3 - FY2019-20 includes a one-time funding of $2 million from SB1090 Diablo Closure
1 - Includes $146,000 in FY 20-21 actuals that are from FY 19-20 due to the sales tax deferral programs
2019-20

The Current Picture
The upside
•Sales Tax revenues are performing better than expected (this is true across the State)
•Expenditures on track with reduced budget as part of 20-21 supplemental budget
The downside
•Still too many unknowns: availability of a vaccination, elections, additional stimulus, financial market stability,
tourism & event industry, consumer confidence
•Universities remaining mainly virtual
•Business closures, online shopping
•Re-opening fluctuations
•Budget balancing solutions not sustainable
The financial gap is not getting wider at this time, but an
extended economic downturn could put the City in a
negative position requiring further action.

•No net new building emissions from onsite energy use by 2020

For the City to be successful, alignment with the goals adopted in the Climate Action Plan will need to be
given consideration in nearly all Financial Plan decisions.

Staff engaged in informal discussions with CRLA after the
City had received their formal letter from HCD on September
4,2020.
Staff provided a letter to CRLA on November 13,2020 in
response to two letters,one received on August 14,2020 and
another received on September 1,2020.
Staff received a third letter from CRLA on Monday,November
16,2020.
Staff appreciates CRLA’s response to the City’s letter,
however no new topics were identified and the letter largely
discusses items that would be desirable in the Housing
Element Update,but are not legally required.
What happens if the Housing Element is not
adopted?
If the City does not adopt its Housing Element Update
before the end of the year,then it will be without a
Housing Element until the update is certified by the
State.
Without a Housing Element,the City would not be
eligible for grant applications through HCD or other
State funding resources.
Over the past several years,the City has received well
over $1 million in grants from the State.

purpose.

Why is the project proposed?
143
◼Planning Commission approved a 296-unit multi-family project in the NG-30 zone
within SLR on March 11, 2020
◼That project included 26 deed restricted units affordable to very low income
households
◼Planning Commission encouraged more affordable housing in SLR, and
encouraged a mixed use project in the NC zone with affordable housing
◼Condition 15.B. allowed that if an affordable housing project were approved in the
NC zone, the MFR project requirement for 26 deed restricted units could be
transferred to the NC project. These would be added to the existing requirement
in the NC zone to build 34 inclusionary units or to provide an equivalent in -lieu fee.
◼The proposed project would include 64-77 affordable units, or up to 17 more
affordable units than if the project were not built
◼The 26 units in question in the MFR project would become market rate units
