CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 5/2/2023
DEPARTMENT: City Clerk
SUBJECT:

PROCLAMATION SUPPORTING DROWNING PREVENTION AWARENESS
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Approve a Proclamation designating May through September 2023 as Drowning Prevention Awareness Season
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The Orange County Fire Authority (“OCFA”) requests the City Council acknowledge and proclaim the months of May through October as “Drowning Prevention Awareness Season.” The highest percentage of drowning occurs during these three months. Drowning is the leading cause of death and disability in California for children under five years of age. For every child who dies from drowning, another eight receive emergency care for non-fatal submersion injuries. The number of adult drownings has consistently increased over the years as well. Fatal and non-fatal drowning is a silent event, occurring in as little as two inches of water in inflatable swimming pools, spas, and bathtubs.

The themes of this year’s water safety campaign are “Always Watch the Water” and “Never Swim Alone.” OCFA staff will give in-depth information on the preventative measure’s residents can take to prevent drowning through media advisories and demonstrations. The OCFA encourages residents, schools, recreational facilities, businesses, and homeowner associations to become local partners in preparedness by increasing their knowledge of proper safety measures for drowning prevention. The City Council’s adoption of the proposed proclamation (Attachment) serves to enhance community awareness of this issue on behalf of the OCFA.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

PROCLAMATION DECLARING THE MONTH OF MAY AS ASIAN AMERICAN

PACIFIC ISLANDER HERITAGE MONTH
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Approve the Proclamation designating the month of May as Asian Pacific American Heritage Month
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

On March 21, 2023, Council Member Yu requested consensus from the City Council to include this matter on a future City Council agenda. Consensus was provided by Mayor Cirbo (Attachment 1). Tonight, the City Council is asked to approve the proclamation designating the month of May as Asian Pacific American Heritage Month and receive and file this proclamation (Attachment 2).

Asian and Pacific American Heritage month was first initiated by Rep. Frank Horton in 1976. In June 1977, Rep. Horton and Rep. Norman Y. Mineta introduced a resolution in the U.S. House of Representatives proclaiming the first 10 days of May as Asian Pacific Heritage Week. President Jimmy Carter signed a joint resolution for the celebration on October 5, 1978. In 1990, President George H.W. Bush signed a bill passed by Congress to extend Asian American Heritage Week through the entire month of May. In 1991, Congress unanimously passed a law subsequently signed by President George H.W. Bush, proclaiming May 1991 and May 1992 as Asian and Pacific American Heritage Month. By 1992, May was officially designated as Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.

May is now officially proclaimed Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

The month of May celebrates the culture, traditions, and history of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is minimal fiscal impact associated with this item.

The hourly-rate increase is described in the Agreement and properly requested by Mike Linares with all appropriate documentation evidencing the change in CPI (Attachments 4 and 5).

4 The proposed Second Amendment would enable the City to continue receiving consulting services necessary for administration of the CDBG and CDBG-CV grants. CDBG/CDBG-CV consulting services are funded by Federal CDBG and CDBG-CV funds.

BACKGROUND:

Since 1994, the City has received annual CDBG funding from the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”). CDBG is a formula grant allocated to city and county governments to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income persons. To receive this annual grant, the City must complete and submit various reports to HUD detailing the achievement of CDBG goals and documenting related expenditures. These reports include the Annual Action Plans, Five-Year Consolidated Plan, Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing, and Comprehensive Annual Performance Evaluation Reports.

DISCUSSION:

As stated in the original Agreement’s scope of services (Attachment 1), Mike Linares assists staff with administration of the CDBG program, including sub- recipient monitoring, reporting of related activities in HUD’s Integrated Disbursement and Information System (“IDIS”), preparation of various quarterly and annual financial reports, and preparation of Annual Action Plans. The current Agreement with Mike Linares provides for three years of consulting services and a maximum of two one-year extensions. The First Amendment to the agreement was approved in June 2022 and extended the term one year (Attachment 2). It is set to expire on June 30, 2023. Staff is recommending an additional one-year extension of the Agreement (the second of the two extensions described in the Agreement) and $43,250 of additional compensation, which would increase the total compensation to $228,549 (see Table 1 below).

*** Through February 2023
Term Extension, Scope of Work, Compensation and Hourly Rate The proposed Second Amendment would extend the term of the Agreement by one year to June 30, 2024 (Attachment 3). If approved, this extension would be the second of two optional one-year extensions provided for by the original Agreement, which is currently set to expire on June 30, 2023. In addition, the Second Amendment includes a requested increase in compensation of $43,250 for the additional one-year term (Fiscal Year 2023-24), and a CPI-based increase to the hourly rate charged (Attachments 4 and 5). The proposed rate increase from $103.00 to $108.07 (4.93%) is based on the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) change from December 2022 to December 2023 (Attachment 5). As this is the second and final contract extension described in the Agreement, staff would issue a new request for proposals ("RFP") for CDBG consulting services in late 2023.

The increase in compensation for the one-year extension correlates to the projected costs associated with Fiscal Year 2023-24 CDBG and CDBG-CV program administration, and the proposed hourly rate increase to $108.07. Staff does not anticipate additional allocations of CDBG-CV funds.

Vendor Performance Assessment
Pursuant to the Purchasing and Contracting Guidelines, staff are required to complete a vendor performance assessment in conjunction with a proposed contract amendment. This assessment informs whether a contract should be amended, renewed, or terminated based on performance in the following categories: performance of services, timeliness, budget performance, and customer service. Utilizing a detailed evaluation form, staff rated Mike Linares on a scale from one to five for specific criteria contained in each category. Table 2 below summarizes Mike Linares’ performance rating during the current agreement term.

Mike Linares has demonstrated vast technical expertise, regulatory knowledge and provided excellent service for all CDBG-related matters. Mike Linares’ assistance with administering the CDBG-CV allocation was invaluable to the City. Furthermore, Mr. Linares is remarkably flexible and available to assist staff when needed for meetings and consultations.

SUMMARY:

Based on the City’s continuing need for specialized consultant services and Mike Linares’ exceptional performance to date, staff recommend approval of the second one-year extension. The Second Amendment would extend the term of the Agreement to June 30, 2024, provide for a CPI-based hourly rate increase, and increase the total compensation by $43,250 to cover the estimated costs for an additional year of service. If approved, the Second Amendment would bring the total compensation amount in the Agreement to $228,549. Staff prepared the proposed Second Amendment, and it has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney as to form.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Consulting services provided under this Agreement are paid for with Federal CDBG and CDBG-CV funds. The Second Amendment to the Agreement would increase the total compensation amount by $43,250, which would result in a total compensation amount of $228,549. The increased compensation would cover the projected costs associated with extending the term of the Agreement by one year. Staff will recommend sufficient funding for Fiscal Year 2023-24 of the 2023-25 Operating Budget to cover the additional $43,250 in compensation. The draft Fiscal Year 2023-24 CDBG Action Plan, which includes funding allocations for CDBG and CDBG-CV administration, is scheduled for City Council consideration on May 2, 2023.

Dear Mr. Santos:

RE: Adjustment for FY 2023-2024 CDBG/CDBG-CV Program Administration Professional Services Hourly Rate
Please accept this letter as notice that my hourly rate for CDBG and CDBG-CV program administration professional services will increase effective July 1, 2023. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics pegs the Consumer Price Index inflation rate from December 2021 to December 2022 at 4.93 percent (see attached). Applying this variable to my current hourly rate, effective July 1, 2023, my hourly rate will increase to $1 08.07 per hour. Also proposed is a new “not-to-exceed” contract amount of $43,250 for CDBG and CDBG-CV program administration.

My scope of work for the next fiscal year will remain the same. Please note that the scope of work includes the administration of the City’s CDBG-CV grant. I appreciate the consideration of this request. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best regards,
Mike Linares

SUBJECT:

APROVAL OF GRANT OF EASEMENTS AND COST SHARING AGREEMENT

FOR IRRIGATION AND LANDSCAPING WITH THE IRVINE RANCH WATER

DISTRICT
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

1. Accept two Grant of Easements from the Irvine Ranch Water District, one for access across Irvine Ranch Water District property to allow City access to its mitigation parcel, and the second to maintain the irrigation and landscaping on the slope.

2. Approve the Cost Sharing Agreement for Irrigation and Landscaping with the Irvine Ranch Water District.

3. Authorize the City Manager to sign the Cost Sharing Agreement for Irrigation and Landscaping, and the City Clerk to sign two Certificates of Acceptance for Grant of Easement Documents with the Irvine Ranch Water District.

4. Adopt a Resolution entitled: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE FOREST, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE 2021-2023 OPERATING BUDGET; AMENDING REVENUE ESTIMATES FOR
FISCAL YEAR 2022-23
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The Irvine Ranch Water District (“IRWD”) owns property adjacent to the Lake Forest Civic Center. During construction of the Civic Center, staff and IRWD worked together to finalize lot line adjustments to meet size requirements of the mitigation area. This adjustment resulted in a small piece of the City’s slope to be within the IRWD property line. Therefore, IRWD has requested the City maintain certain irrigation and landscaping on a portion of its property where the slope is located. For the City to maintain these certain sections of the property, the City must accept easements from IRWD (Attachments 1 and 2) and enter into a Cost Sharing Agreement (“Agreement”) (Attachment 3).

Item: 10
69 The Agreement outlines the responsibilities of each party as it relates to landscape maintenance and reimbursement for the City’s maintenance expenses. The easements allow the City to access IRWD property to install, maintain, repair, or replace drainage, slopes, landscaping, and appurtenances thereto on a portion of the property. IRWD would continue to own the property, but the City would have nonexclusive rights to access it for maintenance purposes. Accepting easements for this purpose is standard practice between two entities, whether between two governmental agencies or between a governmental agency and a private property owner.

Per the terms of the proposed Agreement, the City would maintain landscaping and irrigation in the easement area of the property for 25 years. In return, IRWD would reimburse the City for the maintenance work by delivering a one-time, lump sum payment of $40,489. Staff negotiated the amount by observing the total annual usage rate and amortizing costs over a 25-year period. At the conclusion of the 25-year period, both parties would negotiate another term and cost.

IRWD prepared the proposed Agreement for Irrigation and Landscaping. In addition, it prepared two separate Grant of Easement documents, one for access across IRWD property to allow City access to its mitigation parcel, and the second to maintain the irrigation and landscaping on the slope. All documents have been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney’s Office. Staff recommends the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to sign the Agreement and accept both Grants of Easements and authorize the City Clerk to sign the Certificates of Acceptance.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of the Cost Sharing Agreement and associated Resolution adjusting the 2021-2023 Operating Budget (Attachment 4) would increase revenue appropriation for Fiscal Year 2022-23 by $40,489.

SUBJECT:

FOURTH AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH KIDDER MATHEWS,
INC., FOR CIVIC CENTER FACILITY MANAGEMENT SERVICES
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

1. Approve the Fourth Amendment to the Agreement for Maintenance Services for Civic Center Facility Management Services with Kidder Mathews, Inc.

2. Authorize the Mayor to sign, and the City Clerk to attest, the Fourth Amendment substantially in the form attached.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Kidder Mathews, Inc. (“Kidder”) is the City’s current provider of facility maintenance at the Lake Forest Civic Center. Kidder provides on-site facility engineering services and administration of Civic Center facility projects. Kidder was contracted to provide the City with contractors and personnel under the general direction of the Facility Manager to address operational and functional issues associated with the Civic Center facilities. The current three-year Agreement for Maintenance Services with Kidder (“Agreement”) was approved by the City Council on September 19, 2019, with a compensation amount of $1,768,938 and included two optional one-year extensions (Attachment 1). The City Council authorized the First and Second Amendments to address COVID- 19-related cleaning and disinfecting services (Attachments 2 and 3). The First Amendment added very detailed cleaning services and the Second Amendment removed the services with no increases or decreases to compensation. The Third Amendment was approved by the City Council on June 21, 2022, and provided the first one-year extension to the Agreement (Attachment 4).

The Agreement with Kidder is set to expire on June 30, 2023. The proposed Fourth Amendment would extend the term of the Agreement to June 30, 2024, and add an additional $568,685 to the compensation amount to cover the costs of the additional year of service. If the Fourth Amendment is approved, the total compensation amount in the Agreement would be $2,834,748. The proposed Fourth Amendment includes a Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) increase applied to labor wages and increases to services performed by Kidder Mathews.

Item: 11
122

BACKGROUND:

The City Council awarded the existing Agreement for Civic Center facility maintenance services on September 19, 2019, with a compensation amount of $1,768,938. Since entering into the Agreement, three amendments have been made. The First Amendment adjusted the scope of work to add in-depth COVID- 19-related cleaning and disinfecting services. Although the Community Center, Senior Center, and Council Chambers were mostly closed to the public during the heigh of the pandemic, the buildings were fully occupied by City staff and the other buildings still had limited activities. The Administration building was occupied every day by staff and police services, which necessitated general facility maintenance services and repairs. In-depth detailed cleaning services were added to the Administration Building while some cleaning and general services were removed from the other buildings. These scope changes resulted in cost offsets which did not require additional compensation. The Second Amendment removed the COVID-19-related cleaning as Civic Center facilities began opening to the public and the virus issue decreased.

The Third Amendment added $497,125 in additional compensation, extended the term of the Agreement by one year, removed custodial and janitorial services from the scope of work, and provided additional services such as life safety monitoring, security monitoring, electrical repairs, plumbing repairs, floor care, fountain repairs, and solar panel maintenance. The Agreement has one final extension available that would extend the term to June 30, 2024.

DISCUSSION:

Kidder was contracted to assist City staff in opening and managing facility operations of the new Civic Center. The City has one Facility Manager that manages repairs at all City facilities, including all 31 City parks (including the Lake Forest Sports Park). Kidder assists the Facility Supervisor by coordinating monthly and quarterly inspections, organizing contractors for facility repairs, addressing daily facility issues, and coordinating warranty related items. Kidder’s current scope of work at the Civic Center includes the following:
•One full-time building engineer on campus
•Electrical repairs
•Elevator maintenance
•Graffiti/Nuisance/Pressure wash/Window cleaning
•HVAC maintenance
•Plumbing repairs
Item: 11
123

•Roofing repairs
The proposed Fourth Amendment with Kidder would extend the term of the Agreement to June 30, 2024, thereby exercising the second and final optional one-year extension described in the Agreement. Additionally, the proposed Fourth Amendment would increase the total compensation by $568,685 to cover the anticipated facility maintenance costs for Fiscal Year 2022-23. The Fourth Amendment would add a 4.9% CPI increase to hourly building engineer wage rates, which amounts to an increase in the estimated budget of $8,443. Staff included additional budget amounts in the proposed contract of $45,402 for anticipated increases related to plumbing, HVAC, and general repairs.

Staff believes that Kidder’s performance met or exceeded the Agreement’s scope of work relative to the responsibilities associated with Civic Center Facility maintenance services. Over the term of the Agreement, Kidder demonstrated its ability to proactively maintain the Civic Center and consistently completed all required tasks in a professional manner as required by the Agreement. The chart below provides an overall summary of the contractor’s performance since the Second Amendment to the Agreement. Consistent with the City’s Purchasing and Contracting Guidelines (“Guidelines”), including vendor assessment, staff recommends extending the Agreement by using the remaining one-year term extension to ensure that the City can adequately continue to maintain the Civic Center facilities.

The Finance Department prepared the proposed amendment and the City Attorney’s Office reviewed the document as to form. Staff recommends the City Council approve the proposed Fourth Amendment.

Item: 11
124

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed Fourth Amendment would add $568,685 to the compensation amount in the Kidder Agreement for a total compensation amount of $2,834,748.

The Fourth Amendment would also extend the term of the Agreement by one year. If approved, staff would also propose sufficient funding in the 2023-2025 Operating Budget.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 5/2/2023
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
SUBJECT:

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM – FISCAL YEAR 2023-2024 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Conduct a public hearing on the draft Fiscal Year ("FY") 2023-2024 Community Development Block Grant ("CDBG") Program Annual Action Plan ("AAP"), close the public hearing, and direct staff to submit the AAP to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The federal Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”) is a formula grant allocated to local governments for the purpose of developing viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities – principally for persons of low and moderate- income. The City has been a recipient of CDBG funds since 1994. The CDBG program is administered at the federal level by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) and locally by the City’s Community Development Department. Pursuant to HUD CDBG program regulations, the City is required to submit an Action Plan to HUD annually.

The Annual Action Plan (“AAP”) specifies how CDBG funds will be used to address the goals and objectives in the City’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan. The draft FY 2023-2024 CDBG AAP is attached for City Council review and comment (Attachment 1). The draft AAP allocates $520,784 of funding to be awarded for FY 2023-2024, as follows:
•Housing Rehabilitation: $200,000;
•Public Services: $78,115;
•Capital Improvement Projects (Curb Ramp Construction): $138,669; and •Program Administration: $104,000.

The public hearing on this item follows a 30-day public comment period (March 31, 2023, to May 1, 2023). Subject to City Council direction, staff will submit the Item: 12

AAP to HUD. The City must submit an approved AAP to HUD no later than May 19, 20231.

BACKGROUND:

Consolidated Plan
The Consolidated Plan (“CP”) is a City Council-approved five-year plan that identifies the City’s overall housing and community development needs, outlines specific goals and objectives to guide the City’s CDBG spending priorities, and supports goals of the Housing Element. To participate in the CDBG program and be eligible to receive annual funding, HUD regulations require that CDBG recipients prepare and submit (to HUD) an updated CP every five years.

The City Council adopted the current 2020-2024 CP on June 16, 2020. FY 2023- 2024 is the fourth year of the current CP cycle. The goals and objectives in the 2020-2024 CP are summarized below:
•Rehabilitate the City’s existing single-family and multi-family housing stock; •Conserve and expand the existing supply of affordable housing; •Provide supportive housing and services for the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless;
•Provide needed community services and infrastructure improvements benefitting low and moderate-income persons and those with special needs;
•Focus on the economic opportunities for residents in low- and moderate- income target areas.

The CP provides for a broad range of potential programs and projects that provide the City flexibility in addressing community needs over the five-year implementation period. The CP also identifies federally required services (e.g., fair housing counseling) the City must provide to receive CDBG funding.

Additionally, the CP stipulates that programs and projects are subject to the availability of CDBG funds and the City’s annual budget adoption process. 1 Regular May 15, 2023, due date extended by prior arrangement with HUD to accommodate possible May 16, 2023, final adoption.

DISCUSSION:

FY 2023-2024 CDBG Annual Action Plan
AAPs serve as the implementation documents for the Consolidated Plan. The FY 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan ("Draft AAP") (Attachment 1) is the City’s draft plan for use of 2023 CDBG funding and any unspent prior-year funds. The Draft AAP presents the available funds, the proposed allocation of those funds, and the federally-mandated services to be provided (e.g., fair housing services). Any program income received during the year would be accounted for in a mid-year budget adjustment or carried forward to the subsequent year's AAP. A City Council-approved AAP must be submitted to HUD by mid-May of each year.

Table 1 below summarizes the available funds and proposed expenditures.

Housing Rehabilitation
The draft AAP includes $200,000 of funding for Housing Rehabilitation. This spending category consists of the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program ("Rehab Loan Program") and the Neighborhood Pride Paint Program ("Paint Program").

Both programs assist income-qualified2 Lake Forest homeowners with completing necessary home repairs and improvements. The program also helps maintain property values and neighborhood aesthetics. The draft AAP provides $165,000 for the Rehab Loan Program, plus program income received during the fiscal year (i.e., loan repayment or interest), and $35,000 for the Paint Program.

The Rehab Loan Program offers maximum loan amounts of $30,000 to owners of conventional single-family homes and up to $15,000 for improvements to mobile and manufactured homes. The recommended funding would provide for approximately six rehab loans and the associated escrow and administration fees. Additional loans may be feasible with program income received during the year. Paint Program grants are typically approximately $6,000. The $35,000 allocation for the Paint Program would provide for approximately five homes to be prepped and repainted.

Capital Improvement Projects
As noted in Table 1 (above), the Draft AAP includes funding for capital improvement projects ("CIPs"). CIPs preserve and/or enhance infrastructure and public facilities in the community. Under HUD regulations, CDBG-funded improvements must primarily benefit low- and moderate-income residents and are typically limited to specific qualifying Census block groups (see Attachment 3 of Draft AAP – Attachment 1). However, projects that implement the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) are exempt from this requirement and are a permitted use of CDBG funds citywide.

The Draft AAP allocates $138,669 for
continued implementation of the
sidewalk/curb ramp compliance project.

Currently, each sidewalk/curb ramp costs
approximately $10,000 to $15,000.

Accordingly, approximately 11 ramps would
be constructed with the requested funding.

FY 2023-2024 funding would provide for
continued implementation of the larger City-
wide sidewalk/curb ramp project initiated in
FY 2004-2005. All ramps constructed with
2 Income Qualified = households earning 80% or less of Orange County's median income, adjusted for household size. Other eligibility criteria also applies.

FY 2023-2024 would be in the southwest portion of the City, identified as “Area 2” of the 2023 Community Satisfaction Survey (south of Trabuco Road, east of Ridge Route Road). To date, 476 of 800 ramps have been completed.3 Program Administration
HUD allows the City to allocate a maximum of 20% of the grant ($104,000 based on the $520,784 FY 2023-2024 grant) for program administration (i.e., staff salaries, consultant services, etc.). Based on anticipated program administration costs, staff recommends $104,000 be allocated for CDBG program administration. This includes $7,500 of sub-recipient grant funding to Fair Housing Council of Orange County. Any unspent administration funds would be carried over to the subsequent fiscal year for non-administration activities such as CIPs or housing.

Public Services
A maximum of 15% of the annual grant may be allocated to public services (e.g., nonprofit organizations that provide a range of social services in the community and whose goals align with those identified in the City’s Consolidated Plan).

Given the value of the proposed services to the Lake Forest community, staff recommends funding public service programs at the maximum amount allowed (15% of the grant). Funding public services at the maximum percentage is consistent with past practice and essential for advancing the goals outlined in the CP.

To engage a wide range of public service providers, staff undertook an outreach effort that began with issuance of a Notice of Funding Availability (“NOFA”) for the FY 2023-2024 program year. The NOFA was published in the Saddleback Valley News and posted on the City's website on December 15, 2022. Staff also sent the NOFA, an application form, and application instructions to those organizations that applied for or expressed interest in receiving funding from the City in the preceding year.

For FY 2023-2024, the City received funding applications from eight non-profit organizations (Attachment 2). All eight received CDBG funding from the City in recent years. Staff recommends funding for all eight applicants, as follows:
3 Does not include approved/funded but not yet completed Phase 13 and 14 ramps.

* Organizations with greater than 100% exceeded their goal for serving LF residents over three years.

In formulating the funding recommendations, staff considered various factors, including but not limited to:
•The correlation between the services provided and the priorities identified in the Consolidated Plan;
•The number of people to be assisted by the proposed program; •Past performance with respect to number of clients served, timely expenditure of funds, submittal of complete and proper reporting; •The extent to which services to be provided overlap with services provided by other agencies recommended for funding;
•The amount of funding requested.

Federal regulations allow fair housing services to be funded as program administration. As such, and because the City is able to administer the program using less than the maximum percentage of the grant allowed, staff recommends that fair housing services be funded as an administrative expense. This approach allows the 15 percent funding allocation for public services to be distributed among seven public service organizations instead of eight, which improves their respective capacity to meet its (and the City's) public service goals.

As in previous years, the total combined amount requested by applicants exceeds the 15% cap for public service grants. Staff and the City’s CDBG consultant reviewed all applications for completeness and with consideration to community needs. In formulating funding recommendations, staff considered the City Council priorities identified in the CP, and returning applicants’ three-year Fair

past performance rates (i.e., the number of Lake Forest residents served relative to the goals stated in the respective applications – see Attachment 3).

Additionally, staff considered the practicalities of administering each grant by both the City and the grant recipient, including the cost of required expenditure reporting, eligibility verification, accounting, and documentation. On this basis, staff recommends that individual grants be no less than $5,000. A summary of the applications received is provided as Attachment 3.

Other Action Plan Components
In addition to documenting available funds and proposed allocations, the draft AAP includes the following components:
•Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the AAP; •Summary of Activities to be undertaken during FY 2023-2024; •Evaluation of Past Performance;
•Summary of Citizen Participation Process and Consultation Process; •Description of the Geographic Areas of the Entitlement; •Discussion of CDBG-funded Affordable Housing Strategy; •Identification of Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities; •Discussion of Barriers to Affordable Housing;
•Information related to Program Specific Requirements.

The AAP also includes the following attachments:
•Copy of public notice corresponding to the public review period and the May 2, 2023, City Council public hearing;
•Low- and moderate-income area map/list with U.S. Census tracts; •List of recommended actions to address impediments to fair housing choice in the Orange County region.

Public Notice
The May 2, 2023, hearing on the draft AAP was preceded by a HUD-mandated 30-day public review period initiated by publication of a public notice in the Saddleback Valley News on March 30, 2023. As of the preparation of this report, the City has not received any public comments regarding the draft AAP.

1. Introduction
The 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan for the City of Lake Forest satisfies the requirements to receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The CDBG program was created by the Housing and Community Development Act (HCDA) of 1974. The primary objective of the CDBG program is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities, principally for persons of low- and moderate-income.

Regulations governing the CDBG program require that each activity undertaken with CDBG funds must meet one of the three national objectives:
• Benefit low- and moderate-income persons
• Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight, or • Meet a community development need having a particular urgency (i.e., federally declared disaster)
As a recipient of CDBG funds, the City must prepare a five-year strategic plan that identifies housing and community needs, prioritizes these needs, and develops a strategic plan to address priority needs. This document is called the Consolidated Plan. The City’s current Consolidated Plan covers the fiscal years of 2020-21 to 2024-25. On an annual basis, the City prepares an expenditure plan that identifies the specific activities it will undertake with its annual CDBG allocation to meet the priority needs identified in the Consolidated Plan. Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 is the fourth year of the current Consolidated Plan cycle.

HUD has announced funding allocations for FY 2023-24. The City will receive $520,784 in CDBG funds for FY 2023-24 – $11,042 (2.2%) more than the City’s current year CDBG allocation. Additionally, program income received during the year will be available for programming.

2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan The City of Lake Forest City Council approved the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan in June 2020. The following Consolidated Plan objectives and outcomes were adopted in the plan. Corresponding annual accomplishment goals for FY 2023-24 are also listed below:
• Infrastructure and Facility Improvements: Improve public infrastructure and facilities that benefit 7,500 low- and moderate-income residents. FY 2023-24 Goal: Project and location to be determined
• Affordable Housing: Improve or expand the supply of housing affordable to 40 lower-income households. FY 2023-24 Goal: Rehab 11 housing units

FY 2023-24 Goal: benefit 1,385 low- and moderate-income residents
• Administration and Planning: Provide CDBG program oversight and coordination, and fair housing services to 450 households. FY 2023-24 Goal: 95 households residents assisted (fair housing services)

3. Evaluation of past performance
FY 2022-23 (the current fiscal year) is the third year of the City’s 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan cycle.

Most planned activities will be completed by June 30, 2023. A table summarizing the City’s Consolidated Plan goals over two completed years (FY 2020-21 through FY 2021-22) is provided as Attachment 1.

4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process City staff encouraged residents and local and regional organizations to review the 2023–2024 Annual Action Plan. There were several opportunities for City residents and agencies/organizations to offer input into the Consolidated Plan process, as noted below:
• The City Council held a public hearing on May 2, 2023, to obtain public comments regarding the Annual Action Plan.
• A draft of the Consolidated Plan was made available for a 30-day public comment period from March 31 to May 1, 2023.
• The Annual Action Plan is scheduled to be adopted by the City Council on May 16, 2023.

5. Summary of public comments
A summary of comments received can be found in Attachment 2.

6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them A summary of comments received can be found in Attachment 2.

7. Summary
The Consolidated Plan is a strategic plan that utilizes data and public input to determine priority housing and community needs. The Annual Action Plan is the expenditure plan for using CDBG funds to address identified priorities. The City’s overall objective for the CDBG program is to create a viable community by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. To accomplish this objective, the City of Lake Forest will utilize $520,784 in CDBG funds and program income during FY 2023-24 to carry out various eligible activities.

1. Introduction
The consolidated planning process requires jurisdictions to contact and consult with other public and private agencies when developing the Consolidated Plan. The plan must include a summary of the consultation process, including identifying the agencies that participated in the process. Jurisdictions must also summarize their efforts to enhance coordination between public and private agencies.

Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l))
To enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health, and service agencies, the City of Lake Forest took the following actions:
• The Community Development Department, acting as the lead agency, met with various City departments and consulted with outside agencies to gain input on annual needs, enhance coordination of services, prevent duplication of services, and resolve issues within the interagency institutional structure.
• The City of Lake Forest collaborates with the County to obtain input on assisted housing programs. Specifically, the City works with and supports the Orange County Housing Authority’s (OCHA) administration of the Housing Choice Voucher Program, which provides housing subsidies to qualified lower-income renters.
• To strengthen the private sector's housing delivery system, the City encourages private housing developers to include affordable units in multi-family housing developments within Lake Forest. The City will also continue cooperating with local nonprofit housing organizations to identify and provide housing opportunities for lower-income households. • Orange County has a broad spectrum of public and nonprofit social service providers that address the needs of the region’s residents. Through the annual CDBG public service grant funding process, City staff can ascertain the services City residents require (e.g., senior services, youth services, services for the near homeless and those already homeless) and develop partnerships with local agencies to ensure the delivery of quality services. • The City of Lake Forest's economic development program coordinates business activities and employment programs with community organizations such as the Lake Forest Chamber of Commerce and the Orange County One-Stop Center.

Coordinating Orange County’s Continuum of Care (OC-CoC) planning process is led by 2-1-1 Orange County and the OC Community Services Department. This nonprofit-public partnership helps ensure comprehensive, regional coordination of efforts and resources to reduce the number of homeless and persons at risk of homelessness throughout Orange County. This partnership serves as the regional coordinator of the year-round CoC planning process and regional homeless system of care.

The City supports the CoC planning process by providing information regarding the activities it will fund to address local homeless issues. The OC-CoC used this information to prepare the regional application to HUD for Homeless Assistance Grant funds. City staff will also expedite certifications of consistency with the Consolidated Plan and other forms of support for the OC-CoC. Additionally, the City supports and participates in the biennial Point-In-Time Survey of the region’s homeless.

Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS The City does not receive Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds; therefore, it does not help the OC-CoC determine ESG allocations, evaluate the outcomes, or develop policies and procedures for administering the regional Homeless Management Information System (HMIS).

Expected Resources
AP-15 Expected Resources – 91.220(c) (1, 2)
Introduction
Fluctuations in annual CDBG allocations make it challenging to determine anticipated resources for five years; however, based on recent allocations, the City expects to receive approximately $500,000 annually in CDBG funding for a five-year total of $2,500,000. The City uses CDBG funds for housing preservation activities, public improvements, public services, and administrative costs.

HUD has announced that the City will receive $520,784 in CDBG funds for FY 2023-2024. Additional resources for the year include program income received during the fiscal year generated by the repayment of previously funded housing rehabilitation loans. The City anticipates that the County of Orange will continue to administer the federal rental assistance program in Lake Forest, assisting approximately 165 households per year. The City will continue its efforts to leverage CDBG funds with other federal, state, and local funds.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
The City has identified other resources that may be available to carry out activities that address the goals of the Consolidated Plan:
• OCHA reports that as of January 2022, 167 Lake Forest households receive rental assistance. The City anticipates that OCHA will provide rental assistance to 165 Lake Forest households during FY 2023-2024. • The City may use local or state resources to fund homeless outreach activities during FY 2023-2024. • The City does not have an inclusionary housing program; however, the Housing Element indicates the City will encourage developers to include a minimum of 15 percent affordable units within their housing projects. Alternatively, developers may pay an in-lieu fee instead of constructing affordable units. The City will negotiate an agreement with a developer to ensure units are built or collect the in-lieu fee.

CDBG does not require matching funds.

If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
The City of Lake Forest Housing Authority owned assets formerly held by the Lake Forest Redevelopment Agency. The Housing Authority sold a tax-defaulted vacant parcel purchased from the County of Orange (“Mamie Thomas Parcel”) to the City on August 16, 2022. The City Council approved the property purchase via Quitclaim Deed and by a Certificate of Acceptance and authorized the City Manager to transfer the purchase price of $310,000 from the City's General Fund to the Housing Authority's Housing Asset Fund. The Housing Authority will use these funds to support future affordable housing activities.

The City approved the construction of a 71-unit apartment project for seniors earning less than 60% of the area median income. The “Mountain View” project is located at 24551 Raymond Way. Twelve units will serve as supportive housing for formerly homeless seniors with special needs.

The project is currently under construction and is expected to be completed in 2023. A second project, Portola Senior Apartments (931 Portola Oaks Drive), is also under construction. The project includes 57 one-bedroom senior apartment units that will be affordable for seniors aged 62 plus earning 50% or less of the area median income. The project will offer amenities and support services to help increase senior residents' financial and housing stability. Completion of the Portola Senior Apartments is anticipated in the Fall of 2023.

Discussion
Funding resources to implement the City’s Consolidated Plan are limited. The City anticipates that fluctuations in CDBG funding will continue.

HUD has begun to invest additional resources into housing assistance vouchers and certificates, and OCHA has aggressively pursued these new resources. The City will support OCHA’s efforts to secure new rental assistance resources. As other resources become available (e.g., Housing Authority, general fund, or state funds), the City will explore opportunities to expend these funds to support the goals and objectives of the Consolidated Plan (e.g. homeless outreach services).

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
The City recognizes that special needs populations (i.e., seniors, disabled, and households with extremely low-income) are more likely to become homeless because they have limited income or other issues that require supportive housing or services; therefore, the City considers supportive services a high priority.

The City anticipates that the greatest obstacle to meeting the underserved needs of these special needs populations will be a lack of financial resources for both supportive services and housing. A common need reported by service providers is affordable housing. Increasing rents, and reductions to the Housing Choice Voucher Program and other housing programs, can impact the City's ability to support affordable housing opportunities for extremely low- and very low-income households.

AP-50 Geographic Distribution – 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed For FY 2023-24, CDBG funds will support citywide activities for eligible households regardless of where they live in Lake Forest. No “area-wide” activities are planned for FY 2023-24; however, a list of CDBG- eligible Census Tract Block Groups is provided in Attachment 3.

Geographic Distribution
Target Area Percentage of Funds
CDBG Target Areas 0
Citywide 100
Table 10 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The City does not explicitly allocate CDBG funds on a geographic basis; instead, funds are allocated to meet lower-income households' needs regardless of where they reside in the City. The City prioritizes using its CDBG funding to preserve affordable housing for lower-income households (via rehabilitation) and help prevent homelessness or assist those already homeless. These activities are carried out on a citywide basis.

CDBG-funded infrastructure and facility improvements are typically undertaken within Low- and Moderate-Income areas with a higher percentage of lower-income residents (see Attachment 3 for a list of the City’s CDBG-eligible areas). Some infrastructure/facility improvement projects may be undertaken outside the low- and moderate-income regions; such projects are typically limited to those that address ADA regulations.

Discussion
CDBG funds will fund programs that serve lower-income Lake Forest residents regardless of where they live in the City. For FY 2023-24, CDBG funds will benefit residents citywide.

Introduction
Although the Consolidated Plan and Action Plan focuses on the community's affordable housing needs, the City's only HUD funding source is CDBG. HUD regulations prohibit the use of CDBG to construct new housing; however, the City will allocate funds to preserve existing housing that is affordable to lower- income homeowners.

Discussion
The City's CDBG-funded affordable housing strategy calls for maintaining affordable housing through housing rehabilitation programs and supporting rental assistance programs like the Housing Choice Voucher (administered by the OCHA). The City anticipates 11 homeowners will participate in the City’s housing rehabilitation program, and 165 Lake Forest renter households will receive rental assistance during FY 2023-24.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
The City recognizes the importance of assisting the homeless and near-homeless with a continuum of care approach that addresses a homeless person’s immediate shelter needs and provides access to transitional and permanent housing, support services, and employment opportunities to break the cycle of homelessness.

Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including:

Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The City collaborates and relies on nonprofit partners to reach out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons). The City will allocate CDBG funds to three agencies to provide services for homeless individuals. Each agency has an outreach component used to engage and assess clients. In addition, the City will consider using local or state funds to support its street outreach and engagement program. Currently, a local nonprofit partners with the OC Sheriff to implement this program.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons In past years, the City used CDBG funds to assist nonprofits in acquiring eight condominium units located in the community to provide transitional housing. For FY 2023-24, no CDBG funds are allocated for emergency or transitional housing.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The Orange County Continuum of Care coordinates a system that incorporates several evidence-based practices, including a Housing First approach that involves moving persons directly from the streets into permanent housing accompanied by home-based supportive services. This approach has been effective with chronically homeless persons and families.

In past years Lake Forest used CDBG and local funding to expand permanent housing opportunities for the formerly homeless. In 2015, the City’s Housing Authority (former redevelopment agency) sold a four-unit apartment to Families Forward. These units provide permanent housing opportunities for Item: 12

lower-income households, including formerly homeless families. The City allocated CDBG funds in FY 2022-23 to support expanding the City’s permanent affordable housing opportunities supply.

For FY 2023-24, CDBG funding is allocated to Families Forward. Families Forward will utilize funds to provide case management and support services to families residing in affordable housing. This program aims to stabilize at-risk families in affordable housing. HUD has also significantly increased the number of rental assistance vouchers for homeless Veterans (i.e., Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing or VASH vouchers). In addition to receiving rental assistance, veterans with a history of severe mental health illness, substance use disorder, or physical disabilities receive case management and appropriate support services from the Department of Veterans Affairs. Currently, 19 VASH vouchers are in place throughout Lake Forest.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs.

For FY 2023-24, the City will allocate CDBG funds to Family Assistance Ministry and South County Outreach for various services to assist the near-homeless and those already homeless. These agencies will also utilize CDBG funds to assist households at risk of eviction or the termination of utilities due to financial hardships. The City will also continue to support regional homeless planning efforts, including the OC CoC’s Discharge Plan, which aims to prevent individuals from leaving institutions such as jails and hospitals from becoming homeless.

Discussion
The programs identified above to address homeless persons' needs indicate that serving the homeless is a complex issue requiring a network of service providers. The City will allocate CDBG resources to support a network of agencies that will address the needs of the community’s homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction
The City’s Consolidated Plan provides detailed information regarding barriers to affordable housing and actions to overcome these barriers. The actions to address these barriers during FY 2023-24 are summarized below.

Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment
Affordable housing development faces several challenges, including construction costs, financing, and development regulations. The 2013–2021 Housing Element notes that the City can encourage and facilitate affordable housing through financial assistance, removal of regulatory constraints, and administrative support. It offers the following actions to promote affordable housing production with limited funding.
• The City will monitor new neighborhood developments for compliance with development agreements that include an Affordable Housing Implementation Plan. • The City will collaborate with affordable housing developers to identify potential sites, write letters of support to help secure governmental and private-sector funding, and offer technical assistance related to applying state density bonus provisions. • The City will work with developers on a case-by-case basis to provide state-mandated regulatory concessions and incentives to develop affordable and senior housing. State-mandated regulatory concessions and incentives could include but are not limited to density bonuses, parking reductions, fee reductions or deferral, expedited permit processing, and modified or waived development standards.
• If available, the City may provide financial subsidies to help reduce development costs in exchange for units reserved for lower-income residents.

Discussion
The Consolidated Plan includes an extensive narrative regarding barriers to affordable housing and actions the City can take to mitigate identified obstacles to affordable housing development. As outlined above, the City provides an expedited development review process for affordable housing projects to reduce holding and overall development costs. The City has little control over market forces such as the cost of land, building materials, and labor. If resources are available, the City may provide gap financing to help reduce overall development costs as an incentive to develop affordable housing.

There are no growth limit initiatives in Lake Forest.

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction
Outlined below are additional actions the City will implement during FY 2023-24 to address the sub- strategies of the Consolidated Plan.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City recognizes that special needs populations face challenges due to low income and unique life conditions. These individuals are often more likely to become homeless due to these factors. Special needs populations often require unique housing and supportive services. The City prioritizes supportive services and housing for special needs populations. In FY 2023-24, the City will fund public service agencies that assist underserved populations such as the homeless, seniors, the disabled, and low- income families with children.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City's strategies related to CDBG-funded affordable housing efforts are focused on maintaining the housing stock through its housing rehabilitation programs, supporting rental assistance programs like the Housing Choice Voucher, and helping to ensure individuals have access to housing free of discrimination due to race, gender, disability, and other personal or household characteristics.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The Residential Lead-Based Paint (LBP) Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 changed the federal strategy for addressing LBP by emphasizing preventing childhood lead poisoning through housing-based approaches.

For example, lead-based paint hazard reduction is an eligible activity in the City’s housing rehabilitation programs.

All application packets for the City’s housing rehabilitation programs include a notice to educate residents about lead's health dangers and encourage screening children for elevated blood-lead levels.

Additionally, housing units are tested for lead-based paint before using federal funds. Housing units identified with lead-based paint hazards are treated, so the lead-based paint is abated per current federal requirements. The use of lead-based paint is prohibited in newly constructed units.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City will leverage limited CDBG funds to address poverty by partnering with nonprofit agencies that assist lower-income households. Specifically, the City will fund programs that provide safety net services such as food banks, financial assistance to prevent eviction, low-cost medical care, and fair housing education/enforcement services.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City of Lake Forest will continue efforts to eliminate institutional gaps and enhance the coordination of programs that serve the community. For example, the City will partner with nonprofit entities to Item: 12

deliver public services. City departments will continue to collaborate to evaluate programs and projects that may be funded in whole or in part with CDBG funds that address priority needs. The City will assist OCHA by participating in the Cities Advisory Committee – a quarterly meeting of cities and OCHA to discuss federal rental housing assistance and regional housing issues. As a supporter of the OC-CoC, the City will provide information for the County’s annual Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance grant application to HUD. The City will also continue to support the development of the County’s Ten-Year Plan to end chronic homelessness and a regional discharge plan.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City will continue participating in regional coordination of services by participating in the Cities Advisory Committee - the quarterly meeting of cities and OCHA to discuss federal rental housing assistance issues. On an annual basis, the City meets with service providers to discuss service needs and ways to improve service to residents. Another example of enhanced coordination is preparing the countywide Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing. The City participated in developing this document, which required significant jurisdictional coordination.

Broadband: According to BroadbandNow.com, Cox Communications is the top broadband service provider in Lake Forest, covering 99.9 percent of the City. AT&T Internet and EarthLink are also available via fiber optic cable to 94.8 percent and 94 percent of Lake Forest properties, respectively. Several additional providers offer satellite or 5-G-based broadband service.

Most broadband service providers in Orange County participate in the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). The ACP was created with the passage of the Infrastructure and Jobs Act of 2021. The purpose of the ACP is to provide eligible households with a $30 discount on monthly broadband internet service.

ACP eligibility is based on household income (200 percent of federal poverty or less) or participation in specific government assistance programs, such as SSI, Medicaid, or WIC. Funding may also be available to provide “discounts” for connective devices such as laptops, desktop computers, or tablets.

Information about the ACP is readily available online; however, many of the City’s nonprofit service providers will inform clients of this program and may also assist clients in applying for benefits.

In November 2022, the City Council approved a nonexclusive franchise agreement with SiFi Networks (SiFi) to build a high-speed internet open access network using direct fiber optic connections to each Lake Forest property. The new fiber optic system will provide residents with an additional choice for high-speed internet service. (The proposed network will provide 10-GB connectivity to homes and 100- GB to businesses and municipal facilities). SiFi also offers low-cost internet options for disadvantaged families.

Additionally, the City will continue encouraging developers and property owners to incorporate broadband infrastructure into all new or substantially rehabilitated housing projects, especially affordable housing projects.

Hazard Mitigation: The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires local governments to prepare a plan to document their hazard mitigation planning process and to identify hazards, potential losses, mitigation needs, goals, and strategies. Each state and local government must have a federally approved mitigation plan to be eligible for hazard mitigation grant funding (e.g., FEMA). The City of Lake Forest recently began the development of a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP). The LMHP will present strategies for reducing the City's vulnerability to the impacts of events that could threaten lives, property, or the environment. This plan and the process of developing it will identify opportunities for the City to become more resilient to hazards and help alleviate risks to our community.

Three Primary Elements of the LHMP:

1. Hazard Identification: Profile potential hazards by type, previous occurrences, and probability.

2. Vulnerability Assessment: Identify the potential impact of the hazards profiled, vulnerability to each hazard, and potential loss to life, environment, and economy.

3. Mitigation Actions: Develop overarching strategies, specific goals, and prioritize those actions to reduce hazard impacts.

Staff anticipates that City Council will adopt the LHMP in Winter 2023.

Discussion
HUD-funded grant recipients are required to not discriminate in housing or services directly or indirectly based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, familial status, or disability. Grant recipients such as Lake Forest are required to: (1) examine and attempt to alleviate housing discrimination within their jurisdiction; (2) promote fair housing choices for all persons; (3) provide opportunities for all persons to reside in any given housing development, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, national origin, and other personal or familial attributes; (4) promote housing that is accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities; (5) and comply with the non-discrimination requirements of the Fair Housing Act. HUD encourages jurisdictions to consult with one another and initiate metropolitan- wide area fair housing planning. The Analysis of Impediments (AI) to Fair Housing Choice is the primary document for this purpose. In addition to identifying impediments, a strategy to overcome barriers must be developed and implemented - accomplishments are reported annually. The City participated in developing the 2020-2024 countywide AI, which the City Council adopted in May 2020. A summary of impediments to fair housing and the action steps the City will take during FY 2023-24 are found in Attachment 4.

CDBG program income received during FY 2023-24 will be allocated to the City’s Housing Rehabilitation Program (Revolving Loan funds). The City does not have surplus funds from urban renewal settlements, nor does the City have grant funds returned to its line of credit. The City will not undertake float-funded activities; therefore, it does not anticipate program income from this type of activity. Finally, the City does not anticipate undertaking urgent need activities during FY 2023-24, nor will it undertake any actions that may result in the involuntary displacement of businesses or residents.

As indicated above, CDBG program income will fund additional housing rehabilitation loans if available.

The City anticipates carrying forward $0 in housing rehabilitation funds for housing activities during FY 2023-24.

To address the contributing factors described above, the AI plan proposes the following goals and actions:

Regional Goals and Strategies."
Goal 1: Increase the supply of affordable housing in high opportunity areas.1 Strategies:

1. Explore the creation of a new countywide source of affordable housing.

2. Using best practices from other jurisdictions, explore policies and programs that increase the supply of affordable housing, such as linkage fees, housing bonds, inclusionary housing, public land set-aside, community land trusts, transit-oriented development, and expedited permitting and review.

3. Explore providing low-interest loans to single-family homeowners and grants to homeowners with household incomes of up to 80% of the Area Median Income to develop accessory dwelling units with affordability restrictions on their property.

4. Review existing zoning policies and explore zoning changes to facilitate the development of affordable housing.

5. Align zoning codes to conform to recent California affordable housing legislation.

Goal 2: Prevent displacement of low- and moderate-income residents with protected characteristics, including Hispanic residents, Vietnamese residents, other seniors, and people with disabilities.

Strategies:

1. Explore piloting a Right to Counsel Program to ensure legal representation for tenants in landlord-tenant proceedings, including those involving the application of new laws like A.B. 1482.

Goal 3: Increase community integration for persons with disabilities.

Strategies:

1. Conduct targeted outreach and provide tenant application assistance and support to persons with disabilities, including individuals transitioning from institutional settings and individuals who are at risk of institutionalization. As part of that assistance, maintain a housing database accessible to persons with disabilities.

2. Consider adopting the accessibility standards adopted by the City of Los Angeles, which require at least 15 percent of all new units in city-supported Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) projects to be ADA- accessible with at least 4 percent of total units to be accessible for persons with hearing and/or vision disabilities.

1 The term “high opportunity areas” generally means locations where there are economic and social factors and amenities that provide a positive impact on a person’s life outcome. This is described in more detail in Section iii, Disparities in Access to Opportunity.

Attachment 4

Item: 12
243

Goal 4: Ensure equal access to housing for persons with protected characteristics, who are disproportionately likely to be lower-income and to experience homelessness.

Strategies:

1. Reduce barriers to accessing rental housing by exploring eliminating application fees for voucher holders and encouraging landlords to follow HUD's guidance on the use of criminal backgrounds in screening tenants.

2. Consider incorporating a fair housing equity analysis into the review of significant rezoning proposals and specific plans.

Goal 5: Expand access to opportunities for protected classes.

Strategies:

1. Explore the voluntary adoption of Small Area Fair Market Rents or exception payment standards in order to increase access to higher opportunity areas for Housing Choice Voucher holders.

2. Continue implementing a mobility counseling program that informs Housing Choice Voucher holders about their residential options in higher opportunity areas and provides holistic support to voucher holders seeking to move to higher opportunity areas.

3. Study and make recommendations to improve and expand Orange County's public transportation to ensure that members of protected classes can access jobs in employment centers in Anaheim, Santa Ana, and Irvine.

4. Increase support for fair housing enforcement, education, and outreach.

CITY OF LAKE FOREST PROPOSED AI GOALS AND STRATEGIES

1. In collaboration with the Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA):
a. Attend quarterly OCHA Housing Advisory Committee to enhance the exchange of information regarding the availability, procedures, and policies related to the Housing Assistance Voucher program and regional housing issues.
b. Support OCHA's affirmative fair marketing plan and de-concentration policies by providing five-year and annual PHA plan certifications.
c. In coordination with OCHA and fair housing services provider, conduct landlord education campaign to educate property owners about State law prohibiting discrimination based on household income.

2. Through the City's fair housing contractor:
a. Provide fair housing education and information to apartment managers and homeowner associations on why denial of reasonable modifications/accommodations is unlawful. b. Conduct multi-faceted fair housing outreach to tenants, landlords, property owners, realtors, and property management companies. Methods of outreach may include workshops, informational booths, presentations to community groups, and the distribution of multi-lingual fair housing literature.
c. Provide general fair housing counseling and referrals services to address tenant-landlord issues, and investigate allegations of fair housing discrimination and take appropriate actions to conciliate cases or refer to appropriate authorities.
d. Periodically monitor local newspapers and online media outlets to identify potentially discriminatory housing advertisements.

2 City of Lake Forest
Community Development Block Grant Program
Summary of FY 2023-2024 Public Service Applications

1) Age Well Senior Services, Inc.

Request: Age Well Senior Services requests $7,500 to support a Care Manager salary for the purpose of providing direct service to Lake Forest residents. Funds would support a Care Manager 12 hours per week to develop and implement individual care plans to meet Lake Forest client needs. The Care Management program averages 19-22 Lake Forest residents annually; CDBG funds would support services for 20 eligible residents. Funds will not be used for direct payments to clients for rental assistance, utilities, etc. Funds will not support administrative or fundraising costs.

Narrative: The Age Well Senior Services, Inc. (Age Well) Care Management program helps seniors live independently in their own homes. Care Managers work with about 20 Lake Forest seniors each year to help them develop and achieve short-term goals. Care Managers coordinate resources and make referrals to community-based services that support these goals. A care plan is developed that may include connecting a senior to health resources, obtaining a walker, making wellness calls, and more. Care Management participants may also be eligible for Age Well programs such as in-home supportive services, home-delivered meals, and medical transportation services that take seniors to their pharmacy or doctor's office. Care Managers meet with clients quarterly, typically in their homes, and follow up between meetings by phone. Lake Forest residents 60 years of age and older are eligible to enroll in the Care Management program. Typical participants are ages 80 and up; live on fixed incomes; suffer from chronic conditions; and do not drive.

2) Alzheimer’s Orange County
Request: Alzheimer’s Orange County requests $5,000 to support the operation of its Adult Day Services for individuals with Alzheimer’s and related dementia. CDBG funds would be used to help pay for rent of the facility where services are being provided. It projects it will serve 23 unduplicated Lake Forest residents.

Narrative: This program provides a secure and supportive environment for adults who need daily supervision and/or medical assistance due to Alzheimer’s disease and other related dementias and disabilities. Adult Day Services also offers caregivers a safe and supportive environment for adults that need daily supervisions and/or medical assistance.

Program participants receive supervised nursing, physical and occupational therapies, healthy meals, personal care assistance, health education and exercise program, and medication management.

Case managers also link program participants and care givers to resources such as family support groups, and education, care consultations, and in-home services. 3) Camino Health Center
Request: Camino Health Center requests $15,000 for rent costs. Camino projects it will provide medical, dental, and behavioral health care to 2,330 unduplicated low-income, underserved and uninsured Lake Forest residents.

Narrative: During Fiscal Year (FY) 2022, Camino Health Center provided services to 2,250 unduplicated low-income, underserved, and uninsured Lake Forest residents. Visits Item: 12
247

3 by Lake Forest residents accounted for 14.3% of all visits at Camino during FY 2022.

Camino Health Center has been dedicated to improving the health status of the low and moderate-income families in South Orange County and continuously increases access to care for Lake Forest residents. To ensure that the underserved residents in Lake Forest have access to these services, Camino has three full-time sites in Lake Forest, San Clemente, and San Juan Capistrano. Having a location in the city of Lake Forest provides easier access for Lake Forest residents to Camino Health Center’s services. All three health centers provide primary medical, family dental, and behavioral health services.

Camino's Lake Forest location also offers optometry services. This clinic operates full-time and is open two Saturdays a month. The Lake Forest health center is equipped with 16 exam rooms, five dental operation-ready rooms, and office space for behavioral health and WIC.

4) Fair Housing Council of Orange County
Request: The Fair Housing Council of Orange County ("FHCOC") requests $7,500 to pay for a variety of services (i.e., administrative, facilities, communications, etc.). It estimates serving 320 unduplicated residents (95 households).

Narrative: Federal funding regulations require that CDBG eligible jurisdictions plan for and undertake actions to affirmatively further fair housing within their jurisdiction. FHCOC services enable Lake Forest to meet that requirement. FHCOC provides fair housing enforcement, education, and outreach services. FHCOC responds to as many Lake Forest housing discrimination allegations as presented. It also provides professional services that address other housing-related matters, including general housing law violations. It facilitates the opportunity for landlords and tenants to correct wrongful housing policies or behavior. During the next program year, FHCOC projects four current or potential Lake Forest households contacts to make allegations of housing discrimination, and that one of those allegations will be sufficiently meritorious to result in opening a client case file.

Perhaps another 10 households will contact FHCOC with concerns or questions about housing discrimination.

In FY 2021-2022, Fair Housing assisted 271 Lake Forest unduplicated residents. Since the level of service delivery depends on clients initiating contact, the demand for services is, in part, related to its ability to conduct outreach in the community.

5) Families Forward
Request: Families Forward requests $25,000 to fund program staff salaries and benefits.

It projects it would support 23 Lake Forest residents through its Housing Program.

Narrative: Families Forward has nearly 40 years of experience helping low-income and homeless Orange County families in crisis to regain financial stability and self-sufficiency.

Families Forward has grown in response to community needs and has a variety of housing options for families throughout the County. Families Forward’s Housing Program anticipates serving 305 families in the current fiscal year (countywide). In addition to housing services, Families Forward provides an extensive network of resources to help families in financial crisis.

In Lake Forest, Families Forward is proposing to continue providing our Affordable Housing Program to end homelessness and safely house approximately seven extremely low- and Item: 12
248

4 low-income families, helping them rebuild their lives and regain financial stability. Families Forward Affordable Housing Program is designed to help families recently faced with a crisis that left them literally homeless. Families Forward helps these families get back on their feet by providing affordable housing, counseling, career coaching, life-skills training, financial literacy education, food assistance, prevention & diversion services, and referral services. A trained and subject matter expert Families Forward team member is attached to each family to partner in their plan for achieving self-sufficiency, financial accountability, and housing stability. Families Forward also assist with lease agreements, landlord-tenant relationships, and other barriers to long-term housing options. Families Forward owns or is in partnership with 92 affordable housing units with plans to exceed 100 units by the end of 2023, with (14) Families Forward owned and partnered affordable housing units in Lake Forest.

In FY 2021-22, Families Forward assisted 21 Lake Forest families (78 individuals) in finding housing, provided 9 Lake Forest families (32 individuals) with prevention services, and provided 254 (980) unduplicated families in the City of Lake Forest with access to food through our food pantry. During our recently completed 2022 Fiscal Year, we successfully prevented or ended homelessness for 679 families across Orange County (2,354 children and their parents) and provided services to over 12,045 individuals. During the same time, Families Forward provided 30,525 meals to Orange County residents in need through our food pantry. Additionally, through our seasonal programs in 2022, 1,272 children received new school supplies, 983 families were provided with the fixings to make a Thanksgiving meal, and through our 2022 Adopt a Family program, we served 968 families and 2,601 children.

6) Family Assistance Ministry
Request: Family Assistance Ministry requests $10,000 to support low-to-moderate income Lake Forest residents who are homeless or at immediate risk of homelessness. $8,000 would subsidize direct financial assistance, including rental assistance and utility payments, in their Lake Forest housing program. $2,000 would support staffing costs for case managers. It projects it would provide services to 1,000 unduplicated low- to moderate-income Lake Forest residents.

Narrative: FAM's Housing Continuum offers services to Lake Forest residents who are unhoused or at risk of becoming housed. Clients are matched to "best-fit" housing services depending on individual or family circumstances. FAM offers nutritious food options, which are always a component of financial stabilization. This allows case managers to counsel residents to spend their money on rent and utilities rather than on food. FAM also provides financial counseling and rental assistance to those not yet unhoused but at risk of eviction because of non-payment. Client need is verified and paid directly to landlords and/or service providers. Case managers help coach residents as they move from dependency to self-reliance.

FAM helps those who are already unhoused with several services options. Diversion through the Homeward Bound program is the first option because it reconnects clients back to a support network (family or friends) nationwide. FAM's Gilchrist House interim/transitional shelter services single unhoused women and women with children.

FAMily House, the only emergency shelter in south Orange County for unhoused families with children, serves single-parent households, dual-parent households and pregnant women. The vulnerability index determines placement for other clients. Additionally, clients Item: 12
249

5 may be assisted through Rapid Rehousing (RRH), providing partial security deposits or rental assistance reduced over three months to ensure housing stability.

FAM has provided crisis and homeless prevention services to residents of south Orange County since 1999. In 2022, FAM had 1,453 encounters helping to ensure housing stability to 312 Lake Forest residents. These residents received over 600 case management hours resulting in $55,880 in financial assistance, including rental assistance of $49,481 provided for 30 residents and $2,818 in utility assistance provided for 8 residents.

Last year FAM served 1,025 Lake Forest residents in need with 4,200 encounters with people who were hungry, homeless, or at-risk of becoming homeless. 193 Lake Forest residents were provided 247 hours of case management resulting in $615 in transportation assistance, $1,751 in utility assistance, and $42,996 in rental assistance. FAM help clients create a workable solution to their particular challenges. Homeless Prevention has always been at the cornerstone of what FAM offers. Rental assistance with a financial plan means a family, a senior, or individual will avoid eviction. Since 2003, FAM’s Gilchrist House has provided safe shelter to homeless women and children. FAMily House emergency shelter for families with children opened in March of 2017 and is the only emergency family shelter in south Orange County.

All of FAM's clients are moderate-to-low income, economically insecure, and/or at risk of experiencing hunger and loss of housing in Orange County. Of the over 30,000 clients served in our last fiscal year, 6% were already unhoused and the other 94% were at risk of losing their home. FAM serves people regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, marital or military status, or religious affiliation. Furthermore, families with children make up a significant percentage of our clients; 45% of those we serve are children and another 15% are seniors.

7) South County Outreach
Request: South County Outreach requests $25,000 to support our food pantry efforts for Lake Forest residents experiencing or facing food insecurity. Funding would go toward facility costs and staff required. It projects it would assist 1,400 unduplicated Lake Forest residents with this funding.

Narrative: South County Outreach ("SCO") has provided emergency services - preventing hunger and homelessness - to south Orange County residents, including those from the City of Lake Forest, since 1989. With support from the City of Lake Forest, SCO has been able to maintain its existing operating infrastructure and provide an array of safety-net services, including free food from the Food Pantry and homeless prevention services in the form of rental and utility payments. Continued support will ensure increased availability of SCO staff to provide more services to low-income Lake Forest residents at risk of homelessness and food scarcity, including families with children, single-parent households, veterans, the disabled, seniors living on a fixed income, and those who are homeless, unemployed, or underemployed.

SCO's offices and primary food pantry hub are located in the City of Irvine at 7 Whatney, Suite B (just off Bake Pkwy. and Rockfield Blvd.), which is easily accessible from the 5 and 405 freeways. Prior to the pandemic, SCO was serving approximately 25 households per day, with a staff of nine, and a large volunteer base. Now, given the staggering increase in clients returning for services monthly, and the decrease in volunteer availability, SCO Item: 12
250

6 operates with a team of 21 paid staff, assisting upwards of 100 households per day in the food pantry, alone. SCO also has doubled the number of households it provides rental and utility assistance to over the past two years.

Funding from the City of Lake Forest will make it possible for the agency to meet the rapidly increasing needs of its residents. SCO has successfully administered government and/or public funding for more than 20 years.

8) Vocational Visions
Request: Vocational Visions requests $5,000 for their program which enhances the community by developing the talents of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Funds would be used to support the job developer position salary. The job developer creates opportunities for persons served in the Pathways to Employment programs: Adult Development Program, Day Training and Activity Center Pala, and Supported Employment.

Narrative: Vocational Visions ("VV") creates pathways to employment, social inclusion, and life-long learning. VV projects it would assist 27 unduplicated Lake Forest residents with the requested funding.

Vocational Visions enhances our community by developing the talents of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Since 1974, VV has created pathways to employment, life-long learning and social inclusion. In 2022, the Committee for Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF International) renewed the Vocational Visions accreditation for employment and day programs. Job placements via VV's Pathways to Employment program include positions with public parks, grocery stores, retail stores, hardware stores, restaurants, hotels, schools, libraries and more across South Orange County. VV is licensed by the Community Care Licensing division of the Department of Social Services and receives referrals from the Department of Rehabilitation and Regional Center of Orange County. VV provides services from both of their Mission Viejo-based facilities and throughout South Orange County.

Adults 18 years or older with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are the target population for VV. Intellectual and developmental disabilities include autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, epilepsy, and other IDD challenges. Adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) encounter multiple barriers to obtaining employment, including communication issues, transportation logistics, the physical environment of a job location, and attitudinal difficulties.

ZONING CODE AMENDMENT 03-23-5611, A CITY-INITIATED ZONING CODE AMENDMENT TO ADD CHAPTER 9.151 OF THE LAKE FOREST MUNICIPAL

CODE TO ESTABLISH REGULATIONS FOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS ON SITES IDENTIFIED IN THE CITY’S HOUSING ELEMENT SITES INVENTORY RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
1) Find that Zoning Code Amendment 03-23-5611 is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)1 and 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines; and 2) Introduce First Reading of an Ordinance entitled: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF LAKE FOREST, CALIFORNIA, ADDING CHAPTER 9.151

TO THE LAKE FOREST MUNICIPAL CODE TO ESTABLISH

REGULATIONS FOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS ON SITES
IDENTIFIED IN THE CITY’S HOUSING ELEMENT SITES INVENTORY

AND FINDING THE ACTION TO BE EXEMPT FROM CEQA UNDER
STATE CEQA GUIDELINES SECTIONS 15060(c)(1) AND 15061(b)(3) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Zoning Code Amendment 03-23-5611 (ZC 03-23-5611) is a City-initiated Zoning Code Amendment to add Chapter 9.151 to the Lake Forest Municipal Code to establish regulations for housing developments on sites identified in Table B of the City’s Housing Element Site Inventory. State law (Government Code Section 65583.2 subdivisions (h) and (i)) includes restrictions and incentives for the production of housing and the inclusion of affordable housing on the sites listed on Table B of the City’s Site Inventory. Although the City is already required to meet these provisions in State law, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) provided comments requiring the City to revise Housing Element Program 1 to explicitly include these provisions in the City’s Zoning Code. The attached ordinance restates the State law in implementation of the City’s Housing Element Program 1 (Attachment 1). The Planning Commission reviewed this ordinance and recommended the City Council approve the ordinance (Attachment 2). A copy of the City’s Housing Element Site Inventory is provided as Attachment 3 and an excerpt of the City’s adopted Housing Element is provided as Attachment 4.

Item: 13

BACKGROUND:

The Housing Element is a section of the City’s General Plan that addresses housing needs and conditions within Lake Forest. It identifies goals, policies, and programs the City uses to guide actions related to housing. The City Council adopted the 2021-2029 (6th cycle) Housing Element originally on January 4, 2022. Based on comments from HCD, the 6th cycle Housing Element was updated and subsequently adopted by the City Council on August 16, 2022 and January 3, 2023. HCD certified the 2021-2029 Housing Element on February 24, 2023.

The Housing Element includes Appendix A: Housing Site Inventory (Attachment 2), which is required by state law. The inventory provides a table of land suitable for residential development, including vacant sites and sites having the potential for redevelopment. The City’s Site Inventory is organized into two tables. Table A includes two residentially zoned properties that are being underutilized and Table B includes 73 sites that were part of the recently approved Zone Change 03-22- 5511, which converted a total of 267 parcels into 5 different Mixed-Use Zones.

The sites inventory does not approve any project or guarantee what will be built on the site. Actual housing development is implemented by the development community and will largely depend on market factors that are outside of the City’s control.

DISCUSSION:

State law (Government Code Section 65583.2 subdivisions (h) and (i)) includes restrictions and incentives for the production of housing and the inclusion of affordable housing on the sites listed on Table B of the City’s Site Inventory.

Although the City is already required to meet these provisions in State Law, HCD provided comments requiring the City to revise Housing Program 1 (Land Use Policy, Entitlements, and Development Capacity (Shortfall Program)) (Attachment 3) to explicitly include these provisions in the City’s Zoning Code. As such, the revised Housing Program 1 stipulates that the City will approve a Zoning Code Amendment to ensure that the rezoned sites identified in the Housing Sites Inventory (Table B) are consistent with the requirements of State law. The Housing Program includes a deadline of May 2023 to complete the Zoning Code Amendment.

In accordance with Housing Program 1 and State law, staff has prepared an ordinance (Attachment 1-Exhibit A) that includes the following requirements for the rezone sites listed in Table B of the Housing Sites Inventory:

Item: 13
255

2 5
7 3

1. The site shall permit at least 16 units;

2. The minimum residential density is 20 dwelling units per net acre;

3. Residential uses must occupy at least 50 percent of the total gross floor area of a mixed-use development;

4. Owner-occupied and rental multifamily residential uses are permitted by right and do not require a discretionary review or approval for residential developments in which 20 percent or more of the units are affordable to low or very-low income households (income and affordability levels set forth in Sections 50079.5, 50093, and 50105 of the Health and Safety Code shall apply); and

5. An applicant for a project under this Section may apply for a density bonus in accordance with Government Code Section 65915 and Zoning Code Chapter 9.152.”
The Planning Commission reviewed the draft Ordinance at a public hearing on April 6, 2023. The Commission adopted a resolution recommending approval of the Ordinance by the City Council (Attachment 2).

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission find that Zoning Code Amendment 03-23-5611 (the Amendment) is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) for several separate and independent reasons. First, approval of the Amendment is not subject to CEQA because it does not constitute a discretionary project subject to CEQA. To the contrary, Government Code section 65583.2, subdivisions (h) and (i) requires the City to comply with specific regulations applicable to housing developments on sites identified in the City’s Housing Element Sites Inventory (Appendix A of the Housing Element), and the Amendment merely codifies this requirement in its Zoning Code. The City lacks discretion to deviate from the terms set forth in Government Code section 65583.2, subdivisions (h) and (i) as set forth in the Amendment, and the approval of the Amendment is thus not subject to CEQA. (See State CEQA Guidelines, § 15060(c)(1) [activity that does not involve exercise of discretionary power by a public agency not subject to CEQA]).

Second, approval of the Amendment is exempt from CEQA under State CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), which exempts projects from CEQA where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. Here, there is no possibility that the Amendment may have a significant effect on the environment because it merely Item: 13
256

2 5
7 3
amends the Zoning Code to be consistent with Government Code section 65583.2, subdivisions (h) and (i), which is already binding on the City.

PUBLIC NOTICING:

In accordance with the requirements of Section 9.184.040(C)(2) of the Municipal Code of the City of Lake Forest, this project has been noticed in a newspaper of general circulation on April 20, 2023. In addition, on April 20, 2023, the public notice was posted at City Hall.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact related to the recommended actions.

2 WHEREAS, on April 20, 2023, the City gave public notice of the public hearing for Zoning Code Amendment 03-23-5611 by publishing the required notice in a newspaper of general circulation and posting the notice at City Hall; and WHEREAS, on April 26, 2023, the City Clerk made the ordinance and all relevant documents available for public inspection in the City Clerk’s office, at least five days before the scheduled City Council public-hearing date in accordance with Section 9.196.020 of the LFMC; and
WHEREAS, on May 2, 2023, the City Council held a noticed public hearing and considered the staff report, recommendations by staff, and public testimony concerning Zoning Code Amendment 03-23-5611; and
WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this ordinance have occurred.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE
FOREST, CALIFORNIA DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Incorporation of Recitals. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the Recitals above are true and correct and incorporated herein.

SECTION 2.CEQA. The City Council finds that Zoning Code Amendment 03-23-5611 (the Amendment) is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for several separate and independent reasons.

First, approval of the Amendment is not subject to CEQA because it does not constitute a discretionary project subject to CEQA. To the contrary, Government Code section 65583.2, subdivisions (h) and (i) requires the City to comply with specific regulations applicable to housing developments on sites identified in the City’s Housing Element Sites Inventory (Appendix A of the Housing Element), and the Amendment merely codifies this requirement in its Zoning Code. The City lacks discretion to deviate from the terms set forth in Government Code section 65583.2, subdivisions (h) and (i) as set forth in the Amendment, and the approval of the Amendment is thus not subject to CEQA. (See State CEQA Guidelines, § 15060(c)(1) [activity that does not involve exercise of discretionary power by a public agency not subject to CEQA].) Second, approval of the Amendment is exempt from CEQA under State CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), which exempts projects from CEQA where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. Here, there is no possibility that the Amendment may have a significant effect on the environment because it merely amends the Zoning Code to be consistent with Government Code section 65583.2, subdivisions (h) and (i), Item: 13
260

3 which is already binding on the City.

SECTION 3. General Plan. Based on the entire record before the City Council, and all written and oral evidence presented, the City Council hereby finds and determines that Zoning Code Amendment 03-23-5611 is consistent with the City’s adopted General Plan. The purpose of this ordinance is to ensure that the City’s code expressly reflects statutory requirements that are intended to incentivize multifamily residential development and encourage affordable housing.

The City’s adopted 2021-2029 (6 th cycle) Housing Element Goal 1 encourages adequate housing to meet the existing and future needs of Lake Forest residents.

The policies associated with this goal promote residential development to accommodate the City’s unmet Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation and encourage affordable housing. Furthermore, Program 1 of the Housing Element (Land Use Policy, Entitlements, and Development Capacity (Shortfall Program)) specifically requires the City to adopt a Zoning Code Amendment to ensure that any site listed in Table B of the Housing Element Sites Inventory are subject to the applicable regulations of Government Code Section 65583.2 subdivisions (h) and (i). This ordinance is the zoning code amendment referred to in Program 1.

SECTION 4. Definition. The following definitions are hereby added to Section 9.04.030 of Title 9 of the Lake Forest Municipal Code to read as follows:
“Housing Element Sites Inventory: The list of Lake Forest sites in Tables A and B in Appendix A of the adopted City of Lake Forest’s 2021-2029 Housing Element.”
Rezone Sites: Sites identified in Table B of the Housing Element Sites Inventory. These sites were identified by the City to be re-zoned to allow residential uses to accommodate its remaining RHNA.

SECTION 5. New Chapter 9.151. Chapter 9.151 is hereby added to Title 9 of the Lake Forest Municipal Code and shall read in its entirety as follows:
“Chapter 9.151 Housing Element Sites Inventory Regulations

9.151.010 Purpose

The purpose of Chapter 9.151 is to codify in the City’s municipal code the statutory requirements found in California Government Code section 65583.2 that apply to rezone sites identified in Table B of the City of Lake Forest’s Housing Element Sites Inventory. The Housing Element Item: 13
261

B. Applicability. This chapter applies to residential development on a rezone site.

C. Relationship to Other Regulations. Residential development on a rezone site must also comply with applicable Zoning Code requirements, including but not limited to applicable development standards and objective design standards. Where there is a conflict between the requirements in the Zoning Code and this chapter, the provisions of this chapter apply.

4. Owner-occupied and rental multifamily residential uses are permitted by right and do not require a discretionary review or approval for residential developments in which 20 percent or more of the units are affordable to low or very-low income households (income and affordability levels set forth in Sections 50079.5, 50093, and 50105 of the Health and Safety Code shall apply); and

5. An applicant for a project under this Section may apply for a density bonus in accordance with Government Code Section 65915 and Zoning Code Chapter 9.152.”
SECTION 6. Effective Date. This ordinance takes effect 30 days following its adoption.

SECTION 7.Severability. If any provision of this ordinance or its application to any person or circumstance is held to be invalid, such invalidity has no effect on the other provisions or applications of the ordinance that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this extent, the provisions of this ordinance are severable. The City Council declares that it would have adopted this ordinance irrespective of the invalidity of any portion thereof.

SECTION 8.Certification. The City Clerk is directed to certify to the adoption of this ordinance and cause it, or a summary of it, to be published once Item: 13
262

5 within 15 days of adoption in a newspaper of general circulation available within the City of Lake Forest, and to post a certified copy of this ordinance, including the vote for and against the same, in the office of the City Clerk in accordance with California Government Code section 36933.

City of Lake Forest GENERAL PLAN │ Adopted Housing Element Housing Plan │ Page 7

3 Cycle 6 Housing Element Programs
Lake Forest offers a variety of housing opportunities to meet the needs of the community and comply with state Housing Law. This section of the Housing Plan addresses the issues identified in the previous sections of the Element and provides a strategy to achieve the City’s housing goals. The housing programs designed to implement the City’s strategy are discussed in detail below.

The City has considered each program as it relates to affirmatively furthering fair housing. In addition to identifying the responsible agencies, funding sources, objectives, and timeframes for each program, the City has also identified the fair housing issue(s) and contributing factor(s) addressed by each program. For further information regarding fair housing issues and contributing factors in Lake Forest, see Section 6 of the Background Report.

PROVISION OF ADEQUATE HOUSING SITES TO ACHIEVE A VARIETY OF HOUSING TYPES AND

DENSITIES
A key element in satisfying the housing needs of all segments of the community is the provision of adequate sites for housing. This is an important function of both the General Plan and zoning.

Program 1: Land Use Policy, Entitlements, and Development Capacity (Shortfall Program) Planning and regulatory actions to achieve adequate housing sites are implemented through the Land Use Element, Zoning Code, and, in some instances, d evelopment agreements. These regulatory documents provide for a variety of residential development, ranging from lower- density single-family homes to higher - density apartments, condominiums, and mixed-use projects.

The City of Lake Forest received a RHNA allocation of 3,236 units for the 2021- 2029 RHNA period. After credits for constructed units (461) and approved/entitled units (976) are taken into consideration, the City of Lake Forest has a remaining 2021-2029 RHNA of 1,847 units, including 848 extremely/very low-income, 447 low-income, and 552 moderate-income units.

While the City adopted its new General Plan in 2020 which establishes new mixed-use focus areas which designate sufficient sites to accommodate the City’s remaining RHNA, and, as of the beginning of the planning period (October 15, 2021), the City had not yet adopted new zoning standards to implement the land use designations. Without the zoning in place at the beginning of the planning period, the City found that it currently has a shortfall of sites to accommodate its remaining RHNA and must commit to a program to rezone sufficient sites to accommodate its RHNA for all income levels.

In August 2022, the City completed the rezoning for all sites identified in Appendix A (Site Inventory) in accordance with the acreages, densities, and unit capacities identified therein. The new Zoning Map is available online and in person in accordance with transparency requirements.

By May 2023, the City will complete a Zoning Amendment, consistent with Government Code Section 65583, subdivision (c)(1) and 65583.2 subdivisions (h) and (i), to specifically require that sites rezoned to Item: 13
279

City of Lake Forest GENERAL PLAN │ Adopted Housing Element Housing Plan │ Page 8

accommodate a portion of the City’s RHNA:

1. Permit owner-occupied and rental multifamily uses by right and not require a conditional use permit or other discretionary review or approval for developments in which 20 percent or more of the units are affordable to lower income households.

2. Permit the development of at least 16 units per site and a minimum of 20 dwelling units per acre;

3. For sites designated for mixed-use, allow 100 percent residential use and require that residential use occupy 50 percent of the total floor area of a mixed-use project;

4. Ensure sites will be available for development during the planning period where water and sewer can be provided.

In the interim, the City shall fully implement all of the requirements of Government Code Section 65583, subdivision (c)(1) and 65583.2 subdivisions (h) and (i) for sites rezoned to accommodate a portion of the City’s RHNA and the City shall allow projects according to the proposed zoning identified in the sites inventory and not require applicants of proje cts at these sites to complete zoning or other amendments in order to implement the provisions of Government Code Section 65583, subdivision (c)(1) and 65583.2 subdivisions (h) and (i).

The residential sites inventory consists of approximately 159 acres of land designated in mixed- use areas which allow for residential development at densities greater than 30 du/ac, with the potential to yield at least 2,965 new units. These sites are located in areas adjacent to major transportation facilities and activity centers; the co-location of attainable/affordable housing choices near transportation facilities and goods and services will improve access to opportunity for all persons, especially lower income households and persons with special needs, including persons with disabilities.

The City has also identified 34.55 acres of underdeveloped residential uses (two sites) that could yield an additional 382 units affordable to moderate and above moderate income households. Also construction of new accessory dwelling units (ADUs) will also add to the City’s housing stock. Together, these resources have the capacity to accommodate at least 3,378 new units affordable to all income levels. These sites can accommodate the City’s remaining RHNA allocation for all income levels through year 2029. The City will maintain an inventory of sites with residential development potential and provide it to prospective residential developers upon request.

Responsible Agencies: Community Development Department
Funding Sources: General Fund
2021-2029 Objectives: Maintain and monitor the residential sites inventory to ensure sufficient sites remain to accommodate the RHNA allocation throughout the RHNA period. Receive and process development applications for residential projects. Rezone all sites identified in Appendix A consistent with the densities, acreages, and capacity levels identified in Appendix A.

Item: 13
280

City of Lake Forest GENERAL PLAN │ Adopted Housing Element Housing Plan │ Page 9

Complete all rezoning pursuant to Government Code section 65583.2, subdivisions (h) and (i).

Timeframe: Complete all necessary rezoning by October 15, 2022; complete a Zoning Amendment by May 2023 to rezone sites identified in Appendix A consistent with the requirements of Government Code section 65583.2, subdivisions (h) and (i) and in the interim, fully adhere to the requirements of Government Code section 65583.2, subdivisions (h) and (i); annual monitoring and reporting throughout the planning period.

Fair Housing Issues
Addressed:

Segregation and Integration; Disparities in Access to Opportunity; Racially and Ethnically Concentrated Areas of Poverty/Affluence; Disparities in Access to Opportunity for Persons with Disabilities; Disproportionate Housing Needs, including Displacement Risks; Site Inventory Contributing Factors
Addressed:

Community Opposition; Lack of Community Revitalization Strategies; Lack of Private Investment in Specific Neighborhoods; Land Use and Zoning Laws; Location and Type of Affordable Housing; Impediments to Mobility; Lack of Opportunity Due to High Housing Costs; Access to Transportation for Persons with Disabilities; Availability of Affordable Units in a Range of Sizes; Location of Employers

Program 2: Monitor Residential Capacity (No Net Loss)
The City will monitor the depletion of residential acreage, and review proposed General Plan amendments, Zone Changes, and development projects, to ensure an adequate inventory is available to meet the City’s 2021-2029 RHNA obligations. To ensure sufficient residential development capacity is maintained to accommodate the City’s RHNA allocation, the City will develop and implement a formal ongoing (project-by- project) evaluation procedure pursuant to Government Code Section 65863 and will make the findings required by that code section if a site is proposed for development with fewer units or at a different income level(s) than shown in the Housing Element Site Inventory. Should an approval of development result in a reduction of residential development capacity below the capacity needed to accommodate the remaining need for lower-income, moderate-income, or above-moderate-income households, the City, and potentially the applicant (in accordance with State law), will identify and, if necessary, rezone sufficient sites within 180 days to accommodate the shortfall and ensure “no net loss” in capacity to accommodate the RHNA allocation, consistent with State law. Any rezoned site(s) will satisfy the adequate site requirements of Government Code Section 65583.2 and will be consistent with the City’s obligation to affirmatively further fair housing.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 5/2/2023
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
SUBJECT:

LEGISLATIVE MATTERS
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Receive a report from staff and authorize the Mayor to sign the letter of support for California Assembly Bill 1270
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

As part of the 2011 Budget Act (“the Act”), the State of California (“State”) dissolved all redevelopment agencies effective February 1, 2012. The Act also established procedures for “winding down” redevelopment agencies across the state, as many agencies had financial obligations that extended beyond the effective dissolution date. When all financial obligations, litigation, and property related to a redevelopment agency have been completed or disposed of, the agency is required to submit a notice to the State requesting formal dissolution.

Existing law requires the County of Orange (“the County”) to allocate property tax revenues related to the El Toro Project Area (a former redevelopment site) to the Orange County Redevelopment Agency (managed by the County) and the Lake Forest Redevelopment Agency (managed by the City of Lake Forest). The County is prepared to dissolve their administrative obligations related to the El Toro Project Area site, as their financial, legal, and property disposal obligations have been met. However, the City still requires the County to collect and remit property tax to the Lake Forest Redevelopment Agency, as the City’s still has outstanding obligations related to the El Toro Project Area site.

Assembly Bill 1270 would enable the County to still collect revenue and remit collections to the Lake Forest Redevelopment Agency, which would allow the Lake Forest Redevelopment Agency to meet its obligations related to the El Toro Project Area site. A full text of the bill is provided as Attachment 1. The bill was introduced by Assemblymember Diane Dixon. Absent passage of AB 1270, the Lake Forest Redevelopment Agency would not be able to meet its obligations to the El Toro Project Area site. AB 1270 received support from the Orange County Board of Supervisor’s at its March 14, 2023, meeting. AB 1270 is an active bill and is in the committee review process. On April 26, 2023, the State Assembly Local Government Committee approved the bill.

Item: 15
301

Staff recommends the City Council support the passage of AB 1270 and document its advocacy by authorizing the Mayor to sign the attached letter of support (Attachment 2). The letter of support will be submitted to AB 1270’s proponents and the committees set to review the bill next.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

ASSEMBLY BILL No. 1270
Introduced by Assembly Member Dixon
February 16, 2023
An act to amend Section 34182.1 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to redevelopment.
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 1270, as amended, Dixon. Redevelopment: successor agenc y:

City of Lake Forest.

Existing la w dissolv ed rede velopment agencies and community development agencies as of February 1, 2012, and pro vides for the designation of successor agencies to, among other things, wind do wn the affairs of the dissolved redevelopment agencies and make payments due for enforceable oblig ations. In that re gard, existing law requires the county auditor -controller to create within the county treasury a Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (Fund) for the property tax revenues related to each former redevelopment agency for administration by the county auditor-controller.

Existing law requires the Orange County Auditor Controller to allocate property tax revenues attributable to the El Toro Project Area between the Fund established for the former Orange County De velopment Agency and the Fund established for the former Lak e F orest Redevelopment Agency, as pro vided, to implement a specified agreement that transferred territorial jurisdiction of the El Toro Project

Area from the Orange County Rede velopment Agency to the Lak e Forest Redevelopment Agency.

This bill would instead require the Orange County Auditor Controller Controller, upon r eceipt of the final r esolution of dissolution for the successor agency to the former Or ange County Development Agency, to allocate property tax revenues attributable to the El Toro Project Area to the Fund established for the former Lak e F orest Rede velopment Agency. By revising the duties of local go vernment officials, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

Existing law g enerally r equires a successor a gency to submit a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule to certain entities, including the Department of Finance, and requires the successor agency to make payments pursuant to that schedule. When all enforceable obligations have been retired or paid of f, all real property has been disposed of , and all outstanding litigation has been resolved, existing law requires the successor a gency to submit a r equest to formally dissolve to its oversight board, which is required to approve the request and submit it to the department for approval, as specified.

Under this bill, the allocation of revenues into the Fund established for the former Lak e Forest Rede velopment Agency pur suant to the transfer agreement and the listing of those payments by the successor agency to the Orange County Development Agency on its Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule would not pr eclude the appr oval of a request for dissolution of the successor a gency to the Orange County Development Agency.

This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the City of Lake Forest.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimb urse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.

Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

RE: AB 1270 (Dixon) Redevelopment: Successor Agency: City of Lake Forest Notice of SUPPORT (As Introduced 2/16/23)
Dear Assemblywoman Dixon,
The City of Lake Forest is pleased to support AB 1270 (Dixon), which would amend HSC Section 34182.1 to allow the Lake Forest Successor Agency to receive redevelopment property tax revenues directly from the County Auditor-Controller and enable the County’s Successor Agency to dissolve as planned in September 2023.

Specifically, this measure would require the Orange County Auditor to allocate property tax revenues attributable to the El Toro Project Area between the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF) established for the former Orange County Development Agency and the Redevelopment Property Tax Fund established for the former Lake Forest Redevelopment Agency (RDA), as specified, until a final resolution of dissolution for the successor agency to the former Orange County Development Agency has been submitted to the Orange County Auditor- Controller.

Upon receipt of the final resolution of dissolution for the successor agency to the former Orange County Development Agency submitted pursuant to existing law, the Orange County Auditor Controller shall allocate property tax revenues attributable to the El Toro Project Area to the RPTTF for the former Lake Forest RDA and allocate money in this fund. The allocation of revenues into the RPTTF established for the former Lake Forest RDA pursuant to the transfer agreement and the listing of those payments by the successor agency to the Orange County Development Agency on its Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) shall not preclude the approval of a request for dissolution of the successor agency to the Orange County Development Agency
Prior to the incorporation of the City of Lake Forest, the El Toro Redevelopment Project Area was under the jurisdictional control of the County of Orange. When the City of Lake Forest established the Lake Forest RDA and control over the Project Area was subsequently Mayor

transferred to Lake Forest, the City, County and Agency entered into a Transfer Agreement.

The purpose of the Transfer Agreement was to allow the transfer of tax increment from the Project Area to the Lake Forest RDA and ensure the protection of the County's pre-existing bond obligations. With the County’s successor agency retiring its debt in September of 2023, and no longer being eligible to receive redevelopment property tax dollars, this calls into question the City’s ability to still receive said funds, as approved by the State Department of Finance. AB 1270 will allow the Lake Forest successor agency to receive redevelopment property tax revenues directly from the County Auditor-Controller; like other successor agencies.

This legislative fix will reduce administrative costs for the County of Orange, wind down a successor agency, and ensure the City of Lake Forest continues to receive property tax dollars.

For these reasons, the City of Lake Forest supports AB 1270 (Dixon).

Sincerely,
Doug Cirbo
Mayor
City of Lake Forest
