Moderate Income Households
Persons and households of moderate income earn between 81 percent and 120 percent of the County’s AMI – up to $120,150, depending on household size in 2020. The maximum affordable home price for a moderate-income household is $315,700 for a one-person household and $467,000 for a five-person family. Moderate income households in Coronado would not be able to purchase a home in the City. The maximum affordable rent payment for moderate income households is between $1,948 and $3,004 per month. Moderate income households may be able to afford 1-bedroom

Section 3. Housing Constraints
The City of Coronado (referred to as "City" or "Coronado"), located in the State of California (referred to as "State" or "California"), and the federal government have the authority to establish regulatory requirements that can limit or influence development. These requirements are found in documents like the California Building Code and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), in addition to being shaped by local zoning ordinances, land use plans, and internal processes that impact the complexity, timelines, and costs associated with project permitting.
Moreover, development can encounter additional non-governmental restrictions stemming from market dynamics (e.g., land and construction costs, financing availability, and the feasibility of housing projects) and environmental considerations.
Combined, these factors can create barriers to the availability and affordability of new housing, especially for lower and moderate-income households. A variety of constraints affect the provisions and opportunities for adequate housing in Coronado. This section provides an overview of these constraints and delves into past and future initiatives aimed at mitigating these constraints whenever feasible.
A. Nongovernmental Constraints
Nongovernmental constraints largely affect the cost of housing in Coronado and can produce barriers to housing production and affordability. These constraints include the availability and cost of land for residential development, the demand for housing, financing, and lending, construction costs, and the availability of labor, which can make it expensive for developers to build any housing, especially affordable housing. The City will implement Program H-5.H Nongovernmental Constraints found in Section 8: Housing Plan, to help address the primary market factors that affect the production of housing in Coronado as discussed below.
1. Land Costs and Construction Costs
Construction costs may vary widely according to the type of development, with multi-family housing generally less expensive to construct than single-unit homes. However, there is variation within each construction type, depending on the size of the unit and the number and quality of amenities provided. An indicator of construction costs is Building Valuation Data compiled by the International Code Council (ICC). The International Code Council was established in 1994 with the goal of developing a single set of national model construction codes, known as the International Codes, or I-Codes. The ICC updates the estimated cost of construction at six-month intervals and provides estimates for the average cost of labor and materials for typical Type VA wood-frame housing. Estimates are based on “good quality” construction, providing materials and fixtures well above the minimum required by state and local building codes. In August 2020, the ICC estimated that the average per-square-foot cost for goodquality housing was approximately $118.57 for multi-unit housing, $131.24 for single-unit homes, and $148.44 for residential care/assisted living facilities. Construction costs for custom homes and units with extra amenities run even higher. Construction costs are also dependent upon materials used and building height, as well as regulations set by the City’s adopted Building Code. For example, according to the ICC, an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) or converting a garage using a Type VB wood framed unit would cost about $123.68 per square foot. Although construction costs are a significant portion of the overall development cost, they are consistent throughout the region and, especially when considering land costs, are not considered a major constraint to housing production in Coronado.
Land costs can also pose a significant constraint to the development of affordable and middle-income housing and represent a significant cost component in residential development. The cost of land was cited as a constraint by developers who took part in the City’s stakeholder outreach process on September 28, 2023. Land costs may vary depending on whether the site is vacant or has an existing use that must be removed. A September 2020 Redfin and Zillow search of lots for sale in the City returned five vacant lots sold over the last four years; there are no vacant Attachment 1

lots currently on the market. Of the lots listed, the costs ranged from $1,595,000 for 0.13 acres (about $285 per square foot) to $6,150,000 for 0.25 acres (about $603 per square foot). In addition, a local construction company assumes about a $900,000 valuation for a 3,500-square-foot property in the Village, which generally sells for about $1,000,000. For a 7,000-square-foot lot with no ocean or bay view, a value of $1,500,000 to about $2,400,000 is assumed, with a general sales price of about $1,800,000. Additionally, the estimated sale price for an oceanfront lot is about $5,000,000. The limited supply and high cost of vacant land pose the largest constraint to the construction of affordable housing, especially affordable housing in Coronado.
2. Availability of Financing
The availability of financing in a community depends on several factors, including the type of lending institutions active in a community, lending practices, rates and fees charged, laws and regulations governing financial institutions, and equal access to such loans. Additionally, the availability of financing affects a person’s ability to purchase or improve a home. Under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA), lending institutions are required to disclose information on the disposition of loan applications and the income, gender, and race of loan applicants.
The primary concern in a review of lending activity is to determine whether home financing is available to residents of a community. The data presented in this section includes the disposition of loan applications submitted to financial institutions for home purchase, home improvement, and refinancing in Coronado.
Table 3-1 below displays the disposition of loan applications for the San Diego-Chula Vista- Carlsbad area, per the 2016 HMDA report. Within the San Diego region, the lowest levels of loan approval were among households within the low and very low-income groups, particularly among applicants who identified as Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, American Indian, and Alaska Native. Applicants who identified as Asian or White were among those with a higher percentage of approval in the low and very-low-income categories. Applicants in the moderate and above moderate-income categories had higher rates of loan approval, over 50% for persons of all races and ethnicities.
Overall, a higher number of people who identified as White applied for home loans and had some of the highest rates of approval in all income categories which can be expected given the City’s demographics. Given the relatively high rates of approval for home purchase, improvement, and refinance loans, home financing is generally available and not considered to be a significant constraint to the provision and maintenance of housing in Coronado.

3. Economic Constraints
Market forces on the economy and the construction industry can act as a barrier to housing construction and especially to affordable housing construction. It is estimated that housing price growth will continue in the city and the region for the foreseeable future. Moving into 2020, the economy was growing, California was seeing a 1.6 percent growth in jobs from 2019 and experiencing all-time lows for unemployment rates. However, with the unexpected and rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus, the California economy and prior growth came to a pause. The lasting effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on housing will remain unknown for some time, however, it created an additional economic burden for many people who became unemployed in 2020.
A 2020 California Association of Realtors (CAR) report found that homes on the market in San Diego County cost an average of $670,000 in February 2020, a seven percent increase year-to-year change. According to the CAR First Time Buyer Housing Affordability Index, from 2018 to 2019 the median value of a home in San Diego County was $556,750 with monthly payments (including taxes and insurance) of $2,880, requiring an average qualifying income of $86,400. In the City of Coronado, homes and the cost of living were significantly higher. According to the November 2019 CoreLogic California Home Sale Activity, the median cost of a home in Coronado was $1,095,000.
Coronado’s median home price outpaced nearby coastal cities such as Solana Beach ($1,020,000), Encinitas ($992,000), and Carlsbad ($859,000). The high cost of land and increasing home prices in Coronado present a constraint to the development of and access to housing, particularly at the rental and for-sale prices available to lower-income renters and buyers.

4. Timing and Density
Market conditions can also influence the timeframe between project approval and the submission of building permit requests. Occasionally, this delay arises from developers facing challenges in securing construction financing. In Coronado, the customary interval between project approval and the submission of building permit requests generally spans two to four months. During the stakeholder outreach process, it was communicated by participating developers that density limits can also pose as a constraint in the development of affordable housing. Nevertheless, it is anticipated that as residential development advances in mixed-use areas, the average development density will rise in the 6th cycle Housing Element. The average length of time between receiving approval for a housing development and submittal of an application for building permits is two to four months during the last five years.
During developer stakeholder meetings in September 2023, there were no concerns about the duration of the time this process takes or expediting this process.
5. Local Efforts to Address Non-Governmental Constraints While the City has limited control of non-governmental constraints, the City has participated and will continue to participate in local and regional efforts toward fair housing, which includes accessibility to funding and financing for Coronado residents. Through participation in the regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing and the regular updates to the County’s Consolidated Plan, the City will continue to make efforts to identify non-governmental constraints and methods and strategies to address them.

Section 3. Housing Constraints Page 3-5
B. Governmental Constraints
In addition to market constraints, local policies and regulations also affect the price and availability of housing and the provision of affordable housing. For example, State and Federal regulations, which the City has no control over, also affect the availability of land for housing and the cost of housing production. Regulations related to environmental protection, building codes, and other topics have significant, often adverse, impacts on housing costs and availability.
While the City of Coronado has no control over State and Federal Laws that affect housing, local laws including land use controls, site improvement requirements, fees and exactions, permit processing procedures, and other factors can constrain the maintenance, development, and improvement of housing.
1. Land Use Controls
In the State of California, cities are required to prepare a comprehensive, long-term General Plan to guide future development. The Land Use Element of the General Plan establishes land uses for developments within the City of Coronado. The Land Use Element sets policies and regulations for guiding local development. These policies, together with existing zoning regulations, establish the amount and distribution of land to be allocated for different uses within the City. The Land Use Element of the General Plan identifies the following residential categories:
• Very Low Density Residential: Up to 8 dwelling units per acre • Low Density Residential: Up to 12 dwelling units per acre • Medium Density Residential: Up to 28 dwelling units per acre • High Density Residential: Up to 40 dwelling units per acre • Very High Density Residential: Up to 47 dwelling units per acre • Residential-Planned Community Development
• Residential-Special Care Development
• Planned Community Development
These categories accommodate the development of a wide range of housing types in Coronado. Furthermore, maintaining the existing residential categories is important for ensuring compatibility between the new and existing housing.
2. Overlay Zones
Overlay Zones are regulatory tools that create a special zoning district, placed over an existing base zone(s), which identifies special provisions in addition to those in the underlying base zone. The overlay district can share common boundaries with the base zone or cut across base zone boundaries. Regulations or incentives are attached to the overlay district to protect a specific resource or guide development within a special area.1
3. Local Coastal Program
The Local Coastal Program (LCP) is a coastal management plan that contains land use, development, public access, and resource protection policies and regulations to implement the California Coastal Act (Coastal Act). As the whole City is within the Coastal zone, as defined by the Coastal Act, all projects must meet the LCP requirements and may be appealed to the Coastal Commission if located within their appeal jurisdiction. This additional level of review and approval process may extend the review period of development projects and increase the application and discretionary review costs.

4. Development in the Coastal Zone
Coronado is required to review coastal-zone affordable housing obligations as part of the Housing Element update, including the preservation of existing occupied units affordable to low- or moderate-income households. The City is entirely within the Coastal Zone and therefore all construction activity in the City is applicable. According to the City’s recent APR data provided to the State for the last cycle, the following data is summarized:
• New units approved in Coastal Zone: 295 units (2013-2020) • Low- and Mod-Income Units Provided: 12 units (2013-2020) • Demolition and Converted Units: 0 units
• Low Mod Income Units Required to be Replaced: 0 units The City of Coronado does not have any known low and moderate-income units that were replaced, demolished, or converted in the coastal zone since January 1, 1982. The City has supplemented the policy program to focus on opportunities for low- and moderate-income developments through a variety of methods, including ADUs and Carriage House conversions.
5. Residential Development Standards
The City of Coronado established eight residentialzoning districts in its Municipal Code to provide a range of housing types and provisions to establish use regulations and development standards. These standards and regulations are intended to create the highest quality residential development, minimize land use conflicts, encourage the maintenance of residential neighborhoods, and implement the goals of the City’s General Plan. The City will implement Program H-5.C. Availability of Housing Related Policies and Regulations found in Section 8: Housing Plan to address this constraint. The established residential zones are described below:
• Single Family Residential (R1-A): The R-1A Zone is intended to provide for communities consisting of singlefamily dwelling buildings with a minimum gross lot size of 7,500, 6,600, 6,000, or 5,500 square feet of lot area per dwelling unit (six to eight dwelling units per acre), except that single-family dwelling buildings or duplexes may be placed on a minimum lot size of 5,250 square feet of lot area per dwelling unit. • Single Family Residential Bay Front SubZone (R-1A(BF)): The R-1A(BF) Subzone is a subzone of the R-1A Zone with unique development standards due to the subzone’s unusual location relative to the San Diego Bay and public rights-of-way; topography; lot configurations; and unbuildable portions of the lots. The R1A(BF) Subzone is intended to provide for neighborhoods consisting of single-family dwelling buildings with a minimum gross lot size of 7,500 square feet of lot area per dwelling unit. • Single Family Residential (R-1B): The R-1B Zone is intended to provide for communities consisting of singlefamily dwelling buildings and duplexes with a minimum gross lot size of 3,500 square feet per dwelling such as townhouses, patio houses, and cluster houses.
• Multiple Family Residential (R-3): The R-3 Zone provides an area for the development of multiple-family dwellings with a minimum gross lot size of 1,556 square feet per dwelling unit and a minimum 3,500 square foot lot or building site.
• Multiple Family Residential (R-4): The R-4 Zone applies to the Orange Avenue Corridor Specific Plan to provide for high quality, multiple family dwelling unit structures in an intensely developed residential environment with a minimum gross lot size of 1,090 square feet per dwelling unit or a minimum 3,500 square foot lot or building site.
• Multiple Family Residential (R-5): The purpose of the R-5 Multiple Family Residential Zone is to provide regulations for residential land development at an overall maximum density of 47 dwelling units per acre consisting of high-quality multiple-family dwelling structures and supporting facilities consisting of noncommercial recreation facilities and maintenance and operational facilities essential to the development.

2021-2029 Housing Element
Section 3. Housing Constraints Page 3-7
• Residential Special Care Development (R-SCD): The Special Care Development zone is intended to provide the ambulatory elderly a care and housing opportunity within the community that addresses their unique needs and facilitates their continued participation in community activities. • Residential Planned Community Development (R-PCD): The purpose and intent of the R-PCD Zone is to provide for orderly, comprehensively planned residential development, including related open space and accessory community services consisting of desirable recreational and commercial facilities, as well as maintenance and operational facilities essential to the development. Such residential land development normally requires deviation from the normal zoning regulations and standards regarding lot size, yard requirements, bulk, and structural coverage to maximize the benefits accruing to the citizens of the City, especially for the preservation of site, view, and physical access.
As mentioned above, Coronado establishes development standards to regulate development throughout the City through its Zoning Code. The development standards include minimum requirements for lot size, width, building setbacks, and open space. Table 3-2 provides the development standards applicable to each zoning district in Coronado that allows for residential development. The table below is meant as a reference, the City’s complete development standards can be found in the Coronado Municipal Code Title 86 Zoning. Additional narrative and project examples are outlined below.
The R-3 zoning district allows 28 dwelling units per acre with structures limited to two stories (30 feet) with a FAR of 90% and a site coverage limitation of 60%. The typical 3,500 square foot lot in Coronado can accommodate the maximum allowed two dwelling units and most new construction on 3,500 square foot R-3 zoned lots include two dwelling units.
The R-4 zoning district allows 40 dwelling units per acre with structures limited to three stories (35 feet), with a FAR of 160% and a site coverage limitation of 60%. Three stories have been achieved in new residential construction projects during the last planning period. With ceiling heights of nine feet and approximately 1”- 4” of space between each floor, a three-story structure is achievable within the 35-foot height limit. Additionally, CMC 86.56.048.B. affords height exceptions for multi-family development R-4 zoned parcels to ensure they can achieve the maximum three stories. New parcels identified as being rezoned to R-4 in this Housing Element Update will have new development standards crafted when those properties go before the City Council for rezoning. R-4 was referenced more in terms of the allowable density of 40 dwelling units per acre.
The existing R-5 zoning district language was drafted to match the then-existing Coronado Shores development, which is why you see language such as a height limit “shall be no more and no less than 150 feet in height.” Table 3-2. Development Standards

6. Setbacks
Setbacks are defined by the Zoning Code as that area back from and parallel to the property line on which no building, structure, or portion thereof is permitted, erected, constructed, or placed unless specifically permitted. Setbacks to the front, sides, and rear of a property allow for light and air, pedestrian and vehicular circulation, emergency access, and aesthetic improvements.
7. Structural Coverage
Structural coverage refers to the ratio of the grade level coverage of a lot by “structures” including architectural features projecting outward from the building facade whether they extend to grade level or not to the gross lot area.
Lot coverage requirements are established by the City to regulate bulk, mass, and intensity of use.
8. Maximum Building Height
The maximum building height is the vertical distance above “grade” to different points on a building depending on the zoning district.
• For all buildings in the R-1A, R-1A(BF), R-1B, R-3 and R-4 Zones: the highest point of the roof, top of parapet wall, guardrail, mechanical equipment, or similar feature of a building with a flat, false mansard or sloped roof with a pitch of less than 3:12 and the highest point of a roof’s ridge for roofs with a pitch equal to or greater than 3:12.
• For all buildings located in zones other than R 1A, R-1A(BF), R-1B, R-3 and R-4 Zones: the average midpoint between the ridge and eave of a sloped roof with a pitch equal to or greater than 3:12 and to the highest point of the roof, top of parapet wall, guardrail, mechanical equipment or similar feature of a building with a flat, false mansard or sloped roof with a pitch less than 3:12.
9. Parking Standards
Parking standards are established by the Municipal Code to ensure adequate parking is provided for the property and visitors. Parking requirements also keep from overcrowding public parking or creating on-/off-site traffic hazards. Coronado parking requirements for residential developments are provided in Table 3-3. The table identifies a total of (2 ) two parking spaces per unit for multi-family development.
The City’s parking requirements fluctuate depending on land use and intensity. The minimum parking requirement for a 40-unit project on one acre, in the R-4 zoning district, is a total of 80 parking spaces. Assuming a standard 9- foot by 18-foot parking space, parking requirements total about 12,960 square feet. Based on the market analysis done above, uncovered lot parking for a 1-acre development, at maximum density in the R4 zone can cost about $3.6 million for the land. Construction costs for covered parking, parking structures, and/or below-ground parking can run even higher. The cost of parking based on the City’s requirements for multifamily housing can be considered a constraint to the development of housing, as was confirmed by developers during the City’s stakeholder outreach process while noting that parking availability for each unit was still desirable for prospective tenants. However, the developers may request concessions or incentives in the form of parking reduction for the development of housing affordable to low and very low-income households.

Source: Coronado Municipal Code
Parking is an amenity that occupants desire, as evidenced by a recently opened project in the City of San Diego’s North Park area. As reported by the San Diego Union Tribune, the Casa Verde project that is located near frequent and high transit opportunities was unable to attract renters and rented parking spaces from a nearby garage. Parking concessions can be helpful to control development costs but may be undesirable for tenants.
In most cases, each new residential unit necessitates (2) two parking spaces. However, there are exceptions in the R-5 Zone, where 1.5 spaces per unit suffice, as well as for affordable housing and senior housing, where only 1.5 and one space per unit are required, respectively. Overall, the City’s parking standards for larger units, irrespective of affordability, are either in line with or lower than those mandated by the State Density Bonus law. Furthermore, the City’s Density Bonus Ordinance permits a reduction in parking standards for multi-family developments upon the developer’s request, allowing just one space per studio or one-bedroom unit, in compliance with State Density Bonus law requirements, to facilitate the creation of smaller affordable units. Obtaining a parking concession in the City of Coronado under a density bonus application typically involves navigating the city’s planning and permitting processes. While the exact steps and requirements may vary depending on the specific project as each development application is assessed on a case-by-case basis, a general outline of the process is as follows:
• Pre-Application Consultation – Before beginning the formal application process. Developers can schedule a pre-application consultation with the City’s planning department. During this meeting, developers can discuss their project and intentions, including the request for density bonus and a parking concession. City staff can provide guidance on the process and requirements. • Application Submittal – The developer will be required to submit an application, which can be obtained from the City’s website or via the City’s Planning Department Counter, along with any required fees to the City’s Planning Department.
Attachment 1
City of Coronado Page 246
City of Coronado
2021-2029 Housing Element
Section 3. Housing Constraints Page 3-11
• Application Review – The City’s Planning Department will review the application, including the parking concession request, to determine if it complies with local regulations and policies. The review process may involve coordination with other City departments and agencies as needed. • Public Hearing – Depending on the project’s scale and impact, the request may be subject to Planning Commission and/or City Council hearings. These hearings provide an opportunity for public input and review by City officials.
• Decision and Permit Issuance – After the review, and public hearings if deemed appropriate, the City will decide on the parking concession request. The decision may include conditions of approval that the developer must meet. If the project and parking concession request are approved, the City will issue the necessary permits for the development to proceed.
Developers are encouraged to work closely with the City’s planning department throughout the application process and adhere to all relevant regulations and procedures throughout the process. Additionally, public outreach and engagement may be essential, especially if the parking concession request involves a significant departure from standard parking requirements or if it is likely to affect neighboring properties or residents.
When utilized for multifamily development, parking concessions can address various constraints, including:
• Cost Constraints: Parking structures or extensive parking lots can be expensive to construct and maintain.
Parking concessions reduce the cost of development by allowing developers to build fewer parking spaces or opt for less expensive parking solutions, such as surface parking. • Land Use Constraints: In the City of Coronado, land is at a premium. Parking requirements can limit the number of housing units that can be built on a given parcel of land. Parking concessions enable developers to use land more efficiently for housing.
• Density Constraints: Zoning regulations have the potential to limit the density of multifamily housing based on parking requirements. Parking concessions permit higher-density developments by reducing the number of required parking spaces, allowing for more housing units on the same piece of land. • Affordability Constraints: Building and maintaining parking facilities can increase the overall cost of a development project. By reducing parking requirements, concessions can lower construction costs, potentially making the housing more affordable for residents. • Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Constraints: In areas well-served by public transportation, concessions support TOD by allowing developers to provide fewer parking spaces, which can encourage residents to use public transit.
• Encouraging Smaller Units: Parking concessions can make it more economically feasible for developers to build smaller housing units, such as studios or one-bedroom apartments. These units are often more affordable and can appeal to a broader range of residents. • Adaptive Reuse Constraints: When repurposing existing buildings for multifamily use, parking requirements can present a challenge. Parking concessions allow for the adaptive reuse of structures without the need for extensive parking additions or modifications.
Under Program H-2.H. Assist with the Development of Affordable Housing the City will reduce parking requirements from (2) two spaces per unit to (1) one space per affordable unit for developments with an affordable component.
10. On and Off-Site Improvements
The City is a built-out community, so off-site improvements are only required for damaged sidewalks, alleyways, and other related facilities. Because the City is built-out, subdivisions and other large-scale developments are almost non-existent in the City and, therefore, required improvements are only related to the site or immediate areas around the site in which the development occurs.

12. Single-Family Dwelling
The Zoning Code defines a single-family dwelling as any building designed for use exclusively as a dwelling unit for one family, except for accessory dwelling units.
13. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Carriage Houses An ADU is an attached or detached dwelling unit that provides complete, independent living facilities for one or more persons and is located on a lot with a proposed or existing primary residence. An ADU must include a living and sleeping space, kitchen space, full bathroom, and utilities. An ADU is considered a second unit and may be located detached or attached to a single-family residence. ADUs are permitted by right with a building permit application only and no other approvals are necessary. Carriage Houses are structures in the City of Coronado which only differ functionally from ADUs because they lack a formal kitchen, which is required to qualify under the census definition of a unit. The City proposes the following programs, as described in detail in Section 8: Housing Plan, to ensure compliance with State laws and encourage the development of ADUs and Carriage Houses:
• Program H-5.F. Update the Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance- Ensure ADUs conform to state requirements.
• Program H-1.A. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)
o Adding a dedicated webpage to the City’s housing website that identifies the incentives for ADUs, including affordable ADUs;
o Making print materials available at the Community Development Department Counter; o Waiving parking requirements for ADUs with an extremely low or very low affordability covenant; o Expanding/extending fee waivers for ADUs beyond State law; and o Annually monitoring ADU permit approvals and adjusting policies to bolster efforts as needed. • Program H-4.A. Carriage House Program
o Waiving fees to help incentivize the addition of a kitchen to the existing dwellings; o Eliminating parking requirement with a low-income affordability covenant; o Encouraging the use of public transportation; and
o Annually monitoring conversions against goals and adjusting policies to bolster efforts as needed.
14. Duplexes
The Zoning Code defined a duplex as any development with two dwelling units on one lot.
15. Multi-Family Dwelling
A multi-family dwelling refers to an “apartment complex” or a “residential condominium complex” containing three or more dwelling units, a dwelling unit in one of these types of housing complexes, or a development of three or more dwelling units on one lot.
16. Manufactured Housing
Manufactured housing refers to a type of housing unit that is largely assembled in factories and then transported to sites of use and installed on a foundation system, under Section 18551 of the Health and Safety Code, and certified under the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974
17. Residential Care Facilities
A residential care facility refers to a State-authorized, certified, or licensed family care home, foster home, or group home serving six or fewer mentally disordered or otherwise disabled persons or dependent and neglected children where care is provided on a 24-hour-a-day basis. Residential care facilities to accommodate seven persons or more are permitted with a Major Special Use Permit in the R-4 zone and are permitted by right in the R-SCD zone.

18. Emergency Shelters
The City of Coronado’s Municipal Code defines emergency shelters as housing with minimal supportive services for homeless persons that is limited to occupancy of six months or less by a homeless person. The City Permits Emergency Shelters in the Commercial (C) zone and has since February 2014 but no development has occurred over the past 7 plus years. The zone provides adequate land to accommodate emergency shelters. In compliance with state law, the Municipal Code also provides the following standards for Emergency Shelters:
• Development standards applicable to the Commercial Zone in which the emergency shelter is located. • Parking requirements based upon Chapter 86.58 of the Coronado Municipal Code. • All waiting and intake areas shall be located completely within the building. • The emergency shelter shall provide on-site management during all hours of operation. • Exterior lighting and security shall be provided during hours that the emergency shelter is in operation to ensure that the use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity.
The City provides all requested development standards pursuant to state law, ensuring that emergency shelters can develop facilities consistent with city-adopted development standards. Additionally, the City has contracted with St.
Vincent de Paul Village Shelter to provide two shelter beds in two rooms each day should they be needed. Of the total development capacity of the C zone, the City conducted a general analysis of site capacity compared to the City’s recent WeAllCount survey for sheltered and unsheltered persons. The WeAllCount survey found that the City had a census of 1 person identified as sheltered or unsheltered homeless. When evaluating the capacity in the C zone for the development of facilities to support the needs of this 1 person, the City can demonstrate the capacity to meet this current need based on zoning capacity, development standards, and a cursory visual survey of appropriate sites to accommodate this need. The City will implement Program H-5.D. Compliance with AB 139 Requirements – Emergency Shelters found in Section 8: Housing Plan to help streamline processing for the development of Emergency Shelters.
19. Low Barrier Navigation Centers
AB 101 states that “The Legislature finds and declares that Low Barrier Navigation Center developments are essential tools for alleviating the homelessness crisis -.” Low Barrier Navigation Centers are defined as a Housing First, lowbarrier, service-enriched shelter focused on moving people into permanent housing that provides temporary living facilities while case managers connect individuals experiencing homelessness to income, public benefits, health services, shelter, and housing. Low Barrier Navigation Centers are required as a use by-right in areas zoned for mixed uses and nonresidential zones permitting multifamily uses if it meets specified requirements. The City of Coronado’s Municipal Code does not address Low Barrier Navigations Centers by definition; however, H-5.B. Supportive Housing and Low Barrier Navigation Centers will be adopted to ensure the City’s development standards allow Low Barrier Navigation Centers By Right in all zones that permit mixed-uses and non-residential uses.
20. Transitional Housing
Transitional housing refers to temporary housing, generally provided for a few months to two years, with supportive services that prepare individuals or families to transition from emergency or homeless shelters to permanent housing. Such housing may be configured for specialized needs groups such as people with substance abuse problems, mental illness, domestic violence victims, veterans, or people with illnesses such as AIDS/HIV. Such housing could be provided in apartment complexes, boarding house complexes, or in single-family homes.
21. Supportive Housing
Supportive housing is defined as housing with no limit on the length of stay, that is occupied by low-income adults with disabilities, and that is linked to on-site services that assist the supportive housing resident in retaining the Attachment 1
City of Coronado Page 250
City of Coronado
2021-2029 Housing Element
Section 3. Housing Constraints Page 3-15
housing, improving his or her health status, and maximizing his or her ability to live and, when possible, work in the community.
The federal Fair Housing Act and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act both place an obligation on local governments to provide reasonable accommodations, which may involve modifications or exceptions, within their zoning laws and other land use regulations. The requested reasonable accommodation will not require a fundamental alteration in the nature of a city program or law, including but not limited to the general plan, zoning ordinance, and building laws. This accommodation should be made when necessary to ensure that individuals with disabilities have an equal chance to utilize and relish residential spaces. Furthermore, in compliance with Government Code §65008, localities are mandated to assess potential and real limitations and integrate initiatives aimed at accommodating housing for individuals with disabilities.
The City guarantees that new housing developments adhere to Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations. It enforces the California Building Standards Code, which contains provisions similar to those outlined in the American Disabilities Act (ADA). Nonetheless, for residential developments, these guidelines apply solely to multi-family projects consisting of three units or more. The City also offers information to applicants or individuals seeking information about City regulations about zoning, permit procedures, and the application of building codes for individuals with disabilities. Below are key planning requirements concerning housing for individuals with disabilities in which the City has identified restraints and plans to mitigate their impact. • Definition of Family – The Coronado Zoning Ordinance requires an amendment to revise the definition of “Family.” Currently, the definition of “Family” stipulates that a family shall be characterized by shared household expenses and shared responsibility of household work, among other things. Both of these requirements can pose a constraint for persons with disabilities who are unable to contribute to household work and expenses. Under Program H-5.G. Definition of Family, the City will amend the Zoning Ordinance to revise the definition of “Family.”
• Site Planning – Group homes for more than six individuals are currently only allowed in one residential zone (R-4) and are subject to a major use permit. A use permit and exclusion of group homes from almost all residential zones are barriers to housing for persons with disabilities. Under Program H-5.B. Supportive Housing and Low Barrier Navigation Centers, the City will ensure compliance with AB 2162 (Supportive Housing Streamlined Approval) and examine amending provisions to allow for the permitting of large group homes to be similar to that of small group homes.
22. Farmworker and Employee Housing
Farm laborers are conventionally described as individuals whose primary source of income stems from seasonal agricultural labor. In the past, San Diego County boasted a substantial agricultural sector in its economy. Although there are still operational farming regions, changes in the local economy towards production and service-oriented industries have led to a decline in agricultural output within the county.
The 2021 ACS 5-year estimates of agricultural employment for San Diego County show that nearly 10,700 persons were employed in agricultural occupations in San Diego County, with less than 1% of those residing in Coronado.2 The 2021 ACS 5-year estimate also identified 23 persons were full-time farm laborers while 10 were hired as seasonal. In comparison, San Deigo County reported 4,162 full-time farm laborers and 4,026 were hired as seasonal.3 Coronado does not possess any land dedicated to agricultural production, and there is limited agricultural land near the city. Considering the elevated housing expenses in Coronado and the considerable distance from the community 2 Source: 2021 ACS 5-year estimates, Table S2405 3 Source: 2021 ACS 5-year estimates, Tables S2401 and S2402 Attachment 1
City of Coronado Page 251
City of Coronado
2021-2029 Housing Element
Section 3. Housing Constraints Page 3-16
to farmlands, it is possible that the individuals identified by the Census as city residents employed in the agricultural sector are likely farm owners situated in the county’s interior.
The state Employee Housing Act ( California Health and Safety Code Sec. 17021.5 and 17021.6) limits the extent to which local governments can regulate housing for farmworkers, requiring agricultural employee housing to be permitted by right, without a conditional use permit (CUP), in single-family zones for six or fewer persons and in agricultural zones with no more than 12 units or 36 beds. The City of Coronado’s Municipal Code does not define Farmworker Housing, but they would be treated the same as any other residential unit in the City. Under Program H-5.E. Update Farmworker and Employee Housing Zoning, the City will update the Zoning Ordinance and related policies about farmworker and employee housing to conform to state requirements, as established by the California Employee Housing Act (HSC Section 1700).
23. State Density Bonus Law
Density bonuses are another way to increase the number of dwelling units otherwise allowed in a residentially zoned area. The City’s Zoning Ordinance identifies the purpose of the Density Bonus Ordinance to increase the production of housing for a wide range of residential needs in the community, including housing for very-low, low- and moderate-income households and seniors; as well as accommodate a wide range of housing consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies expressed by the City in the Coronado General Plan.
The Planning Commission may grant a density bonus of up to 50 percent. Incentives or concessions may apply when the applicant for the housing development agrees or proposes to construct at least any one of the following:
• Ten percent of the total units of a housing development for lower income households; • Five percent of the total units of a housing development for very low-income households; • A senior citizen housing development; or
• Ten percent of the total dwelling units in a condominium project or planned development for persons and families of moderate income.
The following tables provide the density bonuses to be calculated for very low-income, low-income, and moderateincome households:

In addition, the Government Code states that when an applicant for a tentative subdivision map, parcel map, or other residential development approval donates land to a city, county, or city and county in accordance with this subdivision, the applicant shall be entitled to a 15 percent increase above the otherwise maximum allowable residential density for the entire development, as shown in Table 3-8.

Until 2021, under Government Code Section 65915, known as the Density Bonus Law, the maximum bonus was 35%.
California state law AB 2345 states that all jurisdictions in California are required to process projects proposing up to 50% additional density as long as those projects provide the additional Below Market Rate units (BMR) in the “base” portion of the project unless the locality already allows a bonus above 35 percent. The bill also lowered the BMR thresholds for concessions and incentives for projects with low-income BMRs. As of 2021, Government Code Section 65915, authorizes an applicant to receive two incentives or concessions for projects that include at least 17% of the total units for lower-income households, at least 10 percent of the total units for very low-income households, or at least 20 percent for persons or families of moderate income in a common interest development. It also allows an applicant to receive three incentives or concessions for projects that include at least 24 percent of the total units for lower-income households, at least 15 percent of the total units for very low-income households, or at least 30% for persons or families of moderate income in a common interest development.
The City has updated the Density Bonus Ordinance to allow for a maximum of 50 percent density increase to align with current state law per Coronado Municipal Code Chapter 86.53. The City of Coronado has included Program H2.K: Amend Density Bonus Ordinance to begin annual review of the ordinance beginning in 2025 to determine if the Density Bonus Ordinance needs to be updated to reflect changes in State law.
24. Concessions and Incentives
According to the State Government Code section 65915, an applicant for a density bonus may submit a proposal for a specific concession or incentive; a waiver or reduction of development standards may not affect the number of incentives or concessions to which the applicant is entitled. The following concessions and incentives must be provided to eligible applicants:
• One incentive or concession for projects that include 10 percent of the total units for lower-income households, at least 5 percent for very low-income households, or at least 10 percent for persons and families of moderate income in a common interest development. • Two incentives or concessions for projects that include at least 20 percent of the total units for lower income households, at least 10 percent for very low-income households, or at least 20 percent for persons and families of moderate income in a common interest development.
Attachment 1
City of Coronado Page 255

Section 3. Housing Constraints Page 3-20
• Three incentives or concessions for projects that include at least 30 percent of the total units for lower income households, at least 15 percent for very low-income households, or at least 30 percent for persons and families with moderate income in a common interest development.
The City has included the following programs in Section 8: Housing Plan to address the provision of concessions and incentives:
• Program H-1.B. Technical Assistance to Developers
o Developing and posting an overview of the available incentives/concessions for developers on the City’s website with updates performed on an annual basis. o Advising developers on how to maximize density bonus and/or seek waivers and concessions under State density bonus regulations.
o Conducting an annual outreach meeting with housing developers each year to discuss sites identified in the Housing Element sites inventory that are available, density bonuses, and other incentives.
• Program H-2.I. Advertise Available Resources
o Address funding, state laws, and City incentives to encourage housing production as a part of the annual outreach meeting described in Program H-1.B.
• Program H-2.K. Amend Density Bonus Ordinance
o Review legislative changes by March 1 of each year, starting in 2025, to determine if the Density Bonus Ordinance needs to be updated to reflect changes in State law. • Program H-2.L. Housing Choices
o ADUs – Under Program H-1.A. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), the City will encourage the creation of approximately 195 ADUs through a variety of incentives including waiving fees and eliminating parking requirements.
o Carriage Houses – Under Program H-4.A. Carriage House Program, the City will encourage the conversion of 103 Carriage Houses across varying income levels through a variety of incentives waiving fees and eliminating parking requirements.
• Program H-3-A. Assistance to Extremely Low-Income Households o Assistance to Developers: Emphasize funding for housing developments affordable to extremely low-income households and feasible incentives and regulatory concessions to encourage the development of different housing types (including multifamily and single-room occupancy projects).
o Technical Assistance: Provide technical assistance to developers regarding the City’s lower-income sites, funding opportunities, as well as housing overlays on commercial properties that allow for mixed-use development on some sites and density bonus incentives (make the availability for technical assistance known to developers at the outreach meeting referenced above). • Program H-3.B: Housing Opportunities for Persons with Special Needs o Reduced parking for studio and one-bedroom units with affordable multifamily projects (considered on a case-by-case basis);
o Waive covered parking requirements for affordable developments; o Opportunity for deferred or reduced fees for affordable units (beyond inclusionary housing requirements), and
o Development impact fee waivers for 100% affordable housing projects.

25. Growth Management Measures
Growth management measures are techniques used by a government to regulate the rate, amount, and type of development. The City does not have any growth management measures in place that would impede the development of housing.
26. Inclusionary Housing Policy
The City of Coronado has an Inclusionary Housing Program. Residential developers of projects with two or more units must incorporate affordable housing into their projects or pay an in-lieu fee. The development must set aside 20 percent of the units in each project as affordable or pay an in-lieu fee of $7,000 per market-rate dwelling unit.
Revenues from this in-lieu fee, plus interest earned on these funds, are placed into an Affordable Housing Special Revenue Fund. The Affordable Housing Fund could be leveraged with other funding sources.
With limited development capacity and the focus of any new construction activity on redevelopment and improvement of existing properties, the City has found limited capacity to generate significant units due to the relatively limited growth opportunities in the City. The City does not believe the inclusionary policy is a hindrance to new development activity. The City will be seeking to increase the in-lieu fee under Program H-2.B. Local Funding for Affordable Housing found in Section 8: Housing Plan. The City will continue to monitor this policy, among other housing related policies, under Program H-5.C. Availability of Housing Related Policies and Regulations found in Section 8: Housing Plan.
27. Specific Plans
Orange Avenue Corridor Specific Plan
The Orange Avenue Corridor Specific Plan was adopted on November 4, 2003, and amended four times with the most recent amendment in April 2014. The Specific Plan does not have an expiration date. The Orange Avenue Corridor Specific Plan is primarily comprised of the Orange Avenue corridor between First Street and Adella Avenue.
This area includes the Downtown and Uptown commercial areas, as well as multi-family residential, civic center, and open space. The specific plan intends to guide and regulate development in to maintain Coronado’s “village” character.
Residential development is regulated by the specific plan to provide for high-quality, multiple-family dwelling unit structures in an intensely developed residential environment with a minimum of 1,090 square feet of land area per dwelling unit and a 3,500 square foot lot or building site. Development is restricted to 40 dwelling units per acre.
Housing within the specific plan area primarily includes for-sale condominiums and rental properties in multi-family configurations; existing single-family detached units also exist. The following residential uses are permitted:
• Multiple dwelling structures on a minimum of 3,500 sq. ft. lot or building site. • Single-family dwelling buildings or duplexes of a permanent character, permanently located on a minimum 3,500 sq. ft. lot or building site.
• Residential care facility, supportive housing, and transitional housing. • Mixed-use developments with residential above commercial uses are prohibited.
Coronado Cays Specific Plan
The Coronado Cays is a planned residential community on the Silver Strand in the Southerly portion of Coronado and is surrounded by a bay and State beach. The Specific Plan was adopted in 2001 and details land use and development regulations. The Specific Plan permits multiple-family, townhouse, and detached single-family residential construction. Residential development is restricted to an average density for the total project of 10.89 dwelling units per acre. Municipal Code Title 90 provides the provisions, zoning districts, and standards for the Specific Plan area. It is important to note that no Opportunity or Pipeline Sites are within this specific plan area.

Section 3. Housing Constraints Page 3-22
28. Housing for Persons with Disabilities and other Special Needs Both the Federal Fair Housing Amendment Act (FHAA) and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act require governments to make reasonable accommodations (that is, modifications or exceptions) in their zoning laws and other land use regulations to afford disabled persons an equal opportunity to housing. State law also requires cities to analyze potential and actual constraints to the development, maintenance, and improvement of housing for persons with disabilities.
The Housing Element Update must also include programs that remove constraints or provide reasonable accommodations for housing designed for persons with disabilities. The analysis of constraints must touch upon each of three general categories: 1) zoning/land use; 2) permit and processing procedures; and 3) building codes and other factors, including design, location, and discrimination, which could limit the availability of housing for disabled persons. The City has included Program H-3.B. Housing Opportunities for Persons with Special Needs to address constraints in the development, maintenance, and improvement of housing for persons with disabilities.
29. Reasonable Accommodation
Reasonable accommodation in the land use and zoning context means providing individuals with disabilities or developers of housing for people with disabilities, flexibility in the application of land use, zoning and building regulations, policies, practices, and procedures, or even waiving certain requirements, when it is necessary to eliminate barriers to housing opportunities. For example, it may be reasonable to accommodate requests from persons with disabilities to waive a setback requirement or other standard of the Zoning Code to ensure that homes are accessible for the mobility impaired. Whether a particular modification is reasonable depends on the circumstances. The Building Official or decision-making body may grant the requested accommodation or grant it with modifications if all of the following findings can be made:
• The housing which is the subject of the request will be used by an individual or a group of individuals considered disabled under the Acts;
• The accommodation requested is reasonable and necessary to make specific housing available to the individual or group of individuals with disability or disabilities under the Acts; • The requested reasonable accommodation would not impose an undue financial or administrative burden on the City; and
• The requested reasonable accommodation would not require a fundamental alteration like a City program or law including, but not limited to, land use and zoning.
The following criteria, among other factors, may be considered by the decision-making body or Building Official regarding the reasonableness of the requested accommodation:
• Whether there are alternative reasonable accommodations available that would provide an equivalent level of benefit; and
• Whether the requested reasonable accommodation substantially affects the physical attributes of the property or has impacts on surrounding properties that would fundamentally alter a City program or law.
Based on these policies, the City has not denied any reasonable accommodation requests made by the public. The City has evaluated various special needs programs for effectiveness and the cumulative impact of these programs and policies. Because much of the City’s involvement and support of these programs is mainly through local regulatory support and referral to a variety of County programs, the City generally feels the cumulative impact of the implementation of various programs and policies meet the needs of its current population. The City has also augmented the policy program to provide various programs that support and further address the needs of a variety of special needs populations.

30. Development Application Fees
Residential developers are subject to a variety of fees and exactions to process permits and provide necessary services and facilities as allowed by State law. In general, these development fees can be a constraint to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing because the additional cost borne by developers contributes to overall increased housing unit costs. However, the fees (as provided in Table 3-9) are necessary to maintain adequate planning services and other public services and facilities in the City. These fees have not been found to function as a constraint to the development of housing in Coronado.

School Impact Fee - Residential >= 500 sq. ft.
(school district fee collected by the City) $2.48 per sq. ft. of net increase of floor area Source: City of Coronado Development Permit Information (7/18/2018) The development fees associated with each project are dependent on the housing type, density, intensity of use, and location. In addition to these direct fees, the total cost of development is contingent on the project meeting the City’s policies and standards, as well as the project applicant submitting the necessary documents and plans promptly.
The estimated total development and impact fees for a typical single-family residential project, assuming it is not part of a subdivision and is consistent with existing city policies and regulations, can range from $9,800 to $12,900.
Estimated total development and impact fees for a typical multi-family residential project with ten units, assuming it is consistent with existing city policies and regulations range from $12,200 to $17,250.
The estimated fees for single-family residential projects were calculated based on the following approved projects in Coronado:
• 667 Ocean NC2006-001 -2,118 sf : $12,879.20
• 633 Adella ln NC2003-001 – 2,668 sf: $,9816.64
• 161 Alder St NC2002-001 – 3,430 sf: $11,592.20
The estimated fees for multi-family residential projects were calculated based on the following approved projects in Coronado:
• 434 Orange Avenue NC1907-004 – 8,522 sf: $12,229.79
• 1014 5th St NC1609-004 – 8,650 sf: $17,231.9
• 1115 9th St NC1706-002 – 11,977 sf: $14,753.61
These estimates are illustrative and actual costs are contingent upon unique circumstances inherent in individual development project applications. Considering the cost of land in Coronado, and the International Code Council (ICC) estimates for the cost of labor and materials, the combined costs of permits and fees are approximately less than one percent of the direct cost of development for single-family residential projects and for a multi-family residential project. Direct costs do not include landscaping, connection fees, on/off-site improvements, shell construction, or amenities. Therefore, the percentage of development and impact fees charged by the City may be an even smaller percentage if all direct and indirect costs are included.
While fees have not been found to ultimately function as a constraint to the development of housing in Coronado, the City will implement the following programs to utilize the waiver of fees as an incentive to further the development of affordable housing.
• Program H-1.A. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) - Expanding/extending fee waivers for ADUs beyond State law.
• Program H-1.B. Technical Assistance to Developers
• Program H-3.B. Housing Opportunities for Person with Special Needs - including Development impact fee waivers for 100% affordable housing projects.
• Program H-5.C. Availability of Housing Related Policies and Regulations
31. Affordable Housing Assistance/In-Lieu Fees
The City of Coronado Subdivision Code Chapter 82.21 establishes affordable housing requirements and in-lieu fees.
The Code states that as a condition of approval of any tentative parcel map or tentative subdivision map for residential dwellings, condominiums, community apartments, stock cooperatives, or conversions comprising two or more lots or two or more dwelling units, the subdivider shall reserve 20 percent of the units for rent to low-income Attachment 1
City of Coronado Page 262
City of Coronado
2021-2029 Housing Element
Section 3. Housing Constraints Page 3-27
and very low-income households or sale to moderate-income households. The subdivider may instead choose to pay in lieu fees for every unit within the project to provide affordable housing.
In Lieu fees are added to the affordable housing fund which is used to provide funding assistance for the provision of new affordable housing units within the City. As of October 2023, in lieu fees are established at $7,000 per unit.
The City will be seeking to increase the in-lieu fee under H-2.B. Local Funding for Affordable Housing found in Section 8: Housing Plan.
32. On-/Off-Site Improvements
Site improvements in the City consist of those typically associated with development for on-site improvements (street frontage improvements, curbs, gutters, sewer/water, and sidewalks), and off-site improvements caused by project impacts (drainage, parks, traffic, schools, and sewer/water). Because residential development cannot take place without the addition of adequate infrastructure, site improvement requirements are considered a regular component of the development of housing within the City and may also influence the sale or rental price of housing.
The majority of costs associated with on and off-site improvements are undertaken by the City and recovered in the City’s development and impact fees. As analyzed above, the fees do not create a substantial burden on the overall cost of development or an impediment to the development of housing.
33. Building Codes and Enforcement
The City of Coronado’s construction codes are based upon the California Code of Regulations, Title 24 that includes the California Administrative Code, Building Code, Residential Code, Electrical Code, Mechanical Code, Plumbing Code, Energy Code, Historical Building Code, Fire Code, Existing Building Code, Green Building Standards Code, and California Referenced Standards Code. These are considered to be the minimum necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare of the City’s residents. In compliance with State law, the California Building Standards Code is revised and updated every three (3) years. The newest edition of the California Building Standards Code is the 2022 edition with an effective date of January 1, 2023.
The Coronado Code Enforcement program helps maintain the quality of life for residents by assisting property owners with code violations and educating the public on the requirements of the Municipal Code. The Code Enforcement Division responds to written complaints and relies on voluntary non-judicial compliance. The City has not made any building code or code enforcement amendments in the past 8 years that directly affect or potentially hinder the development of housing in Coronado. No substandard structures have been observed and/or reported to the City Code Enforcement staff.
34. Local Processing and Permit Procedures
The development community commonly cites the permit processing time as a contributor to the high cost of housing.
Depending on the magnitude and complexity of the development proposal, the time that elapses from application submittal to project approval may vary considerably. Factors that can affect the length of development review on a proposed project include the completeness of the development application and the responsiveness of developers to staff comments and requests for information. Approval times are substantially lengthened for projects that are not exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), require rezoning or general plan amendments, or encounter community opposition. Applicants for all permits or reviews are recommended to request a preapplication meeting with the respective department to:
• Confirm City requirements as they apply to the proposed project; • Review the City’s review process, possible project alternatives or revisions; and • Identify information and materials the City will require with the application, and any necessary technical studies and information relating to the environmental review of the project.
Attachment 1

Section 3. Housing Constraints Page 3-28
All permit applications are first reviewed by City Staff for completeness, and discretionary applications must then receive a recommendation through a staff report before a review by the appropriate authority. Various applications may also require public noticing and a public hearing. Table 3-12 below identifies the appropriate review process for each planning permit application.

The following programs found in Section 8: Housing Plan are targeted to providing technical assistance for developers and streamlining the housing process.
• Program H-1.B. Technical Assistance to Developers
o Developing and posting an overview of the available incentives/concessions for developers on the City’s website with updates performed on an annual basis. o Prioritizing developer projects that include affordable units over other development applications.
o Advising developers on how to maximize density bonus and/or seek waivers and concessions under State density bonus regulations.
o Dedicating staff to assist with affordable housing entitlement, permit, and fee processes and offering preapplication meetings upon request.
o Conducting an annual outreach meeting with housing developers each year to discuss sites identified in the Housing Element sites inventory that are available, density bonuses, and other incentives.
• Program H-2.H. Assist with the Development of Affordable Housing - Provide technical assistance to affordable housing developers in their applications for State and Federal funding. • Program H-3.A. Assistance to Extremely Low-Income Households- Technical Assistance: Provide technical assistance to developers regarding the City’s lower-income sites. • Program H-2.J. Faith Based Properties- Streamline affordable housing development on properties owned by religious organizations.
• Program H-5.A. Streamline Processes
o Provide priority streamlining for all projects that include affordable units. o Educate the public and developers on how to complete the development approval process and otherwise facilitate building permit and development plan processing for residential construction.
o Continue to provide development process handouts at the City Hall Community Development Department counter.
35. Single Family Dwellings
Permitted by right and only needs a building permit. Applicants can voluntarily choose to go before the City’s Design Review Commission for an increase in FAR but are not required to. Building permit applications are typically responded to within two weeks, both for initial submittals as well as resubmittals. Once a permit has been issued it can typically take 8-15 months to complete construction and obtain a Certificate of Occupancy for a new construction dwelling.

Section 3. Housing Constraints Page 3-29
36. Multi-Family Dwellings
Permitted by right but are required to obtain Design Review Commission approval before a building permit can be issued. Typical Design Review applications are heard within 3 weeks of submitting a complete application with a 10- day appeal period before a building permit can be issued. Once a permit has been issued it can typically take 12-30 months to complete construction and obtain a Certificate of Occupancy.
37. Design Review Process
The design review procedure effectively upholds the City’s distinctive character and atmosphere without mandating a specific architectural style or demanding exceptional materials. The submission of materials boards and colored elevations is obligatory, but these conditions are standard in the project approval process. Colored elevations aid in comprehending how the project integrates into the nearby surroundings. Comparable to site plan review, design review streamlines the issuance of building permits, assures harmonious development that enhances the attractiveness of the urban environment, and incorporates an additional layer of community endorsement for discretionary projects.
The process for Design Review is outlined in Section 80.00.040 of the Coronado Municipal Code and as follows. The following items must be submitted to the Community Development Department:
• An application for design review on forms prescribed by the Community Development Department and accompanied by the required fees established by City Council resolution. • Nine copies of each of the following:
o Plot plan drawn to a scale of not less than one-eighth inch equals one-foot showing dimensions and size of each lot to be built upon or otherwise used; the size, shape, and location of existing and proposed buildings; and the location and layout of parking areas, parking spaces, and driveways. o A landscaping plan including the location of proposed plantings and screenings and the proposed location of fences, signs, and advertising structures. The Director of the Community Development Department may, at his discretion, waive this requirement when such applications as required in subsection (A)(1) of this section apply to other such minor changes where the submission of landscape plans would not, in his opinion, assist in describing the proposed change. o Exterior elevations of all sides of proposed new buildings and additions to existing buildings; exterior elevations of proposed remodeling or face lifting. In the case of additions to existing buildings, exterior elevations of both the addition and the existing building are required. o Exterior color samples.
o Such other information, drawings, plans, material samples, models, or renderings that may be required by the Community Development Department to assist the Commission in arriving at a decision. The use of color renderings and photographs is encouraged.

• The Community Development Department advises the applicant in writing of the time, date, and place of the Commission’s consideration of the application, or appeal to the Planning Commission, and the final disposition thereof.
• The decision of the Design Review Commission is final unless appealed, and the decision of the Planning Commission on whether an application is complete is final.
The required processes for design review for all multifamily developments are in place to ensure the quality, conformity, and adequacy of multifamily development in Coronado. The City promotes development certainty and mitigates cost impact by providing clear and concise design review requirements for multifamily projects (as outlined in Section 80.00.090 of the Coronado Municipal Code). The requirements are as follows:
• Evaluation of the appearance of a project is based on the quality of its design and its relationship to its surroundings. Inappropriate, incompatible, bizarre, and exotic designs shall be avoided. • Buildings must have good scale and be in harmonious conformance with permanent neighboring development.
• Materials must have good architectural character, be of durable quality, and be selected for the harmony of the building with surrounding buildings. In any design in which the structural frame is exposed to view, the structural materials must meet the other criteria for materials. • New building components, such as windows, doors, eaves, and parapets, are required to have good proportions and relationship to one another.
• Colors must be harmonious.
• Mechanical equipment or other utility hardware on the roof, ground, or buildings will be screened from public view with materials harmonious with the building, or they cannot be visible from any public ways. • Exterior lighting will be part of the architectural concept. Fixtures, standards, and all exposed accessories shall be harmonious with the building design.
• Refuse and waste removal areas, service yards, storage yards, and exterior work areas must be screened from view from public ways, using materials as stated in the criteria for equipment screening. • Monotony of design in single- or multiple-building projects should be avoided. Variations of detail, form, and siting must be used to provide visual interest. In multiple-building projects, variable siting or individual buildings may be used to prevent a monotonous appearance.
Design review is not required for the following:
The City provides clarity to applicants in meeting the design review requirements through the:
• Design Review Commission – a five-member volunteer board appointed by the City Council whose appointed task is to “...achieve a beautiful, pleasant, principally residential community by fostering and encouraging good design, harmonious colors and materials, good proportional relationships and generous landscaping, and to protect the health, safety, comfort, and general welfare of the citizens of Coronado by providing for a design review process ... “ (CMC 80.00.010). The Commission reviews all matters referred to the Design Review Commission by the Planning Commission or City Council as well as projects requiring approval by the Commission. For projects found to be out of compliance with design review requirements, the Commission provides guidance and direction to help these projects meet compliance. • Design Review webpage on the City’s website – The webpage provides information on general procedures related to the design review process as well as links to application forms, informational documents, the General Plan’s “Community Design Element,” Municipal Code, Specific Plans, appeals process, and fee schedule.
• General Plan “Community Design Element” – Design guidelines and regulations are provided in this City document, accessible via the City’s Planning and Zoning webpage.

Section 3. Housing Constraints Page 3-31
While the subjective nature of the design review standards may create additional constraints to the development of multifamily housing, specifically housing affordable to low and very low-income households, the City does not have a record of denying projects that come through design review. From 2015-2020, only one project was denied due to design review processes, in which the applicant appealed, and the project was approved by the City Council.
Therefore, the City’s design review process is not considered an impediment to the development of housing.
38. Senate Bills 35 and 423
California Senate Bill 35 (SB 35), codified in Government Code Section 65913.41 became effective January 1, 2018, and will sunset on January 1, 2026 (Section 65913.4(m)). However, SB 423, passed by the California Legislature in September 2023 and awaiting the Governor’s signature, would extend the expiration to 2036, apply to property within the California Coastal Zone (beginning January 1, 2025) and apply to jurisdiction without a certified housing element among other requirements. The intent of both SB 35 and 423 is to expedite and facilitate the construction of affordable housing. SB 35 and 423 apply to cities and counties that have not made sufficient progress toward meeting their affordable housing goals for above moderate- and lower-income levels as mandated by the State. To meet the affordable housing goals, SB 35 and 423 require cities and counties to streamline the review and approval of certain qualifying affordable housing projects through a ministerial process. The City of Coronado is one of 238 cities that has insufficient progress towards their Lower Income RHNA and is therefore currently subject to the streamlined ministerial approval process for proposed developments with at least 50% affordability. However, the City is committed to continue processing applications and permits promptly.
39. Military Land
Located within the City of Coronado are the Naval Base Coronado’s (NBC) Naval Amphibious Base, Naval Air Station North Island Base, and the Silver Strand Training Complex. The facilities make up approximately 67% of Coronado land area and include the main base, training beaches, California’s least tern preserve, recreational marina, enlisted family housing, and a state park. The NBC’s land is owned by the Federal Government. The City has included Program H-1.E. Track Navy Housing Development in Section 8: Housing Plan to address the use of military-owned lands to accommodate the City’s RHNA allocation.

Section 3. Housing Constraints Page 3-32
C. Infrastructure Constraints
Another factor that could constrain new residential construction is the requirement and cost to provide adequate infrastructure (major and local streets; water and sewer lines; and street lighting) needed to serve new residential development. In most cases, where new infrastructure is required, it is funded by the developer and then dedicated to the City, which is then responsible for its maintenance. Because the cost of these facilities is generally borne by developers, it increases the cost of new construction, with much of that increased cost often “passed on” as part of home rental or sales rates. However, such infrastructure costs do not represent a barrier in Coronado because as a built-out community, Coronado’s infrastructure is built out and in place. Therefore, the high development costs often associated with installing infrastructure systems in other communities are not found in Coronado.
1. Electricity and Natural Gas
The City of Coronado receives gas and electricity services from the San Diego Gas and Electric Company (SDG&E).
The service provider committed to increased sustainability methods in 2020 to ensure reliable service is available to all communities. Approximately 40% of the electricity SDG&E provides comes from renewable sources, such as solar and wind – exceeding California’s mandate to have 33% renewable energy by 2020.
In the last quarter of 2020, SDG&E served an average of 8,285 residential customers for electricity services with an average total of 5,688,560 Watthour (Wh) and 685 Wh per customer. Similarly, in the same quarter, SDG&E provided gas services to an average of 6,270 residential customers, providing an average total of 252,589 Therms and 40.3 Therms per customer. SDG&E has adequate capacity to provide utility service to increased residential customers, specifically, 912 additional households over the 2021-2029 planning period.
2. Water Supply and Wastewater Capacity
Among the municipal services that the City of Coronado provides are the functions of water, wastewater, and clean water (stormwater pollution prevention).
Water Supply
The Coronado Water system is served by treated surface water purchased from the City of San Diego. The City of San Diego receives around 90 percent of its raw surface water from the San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA), the remaining water is supplied by local reserves. The SDCWA receives the majority of its water supply from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWDSC), which has two main water sources: the Colorado River and the Sacramento River Delta.
The City of San Diego has three water treatment plants that treat its available raw water supplies. The Coronado System receives its drinking water from only two of the City’s three water treatment plants (WTPs): Alvarado and Otay.4 California American Water (CAW) is the service provider for the City of Coronado; CAW provides water services to more than 690,000 people nationwide. The CAW serves an average of 80 million gallons per day (MGD) to the San Diego Region. CAW’s services can accommodate an increased growth of 912 housing units over the 2021 to 2029 planning period.
Sewer Area and Sewer System
The City of Coronado is located on a peninsula on the western side of San Diego Bay. The City serves a population of approximately 26,500 customers within a 13.5 square mile area. The City’s wastewater collection system consists of approximately 45 miles of gravity and pressurized pipelines, approximately 750 manholes, and sixteen (16) pump stations. On average, the City, which is considered built-out, transfers approximately 3.2 million gallons per day (MGD) of sewage, including sewage flows from the Naval Amphibious Base (NAB) and the Naval Air Station North 4 2019 Annual Water Quality Report, Coronado, California American Water.

Island (NASNI). Although NAB and NASNI own and operate independent sewage facilities, they contract with the City to convey the flows through the City’s system to the Transbay Pump Station from where it is pumped to the City of San Diego’s Metropolitan wastewater collection system and conveyed to the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant.5
The goal of the City is to provide safe, effective, and efficient operation of the City’s wastewater collection and conveyance system through:
• Proper management, operation, and maintenance of all parts of the system; • Reduced occurrences of, and potential for, SSOs;
• An effective Fats, Oils, and Grease Control Program;
• Assurance of adequate capacity to convey peak wastewater flows; • A current long-range planning and improvement plan;
• Compliance with all regulatory requirements;
• Protection of the public’s health and safety;
• Effective public information and education efforts; and • Protection of the environment.
3. Operations and Maintenance
The City is committed to a regular sanitary sewer system maintenance program. To minimize and prevent system blockages and preserve and extend the useful life of the sanitary sewer system, the City’s Preventive Maintenance Program primarily includes scheduled maintenance of wastewater facilities including sewer pump stations and wet wells, and the routine cleaning of the wastewater collection system pipelines.
4. Stormwater Management
The Storm Water Division is responsible for implementing and enforcing the National Pollution Distribution Elimination System (NPDES) and monitoring the City’s stormwater. The division operates and maintains specific policies and procedures designed to improve water quality within the City. Several key components of Coronado’s program include:
• Development Construction Project Review/Approval - Storm Water related; • Structural maintenance (storm drain line cleaning, storm pump stations, nuisance, and first rain flush diverter cleaning and inspection, and video inspection); • Water quality monitoring;
• Street Sweeping;
• Commercial business inspections (gas stations and restaurants, etc.); • Construction site inspections (perimeter control, material storage, discharges, general housekeeping); • Municipal site inspections;
• Special investigations (illicit connections, illegal discharges, irrigation runoff); • Education (municipal staff, residents, contractors, and businesses); • Public Participation (beach and bay clean-ups); and
• Monitoring of residential areas (irrigation runoff, prohibited discharges). 5 City of Coronado, Sewer System Management Plan, 2009.

5. Fire and Emergency Services
The City of Coronado’s Fire Department’s mission is to maintain a highly trained, professional organization providing excellent service to our community, region, state, and each other through duty, honor, respect, and family. The purpose of the department is to accomplish the following goals:
• To ensure fiscal responsibility while delivering the highest level of customer service possible. • To foster and maintain an atmosphere of mutual cooperation throughout the community. • To eliminate future fire hazards and ensure access and firefighting capabilities through planning, code enforcement, and plan checks.
• To respond quickly to and extinguish fires to minimize the loss of life, damage to property, and economic impact upon the community.
• To provide the best available emergency medical support and transport system to the residents and visitors of Coronado.
• To ensure that the City and its residents are prepared to effectively respond to major disasters by providing information and education in the areas of fire safety and emergency preparedness. • To provide prompt and courteous responses to public calls for service and fire hazard complaints. • To provide assistance and rescue operations to swimmers and boaters in the ocean and bay. Provide beach visitors with safety information related to beach and surf conditions.
The department achieves these goals through fire administration, operations and training, Emergency Medical Services, fire prevention and public education, and emergency preparedness.
6. Fire Division
The Fire Prevention and Education program is responsible for enforcing rules and regulations for the prevention/control of fires and fire hazards and for enforcing laws and codes governing the use, handling, transportation, and disposal of hazardous materials. The program oversees the investigation of incidents to determine the cause, origin, and circumstances involving fires and unauthorized releases of hazardous materials.
This program is also responsible for educating the public in Fire Prevention awareness, and Life and Fire Safety.
The Operations program is responsible for the application and oversight of all hazardous service delivery to the community for both emergency and non-emergency activities. The Department maintains two fire stations, located at 1001 6th Street (Fire Station 36) and 101 Grand Caribe Causeway (Fire Station 37). Each station is staffed with a Chief, one engineer, and at least two firefighters/paramedics. The stationsrespond and provide life-safety protection throughout the City. The City maintains one truck company, one engine company, and a paramedic emergency transport unit led by a Battalion Chief, completing the 24-hour emergency response capabilities. Additionally, the department participates in a robust mutual aid system in the region to ensure the response of additional resources as needed.
In 2019 the Department conducted 357 inspections, responded to 1,646 rescue and/or emergency medical incidents, and a total of 2,255 incidents. The Department is strategically employed and serves the entirety of the community, and additional housing within the City would not pose a constraint on the existing fire services.
7. Emergency Medical Services
The Coronado Fire Department employs trained paramedics and firefighters who are cross trained to ensure they can handle a variety of emergencies. There are currently 19 paramedics in the Fire Department. They operate out of the main fire station on Sixth Street and the fire station in the Cays. Paramedic training includes Advanced Life Support (ALS) training, which enables them to provide lifesaving care on-site, including initial treatment for heart attacks and medication administration. Each paramedic in the department is also a trained firefighter, which enables them to assist in any emergency situation.
Attachment 1
City of Coronado Page 270
City of Coronado
2021-2029 Housing Element
Section 3. Housing Constraints Page 3-35
As each paramedic is also trained to fight fires, each firefighter is an emergency medical technician (EMT). EMTs are trained in basic life support. The goal of EMTs is to quickly evaluate a patient’s condition and to maintain a patient’s breathing and circulation, control external bleeding, prevent shock, and prevent further injury by immobilizing potential spinal or bone fractures.
8. Beach Lifeguards
The Coronado Lifeguard Services operates under the City’s Fire Department. Coronado Lifeguard staff are certified by the United States Lifesaving Association (USLA) as an “Advanced Lifeguard Agency” in national training and equipment standards. The Lifeguard Services faction handles several community organizations, such as the City’s Jr.
Lifeguard Program, and routinely monitors water quality in Coronado. The Lifeguard Department employs one Lifeguard Captain, two Lifeguard Sergeants, and four Beach lifeguards who monitor beach safety and emergencies.
9. Disaster Preparedness
The Disaster Preparedness Division educates and prepares City staff and the community for major emergencies and disasters. The Division maintains the City’s Emergency Operations Plan and hazard-specific annexes, as well as ensures City employees receive basic training as emergency response workers.
The City of Coronado’s Fire and Emergency Services are provided strategically within the built-out coastal community. The creation of additional housing during the 6th Planning Cycle would affect density, population, and traffic; however, there is adequate time for emergency services to respond to changing service demands. The future development of additional housing or increased densities in the City would not cause an increased burden on the City’s Fire Department that could not be addressed during the planning cycle.
10. Police Services
The City of Coronado’s Police Department’s mission is to provide superior public safety services to enhance the quality of life for the community. Members of the Coronado Police Department are dedicated to accomplishing this mission by maintaining public peace and order through fair and impartial enforcement of law and superior police service, fostering an environment of cooperation and trust within our organization and the community, conducting public business efficiently and effectively, challenging the future with a spirit of optimism and innovation, and valuing their employees as their most important resource. The department employs 67 paid staff and uses 40 civilian volunteers for the Senior Volunteer Patrol agency.
The Chief of Police is responsible for administering and managing the Coronado Police Department. There are two divisions in the Police Department as follows:
• Support Services - The Support Services Division consists of the Investigations Unit, Community Relations & Training, Finance, Dispatch, Records, Professional Standards, Facility Management, School Resource Officers, and the Senior Volunteer Program.
• Field Services - The Field Services Division consists of Uniformed Patrol and Traffic, Parking, Animal Services, and Special Events.
The City of Coronado’s Police Services are provided strategically within the built-out coastal community. It is not anticipated that any new police facilities would be required as a result of development on housing sites facilitated by the Housing Element. Therefore, this does not place a constraint on development. In fact, the current Police station in the City is one of the identified Opportunity Sites that would involve redeveloping the property to include housing units.

D. Environmental Constraints
Due to its geographic location, the City of Coronado is susceptible to a variety of both man-made and natural disasters and emergencies. Emergencies may occur individually or in combination with others. They may vary in degree of predictability, suddenness, and severity. Like most Southern California coastal cities, Coronado is at high risk of drought, earthquakes, seiches, tsunamis, flooding, and severe storm conditions.6 The City lists the following goals for disaster preparedness:
• Maintenance of a timely, well-prepared, and well-coordinated response plan that will minimize potential damage to life, property, and the environment, resulting from natural and man-made disasters. • Centralized emergency and disaster preparedness management that provides for clear authority, direction, and communication during emergencies and disasters.
• An informed community that knows how it could be affected by a disaster and is motivated to learn how to prepare for one.
• A prepared community and trained emergency management team that can work together during disaster operations for safe and effective response and recovery.
Below are the types of natural disasters that may affect the community of Coronado as well as may create a constraint to the development of housing within the City.
1. Geologic and Seismic Hazards
Earthquakes have long been viewed as a significant hazard in California, though San Diego has historically been considered a lower-risk area.
7 Faults, Landslides, earthquakes, and land subsidence are examples of geologic hazards that could endanger a community, all of which can pose threats to life and property. Geologic faults determine and impact many other geologic hazards that may affect Coronado. Ground failures such as liquefaction, lateral spreading, differential settlement, and subsidence are additional possible hazards for Coronado. In particular, earthquake-triggered differential settlement or lateral spreading due to liquefaction can be expected in areas of hydraulic fill along the margins of San Diego Bay.
According to the San Diego Earthquake Planning Scenario Report, produced in 2020, excavations along Morena Boulevard (Rockwell et al. 1991) uncovered evidence of a series of major historic ruptures along the Rose Canyon Fault Zone (RCFZ) in the Holocene Period. These findings, historic seismicity, and geomorphic features led the California Geologic Survey (CGS) to declare the fault zone active and to establish Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zones from La Jolla south and in downtown San Diego. The same report noted that the RCFZ consists of a system of crustal, right-lateral, strike-slip faults and diverging strands that pass under the airport, Seaport Village, Convention Center, and Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal areas of downtown and cross the San Diego Bay through Coronado and under the Coronado Bridge. Specific risks associated with the RCFZ according to the report’s scenario and methodology can be found on pages 13 to 25. Additional geologic and seismic hazards are detailed in Section K of the City’s General Plan.
Coronado recently adopted the 2022 California Building Code to ensure compliance with state requirements and the City’s Community Development Department, in its review of applications for building permits, follows the “Recommended Lateral Force Requirements and Commentary’’ prepared by the Structural Engineers Association of California to assure the structural integrity of buildings. Additionally, Caltrans retrofitted approximately 270 of the highest-risk state-operated structures in San Diego as a part of a statewide retrofit program, including the Coronado 6 City of Coronado, Disaster Preparedness Element.

Bay Bridge. The City’s Emergency Management report also identifies the following actions and objectives for mitigating the risks associated with geologic and seismic hazards:
• Develop a comprehensive approach to reducing the possibility of damage and losses due to geological hazards.
o Maintain the quality of infrastructure and construction that exists in fault zones. o Ensure all development in fault zones avoids or withstands geological hazards. • Protect existing assets with the highest relative vulnerability from the effects of geological hazards. o Confirm building standards for new and existing buildings for geological hazards. • Address identified data limitations regarding the lack of information about the relative vulnerability of assets from earthquakes (e.g., data on structure/building types, reinforcements, etc.).
While geologic and seismic hazards are present in the City, proper mitigation, and action are taken by the City to reduce risks associated with such hazards, therefore, they are not considered a constraint to the development of housing within the City.
2. Flooding
Flooding in the City of Coronado is associated with its proximity to the ocean. Because of its location between the Pacific Ocean and San Diego Bay, and its low topography, Coronado is susceptible to damage from tsunamis and seiches. Tsunamis, or seismic sea waves, are oceanic waves that are generated by earthquakes, submarine, or shoreline volcanic eruptions, large submarine, or shoreline landslides, or even meteorites. Seiches are similar waves in enclosed bodies of water such as bays generated by the same phenomena as tsunamis or by-passing atmospheric disturbances.
According to the City’s Safety Element, the geometry of the area’s coastline, and the region’s sea-floor ridges, canyons, and off-shore islands shield Coronado’s oceanfront from a tsunami generated far off-shore. Seiches are not known to have caused damage beyond San Diego Bay’s shoreline, but the historic record for the San Diego region is too short to be conclusive for either tsunamis or seiches. The Safety Element also designates both shoreline erosion and sea level rise as potential risks for the City of Coronado, and according to the report recommends that coastal planners and engineers use at least the past century’s pace of sea-level rise for planning periods up to about 25 years.
Flooding risks within the City of Coronado are primarily related to sea level rise, tsunamis, and coastal erosion. While these hazards have associated risks, the City has not experienced any. The City’s Emergency Management report identifies the following actions and objectives for mitigating the risks associated with flooding:
• Develop a comprehensive approach to reducing the possibility of damage and losses due to floods. o Investigate methods to enhance survivability in low-lying areas. o Purchase/maintain equipment for water removal in areas prone to flooding. o Maintain infrastructure in known flood areas.
o Continue to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program and review applications for conformance with NFIP standards. Periodically review City compliance with NFIP requirements, as resources become available.
• Coordinate with and support existing efforts to mitigate floods (e.g., US Army Corps of Engineers, US Bureau of Reclamation, California Department of Water Resources). o Make contacts and develop a network during EOC exercises.
3. Fire Hazards
Nearly all cities are at risk for some type of fire hazard, these may include wildfire, urban fires, and fires on the wildland-urban interface. However, due to its geographic location, the City of Coronado’s risk of wildfire is Attachment 1
City of Coronado Page 273
City of Coronado
2021-2029 Housing Element
Section 3. Housing Constraints Page 3-38
significantly reduced. As a nearly developed urban peninsula surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and San Diego Bay, wildfires are of little concern to the community, and “State Responsibility Areas” regulations for reducing pre-fire fuel loads of habitat areas near the development are of no relevance. However, there is some minor, sparse native vegetation on the Silver Strand portion of the peninsula that is susceptible to brush fires, and some of this brush is near Navy housing areas and the Coronado Cays residential development.
According to the City’s Safety Element, the primary fire hazard in Coronado is that of a densely developed urban or suburban area where fire spreads directly from one structure to another nearby one. Therefore, maintaining separation between such structures, requiring fire-resistant construction materials and design, and assuring adequate firefighting access through streets and alleys is of great importance to the community. The City has adopted the most recent California Fire Code.

Section 4: Housing Resources and Opportunities Page 4-1 Section 4: Housing Resources and Opportunities This section of the Housing Element provides an overview of the resources available to the City to meet its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).
A. Regional Housing Needs Allocation
The RHNA Allocation for the City of Coronado and the 6th Cycle Housing Element requires a plan to accommodate the development of 912 new housing units within the projection period (2021 – 2029). The City’s RHNA Allocation split among HUD identified income categories is as follows:
• Very Low Income: 312 units
• Low Income: 169 units
• Moderate-Income: 159 units
• Above-Moderate Income: 272 units
Residential Sites Inventory
Section 7: Adequate Sites Inventory Analysis and Methodology of the Housing Element includes the required site analysis tables and site information for the vacant and non-vacant properties to meet the City’s RHNA need through the 2021-2029 planning period. The following discussions summarize the City’s site inventory and the City’s past experience in redeveloping non-vacant sites.
Above Moderate- and Moderate-Income Sites
The City anticipates that growth to meet the moderate and above moderate-income need will occur through the development of new units, the development of ADUs, and the conversion of Carriage Houses.
Table 4-1 below shows that 183 moderate income and 266 above moderate income primary dwelling units can be accommodated. In addition to primary dwelling units, there is capacity for ADUs and JADUs to be developed on existing residential lots. It is anticipated that an additional 195 total units can be accommodated through the development of ADUs throughout the community during the 6th Cycle (2021-2029), 25 of which have been identified for moderate income households and 53 have been identified for above moderate income households. It is also anticipated that an additional 103 Carriage Houses will be converted to units, with 31 for above moderate income households. Table 4-1 below identifies the total assumptions to accommodate moderate and above moderate housing growth in Coronado.

Section 4: Housing Resources and Opportunities Page 4-2 Reasonable Capacity Assumptions
This section describes the methodology developed to determine the site capacity for the moderate and above moderate-income sites. Reasonable capacity was calculated based on a number of factors including:
• parcel size
• existing zoning requirements
• historical classification of the property
• existing on-site improvements
Due to the primarily developed nature of Coronado’s parcels, additional considerations for capacity included the following:
• Existence of developable areas on the parcel including surface parking lots and landscaped areas • Ownership of the parcel
• Signs of underdevelopment including existing improvement disrepair and existing/potential density misalignment
• Environmental constraints
To further support the capacity calculations, existing non-vacant parcels were analyzed to determine the number of existing units currently on the parcel. Netting out the existing units from the calculated available capacity on parcels with a propensity to be redeveloped yields a reasonable capacity assumption. Replacement of existing units was determined to prevent no net loss of existing housing stock. Calculated available capacity was determined by multiplying the buildable acreage by the maximum density permitted within existing or proposed zoning. The maximum density was determined as appropriate for projections as the City has a history of residential development at or near the maximum allowed density, as evidenced by the following projects:
• R-3 Zoning Designation:
o 846 D Ave
Units under construction/completed: Two (2)
Units allowed on the lot by zoning: Two (2)
o 876 E Avenue
Units under construction/completed: Four (4)
Units allowed on the lot by zoning: Four (4)
• R-4 Zoning Designation:
o 434 Orange Ave
Units under construction/completed: Five (5)
Units allowed on the lot by zoning: Six (6)
o 1014 5th St
Units under construction/completed: Five (5)
Units allowed on the lot by zoning: Six (6)
Development of Non-Vacant Sites and Converting to Residential Uses The City has identified non-vacant sites to accommodate residential development to meet the 6th Cycle RHNA. An Analysis of non-vacant sites, existing use is detailed in Section 7: Adequate Sites Inventory Analysis and Methodology of this Housing Element.
Existing Uses on Identified Candidate Sites
Section 7: Adequate Sites Inventory Analysis and Methodology of this Housing Element details the known existing uses on the candidate housing sites identified to meet the City’s RHNA. For residentially zoned sites, existing residential units were netted out of the potential development yield to ensure that the sites identified had the potential to develop at least one additional dwelling unit.

Section 4: Housing Resources and Opportunities Page 4-3 Accessory Dwelling Units
Pursuant to California Government Code, Section 65583.1, and coordination with HCD, the City will credit a total of 195 units during the 6th Cycle period toward its RHNA requirement through the potential development of accessory dwelling units utilizing Program H-1.A. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) found in Section 8: Housing Plan. As detailed further in this section as well as in Section 7: Adequate Sites Inventory Analysis and Methodology, the City anticipates a total of 195 ADUs to be developed during the 6th Cycle Planning Period, with 25 of these units planned as moderate and 53 planned as above moderate.
Carriage House Conversion
The City has identified 129 Carriage Houses within the City and proposes Program H-4.A. Carriage House Program to provide incentives to add kitchen facilities to at least 80% of the existing permitted carriage houses, or a total of 103 units (essentially converting these units to ADUs that meet the US Census definition of a residential unit), during the 6th cycle to help the City meet their RHNA. Of the 103 units anticipated for conversion, the City has identified 31 as above moderate. Additional discussion of the Carriage House Conversion can be found further in this Section as well as in Section 7: Adequate Sites Inventory Analysis and Methodology.
Sites Suitable for Lower Income Housing
The City of Coronado has a RHNA need of 312 very-low income units and 169 low-income units.
Credits Towards the 2021-2029 RHNA
The 6th Cycle RHNA projection period for Coronado is between April 15, 2021, and April 15, 2029. All development that is currently entitled, and/or under construction, or within the approval process during this period may be counted towards meeting the City’s 6th Cycle RHNA need.
Analysis of the City’s Existing Capacity and Zoning
Table 4-2 below shows the net available capacity on parcels with the ability to be redeveloped during the planning period to accommodate the low and very low income units:

Accessory Dwelling Units 117 units
Carriage Houses 72 units
Total 678 units
Reasonable Capacity Assumptions
In addition to the previously noted (Moderate and Above Moderate Reasonable Capacity Assumptions) consideration for capacity calculation, Low and Very Low-Income sites must meet an additional Sizing Criterion. Per DRAFT Attachment 1
City of Coronado Page 279
City of Coronado
2021-2029 Housing Element
Section 4: Housing Resources and Opportunities Page 4-4 HCD Guidance, sites between 0.5 acres and 10 acres are considered realistic for Low and Very Low-Income development and redevelopment.
The City of Coronado is a built-out community, where parcels smaller than .5 acres are regularly developed for both residential and commercial uses. Reasonable capacity was calculated based on a number of factors including:
• parcel size (0.5 – 10 acres)
• existing zoning requirements
• historical classification of the property
• existing on-site improvements
Development of Multifamily Units
The City also has a history of developing high-density, large-scale multifamily housing units, as evidenced by the following projects:
• Broadstone Apartments:
o Total units: 549
• The Shores Condominiums:
o Total Units: 1,500
Analysis of Non-Vacant Parcels
Coronado does meet the 50% HCD-threshold for accommodating lower income RHNA allocation on vacant land.
A propensity for redevelopment analysis was conducted for all non-vacant parcels that met the criteria for low and very low site, the analysis is detailed in Section 7 of this Housing Element.
Accessory Dwelling Units
One of the proposed methods for meeting the City’s RHNA at all income levels is through the production of accessory dwelling units (ADUs). A number of State Assembly and Senate Bills were passed in 2018 and 2019 that promote development of ADUs and remove barriers that may inhibit their development 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 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 minimum and maximum 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 DRAFT Attachment 1
City of Coronado Page 280
City of Coronado
2021-2029 Housing Element
Section 4: Housing Resources and Opportunities Page 4-5 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 Coronado over the 2021-2029 planning period. Coronado, with a large proportion of single-family residential properties (many on larger lots), is well-oriented for the development of ADUs. As detailed in the Section 8: Housing Plan, the City will implement Program H-1.A: Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) to encourage development of 195 ADUs at very low, low, moderate, and above moderate income levels during the 6th Cycle Planning Period. Specific action to be taken by the City include:
• Adding a dedicated webpage to the City’s housing website that identifies the incentives for ADUs, including affordable ADUs;
• Making print materials available at the Community Development Department Counter; • Waiving parking requirements for ADUs with an extremely low or very low affordability covenant; • Expanding/extending fee waivers for ADUs with a low or moderate affordability covenant beyond State law; and
• Annually monitoring ADU permit approvals and adjusting policies to bolster efforts as needed.
The City anticipates a total of 195 ADUs to be developed during the 6th Cycle Planning Period.
Accessory Dwelling Unit Capacity Calculations
Taking the average ADU development from 2018-2020 and extrapolating for the 8-year planning period is a strategy endorsed by HCD. Additionally, to facilitate the development of ADUs available for lower income households, the City has developed relevant policies and programs (see Section 4). For the purposes of this projection exercise, the City assumes a percentage of ADUs develop affordably based on ADU Affordability Assumptions produced by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). SCAG conducted analysis that consisted of the following steps:
• Calculating maximum rent limits for RHNA income categories for one-person and two person households by county
• Conduct survey of rents for ADUs in the SCAG region
• Use survey data to determine proportion of ADUs within each income category • Create assumption of how many persons will occupy each ADU, finalize proportions Although SANDAG has not conducted the same analysis, the City utilized similar institutional and local anecdotal evidence in conjunction with guidance provided by State HCD, to project that 60% of the 195 projected ADUs will be available at lower income leasing rates. This equates to 117 ADUs.
Carriage Houses One of the City’s proposed methods for meeting the City’s RHNA at all income levels is through the conversion of existing Carriage Houses. Carriage Houses are small apartments above a detached garage. Carriage Houses are very similar to ADUs with the exception that they do not feature kitchen facilities. In order to meet the US Census definition of a residential unit, units must feature a kitchen facilities. The expense to add kitchen facilities in an existing space is more cost effective than building a residential unit.
The City conducted a study of existing Carriage Houses in November 2020. A total of 117 Carriage Houses were noted at this time. The City confirmed that an additional 3 Carriage Houses have been built since Nov. 2020, with another 9 currently going through the permitting process or under construction. This brings the total number of Carriage Houses within the City to 129. The City anticipates 80% of the existing Carriage Houses will convert, equating to 103 units. The City estimates (pursuant to guidance from State HCD), that 70% of the 103 units, equating to 72 units, will be available at lower income levels with the implementation of Program H-4.A. Carriage House Program. The specific actions to implement this program include:
DRAFT Attachment 1
City of Coronado Page 281
City of Coronado
2021-2029 Housing Element
Section 4: Housing Resources and Opportunities Page 4-6 • Waiving fees to help incentivize the addition of a kitchen to the existing carriage houses with a low or moderate income covenant;
• Eliminating parking requirement for conversion with a very low or low income covenant; • Encouraging the use of public transportation; and
• Annually monitoring conversions against goals and adjusting policies to bolster efforts as needed.
The City anticipates a total of 103 Carriage Houses to be converted during the 6th Cycle Planning Period.
Summary of Sites Selection
Sites identified to meet the City’s future housing needs were selected based on size, location, feasibility for redevelopment and in consideration of state legislation. Analysis to identify realistic opportunity for redevelopment was conducted for all non-vacant parcels identified in this Housing Element (outline in Section 7). This propensity analysis considered the following:
• Existence of developable areas on the parcel including surface parking lots and landscaped areas • Ownership of the parcel
• Signs of underdevelopment including existing improvement disrepair and existing/potential density misalignment
• Environmental constraints
• Neighborhood history of redevelopment
Adequacy of Sites for RHNA
The City has adequate capacity to accommodate its determined need of 912 units for the 6th Cycle Planning Period.

Section 4: Housing Resources and Opportunities Page 4-7 B. 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:
Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher
The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program is a Federal government program to assist very low-income 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 County of San Diego administers Section 8 Housing Choice vouchers within the City of Coronado Housing Assistance Reserve (Fund)
To ensure that housing is provided for all economic segments of the population, Coronado adopted the Affordable Housing Assistance - Dedication strategy. The program establishes affordable housing requirements including the following:
• Reserve units for affordable
• Pay an in-lieu fee
Unit Reservation
If the developer or subdivider decides to reserve units, then a total of 20 percent of all units in the proposed development must be reserved. A unit or units reserved for rental must then be rented at or below the “Fair Market Rent” established by HUD to persons qualified for Section 8 Rent Subsidies by the County Housing Authority or to persons within very low- and low-income categories as established annually by HUD. A unit or units reserved for sale must be sold at affordable prices to persons within moderate income categories as established annually by HUD.
The unit or units reserved “for rental” or “for sale” may be at a location other than the subject development site so long as it is within the boundaries of the City of Coronado and maintained as affordable for a minimum period of time as determined by the Community Development Director and approved by the City Council.
In Lieu Fee
If the developer or subdivider chooses to make payment in lieu of unit reservation, the fee is determined by a fixed schedule reviewed and updated by the City. According to the 2018 Coronado Fee Schedule, the current in lieu fee is set at $7,000 per unit. The amount is calculated to provide the developer or subdivider’s fair share contribution towards meeting the City’s affordable housing objective without placing an unreasonable financial burden on any applicant. As discussed in Program H-2.B: Local Funding for Affordable Housing, the City will revise the amount collected for in-lieu fees, with the purpose of increasing the overall fee beyond the current fee of $7,000.
Affordable Housing Fund
The in-lieu funds are separated from City funds for the purposes of affordable housing. The in-lieu funds may be invested in the same manner and at the same rate as allowed for City funds. If land use rights for real property to carry out the purposes of this title are not obtained within a three-year period from the receipt of any in lieu funds, or the City has not, within a 10-year period from the receipt of in lieu funds committed the funds to a low or moderate income housing project, then the in lieu funds may be retained for the benefit of the City.
C. Infrastructure and Facilities
As a highly urbanized community, infrastructure facilities are available to serve development throughout Coronado.
All of the land designated for residential use is adequately served by sewer lines, water lines, storm drains, telephones, and electrical and gas lines. As an example, the Coronado Public Works Department provides sewer DRAFT Attachment 1
City of Coronado Page 283
City of Coronado
2021-2029 Housing Element
Section 4: Housing Resources and Opportunities Page 4-8 service and maintains 17 sewer pump stations. The system includes: 45 miles of underground sewer pipeline and on average, transfers 2.35 million gallons of sewage per day, including sewage from the Cays and all Navy bases.
D. Energy Usage and 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 costs.
San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) currently provides natural gas and electricity transmission and distribution infrastructure in San Diego County. SDG&E is regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), which is responsible for making sure utilities’ customers have safe and reliable utility service.
Title 24 Title 24 of the California Administrative Code is a set of requirements for energy conservation, green design, construction maintenance, safety, and accessibility. Title 24 was published by the California Building Standards Code and applies to all buildings in California, not just state-owned buildings. Title 24 regulations and requirements are enforced when an applicant pulls a building permit for a proposed project and have plans reviewed or building inspected.
The City of Coronado works to minimize its ecological footprint through conserving energy, providing efficient and sustainable transportation options, conserving water, and maintaining a healthy and extensive urban forest. The City provides the following energy efficient programs:
• Electric Vehicles: The City has installed 14 electric charging stations throughout the City:
o City Hall
o Public Services
o Municipal Golf Course
o Coronado Cays
• LEED Buildings: Coronado currently has four (4) buildings which were built to the LEED Silver status:
o Animal Care Facility
o Tennis Center
o John D. Spreckels Senior Center
o Coronado Clubroom and Boat House
• Solar Energy: Building Permit Staff has issued 288 permits for solar photovoltaic systems from 2017 to 2020. • Landscaping Equipment: On September 5, 2017, the Council approved Resolution 8891 directing the conversion of the City's gas-powered leaf blowers and string trimmers, and those used by its contractors to zero-emission electric tools no later than December 31, 2018. The requirement became applicable throughout the City on January 1, 2021.
San Diego Gas & Electric Energy Savings Incentives
San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) is the primary energy provider for residents within the City of Coronado. They offer a number of rebate programs on in-home utilities and appliances, including energy-efficient water heaters and smart thermostats. Additionally, SDG&E provides multi-family energy efficiency rebates for residents in apartment complexes. This program promotes qualified energy-efficient improvements in apartment dwelling units, common areas of apartment of condominium complexes with two or more units and common areas of mobile home parks.
Eligible customers include property owners, managers, and authorized agents of existing residential multifamily complexes with two or more dwellings. These improvements are beneficial to property owners and residents alike and can help to reduce overall home rental costs for families who qualify.

Development of handicapped-accessible or
adaptable and elderly housing opportunities in
existing developments is also encouraged.
(Adaptable units have all handicappedaccessible clearances and provisions met except for the clearances at base cabinets,
countertops, and the provision of grab bars.
Such units are designed so that these
modifications can be easily and inexpensively
made, but for the convenience of nonhandicapped residents, are not completely modified until an occupant needs the
additional modifications.)

Funding Mechanism
to Administer City's
Affordable Housing
Resources
Develop a funding mechanism to administer
the City’s affordable housing resources to
support the required monitoring, renovation,
maintenance, and administrative costs
associated with the City’s affordable housing
stock by the end of 2013. Specifically:
- Amend Chapter 82.21. Dedication –
Affordable Housing Assistance: Amend Section
82.21.050: This section identifies the
authorized uses of the in-lieu fees collected
and deposited into the City’s affordable
housing fund. This section states, “All fees
collected hereunder shall be deposited in an
affordable housing fund. Said fund shall be
administered by the City and shall be used only
for the purpose of providing funding assistance
for the provision of new affordable housing
units within the City consistent with the goals
and policies contained in the Housing Element
of the General Plan.” In order to use this
funding source for “maintaining” existing
affordable housing and administering housing,
the code section should be amended to
provide expanded authority for use of these
funds.
- Consider Amending Resolution #7259
Established Housing In-Lieu Fee. In accordance
with subsection B of Section 82.21.040, “the
in-lieu fee is fixed by a schedule adopted, from
time to time, by resolution of the City Council.
Said amount shall be reasonably calculated to
Because of the dissolution of Coronado’s
Redevelopment Agency (CDA), the City of
Coronado has undertaken the role of
“Successor Agency” to carry out the
responsibilities and obligations of the former
redevelopment agency with respect to the
existing affordable housing units in Coronado.
Previously, the CDA funded all aspects of
providing affordable housing, maintaining
affordable housing, renovating affordable
housing, and enforcing affordable housing
agreements. All these obligations/
responsibilities were created due to the
involvement of Coronado’s Redevelopment
Agency. The Successor Agency will now be
responsible for performing all these tasks.
However, without the redevelopment agency
to provide funding for these activities, a new
source of funding will need to be established
for the City acting as the “Successor Agency”
to carry out these responsibilities.
A possible funding mechanism would be to use
the City’s housing inclusionary fees. In
accordance with Section 82.21.020, a
developer of a condominium consisting of two
or more units shall reserve 20 percent of the
units within the development “for rental” to
persons qualified by the County Housing
Authority as meeting Section 8 Rental
Assistance requirements or to persons
qualifying within very low and low income
categories as established annually by the U.S.
Ongoing. Modified for the 6th
Cycle. The City acknowledges
the importance of providing
housing assistance, however
with the dissolution of
redevelopment funding the City
has not identified additional
funding sources. The City has
relied on General Fund dollars
for Affordable Housing
administration and will
investigate additional
opportunities for funding in the
6th Cycle. The City will consider
increasing the affordable In -Lieu
fee in order to provide
additional funding sources.

qualified provider by the end of 2013.
To develop the most efficient means of
maintaining and renovating the City’s 35

agreement with an affordable housing
developer. The City should develop a Request
for Proposals to solicit interested firms’
participation in such a program. The City
should evaluate the proposals and select the
developer who has demonstrated experience
in effectively renovating and managing

Unit Rehabilitation
and Retention
Preserve an average of one alley unit per year,
additional units as opportunities arise.
Alley housing units in Coronado are often nonconforming to the Zoning Ordinance in some manner and less expensive than other housing
in the community. Often these units are small
in size, in need of rehabilitation, or exceed the
number of units presently permitted on the
property. If application of Zoning Ordinance
standards prevented needed rehabilitation of
these dwellings, then property owners could
be forced to demolish these units and replace
them with more expensive new structures or
perhaps not be able to replace them at all.
Existing Zoning Ordinance standards allow
some property owners (depending on the type
and severity of the non-conformity) to
improve and thereby retain their alley units.
Coronado shall maintain this flexibility in the
application of its Zoning Ordinance standards.
Ongoing. The City continues to
maintain flexibility to allow alley
units to be upgraded, and also
allows for ADUs. The program

Section 6: At Risk Affordable Housing
Pursuant to California Government Code, Section 65583(a)(9), an analysis of existing assisted housing developments that are eligible to change from low-income housing uses during the 6th Cycle Housing Element Planning Period due to termination of subsidy contracts, mortgage prepayment, or expiration of restrictions on use must be identified in the Housing Element.
Affordable covenants help to ensure that certain housing units remain affordable for an extended period of time.
Covenants help balance the housing market in a community and provide lasting affordable options to low and very low-income households. The City of Coronado has multiple housing projects which include units with affordability covenants. There are currently 55 affordable units within Coronado that are at-risk of converting to market-rate within the planning period (2021-2029).
It is the City’s intent to prioritize the maintenance of their current affordable housing stock and the City is committed to negotiating extensions of existing affordability agreements before units become at-risk.

Section 7. Adequate Sites Inventory Analysis and Methodology Page 7-1 Section 7. Adequate Sites Inventory Analysis and
Methodology
California Government Code, Section 65583(a)(3), requires the Housing Element to identify sites suitable for the development of all housing types, with the capacity to satisfy the City of Coronado (City or Coronado) housing needs for the current 2021–2029 6th Cycle Housing Element period. The Sites Inventory is an assessment of the City’s capacity for new housing development, which must demonstrate that the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) target of 912 housing units, including 481 lower-income (extremely low-, very low-, and low-income) affordable units, can reasonably be achieved under the City’s current land use plans and zoning regulations, or with planned amendments thereto.
The Sites Inventory prepared for the 2021–2029 planning period demonstrates a capacity for at least 1,273 housing units, including 678 housing units on sites adequate for lower-income housing. Pursuant to California Government Code, Section 65583.1, this capacity includes a credit of 361 units (including 197 lower-income units) toward the RHNA consisting of 146 units from entitled or proposed projects (0 lower-income units) and 298 units from accessory dwelling unit (ADU) and carriage house conversion potential (189 lower-income units).
The Sites Inventory was prepared for the purposes of satisfying State (State or California) requirements (as detailed later in this section) and is a planning estimate based on a number of factors including property owner interest.
However, the Sites Inventory does not approve any project or guarantee what will be built on the site. Actual housing development is implemented by the development community and will be largely dependent on market factors that are outside of the City’s control. Housing developers, market trends, and availability of funding are among the constraints that will dictate if and when housing units will be constructed.
Regarding the development of affordable housing, which requires public subsidies in order to be financially feasible, pursuant to California Government Code, Section 65583(b)(2), State law recognizes that housing needs may (and do) exceed available resources. Acknowledgment of funding limitations is extremely important—cities and counties are required to prepare Housing Elements every 8 years to identify needs and actions to provide for housing at all income levels and for all populations despite a severe shortage in local, State, and federal funding that makes many of the actions needed and planned financially infeasible. It is important to recognize that State law requires cities to plan for housing, but almost all housing is developed by the private sector.
The capacity documented in this section is achieved through various methods in accordance with State law, including the following:
• Developable sites pursuant to California Government Code, Section 65583.2(a), were identified. These included sites with zoning that currently allow residential uses. Vacant land was prioritized in the identification of sites but is insufficient to accommodate the City’s RHNA as the majority of land in the City is largely developed.
• Non-vacant sites that have a high likelihood of being redeveloped for residential uses during the 6th Cycle Housing Element planning period were identified.
• Sites to accommodate low and very low-income housing were identified and a residential development capacity analysis for all sites pursuant to California Government Code, Section 65583.2(c), was performed. • Alternative means of meeting the RHNA, as allowed by State law, were considered to meet the RHNA, including potential for ADUs and carriage house conversion.

Section 7. Adequate Sites Inventory Analysis and Methodology Page 7-4 C. Identification of Developable Sites
1. Legal Requirements and State Housing Policies
State law requires that the Housing Element of the General Plan include an inventory of land suitable and available for residential development to meet the locality’s share of the regional housing need by income level and demonstrate sufficient zoned housing capacity to meet each Housing Element Cycle’s RHNA target. The City determines its housing capacity through a review of planned development and vacant and non-vacant developable land throughout the City that may reasonably develop within the Housing Element planning period. This approach (as recommended by HCD) is utilized because many factors will affect housing development, including feasibility, trends, and developer and property owner choices within the City. Additionally, mandating housing development on private property or property owned by other government agencies is not within the City’s authority or powers.
Per California Government Code, Section 65583.2(a), the City worked to identify vacant sites zoned for residential use and vacant sites zoned for mixed-use, including residential. The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) Housing Element Site Inventory Guidebook (2020) was also consulted in the selection of sites.
The City is a highly developed, small island with a large Naval base that covers approximately 67% of the land area. As a result, vacant sites do not currently exist. Therefore, the City worked to identify the following types of sites as land suitable for residential development to meet the RHNA:
City or publicly owned sites with housing development potential. Property owned by religious institutions with an interest in developing housing. Privately owned sites with indicated owner or developer interest in developing housing. Underutilized residential and mixed-use zoned sites that are capable of development at a higher residential density than the current density (nonvacant sites, including underutilized sites). Federally owned sites with plans for developing on-site housing for its employees.
Alternative methods to meet the RHNA were also used including Program H-1.A: Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Program H-4.A: Carriage House Program as identified in Section 8: Housing Plan.
2. Data Sources
To prepare the Sites Inventory, the City utilized multiple data sources, including the City’s Geographic Information System (GIS) data (which incorporates data from the City’s General Plan, zoning, and land use designations), and the County of San Diego (County or San Diego) assessment roll. The process of evaluating potential sites involved applying specified criteria to identify sites where planned/zoned residential capacity can be realistically achieved.
3. Housing Units Approved/Entitled/Under Construction
As of April 5, 2023, the City has identified 146 pending or entitled housing units that will be constructed during the 6th cycle planning period. The City will credit these units toward its RHNA requirement pursuant to California Government Code, Section 65583.1. Some of these developments have been approved to begin construction or are currently undergoing construction while others have been proposed and are under review. The City expects that all can be built within the 6th Cycle planning period based on their current status and the timing of approval and construction for recently built developments. Table 7-3, Entitled and Pending Development Applications, summarizes the pending and entitled units, including the status and the estimated completion for each project. A description of each zoning designation shown in this table can be found in Section 3: Housing Constraints. The improvement-to-land value ratio helps give a snapshot of the current utilization status of the site. Improvement to land value ratios under 1.00 indicate that a site is either underutilized as the land is more valuable than the improvements built on it or that the structure has not been improved in many years as renovations or improvement trigger reassessments of assessed value by the county assessor’s office.

Section 7. Adequate Sites Inventory Analysis and Methodology Page 7-7 Affordable Housing Units Approved/Entitled/Under Construction/Completed As mentioned previously, there are no affordable housing units (at very low, low, or moderate income levels) approved, entitled, under construction, or completed as of October 6, 2023, in the City’s pipeline. The City wishes to encourage affordable housing in part through two programs designed to provide financial and other incentives to property owners that create accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and add kitchen facilities to existing carriage house units to meet the Census definition of a unit. More specifically, Program H-1.A. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Program H-4.A. Carriage House Program detailed in Section 8: Housing Plan provides for 195 ADUs and 103 Carriage House conversions, respectively.
Under Program H-1.A. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), pursuant to California Government Code, Section 65583.1 and coordination with HCD, the City will credit a total of 195 units, 60% of which are anticipated to be affordable at lower income levels (low and very low), during the 6th Cycle period toward its RHNA requirement through the potential development of accessory dwelling units utilizing Program H-1.A. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs).
The City proposes Program H-4.A. Carriage House Program to provide incentives to add kitchen facilities to at least 80% of the existing permitted carriage houses, or a total of 103 units (essentially converting these unitsto ADUs that meet the US Census definition of a residential unit), during the 6th cycle. The City estimates (pursuant to guidance from HCD), that 70% of the 103 units will be available at lower income levels with the implementation of Program H-4.A. Carriage House Program.
Approval of Housing Units Approved/Entitled/Under Construction In the City of Coronado, it is highly unlikely for a residential or mixed-use development to not move forward after receiving planning entitlements. During the 5th cycle planning period, the overwhelming majority of projects involving residential development were completed or are currently under construction. In the very few cases where projects did not move forward, the City was informed by the developer of the decision not to build was based on changing market conditions (such as interest rate increases or increases in materials/labor costs). These are all factors unrelated to the City’s regulations, housing programs, or development review process, and as such are factors outside of the control of the City.
Coronado is a substantially developed city with little, if any, vacant land available for development. Therefore, new residential developments that occur on infill sites tend to be smaller in size than large greenfield developments and are constructed in a single phase.
4. Accessory Dwelling Units
Pursuant to California Government Code, Section 65583.1, and coordination with HCD, the City will credit a total of 195 units during the 6th Cycle period toward its RHNA requirement through the potential development of accessory dwelling units utilizing Program H-1.A. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) found in Section 8: Housing Plan. The City saw a notable increase in the production of ADUs following the enactment of new State laws passed in an effort to spur the development of such units. In 2018, the City reported a total of just 4 ADUs permitted. However, between 2019 and 2022, the City reported an average of nearly 16 ADUs permitted each year which is an increase of nearly 400%. The ADUs were reported in Table B of the Annual Progress Reports (APRs). Table 7-4. ADU Permits Issued, Past 5 Years, details the numbers of ADUs that the City permitted during the last 5 years DRAFT

Section 7. Adequate Sites Inventory Analysis and Methodology Page 7-8 Table 7-4. ADU Permits Issued, Past 5 Years
The HCD Sites Inventory Guidebook directs that the trend in ADU construction since the passage of the aforementioned state laws can be used to estimate new production. Furthermore, resources and incentives that will encourage the development of ADUs can support a projection of further growth to the trend since that time.
In 2020, the Center for Community Innovation at the University of California at Berkeley (UC Berkeley) undertook a comprehensive, statewide survey of ADUs, resulting in a document entitled “Implementing the Backyard Revolution:
Perspectives of California’s ADU Homeowners”, released on April 22, 2021. Key takeaways include:
• Just under 20% of Bay Area ADUs are made available at no cost to the tenant. • An additional 16% are rented to friends or family, presumably at a discounted rent, though the survey did not ask.
• Market-rate ADUs tend to rent at prices affordable to low and moderate income households in most markets.
• Tenants are often family members, caregivers, or family friends.
City staff participated in a number of calls with HCD staff between July and October 2023 to discuss the City’s methodology to meet the 6th cycle RHNA. The City anticipates an increase in lower- and moderate-income ADUs resulting from Program H-1.A. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) which incentivizes building ADUs with affordable income restrictions. Pursuant to California Government Code, Section 65583.1, and coordination with HCD, the City will credit a total of 195 units, 60% of which are anticipated to be affordable at lower income levels (low and very low), during the 6th Cycle period toward its RHNA requirement through the potential development of accessory dwelling units utilizing Program H-1.A. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) found in Section 8: Housing Plan.
Table 7-5. Potential ADU Production by Income Level, shows the breakdown of the City’s projected ADU development through the 6th cycle. The affordability assumptions are based on conversations with HCD staff, the UC Berkeley survey findings, and Program H-1 A. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs).

Section 7. Adequate Sites Inventory Analysis and Methodology Page 7-9 units must feature a kitchen facilities. The expense to add kitchen facilities in an existing space is more cost effective than building a residential unit.
The City conducted a study of existing Carriage Houses in November 2020. A total of 117 Carriage Houses were noted at this time. The City confirmed that an additional 3 Carriage Houses have been built since Nov. 2020, with another 9 currently going through the permitting process or under construction. This brings the total number of Carriage Houses within the City to 129. Table 7-6. Carriage House Conversion Methodology illustrates the calculation of potential carriage house conversions.
Table 7-6. Carriage House Conversion Methodology
The City proposes Program H-4.A. Carriage House Program to provide incentives to add kitchen facilities to at least 80% of the existing permitted carriage houses, or a total of 103 units (essentially converting these units to ADUs that meet the US Census definition of a residential unit), during the 6th cycle. The City estimates (pursuant to guidance from HCD), that 70% of the 103 units will be available at lower income levels with the implementation of Program H-4.A. Carriage House Program. The specific actions to implement this program include:
• Waiving fees to help incentivize the addition of a kitchen to the existing carriage houses with a low or moderate income covenant;
• Eliminating parking requirement for conversion with a very low or low income covenant; • Encouraging the use of public transportation; and
• Annually monitoring conversions against goals and adjusting policies to bolster efforts as needed.
Table 7-7. Potential Carriage House Conversion by Income Level shows the breakdown of the City’s projected carriage house conversion to be applied to the RHNA throughout the 6th cycle.

This 0.62-acre site is currently owned by the Parish of Christ Church.
The Church has expressed interest in developing affordable housing.
This allows for a strong assumption of lower-income housing. The Church would also like to retain the thrift store on the site.
The site is proposed to be rezoned at R-4 or 40 du/ac equivalent. The realistic capacity analysis for the R-4 zone indicates a 75% actual density based on recently approved projects. This 75% assumption of the total density capacity projects that 19 units will be developed.
The site’s strong access to amenities, municipal services, and schools makes it an excellent candidate for lower-income units. The Orange Avenue Vons grocery store, Spreckels Park, Coronado High School, and Palm Academy for Learning are within ½ mile of the site. Coronado Middle and Coronado Village Elementary schools are just outside a ½ mile but still within close proximity.

Description of Site and Factors Promoting Development:
This site is a duplex property that was recently purchased by the City with plans to convert to affordable housing at the lower-income levels.
City ownership, along with expressed plans for the site, provides a strong basis for the proposed unit mix.
The site is 0.08 acres in size and is zoned at R-4 with a maximum density of 40 du/ac. The site is an occupied, residential duplex with above market rate units and could be redeveloped under existing zoning with three low-income units. The potential redevelopment of the site would remove 2 above moderate units from the existing housing stock. However, Table 7-2 shows a 97-unit surplus of above moderate units. The City will follow all legal requirements for relocation and replacement housing, as well as follow all legal requirements under the California Surplus Land Act. In accordance with the Surplus Land Act, the City will advertise the property to affordable housing developers for potential redevelopment.
The site also has strong access to amenities, municipal services, public transportation, and schools which makes it another great candidate for lower-income units. These amenities include Smart & Final Extra! on B Ave. (or the projected grocery development on site 5), the Orange Avenue Vons grocery store, and Spreckels Park all of which are within ½ mile from the site.

7. Sites Located in Specific Plan Areas
HCD’s Site Inventory Guidebook requires further analysis for sites located in specific plans or master plan areas.
There is one specific plan area in the City called the Orange Avenue Corridor Specific Plan Where five of the City’s 10 opportunity sites are located. Of the City’s total 110 sites, 10 are in the specific plan area.
The City adopted the Orange Avenue Corridor Specific Plan to preserve and enhance Downtown Coronado by addressing:
• Growing concerns about the downtown evolving into a tourist-serving district, and the desire for expanded retail opportunities for residents;
• The availability of convenient parking;
• Continued expansion of discounted retail on North Island; • The ability of local businesses to compete with corporate establishments; • The recent closure of the City’s only movie theatre;
• The prospect of increasing traffic volumes; and
• The need for improved aesthetic, land use, pedestrian/bicycle, and vehicle connections.
The City also has the Coronado Cays Specific Plan area however it does not impact any of the proposed Opportunity Sites.
Pursuant to page 18 of HCD’s Site Inventory Guidebook, the Housing Element must contain specific sites by parcel number (provided in Table 7-8. Specific Plan Area Sites, and in Table 7-16. Sites Inventory) and demonstrate that the sites are available and suitable for development within the planning period, including:
• Identify the date of approval of the plans and expiration date – the Orange Avenue Corridor Specific Plan was adopted on November 4, 2003, and amended four times with the most recent amendment in April 2014. The Specific Plan does not have an expiration date. • Identify approved or pending projects within these plans that are anticipated in the planning period, including anticipated affordability based on the actual or projected sale prices, rent levels, or other mechanisms establishing affordability in the planning period of the units within the project – As discussed earlier, all approved or pending (Pipeline) projects in the City are a majority 1-5 unit developments that are at above moderate-income levels. The Pipeline sites within the specific plan are detailed in Table 7-8. • Of the 10 sites located in the Orange Avenue Corridor Specific Plan, five are pending, approved, or permitted. More information about all 10 sites in the Orange Avenue Corridor Specific Plan area is provided in Table 7-8. Specific Plan Area Sites. Additional details about all 100 pending, approved, or permitted (Pipeline) developments, including affordability levels, are available in Table 7-3. Entitled and Pending Development Applications.
• The information for all sites within these Specific Plan areas is provided in Table 7-8. Specific Plan Area Sites. Sites that are not pending or approved are indicated with the status “Opportunity.” • Describe necessary approvals or steps for entitlements for new development (e.g., design review, site plan review, etc.) – general information is contained in Section 3: Housing Constraints, and site-specific information is provided in Table 7-8.
• Describe any development agreements, and conditions or requirements such as phasing or timing requirements that impact development in the planning period - this requirement does not apply. There is one development agreement with the Hotel del Coronado that DRAFT
has been built out and completed.

8. Infrastructure Availability – Site Access to Water, Sewer, and Dry Utilities Water and Sewer
An analysis of water and sewer capacity was conducted by a licensed civil engineer with Harris and Associates by reviewing the 2020 Urban Water Management Plan for California American Water (CAW), San Diego County District, and 2015 City of Coronado Wastewater Master Plan Update, as described below. In summary, there is sufficient water supply and sewer collection and treatment capacity to meet the City’s Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA) for the planning period.
The population of the City of Coronado was estimated to be 18,702 as of July 1, 2022, according to the US Census Bureau. The City of Coronado receives water supply from CAW, which purchases water from the City of San Diego.
The City of San Diego’s supply is primarily imported water with 93% purchased water from the San Diego County Water Authority and Metropolitan Water District (MWD). Additionally, the City of San Diego utilizes groundwater wells, recycled water, and surface water reservoirs that capture rainwater and runoff. In 2004, CAW entered into a 25-year water purchase contract with the City of San Diego that outlines the minimum and the maximum contract amount available to purchase as well as pricing and structure for any amount over the contract maximum. The minimum purchase amount is 60% of the average system delivery per customer per day and the maximum contract amount available is 120% of the average system delivery per customer per day. These volumes are calculated each fiscal year based on the prior 24 months of deliveries ending June 30th and the number of current customers as of June 30th.
CAW-San Diego County District’s 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) outlines water demand and supply through 2040. Based on the data provided in the 2020 UWMP, there is adequate water supply to meet average demands during normal years, single dry-year droughts, and multiple dry-year droughts. The supply and demand projections through 2040 indicate surplus water availability. CAW is also working aggressively to implement water conservation and efficiency programs and has a water shortage contingency plan for the future. CAW intends to pursue the use of recycled water from the City of Coronado Recycled Water Treatment Plantshould it be developed.
Preliminary studies show recycled water could offset approximately 1 MGD of irrigation demands, which is approximately 10% of future system demands.

Section 7. Adequate Sites Inventory Analysis and Methodology Page 7- 23 A specific Water Master Plan for CAW-San Diego County District could not be found. However, based on the water supply contract that CAW has with the City of San Diego, and the drinking water projections through 2040 described in the 2020 Urban Water Management Plan, it is assumed that there will be sufficient water available to serve the new developments. All proposed sites are within developed portions of the water system and should be readily available adjacent to or in close proximity to each site. CAW is a subsidiary of American Water which is a large water and wastewater utility in the United States. Based on its size and technical capabilities, it is assumed that CAW has a full understanding of the delivery capabilities of the water distribution systems and is making capital improvement plans to address pressure or delivery issues.
The wastewater (sewer) collection and treatment analysisis based on the 2015 City of Coronado Wastewater Master Plan Update. The City of Coronado’s existing wastewater collection system consists of approximately 40 miles of gravity pipelines ranging between 4 to 36 inches in diameter, 7 miles of sewer force mains ranging from 4 to 23 inches in diameter, 750 manholes, and 17 pump stations. Wastewater treatment and disposal are provided by the City of San Diego Metropolitan Wastewater Department (Metro system). The City has capacity rights to 3.25 million gallons per day (mgd) of Metro capacity, not including flows from the Navy, which compensates the City of San Diego directly, and contracts with the City to transport its flows. The combined flows are pumped via the Transbay Pump Station to the Metro system and conveyed to the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Coronado is predominately built out and therefore significant changes to the existing land use are not anticipated.
Development that may occur would be in the form of conversions of existing properties to higher-density residential units within the existing land use classification or possibly small-scale redevelopment. This slight increase in the number of units available combined with an anticipated reduction in vacancy rates throughout the service area will allow for a small increase in population.
Coronado transfers 2.35 million gallons per day of sewage, including sewage from the Cays and Navy bases to the City of San Diego's Point Loma Treatment Plant. With the conversion from single-family or commercial to multifamily as the primary driver of new units, significant flow increases are not anticipated. The available Metro capacity is anticipated to be sufficient. In addition, the capacity evaluation performed for the Wastewater Master Plan did not identify projects with insufficient capacity. As with the water system, all proposed sites are within developed portions of the wastewater system and should be readily available adjacent or in close proximity to each site.
Government Code, Section 65589.7 (a) requires that “the housing element adopted by the legislative body and any amendments made to that element shall be immediately delivered to all public agencies or private entities that provide water or sewer services for municipal and industrial uses, including residential, within the territory of the legislative body. Each public agency or private entity providing water or sewer services shall grant a priority for the provision of these services to proposed developments that include housing units affordable to lower-income households.” Pursuant to this requirement, the City of Coronado will immediately deliver the Housing Element to CAW. The City of Coronado will include a cover memo describing the Housing Element, including the City’s housing needs and regional housing needs.
Dry Utilities
Utility services for gas and electric are provided by San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E). In accordance with the California Public Utilities Commission and in compliance with SDG&E's “Rules for the sale of electric energy” all electric and gas service will be provided for future development in the City of Coronado as requested. SDG&E regularly partners 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. Additional dry utilities include telecommunications providers, cable providers, and solid waste disposal (EDCO Disposal Corporation).

10. Suitability of Sites for Moderate-Income Housing
AB 725 (2020) requires housing elements due after January 1, 2022 (metropolitan and suburban jurisdictions) to allocate 25% of their RHNA numbers for moderate- and above moderate-income housing to sites with zoning that allows at least four units of housing, with moderate-income sites capped at a density of 100 units per acre. The Sites Inventory was prepared in adherence to these requirements.
The following moderate-income units are credited toward the RHNA:
Potential ADUs: 25 units (per Table 7-5. Potential ADU Production by Income Level), will be applied to the RHNA after thorough coordination with State HCD and the City’s strong commitment to Program H-1.A. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) found in Section 8: Housing Plan.
All of the City’s moderate-income units (after the alternative methods described earlier are factored in) are allocated to 3 sites, all of which allow at least four units of housing per parcel and none of which allow a density of 100 units per acre.
Two of the City’s moderate-income unit sites (Sites 3 and 4) will be rezoned to R-4 equivalent allowing for 40 units per acre.
The third moderate-income site, Site 10, is owned by the US Navy and is not under the jurisdiction of the City.
Therefore, no zoning changes are required nor possible. More specifically, the City zoning and land use designations do not apply to this property - the Navy is not required to obtain approvals and/or permits from the city/state to develop and is free to develop independently. Therefore, the constraints that developers face in developing housing are not a factor for property owned by the US military. As stated in this Section and in Appendix B (AFFH), the Navy has obtained funding and has confirmed plans to build 374 units on Site 10.
The unit breakdown agreed upon for the Navy housing includes 305 lower-income units and 69 moderate-income units. An analysis of the sailors that would be housed at the site along with their expected income factored in this unit breakdown. Each sailor rank is given a specific monthly pay as well as a Basic Allowance for Subsistence (BAS) provided annually. The BAS can vary with a higher BAS given to enlisted members on duty at a permanent station and assigned to single (unaccompanied) Government quarters, which do not have adequate food storage or preparation facilities, and where a Government mess is not available, and the Government cannot otherwise make meals available. This higher rate referred to as BAS II, is twice the rate of standard enlisted BAS, and must be authorized by the Secretary of the Military Department. The breakdown of sailor ranks, and yearly pay plus BAS are as follows:
• E-1 – $28,441.92 (BAS I) or $33,872.64 (BAS II)
• E-2 – $31,221.12 (BAS I) or $36,651.84 (BAS II)
• E-3 – $36,001.92 (BAS I) or $41,432.64 (BAS II)
• E-4 – $41,902.32 (BAS I) or $47,333.04 (BAS II)
The planned Navy housing will be built according to Department of Defense development standards which now meet the Census definition of a unit (see the site profile for Site 10 in this section). According to representative from the Navy, these units will house 2 sailors per unit. However, E-4 sailors with more than four years of experience are not required to accept assignments to unaccompanied quarters and have the option to be assigned to private rooms.
Given that, the possible sailorrank unit combinations per the Navy and their AMI for San Diego County are as follows:

• Two (2) E-1s – Low
• Two (2) E-2s – Low
• Two (2) E-3s – Low
• Two (2) E-4s – Low or Moderate (could be Very Low if one (1) per unit) • One (1) E-3 and one (1) E-4 – Low or Moderate
The projected income levels decided upon with coordination between the Navy, City, and the State HCD Enforcement Division yielded a breakdown of 305 total lower-income units (includes very low and low) and 69 moderate-income units. These units are projected to be built throughout the 6th Cycle with the City following up on this progress in accordance with Program H-1.E: Track Navy Housing Development found in Section 8: Housing Plan.
All of the City’s above moderate-income units are allocated to 105 sites that are classified as pipeline sites that include units that are in the planning process, are approved, or are under construction. Table 7-9. Suitability of Above Moderate and Moderate-Income Sites shows sites that only contain moderate and above moderate-income units. The improvement-to-land value ratio helps give a snapshot of the current utilization status of the site.
Typically, improvement to land value ratios under 1.00 indicate that a site is underutilized as the land is more valuable than what is built on it.

Section 7. Adequate Sites Inventory Analysis and Methodology Page 7- 30 D. Sites to Accommodate Low- and Very Low-Income RNHA
1. Sites Used in Previous Planning Periods’ Housing Elements Legal Requirements
Per Assembly Bill 1397 and as stated in the Sites Inventory Guidebook (Part B, page 11), sites that were used in the previous Planning Periods’ Housing Elements are required to satisfy certain conditions to be designated for lowerincome units in the current Planning Period’s Sites Inventory. Any non-vacant sites included in the 5th Cycle Housing Element and any vacant sites included in both the 4th and 5th Cycle Housing Elements must meet the following criteria in order to be eligible to be counted toward the City’s lower-income housing capacity, the following must apply:
The sites must be designated in the site inventory (Table 7-16. Sites Inventory); and Page 12 of the HCD Housing Element Sites Inventory Guidebook also requires that if sites have been used in previous housing elements, the Housing Element must include “a program in the housing element requiring rezoning within 3 years of the beginning of the planning period to allow residential use by right at specified densities (see Step 2) for housing developments in which at least 20% of the units are affordable to lower-income households. This program can be an overlay on these specific sites. Please be aware that the intent of this requirement is to further incentivize the development of housing on sites that have been available over one or more planning periods. The application of the requirement should not be used to further constrain the development of housing. As such, housing developments that do not contain the requisite 20% would still be allowed to be developed according to the underlying (base) zoning but would not be eligible for “by right” processing. However, the jurisdiction would have to make findings on the approval of that project pursuant to No Net Loss Law (Government Code section 65863) and proceed to identify an alternative site or sites pursuant to that law. Sites where zoning already permits residential “use by right” as set forth in Government Code section 65583.2 (i) at the beginning of the planning period would be considered to meet this requirement.” HCD defines “use by right” as meaning the jurisdiction shall not require:
• A conditional use permit.
• A planned unit development permit.
• Other discretionary, local-government review or approval that would constitute a “project” as defined in Section 21100 of the Public Resources Code (California Environmental Quality Act “CEQA”).
There are no vacant sites designated for lower-income units in the 6th Cycle Sites Inventory that were included in the 5th Cycle Housing Element Sites Inventory.
Non-Vacant, Lower-Income Sites Used in a Previous Planning Period Site 2 is a non-vacant site designated for lower-income units in the City’s 6th Cycle Sites Inventory that was identified in the 5th Cycle Housing Element Sites Inventory. Site 2 is a duplex owned by the City and houses two market-rate units. The City plans to offer the site to affordable housing developers to redevelop the site to the maximum unit density of 3 units and to restrict the units for lower-income households. If an affordable housing developer does not submit a proposal to redevelop the site, the City will explore opportunities to either redevelop the site into three lower-income units or will comprehensively rehabilitate the existing structure and restrict residency to lower income households. The site is currently zoned R-4 for 40 units per acre. The City-owned site will be subject to design review that does not constitute a “project” for purposes of Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code (i.e., the California Environmental Quality Act), and does not require a conditional use permit, a planned unit development permit, or other discretionary review, regardless of the affordability level of the units. In other words, this site currently allows by-right residential development and satisfiesthe requirements to be included in the Sites Inventory. Table 7-10. Lower-Income Sites Used in the Prior Planning Period provides additional details the one site.

Section 7. Adequate Sites Inventory Analysis and Methodology Page 7- 31 Table 7-10. Lower-Income Sites Used in the Prior Planning Period
2. Zoning Appropriate to Accommodate Low- and Very Low-Income RNHA The HCD Sites Inventory Guidebook restricts the designation of sites for lower-income units to properties allowing at least 30 units per acre (for a “jurisdiction in a metropolitan county,” the designation that applies to the City).
The Sites Inventory identifies 489 total potential lower-income housing units on 10 sites that are suitable for lowerincome housing development, based on the criteria established by State law and HCD, with special considerations described below. These units are attributed to sites that:
Have zoning with a minimum residential density that allows for at least 30 dwelling units per acre.
Sites 1, 3, 4, 5, and 9 all currently have zoning with maximum densities below 30 du/ac. Not all of these zoning designations currently allow for residential, however. The breakdown of all current zones are as follows. • R-3 (Site 1) – Multiple Family Residential at 28 du/ac. Residential currently allowed. R-4 (Multiple Family Residential at 40 du/ac) is proposed at Site 1.
• C (Sites 3, 4, and 5) – Commercial within the Orange Avenue Corridor Specific Plan. Residential is not currently allowed. Each of these sites has an R-4 or 40 du/ac equivalent zoning proposed with mixed-use capabilities. A capacity of 50% is assumed at these sites • CU (Site 9) – Civic Use. Residential is not currently allowed. R-4 (Multiple Family Residential at 40 du/ac) is proposed at Site 9 with strong housing interest from the current School District Owners for teachers on the island.
Site 10 is owned by the US Navy and the City has no zoning authority or jurisdiction on the site. Therefore, there are no maximum densities. The lower-income units on Site 10 reflect documentation and correspondence from the US Navy staff.
Program H-1.G. General Plan Update Program sets forth guidelines to rezone each of those sites with densities equivalent to the R-4 level, which is a maximum density of 40 units per acre.
Senate Bill 6 – Middle Class Housing Act of 2022 (SB6) signed into law on September 28, 2022, allows for residential development on property zoned for commercial use if a project meets certain criteria and requirements which are listed as follows (Rutan & Tucker, 2022). This legislation could be utilized at the commercially zoned sites listed above.
• The density for the housing development shall meet or exceed the applicable density deemed appropriate to accommodate housing for lower income households in that jurisdiction. • The housing development shall be subject to local zoning, parking, design, and other ordinances, local code requirements, and procedures applicable to the processing and permitting of a housing development in a zone that allows for the density described above. If more than one zoning designation allows for the prescribed density, the applicable zoning standards shall be for the closest parcel allowing residential use at that density.

Section 7. Adequate Sites Inventory Analysis and Methodology Page 7- 32 • The project site must be 20 acres or less and must comply with all other objective local requirements of the parcel, including any applicable or approved sustainable community strategy or alternative plan. • The project must not be on a site or adjoined to any site where more than one-third of the square footage on the site is dedicated to industrial use.
• A “skilled and trained workforce” must be used to construct all work and prevailing wage must be paid.
Details on lower-income sites are provided in Table 7-16. Sites Inventory.
3. Size of Sites
The HCD Sites Inventory Guidebook restricts the designation of sites for lower-income units to sites that are between
0.5 and 10 acres in size. The sites with lower-income units satisfy the following requirements:
• Minimum parcel size of 0.5 acre - all sites with the exception of Site 2 meet this criteria. Site 2 is owned by the City of Coronado with plans to redevelop an existing market-rate duplex into a new 3-unit project for lower-income households. This site is 0.08 acres in size and designated for lower-income units due to the City’s commitment to lower-income housing and the fact that the site is owned and controlled by the City itself.
• Maximum parcel size of 9.99 acres – all sites with the exception of Sites 7 and 10 meet this criteria. Site 7 is a large apartment complex that is currently underutilized and represents an excellent redevelopment opportunity according to the developer stakeholder interviewed in September 2023. The site profile for Site 7 includes an aerial map illustrating the layout showing parking lots, tennis courts and common areas.
The site is currently zoned RPCD (Residential - Planned Community Development) which does not specify a maximum density. However, the code asks for a Precise Development Plan to be submitted and processed with the application. Given the site’s development potential and flexible density requirements, this 12.66 acre Site is included in the Sites Inventory. Site 10 is a large, Federally owned parcel operated by the US Navy. The City has no zoning authority or jurisdiction on the site. The development of sailor housing on the site will most likely take place on a small portion of the parcel as a whole. It is important to note that the Navy has obtained funding and has plans to build 374 units on the site. The lower-income units on Site 10 were negotiated with correspondence from the US Navy and HCD Enforcement Division. Program H-1.E:
Track Navy Housing in Section 8: Housing Plan details how the City will keep HCD informed of the Navy units as development and occupancy occurs.
All other Opportunity Sites sizes are as follows:
• Site 1 – 0.62 acres
• Site 3 – 0.55 acres
• Site 4 – 0.57 acres
• Site 5 – 2.89 acres
• Site 6 – 1.28 acres
• Site 8 – 1.58 acres
• Site 9 – 3.36 acres

1. 5th Cycle Housing Production and Density
During the 5th Cycle Housing Element Planning Period, the City issued building permits for approximately 403 residential units, as summarized in Table 7-11. 5th Cycle Housing Units with Issued Permits by Affordability. 100% of the permits issued were for above moderate-income units. It should be noted that prior to Redevelopment Dissolution in 2012, the City facilitated the development of multiple affordable housing units. In 2010 alone, 10 affordable housing units were brought online. However, following Dissolution, the low- and moderate-income tax increment set aside ceased to exist, leaving the City with only its affordable housing in-lieu fee as a local funding source for affordable housing.
Table 7-11. 5th Cycle Housing Units with Issued Permits by Affordability The City of Coronado has a history of 1-5 unit developments throughout its residential areas. This is evident in the City’s 5th cycle development history and current Pipeline sites with 100% of units available to above moderateincome households. In order to move forward and meet the RHNA allocations, plans and adjustments will have to be made in the form of a suite of programs identified in Section 8: Housing Plan of this Housing Element Update.
Three of the ten Opportunity Sites (Sites 1, 8 and 9) are proposed to be rezoned to R-4 or equivalent with 40 units per acre. Two of the ten Opportunity Sites (Sites 6 and 7) are proposed to be rezoned to allow for 60 units per acre.
Site 2 is already zoned for R-4 and Site 10 cannot be rezoned as it is a Navy base. The sites currently zoned C (Commercial within Orange Avenue Corridor Specific Plan) (Sites 3, 4 and 5) will include a housing overlay. A capacity of 50% is assumed at these sites. See Program H-1.F. General Plan Update Program in Section 8: Housing Plan for more information on the proposed rezoning.
R-4 is a multiple-family residential zoning district in the City of Coronado that allows for high quality, multiple-family dwelling unit structures in an intensely developed residential environment with a minimum gross lot size of one thousand ninety (1,090) square feet per dwelling unit and a minimum three thousand and five hundred (3,500) square foot lot or building site. The density is forty (40) dwelling units per acre.
The City will also amend the Zoning Ordinance to establish zoning that allows for development of 60 du/ac. This projected rezone only applies to Sites 6 and 7 which currently contain a high-density apartment complex (549 units) and an adjacent, underutilized parking lot. The current 549 unit development on Site 7 already eclipses 40 du/ac of realized density. This leads the City to project more units and propose a 60 du/ac density on Sites 6 and 7. See Program H-1.F. General Plan Update Program in Section 8: Housing Plan for more information on the proposed rezoning.
Multiple residential projects on properties with R-4 zoning have been completed in recent years. As shown in Table 7-12. Pipeline R-4 Development Projects, Pipeline developments built or proposed in R-4 (40 unit per acre zones) have averaged 30.23 units per acre, or 75.57% of the permitted density. With this clear trend of R-4 development in the last 2-3 years, the Sites Inventory realistic capacity factor has been set at 75% for all sites zoned or set to be rezoned to R-4 or a 40 du/ac equivalent or 60 du/ac equivalent.

2. Housing Potential Assumptions and Realistic Capacity Sites with a proposed development are included if the developer:
• Has either applied and/or received entitlement approval or has expressed interest in developing a site; and • Is expected to receive a permit or certificate of occupancy after the beginning of the City’s RHNA Projection Period (i.e., June 30, 2020).
In these cases, projected site densities are based on owner-proposed development densities. Recent development trends in the City were analyzed in order to determine a realistic density for sites. Table 7-12. Pipeline R-4 Development Projects, and the surrounding narrative summarizes the analysis of Pipeline R-4 developments in the City.
For sites without a currently proposed development, projected densities were estimated using a combination of several factors that are dependent on a site’s unique characteristics, including:
• The ownership and projected development scenario;
• The extent the site is underutilized (existing density is less than allowable density); and • The size of the site.
Many of the Opportunity Sites in the Sites Inventory were added because of owner interest in developing housing units. In addition to these factors, the City applied a Realistic Capacity Factor to all sites without a currently proposed development. The methodology utilized for the factors listed is as follows:
A Mixed-Use Factor of 50% of the maximum density of the R-4 zone (40 du/ac) as part of a housing overlay (as described in Program H-1.F. General Plan Update Program in Section 8: Housing Plan:
• Site 3 – Current office, potential mixed-use site.
• Site 4 – Current retail, potential mixed-use site.
• Site 5 – Current Smart & Final (retail), potential mixed-use site A Realistic Capacity Factor for Sites 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
As shown in Table 7-3. Entitled and Pending Development Applications, and Table 7-12. Pipeline R-4 Development Projects, actual Pipeline projects achieve densities equal to 75% of maximum density on average.
Site 1, a site owned by a local church with strong property owner interest in developing affordable housing, will contain an affordable housing overlay but remain calculated using the 75% realistic capacity factor.

Section 7. Adequate Sites Inventory Analysis and Methodology Page 7- 35 The City believes that the combination of these factors provides realistic estimates of potential development on the sites. Actual densities will ultimately depend on property owners and developers and may exceed 75% allowable density.
Projected housing development counts are net of any existing residential units on the sites. These “net potential units” are shown for each site in the Housing Element Sites Inventory in Table 7-16 at the end of this section. Sites 2 and 7 have existing housing units at the present time. However, only Site 2, the location of an existing duplex with 2 market rate units may involve removing existing units. The City intends to offer the site to affordable housing developers to redevelop into 3 units, all of which will be restricted to lower-income tenants. Therefore, two market rate units may be replaced by three lower-income units.
Five of the 10 Opportunity Sites are either currently zoned or will be rezoned to an R-4 or 40 du/ac equivalent level with two others being rezoned to a 60 du/ac equivalent level. Additionally, a housing overlay may be added to 3 non-residential sites where commercial uses are anticipated to continue in some capacity along with new residential units. See the following breakdown of the sites’ current zoning and their proposed zoning:
• R-3 (Site 1) – Multiple Family Residential at 28 du/ac. Residential currently allowed. R-4 (Multiple Family Residential at 40 du/ac) is proposed at Site 1.
• C (Sites 3, 4, and 5) – Commercial within the Orange Avenue Corridor Specific Plan. Residential is not currently allowed. Each of these sites has an R-4 or 40 du/ac equivalent zoning proposed with mixed-use capabilities. A capacity of 50% is assumed at these sites. • RPCD (Sites 6 and 7) – Residential Planned Community Development. This zone allows for residential with the processing of a precise development plan. Multiple Family Residential at 60 du/ac is proposed at both of these sites.
• CU (Site 9) – Civic Use. Residential is not currently allowed. R-4 (Multiple Family Residential at 40 du/ac) is proposed at Site 9 with strong housing interest from the current School District Owners for teachers on the island.
Program H-1.G. General Plan Update Program sets forth guidelines to rezone each of those sites to the R-4 level with a maximum density of 40 units per acre or a 40 du/ac equivalent and a 60 du/ac equivalent through rezoning or the use of a housing overlay.
All Pipeline Sites in the Sites Inventory are based on owner-proposed development densities and the factors listed were not utilized. Table 7-3. Entitled and Pending Development Applications, also lists all of the Pipeline Sites with their current zoning and densities.
3. Housing Potential Methodology –Mixed-Uses
No sites in the City’s Sites Inventory are currently zoned for mixed-use. However, a housing overlay will be added to the following sites:
• Site 3 – Current office including a family practice physician, potential mixed-use site. • Site 4 – Current retail including Swaddee Thai Restaurant, Nado Republic Italian Restaurant, and Nado Gelato Cafe, potential mixed-use site.
• Site 5 – Current Smart & Final (retail), potential mixed-use site.
Each of these sites are currently zoned C (Commercial within Orange Avenue Corridor Specific Plan). Program H-1.F.
General Plan update Program found in Section 8: Housing Plan details the City’s program and commitment to rezoning these sites in a way that best promotes affordable unit development.

Section 7. Adequate Sites Inventory Analysis and Methodology Page 7- 38 G. Non-Vacant Sites (Including Suitability for Lower-Income Housing) The Sites Inventory identifies 10 Opportunity Sites along with 100 total Pipeline sites which are also not vacant as defined by California Government Code. Non-vacant sites have various existing uses including parking lots, lowdensity residential, retail, and office. To assess the likelihood of non-vacant sites redeveloping into residential uses during the 6th Cycle Housing Element planning period, the City referred to expressed owner interest in developing housing or sites that are currently underutilized.
It should be noted that the City met with Coastal Development Group (CDG), a developer active in the City with a proposed multi-family project in process, on September 28, 2023, as part of the Stakeholder outreach process. The City provided the developer with a review of the Opportunity Sites proposed in the Housing Element. CDG was supportive of the Opportunity Sites, indicating substantial redevelopment potential, and specifically identifying Sites 6 (149 A. Avenue) & 7 (1515 2nd Street) in particular as having “phenomenal” redevelopment potential. As a large, multifamily residential parcel that is home to the three story, 549-unit Bayside at Coronado Apartments, CDG identified this site as having the most tremendous redevelopment potential. Furthermore, Sites 3 (1224 10th Street) & 4 (1001 C. Avenue) were also identified as having significant redevelopment potential and likely to garner interest from developers, Site 8 as a great location and lot size, and Sites 1 (919 C. Avenue) and 5 (150 B. Avenue) as good candidates for redevelopment as well.
The following section addresses the legal requirements outlined in California Government Code, Section 65583.2(g)(1) in more detail. It is not possible for the City to include an analysis of existing leases or other contracts, as this information is not publicly available. California Government Code, Section 65583.2(g)(1), states that, for nonvacant sites, the City shall specify the additional development potential for each site within the planning period and shall provide an explanation of the methodology used to determine the development potential. An explanation of development potential along with the projected unit methodology can be found in Table 7-14. Suitability of LowerIncome Sites, and in the Site Profiles earlier in this section. As a reminder, all Opportunity Sites contain lower-income units, all lower-income sites are Opportunity Sites, and all sites in the Site Inventory are Non-Vacant.

Section 7. Adequate Sites Inventory Analysis and Methodology Page 7- 39 Table 7-14. Suitability of Lower-Income Sites
California Government Code, Section 65583.2(g)(3), requires that existing residential units on non-vacant sites be replaced with units affordable to the same or lower-income level when demolished. More specifically, replacement housing must be provided for the following types of non-vacant sites:
• Sites that currently have residential uses; and
• Sites that had residential uses within the past 5 years, which have been vacated or demolished that:
o Are or were subject to a recorded covenant, ordinance, or law that restricts rents to levels affordable to persons and families of lower income;
o Are or were subject to any other form of rent or price control through a public entity’s valid exercise of its police power; or
o Are or were occupied by low or very low-income households.
No units with income restrictions, nor that are occupied by lower-income households, are planned to be demolished.
However, Site 2 involves the potential demolition of above market rate units only with three lower income units replacing these existing units.
Table 7-15. Sites with Planned Replaced Units, breaks down these 34 sites showing the net new calculation of the moderate-income level only units.

H. Senate Bill 1333 Requirements – “No Net Loss” Recent modifications to housing element law adopted through SB 1333, known as the “No Net Loss” provision, require that the City maintain adequate capacity to accommodate the remaining unmet portion of its RHNA target for each of the income categories throughout the 8-year Housing Element Planning Period. The City must also monitor housing production as the planning period progresses and ensure that the City does not reduce the housing capacity below what is needed to meet its RHNA target by income level through either of the following methods:
• Adoption of reductions in allowable residential densities for sites identified in the Sites Inventory through community plan update/amendment or rezoning.
• Approval of development or building permits for sites identified in the inventory that authorize the construction or development of fewer units (by income level) than identified as possible in the inventory.
In order to address the “No Net Loss” provisions, the City completed the following steps in preparing the Sites Inventory:
• Evaluated the need to reduce the estimates of site housing capacity based on topography, environmental features, site acreage, and expectations for mixed-use development. Where deemed appropriate, the City applied such reductions.

• Identified sufficient sites with housing capacity to provide a reasonable capacity buffer (15% of gross RHNA numbers for the lower-income levels and 15% for the moderate-income level) above the City’s RHNA targets to ensure that the City maintains adequate capacity to meet its targets.
The Housing Plan includes Program H-1.C. Mid-Cycle Review Program to maintain and update the Sites Inventory on an annual basis in connection with the preparation of the Annual Progress Report to ensure that the City maintains sufficient housing capacity.

Section 7. Adequate Sites Inventory Analysis and Methodology Page 7- 42 I. Assembly Bill 1486 City-Owned Land AB 1486, signed into State law in 2019, expands surplus property requirements for State and local government agencies. The bill includes amendments to State Law pertaining to Housing Elements to require that jurisdictions include government-owned sites that are zoned for residential use (both vacant and non-vacant) in the Sites Inventory.
In compliance with this requirement, the Sites Inventory includes two City owned sites. The City considers these publicly owned sites to be a significant potential source of lower-income housing development:
• Site 2 – Small, City Owned duplex parcel with a planned conversion to 3 lower-income units. • Site 8 – Majority City owned Police Department site with plans to develop 47 lower-income units.
Section C.6, Site Profiles, provides detailed information on these sites.
State law has established requirements and procedures for non-exempt surplus properties and the City will follow these laws and procedures in the process of planning for residential uses on the identified public-owned sites. More specifically, Section 8: Housing Plan contains Program H-4.D. AB 1486 City-Owned Land. The City will follow all requirements of the Surplus Land Act, Article 8 (commencing with Section 54220) of Chapter 5 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5, including holding a public hearing designating the properties as “surplus properties” under California Law. The City will also conduct an analysis to determine, based on market conditions, if selling or leasing the properties would maximize the development of affordable units. The City will then send a Notice of Availability to all required parties regarding the availability of City owned land available for purchase or lease. It is the City’s intent to facilitate the development of 100 percent affordable housing projects on vacant or underutilized City-owned sites.
The City will also coordinate with the public entities that own a site (or sites) to ensure that the legally mandated surplus property process is followed.
For the purposes of this Sites Inventory (and consistent with the provisions of AB 1486), the following types of Cityowned sites are not included in the inventory:
• Sites that are needed for existing or planned City use, including stormwater drainage, water storage, and delivery.
• Sites that have not been identified as potentially surplus and suitable for sale. • Sites that have been acquired by the City in relation to a legal claim. • Sites that are subject to a right-of-way easement that would need to be vacated by action of the City Council prior to potential housing permitting and development.

Section 7. Adequate Sites Inventory Analysis and Methodology Page 7- 43 J. Summary As stated above, through its Sites Inventory, the City has identified 110 sites adequate for development of housing that have the following characteristics:
• Alternative Methods to meet the RNHA include ADU Potential (Program H-1.A. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)) and Carriage House Conversion (Program H-4.A. Carriage House Program) Programs yielding 195 and 103 units, respectively.
o The 195 potential ADU units project 117 lower-income units with the 103 potential Carriage House Conversions projecting 72 lower-income units.
• Sites Inventory (Including Opportunity Sites and Pipeline sites) that is reasonably developable within the planning period for at least 975 net housing units.
o 10 Opportunity Sites make up 827 units, including 489 lower-income units. Site 10 contains 374 total units for Navy housing. These housing units were determined by HCD Enforcement Division in coordination with the US Navy and the City of Coronado. • 100 Pipeline (proposed/entitled/built) sites make up 146 above moderate-income units. o Each identified site is adjacent to developed land and/or is the subject of a proposed housing development project.
Based on the review of the documentation outlined in this section, each site has sufficient utility supply available and is accessible to support housing development.

Section 8: Housing Plan
The City of Coronado’s (City or Coronado) overall objective is to ensure that housing is available to current and future Coronado residents of all income levels. The goals of this Housing Element are formulated based on the findings of the Community Profile, Housing Constraints, Sites Inventory, and Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing sections of this document, in addition to input from the City Council, Planning Commission, City staff, and members of the public.
California Government Code (GOV) Section 65583(c) requires a program that sets forth a schedule of actions that the local government is undertaking or intends to undertake during the 6th Cycle Planning Period to implement the programs and achieve the goals and policies of the Housing Element. The Housing Plan describes the specific goals, policies, and programs to assist City decision-makers in achieving the long-term housing objectives outlined in the Coronado Housing Element. These goals, policies, and programs further the City’s overall housing policy goal to inspire a more diverse, sustainable, and balanced community through the implementation of strategies and programs that will result in economically and socially diversified housing choices that preserve and enhance the special character of Coronado.
The goals of this Housing Element are the foundation of the programs and actions the City desires to achieve over the 6th Cycle Planning Period. The City has identified the following overall housing goals for the 2021-2029 Housing Element Update:
• Housing Goal #1: Provide a broad range of housing opportunities to increase the housing options available to individuals.
• Housing Goal #2: Provide a broad range of affordable housing opportunities that serve the needs of people who work and live in Coronado.
• Housing Goal #3: Provide equal housing opportunities that are accessible to all segments of the Coronado community.
• Housing Goal #4: Encourage conservation and maintenance of Coronado’s housing stock, neighborhoods, and history.
• Housing Goal #5: Minimize governmental constraints to the development, improvement, and maintenance of housing, particularly affordable housing, or housing accessible to persons with disabilities. • Housing Goal #6: Promote environmentally sound policies and practices in residential development to reduce exposure to environmental hazards for all residents, including people of color.
The policies are specific statements that will guide decision-making. Policies serve as directives to developers, builders, service providers, decision-makers, and others who will initiate or review new development projects or seek to provide housing-related services in the City. Some policies stand alone as directives, but others require that additional actions be taken. These additional actions are listed as "programs." The programs are the core of the City's housing strategy. Programs translate goals and policies into actions. These include ongoing programs, procedural changes, Zoning Ordinance changes, and other actions that implement the housing policies and help achieve housing goals. Each program identifies the funding source, responsible party, and time frame for implementation.

Sites 2 and 8 are owned by the City and the City will follow all legal requirements of the California Surplus Land Act. When the City of Coronado designates a property as "surplus land" in accordance with the State Surplus Land Act, the Coronado City Council will formally declare it as surplus during a public hearing. After this declaration, the City will issue a Notice of Availability to eligible entities, which includes the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), any local public entity within the jurisdiction where the surplus land is situated, and developers who have informed HCD of their intent to develop affordable housing on such surplus local land. The City will work with interested developers who respond to the Notice of Availability to help facilitate the development of affordable housing.
Measurable Outcomes: Increased utilization of city-owned land for affordable housing including the development of Sites 2 (City Owned duplex parcel with a planned conversion to 3 lower-income units) and 8 (majority City-owned Police Department site with plans to develop 47 lower-income units) as identified in the Sites Inventory (Section 7) of the Housing Element.
Schedule of Action: The City will issue the Notice of Availability within one year of Housing Element certification for Site 2 and will make efforts to coordinate with the City Police Department and experienced mixed-use affordable housing developers regarding Site 8 by the end of FY 24/25.

Current Projects
• Arete Development – Completed 407 unit AH development with 270 set aside for perm-supportive housing for unhoused individuals, making at or below 30% AMI and balance of units at 40-60% AMI.
Second component of 81 units of veterans, 50% prioritized to unhoused vets and other 50% to low income vets. Currently working on downtown San Diego 200 unit projects of which both will be at or below 60% AMI, 30-60% AMI with some set aside for per-supportive housing, likely 20-35% set aside for unhoused.
No current initiatives in Coronado.
• Christ Church Peace and Justice Committee – Church is anticipating receipt of funding from Trinity Church Wall Street to help further development of housing and other uses on Church properties throughout the San Diego region.

2 Challenges and Constraints
• Constraints to affordable housing development include availability of land, density, and height limits. • Parking requirements.
• There is a need for more affordable housing options in the City, with an emphasis on senior and workforce housing for first responders (police, fire), seniors (very low, low income on social security and tourism workers).
• Short term rentals are a concern and the percentage of housing that are second homes. • Trend of multifamily zoned lots redeveloped with one large single-family home. • Opposition to affordable housing from community members may hinder the opportunity for further development.
Opportunities and Suggested Solutions
• Increasing the use of mixed-use zoning. The City should allow mixed use housing (ex. Christ Church interested in developing affordable housing on their property while retaining thrift shop on the premises). • The City could look at a potential tax on second or vacant homes and use for affordable housing. • Community education about what affordable housing really means and recent State laws that apply to all jurisdictions is needed.
• Tenant protections.
• Reduction on parking requirements.
• Recommended ADU policies – allow new ADUs on all new residential. • Increasing outreach on and incentivizing the development of accessory dwelling units (ADUs). • Consider subsidies for the cost of tuck under parking (like in Imperial Beach) and pursue grants for the cost of parking.
• Develop smaller square footage units but with livability. • Support for City pilot program to provide free door to door shuttle for 6 months. • Streamlining entitlements, increasing density and height limits for affordable housing developments, and providing parking concessions for affordable housing developments. • Obtain regular input from developers on City’s entitlement process.

Solutions to Meet RHNA (All)
Current Projects
• Project on Orange Ave. - bought 3 lots to build 12 units. Would go to 24 units if able to build affordable; paid the in-lieu fee.
Challenges and Constraints
• Land costs are very prohibitive.
• Cost of construction.
• Parking requirements.
• Density and height restrictions.
• Affordable units can affect the marketability of luxury units.

2 Opportunities and Suggested Solutions
• Increase in density and height limits along Orange Avenue for projects with affordable units. • Parking requirement set at 1 space/unit.
• No parking for ADU/carriage house units.
• Give parking concession for no parking if affordable. • Look at areas near schools, commercial so fewer complaints. • Lots that are 50' wide are easier to develop with parking. • San Diego is a good model - goes above State density bonus, zero parking requirements, FAR program vs. density, FAR bonus in certain areas of the City, Complete Housing Communities program, Micro units program.
Review of Opportunity Sites
• Sites 6 (149 A. Avenue) & 7 (1515 2nd Street) have “phenomenal” redevelopment potential. As a large, multifamily residential parcel that is home to the three story, 549-unit Bayside at Coronado Apartments, this site as has the most tremendous redevelopment potential. • Sites 3 (1224 10th Street) & 4 (1001 C. Avenue) also have significant redevelopment potential and are likely to garner interest from developers.
• Site 8 is a great location and lot size.
• Sites 1 (919 C. Avenue) and 5 (150 B. Avenue) are good candidates for redevelopment as well.

Lawn Bowling Green In Favor On behalf of the members of the Coronado Lawn Bowling Club, we fervently hope that you will authorize the "Replacement of the lawn bowling green surface, remediation of the base material, including fungus eradication measures, and implementation of drainage enhancements". The Spreckels Bowling Green has accommodated over 51,000 players since 2011 including daily play, tournaments, and community events. In 2017, community participation peaked with over 800 people attending Twilight Open Bowling on Thursday evenings in the summer months. While normal years see anywhere from 4,000 to 6,000 plays, this past Covid-19 year still saw 2,883 after two months of complete closure. All the activity on the green is managed by volunteers from the Coronado Lawn Bowling Club who also contribute 20 to 30 person-days of maintenance annually. We applaud the work of staff in assessing the scope of this project especially the recognition of the need for solutions to the drainage problems that resulted from the construction of the John D.
Spreckels Center as well as the 2010 existing drainage problems, which certainly shortened the life expectancy. Over the Covid-19 months, the bowling green provided a safe place for over 2,000 players playing according to an approved Physical Distancing and Safety Plan. Interest in lawn bowling has increased over previous years as people begin to see that it is an outdoor sport that can continue with safeguards through the difficulties. The John D. Spreckels Center Bowling Green is a community gem that, with proper preparation, installation and care will provide delight to the community for another 20 years.

tree removal In Opposition The pine trees on D Avenue, next to the lawn bowling on the public right of way should not be removed. They are public trees and belong to everyone in the community. I take pleasure in walking under those trees and enjoy the shade, especially on a warm day.
Additionally, the idea of taking a majestic torrey pine to appease the lawn bowlers is absurd. The city has already removed several trees to placate the lawn bowlers that were on the public right of way. The torrey pine is home to Great Blue Herrons and under the migratory bird act you cannot disturb a tree with active nests. This is against the law. Are you going to completely strip the area of any trees because the lawn bowlers say so. Already the city removed 16 mature trees to make way for the senior center and never mitigated the plantings as they said they would. The trees are in a park for all of the community to enjoy. The lawn bowlers can just live with the trees. The fact that they are using fake lawn is an ecological nightmare to begin with. It creates a heat island and on top of that, they water it to keep the sand down. Maybe if they did not water it they would not have the mushroom bloom that is happening. The mushrooms have nothing to do with the health of the trees. The mushrooms are there because they are water the fake lawn. It is creating the moisture that causes the mushrooms. DON'T TAKE OUT A SINGLE TREE. THIS IS A MISGUIDED ATTEMPT TO PLACATE THE LAWN BOWLERS. THE TREES IN THE PARK AND ON THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY BELONG TO THE CITIZENS OF CORONADO AND NOT TO THE LAWN BOWLERS. The fake lawn and the watering of it are causing the problem. Not the trees.

Removal of pines by lawn

In Opposition Mayor Bailey and the Coronado City Council, As a long time resident and a member of the Coronado Street Tree Committee, I'd like to express my fervent opposition to the absurd idea of removing the mature pine trees along D avenue in order to maintain a small plastic lawn used for lawn bowling. Talk about paving paradise.... In recent years alone I've seen so much of Coronado's special urban canopy taken down for such trivial issues as this, and I'm taken aback that anyone would find it reasonable to cut down trees that have grown and thrived for decades, that provide shade and beauty along our public sidewalks, in order to mitigate a fungus that may or may not impact a lawn bowler's game. A far more reasonable solution would be to lay a concrete barrier under the plastic lawn between it and the tree roots. That way we can preserve these special trees and also assuage the lawn bowlers' desire for a smooth synthetic lawn to practice their hobby. I implore you to preserve these trees- even the proposed idea to replace them does not suffice, given how long it takes for newly planted trees to achieve maturity and provide shade- these pines are a precious commodity that should not be cut down on a whim to protect some plastic grass. Thank you for your consideration. Samantha Bey 6 Carrie Downey 10c Review of Potential

Element Update
ADU and Carriage House In Opposition Dear Mayor and Council: You have a difficult job. I understand the update to the housing element puts conflicting forces promoting growth and density against Coronado residents who do not want to increase density or size and mass of allowable buildings and are proud of our town built within the RSIP standards we adopted to allow building within reason. All our good work is being thrown out by the state rules from the Coastal Commission, Housing Department, and CARB. All of the recent changes requiring ADUs, JADUs, and short-term rentals, have turned home ownership into an on-going business in each residence. As you evaluate how to make the new housing element meet state requirements and add more housing opportunities, I propose Coronado require existing housing units being rented for any length of time, and all ADUs and JADUs built ostensibly to be rented to others, be required to register as rental units, and acknowledge the regulations required of a California/Coronado landlord. Benefits of such a program include:
A. SAFETY: Requirement for safety equipment such as gates on pools and carbon dioxide and smoke detectors, and periodic fire inspections to insure only livable areas are being rented out. B. Address NUISANCES: By having a registered Landlord, the police and neighbors would have a focal point for concerns by neighbors and others in case of nuisances. C. RSIP COMPLIANCE: Developers seeking to violate RSIP FAR regulations by telling clients they can build larger houses by adding ADUs or JDUs, without actually renting them, will have to register the rental unit as part of the inspection process for the Occupancy permit for new construction.
D. INCOME: City can charge a small fee for regulating the business. E. PLANNING INFO: When the City is compiling numbers of housing stock, this program will better allow planners to understand what is being rented and where. According to the Housing numbers presented during the Housing Element workshops around half of the population live in homes they own, and half in homes they rent. It would help the School District and City planners to know if properties are being rented short-term=28 days, or longterm=> than 1 year. F. PREVENT ILLEGAL SHORT-TERM rentals: Registration and acknowledgement of the rules will alert any homeowner trying to rent property for less than 28 days, they are in violation and will be prosecuted. The Census says 1/2 our residents rent, lets find a way to make Coronado work for all of us. Carrie Downey Attachment 1

When I bought into the 500 block the lots were mixed between commercial, mixed use, government, etc. Then it was changed to R-4, either part of a previous Housing Element update or the Orange Avenue Specific Plan adoption.

Members of the Coronado City Council:
I’m very concerned about the plan to consider the parking lots next to City Hall as a potential site to accommodate affordable housing.
It will dramatically and adversely affect the traffic flow and boardwalk congestion. This will have a negative effect on tourism which is very important to the city of Coronado and to its economy.
Not to mention the significant loss of view corridors with the subsequent domino effect on property prices and property taxes.
I would like to sincerely request the city Council to delete this site as an option for this housing project.

Dear Jenifer. I have had my 2 Coronado Shores units for 27 years. I am very concerned with the rules of construction in the Isle. The greed and the bigotry is alarming. I have seen how a One unit property becomes Four or eight houses ! These regulations are surely mistaken and the prices will soon drop because of the problems of security and traffic. But most important , my alarm is on the issue of water. California has experienced difficult times because of the absence of rain. The construction of the 400 houses at our small
Island will
Compromise our efforts on the water issue. Please please tell Authorities that they must be more conscious of this.
Your sincerely. Virginia Aspe

Subject: 400 Housing Units at City Hall
THIS IS AN EXTERNAL EMAIL. Do not click links or open attachments unless you trust the sender and know the content is safe.
Mr. Brown,
I own a condo at 1820 Avenida Del Mundo, (El Mirador), located immediately north of the Seal Base. I am STRONGLY OPPOSED to the construction of 400 units across the street, known as the “City Hall” location for the following reasons:
1. The creation of such units is equivalent to three towers located at Coronado Shores. There is no location within Coronado that has greater population density than the Shores. Adding 30% more units creates unimaginable traffic problems. Ingress and egress from the Shores onto the Silver Strand is already difficult, not only because of the population at the Shores, but because of the residents and workers at the Base. It plainly makes no sense to take the most highly density area and exaggerate it beyond all reasonableness.
2. Individuals living at the proposed units will be employed either within the retail shopping area of Coronado, at the Naval Base, in San Diego, or at points south (Imperial Beach, Chula Vista). The traffic through the City to the Bridge, along Ocean Avenue to the Base, or southward is unimaginable today; the traffic will be impossible should the units be built at “City Hall.”
3. Parking is now a major problem. The current city parking is wholly inadequate today, particularly in the beach areas.
Assuming two cars per unit, an additional 800 cars plus guest cars will need to be parked somewhere, taking either more ground space (which is unavailable) or force underground or above ground parking facilities. Underground parking is terribly expensive given the low water table. Above ground destroys the visual appeal that has made Coronado the great city it is.
4. Depending how tall the buildings will be, the view from various condos within the Shores will be inhibited, reducing the value of those condos. The location does not do justice to those who have paid a heavy price/sq. ft. to acquire their condos with a view.
5. Given the desecration of value for various condos, a property tax relief from the Prop 13 is most likely not being offered. This only suggests that some people will be paying an extremely high tax rate relative to value (depressed).
This is not fair treatment. If there is an adjustment to “purchase price plus” under Prop 13, the tax revenue for the City of Coronado will be decreased at a time when school building and infrastructure needs are increased.
6. The local infrastructure of Coronado at “City Hall” cannot support the increase in the population. The impact on schools, the health care facilities and general trade is nothing but negative. Emergency runs to the hospital from the Shores will cause the loss of life given the cross-island nature of the City Hall location relative to the hospital with the increase in traffic.
7. Virtually the only food shopping capability is Von’s-a sad, dirty and currently too small-to- service store will be overwhelmed. Parking, not only a problem currently, will become horrendous should the units be built. 1 4

Hi Jerry,
My name is Marlys Badzin. My husband and I live in Minneapolis, MN and bought a unit in La Playa tower in the Shores development about 3 years ago.
During those three years, we have
Lived through Covid-19 delays, the additions and remodeling of the Del Coronado and the complete closure of the street and boardwalk closest to our building.
All these changes will be welcome and appreciated when they are finished, but I think I can speak for all residents at the Shores when I say, please do not add 1000 units to our very narrow space.
Traffic has been a nightmare, and the concept of adding another almost 1000 units, cars and congestion is unthinkable.
It will be a disaster.
At the same time, all of the fabulous public amenities across the street will be demolished. The new Coronado residents will not have a beach, a boat house, a swimming pool, etc that we ALL enjoy.
And I haven’t even touched on the fabulous new del Coronado hotel and the increased traffic that it will bring.
With so much congestion and density, property values (...so taxes) will drop.
I cast my vote for the Smart and Final property. It is near moderate retail and restaurants, conveniently located by the ferry. These establishments already exist and would provide employment opportunities for our new residents.
Please consider my concerns. We have been planning to retire here for many years. We are already in our 70’s, as are many of the residents here. I am asking that we can look ahead to the calm, bucolic life we came here to enjoy.
Thank you.
A grateful resident,
Marlys Badzin

THIS IS AN EXTERNAL EMAIL. Do not click links or open attachments unless you trust the sender and know the content is safe.
Dear Mr. Brown,
My husband and I own and live in Coronado Shores as full-time residents, and have for several years. After living in various homes in the City of San Diego, it had always been my dream to live in Coronado, and after a few decades, we finally achieved that goal. I love the historic charm and character of the village neighborhood, so I was much surprised and shocked to learn last week of the City’s plan to designate the City owned property occupied by City Hall, the City Recreation Center, Coronado Playhouse, the City Aquatics Center, Glorietta Bay Park and the City Boathouse as the site for 400 units of low income housing in the Housing Element Update in the Coronado General Plan. Such a housing designation will forever change the character of Coronado.
I understand that this is a very difficult decision to make, and one forced upon the City by the State and SANDAG to locate and designate 912 new dwelling units to meet its RHNA allocation of various levels of affordable housing. I have also just learned that the City Council on February 16, 2021 voted to place in your hands the arduous decision of selecting from a list of sites which to include in the Housing Element Update, delegating this most important decision to your discretion.
A review of the sites presented for your selection at the City Council hearing identifies 1,632 total new dwelling units, of which 400 proposed on the City Civic property can be eliminated from the list and still exceed the 912 required housing units, leaving 1,232 remaining, plenty of cushion to meet the “No Net Loss” requirement. I understand the City must provide not only 912 housing units, but those are to be categorized into levels of affordable housing, including 481 units of low income housing. The City’s list of sites includes 828 units of low income housing. Removing the 400 units from the City Civic property (all low income units) leaves a remainder of 428 low income units, a shortfall of 52 units. However, there exist 797 moderate income housing units on the City’s list, from which 53 could be moved to low income by increasing the conservative percentage allocations made to low income in the “Existing Zoning Parcels” (currently 98 low income/225 moderate income) and the “Existing Parcels with Rezones” (currently 530 low income/484 moderate income). A much better alternative than use the City Civic property, with all its public government buildings which were completely redeveloped not too long ago, to concentrate and squeeze 400 living units on that site, all of which is under the jurisdiction of the California Coastal Commission.
In making you decision, please consider that once a site has been designated and certified by the State, it cannot be “undesignated”. It is required to be rezoned for the designated use within three years of the 1 10
City of Coronado Page 410
Attachment 1
approved designation and later incorporated in the City’s General Plan. Both rezones and General Plan Amendments must comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and are subject to administrative appeals and court review.
Please also give serious consideration to the recent survey of Coronado residents conducted by the City which shows its residents 1) do not support increased density, such as the 47 units/acre which will be necessary on the City Civic property, and 2) their desire to maintain existing neighborhood character, which will be completely lost by concentrating 400 housing units on the City’s property, along with the significant impacts such a development will have on traffic, parking, noise and City services.
Thank you for your attention to this most important matter.

Dear Mr. Brown:
I am a resident at 1710 Avenida Del Mundo in Coronado. I am an owner in the La Playa Tower at Coronado Shores.
I appreciate your apparent attempts to follow the law. However, the suggestion to place 400 units across from the Coronado Shores seems substantially impractical. I base my opinion on two very real and obvious conditions. The first is The Strand, or more descriptively, the extension of Orange Avenue past the Hotel del Coronado, is a major ingress and egress for the military who are stationed at North Island. Every morning, some midday and certainly every evening, literally hundreds, if not more, vehicles utilize this corridor to reach and leave the base. Further, the Naval Amphibious Base (NAB Coronado), has hundreds more military using the same corridor. I suppose on some level this is a national defense issue, but setting that aside, the congestion that would result would be extreme. Secondly, the Hotel del Coronado itself, the largest employer in the City, obviously has again hundreds of guests and visitors all year round utilizing the same corridor to access its premises. While there certainly are challenges to executing provisions for housing in the City, this proposal lacks the foresight of the gridlock that would result from such a proposal. I realize that the City of Coronado has limited open space available. Although it may have already been considered, but the area along the bay and the park, adjacent to the Coronado Bridge might be an appropriate area for housing. Further, the traffic pattern for proposed housing, leaving Coronado in the morning and returning in the evening, would be opposite the traffic patterns for the military in their ingress and egress to North Island utilizing the Coronado Bridge.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this issue.

THIS IS AN EXTERNAL EMAIL. Do not click links or open attachments unless you trust the sender and know the content is safe.
Mr. Brown, my husband and I own a unit in Coronado Shores, and I'm writing to express opposition to your plan to put 400 housing units across the street from this nearly 1500 unit complex. We bought our unit after vacationing in Coronado for over 20 years, and we did it because the town is well-run, safe and relatively quiet. A large portion of our fellow owners are elderly, frequently frail and with underlying health conditions. They live here because they feel secure. This proposal will change that: traffic will explode past the current rush hour traffic, parking is already impossible, and the safe, quiet places where we older folks feel comfortable will cease to exist.
Please reconsider. This placement of the 400 units helps nobody. The current residents of Coronado Shores will see a degradation in quality of life, and the City will see a decrease in property taxes as the units lose resale value.
There has to be another solution--perhaps taking a segment of the golf course and a segment of Tidelands Park where they abut the highway? Those areas have minimal housing near them and would provide some access to the bridge.
I know you're in a no-win situation, but some solutions are worse than others. This is just about the worst one possible.

Coronado, CA 92118
Dear Mr. Brown,
I received notification from my Condominium Association No. 8, located at 1810 Avenida del Mundo, Coronado, CA, regarding the California policy named “Regional Housing Needs Allocation”. I am writing this letter to express my complete opposition to the construction of 400 very low income housing units on the parking lot corresponding to your offices located on Strand Way, Coronado.
As you must be aware working next to the 1631-1775 Strand Way Parking, the location already suffers from heavy automobile and pedestrian traffic especially at the intersection of Strand Way and Orange Ave. I have personally witnessed pedestrians and bicycle riders not respecting the signals running into oncoming traffic. The intersection is already dangerous, and having the entrance to a dense housing project along the south of Strand Way will only exacerbate the already jammed traffic situation.
I have been a long-time resident of Coronado Shores, since 1970 when I was a child living here with my family. I have seen Coronado morph into a tourist attraction, making the life of residents turn from a peaceful community alienated from the problems of the city of San Diego, into a town now repleated with non-residents who bring deteriorating living conditions to its residents: unable to turn onto side streets from Orange Ave due to pedestrian congestion, an ever lasting number of cars cruising without a purpose, overcrowded sidewalks, beaches and bicycle paths, and of course the everlasting traffic jam, to name a few. I am sure visitors have been good for the local economy, but adding 400 low income housing units at the proposed location will worsen the already overcrowded and congested situation our city suffers, and will directly affect adversely all residents of Coronado Shores across the street.
Living in Coronado is not cheap. From gas to groceries to transportation. Does it make sense to provide government subsidized housing to individuals with limited income so they find themselves having to spend more on basic needs?
I am a resident concerned about the well being of the City of Coronado, a place I love and consider unique in this country. I ask that you help manage uncontrolled housing growth in order to maintain what is left of our village life.
Sincerely,
1 71

Dear Jenniffer Ekblad, Coronado City Clerk
As owners at Cabrillo Tower in The Coronado Shores since 1994 we’ve recently been made aware by the Cabrillo board that the California Department of Housing and Community Development is proposing as a potential site for 400 affordable housing units under the Regional Housing Needs Allocation program , the Strand Way lot located across the street and directly in front of Cabrillo Tower.
We are reaching out to communicate our strong opposition to this property being considered as a possible site for such a densely populated and overwhelming housing project. This will directly affect our property and the way we live by overwhelming our boardwalks, increasing traffic and will obstruct our view corridors tremendously among other collateral impacts that will compromise the value of all the Coronado Shores porperties. 1 73
City of Coronado Page 476
Attachment 1
We ask for your consideration on the removal of the Strand Way location as a possible plot for this development; we are positive there must be alternative sites that will allow for good opportunities for affordable housing that will not affect the local communities with such a strong adverse impact.

Ana Paula Velasquez, Francisco De Alba, Juan de Alba, Ana Paula De Alba. 2 74

PETITION OPPOSING DESIGNATION OF THE CITY HALL SITE FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING Dear Jesse Brown,
We oppose the City’s designation of the City Hall property to be used for affordable housing in the Housing Element Update of the City’s General Plan. A survey of Coronado residents conducted by the City shows its citizens do not want increased density and do want to maintain existing neighborhood character. Both desires will be violated by designating the proposed 400 affordable housing units on the current City Hall property.
City staff has determined that the State mandated affordable housing can be spread out throughout the City utilizing existing capacity for residential units and ADUs, designating vacant military sites, and potential rezones at smaller targeted areas along Orange Ave. and other commercial sites. Concentrating 400 affordable housing units on the City Hall property will have a substantial detrimental affect on an already congested area of Strand Blvd., as well as increase traffic, noise and crowds, resulting in a significant impact that will forever change the existing charming neighborhood character of Coronado.

As a resident of Coronado, and specifically the Coronado Shores I take exception of low housing being located by the current city hall complex. Traffic is at horrendous levels currently in the area and pedestrian crossing is currently very dangerous. Locating additional housing will only further exacerbate these problems.
Please make my voice heard to the city, county and state.
Let me know if you require further info.

Hi Jennifer
In 1973 my family purchased a condominium in Coronado Shores that was under construction. The fabric of Coronado is unique to other communities. It is like walking back in time. Please do not approve this location for housing units. This area would be overwhelmed with traffic including pedestrian traffic on our boardwalks. In addition, a loss of view corridors. We urge the City Council to remove this site from the plan. Thank you for your consideration,

Mr. Brown: I write as an owner of a unit in Coronado Shores to express my opposition to locating what I understand to be 400 housing units in what are now the parking lots adjacent to City Hall. This section of Orange Avenue/Silver Strand is already extremely active, and the addition of this large number of units will only make a difficult situation much worse. It's hard to understand why the City would pick this congested area to jam hundreds of units into, when, for example, there is so much open land between the naval base and Imperial Beach. And this is to say nothing of what becomes of all the cars who currently use these lots. Street parking on that stretch of the Silver Strand is always at a premium. There is simply no ability to absorb any more cars in terms of parking. I realize there is a hint of "NIMBY" in this, but the property that has been identified as the site of this proposed housing simply makes no logical sense in terms of the impact it will have on the immediate area. I find it difficult to believe this is the best location. Thank you for your consideration.

Mr. Brown,
I write to you as a unit owner and resident of The Shores. I am STRONGLY OPPOSED to the construction of 400 units across the street, known as the “City Hall” location for the following reasons:
1. The creation of such units is equivalent to three towers located at Coronado Shores. There is no location within Coronado that has greater population density than the Shores. Adding 30% more units creates unimaginable traffic problems.
Ingress and egress from the Shores onto the Silver Strand is already difficult, not only because of the population at the Shores, but because of the residents and workers at the Base. It plainly makes no sense to take the most highly density area and exaggerate it beyond all reasonableness.
2. Individuals living at the proposed units will be employed either within the retail shopping area of Coronado, at the Naval Base, in San Diego, or at points south (Imperial Beach, Chula Vista). The traffic through the City to the Bridge, along Ocean Avenue to the Base, or southward is unimaginable today; the traffic will be impossible should the units be built at “City Hall.”
3. Parking is now a major problem. The current city parking is wholly inadequate today, particularly in the beach areas. Assuming two cars per unit, an additional 800 cars plus guest cars will need to be parked somewhere, taking either more ground space (which is unavailable) or force underground or above ground parking facilities. Underground parking is terribly expensive given the low water table.
Above ground destroys the visual appeal that has made Coronado the great city it is.
4. Depending how tall the buildings will be, the view from various condos within the Shores will be inhibited, reducing the value of those condos. The location does not do justice to those who have paid a heavy price/sq. ft. to acquire their condos with a view.
5. Given the desecration of value for various condos, a property tax relief from the Prop 13 is most likely not being offered. This only suggests that some people will be paying an extremely high tax rate relative to value (depressed). This is not fair treatment. If there is an adjustment to “purchase price plus” under Prop 13, the tax revenue for the City of Coronado will be decreased at a time when school building and infrastructure needs are increased.

Dear Miss Ekblad,
I represent three properties at the Coronado Shores, I am very worried in relation to a planed development of 400 units of affordable housing across the Silver Strand.
I want to let you know that I strongly oppose this development, since it will very negatively affect all the owners at the Coronado Shores, do to the increase in traffic, the possible lack of water, the blocking of our view and and the crowding of our boardwalks.
Therefore I am asking the City Council to remove this planned project across the Silver Strand.

I am writing as a 20 year homeowner in Coronado concerning the above named future Housing proposal.
The proposal to locate additional housing along Glorietta Bay in Coronado by relocation or modification of City Hall and our Community Center would unacceptably give rise to excessive increases in traffic congestion, air pollution, and noise pollution along Glorietta Bay over and above the extremely high population density preexisting in that small area of Coronado.
These decrements in quality of life will certainly lead to countless complaints to state & local government agencies and elected officials along with marked impairments to existing property valuations which will further burden San Diego county homeowners.
Weekends and Holidays presently are witness to restricted access to the Coronado Beach due to limited parking availability. Further housing is this corridor will severely exacerbate Californians access to this outstanding public natural resource. Our government has a responsibility to maximize rather than minimize access to these public assets.
Thank you for soliciting and considering the views of those of us whom seek to build a thriving, sustainable and livable California community.

Dear Mr. Brown,
As a Senior planner for the City of Coronado, I am writing in STRONG opposition to the affordable housing site proposed on CA 75/Silver Strand. I URGE the city council to remove this site from the proposed recommendations. The density that 400 units would provide on the narrow isthmus is preposterous. The traffic, congestion and noise is already at an extreme level. If any council member would like to live in my condo for one day, they will hear the profound noise pollution..If any council member would like to dodge cars, bikes and people in the crosswalks from Avenida de las arenas and CA 75, I ask them to try this with conditions the way they currently are. It is impossible to add 400 housing units to this system at this location. IT WILL BREAK. Please strike this location from the recommendation to the STATE...It is NOT feasible on so many levels.
Please recommend open land like the parks, where there are roundabouts,, and access from many locations off of the streets...
I IMPLORE YOU TO REMOVE THE SILVER STRAND location for 400 housing units.

I write you , because we are not agree with the proposed new housing project to be built on the Coronado City. Our city doesnt have all the infraestructure necessary to built 1001 units.
Thank you for undertstand.
Sincerely
Kind regards

Subject: Public Comment on Low Income Housing in Coronado THIS IS AN EXTERNAL EMAIL. Do not click links or open attachments unless you trust the sender and know the content is safe.
Good afternoon all,
My name is John Graham and I have been an owner in La Sierra of the Coronado Shores since 2004. While I have been a homeowner since 2004, my frequent trips to Coronado span back nearly six decades. My address is 1720 Avenida del Mundo Coronado, CA 92118.
I have been in real estate development my entire life. I am well into my fourth decade in this business, and I have earned a sterling reputation doing such. I have worked in nearly every municipality in Maricopa County (the 4th largest County in America by population) and Pima County Arizona, as well as in Texas, Georgia, and others. My company, Sunbelt Holdings, has personally developed over 50,000 acres of raw land into residential, commercial, and industrial uses. We have built the largest single tenant commercial office building in the State of Arizona and many other large projects that have meaningful impact on infrastructure. This acreage equates to nearly 2 ½ times the size of the City of Coronado.
I have reviewed the City of Coronado Draft Housing Element Update which calls for nearly 400 low and very low income R-5 density housing units across the street from the Coronado Shores where a parking lot currently sits. Quite frankly, it is one of the most poorly planned and ill advised ideas I have ever seen. It does not take into account the absolutely overwhelming burden such development will place on the local streets, the burden it will place on city services, and the burden it will place on residents.
I cannot place the blame on the City of Coronado, however, as they have been mandated to find places for over 1,000 low income housing units in a completely developed City. We are bordered on three sides by ocean and cannot pull land out of thin air. Further, developing infrastructure for such a large and rapid growth will cost millions. The sanitary sewer, water supply, electrical grid, natural gas, fire suppression services, emergency medical services, and police services will all need to be augmented. Money does not grow on trees, so how do you suggest we fund such infrastructure development. It is particularly in poor taste to launch this on Coronado, a city that relies so heavily on tourism as their primary source of income when the tourism industry has been nearly dead for the past year.
Coronado is only predicted to grow in population by 1% in the next 30 years, so how do you suppose 1,000 new units fit into that growth? Do you suggest we disrupt the environment more, dredge out of the bay and build on this newly destroyed ecosystem? Or perhaps build more on the coast and destroy our coastline even more.
Bills such as SB9, introduced by Senator Atkins totally disadvantages smaller cities and eclipses any sense of local control. Small cities such as Imperial Beach, Carlsbad, Del Mar, Solana Beach, and Coronado are placed in an unfair situation.

Attachment 1
I of course understand the need for low income housing, and further understand the need for every single municipality to participate in developing a fair share of low income housing. However, SANDAG and the State of California have completely neglected the fact that Coronado has a very low percentage of undeveloped land available for such units.
Further, it ignores the fact that we have a large percentage of land controlled by the Federal Government that is not able to be developed into such units. Finally, it ignores the fact that our population does fluctuate significantly given seasonal residency and military residency.
I urge you to stand up for your constituents and make sure that percentage of undeveloped land, projected population growth, seasonal and military residency, and land controlled by the Federal Government be taken into account whenever these allocations of low income housing are made. So far, any allocations that have been made have neglected these extremely important factors. Anything less is a complete abdication of duty and shows that you are turning your back on your constituents. Senator Atkins, Assemblymember Ward, and SANDAG Board of Directors, it is time to do what is right for your communities.
Please contact me directly via email or my cell phone,
assistance.
if you have any questions or if I can be of
Respectfully,
John Graham

Subject: Coronado Waterfront
THIS IS AN EXTERNAL EMAIL. Do not click links or open attachments unless you trust the sender and know the content is safe.
Dear Mr Brown. I am a resident of both New York and Coronado, having spent winters and vacations here for 30 years and living here virtually full time for the last 5. In New York, I live in Greenwich Village, a delightful enclave in lower Manhattan, with Washington Square Park at its heart. Several years ago New York University bought part of the block adjacent to the park and built a library. It hovers over the park and has negatively changed the area since it is totally out of character for Greenwich Village. That is why I am writing to you about the suggestion to erect a “tower” in the “City Hall” area of Coronado. It will destroy the character of this beautiful stretch of waterfront - in my mind the most beautiful in all of Coronado. The Yacht Club, the historic restaurant, the boats anchored and often rented to visitors, the Civic Center, Coronado Playhouse and even the tiny Children’s Playground, all give Coronado it’s unique character. The proposed building will change this area forever. Coronado is a tourist destination. Without tourists, the city’s economy would collapse. That almost became reality because of COVID. This waterfront area fronts Coronado’s Beach, our major attraction. The Del is upgrading its Avenida del Sol entrance and both beach goers and hotel guests will use it.
The other access, Avenida Arenas, runs right through Coronado Shores to a tiny parking area that fills up early - virtually every day of the year. Beach goers then park along Silver Strand and fan out along nearby streets. This huge building will overwhelm the parking situation and many visitors will throw up their hands and head to Mission Beach.
The other major draw here is The Civic Center and Coronado Playhouse. The Center offers programs for Coronadans of all ages- from toddlers to seniors. Many of the children come on their own, after school or all day during the summer, often on bicycles. Overcrowding will cause parents to be concerned for their children’s safety. The Playhouse depends on locals but primarily on San Diegans and tourists. Where will they park ? What about safety concerns with so many people in this small area?
Finally, Silver Strand is virtually as traffic clogged as 3rd and 4th Streets. The Shores residents, people working at the adjoining Naval Base and other Naval facilities along Rte 75, arrive en masse in the morning and the traffic leaving in the afternoon is backed up for blocks and hours.
I recognize that Coronado is faced with a very difficult situation not of it’s own making. Hopefully, continued action on our part will manage to change these absurd requirements but faced with this dilemma, the only solution is to build these units in outlying residential areas and not on the Waterfront - not in the part of the city that is already crowded and adds so much to the quality of life for all Coronadans and visitors. Thank you for your attention and for your service to the community. Harriet Greenberg. El Mirador, Coronado Shores.

Mr. Brown,
I write to you as a unit owner and resident of The Shores. I am STRONGLY OPPOSED to the construction of 400 units across the street, known as the “City Hall” location for the following reasons:
1. The creation of such units is equivalent to three towers located at Coronado Shores. There is no location within Coronado that has greater population density than the Shores. Adding 30% more units creates unimaginable traffic problems. Ingress and egress from the Shores onto the Silver Strand is already difficult, not only because of the population at the Shores, but because of the residents and workers at the Base. It plainly makes no sense to take the most highly density area and exaggerate it beyond all reasonableness.
2. Individuals living at the proposed units will be employed either within the retail shopping area of Coronado, at the Naval Base, in San Diego, or at points south (Imperial Beach, Chula Vista). The traffic through the City to the Bridge, along Ocean Avenue to the Base, or southward is unimaginable today; the traffic will be impossible should the units be built at “City Hall.”
3. Parking is now a major problem. The current city parking is wholly inadequate today, particularly in the beach areas. Assuming two cars per unit, an additional 800 cars plus guest cars will need to be parked somewhere, taking either more ground space (which is unavailable) or force underground or above ground parking facilities. Underground parking is terribly expensive given the low water table. Above ground destroys the visual appeal that has made Coronado the great city it is.
4. Depending how tall the buildings will be, the view from various condos within the Shores will be inhibited, reducing the value of those condos. The location does not do justice to those who have paid a heavy price/sq. ft. to acquire their condos with a view.
5. Given the desecration of value for various condos, a property tax relief from the Prop 13 is most likely not being offered. This only suggests that some people will be paying an extremely high tax rate relative to value (depressed). This is not fair treatment. If there is an adjustment to “purchase price plus” under Prop 13, the tax revenue for the City of Coronado will be decreased at a time when school building and infrastructure needs are increased.
6. The local infrastructure of Coronado at “City Hall” cannot support the increase in the population. The impact on schools, the health care facilities and general trade is nothing but negative. Emergency runs to the hospital from the Shores will cause
the loss of life given the cross-island nature of the City Hall location relative to the hospital with the increase in traffic.

Dear Jesse Brown
I am Lola Guindi. Resident in La Playa building in Coronado Shores.
My family and I are totally against the increase in housings units in front of Coronado Shores.
It will mean increase vehicle and pedestrian traffic, increase security costs, an loss of views.
And most important the magic of what Coronado is.
It is a terrible idea. It will impact Coronado life as well as Coronado Shores.
I don’t know if the Planning Comisión is counting also the places where the soldiers live and all the marinas where also people live.
It is a really terrible idea.
We would like our voices heard.

Jesse and Mayor Bailey,
Thank you for all your work you do for Coronado. I am against any low income buildings being built on the bay side. Realistic planning wouldn't place low income residents where they have miles to travel to afford life's necessities. I am aware Sacramento isn't all that smart but ruining the bay views and cramming in a building is idotic. Here's hoping better plans prevail.

Re: Comments on City of Coronado 2021-2029 Housing Element Draft (DRAFT) From: Stephanie Kaupp
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on Coronado’s DRAFT Housing Element for the 6th Housing Cycle.
Following are a number of suggestions for revising the DRAFT and development of Coronado’s FINAL Housing Element.
Public Engagement and Participation:
More public participation opportunities should be made available during the revision phase of the DRAFT to ensure public engagement is “a vital component to the Housing Element update process”.
As part of the process, access to the DRAFT needs to be made more accessible to the public by adding a condensed “printer friendly” version to the website. The file size of the current DRAFT is Over 31 MB, too large to email or easily print at home. A condensed version of the file at 8 MB was submitted to City staff, but still not posted on the City’s site.
Hard copies of the DRAFT were recently made available at City Hall for a nominal fee. However, the public was not notified of this option. Residents who aren’t computer literate, or don’t have the capability of accessing and printing the document, would have appreciated obtaining a copy from the City.
Further the City has not done an adequate job meeting the requirements of 65583 of the Government Code “to make diligent and continued efforts to achieve meaningful public participation, and ensure that a variety of stakeholders and community members are offered a platform to engage in the City’s planning process.”
For example:
* Community Workshop (October 29, 2020) - 36 people participated * Online Housing Element Update Survey (October 14 - November 23, 2020) - 37 responses * City Council Meeting February 16, 2021- Review of Potential Housing Policies and Opportunity Sites - inadequate based on community response.
With the significant number of petitions, emails, and letters in opposition to the Council’s decision to vote and “move forward with the recommended site inventory summary as is”, it’s evident the public was not informed of the significance of the meeting, Not until the Coronado Eagle published an article summarizing the actions taken by the Council and adding the list of proposed sites for high density housing did the public get energized and involved with the process. 135
City of Coronado Page 538
Attachment 1
The project schedule in the DRAFT indicates two additional Community Workshops and Public Hearings are scheduled for 2021. Dates for these events should be publicized as soon as possible in order that residents who are interested in attending can plan accordingly.
Questionnaires mailed directly to residents should also be considered. The previous online survey proved to be inadequate based on the small number of responses received.
Additional Zoom meetings similar to the one Mayor Bailey held with residents at the Coronado Shores is another way to update the public, obtain feedback, and improve public engagement and participation. Residents want to be involved with the process and work with the City on finding solutions to Coronado’s housing dilemma.
Response to Public Comment:
The City should respond in a reasoned manner to the comments received, summarized in a spreadsheet and included in the REVISED DRAFT for public review. The comments and responses should also be included in Coronado’s FINAL Housing Element for submittal to HCD.
Public comments from all sources (emails, letters, faxes, petitions, etc.) sent to the Mayor, Councilmembers, and Planning Department should be included, as well as feedback obtained from surveys, public workshops, hearings, zoom meetings, and Council meetings that pertain to the City’s existing and projected housing needs.
Data Analysis:
More thorough research and quantified analysis is needed. Although the state only requires an “inventory and “identification” of suitable and adequate sites that have the potential for redevelopment, the City should go further and assure the public that the potential sites selected for housing do not impact the health and safety of residents, or the environment.
To meet the requirements of HCD, the City must ensure that “Goals, programs and policies, and quantified objectives within the Housing Element are consistent with state law and are implemented with a designated timeline to ensure the City accomplishes the identified action as well as maintains compliance with state law”.
Data Sources:
Active links to the referenced data sources should be included to allow for public access and review.
Current data specific to Coronado population, number of residents in each district/area near sites proposed for high density housing, traffic counts, vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle collision data, all need to be analyzed prior to finalizing the proposed “Site Inventory List”.
Coronado’s Active Transportation Plan - Adopted by the City Council September 4, 2018 According to the City’s website:
“The Active Transportation Plan is a strategic document which includes a Pedestrian Master Plan, a Safe Routes to School Plan, and a Bicycle Master Plan”.
Coronado’s Active Transportation plan was a project supported by SANDAG as part of the TransNet Active Transportation Grant Program and developed for Coronado to identify and prioritize existing pedestrian, bicycle, and other non-automobile transportation issues affecting Coronado. The Active Transportation Master Plan provides a set of recommendations to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety throughout the City.”
136
City of Coronado Page 539
Attachment 1
Collision Locations:
A total of 47 collisions involving people who were walking were reported in Coronado during the fiveyear analysis period. Figure 2-13 on the following page displays the location of these collisions across Coronado. The majority of collisions involving people who were walking occurred along Caltrans roadways that provide intercommunity connections, including Third Street, Fourth Street, Orange Avenue (SR-75), and Silver Strand Boulevard (SR-75). An additional concentration of collisions occurred in the northeast area of the City, along First and Second Streets.
Collisions involving people walking were examined by roadway location, differentiating between intersection and mid block locations. The majority of collisions occurred at intersection locations, 36 out of 47 collisions (76.6%).
Supporting Data:
The above numbers do not include current data or “near misses”. Vehicle traffic at the intersection of 1st and Orange in particular has become extremely hazardous for pedestrians and bicyclists, due to the significant increase in Navy traffic going to and from NASNI.
Although bike lanes have been installed along 1st Street, due to traffic congestion and narrow streets, bikes and surreys are now going the wrong way in the bike lanes in order to get to and from the Ferry Landing and other destinations in the North City area of Coronado.
Further, with the Port’s plans to redevelop the Ferry Landing, vehicle traffic, bike and pedestrian collisions, risks to public health and safety will increase even more.
Although HCD does not consider “lack of infrastructure” to be an impediment, health and safety does take precedence. The City needs to take a balanced and “safe housing approach” when analyzing which sites and areas are safe for adding high density housing.
Community Profile and Population Characteristics:
Military population data with duty location at Coronado bases needs to be updated to include the increase in military personnel and the need for military housing on military property.
Housing for Vets
The Navy should allow affordable housing for veterans on the 36.9 acre military parcel listed in the DRAFT.
Veteran housing in this area would be located near public transportation to VA Hospitals and support services throughout the San Diego region.
The City should also lobby the Navy to allow affordable housing for enlisted personnel on military land.
This would also meet SANDAG’s requirements for providing housing near public transportation and job sites, reduce transit times, and reduce GHG emissions SANDAG’s 6th Cycle Regional Housing Needs Methodology:
In addition to state housing element law, state law associated with development of Regional Transportation Plans (RTPs) requires that there be consistency between transportation planning, development of housing, and reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. (See Government Code Sections 65080 and 65584.) Increased use of public transportation leads to reduced GHG emissions compared to driving alone. This is why the methodology was developed with an eye toward maximizing access between public transportation and all housing types. 137
City of Coronado Page 540
Attachment 1
Residential Development Standards:
The maximum building heights listed in the DRAFT should include the number of stories allowed for each zone designation to give the public a better description of what is allowed.
For example, building heights in the R-5 Zone (currently proposed for the North Commercial Rezone), is 150 feet, “no more and no less”. This computes to 13 stories in height, similar in height to buildings at the Coronado Shores. Building structures of this height will block existing residential views, in violation of Coronado’s building rules and regulations.
Coronado is entirely within the jurisdiction of the California Coast Act, which preserves, enhances, and where possible, restores views to the bay and beach for all of the people as stated and intended by the Coastal Act of 1976.
Coronado’s Local Coastal Program designates Orange Avenue from Third Street to the Bay as a “view corridor”.
The California Coastal Commission regulates land use within a defined coastal zone. Any changes in Local Coastal Program view corridors that restrict or obscure views to the bay or beach need to be submitted to the California Coastal Commission for approval.
In addition, the Open Space Element of Coronado’s General Plan on View Preservation states that “Because of their significant aesthetic and psychological values, the City encourages the preservation. of scenic corridors and view sheds. When possible the City shall, in coordination with Federal and State agencies, and the private sector, also support the Element of view corridors or view sheds.” Restrict R-5 Zoning:
To prevent building excessively high buildings like the Coronado Shores, the City should not allow R-5 zoning at any location in the City. All development should meet the City’s building rules and regulations and not exceed the City’s 40 foot height limit.
A section on the zoning process and procedures, including public notification, public hearings, and time frame should also be included in the revised DRAFT and FINAL Housing Element Housing Plans and Goals - Program 1E: North Commercial Properties Rezone:
The DRAFT refers to “certain parcels” located in the North Commercial Rezone. This should be rephrased and state the “Smart & Final Site” and the “Broadstone Parking Lot”.
Further, these two sites are currently designated as one parcel to meet HCD’s acre requirements for high density low income housing. These sites do not share boundaries and should be analyzed as separate sites.
This would allow a more thorough analysis to determine if each individual site is suitable for high density housing other than the total acreage of both sites allows for 47 high density units per acre.
Further, the current Smart & Final leasehold extends for another 5 years with an option for a 2 year extension. The HCD requirements state construction must be completed within 36 months from the date the Housing Element is adopted. If the property owner has plans to develop the site for high density housing, then the leasehold agreement and any potential building plans and zoning requirements should be made available to the public prior to considering this site for high density housing.
The City should take a more balanced and equitable approach and locate housing sites in additional areas spread throughout the City to prevent impacting any one area with high density, excessively tall buildings used primarily for housing
138
City of Coronado Page 541
Attachment 1
The Smart & Final and Broadstone Parking lot in the North Commercial Rezone should not be included in the proposed Site Inventory List.
Additional Proposed Housing Sites:
To reduce the impacts of high density housing and to take a more equitable and balanced approach, the City should consider adding the following to the list of proposed affordable housing sites:
* Coronado Police Station
* Library and Senior Center
* AT & T Building
* Additional housing above businesses along Orange Avenue including the downtown area * Increased housing at the Coronado Retirement Village
* Housing above local churches
* Housing units in hotels for service workers
* Parcels in the Coronado Cays along the Silver Strand
* Low rise housing on City Hall property and other public and private properties * Incentives for apartment owners including the Shores and Broadstone to offer affordable housing * Incentives to private property owners of ADU’s and carriage houses to offer affordable housing * Incentives to public and and private property owners to offer affordable housing to military personnel, first responders and service workers
Time Frame:
If more time is required for public participation, revisions to the DRAFT and development of the FINAL Housing Element, the City should consider asking HCD for a time extension. With COVID restrictions placed on holding public meetings and reducing city operations, operational hours and on-site services, the difficulty of developing a Housing Element under these conditions is a legitimate reason for the City to ask for more time.
Conclusion:
I hope the City and the public can work together to identify sties for affordable housing that benefits and not detracts from the community. The more involvement by the public the greater the opportunity for finding creative solutions to meet our housing requirements. A considerate approach to a neighborhood’s needs. Simply building more affordable housing isn’t enough by itself. 139

Dear Mr. Brown:
I am an old resident of San Diego since 1977, in my old age I decided to move to beautiful Coronado for its peace and tranquility.
Now I have found a tremendous increase in traffic noise and most probably with the expansion of the Hotel del Coronado it will explode to more traffic and more people and noise and unfortunately more accidents.
Now I have been informed of the possibility to increase more traffic more people and a tremendous high density of housing just across the street of the building I live in Coronado Shores.
This is something I never expected to be possible in this community that’s supposed to be quiet and tranquil.
I urge you to oppose to this potential development that will forever change this area. Security and tranquility will never be the same.
Respectfully, and Best Regards

Mr. Brown,
I write to you as a unit owner and resident of The Shores. I am STRONGLY OPPOSED to the construction of 400 units across the street, known as the “City Hall” location for the following reasons:
1. The creation of such units is equivalent to three towers located at Coronado Shores. There is no location within Coronado that has greater population density than the Shores. Adding 30% more units creates unimaginable traffic problems.
Ingress and egress from the Shores onto the Silver Strand is already difficult, not only because of the population at the Shores, but because of the residents and workers at the Base. It plainly makes no sense to take the most highly density area and exaggerate it beyond all reasonableness.
2. Individuals living at the proposed units will be employed either within the retail shopping area of Coronado, at the Naval Base, in San Diego, or at points south (Imperial Beach, Chula Vista). The traffic through the City to the Bridge, along Ocean Avenue to the Base, or southward is unimaginable today; the traffic will be impossible should the units be built at “City Hall.”
3. Parking is now a major problem. The current city parking is wholly inadequate today, particularly in the beach areas. Assuming two cars per unit, an additional 800 cars plus guest cars will need to be parked somewhere, taking either more ground space (which is unavailable) or force underground or above ground parking facilities. Underground parking is terribly expensive given the low water table.
Above ground destroys the visual appeal that has made Coronado the great city it is.
4. Depending how tall the buildings will be, the view from various condos within the Shores will be inhibited, reducing the value of those condos. The location does not do justice to those who have paid a heavy price/sq. ft. to acquire their condos with a view.
5. Given the desecration of value for various condos, a property tax relief from the Prop 13 is most likely not being offered. This only suggests that some people will be paying an extremely high tax rate relative to value (depressed). This is not fair treatment. If there is an adjustment to “purchase price plus” under Prop 13, the tax revenue for the City of Coronado will be decreased at a time when school building and infrastructure needs are increased.
6. The local infrastructure of Coronado at “City Hall” cannot support the increase in the population. The impact on schools, the health care facilities and general trade is nothing but negative. Emergency runs to the hospital from the Shores will cause 141
City of Coronado Page 544
Attachment 1
the loss of life given the cross-island nature of the City Hall location relative to the hospital with the increase in traffic.
7. Virtually the only food shopping capability is Von’s-a sad, dirty and currently too small-to- service store will be over-whelmed. Parking, not only a problem currently, will become horrendous should the units be built.
I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO DO EVERYTHING WITHIN YOUR POWER TO STOP THE 912 UNITS FROM BEING BUILT, BUT MOST CERTAINLY NOT BUILD
THEM IN THE ONE AREA OF CORONADO THAT HAS THE HIGHEST
POPULATION DENSITY!
Many thanks.

Coronado, CA 92118
Dear Mr. Brown:
What a unique pleasure it is to live in the beautiful city of Coronado. Being the “Crown Jewel” of the west coast, thousands of tourists visit our beaches and our merchants every year. Much of its appeal has come from your office and the strategic planning it has done to make Coronado the attraction it is. Our most famous and prominent landmark is of course the Hotel del Coronado. They are investing over $400,000,000 in their property because they believe in their future and the future of Coronado. Are we not the most fortunate to be a part of such a magnificent place to live? So, it is with great sadness that I have to write you this letter. But I must, because if I do, it just might make a difference to you, the Coronado Community Development Planners, and the powers that be as mandated by SANDAG’s “Regional Housing Needs Allocation” (RHNA) vote to provide low to moderate income housing units. Specifically, I wish to address the Coronado Community Development Planner’s proposal of 400 of these units that are in the planning stage for the tract of land on Strand Way currently being occupied by your office, City Hall, the Coronado Community (Recreation) Center, the Coronado Playhouse and the associated parking lots of these facilities.
As a city planner, I am hopeful that you see the folly of such a notion. To wantonly destroy existing pristine and very functional facilities to accommodate moderate to low-income housing construction should be considered impractical if not absurd on many levels. I am not a professional City Planner, as you are, but as a lay person, the concerns that come to mind as well as the concerns of many others are numerous:
1. Of necessity, in order to accommodate this number of units, the building(s) will need to be multi-storied. This, in and of itself, would be a distraction to the natural scenic beauty of the bay, Coronado Yacht Club and surrounding area.
2. Parking will have to be provided for cars owned by the tenants of these units as well as additional public parking for visitors to the beach across the street. 145
City of Coronado Page 548
Attachment 1
Mr. Jesse Brown
Senior Planner, City of Coronado
Page Two
3. Traffic will be significantly increased resulting in more exhaust and noise pollution. Be mindful that traffic along Strand Way is already very dense, particularly in the mornings and afternoons as Navy personnel travel to and from their duty stations in North Island and the Amphibious Base.
4. One could argue that property values would be significantly and unnecessarily diminished, particularly at each of the 1,500 condominium units of Coronado Shores. Reduced property values translate into less property tax revenue for the City, County and State not to mention the owners who have sizeable investments secured in their beach properties.
5. Lastly, no mention has been made of where City Hall plans to relocate its operational offices. Currently, this is a modern, multi-million-dollar facility that is a source of pride for our city. The same is applicable to the Recreation Center if that facility is to be included in this Strand Way proposal.
I strongly urge you, as the Senior Planner for the City of Coronado, and your colleagues to reject any proposal to use this site for any purpose other than for what it is being currently utilized. To do otherwise would be a tragic and unnecessary affront and significant loss to the city as well as the citizens of Coronado.
Very truly yours,
Paul E. Krupp

THIS IS AN EXTERNAL EMAIL. Do not click links or open attachments unless you trust the sender and know the content is safe.
Mr. Brown,
I’m opposed to building 400 housing units by the Coronado Shores.
I came to Coronado in 1980 to attend BUD/S Training and have lived here off and on ever since. Just three months ago, my wife and I managed to buy a condo in the Coronado Shores. Now it looks like the quality of life here is in serious jeopardy! I’m reminded of the book, Is Paris Burning, by Lapierre and Collins. True story. During the last days of WW2 in occupied France, Hitler gave a direct order to his Paris-based General to destroy the city. Haversacks of explosives were attached to all the historic landmarks and bridges. To disobey the order would mean certain death for the General and his family back in Germany. Still, he knew that “History will never forgive the man who destroyed Paris.” He didn’t... and we have Paris today. 400 housing units will not destroy Coronado, but it will irrevocably degrade the town with overwhelming human density and traffic. We hope you'll play the role of the aforementioned General and not let this happen. You would have the gratitude of the people of Coronado.
Regards,
Dave Landis!

Dear Jesse Brown:
I understand that the parking lots next to City Hall have been identified as a potential site to accommodate affordable housing of up to 400 units for low to very low-income families.
As an owner in the Coronado Shores, and as a tax payer, I strongly oppose this location. Adding 400 housing units will mean increased vehicle and pedestrian traffic, increased security costs, and loss of views. I urge the City Council to remove this site from their plan.

Subject: 400 Housing Units on "City Hall"
THIS IS AN EXTERNAL EMAIL. Do not click links or open attachments unless you trust the sender and know the content is safe.
Mr. Brown,
I own a condo at 1820 Avenida Del Mundo. This is our second home, and as such, I’ve not been as invested in keeping up with the details of this issue as I might. Now that I’m trying to “catch-up” I’m having trouble finding detailed information on the City website regarding which areas are being considered for rezoning.
I’ve read David Zacharias’ email to you of 3/27/21, and agree in principal with most of the issues he brings up.
I’ve also read Jeri Hickman’s letter which appeared in the 3/7/21 issue of The Coronado Times.
All these issues regarding traffic, parking, negative impact on infrastructure, property values, etc. are Coronado-wide, not just applicable to the “City Hall” or the “Smart N Final” properties.
From what I have kept up with, the City Council is already appealing the RHNA and I strongly encourage they continue to explore all legal remedies.
I cannot imagine Coronado with 900 additional housing units, but, assuming the Council must rezone properties, then I strongly recommend they rezone in as many areas of the community as they can, and limit actual building permit approvals in any one of those areas, so as to spread the impact evenly across the City.
Adding almost half the required units to just one property would be devastating to the small surrounding area. Especially taking into account the extra traffic etc. expected as the Hotel Del completes their construction, and can start hosting more guests, groups, and events when the pandemic situation resolves.
We can’t all be NIMBY’s. Of course I’m strongly opposed to the construction of 400 units across the street from The Shores. But I understand that the City’s hands are tied.
As I mentioned above, if the Council must rezone, they should do it fairly, and across the entire City. Building permits should be approved or disapproved in the same manner, fairly, and across the entire City, so density is not concentrated in any one area.

Attention Mr. Brown:
I am aware of the California’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation policy, or RHNA, and how it will impact the City of Coronado as well as Coronado Shores Residents.
I would like to express my concerns, because of the traffic, noise and security issues it will create. as well as changing completely the Charm and ambiance the City of Coronado provides.
Coronado is known for its charm and tranquility and with this proposal I believe the charm and the touristy nice little town feeling will be drastically changed.
It should be kept a small resort type little town. Not a hectic traffic location with security and traffic issues. I would appreciate if you can voice my concerns as many others who live in Coronado. And oppose to this 400 Units to be built.
Thank You! for your kind attention to this matter,

Dear Mr Brown,
Subject: Public Review of Housing at City Hall Site.
As residents of Las Flores building at the Coronado Shores complex, we are very worried about the proposed plan to allocate 400 units of low and very low income housing at the City Hall site. Building these units at this site will have a devastating impact on our investments and well being. It will create increased traffic, congestion, loss of views, and greatly increase the cost of security.
This project will grind to a halt all future investments in Coronado. Its remarkable what is being accomplished in terms of new investments at the Hotel Del, and all the new restaurants and businesses being set up in the last few years, all of this will stop and gradually disappear as tourists and conventions look for a better and safer city. We urge the Coronado planning Commission to reconsider allocating this low income housing in a more appropriate site where it will not have such a devastating impact on the local economy. We all have a responsibility to maintain Coronado as the very special place it is, lets work towards maintaining and creating a better place for future generations.
Thank You

Dear Jesse, I am greatly troubled by the thought of having hundreds of units and thousands of low income residents on the proposed site between the Coronado boathouse and the Bluewater restaurant. I/we live in Las Flores and selected our condo based on the beautiful and unimpeded view of the golf course, Glorietta Bay and the downtown skyline with minimal lighting affecting that view at night. The plan will carry destruction of the unique character of the Strand at this end of town. I am prepared to do all I can to help mitigate what would surely be a catastrophe for the residents of the Shores with such a plan.
Please do not hesitate to contact me as to how I can help fight this plan.

This sounds like such idiocy has to be unbelievable. Whoever ordered such a thing is not thinking straight, or is a liberal who feels that punishing people with more money is the proper thing to do in society. Such a project would get rid of a valuable building/office space, remove a large number of parking spots that are used by people all over the county who are middle income or lower income who want to go to the beach, and devalue the homes across the street in the shores by destroying their views. What about the school you were not using right next to the airfield - build a tower there.
Better yet buy 500 acres in Alpine or Ramona in the unincorporated area, and annex it to the city of Coronado and then build there.
From the first time I heard about this whole project, I thought the people who directed Coronado to come up with 1000 low income housing units were obviously on some thing. There are only 1100 units in all of Coronado Shores.

Dear Jesse,
This letter is in strong opposition of any plan to put low income housing across from the Coronado Shores development.
My family has lived in Coronado for 25 years, and our children went to school in all three systems. As a resident of our Island community we have been repeatedly impacted adversely by massive military expansion and growth, which has not been adequately evaluated in this broad stroke of Government housing expansion.
The new Strand expansion of the military and the enormous car egress onto the Island have made it difficult as a surgeon to get off the Island in emergencies when I am on call especially between 7 to 9am and 3 to 4pm.
It is irresponsible to continue expanding housing when the military has expanded without compromise for our community.
It is the responsibility of our elected politicians of Coronado to stand up against this unjust and unfair and incorrect ruling that continues to stretch our Island resources. In addition, the Hilton Hotel Coronado Del expansion was NOT approved by the City nor the residents of the Coronado Shores with the understanding that an additional 400 housing units may exist adjacent to the Shores. If so, the Shores would likely not have participated cooperatively in the expansion, which is vital to the City's economic stability. I am hopeful the Del is involved with this ongoing negotiation with our State, as they represent a very powerful voice in this conversation.
Please keep me informed as to this ongoing problem.
Thank you,

Mr. Brown,
Why are NASNI/NAB Military and Navy Civilian employees counted as working in Coronado? Has anyone considered that these bases could probably be considered Federal Enclaves, and the employees are actually working on Federal Land? I would think this would help get the population numbers down, and lower the requirement for affordable housing.

Mr Brown,
I have been visiting Coronado since the early 1990 and now I am home owner since 2015 of the Coronado Shores.
We as a family have been learning and understanding the planned development of low income and affordable housing project nearby.
We want to commend the City Council on taking a step towards being part of the solution in the State of California to a problem that keeps on growing and that is nor easy nor challenging.
Having said these I am very concerned on the solution provided for the development site. Unfortunately these housing development bring a broad scope of social vices to communities like Coronado. I am sure that there are severall families as well as ours that are very concerned with this fact.
I am sure that as City Council you have looked at the different yet limited options that Coronado has but this solution is really perplexing and not supported by us both as home owner and head of family.

Jesse, I am a resident at The Coronado Shores. I have lived here since 2010. The traffic has doubled in the last five years.
The traffic noise is horrendous. The housing that you are purposing on Hwy 75 will cause even more traffic in this already high traffic area. Has the city done research on the amount of traffic in this area? The amount of tourists that cross Hwy 75 at this City Hall area is enormous. Adding more traffic in this area will be fatal. May I suggest another area on the island. The Coronado Tidelands Park has room for housing and is easily accessed from the bridge. Easy on and easy off the bridge. Another thought is the Vernetti Stadium baseball field between A and B Avenue. Please reconsider building at the City Hall area on Hwy 75.

Dear Mr Brown,
My name is Irene Pedroza. Coronado is my home and my family owns several properties on this beautiful island including El Rancho Motel.
We are strongly opposed to the proposed increase of density in Coronado.
Coronado is one of the few Historic towns in California, why would any San Diegan see devaluing Coronado as something positive?
There are only two very tight points of access to the Island. Adding 900+ units to Coronado will strongly impact the island's uniqueness and tourism income.
Coronado lacks supermarkets, gas stations, schools and other basic infrastructure, residents would have to leave the island to purchase their groceries, and this would add traffic to the already problematic situation we live in.
We ask you to help us stop this construction, we believe it will be a huge mistake.

Dear fellow Coronado residents,
I see no benefit for either the potential new low income residents of Coronado with this plean to add them to Coronado be destroying badly needed areas of our city. I served for nine years in the Navy first with the SEALs, then as a pilot off the Aircraft Carriers. I do not see the reason to destroy the city to benefit low income housing. There is space in Imperial Beach and in the hills East of San Diego. There are many areas where the population is shrinking in the farming areas which could easily give space for more people. I specifically recommend areas like Kittson County, Minnesota where i was born. The schools have excess capacity and the population is plummeting. Why destroy Coronado to help a politician who wants more votes at the cost of destroying something beautiful? Many of us served in the military and fought for this country. Why should we be penalized to benefit people who have never served? Cordially,
Dr. Marvin Peterson

Dear Mr. Brown,
My wife and I have been residents of Coronado Shores since 1986, and we have seen many changes to the City over the past thirty-five years. What was once a calm summer haven for hot weather visitors is now almost unrecognizable.
We understand that growth is beneficial to local businesses, and we also know that the City must comply with the RHNA mandate. However, we are adamantly opposed to the addition of low-income, high-density housing adjacent to City Hall for the following reasons:
1. Parking. The parking lot adjacent to City Hall is already overcrowded, even in the winter months. Without this lot, where would visitors park to access the beach, the Bluewater Grill, or Seaforth Rentals? The boardwalk lot on El Encanto is standing room only, and parking along the Strand west side curb is constantly full. Also, where would boat owners park who dock their boats at the Glorietta Bay Marina?
2. Overcrowding. As I mentioned, parking is at a premium, but so is ingress/egress to the beaches. To my knowledge, the only southern access point to the boardwalk sits west of the parking lot at City Hall, above the parking lot west of the Shores gate. RHNA residents could easily walk across the street to the beach while vacationers and residents would be forced to park inland, assuming they could find a space at all. Is this fair to vacationers and owners?
3. Safety. The addition of up to 400 housing units in this location would pose several areas of concern. First, The Shores is not a fully gated community. There are perimeter walls along a portion of the community, but somebody could easily jump them. The roadways between the units are protected from vehicle traffic by gate arms, but they are not fenced. Adding hundreds of additional residents around the area would inevitably cause the Shores to add more fencing and more round-the-clock security at the owner’s expense. Is this fair to the Shores residents?
4. Loss of views. Many of our residents have purchased their homes to enjoy the view of Glorietta Bay. RHNA housing would adversely impact these views from their residences. 1 175

In closing, we understand that you must find space for RHNA housing, but this option would be unfair and create unneeded chaos. It is not the answer.

Dear Jesse Brown:
As owners of two condos at Coronado Shores we are strongly opposed to any kind of housing development on the property directly across the street on Strand Way on or near the parking lots next to City Hall. The last thing the area needs is loss of parking. The area is already densely populated and cannot accommodate more housing, more cars, more residents or more traffic. Please forward our comments to the California Department of Housing and Community Development for their consideration.
Sincerely,

To whom it may concern,
I reside in the Shores Condos, and I have lived here for over 15 years. When I purchased this property I bought a 1700 sq ft unit at $700 a sq ft. As of today, the equity in the unit has risen to $1335 a sq ft. I understand you are considering adding Section 8 Housing across the street at the City Hall parking lots -- this move will affect traffic, property values, and the views that were many of the reasons I purchased this unit. If you go through with this construction project, I think you need to inform the condo owners of your plans to ease the traffic and parking, and provide compensation for the drop in property values that is sure to occur if you proceed. Also, added security will be required to keep parking overflow from moving to our parking lots that we pay to maintain.
I do not think it appropriate to put 400+ units here when there are other more accessible places to put these units, that would have better access to streets for the traffic that is certain to be added to the island. We are a small community within the island, and this is just another reason I so enjoy living here. This move will change 1 178
City of Coronado Page 581
Attachment 1
the dynamic of the complex, and not for the better. I pay over $8000 a month in HOA fees to ensure the privacy of myself and my neighbors, and I fear the fee will rise and our privacy will be encroached upon if you proceed with building at this site.
I would love to hear from you on how you plan to resolve these issues with property owners that pay property taxes.
Sincerely yours,

Hello Mr. Brown,
Thank you for the chance to make an input for the record in regard to the subject housing element draft update.
The proposal to put 400 units where the mayor's office is located along with other community buildings I know is being forced upon you by the state. I also gather that unless the Navy can cede land for this effort, and I doubt if it will, your office can only look upon the land it actually owns for possible development.
Sometimes in my career, the answer to my superiors was that the mission was impossible. I think this is where we are at with the state. To try to build 400 units on that strip of land facing the yacht club and bay is impossible when you must also provide parking, safe entry and exit, and meet all the demands of the permitting process. Further, that large number of new residents and corresponding vehicles will result in a traffic nightmare as vehicles barrel down the highway on their way to work and individuals of all ages and in great numbers try to cross the street.
There will be a huge impact on the Shores owners who presently face that direction as I assume you will have to build a multi-story high-rise to accommodate so many units. How would such a high-rise meet the various codes for height I do not know, but in the end, there will be a very negative loss of value to the Shores units. I do not own a Shores unit facing in that direction, but I do care what happens to those that do.
I also wonder about the effect on the Hotel Del as large numbers of people wander through that facility already chocked full of tourists as they are bused in for the day. The beach is already packed by the Del and Shores, and the new development you have described will not help that situation either.
What about security for those yachts presently moored along the bay and facing west towards the mayor's office. My guess is that they would all have to relocate.
In closing, the concept to put on some of the most valuable bayfront land in the San Diego area low income high rise housing in an already congested area makes little sense. Why would the city government give up the facilities in which they now work, or the citizens of Coronado give up their meeting rooms and gym, the Playhouse Theater and much more and where would such amenities and offices relocate? Sincerely,
John Robinson

Mr. Brown,
I write to you as a unit owner and resident of The Shores. I am STRONGLY OPPOSED to the construction of 400 units across the street, known as the “City Hall” location for the following reasons:
1. The creation of such units is equivalent to three towers located at Coronado Shores. There is no location within Coronado that has greater population density than the Shores. Adding 30% more units creates unimaginable traffic problems.
Ingress and egress from the Shores onto the Silver Strand is already difficult, not only because of the population at the Shores, but because of the residents and workers at the Base. It plainly makes no sense to take the most highly density area and exaggerate it beyond all reasonableness.
2. Individuals living at the proposed units will be employed either within the retail shopping area of Coronado, at the Naval Base, in San Diego, or at points south (Imperial Beach, Chula Vista). The traffic through the City to the Bridge, along Ocean Avenue to the Base, or southward is unimaginable today; the traffic will be impossible should the units be built at “City Hall.”
3. Parking is now a major problem. The current city parking is wholly inadequate today, particularly in the beach areas. Assuming two cars per unit, an additional 800 cars plus guest cars will need to be parked somewhere, taking either more ground space (which is unavailable) or force underground or above ground parking facilities. Underground parking is terribly expensive given the low water table.
Above ground destroys the visual appeal that has made Coronado the great city it is.
4. Depending how tall the buildings will be, the view from various condos within the Shores will be inhibited, reducing the value of those condos. The location does not do justice to those who have paid a heavy price/sq. ft. to acquire their condos with a view.
5. Given the desecration of value for various condos, a property tax relief from the Prop 13 is most likely not being offered. This only suggests that some people will be paying an extremely high tax rate relative to value (depressed). This is not fair treatment. If there is an adjustment to “purchase price plus” under Prop 13, the tax revenue for the City of Coronado will be decreased at a time when school building and infrastructure needs are increased.
6. The local infrastructure of Coronado at “City Hall” cannot support the increase in the population. The impact on schools, the health care facilities and general trade is nothing but negative. Emergency runs to the hospital from the Shores will cause 181
City of Coronado Page 584
Attachment 1
the loss of life given the cross-island nature of the City Hall location relative to the hospital with the increase in traffic.
7. Virtually the only food shopping capability is Von’s-a sad, dirty and currently too small-to- service store will be over-whelmed. Parking, not only a problem currently, will become horrendous should the units be built.
I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO DO EVERYTHING WITHIN YOUR POWER TO STOP THE 912 UNITS FROM BEING BUILT, BUT MOST CERTAINLY NOT BUILD
THEM IN THE ONE AREA OF CORONADO THAT HAS THE HIGHEST
POPULATION DENSITY!
Many thanks.

Hi ,

That will result in:
Less tourists
Less money revenue
Less sells for stores an restaurant
Equals for less jobs .
Less school capacity.
To crowed equal to more crime .
It will lower the value o the land.
More traffic so more pulled.

Jesse,
Thank you for sending me the Draft Housing Document.
Here are my comments:
I am opposed to the requirement that Coronado increases its housing by over 900 units. I encourage the City to continue fighting SANDAG on this requirement.
That being said, I am opposed to the use of the “City Hall Site” to support 400 units of low and very low income R5 housing (described on page 137 of the draft.). The 8.9 acres to accommodate these 400 units includes a parking lot, city hall building, park used for weddings, community center and playhouse, community rec center, olympic pool, the boat launch and city park. To rezone and bulldoze that entire area so that hundreds of units could be accommodated is an outrage. Coronado and its waterfront is a gem to the entire region. It allows free parking and access to the Bay, Marina, and Pacific Ocean at/near Avenida De Las Arenas. All that beauty and access would be destroyed by public housing units, increased congestion, reduced parking availability, increased foot traffic, the need for more public transportation, grocery stores, public infrastructure like household water, electricity, sewage, water runoff management, etc. Don’t destroy Coronado!
PLEASE REMOVE THE CORONADO CITY HALL SITE from consideration for 400 R-5 units.
PLEASE FIGHT SANDAG’s overreach and flawed plan requiring Coronado to bear this housing load without considering the US Navy and its role in Coronado’s housing. Please elevate the fact that other communities have plenty of available land - without destroying the very fabric of their entire town. We love Coronado - please don’t destroy our crown gem!

Mr. Brown,
I own a condo at 1820 Avenida Del Mundo, (El Mirador), located immediately north of the Seal Base. I am STRONGLY OPPOSED to the construction of 400 units across the street, known as the “City Hall” location for the following reasons:

Mr. BrownMy family has been visiting Coronado for 40 years and has been an owner of an apt at the Shores since 2006. We were alerted by our building manager of the possible plans to build up to 400 units across the Strand from the Shores.
Coronado has changed so much over the time we have been visiting and it continues to do so, some for the good, some for the not so good. A 400 unit apt complex would fall into the latter category so I wanted to send off this email.
There are so many more people in the area, at the beach, in the restaurants (post pandemic hopefully) and the traffic is already horrible. Some of the problems may be the Del's construction but that is hopefully an end we can count on. A 400 unit, multi story complex, is a problem which will keep on giving increasing our traffic problems (both cars on the roads and people on the streets and boardwalk), affect what views we currently enjoy and in general, take much away from what Coronado is to those of us who have been coming for a long time.
I know of no way to write an email commenting on a government proposal/policy like this without sounding like a NIMBY (not in my backyard) but Coronado is a small island and I fear a project of this size and location can do nothing but harm the area and the people who call it home.
I appreciate you taking the time to read my email and can be reached here at any time as appropriate. Thank you.

Subject: Affordable Housing - City Hall Location
THIS IS AN EXTERNAL EMAIL. Do not click links or open attachments unless you trust the sender and know the content is safe.
I am aware of the difficult challenge in Coronado of finding space to abide by California’s and SANDAG’s affordable housing requirement.
The proposal to locate 400 units along the strand adjacent to city hall will result extreme traffic issues. Currently, prior to the completion of the Hotel Del expansion, that portion of Silver Strand Blvd, Strand Way, Glorietta Blvd and Pamona Ave are heavily congested with
Emergency/First Responders. Coronado Shores has an older demographic who frequently call upon Coronado’s first responders during health emergencies.
Buses
Residents heading to/from their homes
Military personnel to the based
Boaters accessing the marina
San Diegans headed to the beach and searching for parking
Weddings along the bay
Pedestrians and cyclists using the bike paths
There are times of the day when the roads are at a standstill. It’s not difficult to foresee the outcome of 400 new homes.
The increased traffic, congestion and less parking will assuredly create not just a significant logistical problem, but certainly slow emergency vehicles and increase the likelihood of accidents involving bikers, runners, beach goers and tourists. The dynamics of that portion of The Strand make the city hall location an unnecessary safety risk to residents, tourists and children.
I ask that you reconsider the location and remove city hall from the list of options.
For consideration,

CITY COUNCIL: PUTTING. LOW. INCOME HOUSING ACROSS FROM MILLION DOLLAR YAUGHTS IS WITHOUT ANY MERIT.
IT WILL DEVALUE THE REAL ESTATE VALUE OF THE SHORES WHICH WILL REFLECT LOWER. PROPERTY TAXES TO CORONADO.
IT WILL INTRODUCE THE WRONG SOCIAL ELEMENT TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE CITY COUNCIL SHOULD BE RECALLED WITH GAVIN FOR APPROVING SUCH A.
RIDICULUS PLAN TO. DEVALUE PROPERTY IN CORONADO.
THE NEGATIVE VALUE AS IT WILL AFFECT THE DEL AFTER THEY. ARE SPENDING. OVER $221 MILLION TO UPGRADE IS A SLAP IN. THE. FACE.
ASK THE RESIDENCE OF CORONADO THEIR OPINION AND YOU WILL GET A VERY POOR RESPONSE TO THEIR VOTE.

Good morning Jennifer. My name is David Slaughter and I live in the Coronado Shores, Cabrillo Tower, . My wife and I strongly opposed the proposed low-rent housing being considered next to the City Hall. The traffic on Strand Way is already almost unmanageable, and additional housing in that area would increase the traffic flow many times over.
We understand the wonderful lifestyle we all enjoy in Coronado and realize how attractive it is for anyone to live here.
However, more housing units, especially in the numbers that are proposed would present a huge detriment to not only the Shores, but everyone living on Coronado. Please consider our opposition and determine that this location would not be suitable to such density. Thank you, Dave Slaughter

Please note that my husband, Neil and I are Coronado Shores owners since 2001. (Retiree’s from KC, Mo). After falling in love with Coronado, since the late 80’s, We bought in Las Flores, a bay view Terrace Unit. City Hall and The Comunity Center were under construction at that time. Our Bay view is unobstructed, and a total delight. Further our daughter (& son in law, & boys 8&5) have chosen to live in Coronado, and are extremely active in local business, and civic affairs.
We oppose the California Regional Housing Project being built in the proposed site of The Bay Front reaching from the Boat House to the South beach Launch, which directly impacts Shores properties.
Please note we feel that this is not a prudent site. The city hall and multiple community assets and structures are “perfect and exquisite” where they exist and provide phenomenal facilities to all Coronado residents.
Please reconsider...we deem the site proposed would become obtrusive and irresponsible to our community needs. Further, the assets removed would need to be relocated, obviously at “theoretically unknown locations,” and certainly at unreasonable expense. We strongly feel this proposed site of regional housing impacts not only Shores residents but all residents of Coronado in a negative way.
In an attempt to be reasonable, (and not merely a complainer), we feel a better site conceivably exists. This being the vacant land mass (less than 1 mile south), directly south of the Navy Seal Base, on the Bay side, and parallel to the Strand. It seems a 3 story project at that site, could meet the “unit requirement,” and with creativity, could become “iconic.” I offer the analogy of “Turning Lemons into Lemonade.” I hope our input might be relevant to the issue at hand. .
Thank you for your consideration, All the Best,
Susie & Neil

Hi Jesse Brown:
It has come to my attention that the City of Coronado is being forced to add 912 units of affordable housing. As a resident of the Shores, I feel that the addition and increase in density would be detrimental to those living at the Shores and to the whole of Coronado. The area where you are proposing these 912 units is already congested. I also think it would impact tourism because Orange Avenue is already a busy thoroughfare.
It seems like there is more space down by the Cays.
The Del has already spent a great deal of money improving its facilities and a building like this would impact it as well.
Thank you.

Subject: City of Coronado Housing Element Plan
To whom it may concern,
As a decades-long resident of Coronado Shores, I strongly oppose the current City of Coronado Housing Element Plan under consideration to build low and very low income housing.
It places an unfair and heavy burden on our community, as 85% of the low and very low income units are to be shouldered by our very small side of town. There isn’t any other area of the island that is being overtaxed as severely as ours.
We understand the difficulties of the imposed number of dwellings required by the city, but this should not be a burden to be suffered by a small fraction of the island’s population. The impact of having this project approved, not only will affect the quality of our daily lives, but the ecological impact to the area will be devastating.
During the summer months, one can clearly see the impact in traffic, noise, and pollution to the area. Buses full of tourists park exactly where you are planning to build these units. And the summer influx of people is nothing compared to what the council is proposing. The impact will be destructive to the area.
By approving this plan you are destroying a community that has been in this place since 1976. We have a right to preserve the quality of life we have worked so hard for. This will completely transform the landscape, wellbeing, and lifestyle of the current residents. It will devalue our properties and increase our building’s security costs.
This is an absolute disregard for people like me, who have always been responsible taxpaying residents, taking care of our community. You cannot ask people to suffer the impact, not only of the months of construction of 400 units, but a senseless and excessive amount of population for such small stretch of land.
The Silver Strand has empty stretches of land down the road that can be repurposed for this development without ruining the lives of hundreds of current residents.
Also, I stand against the dismantling of the current installations of city hall, the community center, and the park, which taxpayers payed for and use, to repurpose this land. Why do you completely disregard our use of the installations our taxes payed for? It was clearly another wasteful use of our taxes.
The congestion created by the military base already makes traffic on the bridge a tremendous problem. The island only has two access points — this will be another terrible hit to the island’s population.
This is by no means the least impactful way to resolve this situation. It’s the least impactful way for only a handful of people who are not taking into consideration the rest of the residents of this specific area.
I strongly stand against this proposal.
Sincerely,
Frida Steinberg
