BMO COMMENTS ON HOUSING ELEMENT IN RELATION TO 1/10/2022 HCD LETTER
1. RE: HCD Letter comment A.2., page 2 - estimate of total # of units in need of rehab or replacement.
Reference H/E Edit in red page B- 19 does not answer the question. Need to estimate a number.
Using Table B-25, I would estimate 11,924 units in need of rehab or replacement, which is 21.2% of our total housing stock, using the following percentages by age of housing to arrive at the estimate:
Before 1939 60% of units = 840
1940-1949 50% of units 1,333
1950 - 1959 40% of units 3,289
1960 - 1969 30% of units 3,941
1970 - 1979 20% of units 2,213
1980 - 1989 5% of units 308
* Total number of units needing rehab/replacement 11,924
2. See bullet on page F-16 re deficient sewer infrastructure. I f City puts that burden on affordable housing on AH sites, that burden may make those projects infeasible. Need to include money in City’s CIP in order for City to be able to address deficient sewer infrastructure for affordable housing projects.
3. See bullet on page G-28: Delet e the word "study" re: single room occupancy units.
Should read that the City will amend the OCC to allow single-room occupancy units in at least one zoning district. I would urge you to allow in both the R-3 and R-4 districts, as well as the commercial and BRP and industrial sites that allow residential development.
******* NEW COMMENTS that reference Attachment A - Response**** * Item A-1
1. Where are the moderate and high resource areas in Oxnard?
2. Need a chart that shows the low, moderate and high resource a reas in Oxnard by neighborhood.. Should also identify low resource areas, areas of linguistic isolation and R/ECAPS, so that can be correlated with the programs being put in place (that are listed at top of page 4. Should also identify the location of the five census tracts listed on page G-14, in the discussion of the new SGC AHSC Grant (Cap & Trade) EDC set-aside for five highly qualified Oxnard census tracts.
251
3. Program 10, Inclusionary Housing [pg. 2] . Re: density bonus parking. Should redraft - with inclusionary requirements - not “automatically benefits” Should be:
“allows reduced parking standards per SDB law...”
4. Program 18 - Section 8 - What was the OHA HUD technical assis tance grant for? Says it “included an asset repositioning report with implementation strategies and an evaluation of staffing levels and capacity, did not provide additional Section 8 vouchers.” I am confused, it sounds like this was for OHA properties, not section 8?
4. Program 19 AFFH -
* should include discussion of the City’s new ordinance re: rent caps and just cause eviction as an anti-displacement strategy.
* Should also have an honest discussion about parking. HCD wants waiver of parking standards for deed restricted units. Can point out that developments are eligible for reduction of parking standards pursuant to DB law. But complete waiver is not practical in neighborhoods that are not well served by public transportation and where residents need cars to get to work and to the stores, etc. When there are no alternatives to cars, we do need to have some parking opportunities for families. Identify areas of city where parking problems are problematic.
5. Program 26 - Extremely low income households. Why are you ra ising AB 2634? That law was passed in 2006. Just note that City plans to update zoning code to make it clear that SROs are allowed in at least one zone. Note that SROs are needed for more than just “Special Needs Groups”. In AB 2634 it appears to lump in SROs as supportive housing (no comma between supportive housing and SROs) Govt Code § 65583 (c)
(1) Identify actions that will be taken to make sites available during the planning period of the general plan 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 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 units, emergency shelters, and transitional housing.
252
Item A 2. Rehabilitations/Renovations Units
Need to provide an estimate of the number of units. See prior comments, point 1.
I came up with estimate of 11, 924 as the total number of units needing rehab/replacement Item A.4 Processing of Permits (pg. 9)
While it is true that the HAA does not prohibit cities from requiring discretionary approval for housing projects, the scope of that discretion is limited. I would add the following sentence after that statement in the third paragraph regarding discretionary approval:
“However, the City may not deny a project protected by the HAA (i.e. where developer proposes that at least 20% of the units be for low income), based on the Planning Commission’s inability to make any of the findings required for a special use permit. The reasons for denial are limited to the five reasons set forth in Govt. Code § 65589.5 (d).
Item B. 1 - Housing Programs SRO’s
It is stated that the Conceptual DAH/E has been amended to provide language to allow SROs in at least one zone district, rather than study the allowance. However, that was not done. Program 22 still has the language “study the allowance.” The language in Program 6 was changed.
