A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS
OBISPO, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING THE 2023 COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM
WHEREAS, 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 1, 2022, 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 and that projects would be reviewed separately
during the entitlement and/or permitting phase.
SECTION 2. 2022-23 Community Development Block Grant Program
Amendments. The City’s 2022-23 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 2022-23 Consolidated Plan.

Development Director is authorized to act on behalf of the City in executing grant
agreements and other actions necessary to implement the approved Consolidated Plan
and CDBG Program, including revisions to funding amounts for the 2022-23 CDBG
Program if the City’s actual CDBG allocation is different than expected.
