RECONVENE CITY COUNCIL MEETING
The meeting reconvened at 6:00 P.M.
2022 By-District Council Member Election Boundaries
Mayor Barich opened the public hearing and called on Development Services Director Desatnik who introduced Todd Tatum, of National Demographics Corporation (NDC). Mr.
Tatum provided a brief overview of the redistricting process to examine the current district boundaries and how that lines up with the 2020 Census data. He highlighted the following City specific information: Current Total Population is 73,385; Each District population should be roughly 14,680; Current Deviation is 3.60%; The current District Map is considered ‘Balanced’ based on the criteria of the California Voting Rights Act and the City would not need to make changes to the districts. The districts must be substantially equal in population and the draft map, which is based on existing district boundaries has been reviewed for compliance with Federal and State law including the Voting Rights Act and the Fair And Inclusive Redistricting for Municipalities And Political Subdivisions (FAIR MAPS) Act. He reviewed the federal laws, state criteria and listed other traditional redistricting principles, including: Minimizing voters shifted to different election years; Respecting voters’ choices / continuity in office; Future population growth; Preserving the core of existing districts.
Mayor Pro Tem Tejeda requested the Council consider developing a new map which might reflect more balance among all the districts and offer a deviation of less than 3.60%, as seen in the consultant's map. He mentioned that in 2017 when the City was first determining district boundaries, a map was drawn by students and professors from the University of Redlands, and he recommended this map could be utilized as a guide for establishing tighter balances among the districts. Mr. Tatum agreed this was certainly doable and NDC could immediately begin to draw a new map. With no further comments, the Mayor closed the Public Hearing.
Materials for members of the public to utilize for drawing draft district maps and submitting proposed maps to the City are available on the City’s redistricting website, which can be found at drawredlands.org
where the current election district boundary map, demographics and paper mapping tools can be found. The public is invited to submit information regarding their Communities of Interest and proposed district boundaries for the 2021 redistricting process by January 31, 2022, and all draft maps will be published to the website on February 7, 2022. The future hearing date to consider draft maps will be held on February 15, 2022, and for final map adoption by April 17, 2022.

Renaming Shoppers Lane
Council Member Davis recapped events leading to the consideration of the renaming of Shoppers Lane to Al Harris Avenue. Mr. Harris, a long-time employee of Krikorian Theater, was beloved by many in the community. Council Members Davis and Guzman-Lowery fully supported the renaming, not only as a way to honor the man, but also to honor the over 10,000 electronic signatures collected. Council Member Gallagher and Mayor Barich stressed the City should use the highest standards when naming streets and public places. They agreed Mr. Harris was a great guy, but they raised questions whether he was the most deserving of this honor. Mayor Barich put forth the name of Joseph A. Rivera, a Latino and the City's first constable.
As public comment, Robb McDermott stated that he created the petition and collected the signatures. He and Andy Hoder listed various reasons for their support to rename the street to Al Harris Avenue. Phil Courtney added he had spoken with the LOOK theater owner, and they were planning to build a memorial wall for Al Harris. Mario Saucedo, of Common Vision Coalition, and Toni Momberger provided some historical background of Joseph A.
Rivera and urged the Council to consider honoring him by renaming the street in his memory.
Council Members continued to discuss the matter at length with no clear consensus.
On motion of Council Member Denise Davis, seconded by Council Member Jenna Guzman-Lowery, the City Council failed, by roll call vote, to rename Shoppers Lane to Al Harris Avenue.
Vote: 2 - 3 Failed

She listed the specific requirements for public agencies to hold virtual meetings during a proclaimed state of emergency to remain in compliance with the Brown Act, including the requirement to provide a way for real-time public comments to be made. She presented Resolution No. 8291, authorizing remote teleconference meetings by the City Council and all boards, commissions and committees of the City in accordance with AB 361. Council Member Davis encouraged her colleagues to support the resolution to allow the Council flexibility and give the option to attend meetings remotely, while also protecting the public health.
On motion of Council Member Denise Davis, seconded by Mayor Pro Tempore Eddie Tejeda, the City Council unanimously approved, by roll call vote, Resolution No. 8291.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Parking Requirements Downtown Specific Plan
Mayor Barich opened the public hearing and called on Development Services Director Desatnik for details on the proposal to amend the Redlands Municipal Code pertaining to developments standards in the C-3, General Commercial District to allow residential density in accordance with the existing provisions of Measure “U,” and modify the parking requirements for mixed use development and multifamily-attached residential development projects located within one-half mile of a train station. The 2035 General Plan encourages new infill development in the interior core areas of the City and around the three new train stations in particular. This infill development is to emphasize transit-oriented development, of which compact mixed uses (residential combined with commercial uses) play a key role. The proposed amendments will reduce ambiguity concerning density allowed in the C-3, General Commercial zone for the downtown area and modify on-site parking standards for mixed-use projects and residential projects located within one-half mile of a train station. This will better match the actual parking demands of transit-oriented developments. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed code amendment and voted 4 to 1 recommending approval to the City Council.
Council Member Gallagher and Mayor Barich were not convinced the parking demands of downtown development would be reduced, and they expressed concerns that the public will continue to drive their vehicles and will still need to park. Mayor Pro Tem Tejeda wanted to make it clear to everyone that the Council was aware the public considered parking to be a big concern, and he said addressing those concerns was a priority of the City. Council Members Davis and Guzman-Lowery supported the amendments and the transit village concept, built on smart growth through the use of smarter planning and development principles.
As public comment, Andy Hoder did not support the proposals, questioned the math used to determine the projected parking needs and reminded everyone that former Council Member Foster publicly opposed these changes, stating the developers were the ones to benefit. Ruth Cook stressed the nature of finding the right balance between having just enough parking and having too much parking. Brian Seghers stated that parking spaces downtown were already limited, and he was concerned the amendments would favor large developers and place an undue burden on small business owners. No written comments were received and Mayor Barich closed the public hearing.
Director Desatnik pointed out that walkability attracts the public to a downtown area, and he recommended the City better utilize the existing parking spaces and work towards informing and educating the public. City Manager Duggan added the proposals were not intended as a developer incentive but were meant to standardize the actual need with the demand. He said he was planning to direct staff to reexamine the downtown parking situation and provide a report to Council in the next fiscal year.

Resolution No. 8263 Independent Contractor Agreements
Assistant City Manager Boatman reviewed Resolution No. 8263 authorizing the City Manager to approve standard form Independent Contractor Agreements for recreational services and programs, administered by the Facilities and Community Services Department Recreational Division. He explained the change to the procedures will enhance the number of programs offered through the Recreation Division and will provide for a more efficient and timely permitting process. The current process requires that each similar agreement be considered and approved by the City Council. The proposed resolution would streamline this process and allow the City Manager or designated City staff to administratively approve the Recreation Division standard form of independent contractor agreements.
On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Eddie Tejeda, seconded by Council Member Mick Gallagher, the City Council unanimously approved, by roll call vote, Resolution No. 8263, authorizing the City Manager to approve standard form Independent Contractor Agreements for recreational services and programs, administered by the Facilities and Community Services Department Recreational Division; and determined that approval of the resolution is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act.

SUBJECT: Approve Resolution No. 8293 declaring intent to annex territory into Community Facilities District 2004-1 (Annexation No. 26), and determine the proposed project is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the state's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Municipal Utilities and Engineering Director Harris)
MOTION(S):
If the City Council determines that staff recommendations are appropriate, the following motions are provided:
I move that the City Council determine approval of Resolution No. 8293 is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act; and

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council adopt Resolution No. 8293, declaring intention to annex territory into Community Facilities District No. 2004-1, and determine the proposed project is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 02-01-22
28 of 602
DISCUSSION:
The City Council established Community Facilities District No. 2004-1 (CFD) for the purpose of providing certain services which are necessary to meet demands placed upon the City by development. The City Council adopted Resolution No. 8286, a Resolution of Intention to annex territory into the CFD on December 21, 2021. On the Annexation Map for Annexation No. 26, the properties to be annexed were identified as Assessor's Parcel Numbers 0167-091-02-0000, 0167-091-04-0000, 0167-091-05-0000, and 0167-091-08-0000, which were being subdivided by Tract Map No. 20257 into a single family residential subdivision comprised of 207 numbered lots and 7 lettered lots.
The San Bernardino County has assigned new Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) to all the parcels created with Tract Map No. 20257. Therefore, a new Resolution of Intention must be adopted to schedule a public hearing stating the City’s intention to annex the newly numbered parcels into Community Facilities District No. 2004-1 in order that they may be developed and receive the benefit of services which will be financed by the annual levy of special taxes on said property sufficient to pay the costs of such services and costs incidental thereto.
City staff received a petition from Lennar Homes of California, Inc. requesting annexation of its property into the CFD for the maintenance of perimeter lettered lots, retention basins, and street trees within and adjacent to Tract Map No. 20257. When the petition was prepared the Assessor's Parcel Numbers for the property area were 0167-091-02-0000, 0167-091-04-0000, 0167-091-05-0000, and 0167-091-08-0000. This area is now identified as Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 0167-462-01-0000 through 0167-462-33-0000, 0167-463-01-0000 through 0167-463-70-0000, 0167-473-01-0000 through 0167-473-72-0000, and 0167-474-01-0000 through 0167-474-39-0000 as shown on Attachment C. This annexation is for the property located at the northwest corner of Texas Street and San Bernardino Avenue. Tract Map No. 20257 was approved by the City Council on October 19, 2021.
If Resolution No. 8293 is approved, a public hearing will be scheduled for the City Council meeting on March 15, 2022. Approval of Resolution No. 8293 will also rescind Resolution No. 8286 which scheduled a public hearing for February 15, 2022, on this matter.
The proposed project is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as it has been determined there is no possibility the annexation of the proposed project will result in any environmental effect.

Redlands Regular Meeting of 02-01-22
66 of 602
Book excerpt from “Redlands in World War I” by: Ann Cordy Deegan, Maria Carrillo Colato, Nathan D.
Gonzales, and Don McCue (pages 108-110).
Although Gen. Pershing largely resisted French and British requests to place American divisions under their command, there were a couple of exceptions. The 27th (New York) Division was loaned to the British, fighting at Ypres in July and helping break the vaunted German Hindenburg Line on the Somme in September. Serving in the 27th (New York) division was Redlander Ronaldo Rivera, who went by the nickname Babe. The son of famous Redlands Constable José Rivera, Ronaldo left his art studies in New York City to volunteer with the New York Division. Soon after arriving on the Western Front Corporal Rivera was wounded in the left arm by a piece of shrapnel at Ypres. He recovered in time to participate in the massive British and Australian effort to crack the Hindenburg Line on September 27. Nine days later he would write his parents a vividly descriptive letter about his experiences.
It was a drizzly dawn, very foggy about 5:30 A.M. when three blasts from some unknown whistle gave the final signal for
“our over-the-top.” At the second our artillery opened up I wish you could’ve heard it.
Wow! I’ll never forget it – I thought hell had broken loose. Well it was up and at it men, so on, on we went with howls and yells just like so many wild Indians.
Of course about this time with Fritzies looming up in all sides with machine guns, to say nothing about many of my comrades falling on all sides of me, you can imagine I was pretty excited and mad. So I stopped the second, lighted a cigarette which gave me 100% more “pep” and nerve to carry on. I was leading a combat group of about 10 men. The corporal senior who was leading about 2 feet ahead of me was shot through the head, so I was ordered to carry on in his place. Twice before we came to Jerry’s trench we were held up by machine gun nests and fights. Soon we arrived at his trench, puffing like stabbed pigs, jumped in, bayonets fixed, and routed it – ordered the dugout cleared. You ought to have seen the way the devils poured out, about 25 of them, that many about in each. Well they were sent back; we didn’t kill any. We hadn’t much time to linger as we had to follow our barrage. The way the Devils get down on their knees and beg and say Kamerad! Well, I only got a quarter of a mile farther, as we engaged in a terrific encounter with the Jerries in a fight to the death. The trouble with the advance was that the Americans advanced too fast; some of them were killed and wounded by their own barrage. I thought we were going too slow but found out to my chagrin that we were far too much in advance, so we soon found ourselves isolated.
I tried to continue the advance but was driven back each time. Myself and another chap made a forward move from shellhole to shellhole. Zing! Zing! machine gun bullets sang past our heads – one struck my helmet, making a deep dent in it. At this time things were growing more and more serious with each minute. We made a few brief observations to see if we were near any of our men, but we were not. We were cut off and soon to be outflanked, and as sure as the sun comes up we were, within a very few minutes later. I told the rest of the men that we were in for a h____ of a battle and that we must be game and all stick together. No sooner had I said that than I heard loud yelling, singing and threats, and looking up out of one of our shells holes, lo and behold I saw about 50 Fritzies closing in on us, camouflaged with bushes and sticks around their waists and nearly each and every one of them had a machine gun.
There were only ten of us. Imagine standing off a mob more fully equipped than we, at a number of 5 to
1. In another second one of the many bloodcurdling fights for life was at its best. We stood to and let

them have it. We had only two machine guns, but we held our own until all our men but two were killed, myself and a bugler from K company, so realizing our plight we hastened to retreat. We did and as I was going from one shellhole to one farther in the rear, the devil of a Hun shot me with a machine gun bullet in the left leg about 3 inches above the ankle, fracturing the shinbone.
The bugler from K company was shot in the left hand, smashing it quite a bit. By some hook or crook, they must have thought there were more of us and didn’t come to carry-on, so we beat it. We lay from eight A.M. to 9:30 P.M. in a shellhole right in the midst of the Huns machine gun nests. We were found by a band of Australians, whom we Americans think are the best ever; they are wonderful chaps. We were taken to their dugout, kept and fed until the day after, then re moved by their stretcher bearers.
Don’t worry because I am in England now, away from the terrible war and having the best of treatment.
In recognition of his bravery at the Hindenburg Line, Babe Rivera was awarded the Belgian Croix de Guerre, the French
Croix de Guerre and the British Distinguished Service Medal, thereby becoming the most decorated Redlander to serve in World War I. For some reason Rivera did not receive an equivalent heroism medal from his own government. The shattered leg never fully healed and he was awarded a 25% disability pension.

J.A. Rivera: Redlands’ First Constable
By Bobbie Monk
Redlands Daily Facts
May 16, 2009
The law came to Redlands before Redlands existed in the form of Jose Apollo Rivera. He not only became the first constable for the emerging city, but he remained in that elected position for 46 years.
But prior to that stint, and after as well, his life was not totally quiet.
Rivera was born in an adobe home on the Vejar land just north of what is now the city of Pomona. His parents were Jose A. Rivera and Gertrudes Valdez, descendants of Spanish dons. One of his grandmothers, Manuela Duarte, was a descendant of the Duarte family for which the city of Duarte is named. The family moved to San Bernardino and lived on a ranch at what is now 10th Street and Arrowhead Avenue. It was there he attended school, and he learned to plow, herd cows, and ride broncos.
His father died while he was still very young, and at the age of 14, with his mother’s approval, he traveled to Salt Lake City to drive cattle. He also attended school for three winters in that city. In the summer, he drove cattle, moving herds from Nevada to Wyoming. The wild country through which the herds moved were the setting for some exciting times, including twice narrowly missing being massacred by Indians.
Returning to Redlands in 1879, he worked at a variety of jobs. He helped survey the road from San Bernardino to Barstow with Santa Fe survey parties and was foreman of a gang laying pipelines to Moreno (Valley) with the Bear Valley Water Co.
This all occurred around the time Judson and Brown were beginning to lay out the future township of Redlands. He worked on the Stillman Ranch, now the University of Redlands, for two years, then bought a half interest in the first meat market in Redlands. Later, in partnership with his brother, A.A. Rivera, he established the Pioneer Transfer Co.
According to information in “The Golden Jubilee,” published in 1938, Rivera got into a political argument with a candidate for constable in 1888. Rivera threatened to run against the candidate and win. Scipio Craig, editor of the Citrograph, and some other friends heard of the boast and persuaded him to run. He did and received more votes than the other candidates put together. This was in November 1888, just weeks before the city of Redlands incorporated. Rivera was nominated for marshal of the new city, but declined. Later he was urged more than once to run for sheriff of San Bernardino County, but declined, feeling his duty was with Redlands.
Rivera had been elected county constable of the Crafton District before Redlands became a city. A few months after incorporation, Sheriff Seymour appointed him constable for Redlands Township. He was later elected to that post in 1890 and was reelected every four years thereafter until he retired in 1935. retired in 1935. There were no cars with sirens then. Rivera patrolled the city and the mountain areas on horseback, seeking horse thieves, handling domestic quarrels and hunting lawbreakers.

Nathan Gonzales, archivist in the Heritage Room of the A.K. Smiley Public Library, wrote about Rivera in the Redlands Daily Facts in 2004. He noted that in Rivera’s long career of law enforcement, he was never known to have fired his gun in the line of duty, but he brought in the criminals anyway.
In her book, “On the Banks of the Zanja,” Edith Parker Hinkley wrote that there “Would have been more trouble than there was, except the presence of Rivera was in itself a deterrent to wrongdoing. His sturdy form radiated both authority and friendliness and his personality was unmatched for maintaining law and order.” Rivera also served as Spanish interpreter for the city, and continued to do so after his retirement. He also had time then to work in his garden. Rivera was a Mason for nearly 50 years, a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the First Baptist Church.
Rivera was married to Mary Preciado, another native Californian, and they had three children, R.J. Rivera who moved to Santa Barbara and was a salesman for Goodyear Co.; Rolando Rivera, a commercial artist of New York who married Lelane Clark, a Metropolitan Opera singer; and A.E. (Fonce) Rivera of Pasadena, who managed a Nash Shoe Store. Their one grandson, Robert, is the son of R.J. Rivera. Jose and Mary lived for a half century in their home at 308 Grant St. A picture of Rivera, painted by his son Rolando, still hangs in the Redlands Police Annex, the former City Hall, on Cajon Street. Additionally, the award given annually to the law enforcement officer of the year has been named the Jose Apollo Rivera award.
Rivera was proud to say that, throughout his nearly half century of law enforcement, he never arrested a man who failed to vote for him afterward.

City Council/Successor Agency Meeting J. 2.
DATE: 02/01/2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Discussion and possible action relating to City Council compensation and consideration of Ordinance No. 2886 adjusting compensation for City Council Members (Mayor Pro Tem Tejeda) MOTION(S):
If the City Council concurs with Mayor Pro Tem Tejeda's recommendation, the following motion is provided:
Mayor requests the City Clerk to read the title of Ordinance No. 2886.
I move to waive further reading of Ordinance No. 2886 and to introduce Ordinance No. 2886.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council introduce Ordinance No. 2886, increasing compensation for City Council Members effective following the next municipal election.
DISCUSSION:
Government Code section 36516 permits the City Council to increase salary by 5 percent for each calendar year from the operative date of the last adjustment of the salary presently in effect. The City Council set its current salary at $500 per month in February 1986. Because 36 years will have passed since February 4,1986, Government Code section 36516 permits the Council to increase its salary by 180 percent (36 years x 5 percent) in January 2023. The maximum increase would amount to $900 for a total monthly compensation of $1,400. However, the Council may choose a lower amount if desired. A City Council member may also waive any or all of the compensation permitted by Government Code section 36516.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 02-01-22
72 of 602
Government Code section 36516.5 prohibits any change in compensation during a Council Member’s term of office. This does not mean that a Council Member elected in 2022 must wait until his or her next term of office begins in 2026. Because Council members serve staggered terms, all Council Members would be eligible for an increase following the next municipal election in 2022, even though some Council Members are in the middle of their own terms.
Should the City Council wish to move forward in adjusting its compensation, staff has prepared Ordinance No. 2886 which would increase the compensation for City Council Members to the maximum amount allowed of $1,400 per month effective the first pay period in January 2023. For comparison purposes, staff surveyed cities in San Bernardino County in addition to California General Law cities with similar population to Redlands. The survey information is provided in the attachments to this staff report.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Council could reject this proposed ordinance or set the compensation at a lower amount.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Not Applicable
SUBMITTED BY:
Mayor Pro Tem Tejeda
Fiscal Impact
Discussion:
The proposed ordinance will have no impact until salary increases become effective in January 2023. Thereafter, the City Council's total compensation will increase by $4,500 per month if Ordinance No. 2886 is adopted as proposed.

MOTION(S):
If the City Council determines that the Planning Commission's recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:
I move that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 8292 to adopt the 6th Cycle 2021 - 2029 Housing Element for the City of Redlands General Plan, and an Addendum to the previously-certified 2035 General Plan Environmental Impact Report.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 02-01-22
78 of 602
RECOMMENDATION:
On January 11, 2022, the Planning Commission reviewed the revised Draft Housing Element Update (including revisions as requested by HCD) and adopted Resolution No. 1565 recommending that the City Council adopt the 2021-2029 Housing Element. The Commission also recommended adoption of the proposed Addendum to the previously-certified General Plan Environmental Impact Report. If the City Council determines that the Planning Commission's recommendation is appropriate, staff recommends that City Council adopt Resolution No. 8292.
DISCUSSION:
The Housing Element is one of seven (7) mandatory elements of a General Plan, as required by State law. As a component of the City of Redlands General Plan, the Housing Element Update presents a comprehensive set of housing policies and actions for the current planning period of 2021 through 2029 (October 15, 2021 – October 15, 2029). It builds on an assessment of the housing needs and evaluates housing programs, available land, and constraints on housing production (building on the 5th Cycle Housing Element). This 6th Cycle Housing Element retains many of the goals, policies, and relevant implementation programs that were previously adopted. The Housing Needs Assessment contains updated statistics and analyses based on data from the 2010 U.S.
Census and the American Community Survey, as well as a revised inventory of sites to meet the Regional Housing Needs Assessment. New updates for the 6th Cycle include analysis pertaining to compliance with AB 686, known as Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH).
A) Analysis
The 6th Cycle 2021-2029 Housing Element update (the “project”) was prepared by Michael Baker International, the City’s contracted consulting firm, in close collaboration with City staff. The 6th Cycle Housing Element identifies and establishes housing policies with respect to meeting the housing needs of existing and future residents in Redlands. It establishes housing policies that will guide City decision-making and sets forth an action plan to implement the City’s housing goals over the next eight years. A copy of the draft Housing Element attached to this report (see Attachment A
).
The project addresses the following topics as required by State law:
Population growth and employment trends;
Household characteristics;
Housing costs and vacancy rates;
Inventory of available sites for housing;
Redlands Regular Meeting of 02-01-22
79 of 602
Governmental and nongovernmental constraints to housing production; Special housing needs (including seniors, persons with disabilities, developmental disabilities, farm workers, homeless, and female heads of households);
Energy conservation measures; and,
Existing affordable housing developments.
In accordance with State law (Gov. Code 65588(a)), the primary purpose of the Housing Element update is to: 1) review and update, as necessary, the City’s housing goals, objectives, and policies to maintain consistency with and to aid in achieving State housing goals; 2) evaluate the effectiveness of the element during the prior planning period; and 3) review the City’s progress in implementing the current Housing Element. At this time, the State's deadline to adopt the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update (without potential penalties imposed on the City for missing the deadline) is February 12, 2022.
B) Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA)
California’s housing element law acknowledges that, in order for the private market to adequately address the housing needs and demands of Californians, local governments must adopt plans and regulatory systems that provide opportunities for housing development. As a result, housing policy in California rests largely on the effective implementation of local housing elements and identification of land for each jurisdiction’s RHNA allocation. However, the State also recognizes that local governments have no control over the housing market.
Therefore, the State mandate for RHNA allocation is a “planning target” and not a “building quota.” Thus, while the City is required to identify land for housing, the City is not required to enforce actual construction of the units.
The RHNA is an estimate or projection of future housing needs during a specified planning period for all income levels in a jurisdiction, and is required by State law. The State utilizes a top-down process for RHNA allocations whereby HCD distributes RHNA allocations to the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) in each region, and the MPO then distributes the regional RHNA to each jurisdiction within that region. SCAG is the MPO for the Southern California six County regions, and was responsible for allocating RHNA to the City of Redlands.
The RHNA allocation process for the 6th Cycle Housing Element was robust and controversial due to the fact that all regions in the state received significantly higher RHNA allocations from HCD than previous cycles. Consequently, jurisdictions in the State are tasked to plan for a significantly higher RHNA allocation for the 6th Cycle than previous updates. For the SCAG region, the RHNA allocation distributed from HCD was 1,341,827 units. Of that number, the City of Redlands received 3,516 units.
Income Groups and Density Requirements
A goal in planning for housing is to accommodate housing needs for all income groups. Therefore, it is important to understand how all ranges of income groups
Redlands Regular Meeting of 02-01-22
80 of 602
groups. Therefore, it is important to understand how all ranges of income groups are defined. The income groups are categorized by the household income compared to the Area Median Income ("AMI") of the County in percentages. For example, a household making an annual income that is equal to the AMI of the County makes 100% of the AMI. A household making twice the amount in an annual income compare to the AMI would be described as making 200% of the AMI; in contrast, a low-income household would be described as earning between 50% and 80% of the AMI.
In terms of household income levels relating to RHNA, the income groups are defined as the following categories:
Very-low income: Below 50% of AMI
Low income: 50% - 80% of AMI
Moderate income: 80% - 120% AMI
Above moderate income: Over 120 AMI
Furthermore, HCD sets the baseline minimum density requirements for the Low Income and Very-Low Income levels for each county in the State, but allows each jurisdiction to set its own density assumptions for the Moderate and Above Moderate income levels. For the jurisdictions within urbanized areas, which includes the City of Redlands, the default minimum density set by HCD for Low and Very-Low income levels is 30 dwelling units per acre (30 DU/acre). The City must use the State’s default minimum density of 30 dwelling units per acre for the Low and Very-Low income RHNA sites, as was the case for the City’s 4th and 5th Cycle Housing Elements. Table 1 shows the density requirements for all income groups for the City of Redlands.
Income Level / Category Minimum Density (D.U. per Acre) Very-low income 30
Low income 30
Moderate income 12 to 30
Above moderate income 1 to 12
Table 1: Minimum Density by Household Income Category
Table 2 presents the City's allocation of the region's housing needs by income group.
Income Level / Category Number Percent
Very Low (less than 50% AMI) 967 28%
Low (50% to 80%) 615 17%
Moderate (greater than 80% to 120% AMI) 652 19%
Above Moderate (more than 120% AMI) 1,282 36%

Redlands Regular Meeting of 02-01-22
81 of 602
TOTAL = 3,516 100%
Assumptions for Lower and Moderate Income Sites
HCD has the authority to reject RHNA sites proposed by the City if it deems any site to be not suitable for housing development. HCD also has the authority to request that a jurisdiction identify additional sites if it determines the proposed sites are unlikely to yield the target number of housing units (due to various reasons such as the zoning designation, development standards, existing use, or physical constraints such as irregular lot shape). In order to increase the likelihood for the City’s proposed RHNA sites to be accepted, the following assumptions have been utilized for the Low Income and Moderate Income sites. 50% calibration factor has been applied to all parcels in the Transit Villages Specific Plan (TVSP) area due to mixed-use zoning. HCD assumes that due to the mixed-use zoning, the actual unit yield of housing units on a site will not exceed 50% of the allowable density.
All Lower Income and Very Low Income parcels outside the TVSP will be zoned Very High Density Residential (R-3), with a density of 30 DU/acre.
All Moderate Income parcels outside the TVSP will be zoned Medium Density Residential (R-2), except for properties with current zoning that already allows for densities above 15 DU/acre.
Additional Buffer
Recent changes to State law (Senate Bill 166 – 2017) required cities to continually maintain adequate capacity in their site inventories to meet their RHNA for all income levels. In the event that a site in the City's Housing Element land inventory is developed below the density projected in the Housing Element, or at a different income than projected, the City must have adequate sites available to accommodate the remaining balance of the RHNA. If the City does not have any additional capacity within the existing zoning, it must identify and rezone new sites that can accommodate the remaining need. For these reasons, the City is including a buffer of 20 percent above the RHNA requirement in each income category. This is reflected in Table 3 below.

C) Housing Sites Inventory
State Law requires local governments to prepare a site inventory of land suitable for residential development, including vacant sites and sites having the potential for redevelopment. This inventory is then used to identify sites that can be developed for housing within the respective planning period. The City prioritized identifying sites in areas served by existing infrastructure. Proximity to the City’s primary employment centers was also considered during the selection of sites, and compatibility with adjacent land uses.
To meet the RHNA, the City has identified land available for residential development under existing and future zoning. The City is obligated to rezone land to provide for up to 4,219 units (RHNA + 20% buffer) in the near future.
Table 4 summarizes residential development potential for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), pending projects, approved projects, and site capacity. The identified capacity is up to 2,610 Lower-Income units, most of which are included in the sites inventory (not including ADUs, entitled, or pending projects). The City can accommodate 1,094 Moderate income units, most of which are met on sites in the inventory. The Above-Moderate units can be fully accommodated by recently entitled and pending projects, though additional eligible vacant sites are identified to provide additional capacity (buffer), if necessary.

A webmap (click here) was created to
readily show the locations of all identified RHNA sites, and the map has been available on the project website since February 2021 for the public to review and comment.

and comment.
Vacant Sites vs. Non-Vacant Sites
Overall, the City can accommodate 1,760 units on vacant sites, including 682 Lower-income units. Combined with recently entitled projects (80 units) and ADUs (69 units), the City can accommodate more than 50% (or 831 of 1,582) of its entire Lower-income RHNA without relying on the use of non-vacant sites.
The City can fully accommodate its Moderate and Above-Moderate income units on vacant sites, with ADUs, and by approved or proposed projects. Therefore, the City is not subject to the required findings pursuant to AB 1397.
Despite the fact that the City can accommodate most of its RHNA on vacant sites, infill on non-vacant sites presents clear opportunities and capacity for additional residential development (particularly around the planned Metrolink/Arrow light rail stations). The non-vacant sites in the City's housing site inventory have a development capacity of 1,961 units.
D) Evaluation of Housing Programs
Chapter 6 of the Draft Housing Element is an evaluation of current programs that were adopted by the City in the previous 5th Cycle Housing Element. In all, a total of 60 programs were adopted as part of the previous Housing Element Update, and are listed in Table 6.7-1 of the Draft Housing Element document which describes the programs, the target date of achieving the goal and the achievements made, followed by a concluding action of whether to continue, amend, or delete the program.
Chapter 5 of the Draft Housing Element comprises the housing goals, policies, programs, and quantified objectives for the 2021-2029 planning period.
Amendments to State law and guidance from HCD urges jurisdictions to create meaningful programs with concrete and specific actions with objective and measurable performance criteria. A matrix of all proposed programs for 2021-2029 can be found in Section 5.7, Housing Programs.
E) Public Outreach
The public outreach effort for the Housing Element Update began in February 2021. This involved engaging with community members, stakeholders, and the City’s Planning Commission and City Council in identification of housing issues and involved a diversity of people in Redlands in the planning process. The public participation program included:
• An online community survey
• Stakeholder interviews
• Two virtual community workshops
• Two study sessions and one progress update presentation with the
Redlands Regular Meeting of 02-01-22
84 of 602
Planning Commission
• One study session with the City Council
• Focused survey on Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing with stakeholders and service providers
The City heard comments ranging from concerns over affordability, burdens on developers, burdens on service providers, homelessness, access to transit and services, and preference on location of future housing. Many of the programs proposed in this Housing Element Update reflect these topics. The full summary of community engagement activities and outcomes of outreach and survey results are included in Appendix C of the Draft Housing Element.
F) Comments from HCD
The City submitted the draft Housing Element Update to the California Department of Housing & Community Development (HCD) for review and comment on September 15, 2021. After HCD’s receipt of the document on September 16, 2021, HCD held a subsequent meeting with the City on November 12, 2021, in order to further facilitate the review. Upon completion of the review, HCD provided a written comment letter (see Attachment B ) to the
City on November 15, 2021. HCD's comments identified required revisions to the draft document necessary to comply with State law.
G) Revised Draft 2021-2029 Housing Element
Staff and the consultant team have addressed all comments received from HCD for the first round of review. In accordance with HCD’s requirement, a redlined version of the revised document was made available on the project website (click here) in December 2021 to allow sufficient time for the public to review the document prior to any public hearings. Notifications regarding the availability of the revised document were sent to interested individuals, as well as through postings on the City’s social media platforms. Physical copies of the revised Draft Housing Element were also made available at the City Clerk's Office, the One-Stop Permit Center, and the A.K. Smiley Public Library.
H) Public Notification & Public Review
Throughout the preparation of the Housing Element Update, staff has maintained consistent communication with the public by creating a website for the project, regular postings on the City’s social media platforms, issuing press releases, publishing display advertisements in the Redlands Daily Facts, provided periodic updates through a mailing (email) list of interested individuals and stakeholders, and posted information about community meetings at the City’s Planning Division and City Clerk’s Office.
For the Planning Commission and City Council public hearings, display ads were published in the Redlands Daily Facts at least ten days prior to each
Redlands Regular Meeting of 02-01-22
85 of 602
hearing. Notifications were also provided to the public and interested individuals through the City’s offices, project website, social media platforms, and the mailing (email) list.
I) Environmental Review
An Addendum (Attachment C
) to the 2035 General Plan EIR is the appropriate
environmental document for the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update. The 2021-2029 Housing Element will necessitate future amendments to the General Plan Land Use Map as well as the Safety Element. However, the amendments will occur in the future and are not included as part of the scope of this project.
Therefore, in accordance with Section 15164(a) of the CEQA Guidelines, none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred, and an addendum to the 2035 General Plan EIR has been prepared.
ALTERNATIVES:
No alternatives are offered at this time, and staff does not recommend delaying the adoption of the 2021-2029 Housing Element. The deadline to adopt the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update is February 12, 2022, according to the California Department of Housing & Community Development.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This item is related to Objective D-2 pertaining to the implementation of the City’s affordable housing programs.

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THE HOUSING ELEMENT
The Housing Element, a component of the City of Redlands’ General Plan, presents a comprehensive set of housing policies and actions for the years 2021 –2029 (October 15, 2021–October 15, 2029). It builds on an assessment of the housing needs and evaluates housing programs, available land, and constraints on housing production (5th Cycle Housing Element). This 6th Cycle Housing Element retains many of the goals, policies, and relevant implementation programs previously approved. Significant revisions have been limited to the Housing Needs Assessment, which contains updated statistics and analyses based on data from the 2010 US Census and the American Community Survey and a revised sites inventory to meet the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).
1.2 STATE REQUIREMENTS
The California State Legislature has identified the attainment of a decent home and suitable living environment for every resident as the state’s major housing goal. Recognizing the important role of local planning programs in pursuing this goal, the legislature has mandated that all cities and counties prepare a housing element as part of their comprehensive general plan. Government Code Section 65583 sets forth the specific components to be contained in a community’s housing element.
The housing element is required by state law to include:
An assessment of existing housing needs —with an analysis of housing affordability, conditions, special needs and affordable units at risk of converting to market rate—as well as projected needs as laid out in the RHNA;
A detailed sites inventory and analysis that evaluates the jurisdiction’s ability to accommodate its RHNA;
An analysis of constraints on housing in the jurisdiction; Housing programs that identify adequate sites to accommodate the jurisdiction 's share of the regional housing need; assist in the development of housing for very low - and low - income households; remove or mitigate governmental constraints to affordable housing; conserv e and improve the existing affordable housing stock; promote equal housing opportunity; and preserve the at-risk units identified; and
Quantified objectives that estimate the maximum number of units, by income level, to be constructed, rehabilitated, and conserved over the planning period of the element.
1.2.1 Changes in State Law Since Previous Update
The following items represent substantive changes to state law since the City’s last Housing Element or which have been newly addressed in this 2021–2029 Housing Element.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 02-01-22
95 of 602
__________________________________________ 2021-2029 Housing Element
Assembly Bill (AB) 68, AB 587, AB 671, AB 881, and Senate Bill (SB) 13 further incent ivize the development of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) through streamlined permits, reduced setback requirements, increased allowable square footage, reduced parking requirements, and reduced fees.
AB 1763 requires jurisdictions to provide a density bon us to development projects that restrict 100 percent of their units as affordable to lower- and moderate-income households. AB 101 requires jurisdictions to allow “low barrier navigation centers” by-right in areas zoned for mixed uses and in nonresidential zones permitting multifamily uses, if the center meets specified requirements.
AB 686 extends requirements for federal grantees and contractors to “affirmatively further fair housing,” including requirements in the federal Fair Housing Act, to public agencies in California.
Affirmatively furthering fair housing is defined specifically as taking meaningful actions that, taken together, address significant disparities in housing needs and in access to opportunity by replacing segregated living patterns with truly integrated and balanced living patterns; transforming racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty into areas of opportunity; and fostering and maintaining compliance with civil rights and fair housing laws. AB 1255 and AB 1486 seek to ide ntify and prioritize state and local surplus lands available for housing development affordable to lower-income households. AB 2162 and SB 2 address various methods and funding sources that jurisdictions may use to accelerate housing production. Specifically, AB 2162 requires that s upportive housing be a permitted use without discretionary review, in zones where multifamily and mixed uses are permitted, including nonresidential zones permitting multifamily uses. SB 330 enacts changes to local development p olicies, permitting, and processes that will be in effect through January 1, 2025. SB 330 places new criteria on the application requirements and processing times for housing developments; prevents localities from decreasing the housing capacity of any site, such as through downzoning or increasing open space requirements, if such a decrease would preclude the jurisdiction from meeting its RHNA housing targets; prevents localities from establishing non-objective standards; and requires that any proposed dem olition of housing units be accompanied by a project that would replace or exceed the total number of units demolished. Additionally, any demolished units that were occupied by lower -income households must be replaced with new units affordable to household s with those same income levels.
1.2.2 Planning Period
The State of California now requires an update of a jurisdiction’s housing element every eight years, versus every five years with prior housing element planning periods. Passage of SB 375 extended the planning period for housing elements from five years to eight years in order to align them with the r egional
Redlands Regular Meeting of 02-01-22

__________________________________________ 2021-2029 Housing Element
transportation plan (RTP) deadlines. One housing element will now be completed for every two RTPs.
Thus, this Housing Element period extends from October 15, 2021, to October 15, 2029.
1.2.3 Regional Housing Needs Allocation Projection Period A critical measure of compliance with state housing element law is the ability of a jurisdiction to accommodate its share of the region’s housing ne ed—the Regional Housing Needs A llocation (RHNA).
This RHNA quantifies the need for housing in each jurisdiction in a six -county area, including the City of Redlands. In November 2012 , the state approved the Southern California Association of Governments’ (SCAG) RHNA plan, which covers the projection period of October 15, 2021, to October 15, 2029. Table 1-1 presents Redlands’ allocation of the region’s housing needs by income group as determined by SCAG.

1.3 RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER GENERAL PLAN ELEMENTS
The housing element must be consistent with the other elements in a g eneral plan. Redlands’ first comprehensive General Plan was adopted in 1995 and has been amended numerous times since then .
The Housing Element has been comprehensively updated as part of the SCAG cycles. A comprehensive update of the General Plan was adopted in December 2017. This General Plan update provides a planned blueprint for the City through the year 2035. This Housing Element is consistent with the other elements in the City’s current 2035 General Plan.
Redlands conducted a comprehensive update to the General Plan in 2017. During the 2017 update, each element was updated to match existing conditions, reflect community input, and comply w ith recent changes to state laws.
The Housing Element will necessitate future amendments to other elements of the General Plan, in particular, the Livable Community Element, the Healthy Community Element, and the creation of a new Environmental Justice Element. Throughout the planning period, City staff will continue to review any future amendments to ensure they are internally consistent with the Housing Element.
1.3.1 Livable Community Element
The Livable Community Element acts as the City’s l and use element for the purposes of designating the distribution and intensity of land. When the required rezoning is conducted to accommodate the City’s
Redlands Regular Meeting of 02-01-22
97 of 602
__________________________________________ 2021-2029 Housing Element
RHNA, the Livable Community Element will be updated to match the final land use designations. The revised land use element will reflect the City’s rezoning to accommodate the RHNA and will also be amended to add the Transit Villages Specific Plan (TVSP) as a land use designation. Additionally, the element will be updated to identify any disadvantaged “Fringe” communities, pursuant to SB 244, which are currently not defined in the General Plan. Redlands is adjacent to one disadvantaged “Fringe” community, located within what is known as the Donut Hole. It is bounded by Pioneer Avenue to the North, SR-210 to the East, San Bernardino Blvd to the South, and Alabama Street to the East.
1.3.2 Healthy Community Element
The Healthy Community Element meets the Government Code requirements for a Safety Element. As this element has been recently updated, there are no immediate changes that are required. Upon adoption of the Housing Element, the City will undertake the required update to the Healthy Community Element, as required by the Government Code.
1.3.3 Environmental Justice Element
Pursuant to SB 1000, jurisdictions that have “disadvantaged communities” must adopt a new Environmental Justice Element upon the update of two or more elements of the General Plan.
Upon the adoption of two or more General Plan element updates, the City will be required to include an Environmental Justice Element to address the needs and health of “disadvantaged communities,” as defined in the state Government Code. Redlands has multiple tracts that would meet the definition of a disadvantaged community and will thus be required to adopt amendments to the General Plan addressing the needs of central and western Redlands.
1.4 INFORMATION SOURCES
The information for this Housing Element u pdate came from a variety of sources. These include the US Census (2010), the American Community Survey (2018 and 2019), the California Department of Finance, the California Housing Partnership Corporation, SCAG p re-certified housing data, and various City databases.
1.5 PUBLIC OUTREACH
The City of Redlands made a diligent effort to encourage public participation in the development of the Housing Element. Outreach for the Housing Element update began in February 2021 . This involved engaging community members , stakeholders, service providers, educators, a nd the City’s Planning Commission and City Council in identification of housing issues and involved a diversity of people from all socioeconomic and geographic segments of the community. The public participation program included:
An interactive H ousing Element update website launched on February 12, 2021 , linked on the City’s web page, that included a project description, the City’s RHNA allocation, English and Spanish versions of the Housing Needs Survey , an interactive webmap of d raft RHNA sites, and contact information and mailing list sign -up. A link to the Housing Element web page was also provided on the home page of the City’s website.

__________________________________________ 2021-2029 Housing Element
A mailing list registration link for interested parties. An online community survey offered in English and Spanish. The City heavily promoted the surveys through repeated social media postings, email list notifications, project website, and Redlands TV station.
Press releases through the City’s Public Information Officer that included the web link to the Housing Element update website, links to the English and Spanish versions of the Housing Needs Survey, and the project planner’s contact information. The City also posted the project information on social media platforms. The p roject planner sent an email to stakeholders and service clubs in the City about the website and the Housing Needs S urvey. The City reposted the post every week for three weeks. Information was also made available on the City’s TV station and replayed for about four months.
Two virtual community workshops. The website was updated to include information about the community meetings on April 26, 2021, and May 13, 2021. Physical flyers were posted on posting locations.

2 HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT
This section of the Housing Element consists of an analysis of demographic, economic, employment, and housing data that help identify and illustrate the housing needs in the City of Redlands. Numerous data sources were used in updating the City’s Housing Element. The key data sources include:
Census and American Community Survey (ACS) – 2019 5-year estimates Southern California Association of Governments pre-certified housing data California Department of Finance Population and Housing Estimates Employment Development Department, Labor Market Statistics US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data
California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD)
2.1 POPULATION AND DEMOGRAPHICS
2.1.1 Population Growth
Since incorporation in 1888, Redlands has consistently grown over several decades , along with the surrounding areas of San Bernardino County. As shown in Table 2-1, Redlands’ population grew by steady double digits each decade through most of the twentieth century and has more than tripled since 1950.
This rapid growth coincides with the conversion of former citrus groves to residential and other uses and, in turn, a shift in the economic base of the community from predominantly agricultural to service-related industries. Noteworthy, the Redlands population growth has slowed to single digits since 2000. As of 2020, Redlands’ population was estimated to be 73,168.

Table 2-2 compares recent population growth in Redlands and San Bernardino County since 1990. Overall, the County’s population growth rate has exceeded that of the City, due primarily to its larger scal e and amount of developable land. By 2045, SCAG projects that Redlands’ population will grow to 80,800, a 13 percent increase between today and 2045 (i.e., an annual population growth rate of 0.5 percent per year, on average).

2.1.2 Race and Ethnicity
Table 2-3 shows that the racial and ethnic characteristics of Redlands has changed significantly since 2010, with the percentage of Whites and Asians increasing as a proportion of the population, with American Indians/Alaskan Natives, Black/African Americans, Native Hawaiians/Other Pacific Islanders, those of

__________________________________________ 2021-2029 Housing Element
Hispanic/Latino of any race and those of Two or More Races and Others declining as a proportion of the population.
Today, Whites comprise a majority (72.5%) of Redlands’ population, whereas this group represent s 61.2 percent of the San Bernardino County population. Compared to Redlands, the County also has a higher percentage of Blacks/African Americans (8.3% vs. 5.4%) and those identifying as other races (17.5% vs.
7.5%). More significantly, over half (53.3%) o f the County’s population is Hispanic/Latino compared to
32.7 percent in Redlands. Not only did the percentage of American Indian/Alaskan Native, Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander, and Other decrease as a percent of the total City population, but the actual number of persons decreased between 2010 and 2019.

2.1.3 Age Characteristics
Between 2010 and 2019, the population percentage for most age groups shifted, with the later age ranges such as those aged 55+ experiencing the greatest growth. In 2010 , these groups accounted for approximately 25 percent of the population, while in 2020 they accounted for almost 30 percent of Redlands’ population. A few age groups saw slight declines in population —school-age (5-19) and most young adult populations—while the senior population in Redlands grew the most.
Overall, the median age of the City’s population increased between 2010 and 2019 (to 37.2 from 36.1 years old). Whether the City’s population will get older on average depends, in part, on the desire of current residents to remain in the City as they age and the availability of housing and support services that meet their changing needs.

2.2 HOUSEHOLD AND FAMILY TYPES
2.2.1 Household Types
In 2019, there were 24,542 households in Redlands, compared to 24,764 households in 2010, representing a 1 percent decrease, as shown in Table 2-8. Families made up over three- quarters of Redlands’
Redlands Regular Meeting of 02-01-22
107 of 602
__________________________________________ 2021-2029 Housing Element
households in 2019, greater than the percentage as in 2010 (68.9%). “Families ” include married couples (50% of households in 201 9) and other family types, such as single parents with children (19% of households in 2019).
Non-family households accounted for slightly less than one -third of all households in the City in 201 9.
Most of the non -family households were single-person households (23.7% of all households) and about
6.5 percent were households with more than one person in which the household members were unrelated to one another (e.g., college students living with roommates). In the County as a whole in 2019, there was a larger percentage of family households (76%) and a smaller percentage of single -person households (18.7%).
About one third (32.7%) of Redlands households included people age 18 or younger and about 30.9 percent included some age 65 or older. In the County, the corresponding percentages were 42.6 percent (children) and 26.1 percent (seniors).
Between 2016 and 2045, SCAG projects that the number of households in Redlands will grow from 24,400 to 30,800 (a 26% increase), which is slightly lower than the County’s overall projected household growth of 39 percent.

2.3 EMPLOYMENT CHARACTERISTICS
2.3.1 Labor Force Size and Distribution
The City’s “labor force” is the number of residents who are age 16 or older who are employed or unemployed but actively seeking work. They include residents who may be employed in Redlands or elsewhere. The members of the labor force who are employed in non-military jobs are referred to as the “civilian labor force.”
Table 2-9 summarizes the Redlands and San Bernardino County labor force characteristics. It shows that the City had a slightly lower labor force participation rate in 2019 (59%) as the County as a whole (60.7%), and that the City had all of its labor force in the civilian sector rather than in the military. About 3.5 percent of the City’s civilian labor force was unemployed as of 2019. Females accounted for 28 percent of the City’s labor force, slightly more than the County’s female labor force (27.6%).

2.3.2 Civilian Employment Profile
The occupational profile of the City’s civilian labor force is significantly different from the County labor force, as shown in Table 2-10. For example, about 45 percent of employed residents in Redlands work in management, professional and related occupations, about 21 percent in sales and office occupations, and about 16 percent in services occupations. In the County, the top three occupations are management, professional and related (31%), sales and office (22%), and service occupations (18%). Redlands also has a larger percentage of its civilian labor force employed in the public sector (25.1%), and thus a smaller percentage of private wage earners than in the County a s a whole. Redlands’ labor force is more heavily

concentrated in the education, health, and social science sectors of the economy (34.2%) than the County’s labor force (22.1%). On the other hand, the County has larger percentages of its civilian labor force in retail trade (12.9%), manufacturing (8.8%), construction (7.6%), and transportation and warehousing (9.6%) than the City.

2.4 INCOME AND HOUSING COSTS
Affordable housing is key to the economic, social, and cultural vitality of any city. Therefore, one of the principal purposes of the Housing Element is to provide a picture of housing affordability for households of all income levels. It is important to distinguish between the cost of rental versus ownership housing in determining where the greatest housing need exists.
The US Census Bureau is this Housing Element’s primary source of data on household income as well as other characteristics relating to housing, such as rental vs. ownership, deficiencies, and length of residence. The last Census occurred in 2010 and the next was completed in 2020. The decennial census counts all residents in the United States and asks short questions pertaining to residents’ age, sex, race, ethnicity, relationship, and household tenure. Prior to the 2010 Census, a “long form” asking more detailed questions on a wide range of demographic and housing-related topics, was also distributed to a percentage of the population.
The Census Bureau began the ACS in 1996 as a way of providing communities with more detailed information in years when the census is not taken. However, starting in 2010, the Census Bureau eliminated the more detailed “long form” component of the census and moved these que stions entirely to the ACS. Today the survey is conducted in all US communities, sent to a small percentage of the
Redlands Regular Meeting of 02-01-22

population on a rotating basis. One -year estimates are available for all communities with populations greater than 65,000; these are the most current data, but also the least reliable due to smaller sample sizes. Three-year estimates are available for all communities with populations greater than 20,000. Five - year estimates are available for communities of any population; these data are the least current, but the most reliable. Unlike the decennial census, the ACS does not survey every household and therefore provides estimates instead of total counts. However, its large sample size —three million households — provides statistically valid results.
2.4.1 Income
2.4.1.1 Household Income
Median household income represents the mid -point in income for all households in the City, with half earning more and half earning less. According to the 2000 US Census, the median household income for the City of Redlands in 1999 w as $48,155. In comparison, San Bernardino County had an overall median household income of $42,066, meaning that the median household income in Redlands was 14 percent higher. According to the 2019 ACS, the median household income in Redlands was $ 74,839. In comparison, in 2019, the County had an overall median household income of $63,362, meaning Redlands is, on average, wealthier than the County.
To determine eligibility for housing programs, both federal and state governments categorize households according to their income, in comparison to the a rea median income (AMI). The AMI is the median household income for a defined geographic area. AMI is determined by HUD. The following income groups are the standard categories used:
Extremely low-income = 30 percent median or less;
Very low-income = 31 to 50 percent;
Low-income = 51 to 80 percent;
Moderate-income = 81 to 120 percent; and
Above moderate-income = 120 and over.
California only began requesting analysis of households defined as extremely low -income since the 4 th
Cycle Housing Element. While a city is not obligated to include a separate category of sites designated for extremely low-income households in its suitabl e sites inventory, the Housing Element as a whole must analyze the obstacles and needs for this category and include proposed actions and programs to meet those needs.
Table 2-12 shows the percent of City and County residents by income category. Within Redlands, the US Office of Policy Development and Research estimated there were 2,695 extremely low- income households (11% of the total), 2,185 very low -income households ( 9%), 2,750 low -income households (12%), 3,680 moderate-income households (15%) and 12,625 above moderate-income households (53%).
In comparison, the County had a higher proportion of extremely low- to low-income residents (41%) and a lower proportion of above moderate income residents (39%) than the City (32% and 53%, respectively).

2.4.2 Limits for Housing Assistance
HCD releases income limits for every county in the state. The limits correspond to the income categories introduced above, categorized by ranges of household income. State income limits are updated based on HUD updating its Section 8 income limit levels and are adjusted to reflect the following: (1) adjustments to HUD county median income, (2) adjustments to reflect HCD’s Hold Harmless Policy to maintain income category and AMI levels at their highest, and (3) calculation of California’s moderate -income household levels.

2.4.2.1 Ability to Pay for Housing
In general, housing expenses (rent or mortgage payments, plus utilities) should not exceed 30 percent of a household’s income in order to be considered affordable by the federal government. Households that pay over 30 percent of their income on housing are considered “overpaying” and may experience difficulty in paying for other basic necessities. For example, a household making the C ity of Redlands’ estimated 2019 median income of $74,839 that spent more than $1,837 a month on housing (30% of income, divided by 12 months) may be paying more for housing than it can afford.
To truly evaluate housing affordability, individual circumstances and factors must be taken into account.
These include long-term debt, mortgage interest rates, the number of children in a household, and other large, ongoing expenses (such as medical bills). Also, some households choose to pay over 30 percent of their income for various reasons, such as location, aesthetics, or other features. However, it is assumed that households will aim to minimize their housing costs whenever they can. Since it is impossible to take each household’s individual circumstances into account, the 30 percent rule-of-thumb provides a general measure of housing affordability for the average household.

Table 2-14 shows the number of Redlands’ households overpaying for housing as of 2016. In general, the higher a household’s income, the smaller the percentage spent on housing. Also, extremely low- and very low-income homeowners have lower rates of overpayment compared to renters, while moderate and above-moderate income homeowners tend to have higher rates of overpayment for housing (see Table 2-15) . Overall, about 8,170 households in Redlands, or 35 percent, are considered to be overpaying for housing.
2.4.3 Housing Costs
2.4.3.1 Ownership Housing
The value of housing in Redlands has gone up dramatically since 2000. Between 2000 and 2021 , median home sales prices in Redlands increased 339 percent. However, the increases in the nearby cities were even greater during these periods. In 2021 , the median home sales price in Redlands was $516,219.
Overall, Redlands has the highest median home sales price compared to communities nearby.

To get a better sense of the dramatically fluctuating home sale prices over the last twenty years, it is useful to break down housing sales by number of bedrooms. Table 2-16 shows the median home sale prices in Redlands in 2003, 2007, 2012, and 2020.

In general, the median sales price s of both single-family homes and condominiums has increased since 2003, with a dip in sales prices during 2012 during the preparation of the 5th Cycle Housing Element. In 2020, the average price of a 3-bedroom home is approximately 2.25 times more expensive than in 2003.
It appears that the 2012 median home sales values reflect the catastrophic impact of the Great Recession on San Bernardino. The rapid increases between 2003 and 2007 were more than lost and 2012 values sunk below 2003 in most house sizes. Median home sale prices for 1 and 2-bedroom condos have still not fully recovered. Single-family homes values also decreased dramatically , but have more than recovered in all categories, and generally show significant appreciation over the 2007 peak. Generally, the larger the home, the greater the recovery and cost.

2.4.3.2 Rental Housing
In 2019, the ACS reported that the estimated median gross rent for housing in Redlands was $1, 473. In comparison, the 2011 ACS reported a median gross rent of $1,078 signifying a general rent increase of 37 percent (in nominal dollars) between 2011 and 2019. This is a major increase in such a short time, although much less than the rate of increase in homeownership prices. Notably, this data is not differentiated by type of housing or number of bedrooms. Table 2-17, below, compares rents in Redlands to those in nearby cities.
TABLE 2-18: MEDIAN GROSS RENTS IN REDLANDS AND NEARBY CITIES City 2007 ACS 2011 ACS 2019 ACS
San Bernardino $850 $924 $1,103
Highland $909 $963 $1,059
Redlands $1,063 $1,078 $1,473

In 2019, the median gross rent in Redlands was about 14 –39 percent higher than in neighboring jurisdictions. In 2007, the median gross rent in Redlands was 7–25 percent higher; thus, rents in Redlands have increased at a faster rate than those in nearby cities.
While rental statistics are not tracked in the same way as housing sales, it is possible to get a sense of current rents by looking through rental listings. Table 2-18 shows rental prices as posted on Zillow in October 2020. These figures represent asking rents, not actual rents, and not all available rental units are listed on Zillow. Still, many residents do use Zillow to find housing.

Table 2-19 shows rental prices as posted on Apartments.com in October 2020. Like the Zillow data, these figures are asking prices, not actual rents. Furthermore, there may be overlap between the apartments listed on Zillow and those listed on Apartments.com. Still, the median rents compare well between the two sources.

2.4.4 Affordability of Housing
Four-person households earning the 20 21 median income for Redlands ($ 77,500) could afford to spend up to $1, 938 per month on housing without being considered “overpaying.” For renters, this is a straightforward calculation, but home ownership costs are less transparent. A household can typically qualify to purchase a home that is 2.5 to 3.0 times t he annual income of that household, depending on the down payment, the level of other long- term obligations (such as a car loan), and interest rates. In practice, the interaction of these factors allows some households to qualify for homes priced at more than three times their annual income, while other households may be limited to purchasing homes no more than two times their annual incomes. Table 2-20 below calculates the estimated maximum affordable purchase price by household income category.

2. Assumes 30 percent of income available for housing cost.
3. Assumes a down payment of 20%, and 30-year fixed rate mortgage at 6.0% annual interest rate.
As noted earlier, the median purchase price of a home in Redlands in 20 21 was $516,219. This purchase price is too high for all but the highest of household income categories listed in Table 2-20 to afford.
Indeed, households must have an income much higher than 120 percent of the County median to afford a home.
2.4.4.1 Ownership Housing
The California Association of Realtors' 2019 Q2 Housing Affordability index (HAI) reported that 50 percent of the households in San Bernardino County could afford a home selling for the region’s median price. The
Redlands Regular Meeting of 02-01-22

__________________________________________ 2021-2029 Housing Element
indices for Los Angeles, Orange, and Riverside Counties, and with the state as a whole showed affordability levels of 29, 24, 39 and 30 percent respectively, demonstrating that in 2013 housing in San Bernardino County was more affordable than in nearby regions and the state as a whole.
Home sales prices in Redlands, however, are still out of the affordable range for many families. In 2012, the median home sale price was $165,250 for a two -bedroom home and $200,000 for a three -bedroom home (Table 2-16), compared to $345,000 and $499,000 in 2019. According to Table 2-20, a family of four earning 100 percent of AMI would not be able to afford either a two -bedroom or three-bedroom home.
Therefore, although Redlands is perhaps more affordable than some surrounding communities, those families earning less than 100 percent of AMI could find it quite difficult to afford a home in Redlands.
2.4.4.2 Rental Housing
For households that rent, the 2019 ACS estimated the proportion of household income spent on rent. In 2019, as shown in Table 2-21 over 50 percent of renters paid 30 percent or more of their income on rent.
In comparison, the 2011 ACS reported that less than half of renters pay 30 percent or more. The increase in the number of renting households possibly overpaying for housing between 2011 and 201 9 is likely strongly linked to the increase in rent over that same period.
In general, renters in Redlands experience higher levels of overpayment. According to HUD’s 2017 housing data, 48 percent of renters pay 30 percent or more on housing costs, with 24 percent paying 50 percent or more. This is contrasted with homeowners, 24 percent of which pay at 30 percent or more on housing costs, and 10 percent pay 50 percent or more.

Assuming a four-person household would require at least a two or three bedroom apartment, the average of the Craigslist and Apartments.com median rents of $1,700 for a two -bedroom unit and $2,275 for a three-bedroom unit would only be considered affordable to residents whose incomes were at least 100

percent of AMI. Though a family o f four would be considered “overcrowded” in this apartment, an extremely low-income family would not even be able afford this rent. Moreover, there may be no market rate units that are available to many very low- and extremely low-income families.
2.5 HOUSING CHARACTERISTICS
Although the characteristics of individual residents and households are important to understanding the growth and evolution of a city, the more useful unit for analysis concerning housing needs is the housing units.
2.5.1 Housing Vacancies
In 2000, 4.9 percent of housing units in Redlands were vacant. By 2010, 7.7 percent of housing units were vacant.
By 2019 , Redlands had a total of 26,3 69 housing units , 1,827 (7.4%) of which were vacant. The homeownership vacancy rate was 2.0 percent and the rental vacancy rate was 3.9 percent. The balance consisted of units that were rented or sold but not occupied (305), or seasonal recreational, or occasional use (222), or vacant for migrant workers (86).
In terms of vacant units by type, Redlands similar vacancy rates to the SCAG region with the exception of seasonal housing where the SCAG region takes into consideration mountain, desert, and coastal communities that have larger proportions of seasonal housing.

2.5.2 Substandard Housing
Table 2-23 provides a breakdown of hous ing units that are substandard by either not having telephone service, lacking plumbing, or lacking complete kitchen facilities. Redlands leads the SCAG region with housing units having no telephone service available; however, the percentage of households with no telephone service is under 3 percent, and the absence of telephone service does not appear to correlate with housing quality across the City. Redlands has fewer substandard housing units than the SCAG regional in terms of plumbing and kitchen facilities.

Data provided by code enforcement documents that over the last four years, there have been five recorded cases of substandard housing. This leads to an estimate of fewer than 10 units of substandard housing in the City.
2.5.3 Housing Type
Table 2-24 shows Redlands has a greater percentage of single-family detached housing and mobile homes than the SCAG region, but trails the SCAG region in single-family attached and multi-family units.

As shown in Table 2-25, two- and three-bedroom units represented the majority of housing types in the City, though four -bedroom units are also prevalent. Units with five bedrooms or more are very uncommon, comprising just 5.9 percent of the housing stock.

2.5.4 Tenure
Table 2-26 describes the tenure and the type of housing according to the 2019 ACS 5-year estimates. In 2011, there were 18,011 detached and attached single -family units. Duplexes and three - to four -unit buildings comprised 10.5 percent of the total units, and buildings of five or more units 16.7 percent of the total.
In 2019, there were 18,466 detached and attached single -family units. Duplexes and three - to four-unit buildings comprised 9.1 percent of the total units, and buildings of five or more units made up 17.6 percent of the total.
The overall tenure pattern in the City of occupied households was 61 percent owner-occupied, and 39 percent renter-occupied. Redlands' housing stock consists of 26,369 total units, 14,313 of which are owner-occupied and 9,967 of which are renter-occupied.
SCAG considers 2.3 percent to be the minimum ideal vacancy rate for ownership housing and 5 percent to be the minimum ideal vacancy rate for rental housing. These rates are ideal because they allow for a healthy amount of market turnover and availability. According to the 2019 ACS estimates, the 201 9 vacancy rate in Redlands was 3.4 percent for ownership housing, which is above the 2.3 percent vacancy rate considered by SCAG to be the minimum needed for a healthy market. The rental vacancy rate was
3.8 percent.

An analysis of the 2010 US Census data shows that the majority of both owner- and renter- occupied units (81 and 67 percent respectively) were occupied by Whites (Table 2-27). Blacks rented 867 units but owned only 394. Native Americans rented more units than they owned, with 119 rented and 92 owned units.
Asian/Pacific Islanders owned more units than they rented, but only accounted for 7 percent of all owners and 7 percent of all renters. Those who identified as “Some other race,” were more likely to rent (1,219 rented versus 970 owned units), and those of “Two or more races” were about as likely to own or to rent (344 versus 383 units).
Similarly, in the County, a higher percentage of Whites, Native Americans, and those of “Some other race,” and those of “Two or more races” owned than rented units, while a higher percentage of Blacks rented than owned. There were about 800 more Native American owner- occupied units than renter -occupied units. Asian/Pacific Islanders and Whites were both more than twice as likely to own versus rent.

In many places, housing tenure varies substantially based on the age of the householder. In Redlands, the age group where renters outnumber owners the most is 15-24 (by 92.8%). The age group where owners outnumber renters the most is 65 -74 (by 56.5%) . Table 2-28 compares the number of owner -occupied and renter -occupied units in the City of Redlands and San Bernardino County. There were similar ownership and renter trends in the City and County, although a higher percentage of elderly people rent in Redlands (16%) than in the County (9%). Therefore, the demand for senior rental units in Redlands is likely to be higher than the County as a whole.

2.5.5 Vacant Units
In 2000, Redlands had a total of 24,878 housing units, 1,209 (4.9%) of which were vacant. About half (562) of these were for rent, while less than a third (324) were for sale. The balance consisted of units that were rented or sold but not occupied (94), for seasonal recreational, or occasional use (88), or vacant for some other reason (141). The Census reported that Redlands had no vacant units available specifically for migrant workers.

In 2011, Redlands had a total of 26,285 housing units , 2,028 (7.7%) of which were vacant. The homeownership vacancy rate was 2.6 percent and the rental vacancy rate was 8.8 percent. About half (916) of these were for rent, while about one-fifth (403) were for sale. The balance consisted of units that were rented or sold but not occupied (208), for seasonal recreational, or occasional use (163), or vacant for some other reason (338).
By 2019 , Redlands had a total of 26,3 69 housing units , 1,827 (7.4%) of which were vacant. The homeownership vacancy rate was 2.0 percent and the rental vacancy rate was 3. 9 percent. The balance consisted of units that were rented or sold but not occupied (305), or seasonal recreational, or occasional use (222), or vacant for migrant workers (86).
2.5.6 Age of Housing Stock
According to the 2019 ACS, approximately 42 percent of the housing stock in Redlands was built before 1970, and 34 percent was built before 1980. The ACS estimates that 3,678 homes in Redlands were built before 1950 (14% of the total).

2.5.7 Condition of Housing
An overwhelming majority of homes in Redlands are fairly new and do not lack critical features such as plumbing. However, basic maintenance, such as roof repair, new paint, and cleanliness , will need to be continuously encouraged, particularly as a substantia l portion of housing units are older than 30 years.
Deferred maintenance such as old paint, roof sheathing that has outlasted its useful life, localized wood rot, and similar concerns do not typically result in units being boarded up, although such conditi ons do contribute to neighborhood deterioration.
2.5.7.1 Features
Adequate utilities within a housing unit are another measure of a housing unit’s ability to provide people with decent housing. According to the 2 019 ACS estimates, of the 24, 542 occupied housing units in the City of Redlands , 45 units lacked complete plumbing facilities. The Census Bureau defines complete plumbing facilities as including (1) hot and cold piped water, (2) a flush toilet, and (3) a bathtub or shower.
Furthermore, all three facilities must be located inside the dwelling unit. Heating fuel for occupied housing units ranged from gas and electricity to wood and solar energy. Of the occupied housing units in the City, 18,500 had utility gas, 363 had tank gas, 5,018 had electricity, 40 used fuel oil or kerosene, 65 were fueled by wood, 70 used solar energy, and 424 units had no heating fuel.
As of 2019, almost all housing units in Redlands had complete kitchen and plumbing facilities, although at least 221 units lacked an adequate kitchen and 105 units had incomplete plumbing facilities. Because the overwhelming majority of housing units has complete plumbing and kitchen facilities, and are served by utilities, it is unlikely that housing conditions represent a problem that requires government action.

2.5.7.2 Rehabilitation Need
The percentage of units built before 1960 can be used to estimate the City’s maximum rehabilitation need.
According to the 2019 ACS, about 29 percent of housing units were built before 1960.
However, according to the City's Building and Safety Division, many of the older homes in Redlands are in better condition than would be predicted based on age alone, partly because of interest by owners in fixing up historic homes and the City’s robust Historic Preservation policies . Many of the City’s historic homes in the south area are protected to some extent by local historic districts which require staff and/or Historic and Scenic Preservation Commission approval for modifications to the exterior. The majority of repair work is needed in the north area, with a number of units in need of either light repair— such as painting, reroofing, and landscaping —or significant reconstruction. There are no historic preservation districts in North Redlands despite having a large number of homes greater than 50 years of age.
During the 4
th Cycle, the City used Redevelopment funds to address blight in North Redlands. Since the dissolution of Redevelopment, the City has not been able to provide direct rehabilitation assistance during the 5th Cycle Housing Element planning period. It is documented in the City’s permit record that 11 units required substantial rehabilitation and 5 units were unsafe for habitation. All of the 11 units were single- family dwellings.
2.6 ASSISTED HOUSING
Assisted housing projects in the City can alleviate the financial hardships low -income households may face. Assisted housing projects are those that offer financial aid or provide extra services for people in need of financial or basic living assistance. There are a variety of programs, each focusing on a specific need or with a specific goal to eliminate unmet housing needs in the community.
2.6.1 Public Housing
The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) operates 120 units of conventional public housing in Redlands. All conventional units are rented to households with an income of 80 percent or less than the median income for the Riverside-San Bernardino Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area.
2.6.2 Housing Choice Voucher Program
In addition to operating publ ic housing, the Housing Authority administers the HUD Housing Choice Voucher Program. Formerly, the County operated both a voucher and certificate programs. However, the certificate program ended as of 1999. Under the Housing Choice Voucher Program, the Housing Authority makes subsidy payments to property owners on behalf of the family. The program uses a Payment Standard to determine the maximum amount of assistance that will be paid on behalf of the family. The family's portion will be a minimum of 30 percent of their adjusted gross monthly income up to a maximum of 40 percent if they choose. HACSB administers the Housing Services programs that include the Housing Choice Voucher and Five-Year Lease Assistance programs. Participants on these programs may choose the city/community in which they wish to reside within San Bernardino County. As of 2019, there were 561 units of housing as part of the voucher program in the City of Redlands.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 02-01-22
129 of 602
__________________________________________ 2021-2029 Housing Element
As mentioned above, the Housing Choice Voucher Program pays the difference in rent between 30 (or 40) percent of a household's income and fair-market rent for the unit. Payment Standards effective October 1, 2020, for the voucher program are as follows:
Studio: $840
One bedroom: $930
Two bedroom: $1,070
Three bedroom: $1,475
Four bedroom: $1,850
Five bedroom: $2,130
Six bedroom: $2,405
The above rents assume the owner pays utilities. If not, the rent ceiling could be reduced by $110 to over $200, depending on the size of the unit.
2.6.3 Other Programs
The City of Redlands has previously pursued several programs for constructing housing units affordable to low- and very low-income households. These include the granting of density bonuses and the issuing of Mortgage Revenue Bonds. Since 1981, 164 density bonus units have been bui lt, with 86 affordable to very low -income households and the rest to low - and moderate -income households. Since the last Housing Element planning period, the City has approved 80 low -income housing units using a density bonus.
With the dissolution of California’s Redevelopment Agency in 2012, the ability of the City to offer financial assistance has been curtailed.
2.7 AT-RISK HOUSING
Housing Element law requires that a jurisdiction provide an analysis of existing publicly assisted housing developments that are eligible to convert from low -income use to market- rate housing during the next ten years (October 15, 2021, through October 15, 2031) due to termination of subsidy contracts, mortgage prepayment, or expiration of deed restrictions. This analysis is required only for multi- family rental housing for lower-income households.
2.7.1 Conversion Risk
Assisted housing units are those that offer financial aid or provide extra services for people in need of financial or basic living assistance. Subsequent amendments have clarified the scope of the analysis to also include units developed pursuant to inclusionary housing and density bonus programs. In the preservation analysis, localities are required to provide an inventory of assisted, affordable units that are eligible to convert to market rate within 10 years. As part of the analysis, an estimation of the cost of

preserving versus replacing the units is to be included, as well as a discussion of programs designed to preserve affordable units.
The California Housing Partnership Corporation (CHPC) assists nonprofit and government housing agencies to create, acquire, and preserve housing affordable to lower income households. As shown in Table 2-31, CHPC lists 60 assisted units in Redlands at risk of conversion within the next 5 years, and another 219 units in more than 10 years . The 60 units at risk for conversion are the Citrus Arms Apartments at 151 Judson St . The c urrent contract is set to expire on April 30, 2024. Program 1.4-1 (Preservation/At Risk Housing) commits the City to tracking and monitoring at-risk housing, notifying the property owner of requirements, and engaging the property owner in a renewal contract.

In order for the property owner to successfully opt out of the Housing Choice Voucher contract, the owner must satisfy certain procedural requirements. The owner must provide notice of expiring rental restrictions to affected public entities and tenants three years prior to the scheduled expiration date. A Notice of Intent (NOI) must be filed with HUD one year before the termination date that indicates the owner's intent to convert the units to market rate. Failure to file an NOI within the specified time frame, or follow the other procedures to opt out of the Housing Choice Voucher contract, results in an automatic contract rollover for five years.
Upon filing of an NOI, HUD may offer several incentives to property owners to remain in their contracts, including re-financing the property mortgage and establishing higher rents charged for the projects.
Pursuant to Section 65863.10 of the Government Code, the property owner of a Housing Choice Voucher contract must also provide six months advanced notification to each tenant household if the property owner intends to terminate the Housing Choice Voucher contract. The notice must indicate the anticipated date of conversion and the anticipated rent increase. The property owner is also required to serve notice to the City.

The rental market is seeing high prices which may threaten to induce owners of affordable units to convert those units to market rate.
2.7.2 Preservation and Replacement Options
In Redlands, the cost of conserving assisted units is estimated to be significantly less than that required to replace the units through new construction. The difference between extremely/very low- income and market-rate rents requires the most subsidy; preserving low- and moderate-income units does not require as much subsidy. Since land prices and land availability are generally the limiting factors to development of low-income housing, it is estimated that subsidizing rents to preserve assisted housing is more feasible and economical than new construction. HACSB performs this work for jurisdiction s throughout San Bernardino County, including Redlands. Both HACSB and the City are responsible for the preservation and replacement of assisted housing units.
To maintain the existing affordable housing stock, HACSB works to preserve the existing assisted units or facilitate the development of new units. Depending on the circumstances of the at-risk projects, different options may be used to preserve or replace the units. Preservation options typically include: 1) transfer of units to nonprofit ownership; 2) provision of rental assistance to tenants using other funding sources; and 3) purchase of affordability covenants. In terms of replacement, the most direct o ption is the development of new assisted multi-family housing units.
2.7.2.1 Transfer of Ownership
Transferring ownership of an at-risk project to a nonprofit housing provider is generally one of the least costly ways to ensure that the at-risk units remain affordable for the long term. By transferring property ownership to a nonprofit organization, low -income restrictions can be secured , and the project would become potentially eligible for a greater range of governmental assistance.
2.7.2.2 Construction of Replacement Un its
Currently, programs that fill this role are managed by HACSB. The construction of new low-income housing units is a means of replacing the at -risk units should they be converted to market -rate units. The cost of developing housing depends upon a variety of factors, including density, size of the units (i.e., square footage and number of bedrooms), location, land costs, and type of construction. Presently, the cost to develop new housing in western San Bernardino County rages from $118 to $176 per squar e foot depending on the type and quality of finishes.

__________________________________________ 2021-2029 Housing Element
There are three methods of assisting low-income tenants living in at-risk units: 1) providing monthly rental subsidies in the private market, 2) acquiring and preserving the presently subsidized units , and 3) constructing comparable replacement units.
In addition to the federally financed assisted developments listed in Table 2 -33, projects funded by the former Redlands Redevelopment Agency using the 20 percent housing set -aside are potentially “at risk” of conversion as well. In exchange for financial assistance, the former redevelopment agency entered into regulatory agreements with property owners to keep units affordable at specified levels until the agreements expired. Under the Redevelopment Di ssolution Act, the former Redlands Redevelopment Agency’s housing functions and most of its housing assets were transferred to a “successor housing agency,” separate from the Redlands Successor Agency, including the transfer of all housing covenants.
The housing successor for the City of Redlands is HACSB. Assets of the HACSB are not considered to be at- risk units. There are no additional projects funded by the Redlands Redevelopment Agency that are at risk of conversion to market-rate uses.
2.7.2.3 Qualified Enti ties
HCD keeps a current list of all of the qualified entities across the state. A “qualified entity” is a nonprofit or for -profit organization or individual that agrees to maintain the long -term affordability of housing projects. The qualified entities that HCD lists for San Bernardino County are in Table 2-33.

2.8 OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENERGY CONSERVATION
There are many opportunities for conserving energy in new and existing homes. Construction of energy - efficient buildings does not lower the purchase price of housing. However, housing with energy conservation features should result in reduced monthly occupancy costs as consumption of water and energy is decreased. Similarly, retrofitting existing structures with energy -conserving features can result in a reduction in utility costs. Examples of energy conservation opportunities include weatherization programs and home energy audits; installation of insulation; installation or retrofitting of more efficient appliances, and mechanical or solar energy systems; and building design and orientation that incorporates energy conservation considerations.
2.8.1 Building Design and Construction
Many modern design methods used to reduce residential energy consumption are based on proven techniques that have been known to humans since the earliest of days of collective settlement. These methods can be categorized in three ways:
1. Building design that keeps natural heat in during the winter and keeps natural heat out during the summer. Such design reduces air conditioning and heating demands. Proven building techniques in this category include:
Locating windows and openings in relation to the path of the sun to minimize solar gain in the summer and maximize solar gain in the winter;
Use of “thermal mass,” earthen materials such as stone, brick, concrete, and tiles that absorb heat during the day and release heat at night;
“Burying” part of the home in a hillside or berm to reduce solar exposure or to insulate the home against extremes of temperature;
Use of window coverings, insulation, and other materials to reduce heat exch ange between the interior of a home and the exterior;
Locating openings and using ventilating devices to take advantage of natural air flow; and Use of eaves and overhangs that block direct solar gain through window openings during the summer but allow solar gain during the winter.
2. Building orientation that uses natural forces to maintain a comfortable interior temperature.
Examples include:
North-south orientation of the long axis of a dwelling; Minimizing the southern and western exposure of exterior surfaces; and Location of dwellings to take advantage of natural air circulation and evening breezes. Use of landscaping features to moderate interior temperatures. Such techniques include:
Redlands Regular Meeting of 02-01-22
135 of 602
__________________________________________ 2021-2029 Housing Element
o Use of deciduous shade trees and other plants to protect the home; o Use of natural or artificial flowing water; and
o Use of trees and hedges as windbreaks.
In addition to natural techniques that have been used for millennia, a number of modern methods of energy conservation have been developed or advanced during the present century. These include:
Use of solar energy to heat water;
Use of solar panels, photovoltaic technology, and other devices to generate electricity; Window glazing to repel summer heat and trap winter warmth; Weather-stripping and other insulation to reduce heat gain and loss; and Use of energy-efficient home appliances.
2.8.2 State Building Code Standards
The California Energy Commission was created in 1974 by the Warren -Alquist State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Act (Public Resources Code 25000 et seq.). Among the requirements of the new law was a directive for the Commission to adopt energy conservation standards for new construction. The first residential energy conservation standards were developed in the late 1970s (Title 24, Part 6 of the California Code of Regulations) and have been periodically revised and refined since that time.
Residential site design and construction techniques that can reduce the amount of energy used for space cooling would significantly reduce overall energy demand. As discussed above, a number of traditional and modern techniques can decrease energy used for space cooling, including:
The orientation of buildings and windows with respect to the path of the sun; Landscaping to shade and insulate buildings;
Insulation in walls and ceilings;
Thermal mass to absorb solar energy during the day and release it at night; and Window treatments to reduce solar gain during the day; Installation of radiant heat barriers under roofing materials and the selection of “cool roof” shingles;
Use of low heat gain pavers/hardscape to reduce the heat island effect.
The City’s abundant sunshine provides an opportunity to use solar energy techniques to generate electricity, heat water, and provide space heating during colder months, as well. Natural space heating can be substantially increased through the proper location of windows and thermal mass.

2.8.3 Public Utility Programs
2.8.3.1 Electricity
Southern California Edison (SCE) is the electricity provider for much of Southern California, including Redlands. SCE offers a range of programs designed to assist residential consumers with energy conservation:
The Home Energy Efficiency Rebates Program offers rebates on a first -come first-serve basis to residential customers for energy-efficient cooling systems, water heaters and pumps, as well as appliances.
The Residential Energy Efficiency Loan Program helps renters or homeowners to obtain attractive financing terms for energy-efficient updates.
Residential Solar Programs for single -family homes (DAC-SASH), Solar on Multifamily Affordable Housing and Multifamily Solar Housing (SOMAH & MASH).
Edison SmartConnect is a smart metering system that facilitates energy efficiency by communicating directly with appliances and reducing the burden on the electric system as a whole during peak electricity usage.
The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is a federally funded program aimed to assist low -income households that pay a high portion of their income to meet their energy needs. LIHEAP is funded by the US Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Office of Community Services.
COVID-19 Rent Relief helps income eligible households pay rent and utilities.
SCE also offers several programs with the potential to assis t low-income residents with their electricity costs, including those that do so through energy conservation.
The Energy Management Assistance (EMA) Program helps income-qualified households conserve energy by covering the purchase and installation costs of energy-efficient appliances and equipment. To qualify, SCE customers must receive service through a residential electric meter and have an SCE service account, as well as meet income qualifications (Table 2-34).

Assistance is available to both owners and renters, though renters must obtain their landlord’s permission. Customers may only receive EMA services once every ten years.
The Multifamily Energy Efficiency Rebate (MEER) Program offers property owners and managers of existing multifamily properties incentives on a broad spectrum of energy efficiency improvements in lighting, HVAC, insulation, and window categ ories. While MEER is available to all multifamily developments—even those without especially high proportions of affordable housing —it would be particularly helpful to low-income people, who are more likely to live in multifamily rental housing.
2.8.3.2 Gas
The Southern California Gas Company provides gas for heating and cooking purposes to Redlands, and many other communities in the southern part of the state. The following are a list of energy efficiency programs offered by the utility:
Home Energy Efficiency Rebate Program offers cash rebates on qualifying energy efficiency upgrades and improvements made on single family homes, condominiums, or attached residential units (maximum of four);
Multifamily Energy Efficiency Rebate Program offers cash rebates for the installation of qualified energy-efficient products in apartment dwelling units and in the common areas of apartment and condominium complexes, and common areas of mobile home parks.
The Southern California Gas Company also offers the Direct Assistance Program , which provides no-cost weatherization services such as ceiling and pipe insulation and water heater blankets as well as furnace repair and replacement to qualified low -income customers. The income qualifications are the same as those listed previously to qualify for SCE’s EMA Program.

2.8.3.3 Water
The City of Redlands Municipal Utilities & Engineering Department provides residents with water audits upon request to help assist in water conservation. At present, irrigation is allowed only on assigned irrigation days by address:
Even Addresses: Monday, Thursday, Saturday only
Odd Addresses: Tuesday, Friday, Sunday only
All Addresses: No watering on Wednesdays
Additionally, watering is permitted between the hours of 12:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.
2.8.4 Citywide Strategies
On December 5, 2017 the City adopted its Climate Action Plan (CAP). The CAP is designed to reinforce the City’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and demonstrate how the City will comply with state’s GHG emission reduction standards. The CAP includes an inventory of the City’s GHG emissions, forecasts of future GHG emissions, monitoring and report processes, and options for reducing GHG emissions beyond state requirements that could be adopted at a future date, if so needed or desired.
Redlands has endorsed the US Mayors Climate Protection Agreement, effectively establishing City policy to pursue environmental stewardship pertaining to a broad array of environmental programs and initiatives. The City has committed to exceed the target of reducing global warming pollution levels to seven percent below 1990 levels. The green policy initiatives that will be necessary to achieve this goal include land use policies that promote walkable communities, preserve open space , and reduce sprawl; amenities that promote alternative transportation such as public transit, bicycle use, etc .; use of alternative sources of energy and energy efficiency; sustainable building practices such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) development; incre ased recycling rates; and the promotion of healthy urban forests and shade trees.
The City has implemented several other programs and actions to reduce energy use, increase efficiency and reduce waste:
Electrical generation from landfill gas: The City installed a landfill gas (LFG) collection system and constructed a cogeneration facility for electricity generation from the LFG. This system currently generates approximately 700 KW to provide approximately 60 -70 percent of the electrical demand of the Wastewater Reclamation Facility. The City temporarily discontinu ed use of the facility as a result of it failing a “smog test” and new AQMD regulations but has since come back online. The 2035 General Plan contains policies directed at the investment in new infrastructure and technology for the reuse of methane gas emissions from the landfill. Conversion of the solid waste fleet to liquefied natural gas/compressed natural gas (LNG/CNG) alternative fuel: The City has replaced all of its trucks with LNG/CNG vehicles.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 02-01-22

__________________________________________ 2021-2029 Housing Element
Expansion of City recycling programs: As a result of expanded programs, and implementation of best practices and technology, the California Street Landfill has an extended lifespan of 2053. Ride share: The City promotes ride sharing among its employees through the Ride Share Time Off program.
LED streetlights: The Municipal Utilities and Engineering Department installed LED lights in all existing traffic signals in the City and has established specifications for requiring LED lights in all new traffic signals. This action resulted in a 90 percent reduction in energy usage per traffic signal with a 3.7 -year payback for the cost of installation. The City has been converting non -traffic streetlights and requires that LED light be installed during right-of-way improvement projects. Conversion of park irrigation controllers to SMART Controllers: In addition to saving water through changes in the park irrigation control system, the City also has a program to provide irrigation timer scheduling assistance to residents and businesses. Adoption of a Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance: Chapter 15.54 of the Municipal Code addresses water-efficient landscape requirements throughout the City. This Chapter of the Code establishes a structure for planning, designing, installing, maintaining, and managing water- efficient landscapes in new construction and rehabilitated projects.
This Housing Element and the 2035 General Plan can support this City effort through promoting infill development; siting housing near transit, jobs, and services; requiring greenscaping; and encouraging the use of green building standards. The City has imp lemented policies to streamline the permit processing phase for LEED projects and the plan check process for residential rooftop solar. The 2035 General Plan contains a litany of policies and actions directed at sustainability in the Sustainable Community Chapter. Furthermore, through the future adoption of the proposed Transit Villages Specific Plan, the City is pursuing infill and transit-oriented development.

2.9 REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND SPECIAL NEEDS The housing element focuses on providing housing for extremely low -, very low -, and low -income households—a need that is often unmet by the housing market. All of these groups have a household income that is 80 percent or less of the countywide median. In many California communities, the market is not producing for -sale or rental units affordable to even moderate - income households. In Redlands, the match between income and housing cost has been closer for most households than in the coastal Los Angeles metropolitan area, but the dramatic rise in housing costs compared to incomes since the year 2000 has made the city less affordable.
This section of the housing element evaluates three types of housing need. First is a discussion of housing need by income, using the categories determined by SCAG and established in the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). The second section analyzes the special needs of persons whose housing choices are limited by personal characteristics: seniors, large families, female - headed households, farmworkers, disabled persons, and families and persons in need of emergency shelter. The final section addresses the number of Redlands residents living in overcrowded conditions, a situation especially common to large, low-income renter-occupied households.
2.9.1 Current Housing Need
It is often difficult for lower income households to find affordable housing. Housing is considered affordable when a household spends 30 percent or less of its income on housing-related costs. Table 2-35 quantifies the housing need of extremely low-, low-, and moderate-income households in Redlands.

__________________________________________ 2021-2029 Housing Element
Extremely low- and low -income households are disproportionately likely to have housing -related problems (72% and 88%, respectively) and spend 30 percent or more of their incomes on housing ( 70% and 87%, respectively). In fact, 62 percent of extremely low-income households spend 50 percent or more of their incomes on housing. Across the board, larger percentages of renters spend 30 percent or more of their incomes on housing. This may be because more households who own bought their homes when they were more affordable or because the rental market is comparatively tighter.
2.9.2 Regional Housing Need Allocation
California Government Code Section 65584 requires SCAG to identify existing housing needs and to project needs in each of the region's jurisdictions at eight-year intervals. The 2021 Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) covers the period of October 15 , 2021 to October 15, 2029. The RHNA is designed to incorporate population growth and change, employment patterns and commuting, a nd housing market problems. Housing elements must include policies and programs to meet the needs of all city residents.
The 2021 RHNA defines “existing need” as the number of households with one or more federally defined housing problem. HCD characterizes existing need as: “The number of households overpaying for housing, living in overcrowded conditions, or with special housing needs, the number of housing units that need rehabilitation, and assisted affordable units at -risk of converting to market -rate.” "Future need" is the number of units that would have to be added to accommodate forecasted growth in number of households by the end of October 2021, as well as the number of units that would have to be added to compensate for anticipated demolitions and changes to achieve an "ideal" vacancy rate of two percent for ownership units and five percent for rental units.
Future need is divided into five income categories (extremely low, very low, low, moderate, and above moderate), as defined by state and federal law. Table 2-36 shows income categories for a family of four based on median income in San Bernardino County in 20 21, as defined by HCD using federal guidelines.
The SCAG allocations for Redlands in each category are shown for the 2006 -2013, 2014-2021, and 2021- 2029 RHNA projection periods.
The RHNA for Redlands estimates that 967 very low-income housing units are needed between 2021 and 2029. While the RHNA does not i nclude a separate extremely low -income category, the City estimates that 50 percent (allowed per state methodology) of the projected housing need for very low- income households qualify as extremely low -income households. Therefore, the projected housing ne ed for extremely low-income households during the 2021-2029 RHNA is estimated to be 483 units.

HOUSING PRODUCTION UNDER THE PREVIOUS RHNA
The previous Housing Element addressed the RHNA that covered the years 2014 to 2021. As Table 2-37 shows, only 19 percent of the housing allocation was met. See Section 5.2, Non -Governmental Constraints, for further discussion. The majority of units produced were above moderate -income (446 units), followed by low-income (18 units), moderate-income (4 units), and very low-income (1 unit).

2.9.3 Special Housing Needs
For some types of households, limited income is not the only obstacle to finding satisfactory housing.
Finding units of adequate size, location, and design can be especially difficult for the elderly, the disabled, large families, female-headed households, farmworkers, and the homeless. California Government Code Section 65583(a)(6) requires an analysis of the special housing needs of these groups. For people with special needs, a fundamental obstacle to determining unmet needs and pro viding assistance is establishing the number of special needs households. It should be noted that there is undoubtedly overlap among the numbers used in the discussion below. The US Census and other data enumerating special needs households usually do not specify, for example, the number of migrant families that are large families or the number of elderly or disabled persons who are homeless. Table 2-38 lists households with special needs as of 2019.

THE ELDERLY
Senior citizens are identified as a population in need of special housing because of physical constraints that require certain housing accommodations or modifications, and limited incomes that prevent many seniors from being able to afford the most suitable housing. Small units in proximity to services and transportation are desirable for many seniors. Other seniors who are able to live independe ntly in their current homes can often benefit from financial assistance that helps them properly maintain their homes or make minor modifications for increased mobility. (Information on the number of seniors with disabilities is provided in the Special Needs section on persons with disabilities.) According to the 2019 American Community Survey , the elderly population (those 65 and older) in Redlands represented 15.8 percent of the general population. Approximately 13.5 percent of all elderly households earned less than 30 percent of the surrounding area income.

In general, seniors are more likely to own rather than rent their homes— over three-quarters of seniors owned their homes in Redlands, according to the 2019 American Community Survey. Table 2-39 compares the tenure of senior households in the city and the county.

Seniors make up a higher percentage of households in Redlands than in the county overall. Therefore, in general, seniors make up a larger percentage of owner and renter occupied households in Redlands as compared to the county.
Table 2-40 shows the Redlands elderly population displayed by tenure and income level. Predictably, elderly households with the lowest incomes were more likely to rent than own their homes; this indicates a need for affordable rental units geared towards seniors.

Other affordable housing projects that house seniors within Redlands are: Citrus Arms with 60 units; Redlands Village Green, a 105 -unit non-assisted (yet affordable) senior housing facility; Casa de la Vista, a 75-unit Section 202-income senior housing project completed in 1990; and Redlands Senior Housing 2 (Fern Lodge), a 62 -unit Section 202 senior apartment complex. Two 51 - unit low-income senior projects in Yucaipa were built by the San Bernardino County Housing Authority to aid seniors in the Redlands area. Heritage Partners also recently completed a 53 -patient senior citizen assisted-living facility and American Baptist Homes of the West constructed a 12-bed Alzheimer’s facility.
The following are senior housing projects that have recently been proposed, approved, or constructed that should provide additional affordable housing for seniors:
340-unit and 30 cottage senior care facility/assisted living on the northeast corner of 5th and Wabash (under construction). The 30 cottages have been constructed and are occupied and two of the seven planned buildings for congregate care are complete. Additionally, a 44,000 -square- foot congregate care facility with 42 units and a multiple purpose building t hat houses medical offices and social support facilities have also been constructed and are occupied. Vista del Sol, a 71 -unit senior housing project on Webster Street at Lugonia Avenue (completed and 100 percent occupied).

To further assist in providing additional housing for senior citizens, the City enacted a Second Dwelling Unit ordinance in accordance with Government Code Section 65852.2, which was first adopted in 1982.
This code section allows special housing for senior citizens in any single-family district subject to approval of a "use permit."
As indicated in the list above, several senior assisted housing units will be constructed in the next few years, which will help to accommodate the need for senior housing. Because Redlands has an older, more affluent population, it seems likely that many seniors are well-off, and some of those having low-incomes are "income poor" but "housing rich”; that is, they may be living on a low fixed monthly income but have a higher net worth in real estate. Nevertheless, there are a number of senior homeowners (the exact number cannot be determined from available data) who live in older homes in need of repair or accessibility modifications, but who do not have the income or assets necessary to make those needed repairs or modifications. The City provides low interest loans and grants to address this need based on the policy that seniors who are able to live independently in their own homes should be assisted in doing so.
Finally, many services that target seniors are available to Redlands residents (Table 2-41).

THE DISABLED
Disability data also provides valuable context for assessing current and future need for accessible housing units. Note that since some disability types are not recorded for children below a certain age, calculating disability as a percentage of total population may not be accurate.

The US Census defines a “disability” as “a long -lasting physical, mental, or emotional condition. This condition can make it difficult for a person to do activities such as walking, climbing stairs, dressing, bathing, learning, or remembering. This condition can also impede a person from being able to go outside the home alone or to work at a job or business.”
Of individuals with disabilities, 4,465 (43.8%) were seniors. Individuals with ambulatory or independent living difficulties represented the most common disabilities, as reported in Table 2-42.
For those of working age, disabilities can also restrict the type of work performed and income earned. In fact, according to the 2009 -2011 ACS, 60 percent of individuals over 16 with a reported disability were not in the labor force; 36 percent were employed; and 4 percent were unemployed (i.e., looking for work).

The current definition of family is “an individual, or two (2) or more persons related by blood, marriage or adoption, or a group of not more than five (5) persons, excluding servants, who are not so related, living together as a single housekeeping unit in a dwelling unit” (Ord. 1000 § 6 .20, 1955). This definition may pose a constraint to groups of more than five unrelated persons living together. To mitigate this constraint, Program 1.2-17 is included to amend the definition of family in the Municipal Code such that it will no longer pose a constraint.
DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED PERSONS
According to Section 4512 of the California Welfare and Institutions Code a “developmental disability” is a disability that originates before an individual reaches adulthood (18 years old), continues, or can be expected to continue, indefinitely, and constitutes a substantial disability for that individual. This includes intellectual disabilities (characterized by significantly sub -average general intellectual functioning), cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and autism. This term also includes disabling conditions found to be closely related to other intellectual disabilities or that require treatment (i.e., care and management) similar to
