File Number: 17-535 <br />The proposed Ordinance complies with the following under the current Housing Element <br />component of the 2035 General Plan: <br />·Policy 56.07 Landlord-Tenant Relations: Provide assistance to landlords and tenants in <br />resolving conflicts…Maintain measures that discourage the displacement of San Leandro <br />renters as a result of sudden or steep increases. <br />Environmental Review <br />Approval of the amendments is exempt from further environmental review under the general rule in <br />California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) that CEQA only <br />applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. As a <br />series of Municipal Code text amendments and additions, it can be seen with certainty that there <br />is no possibility that the ordinance will have a significant effect on the environment. <br />Summary of Public Outreach Efforts <br />As noted above, the City held numerous City Council Rules Committee meetings and City <br />Council meetings (as described above) to gather public input on the proposed Tenant Relocation <br />Assistance Program. Notification methods for these public meetings, and tonight’s public <br />meeting, included: notices emailed or mailed to over 300 renters (including past and current Rent <br />Review Board applicants), landlords and other interested stakeholders on the City’s distribution <br />list; posting on the local online neighborhood forum, Nextdoor; and posting on the City website <br />and at City Hall of the meeting agendas/staff reports/draft Ordinance versions. Since Spring <br />2016, when discussion of proposed tenant relocation measures began in earnest, staff has taken <br />public input by phone, email, and direct meetings with the public. <br />Legal Analysis <br />The proposed Ordinance was prepared and analyzed by the City Attorney’s Office and approved <br />as to form. <br />Fiscal Impacts <br />The projected annual cost to administer the proposed Ordinance is $50,000, which could impact <br />the General Fund should revenue sources to offset these costs not be identified. <br />Attachment to Staff Report <br />·Exhibit A: Proposed Tenant Relocation Assistance Ordinance (with redline changes) <br />Attachment to Ordinance <br />·Exhibit A: Proposed Tenant Relocation Assistance Ordinance (clean version) <br />PREPARED BY: Tom Liao, Deputy Community Development Director <br />Page 6 City of San Leandro Printed on 9/12/2017
