CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. 16
May 9, 2006
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Community & Economic Development, Planning Department
Daniel R. Trimble, Program Manager
949/644 -3230. e-mail: dtrimble (cDcity.newport- beach.ca.us
SUBJECT: Review of the Community Development Block Grant Fiscal Year 2006-
2007 One -Year Action Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
ISSUE:
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires the City of
Newport Beach to complete a One -Year Action Plan to receive funds under the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The One -Year Action Plan
(Action Plan) is a component of the City's Five -Year Consolidated Plan (2005 -2009
Consolidated Plan) that was approved on May 10, 2005. The One -Year Action Plan
document serves as the annual application for CDBG funding. The City's Action Plan
contains a list of activities the City will assist with CDBG funds during the upcoming
fiscal year. The City's entitlement amount for the 2006 -2007 fiscal year, July 1, 2006
to June 30, 2007, is $373,292.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Hold a public hearing to receive comments on the 2006;2007 CDBG Action Plan;
and
2. Approve the 2006 -2007 CDBG Action Plan; and
3. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the FY 2006 -2007 CDBG
Program Grant Agreement and all related documents on behalf of the City; and
4. Adopt Resolution No. authorizing the City Manager to submit the FY
2006 -2007 application for CDBG funds and One -Year Action Plan to HUD.
DISCUSSION:
At the March 14, 2006 City Council meeting, staff reported on the recommended
funding levels for Public Service agencies, a detailed summary of the administrative
requirements of the program, as well as the declining amount of grant funds received
over the last few years. Additionally, some of the agencies were already receiving
relatively smaller grants, while the amount of administration for the Agency and the City
has remained the same. Continuation of this pattern could reduce the effectiveness of
the individual grants, and even the City's overall public service program therefore staff
recommended a $5,000 minimum grant amount.
The City of Newport Beach's 2005 -2009 Five -Year Consolidated Plan, as adopted on
May 10, 2005, proposed a strategic vision for housing and community development in
the City. The plan ensures that citizens within the community have an overview of
Newport Beach's housing and community development issues; the annual goals,
objectives, and actions proposed to address the City's needs; and the specific projects
proposed to carry out those goals and objectives.
According to HUD regulations, the City must also submit an Annual Action Plan, at least
45 days prior to the beginning of each program gear. The City of Newport Beach
operates on a fiscal year of July 15` through June 30 h.
Citizen Participation
In accordance with the Citizen Participation Plan, on April 7, 2006, the Planning
Department published a notice in the Daily Pilot informing the general public that the
City of Newport Beach had prepared the Draft 2006 -2007 Action Plan and that such
would be available for review and comment until May 8, 2006. Residents were given an
opportunity to comment on the One -Year Action Plan and the proposed activities. The
public was provided an opportunity to provide oral and /or written comments to the City
regarding the Plan. No comments were received.
In addition, the Citizen Participation Plan also requires that a public hearing be held to
receive testimony from interested residents regarding the One -Year Action Plan.
Tonight's public hearing fulfills the requirements for the public hearing.
Funding Strategies
Funding strategies serve as the basis of the Consolidated Plan funding decisions for
the next five years (2005- 2009). The City must allocate CDBG funds to programs and
projects that significantly contribute to the City's efforts to meet the goals and objectives
described in the following funding priorities:
1. Affordable Housing Funding Priorities:
a. Increase supply of housing units affordable to moderate - income
households through new construction.
b. Maintain existing level of Section 8 housing vouchers and rent - restricted
units within the City.
c. Ensure universal access to fair housing choice within the City.
FY 2006 -2007 CDBG One -Year Action Plan

2. Special Needs Funding Priorities:
a. Increase accessibility of persons with disabilities to public facilities.
b. Improve supportive services for elderly residents.
c. Increase supportive services for persons suffering from substance abuse.
d. Increase supportive services for persons living with HIV /AIDS.
3. Homeless Funding Priorities:
a. Preserve the supply of emergency and transitional housing.
b. Improve services for homeless persons and prevent those at -risk of
homelessness from losing their housing.
c. Improve services for women and children who are homeless because of
domestic violence.
4. Non - housing Community Development Priorities:
a. Eliminate blight, blighting influences, and prevent the deterioration of
property.
b. Improve health and safety through rehabilitation of community facilities.
c. Preserve community infrastructure in order to provide economic
empowerment in targeted neighborhoods.
In addition to the goals and objectives noted above, the federal government requires
that the City make every effort to address barriers to affordable housing. The City's
primary strategies to meet affordable housing needs are to:
• Increase the supply of affordable housing units for low - and moderate - income
households through new construction.
• Maintain existing level of Section 8 housing vouchers and rent- restricted units within
the City.
• Ensure universal access to fair housing choice within the City.
The City has the option to fund fair housing services as part of the public service grants
(subject to the 15% maximum allocation) or as part of the general administration funds
(subject to the 20% maximum allocation). In order to make more funds available for
public service projects, the City has elected to use administration funds to pay for Fair
Housing services.
Strategies for addressing the priorities noted above can be found in the Strategic Plan
section of the 2005 -2009 Consolidated Plan.
Notice of Funding Availability
On December 16, 2005, the City published a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) in
the Daily Pilot newspaper to announce the availability of CDBG funds and solicit
proposals from tax - exempt nonprofit organizations that provide eligible CDBG services
or projects that benefit Newport Beach residents. The City also made the application

current Fiscal Year and other agencies who had expressed interest in receiving funds.
In response to the NOFA, nine public service providers submitted applications for
CDBG grants for Fiscal Year 2006 -2007, requesting a total of $117,298 compared to
$55,994 available funds. Included in this report is a summary of the CDBG Public
Service Grant Applications and staff recommendations to the City Council.

Chapter 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Overview of Consolidated Plan Process
Every year the City of Newport Beach receives Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
The grant money is to primarily benefit the lower income residents of the City in three
ways:
• By providing decent housing
• By providing a suitable living environment
• By expanding economic opportunities
To ensure that the funds are used to meet the most urgent needs in the community, the
City develops a community needs assessment. The needs assessment includes
quantitative and statistical research, resident survey results, and input from local non-
profits and service agencies. Based on the needs assessment, the City compiles a list
of goals and objectives to meet the community's needs in a Strategic Plan. The
objectives address housing, homeless, and other community development needs. A
summary of the current strategic plan is included in this Plan. Together, the community
needs assessment and the Strategic Plan from the Consolidated Plan. The
Consolidated Plan is developed every five (5) years.
One -Year Action Plan for 2006 -2007 Program Year

the 2005 -2009 Consolidated Plan. It describes how the City will utilize the new HUD
grant funds and other available resources to undertake programs and projects that will
help the City meet the goals and objectives outlined in its Consolidated Plan.
In the 2006 -2007 program year, which starts July 1", 2006 and ends June 30`h, 2007,

2. STRATEGIC PLAN
Overview
The following is a summary of the Five Year Strategic Plan and how the activities
proposed for the upcoming program year will work toward achieving the goals included
in the Strategic Plan. The full version of the Strategic Plan is in the City's 2005 -2009
Consolidated Plan and can be obtained from the City's Planning Department.
The strategic goals are divided between Newport Beach program objectives and HUD -
specified objectives. The Newport Beach program goals were developed based on the
specific needs found within the community. The HUD - specified goals are mandated by
the federal government and designed to meet common needs found in communities
throughout the country. An activity will appear more than once given that some local
and federal goals overlap. All activities proposed for the 2006 program year will strive to
serve low- and moderate - income persons. No activities will seek eligibility under the
.urgent need" eligibility.
Newport Beach Program Objectives
Affordable Housing Funding Priorities and Strategies:
1. Increase supply of housing units affordable to moderate - income households through
new construction.
2. Maintain existing level of Section 8 housing vouchers and rent - restricted units within
the City.

4. Special Needs Funding Priorities and Strategies:
5. Increase accessibility of persons with disabilities to public facilities_
6. Improve supportive services for elderly residents.

CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2006 PAGE 2.2
2. STRATEGIC PLAN
Newport Beach Program Objectives: Housing
1. Increase the supply of newly constructed affordable housing units to
moderate- income households
As stated in the Newport Beach Housing Element, the City's goal is to preserve and
increase housing affordability. The City set a target of adding 120 senior housing
units in the Consolidated Plan. This goal will be met with the completion of 120 units
of senior housing at the Newport Seniors project at Lower Bayview. The City has
provided $1,000,000 in subsidies and waived an additional $250,000 in fees. The
Planning Commission, City Council and Coastal Commission have approved the
project. The project is under construction and is expected to be completed in 2006
2. Maintain current level of Section 8 Voucher supply
Section 8 vouchers are rental assistance payments to owners of private market rate
units on behalf of very low- income tenants. This program allows the users to find
their own housing which best suits their needs. The City will continue to support this
county administered program.
3. Ensure universal access to fair housing
The City is committed to ensuring the right to housing for all of its residents. Fair
housing activities undertaken this year will be carried out by the Fair Housing
Council of Orange County and will include conflict resolution, code enforcement,
legal aid, and investigation into discrimination complaints. The City will also partner
with other local jurisdictions and the Fair Housing Council of Orange County to
update the regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing (AI).
The Fair Housing Council provides services above and beyond what is typically
considered housing discrimination. In the coming year, the organization will address
discrimination in the following areas.
• Lending Practices: While data and study has not shown discrimination in lending,
efforts have not been proactive.
• Insuring Practices: Some insurance companies may be targeting certain zip codes
for higher rates of denial or different terms and conditions for insurance coverage.
• Outreach and Education: A lack of a standard in the fair housing education
system may leave gaps in communities. In addition, some immigrant populations
may not be aware of the right to fair housing.
• Public Policies /Programs: A lack of coordination among cities in the region in
regards to their planning activities may have an adverse effect on fair housing
efforts on a regional basis.
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2006 PAGE 2 -3
2. STRATEGIC PLAN
Newport Beach Program Objectives: Special Needs
The City's Consolidated Plan must describe the needs of persons who are not
homeless but who require supportive housing. These "special need" populations
include elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical,
developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug addiction, persons with HIV /AIDS
and their families, and public housing residents.
1. Increase accessibility to public facilities
The City will continue to provide funding for ADA Sidewalk Improvements to public
facilities throughout the City to ensure accessibility to residents with disabilities. In
the upcoming program year, the City will provide $54,476 for such improvements.
2. Improve support services to elderly residents
Seniors are the largest and fastest growing "special need" population in Newport
Beach. The City will provide support to seniors to enable them to remain
independent. In the upcoming program year, the City will provide $14,494 of CDBG
funding to FISH Harbor Area, Inc. to administer their Mobile Meals Program and
$7,000 to South County Senior Services, Inc, to administer their Home - Delivered
Meal Program. Both programs deliver nutritious meals to homebound seniors
throughout Newport Beach. This service allows seniors who may otherwise become
institutionalized remain in their homes and maintain their self - sufficiency.
3. Improve support services to those with substance addictions
Persons suffering from substance addictions are a target population of the City's
Anti - Poverty Strategy. Once a person has begun the recovery process, there is a
higher chance they will become self - sufficient. In the upcoming program year, the
City will continue to support the efforts of Serving People In Need (SPIN) by funding
their Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Program with $8,000 of CDBG funding. This
program provides access to recovery programs to homeless and low- income
individuals whom otherwise could not afford such services. The program includes
one month of room and board, counseling, and supplemental services focused on
employment, medical assistance, and legal assistance.
4. Improve support services to HIVIAIDS population.
In the 2006 -2007 program year, the City will provide $5,000 of CDBG funds to
Emmanuel House, a transitional housing program for adults living with HIV or AIDS,
the only project of its kind in Orange County. Mercy House administers the project.
Funds will be used to provide staff salaries and program supplies. The program
expects to assist 40 clients in Orange County.

2. STRATEGIC PLAN
Newport Beach Program Objectives: Homeless
1. Preserve the supply of emergency and transitional housing
While no emergency shelter or transitional housing facilities are located within
Newport Beach, the provision of shelter is a priority for the City. The City will work
with agencies in surrounding areas address homelessness. In FY 2006 -2007 the
City will fund the following activities to meet this goal:
• Human Options Emergency Shelter for Battered Women $5,000
• Mercy House Emmanuel House $5,000
• Serving People In Need Substance Abuse Rehabilitation $8,000
• WISE Place Steps to Independence $5,000
2. Assist homeless and prevent those "at- risk" of becoming homeless
Part of the City's Anti - Poverty Strategy is to assist those "at- risk" of losing their self -
sufficiency and becoming more dependent on public services. The City will fund the
following projects in FY 2006 -2007 to meet this goal:
• FISH Harbor Homeless and Hunger Prevention $11,500
• Human Options Emergency Shelter for Battered Women $5,000
• Serving People In Need Substance Abuse Recovery Program $8,000
• WISE Place
Steps to Independence
3. Assist homeless battered women and children
$5,000
Homelessness may not be as visible in Newport Beach as in surrounding
communities, but the City still views homelessness as an important issue that is a
high priority to be addressed. The City will continue to work with its partner agencies
within the Orange County Continuum of Care to best meet the needs of homeless
persons and those at risk of homelessness.
In the 2006 -2007 program year, the City has recommended funding for the following
activities to help address the public service needs of homeless persons in and
around Newport Beach:
• Human Options Emergency Shelters for Battered Women $5,000
• WISE Place Steps to Independence $5,000

2. STRATEGIC PLAN
Newport Beach Program Objectives: Community Development
1. Eliminate blight, blighting influences, and prevent the deterioration of
property.
The City is nearing completion of the work detailed in the Balboa Village Pedestrian
and Streetscape Improvement Plan. CDBG funds were used to secure a Section
108 loan, which was used in conjunction with City parking funds to fund the
improvements. The City expects the project to stimulate private economic
investment in the area. In other areas, the City will rely on code enforcement
activities to identify signs of deterioration in its early stages.
• City of Newport Beach 108 Loan Repayment
$188,164
2. Improve health and safety through rehabilitation of community facilities.
The City will continue to provide funding for ADA Improvements to public facilities
throughout the City to ensure accessibility to residents with disabilities. In addition,
the City will fund the Code Enforcement program to ensure the health and safety of it
residents. City staff will conduct housing inspections in designated low- and
moderate- income areas of the City.
• City of Newport Beach ADA Sidewalk Improvements $54,476
3. Preserve community infrastructure to provide economic empowerment in
targeted neighborhoods
In FY 2006 -2007, the City will use CDBG to repay the loan used for the Balboa
improvements, fund code enforcement officers to identify deterioration in its early
stages, and fund programs that help persons gain a higher degree of self -
sufficiency.

2. STRATEGIC PLAN
HUD - Specified Objectives
1. Address Obstacles to Meeting Needs
The development process in housing and community development is lengthy and
complex. A wide range of obstacles often hampers A. HUD asks local governments
to strategize a plan to mitigate these obstacles. The City has identified the lack of
developable sites, high land costs and limited funding as obstacles to affordable
housing. Other obstacles in non - housing community development include NIMBY-
ism (Not in My Backyard), lack of organizational capacity, and lack of available
funding.
In response, the City has adopted policies to overcome some of these obstacles. In
regard to affordable housing, the City encourages affordable housing production by
providing density bonuses to interested developers and through the inclusionary
zoning requirements. The City will work closely with affordable housing developers
to expedite the permitting process in order to cut costs.
In regard to non - housing obstacles, the City will facilitate community involvement to
increase understanding of community needs and the possible solutions to meet
those needs. The City will maintain close partnerships with service providers and
other community development professionals to identify and correct issues such as
lack of capacity and resources.
2. Foster and Maintain Affordable Housing
As stated above, the City has identified the lack of developable sites, high land costs
and limited funding as obstacles to producing affordable housing. However, within
the Newport Beach Sphere of Influence, there may be additional options for future
residential development. Bay Knolls and Santa Ana Heights are scheduled for
annexation within the next four years. Once, annexed, the City will explore
opportunities for increasing the City's affordable housing supply in these areas.
The City continues to monitor and enforce affordability covenants on affordable
housing projects throughout the City. This includes not only housing units developed
with federal funds, but also all units with an affordability covenant in place.
3. Remove Barriers to Affordable Housing
The City will continue to implement the following procedures and programs:
• Monitor all regulations, ordinances, departmental processing procedures, and
residential development fees to ensure these requirements do not excessively
constrain affordable residential development.
Continue to offer density bonus incentives for the development of affordable
housing pursuant to state density bonus requirements and the City's General Plan
Housing Element.
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2006 PAGE 2 -7
i
2. STRATEGIC PLAN
• Partner with the Fair Housing Council of Orange County to provide tenant and
landlord counseling to provide fair housing opportunities for Newport Beach
residents.
4. Reduce Poverty
Almost all of the City's funded programs are aimed at helping a family or individual
increase or maintain their self - sufficiency. For example, the FISH Harbor Areas'
Mobile Meals Project supports self- sufficiency of seniors and persons with
disabilities. The Steps to Independence Program administered by WISEPlace
provides a comprehensive program with the end goal of self- sufficiency, including
transitional shelter, food, clothing, counseling, and employment assistance to
homeless women without children. The program handles a variety of clientele,
including victims of domestic violence, emancipated youth, seniors, and women with
developmental disabilities
In the 2006 -2007 program year, the City will fund the following activities that will
directly contribute to reduction of poverty levels in Newport Beach:
• FISH Harbor Homeless Prevention
• Fish Harbor Mobile Meals
• Human Options Emergency Shelter for Battered Women
• SPIN Substance Abuse Rehabilitation
• South County Sr. Serv. Inc Home Delivered Meals
• WISE Place
Steps to Independence
5. Develop Institutional Structure
$11,500
$14,494
$5,000
$8,000
$7,000
$5,000
The City relies heavily on its community partners in order to provide needed services
to area residents. Unfortunately, the City receives a relatively small allocation of
federal funds, of which only 15 percent can be provided to social service
organizations for the provision of services. City staff will worts; with organizations that
do not receive federal funds and provide a Certification of Consistency if the
proposed project reflects the goals and objectives of the City's adopted Consolidated
Plan.
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACN ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2006
PAGE 2-8
2. STRATEGIC PLAN
6. Enhance Service Delivery (including Monitoring)
The City continues to refine its internal procedures and build its relationships with
partner agencies in order to provide the highest level of service to the targeted
populations.
The City will also make efforts to ensure a high level of service from its
subrecipients. These efforts start at the beginning of the program year with a
technical assistance meeting that covers program requirements, such as record
keeping, invoicing, and procurement. Throughout the program year, the City will
review payment requests and progress reports to ensure program compliance and
provide technical assistance when needed. It is the City's goal to provide on -site
monitoring to every subrecipient at least once during the program year. The goal of
the monitoring is to ensure program compliance and improve the level of service.
In regard to capital expenditures, the City will ensure that procurements and project
administration comply with all federal, state, and local regulations, including
environmental review, prevailing wage requirements, and Section 3 requirements.
7. Address Threat of Lead -Based Paint
Most cities that administer a residential rehabilitation program can make great
strides toward reducing the threat of lead -based paint in its housing stock. However,
the City does have a residential rehabilitation program so it must find other ways to
address lead -based paint hazards. In the upcoming year the City will take the
following actions:
• Work with agencies in a collaborative effort to secure funding and provide low -cost
training to testing and abatement contractors and workers.
• Monitor the lead- poisoning data maintained by the Orange County Department of
Health Services.
• Educate residents on the health hazards of lead -based paint through the use of
brochures and encourage screening children for elevated blood -lead levels.
8. Improve Public Housing
As stated in the fourth local housing goal in the above section, the City will assist
Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA) to maximize the use of Section 8 funds
and other resources within Newport Beach.

Chapter 3. AVAILABLE RESOURCES
3. AVAILABLE RESOURCES
Federal Resources
The City received a total of $373,292 in CDBG funds for the 2006 -2007 program
year. This year there are no carry over funds from prior years. In total, the City has
$373,292 for the 2006 -2007 program year.
• 2006 CDBG Entitlement $373,292
• Reprogrammed CDBG $0
• CDBG Program Income $0
• All other forms of CDBG $0
In addition, Section 8 Housing Vouchers and certificates will be available to Newport
Beach residents through the Orange County Housing Authority.
State and Local Resources
The City will continue to provide support, such as subsidies, general funds and fee
waivers, to activities that help meet the objectives specified in the Strategic Plan.
Other Resources
It is difficult to estimate the amount of other resources that are available for
affordable housing and community development projects in Newport Beach. Over
the next program year, the City may pursue the following available funding sources:
• Workforce Housing Grant
• BEGIN Funds
• California Housing Finance Agency (CHFA) Multi - Family Rental Housing Program
• CHFA Home Mortgage Purchase Program
• California Housing Rehabilitation Program -Owner Component

Chapter 4. DISTRIBUTION OF RESOURCES
f
4. DISTRIBUTION OF RESOURCES
Distribution among Priority Needs
The funding available under the Consolidated Plan may be used to meet a wide variety
of needs. The City established local priority needs based on the housing market
analysis and other research conducted as part of the 2005 -09 Consolidated Plan. The
goals listed in the Strategic Plan section of this document are the result of that research.
The City gives priority to projects and programs that will pursue the goals listed in the
strategic plan.
Geographic Distribution
All CDBG- funded public service activities will be available to Newport Beach residents
citywide based on income and other eligibility criteria. These activities cater specifically
to low- and moderate - income residents or to groups presumed to be of low and
moderate income instead of residents in a specific area.
Public Facility improvements and Code Enforcement activities will be targeted to the
Balboa Peninsula area. Projects that serve an identified geographic area, such as
parks, facilities, community centers and street improvements, are eligible for CDBG
funding based on the percentage of low and moderate - income residents living in the
service area. In most communities, the threshold is 51 percent. However, some
communities, such as Newport Beach, have no or very few areas that meet this
threshold. For these grantees, the CDBG law authorizes an alternate method to
determine a lower threshold. The Balboa Peninsula is one of the few areas in Newport
Beach that is eligible for CDBG assistance under this alternate calculation of eligibility.
Please refer to the map on the following page for more details on the areas that will
benefit from Code Enforcement and the Public Facilities Improvements.
