Grandfathered Pr ovision: For customer accounts established before December 1, 2018:

The net surplus compensation rate shall be equivalent to the highest hourly rate that was charged for consumption in their OAT during the year prior to the Customer’s Annual Billing Date. This provision will remain in effect for fifteen (15) years from the Customer’s original year in which the generating facility was interconnected to RCMU’s grid. After tha t period expires, the Customer will receive the current net s urplus compensation that is being offered at that time.

D. Rates

1. All rates charged under this schedule will be in accordance with the Eligible Customer-Generator’s otherwise applicable tariff (OAT) or rate schedule. An Eligible Customer -Generator s erved under this schedule is responsible for all charges in its OAT including the monthly or annual minimum charges (including service, customer, reliability and demand charges, when applicable) regardless of the Customer’s monthly or annual net generation.

Eligible Customers under this schedule are subject to any new or additional charge(s) that may be imposed by the Utility on the other customer in the rate class to which Customer would otherwise be assigned.

2. As determined in each billing period, when a customer consumes more energy than generated at the premises (net consumer), the net consumed energy will be used in the calculation of all applicable energy charges, calculated by multi plying the net amount consumed by the applicable energy rate components of the customer’s OAT.

Resolution No. 23-XXX - Page 29 of 42

ELECTRIC RATES & TARIFFS
27 Effective Date: July 1, 2022

3. As deter mined in each billing period, when a customer generates more energy than is consumed by the customer (net generator) , the resulting net produced energy will be calculated by multiplying the net produced kWh by the applicable energy rate component of the Customer’s OAT (including TOU periods) and be a credit on the bill. Any net kilowatt-hours of production credit that exceeds the net consumed energy, will be carried forward into the next billing period.

If the Cus tomer’s OAT includes “time of use” (TOU) rat es, any net energy consumed monthly sha ll be calculated according to the terms of the OAT. When the customer is a net generator during any TOU period, the net kilowatt-hours generated shall be valued at the same price per kilowatt -hour as the Utility would charge during that same TOU period.

4. Customer s who are Net Surplus Electricity producers at the Customer’s Annual True-Up Date, may elect to either carry over annual Net Surplus Energy production (in kilowatt hours) as a credit tha t will be applied to kilowatt hours consumed by the Customer or Customer may elect to receive payment to cash out the remaining Net Surplus Energy.

D. Special Condition

1. An executed Net Energy Metering and Generating Facility In terconnection Agreement is required prior to receiving service under this Schedule.

2. Metering Requirements: If the customer’s existing meter is not capable of measuring the flow of energy in two directions, an appropriate meter shall be provided at the expense of the customer .

STANDBY DEMAND CAPACITY RESERVATION CHARGE
(SELF GENERATION)

A. Applicability
Applicable to Large Commercial and Lar ge Industrial customers who operates a non -net metered, non-utility generating facility rated at 1000 kW or less, interconnected on the Customer’s premises and operates in parallel with the City’ s electric system. The generating facility is intended primar ily to offset part or al l of the customer’s own electrical requirements and meets all the applicable safety and performance standards.

Standby service customer s have unique electric demands, d ue to their on- site generation assets, that are often quite d ifferent from those of full requirement cust omers. These customers pay standby rates so that they may, in the event of a planned or unplanned outage of their non -utility generating system, take s ervice from the City electric system.

The City bears an “obligation to serve” and must configure their system to allow every customer reliable access to the grid. The standby charge is designed to recover the costs of trans mission and distribution facilities, as well as substation and transformers dedicated to the customer’s use that do not vary with usage in maintaining sufficient capacity (through operating reserves) in order to serve an unplanned outage, even if such an o utage never occurs. The standby charge also includes appropriate service voltage level distinctions: secondary and primary.

B. Territory
The entire territory served.

C. Rates

1. Rates for this service shall be the same as for the schedule under which the customer’s otherwise applicable rate schedule shall apply.

2. Standby Demand Capacity Reservation Char ge (CRC): A CRC shall be a flat $/kW amount applied to the Standby Demand in kW, which represents the entire reserved capacity needed for the City to serve the self-generation customer’s load, which would have been regularly served by the customer’s genera ting facility when such facility experiences a partial or complete outage. The level of Standby Demand shall be provided by the customer and shall not exceed the nameplate capacity of the customer’s generating facility.

Standby Charge – Secondary ($/kW) Standby Charge – Primary ($/kW) $8.61 $7.61

3. Demand Charge: As determined in each billing period, a Standby Service customer’s billing demand shall be the kilowatts of Maximum Demand indicated or recorded by instruments, determined to the nearest kW of the absolute net power that the customer received from the City’s electric system. T he Demand Resolution No. 23-XXX - Page 35 of 42

CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA MUNICIPAL UTILITY

ELECTRIC RATES & TARIFFS
33 Effective Date: July 1, 2022
Charge for each time period shall be based on the Maximum Demand for that time period occurring during the respective monthly billing period.

4. Energy Charge: As de termined in each billing period, when a Standby Service customer consumes more energy than generated at the premises, the net consumed energy will be used in the calculation of all applicable ene rgy charges. All Energy shall be billed in accordance with the customer’s Otherwise Applicable Tariff rate schedule which would otherwise apply if the customer had no generating equipment.

5. Other charges: All other specifi c rate components, including the Power Factor Adjustment Charge, Customer Charge and the State Electric SurTax will not vary based on registered usage or demand of the customer’s generating facility.

D. Special Conditions

1. Contract Required - Customer shall sign an Interconnection Agreement contract for this service, which shall state the number of kW of standby capacity r equired. "Standby ca pacity" shall not exceed the nameplate rating of the customer’s generating equipment.

2. Metering Requirements - If the customer’s existing meter is not capable of measuring the flow of energy in two directions, an appropriate meter shall be provided at the expense of the customer. The City may elect to install an additional meter or meters, at the customer’s expense to provide the information necessary to accurately bill or credit the customer.

3. The CRC tariff is only applicable to Standby Service customers who require electric capacity and energy supplied by the City on a regular basis to supplement the Customer’s power requirement in addition to that ordinarily supplied by the on-site non- utility generation facilities. If a customer has a planned generato r outage with prior notification given to RCMU for an entire billing period the standby charge will not be applicable.

4. Customers exempted from the CRC tariff:

(a) Customers with backup on- site generation that is us ed exclusively when service from the utility is not available in the event of an interruption in utility service and which are not used to offset Customer electricity purchases. (b) The applicability of these exemptions shall be determined at the discretion of the Utilities Manager.

5. Standby Demand i n kW represents the entire reserved cap acity needed for the City to serve the customer’s load, regularly served by the customer’s generating facility when such facility experiences a partial or complete outage. The level of Standby Demand, which shall not exceed the nameplate capacity of the customer’s generating facility, is initially designated by the customer and is se t forth in the generation interconnection agreement. Once a customer’s designated Resolution No. 23-XXX - Page 36 of 42

CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA MUNICIPAL UTILITY

ELECTRIC RATES & TARIFFS
34 Effective Date: July 1, 2022
Standby Demand has been set, it shall remain at such lev el for a minimum of 12 months unless, in the City’s determination, the Standby Demand needs to be adjusted to more accurately represent the customer’s actual reserve capacity needs. Upon the City’s determination that the customer’s desi gnated Standby Demand does not reflect the actual level of needed reserve capacity, over any 15- minute period or through on- site verificat ion, the City shall adjust the Standby Demand to reflect the actual needed reserve capacity. When the Standby Demand is adjusted by the City as provided above, a qualified change in the Standby Demand shall not be made for 12 months from the last adjustment. The customer is responsible for notifying the City of permanent or material changes in thei r generation facilities (size, type and operations) for future adjustments to the Standby Demand.

6. Diversity Factor - a statistical assumption that a certain perc entage of standby load will be utilizing substation and distribution service between each clas s’ peak demand and the s ystem peak demand . T his factor was determined using the diversity factors calculated in the utility’s most recent cost of service study an d is embedded in the current CRC tariff. A percentage difference was identified as the diversity factor and the distr ibution and substation portion of the standby rates were reduced accordingly reflecting a reduction in those infrastructure requirements.

E. Billing Calculation
A Customer’s bill is calculated according to the rates and conditions above. The charges are calculated by applying t he Rate Charges on the customer’s applicable nameplate generation capacity for the generating unit at the customer’s f acility. All other usage provided by RCMU will be based on the applicable rate tariff, including any riders or additional charges.

Customers served under this Schedule shall pay both energy and non-energy charges on a monthly basis, in accordance with the customer’s Otherwise Applicable Tariff except as otherwise allowed by State law.

B. Territory
Within the entire territory served.

C. Calculation
The PCAF will be calculated using the most recent six (6) month’s actual power cost and applied to each customer’s following monthly billed energy (kWh).

The Adjustment shall be calculated according to the following formula:

PCAF = ((P/S) + L) – B
P = Wholesale power supplier cost*
S = Number of kilowatt-hours sold during the same time period as factor “P” L = System annual average losses
B = The average cost of power per kilowatt-hour sold and recovered through base retail rates
*Power Supplier Costs shall include all costs of power supply including but not limited to costs of power production, power purchases, transmission and wheeling payments, losses, CAISO, capacity, REC’s, environmental allowances and scheduling and dispatching.

D. Special Conditions

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 2023-2024 Action Plan is the fourth of five annual plans implementing the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan Strategic Plan goals via the investment of annual allocat ions 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, 2023, and ending June 30, 2024.

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 fund ing 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 (3) 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 (1) 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 - 2023 Annual Action Plan

2023-2024 Program Year
During the 2023-2024 program year, the City will receive $1,034,584 of CDBG funds. The 2023-2024 Action Plan will allocate its current year CDBG allocation of $ 1,034,584 and $59,009 in prior year unprogrammed CDBG funds for a total budget of $1,093,593 to the following program activities to be implemented from July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024.

In the event that the City’s 2023-2024 annual allocation should change, a request of the City Council is being made to provide staff and the public with a methodology for which activity budgets would be adjusted. It is recommended that City Council adopt the following la nguage for adjusting activity budgets for the CDBG program should the City’s 2023-2024 annual allocation change:
• Should the CDBG allocation be higher than $1,034,584:
o Balance of additional funds will be allocated to the City’s Concrete Rehabilitation Project. o Funding levels for all outstanding activities will remain the same as proposed in the 202 3- 2024 Action Plan.
• Should the CDBG allocation be lower than $1,034,584:
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 t he 15% cap for Public Service activities.
o Balance of funds will be deducted from the City’s Home Improvement Program. o Funding levels for all outstanding activities will remain the same as proposed in the 202 3- 2024 Action Plan.

3. Evaluation of past performance
The City is currently implementing the projects and activities included in the 202 2-2023 Action Plan. As of this writing, all projects and activities are underway.

During the 2021-2022 program year, the City and its partnering organizations were able to accomplish the following:
• Fair Housing Services: Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board provided 372 unduplicated residents with fair housing and landlord-tenant mediation services. • Public Services: Five (5) non-profit organizations and multiple City Departments provided a range of services to Rancho Cucamonga seniors, survivors of domestic vi olence, and low - and moderate- income families including but not limited to providing meals to 736 elderly individuals, homeless prevention services to 198 people, domestic violence shelter and counseling services for 44 residents, access to food bank services for 132 residents, nutritional health services to 153 people, and skilled care for 20 Rancho Cucamonga homebound seniors. • Affordable Housing Preservation: The City’s Home Improvement Program completed five (5) housing rehabilitations for low- and moderate-income homeowners to address deficient housing conditions. • Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements: The City completed its annual Sidewalk Grinding Project which assisted 16,330 people. In addition, the City awarded and commenced construction of its 2021-2022 Concrete Rehabilitation Project. The project is anticipated to be completed during the first half of the 2022 -2023 program year and is anticipated to assisted approximately 15,000 unduplicated residents.
• COVID-19 Response: The City of Rancho Cucamonga invested its CDBG -CV funds into the Small Business Assistance and Microenterprise Assistance programs. The Business Relief programs were economic development activities that provided grants to micro - and small businesses adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The business relief programs were rolled out in May of 2021.

During the 2021-2022 program year, the City was able to assist 10 microenterprise businesses and 36 small business with financial assistance to pay for eligible expense s including but not limited to payroll, rent, utilities, and equipment.

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 prov iding 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.

City of Rancho Cucamonga - 6 - 2023 Annual Action Plan

• Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements: The School Crosswalk Improvements and Westerly Sidewalk Improvements 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. Th e 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 Rancho Cucamonga and its partners to:
• Preserve and improve the existing housing st ock 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 seven (7) years, there were insufficient resources to fully address the level of need for the community.

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 that 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 dev elop the strategic plan that reflects the housing, community and economic development needs and priorities for the City during the Five- Year Consolidated Plan cycle.

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 -

City of Rancho Cucamonga - 7 - 2023 Annual Action Plan

English speaking persons, 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 maximize 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 furtherin g fair housing, and a review of program performance. The City convened the first public hearing on September 21, 2022, to receive comments regarding program performance. A draft of the 2021-2022 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) was made available for public review and comment from September 2, 2022, to September 21, 2022. No public comments were received.

Subsequently, the City made the draft 2023-2024 Action Plan available for public review and comment from March 17, 2023, to April 19, 2023. Residents were invited to review the draft Action Plan and to attend the Public Hearing on April 19, 2023 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 2023-2024 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. Application s received by the February 2 , 2023, deadline were evaluated for eligibility and funding recommendations.

5. Summary of public comments
As required by HUD regulations, all comments received, and responses to said comments by the City are summarized in section AP -12 of this Action Plan. No comments were received during the April 19, 2023, public hearing.

6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them All comments and views received by the City in the development of the Action Plan were accepted and taken into consideration in the development of the Action Plan.

7. Summary

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 consultation 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 jurisdiction '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 with t hese 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 - 2023 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 t he 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 development of homeless strategies and the implementation of programs to end homelessness throughout the region. The Ci ty 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 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 five-year planning process.

To address the City's homeless population, the City utilizes CDBG funds to provide public and supportive 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 2023-2024 program year include:
• Foothill Family Shelter – Provides homeless and low-income individuals and families with housing and food security.
• Impact Southern California – Provides case management, tenant rights counseling, and one-time payments for housing security deposits and/or rent for individuals experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness.
• Inland Valley Hope Partners – Provides homeless and low-income individuals and families with housing and food security.
• 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 consultations, 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

Table 4 - Other local / regional / federal planning efforts 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 a nd 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 Department 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 children, 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 th at 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.

Narrative
Broadband

Throughout the City, residents have consistent and multiple options to access broadband, high -speed internet. For broadband download speeds of 25 megabytes per second (mbps), 100 percent of households are covered by at least three internet service providers. For download speeds of at least 100 mbps, 30.2 percent of households are covered by three providers, 47.8 percent of households are covered by two

City of Rancho Cucamonga - 18 - 2023 Annual Action Plan

providers and 22 percent of households are covered by one provider. According to broadbandnow, the average download speed in Rancho Cucamonga is 60.8 mbps, which is 100 percent faster than the average internet speed in California. The three primary internet service providers in Rancho Cucamonga are Spectrum, Frontier and UIA.

Rancho Cucam onga complies with HUD’s Narrowing the Digital Divide Through Installation of Broadband Infrastructure in HUD-Funded New Construction and Substantial Rehabilitation of Multifamily Rental Housing (81 FR 92626) rule (effective January 19, 2017). Through this rule, all new HUD-funded multi-family construction or substantial rehabilitation has included broadband infrastructure including cables, fiber optics, wiring and wireless connectivity to ensure that each unit has the infrastructure to achieve at least 25 mbps download and 3 mbps upload speeds.

A number of broadband and internet service providers operate in the City. This helps with increased competition in pricing and types of services offered to low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.

Of those who participated in the community outreach survey, 92% indicated that they had access to broadband internet. 38 percent of the respondents indicated that they spend more than $75 per month for service, while 16 percent spent less than $50 per month. There were some respondents, who believed that the City should allow more internet service providers in the area to reduce the costs. Even though only eight percent of the respondents did not have internet service, the cost for this service could be cost prohibitive on fixed incomes. The public library, senior center and the City’s community centers have computers and internet access for the public who could not otherwise afford the service.

Resilience

The City consulted with a number of local and regional agencies and companies in the preparation of it s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP). Some of these agencies and companies included but were not limited to: Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District, DoIT – GIS, San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, Fehr & Peers, Alta Loma School District, Cal Fire, Chaffey College, California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The purpose of the LHMP is to focus on optimizing the mitigation phase of harm caused by a disaster. Mitigation involves making a community more resilient so that when hazard events do ultimately occur, the community suffers less damage and can recover more quickly and effectively. It differs from preparedness, which involves advanced planning for how best to respond when a disaster occurs or is imminent. The following new key goals were identified through consultation to increase resiliency:

• Protect against threats from natural hazards to life, injury, and property damage for Rancho Cucamonga residents and visitors.
• Increase public awareness of potential hazard events. • Preserve critical services and functions by protecting key facilities and infrastructure. • Protect natural systems from current and future hazard conditions. • Coordinate mitigation activities among City departments, neighboring jurisdictions, and with federal agencies; and
• Prepare for long-term climate change.

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 th e 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 (2) 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, the 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 (2) 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 Citizen 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 (2) 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 21, 2022, to receive comments regarding program performance. A draft of the 2021-2022 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) was made available for public review and comment from September 2, 2022, to September 21, 2022. No public comments were received.

Subsequently, the City made the draft 2023-2024 Action Plan available for public review and comment from March 17, 2023, to April 19, 2023. Residents were invited to review the draft Action Plan and to attend the Public Hearing on April 19, 2023 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 2023-2024 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. Application s received by the February 2, 2023 , 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 2023-2024 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, 2023, through June 30, 2024. 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 several factors such as the amount of the national appropriation, changes in ACS population d ata 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 2023-2024 Program Year, the City has been informed by HUD that it will receive $ 1,034,584 in CDBG funds. In addition, the City will be reallocating $59,009 in prior year uncommitted CDBG funds during the 2023-2024 program year.

Table 6 - Expected Resources – Priority Table

City of Rancho Cucamonga - 31 - 2023 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 to 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 eli mination 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 authorized 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.

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
• Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program

City of Rancho Cucamonga - 32 - 2023 Annual Action Plan

• 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 2023-2024 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. The elimination of the Redevelopment Agencies has resulted in the lo ss 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 there 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 publicly 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.

Discussion
During July 2023 through June 2024, the City will rely on other public and private funding, including but not limited to:

City of Rancho Cucamonga - 33 - 2023 Annual Action Plan

• 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 $1,093,593 of CDBG funds during the 2023-2024 program year on public service, housing preservation and public facility and infrastructure improvement activities that promote a suitable living environment and decent housing.

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 100 percent of its CDBG funds (excluding CDBG administration) for program year 2023- 2024 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 other projects and activities benefit low- and moderate-income limited clientele and 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 availability of home improvement financing in the private lending industry. To address these obstacles, the City is investing CDBG funds through the 202 3-2024 Action Plan in proj ects 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 2023- 2024 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 Bringing Healthy Homes 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.

Target Area Percentage of Funds
Citywide 96%
CDBG Eligible Areas 4%
Table 9 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically For the 2023-2024 program year, the City will invest $1 ,093,593 of CDBG funds that will benefit low - and moderate-income people throughout the City. Of this amount, $44,000, or 4 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 Bringing Healthy Homes Program 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.

Discussion
The City is allocating 100 percent of its non- administrative CDBG funds for program year 202 3-2024 to projects and activities that benefit low - and moderate- income people throughout the City of Rancho Cucamonga.

City of Rancho Cucamonga - 43 - 2023 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 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 p lanned 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 2021-2029 Housing Element, the City evaluated significant public policies affecting affordable housing development such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ord inances, 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 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 to monitor the development of vacant and nonvacant sites in the sites inventory and ensure that adequate sites are available to meet the remaining Regional Housing Needs Allocation (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. • Develop incentives and tools to facilitate ADU construction that may include:

City of Rancho Cucamonga - 44 - 2023 Annual Action Plan

o Fee waivers or reductions beyond State requirement;
o Pre-approved site/floor plans;
o Website information on resources and technical assistance; and 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 2023-2024. • Update the Development Code by the end of 2022 to address the provision of special needs housing specifically for Low Barrier Navigation Centers (AB 101), Emergency and Transitional Housing (AB 139), Supportive Housing (AB 2162), Large Residential Care Facilities, and Definition of Family. • Update the Development Code by the end of 2022 to incorporate the new density bonus provisions which will allow for approval of development incentives such as reduction in certain development standards such as reduced setbacks, reduced public/private open space, increased maximum lot coverage and increased building height.

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 a llow 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 cove rage, increased maximum building height, reduced on-site parking standards, reduced minimum building separation requirements, or other site or construction conditions applicable to residential development.

City of Rancho Cucamonga - 45 - 2023 Annual Action Plan

• To increase transparency and certainty in the development application process as required by law, the City has a variety of tools available for developers. The City’s C ommunity 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 .

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 the 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 public 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, public 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 appropriate 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 - 46 - 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 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 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, 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 2023-2024 Action Plan in projects that provide assistance to low - and moderate- income residents. To address underserved needs, the City is allocating 100 percent of its non -administrative CDBG investments for program year 2023-2024 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 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG funds to preserve and maintain affordable housing through the City 's Home Improvement Program that will provide financial assistance 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:
• Supporting activities that preserve the supply of decent housing that is affordable to low - and moderate-income households
• Supporting a continuum of housing and public service programs to prevent and eliminate homelessness
• Supporting public services for low- and moderate-income residents

City of Rancho Cucamonga - 47 - 2023 Annual Action Plan

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 programs 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. Other services are available to assist persons suffering from substance abuse, domestic violence and mental illness.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The institutional delivery system in Rancho Cucamonga is high -functioning and collaborative —particularly the relationship between local government and the non-profit sector comprised of a network of capable non- profit organizations that are delivering a full range of services to residents. Strong City departments anchor the administration of HUD grant programs and the housing, community and economic development activities that are implemented by the City support and enhance this existing institutional structure. The City will collaborate with affordable housing developers and non -profit agencies receiving CDBG funds through the 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan to ensure that the needs of low- and moderate-income residents are met as envisioned within the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan - Strategic Plan.

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 Rancho Cucamonga. With improvements in technology, the City will expand its outreach efforts to enhance coordination with public and private housing and social service agencies through social media platforms such Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.

Discussion
In the implementation of the 2023-2024 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 structure and enhance coordination between public and private social service agencies.

SF-424 & Certifications
Upon approval of the City’s 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan, the City’s SF-424 & SF-424D Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application, and program Certifications will be included in Appendix C prior to the City’s submission to HUD.

DATE:April 19, 2023
TO:Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:John R. Gillison, City Manager
INITIATED BY: Matt Marquez, Director of Planning and Economic Development SUBJECT: Quarterly Development Update – First Quarter 2023. (CITY) RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council receive a presentation from staff on development-related activities for the first quarter of 2023 (January through March).

BACKGROUND:

The City Council recently received reports detailing the progress in implementing the City’s General Plan and Housing Element. Those reports are submitted to State agencies for annual review and serve as report cards for the community to verify that progress continues to be made toward meeting the goals outlined in each plan.

While those reports include development-related information (permits issued, new housing units constructed, etc.), they are only developed and presented to the City Council once a year. Staff believes more frequent updates are necessary to better inform the community and will therefore be providing quarterly updates on development activity to the City Council. These will be known as Quarterly Development Updates (QDU).

ANALYSIS:

Staff envisions the content of QDUs to evolve over time, with the initial versions including summaries of both Building & Safety and Planning & Economic Development related activities.

This includes, but may not be limited to, detailing entitlement approvals by use type, providing updates on key development projects, and reporting on building permit and plan check activity.

For example, 868 new plan checks have been submitted to the City for review, and 1,379 building permits have been issued during the first quarter of 2023. Additionally, construction continues on projects such as the sixty-eight-room Sanctity Hotel and Alta Cuvee’s 260 apartment units.

Furthermore, occupancy approvals were granted for several new businesses, including Shake Shack and Tecovas, and over 400 people have visited with Planning staff at the public counter.

Staff's formal presentation to the City Council will provide additional details on development- related activities, and staff will continue to report this information to Council quarterly.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.
