SUBJECT: PROPOSITION 84 GRANT FOR LAND USE AND CIRCULATION
ELEMENTS UPDATE
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution to:
1. Authorize staff to prepare and submit a grant application of approximately $1,000,000 to the
Strategic Growth Council for a Sustainable Communities Planning Grant under Proposition
84 funds for update of the Land Use and Circulation Elements.
2. If grant is awarded, authorize the City Manager to accept the grant and execute all grant-
related documents.
DISCUSSION
The State of California has announced a grant program to implement the vision of the Legislature to
foster the development of sustainable communities throughout California. This program was
developed under Proposition 84 and is termed the Sustainable Communities Planning Grant. This
grant is meant to provide an incentive for cities, counties, and Councils of Governments (COGs) to
develop and implement plans that promote health, reduce energy consumption, conserve water,
improve air and water quality as well as provide other community benefits. At the state level, there
is $90,000,000 in funds that will be awarded with 20% prioritized for projects that target
economically disadvantaged communities and the remainder distributed into three focus areas with a
minimum reservation of. 25% for Local Sustainable Planning efforts; 25% for COGS and
Metropolitan Planning Organizations to collaborate with local governments for implementation of
SB 375; and 10% for implementation of regional plans. Staff is recommending an application under
Focus Area 1: Local Sustainable Planning. Originally, the grant application deadline was May 281'',
however this date has been extended (see Attachment 2). Staff is still recommending Council
authorize preparation of an application so that the City staff will be poised to participate in technical
assistance workshops and have an application ready to submit when the grant application date is
advertised.
In the 2009-2011 Financial Plan, the Council identified update of the Land Use and Circulation
Elements as an "Other Important Objective" and indicated that major work required to update the
two documents would most likely be identified in the 2011-2013 Financial Plan with the assumption
that additional dollars would be required. The Proposition 84 grant would provide a portion of the
funds required to update the elements and could pay for consultant assistance to augment staff for
efforts in public outreach, land use modeling, incorporating strategies from the upcoming Climate
Action Plan into the two elements, and updating the elements to reflect current professional
practices. The grant does not require a local match but will give priority consideration to proposals
that leverage additional resources. These resources can be in the form of in-kind resources such as
G/O��
Proposition 84 Sustainable Communities Planning Grant Page 2
staffing or additional funding. The grant cannot be used to develop an Environmental Impact
Report (EIR). As such, staff is recommending that unless funds become available in the 2011-2013
Financial Plan, development of the environmental evaluation associated with updating the Land Use
and Circulation Elements EIR be developed by Community Development Department staff, with
specialized consultant assistance provided where needed.
If successful, the City will be able to use grant funds to update the Land Use and Circulation
Elements. While Council indicated support for this effort during the 2009-2011 Financial Plan, the
cost associated with update of the elements was prohibitive when weighed against the need to
balance the budget and community priorities identified as part of Measure Y. Having grant funds to
pay for the bulk of this work would provide the financial assistance needed to accomplish this
Council objective. Without grant funding, staff's ability to complete an update to these two key
elements of the general plan will be hindered.
FISCAL IMPACT
If the City is successful in receiving full grant funding from the Sustainable Communities Planning
Grant, up to $1,000,000 will be available for updating the Land Use and Circulation Elements. Staff
recommends a City match of staff resources to conduct the environmental review of the update, with
some specialized consultant assistance as needed (i.e. Noise studies). If additional studies are
required that cannot be covered by staff, a subsequent request for funds will be generated as part of
the 2011-2013 Financial Plan.
ALTERNATIVE
The Council could decide not to pursue the grant monies. This is not recommended as grant
opportunities for planning activities are rare and obtaining these grant funds would assist the City in
meeting a Council objective to update the Land Use and Circulation Elements.

I. Introduction
The Strategic Growth Council requests submittal of Proposals for the.Sustainable Communities Planning Grant and
Incentive Program. Cities, counties, Metropolitan Planning Organizations(MPOs),Joint Powers Authorities (JPAs),
Regional Transportation Planning Agencies (RTPAs), Councils of Governments (COGs), or combination thereof, are
eligible to apply. It is anticipated that proposals funded under this solicitation will be not less than $100,000 nor
greater than $1,000,000 each. The Council may consider higher grant awards for a joint proposal, an application
submitted by one lead applicant with one or more eligible partner entities, coordinated by a planning activity(s)
with defined shared outcomes. Partial funding may be considered to fully maximize grant awards.
The Sustainable Communities Planning Grant is funded by Proposition 84, the Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality
and Supply, Flood Control, River and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2006. It added Division 43 to the Public
Resources Code, Chapter 9, Sustainable Communities and Climate Change Reduction Section 75065(a), authorizing
the Legislature to appropriate $90 million for planning grants and planning incentives that reduce energy
consumption, conserve water, improve air and water quality, and provide other community benefits (see.Appendix
B).
SB 732 Steinberg, (Chapter 13, Statutes of 2008) established the Strategic Growth Council (Council). The Council is
composed of agency secretaries from the Business Transportation and Housing Agency,California Health and Human
Services Agency, California Environmental Protection Agency,the California Natural Resources Agency, the Director
of the Governor's Office of Planning and Research, and a public member, appointed by the Governor(see.Appendix
Q. Under Section 75127 and 75128 of SB 732, Council shall do all of the following: (a) identify and review activities
and funding programs of member state agencies that may be coordinated to improve air and water quality, improve
natural resource protection, meet the goals of the California Global Warming Solution Act of 2006, encourage
sustainable land use planning,and revitalize urban and community centers in a sustainable manner; (b)recommend
policies and investment strategies and priorities to the Governor,the Legislature, and to appropriate state agencies
to encourage the development of sustainable communities, such as those communities that promote equity,
strengthen the economy, protect the environment and promote public health and safety, and is consistent with
subdivision (a) and (c)of Section 75065; (c) provide,fund, and distribute data and information to local governments
and regional agencies that will assist in developing and planning sustainable communities; and (d) manage and
award grants and loans to support the planning and development of sustainable communities.
II. Purpose and Goal
This grant program implements the vision of the Governor and Legislature to foster the development of
sustainable communities throughout California. It is designed to help local governments meet the challenges of
adopting land use plans and integrating strategies in order to transform communities and create long term
prosperity. Sustainable communities shall promote equity, strengthen the economy, protect the environment
and promote healthy, safe communities.
The primary goal of this grant program is to develop and implement plans that reduce greenhouse gas emissions
and achieve the following objectives:
• improve air and water quality,
• promote public health,
• promote equity,
• increase housing affordability,

III. Focusing Funds
At least twenty percent of each round of funding shall be prioritized for projects that target economically
disadvantaged communities (EDC). Projects seeking EDC prioritized funds must show that the planning to be
funded would be primarily or substantially within the geographic boundaries of an EDC. Applicants for an EDC set
aside may also submit one additional non-EDC application. An EDC may be a community or neighborhood within
a city or county. To the extent appropriate, applications for funding from the set-aside should be integrated and
coordinated with the entity's application under the main program,if any.
The Council shall fund proposals that fall within the following three focus areas. Of the balance, the goal is to
focus a minimum of 25%of funds in Focus Area # 1, a minimum of 25% in Focus Area#2, and a minimum of 10%
in Focus Area#3.
Applications will generally be limited to a maximum of$1 million and a minimum of$100,000 per proposal. Partial
funding may be considered to fully maximize grant awards. The Council may consider higher grant awards for a

policy and relies primarily upon regulations, such as specific plans, the zoning ordinance, subdivision ordinances,
and public project consistency requirements. Each general plan policy must have at least one corresponding
implementation measure. Examples of implementation measures: (1)the city shall use tax-increment financing to
pay the costs of replacing old sidewalks in the redevelopment area. (2)The city shall adopt a specific plan for the
industrial park. (3) Areas designated by the land use element for agriculture shall be placed in the agricultural
zone.
In-Kind Contributions: non-cash donations, from governmental or private sources, and includes volunteers,
materials and services.
Indirect/Overhead Costs: expenses of doing business that are of a general nature and are incurred to benefit at
least two or more functions within an organization. These costs are not usually identified specifically with a grant,
grant agreement, plan or activity, but are necessary for the general operation of the organization. Examples of
indirect costs include salaries and benefits of employees not directly assigned to a Proposal; functions such as
personnel, business services, information technology, and salaries of supervisors and managers; and overhead
such as rent,utilities,supplies, etc.
Indicator: are specific data points which will be used to quantify outcomes. See Appendix I for examples of
indicators.
Infrastructure: may include but is not limited to: transportation modes including walking and biking; housing
supply or affordability; energy generation or transmission; water supply or conveyance;water treatment; trees or
other vegetation; parks, open space and other public spaces, solid waste systems; liquid waste systems; or
communications systems such as broadband access.

Attachment 1
Joint Proposal: a application submitted by one lead applicant with one or more eligible partner entities located
adjacent to,or within,the lead applicant's jurisdiction. A single budget must be submitted by the lead applicant.
Budget must describe the funds that will be distributed to partners and identify general activities for which they
are used.
Local City Health Officers: Each county and the cities of Berkeley, Pasadena, and Long Beach have appointed
health officers. These officials have broad authority to take measures as may be necessary to preserve and
protect the public health including, if indicated, the adoption of ordinances, regulations and orders not in conflict
with general laws. (Health and Safety Code § 101000-101030). Local health officers and health departments are
participating increasingly in land use planning to ensure that all neighborhoods in California promote the
opportunity to live a safe, healthy life. See Appendix 0 to access more information.
Milestones:a scheduled event signifying the completion of a major deliverable or a set of related activities.
Natural Resources: the materials and functions that comprise the natural wealth of an area's ecosystems,
including, but not limited to the plants, animals, minerals, air, water, and soil. Among these functions are
watershed catchment, wildlife migration and habitation, forestry, grazing, and crop production. Of particular
importance for complex, large scale natural resources functions are lands that flood, lands that are farmed, lands
dedicated to open space, lands designated for mineral extraction, greenbelts, parks, and trails, and lands valued
for their aesthetics.
Objective: a high level focus or approach to achieve Sustainable Communities requirements and priorities. This
allows flexibility for an entity to focus on issues that are important to its community and have the most beneficial
results. For example,to address the requirement to conserve water, one entity may want to focus on reduction of
commercial water usage because a larger percentage of its water is used by that sector. Another entity may want
to focus on reduction of outdoor residential water usage because it would result in significant water savings.
Other Sources of Funds:cash or in-kind contributions that are required or used to complete the Proposal beyond
the grant funds provided by this program.
Outcome:using indicators (data points)to quantify the results from the deliverable. This should be projected as a
percentage, ratio or number that reflects improvement over your base line. For example, 20% decrease in water
usage. Actual numbers will be required when deliverable is completed and in the final report. See Appendix./for
examples.
Planning Instrument: any plan or ordinance adopted by a Council of Government (COG), Metropolitan Planning
Organization (MPO), Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA), Joint Powers Authority (JPA), City, or
County that implements or incorporates the goals and objectives of the Sustainable Communities Planning Grant
and Incentives Program. Planning instruments must be consistent with a regional plan, when applicable, and
support the creation of sustainable communities. These planning instruments include, but are not.limited to:
- Specific Plans
- General Plans

Climate Action Plans
Zoning Codes
Redevelopment Plans
Master Plans(i.e. Bicycle Master Plans, Port Master Plans,Sustainability Master Plans)
Preparation and Adoption of a General Plan: the process for developing a comprehensive, long-term general
plan for the physical development of the county or city, which isconsistent with the intent of(Proposition 84), SB
732 and the requirements of this Section 75065 of the Public Resources Code and the requirements of this RFP,
that is formally approved by the legislative body of a county or city; as well as preparation and adoption of an
individual element or any other revision of a General Plan meeting the.intent of Section 75065 of Proposition 84,
SB 732 and the requirements of this RFP.
Proposition 84:-See "Bond"
Regional Greenprint Plan: a plan that identifies strategically planned and managed networks of natural lands,
working landscapes (such as farmland, ranchland and working forests), recreational and other open spaces that
conserve ecosystem values and functions, provide associated benefits to human populations and is integrated
into community and regional growth strategies.
Regional Plan: either of the following: 1) A long-range transportation plan developed pursuant to Section 134(g)
of Title 23 of the United States Code and any applicable state requirements,OR 2)A regional blueprint plan,which
is a regional plan that implements statutory requirements intended to foster comprehensive planning as defined
in Section 65041.1 of, Chapter 2.5 (commencing with Section 65080) of Division 1 of title 7 of, and Article 10.6
(commencing with Section 65580)of Chapter 3 of Division 1 of Title 7 of,the Government Code.
Revitalize Urban Areas and Community Centers: for the purpose of this grant program, the rejuvenation and
promotion of reinvestment in a district of a city, county or community, usually typified by a concentration of uses
including residential, retail and commercial buildings, and public spaces.
Specific Plan:a tool for implementing the general plan but is not part a General Plan.A specific plan can combine
policy statements with development regulations (§65450, et seq.). It is often used to address the development
requirements for a single project such as urban infill or a planned community. Its emphasis is on specific standards
and development criteria. A specific plan may be adopted either by resolution or by ordinance. Specific plans
must be consistent with all facets of the General Plan.
State:the Strategic Growth Council or its representative.
Strategy: an approach(es) to achieve an objective. Strategies should indicate the areas you will focus on, to
achieve the objective(s). For example, to improve water conservation the strategy (approach) might be to focus
on agriculture water usage. Another example might be to increase water recycling in all sectors.
14
Attachment 1
Sub-recipient: an entity that will participate in the proposal submitted by the applicant. Sub-recipients must be
included in the work plan and budget form. The lead applicant submits invoices on behalf of the sub-recipient.
The State pays the lead applicant,who then pays the sub-recipient.
Targeted General Plan Update: a general plan update that incorporates elements that achieve the program goal
and focuses on specific program objectives.

APPENDIX D-AB 32 GOALS FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT
(Chapter 488,Statutes of 2006)
A Proposal funded by Proposition 84 planning grants must reduce GHG emissions, as feasible, consistent with AB 32
(HSC section 75126(b)(2)) and must be consistent with a regional plan that, among other things, meets the goals of AB
32 (HSC section 75128(a)). The basic goals,of AB 32 are to reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 (HSC section
38550), and to maintain and continue reductions in emissions of GHGs beyond 2020 (HSC section 38551).
Local and regional planning agencies can help California meet the goals of AB 32 in a number of ways, including but not
limited to, reducing GHG emissions from regional and local government municipal operations, and implementing
changes to land use patterns and transportation infrastructure to reduce vehicle travel (see Scoping Plan, pp. 26-27).
More specifically, local and regional governments can reduce greenhouse gas emissions through actions in the following
areas: (1) municipal and community energy use, (2) municipal and community waste reduction and recycling
operations, (3) community-wide water conservation and water reclamation, (4) urban greening and forests, (5)
improvements to community transportation systems that encourage low carbon transportation options, and (6)
community land use policies that encourage energy efficiency and reduce vehicle travel (see Scoping Plan, Appendix C,
pp. C-52 and 53). A local government or regional planning agency may chose to employ a variety of approaches,
individually or in combination, to reduce GHG emissions from a particular sector of the community or from the
community as a whole. The following table provides examples of types of actions that local governments may take to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Attachment 1
APPENDIX O- REGIONAL OR STATE ADOPTED PLANS
The council wants to promote coordination between local, regional and state efforts. In order to achieve this,a Proposal
must indicate consistency with, or exceed the minimums of, a regional plan or state adopted plan (see Appendix M), as
applicable to its region and to the Proposal.
California Transportation Plan(Department of Transportation)
The California Transportation.Plan(CTP) is a statewide, long-range transportation plan for meeting California's future
mobility needs.The CTP defines goals,policies, and strategies to achieve a vision for California's future transportation
system.This plan,with a minimum 20-year planning horizon, is prepared in response to federal and State requirements
and is updated every five years.CTP 2025 was approved in 2006 and updated by an addendum in October 2007 to
comply with new federal planning requirements governing development of the plan. The next CTP,which will have a
2040 horizon,will be enhanced with the addition of a California Interregional Blueprint(CIB).This new element will
respond to the legislative requirements of SB 391 that require the CTP to articulate the State's vision for an integrated
multimodal interregional transportation system that meets AB 32 goals and complements regional transportation
plans and land use visions. http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/tpp/offices/osp/ctp.html
California Wildlife Action Plan(Department of Fish and Game)
California Wildlife: Conservation Challenges, the. State's wildlife action plan, was developed and produced as
collaboration between the California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) and the Wildlife Health Center at the
University of California, Davis. This report identifies species of habitats of greatest conservation need, the major
stressors affecting native wildlife and habitats, and statewide and region-specific actions needed to restore and
conserve California's wildlife.
Natural Community Conservation Plan:NCCP(Department of Fish and Game)
The primary objective of the NCCP program is to conserve natural communities at the ecosystem scale while
accommodating compatible land use.The program seeks to anticipate and prevent the controversies and gridlock
caused by species' listings by focusing on the long-term stability of wildlife and plant communities and including key
interests in the process. Go to the following link to ensure that the proposal is consistent with any NCCP approved
within your geographic jurisdiction: http://www.dfg.ca.gov/habcon/nccp/status.htmi
State Implementation Plan:SIPS(Air Resource Board)
SIPS are comprehensive plans that describe how an area will attain national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS).The
1990 amendments to the federal Clean Air Act set deadlines for attainment based on the severity of an area's air
pollution problem. SIPS are not single documents. They are a compilation of new and previously submitted plans,
programs (such as monitoring, modeling, permitting, etc.), district rules, state regulations and federal controls. Many of
California's SIPS rely on the same core set of control strategies, including emission standards for cars and heavy trucks,
fuel regulations and limits on emissions from consumer products.
The Surface Mining and Reclamation Act(Department of Conservation)
The Surface Mining and Reclamation Act(SMARA) encourage the production, conservation, and protection of the state's
mineral resources. To address mineral resource conservation, SMARA mandated the classification-designation process.
The objective of this process is to_ensure, through appropriate local lead agency policies and procedures, that mineral
materials will be available when needed and do not become inaccessible due to land-use decisions. Go to the following
link and review maps to ensure that plans are consistent with any designated areas or areas of future designation:

Attachment 1
Integrated Regional Water Management Plan
The Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) Plan is a comprehensive plan for a defined geographic area, with
specific development, content, and adoption that complies with the California Water Code. An IRWM Plan is based on
hydrologic boundaries rather than political boundaries, and describes the major water-related objectives and conflicts
within a region, considers a broad variety of water management strategies, identifies the appropriate mix of water
demand and supply management alternatives, water quality protections, and environmental stewardship actions to
provide long-term high-quality water supply. An IRWM Plan is governed by the designated parties that form a Regional
Water Management Group which must be comprised of three or more local agencies, at least two of which have
statutory authority over water supply or management (as required by CWC Sec 10539), as well as other persons
necessary for the development and implementation of an IRWM Plan. Disadvantaged communities and tribes are
included as Stakeholders of the IRWM Plan and their water-related needs are taken into consideration and incorporated
into the IRWM planning process. (California Water Code Sections 10534 and 10540-10543).
State Water Plan
The California Water Plan provides a framework for water managers, legislators, and the public to consider options and
make decisions regarding California's water future.The Plan, which is updated every five years, presents basic data and
information on California's water resources including water supply evaluations and assessments of agricultural, urban,
and environmental water uses to quantify the gap between water supplies and uses.
RHNA
State housing element law (Government Code Section 65583 et. al.) requires the California Department of Housing and
Community Development (HCD) to allocate the region's share of the statewide housing need to Councils of
Governments (COG) based on Department of Finance population projections and regional population forecasts used in
preparing regional transportation plans.The COG is required to develop a Regional Housing Need Plan (RHNP) allocating
the region's share of the statewide need to cities and counties within the region. The RHNP should promote the
following objectives:
1. Increase the housing supply and the mix of housing types, tenure, and affordability in all cities and counties
within the region in an equitable manner;
2. Promote infill development and socioeconomic equity, the protection of environmental and agricultural
resources, and the encouragement of efficient development patterns;and
3. Promote an improved intraregional relationship between jobs and housing.
