VMT/Capita1 VMT/Capita1 Percent Change2

20.82 15.95 -23.4%
Note:
1 VMT/Capita represents Average Residential VMT per capita. 2 Percent change represents percent change from regional average.

CONCLUSION
The proposed Project is anticipated to generate a total of 374 daily primary trips, 28 AM peak hour primary trips (7 inbound, 21 outbound), and 36 PM peak hour primary trips (23 inbound, 13 outbound) under typical weekday traffic demand conditions.

Intersection LOS at all study intersections was projected to be acceptable (LOS “D” or better) under all study scenarios. Under Existing Plus Project conditions, the roadway segment of Elmer Avenue north of Butte House Road is projected to operate at an acceptable LOS and is not expected to exceed capacity. All 95th percentile queues are expected to be accommodated by the existing available storage. The intersection of Elmer Avenue with Butte House Road does not meet the peak hour signal warrant in the AM or PM peak hours. The intersection of Blevin Road with Butte House Road does not meet the peak hour signal warrant in the AM peak hour but does meet the signal warrant in the PM peak hour. However, it is not recommended to install a traffic signal at the intersection of Blevin Road with Butte House Road because it does not meet the signal warrant during both weekday peak hours, the intersection operates at acceptable LOS, and the intersection does not experience excessive queuing.

Thiara Estates Traffic Operations Memorandum 12 of 12
The Elmer Avenue & Butte House Road intersection and the segment of Elmer Avenue north of Butte House Road were analyzed under future year (2035) Cumulative and Cumulative Plus Project conditions in order to quantify future operations on Elmer Road with construction of the planned Tuly Parkway extension and the proposed Project.

The intersection of Elmer Avenue & Butte House Road and the segment of Elmer Avenue north Butte House Road of were projected to operate at acceptable LOS.

The addition of Project traffic is not anticipated to adversely affect the segment of Tuly Parkway/Bradley Estate Drive west of Blevin Road.

Based upon a review of the Project site, Project access, site internal circulation, and emergency access are considered adequate. It is recommended to maintain any vegetation in the vicinity of the Project roadway connections on Elmer Avenue and Tuly Parkway to preserve adequate sight distance.

The Yuba-Sutter Transit Route has bus stops located approximately one-mile from the Project site. The Project is not anticipated to affect existing transit facilities. The Project would provide adequate connectivity to existing bicycle and pedestrian facilities.

The SACOG screening map indicated that the HEX location associated with the Project achieves at least a 15- percent reduction in VMT per capita comparing to regional average. Thus, the Project impacts on VMT are considered less than significant and no mitigation measures are recommended.

Paleontological Mitigation Measure 1: This Mitigation Measure shall be placed as a note on the Demolition and Grading Plans. If paleontological resources are found, the construction manager shall halt all activity and immediately contact the Development Services Department at 530-822-4700.

Mitigation shall be conducted as follows:

1. Identify and evaluate paleontological resources by intense field survey where impacts are considered high;

2. Assess effects on identified sites;

3. Consult with the institutional/academic paleontologists conducting research investigations within the geological formations that are slated to be impacted;

4. Obtain comments from the researchers;

5. Comply with researchers’ recommendations to address any significant adverse effects were determined by the City to be feasible.

In considering any suggested mitigation proposed by the consulting paleontologist, the City’s Community Development Department Staff shall determine whether avoidance is necessary and feasible in light of factors such as the nature of the find, project design, costs, Specific or General Plan policies and land use assumptions, and other considerations. If avoidance is unnecessary or infeasible, other appropriate measures (e.g., data recovery) shall be instituted. Work Developer Developer,

TCR 1 If potential tribal cultural resources (TCRs) are discovered during ground disturbing construction activities, all work shall cease within 100 feet of the find (or an appropriate distance based on the apparent distribution of the TCR). A qualified cultural resources specialist meeting the Secretary of Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for Archaeology, as well as Native American Representatives from traditionally and culturally affiliated Native American Tribes that have engaged in consultation for the project will be invited to assess the significance of the find and make recommendations for further evaluation and treatment as necessary. Culturally appropriate treatment may include, but is not limited to, processing materials for reburial, minimizing handling of cultural objects, leaving objects in place within the landscape, or returning objects to a location within the project area where they will not be subject to future impacts. The United Auburn Indian Community of the Auburn Rancheria (Tribe) does not consider curation of TCR’s to be appropriate or respectful and request that materials not be permanently curated, unless requested by the Tribe.

The types of treatment preferred by UAIC that protects, preserves, or restores the integrity of a TCR may include Tribal Monitoring, or recovery of cultural objects, and reburial of cultural objects or cultural soil that is done in a culturally appropriate manner.

Recommendations of the treatment of a TCR will be documented in the project record. For any recommendations made by traditionally Developer Developer,

CITY OF YUBA CITY

STAFF REPORT
Date: April 18, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council;
From: Public Works Department
Presentation By: Phil Marler, Deputy Director Public Works - Utilities Summary
Subject: Water Supply Outlook
Recommendation: Adopt a Resolution declaring that water supply conditions are such that they dictate and justify the reduction of mandatory conservation measures from Stage 3 “Severe Shortage” to Stage 1 “Water Alert” of the Water Shortage Contingency Plan
Fiscal Impact: Adequate water supply and reduced restricted usage may result in increased revenue
Purpose:

To provide the City’s current water supply outlook and reduce mandatory water conservation requirements for City water customers.

Council’s Strategic Goal:

This item addresses Council’s Strategic Goal of Public Safety and Fiscal Responsibility by ensuring adequate water supply and appropriate water use restrictions for City’s customers.

Background:

The City of Yuba City primarily obtains water for its water system through four different permits/contracts from the Feather River; the City also has access to groundwater for use in drought or emergency conditions via Groundwater Well #1, located at the Water Treatment Plant (WTP).

While drought conditions in 2022 caused the City’s water supplies to be significantly curtailed and reduced, recent rainfall and snow levels have replenished our water supply and reduced state requirements for conservation. The allocations for 2022 and 2023 are shown below in Table A for comparison.

*The City sold 3,999 AF of carryover water to San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency in March 2023 in order to capitalize on water supplies in the San Luis Reservoir that would have been lost due to reservoir capacity limits.
**Staff anticipates banking approximately 4,000 AF of the State Water Project allocation as water supplies are more than sufficient to meet the 2023 need.

On March 28, 2022, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-7-22, which required all urban water suppliers to implement minimum Stage 2 “Water Warning” of their Water Shortage Contingency Plans with a target of 20% conservation due to the limited water supply under drought conditions. As the City already voluntarily implemented Stage 2 in July 2021, which had not met the State’s targeted water conservation, the City Council approved the move to Stage 3 “Severe Shortage” on April 19, 2022 in order to implement mandatory water restrictions, including restricting outdoor irrigation to two days per week, to better meet the requirements of the Executive Order.

Analysis:

Due to the above-average precipitation in the first quarter of 2023, the Department of Water Resources increased the City’s State Water Project allotment from 15% for 2022 to 85% for 2023. On March 24, 2023, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-5-23, which eliminated many of the drought response requirements, including allowing local agencies the flexibility to determine the appropriate water conservation measures and Water Shortage Contingency Plan stages based on their water allocations and consumer needs.

In light of these factors, the outlook for 2023 is positive and there is sufficient water supply to meet or exceed the needs of our customers. Staff recommends that Council reduce the City’s stage of the Water Shortage Contingency Plan from Stage 3 “Severe Shortage” to Stage 1 “Water Alert.” This stage

Page 331 of 418 ends

eliminates mandatory restrictions and conservation percentage targets, but still allows for enforcement of violations for unnecessary water waste, such as irrigation within 48 hours of rainfall and using hoses to wash cars without shutoff nozzles.

The prohibitions against irrigating non-functional turf at commercial, industrial, and institutional properties will remain in effect, as this is a state regulation.

Moving forward, staff is working to further analyze and maximize the City’s permit rights and other water supply sources, including North Yuba Water District, to prepare for future updates to state allocation standards.

Fiscal Impact:

Increased water availability and reduced water restrictions will likely result in higher sales and revenue for Fiscal Year 23/24 compared to Fiscal Year 22/23.

Alternatives:

Do not leave Stage 3 and continue enforcing mandatory water restrictions, including restricted outdoor irrigation. While this will conserve water for future use, it will result in lower revenues due to decreased water sales and costs for staff time to enforce violations and conduct outreach.

Recommendation:

Adopt a Resolution declaring that water supply conditions are such that they dictate and justify the reduction of mandatory conservation measures from Stage 3 “Severe Shortage” to Stage 1 “Water Alert” of the Water Shortage Contingency Plan.

RESOLUTION NO. 23-__

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF YUBA CITY

DECLARING THAT WATER SUPPLY CONDITIONS ARE SUCH THAT THEY DICTATE AND JUSTIFY THE REDUCTION FROM STAGE 3 TO STAGE 1 OF THE

WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY PLAN
WHEREAS, on April 19, 2022, the City implemented Stage 3 “Severe Shortage” of the City’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan with a 20% conservation target in response to Governor Newsom’s Executive Order N-7-22 ordering the State Water Resource Control Board to require urban water suppliers to implement, at minimum, Stage 2 of said suppliers’ Water Shortage Contingency Plans to achieve a goal of 20% water conservation in response to ongoing drought conditions; and WHEREAS, on March 24, 2023, due to above-average precipitation during the first quarter of 2023, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-5-23 to eliminate or reduce mandatory drought response requirements for local agencies and allow them flexibility to adjust water conservation stages according to their needs; and WHEREAS, on March 24, 2023, the Department of Water Resources increased the City’s water allocation from the Feather River through the State Water Project from 15% to 85% of the annual 9,600 acre-feet, greatly increasing the City’s available water supply for 2023; and
WHEREAS, despite current water surplus conditions, the precipitation levels and water supply in California are tenuous and require Yuba City residents and businesses to make water conservation efforts a way of life by reducing unnecessary water waste; and
WHEREAS, Section 6-6.19 of the Municipal Code dictates that upon declaration of the City Council that water supply conditions are such that they dictate and justify the implementation of emergency water restrictions, the regulations in the Water Shortage Contingency Plan within the City’s adopted Urban Water Management Plan will apply.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Yuba City hereby declares that water supply conditions are such that they dictate and justify the reduction of emergency water conservation measures from Stage 3 “Severe Shortage” to Stage 1 “Water Alert” of the City’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan. The City Council orders reduction of emergency water conservation measures to Stage 1 “Water Alert” of the City’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan, effective immediately.

The foregoing resolution was duly and regularly introduced, passed, and adopted by the City Council of the City of Yuba City at a regular meeting thereof held on the 18th day of April, 2023.

$29,900 - City Administration (1.5%)
$270,800 - Additional Professional Services (Amendment No. 1) Purpose:

To provide additional water resources by securing access to groundwater at the Water Treatment Plant.

Council’s Strategic Goals:

The project addresses the City Council’s Strategic Goal of Improving the City’s Infrastructure.

Background:

The United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) has awarded the City of Yuba City a $750,000 grant for the construction of a new potable groundwater well. A California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) document and a USBR-approved National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) document have both

Page 340 of 418 ends

been completed.

On September 7, 2021 Council approved of awarding a professional services agreement to West Yost and Associates, Inc. (West Yost) for the design of the Second Groundwater Well. The design and construction of the new well was broken down into two phases. West Yost finished plans and specifications for the below-ground facilities summer 2022 and also provided hydrogeologic and engineering services during the construction of the below-ground facilities. Most recently, West Yost completed final plans and specifications for the above-ground facilities that were adopted by Council on March 7, 2023.

The construction of the below-ground facilities is substantially complete with minor restoration of the construction site still remaining to be completed. The new well was developed where it achieved a maximum flow rate of approximately 2,500 gallons per minute.

The second phase is to construct the above-ground facilities for the well including a three-sided structure, electrical cabinets, and equip the well with pump related equipment and plumbing. West Yost completed plans and specifications for the above-ground facilities in early 2023. Staff received Council authorization to solicit bids on February 21, 2023.

Analysis:

The Well Equipping phase of the Second Groundwater Well Project was advertised for bids beginning March 8, 2023. Plans and Specifications were posted on Public Purchase. On April 5, 2023 four (4) bids were received and opened by the Deputy City Clerk. A list of the bids received and the Engineer’s Estimate are shown below:

Company Total Bid
Engineer’s Estimate $2,730,500.00
Auburn Constructors LLC $1,994,300.00
Koch & Koch, Inc. $2,522,750.00
Syblon Reid $2,159,500.00
TNT Industrial Contractors, Inc. $2,334,465.00
Auburn Constructors LLC of Sacramento, CA is the low, responsible, and responsive bidder.

With Council award of the construction contract, staff anticipates authorizing the contractor to proceed in June 2023. The first order of work will be approval of submittals and release of manufacturing for long lead time equipment, which should occur by October 2023. Due to long manufacturing lead times, final completion is not expected until February 2025. Staff will be looking for opportunities to expedite the project. If an emergency drought situation arises in Summer 2024, staff can rent temporary pumps, a generator, and discharge piping to use the well if needed.

West Yost has requested an amendment to their professional services agreement with the City. Due to complications during the drilling phase of the project, a second hole needed to be drilled. As a result, additional hydrogeologic services were provided.

Also, the complexity of the existing electrical system at the Water Treatment Plant required a more indepth design of the electrical power supply system for the well. Additional design considerations were developed after finding there was not an existing transformer that has the capacity to power the new well and the other operations at the Water Treatment Plant. This will lead to additional services during construction of the second phase.

West Yost has determined that the additional costs to perform this extra work described above is

Page 341 of 418 ends

$270,800. An amendment to the professional services agreement is attached as Attachment 1, Exhibit B.

City purchasing policies require that extra work of this magnitude be approved by Council. Obtaining this approval prior to performing the extra work would have required construction of the new well to be halted, which would have exposed the City to delay claims from the construction contractor and delayed bringing the well online during a time of drought. Staff has informed West Yost of the City purchasing policies and in the future all efforts will be made to obtain Council approval of extra work prior to the work being performed.

Fiscal Impact:

Contract administration will be performed by Public Works Department staff. Staff will be developing a Request for Proposals for the Construction Management and Inspection services for the project that will be presented to Council at a future meeting. Assuming these services will be approximately 10% of the construction cost, the total estimated cost of the Phase 2 construction activities plus the West Yost amendment total $2,793,575. The project will be funded through CIP Account No. 1191-65501(Second Groundwater Well). Currently, there is approximately $3.28 million of available funds in this account.

The total estimated cost to complete all phases of the Second Groundwater Well is approximately $4.4 million, as shown below. The original budgeted amount for the project in FY 2019-20 was over $4.8 million.

West Yost Contract: $572,498.00

Phase 1 – Below Ground
Construction Contract: $929,159.00
Construction Contingency: $92,916.00
Construction Management: $25,000.00

Amendment No. 1 – West Yost Agreement: $270,800.00
Subtotal New Request: $2,793,575.00
Total Project Cost: $4,413,148.00
Environmental:

Council adopted an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) at the award of the belowground construction contract on July 5, 2022.

Alternatives:

1. Do not award the construction contract, reject all bids, and do not approve of Amendment No. 1 to the West Yost agreement which would delay the City from having additional water resources.

2. Award construction contract, but do not approve of Amendment No. 1 to the West Yost agreement and provide direction to staff to address the additional costs that West Yost has

Page 342 of 418 ends

accrued.

3. Do not award the construction contract, but approve Amendment No. 1 to the West Yost agreement which would delay the City from having additional water resources, but would address the additional costs that West Yost has accrued.

Recommendation: Adopt a Resolution which takes the following actions:

A. Award a construction contract to Auburn Constructors LLC of Sacramento, CA in the amount of their total bid of $1,994,300 and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract on behalf of the City, subject to review and approval as to legal form by the City Attorney B.

Koch & Koch, Inc. $2,522,750.00
Syblon Reid $2,159,500.00
TNT Industrial Contractors, Inc. $2,334,465.00; and
WHEREAS, the City Public Works Department has reviewed the four (4) bids, and having examined Auburn Constructors LLC and its bid response, found it to be both the lowest qualified responsive and responsible bidder, and has recommended it for award of this project; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to award the bid to Auburn Constructors LLC to construct the Project; and
WHEREAS, the City Council awarded a Professional Services Agreement to West Yost and Associates, Inc. (West Yost) to provide design of the below- and above-ground facilities, and hydrogeologic and engineering services during construction, for the Second Groundwater Well Project; and
WHEREAS, West Yost incurred additional costs due to unforeseen complications during Phase 1 of the Project where additional hydrogeologic and design services were required; and

Page 345 of 418 ends

2. The City Council previously prepared and certified an MND for the project. The MND identified the construction of a groundwater well on the project site. The award of a construction contract to effectuate the same does not change the environmental assessment of the MND. Further, the City Council further finds that no subsequent review is required under CEQA Guidelines section 15162 as since the time of adoption of the MND no substantial changes have been proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previously adopted MND due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of the previously identified significant effects. Likewise, no substantial changes have occurred since that time with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the MND due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or substantial increase in the severity of the previously identified significant effects. There is also no new information, which was not known and could not have been known at the time of the adoption of the MND that the project will have significant effect not discussed in the MND. As such, the City Council finds the construction of phase 2 of the groundwater well has already been fully assessed in accordance with CEQA, no subsequent review is required under CEQA Guidelines section 15162, and no further action or review is required under CEQA.

3. The City Council of the City of Yuba City does hereby accept the four (4) bids received as noted above.

4. On the basis of findings in Section 2, the City Council further finds Auburn Constructors LLC is the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and awards the Construction Contract Agreement to Auburn Constructors LLC of Sacramento, CA for the construction of the above-ground facilities for the Second Groundwater Well Project in the amount of $1,994,300.00, subject to material terms.

4. The City Council of the City of Yuba City authorizes the City Manager to execute the contract on behalf of the City, subject to review and approval as to legal form by the City Attorney.

5. The City Council of the City of Yuba City authorizes the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 on behalf of the City.

6. This Resolution shall become effective immediately.

The foregoing Resolution was duly and regularly introduced, passed, and adopted by the City Council of the City of Yuba City at a regular meeting thereof held on the 18th day of April 2023.

Agenda Item 16

CITY OF YUBA CITY

STAFF REPORT
Date: April 18, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council;
From: Administration Department
Presentation By: Diana Langley, City Manager
Summary
Subject: Merriment Village Apartments - Homekey 3.0 Grant Application Submittal Recommendation: Authorize the City Manager to continue to work with Habitat for Humanity to apply for Homekey 3.0 funds through the State Department of Housing and Community Development for a 79-unit affordable housing project located at 428 North Walton Avenue, which is Phase 1 of the proposed 217-unit Merriment Village Apartments
Fiscal Impact: Habitat for Humanity is requesting a contribution of $1,787,922 from the City toward City of Yuba City development fees and $155,000 annually of Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Funding for ongoing annual operation costs.

Purpose:

To provide affordable housing options through the development of Habitat for Humanity's proposed Merriment Village Apartment Project, a 217-unit apartment complex located on the east side of Walton Avenue, north of Franklin Road. The project will be broken into multiple phases, with Phase 1 including a 79-unit apartment building and the site work for the entire project.

Council's Strategic Goal:

This proposed project addresses Council's goals of Public Safety, Fiscal Responsibility, and the overarching goal of Quality of Life.

Background:

For approximately the last year, Vice Mayor Harris and Councilmember Boomgaarden have worked on a committee with Habitat for Humanity to explore opportunities to provide affordable housing options within Yuba City utilizing the California Department of Housing and Community Development's (HCD) Homekey funding. Through the process, the team evaluated existing hotel/motel sites for the potential to convert to affordable housing. In evaluating these sites, the owners were either unwilling to sell, were asking too much for the property, or the sites were not a good fit for conversion to affordable housing. Once it was determined that an existing site was not an option, consideration was turned to vacant properties for new construction.

The committee looked at a couple of vacant properties that were large enough to accommodate a

Page 411 of 418 ends

sizable project, and landed on a 7.47-acre property located on the east side of Walton Avenue, north of Franklin Road, identified as 428 North Walton Avenue, APN 58-120-001. Habitat for Humanity brought their design team together, consisting of Hilbers, Inc. of Yuba City and BSB Design of Sacramento to develop a site plan for a proposed 217-unit apartment complex titled Merriment Village Apartments.

Homekey is a statewide effort to sustain and rapidly expand housing for persons experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. Homekey requires lead applicants to be cities, counties, cities and counties, and all other state, regional, and local public entities, which is why Habitat for Humanity is requesting the City's participation in the project. Homekey funding requires a 55-year commitment for the use of the property to be affordable permanent housing. There is an option that the City would be able to sell the property should it not be feasible. However, the use would still be required to meet Homekey standards and must be approved by HCD. Habitat for Humanity will be the owner and property manager for the site, and multiple agencies will provide support services to residents.

On March 29th, HCD issued a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for Round 3 of Homekey and noted $736 million available statewide. For the Sacramento region, which includes the counties of El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba, there is a total of $37,158,338 available. Funding available through Homekey 3.0 will not be enough to fund the entire project, which is estimated at close to $75 million, so Habitat for Humanity is proposing to split the project into multiple phases and evaluate other funding programs, such as the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) Program, for the remaining phases.

The ASHC Program is also administered by HCD and funds land-use, housing, transportation, and land preservation projects to support infill and compact development that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The AHSC Program is provided from the State's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, which is an account established to receive Cap-and-Trade auction proceeds. The most recent round of the AHSC Program recently closed, so Habitat for Humanity will be looking to apply during the next round anticipated in 2024.

Also in regard to funding, in July 2020, the City applied for the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) grant under HCD. The City was awarded approximately $310,000 on an annual basis. The City was required to submit a plan to allocate the PLHA funding with the grant application and the City committed to utilizing 50% for the predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of affordable, multi-family rental housing projects in collaboration with the Regional Housing Authority and other affordable housing developers. The remaining 50% is to be used for supportive services and programs for the local homeless population in collaboration with Sutter County, Sutter Yuba Homeless Consortium, and other qualified homeless service providers. Over the five years covered by the current Notice of Funding Availability under the PLHA program, the City is projected to receive a total of $1,866,000.

The scope for the entire proposed Merriment Village Apartments includes the following:
• 70 Studio Units
• 67 1 Bedroom/1 Bathroom Units
• 79 2 Bedroom/1 Bathroom Units
• 1 3 Bedroom/2 Bathroom Unit
• Club house/Supportive Services
• Facilities Building
A community workshop was held on February 28, 2023, to obtain community feedback on the proposed project. The attached flyer and presentation were provided to attendees. Approximately 20

Page 412 of 418 ends

individuals plus City staff and the Habitat for Humanity project team attended the workshop. Concerns expressed at the workshop are summarized below:
• Traffic - Increase in traffic, particularly when considering the cumulative impact of several proposed projects within the area, and safety of pedestrians and bicyclists • Construction Timeline - Homekey requires an aggressive construction schedule. Can the project be constructed within the allowed timeframe?
• Fire Department Access to the proposed 4-story building - Does the Fire Department have the ability to access a 4-story building?
• Potential of the City “waiving” the Impact Fees - What are the long-term impacts of the City "waiving" the Impact Fees?
• Energy Efficiency - Was the project designed with energy efficiency in mind? • Prevailing Wage/Use of Local Labor Force - Will the project be required to pay prevailing wages and will local labor be used to construct the project?
• Require developers to make 10% of their residential developments available for affordable housing - The City should require that residential developers make 10% of their proposed residential projects available for affordable housing.
• Capacity of the local schools - Does Yuba City Unified School District have the capacity to serve this project?
• Concerns with the height of the 4-Story building fronting Walton Avenue - Yuba City is a rural community and a 4-story building does not fit in with the rural nature of the City.

On March 21, 2023, the City Council received a presentation on Merriment Village from Habitat for Humanity, which included a request that the City Council consider waiving fees that would be owed the City, totaling $4,500,000, as well as contribute $155,000 of PLHA funding toward the annual ongoing operation of the project. Overall, Council expressed support for the project but had concerns regarding the fee waiver request and contribution of ongoing funding. Council directed staff to bring back the project for formal consideration.

Analysis:

With only $37,158,338 of Homekey funding available for the Sacramento region, and an estimated project cost close to $75 million, it is not possible for the entire proposed Merriment Village Project to be funded through the Homekey program. Habitat for Humanity is proposing to split the project into multiple phases, with Phase 1 including the 4-story, 79-unit building comprised of 2 bedroom/1 bathroom units fronting Walton Avenue, and the site work for the remainder of the site. If approved by Council, the City and Habitat for Humanity will be applying for up to $19 million for Phase 1.

It is anticipated that the application for Homekey 3.0 will be issued around April 24th. If Council authorizes the City Manager to proceed with applying for Homekey 3.0 funds in partnership with Habitat for Humanity, staff will bring back an authorizing resolution along with the Standard Agreement for consideration at the May 2nd Council meeting. Once the application is submitted, there is a 40-90 day approval process from HCD.

For the remaining portion of the project, Habitat for Humanity is looking ahead to the next release of AHSC Program funding, which is anticipated in 2024. There is no guarantee as to availability of funding or timeline for the remainder of the project. It is possible that Phase I could be constructed and the remainder of the site remain undeveloped for an extended period of time. Also, it is likely that Habitat for Humanity will request a City contribution toward future phases as well.

Fiscal Impact:

Habitat for Humanity is requesting that the City Council consider waiving fees that would be owed to the City, totaling $1,787,922 as well as contribute $155,000 of Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funding toward the annual ongoing operation of the project. Projected City fees for the development of the project are as follows:

City Fee Fee Estimate
Development Impact Fees $780,147.91
Building Permit Fees $199,594.72
Sewer Connection & Extension Fees $495,956.07
Water Connection Fees $312,223.08
Total Estimated City Fees: $1,787,921.78
An outright waiver of the fees would typically require them to be paid or offset from another source.

Instead, options available to address the fees include:
• Execute a loan for the fees that would then be paid by a combination of PLHA funds and other funding sources available to the City for affordable housing. There is approximately $1,474,000 of Low-Mod Housing Asset Funds available, although $1M is currently committed to the Richland Village Affordable Housing Development project through January 19, 2025. Should the Richland Village project not proceed, the $1M would be available for Merriment Village or other affordable housing projects.
• Direct all or a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the nine (9) Housing Successor agency homes toward the fees for Merriment Village. The Regional Housing Authority is interested in utilizing at least a portion of the proceeds for their proposed senior housing project on Garden Highway. However, the City has not committed those funds to the Regional Housing Authority at this time.
• Direct all or a portion of the proceeds from the sale of City-owned surplus properties toward the fees for Merriment Village.
• Request that Habitat for Humanity include a portion or all of the fees in their grant applications.

In regard to the request for $155,000 of the City's PLHA funds for the ongoing operation of the project, it cannot be assumed that HCD will continue to provide the funding for the 55-year duration required by Homekey funding. Should the PLHA program be discontinued, the City would need the ability to discontinue contributing toward the ongoing operation of the project, or identify alternative funding sources. In addition, there are several demands for the PLHA funding including the City's contribution to Sutter County for the ongoing operation of the Second Street homeless campground, estimated to be approximately $90,000 annually.

Alternatives:

1. Deny the request to submit an application under Homekey 3 to HCD.

2. Modify the City's contribution toward the project.

Recommendation:

Authorize the City Manager to continue to work with Habitat for Humanity to apply for Homekey 3.0 funds through the State Department of Housing and Community Development for a 79-unit affordable housing project located at 428 North Walton Avenue, which is Phase 1 of the proposed 217-unit Merriment Village Apartments.
