Staff Contact:

Sarah Lansburgh, City Clerk - 530.661.5806

Background:

Every year from September 15th to October 15th, we celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month as a way to honor the distinctive histories and cultures of Hispanics in the U.S. and the many ways in which they have contributed to America’s development.

The 2024 National Hispanic Heritage Month theme, “Pioneers of Change: Shaping the Future Together”, encapsulates the spirit of innovation, resilience, and unity that define the Hispanic experience. The theme recognizes all the Hispanics/Latinos who have been trailblazers and game changers, paving the way for future generations.

During National Latino Heritage Month we recognize the many contributions made and the important presence of Latino Americans in the United States, and celebrate their heritage and culture.

AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: September 17, 2024
ITEM #: H.5
SUBJECT: Renaming of Sports Park Complex

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, approving the renaming of the Woodland Sports Park to the Skip and Julie Davies Sports Park.

Staff Contact:

Christine Engel, Community Services Director, (530) 661-2000, [email protected]

Fiscal Impact:

The renaming of the Woodland Sports Park to honor Skip and Julie Davies would include the installation of a monument sign at the main entrance to the Sports Park. The approximate cost for the monument sign is $50,000 - $70,000. The City will contribute $10,000 to this effort and the remainder will come through fundraising efforts.

Background:

The Woodland Sports Park complex was built in 2008. It includes (4) multipurpose soccer/baseball fields and (1) soccer-only field. Currently, Woodland Recreation Foundation is in the process of constructing 2 fastpitch fields.

Discussion:

Throughout the years, the Community Services Department has solicited the public for potential names for future parks. During each of the park namings, the name of Skip Davies was presented as a potential name.

Mr. Davies has provided service to the community as an educator, commission member, council member, mayor, and volunteer. In these roles, he continuously shaped the lives of youth and young adults. He held administrative positions in education starting in 1966 as a teacher at Woodland High School (and a vice principal and principal within Woodland Joint Unified School District). He later served in administrative roles at Los Rios Community College District, Cosumnes River College (1983 through 1997); Los Rios Community College District (1997-2004); State of California Community College Chancellors Office (2005-2006); and Yuba College District (various years between 2005 and 2015). Skip was on the Parks & Recreation Commission for ten years. He served on the Woodland City Council in the role of Council Member, Vice-Mayor, and Mayor from 2006- 2014. He currently serves on the Board of the Woodland Recreation Foundation and is leading the effort to construct two girls' fastpitch fields at the Woodland Sports Park. Notable projects related to youth that he was involved with over the years include fundraising and building the Weight Room at Woodland High School, the bleacher construction project at Woodland High School (when the bleachers were initially installed), the auxiliary building at Brooks Pool while President of the Woodland Swim Team Board, and taking a lead role in proposing and implementing a sales tax initiative in Woodland to benefit Woodland youth (initially Measure J).

Most recently, during the naming process for a park located in the Prudler development, Skip Davies name was again suggested. It was discussed that while naming the newest park in Woodland after Skip Davies would be an honor, naming a smaller park after him would not be commensurate with the contributions he has made over the last fifty years to the Woodland Community. It was raised that

the Woodland Sports Park should be renamed after Skip and his wife Julie, to honor the countless hours he dedicated, with the unwavering support of his wife, to youth and the betterment of Woodland over the last several decades.

The Parks & Recreation Commission approved recommending the name change to the City Council at the July 22, 2024, Parks & Recreation Commission meeting.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, approving the renaming of the Woodland Sports Park to the Skip and Julie Davies Sports Park.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WOODLAND,

CALIFORNIA TO RENAME THE WOODLAND SPORTS PARK TO HONOR SKIP

AND JULIE DAVIES
WHEREAS, Skip Davies has served the community as an educator, commission member, council member, mayor and volunteer for over fifty years; and WHEREAS, he worked as an administer for the Woodland Joint Unified School District; Los Rios Community College District, Cosumnes River College; Los Rios Community College District; State of California Community College Chancellors Office; and Yuba College District; and
WHEREAS, he served on the Parks & Recreation Commission for ten years and the Woodland City Council as Council Member, Vice-Mayor, and Mayor for eight years; and WHEREAS, his dedication to youth in the community has been shown by his volunteerism to have participated in building a new weight room and bleachers at Woodland High School, proposing and implementing a sales tax initiative (Measure J) to support youth programs in Woodland, and endless ways in which he supported youth programming in the community; and WHEREAS, for the last ten years he has served on the board for the Woodland Recreation Foundation where he has taken the lead in advocating for girls fastpitch and fundraising/constructing two new fastpitch fields at the Woodland Sports Park; and WHEREAS, naming a facility after an individual for serving the community, especially youth, is a small token of appreciation for the impact on lives through his over five decades of dedication.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Woodland hereby renames the Woodland Sports Park to the Skip and Julie Davies Sports Park.

ITEM #: H.6
SUBJECT: Receive Fiscal Year 2024 Report on Affordable
Housing Loan Portfolio and Status of City Affordable
Housing Funds

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the Fiscal Year 2024 report on the City’s affordable housing loan portfolio and use of affordable housing funds.

Staff Contact:

Dan Sokolow – 530-661-2019 [email protected]

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact.

Background:

The City’s affordable housing loan portfolio dates from the late 1980s with a majority of the loans issued in the period of 2006 – 2013. The current principal loan value of the portfolio is approximately $26,881,914 and includes loans held by the Woodland Housing Successor Agency. The Successor Agency was established in 2012 to assume housing loans held by the former Woodland Redevelopment Agency. Repayment of City housing loans is deferred with a few exceptions. The City’s portfolio currently consists of 141 active loans. The attached inventory details the portfolio.

Street addresses and parcel numbers have been removed from the owner-occupied loans in order to not identify individual borrowers.

While the City has relied on federal/state grants and loans to support affordable housing rental projects, it has been receiving Spring Lake off site affordable housing fees and affordable housing in- lieu fees since 2005 and 2016, respectively. The use of these funds has been focused on affordable housing rental projects. Affordable housing in-lieu fees have been generated primarily from subdivisions in the Spring Lake Specific Plan. For the off-site fee, the City receives $1,100 for each market rate unit in Spring Lake prior to final map recording.

Discussion:

Affordable Housing Loan Portfolio
Management of the City’s affordable housing loan portfolio includes: organization and maintenance of the physical files; maintaining electronic copies of loan agreements, promissory notes, deeds of trust, and affordability agreements; regularly updating a spreadsheet system for tracking individual loans with key borrower information (property address, borrower name, assessor parcel number, source of funds for loan, principal amount of loan, start date of loan, loan term, interest rate, and City monitoring responsibilities); monitoring affordable housing properties (owner-occupied homes and rental projects); preparing payoff notices; reviewing loan subordination requests for compliance with City loan funding sources; and working with individual City borrowers who are experiencing financial difficulties that may put them at risk of defaulting on their principal loans.

The City’s ongoing responsibilities for its affordable housing portfolio vary. For example, the City is a HOME funds lender for three multifamily projects: Sycamore Pointe (11 HOME units), Terracina at Spring Lake (85 HOME units), and Rochdale Grange (43 HOME units). Pursuant to Federal HOME

requirements, the City monitors each project in January, which involves inspecting a representative sample of the units, reviewing tenant files and property owner documents (insurance coverage, financials, and reserve accounts), and an overall inspection of the exterior facilities. For owner- occupied loans (first time homebuyers and rehabilitations), the City contacts the property owners on an annual basis and requires them to certify continued owner-occupancy and provide proof of homeowner insurance coverage. Currently, the City monitors 81 owner-occupied properties. In some instances, borrowers have received more than one loan from the City.

Affordable Housing In-Lieu and Spring Lake Off-Site Affordable Housing Fees During FY 2024, the City received affordable housing in-lieu fee revenues in the amount of $1,879.194, primarily from affordable housing fees collected at building permit issuance. The City did not receive Spring Lake off-site fee revenues during the fiscal year (off-site fees are paid prior to subdivision map recording.) While the City did not expend in-lieu or off-site fees during FY 2024, the City Council approved a $900,000 loan commitment with Friends of the Mission for the FOM/Woodland Opportunity Village Freeman Garden Court affordable housing project. In July 2024, the City Council modified the loan agreement to substitute a portion of the loan commitment, approximately $50,000, with funds from the City’s State Permanent Local Housing (PLHA) grant.

Currently, the affordable housing in-lieu fee fund has an uncommitted balance of approximately $4,462,647 available to support affordable housing projects. On tonight's Council agenda is an item requesting approval of a purchase and sale agreement for the acquisition of the remaining vacant land adjacent to the Vista del Robles affordable housing development (corner of West Main Street and Ashley Avenue). In-lieu fee revenues would be used to cover this purchase and the site will be acquired for the purpose of developing additional affordable rental units. For the Spring Lake off-site fee fund, the unencumbered balance is approximately $488,087 available to support affordable housing projects.

City Loans for Hotel Woodland Project
Multiple loans funded through the City’s Community Development Block Grant program and the former Woodland Redevelopment Agency with a cumulative principal value in excess of $1,000,000 were provided to nonprofit Community Housing Opportunities Corporation (CHOC) during the period of 1994 – 1996, to assist with the rehabilitation of the Hotel Woodland property and conversion of the three upper floors into a single room occupancy affordable housing development. The initial loan funded with redevelopment tax increment proceeds was due and payable in January of this year and City staff made CHOC aware of this. According to CHOC staff, the entire property which includes the first floor retail spaces and the residential development on the upper floors is being offered for sale by CHOC and three parties have expressed interest. CHOC anticipates that the property will require rehabilitation, but the scope and cost of this work is unknown.

Repayment of the City loan due this year and the remaining loans due in 2025 and 2026 is uncertain.

While all the City loans contain residual receipts provisions, the residential aspect of Hotel Woodland has not generated sufficient income to trigger a residual receipts payment to the City. Furthermore, according to CHOC staff, CHOC has invested approximately $700,000 of its own funds in Hotel Woodland and has not received repayment.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the Fiscal Year 2024 report on the City’s affordable housing loan portfolio and use of affordable housing funds.

ITEM #: H.7
SUBJECT: Introduce and Waive the First Reading of an
Ordinance Revising Sections within Chapter 10.16,
“Police Department Initiated Towing Services,” to
Title 10 of the Woodland Municipal Code

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council introduce and waive the first reading of an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Woodland, California revising sections within Chapter 10.16, “Police Department Initiated Towing Services,” to Title 10 of the Woodland Municipal Code.

Staff Contact:

Derrek Kaff, Chief of Police, 530-661-7865 [email protected]

Background:

The purpose of this agenda item is to present proposed changes and revisions to the Police Department Initiated Towing Services City Ordinance that was identified by a tenured Police Sergeant during a comprehensive review of the application process for the Tow Rotation List. During this review, it was determined that provisions for a renewal application were missing. The revisions aim to simplify renewal applications for tow companies that are in good standing on the past year’s tow rotation list. The current process creates extensive work for the tow company, driver, Police Department personnel and the City Attorney. The new renewal process will continue to uphold the City's commitment to upholding the highest standards of legal compliance, accountability, and effective governance.

Discussion:

The review revealed that Section 1016.070 allows the Police Chief to create a renewal application for tow companies to continue participating on the Tow Rotation List. The Ordinance currently does not provide guidance for a renewal application.

To address these inconsistencies, Police Department staff propose adding Section G:

10.16.70 G. Renewal applications shall include the following:
• Updated City business license
• Updated liability and workers' compensation insurance certificates • An updated employee roster and employee information forms • Updated fee schedule for review and approval by the Chief of police • Updated CHP inspection forms for tow vehicles
• Any additional pertinent documentation requested by the Chief of Police

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council introduce and waive the first reading of an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Woodland, California revising sections within Chapter 10.16, "Police

Department Initiated Towing Services.”

MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO OFFENSES-MISCELLANEOUS
WHEREAS, the City of Woodland, California (“City”) is a municipal corporation, duly organized under the constitution and laws of the State of California; and WHEREAS, the City’s Police Department (“Department”) desires to amend Chapter

ITEM #: H.8
SUBJECT: Revised Woodland Fire Department Construction
Plan Check Fee Schedule and New Cannabis Grow
Facility or Dispensary Fire Operational Permit Fee

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. , approving the revised Woodland Fire Department Construction Plan Check fee schedule, including the addition of a new Cannabis Grow Facility or Dispensary Fire Operational Permit Fee, to ensure clarity, transparency, and alignment with regional standards while promoting efficient development processes.

Staff Contact:

Matt Flint, Fire Marshal, 530-661-5855, [email protected]

Fiscal Impact:

Fire Plan Review: The current fee schedule is based on square footage, which can be inconsistent and less transparent. The revised schedule introduces a flat rate based on individual fire suppression systems, ensuring a more straightforward and predictable fee structure. This approach does not result in significant fee increases but rather provides a more transparent and consistent method for assigning fees.

Fire Operational Permit: The addition of a new Fire Operational Permit fee for Cannabis Grow Facility or Dispensary will generate an annual fee per establishment location in the amount of $354.00 in line with our current Fire Fee Schedule.

Background:

Fire Plan Review: The current fee schedule, last comprehensively revised nearly a decade ago, has only seen annual adjustments to align with FEMA's fee schedule. This revision is the result of a thorough comparison with neighboring and regional jurisdictions, ensuring that the fees are both competitive and fair.

The proposed adjustment to the Woodland Fire Department Construction Plan Check fee schedule is designed to enhance clarity and transparency for all stakeholders involved in the construction and development process. The revised fee structure more accurately reflects the actual costs incurred by the Fire Department during the plan review process. This adjustment aims to streamline and improve the efficiency of the review process, ultimately benefiting applicants by allowing for expedited project approvals.

By implementing reasonable and predictable fees, the revised schedule is expected to increase development interest in the community, foster growth and benefit the local economy. Overall, the adjustments will contribute to a more efficient review process, aligning fees with actual review costs, and promoting a more favorable environment for development.

Fire Operational Permit: Council previously approved the addition of Cannabis Dispensaries in Woodland. Due to this change, the Fire Department will require a Fire Operational Permit for all Cannabis Grow Facilities or Dispensaries. A fire operational permit is issued by a fire department to

authorize specific activities, operations, or uses of facilities that may pose a fire hazard or require fire safety oversight. The permit ensures that these activities comply with fire safety regulations, allowing the fire department to inspect and monitor conditions to prevent fires, mitigate risks, and ensure public safety. The proposed fee reflect the costs to the Department of administering and issuing this permit.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. , approving the revised Woodland Fire Department Construction Plan Check fee schedule, including the new Cannabis Grow Facility or Dispensary Fire Operational Permit Fee to ensure clarity, transparency, and alignment with regional standards while promoting efficient development processes.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: September 17, 2024
ITEM #: H.10
SUBJECT: Carry-Over Unencumbered Appropriations from
FY2023/24 to FY2024/25

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, authorizing the carry-over of unencumbered appropriations from fiscal year 2023/24 to fiscal year 2024/25, totaling $3,373,396.

Staff Contact:

Karie Farnham, Financial Services Manager (530) 661-5846, [email protected]

Fiscal Impact:

Approval of the staff recommendations will authorize an amendment to the FY2024/25 budget in the amount of $3,373,396. Funding for carry-over items was previously approved as part of the FY2023/24 budget for specific projects and program expenditures and is available for re- appropriation in FY2024/25.

The following table summarizes the recommended appropriations by fund source:

Background:

In general, annual budget appropriations that are not expended or encumbered (set-aside to cover costs of existing contractual obligations) by year-end revert back to fund balance and are subsequently available for reappropriation in future budgets. However, each year, selected funding allocations in the preceding annual budget that support specific projects and/or priority needs may be requested for reappropriation. Reappropriation of unexpended and unencumbered funding is typically limited to funding needed to continue multi-year projects as well as funding allocated in the budget for a specific purpose that was unable to be completed prior to year-end. Carry-over requests submitted by each department have been reviewed by Finance staff and the City Manager, with recommendations to the City Council based on the following criteria:

1. The fund paying for the carry-over, overall, is in good health.

2. Revenue was analyzed at a fund and department level to ensure that revenues received were consistent with anticipated fiscal year results.

3. Expenditures were analyzed at a fund and department level to ensure expenditure budgets were not in excess of anticipated levels and that adequate savings exist to fund carry-over requests.

4. Consistency of carry-over request with intent of original appropriation.

Departments submitted a total of $3,663,490 in carry-over requests for the funds described herein.

Due to the criteria outlined above and budget appropriation authority, staff is recommending that $3,373,396 be carried-over from FY2023/24 to FY2024/25. The detailed carry-over requests that are recommended for approval are attached to this staff report as Exhibit A.

Carryover of unexpended budgets for ongoing capital improvement projects is automatic at the end of each fiscal year, as authorized in the annual budget adoption resolution. Because of this automatic carryover, none of the budgets assigned to projects are included or discussed herein.

Discussion:

The carry-over recommendation consists of funding requests across seven (7) fund types: General (includes Measure J), Internal Service Funds, Enterprise Funds, Capital Funds, Special Revenue Funds, Measure F, and Measure R.

General Fund
General Fund expenditure budgets include activities for regular General Fund operations totaling $395,105 and another $64,915 for Measure J activities. Staff's recommendations within the General Fund carry-overs include items that have been noted as high priority by the City Council, such as funding for downtown improvement efforts, and appropriations in support of economic development and code enforcement abatement. Other carry-overs are for funding that was committed but not spent in the previous fiscal year, such as the funding for the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update costs, special events, parking lot upkeep, and other annual operations and maintenance expenses, as well as various building improvement upgrades.

Measure J's carry-over item of $64,915 in User Group Seed Funding was identified and committed by the City Council as seed money to assist various community groups with fundraising for the build-out of the Sports Park at the Community Center; this continues to be carried forward until the user groups submit the required information.

Internal Service Fund
Various appropriations are being requested from Internal Service Funds totaling $522,140. Such requests include an appropriation of $45,500 for concrete replacement at the entrance of the Public Library, an appropriation of $74,321 to finalize equipment installation on police vehicles purchased in FY24, and an appropriation of $100,000 for a variety of facility maintenance needs. The majority request for funding of $225,000 is to implement a new citywide Document Management System. This implementation was delayed due to staffing resources being used for the implementation of a separate citywide enterprise resource planning (ERP) project.

Enterprise Funds
Enterprise Funds carry-over requests are largely a continuation of environmental/sustainability funded activities to satisfy the requirements of Senate Bill (SB) 1383, specialized staff training and certification costs, and a variety of facility maintenance needs.

Capital Funds
Capital Funds carry-over item of $1,250 is to fund the Professional Growth & Development/Education Incentive program available to current full-time employees outlined per respective bargaining units.

Special Revenue Funds
Special Revenue Funds carry-over requests are largely funding grant programs that can span multiple fiscal years. Such requested carry-overs include funding for First-Time Homebuyer Assistance and environmental/sustainability grant funds. Also Included is funding for special investigations, a concrete replacement project located in Sping Lake, and assistance with purchasing a variety of books and materials for the Library's Bookmobile.

Measure F
Measure F includes carry-over requests mainly for various park projects continuing into FY2024/25.

Part of this funding is identified each year to carry out citywide park improvement projects. These are priority projects that include deferred maintenance and replacement of structures and amenities.

Other requests include funding for various patrol equipment for the Police Department as well as the Community Enhancement Team.

Measure R
Measure R includes a carry-over request of $200,000 for Advance Peace as well as unused Utility Assistance Program funds to be used in FY25.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, authorizing the carry-over of unencumbered appropriations from fiscal year 2023/24 to fiscal year 2024/25, totaling $3,373,396.

AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: September 17, 2024
ITEM #: H.11
SUBJECT: Resolution in Support of Proposition 36, The
Homelessness, Drug Addiction and Theft Reduction
Act

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. _____, in support of Proposition 36, The Homelessness, Drug Addiction and Theft Reduction Act.

Staff Contact:

Derrek Kaff, Chief of Police, 530-661-7865, [email protected]

Background:

In November 2014, California voters approved Proposition 47, which reclassified certain non-violent felonies as misdemeanors. While the intent of Proposition 47 was to reduce the state's prison population and promote rehabilitation, it has led to unintended consequences, particularly in terms of repeat offenders and crimes involving narcotics.

Proposition 36, a newly proposed initiative, seeks to address these issues by ensuring accountability for repeat offenders and those committing drug-related crimes while still maintaining a focus on rehabilitation and diversion programs. Proposition 36 would provide a balanced approach to public safety, justice, and rehabilitation. Proposition 36 also received a support position by the League of California Cities.

Proposition 47, also known as the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act, was passed by California voters in 2014. The proposition reclassified certain non-violent felonies, such as drug possession and theft under $950, as misdemeanors. The intent behind Proposition 47 was to reduce the state's prison population, save taxpayer dollars, and allocate savings to mental health services, drug treatment, and crime prevention programs.

While the goals of Proposition 47 were well-intended, several negative impacts have arisen since its implementation. Law enforcement agencies across the state have reported an increase in repeat offenders, as the reduced penalties have diminished the deterrent effect of the law. Additionally, crimes involving narcotics have surged, and there is a growing concern that the reclassification of drug-related offenses has led to a lack of accountability for those repeatedly engaging in illegal drug activities.

A particularly troubling consequence of Proposition 47 has been the significant rise in retail thefts. By raising the threshold for felony theft to $950, the proposition inadvertently encouraged a surge in petty theft and shoplifting incidents, as offenders have recognized that the consequences for such crimes have been substantially reduced. This has placed a strain on local businesses, law enforcement, and the community as a whole, as retail thefts have become more frequent and brazen.

Discussion:

Proposition 36, the Homelessness, Drug Addiction, and Theft Reduction Act, aims to refine the approach established by Proposition 47 by addressing the gaps that have emerged. The proposed initiative focuses on: Council Agenda 9-3-2024 12.B-11.

1. Accountability for Repeat Offenders: Proposition 36 will impose stricter penalties on individuals who repeatedly commit crimes, particularly those involving narcotics, while maintaining the reclassification of first-time, non-violent offenses as misdemeanors.

2. Narcotics-Related Crimes: The proposition seeks to ensure that crimes involving the use or sale of narcotics are met with appropriate consequences to deter further criminal behavior, particularly for repeat offenders, while also addressing the growing fentanyl crisis by providing stricter penalties and mandatory treatment options for those involved with this deadly substance.

3. Retail Thefts: Proposition 36 addresses the increase in retail thefts by lowering the felony threshold for theft offenses, ensuring that individuals who repeatedly engage in shoplifting or other forms of retail theft face more serious consequences. This measure is intended to restore a sense of security to businesses and the community.

4. Rehabilitation and Diversion Programs: Proposition 36 is not advocating for a return to mass incarceration but rather emphasizes the importance of diversion programs for individuals convicted of drug-related crimes. These programs will focus on treatment and rehabilitation, offering offenders a chance to break the cycle of addiction and crime.

The overall intent of Proposition 36 is to strike a balance between public safety, accountability, and rehabilitation. By ensuring that repeat offenders and those engaged in drug-related, or retail theft crimes face appropriate consequences, the proposition aims to reduce recidivism and enhance community safety. At the same time, by promoting diversion and rehabilitation programs, Proposition 36 offers a pathway for individuals to receive the help they need to overcome addiction and reintegrate into society as productive members.

Proposition 36 is sponsored by Californians for Safer Communities, a coalition advocating for more stringent law enforcement measures to ensure community safety. Key endorsements come from influential figures and organizations, including:
• Major city mayors such as London Breed of San Francisco and Matt Mahan of San José. • California District Attorneys Association
• League of California Cities
• CalAsian Chamber of Commerce
• California Black Chamber of Commerce
• California Delivery Association
• California Hispanic Chamber of Commerce
• California Small Business Association
• California Peace Officers Association
• California Police Chiefs Association
• America’s Homeless Veterans
• Veterans In Business Network
• Women’s Veteran Alliance
• Coalition of Small and Disabled Veteran Businesses
• Large retailers affected by thefts, including Walmart and Home Depot, highlighting the broad base of support from both public officials and the business community.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. ____ in support of Proposition 36, The Homelessness, Drug Addiction and Theft Reduction Act.

RESOLUTION NO._____

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WOODLAND, CALIFORNIA IN SUPPORT OF PROPOSITION 36: THE HOMELESSNESS, DRUG

ADDICTION, AND THEFT REDUCTION ACT
WHEREAS, while Proposition 47 aimed to make California’s justice system more equitable, it has led to unintended consequences in the past decade; and WHEREAS, since passage of Proposition 47 Woodland has observed increases in repeat and often organized retail theft, resulting in millions of dollars of loss to Woodland businesses and challenging efforts to encourage individuals to seek drug and mental health treatment; and WHEREAS, these challenges faced by Woodland and similar communities statewide can be addressed through targeted amendments to Proposition 47 via the ballot; and WHEREAS, Proposition 36, the Homelessness, Drug Addiction, and Theft Reduction Act, is a bipartisan measure offering targeted reforms to Proposition 47 that surpass what legislative proposals alone have achieved; and
WHEREAS, rampant retail theft has undermined the safety and economic stability of businesses and residents in Woodland, diminishing the deterrent capabilities of local law enforcement; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 36 aims to enhance community safety by ensuring repeat offenders are held accountable, rather than being prematurely released back into the community; and
WHEREAS, the escalating fentanyl crisis, which now accounts for 20 percent of youth fatalities in California, has profoundly affected Woodland, necessitating decisive action; and WHEREAS, under Proposition 36, fentanyl will be classified distinctly as a hard drug, traffickers will face appropriate accountability, and judges will have greater discretion in sentencing; and
WHEREAS, addressing the root causes of retail theft is essential for breaking the cycle of repeat offenses, which includes providing robust mental health and drug treatment services, and job training for those affected by homelessness and substance abuse; and WHEREAS, the City of Woodland's existing state legislative platform does not cover the issues addressed by Proposition 36, highlighting the need for this supportive resolution.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Woodland hereby takes a legislative support position for Proposition 36, the Homelessness, Drug Addiction, and Theft Reduction Act and the benefit that it provides for the community’s safety.

ITEM #: I.12
SUBJECT: Public Hearing and Approval of Fiscal Year 2023/24 Community Development Block Grant Consolidated
Annual Performance and Evaluation Report

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions: 1) Hold a public hearing to receive community input on the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023/24 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER); 2) Adopt Resolution No. , approving the FY 2023/24 CDBG CAPER in substantially the same form presented to the City Council and incorporating public comments received at the public hearing; and 3) Authorize the City Manager or designee to finalize and submit the CAPER to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development after the conclusion of the 15-day public comment period.

Staff Contact:

Dan Sokolow, Senior Planner (530) 661-2019, [email protected]

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact.

Background:

Each year the City’s Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) is required to submit the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The CAPER is a mandated report for all CDBG grantees and summarizes the City of Woodland’s progress towards meeting its community development needs and objectives in one program year. The City’s community needs and objectives are outlined in its Consolidated Plan, also known as the Strategic Plan; the current five-year plan covers the period from July 1, 2020 – June 30, 2025. The Consolidated Plan is an additional document required by HUD, which coordinates all elements of community development, housing, neighborhood development, and economic development planning into a single plan and vision of activities and strategies to be undertaken during a three-to-five-year time period. The programs and activities budgeted each year to meet these community development goals are outlined in the City’s Annual Action Plan for the CDBG program, as approved by the City Council each spring. The CAPER is completed following each program year as a financial summary and a narrative of the accomplishments of the prior CDBG fiscal year’s Annual Action Plan.

The contents of the CAPER are summarized below:

Summary of Resources:

The CAPER contains a summary of the financial resources that the City has at its disposal to address identified community needs and objectives. CDBG, Federal Continuum of Care Program, City resources including the general fund, and other housing grant funds and programs are all among the sources utilized by the City to accomplish the stated goals of the Consolidated Plan.

Narrative Assessment of Strategic Plan Goals and Objectives:

An assessment of the City’s effort to address its community development needs and objectives is

provided in the CAPER, with particular focus given to the areas of affordable housing, fair housing, and homeless services. One purpose of the CAPER is to allow jurisdictions the opportunity to self- evaluate the effectiveness of policies, programs, and activities utilized to achieve Consolidated Plan goals.

Discussion:

The following information provides an overview of CDBG-funded activities during FY 2023/24, prior year CDBG-funded activities, and related actions.

Fiscal Year 2023-24

1. City of Woodland ADA Accessibility Project – The project will be combined with the FY 2024- 25 project and constructed in 2025. While the project was bid out in 2024, the low bidder was unable to start and complete construction prior to the start of the 2024-25 school year and a number of the ramp locations are adjacent to a school. As a result, all the bids were rejected.

2. Public Services - 66% of the CDBG public service funds were used for food/shelter programs:

Meals on Wheels (meals for senior citizens), Yolo Wayfarer Center (emergency shelter), and Yolo Food Bank (food). Other public service activities included Legal Services of Northern California (fair housing) and Northern California Children’s Therapy Center (therapy for young children).

Fiscal Year 2022-23

1. City of Woodland ADA Accessibility Project – Construction was completed in September 2023 and resulted in the installation of fourteen ADA accessible sidewalk ramps with FY 2021-22 and 2022-23 funding allocations.

2. New Hope Community Development Corporation Cottonwood Meadows Phase S-3 – New Hope has nearly completed 90 percent plans for a major rehabilitation of Cottonwood and partnered with the City to apply for State HOME funds to construct the improvements. HOME funding will allow New Hope to address a number of systems that have reached the end of their useful lives. This covers siding for the entire complex (including any dry rot issues), replacing the roof and elevator, and replacing any HVAC units not replaced recently to improve the overall comfort and efficiency of Cottonwood for residents.

3. Yolo Community Care Continuum Haven House Interim Care Program – YCCC in 2024 completed a wheelchair ramp installation and other improvements to a program that provides interim care for homeless individuals discharged from the hospital.

Fiscal Year 2021-22

1. Friends of the Mission Affordable Housing Security Gates – FOM revised the scope of work because the construction bids exceeded the available CDBG funds and the work will be completed by December 2024.

There are a number of non-CDBG activities funded with City resources that were completed in FY 2023/24. These activities are included in the CAPER because they support the City’s CDBG action plan and consolidated plan (five-year planning period).

Youth Camperships for Summer Programs – Camperships were available for income-qualified families of youth participants of Swim Lessons, Summertime Fun Club, Summer Teen Pack, and

Lifeguard Training. Camperships are scholarships, resulting in a fee reduction for the program. The Woodland Kiwanis Club and the City partnered to fund Camperships for 156 youths participating in swim lessons. For the Summertime Fun Club and Teen Pack, 65 participants in the programs received Camperships.

Homeless Coordinator – In 2018, the City established a homeless coordinator position to address citywide needs for individuals and families that are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. The position is funded through the City's general fund and grant funds. The homeless coordinator engages homeless residents, provides referrals for services, and collaborates closely with social service agencies and Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) to coordinate services and housing options whenever possible. The individual in this position also holds weekly office hours at the emergency shelter, transports homeless individuals to local service providers for coordination of care when needed, and served as one of the two organizers for the 2024 point-in-time count of homeless individuals in Woodland.

Countywide Homeless Coordination Project – The City partnered with Yolo County/other cities to support the emergency shelter during winter and Yolo County Homeless Coordinator position.

Utility Assistance Program – A total of 520 low income households benefited from the utility assistance program funded through Measure R during the program year.

After School Teen Pack Program – Operated by the City, the program takes place at the Douglass and Lee Middle Schools during the school year, Monday-Thursday, immediately after school until 5 p.m. Designed for drop-in visits by students to participate any time after school, the program provides supervised activities. During the 2023/24 school year, Douglass’s Teen Pack received 1,098 student visits and Lee’s Teen Pack received nearly 932 student visits.

Permanent Supportive Housing Land Dedication - The City deeded a 2.923-acre parcel at no cost for the land to the nonprofit Friends of the Mission for the East Beamer Way 60-unit permanent supportive housing development. As part of the parcel conveyance, the City also approved parking and storm drainage easement deeds over adjacent City property for the benefit of the overall East Beamer Way Campus, which includes the PSH units, emergency shelter, and treatment facility (under construction).

Woodland Police Activities League – WPAL is a non-profit organization associated with the Woodland Police Department. WPAL is primarily funded through donations and did receive City general fund support during the program year. WPAL ran the Junior Giants baseball program during Summer 2023 with 361 children participating. Approximately 60 – 65 percent of the participants were from low-income households.

Timely Expenditure Requirements
HUD each year reviews the timely expenditure ratio (expenditure of CDBG funds) for CDBG grantees. A grantee cannot have a balance (ratio) in its line of credit that exceeds 1.5 times its annual entitlement grant and available program income (repaid CDBG loans). The City’s timeliness ratio was 1.16 when HUD reviewed it on May 2, 2024.

Public Outreach/Citizen Participation
Public outreach/citizen participation efforts for the CAPER included: (1) noticing tonight’s public hearing and a 15-day public comment period for the CAPER in the September 4, 2024 edition of the Woodland Daily Democrat in English and Spanish; (2) posting the CAPER and public hearing notice on the City’s website; (3) emailing a copy of the draft CAPER and public hearing notice to the email distribution list for the Yolo County Homeless and Poverty Action Coalition; (4) making paper copies

of the draft CAPER available at the public counters of the Community Development Department (300 First Street) and Community Services Department (2001 East Street); and (5) holding tonight’s public hearing. City staff will update the City Council at tonight’s meeting on any public comments received.

The public comment period for the CAPER began on September 4, 2024, and ends on September 19, 2024.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions: 1) Hold a public hearing to receive community input on the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023/24 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER); 2) Adopt Resolution No. , approving the FY 2023/24 CDBG CAPER in substantially the same form presented to the City Council and incorporating public comments received at the public hearing; and 3) Authorize the City Manager or designee to finalize and submit the CAPER to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development after the conclusion of the 15-day public comment period.

Therapy Center (therapy for young children) addressed the high priority area of health services.

The following CDBG construction activities addressed the Consolidated Plan high priority area of public facilities and improvements (general, including accessibility for physically disabled – ADA): City of Woodland (ADA Accessibility Project, funded in PY 2021 and 2022 with construction completed in Summer 2023), New Hope Community Development Corporation (Cottonwood Meadows Phase S-3), and Yolo Community Care Continuum (Haven House Interim Care Program).

Other activities that addressed the Consolidated Plan high priority area of emergency food and shelter.

The City participated with Yolo County and other cities in the Countywide Homeless Coordination Project to provide funding assistance for a countywide homeless coordinator and operation of Woodland’s emergency shelter (Yolo Wayfarer Center) during the winter.

In 2018, the City established a homeless coordinator position to address citywide needs for individuals and families that are homeless or at risk of homelessness. The position is funded through the City's general fund and a grant received by the City. The homeless coordinator who is a licensed mental health professional with more than 20 years of experience working in the mental health field engages homeless residents, provides referrals for services, and collaborates with social service agencies and Yolo County to coordinate services and housing options. The homeless coordinator holds weekly office hours at the emergency shelter, transports homeless individuals to local service providers when needed for coordination of care, and served as one of the two organizers for the 2024 point-in-time count of homeless individuals in Woodland.

Goals for the construction of new affordable units were not included in the action plan; however, there are a number of opportunities in the near term including the following: market rate rental project near the downtown area that will include low income units, multi-family site in the downtown, an affordable senior citizen project in the Spring Lake Specific Plan Area, an affordable project adjacent to Kentucky Avenue in the northwest section of the City, and a potential second phase of an affordable rental project that opened during the program year on West Main Street with 72 lower income units. The City during the program year approved a $900,000 loan for a project adjacent to Kentucky Avenue (Woodland Opportunity Village development). This project will result in the construction twelve low income units.

WOV has secured project based vouchers for all units and this will allow residents to pay only 30 percent of gross monthly income towards rent. Future action plans will reflect City efforts to support the development and construction of affordable housing.

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c)

Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending homelessness through:

Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs

The City provided funding assistance for the Yolo Wayfarer Center’s emergency shelter (CDBG and City contribution to Countywide Homeless Coordination Project.) The clients of the shelter received case management and were connected with services and housing whenever possible. HUD awarded the City a HUD Continuum of Care renewal grant (Reallocation project) in 2023 in the amount of $334,193 for permanent supportive housing to assist homeless families and individuals. The funds are being used to provide permanent supportive housing for homeless individuals and families at facilities operated by the Yolo Wayfarer Center.

In 2018, the City established a homeless coordinator position to address citywide needs for individuals and families that are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. The position is funded through the City's general fund and a grant received by the City. The homeless coordinator who is a licensed mental health professional with more than 20 years of experience working in the mental health field engages homeless residents, provides referrals for services, and collaborates closely with social service agencies and Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) to coordinate services and housing options whenever possible. The individual in this position also holds weekly office hours at the emergency shelter, transports homeless individuals to local service providers for coordination of care when needed, and served as one of the two organizers for the 2024 point-in-time count of homeless individuals in Woodland.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons

The City provided funding assistance for the Yolo Wayfarer Center’s emergency shelter (CDBG and City contribution to Countywide Homeless Coordination Project.) The clients of the shelter received case management and were connected with services and housing whenever possible. The City's Homeless Coordinator and Homeless Outreach Street Team worked with non-profit service providers and the Yolo County Health Human Services Agency to connect homeless families and individuals to services and shelter whenever possible.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs City CDBG funds were awarded to Legal Services of Northern California for fair housing services. LSNC’s work in some instances assists individuals and families remain in their rental units.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families

CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j)
Actions taken to address the needs of public housing

Yolo County Housing serves as the public housing authority for Yolo County and operates two public housing facilities in Woodland - Yolano Village (60 units) and Donnelly Circle (72 units). While the City's Program Year Action Plan did not include activities that directly address the needs of public housing, residents of Yolano and Donnelly may have benefitted from services funded through the CDBG program (Meals on Wheels, Northern California Children’s Therapy Center, and Yolo Food Bank) and City resources (Use of City Hall Annex for youth theatre/dance programs, Youth Camperships, and After School Teen Pack Program).

Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership

The City of Woodland does not have oversight or governance jurisdiction over the local public housing authority (Yolo County Housing or YCH). However, YCH has taken a number of actions to facilitate resident involvement. YCH is governed on a day-to-day basis by a seven-member housing commission, which includes two resident commissioners. In addition, YCH staff facilitates Yolo County Housing Quarterly Resident Meetings for the residents of the Yolano Village (60 units) and Donnelly Circle (72 units) which are public housing developments located in Woodland. YCH provides opportunities for public housing residents to apply their housing choice voucher assistance to a home mortgage (monthly mortgage payments). The City operates a first time homebuyer loan assistance program for low income households and maintains an interest list for the program. When loan funding is available, the City contacts families on the interest list and invites them to participate in the City's program. Public housing residents are welcome to participate in the City's homebuyer loan assistance program.

Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs

Not applicable, the local public housing authority (Yolo County Housing) is not designated as troubled.

The City completed a Comprehensive Zoning Code (CZC) update in June 2024. The CZC includes an updated development review process to assist residents, development partners, staff and decision makers to allow qualified development proposals expedited review, thereby helping reduce the front- end design/development costs particularly for new housing projects. Other highlights of CZC including increasing the density of the Duplex Residential Zone from 1-8 to 5-15 dwelling units/acre and permitting residential units in the Community Commercial Zone at a range of 15-35 du/acre.

Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)

During the program year, the City approved a $900,000 loan to assist Woodland Opportunity Village with the construction of a twelve-unit housing development for low income households. WOV has secured project based vouchers for all units and this will permit residents to pay only 30 percent of gross monthly income towards rent. Vista del Robles, a 72-unit development for low and very low income households, opened during the program year after receiving City loan assistance in the previous program year. The City deeded over a 2.923-acre parcel at no cost for the land to nonprofit Friends of the Mission for the East Beamer Way 60-unit permanent supportive housing development. As part of the conveyance of the parcel, the City also approved parking and storm drainage easement deeds over adjacent City property for the benefit of the overall East Beamer Way Campus which include the PSH units, emergency shelter, and treatment facility (under construction).

low income households. During the program year, the City approved a $900,000 loan to assist Woodland Opportunity Village with the construction of a twelve-unit housing development for low income households. WOV has secured project based vouchers for all units and this will permit residents to pay only 30 percent of gross monthly income towards rent.

As part of the conveyance of the parcel, the City also approved parking and storm drainage easement deeds over adjacent City property for the benefit of the overall East Beamer Way Campus which include the PSH units, emergency shelter, and treatment facility (under construction).

Affordable housing monitoring is conducted at projects that received City loan assistance to ensure the tenants are charged the correct rents and for owner-occupied affordable units to confirm they continue to be owner-occupied. Onsite monitoring is also conducted at three HOME projects which includes a review of overall site conditions and inspecting a sample of units to verify the satisfaction of housing conditions requirements. Approximately 460 units (rental and owner-occupied units) were monitoring during the program year.

The City aided a number of services providers that assist lower income households including the Yolo Wayfarer Center (emergency shelter), Meals on Wheels (meals for senior citizens), Yolo Food Bank (food) Legal Services of Northern California (fair housing services), and the Northern California Children’s Therapy Center (therapy for young children).

Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)

The City participated with Yolo County and the cities in the county on the Countywide Homeless Coordination Project during the program year. This program provides funding assistance for a countywide homeless coordinator and the operation of a cold weather shelter (Yolo Wayfarer Center) in Woodland during the winter months. In addition, a City staff member represents the City at meetings of the local continuum of care, Yolo County Homeless and Poverty Action Coalition (HPAC) and City staff participated in approximately 15 HPAC meetings during the program year.

Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)

The Yolo County Homeless and Poverty Action (HPAC) serves as the continuum of care for Yolo County. A City staff member represents the City on HPAC’s board of directors. HPAC has a number of responsibilities including the coordination of services and housing resources for the homeless and overseeing the local selection process for the annual Continuum of Care funding competition. City staff participated in approximately 15 HPAC meetings during the program year.

Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a)

A majority of the city is considered low resource according to the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC). Generally, the low resource areas are south of Kentucky Avenue, north of Gibson

CAPER 17
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Road, and west of Bourn Drive. TCAC and the California Department of Housing and Community Development and HCD define these as areas where there are fewer opportunities to access jobs, education, and lower home values in addition to other economic, environmental, and educational indicators. The City’s Housing Element which was adopted in 2023 includes a policy to invest in historically underserved areas in order to transform low resource areas into areas of opportunity. For a number of years, the City has made and continues to make significant infrastructure investments in low resource areas to address water, sewer, road, and parks infrastructure. For example, the majority of the ADA accessible ramps installed for the City’s ADA Accessibility Project during the program year (PY 2021 and 2022 funding) occurred in low resource areas. While the City does not have the ability to address all the factors contributing to a low resource area, it has been able to make considerable infrastructure investments in low resource areas.

The City completed a Comprehensive Zoning Code (CZC) update in June 2024. The CZC includes an updated development review process to assist residents, development partners, staff and decision makers to allow qualified development proposals expedited review, thereby helping reduce the front- end design/development costs particularly for new housing projects. Other highlights of CZC including increasing the density of the Duplex Residential Zone from 1-8 to 5-15 dwelling units/acre and permitting residential units in the Community Commercial Zone at a range of 15-35 du/acre. It is anticipated that the CZC will help facilitate additional investments in Woodland including housing for a variety of income ranges.

The City requires subrecipients to submit quarterly and annual reports on the progress and results of their activities. Subrecipients provided written narratives on the progress/results of their activities as well as ethnicity and income data on the beneficiaries of the CDBG-funded activities. Onsite subrecipient monitoring did not occur during the program year. City staff was responsible for monitoring construction activities during the program year for contract, labor (Davis-Bacon and Related Acts), and other Federal overlay compliance. This included running debarment checks through the System for Award Management, reviewing draft construction contracts to verify inclusion of Federal overlay language, assisting subrecipients with the preparation bid notices (notice to contractors), conducting field wage interviews, and reviewing certified payrolls.

While the City of Woodland ADA Accessibility Project (with Program Year 2023 CDBG funding) will not be constructed until 2025, the initial bidding process which occurred during this program year resulted in the project plans and specifications being made available to the following bid houses and other sources of construction bid opportunity information.

Background:

The State of California's 2019-2020 Budget Act and Government Code section 65589.9 provided for the establishment of the Prohousing Designation Program. This Program created incentives for jurisdictions that are compliant with state housing element requirements and that have enacted policies to facilitate housing production.

Discussion:

Jurisdictions that are determined to be "Prohousing" will receive additional points or other preference during the scoring of competitive applications for specified housing and infrastructure funding from the State of California. Since adoption of Woodland's new Comprehensive Zoning Code, staff members believe that the City will be a competitive applicant and has identified this opportunity to better position Woodland for future funding and programming. The application does not require an ordinance or policy change; rather, it requires City staff to articulate many of the "prohousing" policies that Woodland has already adopted.

On July 16, 2024, City Council approved Resolution No. 8363 authorizing staff to proceed with the Prohousing Designation Program application. The program requires that the City's application undergo a public participation process through a public hearing and other engagement methods. The Public Hearing notice was published in the Daily Democrat on September 7, 2024. The draft application document will be available for public review both online and in-person for at least 30 days as required by the program guidelines. Staff will incorporate any comments received during the public hearing and public review process into the final application.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council hold a public hearing to receive testimony regarding the City of Woodland's intention to apply to the California Department of Housing and Community Development's Prohousing Designation Program.

1I Modified development
standards by using
objective design
standards (modified
floor area ratio,
setbacks, and lot
coverage) to promote
greater development
density and clarity. New
(as of June 2024)
Small Lot Subdivision
guidelines allow waiver
of minimum lot size and
width, as well as
increased setback
flexibility to encourage
a variety of single and
multi-family product
types and
configurations in all
residential zones,
including low density
zones. Further, as part
of the city’s recent
zoning code update
(adopted June 2024),
the maximum density in
the Residential Low-
Medium zone (formerly
R-2 duplex zone) was
increased from 8 to 15
dwelling units per acre
and multi family product
types are now
permitted.

processes established
for multiple housing
types, including, for
example, single-family,
multifamily, and mixed-
use. Following the city’s
2035 General Plan
update in May 2017,
the city updated its
zoning code to permit
multifamily and
residential mixed-use
development by-right
(ministerial approval) in
four commercial
corridor mixed-use
zones. More recently in
June 2024, the city
adopted a
comprehensive zoning
code update which
allows for by-right,
ministerial approval of
single family, duplex,
and/or multifamily
development in several
zones including low,
medium and high
density residential
zones and in nearly all
commercial zones.

affordable housing
development that
opened earlier this
year, was given by-right

Appendix 4: Examples of Prohousing Policies with Enhancement Factors

If a Prohousing Policy incorporates any of the enhancement factors specified in the Project Proposal Enhancement Factors chart, it will receive extra points as indicated therein.

Examples of such qualifying Prohousing Policies include the following:

Category 1: Favorable Zoning and Land Use

• Rezoning sufficient sites to accommodate 150 percent or greater of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation by total or income category, including sites in Location Efficient Communities.
• Rezoning sufficient sites to accommodate 150 percent or greater of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation by total or income category, including sites in High Resource and Highest Resource areas (as designated in the most recently updated TCAC/HCD Opportunity Maps).
• Rezoning to accommodate 125 to 149 percent of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation in downtown commercial corridors or other infill locations. • Expanding density bonus programs to exceed statutory requirements by 10 percent or more in Location Efficient Communities.
• Reducing or eliminating parking requirements for residential development as authorized by Government Code section 65852.2 in Location Efficient Communities. • Increasing allowable density in low-density, single-family residential areas beyond the requirements of state Accessory Dwelling Unit Law in High Resource and Highest Resource areas (as designated in the most recently updated TCAC/HCD Opportunity Maps).
• Modification of development standards and other applicable zoning provisions to promote greater development intensity in downtown commercial corridors or other infill locations.
• Coupling rezoning actions with policies that go beyond state law requirements in reducing displacement of lower-income households and conserving existing housing stock that is affordable to lower-income households.

Category 2: Acceleration of Housing Production Timeframes

• Ministerial approval processes for multifamily housing in High Resource and Highest Resource areas (as designated in the most recently updated TCAC/HCD Opportunity Maps).
• Streamlined, program-level CEQA analysis and certification of specific plans in Location Efficient Communities.
• Documented practice of streamlining housing development at the project level in downtown commercial corridors and other infill locations. • Expedited permit processing for housing affordable to lower-income households in High Resource and Highest Resource areas (as designated in the most recently updated TCAC/HCD Opportunity Maps).

Category 3: Reduction of Construction and Development Costs

• Fee waivers for affordable housing in High Resource and Highest Resource areas (as designated in the most recently updated TCAC/HCD Opportunity Maps).

• Fee waivers or reductions for higher density housing in downtown commercial corridors or other infill locations.
• Measures that reduce costs and leverage financial resources for transportation-related infrastructure or programs in Low Resource and High Segregation & Poverty areas (as designated in the most recently updated TCAC/HCD Opportunity Maps). • Adoption of universal design ordinances to increase housing choices and affordability for persons with disabilities in High Resource and Highest Resource areas (as designated in the most recently updated TCAC/HCD Opportunity Maps). • Permitting innovative housing types, such as manufactured homes, recreational vehicles or park models, in High Resource and Highest Resource areas (as designated in the most recently updated TCAC/HCD Opportunity Maps).

Category 4: Providing Financial Subsidies

• Targeting local housing trust funds to acquisition or rehabilitation of existing affordable units, or to affordable units at risk of converting to market rate uses, in Low Resource and High Segregation & Poverty areas (as designated in the most recently updated TCAC/HCD Opportunity Maps).
• Marketing grants and other financial products for ADUs/JADUs in High Resource and Highest Resource areas (as designated in the most recently updated TCAC/HCD Opportunity Maps).
• Utilizing publicly owned land for affordable housing in High Resource and Highest Resource areas (as designated in the most recently updated TCAC/HCD Opportunity Maps).
• Establishment of an Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District or similar local financing tool in a Low Resource or High Segregation & Poverty area (as designated in the most recently updated TCAC/HCD Opportunity Maps). • Directing residual redevelopment funds or general funds to conservation or preservation of affordable housing in areas at high risk of displacement.

Appendix 5: Additional Information and Supporting Documentation

1 PUBLIC FACILITIES FEE PROGRAM

ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDELINES
REVISION DATED APRIL 2022
I. Introduction
These Public Facilities Fee Program Administrative Guidelines (“Guidelines”) replace in their entirety the Public Facilities Fee Program Administrative Guidelines dated July 2019. These Guidelines primarily apply to the Major Projects Financing Plan (“MPFP”) development impact fees adopted by the City Council of the City of Woodland on April 16, 2019, by Resolution No.7256 pursuant to the authority in Section 15.04.030 of the City of Woodland Municipal Code, which authorizes the imposition of Capital Improvement Facilities Fees on development. These Guidelines also address implementation of the water capacity fee adopted by the City Council on April 16, 2019, by Resolution 7258.

When applicable, these Guidelines also apply to the implementation and administration of all other code sections that impose fees on new development.

Should a situation arise that is not covered by these Guidelines, the City Manager or the City Manager’s designee shall be authorized to make a written decision as to how the fees at issue are to be administered provided that the fees imposed do not change the amount approved by the City Council.

Any applicant dissatisfied with the decision of the City Manager may appeal such decision to the City Council by filing written notice thereof with the City Manager within ten (10) days of receipt of the City Manager’s decision.

II. Definitions
For purposes of these Guidelines and the MPFP fee schedule, certain terms and words are herewith defined as follows:
“Development Fees” shall consist of the following:

General City Facilities Fee
Fire Facilities Fee
Library Facilities Fee
Park and Recreation Facilities Fee
Police Facilities Fee
Wastewater Facilities Fee
Storm Drainage Facilities Fee
Road Improvements Fee
Administration Fee

2 “Capacity Fees” shall consist of the water capacity fee adopted by the City Council on April 16, 2019 by Resolution No. 7258.
“Existing Development” means a building(s) that has been in existence prior to any current request for a building permit or connection to City utilities. “E-commerce” refers to commercial transactions that are conducted through the internet.
“Floor Area Ratio” The square footage of a building on site divided by the size of the lot.
“Improvements to Existing Development” shall consist of additional square footage to any existing building, any new building(s) on a previously developed property, or the connection to City utilities of a previously developed property. “Non-Residential” means any retail, service, office, or industrial uses. “Land Use” is used as an indicator of service needs and hence as a basis for all non-residential development fees. A land use table is attached. The City Manager or the City Manager’s designee shall interpret the appropriate zone for any land use not specifically listed in the table.
“New Development” means vacant parcels of land that are proposed to be improved with buildings, parking lots, outdoor storage areas, or landscaping. “Infill Development” is depicted in the attached map. Any development within Spring Lake or within any specific plan approved after June 18, 2019 is not considered infill development.
“Greenfield Development” is any residential land use outside of the infill area, as depicted in the Infill Development map.
“Corridor” as used in the MPFP nexus study refers to areas along the following corridor streets for the purposes of calculating impact fees:
Main Street from Cleveland to CR 98

III. Fee Applicability
A. New Construction

1. Residential
a. Single Family Dwelling Units (SFD) –
(1) First Structure on a Lot (8 units per acre or less). Units shall be subject to development fees on a per dwelling
unit basis at the single family rate. The first structure on a single family lot shall be charged the single family rate regardless of size.
(2) Multiple Units on One Lot (8 units per acre or less). The City recognizes that smaller dwelling units have fewer
impacts than larger dwelling units and that multiple

4 smaller units on one lot will generally have fewer
impacts than the same number of larger dwelling units.

For any lot that has not previously been developed, any new construction creating two to three units will be
charged impact fees based on square footage of dwelling space (but excluding garage square footage) as follows:
oFor units 1,201 square feet and larger, the City
will charge the Single Family rate.
oFor units 701 square feet to 1,200 square feet, the
City shall charge the Multi-Family rate.
oFor units 700 square feet and less, the City shall
charge 80% of the small Multi-Family rate for
the first unit and the small Multi-Family rate for
any additional units smaller than 700 square feet.
(3) Accessory dwelling units (maximum 1,200 square feet per City Code 17.104.010).
oNo impact fee is required for an ADU or JADU
that is less than 750 square feet in size.
o Any impact fee that is required for an ADU that
is 750 square feet or larger in size must be
charged proportionately in relation to the square
footage of the primary dwelling unit. (E.g., floor
area of the ADU divided by the floor area of the
primary dwelling, times the typical fee amount
charged for a new dwelling.) Pursuant to Section

17.104.010 B.4 of the City’s Municipal Code,
accessory dwelling units shall not be considered
new residential for the purposes of calculating
local agency connection fees or capacity charges
for water and sewer service. Water and sewer
impact and capacity fees for ADU’s may be
charged in conformance with California
Government Code Section 65852.2 under certain
circumstances. Only one ADU is allowed per lot.

Any additional residential unit on the same lot
shall not be considered an ADU and shall pay
utility impact fees and capacity charges.
(4) Residential Accessory Buildings that do not meet the criteria of an ADU (such as a shed or workshop), as set forth in Section 17.104.010 of the City of Woodland
Municipal Code, and are 700 square feet or less will not be charged impact fees.
b. Multi-Family Dwelling Units –

5 (1) Development Impact Fees. Projects with more than 8 units per acre shall be subject to development fees on a per dwelling unit basis at the multi-family rate. Multi- family dwelling units that are larger than 1,500 square feet have a similar impact as a single family residence and, therefore, shall pay the Single Family rate.
(2) Water Capacity Fee.
i. Multi-Family Dwelling Units shall be charged
the water capacity fee per new meter based on
meter size. If a development has multiple
meters it will be charged the water capacity fee
for each meter (e.g. if there is a 1” Landscape
service meter and a 2” domestic meter for each
building in the complex, the total water capacity
fee will be for one 1” meter fee plus one 2”
meter fee for each building in the complex).
ii. For individually metered Multi-Family
Dwelling Units less than 1200 square feet but
equal to or larger than 700 square feet, the water
rate shall be 75% of the 1” meter rate.
iii. For individually metered Small Multi-Family
Units less than 700 square feet, the water rate
shall be 50% of the 1” meter rate.

2. Non-Residential
a. Development Impact Fees. Retail, service, office, and industrial uses will be subject to development fees on a square footage basis using the land use categories found on the attached land use table. b. Water Capacity Fees. Water capacity fees shall be charged per each new additional meter. If a development has multiple meters it will be charged the water capacity fee for each meter (e.g. if there is a 1” Landscape service meter and a 2” domestic meter, the fee will be for one 1” meter fee plus one 2” meter fee).
c. Storage Areas. When a non-residential property has storage or sales areas that are not under a defined building, the area will be subject to fees on a square footage basis for the applicable land use type.

B. Improvements to Existing Development

1. Residential –

6 Development Impact Fees. Improvements or additions to existing dwelling units that do not create an additional dwelling unit are not subject to payment of impact fees.

Water Capacity Fee. When a parcel map is used to separate individual houses that were previously all or both on one lot, or to create a split lot duplex from a duplex, a new meter and service may be required. However, the existing site shall be credited with one existing service. If a separate meter is added for a duplex (without a parcel map), then a water capacity fee must be paid for the new meter.

2. Non-residential –
Development Impact Fees. Additions to existing buildings or new buildings on partially developed properties will be subject to development impact fees, on a per square foot basis for the applicable land use type, based on the additional square footage.

Water Capacity Fee. Expansion of commercial or office facilities that do not require a new service or meter will not be charged a Water Capacity Fee. Expansion of a facility that replaces an existing meter with a larger meter shall be charged the differential between the larger meter fee amount less a credit for the current cost of the existing service.

C. Auto Dealerships
Any auto dealership, with the exception of dealerships that primarily operate as an e-commerce business, shall pay 50% of the applicable development impact fees for General City, Fire, Police and Roads to account for the reduced impacts comparative to other industrial users that generally operate multiple shifts over a 24-hour period. This fee is only applicable for auto dealerships that develop within the City limits from and after June 2019.

D. Light Industrial Flex Overlay Zone
Any use that meets the industrial classification and expansion size limits, and is located within the Light Industrial Flex Overlay district bounded by East Street, I-5 and E Main Street, shall pay 50% of the applicable development impact fees for General City, Fire, Police, and Roads to account for the reduced impacts from these facilities due to the more limited operation these uses will have compared to those allowed within the Industrial Zone. In order to meet this fee category, the development

7 must consist of a new building that is less than 25,001 square feet or an expansion that is less than 25,001 square feet.

E. Outdoor Storage, Canopied Areas, Pole Barns
When a non-residential property has storage or sales areas that are not under a defined building, and the enclosure or cover requires a building permit, the area will be subject to fees on a square footage basis for the applicable land use type.

F. Utility Connections
When a property owner only requests connection to City utilities, development impact fees will be due for the affected services only. City water (for domestic use, fire protection, or irrigation, or any combination) or sewer will not be provided individually if both are readily available to a property. A request for either water or sewer service will require a connection to both water and sewer and payment of the development fee for each. The property owner will be charged only the meter installation fee if the water connection is for landscaping only, there is no building, and there is no septic or waste facility servicing the property.

G. Change in Use
When a business license is requested for a new business that is going to occupy an existing building, the City shall evaluate the proposed new land use. If the proposed use will be more intense than the prior use, the City shall calculate the fee to be paid based on, as applicable, trip generation, storm water impact, dwelling unit equivalent (DUE) water usage, and sewer impact.

H. Structure Exempt From Building Permits
Fees will be imposed to the extent permitted by law on any development that does not require a building permit from the City of Woodland (refer to Government Code 54999 regarding public entities). Such development will often be required to apply to the City for a permit other than a building permit, for example, when requests are made for a use permit, encroachment, water or sewer connection permit. Any such permit shall be conditioned to include development fees on a per square foot basis at a rate appropriate for the proposed use.

IV. Exemptions from Payment of Fees.

8 A. Interior alterations that do not increase the gross square footage of a building and do not result in a more intense land use will not be subject to development fees.

B. Water services that serve fire flow shall not be charged a water capacity fee. Usually fire flow is served through a separate unmetered service. If fire flow is served through a metered service; the applicant may request a reduction in fees by submitting calculations prepared by a licensed professional engineer, or fire suppression engineer, or other licensed individual approved by the Community Development Director. The Community Development Director may then approve a reduction in fees.

C. Buildings that are constructed, owned and maintained by the City of Woodland will not be subject to development impact fees.

V. Credits
Any applicant requesting a credit shall submit a written request to the Community Development Department. Credits may be applied for demolition of existing or previous structures. The amount of credit will be calculated using the then current fees (as if a building permit for the prior building were pulled simultaneously with the permit for the new building). Credit shall not exceed fees due by both fee category and net overall. The amount of credits will be determined by the City Engineer.

A. Structures that were both located within the City limits and demolished prior to August 15, 1991 (the date of approval of the original MPFP program) will receive a credit of 50% of the impact fees for all categories except roads. No credit will be allowed for the roads category. The applicant will need to provide adequate documentation regarding the size and use of the structure in order to receive the credit.

B. Any structure demolished after August 14, 1991 but more than eight years from the date of building permit issuance will receive a full credit of all fees except the roads category. There will be no credit allowed for the roads category. The applicant will need to provide adequate documentation regarding the size and use of the demolished structure in order to receive the credit.

C. Structures that have been demolished within the eight years from building permit issuance will receive full credit for all impact fees, including the road fee. The applicant will need to provide adequate documentation regarding the size and use of the demolished structure in order to receive the credit.

9 VI. Adjustments
A. The development fees have been established using certain averages for water use, sanitary sewer flow, storm water runoff, and trip generation.

Any proposed non-residential project that exceeds these averages will be subject to a case by case analysis by the City Engineer and may be required to pay additional fees if they exceed the averages in this section, which in some cases may be higher than the averages used to establish the development impact fees. The averages that each project will be compared with are as follows:

1. Water - domestic and irrigation
a. Retail > 317 gal/1000 sq. ft./day
b. Service > 346 gal/1000 sq. ft./day
c. Office > 244 gal/1000 sq. ft./day
d. Industrial > 317 gal./1000 sq. ft./day

2. Sanitary Sewer: Note that for excessive BOD or TSS it is typically more economical for businesses to pretreat the waste water prior to discharge into the City system. Likewise there is a quantitative limit to how much waste water the City system can take.

Excessive flows would require either expansion of the City treatment capability or pre-treatment. The timing of expansions of the Wastewater Treatment Plant is planned to accommodate normal build out of the City. Because expansions can take 4-5 years to plan and construct, abnormal demands on the system may not be able to be accommodated without significant lead time.

Fees for development with abnormal flows are based on equivalent dwelling unit cost calculations by the City Engineer and approved by the Community Development director.
a. Retail > 110.2 gal/1000 sq. ft./day
b. Service > 137.7 gal/1000 sq. ft./day
c. Office > 91.8 gal/1000 sq. ft./day
d. Industrial > 103.3 gal./1000 sq. ft./day
e. BOD > 235 ppm or mg/L

3. Storm Drainage
Non-Residential Building size < 25% or > 45% of property.

4. Roads. For land uses that generate more than 10 peak hour trips/1,000 square feet, a special calculation will be required to determine their road impact fee. Examples of land uses that generate more than 10 peak hour trips/1,000 square feet are as follows: gas station, fast food, car wash, convenience market,

10 projects including a drive through. This is not a comprehensive list.

No credits or reduction of fees are allowed for projects falling below these averages.

B. Fee Deferral for Development
Should a developer wish to request a fee deferral, the request shall be in writing and in conformance with the City’s adopted fee deferral program.

C. Development Fee Waiver
In no event shall any development fees be waived unless the City is able to determine and secure an alternative source of funding to replace the fees.

VII. Fee Calculation
Upon receipt of an application for a building permit, the Community Development Department (CDD) shall determine the number of single family dwelling units, multi-family dwelling units, or the square footage and proposed use in the case of commercial/industrial projects, and will then add this information to the application.

A. Community Development will determine if any development fees have been previously paid.

B. Any fee categories that were previously paid on an acreage basis, and included in the land of the currently proposed project, shall be considered paid in full. Fee categories that were established after the prior payment will be charged at the time of the building permit application.

C.Community Development will next determine if the project qualifies for any credits or adjustments and will indicate such on the form. When a single industrial building is divided for the purpose of leasing to separate users, the development fees will be calculated based on the separate uses. For example, if a 40,000 sq. ft. building in an industrial area is divided into two 20,000 sq. ft. spaces, with one side occupied by a small warehouse type operation and the other strictly for office use, the development impact fees will be calculated for 20,000 square feet of industrial use and 20,000 square feet of office use.

D. No differentiation will be made for mixed uses of a single user, such as the internal office area of an industrial building. The development impact fee will be calculated based on the primary use of the building.

11 E. Storm drain impact fees will be calculated on a per acre basis, to allow for collection at time of building permit. The fees collected will be based on a storm water shed zone (See Map in Appendix B) specific acreage basis:

1. New Residential: Calculated at Final Map as the fee/acre multiplied by the number of acres divided by the total number of units and collected on an average cost per lot basis per the Map. When the project consists of multiple units grouped in building clusters, and only one building permit per cluster is needed (e.g. apartment complex), the multi-family residential storm water fee is due in its entirety at the pulling of the first building permit.

2. Infill Residential: Calculated as either the lot size divided by infill acreage or lot size divided by the number of units divided by infill acreage.

3. Commercial: Collected on the size of the lot unless the lot is not being fully developed. Fully developed means that all portions of the lot are developed as within the building footprint, hardscape or landscape, or the developed property is at the maximum floor area ratio FAR). For prior development infill or additions, the fee is calculated as the square footage of the building footprint divided by the floor area ratio of 0.4 divided by 43,560 sf. (building footprint s.f./0.4)/43,560 sf/acre F. The fee calculations are performed by Community Development staff and then approved by a senior engineer or designee. Discretionary interpretations/credits/and deferrals are approved by the Development Services Senior Engineer or City Engineer. Applicants may appeal to the Community Development Director.

G. Community Development will complete its final computation of the total development fees due. The form will be attached to the building permit, and the development fees due are included in the cost of the building permit unless otherwise deferred consistent with the City’s fee deferral ordinance.

The applicant shall then pay all Development Fees in effect at the time of building permit issuance.

VIII. Developer In-Lieu Improvements
Whenever a developer is required as a condition of approval of a development project, or permitted in the City’s discretion, to construct a public facility described in the MPFP, the City and developer shall execute a reimbursement or credit agreement. Credits will be capped at the amount that is in the fee program plus CCI since the last update.

The timing and method of payment (credit or reimbursement) will be negotiated and included as part of the reimbursement agreement and approved by the City Council prior to construction of the improvements. If the improvements are to be

12 financed by an assessment district (including Mello-Roos), credits may be given to the individual property owner and/or reimbursement shall be made to the district. The proposed spread of credits/reimbursement must also be approved by the City Council prior to construction of the improvements. Reimbursement shall be limited to costs specified in the fee program plus CCI since the last update.

In order to receive any reimbursement or credit for constructing a project identified in the MPFP, the developer must submit evidence that this work was secured through a competitive bidding process and certify that prevailed wages were paid appropriately.

If the developer has pulled building permits and paid public facility fees prior to the credits/reimbursement agreement being approved by the City Council, the developer will only receive credits/reimbursements on future permits. No refunds will be processed for the fees paid prior to the credit agreement being approved by the City Council.

A credit may only be taken by the developer to offset the development fee in the category that would normally pay for the constructed improvement. In other words, a street improvement cost will only be subject to credit against the road improvement fee.

IX. Methods of Financing
Fees payable pursuant to Section 15.040.030(C.) of the Woodland Municipal Code may, in the discretion of the City, be financed through the formation of a special benefit assessment district, a Mello-Roos Community Facilities District, or analogous financing mechanism. In the event such debt financing is authorized by the City, the City shall apply an in-lieu credit against the fee which otherwise would be charged. In the event a financing mechanism is approved to finance public facilities listed in the MPFP, the City may agree to reimburse the developer to the extent the developer has paid special taxes or assessments for such oversized public improvements or has otherwise provided advance funding for such public improvements and has not otherwise been reimbursed.

X. Annual Adjustment of Fees
The amount of development impact fees approved in the Resolution setting or increasing such fees shall be increased annually, on January 1 of each year, in the amount of the percentage increase in the Engineering News Record construction cost index, or any successor index that may be selected by the City Council. Fees may also be adjusted at other times during the year in conjunction with adoption of an updated Major Projects Financing Plan. Fees charged shall be based on the fees in effect at the time they are paid.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: September 17, 2024
ITEM #: J.14
SUBJECT: W. Main and Ashley - Purchase and Sale Agreement

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends the City Council approve Resolution No. (1) Approving an appropriation of $2,300,000 from the Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fees Fund (1327) and authorizing the Administrative Services Director to amend the Fiscal Year 2025 budget as necessary; and (2) Authorizing the City Manager to execute a Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) with YKI Investments for the purchase of approximately 2.6 acres of vacant property at the northwest corner of W. Main Street and Ashley Avenue (APN 064-170-053-000).

Staff Contact:

Ken Hiatt, City Manager, (530) 661-5930, [email protected]

Fiscal Impact:

No General Fund impact. The entirety of the purchase price will be funded through the City’s Affordable Housing Fund. These funds are generated primarily through affordable housing in-lieu fees paid by new housing developments and are restricted for use in creating or preserving affordable housing within Woodland. The Affordable Housing Fund has a current uncommitted fund balance of $4,462,647. If the purchase is approved the fund would have a remaining uncommitted balance of $2,262,647 with additional revenues anticipated in the coming several years as housing projects in the southeast area built out.

Background:

The subject property is approximately 2.6 acres of vacant land at the northwest corner of W. Main Street and Ashley Avenue (APN 064-170-053-000). The property is a remnant portion of a larger parcel that was recently subdivided to allow for the development of the first phase of two phases of affordable rental housing on the site. Vista Del Robles was completed earlier this year and is a 72- unit affordable housing apartment project developed and owned by Chelsea Investment Corporation. The 2.6 acre remaining vacant property was retained by YKI Investments but under a purchase option by Chelsea in anticipation of building a second phase consisting of up to 96 additional affordable units. Due to concerns with the limited affordable housing funding available from the State over the coming years, Chelsea decided not to proceed with the purchase of the property.

YKI Investments put the property back on the market this spring. Over the past several months, staff has been in negotiations with the sellers to reach agreement on a potential purchase of the property by the City. The City’s interest in acquiring the site would be to preserve the property for future housing. The property is one of the best infill housing opportunity sites available due to its proximity to services and transit. Additionally, the site is necessary to meet the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) requirements and is listed as an approved and entitled housing site within the City’s current Housing Element that has been certified by the State of California office of Housing and Community Development.

If acquired by the City, the City would then issue a request for proposals for housing developers interested in ultimately acquiring the property from the City and developing new affordable housing. This approach would allow the City to select a preferred housing development partner to

deliver the specific type and target affordability level of housing on the site.

Discussion:

Purchase and Sale Agreement
The attached Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) outlines the terms and conditions for the City’s acquisition of the property that have been negotiated with the sellers. The following is a summary of the key terms of the PSA recommended for approval. A full copy of the Agreement is attached to this report as Attachment 2.

Summary of Terms
• City agrees to purchase the site in as-is condition for $2,300,000 • City shall provide initial deposit of $20,000 into Escrow withing 10 business days after effective date followed by an additional $20,000 deposit within 3 days after the expiration of the due diligence period
• City shall have a 30-day due diligence period to conduct its investigation and inspection of the physical condition and documents associated with the property • Unless otherwise agreed to, escrow closing date shall be 30 days after expiration of the due diligence period

Conclusion:

Staff recommends the City Council approve Resolution No. (1) Approving an appropriation of $2,300,000 from the Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fees Fund (1327) and authorizing the Administrative Services Director to amend the Fiscal Year 2025 budget as necessary; and (2) Authorizing the City Manager to execute a Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) with YKI Investments for the purchase of approximately 2.6 acres of vacant property at the northwest corner of W. Main Street and Ashley Avenue (APN 064-170-053-000).
