The questions are below with staff’s responses shown in italics: 1) It’s noted in the report that CAPSLO received $412,005 in 2025 for homeless services. Is that the full amount annually (at least in that year) that we provided, including hotel voucher funds and any other “pots” (like even including an HRC grants)? The 2025 funding allocation for CAPSLO included the following operational and programmatic costs for 40 Prado Homeless Services Center, which are outlined in the City’s annual funding agreement: • 40 Prado HSC Operational Support: $186,826 • 40 Prado Hotel & Motel Program: $90,000 • 40 Prado Safe Parking Program: $26,000 • 40 Prado Warming Center: $10,000 • Community Safe Parking Pilot Program: $80,984 • Encampment Resolution Fund Grant – Sub-Contracting Fees for Outreach Services: $18,195 • Total: $412,005 The total funding amount does not include additional grant funds that CAPSLO received from the City in FY 25-26, which are outlined below: • Human Services Grant: $20,000 • Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funding: $64,357 • Childcare Grant: $50,000 • Total: $134,357 ITEM #7a. 2025 GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL REPORT Page 2 2) On page 120, we see our RHNA table noting that we need about 500 more units in the very and extremely low category. Have the projects at Bridge Street, Welcome Home Village and Beacon been counted yet, or will those go against the 500 we still need? Also, what about the BMR units in San Luis Ranch…when are those set to begin construction and will those go against our 500 number we still need? The Bridge Street Family Apartments project (30 units) and Beacon Studios (79 units) had permits issued in 2024 and were counted in the RHNA table for last year’s report. Staff is researching whether the City can count the 54-unit Welcome Home Village project towards its RHNA progress, as the project is located on County-owned land and the County is the permitting authority. Staff reached out to HCD inquiring whether the project can be counted and will revise the RHNA table accordingly once a determination is made. San Luis Ranch has completed construction and occupancy of 577 residential units in the specific plan area. In December 2024, City Council approved initiation of Specific Plan and Development Agreement amendments to allow for the construction of 2 76 market rate residential units on Lot 7 in place of the initially planned commercial use. A 1.85 acre portion of Lot 7 is planned to be donated to People’s Self-Help Housing to allow for the construction of 69 to 77 below market rate rental units to satisfy the remaining inclusionary housing requirements of the San Luis Ranch Specific Plan and Development Agreement. The project developer for Lot 7 has not yet submitted applications for the necessary amendments to the Specific Plan and Development Agreement. Permits have not yet been issued for the PSHH development and therefore it is not counted in the RHNA progress table. 3) Page 127 mentions the Pratt Property and says that townhomes are under construction. When are those set to be done and are there any BMR in that development? There are 4 live-work townhomes located at 1192, 1194, 1196, and 1198 Tiburon Way that are under construction. These are the final remaining residential units on the Pratt property. The Righetti sales website for these units projects a Summer 2026 completion date. None of these units are below market rate. The Pratt property contains 68 below market rate rental units all provided in the Tiburon Place development by People’s Self-Help Housing. 4) On page 157, the report talks about code enforcement and neighborhood preservation cases. Can you clarify the difference between those two categories? Neighborhood Preservation code cases cover violations of property maintenance standards, such as improper storage of waste receptacles, overgrown vegetation, graffiti, and other violations of the standards identified in Municipal Code Chapter 17.76. Code Enforcement cases cover all other violations, such as unpermitted construction, substandard housing, land use violations, and other violations of the municipal code, building code, fire code, and other laws as applicable.
