COUNCILMEMBER ITEMS
22. 20-1760 Item Submitted by Mayor Semeta Denied — Consideration of a Prohibition on the
City’s use of Public Funds for any Tax Measure Advocacy
Mayor Semeta introduced this item and explained her position that there is a fine line between educating
and advocating, and explained that other area cities have passed similar resolutions that prohibit use of
public funds for tax measure advocacy.
Councilmember Delgleize stated her opposition and concerns because the City depends on consultants
to help constituents better understand a program and/or tax measure, and she doesn't want to eliminate
any options the City may choose to utilize for education purposes.
Councilmember Carr stated she cannot support this item because the state and county already have
regulations on advocacy, and she believes that third party consultants can provide a more unbiased
opinion.
Mayor Semeta responded by stating that third party consultants advertise their success rate for enacting
California revenue measures, which to her indicates biased intent.
Councilmember Brenden stated that he appreciates the intent of this item, but he has concerns about the
restrictions this action could have on the City's informational unbiased communications, especially
knowing there are existing regulations on advocacy.
34
City Council/Public Financing Authority
Regular Meeting Minutes, July 20, 2020
Page 18 of 21
Mayor Pro Tem Hardy stated that current state and federal laws already govern this issue.
Councilmember Posey stated his opinion that checks and balances are already in place because Council
Members approve the hiring of consultants.
Councilmember Peterson stated his support for this item not only because hired consultants may not be
as unbiased as some think they are, but other cities are actively addressing the issue by passing similar
resolutions.
A motion was made by Semeta, second Peterson to enact safeguards to prevent the use of public funds
to advocate for a tax measure under the guise of information or education, and request that the City
Council vote to direct the City Attorney to prepare a resolution to prohibit the City's use of public funds for
informational or educational campaigns regarding any local tax measure. The resolution should be
placed on a future City Council meeting agenda for consideration within 30 days.
The motion failed by the following vote:
AYES: Semeta, and Peterson
NOES: Posey, Delgleize, Hardy, Carr, and Brenden
23. 20-1761 Item Submitted by Councilmember Peterson TABLED — Proposed establishment of
a 40+ Bed Temporary Emergency Shelter at the City’s Public Works Yard on
Gothard Street
Councilmember Peterson explained that he introduced this item in response to County delays in getting
the Beach Boulevard facility set up, and his interest in a plan that can be implemented without additional
cost for obtaining a location, as the City has several locations that could be used temporarily.
Mayor Pro Tem Hardy explained for public benefit that as the process proceeds neighbors to any site
selected would be notified, and the purpose of Council Member Items is only to determine if there is
Council consensus for proceeding with consideration, not Council approval to implement. Mayor Pro
Tem Hardy stated the Senior Center parking lot, a possible alternative location, has Measure C
limitations, and asked for more details such as a timeline for setting up, in conjunction with Cameron, and
requested a full presentation including escorted residents, services, and security, every time a shelter
discussion comes to Council.
Councilmember Posey and City Manager Chi reviewed the Emergency declaration, especially related to
Senate Bill 850, which allows for placing a navigation center on City owned property regardless of zoning
requirements. Discussion continued to confirm that Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and
SB2 funds are used for the costs of operation once a center is set up. City Manager Chi reviewed some
pros and cons of operating dual sites for emergency shelter, and identified some of the sites previously
considered by the City for homeless shelter.
At 11:05 PM, a motion was made by Brenden, second Posey to continue the meeting past the hour of
11:00 PM. The motion was approved by consensus of Council.
Councilmember Posey summarized his view of Councilmember Peterson’s lack of previous support for
developing shelter for the homeless, including use of CDBG and SB2 funds.
35
City Council/Public Financing Authority
Regular Meeting Minutes, July 20, 2020
Page 19 of 21
Councilmember Delgleize described the request as irresponsible and expressed concerns over the state
of the City during a worldwide pandemic. She also discussed the City’s efforts to address homelessness
over the past five years, and why she would be unable to support the item because in her opinion, all
efforts should be focused on the Cameron Lane property that is being paid for by the County.
Councilmember Carr concurred with Councilmember Delgleize, and expressed her frustrations with
getting a shelter set up and diverting resources from the Cameron Lane site.
Councilmember Brenden stated his opinion that the Cameron Lane location has the best chance of
success in not only meeting the legal requirements, but also providing the full scope of services needed
to properly assist the homeless vs a temporary shelter, and stated his concerns about diverting staff
resources and funds to a temporary shelter.
Mayor Pro Tem Hardy clarified that in her previous comment she should have also requested information
on availability of a service provider, and after hearing other Council Member comments stated she still
would like to see a side-by-side comparison to help clarify whether a temporary shelter would be needed
for two weeks or two months — information that will help her to determine the feasibility.
Councilmember Peterson explained he never approves of CDBG funding because he doesn't agree with
the Federal mandates that are included, and he hasn't supported accepting SB2 funds because of the
builder demands and State regulations involved. He further stated that addressing the issue of
homelessness is a State mandate which the County is supposed to address, and observing the delays in
the County project on Cameron Lane, he thought that his fellow Council members might support taking a
small step now towards addressing this urgent need.
Councilmember Posey addressed the historical facts from his perspective and stated his opinion that
there are not enough resources to spend on two different shelter locations, therefore the focus needs to
be devoted entirely on the Cameron Lane project. Police Chief Handy was invited by Councilmember
Posey to share the Police Department perspective on the homeless issue.
Councilmember Posey stated his interest in re-visiting the issue of a temporary shelter if in fact there
continue to be delays in the Cameron Lane project.
Mayor Semeta and City Manager Chi discussed the time deadlines for use of COVID-19 funds available
to address homeless issues, and the timeline for securing the shelter service provider.
Councilmember Brenden and City Manager Chi discussed using County-funded hotel vouchers to
provide housing for homeless individuals, and City Manager Chi agreed to bring back an update in two
weeks.
Mayor Semeta expressed support for additional information as requested by Mayor Pro Tem Hardy, as
another option may be needed if there are further delays with the Cameron Lane project.
A motion was made by Peterson, second Semeta to pursuant to the powers of the City to address a
health and safety crisis, and pursuant to the City's Emergency Declaration, direct the City Manager bring
back a proposal in 2 weeks for the establishment of a 40+ bed temporary emergency shelter in the City
Public Works Yard on Gothard Street. The shelter should be considered temporary and be constructed
with basic necessities, as amended for staff to return with a comparison timeline with the Cameron
Lane project.

The substitute motion carried by the following vote:
AYES: Posey, Delgleize, Hardy, Carr, and Brenden
NOES: Semeta, and Peterson
24. 20-1762 Submitted by Councilmember Posey approved as amended — Consideration of a
Resolution of the City Council acknowledging Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian
for their continued delivery of the highest quality Health Care and supporting their
efforts to seek independence as a Community-Based Hospital for Orange County
Councilmember Posey described a brief history on this item and stated that Hoag Memorial Hospital
Presbyterian is looking for support to make medical care decisions based on local situations, and
presented this item as an opportunity for Huntington Beach to provide goodwill support.
Councilmember Brenden stated his appreciation for the great partner that Hoag Hospital is, but doesn't
feel it is appropriate for the City to weigh in on litigation.
Councilmember Peterson expressed his appreciation for the services of Hoag Hospital, and explained it
is his understanding the legal issue between Hoag Hospital and Providence Health is based, at least in
part, on religious differences, and a City stance on one side or the other would be a First Amendment
violation. Therefore, he suggested a Council Commendation (rather than a Resolution) outlining the
great things Hoag is doing in the community, and a letter from the Mayor.
Mayor Pro Tem Hardy expressed support for Councilmember Peterson's suggestion, and asked about
the Intergovernmental Relations Committee (IRC) discussion on this. Mayor Semeta stated that the IRC
took no position and preferred that Council address the issue. Mayor Pro Tem Hardy added that she is
not sure it is appropriate for Council to address the issue.
Councilmember Carr stated support for a Council Commendation to Hoag as suggested by
Councilmember Peterson, rather than committing to a resolution.
Mayor Semeta also stated support for a Council Commendation.
A motion was made by Peterson, second Posey to recommend that the City Council direct the City
Manager to prepare a Council Commendation to support Hoag's efforts to seek independence from its
current affiliation with Seattle-based Providence Health.
The motion carried by the following vote:
AYES: Posey, Delgleize, Hardy, Semeta, Peterson, Carr, and Brenden
NOES: None
COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS (Not Agendized)
Councilmember Posey commended his good friend Mr. Brian Almas, President, Surf City Classics, for

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Oliver Chi, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Ursula Luna-Reynosa, Director of Community Development
Subject:
Approve the Huntington Beach Downtown Business Improvement District (DTBID) Annual
Report for Fiscal Year 2020-2021 and Adopt Resolution No. 2020-49 declaring the City’s
intention to levy an annual assessment for Fiscal Year 2020-2021 at a public hearing
scheduled for September 8, 2020
Statement of Issue:
In September 2004, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 3661, establishing the Huntington
Beach Downtown Business Improvement District as a method of marketing the Downtown area. The
State of California Parking and Business Improvement Law of 1989 requires the City Council to
approve an annual report each fiscal year, and adopt a Resolution of Intention to levy an assessment
for the next fiscal year at a scheduled public hearing.
Financial Impact:
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund. Revenues and expenses are included in the 2020-
2021 Huntington Beach Business Improvement District budget (710). The expenditures are only
reimbursed based upon revenue collected.
Recommended Action:
A) Approve the Huntington Beach Downtown Business Improvement District (DTBID) Annual Report
for Fiscal Year 2020-2021 (attached as Exhibit A to Resolution No. 2020-49); and,
B) Adopt Resolution No. 2020-49, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Declaring the City’s Intention to Levy an Annual Assessment for Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Within the
Huntington Beach Downtown Business Improvement District,” which sets a public hearing for
September 8, 2020.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the Annual Report and do not adopt the Resolution.

In September 2004, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 3661, establishing the Huntington

File #:20-1798 MEETING DATE:8/3/2020
In September 2004, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 3661, establishing the Huntington
Beach Downtown Business Improvement District (DTBID) to fund promotional activities benefiting all
businesses within the district area. In addition, pursuant to State Law, the City Council appointed an
Advisory board for the District. The purpose of the BID Advisory Board is to make recommendations
to the City Council regarding the expenditures of revenues derived from the assessments, the
classifications of businesses, and the method of levying the assessments. The Advisory Board
recommendations are then considered by the City Council at a noticed public meeting and approved
or modified by the City Council.
In February 2008, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 3797, amending Ordinance No. 3661, to
change how the District’s Advisory board was selected. Following the adoption of Ordinance No.
3797, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2008-04 appointing a non-profit corporation known
as the Huntington Beach Downtown Business Improvement District (the “Non-Profit Corporation”) to
act as the Advisory Board for the District.
In April 2017, the City Council recommended that the DTBID retain the services of an outside
industry-specific consultant to review and evaluate the DTBID’s operations and structure, and provide
recommendations to improve the functionality and professionalism of the organization to the benefit
of its members. The DTBID subsequently contracted with the International Downtown Association
(IDA) to review the DTBID. The panel spent significant time in the Downtown area, interviewed over
55 stakeholders, and, in July 2017, produced a report detailing their observations and
recommendations. Changes to the DTBID budget, organizational structure, and employee
compensation were recommended.
For Fiscal Year 2018-2019, the DTBID made significant improvements, including changing the
position of BID Manager to Executive Director, implementing stronger financial oversight by
incorporating tasks such as forecasting and budgeting, launching a daytime patrolling program, and
improving overall marketing efforts, including updates to the hbdowntown.com website.
For the Fiscal Year 2019-2020, the DTBID continued to take steps to improve its operations and
develop programs relevant to downtown businesses. They partnered with WAYMAKERS OC and the
Safe HB Collective on multiple projects focused on bringing safety awareness to alcohol beverage
establishments, including Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) training, security guard training, and
a citywide rideshare campaign. Another notable highlight includes the successful management and
execution of the various high-profile events that drew thousands of visitors to downtown, including
the Surf City Nights, Halloweenfest, and the Miracle on Main Street - Tree Lighting Ceremony.
The DTBID continues to manage the Downtown Maintenance operations with funds administered
through the City of Huntington Beach Public Works Department. As the non-profit corporation, the
Surf City Nights event funds are generated from event vendor and sponsor fees.
The impact of COVID-19 and civil unrest on local businesses and the DTBID has been significant.
Various businesses in downtown were required to close down temporarily or alter their business
model. The DTBID has been in regular contact with businesses and is helping identify ways to
stimulate activity in partnership with the City, Visit Huntington Beach,and the Huntington Beach
Chamber of Commerce. As a result, the DTBID has had to make significant changes to continue

File #:20-1798 MEETING DATE:8/3/2020
Chamber of Commerce. As a result, the DTBID has had to make significant changes to continue
operating with fewer revenues and resources. One notable difference is a reduction in overall
expenditures, including the elimination of the Security Program for FY 2020-2021, resulting in a
savings of $128,000 from the prior year. The DTBID has also had to reassess the scheduling of its
ongoing events, which are primary sources of revenue, including Surf City Nights and Chili at the
Beach.
The City Council is asked to approve the 2019-2020 Annual Report and 2020-2021 Fiscal Year
Budget for the DTBID, adopt a Resolution declaring the City’s intent to levy an annual assessment for
Fiscal Year 2020-2021,and schedule a duly noticed public hearing for September 8, 2020. Funding
recommendations to the City Council are made by a ten (10) member (nine voting members, one non
-voting member) Advisory Board, which is elected annually by assessed members. State law requires
that DTBID activities benefit businesses located and operating in the assessment area. Downtown
businesses are assessed based on their size, location, and business type. Assessments range from
$40 to $1,404 per annum.
The BID did not amend the boundary map (Exhibit B) and assessment formula (Exhibit C) for FY
2020-2021.
The Board of Directors approved a Revised Reserves Operating Policy establishing guidelines for
how the board can best use these resources for the benefit of business improvement in downtown.
As of July 23, 2020, there is a reserve of $130,706.89. These funds have traditionally been used for
beautification projects, security in Downtown or events. The DTBID’s total operations budget includes
the operations and revenues of Surf City Nights and the Malco agreement, which previously operated
under its own budget. The budget for 2020-2021 is summarized in the Annual Report with an
additional line item attachments (Attachment No. 2). The summary is as follows:

As mentioned above, the DTBID’s projected 2020-2021 budget has been reduced significantly from
the prior year in response to COVID-19. A reduction in revenue from ongoing events is expected and
is reflected in these projections. To cultivate more activity and business in downtown, the DTBID
plans to build on their recent social media efforts and expand its in-house digital marketing program
by creating an HB Downtown style guide, distributing monthly newsletters, and bi-monthly blogs.
They will also work closely with the City in the administration and management of the Main Street
Outdoor Dining Program, which has already been launched. Other projects for the new fiscal year
include the Families First Program, a student-focused program in the absence of on-campus

include the Families First Program, a student-focused program in the absence of on-campus
education, and an expansion of the Farmer’s Market to reintroduce Surf City Nights.
As required by State law, a protest hearing must be held to provide the opportunity for those
businesses affected to voice their protest or submit their protest in writing. The Resolution of
Intention sets this public protest hearing for September 8, 2020. At that time, the City Council will
tally the percentage of assessments protested and will hear additional public comments on the
renewal of the DTBID. The City Council also has the option of reducing assessments or modifying
the boundary area if public comments prompt adjustments. If written protests are received from
affected businesses owners totaling 50% or more of assessment value, no further proceedings to
continue the Business Improvement District can be considered for a period of one (1) year.

HUNTINGTON BEACH DOWNTOWN
BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT
ANNUAL REPORT
OCTOBER 1, 2019 - SEPTEMBER 30, 2020
Since its beginning in 2004, the Huntington Beach Downtown Business Improvement District
has played an integral role in the continued economic growth and vitality of downtown, with
a significant focus on beautification, safety, and promotional events.
Our fiscal year is October 01 – September 30. It is a fiscal year with two stories: before the
COVID-19 Pandemic and after. When the statewide Stay-At-Home Order was issued
on March 19, 2020, our members either closed temporarily or drastically altered their
business models. Businesses operating out of office spaces required their employees to work
virtually from home. Some restaurants served customers through Take-Out and Delivery
services. Retail shops focused on promotions through online sales. Some of our businesses
were forced to close and wait for the order to be lifted.
Then, at the end of May, as restrictions were slowly being lifted, civic unrest that spread
throughout the nation also came to Huntington Beach, delaying recovery just a little longer.
By early July, COVID-19 cases were on the rise, and the Governor re-issued closures of
specific businesses.
The HBDBID continues to work closely with downtown merchants and the City to support any
temporary changes that will help stimulate our economy and promote services as they are
available. We are also working hard behind the scenes to welcome Surf City Nights back to
Main Street, following all important health-safety guidelines.
We are excited to be back in business as soon as possible, working within restrictions
required for social distancing, and the safety and security of our community. The HBDBID
Board of Directors continue to work behind the scenes with a focus on maintaining
cleanliness and public safety while building a vision for the future.

HIGHLIGHTS 2019 - 2020
Typically, Huntington Beach Downtown
enjoys a popular night life, with many
restaurants open late and providing a
wide selection of music and
entertainment. With this, comes the added
responsibility of ensuring that the late night
experience is safe and welcoming for all visitors.
An important focus in this conversation involves
public education to reduce impaired
driving related collisions in Huntington Beach.
Before COVID-19, HBDBID was working closely with WAYMAKERS OC and the Safe HB
Collective, making way on multiple projects. These projects included, Responsible Beverage
Service (RBS) Training for all on-sale establishment
staff, a Security Guard training for Huntington
Beach Security Guards, a city wide Rideshare
Campaign, and wrapping a Huntington Beach
Police Department vehicle with "Choose Your Ride"
messaging. WAYMAKERS OC spearheaded the
effort in cooperation with partners including the
HBDBID, HB Police, Every 15 Minutes, Mothers
Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and the Alcoholic
Beverage Control (ABC).
One of the critical elements of this campaign included public messaging on billboards and
bus stops through LA and OC. This billboard example on PCH expected to have 183,391
impressions between March 16 – June 28.
107

Moving forward, as establishments start to open up, the HBDBID will continue to partner
with WAYMAKERS OC on efforts for continued RBS Training and promoting Rideshare. The HBPD
vehicle with "Choose Your Ride" messaging has recently been finished and we are excited for
it to be able to be seen by the public.
The HBDBID looks forward to working with the Safe HB Collective and the downtown
establishments to continually improve the nightlife experience by creating a safe and
enjoyable environment.
HIGHLIGHTS 2019 - 2020
Noteworthy to the economic health of Huntington Beach, two considerable projects have
been underway in downtown.
Currently under construction, is an expansion of Pierside Pavilion on Pacific Coast Highway.
This exciting four-story building provides an additional 30,000 square feet to accommodate
high-end retail, a 2nd floor ocean front upscale restaurant and a rooftop terrace, plus two
floors of premier office space.
401 Main Street is a brand new two-story building
featuring 12,500 square feet of retail and creative
office space, expecting to be ready for occupancy in June
of 2020.
Huntington Beach Downtown continues to
welcome exciting new businesses to our popular
destination including a diverse selection of
dining choices such as the TZone, Surf City Ale
House, Wet Dog Tavern, Teresita’s Mexican
Restaurant, Charlie’s Gyros, Ding Tea,
Express Donuts and Jay Birds Nashville Hot
Chicken.
We are also happy to welcome Surf City
Skates, a wonderful addition to
our active lifestyle community.
108

In late October 2019, we welcomed a new ownership
of the retail, restaurant, and office space known as
“5th & PCH.” Mobilite Management, Inc is continuing
to make exterior improvements and is expected to
attract new and relevant tenants to the destination.
A revamping and redesign of one space on 5th &
PCH proved to be the perfect place to
headquarter the offices of Visit Huntington
Beach. Exciting for us, A-Street Partners have been
retained to continuing property management and
bringing us a score of community events in the future.
BID SIGNATURE EVENTS
SURF CITY NIGHTS
SURF CITY NIGHTS is an extraordinary example of
how the HBDBID has been able to raise funds to use
for business development while bringing more
people to the downtown destination.
After much research and consideration, the HBDBID
rolled out a new layout in March, including repositioning
vendors to drive more foot traffic to the side streets of
Walnut and Olive, and allow for an even greater
number of vendor spaces. Responding to community
health and safety concerns related to COVID-19, Surf
City Nights closed on March 3rd. Both our merchants and
community are looking forward to Surf City Nights returning
to downtown in July.
This weekly Street Fair and Certified Farmers' Market is popular with both visitors and locals
alike, and in 2019 was nominated for a BEST OF HB Chamber of Commerce award,
showing how this event is recognized as one of the most-loved events in Huntington
Beach. A core center of our community. Surf City Nights also provides booth space for city
services, local non-profit groups, and an information booth to guide visitors and promote
upcoming downtown events.
SURF CITY NIGHTS features over 90 unique vendors, stretching up the first three blocks of
Main Street. Visitors enjoy live local entertainment on every corner. Fresh produce, flowers,
breads, and sweet treats abound on the street, along with a variety of handcrafted and
otherwise distinctive product provides hours of safe, memorable family fun on Main Street.

HALLOWEENFEST
For over two decades, Huntington Beach Downtown has been providing
a safe, fun, and memorable FREE family experience on Halloween.
In coordination with the management team at 5th & PCH, the
HBDBID provides free attractions for hundreds of young trick-or-
treaters including inflatables, bounce houses, games, and a
reptile petting zoo.
It is important that HalloweenFest reinforces our brand as a
safe and welcoming place to be. The number of families
attending grows dramatically year after year. Families love
visiting with our Police, Fire, Marine Safety and the crafts
provided by our Park & Recreation staff. The annual Kids &
Canine Costume Contest delights visitors of all ages.
Businesses engage with the community by handing out candy and
coupons, if they like, to entice customers back to their stores. The HBDBID
supplemented the candy supply by providing the businesses with over
73,400 pieces of candy! Without question, Huntington Beach downtown is
the largest and safest community for trick-or-treaters.

This Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony has grown into a wonderful tradition for our local
families. The holiday décor expenditure is a significant percent of the HBDBID budget,
representing the commitment of the downtown businesses to our community. We are
proud to be the place where families and friends gather to
make memories and experience a sense of pride in their
city. Holiday entertainment was provided by local
dancers and musicians, mostly youth groups. Plus,
the HBDBID invited the City’s Park & Recreation
Department and the HB Youth Shelter to participate. The
HBDBID arranged for Santa Claus to visit the
downtown district for five consecutive weeks,
giving hundreds of families and friends the chance to
visit and take photos with Santa for no charge, bringing
more locals to downtown during the off-season.
Civic-focused events such as HALLOWEENFEST & MIRACLE ON MAIN ST. TREE LIGHTING
represent two of the biggest events presented by HBDBID. These are one-hundred percent
about “giving back to the community” in a way that we hope encourages substantial
repeat visits to downtown from these visitors.
SURF CITY DAYS & THE HE’E NALU ALOHA PIER FESTIVAL
SEPTEMBER 2019
Surf City Days 2019 was HUGE!
Surf City Days is a special weekend designed for
locals, representing the active life-style of Huntington Beach.
Events include a locals-only surfing
contest, CBVA Volleyball Tournament, HSS/
Surfline Demo Days, HB Cult Old Skool Skate,
and the popular Kowabunga Van Klan Vintage
VW Bus Show. The 2019 weekend was extra
special as we included two days of
authentic South Pacific music and dancing,
plus a Pier Plaza Vendor Fair.
CHILI AT THE BEACH JUNE 2020 CANCELLED
Due to the Governor’s Stay at Home order, the HBDBID canceled the
annual Chili at the Beach event, scheduled for June 13, 2020. This event
typically attracts over 1500 visitors and raises important funds for both the
HBDBID and its partner, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Huntington Valley.
We look forward to bringing this popular event back in June 2021.
MIRAACLE ON MAIN STREET - TREE LIGHTING CEREMONY

October 2019 was a tremendous month for the businesses in downtown, hosting special
events such as the Surf City Sundown, the VISSLA ISA World
Junior Surf Championship and
the Great Pacific Air Show. The
HBDBID closed a portion of
Main Street during the Air
Show to accommodate locals
with FREE bike valet.
In February 2020, the 24th
Annual Surf City Marathon
attracted over 16,000 participants
and their fans to Huntington Beach
Downtown.
MARKETING & ADVERTISING
With over 6300 subscribers, the HBDBID
employs Monthly Newsletters to stay
connected with followers and provide
downtown businesses with an
opportunity to include their
advertisements and promotions at no
charge. In addition, we promote our
downtown destination to over 10,500
FACEBOOK fans.
We actively follow our business
members on social media, increasing
their reach by sharing on our platforms.

TOURISM is a key component to business opportunities in Huntington
Beach Downtown. While the HBDBID focuses on creating a sense of community pride and
possesses a deep appreciation and affection for our local shoppers and diners, we are
equally in love with our visitors from out of town.
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Huntington Beach destination enjoyed high
hotel occupancies and visitor traffic. However, the Stay-at-Home orders across the world
have significantly impacted our visitor expectation for the remainder of the fiscal
year. As restrictions lift, we know there is pent-up demand for travel, especially within the
STAYCATION / NEARCATION market.
Huntington Beach is positioned to be a top choice destination for the drive-in market who
will be looking for coastal dining, shopping, and beach activities.
MAINTENANCE & BEAUTIFICATION
The HBDBID and City of Huntington Beach work together through a MOU
currently authorizing more than $160,000 annually for downtown cleaning and
maintenance.
The HBDBID manages the contract with Malco Services, enabling us to respond
quickly to issues effectively and efficiently. This maintenance partnership with the City is
credited for providing a cleaner, more beautiful downtown district.
This attention to our cleanliness is critical to a positive
experience for our visitors, and sense of pride for our residents.
Day Porters maintain cleanliness in most downtown areas, except
for private buildings that provide their own cleaning service.
Porters are responsible for litter, trash removal, spot mopping of
sidewalks, minor graffiti removal, dusting storefront sills and gum
removal.
Steam / Power Washing is a critical element in our maintenance
program which includes steam cleaning of sidewalks throughout
the downtown district, including alleys and gutters, with service
increased during the busy summer months.
POST COVID MARKETING: As restrictions ease, Huntington Beach is the
perfect choice to enjoy the best of Southern California. The HBDBID will
work closely with Visit HB, hotels, and downtown businesses to attract
and welcome Staycation locals and visitors.

SAFETY
Proudly, Huntington Beach
continues to receive praise
such as “Best Beach” (OC
Register 2019) and “The Best
Stops for a Road Trip on Pacific
Coast Highway” (AFAR 2019)
and among top 10 of the
“Happiest US Cities” (WalletHub
2019). With this, a sense of
safety and security remains a
most critical focus for the
downtown destination. By
working closely with law
enforcement in their efforts to
monitor and manage
homelessness activity in downtown, we ensure the safety of our customers and give our
businesses the opportunity to succeed.
Throughout 2019-2020, the HBDBID invested over $100K annually to maintain both a daytime
security program and late night Ambassador program. The daytime team acts as “eyes and
ears” on the street, to respond quickly and efficiently as a need arises, and providing an
overall feeling of safety to all. The evening Ambassador program is designed to assist our
businesses with ensuring the safety of our late-night patrons, and mitigate any possible
alcohol-related security issues.
The HBDBID continues to advocate for appropriate police coverage and meets regularly
to discuss ways the HBDBID can assist in improving safety.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Oliver Chi, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Robert Handy, Chief of Police
Subject:
Approve and authorize execution of a three-year contract with Waymakers, in the amount of
$272,797, for management of the Gang Prevention and Intervention Program
Statement of Issue:
The Huntington Beach Police Department has contracted with Waymakers (formerly known as
Community Service Program, Inc. [CSP]) since 1992 to manage and provide gang prevention and
intervention services. The current contract expired on June 30, 2020, and a Request for Proposals
was issued by the City of Huntington Beach to continue the services. City Council approval is
requested for a three-year contract with Waymakers for the management of the Gang Prevention and
Intervention Program. Approval of the attached contract will renew this agreement and allow
payment to Waymakers for all future services provided under the contract.
Financial Impact:
Sufficient appropriations are available to fund the first year of the Waymakers contract in Business
Unit 10070705.69365. Future fiscal years will be budgeted accordingly. Full payments towards the
fixed fee schedules are set forth herein: Management of the Gang Intervention Contract - Year 1:
$88,258; Year 2: $90,906; and Year 3: $93,633.
Recommended Action:
Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the “Professional Services Contract
Between The City of Huntington Beach and Waymakers for the Management of Gang Prevention and
Intervention Program.”
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the contract and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
Since 1992, the Huntington Beach Police Department has contracted with Waymakers (formerly
known as Community Service Program, Inc. [CSP]) to manage and provide Gang Prevention and
Intervention services. The current contract expired on June 30, 2020, and a Request for Proposals

was issued by the City of Huntington Beach to continue the services. Waymakers is the only agency
that submitted a bid to the City.
The Gang Prevention and Intervention Program provide direct services to high-risk youth, ages 10-
18. Referrals to this program come primarily from the Police Department after contacts with youths
at risk for recruitment into local gangs.
The focus of the program is the strengthening of the family unit, which in turn is the foundation of the
community. Strong families and community mobilization are the keys to securing a safe and
nurturing environment in which to live. Thus, given the appropriate tools, concerned parents can
regain control of their family and exert a positive influence against potential gang involvement and
violence. The core of the program will be direct service to high-risk youth ages 10-18. Services are
built around recognition that youth engage in acting-out behavior due to a breakdown in the
effectiveness of traditional family, school, or community structures where they would normally fulfill
needs for love, self-esteem, personal meaning, stability, and socialization.

Not applicable.

with amenities consisting of playground equipment, a tot-lot play area, picnic tables, benches,
irrigation, landscaping, and hardscaping.

and is requesting formal acceptance by the City, pursuant to California Government Code Section
66499.7(a). The City Engineer has determined that the improvements have been constructed in

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Oliver Chi, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Ursula Luna-Reynosa, Director of Community Development
Subject:
Approve and authorize execution of a License Agreement between the City of Huntington
Beach and OC405 Partners JV for temporary worker parking for the I-405 Improvement Project
Statement of Issue:
The City Council is asked to approve a new License Agreement with OC405 Partners JV to authorize
the use of a City-owned parcel located at the intersection of McFadden Avenue and Gothard Street in
the City of Westminster for temporary worker parking for the I-405 Improvement Project for a term of
32 months.
Financial Impact:
The Licensee will lease the parcel for $500 per month for a total of $16,000 over the entire term.
Recommended Action:

By and Between The City of Huntington Beach and OC405 Partners JV for Temporary Use of City
Property” (Attachment 1).
Alternative Action(s):

Analysis:
OC405 Partners JV “Licensee” is the general contractor for the Orange County Transportation
Authority’s (OCTA) I-405 Improvement Project. In April 2020 , the Licensee approached staff to utilize
a vacant and undeveloped parcel owned by the City of Huntington Beach, for the purpose of a
temporary parking lot for the employees working on the I-405 Improvement Project. The City-owned
parcel APN 142-311-34 is located northeast of the intersection of McFadden Avenue and Gothard
Street within the City of Westminster. The City of Westminster has land use oversight since the
parcel is located within its city limits, and has issued a temporary use permit for the use. The parcel
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 7/30/2020Page 1 of 2
powered by Legistar™178
File #:20-1785 MEETING DATE:8/3/2020
will be used for employee parking only, and no construction will occur on the site.
The City Attorney’s Office has prepared a License Agreement between the City and Licensee to
temporarily lease the vacant parcel. The term of the License Agreement will be for a period of thirty-
two (32) months. The initial rent will be $500.00 per month for a total term amount of $16,000.00.
The Licensee is required to maintain the site in satisfactory condition and install a gravel base and
perimeter fencing prior to the use of the site for worker parking. The Licensee is also required to
implement best management practices to control erosion and dust, and comply with all applicable

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Robin Estanislau, CMC, City Clerk
PREPARED BY:Robin Estanislau, CMC, City Clerk
Subject:
Approve and authorize execution of a License Agreement with the County of Orange to install,
operate, and maintain an official and secure Ballot Drop Box at Harbour View Park, 16600
Saybrook Lane in Huntington Beach
Statement of Issue:
California Senate Bill 450, or the California Voter’s Choice Act, was passed by the Legislature and
signed by the Governor in 2016. It authorizes counties to conduct all-mailed ballot elections if the
jurisdiction can meet certain criteria. The Orange County Registrar of Voters (ROV) transitioned to
this new model of voting beginning with the Presidential Primary Election in March of 2020, and is
seeking approval for placement of an official Ballot Drop Box at Harbour View Park in Huntington
Beach.
Financial Impact:
Not applicable.
Recommended Action:
Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the “License Agreement” with the County
of Orange for installation, operation, and maintenance of a Ballot Drop Box, as identified in Exhibits A
and B (License Area description and location), at Harbour View Park located at 16600 Saybrook
Lane in Huntington Beach.
Alternative Action(s):
Deny the request.
Analysis:
The California Voter’s Choice Act passed in 2016 allows counties to conduct all-mailed ballot
elections to provide greater flexibility and convenience for voters - elections will no longer be a one-
day event. In February 2019, the County Board of Supervisors voted to enact the Voter’s Choice Act.
Beginning with the Presidential Primary Election held in March 2020, all voters in Orange County
received a vote-by-mail ballot and had the option to: 1) return their ballot by mail (postage-free)

File #:20-1806 MEETING DATE:8/3/2020
through the United States Postal Service; 2) drop their ballot in an official and secure Ballot Drop
Box; or, 3) deliver their ballot to any established Vote Center within the County.
In November 2019, City Council approved License Agreements with the County of Orange to install
Ballot Drop Boxes the Huntington Civic Center located at 2000 Main Street, and the Main Street
Branch Library located at 525 Main Street. After conducting a site assessment and full review of
Harbour View Park, the Orange County Registrar of Voters (ROV) has brought forward a request to
enter into a License Agreement with the City to install a Ballot Drop Box at that location (Attachment
1). If approved by the City, the ROV plans to complete installation of the Ballot Drop Box by August
31, 2020.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Oliver Chi, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Ursula Luna-Reynosa, Director of Community Development
Subject:
Adopt Ordinance No. 4201 repealing Chapter 8.48 and adopting a new Chapter 8.48 of the
Huntington Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) relating to Public Nuisance Abatement of
Abandoned, Wrecked, Dismantled or Inoperative Vehicles
Approved for introduction July 20, 2020 - Vote: 7-0
Statement of Issue:
Code Enforcement often receives requests for service from the community regarding inoperable and
abandoned vehicles on private property. There is a need to amend Huntington Beach Municipal
Code Chapter 8.48 Inoperable Vehicles to update the process for abatement of Inoperable and
Abandoned Vehicles consistent with the California Vehicle Code. If adopted by the City Council, the
proposed amendment will enable the Code Enforcement Division to be more responsive to the
citizens of Huntington Beach and improve the City’s enforcement actions.
Financial Impact:
Not applicable.
Recommended Action:
Adopt Ordinance No. 4201, “An Ordinance of the City of Huntington Beach Repealing Chapter 8.48
and Adopting New Chapter 8.48 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code Relating to Public
Nuisance Abatement of Abandoned Vehicles.”
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the recommended action and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
Since Chapter 8.48 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code was originally adopted, updates to the
California Vehicle Code relating to the process for the abatement of inoperable vehicles have been
passed by the State. As the Community Development Department Code Enforcement Division works
to modernize the City’s processes, the need to update this code chapter has become necessary.
If the proposed amendment is adopted by the City Council, the Code Enforcement Division will be

File #:20-1787 MEETING DATE:8/3/2020
If the proposed amendment is adopted by the City Council, the Code Enforcement Division will be
able to cause the abatement by removal of inoperable vehicles on private property, thereby
enhancing the City’s enforcement actions.
On an annual basis, Code Enforcement receives an average of 170 reported violations of abandoned
and inoperable vehicles on private properties. The current process involves the issuance of a Notice
of Violation, Final Notice, three different levels of civil citations, and further review by the City
Attorney’s Office for other legal remedies. The entire duration of this process can take three (3) to
five (5) months before an abandoned and inoperable vehicle violation is fully resolved. The proposed
amendment provides a more efficient process for resolving these types of violations.
Environmental Status:
The proposed Huntington Beach Municipal Code amendments are exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061 (b) (3) of the CEQA Guidelines
because there is no potential for the amendments to have a significant effect on the environment.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Enhance and maintain high quality City services

LEGISLATIVE DRAFT
HBMC 8.48
8.48.010 Intent and Purpose
This Chapter is intended to provide a procedure for the abatement of Abandoned, Wrecked, Dismantled
and Inoperable Vehicles, and Vehicle Parts, and is enacted under the authority of the Huntington Beach
Charter and Section 22660 of the California Vehicle Code.
It is the intent of the City Council to provide that the abatement of public nuisances consisting of
Abandoned, Wrecked, Dismantled and Inoperable Vehicles may be carried on either concurrently with or
separately from the abatement of other conditions, if any, constituting a public nuisance on any premises
within the City, as deemed appropriate under the circumstances.
8.48.020 Definitions
For the purposes of this Chapter, the following terms shall mean as follows, unless the context in which
they are used clearly indicates to the contrary:
A. “Abandoned Vehicle” means a Vehicle abandoned on a street, public property or private
property in such an inoperable or neglected condition and the Director determines that the owner
relinquished all rights or interest in the Vehicle.
B. “Director” means the Director of the Department of Community Development, or his or her
designee.
C. “Dismantled Vehicle” means any Vehicle which is partially or wholly disassembled.
D. “Inoperable Vehicle” means any Vehicle in a condition that renders it unable to drive or unsafe
for operation upon a street, or in which operation upon a street would violate the Vehicle Code or any
other law or regulation related to the operation of Vehicles upon a street in the City of Huntington Beach
or the State of California.
E. “Vehicle Part” includes, but is not limited to, any item, device, component, frame, bumper,
wheel or glass associated with a Vehicle.
F. “Public Property” is any property owned by the City, or any State, County or local government
agency. Public property does not include a street.

Wrecked or Part of a Vehicle.
I. “Wrecked Vehicle” means any Vehicle, or a substantial part of a Vehicle that is damaged to
such an extent that it cannot be operated upon the street. A Vehicle which has been wrecked in a traffic

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Oliver Chi, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Ursula Luna-Reynosa, Director of Community Development
Subject:
Public Hearing to consider approval of Amendment No. 3 (SUBSTANTIAL) to Fiscal Year 2019-
20 Annual Action Plan for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME
Investment Partnership (HOME) Programs
Statement of Issue:
A substantial amendment to the 2019-20 Annual Action Plan for the CDBG and HOME federal
entitlement grant programs is proposed to help address costs associated with the City’s COVID-19
response. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires the City to
conduct a Public Hearing to approve this amendment.
Financial Impact:
There is no impact to the General Fund. The City received $1,147,593 in CDBG funds and $563,796
in HOME funds for the 2019-20 Fiscal Year. The City subsequently received an additional $727,819
in Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act CDVG-CV funds.
Recommended Action:
A) Approve Amendment No. 3 (SUBSTANTIAL) to the City of Huntington Beach Fiscal Year 2019-20
Annual Action Plan for the Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnership
Programs; and,
B) Authorize the City Manager to sign all necessary U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development documents and take all other necessary administrative and budgetary actions.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the Amendment, and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
The City receives an annual allocation of federal entitlement grant funds from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to implement the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) programs. Annually, an Action Plan is adopted
by the City Council setting forth the programs and projects that will be funded. If the City elects to add

File #:20-1807 MEETING DATE:8/3/2020
by the City Council setting forth the programs and projects that will be funded. If the City elects to add
new programming or to increase funding to an approved CDBG or HOME program by an amount
greater than 25% of the City’s total allocation, a public hearing is required to approve the amendment
to the Action Plan.
Amendment No. 1 (MINOR) to the 2019-20 Annual Action plan was processed administratively on
November 25, 2019, to increase the ADA Curb Cuts budget from $270,399 to $557,297. Amendment
No. 2 (SUBSTANTIAL), was approved by Council on June 6, 2020, to receive and allocate $727,819
in CARES Act funding (CDBG-CV) received from the federal government in response to COVID-19.
The proposed third Amendment to the 2019-20 Annual Action Plan includes the following
revisions/actions:
·An increase in CDBG funding of $1,500 to the City’s Special Code Enforcement Program, for
a total allocation of $191,500.
·An increase of CDBG funding of $8,150 to the City’s Homeless Outreach Program, for a total
allocation of $81,505. The Homeless Outreach Program experienced an increased level of
service calls connected to housing homeless persons during the National Emergency
concerning the Novel Coronavirus. Additional funds are being allocated to pay for costs
associated with preparing, preventing, and responding to COVID-19.
·An increase in the HOME Administration budget in the amount of $100,000 for a total HOME
allocation of $390,949. Additional administrative funds are needed to offset costs associated
with the administration of the City’s Tenant Based Rental Assistance Programs that will be
implemented as part of the City’s strategy to prepare, prevent, and respond to COVID-19,
additional strategic planning needed to utilize CARES Act funding, and other affordable
housing related costs.
Staff recommends approval of amendment to the Annual Action Plan.
Environmental Status:
The proposed substantial amendment to the CDBG and HOME Programs Annual Action Plan , and
the activities described therein, are exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), which
exempts projects where it can be seen with certainty that the activity in question has no possibility of
causing a substantial adverse impact on the environment.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Strengthen long-term financial and economic sustainability

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 over $6.5 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.
On March 27, 2020 the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES) Act was signed
into law, which included $2 billion to be allocated under the Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) Program to aid grantees in the preparation, prevention, and response to the Novel
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Huntington Beach was notified that its share of the CARES Act
funding (CDBG-CV) would be $727,819. This substantial amendment programs the $727,819 to
activities that will bolster the City’s ability to prepare, prevent, and respond to the COVID-19
pandemic including funding the public service operations of an emergency homeless shelter
located at 17631 Cameron Lane, Huntington Beach, and increasing the funding allocations of two
public service programs that have been impacted by COVID-19 – the Senior Service Care
Management Program and the Children’s Bureau After School Program.

3. Evaluation of past performance
255
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan 3
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
program will continue in FY 2019/20.
256
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan 4
• 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.
• 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
257
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan 5
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; however, will continue
funding to ADA 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 and
$766,905 in CDBG revolving loan funds towards the Huntington Beach Navigation Center
located at 15311 Pipeline Lane, Huntington Beach. The City partnered with Illumination
Foundation on this project which included a long-term lease and tenant improvements of
a public facility to be used as a 90-bed homeless shelter with wrap around case
management services. However, in June 2020, the project was officially cancelled via
substantial amendment due to litigation regarding use of the site for an emergency
homeless shelter. The property was sold, and the City subsequently paid back all funds
disbursed to the City’s CDBG fund.
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-
258
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan 6
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.
• 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 was 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.
For the FY 2019/20 Annual Action Plan Amendment No. Two (Substantial), the City utilized
available waivers pertaining to the citizen participation process. On March 31, 2020, HUD
released a memorandum making available waivers for Consolidated Planning Requirements for
the citizen participation public comment period for Consolidated Plan Amendments and for
citizen participation regarding reasonable notice and opportunity to comment. The Citizen
Participation Plan was amended to incorporate these new requirements and was available for
public comment, along with the FY 2019/20 Annual Action Plan Amendment No. Two
(Substantial) for a 5-day public comment period beginning on June 10, 2020 and closing on June
15, 2020. The Amended Citizen Participation Plan and FY 2019/20 Annual Action Plan
Amendment No. Two (Substantial) were posted on the City’s website for public review and
comment.
In early August 2020, the City prepared Amendment No. Three (Substantial) to the FY 2019/20
Annual Action Plan in order to provide additional funds to certain subrecipients that worked to
prepare, prevent, and respond to the Novel Coronavirus pandemic during the 2019/20 fiscal year.
259
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan 7
The Amendment was posted on the City’s website for a 5 -day public comment period pursuant
to the City’s updated amended Citizen Participation Plan. The public comment period ran from
July 29, 2020 through August 03, 2020 the day of the scheduled public hearing to adopt the
Amendment.
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 burd en
(>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
identify the shortage of affordable rental housing as the most significant issue f acing
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.
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.
260
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan 8
• 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 b y 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.

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 departments; 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
263
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan
11
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

For the past several years,

Orange County’s Continuum of
Care planning process has been
the shared responsibility of OC
Partnership, 2-1-1 Orange
County and the OC Community
Services. These organizations
use housing and demographic
data obtained through HMIS
and Homeless Counts to
determine needs and to
pinpoint gaps in housing and
services. This in turn helps to
pool and coordinate resources
with the County and cities to
develop coordinated homeless
access and assessment centers.

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 this
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 tota l 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.

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 affordable 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.
Due to the National Emergency concerning the Novel Coronavirus (COVID -19) pandemic, HUD
has waived the City’s HOME Match requirement for all expenditures beginning October 1, 2019
and will continue to do so through September 30, 2021. The City received this waiver on April 24,
2020.
If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that
may be used to address the needs identified in the plan

extremely low, low, and moderate-income households through the following activities:
• Owner-Occupied SF, Condo, and Mobile Home Grant Program: The City offers a one-time
grant not to exceed $10,000 to low-income homeowners for deferred maintenance and
health and safety-related household repairs. Deferred maintenance can include paint,
siding replacement, window and door replacement, roof repair, or removal of any
condition of blight. Household repairs may include restoration or replacement of
inoperable or severely deteriorated plumbing, heating, and electrical systems, structural
and appliance replacement. The City proposes to fund 6 grants in FY 2019/20.
• Owner-Occupied Single-Family Rehabilitation Loan Program: Funded with CDBG
Revolving Loan Funds, the Single-Family Rehabilitation Loan Program offers low-income
homeowners up to $75,000 in deferred payment loans. Individual loans may be increased
by up to $10,000 if deemed necessary to meet HUD HQS requirements and rehabilitation
standards and would require the approval by the Director of Economic Development.
Payment of the principal and accrued interest is deferred until the property is sold,
transferred, or refinanced. In FY 2019/20, the City proposes to fund one loan.
• Tenant Based Rental Assistance: The City will continue working with Interval House to
provide 22 households with short and medium-term rental assistance as well as housing
relocation and stabilization services. Also, City will assist an additional 15 households
with tenant based rental assistance through Families Forward, a non-profit organization
committed to helping families in need to achieve and maintain self-sufficiency through

AP-35 Projects – 91.220(d)
For the CARES Act Amendment (Amendment No. Two to the FY 2019/20 Annual Action Plan), the
City of Huntington Beach has added one new project to the Annual Action Plan which is listed as
activity #21: CV-Cameron Lane Navigation Center Operations Program.
The City plans to undertake the following CDBG and HOME funded activities during Fiscal Year
2019/20 to address its priority housing and community development needs. All proposed
activities are eligible and meet program service targets. Additionally, the City of Huntington
Beach has not exceeded any of its maximum allocations for CDBG public services, CDBG
administration, or HOME administration. With a CDBG allocation of $1,147,593, the City of
Huntington Beach is normally allowed to allocate a maximum of 15%, or $172,139, in public
services. However, as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic, the public service cap has been
waived. This Annual Action Plan proposes to allocate the 18.5% in public services towards the
following activities: Homeless Outreach Program ($73,355); Senior Services Care Management
($55,000); Children’s Bureau ($65,000); StandUp for Kids Street Outreach ($8,784); and the
Oakview Family Literacy Program ($10,000). CDBG regulations also permit a maximum allocation
of 20%, or $229,518, for CDBG administration activities. The City has allocated $199,518 for CDBG
Administration and $30,000 to the Fair Housing Foundation, for a total of $2 29,518, the
maximum allowed. Lastly, under a HOME Waiver effective April 24, 2020, the City is able to
allocate a maximum of 25%, or $140,949, in HOME administration activities. The City has
allocated an additional $150,000 $250,000 from HOME Program Income receipted during the
fiscal year to HOME Program Administration.

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.
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,
286
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan
34
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.

The City will continue working with Interval House to provide 22 households with short and
medium-term rental assistance as well as housing relocation and stabilization services. The TBRA
Program will meet the City's investment criteria by dedicating program assistance to homeless
households with incomes at or below 30% AMI with preference to veterans, seniors, and victims
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

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 201 5); 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.
312
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan
60
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 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 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 for those
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.

Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan
61
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 o f 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, via substantial amendment to the FY 2019/20 Annual Action Plan, the City will allocate a
total of $1.5 million in CDBG and CARES Act (CDBG-CV) funds to assist with the operations of a
new emergency homeless shelter located at 17631 Cameron Lane, Huntington Beach. The
Cameron Lane Navigation Center will be developed with the County of Orange as it prepares for
the ongoing threat of the Novel Coronavirus. Costs such as staffing, utilities, maintenance, and
wrap around homeless services are necessary to help the City prevent, prepare for, and respond
to the continued threat of the Coronavirus to the City’s vulnerable hom eless population.
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
314
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan
62
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who 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 street
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 20 19/20, 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 instituti ons); or, receiving
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.
315
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan
63
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, the 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 resident ially 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 re move
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
317
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan
65
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
318
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan
66
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) 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 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
opted to work with the local CHDO, Orange County Community Housing Corporation (OCCHC) to
320
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan
68
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 $667,808 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
321
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan
69
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.
322
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan
70
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 servic e 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
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
323
Huntington Beach 2019/20 Annual Action Plan
71
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 housing 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 indiv iduals 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 of land for the development and rehabilitation of
an emergency homeless shelter located at 17631 Cameron Lane, Huntington Beach. The new
public facility, known as the Cameron Lane Navigation Center, will partner with the County of
Orange to offer nightly shelter for the City’s homeless population during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The City will utilize CDBG and CARES Act funds for operations of the shelter once the Orange
County Safer at Home order has lifted.

File #:20-1768 MEETING DATE:8/3/2020
REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Oliver Chi, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Robert Handy, Chief of Police
Subject:
Adopt Resolution No. 2020-53 amending the current Uniform Bail Schedule for Parking
Violations; and, approve for introduction Ordinance No. 4218 amending Huntington Beach
Municipal Code Chapters 10.50 and 10.52 relating to City Pay Parking Lots and Off-Street City
Parking Lots
Statement of Issue:
Over the past several years, additions and subtractions to the Huntington Beach Municipal Code
have led to changes to the Uniform Bail Schedule, resulting in the unintentional deletions of
commonly used sections. As a result, certain enforcement sections became unenforceable, citation
contestment issues were identified, and regulatory signage in City parking lots became obsolete,
requiring updating.
Financial Impact:
Minor costs associated to new signage at City Off-Street Parking Lots. If approved, we should see a
positive impact in City revenue due to the addition of electric vehicle charging enforcement
capabilities; however, the full impact is unknown.
Recommended Action:
A) Adopt Resolution No. 2020-53, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Adopting an Amended Uniform Bail Schedule for Parking Violations,” based on the recommended
amended bail schedule with proposed existing City of Huntington Beach Municipal Codes; and,
B) Approve for introduction Ordinance No. 4218, “An Ordinance of the City of Huntington Beach
Amending Huntington Beach Municipal Code Chapters 10.50 and 10.52 Relating to City Pay Parking
Lots and Off-Street Lots.”
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve these amendments and direct staff accordingly.

File #:20-1768 MEETING DATE:8/3/2020
The Police Department Parking/Traffic Control Unit has identified several existing Huntington Beach
Municipal Code and California Vehicle Code sections that are better suited for application in
enforcement conditions related to street sweeping, curb violations, and curfew off-street lots , to name
a few.
Similarly, there is conflict and inconsistencies within Huntington Beach Municipal Codes in relation to
white curb and street sweeping violations. The application of the proposed existing Huntington Beach
Municipal Codes and California Vehicle Codes would better address the following violations and
inconsistencies that apply to growing citizen concerns: white curbs, street sweeping, bus and student
loading zones, blocked disabled parking stalls, displaying two license plates, and posted curfew at all
City off-street lots.
Lastly, with the growing popularity of electric vehicles (EV), it is recommended the City adopt the
existing California Vehicle Code (22511.1) regulating EV parking stations and stalls and adopt
Huntington Beach Municipal Code (10.52.025). This will allow the Department to respond to and
enforce violations occurring within properly-marked EV charging stations and parking stalls on all City
off-street lots.
If approved, all changes will become effective immediately with the exception of changes listed under
Ordinance No. 4218, which will become effective 30 days after adoption.
Environmental Status:
Non-applicable.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Enhance and modernize public safety service delivery

City of Huntington Beach
File #:20-1799 MEETING DATE:8/3/2020
REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Oliver Chi, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Ursula Luna-Reynosa, Director of Community Development
Subject:
Authorize and direct the City Manager to take the following actions needed to begin operating
an expanded 174-bed shelter facility at the Cameron Lane / Beach Boulevard site effective the
first week of November 2020: (1) execution of a homeless shelter operator contract with Mercy
House with a first year cost of $2,596,240 (utilizing CDBG, SB2, and COVID-19 response
funds); (2) expenditures in an amount not to exceed $2,220,000 for site work / FF&E costs
related to expanding the Cameron Lane / Beach Boulevard shelter (utilizing COVID-19
response funds); (3) execute a ground lease agreement in an amount not to exceed $120,000
for accelerated use of 17642 Beach Boulevard (utilizing COVID-19 response funds); and (4)
allocation of $3,214,035 in housing funds for acquisition of 17642 Beach Boulevard (utilizing
Low-Moderate Income Housing Asset Funds)
Statement of Issue:
On April 20, 2020 the City Council took action to work in partnership with the County of Orange (the
“County”) to stand-up and operate a 75-bed shelter facility in Huntington Beach on the Cameron site.
As part of that partnership project, the City would allow the County to use the Cameron site (which is
being acquired by the City), and the County would construct (and eventually transfer to City
ownership) a 75-bed shelter facility.
Since that time, several developments have created an opportunity to accelerate and expand the
process by which the City would begin operating the proposed shelter facility. Based on current
developments, it is now possible for the City to begin operating a 174-bed shelter facility starting on
Monday, November 2, 2020.
Financial Impact:
The City currently has restricted funding in the following amounts available for use towards
establishment and operation of the 174-bed shelter facility:
Source Available Funds Notes

Recommended Action:
Authorize and direct the City Manager to take the following actions to begin operating an expanded
174-bed shelter facility at the Cameron Lane / Beach Boulevard site effective November 2, 2020:
(1) Execution of a homeless shelter operator contract with Mercy House with a first year cost of
$2,596,240 (utilizing CDBG, SB2, and COVID-19 response funds); and,
(2) Expenditures in an amount not to exceed $2,220,000 for site work / FF&E costs related to
expanding the Cameron Lane / Beach Boulevard shelter (utilizing COVID-19 response funds); and,
(3) Execute a ground lease agreement in an amount not to exceed $120,000 for accelerated use of

17642 Beach Boulevard (utilizing COVID-19 response funds); and,
(4) Allocation of $3,214,035 in housing funds for acquisition of 17642 Beach Boulevard (utilizing Low-
Moderate Income Housing Asset Funds).
Alternative Action(s):
Do not authorize the recommended actions and provide staff with additional direction.
Analysis:
On April 20, 2020 the City Council approved an agreement with the County of Orange (the “County”)
to stand-up and operate a 75-bed shelter facility in Huntington Beach on the Cameron site. As part of
that partnership project, the City would allow the County to use the Cameron site (which is being
acquired by the City), and the County would construct (and eventually transfer to City ownership) a
75-bed shelter facility.
Since that time, several new developments have created an opportunity to accelerate and expand
the process by which the City would begin operating the proposed shelter facility. Based on the
current situation, it is now possible for the City to begin operating a 174-bed shelter facility starting on
Monday, November 2, 2020.
This new opportunity has been made possible due in part to the fact that the City has received an
infusion of restricted COVID-19 funding (in a total amount of $4,206,214) that can be used to aid in
our homeless response efforts. Those restricted dollars can fund an expansion of the original 75-bed
shelter into a 174-bed facility. Of note, by establishing a 174-bed facility, the City will have shelter
bed capacity for 60% of our unsheltered homeless population, which is the standard that has been
established by the Federal Courts in Orange County for those local agencies that aim to begin
enforcing their quality of life regulations.
Additionally, after extensive discussions with the County, the City will be allowed to begin operating
and using the expanded 174-bed shelter as soon as it becomes operational, provided that the City’s
shelter operator take on the responsibility effective day 1. Given the advance work coordinated by
staff, we have followed our procurement processes and identified Mercy House as the City’s
homeless shelter operator. After extensive discussions, assuming City Council authorization of their
service contract tonight, Mercy House has agreed to begin operating the City’s 174-bed shelter
effective Monday, November 2, 2020.
Finally, the expansion of the shelter is made possible so long as the City procures access to the
property adjacent to the Cameron site, which is referred to as 17642 Beach Boulevard (Beach site).
As the City Council may recall, on February 17, 2020, the City Council authorized the acquisition of
the Cameron site. As part of that action, the City also procured an option to purchase Beach site.
For tax purposes, the seller does not want to sell the Beach site until 2021. In advance of that action,
a ground lease to utilize the Beach site can be procured, for a total amount not to exceed $120,000.
By consummating a ground lease to begin using the Beach site immediately, coupled with the other
actions contemplated in this request, it will be possible to have the expanded 174-bed shelter
constructed and operational by November 2, 2020.

Of note, staff has been working with consulting firm EEC Environmental to perform requisite
environmental due diligence as part of the possible acquisition of the Cameron site and the Beach
site. While both sites do have soil contamination present (including pesticides, arsenic, lead, and
hexavalent chromium), after extensive testing and analysis, the Orange County Health Care Agency
has issued findings deeming it safe to operate a shelter facility on the site, so long as an asphalt
pavement cover is placed over the soil. Further, staff has performed a comprehensive assessment of
the feasibility of utilizing the properties for a proposed future affordable housing project in light of the
contaminants found. That analysis has determined that the soil contamination will not prevent a
future housing project from occurring on the combined Cameron / Beach properties.
Environmental Status:
A ground lease of the Beach site is exempt in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3) of the California
Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines as the lease will not cause a significant effect on the
environment. A future project contemplating the residential development of affordable housing may
be exempt in accordance with Section 15194 subject to requirements listed in Sections 15192 and
15194 of the CEQA Guidelines. Such environmental analysis will be conducted once an application
is submitted and a project description is defined.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Oliver Chi, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Oliver Chi, City Manager
Subject:
Consideration of a temporary closure of the third block of Main Street to vehicular traffic
to permit restaurants and select retail to serve patrons in the public right of way
Statement of Issue:
On Wednesday, July 1, 2020, Gov. Newsom ordered indoor operations of restaurants, personal care
services, hair salons, and other select businesses to cease in response to a recent increase in
coronavirus cases statewide. While the City has developed a Temporary Emergency Use Permit
program to help alleviate pressures on businesses looking to operate outdoors, in the Downtown
area, given the physical environment, there are outdoor expansion limitations. To address this
concern, on July 6, 2020, the City Council authorized the City Manager to temporarily close the 2
nd
block of Main Street to allow downtown businesses the opportunity to operate outdoors within the
State’s reopening guidelines.
The closure of the 2
nd block of Main Street has been well received, and this week, the City received a
request from the Downtown BID and merchants located on the 3
rd block of Main Street. That request
asks that the City consider expanding the Main Street closure up to the 3
rd block of Main Street,
between Orange Avenue and Olive Avenue. If authorized by the City Council, staff would close the
block to vehicular access and coordinate a process through which businesses would be able to
expand their operations into the street and public right of way.
Financial Impact:
The fiscal impact is minimal. City staff time will be required to process permit requests and also
install safety bollards to close the third block to vehicular traffic.
Recommended Action:
Authorize the City Manager to temporarily close the third block of Main Street.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not authorize the City Manager to temporarily close the third block of Main Street to vehicular

traffic to accommodate outdoor commercial activity.
Environmental Status:
The project is exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines
Section 15304(e) because the proposed project consists of a minor temporary use having negligible
or no permanent effects on the environment. The proposed project would not have a negative effect
on biologically sensitive resources, and there is no evidence of any unusual environmental
circumstances that might give rise to a reasonable possibility that the project will have a significant
effect on the environment.

Subject: Request for traffic closure on Block 300 Main Street similar to Block 200 and allow Covid‐19
temporary use permit on street
The Indarra modern Indian cuisine restaurant business located in Block 300, Main Street, Downtown
Huntington Beach would like to go on record as strongly in favor of proposed closure of Block 300 street
to traffic and open for outdoor dining similar to Block 200 on the same Main Street.
Our small block constitutes of Surf City Ale House (American cuisine), Sushi‐on‐fire (Japanese Cuisine),
Indarra (Modern Indian Cuisine) and Avila El Ranchito (Mexican Cuisine). It has an amazing diversity of
culture to offer to local residents and visitors and the expansion on street would really augment the
crowd to visit Block 300 as well and not be at any disadvantage compared to Block 200.
We’re all currently going through a challenging phase during COVID‐19 situation, especially restaurant
businesses are struggling to make ends meet. Your support in closure of traffic on block 300 Main Street
would provide Block 300 Main Street businesses a fair chance to attract crowds visiting Downtown
Huntington Beach similar to the opportunity provided to Block 200. The decision for closure of traffic
will have a profound positive effect on the local businesses which are backbone of our community.
We feel this is a critical issue that deserves to be addressed with solutions that benefit local businesses
and provide local residents and visitors more attractive options.

your assistance in obtaining the same benefits for the 3rd block as has been given to the 2nd
block. We have multiple restaurants on the 3rd block that need this help.
We believe opening the 3rd block consistent with the 2nd block will have a great impact to the
downtown for all the businesses. Any help you can give us and our tenants would be greatly
appreciated.

SUBMITTED BY:Mike Posey, City Council Member
Subject:
Item submitted by Councilmember Posey - Coordinate a Study Session to review the City’s
Park Development Efforts between Fiscal Years 2014-15 to 2019-20, including a review of the
City’s Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities Development Impact Fee
Background:
Established in July 2012, the Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities Development Impact Fee has
given the City a greater capacity to complete park development projects that improve recreational
access and the overall quality of life in Huntington Beach. As our Community Services Department
has stated,parks make life better.
Given that the City is about to begin development of an updated Park Master Plan, I am requesting
that the City Council direct staff to coordinate a study session to review the City’s recent efforts to
acquire, renovate, and develop parks during the last six years, which covers the time period covered
by our current Parks Master Plan.
The review would provide valuable insights into understanding how the City is meeting the
recreational demands of our growing community. A review of these efforts should include a complete
list of all parkland acquisition, developments, or facilities completed or in progress since Fiscal Year
2014-2015, as well as an estimate of how these developments have been funded.
Recommended Action:
I recommend the City Council direct the City Manager to schedule a Study Session and present an
overview of the City’s park development efforts from 2014 to 2020. This overview should also include
a corresponding assessment of the use and current fund balance of the City’s Parkland Acquisition
and Park Facilities Development Impact Fee.
