ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
Section 21084 of the California Public Resources Code requires Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). The Guidelines are required to include a list of classes of projects which have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and which are exempt from the provisions of CEQA.
In response to that mandate, the Secretary for Resources identified classes of projects that do not have a significant effect on the environment and are declared to be categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents. In accordance with Section 15304 "Minor Alterations to Land," Class 4 projects consist of "minor public or private alterations in the condition of land, water, and/or vegetation which do not involve removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees except for forestry and agricultural purposes" and approval of this item is considered categorically exempt from CEQA.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:
Section 2.24.050 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code requires the Public Arts Commission to, “Be responsible for a Palm Springs public arts program including policies and guidelines, oversight of the development of art projects and maintenance of art collection.”
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this action will appropriate $9,000 in Public Art Funds to the Public Arts Contractual Services account to cover the proposed expenditure and facilitate this purchase.

The Title VI Plan must be updated no less than once every three years, and significant revisions to the City’s policies or federal guidelines may warrant re-adoption by the City of Palm Springs City Council and resubmittal to the FAA.
The Title VI Plan assures that no person shall on the grounds of race, color, national origin (including limited English proficiency (LEP)), sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity), creed, or age, as provided by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 (PL 100.259), Section 520 of the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982, and related authorities, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any program or activity that receives U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) funding. The Title VI Plan also prohibits retaliation for asserting or otherwise participating in claims of discrimination.
The Title VI Plan includes a requirement for the development of a Community Participation Plan (CPP) ( Attachment C ). The purpose of the CPP is to ensure that stakeholders or communities potentially affected by airport projects or operations can be informed, participate, and have their input thoughtfully considered during airport planning efforts, regardless of their race, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, creed, age, or disability.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The following are the key responsibilities that the Airport must fulfill to meet the requirements of the Title VI Plan:

2. Grant and Procurement Assurances : Complete standard grant assurances for the Title VI Plan and related requirements, in the form prescribed by the FAA.
3. Title VI Coordinator Responsibilities :
The Airport Coordinator is responsible

8. Limited English Proficiency (LEP): Consider the volume, proportion, or frequency of contact with LEP persons in determining the appropriate language assistance to provide.
9. Transportation: Identify existing and planned transit services connecting the airport employment centers with the identified minority and disadvantaged community areas.
10. Minority Businesses: Bids for Airport concessions and other business opportunities are solicited to the area minority and woman-owned businesses.

12. Title VI Complaints: Complaints will be forwarded to the FAA within 15 days of receipt.
13. Compliance Reviews, Audits, Co mplaints, Lawsuits, and Other Investigations: The Airport Coordinator will notify the FAA of any pending investigations or reviews.
The Title VI Plan is in alignment with the Airport’s current efforts to ensure nondiscrimination in all of its programs and activities, whether those programs are federally funded or not, and that the community is notified of any programs or activities at the Airport that may impact the community. As prescribed by the Title Vl Plan, the Airport will also require nondiscrimination assurances fr om each tenant, contractor, and concessionaire providing an activity, service, or facility at the Airport. Assurances will be included in any Airport-related lease or contract with each tenant, contractor and concessionaire.
Once approved by the City Council, the Title VI Plan will be made available on the Airport’s website for public viewing.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
:
The requested City Council action is not a “Project” as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Pursuant to Section 15378(a), a “Project” means the whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

Outreach to Affected Communities
The City of Palm Springs City Clerk office ensures that notices for public meetings reach all segments of the impacted community. The Title VI coordinator will help to identify effective media platforms to share announcements and notices. Announcements are made in social media, general circulation newspapers, community newspapers, email broadcast, and the City of Palm Springs website (www.flypsp.com). The City of Palm Springs City Clerk contacts leaders and representatives in Affected Communities directly to confirm effective media platforms to reach all Affected Communities3 and provide important feedback on translated materials. The office

The term “protected communities” is used within this Title VI Plan to highlight the requirements of Title VI, 49 U.S.C. §
Item 1L - Page 10
maintains records of all such notices and the efforts made to reach each of the Affected Communities.
Palm Springs International Airport will create a detailed CPP by December 1, 2023. A copy of the plan will be available at www.flypsp.com.
To ensure that the community is effectively informed of and able to participate in public hearings, the City of Palm Springs City Clerk office incl udes public notices transl ated into appropriate languages, including for any la nguage spoken by a significant number or proportion of the Affected Community population that has limited Eng lish proficiency (LEP). Such social media postings and notices will include directions for obtaining an interpreter, free of charge, for public hearings. 28 CFR § 42.405(d). See Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Section.
6. Community Statistics
Title VI regulations require Federal grant recipients to know their community demographics. See 49 CFR § 21.9(b). By knowing this information, the Palm Springs Interna tional Airport will be able to identify, understand, a nd engage with communities. In doing so, the Palm Springs International Airport needs to know about comm unities eligible to be served, actually or potentially affected, benefited, or burdened by Palm Springs Inte rnational Airport’s airport program.

Limited English Proficiency (LEP).
The goal of all language access planning and implementation is to ensure that Palm Springs International Airport communicates effectively with limited English proficient (LEP) individuals. Effective language access requires self-assessment and planning. The next table lists non-English languages
7 that are spoken in LEP households in the Affected Communities. The data source is American Community Survey.
The threshold we have used for identifying the languages with significant LEP populations is the DOT LEP Policy Guidance safe harbor threshold, which is 5% or 1,000, whichever is less. 4 The
safe harbor for our community is 1,000. Please refer to the end of this document to find data for all languages in our community.

7. Potential or Known Community Impacts
Projects or services receiving fe deral financial assist ance have the potential to touch so many aspects of American life. Thus, in general, no Palm Springs International Airport activity must have a discriminatory disparate impact on the basis of race, color, national origin (including LEP), sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity), creed, or age. This means that policies or procedures that have a disparate impact would require a well-documented substantial legitimate nondiscriminatory justification, su mmarized below. Impacts to protected communities must be avoided or minimized to the extent possible. No project with a discriminatory impact on protected communities will be undertaken.
9 The following airport facilities are already in use or under construction and expected to be in use within the next 3 years.
Existing Airport Facilities Affected Community Impacted by Operation of the Facility

Limited English Proficiency (LEP).
The goal of all language access planning and implementation is to ensure that Palm Springs International Airport communicates effectiv ely with limited English proficient (LEP) individuals. Effective language access requires self-assessment and planning. The next table lists non-English languages
7 that are spoken in LEP households in the Affected Communities. The data source is American Community Survey.
The threshold we have used for identifying the languages with significant LEP populations is the DOT LEP Policy Guidance safe harbor threshold, which is 5% or 1,000, whichever is less. 4 The
safe harbor for our community is 1,000. Please refer to the end of this document to find data for all languages in our community.
4 See the DOT LEP Policy Guidance at https://www.federalregister.gov/d/05-23972/p-133. The safe harbor provisions apply to the translation of written documents only; however, it provides a consistent starting point for identifying significant LEP populations.

7. Potential or Known Community Impacts
Projects or services receiving federal financial assistance have the potential to touch so many aspects of American life. Thus, in general, no Palm Springs International Airport activity must have a discriminatory disparate impact on the basis of race, color, national origin (including LEP), sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity), creed, or age. This means that policies or procedures that have a disparat e impact would require a well- documented substantial legitimate nondiscriminatory justification, summarized below. Impacts to protected communities must be avoided or minimized to the extent possible. No project with a discriminatory impact on protected communities will be undertaken.
9 The following airport facilities are already in use or under construction and expected to be in use within the next 3 years.
Existing Airport Facilities Affected Community Impacted by Operation of the Facility

CPP records will be made available to the public using the same methods for other information outlined within this plan.
7. Reporting Outcomes
Within 30 days of the end of each fiscal year (FY),11 Palm Springs International Airport will create a CPP Report for the completed FY. The report will summarize efforts taken under this CPP in a narrative statement describing:
1. The specific steps taken to produce meaningful engagement with Affected Communities the completed FY,
2. The results of those efforts for the completed FY, and
3. How the Affected Communities’ comments and views are or will be incorporated into the decision-making process.
The CPP Reports will be included with Palm Springs International Airport’s Title VI Plan which is updated every 3 years. If no current Title VI Plan exists, the CPP Reports will be added to its Title VI Assessment for each grant.
9 [If adding a website, include the relevant webpage location address] 10 This information is solicited to demonstrate compliance with Title VI and related requirements. See 49 CFR §
21.9(b); 49 U.S.C. § 47123; 28 CFR § 42.406; and FAA Order 1400.11. 11 The first report is required after the first complete fiscal year, after this plan is adopted. Information for activities during a partial year immediately following adoption of the plan will be included with the first full year’s report.

Appendix 1
Complete only if required by Section 312
Title VI regulation require Federal grant recipients to know their community demographics. See 49 CFR § 21.9(b). By knowing this information, the Palm Springs International Airport will be able to identify, understand, and engage with communities. In doing so, the Palm Springs International Airport needs to know about communities eligible to be served, actually or potentially affected, benefited or burdened by Palm Springs International Airport’s airport program.

We have identified the following facts about the Affected Communities:
Low Income Communities
14. A low-income area is an identifiable group of persons living in geographic proximity, whose median household income is at or below the Department of Health and Human Services poverty guidelines. Pursuant to Executive Order 12898, “Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations,” Palm Springs International Airport is collecting information about affected and potentially affected low-income communities. According to S1701: Poverty Status in the Past 12 Months, the overall poverty level for the Palm Springs is approximately 14.5%. The poverty rate remains high compared with the rest o the Riverside County. The poverty rates for the specific Affected Communities are as follows:
12 [In general, this appendix should only be completed if the airport does not have a current Title VI Plan that has been accepted by the FAA. Information does not need to be copied and pasted from the Title VI Plan]. 13 “Affected communities” means any readily identifiable group potentially impacted by an airport project or operation, such as the community immediately surrounding a project or a community in the flight path. 14 Low-income data must be collected to assist in our compliance with Environmental Justice requirements (not Title VI requirements). For example, this data will be utilized in our Community Participation Plan (CPP) to help ensure the meaningful involvement of low income communities in airport programs and activities.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Housing & Community Development
SUMMARY:
T
he City recently received an award of Encampment Resolution Funds (ERF) in the amount of $5,106,730.65. ERF funds can be used to provide services and support to people experiencing homelessness in encampments that lead to safe and stable housing.
LeSar Development Consultants (Consultant) has been assisting the City with securing the ERF funds and establishing the ERF programs. Approval of this Amendment will extend the Consultant Services Agreement (Agreement) with Consultant to have them continue working on the City’s ERF programs for the duration of the ERF program (approximately three years). In addition, the Consultant has also been assisting the City with securing entitlements and affordable housing development concepts for the City’s Gene Autry site . The proposed amendment will allow C onsultant to complete the work they have started for this project . The total amount of additional funding necessary for these tasks is $621,741.

n April 8, 2021, the City Council approved the Agreement with Contractor in an amount not to exceed $110,000 annually for up to four years to assist with the administration of several new affordable housing projects and homeless services initiatives. At that time, it was anticipated that the services to be provided by Consultant would be needed for approximately four years to help program and administer the Homeless Housing, Item 1M - Page 1

Assistance and Prevention program funds ($10 million State HHAP grant); assist with managing ongoing affordable housing developments (including the Monarch Apartments, Vista Sunrise II, and Aloe Palm Canyon projects), develop homeless services programs; and assist with securing additional funds for affordable housing and facilities for unhoused individuals.
On April 7, 2022, the City Council approved increasing the annual limit for housing consultant services, not to exceed $255,000 annually, ending in April 2025. This decision was due to work with the Navigation Center being built and Consultant’s work assisting staff in stakeholder meetings, the Resident Advisory Working Group and utilization of HHAP funding.
The Consultant has assisted the City with several high priority projects and activities , including the following:
• Affordable Housing Project Financing Closings – City financing for affordable housing projects typically covers 10% to 15% of the project costs and leverages the remaining 85% - 90% of the financing from other governmental entities and institutional investors. City Staff and Consultant must review draft agreements between such institutions and developers to protect the City’s investments (land and financial), preserve the integrity of the project scope, and ensure the City’s affordable housing goals will be met. Consultant assisted with closings for the Monarch Apartments, and Vista Sunrise II project. This involves reviewing thousands of pages and participating on multiple phone calls with lenders, investors, and other governmental agencies.
• Palm Springs Access Center Operations – Consultant provided review and recommendations for the Palm Springs Access Center operations. This included research on existing access centers and information on national best practices for access center operations.
• Homeless Services Coordination – The City initiated monthly meetings with Palm Springs Homeless Service Providers to coordinate service provider efforts in Palm Springs. Consultant currently provides assistance with planning, research, and guidance for the monthly meetings to help coordinate the homeless services being provided in Palm Springs.
• HHAP Reporting – Consultant is assisting with reporting for the Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) Grant Program which awarded the City of Palm Springs with $10 million. The reporting requirements include tracking the outcomes of all individuals served using HHAP funds. This includes the permanent supportive housing residents of the Aloe Palm Canyon and Vista Sunrise II, and those that will utilize the Navigation Center.

Lesar Amendment No. 3
STAFF ANALYSIS:
At this time, staff is requesting to amend the current Agreement with Consultant to have them continue working on two (2) large scale projects. The first one is to facilitate the development of additional affordable housing on two adjacent parcels of City-owned land by addressing and reducing the entitlement obstacles and risks which presently hinder development at this location.
The second project involves utilizing ERF funds to address homelessness in Palm Springs by transitioning individuals from the Palm Canyon Wash encampment to interim and permanent housing. Consultant would assist with the administration and oversight of the ERF project, including managing outreach services, coordinating interim housing placements, and facilitating the transition of 50 individuals into permanent housing solutions.
1. P
roposed Affordable Housing Development Project Tasks
For the affordable housing project, Consultant has assisted staff in doing research on which of the City-owned properties would be best for an affordable development. Based on the following factors, the City will be moving forward with a Request for Proposals (RFP) and incentives that may generate developers' interest in a historically difficult to develop site:
1) LIHTC feasibility
2) Resource Area Type
3) Zone change viability
In consideration of these factors, Staff believes securing site entitlements before releasing the RFP would greatly increase affordable housing developer interest and likelihood of submitting a proposal for this site. This approach would significantly reduce developer risk and pave the way for an affordable project to be built more efficiently on the property.
The Consultant’s role would be to secure the Zone Change and the following phased tasks:
Phase 1) Capacity Study: Consultant will subcontract with an architect to determine the maximum number of units possible on the site, given the constraints of TCAC requirements, airport influence area, site dimensions, and revised zoning.
The capacity study is also required for the environmental assessment that is needed for the Change of Zone application.
Phase 2) Pro Forma Financial Model: using the design from Phase 1, a) confirm and maximize financial feasibility, b) conduct an early identification and quantification of critical success factors such as gap financing and Section 8 vouchers. This also mitigates the risk of further expenditure by the City for a project which ultimately may not be financially viable.

Lesar Amendment No. 3
Phase 3) This phase has two tasks:
Task A ) Environmental Assessment: Consultant will subcontract with an environmental consulting firm to complete the environmental assessment necessary for the Change of Zone Application.
Task B ) Remaining Tasks: complete all tasks necessary to achieve the Change of Zone approval, which includes narratives, site photographs, and a public hearing.
Phase 4) Airport Land Use Commission: Consultant will support the City in obtaining approval from the Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission if such approval is necessary. Consultant currently anticipates that such approval will not be necessary, and therefore no funding has been set aside in the budget for this line item.
Phase 5) Revised RFP: Consultant will support the City in the issuance of an updated RFP. Consultant will draft an updated RFP for the City’s review, editing, and approval.
2. Proposed E
RF and Outreach Services Coordination
For the ERF project, Consultant will support the City with ERF program implementation by coordinating outreach services and managing encampment resolution strategies. As proposed, Consultant’s responsibilities would include:
1. Facilitating a city-wide outreach strategy, including the creation of a by -name list to prioritize individuals for housing placement.
2. Organizing and leading case conferencing sessions with service providers to ensure individuals slated for move-ins have the necessary resources.
3. Providing on- site support for key move- in days and troubleshooting challenges during the transition process.
4. Offering weekly coordination support to align outreach efforts with ERF program goals and state requirements.
Consultant would also be responsible for meeting the ERF grant ’s strict timelines and deliverables ensuring that individuals experiencing homelessness transition to stable housing effectively and within program guidelines.
Other tasks include supporting the City with coordinating Community -Based Organizations (CBOs) for outreach, case management, and housing navigation. In this capacity, Consultant’s role would include:
Item 1M - Page 4
City Council Staff Report
January 9, 2025 -- Page 5
Lesar Amendment No. 3
1. Drafting and executing contracts with the CBO s to align with Housing and Community Development (HCD) requirements.
2. Providing technical assistance to ensure the CBO s meets contractual obligations and adopt best practices in homelessness outreach and housing navigation.
3. Supporting the City and the CBO s with ERF reporting to ensure compliance with HCD deadlines and deliverables.
This partnership ensures that ERF-funded activities are implemented effectively, enabling the City to meet ERF program objectives.
