Page 497 of 1245 Page | 73 Appendix D: Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Analysis While the City provides many resources related to Fair Housing, the City is committed to affirmatively further fair housing and has updated Program 6 of the 6th Cycle Housing Element in response the findings in this analysis. Through Program 6 the City will continue to report annually on the City’s progress toward its 8-year RHNA housing production target and toward the implementation of the programs identified to the legislative body. The City will also use this setting to hold an annual housing forum for the discussion of the City’s progress towards the goals of the Housing Element, with additional focus on raising fair housing awareness. The housing forum will provide a platform where decision makers, members of the public, the development community, and other interested parties can work to elevate the discussion surrounding housing needs and solutions. Other programs of the Housing Element focused on addressing fair housing include the following:
• Program 1 increases opportunities for increased accessibility in housing units for those with a disability.
• Program 4 lays out objectives for increasing homeownership opportunities for lower -income households.
• Program 5 commits the City to continued analysis of fair housing and increasing informational resources for those seeking fair housing assistance.
• Program 7 facilitates the production of housing in areas with access to opportunity to positive health, economic, and educational outcomes.
• Program 10 aims to reduce the cost associated with the development of affordable housing. • Program 11 further incentivize s housing product ion while evaluating the feasibility of an inclusionary housing fee to increase funding for affordable housing. • Program 12 provides a permit streamlining program for qualifying developments that provide affordable housing.
• Program 13 clarifies language wit hin the City’s Zoning Code to increase opportunities for employee housing.
• Program 16 increases information for those in need of fair housing mediation. • Other programs of the Housing Element work to focus resources and planning efforts in areas of opportunity (Programs 33, 35, and 37).

AGENDA ITEM #10.1
Revised Resolution No. 10254 re-approving the revised version of Housing... Page 501 of 1245 Page | 1 City of Indio Appendix E: Sites Analysis and Inventory 1 Introduction
As provided under California State law (Government Code Section 65583 [a][3]), a General Plan Housing Element must include an inventory of land suitable for residential development, including vacant sites that can be developed for housing within the planning period and non-vacant sites that have realistic and demonstrated potential for redevelopment during the planning period to meet the local housing need at all income levels. As further detailed in the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) discussion in Section 2, every local jurisdiction is assigned a number of housing units representing its share of the State’s housing needs for an 8-year period. The housing need of the City of Indio (City) for the 6th Cycle 8-year planning period (October 15, 2021– October 15, 2029) (6th Cycle) consists of 7,812 total units, including housing for all income levels, which are subdivided by levels of affordability as follows: 2,963 lower-income units (including 1,793 very low-income units and 1,170 low-income units), 1,315 moderate-income units, and 3,534 above moderate-income units.
This appendix (Sites Analysis and Inventory) of the Housing Element describes the City’s housing target for the 6th Cycle RHNA projection period (June 30, 2021, through October 31, 2029) (planning period), known as the RHNA; the methodology by which realistic development capacity was determined; and the approach used for the identification of sites. An overview of the existing capacity in the City is also provided, including an analysis of vacant and underutilized sites where housing is currently an allowed use at appropriate densities; residential projects in the pipeline with approved or pending residential units that are anticipated in the planning period or projects with remaining entitlements, including approved or anticipated affordability for the units in each project; and the projection of accessory dwelling units anticipated for the planning period. The remainder of the RHNA is accommodated by sites that will be rezoned to accommodate higher density housing development. See Table I, Summary of RHNA Strategies, for an overview of strategies that the City will use to accommodate the RHNA during 6th Cycle planning period.

1. The City has a RHNA of 1,793 very low-income units. Pursuant to State law (AB 2634), 50% of the very low-income units are assumed to be extremely low- income. Therefore, the City’s RHNA of 2,963 lower-income units may be divided into 896 extremely low-income units, 897 very low-income units, and 1,170 low- income units. However, for the purposes of identifying adequate sites for the RHNA, the State law does not mandate the separate accounting of units for extremely low-income households.
2. For sites that are identified in the Sites Inventory and the rezoning program to meet the lower-income RHNA, it is assumed that 50% of the realistic capacity of a site counts toward the low-income RHNA, and 50% of realistic capacity counts toward the very-low income RHNA.
3.The total of 1,608 moderate-income units does not include the 632 units identified as existing capacity, it only includes the 29 projected ADU’s and 1,579 units after rezoning because all of the parcels with existing capacity (632 units) will be rezoned and their new realistic capacity was already accounted for in the new realistic capacity of 1,579 moderate-income units.
AGENDA ITEM #10.1
Revised Resolution No. 10254 re-approving the revised version of Housing... Page 502 of 1245 Page | 2 City of Indio Appendix E: Sites Analysis and Inventory 2 Regional Housing Needs Allocation
Pursuant to State law, each jurisdiction in the State has a responsibility to accommodate a share of the projected housing needs in its region. The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) assesses each region’s housing needs and allocates a unit count (the RHNA) to each region in the State. The 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 need for housing within each jurisdiction during specified planning periods.
As part of the assessment and allocation process, each council of governments develops a methodology to determine each jurisdiction’s RHNA as a share of the regional housing need provided by HCD. Each jurisdiction’s RHNA is broken down by income category, ensuring that all economic groups are accommodated. The methodology generally distributes more housing, particularly lower-income housing, near jobs, transit, and resources linked to long-term improvements of life outcomes, and must further State objectives, including affirmatively furthering fair housing.
The City’s share of regional housing need was determined by a methodology prepared by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) as part of its Final Regional Housing Needs Assessment Allocation Plan, adopted in March 2021 and updated in June 2021. In accordance with the Final RHNA Allocation Plan, the City must plan to accommodate 7,812 total housing units for the projection period beginning June 30, 2021, and ending October 15, 2029. This is equal to a yearly average of approximately 942 housing units. The 7,812 total units are split into four RHNA income categories (very low-, low-, moderate-, and above moderate-income). Table 1 provides the City’s RHNA by income category. Of the 7,812 total units, the City must plan to accommodate 1,793 units for very low-income households, 1,170 units for low-income households, 1,315 units for moderate-income households, and 3,534 units for above moderate-income households from 2021 to 2029.
Table 1. City of Indio RHNA 2021–2029
Income Category Units Percent of Total
Very Low-Income 1,793 23.0%
Low-Income 1,170 15.0%
Moderate-Income 1,315 16.8%
Above Moderate-Income 3,534 45.2%
Total 7,812 100%
To ensure that adequate capacity is maintained in the City throughout the 6th Cycle, additional capacity above and beyond the RHNA assigned to the City has been identified. In accordance with State requirements, the City will monitor the housing capacity identified in this Sites Inventory throughout the planning period to maintain sufficient capacity for the remaining RHNA at all income levels. As provided in Table I, and further detailed in this Sites Analysis, the City has a total existing capacity for 677 lower- income units, 661 moderate-income units, and 9,859 above moderate-income units within 1) residential pipeline of projects; 2) through the projected number of ADUs and JADUs; and 3) vacant and underutilized sites with existing capacity.
AGENDA ITEM #10.1
Revised Resolution No. 10254 re-approving the revised version of Housing... Page 503 of 1245 Page | 3 City of Indio Appendix E: Sites Analysis and Inventory To address the shortfall of sites, the City is currently in the process of updating its Zoning Ordinance (Zoning Code) as of November 2021. The rezoned sites will provide an additional capacity of 3,160 lower-income units and a new total capacity of 1,579 moderate-income units. Program 33, Sites Inventory Zoning Update Program, of the Housing Element commits the City to adopt the updated Zoning Ordinance within a year of Housing Element adoption to provide adequate capacity throughout the planning period. Under the updated Zoning Code, the City will have a surplus of 874 lower-income units and 293 moderate-income units to serve as a generous buffer beyond what is required. See additional details in Section 5, Summary of Capacity to Accommodate the RHNA. 3 Vacant and Underutilized Sites Methodology and
Assumptions
State law requires each jurisdiction to include a land inventory to identify specific sites that are suitable for residential development and to demonstrate that sufficient land is available to provide adequate housing capacity to meet the RHNA for each income level. This section of the Sites Analysis describes the methodology used to calculate the housing capacity on all vacant and non-vacant developable land within City limits that will be zoned or rezoned to allow for housing and available to develop within the 6th Cycle Housing Element planning period.
3.1 Process Overview
As part of the Sites Analysis, the City and consulting team identified specific sites that are suitable for residential development to determine whether there are sufficient sites to accommodate the City’s regional housing need in total and by income category. This analysis helped the City determine the programs that the City will adopt to make sites available with appropriate zoning, development standards, and infrastructure capacity to accommodate the new construction needed during the 6th Cycle (see complete infrastructure capacity discussion in the Housing Element’s Appendix C, Constraints and Zoning Analysis).
The Sites Analysis was completed using geographic information system (GIS) mapping software using multiple data sets to identify potentially available housing sites, largely depending on SCAG’s annual land use parcel-level dataset (ALU v.2019.2) available from SCAG’s open GIS data portal (last updated in June 2021). SCAG’s land use dataset provides extensive parcel-level data, including existing land uses, principally based on 2019 tax assessor records.1 In addition, online mapping tools, including Google Earth and Google Maps, as well as City knowledge of the current projects in the pipeline and development interest in certain areas of the City, were used to verify vacant and underutilized status and existing uses.
With the large quantities of vacant land that exist in the City, the Sites Analysis largely depends on those vacant sites within City limits that permit for residential development under their existing General Plan land use designation and that will be rezoned and made available during the planning period. However, a small number of sites identified in the Sites Inventory are on non-vacant, underutilized parcels.

AGENDA ITEM #10.1
Revised Resolution No. 10254 re-approving the revised version of Housing... Page 504 of 1245 Page | 4 City of Indio Appendix E: Sites Analysis and Inventory Determining which non-vacant sites are underutilized and have the strongest potential for redevelopment can help identify ideal areas for accommodating new housing through redevelopment.
Underutilized sites are identified through thorough and selective criteria to determine which existing uses are most likely to redevelop when paired with the right land use designation, regulations, and policies.
Under State law, if a housing element relies on nonvacant sites to accommodate 50 percent or more of its RHNA for lower-income households, the nonvacant site’s existing use is presumed to impede additional residential development, unless the housing element describes findings based on substantial evidence that the use will likely be discontinued during the planning period. While this does not apply, as the large majority of parcels identified in this Sites Analysis are on vacant land, the analysis provides clear evidence that the existing uses on the sites identified to be underutilized are not considered an impediment to future development as the majority of the sites are currently empty grass or dirt lots, large surface parking lots, or concrete lots without existing structures, and are owned by the City or Housing Authority. Only four of the total parcels identified as underutilized in this Sites Analysis have existing structures, and three of those structures are vacant. See Sections 4.1.2, Midtown (MT), and
4.1.3, Downtown (DT), for additional details. As part of this identification process, an analysis of underutilized sites was conducted to determine where to prioritize Housing Element programs that aim to increase opportunities for housing development. In addition to analyzing the existing uses and proximity to resources and existing infrastructure on each parcel, the methodology for identifying and prioritizing underutilized sites was largely based on the following factors:
• Existing Use – No existing structures, or existing structure is a vacant building • Publicly Owned – Publicly owned surplus land, and/or owned by the City or Housing Authority • Building Age – Buildings built prior to 1981 (most sites identified are older than 40 years) • Under Valued – An assessed improvement-to-land-value ratio less than 1 • Site Size – Parcel greater than 0.5 acres or less than 10 acres, or smaller parcels with the potential for lot consolidation resulting in a site greater than 0.5 acres None of the underutilized sites are known to have been occupied in the past 5 years by lower-income housing. All parcels included in the Sites Inventory were reviewed for any known environmental constraints; the sites included in the inventory have all been designated for residential development and are not constrained by known site-specific constraints that would limit development. Parcels that were identified as having absolute constraints2 were removed from the inventory. Land suitable for residential development must be appropriate and available for residential use in the planning period. As such, the sites were also reviewed according to their development standards and regulations, and to recently approved or built residential projects in the same designations where housing is an allowed use.
2 Per Connect SoCal’s Sustainable Communities Strategy Technical Report’s (adopted September 3, 2020) areas that include absolute constraints are identified to avoid placement of future growth, such as preserved land where growth has been reduced and redirected, as well as variable constraints where growth could be avoided if possible.

3.2 Density and Affordability Assumptions
Every city in California must have a General Plan that establishes policy guidelines for all development within the city. The General Plan is the foundation of all land use controls in a jurisdiction. The Land Use Element of the City’s General Plan identifies the location, distribution, and density of the land uses within the City. General Plan residential densities are expressed in dwelling units per acre. The Indio General Plan 2040 was adopted in September 2019 and has brought forth a new creative strategy for meeting the future needs of the City through land use designations that permit a broad mix of uses. The Land Use Element of the General Plan identifies land use designations called “place types” that are classified by major classes: Neighborhoods, Centers, and Districts. Each Neighborhood, Center, and District contains a mix of uses and provides guidance related to scale and intensity, density, and form and placement of development. Both Centers and Neighborhoods permit residential uses. As of November 2021, the City is currently in the process of updating its Zoning Ordinance to be consistent with the Indio General Plan 2040. As detailed in Programs 33, Sites Inventory Zoning Update Program, and 37, Zoning Code Updates for the Removal of Constraints, of the Housing Element, the updated zoning regulations, which will be adopted mid-2022, will implement the 2040 General Plan, including the allowed densities and uses. As such, with the exception of sites identified in Downtown Indio, which already have the zoning in place through the Downtown Specific plan adopted in April 2020 (see additional details in Section 4.1.3, Downtown (DT)), the Sites Analysis relied on the existing 2040 General Plan land use designations, which will be consistent with the updated Zoning Code.
Government Code Section 65583.2(c) requires, as part of the analysis of available sites, a local government to demonstrate that the projected residential development capacity of the sites identified in the Housing Element can realistically be achieved. This realistic capacity may use established minimum densities to calculate the housing unit capacity. The Sites Analysis estimated realistic capacity, as shown in Table 2. As a conservative estimate of capacity calculations, the minimum permitted density of 20 dwelling units per acre was used for all sites identified to accommodate the City’s lower-income RHNA. As included in Program 33 of the Housing Element, rezoned sites identified in the Mixed Use Neighborhood and Midtown designations will accommodate the shortfall of lower-income units. The sites rezoned to accommodate the lower-income shortfall will permit a minimum of 20 dwelling units per acre and will allow a maximum density of 40 dwelling units per acre, require residential use to occupy at least 50 percent of the floor area in a mixed-use project, and allow 100 percent residential use, in accordance with the requirements of Government Code Section 65583.2. Therefore, the realistic density was calculated at the minimum 20 dwelling units per acre for the Mixed Use Neighborhood and Midtown designations to account for potential commercial components.
For the existing Downtown Specific Plan area, the maximum density permitted is currently 60 dwelling units per acre, in accordance with the Downtown (DT) land use designation. Although affordable developments in the City serve as examples of affordable projects built at higher densities, such as the approved densities for Phase I and Phase II of the Arroyo Crossing project (a mixed-use affordable housing project in the pipeline discussed in Section 4.2, Planned, Approved, and Prospective Projects providing extremely low-, very low-, and low-income units) of approximately 30 and 27.5 dwelling units per acre, the realistic capacity for sites identified in the Downtown used a very conservative approach.
To account for commercial components, the realistic capacity assumed 33 percent of the maximum density for sites in the Downtown zone, and the realistic capacity was conservatively calculated at 20 dwelling units per acre, in line with the Mixed Use Neighborhood and Midtown realistic density assumptions.
AGENDA ITEM #10.1
Revised Resolution No. 10254 re-approving the revised version of Housing... Page 506 of 1245 Page | 6 City of Indio Appendix E: Sites Analysis and Inventory Sites identified to accommodate the City’s moderate-income RHNA have been calculated based off the minimum and maximum permitted densities in the corresponding land use designation, and the density ranges that will be adopted in their corresponding zoning regulations under the updated Zoning Code.
The Suburban Neighborhood designation allows for a maximum density of eight dwelling units per acre.
The realistic capacity conservatively estimated 50 percent of the maximum density at a density of 4 dwelling units per acre. The Neighborhood Center allows for a density range of 10 to 20 dwelling units per acre. The realistic capacity conservatively estimated 50 percent of the maximum density at a density of 10 dwelling units per acre. The Connected Neighborhood zone will allow a density range of 8 to 20 dwelling units per acre. While a small portion of the Connected Neighborhood zone will allow mixed uses, the majority of the zone will require standalone residential and not permit commercial uses. A majority of the zone will require standalone residential, and not permit commercial. The realistic capacity conservatively estimated 50 percent of the permitted density range at a density of 14 dwelling units per acre. This does not limit the ability of a project to be built at the higher densities allowed under either the zoning or the General Plan, and several existing or recently approved development projects have been developed at densities above the minimum permitted density in the corresponding zone.
Furthermore, it is expected that property owners will strive for densities far above the minimums, assuming developers can earn greater profits for construction on the same parcel of land. Sites identified to accommodate the City’s above moderate-income RHNA have been calculated based on their presumed or approved densities, as detailed in the overview of residential development in the pipeline in Section 4.2, Planned, Approved, and Prospective Projects.

3.2.1 Lower-Income Sites
In accordance with Housing Element law (Government Code Section 65583.2[c][3]), the City’s default density for lower-income sites must permit a minimum of 30 dwelling units per acre. Further, it is detailed under State guidance that sites that are too small or too large (less than 0.5 acres or greater than 10 acres) may not facilitate developments affordable to lower-income households. However, parcels less than 0.5 acres may be included if there is the potential for combining small lots into larger single sites to accommodate higher-density development through lot consolidation. As such, sites included in the lower-income sites inventory with only one parcel have been limited to parcels between
0.5 and 10 acres. However, parcels identified in the Downtown area that are individually less than 0.5 acres but are reasonably expected to be consolidated with other parcels into a single site have been
AGENDA ITEM #10.1

These parcels have been identified as part of sites with two or more parcels that together are greater than 0.5 acres and are rendered suitable for consolidation into one single site. The City will incentivize lot consolidation through Program 11, Development Incentives and Programs, of the Housing Element. See Section 4.1.3, Downtown (DT), for an analysis related to parcels anticipated to be consolidated, which provides evidence to demonstrate that development of housing affordable to lower-income households on these sites is realistic or feasible.
The City has three land use designations that permit densities of 30 dwelling units per acre or greater:
Mixed Use Neighborhood (MUN), Midtown (MT), and Downtown (DT) designations. Sites identified in these three designations, excluding those in the pipeline, were included in the Sites Inventory as lower- income sites.
3.2.2 Moderate-Income Sites
Large amounts of vacant land in the Suburban Neighborhoods (SN), Neighborhood Center (NC), and Connected Neighborhood (CN) designations exist in the City. All three designations provide opportunities for a range of housing choices at medium densities. As such, all sites identified within the designations were inventoried at the moderate-income level. While sites identified to accommodate moderate-income units may be less than 0.5 acres, all vacant sites identified in these three designations have been limited to those between 0.5 and 10 acres, with the exception of one site (Site 158O in Table 16, Sites Inventory Table) in the CN designation. This site is comprised of three congruent parcels reasonably anticipated to be consolidated as all three are vacant, surplus land owned by the City. Two of the parcels in Site 158O are less than 0.5 acres, but together, the consolidated site is approximately two acres.
3.2.3 Above Moderate-Income Sites
Indio has a significant number of development projects in the pipeline that are seeking entitlements or are actively pursuing construction. Sites with remaining entitlements for above moderate-income units in the pipeline were identified as having the capacity to accommodate the above moderate-income allocation based on the affordability and unit count of the development.
3.3 Sites Identified in Previous Housing Elements
Per Government Code Section 65583.2(c), a non-vacant parcel identified in a previous planning period and a vacant parcel that has been included in two or more previous consecutive planning periods cannot be used to accommodate the lower-income RHNA unless the parcel is subject to a program in the Housing Element to allow residential use by-right for housing developments in which at least 20 percent of the units are affordable to lower-income households.
Eight of the underutilized parcels identified in the Sites Inventory for lower-income housing were included in a previous Housing Element, and 28 of the vacant parcels included in the inventory for lower-income housing have been included in the two previous Housing Element planning periods (see Section 5 for individual site and parcel details). Housing Element Program 7 commits the City to allowing residential use by-right on these sites, as identified in Exhibit A, Housing Element Electronic Sites Inventory Form, or Table 16, Sites Inventory Table, for housing developments in which at least 20 percent of the units are affordable to lower-income households. The City has 3 years from the beginning of the planning period to implement this policy. Refer to Exhibit A, or to the first column in Table 16, Sites Inventory Table, which indicates if a parcel has been previously identified.

The following is a description of the residential capacity on vacant and underutilized sites within each land use designation permitting residential uses. Figure 1, Sites Inventory and Land Use Capacity by Land Use Designation, provides an overview of the existing capacity identified in the Sites Inventory and the City’s 2040 General Plan land use designation. The vacant and underutilized sites identified in Figure 1 are the vacant and nonvacant sites that have been included in the Sites Inventory; it is not a comprehensive inventory of all vacant and underutilized sites in the City.
4.1 Capacity by Land Use Designation
National trends in the shifting retail market are reflected in a shift toward residential and mixed uses on commercially zoned sites. It is reasonable for the City to expect to see these trends continue on a local level. Per the Indio General Plan 2040 adopted in September 2019, the City currently allows standalone, multi-unit residential development as a use permitted by-right in most mixed-use designations throughout the City, including in the Neighborhood Center (NC), Connected Neighborhood (CN), Midtown (MT), and Downtown (DT) designations. Therefore, the City assumes that many of the identified sites may be developed as purely residential projects at densities far above the minimum densities and the assumptions used to calculate the realistic capacity. Furthermore, the vast majority of sites identified are located on vacant sites, and therefore do not have existing uses constituting an impediment to additional residential development during the 6th Cycle.
In addition, as of July 2021, the City is working on the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan (Highway 111 Specific Plan), a strategic action plan for the future revitalization of 3.9 miles of Highway 111 between Indio Boulevard and Jefferson Street. The Highway 111 Specific Plan, which is expected to be adopted in 2022, will replace two existing Specific Plans that apply to certain properties in the Corridor: the Central Highway 111 Specific Plan and the Mixed-Use Specific Plan 300. One of the Highway 111 Specific Plan’s key planning goals is to create strategies for the production of a minimum of 500 new housing units within the Corridor, including market-rate and affordable and workforce housing. The Corridor is largely located along the Mixed Use Neighborhood (MUN) and Midtown (MT) land use designations. As such, implementation of the Highway 111 Specific Plan is anticipated to promote and facilitate development of housing in both designations.
Lower-Income Sites (Refer to Sections 4.1.1 through 4.1.4 for details) As of November 2021, the City’s current Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 159, Zoning Regulations of the City’s Municipal Code) permits or conditionally permits multifamily housing in limited zones throughout the City (see full details in Appendix C of the Housing Element). With the exception of the Downtown Indio Specific Plan, where multifamily housing is an allowed use in the City, the maximum densities permitted by the current Zoning Ordinance pose a constraint to the development of housing in accordance with Housing Element law (Government Code Section 65583.2[c][3]), which requires that the City’s default density for lower-income sites permit a minimum of 30 dwelling units per acre. As such, the sites inventory could only identify existing capacity for vacant and underutilized sites within the Downtown area, as discussed in Section 4.1.3, Downtown (DT). However, as previously mentioned, the Indio General Plan 2040 was adopted in September 2019. The 2040 General Plan permits densities that may facilitate development of housing affordable to lower-income households as show in Table 2, and as of November 2021, the City is currently in the process of updating its Zoning Ordinance to be consistent

Revised Resolution No. 10254 re-approving the revised version of Housing... Page 509 of 1245 Page | 9 City of Indio Appendix E: Sites Analysis and Inventory with the Indio General Plan 2040. As detailed in Program 33, Sites Inventory Zoning Update Program, and Program 37, Zoning Code Updates for the Removal of Constraints, of the Housing Element, the updated zoning regulations, which will be adopted mid-2022, will implement the 2040 General Plan. This will include the allowed densities and uses under the 2040 General Plan, ensuring that densities are achievable under the newly formed standards of the updated Zoning Code. As such, the Sites Analysis relied on the existing 2040 General Plan land use designations, which will be consistent with the updated Zoning Code. Therefore, the capacity identified in Sections 4.1.1, Mixed Use Neighborhoods (MUN), and 4.1.2, Midtown (MT), will be available to address the lower-income shortfall following the adoption of the updated Zoning Ordinance (see Section 5.2.1, Lower-Income Shortfall Addressed, for a full breakdown of capacity).
Moderate-Income Sites (Refer to Sections 4.1.5 through 4.1.8 for details) Under the City’s current Zoning regulation and corresponding densities, there is limited existing capacity for development appropriate to accommodate moderate-income housing. Some of the parcels identified to accommodate moderate-income units in Sections 4.1.5, Suburban Neighborhoods (SN), and 4.1.7, Connected Neighborhood (CN), have existing capacity under their existing zones (current zoning can be found in Exhibit A) appropriate to accommodate moderate-income housing and have been identified with an existing capacity of 632 units. However, all of these parcels will be rezoned as part of the Zoning Code update. The updated Zoning Code will create the capacity to accommodate a total of 1,579 moderate-income units on vacant sites in the Suburban Neighborhood, Neighborhood Center, and Connected Neighborhood designations (See Section 5.2.2, Moderate-Income Deficit Addressed, for additional details). Therefore, only the new total capacity of 1,579 under the updated Zoning Code has been accounted for in the final totals (see Table I for details).

4.1.1 Mixed Use Neighborhood (MUN)
The Mixed Use Neighborhood (MUN) land use designation provides for moderate- to higher-intensity neighborhood development that features a variety of multifamily housing choices and limited neighborhood-serving commercial uses in a walkable environment at densities up to 40 dwelling units per acre. Approximately 898 acres of the City are in the MUN designation. However, only vacant parcels greater than 0.5 acres or less than 10 acres have been included in the Sites Inventory. Based on the permitted density and range of permitted multifamily residential uses and neighborhood-serving amenities in the MUN designation, the sites have been identified as appropriate to accommodate lower- income housing. While the existing capacity on these sites under the current Zoning regulations is zero as of November 2021, the sites will be made available following adoption of the updated Zoning Code as included in Program 33, Sites Inventory Zoning Update Program, of the Housing Element (see additional details in Section 5.2.1, Lower-Income Shortfall Addressed) and have been included in the Sites Inventory.
Based on a realistic residential development potential of 20 dwelling units per acre in the MUN designation, a total of 38 sites with 2,334 units on approximately 117 total acres have been included in the Sites Inventory. Table 3 provides a summary of all vacant sites in the MUN designation identified in the Sites Inventory. See Figure 2, Mixed-Use Neighborhood Sites, for an overview of sites identified in the MUN land use designation. The vacant sites identified in Figure 2 are vacant sites that have been included in the Sites Inventory; it is not a comprehensive inventory of all vacant sites in the MUN designation.
Refer to Section 4.2 for additional lower- and moderate-income units in the pipeline located in the MUN designation that will be credited toward the City’s 6th Cycle RHNA.

4.1.2 Midtown (MT)
The Midtown (MT) land use designation provides for an active, mixed-use center by allowing multistory, mixed-use buildings at higher intensities, including multifamily standalone residential uses, community gathering spaces, and land uses to support residents and visitors at densities up to 40 dwelling units per acre. Approximately 174 acres of the City are in the MT designation. However, only parcels greater than
0.5 acres or less than 10 acres have been included in the Sites Inventory3. Based on the permitted density and range of permitted multifamily residential uses and neighborhood-serving amenities in the MT designation, the sites have been identified as appropriate to accommodate lower-income housing.
While the existing capacity on these sites under their current Zoning regulations is zero, the sites will be made available following adoption of the updated Zoning Code as included in Program 33, Sites Inventory Zoning Update Program, of the Housing Element (see additional details in Section 5.2.1, Lower-Income Shortfall Addressed) and have been included in the Sites Inventory.
Based on a realistic residential development potential of 20 dwelling units per acre in the MT zone, a total of 12 sites with 826 units on approximately 40.4 total acres have been included in the Sites Inventory. Table 4 provides a summary of all sites in the MT designation identified in the Sites Inventory, including 12 total parcels (11 vacant parcels and 1 underutilized parcel). The one underutilized parcel (Assessor’s Parcel Number 611110043) is occupied by an old, large surface parking lot and an empty concrete building pad. The site has no existing buildings and a very low overall assessed improvement- to-land-value ratio of 0.09. The portion of the site with the concrete building pad used to have a half vacant commercial strip-mall, but the entire structure was demolished between 2015-2016 and the parcel is now for sale, so the existing use is not considered an impediment to future development.
See Figure 3, Midtown Sites, for an overview of sites identified in the MT land use designation. The vacant and underutilized sites identified in Figure 3 are vacant and nonvacant sites that have been included in the Sites Inventory; it is not a comprehensive inventory of all vacant and nonvacant sites in the MT designation.
Refer to Section 4.2 for additional above moderate-income units in the pipeline located in the MT designation that will be credited toward the City’s 6th Cycle RHNA.

4.1.3 Downtown (DT)
Over the years, the Downtown core was eroded, due to development policies that prioritized automobile transportation and suburban housing. This sequence of events has been often repeated throughout the United States, but fortunately Indio retains many of its key Downtown assets. Its street grid framework largely remains intact, and the City has planned for the current transit center to be a future multi-modal transit hub and one day deliver regional visitors directly to the Downtown core.
Downtown is once again poised for economic growth. As a central area of civic activity at local and regional scales, an emerging center for education, and a popular location for special events with significant land available for new development, the Downtown area is primed for redevelopment and revitalization.
The Downtown Indio Specific Plan (DTSP), adopted in April 2020, further incentives these redevelopment and revelational efforts. The DTSP is the current regulatory plan providing the vision and zoning for the parcels in the 140-acre Downtown planning area. A comprehensive update to the City’s Zoning Code is currently underway, and it is expected that the City will amend the City of Indio Municipal Code to include comprehensively updated zoning standards. One of the DTSP’s goals is to diversify the City’s housing stock to include new housing types that serve a broad and diverse community of new and existing residents, providing housing opportunities for households of all ages, types, incomes, and lifestyles in an amenity-rich urban environment. The City recognizes that desired components of the Downtown environment are not likely to be provided by the market alone, as such, the DTSP provides incentives for developing specified community benefits, including student housing and residential amenities, in exchange for an increase in heigh limit. As such, implementation of the DTSP is anticipated to promote the production and facilitate development of housing in the Downtown.
The Downtown (DT) land use designation supports a lively, thriving Downtown area by accommodating multistory, mixed-use buildings at higher intensities, including multifamily standalone residential and live/work uses at densities up to 60 dwelling units per acre. Approximately 77 acres of the City are in the DT designation. However, only individual parcels or parcels rendered suitable for consolidation into one site (sites can be made up of single parcels, or two or more parcels that are anticipated to be consolidated and developed into a single site) greater than 0.5 acres or less than 10 acres have been included in the Sites Inventory. Based on the permitted density and range of permitted multifamily residential uses, the sites have been identified as appropriate to accommodate lower-income housing (See Section 3.2.1 for additional discussion related to sites methodology). All sites proposed to be consolidated are denoted by a letter following the Site number in both Table 16, Sites Inventory Table, and in Exhibit A, Housing Element Electronic Sites Inventory Form.
Based on a realistic residential development potential of 20 dwelling units per acre, a total of 13 sites with an existing total capacity of 233 units on approximately 12 total acres in the Downtown Specific Plan area and DT designation have been included in the Sites Inventory. Table 5 provides a summary of all vacant and underutilized sites in the DT designation identified in the Sites Inventory. The 13 sites are made up of a total of 55 individual parcels, many of which are reasonably expected to be consolidated and developed into single sites. 35 of the parcels in the Sites Inventory identified in the DT designation are completely vacant, which is approximately two thirds of the total 55 parcels identified in the DT designation. A realistic capacity for 147 lower-income units has been identified on the vacant parcels.
The other 20 parcels identified are underutilized. However, the majority of the underutilized sites are
AGENDA ITEM #10.1
Revised Resolution No. 10254 re-approving the revised version of Housing... Page 516 of 1245 Page | 16 City of Indio Appendix E: Sites Analysis and Inventory not currently being utilized by an existing use, or do not have existing structures and are only empty grass, dirt or concrete lots, or parking lots. In addition, 16 out of the 20 underutilized parcels, are owned by the City or the Housing Authority. A realistic capacity for 86 lower-income units has been identified on the underutilized parcels.
Existing Uses
16 of the 20 underutilized parcels do not have existing structures (refer to Table 16 for parcel specific details). Specifically, nine of the underutilized parcels are large, underutilized surface parking lots or concrete lots, and seven parcels are currently empty grass or dirt lots. As such there is no existing structure that constitutes an impediment to additional residential development. The remaining four out of the 20 underutilized parcels are the only parcels that have existing structures; however, the parcels contain buildings that are vacant or in disrepair. Two of the parcels (APN numbers 611213028 and 611221007, part of consolidated sites 7E and 10H in Table 16, respectively) both have vacant, closed fast-food restaurant, one of which is a 41-year-old structure and the other a 57-year-old structure built in 1965. One of the parcels (Parcel number 611213024 part of consolidated site 8F in Table 16) is publicly owned by the Housing Authority and has a 55-year-old vacant structure built in 1967. The only underutilized parcel (Parcel number 611223004 part of consolidated site 13K in Table 16) with an existing structure that is not vacant, has a small, 75-year-old commercial building built in 1946 on a small portion of the front half of the lot, and an old concrete lot in the back. The parcel has a site improvement-to-land-value ratio of 0.6 and a floor area ratio of 0.09, and there are no known long-term leases or contracts that would prevent redevelopment of the site. Therefore, it is reasonable to identify the parcel as a good candidate for more-intensive residential uses through redevelopment.
As for the parcels that are currently used as large, surface parking lots, the City has had a long-term goal of revitalizing the City’s downtown area through mass redevelopment opportunities that could include such properties. To advance these efforts, the City recently (November 2021) declared approximately
8.2 acres (26 total parcels) in the downtown area as surplus land as defined in Government Code Section 54221 (Resolution No. 10239), including 10 parcels identified in Table 16.
Over the past 20 years, the City—and its former redevelopment agency—strategically acquired a significant mass of key land within the DT area. Most of this property is between Requa Avenue and Indio Boulevard. The City can leverage this asset by entering into development agreements with developers who share the City’s ambitious vision of a new, active, mixed-use urban center, and are willing and able to work with the City to make such outcomes financially feasible. Of the parcels included in the Sites Inventory in the DT designation, 35 are owned by the City or the Housing Authority.
As the locally owned parcels included in the Sites Inventory are sold, leased, or otherwise disposed of, the City will track and include the information in the Housing Element Annual Progress Reports, as detailed in the Housing Element programs.
Approximately 90 percent of parcels in the DT designation are less than 0.5 acres. Therefore, most of the sites identified in Table 5 include two or more parcels anticipated to be consolidated to create sites that allow sufficient capacity for a typical affordable housing project. If the sites inventory were to exclude all individual parcels smaller than 0.5 acres, without considering the possibility of consolidating smaller parcels into one site, the Sites Inventory would be excluding 90 percent of the City’s total downtown parcels from the Sites Inventory and acting as a constrain to the City's long-term goal of revitalizing the City's Downtown area. As previously discussed, interest from developers and recent trends of lot

Furthermore, the City will specifically support lot consolidation through the creation of an incentive that can be offered in exchange for lot consolidation as part of Program 11, Development Incentives and Programs, of the Housing Element.

4.1.4 Summary of Lower-Income Sites
In total, the Sites Inventory includes an existing capacity to accommodate 233 lower-income units in the in the Downtown Specific Plan area. To accommodate the City’s remaining 6th Cycle RHNA for lower- income units and a buffer to ensure capacity throughout the Housing Element planning period, the City will adopt an updated Zoning Ordinance by mid-2022 to create the capacity for an additional 3,160 lower-income units as identified in the MUN and MT designations (See additional details in Section
5.2.1, Lower-Income Shortfall Addressed).

4.1.5 Suburban Neighborhood (SN)
The Suburban Neighborhood (SN) land use designation provides low-intensity neighborhood development for single-family and small, low-intensity multifamily dwelling groupings organized along walkable streetscapes with commercial/retail activity nearby. A large portion, approximately 8,264 acres, of the City is in the SN designation. Approximately 2,161 of those acres are vacant, including several large parcels on the northern perimeters of the City that account for almost 1,000 acres of vacant land in the SN designation. However, only vacant parcels greater than 0.5 acres or less than 10 acres have been included in the Sites Inventory. Based on the permitted densities, range of single-family and multifamily housing, and opportunities for medium-intensity residential development permitted in the SN designation, the sites have been identified as appropriate to accommodate moderate-income housing. Under the parcel’s existing zoning regulations, as of November 2021, there is an existing capacity of 89 moderate-income units in the SN designation (see current zoning details in Exhibit A).
However, all of these parcels will be rezoned, and a new total realistic capacity of 252 units on approximately 63 acres of vacant sites in the SN zone will be made available following adoption of the updated Zoning Ordinance as discussed in Program 37, of the Housing Element (see additional details in Section 5.2.2, Moderate-Income Deficit Addressed) and have been included in the Sites Inventory.
Table 7 provides a summary of all vacant sites in the SN designation identified in the Sites Inventory. The realistic capacity was calculated using a realistic residential development potential of 4 dwelling units per acre in the SN zone. See Figure 5, Suburban Neighborhood Sites, for an overview of sites identified in the SN land use designation. The vacant sites identified in Figure 5 are vacant sites that have been included in the Sites Inventory; it is not a comprehensive inventory of all vacant sites in the SN designation.

4.1.6 Neighborhood Center (NC)
The Neighborhood Center (NC) land use designation provides for areas with a variety of neighborhood- serving retail and commercial uses, housing of various types, other neighborhood-serving amenities, and community gathering spaces for residents at a density ranging between 10 and 20 dwelling units per acre. Approximately 138 acres of the City are in the NC designation. However, only vacant parcels greater than 0.5 acres or less than 10 acres have been included in the Sites Inventory. Based on the permitted densities and range of single-family and multifamily housing, neighborhood-serving amenities, and commercial uses permitted in the NC designation, the sites have been identified as appropriate to accommodate moderate-income housing. While the existing capacity on these sites under their current Zoning regulations is zero, the sites will be made available following adoption of the updated Zoning Code as included in Program 37, of the Housing Element (see additional details in Section 5.2.2, Moderate-Income Deficit Addressed) and have been included in the Sites Inventory.
Based on a realistic residential development potential of 10 dwelling units per acre in the NC zone, a total of 251 units on approximately 25 acres of vacant sites in the NC zone have been included in the Sites Inventory. Table 8 provides a summary of all vacant sites in the NC designation identified in the Sites Inventory. See Figure 6, Neighborhood Center Sites, for an overview of sites identified in the NC land use designation. The vacant sites identified in Figure 6 are vacant sites that have been included in the Sites Inventory; it is not a comprehensive inventory of all vacant sites in the NC designation.

4.1.7 Connected Neighborhood (CN)
The Connected Neighborhood (CN) land use designation provides a broad range of housing choices within a walkable neighborhood setting within a short distance of goods and services. Housing types include single-family detached and attached dwellings of various sizes, courtyard apartments and condos, and medium-sized multifamily buildings designed for neighborhood compatibility at a density of up to 20 dwelling units per acre. Approximately 1,270 acres of the City are in the CN designation.
However, only vacant sites greater than 0.5 acres or less than 10 acres have been included in the Sites Inventory. Based on the maximum allowed density and range of single-family and multifamily housing permitted in the CN designation, the sites have been identified as appropriate to accommodate moderate-income housing. Under the parcels existing Zoning regulations, as of November 2021, there is an existing capacity of 543 moderate-income units in the CN designation (see current zoning details in Exhibit A). However, all of these parcels will be rezoned and a new total realistic capacity of 1,076 units on approximately 77 acres of vacant sites in the CN zone will be made available following adoption of the updated Zoning Code as discussed in Program 37, of the Housing Element (see additional details in Section 5.2.2, Moderate-Income Deficit Addressed) and have been included in the Sites Inventory.
The realistic capacity was calculated using a realistic residential development potential of 14 dwelling units per acre in the CN zone. Table 9 provides a summary of all vacant sites in the CN designation identified in the Sites Inventory. See Figure 7, Connected Neighborhood Sites, for an overview of sites identified in the CN land use designation. The vacant sites identified in Figure 7 are vacant sites that have been included in the Sites Inventory; it is not a comprehensive inventory of all vacant sites in the CN designation.
See Table 16 Sites 120–158O in Section 5 for individual site and parcel details.

4.1.8 Summary of Moderate-Income Sites
The Sites Inventory includes an existing capacity to accommodate 632 moderate-income units under the parcel’s existing Zoning regulations in the SN and CN designations. To accommodate the City’s 6th Cycle RHNA for moderate-income units and a buffer to ensure capacity throughout the Housing Element Period, the City will adopt an updated Zoning Ordinance by mid-2022 to create a new total realistic capacity of 1,579 moderate-income units in the SN, NC, and CN designations (see additional details in Section 5.2.2, Moderate-income Deficit Addressed).
Table 10 provides a summary of total residential capacity on vacant parcels identified within the SN, NC, and CN designations, which are anticipated to accommodate moderate-income units.

As of July 2021, there were an estimated 10,252 housing units in the pipeline that are counted toward meeting the RHNA. Of those units, 9,448 are projects with remaining entitlements that are counted toward meeting and exceeding the capacity needed to accommodate the above moderate-income RHNA of 3,534 units, as shown in Table 12, Projects in Indio with Remaining Entitlements. In addition, major redevelopment plans for the former Indio Fashion Mall located in the Midtown (MT) designation will expand the property to include the adjacent 20-acre parcel currently owned by the City and redevelop the site into the Indio Marketplace (Site 28M in Table 16). The Indio Marketplace will be a mixed-use project with an expected 400 above moderate-income residential units. The Indio Marketplace’s Design Review Application (21-04-486) for redevelopment was approved by the City’s Planning Commission on July 14, 2021 (Resolution Number 2001), and the project is expected to be completed by the developer/property manager, Haagen Company, during the planning period.
The Arroyo Crossing (Site 69N in Table 16) is an approved mixed-use project that will be located in the Mixed Use Neighborhood (MUN) designation located on two currently vacant parcels on the west side of Jefferson Street between Highway 111 and Avenue 48. The project is expected to be completed by the developer, Pacific West Communities Inc., during the planning period, and will provide a total of 400 mixed-income units in two phases, consisting of 41 extremely-low income units, 41 very low-income units, 314 low-income units, and 4 manager units. Phase I will provide 184 units, including 182 lower- income units and 2 manager units, on 6.7 acres at approximately 27 dwelling units per acre. Phase II will provide 216 units, including 214 lower-income units and 2 manager units on 7.3 acres at approximately 30 dwelling units per acre. The project will include two- and three-story residential apartment buildings with units ranging from one to three bedrooms. In addition, the project will include amenities such as a club and fitness room, pool, tot lot, dog park, and open space and recreational areas and will meet the

Phase I of the Arroyo Crossing project received Design Review entitlement approvals from the Planning Commission in March 2020 (Resolution No. 1925), and in May 2020, the City Council approved the project’s Tentative Parcel Map and Environmental Assessment (Resolution No. 10140 and 10141). In September 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 10233 approving the issuance of tax-exempt revenue bonds by the California Municipal Finance Authority to provide financing for Arroyo Crossing Phase I. Phase I of the project will provide a mix of 22 studio units, 51 one-bedroom units, 56 two- bedroom units, and 55 three-bedroom units. The units will provide affordable housing for families earning up to 80 percent of the area median income for Riverside County, with an average affordability of just under 60 percent of the area median income, including 19 extremely low-income units, 19 very low-income units, and 144 low-income units. All units will be affordable for a 55-year period per recorded covenants.
In July 2021, the Planning Commission approved Phase II of the Arroyo Crossing project’s Design Review (Resolution No. 2000), and Environmental Assessment (Resolution No. 1999). In September 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 10234 approving the issuance of tax-exempt revenue bonds by the California Municipal Finance Authority to provide financing for Arroyo Crossing Phase II. Phase II of the project will provide a mix of 106 one-bedroom units, 56 two-bedroom units, and 54 three-bedroom units. The units will provide affordable housing for families earning up to 80 percent of the area median income for Riverside County, with an average affordability of just under 60 percent of the area median income, including 22 extremely low-income units, 22 very low-income units, and 170 low-income units.
All units will be affordable for a 55-year period per recorded covenants.
There are a number of other projects in the City with residential units, such as single-unit developments, that have not been included in this Sites Analysis and Inventory but are expected to be completed during the planning period.

4.3 Accessory Dwelling Unit Projection
The Housing Element may satisfy its RHNA requirement through methods alternative to the identification of sites. One such methodology is through an analysis of the expected number of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs) to be developed within the planning period. The number of ADUs and JADUs that can be credited toward potential development must be based on the following factors:
• ADU and JADU development trends since January 2018
• Community need and demand for ADUs and JADUs
• Resources and incentives available to encourage their development • The availability of ADUs and JADUs for occupancy
• The anticipated affordability of ADUs and JADUs
Recent changes to legislation governing the development and provision of ADUs and JADUs have sparked growth in these units in cities across California, including Indio. ADU and JADU production is an ideal strategy for producing needed housing while capitalizing on existing infrastructure, such as water, sewer, and dry utilities. Additionally, this is often a strategy that is more easily accepted by stakeholders who may be resistant to change because these units provide a form of “unseen” density that is palatable to many.
From 2018 through 2020, 28 ADUs were permitted in the City. Table 13 details recent ADU and JADU development in the City.

Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit Development Trends

Source: City of Indio, 2020, Permit Listing Activity Report, 2018–2020.
Because ADU and JADU legislation has been revised several times since 2017, providing increased opportunities for the development of housing, it is expected that development trends will continue upward. To account for this increased potential, this Sites Analysis used the trends in ADU construction since January 2018 to estimate new production, which averages nine ADUs per year. However, this only accounts for the effect of new laws without local incentives, such as the ADU program identified as part of the Housing Element. As of July 2021, the City had permitted 12 ADUs in 2021. Based on the local incentives and ADU and JADU trends since January 2018, a conservative estimate of the number of units to be produced under this approach is 10 units each year during the planning period (June 30, 2021, to October 31, 2029), for a total of 84 units.
In addition to calculating the expected number of ADUs and JADUs to be developed within the planning period, the Sites Analysis must calculate the anticipated affordability of ADUs and JADUs to determine which RHNA income categories they should be counted toward. To facilitate the ADU affordability assumptions for jurisdictions, SCAG conducted the SCAG Regional Accessory Dwelling Unit Affordability
AGENDA ITEM #10.1
Revised Resolution No. 10254 re-approving the revised version of Housing... Page 532 of 1245 Page | 32 City of Indio Appendix E: Sites Analysis and Inventory Analysis.4 As part of the analysis, SCAG conducted a survey of rents of 150 existing ADUs from April through June 2020. Efforts were made to reflect the geographic distribution, size, and other characteristics of ADUs across counties and subregions.
SCAG concluded that 22.7 percent of ADUs were affordable to very-low-income households. Based on these assumptions, of the total 84 ADUs that are projected to be built during the planning period, 19 are estimated to be affordable to very low-income households, 29 to low-income households, 29 to moderate-income households, and 7 to above moderate-income households. Table 14 shows the assumptions for ADU affordability based on the SCAG survey for San Bernardino and Riverside Counties.

ADU = accessory dwelling unit
In coordination with the updated policies and programs in the Housing Element and the City’s ongoing efforts to promote the development of ADUs and JADUs, it is likely that these units will be produced at a much higher rate. The programs of the Housing Element promote and incentivize the production of ADUs and JADUs.
5 Summary of Capacity to Accommodate the RHNA
The City of Indio is a growing community in the Coachella Valley of Riverside County. Although the City continues to grow, large amounts of vacant land remain with the possibility of providing new housing opportunities. There are also opportunities for ADUs and for the redevelopment of underutilized sites that do not have existing structures, have vacated uses, or have uses that are good candidates for recycling to residential or more-intense residential uses, are publicly owned, surplus land, meet density requirements, have an aging structure, and/or have an assessed improvement-to-land-value ratio or floor area ratio of less than 1. The identification of these sites, paired with the programs of the Housing Element, including , Program 11, Development Incentives and Programs, Program 33, Sites Inventory Zoning Update Program, and Program 37, Zoning Code Updates for the Removal of Constraints, will ensure that the City can realistically meet the RHNA targets at all income levels for the 6th Cycle, and provide additional sites for a generous buffer, ensuring that capacity remains throughout the 6th Cycle.
A site-by-site overview for all sites identified in Section 4.1, Capacity by Land Use Designation, is included in Table 16. The overview includes each parcel’s Assessor’s Parcel Number; acreage; land use designation; potential number of units under the realistic capacity assumptions; income level; and, if applicable, improvement-to-land-value ratio, age of building, and existing use. See Exhibit A, Housing

5.1 Summary of Existing Capacity
Table 15 provides a summary of total residential capacity included in the final Sites Inventory compared to the City’s 6th Cycle RHNA. As shown in Table 15, the City has a total current capacity for 677 lower- income units, 661 moderate-income units, and 9,859 above moderate-income units within the 1) residential pipeline of projects credited toward the RHNA; 2) projected number of ADUs and JADUs; and 3) vacant and underutilized sites with existing capacity. Taking into account the City’s total capacity, the City has an existing capacity deficit of 2,286 lower-income units and 654 moderate-income units.
5.2 Summary of Capacity Under Updated Zoning Code
5.2.1 Lower-Income Shortfall Addressed
The City has a shortfall of 2,286 lower-income units for the 6th Cycle planning period. However, as previously mentioned, the City is in the process of updating its Zoning Code as of November 2021.
Through the Zoning Code update discussed in Program 33, Sites Inventory Zoning Update Program, of the Housing Element, the City’s zoning regulations will be brought into conformity with the Indio General Plan 2040. The updated zoning regulations, which will be adopted mid-2022, will implement the 2040 General Plan, including the allowed densities and uses.
The Sites Analysis included in this Appendix relied on the existing 2040 General Plan land use designations and densities, which will be consistent with the updated Zoning Code. As shown on Table 15, under the updated Zoning Code, the City will have an additional realistic capacity to accommodate 3,160 additional lower-income units, including extremely low-, very low-, and low-income units, in the MUN and MT designations (3,058 units on vacant sites and 102 units on underutilized site). See sites 15- 26 and 29-68 in Table 16, for individual site details identified in the MUN and MT designations. As part of Program 33 of the Housing Element, the City will ensure that the required shortfall of 2,286 units is accommodated and will have a total capacity to accommodate 3,837 lower-income units. The surplus of 874 units identified in the MUN and MT designations will provide a generous buffer of approximately 30 percent more capacity than required. Table II, Summary of Lower-Income Shortfall and Capacity, provides a summary of the current capacity, existing shortfall, additional capacity under the adopted Zoning Code update, and the final surplus/buffer for lower-income units.

5.2.2 Moderate-Income Deficit Addressed
In addition to creating additional lower-income capacity, the updated Zoning Code will create capacity for 1,579 moderate-income units on vacant sites in the SN, NC, and CN designations as shown on Table 15 (See sites 70-158Q in Table 16, for individual site details identified in the SN, NC, and CN designations). Some of the parcels identified to accommodate moderate-income units in the SN and CN designations currently allow residential development under the existing Zoning regulations (as shown in Exhibit A). Under their existing Zoning, there is a capacity of 632 moderate-income units. However, all of these parcels will be rezoned as part of the updated Zoning Code as detailed in Program 37, Zoning Code Updates for the Removal of Constraints, of the Housing Element, and the City will create the capacity to accommodate a new total of 1,579 moderate-income units on vacant sites in the SN, NC, and CN designations. Adding together the projected 29 moderate-income units from potential accessory dwelling units (see item 2, Accessory Dwelling Unit Potential, in Table III) and the 1,579 moderate- income units identified on vacant parcels under the adopted Zoning Code (see item 4, SN, NC, and CN Capacity Identified After Rezone, in Table III), the City will have a total capacity to accommodate 1,608 moderate-income units. The 1,608 units will not only accommodate the 1,315 moderate-income RHNA for the planning period, but they will also provide a surplus capacity of 293 moderate-income units to provide a generous buffer of approximately 22 percent more capacity than required. Table III.

1 Stakeholder Engagement
The City of Indio (City) conducted a robust public outreach program that engaged a broad spectrum of the community and stakeholders. Stay-at-home orders of 2020 and 2021 resulting from the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic provided the City with opportunities to explore new avenues for public engagement, increasing access for those who are traditionally not involved in the planning process and providing new opportunities for community members to take an active role in their City’s General Plan Housing Element update process. Early outreach and formal engagement activities were held virtually in English and Spanish to comply with local measures to promote social distancing and the health and safety of residents, City staff, and consultants during the COVID-19 State of Emergency (Executive Orders N-29-20 and N-35-20). The City took additional, informal opportunities to engage the public. As part of the City’s robust public outreach program, flyers were mailed to all households in City boundaries with information for the virtual public meetings in Spanish and English and included a QR code linked to the City’s Housing Element update webpage for ease of access. Participants without access to a computer were provided a call-in number for all meetings. Additionally, the City promoted workshops, Planning Commission and City Council meetings, and an online survey on a dedicated webpage for the project, through email, and on the City's social media platforms. Participants who could not attend the meeting had the opportunity to view the recordings on the City’s website and could provide their feedback through email and by phone as the City also had a dedicated email and phone number for Housing Element related efforts. The workshop recordings received over 850 views and are publicly available on the City’s Facebook page. The following section details the outreach activities conducted to engage stakeholders and a summary of feedback that informed the development of the Housing Element.
2 Online Survey
The online survey engaged a total of 176 English- and/or Spanish-speaking participants to better inform local housing needs and concerns. The survey, which was available in English and Spanish, was posted on the City’s website, emailed to the City’s interested parties list and to a comprehensive stakeholder’s group, and advertised during virtual public meetings. The list of stakeholders includes Homeowners’ Associations (HOAs), local non-profits that provide housing and resources, and developers, including affordable housing, to ensure all income groups are represented in the data and throughout the development of the Housing Element. Survey participants identified affordability and access to financial resources as a major obstacle for those who wish to own a home in the City but are not able to at this time. Similarly, for those who wish to rent a home, but currently do not, affordability and financial resources were the biggest limiting factors. In line with the City’s current zoning and land use patterns identified in Appendix C, Constraints and Zoning Analysis, and further analyzed in Appendix D, Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Analysis, the vast majority of survey participants, 79 percent, responded that they currently live in a single-family home, as opposed to only 14 percent who live in a multifamily home. Of the remaining survey participants, 3 percent responded that they currently live in a duplex or attached home, 2 percent in an accessory dwelling unit, and 2 percent in some other housing type. Although participants identified single-family residences as the most needed housing type in the City, housing affordability and availability were selected as the most urgent housing concerns in the City. Identifying strategies for lower-income households to more easily access home ownership opportunities to a variety of housing types is the desired pathway to meet both of these priorities.

3 Stakeholder Group Meeting
A stakeholder group meeting was held virtually in English and Spanish on March 4, 2021, and was composed of a variety of community stakeholders, including representatives from regional community non-profits, local service providers for people experiencing homelessness, market-rate developers, the Greater Coachella Valley Chamber of Commerce, non-profit affordable housing developers, and local builders’ associations to ensure all income groups are represented in the Housing Element. The stakeholders offered individual and collective perspectives, and shared their housing-related experiences pertaining to constraints, barriers, and opportunities. Stakeholders highlighted the need in the City for more single-family and multifamily affordable housing, as well as first-time home buyer programs and increased community education. They also noted the lack of variability in housing types for the City’s affordable housing inventory, and identified strategies for addressing the local housing need that included increasing government funding for affordable housing and funding for infrastructure through grants, such as funding through reduced fees/land contributions or gap funding for infrastructure improvements necessary for specific residential or mixed-use infill development projects or areas.
4 Stakeholder Interviews
The public and all interested stakeholders were invited to participate in one-on-one stakeholder interviews pertaining to housing and development within the City. Stakeholders who participated included elected officials, housing developers, affordable housing developers, local residents, school district officials, and local business advocates from organizations including Community Housing Opportunities Corporation, Coachella Valley Housing Coalition, Greater Coachella Valley Chamber of Commerce, Desert Sands Unified School District, and Lift to Rise to ensure people of various income levels were considered in the analysis. Interviews were conducted in English, but Spanish services were offered during one-on-one interviews. Their comments as they relate to the current state and development of housing in the City are provided below:
• Stakeholders highlighted a sense of community, affordability in relation to the rest of the Coachella Valley, and concentrated employment opportunity as the City’s most prominent offerings to future residents.
• Stakeholders s tated that the siting of housing project s is extremely important to its long -term vitality and granting sustainable equity to residents. This includes proximity to major infrastructural resources, such as public transportation network connections ; water, s ewer, and power ; and health-related amenities , including medical centers and urgent care facilities. The City’s recent growth in population and employment rate was attributed to an abundance of land for development and its proximity to Interstate 10. Furth er, stakeholders cited the economy and the COVID-19 pandemic for reducing the need for office space and allowing people to work from home. • Stakeholders expressed that Senate Bill 35, a 2017 statute that streamlines housing construction in California counties that are unable to meet State-mandated housing construction requirements, is an excellent model for crafting policy that lends itself to constructing and maintaining affordable housing within the City. Stakeholders believe that further streamlining the approval process for

affordable developments would prove beneficial. Further, they stated that incentives like 100 percent affordable density-bonus requirements, California Environmental Quality Act exemptions, and exemptions from capital improvements, such as traffic lights and bus stops, greatly contribute to ensuring the completion of affordable housing projects. • Regarding California Tax Credit Allocation Committee tax credit programs, stakeholders cited density and height as two important elements of a successful housing project. High-resource areas were identified as the most likely for housing projects to receive financing. • Stakeholders also found that the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program is a potential source of significant funding for a major transportation and housing hub within the City, albeit a competitive process that can stall projects if they do not qualify for the first round of funding. Less-restrictive development standards, such as less restriction on height, density, setbacks, concessions, and parking requirements , can help get affordable housing projects built most efficiently and create more housing stock for the City. • The key housing problems identified by stakeholders were often related to cost ; overcrowding; lack of variety in housing types ; lack of access for people with disabilities; lack of effective public transportation; and lack of housing near schools, jobs, and retail. Homes being rented out as full - time AirBnB units and party houses was also an issue raised by stakeholders as a practice that diminishes the available housing stock. These issues have led to challenges that are amplified for lower-income households, such as poor mobility and a resulting inability to get to work or school safely, as well as hindering equity and access to essential goods and services. • Another issue acknowledged by stakeholders was the construction of gated communities on the outskirts of the City and investing in infrastructure on the periphery instead of focu sing on redeveloping and creating greater density in the urban core. Further, stakeholders f ound that the City is missing middle-income housing, such as condominiums, townhomes, and duplexes. Middle- income housing, often referred to as “Missing Middle Housing” is a range of house-scale buildings with multiple units—compatible in scale and form with detached single-family homes—located in a walkable neighborhood. The introduction of diverse housing types , such as condominiums, townhomes, apartments, duplexes, and quadplexes, helps to serve the public interest. 5 Planning Commission and City Council Joint Session Public Meetings
The first joint Planning Commission and City Council session for the Housing Element occurred on January 20, 2021 and the second joint session occurred on June 16, 2021. Interested parties and stakeholders previously mentioned were invited to attend the Planning Commission and City Council sessions and meeting agendas were provided in both English and Spanish.
During the January 20, 2021 joint session, City Council and Planning Commission members were provided an overview of the Housing Element requirements, and the needs assessments findings. The presentation highlighted the gap between the current zoning and land use patterns in the City, local housing needs, and the City’s fair share of needed housing for the 6th Cycle planning period. During the discussion portion of the meeting, several City Council and Planning Commission members expressed
AGENDA ITEM #10.1
Revised Resolution No. 10254 re-approving the revised version of Housing... Page 567 of 1245 Page | 4 City of Indio Appendix F: Community Engagement Summary
their support for diversifying the community’s housing stock through an equitable lens, and expressed their support for exploring the elimination of single-family zoning, an inclusionary zoning ordinance, and upzoning.
The second joint session occurred on June 16, 2021. City Council and Planning Commission members were provided a brief overview of the Housing Element process; information regarding the proposed Prohousing Designation Program; draft programs for the 6th Cycle Housing Element; and a summary of development costs provided by London Moeder Advisors for five place type protypes in the suburban, connected, mixed-use, midtown, and downtown designations. During the discussion portion of the meeting, several City Council and Planning Commission members expressed interest in planning for a variety of housing types, including, studios, lofts, live/work units for all-income levels, housing for older adults, condos, and multifamily and single-family housing. The City Council and Planning Commission members would like to explore partnerships and/or policies that would support current residents who are renting to purchase a home in the City. Although at the previous joint session inclusionary zoning was supported by several City Council and Planning Commission members, one member expressed their concern for inclusionary zoning, and stated they were not in support; however, they are supportive of density bonuses and other incentives to housing development, such as parking reductions and a more streamlined process. City Council and Planning Commission members want to support the diversity of protected groups and low-income households throughout the City.

6 Virtual Public Workshops
Virtual public workshops were held on February 18, April 22, and July 8, 2021, and allowed interested parties to be engaged in a more formal setting where they learned about the planning process, the components of the Housing Element, and the importance of their role in development of the plan.
Bilingual (English/Spanish) services were provided during the virtual public workshops to engage a broad spectrum of community members including HOA’s, non-profits, and developers to ensure that households of varying income groups are represented in the Housing Element. The workshops were held during weekday evenings, outside of traditional working hours, to facilitate participation. The workshops were streamed live via Zoom and onto Facebook, and all comments and questions from the workshops and Facebook were read aloud and responded to live. The following is a summary of the three virtual workshops:
• The first virtual workshop held on February 18, 2021, provided participants a 1-hour overview of the current California housing crisis; the Housing Element process ; a description of the Housing Element’s components; an explanation of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation methodology and Draft Allocation Plan ; an overview of regulatory constraints (such as Zoning Code, building standards, and local processes); a summary of the City’s housing needs assessment findings and the implications for future housing needs; and an in-depth exploration into the possible solutions that can be implemented through the Housing Element’s goals, policies, and programs. The second hour of the workshop was an open forum discussion for attendees to ask questions , get answers, and express thoughts and opinions. Bilingual services in English and Spanish were provided during the virtual wo rkshop. Workshop participants identified single -family residences as the most needed housing type in the City, and multifamily housing as the second most needed housing type.
Participants also identified housing affordability, housing availability, population of people experiencing homelessness, and gentrification as the main housing -related concerns in the City.
They expressed their opinion that requiring affordable housing in all new residential projects and increasing density in the City were the best strategies for accommodating the City’s current and future housing needs.
• The second virtual workshop was held on April 22, 2021 , and focused on potential policy recommendations and strategies. Bilingual services in English and Spanish were provided during the virtual workshop. The workshop was streamed live on the City’s Facebook page, and received over 450 views on the City’s Facebook page . During the workshop, participants on ce again highlighted the lack of affordability in the City’s housing stock, and placed an emphasis on the need for policies that prioritized equitable housing opportunities and for policies that provide an opportunity for a diverse range of housing types that align with local needs. • The third virtual workshop was held on July 8, 2021, and participants were provided an overview of the Housing Element’s draft goals, policies, and prog rams based on the needs assessment and input from the community received to date, and were also given an opportunity to provide their comments on the draft goals, policies, and programs. Bilingual services in English and Spanish were provided during the virtual workshop. Participants said that the goals and policies align with the needs of the City, and they also address some of the City’s goals, such as increasing housing access to resources such as parks, transportation, and other community resources. Participants said they
AGENDA ITEM #10.1

would like to see more outreach from the City re garding first -time homebuyer programs and potential collaboration opportunities between developers and property owners in which the City would serve as a facilitator. One participant expressed they would like to see the City explore a rent-control policy.
The outreach conducted for the update to the Housing Element engaged a broad range of community members and stakeholders, including HOAs, local non-profit organizations, developers, and affordable housing developers to ensure all income groups are represented in the Housing Element. The City cast a wide net to gain participation from all segments of the City’s interested parties. The outreach conducted contributed to a set of meaningful goals, policies, and programs that reflect the City’s housing needs and priorities.
7 Public Comments
The Housing Element 6th Cycle Public Review Draft was posted to the City’s website on August 17, 2021 and ended on September 20, 2021. Prior to the release of the Public Review Draft, the City held a virtual workshop on July 8, 2021, provided bilingual services in English and Spanish, in which community members and participants were given an overview of Housing Element components and draft policies and programs. The goal of the workshop was to prepare participants for the Public Review Draft, so they know what to expect and can provide feedback. The City encouraged public participation during the workshop and once the Public Review Draft was posted on the City’s website, the City made a diligent effort to engage the community by advertising the Public Review Draft through various forms of media.
In addition to posting the Public Review Draft on the City’s website, the Public Review Draft was also advertised on the City’s social media accounts, an email announcement was sent to the interested parties list, included in the City’s e-newsletter, etc. Public comments were received related to persons experiencing homelessness, 6th Cycle Programs, farmworkers, and other components of the Housing Element. Table 1 provides the comments received, response to the comment, and a summary of changes made and incorporated in the Housing Element which address relevant comments. Three public comment letters (see comment letters 1 through 3 attached) were received during the public review period. Comments from those letters are included in Table 1. In addition, one public comment letter was received by the City after the public review period on October 28, 2021, after the start of the 6th Cycle planning period. As such, the comments were not included in Table 1, but the letter received has been attached for reference (see comment letter 4 attached).

Comments Response/Changes Made
Refer to attached public comment letters – Comment Letter 1 1 Section 3.3.4 titled "Electric Power and Natural Gas" of Appendix C: Constraints and Zoning Analysis of the City of Indio 6th Cycle Housing Element Update Draft, page 28, should be revised to reflect that the IID provides electric power and services for city of Indio and not SCE.
Text has been updated to reflect that IID provide electric power and services to City of Indio.
2 IID will not begin any studies, engineering or estimate costs to provide electrical service to project, until the developer(s)/applicant(s) submit a customer project application (available at http://www.iid.com/home/showdocument?id=12923 and detailed loading information, panel sizes, project schedule and estimated in- service date. Developer(s)/applicant(s) shall bear all costs associated with providing electrical service to the project, including but not limited to the construction of new substation facilities, transmission line extensions, distribution feeder breakers, feeder backbones, distribution overhead and underground line extensions, underground conduit systems, the re-configuration of distribution circuits and/or other upgrades as well as applicable permits, zoning changes, landscaping (if required by the City) and rights-of-way and easements.
The City understands and will ensure that project applicants coordinate with the IID on a project-specific basis.

3 However, based on the preliminary information provided to the IID, It is anticipated that the additional power load for the development resulting from the Indio Housing Element Update would significantly impact electric service to the area, and would require the acquisition and construction of new substations, 92kV transmission line extensions and extension of new distribution feeders.
Additional requirements include grading, fencing, applicable permits, zoning change, landscaping (if required by the City), and all rights-of-way and easements for the substation, and access rights for both ingress and egress, as well as for power line facilities, all of which are at the expense of the developer(s)/applicant(s) in the area. A detailed and final study will be developed once final plans, applications and detailed loading information are received. This data and information will allow IID to perform an accurate assessment of any potential impacts and mitigations.
At this point in time, the construction of the housing units identified in the Housing Element is not occurring. The environmental analysis prepared for the Housing Element is based on the adoption of a policy document and not a specific at this point in time. As individual projects are proposed, the City and project applicants will coordinate with the IID and identify the need for new or expanded infrastructure to serve developments. As such, the IS/ND prepared for the Housing Element Update is adequate and future coordination will occur with the IID. 4 Please be aware that pursuant to IID process, the standard time frame for the implementation of new substation (engineering, equipment procurement and construction) takes a minimum of 24 months.
The City understands that the IID will require at least 24 months for the planning and construction of a new substation.
5 It is important to note that a detailed and final study will be developed once a developer(s)/applicant(s) project application and loading calculations are received. This detailed information will allow IID to perform an accurate assessment and provide a full report of any potential impacts and mitigation measures. The conditions of service could change as a result of the additional studies.
The City understands the need for, and will engage with, IID as individual project applications are submitted.
6 Underground infrastructure that includes trenching, conduits, pull boxes, switch boxes, transformers, commercial meter panels, and pads should be installed following IID approved plans and within the public utility easement or a dedicated easement if applicable. Physical field installation of underground infrastructures should be verified and approved by an IID inspector prior to cable installation as per IID Developer's Guide
(https://www.iid.com/home/showdocument?id=14229).
The City understands the need for, and will engage with, IID as individual project applications are submitted.

Thank you for providing contact information.
9 It is important to note that IID's policy is to extend its electrical facilities only to those projects that have obtained the approval of a city or county planning commission and such other governmental authority or decision-making body having jurisdiction over said developments.
The City understands the need for, and will engage with, IID as individual project applications are submitted.
10 Developer(s)/applicant(s) will be required to provide right-of-way and easements for any power line extensions and overhead or underground infrastructure needed to serve their project.
The City will make it clear to project applicants that right-of-ways and easements will be required for IID.
11 Any construction or operation on IID property or within its existing and proposed right of way or easements including but not limited to: surface improvements such as proposed new streets, driveways, parking lots, landscape; and all water, sewer, storm water, or any other above ground or underground utilities; will require an encroachment permit, or encroachment agreement (depending on the circumstances). A copy of the IID encroachment permit application and instructions for its completion are available at http://www.iid.com/about- iid/department-directory/real-estate. The IID Real Estate Section should be contacted at (760) 339-9239 for additional information regarding encroachment permits or agreements.
The City understands, and will make sure applicants are aware, that any construction or operation on IID property would require an encroachment permit.

12 Relocation of existing IID facilities to accommodate the project or to accommodate street widening improvements imposed by the City will be deemed customer-driven and all costs, as well as securing of rights of way and easements for relocated facilities, shall be borne by developer(s)/applicant(s).
The City understands, and will make sure applicants are aware, that relocation of existing IID facilities to accommodate future projects will be done at the cost to the applicant/project.
13 Public utility easement over all private public roads and additional ten (10) feet in width on both sides of the private roads shall be dedicated to IID for the construction, operation, and maintenance of its electrical infrastructure.
Public utility easements will be dedicated to IID for electrical infrastructure. 14 Any new, relocated, modified or reconstructed IID facilities required for and by a project (which can include but it not limited to electrical utility substations, electrical transmission and distribution lines, etc.) need to be included as part of the land use permitting action's CEQA and/or NEPA documentation, environmental impact analysis and mitigation. Failure to do so will result in postponement of any construction and/or modification of IID facilities until such time as the environmental documentation is amended and environmental impacts are fully mitigated. Any mitigation necessary as a result of the construction, relocation and/or upgrade of IID facilities is the responsibility of the applicant/developer.
As facility improvements are needed, these will be considered and evaluated with projects related to the needs and required upgrades, including the evaluation of environmental impacts through the CEQA process.

15 Dividing project into two or more pieces and evaluating each piece in a separate environmental document (Piecemealing or Segmenting), rather than evaluating the whole of the project in one environmental document, is explicitly forbidden by CEQA, because dividing a project into a number of pieces would allow a Lead Agency to minimize the apparent environmental impacts of a project by evaluating individual pieces separately, each of which may have a less-than- significant impact on the environment, but which together may result in a significant impact. Segmenting a project may also hinder developing comprehensive mitigation strategies. In general, if an activity the project objectives, or a reasonably foreseeable consequence of approving the project, then it should be considered an integral project component that should be analyzed within the environmental analysis. The project description should include all project components, including those that will have ot be approved by responsible agencies. The State CEQA Guidelines define a project under CEQA as "the whole of the action" that may result either directly or indirectly in physical changes to the environment. This broad definition is intended to provide the maximum protection of the environmental. CEQA case law has established general principles on project segmentation for different project types. For a project requiring construction of offsite infrastructure, the offsite infrastructure must be included in the project description. San Joaquin Raptor/Wildlife Rescue Center v. County of Stanislaus (1994) 27. Cal.App 4th 713.
The action being undertaken is the adoption of an updated Housing Element, which is a policy document providing a framework for how the City could go about meeting the RHNA numbers assigned to the City. No construction activities or operational changes would occur as a result of the adoption of this updated Housing Element, and no new developments are being planned that rely upon this document. When a housing project is proposed, at that point in time the City will evaluate the environmental impacts of the proposed development project. The intent of the CEQA document prepared is solely for the adoption of this policy document. As such, the City is not "piecemealing" or "segmenting" the environmental analysis. 16 Developer(s)/applicant(s) should be advised that landscaping can be dangerous if items are planted too close to IID's electrical equipment. In the event of an outage, or equipment failure, it is vital that IID personnel have immediate and safe access to its equipment to make the needed repairs. For public safety, and that of the electrical workers, it is important to adhere to standards that limit landscaping around electrical facilities. IID landscaping guidelines are available at http://www.iid.com/energy/vegetation-management.
The City understands the need for, and will engage with, IID as individual project applications are submitted so that appropriate landscaping plan requirements are met.

17 I. Inadequate Public Participation and Public Access Government Code section 65583(c)(8)
The City must make a diligent effort to achieve public participation among all economic segments of the community and describe this effort. The Housing Element must describe meaningful, frequent, and ongoing community participation, consultation, and coordination that is integrated with the broader stakeholder outreach and community participation process for the overall housing element.
The City held limited public workshops on the housing element outside of the setting of a City Council or Planning Commission meeting, however, the actions described in section 65583(c)(8) require more than public hearings to adopt a housing element. Each of the public workshops and City Council and Planning Commission meetings were offered only virtually, which de facto eliminates participation by anyone who is homeless or who has no or limited internet access.
The comment notes that all meetings were held virtually, which is correct. All meetings were in fact held virtually to comply with local measures to promote social distancing and the health and safety of residents, City staff, and consultants during the COVID-19 State of Emergency. Refer to Executive Order N-29-20 and Executive Order N-35-20.
The comment incorrectly states that the City held limited public workshops on the Housing Element outside of the setting of a City Council or Planning Commission meeting. In addition to several City Council and Planning Commission meetings, the City held three community meetings on 2/18/21, 4/22/21 and 7/8/21. All meetings were publicly advertised in Spanish and English, held in Spanish and English, and live translations were offered for community comments, as requested. All meetings were posted on the City's website for those who could not attend the live meetings.
In addition, one stakeholder community meeting, which was open to the public and to community stakeholders, was held on 3/4/21. In addition, the City held individual and small group stakeholder interviews, which were also open to all members of the public. The City mailed an individual flyer to all households in the City with information for the public meetings in Spanish and English and included a QR code and a link for ease of access. Participants without access to a computer were provided a call-in number. Additionally, the City promoted the meetings on a dedicated webpage for the project, through email, and on the City's social media platforms. The City also had a dedicated email and phone number for the Housing Element, an online survey available in English and Spanish, a newsletter for interested participants to subscribe to, and provided a 30-day public review period for the public review draft of the Housing Element.

Revised Resolution No. 10254 re-approving the revised version of Housing...Page 576 of 1245 Page | 13 City of Indio Appendix F: Community Engagement Summary
18 While there is no information in the draft Housing Element about the number of Indio residents who have limited English-language proficiency, it is abundantly clear that people who do not speak English as a primary language have not been adequately consulted. 23% of the Desert Sands Unified School District students are English learners, and a commensurate, and potentially even larger percentage of those students and their families reside in Indio – the largest and most populous city in the District – yet only four (4) survey responses were received in Spanish, and there is no data as to the engagement that was had during any of the workshops in any language. The inability to reach this considerable portion of the community cannot be considered a diligent effort to achieve public participation and the City should obtain meaningful input from non-English speaking residents and persons with no or limited internet access prior to the adoption of this Housing Element.
The draft housing element does not satisfy HCD guidelines and should not be considered compliant with State Housing Law until it achieves a higher rate of input that reflects the housing needs of all segments of the community.
The comment incorrectly states that the City's only outreach conducted in Spanish was through four survey responses, and that no data exists as to the engagement that was had during any of the workshops in any language. As previously stated, all community meetings were held in English and Spanish and the recordings are available on the Housing Element webpage
(https://www.indio.org/your_government/development_services/housing_element_up date.htm), outreach material was available in English and Spanish, and the flyer sent to all households in the City provided all information in English and Spanish. In addition, the public meetings held on 4/22/21 and 7/8/21 were streamed live on the City's Facebook page, and the recordings received over 850 views. The data related to the views is publicly available on the City's Facebook.
Meetings were held virtually to comply with local measures to promote social distancing and the health and safety of residents, City staff, and consultants during the COVID-19 State of Emergency, but participants were given the option to participate through a phoneline if they did not have internet access. 19 II. Assessment of Housing Needs.
A. Analysis of Population and Employment Trends Government Code section 65583(a)(1)
Housing Elements must include “an analysis of population and employment trends and documentation of projections and a quantification of the locality’s existing and projected housing needs for all income levels, including extremely low-income households.” The use of the words “trends,” “projections,” and “projected,” make clear that the Housing Element is intended to be a tool for future planning, however, the Draft Housing Element includes only a fixed and contemporary report of the City’s population and employment statistics. Tables 1 and 3 of the Draft Housing Element and subsequent analysis, for example, reports growth from 2000 to 2020 but does not project what that growth will look like throughout the course of this Housing Element Cycle. The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) has prepared several projected regional growth forecasts that should be considered as part of the City of Indio’s assessment of housing needs.
Appendix B has been updated with population and employment projections in accordance with (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(1).).
AGENDA ITEM #10.1
Revised Resolution No. 10254 re-approving the revised version of Housing...Page 577 of 1245 Page | 14 City of Indio Appendix F: Community Engagement Summary
20 The near-exclusive reliance on data from the American Community Survey (ACS) is insufficient to analyze housing needs. It well known that the Census, thus the ACS undercounts low income and other special populations. However, it appears that no report commissioned by the City of Indio or information gathered by the City seems to have been referenced or consulted in the preparation of the draft. Information from SCAG, the Coachella Valley Association of Governments, Health Assessment and Research for Communities (HARC) – a non-profit organization that provides research and evaluation services based in Palm Desert, DataQuest – the California Department of Education’s free online research tool, City agencies, contractors and others should be consulted to develop a comprehensive community profile.
The comment incorrectly states that the Housing Element relied nearly-exclusively on data from the ACS and recommends data sources that the Housing Element has already included and clearly lists in Section 1.2, Data Sources of Appendix B.
Additionally, other components of the Housing Element included numerous other data sources, including County data, land use and spatial data sets detailed in Section 3.1, Process Overview, in Appendix E, and numerous other data sources included in Appendix D, such as HCD's Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Data Viewer. In addition, the Housing Element consulted with several community organizations including Community Housing Opportunities Corporation, Coachella Valley Housing Coalition, Greater Coachella Valley Chamber of Commerce, Desert Sands Unified School District, and Lift to Rise.
21 B. Analysis and Documentation of Households Government Code 65583(a)(2)
The Housing Element must analyze and document household characteristics, including level of payment compared to ability to pay, housing characteristics, including overcrowding and housing stock condition. The Draft Housing Element’s analysis credits overcrowding and overpayment as “challenges faced by households,” but should also consider the City’s contributions to housing challenges. See section 1.5.
Identifying and evaluating existing housing needs are critical components of the housing element. The analysis helps the City identify existing housing conditions that require addressing and households with housing cost burdens or unmet housing needs. The programs of the Housing Element aim to mitigate household overcrowding, overpayment, and housing conditions.
22 State law also requires the City to comply with the mandates of AB 686 “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing,” which includes an analysis of the effects of discrimination on the make-up of the community. Appendix B provides only a general summary of race and ethnicity population estimates but does not explain how race or ethnicity impacts overcrowding, overpayment, vacancy rates, housing costs or housing stock characteristics. The City’s Draft Housing Element cannot be lawfully adopted without an appropriate analysis.
The comment incorrectly states that solely based on the information provided in Appendix B of the Housing Element, the Housing Element does not comply with the requirements of AB 686. The comment does not reflect any of the information included in the comprehensive Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing analysis in Appendix D of the Housing Element. Appendix D has been updated to comply with AB 686 and affirmatively further fair housing in the City.

23 Similar analysis should occur with respect to the impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on overcrowded housing in the City of Indio and across all income levels, particularly the impacts that people of color and low wage workers have faced.
Research on the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has so far naturally focused on the short-term economic impacts from mitigation and containment strategies. While impacts are constraining California’s housing shortage, exacerbating the current supply-and-demand imbalance across much of the State, real-time data related to the number of overcrowded households across all income levels, is not readily available. The data related to overcrowded households in the City relied on pre- approved data packages available from SCAG, which rely on Census data, HCD's Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Data Viewer, and data from HUD’s Consolidated Housing Affordability Strategy. The policies of the Housing Element encourage the City to be responsive to ongoing changes throughout the cycle, including as they relate to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. 24 C. Analysis of Special Needs Housing Government Code 65583(a)(7) The Draft Housing Element must analyze special housing needs for the elderly, persons with disabilities, large families, farmworkers, families with female heads of household, and families and persons in need of emergency shelter.
Insufficient community outreach and research limit the analysis presented and more information must be included to achieve a compliant housing element.
None of these sections describes how race or ethnicity factors into the special housing needs of each of these groups and therefore this housing element is not able to comply with its obligations to affirmatively further fair housing.
The full analysis on special housing needs has been updated to comply with Gov.
Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(7). See new text added for analysis of special housing needs in Appendices B and C.
See previous response to comment related to the comprehensive Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing analysis included in Appendix D of the Housing Element.
See previous response to comment related to community outreach. 25 1. Persons with Disabilities
The Draft Housing Element relies only on data from the ACS, which suffers from undercount. Both the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Department of Labor maintain data with respect to type of disability, industry, class of worker, and wages earned. This information along with information from local groups that work with people with disabilities should be required prior to the adoption of this 6th Cycle Housing Element.
See previous comment related to data sources used in the Housing Element.
The full analysis on special housing needs has been updated to comply with Gov.
Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(7).

26 2. Homeless
The Draft Housing Element lists mental health issues, substance abuse, increased elderly persons with low incomes, minors who have run away from home, and deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill, financial circumstances and domestic violence as factors that contribute to homelessness. Missing from this list, however, is any analysis of the impact that evictions, government constraints or a lack of affordable housing has on homelessness. This section also does not comply with obligations to affirmatively further fair housing.
The comment restates information included in the Housing Element. Appendix C, and Section 1.7.5, Population Experiencing Homelessness and Transitional Housing, of Appendix B include a thorough analysis of the population experiencing homelessness in the City, including existing need and 2020 Point-in-Time Count and Survey Data performed by the County of Riverside’s Department of Public Social Services, a description of any existing resources or programs, and an assessment of unmet needs, and families and persons in need of emergency shelters, as well as an identification of potential program or policy options and resources to address the need.
Full analysis on special housing needs has been updated to comply with Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(7).
Government Constraints are discussed in Appendix C of the Housing Element.
Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing analysis is located in Appendix D of the Housing Element.
27 2. Homeless
The Draft analysis should include estimates of the numbers and types of households affected by homelessness (e.g. single men, single women, families, persons with disabilities, persons suffering from substance abuse) to adequately determine the assistance that will be provided to this population. See HCD Building Blocks “People Experiencing Homelessness.” The Draft Housing Element does not include these details and therefore should not be considered a complete assessment of special housing needs as required by law.
Per HCD’s Building Blocks, "an estimate or count of the daily average number of people lacking shelter. Wherever possible, this figure should be divided into single males, single females, and families (one or more adults with children) as the shelter needs that each subgroup requires will differ significantly." Further details as the relate to the subpopulations have been added to the Housing Element based on the local and regional data available that comply with the requirements of State law.

28 3. Farmworkers
The HCD Review letter requires that the Draft Housing element include information regarding permanent and seasonal farmworkers in the region. The Draft incorrectly states that farmworkers are “defined as persons whose primary incomes are earned through seasonal agricultural work,” which has the effect of excluding year-round agricultural work, and people who perform agricultural labor as a secondary source of income and who should be considered farmworkers for purposes of identifying housing needs.
The three general classifications of farmworkers in the Indio draft Housing Element identified in section 1.8.6 defy reality and we encourage the City to reconsider how it identifies farmworkers and their families.
The three classifications have been revised. New classifications have been updated based on classifications provided on HCD's website.
29 3. Farmworkers
The draft relies solely on data from the ACS and does not include information from any local service providers or agencies that work with farmworkers, such as the school district’s Migrant Education Program, or the Agricultural Commissioner’s Office. Further information about the number of permanent and seasonal farmworkers is required in order to comply with State Housing Element Law.
Permanent and seasonal farmworker data from SCAG has been included in the analysis. To the extent possible, local data was included in the analysis under Appendix B, Section 1.7.6. Information about the Migrant Education Program has been included, see Appendix D, Section 4.5.1.
30 3. Farmworkers
Missing from the ACS is any count of workers engaged in the cultivation or harvest of cannabis, who should be considered farmworkers and considered in this Housing Element.
The comment notes that ACS data does not account for workers engaged in the cultivation or harvest of cannabis. The City is limited to Federal, State, regional or County data as they do not have access to local data. Additionally, recent crop reports from the County of Riverside Agricultural Commissioner's Office do not reflect a presence of cannabis products. New data has been added to the analysis, see Appendix B, Section 1.7.6.
31 3. Farmworkers
The draft Housing Element’s count of farmworkers also fails to acknowledge the number of farmworkers in nearby communities who would reside in Indio but for the lack of appropriate housing. Counting the number of farmworkers in the City, but not those in nearby communities does not permit future planners to properly assess needs.
The analysis of farmworkers has been updated to reflect the number of farmworkers in the region, see Appendix B, Section 1.7.6.

32 3. Farmworkers
The ACS does not include people who are engaged in the cultivation and harvest of cannabis, who should also be taken into consideration when identifying needs for farmworker housing.
The comment notes that ACS data does not account for workers engaged in the cultivation or harvest of cannabis. The City is limited to Federal, State, regional or County data as they do not have access to local data. Additionally, recent crop reports from the County of Riverside Agricultural Commissioner's Office do not reflect a presence of cannabis products.
33 3. Farmworkers
Lastly here, it should be noted that all but one current farmworker housing site rests within the Coachella Valley Unified School District – an historically underperforming school district. The one farmworker housing site that is not within CVUSD boundaries is restricted to former or current senior farmworkers who are unlikely to have children living with them. The Fred Young and Villa Hermosa apartments are in a part of the city that by all accounts is struggling. To provide opportunities for farmworkers, the City must make efforts to provide housing opportunities that can ensure prosperity through high-quality educational opportunities. Given that many farmworkers are monolingual, Latinos efforts must be made still to ensure that fair housing is furthered for farmworkers before this draft is adopted.
Programs in the Housing Element provide incentives for affordable housing which includes housing for farmworkers and their families. Additionally, the Sites Inventory and Analysis identified sites for lower-income households that are within moderate and high resource areas. See Appendix D, Section 5.3. Bilingual services were provided for all outreach materials and were also available during all meetings, see sections in Appendix F.
34 III. Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Government Code section 65583 The Draft Housing Element does not achieve the standard set forth in Government Code 65583 because the City has not conducted the requisite analysis or developed adequate programs to achieve the goal of replacing segregated living patterns with integrated and balanced living patterns.
The Sites Inventory and Analysis identifies sites in a manner that reverses concentrations of poverty by identifying moderate-income sites and increasing opportunities for lower-income sites in higher-resource areas. Please refer to Appendix D, Section 5.2.
AGENDA ITEM #10.1
Revised Resolution No. 10254 re-approving the revised version of Housing...Page 582 of 1245 Page | 19 City of Indio Appendix F: Community Engagement Summary
35 The Housing Element draft states that housing types in segregated communities are relatively consistent – i.e. apartments in majority Latino/Hispanic communities located between Indio Boulevard and I10 and single-family homes North of the 10. The City relies on several programs that strengthen the development of ADUs in single family neighborhoods to address patterns of segregation, however the City offers no market study as to the affordability of ADUs. In CRLA’s experience, these units are rented at market-rate and are just as challenging to maintain as any other type of rental unit and should not be considered a program that is realistically designed to ameliorate segregation.
Moreover, the programs targeting ADUs are designed to advance the wealth of the homeowner, and only tangentially, if at all address low-income housing needs. These programs must be supplemented by other strategies such as language access guarantees, equitably distributed zoning, deed restrictions, rent control, short term rental regulations, or inclusionary zoning ordinances.
The comment restates information including in the Housing Element. The comment incorrectly states that the City offers no market study as to the affordability of ADUs.
The Sites Analysis and Inventory of the Housing Element clearly states that ADU affordability assumptions were used from the SCAG Regional Accessory Dwelling Unit Affordability Analysis. The comment incorrectly states that "the programs targeting ADUs are designed to advance the wealth of the homeowner." Through Program 2, Accessory Dwelling Unit Assistance and Incentives, of the Housing Element, the City will adopt a program that incentivizes and promotes the creation of ADUs that can be offered specifically at an affordable rent for very low-, low-, or moderate-income households.
36 The City’s proffered “programs” of “assessing the feasibility of an inclusionary housing ordinance” and concomitant “fees” are illusory. The feasibility of an inclusionary housing ordinance has already been addressed the California State Supreme Court and they are deemed constitutional. These are not realistic programs.
The City will conduct a feasibility to ensure that an inclusionary requirement would not pose a constraint to development.
37 Nor does the City confront the reality that its primary branding moniker of “the City of Festivals” has created detrimental housing patterns. The Coachella Valley and Arts Festival held at the Empire Polo Grounds has given rise to a proliferation of short-term rentals in neighborhoods that are already racially and ethnically segregated. This draft should not be approved without a program to address the fact that some neighborhoods are used essentially as hotel districts that are bought and sold on cash offers that keep low income people and people of color beyond the reach of home ownership.
None of these points are raised in the draft Housing Element and the draft therefore fails to affirmatively further fair housing. The duty to affirmatively further fair housing must be incorporated into existing programs, and the HCD guidance provides several examples how housing programs can be modified to meet fair housing obligations.
Short-Term Rentals are a regulated use in the City for single-family dwellings. Short- Term Rentals are not permitted for many housing types that may be affordable to lower- and moderate-income households, including mobile homes, manufactured or prefabricated homes, and accessory dwelling units or junior accessory dwelling units.
The City is currently in the process of updating their Short-Term Rental Ordinance to address concerns being raised, and to establish regulations for the use of privately owned residential dwelling units as Short-Term Rentals to minimize secondary impacts of such uses on surrounding residential neighborhoods and to ensure the collection and payment of transient occupancy taxes.

Refer to attached public comment letters – Comment Letter 3 38 If half our population makes less than $75,300 (below moderate income), then why is most of the housing being built for the moderate and above moderate- income brackets (63%)?
Historically for the past 30 years, 90% of the homes built in Indio have been for theses upper income brackets. Thus, creating a consistent trend in displacement and housing burden on the lower income brackets.
Housing-element law requires local governments to adequately plan to meet their existing and projected housing needs, including their share of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). Local governments do not determine their own RHNA for the planning period. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65584.01, HCD is required to provide the determination of SCAG’s existing and projected housing need. Amongst other requirements, SCAG must subsequently inform all local governments of their share of new housing need to address their 6th Cycle Housing Element. 62% of the City's RHNA for the 6th Cycle planning period includes moderate- and above moderate-income units; however, the RHNA does not necessarily encourage or promote growth, but rather allows communities to anticipate growth, so that collectively the region and subregion can grow in ways that enhance quality of life, improve access to jobs, promotes transportation mobility, and addresses social equity and fair share housing needs. Local jurisdictions are not responsible for building the housing for their local or regional existing need and projected need. Localities must employ a sufficient number of strategies to assist in developing adequate housing to meet those needs.
39 If half the population of Indio are of low-income and of very low-income socioeconomic statuses, then the housing being developed should be proportional to those populations. It is not equitable to allocate only 38% of the 6th cycle’s housing developments for these lower-income populations, let alone equal.
The comment is comparing the existing population of the City with the "6th cycle’s housing developments." Housing Element takes a comprehensive approach that not only consider new development, but include resources for existing housing appropriate for lower-income households.

AGENDA ITEM #10.1
Revised Resolution No. 10254 re-approving the revised version of Housing...Page 584 of 1245 Page | 21 City of Indio Appendix F: Community Engagement Summary
40 “The City has identified a need for aggressive policies and programs that commit to providing a pathway for the development of housing for lower-income households. This Housing Element contains a series of policies and programs that demonstrate the City’s dedication to local pro-housing policies and the production of housing for all income levels, especially lower income households.”
This proposed intention is not supported by projections for housing developments (outlined above and broken down by percentages); not supported by proposed goals; not adequately outlined throughout the 34 proposed programs.
The comment states that the City's RHNA for the 6th Cycle planning period does not support the Housing Element's proposed intention. As previously explained, the City was informed of their share of new housing need to address their 6th Cycle Housing Element (RHNA) by SCAG following adoption of SCAG's 6th Cycle Final RHNA Allocation Plan approved by HCD on 3/22/21.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65583(b), the Housing Element shall include a statement of the community’s goals, quantified objectives and policies relative to the maintenance, preservation, improvement and development of housing. Effective programs reflect the results of the local housing need analyses, identification of available resources (including land and financing), and the mitigation of identified governmental and nongovernmental constraints, and not merely supported by the RHNA numbers. Local pro-housing policies and the indirect and direct production of housing will be pursued by the City through implementation of the Housing programs.
41 "Goal 1: An adequate supply and diverse range of housing types that aligns with the needs of all households."
With over 45% of homes being rent/mortgage burdened, proposing that 63% of homes be built for the moderate and above moderate incomes is not meeting the needs of all households.
Housing-element law requires local governments to adequately plan to meet their existing and projected housing needs, including their share of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).

42 "Goal 4: Quality rental and ownership housing opportunities for all income levels."
Quality of rental units is not ensured because there is no enforcement nor penalty for landowners when they do not maintain their rental properties in quality conditions.
Furthermore an ordinance should be put in place requiring all rental units to have adequate and fully functioning Air Conditioning, because in the desert A/C is a basic living need.
Program 8 has been revised. See Program 19.
43 "Goal 5: Enhanced quality of life, free from displacement."
The city’s disproportionate housing development proposals are directly contributing to housing displacement for lower-income households.
Disproportionate housing development proposals are considered a non- governmental constraint as the City does not directly control applications received.
However, the City can influence or help support the production and maintenance of affordable housing through programs in the Housing Element. Programs aimed to keep residence in place include Program 4, Affordable Homeownership Opportunities which aims to increase opportunities for homeownership for moderate- and lower-income households through collaboration with affordable housing developers; Program 18, Preservation of Existing Affordable Housing Units, in which the City will continue to work with the Riverside County Housing Authority to monitor affordable housing units identified as being at-risk of conversion to market-rate housing; And Program 19, Housing Rehabilitation, which provides housing rehabilitation support to eligible residents through the current Minor Home Repair Program. Other Programs that aim to incentive affordable housing include Program 7, By-Right development on qualifying sites identified to accommodate the lower- income RHNA units; Program 10, Density Bonus, review and amend its local density bonus program to ensure compliance with State requirements; Program 29, Reduced Parking Requirements.
44 "Goal 6: A city that promotes equality and inclusivity."
There is currently a dyer lack of adequate representation by our city’s governing body, which nor provides an equal nor inclusive experience/participation of the city’s residents, especially that of the majority of the population (lower-income households).
As previously mentioned, the City executed an in-depth community outreach program in Spanish and English as part of the Housing Element Update process. In addition, the City regularly works with several community organizations, including Coachella Valley Housing Coalition, Lift to Rise, Martha’s Village and Kitchen, Coachella Valley Rescue Mission, Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board, Inland County Legal Services Inc., and provides City Council and Planning Commission agendas in English and Spanish to promote equality and inclusivity, including for lower-income households, in the City's governing body and population.

45 How will the city enforce and make land-owners accountable for adhering to the following goals?
Goal 3: A well-maintained and preserved housing stock.
3.1 Encourage the maintenance and repair of existing owner and renter- occupied housing to prevent deterioration of the housing stock through educational resources, code enforcement, and funding resources.
3.2 Preserve and rehabilitate housing for lower income households, especially in affordable housing that is at-risk of converting to market-rate housing.
The comment asks how the referenced goal and policies will be enforced to make land-owners accountable. In general, housing goals express the desired future conditions for what the City and its residents hope to achieve over time, while policies are more specific, action-oriented statements that guides a specific course of action to achieve a desired goal. Housing programs are actions, procedures, programs or techniques that carry out the goals and policies. Program implementation actions include a combination of ordinances, programs, policies, resolutions, and incentives, as well as outreach and education activities. As included in the policies the commentor references, a wide range of actions may be pursued by the City to achieve Goal 3 of the Housing Element, including through educational resources, code enforcement, and funding resources.
Each program in the Housing Element clearly lists the relevant policies below the responsible agency and funding sources. Specifically, Policies 3.1 and 3.2 are considered relevant through the implementation of Programs 8, 14, 18, 19, 21, and
30. On a program-by-program basis, taking into consideration factual circumstances, decision makers will determine how best to implement the adopted policies of the Housing Element in any way which best serves the goal of having a well-maintained and preserved housing stock.
46 Specifically how will the city assist in the following item:
3.3 Assist older adults and those with special needs with home retrofits to increase accessibility.
See response to comment #46. Furthermore, see Programs 1, 11, 16, 28, and 30. 47 The following programs need to be further developed with intentional objectives and more efficient timeframes:
Program 4: Affordable Homeownership Opportunities
Objective(s) 4a: Continue to provide staff assistance with navigating development regulations.
Objective(s) 4b: Inform community members of opportunities to engage in creative ownership models as opportunities arise.
Program 4 is revised.

49 The city should go beyond simply analyzing impediments to fair housing choice; the city should be intentionally and aggressively seeking out impediments and should efficiently right such impediments found.
The comment notes that City should go beyond analyzing impediments, however, through the Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board contract, enforcement and services are available to City residents. Nevertheless, the City is committed to furthering fair housing and in addition to providing resources on their website, the City has updated Program 6 of the Housing Element to hold an annual housing forum for the discussion of the City’s progress towards the goals of the Housing Element, with additional focus on raising fair housing awareness. The housing forum will provide a platform where decision makers, members of the public, the development community, and other interested parties can work to elevate the discussion surrounding housing needs and solutions.

50 Allowing for “flexibility in development standards” and removing “minimum unit size requirements” is a direct threat and violation to providing hospitable living units. Smaller units in more dense housing complexes are breeding ground for violence, crime, and health hazards. Minimum unit size requirements should adhere to what is lawfully required by the state.
Program 23: Minimum Unit Sizes
To increase flexibility in development standards, the City will amend the zoning code to remove minimum unit size requirements. Minimum unit sizes will instead be mandated in accordance with Building Code requirements.
Objective(s) 23a: Amend the zoning code.
Timeframe 23a: Within one year of the Housing Element’s adoption.
Staff and their consultants could not find evidence to support the claim that dense housing breeds violence, crime and health hazards.
Large minimum unit size requirements can pose as a constraint to development. The program removes these barriers. The comment states that minimum unit size requirements should adhere to what is lawfully required by the state. The program clearly defers to minimum unit size requirements mandated in accordance with Building Code requirements which adopts the California Building Code by reference.
Therefore, the comment is restating the objective of the Program. 51 The city should create incentivized programs for landowners to convert more homes into section 8 housing units. The homes should maintained at livable quality standards by the landowners and renters should not create excessive damages beyond the expected standard wear-and-tear.
Program 32: Section 8: Housing Choice Voucher
The City will continue participation with the Riverside County Housing Authority to connect eligible Indio residents to Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers. The City will provide information on the City's website on the availability of Section 8 programs and other relevant resources.
Objective(s) 32a: Update the City’s website with relevant information and resources.
Objective(s) 32b: Increase coordination with the Housing Authority.
Timeframe 32a: Year 1
Timeframe 32b: On-going
Section 8 vouchers are administered by the County. The City has committed to increase coordination with the County.
