AGENDA TITLE: Adopt a Resolution Accepting the California Department of Housing and
Community Development 2019 Local Early Action Planning Grant and
Appropriating Funds ($300,000)
MEETING DATE: April 7, 2021
PREPARED BY: Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a Resolution Accepting the California Department of
Housing and Community Development 2019 Local Early Action
Planning Grant and Appropriating Funds ($300,000)
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City received notice on January 15, 2021, that the California
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD)
awarded the City $300,000 in Local Early Action Planning
(LEAP) grant funds to conduct various planning efforts that will
promote housing development in the City of Lodi.
California has long experienced a shortage of housing and the State has taken numerous actions to
promote the construction of new housing. The LEAP grant program funds planning efforts that
facilitate such housing construction. On January 27, 2020, the State issued a Notice of Funding
Availability (NOFA) that provided $119,040,000 for assistance to all California jurisdictions. This LEAP
funding is non-competitive and available funding is based on the population of the land use agency.
Activities allowed under the LEAP grant program include projects that assist in the preparation and
adoption of planning documents and process improvements that accelerate housing production and
assist local agencies with meeting the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA).
In response to the State's NOFA for LEAP grant funding, City staff identified planning efforts to
address housing needs of the Lodi community. The following activities were identified in the City's
LEAP grant application:
Accesso Dwelling Units — Standards and Supporting Materials. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU's)
refers to a second dwelling on a property with a single-family home. The State has enacted laws that
make ADU's allowed wherever a single-family dwelling is allowed. The State has also established
certain default standards that are automatically in effect, but in limited cases a city can adopt
regulations tailored to the local community. Major efforts anticipated under this task include:1) update
the City's Second Dwelling Units (ADU) regulations to restore consistency with State regulations,
including form of development, allowed ADU's and review procedures; 2) develop ADU prototype
designs for use by property owners; 3) prepare ADU brochures to educate the public on ADU
procedures and regulations; and, 4) create an ADU submittal checklist for homeowners.
Munici al Services Review/S here of Influence U date. The City of Lodi Municipal Services Review
(MSR) and Sphere of Influence (SOI) were last updated in 2007. Both the MSR and SOI are
considered out of date and the San Joaquin County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo)
APPROVED: V
tephen Schwab City Manager
LEAP Grant

has informed the City that no annexation by Lodi will be processed until the MSR and SOI have been
updated. This task will involve updating the City's MSR and exploring expansion of the SOI. Specific
tasks will include: 1) conduct a study of potential growth areas to accommodate new development,
including housing; 2) amend the City's MSR, consistent with the Cortese -Know -Hertzberg Act; 3)
submit an updated MSR to San Joaquin LAFCo for consideration; and, 4) prepare CEQA
environmental documentation to support an amendment of the City's SOI.
The City prepared a Request for Proposals (RFP) to secure a consultant to assist with the MSR/SOI
process. The City received three proposals in response to the RFP and, following review of proposals
and interviews with consultants, staff selected the firm PlaceWorks to prepare an Environmental
Impact Report and provide technical assistance for the MSR/SOI effort. Staff will be bringing the
PlaceWorks contract award to Council later in April.
Homeless Shelter Program. The Committee on Homelessness is a community organization made up
of stakeholders, community leaders, business owners and concerned citizens designed to respond to
the issue of increasing homelessness in the community. The Community Development Department
Neighborhood Services Division in concert with the appeal from the San Joaquin Continuum of Care
(CoC) proposes to establish the framework for a long-term solution to our community's homelessness
issues through the development of a permanent low-bar/no-bar shelter. Major efforts anticipated
under this task include: 1) Identification of appropriate sites dedicated to this challenge; 2) Develop
conceptual land use studies charged with accommodating between 50 and 100 unsheltered
individuals; 3) Provide supportive environmental reviews of selected sites; 4) Develop business and
operational plan integrating state, county and local supportive services
On June 3, 2020, the City Council reviewed the proposed LEAP grant activities and approved
Resolution No, 2020-114, thereby authorizing staff to submit an application for LEAP grant funds and,
if awarded, authorizing the City Manager to enter into, execute, and deliver on behalf of the City, a
State of California Agreement (Standard Agreement) for the amount of $300,000. The City Manager has
executed the LEAP grant Standard Agreement. By adopting the attached resolution, the City Council
accepts LEAP grant funding in the amount of $300,000 and appropriates those funds accordingly.
FISCAL IMPACT: The LEAP grant will provide $300,000 in funds to support planning
efforts that will promote housing in the City of Lodi.
