EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires all entitlement communities receiving Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, such as the City of Temecula, to prepare and submit a Consolidated Plan every five years to establish a unified, strategic vision for community development, housing and economic development actions. The Consolidated Plan encompasses the analysis of local community needs and coordinates appropriate responses to those needs and priorities. The Temecula City Council adopted its first Five Year Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years 2012-16 and the Action Plan for 2012-13 on April 26, 2012. The 2015-16 Action Plan was adopted on April 14, 2015. The 2016-17 Action Plan was adopted on April 26, 2016. The City adopted its current Five Year Consolidated Plan for 2017-21 and 2017-18 Action Plan on April 25, 2017. The Consolidated Plan is carried out through Annual Action Plans, which provide a concise summary of the actions, activities, and the specific federal and non-federal resources that will be used each year to address the priority needs and specific goals identified by the Consolidated Plan. Per the City's Citizen Participation Plan, a Substantial Amendment to an Annual Action Plan is required when a "substantial" change is proposed, which includes: • A CDBG activity budget will increase by$50,000 or 25%of the project's original budget,whichever T greater. • There is a significant change in the purpose, scope, location, or beneficiaries of an activity. • The City proposes to add or delete an activity, except in the following cases: • The activity is on the back up list approved by the City Council in the Annual Action Plan. • The activity is being deleted due to delays and would be included in the following year's Annual Action Plan. • There are nonperformance or eligibility issues requiring activity termination. • Project deletion or funding reductions are due to facility closure or bankruptcy. • The agency becomes disqualified or ineligible to receive funding or is unable to produce sufficient eligible billings in accordance with the provisions of the agreement. • An applicant requests that their activity be terminated. The substantial amendments to the 2012-13, 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18 Action Plans are necessary because the City is proposing to delete and amend activities, as described in Section C. B. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION A Notice of Public Hearing and the commencement of the 30-day public review period was published in the newspaper on October 15, 2017, informing the public of the proposed substantial amendments and inviting comments at the public hearing. The public review period begins on October 15, 2017 and ends November 14, 2017. Citizens were able to review copies of the Draft Substantial Amendments at the City of Temecula Public Library,City Hall and on the City's website at temeculaca.gov/CDBG.On November 14, 2017, the City Council will hear public comments regarding the Substantial Amendments.
