Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of August 13, 2024
From: Chris Constantin, City Manager
Prepared by: Lauren Marshall, Sr. Management Analyst
Subject: Adopt Resolution 2024-57 Approving and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Safe Clean Water Municipal Funds Transfer Agreement with Los Angeles County Flood Control District
____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
Staff is requesting City Council adopt Resolution 2024-57 approving and authorizing the City Manager to execute Safe Clean Water Municipal Funds Transfer Agreement with Los Angeles County Flood Control District
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council:
• Approve Resolution 2024-57, authorizing the City Manager to execute the attached Transfer Agreement Between the Los Angeles County Flood Control District and the City of San Dimas to transfer funds from the Safe Clean Water Program - Municipal Program to the City of San Dimas.
FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated revenues for the City of San Dimas, through the Safe Clean Water Municipal Program are expected to be approximately $600,000 annually, for the next thirty years and are eligible to be spent on various water quality related activities.
Safe Clean Water (SCW) funds can pay for 30% of operations and maintenance costs, which equates to $180,000. However, this does not fully cover the requirements of the MS4 permit, so the City has to utilize the General Fund to meet compliance. The estimated total cost of operations and maintenance is $500,000.
The remaining 70% of funds, about $420,000, are required to be used for new projects that clean or capture stormwater runoff. Two projects that utilize this funding are the mandated-catch basin

inserts installation and recent purchase of the City’s street sweeper. The SCW funds help offset the costs of the program, but it still remains a partially unfunded mandate.
BACKGROUND
Staff is requesting City Council authorization to enter into an agreement with the Los Angeles, County Flood Control District (LACFCD) to receive funds coming from the Municipal portion of the Safe Clean Water Program. This agreement formalizes the details that include eligible expenditures, reporting requirements and timelines.
In 2020, the City Council approved the first Safe Clean Water Transfer Agreement to accept Safe Clean Water Funds. Over the past three fiscal years, the City has received over $1.7 million dollars that can be used to fund portions of the City’s stormwater program to ensure Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit compliance.
Compliance with the MS4 Permit continues to be a partially unfunded mandate. With the passage of Measure W (Safe Clean Water Program), the City now receives approximately $600,000 per year in local return funds to assist with Permit compliance. However, the funds available for stormwater costs through the Safe Clean Water are less than the expenditures required to comply with the permit. Therefore, there is also an impact to the City’s General Fund to meet the numerous stormwater requirements outlined in the permit.
In order to comply with the Permit, there are several direct and indirect costs to the City. Direct costs include permit fees to the State Water Board (approximately $23,000 per year), consulting costs for project development, stormwater plan updates, and stormwater quality monitoring, program administrative costs. Other direct costs that are covered by Safe Clean Water funds include measures such as catch basin cleaning, channel clearing, employee stormwater training, public outreach, education, and enforcement activities. The Safe Clean Water Program will only pay for maintenance and operations costs up to 30% (or $180,000) of the annual allocation. Costs over this amount must be funded through other sources. For instance, street sweeping is required as part of MS4 permit compliance yet is paid for out of the General Fund because costs of the City‘s stormwater maintenance activities exceed 30% of the total Safe Clean Water Funds annual allocation.
The remaining 70% of Safe Clean Water funds are required to be used for new projects such as the Permit mandated catch basin screens and other capital improvements that clean and/or capture stormwater runoff. This amount of $420,000 or 70% of the Safe Clean Water Municipal Funding has been set aside for multiple years for these expensive capital projects.
All of the aforementioned activities have indirect costs, namely staff time for tasks like construction site inspections, Industrial/Commercial facility inspections, and filing numerous reports to State and County Agencies multiple times per year. Where possible, the costs are transferred directly to the business or property that it applies to as a pass-through fee.
In total, the City spends over half a million dollars, just in direct costs annually between Safe Clean Water Funding and the General Fund with no staffing costs included.
Adopt Resolution 2024-57 Approving and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Safe Clean Water Municipal Funds Transfer Agreement with Los Angeles County Flood Control District For the Meeting of August 13, 2024 Page 3
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit is the State' s implementation of the Federal National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program, which was developed and is continuously adapted in response to the Clean Water Act. It is enforced by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board, (Regional Board). The latest permit, adopted by the Regional Board on September 11, 2021, is very complex and includes provisions that place a significant burden on cities to regulate and mitigate potential pollutants in storm water.
Due to the lack of funding for these complex requirements, the County of Los Angeles proposed a property tax measure to be placed on the ballot in November of 2018. Measure W passed and is now known as the Safe Clean Water Program. The Safe Clean Water Program revenues are collected as a parcel tax by Los Angeles County and are broken into three categories. The District program, which receives 10% of the funds, is kept by LACFCD to cover the cost of administration and implementation of the program. The Regional program, which receives 50% of the funds, are allocated as competitive funding for infrastructure construction, implementation, operations and maintenance, and administration of watershed-based projects and programs. The Municipal program, which is the topic of this agreement, receives 40% of the funds, which go directly to individual cities to carry out compliance activities, programs, and projects.
In order to receive Safe, Clean Water Municipal program funds, the City must execute the attached agreement and submit an expenditure plan following the execution of this agreement.
The annual expenditure plan details the use of funds and how they relate to the Safe Clean Water Program goals. The fund expenditures can only be used on eligible expenses such as installation of catch basin grates and filters, catch basin cleaning, stormwater project development, and other programs that meet the funding criteria. City staff plan to utilize these funds for compliance requirements such as: trash capture system purchase, installation and maintenance. A dedicated fund has been created in the City' s budget per these requirements. Fund expenditures must comply with various auditing and progress report requirements, as detailed in the agreement. The attached agreement will expire at the end of FY 2027-28, at which time a new agreement would need to be executed.
ALTERNATIVES
In addition to the recommendation, the following alternative actions are available for the City Council’s consideration:
• Do not approve the Safe Clean Water Transfer Agreement and fund 100% of the City’s NPDES Program from City funds in order to comply with the MS4 Permit.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This item is not subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(2) and (5) which exclude “continuing administrative…activities” and “administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment” from the definition of “project.”
Adopt Resolution 2024-57 Approving and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Safe Clean Water Municipal Funds Transfer Agreement with Los Angeles County Flood Control District For the Meeting of August 13, 2024 Page 4
Even if the item were a “project” it would be exempt from environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15307 and 15308 as actions taken by a regulatory agency for protection of natural resources and/or the environment, and exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this item may have a significant effect on the environment.

EXHIBIT C – NATURE BASED SOLUTIONS (NBS) BEST MANAGEMENT
PRACTICES
Municipalities shall consider incorporation of Nature-based solutions (NBS) into their projects. NBS refers to the sustainable management and use of nature for undertaking socio-environmental challenges, including climate change, water security, water pollution, food security, human health, and disaster risk management. As this environmental management practice is increasingly incorporated into projects for the SCW Program, this guidance document may be expanded upon to further quantify NBS practices based on benefits derived from their incorporation on projects.
The SCW Program defines NBS as a Project that utilizes natural processes that slow, detain, infiltrate or filter Stormwater or Urban Runoff. These methods may include relying predominantly on soils and vegetation; increasing the permeability of Impermeable Areas; protecting undeveloped mountains and floodplains; creating and restoring riparian habitat and wetlands; creating rain gardens, bioswales, and parkway basins; enhancing soil through composting, mulching; and, planting trees and vegetation, with preference for native species. NBS may also be designed to provide additional benefits such as sequestering carbon, supporting biodiversity, providing shade, creating and enhancing parks and open space, and improving quality of life for surrounding communities. NBS include Projects that mimic natural processes, such as green streets, spreading grounds and planted areas with water storage capacity. NBS may capture stormwater to improve water quality, collect water for reuse or aquifer recharge, or to support vegetation growth utilizing natural processes.
Municipalities are to include in each Annual Progress/Expenditure Report whether and how their project achieves a good, better, or best for each of the 6 NBS methods in accordance with the guidance below. Additionally, Annual Progress/ Expenditure Reports should include discussion on any considerations taken to maximize the class within each method. If at least 3 methods score within a single class, the overall project can be characterized as that class. Municipalities must attach a copy of the matrix for each project with the good, better, or best column indicated for each method, to facilitate District tracking of methods being utilized.

Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of August 13, 2024
From: Scott Wasserman, Director of Parks and Recreation Prepared by: Joseph Jones, Recreation Manager
Subject: Approve the Field Allocation Policy Update
____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
This a request to update the Field Allocation Policy to add a "No-Show” fee that would be paid by sports user groups that reserve ballfields through the City’s Field Allocation Process but do not use them.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
• Approve and adopt the recommended changes to the Field Allocation Policy to establish a “No-Show " fee for sports user groups that do not use ballfields they reserve.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Parks and Recreation Department anticipates a slight increase in revenue if the recommended action is approved.
BACKGROUND
The City’s Field Allocation Policy provides the policy and procedures used by the City to allocate field usage to sports user groups in a fair and equitable manner. The policy also defines qualifying sports user groups and includes a corresponding fee schedule for the use of City ball fields and amenities. The Field Allocation Policy was approved by the Parks and Recreation Commission on August 20, 2019, and by the City Council on September 10, 2019.
On July 20, 2021, the City Council approved an amendment to the Field Allocation Policy (page 12) which allows field usage 7 days a week during open sports seasons and provides a payment schedule for user groups.
Field Allocation Policy Update Page 2
For the Meeting of August 13, 2024
On April 26, 2022, the City Council approved a revision to the Field Allocation Policy that simplified the user group categories and streamlined the application process.
The City typically accommodates 11-21 sports user groups each sports season, depending on field allocation requests received from the user groups. Staff’s goal is to allocate 100% of ballfields in a manner that accommodates as many sports organizations as possible. However, over the past several years, several user groups have demonstrated a pattern of reserving ballfields that they do not use. Notifying the City in advance would give staff the opportunity to make the field available to other user groups. However, sports user groups do not always inform staff that they are not using the fields they reserve. The result is that fields that were 100% allocated during the field allocation process go unused. To address this issue, staff recommends the creation of a NoShow Policy to enhance the current Cancellation/Processing Fee Policy.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The current Cancellation/Processing Fee Policy section 15.1 states that user groups that cancel ten days prior to a permitted use will receive a full refund of fees paid. However, many sports user groups report that they do not always know ten days in advance that they will not need a field they reserved. Staff recommends amending Section 15.1 to allow sports user groups to cancel the use of a field five (5) or more working days prior to a scheduled use as follows:
15.1 Cancellation of reservations five (5) or more working days prior to a scheduled use will receive a full refund of fees paid.
15.3 No-Show Policy
Field users in Groups 3 through Group 6 must arrive within the first 15 minutes of their allocated time slot for the permitted field use. A coach or group representative must be on site to be considered proper attendance. Failure to meet these requirements may result in forfeiture of the permitted field use and the opportunity for another sports user group to use the field.
First No-Show Offence: $30 Fine Plus Retention of Field Use Fees Second No-Show Offence: $60 Fine Plus Retention of Field Use Fees Third No-Show Offence: $90 Fine, Retention of Field Use Fees and Parks and Recreation Director’s discretion to consider additional penalties moving forward, which may include:
1. Revocation of Field Permits for the Season
2. A temporary Suspension of Permit
3. Demotion of Priority Group for the following Season
Staff believes the addition of this policy will help eliminate any over booking of the fields by user groups, which will allow staff to properly allocate the fields to full usage.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council could elect not to approve staff’s recommendations to update the Field Allocation Policy. Under this scenario, the Parks and Recreation Department would anticipate that a certain number of fields that are allocated will continue to go unused by sports user groups.

For the Meeting of August 13, 2024
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3), CEQA does not apply to this item because there is no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no additional environmental review is needed at this time.

2 1 Policy Statement

Marchant Park – South Youth Baseball, North Youth Baseball, Misc. Field, 1 Full Outdoor Basketball Court

I.2 Sports facilities in the parks shall be made available for the recreational use and enjoyment of the residents of the City of San Dimas, San Dimas-based non-profit youth organizations, as well as non-residents and groups from surrounding communities. The City shall establish the appropriate priority of use and access based upon the best recreational, social, cultural, civic and educational interest of the citizens of San Dimas.

ATTACHMENT 2
3 This document sets forth the policies and procedures for the City to facilitate the allocation of all available athletic fields and parks under its ownership. 2 Department Authority to Coordinate and Terminate Use
2.1 The Parks and Recreation Department is charged with coordinating the use and allocation of City athletic fields and parks.
2.2 The Director of Parks and Recreation and/or his designated staff representative shall, at their sole discretion provide the interpretation of the language in the Athletic Field Allocation Policy and Procedure. The Parks and Recreation Commission shall evaluate the effectiveness of these policies and procedures and make recommendations for revisions as needed.
2.3 The City reserves the right to revoke or terminate a Use Permit of any individual or organization for any violation of park rules, regulations or of these policies and procedures. Termination of Use Permits shall be
p r o v i d e d in writing to the responsible party listed on the Application for Rental Application and Agreement.
2.4 All fees listed within this policy can only be superseded by a specific written agreement between the City of San Dimas and another entity. 3 Qualifying User Groups- Descending Order of Priority
Facility/Field Priority Allocation
The City receives more requests for field usage than it can accommodate. The City of San Dimas Parks & Recreation Department issues field use permits to maximize the usage of all fields and to accommodate as many user groups as possible. The priority for athletic facilities and field allocations is given first to official games, followed by field maintenance, and then practices. However, the City may, at its sole discretion, change those priorities when deemed necessary.
The Department attempts to accommodate to as many groups as possible.
However, there is no guarantee that any user group will receive a permit to use specific fields or facilities during specific times or dates requested. The Department’s goal in allocating fields is to provide enough fields for as many user groups as possible to operate their leagues.
In determining what sports are “in-season” for non-profit youth organizations, the following sport seasons will be used. A non-profit youth organization user group that requests field use out of season is considered a secondary user group as prioritized in Group 2 and 3 and will be accommodated to the extent possible.

Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of August 13, 2024
From: Luis Torrico, Director of Community Development
Prepared by: Marco Espinoza, Planning Manager
Subject: Introduce Ordinance 1309, Approving Municipal Code Text Amendment 23-03; Amendments to Various Chapters of Title 18 Zoning to Update Housing Definitions, Allow a Variety of Housing Types, Update the Density Bonus Ordinance in Compliance with State Law, and Amend Title 17 Subdivisions to Incentivize Lot Consolidation of Housing Sites as Required to be in Compliance with the City’s Housing Element and State Law.
____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
On September 27, 2022, the City Council approved the 6th Cycle Housing Element for the 2021-2029 planning period. The updated Housing Element was certified by the California State Department of Housing and Community Development on October 14, 2022.
Housing Elements are required to plan for retention of existing and projected housing needs of each city in the State. The Housing Element also includes the City’s Housing Plan, which identifies the City’s goals and policies required to address the housing needs of the community.
A component of the Housing Plan, the housing programs define the specific actions the City will undertake to achieve the stated goals and policies during the current housing cycle. A total of 27 housing programs were identified in the Housing Element. Municipal Code Text Amendment 23-03 proposes to amend various sections of the Municipal Code to bring the City into compliance with five (5) of the 27 programs. Programs 9, 11, 22, 23 and 24 consist of updating housing definitions, allowing a variety of housing types in compliance with State law, updating the Density Bonus ordinance, and creating a lot consolidation ordinance for Housing Element housing sites.
On June 20, 2024, the Planning Commission continued this request to the July 18, 2024, Planning Commission where they voted 5-0 to recommend approval of MCTA 23-03 to the City Council. The Planning Commission only voted approval in order to stay in compliance with the City’s Housing Element and State housing laws.
Municipal Code Text Amendment 23-03 Page 2
For the Meeting of August 13, 2024
RECOMMENDATION
Staff and the Planning Commission recommends the City Council:
• Conduct a Public Hearing to receive public input.
• Introduce Ordinance 1309 approving Municipal Code Text Amendment 23-03, a request to approve amendments to various Chapters of Title 18 Zoning to update housing definitions, allow a variety of housing types, update the Density Bonus ordinance in compliance with State law, and amend Title 17 Subdivisions to incentivize lot consolidation of housing sites as required to be in compliance with the 6th Cycle Housing Element.
FISCAL IMPACT
All of the proposed amendments are required to bring the Code into compliance with State law and the City’s Housing Element. With the exception of Program 11 – Lot Consolidation, none of the proposed amendments will have a fiscal impact. Under the proposed amendments, the lot consolidation ordinance will give the Director of Community Development the authority to waive the lot combination/merger application fee of $1,453.00 to assist in the development of Housing Element Housing sites. Of the 14 Housing Element Housing sites, nine (9) would require land assembly. Therefore, if all nine (9) sites were to meet the proposed criteria for the fee waiver, the fiscal impact could be up to $13,077. However, there are no guarantees that these sites will develop and if they do, it could occur over several years. In addition, criteria that has to be met by the applicant to qualify for the waiver has been included as part of the amendment.
BACKGROUND
The Housing Element, which is a component of San Dimas’ General Plan, is required to be updated every eight (8) years to plan for meeting existing and projected housing needs. The current Housing Element, which covers the 2021-2029 planning period, was approved by the City Council on September 27, 2022, and subsequently certified by the California State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on October 14, 2022.
The Housing Element contains information on the housing needs of the community, including the needs of lower-income households, the homeless, people with disabilities, and seniors among other groups. The majority of these needs are determined through the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA), of which 1,248 units were allocated to San Dimas. The Housing Element also establishes the goals, objectives, and policies that are the foundation of the City’s housing strategy for the next planning period. It also contains an inventory of potential development sites within the City that could accommodate the RHNA allocation.
The Housing Element also includes a list of housing programs that define the specific actions the City will undertake during the eight (8) year planning period to achieve the stated goals and policies in the Housing Element. The approved Housing Element includes a total of 27 housing programs (Attachment 2) which are required to be completed at various points within the eight (8) year planning period. Failure to comply with these programs can lead to serious consequences from HCD that extend beyond the realm of residential land use planning. Non-compliance can result in the following consequences:
1. RHNA assignment that is not accommodated in one housing cycle will be rolled over to the next housing cycle, increasing the number of units and the potential land a city is
Municipal Code Text Amendment 23-03 Page 3
For the Meeting of August 13, 2024
required to designate for multi-family housing during the next Housing Element Update cycle.
2. A city would become vulnerable to lawsuits for noncompliance, including from the State of California.
3. A city would risk the loss of transportation funding and become ineligible for a number of state and federal grants.
4. A city will be required to update the housing element every 4 years instead of every 8 years.
5. If the Attorney General files a lawsuit for a violation related to housing element compliance and the jurisdiction does not bring its housing element into compliance after seeking remedies, the jurisdiction can be fined up to $100,000 per month it remains in violation.
Municipal Code Text Amendment (MCTA) 23-03 proposes to amend various sections of the Code to keep the City in compliance with the Housing Element and HCD, and to bring various sections of the Code into compliance with State law. MCTA 23-03 will achieve compliance with programs 9: updating the Density Bonus ordinance, 11: creating a lot consolidation ordinance for Housing Element housing sites, and 22 - 24: allowing a variety of housing types in compliance with State law. The table below provides more information on each of these programs and what this amendment will achieve.

The Planning Commission reviewed MCTA 23-03, at their July 18, 2024, meeting. After reviewing the staff report, proposed code text amendments and hearing staff presentation, the Commission discussed their thoughts on the amendments and how the State keeps taking away local control from the cities. They expressed their discontent with the State requiring cities to approve land uses that they think can have a negative effect on residential communities. The Commission also expressed that their hands were tied on this issue, and they were approving the proposed code amendments only to stay in compliance with the City’s Housing Element and the State’s housing laws. The Commission voted 5-0 to approve MCTA 23-03. The Planning Commission Staff Report, PC Resolution 2024-1679 and draft minutes are attached as Attachment 3.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
As previously mentioned there a number of goals, policies and programs that must be complied with to keep the City in compliance with the approved Housing Element and HCD. The proposed MCTA will amend various sections of the Code to ensure continued compliance and avoid sanctions by HCD.
Five (5) Housing Element programs will be implemented or complied with the proposed MCTA and consist of the following:
Program 9 – Density Bonus Law
Program 9 requires that the City review and revise the City’s density bonus regulations to ensure consistency with changes in State law. State density bonus law allows applicants of residential projects with five (5) or more units to apply for a density bonus and additional incentive(s) if the project meets one of the following criteria: 10 percent of units affordable to lower income households; 5 percent of units affordable to very low income households, an age-restricted senior citizen housing project or mobile home park, or 10 percent of units in a condo project for moderate income households. The City’s density bonus ordinance was last revised in 2013 and several changes have been implemented by the State. While the City’s density bonus ordinance may not reflect previous changes made by the State, all current standards would be applied if a density bonus project was submitted.
The amendment will replace, in its entirety, Chapter 18.22 of the San Dimas Municipal Code to establish compliance with all State density bonus law requirements. The State will periodically amend the law to further the State’s housing goals; therefore, the proposed ordinance is written in a manner that requires compliance with State law and not require the City to update the ordinance every time the State amends the law. Density bonus law requires cities to adopt a density bonus ordinance, but it only has to specify how compliance with Government Code sections 65915 through 65918 will be implemented, and does not need to restate everything in the law. The proposed ordinance will accomplish that.
Municipal Code Text Amendment 23-03 Page 5
For the Meeting of August 13, 2024
The major differences between the current density bonus law and the City’s current ordinance are as follows:
• Density bonus options
The City’s current ordinance does not reflect all the density bonuses allowed in each of the income level categories. For example, the City’s current ordinance caps the density bonus for very low-income projects at 11% of units provided in the project. However, current density bonus law allows projects to provide up to 15% very low-income units in a project to be eligible for a density bonus. The table below shows the changes in red. • Incentives/Concessions
As required by density bonus law, a development that qualifies for a density bonus also qualifies for incentives/concessions. An incentive/concession allows a developer to deviate from design standards and/or development standards that make the project economically infeasible for the developer to build. Incentives/concessions may include, but are not limited to, established objective design standards and other development standards such as building height, setback, parking, or open space requirements.
They City’s current ordinance does allow for incentives/concessions, but current density bonus law was revised to allow for additional incentives/concessions. The table below shows the changes in red.

Incentives Very Low Income Lower Income Moderate Income 1*** 5 10 10*

*must be for-sale units
**100% of all units in the development must be lower income, except up to 20% of the units may be for moderate income. If project is located within ½ mile of a major transit stop or is located in very low vehicle travel area in a designated county, the applicant shall receive a height increase of up three additional stories, or 33 feet. *** One incentive or concession for projects that include at 20% of the total units for lower income students in a student housing development.
• Additional density bonus
The most recent change went into effect on January 1, 2024, with the passage of AB 1287.
AB 1287 allows developers to obtain an additional density bonus by stacking density bonuses. Previously a development would max out their density bonus based on the allowable densities, and no other bonuses would be available. Now, once a development maxes out the density bonus, they can request an additional density bonus, essentially stacking density bonuses. For example, a development that provides 24% low-income units will receive a 50% density bonus. If they also provide an additional 15% moderate income units, they would receive an additional 50% bonus. In this example the development would receive a 100% density bonus by stacking two (2) 50% density bonuses. The additional density bonuses are shown in the table below.
It’s important to note that the changes discussed above are already in effect and would be applied if an eligible density bonus application was to be submitted. The amendments, which are required by the Housing Element, would also make the City’s density bonus ordinance consistent with State density bonus law.
Program 11 – Lot Consolidation
The Housing Element land inventory identifies sites to meet the City’s RHNA allocation. Majority of these sites are comprised of multiple smaller lots that could be combined to make larger sites.
In these cases, the elimination or modification of shared property lines to facilitate cohesive
Municipal Code Text Amendment 23-03 Page 7
For the Meeting of August 13, 2024
projects. To reduce barriers to improving housing opportunity and choice, the City committed to drafting a lot consolidation ordinance that would waive lot consolidation planning fees to encourage assembly of sites desired to meet the City’s RHNA.
Under the proposed ordinance, the Director of Community Development will have the authority to waive the lot combination/merger application fee of $1,453.00 per housing site to assist in the development of Housing Element Housing sites. In considering the waiver, the Director shall consider if the development meets all of the following: 1) The applicant shall submit documentation, to be evaluated by City Staff, that demonstrates that the fee is a material barrier to the development of the housing site, 2) Furthers the City’s housing goals, 3) Will result in a more efficiently developed project, and 4) Provides a minimum of 10% affordable lower-income units. This will bring the City in compliance with Program 11 and would also provide an incentive to develop housing sites to meet the City’s RHNA.
Program 22 – Homelessness Plan
The Housing Element includes a homeless plan with an objective to ensure that the City’s Municipal Code is current with recent State law requirements related to low barrier navigation centers, transitional and supportive housing. Program 22 requires that the Code be amended as needed to include definitions for low barrier navigation centers, allow transitional and supportive housing in all zones allowing residential uses like any residential use in the same zone, allow low barrier navigation centers by right in all areas zoned for mixed-use, and nonresidential zones that permit multi-family uses.
The current Code already defines supportive and transitional housing; therefore, the only definition that will be added to the Code, as part of this Program, is for low barrier navigation centers as follows:
• Low Barrier Navigation Center
a. “Low Barrier Navigation Center” means a Housing First, low-barrier, serviceenriched shelter focused on moving people into permanent housing that provides temporary living facilities while case managers connect individuals experiencing homelessness to income, public benefits, health services, shelter, and housing. “Low Barrier” means best practices to reduce barriers to entry, and may include, but is not limited to, the following:
i. The presence of partners if it is not a population-specific site, such as for survivors of domestic violence or sexual assault, women, or youth. ii. Pets.
iii. The storage of possessions.
iv. Privacy, such as partitions around beds in a dormitory setting or in larger rooms containing more than two beds, or private rooms.
As previously mentioned, Program 22 requires that the Code be amended to allow low barrier navigation centers by right in all areas zoned for mixed-use, and nonresidential zones that permit multi-family uses. Currently, the Code does not allow low barrier navigation centers; therefore, the Code will be amended to allow these uses by right in the SP-26 and CG-3 zones where mixeduse developments are allowed, and in the CG-2 zone, which is the only nonresidential zone in the City that allows multi-family uses subject to approval of a conditional use permit and provided
Municipal Code Text Amendment 23-03 Page 8
For the Meeting of August 13, 2024
the use is located only in areas designated on the specific plan area map or were originally established before the year 1950. With this amendment, low barrier navigation centers will be allowed by right in the SP-26, CG-2 and CG-3 zones.
Lastly, this amendment will ensure compliance with State law and the Housing Element by allowing supportive and transitional housing in all zones allowing residential uses like any residential use in the same zone. The City’s current code only allows transitional and supportive housing in the MF and MF-30 zones. Therefore, with this amendment, transitional and supportive housing will be permitted in all zones, including specific plans, that permit residential uses.
Program 22 also requires that the City retain Los Angeles Centers for Alcohol & Drug Abuse (LACDA). The City entered into a five (5) year contract with LACDA in April 2023; therefore, this requirement has already been met.
Program 23 – Housing for People with Disabilities
Currently the City of San Dimas supports the provision of housing for its disabled population, including persons with developmental disabilities, through several means, including, but not limited to by-right zoning for small licensed residential care facilities (6 or fewer residents) in all residential zones, reasonable accommodation process for individuals with disabilities to request exceptions from local regulations, and enforcement of requirements to improve accessibility in housing through the enforcement of building codes and ADA accessibility requirements.
To further support disabled San Dimas residents, Program 23 requires that the City implement housing programs to help address the diverse needs of persons living with disabilities, and work with regional service providers to publicize information on available resources for housing and services, and amend zoning and permit procedures to allow group homes for seven (7) or more persons in all residential zones with objectivity to promote approval certainty. The City already provides housing programs that assist people living with disabilities and partners with the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) and the Council of Governments (COG) to publicize resources. Therefore, this MCTA will amend the Code to allow large group homes with seven (7) or more residents by right in all residential zones subject to compliance with objective standards. The objective standards are intended to ensure these large facilities provide the appropriate space and amenities for the residents, and also to assist in mitigating impacts to existing residential neighborhoods. Standards will include, but not limited to, maximum of 10 residents, minimum lot size of 25,000 square feet, minimum habitable space of 2,500 square feet, one (1) bedroom for every two (2) patrons/patients, minimum two-car garage, and operational standards.
Program 24 – Zoning for a Variety of Housing Types
State housing element law requires that local governments have municipal code provisions that zone for a variety of housing types. While virtually all cities allow for conventional types of housing, State laws have additional provisions to address the special housing needs of homeless people, agricultural workers, and people with disabilities among others. Program 24 requires the City to amend the Municipal Code to permit, consistent with State law, the following uses:
• Define and allow employee housing serving six or fewer residents in all zones allowing single-family homes accordance with Health & Safety Code § 17021.5 • Define and allow low-barrier navigation centers and supportive housing as a by right use in accordance with Gov't Code §65662 and §65650 (addressed by Program 22)
Municipal Code Text Amendment 23-03 Page 9
For the Meeting of August 13, 2024
• Amend zoning and permit procedures to allow group homes for seven or more persons in all residential zones with objectivity to promote approval certainty. (Addressed by Program 23)
• Allow transitional and supportive housing in all zones allowing residential uses in accordance with Govt Code §65583 (a)(4)(A) (Addressed by Program 22) • Amend emergency shelter parking standards in accordance with AB 139 • Define and allow single-room occupancy units (SROs) with a conditional use permit in the MF zones in accordance with Gov’t Code §65583
Some of these objectives are being addressed by other Programs listed above. The remaining following objectives will be addressed by this amendment.
Employee housing
Employee housing is not currently allowed in the City’s code. Therefore, this amendment will allow employee housing serving six (6) or fewer residents as a residential use in all zones allowing single-family homes; essentially allowing them by right. In addition, the Code will be amended to include the following definition:
Employee housing
Qualified employee housing providing accommodations of six (6) or fewer employees, pursuant to health and Safety Code Section 17021.5(b), shall be deemed a single-family dwelling and is allowed in all zones allowing single-family homes. Qualified employee housing is subject to all Municipal Codes, regulations and other standards generally applicable to other residential dwellings of the same type in the same zone.
Emergency shelter parking standards
Parking requirements for emergency shelters will have to be provided in accordance with AB 139, which only requires sufficient parking to accommodate all staff working in the shelter, provided that the standards do not require more parking for emergency shelters than other residential or commercial uses within the same zone. Currently, the Code requires one (1) parking space for every five (5) residents in addition to one (1) space for every employee on the maximum shift. The Code also allows for a 25% reduction in parking if the shelter is located within 1,000 feet of public transportation. This amendment will revise the parking standards for emergency shelter to be in compliance with AB 139.
Single Room Occupancy (SRO)
Lastly, Program 24 requires that the Code define and allow single room occupancy units (SROs) with a conditional use permit in all MF zones. The current Code already defines SROs and allows the use in the MF-30 zone. Therefore, this amendment will allow SROs in all MF zones (MF, MF-D and MF-30).
The amendments proposed under MCTA 23-03 are required to keep the City in compliance with the housing programs in the City’s Housing Element and with State law. Five (5) of the 27 programs will be addressed with this amendment. The remaining programs have already been met or will be met at a future date during the Housing Element’s eight-year cycle.

No alternatives are proposed for this request.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to CEQA, the City prepared an Initial Study/Negative Declaration (IS/ND) for the Draft Housing Element update, which included the housing programs, and circulated the IS/ND for a 30-day public comment period from March 16, 2022 to April 18, 2022. On September 27, 2022, the City Council adopted the IS/ND and the Housing Element for the 2021-2029 planning period.
The proposed amendments are in compliance with Housing Element’s housing programs, which were previously analyzed; therefore, no further CEQA action is required.

2021-2029 planning period. The proposed amendments are in compliance with Housing Element’s housing programs, which were previously analyzed; therefore, no further CEQA action is required.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the evidence received at the hearing, and for the reasons discussed by the Council at the hearing, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, the City Council now finds as follows:
A. The proposed Municipal Code Text Amendment will not adversely affect adjoining property as to value, precedent or be detrimental to the area.
The proposed amendments will update housing definitions, allow a variety of housing types, update the Density Bonus ordinance in compliance with State law, and amend Title 17 Subdivisions to incentivize lot consolidation of housing sites as required to be in compliance with the Housing Element. Specifically, the amendment will allow transitional and supportive housing, employee housing, single room occupancy housing, large group homes, and low barrier navigation centers in residential zones as the State has determined that these uses should be treated like any other residential use in a residential zone. To further mitigate any impacts to adjoining properties, development and operational standards have been included with this amendment that will regulate single room occupancy, large group homes and low barrier navigation centers.
B. The proposed Municipal Code Text Amendment will further the public health, safety and general welfare.
The proposed amendments, which are required by the City’s Housing Element and to be in compliance with State law will further the public health, safety and general welfare by providing residents and the general public with alternative housing opportunities, including transitional and supportive housing, employee housing, single room occupancy housing, large group homes, and low barrier navigation centers. In addition, the amendments will encourage the development of housing sites that require assembly, which may lead to additional housing units and allow the City to meet its RHNA allocation. Lastly, the proposed amendment will update the City’s density bonus law to be consistent with State law, which would provide additional housing opportunities for residents and the public in general.
C. The proposed Municipal Code Text Amendment is consistent with the General Plan.
The proposed amendments are consistent with the City’s Housing Element for the 2021- 2029 planning period. Specifically, the Housing Element includes the City’s Housing Plan which identifies the City’s goals and policies required to address the housing needs of the community. The proposed amendments will achieve the goals and objectives for programs # 9, 11 and 22-24, which are consistent with the City’s General Plan by providing opportunities for various housing types in the City, removing market and regulatory constraints, and providing fair housing opportunities.

D. Housing Programs
Housing programs define the specific actions the City will undertake to achieve the stated goals and policies and are organized around the City’s housing goals. able HE-5.4 at the end of this section summarizes program objectives, funding sources, the agency responsible for implementation, and policy addressed.
Housing and Neighborhood Preservation
1. Housing Code Compliance
The City’s Building Code, Housing Code, Property Maintenance Code, and other regulations establish minimum standards for the construction and maintenance of buildings, property, and structures. The City’s Code Compliance program enforces these regulations to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public, maintain quality neighborhoods, and improve housing security and safety for all.
To encourage and facilitate code compliance, the City provides information about the ongoing grant program to address code violations. In addition to City codes, homeowners may need to comply with Codes, Covenants, and Restrictions adopted by neighborhoods that are more restrictive than city codes. CC&Rs are enforced by the respective associations and are outside the purview of City staff.
Objective(s):
■ Conduct property inspections and resolve up to 200 cases annually, focusing in broader downtown
■ Require adherence to local property regulations and requirements ■ Inform residents of available resources to address code violations
2. Home Rehabilitation
The City’s Single-Family Rehabilitation Program offers financial assistance for repairing repairs to address conditions that are detrimental to health and safety.
Grants are restricted to lower income households. The maximum repair grant amount is $7,500 under the CDBG program and $3,000 under the Mobile Home Rehabilitation Program. Eligible use of funds includes roofing, electrical, heating/air conditioning, termite fumigation, windows and doors, and other improvement needs. Occupancy restrictions apply. This program helps to improve housing security, reduce potential displacement concerns, address disproportionate housing needs among lower income residents, and address place-based investment needs one home at a time in older areas.
Objective(s):
■ Provide financial assistance for 10 home rehabilitation projects annually ■ Provide financial assistance for 15 mobile home rehabilitation annually ■ Provide financial assistance for 10 mobilehome chair lifts annually ATTACHMENT 2
5. HOUSING PLAN
City of San Dimas General Plan
2021 - 2029 Housing Element 5-22
3. Historic Preservation
San Dimas has a rich history that is reflected in its older downtown core area, bordered generally by Gladstone Street, Walnut Avenue, Arrow Highway, and Amelia Avenue. Approximately 300 properties were identified in a local historic resource survey in the early 1990s, and additional homes may also qualify as historic since then. The City encourages preservation of these structures through state programs; additional incentives to encourage preservation may be available.
One state program, the Mills Act, enables the owner of a structure listed as historically significant by the City to agree with the City to preserve, maintain, and possibly rehabilitate the home. The benefit to the homeowner is a substantial reduction in property taxes for historic properties that qualified after Prop 13. The City implements its Town Core Design Guidelines to guide the construction and alteration of residential structures and preserve the architectural features, and character of historic homes and commercial and mixed-use areas in San Dimas.
Objective(s):
■ Implement Town Core Design Guidelines; make available on the website and with brochures at the planning counter
■ Encourage preservation of historic homes by marketing the Mills Act and by making available brochure on the City's website and planning counter ■ Consider codifying the Mills Act into the Municipal Code to facilitate in the preservation of historic homes
4. Neighborhood Beautification
Maintaining a high quality of life in residential neighborhoods is a high priority for residents and businesses. San Dimas neighborhoods offer a high quality of life, and most of the city’s housing stock is in good condition. Historically, the City provided neighborhood clean-up along with funds for minor housing repairs within targeted neighborhoods that could benefit from focused beautification work. The program, funded by federal CDBG assistance, provided an effective tool to stimulate neighborhood participation and revitalization. With changes in CDBG regulations, however, the beautification program no longer qualified for federal funding and therefore was put on hold until funding is acquired. Still, targeted efforts are needed to improve the quality of life in select neighborhoods, focusing on aging infrastructure, community facilities, and repairing older homes. Neighborhood beautification efforts and a community survey of needs will help to address the need for place-based investment one home at a time.
Objective(s):
■ Consider reestablishment of the Neighborhood Beautification program ■ Identify areas needing improvement through a survey
■ Seek additional sources of funding to reestablish the program
5 . HOUSING PLAN

Balance in Housing Types
5. Housing Sites Inventory
The City will rezone acreage shown in Program 7 to a residential and mixed use zoning, allowing density ranging from 25 to 45 units per acre by June 30, 2024.
Rezoned sites will permit owner-occupied and rental multifamily uses by right per GC §65583.2 (h) and (i) for developments in which 20% or more of the units are affordable to lower income households. Sites will be selected from Appendix A and will have capacity to accommodate at least 16 units and be available for development with infrastructure in the planning period. Site capacity will incorporate density performance standards (See Program #7) and zoning will establish development standards that encourage maximum density.
Objective(s):
■ Maintain an inventory and map of sites available for residential development and provide at the front counter upon request
■ Rezone sites (see Program #7) within two years of adoption of the housing element or upon adoption of the DTSP, whichever is earlier ■ Monitor sites to accommodate the unmet RHNA. If there are insufficient sites, rezone sites within 180 days of findings to ensure needed capacity
6. Accessory Dwellings (ADU)
In 2020, the City adopted Ord No. 1281 to facilitate prouction of ADUs and make its municipal code consistent with recent changes in state law, including removal of the covenant requirement. Based on current trends, 25 ADUs will receive permits annually and be built in higher resource areas, improving housing mobility and integrating affordable housing in higher resource/income neighborhoods.
Objective(s):
■ Monitor and record progress in ADU production and affordability on the housing element APR by April 1 of every calendar year. Monitor and make adjustments if needed at least twice in the planning period, in 2024 and 2027 ■ Adopt ADU incentives (e.g., expedited review and processing, increased marketing, waive permit issuance fees, development standard modification, expanded technical assistance for applicants, and improve/expanded ADU brochure) to encourage production of ADUs per AB671
■ Distribute a flier educating HOAs in north and southern San Dimas about benefits of ADUs, process for securing ADUs + incentives available. Seek to see 40% of new ADUs in those areas.
■ If after 1 year ADU production and affordability is below the projected annual average, staff will market the City’s ADU program in the City’s newsletter for one year, or until the production exceeds the projected annual average. If the deficit persists after 2 years, the City will rezone additional sites if needed

7. Downtown Specific Plan
San Dimas envisions a downtown that provides a vibrant and pedestrian-oriented environment containing shopping, entertainment, and housing for residents. Such an opportunity would capitalize on the Gold Line extension and the economic activity that accompanies rail construction. To capitalize on these benefits, San Gabriel Valley cities have discovered that specific plans create the integrated design, regulatory, and development contexts that enable vibrant downtowns. To improve housing mobility, provide affordable housing, and improve access to transit and economic opportunity, the City is preparing a downtown specific plan, including broad outreach and engagement effort to residents, that will replace the Creative Growth Area, with completion slated by 2023.
Objective(s):
■ Create general plan residential and mixed use land use/zoning designations and rezone up to 94 acres as follows:

8. Residential Design Guidelines
City staff use SMDC standards and guidelines to ensure well-designed projects.
The City is drafting objective development and design standards (ODDS) to provide greater clarity regarding site planning, building location, relationships to other structures on a property, streetscapes, architectural design, and sustainable site development and design. ODD standards will provide a clear and quantifiable direction to streamline the review process by removing subjective design review processes and providing a clear entitlement path for the applicant/ developer. In addition, these standards will improve development certainty and mitigate cost impacts, as projects can be designed to these standards and not require time consuming and costly revisions. Approval and implementation of ODDS will assist in removing constraints to facilitate multi-family development.
Objective(s):
■ Prepare, adopt, and approve ODDS for projects within the DTSP, and for all other multi-family and mixed-use properties citywide in 2023 ■ Also in 2023, modify approval findings, administrative procedures or other rules to ensure that meeting objective standards satisfies approval findings.

Market and Regulatory Constraints
9. Density Bonus Law
Last revised in 2013, Chapter 18.22 of the SDMC sets forth the City’s provisions to implement State density bonus law. In summary, applicants of residential projects with five or more units may apply for a density bonus and additional incentive(s) if the project meets one of the following criteria: 1) 10 percent of units affordable to lower income households; 5 percent of units affordable to very low income households, an age-restricted senior citizen housing project or mobile home park., or 10 percent of units in a condo project for moderate income households.
The density bonus varies according to set criteria, but generally ranges from 20 to 35 percent above the General Plan density. In addition to the density bonus, eligible projects may receive one to three additional development incentives, depending on the proportion of affordable units and level of income targeting. In addition to these incentives, developers may receive parking space reductions as prescribed in state law and local regulations.
Objective(s):
■ Review and revise the City’s density bonus regulations to ensure consistency with changes in state law (e.g., AB 2345).
10. MF Development Standards
In 2013, the SDMC Chapter 18.44 created a MF-30 residential zone to allow apartments, condominiums, townhomes, and senior housing by right at a minimum density of 30 du/acre. In 2014, this zone was used to facilitate the development of the Avalon Apartments. However, the frequency of its use has been limited due to standards that preclude achieving maximum project density.
Specifically, the parking space requirement for studio and one-bedroom units, open space along with on-site drainage requirements, and building spacing constrains the ability of the project to achieve maximum density of the zone.
Moreover, in lower density MF Zones, the development of smaller lot projects appears constrained by the open space and setback requirements. As a means to reduce barriers to housing and facilitate quality development, The City will therefore study and propose options for addressing these constraints.
Objective(s):
■ Revise MF-30 parking standards (e.g., studio and 1-bedroom unit parking) and other lot standards that constrain the achievement of maximum density ■ Review and revise open space and setback standards in the MF Zone that constrain the development of smaller multiple-family housing projects
5. HOUSING PLAN
City of San Dimas General Plan
2021 - 2029 Housing Element 5-26
11. Lot Consolidation
The housing element land inventory contains smaller lots that could be combined to make larger sites with shapes more conducive for development. This is especially the case in the downtown area, where the parcels are generally substandard in terms of width or depth. In these cases, lot consolidation offers the opportunity for property owners to develop projects that generate a higher return on investment and yield projects that have greater communitywide benefits. Lot consolidation involves merging existing parcels into fewer parcels through the elimination or modification of shared property lines to facilitate cohesive projects.
To reduce barriers to improving housing opportunity and choice, the City will draft a lot consolidation ordinance, along with incentives, to encourage the assemblage of sites desired to meet the RHNA. The intent is to use this tool, along with the proposed minor modifications and density bonus ordinances (Program 9 and 12), to facilitate and encourage development of sites to achieve the 2021-2029 RHNA.
Objective(s):
■ Waive lot consolidation planning fees to encourage the consolidation of lots desired to achieve the low and moderate income RHNA.
■ Draft and adopt a lot consolidation ordinance that encourages the development of housing sites to address the RHNA.
■ Review lot consolidation ordinance mid-term and modify or increase incentives if sufficient consolidations have not occurred.
12. Minor Modification Process
Allowing for creative designs in housing can benefit the community. The San Dimas Zoning Code (Chapter 18.24) implements a process for requesting modifications of development standards in the S-F Single Family Residential zone. The purpose is to promote residential amenities beyond those expected in a conventional development, to achieve greater flexibility in design, and to encourage wellplanned neighborhoods through creative and imaginative planning. In a built-out city, offering this type of flexibility can assist in facilitating the development of housing on sites that would otherwise be infeasible to develop, and allow for creativity in housing designs without requiring a variance and the associated findings required of a variance. The community could benefit from adopting a similar process for requesting minor modifications for multiple-family housing. To reduce barriers to housing development and increasing housing opportunity, the City will draft a minor modification ordinance for multiple-family developments.
Objective(s):
■ Extend Chapter 18.24 of the SDMC to include a similar process for granting minor modifications in residential or mixed use zones with either a MF-30 zoning designation or for sites within the DTSP.
5 . HOUSING PLAN
City of San Dimas | General Plan
2021 - 2029 Housing Element 5-27
13. Streamlined Permitting
Consistent with SB330, housing developments for which a preliminary application is submitted that complies with applicable general plan and zoning standards are subject only to the development standards and fees that were applicable at the time of submittal. This applies to all projects unless the project square footage or unit count changes by more than 20% after the preliminary application is submitted. The developer must submit a full application for the project within 180 days of submitting the preliminary application. The City offers predevelopment meetings prior to submission of formal applications to define the information needed to review a project, shorten the review process, and facilitate communication between applicants and City departments. The City currently defers to HCD for the required application process. To improve housing opportunity and reduce barriers (and affirmatively further fair housing), the City will adopt a streamlined permitting process.
Objective(s):
■ Establish a written policy or procedure to allow a streamlined approval process and standards for eligible projects, as set forth under Government Code 65913.4
■ Periodically review the process and, if needed, revise features of the process to ensure that statutory timelines are met
14. General Plan Updates
The 2021-2029 Housing Element relies on the preparation of a downtown specific plan and environmental impact report clearance to redesignate housing sites that are anticipated to accommodate the RHNA. However, larger general plan updates will be required to address existing and new changes to state law. As required under Government Code 65454, no specific plan may be adopted or amended unless the proposed plan or amendment is consistent with the general plan. The current general plan has a creative growth designation that allows for limited mixed uses. However, to implement the Downtown Specific Plan, the City will need to prepare a general plan amendment. In addition, new state law requires an update to the safety element and responsive goals to address climate change and resiliency as well as environmental justice. Upon completion of the housing element update, the City will need to commence subsequent focused updates to the general plan. These updates will ensure that the general plan is updated as required by state law and supports the City’s downtown plans.
Objective(s):
■ Amend the general plan, create an overlay, or other suitable tool to allow for the land uses envisioned for the downtown
■ Update the safety element to address, among other topics, climate change and resiliency and environmental justice
5. HOUSING PLAN

2021 - 2029 Housing Element 5-28
Assist in the Provision of Affordable Housing
15. Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8 or HCV)
The federal HCV program provides rental assistance to extremely low and very low income persons. The program offers a rent “voucher” equal to the difference between the current fair market rent and what a tenant can afford to pay (i.e., 30 percent of their income). A tenant may choose housing that costs above the 30 percent payment standard if they pay the extra rental cost. Housing vouchers can be allocated to specific projects (project-based vouchers) or allocated to renters (tenant-based voucher), who can use the voucher for any home registered with the Housing Authority. Housing vouchers are accepted at Monte Vista, Charter Oaks, and at Sunnyside. As a means for improving housing mobility and security, the City will encourage participation in and market the program to residents.
Objective(s):
■ Participate in federal HCV program, maintain up to 150 vouchers contingent on continued levels of HUD funding, and take actions to obtain 25% increase ■ Augment advertising by posting a web link to the LA County portal of available affordable housing, preparing a housing resource brochure advertising the program, and publicizing at City Hall and on City website ■ Distribute a flier educating apartment properties, landlords, HOAs, and condo associations about source of income protection in north and south San Dimas
16. Mobile Home Preservation
San Dimas has over 900 mobile home units within its five mobile home parks. The City purchased the 186-space Charter Oaks Mobile Home Park in 1998 and offers a space rental credit program to provide affordability for lower income residents.
The Housing Authority dedicates funds to make capital improvements at the park.
All mobile home parks are regulated by the Mobile Home Accord, which establishes maximum rents and provides a fair method for resolving disputes. The current Accord runs from 2021 thru June 2026. In addition, City ordinances govern the conversion of mobile home parks to condominiums, establishing specific noticing and other requirements to reduce the impact of conversions on residents.
As a means to prevent displacement and improve housing security, the City will continue its mobilehome preservation program with the actions below.
Objective(s):
■ Continue to retain affordability of the Charter Oaks Mobile Home Park and regulate space rental credits
■ Renew the Mobile Home Accord every five years to provide stability in space rents for the five mobile home parks
■ Continue to make periodic capital improvements to the Charter Oaks MHP with housing authority funds
5 . HOUSING PLAN
City of San Dimas | General Plan
2021 - 2029 Housing Element 5-29
17. Preservation of Assisted Housing
San Dimas has four projects providing 133 rent-restricted units. Sunnyside Apartments will also convert the project to market rents in March 2024. To prevent displacement and improve housing security for lower income residents, the City will work toward preservation of at-risk units as follows:
■ Contact property owners within one year of the affordability expiration date to discuss the City’s desire to preserve the units
■ Coordinate with property owners to ensure notices to tenants are sent out at 3 years, 12 months, and 6 months as required per Govt Code §65863.10 ■ Where property owners express an interest in preservation, conduct an economic analysis to determine the cost of buying-down rents and reach out to qualified entities who might be interested in preservation ■ Coordinate technical assistance to preserve the projects long-term covenants with options for a rent buydown, rehabilitation assistance, and/or mortgage refinance in exchange for affordability controls
■ Work with tenants or contact specialists to provide tenant education regarding tenant rights and conversion procedures
Objective(s):
Initiate discussions with owners of at-risk properties. Based on the outcome, the City will: 1) coordinate with owners to ensure proper noticing; 2) reach out to qualified entities for preservation options; 3) coordinate technical assistance with property owners; and 4) work with contract specialists to educate tenants.
18. Inclusionary Housing
With the enactment of SB 166 (No Net Loss) and loss of redevelopment authority, many cities have explored inclusionary housing ordinances (IHO). This is because as developers use a city’s available sites, originally earmarked for low income units or market rate, cities must find additional sites to replace the sites. Typically, IHOs require 15 percent of new housing units built be available at an affordable housing cost and occupied by households of low (in the case of rental) or moderate (in the case of homeowners) income. In June 2022, the City entered into a contract with SGVCOG to complete: 1) a market evaluation and economic feasibility study; 2) recommendations for IHO programs; and 3) template IHO for the City.
Objective(s):
■ Prepare market evaluation and economic feasibility study of a 15 to 20 percent inclusionary requirement for rental and ownership units ■ Develop options for an in-lieu fee and expenditure policy that includes extremely low and very low income units
■ If inclusionary requirements are deemed feasible, draft an ordinance for consideration and adoption by City Council
5. HOUSING PLAN

19. Collaborative Partnerships
As a means of further leveraging housing assistance for lower and moderate income households, the City will encourage partnerships with local organizations and other government agencies that offer housing-related services, such as the development of affordable housing and homeless prevention services. These partnerships, among others, will help to provide and augment the financial and administrative resources needed to implement housing programs. These organizations and agencies will include, but not be limited, to the following:
■ Habitat for Humanity
■ San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments
■ San Gabriel Valley Regional Housing Trust (JPA)
■ Regional Center of Orange County
■ San Dimas Community Hospital
■ Southern California Independent Living
Objective(s):
■ Continue to work with current housing partners and, as needed, evaluate expanding partnership to augment administrative and financial resources ■ Evaluate the feasibility of joining the San Gabriel Valley Regional Housing Trust and, if beneficial, pursue membership status
20. Extremely and Very Low Income Households
Extremely and very low income households are one of the greatest need groups given their difficulty in affording housing and services. The City addresses the needs of this group in several ways. The City publicizes the County’s housing choice voucher program that targets rental assistance to this group (Program #15). City housing rehabilitation assistance targets this group (Program #2). The City works to renew the Mobile Home Accord every five years for this group (Program #16).
With respect to new housing, the City is increasing density for residential products to accommodate the lower income RHNA (Program #7) and will be evaluating, and if feasible, adopting an inclusionary ordinance (Program #18).
Objective(s):
■ Implement the County of Los Angeles rental voucher program to improve housing security for extremely low income households
■ Implement housing preservation (Mobile Home Accord and rehabilitation assistance) programs to improve housing security for lower income residents ■ Evaluate and draft IHO program to encourage affordable housing; prioritize programs and in-lieu fees to encourage development of ELI and VLI units; offer regulatory concessions to affordable projects providing ELI and VLI units ■ At least annually and ongoing basis, proactively contact affordable housing developers to identify and pursue opportunities and assist in development, including zoning for a variety of housing types, priority processing, incentives and funding (prioritizing or supporting).

Fair Housing Opportunity
21. Senior Housing
Senior citizens make up one quarter of San Dimas’ households. Many seniors live in single-family homes or mobile homes. Key housing needs include income support, home accessibility, affordable rent, property maintenance, and transit.
Addressing the needs of seniors requires strategies that foster independent living and provide supportive services. City ownership of the 186-space Charter Oak Mobile Home Estates and Monte Vista Place Apartments provide affordable housing for seniors. Integration of additional mixed-use housing in the Downtown within walking distance of services can also provide housing suitable for seniors.
To continue improving access to opportunities and housing security, the City will continue providing housing and support services to seniors noted below.
Objective(s):
■ Continue to actively pursue a range of housing options to address the diverse needs of senior citizens
■ Continue to offer housing security programs (housing rehabilitation grants, mobilehome preservation, etc.)
■ Continue to provide the senior center and associated health, education, transit, and other support services
22. Homelessness Plan
The City’s Plan to Prevent and Combat Homelessness has five goals with supporting actions—understand the needs of San Dimas’s homeless population, ensure homeless people are entered into the Regional Coordinated Entry System, expand and improve immediate housing solutions, expand opportunities for employment and workforce development, and explore options for preservation of existing affordable housing. Though the City has periodically amended the municipal code in compliance with changing state statutes to allow for emergency shelters, transitional and supportive housing, additional zoning code amendments and actions are needed to address state law requirements.
Objective(s):
■ Amend municipal code to amend definitions as needed and to allow supportive housing and low barrier navigation centers by-right in all zones where multifamily and mixed uses are permitted
■ Amend municipal code to amend definitions and permit transitional and supportive housing in all zones allowing residential uses like any residential use in the same zone in accordance with state law
■ Retain LACDA to provide (bi)weekly street outreach, housing navigation, mental health support, case management, homelessness prevention, and support services to connect clients to health services and housing

23. Housing for People with Disabilities
San Dimas has a sizable population of people with disabilities: 13 percent of residents living in housing report a disability, and additional residents living in institutional settings report a disability. San Dimas currently supports the provision of housing for its disabled population, including persons with developmental disabilities, through several means, including:
■ By-right zoning for licensed residential care facilities (6 or fewer residents) in all residential zones.
■ Procedures for an individual with a disability to request a reasonable accommodation from zoning and building standards.
■ Enforcement of requirements to improve accessibility in housing through the enforcement of building codes and ADA accessibility requirements. ■ Single-family rehabilitation grants that include funding for mobile home chair lifts to allow disabled residents to access their home.
Objective(s):
■ Implement housing programs to help address the diverse needs of persons living with disabilities, and work with regional service providers to publicize information on available resources for housing and services. ■ Amend zoning and permit procedures to allow group homes for seven or more persons in all residential zones with objectivity to promote approval certainty.
24. Zoning for A Variety of Housing Types
State housing element law requires that local governments have municipal code provisions that zone for a variety of housing types. While virtually all cities allow for conventional types of housing, state laws have additional provisions to address the special housing needs of homeless people, agricultural workers, and people with a disability among others. Following adoption of the housing element, the City will amend the SDMC to permit, consistent with state law, the following uses.
Objective(s):
■ Define and allow employee housing serving six or fewer residents in all zones allowing single-family homes accordance with Health & Safety Code § 17021.5 ■ Define and allow low-barrier navigation centers and supportive housing as a by right use in accordance with Gov't Code §65662 and §65650 ■ Amend zoning and permit procedures to allow group homes for seven or more persons in all residential zones with objectivity to promote approval certainty. ■ Allow transitional and supportive housing in all zones allowing residential uses in accordance with Govt Code §65583 (a)(4)(A); amend emergency shelter parking standards in accordance with AB 139
■ Define and allow single-room occupancy units (SROs) with a conditional use permit in the MF zones in accordance with Gov’t Code §65583 Mobile home chair lift

25. Fair Housing
AB 686 requires the City to identify meaningful actions to AFH. These actions shall address significant disparities in housing access and needs for all persons regardless of race, color, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, ancestry, familial status, source of income, or disability, and other characteristics protected by the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, Government Code §65008, and any other state and federal fair housing law.
Objective(s):
Implement actions in Table HE-3.10 that are intended to address the following issues and contributing factors to fair housing. Issues include:
■ Displacement due to housing insecurity (Programs #2, #15, #16, and #17) ■ Barriers to multiple-family housing (Programs #6–#12) ■ Barriers to special needs housing (Programs #22 and #24) ■ Work with HRC or other fair housing agency to provide annual workshops and trainings on fair housing laws, tenants’ rights, and responsibilities ■ Develop educational materials (webpage information) on who affordable housing serves and survey residents on preferred methods of outreach ■ Refer discrimination complaints and landlord tenant issues to the local fair housing provider and publish materials on the website regarding fair housing
26. Greater Downtown Place-based Program
As the oldest area in San Dimas, the Downtown area between Foothill Boulevard and Arrow Highway has the greatest concentration of housing and service needs along with diversity in income levels. In an effort to improve this area an in collaboration with programs #1, #2, #4, and #7, the City will continue to make reinvestments as needed to improve and maintain this area.
Objective(s):
■ Identify areas needing assistance in the broader downtown through a windshield and mail survey.
■ To the extent allowed, prioritize home rehab grants and loans to the greater downtown and areas of need identified by the windshield and mail survey ■ Coordinate with Habitat for Humanity, Life Pacific, and other partners to address minor housing repairs and site improvements and beautification ■ Complete infrastructure improvements to the downtown including Gold Line station, parking, and road improvements (Gladstone, Bonita, and Arrow). ■ Update Bike Master Plan to complement the DTSP and Gold Line transit; complete local projects that support the ESGV Sustainable Multimodal Project ■ Improve local parks (Pioneer and Marchant) and the Senior Center serving downtown and the city.

27. Affordable Housing in High Opportunity Areas
While the entire City is a high resource opportunity area, the majority of the 2021- 2029 RHNA will be accommodated within the downtown. This strategy is undertaken due not only to the predominant land use patterns, built out nature of the city, topography, and fire hazards present in north and south San Dimas, but also due to the recognition that residents will benefit from the nexus of public services, facilities, employment, and mass transit options in the downtown and VMT reductions and climate benefits. However, in recognition of the need to distribute affordable housing citywide, the City will take the following measures to achieve up to 200 affordable units in north and south San Dimas as follows:
Objective(s):
■ Aggressively market ADUs to HOA and apartments in north/south San Dimas, offer financial and regulatory incentives, and achieve 66% of all ADUs built in both planning areas (see Program #6)
■ Aggressively market HCVs to HOAs for condos and apartment owners in north and south Dimas and implement other actions set forth in Program #15 to increase HCV usage by 25%.
■ Develop urban lot split and small home development ordinance consistent with SB 9/AB 803 and educational fact sheet to expand starter home supply in High Resource Opportunity areas (single-family zones)
