HOUSING ELEMENT SURVEYS
The  City  hosted  two  online  Housing  Element  surveys  which  were  available  from  October  2020  through January 2021. The surveys asked for input on the community’s housing priorities and strategies to address La  Verne’s  future  housing  growth  needs.  The  surveys  received  24  and  19  responses,  respectively,  and focused  on  issues  of  home  mai
ntenance,  affordability,  home  type,  living  conditions,  and  community priorities related to housing. A summary of the key survey results related to fair housing is provided belowA summary  of  the  key  survey  results  is  provided  in  the  Housing  Element  Introduction  section,  with  the complete results included in Appendix B.

La Verne Housing Element Background Report | 2021-2029
123  Housing Element Background Report 2021‐2029 | City of La Verne

Issues that residents rated as most important to them include:
 Rehabilitate existing housing (100%)
 Ensure that children who grow up in La Verne can afford to live in La Verne as adults (94%)  Promote affordable housing for working families (88%)  Support fair/equitable housing opportunities (81%)
 Establish  programs  to  help  at‐risk  homeowners  keep  their  homes,  including  mortgage  loan programs (77%)
 Support programs  to  help  maintain  and  secure  neighborhoods  that  have  suffered  foreclosures (71%)
Regarding housing maintenance, of resident responses, approximately 29% of respondents answered that their  residence  showed  signs  of  minor  deferred  maintenance  such  as  peeling  paint  or  chipped  stucco.

Approximately 13% of residents indicated that their home needed one or more major systems upgrades such as a new roof or windows. The remaining 4% indicated that their home needed one or more modest rehabilitation improvements such as a new roof or new wood siding. When asked, “What types of housing are  most  needed  in  the  City  of  La  Verne?”,  the  most  common  answer  was  that  single‐family  detached homes were most needed (54%), followed by condominiums (38%), other (25%), duplex/attached housing (21%), apartments (21%), housing for  people with  disabilities (13%), senior housing (8%), and accessory dwelling units (4%).

The  second  survey  related  to  housing  priorities  and  had  two  questions.  The  survey  responses  reveal information  about  housing  needs  in  La  Verne.  When  asked,  “How  important  are  the  following  housing priorities to you and your family?” respondents were most likely to identify the following factors as being very important or somewhat important:
 Rehabilitate existing housing (100%)
 Ensure that children who grow up in La Verne can afford to live in La Verne (94%)  Housing affordable to working families (88%)
 Support fair/equitable housing opportunities (81%)
 Establish  programs  to  help  at‐risk  homeowners  keep  their  homes,  including  mortgage  loan programs (77%)
 Support programs  to  help  maintain  and  secure  neighborhoods  that  have  suffered  foreclosures (71%)
 Provide ADA‐accessible housing (65%)
 Provide more housing for all income levels (59%)
 Build more single‐family housing (59%)
 Build more multi‐family housing (apartments, condos, etc.) (53%) While still important for some individuals, respondents were less likely to identify the following factors as being very important or somewhat important:
 Integrate affordable housing throughout the community to create mixed‐income neighborhoods (41%)
 Encourage more senior housing (41%)
 Provide housing for homeless (29%)

ADVERTISEMENTS
The City of La Verne maintains various social media accounts including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Nextdoor. Starting in October 2020, and continuing throughout the Housing Element Update project, the City posted updates to its social media platforms advertising opportunities to provide input and alerting the public to upcoming meetings and workshops related to the project.

EM
AILS
The  project  team  compiled  a  database  of  community  members  and  stakeholders  who  registered  to  be notified via email of future public engagement opportunities and key deliverables. Direct emails were sent to these individuals to publicize the Virtual Community Workshops, the Housing Surveys, and the Public Review Draft 2021‐2029 Housing El ement.

6B. Assessment of Fair Housing Issues
This section presents an overview of available federal, state, and local data to analyze fair housing issues in La  Verne.  This  data  is  supplemented  with  local  knowledge  of  existing  conditions  in  the  community  to present a more accurate depiction of fair housing issues in La Verne, and a more informed perspective from which to base goals, polici
es, and programs to affirmatively further fair housing.

KEY DATA AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION
La  Verne  is  a  participating  city  in  the  Los  Angeles  Urban  County  and  is  served  by  the  Community Development Commission (CDC), which provides wide‐ranging programs related to affordable housing and community and economic development including the Comm
unity  Development Block Grant (CDBG) and
HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) programs. The CDC prepared an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) in 2018 to fulfill its HUD requirement and remove barriers to fair housing choice for all residents within the service area covered by the AI, including the City of La Verne. The AI examined policies, procedures,  and  practice
s  within  the  Urban  County  that  may  limit  a  person’s ability  to  choose  their residence free from discrimination. The AI provided an overview of laws, regulations, conditions, or other possible obstacles that may affect an individual or a household’s access to housing in th e Urban County. It also  presented  local  and  regional  demographic  profiles,  assessed  the  extent  of  housing  needs  among specific groups, identified existing barriers or impediments that may limit housing choice, and proposed actions to overcome those barriers. The AI is one source of information regarding fair housing issues in La Verne and the region.

The  City’s d
emographic  and  income  profile,  household  and  housing  characteristics,  housing  cost  and availability, and special needs populations are discussed in previous sections of this Background Report. No barriers to fair housing choice specific to La Verne were identified in the 2018 AI. Supplemental data analysis was condu
cted to further understand potential fair housing issues, within the context of AFH topics, at the city‐level. La Verne is comprised of nine census tracts, although three are only partially located in La Verne.

Figure 6–1 shows the census tract boundaries.

FAIR HOUSING ENFORCEMENT AND OUTREACH CAPACITY
The Community Development Commission’s 2018 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) was prepared in October 2017 and is a thorough examination of structural barriers to fair housing choice and access to opportunity for members of historically marginalized groups protected from discrimination by the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA).

To ensure th e AI accurately reflected the Urban County’s needs, community participation was promoted through  five  main  avenues:  regional  discussion  groups;  three  sets  of  four  focus  groups  each,  aimed  to address  disability  and  access,  education,  employment  and  transportation,  and  healthy  neighborhoods; Resident Advisory Board Meetings; community input meetings; and the 2017 Re sident  Fair Housing Survey.

The AI describes the departments and organizations that handle fair housing enforcement and outreach in the  Urban  County,  in  which  La  Verne  is  included.  The  California  Department  of  Fair  Employment  and Housing  (DFEH)  investigates  complaints  of  employment  and  housing  discrimination.  The  Housing  Rights Center (HRC) provides services to La Verne to ensure equal access to housing. The HRC is the nation's largest non‐profit civil rights organization dedicated to securing and promoting Fair Housing and serves Los Angeles County and Ventura County, including the residents of La Verne. The HRC’s services include outreach and education,  homebuyer  education,  mortgage  default  counseling,  landlord‐tenant  mediation,  and  limited low‐cost advocacy. The Fair Housing Council investigates claims of housing discrimination and assists with referrals to DFEH.

The Housing Rights Center (HRC) provides free services to La Verne residents for questions and inquiries regarding  rights  and  responsibilities  between  landlords  and  tenants.  Residents  can  contact  HRC  to  get information on different fair housing services such as just cause protection, right to lease, and relocation assistance  to  better  understand  their  rights  as  a  tenant.  Information  and  counseling  appointments  are accessible via phone or online; offices are currently closed due to COVID‐19. HRC also provides a monthly rental listing publication that provides an updated list of affordable housing developers and companies that provide  information  on  current  and  future  affordable  housing  opportunities;  contact   information   for properties  with  available  affordable units; contact  information  for  housing  that  is  reserved  for  seniors and/or veterans, or offers services targeted to seniors and/or veterans; and information  about    financial assistance,  temporary shelters, transitional programs, and other housing resources.

It is noted that while City staff directs fair housing inquiries to HRC, the City currently does not provide information regarding fair housing inquiries and rights at City Hall or on its website and City staff does not receive regular training related to fair housing rights and requirements. Further, HRC does not regularly provide the City with a report that identifies the number of inquiries, specific concerns, and resolution to inquiries  made  by  La  Verne’s  residents  and  landlords.  As  part  of  this  Housing  Element  Update,  the  City requested  information  from  HRC  regarding  recent  inquiries  related  to  fair  housing  in  La  Verne  and  was provided with the following data. For the 2019‐2020 Fiscal Year (July 2019 to June 2020), HRC provided direct services to 17 residents in La Verne. Of these, two residents received counseling services based on discrimination inquiries. The other 15 residents were provided tenant/landlord services for housing issues including late fees, lease terms, notices, rent increases, repairs, Section 8 information, security deposits, seeking housing, and substandard conditions. For the 17 cases, the demographic breakdown was as follows:
by race, eight white (47%) and nine other (53%); by ethnicity, four Mexican/Chicano (24%) and 13 non‐ Mexican/Chicano  (76%);  by  income,  13  extremely  low  income  (76%),  three  low  income  (18%),  and  one moderate income (6%); by special needs groups, seven disabled (37%), five government subsidized (26%), and seven senior (37%); and 15 in‐place tenants (88%), one landlord (6%), and one rental homeseeker (6%).

For the 2020‐2021 Fiscal Year (July 2020 to June 2021), HRC provided direct services to nine residents in La Verne.  Of  these,  one  resident  received  counseling  services  based  on  discrimination  inquiries.  The  other eight residents were provided tenant/landlord services for housing issues including general information, lockout, repairs, Section 8 information, seeking housing, and substandard conditions. For the nine cases, November 21, 2022, City Council Meeting

the demographic breakdown was as follows: by race, one African‐American (11%), one white (11%) and seven  other  (78%);  by  ethnicity,  one  Mexican/Chicano  (11%)  and  eight  non‐Mexican/Chicano  (89%);  by income, nine extremely low income (100); by special needs groups, one disabled (17%), one government subsidized (17%), and four senior (67%); and seven in‐place tenants (88%), one landlord (6%), and one rental homeseeker (6%). Based on this data, a wide variety of demographic groups in La Verne utilize HRC’s fair housing services; however, special attention should be given to renters, low and extremely low income, and special needs groups, who make up a larger proportion of fair housing service users.

The HCD Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Data Viewer (AFFH Viewer) provides information regarding federal Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) cases by County for the 2006 to 2020 period and also identifies fair housing inquiries by City based on federal HUD data. The AFFH Viewer indicates that there were 291 cases filed in Los Angeles County in the 2006‐2010 period, of which 80 had a racial bias, 106 had a disability bias, and 58 had a familial status bias. In the 2020 period (which is indicated to reflect 2006‐ 2020, but does not appear to include the 2010 period cases), there were 130 cases filed in Los Angeles County, including 27 with a racial bias, 86 with a disability bias, and nine with a familial status bias.  While there is not data for cases filed related to La Verne, the AFFH Viewer indicates that 13 FHEO inquiries for La Verne were received from 2013 to 2021, of which two inquiries were based on disability, two were based on race, two were based on familial status, two were based on sex, and five were based on “none.” Five of these inquiries were found to have no valid issue for the inquiry.

According to the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing 2020 Annual Report, 880 housing complaints  were  filed  in  2020,  with  the  top  bases  for  housing  complaints  surrounding  disability  (73.9 percent),  race  (20.1  percent),  requested  or  used  a  disability‐related  accommodation  (12.7  percent), sex/gender (12.7 percent), and familial status (12.0 percent) (note that the total number of bases exceeds the total number of cases because a complaint may be filed on more than one basis).8 Of the total housing complaints filed in 2020, the majority (294) were from Los Angeles County residents.

While there appears to be adequate capacity for HRC and DFEH to respond to fair housing inquiries, based on the data available, additional outreach and education is needed, particularly at the local level. Annual training  of  City  staff  should  occur  to  ensure  fair  housing  practices  are  maintained  in  La  Verne  and information should be made available at City Hall, on the City’s website, and via the City’s social media on a regular basis to ensure the community is aware of fair housing rights and methods to address fair housing concerns.  Based  on  the  wide  diversity  of  fair  housing  inquiries  as  described  above,  outreach  should  be broadly based, with a targeted focus on renters, low and extremely low income, and special needs groups.

Programs 25 26 and 27 28 have been included to work with fair housing enforcement organizations and agencies to track issues and identify patterns in the City.

The City of La Verne complies with fair housing laws and regulations as described in Table 6‐1 shows the full list of indicators.

TABLE 6‐16–1: COMPLIANCE WITH FAIR HOUSING LAWS
Law Description Compliance
California Fair Employment
and Housing Act (FEHA)
The Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA)
applies to public and private employers, labor
organizations and employment agencies. It is
illegal for employers of 5 or more employees to
discriminate against job applicants and
employees because of a protected category or
retaliate against them because they have
asserted their rights under the law. The FEHA
prohibits harassment based on a protected
category against an employee, an applicant, an
unpaid intern or volunteer, or a contractor.

Harassment is prohibited in all workplaces, even
those with fewer than five employees.

Compliance is achieved through strict
enforcement in hiring practices and regular
training of and by Human Resources staff.

Government Code Section
65008
Covers actions of a city, county, city and county,
or other local government agency, and makes
those actions null and void if the action denies an
individual or group of individuals the enjoyment of
residence, landownership, tenancy, or other land
use in the state because of membership in a
protected class, the method of financing, and/or
the intended occupancy. For example, a violation
under Government Code section 65008 may
occur if a jurisdiction applied more scrutiny to
reviewing and approving an affordable
development as compared to market-rate
developments, or multifamily housing as
compared to single family homes.

Compliance is achieved by uniform
application of the City ’s codes, regulations,
policies and practices, including
development standards, design guidelines,
application submittal requirements, fees
and approval findings.

Government Code Section
8899.50
Requires all public agencies to administer
programs and activities relating to housing and
community development in a manner to
affirmatively further fair housing and avoid any
action that is materially inconsistent with its
obligation to affirmatively further fair housing.

Compliance is achieved through
consultations with community stakeholders
and support agencies as part of program
evaluating and funding decisions. The 6th
Cycle Housing Element Housing Plan
describes how each Program addresses fair
housing issues and contributing factors.

Government Code Section
11135 et seq.

Requires full and equal access to all programs
and activities operated, administered, or funded
with financial assistance from the state,
regardless of one’s membership or perceived
membership in a protected class.

Compliance is achieved through
promotion/availability of activities and
programs to all persons of all backgrounds
to participate equally in community
programs and activities.

Density Bonus Law (Gov.

Code, § 65915.)
Density bonus law is intended to support the
construction of affordable housing by offering
developers the ability to construct additional
housing units above an agency’s otherwise
applicable density range, in exchange for offering
to build or donate land for affordable or senior
units. Density Bonus Law also provides for

of affordable and senior housing economically
feasible.

Bonus Program at City Hall, the City’s
website and other public spaces to increase
awareness.

Housing Accountability Act
(Gov. Code, § 65589.5.)
Provides that a local agency shall not disapprove
a housing development project, for very low, low,
or moderate-income households, or an
emergency shelter, or condition approval in a
manner that renders the housing development
project infeasible for development for the use of
very low, low-, or moderate-income households,
or an emergency shelter, including through the
use of design review standards, unless it makes
certain written findings, based upon a
preponderance of the evidence in the record.

Compliance is achieved through the
development review process with is
completed consistent with the Housing
Accountability Act. Additionally, the Housing
Plan includes Program 14, Remove
Government Constraints, which requires the
City to update the Zoning Code to remove
constraints to a variety of housing types and
ensure the City’s standards and permitting
requirements are consistent with State law.

This includes updating the Zoning Code to
ensure eligible multi-family projects with an
affordable component are provided
streamlined review.

No-Net-Loss Law (Gov.

Code, § 65863)
Ensures development opportunities remain
available throughout the planning period to
accommodate a jurisdiction’s regional housing
need assessment (RHNA) allocation, especially
for lower- and moderate- income households.

The City’s draft Housing Element identifies
a surplus of sites with a capacity to
accommodate the City’s RHNA allocation.

Program 22 of the Housing Element
Housing Plan requires City staff to annually
monitor the depletion of residential acreage,
and review proposed development projects,
to ensure an adequate inventory is available
to meet the City’s 2021-2029 RHNA
obligations. The City will develop and
implement a formal ongoing (project-by-
project) evaluation procedure pursuant to
Government Code Section 65863 and will
make the findings required by that code
section if a site is proposed for development
with fewer units or at a different income
level(s) than shown in the Housing Element
Site Inventory.

Least Cost Zoning Law (Gov.

Code, § 65913.1)
Provides that, in exercising its authority to zone for
land uses and in revising its housing element, a
city, county, or city and county shall designate and
zone sufficient vacant land for residential use with
appropriate standards, in relation to zoning for
nonresidential use, and in relation to growth
projections of the general plan to meet housing
needs for all income categories as identified in the
housing element of the general plan.

Compliance is achieved through the
implementation of Housing Element
Housing Plan Program 21 which ensures
that the City has sufficient land appropriately
zoned to accommodate the City’s RHNA at
all income levels for the duration of the
planning period.

ACTIONS TAKEN TO OVERCOME IMPEDIMENTS
The Housing Rights Center (HRC) receives a multi‐year grant from HUD to conduct systemic testing in areas within  the  Urban  County  where  statistics  point  to  any  form  of  discrimination  covered  by  applicable  fair housing laws and, in particular, persistent housing  discrimination based on race, national origin, familial status, and di sability.  As of 2014 (the year cited in the AI) the HRC had been awarded a grant in the amount of $325,000 to perform these actions.

In addition to the HUD grant, the HRC has a contract with the Community Development Commission for a variety  of  services  addressing  private  sector  impediments,  such  as  providing  education  an d  training  to housing providers on fair housing, distributing 16,000 pieces of fair housing literature annually, and hosting no less than three special events per year to inform the public about fair housing matters.

According to the HRC’s 4th Quarter Performance Report for Fiscal Year 2014‐2015, there were a total of 3,490 clients to whom dir
ect service was given and a total of 160,160 points of contact for outreach and education efforts. According to the HRC’s report for the 2015‐2016 Fiscal Year, the number of clients who were provided direct service fell slightly to 3,239, while the points of contac t for outreach and education climbed to 191,229. Furthermore, the CDC continues the process of addressing impediments to fair housing in the public sector for the Urban County.

PATTERNS OF INTEGRATION AND SEGREGATION
To inform priorities, policies, and actions, La Verne has included an analysis of integration and segregation, including  patterns  and  trends,  related  to  people  with  protected  characteristics.  Segregation  generally means a condition in which there is a high concentration of persons of a particular race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin, or having a disabili ty or a particular type of disability when compared to a broader  geographic  area.  Conversely,  integration  refers  to  a  condition  in  which  there  is  not  a  high concentration of persons of a particular race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin, or having a disability when compared to a broader geograp hic area. The following analyzes levels of segregation and integration for race and ethnicity, persons with disabilities, familial status, age, and income to identify the groups in La Verne that experience the highest levels of segregation.

Diversity
Tracking the diversity of cities and counties throughout California is crucial to u nderstanding  the shifting demographics of race and ethnicity in California and the United States. Esri’s Diversity Index captures the racial  and  ethnic  diversity  of  a  geographic  area  in  a  single  number,  from  0  to  100.  Scores  less  than  40 represent  lower  diversity  in  the  jurisdiction  while  scores  of  greater  than  85  represent  higher  diversity.

Additionally, scores between 40‐55 represent low diversity, 55‐70 represent moderate diversity, and 70‐85 represent high diversity. As shown in Figure 6–2, in 2018 the City of La Verne had a similar diversity index score to much of the surrounding areas. While no census block groups are considered lower diversity areas in La Verne, the City of Claremont (to the east) has a small pocket of lower levels of diversity and the City of Pomona (to the south) has areas of higher diversity than the City of La Ver ne. The City’s diversity index is largely divided north and south with census tracts in the southern part of the City having higher diversity scores (70‐85) than census tracts in the northern part of the City (55‐70). Figure 6–3 shows the diversity index scores for the City of La Verne in 2010. Comparing Figure 6–2 and Figure 6–3, there have been an increase in the diversity index scores in the City in several census tracts in the central and northern areas of the City.

In the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) region, northern areas in Los Angeles and Riverside Counties have a higher percentage of residents that identify as Hispanic than White. This trend differs from more southern areas of the SCAG region, as illustrated in Figure 6–4.

Table 6‐2 shows the demographic trends over time for the City and Los Angeles County. Generally, as shown in  Table  6‐2,  the  growth  of  non‐White  residents  in  La  Verne  has  been  slower  compared  to  Los  Angeles County. For example, since 1990, the percentage of population that are Hispanic residents has increased in the City from 18.4% to 36.1% compared to the County which has increased from 37.8% to 48.4%.

As discussed in the Needs Assessment section of the Housing Element Background Report, approximately 14%  percent  of  La  Verne’s population  in  2019  had  at  least  one  disability,  and  50%  percent  of  those individuals  were  seniors,  who  are  more  likely  to  have  an  ambulatory,  visual,  or  hearing  disability.  This reflects the SCAG region. The rate of disability is divided in the City, with a slightly higher concentration in the southern area of La Verne, south of the 210 Freeway (Figure 6–5). The rate of disability in La Verne is similar to the surrounding cities and mos
t suburban communities in the SCAG region (Figure 6–6). Disability rates  are  higher  further  inland  in  the  region,  indicating  that  the  City  of  La  Verne  does  not  have  a disproportionate  concentration  of  persons  with  disabilities  when  compared  to  the  region  or  a  smaller percentage  of  persons  with  disabilities  that  would  indicate  barriers  to  this  population.  The  City  permits small residential care facilities by right in all residential zones and works proacti vely with service providers to address the needs of the City’s persons with disabilities.

La Verne Housing Element Background Report | 2021-2029
Housing Element Background Report 2021‐2029 |City of La Verne  132

Familial Status
Family makeup, including married couples (with or without children), persons over the age of 18 living alone and female headed households can provide insight into potential segregation issues in the community. As shown in Figure 6–7, there is a slightly lower concertation of population in married couples in southern La Verne compared to the rest of the City. This area includes the University of La Verne, as well as the Old Town La Verne Specific Plan area, where there are restaurant and retail uses. This pattern is similar to other communities  along  the  foothills,  including  Claremont,  where  there  are  less  concentrations  of  married couples along major transportation corridors and in areas with commercial uses (Figure 6–8). While this pattern generally continues for married couples with children, in La Verne, there is a higher concentration of  households  of  married  couples  with  children  in  central  La  Verne,  that  is  predominately  single‐family neighborhoods (Figure 6–9 and Figure 6–10).

La  Verne  is  also  home  to  a  number  of  female‐headed  households  located  throughout  the  community.

Although the higher concentrations of this familial type tend to mostly be in areas that are more densely populated and also closer to transit corridors and to goods and services, higher concentrations also occur in single‐family ne ighborhoods in the northern part of the City (Figure 6–6Figure 6–11). There are no known historic patterns of segregation by familial status, including by household gender, which the City finds as contributing factors to continued segregation in La Verne. Figure 6–6 Figure 6–11 indicates that female‐ headed households are located in a variety of census tracts with different incomes, access to opportunities, and resource levels. The pattern present in La Verne is more akin to the City of Pomona and less so to San Dimas and Claremont, which have smaller areas where the concentration of female‐headed households is slightly high
er than the rest of the jurisdiction, as illustrated in Figure 6–12.

Seniors
The community’s older residents, persons 65 years of age or older, are dispersed throughout the City but there are concentrations in two census tracts – one between the 210 Freeway and Route 66, and the other south of Route 66 (Figure 6–7Figure 6–13). The census tract south of Route 66 has the hig hest concentration
of seniors. It also has a lower population density and a number of senior communities and assisted living facilities. As older residents often choose to locate closer to goods, services, and transit in order to have easier  access  to  these  opportunities,  these  areas  of  concentration  provide  La  Verne  residents  with  the ability  to  access  facilities  and  services,  and  this  pa ttern  is  evident  in  Figure  6–7Figure  6–13.  The  City’s neighborhoods north of the 210 Freeway tend to have lower concentrations of seniors (20‐25%); this is likely due in part to the product type offered (generally larger single‐family detached homes), which may not be the preferred housing type of older residents. This pattern is continued in the larger region, as shown in Figure 6–14.

Median Income
Figure 6‐15 show the median income in the City by census block groups and how the median income in those groups compare to the median State income  of $87,100. Similar to the neighboring communities, median income is largely divided by the 210 Freeway with the highest income census block groups located north of the 210 Freeway (>$125,000 and $87,100 – $125,000) and the moderate to high income census block groups located south of the 210 Freeway ($55,000 – $87,100 and $87,100 – $125,000). La Verne is similar in this regard to the City of San Dimas and the City of Claremont although Claremont shows the highest median income groups for much of the area (Figure 6‐16).

Income and RaceRacially or Ethically Concentrated Areas of Poverty (R/ECAP) A racially or ethnically concentrated area of poverty (R/ECAP) is an area in which 50 percent or more of the population identifies as non‐White and 40 percent or more of residents are living in poverty. In the SCAG region, there are several R/ECAPs located in major cities and unincorporated areas. Howeve r,  there are no R/ECAPs located in the City of La Verne. The closest R/ECAP is in the City of Pomona, directly to La Verne’s south. Additionally, according to HCD’s 2020 AFFH mapping tool, there are no areas of high segregation and poverty  as  outlined  in  the  2021  California  Tax  Credit  Allocation  Committee  (TCAC)  opportunity  areas mapping data in the City or surrounding communities. While there are no R/ECAPs in La Verne, there are several neighborhoods where more than half of residents are of very low or low‐income, as shown in Figure 6–17.  These neighborhoods, generally in the southern portion of the City, are adjacent to neighborhoods exhibiting  similar  patterns  in  the  cities  of  Pomona  and  San  Dimas.  The  northern  portion  of  La  Verne, including its newer areas, have fewer residents of very low and low‐income, consistent with the patterns seen by the cities of Claremont and Glendora. Figure 6–318 shows the pattern of very low and low‐income populations in the region.

Comparing Figure 6‐2 (Diversity Index) to Figure 6‐17 (Very Low and Low Income), it appears that, generally, areas in the City ranking higher in diversity tend to have lower median household incomes. Therefore, it appears that moderately segregated economic wealth exists within the City based on diversity. Figure 6‐19 provides an ethnicity analysis identifying the majority racial concentrations in the City. As shown, the vast majority of the City contains a White majority racial concentration, with slim (<10%) Hispanic majority racial concentrations located in southern La Verne, south of the 210 Freeway and along Arrow Highway. Overall, however, it appears that the City  does  not exhibit  significant patterns or  trends of greater  racial/ethnic concentrations correlating to increased poverty. In comparison, Figure 6‐20 provides an ethnicity analysis for the larger region. The City follows a similar pattern to the surrounding communities of Claremont and Glendora.

According  to  the  Department  of  Housing  and  Community  Development  AFFH  Guidance  Memo, “segregation  is  a  continuum,  with  polarity  between  race,  poverty,  and  affluence,  which  can  be  a  direct product of the same policies and practices.” Therefore, both sides of the continuum must be examined.

While  HCD  does  not  have  a  standard  definition  for  RCAAs,  looking  at  the  percentage  of  the  White population and median household income can provide a good indicator for areas of affluence.

In addition to R/ECAPs utilized by HUD, scholars at the University of Minnesota Humphrey School of Public Affairs created the Racially Concentrated Areas of Affluence (RCAAs) metric to more fully tell the story of segregation in the United States.9 Lower levels of median household income are evident in the same areas with higher concentrations of residents classified as very low and low‐income (Figure 6–4). Similar to the neighboring communities, median income is largely divided by the 210 Freeway with the highest income census  block  groups  located  north  of  the  210  Freeway  (>$125,000  and  $87,100  –  $125,000)  and  the moderate to high income census block groups located south of the 210 Freeway ($55,000 – $87,100 and $87,100 – $125,000). La Verne is similar in this regard to the City of San Dimas and the City of Claremont although Claremont shows the highest median income groups for much of the city.

In contrast to a R/ECAP, a racially concentrated area of affluence (RCAA) is defined as a census tract in which 80 percent or more of the population is White and has a median income greater than $125,000 annually (slightly more than double the national median household income in 2016). There are no areas of La Verne that qualify as a RCAA. Most RCAAs in the SCAG region are located in coastal communities while inland suburban communities do not reflect this pattern.

ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITY
The Department of Housing and Community Development together with the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC) established the California Fair Housing Task Force to provide research, evidence‐based policy  recommendations,  and  other  strategic  recommendations  to  HCD  and  other  related  state agencies/departments to further the fair housing goals (as defined by HCD). The Task Force developed the 2021  TCAC/HCD  Opportun
ity  Area  Maps  to  understand  how  public  and  private  resources  are  spatially distributed. The Task Force defines opportunities as pathways to better lives, including health, education, and employment. Overall, opportunity maps are intended to display which areas, according to research, offer  low‐income  childre n   and  adults  the  best  chance  at  economic  advancement,  high  educational attainment, and good physical and mental health.

The opportunity maps are made from composite scores of three different domains made up of a set of indicators.  Based  on  these  domain  scores,  census  tracts  are  categorized  as  Highest  Resource,  High Resource,  Mo derate  Resource,  Moderate  Resource  (Rapidly  Changing),  Low  Resource,  or  areas  of  High Segregation and Poverty. Table 6‐4 shows the full list of indicators.

Economic Opportunity
As  described  above,  the  Fair  Housing  Task  Force  calculates  economic  scores  based  on  poverty,  adult education,  employment,  job  proximity,  and  median  home  values.  As  shown  in  Table  6‐5,  the  overall economic scores in La Verne range from 0.30 to 0.85. According to the 2021 Task Force map presented in Figure 6–8Figure 6–21, the City is again split north and south by the 210 Freeway with higher economic scores in the north (0.50‐0.75) and lower scores in the south (0.25‐0.50). The area shown with a “More Positive Economic Outcome” is Brackett Field Airport, which is part of a census tract largely in San Dimas.

The City of Claremont is also divided by the 210 Freeway with regard to economic scores; however, the northern portion of Claremont is entirely in the “More Positive Economic Outcome” category (>0.75). In comparison with the Los Angeles County region, areas with the highest overall economic scores are located along the coast in the western and southwestern portion of the County, including Santa Monica, Malibu, Manhattan  Beach,  and  Rancho  Palos  Verdes;  in  or  near  the  Santa  Monica  Mountains,  including  Bel  Air, Beverly  Hills,  and  Topanga;  portions  of  the  San  Gabriel  Valley,  particularly  western  San  Gabriel  Valley, including La Cañada Flintridge, South Pasadena, and San Marino; and in other pockets such as southern Diamond Bar, Cerritos, and the Los Altos neighborhood of Long Beach. Other areas are more similar to La Verne and contain a mix with concentrations of low economic scores and high economic scores, such as El Monte/Baldwin Park area and San Fernando area, including Van Nuys and North Hollywood. Areas with the lowest  overall  economic  scores  are  located  in  central  Los  Angeles  County  areas  around  the  City  of  Los Angeles.

Housing Element Background Report 2021‐2029 |City of La Verne  136

In contrast to economic scores, as shown in Figure 6‐22, the job proximity index is higher in the south and lower in the north of the City split by the 210 Freeway. This follows the same pattern as the surrounding communities that have lower job proximity scores in the less densely populated northern areas, and high job proximity scores in the more densely populated southern areas, which also have more commercial uses as well as better access to major transportation corridors, such as the 210 Freeway.

The Southern California Association of Governments’ (SCAG) local profile of La Verne lists 17,060 total jobs in the City in 2017, an increase of 74.3% from 2007.10 The annual average unemployment rate in La Verne for 2021 was 7.6 percent, compared to 8.9 percent for Los Angeles County.11 According to the SCAG local profile for the City, approximately 11.4% of La Verne residents commuted to the City of Los Angeles for work in 2016, and a total of 91.8% of the residents commuted to work outside of La Verne. Only 8.2% of residents commuted within the City of La Verne.

Educational Opportunity
The  Fair  Housing  Task  Force  determines  education  scores  based  on  math  and  reading  proficiency,  high school graduation rates, and student poverty rates. The City performs better in regard to education scores when compared to economic scores (Figure 6–9Figure 6–23), with the majority of the City receiving the highest score (>0.75) and  with  the one different  census tract located south of Route 66 still receiving a moderate to high score (0.50‐0.75). As shown in Table 6‐5, education scores range from 0.62 to 0.94. The City  has  similar  educational  opportunity  scores  to  the  surrounding  communities  of  Claremont  and  San Dimas, while Pomona to the south has significantly lower educational opportunity scores.

The SCAG local profile of La Verne shows that the kindergarten through 12th grade public school enrollment in the City increased by 3.4% or 180 students between 2000 and 2018. With approximately 5,551 students enrolled in 2018, La Verne’s student population comprised of 0.4% of the County’s total. In comparison, the 2018 population of La Verne was 0.3% of the County total population. The City of La Verne is served by the Bonita  Unified  School  District  (BUSD).  There  are  six  public  schools  located  in  the  City  of  La  Verne  (four elementary schools, one middle school and one high school). According to the California Department of Education’s  California  School  Dashboard,  in  2019  BUSD  had  an  enrollment  of  10,055  students.  The ethnic/racial  make‐up of the District in 2019 was: 52.5% Hispanic, 27% White, 6.2% Asian, 2.9% African American, 2.3% Filipino, 0.1% Pacific Islander, 0.1% American Indian, and 6.1% two or more races. A total of  38.9%  of  the  District’s students  come  from  socioeconomically  disadvantaged  backgrounds,  5.9%  are English learners, and 10.4% are students with disabilities. The District has a graduation rate of 95.9%.12 The  University  of  La  Verne  is  located  in  the  City.  The  University  of  La  Verne  is  a  private,  not‐for‐profit university. Of the approximate 8,500 students that attend the University of La Verne (including graduate, part‐time,  and  online  learners),  roughly  2,700  of  them  are  undergraduate  students.  The  location  of  the University of La Verne’s campus between B and D streets, makes the university and its students an integral of Old Town.

Environmental Opportunity
Environmental health scores are determined by the Fair Housing Task Force based on CalEnviroScreen 3.0 pollution indicators and values. The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) compiles  these  scores  to  help  identify  California  communities  disproportionately  burdened  by  multiple sources of pollution. In addition to environmental factors (pollutant exposure, groundwater threats, toxic sites, and hazardous materials exposure) and sensitive receptors (seniors, children, persons with asthma, and low birth weight infants), CalEnviroScreen also takes into consideration socioeconomi c factors. These
factors  include  educational  attainment,  linguistic  isolation,  poverty,  and  unemployment.  Just  as  with neighboring San Dimas and Claremont, environmental health scores improve from south to north. As shown in Figure 6–10Figure 6–24, the area south of Bonita Avenue has “Less Positive Environme ntal Outcomes” or the lowest score (<0.25) while the area north of the 210 Freeway has the highest environmental health score (>0.75). There is a wide range of environmental health scores in the City, ranging from 0.10 to 0.69, as shown in Table 6‐5.

Transportation
Availability  of  efficient,  affordable  transportation  can  be  used  to  measure  fair  housing  and  access  to opportunities. The City’s SCAG profile states that in 2018, 75.7% residents drive alone to work and the mean travel time to work was 31.6 minutes. Between 2000 and 2018, the average travel time to work decreased by approximately 2 minutes. In comparison, the mean travel time to work in Los Angeles County was 30.91 minutes and 73.7% of residents drive alone to work. In 2018, 47.3% of La Verne commuters spent more than 30 minutes to travel to work. According to All Transit, the City of La Verne has a score of 4.9 out of 10, with a score of 10 being high connectivity, access to jobs and frequency of service, due to low combination of trips per week and number of jobs accessible enabling few people to take transit to work.13 Metrolink,  which  provides  passenger  rail  service,  connects  La  Verne  to  downtown  Los  Angeles  and  San Bernardino County.  Foothill  Transit is a local transportation agency providing bus transit and paratransit service between downtown Los Angeles and San Bernardino County. Foothill Transit provides bus service within  the  City  of  La  Verne  and  to/from  adjacent  cities.  In  addition,  transit  riders  also  have  access  to Metrolink and Amtrak  commuter rail  services in nearby Pomona. There are  two Metrolink stations  that serve La Verne residents. The Fairplex station, part of the San Bernardino line, is only operational during the  L.A.  County  Fair  and  is  located  in  the  southern  part  of  the  city,  adjacent  to  the  Fairplex.  The  other Metrolink station, Pomona (North) Station, is located outside of  the city boundaries, just west of Garey Avenue, between Bonita Avenue and Arrow Highway. This station is part of the San Bernardino line that connects  to  downtown  Los  Angeles  to  the  west  and  San  Bernardino  to  the  east.  The  Pomona  Valley Transportation  Authority  and  City  of  La  Verne  provide  shuttle  services  for  local  destinations  for  eligible residents.

The  Los  Angeles  County  Metropolitan  Transportation  Agency  (LA  Metro)  also  plans  to  provide  light  rail service with the extension of the Gold Line. Currently the Gold Line connects East Los Angeles to Azusa, via Downtown Los Angeles. The extension would connect Azusa to Montclair with a stop in La Verne that will be located north of Arrow Highway and east of E Street. LA Metro does not currently provide service to La Verne, but Phase 2 of the planned Foothill Extension of the Gold Line will extend service from Glendora to Montclair and will include a station within La Verne near Arrow Highway and E Street. The Old Town La Verne Specific Plan was developed in 2013 in anticipation of expansion of the University of La Verne and transit‐oriented development related to the future La Verne Gold Line Station. The Specific Plan identifies the primary street functions for the area, including pedestrian, bikeway, transit, and auto corridors. Several streets have multiple functions. The plan also proposes transportation improvements including a new tram connecting  Fairplex  with  Old  Town  La  Verne,  pedestrian  bridge  to  and  from  the  Gold  Line  Station,  and pedestrian enhancements such as widening sidewalks and adding directional signage.

Overall Opportunity
Overall opportunity area map scores for La Verne census tracts are presented in Figure 6–11 Figure 6–25 along with the City’s sites inventory. The Opportunity Areas Map has a gradient similar to the environmental health scores meaning that overall opportunities improve from south to north. The census tracts north of the 210 Freeway are considered Highest Resource areas and consist primarily of large single‐family homes.

Census tracts betwee n  the 210 Freeway and Bonita Avenue are considered High Resource areas and have a broader variety of housing including single‐family homes, multifamily developments, and mobile home parks. The census tracts south of Bonita Avenue are Moderate Resource areas where housing is closest to commercial and light industrial uses. The City of Claremont exhi bits a similar pattern while Pomona has large areas considered Low Resource.

DISPROPORTIONATE HOUSING NEED AND DISPLACEMENT RISK
Overcrowding and Overpayment
As discussed in the Needs Assessment of the Housing Element, overcrowding is not a significant issue in the City of La Verne with only 2.6% of households living in overcrowded conditions (i.e., more than one person per room). As Figure 6–12 Figure 6–26 indicates, all areas in the City are below the statewide average for overcrowding  (<8.2%  of  households).  A  similar  pattern  is  evident  in  the  City  of  San  Dimas  and  City  of Claremont, whereas the City of Pomona shows census tracts with high concentrations of overcrowding.

Overcrowding typically means that either appropriately sized housing is unaffordable to current residents, or that the type of housing available does not me et the need resulting in an increased risk of displacement for  households  living  in  overcrowded  situations.  In  either  case,  overcrowding  means  there  is  a disproportionate need for affordable, larger housing units. For La Verna, the City’s newer housing stock is comprised of larger single‐family homes, so it is unexpected that the issue relates to the size of housing options available. Rather, the issue rests in the affordability of larger homes. The City is home to relatively few  multifamily  units,  and  for  this  reason  smaller  households  may  tend  to  collocate  in  order  to  sh are housing costs.

La Verne Housing Element Background Report | 2021-2029
139  Housing Element Background Report 2021‐2029 | City of La Verne

Unlike overcrowding, overpayment is more of an issue in La Verne (like the rest of southern California). The issue  is  more  prominent  among  renter  households  than  owner  households,  although  both  groups demonstrate patterns of overpayment (Figure 6–13 Figure 6–27 and Figure 6–14Figure 6–28). This reflects patterns of overpayment across the SCAG region, where overpayment has remained an issue among renters in recent years while decreasing among homeowners (Figure 6–29 and Figure 6–30). It is also consistent with the immediate area, reflecting trends present in the cities of San Dimas, Pomona, and Claremont. For renters, the areas most impacted by overpayment include the census tracts in the southern part of the City, south of Route 66, somewhat consistent with the City’s lower income and Moderate Resource areas. For owners impa
cted by overpayment, the concentration is in two census tracts – one north of the 210 Freeway (Highest Resource with generally <25% lower income) and one south of the 210 Freeway (High Resource with 25‐50% lower income). Overpayment increases the risk of displacing residents who are no longer able to  afford  the
ir  housing  costs.  To  address  displacement  risks  due  to  overpayment,  the  City  will  provide incentives to encourage affordable development and will  develop a targeted  program to  connect lower income  residents  with  affordable  homeownership  and  rental  opportunities  within  the  City.the  City  has included Program 28 to evaluate potential incentives and target education to lower income households regarding affordable ownership and rental opportunities.

Housing Condition
In addition to overpayment, approximately 86 percent of the housing stock in La Verne is older than 30 years and may need repairs. While it is likely that some homeowners have conducted ongoing maintenance to maintain the value of their homes, it is likely that many of these homes need some degre e  of repairs. In some cases, the cost of repairs can be prohibitive, resulting in the owner or renter living in substandard housing conditions or being displaced if the house is designated as uninhabitable or during rehabilitation.

According  to  Comprehensive  Housing  Affordability  Strategy  (CHAS)  data  compiled  by  the  U.S.  Census Bureau, appr
oximately 37 percent of La Verne households have at least one housing problem, which may include overcrowding, lack of a complete kitchen, lack of complete plumbing, or severe cost burden. As identified above, many homeowners and renters in La Verne are cost burdened, and may represent a large portion of the 39 per cent of households with a housing problem identified in CHAS.

All of the Housing Element Survey respondents for both surveys listed rehabilitation of existing housing as the  issue  most  important  to  them.  As  discussed  above,  regarding  housing  maintenance,  of  resident responses,  approximately  29%  of  respondents  answered  that  their  residence  showed  signs  of  minor deferred maintenance such as peeling paint or chipped stucco. Approximately 13% of residents indicated that their home needed one or more major systems upgrades such as a new roof or windows. The remaining 4% indicated that their home needed one or more modest rehabilitation improvements such as a new roof or new wood siding. To address the deterioration of the housing stock, the City will continue to develop a housing  rehabilitation  program  and  upon  the  program’s  establishment,  provide  information  about  the program to increase awareness and solicit applications (Program 1 of the Housing Plan).

To prevent residents occupying or being displaced from substandard housing, the City will seek funding to assist homeowners with rehabilitation costs and will develop a code enforcement process that will prevent displacement or assist with relocation costs for lower income households.

Persons Experiencing Homelessness
As discussed in the Housing Needs Assessment, the 2020 PIT Count identified 10 people in the City of La Verne  experiencing  homelessness,  representing  less  than  one  percent  of  LACoC’s total  homeless  count (63,706 individuals). Table 3‐33 shows that the number of unsheltered individuals has increased by 150% over the time period 2016 to 2020. The number of sheltered individuals showed no change over the same period. The City has included Program 10, Partnerships with Housing Organizations and Service Providers in the Housing Plan to continue encouraging partnerships with local organizations and other government agencies that offer housing‐related services, such as the development of affordable housing and homeless prevention services. The City has also included Program 23 to continue to allow emergency shelters by right in  the  Arrow  Corridor  Specific  Plan  Industrial  Zones,  as  well  as  Program  24  to  allow  transitional  and supportive housing in accordance with State law.

Displacement Risk
The annual rate of increase in average home value or rental prices compared with annual changes in the average income in the City also indicates an increased risk of displacement due to housing costs outpacing wage increase, a trend that is felt throughout the region, state, and nation. According to Zillow, the averag e home value in La Verne has increased substantially since 2011, increasing from $444,000 in April 2011 to a high of $750,000 in March 2021. According to the 2015‐2019 American Community Survey data, the median rent in La Verne is $1,510 per month.

As shown in Figure 6‐32, th e  census tracts in the northern and southern areas of the City are designated as “Stable/Advanced Exclusive.” The census tract in the southern area is primarily in the City of San Dimas, and the area in the City of La Verne is where Brackett Field Airport is located. The area north of the 210 Freeway is primarily single‐family neighborhoods and open space and recreational uses. Central La Verne is  considered  “Stable  Moderate/Mixed  Income"  and  the  area  to  the  south  is  considered  “At  Risk  of Becoming Exclusive”. Most of the opportunity housing sites are located in the area designated as “At Risk of  Becoming  Exclusive”. Figure  6‐33  shows  there  are  several  census  tracks  in  central  La  Verne  that  are designated  as  “Sensitive  Communities”  that  would  potentially  displace  existing  residents  due  to redevelopment.  As  shown  in  Figure  6‐33,  census  tracts  in  the  central  area  of  the  City  are  considered “Sensitive Communities” where residents may be particularly vulnerable to displacement in the event of increased  redevelopment  and  shifts  in  housing  costs.  Communities  were  designated  sensitive  if  they currently have populations vulnerable to displacement in the event of increased redevelopment and drastic shifts in housing cost. Vulnerability is defined as share of very low‐income residents is above 20% in 2017 and the tract meets one other criteria related to renters, diversity, and housing burden. No opportunity sites are located in census tracts determined to be “Sensitive Communities”.

To the extent that future development occurs in areas where there is existing housing, all housing must be replaced according to SB 330’s replacement housing provisions (Government Code Section 66300). SB 330 also provides relocation payments to existing low‐income tenants. The State has also adopted “just cause” eviction provisions and statewide rent control to protect tenants from displacement.

La Verne Housing Element Background Report | 2021-2029
141  Housing Element Background Report 2021‐2029 | City of La Verne

One  of  the  community  concerns  identified  during  outreach  was  the  potential  redevelopment  of  mobile home  parks  in  the  City.  The  City  has  included  Program  8,  Monitor  City‐Owned  Mobile  Home  Parks  to continue maintaining and monitoring the City‐owned mobile home parks to preserve a large number of affordable units in La Verne. In coordination with the City’s new rehabilitation program (Program 1), the City will continue to work with mobile home park tenants to address rehabilitation needs in the mobile homes parks. Additionally, the City has included Program 15, Mobile Home Rent Control in the Housing Plan. The City will continue to enforce the Mobile Home Rent Control Ordinance to ensure affordability of housing in mobile home parks and to keep rent increases at reasonable levels.

In  order  to  address  affordability  challenges,  the  City  will  encourage  and  incentivize  development  of affordable housing units and will develop a program to connect lower income residents with affordable housing opportunities. Displacement risk increases when a household is paying more for housing than their income can support, their housing condition is unsta ble  or unsafe, and when the household is overcrowded.

Each of these presents barriers to stable housing for the occupants. In La Verne, overpayment is linked to areas with a lower median income. As discussed under Patterns of Integration and Segregation, there are higher rates of very low and low‐income in the City, south of the 210 Freeway. Taken tog ether, the risk of displacement  is  highest  for  lower  income  households,  including  those  that  are  currently  living  in overcrowded conditions and/or overpaying for housing, located in the City’s southern neighborhoods. With programs to incentivize new affordable development, and programs to support ex isting  residents, the City will proactively work to address and prevent risks associated with displacement.

Research has shown that low‐income renter populations are disproportionately exposed to environmental hazards and that housing tenure is a telling determinant of social vulnerability to disasters. Renters bear the brunt of the existing affordable housing shortage, and their adaptive capacity to cope and recover from the impacts of environmental hazards may be reduced due to systemic inequities and limited resources. As discussed  in  the  Constraints  section  under  Environmental  Constraints,  environmental  hazards  affecting residential development in the City include geologic and seismic hazards, flooding and inundation hazards, wildfires, and hazardous materials release. Liquefaction and other seismic‐related issues are addressed by the State Universal Building Code (UBC). The FEMA Flood Maps show that the City’s main flood hazard zone lies  in  the  northern  portion  of  the  City  near  the  foothills.  Areas  within  the  100‐year  floodplain  and  are subject to specialized flood construction requirements. As shown in the La Verne General Plan Figure PS‐2 (Public Safety Concerns Map), over half of the City is located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ). All sites identified in the Sites Inventory to meet the remaining lower income RHNA need are not within  areas  that  have  development  restrictions  due  to  risk  of  damage  from  disasters  (such  as  floods, wildfires,  or  seismic  events).  Potential  hazardous  materials  release  could  impact  residents  from  several hazardous  materials  locations  or  roadways  and  underground  pipelines  used  to  transport  hazardous materials in the City. This danger is somewhat mitigated, however, by various State and Federal legislation regulating the use, storage, and transportation of hazardous materials and the strict enforcement of these regulations.

LOCAL DATA AND KNOWLEDGE OTHER RELEVANT FACTORS
While there are no significant segregation or integration issues identified currently within the City, in terms of race and ethnicity, persons with disabilities, familial status, age, or income, there are historic patterns of discriminatory practices that occurred within the City. According to the La Verne Historical Society, due to its  flourishing  citrus  industry,  La  Verne  was  a  destination  for  migrant  labor  in  the  early  20th  century.

Nationalities  that  immigrated  to  La  Verne  included  Mexican,  Chinese,  Indian,  Japanese,  and  Filipino immigrants. Mexican immigrants who settled in La Verne after 1910 lived south of the Santa Fe railroad tracks in the and worked extensively in the orange groves and packing houses. The La Verne Leader, the City’s local newspaper, catalogues the de facto segregation that occurred in the City through its reporting on the Palomares school that was built in 1927 for children of Spanish‐speaking immigrants.14 A news article from July 1, 1926 states that “The Mexican problem, which has become serious in La Verne, will be taken care of to a certain extent by the discouraging of Mexican pupils in the kindergarten.” A second article, published February 24, 1927 states that “[a] decision has been reached…  to build a separate school building for Mexican children in the Latin quarter of the city” (south of Santa Fe railroad tracks). In the spring of 1927, the new Palomares school was constructed at the corner of A Street and Palomares Street. All children of  Mexican  descent  were  required  to  go  to  this  school  except  those  in  the  6th,  7th,  and  8th  grades.

Segregation of the elementary schools ended in 1947 in the wake of Mendez v. Westminster.

In the 1960s, the term "redlining" originated to describe the discriminatory practice of identify areas where banks would avoid investments based on the racial makeup of certain communities. In the 1930s and 1940s, the  federal  Home  Owners'  Loan  Corporation  (HOLC)  devised  an  A  (best)  through  D  (hazardous)  grading system that reflected the mortgage security of neighborhoods in the City based on racial, ethnicity, and class factors. The Brookings Institution, a nonprofit public policy agency, has identified that “[T]the practice of redlining was explicit in its targeting of Black Americans. While Latino or Hispanic residents, low‐income white residents, noncitizens, communists, and other populations the federal government deemed ‘risky’ were often included in redlining, they were not targeted in the same manner as Black residents. Today, neighborhoods that fall within once‐redlined areas are more likely to have a higher concentration of Black residents,  as  well  as  lower  incomes,  lower  home  values,  and  other  negative  economic characteristics relative  to  the  rest  of  their  cities.”  From  1948  through  1968,  the  Federal  Housing Administration’s Underwriting Manual recommended the use of racially‐restrictive covenants which limited access for minorities to purchase homes. According to Mapping Inequality, a University of Richmond project that aggregates historical redlining records, redlining maps of central and southern La Verne date back to 1939.15 The area generally bound by 8th Street on the north, Lincoln Avenue on the east, the railroad to the south (east of B Street) and 3rd Street (west of B Street), and Wheeler Avenue on the west corresponds to Area Number C‐54. Area Number C‐54 is described as having “few” foreign families, consisting of “[s]mall business men, skilled and semi‐skilled workers”, with the report concluding that “no further increase of subversive racial groups is anticipated”. The area generally bound by Park Avenue on the east, 3rd Street (west of B Street) and and railroad (east of B Street) to the north, E Street to the east, and the railroad south of Arrow Highway to the south, corresponds to Area Number D‐20. Area Number D‐20 is a redlined area and described as consisting of 75% “foreign families” with “Mexican residents of the peon types.”

La Verne Housing Element Background Report | 2021-2029
143  Housing Element Background Report 2021‐2029 | City of La Verne

The practice of redlining or similar discriminatory practices that occurred from the 1930s through 1960s affected  opportunities  for  persons  of  color,  nonnative  residents,  certain  ethnicities,  and  other  persons deemed  lower  class.  While  the  majority  (67.6%)  of  La  Verne’s  housing  stock  was  built  after  1970, approximately one‐third (32.4%) was subjected to the redlining and racially‐restrictive covenants that were made  illegal  in  1968.  These  historical  discriminatory  practices  have  effects  that  can  be  felt  today.  The redlined Area Number D‐20 generally corresponds to Census Tract 4015.00, and as shown in Table 6‐5, has the lowest resource levels of census tracts in the City. Further, as shown in Figure 6‐19, this area is the only area in the City that contains a slim (<10%) Hispanic majority racial concentration.

As  discussed  throughout  this  report,  the  northern  half  of  La  Verne  (north  of  Baseline  Road)  generally exhibits different development patterns than the southern half of the City. The area north of Baseline Road is comprised of primarily single‐family residential uses with open space or undevelopable land, whereas the area  south  of  Baseline  Road  is  a  more  diverse  mix  of  single‐  and  multi‐family  residential,  commercial, industrial, and public/institutional uses. These differences in development patterns can be attributed to a combination  of  topographical  and  historical  forces.  The  area  north  of  Baseline  Road  is  situated  in  the foothills  of  the  San  Gabriel  Mountains,  an  area  settled  by  ranchers  in  the  late  1800s  and  early  1900s.

Meanwhile, the town of Lordsburg (what will eventually become Old Town La Verne) sprung up along the extension of the Santa Fe Railroad in the southern half of modern day La Verne. These ranches in the north became productive agricultural groves during the citrus boom of the early 1900s. As demand for residential development skyrocketed post‐WWII, citrus farmers found it more profitable to sell their agricultural land for  housing  developments.  The  large  parcels  were  typically  sold  and  developed  with  single‐family subdivisions, like many other communities in the region, and the corresponding development resulted in exponential population in La Verne during the 1970s and 1980s. Market conditions at the time, in addition to the steep hilly terrain (many areas of north La Verne have a slop of 20% or greater) and environmental and  safety  constraints  (including  fire  hazard  concerns),  led  to  almost  all  prior  citrus  farms  land  being developed with lower‐density, single‐family housing which could most feasibility fit within the unique hilly topography of this part of the City. As discussed in Section 5 of this report, nearly all of the land north of Baseline Road, particularly east of Wheeler Avenue, is subject to environmental constraints due to landslide and wildfire, and is required to undertake additional development precautions. Existing roads in these areas may  not  provide  adequate  emergency  vehicle  access  for  new  multi‐family  development.  In  addition  to environmental constraints and a lack of developable land, these residential subdivisions largely lack access to multi‐modal transportation options, employment centers and services, and are generally not suitable for large‐scale multi‐family development. For these reasons, the Sites Inventory focuses new development to meet the lower income RHNA in the southern half of the City (south of Baseline Road), with ADUs providing the most realistic and feasible infill development opportunities in the northern half.

Since the early 1980s, La Verne facilitated a successful local redevelopment agency (RDA) that helped the City  invest  in  affordable  housing,  infrastructure  improvements,  and  other  projects  that  benefited  the community. Some of the major projects funded by the RDA included infrastructure improvements in the San  Polo  Business  Park  at  the  northern  edge  of  Brackett  Field,  a  reconfigured  road  for  the  Towne Redevelopment Center, acquisition of La Verne Mobile Country Club using affordable‐housing dollars, and a  revitalization  project  in  the  Old  Town  La  Verne  area  in  which  a  significant  majority,  if  not  all,  of  the buildings had some type of work done. After dissolution of the RDA, the City worked tirelessly to identify and  evaluate  alternative  strategies  to  fund  infrastructure  improvements  in  south  La  Verne,  particularly around the new Metro L Line (Gold) Station, to support new development including new affordable and market‐rate  housing.  As  described  previously  in  this  Housing  Element,  the  City  adopted  an  Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District to help partially fill the void left by the dissolution of the RDA, although both focused on improvements in south La Verne.

SITE INVENTORY ANALYSIS
AB 686 requires that jurisdictions identify sites throughout the community in a manner that is consistent with its duty to affirmatively further fair housing. The site identification includes not only an analysis of site capacity  to  accommodate  the  RHNA  (provided  in  the  Housing  Resources  section),  but  also  considers whether the identified sites serve the pu rpose of replacing segregated living patterns with truly integrated and balanced living patterns, transforming racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty into areas of opportunity.

As previously stated, the City finds that there are no known historicsignificant patterns of segregation by race  and  ethnicity,  persons  with  disabilities,  familial  status,  age,  or  income.  Nonetheless,  as  described throughout  this  Housing  Element,  the  City  is  committed  to  supporting  the  development  of  housing  to promote a balanced and integrated community. This is highlighted in Table 5‐5 in the Housing Resources chapter, as the City has identified a surplus of sites and excess development capacity for housing for all income  levels.  Table  6‐6  below  presents  the  distribution  of  RHNA  sites  by  income  group  to  relate  the selected sites to fair housing issues.

Figure  6–2  shows  the  sites  identified  to  meet  La  Verne’s  RHNA  allocation  in  relation  to  racial/ethnic diversity.  As  shown,  proposed  RHNA  sites  are  located  primarily  in  the  Old  Town  La  Verne  Specific  Plan (OTLVSP) area, which is an area of high racial and ethnic diversity. Table 6‐5 shows the sites designated to meet  La  Verne’s  RHNA  allocation  in  relation  to  the  distribution  of  persons  with  disabilities.  As  shown, proposed RHNA sites (OTLVSP area) are not concentrated in areas with high proportions of persons with disabilities.  The  sites  are  located  in  census  tracts  with  10‐20%  of  residents  indicating  a  disability.

Additionally, the City’s OTLVSP area is located near transit corridors and activity centers, which benefits persons with disabilities. The locations of sites designated to meet the City’s lower income RHNA allocation are not expected to contribute to patterns of isolation or segregation for persons with disabilities.

Figure 6–11 shows the sites designated to meet La Verne’s RHNA allocation in relation to female‐headed households. As shown, proposed RHNA sites (OTLVSP area) are not concentrated in areas with high levels of  female‐headed  households.  The  locations  of  sites  designated  to  meet  the  City’s lower  income  RHNA allocation  are  not  expected  to  contribute  to  patterns  of  isolation  or  segregation  for  female‐headed households. Figure 6–13 shows the sites designated to meet La Verne’s RHNA allocation in relation to the distribution  of  senior  residents.  As  shown,  proposed  RHNA  sites  (OTLVSP  area)  are  not  concentrated  in areas  with  high  proportions  of  senior  residents.  The  sites  are  located  in  areas  with  low  levels  of  senior residents (10‐15%). Furthermore, these areas are also good locations for seniors because they provide easy access to goods and services and are located near transportation facilities and activity centers. The locations of sites designated to meet the City’s RHNA allocation are not expected to contribute to patterns of isolation or segregation for senior households.

Figure 6–15 shows the sites designated to meet La Verne’s RHNA allocation in relation to median household income. Most candidate sites are located in the City’s lower median household income census block groups ($55,000 ‐ $87,100), with some candidate sites located in census tracts with median household incomes of $87,100 ‐ $125,000. The location of new development to meet the City’s RHNA of all income levels is not expected to contribute to patterns of isolation or segregation for lower income households.

As  shown  in  Table  6‐6,  the  majority  of  the  proposed  RHNA  sites  for  all  income  levels  are  located  in neighborhoods with a neighborhood segregation typology of Latinx‐White; a non‐white population of about 58%; a disability rate of approximately 16%; median household income between $67,034‐$78,000; and a low‐moderate income population of between approximately 50‐52%. The sites are in areas of moderate or high TCAC opportunity areas, and have low‐moderate risk of displacement. As described in the Assessment of  Fair  Housing  Issues  section  above,  the  City  does  not  exhibit  significant  patterns  or  trends  of  greater racial/ethnic concentrations correlating to increased poverty. However, because the candidate site areas are  identified  to  accommodate  all  income  levels  (lower‐,  moderate‐,  and  above‐moderate),  the  sites provide  an  opportunity  to  facilitate  mixed‐income  neighborhoods  and  encourage  future  integration  in these areas.

The City examined the Opportunity Areas Map prepared by HCD and TCAC (Figure 6–11Figure 6–25). The Opportunity Areas Map identifies areas in every region of the state State whose characteristics have been shown by research to support positive economic, educational, and environmental health outcomes for low‐ income families – particularly long‐term outcomes for children.

Using the statewide Opportunity Areas Map and indicators of segregation, displacement risk, and access to opportunity as overlays to the City’s sites inventory, the City was able to identify if the sites identified in the inventory  to  accommodate  the  lower  income  Regional  Housing  Needs  Allocation  (RHNA)  affirmatively further fair housing and combat any exis ting identified patterns. The City of La Verne is essentially built‐out with limited to no vacant land remaining. There are also a significant portion of the City, particularly in the northeast,  with  environmental  constraints  that  preclude  large‐scale  residential  development  and  re‐ development. Therefore, Tthe majority of new growth is expected to occur within the boundaries of the Old  Town  La  Verne  Specific  Plan  (OTLVSP),  which  permits  residential  and  mixed‐use  development  at densities high enough (30 du/ac+) to stimulate redevelopment of underutilized parcels.

As described earlier in the Background Report, the OTLVSP was adopted to transform 90‐acres adjacent to the City’s new Metro L Line (Gold) station, Old Town La Verne, and th e University of La Verne into a thriving, vibrant, mixed‐use activity center with a range of housing choices, including housing affordable to lower‐ income households. The redevelopment of this area is a priority for the City, and the City has adopted an Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD) to fa cilitate infrastructure improvements and investment into this project area. The sites identified to meet the City’s lower‐income RHNA at all income levels are largely within the OTLVSP area because this is where new development can and should occur within the City. This area is near goods and services, provides access to jobs (see Figure 6‐22), provides easy and safe access  to  local‐  and  regional‐serving  transit,  and  permits  development  at  densities  higher  than  seen elsewhere in the City thereby reducing constraints and facilitating affordable housing. Currently, this area is largely developed with  non‐residential uses, and  as  a result the OTLVSP area is an area of moderate‐ opportunity, compared to other areas of the City tha t are higher opportunity tracts. However, it is the intent of  the  OTLVSP  to  stimulate  investment  and  redevelopment  of  this  moderate‐opportunity  area,  thereby increasing  levels  of  opportunity  for  existing  residents  and  providing  new  residents  with  a  variety  of opportunities and amenities to meet their needs. The OTLVSP would provide opportunities for new housing for all income categories, not just lower‐income categories, in an area near goods, services, jobs, and transit thereby providing new housing choices in an area of improving opportunity. In a built‐out community like La Verne, the ability to direct growth to specific areas where new residents can be provided access to jobs and transit is an important part of the success of future development.

La Verne Housing Element Background Report | 2021-2029
149  Housing Element Background Report 2021‐2029 | City of La Verne

As described in the Resources section, future residential development is not precluded to only the OTLVSP area.  Residential  development  is  allowed  throughout  the  community,  in  all  census  tracts,  and  the  City supports the development of residential uses throughout La Verne. The OTLVSP area has been identified as the  location  where  new  residential  development  is  most  likely  and  desirable,  given  the  access  to  jobs, goods, services, transit and community facilities like the University and City Hall. Other Specific Plans also allow  for  residential  development,  including  the  Foothill  Boulevard  Specific  Plan  which  focused  on accommodating  senior  housing,  and  the  Arrow  Corridor  Specific  Plan,  which  allows  for  medium  density residential development, including small lots or zero lot lines. Moreover, the City has a history of working with  property  owners  to  customize  development  standards  for  specific  opportunity  sites,  such  as  the development  of  19  units  at  a  vacant  site  previously  designated  for  industrial  development.  The  City continues to encourage the production of new residential development throughout the City, not just in the OTLVSP. Additionally, to help support the addition of new development in high resource areas, the City has included Program 16, which promotes the opportunity to develop accessory dwelling units throughout the community. Other programs that specifically address potential fair housing issues and provide meaningful action to affirmatively further fair housing include Program 14, Program 26, Program 27, Program 28, and Program 29, in order to provide fair housing outreach and enforcement; expanded choice in housing types and  locations;  new  opportunities  in  higher  resource  areas;  place‐based  strategies  for  neighborhood improvements; and tenant‐protections, including displacement protection.

La Verne Housing Element Background Report | 2021-2029
Housing Element Background Report 2021‐2029 |City of La Verne  150

6C. Analysis of Contributing Factors
The City identified several factors that contribute to fair housing issues in La Verne, as shown in Table 6‐7.

The City has identified the concentrations of lower income households, the lack of balanced opportunity in the City, and the high risk of displacement for lower income households as the primary contributing factors to fair housing in La Verne. The City has included actions to address these factors, as well as the other issues identifi
ed  in  this  assessment,  throughout  the  Housing  Element  programs  and  policies.  Programs  25  and 27Numerous  programs  have  been  included  to  affirmatively  further  fair  housing,  per  AB  686,  and  take meaningful actions that address significant disparities in housing needs and access to opportunities for all groups protected by state and federal law. All programs listed below include a specific commitment, metric, schedule,  and  geographic  focus,  as  described  in  Program  28  of  the  Housing  Plan.  Regional  coordination efforts  outlined  in  several  programs  will  ensure  that  the  City  furthers  patterns  of  integration  and development of affordable housing in such a way that it will have a positive impact on residents of the City and region.

7. Other Requirements
7A. Consistency with General Plan
Government  Code  Section  65300.5  states:  “In  construing  the  provisions  of  this  article,  the  Legislature intends that the general plan and elements and parts thereof comprise an integrated, internally consistent and  compatible  statement  of  policies  for  the  adopting  agency.”  Additionally,  Government  Code  Section 65583(c)(7) requires the identification of “means by which consistency will be achieved with other general plan elements and community goals.”
The housing element of a general plan sets out a city’s overall long‐range planning strategy for providing housing  for  all  segments  of  the  community.  The  California  Government  Code  requires  general  plans  to contain an integrated, consistent set of goals and policies. The housing element is, therefore, affected by policies contained in other elements of a general plan. The housing element is most intricately related to the  land  use  element.  The  land  use  element  establishes  the  framework  for  development  of  housing  by laying  out  the  land  use  designations  for  residential  development  and  indicating  the  type  and  density permitted by a city.

Working within this framework, the City of La Verne’s Housing Element identifies priority goals, policies, and  action  programs  for  the  2021‐2029  planning  period  that  directly  address  the  housing  needs  of  La Verne’s existing and future residents. The policies contained in other elements of the City’s General Plan affect  many  aspects  of  life  that  residents  enjoy  such  as  the  amount  and  variety  of  open  space;  the preservation of natural, historic, and cultural resources; permitted noise levels in residential areas; and the safety  of  the  residents  in  the  event  of  a  natural  or  man‐made  disaster.  The  Housing  Element  has  been reviewed for consistency with the City's other current General Plan elements and the policies and programs in this Element do not conflict with the policy direction contained in other parts of the current General Plan.

As the City completes the ongoing comprehensive update to its General Plan, the Housing Element will be reviewed to ensure that internal consistency is maintained. 7B. Relationship to Other City Plans and Policies
The Housing Element identifies priority goals, objectives, policies, and action programs for the next eight years that directly address the housing needs of La Verne. The City’s other plans and policies, including its Municipal Code, Zoning Code, and Specific Plans must all remain consistent with the Housing Element. As revisions  are  considered  to  the  City’s Zoning  Code  and  various  plans,  each  revision  will  be  reviewed  to ensure that no conflicts with the Housing Element occur. 7C. Priority for Water and Sewer
Per Chapter 727, Statues of 2004 (SB 1087), upon completion of an amended or adopted housing element, a local government is responsible for immediately distributing a copy of the element to area water and sewer  providers.  Water  and  sewer  providers  must  grant  priority  for  service  allocations  to  proposed developments  that  include  housing  units  affordable  to  lower  income  households.  As  the  responsible agency,  the  City of La Verne will supply a copy of the adopted  Housing  Element to  Golden State Water Company – San Dimas System (GSWC) and the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (LACSD) District No. 21, as well as to all other water and sewer providers serving the City.

Old Town La Verne Specific Plan
The purpose of the Old Town La Verne
Specific Plan is to facilitate and encourage
development and improvements that help
realize the community’s vision for Old
Town, which includes transit‐oriented
development near the new Metro L Line
(Gold) station, affordable housing, and
multi‐modal transit. The plan outlines a
framework for growth and redevelopment
of the 90‐acre projec t  site located along
Arrow Highway in the southeastern portion
of the City, bounded by B Street on the
west and White Avenue on the east. The
Specific Plan is divided into 11 Land Use
Districts based on the location of uses and
potential impacts of development within
the site. Of these, all but the Op en Space
District permits residential uses by right.

The planning areas also allow for
customized development standards and
guidelines. This approach enables the Old
Town La Verne Specific Plan to create
unique areas within the project, while
ensuring compatibility with uses adjacent to
the site. The applicable dev elopment
standards and parking requirements for
each planning area are set forth in the

Introduction
The City of La Verne is updating its Housing Element as part of the 2021-2029 Housing Element Cycle (Cycle 6). La Verne is dedicated to meeting the future housing needs of its residents. The Housing Element Update process is a unique opportunity to connect with residents of La Verne and learn more about residents’ values, priorities, concerns, and ideas.

The City’s public engagement program connected to the Housing Element Update began in 2017, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. At that time, the City had initiated a comprehensive update to its General Plan, including the Housing Element. Starting in 2020, the public engagement program more specifically focused on community input regarding housing issues and priorities, as described in detail in this Public Engagement Summary.

Throughout the process, the City supported robust bilingual (English and Spanish) public engagement by sending direct advertisements, posting to social media, hosting surveys, facilitating workshops, and sharing summaries of feedback to validate what we heard. The City conducted targeted outreach to lower-income areas of the community by posting flyers at public gathering spaces, including older parts of La Verne in and around Old Town and at the mobile home communities. The City also utilized a General Plan Advisory Committee which included representatives from different socioeconomic backgrounds, facilitated numerous study sessions with Planning Commission and Council, hosted pop-up events, and made community presentations as part of the General Plan Update. Looking forward to the public review period of the Draft Housing Element, the City will continue to engage the community to seek feedback on the goals, policies, and programs included in the Housing Plan as well as input regarding key issues and challenges identified in the Background Report, including the City’s plan to accommodate its fair share of future regional housing growth.

The following activities have been conducted in support of the Housing Element Update and are summarized in this document; copies of key advertisements and presentations are included at the end of this document and are also available on the project website at Laverne.generalplan.org. • General Education and Advertisements

General Education and Advertisements
The City engaged in a multifaceted campaign to advertise, initially, the comprehensive General Plan Update, and then later, the focused update to the City’s Housing Element.

Social Media
The City of La Verne maintains various social media accounts including Facebook, Nextdoor, and Instagram. Starting in February 2020 and continuing throughout the project, the City posted updates to its social media platforms advertising opportunities to provide input and alerting the public to upcoming meetings and workshops.

Flyers
Flyers and newsletters were prepared to advertise the General Plan Update and Visioning Workshops; these flyers were made available on the City’s municipal website as well as at key locations around the community. There was a specific and intentional effort to involve all economic segments of the community in the development of the housing element, specifically lower-income households.

Emails
The project team complied a database of community members and stakeholders who registered to be notified via email of future public engagement opportunities and key deliverables. Direct emails were sent to these individuals to advertise the Housing Element Community Meeting, the Online Workshop, and the Public Review Draft 2021-2029 Housing Element.

Project Website
A dedicated project website (https://laverne.generalplan.org/) serves as the main conduit of information for individuals who can access material online (in nearly all cases, material has also been made available in hard copy for people with limited interest access). The project website launched in late 2017 and is regularly updated to reflect ongoing community input opportunities, advertise draft work products, and answer commonly asked questions. The project website includes the following pages:
• Home Page: Introduction about the project
• FAQ: A presentation of common questions and answers including an overview of why public feedback is important and how it will be used to shape the work products • Get Involved: Dedicated page to community events and surveys • Documents: Library of relevant documents and maps prepared for the project as well as links to the City’s Planning Division webpage which hosts additional City documents • Contact Us: Project team contact information and a fillable form to submit comments on an ongoing basis and register to receive future project updates

General Plan Workshops
The City hosted three in-person General Plan workshops focused on the topics of vision and values, land use planning, and mobility. These activities were held in the Fall of 2017 and engaged all community members, including those that may not traditionally participate in the planning process.

Members from different areas of the City attended, including senior residents of mobile home parts, long-time residents, and residents of the community’s multifamily communities. Students from the University of La Verne were also in attendance. These Visioning Workshops are summarized in an attachment to this summary.

General Plan Advisory Committee
As part of the City’s comprehensive General Plan Update, the City Council established a citizen-based General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) to provide Staff and the consultant team guidance on developing the General Plan. In forming the GPAC, the City Council appointed representatives from different interest groups, backgrounds, and experience levels to provide input. This included representatives from special needs groups, including a representative for seniors, youths, and the City’s mobile home communities who represented the interests of all income sectors of the community, including lower incomes. The 12-member GPAC included representatives from the following categories:
• Two City Council members
• One Planning Commissioner
• Mobile Home Parks
• Senior Advisory Committee
• Youth Representative
• Business Community
• Open Space
• At-Large Representative
• University of La Verne
• Social/Community Engagement
• Youth and Family Action Committee
• Developer
• Active Transportation Group
• Downtown Business Improvement
• Historical Society
The GPAC met eleven times to provide insight on the General Plan Elements and review draft goals, policies and programs. As part of this work, the GPAC discussed issues related to housing and land use, economic development, mobility, noise, public safety, public facilities, open space, conservation, and community design. At the final three meetings (facilitated in summer of 2019), the GPAC reviewed and provided comments on all General Plan Elements, except the Housing Element, which could not have yet been prepared given that the City had not yet received its RHNA. While the GPAC did not review and comment specifically on the draft Housing Element, the input received from the GPAC throughout the planning process, including input received from representatives of the community’s special needs groups, was considered and included in preparing the draft Housing Element, which was prepared to be consistent with the other draft General Plan Elements, including the Land Use Element, which was reviewed by the GPAC.

Virtual Community Workshop
As part of the community outreach, a virtual community workshop was conducted to educate the community about housing issues and opportunities facing La Verne and gather input on housing- related topics. The virtual workshop was hosted on the project website from August 10, 2020 through September 30, 2020. The extended timeframe was intended to allow community members and stakeholders to participate at their leisure and in accordance with their schedule and availability.

The Virtual Community Workshop consistent of three parts:

Part A: Overview video (narrated in English and subtitled in Spanish) describing Housing Elements and why they are important
Part B: PowerPoint presentation describing existing conditions in La Verne and the City’s Housing Element Update process
Part C: Two surveys to gather information on housing-related issues. Survey #1 focused on issues of home maintenance, affordability, home types, and living conditions in La Verne as well as demographic questions. Survey #2 focused on community priorities related to housing.

The results of the surveys completed as part of the Virtual Community Workshop are included as an attachment to this report.

Stakeholder Invitations to Participate
In preparing the draft Housing Element, the City solicited input through direct emails and invitations to community members and other stakeholders. On December 28, 2020 the City invited the public and stakeholders to participate in the Virtual Workshop (described above) to share their input on the Housing Element. The City sent direct emails to approximately 450 individuals and organizations who had registered their email address to receive notifications on the General Plan Update, this included individuals and organizations who specifically represent the interests of lower income residents. The City sent physical invitations to 80 individual stakeholders who are involved in the provision of housing, social services, fair housing, and development in La Verne. A copy of the parties receiving notification is included on the following pages.

The Public Review Draft Housing Element was developed in response to the meaningful input provided by a diverse representation of community members involved in the comprehensive General Plan Update process, which included a working group comprised of representatives from special needs groups, lower-income households, and community advocates. The Public Review Draft 2021- 2029 Housing Element was made available to the public on December 3, 2021. The material was posted to the project website and a press release was posted to the City’s website and advertised at public hearings and to individuals registered for project notifications. The City also advertised the Public Review Draft and provided direction on how individuals could provide public comment via its social media challenges and direct letters to stakeholder engaged in housing services in and around La Verne. Invitations to review and comment on the draft Housing Element were sent directly to parties who had previously signed-up for notifications and the City advertised availability at meetings with the Planning Commission and City Council.

Interested parties were invited to submit public comments using a fillable comment card available on the project website, provide written comments via mail to City Hall, or email comments to the City’s Housing Element Project Manager.

The City received no public comments on the Public Draft 2021-2029 Housing Element during the 30- day public review period.

Review of Subsequent Housing Element Drafts

3 Great small town feel. 1/10/2018 12:35 PM
4 Needs more affordable housing, restaurants and jobs. With the growth of the university the city needs to adapt to a younger demographic to kateer to the younger population and make La Verne attractive to younger people
1/10/2018 12:35 PM
5 Great community feeling - good access to surrounding areas. 1/10/2018 12:33 PM 6 The city is well maintained, and I feel reasonably safe here. 1/10/2018 12:26 PM 7 We need to fill up the empty buildings esp, the old Bakers Square building 1/10/2018 12:19 PM 8 Concerts in the park, 4th of July parade, cool cruise, santa on firetruck every Christmas, all the parks.

13 Great schools, great family environment, safe 1/10/2018 11:50 AM 14 Enjoy the “small town” atmosphere but the City still has all the services and shopping opportunities of larger communities.
1/10/2018 11:50 AM
15 La Verne provides a small town atomosphere by offering numerous activities and community opportunities.
1/10/2018 11:45 AM
16 The neighborhoods are well kept and crime is low compared to some surrounding areas and other areas of the county.
1/10/2018 11:44 AM
17 STOP THE CAR RACING AND TRAIN NOISE! 1/10/2018 11:30 AM 18 Love the community and shopping is walking distance. 1/10/2018 11:22 AM 19 It would be nice to have more options for social outings, such as in Claremont. Otherwise, quality of life is great!
1/10/2018 11:21 AM
20 More and more houses being broke into 1/10/2018 11:19 AM 21 Crime has risen a bit but still overall safe, wish there was more nightlife and businesses focused on the 25 to 35 year crowd, with and without children. The elderly take a chunk of our community but the young families are taking over as the main demographic alongside students and the businesses and city need to adapt to the change.
1/10/2018 11:17 AM
22 Could be better 1/10/2018 11:15 AM
23 We need more outdoor activities and bike lanes 1/10/2018 11:07 AM 24 Excellent community, police are great. Fire service is good but think too highly of themselves. 1/10/2018 11:04 AM 25 Great small-town vibe, friendly, family oriented 1/10/2018 10:54 AM 26 Commuting to jobs outside of La Verne is difficult because of LA traffic. 1/10/2018 10:46 AM 27 I love the size of the city and the convenience of shopping. I love the City pride as shown in the 4th of July celebrations. I love that the school district is known fir quality and especially that the school does a pretty good job of prioritizing children with special needs. 1/10/2018 10:40 AM
28 Love the community and the people. Our neighbors are amazing. 1/10/2018 10:39 AM 29 It seems like a safe place to live, shop, and travel about. 1/10/2018 10:35 AM 30 Home town feel 1/10/2018 10:34 AM
31 It’s a nice quiet bedroom type city. So far so good!! 1/10/2018 10:33 AM 32 Lve the small town feel and the awesome events 1/10/2018 10:29 AM 33 Actually “great” would be my response if available. It’s a lovely city and I feel like part of a community. Growing crime in the area concerns me, but that’s not exclusive to La Verne. 1/10/2018 10:29 AM
34 city has not kept up w/necessary changes due to growth 1/10/2018 10:24 AM 35 Crime is ridiculous need more officers 1/10/2018 10:22 AM 36 More crime recently 1/10/2018 10:21 AM
37 Quiet, very low crime, moderate population density 1/10/2018 10:20 AM 38 We moved to La Verne from Upland and I enjoy living in La Verne but we are surprised at the crime rate in our area. North La Verne has an inordinate number of break ins which could be curbed with more police on the street

48 Too much crime happening in town these days 1/9/2018 7:03 PM 49 I love La Verne! 1/9/2018 6:34 PM
50 La Verne needs to let go of the hokey way they put on events like the lighting of the Christmas tree (embarrassingly small tree). The lights were strung across two trees at the entrance of downtown, certainly not a case of less us more. Take notes from downtown Glendora, Claremont and Monrovia and make this city a shopping, restaurant town, stop holding it down to be Mayberry, those days are long gone.
1/9/2018 6:23 PM

54 La Verne has so much to offer and is able to keep its small town feel. 1/9/2018 4:22 PM 55 Friendly people,small town feel. Love the Christmas tradions as well 1/9/2018 4:03 PM 56 Overnight parking restrictions difficult without a driveway 1/9/2018 3:48 PM 57 Safe, clean, quiet, self-sufficient 1/9/2018 3:37 PM 58 La Verne is a city that is above average, but generally lags leading cities in many cities. In general, the residency and city is conservative in not progressive, generally content to maintain what is in place responsibly, but reluctant to be the leaders change from the status quo. 1/9/2018 3:30 PM
59 Having markets we can shop at has improved everyday living. 1/9/2018 3:28 PM 60 I've lived here for 35 years.

3 Too many grocery stores, not enough restaurants with a veriety of choices, not many affordable starter homes.
1/10/2018 12:35 PM
4 Many restaurants & store fronts have remained unoccupied for unusually long periods of time. 1/10/2018 12:26 PM 5 I liked the more conservative aspect of La Verne. I think that has changed over time. 1/10/2018 12:23 PM 6 Don’t need anymore houses squished in every piece of open land. 1/10/2018 12:16 PM 7 I am not happy with the current unrest in both LVPD and the LVFD. 1/10/2018 12:10 PM 8 to much commercialism 1/10/2018 12:07 PM

17 Please have more police patrolling. Give the fire department what they need. 1/10/2018 11:19 AM 18 As above, would prefer more for the younger families and students. Along with the lifestyle choices of most of them which more closely resemble the culture of Claremont 1/10/2018 11:17 AM
19 I don’t like the fact that the city is allowing homeowners to let the outside of their property get run down and not maintained.
1/10/2018 11:15 AM

I wish we had a few more community events like Monrovia's Friday night street fair. Everyone keeps their business area nice, and updated. It is a good look.

26 Growth has generally been well-managed, maintaining its historic community characteristics. 1/10/2018 10:35 AM 27 I dont like how we have so many smoke and nail salons in the city. We need good eating places. 1/10/2018 10:34 AM 28 I haven’t seen negative things taking place. 1/10/2018 10:33 AM 29 Do not like the number of “dollar store” type businesses. 1/10/2018 10:31 AM 30 Good city improvements but growing traffic is a concern. 1/10/2018 10:29 AM 31 Needs more restaurants and less Asian foods/business. Also we don’t need anymore “Dollar Tree” type stores.
1/10/2018 10:27 AM
32 I like that new businesses have come in and it still retains that hometown atmosphere. 1/10/2018 10:25 AM 33 above 1/10/2018 10:24 AM

37 although I haven't been in the city long enough to recognize changes 1/10/2018 10:20 AM 38 crime has risen 1/10/2018 10:20 AM
39 I like the small town feel that La Verne has and we should always strive to maintain it. 1/10/2018 10:18 AM 40 I don't like how there are a lot of empty businesses. 1/10/2018 10:17 AM 41 I like how old town is being treated as a community center. The public safety people seem to really care about people and the community.

42 Crime is on the rise. 1/10/2018 5:34 AM
43 Getting rid of the golf course which was stopped to build expensive homes above the city was a poor idea.

45 Too much commercial construction 1/9/2018 7:48 PM

53 La Verne is not progressing! My family often wonders who do we have working in our city planning department? They have absolutely no vision and no desire to allow our city to progress! Is having multiple dollar stores & massage shops progression?
1/9/2018 4:27 PM
54 Traffic is getting terrible 1/9/2018 4:03 PM
55 Eastbound Foothill Blvd from Damien to Town center Drive lacks a bicycle lane; very dangerous. 1/9/2018 3:48 PM 56 Progressive improvements 1/9/2018 3:37 PM
57 Although the City often identifies itself as a small, historic, people oriented town, this became diluted as it developed. Moving from its historic, tree shaded roots, it adopted auto centric sprawl designs, and more recently almost all new developments have been gated communities further isolating neighborhoods. The main buisiness district (Foothill) is generally human hostile, and lacks a sense of continuity, and human scale.
1/9/2018 3:30 PM
58 Hearing we may lose the police and get sheriffs, not a pleasant thought. 1/9/2018 3:28 PM 59 Hasn't changed much. 1/9/2018 3:17 PM

29 Focus on creating more human scale / complete environments. This would include trees in the neighborhood that lack them, medians on the vast,stark roads running through the neighborhoods, and high quality infrastructure allowing movement without requiring a vehicle. 1/9/2018 3:30 PM
30 Better restaurants. There's no place affordable and good to eat. Glad to see Blaze coming in. 1/9/2018 3:05 PM 31 more police in the night 3 officers are not enough at night even it out between day and night as far as police officers for our safty .

1 Clean up the city and it’s commercial buildings and more people will spend money in La Verne.

Then we wont have to travel to claremont and other cities to shop and enjoy ourselves. 1/10/2018 12:42 PM
2 I shop in pomona, i bank in glendora, i go to the movies in claremont, san dimas is across the street, artificial political lines create artificial problems, work together with neighboring cities reduce duplicaton of effort
1/10/2018 12:36 PM
3 What is going on with forcing seniors who have retired here because of superior community to lose mobile homes and be kicked out of city to become HOMELESS due to life investment in their home becoming land sold to commercial or unaffordable living which in most cases are also not suited to senior physical abilities???? These people have lived here, participated in community in valuable ways such as free helping in all levels of schools by very qualified retired teachers,offering free services to many other community projects by equally qualified people, financially supported local businesses almost exclusively Now in their last year's they are being told to go??? makes it seen like La AVERNE is ONLY motivated by the dollar, NOT LOYALTY, CARING FOR HUMANITY, COMMUNITY SERVICE...JUST MONEY..
1/10/2018 12:36 PM
4 More housing with bigger yards. Also areas patroled more. 1/10/2018 12:31 PM 5 You are ALL doing a great job! Council members and the mayor and it would be great to see you support one another instead of berate the accomplishments that have been made. This is a great place to live and it must change as the world changes. Work together :) 1/10/2018 12:30 PM
6 Enforce city ordinance code violations to homeowners who are bringing down home price values by not maintaining their property aesthetically.
1/10/2018 12:17 PM
7 Take note from Claremont and what a real functioning downtown is like. Listen to people!! 1/10/2018 12:10 PM 8 I would like the city to work on enhancing the traffic situation in LaVerne. The traffic has gotten worse throughout the years with the increased development to the east. It is important to work with Caltrans to create a 4th lane on the freeway to accommodate the increased development in the inland empire. Secondly, I know it is difficult to maintain the “small town” character of the City while trying to encourage economic growth, with the emphasis of continuing to focus business activities on the Foothill corridor and areas south of Arrow Highway and not encroaching into residential neighborhoods.
1/10/2018 12:07 PM
9 Access to and parking for Old Town is becoming more and more difficult. I believe that Old Town is very important for the general cohesiveness of the community and making this an easier place to visit and eat and shop is of great importance.

11 Maintain city owned green space. Entering Via Arroyo put in a Ranch La Verne Brick Entrance & maintain the area. Keep neighborhood looking good, not full of weeds or dead plants. 1/10/2018 11:37 AM
12 The Verizon cell service is awful in and outside of the home. 1/10/2018 11:36 AM 13 Add more activities to parks and rev for 8 year old boys it’s either for older or younger or lots of dance gymnastics and cheer...
1/10/2018 11:33 AM
14 Do not exchange properties with county for the golf course. 1/10/2018 11:33 AM 15 Regrettably I have not been able to attend any of the general plan update meetings. However, I trust that our leadership has the best interest of our city and its residents in mind, and believe that they will act to maintain a safe and comfortable city that we all enjoy. I do believe that attracting New shops and restaurants will help to make the city more of a destination for residence within the city and surrounding communities, which will help bolster our image and provide additional revenue in the years to come.

16 It would be great to adapt the culture seen in Claremont on a La Verne scale. Claremont has the multiple colleges so goes for a large old town, we have ULV and we shouldn't be fighting the students there or the young families coming from them but embracing them and working to incorporate and make them feel more a part of the overall community. Students at ULV who are from La Verne often feel treated outside while attending school since the community often wants business only from the elderly or the older families.
1/10/2018 11:26 AM
17 20 years living on Golden Hill Road and heavier traffic and not enough stop signs to slow down hotroding even during school bus loading and unloading. 40 mph is not observed! 1/10/2018 11:26 AM
18 We need to get our population out of their cars. Lets create a small college town feel. Keep our historical core intact. We are a unique foothill town. Wilderness is key. 1/10/2018 11:13 AM
19 Gain some kind of control of the fire fighters. Hire better people that share my sense of community.

Remind fire fighters that L A County is hiring.

20 Wish the city of La Verne could have remained like it was in 1986 when we purchased our home. It was like living in the country.

21 I would love to see more high quality restaurants, and fewer dollar stores/nail salons. 1/10/2018 11:02 AM 22 The City of Rancho Cucamonga is using a new rapid-feedback service called FlashVote (www.flashvote.com) to gather public input and increase citizen engagement. It might be a good fit for La Verne's General Plan Update (and in general).
1/10/2018 11:02 AM
23 Please don’t grow too large! I love our small town atmosphere. Please keep the Old Town area pedestrian friendly. Don’t add a lot of condos or apartments that will increase the traffic in an already congested area.
1/10/2018 10:57 AM
24 Public services are affordable, friendly, and available. The police, emergency, and fire depot do a great job. Public works is also solid. Keep it up!!

25 La Verne is showing its age with baby-boomers moving out of La Verne; Local taxes continue to rise with no relief in sight; The restaurant building on the corner of Wheeler and Foothill has been vacant for over three years and a constant reminder that LV cannot attract a high-end restaurant i.e. Red Lobster, El Torito, Flemings or other well-know entity 1/10/2018 10:54 AM
26 Stop giving lines of credit to local business. 1/10/2018 10:44 AM 27 I am concerned by people who do not live in la verne being encouraged to come to our schools.

Some of these come from poor and gang ridden areas and home that bring down our scores and safety in our schools. Also these people bringing their kids to school provide opportunity for theft etc. At oak mesa the students who live in the attendance area are now the minority. This is not right!
1/10/2018 10:44 AM
28 I loved the addition of Sprouts! More businesses of that caliber, please! 1/10/2018 10:43 AM 29 Need to keep the city an “All-American “ type city. No more small Asian owned businesses and any signage needs to only be in English.
1/10/2018 10:38 AM
30 right now most of us take our money out of this city to go eat. lets fix that. 1/10/2018 10:30 AM 31 Would love to see the City get involved in obtaining a popular restaurant at the corner of Wheeler and Foothill.

53 We have too many empty retail spaces! Be more selective, enough with the massage and dollar shops! Is that the only shops we can attract to come to our city? When will we see something built in the empty lot next to Edwards cinema?

3 Introduction
The City of La Verne is updating its Housing Element as part of the 2021-2029 Housing Element Cycle (Cycle 6). The Housing Element Update process is a unique opportunity to connect with residents of La Verne and learn more about residents’ values, priorities, concerns, and ideas.

As part of the community outreach, two community surveys were conducted online using the SurveyMonkey platform. The two surveys gathered information on housing-related issues. Survey #1, which was posted on October 25, 2020 and closed on January 24, 2021, focused on existing conditions to better understand the characteristics of households in La Verne. Survey #2, which was posted on October 25, 2020 and closed on January 24, 2021 focused on identifying the community's housing needs and priorities.

This report is a summary of the responses received and the general themes that emerged.

To help gain insight into the profile of respondents, included in each survey was a question asking the respondent to identify whether they live in La Verne or do not live in La Verne. This Report summarizes the results of both surveys based on the respondent’s answer to this question; in other words, the results of each question/topic area are grouped into resident responses (people who live in La Verne) and non-resident responses (people who do not live in La Verne). The breakdown of response types by group is included in the summary for each survey.

LA VERNE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE

VISIONING WORKSHOPS SUMMARY REPORT
Fall 2017

November 21, 2022, City Council Meeting
La Verne General Plan Update Visioning Workshop Summary Report | Fall 2017 2

INTRODUCTION
The City of La Verne initiated their General Plan Update process in June of 2017 and simultaneously began a multifaceted outreach program to engage community members . The outreach program for this project is inclusive, educational, and designed to facilitate a meaningful conversation with the La Verne community about the issues and opportunities that are most important to them. The objectives established for the comprehensive outreach program are to:
• Educate the public on the City’s history, existing conditions, socioeconomic trends, and fiscal health • Develop a long-term vision
• Build capacity for future public outreach and education • Engage key stakeholders to perpetuate long-term involvement • Engage a broad spectrum of the City, particularly those who are typically silent • Raise the profile of the General Plan and establish a greater connection to current planning issues The General Plan update effort will involve numerous opportunities for the public to learn about and provide their input, including traditional in -person workshops and open houses and online surveys and forums. In addition, the City is in the process of establishing a General Plan Advisory Committee which will be tasked with providing input and guidance on policy direction in the General Plan. This Summary Report memorializes what was discussed at three Visioning Workshops held throughout the Fall of 2017. Additional summaries will be prepared as other outreach programs are completed as part of this project.

ADVERTISEMENTS
All three Visioning Workshops were advertised on the project website (www .laverne.generalplan.org), in the La Verne City Manager Monthly Newsletter, and via social media platforms including NextDoor and Facebook.

Additionally, flyers were posted at City Hall and at key locations throughout the community. In advance of the third Visioning Workshop (held in November), bilingual event flyers (in English and Spanish) were sent home with Bonita Unified School District students. Finally, individuals that signed-up to receive notifications on the project website and/or provided their email address at City Hall or previous Visioning Workshops received personal electronic invitations to subsequent meetings.

VISIONING WORKSHOP SUMMARY
In the Fall of 2017 the City hosted a series of three Visioning Workshops to begin its conversation with the community regarding the ongoing General Plan Update. Approximately 100 people attended some or all of the Workshops. All three Workshops includ ed an overview of the General Plan project , including why the City is updating its General Plan, topics the General Plan is required to address, and the project schedule . Each Workshop addressed different topics and individual and group activities were completed that helped participants communicate their ideas to City Staff and the consultant team. Copies of the presentations for each Workshop are available on the project website. The program and results for each Workshop are described below.

Visioning Workshop #1 (9/26/17): Vision, Assets, and Challenges The first General Plan Visioning Workshop was held on Tuesday September 26 th, 2017 at the La Verne City
Council Chambers. Approximately 40 individuals attended this Workshop. Following a brief presentatio n on the General Plan Update, the consultant team facilitated two activities.

Activity: Assets, Challenges, and Vision Post-It Note
The first activity was an individual exercise. Meeting attendees were provided stacks of blank Post -It notes and asked to write-down what they think are La Verne’s biggest assets and challenges along with their vision for the future of La Verne. The results are summarized by topic area on the following pages. Questioned posed to the group for their consideration included:
• What do you like most about La Verne?
• What should stay the same?
• What are your main concerns as La Verne looks to the future? • What needs to change?
• What three things should La Verne accomplish in the next 20 years? November 21, 2022, City Council Meeting

The second activity of the first Visioning Workshop asked participants to review large-scale maps of the City and highlight areas that need special focused attention as part of the General Plan Update, including areas that should be preserved and protect and areas where land use change should be considered. Working in small groups, attendees answered the following questions and highlighted the areas on the map:
• Where are the City’s key destinations or community gathering places? • What are the greatest assets in these areas?
• Are there certain areas in the City that should be improved? • Are new community gathering areas or focal points needed? • Where should new land uses be located?
• Should existing land uses change?
Following an instruction guide, the small groups used colored markers to identify the following types of areas:
• Blue – Focus Areas (growth, preservation, revitalization, gathering places) • Orange – Job Growth (business, industrial)
• Brown – Restaurants and Retail
• Red – High Density Housing
• Green –Agricultural, open space, habitat conservation, or rural areas • Black – Public facilities and Notes
After working on the maps, each table reported-back to the entire group summarizing their key ideas. The results of the mapping activity are included in Appendix A. General themes included:
• Preserve and protect natural open space in north La Verne • Improve restaurant and retail offerings along Foothill Boulevard and Arrow Highway • Give special attention to development along Arrow Highway and around the new Gold Line station • Create new multimodal connections throughout the community and improve traffic November 21, 2022, City Council Meeting

Visioning Workshop #2 (10/19/17): Guiding Principles, Vision Statement, and Placemaking The second Visioning Workshop, held on Thursday October 19 th, 2017 at the La Verne Community Center, focused on three major topics: establishing a set of guiding principles, crafting a vision statement for La Verne, and exploring opportunities to enhance placemaking throughout the community. Approximately 50 people attended this workshop, including several that also attended the first Workshop in September.

Activity: Guiding Principles
The first activity of the second Visioning Workshop was an individual activity where participants were aske d to vote for their top three choices for “guiding principles” from a list developed based on the feedback received at the first Visioning Workshop. Participants were provided three “dot” stickers and asked to review a list of 14 possible guiding principles and stick their “dot” next to the principle they vote for. Participants could assign all three dots to the same principle or divide the dots as they preferred. The results of this activity, starting with the principle that received the most votes, is provided below.

Activity: Vision Statement
The second activity at the second Workshop addressed the need to craft a long-term Vision Statement. A Vision Statement is a description of what La Verne wants to become through the implementation of the General Plan.

It provides a sense of purpose and mission for the General Plan, and sets the tone for the Plan’s guiding principles to aid in the development of goals, policies and actions that will guide development in the coming years. Participants were presented with a range of sample Vision Statements from other communities around California, and working in small groups, each table was tasked with developing a brief Vision Statement for La Verne. Below are the results of this activity.

• La Verne is a safe and livable community with quiet, diverse neighborhoods where raising a family is the focus. It has accessible open spaces, safe places to live, work and play, and quality educational opportunities. It has a thriving historical downtown for retail and dining. A balance of multi-generational residents which promotes a special social interaction. Centralized location and access to major southern California destinations.
• A city that responds and honors its past through thoughtful development that maintains its historic character.
• La Verne…an adaptive, traditional community with a small -town feel. Close knit. Community events.

Great schools and programs. Community pride.
• Maintain high-level vibrant, small-town atmosphere, safe environment. Bicycle and pedestrian friendly town. Strong sense of belonging for its residents. Historical values, art. • La Verne – a community where people of all ages live harmoniously with strong public safety organizations, healthy high-quality/high-tech organizations support a robust local economy. • In 20 38, La Verne continues to maintain a small- town atmosphere and a cooperative sense of community. Taxes are kept low by industries in touch with today’s new technology and ideas. Pleasant and quiet atmosphere with beautiful streets and maintained homes both new and old preserving the history of days yore. Families come together.
• La Verne will remain a clean safe city with a small-town atmosphere. A town where young families come to establish themselves as well as retirees to live out their golden years. Served by well-operated police and fire departments, the City is attractive to small and large businesses alike. Home to one of American’s top ten universities and top-rated schools.
• A safe quiet rural city that has good schools and a stable housing community that is focused on maintaining a community culture that values/respects its past through thoughtful development of its historic character, business/property owners who are involved in the community. • Safe quiet neighborhoods with reasonable height limits and carefully planned density. Attractive environmentally sensitive landscaping with more trees. Traffic calming measures that encourage pedestrian, bicycle, and public transit use. Easy access to open space in cooperation with neighboring cities.
• La Verne is a highly desirable community to live, learn, work, and recreate a safe and quiet small -town atmosphere while maturing into an attractive, vibrant, and sustainable community. La Verne retains the quaint downtown with opportunity for growth through alternative transportation and public transportation.
• La Verne is a highly desirable community to live for people of all ages and income. It strives to maintain the small- town feel while maturing into a city that attracts and retains high -quality jobs. La Ve rne continues to prioritize public safety to maintain the small-town feel. La Verne provides a strong sense of belonging for its residents.

Activity: Placemaking in La Verne
The third activity of the second Visioning Workshop expanded on the mapping exerc ise conducted at the first workshop and asked additional questions focused on placemaking in La Verne. Placemaking is a people - centered approach to the planning, design, and management of the spaces that comprise gathering places in a community, including streets, sidewalks, parks, buildings, and other public or private spaces. The goal is to promote interaction between people and foster healthier, more social and economically viable communities.

As part of the overview presentation, participants were presented with examples of “placemaking in action” and discussed how sociability, uses and activities, access and linkages, and comfort and image make a “great place”.

Participants were asked to answer the following placemaking questions for La Verne:
• What are the key landmarks within the City? How could these areas be improved? • Where are your major activity nodes, destinations and gathering places? Where should new ones be located?
• Are there different neighborhoods/districts in La Verne? • What are the City’s defining viewsheds?
• Which corridors or intersections need special attention? • Where are the City’s major gateways?
Using markers and graphic symbols, small groups worked together around large- format maps of the City to answer these questions. The results of this mapping activity are presented in Appendix A. In general, the groups identified the following key features as central to placemaking in La Verne:
• Preservation of views to Marshall Canyon and the San Gabriel Mountains • Hiking opportunities in north La Verne
• Marshall Canyon Golf Course as a node of activity
• Live Oak Reservoir as a community landmark
• Parks and recreation spaces as major activity nodes
• Community gateways at: Baseline Road and Foothill Boulevard, Bonita Avenue, Fairplex , and freeway exits – note that several groups identified gateways into the community that are actually outside La Verne, demonstrating the interconnectedness of adjacent communities • Protect Old Town La Verne as the City’s historic core, which includes a number of landmarks and activity nodes
• Identify Brackett Field as an activity node, gateway, and landmark • Identify Metropolitan Water District facility as a landmark which will impact land use decisions • Identify historic and cultural resources and preserve and protect them throughout the community Visioning Workshop #3 (11/30/17): Circulation and Mobility The third and final Visioning Workshop was held on Thursday November 20 th, 2017 at the Community Center at
City Hall. Approximately 30 people attended this event. The focus of the third workshop was on circulation and mobility in La Verne, including how people get around (cars, walking, biking, transit) and regional transit connections including existing Metrolink stations at the Fairplex (seasonal) and North Pomona and a future Gold Line station in La Verne. The presentation included background on existing conditions, including existing traffic volumes, transit routes, and accident information. The group also reviewed existing commute patterns (where do people who live in La Verne go for work, and where do people who work in La Verne come from). This information is available as part of the presentation which is posted on the project website.

Complete Streets
To set the stage for a discussion of mobility in La Verne, participants learned more about the Complete Streets Act of 2008 (AB1358) which requires cities, when updating their General Plan, to ensure that local streets and roads meet the needs of all users, of all ages and abilities, including bicyclists, pedestrians, transit riders, and motorists. Streets can and will look different from each other based on their context, community preferences, types and needs of users, land use context, and functionality. Not every street needs to accommodate all types of users, but the network as a whole must address a comprehensive set of multimodal needs.

Activity: Mobility Mapping
Large-format exhibits of the City with existing transit routes mapped on the exhibit were provided to each table of participants. Following an instruction guide, the small groups used colored markers to identify the following types of mobility issues, opportunities and constraints:
• Red – Areas underserved by transit
• Green – Where bike routes should go/places you want to get to on a bike November 21, 2022, City Council Meeting
