RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City Council will consider receiving and filing a report on the progress of the Salvation Army Bell Shelter Pilot Program.
FISCAL IMPACT: No funding impact. This program was funded in May 2022 with American Rescue Plan Act funds.
ANALYSIS: TheCityofSouthGateisaparticipantintheregionalContinuumofCare("CoC") system that provides shelter beds for all of Los Angeles County under the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority ("LAHSA") Coordinated Entry System ("County CES"). Without an available bed in the County CES system, unhoused individuals are not able to receive services or shelter.
The CoC system faces a demand level for shelter beds that is not met with the existing inventory, as many cities do not provide shelter beds within their city limits. The Bell Shelter is one of the largest shelters in the nation, and the shelter provides a significant portion of the region's shelter beds.
BACKGROUND: At the May 2, 2022 City Council meeting, the City Council approved a $62,415.50 pilot program with the City of Bell and the Salvation Army Bell Shelter to provide 40 shelter beds between the eight Life Cycle Assessment 1 ("LCAI") cities. Each city is assigned 4 beds while leaving 4 additional beds would be available to all eight cities for emergency and public safety use.

SUBJECT: ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 9 (BUILDINGS), OF THE SOUTH
GATE MUNICIPAL CODE, IN ITS ENTIRETY BY ADOPTING BY REFERENCE THE 2022 EDITION OF THE CALIFORNIA CODES OF REGULATIONS, TITLE 24 AND THE 2021 EDITION OF THE UNIFORM SOLAR, HYDRONICS AND GEOTHERMAL AND THE 2021 EDITION OF SWIMMING POOL, SPA AND HOT TUB CODES
PUBLISHED BY THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF PLUMBING AND
MECHANICAL OFFICIALS
PURPOSE: To adopt new State Building Codes which are mandated for statewide enforcement on January 1, 2023.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City Council will consider, following the conclusion of the public hearing, waiving the reading in :tull and introducing an Ordinance amending Title 9 (Buildings) of the South Gate Municipal Code by adopting by reference the 2022 California Code of Regulations, Title 24 ("2022 Building Standards Code") and the 2021 International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials Codes,
FISCAL IMPACT: It is estimated that the cost for staff training and the purchase of the 2022 California Building Standards Code books for City staff will be $9,000. This amount will be expended from funds included in the FY 2022-2023 Budget (100-602-42-6305 and 100-602-42- 6340).
The new State Building Codes have significant changes from previous editions and will require training of Building and Safety Division staff, design professionals and contractors in coming months. Training on the new codes is currently available through a number of professional associations including the International Code Council (ICC), the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO), the International Association of Electrical Inspectors (IAEI), and the California Building Officials (CALBO).
ANALYSIS: In accordance with state law, the 2022 Edition of the California Building Standards Code was adopted by the State Building Standards Commission and published in the California Code of Regulations, Title 24 ("2022 Building Standards Code").
I
26 State law mandates that California jurisdictions enforce the 2022 Building Standards Code, effective January 1, 2023, for all new building constructions in California. While the California Building Standards Commission adopts building code standards to be used statewide, City Council action to adopt these codes at a local level is also part of the code adoption process. Adoption of these codes by the City allows for the inclusion of administrative provisions and limited amendments to the state codes. State law permits local jurisdictions to make modifications to the state codes that are reasonably necessary because of local conditions provided the City makes express findings that the changes are needed because of climatic, geologic or topographic conditions. The proposed Ordinance contains the adoption of these codes and administrative provisions for the enforcement of the codes. The Ordinance makes findings regarding local geographic, climatic and topographic conditions that make the amendments to the state codes reasonably necessary for building construction in the City.
In accordance with state law, the 2021 Edition of the Uniform Swimming Pool, Spa and Hot Tub Code and the 2021 Edition of the Uniform Solar, Hydronics and Geothermal Code was adopted by the State Building Standards and published by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials.
Administrative provisions ofthe CaliforniaBuilding Standards Codes are adopted and include past amendments carried forward as recommended by the City's Building Official. Such amendments include provisions regarding permits, fees, inspections, completion of residential remodeling and Board of Appeals proceedings. The City has not made any amendments to building, residential, plumbing, electrical and mechanical codes for over ten years. The sections numerical order for the proposed ordinance have changed to match the format of the 2022 California Code of Regulations; the context has not changed. A Summary of existing amendments carried forward are provided as Attachment B.
BACKGROUND: The state's Building Standard Codes have been subject to a series of major transformation since the 2001 International Code Council (ICC) model codes were introduced.
The new 2022 Building Standards Code utilizes the most up to date code documents which have been developed through a national code development process. These construction codes include the California Administrative, Building, Residential, Electrical, Plumbing, Mechanical, Energy, Historical Building, Existing Building, Reference Standards and Green Building Standards as well as other related codes.
Adoption of the proposed Ordinance incorporates the 2022 Building Standards Codes and the 2021 International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) codes which will keep the City's building regulations consistent with those of the State. They provide minimum standards to safeguard life or limb, health, property and public welfare. The proposed Ordinance is necessary to keep us in compliance with State regulations while allowing the City to properly address special local conditions.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: Environmental review is not required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonable foreseeable indirect physical 2 27
change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378), Title 14, California Code of Regulations, because adoption of the proposed Ordinances has no potential for resulting in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS: A public hearing notice was published in South Gate Press on October 17, 2022. Irformation regarding the adoption of the 2022 California Building Code and the local training opportunities are available at the Community Development/Building and Safety Division website.
The new 2022 California Code of Regulations, Title 24 is available for review at California Building Standards Commission website: www.dgs.ca.gov/BSC/Codes. Bilingual public information is cunently posted in the Department of Community Development containing important information regarding this upcoming change to construction codes used in the State of California and their effective date. Requests to review the 2022 Edition of the California Code of Regulations are available through the City Clerk's Office.

SECTION 14. The modifications set forth in this ordinance which pertain to the California Administrative Code, California Building Code, the California Residential Code, the California Plumbing Code, and the California Electrical Code, are reasonably required due to local climatic, geographical and topographical conditions, and due to the need, in certain instances, to recover the actual costs and expenses incurred by the City in processing various applications for permits which are required by such technical codes. Modifications to those technical codes are reasonably required, in part, because of the local climate which is characterized by hot, dry summers, followed by strong Santa Aria winds and heavy winter rains which make buildings and structures vulnerable to rapidly spreading wind-driven fires. Furthermore, the City is located near to historic and active earthquake faults which require special safety measures and precautions.
SECTION 15. The adoption of this Ordinance shall fulfill the City of South Gate's obligation under Section 17958 of the Health and Safety Code to adopt and apply the provisions of the California Building Standards Code to all occupancies within the City.
SECTION 16. This Ordinance shall take effect on the thirty-first (31s') day after its adoption and be enforced on January 1, 2023.

Item No. 4
AGENDA B'J[LL
For the Regular Meeting of: November 10, 2022
Ori a a Department: CommunityDevelopment
Department Director: City Manager.'
Meredit T. Elguira Jeffers
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING
OF THE IN-LIEU FEE AS PER CHAPTER
DIVISION II (ZONING REGULATIONS) OF
GATE MUNICIP AL CODE
THE AMOUNTS AND CALCULATION
11.29 (INCLUSIONARY HOUSING) OF
TITLE 11 (ZONING) OF THE SOUTH
PURPOSE: A public hearing to consider a Resolution adopting and establishing the amounts and calculations of the fee in-lieu of developing inclusionary units under the City of South Gate ("City") Inclusionary Housing Ordinance.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City Council will consider adopting a Resolution establishing the inclusionary housing in lieu fee as provided under Chapter 11.29 (Inclusionary Housing), of Division II (Zoning Regulations), of Title 11 (Zoning), of the South Gate Municipal Code.
FISCAL IMPACT: If adopted, the proposed Resolution would establish an affordable housing in-lieu fee of $25 per square foot to be adjusted annually and automatically based on the Consumer Price.,Index increase. The payment of the proposed housing in-lieu fee to the City would be deposited into an affordable housing trust fund to be established by the City.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION: Advertising and notification of the public hearing for this item was conducted in compliance with Chapter 11.50, Title 11, of the South Gate Municipal Code. Notice of the hearing was originally posted and published in the "The Wave" on October 27, 2022 (Attachment B).
ANALYSIS: The City's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, Chapter 11.29 of the City of South Gate Municipal Code ("Inclusionary Housing Ordinance") permits the payment of in-lieu fees as an alternative means of compliance for on-site fulfillment and provides that the City Council will establish, by resolution, the in-lieu fee amount and calculation.
Staff and the City's affordable housing consultant, RSG, Inc., recommend an initial in-lieu fee amount of $25 per square foot multiplied by the total square feet of all units in the development I
54 project. This fee amount generally reflects the true cost of producing on-site units. Table l below demonstrates the total fee calculation for single family, townhome, and apartment sample prototype projects.

Seventeen Los Angeles County communities have an inclusionary requirement, many of which have an in-lieu fee option. However, the in-lieu fee amounts vary considerably and are not necessarily in proportion to the true cost of the inclusionary percentage required. Table 2 below details neighboring communities' inclusionary requirements and each community's fee as applied to South Gate single family, townhome, and apartment sample prototype projects. The City's proposed fee of $25 per square foot falls within the range of compared fees, which are $10-$71 per square foot for rental projects and $14- $53 per square foot for townhome and single-family projects.
Table 2.' Regional Communities xiith Inclusionar)i Requirements and In-Lieu Fees 2 55
1/Alhambra and West Hollywood have an in lieu fee that would not apply to the prototype projects and have been excluded. Cudahy. Downey, and Rancho Palos Vetdes have not published a fee schedule to date 2/ Fee would not apply to single family and townhome prototype prolects 3 / Fee schedule allows a tange of fees based on the location within city.
A detailed analysis of the recommended in-lieu fee prepared by RSG, Inc. is included with this agenda bill as Attachment C.
Sectionll.29.l00B of the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance provides that the in-lieu fee would be adjusted annually in July based on the annual percentage change in corresponding month in the Bureau of Labor Statistics Los Angeles/Long Beach/Anaheim Consumer Price Index - All Urban Consiuners (CPI-U). The in-lieu fee may also be set or changed at any time by a resolution of the City Council.
Additionally, all in-lieu fees received by the City would be used by the South Gate Housing Authority for the development of housing affordable to lower and moderate-income households pursuant to Section 11.29.100C of the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. Housing assisted with housing in-lieu fees will be subject to a minimum 55-year affordability agreement with the Housing Authority encumbering the assisted housing site.
BACKGROUND: South Gate adopted the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance on June 28, 2022.
The Ordinance requires production of inclusionary housing for rental and ownership housing, which would generally apply to all market rate residential and mixed-use projects in the City over 10 units. Projects with 10 units or less are not required to produce inclusionary housing on-site and instead are charged the in-lieu fee.
By law, cities imposing an inclusionary housing requirement must offer at least one alternative to building the units on-site. The Inclusionary Housing Ordinance provides multiple alternative means of compliance, including payment of in-lieu fees.

SUBJECT: INCLUSIONARY HOUSING AND IN-LIEU FEE STUDY AND RECOMMENDATION
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This technical memorandum provides supporting information regarding the recommended in-lieu fees that the City of South Gate Community Development could charge applicants that are who are required to comply with the City's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance ("Ordinance") adopted on June 28, 2022. RSG has prepared this analysis supporting an in-lieu Fee schedule that, iT adopted as recommended by the City Council, would do the following:
1. Establish an in-lieu fee amount of $25.00 per square foot on applicable residential development projects to be collected by the City that do not provide full on-site fulfillment of the City's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (prorated for any partial on-site fulfillment); and
2. Provide that in-lieu payments received be deposited into a new Affordable Housing Trust Fund ("AHTF") to be managed by the City, which may be used to leverage other resources to produce, preserve, or protect affordable housing throughout South Gate (including, but not limited to, subsidizing affordable development, or providing housing grants and assistance).
This memorandum presents an analysis of housing affordability and the market economics of residential real estate development in South Gate, used to determine an appropriate in-lieu fee that would balance the need to produce affordable housing with the feasibility of residential development. Specifically, the memo presents the following information:
1. A brief background on inclusionary housing programs in California.
2. The methodology and preliminary analysis of prototypical residential development economics and affordable housing cost in South Gate.
3. A review of South Gate's adopted inclusionary housing ordinance and a survey of other communities' programs and Tees.
4. Analysis of recommendations for a South Gate in-lieu fee option (See page 9-10 for a quick reference of program recommendations).

BACKGROUND
Inclusionary housing ordinances are enacted by cities and counties to require, as a condition of approval, that residential development applications include a portion of the units constructed in a project to be set aside for purchase or rent by lower income households. Inclusionary policies attempt to capture some of the value of rising real estate prices to provide a community benefit by using local land use controls to ensure that much-needed affordable housing is produced along with market rate units. It is a flexible tool that can be tailored to local circumstances. There is no one model policy, but rather a number of best practices to consider when designing one. It is only one part of an affordable housing strategy and should not be viewed as the sole way to address the need, which may still require public subsidies and other programs and tools.
The typical target household income levels for affordable housing are defined as Very Low, Low, and Moderate Income, for households that earn less than 50, 80 or 120 percent of area median income ("AMI") for Los Angeles County, respectively, as determined by California's Department of Housing and Community Development ("HCD"). "Affordable housing cost" is typically defined by HCD based on income limit categories and household size. Generally, total affordable housing costs cannot exceed 30' percent of household income. For renters, housing cost includes rent plus utilities. For home buyers, housing cost is generally mortgage principal and interest, plus taxes and insurance.
Affordable housing units are commonly restricted by covenants recorded on the property to ensure they remain affordable for a long duration, typically 55 years for rental and 45 years for ownership housing.
After that period, it is not uncommon for units to be rehabilitated and the covenants to be extended, often requiring public subsidies. In some cases, such as when a land trust or other public entity retains ownership of the land or units, they can remain affordable in perpetuity.
Inclusionary housing policies are typically enacted by ordinances passed by the legislative body. Over 170 such ordinances or policies have been enacted in California and are prevalent in Los Angeles County.
Government Code Section 65850(g) requires that inclusionary housing ordinances contain alternative means for compliance, including but not limited to the payment of in-lieu fees, land dedication, off-site construction, and preservation of existing units. In our experience, most ordinances provide several such alternatives, but in-lieu fees that are generally equivalent to the net development cost of providing affordable housing on-site are most common. Many cities prefer the collection of fees in-lieu because these resources can be leveraged with other local, regional, State and Federal Funds to produce a larger quantity of affordable housing. In addition, by combining these resources and making them available to affordable housing developers, cities can subsidize units at much deeper affordability levels than may be feasible within market-rate developments. In a typical leveraged financing program for affordable housing development, the local contribution may represent only 5% to 20% of the total cost. ' With the exception of ownership housing sold to moderate income buyers, which can be 35 percent of household income.

COMPONENTS OF SOUTH GATE'S INCLUSIONARY HOUSING ORDINANCE The City adopted the Ordinance on June 28, 2022. The Ordinance requires production of inclusionary housing for rental and ownership housing, which would generally apply to all market rate residential and mixed-use projects in the City over 10 units. Projects with 10 units or less are not required to produce inclusionary housing on-site and instead are charged the in-lieu fee. Initially, these requirements are lower and phased in over a three-year period subject to approval by the City Council at each anniversary of the Ordinance.
Table 1 below summarizes the inclusionary requirements as proposed:

Other provisions of the ordinance include but are not limited to the following:
1. Units must remain affordable for a period of 55 years for both rental and ownership projects.
2. The Ordinance provides multiple alternative means of compliance, including off-site unit production (elsewhere in the City), land donation, conversion of market rate units to affordable housing, extension of at-risk affordable housing covenants in the City, and payment of in-lieu fees. 63 Meredith Elguira, Community Development Director
CITY OF SOUTH GATE
September 2, 2022
3. The Ordinance provides three types of applications that are not subject to the inclusionary housing requirement. These include most projects where an existing single unit is being replaced due to demolition or destruction, many types of 100 percent affordable housing projects, and accessory dwelling units.
IN LIEU FEE OPTIONS AND BEST PRACTICES
Like most inclusionary housing ordinances, South Gate's Ordinance permits the payment of in-lieu fees as an alternative means of compliance for on-site fulfillment. This section provides general guidance on how such in-lieu fees may be used to advance the production of affordable housing in South Gate.
How can in-lieu fees be used?
The City can direct the in-lieu fees to support a variety of housing programs, including loans or grants to subsidize affordable housing development, acquisition of land, and program administration. In-lieu fees can also be used as a matching grant or be combined with other local, regional, State, or Federal funding sources to leverage local funds and expand the number of affordable units and deepen their level of affordability.
Can the City use these funds in partnership with the Housing Authority or other third party affordable housing developers?
The City can use in-lieu fees to purchase land to be used for the development of affordable housing. The South Gate Housing Authority is currently pursuing several infill housing projects on redevelopment sites and additional funds could assist these or other projects in the future. Similarly, the Ordinance provides the authority to engage other third party affordable housing developers in a similar capacity.
How should the amount of an in-lieu fee be set?
As a starting point, the in-lieu fee should reflect the true cost of producing on-site units. For example, if a developer/applicant faced a net loss of $1 million to produce affordable housing, the corresponding in- lieu fee should be S$1 million if that same developer were to decline the option to build on-site.
If the fee is lower, developers are very likely to pay it rather than construct the required inclusionary affordable units on-site. Some cities prefer fees that are lower than cost so they can aggregate and leverage those funds to produce more units at deeper affordability, and not unnecessarily discourage market rate housing development. Cities are also apt to compare fees across jurisdictions as a means to remain a competitive and attractive housing market, even at the risk of collecting less dollars with a fee that does not offer comparable compensation to on-site production.
The cost of providing an inclusionary unit will vary by what income level is required and the size and type of unit. A standard in-lieu fee can only approximate these costs based on the range of policy options being included.
The in-lieu fee will need to change over time to reflect changes in construction costs, inflation, and other market factors. While an inclusionary policy is usually adopted by an ordinance, the in-lieu fee is best adopted by resolution since amending the ordinance on a regular basis can be more costly and time- consuming. RSG recommends that as part of the annual Ordinance review, the number of applications 64 Meredith Elguira, Community Development Director
CITY OF SOUTH GATE
September 2, 2022
where in-lieu fees are paid among all the alternative means of compliance be a suitable means for tracking the overall effectiveness and fairness of any ordinance and in-lieu fee schedule.
Fees can also differ in terms of how they are calculated. Generally there are two approaches: on a per- square-foot basis or on a per unit basis. The in-lieu fee per unit is popular because it is standardized and therefore easy to calculate and because developers evaluate projects in terms of cost per unit. The drawback with establishing a fee per unit is that it does not adjust for the size of units, and in some cases the sizes of units can vary. Generally, RSG advises our clients to establish an in-lieu fee on a per square foot basis.
What is the process and standard for requesting a waiver or reduction of the requirement? The inclusionary requirement should provide a clear and specific process for a developer to request a waiver or reduction, and the standards by which the request will be evaluated. The process should only be used in rare cases, and the developer must have to show economic hardship (the inability to achieve a profit) which can be verified by an independent third-party review.
IN LIEU FEE METHODOLOGY AND ANALYSIS
As mentioned above, the in-lieu fee should reflect the true cost of producing on-site units, which is commonly based on estimates around typical projects that the jurisdiction may see in the future. To provide a foundation for the recommended in lieu fee, RSG considered the cost of development, including land, construction, and a reasonable profit, as compared to what the market would pay for the improved property.
RSG looked at three different types of residential development: single-family detached homes and townhomes for-sale, and multifamily rental properties. Based on recent residential development applications, RSG formulated prototypical projects considering the size, density, and features for single family detached, townhome, and multifamily rental developments in the City.

Next, RSG evaluated the amount that lower income households of various size and income levels could afford to pay for each of the three prototypes. RSG used HCD's income limits table of households by size and income level for 2022 as shown in Table 3 below:

HCD sets "affordable housing costs" (rents and monthly house payments) based on a cost limit of 30 percent of household income (35 percent for Moderate homebuyers). Based on the three prototypes for residential development noted in Table 2 earlier, RSG focused its inclusionary unit cost analysis on a two-person household size for the one-bedroom apartments, three-person household size for the two- bedroom apartments and townhomes, and a four-person household size for the three-bedroom apartments, townhomes, and single-family homes, consistent with HCD standards for defining "affordable housing cost".

Sinqle Family and Townhome - Inclusionary Unit Cost Analysis Affordable purchase prices are driven by HCD limits on total monthly housing costs, inclusive of property taxes, insurance, mortgage principal and interest, and homeowners' association costs (if applicable). The difference between the supportable affordable purchase price (the amount a lower income household can afford to pay) and the estimated market price of each home creates a financial gap that a developer would recover by increasing the price of the market rate units in the project. This increase in price represents the cost to produce an inclusionary unit on-site.
Table 4 details the approximate net cost per unit if South Gate's inclusionary housing requirement was applied to the single family and townhome prototype projects.

Apartment Cost - Inclusionary Units Cost Analysis Affordable rents are driven by HCD limits on total monthly housing costs, inclusive of a reasonable utility allowance. The gap between the affordable rent and the estimated market rent reduces the project income needed to make a project feasible. This financial gap is equal to the loss in land value as a result of producing an inclusionary unit and represents the cost to produce an inclusionary unit on-site. Table 5 details the approximate net cost per unit if South Gate's inclusionary housing requirement was applied to the apartment prototype project.

In Lieu Fee Calculation
As indicated in Tables 4 and 5, RSG has calculated the equivalent in-lieu fee to producing units onsite would range between $25-$3"l per square foot depending on the type of project. For simplicity, RSG recommends an in-lieu fee amount of $25.00 per square foot on all residential development, which is roughly in balance with the inclusionary requirement so that developers may be likely to choose either method of compliance. Example in lieu fee calculations for sample projects can be found in Appendix 1.
In Lieu Fee Comparison
RSG surveyed Los Angeles County communities that had an inclusionary requirement and found that the in-lieu fee amounts varied considerably and were not necessarily in proportion to the true cost or the inclusionary percentage required. Table 7 details neighboring communities' inclusionary requirements and each community's fee as applied to South Gate prototype projects. RSG's recommended fee of $25 per square foot falls within the range of compared fees, which are $10-$71 for rental projects and $14- $53 for townhome and single family projects

Table 7: Regional Communities with Inclusionary Requirements and In-Lieu Fees 1/Alhambra and West Hollywood have an in lieu fee that would not apply to the prototype projects and have been excluded. Cudahy, Downey, and Rancho Palos Verdes have not published a fee schedule to date. 2/ Fee would not apply to single family and toviinhome prototype projects. 3/ Fee schedule allows a range of Fees based on the location within city.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the foregoing analysis, best practices, and input from Council, RSG recommends that an in- lieu fee be prepared through the City Attorney's Office of the City of South Gate for consideration by the City Council, based on the following parameters:
In-lieu fee alternative: Regardless as to how they intend to meet the inclusionary requirements, applicants must submit an inclusionary housing plan, subject to approval by the Director of Community Development, demonstrating their plan for fulTilling the City's inclusionary housing requirement. At the applicant's option, all or a portion of whole units required may be satisfied by payment of an in-lieu fee. Any partial fulfillment would be determined on a prorated basis. The City Council, by resolution, shall establish the amounts and calculation of the housing in-lieu fee.
Affordable Housing
Trust Fund (AHTF):
The City shall create an AHTF. All housing in-lieu fees paid to the City shall be deposited into the AHTF for use by the City to fund the development or preservation of housing situated within the City limits that is affordable to households of lower and moderate incomes, including, but not limited to:
* the acquisition of property,
* costs of construction or rehabilitation, including costs associated with planning, administration and design, as well as actual building or installation costs, and
* program administration.
It
69 Meredith Elguira, Community Development Director
CITY OF SOUTH GATE
September 2, 2022
Housing assisted with housing in-lieu fees shall be subject to a minimum 55- year affordability agreement encumbering the site where the assisted housing is situated.
Timing of in-lieu
payment:
Payment of an in-lieu fee shall be made prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy for the development project, regardless of phasing.
In-lieu fee amount: The in-lieu fee amount may be set or changed at any time by a Resolution of the City Council.
The recommended initial in-lieu fee amount would be $25.00 per square !Q9! multiplied by the total square feet of all units in the development project.
In the case of a project that satisfies the requirement with a mix of on-site affordable units and an in-lieu fee, RSG recommends an independent consultant verify the partial fee required.

SUBJECT: INCLUSIONARY HOUSING AND IN-LIEU FEE STUDY AND RECOMMENDATION
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This technical memorandum provides supporting information regarding the recommended in-lieu fees that the City of South Gate Community Development could charge applicants that are who are required to comply with the City's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance ("Ordinance") adopted on June 28, 2022. RSG has prepared this analysis supporting an in-lieu fee schedule that, if adopted as recommended by the City Council, would do the following:
1. Establish an in-lieu fee amount of $25.00 per square foot on applicable residential development projects to be collected by the City that do not provide full on-site fulfillment of the City's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (prorated for any partial on-site fulfillment); and
2. Provide that in-lieu payments received be deposited into a new Affordable Housing Trust Fund ("AHTF") to be managed by the City, which may be used to leverage other resources to produce, preserve, or protect affordable housing throughout South Gate (including, but not limited to, subsidizing affordable development, or providing housing grants and assistance).
This memorandum presents an analysis of housing affordability and the market economics of residential real estate development in South Gate, used to determine an appropriate in-lieu fee that would balance the need to produce affordable housing with the feasibility of residential development. Specifically, the memo presents the following information:
1. A brief background on inclusionary housing programs in California.
2. The methodology and preliminary analysis of prototypical residential development economics and affordable housing cost in South Gate.
3. A review of South Gate's adopted inclusionary housing ordinance and a survey of other communities' programs and fees.
4. Analysis of recommendations for a South Gate in-lieu fee option (See page 9-10 for a quick reference of program recommendations).

BACKGROUND
Inclusionary housing ordinances are enacted by cities and counties to require, as a condition of approval, that residential development applications include a portion of the units constructed in a project to be set aside for purchase or rent by lower income households. Inclusionary policies attempt to capture some of the value of rising real estate prices to provide a community benefit by using local land use controls to ensure that much-needed affordable housing is produced along with market rate units. It is a flexible tool that can be tailored to local circumstances. There is no one model policy, but rather a number of best practices to consider when designing one. It is only one part of an affordable housing strategy and should not be viewed as the sole way to address the need, which may still require public subsidies and other programs and tools.
The typical target household income levels for affordable housing are defined as Very Low, Low, and Moderate Income, for households that earn less than 50, 80 or 120 percent of area median income ("AMI") for Los Angeles County, respectively, as determined by California's Department of Housing and Community Development ("HCD"). "Affordable housing cost" is typically defined by HCD based on income limit categories and household size. Generally, total affordable housing costs cannot exceed 30' percent of household income. For renters, housing cost includes rent plus utilities. For home buyers, housing cost is generally mortgage principal and interest, plus taxes and insurance.
Affordable housing units are commonly restricted by covenants recorded on the property to ensure they remain affordable for a long duration, typically 55 years for rental and 45 years for ownership housing.
After that period, it is not uncommon for units to be rehabilitated and the covenants to be extended, ofien requiring public subsidies. In some cases, such as when a land trust or other public entity retains ownership of the land or units, they can remain affordable in perpetuity.
Inclusionary housing policies are typically enacted by ordinances passed by the legislative body. Over 170 such ordinances or policies have been enacted in California and are prevalent in Los Angeles County.
Government Code Section 65850(g) requires that inclusionary housing ordinances contain alternative means for compliance, including but not limited to the payment of in-lieu fees, land dedication, off-site construction, and preservation of existing units. In our experience, most ordinances provide several such alternatives, but in-lieu fees that are generally equivalent to the net development cost of providing affordable housing on-site are most common. Many cities prefer the collection of fees in-lieu because these resources can be leveraged with other local, regional, State and Federal funds to produce a larger quantity of affordable housing. In addition, by combining these resources and making them available to affordable housing developers, cities can subsidize units at much deeper affordability levels than may be feasible within market-rate developments. In a typical leveraged financing program for affordable housing development, the local contribution may represent only 5% to 20% of the total cost. ' With the exception of ownership housing sold to moderate income buyers, which can be 35 percent of household income.

COMPONENTS OF SOUTH GATE'S INCLUSIONARY HOUSING ORDINANCE The City adopted the Ordinance on June 28, 2022. The Ordinance requires production of inclusionary housing for rental and ownership housing, which would generally apply to all market rate residential and mixed-use projects in the City over 10 units. Projects with 10 units or less are not required to produce inclusionary housing on-site and instead are charged the in-lieu fee. Initially, these requirements are lower and phased in over a three-year period subject to approval by the City Council at each anniversary of the Ordinance.
Table 1 below summarizes the inclusionary requirements as proposed:

Other provisions of the ordinance include but are not limited to the following:
1. Units must remain affordable for a period of 55 years for both rental and ownership projects.
2. The Ordinance provides multiple alternative means of compliance, including off-site unit production (elsewhere in the City), land donation, conversion of market rate units to affordable housing, extension of at-risk affordable housing covenants in the City, and payment ofin-lieu fees. 76 Meredith Elguira, Community Development Director
CITY OF SOUTH GATE
September 2, 2022
3. The Ordinance provides three types of applications that are not subject to the inclusionary housing requirement. These include most projects where an existing single unit is being replaced due to demolition or destruction, many types of 100 percent affordable housing projects, and accessory dwelling units.
IN LIEU FEE OPTIONS AND BEST PRACTICES
Like most inclusionary housing ordinances, South Gate's Ordinance permits the payment of in-lieu fees as an alternative means of compliance for on-site fulfillment. This section provides general guidance on how such in-lieu fees may be used to advance the production of affordable housing in South Gate.
How can in-lieu fees be used?
The City can direct the in-lieu fees to support a variety of housing programs, including loans or grants to subsidize affordable housing development, acquisition of land, and program administration. In-lieu fees can also be used as a matching grant or be combined with other local, regional, State, or Federal funding sources to leverage local funds and expand the number of affordable units and deepen their level of affordability.
Can the City use these funds in partnership with the Housing Authority or other third party affordable housing developers?
The City can use in-lieu fees to purchase land to be used for the development of affordable housing. The South Gate Housing Authority is currently pursuing several infill housing projects on redevelopment sites and additional funds could assist these or other projects in the Future. Similarly, the Ordinance provides the authority to engage other third party affordable housing developers in a similar capacity.
How should the amount of an in-lieu fee be set?
As a starting point, the in-lieu fee should reflect the true cost of producing on-site units. For example, if a developer/applicant faced a net loss of $1 million to produce affordable housing, the corresponding in- lieu fee should be $1 million if that same developer were to decline the option to build on-site.
If the fee is lower, developers are very likely to pay it rather than construct the required inclusionary affordable units on-site. Some cities prefer fees that are lower than cost so they can aggregate and leverage those funds to produce more units at deeper affordability, and not unnecessarily discourage market rate housing development. Cities are also apt to compare fees across jurisdictions as a means to remain a competitive and attractive housing market, even at the risk of collecting less dollars with a fee that does not offer comparable compensation to on-site production.
The cost of providing an inclusionary unit will vary by what income level is required and the size and type of unit. A standard in-lieu fee can only approximate these costs based on the range of policy options being included.
The in-lieu fee will need to change over time to reflect changes in construction costs, inflation, and other market factors. While an inclusionary policy is usually adopted by an ordinance, the in-lieu fee is best adopted by resolution since amending the ordinance on a regular basis can be more costly and time- consuming. RSG recommends that as part of the annual Ordinance review, the number of applications 77 Meredith Elguira, Community Development Director
CITY OF SOUTH GATE
September 2, 2022
where in-lieu fees are paid among all the alternative means of compliance be a suitable means for tracking the overall effectiveness and fairness of any ordinance and in-lieu fee schedule.
Fees can also differ in terms of how they are calculated. Generally there are two approaches: on a per- square-foot basis or on a per unit basis. The in-lieu fee per unit is popular because it is standardized and therefore easy to calculate and because developers evaluate projects in terms of cost per unit. The drawback with establishing a fee per unit is that it does not adjust for the size of units, and in some cases the sizes of units can vary. Generally, RSG advises our clients to establish an in-lieu fee on a per square foot basis.
What is the process and standard for requesting a waiver or reduction of the requirement? The inclusionary requirement should provide a clear and specific process for a developer to request a waiver or reduction, and the standards by which the request will be evaluated. The process should only be used in rare cases, and the developer must have to show economic hardship (the inability to achieve a profit) which can be verified by an independent third-party review.
IN LIEU FEE METHODOLOGY AND ANALYSIS
As mentioned above, the in-lieu fee should reflect the true cost of producing on-site units, which is commonly based on estimates around typical projects that the jurisdiction may see in the future. To provide a foundation for the recommended in lieu fee, RSG considered the cost of development, including land, construction, and a reasonable profit, as compared to what the market would pay for the improved property.
RSG looked at three different types of residential development: single-family detached homes and townhomes for-sale, and multifamily rental properties. Based on recent residential development applications, RSG formulated prototypical projects considering the size, density, and features for single family detached, townhome, and multifamily rental developments in the City.
Table 2 on the following page is a summary of the three development prototypes' characteristics and average construction costs (excludes cost of land).

Next, RSG evaluated the amount that lower income households of various size and income levels could afford to pay for each of the three prototypes. RSG used HCD's income limits table of households by size and income level for 2022 as shown in Table 3 below:

HCD sets "affordable housing costs" (rents and monthly house payments) based on a cost limit of 30 percent of household income (35 percent for Moderate homebuyers). Based on the three prototypes for residential development noted in Table 2 earlier, RSG focused its inclusionary unit cost analysis on a two-person household size for the one-bedroom apartments, three-person household size for the two- bedroom apartments and townhomes, and a four-person household size for the three-bedroom apartments, townhomes, and single-family homes, consistent with HCD standards for defining "affordable housing cost".

Sinqle Family and Townhome - Inclusionary Unit Cost Analysis Affordable purchase prices are driven by HCD limits on total monthly housing costs, inclusive of property taxes, insurance, mortgage principal and interest, and homeowners' association costs (if applicable). The difference between the supportable affordable purchase price (the amount a lower income household can afford to pay) and the estimated market price of each home creates a financial gap that a developer would recover by increasing the price of the market rate units in the project. This increase in price represents the cost to produce an inclusionary unit on-site.
Table 4 details the approximate net cost per unit if South Gate's inclusionary housing requirement was applied to the single family and townhome prototype projects.

Apartment Cost - Inclusionary Units Cost Analysis Affordable rents are driven by HCD limits on total monthly housing costs, inclusive of a reasonable utility allowance. The gap between the affordable rent and the estimated market rent reduces the project income needed to make a project feasible. This financial gap is equal to the loss in land value as a result of producing an inclusionary unit and represents the cost to produce an inclusionary unit on-site. Table 5 details the approximate net cost per unit if South Gate's inclusionary housing requirement was applied to the apartment prototype project.

In Lieu Fee Calculation
As indicated in Tables 4 and 5, RSG has calculated the equivalent in-lieu fee to producing units onsite would range between $25-$31 per square foot depending on the type of project. For simplicity, RSG recommends an in-lieu fee amount of $25.00 per square foot on all residential development, which is roughly in balance with the inclusionary requirement so that developers may be likely to choose either method of compliance. Example in lieu fee calculations for sample projects can be found in Appendix 1.
In Lieu Fee Comparison
RSG surveyed Los Angeles County communities that had an inclusionary requirement and found that the in-lieu fee amounts varied considerably and were not necessarily in proportion to the true cost of the inclusionary percentage required. Table 7 details neighboring communities' inclusionary requirements and each community's fee as applied to South Gate prototype projects. RSG's recommended fee of $25 per square foot falls within the range of compared fees, which are $10-$71 for rental projects and $14- $53 for townhome and single family projects

RECOMMENDATION
Based on the foregoing analysis, best practices, and input from Council, RSG recommends that an in- lieu fee be prepared through the City Attorney's Office of the City of South Gate for consideration by the City Council, based on the following parameters:
In-lieu fee alternative: Regardless as to how they intend to meet the inclusionary requirements, applicants must submit an inclusionary housing plan, subject to approval by the Director of Community Development, demonstrating their plan for fulfilling the City's inclusionary housing requirement. At the applicant's option, all or a portion of whole units required may be satisfied by payment of an in-lieu fee. Any partial fulfillment would be determined on a prorated basis. The City Council, by resolution, shall establish the amounts and calculation of the housing in-lieu fee.
Affordable Housing
Trust Fund (AHTF):
The City shall create an AHTF. All housing in-lieu fees paid to the City shall be deposited into the AHTF for use by the City to fund the development or preservation of housing situated within the City limits that is affordable to households of lower and moderate incomes, including, but not limited to:
* the acquisition of property,
* costs of construction or rehabilitation, including costs associated with planning, administration and design, as well as actual building or installation costs, and
* program administration.
82 Meredith Elguira, Community Development Director
CITY OF SOUTH GATE
September 2, 2022
Housing assisted with housing in-lieu fees shall be subject to a minimum 55- year affordability agreement encumbering the site where the assisted housing is situated.
Timing of in-lieu
payment:
Payment of an in-lieu fee shall be made prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy for the development project, regardless of phasing.
In-lieu fee amount: The in-lieu fee amount may be set or changed at any time by a Resolution of the City Council.
The recommended initial in-lieu fee amount would be $25.00 per square !Q9! multiplied by the total square feet of all units in the development project.
In the case of a project that satisfies the requirement with a mix of on-site affordable units and an in-lieu fee, RSG recommends an independent consultant verify the partial fee required.

* Proposed appropriation
ANALYSIS: The Agreement with W. A. Rasic ("Rasic") expires on January 31, 2023, however, provides for two one-year extensions. It is recommended to extend the Agreement for one year through January 31, 2024. Rasic provides timely services, with quality worlananship and competitive pricing. The Agreement provides for fixed pricing based on time and material work and a rate increase for the time extension according to the Construction Cost Index (CCI) of "Engineering News Record" as applicable to the Los Angeles Region and subject to the approval of the Owner. The rate increase for Amendment No. 2 will be based on the CCI for February 2023.
The sanitary sewer system located on Burke Avenue recently experienced issues that required repairs on an emergency basis which were completed by Rasic. This repair was considered urgent to prevent a sewer spill and potentially damage property. The cost of the repair was priced out at $50,000 using the Agreement fixed pricing for time and material work. The Sewer Funds appropriation is needed to pay for the repairs.
BACKGROUND: From time to time, the municipal water system and sanitary sewer system require urgent repairs such as when there is a major leak in a pipeline, a broken pipe, and sewer spill due to accidents or deteriorated pipes. When such urgent situations arise, repairs are required to be completed on an emergency basis to prevent interrupting service, property damage, or health and safety issues. On-call services agreements allow the Public Works Department to respond to emergencies in a timely maru'ier.
On January 28, 2020, the City the Agreement to W. A. Rasic to perform emergency repairs on the municipal water and sanitary sewer systems in the amount $300,000. The contract was awarded pursuant to a competitive bid process. On August 10, 2021, Amendment No. I was approved to fund emergency repairs that were performed to, (a) replace a leaking 20-inch valve located on the municipal water system underlying South Gate Park, and (b) repair a damaged sewer pipeline underlying Garfield Avenue at Miller Way, in an amount of $189,000.
Amendment No. 2 is proposed in the amount of $150,000 to fund one additional year of on-call services in the amount of $100,000 annually and $50,000 for emergency repairs completed on Burke Avenue,

AGENDA BILL
For the Special Meeting of: November 10, 2022
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT N0. 5 TO CONTRACT N0. 2020-22-AC WITH CLIENTFIRST
TECHNOLOGY CONSULTING, FOR CONTINUED IT PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICES PURPOSE: ToapproveAmendmentNo.5toContractNo.2020-22-AC("AntendmentNo.5")witliClientFirst Technology Consulting ("ClientFirst"), for continued project management services related to the initial implementation of the Technology Master Plan ("TMP").
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City Council will consider:
a. Approving Amendment No. 5 to Contract No. 2020-22-AC with ClientFirst Technology Consulting, retroactively effective October 1, 2021 tluaougli June 30, 2023, for continued project management services for the implementation of the Teclinology Master Plan in an amount not-to-exceed $62,580; b. Authorizing the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 5 in a foim acceptable to the City Attorney.
FISCAL IMPACT: Tlie cost of Amendment No. 5 is included in tlie Fiscal Year 2022/23 Municipal Budget and will be funded with ARPA funds in account 268-310-12-6101.
AI,IGNMENT WITH COUNCIL GOALS: The TMP was presented to City Council on January 28, 2020, and the City Council directed staff to move forward witli the implementatioi'i of specific initiatives included in the TMP. The TMP includes a series of achievable projects and initiatives recommended for implementation over a six-year period that are appropriately aligned with tlie City Council and staff's goals and objectives.
ANALYSIS: City staff relies heavily on technology to accomplish many of their daily tasks. The public relies on technology to interact with staff, to pay for City services, and to get information about what is happening in the City. As with most assets, if you do not invest in the proper maintenance and repairs, the technology infrastructure will soon fall into disrepair and ultimately fail. To avoid getting to that point, on January 28, 2020, the City Council accepted staff's proposed TMP.
Amendment No. 5 will allow ClientFirst to continue providing the City with teclinology consulting services focused on improving cybersecurity readiness, updating systems to improve public safety readiness, and expanding systems resiliency. This engagement will coordinate the implementation of several significant initiatives that will improve system availability, IT security, and provide additional flexibility to staff as oritlined in tlie following section.
Additionally, Staff will be including several initiatives from the six-year TMP in the FY 2022-2023 Proposed Budget. These initiatives will continue the City's efforts in improving its IT systems and infrastructure to serve both the internal needs of the departments and, as a result, provide residents and businesses of South Gate with improved access to City services.

BACKGROUND: Technology is key to providing excellent customer service for our residerits and businesses in South Gate. Over the last few years, citizens have been requesting the ability to handle more transactions online, have more efficient interactions with City staff, and greater transparency. To respond to the growing demand for technology enhancements, it is imperative that technology projects and purcliases going forward focus on standardization, integration, and consolidation to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of delivering municipal services. To that end, the six-year TMP was developed. The proposed Amendment No. 5 will assist staff in continuing tlie progress that has been made to date on tlie TMP initiatives.
Amendment No. 5 is needed so ClientFirst, the City's TMP Consultant, can continue to assist staff with overall project management of t}ie TMP througli June 30, 2023. Contract No. 2020-22-AC was approved under tlie City Manager's aritliority, Amendment No. 1 was approved by tl'ie City Council on May 26, 2020, Amendment No. 2 was approved by tlie City Coui'icil on November 10, 2020, Amendment No. 3 was approved by the City Council on July 13, 2021 and Amendment No. 4 was approved by the City Council on July 12, 2022.
Amendment No. 5 will bring tlie total cost of the Agreement to $410,200, as sl'iown below.
Contract with ClientFirst Date Approved Term Ending Amount Contract Total Contract No. 2020-22-AC March 2, 2020 July 2, 2020 $48,380 $48,380 Amendment No. 1 May 26, 2020 September 30, 2020 $62,390 $110,770 Amendment No. 2 November 10, 2020 June 30, 2021 $88,450 $199,220 Amendment No. 3 July 13, 2021 March 31, 2022 $99,625 $298,845 Amendment No. 4 July 12, 2022 September 30, 2022 $48,775 $347,620 Amendment No. 5 Pending June 30, 2022 $62,580 $410,200 The City Council may recall tliat the approved TMP calls for the hiring of a full-time Infoimation Technology Manager to oversee the day-to-day operations of the Information Systei'ns Division and to iinplei'nent the 82 initiatives in the TMP. Since the City has not yet received authorization to hire an Infoimation Technology Manager, the services of ClientFirst are needed to assist staff with the implementation of the TMP initiatives.
Services to be provided by ClientFirst for active projects include the following:
* Meet with the City's IT Team once a week and review all active projects and next steps * Final implementation of telephone system replacement project * Multi-Factor Autl'ientication for Office 365 and other remote access methods * Mobile Device Management for laptops, tablets, and smartphones * Development and testing of a cybersecurity incident response plan For tlie projects listed above, ClientFirst coordinates vendor quotes, develops RFPs, and works with tlie City's IT and Purchasing staff on procurement of equipment and services.

RE: Proposal for Continuing IT Project Management
Dear Ms. Acosta:
Please accept this letter as our proposal for ClientFirst to continue to provide project management oversight for the initial implementation of the Technology Master Plan. We propose to continue to oversee with IT strategy, management, project oversight, and vendor coordination until September 30, 2020.
We initially began projed management activities in March, and we were immediately involved in the City's COVID-19 response. We began assisting the City in whatever way we could. We worked with the IT team to expedite Technology Master Plan projects that were critical "work- from-home," Zoom implementation, and email system stabilization.
Just when staff were acclimating to COVID-19 and 'work-from-home," the email server (Exchange) crashed. The most straightfomard recovery scenario, retrieving email from backup, would have caused email to be offiine for days and created a significant loss of email. An alternate solution was developed that was more time consuming resulted in a relatively rapid return to a functioning email system and nearly full recovery of email, calendars, and other Outlook functionality.
These emergency projects consumed projed management and network engineering time at a rapid pace, causing ClientFirst a funding shortfall that has prevented us from fulfilling our project management duties through the end of June as our initial agreement stated.
This proposal is an extension of our original project management agreement to cover the period of May through September 2020. In the next few days, we exped our work efforts to more closely resemble our proposed work plan.
The City has requested that ClientFirst provide information technology organization and operational consulting services to the City in order to promptly begin implementation of the Technology Master Plan dated November 2019. The plan recommends significant technology investments to replace obsolete equipment and software over the next two years. We expect to provide project management for the plan until the City hires an IT Manager to direct the plan over the long term.
We propose to provide information technology strategy, management, and advisory expertise to the City, City Information Technology, and Police Department Information Techno)ogy. Our oversight wil! relate to the folJowing types of adivities:
* Oversee in the development of a job description and job classification for an IT Manager Create a drafi IT Manager job description
