COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION At its regular meeting of February 11, 2015, by a vote of 5:0, the Community Redevelopment and Housing Commission conducted a public hearing and recommended that the City Council approve a substantial amendment to the 2014 -2015 Annual Action Plan approving the reallocation of Community Development Grant funds, and authorizing its submittal to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. DISCUSSION In May 2014, the City submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) an Annual Action Plan for fiscal year 2014 - 2015. The Annual Action Plan is the document whereby the City formally applies to HUD for the annual federal grant allocations and describes how those grant funds will be utilized. Since the approval of the Annual Action Plan, a new and a pending Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) eligible capital improvement project, and a HOME New Construction program have been identified. There is an urgent need for capital Improvements at the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC) to bring the facility up to current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. The ADA improvements in the amount of $260,000 will ensure that the State of California Employment Development Department continues to partner with the City of Santa Ana 29A -1 2014 -2015 Annual Action Plan Substantial Amendments March 3, 2015 Page 2 for the operation of the Santa Ana WORK Center. Staff has identified that funding for this project is available through unallocated CDBG funds from the prior year. Neighborhood sponsored capital improvement projects have a current balance of $56,771 remaining from a CDBG FY 2009 -2010 allocation. These funds will be utilized to undertake neighborhood driven capital improvements for the revitalization of deteriorated or deteriorating CDBG eligible areas. Staff recommends including this project in the Substantial Amendment to recognize it in the current year Action Plan for HUD reporting purposes. The HOME New Construction program will allocate $380,000 of HOME funds to undertake new construction of rental housing. These HOME funds will be utilized to fund a rental project located at 815 N. Harbor Boulevard (Exhibit 1) and will allow the City to meet its required commitment deadline of HOME funds by July 2015. Since the projects described above were not identified in the 2014 -2015 Annual Action Plan, staff drafted a Substantial Amendment to the Plan (Exhibit 2) to reallocate and recognize funding for these projects. Legal notice for this CDBG and HOME substantial amendment was published in the Orange County Register, La Opinion and Nguoi Viet News on December 28, 2014. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #5, (Community Health, Livability, Engagement and Sustainability). FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. Kelly ReenrV ' U Executive ector Community Development Agency KR/SS /sv /sb Exhibit: 1. 815 N.

Title 24 Section 91.505 of the Code of Federal Regulations stipulates that participating jurisdictions shall amend their approved plans whenever they make one of the following decisions: 1. To make a change in its allocation priorities or a change in the method of distribution of funds; 2. To carry out an activity, using funds from any program covered by the Consolidated Plan (including program income) not previously described in the action plan; or 3. To change the purpose, scope, location, or beneficiaries of an activity. The Regulation further requires that jurisdictions identify in their citizen participation plans the criteria they will use for determining what constitutes a substantial amendment. Consistent with these requirements, the Citizen Participation Plan adopted by the City of Santa Ana as a component of its 2010/11— 2014/15 Consolidated Five Year Plan identifies three criteria that will require a substantial amendment: 1. Changes in the use of CDBG funds from one eligible activity to another; 2. An activity is undertaken that was not previously included in the Consolidated Plan or subsequent action plans. 3. More than 30 percent of the most recent annual federal grant allocation is reallocated to other eligible program activities within the fiscal year. The proposed amendment meets one of these three criteria, and therefore requires a substantial amendment. 02/11/2015 29A -6 SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO THE 2014 -2015 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 2010 /11- 2014 -15 CITY OF SANTA ANA CONSOLIDATEDPLAN I SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO THE 2014/15 ACTION PLAN AMENDMENTS The City is amending the 2014 -2015 Action Plan to include the following projects: • Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements Project Name: Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center ADA Improvements Project Description: This project will involve improving sections of the facility to be ADA compliant.
