The CDC is the lead agency for the Sonoma County Continuum of Care (CoC) which receives approximately $3 million annually in HUD CoC funding. HomeBase presented preliminary recommendations for redesigning the system of care to the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors on August 22, 2017, and the City Council on September 26, 2017. On November 7, 2017, a joint meeting of the Board of Supervisors and the City Council was held during which representatives from each body were appointed to a Joint County of Sonoma and City of Santa Rosa Homeless System of Care Redesign Ad Hoc Committee. As a result of the HomeBase study and ten months of planning between staff, stakeholders, and the Ad Hoc Committee, including meeting with the existing CoC Board, the Ad Hoc Committee developed a governance structure for the new Sonoma County Homeless System of Care, comprised of a Leadership Council and a Technical Advisory Committee, outlined in the Redesign Plan (attached). It is necessary to have the new Leadership Council formed by or before November 2018 in order to authorize and access approximately $12.1 million in State funding through the Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP), which will become available in January 2019. Staff is asking the Mayor to appoint two members of the Council to the Leadership Council of the City of Santa Rosa Regular Meeting Minutes Page 10 of 19 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - Final September 25, 2018 new Sonoma County Homeless System of Care, the HUD mandated CoC program for Sonoma County.

PUBLIC HEARINGS 15.1 PUBLIC HEARING - ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT UTILITY CONNECTION FEES BACKGROUND: On December 5, 2017, the City Council introduced an ordinance amending the Santa Rosa Zoning Code to allow for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADU) in compliance with State law and in support of the City’s Housing Action Plan, and approved a resolution reducing capital facilities and park impact fees for new ADU’s. Subsequently, on December 12, 2017, the Council adopted the aforementioned ordinance, and, on December 19, 2017, the Council approved a second resolution to reduce the Southeast and Southwest Area Development Impact fees (SEADIF and SWADIF, respectively) for new ADU’s. The City Council will consider an additional amendment to the ADU ordinance to no longer require new or separate utility connection or related connection fee or capacity charge for new accessory dwelling units that are 750 square-feet or smaller. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning and Economic Development Department that the Council introduce an ordinance amending Title 20 of the Santa Rosa City Code, amending Section 20-42.130(D)(3)(b), Utility Connection Fees, to no longer require new or separate utility connection or related connection fee or capacity charge for new accessory dwelling units that are 750 square-feet or smaller.

On April 10, 2018, the City Council adopted the sections City of Santa Rosa Regular Meeting Minutes Page 17 of 19 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - Final September 25, 2018 of the ordinance that relate to temporary housing and structures, and accessory dwelling units. On May 22, 2018, the Council adopted the remaining sections of the ordinance, related to reduced review authority for residential, lodging and childcare facilities. As part of the temporary housing section, the ordinance includes language to waive water and wastewater connection/demand fees. However, the City’s other development impact fees, including capital facilities, housing and parks impact fees, were not addressed. Due to the temporary nature of the housing, it has been determined that omitting a waiver of these additional impact fees was an oversight and should be added to Chapter 20-16. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning and Economic Development Department that the Council introduce an ordinance amending Title 20 of the Santa Rosa City Code, adding Section 20-16.030(E), Impact Fees, to Chapter 20-16, Resilient City Development Measures, to address waiving of capital facilities, housing and parks impact fees for temporary housing.
