CLOSED SESSION REPORT BY CITY ATTORNEY — None
Mayor Peterson called on City Manager Wilson, who provided supporting information for Administrative
Item No. 13 (lease agreement for 5770 Research Drive — development and operation of a 50-bed
navigation center). Manager Wilson addressed the City's legal obligations to act on securing a property
for transitional housing for the homeless. He asked if the Mayor, in response to the negative feedback
from the community on the Research Drive site, would consider withdrawing Item No. 13 from tonight's
agenda and consider an alternate property for approval at a future date.
Mayor Peterson provided his impression that the court would allow the City additional time to secure an
alternate location in the very near future, and concurred with Mr. Wilson's suggestion to take no action on
Agenda Item No. 13.

NO ACTION TAKEN
COUNCILMEMBER ITEMS
14. 19-409 Approved as Amended — Notice of Termination of Rainbow/Republic Services
Evergreen Contract
Mayor Pro Tem Semeta introduced this item by providing a brief history of the process to this point, and
stated that the effort is not to necessarily end the relationship with Rainbow/Republic, but simply to
renegotiate some of the terms, especially the Evergreen Contract.
Councilmember Posey confirmed with Mayor Peterson that this is the "future date for more facts" as
referenced in the minutes from a previous update.
A motion was made by Posey, second Delgleize, to continue the item for 4 weeks to allow staff time to
present the facts concerning where they are in the negotiation process so that a decision is based on the
facts. Discussion ensued.
Mayor Peterson clarified that Rainbow/Republic has not offered up anything during negotiations, and
stated that he believes that just giving notice is the most prudent thing to do at this time.
Councilmember Carr asked for clarification on whether this is a 15-year or 18-year contract. Mayor
Peterson explained that it is a 15-year contract, however a Notice of Termination would not be effective
for 18 years, and Rainbow/Republic can approach the City at any time during the next 18 years to re-
negotiate the contract, or wait 18 years to re-negotiate. In response to Councilmember Carr's question
about acquiring other bids for the service, Mayor Peterson replied that other bids could be acquired but
only for purposes of information because the City is obligated to the current contract for 18 years after
intent to terminate is presented.
Councilmember Delgleize stated that she is not aware that there was ever a report from the Ad Hoc
Committee that was looking at this issue, and that is the process she would expect to follow.
Councilmember Brenden asked for history behind the current contract; what conditions might be different
in the refuse business today which makes the Evergeen Contract not so attractive; and, could revocation
of the contract result in a reduced level of service? He further stated that in his opinion having more
background information and answers to his questions is necessary before the Council considers a Notice
of Termination.

Council/PFA Regular Minutes
April 1, 2019
Page 10 of 12
Councilmember Delgleize explained that back in 2008 Rainbow was planning to make big, long-term
investments to update machines and their facility to meet the demands of the growing recycle market
(which hardly exists today), and groundwater replenishment programs did not exist back then. She
stated her support for a review of the Evergreen Contract and presentation of facts.
Mayor Peterson explained that the Finance Commission years ago supported a long-term contract to
ensure that Rainbow had time to recoup their costs; however, the Commission did not recommend the
Evergreen Contract. There was also concern about the damage to the alleys and streets accessed by
three refuse trucks each week. Mayor Peterson reminded Council that Rainbow was a family-owned
business when the City approved the Evergreen Contract, and stated his opinion that going out for a bid
resulting in a purchase by Republic should have allowed City to re-negotiate the contract with the new
owners.
Councilmember Hardy stated that a lot has changed in the last decade, and if the Council decides to
terminate the Evergreen Contract it does not mean the end of doing business with Rainbow/Republic, but
it should mean going out to bid periodically. She added that long-term contracts are not unusual for this
industry, and suggested a compromise substitute motion asking staff to prepare the termination letter as
well as a report on the status of negotiations be set for the first meeting in May. In her opinion, taking
this action will provide an opportunity for the sitting Council 18 years from now to decide how to proceed.
Councilmember Posey stated that an Evergreen Contract is not necessarily all bad, as it can offer
protection to both the company and the residents. He further stated he is interested in having a staff
report that details the negotiation progress so a decision is made based on facts.
Councilmember Brenden clarified that at the May 6 meeting Council could ask for even further details or
clarification before voting on the Notice of Termination.
A substitute motion was made by Peterson, second Semeta, to direct the City Manager to prepare a
letter of written notification to Republic Services of the City's intent to terminate the current franchise
agreement pursuant to the terms of the agreement, and present that termination letter to the City Council
for approval at the next-scheduled City Council meeting, as amended to return on May 6 with written
letter of termination and a detailed report that includes differences in process/programs (then
and now), future of recyclable material, how the cancellation clause affects residents, and status
of current negotiations.
The substitute motion carried by the following vote:
AYES: Brenden, Carr, Semeta, Peterson, Posey, Delgleize, and Hardy
NOES: None

SUBMITTED BY:Fred A. Wilson, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Antonia Graham, Assistant to the City Manager
Subject:
City Council position on legislation pending before Congress and the State Legislature as

Recommended Action:
A) Approve a City position of Support on H.R. 976 - Air Traffic Noise and Pollution Expert
Consensus Act of 2019 (Lynch); and,
B) Approve a City position of Oppose on Assembly Bill 1731 (Horvath) - Short Term Rentals:
Coastal Zone.

Analysis:
The Intergovernmental Relations Committee (IRC) met to discuss pending Federal and State
legislation along with regional issues. The Committee reviewed the 2019 State Legislative Matrix
provided by the City’s Federal and State Advocate Townsend Public Affairs. The following is an
analysis of the bills that the Committee chose to take the following positions on:
Ø SUPPORT - H.R. 976 - Air Traffic Noise and Pollution Expert Consensus Act of 2019
(Lynch - D. MA)
The City recently convened a Jet Noise Commission tasked with advising the City Council on

File #:19-435 MEETING DATE:4/15/2019
The City recently convened a Jet Noise Commission tasked with advising the City Council on
matters relating to commercial jet noise. The Commission met and discussed the impacts of
Next Gen and requested that the Intergovernmental Relations Committee review and take a
position on this bill. Introduced in the House of Representatives by Congressional Member
Lynch from Massachusetts, this bill if signed into law would direct the Administrator of the
Federal Aviation Administration to enter into appropriate arrangements with the National
Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to provide for a report on the health impacts
of air traffic noise and pollution.
Ø OPPOSE - Assembly Bill 1731 (Horvath) - Short Term Rentals: Coastal Zone
Existing law requires a hosting platform, to provide specific notice to an occupant listing a
residence for short-term rental on a hosting platform that states, among other things, that, if
the occupant is a tenant, listing the room, home, condo, or apartment may violate the lease or
contract and could result in legal action by the landlord.
This bill would authorize a hosting platform to make available a residentially zoned or
residentially used unit within a residential property that is located within the coastal zone as a
short-term rental 365 days per year if the primary resident lives onsite of the residential
property full time. The bill would prohibit a hosting platform from making available residential
property that is located within the coastal zone in which the primary resident does not live
onsite full time as a short-term rental for more than 30 days per year, unless the primary
resident makes the residential property available as a short-term rental in accordance with the
Lower Coastal Accommodations Program administered by the State Coastal Conservancy.
The City is represented on the League of California Cities - Coastal Cities Issues Group by
Council Member Jill Hardy and this was a bill that was sent for comment staff at the League.
Assembly Member Horvath’s intent was to create legislation that sets the minimum standards
governing short-term rentals in the coastal zone. This bill would effectively take away local
control from coastal cities and mandate a short term rental program by creating a legislative
mandate that sets “minimum standards” that the local jurisdiction may not agree with.
Environmental Status:
Not Applicable.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Enhance and maintain high quality City services

california legislature—2019–20 regular session
ASSEMBLY BILL No. 1731
Introduced by Assembly Member Boerner Horvath
February 22, 2019
An act to add Section 22596 to the Business and Professions Code,
relating to business.
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 1731, as introduced, Boerner Horvath. Short-term rentals: coastal
zone.
Existing law requires a hosting platform, as defined, to provide a
specific notice to an occupant listing a residence for short-term rental
on a hosting platform that states, among other things, that, if the
occupant is a tenant, listing the room, home, condominium, or apartment
may violate the lease or contract and could result in legal action by the
landlord, including possible eviction.
This bill would authorize a housing platform to make available a
residentially zoned or residentially used unit within a residential property
that is located within the coastal zone as a short-term rental 365 days
per year if the primary resident lives onsite of the residential property
full time. The bill would prohibit a housing platform from making
available residential property that is located within the coastal zone in
which the primary resident does not live onsite full time as a short-term
rental for more than 30 days per year, unless the primary resident makes
the residential property available as a short-term rental in accordance
with the Lower Cost Coastal Accommodations Program administered
by the State Coastal Conservancy. The bill would also require the
housing platform facilitator of the short-term rental to be responsible
99 53
for collecting and remitting applicable transient occupancy taxes, as
specified.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
line 1 SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the
line 2 following:
line 3 (a) California is in the midst of a statewide affordable housing
line 4 crisis; while concurrently experiencing a proliferation of
line 5 unregulated short-term rentals (STRs) of residential units.
line 6 (b) The housing shortage is particularly acute in the coastal
line 7 zone, where housing can be much more difficult to approve than
line 8 elsewhere in the state, and any unit removed permanently from
line 9 the zone’s housing stock is difficult, if not impossible, to replace.
line 10 (c) The recent spike of short-term rentals of residential units
line 11 reduces the availability of already scarce affordable housing in
line 12 many communities, and additionally increases undisclosed tourist
line 13 traffic and compounds demands on local public service providers.
line 14 (d) Promulgated by affluent investor activity, affordable housing
line 15 stock diminishes as long-term rentals are snatched up to turn a
line 16 quick profit in the short-term rental market while transforming
line 17 quiet coastal neighborhoods into year-round hotel zones as visitors
line 18 use short-term rentals as crash pads.
line 19 (e) Moreover, it is insurmountably cost-prohibitive for most
line 20 communities, neither the host who makes residences available for
line 21 occupancy for fewer than 30 days, nor the hosting platforms collect
line 22 and remit applicable transient occupancy taxes, which were put in
line 23 place for the funding of critical community services.
line 24 (f) Currently, cities and counties are wrestling with best practices
line 25 for online short-term rental companies, not only to retain a
line 26 sufficient housing market, but to obtain the information they need
line 27 to enforce local laws and collect taxes on overnight stays.
line 28 (g) Municipalities in the coastal zone face an additional barrier
line 29 to regulating short-term rentals, as the California Coastal
line 30 Commission has found that “coastal access” includes short-term
line 31 rentals and has rejected local ordinances intended to minimize or
line 32 ban the number of these types of rentals in residential areas.
99
— 2 — AB 1731 54
line 1 (h) In the decade since the popularization of the online home
line 2 sharing industry, San Diego’s estimated inventory of short-term
line 3 rentals has grown to more than 11,000, the majority of which are
line 4 entire homes that are being rented out for short-term stays,
line 5 according to the data analytics firm Host Compliance.
line 6 (i) Housing units that rent on a short-term basis, less than 30
line 7 days at a time, for the entire year by definition remove housing
line 8 stock from the coastal zone, and fly in the face of our state’s
line 9 housing goal of providing for 3,500,000 additional housing units
line 10 on the market by 2025.
line 11 SEC. 2. Section 22596 is added to the Business and Professions
line 12 Code, immediately following Section 22594, to read:
line 13 22596. (a) A housing platform shall not make available

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Fred A. Wilson, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Travis K. Hopkins, PE, Director of Public Works
Subject:
Approve the Infrastructure Fund Annual Report for FY 2017-2018
Statement of Issue:
The City Charter requires an annual review and performance audit of the Infrastructure Fund, and a
report of the findings to the City Council prior to adoption of the following fiscal year budget. This
review covers the fiscal year (FY) 2017-18.
Financial Impact:
None.
Recommended Action:
Approve the Infrastructure Fund Annual Report for FY 2017-2018.
Alternative Action(s):
Instruct staff to make revisions and resubmit at a later date.
Analysis:
The Infrastructure Fund was established 2002, by City Charter Section 617(c), which states, “the City
Council shall by ordinance establish a Citizens Infrastructure Advisory Board (CIAB) to conduct an
annual review and performance audit of the Infrastructure Fund and report its findings to the City
Council prior to adoption of the following fiscal year budget.”
The single substantial revenue source to the fund is General Fund excess fund balance per the
Financial Policy adopted in FY 2006-07 and revised in FY 2009-10. The policy states the General
Fund unassigned fund balance will be allocated 50% to the Economic Uncertainties Reserve, 25% to
the Infrastructure Fund and 25% to the Capital Improvement Reserve. Beginning in FY 17-18,
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects previously budgeted in the General Fund, were instead
budgeted in the Infrastructure Fund with an accompanying General Fund transfer. Transfers in FY 17

-18 totaled $6,521,836 to fund infrastructure improvements and purchase equipment used to
maintain infrastructure. Other revenue included interest and a maintenance agreement
reimbursement for a total of $67,953. There was also a significant market adjustment that had an
$85,019 negative impact on the fund balance. Total revenue was $6,504,770. Because FY 17-18
was a truncated, nine-month fiscal year (October through June), many projects couldn’t be completed
in that time frame. Expenditures for the year totaled $2,217,734. The fund balance at year’s end
(June 30, 2018) was $9,146,598.
Per the City Charter, the Infrastructure Fund is designated for the sole purpose of infrastructure
expenditures. “Infrastructure” is defined in the Charter as “long-lived capital assets that normally are
stationary in nature and normally can be preserved for significantly greater number of years. They
include storm drains, storm water pump stations, alleys, streets, highways, curbs and gutters,
sidewalks, bridges, street trees, landscaped medians, parks, beach facilities, playgrounds, traffic
signals, streetlights, block walls along arterial highways, and all public buildings and public ways.”
Infrastructure expenditures are defined as “direct costs related to infrastructure improvements or
maintenance, including construction, design, engineering, project management, inspection, contract
administration and property acquisition.”
Citizens Infrastructure Advisory Board Action:
The annual Infrastructure Fund Report was approved at the February 28, 2019, meeting of the
Citizens Infrastructure Advisory Board by a vote of 4-0-2 (Schlosser, Thienes absent - one seat on
the Board is currently vacant).
Environmental Status:
Not applicable
Strategic Plan Goal:
Enhance and maintain infrastructure

CITIZEN’S INFRASTRUCTURE ADVISORY BOARD
1
SUBMITTED TO: Citizen’s Infrastructure Advisory Board
SUBMITTED BY: Travis K. Hopkins, PE, Director of Public Works
DATE: February 28, 2019
SUBJECT: Approve Infrastructure Fund Annual Report
Statement of Issue: The City Charter requires an annual review and performance
audit of the Infrastructure Fund, and a report of the findings to the Ci ty Council.
This provides information pre-audit information on Fiscal Year 2017/18 and budget
information on the current fiscal year.
Funding Source: Infrastructure Fund No. 314
Recommended Action: Motion to recommend to City Council approval of the
Infrastructure Fund Annual Report.
Alternative Action(s): Direct staff to modify the Annual Report.
Analysis: The Infrastructure Fund was established in 2002, by City Charter Section
617. Per Section 617 (a), the originally intended revenue source for the
Infrastructure Fund was a planned utility use tax on natural gas purchased to
generate electricity. However, this ballot measure failed. So, while the Charter
amendment created the fund, it was left with no source of revenue.
Other Charter requirements related to the fund are:
Revenue placed in the Infrastructure Fund shall not supplant existing
infrastructure funding.
General Fund expenditures for infrastructure improvements and
maintenance, subsequent to 2001, shall not be reduced below 15% of
general fund revenues based on a five-year rolling average.
The City Council shall, by ordinance, establish a Citizens Infrastructure
Advisory Board to conduct an annual review and performance audit of the
Infrastructure Fund and report its findings to the City Council prior to
adoption of the following fiscal-year budget.
The single substantial revenue source to the fund is General Fund excess fund
balance per the Financial Policy adopted in Fiscal Year 2006/07. The Policy was
60
2
revised beginning in Fiscal Year 2009/10 to allow for an Economic Uncertainties
Reserve commitment. Excerpts addressing the Infrastructure Fund for the previous
and current policies are shown in Attachment 1 along with Municipal Charter
Section 617.
Fiscal Year Change: In December of 2017, City Council made the decision to
change from a fiscal year of October through September to the more common
July through June. Therefore, fiscal year 2017-18 was a 9-month fiscal year
(October 2017 through June 2018) and is reflected in this report.
Revenue - FY 2017/18:
1. There was a General Fund transfer of $6,521,836 for capital improvements and
equipment replacement in FY 2017/18.
2. The fund was reimbursed $10,294 for traffic signal maintenance at Beachmont
Plaza per a development agreement. In addition, there was a small
reimbursement of $936 for overpayment of funds related to the Atlanta
Avenue Widening project. Total $11,230.
3. Interest and market adjustments are paid in proportion to the citywide
investments and fund balance. For 2017/18 a large market adjustment was
made, which resulted in a negative effect on total revenue of –$28,296. This is
essentially a bookkeeping adjustment and the effect is reversed in the
following fiscal year.
Total Revenue for FY 2017/18 was $6,504,770.

Reimbursements $11,230
Interest and Market Adjustments ($28,296)

funds. Where applicable, project sheets from the FY 17/18 Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) are included as Attachment 2. Total expenditures
for the year were $2,217,734.

There were a number of budget adjustments during the fiscal year. When the
decision to change the fiscal year occurred, the original budget was reduced
$800,000 and some projects were deferred. However, $1,000,000 was
appropriated late in the fiscal year to address funding needs for residential
overlay and other capital improvements. Due to the shortened fiscal year and
the late year appropriations, a total of only $719,845 was spent during the fiscal
year. $2,229,069 of the funds were carried over into FY 18/19.
2. Central Park Improvements (business unit 31440002) – The FY 17/18 revised
budget included $144,749 in encumbrance carry forward, $334,090 in CIP

the fiscal year. Encumbrance carry forwards to FY 18/19 totaled $17,045
and CIP carry to FY 18/19 totaled $314,246.
3. Transfer to Equipment Fund (business unit 31440101) – A total of $721,836

7. Police Facility Improvements (business 31487004) – City Council approved
an end of year appropriation of $2,000,000 to begin work on the upgrade
of the Civic Center Police facilities. These funds were re-budgeted for FY
18/19.
8. Heil Pump Station (business unit 31488001) – The 17/18 budget consisted of
$1,118,263 in CIP carry over funds and $12,703 in carry forward
encumbrances. Total - $1,130,966. Of this amount $65,615 was spent during
the year on consultant and staff time for design efforts. The City received
a Hazard Mitigation Grant of $2,250,000 for construction of the station in
2015. Unfortunately, the project was bid out and bids came much higher
than anticipated. The project is currently on hold as staff attempts to secure
additional grant funds. The balance of $1,065,351 carried over into FY 18/19
includes $33,252 in encumbrance carry forward and $1,032,099 in CIP carry
over.
9. Bella Terra Pedestrian Crossing (business unit 31490001) - The Infrastructure
Fund is being used as a holding account for developer fees and
expenditures related to the proposed Bella Terra Pedestrian Crossing
Project. The FY 2017/18 budget included $263,638 in carry forward funds
designated for construction. However, to date the project has failed to
move forward due to the fact the Public Utilities Commission, which
oversees railroad crossings, is reluctant to allow an at-grade pedestrian
crossing. The funds were not carried over into FY 18/19.

included $363,516 in CIP carry over and carry forward encumbrances of
$86,579. Total - $450,095. During the fiscal year $136,637 was spent on
litigation costs. The ongoing negotiations for the purchase of the property
necessitated that the City pay space rent on the 8 trailers that will need to
be moved in order to continue with the project. These costs totaled $21,551
for total expenditures of $158,189. The City obtained the property in
November 2017 and the ongoing rental costs ceased. $47,450 in
encumbrance carry forward and $273,894 in CIP carry over were moved to
FY 18/19.
12. Arterial Rehabilitation 18/19 (business unit 31490005) – There was a minor
expenditure of $3,147 for design work that was accrued back to FY 17/18.

Deny the Amendment between the City and Sagecrest Planning and Environmental, LLC and direct
staff accordingly.
Analysis:
Applicants who submit projects to the City pay fees for these services and expect reasonable service
levels. When City staff can no longer meet the demands of increased development activity, these
services have historically been supplemented with professional services provided by planning
consultants. This approach is a cost effective method of closing the gap between the demands for
planning services and the ability of City staff to meet this demand.
On November 27, 2017, the City of Huntington Beach approved a three-year, $90,000 contract with
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 4/11/2019Page 1 of 2
powered by Legistar™89
File #:19-349 MEETING DATE:4/15/2019
Sagecrest Planning and Environmental, LLC for Professional Planning Services. On September 4,
2018, that contract was amended for additional compensation of $147,000 for a new total not to
exceed of $237,000 to meet workload demands. Those funds have been fully utilized. Currently,
there is not enough staff to perform the necessary entitlement processing to meet the State
Mandated Permit Streamlining Act. With the fluctuation and current increase in entitlement
processing activity in FY 18/19, the Community Development Department anticipates this increased
activity to continue. Therefore, Sagecrest Planning and Environmental LLC will still be needed to
assist.
In addition, two planners are currently assigned full-time to the ELM system implementation,
including data conversion and testing, to help ensure a successful transition to the new permitting
system later this summer. This professional services contract helps to satisfy the increased demand
for entitlement processing while ensuring that the new ELM permitting system will be sufficiently
tested and refined by City staff for implementation in early FY 19/20.
The Community Development Department is requesting the continuation of as-needed Planning
resources to ensure services continue to be provided in a timely manner. Staff recommends the City
Council approve the amendment with Sagecrest Planning and Environmental, LLC, in the amount of
$289,000, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the documents.
Environmental Status:
The request is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b) (3) of the California Environmental Quality Act.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Enhance and Maintain City Service Delivery

and interchange operations and enhance road safety. OCTA has approached City staff to purchase a
portion of real property (in fee simple interest) and a temporary construction easement over City-
owned real estate designated by Orange County Assessor as Assessor Parcel Number 142-311-34,
north of the intersection of McFadden Avenue and Gothard Street. The area of the portion of City-
owned real property is approximately 697 square feet. The area of the temporary construction
easement is approximately 2,683 square feet.
A purchase price of $102,600.00 has been agreed upon, based upon an appraisal of the property,
with OCTA for the purchase of the portion of City-owned property and the temporary construction
easement. The purchase price is broken down as follows:
Item Price
Land (Fee Simple)$34,850.00
Temporary Construction Easement $48,294.00
Improvements $2,303.00
Incentive Bonus $17,100.00

The Incentive Bonus is being given to the City to expedite approval since construction on the Project
has already commenced. OCTA has also indicated that access to the construction area will be via the
freeway and not through the City-owned parcel. Staff recommends approval of the Contract including
the Incentive Bonus.
OCTA has eminent domain authority to acquire a portion of the parcel.
Environmental Status:
OCTA and Caltrans are the lead agencies on the Project and are responsible for CEQA compliance.

SUBMITTED BY:Fred A. Wilson, City Manager
PREPARED BY:David A. Segura, Fire Chief
Subject:
Adopt Resolution No. 2019-12 to Acknowledge Receipt of a Fire Department Report Regarding
the Annual Inspection of Certain Occupancies
Statement of Issue:
This is a request for the City Council to approve the attached resolution acknowledging receipt of a
report by the Huntington Beach Fire Department regarding the annual inspection of certain
occupancies. This resolution will be submitted to the State of California in compliance with State
Senate Bill 1205.
Financial Impact:
Not applicable.
Recommended Action:

Alternative Action(s):
Do not adopt the attached resolution and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
California Health & Safety Code Sections 13146.2 and 13146.3 require all fire departments that
provide fire protection services to perform annual inspections in every building used as a public or
private school, hotel, motel, lodging house, apartment house and certain residential care facilities.
This is done for compliance with certain building standards. Section 13146.2 of the Code requires
departments to report annually to its governing body on its conformance to these requirements.
State Senate Bill 1205 requires that effective January 1, 2019, the governing body annually adopt a
resolution or other formal document certifying that these inspections were completed and that this
document be submitted to the State.
During calendar year 2018, the Huntington Beach Fire Department completed annual inspections of
all buildings referenced under Sections 13146.2 and 13146.3 of the California Health and Safety
Code. This includes the following:

Subject:
Adopt Resolution No. 2019-17 Establishing Permit Parking District “X” Affecting Residents on
Tucana Drive, Taurus Lane, and a portion of Rook Drive
Statement of Issue:
Residents on Tucana Drive, Taurus Lane, and a portion or Rook Drive have petitioned to establish a
residential permit parking district in Huntington Beach.
Financial Impact:
The provisions of Huntington Beach Municipal Code Chapter 10.42, Permit Parking Districts, requires
that the residents choosing to participate in a residential permit parking district pay a proportionate
share of the cost to establish a district making the district cost neutral to the City. Typical costs to
create a new parking district include installation of signs and curb markings, which are initially funded
in the General Fund Signs and Marking business unit 10085302, and staff time to issue permits and
administrative costs, which are initially funded in the General Fund Transportation Management
business unit 10085301. The total cost for this district is estimated at $1,075 or $51 per address.
Recommended Action:
Adopt Resolution No. 2019-17, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Establishing Permit Parking District “X” Within the City of Huntington Beach.”
Alternative Action(s):
Deny the recommended action.
Analysis:
Residents on Tucana Drive, Taurus Lane, and a portion of Rook Drive submitted a petition requesting
permit parking due to commuter vehicle parking impacts. The neighborhood is located west of
Goldenwest Street south of Warner Avenue and is shown on Attachment 1. The residents expressed
that the commuter vehicle parking prevents the use of on-street parking for themselves and their
guests, contributes to late night noise, and sources of trash left on their yards and in the street. The
residents have requested that the parking restrictions be in place from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. every day,
including holidays. Attachment 2 shows the streets petitioned by the residents to establish permit
parking.
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 4/11/2019Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™145
File #:19-393 MEETING DATE:4/15/2019
Following procedures in Municipal Code Chapter 10.42 (MC 10.42), Permit Parking Districts, staff
reviewed the request, determined the petition and concerns of the residents were valid, and
examined the proposed boundaries. Staff mailed letters to the affected properties explaining the
permit parking district requirements and provided ballots to vote on the permit parking district
proposal. MC 10.42 requires a minimum of 75% of the property units to be in favor of the parking
district to move the request for further consideration. Of the thirty-seven affected properties identified
in the petition, thirty-three of the ballots were completed and returned with twenty-four voting in favor
(65%) of the proposal.
Although the original request did not receive the required 75% supporting the entire area identified in
the petition, after reviewing the voting results, discussion with the residents, and initial field
observations, staff modified the proposed permit parking district streets with concurrence from the
requesting residents. MC 10.42 allows staff discretion to modify the proposed boundaries of a
requested permit parking district area for consideration. Due to insufficient support on Canis Circle
and part of Rook Drive west of Taurus Lane, these areas were not included for permit parking
consideration. Attachment 3 shows the modified area that was evaluated for the proposed permit
parking district which includes Tucana Drive, Taurus Lane, and a portion of Rook Drive to the east.
The affected permit parking addresses shown on Attachment 3 received an 81% vote in favor of
permit parking.
As required by code, staff investigated the parking conditions and associated issues expressed by
the residents. Staff observed that the parking impacts occur at night and on the weekends. These
parking impacts affect the availability of on-street parking for the residents and their guests at night,
morning hours, and on weekends. Other concerns of noise and excessive trash, although not
observed during field visits, was mentioned by several residents as a recurring issue from commuter
vehicle parking. Based on discussions with the requesting residents and field evaluations, staff finds
that the unrestricted parking along the proposed permit parking area regularly interferes with
available on-street parking for the residents and their guests and recommends establishing the
permit parking district. As required by code notices with the date and time of the City Council
meeting were sent to the affected properties and properties within 500 feet of the proposed district
boundaries.
Public Works Commission Action: None required

The project is categorically exempt from CEQA.

Figure 1 shows the petitioned permit parking area on Tucana Drive, Taurus Lane, Canis Circle, and a
portion of Rook Drive. The requested parking restrictions are 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. every day including
holidays. Including the commuter vehicle parking impacts, residents expressed their concerns with
associated issues of late night noise and littering as the reasons for initiating the process to establish
permit parking in their neighborhood.
As required by Municipal Code Chapter 10.42, staff reviewed the request, determined the petition and
concerns of the residents were valid, and considered the proposed amendment area to be reasonable.

Staff prepared and mailed letters to the affected properties explaining the permit parking district
requirements, boundaries, and included ballots for voting on the permit parking district amendment.
Staff followed up with a letter a few weeks later to remind residents to return their ballot.
Per Municipal Code 10.42 a minimum of 75% of the property units (1 vote per unit) shall be in favor of
establishing permit parking to move the request for further consideration. Of the 37 affected
properties, thirty-three (33) ballots were returned with twenty-four (24) votes in favor of permit
parking (65%) and nine (9) votes against permit parking. Table 1 summarizes the overall voting results

and a portion of Rook Drive did not obtain the required 75% support altogether. Howeve r, Tucana
Drive and Taurus Lane, both received the minimum of 75% or greater in support of permit parking.
Conversations with residents on these streets indicated strong interest in permit parking due to the
parking impacts and related disturbances from commuter vehicle parking. Based on the voting results
and discussions with residents, staff reevaluated the proposed parking district area and determined it
154

would be reasonable to investigate establishing permit parking along Tucana Drive and Taurus Lane ,
and properties along the street bend where Taurus Lane changes to Rook Drive . These residents
expressed interest in permit parking in that area. Municipal Code 10.42 allows staff discretion to
modify the proposed boundaries of a requested permit parking district area for consideration. Due to
low support from residents along Canis Circle, the street was not included for permit parking
consideration. Figure 3 shows the modified area that was evaluated for the proposed permit parking
district.

As required by code staff investigated the parking conditions and related issues on the proposed
permit parking streets. The code requires that facts exist that reasonably establish that unrestricted
parking creates a situation in which the subject streets cannot be used for regular parking by residents
or their guests, or creates a situation that commuter vehicles or their occupants produce significant
sources of health, safety, or welfare concerns to continue the process for further consideration. Below

Analysis:
Field reviews of the area showed that parking impacts are present with the most impacted time
occurring nights and on the weekend. This could affect the availability of on-street parking for the
residents and their guests during the late night through early morning hours. In addition to the parking
impacts (Photo 1), the residents voiced concerns about trash left on the street and their front yards,
empty cans and broken bottles thrown on the street (Photo 2), and the recurring late night noise
attributed to the commuter vehicle parking. Staff observations of the area did not witness occurrences
of late night noise or excessive trash discarded on the streets, however, some littering on the sidewalk
and street was seen in the area.
Municipal Code 10.42 requires that specific conditions shall exist for a parking district request to move
forward for consideration to the City Manager’s office. These include: unrestricted parking creates a
situation where on-street parking cannot be regularly used by residents and guests; or, unrestricted
parking by commuter vehicles produces significant sources of health, safety, or welfare concerns . After
discussions with the residents and conducting the field evaluations, staff finds that the unrestricted
parking creates a situation where the commuter parking regularly interferes with residents and their
guests parking, and produces significant sources of other concerns. Staff recommends establishing
permit parking in the designated areas identified in Figure 3 affecting 21 addresses.

PREPARED BY:Kellee Fritzal, Deputy Director of Economic Development
Subject:
Approve the 2019-20 Annual Action Plan for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) Programs
Statement of Issue:
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that the City conduct a
Public Hearing and approve the City’s Annual Action Plan in order to receive entitlement grants from
the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program and HOME Investment Partnership
(HOME) Program. The approved 2019-20 Annual Action Plan must then be submitted to HUD no
later than May 14, 2019.
Financial Impact:
The City is projected to receive $1,155,698 in CDBG funds and $606,864 in HOME funds for the
2019-20 Fiscal Year.
Recommended Action:
A) Approve the 2019-20 Annual Action Plan for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and
HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) Program Funds; and,
B) Direct the Economic Development Committee (EDC) to make final determination if the 2019-20
CDBG and HOME programs HUD grant allocation should increase or decrease from the anticipated
grant allocation; and,
C) Authorize the City Manager to sign any and all applications and necessary documents for Federal
assistance under the CDBG and HOME programs after review by the City Attorney.
Alternative Action(s):
Provide direction to staff to revise the 2019-20 Annual Action Plan.
Analysis:
The City anticipates eligibility to receive CDBG and HOME allocations to fund programs and projects
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 4/11/2019Page 1 of 3

File #:19-418 MEETING DATE:4/15/2019
that meet the Federal eligibility requirements. The Annual Action Plan (AAP) must be approved by
the City each year. It describes the activities and projects that would be funded with CDBG/HOME
program funds for the following year.
The City anticipates approximately $1,155,698 in CDBG funds and $606,864 for the HOME program as its
2019-20 grant allocation to Huntington Beach. The grant allocation amounts may increase or decrease from 0%
to 20% depending on Congressional final approval of the 2019-20 Fiscal Year. If the City receives an allocation
more or less than the anticipated allocation of $1,155,698 in CDBG funds and $606,864 for HOME funds, staff
recommends that the Economic Development Committee (EDC) make the final determination regarding the
increase or decrease of funds to the service providers.
The 2019-20 AAP is the fifth year of implementing its Five-Year Consolidated Plan, as required by HUD, for
receipt of CDBG and HOME entitlement grants. CDBG-funded projects must meet one of the three (3) national
objectives with 70% of funds under the national objective of serving low and moderate-income populations,
and must meet activity eligibility requirements. The three national objectives are:
1) Benefit low and moderate-income persons;
2) Aid in elimination of slums or blight;
3) Meet an urgent need (primarily limited to disaster relief from flooding or national
emergencies, for example).
Funded activities can include public improvements, public services, special code enforcement in designated
eligible areas, economic development activities, or housing rehabilitation programs, among others. If current or
previous year projects are completed under budget in any given year, funding may be applied to existing or
future eligible public improvement projects. Funding for
program administration is limited to 20% of the City's annual CDBG allocation. The administration costs cover
the many complex Federal recordkeeping, monitoring, reporting, and public participation requirements.
Administration funds are also used to provide $30,000 to the Fair Housing Foundation to meet HUD's
requirement to provide fair housing counseling, education and enforcement, and outreach services. The City
also utilizes a portion of its administrative funds for staff and for public noticing and the use of an as-needed
consultant to assist with the Federal software and sub-grantee monitoring.
The Citizens Participation Advisory Board (CPAB) held three (3) public hearings on community needs,
reviewed project proposals, heard applicant presentations, and prepared recommendations for 2019-2020
CDBG funding, as listed below. The recommendations were presented at a Study Session with City Council on
April 15, 2019. The below matrix are the recommendations from the CPAB committee.
The HOME entitlement may only fund the creation and/or preservation of very low-and low-income
housing. The City has been working with nonprofit organizations to successfully provide limited-term tenant
based rental assistance utilizing HOME funds. The City is also working with affordable housing developers to
determine suitable projects for HOME funding. Limited funding (10%) is also available in the HOME
allocation to administer this program. Action related to approval of a project with HOME funds will be brought
to EDC for review and the City Council for approval at a later date.

Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan 1
Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
Huntington Beach’s 2015/16-2019/20 Consolidated Plan constitutes the City's strategy for
addressing its housing and community development needs utilizing federal entitlement funds.
The goals are to assist low and moderate-income persons, provide decent housing, create
suitable living environments, and expand economic opportunities. Included in the Consolidated
Plan are broad five-year objectives and strategies to accomplish these goals. Specific identifiable
benchmarks for measuring progress in realizing th e City’s strategy are proposed in the Annual
Action Plans.
The 2019/20 Annual Action Plan includes application for funds under two different HUD
entitlement programs - Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the HOME Investment
Partnership Program. Current year entitlements combined with reallocations and repayments
from prior years (CDBG Revolving Loan Funds) bring the total estimated funding for program year
2019/20 to almost $3.6 million. The following Annual Action Plan describes resources, programs,
activities and actions Huntington Beach will use in the coming 2019/20 fiscal year to implement
its strategic plan and ultimately achieve its Consolidated Plan goals and objectives, summarized
in Table 1 on the following page.

Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan 3
3. Evaluation of past performance
HUD requires that grantees provide an evaluation of past performance. Since the current year,
2018/19, is still in progress, the City of Huntington Beach will more fully measure performance
outputs and outcomes for CDBG and HOME under the Consolidated Annual Performance
Evaluation Report (CAPER) which captures progress towards meeting five-year goals and
objectives. Nonetheless, below is a synopsis of what has been accomplished to date.
Decent Housing
• In May 2015, the City issued a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) identifying nearly
$2.5 million in available affordable housing funds. The City’s goal was to obtain proposals
for affordable housing projects as well as Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA)
programs. The City identified homeless, those at risk of homelessness, veterans, seniors,
and victims of domestic violence as the population for which the housing programs should
be targeted. The NOFA was available on the City’s website and was disseminated to local
CHDO’s in the area. The City received five (5) proposals: three (3) proposals for affordable
housing projects, and two (2) proposals for TBRA programs.
• In FY 2015/16, the City entered into a subrecipient agreement with a nonprofit agency,
Interval House, to operate a city-wide Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program using
tenant selection policies and criteria. The City gave local preference t o households
impacted by homelessness, persons at risk of homelessness, veterans, seniors, and
victims of domestic violence in Huntington Beach. Through the end of FY 2017/18,
Interval House assisted 57 households with rental assistance. In October 2018, the City
entered into a new two-year contract with Interval House and to date has provided
assistance to three (3) households. The program will continue through FY 2019/20.
• Beginning in October 2016, HOME funding was provided to Mercy House to implement a
second tenant based rental assistance program to very-low and low-income households,
focusing on veterans and seniors. Within two years, Mercy House assisted 30 households
with tenant based rental assistance. Then in October 2018, the City entered into a new
two-year contract with Mercy House to run through the end of FY 2019/20. To date,
Mercy House has provided assistance to 13 households under the new contract.
• A third tenant based rental assistance program was implemented in partnership with
Families Forward in October 2018. The non-profit organization provides short and
medium-term rental assistance, case management, housing navigation, and supportive
services to eligible households. To date, Families Forward has assisted 7 households. The
173
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan 4
program will continue in FY 2019/20.
• The Residential Rehabilitation Program consists of a grant and loan program. First, the
Owner-Occupied Single-Family, Condo, and Mobile Home Grant Program Home
Improvement Program offers a one-time grant not to exceed $10,000 to low-income
homeowners for deferred maintenance and health and safety-related household repairs.
The City’s Owner-Occupied Single-Family Rehabilitation Loan Program, in comparison,
offers low-income homeowners up to $75,000 in deferred payment loans. Both programs
are intended to assist low-income homeowners to make much needed repairs to keep
their property safe and livable. The 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan goal is to fund 75
grants/loans over the five-year period. A total of 31 loans have funded by the end of FY
2017/18. The program will continue into FY 2019/20.
• In October 2016, the City approved a Substantial Amendment to the FY 2016/17 Annual
Action Plan to provide $781,220 in HOME funds for an acquisition and rehabilitation
project located at 7792 Barton Drive. The property, now owned by the Orange County
Community Housing Corporation, consists of four rental units, two of which will
eventually be rented to two (2) very low- and two (2) low-income eligible households.
Project was completed in FY 2017/18.
• In December 2016, the City completed an affordable housing project comprised of nine
units at 313 11th Street, Huntington Beach, also known as Project Self -Sufficiency (PSS)
House. Rehabilitation included new exterior stucco, roof, sewer, plumbing, electrical, and
several window and door replacements. The units will be income and rent restricted for
55-years.
Suitable Living Environment
• The City’s Special Code Enforcement program continues to accomplish their goal of
assisting 600 housing units each year in CDBG-eligible areas.
• The City has assisted various public service agencies. While the number of public service
programs assisted with CDBG funds has been reduced due to of decreased CDBG
entitlement funds, the City continues to work towards its goals in providing quality and
effective services to youth, homeless, seniors, the disabled, and illiterate adults, as well
as fair housing services funded through Administrative costs, to the Huntington Beach
community.
174
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan 5
• The City had a goal to assist 400 persons through the provision of public facility
improvements. To that end, in 2015/16, the City funded the Oak View Class and
Counseling Space Project which intended to provide additional classroom space for the
afterschool recreation program operated at the Oak View Family Resource Center by
Children’s Bureau and the Boys and Girls Club of Gre ater Huntington Valley. Space was
limited at this location and the additional classroom, office and meeting space was
needed to accommodate various enrichment programs at the facility due to increased
demand for services. The project scope of work was amended in FY 2016/17 to simply
reconfigure the Family Resource Center, rather than providing additional space. The
newly reconfigured space was completed in FY 2016/17 and eliminated the need for the
remainder of the work.
• City-funded infrastructure improvements included ADA improvements to Public Works
Maintenance Zone 12 in FY 2015/16, Maintenance Zone 10 in FY 2016/17, and
Maintenance Zone 1 in FY 2017/18. The City also awarded $500,000 in CDBG Revolving
Loan Funds to various curb cuts citywide in FY 2017/18. The City has already reached its
Consolidated Plan goal of assisting 1,224 persons in this category, but will nonetheless,
continue to fund infrastructure improvements in FY 2019/20.
• CDBG RLF funds in the amount of $600,000 were authorized in 2017/18 for the
Huntington Beach Youth Shelter Roof, Structural, and ADA Improvements. The Youth
Shelter project will benefit homeless youth which seek shelter and assistance through this
facility. The project is currently underway.
• In FY 2018/19, via substantial amendment, the City allocated $223,607 in CDBG funds
towards the Huntington Beach Navigation Center located at 15311 Pipeline Lane,
Huntington Beach. The project included acquisition and tenant improvements of a public
facility to be used as a 90-bed homeless shelter with case management services.
Economic Opportunity
• During 2015/16, City staff worked closely with two grassroots groups established in the
Oak View community, one of the most impacted areas of the City, and one in which many
resources have been concentrated in recent years. These efforts included increased
outreach to property owners and residents of the area and expansion of the number of
materials provided in Spanish. These efforts resulted in a bilingual Code Enforcement
officer being specifically hired to serve the Oak View community. Staff has continued to
connect the Fair Housing Foundation to the Oak View community, and they are now non-
voting partners of the Oak View Collaborative, which will give them increased access to
the clientele in need being served out of the Oak View Family Resource Center.
175
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan 6
• While not funded with federal CDBG funds, the City in 2014, prepared a comprehensive
Economic Development Strategy. The purpose of the Strategy was to identify the highest
priority economic development objectives in Huntington Beach, and to set goals, policies
and recommended actions for short term (0-2 years), mid-term (3-5 years), and long-term
economic decisions.
4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process
The City developed its 2019/20 Annual Action Plan through extensive consultation and
coordination with housing, social service and healthcare providers; public agencies; and the local
public housing agency as presented below. As a means of gaining input from the public, the City
conducted public hearings and invited comments on the draft Action Plan.
The City followed its Citizen Participation Plan and HUD’s guidelines for citizen and community
involvement in preparation of the Action Plan to encourage citizen participation in the
preparation of the documents.
A draft of the 2019/20 Annual Action Plan will be made available for public comment for the
minimum 30-day period (March 14 – April 15, 2019). A City Council public hearing will be held
on April 15, 2019, providing residents and interested parties a final opportunity to comment on
the Consolidated Plan prior to adoption and submittal to HUD.
5. Summary of public comments
See Huntington Beach Citizen Participation Comments in Appendix.
6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them
The City of Huntington Beach responded to all relevant comments.
7. Summary
The City took numerous steps, including public noticing, advertising and holding public meetings,
to ensure citizen participation in the development of the 2019/20 Action Plan. The Action Plan
addresses key findings of the Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment, including:
• Housing overpayment is the most prevalent housing problem, with 80% of Huntington
Beach's low and moderate income (<80% AMI) renter households facing a cost burden
(>30% of income on housing costs), and 45% facing a severe cost burden (>50% of income
towards housing). Consultation with housing, homeless and public service providers
176
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan 7
identify the shortage of affordable rental housing as the most significant issue facing
Huntington Beach's extremely low, low and moderate-income residents.
• Household overcrowding is a far less significant problem than overpayment in Huntington
Beach, and has decreased from 13% of all renters in 2000 to just 5% a decade later (as
documented by the 2007-2011 ACS1). However, certain neighborhoods continue to
experience high levels of overcrowding.
• Many of the workers who make up Huntington Beach's workforce earn modest incomes ,
making it challenging to afford to in live in the City where they work. The analysis of rental
housing costs and affordability illustrates that households earning extremely low, low and
moderate incomes cannot afford average market rents in Huntington Beach. Local
occupations priced out of the rental market include: bookkeepers, bus drivers, preschool
teachers, retail sales managers, and food service managers.
• For homeless persons or persons at-risk of becoming homeless, the most significant
problem is the lack of affordable rental housing. This problem has been compounded by
record high rents combined with decreases in public funding previously used to support
affordable housing. Surveys of homeless service providers in Huntington Beach identify
additional affordable housing as the top priority need, followed by the need for additional
substance abuse services, and additional tenant rental assistance.
• The City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) presents a comprehensive listing of
planned and projected capital project needs based on various long-range plans, goals, and
policies. The 2018/19-2022/23 CIP identifies the following general projects (within low
and moderate-income areas) in need of CDBG funds over the next five years:
✓ Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements; and
✓ Sidewalk, curb and gutter improvements, including accessibility ramp s.
1 The American Community Survey (ACS), performed by the U.S. Census Bureau, is an ongoing Census statistical
survey that samples a small percentage of the population every year, and publishes five year averages of this data.
Many of the tables in the Consolidated Plan are "pre-populated" by HUD with data from the 2007-2011 ACS, and
thus the City has utilized the 2007-2011 ACS as the primary data source throughout the Plan.

AP-10 Consultation - 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)
1. Introduction
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and
service agencies (91.215(I)).
The City developed its five-year (2015/16 - 2019/20) Consolidated Plan through consultation with
the Orange County Housing Authority; City departmen ts; health and social service providers; and
adjacent local governments. As a means of gaining input from housing, homeless and social
service providers active in Huntington Beach, the City provided agencies a brief survey requesting
input on services provided, priority needs and gaps in services. A total of twelve (12) agencies
representing special needs populations, and an additional seven (7) housing and homeless
service agencies completed the needs survey, providing direct input into the Consolidated Plan
Needs Assessment. The detailed results of these agency surveys are provided in the Consolidated
Plan’s Appendix C.
The City formed a Homeless Task Force which met for a nine-month period and has created a list
of recommendations to deal with the homeless problems in the community. In addition, with the
use of CDBG funds, the City employs one part-time Homeless Coordinator and three part-time
Homeless Case Managers who coordinate services provided to the Homeless. The Coordinator
oversees a collaborative comprised of local homeless service providers and faith-based
organizations who conduct monthly meetings with the purpose of coordinating efforts and
sharing information to most effectively address the issue of homelessness in Huntington Beach.
The Coordinator and Case Managers are joined by two Huntington Beach Police Homeless Liaison
Officers, which make up the City’s Homeless Task Force. In 2019/20, this team will include four
part-time Homeless Case Managers to further increase the level of service to the homeless
population.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness
The City of Huntington Beach, through its Homeless Outreach Case Manager, participates in the
Orange County Continuum of Care, led and coordinated by 2-1-1 Orange County and the OC
Community Services. This public-nonprofit partnership helps ensure comprehensive and regional
coordination of efforts and resources to reduce the number of homeless and persons at risk of
179
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan
10
homelessness throughout Orange County. This group serves as the regional convener of the year-
round CoC planning process and as a catalyst for the involvement of the public and private
agencies that make-up the regional homeless system of care.
The Orange County Continuum of Care system consists of six basic components:
1. Advocacy on behalf of those who are homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless.
2. A system of outreach, assessment, and prevention for determining the needs and conditions
of an individual or family who is homeless.
3. Emergency shelters with appropriate supportive services to help ensure that homeless
individuals and families receive adequate emergency shelter and referrals.
4. Transitional housing to help homeless individuals and families who are not prepared to make
the transition to permanent housing and independent living.
5. Permanent housing, or permanent supportive housing, to help meet the long term needs of
homeless individuals and families.
6. Reducing chronic homelessness in Orange County and addressing the needs of homeless
families and individuals using motels to meet their housing needs.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate
outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS
The City of Huntington Beach does not receive ESG funds so this is not applicable.

1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation
The City followed HUD’s guidelines for citizen and community involvement in preparation of th is
Annual Action Plan. To encourage citizen participation in the preparation of the documents, the
City undertook several activities as summarized below.
Housing and Community Development Needs Survey
In order to evaluate public opinion of specific housing and community development needs for
the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan, the City utilized a Needs Survey (in English and Spanish) in
which the respondent was asked to rank the level of need for a particular service, capital
improvement, and public benefit. Questions about specific needs were grouped into these areas:
• Housing Needs;
• Homeless Needs;
• Public Service Needs;
• Infrastructure Needs; and
• Economic Development Needs.
Agency Surveys: Special Needs Service Providers, Housing & Homeless Service Providers
A variety of Agencies providing services to Huntington Beach's low and moderate-income
households, special needs populations, and homeless were provided a brief survey requesting
input on priority needs and gaps in the services provided. A total of nineteen Agencies completed
the survey. The tabulated results of these surveys are included in the Consolidated Plan
Appendix.
Community Meetings
For development of the Consolidated Plan, the Citizen Participation Advisory Board (CPAB)
conducted a public hearing on community needs on January 15, 2015 at Huntington Beach City
Hall, and a second public hearing on community needs and the Consolidated Plan on February 5,
2015. The meeting was conducted at the Oakview Library, with a total of 25 persons providing
public comment on priority needs in the community. The following agencies/programs were
represented: Family Literacy Program, Oakview Children's Bureau/Boys and Girls Club
Afterschool Program, Project Self-Sufficiency, and Huntington Beach Senior Services/Care
Management. The comments received are summarized in the Consolidated Plan Appendix.

FY 2019/20 Annual Action Plan
The City of Huntington Beach has a Citizen Participation Plan to guide the City's CDBG citizen
participation process. All citizens are encouraged to participate in the planning, development,
and implementation of the Annual Action Plan. The City holds advertised public hearings each
year to gather input on community needs as part of the development of the Annual Action Plan
and to advise on the progress of existing subrecipients. In all cases, a Notice of Public Hearing is
published at least 15 days prior to the hearing to provide residents with adequate notice.
A draft 2019/20 Annual Action Plan was made available for public comment for a 30-day period
beginning March 14, 2019 through April 15, 2019. Public hearings were held on October 4, 2018,
November 1, 2018 and December 6, 2018 to ascertain community needs, and a final public
hearing will be held on April 15, 2019, providing residents and interested parties a final
opportunity to comment on the Annual Action Plan prior to adoption and submittal to HUD.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local
funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
Federal funds play a crucial role in implementing the Consolidated Plan. Local private and non-
federal funds are usually insufficient to meet the heavy demand for housing and services in our
community. Agencies receiving CDBG and HOME funds use those funds as a commitment to
receiving other funding sources.
Likewise, the City also leverages other resources among the formula grant programs. For
example, the HOME program is matched by a variety of sources, including private and public
investment including the use of low-income housing tax credits. Other future sources of matching
funds include inclusionary housing in-lieu fees; residual receipts from loans of the former
Redevelopment Agency; and a State SERAF loan repayment of former Redevelopment Low/Mod
Housing Funds (one-time payment).
HUD requires a 25% match on HOME funds drawn down for affordable housing. Historically, the
City has met the match requirement with the use of former Huntington Beach redevelopment tax
increment funds that were layered with HOME funds in developing afforda ble housing. While
redevelopment tax increment funds are no longer available for future match requirements, the
City has been utilizing a match surplus derived from prior contributions by the former Huntington
Beach Redevelopment Agency in developing affordable housing developments. The City was
required to utilize 20% of these funds to develop low- and moderate- income housing. The City's
match surplus is approximately $2,879,803.
If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that
may be used to address the needs identified in the plan

of 20%, or $231,139, for CDBG administration activities. The City has allocated $201,139 for CDBG
Administration and $30,000 to the Fair Housing Foundation, for a total of $231,139, the
maximum allowed. Lastly, a maximum of 10%, or $60,686, in HOME administration activities is
allowed to be allocated in FY 2019/20. The City has allocated this amount for the HOME Program

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved
needs
The Housing and Homeless Needs Assessment of the Consolidated Plan discusses housing need
by income category. Income levels identified are 1) extremely low-income; 2) very low-income,
and; 3) low- and moderate-income households. Based on HUD recommendations, general
relative priorities for funding will be as follows:
HIGH PRIORITY: Activities to address this need will be funded during the five-year period.
MEDIUM PRIORITY: If funds are available, activities to address this need may be funded by the
City during the five-year period. The City may also use other sources of funds and take actions to
locate other sources of funds.
LOW PRIORITY: It is not likely the City will fund activities to address this need during the five-year
period.
199
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan
30
The highest priority has been assigned to the needs of the lowest income residents, based on the
assumption that in this high cost real estate market, they are at greater risk of displacement,
homelessness or other serious housing situations due to limited financial resources and other
limitations they may face.
The Consolidated Plan identifies several obstacles in meeting underserved needs, including the
high and sustained demand for public services, as well as the shortage of funding to address the
community's needs.

AP-50 Geographic Distribution – 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low -income and
minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
Huntington Beach is an urbanized coastal community located in northwestern Orange County,
California. Much of the City’s residentially designated land has already been developed. Future
residential development rests primarily upon the recycling of existing parcels and infill
development. Surrounding Huntington Beach are the cities of Seal Beach to the northw est,
Westminster to the northeast, Fountain Valley and Costa Mesa to the east, Newport Beach to
the southeast, and the Pacific Ocean to the southwest.
The City utilizes CDBG and HOME funds for projects and programs operated citywide. However,
the majority of CDBG-funded infrastructure and facility projects are targeted to the most-needy
neighborhoods: those census tracts where 47.83% or more of the residents are low- or moderate-
income.
Specifically, for Special Code Enforcement activities, the City has identified deteriorated areas
based on observed violations of the Uniform Housing Code. This effort was undertaken to
determine geographical areas meeting the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) guidelines to utilize Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding for special code
enforcement and preservation activities in deteriorating areas. From this survey, staff identified
four geographical areas that met the criteria for a deteriorating area, as well as meeting the CDBG
national objective of serving low and moderate-income households:
• Bolsa Chica – Heil
• East – Central
• South – Central
• Southeast
These four areas of concentrated deteriorated housing have been designated as Special CDBG
Code Enforcement areas and have become the focus of increased code enforcement and
neighborhood preservation efforts to improve the quality of life and condition of housing . With
the release of HUDs updated 2014 Low and Moderate-Income Summary Data, however, several
of the census block groups within the four Special CDBG Code Enforcement areas no longer
qualify as low and moderate income (minimum 47.83% low/mod households). Thus, the City will
no longer utilize CDBG funds for code enforcement in the areas that do not qualify.

have been identified as deteriorated based on the observance of violations of the Uniform
Housing Code. These areas include Bolsa Chica-Heil; East-Central; South-Central; and Southeast.
Public facility and public infrastructure projects will be targeted to neighborhoods where 47.83%

of domestic violence. The City will allocate $187,078 in 2019/20 HOME funds to this effort. The
contract with Interval House will expire on June 30, 2020.
The City will also contract with Families First to provide an additional Tenant Based Rental
Assistance Program for 15 households in FY 2019/20. Families First is a non-profit organization
committed to helping families in need achieve and maintain self -sufficiency through housing,
food, counseling, and other support services. The program will run through June 30, 2020 with
an allocation of $250,000 in HOME for FY 2018/19 and $271,500 in FY 2019/20.
A third contract for the administration of a Tenant Based Rental Assistance program will be
entered with Mercy House. Mercy House will be allocated $302,500 in HOME funds in FY
2019/20. The City projects 24 households will be assisted in FY 2019/20.
Also, the City proposes to allocate $700,000 in HOME funds to support a joint effort with the local
CHDO – American Family Housing (AFH), the City of Westminster, and the County of Orange, to
construct approximately 13 single resident occupancy (SRO) units at 15161 Jackson Street,

units. The project, dubbed “The Navigation Center” will be used as transitional housing for
Huntington Beach and Westminster homeless residents. American Family Housing will provide
wrap around case management and homeless services to The Navigation Center tenants.
Lastly, the City will use CDBG Revolving Loan Funds to continue the City’s Residential
Rehabilitation Grant and Loan Programs with a goal of assisting 15 homeowners total.

AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
The City of Huntington Beach does not have any public housing developments. However,
Huntington Beach is one of a number of cities that benefits from the services of the Orange
County Housing Authority (OCHA), which is currently managing over 1,000 Housing Choice
Vouchers for residential units within Huntington Beach (February 2015); 58 of these were
Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing Vouchers, 15 were Family Unification Vouchers, and 45 were
Shelter Plus Care vouchers for formerly homeless disabled households. Elderly households
comprise 43% of the City’s Section 8 recipients (434 households), indicative of several large senior
housing complexes with significant numbers of Section 8 tenants. The City also has a high
proportion of disabled households receiving Section 8 (over 400 households), although many of
these households are also likely to be seniors.
OCHA last opened its Housing Choice Voucher waiting list in February 2012, during which it
received 48,298 applications for assistance. Of the total applicants, 24,756 were living within
Orange County, 3,262 were working in the County but living elsewhere, and 20,280 were living
and working outside the County. Waiting list statistics highlight both the tremendous need for
affordable housing in Huntington Beach, and the need to assist a variety of family needs from
differing demographics. The data indicates the need to serve special needs populations that are
disabled and/or homeless, as well as the growing need to serve the expanding senior citizen
population.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i)
Introduction
Throughout the country and the Los Angeles and Orange County region, homelessness has
become an increasing challenge. Factors contributing to the rise in homelessness include a lack
of housing affordable to low- and moderate-income persons, increases in people living below
poverty levels, reductions in subsidies to the poor, drug/alcohol abuse, and de-
institutionalization of the mentally ill. As described in greater detail in Section MA-30 Homeless
Facilities and Services in the Consolidated Plan, the City of Huntington Beach has been actively
engaged in numerous activities to decrease homelessness and provide effective and efficient
support to local non-profits that provide services to this population. In March 2015, the City
Council authorized formation of a Homeless Task Force Subcommittee to coordinate homeless
and housing efforts and provide City support and guidance regarding services. The Task Force is
keeping the City Council apprised of issues and services and makes recommendations as needed.
In addition, the Office of Business Development and the Huntington Beach Police Department
utilized CDBG public service funds for one part-time Homeless Coordinator and up to four part-
time Homeless Case Mangers to serve as the City's point persons for homeless issues. Funding
will continue in 2019/20.
Once every two years, Orange County undertakes an effort to enumerate all of the sheltered and
unsheltered homeless people within the county in a given twenty‐four-hour period. This effort,
known as the Homeless Point‐in‐Time (PIT) Count, is congressionally mandated for all
communities that receive U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding
for homeless programs. The most recent PIT in Orange County was held on a single night in
January 2019 with the assistance of many homeless service providers.
The January 2019 PIT counts are not available yet, however the January 2017 PIT count
enumerated 4,792 homeless individuals in Orange County, reflecting an almost eight percent
increase from the 2015 count of 4,251, and an almost 13 percent increase from the 2013 count
of 4,251 homeless persons. Of the 4,792 homeless persons counted in 2017, 54% are unsheltered
(2,584) and 46% are sheltered (2,206).
The Orange County Point in Time Count does not provide specific information by jurisdiction.
However, the 2014 Homeless Conditions Report and Recommendations commissioned by the
City of Huntington Beach (prepared by City Net) estimates 283 homeless individuals within the
City. This figure generally correlates with the Huntington Beach Police Department estimates of
200 unsheltered homeless at any given time in the City because Police Officers would likely be

referring to unsheltered homeless individuals, which are more readily visible and identifiable as
homeless.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
The City of Huntington Beach is committed to addressing homelessness. In March 2014, the City
Council conducted a study session on homelessness in the community, including a presentation
by the Executive Director of the Orange County Commission to End Homelessness and the City's
Police Chief. Subsequently, the City contracted with City Net, a collaborative organization, to
conduct research on the scope and scale of the homeless issues in Huntington Beach, provide an
asset map of homeless services and resources, and deliver recommendations about how to
strategically leverage existing assets and resources in the community to address the problem.
City Net’s findings and recommendations are summarized below:
1. The City possesses an abundance of non-profit organizations, faith congregations, local
businesses, and community groups that are eager for collaborative solutions to ending
homelessness in Huntington Beach.
2. The groups listed above are decentralized both structurally and geographically.
3. The City should invest in coordinating these resources without aggregating them or
investing in heavy infrastructure.
4. A proactive connection should be established between the non-profit and faith
communities to City safety personnel and other first responders.
5. The City should invest in a multi-sector collective impact collaborative which would meet
regularly to achieve goals over the course of 12-months.
Prior to publication of the City Net Homeless Conditions Report, a former Huntington Beach
Mayor coordinated the "Huntington Beach Homeless Collaborative" comprised of various
homeless service providers and faith-based organizations. The Collaborative conducts monthly
meetings at the Central Library with the purpose of: gathering resource information useful in
dealing with the homeless issue; developing an information and referral system for collaborative
members; establishing partnerships with the City; and coordinating activities between homeless
service providers. City staff from the Police Department, Community Services, and the City
Manager’s Office/Office of Business Development attend these meetings.

The City's Police Department recently engaged the services of the Coast to Coast Foundation, a
non-profit Police Officer Liaison Program (POLP) designed to eliminate resource barriers and
support law enforcement homelessness teams. Coast to Coast partners with police departments
throughout Orange County, providing a model that balances enforcement with outreach.
Resources include: Homeless Liaison Officer (HLO) kits for daily patrol, 24/7 locker locations kits,
homeless relocation, trained outreach team, community campaign/education and
empowerment in support of law enforcement. The City's Police Department and Coast to Coast
have created a volunteer program specifically designed to the needs of Huntington Beach. The
volunteers engage in monthly outreach efforts to the homeless and have experienced great
success.
On March 16, 2015, the City Council authorized the creation and establishment of a seven -
member Homeless Task Force to make recommendations to the City Council regarding programs
and services for the homeless. Subsequently, the Task Force created six Homeless Task Force
Sub-Committees on the following topics: Police; Housing; Coordination of Services & Economic
Self-Sufficiency; and Health Services. The Task Force is coordinated by the Office of Business
Development with assistance from the Police Department, and the Homeless Outreach
Coordinator. On March 22, 2016, the Task Force presented 22 recommendations to the City
Council.
Since the establishment of the Homeless Task Force, many accomplishments have been made to
date: Presentations from a variety of homeless organizations including Beach Cities Interfaith
Services, OC Health Care Agency, Share Ourselves, the Illumination Foundation, Fresh Beginnings,
and the Pasadena and Orange Police Departments; and Creation of six homeless sub-committees
who have provided the Task Force with many recommendations to address safety, housing,
services, economic self-sufficiency, and health services.
The City Council established a City Council Homeless Task Force Subcommittee, consisting of
three (3) City Councilmembers, to monitor the implementation of recommendations made by
the Homeless Task Force in 2016.
The Office of Business Development and the Police Department have been granted continued
CDBG public service funds for FY 2019/20 to fund the current part-time Homeless Coordinator
position to serve as the City's point person for homeless issues, as well as four part-time case
manager/social worker. The Homeless Coordinator acts as liaison with the Police Department,
non-profit organizations and for-profit groups such as mental health centers, hospitals, churches,
shelters, addiction centers and rehabilitation programs. The Coordinator will assist the Police
Department in locating shelter beds for the homeless and rehabilitation (detox) beds fo r those
229
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan
60
in need of assistance and provide wrap-around services for homeless clientele. In addition, both
the coordinator and the case manager/social worker help to coordinate City services regarding
homeless encampments and public information.
Lastly, beginning in FY 2018/19 and continuing into 2019/20, the City will be funding the StandUp
for Kids Street Outreach Program where volunteer staff scout streets of Huntington Beach
searching for youth who are currently unsheltered or unstably housed. StandUp for Kids serves
teens and youth (ages 12 - 24) who are homeless, at-risk, aging-out of foster care, or runaways
to equip them with the tools they need to transition from life on the street to a life of stability
and opportunity. The Street Outreach program provides basic services (food, clothing, hygiene
items, and survival kits) as well as medical assistance and compassionate mentoring.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City has and will continue to address the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs
of homeless and homeless families through support of homeless programs such as the
Huntington Beach Youth Emergency Shelter, Interval House, Families Forward, and Mercy House.
Through the City's Homeless Task Force, the City will also support the provision of emergency
housing and services by Beach Cities Interfaith Services and the local faith-based community. The
City has also created a Homeless Outreach Coordinator and a Homeless Case Manger position
who are responsible for creating relationships with the homeless and to provide services with an
eye toward bringing their homelessness to an end.
Another way the City is addressing the transitional housing needs of homeless persons is through
the proposed project at 15161 Jackson Street in Midway City, “The Navigation Center.” The
property is owned by the local CHDO, American Family Housing (AFH). The City of Huntington
Beach is working with AFH, the City of Westminster, and the County of Orange to construct single
family occupancy units to be used as transitional housing for homeless households. The SRO units
will be located on the second floor of the property. American Family Housing proposes to provide
wrap around homeless services to the tenants of The Navigation Center.
Finally, the City, via substantial amendment to the FY 2018/19 Annual Action Plan, allocated
$223,607 in CDBG funds to assist with the acquisition and tenant improvements of a public facility
located at 15311 Pipeline Lane, Huntington Beach. The public facility is to be used as an
emergency homeless shelter called the Huntington Beach Navigation Center. It will contain 90-
beds with concurrent case management to assist clients in navigating public, private, and non-
profit organizations that serve this demographic. In addition to clean beds and case management,
the Navigation Service Center will provide meals, showers, storage, and laundry facilities.
230
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan
61
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families wh o were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
In an ongoing effort to continue to address the needs of the homeless and those at risk of
homelessness, the City will focus on the development of sustainable and effective programming,
including: applying for short and long-term available funding; partnerships with experienced
service providers capable of leveraging other funding; the ability to create or secure affordable
housing; perform homeless case management; and engage the homeless through a stre et
outreach component in order to better connect them to available services. The City’s goal is to
expand on current homeless programs and activities with a greater emphasis on homeless
veterans and families to assist with their successful transition toward self-sufficiency.
In FY 2015/16, the also City entered into a subrecipient agreement with a nonprofit agency,
Interval House, to operate a city-wide Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program using tenant
selection policies and criteria. The City gave local preference to households impacted by
homelessness, persons at risk of homelessness, veterans, seniors, and victims of domestic
violence in Huntington Beach. The program has, to date, provided rental assistance to 63
households and with continued funding into FY 2019/20, proposes to assist an additional 22
families.
The City has also partnered with Mercy House to implement a second Tenant Based Rental
Assistance program targeting low and very-low income seniors, veterans, and homeless. The
program has provided assistance to 43 households to date. In FY 2019/20, Mercy House proposes
to assist an additional 24 households with tenant based rental assistance.
Finally, as part of an amendment to the FY 2018/19 Annual Action Plan, the City entered into a
third two-year contract with Families Forward to provide 15 households in FY 2018/19 and
another 15 households in FY 2019/20 with tenant based rental assistance.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: 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); or, receiving
231
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan
62
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education, or youth needs.
To help prevent homelessness and protect at-risk populations, Huntington Beach will continue
to participate in the Orange County Continuum of Care System to provide assistance to persons
at risk of becoming homeless. In addition, the City continues to pursue opportunities to expand
its affordable housing inventory to benefit primarily low-income renters.
The City does not receive Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG) or Housing Opportunities for Persons
with AIDS (HOPWA) funding and therefore is not required to develop a discharge coordination
policy. However, the City will continue to address a discharge coordination policy with the Orange
County Housing Authority and the Continuum of Care Homeless Issues Task Force.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction
Huntington Beach has a strong history of supporting affordable housing. The City has adopted
numerous provisions in its Zoning Ordinance that facilitate a range of residential development
types and encourage affordable housing. In addition, t he City and its former Redevelopment
Agency have provided direct financial assistance to support affordable and mixed income housing
projects. The loss of Redevelopment Housing Funds, which previously generated approximately
$3 million per year for housing activities, will dampen the level of future affordable housing
production in the City.
In addition to funding constraints, the primary barrier to the provision of affordable housing in
Huntington Beach is the lack of vacant land suitable for residential development. Separate
owners of smaller parcels hold much of the underdeveloped and residentially zoned land in the
City. This calls for alternative policy tools such as lot consolidation and/or demolition of existing
older structures to accommodate higher density infill development. Through adoption of the
Downtown and Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plans, the City has provided opportunities
for high density mixed use and residential infill.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as
barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment
Through the administration of the CDBG and HOME programs, every effort is made to remove
barriers to affordable housing through agreements with for-profit and non-profit affordable
housing developers. These efforts also include working with neighborhood residents to ensure
affordable housing projects are acceptable. Ongoing monitoring of “for sale” affordable units is
conducted by department staff by assuring that the affordable housing covenants are recorded
on title when the unit is sold. To address the decline in sources of housing funds, the City will
continue to advocate for and pursue federal, state, local and private funding sources for
affordable housing.
Additionally, as part of the City’s Housing Element update, the City must assess and to the extent
feasible, mitigate, its governmental constraints to housing for lower and moderate-income
households and persons with disabilities. The Housing Element addresses the City’s provisions
for affordable housing, emergency shelters, transitional housing, and supportive housing. The
233
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan
64
following programs in the City's 2013-2021 Housing Element specifically address the variety of
regulatory and financial tools used by the City to remove barriers and facilitate the provision of
affordable housing:
Program 2. Multi-family Acquisition/Rehabilitation through Non-Profit Developers
Objective: Acquire, rehabilitate, and establish affordability covenants on 80 rental units.
Program 7. Residential and Mixed-Use Sites Inventory
Objective: Maintain current inventory of vacant and underutilized development sites, and
provide to developers along with information on incentives.
Program 8. Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan
Objective: Facilitate development through flexible, form based standards, and streamlined
processing. Encourage affordable housing by requiring inclusionary units to be provided
on-site, or within the Specific Plan, and providing additional incentives for increased
percentages of affordable units.
Program 10. Inclusionary Program and Housing Trust Fund
Objective: Continue implementation and re-evaluate Ordinance to provide consistency
with case law and market conditions. Establish in-lieu fee amount for projects between
10-30 units.
Program 11. Affordable Housing Development Assistance
Objective: Provide financial and regulatory assistance in support of affordable housing.
Provide information on incentives to development community.
Program 13. Affordable Housing Density Bonus
Objective: Continue to offer density bonus incentives as a means of enhancing the
economic feasibility of affordable housing development.
Program 14. Development Fee Assistance
Objective: Continue to offer fee reductions to incentivize affordable housing. Specify the
waiver of 100% of application processing fees in the Code for projects with 10% extremely
low-income units.
Program 15. Residential Processing Procedures
234
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan

Objective: Provide non-discretionary development review within the Beach and Edinger
Corridors Specific Plan. Adopt streamlined review procedures for multi-family
development on a Citywide basis.

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
The City of Huntington Beach has identified long-range strategies, activities and funding sources
to implement the goals in the areas of housing and community development services for the
benefit of the residents.
• The City will continue to seek other resources and funding sources to address the biggest
obstacle to meeting the community's underserved needs, which is the lack of funding
and/or inadequate funding.
• The City will look for innovative and creative ways to make its delivery systems more
comprehensive and will continue existing partnerships with both for-profit and not-for-
profit organizations.
• The City will use HOME and CDBG funds to concentrate on both affordable rental housing,
tenant-based rental housing, and homeowner rehabilitation programs.
• The City is currently addressing certain housing needs with federal funds such as
availability, condition, and fair housing practices to prevent homelessness.
• The City is also addressing community development needs with federal funds such as
infrastructure, improving public facilities and code enforcement.
• The City is working with surrounding jurisdictions on a regional approach to meeting the
underserved needs.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
The City’s Consolidated Plan has identified the preservation of existing, and the creation of new,
affordable housing as a priority need during the 2015/16 – 2019/20 timeframe.
In May 2015, the City issued a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) identif ying nearly $2.5 million
in available affordable housing funds. The City’s goal was to obtain proposals for affordable
housing projects as well as a proposed Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) program. The City
identified homeless, those at risk of homelessness, veterans, seniors, and victims of domestic
violence as the population for which the housing programs should be targeted. The NOFA was
available on the City’s website and was disseminated to local CHDO’s in the area. The City
received five (5) proposals: three (3) proposals for affordable housing projects, and two (2)
proposals for TBRA programs. Because the May 2015 NOFA proved unsuccessful in negotiating
the development of an affordable housing project, the City issued a new NOFA, after which it
236
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan
67
opted to work with the local CHDO, Orange County Community Housing Corporation (OCCHC) to
develop a rental four-plex located at 7792 Barton Drive in Huntington Beach. The project was
awarded $781,220 in HOME funding in October 2016 via substantial amendment to the FY
2016/17 Annual Action Plan. The project is complete.
In response to the solicitation for a tenant based rental assistance program provider, Interval
House was selected to administer such a program in September 2015. Interval House was chosen
because of its extensive experience in providing services to households impacted by domestic
violence, and because it already works closely with the City’s Police Department in providing
housing for eligible households. Additionally, Interval House implemented the City’s
Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing (HPRP) program, a similar federal funding
program that provided assistance to homeless and at at-risk persons to alleviate homelessness
and provide rapid re-housing. During FY 2019/20, the City will continue to work with Interval
House to provide tenant-based rental assistance to an additional 22 households. The program
will continue to target homeless, persons at risk of homelessness, veterans, seniors, and victims
of domestic violence in Huntington Beach.
The City has also partnered with Mercy House to implement a second Tenant Based Rental
Assistance program targeting low and very-low income seniors, veterans, and homeless. The
program has provided assistance to 43 households to date and the program will continue through
the end of FY 2019/20 with a proposed goal of assisting an additional 24 households.
Via the amendment to the FY 2018/19 Annual Action Plan, the City also funded a contract with
Families Forward to provide 15 households in FY 2018/19 and another 15 households in FY
2019/20 with tenant based rental assistance. To date, Families Forward has helped seven
households with tenant based rental assistance.
Finally, the City proposed to allocate $700,000 in HOME funds for The Navigation Center located
at 15161 Jackson Street in Midway City. The project proposes to construct approximately 7 single
family occupancy units to be rented solely to Huntington Beach residents. The property is owned
by the local CHDO, American Family Housing. The City is partnering with AFH, the City of
Westminster, and the County of Orange on this endeavor.
Finally, in recent years, the City has provided funding support to local public service agencies such
as the Huntington Beach Police Department and SteppingUP that address the service needs of
237
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan
68
the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
As a means of better protecting children and families against lead poisoning, in 1999 HUD
instituted revised lead-based paint regulations focused around the following five activities:
• Notification
• Lead Hazard Evaluation
• Lead Hazard Reduction
• Ongoing Maintenance
• Response to Children with Environmental Intervention Blood L ead Level
The City has implemented HUD Lead Based Paint Regulations (Title X), which requires federally
funded rehabilitation projects to address lead hazards. Lead -based paint abatement is part of
the City's Residential Rehabilitation Program and the Acquisition/Rehabilitation of Affordable
Rental Housing Program. Units within rental housing projects selected for rehabilitation are
tested if not statutorily exempt. Elimination or encapsulation remedies are implemented if lead
is detected and is paid for by either the developer of the project, or with CDBG or HOME funds,
as appropriate.
To reduce lead-based paint hazards in existing housing, all housing rehabilitation projects
supported with federal funds are tested for lead and asbestos. When a lead -based paint hazard
is present, the City or the City’s sub-grantee contracts with a lead consultant for abatement or
implementation of interim controls, based on the findings of the report. Tenants are notified of
the results of the test and the clearance report. In Section 8 programs, staff annually inspects
units on the existing program and new units as they become available. In all cases, defective paint
surfaces must be repaired. In situations where a unit is occupied by a household with children
under the age of six, corrective actions will include testing and abatement if necessary, or
abatement without testing.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families
The City’s major objectives in reducing poverty within Huntington Beach are to:
• Reduce the number of families on welfare;
• Reduce the number of families needing housing subsidies; and
• Increase economic opportunities for low and moderate-income persons.
238
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan
69
The City’s anti-poverty strategy seeks to enhance the employability of residents through the
promotion and support of programs which provide employment training and supportive services,
while expanding employment opportunities through the support of programs supporting
business development and employment and its recently-completed Economic Development
Strategy.
In terms of employment training and supportive services, the City supports literacy programs for
families (Oakview Family Literacy Program) with a combination of General Funds and CDBG that
help enhance the employability of low-income persons with deficient English speaking, reading,
and writing skills. As funding permits, the City will continue to support the following Public
Services to increase family stability for lower income households:
• Counseling
• Domestic Violence Prevention Services
• Provision of food
• Substance Abuse Services
• Job Training
Lastly, the City of Huntington Beach supports a variety of economic development activities that
help to create and retain jobs for low- and moderate-income households. Activities supported
include a commercial property locator; employment assistance including of a referral service for
finding and training employees; financial assistance through the Small Business Administration;
business counseling and training via a litany of not-for-profit Orange County agencies; technical
assistance in permits, trademarks, environmental review, and taxes; and export and trade
assistance. Micro-enterprise assistance, job training services, and technical assistance are some
areas that may warrant consideration for funding during the next Consolidated Plan period.
The City will fully comply with Section 3 of the Housing and Community Development Act, which
helps foster local economic development and individual self-sufficiency. This set of regulations
require that to the greatest extent feasible, the City will provide job training, employment, and
contracting opportunities for low or very low-income residents in connection with housing and
public construction projects.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
As the recipient of CDBG and HOME funds, the City has delegated the Office of Business
Development to be the lead department responsible for the overall administration of HUD
239
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan
70
grants. In that regard, the Division will prepare the Consolidated Plan and Analysis of
Impediments to Fair Housing Choice every five years, draft the Annual Action Plan and CAPER, as
well as all other reports required by federal rules and regulations.
The City will work with non-profit agencies, for-profit developers, advocacy groups, clubs, and
organizations, neighborhood leadership groups, City departments and with the private sector to
implement the City’s five-year strategy to address the priority needs outlined in the Consolidated
Plan for Fiscal Years 2015/2016 – 2019/2020. Engaging the community and stakeholders in the
delivery of services and programs for the benefit of low to moderate residents will be vital in
overcoming gaps in service delivery. The City will also utilize public notices, Community
Workshops and Meetings (as appropriate), the City’s website, and other forms of media to deliver
information on carrying out the Consolidated Plan strategies.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private h ousing and social
service agencies
In an ongoing effort to bridge the gap of various programs and activities, the City has developed
partnerships and collaborations with local service providers and City departments that have been
instrumental in meeting the needs and demands of the homeless, low income individuals and
families, and other special needs. Over the years, the City has expanded partnerships and created
new ones along the way. The array of partners include, but are not limited to: the Huntington
Beach Police Department, Library Services, Community Services, and Public Works Departments;
American Family Housing, Habitat for Humanity, Interval House, Mercy House, Collete’s
Children’s Home, and AMCAL; Orange County Community Housing Corporation; Jamboree
Housing; Community SeniorServ; AIDS Services Foundation; Project Self Sufficiency; Alzheimer’s
Family Services; Fair Housing Foundation; the Orange County Housing Authority; and 2-1-1
Orange County and OC Community Services (Orange County Continuum of Care). During FY
2019/20, the City will continue to develop these partnerships. Specifically, the City is currently
working with the City of Westminster, the County or Orange, and American Family Housing to
construct new SRO units for homeless persons at AFH’s property located at 15161 Jackson Street,
Midway City.
Finally, the City is assisting with the acquisition and rehabilitation of an emergency homeless
shelter located at 15311 Pipeline Lane, Huntington Beach. The new public facility, known as the
Huntington Beach Navigation Center, will partner with non-profit organizations to offer 90-beds
for nightly shelter, as well as case management for Huntington Beach’s homeless population.

Ordinance No 4179 is nearly identical to No. 4177, except that it permanently adopts Ordinance No.
4177’s regulations into the Municipal Code. Like its predecessor, Ordinance No. 4179 is designed to
encourage and promote small business, and avoid conflicts with regard to regulation of the City
sidewalks and parks.
This Ordinance seeks to strike a balance between promoting small businesses in the form of
sidewalk vending with the health, safety and welfare, of the City of Huntington Beach. The
regulations contained within this Ordinance are necessary in part to:
1. Ensure no interference with the performance of public safety officers including, police, firefighter,
lifeguard, security and emergency medical personnel services;
2. Ensure no interference with pedestrian or vehicular traffic including ingress into, or egress from,
any residence, public building, or place of business, or from the street to the sidewalk, by persons
exiting or entering parked or standing vehicles;
3. Provide reasonable access for Sidewalk Vending Activities in portions of the City while preserving
the use and maintenance of sidewalks, pathways, poles, posts, traffic signs or signals, hydrants,
restrooms, trash receptacles, firefighting apparatus, mailboxes, public benches and/or planters, as
well as access to locations used for public transportation services;
4. Ensure the safe sale of Food and Merchandise in the public right-of-way, by providing the public a
simple way to ensure Sidewalk Vendors prepare Food safely and according to Orange County
Department of Public Health requirements;
5. Protect the flow of pedestrian or vehicular traffic including ingress into, or egress from, any
residence, public building, or place of business, or from the street to the sidewalk, by persons exiting

Analysis:
On January 22, 2019, the City Council adopted Emergency Ordinance No. 4177, effective through
May 23, 2019,to regulate Sidewalk Vending. Ordinance No. 4179 proposes to readopt permanently
into the Municipal Code the Temporary Regulations previously enacted, and is scheduled to be
considered for adoption on April 1, 2019. Pursuant to the Sidewalk Vending Ordinance, staff
recommends the establishment of a Sidewalk Vending Permit Fee to recover the costs associated
with permitting sidewalk vending businesses. The recommended Sidewalk Vending Permit Fee
covers the costs of reviewing, processing and issuing documents related to the Sidewalk Vending
Permit. This process includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:
·Verifying that the vendor has obtained a business license and has provided proof of a valid
seller’s permit with a listed address of Huntington Beach or Sunset Beach
·Reviewing documents related to proof of liability insurance that meets the City’s minimum
requirements
·Reviewing documents to ensure that food vendors have obtained all applicable State and
County permits
·Completing a background check for each person who will be conducting sidewalk vending
activities
·Issuing applicable permit documents
Based on a formal fee study that was completed in conformance with Proposition 26, staff estimates
that the cost to issue a typical permit is $268. This cost includes staff time from Finance, Police and
Human Resources/Risk Management. The table below provides a breakdown of the costs:
Department/Division Fully Burdened
Hourly Rate
Hours Cost
Finance $131 1.40 $183
Police, Non-Sworn $103 0.50 52
Risk Management $131 0.25 33
Total $268
Below is a comparison of sidewalk vending fees in comparable cities:
City Fee
City of Newport Beach $155
City of Manhattan Beach $195
City of Santa Ana $225
City of Garden Grove $150-$175
City of Beverly Hills $322
Staff recommends that City Council approve the establishment of a Sidewalk Vending Permit Fee, in
the amount of $268, which represents 100% cost recovery to process and issue the permit.
