Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)

1. Introduction
On April 15, 2020, the Rancho Cucamonga City Council adopted the 2020 -2024 Consolidated Plan which described the City's housing and community development needs, strategies and activities to address those needs over a five-year period using entitlement grant funds provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The 2022- 2023 Action Plan is the third of five annual plans implementing the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan Strategic Plan goals via the investment of annual allocations of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from HUD. The Action Plan identifies available resources, annual goals, projects, and activities for the period beginning July 1, 2022, and ending June 30, 2023.

The City receives CDBG funds from HUD on a formula basis each year, and in turn, awards grants and loans to non-profit, for-profit, or public organizations for programs and projects in furtherance of this Plan. The CDBG program provides for a wide range of eligible activities for the benefit of low - and moderate-income Rancho Cucamonga residents, as discussed below.

In addition, the City is a member of the San Bernardino County HOME Consortium. The HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) is an additional HUD formula grant that provides funding to support the acquisition, construction, and rehabilitation of affordable rental and homeownership housing. The County administers the program and oversees HOME activities and programs that occur in Rancho Cucamonga.

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. Those primary 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; or
• 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).

Each year, the City certifies with the submission of its Annual Action Plan that it has given maximum feasible priority to activities, which meet the first and second objectives above. Additionally, the City certifies that no less than 70 percent of the CDBG funds received, over a three-year certification period, will be designed to benefit low- and moderate-income persons.

City of Rancho Cucamonga - 2 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

2022-2023 Program Year
As of the date of the preparation of this document, HUD has not yet released the City’s annual alloc ation.

However, for the 2022-2023 program year, the City anticipates receiving $1,070,323 of CDBG funds. The 2022-2023 Action Plan allocates $ 1,070,323 of CDBG funds to the following program activities to be implemented from July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023.

Due to the uncertainty in the City’s 2022-2023 annual allocation, a request of the City Council is being made to provide staff and the public with a methodology for which activity budgets will be adjusted when the final allocation is released by HUD. It is recommended that City Council adopt the following language for adjusting activity budgets for the CDBG program:
• Should the CDBG allocation be higher than $1,070,323:
o Balance of additional funds will be allocated to the Pecan Ave. & Whittram Ave. Street Improvement Project.
o Funding levels for all outstanding activities will remain the same as proposed in the 2022 - 2023 Action Plan.
• Should the CDBG allocation be lower than $1,070,323:
o Fair Housing services will remain funded at $20,000 but the CDBG Administration budget will be reduced to be compliant with the 20% cap for Administration activities. o All Public Service activities will receive an equitable reduction to be compliant with the 15% cap for Public Service activities.
o Balance of funds will be deducted from the Pecan Ave. & Whittram Ave. Street Improvement Project.
o Funding levels for all outstanding activities will remain the same as proposed in the 2022 - 2023 Action Plan.

2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan HUD's Community Planning and Development (CPD) Outcome Performance Measurement Framework classifies objectives in three (3) categories: decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunity. In consideration of community input as well as the Needs Assessment and Market Analysis, the Strategic Plan identifies five (5) high priority needs to be addressed through the implementation of activities with four (4) Strategic Plan goals.

The high priority needs include:
• Preserve the supply of affordable housing
• Equal access to housing opportunities
• Public services for low- and moderate-income residents • Improve public facilities and infrastructure
• Address material and architectural barriers to accessibility for elderly persons and severely disabled adults
Consistent with HUD 's national goals for the CDBG program to provide decent housing opportunities, maintain a suitable living environment and expand economic opportunities for low - and moderate-income residents, the priority needs listed above will be ad dressed over the next five years through the implementation of CDBG funded activities aligned with the following measurable goals included in the Strategic Plan section of this Plan:

3. Evaluation of past performance
The City is currently implementing the projects and activities included in the 2021 -2022 Action Plan. As of this writing, all projects and activities are underway.

During the 2020-2021 program year, the City and its partnering organizations were able to accomplish the following:
• Fair Housing Services: provided 562 unduplicated residents with fair housing and landlord -tenant mediation services.
• Public Services: provided a range of services to seniors, survivors of domestic violence, and low- and moderate-income families including but not limited to providing meals to 474 elderly individuals, homeless prevention services to 239 people, domestic violence shelter and counseling services for 111 residents, access to food bank services for 690 residents, nutritional health services to 131 people, and skilled care for 100 homebound seniors.
• Affordable Housing Preservation: completed four (4) housing rehabilitations for low - and moderate- income homeowners to address deficient housing conditions. • Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements: The School Crosswalk Improvements and Westerly Sidewalk I mprovements projects commenced and are scheduled for completion during the first quarter of the 2021-2022 program year
• COVID-19 Response: The City of Rancho Cucamonga utilized its CDBG -CV funds to implement an Emergency Housing Assistance activity. This public service program provided up to three (3) months of assistance to low- and moderate-income residents that were negatively impacted by COVID-19.

As a result of these efforts, the City assisted 175 households. The City commenced the implementation of the City’s Emergency Small Business Assistance and Microenterprise Assistance Programs during the 2021-2022 Program Year.

The investment of HUD resources during the 2015- 2019 program years resulted in measurable accomplishments that contributed to positive outcomes for Rancho Cucamonga residents. Together with other federal, state and local investments, HUD resources allowed the City of Ranch o Cucamonga and its partners to:
• Preserve and improve the existing housing stock and ensure equal access through rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing units;
• Provide fair housing services to residents;
• Provide healthy meals to residents;
• Provide transportation services to seniors; and
• Provide homelessness prevention and assistance services to residents.

While the City and local partners were able to successfully implement the activities listed above during the last six (6) years, there were insufficient resources to fully address the level of need for the community.

City of Rancho Cucamonga - 6 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process The Consolidated Plan regulations at 24 CFR Part 91 provide the citizen participation and consultation requirements for the development of the Consolidated Plan. Chief among those requirements is the need to consult with the Continuum of Care (CoC) to address homelessness, Public Housing Authorities (PHA), business leaders, civic leaders and public or private agencies t hat address housing, health, social service, victim services, employment, or education needs of low-income individuals and families, homeless individuals and families, youth and/or other persons with special needs. This qualitative input was combined with a quantitative analysis of demographic, housing and socioeconomic data to develop the strategic plan that reflects the housing, community and economic development needs and priorities for the City over the next five years.

In accordance with the City's Citizen Participation Plan, residents and stakeholders were able to participate in the development of the 2020 -2024 Consolidated Plan through surveys, community meetings and public hearings. Efforts were made to encourage participation by low - and moderate-income persons, particularly those living in areas where HUD funds are proposed to be used, and by residents of predominantly low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. Efforts were made to encourage the participation of minorities and non - English speaking pers ons, as well as persons with disabilities. The consultation process included representatives of the CoC, PHA, and other specified groups who completed surveys, provided local data, and assisted the City to ensure practical coordination of strategies to max imize impact and to avoid duplication of effort.

To satisfy the federal requirements at 24 CFR 91.105(e)(1)(ii), the City held two public hearings to obtain residents' views on housing and community development needs, development of proposed activities, proposed strategies and actions for affirmatively furthering fair housing, and a review of program performance. The City convened the first public hearing on September 15, 2021, to receive comments regarding program performance. A draft of the 2020-2021 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) was made available for public review and comment from August 27, 2021, to September 15, 2021. No public comments were received.

Subsequently, the City made the draft 2022-2023 Action Plan available for public review and comment from March 18, 2022, to April 20, 2022. Residents were invited to review the draft Action Plan and to attend the Public Hearing on April 20, 2022 or submit written comments concerning the housing and community development needs, proposed projects and activities in the Action Plan, as well as proposed strategies and actions for affirmatively furthering fair housing. No public comments were received.

AP-10 Consultation – 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)

1. Introduction
The City consulted with representatives from multiple agencies, groups, and organizations involved in the preservation of affordable housing and the provision of services to low - and moderate-income residents, including but not limited to children, elderly persons, persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, and homeless persons. To facilitate the con sultation process, the City solicited feedback through the following methods:
• Survey of residents and stakeholders (web-based and paper-surveys) • Individual stakeholder consultations
• Community meetings
• Public hearings
• Receipt of written comments
To gather the greatest breadth and depth of information, the City consulted with a wide variety of agencies, groups and organizations concerning the housing, community and economic development needs of the community. Each of the agencies, groups or organizations invited to consult and participate in the planning process is represented in Table 3. The input received from these consultations helped establish and inform the objectives and goals described in the Strategic Plan.

Provide a concise summary of the jurisdictio n's activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(I)).

The City recognizes the importance of careful coordination and alignment among various service providers to maximize the effectiveness of the CDBG programs. As a result, during the development of the Consolidated Plan, the City consulted with organizations that provide assisted housing, health services and other community-focused programs. Outreach efforts included surveys, invitations to community meetings, and follow-up in-person interviews where appropriate.

The City further recognizes the importance of continued coordination and alignment during the upcoming five-year planning period wit h these organizations and agencies. The City will reinforce these partnerships through the implementation of the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) process for CDBG funds each year and through technical assistance provided to subrecipients.

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 San Bernardino County's homeless Continuum of Care (CoC) is comprised of a network of public, private, faith-based, for-profit, and non-profit service providers who utilize several federal, state and local resources

City of Rancho Cucamonga - 10 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

to provide services for homeless people. The region 's municipalities, including the City, also provide resources for services that assist the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless. The non-profit and faith-based community plays a key role in the current 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 non-profit and faith-based community also serves special needs populations, such as victims of domestic violence, veterans, the disabled and youth.

The CoC guides the developmen t of homeless strategies and the implementation of programs to end homelessness throughout the region. The City provided a detailed questionnaire to the CoC to identify the CoC's perceived needs in the county and its objectives to address the needs of diff erent 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 f ollowed up with the CoC to clarify existing needs and objectives and understand opportunities for collaboration and coordination during the five-year planning process.

To address the City's homeless, the City utilizes CDBG funds to provide public and suppo rtive services to prevent homelessness and/or aid those who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. Homeless supportive and prevention services funded through the City's CDBG 2022-2023 program year include:
• House of Ruth – Provides shelter (transitional housing), programs, education, and opportunities for safe, self-sufficient, healthy living for battered women and their children who are at-risk of homelessness. • Foothill Family Shelter – Provides a 120-day transitional housing shelter for homeless families with children. • Impact Southern California – Provides case management, tenant rights counseling, and one-time payments for housing security deposits and/or rent for individuals experiencing homelessnes s or at risk of homelessness.
• Inland Valley Hope Partners – Food security and family stabilization • Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board – Addresses fair housing mediation and landlord-tenant dispute resolution services, which helps prevent homelessness.

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
Although not a direct Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) entitlement community, the City consulted with a number of housing, social services, governmental and other entities involved in housing and community development in the City. Through these c onsultations, the City identified the holistic needs of the community, including those for extremely low -income households and homeless households individuals and how the City can continue to effectively coordinate with regional

City of Rancho Cucamonga - 11 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

homeless service providers to best meet the needs of these populations. The CoC was consulted directly in person, by telephone and email to discuss performance standards, outcomes, and policies and procedures for HMIS.

Table 3 provides a listing of the entities consulted as part of this planning process.

Describe cooperation and coordination with other public entities, including the State and any adjacent units of general local government, in the implementation of the Consolidated Plan (91.215(l)) To enhance coordination among the CoC, public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies, the City invited each of these entities to provide input on the needs of the community in the development of this Consolidated Plan.

The Planning Depart ment works with subrecipients of CDBG funds to ensure a coordinated effort among service agencies in the region to address the needs of the City’s residents, including but not limited to , chronically homeless individuals and families, families with childre n, veterans and their families, unaccompanied youth, and persons who were recently homeless but now liv ing in permanent housing. To promote economic opportunities for low -income residents, the City coordinates with subrecipient social service agencies, businesses and housing developers to ensure that where there are job opportunities for low-income people in connection with HUD -assisted projects, information is disseminated through appropriate channels consistent with the objectives of Section 3 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1968.

AP-12 Participation – 91.105, 91.200(c)

1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation The City established and followed a process for the development of the five-year Consolidated Plan that included broad participation from the community. These activities were coordinated and implemented by the Planning Department.

To assist in the identification of priority needs in the City, a survey was prepared and distributed to residents of the City to solicit resident input in the prioritization of needs related to community services, community facilities, infrastructure, neighborhood services, special needs services, businesses and jobs, and housing.

The surveys were available online and were also made available at various public facilities.

Two community meetings to discuss the housing and community development needs in the community were held on September 19, 2019, and October 19, 2019. At each step in the process, th e City was careful to ensure that low - and moderate-income residents, members of minority groups, agencies involved in the provision of services to these populations, and others who are directly impacted by the programs and activities supported by the Consolidated Plan programs had the opportunity to be actively involved.

Two public hearings were held at different stages in the development of the Consolidated Plan. The first public hearing before the City Council on September 18, 2019 , focused on the Citize n Participation Plan.

The second public hearing was held on April 15, 2020, before the City Council to receive comments on the draft 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan, and 2020-2024 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice.

To satisfy the federal requirements at 24 CFR 91.105(e)(1)(ii), the City held two public hearings to obtain residents' views on housing and community development needs, development of proposed activities, proposed strategies and actions for affirmatively fur thering fair housing, and a review of program performance. The City of Rancho Cucamonga convened the first public hearing on September 15, 2021, to receive comments regarding program performance. A draft of the 2020- 2021 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) was made available for public review and comment from August 27, 2021, to September 15, 2021. No public comments were received.

Subsequently, the City made the draft 2022-2023 Action Plan available for public review and comment from March 18, 2022, to April 20, 2022. Residents were invited to review the draft Action Plan and to attend the Public Hearing on April 20, 2022 or submit written comments concerning the housing and community development needs, proposed projects and activities in the Action Plan, as well as proposed strategies and actions for affirmatively furthering fair housing. No public comments were received.

During the development of the 2022-2023 Action Plan, the City solicited applications from various non-profit organizations and City Departments for the provision of fair housing services, public services, and community and economic development projects. Applications received by the January 21, 2022, deadline were evaluated for eligibility and funding recommendations.

Expected Resources
AP-15 Expected Resources – 91.220(c)(1,2)
Introduction
The projects and activities included in the 2022-2023 Action 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, 2022, through June 30, 2023. The actual resources available to support activities during the implementation of the remainder of the 2020 -2024 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 the economic conditions.

For the 2022-2023 Program Year, the City has been informed by HUD that it will receive $1,070,323 in CDBG funds.

Table 6 - Expected Resources – Priority Table

City of Rancho Cucamonga - 29 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied As a City with substantial housing and community development needs, Rancho Cucamonga needs to leverage its CDBG entitlement grants with a variety of funding resources in order t o maximize the effectiveness of available funds. The City's former Redevelopment Agency was the City's primary non-federal source of leveraged funds. With the elimination of the City 's Redevelopment Agency, the City 's ability to leverage federal funds has been substantially reduced.

Since the initial planning and programming of these resources, the Planning Department has worked closely with other City departments as well as County, State, and Federal partners to identify other available resources authori zed through the CARES Act, the Small Business Administration (SBA), and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that may be leveraged to maximize the impact of the CDBG and CDBG-CV resources.

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
• Department of Transportation Grants
• Department of Energy Grants
• Federal Highway Administration
• Emergency Solutions Grant
• HOME Investment Partnerships
• CARES Act
• Project Homekey
State Resources
• State Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program
• Building Equity and Growth in Neighborhoods Program (BEGIN) • CalHome Program
• Multifamily Housing Program (MHP)
• Housing Related Parks Grant
• CalHFA Single and Multi-Family Program
• Mental Health Service Act (MHSA) Funding
• Prop 47 – Board of State & Community Corrections

City of Rancho Cucamonga - 30 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

• Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program
• Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP)
• Project Roomkey
Local Resources
• San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership (SBCHP)
• Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) • Southern California Home Financing Authority (SCHFA) Funding • San Bernardino County Continuum of Care Program
• General Fund
Private Resources
• Federal Home Loan Bank Affordable Housing Program (AHP) • Community Reinvestment Act Programs
• United Way Funding
• Private Contributions
HOME Matching Requirements
The City does not receive HOME or ESG funds as part of its entitlement allocation. The amount of matching, is therefore, not applicable for the 2022-2023 Action Plan.

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 December 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill 1X 26, which barred Redevelopment Agencies from engaging in new business and provided for their windup and dissolution. In the last five years, the elimination of the Redevelopment Agencies has resulted in the loss of a crucial resource for the development and preservation of affordable housing. This was the most significant public policy change impacting affordable housing and residential investment. While ther e are mechanisms whereby certain affordable housing assets are tied to the former Redevelopment Agencies (Successor Agencies) that may be utilized today, these resources are finite and scarce.

As of the execution of this document, there are currently no p ublicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan. As such, any land or property necessary to address the needs in the Consolidated Plan would need to be acquired using HUD grant funds or other resources.

City of Rancho Cucamonga - 31 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

Discussion
During July 2022 through June 2023, the City will rely on 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 market real estate investments
• Market rate housing that subsidizes affordable units on the same development site to enhance the availability, affordability and sustainability of affordable housing.

Along with leveraged dollars, the City expects to spend approximately $1,070,323 of CDBG funds during the 2022-2023 program year on public service, housing preservation and public facility and infrastructure improvement activities that promote a suitable living environment and decent housing.

AP-35 Projects – 91.220(d)
Introduction
To address the high priority needs identified in the Strategic Plan to the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, the City will invest CDBG funds in projects that provide fair housing services, provide public services to low- and moderate-income residents, preserve affordable housing and improve the City 's public faci lities and infrastructure.

Table 8 - Project Information
Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs Based on the Strategic Plan, the City is allocating 67 percent of its CDBG funds (excluding CDBG administration) for program year 2022- 2023 projects and activities that benefit low - and moderate-income people. Due to the nature of the projects and activities to be undertaken, investments in projects concerning public services may be limited to the CDBG low - and moderate- income areas while oth er projects and activities benefit low- and moderate-income limited clientele and are available citywide. During the 2022 - 2023 program year, the City will be allocating $290,000 towards the Pecan and Whittram Street Improvement Project which will be addressing the slum and blight national objective.

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 funds through the 202 2-2023 Action Plan in projects that provide loans to low - and moderate -income homeowners for home improvements, provide public services to low- and moderate-income residents, and improve public facilities and infrastructure.

AP-50 Geographic Distribution – 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low -income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
During the 2022- 2023 program year, assistance will be primarily directed to activities that serve low - and moderate-income residents citywide. During the program year, three (3) public service activities in the Action Plan rely on the established low - and moderate-income area. Those are the CDBG-eligible portions of the Graffiti Removal Program, the Farmer's Market Partnership Program as well as the CASA or Cooking with Healthy and Happy Friends activities.

The low- and moderate-income census tract/block groups are shown on the map included in Figure 26 of Section SP-10 of the Consolidated Plan and Appendix B of this Action Plan. According to data from the 2011- 2015 American Community Survey (ACS) provided in HUD's eCon Planning Suite, the City is considered an "exception grantee " with an exception percentage of 37.13. This percentage represents the minimum percentage of low - and moderate-income persons that must reside in the service area of an area benefit activity for the activity to be assisted with CDBG funds.

Table 9 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically For the 2022-2023 program year, the City will invest $1,070,323 of CDBG funds that will benefit low - and moderate-income people throughout the City. Of this amount, approximately $44,000, or 4.1 percent, of all resources will be invested in public service activities that exclusively benefit residents of the L/M Income Census Tract/Block Groups. Due to the nature of the projects and activities to be undertaken , investments in projects and activities such as CASA, Graffiti Removal and the Farmer's Market are generally limited to the eligible low- and moderate-income areas, while other projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate- income limited clientele are available citywide. During the 2022 -2023 program year, the City will allocate $290,000 towards the Pecan and Whittram Street Improvement Project which will address the slum & blight national objective.

City of Rancho Cucamonga - 42 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

Affordable Housing
AP-75 Barriers to Affordable Housing
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 (draft 2021-2029 Housing Element) and market analysis, the primary barriers to affordable housing in Rancho Cucamonga 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 neg ative 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 controls, 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. Action plans identified in the City’s draft 2021- 2029 Housing Element include but are not limited to:
• Continue to promote the conservation of mobile home parks through implementation of the Mobile Home Accord (Program HE -7) that serves as a rent stabilization agreement between the City and mobile home park owners, implementation of the Mobile Home Rental Assistance (Program HE- 8) that provides a monthly rental subsidy to low -income mobile home households, and through the enforcement of Title 24 as it applies to mobile homes to ensure mobile homes meet applicable building code requirements.
• Develop a procedure in 2022 to monitor the development of vacant and nonvacant sites in the sites inventory and ensure that adequate sites are available to meet the remaining RHNA by income category throughout the 6th cycle planning period.
• Explore, in 2023, a system that establishes target densities by land use district and an in -lieu fee system that requires developers to pay a fee if the proposed projects fall below the targeted densities.

City of Rancho Cucamonga - 43 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

• Develop incentives and tools to facilitate ADU construction in 2022. Incentives may include:
o Fee waivers or reductions beyond State requirement;
o Pre-approved site/floor plans;
o Website information on resources and technical assistance; o Guidance handbook for property owners looking to construct an ADU. • Provide fee underwriting, fee deferral, public improvements, and/or permit fast -tracking for housing affordable to lower income households, prioritizing projects that include units affordable to extremely low-income households.
• Continue to evaluate and improve the permit processing procedures to facilitate residential development.
• Continue to study the feasibility of an inclusionary housing ordinance in 2022-2023. • Update the Development Code by the end of 2022 to address the provision of special needs housing. • Update the Development Code by the end of 2022 to incorporate the new density bonus provisions.

Key improvements and bonuses included to help increase the development of affordable housing include but are not limited to:
• Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) can provide an importance source of affordable housing for persons and families of low and moderate income. An ADU is defined as “an attached or detached residential dwelling unit which provides complete independent living facilities for one or more persons. It shall include permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking and sanitation on the same parcel as a single- family or multi- family dwelling is situated”. The City adopted an updated accessory dwelling unit (ADU) ordinance in 2020 which complies with State requirements. Per the ordinance, ADUs are permitted by -right in any zone in which residential development in permitted and on any parcel with an existing or proposed single or multi-family residence. • A Housing Program has been added to update Development Code Chapter 17.46 to comply with the new State provisions related to affordable housing density bonuses. The City's Affordable Housing Incentives/Density Bonus Provisions assist in the development of affordable housing opportunities in accordance with Government Code § 65915 -65918. These provisions allow a density bonus and other regulatory concessions to provide incentives for "the production of housing for very low income, lower income, moderate income, and senior households" to "facilitate the development of affordable housing" within the City. The provisions function by allowing a reduction in development standards in exchange for the development of affordable housing units. Regulatory concessions act as incentives, which can include reduced building setbacks, reduced open space, increased lot coverage, increased maximum building height, reduced on-site parking standards, reduced minimum building separation requirements, or other site or construction conditions applicable to residential development.
• To increase transparency and certainty in the development application process as requ ired by law, the City has a variety of tools available for developers. The City’s community Development home page provides links to an online permit center, development fees, the development code, and other development information at https://www.cityofrc.us/community-development .

City of Rancho Cucamonga - 44 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

The following are the City’s goals to reduce government constraints and increase the efficiency in processing for improving and developing housing as defined in draft 2021-2029 Housing Element:
• Development Review Process - . Consider new polices, codes, and procedures that have the potential to reduce procedural delays, provide information early in the development process regarding development costs, and charge only those fees necessary to adequately carry out needed public services and improvements.
• Fee Schedule - Periodically review and update the City's fee schedule and the methodology on which the fees are based to determine the necessary costs for providing adequate p ublic services and public improvements to ensure the continued health, safety, and welfare of the community. • Development Review Process - Facilitate the development review process for new housing through multiple techniques, including staff assistance, pub lic information, articles in the City's newsletter, informal meetings with applicants, and Preliminary Review applications to address technical issues and facilitate the production of quality housing.
• Development Standards - Evaluate and adjust as appropri ate residential development standards, regulations, and processing procedures that are determined to constrain housing development, particularly housing opportunities for lower and moderate- income households and for persons with special needs.

Discussion
To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, the City will continue to leverage its CDBG funds to attract private and other available public resources to incentivize the development of new affordable housing units and the preservation of existing affordable housing.

City of Rancho Cucamonga - 45 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction
In the implementation of the 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG resources to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, foster and maintain affordable housing, reduce lead -based paint hazards, reduce the number of poverty -level families, develop institutional structur e, 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, and the high cost of housing that is not affordable to low-income people. To address these obstacles, the City is investing CDBG funds through the 202 2-2023 Action Plan in projects that provide assistance to low - and moderate- income residents. To address underserved needs, the City is allocating 67 percent of its non-administrative CDBG investments for program year 2022-2023 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate-income people or people presumed under HUD regulations to be low- and moderate-income.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing In the implementation of the 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG funds to preserve and maintain affordable housing through the City 's Housing Rehabilitation Program that will provide grants and deferred loans to low- and moderate-income owners of single-family 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 ’s Home Improvement Program will conduct lead-based paint testing and risk assessments for each property assisted that 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.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The implementation of CDBG 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:

In addition to these local efforts, mainstream state 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 a pathway 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 prog rams provide individuals and families with employment assistance, subsidy for food, medical care, childcare and cash payments to meet basic needs such as housing, nutrition and transportation.
