As appropriate and available, the CDC will mar,' applications from the following sources: Enterprise Zone/Enterprise Community (EZ/EC) Economic Development Administration (EDA) Department of Health Services (DHS) In addition, the City will implement its anti -poverty strategy through economic development fir. job training programs. Implementation will include the following activities: • Support for job creation programs sponsored by county, state, federal, educational, and private sources. • Coordinate with both public and private organizations in economic development and.job training programs for youth_and adults • Support agencies, such as the MAAC Project, which help people develop the filers needed to secure regular housing and income. D. LEAD -BASED PAINT In 1998, the City passed a resolution to support the County -wide application for LBP se=vices through HUD. Should the County be funded by HUD to provide LBP abatement and rsiar services, the City, along with other participating cities, would support the County in implementing the program. E. INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE This section conrnins a description of the institutional framework through which National City will carry out its housing strategy. Public agencies, for -profit and nonprofit private organizations all play a part in the provision of affordable housing and support services. The roles of the organizations are discussed in this section. This section also conrnins discussion about potential gaps in the delivery system of housing in National City and how the City plans to address those gaps.

National City Planning Department Although not a direct housing provider, the Planning Department performs functions which directly atiect the development and rehabilitation of housing implemented by the CDC including the administration of the CDBG program. The Planning Department oversees the permitting process and regulates compliance with zoning and building codes. The Planning Department is responsible for long—range planning, which includes preparation of the City's Housing Element, and conducting. updates to the Element at least every five years. 2. NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS a. Non -Profit Organizations for Affordable Housing The San Diego Community Foundation: The Community Foundation of San Diego County, with assets in the ==0 million range. provides grants to charitable and housing development nonprofit organizations for predeveiopment costs, staffing and capacity training as well as the provision of services to the community.

The City will set -aside a portion of HOME funds for development of affordable housing by a CHDO in National City. The CDC will continue to work with SBCS to fully develop an emergency shelter program for victims of domestic violence. 3. PRIVATE INDUSTRY a. For -profit Developers and Builders For -profit housing. developers have been constrained in the recent past by a temporary building moratorium on multi -family housing. Even when that moratorium is lifted however, for profit developers and builders may still have difficulty finding appropriate sites for multi -family development, obtaining adequate financing from private sources, and constructing housing that is affordable to low and moderate income renters and home buyers. Many of the housing developers have participated in multi -family housing density bonus programs, tax-exempt bond financing, and single-family, tax-exempt housing finance programs- The Building Indust-... Association (BIA) of San Diego County includes housing development industry members. They have provided a crucial role in the development of housing in San Diego County. However, this industry has been beset with high land costs, rising impact fees. and other related costs, all of which have contributed to San Diego County being one of the highest housing cost areas in the United States. Local governments also lack funds to respond to all the needs of special needs groups such as the homeless. Because local governments are experiencing severe financial constraints, local government capacity will be limited in the level of program initiation to meet all of the needs identified in this plan. City of National City HUD Consolidated ?'.ay Action Plan for FY 1999-2900 IPIEMICZMPE Local governments are limited legally in solving the undocumented migrant worker housing and related human service needs. These unmet needs are a result of Federal legal, financial and structural limitations that prevent Federal, State and local agencies from legally providing -min services to undocumented individuals. b. Lenders Private lending institutions provide funds for housing development and rehabilitation. Accusing to the City's Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, data on lending history National City disclosed under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act indicated that over 700 home purchase and improvement loans were issued in National City in 1994. The HMDA data indicated that mortgage financing was generally available, with only 18 percent of the m ge loan applications were denied by lenders. However, there was a demonstrated need to imarave the availability of home improvement/rehabilitation financing. The 1994 ELNIDA data ii d,"rrp-3 33 percent of the home improvement loan applications in National City we=e denied. The Consolidated Plan identifies new sources of financing, including the Federal Home Loan Bank, and the California Housing Finance Agency, to expand the availability of residenriai financing m the community. _ _ _ ._ c. Private Foundations - There are currently no private foundations in National City in which funding is available for low income housing or housing services. 4. OVERCOMING DELIVERY SYSTEM GAPS a. Assessment The housing delivery system in National City continues to provide opportunities for increses o the housing inventory. The scarcity of vacant land does result in the need for increased le w:s of City development review involvement since much of the City's vacant land inventory invoices "constrained" lands. "Constrained" lands typically require more involvement,. (such as u.L.. complex environmental, physical design, and engineering review), of City Depa T ---rc responsible for development review. In the recent past, the City has been working with the development community in revisions m the condominium conversion ordinance to minimize the requirements associated with the physci upgrading of infrastructure (sewer), Limits in the availability of public funding sources also results in a "gap" in the housing deli'. z system. Availability of funds for the production of housing which is affordable to National C r •-ss lower income households generally requires some form of government subsidy, necessirari•-a- a close working relationship between the public and private sector. City of National City HUD Consolidated Plan 23 Action Plan for FY 1999-7'00 b. Strategy to Overcome Gaps Actions to Strengthen, Coordinate and Integrate the Governmental Institutional, Nonprofit and Private Delivery Systems, by Sector: Units of Government: The National City CDC in conjunction with South Bay communing agencies, nonprofit and private development and banking industry representatives will estabii ongoing networks to exchange information and promote inter jurisdictional cooperation. T� CDC will provide a forum for the mutual interchange of information to strengthen the hour, development and delivery system. Nonprofit O banirvrions: As mentioned above, the nonprofit community and housi development nonprofit organizations recently formed a County -wide organization to strengthen^. the capacity of nonprofits to develop whole communities and affordable housing. TT` membership includes representatives from government, private banking and hour development businesses. This organization will play a critical role in facilitating communicate on the issues addressed in the Consolidated Plan. • Banking Industry: The banking industry has been working with the City and County of S Diego Reinvestment Task Force. This Task Force has worked to increase banking involveme= in community and housing development. Representatives of banks are participating on Boards Directors of nonprofits, such as the Nonprofit Federation for Housing and Commum ij Development, San Diego Community Foundation and other task force groups. Bankir-= representatives are participating in the "collaboration" coordinated by the San Diego Commjtu r Foundation Housing Development Industry: The Building Industry Association (BIA) of San Diego Couu_' is conducting a series of meetings to find ways to increase funding sources for housing: Representarves of the Department of Housing and Community Development have attended the meetngs. Thou=t the "Collaborative" mentioned above, the partnerships between govemm= units. nonprofit or=izations, and private developers will be enhanced. F. REDUCTION OF BARRIERS TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING Constraints to the provisions of adequate and affordable housing are posed by both mares conditions and governmental factors. These constraints may result in housing that is ncu affordable to low and moderate income households. or may render residential construed= economically infe m-hie for developers. Constraints to housing production significantly impa✓ households with low and moderate income and special needs. Actions by the City onn have an impact on the price and availability of housing in the City. Land use controls. site i=rovement requirements, building codes, fees, and other local programs m improve :he overallznality of -housing may serve as a constraint to the development of affordahrIe housing_ The following strategies are identified to reduce barriers to affordable housing. Ci:�- or >'aaor. Ga- HL L or:_<c i ?taz 10 .Ac::on Plan for FY 1999-_r.: 1. HOUSING ELEMENT AND CONSOLIDATED PLAN UPDATE In FY 1999-2000, the National City Planning Department will conduct a comprehensive „pie to the five-year Housing EIement of the General Plan, pursuant to State Housing Element la-w. The CDC will also conduct an update to its existing five-year Consolidated Plan for the use of CDBG and HOME funds. Both the Housing Element and Consolidated Plan updates will i t...:ie the City to reevaluate the market and govemmental constraints to affordable honer, development and the effectiveness of current strategies is addressing the bathers, and to de -rise .new strategies as appropriate. 2. LAND USE CONTROLS Housing Options: The Land Use Code provides for the following honaino options which r�^r barriers to affordable housing. They include single-family detached dweillna sinsde- = rT-;ry attached dwellings, mobile home/manufactured housing on a private lot, mobile home is a mobile home park and various size units in multifamily residential structures. Special types of housing include the following: - Roomers and boarders. Ina dwelling unit occupied as a private resiriP-Tc- one or two rooms may be rented and table board provided for a maximum of two paying guess ;a ail residential zones except the RS-1 zone. Boardinghouses or lod 1 ouses for thre` cr more paying guests are allowed by right in the multifamily resiri,ai zones and -.yy conditional use permit in the CT, CL and CG zones. Second units. The City's Land Use Code prohibits second units in the RS-1 and RS-2 zones. It does not prohibit them in the RS-3 zone, nor in the other zones where family residences are located and allowed, i.e., in the RT, CG, CL and CT zones Stare law provides for approval of second units for existing single-amily residences ordinances have not been adopted restricting them. The City's ordinance was adopted with findings specified by State law. The 7r7 "-- acknowledge that the ordinance may limit housing opportunities in the region and adverse impacts which would result from allowing second units within the RS-I and S- 2 zones. Changes in State law which became effective since the City's ordinmac- was adored address the age limitations_of the occupant of the second unit or pr marr itaidence Government Code Section 65852.1 (granny flats), and the size of the second n- (Government Code Sections 65852.1 and 65852.2). The size criteria was changed �..�.. 640 sq. fr. to 1200 sq. ft. for a detached second unit and to an amount not esce& • of the living area of the existing residence for an attached second :mit. - Family foster care (authorized, certified or licensed by the State; conditional use permit in all residential zones. is allowedy Residential care homes (authorized. certified or Iicensed by the State: serving six or fz persons are allowed by right in all residential zones. Ciry of National Ciro- HUD Consolidated Plan :0 'DIfor7.- :cae._.__r47 Small homes for battered women serving six or fewer persons are allowed by right in any lawfully established single-family residence. Large homes for battered women serving seven to twelve persons may be permitted in any zone allowing single-family residential land uses and within a lawfully established single-family residence upon issuance by the planning director of a home for battered women permit. Large homes for battered women serving thirteen or more persons may be allowed by conditional use permit in any institutional zone, any zone allowing single-family residential land uses and any commercial zone except CA (commercial automotive). Cerrain other types of group care facilities, classified as Use Group 8, are allowed by right in any institutional zone and by conditional use permit in any commercial zone except CA.. Combining and Special Purpose Zones: The Land Use Code contains combining and special purpose zones which modify the underlying zone. Most of the combining zones provide for greater development flexibility. Examples of these zones are: Planned Unit Development Combining Zone (PUD), which is intended to encourage imacrina#ve planning and design in the development of land. This zone is permitted on residentially zoned land only. The City Council may grant a planned unit development permit allowing exceptions from requirements of the zoning regulations and subdivision regulations of the Land Use Code otherwise applicable to the site, when such exceptions are determined to be in the public interest. Planned Development Combining Zone (PD), which requires a planned development permit except for single-family dwellings on vacant lots. Specific Plan Combining Zone (SP), which requires compliance with adopted specific plan. Redevelopment Area Combining Zone (RD), which requires compliance with adopted redevelopment plan. 3. DEVELOPiS'[EN T COSTS AND FEES The cost of development is a constraint to the implementation of affordable housing projects. The cost of land is the most critical factor affecting the development of affordable housing in San Diego County. Through the policies and programs of the Housing Element, the City proposes to monitor all regulations_ ordinances. departmental processing procedures. and residential fees to assess their impact on housing costs. and will offer reduced development fees for the provision of affordable and senior citizen housing. Ciry of Nationli Cie. HUD Consoiid=red P!= =1 Action Plan for FY 1999-2000 4. BUILDING CODES AND ENFORCEMENT The City of National City has adopted the Uniform Building Code (1988). This code is considered to be the minimum necessary to protect the public health, safety and wei re.. No local amendment to the code has either been initiated or approved which directly ifre"- standards or processes. In 1984, the City adopted the Property Conservation and Community Ancecrance Code_ The purpose of the code is "to provide for the systematic and orderly regulation of activities a ' the usefulness, quality, appearance and protection of private and public piwerty and the 1� environment of the community, to stem and dissuade the proliferation of blight, to st= iiiz property values through property maintenance and upkeep, to enhance the community -;maw a safe and desirable place to reside, and to achieve a workable interrelationship and common -run among the various city departments in these endeavors." The code is enforced by enforcement officers. The Property Conservation and Appearance Code serves to preserve and enhance neighborhoods. The Code is not a barrier to housing development 5. LOCAL PROCESSING AND PERMIT PROCEUDURES Excessive permit processing times may potentially increase development costs_ The slow of development in the City relative to the region, as well as the small number of City staff -_- crows for relatively rapid processing of permit applications. In addition, the City has fore r e Development Services Group to provide coordinated review by the City, 's Building, Planning, Fire and Police Departments, with a single location to submit applications and - information. Permit processing is rapid. Objectives for completion of permit processing are — days maximum for site plan review, although most cases are reviewed by the P'- Department within two -days of receipt of plans. Discretionary review of conditional use and variances takes longer, typically two to three months. Time requtreme is for muc:_ t activity is related primarily to the ability of applicants to provide necessary, complete information and to State requirements for public review. Because of rapid processing, priority is not needed for expediting review of affordable c--=—� projects. The needs of the City to attract higher quality housing and other developmen1 aso require expediting. Otherwise, higher processing costs could result in lower quality or ioss of potential development. Site Development Plan: The primary source of residential permit review activity is the development plan. Both single-family dwelling units and multi -family resider nui require approval of a site development plan. The purpose of the site plan review :s .o compliance with specified requirements and to attach conditions to assure such ^ompiiance_ Given the fact that the City is an older, developed community, the site de:-elotmet-_ _r requirement serves the desired purpose of maintaining and enhancing residential ar. process. itself. is not lengthy or costly. The site plan review process is the Pi ---^ink City of National City HUD Consolidated Plan =2 Actac_P'_= for - __ ■] plan check for building permits. Although the site development plan may be subject to environmental review, usually this is not necessary for residential permits. The applicant can appeal the Department's decision on a site development plan to the Commission. The applicant or an opponent can appeal the Commission's decision to the City Council. The City Council, on its own motion, may also appeal the Commission's decision. Residential Inftll Design Guidelines: In 1991, the City adopted Design Guidelines, which include guidelines for residential infill development. The intent of the guidelines is to encourage the general upgrading of residential neighborhoods by providing a guide for integrating new residential projects and additions into the existing context of the neighborhood. Guidelines for multiple family infill projects address architectural considerations, site design considerations, security considerations, and screening of storage and equipment areas. Guidelines for single family infill projects address architectural considerations and site design considerations. The guidelines are used in conjunction with site plan review. The Design Guidelines provide assistance to developers because they illustrate effective means to improve the architeemral quality of housing projects and satisfy City objectives for neighborhood preservation and improvement. Projects proposed since adoption of the Design Guidelines have required changes subsequent to submittal to conform with the Guidelines. Design changes would have been needed even without applicable guidelines. The City's Design Guidelines may be considered to reduce rather than increase development costs by assisting the design review process. Although additional design details may be needed for projects to satisfy the Design Guidelines they have not resuuited in high rent projects. The possibility that the Design Guidelines could result in financial hardship is addressed by the Guidelines themselves. The Guidelines authorize exceptions for hardships which could result from their application. Variances: The City s variance requirements are typical of other jurisdictions and conform to the requirements of stare law. The decision making body is the Planning Commission, with the decision appealable :o the City Council. 6. REDUCTION OF BARRIERS THROUGH INCENTIVES The City of National City offers a number of incentives to encourage property owners to develop affordable housing- These incentives are summarized below. Density Bonus Polices: These policies which allow more units to be built than allowed by zoning laws if there _ a commitment to reserve a specified percentage of units for lower -income households for a _zecified period of time. Density bonus policies are also used to provide housing for the eideriv. State law now requires local governments to provide density bonus incentives for the de--eiopment of lower-incomehousing. Development ..1greerr:enrs: Local governments and developers may enter into a development agreement wherein -._ local government agrees to "freeze" certain land use regulations on the City of `ationai Ciry HUD Consolidated P1_. Action Plan for FY 1000_7000 project property in exchange for various benefits desired by the governmental agency. A benefit can be the reservation of a specified percentage or number of units for lower -income households for a specified period of time. Benefits can also be desired community facilities. Exemptions: Local governments can encourage the provision of affordable housing by exempting such projects from the payment of certain fees or the application of certain regulations. Reduced Parking Requirements: Reduction in parking requirements can make the difference in whether an affordable housing project is feasible. Reduced parking requirements are particularly appropriate for projects' housing populations who do not have a high incidence of car ownership (such as the elderly, the handicapped, and very low-income households), for projects located near public transportation, and for projects required to provide transportation for their residents_ Second Units: State law conditionally allows the addition of a second unit on a residP^ria11y- zoned lot which already contains a single-family dwelling. Amendment of zoning ordinanc- to allow second units complying with State criteria would increase the number of affordable units and benefit both the homeowner and the renter. Fast -Track Processing for Affordable Housing Projects: National City has a policy to fast - track affordable housing projects. This means that permits associated with the project are to be given priority processing, to reduce costs associated with time -delays_ Technical Assistance to Developers of Affordable Housing. National City can provide technical assistance to developers of affordable housing_ The provision of such assistance reduces the cost of the project. G. ACTIONS TO FURTHER FAIR HOUSING _ In 1996, the City conducted an Analysis of Impediments (AI) to Fair Housing Choice as rewired by HUD. The AI includes a number of recommendations to further fair- housing in National City. These include: • Continue to monitor HNIDA data for potential lending discrimination • Expand public outreach and educational efforts to address underreporting of discrimination. • Report to the Mayor on fair housing activities • Hire a fair housing agency to implement a comprehensive fair housing program • Allocate funding to conduct a fair housing audit In response to the AL the City has been contracting with the Fair Housing Council of San Diego (FHCSD) since 1997 to implement a comprehensive fair housing program for National City_ The FHCSD program has the following goals: • Offer comprehensive bilingual (English/Spanish/Other) housing discrimination services designed to serve a diverse population of housing consumers and providers. City of National City HUD Consolidated Plan Ac:-.:on Plan for FY I 000__'00 • Offer preventive services through the conduct of outreach and education activities which are tailored to inform the general public about the legal sources of fair housing rights, responsibilities, and remedies. • Provide technical training for owners, managers, lenders, and insurers to effect increased compliance. • Receive, investigate, and verify, through tests where appropriate, and resolve through conciliation or referral to an enforcement entity, bona -fide housing discrimination complaints. • Conduct housing discrimination audits (tests), where funding permits, designed to measure the level of compliance with fair housing laws and also to provide substantive definition of the type and nature of particular housing discrimination problems in the City. • Provide advocacy for equal housing opportunities for all persons. • Support and assist the City in meeting its obligation under the Consolidated Planning process to engage in an ongoing analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. For FY 1999-2000, the FHCSD has requested $10,000 in CDBG funding to continue to implement the comprehensive fair housing program for National City. H. COORDINATION To enhance the coordination and delivery of housing and related services provided by public, private, and other agencies, National City and the CDC have been engaged in the following activities: • Working with Nonprofit Housing Agencies and Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) - National City and the CDC is actively working with three non- profit housing organizations: MAAC Project, CU and SBCS. It is the City's strategy to work with these CHDOs and other non-profit housing organizations to monitor the status of potential and planning affordable housing projects. The City will also encourage social service providers to work with developers and CHDOs which receive Redevelopment/City assistance to provide "service enriched housing." Services could include health care referrals, financial counseling, and case management. • Identifying Special Needs - For purposes of five-year Consolidated Plan, SANDAG administered two separate surveys: "Profiling Homeless Facilities and Resources'' and "Survey of Services and Facilities for Persons with Special Needs." Survey results were incorporated into Appendix C of the five-year Consolidated Plan. These surveys provided information for the City and CDC to better understand and coordinate the provision of supportive housing and other related services to City residents with special needs. City of Nattonai Cite HUD Cansoiidared Plan Action Plan for FY 1999-2000 • Coordinating with Other Agencies to Provide Services - To meet the special needs of the community, the CDC collaborates with other County facilities such as the Department of Child Services, the Department of Public Services, Legal Aide, and Social Security. The CDC is also linked with other City departments such as the Planning and Building Departments to serve the housing and employment needs of the residents. In addition to providing out -patient drug and alcohol counseling, MAAC and South Bay Community Services also conduct referrals to residential facilities and detoxification centers. • Target available CDBG funding — Assist county, state, federal, education, and private organizations involved in economic development and job training in targeting their efforts toward those areas of National City exhibiting the greatest need_ • Develop a Collaborative System - Encourage the County Department of Housing and Community Development in its efforts to develop a collaborative system (periodic 1-to-2 days sessions), in conjunction with other local governments, nonprofit and private developers, and financial industry representatives, for mutual exchange of information to strengthen the housing development and delivery system. I. MONITORING Careful evaluation of the housing and public service delivery system can be the most effective tool in detecting gaps and making appropriate modifications. National City has instituted a monitoring plan for subgrantees using the HUD suggested format. This involves in-house review of progress reports and expenditures, and on -site visits to ensure compliance with federal regulations. The system encourages uniform reporting to achieve consistent information on beneficiaries. Technical assistance is provided where necessary. CDBG activities are monitored through monthly appropriations ledgers and progress reports from program managers In addition,- quarterly reports are prepared to track overall expenditure rate. J. HOMELESSNESS The City of National City's strategy to address homelessness consists of the following activities: Activity: National City will continue to partner with the City of Chula Vista and South Bay Community Services, Inc. to provide a 14-unit apartment building in Chula Vista for homeless persons. - Activity: NL-3AC will provide referrals and emergency services to homeless persons. Activity: CDC staff will continue to coordinate with regional county efforts of FEMA.

The City Council granted a special permit for connection of the property to the City sewer system last fall, with conditions to assure subsequent annexation. The property owner filed an application for annexation with LAFCO, which was approved on April 5. LAFCO has also authorized the City to conduct proceedings, without notice and hearing, to order the annexation. Staff has been contacted by the chairman of the Lower Sweetwater Fire Protection District, who is against the proposal. The City Fire Department serves the unincorporated Lincoln Acres area under contract with the Fire Protection District.

This benefit is mandated by MOU's with each employee group. Each year this account is funded based on the historical use of these funds at approximately 15% of the potential cost. However, with a significant increase in new young employees in recent years, especially in the Police, Fire and Finance Departments, the estimates based on the historical use of these costs have not held true, and it is necessary to transfer $12,000 from reserves in order to comply with this mandated benefit.

A-200 (9/80) COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT May 4, 1999 (Continued) EXPLANATION: On April 20, 1999, the City Council received public comment and testimony from several community organizations in utrl to proposed capital projects and public service programs, as well as the draft 1999-00 Consolidated Plan Annual Plan (CPAP) document (See Attachment 3). Per HUD regulations, the City must hold a 30 day comment period for the public to review the 1999-00 CPAP and to make comments or suggest changes. This 30 day period started Apn13, 1999 and ended May 3, 1999. All public comment received during the 30 day period has been included in today's final draft of the 1999-00 CPAP document. Both CDBG and HOME recommendations have been provided for Council consideration by the Housing & Community Development Committee and CDC staff (Attachment 1 and 2). Please see the following project descriptions and comments for the CDBG and HOME Programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Summary of Recommended Budget for 1999-00 Administration & Planning $ 85,000 Public Services $ 210,750 Commmi y Projects $ 92,235 City CIF $1,017,015 Total $1,405,04)0 Administration & Plarmmp Staff is recommending $75,000 for the expenses related to the general coordination, supervision, and management of the CDBG Program. A half-time accountant in the Finance DLptut ut will be fimded by a portion of these finds. This amount ($75,000) represents only 5% of entire CDBG grant Per CDBG regulations, the City is allowed to utilize up to a maximum of 20% or $281,000 on Administration & Planning. Facilitation of a Fair Housing Program is required by HUD for all cities receiving CDBG funds. Staff is recommending that the City Council set -aside $10,000 for this purpose. Page 1 of 4 Public Services For the Public Services category of the budget, a total of $210,750 or 15% of the CDBG grant can be spent on public services. This year, staff is recommending that the entire 15% be allocated with funding going to several non-profit programs, the CDC Nutrition Program, the COPS Program, and other City services. It is important to be clear on the impact that Public Service programs could have on the City's General Fund or other fiords. The following table shows the "City and CDC" programs that are currently requested for the next fisal year. Current Tab # Program Request 2 Nutrition Program $ 50,000 6 Graffiti (25%) $ 18,875 8 Swim Program $ 21,000 9 Tmy Tots $ 18,000 10 COPS (original) $ 135,107 11 Literacy Program $ 55,000 TOTAL $297,982 Less Avail Funding ($210,750) Deficit $87,232 If the City Council chooses to find the above City programs at these levels, then there will be a $87,232 deficit. Presumably, at budget time, the difference would be made out of the City's General Fund or other source(s) would be considered. Even if we are able to make this $87,232 difference up from some other funding source, this still does not address the fact that funding the City's programs at the above levels necessarily means that none of the other Public Service programs could be funded. Within Public Services there are simply not enough dollars to go around. City CEP & Community Projects Staff is recommending that Civic Center Drive/National City Boulevard Streetscape be the priority project this year. Staff plans to seek finding from the Port District (approximately 1/3 of the total project cost of $2.4 million) later this year for the portion of the project west and directly east of I-5. Staff is also recommending that $50,000 be allocated to perform a space needs analysis and preliminary site review study for the construction of a new main fire station. Approximately $15,000 of these funds would also be used to hire a Section 108 loan consultant to begin the application process with Page 2 of 4 HUD. It usually takes at least one year to get a 108 loan approved. Briefly, a Section 108 consists of a 100% federal guarantee against the sale of local notes by the City. The cost of issuance is kept low by HUD, which packages the notes from around the country and issues them through a limited number of underwriting houses and banks. The City can receive a 108 loan equivalent to five times its anrn,nl CDBG entitlement, this would be around $7,000,000. The City must pledge its fixture CDBG entitlements to HUD to pay back the loan, as well as additional security (ie. General Funds). Staff will have financial projections of what the debt service payment will be on a 108 for today's meeting. However, figuring a $5,000,000 loan over 20 years, the arnmal debt service payment would be approximately $250,000-$275,000. Note: CDBG can only be used to fund approximately 70% of the new fire station. Approximately 30•% (or whatever amount is determined to be the actual cost to construct the administrative portion of the project) must be fundedfrom another source. Other CIPs recommended for finding include Las Palmas Park Well Rehab, Fire Station #15 Emergency Generator, Fire fighting equipment, Highland Ave. Street Lights, and ADA pedestrian ramps. The recommended community projects include the graffiti program, housing inspection program (CDC to pay other 50% or S30.000) and the stabilization of the Granger Music Hail. HOME Investment Partnership Act (HOME) Recommended Budget for 1999-00 Administration $ 63,200 CDC Administration CHDO Operations $ 15,000 CHDO (ie. Christmas in July) Cons4uction $278,300 New Construction/For-Sale Housing Acquisition $250,000 First-time Homebuyers Rental Assistance $ 25,000 Domestic Violence TOTAL $632,000 HOME funds are restricted to providing housing assistance for fm,lies with a total household income under 80% of: the County median income. HOME funds can be used for Administration, Rehabilitation, New Construction, First-time Homebuyers, and Rental Assistance. Administration (CDC) For both staff options. $63,200 is being recommended for administration of the HOME program including general ove sight, monitoring and management of the program. HUD allows 10% of the grant amount to be utilized for this purpose. Page 3 of 4 Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) A minimum of 15% of the HOME funds, or $94,800, must be used by a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) for affordable housing purposes. First -Time Homebuyers Staff is recommending $250,000 be utilized for this purpose. These funds will be used in conjunction with CDC's Low to Moderate -Income Housing Fund. When homebuyers have income below 80% of County median HOME funds can be used. Buyers with income between 80% and 120% of County median are assisted with Low/Mod funds. New Construction Staff is recommending $278,800 be used to promote the new construction of for -sale housing. Tenant -Based Rental Assistance Staff recommends that $25,000 again be reserved to assist victims of domestic violence with their housing needs. This will be the second year of a three year grant with South Bay Community Services.

This Plan outlines the action steps that National City will take to address community development and housing needs in the City. The Plan includes a listing of all activities that the City will undertake during Fiscal Year 1999-2000 (July 1, 1999 through June 30, 2000) ,utilizing Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships Act (HOME) funds. National City anticipates receiving $1,405,000 in CDBG and $632,000 in HOME entitlement allocations for fiscal year 1999-2000. The CDBG- and HOME -funded activities identified in this Draft Action Plan represent all the requests for CDBG and HOME funding by social service agencies and City departments. On April 20, a public hearing before the City Council will be held to discuss the funding requests, as well as recommendations from the Housing and Community Development Committee (HCDC). On May 4, a second public hearing will be conducted, where the City Council will make its final decisions on the allocation of funds. Appendix A contains spreadsheets detailing the funding requested by service agencies and City departments. The spreadsheets also identify the projects recommended for funding by the Housing and Community Development Committee. The Listing of Proposed Projects which details the eligibility and proposed accomplishments of each project submitted to HUD for final approval. This Listing will be prepared once final allocations have been determined by the City Council. In establishing five-year priorities in the 1995-2000 Consolidated Plan, the City of National City addressed two issues of primary concern: 1) those categories of low and moderate income households most in need of housing and community development assistance; and 2) activities to best meet the needs of those households. A priority need ranking has been assigned to households to be assisted under each priority action according to the following HUD ranking: High Priority: Activities to address this need will be funded by the City 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. Also, the City may take other actions to help this group locate other sources of funds. Low Priority: The City will not directly fund activities to address this need during the five-year period, but other entities' application for federal assistance might be supported and found to be consistent with this Plan. In order to commit CDBG Program monies to a Low Priority activity, the City would have to amend this Consolidated Plan through the formal process required by the HUD Regulations. No Such Need: The City finds there is no need or that this need is already substantially addressed. The City will not support other entities applications for federal assistance for activities where no such need has been identified. City of National City HUD Consolidated Plan 1 Action Plan for FY 1999-2000 The description of National City's priority needs focuses on those activities identified as High or Medium Priorities the Five -Year Consolidated Plan Priority Needs Table. The implementing programs identified rely upon funding available from federal, state, county and local sources. The Summary is divided into the following general categories of priority need: 1. Housing Needs; 2. Homeless Needs; 3. Special Needs Populations; 4. Non -Housing Community Development Needs; 4a. Community Facilities; 4b. Infrastructure Needs; 4c. Community Services; 4d. Accessibility Needs; 4e. Economic Development needs; 4f. Other community development needs. City of National City HUD Consolidated Plan Action Plan for FY 1999-2000 1. PRIORITY HOUSING NEEDS The following section describes the activities proposed by social service agencies and City departments for the next program year, July 1, 1999 through June 30, 2000. These activities are grouped according to the priority housing needs identified in the 1995-2000 Consolidated Plan Five -Year Strategic Plan (91.215). These proposed activities represent requests for funding only. Final allocations will be determined after the presentations on April 20 by service agencies, and the public hearing and City Council review of the requests on May 4. PRIORITY #1.1: Increase the supply of affordable housing through new construction and rehabilitation. Priority Needs/Target Groups: Medium Priority is assigned to addressing the affordable housing supply needs of lower income elderly renters (0-50 percent MFI) and low/moderate income first-time homebuyers (31-80 percent MFI). Five -Year Objectives: Achieve the creation of 76 senior rental dwelling units and 25 single-family for -sale units. Activities Completed in 1997-98: A total of 5 single family homes were constructed. (80-95 percent MFI). 15 single-family homes were rehabilitated through the CU Program (31-80 percent MFI). 268 apartment units received major renovation (50-80 percent MFI). Activities Completed in 1998-99: 15 homes were rehabilitated through the CU Program (31-80 percent 11v1-1). The City/Community. Development Commission (CDC) approved the construction and rehabilitation of an affordable housing project at "Q" Avenue. A non-profit housing corporation, SOCAL, will purchase, rehabilitate and manage the 134 units and will also provide social services to tenants. The City will contribute S6.8 million in redevelopment housing monies for this project. Implementing Programs in 1999-2000:: HOlvIE Program: The HCDC recommends allocation of S278,800 in HOME construction of new for -sale housing units. The HCDC also recommends allocating S 15,000 for a Community Housing Organization (CHDO) to operate the Christmas in July (CU) program. funds for the Development PRIORITY #1.2: Provide housing opportunities for first-time homebuyers. Priority Needs/Target Groups: High Priority is assigned to addressing the homeownership needs of low/moderate income renter households (31-80 percent MFI). Five -Year Objectives: Assist 50 renter households of lower and moderate income to become homeowners. City of National City HLD Consolidated Plan 3 Action Plan for FY 1999-2000 Activities Completed in 1997 98: The CDC assisted 34 first-r irr= homebuyers to purcL-- a home. A portion of those first time homebuyers will purchase those new single rnii -r-r'- constructed with HOME funds under Priority #1.1. Activities Completed in 1998-99: The CDC assisted 8 first-time homecuyers to purchase (51-120% MFI). Implementing Programs in 1999-2000:: First -Time Homebuyers Assistance: The Housing and Commune Develcw.nent Corr recommends allocation of $250,000 in HOME funds to provide First-Time=omeur= Assistance. As part of the First Time Homebuyers Program, the City has deveio a "7:, Second Trust Deed Loan Program. Under this program, the loan arre7r,r is "silent," mrnrtr---= there are no payments on the second mortgage until the loan comes e_ Tne loan, which . as a down payment, ranges from one to 15 percent of the purchase, nn to $154 00, de_oenrr pia household income. Continued affordability is ensured by requiring repayment of the loan the home is sold, refinanced, or transferred, or at the end of 30 year_ Federal Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC): The Mortgage Credit Certificate Prc4 authorized by Congress in the Tax Reform Act of 1984, is an airy-ar=tie to mort`ge��P- t� bond -backed financing as a means of providing financial assisri*ir- for the purchase of =r family housing. In 1985, the State adopted legislation authorizing 'e i bond sluing age�.� m make MCCs available in California. The amount of allocation is conv=ted to an MCC allocation on a 4 to 1 ratio. This -program is designed to benefit firs Ume homebuye of nr existing housing units throughout National City. In addition, a local ,oiicy derision 71-2s set an additional 20 percent of the MCC allocation for low income hou_s_ olds. The MCC operates as an IRS tax credit.

Activities Completed in 1998-99: The installation of ADA pedestrian ramps was completed at various CDBG-eligible locations in the City. Implementing Programs in 1999-2000:. ADA Improvement Programs: The. City of National City is working to comply with ADA. When it upgrades playground equipment, facilities, and parks, the City must ensure that the location is accessible. The Building Department has identified nine priority buildings for ADA modifications to building/facility access including restrooms, drinking fountains and pedestrian ramps. These buildings include the Library, Public Works Administration Offices, Las Palmas Park, El Toyon Park and Recreation Center, the Civic Center, Casa de Salud (multi -cultural center), Kimball Park and Bowl, the 16th Street Fire Station and the 24th Street Fire Station. e. Economic Development PRIORITY #4.e.1: Provide for the economic development needs of lower and moderate income target areas. Priority Needs/Target Groups: High Priority is assigned to addressing lower and moderate income needs for the creation of new jobs and commercial -industrial improvements. Medium Priority is assigned to business support services, technical assistance, and commercial -industrial City of National City HUD Consolidated Plan is Action Plan for FY 1999-2000 rehabilitation and infrastructure. Medium Priority is also assigned to non-residential historic preservation needs. Five -Year Objectives: Attempt to maximize the effectiveness of available CDBG funds for economic development consistent with the urgency of the established need and the availability of other reliable long-term funding for the facilities. Activities Completed in 1997-98: CDBG funds were utilized for the completion of public improvements along National City Boulevard from 18th to 33rd Streets (Mile of Cars). Redevelopment and Port District funding was utilized to begin the process of acquiring several blighted commercial/industrial properties located in the Harbor District. Activities Completed in 1998-99: Redevelopment and Port District funding was utilized to acquire 50 percent of the blighted commercial/industrial properties located in the Harbor District. The historical restoration of the 1882 Santa Fe Depot was completed in December 1998. The CDC will continue to review and study the feasibility of a commercial development in the downtown area, and assist in the development of a medical office building at 1428 Highland Avenue. Implementing Programs in 1999-2000: ACCION San Diego: This organization has requested $ 10,000 to support marketing and outreach activities in order to provide small business loans to businesses that cannot otherwise qualify for credit from banks. ACCION provides technical assistance, guidance and support in building the skills necessary to compete in the larger commercial sector. Community Development Block Grant: CDBG funds can be utilized for commercial -industrial improvements and for the creation of new jobs. The City will utilize, to the greatest extent possible, the use of other CDBG/HUD related funding programs such as the Section 108, Economic Development Initiative and Enterprise/Community Zone (EZ/EC) Programs. City -Sponsored Economic Development Programs The National City Community Development Commission and the National. City Chamber of Commerce work within the City to encourage economic growth and development. Economic Development Programs Sponsored by other Organizations: County, State, and Federal governments sponsor a number of other economic development programs. County Programs San Diego Community Foundation State Programs California Trade and Commerce Agency - Team California State of California Employment Development Department (EDD) Port of San Diego Federal Programs School -to -Work Opportunities Program City of National City HUD Consolidated Plan 19 Action Plan for FY 1999-2000 Jobs Training Partnership Program (JTPA) Older Workers Program Dislocated Worker Program On -the -Job Training Summer Youth Employment Training Program Youth Employment Program Vocational Program Department of Transportation f. Other Community Development PRIORITY #4.f.1: Provide for necessary planning activities to develop both housing and community development plans to address anticipated need.

Five -Year Objectives: Maintain an effective code enforcemeint program, and annually review application of the Consolidated Plan and update the Action Plan and other components as necessary. Activities Completed in 1997-98: As part of the City's CDBG and HOME program administration, the City developed the 1997-98 Action Plan in compliance with HUD regulations. In addition, the City's very effective code enforcement program continued its revitalization efforts in targeted neighborhoods. Activities completed in 1998-99: An 1998-99 Action Plan, and other HUD -required planning documents were developed. In addition, the City implemented a code enforcement program targeting neighborhoods with high code violation rates. Implementing Programs in 1999-2000: - City Code Enforcement Program: The City requires corrections of code violations, and it offers low interest home improvement loans to households which need the funds in order to comply with codes. Housing Inspection Program: The City has requested 560,000 in CDBG funds to support the Housing Inspection Program, which involves the identification of all rental dwelling units in National City and the inspection of the units to ensure they are in compliance with the State Housing Law. The funds will be used to retain a full-time Housing Inspector to inspect all rental dwelling, units. CDBG and HOME Administration: Administration of CDBG funds is an ongoing function performed by CDC staff. The City has requested 575,000 in CDBG funds and 563,200 in HOME funds to provide for administration and planning costs of the CDBG and HOME programs.

ANTI -POVERTY STRATEGY As a means of reducing the number of persons with incomes below the poverty line, the City will coordinate its efforts with those of other public and private organizations providing economic development and job training programs. As appropriate and available, the CDC will make applications from the following sources: Enterprise Zone/Enterprise Community (EZ/EC) Economic Development Administration (EDA) Department of Health Services (DHS) In addition, the City will implement its anti -poverty strategy through economic development and job training programs. Implementation will include the following activities: • Support for job creation programs sponsored by county, state, federal, educational, and private sources. • Coordinate with both public and private organizations in economic development and job training programs for youth and adults. • Support agencies, such as the MAAC Project, which help people develop the skills needed to secure regular housing and income. D. LEAD -BASED PAINT In 1998, the City passed a resolution to support the County -wide application for LBP services through HUD. Should the County be funded by HUD to provide LBP abatement and related services, the City, along with other participating cities, would support the County in implementing the program. E. INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE This section contains a description of the institutional framework through which National City will carry out its housing strategy. Public agencies, for -profit and nonprofit private organizations all play a part in the provision of affordable housing and support services. The roles of these organizations are discussed in this section. This section also contains discussion about potential gaps in the delivery system of housing in National City and how the City plans to address those gaps. City of National City HUD Consolidated Plan 24 Action Plan for FY 1999-2000 1. PUBLIC AGENCIES a. City of National City Community Development Commission The National City Community Development Commission (CDC) - is the redevelopment agency and the housing authority operating within National City. The Housing and Community Development Committee reviews the Block Grant Program and the Housing Programs of the CDC and makes its recommendations to the CDC and the City Council. Principal Programs Administered by CDC: a. Community Development: HOME Program Community Development Block Grant Housing Development Administration (Including planning) Housing Rehabilitation Redevelopment b. Housing Rental Assistance: Section 8 Certificate & Voucher Programs Federal Rental Rehabilitation Program Morgan Tower and Kimball Tower, 300 units for the elderly c. National City Nutrition Project for the elderly b. National City Planning Department Although not a direct housing provider, the Planning Department performs functions which directly affect the development and rehabilitation of housing implemented by the CDC including the administration of the CDBG program. The Planning Department oversees the permitting process and regulates compliance with zoning and building codes. The Planning Department is responsible for long. -range planning, which includes preparation of the City's Housing Element, and conducting updates to the Element at least every five years. 2. NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS a. Non -Profit Organizations for Affordable Housing The San Diego Community Foundation: The Community Foundation of San Diego County, with assets in the S ,0 million range, provides grants to charitable and housing development nonprofit organizations for predevelopment costs, staffing and capacity training as well as the provision of services to the community. It is playing a very significant role in developing a City of National City HUD Consolidated Plan 2� Action Plan for FY 1999-2000 "collaborative" (a forum of government, nonprofit and private industry representatives to : sc•.iss means of improving the affordable housing development system) for housing support marts. The collaboration includes representatives from the banking industry, nonprofit sport organizations, the Housing Commission of the City of San Diego, and the County of San Diego Department of Housing and Community Development. It meets twice monthly to discuss 3s of promoting and supporting affordable housing efforts, especially by nonprofit organizat=cn . San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG): SANDAG plays a siPnificant role in assisting local governments prepare housing development plans, especially the Housing Eements required by State law for each City. SANDAG also functions as an important clearinghouse for housing development information and training center for legal requirements of ton g development and related affordable housing programs. Local Incentives Support Corporation (LISC): LISC is a national -level nonprofit organ -=rion dedicated to the development of communities and affordable housing. LISC maintains a San Diego office, which works directly with community development corporations (CDCs) to increase their output of affordable housing, and to a lesser extent, other physical develut..:aents designed to serve lower -income residents of San Diego County. T TSC trains CDC-spcnsored projects (including pre -development grants, site acquisition loans, and other commirr:—rc to help leverage private and public resources), and coordinates access for CDCs to loci and national technical assistance and provides direct assistance when necessary. California Housing Partnership Corporation (CHPC): HPC was created by the Cai=ria Legislature to preserve affordable housing for low and very low-income households. C(1) provides technical assistance in the areas of finance and development, property man;, tent evaluation and training, and local programs and strategy development; (2) provides resin± g on such topics as project feasibility analysis, sources of financing, syndication and pptzxne iy management evaluation; and (3) acts as a clearinghouse and information source for issues -7..iated to the preservation of low-incomehousing. CHPC also raises investment capital. CHPC maintains a Southern California office in -San Diego. This office allows CH o participate fully in the nonprofit capacity -building efforts in San Diego, in collaboration San Diego's new LICS office, the Nonprofit Federation for Housing and Community Deveic_._ient; and the San Diego Community Foundation. Nonprofit Supportive Housing and Special Needs Service Organizations: There are -tarty support organizations which include as part of their mission the provision of assist to individuals and families who are at risk of becoming homeless. These include. but not lit- =mod m the following: The Regional Task Force on the Homeless Teaching and Education Retarded Individuals, Inc. Regional Center for the Developmentally Disabled The Access Center of San Diego, Inc. Catholic Charities Emmanuel House Episcopal Community Services Forgotten in America City of National City HUD Consolidated Plan 26 Action P'_an for FY I99;-2OQO Interfaith Shelter Network Metropolitan Area Advisory Committee Project South Bay Consortium St. Vincent de Paul Salvation Army San Diego Rescue Mission San Diego Youth Community Services South Bay Community Services, Inc. Young Women's Christian Association Volunteers of America North County Interfaith Council North County Chaplaincy Community Food Bank of National City b. Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) The City presently works and will continue to work with CHDOs. The two primary CHDOs serving National City are the Metropolitan Area Advisory Committee (MAAC) Project, Christmas in July (CIJ) and South Bay Community Services, Inc. (SBCS). The City will set -aside a portion of HOME funds for development of affordable housing by a CHDO in National City. The CDC will continue to work with SBCS to fully develop an emergency shelter program for victims of domestic violence. 3. PRIVATE INDUSTRY a. For -profit Developers and Builders For -profit housing developers have been constrained in the recent past by a temporary building moratorium on multi -family housing. Even when that moratorium is lifted however, for profit developers and builders may still have difficulty finding appropriate sites for multi -family development, obtaining adequate financing from private sources, and constructing housing that is affordable to low and moderate income renters and home buyers. Many of the housing developers have participated in multi -family housing density bonus programs, tax-exempt bond financing, and single-family, tax-exempt housing finance programs. The Building Industry Association (BIA) of San Diego County includes housing development industry members. They have provided a crucial role in the development of housing in San Diego County. However, this industry has been beset with high land costs, rising impact fees, and other related costs, all of which have contributed to San Diego County being one of the highest housing cost areas in the United States. Local governments also lack funds to respond to all the needs of special needs groups such as the homeless. Because local governments are experiencing severe financial constraints, local government capacity will be limited in the level of program initiation to meet all of the needs identified in this plan. City of National City HUD Consolidated Plan 27 Action Plan for FY 1999-2000 Local governments are limited legally in solving the undocumented migrant worker housing and related human service needs. These unmet needs are a result of Federal legal, financial and structural limitations that prevent Federal, State and local agencies from legally providing certain services to undocumented individuals. b. Lenders Private lending institutions provide funds for housing development and rehabilitation. According to the City's Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, data on lending history in National City disclosed under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act indicated that over 700 home purchase and improvement loans were issued in National City in 1994. The HMDA data indicated that mortgage financing was generally available, with only 18 percent of the mortgage loan applications were denied by lenders. However, there was a demonstrated need to improve the availability of home improvement/rehabilitation financing. The 1994 HMDA data indicated 33 percent of the home improvement loan applications in National City were denied. The Consolidated Plan identifies new sources of financing, including the Federal Home Loan Bank, and the California Housing Finance Agency, to expand the availability of residential financing in the community. c. Private Foundations There are currently no private foundations in National City in which funding is available for low income housing or housing services. 4. OVERCOMING DELIVERY SYSTEM GAPS a. Assessment The housing delivery system in National City continues to provide opportunities for increases to the housing inventory. The scarcity of vacant land does result in the need for increased levels of City development review involvement since much of the City's vacant land inventory involves "constrained" lands. "Constrained" lands typically require more involvement, (such as more complex environmental, physical design, and engineering review), of City Departments responsible for development review. In the recent past, the City has been working with the development community in revisions to the condominium conversion ordinance to minimize the requirements associated with the physical upgrading of infrastructure (sewer). Limits in the availability of public funding sources also results in a "gap" in the housing delivery system. Availability of funds for the production of housing which is affordable to National City's lower income households generally requires some form of government subsidy, necessitating a close working relationship between the public and private sector. City of National City HUD Consolidated Plan 2S Action Plan for FY 1999-2000 b. Strategy to Overcome Gaps Actions to Strengthen, Coordinate and Integrate the Governmental Institutional, Nonprofit and Private Delivery Systems, by Sector: Units of Government: The National City CDC in conjunction with South Bay communities, agencies, nonprofit and private development and banking industry representatives will establish ongoing networks to exchange information and promote inter jurisdictional cooperation. The CDC will provide a forum for the mutual interchange of information to strengthen the housing development and delivery system. Nonprofit Organizations: As mentioned above, the nonprofit community and housing development nonprofit organizations recently formed a County -wide organization to strengthen the capacity of nonprofits to develop whole communities' and affordable housing. The membership includes representatives from government, - private banking and housing development businesses. This organization will play a critical role in facilitating communication on the issues addressed in the Consolidated Plan. Banking Industry: The banking industry has been working with the City and County of San Diego Reinvestment Task Force. This Task Force has worked to increase banking involvement in community and housing development. Representatives of banks are participating on Boards of Directors of nonprofits, such as the Nonprofit Federation for Housing and Community Development, San Diego Community Foundation and other task force groups. Banking representatives are participating in the "collaboration" coordinated by the San Diego Community Foundation. Housing Development Industry: The Building Industry Association (BIA) of San Diego County is conducting a series of meetingsto find ways to increase funding sources for housing.. Representatives of the Department of Housing and Community Development have attended these meetings. Through the "Collaborative" mentioned above, the partnerships between government units, nonprofit organizations,and private developers will be enhanced. F. REDUCTION OF BARRIERS TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING Constraints to the provisions of adequate and affordable housing are posed by both market conditions and governmental factors. These constraints may result in housing that is not affordable to low and moderate income households, or may render residential construction economically infeasible for developers. Constraints to -housing production significantly impact households with low and moderate income and special needs. Actions by the City can have an impact on the price and availability of housing in the City. Land use controls, site improvement requirements, building codes, fees, and other local programs to improve the overall quality of housing may serve as a constraint to the development of affordabie housing. The following strategies are identified to reduce barriers to affordable housing. City of National City HUt) Consolidated Plan 29 Action Plan for FY 1999-2000 1. HOUSING ELEMENT AND CONSOLIDATED PLAN UPDATE In FY 1999-2000, the National City Planning Department will conduct a comprehensive update to the five-year Housing Element of the General Plan, pursuant to State Housing Element law. The CDC will also conduct an update to its existing five-year Consolidated Plan for the use of CDBG and HOME funds. Both the Housing Element and Consolidated Plan updates will require the City to reevaluate the market and governmental constraints to affordable housing development and the effectiveness of current strategies in addressing the barriers, and to devise new strategies as appropriate. 2. LAND USE CONTROLS Housing Options: The Land Use Code provides for the following housing options which reduce barriers to affordable housing. They include single-family detached dwellings, single-family attached dwellings, mobile home/manufactured housing on a private lot, mobile home in a mobile home park and various size units in multifamily residential structures. Special types of housing include the following: Roomers and boarders. In a dwelling unit occupied as a private residence one or two rooms may be rented and table board provided for a maximum of two paying guests in all residential zones except the RS-1 zone. Boardinghouses or lodginghouses for three or more paying guests are allowed by right in the multifamily residential zones and by conditional use permit in the CT, CL and CG zones. Second units. The City's Land Use Code prohibits second units in the RS-1 and RS-2 zones. It does not prohibit them in the RS-3 zone, nor in the other zones where single- family residences are located and allowed, i.e.; in the RT, CG, CL and CT zones. State law provides for approval of second units for existing single-family residences where ordinances have not been adopted restricting them. The City's ordinance was adopted with findings specified by State law. The findings acknowledge that the ordinance may limit housing opportunities in the region and lists adverse impacts which would result from allowing second units within the RS-1 and RS- 2 zones. Changes in State law which became effective since the City's ordinance was adopted address the age limitations of the occupant of the second unit or primary residence under Government Code Section 65852.1 (Fanny flats), and the size of the second unit (Government Code Sections 65852.1 and 65852.2). The size criteria was changed from 640 sq. ft. to 1,200 sq. ft. for a detached second unit and to an amount not exceeding 30% of the living area of the existing residence for an attached second unit. Family foster care (authorized, certified conditional use permit in all residential zones Residential care homes (authorized, certified persons are allowed by right in all residential or licensed by the State) is allowed by or licensed by the State) serving six or fewer zones. City of National City HUD Consolidated Plan 30 Action Plan for FY 1999-2000 Small homes for battered women serving six or fewer persons are allowed by right in any Iawfully established single-family residence. Large homes for battered women serving seven to twelve persons may be permitted in any zone allowing single-family residential land uses and within a lawfully established single-family residence upon issuance by the planning director of a home for battered women permit. Large homes for battered women serving thirteen or more persons may be allowed by conditional use permit in any institutional zone, any zone allowing single-family residential land uses and any commercial zone except CA (commercial automotive). Certain other types of group care facilities, classified as Use Group 8, are allowed by right in any institutional zone and by conditional use permit in any commercial zone except CA. Combining and Special Purpose Zones: The Land Use Code contains combining and special purpose zones which modify the -underlying zone. Most of the combining zones provide for greater development flexibility. Examples of these zones are: Planned Unit Development Combining Zone (PUD), which is intended to encourage imaginative planning and design in the development of land. This zone is permitted on residentially zoned land only. The City Council may grant a planned unit development permit allowing exceptions from requirements of the zoning regulations and subdivision regulations of the Land Use Code otherwise applicable to the site, when such exceptions are determined to be in the public interest. - Planned Development Combining Zone (PD), which requires a planned development permit except for single-family dwellings on vacant lots. Specific Plan Combining Zone (SP), which requires compliance with adopted specific plan. - Redevelopment Area Combining Zone (RD), which requires compliance with adopted redevelopment plan. 3. DEVELOPMENT COSTS AND FEES The cost of development is a constraint to the implementation of affordable housing projects. The cost of land is the most critical factor affecting the development of affordable housing in San Diego County. Through the policies and programs of the Housing Element, the City proposes to monitor ail regulations. ordinances, departmental processing procedures, and residential fees to assess their impact on housing costs, and will offer reduced development fees for the provision of affordable and senior citizen housing. City of Nanonai City HUD Consolidated Plan 31 Action Plan for FY 1999-2000 4. BUILDING CODES AND ENFORCEMENT The City of National City has adopted the Uniform Building Code (1988). This code is considered to be the minimum necessary to protect the public health, safety and welfare. No local amendment to the code has either been initiated or approved which directly affect housing standards or processes. In 1984, the City adopted the Property Conservation and Community Appearance Code. The purpose of the code is "to provide for the systematic and orderly regulation of activities affecting the usefulness, quality, appearance and protection of private and public property and the living environment of the community, to stem and dissuade the proliferation of blight, to stabilize property values through property maintenance and upkeep, to enhance the community image as a safe and desirable place to reside, and to achieve a workable interrelationship and common effort among the various city departments in these endeavors." The code is enforced by City code enforcement officers. The Property Conservation and Appearance Code serves to preserve and enhance residenrial neighborhoods. The Code is not a barrier to housing development. 5. LOCAL PROCESSING AND PERMIT PROCEUDURES Excessive permit processing times may potentially increase development costs. The slow rate of development in the City relative to the region, as well as the small number of City staff, allows for relatively rapid processing of permit applications. In addition, the City has formed the Development Services Group to provide coordinated review by the City's Building, Engineering, Planning, Fire and Police Departments, with a single location to submit applications and obtain information. Permit processing is rapid. Objectives for completion of permit processing are ten days maximum for site plan review, although most cases are reviewed by the Planning - Department within two' days of receipt of plans. Discretionary review of conditional use permits and variances takes longer, typically two to three months., Time requirements for much permit activity is related primarily to the ability of applicants to provide necessary, complete project information and to State requirements for public review. Because of rapid processing, priority is not needed for expediting review of affordable housing projects. The needs of the City to attract higher quality housing and other development also require expediting. Otherwise, higher processing costs could result in lower quality or loss of potential development. Site Development Plan: The primary source of residential permit review activity is the site development plan. Both single-family dwelling units and multi -family residential developments require approval of a site development plan. The purpose of the site plan review is to insure compliance with specified requirements and to attach conditions to assure such compliance. Given the fact that the City is an older, developed community, the site development plan requirement serves the desired purpose of maintaining and enhancing residential areas. The process, itself, is not lengthy or costly. The site plan review process is the Planning Department's City of National City Action Plan for FY 1999-2000 HUD Consolidated Plan plan check for building permits. Although the site development plan may be subject to environmental review, usually this is not necessary for residential permits. The applicant can appeal the Department's decision on a site development plan to the Commission. The applicant or an opponent can appeal the Commission's decision to the City Council. The City Council, on its own motion, may also appeal the Commission's decision.. Residential Infcll Design Guidelines: In 1991, the City adopted Design Guidelines, which include guidelines for residential infill development. The intent of the guidelines is to encourage the general upgrading of residential neighborhoods by providing a guide for integrating new residential projects and additions into the existing context of the neighborhood_ Guidelines for multiple family infill projects address architectural considerations, site design considerations, security considerations, and screening of storage and equipment areas_ Guidelines for single family infill projects address architectural considerations and site desim considerations. The guidelines are used in conjunction with site plan review. The Design Guidelines provide assistance to developers because they illustrate effective means to improve the architectural quality of housing projects and satisfy City objectives for neighborhood preservation and improvement. Projects proposed since adoption of the Design Guidelines have required changes subsequent to submittal to conform with the Guidelines. Design changes would have been needed even without applicable guidelines. The City's Design Guidelines may be considered to reduce rather than increase development costs by assisting the design review process. Although additional design details may be needed for projectsto satisfy the Design Guidelines they have not resulted in high rent projects. The possibility that the Design Guidelines could result in financial hardship is addressed by the Guidelines themselves. The Guidelines authorize exceptions for hardships which could result from their application. Variances: The City's variance requirements are typical of other jurisdictions and conform to the requirements of state law. The decision making body is the Planning Commission, with the decision appealable to the City Council. 6. REDUCTION OF BARRIERS THROUGH INCENTIVES The City of National City offers a number of incentives to encourage property owners to develop affordable housing. These incentives are summarized below. Density Bonus Policies: These policies which allow more units to be built than allowed by zoning laws if there is a commitment to reserve a specified percentage of units for lower -income households -for a specified period of time. Density bonus policies are also used to provide housing for the elderly. State law now requires local governments to provide density bonus incentives for the development of lower -income housing. Development Agreements: Local governments and developers may enter into a development agreement wherein the local government agrees to "freeze" certain land use regulations on the City of National City HUD Consolidated Plan 33 Action Plan for FY 1999-2000 project property in exchange for various benefits desired by the governmental agency. A benefit can be the reservation of a specified percentage or number of units for lower -income households for a specified period of time. Benefits can also be desired community facilities. Exemptions: Local governments can encourage the provision of affordable housing by exempting such projects from the payment of certain fees or the application of certain regulations. Reduced Parking Requirements: Reduction in parking requirements can make the difference in whether an affordable housing project is feasible. Reduced parking requirements are particularly appropriate for projects' housing populations who do not have a high incidence of car ownership (such as the elderly, the handicapped, and very low-income households), for projects located near public transportation, and for projects required to provide transportation for their residents. Second Units: State law conditionally allows the addition of a second unit on a residentially - zoned lot which already contains a single-family dwelling. Amendment of zoning ordinance to allow second units complying with State criteria would increase the number of affordable units and benefit both the homeowner and the renter. Fast -Track Processing for Affordable Housing Projects: National City has a policy to fast - track affordable housing projects. This means that permits associated with the project are to be given priority processing, to reduce costs associated with time -delays. - Technical Assistance to Developers of Affordable Housing. National City can provide technical assistance to developers of affordable housing. The provision of such assistance reduces the cost of the project. G. ACTIONS TO FURTHER FAIR HOUSING In 1996, the City conducted an Analysis of Impediments (AI) to Fair Housing Choice as required by HUD. The AI includes a number of recommendations to further fair housing in National City. These include: • Continue to monitor HMDA data for potential lending discrimination • Expand public outreach and educational efforts to address under -reporting of discrimination. • Report to the Mayor on fair housing activities • Hire a fair housing agency to implement a comprehensive fair housing program - • Allocate funding to conduct a fair housing audit In response to the AL the City has been contracting with the Fair Housing Council of San Diego (FHCSD) since 1997 to implement a comprehensive fair housing program for National City. The FHCSD program has the following goals: • Offer comprehensive bilingual (English/Spanish/Other) housing discrimination services designed to serve a diverse population of housing consumers and providers. City of National City HUD Consolidated Plan 34 Action Plan for FY 1999-2000 • Offer preventive services through the conduct of outreach and education activities which are tailored to inform the general public about the legal sources of fair housing rights, responsibilities, and remedies_ • Provide technical training for owners, managers, lenders, and insurers to effect increased compliance. • Receive, investigate, and verify, through tests where appropriate, and resolve through conciliation or referral to an enforcement entity, bona -fide housing discrimination complaints. • Conduct housing discrimination audits (tests), where funding permits, designed to measure the level of compliance with fair housing laws and also to provide substantive definition of the type and nature of particular housing discrimination problems in the City. • Provide advocacy for equal housing opportunities for all persons. • Support and assist the City in meeting its obligation under the Consolidated Planning process to engage in an ongoing analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. For FY 1999-2000, the FHCSD has requested $10,000 in CDBG funding to continue to implement the comprehensive fair housing program for National City. H. COORDINATION To enhance the coordination and delivery of housing and related services provided by public; private, and other agencies, National City and the CDC have been engaged in the following activities: • Working with Nonprofit Housing Agencies and Community Housing Development Organizations (CHD s) - National City and the CDC is actively working with three non- profit housing organizations: MAAC Project, CIJ and SBCS. It is the City's strategy to work with these CHDOs and other non-profit housing organizations to monitor the status of potential and planning affordable housing projects. The City will also encourage social service providers to work with developers and. CHDOs which receive Redevelopment/City assistance to -provide "service enriched housing." Services could include health care referrals, financial counseling, and case management. • Identing Special Needs - For purposes of five-year Consolidated Plan, SANDAG administered two separate surveys: "Profiling Homeless Facilities and Resources" and "Survey of Services and Facilities for Persons with Special Needs." Survey results were incorporated into Appendix C of the five-year Consolidated Plan. These surveys provided information for the City and CDC to better understand and coordinate the provision of supportive housing and other related services to City residents with special needs. City of National City HUD Consolidated Plan 35 Action Plan for FY 1999-2000 • Coordinating with Other Agencies to Provide Services - To meet the special needs of the community, the CDC collaborates with other County facilities such as the Department of Child Services, the Department of Public Services, Legal Aide, and Social Security. The CDC is also linked with other City departments such as the Planning and Building Departments to serve the housing and employment needs of the residents. In addition to providing out -patient drug and alcohol counseling, MAAC and South Bay Community Services also conduct referrals to residential facilities and detoxification centers. • Target available CDBG funding — Assist county, state, federal, education, and private organizations involved in economic development and job training in targeting their efforts toward those areas of National City exhibiting the greatest need. • Develop a Collaborative System - Encourage the County Department of Housing and Community Development in its efforts to develop a collaborative system (periodic 1-to-2 days sessions), in conjunction with other local governments, nonprofit and private developers, and financial industry representatives, for mutual exchange of information to strengthen the housing development and delivery system. I. MONITORING Careful evaluation of the housing and public service delivery system can be the most effective tool in detecting gaps and making appropriate modifications. National City has instituted a monitoring plan for subgrantees using the HUD suggested format. This involves in-house review of progress reports and expenditures, and on -site visits to ensure compliance with federal regulations. The system encourages uniform reporting to achieve consistent information on beneficiaries. Technical assistance is provided.where necessary_ CDBG activities are monitored through monthly appropriations ledgers and progress reports from program managers. In addition, quarterly reports are prepared to -track overall expenditure rate. J. HOMELESSNESS The City of National City's strategy to address homelessness consists of the following activities: Activity: National City will continue to partner with the City of Chula Vista and South Bay Community Services, Inc. to provide a 14-unit apartment building in Chula Vista for homeless persons. Activity: MAAC will provide referrals and emergency services to homeless persons. Activity: CDC' staff will continue to coordinate with regional county efforts of FEMA.

Waters - Mayor May 4, 1999 Mr. Bill Wilson, General Manager and Members of the Stadium Authority Qualcomm Stadium 9449 Friars Road San Diego, CA 92108 SUBJECT: POLICE TACTICAL RESPONSE TO QUALCOMM STADIUM GATHERING AFTERMATH For several years, there has been an annual low -rider car show held at what is now Qualcomm Stadium. It has been a practice for thousands of participants and spectators from the show to cruise Highland Avenue in National City following the event at the stadium. This has been encouraged by sponsors of the event, such as a local radio station, and the numbers of cruisers have steadily grown over the years. Commonly, over 10,000 vehicles have crowded into National City. In past years, this after event cruising on Highland Avenue has generated major problems for the National City Police Department. Those problems have ranged in severity from public intoxication and fighting to gang related murders. Additionally, residents in nearby neighborhoods and merchants along Highland Avenue have been subject to substantial disruptions of their lives and businesses as a result of this annual event. - For those reasons, the Police Department has, for several years, employed closure and rerouting tactics to discourage the cruisers and spectators, to reduce -grid lock conditions, particularly in residential neighborhoods, and to reduce concentrations and large gatherings of problematic persons and groups. All these police activities not only require extremely careful and time consuming planning, but are also highly labor intensive in their execution. This year, the equipment (including a command van), material and human resources employed to address the problem were substantial. The National City Police Department called on the San Diego County Sheriffs Office's Gang Unit for assistance. That unit provided 17 deputies, including a lieutenant and two :ecyded Paper sergeants (all on overtime). Personnel from the City of National City included Police personnel and four civilian employees from Public Works. In total, sixty- eight (68) people were deployed over several hours to deal with the problem. Not counting time spent in planning, a total of 412 man-hours were used, over 200 of which were at overtime pay. As in past years, dealing with this event greatly strained the resources of this Police Department and cost the City of National City thousands of dollars. In addition, though informational letters were hand distributed to merchants by members of the Department's Neighborhood Policing Team prior to the event, nearly fifty businesses along Highland Avenue were negatively affected by the crowds and street closures and thousands of National City residents were forced to deal with a wide range of disturbances and disruptions which, temporarily but very negatively, impacted their peace and the quality of their lives. We ask that you consider the impact of this type of event on the health and safety of the citizens of National City, as well as the cost to the taxpayers when permitting such events in the future. Toward this end, we further request that a meeting with representatives of the City of National City and the Stadium Authority be scheduled to discuss the situation. Issues to be addressed should include the sharing of expenses incurred by this City as a result of the event, adding sponsor contract language to discourage promotion of subsequent activities which are detrimental to other cities, creating a bonding requirement to cover the expense of such costly and serious responses, as well as any other suggestions that can be developed to resolve the problem.

ITEM TITLE NO PARKING FOR STREET SWEEPING IGNS PREPARED BY C.R. Williams, J DEPARTMENT Public Works EXPLANATION See attached explanation. Environmental Review X N/A Financial Statement Depends upon alternative selected. No funds are budgeted for this program. Account No.N/A STAFF RECOMMENDATION Council to select most appropriate alte ive. BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION ATTACHMENTS ( Listed Below) Resolution No. A-200 (9/80) Explanation: At the Council meeting of 04/27/99, many pros and cons were discussed with respect to the necessity of and the cost to eliminate confusion with respect to the existing "NO PARKING - STREET SWEEPING" signs. Staff was directed to provide a cost effective, practical modification of signs to reduce confusion. Alternatives reviewed include: a) Replace signs with verbiage changed to: 1) Eliminate "Street Sweeping" but otherwise the same. 2) Add "Time Limits Strictly Enforced" in an appropriate place on the sign. The cost would be Material $8,000, Installation labor $15,000, TOTAL $23,000, as mentioned at Council. b) Purchase and install a smaller sign to read "Time Limits Strictly Enforced" below each existing sign. This would cost about the same as replacement, in that we would have to buy not only the signs, but also hangers for the signs (Replacement would re -use existing hangers). Estimate is material $7,000, Labor $15,000, TOTAL $22,000. c) Purchase decal type sign 5/8" x 16" to go along bottom of sign with the "Time Limits Strictly Enforced" message. These would cost about $3 each for $1,800 plus about $4,800 to install for an Estimated Total of $6,600. d) Purchase good quality tape, without lettering, to simply block out the words "STREET SWEEPING". The estimate is $800 materials plus $4,800 for installation for a $5,600 total. All labor costs estimates are based upon full cost recovery. e) There is, of course, the "no action" alternative. A sample of a sign will be present in the Chamber so that Council may view, easily select actions required. Since this is an unbudgeted item, Council may wish to designate a funding Material portion of the selected alternative (undesignated fund balance or tickets). and may more source for the proceeds from City of National City, California COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT May 4, 1999 10 MEETING DATE AGENDA ITEM NO ITEM TITLE TEMPORARY USE PERMIT - ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA CATHOLIC CHURCH PREPARED BY Kathleen Trees, Acting Director Building and Safety EXPLANATION. This is a request from St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church to conduct a fundraising event in the playground area at Kimball School from 5:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 28, 1999. This fund raising event is to benefit St. Anthony's Building Fund and will consist of setting up tables, tents and canopies to sell food and other items. A low -rider car show and live entertainment will be the main attraction at the event. The request includes closure of Harding Avenue between 18th and 19th Streets. This area of Harding Avenue is a bus route, therefore, National City Transit has agreed to detour bus service on the day of the event.

ITEM TITLE NOTICE OF DECISION - ZONE VARIANCE FOR RESIDENTIAL GARAGE SPACE WHICH EXCEEDS THE 750 SQUARE FOOT MAXIMUM AT 170 E. 31ST STREET (APPLICANT: MANUEL MARRUENDA) (CASE FILE NO. Z-1999-2) PREPARED BY Jim - Assistant PlannerDEPARTMENT Planning EXPLANATION The applicant proposes the construction of a 783 square foot detached garage to serve an existing residence located at 170 E. 31st Street. There is currently a 550 square foot garage on the property. A variance is needed due to the large size of the proposed garage, which will result in total garage space on the property of 1,333 square feet. The Code restricts the amount of total permitted garage space on the site to no more than 750 square feet, based on the size of the existing home. The project site is unusually large, 1.4 acres, and is bordered by single family homes on three sides and the Harbor Drive -In to the south. The proposed garage will be used to house automobiles and recreational vehicles including motorcycles, jet skis, and a boat. The project as approved by the Planning Commission has been conditioned to match existing structures on the property in conformance with Design Guidelines. There was no public opposition to the project at the Planning Commission hearing. One of the subject property owners spoke in favor of the variance, stating that the owners will modify plans to conform with Design Guidelines and will not use the property for commercial purposes. The Planning Commission voted to approve the project based on the large size of the lot and the compatibility of the garage with the existing residential neighborhood. Environmental Review Financial Statement N/A N/A Categorical Exemption Account No. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff concurs with the decision of the Planning Commission and recommends that the Notice of Decision be filed.

Location Map Resolution No. A-200 (9/80) RESOLUTION NO. 4-99 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A ZONE VARIANCE FOR RESIDENTIAL GARAGE SPACE WHICH EXCEEDS THE 750 SQUARE FOOT MAXIMUM AT 170 E. 31ST STREET. APPLICANT: MANUEL E. MARRUENDA. CASE FILE NO. Z-1999-2 WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of National City considered a Zone Variance application for residential garage space which exceeds the 750 square foot maximum at 170 E. 31st Street at a duly advertised public hearing held on April 5 1999, at which time oral and documentary evidence was presented; and, WHEREAS, at said public hearing the Planning Commission considered the staff report contained in Case File No. Z-1999-2 which is maintained by the City and incorporated herein by, reference and testimony at said hearing; and, WHEREAS, this action is taken pursuant to all applicable procedures required by State law and City law; and, WHEREAS, the action recited herein is found to be essential for the preservation of public health, safety, and general welfare. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of National City, California, that the testimony and evidence presented to the Planning Commission at the public hearing held on April 5, 1999, support the following findings: 1. That because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, location and surroundings, the strict application of Title 18 of the Municipal Code (Zoning) deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under the identical zone classification, since the proposed garage space is small in proportion to the unusually large lot size, which is adequate to maintain the proposed new garage. 2. That the requested variance is subject to such conditions which will assure that the adjustment authorized will not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitation upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which such property is situated, since the garage has been conditioned to comply with design guidelines and be compatible with the residential character of the neighborhood. 3. That the variance does not authorize a use or activity which is not othe wise expressly authorized by the zoning regulations governing the parcel of prope-ty,. since a garage used for the storage of personal vehicles is considered a residemial accessory structure, and is permitted in all residential zones. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the application for Zone Variance is approved subject to the following conditions: 1. Plans submitted for building permits must comply with the 1994 Uniform Bn iir?ng Code, Uniform Mechanical Code, and Uniform Plumbing Code; the 1993 National Electrical Code; and the State Title 24 handicapped and energy regulations. 2. Plans shall be modified to comply with Design Guidelines. The proposed garage shall have a gabled roof and an exterior finish to match the existing home and. garage. 3. Except as required by conditions of approval, development plans shall be submitaxi for review and approval by the Planning Director in conformance with Exhibit A, Case File No. Z-1999-2, dated March 8, 1999. 4. Before this Zone Variance shall become effective, the applicant and the property owner both shall sign and have notarized an Acceptance Form, provided by the Planning Department, acknowledging and accepting all conditions imposed upon the approval of this permit. Failure to return the signed and notarized Acceptance Form within 30 days of its receipt shall automatically terminate the Zone Varian. The applicant shall also submit evidence to the satisfaction of the Planning Direcor that a Notice of Restriction on Real Property is recorded with the County Recorder. The applicant shall pay necessary recording fees to the County. The Notice of Restriction shall provide information that conditions imposed by approval of the Zone Variance are binding on all present or future interest holders or estate hoic—s of the property. The Notice of Restriction shall be approved as to form by the Cxy Attorney and signed by the•Planning Director prior to recordation. 5. Use of the property as authorized by this Zone Variance shall be limited to a sine - family residence.- The property shall not be used for commercial purposes, including, but not limited to, storage of commercial vehicles, warehousing, stort e of commercial goods, and other commercial uses. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this Resolution be transmitted forthwith to the applicant and to the City Council. BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that this Resolution shall become effective and final on the day following the City Council meeting where the Planning Commission resolution is set for review, unless an appeal in writing is filed with the City Clerk prior to 5:00 p.m. on the day of that City Council meeting. The City Council may, at that meeting, appeal the decision of the Planning Commission and set the matter for public hearing.
