Adopt a resolution approving the work plan and authorizing the use of General Fund Reserves to achieve the City Council’s fiscal year 2021-22 goal to “engage the community through a citizens committee to create a new plan to manage growth in Carlsbad in a way that maintains an excellent quality of life.” 2. Adopt a resolution approving the work plan and authorizing the use of General Fund Reserves and other funding sources to achieve the City Council goal of “reducing the homeless unsheltered population, among those who want help, by 50 percent within five years.” Executive Summary On April 27, 2021, the City Council considered four resolutions to approve the proposed work plans and funding authorizations needed to achieve the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 City Council Goals. The City Council approved minute motions directing staff to return to the council with amended resolutions to reflect proposed changes in the subject goal work plans, including the necessary findings to support the use of General Fund reserves to fund one-time costs, as required by City Council Policy No. 74 – General Fund Reserve Policy. In accordance with the City Council’s direction, staff have amended the resolutions and their associated work plans, which are being presented for City Council consideration. May 4, 2021 Item #10 Page 1 of 18 Discussion The City Council conducted a three-day goal setting workshop between Feb. 4 and March 11, 2021. At the conclusion of the March 11 workshop, the City Council identified four priority goals and directed staff to develop work plans to support the goals for fiscal year 2021-22. City Council reviewed those work plans on April 27, 2021. Upon reviewing the work plan to “engage the community through a citizens committee to create a new plan to manage growth in Carlsbad in a way that maintains an excellent quality of life,” the City Council determined that one-time costs proposed to occur during fiscal year 2020-2021 were intended to occur during fiscal year 2021-2022. Furthermore, it was determined that General Fund reserves should be used to fund the one-time costs associated with this work plan. Upon reviewing the work plan to “reduc(e) the homeless unsheltered population, among those who want help, by 50 percent within five years,” the City Council directed staff to amend the work plan to postpone the hiring of two social workers, and to hire an employment and benefits specialist under a two-year contract. It was also determined that General Fund reserves should be used to fund the one-time fiscal year 2020-2021 costs associated with this work plan. City Council Policy No. 74 - General Fund Reserve Policy, states that: “At the discretion of the City Council, reserve levels in excess of the 40% target requirement, may be used for one-time opportunity cost purposes. For example, one- time expenditures resulting in future efficiencies, infrastructure, special projects, or key economic development opportunities that provide savings or efficiencies where no funding source otherwise exists. These types of one-time opportunity costs may only be authorized by formal City Council action where findings have been made as to what constitutes the savings or how efficiencies will be achieved.” The one-time fiscal year 2021-2022 opportunity cost associated with initiating efforts to “engage the community through a citizens committee to create a new plan to manage growth in Carlsbad in a way that maintains an excellent quality of life” will achieve savings by enabling the city to avoid future state enforcement activities and penalties that may result from non- compliance with state housing law The one-time opportunity cost associated with initiating efforts to “reduc(e) the homeless unsheltered population, among those who want help, by 50 percent within five years” will achieve savings by enabling the city to avoid future costs associated with calls for Police and Fire department services, emergency transports, the provision of homeless services and property cleaning and maintenance. Further savings and efficiencies may be associated with a reduction in the potential fire risk associated with homelessness.

This shortage has been estimated to be 3-4 million housing units (20-30% of California's housing stock, 14 million as of 2017). Experts say that California needs to double its current rate of housing production (85,000 units per year) to keep up with expected population growth and prevent prices from further increasing and needs to quadruple the current rate of housing production over the next seven years in order for prices and rents to decline; and May 4, 2021 Item #10 Page 5 of 18 WHEREAS, in response to this housing crisis, the state legislature has adopted a series of housing related bills over recent years to increase housing production. These changes limit the city's ability to fully implement the Growth Management Plan; and WHEREAS, one of the laws passed by the California Legislature was the Residential Density and Affordability Act of 2017 (SB 166), which amended the Housing Element law to require the city to ensure that its Housing Element is capable of accommodating the remaining Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RI-INA) "at all times (Gov. Code § 65863(a);" and WHEREAS, another law passed by the California Legislature was the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (SB 330), which added Section 66300 to the Government Code. It states that California is experiencing a housing shortage crisis of historic proportions. To address the crisis, the Legislature has declared a statewide housing emergency until 2025 and suspended certain restrictions on development of new housing during the emergency. Among other things, the Legislature, under Government Code Section 66300 (b)(1)(D), has suspended the ability of cities to establish or implement any provision that: * Limits the number of land use approvals or permits necessary for the approval and construction of housing that will be issued or allocated within all or a portion of the city, 8 Acts as a cap on the number of housing units that can be approved or constructed either annually or for some other time period, or •Limits the population of the city; and WHEREAS, for the sixth housing cycle (2021-2029), the State Department of Housing and Community Development, via the San Diego Association of Governments, assigned the city a total of 3,873 housing units to be created in Carlsbad during this upcoming eight-year housing period, of which 2,195 must be reserved for households in the low- and very low-income category; and WHEREAS, in order to accommodate these housing units, its anticipated that one or more of the Growth Management Plan quadrant caps will be exceeded, and likely the citywide cap; and WHEREAS, the City Council sees a need to engage the community through a citizens committee to initiate discussions regarding what should be included in the development of a new plan to manage future growth in Carlsbad in a way that maintains an excellent quality of life while also complying with state law; and May 4, 2021 Item #10 Page 6 of 18 WHEREAS, initiating work to develop a new plan to manage future growth will achieve savings by enabling the city to avoid future state enforcement activities and penalties that may result from non-compliance with state housing law. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Carlsbad, California, as follows: 1. The above recitations are true and correct. 2, The City Council directs staff to initiate the process to form a citizen's ad-hoc committee as described in the work plan (Attachment A) and return with recommendations on the committee formation process, potential representation, roles and responsibilities, and draft mission statement and principles of participation for City Council consideration. 3.The City Council finds that the one-time opportunity cost of $350,000 associated with the work described in the work plan will achieve savings by enabling the city to avoid future state enforcement activities and penalties that may result from non-compliance with state housing law. 4.The Deputy City Manager, Administrative Services is authorized to assign $350,000 of the unassigned General Fund reserve balance at fiscal year-end 2020-21 to pay for one- time anticipated consultant costs associated with the citizens committee as described in the work plan (Attachment A). 5.The City Manager is authorized to include this $350,000 one-time opportunity cost in the city's FY 2021-22 Preliminary Operating Budget. // /I // // // I- II May 4, 2021 Item #10 Page 7 of 18 PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED at a Regular Meeting of the City Council of the City of Carlsbad on the 4th day of May, 2021, by the following vote, to wit: AYES: Hall, Blackburn, Acosta, Bhat-Patel, Schumacher.
