Hi Sue:

I hope this email finds you doing well. Again, thank you for your patience and support with the permitting process for TOSH.

Before we proceed with the lease addendum and our other arrangements, could we find a time to discuss how the electrical expenses are to be handled going forward? I am doing my best to understand the appropriate process.

It was recently brought to our attention by Chuck Henson that the probation office is currently covering the electrical costs for the entire building.

Thank you, I look forward to coordinating a meeting in the meantime, would it be appropriate hold off on any billable hours regarding this issue with the lawyer?
Sincerely,
Nanette Rondeau

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
MEETING OF: October 15, 2024
Subject: General Plan Amendment GPA 2024-01;
Housing Element Update
From: Kathy LeBlanc, City Clerk
Gary Price, Contract Planner
Recommended Action: Solicit comments from the public of the draft 2024-29 Housing Element and offer any initial comments to the staff/consultant team for further consideration.

BACKGROUND:

The Housing Element, one of seven State mandated elements that comprise the General Plan, is a policy document that provides an assessment of housing characteristics and needs in the community and establishes programs to improve housing to meet these needs. In accordance with California Government Code Sections 65580-65589, the Housing Element must be updated, generally, every five years. The City's current Housing Element was approved by the State Department of Housing and Community Development ("HCD") for the period 2019-24. The Update, which includes significant changes, such as a new chapter on fair housing, is intended to bring the City into compliance with State Housing Law for the period of 2024-29.

The City conducted a public workshop with the City Council on the Housing Element Update on May 21, 2024, kicking off the project. In accordance with State Housing Law requirements, the first draft of the Housing Element Update has been released for a minimum 30-day public comment period starting September 12, 2024, 2024. During the September 17, 2024, City Council meeting, the draft was an item of public review and discussion. The Council requested more time to review the document and requested it to be rescheduled for this October 15, 2024, Regular Meeting. Council members are encouraged to contact Gary Price, Planning Consultant, who prepared the document with any questions on the project at (530) 272-6434 or at gary @plannerprice.com. Due to cost constraints, Gary will not be attending this second meeting on this 30-day review. The City Clerk will be taking notes of any comments the public and/or Council has at this meeting but won't be able to answer any technical questions on the project.

Comments received during this second public review will be considered in the preparation of a preliminary draft document that is then submitted for statutory review by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). We ask that any public comments, such as technical questions made at the meeting, include their contact information so 1 that Gary can reach out separately to answer their questions or respond to their comments.

Public Review/Availability/Website:

The City's website was recently updated with a Planning Resources section that offers a variety of information ranging from the General Plan to the City's Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Program. Towards the end of the page is a public announcement of the 30-day review period and access to the draft update at:
https://www.cityofloyalton.org/planning-resources.html
Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA): With each housing element cycle, HCD determines the number of projected housing units each City/County in California is required to accommodate in terms of land/zoning availability for all income levels as projected by HCD.

This allocation is called RHNA or Regional Housing Need Allocation. The City is not obligated to produce this housing but needs to demonstrate the ability to provide housing production opportunities to meet RHNA. The RHNA allocation for the 2024-29 cycle calls for a five-year with the objective of producing 2 housing units, both of which would be for lower-income families.

Table 1-1. Loyalton Regional Housing Needs Allocation (2024-2029) Income Category Income Range RENA
(New Construction Need)
Very Low $0 to $45,000 per year 1
Low $45,001 to $72,000 per year
Moderate $72,001 to $108,000 per year 0
Above Moderate More than $108,000 per year 0
Total Units 2
For a family of 4, Median Income is $90,000.

Source(s): Income Levels - HCD Income Limits for 2024; Regional Housing Need Determination for 7ih Housing Element Planning Cycle
This type of housing is more challenging to provide, considering minimum density requirements and the cost of producing market rate housing. Other reference income levels are Moderate and Above-Moderate income which is typically housing that can be produced through the market.

Although the County's RHNA is limited to lower income housing, the Update needs to include a complete analysis of housing characteristics and needs for all income levels.

The Draft Housing Element Update focusses on creating the two lower income housing units via enhancing the City's Accessory Dwelling Unit programs (see Programs section below).

Furthering Fair Housing:
2 Chapter 4 of the update, Assessment of Fair Housing, consists of a new chapter of the Housing Element that evaluates fair housing. In accordance with California Government Code Section 65583 (10)(A)(ii) this section requires the City to analyze racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty, disparities in access to opportunity, and disproportionate housing needs, including displacement risk. This, among many other newer housing statutes has made updating the housing element a much bigger task than past practices.

Programs: The substance of the Housing Element are the programs and measures to implement housing law. These are found in Chapter 8, Objectives, Policies, Implementing Actions and Quantified Objectives. This chapter references all the proposed programs that the City will need to complete over the next 5-years to maintain compliance with State housing laws. Referring back to Chapter 7, Housing Achievements During the 2019-24 Planning Cycle, programs were evaluated for performance and then included in the new programs as either modified or omitted in the 2024-29 draft update. Many new programs were developed to also comply with the newer State housing laws. Many of these programs were developed with the intension of meeting RHNA, but they have all been considered based on the City's limited resources to complete them. Most programs are mandated by statute with some of the more significant programs summarized as follows:
• Streamlined Approval (SB 35) and Permit Streamlining Act. The City will develop a preliminary application form and procedure or will adopt the Preliminary Application Form developed by HCD pursuant to SB 330. The City will also establish a written policy and/or procedure and other guidance, as appropriate, to specify the SB 35 streamlining approval process (Government Code 65913.4) and standards for eligible projects under Government Code Section 65913.4.
• Housing Element Regulatory Amendments: Amend the Zoning Code and other regulations to comply with State Housing Law and review the Zoning Code annually to determine if additional updates need to be completed as needed. Immediate Zoning Code/Other Regulation.
• Accessory Dwelling Unit Master Plan Program: The City will partner with the Regional Partnership for Achievable Housing Program with Sierra County and others to provide master plans for constructing new accessory dwelling units. This will include providing ADU plans to folks at a cost of $1,200 to incentivize development of ADUs at market rental rates. The City will provide these plans at no cost to property owners that reserve rental rates at lower-income rental rates for a minimum 50 years (maximum 2 units per year).
• Housing Conditions Survey: The City will complete a Housing Conditions Survey in older neighborhoods and neighborhoods with lower median incomes, to evaluate rehabilitation need.
• Assistance to public regarding housing and housing discrimination and Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing: The City will continue to serve as liaison between the public and appropriate agencies in matters concerning housing discrimination. The City will promote equal housing opportunities through the posting of information and distribution of literature at City buildings. The City will refer discrimination complaints to Legal Services of Northern California (LSNC) and the State Fair Employment and Housing 3 Commission.
• The City will develop a plan to Affirmatively Further Fair Housing (AFFH). The AFFH Plan shall take actions to address significant disparities in housing needs and in access to opportunity for all persons regardless of race, religion, sex, marital status, ancestry, national origin, color, familial status, or disability, and other characteristics protected by the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (Part 2.8 (commencing with Section 12900) of Division 3 of Title 2), Section 65008, and any other state and federal fair housing and planning law.

Environmental Review:

Adoption of the Housing Element Update will require the City Council to determine that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines (CEQA). The Housing Element, a policy document, qualifies under the general rule of CEQA. Section 15061(b)(3), which states that CEO applies only to projects "Where it can be seen with certainty there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, ..." Since this Update is not expected to result in any significant changes to development and/or growth in the City, there are no contemplated scenarios from this Update that would show that this activity would have a significant effect on the environment.

Next Steps:

After receiving public comments at this meeting and after the 30-day public review period the staff consultant team will consider these comments and make further changes to the document readying it for submittal to HCD for statutory review. HCD then has 90 days to review the document and work with the City to create a fully complying housing element. Once HCD issues a letter indicating that the draft meets State housing law, the document will be prepared for adoption through a notice public hearing, by the City Council. We hope that all this can be completed by the end of the year depending on how long HCD takes to complete their review. 12:47 PM City of Loyalton

Joy,
Per our last conversation I am forwarding you two (2) task orders and one (1) task order amendment for the City Council's consideration.
• Task Order 16 is a FY 25 General Services Task Order for $15,000. This contract is T&M and we typically do not bill for the full $15,000. This task order allows us the ability to assist the City with on-call requests and prepare the annual wastewater report required by the State.

Task Order 17 is a FY 25 Floodplain Management Services Task Order for $15,000. We did not complete the entire floodplain ordinance update last year and the City will not quality for FEMA protection services or insurance if the City does not adopt an updated ordinance.
• The last document is a contract amendment for the Waterline Repair project. This amendment is necessary to cover all the additional services required to gain project compliance with EPA.

I would be happy to discuss any item related to these contracts with you anytime and the last item I want to make sure is understood is that DOWL cannot commence work on any of these projects until all outstanding invoices are paid. Thank you for your time and consideration, Joy.
