4. PUBLIC HEARINGS

4.1. HEARING TO APPROVE THE 2020-2024 HUD CONSOLIDATED PLAN The City of Chico is an entitlement grantee for the receipt of federal funds through two programs administered by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD): Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnerships Grant (HOME). As an entitlement grantee, the City's receipt of funds is contingent upon City compliance with a variety of planning and administrative requirements. One of the requirements is the submission of a "Consolidated Plan" every five years, including the first Annual Plan for 2020-2021, and a review of the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing. At its May 5, 2020 meeting, the City Council conducted a hearing on the draft 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and directed staff to schedule a second hearing for adoption of the Plan at its meeting on June 2, 2020.

4.3. HEARING TO CONSIDER A RESOLUTION TO TEMPORARILY CLOSE OLD HUMBOLDT ROAD TO VEHICLES PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 10.53 OF THE CHICO MUNICIPAL CODE City of Chico staff, Butte County staff, and elected officials assigned to the Local Government Committee have discussed impacts of littering and criminal activity on Old Humboldt Road on numerous occasions starting in 2017. The easterly upper portion of the road is County jurisdiction and the westerly lower portion is City jurisdiction. Resources from both agencies are commonly deployed to deal with illegal dumping and nefarious activity on this road that serves no access for essential through-traffic or services. On 2/4/20, the Chico City Council adopted Ordinance No, 2546 amending Title 10 of the Chico Municipal Code adding Chapter 10.53 relating to temporary road closures. Under the new code, the City Council by resolution may temporarily close streets and roads to address criminal activity and illegal littering/dumping for 18-months at a time, and may renew such closures for additional 18-month periods up to eight times.

4.4. HEARING TO CONSIDER ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS Several bills went into effect on January 1, 2020, affecting the development regulations for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs). These new State regulations limit the ability of local jurisdictions to issue discretionary approvals, increase allowances and define standards for ADUs and JADUs. Local ordinances that do not conform to the new State laws are null and void. While the City currently has regulations in place to allow for ADUs, further amendments to these regulations are required for consistency with the new State housing laws. (Report - Brendan Vieg, Community Development Director - Planning)
