STAFF REPORT

Section: PUBLIC HEARINGS
Meeting Date: February 19,
2025
TO: Mayor & Members of the City Council
FROM: Diego Viramontes, City Manager
Paul Saldaña , Economic Development Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of Resolution No. 2025-14 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL

OF THE CITY OF MCFARLAND RECOMMENDING APPROVING AND
ADOPTING THE 6TH CYCLE 2023-2031 HOUSING ELEMENT FOR

MCFARLAND
SUMMARY:

In compliance with State of California law, the 6th Cycle 2023-2031 McFarland Housing Element presents a comprehensive assessment of housing needs in the City and lays out goals, objectives, policies, and programs to assist the City in meeting its housing needs. The Housing Element also describes how the City plans to accommodate its Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA),
McFarland’s 6th Cycle 2023 to 2031 Housing Element narrowed its focus on the location of new housing development onto the downtown and immediate vicinities as the most accessible and most location-efficient areas for relatively short-term development of additional housing.

The analysis points to the conclusion that the number of units possible in the downtown area, the location of sites, and the affordability of units to build can accommodate lower, moderate, and above moderate income RHNA allocations and result in a favorable assessment of fair housing in McFarland.

This report reaffirms the importance for McFarland to remain compliant with the Housing Element. Potential benefits are far-reaching for the City as follows:
• The updated housing element would open doors for grant applications through California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). • The preparation of an update to the McFarland General Plan, which comprehensively covered 14 elements, and the associated Environmental Impact Review (EIR) have paved the way for timely update of this 6th Cycle Housing Element. Together with the adopted 2040 McFarland General Plan, the City has updated vital planning documents to guide many facets of its growth and development

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
CEQA Guidelines § 15152 and § 21083.3 of the Public Resources Code allow a Negative Declaration to be adopted when an EIR has previously been prepared for a program, policy, plan or ordinance with which the later project is consistent. The policies and programs of the

Page 50 of 386 ends

Housing Element (the later project) and its CEQA documentation derive from the adopted McFarland General Plan and its Final Program EIR.

Following OPR’s (Governor’s Office of Planning and Research) Technical Advice, the City prepared an Initial Study & Negative Declaration, which tiers upon the Program EIR of the adopted 2040 McFarland General Plan. The policies and programs of the 6th Cycle 2023 to 2031 Housing Element are consistent with the General Plan programs and actions and the Housing Element contains no new proposals which would result in any significant effects that were not examined in the General Plan EIR.

FINDINGS
Fiscal Benefits
• With an adopted and accepted Housing Element, the City stands to gain tremendously with its enhanced ability to apply for various grant funds and remain compliant with State regulations on housing and land use planning. These can result in millions of dollars of investment in the City to address economic, housing, social and public facility needs.
• The policy documents are guides for policy implementation in the future, which may include updates to the zoning regulations and preparation of specific plans, which would, in turn, facilitate responsible development to help protect, enhance, and build up the City of McFarland. Potential upgrades to City infrastructure to serve future housing projects and additional property tax revenues from future housing development could have positive fiscal impacts on the City’s general fund revenues.

Benefits
• Can help advance the Council’s housing production goals including the building of 244 RHNA allocated housing units over the next 8 years. By maintaining a compliant and State-certified Housing Element, the City will remain eligible and competitive for State grant funding opportunities that can ultimately help in implementing the housing strategy enshrined in the new Housing Element.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

RECOMMENDATION:

The staff recommends the City Council the approve and adopt of the 6th Cycle 2023-2031 McFarland Housing Element to replace the 2015-2023 Housing Element.

1 1.0 Introduction
The California legislature identifies the attainment of an acceptable home and suitable living environment for every citizen as California's main goal for housing. Recognizing the key role local government planning plays in achieving this goal, the State mandates that all cities and counties prepare and adopt a housing element as part of their comprehensive General Plans. In the housing element, State law requires local governments to adequately plan to meet the existing and projected housing needs of all economic segments of the population. Unlike the other mandatory elements, the housing element is subject to detailed statutory requirements regarding its content and must be updated every, five or eight years, according to a schedule set by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The housing element is also subject to mandatory review and certification by HCD. The City of McFarland is on an 8-year review cycle.

This 2023 update of McFarland’s Housing Element includes policies and programs to address the City’s housing needs through 2031. It serves as the short-term version of the long-term vision encapsulated in the adopted 2040 McFarland General Plan which addresses comprehensive housing needs for residents of all income levels within the City through 2040 and serves as one of the bastions for allocation of land use in the future. This 2023 update provides a comprehensive analysis of McFarland's demographic, economic, and housing characteristics as required by State law. The Element also contains an evaluation of the City's progress in implementing the 2015 Housing Element. Based on the City's housing needs, available resources, constraints and opportunities for housing production and preservation, and its past performance, the 2023 update of the Housing Element establishes a strategy of goals, measurable objectives, and related policies and programs to address present and future housing needs of the City.

1.1 Community Context
The City of McFarland sits in the northern section of Kern County within California’s Central Valley. The City straddles Highway 99, approximately 25 miles north of Bakersfield and approximately seven miles south of Delano. McFarland’s boundaries encompass approximately three-square miles of land consisting of mostly residential, institutional, and agricultural uses. McFarland’s Sphere of Influence and the surrounding area have primarily agricultural uses.

McFarland’s population as of 2017 was 13,930. The distribution depicts a high concentration of younger individuals with more minors than young adults and more of the latter than middle-aged adults. The median age in McFarland was 26 years old. McFarland had higher percentages of young children and teenagers and lower percentages of older working adults and seniors than Kern County and California.

McFarland’s racial composition was predominantly white alone. It was also 96% Hispanic or Latino.

Most of McFarland’s residents therefore identified as white in terms of race and Hispanic or Latino in terms of ethnicity, according to US Census categorization.

McFarland’s median household earned $35,069 in 2017, which was 69% of Kern County’s median household income and 52% of California’s median household income. Because McFarland’s median household income fell below 80% of the area median income, it qualifies as a Disadvantaged Community. Notably, McFarland’s median family income is lower than its median household income.

Typically, family income was higher than household income in Kern County and California. McFarland’s percentage of residents earning less than the poverty level was over 1.5 times as large as Kern County’s and more than double California’s. Many of the residents below the poverty level were children. Over 50% of children under the age of 5 were below the poverty level. Almost 50% of children aged 5 to 17

Page 65 of 386 ends

2 were below the poverty level. The percentage below the poverty level decreases rapidly with age.

Unemployment in McFarland was higher than in Kern County and California. McFarland’s 2017 unemployment rate was 14.2% compared to Kern County’s rate of 10.7% and California’s rate of 7.0%.

McFarland’s median home value was $149,200 in 2017. This was more than $40,000 lower than the median home value in Kern County for the same year. Census numbers from 2010 to 2017 show that home values in McFarland and Kern County decreased from 2010 to 2013, then increased after 2013 and have continued increasing. During this period, the median rent of all rental units in the City rose from $675 in 2010 to $876 in 2017. Overpayment of rent is a significant problem throughout California due to high housing costs. According to HUD, households spending more than 30% of their incomes on housing are considered cost burdened. 48% of all households in McFarland are cost burdened and are overpaying for housing. This indicates the need for affordable housing in McFarland.

Most housing units in the City were single-family detached units as of 2017, making up about 86% of all housing units. The next largest unit type category of multi-family of two to four units consisted of 7% of all housing units. Mobile homes made up 2% of all housing units. Approximately 39% of McFarland’s existing housing units were built before 1980. There has been consistent new construction of homes from 1970 to the present. According to the land use inventory conducted in October 2019, about 73% of the housing stock in McFarland was in good condition, and about 24% was in fair condition. Only 2% of the housing stock was in poor condition.

1.2 Public Participation

1.2.1 Consolidated Outreach Activities
During the General Plan process, cities and counties in California must provide opportunities to involve residents in the community planning process to ensure that policies reflect the aspirations of the community. This housing element is a product of broad community participation by residents and stakeholders of McFarland, including City Staff, the School District, and City Council jointly with the preparation of the General Plan. Input from all segments of the community was to help assure that appropriate housing strategies were more efficiently and effectively evaluated, developed, and implemented. During preparation of the update to the Housing Element, citizen and stakeholder participation was actively sought in the following ways:
• Four community workshops (10/24/2019, 11/24/2019, 2/20/2020, and 3/11/2020), and a hearing held jointly with Council Meeting (8/26/2021) to gather input on existing housing needs, housing conditions, opportunities and constraints, and other housing issues and concerns.
• Two additional public hearings were held for the draft 6th Cycle Housing Element, one at Planning Commission Meeting (11/29/2022) and another at City Council Meeting (12/8/2022) for discussion, recommendations, and approval of the Housing Element. • Public notices of the community workshops were posted on the City's website, in the local newspaper, and at City Hall.
• Notices were in both English and Spanish; they were also mailed out in addition to postings; and
• The following other activities took place:
o The Draft Housing Element was reviewed by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). Comments provided by HCD are addressed in this version of the document.

Page 66 of 386 ends

3 o A public hearing is anticipated jointly with Council Meeting to discuss the Housing Element following revisions due to comments on this draft from HCD o Final submission of the revised Housing Element to HCD.

Outreach to Special Needs Populations - All public meeting notices were posted for all residents. All public meeting notices asked for those in need of special accommodations to contact the City for assistance. Surveys related to the meetings and the housing element were distributed via email to individuals and organizations that support special needs populations. Respondents to the surveys included those from special needs populations.

1.2.2 Special 6th Cycle Outreach Findings
Kick-Off Workshop & Comments
The special outreach effort for the 6th Cycle Housing Element culminated in two public meetings on 11- 29-2022 and 12-8-2022. A broad cross-section of residents in terms of ethnicity, income level, and occupation attended the meetings for which there were Spanish translations and versions of materials.

From previous meetings, participants identified several strengths of McFarland. In terms of housing. respondents liked the family-friendly neighborhoods but noted limitations on affordable housing opportunities. They therefore expressed the aspirations for greater variety and affordability in the housing stock.

Participants expressed an overwhelming level of preference for the single-family detached type of housing development. Mixed-use residential came in a distant second followed by single-family attached units. These preferences reflected an intrinsic aspiration for both affordability and large units to accommodate relatively large families and households.

When asked about preferences for types of affordable housing, participants expressed preferencesfor three types. At the top of the list was apartments, followed closely by mobile homes. Accessory dwelling units came in at a close third place.

When asked specifically about preferences for special needs housing, participants expressed preference for all types but at varying degrees as follows:
• Topping the list and more than all others combined was low-income housing. • Following in a distant second place was seasonal farmworker housing. • Then came three other types with equal levels of preference, which included housing for seniors, workforce, and persons with disability.
• Participants did not give any weight to homeless shelters.

The outreach meetings for the 6th Cycle Plan sought to find out whether priorities for housing have remained the same or have changed. Feedback from participants largely confirmed the issues that were most important for members of the community and the priorities, preferences, and aspirations of residents.

On issues with housing, The tree top items in order of importance were infrastructure maintenance, followed closely by building maintenance. Yard maintenance came in at a distant third place.

As for priorities for general housing types, single family units remained in first place, followed by apartments. These confirm the aspirations for units that are large enough for families but remain affordable.

Page 67 of 386 ends

4 Specifically on affordable housing types, multi-family housing, residential-commercial mixed-use housing, and accessory dwelling units received strong, close preferences.

Respondents continued to recognize and express the importance of all forms of special needs housing.

These include farmworker and senior housing, single-parent housing, and units to suit those with disabilities.

Finally, respondents strongly favored development of future new housing in the neighborhoods designated from the General Plan development process as future growth areas. With little difference in the numbers of respondents, the priority areas for additional housing include the following:
a. Revitalized Downtown with infill, redevelopment to increase density, and mixed-use. b. Westside Expansion Area with development of a mixture of multi-family and single-family housing.
c. Whisler Road Expansion Area (to the south) with a mixture of mixed-use and mixed-density housing.

Draft Housing Element Workshops & Comments
The special outreach effort for the 6th Cycle Housing Element continued with a workshop at a Planning Commission Meeting (11/29/2022) and a hearing at City Council Meeting (12/8/2022) to receive input on the draft document, which was distributed widely for a 30-day public review to a broad cross-section of stakeholders including residents, workers, City officials, affordable housing developers, and County officials. Comments from attendees related to questions on State requirements on preparing the housing element but not on the contents of the draft document.

Subsequently, a hearing took place during the City Council Meeting where the draft was approved for submission to HCD. Speakers re-emphasized the continuing need for affordable housing but did not question policies or programs in the draft housing element.

1.2.3 Inclusion of Outreach Findings in Housing Element Discussions and findings from all public outreach efforts served as the basis for space allocation for types of housing in the new Housing Element. Findings indicate that housing for large families is a concern. Also, the affordability of housing is of prime importance to be realized via single-family and multi-family units, mixed-use, and accessory dwelling units. Residents of McFarland also support infill development that is affordable by design in the downtown core of the City. This update of the Housing Element captures these community aspirations for housing.

1.3 Consistency with Other Elements of the General Plan State law requires that all portions of the General Plan be internally consistent. The City of McFarland’s adopted new 2040 General Plan consists of fourteen elements. These include the original mandated elements on land use, circulation, housing, conservation, open space, noise, and safety. The Plan also includes Environmental Justice and Air Quality elements as mandated by Senate Bill 100 for disadvantaged communities. For further depth, the General Plan has five optional elements including economic development, public services and facilities, community design, health, and sustainable agriculture. This Housing Element builds upon the other elements and is consistent with the policies in the General Plan. For example, the Housing Element incorporates residential development capacities established in the land Use Element and discussion of infrastructure and public services based upon information from the land Use and Public Facilities Elements. As the Housing Element is updated through time, it should maintain internal consistency with the General Plan.

Page 68 of 386 ends

5 As the housing element is implemented and the municipal code is amended to conform with the policies and programs of the housing element, these changes should reflect in the continual updates to the policies in the General Plan. Where site modifications require updates to the land use map, these changes should also reflect in amendments to the General Plan.

Senate Bill 1087 of 2005 requires cities to provide a copy of their Housing Elements to local water and sewer providers, and also requires that these agencies provide priority hookups for developments with lower-income housing. The City of McFarland is its own water and sewer provider; there is no separate water or sewer district. Staff members from the City Public Works Department were consulted during the preparation of the Housing Element, in compliance with this requirement. Upon adoption, a copy of the Housing Element is to be disseminated to key water and sewer service staff.

The existing housing element spans a period from 2015 to 2023. HCD requires updates to the Safety and Conservation Elements (pursuant to GC Section 65302(g)), and an Environmental Justice Element (pursuant to GC Section 56430) of the General Plan on or before the update of this 2023 Housing Element. These elements have been appropriately updated during the development of the new 2040 McFarland General Plan.

1.4 Organization of the Element
The Housing Element is organized into six chapters. This first chapter is introductory, touching on the statutory requirements of a Housing Element and background to the City. Chapter 2 provides assessment of housing needs in terms of subject matters outlined by State law. It discusses characteristics of the population, employment, household, and housing stock; special housing needs; assisted housing at-risk of conversion; and future growth according to the Kern Council of Governments. Chapter 3 describes the resources available in McFarland to achieve the City's allocation of regional housing needs, including land resources, financial and administrative resources, and energy conservation opportunities. Chapter 4 provides a discussion of both governmental and nongovernmental constraints. Chapter 5 discusses opportunities for conserving energy in residential development. Finally, Chapter 6 contains goals, measurable objectives, policies, and programs for housing in McFarland based on community input and background research. Appendices include additional details as follows: Appendix A provides a review of the 2015 Housing Element; Appendix B has detailed analysis of sites suitable for residential development. Appendix C covers the all new detailed discussion on Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing; and Appendix D has a schedule of fees.

6 2.0 Housing Needs Assessment
State law requires local governments to adequately plan to meet their existing and projected housing needs, including their share of the regional housing needs. This chapter provides an assessment of housing needs based on analyses of general characteristics and trends in the population, employment, households, and housing stock. The chapter looks at characteristics of disadvantaged groups with special housing needs and whether any existing assisted housing units are at-risk of conversion to market rate housing. Finally, the chapter examines the City's projected housing needs based on the Kern Council of Governments’ Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).

This Housing Needs Assessment relies on the most recent data from the US Census of Population and Housing, US Economic Census, California Department of Finance, California Employment Development Department (EDD), Kern Council of Governments (Kern COG), and other relevant sources. The discussion includes implications for the City's housing policies and programs.

2.1. Population Characteristics

2.1.1 Population Growth Trends
Population growth is a primary determinant of housing need. The City of McFarland has experienced a steady population growth since 2000. Table 2-1 shows that between 2000 and 2019, the City's population increased by 54 percent to 14,823 people, which represented 1.7 percent of the total County population. McFarland’s growth equates to an annual increase of 3 percent. By comparison, Kern County's total 2019 population of 887,641 represents an annual growth of 2 percent over the same period. Although a relatively small city, McFarland has been growing approximately one and a half times as fast as the County.

2.1.2 Age
Age characteristics of the population influence housing needs as different age groups have different housing needs based on lifestyles, family types, income levels, and housing preferences. Table 2 -2 compares the age distributions of the population in the City and the County in 2019. The table depicts a more youthful population in McFarland than Kern County while the County has a higher share of the senior population. For instance, in 2019, 48 percent of City residents were under the age of 25 compared to 39 percent in the County. Consistent with this distribution the median age of 26.2 years in the City contrasts with 31.6 years in the County in 2019.

2.1.3 Race and Ethnicity
Table 2-3 reveals that the City of McFarland depicts lower racial diversity than Kern County. While nine out of ten (90%) of the City’s population is white, three quarters of the County population (74%) is white. Consequently, there are clear differences in the composition of other races between the City and the County. Where the difference is most noticeable is in Hispanic origin. While 53 percent of County residents claimed Hispanic origin in 2019, nearly all of City residents or 95 percent claimed Hispanic origin.

8 2.1.4 Conclusion
Population data indicates steady growth which would suggest the need for a steady supply of housing.

The youthful population could indicate either the need for housing to suit large families with youthful dependents or housing for households of young adults. A subsequent section of this chapter on household characteristics further explores these potential needs.

2.2 Employment Trends

2.2.1 Current Employment
Different types of employment opportunities determine household incomes which in turn determine the types and sizes of housing that households could afford. According to the American Community Survey, both McFarland and Kern County depicted similar levels of labor force with approximately three out of five residents in the labor force in 2019. Approximately 10 percent of those in the labor force were unemployed. The latter is higher than both the state and national trends, which are around 6 percent unemployed. The next subsection and the section on household characteristics further explore the distribution of incomes by employment type and households respectively and implications for housing affordability.

Source: U.S Census Bureau, 2019 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, Table S2301 Table 2-5 shows the distribution of employment by occupation and median income. In 2019, the largest employment sector for McFarland residents was agriculture with two out of every five employed residents. With a median income of just over $17,000, agriculture provided nearly $5,000 more in annual salary than the lowest-paying sector (Food Preparation and Serving), but it provided $70,000 lower annual salary than the highest-paying sector (Management). Close examination of the distribution suggests that working residents of McFarland fall predominantly into occupations that pay low to mid-level salaries that are below $43,000 a year. Housing affordability would depend on the number of income earners in households and families.

2.2.2 Projected Job Growth
The number and type of new future jobs affect future housing affordability. Table 2-6 shows projected job growth by occupation for the Bakersfield Metropolitan Statistical Area (Bakersfield MSA) over the decade from 2018 to 2028. Total employment is projected to grow by 10 percent during this period for an increase of 38,000 new jobs. This would bring the employment of Bakersfield MSA to approximately 432,700 by 2028 (California Employment Development Department, 2022). Close examination reveals that economic sectors with the most growth are largely made up of typically well-paying occupations such as Private Educational Services and Health Care, Transportation, Construction, and Professional and Business Services. Table 2-6 shows, however, that the fastest growing sector is predicted to be Private Household Workers, which is a typically lower paying occupation. This would not bode well in

Page 73 of 386 ends

10 terms of housing affordability for McFarland residents who are concentrated in this low-paying job sector, as without multiple income-earning persons in households, difficulties with housing affordability would remain. However, there is opportunity to move into higher paying sectors as jobs in these sectors continue to increase.

2.2.3 Jobs-Housing Balance
A regional balance of jobs to housing is necessary for housing demand to match with supply. When the number of jobs significantly exceeds the housing supply, the rental and for-sale housing markets may become saturated, requiring households to pay much larger shares of their incomes for housing than would otherwise be necessary. A tight housing market can also result in overcrowding as households double up in available units or in longer commute times as workers seek more affordable housing outside the region. According to the 2013-2023 regional growth forecasts of the Kern Council of Governments (Kern COG), the relationship between jobs and housing is a very significant concern. The problem of jobs to housing imbalance has intensified in recent years and workers have increasingly crowded into the limited available housing in Kern County.

Page 74 of 386 ends

11 Conventional wisdom dictates that reasonable jobs to housing ratios should be within the range of 1.0 to 1.5 jobs to one housing unit. A ratio above 1.5 could indicate that there may be an insufficient supply of housing to meet the needs of the local workforce. A ratio below 1.0 could denote an insufficient supply of jobs to support the local population. Table 2-7 shows that the City of McFarland had jobs to housing ratio of approximately 1.84 compared to the County ratio of 0.99. There are nearly twice as many jobs as there are housing units; this indicates an imbalance of jobs to houses, which can cause difficulties in housing affordability and overcrowding in McFarland.

In 2019, McFarland had 6,204 jobs for 4,983 employed workers within the City. This shows an insufficiency of the labor force for the number of jobs. It also means that large numbers of the labor force are likely to commute from outlying areas for work. US Census data revealed that McFarland had very little “In-Area Employment Efficiency” for all Jobs in 2019. Only 11 percent of the jobs within the City are held by residents while 89 percent are held by those who live outside the City. Similarly, 83 percent of employed residents worked outside the City. This indicates that workers from other parts of the County continue to move to McFarland for its relative affordability, but this external demand can cause increase in the cost of housing in the City. The 2040 General Plan recommends that the City should work to maintain housing affordability and take steps to create new jobs that suit the skills of residents to reduce commute times and improve the quality of life for residents.

2.2.4 Conclusion
The employment characteristics and trends indicate a strong need for moderate-income and lowerincome housing to support the housing needs of residents employed by the farming and services sectors. The demand for affordable homes and apartments is likely to remain very high as the labor force continues to grow faster than the housing supply. It is therefore important to provide adequate affordable housing, particularly for farm and service workers. The City should continue to incentivize housing growth in order to reduce the imbalance between jobs and housing. As higher paying sectors continue to grow, the City should also monitor housing prices as new units are built to ensure that a sufficient supply of low income housing units remains for farm and service workers.

2.3 Household Characteristics

2.3.1 Growth in Households
Household characteristics are important indicators of the type and size of housing needed in a city. The US Census Bureau defines a "household" as all persons occupying a housing unit, which may include single persons living alone, families related through marriage or blood, or unrelated persons who share a single unit. Under this definition, the number of households in a community has the most direct effect on the quantity of housing units needed irrespective of the sizes of or amenities within the units. Table 2-8 shows trends in the growth of households in McFarland from 2000 to 2019. The City experienced

Page 75 of 386 ends

12 intermittent periods of growth spurts ranging from annual rates of just over 1 percent to highs of 7 percent. In 2019, there were 3,367 households in McFarland reflecting the latest period of growth spurt and an average annual rate of 1.8 percent over nearly two decades. This result is consistent with the previous finding that many people in the region choose to live in McFarland for the relative affordability of its housing even if they do not have employment within the City.

2.3.2 Household Composition and Size
Table 2-9 provides a snapshot of family orientation among households in McFarland compared to Kern County. Households in the City are more family-oriented than in the County. Family households comprised approximately 88 percent of all households in the City while the County had 74 percent of family households. Similarly, family composition is much more youthful in the City with 62 percent of all households having minor children under 18 years old compared to just 38 percent of all households in the County. Consistent with these data therefore, the City has larger average household and family sizes than the County. This suggests that housing in the City should cater mostly to relatively larger family households.

13 Further scrutiny of the distribution of household sizes reveals in Table 2-10 that almost two thirds of all households in McFarland had four or more persons in 2019. On the contrary, nearly two thirds of all households in the County had three or fewer persons per household. These data suggest that McFarland has a higher need for large housing units than some of the other communities in Kern County.

2.3.3 Household Income
Household income is a primary factor in housing affordability. Table 2-11 shows the breakdown of the City’s households by income in 2019. It reveals a concentration of households in the low to lower middle-income categories with 70 percent of households earning less than $50,000. This reinforces the need for affordable housing units in the City.

14 Comparative median income data in Table 2-12 for 2019 further confirms the need for more affordable housing in McFarland than some other communities in the region. At $35,000, McFarland had the lowest median income among cities in Kern County in 2019, representing nearly two thirds of the County median income. Since McFarland depicts less than 80 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI) it falls under the classification of a “disadvantaged community” under the criteria of the State of California. This provides further justification for relatively more affordable housing to adequately accommodate the lower incomes of the City’s residents.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2019 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, Table DP03 State law established household income categories for purposes of housing programs based on area median income (AMI). State law also requires quantification and analysis of housing needs for variousincome groups. The criteria for the categories are as follows:
• Extremely low households earn less than 30 percent of AMI • Very low-income households earn 31 percent to 50 percent of AMI • Low-income households earn 51 percent to 80 percent of AMI • Moderate income households earn 81 percent to 120 percent of AMI • Above moderate-income households earn 121 percent of AMI and above.

Table 2-13 reveals that households in McFarland fall predominantly in the lower income categories with 60 percent in those “low” categories compared to 40 percent in the moderate-income categories.

The table reflects the equivalent re-allocation (hypothetical) of McFarland’s share of total 2015 to 2023 RHNA units by the distribution of income groups in 2019. The actual allocation to McFarland was fairly comparable to the hypothetical.

2.3.4 Conclusion
McFarland has experienced steady growth in households. This trend is anticipated to continue under the 2040 General Plan. To adequately accommodate residents, it is essential to provide adequately sized and reasonably priced housing for all types of households, but especially for large-family households. The demand for affordable homes including apartments is likely to remain high given the distribution of households by income groups.

2.4 Characteristics of the Housing Stock

2.4.1 Housing Types and Growth
The City of McFarland had 3,367 housing units in 2019. Table 2-14 reveals that the housing stock was predominantly single-family detached, which made up a little over 80 percent of the total housing stock. The next highest category of housing units, with 14 percent of the total stock, is comprised of multi-family units. Compared to the County as a whole, McFarland had a higher percentage of singlefamily detached units, a lower percentage of multi-family units, and a miniscule share of mobile homes.

Since City residents depict higher shares of large family households than the County, it is likely mobile homes would tend to be too small to suit the housing needs of many McFarland residents although mobile homes provide an avenue for affordable units.

16 Table 2-15 shows growth in the housing stock over nearly a century. The City began to experience relatively high growth in its housing stock in the 1940s and sustained that growth over six consecutive decades till 2010 when home building slowed. During its highest boom period between 2000 and 2010, the City produced an average of 76 housing units per year although annual average over nearly a century is approximately half of that rate at nearly 40 units per year. Since 2010, home building has slowed. The average annual increase dropped to 27 units per year after 2010, which is the second lowest annual average and a dramatic drop from the boom of the previous decade.

2.4.2 Housing Age and Conditions
Housing age may be an important indicator of housing condition. Housing units built prior to 1978, before stringent limits on the amount of lead in paint were imposed, may have exterior or interior building components coated with lead-based paint. It is most likely that housing units of that era would also have lead-based paint in deteriorating conditions that can be hazardous and would require rehabilitation. Figure 2-1 shows the age distribution of the housing stock. In combination with Table 2- 15, the data indicates that nearly half of the housing stock was constructed in the pre-1978 era or are more than 40 years old. Nearly additional 30 percent of the housing stock is over 20 years old. These findings suggest that there may be a strong need for maintenance and rehabilitation, including remediation of lead-based paint, for a large portion of the City's housing stock. The lead-based Paint Hazard Control (LHC) and the Lead Hazard Reduction (LHRD) grant programs provide opportunities to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in eligible privately-owned housing for renters or owneroccupants.

In October 2019, graduate students from the City and Regional Planning Department of the California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, conducted a citywide walking survey to identify the general structural conditions of homes in McFarland. Table 2-16 summarizes the results of this survey and others before it. The surveys categorized the conditions of the housing units as follows:

Page 80 of 386 ends

17 • Good – dwelling units in good condition required no repairs or would only need minor maintenance (such as painting or patching of roof, etc.). • Fair – dwelling units in fair condition required rehabilitation in the form of one or more structural repairs.
• Poor – dwelling units in poor condition required the replacement of all exterior elements and were generally considered not feasible for repairs, but rather for reconstruction.

The 2019 housing survey revealed that most of the housing stock (73 percent) was in good condition.

A very small proportion (2 percent) was considered dilapidated and in need of replacement. The general trend depicts an increase in overall quality of housing. This increase in quality could be partially due to newly constructed housing and partially due to rehabilitation grant programs like the Owner Occupied Rehabilitation Programs that allow homeowners to receive up to a $50,000 loan from the City to repair their residences.

2.4.3 Housing Tenure
Housing tenure, or the split between owner-occupied and renter-occupied housing units, is an important indicator of the housing market. Communities need an adequate supply of units for both rental and purchase in order to accommodate a range of households with varying incomes, family sizes and composition, needs, and lifestyles. Table 2-17 shows that the share of owner-occupied housing units in McFarland has hovered consistently near 55 percent of the total housing stock since 2000. The share of renter-occupied units remained close to 40 percent over the last two decades with a small increase in 2015. Vacancy rates remained very low (from 2 to 4 percent) throughout the period reflecting the tight housing market in the region.

2.4.4 Vacancy
The housing vacancy rate depicts the relationship between housing supply and demand. For example, if the demand for housing is greater than the available supply, then the vacancy rate would be very low, and the price of housing would most likely increase. A low overall vacancy rate that indicates high demand and short supply of housing may result in overcrowding and ultimately unsafe, unsanitary, or otherwise unsuitable accommodations. When low vacancy results in high prices of homes and rentals, the effect is most severe on lower income households, people on fixed incomes, families with children, and other special-need groups. Housing discrimination could occur when the rental vacancy rate is low.

The vacancy rate also indicates whether a community has an adequate housing supply to provide choice and mobility. The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) indicates that a

Page 82 of 386 ends

19 vacancy rate of 5 percent is enough to provide choice and mobility. Table 2-17 shows that the highest vacancy rate in McFarland over the previous two decades was 4 percent in 2010 in the aftermath of the housing market crash of the mid-2000s. Before and after the crash, the vacancy rate was close to 2 percent. The data reveal that the City has been typically below the recommended vacancy rate of 5 percent, which would indicate that McFarland residents have limited housing choice and mobility and could be susceptible to the adverse conditions associated with low vacancy rates.

2.4.5 Housing Cost
A major barrier to housing availability is the cost of housing. That is why State Law expressly requires cities to plan for a variety of housing opportunities at various prices that are suitable and affordable to various income groups in the community. Figure 2-2 shows that the median home value in McFarland more than doubled from $76,000 in 2000 to $163,800 in 2010. Although the median home value retreated to $120,200 in 2015, median home prices in 2019 show an upward trend from decade to decade.

Noticeably, the median household income has only inched up slightly since 2000, with a peak in 2010 at $35,656. Over almost two decades, home values increased at an average annual rate of 6 percent compared to 2 percent for household incomes. This implies increasing pressure of housing expenditure on households over time.

While home prices over the period increased overall, historically the median sale price in McFarland has been substantially lower than the median sales prices for the neighboring areas. Table 2-18 compares home values in McFarland with neighboring communities, the County and the State from 2000 to 2019. The data confirms that McFarland traditionally had lower housing cost than its neighbors.

The median rent in McFarland was $903 per month for all types of rental housing in 2019. Table 2-19 shows the distribution of rental units by contract rent payments in 2019. The median rent is higher than 30 percent of the median income ($884), meaning renting is unaffordable for most residents. This is especially true for approximately half of all households in McFarland who earn below the median income and would be even more hard pressed to afford the median rent in the City. Comparably, 30 percent of median income in the County of Kern was $1,334 per month, but rents are much higher in the region outside McFarland.

2.4.6 Affordability and Overpayment
Housing is typically the largest single item of recurrent expenditure for California families. According to HCD criteria, housing is affordable when a household spends less than 30 percent of its gross income on rental or ownership. When a household spends 30 percent or more of its gross income on housing, it is classified as cost-burdened or “overpaying”.

Table 2-20 shows the distributions of households by income range, expenditure, and tenure. The data reveals that one-fifth of all owners in McFarland overpaid for housing while nearly a third of renters overpaid in 2019. In absolute numbers, nearly as many renters as owners were cost burdened. It is noteworthy that low-income households make up the majority of all renters in McFarland.

2.4.7 Overcrowding
Limited household incomes, high housing prices, and inadequate sizes of units within a community trigger overcrowding. The US Census Bureau considers a housing unit to be overcrowded when there is more than one person per room, excluding bathrooms and kitchens. Severe overcrowding occurs when a unit has more than 1.5 occupants per room. Overcrowding can result when there are not enough adequately sized housing units within a community, or when high housing costs relative to income force too many individuals or families to share housing. Overcrowding can also accelerate deterioration of the housing stock.

Table 2-21 shows that overcrowding was more prevalent in McFarland than in Kern County as a whole.

In 2019, 9 percent of owner households in the City lived under overcrowded conditions compared to 3 percent of County residents. Similarly, levels of overcrowding among renters were 9 percent in the City and 6 percent in the County. By tenure, the City had similar rates of overcrowding for renters and owners while renter units were slightly more crowded than owner units in the County. Overcrowding has significantly decreased from its high in 2015, particularly for renters, when 24 percent of households lived in overcrowded conditions. This suggests that the amount of affordable housing has increased since 2015, however the City should continue to monitor affordable housing to maintain low rates of overcrowding.

2.4.8 Conclusion
The City's housing stock is largely in good condition; however, two-thirds of the housing stock is more than 30 years old, which might require more regular maintenance and repair. Since 2000, housing prices in the City have increased at a faster pace than household incomes. As a result, approximately a quarter of all households in the City spent approximately a third or more of their incomes on housing with the cost burden more common among renters than owners. The numbers of households that can comfortably afford the median priced home in the City and the numbers that can afford the median priced apartment have declined since 2015. All these findings point to the need for more affordable housing in the future. Programs to assist moderate-income first-time buyers and lower-income renters could help narrow the affordability gap. Chapter 3 includes a list of potential funding sources and programs.

2.5 Special Housing Needs
Special circumstances make it difficult for certain groups to find decent, affordable housing. The circumstances may relate to type of employment and income, family characteristics, disability, or other limiting conditions. Those who fall into these circumstances would have “special need” for housing.

Those with such specific demographic characteristics as large families with low incomes, for instance, might need housing units with three or more bedrooms that they can afford. Those in such special occupational groups as seasonal farm workers might need single-room occupancy units. Analysis of special needs housing can help a municipality identify groups with the most serious housing needs in order to develop and prioritize programs to respond to those needs. State law specifically requires analysis of the special housing needs of the elderly, large families, female-headed households, persons with disabilities, farmworkers, homeless persons and families, and extremely low-income households.

Chapters 3 and 4 further discuss housing resources and constraints to housing provision.

23 2.5.1 Elderly
Fixed incomes, high health care costs, and physical disabilities are three typical circumstances that categorize some senior households for special housing need. Table 2-22 shows the trend in seniorheaded households in McFarland from 2000 to 2019. Senior households have kept pace with other households growing from fewer than 300 in 2000 to 444 in 2019 thereby maintaining a similar, but slightly increasing share from 8 percent of all households in 2000 to 14 percent in 2019. The share of senior-headed households in McFarland was lower than Kern County, which had 58,117 senior-headed households, (or 21% of all households) in 2019.

Table 2-23 shows the distribution of householders by tenure in McFarland in 2019. At 4 percent,seniorheaded households make up one of the smallest shares among renters; and with 21 percent, seniorheaded households make up the single largest share among home owners. Because senior citizens are on fixed incomes, they particularly tend to need affordable housing, especially if homes become too costly to maintain or if rents increase. Some senior citizens who do not rent or own housing could share housing with other family members. For instance, some elderly parents could live with their adult children, or in other shared arrangements which could result in overcrowding.

Such needs may include transportation, social service referrals, financial assistance, employment, long-term care for the homebound, and day care.

Page 87 of 386 ends

24 It behooves long-range planning to recognize elderly persons' needs and design programs to address them. Various organizations and programs that can assist seniors with their housing needs in McFarland include supportive services, rental subsidies, senior housing, and housing rehabilitation assistance. The Kern County Aging and Adult Services offers many programs for senior residents including in-home care and medical administrative support. The nutrition program serves lunch at community centers in nearby cities including Delano and Wasco every day and delivers meals to homebound seniors who are unable to walk or drive to a center. The County provides dial-a-ride services in McFarland.

To address elderly housing needs, the City could require developers to design housing units that are accessible to all persons, regardless of physical ability. Units should also be affordable for seniors who are on fixed incomes.

2.5.2 Large Households
The US Census Bureau defines large households as those containing five or more persons. These households may have special housing needs because there is often a limited supply of adequately sized, affordable housing units in communities. Large units generally cost more than smaller units pushing them out of the affordability range. To cover expenditure on such necessities as food and health care, it is common for lower-income households that are large to reside in smaller (more affordable) units, which frequently results in overcrowding. It is important, therefore, that there is both adequate supply and affordability of large units for large households in McFarland.

Table 2-24 shows the distribution of occupied housing units by number of rooms and tenure for 2019.

It reveals that 86 percent of rental units and 88 percent of owner units have four to six rooms, which would seem to be predominantly family friendly. However, for large families not to live under overcrowded conditions, there needs to be at least as many rooms as there are persons in the household. In 2019, large units of five or more rooms made up approximately 50 percent of renter units and 90 percent of owner units. The large units were not necessarily affordable as there were nearly two times as many large owner units as renter units. This could explain the slight overcrowding noted in Table 2-21.

Table 2-25 shows the distribution of occupied housing units by number of persons and tenure for 2019.

It provides further insight into the potential for overcrowding. Households with five or more persons occupied just over 40 percent of renter units and nearly 40 percent of owner units. While the share of large renter units was sufficient for the share of large households, the share of large owner units far outweighs the share of large households suggesting affordability issues with owner units for large families.

To address overcrowding and adequately supply large households with suitable housing, the City can offer incentives to facilitate the development of large housing units with four or more bedrooms. A shortage of large units can be alleviated through inclusionary zoning and community partnerships with entities such as Self-Help Enterprises, Habitat for Humanity, and other affordable housing developers that offer opportunities for affordable housing ownership. Funding sources such as the first-time homebuyer program and Community Development Block Grant program can help move renters to home ownership. Chapter 3 discusses resources for general financial assistance which may be available to large households.

2.5.3 Female Headed Households
Single-parent households, particularly female-headed households, often require special consideration and assistance with affordable housing, accessible day care, health care, and other supportive services.

Because of relatively lower incomes vis-à-vis higher living expenses, female-headed households tend to have limited opportunities for affordable, decent, and safe housing. These households become particularly vulnerable as they try to balance the needs of their children with responsibilities of work.

Table 2-26 shows the distribution of household types in McFarland by tenure in 2019. Among unmarried households, there were nearly three times as many female-headed households as maleheaded households. Table 2-27 reveals that the burden of single parenting fell disproportionately on women with 79 percent of these households looking after one or more persons under age 18 years. A

Page 89 of 386 ends

26 quarter of these unmarried female householders also had care-taking responsibilities for persons aged 60 years and over.

From the perspective of tenure, there were two times as many female-headed households in renter units as in owner units. This has implications for the incomes of female-headed households and the availability of affordable units to suit their needs. In 2019, nearly half of all female-headed households lived below the poverty level.

In addition, the federal Aid for Dependent Children program (AFDC) provides support for the children in single-parent families. Depending on household income, single-parent family households may also qualify for other federal housing assistance programs, such as Section 8 vouchers which subsidize the balance of the rental cost in excess of 30 percent of the renter's gross income. The program enables the prospective tenant to use the subsidy in the private market place in search of rental housing. To further address the housing needs of female-headed households, the City should promote the development of additional multifamily housing.

27 2.5.4 Persons with Disabilities
A disability is a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits major life activities. Persons with disabilities tend to have special housing needs in the form of affordable housing because of low or fixed incomes, higher health costs associated with their disabilities, and special requirements for mobility.

Table 2-28 shows the distribution of the disability population in McFarland among the six groups that the US Census identifies. Census data for 2019 revealed that the incidence of disability in McFarland cuts across gender and race. City-wide, 3 percent of the population had one or more of the six disability types. The two most prevalent forms of disability in 2019 were: (a) ambulatory; and (b) independent living difficulty, both of which occurred disproportionately among seniors.

The living arrangements for persons with disabilities depend on the type and severity of the disability.

Many disabled persons can live at home in an independent environment with or without the help of other family members. To maintain independent living, disabled persons may require assistance, which may include special design features for the physically disabled, income support for those who are unable to work, and in-home care for persons with medical conditions. These services are available through public or private agencies.

Total Civilian Noninstitutionalized Population 13,565 100% Source: U.S Census Bureau, 2019 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, Table S1810 In 1984, Title 24 of the State Uniform Building Code mandated that all multiple-family residential projects containing more than five units and constructed after September 15, 1985 conform to specific disabled, adaptability, and accessibility regulations. In 1988, the Federal government enacted the US Fair Housing Amendment Act with the intent to increase the number of rental units being built that would be accessible to individuals with disabilities. In July 1993, the State of California issued the "California Multifamily Access Requirements" based upon the Act. However, despite these regulatory changes, the actual increase in the number of accessible units available in the rental market has remained small. Even though Federal and State housing laws require certain design features or adaptation of housing design for physical accessibility in multifamily residential buildings, many dwelling units built before March 1991 are not subject to these accessibility requirements. There is a need therefore to adapt houses or apartments for wheelchairs and other special requirements for individuals with physical disabilities. Requiring adaptive design features in new construction, for example, does not assist such individuals as seniors who choose to remain in older housing rather than move to assisted living facilities or other newly constructed housing. A good planning consideration to suit persons with physical disabilities is to locate new housing units in proximity to services and public transportation.

28 Persons with mental disabilities are a critically under-served population with respect to housing. The physical modification of housing is typically not necessary to accommodate mentally disabled persons, but they generally require more services and more monetary support. The mentally disabled tend to have limited opportunities for jobs and incomes making affordable housing important for them. Many mentally disabled persons would prefer to live independently, but because of monetary circumstances, they are compelled to live with other family members or in group homes. This may cause additional stress and problems. In some cases, the need for a resident assistant to help deal with crises or challenging situations may also create special housing demand. This would suggest that there is a need for some apartment or condominium complexes that are reserved exclusively for persons requiring extra assistance in dealing with their daily routines. However, McFarland may be too small for such apartments, which are typically found in larger cities. Because many mentally handicapped persons are unable to drive, access to public transportation for these residents is also important. There are a limited number of day treatment facilities and programs in McFarland, which include drop-in socialization centers to serve persons with mental disabilities. These individuals do not have regional centers as do the persons with physical disabilities and there is no respite care for families who provide round-theclock care for relatives with mental disabilities.

Aiming for Independence, Maturity, Equality, & Success (AIMES) is a non-profit organization that provides supportive care for adults with developmental disabilities living independently as well as homes with 24-hour care for developmentally disabled individuals. AIMES Homes is located in Bakersfield, but the organization provides such services throughout Kern County as money management, homemaking and community integration.

2.5.5 Farmworkers
The definition of “farmworker” is a person who earns primary income through permanent or seasonal agricultural labor. Permanent farm laborers work year-round in the fields, processing plants, or supporting activities. When workload increases during harvest periods, seasonal workers supplement the labor force often through a labor contractor. For some crops, farms may hire migrant workers, that is, those whose travels prevent them from returning to their primary residence every evening.

It has been problematic estimating the size of the agricultural labor force as the US Census and other data sources undercounted or mis-classified farmworkers. For instance, the government agencies that track farm labor are not consistent in the definitions of related terms. Farm labor sometimes includes only field laborers and other times includes workers in plants that process farm produce. Length of employment sometimes includes only permanent workers and other times includes seasonal workers.

Place of work sometimes refers to the location of the business, but other times refers to the field.

In another instance, the Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker Enumeration Profiles Study conducted in 2000 by the Migrant Health Program of the US Department of Health and Human Services used several approaches to count farmworkers at the county level. One approach first estimated the crop acreage and then the labor required for growing and harvesting. Another approach used the unemployment insurance reports of employers like what the Employment Development Department tabulated.

Another estimate used the amount of area devoted to greenhouses to determine nursery and greenhouse workers. The results of this study showed that the Migrant Seasonal Farm Workers for Kern County was approximately 71,823.

The U.S. Census of Agriculture (Ag Census) estimates that 34,501 laborers were hired in 2012 across 1,004 farms and ranches in Kern County. However, according to the Ag Census, the number of farms dropped by 16 percent to 845 in 2017 with only 20,469 hired workers. As a result, the average number

Page 92 of 386 ends

29 of workers per farm dropped by about 10 workers in 5 years. The decrease could be partially attributed to immigration policy changes during this period that affected the amount of available labor. Table 2- 29 shows the top ten agricultural products by rank in Kern County.

Sources: Kern County, Agricultural Production Report, 2019; http://www.kernag.com/caap/crop-reports/crop10_19/crop2019.pdf Table 2-30 shows the distribution of the total employed population by sector in McFarland and Kern County in 2019. The Agriculture Industry was the single largest employer of McFarland residents making up 46 percent of the employed in the City and 16 percent of the employed in the County. This reflects the importance of farm workers in the City. Using the 2017 US Census of Agriculture for the County and applying the share of those employed in Agriculture would yield an upper estimate of 863 farmworkers in McFarland. According to 2020 ACS estimates, the median earning per worker across all economic sectors in McFarland was $24,325 in a year, which was one fourth lower than the similar median earning in Kern County of $32,040. What was most notable was the fact that the agriculture sector was among the bottom five earning sectors in Kern County with a median earning of $21,534, which was about a third lower than the median across all sectors. The economic disadvantage of agricultural workers in McFarland was reflected in its lower median earning of $20,039 per farmworker per year, which was 7 percent lower than the comparatively low earnings in Kern County. With this income per farmworker per year in McFarland, most farmworkers in the City are likely to fall into the lowest income categories.

The scale and type of agricultural production in the County and the sector's importance to both the local and State economies suggest the need for decent and sanitary housing options for farmworkers.

Seasonal and migrant farmworkers tend to save as much of their earnings as possible for repatriation to their countries of origin to support families. This often leads migrant farmworkers to seek the lowestcost alternatives for housing during their stay. This further exacerbates the need for housing that is affordable to farm workers. Given the importance of agriculture and its labor force, the provision of adequate farmworker housing is a critical issue for McFarland as many of these workers are believed to live in poor housing conditions and face the problems of overpayment or overcrowding.

An effective means to address the housing needs of the City's farmworker population is to facilitate development of new rental housing that is affordable to low, very low, and extremely-low-income

Page 93 of 386 ends

30 households. This should include both single and multiple room units. The City approved the Milestone Housing affordable housing project, which included 80 extremely low, very low, and low-income rental housing units. The City also has several programs in place to increase affordable housing. Examples of such programs include density bonuses for subdivisions that include affordable housing components and ongoing pursuit of state and federal funds to assist in the development of affordable housing.

31 2.5.6 Homeless
Homeless persons are individuals who lack regular nighttime residence possibly due to limited or lack of regular income. Some of them need short-term, temporary or emergency shelter probably due to immediate crisis while others have long-term or chronic needs. The homeless represent a broad spectrum of the population including single men and women, couples, families, displaced youth without parents, and seniors. They can include individuals who are victims of economic dislocation, the physically disabled, teen parents with children, veterans, those discharged from hospital or jail, alcohol and drug abusers, survivors of domestic violence, persons with AIDS, immigrants, refugees, and farmworkers.

According to the McFarland Police Department, there were rarely any homeless persons in the City. A 2022 Point in Time Report by the Bakersfield/Kern Regional Homeless Collaborative did not conduct a count in McFarland but counted 36 unsheltered persons in Delano and 14 unsheltered persons in Wasco. In the past, homeless persons have been transient farmworkers who did not yet find a place to live, but they did not remain unsheltered over extended periods of time. Most transient workers were able to afford some form of shelter when they gained employment, but often under overcrowded or otherwise inadequate conditions.

The rare occurrence of homelessness in McFarland does not call for an emergency shelter or transitional housing facility, however, such a facility is permitted by right in areas zoned C-2 for commercial uses. Chapter 4 further discusses this issue under constraints to housing development.

There are social services and year-round shelters for the homeless at locations in Bakersfield and throughout the county. The Kern County Housing Authority has an office location in McFarland to provide public housing assistance. The City also meets and coordinates with other government agencies and community groups to address homelessness.

2.5.7 Extremely Low-Income Households
The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) defines “extremely lowincome” households as those earning up to 30 percent of area median income (AMI). In 2019, Kern County had a median income of $53,350. Households earning up to $16,005 would therefore fall into the classification of extremely low-income households. Table 2-13 reveals that households in McFarland fall predominantly in the lower income categories with 60 percent in those “low” categories compared to 40 percent in the moderate-income categories. Nearly 411 households or 13 percent of total households in McFarland fell into the extremely low-income category. These households (among others) depict a variety of housing situations and needs when they face overpayment, overcrowding, and substandard housing conditions. Other families and individuals receiving public assistance in the form of social security insurance (SSI) or disability insurance tend to fall into the category of extremely low-income households.

The economic base of the City historically relied on the agricultural sector, an area where wages are traditionally low. The City, therefore, worked diligently in the production of a variety of housing types for those in the extremely low income category. Nevertheless, the City needs to continue to work closely with non-profit producers of lower income housing as well as new proposers of large development projects to produce more housing for its residents in the extremely low and other lower income groups. To keep down costs in the expansion of housing for those in the extremely low-income category, cost-effective opportunities include (a) the City could partner with non-profit developers to develop permanent lower income housing on City-owned properties; (b) conversion of downtown properties to residential/commercial mixed-use areas at higher than current densities; (c) promotion

Page 95 of 386 ends

32 and facilitation of accessory dwelling units; and (d) facilitating the development of single and multiple room rental housing, as well as supportive rental housing linked to a range of support services.

Supportive housing can help residents to maintain stable housing and lead productive lives. Services may include childcare, after-school tutoring, and career counseling, among others. The Solinas Village affordable housing development in McFarland offers supportive services to residents.

2.5.8 Persons with Developmental Disabilities
The presence of developmental disability is mild, but nevertheless present among the population of McFarland and its two neighboring cities to the north (Delano) and south Wasco). As of December 2021, the Department of Developmental Services recorded 155 cases in McFarland, 518 cases in Delano, and 273 cases in Wasco, which equated to a rate of approximately ten per thousand population. Among the cases, three out of every five were minors below age 18 while the remainder were adults of 18 years old or above. Table 2-31 has details for the three cities. As far as type of care, persons with developmental disability receive care overwhelmingly (80% or more) from the homes of parents, family, or guardians. Therefore, issues of housing availability and choice relate primarily to care-givers rather than the subjects. Thus, housings need of persons with developmental disabilities are for the most part not a significant, additional housing need. And this is consistent in the region.

Available resources include HUD Section 811 Grants to non-profit developers of supportive housing for persons with disabilities, including group homes, independent living facilities and intermediate care facilitates. The special needs housing resources in the City include accommodations for persons with disabilities for whom there are day programs for the youth and a senior center for the elderly.

33 2.6 Assisted Housing At-Risk of Conversion
This section identifies all residential projects in McFarland that are under an affordability covenant, along with those housing projects that are at-risk of losing their low-income affordability restrictions within the eight-year period from 2023 to 2031. This information is used to establish quantified objectives for units that can be conserved during this planning period. The inventory includes all units assisted under any federal, state, or local program.

2.6.1 Inventory of Potential At-Risk Units
Table 2-32 is an inventory of developments within McFarland which participate in federal, state, or local programs that provide some form of assistance either through financial subsidy or control. The earliest date of likely expiration of any assisted unit is 2048, which is after two future cycles of the housing element. For the next one and a half decades, there are no at-risk units.

34 2.6.2 Risk of Conversion
According to the Kern County Housing Authority and City data, there are no units at risk of converting to market rate during the 2023-2031 time period. However, it is prudent to begin thinking now about making assisted units permanently affordable. This is because comparative construction cost data in the State suggest that the purchase and dedication of deed-restricted units (which were restricted to the average increase in median income in the respective County) to make them permanent assisted units is bound to cost far less than building new replacement units. The following analysis illustrates this assertion. The primary factors used to analyze the cost of preserving low-income housing include:

1. Acquisition costs depend on size, location, and current sale prices. However, if assisted units were deedrestricted to the average increase in median income in the County, then the purchase price of the units would only go up by that percentage, which is likely lower than recent rates of increase in the price of market rate housing.

2. New construction costs depend on size of unit, quality and cost of construction materials, financing costs, as well as off-site and on-site improvement costs. However, most of the assisted units McFarland completed construction by 2015 when construction costs were approximately a third of today’s costs for similar affordable units.

3. Rental assistance depends on the income of the household and Fair Market rents. Estimates of current average rent in McFarland for a unit to serve a family of 4 is approximately $2,300. Based on state income limits, a very-low-income household of four persons could afford to pay $1,601 per month (including a utility allowance) for housing. This would require a monthly rental subsidy of $699, or $8,388 per year for an average unit. Therefore, if affordability covenants were to expire on the assisted units, a total cost of approximately $8,400 per year would be required to provide rental subsidies for each assisted unit.

Replacement through new construction would be very difficult due to the high cost of buildable land. New construction is bound to be approximately three times as high as the original costs of the at-risk units while acquisition cost would be under 25 percent higher than the original costs of the at-risk units. Besides, the rental subsidies could shoot up to $8,400 per year if affordability covenants were to expire on any at-risk units. It is therefore more prudent and far less costly for Kern Housing Authority to acquire the assisted units at the deedrestricted prices and make them permanently affordable.

2.7 Future Growth Needs
In accordance with State law, this section provides a quantification of McFarland's share of the regional housing need as established in the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) prepared by the Kern Council of Governments (Kern COG).

2.7.1 Overview of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation The Regional Housing Needs Allocation process is a key planning tool for local governments to anticipate and prepare for future housing need. RHNA quantifies the anticipated need for housing within each jurisdiction based on regional population forecasts of the California Department of Finance.

Communities within specific regions determine collaboratively how to share the need and address it in updates to the housing elements of general plans.

Kern COG has the responsibility of preparing the RHNA for the incorporated and unincorporated communities within Kern County, which includes the City of McFarland. The most recent RHNA was adopted in July 2022 and covers a period from June 2023 through December 2031. Kern COG applied the following methodology to allocate housing units to each jurisdiction:

Page 98 of 386 ends

35 • Kern COG estimated the future population within each jurisdiction based upon State Department of Finance projections and knowledge of circumstances particular to the County. • Kern COG converted the change in population into housing units necessary to accommodate increases in population. The estimate included a vacancy rate that reflects a "healthy" housing market that would enable movement of households among units and replacement of existing units that may become demolished.
• Kern COG divided the estimate of housing needs into four groups based on income categories labelled as very low, low, moderate, and above moderate income. This step is to target enough quantity of housing for all income groups in the community. • The “very low” category is subdivided in this document to show the “extremely low” (ELI) as a fifth category. HCD recommends that the projected housing need for ELI households be calculated either by using available census data to determine the number of very low-income households that qualify as ELI households or by presuming that 50 percent of the regional housing need allocation (RHNA) for very low-income households qualify as ELI households. • The process first allocates housing needs for each jurisdiction based on the percentage of householdsthat fallsinto each category. For instance, if 15 percent of households fall under the low-income category, then 15 percent of future housing needs should be affordable to households within that income category.
• The process then adjusted allocations according to such factors that may be particular to each jurisdiction as disproportionate housing types, number of renters, number of persons receiving public assistance, employment patterns, commuting patterns, and avoidance of over-impaction of low-income households.

Senate Bill 375 (5B 375) (Steinberg, 2008) and Senate Bill 575 (Steinberg, 2009) affect the RHNA process and this 6th Cycle Housing Element in several ways. The main changes since the 5th Cycle include: (a) the integration of the RHNA process with the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and the Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS); (b) requirement for coordination and consistency of the housing element with the RTP and SCS; and (c) the length of the housing element cycle. The 6th Cycle for the Kern County region covers an eight-year planning horizon (June 2023 to December 2031).

Table 2-32 compares the shares of households in five income categories in 2019 with the adjusted shares of Kern COG's RHNA allocations for the 2023-2031 period. While the RHNA allocation indicates a split of one-third of future units going to the three lowest income groups, the shares of households suggest that a higher proportion of RHNA allocation (nearly 60 percent) should go to the three lowest income categories. Table 2-13 and Table 2-32 show what would be equivalent (hypothetical) allocations based solely on shares of households in various income categories as is the practice with many RHNA processes. At any rate, McFarland needs to plan for a substantial proportion (or about three quarters more of allocated housing in the lower income groups) of affordable housing to meet the needs of lower income households.

Sources: U.S Census Bureau, 2019 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, Table S1901; Kern Council of Governments, 2022 Regional Housing Needs Allocation Plan, 2023-2031 Kern COG projects a total need of 244 new housing units in McFarland across variousincome categories over the eight-year planning period. The 6th Cycle RHNA suggests McFarland needs to tilt the balance between ranges of affordable and market rate housing in favor of the latter. However, the City needs to work closely with non-profit producers of lower income housing as well as proposers of large development projects to produce more housing for its residents in the lower income groups while its RHNA also focuses on meeting the regional need in the above moderate category. To keep down cost, the City could partner with non-profit developers to develop permanent lower income housing on Cityowned properties. Other cost-effective opportunities for the expansion of housing for the lower income groups include (a) conversion of downtown properties to residential/commercial mixed-use areas at higher than current densities; and (b) promotion and facilitation of accessory dwelling units.

2.7.2 Estimate of Future Housing Production
Over the 5th Cycle, McFarland produced 26 percent more housing overall than allocated. Production for the lower-income categories met targets generally while production for the higher income categories doubled the target. Going by trends in permit activities, it is likely that the City would produce above its allocation for the 6th Cycle and the production will favor the moderate to above moderate income categories, consistent with its RHNA allocation for the new cycle.

37 3.0 Resources for Residential Development

3.01 Introduction
This chapter discusses opportunities and resources for housing development in McFarland. A summary of additional information in subsequent sections of this document indicates that the City has sufficient sites with the appropriate zoning to meet the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for the eight-year planning period of the 6th Cycle. Many of the available opportunity sites are vacant while others have structures for conversion to combinations of commercial and residential mixed-uses.

The Kern Council of Governments (Kern COG) made an allocation of housing units to McFarland for the new 6th Cycle. The prior (5th Cycle) Housing Element identified opportunities for new housing units of which most of the small sites are still available to be carried forward. While there are new requirements to account for the successful use of sites identified in the previous cycle, many more opportunities for housing emerged from the updated 2040 General Plan, which increased the capacity for housing substantially beyond the City’s allocation for the 6th Cycle.

Guidelines require the analysis of housing sites to be comprehensive and realistic and to include both properties zoned for residential uses as well as those that are zoned to allow the combination of residential and commercial uses. Sites, therefore, include those that are vacant, non-vacant but underutilized, or non-vacant but convertible to mixed uses. Then there are assumptions for accessory dwelling units (ADUs), which are essential in achieving the supply of affordable housing vis-à-vis an acute shortage of affordable housing in the State. It is noteworthy that the Housing Element does not rely on non-vacant space to accommodate the RHNA. Any use of non-vacant space for housing would be over and above the capacity of vacant sites.

The identification of suitable sites followed guidelines of the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) with input from City officials in the planning, building, and development areas of the local government. Typical factors for consideration are: such physical features as slope, hazards, and type of vegetation; availability of transportation infrastructure and accessibility; lot size, use, ownership, and zoning; proximity to services and transit; and the value and extent of improvements on each site. The inventory from the 5th Cycle provided an initial dataset for update with new construction activity and new opportunities for residential space.

3.02 State Requirements for the Site Inventory
The State has guidelines for identifying housing opportunity sites. Some of the guidelines were in effect for the 5th Cycle, but many are new for the 6th Cycle. The following subsections highlight the guidelines.

3.02.1 Default Densities
In accordance with AB 2348, sites deemed suitable for lower income households must be zoned at densities of at least 30 units per acre. This is referred to as the “default density.” Despite trying to maintain its “small-town” character, McFarland needs to revise its zoning (17.78.050 - Development intensity—Development standards) to expressly allow housing densities up to 30 dwelling units per acre in mixed-use areas (Program 1.3).

38 3.02.2 Realistic Capacity
Guidelines require jurisdictions to estimate the number of housing units according to a “realistic” capacity rather than a “theoretical capacity” of the site. For instance, a site zoned for 40 units per acre, may not be able to accommodate all 40 units on an acre due to such topographical and physical features as steep slopes, wetlands, and creeks. There may also be limitations on lot coverage, height and other attributes of development that could make it difficult to achieve the maximum density zoned for the area. Guidelines also require that cities may not count the potential for density bonuses in the estimation of realistic capacities even if it is routine that projects are awarded such bonuses.

Development potential of sites depends generally on the residential density standards of the City. Consideration of whether site constraints and land use controls can achieve the permitted densities help in refining the estimates of housing capacities. The process involves the following steps:

1. In general, the acreage of the parcel was first multiplied by the allowable density, unlike the more restrictive minimum lot area per unit set forth in the Zoning Code.

2. Any fractional component on the number of units allowed under the density standards was dropped.

3. The application of density bonuses was not included in the calculation of allowable units; rather, the allowable base land use density was used.

4. The conduct of a parcel by parcel evaluation of any unusual site characteristics or land use controls led to further downward adjustments to the allowable number of residential units if additional constraints to development existed. Constraints that in some cases resulted in lower residential development potential included right-of-way for road access, irregular lot shapes, difficulty in meeting minimum roadway frontage requirements, and existence of wetlands or drainage courses on the parcel. Such constraints typically had enough of an effect to result in reduced residential capacity on some of the available lots.

5. Adherence to this methodology provided a conservative residential capacity that took into consideration any special or unusual circumstances and therefore is more realistic than a simple multiplication of lot size and density.

Instead of “theoretical capacity”, recent development activity can provide data for the estimation of “realistic capacity”. Such information can also demonstrate the feasibility of relatively small lots in accommodating housing units. In McFarland, information on recent development activity indicates that many recently approved and constructed projects are close to the theoretical zoned densities.

3.02.3 Carry-Over Sites
Assembly Bill (AB) 1397 of 2017 introduced new requirements for re-counting housing sites that were identified in previous Housing Elements. This was in response to concerns that cities were simply carrying the same sites forward from cycle to cycle without either creating incentives for development or providing evidence on feasibility of the sites for housing development. The new requirements intend to promote incentives that would encourage the development of the sites identified in specific cycles.

Under State law, “carry-over” sites must be zoned no less than three years into the planning period, which is December 31, 2026 for jurisdictions in Kern County, with a designation that allows “by right” approval for projects in which at least 20 percent of the units are affordable to lower income households. “By right” approval means that the City cannot require permits for Planned Unit Development, Conditional Use Permit, or other forms of local discretionary review. The City may require design review with public hearings as long as adopted standards are objective. The City of McFarland needs to establish “by-right” approval provisions in its zoning for

Page 102 of 386 ends

39 multi-family districts particularly when accommodating groups with the special housing needs described in Chapter 2. Additionally, It is noteworthy that multi-housing planned unit developments during previous cycles, including the 5th Cycle, dominated housing production in the City of McFarland so that most of the previous vacant small sites scattered within the central city remained undeveloped. However, the larger parcels outside downtown can accommodate additional housing need within the 6th Cycle and beyond. Excluding the small, scattered carry-over sites downtown, the relatively larger parcels outside downtown have the potential to accommodate approximately 450 dwelling units, which is nearly two times the City’s RHNA. Sections 3.1 and

7.2.1 further elaborate on availability of vacant land.

3.02.4 Special Requirements for Sites Designated to meet Lower-Income Needs Since 2015, additional legislation and guidelines from HCD have established further requirements for sites designated as suitable to meet a city’s housing needs for those in the lower income groups. More specifically, Government Code 65583.2(h) requires that each site designated for lower-income housing has the capacity for at least 16 units. This emanates from the realization that development of affordable housing usually requires large numbers of units per project to be economically feasible.

The State has also established that sites smaller than 0.5 acres or larger than 10 acres are typically not feasible for lower-income housing. These limitations do not prohibit the designation of such sites in a city’s inventory, but they do require jurisdictions to prove that the sites can be developed for affordable housing based on past trends and actual projects. Historically in McFarland, very low-income and extremely low-income apartments are typically at multi-unit sites with 40 to 80 units per location (Table 2-32) and tend to be on parcels within the efficiency range of acreages. Under the 6th Cycle, lower-income housing would continue to develop as larger parcels in R-4 zones outside downtown are developed. Additionally, ADU and mixed-use sites (zoned C-0 and C1) can also offer additional units for lower income households although these options are not counted toward the City’s RHNA.

3.02.5 Non-Vacant Sites and the “Substantial Evidence” Requirement Cities that rely on non-vacant sites to meet 50% or more of their lower income RHNA are subject to a requirement to provide “substantial evidence” that the sites are realistic and developable. Examples of substantial evidence include expiring leases, buildings in poor condition, uses with extremely low improvement values (such as parking lots), and property owners who are interested in developing the parcels. Another aspect of substantial evidence is whether nearby parcels with the same physical characteristics have recently been developed (or approved for development) at the presumed densities.

McFarland is not subject to the “substantial evidence” requirement since it is able to meet the assigned lowerincome allocations without development of non-vacant sites. However, the City has potential for additional lower-income housing units in its downtown mixed-use area beyond the 6th Cycle.

When it becomes necessary to count the units in the non-vacant sites downtown for future cycles, the City should include findings in the resolution adopting the Housing Element that existing uses do not impede additional residential development as required by Government Code § 65583.2(g)(2). The City plans to offer incentives, like fast-tracking of development applications, to property owners and developers for eventual development of non-vacant sites downtown.

40 3.02.6 Reporting of Sites by Income Category
Guidelines require cities to identify sites by income category. For reporting purposes, low- and very low-income sites may be added together and described as “lower-income” sites. Individual sites can accommodate housing for multiple income categories. For instance, large sites that are subject to the City’s inclusionary housing ordinance would serve a mixture of low, moderate, and above moderate income groups by including “above moderate income” units, while some of the units would serve “lower” income needs. Similarly, certain high density housing for market-rate rentals could also be “affordable by design” to accommodate moderate income households, for instance, in the form of studio apartments. Tables in Appendix B identify affordability levels of housing on various sites.

3.02.7 Buffer and No Net Loss Requirements
Senate Bill (SB) 166 requires that cities include a “buffer” of additional sites in case some of the sites listed in the Housing Element become unavailable before 2031. HCD requires the buffer to be at least 15 percent and encourages even higher buffers. In general, the more a community relies on non-vacant sites to meet its RHNA, the higher the buffer should be. Based on the 2040 General Plan, McFarland has designated sufficient space to accommodate 485 units on vacant parcels in its central urbanized area which equates to approximately double its RHNA of 244 units across all income groups. However, Program 1.1 requires the City to ensure that sufficient sites will be maintained throughout the planning period to accommodate the RHNA and to avoid triggering No Net Loss provisions of SB 166.

Including vacant land in the City’s extremities and potential annexation areas would increase the capacity for housing to ten times what is in the central urbanized area. For instance, an active development proposal in annexation #19 area alone is likely to produce a total of 396 single family units; 20 multi-family structures at three locations within the development, which would be more than a 100 percent buffer over total housing needs in the 6th cycle. The potential for ADUs are additional to this buffer.

SB 166 also includes a requirement for “no net loss” under which cities must demonstrate that they have adequate sites to meet RHNA units at all times during the planning period. If a project on a housing site proposes a smaller number of lower income units than was presumed in the Housing Element, the City must determine that it has adequate capacity on the remaining opportunity sites to meet its RHNA. If the City is no longer able to meet its RHNA, it must identify a developable “replacement” site to make up the lost capacity. In some cities, this could require rezoning. The risk of a net loss of sites is extremely low in McFarland given the abundance of land and its historic mix and trajectory of housing development.

3.02.8 Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Requirements The inventory of sites is subject to the requirements of AB 686 on Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH).

Guidelines require the geographical distribution of sites for lower-income housing to foster integration and create affordable housing opportunities throughout high resource areas. The entire City of McFarland falls within a low resource zone while the community is economically disadvantaged. In meeting requirements for AFFH, lower-income sites must not cluster away from sites for other income groups. The historical distribution of housing in the City depicts spreading of multiple income types across the community. The Housing Element acknowledges this phenomenon and encourages the distribution of affordable housing throughout various neighborhoods in the City. Encouragements include allowing Accessory Dwellings in single family neighborhoods and promoting duplexes, SB 9 lot splits, or lot consolidations elsewhere to enable construction of multi-family units.

Page 104 of 386 ends

41 3.02.9 SB 9 Lot Split and Duplex Requirements
Senate Bill (SB) 9, The California Housing Opportunity and More Efficiency (HOME) Act, became State law in 2021 to facilitate small-scale, multiple housing development in single-family residential zones.

The law allows a homeowner with a single family lot to divide the lot into two smaller lots. Each of the two small lots can accommodate two housing units (or a duplex) for a total of four units on the original lot. The law allows ministerial approval which enables staff to approve the lot split or additional unit thereby bypassing the regular review process through the Planning Commission, as long as the change complies with objective design and development standards. Conditions for approval include the following:
• a maximum of four units on a single-family residential parcel; • does not include historic and landmark districts;
• retains local control since homeowners must comply with local zoning requirements for height, floor area ratios, lot coverage, etc. that do not physically preclude lot splits or duplexes; • allows locals to require a percolation test for any duplex proposed to be on septic tanks; • the lot must be in a jurisdiction that is part of an urbanized area or urban cluster as designated by the US Census in order to promote strategic infill growth; • does not include lots in very high fire hazard severity zones, prime agriculture lands, hazardous waste sites, earthquake zones, floodplains that do not have adequate mitigation, and similar other lands with restrictions.

The City’s code on subdivision requires a letter of intent followed by a conference with City officials.

Historically, developers have requested lot consolidations or the subdivision of large parcels but not the splitting of individual building lots. Program 1.9 addresses the need to update the code to reflect the requirements under SB 9 to further foster the production of affordable housing.

3.1 Land Availability
Government Code Section 65583(a)(3) requires the Housing Element to contain "an inventory of land suitable for residential development, including vacant sites and sites having the potential for redevelopment, and an analysis of the relationship of zoning and public facilities and services to these sites." Appendix B contains a detailed analysis of vacant land and potential opportunities for development. The following paragraphs summarize the results of this analysis.

The most recent Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for Kern County covers the eight-year planning horizon from 2023 to 2031. Consistent with this length of planning horizon, this 2023-2031 housing element for McFarland adopts the City's share of the regional housing need of 244 units.

Consistent with the City’s 2040 General Plan, the housing element focuses on the development potential of vacant land zoned for residential uses (including infill sites), mixed use development in the City's downtown, and developing a variety of housing options. Mixed-density housing is most appropriate for accommodating the need for affordable housing. R-3, Multiple Dwelling (high density), would allow up to 15 dwelling units per acre and are located closest to Downtown, while new R-1, single family homes, are further from Downtown. Extending City limits allows for more vacant land for housing, particularly in the West expansion area and the Whisler Road Neighborhood to the south.

Development potential depends on the residential density standards of the City. Consideration of whether site constraints and land use controls can achieve the permitted densities help in refining the estimates of housing capacities. In general, the acreage of the parcel was first multiplied by the

Page 105 of 386 ends

42 allowable density, unlike the more restrictive minimum lot area per unit set forth in the Zoning Code.

Any fractional component on the number of units allowed under the density standards was dropped.

The application of density bonuses was not included in the calculation of allowable units; rather, the allowable base land use density was used. The conduct of a parcel-by-parcel evaluation of any unusual site characteristics or land use controls led to further downward adjustments to the allowable number of residential units if additional constraints to development existed. Constraints that in some cases resulted in lower residential development potential included right-of-way for road access, irregular lot shapes, difficulty in meeting minimum roadway frontage requirements, and existence of wetlands or drainage courses on the parcel. Adherence to this methodology provided a conservative residential capacity that took into consideration any special or unusual circumstances.

Although, in many cases, lot consolidation could result in a larger percentage of buildable area and a higher number of housing units, this methodology to calculate development potential did not take this possibility into account. It should be noted, however, that there are opportunities for lot consolidation, particularly in the City's Downtown Core.

3.1.1 Vacant Residential Parcels
The California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo conducted a Land Use Inventory in 2019 as part of the update to the General Plan and Land Use Element. As of October 20, 2019, the City had 77 acres of vacant land. Based on the residential densities in the Zoning Code and Land Use Element, and as further evaluated for site and planning constraints in Appendix B, Table 3-1 indicates that the 77 acres of vacant residential land can conservatively accommodate approximately 485 units, which is approximately double the 244 units in the 6th Cycle Regional Housing Needs Allocation to McFarland for the June 2023 through December 2031 period. Beyond 2031, McFarland has plenty more space allocation for housing development including affordable units.

43 3.1.2 Mixed Use Development
Historically, McFarland did not deploy much mixed use development, however, the updated 2040 General Plan designates new mixed use areas that are to provide additional housing opportunities including those for lower income residents. Proximity between housing and commercial development within mixed-use zones makes for location-efficient sites that can promote the use of alternative modes, reduce vehicle miles of travel, and lower pollution. The General Plan has designated two relatively large parcels in the central area of the City that have potential for 223 housing units at the two mixed-use centers. Appendix B has further details including an inventory of parcels.

3.1.3 Accessory Dwelling Unit Potential
Residential lots with potential to comfortably develop affordable accessory dwelling units (ADU) have the potential to generate 117 such units in the downtown area. Appendix B has further details including an inventory of parcels. The potential ADU units do not count towards the City’s RHNA.

3.2 Financial Resources
Financing is available for infrastructure and housing improvements through Federal, State, and local programs. The following subsections identify certain programs.

3.2.1 Federal and State Resources
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program – Federal funding for housing is available through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The CDBG program is flexible allowing use of funds for a wide range of activities. The eligible activities include, but are not limited to, acquisition or disposition of real estate or property, public facilities and improvements, relocation, rehabilitation and construction of housing with certain limitations, homeownership assistance, and clearance activities. The City continues to apply for CDBG funds toward rehabilitation of public facilities.

Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program – The Tax Reform Act of 1986 created the low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program to provide an alternate method of funding low-income and moderateincome housing. Each state receives a tax credit based on population to fund housing that meets program guidelines. The tax credits typically leverage private capital into new construction or acquisition and rehabilitation of affordable housing. Limitations on projects funded under the Tax Credit programs include requirements that rent is restricted by median income on certain minimum percentages of units.

Other Federal and State Resources – Table 3-2 summarizes additional funding sources that can assist extremely low, very low, low, and moderate-income households or developers of affordable housing.

Many of these funding sources are typically eligible for specific types of projects and may not be secure.

However, they do offer opportunities to facilitate affordable and adequate housing.

47 3.2.2 Local Resources
McFarland Redevelopment Agency (RDA) – As of January 1, 2011, the statewide dissolution of all Redevelopment Agencies ceased this local resource for funding affordable housing and redevelopment projects in McFarland. However, the concept of redeveloping sparsely built or disused parts of a community remains relevant especially in promoting compact mixed-use development to meet State goals for VMT reduction.

Housing Authority of the County of Kern (HACK)– The Housing Authority provides rental housing and supportive services to eligible persons with limited incomes through a variety of programs. The agency develops and manages housing for low-income households; it administers federal Section 8 rental housing assistance programs in the private rental market; and it offers a HUD-certified comprehensive counseling agency that serves homeowners and renters.

Self-Help Enterprises – Self-Help Enterprises is a non-profit community development organization based in the San Joaquin Valley. The organization helps to build low-income homes for families and provides resources and educational classes to low-income families. Self-Help Enterprises built Solinas Village, a 52 unit multi-family community. The project includes two-, three-, and four-bedroom units, all of which are affordable. There is also a community center, outdoor common space with grills and a playground. For residents, Self-Help Enterprises offers educational classes.

48 4.0 Constraints
The Government Code prescribes that the Housing Element addresses constraints to housing production and availability (Gov. Code §65583(a)(5) and (6)). Governmental constraints impact housing costs and supply as well as certainty with the housing market via controls on use of land, codes and enforcement, requirements for on-site and off-site improvements, fees and exactions, processing and permit procedures, and guidelines for housing production to suit persons with disabilities.

Non-governmental constraints are primarily market-driven and generally outside direct government control, but jurisdictions can influence and offset the negative impact of nongovernmental constraints through responsive programs and policies. This group of constraints includes land prices, construction costs, and availability of financing. The following sections analyze various constraints to housing.

4.1 Governmental Constraints
Governmental regulations intend to control development for the health, safety, and welfare of the community, but can also unintentionally increase the costs of development and consequently the cost of housing. The following subsections describe potential governmental constraints, which could affect the supply and cost of housing in McFarland.

4.1.0 Transparency of Zoning, Development Standards, and Fees In compliance with new transparency requirements for the posting of all zoning, development standards, and fees, the City’s website contains all of these items for easy public access. Table D-1 under Appendix D, for instance, shows the full list of the schedule of fees, which is accessible online.

Further, all development standards, contained within the zoning ordinance, are available within the City’s website. To ease access, the links to the development standards occur in multiple locations as users browse for various topics.

4.1.1 Land Use Controls

4.1.1.1 General Plan
State law requires each city and county in California to prepare a long-term, comprehensive plan to guide its growth and future development. The Land Use Element of the General Plan establishes the basic land uses and density of development within the various areas of the City. Under State law, the elements of the General Plan must be internally consistent, and the City's zoning must be consistent with the General Plan. The Land Use Element must therefore provide suitable locations and densities to implement the policies of the Housing Element. In compliance with new transparency requirements for posting all zoning, development standards and fees on the City’s website, the City’s zoning code, development standards, and fees are publicly accessible via the City’s website.

The City adopted the 2040 General Plan in 2021. The 2040 McFarland General Plan covers a comprehensive set of required and optional elements. Table 4-1 shows the residential land use designations in the Land Use Element, which include low density, medium density, and high-density housing. Mixed-use is another category for compatible residential and commercial uses to intermix with each other. Additionally, individual residential land use categories can accommodate a variety of housing types and styles and can assure a diversity and mixture of housing types throughout the City.

Secondary dwelling units are allowed in all residential zones.

A designation termed Planned Residential Development is an overlay district that allows increased flexibility in design with relaxed development standards for efficient use of certain housing sites.

49 Specific allowances include deviation from standard setback requirements, removal of minimum or maximum lot size standards, and reduced parking requirements. Development sites seeking this overlay designation must demonstrate to the City Council that the project meets one or more of the following criteria:
• It provides facilities or amenities suited to such special needs groups as the elderly or families with children.
• It transfers allowable development within a site from areas of greater to areas of lower environmental sensitivity or hazard.
• It provides a wider range of housing types and costs than would be possible with development of uniform dwellings throughout the project site or neighborhood. • Features of the design meet or exceed tenets of conventional standards related to privacy, usable open spaces, adequate parking, compatibility with neighborhood character, and others.
• It incorporates features which can result in lower consumption of materials, energy, or water than conventional development.

4.1.1.2 Zoning Designations
The City regulates the type, location, density, and scale of residential development through the Zoning Code. Zoning regulations are tools to implement the General Plan and are designed to protect and promote the health, safety, and general welfare of residents. The Zoning Code also helps to preserve the character and integrity of existing neighborhoods. The Zoning Code sets forth residential development standards for each zoning district. Table 4-2 shows the four zones that allow residential development by right in McFarland.

In addition to the residential zones, three commercial zones permit varying levels of mixed-use and multiple-family residential development as either allowed or conditionally permitted uses. Table 4-2 also shows the commercial zones.

With the adoption of the 2040 General Plan, it is expected that the zoning regulations would be updated to synchronize with the densities in the Plan where necessary. Notwithstanding, the zoning regulations as they stand are largely compatible with the new General Plan.

Table 4-4 provides a summary of the residential uses permitted under the City's zoning regulations. It is possible to accommodate low-income housing and special needs housing in multiple zones in McFarland, provided they meet site-specific development standards.

4.1.1.3 Zoning for a Variety of Housing Types

4.1.1.3.1 Emergency Shelters, Transitional Housing, and Supportive Housing In 2007, the State Legislature adopted Senate Bill 2 (SB 2), which requires local governments to identify one or more zoning districts that permit emergency shelters by right in their zoning codes. That means the shelters would not require conditional use permits, which could pose constraints. The law requires jurisdictions to amend zoning codes to allow by right in all residential zoning districts "transitional housing" and "supportive housing" (as defined by the Health and Safety Code Sections 50675.2(h) and 50675.14(b)). SB 2 also specifies that "emergency shelters" (as defined in the Health and Safety Code Section 50801(e) may only be subject to those development and management standards that apply to residential development within the same zone except that a local government may apply written, objective standards that include all the following:
• The maximum number of beds or persons permitted to be served nightly by the facility. • Off-street parking based upon demonstrated need, provided that the standards do not require more parking for emergency shelters than for other residential or commercial uses within the same zone.
• The size and location of exterior and interior onsite client waiting and client intake areas. • The provision of onsite management.
• The proximity to other emergency shelters provided emergency shelters are not required to be more than 300 feet apart.
• The length of stay.
• Lighting.
• Security during hours that the emergency shelter is in operation.

Similarly, AB 2339 went into effect in 2023 and requires modification of emergency shelter planning as follows:
