Joint City Council & Planning Commission Study Session July 19, 2022 Report Submitted By: Cuong Nguyen/Wayne M. Morrell Date of Report: July 15, 2022 Planning and Development Dept.
STUDY SESSION
Objective Development Standards (ODS) Project: A presentation by the consulting firm AECOM about creating multi-unit and mixed-use objective development standards and streamlined permitting processes to increase capacity potential and accelerate housing production within the City of Santa Fe Springs
BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Fe Springs is part of an Objective Development Standards (ODS) project, funded by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) through the Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) grant program. Other cities selected for the ODS project are: Montebello, Santa Monica, and South Pasadena.
Development standards set the rules for development, including the height of buildings, the number of units allowed per parcel, the distance between buildings and adjacent properties, the amount of open space needed on a site, parking requirements, building design standards, and more.
In March 2020, Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) adopted its 6th cycle Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation plan, which covers the planning period from October 2021 through October 2029. For the 6th cycle, SCAG received a need of 1,341,827 housing units, which was distributed to all 197 SCAG jurisdictions. Under said Plan, Santa Fe Springs allocation is 952 units distributed within various income categories (252 units of very-low income, 159 unit of low income, 152 units of moderate income and 388 units of above-moderate income.) The need and the mandate to produce more housing has prompted cities, including Santa Fe Springs, to review residential development standards, to make them simpler to understand and easier to implement, resulting in faster permitting timelines and potentially accelerating housing production. Cities are updating and adding to existing regulations to create development standards that can be “objectively” reviewed by staff.
In Santa Fe Springs, the Objective Development Standards (ODS) project will document, assess, and modernize multi-unit and mixed use objective development standards and also help streamline entitlements/permitting processes. The project deliverables includes: An existing local policies and regulations review report; a current

project review report; permit streamlining assistance; an online cost estimator tool, and the creation of objective standards for four multi-unit/mixed-use zones.
The ODS project officially began in early March of this year and is expected to be completed sometime in the Spring of 2023. The purpose of this joint study session is to provide the City Council and the Planning Commission with a general project overview and understanding of how objective standards can be used to help accelerate housing production in Santa Fe Springs. At the conclusion of the presentation by AECOM, both the City Council and the Planning Commission will have an opportunity to discuss the contents or otherwise provide initial feedback as desired.
