39 Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
To facilitate preparation of the Annual Plan, the City of Stockton consulted with various agencies and organizations located throughout the city and county, including public and assisted housing providers and developers, an assortment of government agencies, as well as social service agencies. These consultations represent a continuation of ongoing interactions between the City and the agencies or organizations described.
Discussion
The City of Stockton plans to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs by partnering with non-profits and public service agencies to provide essential services. To foster affordable housing, the City will leverage public funds, align its programs with city initiatives, and use the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) process to solicit projects. The City will support economic development and service programs, including food assistance, youth services, and homelessness prevention. The City will also enhance coordination between public and private housing and economic development entities through ongoing consultations and public involvement.

41 HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME)
Reference 24 CFR 91.220(l)(2)
1. A description of other forms of investment being used beyond those identified in Section
92.205 is as follows:
The City does not propose to use HOME funds to provide any assistance in a form not included in Section 92.205(b). Developer proposals for HOME funds are accepted through a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) identifying the purpose and type of funds available, with announcements sent via email, posted to the City's website, social media pages, and a public notice(in both English and Spanish) in the local newspaper. . .
To encourage a variety of project types and locations, the City's HOME program does not limit beneficiaries. Applications are made available electronically through the City's online grant application program. The competitive applications are reviewed by City staff and/or a committee of regional housing experts and representatives from the community. The applications are scored through set criteria, including eligible uses, commitment and expenditure deadlines, developer capacity, experience, concurrence with established goals and policies, leveraging, or other requirements. Recommendations for funding are made to the City Council, which holds a publicly noticed hearing to vote on moving forward with the recommended allocations.
2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows:
The City does not currently use HOME funds for homebuyer activities; however, the City will use the recapture provisions (pursuant to 24 CFR 92.254(a)(5)(ii)) in future cases where a homebuyer subsidy exists. For HOME-funded homebuyer assistance loans, the Promissory Note, Deed of Trust, Declaration of Restrictions, and the Homebuyer Agreement will be the enforcement mechanisms for the City's recapture provisions. The City will enforce minimum periods of affordability based on the amount of homebuyer subsidy provided to the buyer of not less than:
• Five years for less than $15,000
• Ten years for between $15,000-$40,000 and
• Fifteen years for more than $40,00
Recapture provisions are based on 24 CFR 92.254 (a) (5) (ii), which stipulates the conditions for recapture of the HOME investment used to assist low-income families in purchasing a home.
Homebuyer recapture provisions will be included in the recorded deed of trust that secures a
ATTACHMENT E
494
42 HOME loan note, or as a deed restriction rider. This requires recapture of funds if the home does not continue to be the borrower’s principal residence or if all or any part of the property or any interest in it is sold, rented, conveyed, or transferred during the affordability period.
Recapture provisions also stipulate that only the direct subsidy to the homebuyer is subject to recapture, which includes down payment assistance, closing costs, other HOME assistance provided directly to homebuyer, and the difference between fair market value and the sales price.
The net proceeds are the sale price minus the senior loan payment (other than HOME funds) and any closing costs. If the net proceeds are not sufficient to recapture the full HOME investment plus enable the homeowner to recover the amount of the homeowner’s down payment and any capital improvement investment made by the owner since the purchase, the City may share the net proceeds. The net proceeds may be divided proportionally between the City and the homeowner as set forth in the following mathematical formulas:
HOME subsidy X Net proceeds = HOME amount to be recaptured HOME subsidy + Homeowner Investment
Homeowner Investment X Net proceeds = Amount to homeowner HOME subsidy + Homeowner Investment
In the event of foreclosure, the amount subject to recapture is based on the amount of net proceeds (if any) from the foreclosure sale.
3. 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:
Part 92.254(a)(4) applies to homeownership activities including housing acquired by a family with HOME program assistance. The City does not currently use HOME funds for homeownership activities, however in the case HOME funds are used, the city will follow HOME affordability period requirements as a minimum standard as well as the recapture requirements as specified in question 2 of this section.
4. 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 provide HOME funds for the refinancing of multi-family housing.
ATTACHMENT E

The City does not currently offer HOME TBRA.
6. If applicable to a planned HOME TBRA activity, a description of how the preference for a specific category of individuals with disabilities (e.g. persons with HIV/AIDS or chronic mental illness) will narrow the gap in benefits and the preference is needed to narrow the gap in benefits and services received by such persons. (See 24 CFR 92.209(c)(2)(ii) and
91.220(l)(2)(vii)).
Not applicable.
7. If applicable, a description of any preference or limitation for rental housing projects. (See 24 CFR 92.253(d)(3) and CFR 91.220(l)(2)(vii)). Note: Preferences cannot be administered in a manner that limits the opportunities of persons on any basis prohibited by the laws listed under 24 CFR 5.105(a).
The City’s HOME funding is used to support local or regional housing developers’ affordable housing projects through loans or grants. Developers use local housing needs market data and/or other housing subsidy requirements in deciding the target sub-population that each proposed housing project will serve (e.g. homeless, at risk of homeless, veterans, seniors, farm workers, etc.). However, HOME program requirements at 24 CFR 92.253(d)(3), require that if there is any limitation or preference given to a particular segment of the population on any affordable housing project assisted with HOME program funds, the limitation or preference must be described in the City’s HUD Consolidated Plan (without violating any nondiscrimination requirements). To comply with this requirement, the City adopted HOME preferences in 2024 as part of a Substantial Amendment to its 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan. The City’s HOME preference policy stipulates that when issuing affordable housing NOFAs, the City will consider awarding HOME funds to eligible projects that propose to serve any of the following target populations:

The San Joaquin County 2024 Point in Time Count reported a total of 4,732 persons experiencing homelessness in San Joaquin County in 2024, with 2,996 (63%) within the City of Stockton.
According to the 2022 Point in Time Count 2,319 persons experiencing homelessness resided within in San Joaquin County.
The fact that the homeless population has doubled in the past two years indicates that more attention and resources need to be dedicated to addressing this issue.
The San Joaquin County 2024 Point in Time Count collected data

44 on four subpopulations that the federal government determined to face particular challenges related to housing. One of the key subpopulations identified by the federal government was children and youth under age 25 experiencing homelessness. Of the 4,732 persons experiencing homelessness in San Joaquin County, 304 individuals were identified as being children and transition aged youth under 25. Compared to the other four vulnerable
subpopulations identified in the report, children and youth under the age of 25 experienced the highest share of unsheltered homelessness as 80% of this population reported they were unsheltered.
The Analysis of Impediments that was completed in
correspondence with the 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan identified homeless persons as a special housing needs population. The report suggests the lead determinate for homelessness is due to the inability to afford housing in a particular community.
Increasing the stock of affordable housing for this subpopulation can alleviate some of the challenges faced by this special housing needs subpopulation.

The 2024 City of Stockton Housing Element cites persons with disabilities as a key population with special housing needs. The report cites “14.6 percent of the total population in Stockton five years and older had one or more disabilities in 2020, compared
13.3 percent countywide, and 8.0 percent in California.” Using HMIS data, the 2024 Regional Homeless Action Plan identified statistically significant vulnerable populations withing the San Joaquin Continuum of Care district. According to HMIS data, people with serious mental illness (SMI) and people with substance use disorders (SUD) were a significant population that faced housing insecurity.
The San Joaquin County 2024 Point in Time Count (PITC) collected data on four subpopulations that the federal government determined to face particular challenges related to housing. One of the key subpopulations identified by the federal government was individuals with disabilities experiencing chronic
homelessness. Of the 4,732 persons experiencing homelessness in San Joaquin County, 1,078 individuals were identified as being chronically homeless. According to the PITC, 72% of the chronically homeless population are unsheltered.
The Analysis of Impediments that was completed in
correspondence with the 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan identified persons with disabilities as a special housing needs population.
The analysis cites that persons with disabilities can face discrimination in the housing market due to biases about adaptive equipment and the need for modifications. Property owners might be concerned about potential damage from equipment or

According to San Joaquin County Behavioral Health Services, “there is an urgent and increasing need for affordable housing in San Joaquin County, particularly for justice-involved mental health consumers. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately 37% of individuals in the U.S. incarcerated in state and federal prisons and 44% in local jails have been diagnosed with a mental illness. Furthermore, justice-involved individuals with mental health conditions are significantly more likely to experience homelessness, with studies indicating that about 15% of people leaving jails and prisons become homeless within a year of release.”

The updated 2024 City of Stockton Housing Element cites large families as a key population with special housing needs. HUD defines a large household or family as consisting of five or more members. Large families are cited as a special housing needs population because 21.2% of households in Stockton are
considered large households compared to 19.6% in the County and 13.8% in California.
The San Joaquin County 2024 Point in Time Count collected data on four subpopulations that the federal government determined to face particular challenges related to housing. One of the key subpopulations identified by the federal government was families with children experiencing homelessness. Of the 4,732 persons experiencing homelessness in San Joaquin County, 454 individuals were identified as being members of homeless families with children.
The Analysis of Impediments that was completed in
correspondence with the 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan identified large households as a special housing needs population. The analysis conducted cited that lower-income large households often face excessive housing costs due to the higher expense of larger units and the scarcity of such units in conventional apartment complexes. Additionally, these families may
experience overcrowded living conditions and discrimination in the housing market, such as higher rents or outright denial of rental applications.
Housing for
Veterans
U.S. Military
Veterans
Many housing authorities have preferencesfor award of housing vouchers to veterans.
Rationale is that veterans are more likely to be physically and financially vulnerable and to need affordable housing more than the general population. VASH rental vouchers from the VA are either portable or project based. Preference could be for VASH holders.
The San Joaquin County 2024 Point in Time Count collected data

46 on four subpopulations that the federal government determined to face particular challenges related to housing. One of the key subpopulations identified by the federal government was veterans. Of the 4,732 persons experiencing homelessness in San Joaquin County, 249 individuals were identified as being members of homeless families with children. Moreover, the report cites that 79% of the homeless veteran population were unsheltered.
Using HMIS data, the 2024 Regional Homeless Action Plan identified statistically significant vulnerable populations withing the San Joaquin Continuum of Care district. According to HMIS data, veterans were a significant population that faced housing insecurity. The plan states that “while veterans had the highest rate for permanent housing placement, they also have a higherthan-average rate of returning to homelessness after placement, suggesting that veterans' housing programs might benefit from additional support for clients (perhaps trauma or PTSD-specific).” The plan also outlines that one of the four funding priorities of HHAP round 5 involves targeted outreach and support services for vulnerable populations such as veterans.

Many housing authority voucher programs give priority to the Violence Against Women Act population. HUD recently issued new resources for advancing housing protections for survivors of domestic violence.
Using HMIS data, the 2024 Regional Homeless Action Plan identified statistically significant vulnerable populations withing the San Joaquin Continuum of Care district.

The 2024 City of Stockton Housing Element cites seniors as a key population with special housing needs. Senior households make up 21.6% of Stockton households and nearly 30% of senior households in Stockton have an income of less than $25,000.
The Analysis of Impediments that was completed in
correspondence with the 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan identified seniors as a special housing needs population. The analysis describes that seniors possess special housing needs due to living on fixed incomes, limited mobility, and physical or mental impairments or disabilities. In order to make housing accessible to this subpopulation, housing must be affordable within their fixed income budget and designed for individuals with limited mobility.

The updated 2024 City of Stockton Housing Element cites farmworkers as a key population with special housing needs. The plan states that farmworkers are an essential component of Stockton’s economy and according to the 2016-2020 American Community Survey 5,010 Stockton residents work in agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting, or mining. Moreover, according to the 2017 Census, 19,741 farmworkers worked in San Joaquin County. Programs 11, 12, 16, 22, 23, and 30 of the Housing Element commit to actions to support developing new homes and rehabilitating existing homes for farmworkers, along with prioritizing outreach and programs for farmworkers. While farmworkers are important to the local economy, many are lowincome workers and are often subject to substandard housing.
The Analysis of Impediments that was completed in
correspondence with the 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan identified farmworkers as a special housing needs population. While farmworkers were identified as being an essential component of the regional agricultural system they face challenges in obtaining adequate and affordable housing due to high poverty rates, large household sizes, linguistic isolation, and intimidation and fear due to citizenship status. Due to limited capital in farmworker housing, the farm-working community frequently ends up in overcrowded, substandard housing that is often geographically isolated and lacks essential services, increasing their risk of homelessness.

48 In addition, The following requirements shall apply to all HOME-assisted housing projects that adopt any of the target populations allowable under this policy:
a. The project shall not violate of any local, state, or federal fair housing regulations.
b. The project shall comply with all applicable housing regulations at 24 CFR Part
92. c. The project shall comply with the HOME Tenant Selection requirements at 24 CFR 92.253(d) as follows:
i. An owner of rental housing assisted with HOME funds must comply with the affirmative marketing requirements established by the City of Stockton pursuant to § 92.351(a).
ii. The owner must adopt and follow written tenant selection policies and criteria that:
1) Limit the housing to very low- income and low-income families; 2) Are reasonably related to the applicants' ability to perform the obligations of the lease (i.e., to pay the rent, not to damage the housing; not to interfere with the rights and quiet enjoyment of other tenants);
3) Limit eligibility or give a preference to a particular segment of the population if permitted in its written agreement with the City of Stockton (and only if the limitation or preference is described in the City of Stockton’s Consolidated Plan).
(i.) Any limitation or preference must not violate
nondiscrimination requirements in § 92.350. A limitation or preference does not violate nondiscrimination
requirements if the housing also receives funding from a Federal program that limits eligibility to a particular segment of the population (e.g., the Housing Opportunity for Persons with AIDS program under 24 CFR part 574, the Shelter Plus Care program under 24 CFR part 582, the
Supportive Housing program under 24 CFR part 583,
supportive housing for the elderly or persons with
disabilities under 24 CFR part 891), and the limit or
preference is tailored to serve that segment of the
population.
(ii.) If a project does not receive funding from a Federal program that limits eligibility to a particular segment of the population, the project may have a limitation or
preference for persons with disabilities who need services offered at a project only if:
(A.)The limitation or preference is limited to the
population of families (including individuals) with
ATTACHMENT E
501
49 disabilities that significantly interfere with their ability to obtain and maintain housing;
(B.)Such families will not be able to obtain or maintain themselves in housing without appropriate
supportive services; and
(C.) Such services cannot be provided in a
nonsegregated setting. The families must not be
required to accept the services offered at the
project. In advertising the project, the owner may
advertise the project as offering services for a
particular type of disability; however, the project
must be open to all otherwise eligible persons with
disabilities who may benefit from the services
provided in the project.
4) Do not exclude an applicant with a voucher under the Section 8 Tenant-Based Assistance: Housing Choice Voucher Program (24 CFR part 982) or an applicant participating in a HOME tenantbased rental assistance program because of the status of the prospective tenant as a holder of such voucher or comparable HOME tenant-based assistance document.
5) Provide for the selection of tenants from a written waiting list in the chronological order of their application, insofar as is practicable. The Continuum of Care’s (CoC) Coordinated Entry process is not a compliant tenant selection process therefore not permitted;
6) Give prompt written notification to any rejected applicant of the grounds for any rejection; and
7) Comply with the VAWA requirements prescribed in § 92.359.

1. Include written standards for providing ESG assistance (may include as attachment) See “ESG Written Standards” attachment.
2. If the Continuum of Care has established centralized or coordinated assessment system that meets HUD requirements, describe that centralized or coordinated assessment system.
The San Joaquin County Coordinated Entry System (CES) of the San Joaquin Continuum of Care (CoC) facilitates the coordination and management of resources and services for the homeless.
The function of CES is to quickly and equitably connect the highest need, most vulnerable persons in San Joaquin County to available housing and supportive services, to rapidly resolve their housing crisis and make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring in our region. In San Joaquin County, Family Resource and Referral Center is the administrator of CES through their 211 San Joaquin program. The CoC has adopted a “no wrong door” approach to coordinated entry, in which a homeless family or individual can present at any homeless housing and service provider in the geographic area but is assessed using the same tool and methodology so that referrals are consistently completed across the CoC. This means that in San Joaquin County, CES is not focused on moving households from the streets into shelter but rather from shelter into permanent housing.
Coordinated Entry is intended to act as the referral point to various permanent housing programs. Those in need of services contact an Access Point, typically an emergency shelter or 211 San Joaquin, to complete an assessment. The household will receive the same assessment regardless of which Access Point they engage. This assessment provides information on the household’s vulnerability and length of time experiencing homelessness, which is used to prioritize households for placement. After completing the assessment, the household is placed in a queue of households eligible to receive a referral into various housing programs. Once a housing program has an opening, the CES will provide the agency with a referral from the queue of those assessed, based upon the program’s eligibility criteria and the household’s vulnerability. Coordinated Entry prioritizes the most vulnerable households who also meet the eligibility requirements of available housing programs.

51 3. Identify the process for making sub-awards and describe how the ESG allocation available to private nonprofit organizations (including community and faith-based organizations).
The City of Stockton will implement the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program in accordance with The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act as amended by S.896 HEARTH Act of 2009, found at 24 CFR Part 576, to ensure eligible activities are selected and financially managed in accordance with local and federal requirements.
The competitive sub-award process begins with the Community Development Committee (CDC) annual Kick-off Meeting in the fall, as outlined in the Annual Action Plan schedule. The City updates the Annual Action Plan schedule, application, and guidelines, issues public notices, and releases the competitive Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA).
Applications for funding are submitted by mid-January. Staff reviews these applications for eligibility, organizational capacity, completeness, ESG requirements, consistency with the Consolidated Plan, and compliance with 24 CFR Part 576. After the City’s review a CDC meeting is held for eligible applicants to present their applications to the committee. During this meeting, CDC members review and score applications which assist in informing the City’s recommendations to City Council. Final scoring recommendations are presented to CDC and are taken to City Council along with the Annual Action Plan for approval. Ahead of the two public hearings (CDC and City Council) the public is informed of the public hearings and 30-day public comment period via a public hearing notice published in The Record (a local newspaper publication) and by posting the plan and related information on the City website. .
4. In April, the City Council reviews and votes on the funding recommendations at a publicly noticed meeting. The Annual Action Plan is then submitted to HUD via IDIS. Award letters are sent to subrecipients following submittal. If the jurisdiction is unable to meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR 576.405(a), the jurisdiction must specify its plan for reaching out to and consulting with homeless or formerly homeless individuals in considering policies and funding decisions regarding facilities and services funded under ESG.
Planning for homeless services is primarily done in collaboration with the CoC, which includes several Board members and active participants who have experienced homelessness. City staff also engage with homeless individuals through community discussion groups, listening sessions, and site visits to encampments and shelters to gather input on proposed policies, funding decisions, and service needs. Additionally, the involvement of paid staff and Board members with lived experiences in homelessness is considered during grant reviews and funding decisions.

When evaluating the programs, we will look to data collected in HMIS such as length of homelessness, employment status, and retention into permanent housing solutions to build reasonable and attainable performance measures for ESG funded programs.

53 City of Stockton Housing Element Assessment of Fair Housing and the Consolidated Plan
The City of Stockton’s 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and the 2023-2031 Housing Element are key components of the City’s strategy to address housing and community development needs over the next several years. The Consolidated Plan serves as a comprehensive framework for allocating federal funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), to support affordable housing and community development. The 2023-2031 Housing Element, required by the State of California, focuses specifically on ensuring that communities plan for sufficient housing to meet their growing and diverse needs. Both plans aim to create equitable access to housing and resources for all Stockton residents, particularly those who are lowincome or experiencing housing instability. The Consolidated Plan aims to address the issues outlined in the Housing Element and establish policies to ensure these problems are prioritized and mitigated.
The Housing Element includes the requirement for inclusion of an Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH). The requirements for the California AFH were modeled on the federal Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) guidelines and exceed what is required by a federal Analysis of Impediments (AI). By complying California Housing Element requirements, the City of Stockton is therefore in compliance with federal fair housing requirements and is identifying actions that increase fair housing.
Housing Element
The 2023-2031 Housing Element identified the following factors that contribute to fair housing issues: presence of concentrated racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty (R/ECAPs) in Greater Downtown, South Stockton, East Stockton, and between West Lane and Pacific Avenue in Northern Stockton; barriers to homeownership, particularly for communities of color; displacement risk due to economic pressures, particularly for lower-income households; disproportionately limited access to resources for lower-income and communities of color households; and high rates of unsheltered individuals and families.

Consolidated Plan
The 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan is designed to directly tackle the housing challenges identified in the Housing Element, with the goal of increasing the amount of affordable housing that is
ATTACHMENT E
507
55 accessible to Stockton residents. The activities the City will fund through its Consolidated Plan are not only aligned with the issues highlighted in the Housing Element, but also expand upon the key actions and strategies outlined in that document.
To further encourage affordable housing development, the City of Stockton has taken steps to reduce barriers to affordable housing development, such as modifying zoning requirements through the 2022 Density Waivers program, which allows for up to 136 units per acre in the Downtown Core. The city also offers fee reductions for builders and developers under the Stockton Economic Stimulus Plan (SESP) and has streamlined permit processing while reducing parking requirements for affordable housing and Transit Oriented Development projects. To address financial barriers, Stockton is working closely with housing developers and exploring new funding sources for both development and service provision.
Additionally, the City of Stockton employs a comprehensive outreach strategy to engage with homeless individuals, particularly unsheltered persons, through partnerships with local organizations. Outreach teams provide essential services and assess individual needs, using data from efforts like the annual Point-in-Time Count. The city offers Navigation Centers and low-barrier shelters for access to services and housing.
The Housing First approach guides Stockton’s efforts to address emergency and transitional housing needs, providing immediate housing without preconditions. Programs like Emergency Housing, Transitional Housing, and Rapid Rehousing help homeless individuals and families access housing and support services. Stockton also focuses on helping chronically homeless individuals, families, veterans, and unaccompanied youth transition to permanent housing and independent living. This includes Rapid Rehousing, Permanent Supportive Housing, and specialized services for specific populations. Finally, the city provides financial support through ESG subrecipient grants for homelessness prevention programs and services to assist lowincome individuals at risk of homelessness, especially those discharged from institutions or receiving social services, through programs like Emergency Rental Assistance and collaborations with local nonprofits and healthcare providers.
The City will fund the following projects during the 2025-2029 planning period to remove and prevent barriers to affordable housing:

57 City Of Stockton Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Written Standards Introduction
The ESG Program Interim Rule requires the ESG recipient to establish and consistently follow written standards for providing assistance with ESG funds (24 CFR 576.400 (e)). At a minimum, these written standards must include:
• Standard policies and procedures for evaluating individuals' and families' eligibility for assistance under Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG);
• Standards for targeting and providing essential services related to street outreach; • Policies and procedures for admission, diversion, referral, and discharge by emergency shelters assisted under ESG, including standards regarding length of stay, if any, and safeguards to meet the safety and shelter needs of special populations, e.g., victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking; and individuals and families who have the highest barriers to housing and are likely to be homeless the longest;
• Policies and procedures for assessing, prioritizing, and reassessing individuals' and families' needs for essential services related to emergency shelter; • Policies and procedures for coordination among emergency shelter providers, essential services providers, homelessness prevention, and rapid re-housing assistance providers; other homeless assistance providers; and mainstream service and housing providers (see § 576.400(b) and (c) for a list of programs with which ESG-funded activities must be coordinated and integrated to the maximum extent practicable); • Policies and procedures for determining and prioritizing which eligible families and individuals will receive homelessness prevention assistance and which eligible families and individuals will receive rapid re-housing assistance (these policies must include the emergency transfer priority required under § 576.409);
• Standards for determining what percentage or amount of rent and utilities costs each program participant must pay while receiving homelessness prevention or rapid rehousing assistance; • Standards for determining how long a particular program participant will be provided with rental assistance and whether and how the amount of that assistance will be adjusted over time; and
• Standards for determining the type, amount, and duration of housing stabilization and/or relocation services to provide to a program participant, including the limits, if any, on the homelessness prevention or rapid re-housing assistance that each program
ATTACHMENT E
510
58 participant may receive, such as the maximum amount of assistance, maximum number of months the program participant receive assistance; or the maximum number of times the program participant may receive assistance.
The goals of the written standards are to:
• Establish community-wide expectations on the operations of homeless services projects within the community
• Ensure that the system is transparent to users and operators • Establish a minimum set of standards to manage the quality of ESG-funded projects functioning in the community
• Make local priorities, as outlined in the Consolidated Plan • Create consistency and coordination between ESG-funded projects within the San Joaquin County Continuum of Care (CoC).
All subrecipients of City of Stockton ESG Program funding must follow these standards and must be applied consistently. Homeless service providers that do not receive ESG funds are strongly encouraged to utilize these written standards to ensure consistency in the delivery of services. Subrecipients of Stockton ESG funding must not adopt standards that conflict with those established by these City of Stockton ESG Written Standards, the CoC Program, or ESG Program interim rules.
This document outlines the Written Standards for ESG Service Delivery which meet HUD’s minimum requirements and addresses the City’s expectations for all projects. For each project type, the standards outline the purpose of the project type, eligibility criteria, prioritization, minimum standards of assistance, client access, and performance standards.
ESG General Standards
Homeless Participation
All recipients and sub-recipients of ESG program funds are required to follow the minimum standards for homeless participation. Minimum standards for homeless participation are:
• (24 CFR 578.75) / ESG (24 CFR 576.405):
o Each funded provider of ESG assistance must have at least one homeless individual or formerly homeless individual on the Board of Directors or equivalent policymaking entity of the provider.
o To the maximum extent possible, the provider shall involve homeless individuals and families in paid or volunteer work for the ESG programs.

59 Housing First
As the funding agency of ESG funds, HUD requires that the City align with the local Continuum of Care (CoC) homelessness funding policies. San Joaquin County is the lead agency of the local CoC and follows a Housing First approach.
Housing First is an approach to connect individuals and families experiencing homelessness quickly and successfully to permanent housing without preconditions and barriers to entry, such as sobriety, treatment, or service participation requirements. Housing First Policies were signed into law in California on September 29, 2016, with SB 1380 to add Chapter 6.5 (commencing with Section 8255) to Division 8 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, relating to homelessness. Supportive services are offered to maximize housing stability and prevent returns to homelessness as opposed to addressing predetermined treatment goals prior to permanent housing entry. Housing First is premised on the following principles:
• Homelessness is first, and foremost, a housing crisis and can be addressed through the provision of safe and affordable housing.
• All people experiencing homelessness, regardless of their housing history and duration of homelessness, can achieve housing stability in permanent housing. Some may need very little support for a brief period, while others may need more intensive and longterm supports. • Everyone is “housing ready.” Sobriety, compliance in treatment, or clean criminal records are not necessary to succeed in housing. Rather, homelessness programs and housing providers must be “consumer ready”.
• Many people experience improvements in quality of life, in the areas of health, mental health, substance use, and employment, as a result of achieving housing. • People experiencing homelessness have the right to self-determination and should be treated with dignity and respect.
• The exact configuration of housing and services depends upon the needs and preferences of the population.
Housing First Core Features
1) Few to no programmatic prerequisites to permanent housing entry – People experiencing homelessness are offered permanent housing with no programmatic preconditions such as demonstration of sobriety, completion of alcohol or drug treatment, or agreeing to comply with a treatment regimen upon entry into the
ATTACHMENT E
512
60 program. People are also not required to first enter a transitional housing program in order to enter permanent housing.
2) Low barrier admission policies – Permanent Supportive Housing’s admissions policies are
• Designed to “screen-in” rather than screen-out applicants with the greatest barriers to housing, such as having no or very low income, poor rental history and past evictions, or criminal histories. Housing programs may have tenant selection policies that prioritize people who have been homeless the longest or who have the highest service needs as evidenced by vulnerability assessments or the high utilization of crisis services.
• Rapid and streamlined entry into housing – Many people experiencing chronic homelessness may experience anxiety and uncertainty during a lengthy housing application and approval process. In order to ameliorate this, Housing First permanent supportive housing models make efforts to help people experiencing homelessness move into permanent housing as quickly as possible, streamlining application and approval processes, and reducing wait times. • Supportive services are voluntary but can and should be used to persistently engage tenants to ensure housing stability - Supportive services are proactively offered to help tenants achieve and maintain housing stability, but tenants are not required to participate in services as a condition of tenancy. Techniques such as harm reduction and motivational interviewing may be useful. Harm reduction techniques can confront and mitigate the harms of drug and alcohol use through non-judgmental communication while motivational interviewing may be useful in helping households acquire and utilize new skills and information. • Tenants have full rights, responsibilities, and legal protections – The goal of the Housing First approach is to help people experiencing homelessness achieve long-term housing stability in permanent housing. Permanent housing is defined as housing where tenants have leases that confer the full rights, responsibilities, and legal protections under Federal, state, and local housing laws. Tenants are educated about their lease terms, given access to legal assistance, and encouraged to exercise their full legal rights and responsibilities. Landlords and providers in Housing First models abide by their legally defined roles and obligations. For instance, landlords and providers do not enter tenants’ apartments without tenants’ knowledge and permission except under legally defined emergency circumstances. Many Housing First permanent supportive housing programs also have a tenant association or council to review program
ATTACHMENT E
513
61 policies and provide feedback, and formal processes for tenants to submit suggestions or grievances.
• Practices and policies to prevent lease violations and evictions – Housing First supportive housing programs should incorporate practices and policies that prevent lease violations and evictions among tenants. For instance, program policies consistent with a Housing First approach do not consider alcohol or drug use to be lease violations. Housing First models may also have policies that give tenants some flexibility and recourse in the rent payment, which in many subsidized housing programs is 30% of the participant’s income. For example, rather than moving towards eviction proceedings due to missed rent payments, programs may allow tenants to enter payment installment plans for rent arrearages or offer money management assistance to tenants. • Applicable in a variety of housing models – The Housing First approach can be implemented in different types of supportive housing settings, including:
scattered-site models in private market apartments, where rental assistance is provided, and tenants have access to mobile and site-based supportive services; single-site models in which permanent supportive housing buildings are newly constructed or rehabilitated and tenants have access to voluntary on-site services; and set-asides, where supportive services are offered to participants in designated units within affordable housing developments.
Homelessness Definition (24 CFR 578.3)
For the purposes of this document and for determining the status of persons experiencing homelessness, the definition of homeless persons will be supported by the HUD definition of Homelessness as follows:

I. Introduction
The City of Stockton Economic Development Department (EDD or Department) develops this Community Participation Plan as part of the requirements to receive federal funds for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) programs. The Community Participation Plan defines the public engagement the EDD will lead in developing its five-year Consolidated Plan, each related Annual Action Plan, each Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), Assessment of Fair Housing, and any Substantial Amendments to the Consolidated Plan or its five Annual Action Plans.
The Consolidated Plan and each year's Action Plan guide the City's use of federal funds which are made available from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The CAPER provides an assessment of funds expended and a quantitative analysis of program or project outcomes.
The EDD is the lead agency within the City of Stockton for development and implementation of the Consolidated Plan and Action Plan. The Community Development Committee (CDC), a seven-member advisory board to the City Council comprised of representatives from each Council district and one from the community at-large, plays a key role in the community participation process. The CDC holds public meetings, collects comments, and provides forums for the discussion of community development and housing needs. Other groups, such as the San Joaquin County Continuum of Care, may also be asked to participate.
This document is designed to meet HUD’s basic requirements for community participation in accordance with 24 CFR Part 91.105.
II. Development of Consolidated & Annual Action Plans
The City of Stockton must prepare a Consolidated Plan every five years and an Annual Action Plan annually. The CDC will hold a series of public meetings during the development of these plans that will include identification of community housing and non-housing needs, prioritization of needs, development of strategies to meet the identified needs and budget recommendations to implement those strategies. Community outreach, as outlined in Section V of this Plan, shall be utilized to encourage participation in the development of these Plans. The CDC will hold at least one meeting annually to review program performance, allow community input regarding the City’s community development and housing needs, and to provide information regarding priorities and proposed activities to community members.
Local and regional institutions, including the San Joaquin County Continuum of Care, the Housing Authority of the County of San Joaquin, businesses, developers, and nonprofit organizations will also be consulted during the preparation of the Consolidated Plan.
In the years when a Consolidated Plan is prepared, a notification on the availability of the draft Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan shall be published in one or more newspapers of general circulation. Prior to the City Council public hearing to consider the documents, draft
ATTACHMENT H
532
copies of the plans will be available for review as outlined in Section V of this Plan. On years when a Consolidated Plan is not required, the above steps shall be followed for the Annual Action Plan. The final plans will be available on the EDD’s website.
Prior to adopting the Consolidated Plan, the City will publish information about anticipated funding amounts (including grants and program income), eligible activities, estimated low/moderate-income benefit, and anti-displacement plans including available relocation assistance. This information will be made available on the City website and in print at the Economic Development Department for a 30-day public comment period. The City Council will hold a public hearing before Plan adoption, and all comments received during the comment period or at the hearing will be considered, summarized, and attached to the Plan prior to HUD submission, including any comments not accepted and the reasons therefore.
III. Amendments
Amendments will be necessary whenever any of the criteria under each plan listed below is considered. Substantial amendments to any of the plans will be subject to the public participation requirements of this Community Participation Plan.
Consolidated Plan Amendment Considerations
A substantial amendment to the Consolidated Plan is defined as:
• Changes to the Consolidated Plan allocation priorities. • An addition or deletion of Consolidated Plan goals.
Annual Action Plan Amendment Considerations
A “substantial amendment” to an Annual Action Plan is defined as:
• Addition of a new project or activity not previously identified in the Annual Action Plan’s Sources & Uses as presented to City Council.
• Deletion or cancellation, during the program year, of a project or activity identified in the Annual Action Plan that has NOT been deemed ineligible or NOT determined to be infeasible.
• Changes to the funding distribution method, or the reallocation of funds between eligible project activities included in the approved Annual Action Plan, which exceeds 25 percent (25%) of the City’s annual entitlement. Reallocation of funds between eligible project activities below this threshold will be considered an administrative modification not subject to public hearing requirements of this plan; however, City Council approval will be conducted as required by City policy.
Administrative Updates
Changes to the Annual Action Plan that do not meet substantial amendment criteria include:
• Grammatical or structural edits that do not substantially change the scope or meaning of activity; and changes in the coding or eligibility determination of a project that does not change the scope, location, or beneficiaries.
• Proportional adjustments to the HUD covered programs, after City Council approval, to accommodate official HUD allocation amounts.
ATTACHMENT H
533
• Reallocation of fund balance, in any amount, from a completed activity, during the program year, to another approved project or activity. In any case where the reallocation of funds occurs, the reallocation will be reported accordingly in the respective year’s CAPER.
• At EDD discretion, other types of changes that do not significantly alter the overall goals, priorities, or allocation of funds may be conducted administratively by the EDD and are not subject to the public hearing requirements of this Community Participation Plan.
Public Notice & Comment
The EDD will provide affected residents with a period of not less than 30 calendar days to make comments on a substantial amendment before it is implemented. Public notice shall include how and where to submit comments on the proposed changes. A summary of these comments, and a summary of comments not accepted and the reasons, therefore, shall be attached to the substantial amendment that is submitted to HUD.
Acceptable methods of meeting the community participation requirements include:
• Publication of the availability of substantial change(s) in a local newspaper. The publication will provide a link to the EDD web page which will provide more detailed information on the substantial amendment(s) and how to provide comments. • Publication of any proposed change shall appear in a local newspaper whose primary circulation is within the area serving the community of affected residents and include how to provide comments.
• Advertisement of the availability of the proposed change on the EDD website and include how to provide comments.
• Posting notices on the EDD website and social media accounts, including how to provide comments.
• Holding public meetings with the Community Development Committee (CDC) to receive input on the substantial amendment.
Disaster/Emergency Events that may Require Expedited Substantial Amendments It may be necessary to expedite substantial amendments to the Consolidated Plan in the event of a declared (local, state, or national) disaster or emergency. There are three types of disasters/emergency events that may necessitate an expedited substantial amendment including:
1. Man-Made-disasters: examples include chemical spills, power outages, dam failure, plant explosions, etc.
2. Natural disasters: examples include earthquakes, wildfires, flooding, and public health emergencies (such as COVID-19)
3. Terrorism: examples include bomb threats, biochemical attacks like the spread of anthrax, or cyber-attacks like hacking, phishing, and virus distribution, etc.
These expedited substantial amendments may include funding new activities and/or the reprogramming of funds including canceling Annual Action Plan planned activities to meet needs resulting from a declared disaster or emergency. Therefore, the EDD may utilize CDBG, HOME, or ESG funds to meet these needs with a five (5) day public comment period instead of a 30-day public comment period, which is otherwise required for substantial amendments.
ATTACHMENT H
534
With respect to a declared disaster, the EDD may elect to use CDBG, HOME, or ESG funds to address needs not provided for by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Small Business Administration (SBA), or other disaster relief efforts. Funding for disaster relief may not duplicate other efforts undertaken by federal or local sources unless allowed by the federal government. Potential eligible uses of funds are those that are included in this Community Participation Plan, the Consolidated Plan, or any other CDBG, HOME, or ESG eligible use. HUD may provide new guidance on eligible uses or waivers for alternate protocols which the EDD will comply with and may utilize as well.
Submission of Amendments and Administrative Updates to HUD The EDD will submit Substantial Amendments to HUD on a rolling basis or at the end of the program year. Administrative Updates are not formally noticed to the public, nor submitted to HUD. However, documentation describing general changes and/or identifying specific changes will be included in the annual Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), which is made available to the public.
IV. Consolidated Annual Performance & Evaluation Report
The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) identifies the final budget expenditure and performance results for each Annual Action Plan activity from the currently completed program year and any outstanding activities from prior program years.
The CAPER shall be submitted to HUD within 90 days from the close of the City's CDBG/HOME program year. The City's program year corresponds to the City's fiscal year which runs from July 1 to June 30 of each year. The CAPER shall be submitted to HUD by September 28.
Prior to submission to HUD there shall be a 15-day public review/comment period. During this time, the CDC shall review the document. The CDC will hold a public meeting to review the CAPER as outlined in Section V of this Plan. Any public comments received during the comment period shall be considered and shall be summarized and attached to the CAPER prior to submission to HUD.
V. Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing & the Assessment of Fair Housing Effective July 31, 2021, HUD’s 2021 Interim Final Rule (IFR), “Restoring Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Definitions and Certifications,” requires program participants to submit certifications that they will affirmatively further fair housing in connection with their consolidated plan, annual action plans, and public housing agencies (PHA) plans. Program participants who are covered by the statutory Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) rule include jurisdictions that are required to submit a Consolidated Plan in connection with the receipt of CDBG, HOME, or ESG funding.
In the state of California, jurisdictions are also required to complete a Housing Element with an Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH), which meets current federal fair housing analysis requirements thereby complying with the AFFH mandate. The EDD will participate in the City’s
ATTACHMENT H
535
Housing Element process and incorporate the AFH findings, goals, and strategies into its Consolidated and Annual Action Plans. The EDD will also integrate fair housing topics, findings, and actions into its public engagement and consultation for the Plans.
VI. Outreach
Community Development Committee
The Community Development Committee (CDC) is an advisory board to the City Council comprised of representatives from each Council district and one from the community at-large.
The Council may augment its membership from time to time to assure and increase the broadness of total community representation. All nominees shall be residents of the City of Stockton.
Technical assistance from City staff shall be available to the CDC so that its members may adequately participate in planning, implementing, and assessing programs. Technical assistance will also be available to other community organizations, particularly those that represent persons of low and moderate income, in developing proposals or organizing neighborhood groups.
Federal regulations place the ultimate responsibility for the development of the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan and the execution of the programs and activities on the grantee; hence the CDC constitutes the formal, advisory community participation body to the City Council.
The functions of the CDC shall be as follows:
1. Provide a forum for the community, particularly those likely to be affected by community and housing activities, in areas where residents are of low and moderate income (defined below).
a. Lower income: households with 50% to 80% of Area Median Income (AMI); the term may also be used to mean 0% to 80% of AMI
b. Moderate income: households with 80% to 120% of AMI
2. Disseminates program information including, but not limited to, the following:
a. Amount of funds available annually under each program b. Range of eligible activities
c. The identification of various community development and housing programs that become available
d. The processes involved in developing the application and the schedule of meetings and hearings
e. The role of community in the program
f. Any other important program requirements
3. The CDC shall be involved in development of the Consolidated Plan including the annual applications for the Community Development Block Grant Program, the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, the Emergency Solutions Grant Program, and similar
ATTACHMENT H
536
housing programs or plans including subsequent amendments or basic changes to any of the above.
CDC appointment terms shall be staggered to follow the term of the appointing Council member.
Upon re-election, Council members may elect to appoint a new CDC member.
Public Meetings & Hearings
The City will hold at least two public hearings annually that together address: housing and community development needs, development of proposed activities, proposed strategies for affirmatively furthering fair housing, and review of program performance. At least one hearing will be held before the CDC to obtain community input, and one before the City Council to present recommendations and consider approval.
Notice of all public hearings shall be published in a paper of general circulation not less than ten days prior to the date of the hearing. The notice shall include the time, day and date of the hearing, its location, a general statement regarding its purpose and any other more specific information required by the Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, amendments, or CAPER.
During the program year, public meetings and hearings related to the Consolidated and Annual Action Plans will be held at times and locations convenient to potential or actual beneficiaries and with accessibility to the handicapped. Proper notice shall be given, which includes posting the agenda a minimum of 72 hours prior to the meeting. Minutes shall be taken of all public hearings that meet quorum and shall be available for public review online at www.stocktonca.gov and at the Office of the City Clerk during regular working hours.
CDC meetings shall be scheduled and convened at least quarterly. Meetings and hearings may be convened by City staff or by the City Council as appropriate and in conformance with federal regulations to accomplish the following:
1. To obtain the views of communities, public agencies, and other interested parties, to comment on the extent to which funds are used for the benefit of lower income households, and what provisions should be taken by the City to minimize displacement of households by assisted activities.
2. To afford affected communities an opportunity to comment on proposed applications for federal assistance, plans, and substantial amendments as may be required by federal regulations, including, but not limited to, the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan.
3. To afford communities an opportunity to review the programs’ progress and performance as described in program reports prepared from time to time pursuant to federal regulations.
Language Access Plan for Limited English Proficient Persons The City of Stockton has a diverse population where many languages are spoken. To the extent required by the City’s Language Access Plan (LAP), the EDD will make every effort to ensure
ATTACHMENT H
537
that Limited English Proficient (LEP) persons (those that meet LAP required thresholds) have meaningful access to federally funded programs and services.
Regardless of which language a person speaks or their ability to speak English, the EDD will make every effort to ensure that LEP persons have meaningful access to federal funding services and documents through either oral translators or written interpretation of vital documents, upon request.
Language Access Plan
The EDD has conducted the four-factor analysis and developed its own Language Access Plan (LAP) to ensure that LEP persons (that meet the federally required threshold) have meaningful access to federally funded programs and services.
The four-factor analysis is as follows:
• Factor 1: Determine the number or proportion of LEP persons served or encountered in the eligible service area.
• Factor 2: Determine the frequency with which LEP persons encounter the CDBG, HOME, and/or ESG funded programs.
• Factor 3: Determine the importance of the information, services, program, or activity to people’s lives.
• Factor 4: Assess costs versus resources and benefits in providing language services.
Accessibility & Special Accommodations
In accordance with the Americans With Disabilities Act and California Law, it is the policy of the City of Stockton to offer its public programs, services, and meetings in a manner that is readily accessible to everyone, including those with disabilities. Copies of a public hearing notice, or an agenda and/or agenda packet in an appropriate alternative format, or other accommodation, may be obtained by contacting the Office of the City Clerk located at 425 North El Dorado Street, Stockton, California 95202 during normal business hours or by calling (209) 937-8458, at least 5 days in advance of the hearing/meeting. Advance notification within this guideline will enable the City/Agency to make reasonable arrangements to ensure accessibility.
For items expecting to affect a specific neighborhood or population, additional accommodations, including providing notices in various languages or providing interpreters at neighborhood meetings, will be considered.

The level and type of assistance provided shall be on a case-by-case basis as determined by the EDD Director or their designee.
VII. Anti-Displacement & Relocation
Anti-Displacement Policy
The City seeks to minimize, to the greatest extent possible, the involuntary displacement, whether permanently or temporarily, of persons (families, individuals, businesses, nonprofit organizations, or farms) from CDBG, ESG, or HOME funded activities.
Projects that the City deems beneficial but that may cause displacement may be recommended and approved for funding only if the City demonstrates that such displacement is necessary and vital to the project and that they take efforts to reduce the number of persons displaced. Further, it must be clearly demonstrated that the goals and anticipated accomplishments of a project outweigh the adverse effects of displacement imposed on persons who must relocate This section describes the City’s Anti-displacement and Relocation Plan and how it will assist persons who will be temporarily relocated or permanently displaced due to the use of HUD funds. This plan takes effect whenever the City sponsors projects using CDBG, ESG, or HOME funds that involve the following:
• Property acquisition; or
• The demolition or rehabilitation/conversion of low- and moderate-income dwelling units.
ATTACHMENT H
539
Two acts place obligations on the City if any of the above issues are present:
1. The Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Policies Act of 1970 (URA); and
2. Section 104(d) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974.
What is Displacement?
Displacement occurs when a person moves as a direct result of a federally assisted acquisition, demolition, conversion, or rehabilitation activities because they are:
• Required to move;
• Not offered a decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable unit in the project; or • Treated “unreasonably” as part of a permanent or temporary move.
What is a Displaced Person?
The term displaced person means any person that moves from real property or moves their personal property from real property permanently as a direct result of one or more of the following activities:
• Acquisition of, or written notice of intent to acquire, or the initiation of negotiations to acquire, such real property, in whole or in part, for a project. • Rehabilitation or demolition of such real property for a project. • Rehabilitation, demolition, or acquisition (or written notice of intent) of all or a part of other real property on which the person conducts a business or farm operation, for a project.
A person may also be considered displaced if the necessary notices are not given or provided in a timely manner and the person moves for any reason.
Persons Not Eligible for Assistance
A person is not eligible for relocation assistance under the provisions of the URA if any of the following occurs:
• The person was evicted for serious or repeated violation of the terms and conditions of the lease or occupancy agreement, violation of applicable Federal, State, or local law, or other good cause. However, if the person was evicted only to avoid the application of URA, then that person is considered displaced and is eligible for assistance. • The person has no legal right to occupy the property under State or local law. • The City determines that the person occupied the property to obtain relocation assistance and the HUD Field Office concurs in that determination. • The person is a tenant-occupant that moved into the property after a certain date, specified in the applicable program regulation, and, before leasing and occupying the property, the City provided the tenant-occupant written notice of the application for assistance, the project's impact on the person, and the fact that he or she would not qualify as a “displaced person” because of the project. • The person is a tenant-occupant of a substandard dwelling that is acquired or a tenantoccupant of a dwelling unit to which emergency repairs are undertaken, and the HUD field office concurs that:
o Such repairs or acquisition will benefit the tenant;
o Bringing the unit up to a safe, decent, and sanitary condition is not feasible;
ATTACHMENT H
540
o The tenant’s new rent and average estimated monthly utility costs will not exceed the greater of: the old rent/utility costs or 30 percent of gross household income; and
o The project will not impose any unreasonable change in the character or use of the property.
o The person is an owner-occupant of the property who moves because of an arm’s length acquisition;
o The City notifies the person that they will not displace him or her for the project; o The person retains the right of use and occupancy of the real property following the acquisition; or
o The City determines that the person is not displaced as a direct result of the acquisition, rehabilitation, or demolition for the project and the HUD field office concurs in the determination.
Minimizing Displacement
The City will take reasonable steps to minimize displacement occurring as a result of its CDBG, ESG, and HOME activities. This means that the City will:
• Consider if displacement will occur as part of funding decisions and project feasibility determinations;
• Assure, whenever possible that occupants of buildings to be rehabilitated are offered an opportunity to return;
• Plan substantial rehabilitation projects in “stages” to minimize displacement; and • Meet all HUD notification requirements so that affected persons do not move because they have not been informed
Displacement and Relocation Assistance
If the City temporarily displaces a household or business, that household or business becomes eligible for certain relocation payments. The assistance applies to those persons or business occupying the property at the time the application is processed and is based on the following procedures:
• If the structure and its occupants are determined eligible for temporary relocation assistance, the owner-occupants and/or tenants are eligible for the actual reasonable cost (based on fair market rent) of temporary lodging facilities until the structure is determined habitable by a housing or building inspector authorized by the City to make the determination;
• The City must approve housing and the Lessor and Lessee must sign a rent agreement before move-in. Housing must be comparable functionally to the displacement dwelling and decent, safe, and sanitary. This does not mean that the housing must be in comparable size. The term “functionally equivalent” means that it performs the same function, has the same principal features present, and can contribute to a comparable style of living. Approved lodging accommodations include apartments and houses. The City does not reimburse “rental expenses” for living with a friend or family member; • The City may facilitate moving and storage of furniture with a moving company; • Damage deposits, utility hookups, telephone hookups and insurance costs are not eligible for reimbursement; and
• The City may pay the cost of relocation assistance from available Federal funds

Change in Use of Real Property
The standards described in this section apply to real property within the administering agency’s control, which is acquired or improved in whole or in part using more than $25,000 in CDBG funds (24 CFR §570.505). These standards shall apply from the date CDBG funds are spent for the property until five years after closeout of the grant from which the assistance to the property was provided.
A recipient cannot change the use or planned use of any property (including beneficiaries of such use) from that for which the acquisition or improvement was made unless the recipient provides affected residents with an opportunity to comment on, any change, and either:
1. The new use of such property qualifies as meeting one of the national objectives and is not a building for the general conduct of government; or
2. The recipient determines, after consultation with affected residents, that it is appropriate to change the property’s use to another use which does not meet a national objective and reimburses the CDBG program in the amount of the current fair market value of the property, less any portion of the value attributable to expenditures of non-CDBG funds for the acquisition of and improvements to the property.
Community members will be informed of changes in the use or planned use of the property by means of a notice, which will be published in a newspaper of general circulation that serves the community of affected residents. The notice will provide a description of the proposed change in use or planned use of the property and will also advise how and where to submit comments. The public will have an opportunity to comment on the proposed change in use or planned use of the property for a period of no less than 15 days.1
VIII. Complaints
The City will answer complaints in a timely and responsive manner. The City will make every reasonable effort to provide written responses to complaints within 15 working days, where practicable. Complaints received will be handled at the lowest possible staff level affected directly and then will be referred through the normal chain of command: supervisor, division head, department director, City Manager’s office. Ultimately, the community member may address a complaint directly to the City Council if they feel their grievance has not been resolved.
1 Further details on changes in use requirements are set forth in the CDBG regulations at 24 CFR § 570.505.

I. Language Access Plan Overview
The City of Stockton has a diverse population where many languages are spoken. A substantial number of persons that speak these languages do not speak English or speak English less than very well and are considered Limited English Proficient (LEP).
In accordance with federal, state and local law, specifically Executive Order 13166, Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Guidance, and Section 7290 et seq. of the California Government Codes (“Dymally-Alatorre Bilingual Services Act”), the City of Stockton’s Economic Development Department (EDD or Department) will provide meaningful access to persons with LEP for its HUD-funded programs and activities and undertake reasonable efforts to provide or arrange free language assistance for LEP applicants or participants.
Policy Statement
It is EDD’s policy to provide timely, meaningful access for persons with LEP to all HUD-funded EDD programs, services, and activities. Individuals who have a limited ability to read, speak, write, or understand English may be entitled to free language assistance with respect to a particular type of service, benefit, or encounter. EDD will provide free language assistance services to persons with LEP whenever an individual with LEP requests language assistance services.
EDD’s Language Access Plan (LAP) will be publicly available on the EDD website at www.stocktonca.gov/EDD or from the EDD’s main office upon request. EDD continuously seeks to improve and expand the services it provides to enable persons with LEP to communicate with the EDD in person, over the telephone, in writing, or through electronic forms.
EDD will re-evaluate the LAP as needed or at least every five years to maintain compliance with the requirements set forth in Executive Order 13166 and other LEP related guidance, and to ensure that the LEP communities have continuous, meaningful access to HUD-funded EDD programs, services, and activities.
Purpose and Authority
The purpose of this language policy and Language Access Plan (LAP) is to establish effective guidelines, in accordance with federal and state requirements, for EDD personnel to follow when providing services to, or interacting with persons with LEP to ensure all persons have meaningful access to HUD programs and activities administered by EDD.
II. Plan Development and Implementation
The goal of language access planning and implementation is to ensure that EDD provides meaningful access to all HUD-funded EDD activities, services, and programs to individuals with LEP and ensure effective communication at all points of contact.
Implementation includes the dissemination and accessibility of the LAP to all personnel within EDD, and ensure it is available to applicants, assisted families, and the public upon request.
ATTACHMENT I
545
Further implementation of the LAP includes providing appropriate language assistance services to the LEP population EDD serves, including oral interpretation, bilingual staff, written translation services, and notice of availability of LEP services.
III. Needs Assessment: Four Factor Analysis
EDD regularly assesses whether the needs of current and potential program participants are met and works to identify the agency’s capacity to meet these needs in accordance with the policies outlined in this plan. These self-assessments assist EDD in identifying language barriers that may delay effective oral and written communication between EDD and persons with LEP.
Language data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) was used to identify the languages spoken in limited English-speaking households in Stockton (see Table 1 below). This data assisted EDD in determining the extent to which services are needed in various languages and to ensure EDD is meeting the needs of the people with LEP whom it serves.
HUD’s LEP guidance sets forth a four-factor analysis to use to determine the extent of EDD’s commitment to provide services to individuals with LEP. This LAP used the four-factor analysis to determine the appropriate language assistance services to ensure that persons with LEP have meaningful access to EDD’s HUD-funded services, activities, and programs.
Factor 1: Determine the number or proportion of LEP individuals in the eligible service population.
An analysis of data from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2023 American Community Survey (ACS) 1- Year Estimates Detailed Household Language by Household English Limited English-Speaking Status (Table S16002) shows the following for Stockton:
Top Language groupings of

ATTACHMENT I
546
Key findings:
• Limited English Proficiency in Spanish: This data shows that Spanish speaking residents of Stockton comprise the highest numbers of those needing language access. o Nearly 7,000 Households: Approximately 6,934 Spanish-speaking households reported speaking English less than very well.
o Almost 7% of the total Stockton Households: Spanish-speaking households that have limited-English skills constitute 6.8% of the total number of households in Stockton.
• Limited English Proficiency in Other Asian Languages: The analysis revealed a considerable number of Limited English speaking households in Chinese languages (including Mandarin and Cantonese), Vietnamese, and Tagalog. o More than 1,000 Limited English Speaking Chinese households: 1,061 households reported speaking English less than very well in Chinese-language speaking households, including Mandarin and Cantonese.
o Nearly 500 Limited English Speaking Vietnamese households: 489 households reported speaking English less than very well in Vietnamese-speaking households. o Nearly 200 Limited English Speaking Tagalog households: 195 households reported speaking English less than very well in Tagalog-speaking households. • Supporting Evidence: This analysis aligns with the City of Stockton EDD's experience and current practices serving LEP residents and resonates with the feedback provided by local community organizations.
Factor 2: The frequency LEP individuals encounter the program.
The frequency of contact with LEP individuals should be considered relative to the specific program and the geographic area being served. Specifically, the more frequently a LEP person from a specific group contracts or requests access to a program, the greater the need for enhanced language services for this group. For example, providing small business assistance will typically require ongoing communication, which may require enhanced language services such as written and/or oral translations. Other activities, such as a complaint process, may require less frequent contact and only limited language services.
The percent of households EDD serves with Spanish identified as their preferred language is significantly smaller than the 6.8% of Spanish-speaking households identified in the 2023 Census estimates. EDD staff encounter Spanish speaking participants and members of the public on an infrequent basis. Despite this, staff will continue to monitor the frequency of calls from Spanish-speaking members of the public to monitor the efficiency of the LAP and identify best practices moving forward.
Factor 3: The nature and importance of the program, activity, or service provided by EDD to LEP individuals.
To fully benefit from our programs, all participants and members of the public, regardless of their preferred language, should have the ability to understand EDD programs, services, and
ATTACHMENT I
547
activities. Additionally, a clear understanding of program requirements and regulations is crucial for obtaining services, adhering to participant obligations, and maintaining program eligibility.
The more important the activity, or the greater the possible consequences of the contact to LEP persons, the more likely the need for language services. As a measure for determining whether a document requires translation, EDD considers the threshold of a “vital document.” Per the HUD guidance, “vital documents” are those that are critical for ensuring meaningful access by beneficiaries or potential beneficiaries generally and LEP persons specifically.
Factor 4: Determine the resources available to assist LEP individuals.
To identify resources for Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals, EDD explored costeffective methods for delivering language services. EDD utilizes qualified translation services for vital and non-vital document translations and certified translation/interpretation services for oral interpretations when needed. These services ensure translators/interpreters meet the qualifications necessary to provide EDD with timely and accurate translators/interpreters services. EDD employs certified staff who frequently review vendor translated documents for accuracy.
Reasonable steps to provide language access may cease to be reasonable when costs substantially exceed the benefits. However, EDD will utilize strategies to maximize services and minimize costs when necessary, such as centralizing, sharing, or contracting interpretation and translation services with other City departments or neighboring jurisdictions to achieve economies of scale.
Providing LEP Assistance
EDD has implemented and will continue to implement the following actions to provide resources for LEP individuals:
• Hiring and training bilingual staff.
• Offering third-party interpretation services over the phone at no cost to LEP individuals when necessary.
• Utilizing written translation services to produce materials in Spanish. • Providing Spanish interpretation services for in-person and virtual public meetings, as well as other languages upon request.
• Training public-facing employees on the available EDD language assistance services.
EDD will also explore procuring third-party interpretation services to support these efforts.
IV. Language Assistance Services and Translations
EDD staff will assist persons with LEP who cannot read their preferred language to the same extent as staff would assist English-speaking clients who cannot read English. EDD arranges translation and interpretation services as needed for those who do not speak English and uses professional translation services to ensure persons with LEP have meaningful access to equitable, timely, and high-quality language assistance services.
EDD employs staff who are bilingual in Spanish and English. Bilingual skills are certified through formal testing methods. This process is administered by the standard testing program
ATTACHMENT I
548
through the Personnel Department of the City of Stockton. EDD’s bilingual staff ensures our ability to respond to individuals with LEP via phone, in-person contact and through written communications in Spanish. To further ensure meaningful accessibility, the EDD website has a language option that directs individuals with LEP to EDD information translated to 80 languages.
V. Staff Training
All EDD staff are made aware of the Department’s language access requirements and provided with this plan. Newly hired staff are also trained in EDD’s language access requirements as part of their orientation. Staff receive on the job training on EDD’s programs, activities and services for persons with LEP.
The Language Access Plan will be:
• Distributed to all supervisors and staff in positions that are likely to come in contact with members of the public and program participants.
• Available at the EDD main office.
• Posted on the EDD website.
• Explained in orientation and training sessions for supervisors and other staff who need to communicate with people with LEP.
• Placed in EDD’s shared forms and procedures directory so all staff have access to the LAP as needed.
Staff are instructed to arrange for a professional interpreter through a Work Order Request Form submitted to administrative staff when an applicant or participant speaks a language other than English.
VI. Vital Document Translation (Safe Harbor Provisions) EDD provides written translations of vital documents for each eligible LEP language group that constitutes 5 percent (5%) or 1,000 individuals, whichever is less, of the population of persons eligible to be served or likely to be affected or encountered.
EDD has determined that because there are more than 5% and more than 1,000 Spanish-speakers in Stockton who speak English “less than very well,” vital documents will continue to be translated into Spanish as needed. As of the date of this LAP publication, Spanish is the only language into which vital documents are translated. However, vital documents will be translated into other languages on an as-needed basis and upon request.
EDD has determined which vital documents are critical for ensuring meaningful access or awareness of rights or services, by beneficiaries or potential beneficiaries generally and persons with LEP specifically.
Vital forms and documents include, but are not limited to:
ATTACHMENT I
549
1. Pre- and Initial Applications to receive EDD benefits and services, including program guidelines and fact sheets.
2. Consent and Complaint forms.
3. Written Notices of rights, obligations, denial, loss, or decreases in benefits or services, and public hearings.
4. Letters from EDD asking the applicant, recipient, or participant to take action.
5. Any other document considered vital by EDD staff.
VII. Availability of Language Assistance at No Cost
All EDD staff are responsible for ensuring all persons accessing EDD programs, activities, and services, including people with limited English proficiency (LEP), are treated fairly. EDD shall provide meaningful access to equitable, timely, and quality language assistance services to individuals with LEP.
EDD shall:
• Post signs in all areas accessible by visitors and program participants. • Make this Language Access Plan available on the EDD website at www.stocktonca.gov.
VIII. Monitoring and Updating the Language Access Plan (LAP) EDD is committed to ensuring people with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) have equal access to all EDD programs and services.
EDD shall:
• Re-evaluate the LAP every five years: EDD will review this plan as needed but at least every five years to ensure individuals with LEP have continuous, meaningful access to equitable, timely, and quality language assistance services. • Maintain compliance with Executive Order 13166: EDD will ensure this LAP meets the requirements of this law.
• Other LEP related guidance: EDD will ensure this LAP complies with other federal and state guidelines that address how to serve LEP communities and consider these guidelines when updating this LAP.
• Ensure LEP communities have continuous meaningful access: EDD is committed to ensuring persons with LEP have equitable access to our programs, services, and activities and can achieve meaningful participation. This commitment includes providing translated vital and non-vital documents, access to interpreters, and employing bilingual staff.
By regularly reviewing the Language Access Plan, EDD can continuously provide LEP communities equal opportunities and access all HUD-funded EDD programs and services, contributing to a more just and equitable Stockton that empowers all community members.

I. Overview of Section 3 Requirements
A. What is Section 3?
Section 3 is a provision of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 (12 U.S.C. 1701u) that is regulated by the provisions of 24 CFR Part 75.
Section 3 ensures that jobs and economic opportunities generated by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funded projects, to the greatest extent feasible, and consistent with existing Federal State, and local laws and regulations, go to low-income persons, particularly those receiving housing assistance, and businesses that employ them.
B. Purpose of This Document
This plan outlines how the City of Stockton’s Economic Development Department (EDD) and its subrecipients, contractors and subcontractors will comply with HUD’s Section 3 requirements in implementing the City of Stockton’s Consolidated Plan funded programs. EDD, to the greatest extent feasible, will ensure that employment and contract opportunities resulting from HUDfunded projects are directed to low-income residents and businesses.
EDD may amend this Plan as necessary to ensure continued compliance with HUD’s requirements and/or to reflect updated Section 3 guidance and outreach strategies.

2) Indian and Tribal Preferences – 24 CFR § 75.3(c), and 3) Other HUD assistance and other Federal assistance not subject to Section 3 – 24 CFR §75.3 (d). However, for financial assistance that is not subject to Section 3, recipients are encouraged to consider ways to support the purpose of Section 3.
II. Employment, Training, & Contracting Goals
A. Safe Harbor Compliance
HUD has set hiring goals to make sure projects help low-income workers. The benchmarks for the minimum percentage of labor hours worked by Section 3 Workers and Targeted Section 3 Workers (both defined in Appendix A) represent minimum targets for a Section 3 Project. The benchmarks are not set asides and quotas, but instead establish what HUD refers to as a "safe harbor" for Subrecipients, Contractors, and Subcontractors on the matter of compliance with Section 3.
Prior to the beginning of work, contractors and subcontractors will be required to certify that they will demonstrate good faith effort as outlined below in section C. After completion of the project, contractors and subcontractors will be required to certify that they followed the prioritization of effort requirements in the Section 3 Cumulative Report.
If the contractor and subcontractor do not meet the safe harbor goals, they must provide evidence of qualitative efforts to assist low and very low-income persons with employment and training opportunities. Examples of this evidence include job postings, documentation of local outreach, training opportunities, or other recorded efforts of hiring local workers.
B. Safe Harbor Benchmarks
To comply with Section 3 requirements outlined in 24 CFR Part 75.19 - for housing and community development financial assistance, subrecipients, contractors, and subcontractors should meet the safe harbor benchmarks. The safe harbor benchmark goals are as follows:
For housing and community development financial assistance 1) Twenty-five (25) percent or more of the total number of labor hours worked by all workers on a Section 3 project are Section 3 workers, as defined in Appendix A.
Formula: Section 3 Labor Hours / Total Labor Hours = 25% And
Five (5) percent or more of the total number of labor hours worked by all workers on a Section 3 project are Targeted Section 3 workers, as defined in Appendix A.
ATTACHMENT J
555
Formula: Targeted Section 3 Labor Hours / Total Labor Hours = 5% HUD establishes and updates Section 3 benchmarks for Section 3 workers and/or Targeted Section 3 workers through a document published in the Federal Register, not less frequently than once every 3 years. Given that the Section 3 benchmarks are subject to change every three years or sooner, EDD will revisit and/or update their Section 3 Plan every 3 years, as needed.
It is the responsibility of contractors to implement efforts to achieve Section 3 compliance. Any contractor that does not meet the Section 3 benchmarks must demonstrate why meeting the benchmarks was not feasible. All contractors submitting bids or proposals to EDD are required to certify that they will comply with the requirements of Section 3.
C. Contractor Prioritization for Employment, Training, and Contracting Employment and Training
EDD contractors and subcontractors should make best efforts to provide employment and training opportunities to Section 3 workers in the priority order listed below:
For housing and community development financial assistance:
• Provide employment and training opportunities to Section 3 workers within the City of Stockton, in the priority order listed below:
1) Section 3 workers residing within the service area or the neighborhood of the project, and
2) Participants in YouthBuild programs.
Contractors and subcontractors will be required to certify that they will and have made their best efforts to follow the prioritization of effort requirements prior to the beginning work and after work is completed.
Contracting
EDD contractors and subcontractors must make their best efforts to award contracts and subcontracts to business concerns (defined in Appendix A). Business Concerns must demonstrate that they meet the criteria outlined in Appendix A at the time of the bid/proposal. EDD will provide economic opportunities to Section 3 workers in the following order or priority:
For housing and community development financial assistance:
1) Business concerns that provide economic opportunities to Section 3 workers residing within the metropolitan area in which assistance is located, in the following order of priority (where feasible):
a) Section 3 business concerns that provide economic opportunities to Section 3 workers residing within the service area or the neighborhood of the project; and b) YouthBuild programs.
ATTACHMENT J
556
Contractors and subcontractors will be required to certify that they will and have made best efforts to follow the prioritization of effort requirements prior to the beginning work and after work is completed.
III. Eligibility & Certifications
Individuals and businesses that meet Section 3 criteria may seek Section 3 preference from EDD or its contractors/subcontractors for training, employment, or contracting opportunities on HUDfunded projects through self-certification. To qualify as a Section 3 worker, Targeted Section 3 worker or a Section 3 business concern, each must self-certify that they meet the requirements listed in this plan.
Warning: Contractors or Businesses who misrepresent themselves as Section 3 status and/or report false information may have their contracts terminated as default and be barred from ongoing and future considerations for contracting opportunities with EDD HUD-funded projects.
A. Section 3 Worker and Targeted Section 3 Worker Certification A Section 3 worker seeking certification shall submit self-certification documentation to the recipient contractor or subcontractor, that the person is a Section 3 worker or Targeted Section 3 worker. For the purposes of Section 3 worker eligibility, EDD will use individual income rather than family/household income to determine eligibility. The income limits will be determined annually using the guidelines published at https://www.huduser.org/portal/datasets/il.html.
Persons seeking the Section 3 worker preference shall demonstrate that they meet one or more of the following criteria currently or when hired within the past five years, as documented:
1) A low or very low-income resident (the worker’s income for the previous or annualized calendar year is below the income limit established by HUD), as updated periodically; or 2) Employed by a Section 3 business concern; or
3) A YouthBuild participant.
Persons seeking the Targeted Section 3 worker preference shall demonstrate that they meet one or more of the following criteria:
For housing and community development assistance
1) Employed by a Section 3 business concern or
2) Currently meets or when hired met at least one of the following categories as documented within the past five years:
a) Living within the service area or the neighborhood of the project, as defined in Appendix A; or
b) A YouthBuild participant.
Section 3 workers and Targeted Section 3 workers who are seeking preference in training and employment must submit the Section 3 Worker and Targeted Section 3 Worker Self-Certification Form.
Projects Involving Multiple Sources of Funding
ATTACHMENT J
557
In cases where Section 3 covered projects include multiple sources of funds, including public housing financial assistance and housing and community development assistance, the EDD may follow either public housing rules (subpart B of Part 75) or community development rules (subpart C of Part 75).
In cases where Section 3 covered projects include multiple housing and development funding sources (financial assistance) from single or multiple recipients, EDD will follow community development rules. Refer to chart in Appendix B for guidance on funding combinations.
IV. Strategies for Achieving Section 3 Goals
EDD will implement strategies to help contractors meet section 3 goals. These strategies may include, but are not limited to:
Documentation and Communication Strategies
1) Sharing/explanation of Section 3 requirements and opportunities with assisted businesses, developers and contractors.
2) Review Section 3 benchmarks and prioritization efforts with contractors and subcontractors. Emphasize that while existing employees need not be terminated, contractors should make every effort to meet Section 3 benchmark goals by utilizing qualified Section 3 workers and Targeted Section 3 workers for new positions when hiring additional employees is needed to complete proposed work. 3) Track and document all labor hours including Section 3 worker hours, Targeted Section 3 worker hours, and overall compliance efforts throughout the project duration.
Additional Support Strategies
1) Hold mandatory pre-bid meetings for contractors interested in submitting a bid/offer/proposal to ensure Section 3 requirements are clearly communicated before bid submission.
2) Assist with workforce planning by requiring contractors to present, at time of bid, their projected labor hours, including total hours, Section 3 worker hours, and Targeted Section 3 worker hours, plus descriptions and wage rates for available positions. 3) Leverage EDD’s communication channels (social media, website, etc.) to broadly share employment and contracting opportunities.
4) Require contractors to submit a list of core employees (including administrative, clerical, planning and construction trades positions) at time of contract award. 5) Establish and maintain an internal database to track Section 3 compliance measures, including but not limited to:
a) Certified Section 3 workers and/or business concerns; b) HUD-funded projects that exceed the required threshold; and c) Labor hours of Section 3 projects.
Note: These strategies serve as tools to help achieve Section 3 goals. EDD will evaluate and select appropriate strategies based on project requirements, available resources, and effectiveness in meeting goals.
ATTACHMENT J
558
V. Section 3 Outreach
A. Outreach Efforts for Employment and Training
Contractors and subcontractors should employ several active strategies to notify Section 3 workers and Targeted Section 3 workers of Section 3 job opportunities, including but not limited to:
1) Clearly indicating Section 3 eligibility on all job postings with the following statement:
“This job is a Section 3 eligible job opportunity. We encourage applications from individuals that are low income and/or live in Public Housing and/or receive a Section 8 voucher.”
2) Including the Section 3 Worker and Targeted Section 3 Worker Self-Certification Form in all job postings.
3) Establishing a current list of Section 3 eligible applicants. 4) Contacting local community organizations and providing them with job postings for Section 3 eligible applicants.
5) Coordinating an ad campaign, which results in widespread job posting across diverse ad networks including:
a) Advertising job opportunities via social media.
b) Advertising job opportunities via flyer distributions and mass mailings and posting ads in housing management offices.
c) Contacting neighborhood community organizations to request their assistance in notifying residents of available training and employment opportunities.
B. Outreach Efforts for Contracting
When contracting opportunities arise in connection with HUD Programming, EDD will employ the following strategies to notify Section 3 Business Concerns of Section 3 contracting opportunities, including but not limited to:

Note: Refer to chart in Appendix B for guidance.
VIII. Complaint Procedure
In an effort to resolve complaints generated due to non-compliance through an internal process, EDD encourages submittal of such complaints to its office as follows:

DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT, HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS, AND
EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANTS PROGRAMS
Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (“Act”) finds and declares that the future welfare of the nation and the well-being of its citizens depends upon establishing and maintaining viable urban communities as social, economic, and political entities and requires systematic and sustained action by federal, state, and local governments to eliminate blight and conserve and renew older urban areas in order to improve the living conditions and environment of low and moderate income families and to develop new centers of population growth and economic activity; and Of utmost importance to the welfare of the community and a vital concern under the Act with regard to persons of low and moderate income is eliminating slums and blight, preventing blighting influence, and preventing the deterioration of private property, neighborhoods, and community facilities; and
The elimination of conditions that are detrimental to the health, safety, and public welfare through infrastructure improvements, environmental cleanup, rehabilitation assistance, community development, and related activities are vital concerns to the City of Stockton (“City”); and
In compliance with 24 CFR, Parts 91, 92, 570, and 576, which address the Consolidated Submission for Community Planning and Development Programs, the City prepared a Consolidated Plan for Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”), Home Investment Partnerships (“HOME”), and Emergency Solutions Grants (“ESG”) Programs; and
The Consolidated Plan is the City’s five-year planning document for CDBG, HOME and ESG funds, which provides an assessment of local housing conditions and a longterm strategy for addressing community needs; and The Consolidated Plan regulations (24 CFR 91) require each state and local government to submit a certification that it is affirmatively furthering fair housing which means that it will conduct an analysis of impediments to fair housing choice and take appropriate actions to overcome the effects of impediments identified through that analysis; and
570
On March 14, 2025, a notice that the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan, Community Participation Plan, Language Access Plan, and Section 3 Plan were available for review was published in The Record, the local newspaper of general circulation, and posted in public places, thereby beginning a 30-day period for citizens to review and comment on the draft plans; and
The City’s application for funds under the CDBG, HOME, and ESG Programs, which include the Consolidated Plan and the One-Year Action Plan, must be filed with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) on or before May 16, 2025; and
On April 15, 2025, the City Council held a public hearing during which staff presented an overview of the elements of the proposed Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, Community Participation Plan, Language Access Plan, and Section 3 Plan, and citizens were provided an opportunity to comment and all persons requesting to be heard were heard and their comments considered; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STOCKTON, AS FOLLOWS:
1. The City Council hereby approves and adopts the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan (Con Plan), 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan (Action Plan), Community Participation Plan, Language Access Plan, and Section 3 Plan for the CDBG, HOME, and ESG Programs, all of which are on file with the Office of the City Clerk and the Economic Development Department.

NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND PRECISE ROAD PLAN FOR THE MAIN STREET AND MARKET
STREET COMPLETE STREETS PROJECT LOCATED BETWEEN CENTER STREET AND STATE HIGHWAY ROUTE 99 OVERPASS (P25-0033)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council accept the Planning Commission’s recommendation and adopt a Resolution for an Initial Study/Negative Declaration and approve the Precise Road Plan for the Main Street and Market Street Complete Streets Project, in accordance with Findings for Decision detailed herein.
Summary
The City of Stockton Public Works Department filed a project application to establish a Precise Road Plan for specified segments of Main Street and Market Street in accordance with the Stockton Municipal Code (SMC) Chapter 16.148. The purpose of the Precise Road Plan is to identify the right of way requirements, roadway alignment, lane configurations, access restrictions, and intersection controls within the specified roadway segments. The proposed Precise Road Plan for Main and Market Streets is a rehabilitation and beautification project for Main Street between Hunter Street and State Highway Route 99 overpass, and for Market Street between Center Street and Main Street (herein referred to as the “Precise Road Plan” or “Project”). Main Street and Market Streets are currently an auto-dominated environment with minimal amenities for pedestrians and bicyclists.
The proposed Precise Road Plan would provide equal priority to pedestrians, motorized vehicles, bicycles, and transit uses with safe and convenient pedestrian and bicycle facilities, linking commercial areas, residential neighborhoods, and employment centers. The City Council is the review authority for Precise Road Plans based on the recommendation of the Planning Commission.
This application review is subject to compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). An Initial Study/ Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with CEQA to evaluate any potential impacts of the Project and concluded the Project will not result in significant impacts to the environment..
The Planning Commission considered the proposed Project in a public hearing held on March 27, 2025, and adopted a Resolution forwarding a recommendation to the City Council for the adoption of the Initial Study/Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration and approval of the Market Street and Main Street Precise Road Plan.
It is recommended that the City Council accept the Planning Commission’s recommendation and adopt a Resolution for an Initial Study/Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration and approve the Market Street and Main Street Precise Road Plan in City of Stockton Page 1 of 6 Printed on 4/10/2025

Negative Declaration and approve the Market Street and Main Street Precise Road Plan in accordance with the listed Findings for Decision in the Proposed Resolution.
DISCUSSION
Background
The Main Street and Market Street corridors, with their vacant and underutilized parcels, varied building stock, and proximity to downtown and adjacent neighborhoods, offers redevelopment potential to attract new residents, employees, and visitors to the City’s downtown. Significant downtown investments have been constructed in the past decade. These investments include the renovation of the historic Cabral Station, Downtown Transit Center, Weber Point Events Center, Stockton Ballpark, and Stockton Arena at the west end of the corridor. Connecting east Stockton with the Downtown area will unify these significant downtown investments and revitalize the current distressed Main Street and Market Street corridors.
The project area is not zoned because Main Street and Market Street are designated as public rightof-way (ROW). The subject area is bounded to the:
· North by various commercial/warehousing buildings and vacant lots zoned CG (Commercial, General), CD (Commercial, Downtown), and IL (Industrial, Limited); · East by State Route 99 overpass and the San Joaquin County limits; · South by various commercial/warehousing buildings and vacant lots zoned CG, CD, and IL; and
· West across Center Street by various commercial/warehousing buildings zoned CD (Attachment A - Location Map and Aerial Photograph).
The General Plan designates Main Street and Market Street as Arterial and land on either side of the right-of-way for Commercial and Industrial land uses. The Precise Road Plan application is subject to public hearings by both the Planning Commission (to make a recommendation to the City Council) and the City Council (for a final decision).
In 2017, the City obtained a grant from the San Joaquin Council of Governments as part of the Measure K Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Safe Routes to School and Smart Growth Incentive Program to study the subject corridors and prepare a Precise Road Plan. As a part of this process, a traffic analysis was conducted to analyze current conditions and guide the City on the content of the Precise Road Plan (Attachment B). The Plan developed a comprehensive design for the corridor and the rehabilitation of Main Street and Market Street. The conceptual streetscape design elements include dedicated bicycle lanes, sidewalks, street lighting, parklets with amenities (i.e., trees for shade, benches, and trash receptacles), and enhanced crosswalks and intersections. The purpose of the Precise Road Plan is to establish Main Street and Market Street as prominent “complete streets” that accommodate all modes of transportation, including vehicular, bicycle, pedestrian, and mass transit.

Development Review Committee
The Development Review Committee considered the project on February 27, 2025, and recommended approval of the Precise Road Plan for the Main Street and Market Street Complete Streets Project, subject to proposed Findings of Fact and Conditions of Approval, as indicated in the proposed Resolution.
Planning Commission
The Planning Commission considered the project at the March 27, 2025 meeting. After a public hearing and discussion, a motion to recommend approval was passed in a 6-0 vote.
Present Situation
The Precise Road Plan for Main Street and Market Street (Exhibit 1 of the Proposed Resolution) sets the expectations and requirements on what will be constructed within the City’s ROW. Acquisition of additional ROW is anticipated at the following locations:
· Addition of a new cul-de-sac on Market Street east of its intersection with Main Street, an existing paved area (2,809 SF)
· Addition of a new cul-de-sac on Washington Street east of its intersection with South B Street, a vacant site (2,938 SF)
· Addition of a new cul-de-sac on Lafayette Street east of its intersection with C Street and Main Street, a vacant site (2,475 SF to be acquired, 7,637 SF to be abandoned, and 725 SF to be acquired but then abandoned)
· Widen curb return and sidewalk radius at Filbert and Main Street roundabout, an outdoor storage, and landscape are (155 SF and 318 SF)
· Increase radius of curb return and sidewalk at Shasta Avenue and Main Street, a vacant paved area (15 SF)
· Increase radius of curb return and sidewalk at David Avenue and Main Street, a vacant area (58 SF)
· Increase radius of curb return and sidewalk at four corners of Wilson Way and Market Street, existing vacant paved areas (total 44 SF)
Main Street and Market Street are currently one-way roads with two lanes each. The Precise Road Plan calls for a reduction in the number of vehicle travel lanes from two lanes to one lane, adding Class II buffered bicycle lanes, repairing sidewalks, upgrading traffic signals and streetlights, installing roundabouts at the intersections of Main Street/Market Street and Main Street/Filbert Street, “parklets” (small, landscaped amenity areas), and accessible street crossings with bulb-out round corners and bollards. The overall goal of the project is to provide a framework for Main Street and Market Street to become “complete streets”. Complete streets are designed to accommodate all modes of transportation, including vehicular, bicycle, pedestrian, and mass transit.
As part of the proposed improvements, new street trees would be planted, and some existing nonuniform street lighting would be removed and replaced to match other existing lighting in the corridor.
To avoid conflicts with existing underground utilities, the parklet designs would be adjusted, or the City of Stockton Page 3 of 6 Printed on 4/10/2025

File #: 25-0264, Version: 1
To avoid conflicts with existing underground utilities, the parklet designs would be adjusted, or the utilities would be relocated within the existing ROW.
With respect to the driveway restrictions along Main Street and Market Street, the Precise Road Plan would emphasize automobile driveways on side streets, where possible, to limit the potential conflicts with pedestrians, bicyclists, and public transit along Main Street and Market Street. The proposed approach to access control is listed as follows:
1. If an existing driveway is in use, it will remain in place until the parcel is redeveloped. At that time the location of the driveway would be evaluated and compared to the Precise Road Plan and could be modified or abandoned.
2. If an existing driveway has been abandoned, it could be removed on the Precise Road Plan.
This would also apply to vacant lots.
3. If a parcel is reconfigured, the location of the driveway would be evaluated and adjusted to comply with the Precise Road Plan, or a Precise Road Plan amendment could be filed to request a new driveway.
Findings Of Fact
Stockton Municipal Code (SMC) Section 16.148.070.A requires two findings of fact to support the approval of the Precise Road Plan. The Precise Road Plan must 1) comply with general land uses, objectives, policies, and programs of the General Plan and other adopted goals and policies of the City; and 2) be in compliance with applicable provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project would comply with General Plan Land Use Policy LU-2.5, by implementing complete streets projects; Transportation Policy TR-1.2, by shifting priority from vehicular travel to travel by all modes; and Transportation Policy TR-3.1, by limiting street widths while allowing for safe bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Further, an Initial Study/Negative Declaration has been prepared for the project and circulated to comply with State CEQA guidelines, as indicated in the proposed Resolution.
PUBLIC MEETING(S)
The Public Works Department held the first public meeting for the project on April 3, 2024. Twenty (20) people attended the meeting, consisting of twelve (12) members of the public and eight (8) members of the project team. The meeting was conducted as an open house with a presentation by the consultant’s project manager, followed by questions and comments from the audience. The questions raised by the public were related to the project’s funding resources, construction phasing, the elimination of on-street parking, parking meters, the location of a proposed roundabout, current volume of traffic, delays at the railroad crossing on Main Street at B Street, and opportunities for public art. A second public meeting was held on May 23, 2024. Twenty-One (21) people attended the meeting, consisting of twelve (12) members of the public, one (1) elected official, and eight (8) members of the project team. Questions raised by the public were related to the utilization and maintenance of the parklets by adjacent business owners, additional police patrols in the area, parking concerns, additional public transportation, and securing future funding to complete the parklets, sidewalks, and bicycle lanes. At each meeting, the public’s comments were addressed through further discussion and clarification of the plan. No comments raised required plan modifications.

Planning Commission
On March 27, 2025, a public hearing was held before the Planning Commission. Paul Schneider with Siegfried, a consulting firm contracted with the City Public Works Department, presented the project.
During the public hearing questions were raised regarding public outreach, driveways, bicycle lanes, bus routes, and compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act. Public Works’ consultant answered questions and addressed concerns.
Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission voted 6 to 0 to forward its recommendation to the City Council for the adoption of an Initial Study/Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration and approval of the Precise Road Plan for the Main Street and Market Street Complete Streets Project.
ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE
The City has determined that the project would not have potentially significant environmental impacts, either by itself or with the application of regulations, ordinances, and standards. No mitigation measures would be required. As a result, a public draft Initial Study/Proposed Negative Declaration has been prepared for the project, in accordance with State CEQA Guidelines. A “Notice of Intent” to adopt the public draft Initial Study/Proposed Negative Declaration was circulated for public review and comment between February 4, 2025, and March 7, 2025, and was filed with the San Joaquin County Clerk’s Office and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research State Clearinghouse (SCH# 2025020148). All the comments that were received during the public review have been responded to in the Final Initial Study / Negative Declaration (Attachment C). Pursuant to Section 15074 (b) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the Initial Study/ Negative Declaration must be adopted by the decision-making body of the lead agency (the City Council) prior to the approval of Precise Road Plan for the Main Street and Market Street Complete Streets Project.
The environmental documents, including the public draft Initial Study/Negative Declaration and the Final Initial Study/Negative Declaration have been posted on the City’s website for the City Council’s review:
https://www.stocktonca.gov/services/public_works/projects___studies/main_street_complete_streets. php.
Public Comments
Notice for the City Council public hearing for this request was published in The Record on April 4, 2025, as a display ad in accordance with SMC Section 16.88.030(B)(2). As of the writing of this staff report, no written comments have been submitted.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
In 2017, the City obtained a grant from the San Joaquin Council of Governments as part of the Measure K Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Safe Routes to School and Smart Growth Incentive Program to study the subject corridors and prepare a Precise Road Plan. The grant requires environmental clearance by April 28, 2025, in order to proceed with final design and construction of the improvements outlined in the Precise Road Plan. There is no impact to the City’s General Fund or to any other unrestricted fund as a result of the plan.

TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this technical memorandum is to evaluate the existing conditions, existing build conditions, background conditions, and background build conditions of Main Street and Market Street. The study area consists of approximately 2.6 mile section of Main Street and 1.3 mile section of Market Street in Stockton.
Main Street is a primarily two to three-lane, one-way major arterial running westbound from Market Street to Hunter Street. Main Street has four lanes, two lanes each direction from Market Street to Golden Gate Avenue. From Golden Gate Avenue to Broadway Avenue, it is a five-lane with two lane in each direction and one two way left turn lane (TWLTL). The average daily traffic (ADT) volume on Main Street ranges between 950 vehicles per day (vpd) to 14,435 vpd.
Market Street is a primarily two-lane one-way minor arterial stretching eastbound direction from Center Street to Locust Street. The average daily traffic (ADT) volume on Market Street ranges between 1,305 vpd to 5,410 vpd.
45 study intersections and 21 study roadway segments were selected for the project within the study area – 28 study intersections and 14 study roadway segments on Main Street; and 17 study intersections and 7 study roadway segments on Market Street. The intersections were evaluated under existing conditions, existing build conditions, background conditions, and background build conditions for the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak periods.
This technical memorandum summarizes the existing, existing build, background, and background build conditions intersection and segment level of service (LOS) analysis as well as the 95th percentile queue length at the study intersections. This memorandum also summarizes the collisions that occurred over an eight year (2015-2022) period in the project vicinity.

STUDY METHODOLOGY
LEVEL OF SERVICE ANALYSIS AND METHODOLOGY
Existing operational conditions at the study intersections were evaluated according to the requirements set forth by the City of Stockton. The traffic operational analysis was conducted using the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 6th as well as HCM 2000 Level of Service (LOS) methodology with Synchro 12.0 software. The HCM 2000 methodology was used in lieu of more recent editions of the HCM due to limitations in the newer methodology in analyzing exclusive pedestrian phases, clustered intersections, and non-NEMA phasing. In the existing build conditions, two intersections were analyzed as Roundabouts using the Sidra 8.1 software.
LOS is a qualitative measure that describes operational conditions as they relate to the traffic stream and perceptions by motorists and passengers. The LOS generally describes these conditions in terms of such factors as speed and travel time, delays, freedom to maneuver, traffic interruptions, comfort and convenience, and safety. The operational LOS are given letter designations from A to F, with ‘A’ representing the best operating conditions (free-flow) and ‘F’ the worst (severely-congested flow with high delays). Intersections generally are the capacitycontrolling locations with respect to traffic operations on arterial and collector streets.
SIGNALIZED, UNSIGNALIZED AND ROUNDABOUTS INTERSECTIONS
Signalized intersection LOS and unsignalized all-way stop controlled LOS is based on the capacity of the intersection as a whole and average delay experienced by a driver. Unsignalized one-way and two-way stop controlled intersection LOS is defined by the average delay experienced by a driver for the minor approach worst movement or major approach critical movement. Roundabout intersection LOS is defined by the average control delay based on the capacity of intersection as a whole. The LOS criteria is same as the unsignalized intersection. Table 1 provides the relationship between LOS rating and delay for signalized and unsignalized intersections.
Table 1: Level of Service Thresholds Based on Intersection Delay Level of Service Signalized Intersection Delay (sec) Unsignalized Intersection Delay (sec) A 0 ≤ D ≤ 10 0 ≤ D ≤ 10

SIGNIFICANT IMPACT CRITERIA/LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARDS
The “Envision Stockton 2040 General Plan”, adopted by City Council in 2018, established LOS D as the acceptable level of traffic congestion on major streets. For the purposes of this study when evaluating the potential significance of level of service impacts to the City of Stockton motorists, LOS D or better is acceptable whereas LOS E and F are unacceptable.
ROAD DIET GUIDELINES
“Road diets” are often conversions of four-lane undivided roads into three lanes (two through lanes and a center turn lane), as shown in Figure 2. The residual street space can be utilized for bike lanes, street parking, transit lanes, raised medians, pedestrian refuge islands, sidewalks and/or curbside delivery and pick-up areas. In short, existing street space is reallocated from traffic lanes to other uses while maintaining the same curbs and curb-to-curb pavement width. If planned as a part of a street overlay or pavement resurfacing project, a road diet conversion can be relatively inexpensive and cost-effective.

Figure 2: Typical Road Diet Basic Design (Typical)
(source: Road Diet Informational Guide: FHWA Safety program, November 2014, section 1.2.2, page 5, https://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/road_diets/guidance/info_guide/).
Under most ADT volumes, road diets have minimal effect on motorist delay because left-turning vehicles are moved into an exclusive two-way left-turn lane. At ADTs above approximately 20,000 vehicles, there is a greater likelihood that traffic congestion will increase to the point of diverting traffic to alternate or parallel streets.
Road diets offer potential benefits to pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists. On a typical four-lane street, drivers change lanes to pass slower vehicles (such as vehicles stopped in the left lane in a midblock location waiting to make a left turn to a driveway). In contrast, drivers’ speeds on twolane streets are limited by the speed of the lead vehicle. Thus, road diets may reduce vehicle speeds and vehicle interactions during lane changes, which has been proven to reduce the number and severity of vehicle-to-vehicle crashes in most cases. Based on studies conducted by FHWA, road diets have been observed to bring about a crash reduction of 19 to 47 percent.
Pedestrians benefit because they have fewer lanes of traffic to cross, and also because motor vehicles are likely to be moving more slowly and further from the sidewalk.
In determining the feasibility of a roadway for a road diet, there are eight criteria to evaluate. The criteria are introduced below to provide a basis for the evaluation and analysis of the study corridor which is described in the subsequent sections of this report. Parameters to be assessed when a road diet conversion is considered include:
Roadway characteristics

COLLISION ANALYSIS
DATA COLLECTION
Eight-year collision data, from 2015 to 2022, was retrieved from the Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) database. The collision data was collected at all the study intersections and roadways. TIMS dataset includes collisions of 4 levels of severity. The essential information required to analyze the TIMS database includes collision severity, types of collision, primary violation factors, and lighting conditions.
Collisions that occurred within a 150-foot radius of an intersection were considered as an intersection collision. Collisions that occurred at a distance greater than 150 feet were considered occurring at a mid-block location, i.e., at a roadway segment.
Based on the collision data retrieved, a total of 371 collisions were reported from the year 2015 to 2022. Out of the total collisions, approximately 94% (349 collisions) were observed to have occurred at an intersection and 6% (22 collisions) were observed to have occurred at mid-block locations on roadway segments. The number of collisions that occurred every year, as per facility type, is listed in Table 3. Appendix A contains the complete collision data set.

Source: TIMS (2015-2022 Collision Data along Main Street and Market Street) Based on the 349 reported collisions that occurred at intersections, 84% are vehicle-vehicle collisions (7 of these collisions involved a parked motor vehicle), 9% are vehicle-pedestrian, 4% are vehicle-bicycle collisions, and 3% are vehicle-fixed object collisions. All the collisions occurring on Main Street and Market Street were further analyzed based on facility type by the following factors:

pedestrian (30 collisions, 9%) followed by sideswipe and head-on collisions, each contributing 34 collisions (10%). Vehicle-Bicycle collisions contributed 4% (15 collisions) of all collisions. 72% of collisions (250 collisions) resulted in complaint of pain, followed by other visible injury (88 collisions, 26%), severe injury (9 collisions, 2%) and fatal (1 collisions, 1%). Traffic signals and signs violations (124 collisions, 36%) is the most common primary collision factor leading to collisions at intersection. The next highest factors are automobile right of way violation (86 collisions, 25%) and unsafe speed (54 collisions, 15%). 79% (276 collisions) of the collisions occurred in daylight, 19% (66 collisions) occurred at dark hours but street lights were present, and 2% (5 collisions) occurred when it was dusk or dawn. Table 4 summarizes the intersection collision analysis based on all the factors analyzed.

EXISTING CONDITIONS
ROADWAY NETWORK
Main Street is an east-west major arterial that extends from Downtown Stockton to unincorporated San Joaquin County. From Market Street to Golden Gate Avenue, Main Street is four lanes with two lanes in each direction. From Golden Gate Avenue to Broadway Avenue, it is a five-lane with two-lane in each direction and a center two-way left turn lane. West of Market Street, Main Street is a two to three-lane one-way roadway heading into downtown. Main Street provides access to the residential and commercial land uses. The ADT volume on Main Street ranges between 950 vpd to 14,435 vpd. The posted speed limit along the corridor is 30 miles per hour (mph) from Wilson Way to Filbert Street and 35 mph from Filbert Street to Highway 99. There were no posted speed limit sign boards on the west of Wilson Way. We have assumed 25 mph.
Market Street is an east-west minor arterial roadway in the Downtown Stockton of the San Joaquin County. It is a two lane one-way roadway between Center Street and Main Street within the study area. The ADT volume ranges from 1,305 vpd to 5,410 vpd along the Market Street. No posted speed limit is present. The speed limit along the corridor is assumed as 25 mph. There are various land uses along the study corridor, such as residential, commercial, recreational, and administrative land uses.
EXISTING PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES
Walkability is defined as the ability to travel easily and safely between various origins and destinations without having to rely on automobiles or other motorized travel. The ideal “walkable” community includes but is not limited to having wide sidewalks, a mix of land uses such as residential, employment and shopping opportunities, buildings with windows and interesting facades at or near the edge of sidewalk, a limited number of conflict points with vehicle traffic, and easy access to transit facilities and services.
Pedestrian facilities are comprised of crosswalks, sidewalks, ADA ramps, pedestrian signals, and off-street paths, which provide safe and convenient routes for pedestrians to access destinations such as institutions, businesses, public transportation and recreation facilities.
In the project vicinity, sidewalks are provided on both sides of Main Street and Market Street throughout the corridor. Pedestrian non-actuated crossings are provided at each signalized study intersection. Pedestrian crossings are considered as a separate phase and they are operating with exclusive pedestrian phasing on Main Street at San Joaquin Street, Sutter Street, California Street, and American Street. The existing pedestrian facilities in the study area are shown in Figure 3.
EXISTING BICYCLE FACILITIES
As defined by the State of California Streets and Highways Code, Section 890.4, "bikeway" means all facilities that provide primarily for bicycle travel. Bikeways shall be categorized as follows:
ATTACHMENT B
629
Class I bikeways, such as a bike path, which provide a completely separated right-of-way designated for the exclusive use of bicycles and pedestrians with crossflows by motorists minimized.
Class II bikeways, such as a bike lane, which provide a restricted right-of-way designated for the exclusive or semi-exclusive use of bicycles with through travel by motor vehicles or pedestrians prohibited, but with vehicle parking and crossflows by pedestrians and motorists permitted.
Class III bikeways, such as an on-street or off-street bike route, which provide a right-ofway designated by signs or permanent markings and shared with pedestrians or motorists. Class IV bike ways, such as separated bikeway, also known as a cycle track, is an on-street bike lane that is physically separated from motor-vehicle traffic by a vertical and/or horizontal element such as a raised curb, narrow median, bollards, or car parking.
There are currently no existing bicycle facilities along Main Street and Market Street, however, a Class II bike lane is planned for the study corridors. The planned bicycle facility is illustrated in Figure 3.

DATA COLLECTION
Turning movement counts (TMC) for vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians were conducted during the weekday a.m. peak period (7:00 to 9:00 a.m.) and p.m. peak period (4:00 to 6:00 p.m.) at the study intersections. On Main Street between Aurora Street and Broadway Avenue, TMC were collected on September 28, 2023. 24-hour bi-directional average daily traffic (ADT) counts were collected on September 28, 2023 for the same corridor. On Main Street between Hunter Street and Grant Street, and Market Street between Center Street and Della Street, TMC were collected on April 3, 2024. 24-hour bi-directional average daily traffic (ADT) counts were also collected on April 3, 2024 along the study corridors. For Market Street between Center Street and El Dorado Street, 24-hour bidirectional ADT counts were recorded on April 10, 2024. Figure 5 illustrates average daily traffic along the study corridors.
EXISTING PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC VOLUMES AND LANE CONFIGURATIONS Existing conditions traffic operations at the study intersections were evaluated for the busiest onehour period during weekday morning (a.m.) and afternoon (p.m.) peak periods. Figure 6 (a-d) illustrates the existing lane geometry and traffic controls at the study intersections. Figure 7 (ac) illustrates the existing a.m. and p.m. peak hour turning movement counts at the study intersections. Appendix B includes all the data sheets for the collected traffic counts.

INTERSECTION LEVEL OF SERVICE ANALYSIS – EXISTING CONDITIONS Existing intersection lane configurations, signal timings and turning movement volumes were used to calculate the LOS for the study intersections during each peak hour. The results of the LOS analysis using Synchro 12 software for baseline conditions are summarized in Table 7. LOS worksheets are provided in Appendix C.
Under this scenario, all the study intersections operate at acceptable LOS D or better during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours.

TJKM conducted a vehicle queuing and turn lane storage analysis for study signalized intersections existing conditions. The 95th percentile queues were analyzed using the HCM Queue methodology contained in Synchro 12 software. Table 9 presents the existing queues (in feet) at the study signalized intersections. Appendix C contains the queue output worksheets for existing conditions.
Under existing conditions, the southbound left-turn movement at Main Street/Filbert Street & Market Street/Wilson Way experiences queue lengths that exceed storage lengths for the a.m. and p.m. peak hours.

EXISTING BUILD CONDITIONS
Proposed intersection lane configurations, existing signal timings and baseline turning movement volumes were used to calculate the LOS for the study intersections during each peak hour.
According to the striping plans provided by Siegfried, the proposed lane configuration on the Main Street and Market Street (within the study area) would reduce the number of travel lanes in each direction from two to one. Beyond Golden Gate Avenue, the travel lanes would reduce from five lanes to three lanes until reaching Broadway Avenue. The plan also includes the addition of parking lanes in both directions, as well as continuous and connected Class II bicycle facilities along the project limits. Furthermore, there are additional intersection modifications at Main Street/Market Street, and Main Street/Filbert Street. These modifications entail transforming the intersections into single-lane roundabouts for improved traffic flow. For this scenario, the existing lane configuration would be maintained on the side streets along the study corridors. Figure 8 (a-d) illustrates the proposed lane geometry and traffic controls at the study intersections.
INTERSECTION LEVEL OF SERVICE ANALYSIS – EXISTING BUILD CONDITIONS The results of the LOS analysis using the Synchro 12 software program for existing Build conditions are summarized in Table 10. LOS worksheets are provided in Appendix C.
Under this scenario, all of the study intersections operate at acceptable service levels (LOS D or better) during a.m., and p.m. peak hours, except at the following intersections:
Main Street/David Avenue operates at unacceptable LOS E only during the p.m. peak hour.

Notes:
1. AM – morning peak hour, PM – afternoon peak hour
2. Delay – Whole intersection weighted average control delay expressed in seconds per vehicle for signalized and all-way stop controlled intersections. Total control delay for the worst movement is presented for side-street stop – controlled intersections.
3. LOS – Level of Service.
4. Change in delay between existing conditions and existing Build conditions Bold indicates unacceptable LOS and Delay
The peak-hour signal warrant from the California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) was evaluated for the unsignalized intersection of Main Street/David Avenue, operating at LOS E, to determine if a traffic signal is warranted. Under this scenario, the MUTCD peak hour signal warrant is not met for the unsignalized intersection of Main Street/David Avenue during weekday a.m., and p.m. peak hour. Peak Hour Signal Warrant sheets are provided in Appendix D.
95TH PERCENTILE QUEUE ANALYSIS
TJKM conducted a vehicle queuing and turn lane storage analysis for study signalized intersections under existing Build conditions. The 95th percentile queue is determined using statistical analysis to predict the near-worst case situation; that is, queues that exceed only 5 percent of the time. The 95th percentile queues were analyzed using the HCM 6th Queue methodology contained in Synchro 12 software. Table 11 presents the existing queues (in feet) at the study signalized intersection. Appendix C contains the queue output worksheets for existing Build conditions.
Under existing Build conditions, the southbound left-turn movement Market Street/Wilson Way experiences queue lengths that exceed storage lengths for the a.m. and p.m. peak hours.

SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENTS
The intersections with unacceptable operating conditions were further analyzed to identify changes that would improve their conditions and reduce their delay under existing Build conditions. In addition to this, mitigation measures were also identified at some of the intersections where there are some significant queues that were observed during the SimTraffic simulation under existing Build conditions. The improvements and their effects on intersection operating conditions are summarized in Error! Reference source not found., & Table 11. Detailed calculation sheets for existing Build conditions with mitigations are contained in Error! Reference source not found..
Main Street/David Avenue (Study Intersection 23):
Mitigation measures at this intersection include the roadway improvements such as “Restripe eastbound and westbound as shared through+left lane and shared through+right lane. These measures would reduce intersection delay to acceptable LOS. Proposed lane configuration would be provided for the Main Street segment between Shasta Avenue and Rendon Avenue. On-street parking would be prohibited on both the sides for this section of segment to reduce the congestion at these intersections. Table 10 shows the improvements at Main Street/Shasta Avenue (Study Intersection 22), and Main Street/Rendon Avenue (Study Intersection 24) and the average delays.
Intersection 22: Main Street/Shasta Avenue
o Restripe westbound as shared through+left lane and exclusive right turn lane

Intersection 23: Main Street/David Avenue
o Restripe eastbound and westbound as shared through+left lane and shared through+right lane
Intersection 24: Main Street/Rendon Avenue
o Restripe eastbound as shared through+left lane and an exclusive right turn lane Market Street/Wilson Way (Study Intersection 43):
Main Street/Wilson Way intersection operating at acceptable level of service. However, as per City’s review for eastbound approach, some significant queues may appear due to single lane and pedestrians blocking left/right turns. In order to reduce the congestion, lane configuration changes and signal timing optimization might help. Due to this, some improvement measures were also proposed at Main Street/Eugenia Street. These mitigations are feasible but could potentially lead to an increase in crashes at intersections due to right of way limitations and the addition of bike lanes. Recommended signage and lane markings should be implemented to reduce collisions.
Intersection 43: Market Street/Wilson Way
o Restripe eastbound as shared through+left lane and shared through+right lane and optimize signal timings.
Intersection 44: Market Street/Eugenia Street
o Restripe eastbound as an exclusive through lane and shared with through+right lane, and provide a receiving lane.

BACKGROUND CONDITIONS
This scenario is identical to existing conditions with the addition of trips from the three developments on the east of State Route 99 (SR 99). All the three developments are the single family residential land use. Figure 9 (a-c) shows background conditions peak hour volumes.
Appendix E contains trip estimates and distribution from the following projects.
EASTBROOK ESTATES
Eastbrook Estates is a 70-lot single-family residential development located on a 14.7-acre parcel at 5113 E. Main Street, at the northwest corner of S. Walker Lane and E. Main Street, east of Stockton. The traffic impact study was submitted on July 7, 2006. The traffic study anticipates a total of 749 daily trips, including 58 trips during the a.m. peak hour (15 inbound and 43 outbound) and 78 trips during the p.m. peak hour (49 inbound and 29 outbound). The following trip distribution was considered in the study:
3% to and from Main Street.
45% of trips are distributed from the north of Main Street along SR 99, accessing the site via Main Street and Golden Gate Avenue.
8% of trips are distributed from the south of Main Street along SR 99, also accessing through Main Street and Golden Gate Avenue.
LINGURIAN VILLAGE
Lingurian Village is a development that would feature 117 single-family residential units, situated on 19.9 acres of currently undeveloped land. The project is located at the northwest corner of South Del Mar Avenue and East Main Street, to the east of Stockton. The traffic study for the project, which was submitted on November 7, 2006, estimates a total of 1,201 daily trips, with 91 trips during the a.m. peak hour (23 inbound and 68 outbound) and 123 trips during the p.m. peak hour (77 inbound and 46 outbound). The following trip distribution same as Eastbrook Estates was considered in the study.
LINGURIAN VILLAGE UNIT 2
Lingurian Village Unit 2 would consist of 53 single-family residential units, to be built on 12.38 acres of undeveloped land. The site is located at the northeast corner of South Walker Lane and East Main Street, east of Stockton. The traffic study for the project, submitted on September 25, 2008, estimates a total of 580 daily trips, including 47 trips during the a.m. peak hour (12 inbound and 35 outbound) and 61 trips during the p.m. peak hour (38 inbound and 23 outbound). The following trip distribution was analyzed in the study:
56% to and from Main Street.
INTERSECTION LEVEL OF SERVICE ANALYSIS – BACKGROUND CONDITIONS The results of the LOS analysis using the Synchro 12 software program for background conditions are summarized in Table 12. LOS worksheets are provided in Appendix C.
