Program H-3.1.3 in this Housing Element provides for fee waivers or reductions, or other incentives, for housing projects that prepare and implement an affirmative marketing plan designed to attract renters or buyers of diverse demographics including, among other characteristics, familial status (meaning that housing projects seeking to obtain such incentives would not be eligible if they restrict occupant households from including children under the age of 18, or any other combination of family unit recognized by law). The incentives envisioned in Program H-3.1.3 will be prioritized based on factors including racial concentrations from U.S. Census Bureau data products, with an emphasis on avoiding the creation of geographically discernable patterns of segregation or racially

concentrated areas of poverty. The incentives are expected to promote housing production (and, thereby, housing choices) for all persons regardless of age.

6.12.2 Property Ownership Implications
As described in Sections 4.0 and 6.12.1 above, approximately 2.7 square miles of Laguna Woods’ overall 3.3 square miles is occupied by Laguna Woods Village, a private gated community for people aged 55 and older. While there are properties within Laguna Woods Village that are perceived as vacant and might otherwise be potentially available for new housing development, all such property is held in trust by the Golden Rain Foundation for the benefit of the residents of Laguna Woods Village. Applicable governing documents restrict the Golden Rain Foundation’s ability to build housing on, or unilaterally sell/lease, its property. Consequently, housing choice and the prospect of new housing construction is limited in most of Laguna Woods.

Property ownership of existing housing units within Laguna Woods Village is unique in that a large portion of the housing stock is comprised of co-ops wherein residents are members of a corporation which owns all real property, including the dwelling units, carports, and laundry facilities within the corporation’s boundaries, and each member is entitled to occupy a specific dwelling unit under the terms of an occupancy agreement. Consequently, co-op residents do not enjoy the same latitude to modify and maintain their dwelling units as residents of more conventional single-family homes or condominiums, which may impede the development of accessory dwelling units and otherwise affect housing choice, as well as centralize many opportunities for the conservation and revitalization of housing stock with housing corporations rather than residents.

The City’s legal obligation to support the development of accessory dwelling units is addressed in this Housing Element’s Programs H-1.4.1, H-1.4.2, and H-1.4.3. To provide both housing corporations and residents with resources related to the conservation of dwelling units, this Housing Element includes Programs H-2.1.1, H-2.2.2, and H-2.2.3. Program H-2.3.1 complements those programs by formalizing a proactive code enforcement program focusing on housing-related rehabilitation needs, resulting in repairs, and seeking to mitigate potential cost, displacement, and relocation impacts on residents.

6.12.3 Environmental and Topography Constraints
The City has evaluated potential safety hazards that constrain future development within its boundaries and incorporated maps depicting the locations of those constraints within the Safety Element of its General Plan.

According to the Safety Element, fire hazards exist in the wildland-urban interface area in the western edge of Laguna Woods where urban development meets the open space areas west of the City. While some undeveloped land exists within the fire hazard severity zones (Laguna Coast Wilderness Park and Woods End Wilderness Preserve), this land is protected by irrevocable open space easements, which eliminates any possibility of their development. Therefore, the presence of fire hazards in these areas does not constrain housing development.

The Safety Element indicates that special flood hazard areas comprise approximately 26 acres of Laguna Woods. Flood hazards exist in the floodplain along Aliso Creek in the southern portion of

Exhibit C - 52
Laguna Woods and the Golden Rain Foundation’s nine-hole golf course near Paseo del Lago. Both of the areas affected by flooding hazards are within the boundaries of Laguna Woods Village and have been used as recreational amenities for community residents for more than 50 years. As such, the development of new housing on these areas is just as likely to be constrained by the property’s complex land ownership situation (common areas owned and maintained by the Golden Rain Foundation for the use and benefit of Laguna Woods Village residents) as it is by the presence of flood hazards.

According to the Safety Element, there are no mapped fault zones pursuant to the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act that transect Laguna Woods; however, there are several major faults and fault zones in the vicinity of Laguna Woods. Although fault rupture and seismic shaking do present a risk to development in Laguna Woods, these hazards can be addressed by incorporating the design recommendations of engineers and geotechnical professionals. Therefore, seismic hazards do not represent a constraint on new housing development in Laguna Woods.

The Safety Element notes that landslide hazard zones exist in several areas of Laguna Woods, mainly in areas where steep slopes occur. In total, the State considers approximately 77 acres as prone to earthquake-induced landslides. According to the Safety Element, approximately 256 acres of land within Laguna Woods are prone to liquefaction. These areas include a strip of land in the northwestern portion of Laguna Woods, land along El Toro Road west of Calle Sonora, the Aliso Creek corridor, and a broad swath of the southeastern portion of Laguna Woods. Similar to seismic hazards, landslide and liquefaction hazards can be addressed in the design process by incorporating the input of engineers and geotechnical professions. Therefore, these hazards do not represent a constraint on new housing development in Laguna Woods.

6.12.4 Relevant Factors Contributing to Fair Housing
Due to the developed nature of Laguna Woods and the fact that the majority of the City’s existing housing stock is age- and income-restricted, the only way to add housing opportunities to younger residents or residents with lower incomes is to build more housing that is accessible to these populations. The sites that are identified for new housing production in the Housing Element present an opportunity for younger residents or residents with lower incomes to move to Laguna Woods since they exist on sites unaffected by existing age or income restrictions. The selection of these sites present opportunities for and contributes to the addition of fair housing in Laguna Woods.

6.13 CONCLUDING ANALYSIS
Each of the 17 potential housing sites were also analyzed against three additional AFFH data layer maps: (1) areas that are defined by either the TCAC or HCD Opportunity Maps as being an area of “High Segregation and Poverty” or by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as a “Racially or Ethically Concentrated Area of Poverty”; (2) areas identified as State Bill (SB) 535-defined “Disadvantaged Communities”; and (3) locations of cases throughout Laguna Woods that were filed with HUD’s Fair Housing Enforcement and Outreach (FHEO) branch in 2020.

Exhibit C - 53
Analysis of these data sets showed that Laguna Woods does not contain any areas defined by either the TCAC or HCD Opportunity Maps as being an area of High Segregation and Poverty or by HUD as a Racially or Ethically Concentrated Area of Poverty. Although HCD’s guidance for implementing AFFH states that affordable housing should aim to be developed in those areas in order to further fair housing, no such areas exist within Laguna Woods. Furthermore, Laguna Woods does not contain any SB 535-defined Disadvantaged Communities, and, as such, none of Laguna Woods’ potential housing sites are located in a SB 535-defined Disadvantaged Community. Additionally, the entirety of Laguna Woods is located in an area that had less than .01 percent of complaints filed with FHEO in 2020, which means that few to no housing discrimination complaints have been filed in Laguna Woods and that housing discrimination is not currently seen as a major issue within Laguna Woods.

Using the various data available from HCD’s AFFH Data Viewer, each of the 17 sites is situated within a census tract that is desirable from an AFFH standpoint for at least one of the categories described above. Therefore, each of the sites would affirmatively further fair housing opportunities.

Further, all 17 of the potential housing sites are located in census tracts with a higher percentage of disabled residents and a lower median household income than Orange County. In addition, seven of the 17 potential housing sites are located in census tracts with a higher percentage of residents living below the poverty threshold than Orange County, and 11 of the 17 potential housing sites are located in census tracts with a larger number of nonfamily households than married-couple family households. This indicates that the proposed housing sites are not concentrated in an area of elevated poverty, which suggests that the development of new affordable housing units on these sites would facilitate the integration of lower-income households into the community in a way that would affirmatively further fair housing opportunities.

7.0 REALISTIC DEVELOPMENT CAPACITY
Government Code Section 65583.2(c) requires that the City demonstrate that the projected residential development capacity of the sites can realistically be achieved. The number of estimated units should be adjusted, as necessary, based on land use controls and site improvement requirements; the realistic development capacity for the site; typical densities of existing or approved residential developments at a similar affordability level in the surrounding area; and the current or planned availability and accessibility of sufficient water, sewer, and dry utilities.

Each potential development site was independently analyzed to determine the extent to which the number of estimated units required adjustment to ensure that development capacity estimates are realistic. The adjustments identified as necessary are summarized below and have been incorporated into the realistic development capacity estimates in Table N. • None of the sites are constrained by the availability or accessibility of sufficient water, sewer, and dry utilities. Therefore, no adjustments were made on account of those factors. • The net developable area on each site was adjusted to 95 percent of the parcel area to reflect the need to construct on-site improvements, including sidewalks and utility easements, and other land use controls.
• The developable area on Site 8 was adjusted to approximately 60 percent of the parcel due to slope hazard constraints on the western third of the site. • The development capacity on three of the five sites that are currently developed with places of worship (Sites 10–12) and Sites 9 and 17 was limited to 15–20 units per acre to reflect the proximity of those sites to existing, adjacent, lower-density residential uses. • The development capacity on one of the five sites that are currently developed with places of worship (Site 13) and Site 16 was limited to 8–10 units per acre to reflect the proximity of those sites to existing, adjacent, lower-density residential uses. • The development capacity at each of the sites was adjusted to 95 percent of the maximum density, and the number of units was rounded down to the nearest whole number, to reflect that not every housing project is built out to maximum density. • Sites identified as providing development capacity for accommodating very low or low income units (Sites 1–8 and 15) were assigned a density range of 30 to 50 dwelling units per acre (du/ac). This range is realistic, in part, due to examples of comparable affordable housing projects elsewhere in Orange County including, but not limited to, the following:
○ Huntington Beach Seniors, Huntington Beach (Jamboree Housing) – 55.1 du/ac (0.78 acre) ○ Manchester-Orangewood, Anaheim (Jamboree Housing) – 35.7 du/ac (2.86 acres) ○ Miraflores, Anaheim (National Core) – 36.4 du/ac (2.36 acres) ○ Legacy Square, Santa Ana (National Core) – 53.5 du/ac (1.74 acres) ○ Mountain View, Lake Forest (National Core) – 36.2 du/ac (1.96 acres)

The only recent housing development project in Laguna Woods (San Sebastian Apartments) was also constructed at a comparable density of 42.1 du/ac (3.183 acres).

The City has not received any requests to develop housing at densities below those anticipated in this housing sites inventory, including below this 30 to 50 du/ac range. • Sites identified as providing development capacity for accommodating moderate income units (Sites 10–12 and 14) were assigned a density range of 15 to 20 du/ac, or 20 to 30 du/ac. These ranges are realistic, in part, due to examples of comparable affordable housing projects elsewhere in Orange County including, but not limited to, the following:

Residential Medium-Low Density (15 to 20 du/ac)
○ Birch Hills, Anaheim (Jamboree Housing) – 19.8 du/ac (5.8 acres) ○ Santa Angelina, Placentia (National Core) – 16.9 du/ac (3.85 acres) Residential Medium Density (20 to 30 du/ac)
○ Compass Rose, Fullerton (Jamboree Housing) – 26.1 du/ac (1.76 acres) ○ Wesley Village, Garden Grove (Jamboree Housing) – 21.4 du/ac (2.2 acres) The City has not received any requests to develop housing at densities below those anticipated in this housing sites inventory, including below these 15 to 20 du/ac, and 20 to 30 du/ac ranges. • Sites 2 and 10–14 are currently developed with places of worship. It is realistic to assume that housing could be constructed on these sites, in part, due to examples of comparable affordable housing projects co-located with places of worship elsewhere in Orange County including, but not limited to, the following:
○ Legacy Square, Santa Ana (National Core) – 53.5 du/ac (1.74 acres, Santa Ana United Methodist Church)
○ Santa Angelina, Placentia (National Core) – 16.9 du/ac (3.85 acres, Church of the Blessed Sacrament)
○ Wesley Village, Garden Grove (Jamboree Housing) – 21.4 du/ac (2.2 acres, Garden Grove United Methodist Church)
As previously discussed, in 2017, the property owner and a housing developer expressed interest in the Laguna Country United Methodist Church property (Site 14).

Table N estimates the number of new housing units that can realistically be built on each of the 17 potential housing sites based on the adjustments described above. As shown in Table N, the total future housing construction potential on the 17 sites, based on realistic capacities, is 1,196 units.

This includes an excess, or overzoning, of 199 units, or approximately 20 percent more than the 997 units included in the City’s housing needs allocation.

Overzoning helps to (1) ensure that sufficient adequate sites will remain available at all times to meet the remaining unmet housing needs for each income category, per Government Code Section 65863 (“No Net Loss Law”), and (2) compensate for urban land left vacant due to ownership and development constraints, per HCD’s “Housing Element Site Inventory Guidebook Government Code Section 65583.2” published June 10, 2020. HCD also notes that “a sufficient supply of land beyond the time frame of the housing element helps prevent land shortages from bidding up land costs.”

Table N also indicates that the 17 sites have the capacity to accommodate at least 312 lower-income units, which is 49 units, or 18.6 percent more than the 263 lower-income units included in the City’s housing needs allocation. In addition, the sites have the capacity to accommodate at least 211 moderate-income units, which is 19 units, or approximately 9.9 percent more than the 192 moderate income units included in the City’s housing needs allocation. Nine of the sites include maximum densities at or above HCD’s standard threshold for accommodating lower-income units (30 units per acre) on properties 0.5 to 10 acres in size. In total, 11 of the sites could produce a sufficient number of units that would fall within the generally accepted range of financial feasibility for federal- or State-funded projects (50–150 units per project). 10 of the sites are adjacent to at least one other site, which provides opportunities for lot consolidation, thereby improving viability for development/redevelopment.

Of the 315 lower-income units identified in Table N, 22 units on Site 1 are viewed as realistic for development on vacant land, which represents approximately 8 percent of the City’s housing needs allocation for lower-income households. Although the City intends to rely on nonvacant sites to accommodate more than 50 percent of its housing needs allocation for lower-income households, the City has determined that it would not be feasible to develop housing on any other vacant land that is within its jurisdiction. This is due to the fact that, as described in further detail in Section 4.0 of this Housing Sites Inventory and Analysis, most of the limited amount of vacant land that exists within Laguna Woods consists of publicly owned open space properties that are subject to conservation easements or deed restrictions that prohibit future development.

1.0 PROGRESS IN IMPLEMENTATION
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65588, each local government shall review its housing element as frequently as appropriate to evaluate all of the following: (1) the appropriateness of the housing goals, objectives, and policies in contributing to the attainment of the state housing goal, (2) the effectiveness of the housing element in attainment of the community's housing goals and objectives, (3) the progress of the city, county, or city and county in implementation of the housing element, and (4) the effectiveness of goals, policies, and related actions to meet the community’s special housing needs.

State law requires that each Housing Element include a review of the progress made toward achieving the affordable housing goals of the previous Housing Element, and of the effectiveness and appropriateness of those previously adopted objectives. These results should be quantified where possible, but may be qualitative where necessary.

The City of Laguna Wood’s (City) last Housing Element was adopted in 2014, and set forth a series of implementation measures with related objectives and policies for the following issue areas: maintain and improve residential neighborhoods and support quality housing for all residents; promote and encourage the development of housing opportunities to accommodate current and projected housing need; encourage and facilitate the development of affordable housing for all economic segments of the community, especially extremely- and low-income residents; and facilitate housing, transportation, and physical accommodations to aid persons with disabilities. This section reviews the continued appropriateness of these programs, the effectiveness of the current 2014–2021 Housing Element, and the progress in its implementation since 2014.

Table A, below, summarizes the City’s progress for each implementation measure identified in the current Housing Element.

Program 1.A.1: Provide a progress report
on the 2014–2021 Housing Element
programs and quantified objectives as part
of the annual General Plan status reports to
the State.

Ongoing: This is the City’s normal
practice. The City submitted annual
progress reports to the Department of
Housing and Community Development
(HCD) each year during the 2014–2021
Housing Element period.

The City will delete the program
and replace it with Program H4.1.2.

Policy 1.B: Promote, encourage, and facilitate efforts to preserve the City’s housing stock.

Program 1.B.1: Continue to promote ongoing building maintenance activities. To promote building maintenance, the City
will:
 Identify available funds for building
maintenance activities and energy
efficiency upgrades.
 Disseminate public information on
available housing programs, such as the
energy efficient equipment retrofit
program (CDBG) at public counters and
the City’s website.
 Assist property owners and property
managers in their efforts to identify and
mitigate housing maintenance issues.

Ongoing: In 2010, the City obtained a
California Energy Commission grant
using federal funds to retrofit City Hall
with dual-pane, low-E windows and
energy efficient lighting and heating,
ventilation, and air conditioning
equipment. The project modeled energy
efficiency retrofits to property owners
and property managers. Through June
2017, the City offered a CDBG funded
Residential Energy Efficiency
Improvement Program. The City
provides resources and assistance daily
regarding housing maintenance at the
building counter and via building
inspections.

The City will delete the program
and replace it with programs H2.1.1, 2.2.1, and 2.2.3.

Objective 2: Promote and encourage the development of housing opportunities to accommodate current and projected housing need.

Policy 2.A: Promote construction of units consistent with the new construction needs identified in the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA).

Program 2.A.1: Work with property owners
in the development of Specific Plans to
guide the development of Urban Activities
Center parcels to include residential
development.

Abandoned: In 2017, after receiving an
application from the property owner,
the City amended the Land Use Element
of the City’s General Plan to delete the
Urban Activities Center land use
designation. All properties formerly
designated as Urban Activities Center
have been re-designated and rezoned.

The City will delete the program
as the City has deleted the Urban
Activities Center land use
designation from the General
Plan.

Program 2.A.2: Work with commercial
property owners to establish residential/
commercial mixed use development
standards for the City’s Commercial land
use district.

Not yet Implemented: Sufficient
housing opportunities to accommodate
the City’s 2014–2021 RHNA allocation
exist without the establishment of
mixed use development standards.

The City will delete the program
and replace it with a new rezoning
program. See Program H-1.1.1.

Zoning Ordinance to identify zones that will
allow the development of transitional
housing [and] facilitate transitional housing
and supportive housing developments that
serve extremely and very low income
households, consistent with Government
Code Section 65583(c)(1). Because
transitional and supportive housing can be
configured in different ways – either as
regular multi-family housing or as group
quarters - the Zoning Ordinance
amendment will ensure that transitional
and supportive housing that function as a
residential use will be treated as residential
uses and only subject to those restrictions
that apply to other residential uses of the
same type in the same zone.

Implemented: Chapter 13.23 of the
Laguna Woods Municipal Code, adopted
in 2011. Laguna Woods Municipal Code
amended in 2018, see Ordinance No.

Program 2.B.3: Review and revise the
Laguna Woods Zoning Ordinance 13.23 in
regards to emergency homeless shelters to
ensure compliance with Government Code
Section 65583(a)(4).

Implemented: Chapter 13.23 of the
Laguna Woods Municipal Code, adopted
in 2011, was amended in 2018.

The City will delete the program

Objective 3: Encourage and facilitate the development of affordable housing for all economic segments of the community, especially extremely- and low-income residents.

Policy 3.A: Recognize the City’s leadership role in the maintenance, preservation, improvement, and development of affordable housing.

Program 3.A.1: Encourage and facilitate
the development of affordable housing by:
 Supporting non-profit organizations that
address housing issues.
 Serving as an intermediary between
non-profit organizations and interested
residential developers.
 Assisting in application preparation and
other efforts to secure funding sources
for development of housing for
extremely low-, very low-, low- and
moderate-income residents.

Ongoing: The City encourages the
development of affordable housing as
required by State law. Resources,
information, and assistance for
developers and other interested parties
are available from City Hall. Seventeen
(17) specifically designated affordable
housing units are located in Laguna
Woods. From 2014 to 2020, the City
received no applications for any new
housing development projects

Program 3.A.2: Continue to encourage and
facilitate the use of the City’s density bonus
provisions to provide affordable housing
opportunities. Revise the density bonus
provisions as necessary in the City’s
Municipal Code to be consistent with State
density bonus law.

Ongoing: Section 13.26.040 of the
Laguna Woods Municipal Code, adopted
in 2013; Laguna Woods Municipal Code
amended in 2018; see Ordinance No.
18-03 and amended in 2020; see
Ordinance No. 20-02.

The City will delete the program
as the City’s residential density
bonus standards are consistent

Program 3.A.3: Encourage residents to
apply, when available, for the Section 8
rental assistance program (through County
of Orange Housing Authority) for extremely
and very low-income rental households.

Inform local rental property owners and
eligible residents of Section 8 assistance
and Section 8 waitlist openings through
flyers and the City’s website. Provide
technical assistance during the application
process to interested residents. While the
City endeavors to maintain the current
level of assistance through the Section 8 (72
vouchers) program, the City has no
jurisdiction over the funding and operation
of the Section 8 voucher program.

Ongoing: The City receives information
and application forms for Section 8
housing through the County of Orange
and makes them available to residents
from City Hall.

The City will delete the program
as the City provides referrals to
the OC Housing Authority as a
normal business practice.

Program 3.A.4: Continue to use CDBG
funds to fund projects that improve and
maintain the quality of the City’s housing
stock and residential infrastructure. While
the City endeavors to maintain the current
level of assistance through the CDBG
program, the City has no jurisdiction over
the funding and operation of the CDBG
program.

Ongoing: Through June 2017, the City
offered a CDBG-funded Residential
Energy Efficiency Improvement
Program. Uncertainty surrounding the
future availability of CDBG funds, as well
as the impact of increasing compliance
requirements and law enforcement
costs on City resources, resulted in the
end of the program. Staff continues to
evaluate other potential, future uses of
CDBG housing rehabilitation funds.

The City will delete the program.

2.0 EFFECTIVENESS OF THE ELEMENT/SPECIAL NEEDS POPULATIONS The 2014–2021 Housing Element resulted in changes to the Laguna Woods Zoning Ordinance that resulted in compliance of emergency homeless shelters with State law, as well as identification of zones that allow the development of transitional housing and facilitation of transitional housing and supportive housing developments that serve extremely- and very-low income households in those zones. For the reasons set forth in Table A, the City was unable to complete certain programs included in the 2014–2021 Housing Element, such as the creation of the two new housing units set by the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) for the 5th Housing Element Cycle; working with property owners in the development of Specific Plans to guide the development of Urban Activities Center parcels to include residential development; the establishment of residential/commercial mixed use development standards for the City’s Commercial land use district; and the retrofit of dwelling units and common facilities for handicapped accessibility. Overall, the 2014–2021 Housing Element was effective in providing fair housing assistance, resources, and information to residents participating in the County of Orange Consolidated Program to provide housing for special needs populations, particularly extremely and very-low income persons, and continuing to maintain and improve residential neighborhoods.

Refer to Table A in the previous section for a discussion of whether the programs included in the 2014–2021 Housing Element should be continued, modified, or deleted based on their effectiveness.

Table A also addresses various programs related to the housing needs of special needs populations (Programs 2.B.1, 2.B.2, 2.B.3, 3.A.1, and 4.A.1).

3.0 APPROPRIATENESS OF GOALS, OBJECTIVES, POLICIES, AND PROGRAMS The 2014–2021 Housing Element established a comprehensive and firm basis for the City to move forward towards the achievement of the goals, policies, and programs in the document. As a result, Table A shows that many of the programs were achieved or implemented. Some major amendments included in the 2021–2029 Housing Element incorporate what has been learned from the results of the 2014–2021 Housing Element, including:
• Inclusion of a frequently asked questions (FAQs) section for the RHNA process to promote clarity and a common understanding of both the RHNA process and the City’s associated obligations. • Inclusion of “goals” in addition to “policy objectives” to provide declarative statements that set forth the City’s approach to each of the priority issues. • Objective 2 in the 2014–2021 Housing Element evolved into Policy Objective H-1.1 in the 2021– 2029 Housing Element, which includes making sites available to accommodate current and projected housing needs for groups of all income levels in accordance with California Government Code Section 65583(c)(1). For implementation of Policy Objective H-1.1, the following program was added:
○ Rezone the 17 potential housing sites identified in the Housing Sites Inventory and Analysis to accommodate the City’s housing needs allocation.
• Objective 3 in the 2014–2021 Housing Element evolved into Policy Objective H-1.2 in the 2021– 2029 Housing Element, which states that the City should assist in developing adequate housing to meeting the needs of extremely low, very low- low, and moderate-income households. For implementation of Policy Objective H-1.2, the following programs were added:
○ Prepare and maintain a webpage with information related to the 17 potential housing sites identified in the Housing Sites Inventory and Analysis, including a Geographic Information System (GIS) map layer with geospatial information.
○ Conduct a market study and then amend the existing inclusionary housing ordinance to modify the minimum percentages of new housing units that must be deed-restricted for extremely low, very low, and low-income households, as feasible and advantageous to promote the development of affordable housing.
○ Adopt an ordinance creating an expedited and fee-reduced lot consolidation process for consolidations involving any one or more of the 17 potential housing sites identified in the Housing Sites Inventory and Analysis for the purpose of developing housing projects in which at least 5% of housing units are affordable for extremely low income households; at least 10% of housing units are affordable for very low or low-income households; or, at least 50% of housing units are affordable for moderate-income households. To be eligible, the housing units shall be subject to an affordability covenant for at least 55 years.

○ Adopt an ordinance waiving or reducing City building permit fees for housing projects in which at least 5% of housing units are affordable for extremely low income households; at least 10% of housing units are affordable for very low or low-income households; or, at least 50% of housing units are affordable for moderate-income households. To be eligible, the housing units shall be subject to an affordability covenant for at least 55 years. ○ Amend various, existing housing-related provisions of the Laguna Woods Municipal Code to promote regulatory clarity.
○ Continue to maintain website information regarding fees, exactions, and affordability requirements imposed by the City that are applicable to housing development projects, in accordance with California Government Code Section 65940.1. • Objective 4 in the 2014–2021 Housing Element evolved into Policy Objective H-1.3 in the 2021– 2029 Housing Element, which effectively changes the wording to provide reasonable accommodations for housing that is not only designed for persons with disabilities, but also intended for occupancy by or with supportive services for persons with disabilities. For implementation of Policy Objective H-1.3, the following programs were added:
○ Continue to consider transitional housing a residential use of property, subject only to those restrictions that apply to other residential dwellings of the same type in the same zoning district.
○ Continue to consider supportive housing a residential use of property, subject only to those restrictions that apply to other residential dwellings of the same type in the same zoning district.
○ Continue to allow supportive housing, as defined by California Government Code Section 65650, as a use permitted by right in all zoning districts where multifamily and mixed uses are permitted, as provided in California Government Code Article 11 (commencing with Section 65650).
○ Amend various, existing housing-related provisions of the Laguna Woods Municipal Code to conform to state law.
• The creation of a new objective, Policy Objective H-1.4, which incentivizes and promotes the creation of accessory dwelling units that can be offered at affordable rent for very low, low-, or moderate-income households.
• The creation of a new objective, Policy Objective H-1.5, which makes sites available to accommodate emergency housing needs for homeless persons and families. • Objective 1 in the 2014–2021 Housing Element evolved into Policy Objective H-2.1, Policy Objective H-2.2, and Policy Objective H-2.3, which add promotion of accessible and accommodating housing options for persons with special needs and promotion of housing

conservation and revitalization. For implementation of Policy Objectives H-2.1, H-2.2, and H-2.3, the following programs were added:
○ Prepare and maintain a webpage with information on home improvement-related financial assistance opportunities available to extremely low, very low, and low-income households.

Train City staff to make referrals using the webpage.
○ Investigate potential incentives for property owners to extend existing affordability covenants beyond the planned expiration date. If feasible and economical, adopt such incentives. ○ Prepare and maintain a webpage with information on home improvement-related financial assistance opportunities available to persons with special needs. Train City staff to make referrals using the webpage.
○ Adopt an ordinance waiving or reducing City building permit fees for improvements to the home of a person at least 60 years of age with a qualifying disability that are made to accommodate that disability, as provided for by California Health and Safety Code Section 17951.7. Consider including provisions allowing for similar building permit fee waivers or reductions for improvements to the home of a person with a qualifying disability that are made to accommodate that disability, regardless of age. Prepare and maintain a flyer with related information.
○ Provide opportunities for reimbursements, grants, or other forms of financial assistance to support home improvements that increase accessibility or functionality for persons with special needs.
○ Formalize a proactive code enforcement program that focuses on housing-related rehabilitation needs, results in repairs, and seeks to mitigate potential cost, displacement, and relocation impacts on residents.
• Program 3.A.5 in the 2014–2021 Housing Element was expanded to Goal H-3 in the 2021–2029 Housing Element, which involves the administration of housing and community development programs and activities in a manner to affirmatively further fair housing. Goal H-3 includes policy objectives and implementation programs relating to the following:
○ Enhancing housing mobility and protecting existing residents from displacement. • The creation of a new goal, Goal H-4, with its own set of policy objectives, which calls for analysis related to Housing Element implementation. This includes annual monitoring of the newly adopted Housing Element and coordination of the implementation of the newly adopted Housing Element with water and sewer agencies.

This update to the Housing Element revises existing programs and includes new programs, where appropriate, to ensure that the document reflects the City’s priorities and that updated requirements of California State law are addressed. Refer to the General Plan for the goals, policies, and programs of this Housing Element.

8.2 CITY HALL WASTE DROP-OFF PROGRAM
(PERSONAL MEDICATION AND HOMEGENERATED SHARPS WASTE DISPOSAL) This page is intentionally blank.

ITEM 8.2
CC  03-22-2023 ARM ITEM 8.2 – AR Page 1 of 3
City of Laguna Woods
Agenda Report
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Christopher Macon, City Manager
FOR: March 22, 2023 Adjourned Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: City Hall Waste Drop-Off Program (Personal Medication and Home-Generated Sharps Waste Disposal)
Recommendation

1. Authorize the City Manager to discontinue accepting unwanted personal medication at City Hall for subsequent disposal due to the implementation of California Senate Bill 212 (Jackson, Chapter 1004, Statutes of 2018), which established stewardship requirements for drug manufacturers and distributors.

AND

2. Reaffirm the City’s commitment to accepting unwanted home-generated sharps at City Hall for subsequent disposal.

Background
California Senate Bill 212 (Jackson, Chapter 1004, Statutes of 2018) (also known as California’s Pharmaceutical and Sharps Waste Stewardship Law) requires the manufacturers or distributors of covered drugs or sharps to establish and implement stewardship programs providing for the collection, transportation, and disposal of unwanted drugs or sharps. Stewardship programs may be offered individually or by way of partnerships between multiple manufacturers and/or distributors.

Senate Bill 212 was signed into law in September 2018, but allowed several years for manufacturers and distributors to develop stewardship programs. The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (“CalRecycle”) anticipated full ITEM 8.2
ITEM 8.2 – AR Page 2 of 3 CC  03-22-2023 ARM
implementation of stewardship programs by late 2022.

In the absence of stewardship programs assigning the responsibility for disposing of unwanted personal medication and home-generated sharps elsewhere, the City has offered a program allowing residents to drop off unwanted personal medication and home-generated sharps at City Hall for subsequent disposal. The City contracts with WM Curbside, LLC for disposal services at a current cost of approximately $8,000 per year for personal medication and $5,000 per year for home-generated sharps. Rates will increase beginning July 1, 2024.

Discussion
Today’s meeting is an opportunity for City Council action, as well as public input, on the proposed discontinuance of City Hall’s acceptance of personal medication for subsequent disposal due to the implementation of Senate Bill 212. With Senate Bill 212 creating a legal and financial obligation for manufacturers and distributors to offer the type of program currently offered by the City, staff recommends that the City discontinue accepting unwanted personal medication at City Hall and, instead, refer residents to local stewardship programs. If the City Council takes the recommended action, staff anticipates “phasing out” the acceptance of unwanted personal medication over a three-month period to allow time for public education.

Staff also recommends that the City Council reaffirm its commitment to accepting unwanted home-generated sharps at City Hall for subsequent disposal.

Personal Medication
Two Laguna Woods pharmacies – CVS (24167 Paseo De Valencia) and Rite Aid (24330 El Toro Road) – have drop-off bins that residents can use, free of charge, to dispose of unwanted personal medication. Other nearby drop-off bin locations are listed at https://med-project.org/locations/california/meds/find-a-location. There are currently nine drop-off bins located within five miles of Laguna Woods.

The types of personal medication that can be placed in stewardship program dropoff bins mirror the types of personal medication accepted at City Hall.

Other than location, a key difference between the City’s program and stewardship program drop-off bins is that pharmacies tend to be open longer hours than City Hall. For a comparison of Laguna Woods locations, please see Table 1.

Home-Generated Sharps
Staff is not recommending any change to the City’s acceptance of unwanted homegenerated sharps. While Senate Bill 212 imposes stewardship obligations on the manufacturers and distributors of sharps, those obligations differ from the City’s program in that they only require mail-back services to be offered (e.g., providing postage-prepaid containers that can be filled with unwanted sharps and mailed to a facility for subsequent disposal). The City’s program is more user-friendly in that it allows residents to drop-off unwanted home-generated sharps at City Hall.

Beginning with costs incurred in September 2022, Senate Bill 212 allows cities to be reimbursed for their sharps disposal efforts, meaning that the City’s payments to WM Curbside for disposing of unwanted home-generated sharps are now covered by sharps manufacturers and distributors. Unfortunately, Senate Bill 212 does not provide a similar reimbursement opportunity for unwanted personal medication.

Fiscal Impact
Discontinuing City Hall’s acceptance of personal medication is anticipated to result in General Fund savings of $8,000 or more per fiscal year.

Since September 2022, City Hall’s acceptance of unwanted home-generated sharps has been offset by Senate Bill 212 reimbursements. So far, this fiscal year, staff has submitted reimbursement requests for $2,592.24 in disposal costs.
