CITY OF TWENTYNINE PALMS

PROCLAMATION

ASIAN AMERICAN, NATIVE HAWAIIAN,
AND PACIFIC ISLANDER HERITAGE MONTH 2022
WHEREAS, during Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, our Nation recognizes the innumerable contributions, vibrant cultures, and rich heritage of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AA and NHPIs). As some of the fastest-growing racial and ethnic groups in the Nation, AA and NHPI communities represent a multitude of ethnicities, languages, and experiences that enrich America and strengthen our Union.

WHEREAS, AA and NHPIs have long played an essential role in writing the American story. From serving our country in uniform, advocating for civil rights, starting new businesses, and winning Olympic medals, the contributions of the AA and NHPI community touch the lives of Americans every day. AA and NHPIs serve with distinction at the highest levels of Federal, State, and local government.

WHEREAS, as we celebrate AA and NHPI communities, we must also redouble our commitment to combating the surge of anti-Asian hate crimes. Many other incidents of anti-Asian bias, xenophobia, and harassment that surfaced throughout the COVID-19 pandemic were not even reported. We cannot allow these horrific acts to continue threatening the safety of AA and NHPI Americans—especially women, girls, and the elderly. These acts are wrong; they are un-American; they must stop. As we work to ensure that hatred has no safe harbor in America’s future, we must confront shameful chapters in our history. And we will continue to root out racial injustices of our past and advance equity for all Americans as we move forward.

WHEREAS, this month, we celebrate our fellow Americans from AA and NHPI communities and pay tribute to all they have done to help fulfill the promise of America for all. Together, let us recommit ourselves to building a country in which every American—regardless of who they are, where they come from, or what they look like—has an opportunity to thrive.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Twentynine Palms does hereby proclaim May 2022 as ASIAN AMERICAN, NATIVE HAWAIIAN, AND PACIFIC ISLANDER HERITAGE MONTH. We call upon all Americans to learn more about the history of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders and to observe this month with appropriate programs and activities.

DATED this 24th day of May 2022.

Summary: Current law prescribes requirements for the disposal of surplus land by a local agency. Current law provides that an agency is not required to follow the requirements for disposal of surplus land for “exempt surplus land,” except as provided. Current law categorizes as “exempt surplus land,” surplus land that a local agency is transferring to another local, state, or federal agency for the agency’s use. This bill would add to the definition of “exempt surplus land,” surplus land that is zoned for a density of up to 30 residential units, if residential properties within a radius of 500 feet of the site are zoned to have an allowable density of fewer than 30 dwelling units per acre and the most recent annual progress report, as described, submitted by the city or county that owns the surplus land shows that the total number of lowincome and very low income housing units built within the city or county meets or exceeds proportionate annual progress toward the number of those housing units needed to meet the city’s or county’s share of regional housing need for the 6th cycle of its housing element, as described.

Summary: The Housing Accountability Act requires a housing development project to be subject only to the ordinances, policies, and standards adopted and in effect when a preliminary application is submitted, except as specified. Current law specifies the act does not prohibit a housing development project that is an affordable housing project from being subject to ordinances, policies, and standards adopted after the preliminary application was submitted if the project has not commenced construction within 3.5 years.

Current law defines “affordable housing project” for purposes of those provisions to mean a housing development in which units within the development are subject to a recorded affordability restriction for at least 55 years, among other things. This bill would instead require units within the development to be subject to a recorded affordability restriction for at least 55 years for rental housing and 45 years for owneroccupied housing.

Summary: The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a lead agency to prepare a mitigated negative declaration for a project that may have a significant effect on the environment if revisions in the project would avoid or mitigate that effect and there is no substantial evidence that the project, as revised, would have a significant effect on the environment. Current law, until January 1, 2025, exempts from CEQA projects related to the conversion of a structure with a certificate of occupancy as a motel, hotel, residential hotel, or hostel to supportive or transitional housing, as defined, that meet certain conditions. This bill would delete the above-described January 1, 2025, repeal date, thereby extending operation of that exemption indefinitely. Because the lead agency must determine the applicability of this exemption, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

Current law defines “Housing First” as an evidence-based model that uses housing as a tool, rather than a reward, for recovery and that centers on providing or connecting homeless people to permanent housing as quickly as possible. Under existing law, Housing First providers offer services as needed and requested on a voluntary basis and do not make housing contingent on participation in services. This bill would require a local government entity to provide specified homelessness information for its jurisdiction to the council by January 1, 2025, including expenditures on homelessness programs and efforts provided to homeless persons within its jurisdiction, as well as related information regarding the funding of these services.

BACKGROUND:

The California Public Resources Code (Section 47000et. seq.) requires cities and counties to prepare a Household Hazardous Waste Element which identifies a program for the safe collection, recycling, treatment and disposal of hazardous wastes--which is separate from the solid waste stream. The cities and San Bernardino County have developed a cooperative program for the management of household hazardous waste.

The San Bernardino County Fire Protection District is responsible for the safe management of household hazardous waste. Household hazardous waste is “any hazardous waste generated incidental to owning or maintaining a place of residence.” Hazardous wastes include such things as medications, paint, motor oil, antifreeze, auto batteries, lawn care products, pest
