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

AGENDA ITEM #10.1
Revised Resolution No. 10254 re-approving the revised version of Housing... Page 1052 of 1245 Page | 3 City of Indio Appendix F: Community Engagement Summary

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

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

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).

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 the City with the IID Regulations. 8 For additional information regarding electrical service for the project, the applicant should be advised to contact the IID Energy - La Quinta Division Customer Operations, 81-600 Avenue 58 La Quinta, CA 92253, at (760) 398- 5811 and speak with the project development planner assigned to the area.

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 1062 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 1063 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 analysis of farmworkers has been updated to reflect the number of farmworkers in the region, see Appendix B, Section 1.7.6.

AGENDA ITEM #10.1
Revised Resolution No. 10254 re-approving the revised version of Housing...Page 1067 of 1245 Page | 18 City of Indio Appendix F: Community Engagement Summary

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 1068 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 1070 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.

AGENDA ITEM #10.1
Revised Resolution No. 10254 re-approving the revised version of Housing...Page 1071 of 1245 Page | 22 City of Indio Appendix F: Community Engagement Summary

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.

AGENDA ITEM #10.1
Revised Resolution No. 10254 re-approving the revised version of Housing...Page 1072 of 1245 Page | 23 City of Indio Appendix F: Community Engagement Summary

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.

48 The city should be creating opportunities; attracting developers that prioritize and meet affordable housing needs for lower-income and working-class households.

Timeframe 4a-b: On-going
Program 5: Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice Objective(s) 5a: Maintain an Adopted Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice as may be required.

Objective(s) 5b: Create fair housing outreach materials and informational resources to post online.

Timeframe 5a: Ongoing; Update to the City’s Analysis of Impediments every 3 to 5 years.

Timeframe 5b: Within 3 to 5 years.

See Programs 1, 4, 15, 18, 20, 21, 27, 33, 35, and 37
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.

AGENDA ITEM #10.1
Revised Resolution No. 10254 re-approving the revised version of Housing...Page 1074 of 1245 Page | 25 City of Indio Appendix F: Community Engagement Summary

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.

price range
T op 3 most urgent housing
concerns: affordability,
availability and gentrification
Most pressing displacement
concerns: sudden rent increase,
lease termination, long term
residents can’t stay in community
Need for more: single-family,
condos (ownership),
apartments (rentals), ADUs
and duplex/attached
Best strategies for meeting RHNA
(in order):
o Require affordable housing in all
new projects
o Increase allowable density
o Allow taller buildings w/ more units
o Eliminate single family

zoning
Key Issues Current housing stock is not
meeting the needs of below-
moderate Income residents
Current housing trends are not
providing for the below-moderate
income population
Lack of housing diversity
reflected in the majority that
is zoned for single-family
Current annual average housing

Revised Resolution No. 10254 re-approving the revised version of Housing... Page 1149 of 1245 29 Infill First. Focus on target
subareas: Downtown, Midtown,
42nd Street, Highway 111, and
surrounding neighborhoods.

Key Considerations and Strategies
Change Areas. Maximize capacity
of change areas first (see figure).

Diversify. Integrate a range of
housing types within compact,
walkable neighborhoods.
30 Focus on LI and VLI. Policy LU-7.3 says
“Ensure affordable housing is
distributed throughout the City to avoid
concentrations of poverty and to be
accessible to jobs. ”
However, 50% of the City’s land is
designated single family, and current
housing stock is only affordable to
above-moderate residents.

SUBJECT: NOi to Adopt an ND for the Indio Housing Development Update Dear Mr. Snyder:
www.iid.com
Since1911
On August 24, 2021, the Imperial Irrigation District received from the City of Indio Community Development Services Department, the Notice of Intent to adopt a Negative Declaration for the Indio Housing Development Update. The City of Indio proposes to amend the City of Indio General Plan 2040 to update the Housing Element, which addresses the comprehensive housing needs in Indio for the 8-year planning period 2021-2029 and provides an analysis of the local housing needs for all income levels, details barriers to providing needed housing and identifies a set of strategies for meeting the housing need within the planning period.

The IID has reviewed the update information and has the following comments:

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 refelct that the IID provides electric power and services for city of Indio and not SCE.

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.

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.
1 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.

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,
2 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.

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.3
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.4 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 Draft Housing Element similarly does not into consideration the economic impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic has and will continue to incur, in particular the adverse effects on communities of color and low-income families.

Page 4 of 7 ends

This section, therefore, does not comply with statutory intent to facilitate the improvement and development of housing to make adequate provision for the housing needs of all economic segments of the community and should be revised prior to adoption.5
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.

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 over- crowding, overpayment, vacancy rates, housing costs or housing stock characteristics.

The City’s Draft Housing Element cannot be lawfully adopted without an appropriate analysis.

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.

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.

1. Persons with Disabilities

5 See Government Code section 65580

AGENDA ITEM #10.1

Page 5 of 7 ends

The Draft Housing Element relies only on data from the ACS, which suffers from undercount.6 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.

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 de- institutionalization 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 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.

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 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. 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 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 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.

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.

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 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

AGENDA ITEM #10.1

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 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

7. These are not realistic programs.

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.

Esteemed Housing Development Team,
Thank yo
u for this opportunity in allowing city residents to provide feedback and input into the planning process for the city’s 6th housing development cycle. In the following document you will find my feedback indicated in the bold font. For clear reference I have imbedded excerpts of the plan along with my feedback. I hope you find this feedback insightful and helpful.

I look
forward to any follow up discussions regarding the final revisions before submission of the plan to the state.

Thank yo

Priscilla Beas Ludena
The Ci
ty’s 6th cycle RHNA targets are broken down by income level as follows:
• Very-Low Income = 1,793 (23%)
• Low Income = 1,170 (15%)
• Moderate Income = 1,315 (16.8%)
• Above Moderate Income = 3,534 (47%)
• Total: 7,812
Area Median Income 100% $75,300
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.

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 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.

AGENDA ITEM #10.1
Revised Resolution No. 10254 re-approving the revised version of Housing... Page 1239 of 1245 P.B.L. 2

The following goals do not align with the City’s 6th cycle RHNA targets and proposed intention (“dedication to local pro-housing policies and the production of housing for all income levels, especially lower income households.”):
• Goal 1: An adequate supply and diverse range of housing types that aligns with the needs of all households.
o 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.
• Goal 4: Quality rental and ownership housing opportunities for all income levels. o 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
o 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.
• Goal 5: Enhanced quality of life, free from displacement. o The city’s disproportionate housing development proposals are directly contributing to housing displacement for lower-income households. • Goal 6: A city that promotes equality and inclusivity. o 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).

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.

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.

The following programs need to be further developed with intentional objectives and more efficient timeframes:

Program 4: Affordable Homeownership Opportunities

Page 985 of 990 ends

AGENDA ITEM #10.1
Revised Resolution No. 10254 re-approving the revised version of Housing... Page 1240 of 1245 P.B.L. 3

Objective(s) 4a: Continue to provide staff assistance with navigating development regulations.
4b: Inform community members of opportunities to engage in creative ownership models as opportunities arise.

The city should be creating opportunities; attracting developers that prioritize and meet affordable housing needs for lower-income and working-class households.

Timeframe 4a-b: On-going

Program 5: Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice Objective(s) 5a: Maintain an Adopted Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice as may be required.
5b: Create fair housing outreach materials and informational resources to post online.

Timeframe 5a: Ongoing; Update to the City’s Analysis of Impediments every 3 to 5 years. 5b: Within 3 to 5 years.

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.

Objective(s) 23a: Amend the zoning code.

Timeframe 23a: Within one year of the Housing Element’s adoption.

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.

Objective(s) 32a: Update the City’s website with relevant information and resources. 32b: Increase coordination with the Housing Authority.

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.

Timeframe 32a: Year 1
32b: On-going

Revised Resolution No. 10254 re-approving the revised version of Housing... Page 1242 of 1245

2 Upon reviewing the housing element update there are several areas that Communities for a New California Education Fund (CNC EF) would like to bring to your attention. CNC EF has reviewed CRLA’s comment letter and is in agreement with the aspects mentioned that deem the housing element not satisfying HCD guidelines and therefore should not be compliant with state housing law. These elements include: Inadequate Public Participation and Public Access Government Code section 65583(c)(8), Analysis of Population and Employment Trends Government Code section 65583(a)(1), Analysis and Documentation of Households Government Code 65583(a)(2), Analysis of Special Needs Housing Government Code 65583(a)(7), and Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Government Code section 65583.

Furthermore, CNC EF has identified other areas that we would like to uplift in an effort to better understand the process by which the City of Indio intends to meet the policies, goals, and objectives outlined in the housing element.

1. Hosting additional community meetings (in-person and virtually)

Additional community meetings should be offered in both English and Spanish that take place on different days for proper review of the housing element update draft and key updates that have been included before being presented at the City’s Planning Commission’s public hearing in December 2021.

This will provide community residents with a better understanding of the updates that have been made to the Housing Element as well as an opportunity to have more knowledge and comprehens ion of the spe cific policies, goals, and objectives . These community meetings will also provide a timeline with important dates and additional opportunities for public feedback and engagement in this process. We request that these meetings be publicized on the City’s webpage in both languages and via other platforms to cast a wider net and generate public interest. CNC EF will commit to assist with outreach in promoting these community meetings on our social media platforms and community outreach activities such as phone calls, text messages, and door-to-door canvassing.

2. Encourage that the housing development outcomes meet the RHNA allocations in all income categories.

Based on the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA), Indio’s allocation between 2013-2020 were largely unmet. More specifically, in relation to very low-income, low- income, and moderate-income housing with only 186 units being built out of 1,754. Less than 10% of housing built in the City of Indio over the last 8 years was targeted to low - income households and working families while 90.9% of housing built was for above moderate-income households. This has created an unbalanced and inequitable housing situation which is further compounded by high housing costs and a lack of affordable housing options.

Referencing the Draft Housing Element, City of Indio Community Profile – 1.5.4 Overpayment (Table s 16-17) many households are burdened with overpayment for housing costs. “Households in the extremely low-income category (earning 30 percent or less of AMI) are the most burdened by housing costs with 65 percent of these households falling into the severe overpayment category.” The data clearly illustrates the need to focus

Page 988 of 990 ends

AGENDA ITEM #10.1
Revised Resolution No. 10254 re-approving the revised version of Housing... Page 1243 of 1245

3 on affordability and that new housing development projects meet the RHNA allocations of each of the categories of income group being targeted with priority given to very low- income households.

The current RHNA allocations state that the City must plan for the production of 7,812 housing units between 2021 and 2029; 2,963 or 38% of the housing units must be affordable. Additionally, the City’s new Housing Element must plan for 1,793 affordable housing units for very low-income households for those earning less than 50% of the regional average median income and 1,170 affordable housing units for those earning between 50% and 80% of the regional average median income.

The City must wholeheartedly prioritize very low -income and low-income households in order to meet the RHNA allocations. Strategies #3 and #4 outlined below provide examples on how to expand affordable housing and provide long-term affordable housing options especially for low-income households. These policies will facilitate the City’s ability to earn a pro-housing designation and become eligible for various state funding programs.

3. Develop a policy to end exclusionary zoning is one step towards expanding affordable housing.

The City of Indio would need to update its general plan and reform its zoning laws to go from allowing exclusively single-family homes in certain areas to a wider variety of housing types. This would allow for the development of duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes and provide more options for low -income residents. Th us, eliminat ing the cost burden associated with high housing costs and rising rents. For example, developing affordable housing in higher opportunity neighborhoods (North of the I-10). Currently, there are only single-family homes that consist of mostly gated communities but no affordable housing developments in this area.

The California legislature recently passed, and sent to Governor Newsom, SB 9 and SB 10, which respectively would “require cities to allow property owners to split their single - family lots and put two homes on each lot,” and “allows city councils to re -zone a single- family lot with up to 10 housing units, even if local land -use restrictions prohibit it.” SB10 provides governments with access to a streamlined zoning process for achieving this.

SB9 has legalized duplexes on any parcels previously zoned for single -family, and has legalized lot splits to create up to 4 parcels from what was previously one. This means that plots of land that previously allowed for only one home to be built can now potentially hold 8 units, and because SB 9 preempts local zoning regulations, these are now the rules across the state. Signed into law on Sept 16th 2021.

SB 10 gives local governments the option to adopt new zoning processes that make it easier and faster for multi-unit housing to be built near transit or urban infill areas. The bill allows local governments to pass ordinances to zone any parcel for up to 10 units if located in a transit-rich or urban infill area. SB 10 allows, but doesn't require local governments to create this streamlined process to incentivize transit -oriented development and development in certain areas. Signed into law Sept 16th 2021.

4 There is no mention of SB 9 and SB 10 in the Housing Element and the opportunities it will create for new affordable housing. CNC EF requests that you include language related to potential strategies in which SB 9 and SB 10 can support the attainment of the RHNA allocations, in particular for the 2,963 or 38% of the housing units that must be affordable.

4. Enact Inclusionary Zoning Laws: Require developers to increase the number of residences set aside for affordable housing.

When developers increase home units for affordable housing this is a practice that creates inclusionary housing. Generally, cities establish basic requirements for each housing development that must be set aside for renters or sold at affordable prices. These programs are essential because they provide long -term affordable housing options especially for low-income households.

Proposals to look to/consider: On July 24, 2018, the Montgomery County Council (MD) passed new legislation requiring developers of larger residential projects (20 units or more) to designate 15 percent of these living spaces as moderately priced dwellings units.

This program targets households earning 50 and 70 percent of area median income (AMI).

In Montgomery County, the AMI is currently $117,200 for a family of four, according to the Department of Housing and Community Affairs. That means a fou r-person household earning between $58,600 and $82,040 a year is eligible for the program; additionally, this program caps rents at 30 percent of their income. While this particular program helps to expand access to affordable housing for households of modest income, it’s a framework that can be utilized to provide housing for low-income households in the nation’s wealthiest areas.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to review these comments on behalf of CNC EF.

It is critical that the City of Indio i dentify concrete and creative strategies to meet the housing needs of community residents across all income categories. Many working families are at risk of being displaced and the pandemic has only created more financial instability and lack of security. Everyone deserves access to a healthy and safe home.

CNC EF is a trusted messenger in the community with ten years of experience and expertise. If you need assistance in engaging community residents in this process, please count on our support.
