Agency Page 2
Alternative Action
The Council could choose not to accept the REAP 2.0 funds, and Housing Division staff would
search for replacement funds to assist with funding the proposed development.
Background/Analysis
On February 1, 2012, the Redding Redevelopment Agency (RRA) was dissolved pursuant to
Health and Safety Code Sections 34161-34166 and the Council elected for the City of Redding
(City) to serve as the Successor Housing Agency to the former RRA pursuant to Resolution
2012-0007. A11 former RRA housing property assets were transferred to the City — 815 and 825
Parkview Avenue were both former RRA assets.
The 2520 Leland Avenue property is a City of Redding as the Successor Agency asset of which
the transfer and sale of the property need to be approved by the Oversight Board to the City of
Redding as Successor to the Redding Redevelopment Agency. The next Oversight Board
meeting is scheduled in January 2024.
On June 1, 2021, through Resolution 2021-061, the Council declared the parcels located at 815
and 825 Parkview Avenue, and 2520 Leland Avenue (collectively, the Property) were surplus
and pursuant to the Surplus Land Act, they have been cleared for disposition by the California
Department of Housing and Community Development(HCD).
On February 7, 2023, Council adopted a resolution authorizing staff to apply for REAP 2.0
Higher Impact Transformative (HIT) funds. Tf awarded, the funds were to be utilized to assist in
the development of 12 units of income-qualifying housing, which would be situated above
retail/commercial space to be located on the Property (Project). A portion of the income-
qualifying housing units would be made available to assist unsheltered households.
Staff's HIT application was not successful. In a quest to secure funding for the Project, staff
applied to the Shasta Regional Transportation Agency(SRTA) for a subaward of their REAP 2.0
fund allocation- staff was successful in securing $750,000 of grant funding from SRTA.
To facilitate the development of the Project, staff requests that Council review and approve the
attached Request for Proposals - Schedule Number 5423 (IZFP) for publishing. All proposals
received will be evaluated and ranked according to the agreed upon criteria contained in the RFP.
At a future date, staff wi11 return to Council for consideration of a disposition and development
agreement with the successful proposer.
Environmental Review
Applying for and accepting funding is not considered a project under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Any project that is developed will be reviewed for CEQA
compliance once the details are known. No further environmental review action is required at
this time.

III. SCOPE OF SERVICES
The following are possible design elements of the Project that may be incorporated due to funding
source or other requirements.

�� Minimum spaces for car parking
�� On-site laundry or laundry hookups in units
� Bus passes available at no charge for tenants
�� High-speed internet provided for tenants (opens up work-at-home opportunities)
The Project will also have design elements that incorporate a blending of the Parkview Avenue
business corridor and existing residential areas that make up the Parkview Neighborhood. The
Project should enhance the quality of life for the tenants of the Project and the neighborhood in
general.
A minimum of 12 residential units must be provided. The Project may consist of permanent,
permanent supportive and transitional units. The twelve units will be income-qualifying and
operators of the units will use housing first principles. Additional units may be incorporated in

that for a period of at least twenty(20) years the affordable housing units must remain affordable
to income-qualifying tenants earning less than eighty percent (80%) of inedian income for our
area.

Section 100: Introduction
The REAP 2.0 Program is funded in the amount of$600 million from the State General
Fund. The Regional Early Action Planning Grants of 2021 will be administered by the
California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) (Department), in
collaboration with the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR), the Strategic
Growth Council (SGC), and the California Air Resources Board (CARB). (Referred
hereafter collectively as "State Collaborative Partners".)
A majority of the funds (85 percent) will be allocated directly to the state's Metropolitan
Planning Organizations (MPOs). The remaining funds are split into a set aside for non-
MPO regions for smaller counties and Tribal Entities, as well as a Higher Impact
Transformative Allocation for all Eligible Entities.
Section 101: REAP 2.0 Program Background
California is committed to a future where we all have the option to live closer to our jobs,
services, and daily destinations. We can achieve this future through more Housing
options and affordability in nearby neighborhoods, which includes transportation options
so we can walk our kids to school, ride our bikes to work, or take transit. REAP 2.0 is a
key part of the state's strategic investments toward this more sustainable, resilient, and
inclusive future for people in all areas of the state.
REAP 2.0 builds on the success of 2019's REAP program but expands the focus by
integrating Housing and climate goals, and allowing for broader planning and
implementation investments, including infrastructure investments that support future
Housing development. REAP 2.0 is explicitly intended to meet multiple objectives — Infill
development, Housing for all incomes, Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) reduction, and
Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) in ways that lead to transformative Policy
Outcomes and accelerate the implementation of regional and local plans to achieve
these goals.
REAP 2.0 provides funds to regional governments to accelerate Housing
production and facilitate compliance with the 6t'' cycle of the Housing Element,
including Regional Housing Needs Assessment. In addition, REAP 2.0 is
specifically designed to provide MPOs and other Eligible Entities with tools and
resources to help implement and advance plans, primarily by furthering the
Sustainable Communities Strategies (SCS) adopted as part of Regional
Transportation Plans to pursue greenhouse gas emission reduction targets
through land use and transportation strategies.
Section 102: Scope and Authority
These Guidelines are authorized pursuant to Chapter 3.15 of Health and Safety Code
sections 50515.06 to 50515.10 and implements, interprets, and makes statute specific
for purposes of implementing REAP 2.0. These Guidelines establish terms, conditions,
forms, procedures, and other mechanisms as the Department deems necessary to
exercise the powers and perform the duties conferred by Chapter 3.15.
4
The matters set forth herein are regulatory mandates, and are adopted in
accordance with the authorities set forth below:
Quasi-legislative regulations ... have the dignity of statutes ... [and]... delegation
of legislative authority includes the power to elaborate the meaning of key
statutory terms...
Ramirez v. Yosemite Water Co., 20 Cal. 4th 785, 800 (1999).
Further, the Department and State Collaborative Partners may implement REAP
2.0 through the issuance of forms, guidelines, and one or more NOFAs, as the
Department deems necessary, to exercise the powers and perform the duties
conferred on it by this Chapter 3.15 of Health and Safety Code. Any forms,
guidelines, and NOFAs adopted pursuant to this section 50515.10 are
specifically exempted from the rulemaking provisions of the Administrative
Procedure Act (Chapter 3.5 (commencing with section 11340) of Part 1 of
Division 3 of Title 2 of the Gov. Code). (Health and Safety Code section
50515.10, (h).)
The Department reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to suspend or amend
the provisions of these Guidelines in collaboration with the State Collaborative
Partners, including, but not limited to, grant award amounts.

Uses that combine eligible uses with non-REAP 2.0 efforts must demonstrate a
reasonable relationship to each other, including timing and completion.
8
6. Where instructed, applicants must provide clear evidence that demonstrates a
nexus between each Proposed Use and REAP 2.0 objectives, utilizing numeric
metrics, targets, outputs, or other units of ineasurement that can be measured
and evaluated as described by these Guidelines (See Attachment 4: Examples
of Units of Measurement). Applicants may propose other units of ineasurement
in consultation with the Department and State Collaborative Partners; such
other measurements may be subject to a greater level of scrutiny.
(B)Equitable Targeted Outreach
1. Eligible Entities must conduct community and stakeholder outreach as part of
the development of their application for funds.
2. Eligible Entities must use outreach to develop priorities, Proposed Uses,

stakeholder meetings, public and quasi-public meetings, community benefit
agreements, and committees with representatives of pertinent special interests
and neighborhoods.
6. Eligible Entities must make drafts of proposed approaches available to the
public with sufficient time (e.g., at least 21 days) to comment.
7. Eligible Entities must conduct outreach throughout the program development
and implementation process. This includes outreach in advance of developing
Proposed Uses and approaches, in the early stages of program development,
throughout program development, and during program implementation.
8. Eligible Entities must employ outreach that is unique to the REAP 2.0 Program.
Eligible Entities may utilize closely related outreach efforts but must not solely
rely on those efforts.
9. Outreach methods must consider language access and other potential barriers
to providing input.
10.Outreach may include coordination with Eligible Entities (including Tribal
Entities) within the same region or in other regions. Eligible Entities may wish
to consider the potential for joint activities and the coordination of Housing and
transportation planning across regions.
9
11.Outreach must include effective and meaningful methods to gather and
consider input and partnership with Tribal Entities. Methods must demonstrate
a diligent effort to consult with Tribal Entities. Examples include
