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

WHEREAS, said cities and County cooperatively administer several federal grant

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 February 19, 2019, 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 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 approved the 2019 CDBG
funding recommendations as Resolution No. 10984; and

WHEREAS, County staff reviewed HASLO’s 2019 CDBG application for Special Needs
Acquisition/At-Risk of Homelessness clients, the project description in the 2019 Action Plan as
“Special Needs Acquisition,” and consulted the Urban County’s Community Participation Plan
(CPP). County staff determined the proposal is consistent with Section II – Consolidated/Action

Resolution No. 11169 (2020 Series) Page 2
R 11169
SECTION 1. Administrative Amendment to HASLO’s 2019 Community Development
Block Grant Project. The City Council recommends HUD to approve an administrative
amendment to the 2019 Action Plan to expand HASLO’s 2019 CDBG Project to include the
acquisition of property to include real property acquisition to house at-risk of homelessness clients.
SECTION 2. 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 3. Community Development Director Authority. The Community
Development Director is authorized to act on behalf of the City in executing any other actions
necessary related to this administrative amendment of the 2019 CDBG Program.
