FUNDING: State Senate Bill 2 Funding – Building Homes and Jobs Act Grants Program. Body DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND The State of California, Department of Housing and Community Development (the “Department”) issued a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) dated March 29, 2019, for its Planning Grants Program (“PGP”). In response to the 2019 NOFA, the County of El Dorado submitted a project application dated October 30, 2019 for an allocation of the PGP Program funds up to the maximum amount available to the County of $310,000 to accelerate the production of housing for two activities as described below. The first activity is Community Design Standards for multi-family residential development in the Community Region of Shingle Springs, followed closely by Design Standards for the Community Regions of Cameron Park, Diamond Springs/El Dorado, and El Dorado Hills. These Community Design Standards will include architectural design (themes, style, color, materials, and features), compatibility measures, and prototypes for multi-family residential development. The resulting Community Design Standards will expedite the review of multi-family residential development projects by allowing their planning process review to be ministerial under CEQA, rather than discretionary. The multi-family residential development projects that are processed after the adoption of the proposed Community Design Standards and in compliance with these standards will benefit from a staff-level procedure. This will essentially stimulate and streamline the production of multi-family residential development in the unincorporated community regions of El Dorado County. Project management will be conducted with a combination of County staff time and consultant services. The Board designated $250,000 for community planning in the FY 2018-19 and FY 2019-20 County Budget with $125,000 in Economic Development budget and $125,000 in the Planning and Building Department budget. The County budget allocated to this activity for staff and consultant services will be offset by grant funds for eligible activities. The second activity is the Pre-Approved Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Plan Program. The ADU plan program is projected to encourage the construction of ADUs by offering property owners a pre-approved ADU building plan and optional facades. Although some site-specific design work is required due to the topographic diversity in the county, a property owner can dramatically reduce pre-construction costs and receive expedited building permits by utilizing these plans. Project management will be conducted with a combination of County staff time and consultant services. On December 10, 2019, the Department announced that the County of El Dorado was conditionally awarded $310,000 for the SB2 grant application the County submitted to accelerate housing production by streamlining the approval of multi-family residential housing and promoting development consistent with the state’s planning priorities. On January 27, 2020, the County of El Dorado received Standard Agreement 19 PPG-13433, and exhibits, from the Department for review and execution prior to the expenditure of grant funds. Staff is requesting acceptance of the grant funds and approval of a resolution authorizing the Planning and Building Department Director, or designee, to act on the County’s behalf in all matters pertaining to this grant to enter into, execute, and deliver a State of California Standard Agreement (No. 19 PPG-13433) for the amount of $310,000, and any and all other documents required or deemed necessary or appropriate to evidence and secure the PGP grant, the County’s obligations related thereto, and all amendments thereto (collectively, the “PGP Grant Documents”) that do not affect the dollar amount or the term, contingent upon approval by County Counsel and Risk Management. This matter was Approved and Resolution 030-2020 was Adopted upon Approval of the Consent Calendar |
