 1 2023-2031 Housing Element units (932) combined with City’ 2022 estimated housing units from DOF (4,702). 2 2023-2031 Housing Element units (932) multiplied by the DOF 2.83 persons per household for the City of Kingsburg.

2. CEQA Analysis
and programs to address environmental impacts, the update to the Housing Element would not result in any new environmental impacts or increase the severity of any environmental impacts previously evaluated in the General Plan EIR. The impacts of the proposed project would be no more substantial than those analyzed in the General Plan EIR. No new mitigation measures are necessary.

2.2 FINDING
The discussion in this addendum confirms that the proposed project has been evaluated for significant impacts pursuant to CEQA. The discussion is meaningfully different than a determination that a project is “exempt” from CEQA review, as the proposed Housing Element update is not exempt. Rather, the determination here is that the General Plan EIR evaluated the physical impacts likely to result from future development. The General Plan EIR provides a sufficient and adequate analysis of the environmental impacts of the proposed Housing Element.

There are no substantial changes in the circumstances or new information that was not known and could not have been known at the time of the adoption of the General Plan EIR. As a result, and for the reasons explained in this addendum, the project would not cause any new significant environmental impacts or substantially increase the severity of significant environmental impacts disclosed in the General Plan EIR. Thus, the proposed project does not trigger any of the conditions in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 requiring preparation of a subsequent EIR, and the appropriate environmental document as authorized by CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(b) is an addendum. Accordingly, this EIR addendum has been prepared.

The following identifies the standards in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines as they relate to the proposed project. The text that follows the provisions of the law related to the proposed Housing Element.

1. No substantial changes are proposed in the project which would require major revisions of the EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects, AND

2. No substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.

The program changes in the proposed Housing Element are limited to complying with State law, combining programs with similar intent to aid in implementation, or eliminating programs where the City has already completed the identified task. As mentioned in Section 2.1.4, Program 5 would result in the rezoning and redesignation; however, this change would not be substantial. All development in the city must be consistent with the General Plan as modified by the proposed project, and if a discretionary action, would also be subject to CEQA.

Program 16 proposes modifying the zoning code by updating development standards; however, the revised standards will not alter the General Plan. The physical impacts of construction, (e.g., grubbing, grading, trenching, paving) will remain the same and be regulated through the City’s existing development review
