Goal H-3 – Provide adequate sites for housing.
Program H-3a:
Compliance with Regional Housing Needs Allocation
The City has a sufficient inventory of available sites to ensure capacity to accommodate the City’s 2014-
2021 RHNA allocation. This includes existing zoning
for sites which are adequate to accommodate the
City’s allocation of 67 units affordable to extremely
low income households, 67 units affordable to very-
low income households, 96 units affordable to low
income households, 112 units affordable to
moderate income households, and 262 units
affordable to above-moderate income households.
The City’s existing capacity for housing, including
projects in the approval process, will allow the City to meet or exceed the RHNA need. In order to
implement the City’s 2006-2014 Housing Element
and provide adequate sites for the City’s Cycle 4
RHNA allocation, the City rezoned a number of
parcels. The City’s Cycle 5 (2014-2021) RHNA
allocation is lower than the previous RHNA
allocation, resulting in a surplus of available sites for Meet the 2014-2021
RHNA.
Between 2013 and 2021, the City has permitted 538
units. The City has met its RHNA allocation for
Moderate-Income units.
A total of 304 housing units remain to meet the City’s
RHNA allocation, according to the 2019 Annual Progress
Report. This includes a remaining 134 Very Low-Income
units, 46 Low-Income units, and 124 Above Moderate-
Income units.

Appendix B: Candidate Sites Analysis
The Housing Element is required to identify potential candidate housing sites by income category to meet the City’s RHNA allocation. The sites identified within the Housing Element represent the City of Hemet’s plan for housing at the designated income levels within the 6th Housing Cycle planning period (2021-2029).
The identified sites are all currently residentially zoned and vacant. The development capacity of each site depends on permitted density and site-specific factors detailed in this appendix.
Table B-1 shows the City’s 2021-2029 RHNA need by income category, as well as a summary of the sites identified to meet the need. The analysis within this appendix shows that the City of Hemet has the capacity to meet its 2021-2029 RHNA allocation through a variety of methods, including:
• Identification of development capacity on sites which permit development of residential uses at or above 30 dwelling units per acre;
• Development of projects in-the-pipeline which have not yet received certificates of occupancy; • Future development of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs); Table B-1: Summary of RHNA Status and Sites Inventory

1. Selection of Sites
The City of Hemet has identified 1,074 sites with capacity to accommodate the 2021-2029 RHNA. These sites are located within existing residentially zoned land at their existing densities. All identified sites were evaluate based on surrounding and existing on-site developments to determine the extent to which on- site uses have the potential to redevelop within the planning period.
Reasonable Capacity Assumption
Reasonable capacity for sites identified to meet the City’s RHNA was calculated based on a numbe r of factors, including existing zoning requirements, vacancy, and the assumed density based on the City’s development history. Per HCD guidance, the City has assumed a potential development density of 80 percent of the maximum permitted where recent devel opment history in the zoning designation is not present. Potential constraints to the full redevelopment of the parcel, to the extent they are known, such as environmentally sensitive areas, were considered and deductions were made where those factors decreased the net buildable area of a parcel. For example, if a parcel contained a large slope on one side, the buildable acreage was assumed at 50% of the gross parcel acreage. Additionally, all development standards have been applied to candidate sites and i t was determined that all project would feasibly develop at the assumed density of 80 percent of the maximum permitted density in any given zone regardless if its residential or not. Table B-1 shows residential projects in the pipeline. Of the projects currently under construction, all are developing at 92 percent of maximum density or higher. Many are being developed at maximum capacity. Based on past performance, the City believes that it is reasonable to assume a density of 80 percent of the maximum permitted density in any given zone regardless if its residential or not.
There is the likelihood for a project to develop at the assumed density of 100 percent of the maximum permitted density for all non -residential uses in non -residential zones. While the City understands its RHNA obligations, it must also continue to accommodate growth for jobs, retail, services, and amenities, especially in existing mixed-use land use category areas. In order to account for and address this, the City has evaluated each of the sites and has accounted for nonresidential growth. The assumptions vary depending on the past performance of recent development and future projected trends. In areas where there are pending applications and ow ner or developer interest, assumptions for residential were increased. Conversely, assumptions were decreased in areas where residential development is more speculative.
Between the redevelopment assumptions and the demonstrative projects exhibiting a solid trend towards residential development, the City believes candidate sites areas are conducive to residential development and essential to maintaining thriving, vibrant neighborhoods. As certain sites permit both residential and nonresidential uses, Program H -3m is included to establish incentives that promote residential development over nonresidential. Section 4: Housing Plan identifies a variety of programs that incentivize residential development, particularly affordable residential development. However, as Table B-1 shows, the City is experiencing a large influx of residential development project (5,201 units are currently in the
12.C
Appendix B: Candidate Sites Analysis (DRAFT) Page B-5 Hemet | 6th Cycle Housing Element Update (2021-2029)
pipeline); as such, it can be assumed that residential development is highly likely to continue remaining a top interest on sites where residential uses are permitted.
Additionally, the City analyzed sites in zones that allow for 100 percent nonresidential uses and intentionally selected sites due to ownership. Only 43 of the 1,086 total candidate sites allow nonresidential uses. Of the 43 sites, 26 are owned by the Housing Authority of Riverside County and 7 are owned by the City of Hemet. Due this ownership, the County and City , respectively, control what can develop on those sites and both jurisdictions have committed to developing residential uses on these sites. Specifically, the sites are to accommodate low and very low-income sites and both jurisdictions can encourage this development through the use of incentives such as subsidized land costs.
Table B-1 provides a list of projects currently in the pipeline. Five of those projects are proposed at densities ranging from 20 to 39 dwelling units an acre, with average lot sizes of 12.3 acres, 27 dwelling units per acre, and 302 units. Candidate sites with assumed densities of 80 of the maximum permitted are generally lower than the pipeline project examples that are proposing higher densities. Of the pipeline projects, one is proposing 348 affordable units on about 13.9 acres at a density of 25 units per acre and another is proposing 400 affordable units on about 14.6 acres at a density of 27 unites per acre.
2. Projects in the Pipeline
The City has identified a number of projects currently in, or that have completed the entitlement process.
These projects are likely to be developed and/or first occupied during the planning period and count as credit towards the 2021-2029 RHNA allocation. The City currently has identified 21 projects with a total planned development of 5,201 units, including 900 units affordable to very low-/low-income households.
The affordability of these projects has been determined based on the density permitted on each site and/or information provided by applicants . The last three projects has been determined based on the covenants or requirements

Pipeline projects that that are market rate are assumed all above moderate and lower income are based on covenants, development agreements, or information provided by applicants. The City typically does not know actual or projected sale or rent prices until units are made available to the market. Market trends typically dictate housing costs and developers project sale prices and rent levels, but those figures almost always change. Regardless, the City monitors housing costs and has added multiple monitoring programs to the Housing Plan. Based on an analysis of units constructed in the past five years, the City was able to determine average costs for units based on size. Table B-2 below shows average costs for units based on square footage or bedroom size. While inflationary pressures have caused the cost of housing to rise, the City is confident that pipeline project will likely develop at the affordability levels provided in Table B-1. These assumptions are based on applicant information, past development, and mechanisms to ensure affordability such as the City’s anticipated inclusionary housing policy.

3. Development of Larger Site Parcels
Assembly Bill 1397 identifies general size requirements for candidate housing sites designated to accommodate low- and very low-income units of greater than half an acre and less than 10 acres in size.
The City has identified 2 parcels that are larger than 10 acres. Both of these parcels are zoned R-3 with an assumed density of 24 dwelling units per acre and propose to create 89 and 88 units each.
These parcels have been identified as they are adjacent to one another and are also adjacent to existing residential neighborhoods and commercial amenities. The 2 larger site parcels identified as part of the sites analysis are located directly across the street from the parcels are two pipeline project measuring 173.8 acres and 218.3 acres – Tres Cerritos and Ramona Creek, respectively. While the adjacent pipeline projects are developing single-family lots, the City not only has a history of developing of larger site parcels (Table B-1), but it also has pipeline projects developing affordable housing units on site s larger than 10 acres. Table B-1 shows 900 pipeline units affordable to low and very low income households through Villages at Hemet, Project No.2, and Project No.3 on lots measuring 8.8, 13.9, and 14.6 acres, respectively.
Villages at Hemet, Project No.2, and Project No.3 are seeking to build 152, 348, and 400 units affordable to lower income households, respectively. The two larger, vacant candidate housing sites have capacity to accommodate a total of 296 and 292 units, including 89 and 88 affordable to lower income households, which is significantly less than the number of affordable units on the larger pipeline sites.
The City is currently working with Palm Communities, an affordable housing developer, for the development of a 181-unit affordable housing project, Project No. 2, on a large parcel of 13.9 acres. City staff’s assumes through discussions with the project applicant, that rent will range from 30 percent to 60 percent of AMI. Affordability categories and rent levels are still unknown at this time.
Project No. 3 was concepted as an affordable housing project, however, more recently, the City Council received a presentation and request for letter of support from the Riverside University Health System to apply for the BHCIP and CCE Grant. Riverside University Health System is seeking grants to construct a recovery village model , consisting of 140 permanent supportive housing units , to close the gap for continuum of care. It is assumed all of these units will be affordable to lower income households. The project is in coordination with the California Department of Social Services Housing and Homeless Branch and California Department of Health Care Services Community Services division. The Council authorized a letter of support to pursue the project. To date, the City has not received any further information from County Behavioral Health in pursuance of the project.
Based on the City’s current pipeline projects, 77.7 percent of the projects are located on large sites of 10 acres or more. Of the 14 sites on parcels 10 acres or more, Project No. 2 and No. 3 propose 100 percent affordable units for individuals of low or very low-income. The development of affordable units on sites larger than 10 acres is not considered a constraint and is considered feasible within the 2021 -2029 Planning Period.
12.C
Appendix B: Candidate Sites Analysis (DRAFT) Page B-11 Hemet | 6th Cycle Housing Element Update (2021-2029)
4. Development of Smaller Site Parcels
Supplemental to the Sites identified to meet the City’s RHNA allocation which fall within AB 1397 criteria, the City has identified 11 parcels smaller than half an acre designated to accommodate low- and very low- income units.
The parcels identified are a ll currently part of in -the-pipeline projects which will include plans for lot consolidations. Therefore, these smaller site parcels, as listed in Table B-5, are deemed appropriate to include as part of the City’s Candidate Sites.
5. Accessory Dwelling Units
Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) are housing units which may be developed in addition to an existing single- or multi-family residential use. These housing units can be free-standing or attached to a primary structure and are intended to provide additional housing on an existing residential lot. Other ADUs provide housing for family members or are rented to members of the community.
As a result of new legislation and an increased effort by the City to promote ADUs, the City has seen an increase in applications. The City permitted 1 ADU in 2019, followed by 4 in 2020, and 53 in 2021. In 2021 the City approved 38 ADUs and 40 in 2022 as of December 7, 2022 In accordance with State Law, ADUs are allowed in all zones that allow single dwelling unit or multiple dwe lling unit development. Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (Jr. ADUs) are permitted only in single dwelling unit zones.
The City of Hemet has determined, based on past performance, that it is appropriate to anticipate the development of 88 ADUs from 2021 to 2029. Table B-3 below displays the estimated projections for the 8-year planning period. To project the number of ADUs throughout the planning period, the City has taken the average of ADUs permitted between 2018 and 2021 and allocated that total to each year. This results in the projected development of 11 ADUs annually through the planning period.

Additionally, to facilitate the development of ADUs available for lower income households, the City has developed relevant policies and programs (see Section 4: Housing Plan). The City assumes an affordability breakdown for ADUs based on the ADU Affordabil ity Assumptions produced by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) for each county. Using the SCAG assumptions for Riverside County, the City has allocated the following ADU totals for each income category:
Table B-4: Accessory Dwelling Unit Projections by Income Category Income Category Units
Low- and Very Low-Income 51 units
Moderate Income 30 units
Above Moderate Income 7 units
TOTAL 88 units
In accordance with State law, ADUs are allowed in all zones that allow for a single dwelling unit or multiple dwelling unit development. Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (Jr. ADUs) are permitted only in zones where a single-family dwelling unit is allowed.
To assist the City’s ADU development projections, programs have been included in Section 4: Housing Plan to promote and incentivize the development of ADUs during the planning period.
6. Vacant Land to Accommodate Lower-Income Need
The City of Hemet has identified sufficient land to accommodate at least 50 percent of the RHNA allocation for very low-income/low-income housing units on currently vacant parcels. A total of 31 parcels have been identified as part of the Sites Analysis as having propensity to develop 744 housing units affordable to
12.C
Appendix B: Candidate Sites Analysis (DRAFT) Page B-13 Hemet | 6th Cycle Housing Element Update (2021-2029)
very low-income/low-income households. This includes sites that may have land use designations of MDR (which permits up to 18 dwelling units per acre) but also have zoning designations of R-3 (which permits up to 30 dwelling units per acre). For these sites, estimations have been lowered and assumptions of 24 dwelling units per acre have been applied. Exactly 744 very low-/low-income units can be accommodated on currently vacant land, which amounts to be 100 percent of the very low-income and low-income RHNA.
Consequently, the existing uses on the three non-vacant sites identified in this appendix are not presumed to impeded additional residential development. Existing uses on the three non-vacant sites identified as part of the Sites Analysis have also been evaluated for propensity and represent two vacant lots with small structures/sheds and one recreational park.
7. Water, Sewer, and Dry Utility Availability
Each site has been evaluated to ensure there is adequate access to water and sewer connections as well as dry utilities. Each site is situated with a direct connection to a public street that has the appropriate water and sewer mains and other infrastructure to service the candidate site. Services and infrastructure are detailed and evaluated in the Cit y’s Community Services and Infrastructure Element of the Hemet General Plan; as no land use amendments are proposed as part of the 2021 -2029 Housing Element, the existing evaluation of services and infrastructure remains adequate.
Sewage
The City’s Sewer System Management Plan provides for the identification of sewer system distribution throughout the community. All sites identified in the sites inventory have existing sewer system capacity and Element 8 (System Evaluation & Capacity Assurance Plan) is provide as part of the Management Plan to ensure the availability of future capacity citywide. Element 8 finds the sewer collection system to be of adequate capacity to service the existing and the projected service area. The City continues to plan for and fund improvements to sewer lines when deemed necessary – historically due to blockages and/or stoppage, not as a result of hydraulic deficiency.
Flooding and Drainage
The City’s Master Flood Control and Drainage Plan identifies drainage issues and necessary infrastructure improvements to provide flood protection for both existing and future developments in the City.
According to the City’s General Plan, the Master Flood Control and Drainage Plan needs to be updated to reflect the current built environment and to incorporate recently completed drainage systems. Policy CSI-
4.9 of the Hemet General plan 2030 provides for a comprehensive and ongoing update to the City’s Master Flood Control and Drainage Plan or the creation of sub -area Drainage Plans to reflec t current land use patterns, best management practices, and environmental constraints.
Water Supply
The City of Hemet Water District, Eastern Municipal Water District, and Lake Hemet Municipal Water District all manage water supply for the City. According to the City’s Community Services and
12.C
Appendix B: Candidate Sites Analysis (DRAFT) Page B-14 Hemet | 6th Cycle Housing Element Update (2021-2029)
Infrastructure Element of the General Plan, t he City plans to continue to use local groundwater as its primary supply source through 2030; and therefore, recognizes the need to implement a combination of basin recharge measures through both natural and artificial means and water conservation measures. In addition, the City has one connection with an EMWD well to be accessed on an as-needed basis only. The City estimates in its Community Services and Infrastructure Element of the General Plan that demand for water within its service area will increase from 5,767 acre -feet to 6,370 acre -feet from 2005 to 2030.
Groundwater supplies will meet demand assuming Hemet and San Jacinto Groundwater Basins recharge efforts are successful. To further improve system reliability, the City plans to add a new 2-million-gallon reservoir to the water system to increase storage capacity and allow for flexibility should an existing reservoir need to be taken offline for cleaning or maintenance.
Natural Gas
Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) supplies natural gas to residences in Hemet. Natural gas is provided through a network of gas transmission pipelines and distributed through existing mains, which can be extended to serve new r esidential projects. SoCalGas will continue to provide adequate services to current and future residences within Hemet.
Electricity
Southern California Edison (SCE) maintains and operates the transmission and distribution infrastructure to provide electricity throughout the State and for the City of Hemet. SCE is actively increasing its sources of renewable energy resources such as wind, geothermal, solar, biomass, and small hydro energy. SCE will continue to provide adequate services to Hemet, including increased household growth as projected by the City’s RHNA allocation.
Candidate Sites List
This appendix contains Table B-4, in the following pages, which identifies each candidate housing site to meet the City’s allocated RHNA allocation for the 2 021-2029 planning cycle.

California Public Resources Code Sections 21092.2, and 21167(f) and Government Code Section 65092 require agencies to mail such notices to any person who has filed a written request for them with the clerk of the agency’s governing body.
The City should require housing projects developed pursuant to the final Housing Element Update to provide additional community benefits such as requiring local hire and use of a skilled and trained workforce to build such projects. The City should require the use of workers who have graduated from a Joint Labor Management apprenticeship training program approved by the State of California, or have at least as many hours of on-the-job experience in the applicable craft which would be required to graduate from such a state approved apprenticeship training program or who are registered apprentices in an apprenticeship training program approved by the State of California.
Community benefits such as local hire and skilled and trained workforce requirements can also be helpful to reduce environmental impacts and improve the positive economic impact of the Project. Local hire provisions requiring that a certain percentage of workers reside within 10 miles or less of a project site can reduce the length of vendor trips, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and providing localized economic benefits. Local hire provisions requiring that a certain percentage of workers reside within 10 miles or less of a project site can reduce the length of vendor trips, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and providing localized economic benefits. As environmental consultants Matt Hagemann and Paul E. Rosenfeld note:

[A]ny local hire requirement that results in a decreased worker trip length from the default value has the potential to result in a reduction of construction-related GHG emissions, though the significance of the reduction would vary based on the location and urbanization level of the project site.
March 8, 2021 SWAPE Letter to Mitchell M. Tsai re Local Hire Requirements and Considerations for Greenhouse Gas Modeling.
Skilled and trained workforce requirements promote the development of skilled trades that yield sustainable economic development. As the California Workforce Development Board and the UC Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education concluded:
. . . la bor should be considered an investment rather than a cost – and investments in growing, diversifying, and upskilling California’s workforce can positively affect returns on climate mitigation efforts. In other words, well trained workers are key to deliver ing emissions reductions and moving California closer to its climate targets.
1 Local skilled and trained workforce requirements and policies have significant environmental benefits since they improve an area’s jobs-housing balance, decreasing the amount of and length of job commutes and their associated greenhouse gas emissions. Recently, on May 7, 2021, the South Coast Air Quality Management District found that that the “[u]se of a local state-certified apprenticeship program or a skilled and trained workforce with a local hire component” can result in air pollutant reductions.
2 Cities are increasingly adopting local skilled and trained workforce policies and requirements into general plans and municipal codes. For example, the City of Hayward 2040 General Plan requires the City to “promote local hiring . . . to help achieve a more

positive jobs-housing balance, and reduce regional commuting, gas consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions.”3
In fact, the City of Hayward has gone as far as to adopt a Skilled Labor Force policy into its Downtown Specific Plan and municipal code, requiring developments in its Downtown area to requiring that the City “[c]ontribute to the stabilization of regional construction markets by spurring applicants of housing and nonresidential developments to require contractors to utilize apprentices from state-approved, joint labor-management training programs, . . .”4 In addition, the City of Hayward requires all projects 30,000 square feet or larger to “utilize apprentices from state-approved, joint labor-management training programs.”5
Locating jobs closer to residential areas can have significant environmental benefits. As the California Planning Roundtable noted in 2008:
People who live and work in the same jurisdiction would be more likely to take transit, walk, or bicycle to work than residents of less balanced communities and their vehicle trips would be shorter. Benefits would include potential reductions in both vehicle miles traveled and vehicle hours traveled.
6 In addition, local hire mandates as well as skill training are critical facets of a strategy to reduce vehicle miles traveled. As planning experts Robert Cervero and Michael Duncan noted, simply placing jobs near housing stock is insufficient to achieve VMT reductions since the skill requirements of available local jobs must be matched to those held by local residents.
7 Some municipalities have tied local hire and skilled and trained workforce policies to local development permits to address transportation issues. As Cervero and Duncan note:
In nearly bu ilt-out Berkeley, CA, the approach to balancing jobs and housing is to create local jobs rather than to d evelop new housing.” The

city’s First Source program encourages businesses to hire local residents, especially for entry- and intermediate-level jobs, and sponsors vocational training to ensure residents are employment -ready. While the program is voluntary, some 300 businesses have used it to date, placing more than 3,000 city residents in local jobs since it was launched in 1986. When needed, these carrots are matched by sticks, since the city is not shy about negotiating corporate participation in First Source as a condition of approval for development permits.
The City should consider requiring the utilization of skilled and trained workforce policies and requirements to benefit the local area economically and mitigate greenhouse gas, air quality and transportation impacts.

Subject: Local Hire Requirements and Considerations for Greenhouse Gas Modeling Dear Mr. Tsai,
Soil Water Air Protection Enterprise (“SWAPE”) is pleased to provide the following draft technical report explaining the significance of worker trips required for construction of land use development projects with respect to the estimation of greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions. The report will also discuss the potential for local hire requirements to reduce the length of worker trips, and consequently, reduced or mitigate the potential GHG impacts.
Worker Trips and Greenhouse Gas Calculations
The California Emissions Estimator Model (“CalEEMod”) is a “statewide land use emissions computer model designed to provide a uniform platform for government agencies, land use planners, and environmental professionals to quantify potential criteria pollutant and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with both construction and operations from a variety of land use projects.”1 CalEEMod quantifies construction-related emissions associated with land use projects resulting from off-road construction equipment; on-road mobile equipment associated with workers, vendors, and hauling; fugitive dust associated with grading, demolition, truck loading, and on-road vehicles traveling along paved and unpaved roads; and architectural coating activities; and paving.2
The number, length, and vehicle class of worker trips are utilized by CalEEMod to calculate emissions associated with the on-road vehicle trips required to transport workers to and from the Project site during construction.3

2 Specifically, the number and length of vehicle trips is utilized to estimate the vehicle miles travelled (“VMT”) associated with construction. Then, utilizing vehicle-class specific EMFAC 2014 emission factors, CalEEMod calculates the vehicle exhaust, evaporative, and dust emissions resulting from construction-related VMT, including personal vehicles for worker commuting.4
Specifically, in order to calculate VMT, CalEEMod multiplies the average daily trip rate by the average overall trip length (see excerpt below):
“VMTd = Σ(Average Daily Trip Rate i * Average Overall Trip Length i) n Where:
n = Number of land uses being modeled.”5
Furthermore, to calculate the on-road emissions associated with worker trips, CalEEMod utilizes the following equation (see excerpt below):
“Emissionspollutant = VMT * EFrunning,pollutant
Where:
Emissionspollutant = emissions from vehicle running for each pollutant VMT = vehicle miles traveled
EFrunning,pollutant = emission factor for running emissions.”6 Thus, there is a direct relationship between trip length and VMT, as well as a direct relationship between VMT and vehicle running emissions. In other words, when the trip length is increased, the VMT and vehicle running emissions increase as a result. Thus, vehicle running emissions can be reduced by decreasing the average overall trip length, by way of a local hire requirement or otherwise.
Default Worker Trip Parameters and Potential Local Hire Requirements As previously discussed, the number, length, and vehicle class of worker trips are utilized by CalEEMod to calculate emissions associated with the on-road vehicle trips required to transport workers to and from the Project site during construction.7 In order to understand how local hire requirements and associated worker trip length reductions impact GHG emissions calculations, it is important to consider the CalEEMod default worker trip parameters. CalEEMod provides recommended default values based on site-specific information, such as land use type, meteorological data, total lot acreage, project type and typical equipment associated with project type. If more specific project information is known, the user can change the default values and input project- specific values, but the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) requires that such changes be justified by substantial evidence.8 The default number of construction-related worker trips is calculated by multiplying the

3 number of pieces of equipment for all phases by 1.25, with the exception of worker trips required for the building construction and architectural coating phases.9 Furthermore, the worker trip vehicle class is a 50/25/25 percent mix of light duty autos, light duty truck class 1 and light duty truck class 2, respectively.”10 Finally, the default worker trip length is consistent with the length of the operational home-to-work vehicle trips.11 The operational home-to-work vehicle trip lengths are:
“[B]ased on the location and urbanization selected on the project characteristic screen. These values were supplied by the air districts or use a default average for the state. Each district (or county) also assigns trip lengths for urban and rural settings” (emphasis added). 12 Thus, the default worker trip length is based on the location and urbanization level selected by the User when modeling emissions. The below table shows the CalEEMod default rural and urban worker trip lengths by air basin (see excerpt below and Attachment A).13

4 As demonstrated above, default rural worker trip lengths for air basins in California vary from 10.8- to 19.8- miles, with an average of 16.47 miles. Furthermore, default urban worker trip lengths vary from 10.8- to 14.7- miles, with an average of 11.17 miles. Thus, while default worker trip lengths vary by location, default urban worker trip lengths tend to be shorter in length. Based on these trends evident in the CalEEMod default worker trip lengths, we can reasonably assume that the efficacy of a local hire requirement is especially dependent upon the urbanization of the project site, as well as the project location.
Practical Application of a Local Hire Requirement and Associated Impact To provide an example of the potential impact of a local hire provision on construction-related GHG emissions, we estimated the significance of a local hire provision for the Village South Specific Plan (“Project”) located in the City of Claremont (“City”). The Project proposed to construct 1,000 residential units, 100,000-SF of retail space, 45,000-SF of office space, as well as a 50-room hotel, on the 24-acre site. The Project location is classified as Urban and lies within the Los Angeles-South Coast County. As a result, the Project has a default worker trip length of 14.7 miles.14 In an effort to evaluate the potential for a local hire provision to reduce the Project’s construction-related GHG emissions, we prepared an updated model, reducing all worker trip lengths to 10 miles (see Attachment B). Our analysis estimates that if a local hire provision with a 10-mile radius were to be implemented, the GHG emissions associated with Project construction would decrease by approximately 17% (see table below and Attachment C).
Local Hire Provision Net Change
Without Local Hire Provision
Total Construction GHG Emissions (MT CO2e) 3,623
Amortized Construction GHG Emissions (MT CO2e/year) 120.77 With Local Hire Provision
Total Construction GHG Emissions (MT CO2e) 3,024
Amortized Construction GHG Emissions (MT CO2e/year) 100.80 % Decrease in Construction-related GHG Emissions 17%
As demonstrated above, by implementing a local hire provision requiring 10 mile worker trip lengths, the Project could reduce potential GHG emissions associated with construction worker trips. More broadly, any local hire requirement that results in a decreased worker trip length from the default value has the potential to result in a reduction of construction-related GHG emissions, though the significance of the reduction would vary based on the location and urbanization level of the project site.
This serves as an example of the potential impacts of local hire requirements on estimated project-level GHG emissions, though it does not indicate that local hire requirements would result in reduced construction-related GHG emission for all projects. As previously described, the significance of a local hire requirement depends on the worker trip length enforced and the default worker trip length for the project’s urbanization level and location.

Dear H.P. Kang:
RE: City of Hemet’s 6
th Cycle (2021-2029) Adopted Housing Element
Thank you for submitting the City of Hemet’s (City) housing element that was adopted January 25, 2022 and received for review on February 7, 2023. Pursuant to Government Code section 65585, subdivision (h), the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is reporting the results of its review. Our review was facilitated by a telephone conversation on March 14, 2023 with Bryant DeLaTorre, Monique Alaniz-Flejter, Dave Barquist and Ines Galmiche. In addition, HCD considered comments from David Kellogg pursuant to Government Code section 65585, subdivision (c).
The adopted housing element addresses some statutory requirements described in HCD’s April 8, 2022 review; however, additional revisions are necessary to substantially comply with State Housing Element Law (Article 10.6 of the Gov. Code). The enclosed Appendix describes the revisions needed to comply with State Housing Element Law.
As a reminder, the City’s 6th cycle housing element was due October 15, 2021. As of today, the City has not completed the housing element process for the 6th cycle. The City’s 5th cycle housing element no longer satisfies statutory requirements. HCD encourages the City to revise the element as described above, adopt, and submit to HCD to regain housing element compliance.
Pursuant to Assembly Bill 1398 (Chapter 358, Statutes of 2021), a jurisdiction that failed to adopt a compliant housing element within one year from the statutory deadline cannot be found in compliance until rezones to make prior identified sites available or accommodate a shortfall of sites pursuant to Government Code section 65583, subdivision (c)(1)(A) and Government Code section 65583.2, subdivision (c) are completed. As this year has passed and Programs H-3i (Use of Sites Identified in Previous RHNA Cycles and H-3n (Maintain Land Use and Zoning Consistency) have
12.C
H.P. Kang, Director
not been completed, the housing element is out of compliance and will remain out of compliance until the rezonings have been completed.
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 should continue to engage the community, including organizations that represent lower-income and special needs households, by making information regularly available and 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 Strategic Growth Council and HCD’s 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 will meet 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 the effort that your team provided throughout the housing element updater and review. We are committed to assist the City in addressing all statutory requirements of State Housing Element Law. If you have any questions or need additional technical assistance, please contact Chelsea Lee, of our staff, at [email protected]

Sincerely,
Paul McDougall

APPENDIX
CITY OF HEMET
The following changes are necessary to bring the City’s housing element into compliance with Article 10.6 of the Government Code. Accompanying each recommended change, we cite the supporting section of the Government Code.
Housing element technical assistance information is available on HCD’s website at http://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/housing-element/housing-element- memos.shtml. Among other resources, the housing element section contains HCD’s latest technical assistance tool, Building Blocks for Effective Housing Elements (Building Blocks), available at
http://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/building-blocks/index.shtml and includes the Government Code addressing State Housing Element Law and other resources.
A. Housing Needs, Resources, and Constraints
1. Affirmatively further[ing] fair housing in accordance with Chapter 15 (commencing with Section 8899.50) of Division 1 of Title 2…shall include an assessment of fair housing in the jurisdiction. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(10)(A).)
Fair Housing Outreach and Enforcement: In response to HCD’s prior reviews, the element now includes revisions describing the City’s code enforcement procedures and compliance with fair housing laws (pp. 3-50-3-52). However, HCD is aware that Ordinance No. 1870 on the City’s Residential Rental Registration and Crime-Free Rental Housing Program was determined by HUD to be in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and was subsequently repealed and discontinued in December 2020. As a result, the element should include discussion of any additional outreach or fair housing testing conducted since the program was rescinded and include programs as necessary to address persisting constraints on providing housing for all income levels throughout the community.
Racially/Ethnically Concentrated Areas of Poverty (R/ECAP): HCD’s prior reviews found data and mapping should be supplemented by local and regional data and knowledge and the element should specifically analyze the RECAP circumstance and conditions (e.g., housing, infrastructure, community amenities) on a neighborhood or tract level and evaluate patterns and changes over time, and consider other relevant factors such as public participation, past policies, practices, and investments and demographic trends. In response, the element now briefly describes housing as deteriorated with a concentration of mobile home parks and the area has experienced blighted conditions.
The element also mention the Downtown Specific Plan was intended to revitalize the area. However, given the importance of promoting equitable quality of life, the element should go beyond a brief and basic description of the RECAP. The element should include specific analysis to guide an appropriate programmatic response. The analysis should discuss the housing conditions, such as areas of higher need, housing types, effectiveness of past programs. The analysis should still discuss infrastructure, community amenities, parks, circulation and coincidence with other components of the
12.C
City of Hemet’s 6th Cycle Adopted Housing Element Page 2 April 3, 2023
fair housing assessment such as access to opportunities. The analysis should also discuss the broader blighted conditions, compare the neighborhood to other neighborhoods and the effectiveness of the Downtown Specific plan, including investments. Based on the outcomes of this analysis, the element should include specific policies and programs, including place-based strategies toward community revitalization.
Local Data and Knowledge: In response to HCD’s prior reviews, the element includes minimal discussion on economic conditions within specific census tracts of the City (pp. 3-53 and 3-61). However, additional information is required to address this finding from HCD’s prior reviews. HCD has provided sample analyses under separate cover to assist with revisions.
Other Relevant Factors: In response to HCD’s prior reviews, the element includes minimal revisions describing the City’s historical background and the impacts of COVID- 19 on economic development (pp. 3-53 and 3-61). These revisions do not otherwise address HCD’s finding from prior reviews. HCD has provided sample analyses under separate cover to assist with revisions.
Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) and Identified Sites: In response to HCD’s prior reviews, the element now analyzes sites in relationship to proximity to transit and amenities. (p. 3-114). However, these revisions do not otherwise address HCD’s findings from prior reviews. Firstly, 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 the assessment of fair housing (e.g., segregation and integration, access to opportunity). Secondly, the element must also address the observation that sites for lower-income households are concentrated in central areas of the City, whereas moderate and above-moderate households are concentrated almost exclusively in the peripheral areas of the City.
Lastly, the element should also discuss whether the distribution of sites improves or exacerbates conditions. If sites exacerbate conditions, the element should identify further program actions that will be taken to mitigate this (e.g., housing mobility, place- based and anti-displacement strategies).
2. An inventory of land suitable and available for residential development, including vacant sites and sites having realistic and demonstrated potential for redevelopment during the planning period to meet the locality’s housing need for a designated income level, and an analysis of the relationship of zoning and public facilities and services to these sites. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(3).)
Progress in Meeting the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA): The element includes revisions that note the affordability of pipeline projects was determined by the allowable density of each site (Table B-1). However, as noted in HCD’s prior reviews, to credit permitted units toward the regional housing need, the element must demonstrate affordability based on actual or projected sales prices, rent levels, or other mechanisms establishing affordability in the planning period.
12.C
City of Hemet’s 6th Cycle Adopted Housing Element Page 3 April 3, 2023
Realistic Capacity: In response to HCD’s prior reviews, the element now includes revisions that support its realistic capacity assumptions of 80 percent of maximum allowable density (pp. 3-115 and B4-7). However, the element was not revised to address the likelihood of residential development in zones that allow for 100 percent nonresidential uses (e.g., commercial, industrial). Please see HCD’s prior reviews for additional information.
Zoning for Lower-income Households: In response to HCD’s prior reviews, the element includes revisions to Program H-3n (Maintain Land Use and Zoning Consistency) that identify amendments to the General Plan will be required to address zoning inconsistencies identified between the MDR General Plan and R-3 zoning designations.
However, it is unclear whether the General Plan amendments will allow for higher densities on these sites, or if rezoning is also required to address the zoning inconsistencies. If rezoning is required, the element must include a program to rezone these sites pursuant to the requirements of Government Code section 65583.2, subdivisions (h) and (i).
Environmental Constraints: In response to HCD’s prior reviews, the element states there are no constraints that preclude development on sites identified in the inventory (p. 3-39). However, as noted in prior reviews, the element should still address whether there are any other conditions that preclude development in the planning period such as easements, parcel shapes, and contamination.
Electronic Sites Inventory: Pursuant to Government Code section 65583.3, subdivision (b), the City must utilize standards, forms, and definitions adopted by HCD when preparing the sites inventory. 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. Please note, 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].
Zoning for a Variety of Housing Types (Emergency Shelters): The element includes revisions to Program H-1i (Zoning for Emergency Shelters) that commits the City to amend its zoning for emergency shelters within 12 months of housing element adoption.
For your information, as noted in HCD’s prior review, the City does not have a zone to permit emergency shelters without discretionary action and HCD cannot find the element in compliance until the appropriate zoning is available.
In addition, and for your information, Chapter 654, Statutes of 2022 (AB 2339), adds specificity on how cities and counties plan for emergency shelters and ensure sufficient and suitable capacity. Future submittals of the housing element may need to address these statutory requirements. For additional information and timing requirements, please see HCD’s memo at

3. An analysis of potential and actual governmental constraints upon the maintenance, improvement, or development of housing for all income levels, including the types of housing identified in paragraph (1) of subdivision (c), and for persons with disabilities as identified in the analysis pursuant to paragraph (7), including land use controls, building codes and their enforcement, site improvements, fees and other exactions required of developers, and local processing and permit procedures... (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(5).)
Local Processing and Permit Procedures: In response to HCD’s prior reviews, the element now includes some revisions further describing the Design Review Committee (DRC) procedures (pp. 3-32-33). These revisions note that disagreement between DRC members or public request can trigger public hearings but should also evaluate the impacts of a potentially arbitrary trigger as a constraint on housing development, particularly approval certainty. In addition, the element must still identify and analyze approval findings for their impacts as potential constraints on housing. Finally, the element should address public comments on this revised draft submittal and discuss compliance with the Permit Streamlining Act and intersections with CEQA and timing requirements, including streamlining determinations and add or modify programs as appropriate.
Housing for Persons with Disabilities:
• Reasonable Accommodation: HCD’s prior reviews identified provisions relating to reasonable accommodation procedures as significant constraints on persons with disabilities. In response, the element adds discussion of processes for minor and major reasonable accommodation requests. The element describes findings for minor requests related to “significant controversy or extraordinary circumstances” and indicates that although the Director is authorized to approve requests, the Planning Commission also has discretion to approve, conditionally approve, or deny a reasonable accommodation application (pp. 3-20-21). This information further supports HCD’s finding that these processes are subjective and present significant constraints on persons with disabilities. As a result, the element must be revised to address this constraint and add a program to address and modify or remove the constraints.
• Group Homes: The element includes revisions that clarify the City’s Small Group Homes Permit (SGHP) processes for small group homes (pp. 3-16-17) but did not analyze the Administrative Use Permit (AUP) process for group homes as a potential constraint on persons with disabilities. Zoning and standards should simply implement a barrier-free definition of family instead of subjecting, potentially persons with disabilities, to special regulations. Zoning code regulations that isolate and regulate various types of housing for persons with disabilities based on the number of people and other factors may pose a constraint on housing choice for persons with disabilities. The element should include specific analysis of these and any other constraints for impacts on housing for persons with disabilities and add or modify programs as appropriate.

4. An analysis of potential and actual nongovernmental constraints upon the maintenance, improvement, or development of housing for all income levels, including the availability of financing, the price of land, the cost of construction, the requests to develop housing at densities below those anticipated in the analysis required by subdivision (c) of Government Code section 65583.2, and the length of time between receiving approval for a housing development and submittal of an application for building permits for that housing development that hinder the construction of a locality’s share of the regional housing need in accordance with Government Code section 65584. The analysis shall also demonstrate local efforts to remove nongovernmental constraints that create a gap between the locality’s planning for the development of housing for all income levels and the construction of that housing. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(6).)
Identified Densities and Approval Times: In response to HCD’s prior reviews, the element now describes that the length of time between approval and application for building permit is out of the City’s control. However, the City can influence that length of time and as a result should still examine the length of time between approval and application of building permit. In addition, the element was not revised to address the observation that project applications rarely achieve maximum densities. Please see HCD’s prior review for additional information.
B. Housing Programs
1. Identify actions that will be taken to make sites available during the planning period with appropriate zoning and development standards and with services and facilities to accommodate that portion of the city’s or county’s share of the regional housing need for each income level that could not be accommodated on sites identified in the inventory completed pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) without rezoning, and to comply with the requirements of Government Code section 65584.09. Sites shall be identified as needed to facilitate and encourage the development of a variety of types of housing for all income levels, including multifamily rental housing, factory-built housing, mobilehomes, housing for agricultural employees, supportive housing, single-room occupancy units, emergency shelters, and transitional housing. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(1).)
As noted in Finding A2, 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 must also include a program that encourages the development of housing affordable to lower-income households on large sites (greater than 10
12.C
City of Hemet’s 6th Cycle Adopted Housing Element Page 6 April 3, 2023
acres). For example, the program could establish incentives to facilitate parceling at appropriate sizes, prioritize funding and assist applicants with entitlements.
2. Address and, where appropriate and legally possible, remove governmental and nongovernmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing, including housing for all income levels and housing for persons with disabilities. The program shall remove constraints to, and provide reasonable accommodations for housing designed for, intended for occupancy by, or with supportive services for, persons with disabilities. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(3).)
As noted in Findings A3 and A4, the element requires a complete analysis of potential governmental and nongovernmental constraints. Depending upon the results of that analysis, the City may need to revise or add programs and address and remove or mitigate any identified constraints.
Land Use Controls: In response to HCD’s prior reviews, the element includes some revisions to Programs H-2g (Parking Standards for Residential Developments), H-3g (Monitoring Potential Constraints) and H-3l (Annual Review of Site Requirements) but additional revisions are required to address this finding. Specifically, Program H-3l notes that parking standards and lot requirements will be addressed in Program H-2g (Parking Standards for Residential Developments). While Program H-2g addressed parking constraints, no revisions were found in regard to lot size requirements. In addition, revisions to Program H-3g do not commit the City to removing constraints and should be revised.
3. Promote and affirmatively further fair housing opportunities and promote housing throughout the community or communities for all persons regardless of race, religion, sex, marital status, ancestry, national origin, color, familial status, or disability, and other characteristics... (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(5).)
Goals, Actions, Metrics, and Milestones: In response to HCD’s prior reviews, the element includes some revisions to Program H-1a (Implement Fair Housing Laws).
However, many of these actions are still limited to conducting outreach and do not appear to facilitate any meaningful change nor address affirmatively furthering fair housing requirements. Given that the City identifies two R/ECAPs within its boundaries and most of the City is considered a low and moderate resource community, the element should focus on programs that center on place-based strategies for economic and community revitalization, protecting residents from income-driven displacement, and enhancing housing mobility to encourage the development of more housing choices and affordability across more geographies within the City. Programs also should be based on identified contributing factors and be significant and meaningful. The element must add, and revise programs based on a complete analysis. Further, the element must include specific commitment, geographic targeting, and metrics and milestones toward AFFH outcomes. For more information, please see HCD’s guidance at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/planning-an

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:
Receive and file the Quarterly Grant Report for the period ending September 30, 2023.
BACKGROUND:
This report covers grant activity for the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2023 -24, the period ending September 30, 2023.
DISCUSSION:
GRANTS IN DEVELOPMENT:
The 2023 Whale Tail grant with the California Coastal Commission is open, and the Public Works Department, in collaboration with the Library, is working on re-submitting a revamped grant application.
The grant application is for a water conservation progra m at the Public Library. The grant is due on November 6, 2023.
GRANTS SUBMITTED:
A Notice of Intent was submitted for the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) grant with the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) on August 18, 2023. The purpose was to request funding for mobile and stationary emergency backup generators for the Fire Department and Public Works Water Division. CalOES stated the request was not a good fit for BRIC; however, they would allow the City to resubmit a Notice of Intent for the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP).

GRANTS AWARDED:
The City received funding from four grants in the past quarter as summarized below. The most significant grant received as a $2.5 million Organized Retail Theft Prevention grant from the State of California. The Hemet Police Department designed a holistic approach to address this issue which includes elements related to education and prevention, detection, and apprehension, combined with diversion where appropriate, and prosecution, when necessary of those involved in organized retail theft. Staff also sec ured commitments from local businesses and the Riverside County District Attorney's Office that they would work with the Hemet Police Department in their efforts to reduce incidents of organized retail theft.
Additionally, the County of Riverside was awarded a $12 million grant from the State of California's Encampment Resolution Funding (ERF) Program. This substantial grant, the second largest received in the State, will be utilized to provide housing, street outreach, and wrap-around services to address the issue of homelessness in and around the San Jacinto Riverbed. In collaboration with District 5 Supervisor Yxstian Gutiérrez and the cities of San Jacinto and Hemet, the grant will focus on tackling homelessness head-on and making a tangible difference in the lives of those affected. These services will include mental health support, substance abuse counseling, workforce connections, and other essential resources to uplift individuals experiencing homelessness and empower them on their journey to stability and self-sufficiency. The City's allocation is $682,752.50.

GRANT RELINQUISHED:
Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill 1603 (Chapter 735, Statutes of 2019), also known as the Break the Cycle of Violence Act, on October 11, 2019. The act was meant to “improve public health and safety by supporting effective violence reduction initiatives in communities disproportionately impacted by violence, particularly group -member-involved homicides, shootings, and aggravated assaults.” As a result, the California Violence Intervention and Prevention (CalVIP) Grant Program in Fiscal Year (FY) 2017-18 was introduced, with the Board of State and Community Corrections (BCSS) assigned as the administrating body. The CalVIP Grant Program’s purpose is to provide funding for cities seeking to reduce violence in the city and adjacent areas.
On February 8, 2022, the City Council approved the proposal to apply for the BSCC CalVIP grant for $963,573.00. An application was submitted on February 10, 2022. A contract between the City of Hemet and BSCC was signed with a time frame of July 1, 2022 to December 31, 2025. It was the understanding at the time of the application submission that it would be a 50 -50 match grant that also required comprehensive, evidence-based, data-driven, collaborated intervention strategies to reduce violence citywide while minimizing the long-term risk of involvement in violence.
The initiators of the CalVIP Grant application, the technical advisor and the former City Manager, led the process. Due to their departure, pertinent information regarding this grant was lost. It was later found that the match was more than 50% (at $1,160,155), and the City budget did not support such a significant match amount. As a result of the match exceeding the City Budget, The California Violence Intervention and Prevention (CalVIP) Grant for $963,573 will need to be relinquished back to the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC).

California Violence Intervention and Prevention Grant (CalVIP) $963,573
