and above moderate income RHNA allocation. A breakdown of each strategy and unit potential is provided in Appendix B.

Analysis of the City’s Existing Capacity and Zoning
The Housing Element must demonstrate the City’s ability to accommodate the RHNA either through the production or the availability of properly zoned land that can accommodate additional growth. The City of Calimesa is able to accommodate all of its moderate and above moderate RHNA through existing residentially zoned lots and entitled specific plans and development agreements. In total, 4,412 moderate and 5,406 above moderate-income units can be accommodated on existing residentially zoned sites, specific plans, pipeline projects and development agreements. Approximately 73 percent of all identified sites are currently vacant and therefore not considered a constraint to housing development.

Reasonable Capacity Assumptions
Reasonable capacity for sites identified to meet the City’s moderate and above moderate need was calculated based on a number of f actors, including existing zoning requirements, vacancy, and the assumed density based on the City’s development history. Unit capacity for parcels zoned RR, RLM, RL, and RH was assessed through an assumption of 100 percent lot development at one income category based on the parcel’s zoning and 80 percent of the maximum zoning permitted. The parcels that can accommodate at least 20 units include 5 percent affordable to low and very low-income units, per City Ordinance. The following provides the densities used to calculate unit capacity per zoning district:
• RR – 2 du/ac permitted, and 1.6 du/ac used in sites analysis calculations • RLM – 7 du/ac permitted, and 5.6 du/ac used in sites analysis calculations • RL – 4 du/ac permitted, and 3.2 du/ac used in sites analysis calculations • RH – 20 du/ac permitted, and 16 du/ac used in sites analysis calculations Sites zoned DVC are permitted up to 30 dwelling units per acre and potential units are therefore counted towards the lower income RHNA.A conservative estimate of 30 percent site development towards residential uses is included in the analysis. In total, 141 net units can be accommodated on these sites for low and very low-income households.

Sites Suitable for Lower Income Housing
For the 2021-2029 planning period, the City’s RHNA allocation is 495 for very low-income sites and 275 for low-income sites. Utilizing the City’s existing residentially zoned land, projects in the pipeline, specific plan and development agreement capacity, and a new proposed overlay zone, the City can fully accommodate the lower income RHNA allocation. A breakdown of each strategy and its total unit potential is provided in Appendix B.

A total of 141 lower income units can be accommodated through projects in existing residentially zoned candidate housing sites. In addition, 368 lower income units can be accommodated through remaining capacity in existing specific plans and a development agreement. To address the remaining very low and low income RHNA, the City will adopt a Residential Infill Priority Area Overlay Zone. This proposed overlay zone will accommodate 264 units affordable to very low- and low-income households.

Accessory Dwelling Unit Production
One of the proposed methods for meeting the City’s RHNA is through the promotion and development of accessory dwelling units (ADUs). A number of State Assembly and Senate Bills were passed in 2019 that

Section 3: Housing Constraints, Resources, and AFFH Page 3-148 Calimesa Housing Element Update
promote and remove barriers that may inhibit the development of ADUs within communities. The following is a summary of those bills:
• AB 68 and 881
o Prohibit minimum lot size requirements
o Cap setback requirements at 4’, increasing the size and location opportunities for ADUs o Prohibit the application of lot coverage, FAR, or open space requirements that would prevent an 800 square foot ADU from being developed on a lot o Remove the need for replacement parking when converting an existing garage to an ADU o Limit local discretion in establishing min and max unit size requirements o Mandate a 60-day review period for ADU applications through a non-discretionary process • SB 13
o Prohibit owner-occupancy requirements for 5 years
o Reduce impact fees applicable to ADUs
o Provide a program for homeowners to delay compliance with certain building code requirements that do not relate to health and safety
• AB 670
o Prohibits Homeowner’s Associations (HOAs) from barring ADUs These bills, as well as other significant legislation relating to ADUs creates a development environment that is likely to increase the number of ADUs developed within Calimesa over the 2021-2029 planning period.

HCD has supported a strategy for estimating future development of ADUs in the City, therefore by applying double the average ADU development from 2018-2021 to each year, the City of Calimesa assumes a total of 32 ADUs to be developed from 2021-2029. Utilizing the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) approved ADU affordability assumptions, 17 ADUs will be allocated to the low and very low income RHNA, 10 will be allocated to the City’s moderate income RHNA and 5 will be allocated to the above moderate. A detailed outline of the Affordability Analysis, as approved by HCD, is available in Appendix B of the Housing Element.

Regional Housing Needs Allocation
Future housing need refers to the share of the regional housing need that has been allocated to the City.

The State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) supplies a regional housing goal number to the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). SCAG is then mandated to allocate the housing goal to city and county jurisdictions in the region through a RHNA Plan. In allocating the region’s future housing needs to jurisdictions, SCAG is required to take the following factors into consideration pursuant to Section 65584 of the State Government Code:
• Market demand for housing;
• Employment opportunities;
• Availability of suitable sites and public
facilities;
• Commuting patterns;
• Type and tenure of housing;
• Loss of units in assisted housing
developments;
• Over-concentration of lower income
households; and
• Geological and topographical
constraints.

HCD, through a determination process, allocates units to each region across California. It is then up to each region to determine a methodology and process for allocating units to each jurisdiction within that region. SCAG adopted its final Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA Plan) in March 2021. This RHNA covers an 8-year planning period (starting in 2021) and addresses housing issues that are related

Section 3: Housing Constraints, Resources, and AFFH Page 3-149 Calimesa Housing Element Update
to future growth in the region. The RHNA allocates to each city and county a “fair share” of the region’s projected housing needs by household income group. The major goal of the RHNA is to assure a fair distribution of housing among cities and counties within the Southern California region, so that every community provides an opportunity for a mix of housing for all economic segments.

Calimesa’s share of the SCAG regional growth allocation is 2,017 new units for the current planning period (2021-2029). Table 3-45 indicates the City’s RHNA needs for the stated planning period.

Table 3-45: City of Calimesa’s RHNA Allocation for 2021-2029 Income Category (% of County AMI) Number of
Units Percent
Extremely Low (30% or less) 247 12.3%
Very Low (31 to 50%)1 248 12.3%
Low (51 to 80%) 275 13.6%
Moderate (81% to 120%) 379 18.8%
Above Moderate (Over 120%) 868 43%
TOTAL 2,017 100%
Note 1: Pursuant to AB 2634, local jurisdictions are also required to project the housing needs of extremely low-income households (0-30% AMI). In estimating the number of extremely low-income households, a jurisdiction can use 50% of the very low-income allocation or apportion the very low-income figure based on Census data.

E.Financial Resources
Providing an adequate supply of decent and affordable housing requires funding from various sources, the City has access to the following funding sources.

1. Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers
The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program is a Federal Government program to assist very lowincome families, the elderly, and the disabled with rent subsidy payments in privately owned rental housing units. Section 8 participants are able to choose any housing that meets the requirements of the program and are not limited to units located within subsidized housing` projects. They typically pay 30 to 40 percent of their income for rent and utilities. The Housing Authority of the County of Riverside administers the Section 8 Housing Choice vouchers within the City of Calimesa.

Community Development Block Grants (CDBG)
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program provides annual grants on a formula basis to cities to develop viable urban communities by providing a suitable living environment and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons (up to 80 percent AMI).

CDBG funds can be used for a wide array of activities, including:
• Housing rehabilitation;
• Lead-based paint screening and abatement;
• Acquisition of buildings and land;
• Construction or rehabilitation of public facilities and infrastructure, and:
• Public services for low-income households and those with special needs.

Section 3: Housing Constraints, Resources, and AFFH Page 3-150 Calimesa Housing Element Update
The City received $34,141 in CDBG funds allocated by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors for the 2021-2022 program year. The CDBG funds were granted for ADA improvements to the Norton Younglove Senior Center.

HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME)
The HOME program provides federal funds for the development and rehabilitation of affordable rental and ownership housing for households with incomes not exceeding 80 percent of area median income. The program gives local governments the flexibility to fund a wide range of affordable housing activities through housing partnerships with private industry and non-profit organizations. HOME funds can be used for activities that promote affordable rental housing and homeownership by low-income households. The City of Calimesa reports that they expect to receive $3,500 in State HOME funds for the fiscal year 2021-2022 for the purpose of rehabilitation owner occupied homes.

Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) Grants
SB2 Grant and LEAP Grant Funding
The City of Calimesa applied for and received a total of $65,000 in LEAP Grant funding and $160,000 in SB 2 funding from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The SB 2 program includes improvements to expedite local planning processes and LEAP Grants are awarded to provide funding opportunities for jurisdictions to update their planning documents and implement process improvements that will facilitate or accelerate housing productions to meet the 6th Cycle Regional Housing Needs Assessment. The grant funding received by the City is being allocated to fund the preparation of the City’s proposed Residential Infill Priority Area Overlay Zone. Preparing a Residential Infill Priority Area Overlay Zone will facilitate the City’s compliance with State mandates as well as make the development of housing within the City more efficient.

7. Energy Conservation
The primary uses of energy in urban areas are for transportation lighting, water heating, and space heating and cooling. The high cost of energy demands that efforts be taken to reduce or minimize the overall level of urban energy consumption. Energy conservation is important in preserving non-renewable fuels to ensure that these resources are available for use by future generations. There are also a number of benefits associated with energy conservation including improved air quality and lower energy cost.

Title 24
The City abides to Title 24 standards as mandated by the State. Title 24 establishes energy efficiency standards for residential and nonresidential buildings (new structures and addition) to reduce energy consumption. The standards are updated every three years to achieve greater efficiency and reach for new goals.

Energy Use and Providers
Southern California Gas Company (SCGC) provides natural gas service for the City. Natural gas is a “fossil fuel” and is a non-renewable resource. Most of the major natural gas transmission pipelines within the City are owned and operated by SCGC. SCGC has the capacity and resources to deliver gas except in certain situations that are noted in state law. As development occurs, SCGC will continue to extend its service to accommodate development and supply the necessary gas lines. Electricity is provided on an as -needed basis to customers within existing structures in the City. Southern California Edison (SCE) is the distributing provider for electricity in Calimesa. Every year SCE expands and improves existing facilities according to demand.

Section 3: Housing Constraints, Resources, and AFFH Page 3-151 Calimesa Housing Element Update
Utility companies serving Calimesa offer programs to promote efficient energy use and assist lower-income customers. Calimesa customers can receive utility payment assistance on their electric and natural gas bill through the California Alternative Rates for Energy (CARE) and Family Electric Rate Assistance (FERA) programs.

Section 4: Housing Plan
The Housing Plan describes the City of Calimesa’s 2021-2029 policy program. The Housing Plan describes the specific goals, policies, and programs to assist City decision makers to achieve the long-term housing objectives set forth in the Calimesa Housing Element. This Plan identifies goals, policies, and programs aimed at providing additional housing opportunities, removing governmental constraints to affordable housing, improving the condition of existing housing, and providing equal housing opportunities for all residents. These goals, policies, and programs further the City’s overall housing policy goal to inspire a more diverse, sustainable, and balanced community through implementation of strategies and programs that will result in economically and socially diversified housing choices that preserve and enhance the special character of Calimesa.

Regional Housing Needs Assessment
The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) has conducted a Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) to determine the City’s share of the affordable housing needs for the Riverside County region. The RHNA quantifies Calimesa local share housing needs for the region by income category.

Income categories are based on the most current Median Family Income (MFI) for Riverside County. The City’s 2021-2029 RHNA growth need is as follows:
• 495- Very low income (0-50% County MFI)
• 275 units - Low income (51-80% of County MFI)
• 379 units - Moderate income (81-120% of County MFI)
• 868 units - Above moderate income (120% or more of County MFI) 2,017 units – Total

The City will also continue enforcement of the California Green Building Standards, which become effective on January 1, 2011. Energy conservation features shall be incorporated into all housing units constructed between 2021 and 2029. Aside from energy conservation through the design and construction of new residences, the City will encourage energy conservation through the retrofit of existing homes by continuing to allow energy efficiency improvements as an eligible activity under its Housing Rehabilitation Program initiated in 2005.

On a more comprehensive scale, the City will continue to address energy conservation and sustainability through its land use planning for the community. Two measures of particular relevance are the continued adherence to the Calimesa Vision, which is the framework that guides the community’s future growth and development and is discussed under the Opportunities for Energy Conservation section of the Housing Element Background Report, and in the Downtown Village Commercial zone, which allows residential uses in a mixed-use configuration and at densities of up to 30 dwelling units per acre.

Section 4: Housing Plan Page 4-5
Calimesa Housing Element Update
Program Action H-1.2: Non-Profit Entity Participation in Affordable Housing The City will seek out and encourage nonprofit organizations to sponsor affordable housing projects in the city. This may include agencies assisting lower-income households, senior citizens, disabled persons, developmentally disabled persons, and other persons with special housing needs. The City will direct interested agencies/sponsors to potential sites and collaborate with them on applications for state and federal funding. In addition to submitting its own applications for funding to HCD, the City will also support nonprofit housing developers in applying to HCD for the Community-Based Housing Development Organization (CHDO) set aside of HOME funds, which is 20 percent of the annual statewide allocation of HOME funds. In providing such support, the City will give priority to nonprofit developers pursuing projects that include extremely low-income units.

Timeframe: Ongoing, Annual Review of Progress and Performance Responsible Agency: Community Development Department
Funding Source: General Fund
Program Action H-1.3: Accessibility to Persons with Disabilities The City will continue to require that new housing development comply with state and federal standards for access for persons with physical and developmental disabilities and enforce the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This program will lead to the provision of access for persons with disabilities, to dwelling units constructed during the planning period.

The City will continue to allow accessibility improvements for homes occupied by disabled persons as an eligible activity under its Housing Rehabilitation Program. The City will continue to offer such assistance as funds permit.

Timeframe: Ongoing, Annual Review of Progress and Performance Responsible Agency: Community Development Department, Building and Safety Department Funding Source: General Fund
Program Action H-1.4: Reasonable Accommodation
In compliance with applicable federal and state laws, the City continues to implement its reasonable accommodation ordinance. This ordinance provides persons with disabilities with a procedure to request reasonable accommodation to housing under the Federal Fair Housing Act and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act in the application of the City’s zoning requirements and other land use regulations, policies, and procedures.

To ensure reasonable accommodation procedures are consistent with state law, the City will review the conditions of approval for reasonable accommodation and revise them where appropriate to ensure compliance with fair housing laws. The City will also review the conditions of approval to remove subjective decision-making criteria.

Timeframe: Code amendment by August 2024.

Responsible Agency: Community Development Department
Funding Source: General Fund

Section 4: Housing Plan Page 4-6
Calimesa Housing Element Update
GOAL H-2: Promote housing access and equal
opportunity for all persons regardless of race, religion, sex, marital status, ancestry, national origin, color, or disability.
• POLICY H-2.1: Enforce fair housing laws and encourage the use of fair housing council and referral services.
• POLICY H-2.2: Coordinate efforts with other agencies to serve extremely low-income households, persons with disabilities, persons with developmental disabilities, the homeless, the elderly, singleparent households, and other residents with special housing needs. • POLICY H-2.3: Promote equal access and housing opportunities through the provision of consumer information, assistance and protection, and citizen involvement in the design and implementation of housing programs.
• POLICY H-2.4: Encourage citizen participation in the development and implementation of housing programs.

Goal H-2: Housing Program Actions
Program Action H-2.1: Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Pursuant to AB 686, Chapter 958, Statutes 2018, the City will affirmatively further fair housing by taking meaningful actions in addition to resisting discrimination, that overcomes patterns of segregation and fosters inclusive communities free from barriers that restrict access to opportunity based on protected classes, as defined by State law.

To accomplish this, the City or designated contracted organization will collaborate with local and regional organizations to review any housing discrimination complaints, assist in dispute resolution, and, where necessary, refer complainants to appropriate state or federal agencies for further investigation, action, and resolution.

Section 3.C.4 of this Housing Element identifies the following contributing factors to fair housing in the City.

Table 4-1 establishes actions the City will implement throughout the 6th Planning Period to address each contributing factor.

Disparities in Access to Opportunity/ Disproportionate Access to Services Housing Mobility, Place-based Strategies to Encourage Community Conservation and Revitalization The City of Calimesa is considered very low scoring in transit opportunity performance by AllTransit. A lack of transportation options throughout the City may restrict residents from accessing resources and opportunities not within their immediate neighborhoods. The City could improve its access to opportunity/services by focusing on investing in transit across the City to provide those impacted by poor mobility with additional resources.

Disproportionate Housing Needs
New Housing Choices and Affordability in Areas of Opportunity, Housing Mobility Section 3.C.3 of this Housing Element provides details on the housing stock within Calimesa. Table 3-25 states that the majority of housing units within the City are single-unit, detached, single family residences.

Additionally, the City has less than two percent of all types of apartment units combined. In comparison,

Section 4: Housing Plan Page 4-7
Calimesa Housing Element Update
the County of Riverside and the State of California have a more evenly distributed stock of a variety of different housing unit types available. A lack of different housing unit types may restrict residents from finding appropriate housing within the City. As a part of the Housing Element, the City’s goal is to expand housing choice for households of all incomes.

Fair Housing Enforcement and Outreach
Housing Mobility
The City of Calimesa partners with the Fair Housing Council of Riverside County (FHCRC) to assist individuals with fair housing related issues, as well as provide informational resources and education for the community. However, the City did not participate in the regional AI report and none of the City’s residents participated in the County wide fair housing survey. The City should provide additional resources, outreach, and information on fair housing.

Availability of Affordable Housing
New Housing Choices and Affordability in Areas of Opportunity, Housing Mobility The City of Calimesa does not currently have any deed restricted affordable housing units. A lack of deed restricted units may make it hard for resident to maintain and find affordable housing within the City. The City should partner with affordable housing developers to better understand the challenges to creating affordable housing in Calimesa. Additionally, the City should focus on increasing the affordable housing stock and maintaining deed restricted units.

Program Action H-2.8: Emergency, Transitional and Supportive Housing To comply with State law, the City of Calimesa will amend certain sections of its Municipal Code to address the following requirements:
• Supportive Housing Streamlined Approvals (AB 2162) - To comply with AB 2162 (Chapter 753, Statues 2018), the City of Calimesa will amend its Municipal Code to permit supportive housing as a use permitted by right in all zones where multiple family and mixed-use development is permitted. • Emergency and Transitional Housing Act of 2019 (AB 139) – The City will update its Municipal Code to comply with the requirements of Gov Code 65583 to address permit requirements,

Section 4: Housing Plan Page 4-12
Calimesa Housing Element Update
objective standards, analysis of annual and season needs, and parking and other applicable standards and provisions.
• Amend the City of Calimesa Municipal Code to comply with the definitions for “Supportive Housing,” Supportive Services,” “Target Population” consistent with applicable sections of the California Government Code.
• Amend the Calimesa Municipal Code to ensure Emergency Shelters, Transitional and Supportive Housing are permitted in appropriate zones, consistent with State law. • Chapter 654, Statues of 2022 (AB 2339), now includes new requirements on how cities must plan for emergency shelters and ensure sufficient capacity for low-income housing. AB 2339 requires that zoning designations identified to allow emergency shelters as a permitted use without a conditional use or other discretionary permit must allow other residential uses. This could include zones that allow mixed uses that permit residential.

The C-C zone allows residential uses such as SROs without a conditional use permit or other discretionary permit in compliance with AB 2339. The C-C zone is an appropriate zone to accommodate emergency shelters as they are typically located alongadjacent to major arterial roadways with access to employment and in proximity to grocery and retail stores, transportation, and other services. There are currently 72 acres of vacant land zoned C-C, including sites between .5 and 15.5 acres in size. It is estimated that there are approximately 31 sites zoned C-C which are vacant and viable for the development of an emergency shelter.

From 2019 to 2022, the Calimesa Homeless Point-in-Time Count fluctuated but thewith an average wasof approximately 13 individuals experiencing homelessness. Approximately 15 of the sites in the C-C zone are between 1 and 15.5 acres in size. These parcels are appropriate to accommodate more than one shelter of approximately 10 beds if one is proposed. The average lot size of vacant parcels in the C-C zone is 3.1 acres which is more than sufficient to accommodate an emergency shelter.
• Section 65583 (B)(v) of the Government Code allows jurisdictions to adopt proximity standards, provided that emergency shelters are not required to be more than 300 feet apart. The City’s current Zoning Code states that emergency shelters shall not be located within 300 feet of any other emergency shelter, as measured from property line to property line. The City will amend the Zoning Code to make 300 feet the maximum proximity standard.
• The City will amend the Zoning Code to ensure compliance with all provisions of AB 2339, including updated definitions, zoning and all development standards, including spacing/proximity requirements.

Program Action H-2.11: Supportive Housing and Low Barrier Navigation Centers State law has been updated to require approval 'by right' of supportive housing with up to 50 units and low barrier navigation centers that meet the requirements of State law. Low barrier navigation centers are generally defined as service-enriched shelters focused on the transition of persons into permanent housing.

Low barrier navigation centers provide temporary living facilities for persons experiencing homelessness to income, public benefits, health services, shelter, and housing. To comply with State law, The City of Calimesa will adopt policies, procedures, and regulations for processing this type of use to establish a nondiscretionary local permit approval process that must be provided to accommodate supportive housing and lower barrier navigation centers per State law.

Seniors
Section 2: Community Profile shows that 27.2 percent of Calimesa residents are over the age of 65.

Senior housing is permitted in the form of senior congregate care housing, which is permitted in Residential Medium (R-M) and Residential High (R-H) zoning districts. The City considers senior housing with more than six senior residents as senior congregate care housing, which are subject to specific zoning standards to accommodate for senior tenants. Chapter 18.20.050 of the Calimesa Municipal Code provides for detailed zoning standards, density bonuses, and other incentives for the development of Senior Housing.

The Housing Choice Voucher Program extends rental subsidies to extremely low- and very low-income households, including families, seniors, and the disabled. As of September 2021, the Housing Authority of the County of Riverside provided three households in Calimesa with financial assistance for housing. All three households were identified as elderly households. As of September 2021, there are 85 households on the waiting list, 19 of which are elderly households.

The City encourages nonprofit organizations to sponsor affordable housing projects in the City. This may include agencies assisting lower-income households, senior citizens, disabled persons, developmentally disabled persons, and other persons with special housing needs. The City will also pursue state and federal funds for the construction of senior citizen housing, with priority given to projects that include units affordable to extremely low-income households. This may include funds such as those provided under Section 202 and HOME.

In addition, a variety of community resources exist for Calimesa Seniors. The City website lists various resource links and contacts for seniors in Calimesa. The Norton Younglove Senior Center offers a Senior Lunch Program on Wednesdays from 10 A.M. to noon. The Senior Lunch Program serves as a Senior Nutrition drive-through program. The You Are Not Alone (Y.A.N.A) Program provides a free daily “check - in” service for senior residents that may have limited family or community contacts.

Persons with Physical and Developmental Disabilities
Persons with disabilities may require varying accessibility improvements and may also have a limited ability to earn adequate income. According to 2019 ACS data, 17 percent of Calimesa population has a disability.

The most common disability in Calimesa is ambulatory difficulties.

Housing opportunities for persons with disabilities can be addressed through the provision of affordable, barrier-free housing. There are several housing types appropriate for people living with a developmental disability: rent subsidized homes, licensed and unlicensed single-family homes, inclusionary housing, Section 8 vouchers, special programs for home purchase, HUD housing, and SB 962 (veterans) homes.

Rehabilitation assistance can be targeted toward renters and homeowners with disabilities for unit modification to improve accessibility.

Using HOME funds, the City offers financial assistance in the form of hous ing rehabilitation loans for the repair of homes owned and occupied by low-income households. As of July 2022, data regarding the number of housing rehabilitation loans distributed in Calimesa is unavailable. However, the City of Calimesa reports that they expect to receive $3,500 in State HOME funds for the fiscal year 2021-2022 for the purpose of rehabilitation owner occupied homes. The City also partners with County-wide groups, including the County of Riverside’s Network of Care, and Department of Public Social Services. Inland SoCal United Way, also known as 211 Riverside County, lists rental and mortgage assistance, home barrier removal grants, and low-income rental housing listings.

In addition, the City will explore the granting of regulatory incentives, such as expedited permit processing, and fee waivers and deferrals, to projects targeted for persons with developmental disabilities. As housing is developed or identified, the City will collaborate with the Inland Regional Center (IRC) to implement an

outreach program informing families within the City of housing and services available for persons with developmental disabilities.

Large Households
Large households consist of five or more residents and may have a harder time finding adequately sized units to avoid overcrowding. Table 2-19 in Section 2 shows that 19 percent of total Calimesa households have five or more members. Of the 19 percent, 64.6 percent of overcrowded households in Calimesa have five or more members, 26.2 percent have six or more members, and 9.2 percent have seven-or-more person households.

Large, lower-income households may qualify for Housing Choice Vouchers or the Conventional Public Housing Program, which provides rental assistance to low- and moderate-income households. The Housing Authority of Riverside County administers the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers within the City of Calimesa.

Farmworkers
Farmworkers include persons seasonally or permanently employed in the agricultural industry and generally earn lower incomes than many other workers. According to ACS data, there were 17 people employed in agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting, and mining sector in Calimesa in 2019. According to the California Employment Division, Calimesa residents employed in the farming, f ishing, and forestry occupation earn one of the lowest salaries in comparison to other occupations in Riverside County, with an estimated mean salary of $32,135.

Agricultural housing is currently permitted in Residential Estate (R-E), Rural Residential (R-R), and Open Space Residential (O-S-R) zones with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Given new provisions in the California Health and Safety Code Sections 17021.5 and 17021.6, Program Action H-3.14 has been included in the Housing Plan to permit agricultural housing, by-right, without a Conditional Use Permit or other discretional permit, in single-family residential zoning districts for six or fewer persons and in agricultural zoning districts for up to 12 units or 36 beds.

Single-Parent Households
Single-parent households often require special consideration and assistance due to their greater need for affordable and accessible day care, health care, and other supportive services. Single parents make up

14.5 percent of Calimesa households, with 7.9 percent being single mothers, and 6.6 percent being single fathers. Approximately 28.8 percent of single parent households are single parents living under the poverty line.

Lower-income single-parent households may also be eligible for Housing Choice Vouchers and may represent a portion of Calimesa households that received rental assistance annually . As of September 2021, the Housing Authority of the County of Riverside, three households in Calimesa are receiving housing assistance and 85 households are on the waitlist to receive financial assistance.

The City website lists a variety of community services for children and single parents in the community. The City partners with 211 Riverside County to connect single parents to parenting resources, s uch as locations of parenting classes and counseling centers. The Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District (YCJUSD) serves over 8,700 students from preschool through adult education courses. The YCJUSD includes seven elementary schools, three middle schools, and three high schools and partners with six different colleges to encourage college admission for YCJUSD students. The colleges in partnership with YCJUSD for guaranteed admission are California Baptist University, California State University of San Bernardino, University of La Verne, Grand Canyon University, Azusa Pacific University, and University of Redlands.

The YCJUSD also offers 24/7 online tutoring for middle school and high school students. The YCJUSD also lists on its website affordable resources for single parents, including affordable internet links, emergency

broadband benefit program information, Inland Empire food resources, mental health resources, and other community assistance information made available for families. The Beaumont Unified School District (BUSD) also serves students in the southern region of Calimesa. The BUSD serves over 10,000 students in grades K-12 and encompasses the southern region of Calimesa, the Unincorporated Riverside County community of Cherry Valley, and the City of Beaumont. The BUSD website also lists a number of single parent resources, including grade preparation services, dual language immersion programs, before and after school programs, and behavioral support programs.

Persons Experiencing Homelessness
Homelessness has become an increasingly important issue in the region and throughout California. There are multiple factors that may contribute to a person experiencing homelessness; Section 2: Community Profile provides a detailed definition of “homelessness” and an analysis of the City and County’s unhoused population.

The City supports the Housing Authority of Riverside County and other local agencies and organizations that assist persons experiencing homelessness and prevent homelessness. The Riverside Continuum of Care (CoC) established a Coordinated Entry System (CED) called HomeConnect, which serves as an access point for federally funded, state-funded, and locally funded homeless services in Riverside County.

Throughout the 5th Cycle, the City provided funding to CoC to develop a Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) intended to collect and report information about the homeless population and its pattern of service utilization.

Extremely Low-Income Households
Extremely low-income households are those that earn 30 percent or less of the area median income (AMI) for Riverside County. Extremely low-income households may require rental assistance and other community services assistance. According to CHAS data, there are approximately 400 extremely lowincome households in Calimesa, including both renters and homeowners.

Throughout the 5th Cycle, the City facilitated the development of affordable housing through various efforts listed in Tables A-1 and A-2.

The City offers assistance in accessing local, state, and federal funding for affordable housing, as well as technical assistance. The City offers financial assistance in the form of housing rehabilitation loans for the repair of homes owned and occupied by low-income households. The City received a $508,400 award to restart the City’s Housing Rehabilitation Program for Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation, which is funded by HCD. The City also received a $511,700 award for the City’s Housing Rehabilitation Program funded by CDBG grants. The City encourages residential rehabilitation and continues to operate an owner-occupied rehabilitation program. The City will give priority to non-profit developers pursuing projects that include extremely low-income units.

Extremely low-income households may also be eligible for financial assistance from both state and local services. As noted above, as of September 2021, the Housing Authority of the County of Riverside provided three households in Calimesa with f inancial assistance for housing. As of September 2021, there are 85 households on the waiting list, 19 of which are elderly households.

Action H-3.2.1
The City Council adopted an inclusionary zoning ordinance in May 2011 that applies to new for-sale, single-family
residential development on a citywide basis. The ordinance applies to developments containing 10 or more units and requires that 10 percent of the proposed dwelling units be affordable to very low-income households and 5 percent of the proposed dwelling units be affordable to low-income households. In 2012, the City Council suspended the
inclusionary program due to the slowed economy. The City Council will consider reinstating the inclusionary program in January 2017.

Action H-3.2.2
The City will continue to allow second units on single-family lots developed with an existing residence and subject to a minimum lot size. This creates a potential for additional units on most lots in the R-1 zone and provides opportunities for affordable housing. The City ministerially permits second units on single-family zoned lots and requires that the primary The inclusionary program has been reinstated

The City will direct developers seeking potential project sites in Calimesa to locations currently served by adequate infrastructure and assist them in making contact with the property owners, help to guide them through the development review process, and provide them with the information needed for feasibility analyses and due diligence. The City will also consider offering incentives to encourage the utilization of infill lots, such as an infill density bonus or a reduction/waiver of Streets and Traffic and Drainage Facilities Impact Fees for infill projects involving the consolidation and coordinated
development of multiple lots.

Action H-3.4.2
The City will continue to work with responsible agencies and purveyors of utilities and infrastructure (such as the Yucaipa Valley Water District, South Mesa Water Company, and
Yucaipa Calimesa School District) in monitoring the
availability and service levels of public utilities and infrastructure (roads, water, sewer, storm drainage, gas, power, etc.) and services (police, fire protection, schools, government services, etc.). The City will continue to
cumulatively assess the potential impacts from new
development and require, as part of the development review package, that all new development provide an assessment to ensure that adequate infrastructure is available to serve the development. Otherwise, improvements and upgrades will be undertaken as part of the development or through facility fees to be paid prior to the occupancy of the dwelling units. The City will prioritize the need for capital improvements and increase public service levels, when necessary. The City consulted local water and sewer purveyors during the
preparation of this element and will send the adopted element to them for their use in prioritizing service to housing units Accessory Dwelling Units in accordance with

A. Candidate Sites Analysis
The Housing Element is required to identify sites by income category to meet the City’s RHNA Allocation.

The sites identified within the Housing Element represent the City of Calimesa’s ability to accommodate housing at the designated income levels within the planning period (2021-2029). These sites are either residentially zoned, within a specific plan entitled for residential development, currently in the pipeline, or identified for rezone to accommodate the City’s remaining need. Table B-9 provides detailed information on the sites identified to meet the City’s RHNA, including:
• Assessor Parcel Number (APN)
• Address
• Size (Acres)
• Zoning
• General Plan Land Use
• Ownership
• Existing On-site Uses
• Density
• Potential Development Capacity (Dwelling Units)
A summary of this information is included within the Housing Resources section (Section 3) of ’s 2021-2029 Housing Element.

Table B-1 shows the City’s 2021-2029 RHNA need by income category as well as a breakdown of the sites identified to meet that need. The analysis within Appendix B shows that the City of Calimesa has the capacity to meet their 2021-2029 RHNA allocation through a variety of methods, including:
• Identification of capacity on existing, residentially zoned sites and specific plans; • Identification of capacity on existing, mixed-use zoned sites which permit residential; • Future development of accessory dwelling units (ADUs); • Project currently in the pipeline; and
• Identification of land for rezone to accommodate remaining RHNA allocation.

Selection of Sites
The City of Calimesa is able to accommodate the 2021-2029 RHNA allocation through existing, residentially zoned properties, remaining capacity in existing specific plans and development agreements, ADU projections, projects in the pipeline, and through the creation of an overlay zone.

The City has identified 148 parcels currently zoned to permit residential development with potential to accommodate future housing development between 2021 and 2029. These include vacant and nonvacant residentially zoned parcels, projects in the pipeline, and remaining capacity in existing specific plans and development agreements. A total of 11,80111,694 units can be accommodated on these 148 parcels, of which 790 would be affordable to very low and low income households.

Site-by-Site Calculation
Reasonable capacity for sites identified to meet the City’s RHNA was calculated based on a number of factors, including existing zoning requirements, vacancy, and the assumed density based on the City’s development history. Per HCD guidance, the City has assumed a potential development density of 80 percent of the maximum permitted where recent development history in the zoning designation is not present. Potential constraints to the full redevelopment of the parcel, to the extent they are known, such as environmentally sensitive areas, were considered and deductions were made where those factors decreased the net buildable area of a parcel. Additionally, all development standards have been applied to candidate sites and it was determined that all project would feasibly develop at the assumed density of 80 percent of the maximum permitted density in any given zone regardless if its residential or not.

The City has identified unit capacity on sites considering existing development and the feasibility of adding housing, development standards for the respective zone, and the feasible buildable acreage of the site.

Then unit capacity was calculated by multiplying the net acreage of the site (considering existing environmental issues and existing structures) by the assumed density. A sample site calculation for a site is shown below in Table B-2.

Residentially Zoned Sites
Of the 148 total parcels identified to accommodate future housing development, 59 are current residentially zoned sites with potential to accommodate 708 units; they are zoned RR, RLM, RL, DVC and RH. A total of 52 of these sites are currently vacant and have been identified as having potential to accommodate 555 units, of which 32 would be affordable to very low and low income households. Of the nonvacant

Appendix B: Adequate Sites Page B-9
Calimesa Housing Element Update
residentially zoned sites, 6 are large lots with a single-family residence and have potential for lot consolidation for future housing development. The remaining nonvacant sites are large parcels partially occupied by churches and surface parking lots; the remaining land is vacant and has potential to accommodate housing units. As vacant lots represent over 50 percent of sites identified, nonvacant sites are not considered a constraint – this is detailed in Section 4 of this Appendix B.

Table B-11 provides examples of pipeline projects which will develop at 100 percent of the allowable density in residential zones. Approximately 6 percent of the units will be available to lower income households and 48 percent to moderate income households. While the City has adopted a conservative assumption of 80 percent of the maximum zoning permitted, it is not a limit, and applicants may propose 100 percent or more of allowable density. The examples in Table B-11 demonstrate the feasibility of development at all income levels given the development assumptions made in this Chapter.

Calculation of Unit Capacity
Unit capacity was assessed through an assumption of 100 percent lot development at one income category based on the parcel’s zoning and 80 percent of the maximum zoning permitted. The parcels that can accommodate at least 20 units include 5 percent affordable to low and very low income units, per City Ordinance. The following provides the densities used to calculate unit capacity per zoning district:
• RR – 2 du/ac permitted, and 1.6 du/ac used in sites analysis calculations • RLM – 7 du/ac permitted, and 5.6 du/ac used in sites analysis calculations • RL – 4 du/ac permitted, and 3.2 du/ac used in sites analysis calculations • RH – 20 du/ac permitted, and 16 du/ac used in sites analysis calculations Downtown Village Commercial (DVC) Zone
Of the 148 total parcels identified to accommodate future housing development, 31 are zoned Downtown Village Commercial (DVC). The DVC zone permits both residential and commercial development. Of the 31 DVC-zoned parcels, 9 are currently vacant. The remaining 22 parcels currently have older and underdeveloped commercial uses with potential for redevelopment, as well as some single-family residences located on large lots with potential for lot consolidation.

Calculation of Unit Capacity
As the DVC zone permits up to 30 dwelling units per acre, potential units are counted towards the lower income RHNA. A conservative estimate of 30 percent site development towards residential uses is included in the analysis. In total, 141 net units can be accommodated on these sites for to low and very low-income households.

In order to accommodate residential uses at the required densities, the City is accommodating RHNA needs in mixed-use zones. The identified sites have been evaluated to determine the extent to which on-site uses are likely to redevelop within the planning period. The City does not have access to lease structures as these are private documents but has conducted an analysis to identify sites that show characteristics indicating they are likely to redevelop within the planning period.

The City has significant interest in several sites and continues to have discussions with property owners and developers as to the likelihood and timing of redevelopment of these sites. A conservative estimate of 30 percent site development towards residential uses has been assumed in order to allow for a variation in development trends. The City expects mixed-use parcels to develop with commercial uses but also expect 100 percent residential developments on mixed-use parcels. The DVC zone allows for 100 percent

Appendix B: Adequate Sites Page B-10
Calimesa Housing Element Update
commercial, 100 percent residential, and a mix of uses. Additionally, residential uses are allowed by-right in the DVC zone. The DVC zone allows for residential uses and encourages it through generous development standards such as reduced minimum setbacks of 5 feet and small minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet. The development standards in this zone allow for maximum use of space and density.

Additionally, the City has adopted Program Action H-3.1 to require at least 50 percent of the lower-income need to be accommodated on sites designated for residential use only or on sites zoned for mixed uses that accommodate all of the very low and low-income housing need, if those sites allow 100 percent residential use; as well as require residential use occupy 50 percent of the total floor area of a mixed-use project.

Specific Plans and Development Agreement
There are currently three entitled Specific Plans in the City – Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley, Mesa Verde Specific Plan, and Heritage Oaks Equestrian Community. JP Ranch has a development agreement with the City which has remaining capacity for housing development. Mesa Verde Specific Plan and Heritage Oaks Equestrian Community have not begun construction. Summerwind Ranch and JP Ranch have successfully begun construction. The City is able to accommodate all of its moderate and above moderate income RHNA allocation through remaining capacity of these Specific Plans and Development Agreement. A total 7,2647,436 units are remaining to be built within the Specific Plans and Development Agreement, including 359 368 units affordable to very low and low income households. All remaining capacity in the Specific Plans and Development Agreement are on currently vacant land.

Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley
The Summerwind Ranch Specific Plan was recently amended in 2022 and includes single- and multi-family units, commercial, and recreation and community uses. Development of the Specific Plan has begun in the south-east section 3,0913,084 units of the total permitted units are remaining, including 150 affordable to very low and low income households. Table B-3 shows the residential capacity approved and remaining for Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley.

The Mesa Verde Specific Plan was approved in 2007 and amended in 2017. Mesa Verde covers approximately 1,492.4 acres between the City of Calimesa and Yucaipa; 1,463.1 acres fall within the City of Calimesa jurisdiction. Mesa Verde includes four residential villages, open space and recreational areas, two elementary schools, and mixed-use areas.

Appendix B: Adequate Sites Page B-11
Calimesa Housing Element Update
Development of Mesa Verde has not begun but is anticipated through the 6th Planning Cycle. Table B-4 shows the residential capacity approved for the Specific Plan. A total of 3,650 units are approved, including 185 affordable to very low and low income households.

Heritage Oaks Equestrian Community
The Heritage Oaks Equestrian Community Specific Plan was approved in 2007 to create a residential community of 45 units. Approximately 54 percent of the Specific Plan is designated for residential, and 42 percent is designated towards open space. The Specific Plan includes 45 total dwelling units, with a density of 1.5 dwelling units per acre over 29.3 acres.

Riedman Map
The City of Calimesa reviewed, and approved Tract 37802 "Riedman Map" located at 407410001 which would accommodate 179 single family detached residential lots in the RLM zone (Table B-10). The project is located on a large, majority vacant parcel that currently has one dilapidated single-family home. The City anticipates a full build out of the project during the 6th Cycle planning period.

The project has been analyzed for its suitability in the 6th Cycle planning period and determined to be feasible. The project is consistent with adjacent properties and uses. The City determined that based on the current and past development of developments with similar project scopes and sizes, the Riedman Map development will feasibly develop during the planning period. Due to the size of the project, it is assumed that the applicant will phase the project, but the City expects that all phases will be completed during the planning period as discussions with the applicant indicate the desire to develop as soon as possible.

While the City does not have actual rents or purchased prices for projects that have not been developed yet, the City assumes that the project will offer market rate units, though, per the approved entitlements and inclusionary ordinance, nine of these are required to be affordable.

JP Ranch Development Agreement
The City and JP Ranch entered into a Development Agreement in December 2004. The agreement includes the development of single-family parcels. Since 2004, all housing units located to the west of Singleton Road has developed. The remaining portion is located to the east of Singleton Road and includes 478 housing units over 299.1 acres and affordable to a majority moderate and above moderate income households. While the City does not have actual rents or purchased prices for projects that have not been developed yet, the City assumes that the project will offer market rate units, though, per the approved entitlements and inclusionary ordinance, five percent, or 24 of these units are required to be affordable.

The Heights
The City of Calimesa is currently reviewing a new proposed Specific Plan – The Heights – which would accommodate 2,248 units affordable to all incomes (Table B-11). The proposed Specific Plan is located on properties currently vacant and identified as part of the 5th Cycle housing sites.

To date, The Heights applicant has submitted one incomplete submittal of a specific plan document. The applicant's traffic engineers have been working with the City to get an approved traffic impact analysis scoping agreement. Once the scope has been accepted by the City's traffic engineer, the applicant would like to release a Notice of Preparation ("NOP") for the project's Environmental Impact Report. This is anticipated to occur approximately in the 4th quarter of 2023. The City expects the approval of the Plan in 2024 or the first quarter of 2025, at the conclusion of the environmental review. There are currently no individual projects pending or approved for construction, as each individual projects and residential product types will be developed after the Specific Plan is adopted by the City Council in 2024 or the first quarter of 2025. The Specific Plan will require City Council approval, while individual projects with the planning area would require administrative reviews subject to objective requirements approved by the Specific Plan. Prior to adoption, requirements and procedures for development agreements and conditions of approval would be drafted and considered by the City Council. The City does not anticipate that the adoption of the Specific Plan would pose a constraint that would prevent a full build out of the project during the 6th Cycle planning period.

Appendix B: Adequate Sites Page B-14
Calimesa Housing Element Update
The project has been analyzed for its suitability in the 6th Cycle planning period and determined to be feasible. The land is similar to Summerwind and JP Ranch, both of which are currently under construction.

The City determined that based on the current and past development of developments with similar project scopes and sizes, the Heights development will feasibly develop during the planning period. Developer interest, continued collaboration with staff, and communal ownership of the parcels indicate that the applicant is likely to develop all the anticipated units within the planning period. The City anticipates that the Specific Plan will be approved and adopted by the end of 2023 and expects that all necessary approvals or steps for entitlement will be satisfied by the end of 2024. Due to the size of the project, it is assumed that the applicant will phase the project, but the City expects that all phases will be completed during the planning period as discussions with the applicant indicate the desire to develop as soon as approvals are granted.

While the City does not have actual rents or purchased prices for projects that have not been developed yet, the City estimates that the Density Standards will yield units as identified in Table B-5. The City assumes this project will primarily offer market rate units, though, some of the may be required to be affordable if they are for-sale units. The City believes that the densities proposed will yield additional affordable units by design, though, these assumptions are not reflected in Table B-5. While the Village Mixed-Use and Village High Density zones are proposed to allow a density range from 15 du/acre to 35 du/acre, the applicant has indicated in its project submittal that all project areas with residential components will be developed at 35 du/acre. Based on this information provided by the developer/applicant, the City assumes the Specific Plan will be developed at these densities.

These affordability levels are assumed to be part of the Specific Plan’s project description. The low and moderate unit capacity was determined based on development assumptions given specific plan zones, allowed densities, development standards, and information received from the applicant.

Additionally, the City assumed the unit capacities based on an average of past developments such as Summerwind and JP Ranch. The Heights Specific Plan would permit owner-occupied multifamily uses byright for developments in which 20 percent or more of the units are affordable to lower-income households (See Program Action H-3.18). Table B-10 describes available sites in the Heights Specific Plan at the parcel level.

Vacant and Nonvacant Land to Accommodate Lower-Income
RHNA Need
Vacant Land
The City of Calimesa has identified sufficient land to accommodate at least 50 percent of the RHNA allocation for very low and low income housing units on currently vacant parcels. Between projects in the pipeline, vacant residential sites, and remaining capacity in existing Specific Plans and Development Agreements, 73 percent of parcels are currently vacant. A total of 108 vacant parcels have been identified

Appendix B: Adequate Sites Page B-15
Calimesa Housing Element Update
as having capacity to develop 475 units affordable to very low and low income households. This represents

61.7 percent of the City’s RHNA allocation for low and very low income units. In sum, the existing uses on the remaining nonvacant sites identified as part of this sites analysis are not presumed to impede on future housing development.

Nonvacant Land
A total of 37 nonvacant parcels have been identified as part of the City’s sites analysis. These parcels include:
• 17 large, mostly vacant parcels with one single-family residence; • 11 commercial uses with large, surface parking lot or large vacant lot space; • 6 older, marginal or underutilized commercial uses; and • 3 church sites with surface parking and large vacant land space. • While no past history of developing affordable units on nonvacant sites is available, the City has provided additional policies and programs to incentivize and encourage affordable infill housing.

Furthermore, The assumptions on non-vacant land can be characterized using the following assumptions: Commercial opportunities would not have to be discontinued on sites with residential potential
• City owned sites, or sites owned by religious institutions and can take advantage of new state law • Marginal uses that are deemed likely to discontinue due to vacancy, underperformance of deferred maintenance.
• Non-vacant land has minimal improvements, such as one structure on the site • Non vacant sites account for the potential use of 100% non-residential uses In total, 153 net units could be accommodated on nonvacant lots, including 37 affordable to lower income households. Section 4: Housing Plan includes a lot consolidation program and other programs to incentivize the development of housing units on nonvacant sites.

Calimesa has experienced a high volume of residential growth over the past 5-10 years. While many projects occur on large lots of vacant land, the City anticipates redevelopment projects within the downtown region. As growth continues, the City will utilize both the Housing Element and its policies, and the downtown region, to create new housing near economic opportunity and transit.

The nonvacant sites listed in the inventory include a mix of existing commercial retail or single family residential. Most of the lots are primarily vacant, with an existing unit or structure occupying a small percent of the site (information outlined in Table B-10).

Redevelopment could occur on these sites in many ways:
• For sites which include older single-family units or commercial structures, projects with largely vacant remaining lots, a property owner of developer could subdivide the property to develop the remaining portion of the lot. The sites with existing permanent structures may require fewer on-site improvements and are connected to the City’s water, sewer, and dry utility infrastructure system. • For sites which are occupied with a structure or unit, and only a small or moderate portion of the lot is vacant but is surrounding by vacant lots, a developer or property owner could utilize lot consolidation to develop multiple parcels for residential use. • Sites which are considered “fully developed” but include only surface parking have the greatest opportunity for redevelopment. Surface parking in commercial districts where retail demands are

Appendix B: Adequate Sites Page B-16
Calimesa Housing Element Update
slowing due to a shift to online stores and reduction of brick-and-mortar retail (largely related to COVID-19 ), are prime opportunities for residential uses. • Sites which are primarily vacant, but include a foundation, non-permitted structure or shed have the highest opportunity for redevelopment. The sites would likely require fewer demolition related improvements prior to redevelopment.

Additionally, related to the calculation of unit capacity, existing units were taken into consideration and removed from the net unit opportunity, rather than showing gross unit opportunity for nonvacant sites. The City has also developed Program Action H-3.20 to create by right approval processing for any project which proposed at least 20 percent of all units affordable to lower incomes. The policy extends to nonvacant sites that were identified in the 5th cycle Planning Period.

Table B-9 shows the existing uses on each of the candidate sites identified to meet Calimesa’s low and very-low income RHNA need. These sites are largely commercial in nature, majority of the nonvacant sites identified are underutilized or are considered non vacant per HCD’s standards, however, have viable capacity for redevelopment. Each site was analyzed based on viability for redevelopment, sites were evaluated based on:
• Parcel acreage
• Availability of land for residential development
• Existing use
• Accessibility to resources and transit proximity
A total of 13 of the nonvacant sites (identified to accommodate the lower income RHNA) have existing residential units. Table B-9 contains a detailed description of their uses. The majority of the exiting units appear to be in need of repair, are unoccupied, or are one single family units. None of the sites included affordable deed restricted housing units. Additionally, all unit capacity was calculated with a conservative assumption of partial redevelopment for affordable units. For a site with one acre and one unit, a theoretical capacity was identified by multiplying acreage and minimum density. Then, existing residential uses were removed from future capacity, finally, a realistic capacity was calculated by multiplying a percentage (20 or 50 percent) of the total site by the theoretical capacity. Therefore, any existing residential units would not be displaced by the City’s capacity assumptions.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)
Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) are housing units which may be developed in addition to an existing singleor multi-family residential use. These housing units can be free-standing or attached to a primary structure and are intended to provide additional housing on an existing residential lot. Other ADUs provide housing for family members or are rented to members of the community.

In 2020 the City permitted 2 ADUs followed by another 3 in 2021 and 2022. In accordance with State law, ADUs are allowed in all zones that allow single- and multi-family unit developments. Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs) are permitted in single- family unit zones. The City of Calimesa has determined based on the SCAG/HCD approved methodology that it is appropriate to anticipate the development of 32 total ADUs between 2021 and 2029, as shown in Table B-6.

To facilitate the development of ADUs for lower income households, the City has developed relevant policies and programs (Section 4). The City assumes an affordability breakdown of ADUs based on the ADU Affordability Assumptions produced by SCAG for each county. Using the SCAG assumptions for Riverside County, the city has allocated the following ADU totals for each income category:

Table B-7: ADU Projections and Affordability
RHNA Income Category Percent of Total ADUs Number of ADUs Extremely Low 15% 5
Very Low 7.7% 2
Low 34.8% 10
Moderate 34.8% 10
Above Moderate 7.7% 5
TOTAL 32
Assembly Bill 1397
Assembly Bill 1397 identifies general size requirements for candidate housing sites of greater than half an acre and less than 10 acres in size. The City of Calimesa has identified 24 housing sites which cover less than half an acre and 4 housing sites which cover more than 10 acres.

Development of Smaller Sites
The City has identified 24 sites smaller than half an acre to accommodate a total of 28 units, including 15 affordable to lower income households. These sites were identified as they have potential to be redeveloped through lot consolidation and through the use of multiple common ownership lots functioning as one lot.

Three clusters of sites totaling 8 parcels and 8 units affordable to lower income households have common ownership and 10 are currently vacant. The smaller sites with common ownership may not meet size requirements, but collectively, the parcels can function as one site without the need for lot consolidation.

The small size of parcels do not prevent the development of lower income housing. The sites are located near services, resources, and transportation, making them ideal sites to accommodate lower income housing.

Appendix B: Adequate Sites Page B-18
Calimesa Housing Element Update
While there is no history of developing low-income housing on smaller lots, the intent of Section 4: Housing Plan is to guide future development of housing in Calimesa. The City has drafted housing programs to encourage the development of housing at all income levels. The City has drafted Program Action H-3.15:

Small Lots in order to promote the development of affordable housing units on smaller sites. The City will create, adopt, and promote a Small Lot Subdivision Ordinance with the goal of incentivizing the development of affordable units.

In addition, the City will facilitate lot consolidation (Program H-3.7) as a solution to developing small sites.

Additional incentives for small lot consolidations may include, but are not limited to, deferred fees for lot consolidation projects, expedited permit processing, and/or flexible development standards such as setback requirements, reduced parking or increased heights.

Development of Larger Sites
The City has identified 4 sites larger than 10 acres to accommodate a total of 226 units, including 10 affordable to lower income households. These sites range in size from 10.58 to 16.78 acres. These sites were identified as they have potential to be developed through lot splits, the creation of new parcels, or the development of subdivisions. Two of the sites are owned by the same property owner and all are currently vacant. Programs are included in Section 4 to facilitate the development on these larger sites.

State law assumes that sites 10 acres or larger are an impediment to the development of housing for lower income households. However, it is not reasonable to assume that the size of a parcel determines the feasibility of a project. Feasibility of a project may take parcel size into account but overwhelmingly considers other factors such as financing, developer sentiment, and overall housing market conditions.

Developers also consider public opinion, housing need, and governmental support. The City has entered into development agreements (Table B-10) for sites ranging from 42.8 to 317.7 acres, almost all of which will provide a significant amount of low and very-low income units. These existing development agreements highlight the feasibility of developing large sites with an affordable component. The sites in Table B-10 are all large sites which have, or will, develop during the 6th Cycle. The large sites allow for the development of housing at all income levels and existing development agreements highlight the viability of large sites in the City.

The City has reviewed all sites for environmental concerns and considerations as well as development and land use restrictions. Additionally, each site has been reviewed for existing use, access to infrastructure, water, utilities, and additional development constraints. Where the analysis showed increased barriers to development related to environmental concern, infrastructure concerns or existing conditions and development concerns (such as slope and grading, hazardous surrounding uses, restrictive development standards) the sites were removed. Larger sites were analyzed for potential for development and the analysis yielded findings that guided the site selection process. The findings showed that larger sites had subareas within individual parcels that exhibited higher potential for redevelopment than other subareas in the same parcel. This finding led the City to determine the true “buildable” acreage of individual large sites.

Additionally, the City has a history of lot splitting larger parcels to facilitate the development of smaller lots.

If a landowner applied for a lot split, City staff would review the application for compliance with the zoning code. Upon confirmation of compliance, the Planning Department would recommend the Planning Commission approve the lot split. The City does not find the process a constraint and further, the City is committed to simplifying the process and facilitating the development of larger sites by adopting Program Action H-3.16: Large Lots. Program Action H-3.16 will expedite permit processing of larger sites and automatically approve lot splits or creation of new parcels so long as the proposal is in compliance with the

Appendix B: Adequate Sites Page B-19
Calimesa Housing Element Update
zoning code. The City will annually review funding opportunities to provide or support financial assistance with the development of infrastructure required to develop large sites.

The City has facilitated lot splits to encourage development of larger lots and the most recent lot split proposal which will be approved is for part of “The Heights” project in the pipeline. Larger lots are to be further subdivided to encourage the development these lots. The project will provide 113 very low income units on a lot size larger than 10 acres. Much like the large candidate sites, the parcels are all currently vacant.

The City is being proactive to facilitate and encourage the development of large sites with affordable components. The City’s intent is to remove any perceived or real constraints due to parcel size. Based on existing development agreements and proactive efforts the City is taking to reduce or mitigate potential constraints, it is reasonable to assume that larger sites can be feasibly developed and provide an affordable component.

Zoning for Lower-Income Households
All of the City’s sites to accommodate lower income housing are based upon the following assumptions:
• Sites to accommodate at least 20 du/ac or more
• Sites with approved projects/entitlements for affordable units • Sites that require inclusionary units per city policy • Rezoned sites to accommodate at least 20 du/ac
• Development or Specific Plan that requires the inclusion of lower income units Water, Sewer and Dry Utility Availability
Each site has been evaluated to ensure there is adequate access to water and sewer connections as well as dry utilities. Each site is situated with a direct connection to a public street that has the appropriate water and sewer mains and other infrastructure to service the candidate site. Additionally, the City has identified a program in Section 4 to ensure priority connectivity to current and future developments affordable to lower income households.

The 2020 Upper Santa Ana Watershed Water Management Plan addresses stormwater management throughout the City as it provides for the identification and management of facilities to manage stormwater throughout the community. According to the Water Quality Management Plan, facilities and mitigations for potential peak stormwater flows are not deemed a constraint to future residential development.

Utility services for gas and electric are provided by Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) and Southern California Edison (SCE). In accordance with the California Public Utilities Commission and in compliance with SCE’s “Rules for the sale of electric energy” all electric and gas service will be provided for future development in the City of Calimesa as requested. SoCalGas and SCE may partner with the City to provide services and obtain authorization to construct any required facilities. The City has a mature energy distribution system that will be able to add additional service connections for future residential land uses.

Appendix C: Community Engagement Summary
Section 65583 of the Government Code states that, "The local government shall make diligent effort to achieve public participation of all economic segments of the community in the development of the housing element, and the program shall describe this effort." Meaningful community participation is also required in connection with the City's Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH). A discussion of citizen participation is provided below.

As part of the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update process, the City of Calimesa has conducted public outreach activities beginning in fall 2021. These recent outreach efforts included a City Council and Planning Commission Study Session, Community Workshops, and noticed Public Hearings.

Outreach for the 6th Cycle Housing Element to the Calimesa community, includes the following actions:
 Community Workshop #1 – The City conducted a community workshop on October 14, 2021 virtually and was advertised online. At the workshop, participants were provided with an overview of the planning process, the City’s RHNA obligations, and were also engaged in an interactive exercise to focus on and identify the responses and creative solutions to the following:
o What housing challenges are present in Calimesa;
o How could housing issues be addressed; and
o What policies and programs Calimesa should consider.
 Community Workshop #2 – The City conducted a virtual second community workshop on November 17, 2021. The workshop was advertised using flyers as well as on the City’s website.

Workshop participants were provided information about the City’s RHNA obligations, accommodating future growth, and were also engaged in an interactive exercise focused on fair housing issues and housing needs.
 City Council and Planning Commission Joint Study Session – The City held a joint City Council and Planning Commission Study Session on November 15 to engage the Councilmembers and Commissioners on the Housing Element Update process, timeline, and State law requirements.

The Council and Commission had the opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback on preliminary strategies.

As required by Government Code Section 65585(b)(2), all written comments regarding the Housing Element made by the public have previously been provided to each member of the City Council.

This Appendix contains a summary of all public comments regarding the Housing Element received by the City at scheduled public meetings, and the Appendix has been provided to the City Council.

This section contains all available public comments provided during the Public Review Draft open comment period and any additional comments received by the City relating to the Housing Element update process.

The following table contains summaries of public comments and responses as to how comments have been addressed and incorporated into the 2021-2029 Housing Element.

Table C-1: Summary of Public Comments
Public Comments Responses
The Housing Element should address affordable
housing for seniors, homelessness, single parents,
and students.

Section 2: Community Profile provides an
analysis of special needs groups in the community
and lists resources and programs available to each
to address their unique challenges and housing
needs.

A number of programs are included in Section 4:

Housing Plan which aim to provide additional
resources and assistance to special needs groups.

Create and maintain long-term affordability. Deed-restricted affordable units may provide longterm affordability. As noted in Section 3.C.3, the City does not currently have any deed-restricted
affordable units; however, the section includes a
number of entities and resources that may assist in
developing deed-restricted units.

The City has adopted an Inclusionary Housing
Ordinance to create homeownership opportunities
for lower income households. As Program Action
H-3.4 notes, projects proposing 20 or more units
are required to dedicate 5% of proposed units to
low-income households.

In addition, through Program Action H-3.1, the City
will establish a Residential Infill Opportunity
Overlay Zone to accommodate new potential
affordable units.

Maintain community standards and small-town
feel.

Housing Goal 1 is to “encourage the improvement,
maintenance, and rehabilitation of the existing
housing stock.” The Housing Element seeks to
update standards where necessary to remain
consistent with State law but continue to facilitate
programs and resources that are successful and of
use to the community.

Access to amenities and community services are
important for residents and children.

A number of programs are included in Section 4:

Housing Plan to improve access to resources and
services throughout the community. Examples
include:
- H-2.1: Affirmatively Furthering Fair
Housing
- H-3.10: Capital Improvement
Programming and Prioritization
Create a variety of housing types. The goal of the Housing Element is to provide a variety of housing types for all residents to find

The package included the Building Homes and Jobs Act (SB 2), which established a funding source to increase the supply of affordable homes in California by collecting a $75 recording fee on real estate documents. These funds were made available to all local governments in California to help prepare, adopt, and implement plans that streamline housing approvals and accelerate housing production; and,
WHEREAS, the City was awarded a $160,000 grant by the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) SB 2 program to prepare a “Residential Infill Priority Area Overlay Zone”, also referred to as the “RIPAOZ,” to up-zone certain residential properties identified by the City to allow higher density development including duplexes, townhomes, condos, and a limited amount of apartments by-right; and,
WHEREAS, the City was awarded a $65,000 supplementary grant by HCD Local Early Action Grants program, also referred to as the “LEAP” program, to assist in the preparation and adoption of planning documents and process improvements that accelerate housing production and facilitate compliance to implement the sixth cycle of the regional housing need assessment; and, WHEREAS, the City prepared the RIPAOZ to encourage infill development and allow for higher density residential development than the underlying zoning designation as established by Calimesa Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 18.20. The RIPAOZ establishes areas where infill residential development is encouraged which maintains the character of existing neighborhood buildings and structures; to permit a flexible approach to providing affordable housing; to increase property values in residential neighborhoods; and to foster well-planned, compact developments keeping with the character of the existing neighborhood by a) Providing opportunities for the development of affordable housing, b) Promoting efficiency in the utilization of existing infrastructure and services, c) Facilitating integrated physical design, d) Promoting a high level of design quality, e) Facilitating development proposals responsive to current and future market conditions, and f) Providing safe vehicular circulation patterns for residents and safety/service providers; and,
WHEREAS, this Draft Ordinance is a component of the Residential Infill Priority Area Overlay Zone Project (the “RIPAOZ Project” or “Project”), and is considered a “project” pursuant to the terms of the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq. and the State CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000 et seq.

WHEREAS, on October 2, 2023, the City Council adopted resolutions and ordinances approving EA 22-05, GPA 22-01, and ZC 21-01; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Calimesa now desires to amend various sections of the Zoning Code (Title 18 of the Calimesa Municipal Code) to ensure that the RIPAOZ complies with State Housing Law requirements and ensures that the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element will meet the requirements identified by the California Department of Housing and Community Development in their letters to the City providing comments regarding the City’s Draft Housing Element; and, WHEREAS, the proposed changes made by this Ordinance are consistent with and within the scope of the certified Environmental Impact Report (SCH#2022030754) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program that were prepared by the City of Calimesa to evaluate the development of the properties included in the RIPAOZ (EA 22-05); and,

Dear Kelly Lucia:

RE: City of Calimesa’s 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Revised Draft Housing Element Thank you for submitting the City of Calimesa’s (City) revised draft housing element update received for review on November 22, 2023. Pursuant to Government Code section 65585, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is reporting the results of its review. Our review was facilitated by a conversation on January 10, 2024 with you, and consultants Dave Barquist and Bryant De la Torre.

HCD is pleased to find the revised draft housing element meets the statutory requirements described in its August 14, 2023 review. However, the housing element cannot be found in substantial compliance until the City has completed necessary rezones (Programs H-3.1 and H-3.2) that meet statutory requirements and new laws regarding emergency shelters as described below. The housing element will substantially comply with State Housing Element Law (Gov. Code, § 65580 et seq.) when the necessary rezones are complete and comply with statutory requirements, new laws are addressed and the element is adopted, submitted to, and approved by HCD, in accordance with Government Code section 65585.

Specifically, pursuant to Assembly Bill 1398 (Chapter 358, Statutes of 2021), a jurisdiction that failed to adopt a compliant housing element within one year from the statutory deadline cannot be found in compliance until rezones to make prior identified sites available or accommodate a shortfall of sites to accommodate the regional housing needs allocation (RHNA) are completed pursuant to Government Code section 65583, subdivision (c)(1)(A) and Government Code section 65583.2, subdivisions (c), (h) and (i). HCD has reviewed Ordinances 392, 393 and 394 (Ordinances) that were completed to address these statutory requirements. However, the Ordinances do not appear to meet statutory requirements. For example, the zoning does not appear to permit owner-occupied and rental multifamily residential use by-right for developments in which at least 20 percent of the units are affordable to lower-income households.
