1 TO: City Council
FROM: Andrew Vialpando, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Adrian Fernandez, Community and Economic Development Director
MEETING DATE: March 24, 2026
SUBJECT: 2025 Annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Reports

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive and file the City’s 2025 Annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Reports.

BACKGROUND
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65400(a)(2), by April 1 of each year, City staff is required to submit an Annual Progress Report (APR) for the General Plan and also specifically for the Housing Element to the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR). This annual report must address the City's efforts in meeting the programs and Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) targets within its adopted Housing Element.

Pursuant to this requirement, staff prepared the 2024 APRs for City Council review.

The City adopted its current Housing Element in December 2021, revised it in October 2022, and received certification from HCD on October 14, 2022. The current Housing Element covers the years 2021 through 2029 and is a mandated element of the City’s General Plan. It includes information related to the City's existing housing needs, an analysis of the City's population and employment trends, household characteristics, an inventory of land suitable for residential development, and goals, policies, and programs intended to meet the identified housing needs and state-mandated requirements.

Assembly Bill 72 provides HCD authority to revoke Housing Element compliance if it determines that a jurisdiction is not adequately implementing the adopted Housing Element. The City is required to closely track the status of its Housing Element programs to ensure continued compliance. While the City has control over zoning and other

CITY OF LOMITA

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Item No. 9d
Tuesday, March 24, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *202
2 development regulations and policies, the City does not construct or finance actual units.

The effective level of housing construction is impacted by a multitude of financial, geographic, and sociopolitical factors that are beyond the City's regulatory control.

DISCUSSION
The State does not provide a specific form or format to submit the General Plan APR.

The purpose of the report is to demonstrate how the City’s activities correspond to the General Plan’s adopted goals, policies, and implementation measures. The report features those activities that played a significant role in the implementation of the existing General Plan for the calendar year.

Housing Element Annual Report
The APR covers activity from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025. The State developed a standardized APR form for municipalities to utilize for annual reporting purposes, which includes the following tables. The City used the Southern California Association of Governments’ accessory dwelling unit rent analysis to determine RHNA income categories.
• Table A – Housing Development Applications Submitted – lists all new residential units submitted and deemed complete for building permit or entitlement. • Table A2 – Annual Building Activity Report Summary – lists entitlement approvals, building permits, and Certificates of Occupancy for all new residential units, by income level.
• Table B – Regional Housing Needs Allocation Progress – autopopulates with data from prior years and Table A2. This table keeps track of the City’s progress in meeting its RHNA allocation by affordability.
• Tables C, E, F, F2, G, H, I, J, K, & LEAP – City has no related data to share for 2025.
• Table D – Program Implementation Status – describes progress made on the 31 programs identified in the City’s certified Housing Element.

Opportunity Map
Government Code section 65400(a)(2)(E)(I) requires the number of units approved and disapproved located in each type of HCD and California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (CTCAC) opportunity area. The mapping tools are intended to advance the State’s affirmatively furthering fair housing objectives. Table 1 below provides a breakdown of the new residential units per opportunity area. No units were disallowed in 2025.

Review and submittal of the attached report is not a project requiring review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

FISCAL IMPACT
There are no financial implications resulting from this recommendation.

VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization, establish priorities, uniformity and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decision making. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No. 3: Community Engagement & Communications - Building trust through open, inclusive communication.

Housing Element
In 2022, the State certified the City of Lomita’s Housing Element. The Annual Housing Progress Report (Table D of Attachment 2 to the staff report) provides detailed analysis of the progress made towards achieving the housing goals within the 31 programs including the City’s progress in meeting the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). For the 6th Cycle of Housing Element (2021-2029), the City’s RHNA is 829 units.

Although cities do not control and are not required to directly participate in housing production, Lomita aims to work towards and facilitate the production of housing.

Safety Element
On December 21, 2021, City Council certified the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and adopted General Plan Amendment 2021-02 for the updated 2021-2029 Safety Element. The Safety Element goals, policies, and actions provide the City’s safety roadmap with a 20-year horizon, including a comprehensive hazard mitigation and emergency response strategy with five goals, 21 policies, and 64 action items. Since adoption, the City took the following steps towards achieving its safety goals. • Action 1.2a – Identify potential locations for public elective vehicle (EV) charging stations in larger parking lots.
