RESOLUTION NO.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTEE, CALIFORNIA,

AUTHORIZING THE EXPENDITURE OF FUNDS FOR EMERGENCY REPAIR OF FIRE ENGINE 4 (V178)
WHEREAS, Engine 4 (V178) has had significant oil leaks and an intermittent fuel gauge and was sent to Velocity Truck Centers (Velocity) for diagnostics. Velocity found oil leaks that will require removal of the cylinder heads, transmission, and air compressor replacement; and
WHEREAS, the Santee Lead Mechanic concurs with the diagnosis and repair recommendation; and
WHEREAS, Santee Municipal Code Section 3.24.140 authorizes the City Manager to approve immediate procurement of supplies or services when the estimated cost does not exceed $75,000, when it is essential to prevent delays in work which may negatively affect the life, health, safety or convenience of the public. Such purchases are subject to subsequent City Council ratification; and
WHEREAS, the V178 cost estimate is $17,293.74 and the Finance Department has authorized this emergency repair; and
WHEREAS, Fire Engine 205 (V157) required emergency repairs approved on September 25, 2024, totaling $49,150.39; and
WHEREAS, the cumulative cost of the earlier V157 repair and the current V178 repair in the same fiscal year by the same vendor exceeds $50,000.00 and therefore requires City Council approval.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Santee, California, that the City Council hereby:

1. Authorizes the expenditure of funds for the final cost of repair of V178 in an amount not to exceed $17,273.74 from the Fleet Maintenance Vehicle Repair and Maintenance Account.

ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Santee, California, at a Regular Meeting thereof held this 26th day of March 2025, by the following roll call vote, to wit:

STAFF REPORT

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTEE, CALIFORNIA,

AUTHORIZING SUBMISSION OF THE GENERAL PLAN AND HOUSING ELEMENT ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2024 TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA’S OFFICE OF LAND USE AND CLIMATE INNOVATION AND

DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND FINDING

THE ACTION IS NOT A PROJECT AND THEREFORE NOT SUBJECT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 26, 2025
A. BACKGROUND
The attached Annual Progress Reports (APR) on General Plan and Housing Element Implementation for Calendar Year 2024 were prepared pursuant to California Government Code Section 65400 and the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) Regulations. State law requires that a report be provided annually to the City Council, State of California Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI), formerly known as the Office of Planning and Research, and HCD on the status of the General Plan and Housing Element, progress in its implementation, progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs, and local efforts to remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing. The report will be used by LCI and HCD to assist State-level decision making and to ensure that the City of Santee (City)’s certified Housing Element remains compliant with State Housing law.

Housing is considered affordable if no more than 30% of a household’s income is spent on housing. To track housing affordability, HCD breaks household incomes into six levels based on County Area Median Income (AMI).

Acutely Low Income Earn 15% or less of the AMI
Extremely Low Income Earn between 15% - 30% of the AMI
Very Low Income Earn between 30% - 50% of the AMI
Lower Income Earn between 50% - 80% of the AMI
*Lower Income may also be used to mean 0% to 80% of AMI Moderate Income Earn between 80% - 120% of the AMI
Above Moderate Income Earn over 120% of the AMI
The AMI for a four-person household in San Diego County in 2024 was $151,500.

The Housing Element APR includes detailed information on new residential units based on entitlement status, building permits issued, and building permits finalized. The City’s progress in meeting its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) is based on building permits issued. The City must also report the affordability of all residential units entitled, permitted, and finalized. Based on the City’s certified Housing Element and recently certified Housing Elements from other jurisdictions in San Diego County, where HCD allowed rental multifamily housing units, including accessory dwelling units (ADUs), to count as moderate-income housing toward the jurisdiction’s respective RHNA, the City is General Plan and Housing Element APR 2024

GENERAL PLAN
23 | Page

INTRODUCTION
California state law requires each city and county to adopt a general plan “for the physical development of the county or city, and any land outside its boundaries which in the planning agency’s judgment bears relation to its planning” (Gov. Code § 65300). The general plan expresses the community’s development goals and embodies public policy relative to the distribution of future land uses, both public and private. The California Supreme Court has described general plans as the “charter to which [zoning] ordinance[s] must conform”, but the general plan extends far beyond zoning and land use (Lesher Communications, Inc. v. City of Walnut Creek (1990) 52 Cal.3d 531, 540).

The purpose of a general plan is to guide land use planning decisions. Under state law, subdivisions, capital improvements, development agreements, and many other land use actions must be consistent with the adopted general plan. In counties and general law cities, zoning and specific plans are also required to conform to the general plan. In addition, preparing, adopting, implementing, and maintaining the general plan serves to identify the community’s land use, circulation, environmental, economic, and social goals and policies as they relate to future growth and development. Studies show that land use decisions affect transportation, electricity, and water demand. Each planning decision affects multiple objectives beyond the immediate outcomes. General plans benefit local communities by promoting better projects, streamlined processes, integrated planning, and improved access and use of available resources.

REQUIRED ELEMENTS
In statute, the general plan is presented as a collection of “elements,” or topic categories (Gov. Code §65302). These elements are briefly summarized below.

Land Use: designates the type, intensity, and general distribution of uses of land for housing, business, industry, open space, education, public buildings and grounds, waste disposal facilities, and other categories of public and private uses.

Circulation: correlates with the land use element and identifies the general location and extent of existing and proposed major thoroughfares, transportation routes, terminals, and other local public utilities and facilities.

Housing: assesses current and projected housing needs for all economic segments of the community. In addition, the housing element embodies policies for providing adequate housing and includes action programs for that purpose. By statute, the housing element must be updated every eight years according to a schedule set by the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

Conservation: addresses the conservation, development, and use of natural resources, including water, forests, soils, rivers, and mineral deposits.

Open Space: details plans and measures for the long–range preservation and conservation of open–space lands, including open space for the preservation of natural resources, the managed production of resources, agriculture, outdoor recreation, and public health and safety.

Noise: identifies and appraises noise problems within the community and forms the basis for 24 | Page
land use distribution determinations.

Safety: establishes policies and programs to protect the community from risks associated with seismic, geologic, flood, and wildfire hazards, as well as from other concerns such as drought.

Environmental Justice: Identifies disadvantaged communities within the City and establishes objectives and policies to reduce the unique health risks in those communities, promote civic engagement in the public decision-making process and prioritize improvements and programs that address the needs of the disadvantaged communities.

Air Quality: Air quality considerations are required for cities and counties who are required to include an environmental justice element in their general plans and are optional elements in other areas of the state.

Other optional elements: a general plan may also include other topics of local interest. In addition to the mandatory elements, a city or county may adopt any other elements that relate to its physical development (Gov. Code § 65303).

The City of Santee has adopted the following General Plan Elements:
• Land Use Element
• Housing Element
• Mobility Element
• Recreation Element
• Trails Element
• Conservation Element
• Noise Element
• Safety Element (actively being updated)
• Community Enhancement Element
• Environmental Justice Element (being prepared as part of Safety Element Update)

Objective 3.0 Provide and maintain the highest level of service possible for all community public services and facilities.
• Policy 3.1 The City should ensure that land divisions and developments are approved within the City only when a project's improvements, dedications, fees and other revenues to the City and other agencies fully cover the project's incremental costs to the City and other agencies. These costs are for providing new or upgraded capital improvements and other public facilities and equipment resulting from, and attributable to the project, which are necessary to protect and promote the public's health, safety and welfare and to implement feasible mitigation measures. Such facilities include, but are not limited to: parks, bridges, major roads, traffic signals, street lights, drainage systems, sewers, water, flood control, fire, police, schools, hiking/bicycle trails and other related facilities. In calculating benefits of land divisions and developments, the City may consider other public objectives and goals including social, economic (job creation, secondary economic benefits, etc) and environmental factors. 26 | Page

Objective 12.0 Maintain the Integrity and Consistency of the General Plan. • Policy 12.1 Permitted land uses in the City shall be intensified only when the voters approve such changes. No General Plan amendment, Planned Development Area or new Specific Planning Area shall be adopted which would:
o 1) increase the residential density permitted by law, o 2) change, alter, or increase the General Plan Residential Land Use categories if the change intensifies use; or
o 3) change any residential designation to commercial or industrial designation on any property, or vice versa, if the change intensifies use; unless and until such action is approved and adopted by the voters of the City at a special or general election, or approved first by the City Council and then adopted by the voters in such an election.
• Policy 12.2 No change to the slope criteria and minimum parcel sizes and lot averaging provisions of this General Plan which would permit increased density or intensity of use shall be adopted unless and until such change is approved by ordinance adopted by the voters of the City at a special or general election, or approved first by the City Council and then adopted by the voters in such an election. • Policy 12.3 The City Council shall set any election required by this Objective to the next available general municipal election at no cost to the proponent of the land use change, or set a special election, the cost of which shall be borne by the proponent. • Policy 12.4 The voter approval requirement of subsection (a) shall not apply where the General Plan amendment is necessary to comply with state or federal law governing the provision of housing, including, but not limited to affordable housing requirements.

This exception applies only if the City Council first makes each of the following findings based on substantial evidence in the record:
o 1) a specific provision of state or federal law requires the City to accommodate the housing that will be permitted by the amendment;
o 2) the amendment permits no greater density than that necessary to accommodate the required housing; and
o 3) an alternative site that is not subject to the voter approval requirement in this Policy is not available to satisfy the specific state or federal housing law.

Name of Program Objective Timeframe in H.E Status of Program Implementation Program 1: Mobile Home
Assistance Program and
Conversion Regulations
Circulate flyers to existing mobile home park renters periodically. Cosponsor Mobile Home Park Assistance Program (MPAP) applications as opportunity arises. Provide information at mobilehome parks on tenant protection services such as rent stabilization and eviction protection.

Consider in 2022 utilizing SB2 Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funding to provide rent subsidies to low income mobile home park tenants.

Annual flyer circulation and monitoring
and annual monitoring and reporting
throughout the planning period.

Ongoing implementation; In 2024 the City considered using Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds, administered by the State, to provide acessibility improvements and modifications to low-income, owne-occupied housing including mobile homes. It's anticipated that PLHA funds will be dispersed by the State to local jurisdictions in 2025. A new flyer was created in 2023 and made available on the City website and at City Hall identifying fair housing rights and resources to help renters.The City will co-sponsor MPAP applications as opportunity arise. Additonal outreach and information regarding tenant protections within mobile home parks are provided by the fair housing services provider. In 2022, the City considered utilizing SB2 PLHA funding to provide rent subsidies to low income mobile home park tenants but did not proceed with the effort.

Program 2: Maintenance
and Improvement of
Existing Housing
Ensure that Code Compliance addresses and resolves issues with severely substandard and/or dilapidated housing and that residents are aware of home maintenance standards and programs. In 2022, develop tenant protection policies to mitigate displacement impacts on tenants of substandard housing.

Annual monitoring and reporting
throughout the planning period.

Ongoing implementation; Code Compliance, in coordination with the City Attorney and Building Division, address and resolve issues related to complaints about substandard and/or dilapidated housing. When needed, the City has taken steps to ensure that housing is properly maintained including making repairs and seeking reimbursement through receiverships. In 2024, the City considered using the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds for improvements and modifications for low-income housing. Once the City receives their allocation from the state in fiscal year 2025/26, a portion of the funding will be allocated for accessibility modifications in lower-income, owner-occupied housing. Additionally, in 2024, outreach and information regarding tenant protections tied to updating of substandard/dilapidated housing was provided by CSA, the City's fair housing services provider.

Program 3: Conservation
of Existing and Future
Affordable Units
Monitor the status of the 222 at-risk units at Cedar Creek Apartments, Forester Square Apartments, and Laurel Park Senior Apartments. The City of Santee will work with property owners, interest groups and the State and federal governments to implement the following programs on an ongoing basis to conserve its affordable housing stock: Monitor Units at Risk, Work with Potential Purchasers, Tenant Education, and Assist Tenants of Existing Rent Restricted Units to Obtain Section 8 Voucher Assistance.

days of notice of intent to convert at-risk
units to market rate rents, the City will
work with potential purchasers using
HCD's current list of Qualified Entities ,
educate tenants of their rights, and assist
tenants to obtain rental assistance in
accordance with this program.

The City has not received any notices of intent to convert during 2024.

Program 4: Housing
Choice Voucher Program
Continue to contract with the San Diego County Housing Authority to administer the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program.

Ongoing implementation and annual
monitoring throughout the planning
period.

Santee is among 12 cities served by the Housing Authority of the County of San Diego. The County has developed a Consortium Consolidated Plan which contains a comprehensive affordable housing strategy that covers the City of Santee. According to the County Housing Authority, as of December 31, 2024, 352 households were using a Housing Choice Voucher to help pay for rent in the City of Santee and 1,566 applications submitted by Santee residents were recorded on a waiting list.

Program 5: Homebuyer
Assistance Programs
Assist Santee first time homebuyers with down payment and closing costs assistance.

Ongoing with the goal of assisting 16
homebuyers during the planning period.

The City of Santee participates in HOME funding through a consortium comprised of the County of San Diego and the Cities of Encinitas, Carlsbad, La Mesa, San Marcos and Vista to administer Federal HOME funds. The County of San Diego acts as the administrator of the consortium. Low income persons seeking down payment and closing cost assistance for the purchase of a home in Santee may submit an application to the County of San Diego Department of Housing and Community Development for underwriting and loan origination.

During CY 2024, one loan for the purchase of a Santee home was completed. The low number of first-time homebuyers may be due to higher home prices combined with high interest rates. At higher home prices, low-income buyers have difficutly staying below the 38% maximum housing debt ratio.

Program 6: Manufactured
Home Fair Practices
Program
The City regulates approximately 1,200 short-term space leases in mobile home parks and provides staff support to the Manufactured Fair Practices Commission, which holds biannual meetings. The program requires significant financial resources in administration and legal defense of the Ordinance. Through the City Attorney's office, the City has defended or initiated many lawsuits to uphold the requirements of the Manufactured Home Rent Stabilization Program since 1998
Ongoing.

To date, all of the City's efforts to maintain the rent control system have been successful. The City will continue to attend the biannual Manufactured Fair Practices Commission and promote its services to residents. No parks were at risk of converting in CY2024. Also, with the passage of Assembly Bill 2782 in 2020 long-term lease exemption for local rent control ordinances will be in effect as of January 1, 2025. In 2024, the City began preparing for the increase in the number of spaces the City will regulate in 2025. In an effort to implement these changes, the City sent multiple notices to the mobile home park owners in 2024 to inform park owners of the non-exempt status change for long-term leases.

Program 7: Facilitate
Affordable Housing
Development
Collaborate with nonprofits to provide additional affordable housing opportunities. Provide ongoing participation and assistance to interested affordable housing developers.

Update list and contact affordable housing
developers annually. Provide ongoing
participation and assistance to interested
affordable housing developers. Annual
monitoring and reporting throughout the
planning period.

During CY2024 the City engaged with 4 affordable housing developers for potential development on sites identified for low-income residential development in the Housing Element Sites Inventory.

Program 8: Supportive
Services
Assist 1,800 persons with temporary shelter and supportive services during the planning period (300 meals for lower income seniors, and temporary shelter, food, and clothing for 1,500 lower income individuals and families affected by domestic violence).

Annually review and allocate funds to
service provider through the HUD Annual
Plan process.

Through the City’s contract with Crisis House to provide a homeless prevention and intervention program, 227 persons were assisted in 2024. Additionally, Crisis House provided permanent and emergency housing to 237 households.

Program 9: Inventory of
Available Sites and
Monitoring No Net Loss
To ensure that the City monitors its compliance with SB 166 (No Net Loss), the City will monitor the consumption of residential acreage to ensure an adequate inventory is available to meet the City’s RHNA obligations.

Rezone identified parcels within one year
of the Housing Element Adoption;
Continue to implement a formal evaluation
procedure pursuant to Government Code
Section 65863 to monitor the development
of vacant and nonvacant sites in the sites
inventory and ensure that adequate sites
are available to meet the remaining RHNA
by income category; Ongoing
implementation and annual monitoring
and reporting throughout the planning
period.

The new zoning classifications for the rezone sites became effective on November 26, 2022.Through 2024, City continued implementation of no net loss monitoring.

Exhibit B
Program 10: By-Right
Approval of Projects with
20 Percent Affordable
Units on "Reuse" Sites
Pursuant to AB 1397 passed in 2017, the City will amend the Zoning Ordinance to provide by-right approval of housing development in which the project proponent voluntarily includes 20 percent of the units as housing affordable to lower income households, on sites being used to meet the Sixth Cycle RHNA that represent "reuse sites" from previous Housing Element cycles, as well as the rezoned sites required for the 492- unit shortfall in lower income RHNA.

Update the Zoning Ordinance within one
year of Housing Element adoption.

On October 12, 2022 the City adopted Objective Design Standards and certified a Program Environmental Impact Report with Project-Level Analysis for potential by-right sites. The ministerial procedure for processing qualifying by-right housing projects and corresponding objective design standards are located in Chaper 13.11 of the Santee Municipal Code
Program 11: Replacement
Housing
The City will amend the Zoning Code to require the replacement of units affordable to the same or lower income level as a condition of any development on a non-vacant site consistent with those requirements set forth in State Density Bonus Law.

Update the Zoning Ordinance within one
year of Housing Element certification by
HCD.

Zoning Ordinance updated and replacement housing provision captured through Chapter 13.26 of the Santee Municipal Code
Program 12: Accessory
Dwelling Units (ADUs)
The City will also explore other options to further encourage the construction of ADUs in the community. Options to explore may include increased outreach and education, technical/resources guides online, preapproved plans, larger unit square footage allowances and reduced setback and lot coverage standards in exchange for deed restrictions, among others.

Ongoing.

The City provides links to conceptual ADU plans on its website along with other resources for permit streamlining. City evaluated potential extension of fee waivers in 2024 but determined not to pursue an extension.

Program 13: Monitor
Changes in Federal and
State Housing, Planning,
and Zoning Laws
Monitor State and federal legislation as well as City development process and zoning regulations to identify and remove housing constraints. Ongoing.

Staff planners and attorneys continually monitor state and federal law to ensure development processes are updated to be streamlined and zoning regulations are aligned with current Stateand Federal law/objectives.

Program 14: Affirmatively
Furthering Fair Housing
