SUBJECT: 4.2(b) --Resolution Authorizing the Acceptance of Completion of the Alturas
Crossing I Apartments Project
Recommendation
Authorize the following actions relative to the Community Development Block Grant -Disaster
Recovery Multi -Family Housing Program guidelines:
(1) Adopt Resolution authorizing the Acceptance of Completion of the Alturas Crossing I
Apartments pursuant to City of Redding requirements and the Community Development
Block Grant -Disaster Recovery Multi -Family Housing Program guidelines;
(2) Find that adopting a completion resolution is not considered a project under the
California Environmental Quality Act; and
(3) Find that adopting a completion resolution is exempt under the National Environmental
Policy Act under Title 24 CFR 58.34(a)(3).
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact related to adopting the resolution.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to adopt the resolution acknowledging that the
project is complete. Under this alternative, the City of Redding (City) would not be following the
Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery Multi -Family Housing Program
(CDBG-DR MHP) grant requirements and the ramifications of not providing the requested
resolution are unknown.
Background/Analysis
As a result of the wildfires that affected California in 2018, a Presidentially -Declared Disaster
was assigned to five counties, including Shasta County for the CARR Fire. In recognition of the
unmet recovery needs, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development allocated
Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Program funds to the
Report to Redding City Council March 8, 2024
Re: 4.2(b) --Resolution -Completion ofAlturas Crossing 1 Apartments Page 2
California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). HCD is the agency
responsible for administering the CDBG-DR funds and approving any resulting multi -family
projects.
HCD undertook an extensive needs assessment to determine the specific priorities of the affected
counties with significant community outreach and analysis that resulted in four CDBG-DR.
Program categories: housing, infrastructure, economic revitalization, and planning. The majority
of funds are allocated to the unmet rental housing needs in affected counties. To meet the unmet
rental housing needs, HCD created the CDBG-DR MHP. The City was allocated $16,660,145 in
CDBG-DR MHP funds to support the development of income -eligible multifamily projects.
The Alturas Crossing I Apartment project consists of 39 income -eligible apartment units, with
one manager's unit, and is located at 1206 Old Alturas Road. On December 22, 2022, the
Council approved a $3,494,416 loan of CDBG-DR MHP funds to assist Alturas Crossing I
Apartments, to develop and construct the project. The project received a certificate of occupancy
from the City's Building Division on November 30, 2023, and is soon to be fully occupied.
CDBG-DR MHP regulations require that once the funded project is completed, the local
jurisdiction must adopt a resolution that acknowledges it is satisfactorily completed.
Environmental Review
Adopting a completion resolution is not considered a project under the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA). The actual construction of the project was previously reviewed for CEQA
compliance.
Under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), administrative and management
activities such as adopting a resolution are considered exempt activities and no further action is
required. The actual construction project was reviewed for NEPA requirements before the
project started.
Council Priority/City Manager Goals
This agenda item is a routine operational item.
