SUBJECT: Review of the FY 2003 -2004 Community Development Block Grant One -
Year Action Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
ISSUE:
The Action Plan represents the City of Newport Beach's official application to HUD for
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds. The Action Plan describes the
activities to be implemented during the coming fiscal year. It also provides a
participatory process through which our citizens are given an opportunity to determine,
provide input, and be informed about the projected use of funds. More importantly, it is
the tool that verifies and assists in the implementation of the goals and strategies
outlined in the Five -Year Consolidated Plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
After receiving public comments and recommendations on the Draft Action Plan,
including the budget for the CDBG program, staff recommends the Council approve the
recommendations for funding and schedule the revised Action Plan for City Council
approval at the May 13, 2003 Public Hearing.
DISCUSSION:
Citizen Participation
During the April 8, 2003 City Council meeting, the Council will initiate a public hearing to
solicit input from the community and to comment of the draft FY2003 -2004 One -Year
Action Plan and to review the various projects proposed for the 2003 -2004 CDBG
program year. The Newport Beach Planning Department is also entrusted by the
Newport Beach City Council with the responsibility of reviewing all applications for
CDBG funding by public service and fair housing agencies, and of making funding
recommendations to the City Council.
A draft version of the Action Plan was developed and released for a 30 -day public
review and comment period beginning on April 9, 2003. On May 13, 2003, the Newport
Beach City Council will also conduct a public hearing to review any additional
comments received on the draft Action Plan, and to make final funding decisions on the
proposed activities. The City Council's funding decisions will be incorporated into the
final Action Plan and submitted to HUD on or about May 15, 2003 for approval. All
comments received on the draft Action Plan will be summarized and included in the
final Action Plan.
Public Services and Fair Housing
On December 17, 2002, 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 mailed notices to
agencies who receive funds in the current Fiscal Year and other agencies who had
expressed interest in receiving funds.
In response to the NOFA, eight public service providers submitted applications for
CDBG grants for Fiscal Year 2003 -2004, requesting a total of $121,561. Included in
this report is a summary of the CDBG Public Service Grant Applications and staff
recommendations to the City Council. These recommendations are based on the
priority needs identified in the Newport Beach 2000 -2005 Consolidated Plan:

administration funds (subject to the 20% maximum allocation).

Newport Beach residents 10 meals per week for the duration of the program year.
FISH HarborArea Inc. — Mobile Meals $25,000
This program offers rental /utility assistance, supplemental groceries, and case
management to low income families. It is estimated that 120 of the 5000 annual client
contacts will be Newport Beach residents.
Mercy House $10,000
This program will provide program supplies at Emmanuel House, a transitional housing
program for adults living with HIV or AIDS. The only project of its kind in Orange
County, Emmanuel House provides homeless adults afflicted with this disease the
opportunity to live in a dignified home environment and receive supportive services
necessary to rebuild their lives. Funds will be used to provide a food pantry that
contains nutritional supplements in addition to food and household supplies.
Fair Housing Council of Orange County $14,976
The program will further fair housing in Newport Beach through education,
landlord /tenant counseling, and legal action when necessary. It is anticipated the
program will assist 355 Newport Beach residents with landlord /tenant related problems
and 5 households with allegations of discrimination.
Fund Allocation
Given the level of funding available, the amount of funding requested, past performance
and proposed accomplishments, anticipated benefit to Newport Beach residents, and
City priorities, staff recommends that the City Council provide funding for public service
and fair housing activities as follows:

'Fair Housing services are funded from the Administration portion of the City's CDBG allocation and
do not count towards the 15% restriction for public services.
This recommended allocation provides a consistent level of funding to each of the
existing providers as well as one additional provider, Mercy House. Unfortunately,
given the significant reduction in the City's annual CDBG allocation over the last two
years and increased demand for public service funding, staff is not recommending
funding for the Dayle McIntosh Center. The rationale for this decision is based on use
of the funding criteria established in our Consolidated Plan and described earlier in this
report.
Environmental Review:
Not subject to CEQA, as the activity is not a project, as defined in Section 15378(b)(4).
Public Notice:
Notice of the public hearing was published in the Daily Pilot on March 14, 2003.

The City has been notified that it will be allocated $426,000 in CDBG Funds for the

units of senior housing with the Lower Bayview Project. The City has provided
$1,000,000 in subsidies and waived an additional $250,000 in fees. The porject has

THE STRATEGIC PLAN
HUD - Specified Objectives
1 Address Obstacles to Meeting Needs The development process in housing and
community development is lengthy and complex. It is often hampered by a wide range
of obstacles. 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.
In response, the City has adopted policies to overcome some of these obstacles and to
encourage affordable housing production by providing density bonuses and fee
waivers. For example, the City provided $250,000 of fee waivers for the Lower Bayview
Senior Project. To address the lack of funds, the City leveraged their CDBG funds with
a section 108 Loan to help fund the Balboa area improvements. In regard to NIMBY
(Not In My Back Yard), the City will continue to work with the community to ensure open
lines of communication exist regarding potential projects. Whena project becomes
politically infeasible, the City will consider funding projects located outside the city that
serve the Orange county region.
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. The City continues to monitor and enforce affordability covenants
on four affordable housing projects (totaling 130 units) developed with CDBG funds and
a 100 unit (202 HUD funded) senior housing project.
In addition, there is over $2,500,000 in non - federal funds available for the development
and /or preservation of affordable housing units, which was negotiated by the City as
part of market rate residential development. The City is working with potential
developers of affordable housing for seniors and families, and these funds may be used
to make such projects feasible.
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 oevelopment of affordable
housing pursuant to state density bonus requirements and the City's General Plan
Housing Element.
. Continue to contract 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 The City has implemented a number of programs to address the
needs of the homeless, the "at- risk" homeless, special needs population, and the
elderly. The City has given a high priority to addressing these needs and continues to
fund organizations that provide services to the homeless, special needs population and
the elderly. As part of the City's strategy, activities are underway to revitalize /redevelop
the Balboa Peninsula with the goal of improving the commercial environment and
creating additional jobs for the community.The City will pursue the following programs in
the 2003 program year to help reduce poverty:
Steps to Independence Page 5 -2
L, Balboa Target Area Page 5 -10
5 bevelop Institutional Structure The regulations guiding the use of CDBG and HOME
funding state that the primary means to achieving its goals is "to extend and strengthen
partnerships among all levels of government and the private sector, including for- profit
and non - profit organizations ".
The City of Newport Beach will carry out this Consolidated Plan through various
organizations. Homeless and other special needs persons and low- income elderly
residents will be served through social service agencies funded through CDBG grant
funds. Various City of Newport Beach departments will work together to achieve the
goals of this Consolidated Plan: Planning Department completes the grant
administration, a Code Enforcement Officer conducts code enforcement activities on
Balboa Peninsula, and Accounting staff assists with administration. The Public Works
Department oversees public improvement contracts and construction.
In addition, the City contracts with private industry construction contractors, non - Profit
organizations and social service providers to provide community, housing and social
service programs and projects.
6 Enhance Service Delivery (Monitoring) The following procedures have been
established for monitoring activities undertaken with funds received from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD):
. An in -house review of progress reports and expenditures.
On -site visits of ail subrecipients to ensure compliance with federal regulations
Technical assistance is provided where necessary.
. Project and financial data on CDBG - funded activities will be maintained using the
HUD software -- IDIS (Integrated Disbursement Information System). Use of this
system will allow HUD staff easy access to local data for review and progress
evaluation.
Timely submission of the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation
Report (CAPER).

7 Address Threat of Lead Paint Prior to the use of federal funds, all existing units are
inspected for lead -based paint hazards. Units identified as having lead -based paint
hazards are treated so as to abate the lead -based paint hazards in accordance with
federal requirements.
8Improve Public Housing Public housing plays an important role of any affordable
housing strategy. Although the Newport Beach does not have any public housing units,
The City continues to support the Orange County Housing Authority to maintain and
increase the level of available Section 8 Certificates (95) to be utilized in the City.

RESOURCE DISTRIBUTION
Priority Amongst Different Needs
The funding available under the Consolidated Plan maybe used to meet a wide variety
of needs. The City established local priority needs based on the housing market
analaysis and other research conducted as part of the 2000 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
Public service activities will be available to all Newport Beach residents. These
activities cater specifically to low and moderate income residents or to groups assumed
to Abe of low and moderate income instead of residents in a specific area. ADA
Improvements will also be made throughout the city as the are primarily intended to
serve persons with disabilities.
Two activities will serve residents on an CDBG - eligible area basis, where more than
29.7 percent of the residents are of low and moderate income`:
. Balboa Target Area:The target area is located in Block group 628.2. Acccrding
to HUD, this block group's population is 31% low moderate income and therefore
qualifies for CDBG assistance. Please refer to the map on the following page.
. Code Enforcement: Code Enforcement is a city -wide activity. However, the City
will ensure that at least 51 % of the responses will be located within the low and
moderate income areas of the City. Please refer to the map on the following
page.
