March 17, 2021- Educational stakeholders in Table 6 were emailed the following message:

Good evening,
As you may know, the City of San Marino is preparing an update to its General Plan Housing Element to cover the period between 2021-2029. 4LEAF is the consulting firm that has been hired by the City to complete this Housing Element update, and we would very much like to hear from you about the housing needs of your staff and faculty.

One of the things that a Housing Element must include are an assessment of the City’s housing needs, including the needs of its workforce – like teachers.

Please assist us by responding to this email to briefly let us know two things:
1)
2)
Where (generally) do your school’s staff and faculty live? Are they able to live in San Marino, or do they need to commute to work?
If the City permitted it, would you be interested in providing housing for your staff and/or teachers on-site? If no, why not?
Thank you for lending us your time and expertise. We would very much appreciate your response by Wednesday, March 24. If you would prefer to arrange a phone interview, please contact Associate Planner Aundrea Cruz at [email protected] with your available dates and times.

For more information on the Housing Element Update, please visit the project website here: San Marino, CA (cityofsanmarino.org).

This email is sent by 4LEAF staff. 4LEAF, Inc. is the consulting team that has been chosen to assist the City in the update of its Housing Element, as well as the City’s Public Safety and Health Element. 4LEAF is a full-service firm that has been providing services to numerous public agencies across California for more than 20 years.

Summary of Community Comments of Draft Housing Element
On July 21, 2021, The City of San Marino published the Draft Version of the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update. In response, the City received 102 public comment letters and emails; of those, 81 were of similar format and substance: opposition to inclusion of the Carver School property on the list of sites to be considered for rezoning. The Carver School site was subsequently removed from the list.

Additional letters were received objecting to the public outreach not including each individual member of the community. One letter was received in support of multi-family housing, mixed-use zoning, and more practical design review standards.

All public comments received by the City have been provided to HCD upon submission of the Draft Housing Element Proposal.

Creation of the Initial Community Outreach List
In November of 2020, the City of San Marino provided the list of potential community stakeholders that had been utilized during the 5th Cycle Housing Element Update. 4LEAF consultants attempted to contact all individuals and organizations on the list via email and/or phone. Two weeks following attempted contact, including many cases where messages were left for named participants, nonresponsive participants were removed from the list. The first edits are reflected as strikeouts in Table

8. The final outreach list is provided in Table 9. Additional outreach lists included the City’s senior mailing list; the members of the Chinese Club; and any residents who requested the City to include them in subsequent informational items and notices.

ATTACHMENT B‐1: COMMUNITY SURVEY RESULTS
One part of the community outreach and engagement plan included the distribution of community opinion surveys about housing needs and opportunities in San Marino. These surveys were designed to that they could be accessed and completed via cell phone in order to ensure equal access to households without internet connections. The surveys were conducted in the City’s three dominant languages (Chinese, English, and Spanish) to ensure that all residents had an opportunity to participate in the language that they felt most comfortable with. Multiple digital and social media platforms were used to facilitate the public input. Fill-in responses to questions are listed above, in Table 1: Public Comments and Incorporation into Housing Element. The remaining results of the community opinion surveys (all languages compiled) are presented here.

Data for this report is provided via the Market Outlook database from Synergos Technologies, Inc (STI).

Market Outlook is based on the following -
•
•
•
the Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE), a program of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS); the U.S. Census Bureau’s monthly and annual Retail Trade (CRT) reports; the Census Bureau’s Economic Census; with supporting demographic data from STI: PopStats data and STI: WorkPlace.

Market Outlook data covers 31 leading retail segments and 40 major product and service lines.

The difference between demand and supply represents the opportunity gap or surplus available for each retail outlet cited on the Market Outlook report for the specified trade area or reporting geography. When the demand is greater than (or less than) the supply, there is an opportunity gap (or surplus) for that retail outlet.

In other words, a negative value signifies an opportunity gap where the Consumer Demand is higher than the Market Supply, while a positive value signifies a surplus.

Consumer Demand/Market Supply Index:
n = 100 (Equilibrium)
n > 100 suggests demand is not being fully met within the market, consumers are leaving the area to shop n < 100 suggests supply exceeds demand, attracting consumers from outside the defined area ©SDS, a division of x-span results, inc. Data by STI. All rights reserved. Page 3 of 3 PAGE 519 of 1856

Data for this report is provided via the Market Outlook database from Synergos Technologies, Inc (STI).

Market Outlook is based on the following -
•
•
•
the Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE), a program of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS); the U.S. Census Bureau’s monthly and annual Retail Trade (CRT) reports; the Census Bureau’s Economic Census; with supporting demographic data from STI: PopStats data and STI: WorkPlace.

Market Outlook data covers 31 leading retail segments and 40 major product and service lines.

The difference between demand and supply represents the opportunity gap or surplus available for each retail outlet cited on the Market Outlook report for the specified trade area or reporting geography. When the demand is greater than (or less than) the supply, there is an opportunity gap (or surplus) for that retail outlet.

In other words, a negative value signifies an opportunity gap where the Consumer Demand is higher than the Market Supply, while a positive value signifies a surplus.

Consumer Demand/Market Supply Index:
n = 100 (Equilibrium)
n > 100 suggests demand is not being fully met within the market, consumers are leaving the area to shop n < 100 suggests supply exceeds demand, attracting consumers from outside the defined area ©SDS, a division of x-span results, inc.

Dear Alex Hamilton:

RE: City of San Marino’s 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Draft Housing Element Thank you for submitting the City of San Marino’s (City) draft housing element received for review on November 1, 2021. Pursuant to Government Code section 65585, subdivision (b), the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is reporting the results of its review. Our review was facilitated by a telephone conversation on December 30, 2022 with you and Bret K. McNulty, the City’s consultant. In addition, HCD considered comments from several private citizens pursuant to Government Code section 65585, subdivision (c).

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

The enclosed Appendix describes revisions needed to comply with State Housing Element Law.

As a reminder, the City’s 6th cycle housing element was due October 15, 2021. As of today, the City has not completed the housing element process for the 6th cycle. The City’s 5th cycle housing element no longer satisfies statutory requirements. HCD encourages the City to revise the element as described above, adopt, and submit to HCD to regain housing element compliance.

For your information, pursuant to Assembly Bill 1398 (Chapter 358, Statutes of 2021), if a local government fails to adopt a compliant housing element within 120 days of the statutory deadline (October 15, 2021), then any rezoning to accommodate the regional housing needs allocation (RHNA), including for lower-income households, shall be completed no later than one year from the statutory deadline. Otherwise, the local government’s housing element will no longer comply with State Housing Element Law, and HCD may revoke its finding of substantial compliance pursuant to Government Code section 65585, subdivision (i).

Attachment 2

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

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

For your information, some general plan element updates are triggered by housing element adoption. HCD reminds the City to consider timing provisions and welcomes the opportunity to provide assistance. For information, please see the Technical Advisories issued by the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research at:
http://opr.ca.gov/docs/OPR_Appendix_C_final.pdf and
http://opr.ca.gov/docs/Final_6.26.15.pdf.

HCD is committed to assisting the City in addressing all statutory requirements of State Housing Element Law. If you have any questions or need additional technical assistance, please contact Molivann Phlong, of our staff, at [email protected].

Sincerely,
Melinda Coy
Senior Housing Accountability Manager

APPENDIX

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

Housing element technical assistance information is available on HCD’s website at http://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/housing-element/housing-element-memos.shtml.

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

A. Review and Revision
Review the previous element to evaluate the appropriateness, effectiveness, and progress in implementation, and reflect the results of this review in the revised element. (Gov. Code, § 65588 (a) and (b).)
A thorough program-by-program review is necessary to evaluate City's performance in addressing housing goals. Table 4 must be revised to describe the actual results of the prior element’s programs (quantified where possible), compare those results to the objectives projected or planned, and based on an evaluation of any differences between what was planned versus achieved, provide a description of how the objectives and programs of the updated element incorporate changes resulting from the evaluation. This information and analysis provide the basis for developing a more effective housing program.

In addition, as part of the evaluation of programs in the past cycle, the element must provide an explanation of the effectiveness of goals, policies, and related actions in meeting the housing needs of special needs populations (e.g., elderly, persons with disabilities, large households, female headed households, farmworkers and persons experiencing homelessness).

B. Housing Needs, Resources, and Constraints

1. Affirmatively further[ing] fair housing in accordance with Chapter 15 (commencing with Section 8899.50) of Division 1 of Title 2…shall include an assessment of fair housing in the jurisdiction (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(10)(A)) Regional Analysis and Analysis of Trends and Patterns: The element generally describes local data but must also analyze San Marino relative to the rest of the region regarding enforcement and outreach, integration, and segregation, racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty (R/ECAP) and areas of affluence, disparities in access to opportunity, and disproportionate housing needs and displacement risks.

PAGE 536 of 1856
City of San Marino’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 2 December 31, 2021
In addition, wherever possible, the analysis and summary should include a discussion at a geographic level appropriate to better determine any locational trends—simply reporting information at a city-wide level will not fully display patterns and impacts on protected characteristics. Examples of appropriate geographic levels include census tracts, block groups, neighborhoods, housing development, or any other sub-section of a locality.

Fair Housing Enforcement and Outreach: The element provides (page 90) some information on Fair Housing enforcement and public outreach. However, the element must include the City’s ability to provide enforcement and outreach capacity which can consist of actions such as the City’s ability to investigate complaints, obtain remedies, or the City’s ability to engage in fair housing testing. The element must address compliance with existing fair housing laws and regulations; findings, lawsuits, enforcement actions, settlements, or judgements related to fair housing or civil rights; and summarize fair housing issues related to enforcement and outreach capacity and the relationship to other fair housing issues (e.g., segregation and integration, racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty, etc.).

Integration and Segregation: The element includes some local data and analysis on integration and segregation (page 91); however, the element must analyze segregation and integration of familial status. The element must also analyze segregation and integration of race, familial status, disability, and income locally and regionally for patterns over time, complemented by data, and concluding with a summary of issues. To strengthen the analysis for race, the element could include updated dissimilarity index data.

Racial/Ethnic Concentrated Areas of Poverty (R/ECAP) and Affluence (RCAA): The element notes there are no R/ECAPs in the City and states that there are no RCAAs given the equal distribution of wealth within City limits (page 106). However, the element should analyze some of the census tracts that have significantly higher rates of white population and income as RCAA and compare both this analysis, and R/ECAPs to the neighboring region.

Disparities in Access to Opportunity: The element provides (page 97) some information on the access to opportunity. A complete analysis should include the locally and regional disparities of the educational, environmental, and economic scores through local, federal, and/or state data. Please refer to page 35 of the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) guidebook (link:
https://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/affh/index.shtml#guidance) for specific factors that should be considered when analyzing access to opportunities as it pertains to educational, employment, environmental, transportation, and any factors that are unique to San Marino.

Disproportionate Housing Needs and Displacement: The element does include (page 104) some data on disproportionate housing needs and displacement. However, the element must also analyze the data including looking at trends, patterns, and other local knowledge, and conclude with a summary of issues.

PAGE 537 of 1856
City of San Marino’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 3 December 31, 2021
Identification and Prioritization Contributing Factors: The element must list and prioritize contributing factors to fair housing issues. Contributing factors create, contribute to, perpetuate, or increase the severity of fair housing issues and are fundamental to adequate goals and actions. Examples include community opposition to affordable housing, housing discrimination, land use and zoning laws, lack of regional cooperation, location and type or lack of affordable housing and lack of public or private investment in areas of opportunity or affordable housing choices.

The analysis shall result in strategic approaches to inform and connect goals and actions to mitigate contributing factors to affordable housing.

Site Inventory: The element must include an analysis demonstrating whether sites identified to meet the RHNA are distributed throughout the community in a manner that affirmatively furthers fair housing. A full analysis should address the income categories of identified sites with respect to location, the number of sites and units by all income groups and how that effects the existing patterns for all components of the assessment of fair housing (e.g., segregation and integration, access to opportunity).

The element should also discuss whether the distribution of sites improves or exacerbates conditions. If sites exacerbate conditions, the element should identify further program actions that will be taken to mitigate this (e.g., anti-displacement strategies).

Goals, Priorities, Metrics, and Milestones: Goals and actions must significantly seek to overcome contributing factors to fair housing issues. Currently, the element identifies a program to provide fair housing services through the Fair Housing Foundation; however, this program does not appear to facilitate any meaningful change nor address AFFH requirements. Furthermore, the element must include metrics and milestones for evaluating progress on programs, actions, and fair housing results. The element may need to include additional programs and actions to integrate the AFFH analysis into policies and programs.

2. Include an analysis and documentation of household characteristics, including level of payment compared to ability to pay, housing characteristics, including overcrowding, and housing stock condition. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(2).) Units in Need Rehabilitation or Replacement: The element identifies (page 106) substandard housing. However, it must include analysis of the condition of the existing housing stock and estimate the number of units in need of rehabilitation and replacement. For example, the analysis could include estimates from a recent windshield survey or sampling, estimates from the code enforcement agency, or information from knowledgeable builders/developers, including non-profit housing developers or organizations.

Overpayment – Income Category and Tenure: While the element identifies (page 10) the total number of overpaying households, it must quantify and analyze the number of overpaying households by tenure (i.e., renter and owner) and the lower-income households paying more than 30 percent of their income on housing.

PAGE 538 of 1856
City of San Marino’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 4 December 31, 2021

3. An inventory of land suitable and available for residential development, including vacant sites and sites having realistic and demonstrated potential for redevelopment during the planning period to meet the locality’s housing need for a designated income level, and an analysis of the relationship of zoning and public facilities and services to these sites. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(3).) The City has a regional housing need allocation (RHNA) of 397 housing units, of which 240 are for lower-income households. To address this need, the element relies on permitting residential uses in commercial zones, accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units, rezoning, utilizing a housing overlay, and including missing middle housing. To demonstrate the adequacy of these sites and strategies to accommodate the City’s RHNA, the element must include complete analyses.

Sites Inventory: The sites inventory lists several sites with multiple APNs. These parcels should be listed separately. Tables 6 and 11 must describe existing uses for any nonvacant sites and include a calculation of the realistic capacity of each site by income category. The element must also include a general map of identified sites.

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

Realistic Capacity: While the element provides (page 40) assumptions of buildout for sites included in the inventory, it must also provide support for these assumptions.

For example, the element should demonstrate what specific trends, factors, and other evidence led to the assumptions. The estimate of the number of units for each site must be adjusted as necessary, based on the land use controls and site improvements, typical densities of existing or approved residential developments at a similar affordability level in that City, and on the current or planned availability and accessibility of sufficient water, sewer, and dry utilities. The element also needs to analyze the likelihood that the identified units will be developed as noted in the inventory in zones that allow nonresidential uses (e.g., mixed-use) or in areas that will be subject to an overlay, pursuant to the underlying zoning. This analysis should consider the likelihood of nonresidential development, performance standards, and development trends supporting residential development.

Small Sites: The sites inventory identifies small sites to accommodate the City’s lower-income RHNA. Sites smaller than a half-acre in size are deemed inadequate to accommodate housing for lower-income households unless it is demonstrated, with sufficient evidence, that sites are suitable to accommodate housing for lower-income households. The element should provide specific examples with the densities and affordability. For sites expected to be aggregated, the element must describe PAGE 539 of 1856
City of San Marino’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 5 December 31, 2021
circumstances leading to consolidation, such as common ownership, the City’s role or track record in facilitating small-lot consolidation, policies or incentives offered or proposed to encourage and facilitate lot consolidation, specific examples of projects that were built for lower-income households on similarly sized sites, densities and affordability and relate those examples back to the sites inventory. Based on a complete analysis, the City should consider adding or revising programs to include incentives for facilitating development on small sites.

Suitability of Nonvacant Sites: While the element identifies (page 42) nonvacant sites to accommodate the regional housing need for lower-income households, it provides no description of how the potential for redevelopment. The element must describe the methodology used to determine the additional development potential within the planning period. For example, the element includes portions of sites such as the Huntington Library and the Southwestern Academy, and sites with religious institutions, but no analysis was provided to demonstrate whether these existing uses would impede development of these sites within the planning period or how development is expected to occur on these sites. The methodology must consider factors including the extent to which existing uses may impede additional residential development, development trends, market conditions, any existing leases or other contracts that would perpetuate the existing use or prevent redevelopment of the site for additional residential development, and regulatory or other incentives or standards to encourage additional residential development on these sites. (Gov. Code, § 65583.2, subd. (g).) For sites with residential uses, the inventory could also describe structural conditions or other circumstances and trends demonstrating the redevelopment potential to more intense residential uses. For nonresidential sites, the inventory could also describe whether the use is operating, marginal or discontinued, and the condition of the structure or could describe any expressed interest in redevelopment. The element could also discuss conversations with property owners and institutions to demonstrate interest in residential development.

In addition, if the housing element relies upon nonvacant sites to accommodate more than 50 percent of the RHNA for lower income households, the housing element must demonstrate that the existing use is not an impediment to additional residential development in the planning period (Gov. Code, § 65583.2, subd. (g)(2).). This can be demonstrated by providing substantial evidence that the existing use is likely to be discontinued during the planning period (Gov. Code, § 65583.2, subd. (g)(2). For additional information and sample analysis, see the Building Blocks at:
http://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/building-blocks/site-inventoryanalysis/analysis-of-sites-and-zoning.shtml#analysis.

Missing Middle Projections: The element is projecting 75 units that will be developed based on the development of a missing middle ordinance to accommodate a portion of its above moderate income RHNA. To utilize projections, the element must 1) include a site-specific inventory of sites where the ordinance is being applied to 2) include a nonvacant sites analysis demonstrating the likelihood of redevelopment and that the existing use will not constitute as an impediment for additional residential use and 3) include programs and policies that establish zoning and development standards early in the planning period and implement incentives to encourage and PAGE 540 of 1856
City of San Marino’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 6 December 31, 2021
facilitate development. The element should support this analysis with local information such as local developer or owner interest to utilize zoning and incentives established through the ordinance.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU): The element assumes (page 44) an ADU build out of 241 ADU and/or junior accessory dwelling unit (JADU) in the planning cycle. Given that the City has only produced an average of 9 units per year since 2018, it is not clear if this production level will be achievable in the planning period. As a result, the element should be updated to include a realistic estimate of the potential for ADUs and include policies and programs that incentivize the production of ADUs.

Depending on the analysis, the element must commit to monitor ADU production throughout the course of the planning period and implement additional actions if not meeting target numbers anticipated in the housing element. In addition to monitoring production, this program should also monitor affordability. Additional actions, if necessary, should be taken in a timely manner (e.g., within 6 months). Finally, if necessary, the degree of additional actions should be in stride with the degree of the gap in production and affordability. For example, if actual production and affordability of ADUs is far from anticipated trends, then rezoning or something similar would be an appropriate action. If actual production and affordability is near anticipated trends, then measures like outreach and marketing might be more appropriate.

Sites with Zoning for a Variety of Housing Types:

Accessory Dwelling Units: After a cursory review of the City’s ADU ordinance, HCD discovered several areas which were not consistent with State ADU Law. This includes, but is not limited to, additional permits for ADU approval, and bedroom limitations. In addition, ADUs need to be allowed in any zones that allow residential use. HCD will provide a complete listing of ADU non-compliance issues under a separate cover. As a result, the element should include in Program 1.3 to update the City’s ADU and zoning ordinances to comply with state law. For more information, please consult HCD’s ADU Guidebook, published in December 2020, which provides detailed information on new state ADU requirements
Emergency Shelters: The housing element must demonstrate the permit processing, development, and management standards for emergency shelters are consistent with Government Code section 65583 (a)(4)(A). While housing element law does allow a jurisdiction to limit the number of beds or persons permitted to be served nightly by a facility, standards must be designed to encourage and facilitate the development of, or conversion to, an emergency shelter. The element must analyze the ten-bed limit as a potential constraint for the development of emergency shelters and ensure that parking standards only reflect the need for sufficient parking to accommodate all staff working in the emergency shelter. In addition, the element must demonstrate the commercial zone has sufficient capacity to accommodate the housing need for at least one emergency shelters.

Low Barrier Navigation Centers: Low Barrier Navigation Centers shall be a use byright in zones where multifamily and mixed uses are permitted, including nonresidential zones permitting multifamily uses pursuant to Government Code PAGE 541 of 1856
City of San Marino’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 7 December 31, 2021
section 65660. The element must demonstrate compliance with this requirement and include programs as appropriate.

Permanent Supportive Housing: Supportive housing shall be a use by-right in zones where multifamily and mixed uses are permitted, including nonresidential zones permitting multifamily uses pursuant to Government Code section 65651. The element must demonstrate compliance with this requirement and include programs as appropriate.

4. An analysis of potential and actual governmental constraints upon the maintenance, improvement, or development of housing for all income levels, including the types of housing identified in paragraph (1) of subdivision (c), and for persons with disabilities as identified in the analysis pursuant to paragraph (7), including land use controls, building codes and their enforcement, site improvements, fees and other exactions required of developers, and local processing and permit procedures. The analysis shall also demonstrate local efforts to remove governmental constraints that hinder the locality from meeting its share of the regional housing need in accordance with Government Code section 65584 and from meeting the need for housing for persons with disabilities, supportive housing, transitional housing, and emergency shelters identified pursuant to paragraph (7). Transitional housing and supportive housing shall be considered a residential use of property, and shall be subject only to those restrictions that apply to other residential dwellings of the same type in the same zone. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(5).)
Land Use and Development Standards: Currently, development standards do not support the development of multifamily housing. While HCD recognizes that zoning has not yet been created to implement new overlays to accommodate multifamily housing, the element should generally describe and commit to expectations for development standards in these zones. For example, the element should describe if 100 percent residential projects be allowed in the C-1 zone or if a commercial component be required for new multifamily development. In addition, the element should commit to ensuring that development standards including height, lot coverage, and parking facilitate the development of multifamily housing at the allowable densities assumed in the inventory.

Design Review: The element must describe and analyze the design review guidelines, including approval procedures and decision-making criteria, for their impact as potential constraints on housing supply and affordability. For example, the analysis should analyze the requirement to present plans to the neighbors and whether this requirement will remain for multifamily housing in areas covered by the various overlays. could describe required findings and discuss whether objective standards and guidelines improve development certainty and mitigate cost impacts.

The element must demonstrate this process is not a constraint or it must include a program to address this permitting requirement, as appropriate.

Local Ordinances: The element must specifically analyze locally adopted ordinances such as inclusionary ordinances or short-term rental ordinances that directly impact the cost and supply of residential development. The analysis should demonstrate PAGE 542 of 1856
City of San Marino’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 8 December 31, 2021
local efforts to remove governmental constraints that hinder the locality from meeting its share of the regional housing need and from meeting the need for housing for persons with disabilities, supportive housing, transitional housing, and emergency shelters.

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

SB 35 Streamlined Ministerial Approval Process: The element must include a program to adhere to the SB 35 Ministerial Approval Process for development projects that meet specific requirements.

Constraints on Housing for Persons with Disabilities: The element briefly describes its reasonable accommodation procedures. However, the element should also describe the process and decision-making criteria such as approval findings and analyze any potential constraints on housing for persons with disabilities. The element currently details that licensed residential care facilities serving six or fewer persons are permitted in the R-1 zone. However, it does not discuss how residential care facilities serving seven or more persons are permitted. If non-licensed group homes are only allowed with a conditional use permit, the element should analyze the process as a potential constraint on housing for persons with disabilities and add or modify programs as appropriate to ensure zoning permits group homes objectively with approval certainty. Finally, the element includes in its definition of family “This shall not include an individual paying rent to a landlord for the purpose of temporarily residing in a dwelling unit.” The element must clarify what is meant by this phrase and analyze its inclusion for potential constraints on persons with disabilities.

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

6. Analyze any special housing needs such as elderly; persons with disabilities, including a developmental disability; large families; farmworkers; families with female PAGE 543 of 1856
City of San Marino’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 9 December 31, 2021
heads of households; and families and persons in need of emergency shelter. (Gov.

Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(7).)
General: While the element includes data and a general discussion of housing challenges faced by special needs households, it still must provide an analysis of the existing needs and resources for each special need group including seniors, femaleheaded households, large householders, and extremely low-income (ELI) households. For example, the element should discuss the existing resources to meet housing needs (availability of shelter beds, number of large units, number of deed restricted units, etc.,), an assessment of any gaps in resources, and proposed policies, programs, and funding to help address those gaps.

Extremely Low-Income Households (ELI): While the element quantifies existing and projected ELI households, it must also analyze their housing needs. The analysis of ELI housing needs could consider tenure and rates of overcrowding and overpayment and consider existing housing resources.

Persons with Developmental Disabilities: The element provides (page 10) information on Special Needs Populations. However, the element must quantify the number of persons with developmental disabilities and analyze the special housing needs of persons with developmental disabilities. The term developmental disability refers to a severe and chronic disability attributable to a mental or physical impairment, such as cerebral palsy, epilepsy, or autism, that begins before individuals reach adulthood. (Welfare and Institutions Code, § 4512.) The analysis could include the following:
• a quantification of the total number of persons with developmental disabilities; • a description of the types of developmental disabilities; • a description of the housing need, including a description of the potential housing problems; and
• a discussion of resources, policies and programs including existing housing and services, for persons with developmental disabilities.

C. Housing Programs

1. Include a program which sets forth a schedule of actions during the planning period, each with a timeline for implementation, which may recognize that certain programs are ongoing, such that there will be beneficial impacts of the programs within the planning period, that the local government is undertaking or intends to undertake to implement the policies and achieve the goals and objectives of the Housing Element through the administration of land use and development controls, the provision of regulatory concessions and incentives, and the utilization of appropriate federal and state financing and subsidy programs when available. The program shall include an identification of the agencies and officials responsible for the implementation of the various actions. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c).)
To address the program requirements of Government Code section 65583, subdivision (c)(1-6), and to facilitate implementation, programs should include: (1) a description of the City’s specific role in implementation; (2) definitive implementation PAGE 544 of 1856
City of San Marino’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 10 December 31, 2021
timelines; (3) objectives, quantified where appropriate; and (4) identification of responsible agencies and officials.

All programs must be revised to demonstrate that they will have a beneficial impact within the planning period. Beneficial impact means specific commitment to deliverables, measurable metrics or objectives, definitive deadlines, dates, or benchmarks for implementation. Programs containing unclear language (e.g., “Evaluate”; “Consider”; “Encourage”; etc.) must be amended to include more specific and measurable actions. Deliverables should occur early in the planning period to ensure actual housing outcomes. The element must provide quantified objectives where appropriate and discrete timing for all programs (e.g., month and year) to account for how often the action will occur as well as to ensure a beneficial impact throughout the planning period.

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

Shortfall of Adequate Sites: Currently the element identifies a shortfall of adequate sites to accommodate the RHNA within the planning period. In order to provide sufficient sites to accommodate the RHNA, Program 1.6, 1.7, 1.11, 1.12, commit to, among other things, creating several new overlays and modification of the zoning code. However, in order to accommodate the lower-income need, programs must specifically commit to acreage, allowable densities and anticipated units. In addition, the program should specifically commit to rezoning pursuant to Government Code section 65583.2, subdivisions (h) and (i).

The program must commit to:
• permit owner-occupied and rental multifamily uses by-right for developments in which 20 percent or more of the units are affordable to lower income households. By-right means local government review must not require a conditional use permit, planned unit development permit, or other discretionary review or approval.
• accommodate a minimum of 16 units per site;
PAGE 545 of 1856
City of San Marino’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 11 December 31, 2021
• require a minimum density of 20 units per acre; and
• at least 50 percent of the lower-income need must be accommodated on sites designated for residential use only or on sites zoned for mixed uses that accommodate all of the very low and low-income housing need, if those sites:
o allow 100 percent residential use, and
o require residential use occupy 50 percent of the total floor area of a mixed-use project.

Program 1.15: While this program commits to the City following the Surplus Lands Act for sites such as the City-owned Stoneman property, it does not commit to the other action items outlined on page 50 including instigating the lot split, rezoning, the release of the request for proposals, and other actions necessary to facilitate development of this site within the planning period.

Programs to Facilitate Redevelopment of Nonvacant Sites: The element must include a program with specific actions and timelines to assist in the development of housing identified in the sites inventory. The program(s) could commit the City to adopting priority processing, granting fee waivers or deferrals, modifying development standards, granting concessions and incentives for housing developments that include units affordable to lower and moderate-income households; assisting, supporting or pursuing funding applications; and working with housing developers coordinate and implement a strategy for developing housing affordable to lower- and moderate-income households.

3. The Housing Element shall contain programs which assist in the development of adequate housing to meet the needs of extremely low-, very low-, low- and moderateincome households. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(2).) The element must include a program(s) with specific actions and timelines to assist in the development of housing for lower-income households, including ELI and special needs households. The program(s) could commit the City to adopting priority processing, granting fee waivers or deferrals, modifying development standards, granting concessions and incentives for housing developments that include units affordable to ELI and special needs households; proactive outreach and assistance to non-profit service providers and developers; prioritizing some funding for housing developments with ELI and special needs households; assisting, supporting or pursuing funding applications; and annual outreach with housing developers to coordinate and pursue housing opportunities.

4. Address and, where appropriate and legally possible, remove governmental and nongovernmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing, including housing for all income levels and housing for persons with disabilities. The program shall remove constraints to, and provide reasonable accommodations for housing designed for, intended for occupancy by, or with supportive services for, persons with disabilities. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(3).) As noted in Findings B4 and B5, the element requires a complete analysis of potential governmental and nongovernmental constraints. Depending upon the PAGE 546 of 1856
City of San Marino’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 12 December 31, 2021
results of that analysis, the City may need to revise or add programs and address and remove or mitigate any identified constraints.

5. Promote and affirmatively further fair housing opportunities and promote housing throughout the community or communities for all persons regardless of race, religion, sex, marital status, ancestry, national origin, color, familial status, or disability, and other characteristics protected by the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (Part 2.8 (commencing with Section 12900) of Division 3 of Title 2), Section 65008, and any other state and federal fair housing and planning law. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(5).) Program to Affirmatively Further Fair Housing:

As noted in Finding B1, the element must include a complete analysis of AFFH. The element must be revised to add goals and actions based on the outcomes of a complete analysis. In addition, While the element includes Program 3.2 which describes how the City responds to fair housing complaints, it must also include actions that promote and AFFH opportunities and address priority issues identified in the AFFH section of the element. For example, the element could include a program committing to implement Government Code section 8899.50(b) which requires the City to administer its programs and activities relating to housing and community development in a manner to AFFH and take no action that is materially inconsistent with its obligation to AFFH.

D. Quantified Objectives
Establish the number of housing units, by income level, that can be constructed, rehabilitated, and conserved over a five-year time frame. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (b)(1 & 2).)
The element must include quantified objectives to establish an estimate of housing units by income category that can be constructed, rehabilitated, and conserved over the planning period. While the element includes these objectives by income group for construction, the element must also describe any conservation or preservation objectives and describe rehabilitation by income category. Strong program objectives and commitments are especially critical for rehabilitation as survey results outlined on page 161 demonstrate that 65 percent of respondents are concerned that older homes will be deteriorating and in need of repair in the next ten years.

Dear Dr. Marcella Marlowe:

RE: City of San Marino’s 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Adopted Housing Element Thank you for submitting the City of San Marino’s (City) housing element adopted February 9, 2022 and received for review on February 11, 2022. Pursuant to Government Code section 65585, subdivision (h), the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is reporting the results of its review.

The adopted housing element addresses most statutory requirements described in HCD’s December 31, 2021 review; however, additional revisions are necessary to fully comply with State Housing Element Law (Article 10.6 of the Gov. Code), see enclosed Appendix.

For your information, pursuant to Assembly Bill 1398 (Chapter 358, Statutes of 2021), as the City failed to adopt a compliant housing element within 120 days of the statutory deadline (October 15, 2021), Programs 1.7, 1.8, 1.11, and 1.12 must be completed no later than one year from the statutory deadline. Otherwise, the local government’s housing element will no longer comply with State Housing Element Law, and HCD may revoke its finding of substantial compliance pursuant to Government Code section 65585, subdivision (i).

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

For your information, some general plan element updates are triggered by housing element adoption. HCD reminds the City to consider timing provisions and welcomes Attachment 3

APPENDIX

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

Housing element technical assistance information is available on HCD’s website at http://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/housing-element/housing-element-memos.shtml.

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

A. Review and Revision
Review the previous element to evaluate the appropriateness, effectiveness, and progress in implementation, and reflect the results of this review in the revised element. (Gov. Code, § 65588 (a) and (b).)
The element includes revisions to Table 4 (p. 22) and additional text (p. 19) describing the connection of Table 3 to Table 4. However, the element should quantify the actual results of the prior element’s programs where possible. For example, Program 1.3 of Table 4 states that the previous planning period had a goal of 16 second units over the previous planning period and states that the program was “achieved”. The element should quantify how many second units were constructed to better evaluate the effectiveness of the program and revise current programs as appropriate. In addition, the element must provide an explanation of the effectiveness of goals, policies, and related actions in meeting the housing needs of special needs populations (e.g., elderly, persons with disabilities, large households, female-headed households, farmworkers and persons experiencing homelessness). Please see HCD’s December 31, 2021 review.

B. Housing Needs, Resources, and Constraints

1. Affirmatively further[ing] fair housing in accordance with Chapter 15 (commencing with Section 8899.50) of Division 1 of Title 2…shall include an assessment of fair housing in the jurisdiction. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(10)(A).) Fair Housing Enforcement and Outreach: The element includes an updated Program

3.1 (p. 38) and additional information (p. 97) on enforcement and outreach. However, the element must further describe the City’s ability to provide enforcement and outreach capacity and describe what necessary specific actions the city will take to remedy complaints and maintain compliance. This can consist of actions such as the City’s ability to investigate complaints, obtain remedies, or the City’s ability to engage in fair housing testing.

PAGE 550 of 1856
City of San Marino’s 6th Cycle Adopted Housing Element Page 2 April 12, 2022
Disproportionate Housing Needs and Displacement: The element includes the City of San Marino: Insight Market Analysis (Appendix C) to supplement data related to disproportionate housing needs. However, the element should analyze this and other data for trends and patterns in relation to the disproportionate housing needs and displacement and conclude with a summary of issues. Wherever possible, the analysis and summary should include a discussion at a geographic level such as neighborhoods or any other sub-section of a locality, appropriate to better determine any locational trends.

Site Inventory: The element did not address this finding. While the element states that sites are located throughout the community; and as entire City is high resourced and meets requirements to AFFH; the element must still include the required analysis to support these conclusions. For example, the analysis should discuss the magnitude of the impact including the number of units by income group relative to locations or neighborhoods within the City, including any isolation of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) and then address whether sites exacerbate or improve existing patterns for all components of the assessment of fair housing (e.g., segregation and integration, access to opportunity).

Goals, Priorities, Metrics, and Milestones: The element did not address this finding.

Goals and actions must significantly seek to overcome contributing factors to fair housing issues. Programs generally must address enhancing housing mobility strategies; encouraging development of new affordable housing in high resource areas; improving place-based strategies to encourage community conservation and revitalization, including preservation of existing affordable housing; and protecting existing residents from displacement. Given that most of the City is considered a high and highest resource community (pg. 3-50), the element could focus on programs that enhance housing mobility and encourage development of more housing choices and affordable housing. Furthermore, the element must include metrics and milestones for evaluating progress on programs, actions, and fair housing results. Please see HCD’s December 31, 2021 review for additional information.

2. Include an analysis and documentation of household characteristics, including level of payment compared to ability to pay, housing characteristics, including overcrowding, and housing stock condition. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(2).) Units in Need Rehabilitation or Replacement: The element includes a list of housing assistance programs (p. 68) and some information on substandard housing (p. 126) but does not address this finding. Please see HCD’s December 31, 2021 review for additional information.

3. An inventory of land suitable and available for residential development, including vacant sites and sites having realistic and demonstrated potential for redevelopment during the planning period to meet the locality’s housing need for a designated income level, and an analysis of the relationship of zoning and public facilities and services to these sites. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(3).)
PAGE 551 of 1856
City of San Marino’s 6th Cycle Adopted Housing Element Page 3 April 12, 2022
Realistic Capacity: The element was not revised to address this finding. The element seems to rely on the establishment of new overlays to accommodate most of the RHNA.

However, it remains unclear what the proposed minimum and maximum allowable densities will be for each overlay area. The element should clarify where it is using minimum density to estimate capacity and when that capacity is based on the gross acreage or net acreage as the assumptions stated in the analysis do not seem to match the calculations in the sites inventory. Please be aware, for sites to accommodate the shortfall of lower-income RHNA, the overlay must require a minimum of 20 units per acre. In addition, as per the previous review, the element must analyze the likelihood that the identified units will be developed as noted in the inventory in zones that allow 100 percent nonresidential uses (e.g., mixed-use) or in areas that will be subject to an overlay, pursuant to the underlying zoning.

Small Sites: The element did not address this finding. Please see HCD’s December 31, 2021 review for more information.

Suitability of Nonvacant Sites: The element did not address this finding. While the element now includes an economic development market analysis in Appendix C, referenced in the City’s response letter to HCD (Attachment B), it is unclear how this information relates to the redevelopment potential of the sites selected for the inventory.

Please see HCD’s December 31, 2021 review for additional information.

In addition, the housing element relies upon nonvacant sites to accommodate more than 50 percent of the RHNA for lower-income households. Please be aware absent findings (e.g., adoption resolution) based on substantial evidence that uses are likely to discontinue within the planning period, the existing uses will be presumed to impede additional residential development and will not be utilized toward demonstrating adequate sites to accommodate the RHNA. HCD is not aware that the City has made the appropriate finding. Any future re-adoption of the housing element must include the appropriate finding as part of the adoption resolution.

Missing Middle Projections: The element was not revised to address this finding. The element included (p. 60) Program 1.8 to amend the zoning code to allow missing middle housing. However, this analysis must include a site-specific inventory where the ordinance is being applied and include a nonvacant sites analysis demonstrating the likelihood of redevelopment and that the existing use will not constitute as an impediment. The element should support this analysis with local information such as local developer or owner interest to utilize zoning and incentives established through the ordinance. Please see HCD’s December 31, 2021 review for additional information.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU): The element revised (p. 29) Programs 1.1, 1.2, and 1.4 to include monitoring components and annual ADU and JADU reporting as part of the General Plan Annual Report. However, pursuant to HCD’s December 31, 2021 review, it is not clear if the ADU and JADU production level of 30 ADU and/or junior accessory dwelling unit (JADU) per year will be achievable in the planning period given historic averages of 9 units per year since 2018. As a result, the element should be updated to PAGE 552 of 1856
City of San Marino’s 6th Cycle Adopted Housing Element Page 4 April 12, 2022
include a realistic estimate of the potential for ADUs and include policies and programs that incentivize the production of ADUs.

Electronic Sites Inventory: While the City submitted an electronic sites inventory, it was not prepared with standards, forms, and definitions adopted by HCD. Please see HCD’s housing element webpage at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/housingelement/index.shtml for a copy of the form and instructions. The City can reach out to HCD at [email protected] for technical assistance.

Zoning for a Variety of Housing Types:
• Emergency Shelters: The element states (p. 26) the zoning code was updated to allow emergency shelters by right in 2019, with the approval of land use permit in the C-1 zone. The element lists some development and management standards.

However, the element must demonstrate that the permit processing, development and management standards are consistent with Government Code section 65583 (a)(4)(A). Standards must be designed to encourage and facilitate the development of, or conversion to, an emergency shelter. As stated in the previous review, the element must analyze the ten-bed limit and parking standards for every five (5) beds or one parking space for each bedroom designated for families with children, as potential constraints. The element must also demonstrate the commercial zone has sufficient capacity to accommodate the housing need for at least one emergency shelter.
• Low Barrier Navigation Centers: This finding was not addressed. Please see HCD’s December 31, 2021 review for more information.

4. An analysis of potential and actual governmental constraints upon the maintenance, improvement, or development of housing for all income levels, including the types of housing identified in paragraph (1) of subdivision (c), and for persons with disabilities as identified in the analysis pursuant to paragraph (7), including land use controls, building codes and their enforcement, site improvements, fees and other exactions required of developers, and local processing and permit procedures. The analysis shall also demonstrate local efforts to remove governmental constraints that hinder the locality from meeting its share of the regional housing need in accordance with Government Code section 65584 and from meeting the need for housing for persons with disabilities, supportive housing, transitional housing, and emergency shelters identified pursuant to paragraph (7).

Design Review: The element did not address this finding. Program 1.7 states that the City will facilitate preparation of objective design standards within the Housing Overlay.

However, this seems to be only for projects that use SB 35 streamlining. The element should clarify if all projects under the housing element will be allowed pursuant to objective design standards and if the requirement to present plans to neighbors will remain for multifamily housing in areas covered by the various overlays. Please see HCD’s December 31, 2021 review for more information.

PAGE 553 of 1856
City of San Marino’s 6th Cycle Adopted Housing Element Page 5 April 12, 2022
Local Ordinances: This finding was not addressed. Please see HCD’s December 31, 2021 review for more information.

Constraints on Housing for Persons with Disabilities: This finding was not addressed.

Please see HCD’s December 31, 2021 review for additional information.

5. An analysis of potential and actual nongovernmental constraints upon the maintenance, improvement, or development of housing for all income levels, including the availability of financing, the price of land, the cost of construction, the requests to develop housing at densities below those anticipated in the analysis required by subdivision (c) of Government Code section 65583.2, and the length of time between receiving approval for a housing development and submittal of an application for building permits for that housing development that hinder the construction of a locality’s share of the regional housing need in accordance with Government Code section 65584. The analysis shall also demonstrate local efforts to remove nongovernmental constraints that create a gap between the locality’s planning for the development of housing for all income levels and the construction of that housing. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(6).) This finding was not addressed. Please see HCD’s December 31, 2021 review for more information.

6. Analyze any special housing needs such as elderly; persons with disabilities, including a developmental disability; large families; farmworkers; families with female heads of households; and families and persons in need of emergency shelter. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(7).)
General: The element provided (p. 67) a listing of local housing programs that could be applicable to the City. However, this finding was not fully addressed. Please see HCD’s December 31, 2021 review.

Persons with Developmental Disabilities: This finding was not addressed. Please see HCD’s December 31, 2021 review.

C. Housing Programs

1. Include a program which sets forth a schedule of actions during the planning period, each with a timeline for implementation, which may recognize that certain programs are ongoing, such that there will be beneficial impacts of the programs within the planning period, that the local government is undertaking or intends to undertake to implement the policies and achieve the goals and objectives of the Housing Element through the administration of land use and development controls, the provision of regulatory concessions and incentives, and the utilization of appropriate federal and state financing and subsidy programs when available. The program shall include an identification of the agencies and officials responsible for the implementation of the various actions. (Gov.

Code, § 65583, subd. (c).)
To address the program requirements of Government Code section 65583, subdivision (c)(1-6), and to facilitate implementation, programs should include: (1) a description of PAGE 554 of 1856
City of San Marino’s 6th Cycle Adopted Housing Element Page 6 April 12, 2022
the City’s specific role in implementation; (2) definitive implementation timelines; (3) objectives, quantified where appropriate; and (4) identification of responsible agencies and officials.

As stated in the prior review, programs must be revised to demonstrate that they will have a beneficial impact within the planning period. Beneficial impact means specific commitment to deliverables, measurable metrics or objectives, definitive deadlines, dates, or benchmarks for implementation. Programs containing unclear language (e.g., “Evaluate”; “Consider”; “Encourage”; etc.) should be amended to include more specific and measurable actions. Programs with unclear language that should be assessed include Programs 1.2, 1.3, 1.7. 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, and 3.5.

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

Shortfall of Adequate Sites: Programs 1.7, 1.11, and 1.12 commit to the rezoning sites with an overlay to accommodate the lower-income RHNA. However, while the programs were amended to commit to provisions facilitate development, further revisions are necessary to ensure compliance with Government Code sections 65583.2 (h) and (i).

The element must include the following revisions:
• The element currently says it will “consider” adoption overlays. Program(s) must specifically commit to rezoning to accommodate 100 percent of the shortfall of sites to accommodate the lower-income RHNA.
• The element must clearly commit to minimum densities of at least 20 units per acre. Currently the element references varying densities (16-24 units in one reference and 20 units in another). Please note the overlay should not establish 20 units per acre minimum as both a minimum and maximum density but rather allow for a range of density so as not to constrain potential housing development. • Attachment B indicates that 100 percent housing on sites located in the C-1 zone is allowed under the Housing Overlay if they are without frontage on Huntington Drive. It is HCD’s understanding that ground floor commercial would be required for these sites. However, pursuant to Government Code section 65585.2 (h) PAGE 555 of 1856
City of San Marino’s 6th Cycle Adopted Housing Element Page 7 April 12, 2022
100 percent residential must be allowed on all sites rezoned to accommodate the shortfall for lower-income RHNA.
• As stated above, it is unclear whether the City will adopt objective design standards for all new residential projects within the overlay or just projects that qualify for SB 35 streamlining. Please be aware, pursuant to Government Code section 65583.2 (i) the phrase “use by-right” means that the local government’s review of the owner-occupied or multifamily residential use may not require a conditional use permit, planned unit development permit, or other discretionary local government review or approval that would constitute a “project” for purposes of Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code.
• Finally, the element should commit to ensuring that development standards adopted as part of the overlay including height, lot coverage, parking will facilitate the development of multifamily housing at the allowable densities assumed in the inventory.

Programs 1.1 and 1.2: While the program commits to monitoring ADU production, it should also monitor ADU affordability.

Program 3.4: The programs must be revised with clear commitment to address the provision of single-room occupancy housing in the C-1 zone.

3. The Housing Element shall contain programs which assist in the development of adequate housing to meet the needs of extremely low-, very low-, low- and moderateincome households. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(2).) The element contains Programs 1.1-1.4 for ADUs, Program 3.1 for reasonable accommodation, and Program 3.2 for access to fair housing service providers.

However, the element must include a program(s) with specific actions and timelines to assist in the development of housing for lower-income households, including extremely low-income (ELI) and special needs housing. Please see HCD’s December 31, 2021 review for more information.

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

5. Promote and affirmatively further fair housing opportunities and promote housing throughout the community or communities for all persons regardless of race, religion, sex, marital status, ancestry, national origin, color, familial status, or disability, and other PAGE 556 of 1856
City of San Marino’s 6th Cycle Adopted Housing Element Page 8 April 12, 2022
characteristics protected by the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (Part 2.8 (commencing with Section 12900) of Division 3 of Title 2), Section 65008, and any other state and federal fair housing and planning law. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(5).) As noted in Finding B1, the element must include a complete analysis of AFFH. The element must be revised to add goals and actions based on the outcomes of a complete analysis.

Dear Isidro Figueroa:

RE: City of San Marino’s 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Subsequent Draft Housing Element Thank you for submitting the City of San Marino’s (City) draft housing element received for review on May 29, 2024. Pursuant to Government Code section 65585, subdivision (b), the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is reporting the results of its review. Our review was facilitated by a telephone conversation with you and your consultants on July 1, 2024. In addition, HCD considered comments from CalHDF pursuant to Government Code section 65585, subdivision (c).

The draft element addresses many statutory requirements; however, revisions will be necessary to substantially comply with State Housing Element Law (Gov. Code, § 65580 et seq). The enclosed Appendix describes the revisions needed to comply with State Housing Element Law.

As a reminder, the City’s 6th cycle housing element was due October 15, 2021. As of today, the City has not completed the housing element process for the 6th cycle. The City’s 5th cycle housing element no longer satisfies statutory requirements. HCD encourages the City to revise the element as described above, adopt, and submit to HCD to regain housing element compliance.

Pursuant to Assembly Bill 1398 (Chapter 358, Statutes of 2021), a jurisdiction that failed to adopt a compliant housing element within one year from the statutory deadline cannot be found in compliance until rezones to accommodate a shortfall of sites pursuant to Government Code section 65583, subdivision (c), paragraph (1), subparagraph (A) and Government Code section 65583.2, subdivision (c) are completed. As this year has passed and Programs 1.7, 1.8, and 1.9 have not been completed, the housing element is out of compliance and will remain out of compliance until the rezoning have been completed.

Attachment 4

Public participation in the development, adoption and implementation of the housing element is essential to effective housing planning. Throughout the housing element process, the City should continue to engage the community, including organizations that represent lower-income and special needs households, by making information regularly available and considering and incorporating comments where appropriate. Please be aware, any revisions to the element must be posted on the local government’s website and to email a link to all individuals and organizations that have previously requested notices relating to the local government’s housing element at least seven days before submitting to HCD.

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

For your information, some general plan element updates are triggered by housing element adoption. HCD reminds the City to consider timing provisions and welcomes the opportunity to provide assistance. For information, please see the Technical Advisories issued by the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research at:
https://www.opr.ca.gov/planning/general-plan/guidelines.html.

We are committed to assisting the City in addressing all statutory requirements of State Housing Element Law. If you have any questions or need additional technical assistance, please contact Sayed Murad, of our staff, at [email protected].

Sincerely,
Melinda Coy
Proactive Housing Accountability Chief

APPENDIX

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

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

A. Housing Needs, Resources, and Constraints

1. Affirmatively further[ing] fair housing in accordance with Chapter 15 (commencing with Section 8899.50) of Division 1 of Title 2…shall include an assessment of fair housing in the jurisdiction. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(10)(A).) Site Inventory: While the element states that sites are located throughout the community; and as entire City is high resourced and meets requirements to Affirmatiely Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH); the element must still include the required analysis to support these conclusions. For example, the analysis should discuss the magnitude of the impact including the number of units by income group relative to locations or neighborhoods within the City, including any isolation of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) and then address whether sites exacerbate or improve existing patterns for all components of the assessment of fair housing (e.g., segregation and integration, access to opportunity). Additionally, the element should include an analysis of multifamily opportunities available to a variety of incomes and household types.

Goals, Priorities, Metrics, and Milestones: The element must still address this finding.

Goals and actions must significantly seek to overcome contributing factors to fair housing issues. Programs generally must address enhancing housing mobility strategies; encouraging development of new affordable housing in high resource areas; improving place-based strategies to encourage community conservation and revitalization, including preservation of existing affordable housing; and protecting existing residents from displacement. Given that most of the City is considered a high and highest resource community; the element could focus on programs that enhance housing mobility and encourage development of more housing choices and affordable housing. The element should also include specific programs that assist in the development of multifamily housing opportunities for households with lower-incomes beyond the RHNA. Furthermore, the element must include metrics and milestones for evaluating progress on programs, actions, and fair housing results beyond the RHNA.

Please see HCD’s prior reviews for additional information.

PAGE 560 of 1856
City of San Marino’s 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Subsequent Draft Housing Element Page 4 July 25, 2024

2. An inventory of land suitable and available for residential development, including vacant sites and sites having realistic and demonstrated potential for redevelopment during the planning period to meet the locality’s housing need for a designated income level, and an analysis of the relationship of zoning and public facilities and services to these sites. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(3).)
Suitability of Nonvacant Sites: While the element now includes a detailed description of existing uses for nonvacant sites, this alone is not adequate to demonstrate the potential for redevelopment in the planning period. In addition, the element needs to analyze the extent that existing uses may impede additional residential development.

The element can summarize past experiences converting existing uses to higher density residential development, include current market demand for the existing use, provide analysis of existing leases or contracts that would perpetuate the existing use or prevent additional residential development, include statements of owner interest in redevelopment, include current information on development trends and market conditions in the City and relate those trends to the sites identified, and discuss the availability of financial or other incentives. While the element includes some discussion of development trends for mixed use sites, these examples come from outside the community in jurisdiction permitting densities (56-68 du/ac) far greater than those allowed under the city’s proposed Mixed-Use (MU) Zone (20-30 du/ac). The element could also consider indicators such as age and condition of the existing structure expressed developer interest, low improvement to land value ratio, and other factors.

In addition, the housing element relies upon nonvacant sites to accommodate more than 50 percent of the RHNA for lower-income households. Please be aware absent findings (e.g., adoption resolution) based on substantial evidence that uses are likely to discontinue within the planning period, the existing uses will be presumed to impede additional residential development and will not be utilized toward demonstrating adequate sites to accommodate the RHNA. HCD is not aware that the City has made the appropriate finding. Any future re-adoption of the housing element must include the appropriate finding as part of the adoption resolution.

The element has identified a portion of Southwestern Academy as an opportunity site.

HCD has received public comments from Southwestern Academy, dated July 28, 2021, indicating that they will not be using any portion of their property toward residential development. The element must consider and address public comments as part of the analysis. Based on a complete analysis, the element may need to remove or revise the inclusion of this property in the inventory.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU): In response to HCD’s prior review, the element now includes some additional information on ADU trends. However, this data still does not support an assumption of 58 ADUs annually given historical averages of 16 units per year since 2019. The element should be revised to include updated permit information for 2023 and 2024 to support the City’s ADU assumptions or adjust projections to a lesser number of ADUs. The element should also include further policies and programs that incentivize the production of ADUs. In addition, the element must still add a program to amend the City’s ADU ordinance upon HCD’s review, if necessary, within six months.

PAGE 561 of 1856
City of San Marino’s 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Subsequent Draft Housing Element Page 5 July 25, 2024
Electronic Sites Inventory: While the City submitted an electronic sites inventory, it was not prepared with standards, forms, and definitions adopted by HCD. Please see HCD’s housing element webpage at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/housingelement/index.shtml for a copy of the form and instructions. The City can reach out to HCD at [email protected] for technical assistance.

Zoning for a Variety of Housing Types:
• Emergency Shelters: The element includes an updated discussion of the development standards and suitability of the C-1 zone. However, the element must still analyze the ten-bed limit and parking standards for every five (5) beds or one parking space for each bedroom designated for families with children, as potential constraints.
• Low Barrier Navigation Centers: The element was revised to include Program

3.7, which will allow for Low Barrier Navigation Centers to be permitted by-right in the C-1 zone. However, it must allow Low Barrier Navigation Centers as a byright use in all zones where multifamily and mixed use are permitted, including the H&C zone.

3. An analysis of potential and actual governmental constraints upon the maintenance, improvement, or development of housing for all income levels, including the types of housing identified in paragraph (1) of subdivision (c), and for persons with disabilities as identified in the analysis pursuant to paragraph (7), including land use controls, building codes and their enforcement, site improvements, fees and other exactions required of developers, and local processing and permit procedures. The analysis shall also demonstrate local efforts to remove governmental constraints that hinder the locality from meeting its share of the regional housing need in accordance with Government Code section 65584 and from meeting the need for housing for persons with disabilities, supportive housing, transitional housing, and emergency shelters identified pursuant to paragraph (7).

Processing and Permit Procedures: The element newly introduces multifamily zones to the city and describes their development standards and anticipated densities. It should also describe the processing procedures for a multifamily development. The analysis should address the approval body, the number of public hearing if any, approval findings and any other relevant information. The analysis should address impacts on housing cost, supply, timing, and approval certainty. For example, the element should identify and analyze approval findings for impacts on approval certainty, the presence of processes or guidelines to promote certainty and add or modify programs as appropriate.

Finally, the element should address public comments and discuss compliance with the Permit Streamlining Act and intersections with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and timing requirements, including streamlining determinations and add or modify programs as appropriate.

PAGE 562 of 1856
City of San Marino’s 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Subsequent Draft Housing Element Page 6 July 25, 2024
Design Review: The element must describe and analyze the design review guidelines and process, including approval procedures and decision-making criteria, for their impact as potential constraints on housing supply and affordability. For example, the analysis could describe required findings and discuss whether objective standards and guidelines improve development certainty and mitigate cost impacts. The element must demonstrate this process is not a constraint or it must include a program to address this permitting requirement, as appropriate. Additionally, the element should discuss the typical review process for
Constraints on Housing for Persons with Disabilities: The element identifies approval processes for granting a reasonable accommodation as the procedures prescribed for a conditional use permit (CUP). However, reasonable accommodation should be a unique exception process from a CUP, especially given its importance in addressing barriers to housing for persons with disabilities. The element should include a program to amend the Reasonable Accommodation Ordinance and remove constraints, namely the use of a discretionary review by the planning commission.

In addition, group homes for seven or more persons appears to be excluded from several zones allowing residential uses. Program 3.8 should commit (regardless of licensing) to permit group homes for seven or more persons in all zones allowing residential uses similar to other residential uses of the same type in the same zone.

Finally, the element should clarify if non-licensed residential care facilities serving six or fewer persons are permitted by-right in the R-1 zone.

4. Analyze any special housing needs such as elderly; persons with disabilities, including a developmental disability; large families; farmworkers; families with female heads of households; and families and persons in need of emergency shelter. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(7).)
General: While the element quantifies the City’s special needs populations, it must also analyze their special housing needs. For a complete analysis of each population group, the element should discuss challenges faced by the population, the existing resources to meet those needs (availability senior housing units, number of large units, number of deed restricted units, number of persons in poverty, etc.,), an assessment of any gaps in resources, and proposed policies, programs, and funding to help address those gaps.

Persons with Developmental Disabilities: While the element now includes a quantification of persons with developmental disabilities, it must still include a discussion of housing needs and existing resources.

B. Housing Programs

1. Include a program which sets forth a schedule of actions during the planning period, each with a timeline for implementation, which may recognize that certain programs are ongoing, such that there will be beneficial impacts of the programs within the planning period, that the local government is undertaking or intends to undertake to implement the policies and achieve the goals and objectives of the Housing Element through the PAGE 563 of 1856
City of San Marino’s 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Subsequent Draft Housing Element Page 7 July 25, 2024
administration of land use and development controls, the provision of regulatory concessions and incentives, and the utilization of appropriate federal and state financing and subsidy programs when available. The program shall include an identification of the agencies and officials responsible for the implementation of the various actions. (Gov.

Code, § 65583, subd. (c).)
To address the program requirements of Government Code section 65583, subdivision (c)(1-6), and to facilitate implementation, programs should include: (1) a description of the City’s specific role in implementation; (2) definitive implementation timelines; (3) objectives, quantified where appropriate; and (4) identification of responsible agencies and officials.

As stated in the prior review, programs must be revised to demonstrate that they will have a beneficial impact within the planning period. Beneficial impact means specific commitment to deliverables, measurable metrics or objectives, definitive deadlines, dates, or benchmarks for implementation. Programs containing unclear language (e.g., “Evaluate”; “Consider”; “Encourage”; etc.) should be amended to include more specific and measurable actions. Programs with unclear language that should be assessed include Programs 1.2, 1.3, and 3.5.

2. Identify actions that will be taken to make sites available during the planning period with appropriate zoning and development standards and with services and facilities to accommodate that portion of the city’s or county’s share of the regional housing need for each income level that could not be accommodated on sites identified in the inventory completed pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) without rezoning, and to comply with the requirements of Government Code section 65584.09. Sites shall be identified as needed to facilitate and encourage the development of a variety of types of housing for all income levels, including multifamily rental housing, factory-built housing, mobilehomes, housing for agricultural employees, supportive housing, single-room occupancy units, emergency shelters, and transitional housing. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(1).)
As noted in Finding A2, the element does not include a complete site analysis; therefore, the adequacy of sites and zoning were not established. Based on the results of a complete sites inventory and analysis, the City may need to add or revise programs to address a shortfall of sites or zoning available to encourage a variety of housing types. In addition, the element should be revised as follows:

City-Owned Sites: The element identified City-Owned sites to accommodate a portion of the RHNA. The element should revise Program 1.14 with numerical objectives that ensure compliance with the Surplus Land Act, provide incentives and actions along with a schedule to facilitate development of City-Owned sites. Actions should include outreach with developers, issuing requests for proposals, incentives, fee waivers, priority processing and financial assistance.

3. Address and, where appropriate and legally possible, remove governmental and nongovernmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing, including housing for all income levels and housing for persons with PAGE 564 of 1856
City of San Marino’s 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Subsequent Draft Housing Element Page 8 July 25, 2024
disabilities. The program shall remove constraints to, and provide reasonable accommodations for housing designed for, intended for occupancy by, or with supportive services for, persons with disabilities. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(3).) As noted in Findings A3, the element requires a complete analysis of potential governmental constraints. Depending upon the results of that analysis, the City may need to revise or add programs and address and remove or mitigate any identified constraints.

4. Promote and affirmatively further fair housing opportunities and promote housing throughout the community or communities for all persons regardless of race, religion, sex, marital status, ancestry, national origin, color, familial status, or disability, and other characteristics protected by the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (Part 2.8 (commencing with Section 12900) of Division 3 of Title 2), Section 65008, and any other state and federal fair housing and planning law. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(5).) As noted in Finding A1, the element must include a complete analysis of AFFH. The element must be revised to add goals and actions based on the outcomes of a complete analysis.

Dear Isidro Figueroa:

RE: City of San Marino’s 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Revised Housing Element Thank you for submitting the City of San Marino’s (City) revised draft housing element update received for review on August 30, 2024, along with revisions received on October 22, 2024. Pursuant to Government Code section 65585, subdivision (b), the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is reporting the results of its review. In addition, HCD considered comments from CalHDF pursuant to Government Code section 65585, subdivision (c).

The revised draft housing element meets the statutory requirements described in HCD’s July 26, 2024 review. The housing element will substantially comply with State Housing Element Law (Gov. Code, § 65580 et seq) when it is adopted, submitted to and approved by HCD, in accordance with Government Code section 65585, subdivision (g) and all rezones are completed per Government Code section 65588, subdivision (e)(4).

For your information, pursuant to Government Code section 65583.4 and 65588, subdivision (e)(4), as the City did not adopt a compliant housing element within one year of the statutory deadline (October 15, 2021), HCD cannot find the housing element in compliance until programs (e.g., Programs 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, and 1.17) to address a shortfall of capacity to accommodate the regional housing need allocation (RHNA), pursuant to Government Code sections 65583, subdivision (c)(1)(A) and 65583.2, subdivision (c) are completed. Once the City completes the program, a copy of the resolution or ordinance should be transmitted to HCD. HCD will review the documentation and issue correspondence identifying the updated status of the City’s housing element compliance.

In addition, for your information, If the element relies on nonvacant sites to accommodate 50 percent or more of the housing needs for lower-income households, requirements are triggered to make findings based on substantial evidence (as part of adoption) that the existing use is not an impediment and will likely discontinue in the planning period.

For your information, pursuant to Government Code section 65583.3, subdivision (b), the City must utilize standards, forms, and definitions adopted by HCD when preparing the sites inventory and submit an electronic version of the sites inventory. While the City has submitted an electronic version of the sites inventory, if changes occur, any future re-adopted versions of the element must also submit the electronic version of the sites inventory.

Public participation in the development, adoption and implementation of the housing element is essential to effective housing planning. Throughout the housing element process, the City must continue to engage the community, including organizations that represent lower-income and special needs households, by making information regularly available while considering and incorporating comments where appropriate. Please be aware, any revisions to the element must be posted on the local government’s website and to email a link to all individuals and organizations that have previously requested notices relating to the local government’s housing element at least seven days before submitting to HCD.

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

For your information, some general plan element updates are triggered by housing element adoption. HCD reminds the City to consider timing provisions and welcomes the opportunity to provide assistance. For information, please see the Technical Advisories issued by the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research at:
https://www.opr.ca.gov/planning/general-plan/guidelines.html.

HCD appreciates the hard work and dedication the City of San Marino provided in preparation of the City’s housing element and looks forward to receiving the City’s adopted housing element. If you have any questions or need additional technical assistance, please contact Sayed Murad, of our staff, at [email protected].

Sincerely,
Melinda Coy
Proactive Housing Accountability Chief

SECTION 3. ENVIRONMENTAL. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), also known as the "general rule" or "common sense" exemption, CEQA exempts activities that can be seen with certainty to have no possibility for causing a significant effect on the environment. The CEQA Guidelines state in that section that "A project is exempt from CEQA if ... [T]he activity is covered by common sense that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA."
The 2021-2029 Housing Element Zoning Code Amendment reconciles the language of the City’s Zoning Ordinance with the City’s State mandated 2021-2029 Housing Element policies and programs.

The proposed project would not result in changes to the physical environment, nor would it result in potential environmental impacts beyond those addressed in the adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element IS/ND (SCH 2022010208).

SECTION 4. SEVERABILITY. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this Chapter, or its application to any person or circumstance, if for any reason is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases of this Chapter, or its application to any other person or circumstance. The City Council declares that it would have adopted each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more other sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases hereof be declared invalid or unenforceable.

A. Purpose: In accordance with federal and state fair housing laws, it is the purpose of this section to allow for reasonable accommodations in the city's zoning and land use regulations, policies, and practices when reasonably necessary to provide an individual with a disability an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling.

B. Permit Application:

1. Applicant: Any person with a disability, his or her representative, or a developer or provider of housing for individuals with a disability may request for reasonable accommodation. The Community Development Director shall approve a reasonable accommodation only for the benefit of one or more individuals with a disability.

2. Application: An application for a reasonable accommodation from a zoning regulation, policy, or practice shall be made on a form specified by the planning and building director. No fee shall be required for a request for reasonable accommodation, but the prescribed fees shall be paid for all necessary discretionary permits.

3. Other Discretionary Permits: If the project for which the request for reasonable accommodation is made requires a discretionary permit or approval, then the applicant may file the request for reasonable accommodation together with the application for the discretionary permit or approval. The processing procedures of the discretionary permit shall govern the processing of the discretionary permit.

4. Required Submittals: In addition to materials required under other applicable provisions of this code, an application for reasonable accommodation shall include the following:
a. Documentation that the applicant is: 1) an individual with a disability; 2) applying on behalf of one or more individuals with a disability; or 3) a developer or provider of housing for one or more individuals with a disability;
b. The specific exception from or modification to the zoning code provision, policy, or practices the applicant is requesting;
c. Documentation that the specific exception or modification the applicant is requesting is necessary to provide one or more individuals with a disability an equal opportunity to use and enjoy the residence;
d. Any other information that the director reasonably concludes is necessary to determine whether the findings required by this section to approve a reasonable accommodation can be made, so long as any request for information regarding the disability of the individuals benefited complies PAGE 584 of 1856
18 with fair housing law protections and the privacy rights of the affected individuals.

C. Review Procedure: The Community Development Director shall review the reasonable accommodation application and make a written decision within 45 days to either approve, conditionally approve, or deny the request for reasonable accommodation in compliance with subsection D required findings below.

D. Required Findings: The decision to approve, conditionally approve, or deny a request for a reasonable accommodation shall be made in writing and shall be based on the following findings, all of which are required for approval:

1. The requested accommodation is requested by or on the behalf of one or more individuals with a disability protected under the fair housing laws.

2. The requested accommodation is necessary to provide one or more individuals with a disability an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling.

3. The requested accommodation will not impose an undue financial or administrative burden on the city as "undue financial or administrative burden" is defined in fair housing laws and interpretive case law.

4. The requested accommodation will not result in a fundamental alteration in the nature of the city's zoning program, as "fundamental alteration" is defined in fair housing laws and interpretive case law.

5. The requested accommodation will not, under the specific facts of the case, result in a direct threat to the health or safety of other individuals or substantial physical damage to the property of others.

E. Alternative Reasonable Accommodations: In making these findings, the Community Development Director may approve alternative reasonable accommodations that provide an equivalent level of benefit to the applicant.

F. Consideration Factors - Necessity: The Community Development Director may consider, but is not limited to considering, the following factors in determining whether the requested accommodation is necessary to provide one or more individuals with a disability an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling:

1. Whether the requested accommodation will affirmatively enhance the quality of life of one or more individuals with a disability;

2. Whether the individual or individuals with a disability will be denied an equal opportunity to enjoy the housing type of their choice absent the accommodation;

3. In the case of a residential care facility, whether the requested accommodation is necessary to make facilities of a similar nature or operation economically viable in light of the particularities of the relevant market and market participants; and PAGE 585 of 1856
19 4. In the case of a residential care facility, whether the existing supply of facilities of a similar nature and operation in the community is sufficient to provide individuals with a disability an equal opportunity to live in a residential setting.

G. Consideration Factors - Fundamental Alteration To Zoning Program: The Community Development Director may consider, but is not limited to considering, the following factors in determining whether the requested accommodation would require a fundamental alteration in the nature of the city's zoning program:

1. Whether the requested accommodation would fundamentally alter the character of the neighborhood;

2. Whether the requested accommodation would result in a substantial increase in traffic or insufficient parking;

3. Whether the requested accommodation would substantially undermine any express purpose of either the city's general plan or an applicable specific plan; and

4. In the case of a residential care facility, whether the requested accommodation would create an institutionalized environment due to the number of and distance between facilities that are similar in nature or operation.

H. Rules While Decision Is Pending: While a request for reasonable accommodation is pending, all laws and regulations otherwise applicable to the property that is the subject of the request shall remain in full force and effect.

I. Effective Date: No reasonable accommodation shall become effective until the decision to grant such accommodation shall have become final by reason of the expiration of time to make an appeal. In the event an appeal is filed, the reasonable accommodation shall not become effective unless and until a decision is made by the Planning Commission on such appeal.

J. Expiration: Any reasonable accommodation approved in accordance with the terms of this chapter shall expire within twenty four (24) months from the effective date of approval or at an alternative time specified as a condition of approval unless:

1. A building permit has been issued and construction has commenced;

2. A certificate of occupancy has been issued;

3. The use is established; or

4. A time extension has been granted.

K. Time Extension: The Community Development Director may approve a single one year time extension for a reasonable accommodation for good cause. An application for a time extension shall be made in writing to the director no less than thirty (30) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration date.

L. Violation Of Terms: Any reasonable accommodation approved in accordance with the terms of this code may be revoked if any of the conditions or terms of such reasonable accommodation are violated, or if any law or ordinance is violated in connection therewith.

PAGE 586 of 1856
20 M. Discontinuance: A reasonable accommodation shall lapse if the exercise of rights granted by it is discontinued for one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days. If the persons initially occupying a residence vacate the residence, the reasonable accommodation shall remain in effect only if the planning director determines that: 1) the modification is physically integrated into the residential structure and cannot easily be removed or altered to comply with the zoning code, or 2) the accommodation is necessary to give another disabled individual an equal opportunity to reside in the dwelling. The director may request the applicant or his or her successor in interest to the property to provide documentation that subsequent occupants are persons with disabilities. Failure to provide such documentation within ten (10) days of the date of a request by the director shall constitute grounds for discontinuance by the director of a previously approved reasonable accommodation.

N. Amendments: A request for changes in conditions of approval of a reasonable accommodation, or a change to plans that would affect a condition of approval shall be treated as a new application. The director may waive the requirement for a new application if the changes are minor, do not involve substantial alterations or addition to the plan or the conditions of approval, and are consistent with the intent of the original approval.

ARTICLE 22

DENSITY BONUS LAW

23.22.01: PURPOSE OF THIS ARTICLE:

This Article is intended to implement the State Density Bonus Law in accordance with California Government Code Sections 65915 - 65918. The purpose of this Article is to provide density bonuses, incentives and concessions, requested waivers, and parking reductions for the production of housing for very low-, low-, and moderate-income households, senior households, and other housing types as provided by state law.

23.22.02: APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS:

A. An applicant for a “housing development” as defined in State Density Bonus Law shall be eligible for a density bonus and other regulatory benefits that are provided by State Density Bonus Law when the applicant seeks and agrees to provide housing as specified in Government Code Section 65915(b), (c), (f), (g), (h) and (v), or in Government Code Section 65195.5, or successor provisions. The density bonus calculations shall be made in accordance with State Density Bonus Law.

B. The granting of a density bonus, incentive, or concession, pursuant to this chapter, shall not be interpreted, in and of itself, to require a general plan amendment, development code amendment, zone change, other discretionary approval, or the waiver of a City ordinance or provisions of a City ordinance unrelated to development standards.

C. All requests for density bonuses, incentives, and concessions for a housing development shall be filed with and on a form provided by the Community Development Director, or their designee, concurrently with the filing of the planning application for the first discretionary or ministerial permit required for the housing development, whichever permit is earliest. The applicant shall be informed whether the application is complete consistent with Government Code Section 65943.

D. The application shall include the required fee and the following minimum information:

1. For a requested density bonus.
a. Summary table showing the maximum number of dwelling units permitted by the zoning and general plan excluding any density bonus units, proposed affordable units by income level, proposed bonus percentage, number of density bonus units proposed, total number of dwelling units proposed on the site, and resulting density in units per acre.
b. Subparagraph of Government Code Section 65915(b)(1) under which the housing development qualifies for a density bonus and reasonable documentation demonstrating that the housing development is eligible for a bonus under that subparagraph.
c. Where the housing development is seeking an additional bonus, the subparagraph of Government Code Section 65915(v)(1) under which the housing development qualifies for an additional density bonus and PAGE 692 of 1856

g. If dwelling units on the site are currently rented, income and household size of all residents of currently occupied units, if known. If any dwelling units on the site were rented in the five-year period but are not currently rented, the income and household size of residents occupying the dwelling units when the site contained the maximum number of dwelling units, if known. h. The phasing of the construction of the affordable housing units in relation to the nonrestricted units in the housing development.
i. If a density bonus is requested for a land donation, the location of the land to be dedicated, proof of site control, and reasonable documentation that each of the requirements included in Government Code Section 65915 (g) can be met.

2. For a requested incentive. Incentives are those defined by Government Code Section 65915 (k). The number of incentives that may be requested shall be based upon the number the applicant is entitled to pursuant to Government Code Section 65915 (d)(2).

B. To ensure that an application for a housing development conforms with the provisions of State Density Bonus Law, the staff report presented to the decision-making body shall state whether the application conforms to the following requirements of State Density Bonus Law, as applicable:

1. The housing development provides the housing required by State Density Bonus Law to be eligible for a density bonus and any incentives, parking reduction, or PAGE 694 of 1856
128
waivers requested, including housing required to replace units rented or formerly rented to very low- and low-income households as required by California Government Code Section 65915(c)(3).

2. If applicable, the housing development provides the housing required by State Density Bonus law to be eligible for an additional density bonus under Government Code Section 65915(v)(1).

3. If an incentive is requested, reasonable documentation has been presented showing that any requested incentive will result in identifiable and actual cost reductions to provide for affordable housing or costs or rents; except that, if a mixed-use development is requested, the application must instead meet all of the requirements of Government Code Section 65915(k)(2).

4. If a waiver is requested, the development standards for which a waiver is requested would have the effect of physically precluding the construction of the housing development at the densities or with the incentives permitted.

5. The housing development is eligible for any requested parking reductions under Government Code Section 65915(p) or other statute.

6. If the density bonus is based all or in part on donation of land, the requirements of Government Code Section 65915(g) have been met.

7. If the density bonus or incentive is based all or in part on the inclusion of a child care facility or condominium conversion, the requirements included in Government Code Section 65915(h) or 65915.5, as appropriate, have been met.

C. The decision-making body shall grant an incentive requested by the applicant unless it makes a written finding, based upon substantial evidence, of any of the following:

1. The proposed incentive does not result in identifiable and actual cost reductions to provide for affordable housing costs, as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 50052.5; or for affordable rents, as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 50053; or

2. The proposed incentive would be contrary to state or federal law; or

3. The proposed incentive would have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety or on any real property that is listed in the California Register of Historic Resources, and there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact without rendering the housing development unaffordable to low- and moderate-income households. For the purpose of this subsection, “specific, adverse impact” means a significant, quantifiable, direct and unavoidable impact, based on objective, identified, written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date that the application for the housing development was deemed complete as defined in Government Code Section 65589.5.

1. The proposed waiver would be contrary to state or federal law; or

2. The proposed waiver would have an adverse impact on any real property listed in the California Register of Historic Resources; or

3. The proposed waiver would have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety, and there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact without rendering the housing development unaffordable to low- and moderate-income households. For the purpose of this subsection, “specific, adverse impact” means a significant, quantifiable, direct and unavoidable impact, based on objective, identified, written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date that the application for the housing development was deemed complete as defined in Government Code Section 65589.5.

E. If a child care center complies with the requirements of Government Code Section 65915(h), the decision-making body may deny a density bonus or incentive that is based on the provision of child care facilities only if it makes a written finding, based on substantial evidence, that the City already has adequate child care facilities.

F. A request for minor modification of an approved density bonus housing plan may be granted by the Community Development Director, or their designee, if the modification substantially complies with the original density bonus housing plan and conditions of approval. Other modifications to the density bonus housing plan shall be processed in the same manner as the original plan.

23.22.04: DENSITY BONUS HOUSING AGREEMENT:

A. If a density bonus, incentive, parking reduction, or waiver is approved pursuant to this chapter, the applicant shall enter into a binding affordable housing agreement or restrictive covenant, as described below, with the City, which sets forth the conditions and guidelines to be met in the implementation of State Density Bonus Law and that ensures compliance with all of the provisions of this chapter. The agreement will also establish specific compliance standards and remedies available to the City upon failure by the applicant to comply with State Density Bonus Law, this chapter, or the affordable housing agreement.

B. For rental projects, the applicant shall enter into an affordable housing agreement with the City, running with the land, in a form approved by the City Attorney, to be executed by the City Attorney, or their designee. The agreement shall require the continued affordability of all rental units that qualified the applicant for the receipt of the density bonus, incentive, waiver, or parking reduction for a minimum of fifty-five (55) years or a longer period of time if required by the construction or mortgage financing assistance program, mortgage insurance program, or rental subsidy program; shall identify the type, PAGE 696 of 1856
130
size and location of each affordable unit; shall specify the eligible occupants; shall specify phasing of the affordable units in relation to the market-rate units; and shall contain other relevant provisions approved by the City Attorney. Rents for the lower income density bonus units shall be set at an affordable rent as defined in State Density Bonus Law.

C. For for-sale projects, the applicant shall enter into an affordable housing agreement with the City, running with the land, in a form approved by the City Attorney, to be executed by the City Manager, or their designee. The affordable housing agreement shall require that, the initial purchasers of those for-sale units that qualified the applicant for the receipt of the density bonus, incentive, waiver, or parking reduction are persons and families of lower or moderate income, as applicable, or if any for-sale unit is not purchased by an income-qualified household within one-hundred eighty (180) days after the issuance of the certificate of occupancy, then the unit(s) must be sold pursuant to a contract that satisfies the requirements of Revenue and Taxation Code Section 402.1(a)(10) to a qualified nonprofit housing corporation as defined in State Density Bonus Law and that the units are offered at an affordable housing cost, as that cost is defined in Health and Safety Code Section 50052.5; and shall contain other relevant provisions approved by the City Attorney.

The City shall enforce an equity sharing agreement consistent with State Density Bonus Law unless it is in conflict with the requirements of another public funding source or law.

D. Where a density bonus, waiver or parking reduction is provided for a market-rate senior housing development, the applicant shall enter into a restrictive covenant with the City, running with the land, in a form approved by the City Attorney, to be executed by the City Manager, or their designee, to require the housing development to be operated as "housing for older persons" consistent with state and federal fair housing laws.

E. The executed affordable housing agreement shall be recorded against the housing development prior to final or parcel map approval, or, where a map is not being processed, prior to issuance of building permits for the housing development, whichever is earliest. The affordable housing agreement shall be binding on all future owners and successors in interest.

23.22.05: DENSITY BONUS CALCULATIONS:

A. In determining the total number of units to be granted, each component of any density calculation, including base density and bonus density, resulting in fractional units shall be separately rounded up to the next whole number.

B. When calculating the number of affordable units needed to qualify for a given density bonus, any fractions of affordable dwelling units shall be rounded up to the next whole number.

C. Except where a housing development is eligible for an additional bonus pursuant to Government Code Section 65915(v), each housing development is entitled to only one density bonus. If a housing development qualifies for a density bonus under more than one category, the applicant shall identify the category under which the density bonus is requested to be granted.

PAGE 697 of 1856
131
D. In determining the number of affordable units required to qualify a housing development for a density bonus pursuant to State Density Bonus Law, units added by a density bonus are not included in the calculations.

E. The applicant may elect to accept a lesser percentage of density bonus than the housing development is entitled to, or no density bonus, but no reduction will be permitted in the percentages of affordable units required by State Density Bonus law. Regardless of the number of affordable units, no housing development shall be entitled to a density bonus greater than what is authorized under State Density Bonus Law.

F. Nothing in this Article requires the provision of direct financial incentives from the City for the housing development, including, but not limited to, the provision of financial subsidies, publicly owned land, fee waivers, or waiver of dedication requirements. The City, at its sole discretion, may choose to provide such direct financial incentives.

23.22.06: DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS:

A. Affordable units shall be comparable in exterior appearance and overall quality of construction to market rate units in the same housing development. Interior finishes and amenities may differ from those provided in the market rate units, but neither the workmanship nor the products may be of substandard or inferior quality as determined by the City.

B. To comply with fair housing laws, the affordable units shall contain the same proportional mix of bedroom sizes as the market-rate units. In mixed-income buildings, the occupants of the affordable units shall have the same access to the common entrances and to the common areas, parking, and amenities of the project as the occupants of the market-rate housing units, and the affordable units shall be located throughout the building and not isolated on one floor or to an area on a specific floor.

23.22.07: INTERPRETATION:

If any portion of this Article conflicts with State Density Bonus Law or other applicable state law, state law shall supersede this Article. Any ambiguities in this Article shall be interpreted to be consistent with State Density Bonus Law.

8. Background
Under the requirements of state law, every city and county in California must prepare a housing element as part of its general plan. The adopted housing element must document, in detail, existing conditions and projected needs in accordance with state housing law provisions. The City’s State mandated 2021-2029 Housing Element identifies housing solutions that address local housing problems and to meet or exceed the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). In addition, the discretionary approval action requires independent and project-specific environmental review.

The housing element is a policy document that does not result in physical changes to the environment but includes programs that encourage the provision of affordable housing. While policies and programs could require changes to the zoning ordinance or result in actions of the County that could result in physical change, none of the policies or programs in the proposed project would result in PAGE 706 of 1856
3 physical changes to the environment. All development in the City of San Marino is required to comply with the General Plan, zoning ordinance, and all applicable policies and governing documents.

On February 9, 2022, the San Marino City Council held a public hearing and adopted the 2021-2029 Housing Element, which also allowed for adoption, by the City Council, the 2021-2029 Housing Element Initial Study/Negative Declaration IS/ND (State Clearinghouse No. (SCH) 2022010208) at the same public hearing.

This document is an Addendum to the adopted IS/ND prepared for the update of the Housing Element of the General Plan for the 2021-2029 planning period (6th Cycle), which was adopted by the City of San Marino on February 9, 2022 (the “original Project”) per City Council Resolution No. R-22-06.

The IS/ND document, inclusive of exhibits, is hereby incorporated by reference.

The IS/ND for the original Project studied the potential environmental effects on aesthetics, agriculture and forest resources, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, energy, geology and soils, greenhouse gas emissions, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, mineral resources, noise, population and housing, recreation, public services, transportation, tribal cultural resources, utilities and service systems, wildfire, and mandatory findings of significance. The IS/ND found that the original Project would not result in significant impacts to agriculture, air quality, biological resources and forest resources, cultural resources, energy. hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, mineral resources, recreation, utilities and service systems, wildfire, and less than significant impacts, with no mitigations, related to aesthetics, geology and soils, greenhouse gas emissions, noise, population and housing, public services, transportation, and tribal and cultural resources.

Since the adoption of the IS/ND, the City has made revisions to the original Project, in order to address the comments provided by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). This addendum to the adopted IS/ND addresses the technical changes or additions made to the City’s State mandated adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element (the “Amendments”), which will be considered by the City Council.

9. Description of Project
The State of California requires every jurisdiction to include a Housing Element in its General Plan.

The Housing Element must contain an analysis of the housing needs of all economic segments of the community, including persons with special needs, as well as goals, policies, programs and objectives to address those needs. It is a guide for providing housing opportunities and services for all household types and income groups in the City. State law requires that the City update its Housing Element every eight years, with this update to cover the 2021-2029 planning period, also known as the 6th Cycle of Housing Elements.

As required by State law, the Housing Element includes a Housing Plan, which establishes goals, policies, programs and quantified objectives for addressing the City’s housing needs during the 8year Housing Element planning period. The Housing Plan is based upon the City’s analysis of a variety of issues that affect current and future residents of San Marino, and contains policies and programs to address and guide the future development of housing in the City.

Revisions to the adopted City of San Marino 2021-2029 6th Cycle Housing Element The revisions proposed to the 2021-2029 Housing Element since it was adopted on February 9, 2022 consist of amending the policies and programs in the Housing Element by providing a greater level of detail regarding the policy commitments, expanding on current efforts the City is currently undertaken or is planning to undertake in relation to such policies and programs, adding more specific timelines PAGE 707 of 1856
City of San Marino
2021-2029 Housing Element Zone Code Amendment
4 for when the City shall implement and accomplish certain actions in the policies and expanding on the program will implement to how the City information and policies/programs related to the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH). These changes include, but are not limited to the following:
• Added 2019 Regional Locational Demographic and Employment Profile. (Section 1.9.1) • Added additional data regarding disabled special needs populations and the City’s progress towards meeting the housing needs of special needs populations. (Sections 1.9.3 & 1.14) • Added additional data regarding number of homes in need of rehabilitation or replacement (Section 1.10)
• Revised Fair Housing Analysis to more fully describe past actions that created areas of concentrated wealth and poverty in San Marino and surrounding communities. (Section 1.12) • Added additional analysis of the effectiveness of 5th Cycle Housing Element programs. (Section

1.15)
• Revised policies and programs related to the production of ADUs, including to revise the City’s ADU ordinance to comply with State law and provide objective design standards for the permitting of ADUs. (Section 2.1)
• Add a program to require the creation of a Multi-family Residential (RM1) zone to accommodate the development of multi-family housing. (Section 2.1) • Add a program to require the City issue a Request for Proposals for the development of the Stoneman site by an affordable housing developer to build no fewer than 49 units affordable to very-low income households. (Section 2.1)
• Add a program to require the creation of two mixed-use zones (MU1 & MU2) to accommodate the development of mixed-use and multi-family housing. (Section 2.1) • Add a program to require the creation of the Religious Institution Housing (RIH) zone. (Section 2.1)
• Revise the identified sites for housing development to remove 2090, 2375 & 2405 Huntington Drive and add 415, 2000, 2010, 2020, & 3130 Huntington Drive and 1750 Viginia Road to the list of identified sites. (Section 3.2)
• Identified additional parcels located along Huntington Drive, beyond those identified as housing sites, to be rezoned to the new MU1 and MU2 zones. (Section 3.2.3) • Identified additional parcels, beyond those identified as housing sites, to be rezoned to the new RIH zone, including St. Edmund’s Episcopal Church, San Marino Congregational United Church of Christ, First Church of Christ, Scientist, and San Marino (Section 3.2.4) • Remove “Missing Middle” housing as an allowed use in the R-1 zone. (Formerly Section 3.5.4) • Revise residential development standards for the H&C zone to ensure they’re objective and allow for the maximum density allowed in this zone. (Section 3.2.1) • Create objective development standards for the RM1 zone. (Section 3.2.2) • Create objective development standards for the mixed-use zones. (Section 3.2.3) • Expand analysis of all identified non-vacant housing sites to include suitability of the site and evidence of the discontinuation of existing uses on the site during the planning period. (Section

3.2)
PAGE 708 of 1856
5 • Identify location of existing ADU building permits issued by the City. (Section 3.3) • Increase the number of projected ADUs to be built during the 6th Housing Element Cycle from 221 to 287 (Section 3.3.1)
• Expand analysis of the housing resources available to lower income households and those with special needs. (Section 4.3)
• Expand analysis of constraints on housing development in San Marino, especially with regards to emergency shelters, low barrier navigation centers, transitional housing, residential care facilities, and people in need of reasonable accommodations. (Section 4.4.2) • Expanded analysis of contributing factors to fair housing issues. (Section 4.5.2) • Identifies meaningful actions to affirmatively further fair housing. (Section 4.5.10) The policies and programs have been revised based on the comments provided by HCD, which are intended to help address potential constraints to and further incentivize the development of housing in the City. The amended and new programs added to the State mandated 2021-2029 Housing Element are required by HCD in an effort to certify the City’s Housing Element as compliant with State and Housing laws. As a result of the amended and added programs, the total number of sites required to be rezoned has decreased from 1,796 properties to 118 properties in order to accommodate for the RHNA numbers and quantified objectives through programs included in the Housing Element. Therefore, the rezone changes will not result in changes to the significance findings in all the environmental issue areas studied in the IS/ND.

10. CEQA Analysis
Review of Environmental Impacts and Determination
An analysis of the Amendments, changes in circumstances, and any new information since the certification of the previous IS/ND has been completed to determine if any new environmental impacts could occur. The environmental analysis and conclusions provided in the IS/ND remain current and applicable to the Amendments. All potential impacts in the CEQA Environmental Checklist were considered during the preparation of this Addendum, and it has been determined that no new or substantial increase in impacts would result from the revisions made to the City’s state mandated adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element. Nothing in the Amendments will result in greater impacts to the aesthetics, agriculture and forestry resources, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, greenhouse gas emissions, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, mineral resources, noise, population and housing, public services, recreation, transportation and traffic, utilities and service systems or mandatory findings of significance topic areas studied in the project’s IS/ND.

Further, the modifications proposed for the Housing Element are minor and none of the conditions outlined in CEQA Section 15162 have occurred as explained below, specifically:

1. There are no substantial changes proposed in the project that will require major revisions of the previous negative declaration due to the involvement of new, significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. The Amendments amending the policies and programs in the Housing Element by providing a greater level of detail regarding the policy commitments, expanding on current efforts the City is currently undertaken or is planning to undertake in relation to such policies and programs, adding more specific timelines for when the City shall implement and accomplish certain actions in the policies and expanding on the program will implement to how the City PAGE 709 of 1856
City of San Marino
2021-2029 Housing Element Zone Code Amendment
6 information and policies/programs related to the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH). The previous version of the sites inventory included all of the parcels in the mixed use overlay zone, which was adopted in 2020, and a small number of multi-family residentially zoned parcels. As a result of the amended and added programs, the total number of sites required to be rezoned has decreased from 1,796 properties to 118 properties in order to accommodate for the RHNA numbers and quantified objectives through programs included in the Housing Element. Therefore, the rezone changes will not result in changes to the significance findings in all the environmental issue areas studied in the IS/ND. Although goals and policies in the plan may result in future actions that could have environmental effects, there is not any information available to allow for meaningful environmental analysis at this time. Environmental review of any implementing actions would occur at that time when project details are known. The adoption of the Amendments to the City’s State mandated adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element will not result in any direct changes to the physical environment.

2. No substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.

Through the environmental review process, it has been determined that no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken, and thus no major revisions of the previous negative declaration are necessary.

The Amendments amending the policies and programs in the Housing Element by providing a greater level of detail regarding the policy commitments, expanding on current efforts the City is currently undertaken or is planning to undertake in relation to such policies and programs, adding more specific timelines for when the City shall implement and accomplish certain actions in the policies and expanding on the program will implement to how the City information and policies/programs related to the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH). As a result of the amended and added programs, the total number of sites required to be rezoned has decreased from 1,796 properties to 118 properties in order to accommodate for the RHNA numbers and quantified objectives through programs included in the Housing Element. Thus, no significant changes have occurred since adoption of the IS/ND for the City’s State mandated adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element.

3. New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the negative declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
a. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration;
Analysis of the Amendments indicates that there is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known at the time the IS/ND was adopted on February 9, 2022, that indicates the project will have significant effects on the environment, or effects that will be substantially more severe than shown in the IS/ND. b. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR;
Through the environmental review process, there were no significant effects that were previously identified and no EIR was previously prepared. c. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the PAGE 710 of 1856
7 project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
There were no mitigation measures included in the previously adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element IS/ND, and the proposed project does not result in significant impacts that would result in new mitigation measures. The City is required by State law to follow the policies of the General Plan, which includes the policies in the proposed 2021-2029 Housing Element project.
d. Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.

There are no mitigation measures included in the previously adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element IS/ND, and the proposed project does not result in significant impacts that would result in new mitigation measures. The City is required by State law to follow the policies of the General Plan, which includes the policies in the proposed 2021-2029 Housing Element project.

Determination
Given the analysis presented in this Addendum, it is therefore found that the Amendments to the City’s State mandated adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element would not result in a measurable increase in environmental impacts over what was previously analyzed in the adopted IS/ND for the adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element. There are no changes with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken that will require revisions to the previous IS/ND. Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, an Addendum to the IS/ND is appropriate and has been prepared to document the minor technical changes and addition of information that have been included in the Amendments to the Housing Element of the City of San Marino.

8. Description of Project
The City of San Marino is proposing to adopt an update of its Housing Element for the 2021 to 2029 period. State law requires each city to update its Housing Element every eight (8) years and submit it for certification to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). This is the 6
th Housing Element update cycle since the California Legislature identified housing as a priority statewide and began regular updating to General Plan Housing Elements, including the City of San Marino. The current update process started in November 2020 when the city engaged the 4LEAF, Inc consulting team to lead the draft update. The Draft Housing Element was transmitted to HCD on November 1, 2021. Subsequently, McNulty Consulting was engaged by the city in December 2021 to lead the adoption phase
2 PAGE 720 of 1856
Initial Study
A major component of the Housing Element update is the City's shortage of adequate sites to meet the regional housing need. The regional housing need allocation (RHNA) is an estimate of the city's housing needs at all price levels, based on the existing population plus its projected growth, over the next eight years. HCD determines the housing needs for each region in the state and provided to the representative area associations of governments who distributes the RHNA to the cities and counties.

The total units estimated for the entire Southern California region were distributed by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG).

The RHNA for the City of San Marino's 6
th cycle (2021 to 2029 period) Housing Element is 397 units (see Table 1, below). The City is not required to construct additional housing units or issue building permits to meet the RHNA allocation, but it must make adequate sites available with appropriate residential zoning and development potential to accommodate the RHNA over the 8-year planning period. To do this, the City is required to evaluate land use patterns, development regulations and challenges, and identify potentially developable land to demonstrate how the City plans to accommodate the City's RHNA allocation. Because San Marino currently lacks sufficient sites with appropriate zoning to accommodate its assigned RHNA, this Housing Element Update includes programs to consider sites for rezoning. Parcel-specific CEQA analysis will be conducted for the housing element rezoning project. Attempting to analyze individual rezoning on a parcel-by-parcel basis at this time would be speculative and is not within the scope of the project evaluated in this Initial Study.

This Initial Study/Negative Declaration (IS-ND) provides compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines required for the city to analyze and adopt the 2021 Housing Element Update, and focuses on whether the Project, as defined, may cause significant effects on the environment. Consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 21083.3, this IS-ND is intended to assess any effects on the environment that are specific to the 2021 Housing Element Update at a plan level. The location and extent of any specific development project(s) that might result from the adoption of the 2021 Housing Element Update are not yet known, and any attempt to analyze them within this document would be speculative.

San Marino is a small city within the large and diverse Los Angeles County. While San Marino is served by the nearby freeway network (710, 210 and 134) and by the Metro bus lines 78/79/379, it does not have high-speed rail services and does not contain any Priority Growth Areas envisioned in Connect SoCal 2020-2045. San Marino's 2020 population of 12,870 represents a decrease from the 2010 population of 13,187. This lack of growth is consistent with that of the County of Los Angeles and the State of California, both of which have recently begun decreasing in population (2019 Census).

Incorporated in 1913, San Marino was almost completely built out by the 1970s. San Marino is characterized by its beautiful homes and has multiple historic neighborhoods and structures. The intention of the City's founding fathers was to develop and maintain a residential area that would be high-quality and crime-free that provides great schools, parks, and an exclusive lifestyle. The City's physical form today reflects those early values and development patterns, as most of the land is designated for residential use, with areas of recreational and commercial uses. The City's lack of vacant parcels and subdivision potential has impeded development since the 1970s: an average of less than 6 new home permits have been issued annually since 1980, not counting Accessory Dwelling Units.

c. Would the project, in non-urbanized areas, substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of public views of the site and its surroundings? {Public views are those that are experienced from a publicly accessible vantage point). If the project is in an urbanized area, would the project conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality?
The project site is an urbanized area subject to the Design Review requirements in Article 15 of the San Marino City Code applies to new or replacement structures and changes to structures visible from public views. Objective design review requirements apply to new housing construction that would be expected to affect public views. The project does not propose specific development projects that would conflict with applicable design regulations governing scenic quality. Specific development projects would be speculative at this time but in the future would be subject to the latest Article 15 regulations or other regulations protecting scenic quality in place at the time future residential development is proposed. Additionally, the city has adopted Objective Design Standards that would apply to visual quality of design features. Therefore, project approval would have a less than significant impact by conflicting with regulations governing public views or scenic quality.

LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
d. Would the project create a new source of substantial light or glare that would adversely affect daytime or nighttime views in the area?
Although the Housing Element Update itself does not propose any specific development with lighting or glare components, its policies would encourage new housing construction that would be expected to create new sources of lighting and windows. City Code Sec. 23.15.03.B indicates that new or replacement residential structures are subject to design review. The Community Development Department, Planning Commission and Design Review Committee ensure that new development follows the latest Building Code and design standards to prevent light pollution and glare from windows or other components from a building. Additionally, as discussed in the previous section, the city is adopting Objective Design Standards that address lighting impacts. The project is not expected to create a new source of substantial light or glare that would adversely affect daytime or nighttime view in the area.

The Housing Element does not propose land use changes that would allow high pollutant uses such as industrial; however, it does encourage more residential density which may increase automobile traffic. In order to help prevent an impact to traffic, the Housing Element has an implementation policy encouraging development near existing transit facilities. Goal 1 is to provide a range of housing opportunities for all income levels, and one of its policies is to allow interior conversion of singlefamily residences into duplexes or triplexes in neighborhoods near jobs and transit. The approval of the Housing Element also does not automatically allow new construction; however, it encourages building residential units. Policies and land uses allowing an increased range of residential densities adjacent to employment may increase opportunities to reduce single vehicle commuting and greater use of transit, which in turn could result in fewer vehicle emissions. Construction for these ends would be subject to use of the latest construction emissions reduction measures by the California Air Quality Board and not represent an impact to exceed federal, state, or regional air quality standards.

As such, implementation of the 2021 Housing Element will not have an impact on air quality, and no mitigation measures are necessary.

Any future project related tree removals be subject to review consistent with the City of San Marino Heritage Tree Protection Ordinance in Article 19 of the City of San Marino Municipal Code. There is no potential for the project to have an impact on biological resources, per this section, as no open spaces are encouraged to be developed and all future development will be subject to all applicable regulations related to biological resources.

The project proposal is to update the Housing Element, which stipulates future discretionary actions such as changing the zoning designations of some sites in order to increase the potential for housing.

At the time future development projects are proposed, the City will review the proposal for potential impacts to historical resources as defined by the Guidelines to the Implementation of CEQA § 15064.5, which includes: A resource listed in, or determined to be eligible by the State Historical Resources Commission, for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources (Pub. Res. Code§ 5024.1, Title 14 CCR, Section 4850 et seq.).

When zoning changes, historic status of subject properties would be assessed. However, much of the land in the city is already developed. Any future disturbance of native soils or disturbance of human remains, or artifacts would require assessment by a qualified archaeologist or a tribal cultural resources expert. All construction undergoes preliminary review for historic preservation review per Article 18 of the City Code and in some cases further design review. Since the specific location of future projects is speculative at this time the Housing Element Update project does not have a potential for impact on cultural resources.

The update of the Housing Element would not consume any energy by itself, but it encourages development for the construction of new residences and/or the remodel of existing structures to allow for more residences in the city. Short-term construction and long-term occupancy activities, as a result of future development, would result in energy consumption. Construction activities would consume energy to power equipment, transport equipment and vehicles, and construction materials to be manufactured. Occupancy of new residences would consume energy through the demand for electricity and gas for lighting, air conditioning, heating; and the residents' use of personal vehicles.

However, future development would require permitting such as building and design review entitlements. Title 24, Part 6, of the California Code of Regulations; energy Conservation Standards for new residential buildings are updated every three years. Title 24 ensures building designs conserve energy by requiring the use of new energy efficiency technologies and methods in new developments.
