PUBLIC HEARING: SUBMITTAL OF PUBLIC HOUSING
AGENCY ANNUAL PLAN (2022) TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF
HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
Recommendation: It is recommended that the City of Pasadena (the "City"), as Successor Agency to the Pasadena Community Development Commission, after a public hearing:
(1) Find that the recommended action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines per 15061 (b)(3), the "common sense" provision that CEQA only applies to projects that may have a significant effect on the environment; and
(2) Approve the City's Public Housing Agency Annual Plan (2022), and authorize the Interim City Manager to execute any and all documents regarding its submittal to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
