of the City of Petaluma, California
RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PETALUMA AUTHORIZING APPLICATION
FOR, AND RECEIPT OF, STATE OF CALIFORNIA HOUSING AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT PROHOUSING INCENTIVE PROGRAM (PIP) FUNDS
WHEREAS, pursuant to Health and Safety Code 50470 et. Seq, the Department of Housing and Community
Development (Department) is authorized to issue Guidelines as part of an incentive program (hereinafter referred
to by the Department as the Prohousing Incentive Pilot Program or “PIP”); and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Petaluma desires to submit a PIP grant application package
(“Application”), on the forms provided by the Department, for approval of grant funding for eligible activities
toward planning and implementation activities related to housing and community development as a result of
meeting eligibility criteria including but not limited to Prohousing Designation; and
WHEREAS, the Department has issued Guidelines and Application on January 23, 2024, in the amount of $
9,483,402.17 for PIP; and
WHEREAS, the proposed action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, in that applying for grant funds does not meet
CEQA's definition of a “project,” because the action does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct
physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and
because the action constitutes an administrative and fiscal activity of the governments which does not involve
any commitment to any specific project which that may result in direct or indirect physical changes in the
environment, and furthermore any use of the grant funds will result in its own CEQA analysis.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Petaluma as follows:
1. The City Manager is hereby authorized and directed to submit an Application to the Department in response
to the NOFA, and to apply for the PIP grant funds in a total amount not to exceed the maximum possible grant
amount for Petaluma of $850,000, to be allocated for services assisting persons experiencing homelessness
per the eligible uses described in the NOFA.
2. In connection with the PIP grant, if the Application is approved by the Department, the City Manager of the
City of Petaluma is authorized and directed to enter into, execute, and deliver on behalf of the Applicant, a
State of California Agreement (Standard Agreement) for the amount of no more than $850,000, and any and
all other documents required or deemed necessary or appropriate to evidence and secure the PIP grant, the
Applicant’s obligations related thereto, and all amendments thereto.
3. The Applicant shall be subject to the terms and conditions as specified in the Guidelines, and the Standard
Agreement provided by the Department after approval. The Application and any and all accompanying
documents are incorporated in full as part of the Standard Agreement. Any and all activities funded,
information provided, and timelines represented in the Application will be enforceable through the fully
executed Standard Agreement. Pursuant to the Guidelines and in conjunction with the terms of the Standard
Agreement, the Applicant hereby agrees to use the funds for eligible uses and allowable expenditures in the
manner presented and specifically identified in the approved Application.
