By December 37,2022, Permit Sonoma and the nine Cities should meet to discuss the coordination of fee reduction standards for Affordable Housing throughout the county. (F11, FLz,FL4l This recommendation is being implemented to the extent possible. The nine Cities met on July 21,2022, and this topic of coordinating fee reduction standards amongst all Sonoma County jurisdictions will continue to the extent possible within the timeframe provided. The City of Cloverdale has an ongoing practice of meeting with our Sonoma County partners to discuss issues of regional importance and to keep apprised of the challenges and policy initiatives that all jurisdictions are facing. This communication and collaboration happens on a variety of levels and on a regular schedule, including monthly City Manager meetings, monthly Planning Advisory Committee meetings, quarterly City Attorney meetings, and similar across a variety of departments. The Sonoma County jurisdictions have established a housing ad hoc that meets regularly to discuss specific housing issues and share approaches among jurisdictions, and for all meeting going forward through the timeframe provided above will appropriately not continue to be an ad hoc group meeting. The City remains committed to the collaboration and partnership with our regional partners as it assists in creating efficiencies and learning from the relevant experiences of other Sonoma County jurisdictions. The City will participate in any additional meeting(s) with Permit Sonoma and the nine Sonoma county cities to discuss the findings and recommendations ofthe Grand Jury Report. However, the Ievel or appropriateness of coordinating fee reduction standards for affordable housing remains unknown given the localized needs of each jurisdiction, parameters of each jurisdictions existing impact fee programs as well as the differences in land costs between jurisdictions. As part of the City of Cloverdale's current Housing Element update the City will be including a program in the draft Housing Element to reevaluate the City's development impact fee schedule to look for ways to incentivize housing and particularly affordable housing. Following adoption ofthe Housing Element and updated General Plan the City will consider initiation of a fee study to identify efficiencies as applicable.

By December 3L,2022, Permit Sonoma and the nine Cities should identify properties within their jurisdictions and Spheres of lnfluence that are likely opportunities for rehabilitation or repurposing to increase the availability of Affordable Housing. lFL6, Flg, F22l This recommendation has been partially implemented as the city is nearing completion on a rehabilitation/redevelopment project at a City owned low-income housing property commonly referred to as the Cherry Creek property. Prior to redeveloping the property, 10 units existed, many of which were in need of being completely replaced. The project is nearing completion and includes a total of 24 low-income units, 2 of which were existing units that were able to be saved and renovated. The 24 units at the Cherry Creek property provide supportive housing for chronically homeless members of the community or who may be at risk of homelessness. Although this is one example of how this recommendation has already been implemented in Cloverdale, the City will strive to identify additional properties within the Sphere of tnfluence prior to the timeframe provided above. Furthermore, the City is in process of updating the Housing Element, during that process, opportunity sites for housing are identified. The city does not have an active program or dedicated funding source currently, but as state and federal funding for this type of program becomes available, the city works with community partners to secure funding and pursue opportunities. An example is the current the tax credit financing programs for affordable housing. The City worked with three separate developers of affordable housing to secure tax credit financing for the construction of over 200 affordable units.

By December 3L,2022, Permit Sonoma and the nine Cities should discuss integration of preliminary design review committees with their Planning commissions to help expedite the construction of Affordable Housing. (FL, F2, F3, F4, F5, F7, F1.O, Fl1, F13, FLg, FzO, F2L, F22l -^C_ITY OF CLOVEKDALE This recommendation has been implemented as the nine Cities held a meeting on )uly 21,2027, and discussed existing procedures in place in each jurisdiction and how each jurisdiction who has not already done so could integrate these and similar committees/commissions where they exist. The City of Cloverdale does not have a separate design review decision making body aside from the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission is authorized to approve major design review applications, where applicable. Furthermore, preliminary design review is not required and is a process that is an option available at the applicant's request.

By December 31,2022, Permit Sonoma and the nine cities should review their permitting requirements to allow nontraditional options such as manufactured homes, factory built homes, and tlny houses to increase housing supply. lFL, F2, F3, F4, F5, FLD, FLL, F13, FzL, F22l This recommendation has been implemented to the fullest extent possible. While the City's current regulations allow manufactured homes and factory built homes, most units that are commonly referred to as "tiny homes" likely need some slight modifications to the structures so that they comply with all current CA Building Code and Fire Code regulations and standards.
