Attachment 2 – Redistricting Public Outreach Update
January 28, 2022 at 12:00 noon was the deadline for the public to submit revisions to the focus maps the Council identified on December 14, 2021 and/or new draft redistricting maps for consideration for at the February 8, 2022 City Council meeting.

Between the most recently public hearing and the deadline stated above, staff engaged in public outreach to notify the community. This effort included posts to the City’s social media platforms, including 60 social media posts, one email blast in English and Spanish to the interest list and community groups, and one press release in English and Spanish. Additionally, staff made flyers available at the public counters, all library branches, Orange Senior Center, and the Friendly Center in English and Spanish. In addition to online, paper map drawing kits in English and in Spanish were available at the City Clerk’s counter, the Community Services’ Counter, the Grijalva Sports Center, and all three City library branches. All marketing materials encouraged users to visit the City’s redistricting website for more information and/or to submit a draft map.

According to the City’s consultant public affairs consultant, Tripepi Smith, between December 14, 2021 and January 28, 2022, the organic engagement on the redistricting website is good in comparison to other cities also engaging in redistricting. Total, we saw 553 visitors, approximately 87.9%, of which were new users to website between December 14, 2021 and January 28, 2022. Regarding the Draft Maps page, users generated 196 page views, approximately 79% of these were unique page views. The average user spent about two minutes and 50 seconds viewing the page, which is longer than the industry standard (one minute and 27). Specific to the Draw a Map page, users generated 135 page views, approximately 86%, of these were unique page views. During this time, visitors may have been reviewing the City Council selected focus maps. The average time spent on the Draw A Map page during the previous public hearing and the deadline was one minute and 54 seconds, also higher than the industry standard. Visitors to the page most likely spend time reading instructions on how to use the provided mapping tools.

Regarding engagement on the City’s Facebook posts, the combined average reach, defined as the number of people who saw any content from your page or about your page, of the 16 posts is approximately 23,147. Additionally, the 16 posts generated 473 engagement actions, which includes the number of times a link included in your post was clicked by a user, comments and shares. The metrics still indicate that our redistricting posts drew equivalent audience share to similar posts that fall under a “Government business or elections information” umbrella.

In total, the City received seven maps from the public and one map from the City’s consultant, National Demographics Corporation (NDC) for consideration. 368

1 Kylie I spoke at 2nd redistricting portion at the Orange City Council meeting and expressed my input that district 5 should NOT be changed due to no major changes in population. In addition any attempts to manipulate or gerrymander would be a violation of the California Voting Rights Act. I am submitting this email to be part of the public record for final input on redistricting. Let me know if this email and my presentation at city council is sufficient.

2 To whom it may concern;
On behalf of the Orange Park Association and the residents of Orange Park Acres we are submitting this districting map showing our recommendation. We want to thank you for this opportunity to give our data and suggestions for the future of Orange.

Please note Santiago Creek is a key boundary that is important to Orange Park Acres and other communities of interest in East Orange.

Unit 61 is south of the Creek and belongs in District 6. We appreciate your attention to this detail.

Please let me know you receive this map and data so I am confirmed it is submitted.

Sincerely,
Sherry Hart Panttaja, President
Orange Park Association
3 Hi,
Is it possible to show income levels per proposed mapping districts. It appears some of the District 1 mapping proposed is to keep lower income residents in Orange within District 1.

GIS has the ability to isolate zip codes and sub areas by income levels. 369
Maybe for equity you need to look at Districting vs income levels.

4 Hello,
Here is my map submission. The link is below and the csv is attached.

My intentions here were as follows:
- Create more proportionally shaped districts.
- Keep District 1 focused in Old Towne.
- Keep District 5 El Modena together as one.
- Modify District 6 to comply with the Fair Maps Act.
- Balanced population between districts.

If I had to nickname each district it would be:
1: Old Towne
2: West End
3: Central
4: North End
5: El Modena
6: East End
Thank you!

5 We are residents of Orange for most of the past 25 years - all of it in East Orange areas.

We have reviewed the 4 currently proposed redistricting maps. We support map #109 or #105 as they seem to make the most sense by keeping areas with similar issues and living experiences together.

The one map that we object to is map #119 - this seems to purposely separate the east orange areas with the most in common (traffic issues, Sully Miller issues, etc.).

6 To Whom It May Concern,
Thank you for inviting the citizens of Orange to participate in the process of redrawing our districts. I appreciate the transparency with which the city is navigating this project and the education I have received on a very complex challenge.

When drawing my map, I considered simple organization and population numbers only.

I look forward to following the progress and completion of this project.

Again, thank you for the opportunity to participate.

Kind Regards,

Item #: 10.2. 2/8/2022 File #: 22-0021
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
THRU: Thomas R. Hatch, Interim City Manager
FROM: Gary A. Sheatz, City Attorney

1. SUBJECT
Public Hearing to receive and file report summarizing measures taken to evaluate impacts addressed by urgency Ordinance No. 02-21; and to consider adoption of second extension of urgency Ordinance No. 02-21.

2. SUMMARY
Government Code Section 65858(d) requires a written report describing the measures taken to alleviate the condition or conditions leading to adoption of urgency Ordinance No. 02-21-A prior to its extension. The extension of the Ordinance would continue to prohibit the addition of three or more bedrooms or three or more bathrooms to the primary residence on lots less than 12,000 square feet for one additional one year and would continue the revised definitions of Dormitory and Student Housing, unless permanent regulations are adopted prior to that time.

3. RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Receive and file report of measures taken.

2. Adopt Ordinance No. 02-21-B. Second Extension of a Revised Urgency Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Orange prohibiting the addition of three or more bedrooms or three or more bathrooms to a primary residence use on lots less than 12,000 square feet, and adding definitions of dormitory and student housing.

4. FISCAL IMPACT
None.

5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 1: Provide for a Safe Community
d: Assure the development of the City occurs in a fashion that maximizes public safety.

Goal 3: Enhance and promote quality of life in the community c: Support and enhance attractive, diverse living environments.

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
In the past two years, the City has seen numerous applications for additions or interior renovations to single-family dwellings (primary residences) in which several bedrooms and bathrooms are added, City of Orange Page 1 of 2 Printed on 2/3/2022
powered by Legistar™378
Item #: 10.2. 2/8/2022 File #: 22-0021
many with exterior doors and wet bars in each bedroom, in some cases transforming two or three bedroom homes into seven or eight bedroom and bathroom structures.

The negative impacts from the unrestricted additions to houses in single-family neighborhoods have caused serious negative effects on the families residing nearby. Those negative effects include parking on front lawns, illegal street parking, unsafe vehicle speed demonstrations, trampled landscaping, loud music, unruly parties, congregation of crowds from outside the neighborhoods in the front yards over and above the ordinary number of occupants, confrontational interactions with neighbors, public drinking, numerous late night disturbances, litter and trash including bottles and cups strewn about the neighborhood, overflowing trash cans, police responses to resident complaints, party call prosecutions, and what has generally been described by residents as a “fraternity” atmosphere.

On February 16, 2021, the City Council adopted urgency Ordinance No. 02-21, which addressed the immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare caused by a surge of construction activity involving residential additions by prohibiting the addition of three or more bedrooms or three or more bathrooms to single-family dwellings on lots less than 12,000 square feet. It also provided and/or revised current definitions of dormitory, student housing, bedroom, primary residence, and boarding house uses. On March 23, 2021, the City Council extended the revised urgency Ordinance for ten months and fifteen days, until February 15, 2022. On that same date, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 03-21, that added permanent definitions of bedroom and primary residence. That Ordinance became effective May 13, 2021. California Government Code section 65858(a) permits the urgency Ordinance, revised to delete the definitions of bedroom and primary residence, to be extended for another year.

The prohibition on large residential additions and the clear identification of student housing uses has allowed the City to research possible changes to the Orange Municipal Code (OMC). The adoption of standards applicable to open living space, lot coverage, parking requirements, and the categorization and proper placement for uses such as dormitories and student housing, and their impact on related infrastructure necessities while protecting neighborhoods from unregulated growth is being and will continue to be intensely studied. City staff continues to evaluate the housing stock and property sizes in the City to assess the conditions under which increasing the bedroom and bathroom count in single-family residences is suitable. The recent passage of SB 9 legislation allowing an R1 lot to be split into two lots, and allowing a second dwelling unit on each R1 lot has complicated this evaluation, necessitating more time in preparing a permanent OMC revision.

Staff’s review is on-going and requires up to an additional one year of research and empirical study.

As such, staff is recommending adoption of the extension of urgency Ordinance No. 02-21, as amended, to remain in effect until February 15, 2023.

ORDINANCE NO. 02-21-B

SECOND EXTENSION OF A REVISED URGENCY

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE

CITY OF ORANGE PROHIBITING THE ADDITION

OF THREE OR MORE BEDROOMS OR THREE OR

MORE BATHROOMS TO A PRIMARY RESIDENCE
USE ON LOTS LESS THAN 12,000 SQUARE FEET,

AND ADDING DEFINITIONS OF DORMITORY
AND STUDENT HOUSING.

WHEREAS, Section 65858(a) of the California Government Code authorizes the City Council to adopt, as an urgency measure, an interim ordinance prohibiting any uses which may be in conflict with a contemplated zoning proposal which the City Council, planning commission or planning department is studying to protect the public health, safety and welfare; and WHEREAS, the City in general, and the neighborhoods in proximity to Chapman University in particular, have been experiencing a surge of construction activity and new applications for additions to and/or interior renovations to single-family dwellings (primary residences) in which numerous bedrooms and bathrooms are being added, many with exterior doors and wet bars in each bedroom, in some cases transforming two or three bedroom homes into seven or eight bedroom and bathroom structures; and WHEREAS, the mansionization of former single-family dwellings has in many cases been promoted as “student housing properties,” with the goal of “creating a student housing assemblage” on specific streets; and
WHEREAS, the Orange Municipal Code (OMC) does not currently contain a definition for such uses as dormitory or student housing, and adding such definitions will (1) provide clarity for the categorization of renovations to primary residences as opposed to the creation of uses such as dormitories or student housing and (2) help differentiate the characteristics of singlefamily homes from dormitories and student housing uses; and WHEREAS, those mansionized single-family dwellings already constructed have caused numerous deleterious effects on the families residing nearby, including parking on front lawns, illegal street parking, unsafe vehicle speed demonstrations, trampled landscaping, loud music, unruly parties, congregation of crowds from outside the neighborhoods in the front yards over and above the number of occupants, confrontational interactions with neighbors, public drinking, late night disturbances, litter including bottles and cups visible to the neighborhood, overflowing trash cans, police responses to resident complaints, party call prosecutions, and what has been described by neighbors as a “fraternity” atmosphere, all of which effects constitute a public nuisance to the community; and
WHEREAS, on February 16, 2021, the City Council adopted urgency Ordinance No. 02-21, prohibiting the addition of three or more bedrooms or three or more bathrooms to a 382
Ord. No. 02-21-B 2 MEB
primary residence use on lots less than 12,000 square feet, and adding definitions of dormitory, primary residence and student housing, and revising definitions of bedroom and boarding house, which Ordinance was effective for forty-five days, until April 2, 2021; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code Section 65858(a), on March 23, 2021, after notice as required by law and a public hearing, the City Council extended urgency Ordinance No. 02-21, as revised, for ten months and fifteen days, until February 15, 2022 (Ordinance No. 02-21-A); and
WHEREAS, on April 13, 2021, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 03-21, that added permanent definitions of Primary Residence and Bedroom among other provisions, which Ordinance became effective on May 13, 2021. Said definitions are no longer necessary in the urgency Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code Section 65858(a), after notice and a public hearing as required by law, the City Council may, by not less than a four-fifths vote, extend the urgency Ordinance for an additional one year; and
WHEREAS, extension of urgency Ordinance No. 02-21-A, as amended, will extend the prohibition on the addition of three or more bedrooms or three or more bathrooms to a primary residence use on lots less than 12,000 square feet for an additional one year and will extend the addition of definitions of dormitory and student housing; and WHEREAS, notice of the hearing on the extension of urgency Ordinance No. 02-21-A was published in a newspaper of general circulation in accordance with Government Code Section 65090; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on February 8, 2022, to consider extension of urgency Ordinance No. 02-21-A, for one year, until February 15, 2023; and WHEREAS, the City is continuing to review and study the development standards contained in its Zoning Code to examine under what circumstances and to what extent singlefamily dwellings constituting a primary dwelling use may be expanded in the number of bedrooms and number of bathrooms, along with other remodeling development standards; and WHEREAS, the City is continuing to study the required procedure for evaluating applications for the expansion of single-family dwellings to determine the proper level of review required to protect the peace, health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood and the public at large and mitigate the specific adverse impacts stated herein; and WHEREAS, the City is continuing to study the definitions of dormitory, student housing and boarding house, to achieve a fair balance between accommodation of property owners’ rights and the negative effects of a concentration of students occupying dwellings in single-family residential neighborhoods; and
383
Ord. No. 02-21-B 3 MEB
WHEREAS, the City is also studying the effect of SB 9, that allows lot splits and second units in single-family residential neighborhoods, on the mansionization trends observed in the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds:

1. That there continues to be a current and immediate threat to the public peace, health, safety and welfare; and

2. That the approval of additional building permits or any other applicable entitlement allowing the addition of three or more bedrooms or three or more bathrooms to a single-family dwelling that is a primary residence use on a lot less than 12,000 square feet as required by the current Zoning Code would have specific adverse impacts upon the public peace, health, safety or welfare; and

3. That the addition to Orange Municipal Code Chapter 17.04 of the following definitions is necessary to preserve the public peace, health, safety and welfare:

DORMITORY, See also STUDENT HOUSING – A structure used for group accommodations, containing a number of private or semiprivate bedrooms with or without a private bathroom, usually with common recreation and kitchen areas, primarily advertised to and exclusively occupied by students of an educational facility. A dormitory may be owned or operated by a university, college, or private owner.

STUDENT HOUSING, See also DORMITORY -- A structure designed, primarily advertised to and exclusively used for long-term stay by students of an educational facility for sleeping accommodations. This includes a dormitory or fraternity/sorority house or apartment. Student housing may be owned or operated by a university, college, or private owner.

4. That extension of urgency Ordinance No. 02-21-A, as amended, is necessary to mitigate and avoid the specific adverse impacts stated herein; and

5. That there is no feasible alternative to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific, adverse impacts stated herein as well or better, with a less burdensome or restrictive effect, than extension of urgency Ordinance No. 02-21-A, as amended; and WHEREAS, the City Council determines, by no less than a four-fifths vote, that extension of this urgency Ordinance, as amended, until February 15, 2023, is a matter of Citywide importance and is necessary for the immediate preservation and protection of the public health, safety or welfare of the community.

NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Orange hereby ordains as follows:
384
Ord. No. 02-21-B 4 MEB
SECTION I:

The recitals and findings contained herein are true and correct, incorporated herein, and with the public record, form the basis for the second extension of this urgency Ordinance.

SECTION II:

The City shall not approve any building permits or any other applicable entitlement allowing the addition of three or more bedrooms or three or more bathrooms to a primary residence use on a lot less than 12,000 square feet, as required by the current Zoning Code.

SECTION III:

Chapter 17.04 of the Orange Municipal Code shall be revised to add the definitions of dormitory and student housing as set forth in the findings, above.

SECTION IV:

The subject urgency Ordinance is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3) and 15061(b)(3) because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, because there is no possibility it will have a significant effect on the environment, and it is not a "project", as defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines.

In the unlikely event the urgency Ordinance would constitute a project under CEQA, it is exempt from the provisions of CEQA per State CEQA Guideline 15321 (Class 21, Enforcement Actions by Regulatory Agencies) because it is an action taken by the City as a regulatory agency, as authorized by local ordinance, to prevent the issuance of permits for the addition of three or more bedrooms or bathrooms to a single-family dwelling in order to prevent a public nuisance. As such, no further analysis is warranted or required.

SECTION V:

This urgency Ordinance is intended to immediately supersede any existing provisions of the Orange Municipal Code to the extent those existing provisions are inconsistent with this urgency Ordinance.

SECTION VI:

If any section, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this urgency Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this urgency Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this urgency Ordinance, and each section, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause and phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one (or more) section, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase had been declared invalid or unconstitutional.

Item #: 10.3. 2/8/2022 File #: 22-0028
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Thomas R. Hatch, Interim City Manager

1. SUBJECT
Public Hearing to consider an Agreement to Convey Land with OSH Katella Terrace LLC accepting a land donation of the property located at 1249 E. Katella Avenue from OSH Katella, LLC to facilitate the development of the Katella Terrace Apartments senior affordable housing project.

2. SUMMARY
The proposed Agreement to Convey Land would transfer ownership of the property at 1249 E.

Katella Avenue to the City of Orange for the purpose of facilitating development of a 74-unit senior affordable housing project.

3. RECOMMENDED ACTION

2. Authorize the City Manager to approve and execute documents approved as to form by the City Attorney necessary to carry out the Agreement to Convey Land and the acquisition of the property by the City, including without limitation escrow documents, title documents, conveyance documents and certificate of acceptance.

3. Authorize the City Manager to sign a commitment letter to Katella Terrace LP that is consistent with the provisions of the Agreement to Convey Land.

4. FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the Agreement to Convey Land would waive approximately $90,000 in litigation fees owed to the City by OSH Katella Terrace, LLC.

5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 3: Enhance and promote quality of life in the community c: Support and enhance attractive, diverse living environments.

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
For over four decades, the Orange City Council has consistently supported the development of quality affordable housing, helping to develop 1,671 units of affordable housing since 1985. In 1981, the City and the YMCA collaborated to create the nonprofit Orange Senior Housing, Inc. (OSH) for the purpose of developing senior affordable housing on a 3.5-acre site adjacent to Hart Park. In 1986, OSH opened Triangle Terrace, a community of 75 senior apartment homes in which every City of Orange Page 1 of 3 Printed on 2/3/2022
powered by Legistar™387
Item #: 10.3. 2/8/2022 File #: 22-0028
tenant is provided a HUD Section 8 Voucher, pursuant to a contract between OSH and HUD.

In July 2016, the City Council approved a new ground lease to permit a development partnership including OSH to obtain tax credit financing to renovate Triangle Terrace. Concurrently, the City Council approved an Agreement that allowed OSH to extract cash from the refinancing that would be restricted to investment in senior affordable housing in the city. In November 2016, the refinancing of Triangle Terrace was completed, and the Restricted Amount for investment was determined to be $8,041,349. During 2017-2018, OSH made offers on several sites within the city limits, and reviewed counteroffers with City staff. A consensus was developed to pursue the 1.5-acre site at 1249 E.

Katella Avenue, where a recent change to the City’s zoning ordinance provided for high density senior housing on property with Commercial zoning. Using portions of the Restricted Funds, OSH paid the costs of escrow, due diligence, project design, and entitlement until the plans for Katella Terrace were approved by the City Council in September 2019. The project will create 74 new housing units, 73 affordable units that will be restricted to Lower Income seniors, and one manager unit. In October 2019, a wholly-owned affiliate of OSH purchased the 1.5-acre property.

When a neighboring commercial property owner challenged the entitlement under the California Environmental Quality Act, the City and OSH retained joint counsel to defend the entitlement. The litigation was settled, without change to the project’s design, by an agreement to notify the neighboring property owner whenever the construction of the project would impair traffic on the adjacent street and public alley. During 2020, OSH used portions of the Restricted Funds to demolish a two-story office building and surface parking on the site. OSH continues to use Restricted Funds to maintain the vacant property.

Project Financing
Affordable housing projects require extensive subsidies to ensure they can remain affordable and financially viable over several decades. This typically requires that they receive funding from multiple sources including federal tax credits, which are block granted to the state and awarded on a competitive basis. While this project was delayed by litigation, the state revised its criteria for scoring tax credit projects to award additional points for projects with municipal land ownership. The proposed Agreement to Convey Land would make the project more competitive for federal tax credits by transferring ownership of the land to the City.

Agreement to Convey Land
The proposed Agreement to Convey Land would transfer ownership of the property at 1249 E.

Katella Avenue to the City of Orange. The transfer of land would only occur after receiving approval from the California Department of Housing and Community Development that this transfer is exempt surplus land as defined by Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(A) and Section 37364. In consideration for the land, the City would waive the approximately $90,000 in legal fees that it is owed by OSH Katella Terrace, LLC for the joint representation in the litigation involving the project entitlement. In addition to waiving legal fees, the City would agree to negotiate exclusively with Katella Terrace, LP (Developer) for the following:
· A Development and Disposition Agreement (DDA) with the Developer for the project, this DDA would require City Council approval
· Finalize the Form of Lease (Attachment 2 to the agreement) to lease the property to the Developer for 60 years
Recommendation
Staff recommends the approval of the Agreement to Convey Land to allow the proposed Katella Terrace senior affordable housing project to be competitive for state tax credits. Staff is also City of Orange Page 2 of 3 Printed on 2/3/2022

14.2 Determination of Fair Market Value.

14.2.1 Within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the third appraiser, the appraisers shall determine the fair market value of the Property and the Improvements in accordance with the provisions hereof, and shall execute and acknowledge their determination of fair market value in writing and cause a copy thereof to be delivered to each of the parties hereto.

14.2.2 The appraisers shall determine the fair market value of the Property and the Improvements as of the date of Landlord's notice referred to in Section 14.1, based on sales of comparable property in the area in which the Property is located.

14.2.3 If a majority of the appraisers are unable to agree on fair market value within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the third appraiser, the three (3) appraisals shall be added together and their total divided by three (3). The resulting quotient shall be the fair market value of the Property and the Improvements. If, however, the low appraisal and/or high appraisal is or are more than ten percent (10%) lower and/or higher than the middle appraisal, the low and/or high appraisal shall be rounded up/down to ten percent (10%) lower or higher than the middle appraisal and the three appraisals shall thereafter be divided by three (3).

14.3 Payment of Fees. Each of the parties hereto shall (a) pay for the services of its appointee, (b) pay one-half (1/2) of the fee charged by the appraiser selected by their appointees, and (c) pay one-half (1/2) of all other proper costs of the appraisal.

Landlord shall state the reasons for any such disapproval. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Landlord shall be deemed to have automatically approved (i) a commercial or savings bank, a trust company, an insurance company, a savings and loan association, a building and loan association, an educational institution, or a pension, retirement or welfare fund; or (ii) any governmental agency or quasi-governmental agency, including, without limitation, the City of Orange, the County of Orange, or the State of California. Tenant may change the existing financing on this Property, by paying off any existing permitted Mortgage with the proceeds of a new Mortgage or adding one or more mortgages to the existing Mortgage without the consent of Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time after the Commencement Date, Tenant wishes to refinance the Project using the proceeds generated by the sale of Low Income Housing Tax Credits, Landlord reserves the right to approve the terms of any such refinancing. (b) All rights acquired by said Mortgagee shall be subject to each and all of the covenants, conditions and restrictions set forth in this Lease, and to all rights of Landlord thereunder, none of which covenants, conditions and restrictions is or shall be waived by Landlord by reason of the giving of such Mortgage.
(c) If Tenant encumbers its leasehold estate by way of a Mortgage as permitted herein, and if Landlord is advised in writing of the name and address of the Mortgagee, then this Lease shall not be terminated or canceled on account of any Event of Default by Tenant in the performance of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof, nor shall Landlord be entitled to exercise any other remedies under Section 19.2, until Landlord shall have complied with the provisions of Section 16.2 as to the Mortgagee's rights to cure and to obtain a New Lease.

16.1.2 Consent of Mortgagee Required. No cancellation, surrender, termination, or modification of this Lease shall be effective without the written consent of the holder of any Mortgage.

16.2 Rights and Obligations of Leasehold Mortgagees. If Tenant or Tenant's successors or assigns shall mortgage the leasehold interest herein demised, then, as long as any such Mortgage shall remain unsatisfied of record, the following provisions shall apply:
429
24 16.2.1 No Cancellation. Landlord will not cancel, accept a surrender of, terminate or modify this Lease without the prior consent in writing of the Mortgagee.

16.2.2 Notice of Defaults. Landlord agrees to give Mortgagee immediate notice of all defaults by Tenant under this Lease, and to simultaneously give to Mortgagee a written copy of all notices and demands that Landlord gives to Tenant. No notice or demand under this Lease shall be effective until after notice is received by Mortgagee. Any notices of default given by Landlord under this Lease shall describe the default(s) with reasonable detail. Mortgagee shall have the right to cure any breach or default within the time periods given below.

16.2.3 Mortgagee's Cure Rights.
(a) Notice and Cure. After receipt by Tenant of a notice of default under this Lease and the expiration of any applicable period of cure given to Tenant under this Lease, Landlord shall deliver an additional notice ("Mortgagee's Notice") to Mortgagee specifying the default and stating that Tenant's period of cure has expired. Mortgagee shall thereupon have the additional periods of time to cure any uncured default, as set forth below, without payment of default charges, fees, late charges or interest that might otherwise be payable by Tenant. Landlord shall not terminate this Lease or exercise its other remedies under this Lease if:
(i) Within 90 days after Mortgagee's receipt of the Mortgagee's Notice, Mortgagee (i) cures the default, or (ii) if the default reasonably requires more than 90 days to cure, commences to cure said default and diligently prosecutes the same to completion, but in no event later than 180 days after Mortgagee’s receipt of the Mortgagee’s Notice; or (ii) Where the default cannot be cured by payment or
expenditure of money or without possession of the Property or otherwise, Mortgagee initiates foreclosure or other appropriate proceedings within 90 days after receipt of the Mortgagee's Notice, cures all other defaults, complies with all other covenants and conditions of this Lease, and continues to pay all rents, real property taxes and assessments, and insurance premiums to be paid by Tenant under this Lease. Mortgagee shall then have 120 days following the later to occur of (i) the date of execution and delivery of a new lease of the Property pursuant to Section 16.2.4 (a "New Lease"), or (ii) the date on which Mortgagee or its nominee is able to occupy the Property following eviction of or vacating by Tenant under this Lease, to cure such default; provided, however, that if any such default, by its nature, is such that it cannot practicably be cured within 120 days, then Mortgagee shall have such time as shall be reasonably necessary to cure the default provided that Mortgagee commences such cure within such 120-day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the cure to completion, but in no event later than one (1) year following such occupancy.
(b) Landlord agrees to accept performance by Mortgagee of all cures, conditions and covenants as though performed by Tenant, and agrees to permit Mortgagee access to the Property to take all such actions as may be necessary or useful to perform any condition or covenants of this Lease or to cure any default of Tenant. (c) If Mortgagee elects any of the above-mentioned options, then upon Mortgagee's acquisition of this Lease by foreclosure, whether by power of sale or otherwise or by deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or if a receiver be appointed, this Lease shall continue 430
25 in full force and effect, provided that, if Mortgagee elects the option provided in Section

16.2.3(a)(ii), then upon Mortgagee's acquisition of this Lease, Mortgagee shall cure all prior defaults of Tenant under this Lease within the time set forth in said Section, and Landlord shall treat Mortgagee as Tenant under this Lease. If Mortgagee commences an action as set forth in Section 16.2.3(a)(ii), and thereafter Tenant cures such defaults (which cure Landlord shall be obligated to accept) and Mortgagee then terminates all proceedings under the option in said Section, then this Lease shall remain in full force and effect between Landlord and Tenant.

16.2.4 New Lease. In the event this Lease is terminated for any reason prior to the end of this Lease Term, Landlord shall enter into a new lease ("New Lease") with Mortgagee or Mortgagee's nominee covering the Property, provided that Mortgagee (a) requests such New Lease by written notice to Landlord within ninety (90) days after written notice by Landlord of termination of this Lease, and (b) cures all prior defaults of Tenant that are reasonably capable of being cured by Mortgagee. The New Lease shall be for the remainder of this Lease Term, effective at the date of such termination, and shall include all the rents and all the covenants, agreements, conditions, provisions, restrictions and limitations contained in this Lease. In connection with a New Lease, Landlord shall assign to Mortgagee or its nominee all of Landlord's interest in all existing subleases of all or any part of the Property and all attornment given by the Sub-Tenants.

Landlord shall not terminate or agree to terminate any sublease or enter into any new lease or sublease for all or any portion of the Property without Mortgagee's prior written consent, unless Mortgagee fails to timely deliver its request for a New Lease under this Section. In connection with any such New Lease, Landlord shall, by grant deed, convey to Mortgagee or its nominee title to the Improvements, if any, which become vested in Landlord as a result of termination of this Lease. Landlord shall allow to the Tenant under the New Lease a credit against rent equal to the net income derived by Landlord from the Property during the period from the date of termination of this Lease until the date of execution of the New Lease under this Section.

16.2.5 Security Deposits. Mortgagee or any other purchaser at a foreclosure sale of the Mortgage (or Mortgagee or its nominee if one of them enters into a New Lease with Landlord) shall succeed to all the interest of Tenant in any security or other deposits or other impound payments paid by Tenant to Landlord.

16.2.6 Permitted Delays. So long as Mortgagee is prevented by any process or injunction issued by any court or by any statutory stay, or by reason of any action by any court having jurisdiction of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving Tenant, from commencing or prosecuting foreclosure or other appropriate proceedings in the nature thereof, Mortgagee shall not be deemed for that reason to have failed to commence such proceedings or to have failed to diligently prosecute such proceedings, provided that Mortgagee uses reasonable efforts to contest and appeal the issuance or continuance of any such process, stay or injunction.

16.2.7 Defaults Deemed Cured. On transfer of this Lease at any foreclosure sale under the Mortgage or by deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or upon creation of a New Lease, any or all of the following defaults relating to the prior owner of this Lease shall be deemed cured:
(a) Attachment, execution or other judicial levy upon this Lease; 431
26 (b) Assignment of this Lease for the direct or indirect benefit of creditors of the prior Tenant;
(c) Judicial appointment of a receiver or similar officer to take possession of this Lease;
(d) Filing any petition by, for or against Tenant under any chapter of the federal Bankruptcy Act or any federal or state debtor relief statute, as amended; (e) Any failure by Tenant to make a disclosure of a hazardous substance release as required by the California Health and Safety Code, this Lease or otherwise; and (f) Any other defaults personal to Tenant and/or not otherwise reasonably curable by Mortgagee.

16.2.8 Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section shall inure only to the benefit of the holders of Mortgages. If the holders of more than one such Mortgage shall make written requests upon Landlord in accordance with this Lease, the new lease (as provided for in Section 16.2.4) shall be entered into pursuant to the request of the holder whose Mortgage shall be prior in lien thereto and thereupon the written requests for a new lease of each holder of a Mortgage junior in lien shall be and be deemed to be void and of no force or effect.

16.3 Landlord's Forbearance and Right to Cure Defaults on Leasehold Mortgages.

16.3.1 Notice. Landlord will give to any Mortgagee, at such address as is specified by the Mortgagee in accordance with Section 23.1, a copy of each notice or other communication with respect to any claim that a default exists or is about to exist from Landlord to Tenant hereunder at the time of giving such notice or communication to Tenant, and Landlord will give to the Mortgagee a copy of each notice of any rejection of this Lease by any trustee in bankruptcy of Tenant; provided, however, that a failure by Landlord to provide any such notice to Mortgagee shall not excuse a default by Tenant or extend Tenant's time to perform its obligations hereunder or effectuate a cure ofsaid default. Each such notice to a Mortgagee shall be given by U.S. certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, and shall be effective upon receipt.

16.3.2 Mortgagee's Transferees, Etc. In the event the leasehold estate hereunder shall be acquired by foreclosure, trustee's sale or deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure of a Mortgage, the purchaser at such sale or the transferee by such assignment and its successors as holders of the leasehold estate hereunder shall not be liable for any rent, if any, or other obligations accruing after its or their subsequent sale or transfer of such leasehold estate and such purchaser or transferee and its successors shall be entitled to transfer such estate or interest without consent or approval of Landlord; provided that, the purchaser or transferee or successor as holder of the leasehold estate hereunder shall be liable for the payment of all rent, if any, becoming due with respect to the period during which such purchaser, transferee or other successor is the holder of the leasehold estate hereunder. This Section shall also apply to the rights of a Mortgagee in 432
27 connection with the entry into a New Lease under Section 16.2.4 and to the appointment of a receiver on behalf of a Mortgagee.

16.4 No Liability of Mortgagee for Prior Indemnified Acts. A Mortgagee shall not be obligated to assume the liability of Tenant for any indemnities arising for a period prior to Mortgagee's acquiring the right to possession of the Property under this Lease.

16.5 Landlord Cooperation. Landlord covenants and agrees that it will act and fully cooperate with Tenant in connection with Tenant's right to grant leasehold mortgages as hereinabove provided. At the request of Tenant or any proposed or existing Mortgagee, Landlord shall promptly execute and deliver (i) any documents or instruments reasonably requested to evidence, acknowledge and/or perfect the rights of Mortgagees as herein provided; and (ii) an estoppel certificate certifying the status of this Lease and Tenant's interest herein and such matters as are reasonably requested by Tenant or such Mortgagees. Such estoppel certificate shall include, but not be limited to, certification by Landlord that (a) this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, state the nature of such modification and certify that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect), (b) all rents currently due under this Lease have been paid, (c) there are not, to Landlord's knowledge, any uncured Events of Default on the part of Tenant under this Lease or facts, acts or omissions which with the giving of notice or passing of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default. Any such estoppel certificate may be conclusively relied upon by any proposed or existing leasehold Mortgagee or assignee of Tenant's interest in this Lease.

16.6 Landlord Mortgages. Landlord's fee interest in the Property shall be senior to, and not be subordinated to, any financing obtained by Tenant in connection with the Property.

Landlord shall not encumber, pledge or otherwise convey as security its fee estate in the Property unless all holders of any such encumbrance, pledge or other security expressly agree to be subject to and bound by the terms of this Lease and that no foreclosure or other enforcement of such encumbrance, pledge or other security will disturb or effect this Lease or the rights of any Mortgagee hereunder.

16.7 Claims. Landlord and Tenant shall deliver to Mortgagee notice of any litigation or arbitration proceedings between the parties or involving the Property or this Lease. Mortgagee shall have the right, at its option, to intervene and become a party to any such proceedings. If Mortgagee elects not to intervene or become a party, Landlord shall deliver to Mortgagee prompt notice of and a copy of any award, decision or settlement agreement made in connection with any such proceeding.

16.8 Further Amendments. Landlord shall, subject to the covenants, terms and conditions of this Lease and its attachments, reasonably consider including in this Lease by suitable amendment from time to time any provision which may be reasonably requested by any proposed Mortgagee for the purpose of implementing the mortgagee protection provisions contained in this Lease and allowing that Mortgagee reasonable means to protect or preserve the lien of its Mortgage upon the occurrence of a default under the terms of this Lease. Landlord and Tenant each agree to execute and deliver (and to acknowledge for recording purposes, if necessary) any agreement required to effect any such amendment.
433
28 16.9 Bankruptcy of Landlord. In the event that Landlord shall become subject to any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, any rights, elections, or actions available to Tenant therein shall be subject to the rights of each Mortgagee, if any, under the Mortgage to consent to, or to exercise on behalf of Tenant, such rights, elections, or actions. Without limiting the foregoing, no consent or acquiescence by Tenant to any rejection of this Lease by Landlord or any successor or trustee in such proceeding shall be binding or effective without the prior, written consent thereto by each Mortgagee, if any, and the rights, liens, and claims of each Mortgagee shall extend to, encumber, and include all rights to damages for any such rejection and all rights to continued possession of the Property.

16.10 Transfer Rights. Foreclosure of any permitted Mortgage, or any sale thereunder, whether by judicial proceedings or by virtue of any power contained in the Mortgage, or any conveyance of the leasehold estate hereunder from Tenant to any Mortgagee or an affiliate of Mortgagee or entity controlled by Mortgagee, through, or in lieu of, foreclosure or other appropriate proceedings in the nature thereof, shall not require the consent of Landlord or constitute a breach of any provision of or a default under this Lease, and upon such foreclosure, sale or conveyance, Landlord shall recognize the purchaser or other transferee in connection therewith as Tenant hereunder. Any further assignments shall require the approval of Landlord, which shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

17.1.1 Tenant may sublease individual apartment units to any tenant or household who qualifies, and any commercial or office space to a Sub-Tenant, without the consent of Landlord.

17.1.2 On any termination of this Lease prior to the expiration of the Term, all of Tenant's interest as Sub-Landlord under any and all existing valid and enforceable Subleases shall be deemed automatically assigned, transferred and conveyed to Landlord. Landlord shall thereafter be bound on such Subleases to the same extent Tenant, as Sub-Landlord, was bound thereunder for all liabilities arising from and after the date of such assignment and Landlord shall have all the rights under such Subleases that Tenant, as Sub-Landlord, had under such Subleases.

If Tenant shall at any time fail to pay any Imposition or other charge in accordance with Article 4 within the time period therein permitted, then Landlord, after thirty (30) days' written notice to Tenant and without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligation of Tenant hereunder, may (but shall not be required to) pay such Imposition or other charge payable by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of Article 4.

18.2 Reimbursement and Damages. All sums so paid by Landlord shall constitute additional rent payable by Tenant under this Lease and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand.

19.1 Events of Default. Any one or all of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder:

19.1.1 If Tenant shall default in the payment of any Rent or other liquidated sums payable hereunder when and as the same becomes due and payable and such default shall continue for more than ten (10) days after Landlord shall have given written notice thereof to Tenant; or

19.1.2 The abandonment or vacation of the Property by Tenant for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days; or

19.1.3 The entry of any decree or order for relief by any court with respect to Tenant, or any assignee or transferee of Tenant (hereinafter "Assignee"), in any involuntary case under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal or state insolvency law; or the appointment of or taking possession by any receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of Tenant or any Assignee (unless such appointment is in connection with a Mortgagee's exercise of its remedies under its Mortgage), or of any substantial part of the property of Tenant or such Assignee, or the ordering or winding up or liquidating of the affairs of Tenant or any Assignee and the continuance of such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of ninety (90) days or more; or the commencement by Tenant or any such Assignee of a voluntary proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable state or federal law or consent by Tenant or any such Assignee to the entry of any order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or consent by Tenant or any such Assignee to the appointment of or taking of possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of Tenant or any such Assignee, or of any substantial property of any of the foregoing, or the making by Tenant or any such Assignee of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or Tenant or any such Assignee takes any other voluntary action related to the business of Tenant or any such Assignee or the winding up of the affairs of any of the foregoing.

19.1.4 If Tenant shall default in the performance of or compliance with any other term, covenant or condition of this Lease (other than as set forth in Section 19.1.1) and such default shall continue for more than thirty (30) days after Landlord shall have given written notice thereof to Tenant, provided, however, if cure of such default reasonably requires more than thirty (30) 435
30 days, then, provided that Tenant commences to cure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and continuously prosecutes the cure to completion (within no more than one hundred eighty (180) days following Landlord's written notice to Tenant), Tenant shall not be in default.

19.1.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, prior to declaring any default or taking any remedy permitted under this Lease or applicable law based upon an alleged default, Landlord shall give written notice of such default to the Equity Partner.

19.2 Remedies.

19.2.1 If an Event of Default shall occur and continue as aforesaid, Landlord shall have cumulatively, or in the alternative, all rights and remedies available at law or in equity and, in addition, Landlord shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease (subject to Section

19.2.7), bring suit against Tenant, pursue the remedy described in this Section and/or recover as an award in such suit or arbitration proceeding the following:
(a) The worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent and all other sums due hereunder which had been earned at the time of termination; (b) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent and all other sums due hereunder which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided;
(c) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent and all other sums due hereunder for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; (d) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by the Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things could be likely to result therefrom ; and (e) Such amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable California law.

19.2.2 The "worth at the time of award" of the amount referred to in subparagraph

19.2.1(c) above shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

19.2.3 Without terminating this Lease, so long as Landlord does not deprive Tenant of legal possession of the Property and allows Tenant to assign or sublet, Landlord may continue this Lease in effect and bring suit from time to time for any sums due, and for any subsequent Event of Default of the same or other covenants and agreements herein. 436
31 19.2.4 If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord shall also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, but subject to any nondisturbance agreements entered into with Sub-Tenants, to reenter the Property and remove all persons and property from the Property; such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant.

19.2.5 If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord shall also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, to relet the Property. If Landlord so elects to exercise its right to relet the Property but without terminating this Lease, then rentals received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied: first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any cost of such reletting; third, to the payment of the cost of any alterations and repairs to the Property; fourth, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder; and fifth, the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. Should the amount of rental received from such reletting during any month which is applied to the payment of rent hereunder be less than that agreed to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord immediately upon demand therefor by Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, as soon as ascertained, any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in such reletting or in making alterations and repairs not covered by the rentals received from such reletting.

19.2.6 No reentry or taking possession of the Property by Landlord pursuant to Paragraphs 19.2.3 or 19.2.4 shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

19.2.7 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease (except for Section

13.3.1), in no event shall Landlord have the right to terminate this Lease as a result of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or otherwise until the expiration of the initial fifteen (15) year tax credit compliance period as described in Section 42(i)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

19.3 No Waiver of Default. No acceptance by Landlord of a lesser sum than the rents or any other charges then due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest installment of the rents or other charges due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment of rent or charges due be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such installment or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease. The receipt by Landlord of any rent or any other sum of money or any other consideration paid by Tenant after the termination of this Lease, or after giving by Landlord of any notice hereunder to effect such termination, shall not, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease, reinstate, continue, or extend the term of this Lease, or destroy, or in any manner impair the efficacy of any such notice of termination as may have been given hereunder by Landlord to Tenant prior to the receipt of any such sum of money or other consideration, unless so agreed to in writing and signed by Landlord. 437
32 ARTICLE 20. PERMITTED CONTESTS
Tenant, at no cost or expense to Landlord, may contest (after prior written notice to Landlord) by appropriate legal proceedings conducted with due diligence, the amount or validity or application, in whole or in part, of any Imposition or lien or any Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement, provided that (a) in the case of liens of mechanics, materialmen, suppliers or vendors, or Impositions or liens therefor, such proceedings shall suspend the collection thereof from Landlord, and shall suspend a foreclosure against the Property and/or the Improvements, or any interest therein, or any rent, if any, (b) neither the Property or the Improvements, nor any part thereof or interest therein, or the rent, if any, or any portion thereof, would be in any danger of being sold, forfeited or lost by reason of such proceedings, (c) in the case of a Legal Requirement, Landlord would not be in any danger of any criminal liability or, unless Tenant shall have furnished a bond or other security therefor satisfactory to Landlord, any additional civil liability for failure to comply therewith and the Property and the Improvements would not be subject to the imposition of any lien as a result of such failure, and (d) Tenant shall have furnished to Landlord, if requested, a bond or other security, satisfactory to Landlord. If Tenant shall fail to contest any such matters, or to give Landlord security as hereinabove provided, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, contest the matter or settle or compromise the same without inquiring into the validity or the reasonableness thereof. Landlord, at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, will cooperate with Tenant and execute any documents or pleadings legally required for any such contest.

ARTICLE 21. [INTENTIONALLY DELETED]
ARTICLE 22. FORCE MAJEURE

1. SUBJECT
Public Hearing to consider General Plan Amendment No. 2022-0001; City of Orange 2021-2029 Housing Element Update.

2. SUMMARY
A request to adopt an updated General Plan Housing Element in accordance with State law. The updated Housing Element replaces the 2014-2021 Housing Element in its entirety. The updated Housing Element identifies and analyzes existing and projected housing needs, plans for the longterm provision of housing for a variety of household income levels, and articulates the City’s official policies for the preservation, conservation, improvement, and production of housing within the City for the 2021 through 2029 planning period.

3. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt City Council Resolution No. 11378. A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Orange approving General Plan Amendment No. 2022-0001 adopting the City of Orange 2021-2029 General Plan Housing Element.

4. FISCAL IMPACT
None.

5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 3: Enhance and promote quality of life in the community. c. Support and enhance attractive, diverse living environments.

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
The Housing Element is one of the chapters or “elements” of the City’s General Plan required by State law, establishing the City’s official policies related to housing. Pursuant to State law, it is also required to plan to accommodate new housing development consistent with the City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment allocation.

The Housing Element was last updated in January 2014 and covered the 2014-2021 planning period.

State law requires the Housing Element be updated to cover the 2021-2029 planning period within 120 days of the October 15, 2021 deadline (February 12, 2022). If the City adopts the Housing Element Update by this deadline and it is certified by the State Department of Housing and City of Orange Page 1 of 5 Printed on 2/3/2022
powered by Legistar™450
Item #: 10.4. 2/8/2022 File #: 22-0024
Element Update by this deadline and it is certified by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) (i.e., deemed in compliance with State requirements) the Housing Element will not need to be updated for another eight years. If the City does not adopt the Housing Element by the deadline, or if the adopted Housing Element is not certified by the HCD, the City will continue to work with HCD to gain compliance.

If not adopted or certified, the City could be subject to legal challenges, become ineligible for certain State funding programs, be mandated to utilize a ministerial review process for entitling housing projects, or have its authority to issue building permits suspended.

Given the complex housing issues confronting California, the State has set forth high expectations for municipalities to put policies and programs in place that result in housing production at a range of affordability levels, with particular interest in housing for Very Low and Low Income households.

Draft Housing Element Content
The City of Orange 2021-2029 General Plan Housing Element identifies and analyzes the existing and projected housing needs of the Orange community and articulates the City’s policy actions for the preservation, conservation, improvement, and production of housing units in the city. The City has been tasked by HCD through a process called the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) to accommodate 3,936 dwelling units at varying affordability levels through new construction, development of Accessory Dwelling Units, and conservation of units at risk of converting from affordable to market rate units during the 2021-2029 timeframe. Details about the RHNA process are outlined in Attachment 3.

The Housing Element addresses State requirements as detailed in Attachment 3. The Housing Plan (Section 4) of the Housing Element update establishes four central goals supported by 31 policy actions to address the City’s housing needs. These goals include:
· Providing high quality housing stock and neighborhoods · Accommodating all income levels of the City’s RHNA allocation · Ensuring maintenance, preservation, and development of housing · Providing equal housing opportunities for all
Through implementation of the policy actions and the identification of candidate housing sites within the adequate sites analysis, the Housing Element demonstrates that the City is providing substantive opportunities and making a good-faith effort to address the housing needs of the community consistent with State law.

Key Policy Action Changes from Previous Housing Element Removed:

Certain policy actions from the 2014-2021 Housing Element have been deleted as they have either been accomplished or are no longer relevant including:
· Process annexation of the East Orange General Plan area (portions of Santiago Hills II Irvine Company property that is now dedicated open space).
· Develop an Affordable Housing Toolkit for the City’s website (completed). · Balance housing production with needs of local employers (completed through the entitlement City of Orange Page 2 of 5 Printed on 2/3/2022
powered by Legistar™451
Item #: 10.4. 2/8/2022 File #: 22-0024
· Balance housing production with needs of local employers (completed through the entitlement of hundreds of housing units within proximity to Children’s Hospital Orange County, St. Joseph Hospital and UC Irvine Medical Center).

Added:
· Eliminate discretionary review process for projects on opportunity sites where at least 20% of units are affordable to low income households through establishing objective development and design standards for such projects.
· Subsidize application processing fees for residential development where all units are affordable to low and very low income households.
· Evaluate planning and development review process for streamlining opportunities. · Assist property owners with Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU). · Track ADU affordability.
· Provide local water and sewer service providers a copy of the adopted Housing Element, and collaborate on prioritizing services for new residential development. · Update the General Plan Safety Element to address updated State wildland fire and flood information.
· Integrate environmental justice content into the General Plan in compliance with SB 1000 in order to avoid concentrations of socio-economically disadvantaged populations in areas of the city with environmental challenges (exposure to sources of pollution such as transportation corridors and industrial uses).
· Conduct outreach efforts throughout the 2021-2029 timeframe to gather community input related to development of, and access to, housing with a focus on under-represented communities.
· Continue to further fair housing by taking actions to address barriers that restrict access to housing opportunities, and address discrimination and patterns of socio-economic segregation.
· Update the Density Bonus Ordinance to bring into alignment with current State law. · Update the Residential Care Facilities Ordinance to bring into alignment with current State law related to facilities with 7+ residents.
· Update the Orange Municipal Code to comply with the provisions of the State Farmworker and Employee Housing Act requirements.

Public Outreach
As part of the Housing Element Update process, the City conducted extensive public outreach activities beginning in 2019 including virtual stakeholder meetings and workshops, and an online survey. A public review draft of the Housing Element was made available from May 21 through June 21, 2021 prior to sending the document to HCD for its review and comment.

7. ANALYSIS AND STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES
Issue 1: RHNA and Housing Opportunity Sites
For the 2021-2029 Housing Element cycle, the City of Orange is responsible for demonstrating the ability to construct 3,936 RHNA units, or 2% of the countywide allocation (183,861 units). The units do not have to be constructed if the market does not choose to do so, but the Housing Element must demonstrate that there is viable zoning capacity to build the allocated units. The RHNA also assigns the housing unit need by household income level. The affordability breakdown is provided below:

City of Orange Housing Needs 2021-2029
Income Category (% of County Area Median
Income)
Number of Units Percent
Very Low (21 to 50%) 1,067 27.1%
Low (51 to 80%) 604 15.3%
Moderate (81 to 120%) 677 17.2%
Above Moderate (over 120%) 1,588 40.4%
Total 3,936 100%
Note: The 2021 area median income in Orange County is $106,700.

Housing Opportunity Sites
The City’s General Plan land use and zoning designations provide adequate development capacity to accommodate the RHNA in various locations of the city. All of the identified sites represent underutilized property that either has the potential for infill development, or the possibility of entire site redevelopment. Many sites are located in areas with Urban Mixed Use or Neighborhood Mixed Use zoning (Uptown Orange, West Katella Avenue and South Main Street), while other sites are in transition with pending or active development applications that include housing. A number of housing units are also anticipated to be produced in the form of Accessory Dwelling Units or Junior Accessory Dwelling Units. Housing Opportunity Sites and likely development scenarios are presented in Appendix B of the Housing Element Update.

The sites identified as candidate housing sites are anticipated to develop at a range of densities and affordability levels. The City anticipates continuing its work with local affordable housing developers to bring forward affordable/workforce housing projects meeting varied housing needs. Additionally, staff expects that the types of State and regional funding programs available for housing will continue to evolve, providing expanded creative financing options for affordable housing development.

Housing development, whether market rate or affordable, is largely dependent on the non-profit and private development community and the economy. The City will support and encourage the development of affordable and workforce housing projects on sites contemplated as candidate housing sites, as well as on parcels that had not been anticipated for infill residential development.

Issue 2: HCD Review
Staff submitted the Draft Housing Element for HCD review in July 2021. HCD provided comments to the City in September 2021 which are contained in Attachment 2 of the Planning Commission Staff Report (Attachment 3 to this report). Staff, with support from the City’s consultant, has addressed these comments in the public hearing draft of the document. A matrix of HCD comments and City responses is provided in Attachment 3 of the Planning Commission Staff Report. The revised document will be re-submitted to HCD following City Council adoption in anticipation of a determination that the Housing Element Update is in compliance with State law.

Additionally, staff expects that the types of State and regional funding programs available for housing will continue to evolve, providing expanded creative financing options for affordable housing development.

Housing development, whether market rate or affordable, is largely dependent on the non-profit and private development community and the economy. The City will support and encourage the development of affordable and workforce housing projects on sites contemplated as candidate housing sites, as well as on parcels that had not been anticipated for infill residential development.

Issue 2: HCD Review
Staff submitted the Draft Housing Element for HCD review in July 2021. HCD provided comments to the City in September 2021 which are contained in Attachment 2 of the Planning Commission Staff Report (Attachment 3 to this report). Staff, with support from the City’s consultant, has addressed these comments in the public hearing draft of the document. A matrix of HCD comments and City responses is provided in Attachment 3 of the Planning Commission Staff Report. The revised document will be re-submitted to HCD following City Council adoption in anticipation of a determination that the Housing Element Update is in compliance with State law.

1. SUBJECT
Public Hearing: General Plan Amendment No. 2022-0001; City of Orange 2021-2029 Housing Element Update

2. SUMMARY
A request to adopt an updated General Plan Housing Element in accordance with state law. The updated Housing Element replaces the 2014-2021 Housing Element in its entirety. The updated Housing Element identifies and analyzes existing and projected housing needs, plans for the longterm provision of housing for a variety of household income levels and articulates the City’s official policies for the preservation, conservation, improvement, and production of housing within the City for the 2021 through 2029 planning period.

3. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 01-22 entitled:

A Resolution of the Planning Commission of the City of Orange recommending that the City Council approve General Plan Amendment No. 2022-0001 adopting the City of Orange 2021-2029 General Plan Housing Element.

4. AUTHORIZING GUIDELINES
Orange Municipal Code (OMC) Sections 17.08.020 and 17.10.010 authorize the Planning Commission to provide a recommendation to the City Council for amendments to the City’s General Plan.

5. PROJECT BACKGROUND
The Housing Element is one of the chapters or “elements” of the City’s General Plan required by State law. The Housing Element establishes the City’s official policies related to housing. Pursuant to state law, it is also required to plan to accommodate new housing development consistent with the City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment allocation.

The Housing Element was last updated in January 2014 and covered the 2014 through 2021 planning period. State law requires the Housing Element be updated to cover the 2021 through 2029 planning period within 120 days of the October 15, 2021 deadline (February 12, 2022). If the City adopts the Housing Element Update by this deadline and it is certified by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) (i.e., deemed in compliance with state requirements) the Housing Element will not need to be updated for another eight years. If the City does not adopt the Housing Element by the deadline, or if the adopted Housing Element is not certified by the HCD, the City will continue to work with HCD to gain compliance. If additional edits are required, an City of Orange Page 1 of 8 Printed on 12/23/2021
powered by Legistar™46617
Item #: 7.1. 1/3/2022 File #: 21-0583
the City will continue to work with HCD to gain compliance. If additional edits are required, an adopted Housing Element may need to be amended once compliance is gained.

If not adopted or certified, the City could be subject to legal challenges, become ineligible for certain state funding programs, be mandated to utilize a ministerial review process for entitling housing projects, or have its authority to issue building permits suspended.

Given the complex housing issues confronting California, the State has set forth high expectations for municipalities to put policies and programs in place that result in housing production at a range of affordability levels, with particular interest in housing for Very Low and Low Income households.

6. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City of Orange 2021-2029 General Plan Housing Element identifies and analyzes the existing and projected housing needs of the Orange community and articulates the City’s policy actions for the preservation, conservation, improvement, and production of housing units in the City. The City has been tasked by HCD through a process called the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) to show our viability to construct 3,936 dwelling units at varying affordability income levels. Details on the RHNA process are outlined in Issue 1 of the Analysis and Statement of Issues section of this staff report. The Quantified Objectives for the 2021-2029 planning period are to accommodate the City’s 3,936 RHNA unit allocation at varying affordability levels through new construction, development of Accessory Dwelling Units, and conservation of units at risk of converting from affordable to market rate units.

The Housing Element addresses the following content, in accordance with State requirements:
· Population and employment trends.
· Existing and projected housing needs for all income groups, including extremely low income households.
· City housing and household characteristics, including cost for housing compared to ability to pay, overcrowding, and housing conditions.
· An inventory of land reasonably viable for residential development. · Analysis of existing and potential constraints, governmental and non-governmental, upon maintenance, improvement, or development of housing for all income levels. · Housing needs of people experiencing homelessness, including identification of zoning where emergency shelters are allowed as a permitted use.
· Special housing needs: handicapped, elderly, large families, farm workers, and female-headed households.
· Opportunities for energy conservation with respect to residential development. · Identification of publicly assisted housing developments. · Units at risk of conversion to market rate housing.
· Maintenance, improvement, and development of housing. · Identification of adequate sites with required public services and facilities for a variety of housing types for all income levels.
· Strategies to assist in the development of adequate housing to meet the needs of Very Low, Low, and Moderate Income households.
· Public participation program in the formulation of Housing Element Goals, Policies, and Programs.
· Regional Housing Needs Assessment prepared by the Southern California Association of City of Orange Page 2 of 8 Printed on 12/23/2021

Item #: 7.1. 1/3/2022 File #: 21-0583
Governments.
· Analysis of Fair Housing, including Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing. · Review of the effectiveness of the past Element, including the City’s accomplishments during the previous planning period.

The Housing Plan (Section 4) of the Housing Element update establishes four central goals supported by 31 policy actions to address the City’s housing needs. These goals include:
· Providing high quality housing stock and neighborhoods · Accommodating all income levels of the City’s RHNA allocation · Ensuring maintenance, preservation, and development of housing · Providing equal housing opportunities for all
Policy actions focus on:
· Acquisition/rehabilitation of housing units
· Monitoring and preserving affordable units at risk of converting to market rate units · Evaluating the housing development entitlement process · Addressing deferred property maintenance and code violations · Preserving of historic residential structures
· Promoting affordable housing
· Encouraging development of housing for large families and seniors · Facilitating infill development
· Exploring alternative funding and financing
· Providing funding support for non-profit community housing development organizations · Monitoring adequate sites for housing
· Coordinating with Chapman University to address student housing needs · Accommodating development of Accessory Dwelling Units/Junior Accessory Dwelling Units · Furthering fair housing
The complete collection of goals and policy actions is presented in Section 4 of the Housing Element update. Through implementation of the policy actions and the identification of candidate housing sites within the adequate sites analysis, the Housing Element demonstrates that the City is providing substantive opportunities and making a good-faith effort to address the housing needs of the community and fair access to housing. The policy framework and identified opportunity sites both encourage and accommodate new housing development in a manner that meets the City’s RHNA allocation and is consistent with state law.

Public Outreach
As part of the Housing Element Update process, the City conducted extensive public outreach activities beginning in 2019. These efforts included:
· Establishing a Housing Element Update webpage with all housing element materials and information.
· Two stakeholder meetings (English and Spanish) on December 1, 2020 engaging service providers, housing advocacy groups, developers, church representatives, and similar entities that provide support services to individuals with housing needs. · Virtual Community Workshops on October 12, 2020 and May 26, 2021 with recordings available on the webpage.
· An online Community Survey available from October 12, 2020 to December 1, 2020.

A public review draft of the Housing Element was made available from May 21 through June 21, 2021 on the City’s website prior to sending the document to HCD for its review and comment. The content of the draft Housing Element considers the input provided during this process. More detailed information about the public outreach process and community feedback is provided in Appendix C of the draft Housing Element Update (Attachment 1).

7. ANALYSIS AND STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES
Issue 1: Regional Housing Needs Allocation
RHNA allocation is derived from a regional housing goal that HCD supplies to the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), the metropolitan planning agency that coordinates regional planning activity for the six counties comprising Southern California. Once HCD establishes the regional housing goal, SCAG is then required to allocate a portion of the overall housing units for the region to each city and county jurisdiction in the region based on a complex methodology that incorporates factors such as housing market demand, employment opportunities, community patterns, concentrations of low-income households, and more.

For the 2021-2029 Housing Element cycle, 183,861 RHNA units are allocated throughout all jurisdictions in Orange County. Of those units, the City of Orange is responsible for demonstrating the ability to construct 3,936 RHNA units, or 2% of the County allocation. The units do not have to be constructed if the market does not choose to do so, but our 2021-2029 Housing Element must demonstrate that we have viable zoning capacity to build our RHNA allocated units. The 3,936 units of this 2021-2029 RHNA cycle assigned to Orange represents a significant increase over the 2014- 2021 RHNA which required Orange to demonstrate the ability to accommodate only 363 units. In addition to identifying a total number of housing units needed during the planning period, the RHNA also assigns the housing unit need by household income level. The affordability breakdown for the City’s RHNA is provided below:

Total 3,936 100%
Note: The 2021 area median income in Orange County is $106,700.

Housing Opportunity Sites
The City’s General Plan land use and zoning designations provide adequate development capacity to accommodate the City’s RHNA in various locations of the City. All of the identified sites represent under-utilized property that either has the potential for infill development, or the possibility of entire site redevelopment. Many of the sites are located in portions of Orange with Urban Mixed Use or Neighborhood Mixed Use zoning, while others are sites in transition with pending or active development applications that include housing. The City also anticipates that a number of housing units will be produced in the form of Accessory Dwelling Units or Junior Accessory Dwelling Units.

Housing Opportunity Sites and likely development scenarios are presented in Appendix B of the Housing Element Update.

Housing Affordability
The sites identified as candidate housing sites are anticipated to develop at a range of affordability levels. Where sites have General Plan and Zoning designations that allow over 30 units per acre, HCD acknowledges that greater affordability can be achieved in projects developed at this “default density” or higher. Sites meeting the “default density” are located in Uptown Orange in the vicinity of City of Orange Page 5 of 8 Printed on 12/23/2021
powered by Legistar™47021
Item #: 7.1. 1/3/2022 File #: 21-0583
the Outlets at Orange, and on West Katella Avenue.

In addition to the “default density” sites, the City of Orange benefits from long-standing relationships with local affordable housing developers who have a proven track record in Orange of bringing forward affordable housing units for families and senior citizens. Four such projects are currently in process, which the City anticipates will qualify with HCD towards fulfilling our 2021-2029 affordable RHNA categories. The proposed Housing Element Update anticipates continued work with these entities to continue to bring forward affordable/workforce housing projects meeting varied housing needs.

State and regional funding programs available for housing are presently expanding. Therefore, staff is speculating that tax incentives and a variety of creative funding sources will continue to evolve to encourage and facilitate affordable housing development. While the City receives relatively limited federal housing funds (HOME program), it will continue to accumulate its annual allocation in order to ultimately offer these funds to assist affordable housing projects in the community. Recent projects that have received HOME funds or involved creative financing include the entitled Corp Yard housing project on Struck Avenue and the Orange Senior Housing project on Katella Avenue.

During the 2014-2021 Housing Element cycle, 1,950 units were built in relation to the City’s 393 unit RHNA. The constructed units satisfied the identified housing unit need at nearly all of the income levels except for Very Low Income, for which 74 of the 83 unit need remain unmet.

Because the City has limited funding available to offer to affordable housing developers, and cannot look to redevelopment funds to incentivize development of affordable housing, it is dependent on the non-profit or private development community to bring forward affordable housing projects. Similarly, because the City does not have significant surplus property, it is not typically able to incentivize affordable housing projects by providing land. Therefore, housing development, whether market rate or affordable, is largely dependent on the development community and the economy.

Staff anticipates that affordable and workforce housing projects will continue to materialize in coming years, and are likely to occur on both sites contemplated in the Housing Element Update as candidate housing sites, as well as on parcels that had not been anticipated for infill residential development.

Issue 2: Policy Document Review and Updates
Changes in state law require the City to review and update, as necessary, its policy documents to bring various development disciplines into alignment with each other. There are four areas where follow up work on various policy documents will be necessary. Specifically:
· SB 1035 requires the City to identify flood hazards and address fire risk on residential property. Staff is presently undertaking a review of the General Plan Safety Element and anticipates bringing the item forward for Council consideration in the first quarter of 2022. · SB 1000 requires that the City include an environmental justice component to its General Plan. Staff intends to perform a review of the existing General Plan to determine where environmental justice content is currently addressed and where amendments may be needed to integrate additional language that addresses state law. · In conjunction with furthering fair housing opportunities through outreach and education, the City will update its Density Bonus ordinance to be consistent with state law. · To facilitate housing production and create more opportunities for housing development, the City of Orange Page 6 of 8 Printed on 12/23/2021
powered by Legistar™47122
Item #: 7.1. 1/3/2022 File #: 21-0583
· To facilitate housing production and create more opportunities for housing development, the City recently adopted a Small Lot Subdivision Ordinance, and is presently preparing a Transfer of Development Rights Ordinance that would allow development rights to be transferred from historic district properties to Urban Mixed Use districts for purposes of increasing density on the receiver site, and a specific plan for the North Tustin Street corridor that will provide strategic opportunities for the integration of housing in that district. · In response to any changes in state law related to emergency, transitional and supportive housing, the City will review and amend the Orange Municipal Code to ensure consistency with state law.

Issue 3: HCD Review
Staff submitted the Draft Housing Element for HCD review in July 2021. HCD provided comments to the City in September 2021 (Attachment 2). Staff with support from the City’s consultant has addressed these comments in the public hearing draft of the document. A matrix of HCD comments and City responses is provided in Attachment 3 to this report. The revised document will be resubmitted to HCD in anticipation of a determination that the Housing Element Update is in compliance with State law.

8. PUBLIC NOTICE
A Public Hearing notice was published in the Anaheim Bulletin newspaper on December 23, 2021 and posted at City kiosks. Project stakeholders were also notified.

9. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as follows: (i) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the state CEQA Guidelines (Common Sense Exemption) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed 2021-2029 Housing Element Update would have a significant effect on the environment; (ii) no property re-zoning is needed to accommodate the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation, and potential residential development densities have already been analyzed and mitigated in an earlier Environmental Impact Report (the Program Environmental Impact Report prepared for the 2010 Comprehensive General Plan Update, State Clearinghouse No. 2006031117); (iii) pursuant to Guideline 15283, CEQA does not apply to Regional Housing Needs determinations made by a city. For these reasons, no further CEQA documentation is required.

10. ADVISORY BOARD ACTION
Not applicable. The Planning Commission is advisory to the City Council for General Plan amendments.

Dear Anna Pehoushek:

RE: Review of the City of Orange’s 6th Cycle (2019-2021) Draft Housing Element Thank you for submitting the City of Orange’s draft housing element received for review on July 15, 2021. Pursuant to Government Code section 65585, subdivision (b), the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is reporting the results of its review. Our review was facilitated by a telephone conversation on September 9, 2021 with you, Senior Planner Chad Ortlieb, and the City’s consultants Nick Chen and Ines Galmiche of Kimley-Horn. In addition, HCD considered comments from the Kennedy Commission; the Law Office of Richard L. Spix; and Elder Law & Disability Rights Center pursuant to Government Code section 65585, subdivision (c).

The draft element addresses many statutory requirements; however, revisions will be necessary to comply with State Housing Element Law (Article 10.6 of the Gov. Code). The enclosed Appendix describes these, and other revisions needed to comply with State Housing Element Law.

To remain on an eight-year planning cycle, the City must adopt its housing element within 120 calendar days from the statutory due date of October 15, 2021 for Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) localities. If adopted after this date, Government Code section 65588, subdivision (e)(4), requires the housing element be revised every four years until adopting at least two consecutive revisions by the statutory deadline. For more information on housing element adoption requirements, please visit HCD’s website at:
http://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/housing-element/housing-elementmemos/docs/sb375_final100413.pdf.

For your information, some general plan element updates are triggered by housing element adoption. HCD reminds the County to consider timing provisions and welcomes the opportunity to provide assistance. For information, please see the Technical Advisories issued by the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research at:

Public participation in the development, adoption and implementation of the housing element is essential to effective housing planning. Throughout the housing element process, the City should continue to engage the community, including organizations that represent lowerincome and special needs households, by making information regularly available and considering and incorporating comments where appropriate.

Pursuant to Government Code section 65583.3, subdivision (b), the City must utilize standards, forms, and definitions adopted by HCD when preparing the sites inventory. Please see HCD’s housing element webpage at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/communitydevelopment/housing-element/index.shtml for a copy of the form and instructions. The City can reach out to HCD at [email protected] for technical assistance. Upon adoption of the housing element, the City must submit an electronic version of the sites inventory with its adopted housing element to [email protected].

Several federal, state, and regional funding programs consider housing element compliance as an eligibility or ranking criteria. For example, the CalTrans Senate Bill (SB) 1 Sustainable Communities grant; the Strategic Growth Council and HCD’s Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities programs; and HCD’s Permanent Local Housing Allocation consider housing element compliance and/or annual reporting requirements pursuant to Government Code section 65400. With a compliant housing element, the City meets housing element requirements for these and other funding sources.

We are committed to assisting the City in addressing all statutory requirements of State Housing Element Law. If you have any questions or need additional technical assistance, please contact Mashal Ayobi, of our staff, at [email protected] or (916) 776-7421.

Review of the City of Orange’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 1 September 13, 2021

APPENDIX

CITY OF ORANGE
The following changes are necessary to bring the City’s housing element into compliance with Article 10.6 of the Government Code. Accompanying each recommended change, we cite the supporting section of the Government Code.

Housing element technical assistance information is available on HCD’s website at http://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/housing-element/housing-elementmemos.shtml. Among other resources, the housing element section contains HCD’s latest technical assistance tool, Building Blocks for Effective Housing Elements (Building Blocks), available at http://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/building-blocks/index.shtml and includes the Government Code addressing State Housing Element Law and other resources.

A. Review and Revision
Review the previous element to evaluate the appropriateness, effectiveness, and progress in implementation, and reflect the results of this review in the revised element. (Gov. Code, § 65588 (a) and (b).)
As part of the evaluation of programs in the past cycle (Appendix A: 5th Cycle Review), the element must provide an explanation of the effectiveness of goals, policies, and related actions in meeting the housing needs of special needs populations (e.g., elderly, persons with disabilities, large households, female headed households, farmworkers and persons experiencing homelessness).

B. Housing Needs, Resources, and Constraints

1. Affirmatively further[ing] fair housing (AFFH) in accordance with Chapter 15 (commencing with Section 8899.50) of Division 1 of Title 2…shall include an assessment of fair housing in the jurisdiction (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(10)(A)) The element includes information on pages H-79 to H-85 on AFFH. However, additional information is required as follows:

Enforcement and Outreach: The element must include the City’s ability to provide enforcement and outreach capacity at a geographic level. Page 28 of the AFFH Guidance Memo1 states, “Wherever possible, the summary should include a discussion of fair housing enforcement and outreach (FHEO) at a geographic level appropriate to better determine any locational trends—simply reporting information at a city-wide level will not fully display patterns and impacts on protected characteristics. Examples of appropriate geographic levels include census tracts, block groups, neighborhoods, housing development, or any other sub-section of a locality.” Additionally, there are some missing required pieces of the FHEO section:
• Lawsuits
1 HCD’s AFFH Guidance Memo: https://hcd.ca.gov/community-development/affh/docs/affh_document_final_4-27-2021.pdf 47930
Review of the City of Orange’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 2 September 13, 2021
• Enforcement actions
• Settlements
• Judgments related to fair housing or civil rights
Pursuant to page 29 of the AFFH Guidance Memo, the element should include a description of state and local fair housing laws and how the locality complies with these laws. This page gives an example list of state and local fair housing laws.

Integration and Segregation: The housing element only analyzes integration/segregation patterns & trends for race and ethnicity. Per page 31 of the AFFH Guidance Memo, “At minimum, the analysis must discuss levels of segregation and integration for race and ethnicity, income, familial status, persons with disabilities, and identify the groups that experience the highest levels of segregation.”
Racially/Ethnically Concentrated Areas of Poverty (R/ECAP): While there are no R/ECAPs in the jurisdiction, the element must describe whether there are any Racially Concentrated Areas of Affluence (RCAAs). Page 33 of the AFFH Guidance Memo gives more information about RCAAs.

Disproportionate Housing Needs: The element needs a disproportionate housing needs analysis on homelessness. Please refer to page 39 of the AFFH Guidance Memo for more information on this.

Access to Opportunity: The element discusses the overall high/low opportunity indicators based on census tract but doesn’t give an in-depth discussion of the opportunity variables nor compare to Opportunities at a regional level. Please refer to page 35 of the AFFH Guidance Memo for more info to include to strengthen this section.

In addition, the element is missing an analysis on Disparities in Access to Opportunity for Persons with Disabilities. Pages 36-38 of the AFFH Guidance Memo give more information on what’s required for this part of the analysis.

Contributing Factors: On pages 3-82 of the housing element, it mentions that the County’s Analysis of Impediments (AI) identifies the regional goals for mitigating impediments to fair housing. However, the City must create its own list of contributing factors resulting from the AFFH analysis and must prioritize them. Per page 49 of the AFFH Guidance Memo, “The housing element must include an identification and prioritization of significant contributing factors to segregation, racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty, disparities in access to opportunity, and disproportionate housing needs.”
Local Data and Knowledge and Other Relevant Factors: The element generally does not address this requirement. Although the element provides some data in the areas of Fair Housing Enforcement and Capacity, Segregation and Integration, Racially/Ethnically Concentrated Areas of Poverty (R/ECAP), Access to Opportunity, and Disproportionate Housing Needs and Displacement Risk, the City’s analysis for each of these areas must also be informed by regional and local data and knowledge 48031
Review of the City of Orange’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 3 September 13, 2021
from stakeholders within the City. For example, the analysis could utilize outreach as described above through surveys, interviews, etc. from local non-profit organizations and advocacy groups engaged in housing issues. In addition, the element must include other relevant factors that contribute to fair housing issues in the jurisdiction.

For instance, the element can analyze historical governmental and nongovernmental land use, zoning, and investment practices (e.g., infrastructure) or other information and demographic trends.

Sites Inventory: The element discusses the proposed number of sites and units relative to racial segregation (p. 3-84) but must also address other components of the assessment of fair housing (e.g., R/ECAP, Access to Opportunity, Disproportionate Housing Need, including Displacement). The analysis must also include discussion of all regional housing needs allocation (RHNA) categories, including above moderateincome households, in relation to areas with a higher proportion of white residents and higher median incomes and address how the sites are identified to improve conditions (or if sites exacerbate conditions, how a program can mitigate the impact), whether the sites are isolated by income group and should be supported by local data and knowledge.

Goals, Priorities, Metrics, and Milestones: The element must be revised to add or modify goals and actions based on the outcomes of a complete analysis. Goals and actions must specifically respond to the analysis and to the identified and prioritized contributing factors to fair housing issues and must be significant and meaningful enough to overcome identified patterns and trends. Actions must have metrics and milestones as appropriate and must address housing mobility enhancement, new housing choices and affordability in high opportunity areas, place-based strategies for community preservation and revitalization and displacement protection.

2. Include an analysis and documentation of household characteristics, including level of payment compared to ability to pay, housing characteristics, including overcrowding, and housing stock condition. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(2).) The element identifies the age of the housing stock (p. 2-32). However, this data is insufficient to estimate the number of units in need of rehabilitation and replacement.

The analysis could supplement this information with estimates from a recent windshield survey or sampling, estimates from the code enforcement agency, or information from knowledgeable builders/developers, including non-profit housing developers or organizations. For additional information, see the Building Blocks at http://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/building-blocks/housingneeds/housing-stock-characteristics.shtml.

3. An inventory of land suitable and available for residential development, including vacant sites and sites having realistic and demonstrated potential for redevelopment during the planning period to meet the locality’s housing need for a designated income level, and an analysis of the relationship of zoning and public facilities and services to these sites. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(3).) 48132
Review of the City of Orange’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 4 September 13, 2021
The City has a RHNA of 3,936 housing units, of which 1,671 are for lower-income households. To address this need, the element relies on sites that are residentially zoned or in a mixed-use zone that permits residential uses. To demonstrate the adequacy of these sites and strategies to accommodate the City’s RHNA, the element must include complete analyses:

Realistic Capacity: For sites in commercial and mixed-use zones, the element must consider the likelihood of residential development of the estimated number of residential units determined for each site. To demonstrate the likelihood for residential development in nonresidential zones, the element could describe any performance standards mandating a specified portion of residential and any factors increasing the potential for residential development such as incentives for residential use, and residential development trends in the same nonresidential zoning districts.

For additional information, see the Building Blocks at
http://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/building-blocks/site-inventoryanalysis/analysis-of-sites-and-zoning.shtml#zoning.

Suitability of Nonvacant Sites: While the element provides a description of existing uses on nonvacant and underutilized sites, the element needs to also analyze the extent that existing uses may impede additional residential development. For example, the element includes sites owned by the Regents of the University of California, shopping and commercial centers with active retail, and an Outlet Mall.

The element can summarize past experiences converting existing uses to higher density residential development, include current market demand for the existing use, provide analysis of existing leases or contracts that would perpetuate the existing use or prevent additional residential development and include current information on development trends and market conditions in the City and relate those trends to the sites identified. The element could also consider indicators such as age and condition of the existing structure expressed developer interest, low improvement to land value ratio, and other factors. In addition, the element should indicate if the sites owned by the Regents of the University of California are expected to be put on a surplus list or if conversations with the Regents have occurred related to potential residential development of this site.

For your information, if the housing element relies upon nonvacant sites to accommodate more than 50 percent of the RHNA for lower-income households, the housing element must demonstrate that the existing use is not an impediment to additional residential development in the planning period (Gov. Code, § 65583.2, subd. (g)(2).). This can be demonstrated by providing substantial evidence that the existing use is likely to be discontinued during the planning period (Gov. Code, § 65583.2, subd. (g)(2).

Large Sites: The 1547 W Katella Ave site is 13.37 acres, and 1 City Blvd West is

11.30 acres. Sites larger than ten acres in size are deemed inadequate to accommodate housing for lower-income housing unless it is demonstrated that sites of equivalent size were successfully developed during the prior planning period for an equivalent number of lower-income housing units as projected for the site or unless the housing element describes other evidence to HCD that the site is adequate to 48233
Review of the City of Orange’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 5 September 13, 2021
accommodate lower-income housing (Gov. Code, § 65583.2, subd. (c)(2)(A).). As part of this analysis the element could indicate if a part or whole of the site will be developed and how the site is expected to be redeveloped.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU): The element projects 320 ADUs over the planning period or approximately 40 ADUs per year over the eight-year planning period.

According to HCD records, ten units were permitted in 2018, ten were permitted in 2019, and 39 permitted in 2020. These trends do not support an assumption of 40 ADUs per year. To support assumptions for ADUs in the planning period, the element should reconcile trends with HCD records, adjust assumptions as appropriate and include additional information such as more recent permitted units and inquiries, resources and incentives, other relevant factors and modify policies and programs as appropriate.

Sites with Zoning for a Variety of Housing Types:

Emergency Shelters: While the element notes emergency shelters are allowed in the M-1 and M-2 zones, it must demonstrate the City still has sufficient capacity to accommodate the identified housing need for emergency shelters and evaluate the available acreage for characteristics like parcel size or potential redevelopment or reuse opportunities, proximity to services and describe development standards.

Accessory Dwelling Units: The element should clarify whether ADUs are permitted in all zones that allow residential uses. Table 3-6 on page 3-22 appears to indicate that ADUs are only allowed in single family residential zones.

4. An analysis of potential and actual governmental constraints upon the maintenance, improvement, or development of housing for all income levels, including the types of housing identified in paragraph (1) of subdivision (c), and for persons with disabilities as identified in the analysis pursuant to paragraph (7), including land use controls, building codes and their enforcement, site improvements, fees and other exactions required of developers, and local processing and permit procedures. The analysis shall also demonstrate local efforts to remove governmental constraints that hinder the locality from meeting its share of the regional housing need in accordance with Government Code section 65584 and from meeting the need for housing for persons with disabilities, supportive housing, transitional housing, and emergency shelters identified pursuant to paragraph (7). Transitional housing and supportive housing shall be considered a residential use of property and shall be subject only to those restrictions that apply to other residential dwellings of the same type in the same zone. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(5).)
Processing and Permitting Procedures: While the element describes the application process, it must describe and analyze the City permit processing and approval procedures by zone and housing type (e.g., multifamily rental housing, mobilehomes, housing for agricultural employees, supportive housing). The analysis must evaluate the processing and permit procedures’ impacts as potential constraints on housing supply and affordability. For example, the analysis should consider processing and approval procedures and time for typical single- and multi-family developments, 48334
Review of the City of Orange’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 6 September 13, 2021
including type of permit, level of review, approval findings and any discretionary approval procedures.

Design Review: The element must describe and analyze the design review guidelines and process, including approval procedures and decision-making criteria, for their impact as potential constraints on housing supply and affordability. For example, the analysis could describe required findings and discuss whether objective standards and guidelines improve development certainty and mitigate cost impacts. The element must demonstrate this process is not a constraint or it must include a program to address this permitting requirement, as appropriate.

Zoning and Fees Transparency: The element must clarify its compliance with new transparency requirements for posting all zoning and development standards for each parcel on the jurisdiction’s website pursuant to Government Code section 65940.1, subdivision (a), paragraph (1).

Constraints on Housing for Persons with Disabilities: The element currently details that residential care facilities serving six or fewer persons are permitted in all residential zones. However, residential care facilities serving seven or more persons are limited to the same zones with the approval of a conditional use permit. The element should analyze the process as a potential constraint on housing for persons with disabilities and add or modify programs as appropriate to ensure zoning permits group homes objectively with approval certainty.

Local Ordinances: The element must specifically analyze locally adopted ordinances such as inclusionary ordinances or short-term rental ordinances that directly impact the cost and supply of residential development. The analysis should demonstrate local efforts to remove governmental constraints that hinder the locality from meeting its share of the regional housing need and from meeting the need for housing for persons with disabilities, supportive housing, transitional housing, and emergency shelters.

5. An analysis of potential and actual nongovernmental constraints upon the maintenance, improvement, or development of housing for all income levels, including the availability of financing, the price of land, the cost of construction, the requests to develop housing at densities below those anticipated in the analysis required by subdivision (c) of Government Code section 65583.2, and the length of time between receiving approval for a housing development and submittal of an application for building permits for that housing development that hinder the construction of a locality’s share of the regional housing need in accordance with Government Code section 65584. The analysis shall also demonstrate local efforts to remove nongovernmental constraints that create a gap between the locality’s planning for the development of housing for all income levels and the construction of that housing. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(6).)
The element must be revised to include analysis of requests to develop housing at densities below those anticipated, and the length of time between receiving approval for a housing development and submittal of an application for building permits that 48435
Review of the City of Orange’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 7 September 13, 2021
potentially hinder the construction of a locality’s share of the regional housing need.

The analysis must also include an analysis regarding local efforts to address nongovernmental constraints.

6. Analyze any special housing needs such as elderly; persons with disabilities, including a developmental disability; large families; farmworkers; families with female heads of households; and families and persons in need of emergency shelter. (Gov.

Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(7).)
While the element quantifies the City’s special needs populations, it must also analyze their special housing needs. The element does not include analysis of available resources nor draw any conclusions on housing need that would lead towards programs. For a complete analysis of each population group, the element should discuss challenges faced by the population, the existing resources to meet those needs (e.g., availability senior housing units, number of large units, number of deed restricted units, etc.), an assessment of any gaps in resources, and proposed policies, programs, and funding to help address those gaps. In particular, the element should analyze and address how the City is addressing the housing and service needs of the 341 persons identified as experiencing homelessness. It is HCD’s understanding that the City is terminating its contract with Mary’s Kitchen which provides meals and other services within the City of Orange. The element should discuss how the City will be replacing these services or filling the needs gap resulting from the of loss of Mary’s Kitchen within the City.

7. Analyze existing assisted housing developments that are eligible to change to nonlow-income housing uses during the next ten years due to termination of subsidy contracts, mortgage prepayment, or expiration of use restrictions. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(9) through 65583(a)(9)(D).)
According to the California Housing Partnership, four properties that are at-risk:

Friendly Center (8 units), Casas Del Rio (40 units), Walnut-Pixley (Site A) (22 units), and the Knolls Apartments (260 units) of converting to market rate within a ten-year period. As a result, the element must provide an analysis on units identified as at-risk of converting to market-rate housing. The analysis of “at-risk” units must include the following (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(9).):
• Listing of each development by project name and address • Type of governmental assistance received
• Earliest date of change from low-income use
• Total number of elderly and non-elderly units
• Estimated total cost for producing, replacing, and preserving the units at-risk • Identification of public and private non-profit corporations known to the City to have the legal and managerial capacity to acquire and manage at-risk units • Identification and consideration of use of federal, state, and local financing and subsidy programs.

For additional information and sample analysis, see the Building Blocks at http://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/building-blocks/housingneeds/assisted-housing-developments.shtml and for more information on identifying 48536
Review of the City of Orange’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 8 September 13, 2021
units at-risk, see the California Housing Partnership Corporation at http://www.chpc.net.

C. Housing Programs

1. Include a program which sets forth a schedule of actions during the planning period, each with a timeline for implementation, which may recognize that certain programs are ongoing, such that there will be beneficial impacts of the programs within the planning period, that the local government is undertaking or intends to undertake to implement the policies and achieve the goals and objectives of the housing element through the administration of land use and development controls, the provision of regulatory concessions and incentives, and the utilization of appropriate federal and state financing and subsidy programs when available. The program shall include an identification of the agencies and officials responsible for the implementation of the various actions. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c).)
Programs must demonstrate that they will have a beneficial impact within the planning period. Beneficial impact means specific commitment to deliverables, measurable metrics or objectives, definitive deadlines, dates, or benchmarks for implementation. Programs containing unclear language (e.g., “Evaluate”; “Consider”; “Encourage”; etc.) should be amended to include more specific and measurable actions. Deliverables should occur early in the planning period to ensure actual housing outcomes.

To address the program requirements of Government Code section 65583, subdivision (c)(1-6), and to facilitate implementation, all programs should be revised to include: (1) a description of the City’s specific role in implementation including meaningful actions the city will take to achieve the identified goals, policies, and program objectives; (2) definitive implementation timelines (e.g., December 31, 2024); (3) objectives, quantified where appropriate; and (4) identification of responsible agencies and officials (e.g., Planning Assistant, Community Development, etc.). For example, Policy Action 1A (Acquisition/Rehabilitation of Multifamily Residential Development), Policy Action 2C (Development of Housing for Large Families), 2L (Candidate Sites Used in Previous Housing Elements) all requires specific timeframes for identified actions. In addition, the following programs require additional information:

Policy Action 2G (Support Community Housing Development Organization New Construction Projects): The element must describe how the City will seek qualified organizations and more general information on this program.

Policy Action 4B (Homeless Services). The Policy Action states the City provides support for navigation centers in Buena Park and Placentia. The element must describe how the City supports these navigation centers and how these navigation centers address and support the housing and service needs of those individuals experiencing homelessness in the City of Orange.

Policy Action 4E (Support for Persons with Disabilities): Describe how the City will support housing for persons with disabilities and work with the regional center to promote opportunities for supportive living services.
48637
Review of the City of Orange’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 9 September 13, 2021

2. Identify actions that will be taken to make sites available during the planning period with appropriate zoning and development standards and with services and facilities to accommodate that portion of the city’s or county’s share of the regional housing need for each income level that could not be accommodated on sites identified in the inventory completed pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) without rezoning, and to comply with the requirements of Government Code section 65584.09. Sites shall be identified as needed to facilitate and encourage the development of a variety of types of housing for all income levels, including multifamily rental housing, factory-built housing, mobilehomes, housing for agricultural employees, supportive housing, single-room occupancy (SRO) units, emergency shelters, and transitional housing.
(Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(1).)
As noted in Finding B3, the element does not include a complete site analysis; therefore, the adequacy of sites and zoning were not established. Based on the results of a complete sites inventory and analysis, the City may need to add or revise programs to address a shortfall of sites or zoning available to encourage a variety of housing types. In addition, the element should be revised as follows:

Policy Action 2E (Facilitate Infill Construction): Provide a specific timeline for evaluating provisions in the Zoning Code for feasibility of providing additional regulatory relief (i.e., streamlined review, reduced and objective development standards, lot consolidations, etc.) In addition, this program could be expanded to provide specific provisions to support development of housing on the sites identified in the inventory including the redevelopment of sites with existing uses identified to accommodate the lower-income RHNA. As existing leases have been identified as a potential constraint to developing the nonvacant sites for the lower-income RHNA, the program could also monitor development on sites with existing leases as it relates to the provision of housing affordable to lower-income households and commit to the provision of additional actions as necessary to facilitate development or identify additional sites.

Policy Action 2K (Create ADU Monitoring Program): The program states that the City will monitor ADU development progress after 2 years of adopting the 6th cycle housing element and will take action within six months to ensure adequate capacity at each income level. The program should also commit to monitor by affordability assumptions.

3. The housing element shall contain programs which assist in the development of adequate housing to meet the needs of extremely low-, very low-, low- and moderate-income households. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(2).) Policy Action 2B (Promotion of Affordable Housing) indicates the development of housing for lower- and moderate-income households will be assisted primarily by applying state density bonus law (SDBL). However, in addition to complying with SDBL, the element must include a program(s) describing specific actions the City will take to assist in the development of housing affordable to lower- and moderateincome households, including extremely low-income households (ELI). For 48738
Review of the City of Orange’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 10 September 13, 2021
example, programs could prioritize some funding for the development of housing affordable to ELI households and offer financial incentives or regulatory concessions to encourage the development of a variety of housing types, such as multifamily, SRO units, and supportive housing, to address the identified housing needs for ELI households. The inclusion of specific programs to assist in the development of housing affordable to lower-income households is critical as, per third party comments received from the Kennedy Commission, the number of units affordable to moderate- and above moderate-income households approved in the last seven years was 23 times greater than those approved for low- and very lowincome households.

4. Address and, where appropriate and legally possible, remove governmental and nongovernmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing, including housing for all income levels and housing for persons with disabilities. The program shall remove constraints to, and provide reasonable accommodations for housing designed for, intended for occupancy by, or with supportive services for, persons with disabilities. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(3).)
As noted in Findings B4 and B5, the element requires a complete analysis of potential governmental and nongovernmental constraints. Depending upon the results of that analysis, the City may need to revise or add programs and address and remove or mitigate any identified constraints.

8. The housing program shall preserve for low-income household the assisted housing developments identified pursuant to paragraph (9) of subdivision (a). The program for preservation of the assisted housing developments shall utilize, to the extent necessary, all available federal, state, and local financing and subsidy programs identified in paragraph (9) of subdivision (a), except where a community has other urgent needs for which alternative funding sources are not available. The program may include strategies that involve local regulation and technical assistance. (Gov.

Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(6).)
The element includes Policy Action 1B (Monitoring and Preservation of “at-risk” Units) to monitor the units and provide technical assistance. However, the element must include specific and proactive actions to preserve the at-risk units. For example, the program could support applications by non-profits for funding to purchase at-risk units, strengthen relationships with the listed non-profits and develop a plan or strategy for quickly moving forward in the case units are noticed to convert to market-rate uses in the planning period, and consider pursuing funding on at least an annual basis. The program could also commit to contacting nonprofits immediately to develop a preservation strategy by a date certain and be ready to quickly act when notice of conversion is received and monitoring the units to ensure tenants receive proper notifications.

9. Develop a plan that incentivizes and promotes the creation of ADUs that can be offered at affordable rent, as defined in Section 50053 of the Health and Safety Code, for very low, low-, or moderate-income households. For purposes of this 48839
Review of the City of Orange’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 11 September 13, 2021
paragraph, “accessory dwelling units” has the same meaning as “accessory dwelling unit” as defined in paragraph (4) of subdivision (i) of Section 65852.2. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(7).)
The element is required to include a program that incentivizes or promotes ADU development for very low-, low-, and moderate-income households. This can take the form of flexible zoning requirements, development standards, or processing and fee incentives that facilitate the creation of ADUs, such as reduced parking requirements, fee waivers and more. Other strategies could include developing information packets to market ADU construction, targeted advertising of ADU development opportunities or establishing an ADU specialist within the planning department.

D. Quantified Objectives
Establish the number of housing units, by income level, that can be constructed, rehabilitated, and conserved over a five-year time frame. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (b)(1 & 2).)
The element must include quantified objectives to establish an estimate of housing units by individual income category that can be constructed, rehabilitated, and conserved over the planning period.

E. Public Participation
Local governments shall make a diligent effort to achieve public participation of all economic segments of the community in the development of the housing element, and the element shall describe this effort. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd.(c)(8).) While the element includes a general summary of the public participation efforts, it must also demonstrate diligent efforts were made to involve all economic segments of the community in the development of the housing element. The element should be revised to discuss outreach to lower-income and special needs groups during the public participation efforts, solicitation efforts for survey responses, and participation in community workshops. In addition, the element should also summarize the public comments and describe how they were considered and incorporated into the element.

B1. The element includes information on pages H-79 to H85 on AFFH. However, additional information is required as follows:

Enforcement and Outreach: The element must include
the City’s ability to provide enforcement and outreach
capacity at a geographic level. Page 28 of the AFFH
Guidance Memo1 states, “Wherever possible, the
summary should include a discussion of fair housing
enforcement and outreach (FHEO) at a geographic level
appropriate to better determine any locational trends—
Section 3.J (1,2, and 3) Additional Housing Element outreach details have been added to the Fair Housing Enforcement and Outreach
Capacity.

A statement has been added noting there are no current
fair housing cases in the City, and no data is available from the Fair Housing Foundation.

Mapping of candidate sites in relation to AFFH overlays (R/ECAP, RCAAs, and TCAC) has been added to Section
49041

simply reporting information at a city-wide level will not fully display patterns and impacts on protected
characteristics. Examples of appropriate geographic levels include census tracts, block groups, neighborhoods,
housing development, or any other sub-section of a
locality.” Additionally, there are some missing required pieces of the FHEO section:
 Lawsuits
 Enforcement actions
 Settlements
 Judgments related to fair housing or civil rights
Pursuant to page 29 of the AFFH Guidance Memo, the
element should include a description of state and local fair housing laws and how the locality complies with
these laws. This page gives an example list of state and local fair housing laws.

3.K – Analysis of Sites Pursuant to AB 686 – providing
geographic-level trends.

Table 1-1 includes a list of Housing Element
requirements, including AFFH requirements, and where
they are referenced throughout the Document.

B1. Integration and Segregation: The housing element
only analyzes integration/segregation patterns & trends for race and ethnicity. Per page 31 of the AFFH Guidance Memo, “At minimum, the analysis must discuss levels of
segregation and integration for race and ethnicity,
income, familial status, persons with disabilities, and identify the groups that experience the highest levels of segregation.”
Section 3.J.1 and 3.J.3 Segregation analysis is provided within Section 3.J.1.

Additional mapping and analysis has been added to
show percentages of persons with disabilities, familial statuses, and income.

B1. Racially/Ethnically Concentrated Areas of Poverty
(R/ECAP): While there are no R/ECAPs in the jurisdiction, the element must describe whether there are any Racially Concentrated Areas of Affluence (RCAAs). Page 33 of the AFFH Guidance Memo gives more information about
RCAAs.

Section 3.K A section on RCAAs has been added; it includes background, analysis, and maps illustrating ethnicity
concentrations and Median Income. RCAAs have been
identified in the City of Orange and the requisite analysis with identified census tracts has been added.

Local and regional context has also been added by
comparing the median income and population

representation of White households versus all
households, for both the City and the County.

B1. Disproportionate Housing Needs: The element needs
a disproportionate housing needs analysis on
homelessness. Please refer to page 39 of the AFFH
Guidance Memo for more information on this.

Section 2.E.7 This analysis is included in the Community Profile Section 2.E.7. The existing section includes background on homelessness as well as local and regional context
based on the County’s Point in Time study.

Data has been added to this section to provide
demographic background on persons experiencing
homelessness – count of families, transitional age youth, race and ethnicity, and sheltered or unsheltered
homelessness.

B1. Access to Opportunity: The element discusses the
overall high/low opportunity indicators based on census tract but doesn’t give an in-depth discussion of the
opportunity variables nor compare to Opportunities at a regional level. Please refer to page 35 of the AFFH
Guidance Memo for more info to include to strengthen
this section.

In addition, the element is missing an analysis on
Disparities in Access to Opportunity for Persons with
Disabilities. Pages 36-38 of the AFFH Guidance Memo give more information on what’s required for this part of the analysis.

Section 3, Table 3-22 and
Figure 3-5
Section 3.J.5
Data and analysis has been added (Table 3-22 and Figure 3-5) providing a regional and local comparison to
opportunities.

Housing needs for persons with disabilities is detailed in depth in the Community Profile pages 2-21 to 2-24.

Additional information and mapping is provided in the
Discussion of Disproportionate Housing Needs section
on pages 3-80 to 3-81.

B1. Contributing Factors: On pages 3-82 of the housing
element, it mentions that the County’s Analysis of
Impediments (AI) identifies the regional goals for
mitigating impediments to fair housing. However, the City must create its own list of contributing factors resulting from the AFFH analysis and must prioritize them. Per
page 49 of the AFFH Guidance Memo, “The housing
element must include an identification and prioritization Section 3.H.7 Additional information on contributing factors has been added to the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing
Section 3.H.7. This includes the identification of 4
contributing factors.
49243
City of Orange – HCD Response Matrix
September 2021 HCD Response Letter
HCD Comments Section/Page Number Notes
of significant contributing factors to segregation, racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty, disparities in access to opportunity, and disproportionate housing
needs.”
B1. Local Data and Knowledge and Other Relevant
Factors: The element generally does not address this
requirement. Although the element provides some data
in the areas of Fair Housing Enforcement and Capacity,
Segregation and Integration, Racially/Ethnically
Concentrated Areas of Poverty (R/ECAP), Access to
Opportunity, and Disproportionate Housing Needs and
Displacement Risk, the City’s analysis for each of these areas must also be informed by regional and local data
and knowledge from stakeholders within the City. For
example, the analysis could utilize outreach as described above through surveys, interviews, etc. from local nonprofit organizations and advocacy groups engaged in housing issues. In addition, the element must include
other relevant factors that contribute to fair housing
issues in the jurisdiction. For instance, the element can analyze historical governmental and nongovernmental
land use, zoning, and investment practices (e.g.,
infrastructure) or other information and demographic
trends.

Section 3.H.2
Appendix C
Section 3.H.2 includes an overview on outreach that
informed the data and information used in the Housing
Element. Additional details on the outreach is provided in Appendix C.

Additional analysis on contributing factors has been
added.

B1. Sites Inventory: The element discusses the proposed number of sites and units relative to racial segregation (p. 3-84) but must also address other components of the
assessment of fair housing (e.g., R/ECAP, Access to
Opportunity, Disproportionate Housing Need, including
Displacement). The analysis must also include discussion of all regional housing needs allocation (RHNA)
categories, including above moderate-income
households, in relation to areas with a higher proportion Section 3.J.2 References to candidate sites in relation to R/ECAP, RCAAs, and Opportunity areas has been added.
49344

of white residents and higher median incomes and
address how the sites are identified to improve
conditions (or if sites exacerbate conditions, how a
program can mitigate the impact), whether the sites are isolated by income group and should be supported by
local data and knowledge.

B1. Goals, Priorities, Metrics, and Milestones: The
element must be revised to add or modify goals and
actions based on the outcomes of a complete analysis.

Goals and actions must specifically respond to the
analysis and to the identified and prioritized contributing factors to fair housing issues and must be significant and meaningful enough to overcome identified patterns and
trends. Actions must have metrics and milestones as
appropriate and must address housing mobility
enhancement, new housing choices and affordability in
high opportunity areas, place-based strategies for
community preservation and revitalization and
displacement protection.

Section 4, Policy Action 4A
Section 3.J.7
Section 4 includes programs which address the fair
housing issues identified in Section 3.

Contributing factors to fair housing have been identified and added in Section 3.J.7. Including the housing policy actions which address each fair housing issue.

B2. The element identifies the age of the housing stock (p. 2-32). However, this data is insufficient to estimate the number of units in need of rehabilitation and
replacement. The analysis could supplement this
information with estimates from a recent windshield
survey or sampling, estimates from the code enforcement agency, or information from knowledgeable
builders/developers, including non-profit housing
developers or organizations. For additional information, see the Building Blocks at
http://www.hcd.ca.gov/communitydevelopment/building-blocks/housing-needs/housingstock-characteristics.shtml.

Section 2.F.4 A statement has been added to Section 2.F.4 noting there are currently no ongoing code enforcement cases
for units needing rehabilitation or replacing.
49445
City of Orange – HCD Response Matrix

HCD Comments Section/Page Number Notes
B3. The City has a RHNA of 3,936 housing units, of which 1,671 are for lower-income households. To address this
need, the element relies on sites that are residentially zoned or in a mixed-use zone that permits residential
uses. To demonstrate the adequacy of these sites and
strategies to accommodate the City’s RHNA, the element
must include complete analyses:

Realistic Capacity: For sites in commercial and mixed-use zones, the element must consider the likelihood of
residential development of the estimated number of
residential units determined for each site. To
demonstrate the likelihood for residential development in nonresidential zones, the element could describe any
performance standards mandating a specified portion of
residential and any factors increasing the potential for residential development such as incentives for residential use, and residential development trends in the same
nonresidential zoning districts. For additional
information, see the Building Blocks at
http://www.hcd.ca.gov/communitydevelopment/building-blocks/site-inventoryanalysis/analysis-of-sites-and-zoning.shtml#zoning.

Appendix B, Table B-2
Appendix B, Section B
Table B-2 describes past residential development on
Urban Mixed Use sites. Mixed-use zoned sites comprise
all of the City’s identified capacity for the lower income RHNA categories.

Added UMU zoning code language in support of
residential development for affordable units and
supporting residential as a freestanding use.

Added Chapter 17.19.060 language which requires
findings to be made for development in the UMU zone
which will maintain the City’s inventory of sites to meet its RHNA.

B3. Suitability of Nonvacant Sites: While the element
provides a description of existing uses on nonvacant and underutilized sites, the element needs to also analyze the extent that existing uses may impede additional
residential development. For example, the element
includes sites owned by the Regents of the University of California, shopping and commercial centers with active retail, and an Outlet Mall. The element can summarize
past experiences converting existing uses to higher
density residential development (Table B-2), include
Appendix B, Table B-2
Appendix B, Section B &
Table B-3
Removed UC Regents sites from sites inventory
Table B-2 contains an analysis of the City’s past
experiences converting existing uses to higher density
residential development, including the use prior to
redevelopment and a project analysis of the approved
and/or constructed project.

HCD Comments Section/Page Number Notes
current market demand for the existing use, provide
analysis of existing leases or contracts that would
perpetuate the existing use or prevent additional
residential development and include current information on development trends and market conditions in the City and relate those trends to the sites identified. The
element could also consider indicators such as age and
condition of the existing structure expressed developer interest, low improvement to land value ratio, and other factors. In addition, the element should indicate if the sites owned by the Regents of the University of California are expected to be put on a surplus list or if conversations with the Regents have occurred related to potential
residential development of this site.

For your information, if the housing element relies upon nonvacant sites to accommodate more than 50 percent
of the RHNA for lower-income households, the housing
element must demonstrate that the existing use is not an impediment to additional residential development in the planning period (Gov. Code, § 65583.2, subd. (g)(2).). This can be demonstrated by providing substantial evidence
that the existing use is likely to be discontinued during the planning period (Gov. Code, § 65583.2, subd. (g)(2).

Revised assumed density in UMU area to 55 du/ac per
analysis in Table B-2 of past development of non-vacant sites within UMU.

B3. Large Sites: The 1547 W Katella Ave site is 13.37
acres, and 1 City Blvd West is 11.30 acres. Sites larger than ten acres in size are deemed inadequate to
accommodate housing for lower-income housing unless it
is demonstrated that sites of equivalent size were
successfully developed during the prior planning period for an equivalent number of lower-income housing units
as projected for the site or unless the housing element describes other evidence to HCD that the site is adequate to accommodate lower-income housing (Gov. Code, §

redeveloped.
is a past DA on this site. Anticipated net yield adjusted to be based on 9.95 acres.

Summary tables updated to reflect
B3. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU): The element projects 320 ADUs over the planning period or approximately 40
ADUs per year over the eight-year planning period.

According to HCD records, ten units were permitted in
2018, ten were permitted in 2019, and 39 permitted in
2020. These trends do not support an assumption of 40
ADUs per year. To support assumptions for ADUs in the
planning period, the element should reconcile trends with HCD records, adjust assumptions as appropriate and
include additional information such as more recent
permitted units and inquiries, resources and incentives, other relevant factors and modify policies and programs as appropriate.

Appendix B, Section A Added the total permitted ADUs and applications for 2021.
 27 permitted in 2020
 56 permitted so far in 2021 / 64 total
applications
Also added reference in Appendix B to the Housing
Programs in Section 4.

B3. Sites with Zoning for a Variety of Housing Types:

Emergency Shelters: While the element notes emergency
shelters are allowed in the M-1 and M-2 zones, it must
demonstrate the City still has sufficient capacity to
accommodate the identified housing need for emergency
shelters and evaluate the available acreage for
characteristics like parcel size or potential redevelopment or reuse opportunities, proximity to services and describe development standards.

Accessory Dwelling Units: The element should clarify
whether ADUs are permitted in all zones that allow
residential uses. Table 3-6 on page 3-22 appears to
indicate that ADUs are only allowed in single family
residential zones.

Section 3.B.6, Table 3-6 Section 3.B.6 has been updated to include additional information on M1 and M2 zones, as well as the
requirements for emergency shelters.

ADUs updated in Table 3-6 – they are permitted in all
Residential zones.
49748
City of Orange – HCD Response Matrix
September 2021 HCD Response Letter
HCD Comments Section/Page Number Notes
B4. Processing and Permitting Procedures: While the
element describes the application process, it must
describe and analyze the City permit processing and
approval procedures by zone and housing type (e.g.,
multifamily rental housing, mobilehomes, housing for
agricultural employees, supportive housing). The analysis must evaluate the processing and permit procedures’
impacts as potential constraints on housing supply and
affordability. For example, the analysis should consider processing and approval procedures and time for typical single- and multi-family developments, including type of permit, level of review, approval findings and any
discretionary approval procedures.

Section 3.B.11 General permit processing time for SFRs and MFRs has been added to Section 3.B.11.

Each housing type listed in Section 3.B.6 includes the
zones that permit the development and potential
permits required.

B4. Design Review: The element must describe and
analyze the design review guidelines and process,
including approval procedures and decision-making
criteria, for their impact as potential constraints on
housing supply and affordability. For example, the
analysis could describe required findings and discuss
whether objective standards and guidelines improve
development certainty and mitigate cost impacts. The
element must demonstrate this process is not a
constraint or it must include a program to address this permitting requirement, as appropriate.

Section 3.B.11 A statement has been added to Section 3.B.11 – Design Review to reference the programs in Section 4 noting
the City will be evaluating review procedures and
evaluate the feasibility of objective development
standards.

B4. Zoning and Fees Transparency: The element must
clarify its compliance with new transparency
requirements for posting all zoning and development
standards for each parcel on the jurisdiction’s website pursuant to Government Code section 65940.1,
subdivision (a), paragraph (1).

Section 3, Table 3-6 and
Table 3-7
A statement has been added stating the City’s Zoning is available in the Municipal Code online.

An existing statement noted the availability of
permitting fees on the City’s website.

B4. Constraints on Housing for Persons with Disabilities:

The element currently details that residential care
facilities serving six or fewer persons are permitted in all Section 4, Policy Action 4F A new Policy Action 4F has been added to amend the Municipal Code in compliance with State law.
49849
City of Orange – HCD Response Matrix
September 2021 HCD Response Letter
HCD Comments Section/Page Number Notes
residential zones. However, residential care facilities serving seven or more persons are limited to the same
zones with the approval of a conditional use permit. The element should analyze the process as a potential
constraint on housing for persons with disabilities and add or modify programs as appropriate to ensure zoning
permits group homes objectively with approval certainty.

B4. Local Ordinances: The element must specifically
analyze locally adopted ordinances such as inclusionary ordinances or short-term rental ordinances that directly impact the cost and supply of residential development.

The analysis should demonstrate local efforts to remove governmental constraints that hinder the locality from
meeting its share of the regional housing need and from meeting the need for housing for persons with
disabilities, supportive housing, transitional housing, and emergency shelters.

Section 3.B.5 A new section on Local Ordinances has been added to include the existing Growth Management Measures
analysis and new analysis on the City’s Short Term
Rental Ordinance.

B5. The element must be revised to include analysis of
requests to develop housing at densities below those
anticipated, and the length of time between receiving
approval for a housing development and submittal of an
application for building permits that potentially hinder the construction of a locality’s share of the regional
housing need. The analysis must also include an analysis regarding local efforts to address nongovernmental
constraints.

Section 3.E.4 Additional information on developing at lower densities has been added to the analysis of non-vacant sites to be redeveloped for residential uses. This includes existing examples of projects proposed at lower densities but
developed at a high density due to the City’s assistance in facilitating mixed-use developments.

B6. While the element quantifies the City’s special needs populations, it must also analyze their special housing needs. The element does not include analysis of available resources nor draw any conclusions on housing need that would lead towards programs. For a complete analysis of each population group, the element should discuss
challenges faced by the population, the existing resources Section 2.E
Section 2.E.7
Additional information on resources has been added to
Section 2 for each identified special needs group.

Including City-provided resources and those provided by local community organizations.

Section 2.E.7 on persons experiencing homelessness
includes a list of organizations and agencies which

HCD Comments Section/Page Number Notes
to meet those needs (e.g., availability senior housing
units, number of large units, number of deed restricted units, etc.), an assessment of any gaps in resources, and proposed policies, programs, and funding to help address those gaps. In particular, the element should analyze and address how the City is addressing the housing and
service needs of the 341 persons identified as
experiencing homelessness. It is HCD’s understanding
that the City is terminating its contract with Mary’s
Kitchen which provides meals and other services within
the City of Orange. The element should discuss how the
City will be replacing these services or filling the needs gap resulting from the of loss of Mary’s Kitchen within the City.
provide assistance to persons experiencing
homelessness. These organizations are well suited to
cover services lost by the closure of Mary’s Kitchen.

B7. According to the California Housing Partnership, four properties that are at-risk: Friendly Center (8 units), Casas Del Rio (40 units), Walnut-Pixley (Site A) (22 units), and the Knolls Apartments (260 units) of converting to market rate within a ten-year period. As a result, the element must provide an analysis on units identified as at-risk of converting to market-rate housing. The analysis of “atrisk” units must include the following (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(9).):
 Listing of each development by project name and
address
 Type of governmental assistance received
 Earliest date of change from low-income use
 Total number of elderly and non-elderly units
 Estimated total cost for producing, replacing, and
preserving the units at-risk
 Identification of public and private non-profit
corporations known to the City to have the legal
Section 3.J.6
Section 3, Table 3-32b
Updated the list of at-risk units. The following properties are not at-risk:
 Walnut-Prixley
 Knolls Apartments
A note has been added to Table 3-32b stating the
Friendly Center is planning on maintaining its
affordability.

and managerial capacity to acquire and manage
at-risk units
 Identification and consideration of use of federal,
state, and local financing and subsidy programs.

For additional information and sample analysis, see the Building Blocks at http://www.hcd.ca.gov/communitydevelopment/building-blocks/housing-needs/assistedhousing-developments.shtml and for more information on identifying units at-risk, see the California Housing Partnership Corporation at

Housing Problems
C1. Programs must demonstrate that they will have a
beneficial impact within the planning period. Beneficial impact means specific commitment to deliverables,
measurable metrics or objectives, definitive deadlines, dates, or benchmarks for implementation. Programs
containing unclear language (e.g., “Evaluate”; “Consider”; “Encourage”; etc.) should be amended to include more
specific and measurable actions. Deliverables should
occur early in the planning period to ensure actual
housing outcomes.

To address the program requirements of Government
Code section 65583, subdivision (c)(1-6), and to facilitate implementation, all programs should be revised to
include:
(1) a description of the City’s specific role in
implementation including meaningful actions the city will take to achieve the identified goals, policies, and program objectives;
Section 4, multiple policy
actions.

Section 4, Policy Actions
2G, 4B, and 4E
Specific timeframes added to each program in Section 4.

Policy Action 2G has been updated with a reference to
the section containing the resources and entities that
may assist in preserving affordable units.

Policy Action 4B states the City provides financial
support to the Buena Park and Placentia navigation
centers for operations. This provides regional assistance to Orange County individuals experiencing
homelessness; individuals who may be from the City of
Orange and who may otherwise come to Orange in the
future.

The City assists local individuals experiencing
homelessness by coordinating with local organizations,
2-1-1 Orange County, Orange County Housing Authority
and other government agencies to provide services and
assistance directly to individuals.

(2) definitive implementation timelines (e.g., December 31, 2024);
(3) objectives, quantified where appropriate; and
(4) identification of responsible agencies and officials (e.g., Planning Assistant, Community Development, etc.).

For example, Policy Action 1A (Acquisition/Rehabilitation of Multifamily Residential Development), Policy Action 2C (Development of Housing for Large Families), 2L
(Candidate Sites Used in Previous Housing Elements) all requires specific timeframes for identified actions. In addition, the following programs require additional
information:

Policy Action 2G (Support Community Housing
Development Organization New Construction Projects):

The element must describe how the City will seek
qualified organizations and more general information on this program.

Policy Action 4B (Homeless Services). The Policy Action states the City provides support for navigation centers in Buena Park and Placentia. The element must describe
how the City supports these navigation centers and how
these navigation centers address and support the housing and service needs of those individuals experiencing
homelessness in the City of Orange.

Policy Action 4E (Support for Persons with Disabilities):

Describe how the City will support housing for persons
with disabilities and work with the regional center to
promote opportunities for supportive living services.

Policy Action 4E – the support supports by working with the Regional Center of Orange County to identify the
housing needs of persons served by the Center,
promoting opportunities for supportive living services
and supporting efforts to eliminate barriers to housing for persons with developmental disabilities.

C2. As noted in Finding B3, the element does not include a complete site analysis; therefore, the adequacy of sites and zoning were not established. Based on the results of a complete sites inventory and analysis, the City may
need to add or revise programs to address a shortfall of sites or zoning available to encourage a variety of housing types. In addition, the element should be revised as
follows:

Policy Action 2E (Facilitate Infill Construction): Provide a specific timeline for evaluating provisions in the Zoning Code for feasibility of providing additional regulatory relief (i.e., streamlined review, reduced and objective development standards, lot consolidations, etc.) In
addition, this program could be expanded to provide
specific provisions to support development of housing on the sites identified in the inventory including the
redevelopment of sites with existing uses identified to accommodate the lower-income RHNA. As existing leases
have been identified as a potential constraint to
developing the nonvacant sites for the lower-income
RHNA, the program could also monitor development on
sites with existing leases as it relates to the provision of housing affordable to lower-income households and
commit to the provision of additional actions as necessary to facilitate development or identify additional sites.

Policy Action 2K (Create ADU Monitoring Program): The
program states that the City will monitor ADU
development progress after 2 years of adopting the 6th
cycle housing element and will take action within six
months to ensure adequate capacity at each income
Section 4, Policy Actions
2E and 2K
See responses to B3 for additional justification and
revisions to the City’s Site Analysis. This did not result in the need for additional programs.

Policy Action 2E updated to include 12 month timeline.

The program has also been revised to include: “The City will monitor the development of infill sites with existing leases as it relates to the provision of housing affordable to lower-income households. The City will review and
establish additional actions or identify additional sites should it be deemed necessary when reviewing the
monitored sites annually.”
Policy Action 2K language clarified to track in relation to affordability assumptions within the Housing Element.
50354

level. The program should also commit to monitor by
affordability assumptions.

C3. Policy Action 2B (Promotion of Affordable Housing)
indicates the development of housing for lower- and
moderate-income households will be assisted primarily
by applying state density bonus law (SDBL). However, in addition to complying with SDBL, the element must
include a program(s) describing specific actions the City will take to assist in the development of housing
affordable to lower- and moderate-income households,
including extremely low-income households (ELI). For
example, programs could prioritize some funding for the development of housing affordable to ELI households and offer financial incentives or regulatory concessions to encourage the development of a variety of housing types, such as multifamily, SRO units, and supportive housing, to address the identified housing needs for ELI households.

The inclusion of specific programs to assist in the
development of housing affordable to lower-income
households is critical as, per third party comments
received from the Kennedy Commission, the number of
units affordable to moderate- and above moderateincome households approved in the last seven years was 23 times greater than those approved for low- and very
low-income households.

Section 4, Policy Action
2M
Housing Policy Action 2M has been added. The program
stats:
“The City recognizes the importance of supporting the
development of housing for low and extremely low income households. While the City does not build housing, it is a primary goal of the Housing Element to support developers and increase the feasibility of development of housing for extremely low and low income households. Actions for this program include the following:
 When funding is available, the City shall subsidize up to 100 percent of the City’s application processing fees
for qualifying developments where all units affordable
to 80% AMI or lower.
 Promote the benefits of this program to the
development community by posting information on its
webpage and creating a handout to be distributed with
land development applications.”
C4. As noted in Findings B4 and B5, the element requires a complete analysis of potential governmental and
nongovernmental constraints. Depending upon the
results of that analysis, the City may need to revise or add programs and address and remove or mitigate any
identified constraints.

See responses to B4 for additional analysis and programs relating to governmental and nongovernmental
constraints.

C8. The element includes Policy Action 1B (Monitoring
and Preservation of “at-risk” Units) to monitor the units and provide technical assistance. However, the element
must include specific and proactive actions to preserve the at-risk units.

For example, the program could support applications by
non-profits for funding to purchase at-risk units,
strengthen relationships with the listed non-profits and develop a plan or strategy for quickly moving forward in the case units are noticed to convert to market-rate uses in the planning period, and consider pursuing funding on at least an annual basis. The program could also commit to contacting non-profits immediately to develop a
preservation strategy by a date certain and be ready to quickly act when notice of conversion is received and
monitoring the units to ensure tenants receive proper
notifications.

Section 4, Policy Action 1B Housing Policy Action 1B has been updated to include additional actions.

C9. The element is required to include a program that
incentivizes or promotes ADU development for very low-, low-, and moderate-income households. This can take the form of flexible zoning requirements, development
standards, or processing and fee incentives that facilitate the creation of ADUs, such as reduced parking
requirements, fee waivers and more. Other strategies
could include developing information packets to market
ADU construction, targeted advertising of ADU
development opportunities or establishing an ADU
specialist within the planning department.

Section 4, Policy Action 2J Housing Policy Action 2J has been updated to include provisions for the creation of an information packet on ADUs to be available at City Hall.

The program states: “The City of Orange will continue to permit construction of accessory dwelling units
consistent with State law. The City has incorporated new legislation regarding ADU development into the
Municipal Code and will continue to make updates to the City’s Municipal Code to reflect new State laws as
required.

The City will develop an informational packet to be
available to the public at City Hall. The packet will
include processes and key information regarding ADU
development opportunities. The City will continue to

work with property owners who come forward with
interest in developing ADUs and/or questions regarding
ADUs.”
Quantified Objectives
D. The element must include quantified objectives to
establish an estimate of housing units by individual
income category that can be constructed, rehabilitated, and conserved over the planning period.

Section 4, Table 4-1 Quantified objectives are provided by income category in Table 4-1.

Public Participation
E. While the element includes a general summary of the
public participation efforts, it must also demonstrate
diligent efforts were made to involve all economic
segments of the community in the development of the
housing element. The element should be revised to
discuss outreach to lower-income and special needs
groups during the public participation efforts, solicitation efforts for survey responses, and participation in
community workshops. In addition, the element should
also summarize the public comments and describe how
they were considered and incorporated into the element.
