galvanize
a
shared
community
identity;
make
the
City
a
safer
place
for
active
transportation;
celebrate
the
landscape
through
arts,

a
critical
natural
resource;

increase
multimodal
accessibility
for
our
residents,
removing
barriers,

making
the
City
of
Lancaster
a
more
equitable
place
to
live.

active
transportation
network

increasing

counters
the
inherent
perceptions

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

the
acquisition,
construction,

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

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.
PH 2.
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.
