A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT
BEACH APPROVING A SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT OF THE
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT 2010 -2011 AND 2011-
2012 ANNUAL ACTION PLANS
WHEREAS, the City of Newport Beach participates in the Department of
Housing and Urban Development's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG); and
WHEREAS, on August 26, 2009, the City of Newport Beach conducted a
Community Meeting with Newport Beach residents and community based organizations
to evaluate the current level of services offered and to identify any new community
needs; and
WHEREAS, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires
the City to prepare a 5 -year "Consolidated Plan" document for the CDBG program and
the 2010 -2014 Consolidated Plan was adopted by the City Council on April 27, 2010;
and
WHEREAS, On April 27, 2010, the City Council approved the 2010 -2011 Annual
Action Plan that included a grant program to assist low- income homeowners to defray
the costs associated with private connection to newly undergrounded utilities. To date,
no one has participated and the funding for this activity ($65,922) has remained
unspent; and
WHEREAS, On April 26, 2011, the City Council approved the 2011 -2012 Annual
Action Plan that included funding for disability related improvements to curbs, gutters
and sidewalks. The funding level for this activity ($8,802) was not sufficient to
implement the activity; and
WHEREAS, on March 29, 2012, the City published a public notice in the Daily
Pilot newspaper indicating that the Substantial Amendment of the 2010 -2011 and 2011-
2012 Annual Action Plans would be available to the public for review and comment
from March 29, 2012 to May 8, 2012; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the community needs, priorities,
and strategies set forth in the Consolidated Plan and the Housing Element of the
General Plan and concludes the cancellation of the 2010 -2011 Utility Assessment
District Grant Program and the 2011 -2012 Sidewalk, Curb and Gutter Improvements is
warranted and will allow reallocation of the funds to other eligible activities within the
2012 -2013 Annual Action Plan consistent with the Consolidated Plan and Housing
Element; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will
not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378)
of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it
has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or
indirectly.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The 2010 -11 Annual Action Plan is amended by canceling the
2010 -2011 Utility Assessment District Grant program. Funds allocated to this activity
