Since the inception of the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Funds (RMRA), the City has received approximately $15.5 million through FY 2023. We currently have spent $5.5 million with the remaining $10 million budgeted for arterial overlays that are currently in design and will be under construction in Summer/Fall 2023 and Spring/Sumer 2024.
DISCUSSION
As a requirement for the funding, staff are to list specific projects that will be using that years SB1 allocation. Typically, the funding goes toward pavement resurfacing projects.
Due to delay issues in obtaining pavement resurfacing data and engineering plans, some of the previous year’s SB1 funding has not been used and subsequently carried forward.
The City currently contracts with Los Angeles County Public Works and works together on street resurfacing projects where there is both City and County ownership. If a County initiates a resurfacing project, they will ask the City to participate for the City’s share via a service request. The County will then manage the project through construction and bill the City accordingly.
Currently there are several County street resurfacing projects, with City shared responsibility, which will be underway in Summer/Fall of 2023. The SB1 funding program now allows for Cities to make changes to their previous lists of projects as long as the projects fall within the guidelines and are reported accurately. The current County list of resurfacing projects that the City is recommending participating in include:

DATE: MAY 3, 2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CITY MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT, CITY ATTORNEY DIVISION DISTRICT: ALL
SUBJECT: ADOPT ORDINANCE NO . 1610, AMENDING ORDINANCE U -1582
AS IT AMENDED PALMDALE MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION
16.40.120 TO INCREASE THE INITIAL TERM OF TENTATIVE MAPS
BY TWO YEARS, AND TO INCREASE THE TERM OF CERTAIN
PHASED TENTATIVE MAPS BY ONE ADDITIONAL TWO -YEAR
PERIOD
ISSUE
Adopt Ordinanc e No. 1610, amending Palmdale Municipal Code (PMC) Section
16.40.120 to increase the initial term of tentative maps by two years, and to increase the term of certain phased tentative maps by one additional two-year period.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Receive public testimony regarding Ordinance No. 1610;
2. Adopt Ordinance No. 1610 amending PMC Section 16.40.120 to increase the initial term of tentative maps by two years, and to increase the term of certain phased tentative maps by one additional two-year period; and,
3. Find that the amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act.
BACKGROUND
PMC Section 16.40.120 currently establishes that tentative maps have an initial term of 36 months and effective January 1, 2022, Government Code 66452.6 was amended to allow cities to increase this term to 48 months.
DISCUSSION
The past two years has seen substantial volatility in the construction industry . Supply chain issues, cost increases, labor shortages, and continually changing mandates have caused uncertainty in the development community . A s a result, several subdivision projects, which the City previously approved were put on hold. As the economy begins to recover, there is a renewed interest in reviving projects; however, several tentative maps are set to expire this year.

To accelerate the development of much-needed housing and to substantiate the City’s business-friendly reputation, staff recommends amending PMC Section 16.40.120 to extend certain expiring tentative maps. Under the proposed ordinance, tentative maps that are set to expire in 2023 will be extended for an additional 24 months. The time extension would only apply to projects that have already utilized all available discretionary map extensions. The additional time will allow applicants to complete all the requirements necessary to approve and record final maps. The intent is that this provision would be in effect for the remainder of the year and would sunset on December 31, 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT
This ordinance will facilitate completion of previous entitled developments, which will bring much-needed housing and subsequently increase property and sales tax revenues for the City.
STRATEGIC PLAN
Goal III: Invest in infrastructure to improve community livability.

B. ORDINANCE
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALMDALE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. This Council hereby confirms its legislative intent as set forth in Section A of this Ordinance and hereby incorporates Section A by reference herein.
SECTION 2 . Revised PMC Section 16.40.120.A. Subsection A of Palmdale Municipal Code 16.40.120 is hereby revised as follows for the time period from January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2024, after which time such subsection shall revert to how it existed prior to the effective date of this ordinance and shall have no effect on maps which did not use such provision:
Ordinance No. 1610
(A) The initial approval or conditional approval of a tentative map shall expire 36 months from its adoption by the Planning Commission or, if appealed, from the City Council’s action. If, however, all of the following are true for a particular tentative map, then the initial or conditional approval of the tentative map shall instead expire 48 months from its adoption by the Planning Commission, or if appealed, from the City Council’s action: (1) the term of the tentative map has already been extended for the maximum number of years authorized by Section 16.40.140; (2) the applicant has not previously, and cannot in the future, use the extension authorized by subsection C of this section. Expiration of an approved or conditionally approved tentative map shall terminate all proceedings and no final or parcel map of all or any portion of the real property included within the tentative map shall be filed without processing a new tentative map in accordance with the provisions of this title. Once a complete and timely filing of a final map, as described in PMC Section 16.70.050, has been made by the subdivider to the City Engineer, the final processing, approving and recording may lawfully occur after the date of expiration of the tentative map; however, should the City Engineer determine that a complete and timely filing has not been received, the tentative map shall expire on its expiration date, unless a complete and timely filing is received prior to that date.
SECTION 3. Revised PMC Section 16.40.120.C. Subsection C of PMC Section
16.40.120 is hereby revised as follows:
(C) If the filing of multiple final maps is authorized under the tentative map approval pursuant to PMC 16.40.130, and the Planning Manager and the City Engineer determine that a condition of approval of the tentative map is an expenditure in the amount specified under Government Code Section 66452.6(a), including specified adjustments for inflation, for public improvements of public rights-of-way which are outside and/or about the boundary of the property to be subdivided and reasonably relate to the development of that property, then the tentative map will be extended for 36 months 48 months upon the timely filing of the first phase of the final map within the original approval period of the tentative map.
(1) Except as provided in subsection (C)(2) of this Section, the timely filing of subsequent final maps authorized under the tentative map approval pursuant to this subsection shall extend the life of the tentative map for a period of 36 months 48 months from the date of the previously filed final map; provided, that such extensions shall not extend the tentative map more than 10 years.
However, a tentative map on property subject to a development agreement may be extended for the period of time provided for in the agreement. (2) If two or more final maps from the same tentative map are filed within any period of 12 consecutive months, the applicant shall only be entitled to one automatic extension, pursuant to Government Code Section 66452.6(a) and subsection (C) of this Section. Notwithstanding anything else in this subsection C to the contrary, the term of any tentative map extended under this subsection C shall not be extended except to the extent required by state law. See Government Code 66452.6(a).
Ordinance No. 1610
(3) A request by a subdivider for the granting of an automatic time extension shall be processed as an administrative review of the tentative map to reflect conditions of approval and shall be subject to any fees required by City Council resolution.
SECTION 4. Intent of January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2024, Sunset. It is the intent of the Council that Section 1 of this Ordinance be implemented in the following manner. It is intended that applicants which use this provision have their maps extended for the full 24 months, notwithstanding the removal of the provision from the PMC on January 1, 2023, pursuant to Ordinance No. U-1582. For example, if a map would have expired on December 31, 2022, but for this Ordinance, and such map qualifies for the one- year extension authorized by this ordinance, then such map shall be extended through December 31, 2024. If, however, a map is set to expire on January 1, 2023, then because Section 1 would not apply, such map would not qualify for any one-year extension, and shall continue to expire on January 1, 2023.
SECTION 5. California Environmental Quality Act. The City Council finds the approval of this Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to: (a) CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2) because the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment; (b) CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it has no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment; and under (c) 15378(c)(2), because CEQA does not apply to procedure making. This Ordinance merely changes the period of time under which construction is allowed – it does not authorize any construction which would not already have been analyzed under CEQA and is within the scope of the City charter.
SECTION 6. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase in this Ordinance or any part thereof is for any reason held to be unconstitutional or invalid or ineffective by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the remaining portions of this Ordinance or any part thereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared unconstitutional, or invalid, or ineffective, provided the basic purposes of this Ordinance and the benefits to the City and the public are not substantially impaired.
SECTION 7. The City of Palmdale, California is a Charter City and has specified that it has the authority to deviate from, supersede and alter general law regulations for the good of the local interests of the City of Palmdale. This City Council finds that granting a further extension to specified tentative tract maps is in the best interests of the City of Palmdale. Further, this City Council finds this its decision and this Ordinance, to be consistent with conforming to, and authorized by the City of Palmdale City Charter. This City Council further finds that this exercise of its charter derived authority is consistent with all legal and procedural requirements and preconditions applicable to this exercise of its authority under the City Charter.
Ordinance No. 1610
SECTION 8 . All legal pre-requisites and pre-conditions to the introduction, enactment and adoption of this Ordinance have occurred as required by law and policy.
SECTION 9. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this ordinance and shall cause this ordinance to be published or posted as required by law.

Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
The City of Palmdale has prepared the 2023-24 Annual Action Plan as required to receive federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds.
The Action Plan provides the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) with a summary of the proposed activities to be carried out with CDBG and HOME resources.
The CDBG and HOME programs generally provide for a wide range of eligible activities for the benefit of low- and moderate-income Palmdale residents.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 created the CDBG Program with three primary objectives against which HUD evaluates the Consolidated Plan and the City’s performance under the Plan. Those primar y objectives are decent housing, suitable living environments, and expanded economic opportunities for low - and moderate-income persons. The CDBG regulations require that each activity meet one of the following national objectives:
• Benefit low- and moderate-income persons;
• Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight; or • Meet other community development needs having a particular urgency (usually the result of a natural disaster).
HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME)
The Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 created the HOME program to expand the supply of affordable housing for low - and moderate-income households. Often used in partnership with local nonprofit housing development organizations, the HOME program can support a wide range of affordable housing activities, including building, buying, and/or rehabilitating rental and ownership housing or providing direct rental assistance to low - and moderate-income people.
For the 2023 program year, the City will receive $1, 433,847 of CDBG funds , $33,508 of CDBG Program Income and an estimated $590,664 of HOME funds, $102,140 of Program Income, and $490,550 of recaptured funds. A total of $2,650,709 is available for the CDBG and HOME activities listed below.

Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.
Los Angeles County’s homeless system of care is comprised of a network of public, private, faith-based, for- profit, and non -profit service providers w ho utilize several federal, state and local resources to provide services for homeless people. The region’s municipalities, including the City of Palmdale, also provide resources for services that assist the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless. The County’s non- profit community plays a key role in the current Continuum of Care (CoC) system. Hundreds of agencies throughout the County provide programs ranging from feeding the homeless on the street to creating permanent supportive housing opportunities. These services are available to homeless families with children, and single men and women.
The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) is the lead agency for the CoC in Los Angeles County. LAHSA guides the development of homeless strategies and the implementation of programs to end homelessness throughout the region. The City provided a detailed questionnaire to LAHSA to identify the CoC’s perceived needs in the county and its objectives to address the needs of different homeless persons populations, specifically chronically homeless families and individuals, families with children, veterans, unaccompanied youth, and persons at risk of homelessness. Following the delivery and response to this questionnaire, the City followed up with the CoC to clarify existing needs and objectives and understand opportunities for collaboration and coordination during the 5-year planning process.
Coordination to address homelessness — including chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth — is guided by the CoC. All service providers within the CoC can refer people with varying needs to the appropriate service provider(s) in their area.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction’s area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS.
The City of Palmdale does not receive Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds, but will continue to support the efforts of LAHSA and the County of Los Angeles in their development of performance standards for the County’s ESG program that provide a measure to evaluate each subrecipients’ effectiveness, such as how well the service provider succeeds at 1) targeting those who need the assistance most; 2) reducing the number of people living on the streets or emergency shelters; 3) shortening the time people spend homeless; and 4) reducing each program participant’s housing barriers or housing stability risks.

Expected Resources

Introduction
The Strategic Plan goals included in this Consolidated Plan are based on resources that are reasonably anticipated to be available to the City from federal, state, local and private sources from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024. The actual resources avai lable to support activities during the implementation of this Consolidated Plan may vary significantly due to factors outside of the City’s control. For example, HUD formula grant allocations are subject to change each year based on a number of factors such as the amount of the national appropriation, changes in ACS population data applied to the CPD grant formulas, statutory changes to the CPD grant formulas, the addition or removal of entitlements receiving a particular CPD grant and the availability of reallocated funds. Additionally, state, local, and private resources will vary significantly depending on economic conditions.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied To address housing and community development needs in Palmdale, the City will levera ge its CDBG and HOME entitlement grants with a variety of funding resources in order to maximize the effectiveness of available funds. The City and its development partners will continue to seek new opportunities to leverage federal funds, such as the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program and other State of California resources made available as a result of recent State laws that took effect in 2019 and 2020.
Federal Resources
• Continuum of Care (CoC) Program
• HUD Veterans Affairs supportive Housing (HUD-VASH)
• Supportive Housing for the Elderly (Section 202)
• Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities (Section 811) • Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA)
• Youthbuild
• Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program
• Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP)

City of Palmdale - 26 - 2023 Annual Action Plan
HOME Matching Requirements
HUD requires HOME recipients (PJs) to match 25 percent of their HOME annual allocation. In accordance with 24 CFR 92.222, PJs satisfying the distress criteria established by the HOME Program regulations are provided a match reduction. The match reductions are granted due to fiscal distress, severe fiscal distress, and Presidential disaster declarations. For those PJs with both fiscal distress and Presidential disaster match reductions, the PJ may take the higher match reduction for the current fiscal year.
When a local jurisdiction meets one of the distress criteria, it is determined to be in fiscal distress and receives a 50 percent reduction of match. If a local jurisdiction satisfies both of the distress criteria, it is determined to be in severe fiscal distress and receives a 100 percent reduction of match. The City of Palmdale has received a 100 percent match reduction from HUD, and therefor e, is required to match 0 percent of HOME Funds using non-federal funds.
The City of Palmdale leverages HOME funds with other local and private non-federal resources even though it has received a 100 percent match reduction from the 25 percent matching req uirement. Any funds that are used in a HOME activity in excess of the required match will be documented by the City and reported to HUD as part of the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) each year.
If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
In 2011, the elimination of local Redevelopment Agencies by the State of California resulted in the loss of a crucial resource for the dev elopment and preservation of affordable housing. This negatively impacted affordable housing and residential investment. While there are mechanisms whereby certain affordable housing assets tied to the former Redevelopment Agencies may be utilized today, the available resources for affordable housing are scarce.
Land or property necessary to address the needs identified in the Consolidated Plan would need to be acquired using HUD grant funds or other resources.
Discussion
Assuming continued level funding of the CDBG and HOME programs, the City expects to spend several million dollars of CDBG and HOME funds on projects that provide affordable housing to low-income residents between July 1, 2020, and June 30, 2025. It is anticipated that approximately $2.0 million of this will be spent on affordable housing development and preservation. Based on prior project experience, we anticipate that these funds will leverage other public and private funding, including but not limited to:
• Low-Income Housing Tax Credits
• Project-based Section 8 certificates
• Project financing at favorable interest rates from local lenders • Private contributions to local CHDOs
• Private market real estate investments
City of Palmdale - 27 - 2023 Annual Action Plan
• Market rate housing that subsidizes affordable units on the same development site Assuming continued level funding of the CDBG program, the City expects to spend approximately $3.3 million of CDBG funds on public facilities and infrastructure improvement activities that promote a suitable living environment between July 2020 and June 2025. Anticipated projects include:
• Public Facilities Improvements (including ADA)
• Infrastructure Improvements (affordable housing)
• Section 108 Debt Service for prior Public Facilities

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs Based on the Strategic Plan, the City is allocating 100 percent of its CDBG funds (excluding CDBG Section 108 Debt Service & Trustee Fees funds and CDBG administration) and HOME funds (excluding HOME administration) for program year 2023 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate-income people. Due to the nature of the projects and activities to be undertaken, investments in all projects concerning Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements, benefit low- and moderate-income limited clientele or housing preservation, affordability and development are available citywide.
The primary obstacles to meeting the underserved needs of low - and moderate -income people include lack of funding from federal, state, and other local sources, the high cost of housing that is not affordable to low -income people and the lack of avail ability of home improvement financing in the private lending industry. To address these obstacles, the City is investing CDBG and HOME funds through the 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan in projects that will be used to provide rental assistance, increase the supply of affordable housing, ensure equal access to housing opportunities, provide for public facilities and infrastructure improvements, promote economic opportunity for low- income residents and small business owners, and provide public services to low - and moderate- income residents to prevent and eliminate homelessness.

Affordable Housing
AP-55 Affordable Housing – 91.220(g)
Introduction
The City placed a high priority on affordable housing in the Consolidated Plan. The top three goals in the Consolidated Plan’s Strategic Plan include Affordable Housing, Fair Housing Services, and Public Services including Homelessness. These goals establish a framework to invest CDBG and HOME funds to address the affordable housing needs of the City.
Increase the Supply of Affordable Housing
Based on evaluation of 2011-2015 ACS and CHAS data, there is a high need for housing units affordable for low-income households. Of the 25,195 households earning 0-80 percent of AMI in the City, 17,537 are cost burdened households—meaning households paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing. Of the 17,537 cost burdened households, 9,699 are renters, with 5,675 earning 0 -30 percent of AMI, 2,590 earning 30-50 percent of AMI, and 1,434 earning 50-80 percent of AMI.
Of the 17,537 cost-burdened households, 9,639 are severely cost burdened households—meaning that they pay more than 50 percent of their income for housing. Of these, 5,789 are severely cost burdened renters.
Of the severely cost burdened renters, 4,770 earn 0-30 percent of AMI, 885 earn 30-50 percent of AMI, and 134 earn 50-80 percent of AMI.
Severely cost burdened renter households earning less than 80 percent of AMI are at-risk of homelessness, particularly those earning less than 50 or less than 30 percent of AMI.
Increasing the supply of housing units affordable for low -income households that are restricted for low - income households for a long term (generally 20-55 years or more) is rated as the highest priority need due to the number of severely cost burdened households in Palmdale.
Additionally, preservation of the physical and functional integrity of existing housing units occupied by low - and moderate-income households is a cost-effective way to invest limited resources to retain existing housing units that are already affordable to low - and moderate-income households in the community. Addressing substandard housing conditions through housing preservation activities provide that all economic segments of the community have the means to ensure that their property meets local standards and that all Palmdale residents have the opportunity to live in decent housing. During the 2023 program year, the City prioritized funding for increasing the supply of affordable housing and provid ing rental assistance. Therefore, no rehabilitation projects are planned.

Introduction
The City of Palmdale Housing Authority was formed in 1994 under State of California Housing Authority Law to actively improve existing neighborhoods and develop affordable housing opportunities using local, state and federal resources. The Palmdale Housing Authority does not administer Section 8 and does not own HUD Public Housing; however, the City is within the service area of the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) for the purposes of Section 8 and Public Housing.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing During the 2023-2024 program year, LACDA will continue providing housing and public services to existing residents of the City of Palmdale. LACDA takes in feedback of residents collected through resident sur veys distributed throughout the City of Palmdale to improve services.
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
LACDA actively encourages residents to be involved in the organization through resident councils and active participation in housing authority decisions via surveys and other forms of engagement. Resident surveys were distributed with translation services available on request. Community meetings in low -income areas were hosted with copies of the Consolidated Plan draft being available in these areas. A public hearing is conducted to accept public comments on the draft plan before its approval and submittal to HUD. Grant funding is administered to increase housing availabilit y and accessibility to residents to encourage greater participation in homeownership. LACDA also maintains quarterly newsletters for Section 8 tenants, public housing residents, and Section 8 property owners.
If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance
Not applicable. LACDA is considered a High Performing PHA.
Discussion
LACDA is well-positioned to continue providing Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers in the City of Palmdale and throughout Los Angeles County.
City of Palmdale - 45 - 2023 Annual Action Plan
AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
The City will invest CDBG funds during the 2023-2024 program year to address high priority needs identified in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan including providing public services that address homelessness.
Describe the jurisdictions one -year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs Preventing and ending homelessness is a HUD priority addressed nationally through coordination of regional strategies carried out locally by government agencies and a wide variety of community-based organizations and faith-based groups. Consistent with this approach, the City of Palmdale supports the efforts of The Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority (LAHSA), County Continuum of Care (CoC), and its member organizations that address homelessness throughout Los Angeles County and more specifically in SPA1. In alignment with this strategy, the City will use CDBG funds to support local service providers as well as City run programs to prevent homelessness and to expand the supply of affordable housing in Palmdale for low- and moderate-income residents.
In February 2016, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and the City of Los Angeles approved a new joint Homeless Initiative plan to address homelessness in the Los Angeles region (Homeless Initiative). The strategies were developed afte r 18 policy summits that brought together more than 100 community organizations, 25 County departments and 30 cities including the City of Palmdale. In March 2017, voters approved Measure H, a 10-year, 0.25% sales tax increase. Through the Homeless Initiat ive, the City was one of 47 Cities to receive a planning grant in 2017, resulting in the City of Palmdale’s Homeless Plan, which identifies the local need and strategies to partner with local service providers to meet those needs. In this program year, the City will work with the CoC and the County to address the needs identified through collaboration and coordination of resources and services.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons Through the Homeless Initiative, the County and CoC are working to strengthen and increase the availability of housing and services at all levels. The ultimate solution to ending homelessness is transitional to permanent housing closely aligned with supportive services that ensure hous ing stability can be maintained. However, because the demand for affordable housing far outpaces the region’s supply, the CoC continues to rely on its emergency and bridge housing system in order to address the immediate needs of Los Angeles County’s homeless population. At the same time, the only year-round emergency shelter in the Antelope Valley closed in August 2017. As a result, the CoC is collaborating with a range of non-profit and community organizations to fill the gap, including providing funding for a local winter shelter. Additional funding has been infused in the community through Project Roomkey to provide families with emergency motel vouchers and provide households with rapid rehousing assistance.
City of Palmdale - 46 - 2023 Annual Action Plan
Los Angeles County has implemented policy and program changes aimed at ensuring homeless persons in Los Angeles County are rapidly housed and offered an appropriate level of support services to meet their circumstances and keep them stably housed.
This increase in rapid rehousing and permanent suppo rtive housing for the most vulnerable populations is attributed to Los Angeles County homeless service providers re-tooling their programs and shifting their focus to moving people quickly into permanent supportive housing throughout the County. Homelessness can be significantly reduced and the quality of life of our residents, especially those precariously housed or homeless can be improved.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and f amilies to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again Leveraging CoC efforts, this Strategic Plan provides for the use of CDBG public service funds to support the social safety net activities of SAVES and HOME funds to provide short- and medium-term tenant-based rental assistance to keep individuals and families housed or to rapidly re-house individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Additionally, the homeless plan goals and efforts included in the foregoing paragraphs also will help homeless persons, especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth make the transition to permanent housing and independent living. The City’s goals are consistent with HUD’s goal to shorten the period that individuals and families experience homelessness and to facilitate access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units. The City’s goals are aligned with HUD’s goal to prevent individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again.
Helping low -income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low -income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs An individual or family is considered to be at-risk of becoming homeless if they experience extreme difficulty maintaining their housing and has no reasonable al ternatives for obtaining subsequent housing.
Homelessness often results from a complex set of circumstances that require people to choose between food, shelter and other basic needs. Examples of common circumstances that can cause homelessness include eviction, loss of income, insufficient income, disability, increase in the cost of housing, discharge from an institution, irreparable damage or deterioration to housing, and fleeing from family violence.
The “Approved Strategies to Combat Homelessness” publis hed by L.A. County on February 9, 2016 , (Homeless Initiative) are consistent with State and Federal initiatives for ending homelessness and consists of 47 strategies arranged by six guiding principles including A) Prevent Homelessness, B) Subsidize Housing, City of Palmdale - 47 - 2023 Annual Action Plan
C) Increase Income, D) Provide Case Management and Services, E) Create a Coordinated System, and F) Increase Affordable/Homeless Housing. The Homeless Initiative represents a commitment by all stakeholders throughout the County to prevent and end homelessness.
Through implementation of the collaborative goals of the City of Palmdale’s Homeless Plan and implementation of best practices developed through the CoC, the community will be able to serve people discharged from publicly funded institutions or systems of care such as health care facilities or correction programs. Full implementation of the Coordinated Entry System will reduce the number of people discharged from publicly funded institutions into homelessness.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction
A barrier to affordable housing is a public policy or nongovernmental condition that constrains the development or rehabilitation of affordable housing, such as land use controls, property taxes, state prevailing wage requirements, environmental protection, cost of land and availability of monetary resources. Barriers to affordable housing are distinguished from impediments to fair housing choice in the sense that barriers are lawful and impediments to fair housing choice are usually unlawful.
Based on information gathered during community meetings, the Consolidated Plan survey, the 2013 -2021 Housing Element and market analysis, the primary barriers to affordable housing in Palmdale are housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources necessary to develop and sustain affordable housing. The two barriers are related in the sense that demand for affordable housing exceeds the supply and insufficient resources are available to increase the supply of affordable housing to meet demand.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment In the development of the 2013-2021 Housing Element, the City evaluated significant public policies affecting affordable housing development such as land use c ontrols, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges and growth limitations. Based on this evaluation, the City determined that it has taken all necessary steps to ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that may have been a barrier to affordable housing. Moreover, the City is actively engaged with affordable housing developers concerning the siting of affordable housing and ensuring that the entitlement process runs smoothly from inception to completion.
City of Palmdale - 49 - 2023 Annual Action Plan
AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction
In the implementation of the 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG and HOME resources to address obstacles to meet underserved needs, foster and maintain affordable housing, reduce lead-based paint hazards, reduce the number of poverty -level families, develop institutional structure and enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The primary obstacles to meeting the underserved needs of low- and moderate-income people include lack of funding from federal, state, and other local sources, the high cost of housing that is not affordable to low- income people and the lack of availability of home improvement financing in the private lending industry. To address these obstacles, the City is investing CDBG and HOME funds through the 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan in projects that will provide public services to low - and moderate -income people to preven t homelessness, rental assistance to low -income households, and projects that provide the infrastructure necessary to facilitate access to public facilities where services are provided. To address underserved needs, the City is allocating the majority of i ts CDBG and HOME funds (excluding Section 108 Debt Service and Administration) for program year 2023-2024 to projects that benefit low- and moderate-income people.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing In the implementation of the 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan, the City will invest HOME funds to foster affordable housing by partnering with housing developers in an effort to support the development of new rental housing units and provide tenant-based rental assistance to low-income tenants requiring affordable housing.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The Residential Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X) emphasizes prevention of childhood lead poisoning through housing -based approaches. To reduce lead -based paint hazards, the City of Palmdale will conduct lead-based paint testing and risk assessments for future rehabilitation projects where the property to be assisted was built prior to January 1, 1978, and will incorporate safe work practices or abatement into the scope of work as required to reduce lead -based paint hazards in accordance with 24 CFR Part 35.
City of Palmdale - 50 - 2023 Annual Action Plan
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The implementation of CDBG and HOME activities meeting the goals established in the 2020 -2024 Consolidated Plan - Strategic Plan and this Annual Action Plan will help to reduce the number of poverty - level families by:
• Supporting activities that increase the su pply of housing that is affordable to low - and moderate- income households;
• Supporting activities that ensure equal access to housing opportunities; • Supporting public service activities that address homelessness and special needs populations; • Supporting activities that improve public facilities and infrastructure; and • Supporting economic opportunity programs to help families recover from the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic that began in early 2020.
In addition to these local efforts, mainstream sta te and federal resources also contribute to reducing the number of individuals and families in poverty. Federal programs such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and Head Start provide pathways out of poverty for families who are ready to pursue employment and educational opportunities. Additionally in California, the primary programs that assist families in poverty are CalWORKS, CalFresh (formerly food stamps) and Medi -Cal. Together, these programs provide individuals and families with employment assistance, s ubsidy for food, medical care, childcare and cash payments to meet basic needs such as housing, nutrition and transportation. Other services are available to assist persons suffering from substance abuse, domestic violence and mental illness.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
To address the lack of resources necessary to support local programs in Palmdale for special needs populations and persons experiencing homelessness, the City’s Departments continue to facilitate strategic regional pa rtnerships in L.A. County to bring resources into the Antelope Valley. The City’s partnership between SAVES and the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank, forged during the previous planning cycle, is an example of the level of determination the City has to provid e essential services to its residents. The Department of Neighborhood Services continues to search for alternate funding sources.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies To enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies, the City will continue consulting with and inviting the participation of a wide variety of agencies and organizations involved in the delivery of housing and supportive services to low - and moderate-income residents in Palmdale — particularly the low-and moderate- income areas.

BACKGROUND
The City of Palmdale Department of Neighborhood Services / Housing Division has prepared a Substantial Amendment to the 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan for the proposed activity SAVES Facility Improvements, the submission of the application for the Section 108 Loan Guarantee, and the expenditure of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.
The Consolidated Plan is prepared every five years and identifies the housing and community development priorities that will be addressed with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds. The Annual Action Plan provides the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) with a summary of the proposed activities to be carried out with CDBG and HOME resources.
DISCUSSION
For more than 38 years, South Antelope Valley Emergency Services (SAVES) has provided food, short-term shelter, clothing, and transportation passes to assist the working poor, disadvantaged, emancipated youth, homeless and senior citizens in the South Antelope Valley who need these services. SAVES serves approximately 6,000 unduplicated clients annually. In its current facility, SAVES offers a weekly food program; clothing for all members of the household; seasonal and holiday programs including holiday food and gift baskets, a birthday program and back-to-school programs; as well as services to individual clients needing temporary shelter, bus passes, and other services to meet the immediate needs of low- and moderate-income households. The day-to-day operations of SAVES and staffing are funded through the City’s CDBG public Report to Mayor and City Council

service funds. Food is provided through a collaboration with the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, federal programs, and daily contributions of local markets, stores, and restaurants.
The City acquired, on October 31, 2022, the property located at 38820 3rd Street East and adjacent vacant land for the new facility for the SAVES. The City is proposing a substantial amendment to add the CDBG activity SAVES Facilities Improvements to assist with the site preparation and relocation of SAVES to the new facility. Facility Improvements include removal of the existing temporary rooms, ADA compliant restrooms, office space, installation of walk-in freezers and a new walk-in refrigerator, replacement of roll up doors, update of heating and cooling equipment, street and parking access improvements, solar energy and charge station for electric vehicles. The current cost estimate for design and improvements is over $5 million dollars.
One of the proposed funding sources for the SAVES Facility Improvements project is the use of Section 108 Loan Guarantee funds offered by HUD. Under the Section 108 program, the City can borrow up to five times their annual CDBG allocation of $1,433,847 less outstanding principal from the prior Section 108 loan and may take up to twenty (20) years to repay the loan, at an estimated rate of $519,000 per year.The proposed request is for $6,000,000 to allow for contingency to cover updated costs and the Section 108 financing fee, currently at 2% of the principal of the loan. When the time comes for the City to draw funds they may request an amount that is under $6 million without submitting amendments to HUD. Proposed collateral includes Legacy Commons and the rehabilitated SAVES facility and adjoining two parcels with an estimated value of over $7,500,000.
The Section 108 Loan approval process requires that the project be identified in the City’s current 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan. In compliance with the City’s approved Citizen’s Participation Plan and CDBG implementing Regulation 24 CFR 92.105, a Public Notice was published in the Antelope Valley Press and posted on the City’s webpage on April 1, 2023 to inform residents that the Amendment to the 2022-2023 Action Plan and Section 108 Application were available for review and comments and the date of the Public Hearing.

Why do you want to

I feel I bring value to the committee based on my work
experience, professional acumen, education, along with our longterm Palmdale residency since 1986 and 35+ years business and community experience in the Antelope Valley.
What is your vision for
Palmdale?
Palmdale is my home where I married my wife who grew up here and where we successfully raised our children!
I have an interest in making our city more family friendly, safe, clean, healthy, recreational, fun, affordable, educational, business centric and attractive for future generations of families! I would like to see funding to go towards cleaning up
neighborhoods, a clean streets program, a neighbor to neighbor program to develop neighborhood unity, building a centralized year round community recreation complex, additional support services for homeless in addiction and mental health support, return of some of our community events, ie Fall Festival.
Please describe your

Currently on Antelope Valley Partners for Health as Chair Elect.
As a Financial Advisor we are registered with the SEC and Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board in order to sell Municipal Securities and must understand those rules and regulations that support the legal process for investors to acquire such securities and municipalities to utilize such securities as a means of financing municipal projects.
As a Community member I have facilitated classes for 25+ years of Ramsey Solutions Financial Peace University- a nine week basic finance program that assists families in getting out of debt into the pathway toward financial wellness and personal wealth building.

I will seek to learn and gather information on all matters before the committee in order to provide constructive feedback free from bias that would best serve all the citizens of the City of Palmdale.
I will give meaningful advice and ideas that could improve the quality of life for all of our citizens. I will seek solutions or compromise with other committee members and Council Persons whenever possible so to create a spirit of progress that betters our community!
I will use my personal experiences and Professional Education to develop questions to help inform all members of the committee and community so we can all be fully transparent and informed.
As a sitting current committee member- I will use what we have walked through in the foundational first months and year to help guide fellow new committee members so to assist them with getting up to speed.

Personal Information
(Please attach additional sheets, if necessary.)

No
3 List all current organizations
and societies of which you
are a member.
None
Describe any public service
experience serving on a
commission or public body?
I do not have any experience with serving
on a commission.
However, my job has me address the board of AVTA
reasonably often.
Why do you want to serve
on the Measure AV
Oversight Committee?
I feel I have become more involved with the community through my job. As I have been participating in my t
iny little corner of
the community, I have noted that nothing changes or moves along without community involvement. Unfortunately, most of those who speak out do so in the most public and inflammatory ways without consideration for anything besides their
i
mmediate concern or need. Although this is just an oversite committee with a minimal scope, I feel this would be an opportunity to bring a measured voice to the committee. It also would give me a start in being actively involved and engaged with the commun
ity I love.
What is your vision for
Palmdale?
I think Palmdale is a decent place to live overall
—
lovely parks,
Equestrian trails, Dry Town Water Park, etc. The new attention paid to the eastside with the new pylons on the bike lanes is not unnoticed. However, graffiti abatement leaves a bit to be desi
red, and the visible rise in the un
-
housed (especially on
Palmdale Boulevard) is getting worse.
I vision a thriving downtown and an eventual revitalization of the mall area with better traffic conditions at that intersection. I don't exactly know how that
would be accomplished. So, I am
glad you only ask for a vision, not a plan.
Please describe your
experience and knowledge
of local government
finance.
I work at Antelope Valley Transit Authority as the Procurement and Contracts Officer. Nearly all of our
funds are Public.
Please describe how you
will contribute to the
Measure AV Oversight
Committee.
I genuinely believe that success as a community is best measured by looking at how the least fortunate of us are doing.
Measure AV and the funds generated fro
m the passing of
Measure AV are primarily aimed at helping these folks and maintaining many essential services that are taken for granted by most citizens. My experience at AVTA gives me a closer look at what happens in our city daily. I feel this may allo w
having a more precise vision of essential needs than some others may have.
Please list three items you
personally think, if funded
appropriately, could
If we designated a few areas explicitly zoned for "food vendors," we could make those areas family
-
friendly and better
enforce the others
operating on every other corner.
4 increase the quality of life
in Palmdale.
Develop a community program with local non
-
profits to create a
Graffiti Abatement Taskforce. Measure AV could fund supplies; some of those needing help in Palmdale could possibly get gift certificates or additional support
if they participate.
Living on the east side, I know that Four Point SM has been an issue for a while, and I have noticed it seems busier over weekends (I am sure the new Pilot is contributing to this). That corner is a prime piece of real estate. It woul
d be nice to either
eliminate the swap meet or partner with them to make this a roadside destination for travelers. (I know this is very eastside specific)...sorry!

Music and Kids a music non-profit
Measure AV Oversight Committee
Describe any public
service experience
serving on a
commission or public
body?
I have spent one year on the Measer AV Oversight Committee and 7 years as President of the nonprofit Music and kids a free music program for underserved Children
Why do you want to
serve on the Measure
AV Oversight
Committee?
At 68 years old I have accomplished the one thing in my life that I set as a goal in music and life. I have celebrated 2 #1 hits on the Billboard international charts. The month after hitting the charts I started the non-profit Music and Kids and for the last 7 years, I have been committed to giving back to my community in
Palmdale. Music and Kids have been managing Gabriel's House for 5 years. Because I am working with 8 to 18-year-old students in the lowest-income areas of Palmdale I feel I have a view of the underserved in Palmdale that few have.
What is your vision for
Palmdale?
Palmdale is 61 percent Hispanic and we as comunity leaders need to keep this in mind a we build out the 25 year plan for Palmdale. We are the last area in southern California / Los Angeal county with the ablity in grow. We need to develop a better focus on education if we want more familys to call palmdale home.
Please describe your
experience and
knowledge of local
government finance.
I studied non-profit and grant writing with a retired educator from Prinston Stephanie Duckworth. I have a good understanding of Palmdale as a non-profit. Local government finance is about managing tax revenue and expenditure decisions of our local government. The three main things to focus on are local budgeting, debt management, and taxation.
Please describe how
you will contribute to
the Measure AV
Oversight Committee.
I will show up and engage and listen before I comment. I will take the job very seriously and continue to build relationships with as many non-profits in our community as possible. By knowing the local non-profits, I will know who they service and how well they are respected in the comunity.
Please list three items
you personally think, if
funded appropriately,
could increase the
quality of life in
Palmdale.
