OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
CR-40 - Monitoring 91.220 and 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements.

Although the City’s HUD -funded activities and strategies have been very successful, we strive for continuous improvements in our housing, homeless prevention, neighborhood improvement, and public service priority needs, as well as our grant administration, compliance, and monitoring. During FY 2021- 2022, the City continued to improve its project, fiscal, and other administrative management systems to ensure compliance with CDBG, HOME, and ESG program and comprehensive planning requirements through the following measures and accomplishments:

The City’s Community and Economic Develo pment and Finance Departments worked together over the last six months to prepare for the FY 2021-2022 CAPER and the FY 2022-2023 AAP. Through several brainstorming meetings with managers and staff from both teams, the City has achieved comprehensive training for key staff in both departments on HUD program financial administration and using IDIS.

Community and Economic Development staff have been working with Finance staff to educate them on HUD requirements. This cooperation will improve the timeliness of HUD fund drawdowns, establish better procedures and schedules for aligning the City’s general budget planning and the HUD AAP process, the City’s general ledger and IDIS records, and for handling remaining funds at the end of the program year.

City Staff annually monitors all HOME funded projects in accordance with the City's Monitoring Plan for HOME Rental Projects and the HOME Final Rule. See Attachment 4 for the City's HOME Monitoring Policy.

In an effort to ensure up-to-date knowledge of HUD programs and policies, staff members invested over 50 hours in training, workshops, webinars, or technical assistance sessions sponsored by HUD or by outside agencies, but with direct relevance to the HUD program implementation. Topics of the trainings included Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act funding, Financial Management, Analysis of Impediments, HMIS, HOME activities, IDIS, sub-recipient management, CDBG and Environmental Training.

CARES ACT CDBG-CV and ESG-CV grant funds were awarded to the City of Garden Grove in April 2020 and have an expenditure deadline of September 30, 2023. The City will monitor CARES ACT CDBG-CV and ESG- CV projects in accordance with HUD regulations on a quarterly basis through expenditure reports. The City will utilize the Sage Report tool to submit the required CARES ACT ESG-CV reports that are due to HUD on a quarterly basis.

The City’s effort to provide citizens with reasonable notice and an opportunity to comment on performance reported in the Draft FY 2021-2022 CAPER follows the process outlined in the Citizen Participation Plan.

The City scheduled the Neighborhood Improvement and Conservation Commission meeting for September 12, 2022, but the Commission was unable to meet due to not having a quorum. Due to the lack of quorum at the September 12, 2022 Regular Neighborhood Improvement and Conservation Commission Meeting, the City publish another notice to the public on September 16, 2022 to provide notification of a Special Neighborhood Improvement and Conservation Commission Meeting being held on September 26, 2022.

11. Project Outcomes Data measured under the performance standards developed in consultation with the CoC(s)
All sub-recipients of ESG funds were required to use homeless/client certification forms during the intake process to ensure all clients serviced were qualified and are residents of the City of Garden Grove. In addition, sub-recipients were also required to submit completed quarterly reports for monitoring purposes. During the aforementioned process, City staff addressed concerns and/or discrepancies within the reports and made sure corrections were made at the early stages of the FY. The capacity of utilization for shelter was approximately 83% (25,080 bed nights provided).

In addition, City staff consulted with the CoC and attended meetings with various County subcommittees to discuss issues, concerns, and best practices for meeting the needs of the homeless population. Staff also formed an OC Collaborative consisting of neighboring jurisdictions receiving ESG funds (Anaheim, Santa Ana, Irvine, and the County of Orange) and established a shared Request for Proposal (RFP) that was utilized to fund service providers for program year 2021. The OC Collaborative created uniform ESG guidelines that are utilized amongst all service providers within the County. These guidelines include a homeless at-risk assessment and a homeless certification form. Creating these guidelines helped promote a cohesive effort between the neighboring Cities in addressing homelessness and also assisted service providers to stay compliant with HUD’s regulations.

Attachment #4

HOME Monitoring Protocols

Page 442 of 1101 ends

(P:Neigh-Im\HUD Admin\HOME\HOME Monitoring Protocol Exhibit II)

ATTACHMENT 4: HOME Monitoring Protocols

This attachment to the City of Garden Grove’s (City) Monitoring Plan is prepared to establish protocols for monitoring HOME Investment Partnerships Act (HOME) assisted rental housing projects The City is responsible to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for monitoring HOME-assisted rental projects throughout the period of affordability to ensure that HOME-assisted rental projects are monitored adequately for continued compliance with federal and state regulations.

Monitoring guidelines are intended to assist City monitoring staff in making informed judgments about asset management, HOME Investment Partnerships Act (HOME) Program compliance and management efficiency of HOME-assisted rental projects.

The primary document used to monitor projects is the Regulatory Agreement. An exhibit of the Affordable Housing Agreement (AHA) or the Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA), a Regulatory Agreement is executed by the owner and the City or the City’s Redevelopment Agency (Agency) and recorded as a lien on the project in the official records of Orange County.

The Monitoring Process

Monitoring of HOME-assisted housing developments will be scheduled following the annual publication of HOME Investment Partnerships Act (HOME) rents and income limits by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which typically occurs between March and May.

Monitoring will occur at two levels:

 Annually, a desk audit will be performed wherein the owner/property manager will submit information certifying household sizes, household incomes and rents for all HOME-restricted units; and

 Periodically, an on-site visit will be conducted, which will include a property inspection and an in- depth review of all the HOME and federal cross-cutting requirements, e.g., affirmative marketing and tenant selection procedures,

Page 443 of 1101 ends

(P:Neigh-Im\HUD Admin\HOME\HOME Monitoring Protocol Exhibit II)

On-site monitoring will occur whenever developments are inspected to ensure compliance with the City’s property standards. Wh ile the City has the prerogative to monitor on-site more frequently, especially if a project is at risk because of outstanding findings or insufficient capacity, inspections and site visits will typically occur in accordance with the HOME Final Rule at 24 CFR 92.504(d):

Total No. of Units Minimum Schedule
1 – 4 units every 3 years
5 – 25 units every 2 years
26+ units annually

The following steps are to be taken when conducting a desk audit:

1. A monitoring letter (Exhibit 1: Annual Monitoring Letter) will be sent to the Owner/Property Manager transmitting the project’s Annual Compliance Report and certification and recertification forms along with the new HOME rents, income limits, Garden Grove Housing Authority utility allowance schedule and a form for calculating HOME rents.

2. The Owner/Property Manager is to submit the new rent schedule and the completed Annual Compliance Report ( Exhibit 2: Project Compliance Report ) accompanied by income certification or recertification forms (Exhibit 3: Tenant Income
Certification/Recertification Form) for each household occupying a HOME-designated unit.

3. A Monitoring Summary letter will be provided to the Owner/Property Manager that serves as the formal notification of the results of the monitoring. All negative conclusions will be considered a finding or concern with a specific required corrective action. A copy is retained in the Project monitoring file.


A “finding” is a deficiency in project performance evidencing an unmet statutory or regulatory requirement.

5. Upon completion of all corrective actions, a letter is sent to the Owner/Property Manager stating that the monitoring findings and concerns have been closed. A copy is retained in the Project monitoring file.

The following steps are to be taken when monitoring on-site:

1. A pre-monitoring letter ( Exhibit 1.1: Monitoring Letter-Site Visitation ) will be sent to the Owner and property manager at least two weeks in advance of the monitoring visit. The letter will detail the salient terms of the Project’s Regulatory Agreement that will be the source of monitoring and provide the Owner/Property Manager with the new HOME rents, income limits, Garden Grove Housing Authority utility allowance schedule and a form for calculating HOME rents.

2. Upon arrival, an entrance interview will be conducted to make sure that the owner and/or manager thoroughly understand the purpose, scope and schedule for the monitoring.

3. A detailed record will be prepared of information reviewed and conversations held with the Owner/Property Manager during the monitoring visit, using a checklist (Exhibit 4: File Checklist) and questionnaire (Exhibit 4.1: Monitoring Questionnaire) of HOME Program requirements. The information gathered will serve as a basis for conclusions to be included in the Monitoring Summary letter a nd follow-up.

4. After the monitoring visit, a Monitoring Summary letter will be forwarded to the Owner/ Property Manager that serves as the formal notification of the results of the monitoring. All negative conclusions will be considered a finding or concern with a specific required corrective action. If relevant, the letter may stipulate steps initiated by the Owner/Property Manager to correct areas of noncompliance or nonperformance. A copy will be retained in the Project monitoring file.

(P:Neigh-Im\HUD Admin\HOME\HOME Monitoring Protocol Exhibit II)

On-Site Monitoring
The City will conduct periodic on-site reviews of each HOME-assisted rental project to verify the following:

1. Continued income eligibility

 The City will ascertain if the owner is correctly calculating income using the 24 CFR Part 5 definition, inclusive of asset calculations and use of appropriate verification forms, and if households are low-income or very low-income.

The City will also review tenant files to determine if the Owner/Property Manager annually re-certifies the income of each household occupying a HOME-assisted unit, and that the tenancy still meets the HOME income requirements. Though not a HOME requirement, the recertification should commence 120 days before the anniversary date and should be completed by the tenant’s recertification anniversary date.

2. Continued occupancy eligibility

 For projects with five or more HOME-assisted units, a minimum of 20% of HOME-assisted units must continue to be occupied by very low-income households paying low HOME rents for the term of affordability, in accordance with the income limits published annually by HUD.

3. HOME Rents

 Maximum monthly rents of HOME-assisted units may not exceed Low HOME and High HOME rent limits as published annually by HUD. HOME rents include a tenant utility allowance generally provided by the local housing authority.

 When tenants receive additional subsidy through tenant-based rental assistance programs such as Section 8, additional requirements apply. Under the HOME Program, the total gross rent (for tenants receiving Section 8 assistance) includes the tenant’s share of rent, the subsidy payment, and the utility allowance . The total of these three amounts can not exceed the allowable HOME rent. Any issues of non-compliance must be corrected by the Owner/ Property Manager by reducing the gross rent (tenant share, subsidy, and utility allowance) to the allowable HOME rent effective the next interim or annual recertification.

Page 447 of 1101 ends

(P:Neigh-Im\HUD Admin\HOME\HOME Monitoring Protocol Exhibit II)

 Very low-income residents receiving project-based rental subsidies are subject to rents allowable under the federal or State project- based rental subsidy program, not the HOME rent limits.

4 Rents for over-income tenants

 Over-income tenants (those with incomes over 80% of the area median) in HOME-assisted fixed units must pay the lesser of the amount payable by the tenant under State or local law (rent control) or 30% of the household’s adjusted income for rent. There is no rent
cap for “fixed” units.

 Over-income tenants in HOME-assisted floating units must pay 30% of their adjusted income for rent. However, the rent may not exceed the market rent for comparable, unassisted units in the neighborhood.

5. Property Standards

 The Final Rule allows for inspection, using Housing Quality Standards at 24 CFR 982.201, of a sufficient sample of HOME- assisted units in a multi-family development, rather than inspection of each and every HOME-assisted unit in the development. The City will inspect 15 to 20 percent of the HOME-assisted units in a project including a minimum of one unit in every building. If consistent compliance problems are found, more units should be inspected.


Housing Quality Standards at 24 CFR 982.201 will be the code used to inspect rental units. A separate inspection checklist will be completed for each HOME-assisted unit (Exhibit 5: HQS Inspection form).

6. Affirmative Marketing


Owners/Property Managers of Developments with five or more HOME-Assisted Units are required to maintain an Affirmative Marketing Plan (Exhibit 6: Affirmative Marketing/Fair Housing Marketing Report and Exhibit 6.1: Race and Ethnic Data Reporting Form) and to implement the following affirmative marketing procedures in marketing the development:

Page 448 of 1101 ends

(P:Neigh-Im\HUD Admin\HOME\HOME Monitoring Protocol Exhibit II)

 Advertisements placed in newspapers with the broadest possible circulation, including foreign language newspapers in areas with a high percentage of non-English speaking residents.
 Place the Fair Housing logo on all advertisements and marketin g materials.
 Prominently display Fair Housing posters at rental offices.

7. Tenant Protection Provisions
a. Project Lease
The HOME Final Rule 24 CFR 92.253 (a) states that the “Lease between a tenant and an owner of rental housing assisted with HOME funds must be for not less than one year, unless by mutual agreement between the tenant and owner.”
 The City will verify that the sample lease does not include any of the following lease provisions (Exhibit 7: Illegal Lease Provisions) are prohibited under the HOME Final Rule at 24 CFR 92.253(b):

i. Agreement by tenant to be sued, to admit guilt, or to a judgment in favor of the owner in a lawsuit in connection with the lease.
ii. Agreement by tenant that owner may take, hold or sell personal property of household members without notice to the tenant and a court decision on the rights of the parties.

This prohibition, however, does not apply to an agreement by the tenant concerning disposition of personal property remaining in the housing unit after the tenant has moved out of the unit. The owner must dispose of this personal
property in accordance with State law.
iii. Agreement by tenant not to hold the owner or the owner’s agents legally responsible for any action or failure to act, whether intentional or negligent
iv. Agreement of the tenant that the owner may institute a lawsuit without notice to tenant.
v. Agreement by tenant that the owner may evict tenant or household members without instituting a civil court
proceeding in which the tenant has the opportunity to
present a defense, or before a court decision on the rights of the parties.
vi. Agreement by tenant to waive any right to a trial by jury. vii. Agreement by tenant to waive tenant’s right to appeal, or to otherwise challenge in court, a court decision in connection with the lease.
viii. Agreement by tenant to pay attorney’s fees or other legal costs even if the tenant wins in a court proceeding by the

Page 449 of 1101 ends

(P:Neigh-Im\HUD Admin\HOME\HOME Monitoring Protocol Exhibit II)

owner against the tenant. The tenant, however, may be
obligated to pay costs if the tenant loses.

b. Tenant Selection;
Under 24 CFR 92.253 (d), an owner of rental housing assisted with HOME funds must adopt written tenant selection policies and criteria that:

 Are consistent with the purpose of providing housing for very low-income and low-income families;
 Are reasonably related to program eligibility and the applicants’ ability to perform the obligations of the lease;  Provide for the selection of tenants from a written waiting list in the chronological order of their application, insofar as is practicable;
 Give prompt written notification to any rejected applicant of the grounds for any rejection.

The City will review the Owner’s tenant selection plan to ensure that tenants are selected for occupancy in accordance with HOME regulations and established management policies. The selection plan should include:

Citizenship/immigration status requirements. The owner should describe how citizenship/immigration requirements are implemented. Currently, there are no HOME restrictions on the use of assisted housing by non-citizens.

 Social Security number requirements. Requirements for providing SSNs, allowing extended time to provide proof of SSNs and procedures used when an individual has no SSN, must be described.
 Procedures for taking applications and selecting from the waiting list, such as the following:
.
o Selection of tenants must be based on order of
application.

o The plan must include policies for notification to tenant applicants of eligibility for residency, and based on
turnover history for units in the development, the
approximate date when a unit may be available.

Page 450 of 1101 ends

(P:Neigh-Im\HUD Admin\HOME\HOME Monitoring Protocol Exhibit II)

o The plan description must include maintenance of a
waiting list of applicant households eligible to occupy assisted units and units designated for various income levels, and the methods of advertising used to announce opening and closing of the waiting list.

o The plan must define each preference adopted for use
in the property and any rating, ranking, or combining of the preferences the owner has established that will
affect the order in which applicants are selected from
the waiting list. The plan should also describe the
acceptable sources of information to verify the
qualification for preferences.

o
The plan must describe the procedures used by the
owner to meet the income targeting requirements.

o Policy for opening, closing and maintaining the waiting list.

The City is proposing focused zoning text amendments to Chapters 9.04 (General Provisions), 9.08 (Single-Family Residential Development Standards), 9.12 (Multifamily Residential Development Standards), 9.16 (Commercial, Office Professional, Industrial, and Open Space Development Standards), 9.18 (Mixed Use Regulations and Development Standards), and 9.32 (Procedures and Hearings) of Title 9 of the Municipal Code to update the definitions, development standards, and land use action procedures pertaining to single-family residential development, multiple- family residential development, mixed use development, landscaping standards, transitional and supportive housing, and single room occupancy housing. The City is also proposing to add a new Chapter in Title 9 of the Municipal Code containing and consolidating special regulations pertaining specifically to housing development projects. The proposed focused zoning amendments are intended to implement recent updates to the City’s General Plan Housing Element and Land Use Element and to ensure the City of Garden Grove’s Land Use Code is consistent with all applicable State housing laws.

BACKGROUND
In recent years, several new and amended State housing laws have been adopted in order to ease local government constraints on housing development – and affordable housing in particular. Some examples of these State laws include the following:

The Housing Accountability Act (Gov’t Code § 65589.5) prevents cities from applying development standards and findings that are not objective to proposed

Page 477 of 1101 ends

•
housing development projects, limits cities’ authority to disapprove or impose certain conditions on proposed housing development projects, and imposes other temporal and procedural limits on cities’ review of housing projects.

The Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (also known as Senate Bill 330) established laws intended to streamline housing development approvals, require cities to maintain their existing affordable housing stock and protect displaced tenants of affordable housing units, limit cities’ authority to rezone property to a lower residential density, and restrict cities from establishing new residential design standards that are not objective.

The Density Bonus Law (Gov’t Code § 65915-65918) requires cities to grant increased density, incentives and concessions, and waivers of development standards to residential developers in exchange for the production of affordable housing units.

The No Net Loss Law (Gov’t Code § 65863) requires that a city make specified findings before it allows development of a parcel at a lower residential density than identified in the city’s housing element for that parcel or takes any other administrative, quasi-judicial, or legislative action to reduce, require, or permit the reduction of the allowable residential density for such a parcel.

The Housing Element Law (Gov’t Code §§ 65580 - 65589.11), among other things, requires cities to identify and remove governmental constraints on the production of housing, to treat transitional and supportive housing similarly to other residential dwellings, and to provide for a variety of housing types, including single-room occupancy housing.

Senate Bill 35 (Gov’t Code § 65913.4) requires cities to ministerially review and approve qualifying affordable housing projects.

Government Code §65651, et. seq. and §65660, et. seq. require cities to allow certain supportive housing projects and low-barrier navigation centers as uses by right.

A-035-2022 is a continuation of the efforts initiated by the previously adopted FGPUZA. It includes various focused text amendments throughout Title 9 (Land Use) of the Garden Grove Municipal Code to implement various policies and programs set forth in the General Plan Housing Element and Land Use Element and to ensure compliance with applicable State housing laws. The updated Housing and Land Use Elements contain the following policies and programs, among others, that

will be implemented by the proposed FZA:

Housing Element Policy H-2.3: “Regulatory Incentives. Provide density bonuses and other financial and regulatory incentives to facilitate the development of affordable housing.”
Housing Element Policy H-2.6: “Preserve Affordable Housing Supply. Preserve the City’s supply of affordable rental housing units, including preserving all units at risk of converting from affordable housing to market-rate housing.” Housing Element Policy H-3.1: “Maintain land use policies and regulations that create capacity for development of a range of residential development types that can fulfill local housing needs, including accessory dwelling units, low-density single-family uses, moderate-density townhomes and middle housing, higher- density apartments and condominiums, senior housing, and mixed-use projects.”
Housing Element Policy H-3.2: “Provide adequate sites to encourage housing development that will meet the needs of all income groups.” Housing Element Policy H-4.1: “Residential Development Standards. Review and adjust residential development standards, regulations, ordinances, departmental processing procedures, and residential fees related to rehabilitation and construction to determine the constraints on housing development.” Housing Element Policy H-4.3: “Housing Legislation. Monitor State and federal housing-related legislation, and update City plans, ordinances, and processes pursuant to such legislation to remove or reduce governmental constraints.” Housing Element Policy H-5.4: “Special Housing Needs Accessibility. Broaden the accessibility and availability of housing to special needs residents such as the homeless, disabled, developmentally disabled, elderly, large households, families with children, and female-headed households.”
Housing Element Program 8: Residential Sites Inventory and Monitoring of No Net Loss
Housing Element Program 13: Special Needs Housing.

Housing Element Program 16: Objective Design Standards.

Housing Element Program 17: Zoning Code Update.

Housing Element Program 23: Reasonable Accommodation.

Land Use Element Implementation Program LU-IMP-1D: “Periodically review Zoning Code provisions to ensure that standards and project review processes further the City’s housing production and economic development objectives.” Land Use Element Policy LU-3.2: “Support development of multi-family housing

that provides a diversity of densities, types, and prices that meet the needs of all household income levels .”
Land Use Element Policy LU-3.3: “Encourage developers to build housing projects at maximum allowable densities.”
Land Use Element Implementation Program LU-IMP-3B: “Require that the design of multi-family housing in mixed-use areas and major corridors provide a buffer between the corridor and lower-density residential areas.” Land Use Element Implementation Program LU-IMP-3C: “Require attractive side and rear facades and landscaping on multi-family housing and mixed-use structures to improve the streetscape and create a visual transition to lower- density residential areas.”
Land Use Element Implementation Program LU-IMP-3E: “Use programs and incentives outlined in the Housing Element to produce all types of desired multi- family housing.”

To help cities and counties prepare, adopt, and implement plans and process improvements that facilitate housing approvals in accordance with State laws, the State established the SB 2 Planning Grants Program and the Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) Grant Program, which provide funding and technical assistance to all local governments in California.

The City of Garden Grove was awarded grant funding through the SB 2 and LEAP Planning Grant Programs. The City has leveraged these funds, in part, to support the completion and adoption of focused zoning code amendments.

Purpose of the Focused Zoning Amendments (FZA):

The primary purpose of the proposed focused zoning amendments (FZA) is to implement recent updates to the City’s General Plan Housing Element and Land Use Element and to ensure the City of Garden Grove’s Land Use Code is consistent with all applicable State housing laws, including, but not limited to, the Housing Accountability Act, the Housing Crisis Act, the State Density Bonus Law, and the Housing Element Law. In addition, the proposed FZA are intended to: clarify existing provisions in the Municipal Code applicable to housing developments and landscaping requirements; respond to challenges developers and the City have experienced with implementing some existing mixed-use development standards; establish objective design standards that inspire quality design; and provide clear expectations for applicants, decision makers, and residents.

On April 21, 2022, City Staff, along with its consultant, MIG, conducted an initial study session, open to the public, with the Planning Commission during which a general overview was provided on the proposed code updates and changes. On May 10, 2022, a similar study session, also open to the public, was conducted with the City Council. Feedback received from the Planning Commission and City Council included recommendations to address the following:

Page 480 of 1101 ends

•
Requiring building step backs for the second story and above Requirements for varied façade materials
Requirements for “four-sided architecture”, ensuring that all sides of a building incorporate high-quality building details and finishes
Removing the existing bathroom limitation for single-family dwellings Requiring operational requirements for supportive/transitional housing Requiring anti-graffiti provisions (e.g., crawling vines) for public facing perimeter walls

All recommended items above were incorporated into the proposed zoning text amendments.

On August 4, 2022 and August 9, 2022, second study sessions, open to the public, were held with the Planning Commission and City Council, respectively, where an overview was provided on the proposed code updates and changes. Prior to the study sessions, clean and redline versions of the draft proposed zoning text amendments were provided to the Planning Commission and City Council and were also made available to the public on the City’s website (ggcity.org/planning).

The proposed FZA are substantively the same as presented at the August 4, 2022 Planning Commission and August 9, 2022 City Council meetings. Minor non- substantive changes recommended by City Staff, include the following:

Chapter 9.08 (Single-Family Residential Development Standards):

On September 1, 2022, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider Amendment No. A-035-2022, a request by the City of Garden Grove to amend Title 9 (Land Use) of the Garden Grove Municipal Code to make focused zoning amendments to implement various policies and programs set forth in the General Plan Housing Element and Land Use Element and to ensure compliance with applicable State housing laws. The City proposes focused zoning text amendments to Chapters 9.04 (General Provisions), 9.08 (Single-Family Residential Development Standards), 9.12 (Multifamily Residential Development Standards), 9.16 (Commercial, Office Professional, Industrial, and Open Space Development Standards), 9.18 (Mixed Use Regulations and Development Standards), and 9.32 (Procedures and Hearings) of Title 9 of the Municipal Code to update the definitions, development standards, and land use action procedures pertaining to single-family residential development, multiple-family residential development, mixed use development, landscaping standards, transitional and supportive housing, and single room occupancy housing. The City also proposes to add a new Chapter in Title 9 of the Municipal Code containing and consolidating special regulations pertaining specifically to housing development projects. One (1) public comment letter was received on the item. In general, the commenter in the letter suggested that setbacks be measured from visible demarcation points, such as a street or curb, rather than from the property line. There were no speakers from the public. By a vote of 4-0 (with 3 commissioners absent), the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 6051-22 recommending that the City Council approve Amendment No. A-035-2022.

DISCUSSION
The proposed FZA will make text amendments to the following chapters of Title 9 of the Municipal Code to update the definitions, development standards, and land use action procedures pertaining to single-family residential, multiple-family residential, mixed use, landscaping standards, transitional and supportive housing, and single room occupancy housing:

Chapter 9.04 (General Provisions)
Chapter 9.08 (Single-Family Residential Development Standards) Chapter 9.12 (Multifamily Residential Development Standards) Chapter 9.16 (Commercial, Office Professional, Industrial, and Open Space Development Standards)

Separate procedures for the ministerial and discretionary review of housing development projects and related land use actions, which are consistent with the Housing Accountability Act and other State housing laws.

Page 488 of 1101 ends

Provisions expressly delegating authority to the Department Director to review and approve housing development projects that are subject to ministerial review by law and to conduct the initial determination of a housing development project’s compliance and conformance with applicable, objective general plan, zoning, and subdivision standards and criteria and providing written notice to the applicant within 30 or 60 days, as required by the Housing Accountability Act (Gov’t Code §65589.5(j)).

Provisions specifying what the City and applicants must do to comply with the “no net loss” provisions of the Housing Crisis Act (Gov’t code §66300) and the State No Net Loss Law (Gov’t Code §65863). This section includes a requirement that applicants provide specified assistance to the City to comply with the “no net loss” requirements when the applicant is seeking to develop a site identified for housing in the City’s Housing Element in a manner that would result in the remaining sites identified in the City’s Housing Element not being adequate to accommodate the City’s RHNA.

A section that updates and consolidates in a single location in the Code the City’s residential density bonus regulations pursuant to Government Code 65915.

A new section establishing minimum requirements and procedures for the preparation, execution, and recording of affordable housing regulatory agreements (such as density bonus agreements) containing affordability covenants for housing units when such agreements are required by State law or another provision of the Code. This section delegates authority to the City Manager to approve, execute, and implement such agreements. This section also makes applicants responsible for reimbursing the City for professional fees and costs incurred by the City to prepare such regulatory agreements, as well as the City’s annual monitoring costs for these agreements.

A new section implementing the Housing Crisis Act provisions that require developers to replace demolished affordable housing units and to provide relocation assistance and other benefits to existing occupants of such units (Gov’t Code §66300(d). These provisions are intended to provide clear guidance to applicants, City staff, and affected tenants to assist with compliance with these State mandated requirements. This section also makes applicants responsible for reimbursing the City for professional fees and costs incurred by the City to implement these State mandates.

A section specifying the applicable legal requirements and review and approval procedures for transitional and supporting housing projects, including “Supportive Housing For the Homeless” and “Low-Barrier Navigation Centers,” pursuant to State law.

Cost Assessment:

Policy H-4.2 of the Housing Element provides for the City to assess proposed ordinances and policies affecting housing development for effect on housing cost, recognizing that some increases in housing costs might be offset by decreases in other household costs.

The primary intent of many of the proposed Code amendments is to provide clearer, more objective, standards and guidance for developers, which is anticipated to result in more regulatory certainty and streamlined processing and review for housing

development projects. This should lower overall development costs for housing projects.

Although developers will experience higher costs for implementing State housing law mandates, such as providing replacement housing and tenant relocation benefits per the Housing Crisis Act and entering into affordable housing regulatory agreements, such increased costs are a direct result of State law and private development decisions, not the proposed new City Land Use Code provisions implementing the State law.

The proposed Code amendments do include provisions requiring developers and applicants to provide assistance to the City in complying with State “no net loss” requirements (as authorized by State law) and to reimburse the City for certain additional third-party professional fees and costs and ongoing monitoring costs associated with affordable housing regulatory agreements and relocation plans for displaced tenants per the Housing Crisis Act mandates. Although housing development costs may be marginally higher as a result of developers having to bear these costs, these requirements will help enable the City to meet its RHNA obligations, to effectively monitor and ensure deed restricted affordable housing units continue to be provided at an affordable rent or housing cost, and to ensure that tenants of affordable protected units, that are displaced as part of a new housing development, are able to find new housing at a comparable cost.

In conjunction with this request, the City of Garden Grove will consider a determination that no further review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) is required pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 because the proposed focused zoning amendments implement the General Plan update analyzed in the City of Garden Grove Focused General Plan Update and Zoning Amendments Environmental Impact Report, State Clearinghouse No. 2021060714 (“Garden Grove General Plan Update and Focused Zoning Amendments”), potential impacts of the focused zoning amendments fall within the scope of the General Plan Update EIR, and the focused zoning amendments will not result in any new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
None.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:

Conduct a Public Hearing;
Introduce and conduct the first reading of an Ordinance approving Amendment No. A-035-2022 to amend Title 9 (Land Use) of the Garden Grove Municipal Code to make focused zoning amendments to implement various policies and

HEARING DATE: September 1, 2022 GENERAL PLAN: N/A
CASE NO.: Amendment No. A-035-2022 ZONE: N/A
APPLICANT: City of Garden Grove APN: N/A
OWNER: N/A CEQA DETERMINATION: FGPUZA EIR

REQUEST:

A request by the City of Garden Grove to amend Title 9 (Land Use) of the Garden Grove Municipal Code to make focused zoning amendments to implement various policies and programs set forth in the General Plan Housing Element and Land Use Element and to ensure compliance with applicable State housing laws. The City is proposing focused zoning text amendments to Chapters 9.04 (General Provisions),

9.08 (Single-Family Residential Development Standards), 9.12 (Multifamily Residential Development Standards), 9.16 (Commercial, Office Professional, Industrial, and Open Space Development Standards), 9.18 (Mixed Use Regulations and Development Standards), and 9.32 (Procedures and Hearings) of Title 9 of the Municipal Code to update the definitions, development standards, and land use action procedures pertaining to single-family residential development , multiple-family residential development, mixed use development, landscaping standards, transitional and supportive housing, and single room occupancy housing.

The City is also proposing to add a new Chapter in Title 9 of the Municipal Code containing and consolidating special regulations pertaining specifically to housing development projects. The proposed focused zoning amendments are intended to implement recent updates to the City’s General Plan Housing Element and Land Use Element and to ensure the City of Garden Grove’s Land Use Code is consistent with all applicable State housing laws.

BACKGROUND:

In recent years, several new and amended State housing laws have been adopted in order to ease local government constraints on housing development – and affordable housing in particular. Some examples of these State laws include the following:

 The Housing Accountability Act (Gov’t Code § 65589.5) prevents cities from applying development standards and findings that are not objective to proposed housing development projects, limits cities’ authority to disapprove or impose certain conditions on proposed housing development projects, and imposes other temporal and procedural limits on cities’ review of housing projects.

Page 492 of 1101 ends

STAFF REPORT FOR PUBLIC HEARING PAGE 2 CASE NO. A-035-2022

 The Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (also known as Senate Bill 330) established laws intended to streamline housing development approvals, require cities to maintain their existing affordable housing stock and protect displaced tenants of affordable housing units, limit cities’ authority to rezone property to a lower residential density, and restrict cities from establishing new residential design standards that are not objective.

 The Density Bonus Law (Gov’t Code § 65915 -65918) requires cities to grant increased density, incentives and concessions, and waivers of development standards to residential developers in exchange for the production of affordable housing units.

 The No Net Loss Law (Gov’t Code § 65863) requires that a city make specified findings before it allows development of a parcel at a lower residential density than identified in the city’s housing element for that parcel or takes any other administrative, quasi-judicial, or legislative action to reduce, require, or permit the reduction of the allowable residential density for such a parcel.

 The Housing Element Law (Gov ’t Code §§ 65580 - 65589.11), among other things, requires cities to identify and remove governmental constraints on the production of housing, to treat transitional and supportive housing similarly to other residential dwellings, and to provide for a variety of housing types, including single-room occupancy housing.

 Senate Bill 35 (Gov’t Code § 65913.4) requires cities to ministerially review and approve qualifying affordable housing projects.

 Government Code §65651, et. seq. and §65660, et. seq. require cities to allow certain supportive housing projects and low-barrier navigation centers as uses by right.

In 2021, the City Council adopted a Focused General Plan Update and related Zoning Amendments (collectively, the “FGPUZA”), which included General Plan Amendment No. GPA-003-2021, consisting of updates to the General Plan Housing Element, Land Use Element, and the Safety Element, and adoption of a new General Plan Environmental Justice Element to comply with State law provisions, including complying with the 6th Cycle (2021-2029) of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) that requires the City to plan for 19,168 residential dwelling units for all income levels during the 2021-2029 planning period. Amendment No. A- 035-2022 is a continuation of the efforts initiated by the previously adopted FGPUZA. It includes various focused text amendments throughout Title 9 (Land Use) of the Garden Grove Municipal Code to implement various policies and programs set forth in the General Plan Housing Element and Land Use Element and to ensure compliance with applicable State housing laws. The updated Housing and Land Use Elements contain the following policies and programs, among others, that will be implemented by the proposed FZA:

 The Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (also known as Senate Bill 330) established laws intended to streamline housing development approvals, require cities to maintain their existing affordable housing stock and protect displaced tenants of affordable housing units, limit cities ’ authority to rezone property to a lower residential density, and restrict cities from establishing new residential design standards that are not objective.

Page 508 of 1101 ends

Resolution No. 6051-22 Page 3

 The Housing Element Law ( Gov’t Code §§ 65580 - 65589.11), among other things, requires cities to identify and remove governmental constraints on the production of housing, to treat transitional and supportive housing similarly to other residential dwellings, and to provide for a variety of housing types, including single-room occupancy housing.

 Senate Bill 35 (Gov’t Code § 65913.4) requires cities to ministerially review and approve qualifying affordable housing projects.

 Government Code §65651, et. seq. and §65660, et. seq. require cities to allow certain supportive housing projects and low-barrier navigation centers as uses by right.

In 2021, the Garden Grove City Council adopted a Focused General Plan Update and related Zoning Amendments (collectively, the “FGPUZA”), which included General Plan Amendment No. GPA- 003-2021, consisting of updates to the General Plan Housing Element, Land Use Element, and the Safety Element, and adoption of a new General Plan Environmental Justice Element to comply with State law provisions, including complying with the 6 th Cycle (2021-2029) of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) that requires the City to plan for 19,168 residential dwelling units for all income levels during the 2021-2029 planning period.

Amendment No. A- 035-2022 is a continuation of the efforts initiated by the previously adopted FGPUZA. It includes various focused text amendments throughout Title 9 (Land Use) of the Garden Grove Municipal Code to implement various policies and programs set forth in the General Plan Housing Element and Land Use Element and to ensure compliance with applicable State housing laws.

Page 509 of 1101 ends

Resolution No. 6051-22 Page 4

Accountability Act, the Housing Crisis Act, the State Density Bonus Law, the State No Net Loss Law, and the Housing Element Law. In addition, the proposed FZA are intended to: clarify existing provisions in the Municipal Code applicable to housing developments and landscaping requirements; respond to challenges developers and the City have experienced with implementing some existing mixed-use development standards; establish objective design standards that inspire quality design; and provide clear expectations for applicants, decision makers, and residents.

The proposed FZA will make text amendments to the following chapters of Title 9 of the Municipal Code to update the definitions, development standards, and land use action procedures pertaining to single-family residential development , multiple-family residential development, mixed use development, landscaping standards, transitional and supportive housing, and single room occupancy housing:

 Chapter 9.04 (General Provisions)
 Chapter 9.08 (Single-Family Residential Development Standards)Chapter

9.12 (Multifamily Residential Development Standards)
 Chapter 9.16 (Commercial, Office Professional, Industrial, and Open Space Development Standards)
 Chapter 9.18 (Mixed Use Regulations and Development Standards)  Chapter 9.32 (Procedures and Hearings)

The proposed amendments to Chapter 9.04 will clarify internal references, eliminate outdated procedural provisions, and update definitions in conjunction with the proposed changes in other Chapters.

The primary intent of the proposed amendments to Chapter 9.08 is to codify existing policies for single family residential improvements, not expressly written in the Municipal Code, aimed at addressing impacts on city infrastructure and on-site and on-street parking, to provide clearer and more objective direction to developers and property owners, and to conform zoning regulations regarding transitional and supportive housing to existing State law.

The primary intent of the proposed amendments to Chapter 9.12 is to ensure all development standards in the Municipal Code that are applicable to multifamily housing development projects in the R-2 (Limited Multiple Residential) and R- 3 (Multiple-Family Residential) zones, are objective and in compliance with State housing laws.

The primary intent of the proposed amendments to Chapter 9.16 is to comply with State law in regards to Low-Barrier Navigation Centers and to update existing landscaping standards.

Page 510 of 1101 ends

FINDINGS AND REASONS:

1. The Amendment is internally consistent with the goals, objectives and elements of the City’s General Plan.

The City of Garden Grove is proposing to amend Title 9 (Land Use) of the Garden Grove Municipal Code to make focused zoning amendments to implement various policies and programs set forth in the General Plan Housing Element and Land Use Element and to ensure compliance with applicable State housing laws. Focused zoning text amendments to Chapters

9.04 (General Provisions), 9.08 (Single-Family Residential Development Standards), 9.12 (Multifamily Residential Development Standards), 9.16 (Commercial, Office Professional, Industrial, and Open Space Development Standards), 9.18 (Mixed Use Regulations and Development Standards), and

9.32 (Procedures and Hearings) of Title 9 of the Municipal Code are proposed to update the definitions, development standards, and land use action procedures pertaining to single-family residential, multiple-family residential, mixed use, landscaping standards, supportive housing, and single room occupancy housing. The addition of a new Chapter in Title 9 of the Municipal Code containing and consolidating special regulations pertaining specifically to housing development projects is also proposed. The proposed focused zoning amendments are intended to implement recent updates to the City’s General Plan Housing Element and Land Use Element and to ensure the City of Gard en Grove’s Land Use Code is consistent with all applicable State housing laws, including, but not limited to, the Housing Accountability Act, the Housing Crisis Act, the State Density Bonus Law, the State No Net Loss Law, and the Housing Element Law.

The Amendment is internally consistent with goals, policies, objectives, and implementation programs of the Housing Element and Land Use Element of the City’s General Plan, including specifically the following:

Land Use Element:

Goal LU- 1: The City of Garden Grove is a well-planned community with sufficient land uses and intensities to meet the needs of anticipated growth and achieve the community’s vision . The Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) is mandated by State Housing Law as part of the periodic process of updating local Housing Elements of General Plans. The RHNA quantifies the housing need, for all income levels, within each jurisdiction. Garden Grove’s RHNA allocation for the 2021 -2029 planning period is 19,168 units. In order to achieve the Sta te’s required RHNA allocation for the City of 19,168 future residential units, associated focused amendments to the Land Use Element and focused zoning amendments were recently adopted to accommodate the increase in residential densities in the

Page 513 of 1101 ends

Resolution No. 6051-22 Page 8

city, and to maintain consistency with the goals, policies, and programs of the recent Housing Element Update. The primary purpose of the proposed Amendment is to implement the recent updates to the City’s General Plan Housing Element and Land Use Element and to ensure the City of Garden Grove’s Land Use Code is consistent with all applicable State housing laws, including, but not limited to, the Housing Accountability Act, the Housing Crisis Act, the State Density Bonus Law, the No Net Loss Law, and the Housing Element Law. In addition, the proposed FZA are intended to: clarify existing provisions in the Municipal Code applicable to housing developments and landscaping requirements; respond to challenges developers and the City have experienced with implementing some existing mixed-use development standards; establish objective design standards that inspire quality design; and provide clear expectations for applicants, decision makers, and residents.

The proposed Amendment ensures the City’s Land Use Code is adequate ly updated to meet State housing law requirements, supporting the State’s goals, in part, to facilitate the production of housing, including affordable housing. The updated and new code provisions will help ensure the City of Garden Grove continues to be a well-planned community and the community’s vision is achieved.

Policy LU-1.3: Support the production of housing citywide that is affordable to lower- and moderate-income households consistent with the policies and targets set forth in the Housing Element. The proposed Amendment, in part, will update Municipal Code Chapter 9.32 (Procedures and Hearings) to include “no net loss” provisions and findings for certain land use actions, in accordance with Government Code Sections 66300 and 65863, which ensures the City of Garden Grove’s Housing Element sites inventory can accommodate its share of the RHNA (Regional Housing Needs Allocation) by income level, which includes affordable housing to lower- and moderate-income households, throughout the planning period. The Amendment is consistent with the objectives of Program 8 (Residential Sites Inventory and Monitoring of No Net Loss) in the Housing Element, which requires the City to establish “No Net Loss” provisions and establish a process for compliance. The addition of a new chapter (Chapter 9.60) in Title 9 of the Municipal Code, titled “Special Housing Regulations”, containing and consolidating special regulations pertaining specifically to housing development projects, including projects for affordable housing, is also proposed, which, in part, specifies provisions, consistent with State housing law, for residential density bonus, affordable housing regulatory agreements, and dwelling unit protection regulations (Senate Bill 330).

Further supporting the intent and objective of Housing Element Policy LU-1.3, the proposed Amendment will update various sections of Chapter 9.08 (Single-Family Residential Development Standards) , Chapter 9.12 (Multifamily Residential Development Standards), Chapter 9.16 (Commercial,

Page 514 of 1101 ends

Resolution No. 6051-22 Page 9

Office Professional, Industrial, and Open Space Development Standards), and Chapter 9.18 (Mixed Use Regulations and Development Standards) to allow various forms of affordable housing for lower-income households, which include transitional and supportive housing , “Supportive Housing for the Homeless”, Single Room Occupancy (SRO), and Low-Barrier Navigation Centers, as permitted uses by right within specified zones, consistent with State housing laws. Facilitating the approval of affordable housing projects, the proposed Amendment also establishes new provisions under the new Municipal Code Chapter 9.60 (Special Housing Regulations), which include, in part, provisions specifying the findings required for disapproval of housing development projects, including additional findings required for affordable housing projects, consistent with the Housing Accountability Act (Gov’t Code §65589.5).

LU-IMP-1D: Periodically review Zoning Code provisions to ensure that standards and project review processes further the City’s housing production and economic development objectives. The primary purpose of the proposed focused zoning amendments (FZA) is to implement recent updates to the City’s General Plan Housing Element and Land Use Element and to ensure the City of Garden Grove’s Land Use Code is consistent with all applicable State housing laws, including, but not limited to, the Housing Accountability Act, the Housing Crisis Act, the State Density Bonus Law, and the Housing Element Law. In addition, the proposed FZA are intended to: clarify existing provisions in the Municipal Code applicable to housing developments and landscaping requirements; respond to challenges developers and the City have experienced with implementing some existing mixed-use development standards; establish objective design standards that inspire quality design; and provide clear expectations for applicants, decision makers, and residents.

The proposed Code amendments are intended to provide clear and objective standards and guidance for developers, which is anticipated to result in more regulatory certainty and streamlined processing and review for housing development projects. Additionally, under Municipal Code Chapter 9.32 (Procedures and Hearings), the proposed Amendment will update procedural provisions for review of land use actions and establish different required findings for housing development projects within Chapter 9.60 (Special Housing Regulations), eliminating subjective criteria, and ensuring consistency and compliance with State housing laws.

Policy LU-3.2: Support development of multi-family housing that provides a diversity of densities, types, and prices that meet the needs of all household income levels. The proposed Amendment, in part, will establish objective design standards that inspire quality design, while also providing clear expectations for applicants, decision makers, and residents. The updates and new Code provisions strive to meet the State’s goals, in part, to facilitate the production of housing, and affordable housing in particular. The Amendment

Page 515 of 1101 ends

Resolution No. 6051-22 Page 10

supports the provision of a variety of types of housing, densities, and for all income levels, which include, but are not limited to, affordable housing, transitional and supportive housing , “Supportive Housing for the Homeless”, and Single Room Occupancy (SRO) housing.

Policy LU-3.3: Encourage developers to build housing projects at maximum allowable densities. The proposed Amendment, in part, will remove the existing restrictive sliding scale R-3 zone density table, “Table of Development Density R-3 Zone”, within Municipal Code Section 9.12.040.050 (Special Requirements —Multiple-Family Residential) , which currently does not allow a property to be developed at the maximum density allowed by the zoning or the General Plan Land Use Designation. The proposed Amendment will establish and encourage maximum residential densities consistent with General Plan maximum densities, which are 21 units per acre for the R- 2 zone, and 32 units per acre for the R-3 zone, along with updated and new Code provisions that are objective and clear, and that will allow for greater flexibility in project design.

LU-IMP-3B: Require that the design of multi-family housing in mixed-use areas and on major corridors provide a buffer between the corridor and lower-density residential areas. The proposed Amendment, in part, will establish various code provisions that aim to protect and buffer multi-family housing from lower-density residential areas, such as those properties zoned R-1 (Single-Family Residential). Such updates and changes include: updated privacy provisions to better protect and mitigate views into private recreation areas on adjacent properties; requiring anti-graffiti provisions (e.g., crawling vines) for public facing perimeter walls; establishing maximum building height requirements for multifamily residential buildings when adjacent to R-1 (Single-Family Residential) zoned property; establishing updated requirements for screening and location of mechanical equipment; and establishing setback and stepback requirements for first, second, and third floor building areas for multi-family developments.

LU-IMP-3C: Require attractive side and rear facades and landscaping on multi-family housing and mixed-use structures to improve the streetscape and create a visual transition to lower-density residential areas. The proposed Amendment, in part, will establish various code provisions that foster attractive building facades and landscaping for multi-family housing and mixed-use structures that improve the streetscape. Such proposed changes include, but are not limited to: Incorporating clear building design standards that require a minimum number of architectural components that may be selected from a provided list of exterior finishes; requiring enhancements to all building elevations (“4 -sided architecture”) for new mixed use buildings with at least two-thirds residential; updating standards that pertain to enhancement of pedestrian areas in and along public

right-of-ways (sidewalk areas and building frontages); amending the landscaping standards for clarification purposes and to add flexibility in acceptable types of landscaping, groundcover, and substitute landscaping to account for drought conditions ; establishing updated requirements for screening and location of mechanical equipment; and requiring anti-graffiti provisions (e.g., crawling vines) for public facing perimeter walls.

LU-IMP-3E: Use programs and incentives outlined in the Housing Element to produce all types of desired multi-family housing.

Section 9.08.030.060 is hereby amended to read as follows:

Section 9.08.030.060 Density Bonuses and Other Incentives for Affordable H ousingReserved

A. Purpose and Intent. The California Legislature has determined that the provision of affordable housing for moderate, lower and very low-income individuals and senior citizens, and childcare facilities are of primary importance in the state, and must be encouraged at the local level. The purpose of this section is to establish a methodology pursuant to state law providing incentives to developers proposing affordable housing to the community.

B. Applicability. This section shall apply to all housing developments, as defined in this section, consisting of five or more units, unless the City Council makes a finding that the bonus and incentives are not needed to achieve affordability.

C. Definitions. As used in this section, the following words and phrases shall have the following meanings:

1. “Child care facility” means a child day care facility, other than a family day care home, including, but not limited to, infant centers, preschools, extended day care facilities, and school-age child care centers.

2. “Concession or incentive” means:
a. A reduction in site development standards or a modification of zoning code requirements or architectural design requirements that exceed the minimum building standards approved by the State Building Standards Commission as provided in Part 2.5 (commencing with Section 18901) of Division 13 of the Health and Safety Code, and that result in, including, but not limited to, a reduction in setback and square footage requirements and in the ratio of vehicular parking spaces that would otherwise be required that results in identifiable, financially sufficient, and actual cost reductions; or b. Approval of mixed use zoning in conjunction with a housing project if commercial, office, industrial, or other land uses will reduce the cost of a housing development and if the commercial, office, industrial, or other land uses are compatible with a housing project and the existing or planned development in the area, including the City’s General Plan, where a proposed housing project will be located; or c. Other regulatory incentives or concessions proposed by the applicant or the City that result in identifiable, financially sufficient, and actual cost reductions. d. This subdivision shall not require the City to provide direct financial incentives or publicly owned land for the housing development, or to waive fees or dedication requirements.

3. “Density bonus” means a density increase of at least 20% (unless the applicant elects a lower percentage) over the otherwise maximum allowable residential density under the applicable zoning ordinance and land use element of the General Plan for housing developments meeting the criteria of subsection D.1.a.i—iii, of at least five percent for housing developments meeting the criteria of subsection D.1.a.iv (unless the applicant elects a lower percentage), and of at least 15% for housing developments that entail a land donation meeting the criteria of subsection D.1.b (unless the applicant elects a lower percentage).
a. The amount of the density bonus to which an applicant is entitled shall vary according to the amount by which the percentage of affordable housing units provided exceeds the percentage established in subsection D. For each one percent increase above 10% in the percentage of units affordable to low income households, the density bonus shall be increased by 1.5% up to a maximum of 35%. For each one percent increase above five percent in the percentage of units affordable to very low-income households, the density bonus shall be increased by 2.5% up to a maximum of 35%. For each one percent increase above 10% of the percentage of units affordable to moderate income households, the density bonus shall be increased by one percent up to a maximum of 35%. When calculating the number of permitted density bonus units, any calculation resulting in fractional units shall be rounded to the next higher whole number. The density bonus units shall not be included in the maximum total when determining the number of target units required to qualify for a density bonus. b. Each housing development is entitled to only one density bonus, which may be selected based on the percentage for either very low-income target units, low-income target units, moderate income target units, or the project’s status as a senior citizen housing development. Density bonuses from more than one category may not be combined.
c. The following table summarizes the above information:

For the purpose of calculating a density bonus, the residential units do not have to be based upon individual subdivision maps or parcels. The density bonus shall be permitted in geographic areas of the housing development other than the areas where the units for the lower income households are located. The location of units, whether target units or non-restricted units, shall be in conformance with the specific plan, or other zoning regulations, as applicable.

a. To construct the housing development with at least one of the following:
i. At least 10% of the total units of the housing development reserved for lower income households; or ii. At least five percent of the total units of the housing development reserved for very low income households; or

iv. At least 10% of the total units of a newly constructed condominium project or planned development as target units affordable to moderate income households. b. To donate land to the City as provided for in this subsection.

An applicant shall be eligible for the increased density bonus described in this subsection if all of the following conditions are met:
i. The applicant donates and transfers the land no later than the date of approval of the final subdivision map, parcel map, or residential development application.

Page 529 of 1101 ends

Garden Grove Focused Code Updates – SFR Standards Public Hearing Draft – September 2022 4 | P a g e
ii. The development acreage and zoning classification of the land being transferred are sufficient to permit construction of units affordable to very low income households in an amount not less than 10% of the number of residential units of the proposed development. iii.

No later than the date of approval of the final subdivision map, parcel map, or of the residential development, the transferred land shall have all of the permits and approvals, other than building permits, necessary for the development of the very low income housing units on the transferred land, except that the City may subject the proposed development to subsequent design review to the extent authorized by subdivision (i) of Government Code Section 65583.2 if the design is not reviewed by the City prior to the time of transfer.
iv. The transferred land and the affordable units shall be subject to a deed restriction ensuring continued affordability of the units consistent with paragraphs (1) and (2) of subdivision (c) of Government Code Section 65915, which shall be recorded on the property at the time of dedication. v. The land is transferred to the City or to a housing developer approved by the City. The City may require the applicant to identify and transfer the land to the developer. vi. The transferred land shall be within the boundary of the proposed development or, if the City agrees, within one-quarter mile of the boundary of the proposed development.

2. When an applicant agrees to construct a housing development that conforms to the requirements of subsection D.1 and includes a child care facility that will be located on the premises of, as part of, or adjacent to, the project, unless it finds, based upon substantial evidence, that the community has adequate child care facilities, the City shall grant either:
a. An additional density bonus that is an amount of square feet of residential space that is equal to or greater than the amount of square feet in the child care facility; or b. An additional concession or incentive that contributes significantly to the economic feasibility of the construction of the child care facility,
c. As a condition of approval of a housing development, the applicant shall ensure that the following occur:

Developer shall also agree to continue affordability of all density bonus units for very low income households, low income households, and moderate income households for the timeframes established in subsection G.

E. Required Concessions or Incentives.

1. A developer may submit a proposal to the City for the specific concessions or incentives that the developer requests pursuant to this section, and may request a meeting with the City. The City shall grant the concession or incentive requested by the developer, unless the City makes a written finding, based on substantial evidence, of either of the following:
a. The concessions or incentives are not required in order to provide affordable housing costs as defined in Section 50052.5 of the California Health and Safety Code or for rents for the targeted units to be set as specified in subsection D.3.
b. The concession or incentive would have a specific adverse impact, as defined in Government Code Section 65589.5, subdivision (d), paragraph (2), upon public health and safety or the physical environment or on any real property that is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources and for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact without rendering the development unaffordable to low and moderate income households.

2. The developer shall receive the following number of concessions or incentives:

Page 530 of 1101 ends

a. Zero to one bedrooms: one onsite parking space.
b. Two to three bedrooms: two onsite parking spaces. c. Four and more bedrooms: two and one-half parking spaces. d. If the total number of parking spaces required for a development is other than a whole number, the number shall be rounded up to the next whole number.

F. Waiver or Modification. Developers may seek a waiver or modification of development standards that have the effect of precluding the construction of a housing development meeting the criteria of subsection D.1.a at the densities or with the concessions or incentives permitted by the section.

G. Continued Affordability and Development Standards.

1.

2. Moderate income target units shall remain affordable to the initial occupant, which must be persons and families of moderate income, as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 50093. Upon resale, the seller of the unit shall retain the value of any improvements, the down payment, and the seller’s proportionate share of appreciation. The City shall recapture its proportionate share of appreciation, which shall then be used within three years for any of the purposes described in subdivision (e) of Health and Safety Code Section 33334.2 that promote homeownership. For purposes of this subdivision, the City’s proportionate share of appreciation shall be equal to the percentage by which the initial sale price to the moderate-income household was less than the fair market value of the home at the time of initial sale.

3. Target units shall be constructed concurrently with non-restricted units or pursuant to a schedule included in the density bonus housing agreement.

4. Target units shall be built on site and shall be dispersed within the housing development. The number of bedrooms of the target units shall be equivalent to the bedroom mix of the non-target units of

Page 531 of 1101 ends

Garden Grove Focused Code Updates – SFR Standards Public Hearing Draft – September 2022 6 | P a g e
the housing development, except that the developer may include a higher proportion of target units with more bedrooms. The design and appearance of the target units shall be compatible with the design of the total housing development. Housing developments shall comply with all applicable development standards, except those that may be modified as provided by this section.

H. Application Requirements and Review.

1. Preliminary Proposal. A developer shall submit a preliminary proposal for development to determine the means for complying with this section. The preliminary proposal shall be submitted prior to any formal requests for any land use action. All density calculations resulting in fractional units shall be rounded up to the next whole number. The preliminary proposal shall be subject to the same fees and procedural requirements for a preliminary proposal review. Within 60 days of the receipt of a complete written preliminary proposal, the City shall notify the developer, in writing, of the procedures required to comply with this section.

2. Formal Application. An application proposing a housing development pursuant to this section shall be submitted with the first application for approval of a housing development and processed concurrently with all other applications required for the housing development. The application shall be submitted on a form prescribed by the City and shall include at least the following information:
a. Site plan showing total number of units, number and location of target units, and number and location of proposed density bonus units.
b. Level of affordability of target units and proposals for ensuring affordability. c. Description of any requested concession or incentive, waivers or modifications of development standards, or modified parking standards. For all concessions and incentives, except mixed-use development, the application shall include evidence that the requested incentives and concessions result in identifiable, financially sufficient, and actual cost reductions. For waivers or modifications of development standards, the application shall show that the waiver or modification is necessary to make the housing units economically feasible and that the development standards will have the effect of precluding the construction of a housing development meeting the criteria of subsection D.1.a at the densities or with the concessions or incentives permitted by this section. d. If a density bonus or concession is requested for a land donation, the application shall show the location of the land to be dedicated and provide evidence that each of the findings included in subsection D.1.b can be made.
e. If a density bonus or concession is requested for a child care facility, the application shall show the location and square footage of the child care facilities and provide evidence that each of the findings included in subsection D.1.c can be made.

3. In accordance with state law, neither the granting of a concession, incentive, waiver, or modification nor the granting of a density bonus shall be interpreted, in and of itself, to require a General Plan amendment, zoning change, variance, or other discretionary approval.

4. An application for a density bonus, incentive, concession, waiver, modification, or revised parking standard pursuant to this section shall be considered by and acted upon by the approval body with authority to approve the housing development. Any decision regarding a density bonus, incentive, concession, waiver, modification, or revised parking standard may be appealed to the City Council.

5. Before approving an application for a density bonus, concession or incentive, waiver, or modification, the approval body shall make the following findings:
a. If the density bonus is based all or in part on donation of land, the findings included in subsection D.1.b.
b. If the density bonus or concession or incentive is based all or in part on the inclusion of a child care facility, the findings included in subsection D.2.
c. If the concession or incentive includes mixed use development, the finding included in subsection C.2.b.
d. If a waiver or modification is requested, the developer has shown that the waiver or modification is necessary to make the housing units the economically feasible.
