Port Hueneme City Council
March 16, 2026

• To coordinate efficient implementation of the Plan by various agencies; • To provide a basis for optimum development of the City's environmental resources to the benefit of its citizens; and
• To meet the requirements of state and federal governments.

In addition to the Housing Element, which is discussed in greater detail below as it is the focus of the required annual reporting, the Port Hueneme General Plan consists of several elements, which provide goals, policies and implementation measures for specific topics, as required by state law. These elements are: Land Use, Circulation, Conservation and Open Space, Air Quality, Noise, Economic Development, Public Safety and Facilities, Social Equity, and Climate Action Plan.

The City's entire General Plan was comprehensively updated and adopted by the City Council in October 2021. The City's Housing Element was updated and re-adopted by the City Council in October 2022, and was subsequently found to be in full compliance with all applicable state laws and therefore, was certified by HCD in October 2022 as well.

This particular Housing Element is part of the 6th statewide cycle of housing elements and will be valid from 2021-2029. A housing element is the only element of a general plan that is required to be updated on a regular cycle.

The Housing Element identifies and analyzes existing and projected housing needs and includes a statement of goals, policies, quantified objectives and scheduled programs for the preservation, improvement and development of housing. The Housing Element is required to identify adequate sites for housing, including rental housing, and to make adequate provisions for the existing and projected needs of all economic segments of the community.

The annual report will be filed on HCD's website and forwarded to OPR. It will include a set of tables that demonstrates the City's annual progress towards meeting the goals, objectives and programs contained in the Housing Element. This includes information regarding the number of units that were determined to be needed to be constructed in each income category by the end of the Housing Element cycle (2029). These units are per the Regional Housing Needs Allocation, "RHNA". Due to factors, such as the City's existing housing stock and that the City is built out, it was determined that 125 units are needed to be constructed by 2029 (note, however, that this is an increase from the two units that were required per the previous RHNA cycle).

Table 1, below, provides the breakdown of the City’s current RHNA requirements:

Agenda Item No. 13 Page 2 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
2025 Annual General Plan Progress Report
March 16, 2026

Table 1
Income Category (% of County AMI1) # of Units Required Percent of Total Extremely Low (0% to 30%) 16 12.8%
Very Low (31% to 50%) 10 8%
Low (51% to 80%) 16 12.8%
Moderate (81% to 120%) 18 14.4%
Above Moderate (over 120%) 65 52%
TOTAL 125 100%
1 AMI = Area Median Income
The City Council approved the conversion of a portion of the Surfside Motel development in October 2021, which will result in the development of 41 for-rent units. Of these, eight units will be affordable to low-income households, one will be affordable to extremely lowincome households and the remaining 32 units will be market-rate, or above-moderate.

These units will all be able to be counted towards the City’s required RHNA. The City recently entered into a compliance contract with the project owner requiring that the be completed in 2026.

In addition, 15 new Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU)s were permitted and 16 ADUs were completed in 2025. Since the ADUs will not be deed-restricted, they will be counted towards meeting the City’s RHNA requirement to provide 65 above-moderate units.

The Housing Element also contains 21 programs to facilitate maintenance and preservation of existing housing units, and for the creation of new ones. Of these, several are of particular concern to HCD as they pertain to providing ways to construct additional residential units in the City to help meet the City’s RHNA. These include providing incentives for additional development in the City’s Mixed-Use Residential (R-4 zone), establishing a zone to encourage additional units in the oldest part of the City, amending the Zoning Ordinance to allow sites identified in the previous RHNA cycle to be developed by-right, and re-zoning properties identified in the Housing Element from General Commercial (C-1) to R-4 and from Limited Multi-Family (R-2) to Multi-Family (R-3).

In November and December of 2024, the City Council approved a series of Zoning Ordinance Amendments and Zone Changes which enabled the City to comply with all of the Housing Element Programs summarized above, as well as several other statemandated laws. Therefore, including the Housing Element programs which are on-going, the City is now in partial or complete compliance with all 21 of the programs identified in the Housing Element.

City of Port Hueneme
2025 Annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Report 2 Introduction
Government Code Section 65400 requires the City to file an annual report addressing the status of the General Plan and progress made toward implementation of its goals, policies and programs, including progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs and efforts to remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement and development of housing. The annual report requires presentation to the City Council for review and acceptance. A copy of the report is then provided to the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) by April 1 of each year.

This annual report covers the calendar year January 1 to December 31, 2025.

The Port Hueneme General Plan consists of 10 elements, which are listed in Table 1, below.

Land Use Element
The Land Use Element and the Land Use Policy Map are two important components of the General Plan. As a small coastal community with limited space for new development, Port Hueneme must balance preservation of its beach community character and the desire for new development that accommodates the community’s housing needs and provides a healthy local economy. Taken in concert with the other General Plan elements, the Goals and Policies of the Land Use Element set forth a vision that achieves this balance and is more equitable, sustainable and prosperous for all residents and businesses. The Land Use Element defines the City’s land use designations, including uses, densities, intensities, and the Land Use Map that guides development in the City. A discussion of the goals of the Land Use Element and the manner in which the City has met these goals is provided below.

Agenda Item No. 13 Page 7 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
City of Port Hueneme
2025 Annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Report 3 Goal 1: Continued development of land uses that will create and sustain a strong, viable economic base for the City.

Implementation: The City is primarily built-out. However, land uses continue to evolve. In 2017, the City implemented a Cannabis Ordinance and Implementing Resolution, which set forth policies and standards for the development of all types of cannabis-related business uses in the City. A component of the program was the implementation of a development agreement requirement for each new cannabis business. Since the City does not have a cannabis tax, the development agreement provides a tool in which the City requires the cannabis business to pay a portion of their gross revenues in exchange for certain development guarantees by the City for the life of the project. The overall purpose of allowing cannabis businesses to operate in the City and be subject to approval of a development agreement for each business was to provide the City a revenue source to improve its economic base.

Additionally, the City approved a comprehensive update of its General Plan and in doing so, identified three areas in the City (two under-performing commercial areas and the older, central portion of the City) that would be suitable for redevelopment and therefore, amended the Land Use Map and set forth goals and policies for these areas to attract such redevelopment and potentially enhance the City’s economic base accordingly. In November 2024, these areas were re-zoned to be consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map and the Mixed Use Residential (R-4) zoning standards, which apply to these areas, were also updated to be consistent with the Housing Element and to further the attractiveness of these areas for potential redevelopment.

Goal 2: Creative utilization and responsible conservation of the City's major natural asset:
the beach and harbor environment.

Implementation: Several large events took place at Hueneme Beach Park in 2025, including the City’s Hueneme Beach Festival, which promote tourism by bringing visitors to the beach, and to the City as a whole. In addition, the City completed installation of the swingset and partnered with key agencies to complete a successful dredge cycle to ensure adequate sand to maintain beach facilities.

Goal 3: Development and maintenance of a housing stock that meets the needs of local residents.

Agenda Item No. 13 Page 8 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
City of Port Hueneme
2025 Annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Report 4 Implementation: The City of Port Hueneme is largely built-out, with little room for new development. However, in 2025, the City issued building permits for 15 new accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and provided final inspections on 16 additional ADUs.

Goal 4: "Fair share" payment for use of City services and facilities.

Implementation: The City has agreements in place to ensure the Port of Hueneme pays its fair share of its use of the City's roads and infrastructure. Additionally, the City maintains paid parking at and adjacent to the Hueneme Beach Park, to provide a source of revenue for maintaining the park's facilities. Further, the City approved a comprehensive update of its Capital Improvement Program, which will continue to help enhance and plan for the maintenance of the City’s facilities.

Goal 5: Protection of the City's interests by continuing collaboration efforts with adjacent and regional jurisdictions to address common issues, including air quality, transportation, water quality and supply, solid waste disposal, and natural hazards (e.g., sea level rise).

Implementation: Although the City is mostly built-out, all planning entitlement applications are reviewed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to analyze all potential impacts on local and regional issues, including air quality, transportation, water quality and supply, and solid waste disposal. In 2025, all planning entitlements were considered to qualify as "exempt from the provisions of CEQA". The City also continues to work with the Port of Hueneme and Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) regarding common issues (and with the Channel Islands Harbor to advocate for a successful dredging project at Hueneme Beach), and is also working with the Ventura County Transportation Commission on local and regional transportation issues. Further, the City is currently working with the Coastal Commission to update the City’s Local Coastal Program (LCP) for several issues related to the General Plan update, including sea level rise. The revisions to the LCP are expected to be completed in mid-2026.

Goal 6: An aesthetically pleasing and efficiently organized city.

Implementation: To ensure the City of Port Hueneme's aesthetic values are maintained, the City carefully reviews all new development applications to ensure the existing aesthetic values of the subject and surrounding properties are maintained. If the application proposes to revise these values, the City requires approval of a development permit or a minor or major modification to the previously approved development permit for the project, to ensure a thorough review of the project is performed and to provide the City's decision makers and surrounding property owners an opportunity to be aware of, and act on, the proposed project.
2025 Amendments: None.

Pending Amendments: None.

City of Port Hueneme
2025 Annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Report 5 Circulation Element
The purpose of the Circulation Element is to ensure the City’s circulation maintains the orderly movement of both people and goods. The Circulation Element guides the development and operation of all components of the circulation serving Port Hueneme.

State requirements pertaining to complete streets and consideration of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) are also incorporated. A discussion of the goals of the Circulation/Infrastructure Element and the manner in which the City has met these goals is provided below.

Goal 1: Provision of a comprehensive transportation system for the movement of persons and goods with maximum safety, efficiency, and convenience.

Implementation: The City is exploring changes with a focus on ensuring bicycle and pedestrian safety in key areas of the City such as Ventura Road. These changes would also increase vehicle safety via line of sight and other improvements.

Goal 2: Provision of a balanced roadway system which will provide adequate accessibility to existing and future land uses with minimum impact on residential neighborhoods.

Implementation: The City is largely built-out; however, ongoing circulation improvements focus on safety, multimodal accessibility, and efficient goods movement within the existing network. As Port of Hueneme operations evolve, the City will continue coordination with the Oxnard Harbor District and regional partners to maintain reliable freight access while minimizing neighborhood traffic impacts. The City will implement Complete Streets and safety enhancements, including pedestrian crossings, traffic calming, ADA upgrades, and bicycle connectivity improvements, with priority along corridors such as the Bubbling Springs Recreation Corridor and coastal access routes.

Goal 3: The City maintains and expands its network of bikeways, walkways, and coastal access corridors to support walking, bicycling, and shared mobility. Consistent with Complete Streets and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) reduction objectives, the City will implement corridor and intersection improvements that enhance safety, connectivity, and usability for non-automobile travel, including upgrades along the Bubbling Springs Recreation Corridor and the Hueneme Beach promenade.

Implementation: The City of Port Hueneme maintains the Bubbling Springs Recreation Corridor and several miles of bikeways and walkways throughout the City to encourage the use of alternative transportation modes. With the adoption of the updated Parks and Recreation Master Plan, the City will also explore improvements (especially mid-block crossings) to the Bubbling Springs Recreation Corridor, to enhance safety and overall usability of the corridor as well as improvements to the promenade along the north side of Hueneme Beach Park, adjacent to Surfside Drive.

Goal 4: Improvement of accessibility and integration of the City with the regional transportation system.

The Ventura County Comprehensive Transportation Plan, approved September 5 2025, guides regional transportation investment and integration affecting Port Hueneme.
2025 Amendments: None
Pending Amendments: None.

Conservation and Open Space Element
The Conservation and Open Space Element defines and establishes goals and policies for preserving and effectively managing human and natural resources in Port Hueneme.

The element covers issues relating to Port Hueneme’s parks and recreation, bicycle and non-motorized paths, biological resources, coastal resources, energy and mineral resources, water resources, archaeological and historical resources, and tribal cultural resources. A discussion of the goals of the Conservation and Open Space Element and the manner in which the City has met these goals is provided below.

Goal 1: Protection of the remaining native and non-native plant and animal species in the City.

Goal 2: Preservation of remaining open space areas and maintain recreational facilities.

Implementation: The City continues to protect the remaining native and non-native plant and animal species in the City by assisting the City of Oxnard in maintaining and preserving the adjacent Ormond Lagoon area. The City also provides continued maintenance of the Bubbling Springs Recreation Corridor to preserve its native/naturalized ecosystem and species living within it. Further, to ensure the preservation of the naturalized sand dunes and habitat at the east end of the Hueneme Beach Park, all temporary events occurring anywhere at the Hueneme Beach Park are subject to approval of a Special Use Permit from the City Council, which includes conditions of approval to ensure the preservation of these dunes. In 2025, the City required the approval of Special Use Permits for three large-scale events at Hueneme Beach Park.

Goal 3: Development, financing, and maintenance of local parks, recreation, and community service facilities that meet the needs of the residents of Port Hueneme.

Implementation: In 2021, the City approved a comprehensive update of its Parks and Recreation Master Plan, which provides recommended improvements to the City’s parks and recreation facilities and programs. In particular, planning and project design for the City’s largest project in many years, the complete remodel of the City’s Bubbling Springs Park, which was completed in 2025.

Agenda Item No. 13 Page 11 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
City of Port Hueneme
2025 Annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Report 7 Goal 4: Operation of recreation and community service programs that meet the needs of all sections of the City’s population.

Implementation: The City's Recreation and Community Services Division operates a variety of recreation programs for all ages (infants to senior citizens). The City also continues to support partnerships with the Port Hueneme Little League, Boys & Girls Club, and Oxnard Union High School District. Additionally, the City continues supporting the following recreational programs in the City: gymnastics, ballet, taekwondo, senior exercise, English conversation group, weekly Senior Play Day, sewing and crochet workshops, Sunday Fun Day crafting events, senior holiday luncheon; variety of seasonal community events and youth involvement fair; activities at the Boys and Girls Club; Cops for Tots; National Night Out; and "Movies in the Park" (which rotate among the City's parks, to ensure all areas of the community have the opportunity to participate). In 2018, the majority of the City's registered voters passed Measure "U", a one-cent sales tax increase, which is used to augment the City's General Fund. Monies from Measure U are now being used for on-going maintenance of parks and recreation facilities throughout the City.

Goal 5: Preservation of existing water resources.

Goal 6: Conservation of energy resources through the use of available technology and conservation practices.

Goal 7: Minimization of solid waste produced in Port Hueneme.

Implementation: Through the implementation of the California Building Code, the City ensures new development meets water and energy conservation, as well as all waste diversion requirements of the Code. In addition, the City operates the Residential Rehabilitation Loan Program, a program that provides loans to homeowners wishing to make improvements, such as water- or energy-conserving projects, to their residences.

The City also participates in five Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) programs, which enable the PACE program administrators to provide loans for a variety of waterand energy-conserving projects for all types of properties in the City (residential and nonresidential alike).

Goal 8: Maintenance and enhancement of the City's historic and cultural resources.

Implementation: In the 1990s, the City required Wene'mu Park, a mini-park located at E.

Port Hueneme Road and Pelican Pointe Court, to be developed, in order to preserve the historic archaeological artifacts that were found during the construction of the adjacent residential community. The City currently maintains this park, and thus, ensures the ongoing preservation of these artifacts. Although the City is now built-out, with limited development potential, if an entitlement application requires CEQA analysis, the analysis will include a discussion of cultural and archaeological artifacts and any necessary mitigation to preserve such artifacts. Additionally, after multi-year closure, with direction from a visioning charrette and formation of a Museum Governance AD Hoc Committee, Agenda Item No. 13 Page 12 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
City of Port Hueneme
2025 Annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Report 8 the City reopened the renovated Port Hueneme Historical Museum in July of 2024. The museum is currently undergoing a full automated inventory process and is staffed by volunteer docents every weekend.
2025 Amendments: None.

Pending Amendments: None.

Agenda Item No. 13 Page 13 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
City of Port Hueneme
2025 Annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Report 9 Air Quality Element
The Air Quality Element coordinates the planning of land use, circulation, housing and other City policies with their potential effects on air quality. The purpose is to guide Port Hueneme toward assisting the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District in meeting State and federal air quality standards and avoid exposure of Port Hueneme residents, workers, and visitors to unhealthful air quality. A discussion of the goals of the Air Quality Element and the manner in which the City has met these goals is provided below.

Goal 1: Reduction of air pollution generated by passenger vehicles.

Goal 2: Minimization of exposure to air pollutants, including toxic air contaminants.

Implementation: The City continues to work with the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District on the implementation of the programs within the District's Air Quality Management Plan. The City of Port Hueneme City Hall is closed on alternate Fridays, thus providing an opportunity for staff to reduce auto travel to and from work. As part of the 2020 energy-efficiency improvements to the City’s facilities (Civic Center and Public Works Annex), an electric vehicle charging station was installed in the City Hall parking lot for the public’s use. Additionally, as noted above, the City maintains the Bubbling Springs Recreation Corridor and several miles of bikeways and walkways throughout the City to encourage the use of alternate modes of travel. Further, the City, as part of the approval process of cannabis-related businesses, encourages the business owners to hire employees who live either in the City of Port Hueneme (preferred) or within Ventura County, which provides an additional opportunity to reduce the number of miles traveled by these employees to and from work.
2025 Amendments: None.

Pending Amendments: None.

Noise Element
Noise is generated by various sources throughout the City and affects different areas of the community differently depending on the noise source and affected land use. The Noise Element identifies the community’s primary noise sources and areas where sensitive receptors may be exposed to noise exceeding acceptable levels and provides goals and policies to minimize noise impacts to the extent feasible. A discussion of the goals of the Noise Element and the manner in which the City has met these goals is provided below.

Goal 1: Protection of the Public from excessive noise and vibration from both stationary and mobile noise.

Agenda Item No. 13 Page 14 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
City of Port Hueneme
2025 Annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Report 10 Implementation: To ensure the City's noise standards are met, City staff ensures construction does not occur before or after the allowable hours. For events proposing to attract crowds and/or have amplified music, the City requires Special Use Permits as a method to ensure the design and layout of each event is situated in a way to minimize impacts on neighboring properties, to condition the hours of the event, noise levels, etc., and to provide an opportunity for adjacent property owners and the City's decision makers alike to provide input on the proposed event. Although the City enjoys a mild coastal climate, there has been an increase in the number of building permits being issued for air conditioning units. Therefore, if City staff, during the permitting process, determines the potential for an air conditioning unit (or any other piece of mechanical equipment) may have the potential to exceed the required noise levels, a noise study is required and/or mitigation, such as covers or cabinets for the equipment, are required prior to the issuance of building permits for the equipment. Regarding traffic noise impacts, City staff ensure noise levels per the vehicle code are complied with and staff continues to work with the Oxnard Port Authority regarding the hours of operation of their trains, to reduce noise impacts on residences adjacent to the tracks.
2025 Amendments: None.

Pending Amendments: None.

Economic Development Element
Port Hueneme’s unique economy is comprised of a commuter workforce, coastal amenities, and a cannabis industry that generates some fiscal revenue for the City. The economy is also influenced by the City’s immediate proximity to the Pacific Ocean as well as the Port of Hueneme and Naval Base Ventura County, which are both recognized economic and technology engines in the larger Ventura County region. The Economic Development Element evaluates the current economy to identify opportunities for commercial revitalization to create a recognized, visitor-friendly downtown area and expand the community’s future vitality. The goals and policies in this Element are consistent with State requirements pertaining to economic health and sustainable funding, job growth and retention, and community revitalization. A discussion of the goals of the Economic Development Element and the manner in which the City has met these goals is provided below.

Goal 1: Creation of a sustainable financial future for the City through focused expansion of fiscally-positive land uses.

Goal 2: Redevelopment of aging commercial centers with a mix of land uses that fulfill market demand and serve as community gathering places.

Implementation: The City continues to promote and ensure the success of the cannabisrelated businesses operating in the City. In 2021, the City placed a cap on the maximum Agenda Item No. 13 Page 15 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
City of Port Hueneme
2025 Annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Report 11 number of certain types of cannabis businesses allowed in the City, and in 2026 reduced that cap to ensure the local market would not become over-saturated, which could be detrimental to the existing cannabis businesses in the City. However, to maintain a competitive edge against the other cities in the region that also allow cannabis businesses, in 2022, the City further amended its cannabis ordinance to allow cannabis lounges to be established by dispensaries already doing business in the City and in 2023 and 2024, the City further amended its cannabis ordinance to expand allowed hours of operation, allow certain temporary uses without additional permitting requirements, to reduce ongoing fees and to expand the types of cannabis uses allowed in the General Commercial (C-1) zone. In 2024, the City re-zoned under-performing commercial areas in the City, consistent with the recently adopted Land Use Map, to encourage the re-use of these sites into more fiscally-positive land uses. Also in 2024, the City Council approved the City’s first comprehensive economic development plan, which is expected to be used by the City to focus on business attraction to the City.

Goal 3: Creation and branding of a new “downtown” Port Hueneme with a mix of destination retail, lodging, housing and public spaces that attracts both residents and visitors.

Implementation: In November and December 2024, the City re-zoned the “downtown” area from General Commercial (C-1) to Mixed Use Residential (R-4) and also created a Neighborhood Infill Overlay zone for the surrounding residentially zoned areas, and updated the R-4 zoning standards, all to be consistent with the General Plan and encourage the development of additional retail, lodging, housing and public spaces in this area of the City.

Goal 4: Leveraging Port Hueneme’s attractive coastal location to expand local tourism and associated economic benefits.

Implementation: In 2021, the City approved a comprehensive update of its Parks and Recreation Master Plan, which established updated guidelines for improvements to Hueneme Beach Park to attract additional visitors to the beach area. In addition, three large city events took place at Hueneme Beach Park in 2025, which promote tourism by bringing visitors to the beach, and to the City as a whole. As noted above, in 2024, the City rezoned properties for the “downtown” Port Hueneme area by revising Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map, as necessary, to encourage the development of additional retail, dining and lodging opportunities in the City. Further, the City is exploring rebranding and a new way-finding sign campaign to further attract visitors to the City.

Goal 5: Expansion of high-skill/high-wage employment opportunities for Port Hueneme residents.

Implementation: Although the City is built-out, which limits the potential for physical construction of new industries in the City, the City continues to work with and support the Agenda Item No. 13 Page 16 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
City of Port Hueneme
2025 Annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Report 12 Port of Hueneme and NBVC to attract high-skill/high-wage job opportunities for the City’s residents, including opportunities for Port expansion. In 2024, the City adopted a comprehensive economic development plan to be used for future business attraction to the City. The City also employs economic development consultants (HdL) to analyze strengths and weaknesses in the Port Hueneme business market, and to assist with attracting new businesses into the City.
2025 Amendments: None.

Pending Amendments: None.

Public Safety and Facilities Element
Public services such as public buildings and facilities; fire and police protection; schools and libraries’ water, sewer, and utilities’ health services; emergency preparedness; and telecommunications are critical for a safe community. The levels of service needed for Port Hueneme are directly related to the intensity of development in the community. Most recent legislation associated with public safety and services includes SB 1035, which requires a Safety Element Update during a Housing Element Update and SP 99 and AB 747, requiring all cities to identify evacuation routes. Goals and policies in this Element aim to protect Port Hueneme from natural and man-made hazards and provides public services equitably for all its residents. A discussion of the goals of the Public Safety/Facilities Element and the manner in which the City has met these goals is provided below.

Goal 1: Protection of Port Hueneme's residents, workers, and visitors from natural hazards, including flood and seismic.

Implementation: Since the City of Port Hueneme is essentially built-out, there is little room left for new development that would be susceptible to natural and man-made hazards.

However, City staff, through the environmental review process and building permit process, analyze and ensure all new and modified development complies with all applicable codes in order to mitigate potential impacts from the hazards noted above. In addition, to reduce the potential for impacts from flooding along the coastline, the City participates in a sand replenishment program to ensure sand at Hueneme Beach Park is maintained. The City's Public Works staff also routinely monitors the naturalized waterway within the Bubbling Springs Recreation Corridor to prevent opportunities for flooding and also monitors the condition of City-owned facilities before and after storms, earthquakes, etc.

Goal 2: Minimization of impacts to life and property associated with the use, storage, or transport of hazardous material and urban fire hazards.

Agenda Item No. 13 Page 17 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
City of Port Hueneme
2025 Annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Report 13 Implementation: New development and uses that use hazardous materials (i.e. cannabis manufacturing procedures that use volatile extraction methods) will be required to be fully analyzed by City and Ventura County Fire Department staff to ensure any potential hazards are fully mitigated. Further, the City continues to enforce state and federal standards with regard to the transportation of hazardous through the City.

Goal 3: Protection of all persons and property from criminal activities.

Implementation: The Port Hueneme Police Department routinely reviews all planning entitlement applications to ensure safety concerns are addressed through the design review process. In addition, the Chief of Police is one of the staff committee members who review all application packages for cannabis businesses, to ensure the applicants' security programs will be sufficient not only to mitigate potential criminal activities but to prevent them in the first place (i.e. by establishing security guards where none existed before, which then provides a deterrent for crime in the area). The Police Department, along with staff from several other City departments, then routinely monitor the business operations of the cannabis businesses, to ensure conditions of approval are continuously complied with. Further, the City's Police Department annually hosts a National Night Out event to promote public awareness involving safety issues.

Goal 4: Provision of opportunities for quality education to all kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, and high school-aged residents.

Implementation: Since the City is built-out, there has not been the need in recent years to expand the schools in the City to accommodate additional population. However, the City does collect school fees in conjunction with additions to existing residences and other related building construction activities, which is then used towards improvements to the school facilities within the school districts serving Port Hueneme's residents. In addition, in 2021, the City updated its Parks and Recreation Master Plan, which includes recommendations for the joint use of school and park facilities to promote community youth and recreation programs.

Goal 5: Maintenance of a consistent level of quality water service in the City.

Implementation: The City’s Water Division is preparing a Water Master Plan to ensure a consistent level of quality water service in the City into the future.

Goal 6: Maintenance of a consistent level of quality sewer service throughout the entire City.

Implementation: The City continues to provide adequate water and sewer service to the City, as well as continues to coordinate with the Ventura County Watershed Protection District and Ventura County Public Works Department for the coordination and implementation of flood control infrastructure. As noted above, the City's Public Works Agenda Item No. 13 Page 18 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
City of Port Hueneme
2025 Annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Report 14 staff also routinely monitors the naturalized waterway within the Bubbling Springs Recreation Corridor to prevent opportunities for flooding and also monitors the condition of City-owned facilities before and after storms, earthquakes, etc. The City also enforces all water conservation measures required by the Building Code and no longer promotes owners of single-family residences to maintain turf lawns (instead, drought-tolerant landscaping is recommended and the City's Residential Rehabilitation Loan Program and PACE programs are promoted as ways for property owners to replace their laws and outdated irrigation systems with drought-tolerant designs and materials). The City also ensures all new or modified development comply with local stormwater infrastructure requirements. The City’s Wastewater Division completed a sewer main line repair to existing infrastructure
Goal 8: Provision of adequate utility infrastructure by service providers in an aesthetically pleasing way, promotion of energy conservation through application of energy saving technology and available energy.

Goal 9: Provision of quality communication systems which meet the demands of new and existing development in the City.

Implementation: Electrical service in the City of Port Hueneme is provided by Southern California Edison and natural gas service is provided by the Southern California Gas Company. The City routinely works with these providers to ensure service is adequately provided throughout the City. The City maintains an expedited service for the plan checking and permitting of solar systems on private property to promote the installation of these systems. Energy-efficiency upgrades to private properties are also encouraged and promoted through the City's Residential Rehabilitation Loan Program and PACE programs. City staff continue to work with wireless telecommunications providers on an as-needed basis to permit upgrades to existing facilities to meet the City's needs.

Goal 10: Protection of public's safety at public parks and recreational facilities.

Implementation: The City's Recreation and Community Services Division operates a lifeguard program to serve and protect visitors at Hueneme Beach Park during peak summer and fall months. The City's Police and Parking Enforcement staff also routinely patrol all City-owned parks to ensure public safety needs are being met.

Goal 11: Protection of Port Hueneme’s public safety from infectious diseases.

Implementation: The City worked closely with Ventura County to minimize the risk of the spread of COVID-19 by implementing the regulations set forth by County Public Health. 2025 Amendments: None.

Pending Amendments: None.

City of Port Hueneme
2025 Annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Report 15 Social Equity Element
The concept of social equity pertains to the idea that equal access to opportunity and quality of life should be available to all communities, regardless of income, race, location, or other factors. To that end, the Social Equity Element addresses social inequities in Port Hueneme with a focus on environmental justice. State legislation, including SB 1000, establishes requirements for the Social Equity Element. A discussion of the goals of the Social Equity Element and the manner in which the City has met these goals is provided below.

Goal 1: Minimization of exposure to pollution, including the improvement of air quality.

Implementation: Since the City of Port Hueneme is essentially built-out, there is little room left for new development that would be susceptible to exposure from pollution. However, City staff, through the environmental review process and building permit process, analyze and ensure all new and modified development near the Port of Hueneme and NBVC will not be exposed to pollutants.

Goal 2: Promotion of public facilities, food access, affordable housing, and physical activity.

Implementation: As discussed above, the City routinely works with utility and wireless telecommunications providers to ensure service is adequately provided throughout the City. In addition, the City's Recreation and Community Services Division operates a variety of recreation programs for all ages (infants to senior citizens), and in 2021, the City approved a comprehensive update of its Parks and Recreation Master Plan, which provides recommended improvements to the City’s parks and recreation facilities and programs. In particular, planning and project design for the City’s largest project in many years, the complete remodel of the City’s Bubbling Springs Park, was completed in 2025.

Goal 3: Equitable civil engagement in the public decision-making process.

Implementation: In 2024, the City held a community workshop for the proposed Neighborhood Infill Overlay zone, for which flyers and information were provided in English and Spanish. The City will continue to provide public information in English and Spanish and also coordinate with local organizations (i.e., the Oceanview Pavilion) to promote community engagement and programs.

Goal 4: Prioritize improvements and programs that address the needs of disadvantaged communities.

Implementation: As discussed above, the City routinely works with wireless telecommunications providers to ensure service is adequately provided throughout the Agenda Item No. 13 Page 20 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026

Climate Action Plan Element
Over the past decade, Port Hueneme, like the rest of California, has increasingly felt the impacts of climate change. Wildfires in nearby areas have become more extreme, heat waves more frequent, and rainfall more unpredictable. These climate-related risks are projected to worsen throughout the 21st century, with Port Hueneme also facing the impacts of sea level rise as a coastal community. Recognizing the importance for addressing climate change, the Climate Action Plan (CAP) Element presents a plan for how the City will reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the coming decades, doing its share to help mitigate climate change while also meeting State-adopted GHG emissions reduction targets. The CAP is meant to be a qualified GHG reduction strategy, meeting the requirements of CEQA Guidelines § 15183(b). It also includes climate adaptation strategies, developed to increase resilience throughout the City to better prepare the community and vulnerable populations for the impacts of climate change. A discussion of the goals of the CAP Element and the manner in which the City has met these goals is provided below.

Goal 1: Reduced greenhouse gas emissions from energy use in buildings.

Implementation: Over the past five years, the City has installed solar panels at the Civic Center, City Hall and the Public Works Department to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Goal 2: Reduced greenhouse gas emissions from transportation.

Implementation: Over the past five years, the City has installed two EV chargers at City Hall to help reduce transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions. The City is also actively pursuing grant funding to install additional EV chargers at the beach parking lot, Bubbling Springs Park, and the Mar Vista housing complex. In the last decade, the City has upgraded several non-compliant bike lanes to Class I infrastructure to further encourage bicycle use and improve pedestrian safety.

Goal 3: Reduced greenhouse gas emissions from solid waste.

Implementation: The City fully implemented an organics collection program, and replaced two solid waste trucks to CNG.

Agenda Item No. 13 Page 21 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
City of Port Hueneme
2025 Annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Report 17 Goal 4: Reduced greenhouse gas emissions from water use.

Implementation: In 2024, the comprehensively updated Landscape Ordinance and related updated Landscape Design Guidelines, which include standards and requirements for the use of native and/or drought-tolerant landscaping to replace aging landscaped areas citywide took effect, which should result in the use of water for irrigating the landscaping.

Additionally, the City is in the early stages of planning the implementation of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) for all customers with a water meter. This technology will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by minimizing the need for staff to drive to individual locations for meter readings. The City has also added smart controllers to irrigation system and will soon replace turf areas with drought tolerant plants at City Hall and Moranda Park that will use smart controllers and drip irrigation, to reduce water usage. This project is being accomplished through the grant and approval process associated with the Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA) Turnkey Turf Transformation Program. On April 7, 2025, the City Council authorized acceptance of the $710,943.33 grant, the design was completed in 2025, and on February 17, 2026, the City Council approved the final design concept for the turf removal project, which includes the City Hall community show garden improvements.

Goal 5: Increased carbon sequestration from the City’s urban forest.

Implementation: As noted above, the Landscape Design Guidelines and tree planting policy were recently enacted, which take into consideration an increase in the City’s urban forest to sequester carbon.

Goal 6: Reduced greenhouse gas emissions from landscaping equipment.

Implementation: The City was successful in obtaining an APCD grant in 2024 to replace 50% of the landscaping gas hand powered tools with rechargeable battery electric hand power tools. The Landscape Division will continue to replace the remaining gas-powered hand tools with battery electric hand tools as the older tools wear out.

Goal 7: Integration of climate change best planning practices into government processes and structures to foster increased community-wide resilience.

Implementation: In 2022 the City updated its five-year Capital Improvement Program, which includes projects that promote climate adaptation strategies, such as improvements to the City’s utility infrastructure and its sidewalks and bikeways to facilitate alternative modes of transportation to the private automobile.

Goal 8: Protection of residents, businesses, and infrastructure from climate change impacts.

Agenda Item No. 13 Page 22 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
City of Port Hueneme
2025 Annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Report 18 Implementation: The City is in the process of updating its Local Coastal Program, which will contain policies related to sea level rise, which will then be implemented accordingly.

In 2024, the City enacted its Landscape Design Guidelines to take into account state-ofthe-art drought-tolerant landscaping practices, which will then be implemented accordingly.
2025 Amendments: None.

Pending Amendments: None.

Housing Element
Introduction
The Housing Element establishes City Housing policies and programs for the 2021-2029 planning period (the sixth Housing Element cycle), and is aimed at providing a comprehensive strategy for the provision of sufficient, safe, and affordable housing for all members of the community. The Housing Element guides City officials and decision makers in actions related to meet housing goals, consistent with State housing law. The Housing Element has two main purposes:
• To provide an assessment of both current and future housing needs, and constraints in meeting these needs; and
• To provide a strategy that establishes housing goals, policies, and programs.

The City's Housing Element was initially adopted by the City Council on October 4, 2021, along with the rest of the comprehensively updated General Plan. After several revisions were made per HCD’s comments, the City Council re-adopted the Housing Element as revised on October 3, 2022, and the Housing Element was subsequently certified on October 5, 2022.

Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA)
The Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) is a state-mandated process to identify the total number of housing units by affordability level that each jurisdiction must accommodate in its Housing Element. As part of this process, HCD projects the total housing need during a Housing Element cycle by region. For the region in which the City of Port Hueneme is located, the Regional Council of the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) must then develop a methodology to distribute this need to local governments. Port Hueneme’s share of the regional housing needs for this sixth cycle Housing Element update is allocated by SCAG based on factors such as recent growth trends, income distribution, and capacity for future growth.

To comply with state law, the City's adopted and certified Housing Element provides a land inventory of sites within the City that are zoned for, and are appropriate for residential Agenda Item No. 13 Page 23 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026

2025 Annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Report 20 Appendix B, the Annual Housing Progress Report to be presented to HCD and OPR, provides data tables which provide additional detail on the City's progress in meeting its RHNA requirements.

Affordable Housing Income Categories and Income Limits
For the purposes of this annual progress report, affordable housing was divided into the following household income categories: extremely low, very low, low, moderate and above moderate. HCD provides updated household income limits by county for each income category annually, based on income limit revisions the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) makes to its Section 8 Housing Voucher Program. The household income limits are based on household size. The income limits for Ventura County are shown in Table 4, below (note that the median income for a household of four is $131,300).

A discussion of the goals of the Housing Element and the manner in which the City has met these goals is provided below.

Goal 1: Maintenance and enhancement of the quality of residential neighborhoods in Port Hueneme.

Implementation: In 2025, the City processed 428 Code Compliance cases relating to a variety of property maintenance and blighting influences (i.e., overgrown vegetation, debris and unpermitted construction). In addition, the City operates the Residential Rehabilitation Loan Program, and is partners with five property assessed clean energy (PACE) programs. With these programs, the City encourages, and provides, means for property owners to obtain low-cost financing to make improvements to their residences.

Agenda Item No. 13 Page 25 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
City of Port Hueneme
2025 Annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Report 21 Goal 2: Adequate provision of housing by location, type of unit and price to meet the existing and future needs of Port Hueneme residents.

Implementation: Although the City is generally built-out, in 2025, the City issued building permits for 15 new Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and 16 additional ADUs were completed in 2025. City continues to issue building permits for room additions to alleviate potential overcrowding in residences and encourages the use of the Residential Rehabilitation Loan Program as a means to fund such additions. In 2018, the City became a member of the Housing Trust Fund of Ventura County, which is an organization that leverages monies from contributors
and donors (including the City of Port Hueneme) to provide low-interest loans of substantial value to offset the costs of residential development. Since the City is now a member of the Fund, such monies could now be used towards a residential development in the City.

Goal 3: Provision of increased opportunities for home ownership.

Implementation: In addition to the City selling a parcel of land to Habitat for Humanity in 2022, which resulted in the construction of five units for sale to low-income households, the City will continue to work with developers who could potentially purchase other Cityowned properties for the development of other for sale units. Additionally, in 2024, the City approved a new “missing middle” overlay zoning district, the “Neighborhood Infill Overlay Zone”, and updated its Residential Mixed Use (R-4) zoning standards, both of which increase the density of properties in these areas to encourage the construction of additional residential units in the City, thus increasing opportunities for home ownership.

Goal 4: Removal of governmental constraints to housing development.

Implementation: The Community Development Department updated its density bonus ordinance and R-4 zoning standards, adopted a new Neighborhood Infill Overlay zone and updated its Zoning Ordinance to allow certain housing types by-right, per state housing laws in 2024. The purpose of these updates is to ensure compatibility with the most recently approved state regulations. The City also permitted 15 new ADUs in 2025 and 16 additional ADUs were completed thus encouraging means of providing additional housing opportunities consistent with state law.

Goal 5: Promotion of fair housing practices.

Implementation: To provide an equal opportunity for all residents to reside in the housing type of their choice, the City prohibits discrimination in the sale or rental of housing with regard to race, color, religion, disability, income, age, gender, or any other arbitrary factor.

In addition, in 2025, the Port Hueneme Housing Authority assisted 260 households with Housing Choice vouchers in the City (the City is allotted 283 vouchers in total), thus providing the voucher recipients with the means for housing opportunities of their choice.

Agenda Item No. 13 Page 26 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
City of Port Hueneme
2025 Annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Report 22 The Housing Element also contains 21 programs to be implemented to further achieve the housing goals discussed above. With the adoption of the amendments to the Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map in 2024, as discussed above, all 21 of the programs are now partially or completely complied with, as discussed below:

Program 1: Code Enforcement and Property Maintenance
Port Hueneme is committed to ensuring that housing is consistent with property maintenance requirements of the City and the Uniform Housing Code to protect the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the City and to provide an orderly means of eliminating conditions and blighting influences that cause neighborhood deterioration.

Emphasis will be placed on property maintenance, landlord training, resident safety, eradication of substandard building conditions and abatement of inoperative and abandoned vehicles. Maintenance and upkeep of property is pursued through neighborhood canvassing, systematic inspections, and response to citizen complaints.

Implementation: In 2025, 428 Code Compliance cases were processed, primarily relating to a variety of property maintenance and blighting influences (i.e. overgrown vegetation, debris and unpermitted construction), but also to overcrowding in several instances.

Program 2: Preservation of At-Risk Affordable Housing
The Port Hueneme Housing Authority owns and operates a thirty-unit housing complex which is restricted to low-income residents. The long-term affordability is secure and not considered to be at-risk. The Housing Successor Agency owns and operates an eightunit apartment complex designated for very low-income renters. The Agency also operates one five-unit apartment building and four duplexes on Jane Drive for low-income residents, and two additional duplexes on Jane Drive are currently owned by the Surplus Property Authority and designated for low-income residents.

Hueneme Housing Inc., owns and operates the Mar Vista Apartments consisting of sixtyaffordable units, designated for senior and disabled residents. The property is under a twenty (20) year affordability contract with HUD, which is set to expire October 2045.

Implementation: Currently, the City does not receive CDBG funding from the County but will continue to monitor and track funding availability should it be made available for projects such as the preservation of affordable units in the City.

Program 3: Rehabilitation of Owner-Occupied Housing
The need for rehabilitation assistance is increasing as the City’s housing stock ages. The City will provide financial assistance to lower income homeowners to rehabilitate or make accessibility improvements to the homes they occupy. The City will continue to implement the Home Maintenance Incentive Rebate Program (HMIRP) and improve funding sources. The HMIRP is a system of cash grants paid to eligible residential property owners who undertake certain property improvements in accordance with the City’s Neighborhood Preservation Program Guidelines. The amount of each grant is based Agenda Item No. 13 Page 27 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
City of Port Hueneme
2025 Annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Report 23 upon a percentage of the total verified amount spent by the owner on eligible property improvements. Eligible work under the HMIRP is limited to improvements that are visible from the public right-of-way and enhance the exterior appearance of the property.

Implementation: In 2025, 10 loans remained outstanding and while there was interest from homeowners for potential projects, no new loans were processed for a variety of residential property improvement projects.

Program 4: Acquisition, Rehabilitation, and Retention of Rental Housing Many duplex and small apartment buildings in the City continue to be used as rental housing among lower- and moderate-income households. The City will continue to provide assistance to preserve the existing stock of lower- and moderate-income rental housing through purchase or rehabilitation assistance. This can be accomplished in the form of loans, grants, and/or rebates to owners of rental properties to make needed repairs and rehabilitation or acquiring and rehabilitating rental housing that is substandard, deteriorating or in danger of being demolished.

Implementation: In 2025, 10 loans remained outstanding and while there was interest from homeowners for potential projects, no new loans were processed for a variety of residential property improvement projects.

Program 5: Rezone Program to Accommodate the RHNA
Port Hueneme has been allocated a RHNA of 125 units for the 2021-2029 planning period (26 very low income, 16 low income, 18 moderate income, and 65 above moderate income units). With units entitled and under review, anticipated ADUs, and underutilized sizes with appropriate land use and zoning designations, the City has adequate capacity for its moderate and above moderate income RHNA, with a remaining lower income RHNA of 37 units. The Site Inventory included five sites that required rezoning to be consistent with the land use designation and provide adequate sites to accommodate the RHNA and provide additional buffer should a net loss occur. Government Code 65583(c)(1)(A) states that rezoning of those sites, including adoption of minimum density and development standards, for jurisdictions with an eight-year housing element planning period pursuant to Section 65588, shall be completed no later than three years after either the date the housing element is adopted pursuant to subdivision (f) of Section 65585 or the date that is 90 days after receipt of comments from the department pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 65585, whichever is earlier, unless the deadline is extended pursuant to subdivision (f). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for a local government that fails to adopt a housing element that the department has found to be in substantial compliance with this article within 120 days of the statutory deadline in Section 65588 for adoption of the housing element, rezoning of those sites, including adoption of minimum density anddevelopment standards, shall be completed no later than one year from the statutory deadline in Section 65588 for adoption of the housing element.

To accommodate the City’s remaining shortfall RHNA for 37 lower income units, to Agenda Item No. 13 Page 28 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
City of Port Hueneme
2025 Annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Report 24 maintain adequate sites for all income groups throughout the eight-year planning period, and to provide a sufficient buffer, the City will rezone 1.1 acres (5 parcels) from R-2 Limited Multi-Family to R-3 Multi-Family and 7.7 acres (7 parcels) from C-1 Commercial to R-4 Mixed Use consistent with the Site Inventory, consistent with Government Code 65583(c)(1)(A). All of the identified sites permit housing units with at least 16 units per acre. The site inventory allocated 24 units of lower income housing in the inventory to existing projects and on residential sites which is over 50 percent of the lower income housing need. In addition, the remainder of the units are identified on mixed-use sites upon which the City allows 100 percent residential uses. Therefore, the City can accommodate its RHNA allocation in compliance with provisions required by Government Code section 65583(c)(1) and 65583.2(h) and (i).

The City will further implement a monitoring program that evaluates the current capacity of housing sites for all income levels throughout the duration of the planning period. The City commits to internally tracking the City’s available housing sites to ensure the City remains on track towards satisfying its RHNA target. Should an approval of development result in fewer units than assumed in this Housing Element for meeting RHNA requirements (for lower-, moderate-, or above moderate-income households), the City will identify and, if necessary, rezone sufficient sites within 180 days to accommodate the shortfall and ensure “no net loss” in capacity to accommodate the RHNA.

Implementation: On November 18, 2024, the City Council approved the rezoning of the properties identified in the Site Inventory from General Commercial (C-1) to Mixed Use Residential (R-4) and from Limited Multi-family (R-2) to Multi-Family (R-3). At the same time, the City Council also approved a comprehensive update to the R-4 zoning standards, which among other items, included a minimum residential density of 20 units per acre and incentives to enable an increase the maximum density from 25 units per acre to 30 units per acre. The Ordinance may be viewed online at: https://www.ci.porthueneme.ca.us/DocumentCenter/View/8610/Ordinance-No-821---ZoningStandards?bidId=.

Program 6: Sites Used in Previous Planning Period
In 2017, AB 879 and AB 1397 were passed requiring additional analysis and justification of the sites included in the sites inventory of the City’s Housing Element. The Housing Element may only count non-vacant sites included in one previous housing element inventory and vacant sites included in two previous housing elements if the sites are subject to a program that allows affordable housing by right. The sites along Pleasant Valley Road and San Pedro Street were used in previous cycles and this program is included to address the by-right approval requirement. Per AB 1397, the use by right of these sites during the planning period is restricted to developments in which at least 20 percent of the units in the development are affordable to lower income households, provided that these sites have sufficient water, sewer, and other dry utilities available and accessible or that they are included in an existing general plan program or other mandatory program or plan to secure sufficient water, sewer, dry utilities supply to support housing development.

Agenda Item No. 13 Page 29 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
City of Port Hueneme
2025 Annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Report 25 Implementation: Several properties located along Pleasant Valley Road were identified in one or more previous housing elements. These included non-vacant sites that were only included in one previous housing element while the vacant sites were owned by the City of Port Hueneme Housing Successor Agency at the time the Housing Element was prepared and therefore, these sites are not subject to Assembly Bill 1397. In addition, none of the sites is larger than 0.5 acres. However, the City intends to declare the Cityowned vacant and non-vacant properties as surplus in early 2025 and offer them for sale to a residential developer.

Program 7: Housing Choice Vouchers
The Port Hueneme Housing Authority administers the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers program to provide rental assistance to very low and low income households.

Under SB 329 and SB 222, all landlords in California are required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and other forms of rental assistance and to consider them as part of an applicant’s income.

Implementation: In 2025, the Port Hueneme Housing Authority assisted 260 households with Housing Choice vouchers in the City.

Program 8: Small Lot Consolidation and Missing Middle Housing To expand opportunities for additional affordable housing, the City will encourage the consolidation of small parcels to facilitate larger-scale redevelopments that are compatible with existing neighborhoods and can accommodate more housing units, including lower income units. Also, the City will implement a missing middle housing overlay and the promotion of lot splits to develop more affordable and diverse range of housing options. The missing middle housing would provide diverse housing options, such as duplexes, fourplexes, cottage courts, and multiplexes, into the existing older residential neighborhoods. These housing options could occur within existing residential lots or could through small lot consolidation.

Implementation: On December 16, 2024, the City Council approved a missing middle housing overlay zone, the “Neighborhood Infill Overlay” (NIO) zone. The Ordinance may be viewed online at: https://www.ci.porthueneme.ca.us/DocumentCenter/View/8603/Ordinance-No-822---NIO-OverlayStandards?bidId=. Additionally, staff is working with an affordable housing developer on the potential sale and consolidation of the City-owned properties located along Pleasant Valley Road.

Program 9: Inclusionary Housing
Port Hueneme’s Inclusionary Housing ordinance requires housing development of ten or more units within the Coastal Zone to include affordable housing or pay in lieu fees.

Through the ordinance the City has facilitated the development of affordable housing for Agenda Item No. 13 Page 30 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
City of Port Hueneme

The current ordinance applies to housing projects within the Coastal Zone. The City will update Section 10804 of the Zoning Code to include all areas of the City.

Implementation: On November 4, 2024, the City Council approved an ordinance to apply the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance city-wide. The Ordinance may be viewed online at: https://www.ci.port-hueneme.ca.us/DocumentCenter/View/8539/OrdinanceNo-817---Housing-Regulations?bidId=.

Program 10: Pursue State and Federal Funding Sources
The City will actively pursue appropriate federal and State funding sources, including CDBG, Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC), Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA), CalHome funds, HUD HOME funds, and other grant sources provided by the State, to support the efforts of non-profit and for-profit developers to meet new construction and rehabilitation needs of extremely low-, very low-, low-, and moderate-income households as well as special needs populations. The City will periodically review available housing programs to identify additional funding sources.

The City is committed to maintaining and monitoring housing amongst vulnerable and extremely low-, very low-, and low-income populations. Lower-income communities along with the elderly and persons with disabilities are disproportionately burdened with poorer housing conditions. Port Hueneme will continue to seek new funding opportunities as well as new partnerships to greater improve housing conditions and provide new affordable housing. The City will work to identify and partner with advocacy groups such as Habitat for Humanity to expand existing resources and help further improve housing conditions amongst the vulnerable and low-income communities.

Implementation: The City continues to search for grant funding to implement Housing Element programs and has supported the Housing Trust Fund of Ventura County as funds are available. The City is actively exploring a potential future affordable housing project with Habitat for Humanity.

Program 11: Homebuyer Education and Assistance
The California Housing Finance Agency (CHFA) has mortgage programs and tools for first time home buyers, such as the Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) program. The MCC Program is targeted to low- and moderate-income first-time home buyers. The MCC is a tax credit that increases the amount a buyer can qualify to borrow and increases the buyer’s take-home pay by reducing federal income taxes. The City will promote and have resources available for homebuyers.

Implementation: The City has updated its website to promote and have resources available for homebuyers, which may be viewed online at: https://www.ci.porthueneme.ca.us/435/Community-and-Economic-Development-Depar.

City of Port Hueneme
2025 Annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Report 27 Program 12: Accessory Dwelling Units
In recent years, multiple bills have added requirements for local governments related to ADU regulations. The 2016 and 2017 updates to State law included changes pertaining to the allowed size of ADUs, permitting ADUs by right in at least some areas of a jurisdiction, and parking requirements related to ADUs. More recent bills reduce the time to review and approve ADU applications to 60 days, remove lot size requirements and replacement parking space requirements and require local jurisdictions to permit junior ADUs. AB 68 allows an ADU and a junior ADU to be built on a single-family lot, if certain conditions are met. The State has also removed owner-occupancy requirements for ADUs, created a tiered fee structure that charges ADUs based on their size and location, prohibited fees on units of less than 750 square feet, and permitted ADUs in existing multifamily developments. This program aims to annually monitor provisions made to ADU legislation and amend the City’s Zoning Ordinance as necessary to ensure compliance with State law and improve ADU production in the City. In addition, this program establishes incentives to promote ADU production in the City if affordable criteria are met.

Implementation: Although the City attempted to include provisions in the ADU Ordinance to ensure ADUs were kept at affordable rental levels, the state would not approve the ordinance with these provisions. In addition, with the state’s ADU standards being amended at least annually, it was determined it would be more effective for City staff to refer potential applicants for ADU construction to the state requirements. Therefore, on November 18, 2024, the City Council repealed the City’s ADU Ordinance and staff updated the City’s website to provide current ADU information including directions to the state’s requirements and the City’s ADU development checklist, which may be viewed online at: https://www.ci.port-hueneme.ca.us/435/Community-and-EconomicDevelopment-Depar. ADU production in the City continues to increase, with 15 new ADUs being permitted in 2025 and an additional 16 ADUs being completed.

Program 13: Density Bonus
Consistent with State law (Government Code sections 65915 through 65918), the City continues to offer residential density bonuses as a means of encouraging affordable housing development. In exchange for setting aside a portion of the development as units affordable to lower- and moderate-income households, the City will grant a density bonus over the otherwise allowed maximum density, and up to four regulatory incentives or concessions. The City's density bonus regulations (Municipal Code Section 10803) will be amended to incorporate all recent changes to State density bonus law. Should the State pass additional legislation related to density bonuses, the City will amend its density bonus ordinance as necessary to incorporate all the mandatory changes to continue facilitating the production of affordable housing.

Implementation: The City updated its Density Bonus Ordinance in May 20, 2024 and again, to make a minor amendment per recently adopted requirements regarding definitions for certain types of housing under Density Bonus law on November 4, 2024.

The May 2024 Density Bonus Ordinance may be viewed online at:

Program 14: Housing Replacement
Pursuant to AB 1397 (Adequate Sites) passed in 2017, the City will amend the Zoning Ordinance to require the replacement of existing residential units on nonvacant RHNA sites as a condition of project approval for development. Specifically, sites that currently have residential uses, or within the past five years have had residential uses that have been vacated or demolished, that are or were subject to a recorded covenant, ordinance, or law that restricts rents to levels affordable to persons and families of low or very low income, subject to any other form of rent or price control, or occupied by low- or very lowincome households, shall have those units replaced with affordable to the same or lower income level as a condition of any development on the site. Replacement requirements shall also be consistent with those set forth in the State Density Bonus Law.

Implementation: On November 18, 2024, the City Council passed an Ordinance, amending the Zoning Ordinance to require the replacement of replacement of housing units pursuant to AB 1397. The ordinance may be viewed online at: https://www.ci.porthueneme.ca.us/DocumentCenter/View/8610/Ordinance-No-821---ZoningStandards?bidId=.

Program 15: Mixed-Use Incentives Overlay
The existing standards within the Mixed Use Zone allows for residential development to meet the maximum density allowed. Apartments and condominiums are permitted by right and properties have a lot coverage of 90 percent and limited to no setbacks. In addition, the City has an existing provision in the Zoning Ordinance which allows a height increase from 45 feet to 60 feet for developments in the Mixed Use Residential Zone (R-4) if at least one third of the square footage is designated for residential uses. The General Plan update expanded Mixed-Use land use designations to new locations in the City, including on sites identified in the Housing Element and in a location envisioned as a downtown area. The City will further encourage and incentivize mixed-use redevelopment with residential uses through the use of a mixed-use incentives overlay with development incentives at strategic sites.

Implementation: On November 18, 2024, the City Council adopted an ordinance updating the City’s Mixed Use Residential (R-4) zone standards, which included incentives for additional height and/or density for mixed-use developments for all parcels within the R- 4 zone, rather than just in an overlay area, which included the commercial center located at W. Channel Islands Blvd/N. Ventura Road and the identified downtown area. The property owners of the parcels located in the R-4 zone were notified before and after the City Council hearing of the incentives and other benefits of the revised standards. The ordinance and updated Zoning Map may be found online at: https://www.ci.portAgenda Item No. 13 Page 33 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026 City of Port Hueneme

Program 16: Supportive, Transitional, and Employee Housing and Childcare Program In 2018, Assembly Bill 2162 (AB 2162) was passed which requires that supportive housing meeting certain conditions to be a use by right in zones where multi-family and mixed uses are permitted including nonresidential zones permitting multifamily uses.

Additionally, AB 2162 prohibits local governments from imposing any minimum parking requirements for units occupied by supportive housing residents if the development is located within ½ mile of a public transit stop. The Employee Housing Act requires employee and farmworker housing are also to be permitted similar to single-family residences. The City has amended its Zoning Ordinance to reflect AB 2162 and will continue to seek new supportive housing opportunities in new projects and organizations.

Transitional will also be allowed by right in zones where multi-family and mixed uses are permitted including nonresidential zones permitting multifamily uses. Employee housing serving 6 or fewer employees, including farmworkers, will be treated as a single-family structure and permitted in the same manner.

Implementation: On November 4, 2024, the City Council approved amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to allow supportive, transitional and employee housing by right. The Ordinance may be viewed online at: https://www.ci.porthueneme.ca.us/DocumentCenter/View/8539/Ordinance-No-817---HousingRegulations?bidId=. The City also provided funding to support the preparation of the County of Ventura’s countywide farmworkers survey.

Program 17: Homeless Prevention Program
Port Hueneme is a partner of the Ventura County Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness, which was adopted in January 2019. The Plan was developed to create a communitywide roadmap to prevent and end homelessness in Ventura County and to serve as a guide for Port Hueneme as they make decisions about their homeless population. State law requires local jurisdictions to strengthen provisions for addressing the housing needs of the homeless, including the identification of a zone or zones where emergency shelters are allowed as a permitted use without a CUP, as well as "by right" approvals to certain qualifying navigation centers that move homeless Californians into permanent housing.

Implementation: While it was determined that the City’s regulations for emergency shelters, including parking, were already consistent with the most recent state requirements, on November 18, 2024, the City Council adopted an ordinance updating the City’s Mixed Use Residential (R-4) zone standards, which included standards that allow Navigation Centers as a by-right use in the R-4 zone. The ordinance may be viewed online at: https://www.ci.port-hueneme.ca.us/DocumentCenter/View/8610/OrdinanceNo-821---Zoning-Standards?bidId=.

City of Port Hueneme
2025 Annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Report 30 Program 18: Development Streamlining and Cost for New and Affordable Housing The City will continually review the Zoning Ordinance and other applicable planning documents to address changes in State law pertaining to the streamlining of housing production, including the production of accessory dwelling units, and SB 35 and SB 330 streamlining.

The City charges various fees and assessments to cover the cost of processing permits and providing certain services and utilities. These fees are not considered excessive compared to surrounding communities. In addition to City fees charged at the time building permits are issued, developers are required to impact fees. The City will continuously monitor fees to determine whether they are inhibiting housing production in the City.

Implementation: The City currently typically returns plans for corrections or issues building permits within 15 days of initial submittal and 10 days of a resubmittal, or sooner, for most types of development applications including residential developments and ADUs.

The City will continue to monitor best practices for making this process more efficient and cost effective. The City also streamlined the Planning entitlement process for many types of residential developments when passing the ordinances which revised the Mixed Use Residential (R-4) zoning standards and established the Neighborhood Infill Overlay zone standards, which may be found online at: https://www.ci.porthueneme.ca.us/DocumentCenter/View/8610/Ordinance-No-821---ZoningStandards?bidId= and https://www.ci.porthueneme.ca.us/DocumentCenter/View/8603/Ordinance-No-822---NIO-OverlayStandards?bidId=, respectively.

Program 19: City-owned Sites and Developer Assistance
The City’s Housing Successor Agency owns sites that are suitable for affordable housing development. Through website promotion of the opportunity for affordable housing developer collaboration as well as during meetings with stakeholders, the City will continue to ensure information and assistance is provided about opportunities to develop affordable housing on City-owned sites. The City will also provide information about this available assistance annually to local affordable housing developers and advocates.

Implementation: The City is working with Habitat for Humanity, an affordable housing developer, on the potential sale and consolidation of the City-owned properties located along Pleasant Valley Road. The City has updated its website to promote and have resources available for the development of affordable housing such as through the Trust Fund of Ventura County, which may be viewed online at: https://www.ci.porthueneme.ca.us/435/Community-and- Economic-Development-Depar.

Program 20: Interagency Coordination
Personnel working at Naval Base Ventura County utilize housing in the City. The City will coordinate with NBVC-PH to assure that information on the availability of assisted or Agenda Item No. 13 Page 35 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
City of Port Hueneme
2025 Annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Report 31 below-market housing is provided to all lower-income and special needs personnel. In addition, the Planning Division will annually meet with the local NBVC-PH military offices to discuss current and future housing needs and solutions. The City is also adjacent to the Port of Hueneme which operates truck routes through the City. The City will annually meet with the Port of Hueneme and South Coast Air Quality Management District to discuss potential air quality compatibility issues on housing.

Implementation: In recent years, the City met with the Port of Hueneme to discuss current and future impacts on operations and impacts upon and opportunities for the community.

A meeting to discuss current and future operations and development at the Port is anticipated in 2026/27.

Program 21: Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing
To address the requirements of AB 686, the City has worked collaboratively with Ventura County to complete the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing, which identifies regional barriers and local barriers to fair housing around the City. Methodologies were identified to reduce barriers in the City include continuing efforts to develop ADA compliance rental housing, increasing supportive housing, financial assistance for home accessibility modifications, and outreach.

The Housing Element Technical Background Report includes an Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) analysis which summarizes the fair housing issues and concerns in Port Hueneme based on findings of the 2020 Regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair housing and additional research conducted as part of this Housing Element update.

Based on the outcomes of the analyses included in Technical Background Report, the Housing Element contains a matrix which identifies fair housing issues, contributing factors, and meaningful actions that the City will take during the Cycle 6 Housing Element period (2021-2029) to help overcome the identified issues.

Implementation: As noted above, the City has amended its Zoning Ordinance in several ways to encourage the development of additional residential units and to comply with current state housing requirements, has updated its website to provide information on a variety of housing-related topics, has provided funding for projects and programs, such as the County of Ventura farmworker study, continues to provide support and funding for the rehabilitation of existing residential units and is working towards the sale of Cityowned property to an affordable housing developer, to affirmatively further fair housing in the City.
2025 Amendments: None.

Pending Amendments: None.

Port Hueneme Housing Successor Annual Report FY 2024-25 2 INTRODUCTION
This report serves as the City of Port Hueneme’s (“City”) Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2024-25 Housing Successor Agency Annual Report (“Annual Report”), presenting information on expenditures and activities as required by Health and Safety Code (“HSC”) Section 34176.1(f). This Annual Report also presents information pertaining to certain five- and ten-year planning periods as described herein.

HOUSING SUCCESSOR
The City is the Housing Successor Agency (“Housing Successor”) to the former Port Hueneme Redevelopment Agency (“Agency”), which was dissolved like all other redevelopment agencies statewide in 2012. At the time of dissolution, a housing successor was to be selected to transfer and be responsible for the remaining assets and liabilities of a former redevelopment agency. The City elected to be the Housing Successor by adoption of Resolution No. 4002 dated January 11, 2012. The Housing Successor is responsible for maintaining housing assets transferred from the former Agency. Its main goal is to provide affordable housing for City residents with these remaining assets, until they areexhausted.

SCOPE OF THIS HOUSING SUCCESSOR ANNUAL REPORT
This Annual Report is limited to the City’s activities as it relates to its role as a housing successor, rather than all housing functions of the City in general. This Annual Report describes compliance with various annual, five-year, and ten-year housing expenditure and production requirements. The past five-year compliance period began on July 1, 2019, and ended June 30, 2024; FY 2023-24 was the fifth year of the last five-year compliance period. After June 30, 2024, Housing Successors in California concluded their second five-year compliance period and transition into the third reporting cycle, which covers the period from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2029. FY 2024-25 is the first year of the next five-year compliance period.

The Annual Report is due to the State of California (“State”) Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) by April 1 annually and must be accompanied by an independent financial audit.

The City’s audited financial statements will be posted on the City’s website when available. This Annual Report is an addendum to the Housing Element Annual Progress Report required by Government Code Section 65400, which is submitted to HCD by April 1 annually.

Agenda Item No. 13 Page 40 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
Port Hueneme Housing Successor Annual Report FY 2024-25 3 ASSETS TRANSFERRED TO THE HOUSING SUCCESSOR
Upon the statewide dissolution of redevelopment in 2012, all rights, powers, committed assets, liabilities, duties, and obligations associated with the housing activities of the Agency were transferred to the Housing Successor. The Housing Successor prepared a Housing Asset Transfer (“HAT”) Form that provided an inventory of all housing assets transferred from the Agency to the Housing Successor. This included:

1. Real properties;

2. Personal property;

3. Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund (“LMIHF”) encumbrances;

4. Loans/grants receivables; and

5. Deferrals.

For the Housing Successor, all items on the HAT were approved by the California Department of Finance (“DOF”) on August 23, 2012. The Housing Successor inherited 13 real properties and 51 loans from the former Redevelopment Agency; over time, these assets will be disposed or retired in accordance with state law and any applicable agreements. It is important to distinguish that Housing Successor assets that were not transferred from the former Agency or generated by or purchased with assets from the former Agency, are not subject to HSC Section 34176.1.

A copy of the HAT is provided as Appendix 1.

BACKGROUND
This Section summarizes the legal requirements for use of housing successor assets that are addressed in this Annual Report.

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS PERTAINING TO HOUSING SUCCESSORS
In general, housing successors must comply with three major requirements pursuant to HSC Section 34176.1:

1. Expenditures and housing production are subject to income and age targets.

Agenda Item No. 13 Page 41 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
Port Hueneme Housing Successor Annual Report FY 2024-25 4 2. Housing successors may not accumulate an “excess surplus,” or a high unencumbered cash balance based on certain thresholds.

3. Vacant properties must be developed with affordable housing or sold within five to ten years of the DOF approving the HAT.

Appendix 2 provides a detailed summary of the reporting requirements that are addressed in this Annual Report.

PERMITTED USES OF HOUSING ASSET FUNDS
Pursuant to HSC Section 34176.1, former Agency assets and the revenues generated by those assets, are maintained in a Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund (“Housing Asset Fund”, which is Fund 213 in the Housing Successor’s case). The Housing Asset Fund replaced the former Agency’s Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund. Housing Asset Funds may be spenton:
• Administrative costs for operation of the housing successor agency. The law allows a housing successor to spend the greater of:
o $200,000 per year adjusted annually for inflation, or o 5 percent of the statutory value of real property owned by the housing successor and the value of loans and grants receivable from the HAT (“Portfolio”), whichever is greater.

The $200,000 limit adjusted for inflation through FY 2024-25 is $270,730 according to HCD. The Housing Successor’s FY 2024-25 Portfolio value was $3,732,340, of which 5 percent is $186,617. This latter amount is the Housing Successor's administrative cost limit for FY 2024-

25. • Homeless prevention and rapid rehousing services up to $250,000 per year if the former redevelopment agency did not have any outstanding inclusionary housing or replacement housing production requirements as of 2012.
• Affordable housing development assisting households up to 80 percent of the Area Median Income (“AMI”), subject to specific income and age targets over a five-year period.

Agenda Item No. 13 Page 42 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
Port Hueneme Housing Successor Annual Report FY 2024-25 5 Five-Year Income Proportionality on Development Expenditures: Any Housing Asset Funds may be spent on development of affordable housing projects affordable to low, very low, and extremely low income households. “Development” is defined as “new construction, acquisition and rehabilitation, substantial rehabilitation as defined in HSC Section 33413, the acquisition of long-term affordability covenants on multifamily units as described in HSC Section 33413, or the preservation of an assisted housing development that is eligible for prepayment or termination or for which within the expiration of rental restrictions is scheduled to occur within five years.”
During each five-year compliance period, at least 30 percent of such development expenditures must assist extremely low-income households (30 percent of AMI), while no more than 20 percent may assist low-income households (between 60 and 80 percent of AMI).

The balance of the funds may be used on very low-income households (defined as households earning between 30 percent and 60 percent of AMI).

The Housing Successor met all the requirements for expenditures by income level in the first five-year compliance period from January 1, 2014 through June 30, 2019 and the second fiveyear compliance period from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2024. The third, and current, five-year compliance period is July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2029.

Note that housing successors must report expenditures by category each year, but compliance with income proportionality limits is measured every five years. For example, a housing successor could spend all its funds in a single year on households earning between 60-80 percent of AMI, as long as it was 20 percent or less of the total expenditures during the five-year compliance period.

Should a housing successor not spend at least 30 percent of its development expenditures for extremely low-income households, or exceeds the amount spent on low-income households, future expenditures are subject to greater restriction until these proportionality targets are met.

Specifically, if a housing successor is unable to spend at least 30 percent of its development expenditures on extremely low units, it is required to increase this spending to 50 percent until compliant with the 30 percent threshold; a housing successor that spends more than 20 percent of its development expenditures on low-income units cannot spend any further funds on low-income developments until it is at or below the 20 percent threshold.

Agenda Item No. 13 Page 43 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
Port Hueneme Housing Successor Annual Report FY 2024-25 6 As such, tracking these expenditures and their progress over the corresponding five-year period is an important function of this Annual Report.

Ten-Year Age Proportionality: If more than 50 percent of the total aggregate number of rental units produced by the city, housing successor, or former redevelopment agency during the past 10 years are restricted to seniors, the housing successor may not spend more Housing Asset Funds on senior rental housing.

It is important to stress that Housing Successor expenditure and production requirements are measured on different timeframes:
• One-Year Limits: Administrative Allowance and Homeless Prevention Allowance. Compliance evaluated annually and resets every year.
• Five-Year Limit: Expenditures by Income Level. Compliance evaluated over a fixed five-year period set by law, the current period being July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2029. • Ten-Year Limit: Number of Senior Deed-Restricted Units Assisted. Compliance evaluated based on a rolling 10-year period that is different every year.

Appendix 3 describes Housing Asset Fund expenditure requirements in more detail, including the types of costs eligible in each category.

LIMITS ON THE ACCUMULATION OF HOUSING FUNDS (EXCESS

SURPLUS)
State law limits how much cash a housing successor may retain and, if it fails to commit and spend these dollars in a reasonable timeframe, ultimately penalizes the housing successor by requiring unspent funds to be transferred to HCD for use on State housing programs.

HSC Section 34176.1(d) establishes a limit, known as an “excess surplus” on the amount of unencumbered Housing Asset Funds based on the greater of the following:
• $1,000,000, or
• The total amount of deposits made into the Housing Asset Fund over the preceding four years.

Agenda Item No. 13 Page 44 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
Port Hueneme Housing Successor Annual Report FY 2024-25 7 Only amounts in excess of this threshold are considered an excess surplus. Once an excess surplus is determined, a housing successor must account for these funds separately and encumber said monies within three years. If after the third year the excess surplus has not been fully encumbered, the remaining balance of the excess surplus is to be transferred to HCD within 90 days. HCD is permitted to use these transferred excess surplus funds anywhere in the State under its Multifamily Housing Program or the Joe Serna, Jr. Farmworker Housing Grant Program.

As part of the Annual Report, a housing successor must disclose any excess surplus and describe the housing successor’s plan for eliminating this excess surplus.

REAL PROPERTY AND DISPOSITION STATUS
HSC Section 34176(e) requires that all real properties acquired by the Former Redevelopment Agency prior to February 1, 2012 and transferred to the Housing Successor be developed for affordable housing purposes or disposed of within five years from the date DOF approved the HAT, or August 23, 2017 in the Housing Successor’s case. The law allows for a five-year extension via adoption of aresolution.

The Former Redevelopment Agency transferred 13 real properties to the Housing Successor, eight of which were already developed with 24 housing units, including one currently vacant triplex. All of the existing units, with the exception of the triplex at 241 E. Port Hueneme Road, are to remain as they currently exist. The triplex is to be demolished and the land sold for commercial, residential or mixed use; however, they will be replaced with three new low-income units.

Agenda Item No. 13 Page 47 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
Port Hueneme Housing Successor Annual Report FY 2024-25 10 The vacant building, located at 245 E. Port Hueneme Road, needs major repair before it can be occupied again. It was assessed as a potential historic resource in 2010 and was found to be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places or the California Register of Historical Resources, and is potentially eligible for designation as a City of Port Hueneme landmark. The five vacant land properties on have been included in the City’s efforts to sell and develop properties throughout the City over the last several years.

On October 30, 2020, the Housing Successor sold the property located at 155 West C Street to Habitat for Humanity for $226,000. On the site, Habitat for Humanity developed five low-income for-sale townhomes with 40-year low-income covenants.

COMPLIANCE WITH EXPENDITURE & PRODUCTION LIMITS
During FY 2024-25, the Housing Successor complied with all annual and five- to ten-year planning period requirements as described in this section.

PROPORTIONALITY REQUIREMENTS
The Housing Successor fully complied with all Housing Asset Fund spending restrictions in FY 2024-25:
• Administrative costs of $97,996 did not exceed the $186,617 maximum amount for FY 2024-25. • No homeless prevention or rapid rehousing expenses were made in FY 2024-25. • No affordable housing development-related expenditures were made in FY 2024-25. Therefore, none of the five-year compliance period income targets are applicable.

The Housing Successor will ensure it continues to meet all expenditure requirements going forward, throughout this five-year compliance period of July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2029, and future five-year compliance periods.

SENIOR RENTAL HOUSING LIMIT COMPLIANCE
This Annual Report must include an accounting of deed-restricted senior rental units that were produced over the last 10 years. The Housing Successor may use Housing Asset Funds to assist no more than 50% of the aggregate total number of senior housing units produced by either the City or Former Redevelopment Agency during the past 10 years. Exceeding this limitation will prohibit the use of Housing Agenda Item No. 13 Page 48 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
Port Hueneme Housing Successor Annual Report FY 2024-25 11 Asset Funds to subsidize any senior rental units until the Housing Successor no longer exceeds the limitation.

The City and Former Redevelopment Agency have not assisted any deed-restricted rental units in the last 10 years. Thus, the Housing Successor may subsidize senior rental units in the future; however, it must ensure that no more than 50% of the total aggregate number of rental units at all affordability levels produced within the preceding 10 years are restricted to seniors.

EXCESS SURPLUS
The Housing Asset Fund may not accumulate an “excess surplus”, or an unencumbered amount that exceeds the greater of $1 million, or the sum of deposits in the prior four fiscal years. This requirement ensures that housing successors are actively spending available Housing Asset Funds on affordable housing. Table 4 below shows the Housing Successor’s excess surplus calculation for FY 2024-25.

Based on the calculation shown in Table 4, the unencumbered portion of the FY 2023-24 beginning balance is less than the aggregate amount deposited into the account during the preceding four fiscal years (which exceeds one million dollars). Thus, the Housing Successor does not have an excess surplus.

OTHER INFORMATION

TRANSFERS TO OTHER HOUSING SUCCESSORS
There were no transfers to another housing successor entity for a joint project pursuant to HSC Section 34176.1.

HOMEOWNERSHIP UNIT INVENTORY
AB 1793 requires the Housing Successor’s annual report to include an inventory of homeownership units assisted by the Former Redevelopment Agency or the Housing Successor that are subject to covenants or restrictions or to an adopted program that protects the Former Redevelopment Agency’s investment of moneys from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund.

The Former Redevelopment Agency issued 19 down payment assistance (HOME Program) loans and 3 rehabilitation loans that are outstanding as of June 30, 2025. However, there are no covenants or Agenda Item No. 13 Page 50 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
restrictions on these loans. Buyers and owners undertaking property rehabilitation were required to be of low or moderate income at the time the loans were issued.

REDEVELOPMENT SUCCESSOR AGENCY DISSOLUTION
The City of Port Hueneme formally dissolved the Successor Agency to the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Port Hueneme (Successor Agency). The Successor Agency met the conditions per HSC Section 34187 (b) and satisfied all enforceable obligations and disposed of all real property pursuant to HSC Section 34181 or 34191.4.

Expense Category Limits Allowable Uses
Income
Targets
Fixed Five-Year
Compliance
Period
Every five years (currently FYs 2020-2024), Housing Asset Funds must meet income targets:
• At least 30 percent on extremely low income rental
households (up to 30 percent AMI or “Area Median
Income”)
• No more than 20 percent on low income households (60-80 percent AMI)
(FY 2019-20 to
2023-24) Moderate and above moderate income households may not be assisted (above 80 percent AMI).

Failure to comply with the extremely low income requirement in any five-year compliance period will result in having to ensure that 50 percent of remaining funds be spent on extremely low income rental units until in compliance.

Exceeding the expenditure limit for low households earning between 60-80 percent AMI in any five-year reporting period will result in not being able to expend any funds on these income categories until in compliance.

Age Targets
Rolling TenYear Period
For the prior ten years (resets every year), a maximum of 50 percent of deed-restricted rental housing units assisted by the Housing Successor or its host jurisdiction may be restricted to seniors.

If a housing successor fails to comply, Housing Asset Funds may not be spent on deed-restricted rental housing restricted to seniors until in compliance.

Agenda Item No. 13 Page 64 of 64 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
DATE: March 16, 2026
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: James Vega, City Manager
SUBJECT: OUT OF STATE TRAVEL REQUEST AND COUNCIL DIRECTION FOR

REGIONAL DEFENSE PARTNERSHIP LOBBYING TRIP TO
WASHINGTON, D.C.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Consider the request for out of state travel from Sunday, April 19, 2026, through Thursday, April 23, 2026, for Primary Representative Mayor McQueen-Legohn to attend the Regional Defense Partnership (RDP) lobbying trip to Washington, D.C. in support of the Naval Base Ventura County, Point Mugu and Port Hueneme using individual Councilmember budgeted funds.

2. Consider the request for out of state travel from Sunday, April 19, 2026, through Thursday, April 23, 2026, for Alternate Representative Mayor Pro Tem Laura Hernandez, to attend the Regional Defense Partnership (RDP) lobbying trip to Washington, D.C. in support of the Naval Base Ventura County, Point Mugu and Port Hueneme using individual Councilmember budgeted funds.

3. Provide direction to the City’s RDP representatives regarding any desired goals or talking points for these meetings.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

The City’s Travel Policy (Administrative Policy and Procedure C-005) Section 1, subsection c. states, “Out of State travel requires prior Council approval.” Mayor McQueen-Legohn serves as the Primary Representative and Mayor Pro Tem Hernandez serves as the Alternate Representative of the City on the Regional Defense Partnership (RDP) Board. RDP will be going on a lobbying trip in support of the Naval Base Ventura County, Point Mugu and Port Hueneme. The trip will take place from April 19 through 23, 2026 (departure: April 19, 2026 / return: April 23, 2026). The purpose of the event is to participate in lobbying with congressional representatives and federal officials for the needs of additional military programs, infrastructure, and other areas deemed important to military and civilian leaders. In past years, the City has approved attendance by both the Primary Representative and Alternate Representative.

Agenda Item No. 14 Page 1 of 3 CC Agenda 03-16-2026
RDP DC Trip
March 16, 2026

The FY 25/26 Operating Budget included $3,000 for each Councilmember’s annual conference and travel needs.

The RDP trip is estimated to cost approximately $2,500 for each Councilmember.

Based on travel expenses to date, Mayor McQueen-Legohn has $3,000 remaining and Mayor Pro Tem Hernandez has approximately $1,300. Mayor Pro Tem Hernandez has expressed her intent to use personal funds for travel costs that exceed her $3,000 annual allotment.

If the Council supports the travel, it may also wish to discuss talking points and goals for the Washington, D.C. trip at this time.

The City Council’s previously identified goals for partnership with the Navy include:
1) Bringing the Base and City Communities Together: The City Council expressed a desire to bring the Base and City communities together. City staff has worked with Base leadership more closely on recreational opportunities in recent years. Both the City and Base recreation teams have discussed marketing events across audiences.
2) Traffic Improvements and Driver/Pedestrian Safety Campaigns: As one of the County’s largest employers, the Naval Base is a significant source of vehicle trips and could help address driver/pedestrian issues.
3) Streets and Infrastructure Projects and Funding Opportunities: Similar to discussions with the Port – the City’s infrastructure and the ability of the Port and Navy to utilize the City’s infrastructure to meet their goals should provide an opportunity for each of these agencies to work together on funding opportunities that help support the infrastructure that serves all of us. Streets, water, wastewater, and other resources are mutually beneficial. Supporting Infrastructure projects and funding opportunities should be a goal. 4) Collaborate to Support Services and Legislation for military members, veterans, military families: The City’s Legislative Platform commits to support legislation that serves military members, veterans, and military families. The City recently approved a banner project to recognize military members and veterans. 5) Security of the Community (including the City, Base and the Port): There is mutual interest related to security of the community as many base families and employees live, eat or recreate off base. The City, Base and the Port could all benefit from working together on “hardening” the community into the future.

Dredging to ensure access to the beach and Port has also been a prior topic.
