RESOLUTION NO. 11228 (2021 SERIES)
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS
OBISPO, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING THE 2021 COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the City of San Luis Obispo is a participating jurisdiction in the San Luis
Obispo Urban County, along with the cities of Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, Morro Bay, Paso
Robles, Pismo Beach, and the County of San Luis Obispo; and
WHEREAS, said cities and County cooperatively administer several federal grant
programs under the provisions of the 2021-2023 Cooperative Agreement between the City and
County dated July 7, 2020, and under applicable U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development Department (HUD) rules; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to said agreement, the Urban County Public Participation Plan, and
HUD rules, the City Council held a public hearing on March 2, 2021, to consider funding
recommendations by the Human Relations Commission (HRC), to review applications for federal
grant funding, and to consider public comments on community needs and the use of such funds;
and
WHEREAS, the Council has considered applications for Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) funds, public testimony, the Urban County’s proposed One-Year Action Plan, and
the HRC and staff recommendations included in the agenda report; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo
as follows:
SECTION 1. Environmental Determination. The project is exempt from environmental
review per CEQA Guidelines under the General Rule (Section 15061(b)(3)). It can be seen with
certainty that CDBG funding allocations could not have a significant effect on the environment.
SECTION 2. 2021 Community Development Block Grant Program Amendments. The
City’s 2021 Community Development Block Grant Program is hereby approved. The Community
Development Director is authorized to approve final dollar amounts once HUD releases allocations
with the direction to make up differences in the two amounts.
SECTION 3. Board of Supervisors Consideration. The Council hereby forwards the
above actions to the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors for consideration prior to the
Board’s final action on the Urban County’s 2021 Consolidated Plan.

allocation is different than expected.
