Garden Grove City Council
October 10, 2023

Chris Chung, Senior Planner

In addition, pursuant to Government Code section 65583.3, the City must submit an electronic sites inventory with its adopted housing element. The City must utilize standards, forms, and definitions adopted by HCD. Please see HCD’s housing element webpage at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/planning-and-community-development/housing- elements for a copy of the form and instructions. The City can reach out to HCD at [email protected] for technical assistance.

Public participation in the development, adoption and implementation of the housing element is essential to effective housing planning. Throughout the housing element process, the City must continue to engage the community, including organizations that represent lower-income and special needs households, by making information regularly available while considering and incorporating comments where appropriate. Please be aware, any revisions to the element must be posted on the local government’s website and to email a link to all individuals and organizations that have previously requested notices relating to the local government’s housing element at least seven days before submitting to HCD.

Several federal, state, and regional funding programs consider housing element compliance as an eligibility or ranking criteria. For example, the CalTrans Senate Bill (SB) 1 Sustainable Communities grant, the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities programs, and HCD’s Permanent Local Housing Allocation consider housing element compliance and/or annual reporting requirements pursuant to Government Code section 65400. With a compliant housing element, the City meets housing element requirements for these and other funding sources.

For your information, some general plan element updates are triggered by housing element adoption. HCD reminds the City to consider timing provisions and welcomes the opportunity to provide assistance. For information, please see the Technical Advisories issued by the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research at:
https://www.opr.ca.gov/planning/general-plan/guidelines.html.

HCD appreciates your hard work and dedication provided in preparation of the City’s housing element and looks forward to receiving the City’s adopted housing element. If you have any questions or need additional technical assistance, please contact me at [email protected].

Sincerely,

Melinda Coy
Proactive Housing Accountability Chief

HCD Review Comments

How HCD Comments Have Been
Addressed in the Draft Revised
Adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element
A: Housing Needs, Resources, and Constraints

1. Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) Responses Fair Housing Enforcement and Outreach:

1. While the element was revised to incorporate
information on fair housing complaints, it did not
address the ability to provide enforcement and
outreach capacity which can consist of actions such as
ability to investigate complaints, obtain remedies, or
the ability to engage in fair housing testing.

2. The analysis must also describe compliance with
existing fair housing laws and regulations and include
information on fair housing outreach capacity.

3. Furthermore, the element should address outreach
related to affirmatively further fair housing (AFFH).

Additional text has been added to address
Fair Housing Enforcement and Outreach:

1. The City of Garden Grove’s Office of
Economic Development is in cont ract with
the Fair Housing Foundation to provide a
range of services that affirmatively furthers
fair housing in Garden Grove. The services
include landlord and tenant counseling,
discrimination services, and education and
outreach. Fair Housing Foundation is
projected to assist approximately 210
unduplicated Garden Grove residents with
fair housing related services annually. (See
page 12-72)

2. The City of Garden Grove was party to
the regional Orange County Analysis of
Impediments to Fair Housing Choice
(OCAI). The OCAI was required as part of
the City’s 5-Year Consolidated Plan and lays
out the specific steps that need to occur to
ensure jurisdictions are furthering fair
housing practices and laws. The OCAI was
approved by HUD and is adopted as part of
the City’s 2020 -2025 Consolidated Plan.
(See page 12-71)

3. Additional text related to AFFH Outreach
requirements, including Garden Grove
staff’s engagement activities, community
centers visited, survey and flyers passed
out in multiple languages, staff speaking to
residents in multiple languages, etc. were
added. (See page 12-74)
Regional Analysis:

1. While the element generally describes local patterns and trends, it must also analyze Garden Grove relative
to the rest of the region regarding Racially and
Racially/Ethnically Concentrated Areas of Poverty
(R/ECAP) and Affluence, disparities in access to
opportunity, and disproportionate housing needs and
displacement risks.

1. Additional discussion on surrounding
cities regarding Racially and
Racially/Ethnically Concentrated Areas of
Poverty (R/ECAP) and Affluence, disparities
in access to opportunity, and
disproportionate housing needs and
displacement risks were added. Also
revised the maps to include the data outside
of Garden Grove for TCAC Opportuni ty
Areas (Figure H-13). Indicated there are no
R/ECAP in Garden Grove but are in
surroundings cities (page 12-80).

Local Data and Knowledge, and Other Relevant
Factors:

1. The element must include local data, knowledge, and
other relevant factors to dis cuss and analyze any
unique attributes about the City related to fair housing issues.

1. Reference Orange County Analysis of
Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (OCAI)
document (12-99).

2. National and Regional fair housing trends
were added, specifically U.S. and Orange
County trends (page 12-73).

2. The element should complement federal, state, and
regional data with local data and knowledge where
appropriate to capture emerging trends and issues,
including utili zing knowledge from local and regional
advocates and service providers.

3. Also, the element must include other relevant factors that contribute to fair housing issues in the jurisdiction.

This can include, but is not limited to, changes and
barriers in zoning and land use rules, information about redlining/greenlining, restrictive covenants and other
discriminatory practices, presence and history of place- based investment, and mobility option patterns.

3. Included information regarding historical
patterns of segregation in Orange County
and Garden Grove (Mendez vs. Westminster
and Korean Sammy Lee ). Identified one
Governmental Action (OC) to remove―for
free―discriminatory language in property
documents. Language was added to require
a new statute to streamline the removal of
racial language from restrictive covenants
and to work with the City Clerk to facilitate
access the property records and direct the
County to do so (add to AFFH program) (see
page 12-75 to 12-76).

Access to Opportunity

1. The element provides information on the access to
opportunity through the TCAC opportunity maps but
must also provide a complete local and regional
analysis of patterns and trends for all components.

2. A comprehensive analysis should include the local
and regional disparities of the educational,
environmental, and economic scores through local,
federal, and/or state data.

3. It should also analyze persons with disabilities as
well as access to transit.

4. Please refer to page 35 of the AFFH guidebook (link:
https://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-
development/affh/index.shtml#guidance) for specific
factors that should be considered when analyzing
access to opportunities as it pertains to educational,
employment, environmental, transportation, and any
factors that are unique to Garden Grove.

1. Revised the TCAC map to include
resource data outside of Garden Grove for
TCAC Opportunity Areas (Figure H-13).

1. Created separate TCAC Opportunity Area
Maps for Education Score, Economic Score,
and Environmental Score (Figure H-10 to H-
12) with align text discussions on pages 12-
81 to 12-87.

2. Added HUD AFFH data that include
indices for environmental health, low
poverty, school proficiency, job proximity,
labor market, transit, and low
transportation cost (see pages 12-81 to 12-
87) and identified in Table 12 -35 on page
12-82) .

3. Exhibit H -5 shows the population of
persons with a disability by census tract.

The new indices identified above describe
transit access.

4. Expanded analysis was included to show
opportunity access by indices related to
environmental, low poverty, school
proficiency, job proximity, labor market,
transit , and low transportation cost on how
each are related to Garden Grove
population, poverty, and race/ethnicity (see
Table 12 -35 on page 12 -82).

Disproportionate Housing Needs:

1. The element is revised to include some information
about cost burden, substandard housing, and
overcrowding in the locality but the analysis is
incomplete. A full analysis should identify local patterns and trends throughout the community.

2. In addition, the element must include regional
information and analysis for these categories.

3. The element must also address homelessness and
displacement risk. Currently, the draft includes maps of sensitive communities and describes various types of
displacement risk, but does not describe or

1. Specific geographic neighborhoods (local
patterns) were identified that had the
highest percentage of households with
overcrowding, overpay ment (renter and
owner) showing the highest percentages of
Hispanic and Asian populations, and how
these areas tend to be geographically
relational. Asian concentration areas with
housing problems border Westminster and
southern portions of the City, and Hispanic
concentration areas with housing problems
border Santa Ana or the eastern areas of
the City (trends)(see pages 12 -87 to 12 -

98). Additionally, a set of summary issues
(findings) were added to summarize key
disproportionate housing needs (page 12 -
92) and displacement risk (page 12-95).

2. Under the Disproportionate Need section
under AFFH (Constraints Chapter),
additional text was added to describe the
regional context and analysis comparing
households with four severe housing
problems. Garden Gro ve is compared to
Stanton, Anaheim, Seal Beach, Cypress,
Sana Ana, Orange, and Los Alamitos (page
12-87).

3. Homeless statistics were added, including
a list of homeless programs, facilities, and
resources. This discussion also identifies the
preparation of the Comprehensive Strategic
Plan to Address Homelessness (pages 12 -
91 to 12 -92). Displacement was further
expanded to include the Urban
Displacement Project analysis under the
HCD AFFH dataset. It identified that most
neighborhoods, except on the west side, are
vulnerable to displacement. A summary of
Displacement Findings was added to this
section (page 12-95).

Contributing Factors:

1. The element provides a general list of contributing
factors (p. 83); however, the contributing factors
identified are generally not responsive to the analysis presented in the AFFH analysis.

2. The City’s composition and location in the region
presents unique fair housing challenges largely not
captured by the contributing factors. As a result, the
City should revise the AFFH section as noted above, re- evaluate contributing factors, and priori tize the
contributing factors.

3. As a reminder, the contributing factors should be
foundational pieces for the AFFH programs.

1. Contributing factors were added and
responsive to the AFFH analysis (page 12 -
97 and page 12-168).

2. and 3. Contributing fa ctors were
reevaluated. Contributing factors and
housing issues identified by AFFH are
prioritized in Housing Plan (under AFFH
program) (page 12-168).

Site Inventory and AFFH:

1. The element was revised to provide some general
analysis and generally states that the sites improve fair housing and equal opportunities conditions in Garden
Grove (pp. 12 -83). However, this is not sufficient to
demonstrate whether sites identified to meet the
regional housing needs allocation (RHNA) are
distributed throughout the community in a manner that
AFFH. A full analysis should address the income
categories of identified sites with respect to location, the number of sites and units by all income groups and
how that effects the existing patterns for all
components of t he assessment of fair housing (e.g.,
segregation and integration, access to opportunity).

1. and 2. A complete analysis was added to
address the income categories of identified
sites with respect to location, the number of
sites and units by all income groups, and
how that effects the existing patterns for all
components of the assessment of fair
housing (e.g., segregation and integration,
access to opportunity). Discussion was
added about how the sites inventory
exacerbates or improves existing conditions
(pages 12 -136 to 12 -139).

3. and 4. Based on the analysis, Program 18
(pages 12 -168 to 12 -172) includes

2. In addition, as noted in the element sites are located in the moderate resourced areas followed by low
resourced areas. The element should address this and
discuss whether the distribution of sites improves or
exacerbates conditions.

3. If sites exacerbate conditions, the element should
identify further program actions that will be taken to
overcome patterns of segregation and promote
inclusive communities, includ ing actions beyond the
RHNA.

4. Depending on the results of a complete analysis, the element should add programs as appropriate.
meaningful actions to address any
exacerbation of conditions.

Goals, Priorities, Metrics, and Milestones

1. The element must be revised to add or modify goals
and actions based on the outcomes of a complete
analysis. Currently the element relies solely on
programs which are not transformative, meaningful, or
specific. Many of these actions simply involve comi ng
into compliance with state law.

2. Goals and actions must specifically respond to the
analysis and the identified and prioritized contributing factors to fair housing issues and must be significant
and meaningful enough to overcome identified patterns
and trends.

3. Actions must have specific commitment, metrics,
and milestones as appropriate and must address
housing mobility enhancement, new housing choices
and affordability in high opportunity areas, place-based strategies for community preservation and
revitalization and displacement protection. For
example, as identified in third party comments, the
AFFH analysis shows patterns of racial and economic
segregation but does not include programs to adequate
address these patterns nor address potential
displacement risk.

1. and 2. AFFH goals and policies were
revised to be more transformative,
meaningful, and specific. See Program 18
on pages 12-168 to 12-172.

2. and 3. New actions were added to
address analysis identified in the AFFH
section. See Progr am 18 on pages 12 -168
to 12-172.

2. Sites Inventory
Electronic Sites Inventory:

Pursuant to Government Code section 65583.3,
subdivision (b), upon adoption of the housing element,
the City must submit an electronic version of the sites inventory with its adopted housing element to
[email protected]. HCD has not received a
copy of the electronic inventory. Please note, the City must utilize standards, forms, and definitions adopted
by HCD when preparing the sites inventory. Please see
HCD’s hous ing element webpage at
https://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-
development/housing-element/index.shtml#element
for a copy of the form and instructions. The City can
reach out to HCD at [email protected] for
technical assistance.

The electronic sites inventory excel file was
sent to HCD on February 10, 2022. A
revised sites inventory table will be sent to
HCD following adoption of the Draft Revised
Adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element.

Realistic Capacity

1. The element now lists recent developments to
support capacity assumptions and trends related to
residential development in mixed -use zone; however,
Additional analysis was added to recognize
the likelihood of 100 percent nonresidential
uses reflecting developer interest and
regional trends. Opportunities exist for

the analysis of realistic capacity should account for the likelihood of 100 percent nonresidential uses.
residential development in other parts of
the City, but the sites inventory focuses in
areas where development of residential
uses is most likely given the development
standards allowing very high densities,
developer interest in residential
developments, site size and location (along
major corridors), and the immediate area’s
development track record. The new section
includes a list of development projects near
the identified sites that allow similar uses
and shows that the development demand in
these areas is for residential development
(also includes Harbor Boulevard within
Santa Ana). As such, the likelihood that the
identified units will be developed as noted
in the inventory in zones that allow
nonresidential uses is very high. See pages
12-110 to 12 -113, specifically update of
Table 12-45, Table 12-46, and Table 12-47.

Suitability of Nonvacant Sites

1. Specific analysis and actions are necessary if the
housing element relies upon nonvacant sites to
accommodate more than 50 percent of the RHNA for
lower-income households. The housing element must
demonstrate existing uses are not an impediment to
additional residential development and will likely
discontinue in the planning period (Gov. Code, §
65583.2, subd. (g)(2).)

2. While the element contains some information
relating to underutilization, age of structure, and
building-to-land value ratio, it does not provide
analysis demonstrating the uses are likely to
discontinue in the planning period. For example, only a few sites include information related to existing leases and owner interest, but no information was provided
related to whether the uses on o ther sites would
impede residential development. For example, the
element could describe if uses are operating or
marginalized, information on interest in redevelopment
and relate redevelopment and market trends to the
identified sites. In particular, the element.

3. In addition, the adopted resolution did not include
necessary findings based on substantial evidence that
the uses will likely discontinue in the planning period.

Please see HCD’s prior review for additional
information.

1. The City has ident ified 16 recently
constructed mixed -use and affordable
housing projects in neighboring cities to
identify the properties’ existing uses and
building age prior to the construction of the
new housing project (see Table 12-46). This
table helps identify exist ing land use and
building age trends.

2. To demonstrate the suitability of non -
vacant sites, a set of criteria was identified
using region trends identified in Table 12 -
46, as well as other relevant property
conditions, market trends, and information.

The criteria identified includes property
owner interest, vacant/ minimal property
improvements, City ownership, existing use
(based on trends), building/land value ratio,
year building built (based on trends),
building intensity (FAR), lease expiration,
building conditions, and tenant vacancy.

Tables 12 -48 (pages 12 -122 to 12 -131),
which list sites in the lower income
categories, indicate which criteria they meet
to show suitability of the site. The criteria
are identified on pages 12-120 to 12-121

3. The City plans to readopt the Housing
Element and will include the necessary
findings language on substantial evidence
that the uses will likely discontinue in the
planning period.

Senate Bill 9 (Statutes of 2021) Projections:

The element is now projecting 1,459 units that will be
developed based on the passage of SB 9 (Statutes of
2021) to accommodate a portion of its above moderate

HCD Review Comments

income RHNA. To utilize projections based on SB 9
legislation, the element must;
1) include a site-specific inventory of sites where SB 9 projections are being applied;
2) include a nonvacant sites analysis demonstrating the potential for redevelopment and that the existing use
will not constitute as an impediment for additional
residential use and;
3) include programs and po licies that establish zoning and development standards early in the planning
period and implement incentives to encourage and
facilitate development. The element should also
support this analysis with local information such as
local developer or owner inte rest to utilize zoning and incentives established through SB 9.

3. Created a program (Program 9 on pages
12-157 to 12-158) to prepare an ordinance
and establish incentives to encourage the
creation of duplexes or subdivision of
existing lots. The City has already adopted
an SB9 ordinance. Objective standards have
been adopted by the City Council.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU):

The ADU numbers have been reassessed in this
element and the City acknowledges that the ADU
counts in their annual progress reports (APRs) are
undercounted and includes Program 9 to update the
City’s APR data.

1. However, it is still unclear from both the element and the documentation provided with the review how many
units have been permitted since 2018. The element
states that an average of 242 units have been
permitted per year and therefore 2,009 units are likely to be built in the planning period. How ever, this
calculation seems to be inaccurate as five years of data was provided resulting in an average of 193 per year
which equate to an eight-year projection of 1,544 units.

Accompanying documentation shows an average of 237
which would equate to an ei ght-year projection of
1,896. The element must reconcile the factors used to
project the number of ADU’s expected to be built in the planning period and adjust the projection accordingly.

1. The ADU section was revised to include
final building permit data between 2019 and
2021 (see pages 12 -109 to 12 -110). The
City conducted extensive and
comprehensive review of building permit
reports and information to confirm the ADU
permitting numbers and to ensure
accuracy. An eight -year planning period
was used to project out the potential
number of ADUs that could be counted
against the RHNA.

Number 2019 to 2021:
2019 = 218
2020 = 268
2021 = 283
Average: 769/3 = 256 (256 x 8 = 2,048)
Zoning for a Variety of Housing Types:

Transitional and Supportive Housing:

1. While the element was revised to include additional
information related to how transitional housing is
allowed, it does not provide information related to
supportive housing.

2. In addition, the information provided on pages 12 -
59 seems to distinguish between number of occupants
living together. This is inconsistent with state law which states “Transitional housing and supportive housing
shall be considered a residential use of property and
shall be subject only to those restrictions that apply to other residential dwellings of the same type in the same zone.” (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(3), emphasis
added.) This means if transitional or supportive housing is located in a single-family home, for instance, the city cannot require a use permit for the transitional or
supportive housing unless it also generally requires a
use permit for all other single-family homes in the same zone. This rule applies regardless of the number of
occupants. The City cannot, for instance, require a use

1., 2., and 3. Added language to Program
17 (Zoning Code Update) on pages 12 -163
to 12-168 to amend the Zoning Code so that
transitional and supportive housing,
including residential group home living,
shall be considered a residential use of
property and shall be subject only to those
restrictions that apply to other residential
dwellings of the same type in the same
zone, and remove any restrictions on the
number of occupants. The code
amendments implementing this program
have been adopted by the City Council.

Adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element
permit for transitional and supportive housing with six or more occupants unless it requires such a use permit
for single-family homes in the same zone generally.

3. The element must include a program to update the
zoning ordinance consistent with these standards.

3. Governmental Constraints
Processing and Permitting Procedures

1. While the element indicates that no multi -family
projects have been denied based on the approval
finding and that the City must follow state law, it does not analyze the permit or the pr ocess as a potential
constraint. A full analysis should assess the process
impact on approval certainty, supply, affordability,
timing, and other relevant factors and in particular
analyze the subjective design standards noted in HCD’s
prior review.

1. T he City Council has adopted targeted
amendments to the Zoning Code to
eliminate subjective development and
design standards. This action removed
uncertainties in the development review
process. See Program 17 (Zoning Code
Update) on pages 12-163 to 12-168.

Housing for Persons with Disabilities:

1. While the element was revised to identify a
reasonable accommodation procedure through the
housing authority, it did not include the findings for
approval of reasonable accommodation requests.

2. In addition, the element did not address HCD’s
previous finding to analyze the conditional use process requirement for group homes of seven or more. Zoning
should simply implement a barrier -free definition of
family instead of subjecting, potentially pe rsons with disabilities, to special regulations such as the number of persons, population types and licenses.

3. The element should specifically analyze these
constraints for impacts on housing supply and choices
and approval certainty and objectivity for housing for persons with disabilities and include programs as
appropriate.

1. The City has a reasonable
accommodation procedure to facilitate
adaptation of homes for people with
disabilities and will codify updated
procedures for reviewing and granting
Reasonable Accommodation requests (as
outlined in Program 23 on page 12 -177).

City adopted a resolution 10 years ago.

2. and 3. The City Council has adopted
targeted amendments to the Zoning Code
that state that transitional and supportive
housing, inclu ding residential group home
living, are considered a residential use of
property subject only to those restrictions
that apply to other residential dwellings of
the same type in the same zone. The
amendments remove restrictions on the
number of occupants and provide for group
homes for 7+ clients to be treated
objectively. See Program 17 (Zoning Code
Update) on pages 12-163 to 12-168.

B. Housing Programs

1. As noted in Finding A1, the element does not include a complete site analysis, therefore, the adequacy of
sites and zoning were not established. Based on the
results of a complete sites inventory and analysis, the City may need to add or revise programs to address a
shortfall of sites or zoning available to encourage a
variety of housing types. In addition, the element
should be revised as follows:

The Land Use Element and Zoning Code
were amended in November of 2021 to
increase capacity to meet the RHNA.

Sites Inventory (Program)

1. As stated in our prior review, if rezoning is not
completed by October 15, 2021, the element must
include a program(s) to identify sites with appropriate zoning to accommodate the regional housing need

and (i) as needed.
to meet RHNA. See Program 17 (Zoning
Code Update on pages 12-163 to 12-168).

Nonvacant Sites Reliance to Accommodate RHNA
(Program)

1. HCD’s prior review found that the element relies
upon nonvacant sites to ac commodate the regional
housing need for lower-income households, so it should
include a program(s) to promote residential
development affordable to lower -income housing on
these sites.

The program could commit to p rovide financial
assistance, regulatory co ncessions such as a
streamlined permit processing, or incentives including
the adoption of an affordable housing overlay pursuant
to Program 22 to encourage and facilitate new, or more
intense, residential development on the sites.

2. In addition, the element could amend Program 12 to
monitor development on sites in the mixed-use zone as
it relates to the provision of housing affordable to
lower-income households and commit provision of
additional actions as necessary to facilitate
development.

1. Program 1 2 (pages 12 -159 to 12 -160)
includes the following text: “Technical
Support. Facilitate the development of
residential units in mixed -use areas by
providing technical support to facilitate lot
consolidation, financial assistance (where
feasible), and streamlined permit
processing. The City will establish specific
and objective criteria for mixed -use site
plan reviews and will target development
densities as estimated in the Housing
Element.” Program 22 considers
establishing an Affordable Housing Overlay,
see page 12-176.

2. Text was added “Relating to the Provision
of Housing Affordable to Lower -Income
Households” to Annual Monitor
Development. Additionally, the text was
revised: “the City will commit to developing
additional actions as necessary, includin g,
but not limited to incentives, waivers,
concessions, expedited processing, and
other regulatory approaches (including
examination of development standards) to
ensure the City satisfies its identified
housing need (RHNA).” See pages 12 -159
to 12-160.

Program 4 (Affordable Housing Construction):

HCD’s prior review found the element must describe
and analyze environmental constraints that may
impede the development of housing within the planning
period on these sites, specifically the provision of
housing affordable to lower -income housing. The City
added more information on environmental constraints
related to industrial contamination in starting on pages 12-122 and program 4 has been revised to include City
assistance, both technical and funding, where
available, to sites that have been determined to be
contaminated based on environmental site
assessments.

1. However, the City does not specify when these
assessments will be complete. The element should add
a program to ensure environmental constraints are
addressed and include a timeline for conducting such
assessments within a year of housing element
adoption.

Text was added to identify when technical
studies will be conducted to identify
contamination issues with properties.

Studies are the responsib ilities of an
applicant and are to be conducted prior to
or during the entitlement process. See
Program 4 on page 12-154.

Additionally, under the 12.4 Housing
Resources chapter, analysis was added to
understand how industrial properties or
contaminated si tes are constructed with
new housing. The analysis was based on
conversations with the development
community and other Garden Grove

developing industrial properties or
contaminated sites. Examples of various
projects were introduced to show how
remediation approaches allow for
residential development and how
remediation costs are then built into the
housing developer’s acquisition costs. The

contaminated sites are not an impediment
to building new housing on those sites.

Extremely Low- Very Low-, Low- and Moderate-
Income Households (Program)

1. While the element includes programs to assist in the development of very low-, low-, and moderate-income
households, it must also include a program(s) to assist in the development of housing affordable extremely
low-income (ELI) households. Programs mus t be
revised or added to the element to assist in the
development of housing for ELI households. For
example, Program 13 in the element could describe
what the City will do to encourage developers to include ELI units with wraparound services.

2. In addit ion, the element states that the City is
working with the owners of the Tamerlane Drive
property (pp.12-63) to preserve at-risk units. Program 7 could be updated to reflect these efforts.

Program 13 has been updated to identify
existing programs that will continue.

1. Garden Grove has a Permanent
Supportive Housing Program in place to
increase and preserve the supply of
supportive housing for extremely low -
income households. This program produces
affordable housing through the acquisition
and rehabilitation of existing housing units,
as well as the construction of new units. In
the past, the City has partnered with
nonprofit organizations and housing
developers to accomplish this goal.

Currently, the City is developing the Stuart
Drive Permanent Supportive Housing
Project, which is anticipated to open by July
1, 2022.

The City implemented the Homeless
Emergency Assistance and Rental
Transition (HEART) Program and the
Mainstream and Emergency Housing
Voucher Programs, which provide tenant -
based rental assist ance and supportive
services to extremely low -income
individuals. These programs provide rental
assistance and wrap around supportive
services for Garden Grove households
experiencing homelessness. This program
effectively turns market rate rental units
into affordable units for extremely low -
income households, and the supportive
services work to help the household
maintain that housing once the assistance
lapses.

2. Program 7 (see page 12 -156) was
updated to reflect City efforts to preserve
at-risk units.

Governmental Constraints (Program)

1. As noted in Finding A2, the element requires a
complete analysis of potential governmental
constraints. Depending upon the results of that
analysis, the City may need to revise or add programs
and address and remove o r mitigate any identified
constraints.

Program 17 (Zoning Code Update) was
updated to reflect 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 appl icable State
housing laws. These amendments have
been adopted. This includes focused zoning
text amendments to Chapters 9.04
(General Provisions), 9.08 (Single -Family
Residential Development Standards), 9.12
(Multifamily Residential 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,

also added a new Chapter in Title 9 of the
Municipal Code containing and consolidating
special regulations pertaining specifically to
housing development projects. See
Program 17 (Zoning Code Update) on pages
12-163 to 12-168.

Affirmatively Further Fair Housing Opportunities
(Program)

1. As noted in Finding A1, the element requires a
complete analysis of AFFH. Depending upon the results
of that analysis, the City may need to revise or add
programs to AFFH.

Program 18 (Affirmative Furthering Fair
Housing on pages 12 -169 to 12 -171) has
been expanded and reorganized as a table.

Issues and contributing factors have been
added. Meaningful actions have been
revised and added to address housing
issues. A timeframe has added to each
meaningful action. Each action is specific.

With the latest AFFH revisions, additional
metrics language was added to Action 3.

Action 8 was further expanded by adding
consultation with Fair Housing Council to
assist in providing multi-lingual tenant legal
counseling. Revisions to Action 10 and
Action 11 were added to clearly identify
reasonable metrics.

WHEREAS, the City Council hereby makes the following findings regarding Amendment No. A-031-2021:

A. The proposed zoning text and map amendments are internally consistent with the goals, policies, and elements of the General Plan. Pursuant to General Plan Amendment No. GPA-003-2021, the City Council has adopted updates to the Housing Element and the Land Use Element to comply with the state law’s 6 th Cycle
(2021-2029) of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) that requires the

Garden Grove City Council
Ordinance No. 2925

City to plan for 19,168 addi tional residential dwelling units for all incomes levels during the planning period. Zoning Amendment No. A-031-2021 implements the Housing Element and Land Use Element Updates by increasing the maximum permitted residential densities within the City’s Mixed Use Zones to be consistent with the mixed-use land use densities identified in the updated Land Use Element; creating a Mixed-Use Overlay Zone for properties located in the International West Mixed Use, the Industrial/Residential Mixed Use 1, and the Residential/Commercial Mixed Use 2 General Plan land use designations to promote housing production on selected parcels identified in the updated Housing Element Sites Inventory; and rezoning selected parcels identified in the updated Housin g Element Sites Inventory to permit the development of multiple-family residential uses.

B. The proposed text and map amendm ents will promote the public interest, health, safety, and welfare of the surrounding community. Zoning Amendment No.

A-031-2021 will implement the goals and policies of the Housing Element and Land Use Element Updates to promote housing production for all income levels in conformance with state law’s 6
th Cycle (2021-2029) of the Regional Housing Needs
Assessment (RHNA) that requires the City to plan for 19,168 residential dwelling units during the 2021-2029 planning period.

C. The parcels subject to the proposed Zoning Map amendments are physically suitable for the requested la nd use designations, compatible with surrounding land uses, and consistent with the General Plan. The parcels proposed to be rezoned and the parcels to which the new Mixed Use Overlay Zone is proposed to be applied were evaluated in conjunction with the FGPUZA project and determined to be suitable for the development of housing and identified in the Housing Element Sites Inventory. In addition, the proposed zoning designation of each subject parcel is consistent with the land use designation of each parcel under the Land Use Element.

D. The change of zoning classification of the subject parcels identified in the proposed amendments to the Zoning Map is consistent with the City’s General Plan and will ensure a degree of compatibility with surrounding properties and uses. The zone change amendments will rezone properties to be internally consistent with the goals and policies of the Land Use Element Update for promoting housing production for all income levels in conformance with State law and the 6 th Cycle (2021-2029)
Regional Housing Needs Assessment and will apply the new Mixed-Use Overly Zone to specific properties located in th e International West Mixed Use, the Industrial/Residential Mixed Use 1, and the Residential/Commercial Mixed Use 2 land use designations to promote housing production on selected parcels identified in the updated Housing Element Sites Inventory. The subject rezoned parcels will have a similar zoning designation as surrounding parcels, which will ensure that the parcels are developed to a similar density as the su rrounding parcels with the same zoning designation.

CEQA Consistency Analysis Memo
General Plan Amendment No. GPA-002-2023 and Amendment No. A-037-2023

1.0 Background
On November 19, 2021, the City of Garden Grove (“City”) updated its General Plan by adopting amendments to the Housing Element, Safety Element , and Land Use Element; adopted a new Environmental Justice Element; adopted zoning text and map changes to address the changes to the Housing Element and Land Use Element; and certified the Garden Grove General Plan Update and Focused Zoning Amendments Environmental Impact Report 1 (”GPEIR”).

The Housing Element, a State-required chapter of the City’s General Plan, identifies programs and policies to meet the housing needs of existing and future residents. This plan is required by State of California (“State”) housing law and must be updated every eight years. Furthermore, the Housing Element must be certified by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”).

The Regional Housing Needs Assessment (“RHNA”) is mandated by State housing law as part of the periodic process of updating local Housing Elements. The RHNA quantifies the housing need for all household income levels within each jurisdiction. The City is currently in the 2021-2029 planning period, also known as the sixth cycle RHNA. HCD determines the RHNA for each region of California. The RHNA for the region overseen by t he Southern California Association of Governments (“SCAG”) is 1.3 million units. SCAG assigned Garden Grove a RHNA allocation of 19,168 housing units for the 2021-2029.

On July 14, 2021, the City submitted its initial Draft Housing Element to HCD for review (during the GPEIR process). City received comments from HCD on September 8, 2021. The version of the Housing Element that was evaluated in the GPEIR was the version that had been submitted to HCD . In response to HCD’s comments, City staff revised the Housing Element and conducted public hearings for adoption. The revised Draft 2021-2029 Housing Element adopted at the November 9, 2021 City Council meeting incorporated those responses to HCD comments. The City then resubmitted the Housing Element to HCD on November 12, 2021 to provide HCD with the adopted version for certification, which the City believed fully responded to the initial comments. However, HCD issued findings that the revised Housing Element did not fully comply with housing law.

Between January and July 2023, the City engaged in conversations with HCD staff to identify the further revisions required to achieve compliance, including reallocation of RHNA income categories among housing sites and the addition of one new site adjacent to previously identified sites. Following this review period and modifications made by the City in response , the HCD issued a formal substantial compliance letter on August 14, 2023, stating that HCD had found the City's Housing Element to "substantially comply with State Housing Element Law" and that it "meets statutory requirements".

The version of the Housing Element evaluated in the GPEIR identified a credit of 960 units (pipeline and proposed) and sites providing a capacity for 18,291 units, for a total of 19,251 units (above the RHNA of 19,168). The current version of the Housing Element approved by HCD identifies a capacity for 19,239 units. Notably, the growth projected in the General Plan, and evaluated in the GPEIR, was 20,242 new housing units. Thus, both the original Housing Element that the City adopted and the revised version certified by HCD provide housing capacity within the build-out assumption analyzed in the GPEIR.

2.0 Housing Element Modifications
Key changes to the Housing Element that have made to achieve certification include:

 Updated analysis of the unhoused population using 2022 point- in-count data.  Identified Zoning Code amendments completed in 2022, including permit streamlining, density bonus, affordable housing regulatory agreements, transitional and supportive housing and single- room occupancy revisions, objective design standards for multi-family housing units, increased R- 3 district maximum density requirements, and provisions for low-barrier navigation centers.  Revised Affirmative Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) discussion and analysis, including new national and regional trends, community outreach consistency with AFFH requirements, historic patterns of segregation in Orange County, and government actions to address discrimination.  Updated AFFH Tax Credit Allocation Committee/Housing and Community Development (TCAC/HCD) Opportunity Access data and maps, including revision education, environmental justice, transportation, and employment and economic opportunity access.  Expanded discussion under AFFH for housing cost burden and overpayment, overcrowding and substandard housing, homelessness, and displacement risks.  Updated sites inventory capacity assumptions.
 Added a site at 13621 Harbor Boulevard consisting of a land-locked parking lot.  Updated local and regional housing trends.
 Added extensive analysis on developing housing sites on industrial properties designated for housing.
 Identified criteria to demonstrate all lower-income sites are available for redevelopment.  Ensured the housing sites inventory is consistent with AFFH TCAC/HCD Opportunity Access areas.  Added new policies to address AFFH, address housing sites on industrial properties, 2022 Zoning Code Amendment, address homeless housing needs, and address SB9 (duplex) requirements in single-unit zoned properties.
 Identified special needs housing accomplishments between 2014 and 2021.  Adjusted the sites inventory: (1) moving some sites from various income categories, (2) added several new housing sites and 71 new housing units to the sites inventory.

3.0 Required Actions and Approvals

The City proposes General Plan Amendment (GPA-002-2023) to include:
(a) Readoption of the 2021-2029 Housing Element to include revisions directed by HCD to achieve compliance with State law;
(b) Amend the General Plan land use designation of a property located at 13621 Harbor Boulevard (Assessor’s Parcel No. 100-123-01) from Industrial (I) to International West Mixed Use (IW); and (c) Adopt a Zoning Map Amendment (A- 037-2023) to revise the Zoning Map to implement the change in General Plan land use designation at 13621 Harbor Boulevard, and to clarify the sites intended to be included in the International West Mixed Use Overlay and the Industrial/Residential Mixed Use 1 Overlay, pursuant to Ordinance No. 2925.

3 | P a g e

The focus of the General Plan and Zoning Map Amendments is to comply with State law and resolve comments received from HCD on the adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element. These two approvals related to the amendments are hereafter referred to as the “proposed GPA and ZMA”.

4.0 CEQA Requirements
The City Council certified the comprehensive programmatic GPEIR on November 9, 2021, for the General Plan Update and Focused Zoning Amendments. The issue for CEQA purposes is whether the proposed GPA and ZMA are subsequent discretionary actions within the scope of the GPEIR and, if so , whether those amendments would result in any new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts . (Public Resources Code Section 21166; CEQA Guidelines Sections 15168, 15162.)

Specifically, the CEQA Guidelines state as follows:

Section 15168(c)(2) - If the agency finds that pursuant to Section 15162, no subsequent EIR will be required, the agency can approve the activity as being within the scope of the project covered by the Program EIR, and no new environmental document will be required. Whether a later activity is within the scope of a Program EIR is a factual question that the lead agency determines based on substantial evidence in the record. Factors that an agency may consider in making that determination include, but are not limited to, consistency of the later activity with the type of allowable land use, overall planned density and building intensity, geographic area analyzed for environmental impacts, and covered infrastructure, as described in the Program EIR.

CEQA does not mandate any specific procedure that a lead agency must use to determine whether later activities are within the scope of the prior Program EIR or whether any subsequent environmental review is required.

5.0 CEQA Analysis
The GPEIR analyzed the potential programmatic environmental impacts of adding 19,251 potential housing units. This was comprised by 960 pipeline units and housing sites that could accommodate 18,291 new units. The current, revised Housing Element, which HCD indicates meets the requirements of State law, calls for the addition of 19,239 units. This constitutes 12 fewer units than previously analyzed in the GPEIR.

In other words, the current Housing Element is consistent with the types of allowable land uses and the overall density previously analyzed in the GPEIR. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15168(c)(2).) Thus, the current Housing Element is within the scope of the GPEIR. As the number of anticipated units has decreased from the GPEIR, the current Housing Element ’s potential environmental impacts would either be equivalent to, or slightly decreased from, those identified in the GPEIR. A new site was identified at 13621 Harbor Boulevard. This site consists of a land-locked parking lot associated with a use fronting Harbor Boulevard. Adding it to the sites inventory has not increased the overall unit yield since minor adjustments have been made on other sites. The proposed Zoning Map amendments merely implement the proposed updates to the Housing Element. On this basis, the current Housing Element and Zoning Map amendments would not result in any new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of any previously identified significant impacts. No further CEQA analysis is required. (Public Resources Code Section 21166; CEQA Guidelines Section 15168, 15162.)

6.0 Conclusion
The City finds that no further review under CEQA is required pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15168 and 15162 because the proposed General Plan and Zoning Map amendments associated with the revised Housing Element are within the scope of the GPEIR . The revised Housing Element and the associated General Plan and Zoning Map amendments will not result in any new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts.

Based on Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15168 and 15162, the City has determined that no further CEQA analysis is required.

RESOLUTION NO. 6069-23

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF GARDEN GROVE

RECOMMENDING THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPT GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT (GPA-002-2023)TO UPDATE THE ADOPTED 2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT AND TO

AMEND THE GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION OF A PROPERTY LOCATED AT 13621 HARBOR BOULEVA RD (ASSESSOR’S PARCE L NO. 100- 123-01), FROM INDUSTRIAL (I) TO INTERNATIONAL WEST MIXED USE (IW).

BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of Garden Grove, in regular session assembled o n September 21, 2023, does hereby recommend that the City Council adopt General Plan Amendment No. GPA- 002-2023 to update the Adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element and to amend the General Plan Land Use Designation of a property located at 13621 Harbor Boulev ard (Assessor’s Parcel No. 100-123-01) from Industrial (I) to International West Mixed Use (IW), as depicted in Exhibit “A” attached hereto.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED in the matter of General Plan Amendment No. GPA-002-2023, the Planning Commission of the City of Garden Grove does hereby report as follows:

1. The case was initiated by the City of Garden Grove.

2. On November 9, 2021, the Garden Grove City Council adopted Resolution No. 9714-21 (i) adopting a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, (ii) adopting a Statement of Overriding Considerations, and (iii) certifying the Program EIR for the Focused General Plan Update and Zoning Amendments (“FGPUZA”) project, State Clearinghouse No. 2021060714. The FGPUZA project consisted of (i) 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; and (ii) Zoning Amendment No. A-031-2021, consisting of text/map amendments to Title 9 of the Municipal Code and to the Zoning Map to implement the Housing Element and Land Use Element Updates.

3. On November 9, 2021, the Garden Grove City Council adopted Resolution No. 9713-21 approving General Plan Amendment No. GPA- 003-2021, including adoption of the 2021-2029 Housing Element.

4. On December 14, 2021, the Garden Grove City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2925 approving Zoning Amendment No. A-031-2021.

Resolution No. 6069-23 Page 2

5. The City of Garden Grove is proposing (i) to adopt a General Plan Amendment (GPA- 002-2023), which includes updates to the adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element and an amendment to the Land Use Element to change the Land Use Designation of a property located at 13621 Harbor Boulevard (Assessor’s Parcel No. 100 -123-01) from Industrial (I) to International West Mixed Use (IW); and (ii) to adopt a Zoning Map Amendment (A- 037-2023) to revise the Zoning Map to implement the updates to the Housing Element and to clarify the sites intended to be included in the International West Mixed-Use Overlay and the Industrial/Residential Mixed Use 1 Overlay pursuant to Ordinance No. 2925.

The focus of the General Plan and Zoning Map Amendments is to comply with State law provisions and resolve comments received from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) on the adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element, in order to obtain HCD certification of the City’s Housing Element.

6. The Planning Commission recommends the City Council find that, based on substantial evidence in the record, no further review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) is required pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15168 and 15162 because the proposed General Plan and zoning amendments associated with the revisions to the Housing Element fall within the scope of impacts 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”), and the General Plan and zoning amendments will not result in any new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts.

7. The Planning Commission reviewed the draft updates to the Housing Element, and the proposed change to the General Plan Land Use Diagram (Exhibit LU-3 – also referred to as “land use map” in the Municipal Code) submitted by City Staff at the September 21, 2023 meeting.

8. In accordance with Government Code Section 65583.2(g)(2), the Planning Commission recommends the City Council find that, based on substantial evidence in the record, including, but not limited to, application of the suitability criteria contained in the “Criteria for Selecting Sites t o Meet the Lower-Income RHNA”, under Section 12.4 (Housing Resources) of the Draft Revised Adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element (June 2023), the existing uses on the nonvacant sites identified in the Sites Inventory to accommodate the lower-income RHNA are likely to be discontinued during the planning period, and therefore, do not constitute an impediment to additional residential development during the period covered by the 2021-2029 Housing Element.

Resolution No. 6069-23 Page 3

9. In compliance with AB 215 requirements for the 7-day posting period, on June 12, 2023, the City of Garden Grove posted the Draft Revised Adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element (June 2023) on its website
(https://ggcity.org/housing-element) and emailed a link of said document to all individuals and organizations that previously requested notices relating to Garden Grove's Housing Element.

10. Pursuant to legal notice, a public hearing was held on September 21, 2023 , and all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard.

11. Report submitted by City staff was reviewed.

12. The Planning Commission gave due and careful consideration to the matter during its meeting of September 21, 2023.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, FOUND AND DETERMINED that the facts and reasons supporting the conclusion of the Planning Commission are as follows:

FACTS:

The Housing Element, a State-required chapter of the City’s General Plan, identifies programs and policies to further the goal of meeting the housing needs of existing and future residents for the production of safe, decent, and affordable housing for all persons in the community. This plan is required by State Housing Law and must be updated every eight years. Furthermore, the Housing Element must be certified by HCD.

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. The City is currently in the 2021-2029 planning period, also known as the 6 th cycle RHNA. The California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) determines the RHNA for each region of California. The RHNA for the Southern California region is 1.3 million housing units. The Southern California Association of G overnments (“SCAG”) established a methodology that quantified the RHNA for each jurisdiction. Garden Grove’s RHNA allocation for the 2021-2029 planning period was determined to be 19,168 housing units.

The State of California required the City of Garden Grove to plan for 19,168 future homes to accommodate population, employment, and household growth in the region. State Housing Law also requires cities to specify exact locations where new housing can feasibly be added – this is called Sites Inventory.

On November 9, 2021, the Garden Grove City Council adopted the 2021- 2029 Housing Element, which is intended to satisfy the City’s RHNA obligation and comply

Resolution No. 6069-23 Page 4

with State law, and submitted it to HCD. HCD provided formal comments on the adopted Housing Element on February 10, 2022. In response to HCD’s comments, the City prepared and submitted a draft revised Housing Element and Sites Inventory to HCD in June 2023.

Significant revisions to the November 2021 adopted Housing Element included in the June 2023 draft include the following:

 Updated analysis of the unhoused population using 2022 point-in-count data.

These revisions were made to resolve comments received from HCD in its formal response letter dated February 10, 2022, as well as additional informal comments received in January 2023. On August 14, 2023, HCD provided a letter of substantial compliance to the City, in which it deemed the June 2023 version of the Draft Revised Adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element, inclusive of the redlined changes and updates, to “substantially comply with State Housing Element Law” and stated that the Housing Element “meets statutory requirements.”

The proposed General Plan Amendment will revise and update the Adopted Housing Element consistent with the changes reflected in the June 2023 draft approved by HCD and to make additional non-substantive typographical corrections. The proposed General Plan Amendment also includes an amendment to the General Plan Land Use Designation of the property located at 13621 Harbor Boulevard (Assessor’s Parcel No. 100-123-01) from Industrial (I) to International West Mixed Use (IW), consistent with its addition to the Housing Element Sites Inventory.

Zoning Map amendments to implement the proposed Housing Element updates are also proposed.

The focus of the General Plan and Zoning Map Amendments is to comply with State law provisions and resolve comments received from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) on the adopted 2021 -2029 Housing Element, in order to obtain HCD certification of the City’s Housing Element.

FINDINGS AND REASONS:

1. The General Plan Amendment is internally consistent with the goals, policies, and elements of the General Plan.

The proposed General Plan Amendment includes updates to the Adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element (Adopted in November 2021). The focus of the General Plan and Zoning Map Amendments is to comply with State law provisions and resolve comments received from the California Department of

Resolution No. 6069-23 Page 6

Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) on the adopted 20 21-2029 Housing Element, in order to obtain HCD certification of the City’s Housing Element. In conjunction with the updates to the Housing Element, and to ensure internal consistency between the General Plan Elements, the proposal also includes a concurrent update to the Land Use Element and Land Use Diagram (Exhibit LU- 3 also referred to as “land use map” in the Municipal Code), to amend the General Plan Land Use Designation of the property located at 13621 Harbor Boulevard (Assessor’s Parcel No. 100-123-01), from Industrial (I) to International West Mixed Use (IW), in order to facilitate the property’s inclusion into the Housing Element Sites Inventory . All other properties being added to the Sites Inventory already have an underlying General Plan Land Use Designation that allows residential development.

2. The General Plan Amendment will promote the public interest, health, safety, and welfare of the surrounding community.

The updates to the Adopted 2021- 20219 Housing Element and the update to the Land Use Diagram (Exhibit LU-3 also referred to as “land use map” in the Municipal Code) of the Land Use Element will promote housing production for all income levels in conformance with the State’s 6 th Cycle (2021-2029) of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) that requires the City to plan for 19,168 residential dwelling units during the 2021-2029 planning period. These updates will facilitate housing production to meet the housing needs of existing and future residents for the production of safe, decent, and affordable housing for all persons in the community. The focus of the General Plan and Zoning Map Amendments is to comply with State law provisions and resolve comments received from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) on the adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element, in order to obtain HCD certification of the City’s Housing Element.

3. The parcels covered by the proposed amendment to the General Plan Land Use Map are physically suitable for the requested land use designation(s), compatible with the surrounding land uses, and consistent with the General Plan.

In conjunction with the updates to the Housing Element, and to ensure internal consistency between the General Plan Elements, the proposal also includes a concurrent update to the Land Use Element and Land Use Diagram (Exhibit LU-3 also referred to as “land use map” in the Municipal Code), to amend the General Plan Land Use Designation of the property located at 13621 Harbor Boulevard (Assessor’s Parcel No. 100 -123-01), from Industrial (I) to International West Mixed Use (IW), in order to facilitate the property’s inclusion into the Housing Element Sites Inventory. The IW designation is intended to provide for a mix of uses including higher density residential, and allows residential densities of up to 70 dwelling units per acre. The abutting

Resolution No. 6069-23 Page 7

property to the east of the 13621 Harbor Boulevard property, located at 13631 Harbor Boulevard (Assessor’s Parcel No. 100 -123-02), is included in the Sites Inventory of the Adopted Housing Element. Both properties, while separate, are connected and function as a single integrated development with reciprocal access. Both properties are also under the same ownership.

When the Adopted Housing Element was approved in 2021, the rear portion of the development (13621 Harbor Boulevard) was not included in the Sites Inventory. Both properties comprise of a single integrated development. The proposed General Plan Amendment will facilitate the property’s ( 13621 Harbor Boulevard) inclusion into the Sites Inventory, and to establish the IW designation to allow residential development. The property is physically suitable for the IW designation, which, in part, allows residential development. The proposed IW designation for the property located at 13621 Harbor Boulevard is consistent with and compatible to the abutting properties along Harbor Boulevard, which are also within the IW designation.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF GARDEN GROVE

RECOMMENDING THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPT AN ORDINANCE APPROVING ZONING MAP AMENDMENT NO. A- 037-2023 TO REVISE THE ZONING MAP TO IMPLEMENT THE UPDATES TO THE ADOPTED 2021- 2029 HOUSING ELEMENT, AND TO CLARIFY

THE SITES INTENDED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE INTERNATIONAL WEST MIXED USE OVERLAY AND THE INDUSTRIAL/RESIDENTIAL MIXED USE 1 OVERLAY, PURSUANT TO ORDINANCE NO. 2925.

BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of Garden Grove, in regular session assembled on September 21, 2023, does hereby recommend that the City Council adopt an ordinance approving Zoning Map Amendment No. A-037-2023 to revise the Zoning Map to implement the updates to the Adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element and to clarify the sites intended to be included in the International West Mixed Use Overlay and the Industrial/Residential Mixed Use 1 Overlay pursuant to Ordinance No. 2925, as depicted in Exhibit “A”.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED in the matter of Zoning Map Amendment No. A-037-2023, the Planning Commission of the City of Garden Grove does hereby report as follows:

1. The case was initiated by the City of Garden Grove.

2. On November 9, 2021, the Garden Grove City Council adopted Resolution No. 9714-21 (i) adopting a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, (ii) adopting a Statement of Overriding Considerations, and (iii) certifying the Program EIR for the Focused General Plan Update and Zoning Amendments (“FGPUZA”) project, State Clearinghouse No. 2021060714. The FGPUZA project consisted of (i) 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; and (ii) Zoning Amendment No. A-031-2021, consisting of text/map amendments to Title 9 of the Municipal Code and to the Zoning Map to implement the Housing Element and Land Use Element Updates.

3. On November 9, 2021, the Garden Grove City Council adopted Resolution No. 9713-21 approving General Plan Amendment No. GPA- 003-2021, including adoption of the 2021-2029 Housing Element.

4. On December 14, 2021, the Garden Grove City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2925 approving Zoning Amendment No. A- 031-2021 to implement the General Plan Housing Element and Land Use Element updates adopted by the

Resolution No. 6070-23 Page 2

City Council on November 9, 2021. Pursuant to Ordinance No. 2925, the City Council added Section 9.18.190 to the Garden Grove Municipal Code creating the Mixed Use Overlay (MU) Zone, which includes the International West Mixed Use Overlay, the Industrial/Residential Mixed Use 1 Overlay, and the Residential/Commercial Mixed Use 2 Residential Overlay.

5. The City of Garden Grove is proposing (i) to adopt a General Plan Amendment (GPA- 002-2023), which includes updates to the adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element and an amendment to the Land Use Element to change the Land Use Designation of a property located at 13621 Harbor Boulevard (Assessor’s Parcel No. 100 -123-01), from Industrial (I) to International West Mixed Use (IW); and (ii) to adopt a Zoning Map Amendment (A- 037-2023) to revise the Zoning Map to implement the updates to the Housing Element, and to clarify the sites intended to be included in the International West Mixed-Use Overlay and the Industrial/Residential Mixed Use 1 Overlay, pursuant to Ordinance No. 2925.

The focus of the General Plan and Zoning Map Amendments is to comply with State law provisions and resolve comments received from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) on the adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element, in order to obtain HCD certification of the City’s Housing Element.

The Planning Commission recommends the City Council find that, based on substantial evidence in the record, no further review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) is required pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15168 and 15162 because the proposed General Plan and zoning amendments associated with the revisions to the Housing Element fall within the scope of impacts analyzed in the City of Garden Grove Focused General Plan Update and Zoning Amendments Environmental Impact Report, State Clearinghouse No. 2021060714 (“Garden Grove General Pla n Update and Focused Zoning Amendments”), and the General Plan and zoning amendments will not result in any new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts.

7. The Planning Commission reviewed the draft updates to the Housing Element, and the proposed revisions to the City’s Official Zoning Map submitted by City Staff at the September 21, 2023 meeting.

8. Concurrent with adoption of this Resolution, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 6069-23 recommending that the City Council approve General Plan Amendment No. GPA-002-2023.

9. Pursuant to legal notice, a public hearing was held on September 21, 2023 , and all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard.

Resolution No. 6070-23 Page 3

10. Report submitted by City staff was reviewed.

11. The Planning Commission gave due and careful consideration to the matter during its meeting of September 21, 2023.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, FOUND AND DETERMINED that the facts and reasons supporting the conclusion of the Planning Commission are as follows:

FACTS:

On December 14, 2021, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2925 approving Zoning Amendment No. A- 031-2021 to implement the General Plan Housing Element and Land Use Element updates adopted by the City Council on November 9, 2021. Pursuant Ordinance No. 2925, the City Council added Section 9.18.190 to the Garden Grove Municipal Code creating the Mixed Use Overlay (MU) Zone, which includes the International West Mixed Use Overlay, the Industrial/Residential Mixed Use 1 Overlay, and the Residential/Commercial Mixed Use 2 Residential Overlay.

Maps attached as Exhibits A-D and a list of parcels attached as Exhibit E to Ordinance No. 2925 purport to show the properties included in the Mixed Use Overlay Zone and each of the three separate Overlays.

Proposed General Plan Amendment (GPA- 002-2023) will revise and update the adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element and Housing Element Sites Inventory and amend the General Plan Land Use Designation of a property located at 13621 Harbor Bou levard (Assessor’s Parcel No. 100 -123-01), from Industrial (I) to International West Mixed Use (IW).

The proposed Zoning Map Amendment will revise the City’s Zoning Map to implement the updates to the Housing Element, as contemplated under General Plan Amendment No. GPA-002-2023. Eleven (11) properties that are to be added to the Housing Element Sites Inventory will have (through the proposed General Plan Amendment) or already have an underlying General Plan Land Use Designation that allows residential development, such as the International West Mixed Use or Industrial/Residential Mixed Use 1. However, the zoning of these eleven (11) properties currently does not allow residential development. Therefore, the proposed Zoning Map Amendment will revise the City’s Zoning Map, to cover one (1) property with the International West Mixed Use Overlay and cover ten (10) properties with the Industrial/Residential Mixed Use 1 Overlay. The purpose of the Mixed Use Overlay zone is to allow for residential and mixed-use development to be allowed in addition to those uses regulated by the respective underlying zoning.

The proposed Zoning Map Amendment will also correct clerical discrepancies in the Exhibits to Ordinance No. 2925 and clarify the sites intended to be included in the International West Mixed-Use Overlay and the Industrial/Residential Mixed Use 1 Overlay pursuant to Ordinance No. 2925. Fifteen (15) properties intended to be

Resolution No. 6070-23 Page 4

included in these Overlays and shown on the Exhibit A and C maps were inadvertently excluded from the list set forth in Exhibit E. The proposed Zoning amendment will correct this clerical discrepancy by including these sites on the Exhibit E listing all of the parcels to which the Mixed Use Overlay (MU) Zone is intended to apply.

The focus of the General Plan and Zoning Map Amendments is to comply with State law provisions and resolve comments received from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) on the adopted 2021 -2029 Housing Element, in order to obtain HCD certification of the City’s Housing Element.

FINDINGS AND REASONS:

1. The proposed zoning text and map amendments are internally consistent with the goals, policies, and elements of the General Plan.

The proposed Zoning Map Amendment will revise the City’s Zoning Map to implement the updates to the Adopted 2021- 2029 Housing Element, as contemplated under General Plan Amendment No. GPA- 002-2023. Eleven (11) properties that are to be added to the Housing Element Sites Inventory through the proposed General Plan Amendment will have (through the proposed General Plan Amendment) or already have an underlying General Plan Land Use Designation that allows residential development, such as International West Mixed Use or Industrial/Residential Mixed Use 1. The proposed Zoning Map Amendment will revise the City’s Zoning Map to cover one (1) additional property with the International West Mixed Use Overlay and to cover ten (10) additional properties with the Industrial/Residential Mixed Use 1 Overlay. The purpose of the Mixed Use Overlay zone is to allow for residential and mixed-use development to be allowed in addition to those uses regulated by the respective underlying zoning. The proposed Zoning Map Amendment will also correct clerical discrepancies in the Exhibits to Ordinance No. 2925 and clarify the sites intended to be included in the International West Mixed-Use Overlay and the Industrial/Residential Mixed Use 1 Overlay pursuant to Ordinance No. 2925. The focus of the General Plan and Zoning Map Amendments is to comply with State law provisions and resolve comments received from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) on the adopted 2021 -2029 Housing Element, in order to obtain HCD certification of the City’s Housing Element.

2. That the proposed zone change will ensure a degree of compatibility with surrounding properties and uses.

The proposed Zoning Map Amendment will revise the City’s Zoning Map to implement the updates to the Adopted 2021- 2029 Housing Element, as contemplated under General Plan Amendment No. GPA- 002-2023. Eleven

Resolution No. 6070-23 Page 5

(11) properties that are to be added to the Sites Inventory will have or already have an underlying General Plan Land Use Designation that allows residential development, such as International West Mixed Use or Industrial/Residential Mixed Use 1. The proposed Zoning Map Amendment will revise the City’s Zoning Map, to cover one (1) property with the International West Mixed Use Overlay and cover ten (10) properties with the Industrial/Residential Mixed Use 1 Overlay. The purpose of the Mixed Use Overlay zone is to allow for residential and mixed-use development to be allowed in addition to those uses regulated by the respective underlying zoning. The proposed Zoning Map Amendment will also correct clerical discrepancies in the Exhibits to Ordinance No. 2925 and clarify the sites intended to be included in the International West Mixed-Use Overlay and the Industrial/Residential Mixed Use 1 Overlay pursuant to Ordinance No. 2925.

Therefore, the parcels subject to the proposed Zoning Map Amendments are physically suitable for the proposed mixed use overlay, given the compatibility with the underlying General Plan Land Use Designations which allows residential development. The parcels subject to the proposed Zoning Amendments will also be compatible with the surrounding properties, in their respective vicinity, given that adjacent properties also have similar General Plan Land Use Designations and mixed use overlay zoning.

INCORPORATION OF FACTS AND FINDINGS SET FORTH IN STAFF REPORT:

In addition to the foregoing the Planning Commission incorporates herein by this reference, the facts and reasons set forth in the staff report.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does conclude:

1. Zoning Map Amendment No. A- 037-2023 possesses characteristics that would indicate justification of the request in accordance with Municipal Code Section 9.32.030.D.2 (Zone Change).

2. The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council adopt an Ordinance approving Zoning Map Amendment No. A- 037-2023 to implement the updates to the Adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element and to clarify the sites intended to be included in the International West Mixed Use Overlay and the Industrial/Residential Mixed Use 1 Overlay pursuant to Ordinance No. 2925, as depicted in Exhibit “A” attached hereto.

Applicant: CITY OF GARDEN GROVE
Date: September 21, 2023

Request: The Garden Grove Planning Commission will hold a public hearing and consider a recommendation that the City Council: (i) adopt a General Plan Amendment (GPA- 002-2023), which includes updates to the adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element and to amend the General Plan Land Use Designation of a property located at 13621 Harbor Boulevard (Assessor’s Parcel No. 100-123-01), from Industrial (I) to International West Mixed Use (IW); and (ii) adopt a Zoning Map amendment (A-037- 2023) to revise the Zoning Map to implement the updates to the Housing Element and to clarify the sites intended to be included in the International West Mixed Use Overlay and the Industrial/Residential Mixed Use 1 Overlay, pursuant to Ordinance No. 2925. The focus of the General Plan and Zoning Map Amendments is to comply with State law provisions and resolve comments received from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on the adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element, in order to obtain HCD certification of the City’s Housing Element.

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 General Plan and 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 an d Focused Zoning Amendments”), potential impacts of the General Plan and zoning amendments fall within the scope of the General Plan Update EIR, and the General Plan and zoning amendments will not result in any new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts. The Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the Garden Grove City Council.

WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Garden Grove gave due and careful consideration to the matter during its meeting of October 10, 2023, and considered all oral and written testimony presented.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, FOUND, AND DETERMINED as follows:

1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference.

2. The City Council of the City of Garden Grove hereby makes the following findings regarding General Plan Amendment No. GPA-002-2023:

a. The City Council finds that the updated draft Revised 2021- 2029 Housing Element complies with all of the requirements set forth in Government Code Section 65583.

b. In accordance with subdivision (g)(2) of Government Code Section 65583.2, the City Council finds that, b ased on substantial evidence in the record, including, but not limited to, application of the suitability criteria contained in the “Criteria for Selecting Sites to Meet the Lower-

Resolution No. Page 4

Income RHNA”, under Section 12.4 (Housing Resources) of the Draft Revised Adopted 2021 2029 Housing Element, which includes (i) developer or property owner interest to redevelop a site, (ii) if a site is vacant, a parking lot, or is open storage that includes minimal improvements, (iii) if a property is under City ownership, (iv) if the existing uses on a site are similar to those that have been previously recycled in surrounding communities, (v) if property improvement value is less than land value, (vi) if structures on a site were built prior to 1985, (vii) if there is a low existing floor area ratio under 0.50 on a site, (viii) if any leases on a site expire within the planning period, and (ix) if buildings on a site are in deteriorating condition and/or there are many tenant vacancies, the existing uses on the nonvacant sites identified in the Sites Inventory to accommodate the lower-income RHNA are likely to be discontinued during the planning period, and therefore, do not constitute an impediment to additional residential development during the period covered by the 2021- 2029 Housing Element.

c. The City Council finds that, based on substantial evidence in the record, no further review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) is required pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15168 and 15162 because the proposed General Plan and zoning amendments associated with the revisions to the Housing Element fall within the scope of impacts 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”), and the General Plan and zoning amendments will not result in any new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts; and

d. The General Plan Amendment is internally consistent with the goals, policies, and elements of the General Plan. The proposed General Plan Amendment includes updates to the Adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element approved in 2021. The focus of the General Plan Amendment is to comply with State law provisions and resolve comments received from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) on the adopted 2021 -2029 Housing Element, in order to obtain HCD certification of the City’s Housing Element. In conjunction with the updates to the Housing Element, and to ensure internal consistency between the General Plan Elements, the proposal also includes a concurrent update to the Land Use Element and Land Use Diagram (Exhibit LU- 3 also referred to as “land use map” in the Municipal Code), to amend the General Plan Land Use Designation of the property located at 13621 Harbor Boulevard (Assessor’s Parcel No.

Resolution No. Page 5

100-123-01), from Industrial (I) to International West Mixed Use (IW), in order to facilitate the property’s inclusion into the Housing Element Sites Inventory. All other properties being added to the Sites Inventory already have an underlying General Plan Land Use Designation that allows residential development.

e. The General Plan Amendment will promote the public interest, health, safety, and welfare of the surrounding community. The updates to the Adopted 2021-20219 Housing Element and the update to the Land Use Diagram (Exhibit LU- 3 also referre d to as “land use map” in the Municipal Code) of the Land Use Element will promote housing production for all income levels in conformance with the State’s 6 th Cycle (2021-2029) of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) that requires the City to plan for 19,168 residential dwelling units during the 2021-2029 planning period. These updates will facilitate housing production to meet the housing needs of existing and future residents for the production of safe, decent, and affordable housing for all persons in the community. The focus of the General Plan Amendment is to comply with State law provisions and resolve comments received from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) on the adopted 2021 -2029 Housing Element, in order to obtain HCD certification of the City’s Housing Element.

f. In conjunction with the updates to the Housing Element, and to ensure internal consistency between the General Plan Elements, the proposal also includes a concurrent update to the Land Use Element and Land Use Diagram (Exhibit LU- 3 also referred to as “land use map” in the Municipal Code), to amend the General Plan Land Use Designation of the property located at 13621 Harbor Boulevard (Assessor’s Parcel No. 100-123-01), from Industrial (I) to International West Mixed Use (IW), in order to facilitate the property’s inclusion into the Housing Element Sites Inventory. The IW designation is intended to provide for a mix of uses, including higher density residential, and allows residential densities of up to 70 dwelling units per acre. The abutting property to the east of the 13621 Harbor Boulevard property, located at 13631 Harbor Boulevard (Assessor’s Parcel No. 100 -123-02), is included in the Sites Inventory of the Adopted Housing Element. Both properties, while separate, are connected and function as a single integrated development with reciprocal access. Both properties are also under the same ownership. When the Adopted Housing Element was approved in 2021, the rear portion of the development (13621 Harbor Boulevard) was not included in the Sites Inventory. Both properties comprise a single integrated development. The proposed General Plan Amendment will facilitate the property’s (13621 Harbor Boulevard)

Resolution No. Page 6

inclusion into the Sites Inventory, and establish the IW designation to allow residential development. The property is physically suitable for the IW designation, which, in part, allows residential development.

The proposed IW designation for the property located at 13621 Harbor Boulevard is consistent with and compatible to the abutting properties along Harbor Boulevard, which are also within the IW designation.

3. The facts and reasons stated in Planning Commission Resolution No. 6069-23 recommending approval of General Plan Amendment No. GPA-002- 2023, a copy of which is one file in the City Clerk’s Office, are incorporated herein by reference with the same force and effect as if set forth in full.

4. General Plan Amendment No. GPA-002-2023 is hereby approved, (i) to revise and update the Adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element consistent with the changes reflected in the June 2023 draft approved by HCD and the non- substantive typographical corrections reflected in the September 2023 draft presented at the meeting ; and (ii) to amend the General Plan Land Use Designation of a property located at 13621 Harbor Boulevard (Assessor’s Parcel No. 100-123-01), from Industrial (I) to International West Mixed Use (IW), as depicted in Exhibit “A” attached to this Resolution.

5. The Director of Community Development is hereby directed to transmit the updated adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for its earliest action and certification as provided by law; and is further directed and authorized to make all non-substantive changes to the Housing Element as required to make it internally consistent, or to address any non-substantive changes suggested or requested by HCD.

6. This Resolution shall take effect on the thirty-first (31st) day following adoption.

7. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.

WHEREAS, a duly noticed public hearing regarding General Plan Amendment No. GPA-002-2023 and Zoning Map Amendment No. A- 037-2023 was held by the City Council on October 10, 2023, and all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard; and

WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Garden Grove gave due and careful consideration to the matter during its meeting of October 10, 2023, and considered all oral and written testimony presented.

WHEREAS, the City Council hereby makes the following findings regarding Zoning Map Amendment No. A-037-2023:

A. The proposed zoning map amendments are internally consistent with the goals, policies, and elements of the General Plan. Pursuant to General Plan Amendment No. GPA- 002-2023, the City Council has adopted updates to the Housing Element and Land Use Element to comply with the State’s 6 th Cycle (2021- 2029) of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) that requires the City to plan for 19,168 additional residential dwelling units for all income levels during the planning period. T he proposed Zoning Map Amendment will revise the City’s Zoning Map to apply the International West Mixed Use Overlay to one (1) additional property and the Industrial/Residential Mixed Use 1 Overlay to ten (10) additional properties that were added to the Housing Element Sites Inventory through General Plan Amendment No. GPA- 002-2023. In addition to being listed in the Housing Element Sites Inventory, these eleven (11) properties all have an underlying General Plan Land Use Designation that allows residential development at the densities permitted by the Overlay zoning. The proposed Zoning Map Amendment will also specify fifteen (15) parcels to which the International West Mixed Use Overlay and the Industrial/Residential Mixed Use 1 Overlay apply, but which, due to a clerical error, were inadvertently not listed on Exhibit E to Ordinance No. 2925.

These fifteen (15) parcels are also listed in the Housing Elements Sites Inventory and have an underlying General Plan Land Use Designation that allows residential development at the densities permitted by the Overlay zoning. The focus of the General Plan and Zoning Map Amendments is to comply with State law provisions and resolve comments received from the California Department of Housing and

Ordinance No. Page 4
Community Development (“HCD”) on the adopted 2021 -2029 Housing Element, in order to obtain HCD certification of the City’s Housing Element.

B. The proposed zoning map amendments will promote the public interest, health, safety, and welfare of the surrounding community. Zoning Map Amendment No. A-037-2023 will implement the goals, policies and programs of the updated Housing Element and facilitate certification of the Housing Element by HCD.

C. The parcels subject to the proposed Zoning Map amendments are physically suitable for the requested land use designation(s), compatible with surrounding land uses, and consistent with the General Plan. The proposed Zoning Map Amendment will revise the City’s Zoning Map to apply the International West Mixed Use Overlay to one (1) additional property and the Industrial/Residential Mixed Use 1 Overlay to ten (10) additional properties that were added to the Housing Element Sites Inventory through General Plan Amendment No. GPA-002-2023. These eleven (11) properties were evaluated in conjunction with General Plan Amendment No. GPA-002-2023 and determined to be suitable for the development of housing, and they each have an underlying General Plan Land Use Designation that allows residential development at the densities permitted by the Overlay zoning. The proposed Zoning Map Amendment will also specify fifteen (15) parcels to which the International West Mixed Use Overlay and the Industrial/Residential Mixed Use 1 Overlay apply, but which, due to a clerical error, were inadvertently not listed on Exhibit E to Ordinance No. 2925. These fifteen (15) parcels were evaluated in conjunction with the 2021 FGPUZA project and determined to be suitable for the development of housing, are identified in the Housing Elements Sites Inventory, and have an underlying General Plan Land Use Designation that allows residential development at the densities permitted by the Overlay zoning. All 26 parcels subject to the proposed Zoning Map Amendments are physically suitable for the mixed use overlay, given the compatibility with the underlying General Plan Land Use Designations which allows residentia l development, and permitting the development of residential uses on these parcels will be compatible with the surrounding land uses in their respective vicinity, given that adjacent properties also have similar General Plan Land Use Designations and mixed use overlay zoning.

OBJECTIVE

BACKGROUND
The Public Works Department retained AKM Consulting Engineers (AKM) to complete a visual inspection, prepare a condition assessment, and develop preliminary repair methods for each of the City-owned Flood Control Channels. AKM concluded their report and categorized all improvements into four (4) main areas - the two (2) areas of major concern and priority were labeled “IA” Immediate Attention, and “UA” Urgent Attention. AKM”s construction estimate totaled $6,159,459; however, Public Works was able to complete this work with an in-house contractor at approximately $5,100,000 less than the consultant’s original estimate.

DISCUSSION
On June 13, 2023, City Council approved the biennial budget, which included General Fund appropriations for the flood control channel improvements, as recommended by AKM’s assessment report. CT&T started work in July 2023, completing major structural work in September 2023. CT&T will be completing the remaining work, specifically repairs to the channel floors by the end of November 2023.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funding for these improvements is included in the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Capital

Improvement Plan budget. No additional appropriation is necessary to approve the contract amendment.

FISCAL YEARS 2021-2022 AND 2022-2023 UPDATES

COMPREHENSIVE STRATEGIC PLAN

TO ADDRESS HOMELESSNESS

GARDEN GROVE
Updated Comprehensive Strategic Plan to Address Homelessness \\ Page 2 The GG-CSPAH is a five- year roadmap designed to communicate existing homelessness efforts and programs and identify priority goals and strategic actions the City plans to take in its fight against homelessness. Integrating the framework of the Garden Grove Coalition to End Homelessness, the goals and strategic actions in this plan are specifically designed to enhance public engagement and accountability, to improve housing and services options, and to cultivate a comprehensive continuum of care for the homeless and at-risk populations.

The City acknowledges that effectively addressing homelessness requires a collective effort involving all stakeholders. Hence, the City has established specific mechanisms for interdepartmental collaboration and governance to advance this initiative.

OVERVIEW AND PURPOSE OF COMPREHENSIVE STRATEGIC PLAN
The City of Garden Grove is strategically located in central Orange County, the 5th largest city with a population of approximately 170,488 according to the 2020 estimates by the U.S. Census Bureau.

In 2016, an Assessment of Homeless Services in Orange County identified the need for regional coordination that resulted in the creation of Service Planning Areas (SPA’s). Garden Grove is identified within the Central Service Planning Area (Central SPA) among 9 cities. Regional collaborative efforts and milestones led by the City, Central SPA jurisdiction and the County of Orange are highlighted into this document.

As of January 2019, the latest Point in Time (PIT) Count revealed that, on any given night in Garden Grove, an estimated 225 individuals experienced homelessness. In May 2019, a City Council Study Session was conducted to highlight the City’s Comprehensive Approach to Address Homelessness, an overview of homeless activities and resources deployed to address the increasing homelessness challenges.

During FY 2018-2019, Garden Grove first responders received and responded to 7,426 calls for services related to homeless, incurring a fiscal impact of approximately $825,000. The PIT 2022 concluded that there are an estimated 319 individuals experiencing homelessness in any given night, a 42% increase from the 2019 PIT count.

Considering the urgency to address homelessness, the City of Garden Grove created the Comprehensive Strategic Plan to Address Homelessness (GG-CSPAH or CSPAH), incorporating the ongoing efforts identified in the 2019 Comprehensive Approach to Address Homelessness and the following priorities were presented to the City Council:
• STABILIZE: Explore partnerships to establish a local Crisis Stabilization Unit • NAVIGATE: Evaluate alternatives and feasibility of a local Navigation Center • SUPPORT: Encourage development of Permanent Supportive Housing • ASSIST: Create a Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program

KOREA CULTURAL GUIDE
Korean culture is profoundly influenced by Confucian principles and this pervades not only personal lives, but also business. Confucianism supports group harmony, respect for elders and authority, the importance of family, friendship and ancestors, and also, tradition. Korean business is founded upon relationships; even large cor­ porations are often family managed with members still acting in executive positions.

The Confucian principles regarding respect for age, family, rank and tradition have ensured the continuance of this system. There have been recent calls for reforms, due to economic downturns in Korea but this will take time due to the entrenched systems in place.

How to build a trusting friendship while you only have a short period of time? • Build relationship first then talk business: in South Korea, good relationships are crucial to success both in personal and business circles, and these are assimilated within the business world. Korean's make friends first, and clients second. To make the most of your business acumen you must also appear trust­ worthy, honorable and respectable in a social and business setting. • During a Business Meeting: as Koreans llve and conduct business within a Confucian framework, initial meetings are often used in an introductory fashion and business may be instigated later. Do not show impatience at this stage as these pleasantries are a way of getting to know you. Choosing delegates who are on par with their Korean counterpart shows respect and knowledge. Exchange business cards in a respectful manner after the initial introductions. • Communication: Korean business and personal lives are based upon strict hierarchical structures. In order to show respect, some Koreans still do not make eye-contact for any length of time when in the presence of an authority figure. However, this is changing and you should make direct eye-contact when addressing business professionals and clients, as doing so is expected and is interpreted as an indication of your honesty and interest.
• Gift giving: gift-giving is a common practice when doing business in Korea. Koreans are generous people and enjoy giving gifts. The way to accept the gift in Korea is with both hands and you can return the favor and offer something of a similar value. The gifts given at the first meeting are intended to acquire favors and to build relationships. To reciprocate, you can give good quality alcohol such as scotch, or desk accessories, but try to avoid overly expensive gifts as Koreans feel indebted to give as they receive.

CULTURAL TIPS
• Koreans have three names; they are used in order of surname, generation name, and then given name. If unsure, address people as Mr. (surname) or just surname and then their title (teacher, professor, etc.). Generally, Koreans will offer you their name, which may be a West­ ernized version of their Korean name.
• Communication can be complicated in South Korea due to an inherent dislike of saying 'no' as it is considered poor etiquette. Avoid using an outright 'No' in response to questions. • Food and dining are important parts of Korean culture and are used to build relationships.

Be sociable and work at shaping good associations for pleasure and business as they are interlinked.
• Don't forget to pass and receive food / drinks with two hands or with just your right if it is supported by your left. This also includes giving and receiving business cards with the Korean side uppermost for ease of reading.
• Do not use red ink. This is a symbol of death and is reserved only for writing the names of the deceased. It is considered unlucky and suggests you wish death to the recipient. • There are often times of silence during meetings, try not to break these as they are moments of contemplation and show consideration for others.
• Good posture and positive body language is most beneficial in meetings; patience and politeness must be maintained throughout.
