Friends of the Inyo to Open First Ever Satellite
Office in Lone Pine. Public & Media Invited to
August 19 Open House.

Bishop, CA – In an effort to better serve the public land protection needs of Southern Inyo County, conservation nonprofit Friends of the Inyo

(FOI) will soon open its first ever Satellite Office in Lone Pine.

Located at 142 East Bush Street, in the Historic Forum Theater Building, the 700 square-foot corner suite is across from the Lone Pine Post Office, and, on the North Jackson Street side of the building, across from Stratham Hall and the Lone Pine Volunteer Fire Department.

Having an office in Lone Pine will strategically put FOI close to such iconic public lands as Alabama Hills National Scenic Area, the Mt.

Whitney Ranger District of the Inyo National Forest, Death Valley National Park, and Conglomerate Mesa, for which FOI, along with local Tribes and other desert land advocates, is working to gain permanent protection. It will also allow FOI to be physically much closer to Inyo County Seat Independence than the organization’s Bishop Headquarters, thereby making possible greater engagement with County Government.

Lone Pine local Kayla Browne, the FOI staff member who will be in charge of the new Satellite Office, said, “As Desert Lands Organizer and a resident of Lone Pine, being a part of the community is important to me. The new Lone Pine Office will allow FOI to host gatherings and meetings, give people a place to come to for inquiries, and show our commitment to the communities of Southern Inyo County.” To celebrate this expansion milestone in Friends of the Inyo’s 36-year history, the community and the media are invited to an Open House on the Lone Pine Satellite Office’s Grand Opening Day, Friday, August 19.

The 5 to 8 p.m. Open House will include free food for the first 50 attendees, assorted beverages, coloring sheets and snacks for kids, and the opportunity to meet FOI staff and board members and to mix & mingle with fellow Eastern Sierra neighbors.

In extending her invitation to everyone to join Friends of the Inyo for this momentous occasion, Executive Director Wendy Schneider said, “At FOI we are very excited about the opening of our Lone Pine Satellite Office. While our work to protect and care for the public lands of the Eastern Sierra has always included Southern Inyo County, our new office is a more visible demonstration that FOI is a long-term, longstanding member of the Southern Inyo County community, and that we are a local employer and committed stakeholder that contributes to the

area's economic viability and culture.”
About Friends of the Inyo
Founded in 1986 as an all-volunteer organization, Friends of the Inyo was originally organized to comment on the Inyo National Forest planning process. It has since evolved into a fully staffed conservation nonprofit whose mission is “To protect and care for the public lands of the Eastern Sierra.” Supported by thousands of generous individual and corporate donors, volunteers and community partners, Friends of the Inyo engages lovers of the Eastern Sierra in the protection of our precious public lands throughout all of Inyo and Mono Counties.

Capital Project Update
August Update
Created 7-27-22
Project Notes
CRC Staff expects the Sprung structure will be fully erected and enclosed in August. Work will continue on interior insulation and utilities.

Much of the exterior utility work has been placed underground.

CRC - Mobility Hub Contractor will begin framing the bus shelter in August. Work on the parking areas will commence once the site has been cleared of building materials.

CRC - Interior Work Town staff has provided contractor scope, awaiting proposal The Parcel PH 1 Construction of Building A1 exterior board-formed concrete “shotcrete” walls is complete, and installation of on-site utilities is in progress. Construction of the concrete slab is expected to take place next week.

Concrete placement for Building B1 foundations is complete, with work on structural concrete columns and underground utilities ongoing.

Installation of public sewer main is complete along Inyo Street and the portion of Tavern Rd extension south of the new park. Connection of new water main and storm drain at Center Street is in progress.
2021 Road Rehabilitation Work has resumed for the 2022 season. Qualcon began grinding and pulverizing Red Fir in preparation for a complete reconstruction. Once completed early the week of 8/2, they will move onto Mountain Boulevard, followed by Monterey Pines and Majestic Pines and some finish work on the MUPs later in August. A different contractor began work on Mountain Boulevard for AmeriGas to place gas line in the roads ahead of the road reconstruction.

Bluffs Slurry Seal The contractor has arrived in Town with some equipment, preparing for a one-day job on August 2 nd
. The slurry seal, which is an asphalt emulsion with fine aggregate, will put a new finish on Fir St, Benz Way, and Pine St and help prolong the life of these roads by many years. They will return approximately one week later to paint, stripe, and demobilize.

Ballfields Rehabilitation
Whitmore/Shady
Contract has been executed, and minor changes or clarifications to the project are being finalized with the Contractor. Changes entail slightly expanded scope to create a level and improved playing field. Work will begin after August 1st.
60 Joaquin Contract has been awarded and sent to design-build team, they are coordinating with modular factories regarding details of the contract and expect to be able to execute within about a week.

Town staff will then coordinate with the design team regarding design schedule, which is expected to begin in August, followed by PEDC entitlement, with a groundbreaking in late summer or early fall.

OMR Beautification No bids were received. Town staff is reaching out to several landscape contractors to determine interest in negotiating to perform the work this summer/fall.

Main Street Landscaping No bids were received. Town staff is reaching out to several landscape contractors to determine interest in negotiating to perform the work this summer/fall.

HSIP Intersection crossings Consultant is finalizing plans. Staff anticipates bidding and awarding in August, with work occurring in Sept and Oct.

Chaparral Extension (The
Parcel)
A contract has been awarded and work is scheduled to begin at the end of August.

Laurel Mountain Rd Rehab
& Sidewalk
A contract has been awarded and work is scheduled to begin at the end of August. The contractor has not provided a final schedule; however, it appears that work this season will include construction of underground storm drains and other utilities. Construction of sidewalk and other surface features will likely occur in spring of 2023.

Fuel Island Staff has identified an economically viable path forward to remediate the Fuel Island. Work would include opening, cleaning, inspecting, and potentially lining the tanks. The above ground concrete slab and ports would be replaced with more durable equipment. Any equipment found to be questionable would be replaced. This option would add at least 10 years to the life of the tanks for about half of the identified budget.

Minaret MUP Staff have reviewed and commented on 90% plans and are awaiting final design plans. No construction funding has yet been identified.

New Civic Center Staff working with HMC completed an office program, site plan, and preliminary concept design.

This exercise will be used to complete a rough order of magnitude budget which will be used to make recommendations to advance or delay the project.

Foundation Childcare Staff received 3 responses to a posted RFQ/RFP for design services. Staff will review the proposals and make a recommendation to award a contract either 8/17 or 9/7.

Main Street MUP Staff and our consultant are responding to Caltrans comments on initial plans. Town will then work with consultant to move on to detailed engineering design phase. No construction funding has yet been identified.

BOARD REPORT
Mtg. Date: August 3, 2022
To: Town of Mammoth Lakes City Council
From: Great Basin Unified Air Pollution Control District Phillip Kiddoo, Air Pollution Control Officer
Kimberly Mitchell, Research and Systems Analyst
Subject: Wildfire Smoke Monitoring Presentation
Summary:

As wildfire frequency and severity has increased in recent years, Mammoth Lakes is likely to experience wildfire smoke impacts this summer and fall. Great Basin Unified Air Pollution Control District (Great Basin) will present (see Attachment 1) on efforts to monitor wildfire smoke impacts in the region, will share useful sources of information for the public, and will highlight ways for the public to reduce exposure.

Great Basin collects and disseminates data across Inyo, Mono and Alpine counties from several categories of air quality monitors and sensors including permanent regulatory monitoring stations, portable emergency monitors, and low-cost sensors. These data are distributed via multiple products to keep the public informed of current and historic conditions.

There are many tools and sources of information available to the public to aid in decision-making about exposure, activity, and travel during smoky periods. A list of resources can be found attached to this report (see Attachment 2.)
Members of the public can take steps to reduce their exposure to wildfire smoke by knowing their area’s air quality conditions, reducing exposure to smoke, improving indoor air quality, following recommended actions for the current conditions, and by listening to their body.

How does Great Basin Unified
Air Pollution Control District
support our communities
during wildfire events?

Monitoring Data
Hourly Concentrations
• Raw readings from an air monitor
• Concentrations from different
pollutants can not be compared to one
another
• Closest to real-time conditions
• Most useful during rapidly changing
conditions
Air Quality Index
• An index that converts ambient
concentrations to a normalized scale
from 0 to 500 and provides associated
health-based descriptors for each
category, covering particulate pollution,
ozone, CO, SO2 and NO2
• AQIs from different pollutants can be
compared to one another with a level
near 100 generally corresponding to
national air quality standards
• For PM10 and PM2.5 AQI is calculated
from a 24-hour average
• Most useful to show conditions from one
day to the next and often used in
summarizing conditions
There are different ways to display particulate data, but all regulatory data used in analysis comes from the same source.
• A modified AQI that attempts to
be more responsive to changing
air quality conditions.
• Uses same health-based
descriptors as AQI
• Utilizes a weighted average of the
previous 12 hours of data
• Most useful when conditions are
stable or changing in a consistent
manor
AQI NowCast (AirNow)

Responses to Wildfire Impacts
• Mobile non-regulatory
monitors, also known as
EBAMs, can be deployed in
communities that do not
have permanent monitoring
• As of summer of 2022, the
District has 5 EBAMs
available for deployment
• Additional EBAMs can be
requested from federal
partners and California Air
Resource Board if needed
• Data from EBAMs is utilized
by many sources, including
AirNow, Air Resource Advisor
Reports and the Air Fire Map
• Issued based on District
Rule 701
• Hourly health advisories can
be found at
www.gbuapcd.org for
communities
• Daily or weekly advisories
are issued during significant
events
• Press releases on steps to
take during wildfire events
are issued as needed

Strategies to Reduce Exposure
to Wildfire Smoke
Know the air
quality conditions
• Sign up for health
advisories
•Use Great Basin’s
website or AirNow.gov
to find your closest
monitor
•Utilize low-cost sensors
in areas with no
regulatory monitor
•Use visual assessments
if no monitors are
available
Reduce exposure
to smoke
• Reduce activity during
high impact times
• Plan necessary errands
during less smokey
windows of time
• Cancel outdoor public
events, recess and
sports practices
• Properly fitted N95 or
P100 particulate
respirators can reduce
exposure if you must be
outside (dust masks and
surgical masks do not
provide protection)
Improve indoor
air quality
•Avoid vacuuming,
burning candles and
creating smoke by
cooking
•Utilize air conditioning
on recirculate to filter
air
•Utilize air
filters/cleaners
• Create clean rooms
•Utilize clean air shelters
for some hours of the
day, if unable to reduce
particulates at home
Listen to your
body
• Consult your doctor if
you have concerns
•Have medications
available (inhalers, etc.)
•Determine if you are in
a category that may be
more sensitive to smoke
• People with heart or
lung disease
•Older adults and
children
• Pregnant women
•Outdoor workers who
may have longer
exposure

Please accept this Public Comment and Question for Item 8.1, update on Bird Scooters.

Submitted by email as, unfortunately, due to a scheduling conflict I will not be available to attend/listen in this afternoon.

As the Bird presentation is not available (as of 9 AM), and given this question may only be partially Bird’s to answer: Is the Town working with Bird to enforce the rules/regulation/laws related to use of the Bird scooters? I have been asked about 1) their use by users clearly under the age of 18; and 2) their use on public sidewalks. These are common issues Bird and other towns face daily along with driver’s licenses and helmets (for minors, who aren’t supposed to be riding anyway).

It is understood Bird may already be planning to address these questions in their presentation. And yes, when I get questions like this I refer them to current Town staff/departments as these are certainly not for me to answer. But they persist, so I pass them along.

Thank you,

Subject: FW: Public Comment and Question on Item 8.1 Bird Scooters [EXTERNAL EMAIL]
Town Manager,
First, thanks to Jamie for including my email below in the Town Council packet for the recent meetings. As noted below, I have been asked by some in Town about these issues and thought I would try to get a response to what we thought were pretty straight-forward questions. I did note that during the August 3 meeting, Bill mentioned the age of riders issue, along with other comments. I was asked again yesterday about the age question (along with a “where’d the scooters go?” Bird question…. that I was able to answer).

Age of riders: Bird has faced this question many times before, as has every agency that has allowed Bird to operate. It appears Bird answered the question (good effort, actually) by saying something to the effect of “we require users to fill out a form, and Bird requires 18 or over, we can push out other info and ban riders….” How might they ‘ban riders’ unless they are notified by the Town/local law enforcement? In articles on line, it is evident parents are letting their kids use their credit cards, so it will be nearly impossible to stop that practice unless there are penalties……..? After a bit of discussion of other issues, the matter was left, appropriately, to “we’ll wait to see if Bird comes back this year or proposes to come back next year” and “if there’s action desired, it would need to be put on the agenda.” There was no input or recommendation provided by staff related to the age issue. Should this come back, we ask that the age of riders issue be discussed before further authorization of their use is considered.

In Bird’s agreement, among many other statements:
“I certify that I am the Rider, I am 18 years old or over, I will wear a helmet where required by law, I will not ride a Vehicle with another occupant, I will obey all traffic laws, I will ride at my own risk, and I have read and expressly agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.” In closing, without any additional input from Bird, staff should be able to answer this question: Will Town staff/PD be enforcing the State Law in this matter? Thanks, and I will pass along the expected response as appropriate. An answer will be appreciated, especially as this question can be answered whether or not Bird ever comes back and, an answer can be provided without additional input from Bird.

Agenda Action Sheet
Title: READY Mono Emergency Preparedness Portal Presentation.

Council Meeting Date: 8/3/2022
Prepared by: Stuart Brown, Parks and Recreation Director | PIO Rob Patterson, Administration and Finance Director
Recommended Motion: Receive presentation from County/Town staff.

Summary: The newly formed Mono County Office of Emergency Management led by Director Chris Mokracek recently launched Mono County’s new emergency preparedness and response portal: READY Mono (READY.Mono.ca.gov). The portal is designed to provide residents and visitors with emergency readiness, response, and recovery resources, and share real-time information and critical updates before, during, and after an emergency or natural disaster.

Examples of these events include COVID-19 (Coronavirus), Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS), and wildfires (Creek Fire).

The READY Mono portal can be accessed at ready.mono.ca.gov, and under the “READY MONO” icon on the Mono County homepage (www.monocounty.ca.gov) or under Quick Links on the Town’s website (www.TownofMammothLakes.ca.gov).

Director Chris Mokracek will introduce READY Mono to the Town Council and community, followed by County staff who will take a deep dive into the new emergency preparedness and response portal highlighting the many features, functionality, and emergency response applications such as Zonehaven.

Zonehaven is an interactive app-based software system that provides real-time updates on local emergencies to communicate with targeted communities as it relates to evacuation orders. The County/Town has invested in Zonehaven to facilitate emergency evacuations across Mono County and throughout the Town of Mammoth Lakes. Staff encourages residents to visit the Zonehaven webpage (bookmark it on your desktop, phone, or device) and type in your address to identify your zone!
The Mono County Office of Emergency Management, in coordination with the Town of Mammoth Lakes, will be conducting an evacuation *EXERCISE* in the Trails Neighborhood on Wednesday, August 10, between the hours of 1 – 5pm. The purpose of the exercise is to utilize public safety communication platforms, respond to and manage a multi-agency incident, and to test in real-time the Zonehaven Evacuation System. Residents of the Trails Neighborhood are being notified of this training exercise via email, hand-delivered letters, and social media.

No exhibits are included in this staff report.

Mammoth Lakes Town Council
Agenda Action Sheet
Title: Approve the resolution providing for the allocation of funding to the Mammoth Lakes Foundation in the amount of $100,000 to complete an updated architectural and design and cost estimate for the Mammoth Arts and Cultural Center (MACC) project.

Council Meeting Date: 8/3/2022
Prepared by: Daniel C. Holler, Town Manager
Recommended Motion: Staff recommends Council adopt the proposed resolution authorizing the allocation of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) to Mammoth Lakes Foundation to support architectural design and related work on the Mammoth Arts and Cultural Center (MACC) from designated Measure U Funds (Fund 217).

Summary:

The Mammoth Lakes Foundation has been working to update the design for the Mammoth Arts and Cultural Center (MACC). The Mammoth Lakes Foundation (MLF) is in the process of a redesign of the previous performing arts facility design. The change incorporates the use of the existing Edison Hall (Hall) into the design and incorporates feedback from likely local user organizations. This includes the modernization of the Hall to provide support spaces for a connected multi-purpose performing auditorium space. The new facility and the Hall will have a connecting corridor. MLF has retained HMC Architects to complete the updated concept plans for programming space, structural assessment of Edison Hall, preliminary site plans, and cost estimates. This has been a work in process and with additional design changes and impacts on construction costs, the additional design work is necessary.

As part of the FY22-23 budget process one hundred thousand dollars from Measure U was recommended and allocated to support this work. Staff is recommending the allocation of $100,000 from the Measure U Funds set aside for the MACC project be authorized for MLF to continue the design work. The updated design and cost estimates will move the project one step closer to proceeding to construction.

A resolution providing for the allocation of funding to Mammoth Lakes Foundation in the amount of $100,000 to complete an updated architectural work, design, and cost estimate for the MACC project is recommended. The use of committed Measure U Funds for this purpose is appropriate and is in accordance with Chapter 3.44 of the Town Municipal Code, which governs the use of these funds.

RESOLUTION NO. 22 – ___

A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF MAMMOTH LAKES, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, ALLOCATING ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($100,000) IN MEASURE U (FUND 217) FUNDS TO THE MAMMOTH LAKES FOUNDATION TO PROVIDE

FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR ARCHIETECTURAL AND DESIGN AND COST ESTIMATION

UPDATES FOR THE MAMMOTH ARTS AND CULTURAL CENTER (MACC) PROJECT WHEREAS, the Town Council has previously committed and allocated Measure U Funds (Fund 217) to support the Mammoth Arts and Cultural Center (MACC) project being designed by the Mammoth Lakes Foundation (Foundation) on property owned by the Foundation; and WHEREAS, uses of Measure U Funds are specified in Section 3.44.190 of the Town’s Municipal Code and include the planning, construction, operation, maintenance, programming, and administration of facilities for arts and culture; and
WHEREAS, one hundred thousand dollars was allocated in the FY22-23 Town Budget from Measure U to support the Foundation to update the design and cost estimates of the MACC project based on preliminary work and follow up engagement with potential uses of the new facility; and WHEREAS, the Town continues to support efforts to have the MACC project completed with modifications incorporating the existing Edison Hall, the construction of a performing arts auditorium and support areas, and continues to allocate $2,500,000 for construction of the new facility.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of Mammoth Lakes as follows:

Section 1. The Town Council authorizes funding to the Mammoth Lakes Foundation in the amount of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) from the Measure U Reserves, Fund 217 to support architectural and design related services to complete an updated design and cost estimate for the Mammoth Arts and Cultural Center.

Section 2. Payment of funds will be made following the submittal of an invoice for payment of funds by Mammoth Lakes Foundation to be used to fund architectural and design related services.

Section 3. The Town Council finds that the expenditure authorized by this resolution serves a public purpose by assisting the Foundation in fulfilling the approved purposes of Measure U in supporting arts and culture facilities in the Town of Mammoth Lakes.

APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 3rd DAY OF AUGUST 2022.

Mammoth Lakes Town Council
Agenda Action Sheet
Title: Adopt a resolution approving a grant application of up to $500,000 to the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program for Homebuyer Assistance and the execution of a grant agreement.

Council Meeting Date: 8/3/2022
Prepared by: Nolan Bobroff, Senior Planner / Housing Coordinator Recommended Motion: Adopt a resolution approving a grant application of up to $500,000 to the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program for Homebuyer Assistance and the execution of a grant agreement..

Summary: The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is responsible for administering the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program to all non-entitled State jurisdictions, with funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The CDBG program funds local community development activities such as affordable housing, anti-poverty programs, and infrastructure development. HCD published the 2022 CDBG Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) on April 19, 2022, announcing the availability of approximately $30,000,000 in funding. Eligible cities and counties can apply for up to three activities and the application limit is $1.5M with a maximum single activity amount ranging from $250,000 - $500,000.

On June 1, 2022, the Town Council held a public hearing to discuss potential activities the Town should consider applying for in response to the 2022 CDBG NOFA. At the public hearing, Town staff and Mammoth Lakes Housing (MLH) proposed applying for the following two activities (no other proposals were made at the public hearing):

1. Homebuyer Assistance grant to assist income-eligible households with the acquisition of existing housing units; Grant Amount Proposed: Up to $500,000

2. Public Service grant to provide short-term rental assistance payments to income-eligible households; Grant Amount Proposed: Up to $500,000
After the public hearing, staff conferred with MLH regarding the two activities and ultimately decided on pursuing only the Homebuyer Assistance grant due to the low Needs Score assigned to Mammoth Lakes by the State for Public Service type activities (the Town’s Public Services Needs Score is 20 out of 100). CDBG applications for Homebuyer Assistance and Public Service activities are competitive grant applications and the application rankings are largely based on the Needs Scores. The Town’s Needs Score for Homebuyer Assistance is also relatively low (24 out of 100); however, the hope is that the Town will be more competitive in this NOFA round since many jurisdictions received CDBG awards over the past two years and the State requires that a jurisdiction have spent more than 50% of the grant award to be eligible for a new award. The Town was not successful in their 2021 CDBG application for Homebuyer Assistance due to being ranked to low as a result of the Needs Score and the Town did not submit an application in 2020 for Homebuyer Assistance since we had an active 2017 CDBG award.

MLH will be a subrecipient on the grant and will assist with the preparation and submission of the grant application. If awarded the grant, MLH will then take the lead on the administration of the grant and assisting households through the homeownership process.

The application deadline is August 19, 2022 and awards will be announced no later than November 2022.

Mammoth Lakes Town Council
Agenda Action Sheet
Title: Discuss and consider approval of the agreement between the Town of Mammoth Lakes and Mammoth Lakes Housing.

Council Meeting Date: 7/20/2022
Prepared by: Sandra Moberly, Community and Economic Development Director Recommended Motion: Staff recommends that Town Council approve the professional services agreement between the Town and Mammoth Lakes Housing.

Summary:

Staff is recommending Council approve the agreement with Mammoth Lakes Housing (MLH).

The agreement has been discussed with staff and presented to the MLH board. The MLH Board and MLH Staff may request additional changes/additions to the agreement, which may be considered by Town Council. The agreement as presented provides for a one-year agreement for FY22-23 with the option to have the agreement automatically extend for two additional one-year terms under the same terms and conditions. The funding is set at $336,000 per year. Either party may request to open agreement and negotiate on any proposed changes. The agreement reflects the discussions and direction provided by Town Council. A staff report and draft of the agreement are attached.

1 TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Title: Discuss and consider approval of the agreement between the Town of Mammoth Lakes and Mammoth Lakes Housing
Meeting Date: August 3, 2022
Prepared by: Sandra Moberly, Community and Economic Development Director RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that Town Council approve the professional services agreement between the Town and Mammoth Lakes Housing and authorize the Town Manager to sign the agreement subject to any Council modifications and final legal review.

BACKGROUND:

The Town and partners created Mammoth Lakes Housing (MLH) for housing-related services in 2002. Mammoth Lakes Housing has performed a number of services on the Town’s behalf and working with other agencies. MLH assists with grant applications and grant management when they serve as a subrecipient and received administrative and delivery funds from grants. MLH provides a variety of housing related services and programs such as managing deed restriction design/household qualifications/ongoing stewardship of these units, public outreach/education, as well as affordable housing development of 82 rental units and 48 ownership units. MLH generally services low- and moderate-income households but works with others as well. The mission of MLH is to support community housing for a viable economy and a sustainable community. MLH has assisted the Town in the past with housing element updates and other housing related planning documents. The proposed contract continues MLH’s mission to provide their ongoing housing related programs and services and the implementation of specific deliverable on behalf of the Town as provided in the proposed agreement. Town funding for these services is recommended at $336,000 per year. This is a one-year contract with provisions for three one-year automatic extension under the same terms and conditions.

On July 7, 2021, the Town Council approved a one-year contract which expired on June 30, 2022. When the Town Council approved the FY 21/22 MLH contract, they provided direction to Town staff to seek out additional housing programs and determine the level of support needed from MLH for the new housing programs. Since execution of the FY 21/22 contract, MLH has pursued other contract work, and secured HOME Grant funding and raised other funds for the Access Apartments project (238 Sierra Manor Road). The Town and MLH successfully applied for a HomeKey grant to support a hotel conversion project.

Additionally, the Town has solidified the Housing Now! Program and has provided the Council with updates over the past several months on the program goals and accomplishments. MLH has provided real estate services for elements of the Housing Now! Program.

2 Contract Overview
During the recent housing-related Town Council meetings, the Council has provided direction to staff to develop a list of deliverables for the MLH contract that are more succinct and oriented to specific housing focus areas. The focus areas identified by the Council include creation and preservation of deed restricted units, maintain appropriate wait lists for housing units, bring more grant money to Mammoth Lakes, provide real estate services, and provide housing services and information to the community. Staff has taken the direction provided by Council and has drafted a more succinct list of deliverables for the MLH contract (Attachment 1).

The contract funding is proposed to be $336,000 per year which is the same as the current contract amount. MLH does receive additional funding from grant subrecipient work. The additional funding varies depending on the number of grants for which they are the subrecipient. MLH also does work for other agencies.

The Town Council reviewed the draft deliverables on May 18, 2022 and did not have any specific changes to the deliverables as provided. After the May 18, 2022 Town Council meeting, the MLH Contract Committee and MLH Board reviewed the draft deliverables and provided comments, which are addressed below.

ANALYSIS:

The proposed 2022 contract is for a one-year period with two, one-year potential renewals beginning on July 1, 2022 with a proposed compensation of $336,000/year. The majority of the proposed contract scope of work remains the same as the previous contract, with the overall change being a simplified list of deliverables and the removal of items that are part of MLH’s core services as a housing non-profit. This includes things like “maintain regular office hours, provide Spanish language services, process rental applications,” and other baseline services. The Council direction was to achieve a succinct summary of deliverables that are above and beyond the services that MLH provides in their role as a local housing non-profit. While it’s acknowledged that the Town provides funding for the MLH core services, it is not required to call them out in detail in the contract. This will allow MLH and the Town to better track progress on the measurable deliverables that are a priority to the Town, above the MLH baseline services.

In addition to the contract with the Town, MLH engages in contract work with Mono County, Alpine County, and the City of Bishop and collaborates with other non-profit organizations and private developers on projects and programs relative to their mission to “support workforce housing for a viable economy and sustainable community.” MLH Board Requests/Responses
Staff has provided a brief summary/response to the analysis as outlined in the July 11, 2022 MLH Board staff report.

1. Ongoing term – MLH has noted that it takes a considerable amount of time to review and negotiate the contract on an annual basis and has proposed that the

3 contract be an annual contract with an option for an automatic renewal if there are no issues that have been raised either from the Town or MLH. Staff has proposed the following language in response to the MLH Board’s request for a longer contract period:

3.1.2. The term of this Agreement shall be renewed automatically for two (2) successive terms of one (1) year (July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2025) under the same terms and conditions. Either party may provide written notice of a decision not to renew this Agreement to the other party at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the then-current term of the Agreement. Nothing herein shall prevent or require the parties to negotiate an extension or amendment to the Agreement to change its terms in connection with an extension, including without limitation by amending the compensation or scope of work.

Staff is supportive of this language as it allows the Town or MLH to make changes to the agreement on an annual basis if needed (with a sixty-day notice), but not required to do so to continue work services under the current agreement.

2. Real Estate Services – Mammoth Lakes Housing provides several different types of real estate services for the Town, such as preserving deed restricted units using the Revolving Loan Program and purchasing and/or selling units through the Bridge program. The MLH Board discussed the various real estate services and had concerns that the number of units being purchased through these programs exceed the existing MLH staff capacity. To that end, they proposed limits on certain real estate services provided to the Town.
a. Deed Restriction Preservation Program – When MLH buys and sell units through the Deed Restriction Preservation Program (using the Town’s Revolving Loan Fund) they receive a 3% commission from the seller which covers some of their carrying expenses for the unit. Because these transactions come with additional funding, MLH has proposed to continue this process of preserving deed restricted units with their typical commission and no limit on the number of units they would process through this program.
b. Bridge Program – Over the past year, MLH has purchased two (2) units for the Bridge program and the Town purchased three (3) additional units that are being resold through the Bridge program. Of those five (5) units, two (2) have been sold and three (3) are being marketed for sale. Because the program is beyond the scope of the previous contract deliverables, MLH has proposed that they can buy and sell up to three (3) units per year as a part of this program without any additional requests for funding. c. General Real Estate Services – Over the past year, MLH assisted in the escrow process and purchase of one (1) unit for the Town outside of the programs listed above (unit used as an employee housing unit) and the Town purchased an additional unit to be used as an employee housing unit.

MLH has proposed that additional real estate services will incur a cost of

4 1.5% to represent either the seller or buyer (representation of both seller and buyer would be 3%)
Staff is supportive of the MLH request as outlined above and included in Attachment 1. Nothing in the agreement limits the Town’s ability to work with any other entity or agent for real estate services.

3. Miscellaneous MLH Comments - A number of other items were suggested to be included in the deliverables per the MLH Board.
a. Annual monitoring of the First Time Homebuyer (FTHB) portfolio – staff has added this to the deliverables.
b. Kitzbuhl Regulatory Agreement Compliance – staff has added this to the deliverables.
c. Annual Apartment Vacancy Report – staff has added this to the deliverables.
d. Participate in General Plan Housing Element – staff has not included this in the deliverables as the Housing Element will not be updated until 2027. e. Serve as a resource to the Town (Community Indicators Report, serve on Housing Mitigation Fee working group, etc.) – staff has not included this in the deliverables as providing the Town with housing statistics and participating in housing-related working groups is included within the baseline MLH services and doesn’t need to be called out as a separate deliverable.
f. Coordinate with the Town on GIS database – staff has not included this in the deliverables as providing the Town with housing statistics and participating in housing-related working groups is included within the baseline MLH services and doesn’t need to be called out as a separate deliverable.
g. Participate in the continuum of care (regional homelessness coordination entity) – staff has included this in the deliverables as MLH participation allows for the access of additional grant funding for MLH/Town projects. h. Attend Town meetings – staff has not included this in the deliverables as providing the Town with housing statistics and participating in housingrelated working groups is included within the baseline MLH services and doesn’t need to be called out as a separate deliverable. Additionally, the deliverables specifically call out formal updates to Town Council as a part of 6.a.

Additional Comments by MLH
In addition to the comments outlined in the July 11, 2022 staff report, MLH provided comments via “track changes” in the document attached to their staff report. Staff has reviewed these comments and provided responses as needed:
 Introduction paragraph – Staff had originally suggested a succinct introductory paragraph that outlines the purpose of the agreement and the focus on low to moderate Area Medium Income (AMI) levels. MLH has suggested an expanded

5 introduction paragraph that reflects the trusting relationship and history between the Town and MLH. Staff suggests that the introductory paragraph remain succinct to reflect MLH’s core services and specific deliverable as a contractor with the Town. This document isn’t intended to be used as a testimony of the relationship between the entities, rather a succinct summary of the work program items to be achieved.
 Grant Administration Fees – MLH suggested that language be included to describe how grant administration fees would be allocated between the Town and MLH.

Staff included the following language in the deliverables which is identical to the language from the 21/22 MLH deliverables:
o “Costs of administering grants shall be paid to the extent contemplated by Section 1.c of Exhibit B.”
- Section 1.c of Exhibit B states In addition to the payments under Section

1.a above, the Town agrees to pay MLH the administrative and activity delivery funds allowed in all housing related grants received by the Town, including CDBG, HOME, HELP, Begin, etc. as mutually agreed upon through applicable subrecipient agreements. MLH acknowledges that Town may refuse to enter into subrecipient agreements that do not permit Town to retain a portion of the administrative funds to support the Town’s administrative costs.

Staff has included a clean version of the contract deliverables as Attachment 1, Exhibit A.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Council consider the professional services agreement with Mammoth Lakes Housing and consider authorization of the professional services agreement with Mammoth Lakes Housing for housing related services, reflecting the scope of work as shown in Exhibit A of the agreement, for an annual amount of $336,000.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:

The contract with Mammoth Lakes Housing is funded out of the General Fund using Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) funds. Community and Economic Development staff provide required contract oversight and program support.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS:

The contract will be reviewed by the Town Attorney prior to execution and his changes will be included as necessary.

Community Indicators Report
The 2021 Community Indicators Report uses indicators to report performance related to the “triple bottom line” sustainability goals of the community of Mammoth Lakes. These goals and indicator results reflect the interplay between the social, environmental, and economic factors affecting the community’s well-being. Impacts from the COVID-19 Pandemic are still evident in this year’s Community Indicators Report. Indicators that were significantly affected by the pandemic are identified and acknowledged throughout the report.

The purpose of this report is to educate local residents, inform planning and other public resource allocation decisions, and attract new private capital to the community. The indicators in this report are influenced by sustainability actions taken by the Town of Mammoth Lakes (Mammoth Lakes), other public agencies, non-governmental organizations, private sector businesses, and local residents.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Town of Mammoth Lakes 2021 Annual Planning Report was prepared by the Town of Mammoth Lakes Community and Economic Development Department in accordance with California Government Code Section 65400. This report was presented to and accepted by the Mammoth Lakes Town Council on August 3, 2022. The Annual Housing Element Progress Report (Attachment 1) was previously submitted to the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) on March 31, 2022.

This report summarizes the measures and actions associated with the implementation of the Town’s General Plan elements with specific reference to each of the individual elements required by State law. These elements include Land Use, Circulation, Conservation, Open Space, Noise, Safety, and Housing. The Town’s General Plan addresses all the required elements and includes several optional elements that address specialized local objectives and priorities. The organization of the Town’s General Plan elements differ slightly from the State’s standard in how they are titled and organized.

During the 2021 planning period, the Town continued to make progress towards implementation of the General Plan through the completion of long-range planning projects that carried over from 2020, and work on both long-range and current projects that were initiated in 2021.

In mid-2021, the Town Council held a series of workshops to discuss and establish updated Council strategic priorities and key objectives for the ensuing 18-month period.1 The strategic priorities build off the 2007 General Plan Vision Statement and are intended to establish and guide staff work programs to further the implementation of that vision.

The strategic priorities identified during the workshop formed the basis for strategic investment and allocation of limited time and financial resources during the 2021 planning period. The four primary Strategic Priorities that were adopted, based largely upon the values identified in the 2007 General Plan Community Vision Statement, are:

1. Expand availability and affordability of community housing.

2. Enhance a sustainable recreation economy with partnerships and investment.

3. Investment in infrastructure improvements and maintenance.

4. Implementation of enhanced and required municipal services.

Accompanying the four strategic priorities are focused objectives that could feasibly be accomplished within the projected 18-month period. Accomplishments for the 2021 planning year are discussed throughout this report.
1 Prior ‘Strategic Priority and Key Objective Statements’ were approved by the Town Council in 2014, 2016, and 2018.

2007 GENERAL PLAN
State General Plan Guidelines
The Town of Mammoth Lakes General Plan was last comprehensively updated in 2007, and includes ten elements that guide development, conservation, and land uses within the Town. The elements of the General Plan encompass the seven elements required by State law, as well as several optional elements adopted by the Town to address issues of local importance and concern. The ten elements of the Town's General Plan are:
• Economy
• Arts, Culture, Heritage and Natural History
• Community Design
• Neighborhood and District Character
• Land Use
• Mobility
• Parks, Open Space and Recreation
• Resource Management and Conservation
• Public Health and Safety
• Housing
The 2007 Town of Mammoth Lakes General Plan did not include updates to the Housing, Parks and Recreation, or Noise Elements. The status of those elements are described below:
• The Parks and Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) was comprehensively updated in 2012, thereby replacing the previous 1990 Parks and Recreation Element. • The Mobility Element was comprehensively updated in 2016, thereby replacing the 2007 Mobility Element.
• The Housing Element is comprehensively updated on a schedule established by the State and the following updates have occurred since 2007 covering the specified planning periods:
o 2007-2014 Housing Element (GPA 10-002)
o 2014-2019 Housing Element (GPA 13-002)
o 2014-2019 Housing Element Amendment (GPA 15-001)
o 2019-2027 Housing Element (GPA 19-001)
• The Public Health and Safety Element was comprehensively updated in 2019 to address wildfire hazards and incorporate climate adaptation strategies. • The Noise Element (1997) is still in effect and will be updated when feasible.

In addition to the above comprehensive updates, the Town Council has made several policy decisions regarding implementation and resulting in minor amendments to the General Plan. These include the 2009 PAOT/PIEC Policy, the 2014 Zoning Code Update, the 2014 elimination of the CBIZ Policy, and the 2016 updates to the General Plan and Zoning Code to implement a floor area ratio (FAR) standard and update the General Plan Mobility Element. A General Plan Amendment was approved in 2017 to increase the allowed uses in the Institutional Public (IP) land use designation, requiring changes to the Land Use Element and the Buildout Table. The purpose of the amendment was to

ANNUAL PLANNING REPORT

2021 Annual Planning Activities Report Page 6 of 32
allow for a wider range of housing uses to support the allowed institutional uses (e.g., schools, college, hospital, government agencies, etc.) and to allow for the proposed Mammoth Arts and Cultural Center and Wounded Warrior Center projects to be located on properties owned by Mammoth Lakes Foundation, which are located on College Parkway within the IP zoning designation.

A summary of all the General Plan Amendments that have been approved since 2007 is available here: https://www.townofmammothlakes.ca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/9571.

Key Efforts and Challenges in Implementing the General Plan The following key efforts were accomplished in 2021 to implement the General Plan:
• Town Council allocated approximately $10M in FY 21/22 towards various workforce housing programs and projects, including the Parcel, small-site development (e.g., 60 Joaquin PUD), the Bridge Program, and partnership projects with MLH (e.g., Access Apartments, Homekey hotel conversion).
• The Final Master Plan for The Parcel was approved by Town Council in January 2021. Construction began on Phase 1 of The Parcel in the fall of 2021. Phase 1 will consist of 81 units (80 affordable, 1 manager) of housing, childcare space for up to 34 children, community space, and a 0.8-acre park.
• Town staff partnered with Mammoth Lakes Housing (MLH) to launch the Bridge Program with the goal of increasing the number of affordable units within the Town through the acquisition of existing market-rate units that are then resold at a reduced affordable price (focus is on missing-middle income households). Five units have been acquired since November 2021.
• The Mammoth Disposal Transfer Station Expansion project was approved in July 2021 to allow for a large volume transfer station and relocation of the recycling center. The transfer station expansion is necessary to accommodate the impending closure of the Benton Crossing Landfill in January 2023 and the need to transfer all locally generated solid waste onto lang-haul trucks that will be transported to a landfill outside of the region.
• Work continued on the Main Lodge Redevelopment project which encompasses a complete redevelopment of all of the Main Lodge ski area facilities. This is anticipated to be a multi-year process.
• The parking standards in the Zoning Code were updated to facilitate the use of alternative parking and Transportation Demand Management measures in accordance with Mobility Element goals.
• Town Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) code standards were amended to improve usability and clarify the standards and requirements for the various types of ADUs. • Work continued on an SB1 grant awarded by Caltrans for a Mobility Hub Study and Program. The project is a study and implementation program that addresses planning for mobility hubs in the Town of Mammoth Lakes. • Environmental work (NEPA and CEQA) was completed in October 2021 on the MMH Airport Terminal Area Development Plan Project. Staff also continued to work with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on airport improvements that implement the Airport Capital Improvement Program (ACIP).
• Work on the Multi-Use Recreational Facility/Community Recreation Center project continued. In the spring of 2021 work began on the site with the ice rink slab,

2021 Annual Planning Activities Report Page 7 of 32
perimeter foundations, and the placement of concrete for the support and operational spaces being completed before work was suspended for the winter season.

The primary challenges encountered while furthering the goals of the General Plan include:
• Competing, necessary, and unanticipated priorities, as well as State mandates influence staff time spent on approved work programs, and do not always directly align with the General Plan Implementation Program items that are typically used to gauge progress towards implementing the General Plan. Funding limitations also make it necessary to prioritize specific projects and objectives for Town work programs.

Land Use Elements
Three elements in the 2007 General Plan address land use. These elements are Land Use, Community Design, and Neighborhood and District Character.

Land Use Element
The Land Use Element states: “An overarching principle of the community is to maintain the town’s compact urban form, protect natural and outdoor recreation resources, and prevent sprawl.”
Zoning Code Updates
The Town’s Zoning Ordinance is consistent with the Land Use Element of the General Plan and it is implemented through the day-to-day application of the Zoning Ordinance. The Town’s most recent comprehensive Zoning Code Update (ZCU) was adopted in 2014.

Since that time, numerous Zoning Code Amendments have been processed. In 2021, the following Zoning Code Amendments were adopted or worked on:
• ZCA 20-001 – Parking Standards: This amendment clarified the Town’s alternative parking provisions, established the review and approval process for parking reduction requests and changes or expansions of uses that are nonconforming as to parking, and facilitated the use of alternative parking and Transportation Demand Management measures in accordance with Mobility Element goals. The Planning and Economic Development Commission recommended adoption of ZCA 20-001 in January 2021 and was adopted by the Town Council in April 2021. • ZCA 20-004 – Accessory Dwelling Units: This amendment clarified conflicting and/or confusing language from the 2019 Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Regulations Update. Additionally, the ADU code section was re-organized to improve usability and all references to “Secondary Dwelling Units” were changed to “Accessory Dwelling Units” or “ADUs.” The Planning and Economic Development Commission recommended adoption of ZCA 20-004 in January 2021 and was adopted by the Town Council in March 2021.
• ZCA 20-005 – The Parcel: This amendment was processed together with the 2021 Parcel Master Plan update (DZA 20-001). The amendment was necessary in order to repeal the Affordable Housing (AH) Overlay Zone that previously applied to the Parcel site, and instead allow the 2021 Parcel Master Plan to serve as the sole zoning for the site. The Parcel Master Plan incorporates the affordability and land use requirements contained in the AH overlay zone, but provides additional

2021 Annual Planning Activities Report Page 8 of 32
flexibility intended to better achieve the goals and recommendations of the General Plan, the 2017 Community Housing Action Plan (CHAP), and the 2019 Preferred Conceptual Land Use Plan and expands the allowable land uses allowed on the site (e.g., community-serving commercial uses and limited market-rate units). The Planning and Economic Development Commission recommended adoption of ZCA 20-005 and DZA 20-001 in December 2020 and was adopted by the Town Council in January 2021.
• ZCA 21-001 – Senate Bill 9: This amendment implemented Senate Bill 9 which requires all local agencies to consider certain proposed two-unit projects and lot splits ministerially and allows residential property owners to split a single-family lot into two lots and place up to two units on each resulting lot. ZCA 21-001 was adopted by the Town Council in January 2022.

The Parcel
Land Use Element Goal L.2 directs the Town to “Substantially increase housing supply available to the workforce.” Action Item L.2.C.1 directs Town staff to develop a workforce housing strategy. Town Council adopted a Strategic Priority in December 2018, directing staff to focus work programs to “expand availability and affordability of community housing.”
The purchase of the “Shady Rest” parcel was determined to be a near-term action strategy in the 2017 Mammoth Lakes Community Housing Action Plan (CHAP). In an effort to implement the Community Housing Action Plan and facilitate the development of workforce housing as directed in General Plan Land Use Policy L.2.C, the Town purchased the +/- 25 acre “Shady Rest” parcel and escrow closed on the property in March 2018. The CHAP defined a near-term action strategy to pursue a community process of master planning the “Shady Rest” parcel (now referred to as The Parcel). In December 2019, Town Council accepted the Preferred Conceptual Land Use Plan that proposed up to 450 affordable workforce housing units.

In January 2021, the Parcel Master Plan was approved by the Town Council thereby establishing the regulatory framework for the build-out of the 25-acre site as an affordable housing development with up to 580 workforce housing units. Following the adoption of the Master Plan, a use permit authorizing double the site’s base density (allows up to 580 units) pursuant to the Town’s density bonus provisions and the Phase 1 design review entitlement were approved in February 2021. Phase 1 includes 81 apartment units (80 affordable and 1 manager’s unit), childcare space for up to 34 children, community space, and a 0.8-acre park. Tree removal and rough grading began in fall 2021 with the official groundbreaking ceremony taking place in November 2021.

The building permit for Phase 1 was issued in early 2022 and occupancy of Phase 1 is expected in fall 2023. The developer continues to pursue federal and state grant funding for subsequent phases of the Parcel and design review and construction of those phases will occur as funding is secured and committed.

Due to the Town’s ownership of the land and the desire to sell the land to the developer, the Town was required to follow the State Surplus Land Act (Government Code §54220, et seq.) process in order to sell the site. In accordance with the Surplus Land Act, the Town released a ‘Request for Bids for the Sale of Real Property and the Construction of Affordable Housing’ in December 2020 and received two bids for the project. After a review of the bids, the Town Council awarded the bid for the sale and construction of The Parcel to Pacific West Communities Inc. (PWC) in February 2021 and authorized a

ANNUAL PLANNING REPORT
January 1 – December 31, 2021
2021 Annual Planning Activities Report Page 9 of 32
Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) with PWC in April 2021. The DDA was executed by the Town and PWC in October 2021 and the sale of the Phase 1 development area is expected to take place in mid-2022 (the DDA allows for up to 450 units).

The issuance of the building permit for Phase 1 of the Parcel in early 2022 resulted in significant progress being made towards the satisfaction of the Town’s portion of the State Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for the current planning period.

Main Lodge Redevelopment
Following the completion of the land exchange with the USFS in 2020, Mammoth Mountain Ski Area (MMSA) began the planning process for the future redevelopment of the Main Lodge property. A concept review application was submitted in May 2021 requesting preliminary feedback from staff, the Planning and Economic Development Commission, and Town Council on the conceptual land use plan and project description.

Next steps include preparation of the required environmental documents (CEQA and NEPA) and processing the necessary entitlements for the project, which are anticipated to be submitted in 2022 and will include a specific plan, tentative map, design review, and use permit.

Other Large Planning Projects Submitted or Completed in 2021 • Sierra Nevada Redevelopment, Phase 1 (164, 202, and 248 Old Mammoth Road):

Rehabilitation of the existing Sierra Nevada Lodge and the addition of 30 resort cabin units. The project also required an amendment to the Clearwater Specific Plan (CSP) to allow the interim development of the site to occur while still preserving the allowances granted to the larger Old Mammoth Place project.

Submitted in November 2021 and approved in February 2022 • Limelight Hotel (Corner of Canyon Blvd and Lake Mary Rd): 151-room hotel and 15 for-sale residential units. Concept Review submitted in November 2020 followed by entitlement application in February 2022; Approved in May 2022 • Residence Inn by Marriott (150 and 94 Berner Street): 101-room branded hotel within the North Village Specific Plan area. Submitted in September 2021 and approved in April 2022
• Villas III (101 Callahan Way): 33-unit planned unit development within the Lodestar at Mammoth Master Plan area. Submitted in February 2021 and approved in May 2022
Community Indicators Report
Land Use Element Action Item L.1.A.2 directs the Town to prepare an annual Community Indicators Report to monitor the pace of growth and to plan for changing conditions. The Community Indicators Report format was developed in 2013 with the assistance of the Planning and Economic Development Commission and various stakeholders in the community. The purpose of the report is to educate residents, inform planning and other public resource allocation decisions, and attract new private capital to the community.

The report ties on-the-ground actions to previous visioning, planning, and high-level policies. The Town’s Planning staff prepared a Community Indicators Report for the 2020 calendar year, which was accepted by Town Council in August 2021. The 2021 Community Indicators Report will be presented to Town Council in August 2022.

Urban Growth Boundary
Land Use Goal L.6 directs the Town to maintain its Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) to ensure a compact urban form, prevent sprawl, protect natural and outdoor recreational resources, and monitor development in terms of build-out in the General Plan. In Accordance with General Plan Land Use Policy L.6.E, the Town continues to monitor and coordinate with Mammoth Mountain Ski Area (MMSA) regarding its Land Exchange with the U.S. Forest Service which was completed in March 2020.

The Community Design Element states: “Our community is set within the forest; trees and the natural landscape are prominent and create a sense of scale and strong aesthetic.” The intent statement for this element states that Mammoth Lakes will develop as a village in the trees, and that development will be planned to visually connect with the natural surroundings by accentuating existing Jeffrey pine forest and manzanita/sage scrub and meadows. The Community Design Element also provides direction for the creation of public spaces and improvements to streetscapes.

Policy C.2.B. of the Community Design Element directs the Town to maximize opportunities for public spaces that support community interaction, including performance and arts spaces, and child activity centers through public-private partnerships.

One of the four Town Council Strategic Priorities that apply to the 2021 reporting period includes “Enhance a sustainable recreation economy with partnerships and investment.” A specific objective identified under this priority includes direction to fund construction of the multi-use recreational facility (year-round recreation center) and to define the site, plans and phasing for the project.

In February 2021, Town Council awarded the contract to build the Community Recreation Center (CRC) at Mammoth Creek Park West to Hamel Contacting Inc. The CRC will be a Sprung Performance Arena containing an Olympic size ice rink in the winter and the 20,000 square foot Mammoth RecZone sport court in the summer. The CRC will be the major recreation amenity at Mammoth Creek West Park that will also include a natural play area, 7,700 square foot inclusive playground, and a new minor-mobility hub with parking for up to 118 vehicles along with electric vehicle charging stations and access to the Town’s trail and transit systems. Groundbreaking occurred in April 2021 and site grading and foundation work was completed prior to the winter suspension in November.

Goal C.3. of the Community Design Element calls for the Town to provide safe and attractive public spaces, including sidewalks, trails, parks and streets. To implement the policies and actions of this Element, the Town continues to work on projects that will create significant public spaces and incorporates the oversight of an Advisory Design Panel (ADP) and/or Planning and Economic Development Commission (PEDC) Design Committee to review site design, building massing and architecture of proposed development projects. In 2021, the PEDC Design Committee met two (2) times and reviewed three (3) projects. The ADP met one (1) time to review one (1) project.

Neighborhood and District Character Element
The Neighborhood and District Character Element states: “To enhance the unique character of Mammoth Lakes, development of individual sites and districts must be carefully planned…the community’s overall mix and composition of land uses, housing, employment, lodging and amenities should be considered in the planning of each district.” In 2021, the Town continued to apply the Town wide Neighborhood District Planning document, which integrates all the neighborhood district plans into a single comprehensive document. The Town wide document continues to facilitate the overall planning and implementation of specific policies and actions contained in the individual district plans. The comprehensive 2014 Zoning Code Update codified the recommendations of the Neighborhood District Plans into development and land use standards to facilitate implementation.

Circulation Element – Mobility Element
An update to the Mobility Element of the 2007 General Plan was adopted by Town Council in December 2016. The intent statement for the Element states, “The Mobility Element establishes the Town’s goals, policies, and actions necessary to achieve a progressive and comprehensive multi-modal transportation system that serves the needs of residents, employees, and visitors in a way that is connected, accessible and safe.” Public Works projects underway in 2021 that implement the Mobility Element are described below.

The Public Works and Engineering Work program for 2021 aligned with the Town Council Strategic Priority directing new investment in capital infrastructure, improvements, and maintenance. The Council’s objectives included the following:
• Invest in pavement rehabilitation, replacement, and expansion (roads, MUPs, sidewalks, and parks). At a minimum, complete MUP rehabilitation and prepare for the next road rehabilitation project.
• Implement the Airport Capital Improvement Program (ACIP) with near term projects under construction (airport ramp, safety elements, and pavement improvements).
• Focused implementation of the CIP that supports facilities to advance approved/accepted Town Plans with projects and to define “all-in” costs for complete projects.

Mobility Hub Study
Work continued on a Mobility Hub Study in 2021. The project is an SB1 funded Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Program that was awarded to the Town by Caltrans in 2018. The Mobility Hub Study will evaluate and inventory existing conditions, estimate future demand, and plan for district parking with coordinated transit stops and facilities for bicyclists and pedestrians. The study enhance access to a variety of personalcar-alternative mobility services.

Streets
The Town continued to perform annual maintenance on Old Mammoth Road through the Old Mammoth Road Benefit Assessment District. Work includes the replacement of curb

ANNUAL PLANNING REPORT
January 1 – December 31, 2021
2021 Annual Planning Activities Report Page 12 of 32
and gutter, sidewalk panel replacements, and landscaping cleanup adjacent to Old Mammoth Road.

The Town held meetings with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans – District 9) and works jointly with Mono County to provide staff services to the Mono County Local Transportation Commission (LTC).

The Town road crew provided stop gap and seasonal maintenance of the Town’s streets, signs, and drainage systems. This included restriping all the Town’s streets, replacement of damaged signs, and clearing the Town’s culverts and dry wells. Additionally, the Town began replacing all street name signs with MUTCD compliant signs.

Pedestrian Facilities and Trails
Trails accomplishments for the summer of 2021 included the deployment of the Host Program staff to key public access nodes, planning and design for the Shady Rest Inyo Crater (SRIC) Off Highway Vehicle Planning Grant, replacement of a bridge on the Horseshoe Lake Loop, construction of new trail segments in the Lakes Basin with volunteers and staff, the Lower Rock Creek Trail causeway, new signage, tree removal, and public communications.

Reds Meadow
The partner agencies involved with the Red’s Meadow Road project continued to review and revise the plans for the reconstruction of the road. CD plans were completed in 2020 with construction scheduled to start in 2023.

Air Service
In the beginning of 2021, there was no commercial or scheduled charter air service to Mammoth Yosemite Airport (MMH) due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In November 2021, scheduled charter air service returned to MMH with service provided by Advanced Airlines.

Advanced Airlines currently provides flights to Burbank (BUR), Carlsbad (CLD), and Hawthorne (HHR). Commercial air service, which had been suspended since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, was relocated to the Bishop airport in December 2021. The goal of relocating commercial air service to Bishop was to reduce the number of weather cancellations that MMH would experience during the winter months. Mammoth Lakes Tourism (MLT) continue to support and market the commercial air service, despite its relocation to Bishop. Although there was no commercial or charter service for the majority of 2021, MMH remained open, and staff continued to support firefighting, emergency response, snow removal, and general aviation.

During 2021, there were two capital improvement projects at the airport. The Security Gates and Terminal Area Fencing project included construction of a new 8-foot-tall chain link fence along a portion of the north side of the airport, with two single cantilever gates for vehicles, one pedestrian gate, and a new security camera system. Construction began in August 2021 and is substantially complete with minor work to continue into 2022. The Reconstruct East General Aviation Apron project included the reconstruction of 211,000 square feet of asphalt surface, known as the East General Aviation Apron. The East General Aviation Apron is located to the southwest of the terminal building. Construction work included grading, drainage, paving, paint markings, and new tie downs.

Construction began in July 2021 and was completed in September 2021.

2021 Annual Planning Activities Report Page 13 of 32
The Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed Terminal Area Development Project (TADP) were completed in 2021.

The Town received Airport Improvement Program Grant No. 40 from the FAA in 2019 to update the Airport Layout Plan (ALP). Staff continues to work with the FAA and consultants to complete the update.

Staff continues to work with Inyo County, Mono County, Eastern Sierra Council of Governments, Caltrans, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on enhancing regional air service and transportation. These efforts include the likelihood of a planning grant offered by the FAA to facilitate a regional assessment of airports and air service in the Eastern Sierra Region.

Public Transit
The Town continues to contract with Eastern Sierra Transit Authority (ESTA) to provide community transit services, which are funded with committed Transient Occupancy Tax revenues and dedicated transit funding. These services provide over 15,000 service hours annually.

Open Space Elements
Two elements in the 2007 General Plan address open space. These elements are Parks, Open Space and Recreation, and Resource Management and Conservation. The Parks, Open Space and Recreation Element states: “Parks, open space, and our recreational opportunities in Mammoth Lakes are critical to our residents and to the success of our tourism-based economy.”
Adopted by Town Council in February 2012, the Parks and Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) assists in implementing the Parks and Recreation element and guides the development and improvement of a system of parks and recreation facilities to serve the recreational needs of Mammoth Lakes’ residents and visitors. As stated in the PRMP, the parks and recreation vision is to “provide multi-purpose, year-round, indoor and outdoor recreation opportunities accessible to all residents and visitors.” The fundamental purpose of the Parks and Recreation Department is to deliver residents and visitors with high-quality recreation facilities and diverse programming that promotes excitement, individual expression, exploration, pleasure, challenge and accomplishment that can lead to an improved quality of life. By providing opportunities for these interactions and connections to occur, the department is directly contributing to the development of strong families, social equity, an enriched quality of life and most importantly, a healthy and vibrant community.

Parks and Recreation Strategic Workplan
Accepted by the Recreation Commission in February 2021, the annual workplan was developed to strategically guide the department and Recreation Commission in fulfilling the shared vision and mission for community recreation. The strategies for 2021 are aligned with the Town Council 18-Month Strategic Priorities and the Parks and Recreation Master Plan.

The five core strategies and goals that were accepted by the Recreation Commission are as follows:

Recreation Programming
The COVID-19 pandemic has been an unprecedented challenge and major disruption to our way of life for both our residents and visitors. The pandemic highlighted – and continues to highlight – what has been true for many years: parks and recreation provides essential services and infrastructure critical for the physical and mental well-being and resilience of our community.

It is well documented that having access to quality parks and recreation services improves physical and mental health, reduces crime and violence, increases access to healthy foods, drives community connection and boosts economic activity. It is the mission of the parks and recreation department to provide multi-purpose, year-round, indoor and outdoor recreation opportunities accessible to all residents and visitors.

Although the continued COVID-19 pandemic restricted programming to outdoor activities, the department returned to in-person programming in July and August with many of our popular summer camps (Mammoth Sampler Camps, Mountain Biking Camps, Aquatics Camps, Climbing Camps, Explorer Mini Camps, Wave Rave Skateboarding

TOWN OF MAMMOTH LAKES

ANNUAL PLANNING REPORT
January 1 – December 31, 2021
2021 Annual Planning Activities Report Page 15 of 32
Camps, Soccer Camps, Lego Camps and Youth theatre). New youth programs, including Treasure Hunter Camps and Fly-Fishing Camps, in addition to the Fall Bike Squad and Toddler Fitness Time, were well received. Department support enabled all local youth sport organizations to operate within COVID-19 guidelines, and the return of the Adult Softball leagues was a welcome addition during the summer.

Recreation Facilities
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the physical and mental health benefits of outdoor recreation. Whitmore Recreation Area, Shady Rest Park and the Multi-Use Paths remained open space for passive use, enabling the community to recreate responsibly and safely.

The Mammoth Ice Rink operated with limited guest capacity during the 2020/21 season (8,032 visits), however the Whitmore Pool was able to resume regular operations in summer 2021 (5,773 visits). Fall 2021 saw the installation of an addition eighteen (18) amateur tee pads at the Shady Rest Disc Golf Park, funded by the community and the Adopt-A-Hole program.

Deferred Maintenance
The Town continues to operate and maintain all Town owned and managed parks and recreation facilities, including Mammoth Creek Park, Community Center Park and Tennis Courts, Shady Rest Park, and Whitmore Recreation Area. In 2021, a total of $21,953.07 of deferred maintenance work was completed.

Deferred maintenance continued at the Whitmore Pool in 2021 with the purchase of new pool covers for the kiddie pool. Also completed in 2021 was the replacement of batting cage netting at Whitmore Ball Field 3, in addition to the replacement of pressure tanks and the repair of the well pump at the Whitmore Recreation Area.

Community Recreation Center
In February 2021, Town Council awarded the contract to build the new Community Recreation Center (CRC) at Mammoth Creek Park West to Hamel Contracting Inc. The CRC will be a Sprung Performance Arena enclosing an Olympic size ice rink that will operate in the winter and in the summer, durable sport tiles will cover the rink area creating a 20,000 square foot Mammoth RecZone. Combined with community-driven and professionally branded programming, the new year-round facility operated by the Parks and Recreation Department will be a game-changer for recreation in Mammoth Lakes.

The CRC will be the major recreation amenity at Mammoth Creek Park that includes three complementary components: the natural play area, a National Demonstration Site 7,700 sq. ft. inclusive playground, and the new minor-mobility hub with parking for up to 118 vehicles along with electric vehicle charging stations and convenient access to the Town’s expansive trails system.

Members of the Mammoth Lakes Town Council, the Planning and Economic Development Commission (PEDC), the Recreation Commission, Town staff, and the Mammoth Stars celebrated a COVID-19 friendly groundbreaking for the CRC in April 2021 at Mammoth Creek Park.

Hamel Contracting Inc. made great progress on the site throughout summer, completing the ice rink slab, perimeter foundations and the placement of concrete for all the support and operational spaces. The site was placed on winter suspension in November 2021,

with work planned to resume in the spring of 2022 coinciding with the arrival of the Sprung Structure.

Special Use Taxes
The Measure R or “Mammoth Lakes Recreation, Trails and Parks Investment Initiative” Ordinance No. 08-01 was adopted by the Mammoth Lakes Town Council in February 2008 and approved by the voters of Mammoth Lakes in June 2008. The Ordinance imposed a Transactions and Use Tax in the amount of one-half percent for the purpose of funding Recreation, Trails and Parks. Measure R is a special fund designated for use by the Town of Mammoth Lakes only for the planning, construction, operation, maintenance, programming and administration of all trails, parks and recreation facilities managed by the Town of Mammoth Lakes without supplanting existing parks and recreation facility maintenance funds. Recommendations for the use of Measure R funds are determined by Mammoth Lakes Recreation and presented to Town Council for approval.

Measure R projects completed in 2021 include:
• Measure R audit
• Whitmore Track/Trails End Park maintenance
• Whitmore Track and Sports Field Sports Equipment
• Mammoth Lakes Recreation administration
• Trails administration and projects
The Measure U or “Mammoth Lakes Mobility, Recreation and Arts & Culture Utility Users Tax Ordinance” was adopted by the Mammoth Lakes Town Council in March 2010 and approved by the voters of the Town of Mammoth Lakes in June 2010. The Ordinance states: “On or after July 1, 2011 all proceeds of the tax and imposed hereunder shall be accounted for and paid into a special fund designated for use by the Town of Mammoth Lakes, and used only for the following purposes: Planning, construction, operation, maintenance, programming and administration of facilities and projects for Mobility, Recreation and Arts & Culture. Such tax proceeds shall not supplant existing funds used for the purposes set forth above.” Recommendations for the use of Measure U funds are determined by Mammoth Lakes Recreation and presented to Town Council for approval.

Measure U projects completed in 2021 include:
• Special event transit services
• Arts and cultural programming and special projects
• Contract administration
• Measure U audit
• Special event equipment
• Mammoth Lakes Recreation administration
Conservation Elements
Two elements in the 2007 General Plan address conservation. These elements are Resource Management and Conservation and Arts, Culture, Heritage and Natural History.

TOWN OF MAMMOTH LAKES

ANNUAL PLANNING REPORT
January 1 – December 31, 2021
2021 Annual Planning Activities Report Page 17 of 32
Resource Management and Conservation Element
The Resource Management and Conservation Element states: “Mammoth Lakes is valued for its majestic setting, the forest and trees, the smell of the pines, wildlife, clean air and water. The goals and policies of this Element address the community of Mammoth Lakes being a leader in managing and conserving these resources.” The Town continues to support the preservation of Mammoth Creek, which runs through town, by prohibiting development that does not maintain established setbacks and by managing Town-owned properties along Mammoth Creek for open space, habitat preservation, and passive recreation.

In accordance with the Town Council’s Strategic Priority to “enhance our recreational based economy through amenity investment,” the following work program items were accomplished in 2021:
• The Town funded a Community Host program to help residents and visitors recreate responsibly.
• A pilot program was approved by USFS to groom a trail at the Sherwins Trailhead. • A new Winter Recreation Map was developed along with a year-round trail conditions page that is updated in real-time highlighting current trail conditions, maintenance activities, seasonal closures, winter grooming and avalanche forecasts.
• Over 130 volunteers from the “Summer of Trail Days” constructed over 1 mile of new trail in the Lakes Basin, installed 8 New “Adopt A Trail” signs, and collected hundreds of pounds of trash in the Lakes Basin.
• Trail Maintenance crews and volunteers rebuilt a bridge on the Horseshoe Lake Loop.

These accomplishments made progress towards meeting the Town Council’s objectives for this Strategic Priority, which includes enhancing the public’s experience with improved access points to the natural environment and utilizing partnerships with Mammoth Lakes Recreation, Mono County, U.S. Forest Service, and the Eastern Sierra Sustainable Recreation Partnership to identify grant funded projects and programs that should be pursued.

Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment
As part of the SB1 Climate Adaptation Planning Grant awarded to the Town in 2017, The Town contracted Placeworks, Inc., to prepare a Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment.

The Vulnerability Assessment identifies and analyzes the impacts climate change poses to the Town and the specific geographic areas at risk from certain impacts. The Vulnerability Assessment informed the preparation of climate adaptation goals, policies, and objectives, as well as the development of feasible implementation measures. The adaptation strategies were adopted as part of the 2019 Public Health and Safety Element update.

This project furthers Resource Management and Conservation Element Goal R.1. of the Element, which directs the Town to “Be stewards of habitat, wildlife, fisheries, forests and vegetation resources of significant biological, ecological, aesthetic and recreational value.” The tourism-based economy of Mammoth Lakes relies on its scenic qualities and world-class recreational opportunities, and some of these assets were considered in the

TOWN OF MAMMOTH LAKES

ANNUAL PLANNING REPORT
January 1 – December 31, 2021
2021 Annual Planning Activities Report Page 18 of 32
Vulnerability Assessment, and the Town adopted recommended adaptation strategies in order to lessen identified impacts to these resources.

Stormwater Resource Plan
The Town is an active member of the Inyo-Mono Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (IRWMP) and has a Stormwater Resource Plan (SWRP). The SWRP provides a regional prioritization of stormwater management projects that qualifies agencies for participation in Prop 1 Funding.

Waste Management/ Recycling
In 2020, Town Council approved a new Solid Waste Franchise Agreement between the Town and Mammoth Disposal Company. The Agreement allows Mammoth Disposal to provide all solid waste collection and processing services on behalf of the Town for 20 years. This includes addressing the disposal of solid waste after the closure of Benton Crossing Landfill at the end of 2022. The new Agreement will provide for increased solid waste disposal services and improved recycling services for customers in Mammoth Lakes. To accommodate future solid waste disposal needs, Mammoth Disposal will be upgrading and constructing a new transfer station for solid waste and a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) for recyclables. Reconfiguration and renovation of the existing site to accommodate the new facilities and improve circulation began in 2021 and the renovated facility is expected to be operational prior to January 1, 2023.

The Town continues to meet regularly with CalRecycle on a variety of solid waste and recycling issues. In 2021, the Town was awarded a Beverage Container Recycling Grant from CalRecycle for $247,500. This grant will help to increase beverage container recycling by installing approximately 100 bear-proof beverage container recycling bins and multi-family housing complexes and other public locations. The grant will also fund the purchase and installation of a 96-gallon bear-proof beverage container rolling cart compatible with an automated recycling truck; fund the purchase of a new sort line at Mammoth Disposal’s Buy Back Center; and provide education and outreach through a multimedia campaign.

Work continued on a feasibility study for a potential biomass facility which was facilitated through a U.S. Forest Service Wood Innovations Grant.

The Town held its annual Town Clean-Up Day in May 2021; however, due to the COVID19 pandemic and a spring snowstorm, the 2021 edition was smaller scale than years past. The Town provided a drop-off station for the collection of large/bulky items, metal objects, green waste, food waste, hazardous household waste, and recyclable materials.

In total, 21.17 tons of waste was collected, which was a decrease from 102.31 tons of waste material collected when Town Clean-Up Day was last held in 2019.

Tree Removal Permits
Planning staff continues to implement the Town’s Tree Removal and Protection Ordinance by requiring property owners obtain a Tree Removal Permit for the removal of live trees that are 12 inches or greater in diameter at breast height. In 2021, 70 tree removal permits were processed with a small number of those permits being denied because the minimum criteria for removal was not met. The top three reasons specified on the tree removal permit requests include the removal of hazard trees, trees causing property damage, and tree removal for wildfire fuel reduction purposes.

TOWN OF MAMMOTH LAKES

ANNUAL PLANNING REPORT
January 1 – December 31, 2021
2021 Annual Planning Activities Report Page 19 of 32
Air Quality
The Town monitors air quality in coordination with the Great Basin Unified Air Pollution Control District (GBUAPCD). This monitoring effort focuses on particulate matter (PM10), which is primarily caused by wood burning and cinders spread on roads to increase traction during icy conditions. During the period of November 15th to March 15th, the Town monitors the air quality and when PM10 reaches certain levels in town, “no-burn” days are called, meaning that the use of fireplaces and wood stoves are prohibited for that time period.

The Great Basin Unified Air Pollution Control District (District) provides the Town an annual report in May of each year that summarizes the air quality measurements recorded by the district during the monitoring period (Mid-March through Mid-March of the following year) and identifies any exceedances of the State and Federal PM10 standards. In 2021, the Federal PM10 standard was exceeded on zero (0) days and the State PM10 standard was exceeded on five (4) days. All of the exceedances except for one State exceedance were due to wildfire smoke impacts. In August, the Town was impacted by the Dixie and Caldor Fires. In mid-September through early October the Town was impacted by the KNP Complex Fire located in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. The single-non-wildfire State exceedance occurred in December 2021 and was analyzed and deemed to be caused by local sources, primarily wood-burning stoves, though road cinders may have had a minor contributing impact.

An update to the Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) was completed in 2013, and the Town continues to implement the goals and policies of that Plan. As part of the AQMP update process, the Town and the GBUAPCD requested the EPA re-designate the Town as in attainment for the federal air quality standard for particulate matter less than 10 microns (PM10). EPA found that the Town has met the federal standard since 2009 and the EPA formally re-designated the Town as in compliance in 2015. The Town had been designated non-attainment for PM10 since 1987. In addition to the re-designation, the EPA also approved the Mammoth Lakes air quality maintenance plan, which demonstrates that compliance with air quality standards can be maintained through 2030.

Outdoor Lighting
Mammoth Lakes’ dark night skies are an important resource to the community and local wildlife. These starry skies continue to be preserved through the Town’s Outdoor Lighting Ordinance, which requires exterior lighting to be downward directed and shielded. This requirement significantly reduces dangerous glare for drivers and pedestrians and helps preserve the dark skies for wildlife and residents. The Town continues to require all development projects to be consistent with these lighting requirements and continues code compliance efforts to bring non-conforming fixtures into compliance with the Town’s Lighting Ordinance.

Arts, Culture, Heritage and Natural History Element
The Arts, Culture, Heritage and Natural History Element states: “It is important that arts, culture, heritage and natural history are encouraged throughout the community.” One of the Town Council’s Strategic Priorities directs various work programs and funding to “Enhance our recreational based economy through amenity investment.” Specific objectives are identified to assist with accomplishing this priority including finalizing an

TOWN OF MAMMOTH LAKES

ANNUAL PLANNING REPORT
January 1 – December 31, 2021
2021 Annual Planning Activities Report Page 20 of 32
agreement with the Mammoth Lakes Foundation for the Mammoth Arts & Cultural Center (MACC) operational funding to be provided through Measure U.

The MACC is an indoor performing arts and cultural center and has been a desired project of the Town for many years. The project consists of a new performing arts theatre, improvements to the existing Edison Theatre, and creation of new access, circulation, and parking. In 2021, discussions continued between the Town and Mammoth Lakes Foundation (MLF) with regards to moving the project forward to construction, but it remains unknown when construction will actually commence.

Measure U funds are specifically dedicated for recreation, mobility, and arts and culture.

CEQA requires a cultural resource analysis for all proposed projects. Mitigation measures are identified for each project to reduce impacts to cultural resources. The Town also complies with Senate Bill 18 and Assembly Bill 52 regarding Native American Tribal consultation.

Noise Elements
Noise is addressed in two elements of the 2007 General Plan. These elements are Noise (1997) and Community Design.

Noise Element
A goal of the Noise Element is “To protect the citizens of the Town from the harmful and annoying effects of exposure to excessive noise.”
The Town continues to enforce the noise limits stated in Municipal Code §8.16 Noise Regulation. An update of the Noise Element and the Noise Ordinance is included on the Community and Economic Development Work Program, but a start date and funding source has not been established.

Community Design Element
A goal of the Community Design Element states, “Enhance community character by minimizing noise.”
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a noise analysis for all proposed development projects that are not exempt from CEQA review. Mitigation measures are identified for each project to reduce noise impacts. The Town includes these project specific mitigation measures as conditions of approval for the project to reduce noise impacts. Nuisance complaints related to noise are handled by continued enforcement through the Mammoth Lakes Police Department and the Town Code Compliance staff.

Safety Element – Public Health and Safety Element
The Public Health and Safety Element states: “The community will be comfortable and safe. Facilities that are important to a livable community will be supported, provided, and encouraged.”
In 2021, the Mammoth Lakes Police Department was awarded two major grants. The first grant award provided $23,832 from the California Off-Highway Motor Vehicle (OHV)

TOWN OF MAMMOTH LAKES

ANNUAL PLANNING REPORT
January 1 – December 31, 2021
2021 Annual Planning Activities Report Page 21 of 32
Recreation Program for equipment purchases and wages for OHV patrols. During summer 2021, 406 miles of trails were patrolled, resulting in 74 OHV rider and dispersed camper interactions and the issuance of five warnings. In addition, several dispersed campers were moved from illegal sites and were advised about illegal campfires. The goal of the OHV program is to provide safety and education for residents and visitors and to reduce intrusion into the wilderness and other protected areas. The second grant award provided $344.273 from the California Department of Justice Tobacco Grant program. The grant provides program funding for the next three years for a full-time school resource officer and aims to reduce illegal tobacco sales to minors through retail enforcement.

Additionally in 2021, the Police Department launched DocuPet, a new online dog licensing portal.

The Town continues to enforce building code requirements to minimize loss of life, injury, and property damage from snow, earthquakes, and fire. The Town also continues to work closely with the Mammoth Lakes Fire Protection District to review proposed development projects to ensure adequate emergency access and fire equipment access. The Town continues to respond to code compliance complaints including those related to potential safety issues. Additionally, the Town’s snow removal operations are essential to the safety, wellbeing, and daily operations of the Community. The Town’s Public Works Department prioritizes streets for snow clearing to maintain safe routes during snowstorms.

Staff continues to enforce the Quality-of-Life Ordinance, adopted in 2015, to ensure that transient rental uses do not create adverse impacts to neighboring properties due to excessive traffic, noise, trash, and similar issues and to ensure that the number of occupants within such rental units do not exceed the design capacity of the structure or cause health and safety concerns. This ordinance requires any new transient use within a residential structure to be inspected prior to the commencement of the transient use.

The inspection verifies compliance with the standards and conditions of operation outlined in the Ordinance and ensures compliance with all applicable safety requirements.

All development project applicants are required to submit a Hazardous Waste Acknowledgement Form to disclose any hazardous materials information prior to project review and approval. In addition, the Town maintains an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) that outlines how the Town will organize to respond to emergencies within the Town’s jurisdiction. In 2021, EOP training continued for all Town staff with a designated roll in EOP operations.

Economy Element
The Economy Element in the 2007 General Plan is an optional Element (not required by California State Law) that states: “Mammoth Lakes’ economy is tourismbased…Mammoth Lakes’ economic sustainability is dependent upon the mountain resort, expanded employment opportunities, shoulder season and midweek occupancy, air service and many other components of the community.”
The Town Council’s Strategic Priority objective related to the economy calls for “Investment in Capital infrastructure, new investment, improvements, and maintenance.” The Town continues to track economic indicators for changes that may affect community land resources, tax base, including Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT), and employment base. In 2021, the Town continued its TOT enforcement program and

TOWN OF MAMMOTH LAKES

ANNUAL PLANNING REPORT
January 1 – December 31, 2021
2021 Annual Planning Activities Report Page 22 of 32
initiated 70 TOT compliance cases. Total TOT revenue increased approximately 60% in 2021 after a decrease in revenues related to COVID-19 in 2020. TOT revenue collection remained strong during the months rental operations were allowed, including record breaking TOT revenue collection during the months of March, April, May, June, July, October, November, and December.

As part of the implementation of the Town Council’s Strategic Priority mentioned above, a portion of the excess TOT revenue was allocated to ensure the long-term health and resiliency of the Town by investing in the Town’s reserve funds. • The Operating Reserve (OR) Fund target is 5% of the General Fund budgeted revenue determined on an annual basis. The status of the fund is 100% funded to target.
• The Reserve for Economic Uncertainty (REU) target is 20% of General Fund Budgeted revenue determined on an annual basis. Status of this fund is 100% funded to target.

The Mammoth Lakes Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID) is a benefit assessment district that was developed to help fund marketing and sales promotion efforts for Mammoth Lakes tourism businesses. The TBID was put in place for a period of five years and was renewed for another five years in 2018. The term of the renewed TBID will be in place for five (5) years from September 1, 2018 through August 31, 2023.

A Commercial Cannabis Tax Ballot measure was approved by the voters in the June 2018, General Municipal Election ballot. The approved measure read, “To fund general Town core services such as police, recreation, and road maintenance, shall an ordinance be adopted to impose a business license tax of up to 8% for cannabis retail businesses and up to 4% for all other cannabis businesses (cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, testing), to raise an estimated $99,550-$261,708 per year, levied until voters change or repeal it.” A total of $165,798 was collected from this tax in 2021, which is an approximately 20% reduction from the $137,667 collected in 2020.

The Economy Element includes several implementation items that relate to Mammoth Yosemite Airport operations, including seeking Federal funding for airport improvements, upgrading the airport terminal, updating the Airport Master Plan and working with the FAA to evaluate the development of Mammoth Yosemite Airport.

A Strategic Priority adopted by Town Council calls for the “implementation of enhanced and required municipal services.” A specific objective for accomplishing this priority calls for the Implementation of the Airport Capital Improvement Program (ACIP) with near term projects targeted for construction within an 18-month period.

The Town continued to work towards the implementation of the Airport Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP) and submitted pre-applications for the 2021 Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funding program for projects including Reconstruct East General Aviation Apron. Airport Capital Reserve funds are available for capital investment. To leverage these funds, the Town plans to use funds as a grant match with FAA funds on major airport projects.

In 2021, staff continued the preparation of necessary CEQA and NEPA documents for the

Town’s proposed Terminal Area Development Plan project.

At the beginning of 2021, there was no commercial or scheduled charter air service to Mammoth Yosemite Airport (MMH) due to COVID-19. In November 2021, scheduled charter air service returned to MMH with service provided by Advanced Airlines. Advanced Airlines and providing flights to Burbank (BUR), Carlsbad (CLD), and Hawthorne (HHR).

Commercial service did not return to MMH in 2021 but United Airlines did begin commercial service to Bishop in December 2021.

Housing Element
Housing element law requires local governments to adequately plan to meet the existing and projected housing needs of all economic segments of the community and requires all Housing Elements meet the requirements of the California Government Code sections 65583 and 65584. The Town’s 6th cycle Housing Element was adopted in 2019 and covers the 8-year planning period of 2019-2027.2
The following summarizes the Town's progress to achieving the programs identified in the adopted Housing Element. A complete summary of the Town's progress is included as Attachment 1, 2021 Mammoth Lakes Hosing Element Annual Progress Report.3 The top Town Council Strategic Priority for 2021 directs staff to, “Expand availability and affordability of community housing.” Progress made in 2021 towards this priority and the defined objectives is summarized below:
• Initial planning for “The Parcel” shall be complete and ready to proceed to development and funding through the development of a community-based master plan. (Action H.1.F.1)
o The Parcel Master Plan was adopted by Town Council in January 2021. The updated Master Plan provides the framework for development. o The Town Council made a determination that the Parcel was ‘exempt surplus land’ pursuant to Government Code §54221(f)(1)(A) in April 2021, thereby allowing the Town to enter into a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) with the Town’s development partner for the project, Pacific West Companies, Inc (PWC).
o The building permit for Phase 1 (80 affordable units and 1 manager’s unit) was submitted in October 2021. The permit was issued in early 2022. o The official ‘ground breaking’ ceremony took place in November 2021. o The Town was awarded and/or dedicated the following funding in 2021 for the Parcel: (1) the Town and PWC submitted an application to the State 2 The change in the Housing Element update cycle from a 5-year cycle to an 8-year cycle was implemented by CA Senate Bill 375 (SB-375) and is intended to align land use planning for housing with land use planning for greenhouse gas reduction. The RHNA sets local housing and zoning goals to support future growth and these local goals are in turn aggregated into a region-wide Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS) to fairly allocate greenhouse gas emission reduction targets across the region. SB-375 requires consistency between the RHNA and the region-wide SCS, and the consistency is achieved through the implementation of the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The Mono County RTP was last updated in 2019, shortly after the adoption of the Town’s Housing Element. 3 The 2021 Mammoth Lakes Housing Element Annual Progress Report was submitted to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on March 31, 2022, using the standardized reporting format required by Government Code §65400(a)(2)(B)(ii). The data contained in the report to HCD is then subsequently uploaded within a reasonable timeframe to the State Housing Element Implementation and APR Data Dashboard.

Housing Accelerator Program for $38.6M (this was awarded in January 2022); and (2) $2.2M in local funds towards Phases 1 and 2. This is in addition to the $21.6M that has previously been committed to the Parcel from various grant programs and Town sources. The Town and PWC are continuing to pursue additional grant programs for future phase funding, in addition to the funding that the Town continues to set aside for the project.
• The Town and MLH launched the Bridge program in 2021 to acquire market-rate units that are then resold to local workforce households at an affordable price.

Two units were acquired in 2021 and three additional units were acquired in early 2022. Two of the five units have been resold to local workforce households and the remaining three units are being marketed for sale.
• The Town purchased a vacant 0.20-acre site in 2021 and began the procurement process to bring on a design-build entity to construct a 4-unit planned unit development (PUD) The completed units will be sold at an affordable price with a deed-restriction in place to ensure the long-term affordability of the units.

Construction on this project is expected to begin in 2022.

The Town continued to dedicate funding (including allocation of Transient Occupancy Tax monies) in support of affordable and workforce housing programs (Action H.2.A.1). In 2021, the following programs and entities were funded:
• Mammoth Lakes Housing, Inc. (MLH), operating under a contract with the Town, continued to receive funding from the Town to support their work. MLH was established by the Town in 2003 to acquire and develop reasonably priced housing for the resident worker population of Mammoth Lakes, and to manage and facilitate the ownership and rental of such housing. MLH has successfully rehabilitated and preserved numerous income-restricted housing units in coordination with the Town and other organizations such as IMACA. • The Town committed $10.3M towards housing in 2021 to the following programs and projects:
o $1.5M towards creative housing solutions (i.e., public/private partnerships, conversion of units to affordable)
o $3M towards small-site affordable housing development projects (i.e., 60 Joaquin Rd)
o $1.5M towards MLH’s 238 Sierra Manor Road affordable housing project o $1.4M towards the Bridge Program (conversion of market-rate to affordable)
o $2.2M towards the Parcel Phases 1 and 2
o $700K towards future land acquisitions for affordable housing.

To assist in the inadvertent loss of deed-restricted units (Policy H.2.G), the Town and MLH achieved the following:
• The Town sent letters to the 25 deed restricted properties that the Town is tasked with monitoring in late-2021. Responses have been received from approximately 50% of the units and additional information was provided on a number of units that indicate the deed restrictions were rescinded. The Town continues to work with MLH to determine why the deed restrictions were rescinded. The goal of this

ANNUAL PLANNING REPORT

2021 Annual Planning Activities Report Page 25 of 32
work program item is to determine the status of all the Town deed-restricted units and work with MLH to oversee the monitoring during subsequent years. • In addition to the Town deed restricted units, MLH monitors approximately 40 deed restricted units on an annual basis.

The Town and MLH continue to pursue grant funds to support housing programs (Action H.2.A.2) and the following grant-related work was completed in 2021:
• The Town was awarded $700,000 in CDBG grant funding in 2018 for mortgage assistance and rehabilitation programs and $500,000 in HOME grant funding in 2017 for mortgage assistance. Both grants ended in July 2021 and resulted in a total of seven (7) loans for down-payment assistance totaling $745,500, which leveraged $1.3M of private investment for a total of $2.1M in local real estate investment. The Town applied for a new CDBG grant in 2021, but was not successful, and anticipates applying for new CDBG and HOME grants in 2022. • Mortgage assistance continues to be provided through the reinvestment of repaid BEGIN loan funds and one loan totaling $73,000 was made in 20201. Those funds in turn leveraged $292,000 of private investment for a total of $365,000 in local real estate investment.
• The Town was awarded $317,184 in CDBG funding allocated by the CARES Act in 2021. The Town initially intended to use the funds for a subsistence payment program (e.g., rental, mortgage, and utility payment assistance) for those financially impacted by COVID-19; however, due to low interest in the program, the Town has been working with the State to amend the scope of work to allow for the funding of improvements at a new public park in the Parcel. • The Town and PWC submitted a grant application for $38.6M in State Housing Accelerator funds for the Parcel. This was awarded in early-2022. (See highlights in the Town Council Strategic Priorities section above for additional details) In 2021, progress was made on the following work program items intended to increase the supply of workforce housing:
• MLH made progress towards construction on their 238 Sierra Manor Road project.

The project consists of a substantial rehabilitation and conversion of an existing commercial structure into 11 one-bedroom, low-income apartments. MLH and the Town continued to coordinate with the State on HOME and CDBG grants for the project. Standard Agreements with the State for both programs are expected to be executed in 2022 with construction beginning in 2023. • The Town adopted the Parcel Master Plan update in January 2021 and approved the entitlements for Phase 1. The building permit for the initial 81 units (80 of the units will qualify as affordable housing w/ AMI levels no higher than 80%) was submitted in late-2021 and was issued in early-2022. (See highlights in the Town Council Strategic Priorities section above for additional details) • The Town completed an update to the ADU regulations to improve the clarity and usability of the ADU regulations with the goal of increasing the local rental supply through the development of additional ADUs. The Town and MLH continued to work on an ADU incentive program aimed at increasing the local rental supply.

Some of the incentives being researched include pre-approved ADU plans, grant programs, and an amnesty program to bring unpermitted units into compliance.

In order to ensure accessibility and the provision of equal housing opportunities for all persons, the following was implemented and/or continued in 2021:
• MLH has established a relationship with Bishop Indian Legal Aid services to assist tenants and respond to substandard housing complaints. The Town’s Code Compliance Officer aids in investigating substandard housing complaints. (Action H.2.E.1; Action H.5.C.1)
• The Town continues to process applications at no cost to the applicants for Reasonable Accommodation to provide appropriate relief from development standards to might create a barrier to providing housing for a disabled or special needs person. (Action H.1.E.3)
• The Town requires that all new developments and rehabilitations of housing units meet the requirements of Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations (Building Code). (Action H.6.B.1)
• MLH and the Town continue to maintain information regarding fair housing practices on their websites and in the offices. (Action H.5.B.1) Additional 2021 housing related highlights:
• The Town continues to implement the mitigation requirements of the Housing Ordinance and the Town collected $46,000 in Housing Impact Mitigation Fees from the issuance of 37 residential building permits and 1 industrial service use permit.

An additional 15 new residential building permits were issues in 2021; however, those permits were either exempt from the housing mitigation requirements (e.g., ADU construction) or the developers utilized existing credits to satisfy their housing mitigation requirements that were provided in exchange for the donation of land for affordable housing purposes.
• The Town and MLH continue to monitor the annual apartment vacancy rate and enforce its condominium-conversion requirements pursuant to Municipal Code Section 17.52.110. Due to the ongoing low apartment vacancy rate (less than 1%), no condominium conversions have taken place in at least the last five years.

GOVERNMENTAL CONSTRAINTS TO

AFFORDABLE HOUSING
The Housing Element is required to analyze and identify potential government constraints to the production of affordable housing, and where possible, identify programs that will help to lessen these constraints. Examples of such constraints are government-imposed fees that contribute to the overall cost of housing production, development standards that make it more difficult or costly to develop, or review processes that add time and cost to housing development proposals.

Although some development standards, such as those for on-site parking, lot coverage, and setbacks may be more stringent than in other communities, they are appropriate in the town’s local context, particularly the need to deal with large amounts of snowfall.

The analysis of government constraints found that the Town’s permitting, development review, and fees represent actual staff costs and time to process applications and are not unduly restrictive to new residential development. The Town undertook a review of its development impact fees, including housing mitigation in-lieu fees, and as a result lowered fees substantially in 2015. Work began in 2021 on a new Housing Nexus Study and Development Impact Fee study and is expected to be completed in 2023.

The Town of Mammoth Lakes has a Reasonable Accommodation ordinance to help facilitate the construction of special facilities or features for persons with disabilities. The Community and Economic Development Division is committed to reviewing and processing applications for Reasonable Accommodation, at no cost, to provide appropriate relief from development standards that might create a barrier to providing housing for a disabled or special needs person.

Related to the elimination or reduction of government constraints to the production of affordable housing, the Town has completed the following zoning code amendments in recent years aimed at achieving this objective:
• The Town Council adopted an urgency ordinance in 2019 making amendments to the Municipal Code standards for Secondary Dwelling Units (“accessory dwelling units” or “ADUs”) to bring the Zoning Code into compliance with the State ADU laws. This amendment to the Zoning Code reduced governmental constraints applicable to building ADUs by further limiting certain development standards and approval requirements. Staff initiated a subsequent amendment in 2020 to the Town’s ADUs regulations with the goal of further reducing governmental constraints and improving the clarity and usability of the ADU regulations. This amendment was completed in 2021.
• Town staff completed an update to the Town Density Bonus Program in 2020, which included modifications to the General Plan and Zoning Code. Amendments to the Zoning Code regulations included implementing the revised Town Density Bonus Program and allowing for multi-family residential projects to obtain proportionately greater density bonuses in exchange for deed restricting a greater percentage of the base density units, up to a maximum of twice the base density.

This program update reduces governmental constraints by allowing for greater flexibility in the use of the Town density bonus and an allowance for smaller projects to qualify for the program. The minimum project size prior to the update

TOWN OF MAMMOTH LAKES

ANNUAL PLANNING REPORT
January 1 – December 31, 2021
2021 Annual Planning Activities Report Page 29 of 32
required a base density of at least five-units and the updated minimum project size allows for projects with a base density of at least two-units to qualify. • The Town initiated a zoning code amendment to implement Senate Bill 9 (SB 9) in December 2021. SB 9 requires local agencies consider certain proposed twounit projects and lot splits ministerially and allows residential property owners to split a single-family lot into two lots and place up to two units on each resulting lot. SB 9 was signed into law in September 2021 and became effective on January 1, 2022. The Town adopted an urgency ordinance in January 2022 to implement development standards related to SB 9. This amendment to implement SB 9 standards is intended to reduce governmental constraints applicable to building residential units by eliminating and/or reducing certain development standards (e.g., setbacks, density, parking, lot coverage, and height) and approval requirements (e.g., ministerial approval of urban lot splits).

Programs identified in the 2019-2027 Housing Element to reduce governmental constraints to housing production include:
• Policy H.4.A. Periodically review and update permit and development fees to ensure that they appropriately reflect the cost of processing applications and providing services to new development, without unduly increasing costs to build housing. The Town is required to conduct annual reviews of development impact fee expenditures, and has a goal of updating the development impact fees every five years.
• Policy H.4.B. Consider reduction or waiver of permit and development impact fees for projects that dedicate some or all of their units to affordable housing.

Consider waiving development impact fees only when significant impacts (e.g. circulation) can be avoided.
o Action H.4.B.1. Consider changes to the Development Impact Fee schedule to reduce or eliminate fees for developments in which at least five percent of units are affordable to extremely low-income households. To be eligible for reduced or waived fee, the units shall be affordable by affordability covenant. The waiving or reduction of service mitigation fees may also be considered when an alternative funding source is identified to pay these fees.
• Policy H.4.C. Ensure that the Zoning Code continues to meet State Law requirements and does not unduly restrict certain types of housing to be developed. The Town regularly reviews and updates to the Zoning Code to incorporate mandates and other appropriate revisions.
• Policy H.4.D. Continue to allow accessory dwelling units by right in all residential zones.
o Action H.4.D.1. Accessory dwelling units (ADU) can be an affordable housing option and can help meet the needs of many residents in the Town.

To ensure consistency with state law (Assembly Bill 2299/Senate Bill 1069 and Assembly Bill 494/Senate Bill 229) and implement community goals, the Town shall review standards and revise as necessary to facilitate the development of ADUs.
o Action H.4.D.2. Promote development of accessory dwelling units (ADU) by increasing awareness regarding the ability to create accessory dwelling units on single-family residential properties, exploring variances (e.g. side

yard setbacks) to make it easier to fit ADUs on some lots, and establishing a goal for a desired number of ADUs to be built. The Town will also offer incentives to develop ADUs in exchange for long-term rental contracts. • Policy H.4.E. Periodically review and update Town codes, ordinances, fee programs and procedures to ensure that they do not unduly constrain housing development, while ensuring development impacts are adequately mitigated through development impact fees and/or other appropriate measure(s). o Action H.4.E.1. Continue to monitor the Town’s DIF ordinance to assure that impact fees do not create an economic impediment that deters construction of housing needed to meet the Town’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation or workforce housing objectives. If an economic impediment is discovered, Council will take appropriate actions to mitigate it.
o Action H.4.E.2. To address constraints to the availability of long-term rental housing associated with short-term rentals the Town will establish a program identifying methods to mitigate the issue. Components of the program may include waiving fees for illegal short-term rentals owners who commit to restricting their properties as long-term rentals, creating an impact fee levied on short-term rentals that would go towards preserving or creating long-term rental housing, and conducting a nexus study to further study how short-term rentals are impacting the rest of the housing market.
• Policy H.4.F. Prioritize workforce and affordable housing when considering future development proposals relative to Town policies that limit overall population growth.

Additional information on the Town’s progress towards implementing the above-described policies and actions related to governmental constraints to affordable housing is included in Attachment 1, 2021 Mammoth Lakes Hosing Element Annual Progress Report.

2021 MAMMOTH LAKES Housing Element Annual Progress Report TABLE D - Program Implementation Status
Program Description Housing Programs Progress Report - Government Code Section 65583 Name of Housing Element
Program
Objective Timeframe in H.E. Status of Program Implementation H.1.A.1. Maintain an up to date, GIS-based inventory of potential sites available for future housingdevelopment, and provide this information toMammoth Lakes Housing, Inc. and prospectivedevelopers.

On-going • Contracts w/ GIS coordinator that works for both the Town and Mono County to keep the GIS databasefunctioning and up-to-date.• In 2021, the Town began the compilation of varioushousing related datasets into a central GIS database,including deed-restricted unit locations, existingapartments, transient rental locations, and vacantparcels.

H.1.A.2 As part of the annual planning report to the Town Council (including the annual report to HCD on theHousing Element), provide an update on progress tomeeting the Housing Element (including units forextremely low-income households), to ensure thatadequate sites remain available to meet the RHNA.

On-going • This table, included with the annual progress report is provided to the State Department of Housing andCommunity Development on an annual basis, and isthe primary way in which the Town reports and tracksits progress towards RHNA.

H.1.A.3. Ensure that updates and amendments to existing and future Master Plans and Specific Plans providedevelopment capacity and supporting policy to helpmeet the Town’s housing needs.

On-going • As master plans and specific plans and updates are processed, the Community and EconomicDevelopment Department, Planning and EconomicDevelopment Commission, and the Town Council willevaluate and ensure adequate development capacityand policy is included to meet housing needs.• In 2021, the Master Plan for the Parcel was adopted,which replaced the 1991 Shady Rest Master Plan, andcreated the regulatory framework for the build-out ofthe 25-acre Parcel site as an affordable housingdevelopment with up to 580 workforce housing units.

MAMMOTH LAKES - 2021 25

H.1.B.1. Encourage housing development as part of infill and mixed-use development within the Downtown, OldMammoth Road, and Mixed Lodging/ResidentialCommercial Zones, which is allowed by right by theZoning Code. Outreach to property owners,developers, and brokers to discuss infill and mixed-usedevelopment opportunities in these CommercialZones. This outreach will include identifying,discussing and addressing barriers.

On-going • The Town's commercial zoning districts allow mixeduse projects and workforce housing as permitted uses and as part of the Zoning Code Update work in 2017(ZCA 15-002), the Town held numerous workshopsand meetings to discuss the potential for mixed-usedevelopment and multi-family housing in thecommercial zoning districts. The Town continues todiscuss development opportunities with propertyowners and potential developers and encourage theinclusion of housing within commercial projects.

H.1.D.1. Continue to implement the mitigation requirements of the Housing Ordinance including the requirements fordeveloping Alternate Housing Mitigation Plans(AHMPs).

On-going • The Housing Ordinance provides a menu of options for developers to choose from to mitigate his/herhousing impact. Requirements are outlined for each ofthose options in the Housing Ordinance. MunicipalCode Section 17.136.080 establishes applicationrequirements and approval authority for AlternativeHousing Mitigation Plans.• In 2021, the Town collected $46,224 in HousingImpact Mitigation Fees from the issuance of 7residential building permits and 1 industrial service usepermit. An additional 15 building permits for residentialconstruction were issued in 2021; however, thosepermits were either exempt from the housingmitigation fee (e.g., ADU construction) or their housingmitigation was previously satisfied through thedonation of land that was ultimately developed withaffordable housing (e.g., Snowcreek VII previouslymitigated their housing impact via the donation of landfor the Aspen Village apartments).

H.1.E.1. Continue to apply zoning standards that allow for special needs housing in Mammoth Lakes to ensurecontinued compliance with state law. These zoningstandards and procedures include reasonableaccommodation and allowing transitional andsupportive housing, emergency shelters, andaccessory dwelling units.

On-going • The Town completed zoning amendments in 2014 to address compliance with state law for emergencyshelters, transitional and supportive housing, assistedliving facilities, and group living facilities and continueto monitor changes to state law to ensure on-goingcompliance. The Town is continuing to apply only theresidential zoning standards that apply to otherresidential units in the same zoning district.Reasonable accommodations are made todevelopment standards as requested for persons withdisabilities.

MAMMOTH LAKES - 2021 26

H.1.E.2. Continue to work with the Kern Regional Center to identify any outstanding housing needs for its clientswithin the Mammoth Lakes community, assist inidentifying available housing that meets those criteria,and consider a rental assistance program to fill the gapbetween income levels and the cost of housing forpersons with developmental disabilities. Collaboratewith the Center to implement an outreach program thatinforms residents within Mammoth Lakes on housingand services available for persons with developmentaldisabilities. The program could include thedevelopment of an informational brochure, postinginformation about available services on the Town’swebsite, and providing housing- and services-relatededucational workshops for individuals and families.

On-going • The Town will work with Mammoth Lakes Housing, Inc. (MLH) and Kern Regional Center to accomplishthis goal. MLH previously worked with the Center to tryand secure funding from the State Department ofDevelopmental Services for their 238 Sierra ManorRoad 11-unit low-income apartment conversion project(a non-residential to residential conversion project).They were not successful in obtaining that funding butwill continue working with the Center as the projectmoves forward.

H.1.E.3. The Town shall continue to ensure individuals with disabilities equal access to housing, pursuant to therules, policies, and procedures in Chapter 17.80(Reasonable Accommodation) of the Municipal Code.

On-going • The Community & Economic Development
Department is committed to reviewing and processingapplications for Reasonable Accommodation toprovide appropriate relief from development standardsthat might create a barrier to providing housing for adisabled or special needs person. These applicationsare processes at no cost to the applicants.

H.1.E.4 The Town shall review its zoning code to ensure compliance with AB 2162 related to allowingsupportive housing. The zoning code will be reviewedto assess whether supportive housing is allowedwithout discretionary review in all zones that allowmultifamily housing or mixed-use development,including nonresidential zones as applicable. If it isdetermined that the allowed uses in the zoning codesare not in compliance with AB 2162 the Town willrevise the allowed uses along with correspondingdevelopment standards as detailed in AB 2162.

Sep-2021 • The Town reviewed the Zoning Code requirements applicable to supportive housing, and determined thatno changes to the zoning code are necessary tocomply with the requirements of AB-2162 since multifamily and mixed-use developments are a permitteduse in all of the zones that allow supportive housingtype of uses (i.e., no use permit or other entitlement isrequired for the use) and Municipal Code §17.52.290specifies that “supportive housing is a residential useand is subject only to those restrictions that apply toother residential uses of the same type in the samezoning district.” Staff will develop an application to beused for the Supportive Housing Streamlined Approvalprocess required by AB-2162 to demonstrate that theproject meets the eligibility criteria specified in thelegislation.

MAMMOTH LAKES - 2021 27

H.1.E.5. The Town shall review its zoning code to determine whether updates to zoning are needed to comply withthe state Employee Housing Act (Health and SafetyCode Sections 17021.5 and 17021.6). The Act calls forthe Zoning Ordinance to treat employee housing(including farm worker housing) that serves six orfewer persons as a single-family structure andpermitted in the same manner as other single-familystructures of the same type in the same zone (Section17021.5). The Zoning Ordinance must also treatemployee housing consisting of no more than 12 unitsor 36 beds as an agricultural use and permitted in thesame manner as other agricultural uses in the samezone (Section 17021.6) in zones where agriculturaluses are permitted.

Sep-2021 • The Town reviewed the Zoning Code requirements related to the State Employee Housing Act anddetermined that no changes to the zoning code arenecessary to comply with the requirements of thislegislation. The Employee Housing Act requiresjurisdictions consider housing in an agriculture zonethat serves six or fewer persons to be treated thesame as a single-family residence (if permitted) andrequires housing that consists of 12 units or less, or 36beds, be considered an agriculture use and bepermitted in the same manner (i.e., if a use permit isrequired for agriculture use, then a use permit isrequired for the housing use). The only zone thatpermits agriculture uses is the Open Space zone anda use permit is required for the agriculture use. Singlefamily residences are not a permitted use in this zoneand therefore, the requirement to consider housing forsix or fewer persons a single-family residence is notapplicable. Housing consisting of 12 units or less, or36 beds, would require a use permit since agricultureuses require a use permit and would be subject to thesame requirements as the agriculture use since theuse is considered to be the same. Therefore, nochanges to the zoning code are necessary to complywith this requirement.

MAMMOTH LAKES - 2021 29

• The Town will continue to seek additional funding
sources for the project, including, but not limited to,grants, low income housing tax credits, and taxexempt bonds, and loans.

H.2.A.1. Continue to dedicate appropriate funds to fund affordable and workforce housing programs, and thework of Mammoth Lakes Housing, Inc., the Town, andother groups to meet housing needs.

H.2.A.2. Continue to pursue available grant funds, in
cooperation with Mammoth Lakes Housing, Inc. andother partners, to support and facilitate the provision ofworkforce housing and housing affordable to lowerincome households. In particular, the Town will seekState and Federal funding specifically targeted for thedevelopment of housing affordable to extremely lowincome households.

On-going • The Town and MLH continue to pursue grant funds to support housing programs. The Town was awarded$700,000 In CDBG grant funding in 2018 for first-timehomeownership assistance and rehabilitationprograms and $500,000 in HOME grant funding in2017 for first-time homeownership assistance;however, both grants ended in 2021.• Two BEGIN ReUse loans were awarded in 2021through the reinvestment of repaid BEGIN loan funds.• The Town and MLH continue to review grant NOFAsas they are released and continue to apply foradditional homeownership assistance grant funding.The Town applied for a CDBG grant in 2021, butweren’t successful, and will apply for a new HOMEgrant in early 2022.

MAMMOTH LAKES - 2021 30

H.2.A.3. The Town will work with MMSA on a pilot program to develop a model policy for employers to provide firstand rental deposit which would be re-paid throughpayroll deduction. Outreach efforts will be made withemployers to provide education and to gatherinformation to help create the program.

Dec-2024 • Not yet started. These program components were included in the Housing Action Plan: Live, Work,Thrive and a detailed work program implementing theHousing Action Plan is being developed.Implementation of this pilot program is expected withinthe next 2-5 years. The Town will work with MLH andMammoth Mountain Ski Area (MMSA) to accomplishthis action.

H.2.A.4. The Town will gather research and data to support a program that builds upon the existing HomebuyerAssistance program through Mammoth LakesHousing, Inc. to assist moderate and middle-incomehouseholds, up to 200% AMI with down paymentassistance or assistance with second mortgages. TheTown will also work with employers to assistemployees and learn from existing employers withcurrent programs (MMSA, Water District, MLHassistance).

Dec-2020 and On-going • The Town, with a recommendation from MLH, funded a missing-middle loan program in 2019 with $101,000to provide a minimum of two low-interest deferredpayment loans to households earning between 81-120% AMI.• In 2021, the Town re-allocated the $101,000 to theBridge program with the goal of increasing the numberof affordable ownership units with the Town. Theprogram allows for the purchase of market-rate unitsthat will be resold at a price affordable to householdsearning 120% or less of the AMI. The first unit wasacquired in November 2021 and four additional unitshave since been acquired. As of March 2022, the firstunit acquired is in escrow to be resold at an affordableprice.

H.2.A.5. Continue to explore placing a dedicated local tax initiative on the ballot in Mammoth Lakes to fundaffordable housing. If passed the tax would provide adedicated local funding source for affordable housing.

Postponed • The Town was considering a ballot measure for the November 2020 general election to increase the TOTamount by 1% to be used specifically for affordablehousing, but due to the unknown long-term economicimpacts associated with COVID-19, the ballot measurewas postponed.• However, the Town Council has committed a portionof the excess TOT revenue towards housing in 2021(approximately $10M) and continue to analyze thebudget for additional funding. The TOT revenuecommitted to housing in 2021 is in excess of what adedicated 1% TOT rate would have generated.
