Disproportionate Housing Needs and Displacement Risk
The AFFH Rule Guidebook (24 C.F.R. § 5.152) defines "disproportionate housing needs" as "a condition in which there are significant disparities in the proportion of members of a protected class experiencing a category of housing needs when compared to the proportion of a member of any other relevant groups or the total population experiencing the category of housing need in the applicable geographic area." The analysis is completed by assessing cost burden, severe cost burden,overcrowding,and substandard housing. In addition, this analysis examines homelessness and displacement risk.

Substandard Housing
The AFFH Rule Guidebook defines disproportionate housing needs as a condition in which there are significant disparities in the proportion of members of a protected class experiencing a category of housing needs when compared to the proportion of a member of any other relevant groups or the total population experiencing the category of housing need in the applicable geographic area(Code of Federal Regulations).The analysis is completed by assessing cost burden, overcrowding, and substandard housing. The Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) developed by the Census for HUD provides detailed information on housing needs by income level for different types of households in San Bernardino County.

Disproportionate housing needs are determined by finding trends in housing problems in the population by race,household size,or household age.A housing unit is considered substandard or having a housing problem if it has one or more of the following housing conditions:
• Housing unit lacks complete kitchen facilities
• Housing unit lacks complete plumbing facilities
• Household is cost burdened
• Housing unit is overcrowded
Large and elderly households are often more likely to experience housing problems. A large household is a household with three or more children, but is also often calculated as a household with five or more people.

An elderly household is calculated as any household with a person over 62 years of age.

Renters of all races and demographics experience high rates of housing problems, over 60 percent,while less than 30 percent of White or Black owners experience housing problems. Rates of housing problems are generally lower for owners in the City compared to the County,while rates of housing problems for renters are relatively comparable at the County and City level.

Cost Burden (Overpayment)
A household is considered cost-burdened if it spends more than 30 percent of its income in housing costs, including utilities.Reducing housing cost burden can also help foster more inclusive communities and increase access to opportunities for persons of color,persons with disabilities,and other protected classes.

Overpayment is a problem for many Upland residents,particularly for lower-income households.According to recent HUD estimates (Table C5) approximately 6,265 renter households (52%of all renters) and 4,325 owner households (29% of all owners) were paying more than 30% of income for housing. The highest rates of overpayment occur among very-low-income and extremely-low-income households. The impact of housing overpayment on lower income households is particularly significant for special needs populations— seniors, persons with disabilities,and female-headed households with children.

Cost burden is when a household spends more than 30 percent of its monthly income on housing costs such as rent,mortgage, or utilities.Large households have more costs to support more people,and may experience cost burden or a lack of excess funds to amend housing problems. Elderly households may be on a fixed income,which affects excess funds necessary for maintenance in an older home bought before retirement.

As shown in Figure C33, overpayment among renters is most prevalent in the southern portions of the city.

Overpayment among Upland homeowners is highest in the central and southern portions of the city (Figure City of Upland General Plan 1 Housing Element Page H-190

C32).The problems of overpayment are addressed in the Housing Plan through efforts to facilitate production and preservation of affordable housing.

Overpayment is prevalent regionwide,most notably in the cities of Ontario and San Bernardino.These are also areas with more prevalent non-White populations and households with lower median-incomes. Additionally, these cities also have a R/ECAP present. Overpayment in the surrounding region,including other jurisdictions in San Bernardino County, as well as Riverside County, has shifted in concentration from southwest to east over time within the jurisdictions.This trend regionwide is consistent with the patterns in Upland,as trends of overpayment seen previously in tracts southwest of the City boundary are now apparent in Upland,and within City limits areas of concentration have moved from southwestern tracts are now are seen in tracts to the east.

Overpayment in the City has overall decreased since 2010, but overpayment in the eastern neighborhoods of the City has increased.

Substandard Housing
The age of a housing unit is often an indicator of housing conditions. Housing units without proper maintenance can deteriorate over time.Housing units built before 1970 are the most likely to need rehabilitation and to have lead-based paint in deteriorated condition.Lead-based paint becomes hazardous to children under age six and to pregnant women when it peels off walls or is pulverized by windows and doors opening and closing.

Housing over 50 years old is considered aged and is more likely to exhibit a need for major repairs.Additionally, older units may not be built to current building standards for fire and earthquake safety.

The age of housing units in Upland compared to the SCAG region as a whole is shown in Figure C34.

Approximately 60%of Upland's housing units were constructed prior to 1980 and are now more than 40 years old. These findings suggest that there may be a substantial need for maintenance and rehabilitation,including remediation of lead-based paint. Based upon field observations of City building inspectors and code enforcement staff, it is estimated there may be 9,000 housing units currently in the City that are in need of substantial rehabilitation. Housing programs to assist lower-income households with needed repairs are described in Chapter 4.

Overcrowding
"Overcrowding"is defined as a housing unit occupied by more than 1.01 persons per room(excluding kitchens, porches,and hallways).A unit with more than 1.51 occupants per room is considered"severely overcrowded." The incidence of overcrowded housing is a general measure of whether there is an available supply of adequately sized housing units. Overcrowding is also related to overpayment, because households may not be able to afford a large enough home to accommodate their needs.Overcrowding can lead to a variety of other problems such as lower educational performance among children,psychological stress and adverse health impacts.

Overcrowding can affect public facilities and services,reduce the quality of the physical environment,and create conditions that contribute to the deterioration of the housing stock. Additionally, overcrowding can indicate that a community does not have an adequate supply of affordable housing and/or variety of suitable housing units to meet the needs of the community.

Program 23 is included to increase the affordable housing stock in the highest resource areas of the City by allowing additional ADUs per lot on approximately 1,940 lots, given that they are subject to an affordability covenant for a certain period of time. This will increase the affordable housing stock, so households with multiple families living together to save money may have more housing opportunities.ADUs can also provide additional rooms to aid in alleviating overcrowding.

In Upland,the highest rates of overcrowding occur in the southern portion of the city (Figure C35),which are also the areas with higher percentages of minority residents.

The problems of overcrowding are addressed in the Housing Plan through efforts to facilitate production and preservation of affordable housing and also through financial assistance such as Section 8 vouchers.

Homelessness
Persons threatened with homelessness are often those with incomes at 30% of area median income or below who are paying more than 30% of their income for rent. Homeless persons are defined as those who lack a fixed and adequate residence. Homelessness is a pressing issue for many communities, and the varied dimensions involved have implications for housing programs. People who are homeless may be chronically homeless (perhaps due to substance abuse) or situationally homeless resulting from job loss, family strife, incarceration, or violence. Homeless people face critical housing challenges due to their very low incomes and other problems.

Counting the homeless population is problematic due to its transient nature. According to the 2020 San Bernardino County Homeless Count and Subpopulation Survey Report8 there were 44 unsheltered and no sheltered homeless persons in Upland at the time of the survey. 8 https://wp.sbcounty.gov/dbh/sbchp/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/04/2020-SBC-Homeless-Count-Report.pdf City of Upland General Plan 1 Housing Element Page H-194

Housing accommodations for homeless people include emergency shelters, navigation centers, transitional housing, and permanent supportive housing. The City helps to support the establishment and operation of these types of facilities by ensuring that City regulations are consistent with current law (see Program 20:

Housing for People with Disabilities or other Special Needs). Facilities serving the homeless in Upland are briefly summarized below.
• Foothill Family Shelter. Foothill Family Shelter is the primary facility serving Upland's homeless. This facility provides emergency shelter,transitional housing,and permanent housing in one center for homeless individuals and families.It includes 75 emergency beds,7 short-term apartments for homeless families with children, 12 transitional housing apartments,and 8 apartments for affordable permanent housing. • Pacific Lifeline Ministry. Pacific Lifeline Ministry in Upland is a faith-based ministry that empowers women and children facing chronic homelessness to achieve personal and social stability. Pacific Lifeline provides 28 beds for women and their young children at a transitional shelter in Upland. As part of the transitional housing,Pacific Lifeline provides services that include case management,individual group and family therapy,tutoring and counseling services, clothes,food,and limited housing services. • Substance abuse. Inland Valley Recovery Services provides a number of programs for the Upland community. The Women and Children Program/Staying Sober provides a support base for recovering parents to restore relationships with children. IVRS also offers residential treatment in a 75-bed treatment center in Upland.
• Service agencies. Inland Valley Hope Partners provides emergency assistance with food, utilities, and educational classes. Other groups, such as OUR Homeless, links local ministries to community service providers and other congregations implementing solutions to ending homelessness on the west end of San Bernardino County.
• Housing Authority.The County Housing Authority(HACSB) has jurisdiction over a number of housing voucher programs, including those for homeless people. The Upland Housing Authority entered into a memorandum of understanding(MOU) with the San Bernardino County Housing Authority (HACSB) to administer housing assistance contracts with landlords in the City of Upland for applicants/participants of HACSB special purpose homeless voucher programs (Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS, Shelter Plus Care,Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing).

Table C7 shows the unsheltered homeless population in Upland by age demographics.Homelessness in Upland is most prevalent in those ages 25 to 54.However,since the homeless population in 2023 that provided data is relatively small, the age distribution is pretty even and low across age levels. In addition to age data, surveys also indicated that almost 90 percent of the homeless population in Upland is male. Additionally, nearly 20 percent have a mental disability or disorder, and almost 40 percent have a physical disability, which limits the ability to live independently.

Table C8 includes data on the homeless population in Upland by race demographics.The most prevalent races in Upland that are experiencing homelessness are the White and Black populations.While the white population is most prevalent overall in Upland's population, there is a relatively small Black population in the City. This indicates that there is a disproportionately large portion of the homeless population that is Black.

Geographic Concentrations of Substandard Housing and Homelessness To understand the trends of substandard housing and homelessness, the City conducted a geographic review of the concentrations of substandard housing and homelessness in the City. Figure C36 displays the concentrations of both substandard housing and homelessness in Upland. Generally, both are concentrated more in the southern portion of the City. The City is including programs in the Housing Element with geographic targeting to areas in south Upland address these needs. Specifically,this includes:
• Program 2. HOME Improvement provides loans of up to $90,000 to lower income households for repair work to single-family owner-occupied homes. Funds must be used to correct code deficiencies in the structure. Eligible improvements include electrical, plumbing, kitchen and bathroom improvements, furnace and hot water heater replacement, home painting, structural upgrading, roofing, foundation and drainage improvements,disabled access,windows, doors and frames,rodent and pest extermination and repairs, fence improvements, and energy conservation. This program is targeted for 50%of assistance to households south of Foothill Boulevard. • Program 3. Emergency Repairs for Homeowners targets 50% of assistance to households south of Foothill Boulevard.The program provides a grant of up to $10,000 for emergency repairs to very-low income households.
• Program 4. Rental Acquisition and Rehabilitation includes a target of 50%of assistance to households south of Foothill Boulevard. This program provides a zero interest loan of up to $30,000 for lower- income tenants for improvements such as structural,roofing,insulation,plumbing,electrical,lead paint abatement,accessibility improvements,foundation work,habitability,and health and safety hazards. • Program 5. Multi-Family Rental Rehabilitation Program includes a targeting of 65%of funds to areas south of Foothill Boulevard to improve existing affordable housing stock. The program provides up to $25,000 for housing rehabilitation.
• Program 24. Place-Based Improvements in south Upland includes a number of efforts to improve south Upland. This includes a Business Attraction Assistance Program, Historic Downtown Revitalization Program, and over $13 million in Capital Improvements such as ADA improvements, street and alley improvements,and complete street rehabilitation.

Substandard Housing
Local windshield surveys and review noted that substandard housing is most prevalent in areas with older housing stock and lower median incomes. These households commonly experience overcrowding and substandard conditions at a higher rate regionwide and in Upland. Concentrations of substandard housing are shown in blue in Figure C36. Generally, these areas include older, smaller apartments and homes in need of repair. These apartments generally have lower rental costs and higher rates overcrowding. The locations of these concentrations correlate directly with available data on concentrations of overcrowded households.

Homelessness
As shown in Figure C36, local knowledge determined that there is a higher concentration of the homeless population in downtown Upland,in the southeast area of the City.Within downtown there are no campsites.

City of Upland General Plan Housing Element Page H-197

Page 668 of 722 ends

but there are congregations of homeless people in the areas around City Hall and the Pacific Electric Trail.

Additional concentrations in downtown Upland include Olivedale Park and Memorial Park.

There are homeless encampments in areas of southwest Upland. These areas include an undeveloped parcel from which the City frequently dismantles campsites,and an area in the nearby shopping centers.There is also significant camping adjacent to the freeway in the Caltrans vacant right-of-way areas.

Displacement Risk
Displacement refers to any involuntary household move caused by landlord action or market changes.

Displacement can be caused by rising housing costs,insufficient affordable housing opportunities, expiration of affordability covenants, evictions,housing discrimination,or the physical demolition of existing housing to make way for new development.

The Urban Displacement Project at the University of California, Berkeley, developed a map of "sensitive communities" where residents may be particularly vulnerable to displacement in the event of increased redevelopment and drastic shifts in housing cost. Sensitive communities are defined based on the following set of criteria:

City of Upland General Plan Housing Element Page H-198

Page 669 of 722 ends

May 2024
• The share of very low-income residents is above 20 percent. • The census tract must also meet two of the following criteria:
o The share of renters is above 40 percent.
o The share of people of color is above 50 percent.
o The share of very low-income households (50 percent AMI or below) that are severely rent burdened is above the county median.
o The census tract,or areas in close proximity,have been experiencing displacement pressures.

Displacement pressure is defined as:
o The percentage change in rent in a selected census tract, divided by county median rent increases OR
o Median rent in a selected census tract, minus median rent for all surrounding tracts, divided by median rent for all tracts in county(rent gap).

As shown in Figure C37, portions of Upland south of Foothill Boulevard are considered vulnerable to displacement. Displacement mitigation strategies include tenant protections, physical maintenance and conservation of the existing affordable housing stock,preservation of existing deed-restricted affordable units at-risk of conversion to market-rate, acquisition and rehabilitation of existing housing units, requiring the replacement of existing affordable units demolished as part of redevelopment,and facilitating construction of additional affordable housing. The Housing Plan (Chapter 5) includes programs to implement all of these strategies.

The RHNA sites are largely rezoning existing industrial or upzoning mixed-use parcels,minimizing the risk of displacement in south Upland. Additionally, any affordable residential units that are demolished must be replaced(Program 6).As noted in the site chapter,there are few areas of the City in a flood hazard or very high fire severity zone,minimizing the risk of displacement due to disaster.

Findings
Overall, renters of all races and demographics experience higher rates of housing problems, over 60 percent, while less than 30 percent of White or Black owners experience housing problems. Rates of housing problems are generally lower for owners in the City compared to the County,while rates of housing problems for renters are relatively comparable at the County and City level.Both overpayment and overcrowding are more prevalent in lower resource areas in southern Upland,where the population is generally more predominantly non-White and has lower median-incomes. The presence of the sites in these areas is not anticipated to exacerbate conditions,and allows for more housing near transit hubs and job opportunities.

Other Contributing Factor— Historic Patterns of Development The City was incorporated in 1906 and at the time,the north side of Foothill contained citrus groves,and the south side of Foothill contained citrus groves and the downtown commercial area,citrus packing industry and the surrounding housing.This resulted in the oldest housing in Upland being primarily south of Foothill,other than more recent infill developments.The Cities first Zoning Code was adopted in 1933,which included multi- family and single-family zoning south of foothill, with the north being primarily agricultural, which further City of Upland General Plan 1 Housing Element Page H-200

Page 671 of 722 ends

May 2024
increased housing south of Foothill.After WWII,the typical suburban development pattern began to develop in the City. South of Foothill, multi-family zones remained and expanded,while developers bought up citrus groves to develop single family residential. Suburban development first started in the south, and then, starting in the 1950's and continuing through the 1990's, developers began to buy and develop citrus groves north of Foothill, resulting in newer housing stock primarily consisting of a larger, single-family homes on lot sizes 10,000 square feet and larger.Today,the City primarily receives infill development housing projects throughout the City,but the neighborhoods north of Foothill continue to primarily consist of low to medium density single- family development,with the oldest housing stock and multi-family development in the neighborhoods south of Foothill.

Fair Housing Issues, Contributing Factors, and Meaningful Actions The City has adopted goals and actions that specifically address the contributing factors identified in the AFFH analysis.While the City views all contributing factors as important,higher priority was given to factors that limit fair housing choice and/or negatively impact fair housing per Government Code section 65583(c)(10)(A)(iv).

Table C9 displays the identified fair housing issue, contributing factor, actions taken to address the contributing factor,and priority level for each issue.Relevant programs are referenced in the action column for each contributing factor.

Table C10 provides a detailed overview of actions included in Housing Element Programs that are aimed at affirmatively furthering fair housing.The table separates the actions by their identified fair housing issue and priority level. It summarizes the specific commitment, timeline, geographic targeting, and metric for each program.

Policy Recommendations for 6th Cycle Housing Element
Dear Planning staff:

YIMBY Law submits this letter to share our policy goals and recommendations for the Policies and Programs section of your Housing Element.We appreciate the opportunity to participate in the Housing Element process.

The Policies and Programs section of the city's Housing Element must respond to data,analysis and findings presented in the Housing Needs section. We repeatedly see findings that housing prices are high, segregation exists,and there is a lack of housing for special populations, but the Policies and Programs don't respond to these findings or try to change outcomes.The overview of the city's housing environment should set the scene,and the policies and programs should explain what the city is going to do to fix it.

Our policy goals are as follows:

Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing

1. Prioritize rezoning in high resource, historically exclusionary neighborhoods.

Many of the highest resource neighborhoods with the best access to jobs,good schools, and other amenities have histories of exclusion which are still reflected in their zoning. Cities should rezone to allow more housing opportunities in those neighborhoods, particularly those with low Vehicle Miles Traveled, as part of their 1 City of Upland General Plan 1 Housing Element Page H-231

Page 702 of 722 ends

May 2024
Housing Elements.

2. Establish a strong tenant protection ordinance so that new housing benefits everyone. Development should not permanently displace current residents.

Housing replacement programs,temporary housing vouchers, right of return,and demolition controls will create stability for renters while allowing new homes to be built for new households and to accommodate the growth associated with RHNA.

In your sites inventory and rezoning programs,you should prioritize development on sites with owner-occupied housing&commercial uses over those with existing rent-controlled apartments or other rental housing with lower income residents.

3. Support homeownership opportunities for historically excluded groups.

Homeownership continues to be a path to building financial security and inter-generational wealth,which has been systematically denied to many Americans.As a society,we need to make this right by intentionally offering opportunities to communities who have been excluded.The housing element should identify opportunities to create a variety of for-sale housing types and create programs to facilitate property ownership among excluded groups.

Site Capacity

4. Adequately plan for density.Ensure that a site's density will accommodate the number of homes that are projected to be built. In addition, make sure height limits,setback requirements, FAR,and other controls allow for adequate density and the ability to achieve a site's realistic capacity. Housing will not be feasible if you have a high density paired with low height limits.This density should be emphasized around jobs and transit and should go beyond the Mullin density in those areas.

5. Provide sufficient zoned capacity to accommodate all income levels, including a minimum No Net Loss buffer of 30%. Not every site will be developed at maximum density during the eight-year planning period. Identify an ample amount of opportunity sites and zone the sites to accommodate lower-income housing types(usually a statutory minimum of 30 dwelling units per acre)to give the city the best chance at meeting its RHNA.

City of Upland General Plan Housing Element Page H-232

Page 703 of 722 ends

May 2024

6. Use data from the 5th Cycle to calculate the likelihood of development for your 6th Cycle site inventory. Likelihood of development is a measure of the probability of an inventory site being developed during the planning period.The median likelihood of development across the state is 25%, meaning only one of every four sites will likely be developed during the planning period for the median city. Incorporating the likelihood of development into the zoned capacity will set the city up to successfully achieve their RHNA,making the housing element less of a paper exercise and more of an actionable,functional document.

Accessory Dwelling Units

7. Commit to an automatic mid-cycle adjustment if ADU permitting activity is lower than estimated in the housing element.We highly recommend complying with HCD's standards of using one of its"safe harbor"methodologies to anticipate future ADU production. However,if the city is optimistic about ADU growth,then creating an automatic mid-cycle adjustment will automatically facilitate alternative housing options(i.e.,a rezoning program, removing development constraints,ADU incentives,etc.)if the city falls behind the estimated ADU production.

8. Incentivize new ADUs,including those that are rent-restricted for moderate- or lower-income households or that are prioritized for households with housing choice vouchers.Consider offering low-or no-interest loans,forgivable loans,impact fee waivers for ADUs that are 750 square feet or larger,allowances to facilitate two-story and second-story ADU construction,etc.

Zoning

9. Allow residential to be built in areas that are zoned for commercial use.

There are a myriad of ways to do this,but a housing overlay is one common policy.

Additionally,consider eliminating new commercial space in mixed-use developments where there is not a strong demand or there is otherwise a glut of commercial space that is unused or frequently vacant.

10.Allow flexibility in inclusionary zoning.Cities should require different percentages for different AMI levels.Additionally,we urge cities to incentivize land City of Upland General Plan Housing Element Page H-233

Page 704 of 722 ends

May 2024
dedication to affordable developers in order for market-rate developers to meet their inclusionary requirements.Avoid getting trapped into thinking that the affordable units must be"sprinkled throughout"the market-rate units,or require the market-rate units to look exactly the same as the affordable ones.This should be balanced against not locating all of the affordable units in one place and ghettoizing neighborhoods by creating or perpetuating racially concentrated areas of poverty.

Better Entitlement Process&Reducing Barriers to Development

11. Ensure that the city has a ministerial process for housing permitting, especially multi-family housing,and remove impact fees for deed-restricted housing.A discretionary process for housing development creates uncertainty and adds to the cost of construction. For example, multi-family housing should not require a conditional use permit or city council approval unless the builder is asking for unique and extraordinary concessions. Right-sizing governmental constraints,entitlement processes,and impact fees will help the city successfully meet its RHNA.

12. Reduce parking standards and eliminate parking minimums. Minimum parking requirements are a major constraint on housing,especially for lower cost housing types.They can cost in excess of$30,000 per spot and can raise rents by as much as 17%,and eliminating them is particularly important for smaller&other spatially constrained sites.Consider adopting a parking maximum.

13.Cap fees on all new housing.Most construction costs are outside the City's control,but reducing impact fees can demonstrate that a city is serious about building new housing.At a minimum,cities should delay the collection of impact fees until the issuance of the certificate of occupancy to reduce financial impacts on new housing and make the units cheaper by not asking the developer to carry impact fee charges or debt throughout the construction phase.

14. Provide local funding.One of the largest barriers to building new affordable homes is the lack of city/county funds available to assemble sites, provide gap funding,and to pay for dedicated staff.Without new funding,especially at the local level,we will not be able to build more affordable homes. There are three City of Upland General Plan Housing Element Page H-234

Page 705 of 722 ends

May 2024
new revenue streams that should be considered: 1)Transfer tax,a one-time payment levied by a jurisdiction on the sale of a home,may be utilized to raise much needed revenue to fund affordable homes;2)Vacancy tax may be collected on vacant land to convince landowners to sell their underutilized properties and be used to fund the construction of affordable homes;3)Commercial linkage fees should be adopted or revisited for increases on new commercial developments.

We urge you to include these policies in your 6th cycle Housing Element.

Draft Environmental Assessment
of Implementing the Los Angeles ADP Update
Project 8 is proposed for FY28. Designs for the project would not begin until FY26. This long- range project will undergo future NEPA analyses as needed, tiering from this EA, when specific project design details are known.

Project 9. Construct new training building at CA165 March AFRC/AMSA 19(G) and divest of CA088 Thrall Hall ARC in Upland. CA165 March AFRC/AMSA 19(G) is a 48-acre site in the City of Moreno Valley in Riverside County.The property is USAR-owned and is encompassed by the March Air Reserve Base (ARB)to the north, west, and south, while much of the surrounding land is owned by the March Joint Powers Authority(JPA). The site is completely developed, and has three training buildings (Buildings 100, 101, and 1000), an AMSA/OMS (Building 103), and several storage buildings. Each of the three training buildings is a two-story concrete structure built within the last 13 years.

The proposed project would be to construct a 300-member ARC with primary facilities to include an approximately 37,700-SF training building and 2,130-SF unheated storage building on previously developed land within the CA165 March AFRC property boundary.Site activities would include land clearing, paving, general site improvements, and utility connections.The project also provides for unit storage and adequate parking space for MEP and POV. In addition, the project includes demolishing two buildings totaling 28,290 SF at CA088 Thrall Hall ARC and divesting of the property.

Located in the City of Upland in San Bernardino County on 3.8 acres, CA088 Thrall Hall ARC is an overutilized 1963 vintage facility consisting of a 24,073-SF training building and 4,217-SF vehicle maintenance shop. The facility does not meet AT/FP standards; it is encroached on all sides by surrounding development. CA088 Thrall Hall ARC is not designed to accommodate the number of units currently assigned, and it is missing training areas required to meet unit mobilization missions. Units currently assigned to Thrall Hall ARC would be reassigned to the new training facility at CA165 March AFRC upon project completion, and Thrall Hall ARC would be divested. A REC would be completed by the USAR when the property would be divested as divestment of facilities is categorically excluded from a full NEPA analysis per 32 CFR Part 651, Appendix B§ II (f)(3).

If this project is not provided,the units will be forced to operate in facilities not properly configured to allow the most effective training to complete mission requirements. This will continue to have a negative impact on unit readiness and retention objectives. This project is proposed for FY28.

This long-range project will undergo future NEPA analyses as needed,tiering from this EA,when specific project details are known.

Project 10. Construct a consolidated AMSA/OMS at CA002 Patton Hall ARC/AMSA 94 (Phase 2). Phase 2 of the LRC projects at CA002 Patton Hall ARC/AMSA 94 would be to construct an approximately 19,230-SF consolidated AMSA/OMS on CA002 Patton Hall ARC/AMSA 94. The project also includes constructing an approximately 7,590-SF unheated October 2022 2-9

Robert Dalquest, Director
Development Services Department
City of Upland

Upland, CA 91786
Dear Robert Dalquest:

RE: City of Upland's 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Subsequent Draft Housing Element Thank you for submitting the City of Upland's (City) revised draft housing element received for review on May 20, 2024. Pursuant to Government Code section 65585, subdivision (b), the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is reporting the results of its review.

The revised draft element meets most of the statutory requirements described in HCD's April 12, 2024 review. However, the housing element cannot be found in substantial compliance until the City has completed necessary rezones to address the shortfall of sites to accommodate the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) pursuant to Assembly Bill 1398 (Chapter 358, Statutes of 2021). The housing element will comply with State Housing Element Law (Article 10.6 of the Gov. Code) when it is adopted along with necessary rezones, and submitted to and approved by HCD, in accordance with Government Code section 65585, subdivision (g).

Pursuant to AB 1398, a jurisdiction that failed to adopt a compliant housing element within one year from the statutory deadline cannot be found in compliance until rezones to accommodate a shortfall of sites pursuant to Government Code section 65583, subdivision (c), paragraph (1), subparagraph (A) and Government Code section 65583.2, subdivision (c) are completed. As this year has passed and required rezoning actions in Program 6 (Adequate Sites to Accommodate Regional Housing Needs) have not been completed, the housing element is out of compliance and will remain out of compliance until the rezoning have been completed. Once the City completes the rezone, a copy of the resolution or ordinance should be transmitted to HCD. HCD will review the documentation and issue correspondence identifying the updated status of the City housing element compliance.

Public participation in the development, adoption and implementation of the housing element is essential to effective housing planning. Throughout the housing element process, the City must continue to engage the community, including organizations that represent lower-income and special needs households, by making information regularly available while considering and incorporating comments where appropriate. Please be aware, any revisions to the element must be posted on the local government's website and to email a link to all individuals and organizations that have previously requested notices relating to the local government's housing element at least seven days before submitting to HCD.

Several federal, state, and regional funding programs consider housing element compliance as an eligibility or ranking criteria. For example, the CalTrans Senate Bill (SB) 1 Sustainable Communities grant, the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities programs, and HCD's Permanent Local Housing Allocation consider housing element compliance and/or annual reporting requirements pursuant to Government Code section 65400. With a compliant housing element, the City meets housing element requirements for these and other funding sources.

For your information, some general plan element updates are triggered by housing element adoption. HCD reminds the City to consider timing provisions and welcomes the opportunity to provide assistance. For information, please see the Technical Advisories issued by the Governor's Office of Planning and Research at:
https://www.opr.ca.gov/planning/qeneral-plan/guidelines.html .

HCD appreciates the hard work and dedication the City's housing element team provided, in preparation of the City's housing element and looks forward to receiving the City's adopted housing element. If you have any questions or need additional technical assistance, please contact Reid Miller, of our staff, at Reid.Millerhcd.ca.gov.

Sincerely,

B. Pursuant to Upland Municipal Code Section 17.49.040, which requires that the Planning Commission forward a written recommendation, and reasons for the Page712of722

GPA-24-0002

Page 3 of 5 ends

recommendation, to the City Council concerning a proposed General Plan amendment, the Planning Commission hereby makes the following required findings pursuant to Upland Municipal Code Section 17.49.060:

1. Finding: The proposed General Plan Amendment is in the public interest.

Evidence: The proposed General Plan Amendment is in the public interest because the Housing Element includes policies and programs to facilitate the provision of housing opportunities for all economic segments of the community, including persons with special needs.

2. Finding: The proposed General Plan Amendment is consistent and compatible with the rest of the General Plan.

Evidence: The 2021-2029 Housing Element identifies land use policies to accommodate the City's assigned share of regional housing needs as required by State law and includes programs to ensure consistency between the Land Use Element and the Housing Element.

3. Finding: The potential effects of the proposed General Plan Amendment have been evaluated and have been determined not to be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare.

Evidence: The proposed Housing Element Amendment furthers the public health, safety, and welfare by facilitating the production of housing to address the needs of all Upland residents, including those of all ages, incomes, household sizes and persons with disabilities.

4. Finding: The proposed General Plan Amendment has been processed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the California Government Code and CEQA.

Evidence: The proposed General Plan Amendment has been processed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the California Government Code, including Government Code §65352.3 which regulates tribal consultation requirements for General Plan Amendments and Government Code §65358 which regulates amendments to General Plans. The project is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") (California Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq.), pursuant to State CEQA Regulation §15061(b)(3), because the Housing Element would not approve any development project or other physical change to the environment.

Section 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA). The Project is exempt from the CEQA Guidelines 14 Cal. Code. Regs Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Project may have a significant effect on the environment. The Project is further exempt pursuant to 14 Cal. Code. Regs Section 15162(a) of the CEQA Guidelines. Further, to the extent the Regional Housing Needs determinations are made, the Project is further exempt from

DATE: September 23,2024
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: MICHAEL BLAY,CITY MANAGER
PREPARED BY:KERI JOHNSON,CITY CLERK
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A MEASURE N CITIZENS'

OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is recommended that the City Council consider adopting a Resolution establishing a Measure N Citizens'Oversight Committee and adopting operational guidelines for said committee.

GOAL STATEMENT
The proposed action supports the City's goal of transparency and fiscal responsibility.

BACKGROUND
For over three decades the City of Upland has taken many actions aimed at maintaining the General Fund and the services for residents that it provides.While Upland residents enjoy the local quality of life our community provides, the City's bedroom community status keeps it at a financial deficit compared with other neighboring cities who have more robust commercial development.

The financial impacts to the City have changed over the years,but one common thread exists—continued actions of the State that have reduced and limited City revenues.The Upland 2001 Financial Workout Plan identified the State's reallocation of property tax revenue to the Educational Relief Augmentation Fund as costing Upland$16 million in the 1990's. The Upland 2013 Fiscal Condition Report was written on the heels of the State taking away the City's Redevelopment Agency and,thereby millions of dollars in annual redevelopment funding.The City continues to deal with a long list of unfunded mandates from the State, most notably recent requirements for additional tracking and reporting in the Police Department.

Current challenges to the City budget include inflationary pressures and increased costs of repairing streets and facilities due to deferred maintenance. Those challenges,combined with employee staffing and compensation issues, causing higher turnover of employees and the lost benefit of the institutional knowledge and training dollars that were invested in them.

Beginning in the 1990's, prior City Councils have proactively "kept their financial house in order" by reducing spending to levels consistent with revenue projections. Many City services have been outsourced, major cuts have been made,and employee concessions have been repeatedly requested.While that methodology has allowed the City to maintain its current finances, it has not allowed Upland to make sufficient investments in the areas our residents have expressed a strong desire:Maintaining local streets and alleys and repairing potholes,providing quick responses to 9-1-1 emergencies,and addressing homelessness.

On August 9,2024, the City Council adopted Resolutions placing a transactions and use (sales)tax measure on the November ballot.

On August 29,2024,the City Council unanimously approved the current ballot language.

On September 9,2024 the City Council unanimously adopted Resolution No.6798 expressing their intent to prioritize spending of transactions and use(sales)tax(TUT)revenue for infrastructure and public safety purposes.

Page 716 of 722 ends

ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
The City is committed to fiscal responsibility and transparency.The formation of a Citizens' Oversight Committee is another step in ensuring that funds from the additional sales tax revenue are judiciously allocated to infrastructure and public safety. This committee, composed of community members,would serve as a watchdog, reviewing budgetary decisions and prioritizing expenditures that directly impact the well-being of residents.

By providing an additional platform for public input and scrutiny,the committee would foster greater accountability among decision-makers, ensuring that essential projects such as road repairs and emergency services receive the attention and resources they need. This proactive approach enhances trust between local government and the community.

The current procedure for appointing members to City advisory committees involves each City Council Member submitting their nominations to the City Clerk, who then presents them for ratification at a Council meeting. This method ensures that the committee reflects input from every Council Member,promoting a balanced representation.

While this approach is outlined in the drafted guidelines, the Council is welcome to explore and discuss alternative appointment processes if preferred.

Members of this committee would be required to submit an annual Form 700 Statement of Economic Interests and attend an ethics training course to educate them on the ethical standards required of any individual in local government.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The proposed action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA). Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines defines a project subject to CEQA. The proposed action is not included within the definition of a"project" and thus is exempt.

FISCAL IMPACTS
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

ALTERNATIVES
Provide alternative direction to staff.
