DISCUSSION:
The City Council approved park and recreation development impact fees (DIF) for the addition of interior restrooms at the Koch Park Community Building, as part of the Placentia Parks Initiative ("PPI"). In alignment with the PPI, $95,000 in available DIF funding was budgeted for the Fiscal Year 2020-21 Capital Improvement Program for the Koch restrooms project.
The general scope of work proposed for this project included the demolition of existing concrete restroom walls, framing of new walls, installation of new ADA compliant doors, new electrical fixtures, new sewer and water lines, new sinks and toilets, and new paint and fixtures.
Additionally, as part of the Fiscal Year 2020-21 budget, the City Council approved the creation of a new Tiny Tot Community Services Program to be implemented at the Koch Park Community Building, as a revenue -neutral program. Pre -School programs are in high demand, are very popular, and are usually enrolled to full capacity. The new program provided by the Community Services Department, will focus upon youth ages 3-4 years old and will be located at the Koch Park Community Building. The restroom project at Koch will provide a dedicated interior restroom for the youth programs held at the site.
Approval of the Notice of Completion is the final step in this project and, if approved by the City Council, will be recorded with the Orange County Clerk -Recorder's Office starting the 30 -day window to file any construction claims against the contractor. At the conclusion of the 30 -day window, if no claims have been filed with the City against the contractor, the City can release the retention funds which amount to 5% of the total construction cost.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The final project construction amounts to $87,771.00. This cost consists of the construction costs of $83,382.45 and the retention costs for the project in the amount of $4,388.55. A total of $95,000 in developer fees was budgeted in the Capital Improvement Program Budget for Fiscal Year 2020- 21 for this project and was carried over into Fiscal Year 2021-22 for the completion of the project.
As such, sufficient funds exist for the recommended actions.

FISCAL
IMPACT: There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with the recommended actions.
SUMMARY:
The City Council allocated funds in the Fiscal Year ("FY") 2021-22 Capital Improvement Program ("CIP") Budget to completely renovate the Kraemer Memorial Park Fountain and surrounding plaza area. A study session presentation outlining the conceptual plans prepared for the fountain and plaza renovations along with a proposal for consideration of a Legacy Brick Program to incorporate into the project was presented to the City Council for its consideration and policy direction on October 5, 2021. At that time, the City Council approved the conceptual plans and directed Staff to proceed with the project as well as to return later with an agreement with the Placentia Community Foundation ("Foundation") to consider incorporating a Legacy Brick Program into this project. The proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Foundation outlines the proposed partnership between the City and the Foundation to sell commemorative legacy bricks to the community to be incorporated into the fountain plaza as a fundraiser as well as to further include the community's participation in this legacy project.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions:
1. Approve the draft Memorandum of Understanding between the City and the Placentia Community Foundation for a commemorative legacy brick program; and
2. Authorize the City Administrator to execute the Memorandum of Understanding in a form approved by the City Attorney.
DISCUSSION:

presentation outlining the conceptual plans prepared for the fountain and plaza renovations along with a proposal for consideration of a Legacy Brick Program to incorporate into the project was presented to the City Council for its consideration and policy direction on October 5, 2021. At that time, the City Council approved the conceptual plans and directed Staff to proceed with the project and to return later with a separate agreement with the Foundation for its consideration.
The Foundation is a registered 501(3)(c) non-profit dedicated to providing grant funds to local Placentia -based non -profits and service organizations. Staff has been working with the Foundation on developing a partnership to sell personalized commemorative bricks to the community for incorporation into this legacy project. The purpose of the proposed program is to help the Foundation raise additional funds to invest further in local organizations benefitting the Placentia community, to help the City offset some construction costs, and to provide an opportunity for the larger community to participate in this legacy project.
In December 2021, Staff released an online survey asking the community to provide input regarding the proposed Legacy Brick Program as part of the fountain renovation project. The survey was designed to gauge the community's interest in participating in such a program, to determine how much the community would be willing to spend upon commemorative bricks, and to provide additional input as to how the program should be structured and who could participate.
The survey results are attached for reference.
The proposed MOU between the City and Foundation outlines the roles and responsibilities of both parties and how the revenues generated from brick sales would be shared. The Foundation will be responsible for administering the brick sales program and will contract and coordinate directly with the brick manufacturer and engraver. The Foundation is also responsible for collecting the revenues generated by the brick sales. The City's responsibility will be to oversee the design and construction of the fountain and plaza as well as the installation of the bricks within the plaza space. The City is also responsible for the marketing and communications aspect of the brick sales and will maintain the bricks along with all the fountain and plaza improvements in perpetuity.
The proposed brick sales price is $130 for each brick with senior citizens allowed to purchase bricks at a discounted rate of $95 each. The proposed net revenue split between the City and Foundation is 60/40 in favor of the Foundation. The Foundation has committed in the MOU to return 40% of the net revenues it receives from brick sales back to the Community Services Department to help fund various programs and special events in the City throughout the year. The specific programs the Foundation would like to support are outlined in Exhibit A of the MOU. The Foundation will further reinvest an additional 15% of the net revenues it receives in new grant programs for Placentia -based non -profits and service groups and will be allowed to keep 5% of net revenues to cover administrative and tax filing costs. The City will commit all its revenue share towards offsetting project construction costs. In addition, $5 from each brick sold will be placed into a capital maintenance account to fund future repairs and maintenance for the fountain plaza.

AGENDA REPORT
SUBJECT: 2021 HOUSING ELEMENT ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT
FISCAL
IMPACT: NONE
SUMMARY:
State law requires cities to prepare and submit an Annual Progress Report ("APR") on the status and progress of implementing the goals identified within the City's certified Housing Element.
Government Code Section 65700 exempts charter cities from preparing an APR on the status of the housing element. However, all cities including charter cities must submit an Annual Progress Report to be eligible for certain funding programs. This report is to be submitted to the City Council, the Governor's Office of Planning and Research, and the California Department of Housing and Community Development prior to April 1 of each year. This action receives and files the 2021 Housing Element Annual Progress Report which subsequently will be sent to the State.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council take the following action:
Receive and file the 2021 Housing Element Annual Progress Report.
DISCUSSION:
Government Code Section 65400 requires that the City provide the governing body, in this case the City Council, an APR on the status and progress in implementing the Housing Element using forms and definitions adopted by the California Department of Housing and Community Development ("HCD"). Government Code Section 65700 exempts charter cities from preparing an annual report on the status of the housing element. However, all cities including charter cities must submit an annual report to be eligible for certain funding programs. As stated by HCD, the APR is an important tool to facilitate implementation of a community's Housing Element and to track and monitor progress in addressing housing needs and goals. The APR includes information on a city's progress in fulfilling the Regional Housing Needs Allocation ("RHNA"), including the
1. 1.
Mar. 15, 2022
City Council Agenda
March 15, 2022
number of housing units permitted (that is, how many building permits were pulled by developers) by defined income level, as well as the status of programs in the housing element and efforts to remove governmental constraints.
The APR is to be provided to the Governor's Office of Planning and Research ("OPR") and to HCD prior to April 1 of every year. Once reviewed and received and filed by the City Council, Staff will electronically submit the APRs to the OPR and the HCD.
The APR is primarily a spreadsheet of required information regarding annual building activity broken down into pre -defined income levels (for example, Very Low, Low, and Moderate). These income levels correspond to the regional housing need allocation as assigned by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). As detailed in the City's Amendment to the Housing Element for the 2013-2021 Planning Period, which was adopted by the City Council on January 7, 2014, the City's RHNA is 492 units. These numbers are based upon proposed housing units to be built in addition to employment and population statistics. Those 492 units, which must be achieved in the planning period of 2013 to 2021, are broken down into the following income categories:
Income Level
Extremely Low
Very Low Income

During the prior Housing Element planning period of 2006-2014, Placentia was assigned a RHNA allocation of 98 units, of which 38 units were in the Extremely Low, Very Low, and Low Income categories. Collectively, these three income categories are referred to as "low income." The City's total remaining RHNA by income level is 223, which are largely assigned to the "Moderate, Low, Very Low and Extremely Low Income" categories.
Under state law, a density of 30 units/acre is considered necessary to facilitate low income housing. Because the City did not have adequate sites with zoning that allowed this density in the prior planning period, those 38 lower-income units must be carried over and accommodated in the new planning period. Therefore, the City's obligation for the 2013-2021 planning period is to provide sites with appropriate zoning to accommodate at least 231 lower-income units at a density of 30 units/acre or more. This requirement was satisfied within the newly adopted Old Town Placentia Revitalization Plan near the proposed Metrolink station, as described in Program 1.8 on page 4-4 of the Housing Element for the 2013-2021 planning period. In addition, the City will be

examining the City -owned Tots at Baker Street for workforce housing and Staff will be working with the Council Housing, Community and Economic Development Ad -Hoc Committee in soliciting Request for Proposals from qualified developers to build a high-quality workforce housing development in this area.
Regarding affordable housing production during the planning period, the City worked with the County of Orange, and in partnership with Mercy Housing California in 2018, to begin construction of a 49 -unit affordable housing development for homeless and/or disabled Veterans (with an additional manager's unit) partially located on a property owned by Orange County Flood Control, leased to Mercy Housing and located within the City. This development, known as Placentia Veterans Village, was completed in 2020. As a result, the City total RHNA allocation for this development is 49 "Very Low" affordable housing units for this development for the 2013-2021 planning period as directed by Tom Brinkhuis from the State Department of Housing and Community Development, plus one "Above Moderate" unit for the on-site caretaker/manager's unit. This was reflected in the 2018 Housing Element Annual Progress Report and is still indicated in Table B of Attachment 1 under 2018.
However, to compensate for the County -approved funding utilized for Mercy Housing in the amount of $2,754,000, the City Council discussed its intent to absorb a number of agreed upon RHNA units from the County's RHNA unit allocation based upon the successful development of Placentia Veterans Village. On June 22, 2021, the Board approved the Memorandum of Understanding (MOA) between the County and City regarding allocations for future housing element planning periods to provide for the transfer of RHNA allocation shares between the County and City. After the MOA was approved by the Board of Supervisors, SCAG also approved the RHNA transfer which will reduce the County's RHNA allocation of very low-income units by 12 units and increase the City's RHNA share of very -low income units by 12 units. Additionally, the County's RHNA allocation of moderate -income units would be reduced by 12 units and the City's RHNA share of the moderate -income units would increase proportionally by 12 units in accordance with state law. These adjustments will be reflected in the RHNA for the 2021-2029 planning period.
Regarding additional affordable housing approved during the 2013-2021 planning period, on December 1, 2020, the City of Placentia City Council voted to approve a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change, including associated development permits, that approved the construction of 64 affordable senior housing units and one (1) manager's unit on property owned and operated by the Church of the Blessed Sacrament located at 1314 N. Angelina Avenue. In partnership with the church, the National Community Renaissance of California (National CORE) will develop and operate the senior housing development. National CORE will also facilitate the transformation of the existing church campus with two (2) two-story residential buildings that will provide age - restricted rental housing for individuals 62 years of age or older. The 64 units will be restricted to households earning less than 60% of the area median income for Orange County based upon the latest State income limits established by the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development. This development is currently in Building plan check.
In addition to the aforementioned residential developments, in 2021, the City entitled several developments. Of note, USA Properties was approved to construct 189 housing units, 187 will be

income restricted affordable workforce housing units, and two will be manager units. The affordability mix of the units will be between 30% AMI (Area Median Income) and 80%. Also in 2021, Toffoli Investments was approved to construct 139 for -sale residential townhomes.
Regarding significant developments obtaining building permits in 2021, JPI was issued building permits for 418 residential apartment units, which are currently under construction. All of the aforementioned developments are reflected in the attached spreadsheet which will be sent to the State subsequent to City Council taking action on this item.

Completed. Staff reviewed the use of manufactured housing and is encouraging manufactured housing use through contacting distributors for information.
Ongoing. This remains a high priority of the City as the construction of the Placentia Metrolink Station is scheduled to start late 2019. The City Council approved and adopted the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Packing House District near the future Metrolink Station on April 18, 2017 which allows densities up to 95 du/acre. To date, 633 units have been entitled in the TOD District. On July 18, 2017, the Old Town Zoning District was adopted (Ordinance No. 0-2017- 05) by City Council and the Development Standards include a sub -area allowing high density housing by right without a public hearing, at a density up to 65 dwelling units per acre. Both the TOD and Old Town Zoning Districts are immediately adjacent to the Placentia Metrolink Station.
Ongoing. The City is continually reviewing grant funding opportunities for housing developments and is actively pursuing County and State funds, including transportation circulation grants provided by the State Department of Transportation and SCAG. In partnership with SCAG, the City Council recently approved formation of an EIFD in the Old Town Zoning District that will result in $8.2 million in funding for infrastructure related to transit oriented development.
The City successfully applied for and received SB2 and LEAP Grant funding.

Ongoing. The City annually reviews development costs and opportunities for removing constraints due to the high cost of infrastructure improvements. The City is near built -out with infrastructure mostly in place. Infrastructure near proposed Metrolink Station is a strong candidate for competitive grant funding.
The City is continually reviewing grant funding opportunities for housing developments and is actively pursuing County and State funds, including transportation circulation grants provided by the State Department of Transportation and SCAG. In partnership with SCAG, the City Council recently approved formation of an EIFD in the Old Town Zoning District that will result in $8.2 million in funding for infrastructure related to transit oriented development.
Completed/Ongoing. The City annually reviews its development processing procedures and has adopted several streamlined procedures in the last three years. Ordinance No. 0-2017-05 adopted by City Council in July 2017 codifies Old Town Development Standards including a sub -area allowing high density housing by right without a public hearing, reducing development processing timeframes, allowing housing at a density up to 65 dwelling units per acre.
Ongoing. The City provides the inventory of vacant and underutilized land upon request and routinely discusses these parcels with developers. In FY 17-18, the City has budgeted consulting services with an private economic development firm to assist with identifying up-to-date inventory of vacant and underutilized land.
The City is in the process of selling these vacant lands to qualified developers.
Completed. Ordinance No. 0-2017-05 adopted by the City Council in July 2017 codifies the Old Town District Development Standards which includes a sub -area allowing high density residential housing by right without a discretionary review nor public hearing, at a density up to 65 dwelling units per acre for an area exceeding 1.27 acres. The maximum density for this sub -area is up to 65 dwelling units/acre.
Ongoing. Forms have been developed to gain the information at the time a building permit is issued.

Completed/Ongoing. The City has not implemented an incentive program at this time, however the issuance of permits for 49 very low income units in 2018 (the Veteran's Village development) contributes to this as qualified residents must be Veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and the development will provide "wrap around" services to provide vocational training, mental health services, job placement, and more. The City has also identified potential parcels for additional special needs housing.
Eliminated by the Governor and State Legislature. The elimination of redevelopment funds severely restricts our ability to create affordable housing.

Partially completed. The City will review and propose amendments to its city-wide residential parking requirements during the forthcoming General Plan and Zoning Code updates. The City has already adopted significantly reduced parking requirements for the newly adopted Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Zone and Old Town District Zone, both of which were adopted in 2017.
Completed and Ongoing. The City will address potential regulatory incentives through the General Plan, Zoning Code, and newly adopted Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Zone and Old Town Zone, both of which were adopted in 2017 and both of which encourage lot consolidation. To date, 633 units have been entitled in the TOD District. One development consists of two lots being consolidated to accommodate the new TOD development and the other consists of seven lots consolidated to accommodate the new TOD development.
Ongoing. The City continues to support the Fair Housing Council of Orange County and to refer members of our community to the Council for counseling, mediation and low-cost advocacy for housing related needs.

AGENDA REPORT
SUBJECT: CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. GPA 2021-02, 2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE (Previously Incorrectly Referred to As GPA 2021-01)
FISCAL
IMPACT: None
SUMMARY:
The City of Placentia General Plan was comprehensively updated in October 2019, with the exception of the Housing Element which was adopted in 2014. State planning law mandates that jurisdictions review and update their Housing Elements every eight (8) years in order to remain relevant and useful, and to reflect the community's changing housing needs via their Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA). The 2021-2029 Housing Element will be the "Sixth Cycle" Housing Element. The Fifth Cycle Housing Element covers the planning period from October 2013 to October 2021, and the Sixth Cycle Housing Element will cover the planning period from October 2021 to October 2029. On October 19, 2021, the City Council reviewed the draft Housing Element for the Sixth Cycle and directed Staff to transmit the draft Element to the State for review. Staff has obtained comments from the State, and on January 18, 2022, this item was heard by City Council at a noticed Public Hearing. Council provided direction to Staff regarding strategies for creating additional housing capacity to accommodate the RHNA over the next eight (8) years. On January 18, 2022, the City Council continued the public hearing until March 15, 2022, and at this time, the revised draft Housing Element will be considered for adoption.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions:
1. Reopen the continued public hearing concerning General Plan Amendment No. GPA 2021- 02; and
2. Receive the staff report and Staff presentation, and consider all public testimony and Planning Commission recommendations; and
3. Adopt Resolution R-2022-16, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Placentia, California, finding that adoption of the Housing Element update is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Section 15061(b)(3) and

approving and adopting General Plan Amendment No. GPA 2021-02 (2021-2029 General Plan Housing Element Update.
BACKGROUND:
Every eight (8) years, each city within the Southern California Association of Governments ("SCAG") region is required to prepare an update to the Housing Element of the City's General Plan. The current update is referred to as the "sixth planning cycle" which spans the 2021-2029 period. The City commenced the sixth cycle Housing Element update effort last year, and the following public meetings have been conducted to review Housing Element requirements and issues in Placentia:
• June 8, 2021
• August 24, 2021
• September 14, 2021
• September 16, 2021
• September 21, 2021

An important difference between the Housing Element and other elements of the General Plan is the extent of State oversight. Under California law, land use and development is generally within the authority of cities through the adoption of policies and regulations in General Plans and municipal codes. However, State law establishes many specific limitations and requirements upon city land use authority with regard to housing.
The State legislature has also declared an adequate supply of housing to be a matter of statewide importance and has delegated authority to the California Department of Housing and Community Development ("HCD") to review local government Housing Elements and issue opinions regarding their compliance with State law. Cities must submit Housing Elements to HCD for review both prior to and after final adoption by the City Council. A finding of Housing Element compliance by HCD is referred to as "certification" of the Housing Element. Certification is important to enhance cities' eligibility for grant funds and also to support local land use authority. Recent amendments to State law allow HCD and the California Attorney General to file litigation against cities upon the grounds of Housing Element non-compliance, and courts are also authorized to impose fines upon non-compliant cities and order land use changes or limit the issuance of building permits.
On October 21, 2021 the City's draft Housing Element was submitted to HCD for review, and on December 20, 2021 HCD issued its review letter (Attachment 3) finding that the draft element addresses many statutory requirements; however, revisions will be necessary to comply with State Housing Element Law.
City Council Agenda
March 15, 2022
In January 2022 the Planning Commission and City Council conducted public hearings to review HCD's comments, receive public testimony, and discuss potential strategies to address HCD's comments. The focus of those meetings was identifying appropriate land use strategies for creating additional capacity for housing development to accommodate the City's assigned share of regional housing need. Since then, Staff have prepared a revised draft Housing Element (Attachment 2) incorporating Planning Commission comments and City Council direction.
The purpose of this public hearing is to provide the City Council and community stakeholders an opportunity to review the revised draft Housing Element and identify any further revisions to address HCD's comments. Additional background information and the staff reports for previous meetings are posted on the City's Housing Element website at: httos://placentia.org/943/2021- 2029-Housing-Element-Update.
HCD COMMENTS AND PROPOSED RESPONSES
All cities are receiving lengthy Housing Element comment letters from HCD, reflecting the high level of State concern related to the "housing crisis." At this time, only six (6) of the 197 jurisdictions in the SCAG region (3%) have received State Housing Element certification. No Orange County jurisdiction currently has a certified Housing Element.
The revised draft Housing Element shows changes to the draft that was submitted to HCD in s eout/underline format. In addition, a summary of HCD comments and the proposed revisions to the Housing Element addressing those comments is provided in Attachment 4.
Many of HCD's comments required only clerical or technical revisions to the data and analysis in the Housing Element, while other comments involve more substantive policy issues. A new appendix has been added with extensive analysis of fair housing issues (Appendix D). Some of the most significant comments from HCD also involve how the City will accommodate future housing needs as assigned through the RHNA process. Because of the exceptionally high RHNA allocations in this Housing Element cycle, many Orange County cities including Placentia do not currently have sufficient land zoned for housing to fully accommodate the RHNA. As noted in previous meetings, Placentia's sixth cycle RHNA allocation is 4,398 units compared to 492 units in the prior cycle. Under State law, if a city's land use plans and zoning do not demonstrate adequate capacity to accommodate the RHNA, zoning must be amended to create additional capacity.
LAND USE POLICY OPTIONS
The revised draft Housing Element (see Table B-1, below) estimates that there is currently a shortfall of approximately 1,137 potential housing units as compared to the RHNA based upon current zoning. The Housing Element must identify land use strategies and potential sites that could be rezoned to bridge this shortfall.

A key policy question considered by the Planning Commission and City Council at previous meetings was the most appropriate land use strategies for increasing potential housing capacity.
Based upon that discussion, the draft Housing Element has been revised to include the following rezoning strategies:
Strategy Description
1. TOD Zone The TOD zoning district currently allows up to 95 units/acre in some subareas.
Expansion This strategy would expand the boundaries of the TOD district.
2. Increase R-3 The current R-3 maximum density is 25 units/acre. Under State law, a density density of 30 units/acre is considered sufficient to accommodate lower-income housing. Increasing the allowable density from 25 to at least 30 units/acre would accomplish 2 things: 1) create additional housing capacity; and 2) allow R3 properties to accommodate lower-income housing for RHNA purposes.
In addition to identifying areas where additional housing could be accommodated through rezoning, State law requires the rezoning of those properties by October 15, 2022. General Plan and zoning amendments to implement the Transit Oriented Development District ("TOD") expansion and the increased allowable R-3 density are relatively straightforward and Staff believes they can be completed by October. However, another zoning strategy discussed at previous meetings regarding the Chapman Avenue corridor would be much more complex and involve different standards and regulations for different areas within the corridor (e.g., allowable uses, densities, height limits, design criteria). Preparation of a specific plan or similar zoning document and CEQA analysis for this kind of project typically requires more than a year.
Therefore, Staff recommends that the Housing Element rezoning commitments focus upon the TOD area and R-3 district at this time. Concurrent with HCD review of the revised Housing Element, Staff will commence the preliminary planning studies needed to prepare a new specific plan for the Chapman Avenue corridor.
In addition to these land use amendments, the following Zoning Code amendments are necessary to address HCD comments and comply with changes in State law:
Emeraencv Shelters: Program 1.4 has been revised to include an amendment to emergency shelter parking requirements consistent with AB 139 (Government Code sec 65583(a)(4)(A)).
Employee housing: Program 1.4 has been revised to include a Code amendment consistent with current law regarding agricultural employee housing.
City Council Agenda
March 15, 2022
Permanent supportive housing: Program 1.4 has been revised to demonstrate consistency with Government Code section 65651 regarding supportive housing.
Off-street narking: Program 1.17 has been revised to include a Code amendment to reduce required parking for studio and 1 -bedroom units in the R-3 district to 1 space in either a garage or a carport.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
On March 8, 2022, the Planning Commission conducted a continued public hearing concerning General Plan Amendment No. GPA 2021-02. The Planning Commission concluded the public hearing and adopted Resolution PC 2022-02 recommending that City Council find that adoption of the Housing Element update is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Section 15061(b)(3) and recommending that City Council approve the 2021- 2029 Housing Element.
CEQA COMPLIANCE:
Adoption of the Housing Element update would not approve any development project, zoning amendment, or any other physical change to the environment; therefore, it is covered by the "common sense" exemption (CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15061(b)(3)) which provides that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect upon the environment. Subsequent to adoption of the Housing Element, amendments to the Zoning Ordinance will be necessary in order to implement Housing Element programs, and appropriate CEQA analysis will be prepared in connection with those amendments.
NEXT STEPS:
If the draft Housing Element is approved by City Council, the adopted Housing Element must be submitted to HCD for review. Zoning amendments to implement Housing Element programs will be subject to additional public review, CEQA analysis, and public hearings conducted by the Planning Commission and City Council. No land use or zoning amendments would be approved by the adoption of the Housing Element.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Chapter 1: Introduction
This Housing Element provides the identification and analysis of existing and projected housing needs and articulates the City's official policies for the preservation, conservation, improvement, and production of housing within the City of Placentia for the 2021-2029 planning period.
1.1 Purpose and Content
The City of Placentia's Housing Element addresses adequate housing opportunities for present and future residents through 2029 and provides the primary policy guidance for local decision-making related to housing.
California Government Code §65583 requires a jurisdiction's Housing Element include the following components:
• A review of the previous Element's goals, policies, objectives and programs to ascertain the effectiveness of each of these components, as well as the overall effectiveness of the Housing Element;
• An assessment of housing need and an inventory of resources and constraints related to meeting these needs;
• A statement of goals, policies and quantified objectives related to the maintenance, preservation, improvement and development of housing; and • A policy program that provides a schedule of actions that the City is undertaking or intends to undertake implementing the policies set forth in the Housing Element.
1.2 Housing Element Update Process
The California State Legislature has identified the attainment of a decent home and suitable living environment for every Californian as the state's main housing goal.
Recognizing the important part that local planning programs play in pursuit of this goal, the Legislature has mandated that all cities and counties prepare a Housing Element as part of their comprehensive General Plans (California Government Code §65302(c)).
This Housing Element update covers the planning period from October 2021 to October 2029. State planning law mandates that jurisdictions review and update their Housing Elements every 8 years in order to remain relevant and useful and reflect the community's changing housing needs.

1.3 State Law and Local Planning
Consistency with State Law
The Housing Element is one of the seven General Plan elements required by the State of California, as articulated in §65580 to §65589.8 of the California Government Code.
It is the only General Plan Element that requires review by the State of California. State law requires that each jurisdiction's Housing Element consist of "an identification and analysis of existing and projected housing needs and a statement of goals, policies, quantified objectives, and scheduled program actions for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing." The Housing Element plans for the provision of housing for all segments of the population.
Section 65583 of the Government Code sets forth specific requirements regarding the scope and content of each Housing Element. Table 1-1 summarizes these requirements and identifies the applicable sections in the Housing Element where these requirements are addressed.

General Plan Consistency
The California Government Code requires internal consistency among the various elements of a General Plan. Section 65300.5 of the Government Code states that the General Plan's various Elements shall provide an integrated and internally consistent and compatible statement of policy. The City has reviewed the other elements of the General Plan and has determined that this Housing Element provides consistency with the other Elements of the General Plan. The City will maintain this consistency as future General Plan amendments are processed by evaluating proposed amendments for consistency with all elements of the General Plan.
Relationship to Other Plans and Programs
The Housing Element identifies goals, objectives, policies, and action programs for the next eight years that directly address the housing needs of Placentia. Other City plans and programs that work to implement the goals and policies of the Housing Element include the City's Municipal Code, Specific Plans, Capital Improvement Program and the annual budget process.
1.4 Housing Element Organization
The Housing Element is organized into four sections:
• Chapter 1: Introduction describes the purpose, organization and requirements of the Housing Element;
• Chapter 2: Housing Profile analyzes the demographic, economic and housing trends in Placentia and describes the housing needs of the city; • Chapter 3: Resources and Constraints Analysis analyzes the governmental and non-governmental constraints to and resources for housing; and, Revised Draft

1.5 Citizen Participation
This Housing Element was developed through the combined efforts of City staff, the Planning Commission, the City Council, and the City's residents and stakeholders.
Citizen input was received through website postings, public workshops and public hearings conducted by City staff, the Planning Commission and City Council. The notices for these workshops and hearings were sent directly to a list of interested parties, published in a local newspaper, on the City's website and prominently posted at City Hall and other public facilities. Throughout the process, organizations that represent the interests of lower-income and special needs households, or are otherwise involved in the development of housing, were invited to participate in the preparation and review of the Housing Element. The list of stakeholders who were invited to participate in the Housing Element update process is provided in Appendix Revised Draft
A.
Comments received through the City's outreach activities have been considered in the development of the Housing Policy Program provided in Chapter 4 of this Housing Element. Additional information regarding the public participation process is provided in Appendix A.

Chapter 2: Housing Needs Assessment
Chapter 2: Housing Needs Assessment
2.1 Introduction
When preparing the Housing Element, jurisdictions must evaluate existing and future housing needs for all income groups.
This section analyzes demographic and housing characteristics that influence the demand for and availability of housing. The analyses form a foundation for establishing programs and policies that seek to address identified housing needs. Housing needs are identified according to income, tenure, and special needs groups. Finally, the City's projected housing growth needs based on the 2021-2029 Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) are examined.
Primary data sources include the U.S. Census, the California Department of Finance, the Southern California Association of Governments, and other relevant data sources.
These data sources are the most reliable for assessing existing conditions and provide a basis for comparison with historical trends.
It is important to note that different data may appear inconsistent for a variety of reasons. Some data reflect a "snapshot in time" while other such as Census American Community Survey ("ACS") estimates are based ori a sample survey conducted over a period of several years. Also, many data sources are based on self -reporting, which can lead to variations. Because of these factors, statistics reported in this chapter should be viewed as estimates rather than precise counts.
2.2 Community Profile
Population Trends and Characteristics
Housing needs are generally influenced by population and employment trends. This section provides a summary of population characteristics in Placentia.

Household Characteristics
Revised Draft
This section describes Placentia's household characteristics, which are important indicators of the type and size of housing needed in the city. The U.S. Census Bureau defines a "household" as all persons living in a single housing unit, whether or not they are related. One person living alone is considered a household, as is a group of unrelated people living in a single housing unit. Persons in group quarters, such as dormitories, retirement or convalescent homes, or other group living situations are included in population totals but are not considered households. The U.S. Census Bureau defines a family as "a group of two people or more (one of whom is the householder) related by birth, marriage, or adoption and residing together; all such people (including related subfamily members) are considered as members of one family."

Overcrowding is defined as households having more than one person per room, excluding bathrooms and kitchens, with severe overcrowding when there are more than 1.5 occupants per room. Overcrowding can affect the health and well-being of residents, reduce the quality of the physical environment and contribute to physical deterioration of housing units.
Figure 2-6 summarizes recent Census estimates of overcrowding in Placentia compared to the SCAG region as a whole. In Placentia, 266 owner -occupied and 855 renter -occupied households had more than 1.0 occupants per room, while 90 owner - occupied households and 289 renter -occupied households had more than 1.5 occupants per room.
The problems of overcrowding are addressed in the Housing_ Platt through efforts to facilitate production and preservation of affordable housing (see Program 1.3: Pursue County.

Housing cost burden, or overpayment, is most commonly measured as the percentage of gross income spent on housing, with 30% a usual threshold for 'cost burden' and 50% the threshold for "severe cost burden." However, a lower-income household spending the same percent of income on housing as a higher -income household will likely experience more true "cost burden." Figure 2-7 shows HUD estimates of the number of households in Placentia by tenure, their income category and their share of income spent on housing. This data shows that households in the lower income categories„onecially renters, typically spend a higher portion of their incomes for housing.
The problems of overpayment are addressed in the Housing Plan through efforts to facilitate production and preservation of affordable housing fsee Program 1.3: Pursue County. State, and Federal Housing Funds, Program 1.8: Adequate Sites for Housing Development. Program 1.10: Encourage Development of Housing for Extremely -Low- income Households.

Extremely -Low -Income Households
Extremely -low-income (ELI) households are defined as households with incomes less than 30 percent of median family income (MFI). State law requires quantification and analysis of existing and projected housing needs of ELI households. As noted in Figure 2-7 above, recent Census data estimated that approximately 1,965 Placentia households were within the ELI category. As noted in Figure 2-8 below, approximately 19 percent of renters were ELI and about 8 percent of owners were ELI. The race/ethnicity with the highest share of extremely -low-income households in Placentia is Hispanic (19.7% compared to 12.1% of total population). ELI households often have other housing problems such as overcrowding due to insufficient incomes to afford large enough dwellings. As seen in Figure 2-7.845 ELI renter households and 605 ELI owner households were flavine more than 30% of income for housing. In addition. 785_ ELI renter households and 400 ELI owner households were paving over 50% of income for housing,

Housing Age and Conditions
The age of a housing unit is often an indicator of housing conditions. Housing units without proper maintenance can deteriorate over time. Housing units built before 1970 are the most likely to need rehabilitation and to have lead-based paint in deteriorated condition. Lead-based paint becomes hazardous to children under age six and to pregnant women when it peels off walls or is pulverized by windows and doors opening and closing.
Housing over 50 years old is considered aged and is more likely to exhibit a need for major repairs. Additionally, older units may not be built to current building standards for fire and earthquake safety.

Chapter 2: Housing Needs Assessment
The age of housing units in Placentia compared to the SCAG region as a whole is shown in Figure 2-12. Nearly two-thirds of Placentia's housing units were constructed prior to 1980 and are now more than 40 years old. These findings suggest that there may be a substantial need for maintenance and rehabilitation, including remediation of lead- based paint. Based upon field observatiqns ofThe City building inspectors and code enforcement staff. it is estimateds there are more than 200 substandard housing units currently in the City, which are primarily concentrated in the La Jolla and Santa Fe areas. Less than 5% of those (10 units) may have structural problems that are not feasible to retain and therefore are in neeri of total replacement. Housing programs to assist lower-income households with needed repairs are described in Chapter 4.

Housing Costs and Affordability
This section evaluates housing cost and affordability in Placentia.
1. Housing Affordability Criteria
State law establishes five income categories for purposes of housing programs based on the area (i.e., county) median income (AMI): extremely -low (30% or less of AMI), very -low (31%-50% of AMI), low (51%-80% of AMI), moderate (81-120% of AMI) and above moderate (over 120% of AMI). Housing affordability is based on the relationship between household income and housing expenses. According to HUD and the California Department of Housing and Community Development', housing is considered "affordable" if the monthly payment is no more than 30% of a household's gross income. In some areas, such as Orange County, these income limits may be increased to adjust for high housing costs.
Table 2-1 shows affordable rent levels and estimated affordable purchase prices for housing in all areas of Orange County2 by income category. Based on State standards, 1 HCD memo of 2/1/2012 ( http://www.hcd.ca.gov/hpd/hrc/rep/state/incNote.html) 2 Affordable rent and purchase prices are based on county median income.
Revised Draft

the maximum affordable monthly rent (including utilities) for extremely -low-income households is $1,009, while the maximum affordable rent for very -low-income households is $1,681. The maximum affordable rent for low-income households is $2,689, while the maximum for moderate -income households is $3,201.
Maximum purchase prices are more difficult to determine due to variations in factors such as mortgage interest rates, qualifying procedures, down payments, special tax assessments, homeowner association fees, and property insurance rates. With this caveat, the maximum home purchase prices by income category shown in Table 2-1 have been estimated based on typical conditions.

Special Needs Groups
Certain segments of the population may have more difficulty in finding affordable and suitable housing due to special needs. This section identifies the needs for elderly persons, large households, female -headed households, persons with disabilities, persons who are homeless, and farmworkers.
Elderly Persons
Elderly persons are considered a special needs group because they are more likely to have fixed incomes and often have special needs related to housing location and construction. Because of limited mobility, elderly persons may need convenient access to services (e.g., medical and shopping) and public transit. Federal housing data define a household type as 'elderly family' if it consists of two persons with either or both age 62 or over. Recent Census estimates (Figure 2-17) reported that about 19% of elderly households in Placentia have incomes less than 30% of median, (compared to 24% in the SCAG region as a whole), while about 36% of Placentia's senior households earn less than 50% of the median income (compared to 31% in the region).
While sornjijm s viewed as a homogeneous group, seniors have a wide variety of circumstances ansa eeds. For example. senior homeoffners often have more financial resources and stable housing expenses than renters. Younger seniors under age 75 generally have fewer disability issues than those who are older and may renuire residential care or supportive housing options, As homeowners age. many may have difficulty maintaining their homes.
As shown in Figure 2-21, among seniors 65 and older the most common disability was ambulatory. experienced by about 18% of Placentia's seniors (and 23% of seniors in the entire SCAG region'- The installation of grab bars and other features may he. necessary to address mobility issues.

The California Community Care Licensing Division identifies 48 licensed residential care homes for the elderly with a total of 940 beds in Placentia. Most of these are small facilities for un to 6 Persons. although there are five larger facilities.
As discussed in Chapter 3. City regulations encourage a range of housing options to address the djverse needs of the growing senior population. including, the residential care facilities. supportive housing, accessory dwelling units and reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities. Program 1.12 in the Housing Plan also, includes efforts to encourage develonmenl of additional senior housing-.

Large Households
Large households are defined as having five or more persons living within the same housing unit. Large households are considered a special needs group because they require more space and more bedrooms. Large households are vulnerable to overcrowding, particularly among renters. due to the relatively small percentage of apartments with 3 or more bedrooms. As noted ureviotay in the analysis of household size (Figure 2 5) - - • • . ., about 1.04618% of renter households f 18%) and 1.40513% of owner households (13%) in Placentia had at least five persons - a total rff 2.451 households. According to recent Census estimates there are approximately 11.000 housing units with 3+ bedrooms (65%1 and of those. about
5.957 f35a41 had at least 4 bedrooms). in terms of the total housing stock. there appears to be a sufficient number of larger homes to meet the needs of large households. but many of those households may not have sufficient financial resources
1.o afford a large enough home to avoid overcrowding. The needs of large households are addressed through City efforts (see p!'rogram 1,13 in the Housing Plants to facilitate production of housing with 3 or more bedrooms as well as through State and Federal programs such as Section 8 and affordable housing subsidies such as Low Income flouring Tax Credits.
Female -Headed Households
Female -headed households are a special needs group due to comparatively low rates of homeownership, lower incomes, and higher poverty rates experienced by this group.
According to recent Census data (Figure 2-18), 12.6% of Placentia households are Revised Draft

Approximately 5% of Placentia's households are experiencing poverty, compared to 8% in the SCAG region as a whole. Poverty thresholds vary by household type. In 2018, a single individual under 65 was considered in poverty with an income below $13,064/year while the threshold for a family consisting of 2 adults and 2 children was $25,465/year. Figure 2-19 shows recent estimates of poverty status for female -headed households in Placentia.

with physical. mental. or emotional disabilities. Access and affordability are the two major housing needs for persons with disabilities. This often requires specially designed dwelling units typically not found in market -rate housing. or supportive housing that also provides personal services and assistance with daily activities.
Additionally, locating near public facilities and public transit is important for this special needs group.
According to recent ACS estimates (Figure 2-20), the most commonly occurring disabilities for Placentia residents are ambulatory and independent living. Among seniors 65 and older the most common disability was ambulatory, experienced by about 18% of Placentia's seniors (and 23% of seniors in the entire SCAG region).
To assist persons with disabilities the City has adonted reasonable accommodation, procedures to allow modifications tcl regulations to accommodate the needs of persons with disabilities fsee Program 2.3 in the Housing Planl. The City also continues IQ expand accessible housing options to persons living with disabilities by including accessibility features in new developments, and Program 1.4 includes amendments to City regulations for supportive housing.

• Is attributable to a mental or physical impairment or combination of mental and physical impairments;
• Is manifested before the individual attains age 22;
• Is likely to continue indefinitely;
• Results in substantial functional limitations in three or more of the following areas of major life activity: a) self-care; b) receptive and expressive language; c) learning; d) mobility; e) self-direction; f) capacity for independent living; or g) economic self-sufficiency;
• Reflects the individual's need for a combination and sequence of special, interdisciplinary, or generic services, individualized supports, or other forms of assistance that are of lifelong or extended duration and are individually planned and coordinated.
The Census does not record developmental disabilities. According to the U.S.
Administration on Developmental Disabilities, an accepted estimate of the percentage of the population that can be defined as developmentally disabled is 1.5 percent. Many developmentally disabled persons can live and work independently within a conventional housing environment. More severely disabled individuals require a group living environment where supervision is provided. The most severely affected individuals may require an institutional environment where medical attention and physical therapy are provided. Because developmental disabilities exist before adulthood, the first issue in supportive housing for the developmentally disabled is the transition from the person's living situation as a child to an appropriate level of independence as an adult.

Chapter 2: Housing Needs Assessment
The California Department of Developmental Services (DDS) currently provides community-based services to persons with developmental disabilities and their families through a statewide system of 21 regional centers, four developmental centers, and two community-based facilities. The Regional Center of Orange County (RCOC) is one of 21 regional centers in the State of California that provides point of entry to services for people with developmental disabilities. The RCOC is a private, non- profit community agency that contracts with local businesses to offer a wide range of services to individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.
Any resident of Orange County who has a developmental disability that originated before age 18 is eligible for services. Services are offered to people with developmental disabilities based on Individual Program Plans and may include: Adult day programs; advocacy; assessment/consultation; behavior management programs; diagnosis and evaluation; independent living services; infant development programs; information and referrals; mobility training; prenatal diagnosis; residential care; respite care; physical and occupational therapy; transportation; consumer, family vendor training; and vocational training. RCOC also coordinates the state -mandated Early Start program, which provides services for children under age three who have or are at substantial risk of having a developmental disability. Figure 2-22 shows recent DDS data for persons with developmental disabilities in Placentia.

Chapter 2: Housing Needs Assessment
Homeless Population and Transitional Housing
The Orange County homeless population includes many working families and individuals who live in cars, parks, under bridges, in motels and in homeless shelters trying to maintain their dignity while they struggle to survive. As a result, most homeless remain hidden. The most recent available Orange County Point -in -Time Count and Survey report of the Homeless (2019) reported 55 unsheltered and 108 sheltered homeless persons in Placentia.
Regional strategies to combat homelessness are developed through Orange County's Continuum of Care System. The goal of the Continuum of Care Strategic Plan is to work toward a seamless system of care through advocacy, homeless prevention, outreach and assessment, emergency shelter, transitional shelter and permanent affordable housing.
Revised Draft
Persons threatened with homelessness are often those with incomes at 30% of area median income or below who are paying more than 30% of their income for rent.
The nonprofit 2-1-1 Orange County organization is a 24 -hours -a -day, 7 days -a -week, toll-free number that people in need of assistance can call to obtain comprehensive information and referrals to health and human services. Available services include food, shelter, government assistance programs, urgent care, substance abuse and treatment programs, and workforce development.
In early 2019 the North Orange County Service Planning Area for Homelessness Outreach Efforts had reached an important milestone. A regional partnership of 13 cities located in northern Orange County (Anaheim, Brea, Buena Park, Cypress, Fullerton, La Habra, La Palma, Los Alamitos, Orange, Placentia, Stanton, Villa Park and Yorba Linda) came together to share intelligence and resources to address regional homelessness. Their concept was to promote greater regional coordination on homeless issues while reducing the span of control regarding working with the County of Orange and others.
After months of extensive discussions, negotiations and assessments, two locations within the North Orange County Service Planning Area were identified for the development of "navigation centers" based on a number of factors including zoning, proximity to related services and site availability. The navigation centers are a multi - jurisdictional approach to guiding underserved residents back into society by increasing access to a shelter with basic needs, health and job resources, and opportunities to reunite with friends and family. Each center was planned to accommodate 100 beds, thereby increasing the regional bed count to 525 additional beds available to homeless individuals in conjunction with a project in the city of Anaheim that accommodated 325 new beds.
Funding for the Navigation Centers was secured through application and governmental meetings with state, regional, county and local officials resulting in the $12 million in State of California Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP) funds dedicated for the site acquisitions and construction of these Navigation Centers. Each of the North Orange County Service Planning Area cities also committed funds for construction and 2-18 March 2022October 2021

ongoing operation of the Navigation Centers. A Memorandum of Understanding was prepared and presented to the City Councils of all thirteen city governments for execution in May 2019. Construction began in 2019 and the opening of the first 100 - bed Navigation Center in Placentia occurred on March 31, 2020. This groundbreaking success story was born of the regional need and public official desire to come together to address homelessness and pioneer the way to create and operate a multi - jurisdictional homelessness facility. Programs 1,4, 1.14 and 2.3 identify actions the City is taking to address homelessness.
Farm Workers
Farm workers are defined as persons whose primary incomes are earned through seasonal agricultural work. Recent Census data (Figure 2-23) estimated that there were approximately 136 total jobs in the farming, fishing and forestry occupations in Placentia and 80 full-time year-round jobs in those occupations.
According to SCAG's dataset. lust 0.2 percent of lobs in all of Orange County are in agriculture and the USDA estimates there were just 340 migrant farmworkers in the County in 2017. Given that Placentia has no remaining land in commercial agriculture, the City has not identified a need for farmworker housing beyond general programs to support ho using. affordabili y,

2.3 Assisted Units "At -Risk" of Conversion
Jurisdictions are required to analyze government -assisted low-income rental housing that is eligible to convert to market rate housing over the next 10 years. State law identifies housing assistance as a rental subsidy, mortgage subsidy, or mortgage insurance to an assisted housing development. Government assisted housing might convert to market rate housing for a number of reasons including expiring subsidies, mortgage repayments or expiration of affordability restrictions.

This section addresses:
• An inventory of assisted housing units that are at -risk of converting to market rate housing during 2021-2031;
• An analysis of the costs of preserving and/or replacing these units; • Resources that can be used to preserve at -risk units; ■ Program efforts for preservation of at -risk housing units; and ■ Quantified objectives for the number of at -risk units to be preserved during the Housing Element planning period
Inventory of At -Risk Units
Three projects with lower-income rental units are located in Placentia (Table 2-2).
According to the California Housing Partnership Corporation (CPHC), the Imperial Villas project could convert to market rate within the next 10 years and is therefore considered to be "at -risk." Program FEE 3.5 describes actions the City will take to encourage the preservation of this protect,

Source: California Housing Partnership Corporation, 2021 Preservation Versus Replacement
According to CPHC, preservation of existing affordable housing has significant advantages over new construction, including:
• It generally costs half as much and takes half the time than building it new. • On average it serves much lower income households than new construction. • New construction alone cannot produce enough affordable housing to meet demand in most markets in California.
Preservation Strategies
There are several options for preserving affordable units, including providing local subsidies to offset the difference between the affordable and market rent, acquisition/rehabilitation by a non-profit or public agency, or construction of new affordable housing to replace units lost.
Local Rental Subsidy. One strategy for preserving the units at -risk is to provide a local rental subsidy to residents if their affordable units convert to market rate. Assuming an average rent subsidy of $1,500 per month per unit, the total subsidy that would be needed to extend affordability for the 58 -unit Imperial Villas project would be approximately $1,044,000 per year.

Chapter 2: Housing Needs Assessment
Acquisition/Rehabilitation. Acquisition/rehabilitation costs - depends on size, location, current sales figures. Assuming an average cost of $350,000 per unit, acquisition/rehabilitation of 58 low-income units would cost approximately $20 million.
Replacement Through New Construction. Affordable units lost to conversion can be replaced through new construction. Construction cost would depend on many factors including site acquisition, site preparation, construction and a variety of "soft" costs such as architecture, permit processing, financing and administration. Based on an average cost of $500,000 per unit, the total cost of replacing 58 affordable units would be approximately $29 million.
Resources for Preservation
Revised Draft
A variety of programs exist to assist cities in acquiring, replacing or subsidizing at -risk affordable housing units. The following summarizes the available financial resources. • Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) - CDBG funds are awarded to entitlement communities (entitlement cities and urban counties) on a formula basis for housing activities. Placentia is a participating city in the County of Orange's Urban County. Funding is awarded on a competitive basis to each participating city. Activities eligible for CDBG funding include acquisition, rehabilitation, economic development, and public services. • HOME Investment Partnership - HOME funds are awarded on a formula basis for housing activities. The flexible grant program takes into account local market conditions, inadequate housing, poverty, and housing production costs. HOME funding is provided to jurisdictions to assist rental housing or homeownership through acquisition, construction, reconstruction, and/or rehabilitation of affordable housing. The County of Orange allocates funds to participating cities on a competitive basis.
• Section 8 Rental Assistance Program - The Section 8 Rental Assistance Program provides rental assistance payments to owners of private, market rate units on behalf of very -low income tenants. Rental assistance is provided through the Orange County Housing Authority.
• California Housing Finance Agency (Ca1HFA) Multifamily Programs- Ca1HFA's Multifamily Programs provide permanent financing for the acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation or new construction of rental housing that includes affordable rents for low and moderate -income families and individuals.
One of the programs is the Preservation Acquisition Finance Program which is designed to facilitate the acquisition of at -risk affordable housing developments provide low-cost funding to preserve affordability.
• Low -Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC)- This program provides tax credits to individuals and corporations that invest in low-income rental housing. Tax credits are sold to those with high liability and proceeds are used to create housing. Eligible activities include new construction, rehabilitation and acquisition of properties. 2-21 March 2022Octob r 2021

Chapter 2: Housing Needs Assessment
• California Community Reinvestment Corporation (CCRC)- The California Community Reinvestment Corporation is a multifamily affordable housing lender whose mission is to increase the availability of affordable housing for low-income families, seniors and residents with special needs by facilitating private capital flow from its investors for debt and equity to developers of affordable housing. Eligible activities include new construction, rehabilitation and acquisition of properties.
Qualified Entities to Develop or Operate Affordable Housing A number of non-profit corporations currently working in Orange County have the experience and capacity to assist in preserving at -risk units. These non -profits include:
• BRIDGE Housing Corporation (San Francisco)
• Civic Center Barrio Housing Corporation (Santa Ana)
• Jamboree Housing Corporation (Irvine)
• Mercy Housing Corporation (San Francisco)
Future Housing Needs
The Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) is a key requirement for local governments to plan for anticipated growth. The RHNA quantifies the anticipated need for housing within each jurisdiction for the 6th Housing Element projection period extending from July 2021 to October 2029. Communities then determine how they will address this need through the process of updating the Housing Elements of their General Plans.
The RHNA for the 6th cycle was adopted by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) in March 2021. The need for housing is determined by the forecasted growth in households as well as existing need due to overcrowding and overpayment. The housing need for new households is adjusted to maintain a desirable level of vacancy to promote housing choice and mobility. An adjustment is also made to account for units lost due to demolition, natural disaster, or conversion to non- housing uses. Total housing need is then distributed among four income categories on the basis of the county's income distribution, with adjustments to avoid an over - concentration of lower-income households in any community. More information about the RHNA process may be found on SCAG's website at httns://scae.ca.gov/rhna.
The total assigned housing need for the City of Placentia during the 2021-2029 planning period is 4,374 units, which is distributed by income category as shown in Table 2-3. Chapter 3 includes a discussion of how the City will accommodate this need for additional housing during the planning period.

3.1 Resources and Opportunities
A variety of resources are available for the development, rehabilitation, and preservation of housing in the City of Placentia. This chapter provides a description of the land resources to address the City's regional housing needs for the 2021-2029 planning period (see discussion of Future Housing Needs in Chapter 2), as well as financial and administrative resources available to support the provision of affordable housing. Additionally, this chapter discusses opportunities for energy conservation that can lower utility costs and increase housing affordability.
Land Resources
Section 65583(a)(3) of the Government Code requires Housing Elements to contain an "inventory of land suitable for residential development, including vacant sites and sites having potential for redevelopment, and an analysis of the relationship of zoning and public facilities and services to these sites." A detailed inventory of potential sites for residential development is provided in Appendix B. The results of this analysis are summarized in Table 3-1 below. The table shows that the City's land inventory for potential residential development is not currently sufficient to accommodate the RHNA in the low- and above -moderate income categories for this planning period. Program HE -1.8 in the Housing Plan (Chapter 4) describes the specific actions the City will take to address this requirement.

A discussion of public facilities and infrastructure needed to serve future development is contained in Section 3.3, Non -Governmental Constraints. There are currently no known service limitations that would preclude the level of development described in the RHNA, although developers will be required to pay fees or construct public improvements to serve new developments.

Community Development Block Grant and HOME Programs
Placentia participates in a consortium with the County of Orange and 12 other cities known as the Orange County Urban County Program. The Urban County consortium receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME funding on a formula basis from the.Federal government. Funds are distributed by the County of Orange to individual jurisdictions on a competitive basis. During the 2006/07 through 2010/11 Fiscal Years, the City received $150,000 annually in CDBG funds for housing rehabilitation but this amount declined to $135,000 per year in FY 2012/13 and 2013/14. This City also was awarded grants for public improvements for pedestrian accessibility, Edwin T. Powell Community Center, neighborhood facilities, streets and neighborhood parks. The City has not received HOME funds in recent years but will pursue them in the future when eligible projects are identified.
CDBG funds can be used for the following activities:
• Acquisition
• Rehabilitation
• Home Buyer Assistance
• Economic Development
• Homeless Assistance
• Public Services
• Public Improvements
• Rent Subsidies
HOME funds can be used for the following activities:
• New Construction
• Acquisition
• Rehabilitation
• Home Buyer Assistance
• Rental Assistance
Former Redevelopment Agency and the Successor Agency
As of February 1, 2012 the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) of the City of Placentia was dissolved by Governor Jerry Brown and the State Legislature. As part of the Dissolution Act, the City of Placentia designated itself as both the Successor Agency and successor housing agency to the former redevelopment agency to wind down its operations and continue local control over the former assets of the agency. The Successor Agency is able to pay for those items found to be enforceable obligations by the State Department of Finance until such time as the obligation ceases. The Successor Agency does not have any affordable housing obligations as all properties or loan receivables were transferred to the City as the housing successor agency.

Energy Conservation Opportunities
In order to reduce the consumption of water in a landscaped area the City of Placentia has adopted a xeriscape ordinance within the Zoning Code. Primary techniques to reduce water consumption are the use of water -conserving plants, minimizing the amount of grass area, grouping plants in accordance to their watering needs, and providing an irrigation system designed to meet the needs of the plants in the landscape. All new developments are required to submit plans that comply with the ordinance.
In 1982, the City adopted an ordinance that encourages the development of energy efficient residential dwellings in order to reduce the reliance of the City's residents in commercial energy sources.
Southern California Edison, which provides electricity service in Placentia, offers public information and technical assistance to developers and homeowners regarding energy conservation. Southern California Edison also provides incentives for energy-efficient new construction and home improvements. Owners of existing homes can receive monetary incentives for purchasing Energy -star appliances or making other energy- saving improvements such as installing a whole -house attic fan.
Another strategy for building energy-efficient homes is the U.S. Green Building Council's guidelines for LEED Certification. LEED-certified buildings demonstrate energy and water savings, reduced maintenance costs and improved occupant satisfaction. The LEED for New Construction program has been applied to numerous multi -family residential projects nationwide. The LEED for Homes pilot program was launched in 2005 and includes standards for new single-family and multi -family home construction.
The City Council has authorized participation in the Home Energy Renovation Program (HERO) as provided for through the Western Riverside Council of Governments. The HERO program is financed through property assessments where the improvements are made and is not a City program, but simply a means to provide property assessed financing to eligible property owners in the City for various energy and water conservation improvements.
3.2 Constraints
In planning for the provision of housing, constraints to the development, maintenance and improvement of housing must be recognized, and jurisdictions must take appropriate steps to mitigate them where feasible. Local government cannot control many of these constraints, such as those related to general economic and market conditions, and constraints imposed by other governmental entities. Potential governmental and non-governmental constraints along with City efforts to reduce these constraints are discussed below.

Chapter 3: Resources and Constraints
Governmental Constraints
Potential governmental constraints include policies, standards, requirements, and actions imposed by various levels of government on housing development. These constraints may include land use controls, building codes, growth management measures, development fees, processing and permit procedures, and site improvement standards. State and federal agencies may also play a role in the imposition of governmental constraints; however, these agencies are beyond the influence of local government and are therefore not addressed in this analysis.
Land Use Controls
Land use controls include General Plan policies, zoning regulations (and the resulting use restrictions, development standards and permit processing requirements) and development fees.
1. General Plan
Every city in California must have a General Plan, which establishes policy guidelines for all development within the city. The General Plan is the foundation of all land use controls in a jurisdiction. Placentia's General Plan was comprehensively updated in 2019. The Land Use Element of the General Plan identifies the location, distribution, and density of the land uses within the City.
General Plan residential densities are expressed in dwelling units per acre. The Placentia General Plan identifies three residential land use designations, a Planned Community designation and a Specific Plan designation. Table 3-2 summarizes the residential land use designations and their associated acreages and density ranges.

2. Zoning Code
The Zoning Code is the primary tool for implementing the Land Use Element of the General Plan. It is designed to protect and promote public health, safety, and welfare. Placentia's residential zoning designations control both the use and development standards of specific sites and influence the development of housing.
Table 3-3 summarizes the single-family residential zoning designations and their requirements. Table 3-4 summarizes the multi -family residential designations and requirements. Based on residential units approved and constructed complying with these standards, the City has determined the development standards do not unreasonably impact the cost and supply of housing nor the ability of projects to achieve maximum densities.
The Transit Oriented Development (TOD) zone was recently added to the land use categories and provides significant opportunities for high-density multi -family development.

Various development and permit fees are charged by the City and other agencies to cover administrative processing costs associated with development. These fees are necessary ensure quality that development complies with applicable regulations and that adequate services and infrastructure are available_ to serve the development. Often times, development fees are passed through to renters and homeowners in the price/rent of housing, thus affecting the affordability of housing however. the City only charges fees that are required to ensure compliance with laws and regulations and protect Public health and safety.
The City of Placentia charges the majority of environmental, planning and engineering fees on a fixed fee basis, with some fees deposit -based and ultimately charged on a time Revised Draft

An update to the fee study is_currently (20221 underway. The development fees are a result of actual costs of providing the services and are reviewed annually based on staffing resources and related expenditures to provide services. Table 3-9 summarizes the total typical development fees for single-family and multi -family developments, based on projects recently constructed in the City.
In addition to impact fees for schools, parks, libraries and wastewater, the City requires an affordable housing impact fee for developments of five or more units. The fee ranges from approximately $2,625 to $5,250 per market -rate unit depending on project size.

Environmental and Infrastructure Constraints
Environmental Constraints
Environmental hazards affecting housing units include geologic and seismic conditions, which provide the greatest threat to the built environment. While Tthe following hazards may impact future development of residential units in the city, they do not preclude de=velopment comm unsurate with the Citv's assigned share of regional housing needs.
Revised Draft
1. Seismic Hazards
Similar to most southern California cities, Placentia is located within an area considered to be seismically active. No faults have been identified within the City limits. There are six faults within close proximity to Placentia: Whittier -Elsinore, 3-35 March 20220ctober 2021
ATTACHMENT 2
Chapter 3: Resources and Constraints
Revised Draft
Norwalk, Newport -Inglewood, Sierra Madre, Palos Verdes and San Gabriel. The Whittier -Elsinore fault is located approximately 1,000 feet to the north of Placentia and is able to produce a seismic event of magnitude 6.0 or greater. The impact of earthquakes on Placentia depends on several factors: the particular fault, fault location, distance from the City, and magnitude of the earthquake. Some areas of the City may experience liquefaction and ground failure during extreme shaking.
As part of the City's development review process, future residential projects would be required to prepare geotechnical studies to abate and potential hazards.
2. Flooding
Portions of the City are located within 100 -year flood zones. Inundation is projected to be most significant in the southwest portion of Placentia. Flooding within Placentia as a result of a 100 -year flood would be expected to reach an average depth of only one foot and only at specific locations.
Prado Dam is a flood control and water conservation project constructed and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District. The dam is located approximately 11 miles east of Placentia, on the Santa Ana River, west of the City of Corona. In the event of dam failure, the flood wave would reach Placentia in approximately 40 to 45 minutes with possible surge wave depths ranging from nine to twenty-three feet.
Carbon Canyon Dam provides flood control in and around the drainage basin. The dam is located approximately one -mile north of Placentia. In the event of the dam's failure at maximum capacity, water would reach the northerly City limits in approximately two minutes with depths ranging from 10 to 30 feet. In the event of a dam failure at either the Prado or Carbon Canyon Dams, the City's emergency evacuation plan would be implemented and emergency service personnel would respond to any hazards.
3. Toxic and Hazardous Wastes
Although definitions of hazardous materials vary, federal, state, and county agencies have generally recognized toxic substances as chemicals or mixtures whose manufacture, process, distribution, use or disposal may present an unreasonable risk to human health or the environment. The OCFA's Hazardous Materials Area Plan provides a detailed hazard analysis of chemical hazards within Orange County.
4. Transportation of Hazardous Materials
Transportation routes through and around the City are used to transport hazardous materials from suppliers to users. Major transportation routes within Placentia include surface streets and railroads. Additionally, the SR -57 and SR -91 freeways are located adjacent to the city. Transportation accidents involving hazardous materials could occur on any of the routes, potentially resulting in explosions, physical contact by emergency response personnel, environmental degradation, and exposure to the public via airborne exposure. 3-36 March 2022October 2021
ATTACHMENT 2
Chapter 3: Resources and Constraints
Revised Draft
The Federal Department of Transportation (DOT) is the primary regulatory authority for the interstate transport of hazardous materials. The DOT establishes regulations for safe handling procedures (i.e., packaging, marking, labeling and routing). The California Highway Patrol (CHP) enforces the intrastate transport of hazardous materials and hazardous waste.
5. Hazardous Waste Management
The Orange County Hazardous Waste Management Plan provides policy direction and action programs to address current and future hazardous waste management issues that require local responsibility and involvement in Orange County. The Plan discusses hazardous waste issues and analyzes current and future hazardous waste generation in the County. The Integrated Waste Management Department (IWMD) of Orange County owns and operates three active landfills, four household hazardous waste collection centers (HHWCC) and monitors ten closed landfills.
The California Health and Safety Code (H&SC) establishes regulations requiring businesses within the city to complete a chemical inventory to disclose hazardous materials stored, used, or handled on site. The disclosure information is intended to assist emergency responders in planning for and handling emergencies involving hazardous materials. The main program objective is to safeguard the lives of emergency responders, the public, and to minimize property loss. The H&SC also requires a Business Emergency Plan (BEP) to assist in mitigating a release or threatened release of a hazardous material, and to minimize any potential harm or damage to human health or the environment. Disclosure of hazardous materials is updated annually. The Fire Prevention Department of the OCFA is responsible for the distribution and handling of disclosure forms.
Additionally, the OCFA maintains the files of all chemical inventory information and business plans, which are made available for public inspection.
6. Fire Hazards
The City of Placentia is highly urbanized with no wildlands adjacent to areas zoned for residential use. There is minimal potential for fire related to brush or other natural materials. Fire hazards within the City may be associated with industrial uses, hazardous materials, and arson. The Placentia Fire and Life Safety Department provides fire protection services to Placentia. There are two fire stations located within the City limits.
7. Noise
Residential land uses are generally considered to be the most sensitive to loud noises. The principal noise sources in Placentia are the transportation systems.
Roadways are the primary source of transportation -generated noise. The Burlington North Santa Fe Railroad also runs through the city along the Orangethorpe Corridor. The Placentia Quiet Zone went into effect in 2007. Along the quiet zone, all trains are prohibited from using horns unless an engineer feels an emergency exists that threatens human or animal injury or property damage.
The Orange County Transportation Authority also constructed several grade 3-37 March 20220ctober 2021

Chapter 3: Resources and Constraints
separation projects within the City, which further diminish the noise impacts of train traffic.
Infrastructure
1. Sewer
The City maintains and operates the local sanitary sewer collection system, which includes gravity sewers and lift stations. The Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) collects, treats, and disposes of the wastewater from central and northwestern Orange County, including Placentia. Wastewater generated by the City is transported through trunk lines to OCSD's Plant No. 1 (located at 10844 Ellis Avenue, Fountain Valley) and Plant No. 2 (located at 22212 Brookhurst Street, Huntington Beach) where it receives primary and secondary treatment. The City's future housing needs would generate increased wastewater flows, placing greater demands on wastewater treatment and collection. The City requires individual assessments of potential impacts to wastewater facilities to ensure future development does not impact the ability to serve future needs Current and projected infrastructure capacity is adequate to serve projected housing development during the planning period.
2. Water
The City of Placentia is served by the Yorba Linda Water District and the Golden State Water Company. According to Urban Water Management Plans, water supply is expected to be sufficient to accommodate projected housing development during the planning period.
3. Dry Utilities
Residential utilities such as electricity, telephone and internet service are available in all residential areas of the city.
On- and Off -Site Improvements
On- and off-site improvements may be required in conjunction with future housing development based on the location of the project and existing infrastructure.
Dedication and construction of streets, alleys and other public easements and improvements may be required to maintain public safety and convenience. Table 3-11 summarizes the City's standards for roadway and right-of-way widths.

New subdivisions may be required to dedicate land for public facilities such as schools, parks, libraries, fire stations or other public uses based on the land requirements for such facilities in the adopted General Plan. Tree well easements are required on major, primary, and secondary streets in accordance with the City's Municipal Code. Trees are installed by the developer in accordance with the master plan of street trees and City standards.
The on- and off-site improvements required by the City are necessary to adequately provide the infrastructure and public facilities that support housing development.
These requirements ensure public safety and health; and are not jeopardized by increased development and do not unduly hinder housing development.
3.3 Non -Governmental Constraints
Land Prices
Land costs influence the cost of housing. Prices are determined by a number of factors, most important of which are land availability and permitted development density. As land becomes less available, the price of land increases. The price of land also increases as the number of units permitted on each lot increases. In Orange County, undeveloped land is limited and combined with a rapidly growing population land prices have increased. Prices for vacant residential land in Placentia are estimated to be $35 to $50 per square foot.
Construction Costs
Construction cost is affected by the price of materials, labor, development standards and general market conditions. The City has no influence over materials and labor costs, and the building codes and development standards in Placentia are not substantially different than most other cities in Orange County. Construction costs for Revised Draft
3-39 March 2022October 2021
ATTACHMENT 2
Chapter 3: Resources and Constraints
materials and labor have increased at a higher pace than the general rate of inflation recently according to the Construction Industry Research Board. Typical residential construction cost is estimated to be $150 per square foot or more depending on quality and building type.
Financing
Mortgage interest rates have a large influence over the affordability of housing. Higher interest rates increase a homebuyer's monthly payment and decrease the range of housing that a household can afford. Lower interest rates result in a lower cost and lower monthly payments for the homebuyer.
The City is not aware of any local constraints to the availability or cost of residential financing. While mortgage underwriting standards appear to have become stricter in the wake of the mortgage crisis during the Great Recession, interest rates are at historic low levels resulting in lower mortgage costs for well-qualified borrowers.
Numerous lending institutions are active in the northern Orange County area where Placentia is located. While interest rates are very low, the significant increase in housing prices in the past few years poses a major barrier to low- and moderate - income homebuyers.
Other Non -Governmental Constraints
Some neighborhoods in the city are located within a horneo Pers' association and are abject to conditions. covenants and restrictions ("CC&Rs") that could add time and complexity to the residential development process. such as throueh private design review requirements.
In recent Years there have been no requests to develop residential projects at significantly lower densities lower than allowed by zoning regulations. and no significant delays between the approval of entitlements and Wilding permit applications have been noted.

Transit -Oriented Development (TOD) is a compact mixed-use or commercial area designed to maximize access to public transport, and often incorporates features to encourage transit ridership. Consistent with federal, state and regional policies focusing on concentrated growth around transit, in 2017 the City Council adopted the TOD Packing House zoning district, which allows densities up to 95 du/acre near the future Metrolink Station. Since then, 633 multi -family units have been entitled in the TOD District. Also in 2017, the Old Town Zoning District was adopted, which includes a sub -area allowing high-density housing by -right up to 65 units per acre. The City continues to work with developers on TOD opportunities connected with the forthcoming Placentia Metrolink Station. Incentives include the utilization of City -owned property as well as reduced parking requirements and densities up to 95 dwelling units per acre for the TOD Zone and up to 65 dwelling units per acre for the Old Town Zone.

Appendix A: Community Outreach
Public participation is an important component of the Housing Element update. Government Code §65583(c)(8) states that "The local government shall make diligent effort to achieve public participation of all the economic segments of the community in the development of the housing element, and the program shall describe this effort." Public participation played an important role in the formulation and refinement of the City's housing goals and policies and in the development of a Land Use Plan that determines the extent and density of future residential development in the community.
City residents and other interested parties were provided many opportunities to identify housing issues of concern, recommend strategies, review the draft element, and provide recommendations to decision - makers on the Housing Element. The following public meetings were held during the course of the update:
June 8, 2021 Planning Commission study session
August 24, 2021 Public Workshop
September 16, 2021 Public Workshop
October 12, 2021 Planning Commission study session

January 1$, 2022 City Council public hearing
March 8. 2022T88 Planning Commission public hearing
March 15. 2022TB11 City Council public hearing
In addition to these public meetings, the City used several other methods to encourage participation in the Housing Element update, particularly among lower-income households, persons with special needs and non-English speakers. Early in the update process a Housing Element webpage was established (httns://nlacentia.org/94312021-2029-Housing-Element-Update) where meeting notices, an FAQ, draft documents and other reference materials were posted. Prior to each public meeting, notices were sent directly to a list of stakeholders (Table A-1), which included organizations that represent the interests of low-income households and persons with disabilities or other special needs. Notices were posted in both English and Spanish.
A Housing Element Frequently Asked Questions was prepared and posted on the City's Housing Element website, and an online survey was also conducted for interested stakeholders to identify housing needs and issues (see Table A-2).
Common themes raised during the public meetings are the need for affordable housing, particularly for service sector employees, and also the challenges with additional development, such as traffic and demands on public services. The programs described in Chapter 4 seek to address these concerns, including encouraging development of additional affordable and special needs housing, while recognizing the City's limited resources.

2021 Housing Element FAQ
1. What is a Housing Element?
State lave' requires each city to adopt a comprehensive, long -terns General Plan for its physical development. Placentia's General Plan' Is divided into the following "elements" or chapters That contain goals, policies and programs which are intended to guide land use and development decisions:
• Land Use
▪ Housing
• Mobility
• Conservation
• Open Space & Recreation
• Safety
• Noise
• Economic Development
• Health, Wellness & Environmental Justice
• Sustainability
The purpose of the Housing Element is to evaluate the housing needs of Placentia's current and future residents and set forth policies and programs to address those needs.
While most portions of General Plans typically have a time horizon of 20-25 years, State law requires that the Housing Element be updated in Blear "cycles." The City Is currently preparing a Housing Element update for the 2021 to 2029 planning period, which is referred to as the "6" Housing Element cycle" in reference to the six required updates that have occurred since the comprehensive revision to State Housing Element law in 1980.
State law3 establishes detailed requirements for Housing Elements, which are summarized in California Government Code Section 65583:
The housing element shall consist of an identification and analysis of existing and projected housing needs and a statement of goals, policies, quantified objectives, financial resources, and scheduled programs for the preservation, i►►rprovernegt and eleveioprent of housing. The housing element shall idenpfy adequate sites for housing, including rental housing, factory -built housing, mobile homes, and emergency shelters, and shall make adequate provision for the existing and projected needs of all economic segments of the community.

Placentia 2021 Housing Element FAQ
2. What is Housing Element "certification" and why is it important?
The State Legislature has delegated to the California Department of Housing and Community Development ("HCD") the authority to review Housing Elements and issue findings regarding the elements' compliance with the law.' When HCD issues a letter finding that the Housing Element is in substantial compliance with State law it is referred to as "certification" of the Housing Element.
Housing Element certification is important for two main reasons:
• Local control. The General Plan and its various elements provide the foundation for the City's land use plans and development regulations, and the Housing Element is part of the General Plan. If the City were challenged in court on a planning or zoning matter and the General Plan were found by the court to be invalid, the court could order changes to City land use plans or regulations and assume control over City land use decisions. HCD certification establishes a "rebuttable presumption of validity"' that the Housing Element complies with State law, which would support the City's legal defense. Recent laws also allow courts to impose fines on a jurisdiction if it fails to adopt a Housing Element in compliance with State law.'
• Eligibility for grant funds. Some State grant funds are contingent upon Housing Element certification. Grants can help to cover the cost of some projects that would otherwise rely on the City's General Fund.
Placentia's last Housing Element update was completed in 2014 and was certified by HCD as fully compliant with State law.
3. What are the most important issues that must be
addressed in the Housing Element update?
The major issues that must be addressed in the Housing Element update are: 1) how City policies, plans and regulations help to meet the region's housing needs for persons and families of all income levels; and 2) how City land use regulations accommodate the special housing needs of those with disabilities or other difficulties. • Accommodating Regional Housing Needs. Under State law' all cities are required to plan for additional housing to accommodate population growth and address existing housing problems such as overcrowding and high housing cost.
State law recognizes that cities generally do not build housing, since that is typically the role of private and non-profit developers and builders. However, cities are required to adopt policies, development regulations and standards to encourage a variety of housing types that are affordable for persons of all income levels. The Regional Housing Needs Assessment ("RHNA") is the method by which each jurisdiction's share of new housing needs is determined (see #5 below).

• Housing for Persons with Special Needs. Under State law cities must also ensure that their plans and regulations encourage the provision of housing for persons with special needs including:
✓ Reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities ✓ Transitional housing
✓ Supportive housing
✓ Emergency shelters and other facilities serving the homeless ✓ Large families (5 or more persons)
✓ Farm workers
4. What is "affordable" housing?
By definition, housing is considered "affordable" when total housing cost, including utilities, is no more than 30% of a family's gross income. State law describes five income categories, which are based on county median income as shown in Table 1.
Table 1. Household Income Categories
Income Category
Extremely ow Up to 3
Very low 31-50%
Low 51-80%
Moderate 81-120%
Above moderate Over 120%
Source California Government Code Sec 65584(f)
Affordable housing costs for all jurisdictions in Orange County are determined based on these income categories as shown in Table 2. These incomes, rents and housing prices are based on a 4 -person family and are adjusted for different family sizes.
