8. ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A COMPREHENSIVE FEE SCHEDULE The City recently completed a Comprehensive User Fee Study to determine the current cost of providing services and to ensure that user fees and charges do not exceed the costs of providing services. Industry best practices recommend that a comprehensive review of cost of services and fees be performed every three to five years. The City's user fees and charges have not been updated since 2008, and as a result, costs have increased over time while user fees and charges have remained unchanged. On May 24, 2021, a study session was held with the City Council to review the User Fee Study and to provide an opportunity for public input on the recommended fees. At this time, it is recommended that the City Council proceed with a public hearing to consider adoption of the recommend fees, which are proposed to take effect on October 1, 2021.

9. ZONE CHANGE (ZC) 2020-0001 This project includes a proposed zone change for the property located at 1382 Bell Avenue, from Planned Community Industrial (PC-IND) to Planned Community Industrial (PC-IND/BUS) District, and a request to apply Tustin City Code (TCC) parking standards for offices exceeding 25,000 square feet. This zone change would allow professional and general offices and all other permitted land uses in the PCIND District. The modification to parking requirements would provide greater flexibility for prospective office tenants within this planned community district by updating the district's parking requirements to match current TCC parking standards. No construction is proposed in conjunction with this project. On June 8, 2021, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution Nos. 4429 and 4430, recommending that the City Council approve the proposed requests.

10. AMENDMENT TO THE 2016-17, 2018-19 AND 2020-21 ACTION PLANS FOR THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM The Federal Housing and Community Act of 1974, as amended, created the CDBG program to return federal funds to local communities for the purpose of developing viable urban communities by providing adequate housing and a suitable living environment and by expanding economic opportunities, specifically for low-and moderate-income persons. Grants are awarded to communities to carry out a wide range of community development activities directed toward neighborhood revitalization, economic development, and the provision of improved community facilities and services. Federal Law related to CDBG programs indicates that HUD will consider an entitlement recipient (City) to be failing to carry out its CDBG activities in a timely manner if, sixty (60) days prior to the end of the current program year, the amount of entitlement grant funds available is more than 1.5 times the entitlement grant amount for the current program year. In order to meet the timeliness threshold required by HUD, the City would need to spend its allocation expeditiously. As such, the Community Development Department is proposing to amend the 2016-17, 2018-19 and 2020-21 Action Plans by reallocating funds from old activities to the Pine Tree Park Improvements project, which is anticipated to progress during the current 202122 Program Year.
