STAFF REPORT
RE: 2023 Housing Element Annual Progress Report MEETING DATE: 3/19/2024 SUBMITTED BY: Victor Fernandez, Associate Planner
PURPOSE OF REPORT:  Information only  Discussion  Action Item WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/BOARD:

Pursuant to State Law, the City of Lakeport prepared an Annual Progress Report (APR) on housing production and the implementation of housing related programs and policies contained in the Sixth Cycle Housing Element(2019-2027), which was adopted by City Council on July 7, 2020. This is an information-only item for City Council to review and file.

Additionally, a presentation of this report was made to the Lakeport Planning Commission on March 13, 2024.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Since 1969, California has required that all local governments (Cities and Counties) adequately plan to meet the housing needs of everyone in the community. California’s local governments meet this requirement by adopting housing plans (aka housing elements) as part of their General Plan (also required by the state).

General plans serve as the local government’s blueprint for how the city and/or county will grow and develop and include seven elements: land use, transportation, conservation, noise, open space, safety, and housing.

Additionally, every city and county in the state of California is required to submit an annual progress report (APR) on the jurisdiction’s progress in implementing the housing element of its general plan. The report must be submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research on or before April 1 of each year, using the forms and definitions adopted by HCD. The 2023 APR consists of a spreadsheet template created by HCD to capture housing activity and the City of Lakeport’s progress. The APR report includes the following tables:
• Annual building activity reports for new housing units; • Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) progress;
• Sites identified or rezoned to accommodate shortfall housing need and no net loss law; • Housing Element program implementation status;
• Commercial development bonus approved;
• Units rehabilitated, preserved and acquired for alternative adequate sites; • Above moderate-income units converted to moderate income; • Locally owned lands included in the Housing Element Sites inventory that have been sold, leased, or otherwise disposed of;
• Locally owned Surplus Sites;
• Student housing developed for lower income students for which a density bonus was granted; Meeting Date: 03/19/2024 Page 2 Agenda Item # IV.C.

The table below summarizes data from previous reporting years. Please note (*) that the 2020 data for 48 units is currently being amended. These units belong to Martin Street Phase II, and their income level information was initially unavailable in the 2020 report. However, we have since categorized them according to their specific income levels:
• 34 units: Very Low Income
• 13 units: Low Income
• 1 unit: Above Moderate Income (Manager's Unit)
Please be advised that the unit breakdown discussed above is not reflected in the table below or in the annual progress report excel sheet. Official approval from the California Department of Housing and Community Development is required for these amendments to be reflected in the data. The revised data will be incorporated in the upcoming 2024 reporting year.

The table below outlines the allocation goals and progress for the 2023 reporting year. It is important to note that the 2020 reporting year has also been amended. An updated RHNA table, reflecting the new revisions, has been included as an attachment for your reference.

Chapter 17.39 of the City's Zoning Ordinance provides for density bonuses and development standard reductions (parking, setbacks, lot coverage, etc.) to qualifying development proposals including low income, senior and other special needs housing proposals. This Ordinance has been utilized for several development projects including the Bella Vista Senior Housing Project, Bevins Street Senior Apartments, and Martin Street Apartments Phase I & II, and Phase III.

Program 3-4 Seek Site and Funding for Affordable
Housing Ongoing
The Sixth Cycle Housing Element (adopted 07/07/20) includes Appendix A which identifies all available sites for residential development within the City of Lakeport. The City is currently partnered with Community Development Services through the Lake Economic Development Corporation to actively solicit potential housing developers in Lake County. Community Development Services has sponsored several housing fair’s over the past several years.

Program 3-5 Seek Available Funding Ongoing
The City has had great success over the past few years in obtaining HOME, CDBG and TCAC funding to support the construction of 72 affordable housing units and other supportive infrastructure. The City also intends to apply for funding through the CDBG NOFA to re-establish its housing rehabilitation program and address critical deferred maintenance issues such as re-roofing and weatherization activities which currently threaten the overall health of the City's existing housing stock. Due to the devastating Mendocino Complex Fire that occurred 2018 in Lake County, the City is eligible to receive approximately $10.5 million as part of the Multi-Family Housing Program through CDBG-DR funds and has been conditionally awarded the funding to support two additional projects an 80 unit multifamily housing project and a 40 unit senior housing project.

Program 3-6 Farmworker Housing Ongoing
The City is currently partnered with Community Development Services through the Lake Economic Development Corporation to actively solicit potential housing developers in Lake County, including providers of farmworker housing.

Community Development Services has sponsored several housing fair’s over the past several years.

Program 3-7 Accommodate Special Needs Housing Complete and Ongoing The Sixth Cycle Housing Element identified the need for the City to revise the Zoning Ordinance to address low barrier navigation centers; allow eligible supportive housing in a variety of zones; and allow eligible employee housing.

The City of Lakeport has made updates to the zoning code in regard to navigation centers, supportive housing, and employee housing. In reference to Section 17.11.030.K of the Lakeport Municipal Code, Emergency Shelters/supportive housing is identified as a use by-right within the C-3 Zoning District. Additionally, in 2010 the Lakeport City Council adopted Ordinance No. 880, which aimed to facilitate the development of housing opportunities for the elderly, the handicapped, households with very-low to moderate incomes and for persons with special housing needs as well as emergency shelters and transitional/supportive housing.

Program 3-8 Maintain Ongoing Estimates of the
Demand for Emergency Housing Annually
The City of Lakeport utilizes the work of the Lake County Continuum of Care point in time annual survey of homelessness in Lake County. The City of Lakeport has also worked with local non-profit homeless advocates in the provision of a community warming center.

Program 3-9 Reasonable Accomodation for Persons
with Disabilities Ongoing
The City of Lakeport adopted Ordinance 893 (2014) in conjunction with the approval of the Housing Element adding Chapter 17.40, Reasonable Accommodation for Persons with Disabilities to the Zoning Ordinance and continues to provide handouts to interested parties.

Program 4-1 Equal Housing Opportunity Ongoing
The City provides information regarding fair housing laws at City Hall. The City also partners with the Lake Economic Development Corporation to support housing services and fair housing and has participated in several housing fairs, which have assisted in educating the community about fair housing laws and rights.

STAFF REPORT
RE: Fireworks Permit Fees MEETING DATE: 03/19/2024
SUBMITTED BY: Chief of Police Brad Rasmussen
PURPOSE OF REPORT: ☐Information only ☐ Discussion ☒Action Item WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/BOARD:

Under the authority of AB 1403 which added 12635.5 to the California Health & Safety Code effective January 1, 2024, the city council is being asked to authorize, by resolution, a 2 percent Fireworks sales permit fee on the sale of fireworks in the city.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

Measure C was passed by the voters of Lakeport in November of 2009 and added Chapter 5.30 to the Lakeport Municipal Code (LMC) which authorizes the sales and use of state approved fireworks on and around the 4th of July of each year. Among other provisions, this ordinance called for 5 percent surcharge of the sales of fireworks to raise funds for the costs of administering LMC Chapter 5.30.

Each year the city must spend time issuing permits, inspecting fireworks stands, conducting public education and awareness campaigns, enforcing the LMC Chapter 5.30, deploying extra public safety personnel and cleaning up fireworks debris and trash. Annually this cost ranges from $25,000 - $30,000. In the past six years the current 5 percent surcharge has generated approximately $4,200 - $11,200. An additional 2 percent charged to the permittees would allow us to recover more of the City’s actual costs incurred to deal with fireworks sales, although overall the City will still fall short of complete cost recovery. As a result, a 2 percent permit fee, in addition to the 5 percent surcharge on sales, will not exceed the actual and reasonable costs the City incurs, nor will it require any permittee to pay more than its pro rata portion of those expenses because the fee is based on a percentage of gross sales.

All current fireworks permit holders (Clear Lake High School Boosters, Lake County Channel Cats, Lake County Realtors Scholarship & Community Fund, and Terrace School PTO) have been notified of the proposed two percent fireworks sales permit fee for sales within the City. They have been invited to participate and provide input in the public hearing.

OPTIONS:

1. Authorize the resolution.

2. Take no action.

3. Send back to staff for additional work.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKEPORT ESTABLISHING A 2 PERCENT PERMIT FEE FOR PERMIT PROCESSING,

INSPECTIONS, PUBLIC AWARENESS AND EDUCATION CAMPAIGNS, AND FIRE

OPERATIONS AND SUPPRESSION EFFORTS RELATED TO THE SALE OF SAFE AND

SANE FIREWORKS
WHEREAS, Article XIII C, section 1, subdivision (e) of the California Constitution provides that a “tax” does not include, among others: (1) a charge imposed for a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of conferring the benefit or granting the privilege, (2) a charge imposed for a specific government service or product provided directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service or product, and (3) a charge imposed for the reasonable regulatory costs to a local government for issuing licenses and permits, performing investigations, inspections, and audits, and the administrative enforcement and adjudication thereof;
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 1403 (AB 1403), adding Health & Safety Code section 12635.5 and taking effect January 1, 2024, authorizes cities permitting the sale of safe and sane fireworks to require each permittee to pay as a fee a pro rata portion of the actual and reasonable costs incurred by the city for, among other things, permitting firework sales, inspecting fireworks stands, conducting public awareness and education campaigns regarding fireworks, enforcing the city’s code (including extra personnel time and cleanup of firework trash and debris), and fire operation and suppression efforts;
WHEREAS, AB 1403 requires that the pro rata portion of costs be based on a percentage of each permittee’s gross sales (as shown on the permittee’s sales and use tax return for that year), and that the permit fee not exceed 7 percent of the gross sales of fireworks sold in the City; WHEREAS, Lakeport Municipal Code (LMC) section 5.30.070 requires any person desiring to sell safe and sane fireworks within the City to obtain a permit; WHEREAS, LMC section 5.30.160 assesses an annual surcharge on all retail sales of stateapproved safe and sane fireworks equal to 5 percent of each permittee’s gross sales to raise funds for the costs of administering LMC Chapter 5.30;
WHEREAS, the City spends an estimated thirty thousand dollars per year on law enforcement activities, public works deployment, and support from other City departments related to the sale and use of fireworks for the Fourth of July holiday;
WHEREAS, the annual surcharge imposed by LMC section 5.30.160 typically only provides the City with three to four thousand dollars in revenue each year, though unusually high sales last year provided revenue of approximately eleven thousand dollars; WHEREAS, a permit fee under AB 1403 of 2 percent would generate approximately $1,200 to $1,600, or up to $4,400 based on historical sales data, which still falls short of covering just the law enforcement costs related to the sale and use of fireworks for the Fourth of July holiday, not including to cost for permitting firework sales, inspecting fireworks stands, and conducting public awareness and education campaigns regarding fireworks; and WHEREAS, pursuant to AB 1403, the City of Lakeport desires to establish an annual permit fee of 2 percent of each permittee’s gross sales of fireworks in the City to recover more of the actual and reasonable costs incurred by the City in processing and issuing permits, inspecting fireworks stands, conducting public education and awareness campaigns regarding fireworks, enforcing the Lakeport Municipal Code, and providing fire operation and suppression efforts directly related to safe and sane fireworks.

Section 2. Adoption of Permit Fee.

STAFF REPORT
RE: HOME Investment Partnership Program Application MEETING DATE: 3/19/2024 SUBMITTED BY: Joey Hejnowicz, Community Development Director PURPOSE OF REPORT: ☐Information only ☐ Discussion ☒Action Item WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/BOARD:

The City Council is being asked to Adopt Resolution No. XXXX approving submittal for an application to the California Department of Housing and Community Development for Funding under the HOME Investment Partnership Program for the construction of a new 40-unit income restricted senior apartment complex located at 447 Bevins St. Lakeport, CA.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

On January 19, 2024, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (Department) issued a Notice of Funding Availability announcing the availability of funds under the HOME program (the “NOFA”) made available from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”).

The proposed project aims to address the critical need for affordable senior housing by constructing a threestory building on an undeveloped 3.37-acre site located at 447 Bevins Street in the City of Lakeport, Lake County, California (APN 025-431-37). The project envisions the creation of 40 units, consisting of 32 onebedroom apartments (608 sq ft each) and 8 two-bedroom apartments (799 sq ft each), including a unit reserved for the resident manager.

Affordability and Unit Distribution:

The units, excluding the on-site manager’s unit, will be offered at affordable rates for seniors with incomes ranging from 30 to 60 percent of the annual median income (AMI). The development will also include a 1,250 sq ft community center and 745 sq ft of laundry facilities, strategically distributed across the three floors.

Outdoor Amenities:

The project places a strong emphasis on community and well-being, offering a range of outdoor amenities such as covered picnic tables with barbeques, a bocce ball court, a community garden with raised planter beds, and a fenced dog park.

Infrastructure and Access:

The development incorporates 51 parking stalls, as well as bicycle racks and lockers situated in the northwest corner of the project site, providing four long-term and six short-term bicycle parking stalls. Offsite Meeting Date: 03/19/2024 Page 2 Agenda Item #VII.A.1.
infrastructure improvements include the construction of a new sidewalk along Bevins Street, with primary site access facilitated by a driveway off Bevins Street.

Construction Timeline and Costs:

The estimated construction timeline is approximately 18 months, with a total project cost of $15,188,277.

Funding sources include $2,396,301 of CDBG-DR funds, $250,000 in CDBG-DR funds for Activity Delivery, $700,000 of HOME Program Income and an amount not to exceed $12,200,000 HOME NOFA application being proposed tonight.

Challenges and Funding Strategy:

Navigating the competitive landscape for affordable housing funding in California has presented challenges. The project team submitted an application to the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program in early February 2024 and was unsuccessful. It is believed that an award of HOME funds would make the project highly competitive for future applications to the LIHTC program.

Commitment to Success:

Despite the challenges, the Development Team is unwavering in their commitment to securing full funding and successfully realizing this vital senior housing project.

OPTIONS:

1. Approve resolution authorizing HOME not to exceed $12,200,000.

2. Do not approve the resolution.

3. Offer alternative direction to staff.
