This Chapter is designed to implement the General Plan designations contained in the Patrick Henry Drive Specific Plan, creating a high-density, transit-oriented residential district with supportive retail services. Residential uses are authorized in all zoning districts listed below in varying densities, and ground-floor office and retail uses are also allowed in all zoning districts listed below in selected locations. The Patrick Henry Drive Plan area is expected to be implemented over time, and this Chapter contains provisions for the continuation of existing industrial buildings and uses. This Chapter includes the following districts:
Patrick Henry Very-High-Density Residential Zone (PH-R5-100D). The purpose of the PH-R5-1 00D Patrick Henry Very-High-Density Residential Zone is to provide land areas for the construction, use, and occupancy of high density and intensity multi-family developments (i.e., low-rise, mid-rise, and high-rise apartments and condominiums). It is the intent of this zone to encourage development to use innovative site planning, provide on-site recreational amenities and be located near major community facilities, business centers, transportation corridors, and/or major thoroughfares. The residential density range for this zone is 51-100 dwelling units per acre. This zone implements the Very High-Density land use designation in the General Plan.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on a Resolution Extending AB 361 Implementation to Allow City Legislative Bodies to Hold Public Meetings Solely by Teleconference or Otherwise Electronically During the Governor’s Proclaimed COVID State of Emergency
COUNCIL PILLAR
Enhance Community Engagement and Transparency
BACKGROUND
On March 17, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-29-20 which suspended the Brown Act teleconferencing requirements so that legislative bodies could hold public meetings solely by teleconference, or otherwise electronically, without listing the teleconference locations and without any physical location, as long legislative bodies followed a set of requirements for noticing the meeting agenda and public participation, among other things. Subsequently on June 11, 2021, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-08-21, which sunset the Brown Act provisions of Executive Order N-29-20 on September 30, 2021.
On September 16, Governor Newsom signed AB 361 into law which allows local agencies to use teleconferencing without complying with specific Brown Act restrictions in certain state emergencies until January 1, 2024, at which point they are to be repealed, and the standard Brown Act teleconference requirements become effective again. The bill was an urgency measure, and it went into effect immediately.
On October 19, 2021, November 16, 2021, December 14, 2021, January 11, 2022, February 8, 2022, and March 8, 2022, the City Council approved Resolutions Nos. 21-9013, 21-9023, 21-9038, 22- 9042, 22-9051, and 22-9058, respectively, to allow City Legislative bodies to hold public meetings solely by teleconference or otherwise electronically pursuant to AB 361.
DISCUSSION
AB 361 amended Government Code Section 54943 to allow a local agency to use teleconferencing for public meetings without requiring the teleconference location to be accessible to the public or a quorum of the members of the legislative body of the agency to participate from locations within the boundaries of the agency’s jurisdiction during a Governor-proclaimed state of emergency in certain circumstances.
In order for a local agency to utilize AB 361’s exemption to the Brown Act, there must be certain emergency conditions present. These include:
· There being a state-proclaimed state of emergency, and state or local officials have imposed City of Santa Clara Printed on 3/31/2022Page 1 of 4
powered by Legistar™
22-438 Agenda Date: 4/5/2022
or recommended measures to promote social distancing.
· The Council is meeting during a proclaimed state of emergency for the purpose of determining, by majority vote, that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health and safety of attendees; or
· The Council is meeting during a proclaimed state of emergency and has determined, by majority vote, that in-person meetings would pose health and safety risks to attendees.
In order for the City’s legislative bodies to continue meeting remotely with the exemptions to the Brown Act provided for under AB 361, the Council is required to take certain actions, most of which the City is already implementing:
· The City must continue providing notice of meetings and continue to post agendas as the Brown Act requires to the agency’s website,
· The City must continue allowing for public access to the meeting, while allowing for a public comment period to directly address the legislative body pursuant to Brown Act’s other teleconferencing provisions,
· The City must continue giving notice for how the public can access the meeting and provide public comment, including a call-in or internet-based service option (no physical location required),
· The City must continue providing the public with the opportunity to comment in real time (with the option of additionally allowing comments to be submitted in advance, if the agency desires),
· The City must stop the meeting until public access is restored in the event of a service disruption, and
· No later than 30 days after the first teleconferencing meeting and every 30 days thereafter, the Council will have to reconsider the circumstances of the state of emergency to determine if remote meeting procedures need to remain in place.
The legislative body must make certain findings by majority vote every 30 days to continue using the AB 361 Brown Act teleconferencing requirements. Because the City Council approved Resolution No. 9058 on March 8, 2022, the next Council meeting to extend the resolution is April 5, 2022. Failure to approve this extension would result in City Council, boards, and commissions meeting being unable to meet fully virtual without exposing the locations of each member’s location on the posted agendas.
Beginning on March 11, 2020 and continuing every 60 days thereafter, the City Council has continued its proclamation of local emergency based on substantial evidence that the public interest and necessity require the continuance of the proclamation of local emergency related to COVID-19.
On September 21, 2021, the Santa Clara County Public Health Officer recommended that public bodies continue to meet remotely to the extent possible due to the continued threat of COVID-19 to the community, the unique characteristics of public governmental meetings, and the continued increased safety protection that social distancing provides as one means by which to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission. On November 2, 2021, emergency use of the Pfizer COVID vaccine was authorized for children ages 5-11. On that same day, Santa Clara county moved back into the substantial (orange) COVID-19 transmission tier. On November 22, 2021, Santa Clara county moved to the moderate (yellow) COVID-19 transmission tier. On November 25, 2021, scientists identified the latest COVID-19 variant, Omicron, which has prompted concern among scientists and public health officials because of an unusually high number of mutations that have the potential to make the virus more transmissible and less susceptible to existing vaccines. On December 13, 2021, the City of Santa Clara Printed on 3/31/2022Page 2 of 4

22-438 Agenda Date: 4/5/2022
California Department of Public Health reinstituted its statewide mask mandate, requiring all individuals, regardless of their vaccination status, to wear face coverings in indoor public settings from December 15, 2021 through January 15, 2022 due to a 47% increase in the statewide seven- day average case rate and 14% increase in hospitalizations since Thanksgiving. In light of the rapid surge in cases due to the Omicron variant, on December 28, 2021, the County of Santa Clara Health Officer issued a health order requiring up-to-date COVID-19 vaccination for workers in certain higher- risk settings. The new order builds on recent changes in the State Health Officer’s vaccination requirements by mandating up-to-date vaccination by workers in certain healthcare and long-term care settings. As of February 3, 2021, new daily Covid-19 cases are on the decline since the surge from the Omicron variant. However, California Covid-19 deaths continue to rise and hospitalizations remain elevated. On February 27, 2022, the Santa Clara County Public Health Officer rescinded the health order requiring the use of face covering indoors effective March 2, 2022. However, the Santa Clara County Public Health Officer continues to recommend that all persons continue to wear face coverings when indoors. The California Department of Public Health continues to require masking in higher-risk settings such as public transit, healthcare facilities, shelters, jails, and long-term care facilities. As of March 26, 2022, the Omicron subvariant BA.2 is now the dominant variant in the US accounting for nearly 55% of new COVID-19 cases in the U.S. On March 29, 2022, the FDA authorized a second booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccines for people 50 years of age and older and some immunocompromised people. These associated emergency conditions are on-going and there is a need to continue teleconferencing for public meetings without posting the teleconferencing locations on the agenda and without requiring the teleconference locations to be accessible to the public during the current Governor-proclaimed COVID-19 state of emergency. The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the City’s legislative bodies to meet safely in person, and City officials continue to impose or recommend public health safety measures.
It is recommended that the Council adopt a resolution to make requisite findings to allow the City’s legislative bodies to continue to hold public meetings solely by teleconference or otherwise electronically so long as the state of emergency and social distancing measures continue. The Council will have to take action on a monthly basis to reassess and reaffirm such findings to continue meeting remotely.
The proposed Resolution is attached.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) in that it is a governmental organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact other than administrative time and expense.

Resolution/Allowing City Legislative Bodies to Hold Teleconference Public Meetings Pursuant to AB 361 Page 2 of 5 Rev: 11/22/17
which suspended the Brown Act teleconferencing requirements so that legislative bodies can hold public meetings solely by teleconference, or otherwise electronically, without listing the teleconference locations and without any physical location, as long as the agenda that is posted 72 hours in advance indicates that the members of the legislative body will be participating by teleconference, provides the teleconference or webinar access information by which the public may participate electronically, and lists the procedure for individuals with disabilities to request reasonable accommodations;
WHEREAS, on June 11, 2021, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-08-21, which sunsets the Brown Act provisions of Executive Order N-29-20 on September 30, 2021; WHEREAS, on September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed urgency ordinance AB 361 which allows a local agency to use teleconferencing for public meetings without posting the teleconferencing locations on the agenda and without requiring the teleconference locations to be accessible to the public during a Governor-proclaimed state of emergency pursuant to California Government Code Section 8625 et seq, if the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members of its legislative bodies to meet safely in person or state or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing; WHEREAS, in light of the continued state of emergency related to COVID-19, the Santa Clara County Public Health Officer continues to recommend that public bodies meet remotely to the extent possible, specifically including use of newly enacted AB 361 to maintain remote meetings under the Ralph M. Brown Act and similar laws, as outlined in their “Recommendation Regarding Continued Remote Public Meetings of Governmental Entities” issued on September 21, 2021;
WHEREAS, on October 19, 2021, November 16, 2021, December 14, 2021, January 11, 2022, February 8, 2022, and March 8, 2022, the City Council approved Resolutions Nos. 21-9013, 21- 9023, 21-9038, 22-9042, 22-9051, and 22-9058, respectively, to allow City Legislative bodies to hold public meetings solely by teleconference or otherwise electronically pursuant to AB 361; Resolution/Allowing City Legislative Bodies to Hold Teleconference Public Meetings Pursuant to AB 361 Page 3 of 5 Rev: 11/22/17
WHEREAS, on November 2, 2021, federal, state and local health officials authorized emergency use of the Pfizer COVID vaccine for children ages 5-11, and may consider emergency authorization of the COVID vaccine for children under age 5 within the next few months;
WHEREAS, on November 22, 2021, Santa Clara County moved into the moderate (orange) COVID-19 transmission tier;
WHEREAS, on November 25, 2021, scientists identified the latest COVID-19 variant, Omicron, which has prompted concern among scientists and public health officials because of an unusually high number of mutations that have the potential to make the virus more transmissible and less susceptible to existing vaccines; WHEREAS, on December 13, 2021, the California Department of Public Health reinstituted its statewide mask mandate, requiring all individuals, regardless of their vaccination status, to wear face coverings in indoor public settings from December 15, 2021 through January 15, 2022 due to a 47% increase in the statewide seven-day average case rate and 14% increase in hospitalizations since Thanksgiving;
WHEREAS, in light of the rapid surge in cases due to the Omicron variant, on December 28, 2021, the County of Santa Clara Health Officer issued a health order requiring up-to-date COVID-19 vaccination for workers in certain higher-risk settings. The new order builds on recent changes in the State Health Officer’s vaccination requirements by mandating up-to-date vaccination by workers in certain healthcare and long-term care settings; WHEREAS, as of February 3, 2021, new daily Covid-19 cases are on the decline since the surge from the Omicron variant. However, California Covid-19 deaths continue to rise and hospitalizations remain elevated;
WHEREAS, on February 27, 2022, the Santa Clara County Public Health Officer rescinded the health order requiring the use of face covering indoors effective March 2, 2022. However, the Santa Clara County Public Health Officer continues to recommend that all persons continue to Resolution/Allowing City Legislative Bodies to Hold Teleconference Public Meetings Pursuant to AB 361 Page 4 of 5 Rev: 11/22/17
wear face coverings when indoors. The California Department of Public Health continues to require masking in higher-risk settings such as public transit, healthcare facilities, shelters, jails, and long-term care facilities. While Santa Clara County has met the required masking metrics (80% of the population vaccinated, COVID-19 hospitalizations in the jurisdiction are low and stable, seven consecutive days with the seven-day rolling average of new cases at 550 or below) to transition to a strong recommendation for indoor masking, the county remains in the “medium” level of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s new COVID-19 community level framework;
WHEREAS, as of March 26, 2022, the Omicron subvariant BA.2 is now the dominant variant in the US accounting for nearly 55% of new COVID-19 cases in the U.S; WHEREAS, on March 29, 2022, the FDA authorized a second booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccines for people 50 years of age and older and some immunocompromised people; WHEREAS, Government Code Section 54953(e)(3) requires that the City Council review the need and make findings for continuing the teleconferencing without complying with the agenda posting and public comment requirements at least once every thirty (30) days until Governor terminates the state of emergency; and,
WHEREAS, the associated emergency conditions are on-going and there is a need to continue teleconferencing for public meetings without posting the teleconferencing locations on the agenda and without requiring the teleconference locations to be accessible to the public during the current Governor-proclaimed COVID-19 state of emergency and if approved, will be in effect for 30 days and will expire on May 5, 2022 unless staff returns to City Council on or before May 5, 2022 to request to continue the need for teleconferencing.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF SANTA CLARA AS FOLLOWS:
1. That the City Council hereby finds that the state of emergency conditions related to COVID-19, as set forth in Resolution No. 22-9058 adopted on March 8, 2022 and Resolution/Allowing City Legislative Bodies to Hold Teleconference Public Meetings Pursuant to AB 361 Page 5 of 5 Rev: 11/22/17

REPORT TO STADIUM AUTHORITY BOARD
SUBJECT
Note and File an Informational Report on Stadium Authority Contracts for Fiscal Year 2021/22 per Santa Clara City Code Chapter 17.30 Stadium Authority Procurement Policy
BOARD PILLAR
Ensure Compliance with Measure J and Manage Levi’s Stadium
BACKGROUND
Santa Clara City Code Chapter 17.30 Stadium Authority Procurement Policy formalizes the policies and procedures with respect to procurement for the Stadium Authority, with the intent to: (1) Establish efficient, equitable and effective procedures for the procurement activities of the Stadium Authority; (2) Ensure the integrity and equity in the procurement activities of the Stadium Authority and provide safeguards for the impartial application of the procurement policies; and, (3) Enable the Stadium Authority to operate and maintain equipment and facilities responsibly and to complete projects on time and on budget.
The Code applies to all purchases and contracts for supplies, goods, materials, and equipment by and on behalf of the Stadium Authority and establishes the Executive Director as the purchasing officer of the Stadium Authority.
Under Chapter 17.30.160(b), the Executive Director shall prepare, and submit to the Stadium Authority Board a report at the end of the fiscal year summarizing the total number of contracts let, the number of contracts approved under an exception, the number of contracts approved under best value procedures and the number of contracts approved under formal bidding procedures, and to the extent possible listing information related to application and outreach efforts conducted to implement the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program.
On October 8, 2019, the Stadium Authority Board (Board) adopted Ordinance No. 2005 amending Chapter 17.30 of the City Code (Stadium Authority Procurement Policy), which rescinded the delegation to the Executive Director to enter into agreements without prior Board approval. As result of Ordinance No. 2005, the Stadium Manager is also required to request for Board approval before entering into agreements on behalf of the Stadium Authority. As of the effective date of the Ordinance (November 8, 2019), all Stadium Authority agreements for services, supplies, materials, and equipment require the approval of the Stadium Authority Board.
DISCUSSION
The Stadium Authority entered into or amended 9 contracts and awarded 8 purchase orders during Fiscal Year (FY) 2021/22. All the contracts and purchase orders, except for the legal contracts, were approved by the Board or the Board delegated authority to staff to execute. The three legal contracts City of Santa Clara Printed on 3/28/2022Page 1 of 6
powered by Legistar™
22-173 Agenda Date: 4/5/2022
were awarded under the Stadium Authority Counsel’s authority to contract for legal services, which are exempt from competitive bidding per Code 17.30.110(d). There is no information to report related to application and outreach efforts conducted to implement the DBE program to include in the report.
Table 1 summarizes the Stadium Authority’s contract activity for FY 2021/22:
Stadium Manager Procurement Activity
Table 2 summarizes the Stadium Manager’s contract activity on behalf of the Stadium Authority for FY 2021/22. Staff compiled the information based on procurement requests for which the Stadium Manager sought Board approval. The contracts were all approved by the Board with delegated authority to the Executive Director to review and approve supporting documentation before reimbursement of costs, consistent with the Board’s March 27, 2019 direction to staff to stop payment of any additional invoices for services unless there is substantial documentation of services rendered which must also be in compliance with State law and City Code. At the time of writing this report, staff has received several copies of the fully executed agreements and purchase orders from the Stadium Manager and has requested the Stadium Manager to provide copies of the remaining Board approved agreements/purchase orders for the Stadium Authority’s records.

22-173 Agenda Date: 4/5/2022
On March 2, 2021, the Board approved an agreement with DemandStar for e-procurement services for the Stadium Authority. The services within the agreement are provided at no cost to the Stadium Authority and the agreement has no expiration date. The Stadium Authority pursued this free e- procurement tool due to Stadium Authority’s low number of procurements. Since the agreement was executed, staff has used the e-procurement platform twice: to advertise a Request for Proposal for a mass casualty incident trailer CapEx project and separately to advertise a Request for Statement of Qualification for marketing plan assessment services. DemandStar has proven effective for the Stadium Authority’s needs and staff recommends its continued use.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) in that it is a governmental organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no cost to the Stadium Authority to prepare this report other than administrative staff time and expense.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Stadium Authority Counsel and Treasurer’s Offices.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Public contact was made by posting the Council agenda on the City’s official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall Council Chambers. A complete agenda packet is available on the City’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office at least 72 hours prior to a Regular Meeting and 24 hours prior to a Special Meeting. A hard copy of any agenda report may be requested by contacting the City Clerk’s Office at (408) 615-2220, email [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> .

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Public Hearing: FY21/22 Annual Action Plan Substantial Amendment and FY22/23 DRAFT Annual Action Plan for the use of Federal Housing and Urban Development Grant Funds
COUNCIL PILLAR
Promote and Enhance Economic, Housing and Transportation Development
BACKGROUND
As an entitlement agency, the City of Santa Clara receives annual funding from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in the form of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds. CDBG funds are used to provide public services to Santa Clara’s low-income residents and funding for capital improvement projects. HOME funds are used for the development of affordable housing options.
HUD requires that every five years the City, as an entitlement agency, prepare a Five-Year Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) which identifies goals and needs within the community that could be addressed through the use of HUD funding, The City’s current ConPlan was prepared in 2020. HUD also requires that the City each year submit an Annual Action Plan. The Annual Action Plan details how CDBG and HOME allocations will be used by the City to address the goals and needs identified in the City’s ConPlan.
DISCUSSION
Staff is requesting that the City Council approve two documents: a Substantial Amendment to the City’s FY21-22 Annual Action Plan; and the City’s Draft FY22-23 Annual Action Plan.
FY21-22 Annual Action Plan Substantial Amendment
The proposed Substantial Amendment is necessary to adjust the City use of HUD funding in order to be consistent with HUD requirements that CDBG grantees carry out their program in a timely manner. “Timely performance” is measured by the rate of expenditure of its CDBG funds from the grantee’s Line of Credit. A CDBG Entitlement grantee, in accordance with the CDBG regulations at 24 CFR 570.902 must have a balance no greater than one and one-half (1.5) times its annual grant remaining in the line of credit, 60 days prior to the end of the program year. Staff is proposing to redirect a portion of the City’s CDBG funds from the City’s Neighborhood Conservation Improvement Program (NCIP) to qualified Public Facility Improvements.
When proposing significant changes to a previously approved Annual Action Plan, the City must complete a Substantial Amendment. The public must be given at least a 30-day Review Period to provide comment on the Substantial Amendment and its proposed changes. The Review Period began on March 2, 2022, and the Substantial Amendment is being presented at tonight’s Council City of Santa Clara Printed on 3/31/2022Page 1 of 4
powered by Legistar™
22-139 Agenda Date: 4/5/2022
Meeting.
Due to the pandemic, the City has seen a significant reduction in requests for services for the NCIP.
In the same period, the City has received more program income than anticipated. Due to these two factors, the City will not be able to meet the HUD timeliness performance test for 2021-2022. When a grantee does not meet its timely performance test, HUD requires that the grantee create a plan to meet its timeliness performance for the following year. The proposed changes in this Substantial Amendment will help to address the City’s timeliness issues by reprogramming funds committed to the City’s Homeowner Rehabilitation Program (i.e., Neighborhood Conservation Improvement Program; NCIP) to Public Facility Improvements which can include improvements to non-profit agency buildings and public works projects. Staff also adjusted estimates for Program Income, Prior Year Resources, Expected Resources, and Goal Outcome Indicators affected by these adjustments.
See Attachment 4 for highlights of significant changes noted in the Substantial Amendment.
If this change is approved, staff will publish a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for projects that provide capital improvements to facilities that serve the low-moderate income residents of Santa Clara.
Attachment 1, the 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan Substantial Amendment, provides additional details on these proposed changes.
FY22-23 Annual Action Plan (DRAFT)
The 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan is a one-year Plan that details how the HUD funds will be spent on projects and activities to address goals and needs identified in the ConPlan. Because HUD has yet to announce annual allocations for fiscal year 2022-2023 , the annual allocation amount used in this plan is based upon last year’s funding amount with a slight increase consistent with prior years.
In addition to the anticipated annual allocation, the Annual Action Plan also identifies use for funds that carryover from the prior year and funds that come to the City as Program Income as loans made by the City in the past are paid back. The Carryover amount is based upon estimations of current activities that may not fully draw down funds that have been committed in the FY21-22 Annual Action Plan. The Program Income amount is based upon estimates of which NCIP loans may be paid off during the FY22-23. All numbers are subject to change prior to the presentation of the final 2022- 2023 Annual Action Plan.
HUD requires that the public be provided two opportunities to offer input on the development of the Annual Action Plan; once during the development of the draft Annual Action Plan, and once prior to submission of the final version to HUD. This is the first of the two required public hearings. Public comment will be included in the final version of the Annual Action Plan which is scheduled to be presented to the City Council on May 10, 2022. The final version of the Annual Action Plan will be submitted to HUD on or before May 16, 2022. See Attachment 5 for summary of the City’s Expected Resources for the FY22-23 Annual Action Plan.
Attachment 3, the 2022-2023 DRAFT Annual Action Plan Funding Breakdown, details which programs and activities will be funded with HUD funds and which will be funded with local funds to benefit Santa Clara’s low-income population. The Public Service Agencies identified in the proposed distribution are in the third year of a three-year contract with the City to provide services. The City will initiate a new Notice of Funding Availability for public services in 2023 for a two-year time frame corresponding to the remainder of the five year term of the ConPlan.

The proposed allocations in this Annual Action Plan will also help to address the City’s timeliness issues discussed above by redirecting use of CDBG funds on an ongoing basis

The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) in that it is a governmental organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City’s Substantial Amendment of the FY21-22 Action Plan will propose to reduce the amount of program income projected to be received ($450,000 to $105,000), shift funding from the City’s NCIP program ($972,769 to $0) to a new Public Facilities Improvement Activity ($0 to $642,000), and other minor funding adjustments to current activities. If approved by Council, the Substantial Amendment will be submitted to HUD for approval and budget adjustments will be made on a Monthly Financial Report after HUD approval.
The City estimates its entitlement allocations for FY22-23 to be $1,100,000 in CDBG funds and $450,000 in HOME funds; a slight increase from prior year funding amounts of $1,074,699 and $443,011 respectively. The estimated FY22-23 program income that will be programmed in FY22-23 is $200,000 for CDBG and $10,000 for HOME. Once the City receives formal notification from HUD of the entitlement allocations for both grants, they will be incorporated into FY22-23 Proposed Budget. No additional budget actions are required for either the 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan Substantial Amendment or the 2022-2023 Draft Action Plan at this time.

2021‐2022 Annual Action Plan – Substantial Amendment 3 AP‐05 Executive Summary – 91.200 (c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
NOTE: Only the sections of the 2021/2022 Annual Action Plan that have been amended are outlined in this Substantial Amendment. Unless otherwise noted, all other sections of the 2021/2022 Annual Action Plan have not changed.
The City of Santa Clara (City) is an entitlement city that receives federal funding from the Department of Housing and Urban and Development (HUD). The City receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and HOME and Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds. The City is required to develop a 5‐Year Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) that identifies the goals and needs of the community. During the ConPlan cycle, the City must develop Annual Action Plans (AAPs) which detail projects and activities to be funded in during the program year in support of the identified goals and needs.
When proposing significant changes to a previously approved plan, the City must complete a Substantial Amendment. The public is given at least a 30‐day Review Period to provide comment on the Substantial Amendment and its proposed changes, and the Substantial Amendment is presented at a public at a public hearing (i.e., City Council meeting).
Changes to the 2021‐2022 Annual Action Plan include, but are not limited to:
– Reprogramming of CDBG funds previously programmed for the City’s Neighborhood Conservation Improvement Program (NCIP) to projects and activities that address the ConPlan Goal of improving Public Facilities.
– Adjustment to the estimated CDBG Program Income amount. – Adjustments to the estimated CDBG and HOME Prior Year Resources amounts. – Adjustments to the Expected Resources totals for HOME and CDBG funding. – Adjustments to the Goal Outcome Indicators affected by the adjustments to the amounts referenced above.
2021‐2022 Annual Action Plan – Substantial Amendment 4
4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process The Substantial Amendment is required to have a 30‐day Review Period, and the plan must be presented at a public hearing for approval.
30‐Day Review Period. The 30‐day Review Period was noticed in the Santa Clara Weekly on March 2,
2022, and the Substantial Amendment was also sent to community non‐profit partners. The Review Period began on March 2, 2022 was completed on April 5, 2022. The Substantial Amendment was made available to the public on the City’s website, and at various locations throughout the City including City Hall, the Central Library, and at the offices of the Housing & Community Services Division.
Public Hearing. A public hearing is scheduled for April 5, 2022 at the regularly scheduled City Council Meeting.
The 30‐Day Review Period, the public noticing and the public hearing satisfies the requirements noted in the City’s Citizen Participation Plan, and the requirements set by HUD.

TBD
6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them The City did not receive any public comments that were not accepted. The City attempted to incorporate all feedback received through outreach efforts into the Plan.
7. Summary
HUD requires that CDBG grantees carry out their program in a timely manner. “Timely performance” is measured by the rate of expenditure of its CDBG funds from the grantee’s Line of Credit. A CDBG Entitlement grantee, in accordance with the CDBG regulations at 24 CFR 570.902 must have a balance no greater than one and one‐half (1.5) times its annual grant remaining in the line of credit, 60 days prior to the end of the program year which is on or around May 1st.
Due to pandemic, the City has seen a significant reduction in requests for services for the Neighborhood Conservation Improvement Program. In the same time period, the City has receipted more program income than anticipated. Due to these two factors, the City will not be able to meet its timeliness performance requirement for 2021‐2022. When a grantee does not meet its timely performance test, HUD requires that the City create a plan to meet its timeliness performance for the following year. These proposed changes in this Substantial Amendment will help to address the City’s timeliness issues.
2021‐2022 Annual Action Plan – Substantial Amendment 5 AP‐15 Expected Resources – 91.220 (c) (1,2)
1. Introduction
The amendments to this Expected Resources section (i.e., Program Income and Prior Year Resources) shown in table AP‐ 15 below are based on known amounts. When Annual Action Plans are drafted, Program Income and Prior Year Resources are estimates. Due to the proposed amendments related to the NCIP program and Public Facilities Improvements which initiated the need for this Substantial Amendment, the City has taken the opportunity to amend estimated amounts of Expected Resources to known amounts.
CDBG Funds: The total amount of CDBG resources expected to be available for FY21/22 is $1,717,699$1,261,020. This total is made up of the annual CDBG entitlement from HUD, Prior Year Resources (i.e., funds that are being re‐programmed and/or funds that were programmed but not spent), and Program Income (i.e., income generated from prior CDBG projects such as loan repayments).
‐ Annual Entitlement Funds $1,074,699
‐ Estimated Prior Year Balance $ 193,000$81,321
‐ Estimated FY21/22 Program Income $ 450,000$105,000

AP‐05 Executive Summary – 91.200 (c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
The City of Santa Clara (City) is an entitlement city that receives federal funding from the Department of Housing and Urban and Development (HUD). The City receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and HOME and Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds.
CDBG provides funding to address community development needs through public services and capital improvement projects. Capital Improvement Projects are improvements to public facilities that serve low‐ and moderate‐income persons, and city infrastructure projects in areas of low‐ and moderate‐ income census tracts and/or blocks. Seventy percent (70%) of gross funding is used to serve low‐ to moderate‐ income households. Eligible activities must meet one of the following national objectives:
1) Benefit low‐ and moderate‐ income persons; 2) Prevention or elimination of slums or blight; or 3) Address community development needs having an urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community, and other funding is not available.
HOME provides funding for the development of affordable housing options including building, and/or rehabilitating housing for rent and providing direct rental assistance to low‐income households.
The City worked collaboratively with the County of Santa Clara and other entitlement jurisdictions to develop the 5‐year ConPlan in 2019. The ConPlan identifies and prioritizes housing and housing‐ related needs across the region and for the City of Santa Clara. The purpose of the ConPlan is to guide the City to:
‐ Assess their affordable housing and community development needs and market conditions, ‐ Make data‐driven, place‐based investment decisions; and ‐ Conduct community‐wide discussions to identify housing and community development priorities that align and focus on eligible activities for HUD’s funding The 5‐Year ConPlan is supported by the Annual Action Plan (AAP). The AAP documents annually how the City will use HUD funding consistent with the goals and needs identified in the ConPlan.
2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes of the Plan
The AAP supports the goals and needs identified in the ConPlan as stated below:
‐ Affordable Housing. Projects and programs for low income such as affordable developments and rental subsidies, and rehabilitation of single and multi‐family housing. ‐ Public Services. Nonprofit partners provide services of need to lower income households. ‐ Homelessness. Support activities to end homelessness including homeless prevention programs, case management, outreach activities and support of facilities. ‐ Fair Housing. Promote Fair Housing choice through funding informational and investigative services for tenants and landlords.
2022‐2023 Annual Action Plan 3
‐ Public Facilities. Improvement to public facilities that provide services to low‐income people.
3. Evaluation of past performance
In 2020, the last full Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) to HUD reported the following accomplishments towards the annual goals:
‐ Affordable Housing.
The Tenant Based Rental Assistance program assisted 52 households, and between the NCIP program and Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley, there were 13 households assisted. ‐ Public Services.
There were 1,150 residents that benefited from public services provided by eleven non‐profit agencies. The City also developed an Emergency Rental Assistance Program to respond to COVID crisis by assisting low‐income tenants with rental assistance. 203 households were assisted.
‐ Homelessness.
151 households benefited from case management services provided by local non‐profit agencies. The majority of these households were assisted with local funds. ‐ Fair Housing.
Project Sentinel assisted 31 households with fair housing services. ‐ Public Facilities.
The curb cutting project that is underway was not completed as of reporting time for 2020.
4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process During the development of the 2022–2023 Annual Action Plan, City staff solicited public comment to help identify community needs, and non‐profit agencies that could provide services to address those identified needs.
Community Outreach Meetings. Due to the ongoing pandemic and the restriction on public events, City staff could not conduct in person meetings. Further, the City is entering the third year of a 3‐year contract cycle with its non‐profit partners that provide public services.
Public Hearings. Two public hearings will take place for the Annual Action Plan. The first Public Hearing took place on April 5, 2022 at the regularly scheduled City Council Meeting. This Public Hearing satisfies the Citizen Participation Plan requirement to hold at least one meeting during the drafting phase of the Annual Action Plan and to provide the public an opportunity to provide input. The second Public Hearing will take place on May 10, 2022 to present the final version of the Annual Action Plan prior to submission of the Plan to HUD.

CDBG‐funded public services continue to be a great asset to the community, with many of the programs funded focusing on the senior population and homeless. The leveraging opportunities for our nonprofits by receiving HUD funding is of great value. The City will continue to seek out creative solutions to improve their grants management program.

AP‐10 Consultation – 91.100, 91.200(b) 91.215 (I)
Introduction
As a part of the stakeholder consultation process, the City typically consults with a variety of stakeholders, including City departments, human service agencies, local and regional community‐based organizations, housing providers and advocates, and the local housing authority. Social service providers are also consulted including those that provide services to seniors, persons with disabilities, homeless persons, and other lower‐ income individuals and other at‐risk populations.
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(l)).
Due to the COVID‐19 crisis and the fact that the City is entering its final year of 3‐year contract cycle with its service providers, activities towards this effort were limited. The City did design and implement an Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) to respond to the rent relief efforts. ERAP was funded with CARES Act funds and CDBG , and those funds were leveraged with local funds.
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.
The Santa Clara County Continuum of Care (CoC) is a multi‐sector group of stakeholders dedicated to ending and preventing homelessness in the County of Santa Clara (County). The CoC primary responsibilities are to coordinate large‐scale implementation of efforts to prevent and end homelessness in the County. The CoC is governed by the Santa Clara CoC Board (CoC Board), which stands as the driving force committed to supporting and promoting a systems‐change approach to preventing and ending homelessness in the County.
The CoC Board is comprised of the same individuals who serve on the Destination: Home Leadership Board. Destination: Home, a program of the Health Trust, is a public‐private partnership implementing collective impact strategies to end homelessness in Santa Clara County. Its mission is to drive and align resources to create permanent housing and sustainable support systems built for the long term. The organization is improving how systems work together to end homelessness, as well as protect individuals and families at risk of becoming homeless.
The results of the latest Point in Time Homeless Count showed an increase in homeless families; thus, it was determined that a redesign of the Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) program was needed. The City and the TBRA administrator, Abode Services, worked closely with the CoC to help redesign the TBRA program to focus on families with the goal of no homeless children in Santa Clara. Processes in client evaluation and referral were strengthened. Other supportive housing projects such as Homesafe Santa Clara, Sobrato Family Living Center, Bill Wilson Center and Silicon Valley Independent Living Center continue to thrive. In addition, the City has provided assistance to a number of local agencies that operate programs serving the homeless that are consistent with the, "Serve the Person" strategy, such as Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence, Support Network for Battered Women, HomeFirst (formerly Emergency Housing Consortium), LifeMoves (formerly Innvision) and Project Sentinel.
2022‐2023 Annual Action Plan 2
The City of Santa Clara, having endorsed the 2020‐2025 Santa Clara County Community Plan to End Homelessness, is convening a Homelessness Taskforce in spring 2022. The Taskforce will include stakeholders with a range of perspectives and experience who can help identify priorities and provide recommendations on the development of a City Plan to End Homelessness. The City has partnered with the non‐profit, Homebase, to facilitate the taskforce and to develop the plan. 2022‐2023 Annual Action Plan 3

2022‐2023 Annual Action Plan 4
Identify any Agency Types not consulted and provide rationale for not consulting:
The City did not reach out to broadband‐specific providers/organizations. This was due, in part to the results of the 2020‐2025 Consolidated Plan survey. 62% of respondents felt there was not a common/pressing issue with broadband or internet access. Also, local internet providers all provide low‐ cost options and/or discounts to low‐income households.
Although the City works with organizations whose primary responsibilities include the management of flood prone areas, public land or water resources, and emergency management agencies on normal public business, these organizations were not specifically
consulted for Annual Action Plan. Issues related to such agencies were not mentioned as an issue in the ConPlan survey.
The City plans on reaching out specifically to these agency types in the next Annual Action Plan process.

AP‐55 Affordable Housing – 91.220 (g)
Introduction
For the purpose of this section, the term “affordable housing” is defined in the HOME regulations at 24 CFR 92.252 for rental housing and 24 CFR 92.254 for homeownership.
The City of Santa Clara has identified the production and maintenance of affordable housing as the primary objective for the
expenditure of federal funds in the Consolidated Plan. While CDBG and HOME funds are limited, the City will continue to allocate funding to affordable housing projects, including owner‐occupied rehabilitation. The City has non‐federal funding sources that it will use toward the development of affordable housing during Fiscal Year 2022‐2023.
AP‐55A – One Year Goals for the Number of Households to be Supported (by Population Type) Homeless – Housing assistance for units reserved for homeless individuals and households. 40 Non‐Homeless – Housing assistance for all units NOT reserved for homeless individuals and households.
16 Special‐Needs – Housing assistance for units reserved for households that are not homeless but require specialized housing or supportive services.

Discussion
The City’s goal, as it relates to Affordable Housing, is to assist in the creation and preservation of affordable housing for low income and special needs households through continuation of the Neighborhood Conservation and Improvement Program, rental habilitation of units occupied by low income tenants, TBRA rental subsidies, and new
construction.

AP‐60 Public Housing – 91.220 (h)
Introduction
The Santa Clara County Housing Authority (SCCHA) is the regional entity that manages and maintains housing units and administers Housing Choice Voucher programs across the County. SCCHA operates four public housing units located in City of Santa Clara. The housing authority is a HUD‐designated Moving to Work (MTW)
agency which allows it greater flexibility to design and implement more innovative approaches to providing housing assistance.
Over 10,000 housing vouchers are currently active county‐wide. The types of voucher in use include project‐ based, tenant‐based, veteran focused, and vouchers for persons with a disability. The majority of voucher holders
have a tenant‐based voucher which is a type of voucher that allows the holder to use the voucher at any housing unit where the landlord will accept the voucher. Data on the number of vouchers in use within the City is unavailable.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing
The SCCHA has converted three of their original public housing projects to affordable housing stock, only one public housing project with four units remains in the City. The City will continue to work closely with the SCCHA to address any needs identified during the program year.
The most immediate need is finding housing units and owners that will accept vouchers. Stakeholder interviews also identified the need for assisting families moving into affordable units with basic necessities.
SCCHA re‐proposed a landlord initiative activity begun in 2017 to attract new Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) owners and encourage existing HCV owners to re‐lease existing HCV units to another HCV tenant to fill unit vacancies. SCCHA hopes these incentives continue attracting new, and retaining current, owners to the Section 8 program increasing the number of affordable rental units in the City.
SCCHA is proposing a new activity for approval by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) aimed at streamlining the conversion of non‐Section 8 subsidized units into Project Based Voucher units upon expiration or owner opt‐out from a HUD contract. Conversion of subsidized units into PBV units increases the housing choices for low‐income families and preserves the long‐term affordability of expiring subsidized properties
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
SCCHA is proactive in incorporating resident input into the policy‐making process. The SCCHA board includes two tenant commissioners that provide input from the tenant perspective.

AP‐65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220 (i)
Introduction
In the last County Point‐in‐Time Count in 2019, the count identified 9,706 homeless individuals, which was higher than any count over the last ten years. Of these individuals, 1,784 are sheltered and 7,922 are unsheltered. Individuals with the highest rates of being without shelter are the chronically homeless,
homeless veterans, and unaccompanied youth. It is estimated that 25 percent or 2,470 are chronically homeless with 85 percent of those chronically homeless are unsheltered; 653 are veterans, with 68 percent unsheltered; 269 are families, with 26 percent unsheltered; and 1,876 are unaccompanied youth, with 95 percent unsheltered. It is also estimated that two percent of homeless individuals are living with HIV. Due to the COVID crisis, the Point‐in‐Time Count of 2021 was not conducted.
Describe the jurisdictions one‐year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs.
The City will continue its efforts of housing homeless families through its TBRA program. The goal is to house/keep housed approximately 40 households. The City will renew its agreement with the County of Santa Clara for FY22/23 to provide intensive case management to approximately 20 chronically homeless individuals identified by the police department. This program is funded with local funds. The County provides housing subsidies for the participants in this program while the City uses its Successor Housing Agency funds to provide the case management and services for the program.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional
housing needs of homeless persons.
The City will fund agencies that serve homeless persons accessing emergency and transitional shelters.
Much of the funding will come from CDBG for agencies providing public services such as case management. Agencies include Next Door Solutions, Bill Wilson Center, and Abode Services.
Helping homeless persons
(especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again.
Particularly for chronically homeless, it is preferable for individuals to receive intensive case management rather than simple information and referral services. Case managers work to assist homeless individuals find housing, connect with resources, and receive services to maintain housing. The provision of case management is person‐based rather than shelter‐based with the goal of rapid re‐housing. The five‐year goals of the Community Plan to End Homelessness establish a target of creating 6,000 housing opportunities for persons who are homeless. An additional goal is for each of the 6,000 new tenants to have access to the services that will allow them to maintain that housing.
The City will continue using prior year HOME funds and FY22/23 Entitlement funds for our TBRA program which gives security deposits and monthly subsidies to the homeless families and/or domestic violence survivors, or those
families at risk of homelessness.
2022‐2023 Annual Action Plan 22
Countywide, there were 294 homeless families with children counted. Homeless families are typically underrepresented in the Homeless Survey. Oftentimes, homeless families are using shelters or transitional housing facilities, vehicles, and/or splitting up and couch surfing. This results in an underrepresented count of homeless families during the census.
Along with the point
‐in‐time count, 587 surveys were given to homeless households/individuals. The surveys were given primarily in unsheltered locales. The results showed “257 chronically homeless individuals, 49 homeless veterans, 19 individuals in homeless families, 42 unaccompanied children and transition‐age youth.”
1 The TBRA program is a short‐term solution to homelessness (unlike permanent supported housing for the chronically homeless). The Homeless Survey has shown that families with children are not only a special needs population, but tend to be underrepresented in Homeless Surveys. The TBRA program will continue to focus on
assisting the homeless and at‐risk of homelessness population; however, preferences towards families with children, and individuals and/or families exiting housing exclusively designated for domestic violence survivors will be given.
Helping low‐income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low‐ income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs.
Avoiding homelessness. The City will be assisting low‐and‐extremely‐low income households affected by the COVID crisis to avoid becoming. It will be implementing a program with local funds to avoid evictions by assisting households with rental arrears.
Assisting those discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care. The City uses local funds to match county funds for a program that houses up to twenty (20) homeless individuals that are identified by the police department as high users of community resources; some of which had been discharged from facilities and/or jails. This population is also provided case management services.
Youth needs. The City provides CDBG funding for family and individual counseling needs through the Bill Wilson Center which focuses on the needs of foster children. The Bill Wilson Center also assists in administering the City’s TBRA program. By administering these programs, it provides The Bill Wilson Center the unique resources to identify homeless families, foster youth in their own system, and households with children in the school system that may be in need of critical needs such as housing, health, employment, education, and other social services.

AP‐75 Barriers to Affordable Housing – 91.220 (j)
Introduction
The jurisdictions within the County face barriers to affordable housing that are common throughout the Bay Area. High on the list is the lack of developable land, which increases the cost of available lands and increases housing development costs. Local opposition is another common obstacle as many neighbors have strong reactions to infill and affordable housing developments. Opposition is often based on misconceptions, such as an anticipated increase in crime; erosion of property values; increase in parking and traffic congestion; and overwhelmed schools. However, to ensure a healthy economy, the region must focus on strategies and investment that provide housing for much of the workforce in the region – sales clerks and secretaries, firefighters and police, teachers and health service workers – whose incomes significantly limit their housing choices.
The City has identified multiple constraints or barriers to the affordable housing and residential investment in its 2015‐2023 Housing Element Update, including:
Land use controls limit the allowed density of housing production; Parking requirements increase the cost of housing.
Generally, the City faces the same affordable housing barriers as the rest of the Bay Area, including:
High cost of development constrains the development of affordable housing units in favor of higher‐end units;
Lack of developable land prevents housing development and increases the price of land; and Local opposition prevents affordable housing from being built in high‐resource areas.
Additionally, the Assessment of Fair Housing identified the following contributing factors to fair housing issues, including affordable housing, through analysis of data and community engagement feedback:
Displacement of residents due to economic pressures
Land use and zoning laws
Source of income discrimination
Community opposition
Availability of affordable units in a range of sizes Availability, type, frequency, and reliability of public transportation Lack of access to opportunity due to high housing costs Lack of affordable, accessible housing in a range of unit sizes Lack of affordable housing for individuals who need supportive services Lack of assistance for housing accessibility modifications Lack of resources for fair housing agencies and organizations Location and type of affordable housing
Loss of affordable housing
Private discrimination
2022‐2023 Annual Action Plan 24
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment.
The City identified multiple barriers to affordable housing, including income and wages that are not consistent with the rising cost of housing, a competitive rental and home market, and diminishing public funds.
The Housing Element includes the following actions to remove or ameliorate barriers: Work with nonprofits to acquire and rehabilitate distressed multi‐family housing and convert it to low income housing, update the City zoning ordinance to comply with state laws on reasonable accommodations, emergency shelters, transitional and supportive housing and density bonuses, accommodation of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment for the 2015 Housing Element to maintain an inventory of housing sites appropriate for a range of income levels and for supportive housing for persons with physical and developmental disabilities, analysis of impact fees, promote construction of accessary units and low income housing types such as Single Room Occupancy units, continue to require developers of 10 or more homeowner units to provide Below Market Rate units, consider establishing an affordable housing mitigation fee for large office and industrial developments, consider a local source of affordable housing funds.
2022‐2023 Annual Action Plan 25
AP‐85 Other Actions – 91.220 (k)
Introduction
This section discusses efforts in addressing the underserved needs, expanding and preserving affordable housing, reducing lead‐based paint hazards, and developing institutional structure for delivering housing and community development activities.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs One of the major obstacles to meeting the needs of the underserved is the limited amount of funding available to fund public services. The City contributes general funds to fund the tenant/landlord mediation program and the United Way 211 information line.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City funds Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley to administer its Homeowner Housing Rehabilitation program. The program addresses building/housing code deficiencies, abatement of hazardous conditions, repair/rehabilitation of deteriorated conditions, and accessibility for persons with disabilities, all to improve the habitability, use and occupancy of owner‐occupied housing. Financial assistance is provided in the form of grants. The City also administers its Neighborhood Conservation Improvement Program (i.e., Homeowner Housing Rehabilitation Program). These projects are typically larger in scope than the projects performed by Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley. Financial assistance is provided in the form of loans with flexible terms and below market rates.
A Memorandum of Understanding, approved by the City Council and RDA Board on November 14, 2006, directed that all RDA funds appropriated for the NCIP Program “will be committed permanently” to the NCIP Affordable Housing Rehabilitation Fund (AHRF). Any program income accruing from the expenditure of Successor Housing Agency (SHA) funds for NCIP activities would also be deposited in the AHRF. That program income will not be subject to federal restrictions or requirements. It will primarily be used for the NCIP program, but may be used for other activities that benefit low and moderate‐income persons as long as those activities address one or more of the housing and community goals set forth in the Consolidated Plan.
The City has a Below Market Purchase Program (BMP). This program requires developers to set aside 15% of newly constructed units for housing affordable to moderate income homebuyers. The Program is administered by HouseKeys. The Program created an additional source of revenue to augment future housing and community objectives – the City Affordable Housing Fund (CAHF). After five years, a BMP housing unit can convert from a restricted sales price to a market price. If a BMP unit is sold after the initial 5‐year period, the City recaptures the value of the affordable purchase price discount. Proceeds are deposited in the CAHF. Use of CAHF funds is not subject to federal or state restrictions. The CAHF funds will be used for activities that benefit low and moderate‐income persons and address one or more of the housing and community goals set forth in the ConPlan and its Housing Element.
Actions planned to reduce lead‐based paint hazards
The City undertakes HUD‐funded projects in accordance with the Lead‐Based Paint Regulations published in 2000. These regulations most commonly affect residential structures rehabilitated through NCIP. When identified, lead paint will be controlled or abated and disposed of properly to eliminate or reduce the hazard of environmental or human contamination. The City has adopted a written plan to implement the regulations in its NCIP Program and other housing rehabilitation activities.
2022‐2023 Annual Action Plan 26
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty‐level families On March 24, 2017 the Santa Clara City Council unanimously passed the first worker retention ordinance in Silicon Valley. This ordinance will provide much‐needed job security to some of the most vulnerable workers. This law protects food and building service workers from mass layoffs when companies switch contractors. It requires that if a company with an office or venue in Santa Clara hires a new contractor or brings services in‐house, the workers who currently work at that location must be kept on for a 90‐day transition period.
The City of Santa Clara is a participating member of the North County Consortium of Neighborhood Self Sufficiency Centers whose mission is to support the long‐term sustainability and self‐sufficiency of CalWORKs families. The consortium is made up of over 30 businesses, agencies and schools that have a record of successful work with CalWORKs clients.
The Santa Clara Unified School District (SCUSD) Adult Education Center has a CalWORKs Site Representative who acts as a liaison for participating CalWORKs students and Santa Clara County Social Services Agency. Some of these responsibilities include ensuring that all participants on campus are remaining in compliance with federal regulations, developing a welfare to work plan, reporting monthly attendance to the County for each participant, and reporting progress reports on a quarterly basis for each participant CalWORKs student to the County. In addition to the Site Representative, the Adult Education Center has a Career Advisor for CalWORKs students to help them in job placement, resume development, and interviewing skills.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City will continue its participation in the CDBG Coordinators Committee, which increasingly has become a public forum for discussion and active planning of common strategies to address the housing and community needs in Santa Clara County. The City is also planning to fill a vacant housing analyst position to assist with HUD‐related activities.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City will continue its efforts to encourage consortium‐building among housing developers, public
service providers, and governmental and non‐governmental entities. The City has achieved proven results in using federal funds to leverage private funds. The City participates in the quarterly meetings of the Supportive Housing Roundtable, which includes government agencies, housing developers, service providers, legal services and private funders.
Discussion
In 1983, the City of Santa Clara joined with several other cities to create the North Valley Job Training Consortium (NOVA) in response to the federal Workforce Investment Act. The consortium is a private/public partnership made up of representatives of local government, business and industry, labor, education and training systems, employment services, and community support organizations. The NOVA Workforce Board was established to guide the agency in its mission to deliver employment and training services that enhance the ability to live and work in Silicon Valley. Many of the services and programs provided by NOVA target disadvantaged youth and adult populations, who may have limited education and/or barriers to employment. NOVA is a partner in the CONNECT! Job Seeker Center, a comprehensive resource center open to all job seekers, which offers computer access, a resource library, resume assistance and job search workshops.

HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) Reference 24 CFR 91.220(l) (2)
A description of other forms of investment being used beyond those identified in Section 92.205 is as follows:
1. The City does not use HOME funds beyond those identified in Section 92.205. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds, if used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, are as follows:
Homeowner Equity – for purposes of this policy, it is defined as the sum of the down‐payment, principal paid, and homeowner improvements. Home Equity – for purposes of this policy, it is defined as the amount of HOME investment, adjusted as follows: (1) The HOME investment amount would be reduced if, at the time of the homeowner purchase, the market price is less than the cost of construction, by the amount of that difference; and (2) Beginning after six years of residency by the original buyer, the City would reduce its share of excess proceeds by a maximum of 10% for each additional full year the original buyer resides in the home. After the completion of 15 years of residency by the original buyer, the City would have no interest in recapturing any portion of its original HOME investment.
In the event of a sale of a HOME‐assisted house during the 15‐year HOME affordability period, sales proceeds would be distributed in the following order of priority:
a. Closing costs.
b. Primary mortgage loan (City or private lender).
c. Other loans superior to the HOME investment lien (if any have been approved by the City).
The remaining funds are considered Shared Net Proceeds under the HOME regulations and would be distributed in the following order of priority:
d. Homeowner Equity, or the amount of Shared Net Proceeds, whichever is less. e. Homeowner Shared Net Proceeds. This amount will be the greater of: (1) Homeowner Equity that was paid as described above; or (2) proportionately of the Shared Net Proceeds, according to the formula ‐ Homeowner Equity, divided by the sum of Homeowner Equity plus HOME Equity. f. HOME investment. The remainder of the Shared Net Proceeds. If the remaining Shared Net Proceeds are insufficient to repay the full amount of the HOME investment, the City would forgive any of the HOME investment that could not be repaid from the remaining Shared Net Proceeds.
2. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired with HOME funds. See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows:
The City secures its HOME funds by recording Deeds of Trust on the title of the property that received the funding. The period of affordability would be a minimum of 15 years.
3. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows:
The City does not have any plans to use HOME funds to refinance existing debt on multi‐family.
4. HOME funds may be allocated to affordable housing capital projects in contiguous jurisdictions.
The City does not plan on using HOME funds to refinance existing debt. 2022‐2023 Annual Action Plan 29
Discussion
CHDO set‐aside funds. The City of Santa Clara will consider providing assistance to affordable housing developments in contiguous jurisdictions using CHDO set‐aside funds.
TBRA assistance. While it would be ideal for participants to locate housing within the city limits, the program will allow participants to find housing
located anywhere within the County of Santa Clara.
95% After Rehab Valuation
The City of Santa Clara may use HOME funds for acquisition purposes. Per CFR 24 92.254 (a)(iii), the City has chosen to determine separate limits for existing housing than the given median purchase price issued by HUD. City staff researched the Multiple Listings Service (MLS) to determine the number of single‐family and multi‐family home sales. There were less than 250 sales per months; thus, per 24.92.254 (a)(iii), we were required to compile 3 months of sales figures. The following details the home sales in Santa Clara over the most recent three (3) months for single‐family homes and multi‐family homes at the time of publication. The numbers below are subject to change prior to submission of the AAP to HUD.

22-402 Agenda Date: 4/5/2022
REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Hold a Public TEFRA Hearing and Action on the Adoption of a Resolution Approving the California Municipal Finance Authority (CMFA) Issuance of Tax-Exempt Bonds Relating to the Financing of an 80-unit Multifamily Rental Housing Project for Low-income Senior Households to be Located in the City of Santa Clara, California at 3333 Kifer Road
COUNCIL PILLAR
Promote and Enhance Economic, Housing and Transportation Development
BACKGROUND
As part of the financing process for affordable housing projects which are seeking to utilize State tax- exempt bonds, the local jurisdiction, in this case the City of Santa Clara, is required by State law to conduct a public hearing. The applicant (Allied Housing, Inc) is proposing to build an 80-unit multifamily rental housing project for low-income senior households and has applied to the State for tax-exempt bonds to help finance their project. The City is conducting this public hearing as a result of their application to the State.
Allied Housing, Inc., a California nonprofit corporation (the “Sponsor”), on behalf of Allied 3335 Kifer, L.P., a California limited partnership, or another entity (such limited partnership or other entity, the “Borrower”) to be created by the Sponsor or by an affiliate of the Sponsor, has requested that the CMFA issue one or more series of revenue bonds in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $35,000,000, including but not limited to revenue bonds issued as part of a plan to finance the acquisition, construction, improvement and equipping of an 80-unit rental housing facility with supportive services for low-income seniors, including seniors experiencing homelessness (the “Project”), to be owned and operated by the Borrower and located in the City of Santa Clara, California (the “City”), at 3333 Kifer Road.
For all or a portion of the bonds to qualify as tax-exempt bonds, the City of Santa Clara must conduct a public hearing under the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (the “TEFRA Hearing”) to provide the members of the community an opportunity to speak in favor of or against the use of tax-exempt bonds for financing the Project. Public notice must be provided to the members of the community prior to the TEFRA Hearing. Following the close of the TEFRA Hearing, an “applicable elected representative” of the City must provide its approval of the issuance of the bonds for financing the Project.
California Municipal Finance Authority
The CMFA was created on January 1, 2004, pursuant to a joint exercise of powers agreement to promote economic, cultural and community development, through the financing of economic development and charitable activities throughout California. To date, over 300 municipalities, City of Santa Clara Printed on 3/30/2022Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
22-402 Agenda Date: 4/5/2022
including the City of Santa Clara have become members of CMFA.
The CMFA was formed to assist local governments, non-profit organizations and businesses with the issuance of taxable and tax-exempt bonds aimed at improving the standard of living in California. The CMFA’s representatives and its Board of Directors have considerable experience in bond financings.
DISCUSSION
The debts, liabilities and obligations of the CMFA do not constitute debts, liabilities or obligations of the members executing such an agreement. The bonds to be issued by the CMFA for the Project will thus be the sole responsibility of the Borrower, and the City will have no financial, legal, moral obligation, liability or responsibility for the Project or the repayment of the Bonds for the financing of the Project. All financing documents with respect to the issuance of the Bonds will contain clear disclaimers that the Bonds are not obligations of the City or the State of California but are to be paid for solely from funds provided by the Borrower.
The Board of Directors of the California Foundation for Stronger Communities, a California non-profit public benefit corporation (the “Foundation”), acts as the Board of Directors for the CMFA. Through its conduit issuance activities, the CMFA shares a portion of the issuance fees it receives with its member communities and donates a portion of these issuance fees to the Foundation for the support of local charities. With respect to the City of Santa Clara, it is expected that that a portion of the issuance fee attributable to the City will be granted by the CMFA to the General Fund of the City.
Such grant may be used for any lawful purpose of the City. The portion sent to the City is approximately $1500 and intended to be applied to City administrative costs.
The City of Santa Clara is already a member with CMFA there are no costs associated with membership in the CMFA, and the City will in no way become exposed to any financial liability by reason of its membership in the CMFA. Outside of holding the TEFRA hearing and adopting the required resolution, no other participation or activity of the City or the City Council with respect to the issuance of the bonds will be required.
Conducting the TEFRA hearing is a procedural action the City is required to take that will allow implementation of the Project, advancing the City’s goals and objectives related to the production of affordable housing and consistent with the City’s General Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no cost to the City other than administrative staff time and expense.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Finance Department and City Attorney’s Office.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) in that it is a governmental organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on a Resolution to Include New and Updated Connection and Load Development Fees for the Electric Utility in the Municipal Fee Schedule Effective July 1, 2022
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
Connection and load development fees are established by the City Council and included in the Municipal Fee Schedule. These fees are to recover expenses for infrastructure improvements needed to support peak load growth within Silicon Valley Power’s (SVP) distribution and transmission system that serves as the backbone to SVP’s Bulk Electric System (BES). These fees reflect the average costs to connect a customer to the BES. The purpose of these fees is to fund capital expenditures directly related to the addition of infrastructure associated with new load increases.
SVP’s current peak load is about 600 MW and provides nearly 4,110 Gigawatt-hours (GWh) a year to SVP’s customers. Currently, several large development projects have received entitlements with the City of Santa Clara. These projects, once constructed and operating, are anticipated to result in an estimated increase of 618 MW in peak load. There is an additional 114 MW of planned commercial and residential development. In total, this represents an estimated 732 MW of expansion in peak load over the next ten years.
DISCUSSION
On September 28, 2021, City Council accepted SVP’s Three-Year System Growth Plan Strategy (RTC #21-871), that includes capital improvement projects needed to support anticipated system growth and to replace end-of life equipment to assure system reliability. Using this growth plan strategy, an analysis was performed to evaluate the cost per connection point and infrastructure improvements by customer type.
This analysis also identifies capital projects by system category (Table 1) including replacing and upgrading existing infrastructure as well as the addition of new infrastructure to support existing and new load. The total cost of these projects is estimated at $372.7 million. Of the proposed capital projects, approximately 50%, or $185.5 million, of these capital project costs are associated with adding new capacity with the remaining costs associated with upgrades required to support existing infrastructure needs for SVP’s BES. Staff will continue to review this analysis on a regular basis and will bring forward recommended adjustments to the fee schedule, as needed. Table 1 summarizes the projects in the System Growth Plan Strategy including allocation to new development by system impact categories.

Proposed Fee Structure
The proposed Connection and Load Development Fees are calculated based on the FY 2021/22 Residential Connection & Commercial Load Development Fee Analysis (Attachment 1) and includes the following structure which is further defined in Attachment 1.
Connection Fees - Residential
· Overhead Lines - Residential Connection/New Single-Family · Overhead Lines - Residential Connection/New Multiple Units · Underground Lines - Residential Connection/New Single-Family · Underground Lines - Residential Connection/New Multiple Units Load Development Fees - Commercial
· Commercial Facilities <12kV - SVP provides the load transformation from the 12kV system to meet customer voltage requirements.
· Commercial Facilities 12kV - These customers provide their own load transformation directly from SVP’s 12kV system.
· Commercial Facilities Dedicated 12kV - These customers have a dedicated substation built.
These customers enter into a Substation Agreement with the City and the customer pays all construction costs associated with the substation. Once the substation is constructed, SVP owns and operates the power transformation at the 12kV level. · Commercial Facilities Dedicated 60kV - These customers have a dedicated substation built.
These customers enter into a Substation Agreement with the City and the customer pays all construction costs associated with the substation. Once the substation is constructed, SVP owns and operates to the 60kV level prior to the power transformation.
Proposed Fees
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution to include new and updated Connection Fees and Load Development Fees for the Electric Utility in the Municipal Fee Schedule effective July City of Santa Clara Printed on 3/31/2022Page 2 of 4

1, 2022. If adopted, these proposed fees would be included in the Municipal Fee Schedule presented by the Finance Department. Such fees and the corresponding increases are intended to maintain fees at the cost recovery levels necessary to support electric load growth. If adopted, the increase from the current fee to the proposed fee ranges from 32% to 330% (Table 2). Table 2 below outlines new fees and provides a comparison of current and proposed fees. Since two of the fee increases are significant, staff is proposing to phase those fees in over a four-year period referenced in Table 3.

2021-22 Residential Connection and Commercial Load Development Fee Analysis_DH 2 3/21/2022
Introduction
This report provides an analysis of the recommendation for an update to Silicon Valley Power’s (SVP’s) Connection and Load Development Fees. There are two distinct installation methods under residential connection fees (underground and overhead installations). Only u nderground connection fees were studied for this analysis. Overhead connection fees are expected to be reviewed in a future study. The distribution and transmission system serve as the backbone to SVP’s Bulk Electric System (BES) that transforms and delivers power to customers.
Connection and Load Development Fees are intended to recover costs associated with customers connecting to SVP’s distribution and transmission system based on average or typical time and material cost to connect a customer to the BES as well as the impact customers have on SVP’s future expansion costs based on the customer’s estimated peak demand. The purpose of these fees is to prevent existing customers from experiencing increased electric rates due to capital expenditures directly related to the addition of infrastructure associated with new load increases.
Current Residential Connection and Commercial Load Development Fees Two fee groups are used when customers connect to SVP’s BES.
• Residential C onnection Fees are adopted and adjusted annually by an annual cost index identified by the City typically as part of the annual budget process . These fees are charged when connecting to SVP’s distribution system for dwelling units and per unit in mobile home parks defined within Section 18.06.010. The fee is based on the type of connection (overhead or underground) and then the type of residential (single family residential versus multiple residential units). The current fees are listed below:
Residential Connection Fees Effective 07/01/2021
Connection Types Fee Unit
Overhead Lines - New Single Family/Residential $ 1,197.16 Per Lot Overhead Lines - New Multiple Units $ 736.24 Per Unit Underground - New Single Family/Residential $ 1,764.70 Per Lot Underground - New Multiple Units/Residential $ 1,573.68 Per Unit
• For commercial units, a two tier fee was adopted beginning in FY 2018/19. The Commercial Load Development Fee is adjusted annually by an annual cost index identified by the City. This fee is based on the amount of kVA requested from commercial and industrial class customers connecting to SVP’s BES. The Current kVA Fee is listed below:
Commercial Load Development Fees Effective 07/01/2021
kVA Tiers kVA Fee Unit
Tier 1: Up to 4,500 kVA $ 141.63 Per kVA
Tier 2: Greater than 4,500 kVA $ 240.03 Per kVA
Fee Analysis
In order to increase system capacity, several types of capital projects are required including (1) improvements to the existing system such as transformer upgrades and power line upgrades 2021-22 Residential Connection and Commercial Load Development Fee Analysis_DH 3 3/21/2022
(reconductoring), (2) receiving station replacements, and (3) new substations. To determine the costs associated with these improvements, the following were evaluated:
A. Projected Capital Expansions by System Impact Category B. Projected System Growth
C. Average Costs per kVA (System Impact Category)
A. Projected Capital Expansions by System Impact Category Costs associated with new load development and connection expenses include Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) necessary to cover distribution and transmission expenses where assets are built, upgraded or replaced to account for growth over the projected life of the asset. In 2021, SVP completed a three-year growth plan strategy that identifies transmission projects needed to expand/enhance capital infrastructure to meet anticipated growth expected by 2031.
This analysis includes projects planned from 2021 to 2031 based on that growth plan strategy .
These costs are grouped by four system impact categories including:
1. Transmission Projects >=60kV
Transmission Projects >=60kV are designed to increase the available transmission capacity and therefore increase the Load Service Ability (LSA). LSA (measured in Megawatts [MW]) depicts the maximum peak load that SVP ’s system can provide to its customers. SVP’s 2021/2022 Transmission Planning Process (TPP) identified the current LSA at 720MW. The LSA is expected to grow by 370MW for a total of 1,090MW by 2031 after the projects listed in Table 1 are completed. As new development requests are received and evaluated, additional projects may be added and planned projects may be removed within Table 1 based on the customer’s connection point to SVP’s system. These additional projects may be required to serve customers although it may not impact the overall LSA.
In addition to the projects required to increase system capacity, some of the projects identified in the Three -Year Plan are required to replace end of life assets. Therefore, for the projects listed below, a percentage of the cost was allocated to new development based on the additional capacity gained. The amount not applied to new development is recovered from existing customers through customer electric rates or through existing substation agreements.

2. General Substation Projects
Substations transform power by decreasing voltage from the transmission system to a level appropriate to enter SVP’s distribution system. These substation projects have been added to increase the distribution system capacity to allow for new development. Development requests primarily consist of new commercial facilities, mixed use, and residential dwellings. CIP costs include both design, engineering, and construction labor and materials . When all projects are considered, the distribution system capacity is expected to increase by 203.0 MVA with 90.0 MVA to support new development.

3. Distribution: 12kV Projects
12kV projects are improvements in SVP’s primary distribution system. These improvements include 600amp equipment such as cable, splices, switches, elbows, and capacitor banks. Cost estimates include material and labor to install and connect each customer. Current planned improvements consist of 94.15 MVA in new load. This new load will also flow through to the system category of <12kV projects or the low voltage system. The MVA identified is a combination of customer types including commercial, residential, and mixed us e embedded within the New Business Work CIP.

SVP estimated s ystem growth projections are based on projects approved through the City of Santa Clara’s Project Clearance Committee (PCC) and negotiations of special facilities agreements or substation agreements with large customers. Table 5 outlines projected residential growth and Commercial/Industrial growth by category and by kVA that is submitted as part of SVP’s Transmission Planning Process (TPP) with the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) and California Energy Commission (CEC) . This includes projects needed to utilize capacity that is currently available in the system and new growth resulting from projects in the 2021-22 Residential Connection and Commercial Load Development Fee Analysis_DH 6 3/21/2022
capital improvement plans depicted in Tables 1 through 4. Table 5 depicts projected residential growth per dwelling unit or household to result in the estimated growth by customer class. The projected residential kVA is estimated based on average residential peak kVA. Due to variation in size of customer connections, kVA demand for Commercial and Industrial facilities are projected based on the installed service panel rating at the customer’s location, substation agreement, or load ramp provided by the customer to SVP during the annual load forecast process.

Commercial Facilities Customer Dedicated 12kV & 60kV N/A 1.0 370,000 Total 11,936 464,150
C. Average Costs per kVA (System Impact Category)
SVP has identified four categories of projects to support ‘new’ customer load requests including upgrades to existing assets. Each category was assigned a k VA level that serves as a measurement for the additional load expected within the distribution system, subs tation capacity, or LSA increase for transmission projects. Table 6 depicts the average cost per kVA by dividing the assigned CIP costs for new development by the assigned kVA units needed to meet new growth per category. These costs are not embedded in the fees under any existing substation or special facility agreements and all of these costs are expected to be re covered from fees associated with new customer load requests. Where costs of CIP work is included in a customer agreement and anticipated to be recovered from the affected customer directly, that project w as eliminated from this analysis. As such, only costs supporting new development that cannot be recovered through an alternate agreement were included in this analysis and in the recommended fees.

Proposed Fee Structure
Below is a summary of the ‘New’ proposed Residential Connections and Commercial Load Development Fees. This structure incorpor ates both existing fee groups listed above in the Current Residential Connection and Commercial Load Development Fees section:
Residential Connection Fees
2021-22 Residential Connection and Commercial Load Development Fee Analysis_DH 7 3/21/2022
Residential Connection Fees are applied to dwellings including single-family, accessory units, duplexes, groups, multiple family, and mobile homes [apartments, condos, duplexes, single family homes, townhomes, and mobile homes ] as defined within Section 18.06 of the City Code. These fees are intended to recover the typical or average costs of material and labor required by SVP to install and connect to SVP’s system. Residential Connection Fees are broken down between connection type such as overhead or underground and further defined as ‘Residential Connec tion/New Single-Family’ and ‘Residential Connection/New Multiple Units’ described below:
1. Overhead Lines – Residential Connection/New Single-Family (Dwellings include: Single-family): The current and proposed fee uses a “per lot” fee structure. The fee i s calculated based on average number of kVA units required per dwelling then multiplied by the determined cost per kVA.
2. Overhead Lines – Residential Connection/New Multiple Units (Dwellings include: Accessory Unit, Duplex, Groups, Multiple Family Units [Apartments, Condominiums & Townhouses ] and Mobile Home Park): The current and proposed fee uses a “per unit” fee structure and is based on average number of kVA units required per dwelling then multiplied by the determined cost per kVA.
3. Underground – Residential Connection/New Single -Family (Dwellings include: Single-family ): The current and proposed fee uses a “per lot” fee structure and is based on average number of kVA units required per dwelling then multiplied by the determined cost per kVA.
4. Underground – Residential Connection/New Multiple Units (Dwellings include: Accessory Unit, Duplex, Groups, Multiple Family Units [Apartments, Condominiums & Townhouses ] and Mobile Home Park): The current and proposed fee uses a “per unit” fee structure and is based on average number of kVA units required per dwelling then multiplied by the determined cost per kVA.
Commercial Load Development Fees
Commercial Load Development Fees are applied to commercial and industrial customers. The fees are calculated based on a predetermined amount of kVA requested within certain levels further defined in the following section titled Collection of Fees. These fees are categorized into four different groups that allow for the system average costs within Table 7 to be apportioned according to the type of commercial facility:
1. Commercial Facilities <12kV – For commercial facilities <12kV, the customer takes service at the secondary level and SVP provides the load transformation from the 12kV system to meet customer voltage requirements. The proposed fee is based on the demand established on the installed service panel rating at the customer’s location. The customer’s f ee is determined by taking the calculated kVA value from the customer’s service panel and multiplying it by the determined cost per kVA specified in Table 7.
2. Commercial Facilities 12kV – For commercial facilities 12KV, the customer takes service at the primary level and provides their own load transformation directly from the 12kV system. The proposed fee is based on the demand established on the installed service panel rating at the customer’s location. The customer’s f ee is determined by taking the calculated kVA value and multiplying it by the determined cost per kVA specified in Table 7.
3. Commercial Facilities Dedicated 12kV – Commercial Facilities Dedicated 12kV customers have a dedicated substation built to service the customer’s facility. The customer executes a Substation agreement with the City and pays all costs of substation construction includin g design and engineering. Once the substation is constructed, SVP owns and operates the power transformation at the 12kV level. This fee would also be applied to Dedicated 12kV customers who need to purchase interim power needed prior to the execution of a Substation Agreement and construction.
The proposed fee is based on the number of kVA established within an executed special facilities agreement or substation agreement between the City and the customer. Each special facilities 2021-22 Residential Connection and Commercial Load Development Fee Analysis_DH 8 3/21/2022
agreement or substation agreement includes a representation of how the customer plans to consume capacity from the system including timing for increases in peak load. The customer’s f ee is determined by taking the calculated kVA value and multiplying it by the determined cost per kVA as specified in Table 7.
4. Commercial Facilities Dedicated 60kV – Commercial Facilities Dedicated 60kV customers have a dedicated substation built to service the customer’s facility. The customer executes a Substation agreement with the City and pays all costs of substation construction including design and engineering. Once the substation is constructed, SVP owns and operates the system to the 60kV level prior to the power transformation. This fee would also be applied to Dedicated 60kV customers who need to purchase interim power needed prior to the execution of a Substation Agreement and construction. Each special facilities agreement or substation agreement includes a representation of how new customers plan to consume capacity from the system including timing for increases in peak load. The customer’s f ee is determined by taking the calculated kVA value and multiplying it by the determined cost per kVA specified in Table 7.
Proposed Fees
Table 7 summarizes all proposed new and updated fees by category. Fees are based on the amounts and calculations described in Table 6 - System Category Average Costs per kVA . This method of calculating the Residential Connection Fee and Load Development Fee allows for an average cost to be applied to residential connection and commercial load development fees based on the costs of the necessary capital infrastructure improvements needed to support increased customer load. System category average costs per kVA from Table 6 were layered in Table 7 below based on the overall system impact. For example, residential fees do not include transmission costs as they have a minimal impact on the overall system. The transmission system has existing capacity that can accommodate ‘New’ Commercial load at or below 12kV and residential customers. The transmission system is primarily impacted by large customers.

the fee, at which time all interested persons were given an opportunity to give testimony and present evidence, both in support of and in opposition to the proposed fee.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF SANTA CLARA AS FOLLOWS:
1. That the City Council hereby finds that the above Recitals are true and correct and by this reference makes them a part hereof.
2. Adoption of Fees, Rates and Charges. The fees, rates, and charges (hereinafter collectively, "fees") contained in the document entitled "PROPOSED NEW AND UPDATED
CONNECTION AND LOAD DEVELOPMENT FEES FOR ELECTRIC UTILITY EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2022" are hereby adopted and are to be incorporated in the "CITY OF SANTA CLARA 2022/23 MUNICIPAL FEE SCHEDULE." The fees so charged do not exceed the estimated reasonable costs of providing the services for which the fees are imposed and are fair and equitable in nature. The fee schedule also indicates how each fee is not a tax by referencing all applicable exceptions to Cal. Constitution, Article XIIIC that apply. Generally, the following types of charges are not taxes: (1) A charge imposed for a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of conferring the benefit or granting the privilege; (2) A charge imposed for a specific government service or product provided directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service or product; (3) A charge imposed for the reasonable regulatory costs to a local government for issuing licenses and permits, performing investigations, inspections, and audits, enforcing agricultural marketing orders, and the administrative enforcement and adjudication thereof; (4) A charge imposed for entrance to or use of local government property, or the purchase, rental, or lease of local government property; (5) A fine, penalty, or other monetary charge imposed by the judicial branch of government or a local government, as a result of a violation of law; (6) A charge imposed as a condition of Resolution/New & Updated Connection & Load Development Fees for SVP Effective July 1, 2022 Page 3 of 4 Rev: 11/22/17

3. The adoption of the fee is based upon the following findings:
A. As required by Government Code Section 66001(a)(1), the Study proposed updating and expanding the Connection and Load Development Fees to recover costs associated with customers connecting to SVP’s distribution and transmission system; B. As required by Government Code Section 66001(a)(2), the Study identifie d specific projects for which the Fee will be used, based on the type of land use and anticipated electricity usage;
C. As required by Government Code Section 66001(a)(3), the Study identified a reasonable relationship between the Fee’s use and development projects on which the Fee will be imposed, because the Fee will be used for capital improvement projects necessary to cover distribution and transmission expenses to accommodate the anticipated growth; D. As required by Government Code Section 66001(a)( 4), the Study identified a reasonable relationship between the need for the ident ified improvements and the development projects on which the Fee will be imposed, because such development projects will generate electricity demand that the existing system is not able to accommodate without additional expansion; and
E. As required by Government Code Section 66001(b), the Study demonstrated how there is a reasonable relationship between th e amount of the fee and the cost of the public facility or portion of the public facility attributable to the developments on which the fee is imposed.
4. Load Development Tier 1 and Tier 2. Load Development Tier 1 and Tier 2 fees are only used when referenced in an executed substation agreement and will be phased out.
5. Effect of Fees Prior to effective Date of Resolution. This Resolution shall not be construed so as to affect any fee or charge payable or paid under any applicable fee schedule Resolution/New & Updated Connection & Load Development Fees for SVP Effective July 1, 2022 Page 4 of 4 Rev: 11/22/17

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on Written Petition Regarding Responsibility of a Sound Wall Adjacent to Pruneridge Avenue in the Laurel Park East Neighborhood
COUNCIL PILLAR
Enhance Community Engagement and Transparency
BACKGROUND
On October 25 and November 8, 2021, a resident of the Laurel Park East neighborhood (Neighborhood) at Tract 5766 sent letters to the City with a request that the City repair and maintain an existing sound wall bordering the Neighborhood along Pruneridge Avenue. The City reviewed these letters and provided a response on November 15, 2021 that maintenance of the sound wall is the responsibility of the adjacent property owner(s).
The City Clerk’s Office also received a Written Petition (Attachment 1) on November 15, 2021, requesting to place an agenda item on a future council meeting to consider the City taking on maintenance responsibilities of this sound wall per Council Policy 030 - Adding an Item on the Agenda. The Written Petition was discussed at the December 7, 2021 City Council meeting as Agenda Item 1A (RTC #21-1628) and Council approved a motion to place the discussion of the sound wall on the agenda of a future meeting.
DISCUSSION
In the late 1970’s, the City approved a 131 single-family residential development, also known as Tract 5766 Laurel Park East, on 26.8 acres at the southwest corner of Pruneridge Avenue and San Tomas Expressway. As a part of the development, a 6-foot masonry sound wall was included and constructed along Pruneridge Avenue.
On March 30, 1976, the developer for the project and the City entered into a Property Development Agreement for Tract 5766 (Attachment 2). On page 8 of the Property Development Agreement, Special Provision No. 2 states that “Developer shall construct a masonry noise abatement wall… along the Pruneridge Avenue frontage… The masonry noise abatement wall shall be located adjacent to and on the private ownership side of the property line. Maintenance of the masonry noise abatement wall shall be the responsibility of the property owner(s) upon whose property the wall is located.”
Furthermore, the document states “this responsibility shall be disclosed to the property owner(s) by inclusion of the following paragraph in the Declaration of Restriction for Tract No. 5766:
‘Noise Abatement Wall. Upon said lots 47, 48 and 50 through 70 inclusive of lot 1 there has City of Santa Clara Printed on 3/31/2022Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
22-109 Agenda Date: 4/5/2022
been constructed a masonry noise abatement wall in lieu of a fence along the rear property line or side property line of said lot 1. The maintenance of said masonry wall shall be the sole responsibility of each property owner upon whose property said wall is located. Said property owner shall bear all costs and expense for the maintenance, repair and/or replacement of that portion of said wall that is located on such property owner’s lot.’” The City also reviewed the public street record drawings for the Neighborhood which indicate that the wall along Pruneridge Avenue is within private property while the wall along San Tomas Expressway is within the County of Santa Clara right-of-way. The City coordinated with the County and confirmed that the County is responsible for the maintenance of the portion of wall within County right-of-way.
The County also confirmed that the County does not maintain any portion of the wall that is outside of County right-of-way.
Based on this information, the City confirmed that the existing masonry sound wall on the southside of Pruneridge Avenue (east of San Tomas Expressway) is on private property and is the maintenance responsibility of the adjacent property owners of Tract 5766 (Laurel Park East). This information, including a copy of the 1976 Property Development Agreement was provided as a response to the October 25 and November 8, 2021 letters.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project" within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) in that it is an administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report other than administrative staff time. If Council decides that the City should take over responsibility of the private wall from the property owners, then additional money and staff time will be required which will be dependent on Council’s specific direction.
COORDINATION
This report was coordinated between the City Attorney’s Office and the City Manager’s Office.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Public contact was made by posting the Council agenda on the City’s official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall Council Chambers. A complete agenda packet is available on the City’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office at least 72 hours prior to a Regular Meeting and 24 hours prior to a Special Meeting. A hard copy of any agenda report may be requested by contacting the City Clerk’s Office at (408) 615-2220, email [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Close the petition and take no further action which upholds the terms of the Property Development Agreement for Tract 5766 requiring the property owners to bear all costs and expense for the maintenance, repair and/or replacement of the portion of the sound wall that is located on private property.
2. Provide other direction to City staff related to the maintenance and repair of the existing sound wall on private property.

Subject: Dangerous Concrete Municipal Sound Wall (2500-2700 Pruneridge Avenue) Dear Council member Becker,
The Santa Clara Residents backing Prune ridge Avenue in the "Laurel Park East" development on Gamblin Drive need your assistance to navigate the City's policies regarding a dilapidated and dangerous concrete Sound Wall bordering our neighborhood. In the past three years, without external causes, several 16-foot sections of the concrete sound wall have fallen "out of the blue" and crashed to the ground. Each one of these 16-foot sections weighs ~2.4 tons and there are over 800 linear feet of this precariously oriented sound wall along Pruneridge Avenue backing our properties (see photos attached).
At this point, the City's Engineering Office has initially determined that the sound wall was built outside the developer dedicated right-of-way, and therefore the sound wall is the responsibility of the individual property owners. The City's Engineering Office has taken this position without any historical knowledge of the original 1976 Sub-division Developer/City of Santa Clara Agreement which would have defined the municipal sound wall maintenance and responsibility.
Based on the following, the Gamblin Drive property owners backing Pruneridge Avenue disagree with the City's current interpretation of responsibility and request that the City take action to reassess this determination and then remedy this dangerous situation. • Precedent -The County of Santa Clara, on two separate occasions, has removed and repaired fallen or damaged sections of the connecting Precast Concrete Sound Wall (on Pruneridge Avenue); without assigning responsibility to the property owner. • Precedent-The City of Santa Clara removed and disposed of a 16-foot section of the sound wall after it had fallen and replaced it with temporary fencing. • Ongoing Maintenance Responsibility - The City of Santa Clara maintains the developer dedicated Pruneridge Avenue right-of-way landscaping, watering infrastructure, and re-paints the concrete sound wall to coverup graffiti.
• Municipal Sound Wall vs. Residential Fence - The Pruneridge Avenue Precast Concrete Sound Wall is seemingly part of the Pruneridge Avenue Municipal Roadway Infrastructure. The City of Santa Clara Planning Dept. approved the design and installation of an industrial precast concrete sound wall; impacted property owners would not have ability to replace or repair these types of structures. Also, the concrete panels have been installed without regard to the abutting property lines; meaning the individual 16-foot sections share adjacent property boundaries.
Myself and the following list of Laurel Park East residents whose properties abut the Pruneridge Avenue concrete sound wall seek assistance from the City of Santa Clara to resolve this problem. Your valued representation and involvement in addressing this matter is greatly appreciated.

Subject: Unstable Concrete Sound Wall (2500-2700 Pruneridge Avenue} Dear Councilmember Becker,
Thank you for getting involved and advocating for a solution with the unstable sound wall bordering our neighborhood. Unfortunately, the response from City Staff regarding the maintenance and responsibility of the sound wall was a duplication of previous communications and fails to address relevant precedent established by both the City of Santa Clara and the County of Santa Clara.
Please allow me to reiterate these points in an attempt to get the City committed to remedy this situation before more sections of the sound wall fall and potentially injure someone.
1. The County of Santa Clara removed and replaced four sections of the concrete sound wall on Pruneridge Avenue (not San Tomas Expressway) that had fallen over or were deemed unstable.
This portion of the replaced sound wait was on residential property, lots 59 & 60 and not in a dedicated easement. The County of Santa Clara did this without assigning responsibility to the property owner.
2. For the Laurel Park East Development in 1976, the City of Santa Clara approved the original design and installation of an industrial pre-cast concrete sound wal! boarding the neighborhood.
Even though this sound wall is located on residential property this type of infrastructure is clearly part of the Pruneridge Avenue municipal roadway and cannot be considered a residential fence that home owners could maintain by themselves. Additionally, the City of Santa Clara removed a fallen section of the wait, installing a temporary fence and the City also regularly paints the wall to remove graffiti.
Mr. Becker, we need your help to elevate a discussion above City Staff to remedy this dangerous situation. Is it possible to make this an Agenda Item for a future Council Meeting to move the discussion forward? Your valued representation and involvement in addressing this matter is greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
