2. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to sign all documents.
The Amargosa Creek Recreation Trail Project represents the culmination of efforts led by multiple departments seeking to galvanize a shared community identity; make the City a safer place for active transportation; celebrate the landscape through arts, culture, and recreation; beautify a critical natural resource; and increase multimodal accessibility for our residents, removing barriers, and making the City of Lancaster a more equitable place to live. This project unifies the City’s existing active transportation network of bike lanes and trails, vastly increasing safe access to schools, work, groceries, and public transportation hubs. This augmented sense of viability counters the inherent perceptions of the City’s urban sprawl as a primary barrier for participation in the active transportation system, while simultaneously increasing the sense of safety, pride in the desert landscape, and fosters an understanding of fragile ecological systems and the importance of their conservation.

TEFRA Hearing/Approval of Exempt Facility Bonds for Maison’s Heights Apartments Recommendation:
Adopt
Resolution No.
23-56
pursuant to Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 approving the issuance of housing revenue bonds (the “Bonds”) by the California Municipal Finance Authority (the “CMFA”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $40,000,000.00 to finance or refinance the acquisition, construction, improvement and equipping of a multifamily rental housing project located at the southwest corner of 30th Street East and East Avenue K, Lancaster, California (the “Project”).
The Borrower requests that the City approve CMFA’s issuance of the Bonds in order to finance the above-mentioned project. The Bonds will be tax-exempt private activity bonds for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code and, as such, require the approval of the elected body of the governmental entity having jurisdiction over the area where the project to be financed is located. In order for the City to approve CMFA’s issuance of the Bonds, the City must conduct a Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (“TEFRA”) hearing to allow for public comment on the use of the tax-exempt bond financing. Notice of the TEFRA hearing was published in the Antelope Valley Press, a newspaper of general circulation in the community, on August 12, 2023, and the public hearing is scheduled for August 22, 2023.

Approval of the East Side Overlay
Recommendation:
Introduce
Ordinance No. 1105
, amending Section 17.20.760, 17.20.770, 17.20.780, 17.20.790, 17.20.800, 17.20.810 and 17.20.820 of the Zoning Ordinance (Title 17 of Lancaster Municipal Code), to establish the East Side Overlay.
The City of Lancaster analyzed past, current, and proposed development trends. The analysis revealed that a majority of development projects in the City are concentrated in the central and western portions of town while the eastern portion has few projects underway. Properties in the eastern portion of the City are predominantly agricultural, vacant, and/or undeveloped land. This underutilized area of the City could help respond to the high demand for industrial uses looking to build in Lancaster. Additionally, the eastside could be developed for alternative energy projects to meet the State’s ambitious energy goals. In order to promote and help vitalize the eastern portion, the City is proposing an East Side Overlay. The proposed East Side Overlay would increase flexibility and development potential, as well as incentivize alternative energy and light industrial development to occur beyond what is currently allowed. In addition, it would encourage new development that would provide economic benefits to the City and its residents. The East Side Overlay ensures that multiple sites are available for a variety of alternative energy, light industrial users, among others, which would provide employment-generating lands that are highly accessible and compatible with other uses in the community.
