SUBJECT: Joint Collaborative Economic Development Committee (CEDC) and Housing Advisory Committee (HAC) presentation to joint City Council and Josephine County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) meeting (subcommittee)

Members of the Collaborative Economic Development Committee (CEDC) and the Housing Advisory Committee (HAC) meet February 18, 2020 to discuss an upcoming presentation to be held on March 30th, 2020.

A joint meeting will be held on March 30th between Grants Pass City Council and Josephine County Board of County Commissioners (BCC). Both the Collaborative Economic Development Committee (CEDC) and the Housing Advisory Committee (HAC) will be provided 30 minutes to present to the joint party.

Minutes of the meeting are attached.

Opened: 10:37

Meeting

Members of the Collaborative Economic Development Committee (CEDC) and the Housing Advisory Committee (HAC) meet February 18, 2020 to discuss an upcoming presentation to be held on March 30th, 2020.

A joint meeting will be held on March 30th between Grants Pass City Council and Josephine County Board of Supervisors. Both the Collaborative Economic Development Committee (CEDC) and the Housing Advisory Committee (HAC) will be provided 30 minutes to present to the joint party.

Minutes:

Doug Walker: Asante and Chamber will deliver a letter about the importance of housing; staff will prepare the quote about the 1.5 jobs created per LIHTC project per the blue-sky study. There should be a focus on the development of surplus properties with higher density projects to bring more housing and ensure Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) expansion. Higher densities are less costly. It is important that the properties being sold have a minimum density. Future zoning should consider density minimums.

It’s important to have a presentation to ensure a point is brought across and not too much time is taken by conversation.

Outcome: we want an action to be taken by the Council and Board of Commissioners

The CHIP should be mentioned as part of the conversation. This is important because it shows how the healthcare industry is recognizing housing as a determinant of health.

There is concern that economic impacts of housing haven’t been touched enough which might be important for council.

The lack of housing is making it difficult for employers to attract employers (health care, school, etc)

Consider the waving of System Development Charges (SDCs) for certain income levels.

CEDC would like to see RFPs for City properties within the City.

Outcome: recommend that staff prepare RFPs for public lands to develop projects which meet recommended standards.

Presentation should be at least 15 minutes. Follow this process: What is the problem > why do we care? (employment, businesses/shopping, schools, veterans) > now what? (what are some actions that should be taken?)

Minimum densities (or transportation-oriented development) along transit lines to ensure expansion

RFP can seek pilot projects that could make use of project-based voucher programs.


There needs to be outreach outside of the market to bring in developers.

RFPs can seek to reduce the price of property or waiving of development requirements.

Consider use of land trusts, neighborhood cleanup, and receivership to revitalize areas of the City.

How do we incentivize the conversion of underutilized properties to housing? Currently, there is no density maximum to housing in commercial zones. This can help drive businesses back into the downtown (SDCs reduction, property tax reduction, MULTE, TOD)?

How does SB 608 effect rents?

How can we support work force housing?

Can we increase maximum heights?

Can transient lodging tax be used for funding of housing?

Potential Funding Sources: Construction Excise Tax (CET), MB 102, Marijuana Tax, General Fund, private donations, utility bill, work with banks to create a private fund.

Cottage Unit Developments – the City was one of the first municipalities to adopt this tool why has no one brought a project under these standards?

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Taylor Graybehl at 541-450-6080 or [email protected].





DATE: 2/13/20

SUBJECT: Outreach Subcommittee

The outreach subcommittee has conducted three (3) meetings since its creation with members Engel, Santucci, Walker, and Wessels present at least one meeting.

So far, the subcommittee has discussed the creation of a housing forum where service providers, non-profits, other interested groups, and the City of Grants Pass would table and give presentations. If found to be important by those hosting the forum, a forum would best fit into the City’s Citizen Participation Plan for the creation of a Consolidated Plan before April 15th.

The City can partner with other organizations to put on a forum by helping with notification but cannot take lead. It is still not clear who will take lead or if the forum will be pursued.

Attached are minutes from previous meetings.

Public Outreach Subcommittee – CDBG Needs and Priorities Minutes 9-11

Attendees: Anne Ingalls, Brad Clark, Kelly Wessels, Sam Engel, Scott Lindberg, Taylor Graybehl

• It’s difficult to get people to come to the meetings, the HAC can champion apublic forum to bring more people.

• We can allow for discussion groups and organize the forum to be moreinclusive. Include stations or other means of engagement during the forum.

• Examine the ECONorthwest forum held in Grants Pass to find ways toincorporate the public.

• Provide the history of what CDBG has accomplished to show the public howit has worked.

• Ask the sub-recipients: what has worked and what hasn’t?• There isn’t a perfect time for sub-recipients but having two meetings and

different times is important for the public.• There should be the same core at both meetings to ensure conformity

between meetings.• Provide at least 30 days of notice.

Exhibit 5.d: Page 2

• Have childcare or welcome families. • Collaborate with other groups to allow for other hosts (this would allow for

funding for meals or childcare). • Tell the public, “We want to achieve much better, your input will funds

allocations.” • This can be an opportunity for those receiving funds (sub-recipients) to get

more public outreach, donations, provide services, and enroll people in services.

• This can be educational about CDBG AND about the programs which help those with needs in the community.

• Those who receive funding can make an argument to the community that they need additional donations. This can lead to more relationships to meet the goals of the HAC.

• The City should present the legal requirements quickly and leave the remaining time to conversations.

• Bullets of information, food, tabling, childcare. • Businesses lack the technical skills but are often willing to donate (food,

space, etc). • Can we get sponsors from the community? • Can we get the schools to share the difficulties faced by homeless children

and how CDBG or other programs can help? • There were more champions which were very visible for the food bank, but

this hasn’t been translated to housing. • Admit the difficulties of the food bank but let people know we have learned

and are going to address housing. • Do we have possible projects in the community which we could allocate

funding to? • Use the foundry village as an example of CDBG and the difficulties of the

program. • Education about housing needs to be provided to all levels of the

community because most are stuck in a single-family dwelling mindset.

Takeaways

• Have an interactive public forum.

Exhibit 5.d: Page 3

• Utilize partners in hosting the forum, this can help provide food and childcare.

• Allow sub-committees to do outreach because some programs. need funding outside of what the government can provide.

• Brief discussion on the technicalities of CDGB. • Use Foundry Village as an example. • Own up food bank, say we have learned a lot, and now intend to focus on

housing. • Have two meetings, one in the day and one at night. Insure that there is the

same core at each meeting. • We need champions to address the subject. • The forum needs to be fun. • Educate about social determinants of health and how it relates to CDBG.

Questions and Next Steps

• Who will help host/facilitate? o A source outside the City may be more technically skilled at

facilitating, permits more interaction for City staff, other groups can bring in funding which the City would not have.

• Where should the forum be it be hosted? o Will someone donate/rent a place for a discount? o Can a school host?

• What topics will be covered? o Brief bullet point on CDBG, Foundry Village lessons, Food Bank

lessons. o What other topics?

• How should the forum should be ran? o Presentation by City, presentation by other groups, tabling/input

session? o What other actions should take place during the forum? Like

vaccines, flu shots, signing up people for services. • When should the forum be hosted?

o Can we have the event in tandem with another event? o Have two meetings one during the day and one during the night.

Exhibit 5.d: Page 4

• Can we receive donations from other entities? o Food, child care, etc.

• Outreach? o How do we inform people the event is happening? o How do we get media to run with the program? o Can we get connected Champions on board?

Blue Zones o We need to get Rotary involved.

• Who else should be there? o This can provide the group with more community outreach?

• What other co-benefits can arise during this forum? o Getting data from attendants, etc. o Vaccines o Sign people up for services

Exhibit 5.d: Page 5

CDBG – Needs and Priorities Forum Minutes 12-11-19

Attendees: Anne Ingalls, Justina Fyfe, Susan Seereiter, Teresa Santucci, Taylor Graybehl

Item 1 – When and Where

• Do on the 25th of February around 6:00 pm. • 6:00 pm is when City council meetings are held so people are used to the time and they have

had some time off work. • This can be done at the senior center. This project heavily utilized CDBG and is a neutral

location. • RVCOG – contact point (Michael Cavallaro or Peter Town) • Not on a Wednesday or during another City meeting. Tuesday is a good day for public energy

level. • February 4th , 11th , 25th (11th is the SOREDI meeting)

o The 25th is great because it provides us the opportunity to present the time at other functions throughout the month.

Item 2 - Who

• Having all the subrecipients present has really helped in previous CDBG presentations and can help make clear the importance of CDBG.

• Personally invite private sector donors who can assist the subrecipients with further fund raising.

• Personally invite representatives of other communities • Housing Advisory Committee • RVCOG – they need to make clear how important CDBG money was for the project. They can

share how to SUCCESSFULLY complete a project. • HUD Liaison • Elected Officials (Local and State) – Dwayne Stark • Church’s – what’s on their wish list? • Governor’s office, DLCD, LCD, • JCCN – Todd Bloomquest and Peter Buckley • Chamber, Rotary Club • What other groups are doing presentations around this time period?

Item 3 – Forum Content

• There needs to be a facilitator, to guide discussion. • We should make focus groups (round tables) around each eligible activity which are represented

by individual members on the HAC (or some other group that is representative). Consider previous recipients as well.

• Show previous allocation of funding and what is not being used.

Exhibit 5.d: Page 6

• Explore how to better utilize weatherization (this program is complicated and difficult to use at the individual site level).

• Food, beverages, childcare • Ask the public to assist with childcare (senior center)

Next Steps:

• Reserve the Senior Center – RVCOG Michael Cavallaro • Develop Outreach Program

o Recipients o Officials?

• Develop agenda o Planning will need to develop an agenda o We will break into the three separate categories o Will each group be provided the opportunity to share their program?

• Provide materials o What materials? o Who will pay?

• Find a facilitator

Exhibit 5.d: Page 7

Item 3 – Materials

• We need to explore this more.

Item 4 – Find a Facilitator

• Who will do this?

Next Steps:

Add to HAC agenda time to discuss CAPER review Add item to HAC agenda to adopt some sort of public outreach program to assist with creation

of a Housing Forum

Exhibit 5.d: Page 8



DATE: February 21, 2020 SUBJECT: System Development Charges (SDCs) Exceptions

Who met? Jason Elzy, Teresa Santucci, DJ Faszer, David Corsi, Doug Walker What are System Development Charges? As our community grows, old systems need to be updated and new systems must be built. System developments charges are on way to fund those improvements. SDCs are required to ensure equitable share of the cost of services and City-wide improvements. Current SDCs and Proposed The applicant is responsible for any System Development Charges (SDCs) including but not limited to, transportation, parks and storm drain, payable at the time of building permit or at time of Certificate of Occupancy, if deferred. Residential development faces different system development charges based on the size of the unit and number of units proposed in the development. The table below is for multi-unit projects of 4 units or more. Multi-unit residential development undergoes a .64 modifier to reduce charges when compared to commercial or industrial projects. System Development Charge Current Proposed Parks (per unit) $894.71 $894.71 Sewer (per unit) $2,070.40 $1,700.00

Storm (project site) $525.11 per

development project $.0274 per sf of new impervious surfacing

Water (project site) Based on water meter size 1.5" $17,813 $20,024 2.0" $28,500 $32,038 3.0" $57,004 $64,077

Transportation Based on project type Multi-Low Rise - 1 to 2 stories (7.32 trips

per unit $119.56/trip $119.56/trip

Multi-Medium Rise - 3 to 10 stories (5.44 trips per unit) $119.56/trip $119.56/trip

Affordable Housing - determined through trip generation report

$119.56/trip $119.56/trip

Attached is a System Development Charges brochure which provides the current fees associated with a single-family, duplex, and triplex development.

Exhibit 5.e: Page 1


Recommendations The SDC exception program should have a 5-year window to reevaluate the program and make any necessary changes. Projects deemed affordable at 80% AMI should have a 100% waiver of SDCs with a 30-year deed restriction. Projects deemed affordable at 80-120% AMI should have a 50% waiver of SDCs with a 20-year deed restriction. Penalties One concerned raised in the meeting was penalties for breaking the agreement associated with the exception exemption. Staff spoke with the City of Ashland and found that they are facing this issue with two properties. Ashland’s current agreement has an SDC recapture with interest clause and a foreclosure clause, which they believe they will be required to use with one of their cases. One property is renting their unit (when not permitted) to unqualified renters (income too high) and the other using their unit as a vacation rental. The above-mentioned vacation rental owner has refused to pay the SDC’s + inflation amount due, so foreclosure may have to be sought. Ashland wishes there was some sort of clause that allowed for a fine because this person is fine with renting the property at +$2000 a month instead of the agreed maximum of $750. So, the violator brings $1,250 in excess a month knowing it will take months for the legal proceedings to conclude her to pay back the $10,000 with interest she owes. As the legal proceeding is expected to take a period of time the dwelling owner will likely make the $10,000 or more back before the hearing. Ashland believes a fee could act as a deterrent and allow for short term enforcement of violations. Why? The Housing Element of the Grants Pass Community Comprehensive Plan lays out the number of housing units which need to be built to meet the needs of the community to 2023. It appears the required density and percentage of multi-family units developed has not met. Please read the attached “Housing Element Housing Production Expectations” memo for further details. SDC exceptions are one tool to see required housing development is met. ************************************************************************ As requested by the Housing Advisory Committee feel free to contact me with any specific questions.

Exhibit 5.e: Page 4



DATE: February 21, 2020 SUBJECT: Housing Element Housing Production Expectations

What is a Comprehensive Plan? The foundation of land use planning in Oregon is a set of 19 Statewide Land Use Planning Goals. The goals express the state's policies on land use and related topics, like citizen involvement, housing, and natural resources. Oregon's statewide goals are achieved through local comprehensive planning. State law requires each city and county to adopt a comprehensive plan and the zoning and land-division ordinances needed to put the plan into effect. Goal 10: Housing Goal 10 requires cities to complete an inventory of buildable residential lands and to encourage the availability of adequate numbers of housing units in price and rent ranges in line with the financial capabilities of its households. Element 9: The Housing Element The Housing Element of the Grants Pass Community Comprehensive Plan addresses the requirements of Goal 10. The primary goals of the chapter are to (1) describe characteristics of the existing mix and density of housing in Grants Pass, (2) describe recent residential development trends in the City, (3) evaluate housing affordability, and (4) project future need for housing in Grants Pass. This chapter was last updated in 2014 to reflect the Josephine County Coordinated Population Forecast 2014 update. This update recalculated the needs for housing units, group quarters, and residential land needs for housing. New Housing Units by Type Table 1-2 (below) shows the needs for housing units by planning periods and housing type, based on updated population forecasts. These needs are broken out by a 2008 housing element update, an update in 2009, and the 2014 update.

Exhibit 5.e: Page 5


To meet housing needs during this UGB expansion (from 2013-2033) it is expected that a total of 5,643 dwelling units are produced of which 1,411 (25%) are from multi-unit development. Required Development Density Table 1-5 (below) shows the updated needs for housing units, with the needed number of housing units shown by plan designation. This is broken out by a 2008 housing element update, an update in 2009, and the 2014 update. The 2014 update shows the expected number of dwelling units that need to be developed over different time frames and expansions of the City urban growth boundary (UGB) to meet forecasted population needs. The distribution and percentage of housing types assigned to each plan designation, and the resulting average density by plan designation, uses the same basis as the original Housing and Urbanization Elements.

What has been built? To meet the City’s housing needs, the range of development densities within the UGB should meet the targets found in Table 1-2 and 1-5. It is important to track and

Exhibit 5.e: Page 6

periodically review development to ensure the housing needs of the City are being met. This helps to ensure a diverse housing inventory that meets the needs of different incomes, family sizes, lifestyles, and geographic preferences. Additionally, if adequate housing is not provided, it may lead to a housing shortage and higher housing prices. The table below shows the number and type of units produced during 2019, the shaded sections indicate single-family units. Housing Type: Produced Units: Single Family 103 Manufactured Home 17 Duplex 10 Triplex 1 Fourplex 0 +5 Units 0

In 2019, 120 single-family (91%) units and 11 multi-family (8.4%) dwellings were produced. The City failed to meet the 25% ratio of multi-unit development, stated in Table 1-2, to supply its housing needs. What’s next? The City will calculate development density by plan designation to see if the targets have been met. If the average gross density developed does not meet those found in Table 1-5 then it may be necessary to adopt tools, incentives, or other land use regulations to ensure an adequate number of dwelling units are provided which meets the types and affordability levels for the citizens of Grants Pass. ************************************************************************ As requested by the Housing Advisory Committee feel free to contact me with any specific questions.

Each year, the City of Grants Pass receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to be used for projects which predominantly benefit low- to moderate income persons, prevent/eliminate blight, or meet urgent community needs which pose a serious threat to the health, safety and welfare of citizens.

In 2015, the City adopted a 5-Year “Consolidated Plan” which guides use of CDBG funds over the next five years. Each year, the City prepares a 1-Year Action Plan to allocate annual grant funds for specific activities to address identified needs.

The City will be preparing a new 5-Year “Consolidated Plan” for 2020-2024 and a new Year 1 Annual Action Plan for 2020-2021. To assist with development of the plans, the City would like your input to help identify critical housing and community development needs and priorities. Help us identify how CDBG or other publicly funded activities will address the needs of the City’s predominantly lower-income households.

The City will also be completing an annual evaluation and performance report regarding last year’s CDBG program. Let us know how CDBG or other publicly funded activities implemented during 2019-2020 addressed the needs of the City’s predominantly lower-income households.

SUBJECT: Rezone of Urbanizing Area

Background

The City of Grants Pass has hired JET Planning and 3J consulting to work collaboratively to

support City staff on the Urbanizing Area (UA) rezoning process. The City desires to rezone

existing rural properties within the adopted Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) to support

coordinated, urban-level development, particularly needed residential development. The

project will not include annexation of the properties within the UA.

The rezoning effort will focus on the properties within the City’s UGB that are outside the

city limits, known as the Urbanizing Area, excluding properties already designated with the

Zoning Transition Overlay (ZTO) that applies future City zoning. Those properties zoned

County rural zoning will adopt zoning designations that meet the City’s adopted

Comprehensive Plan designations.

The UA rezoning project is anticipated to follow directly after adopted of the TSP, consistent

with Goal 14 Urbanization goals and policies adopted in the City’s 2014 Comprehensive Plan

requiring preparation of the updated TSP.

Project Schedule

The following schedule has been proposed for Urbanizing Area Rezone Project.
