RESOLUTION NO. 11385 (2023 SERIES)
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS
OBISPO, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING THE 2023-24 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 Human Relations Commission held a public hearing on
December 7, 2022, to consider funding recommendations and provided a
recommendation to Council, 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 proposed CDBG funding
allocations are exempt from environmental review per California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) Guidelines under the General Rule (Section 15061(b)(2)) where the funding
allocation is intended to provide for the approved project application ARCH-0221-2021
that has been determined to be categorically exempt from the provisions of the CEQA
(Class 32, Infill Exemption), the application is not barred by any of the exceptions set forth
in Section 15300.2. It can be seen with certainty that CDBG funding allocations could not
have a significant effect on the environment.
SECTION 2. 2023-24 Community Development Block Grant Program
Amendments. The City’s 2023-24 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 2024 Consolidated Plan.
