7.A. - Page 25 of 38 Other changes, defined as substantial amendment, will require public notification and public review. The criteria defining a Substantial Amendment will include: Activities, which will require new goals/objectives for the current fiscal year; and A change in the use of CDBG or HOME funds from one activity to another activity in excess of 25% of the total CDBG or HOME grant allocations for the program year. Substantial amendments to the Consolidated Plan and/or Action Plan will require a public notice with a 30 -day review and comment period. This notice will be published in a local newspaper of general circulation and/or on the City's website. During the notice period the draft substantial amendment/s will be available for public review on the City's website, and/or in print version at the Housing Division at City Hall, 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City. Interested persons will have 30 days to provide written comments on the proposed amendment/s. Interested parties may also provide oral comments at the public hearing held by the HHCC or City Council meeting at the conclusion of the 30 -day period. A summary of all comments received during the 30 -day period will be included in the substantial amendment to the Consolidated Plan/Action Plan that is submitted to HUD. All other changes to the Consolidated Plan documents that do not meet the criteria for a Substantial Amendment defined above will be reviewed and approved by City staff and will not be subject to public comments. These changes will be fully documented and the City may submit a copy of each non -substantial amendment to HUD as it occurs, or at the end of the program year. REVISIONS TO THE ASSESSMENT OF FAIR HOUSING The City may revise the AFH when a change in circumstances in the City occurs that affects the information on which the AFH is based to the extent that the analysis, the fair housing contributing factors, or the priorities and goals of the AFH no longer reflect actual circumstances. Examples include presidentially declared disasters; significant demographic changes; new significant contributing factors in the City; and civil rights findings, determinations, settlements (including Voluntary Compliance Agreements), or court orders; or upon HUD's written notification specifying a material change that requires the revision. A revision of the AFH consists of preparing and submitting amended analyses, assessments, priorities, and goals that take into account the material change, including any new fair housing issues and contributing factors that may arise as a result of the material change. A revision may not necessarily require the submission of an entirely new AFH. The revision need only focus on the material change and appropriate adjustments to the analyses, assessments, priorities, or goals. Revisions to the AFH will require a public notice with a 30 -day review and comment period. This notice will be published in a local newspaper of general circulation and/or on the City's website. During the notice period the draft AFH will be available for public review on the City's website, and/or in print version at the Housing Division at City Hall, 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City. Interested persons will have 30 days to provide written comments on the proposed revisions and/or provide oral comments at the public hearing held by the HHCC or City Council that is conducted at the conclusion of the 30 -day review period. 10 53
