NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UPLAND DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are hereby incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 2. Ordinance: Amending the Municipal Code.
1. Approve Zone Change No. ZC-21-0002 to amend the Zoning Designation of the project site, located at 1400 E. Arrow Highway (APN: 1046-481-14), from Light Industrial (LI) To Specific Plan (SP) as shown in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
2. Adopt Specific Plan No. SP-21-0002 to establish the Rose Glen Specific Plan on the project site as shown in Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Section 3. Findings.
A. Upland Municipal Code Section 17.48.060 provides that the City Council, before it may approve a Zoning Map Amendment, shall make a determination to allow the activity based upon the following findings:
1. Finding: The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable community or specific plan as provided by Government Code Section 65860.
Evidence: This Zoning Amendment is to amend the Zoning Designation of the project site from Light Industrial (LI) to Specific Plan (SP).
Government Code Section 65860 requires a city's zoning ordinance to be consistent with the general plan, therefore the project is consistent with Government Code Section 65860.
2. Finding: The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, or welfare of the City.
Evidence: The proposed Zoning Amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, or welfare because the amendment will result in residentially zoned land via the Specific Plan, consistent with the surrounding residential land uses. The project will result in
Ordinance No. 1969
additional property tax generation. All impacts potentially caused by the project have been determined to be less then significant, with potentially significant impacts being required to be mitigated to ensure impacts are less then significant. The project has been reviewed and appropriately conditioned by Building and Safety, Public Works and Police and Fire Services to further ensure public interest, health, safety, or welfare of the City.
3. Finding: The affected site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, and other characteristics to ensure that the proposed uses and development will not endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the property, surrounding properties, and the community at large.
Evidence: Plans were submitted with the application that show the zoning amendment that show the site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, and size. The plans show adequate space for the implementation of the specific plan, including the development of the 64 residential units, private and common open space as well as necessary infrastructure improvements to serve the development. The plans show the proposed architectural and landscape design makes use of appropriate materials, texture, and color, and will remain aesthetically appealing and appropriately maintained. The project has been appropriately conditioned by Police and Fire Services, and mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project to ensure the new development endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the property, surrounding properties, and the community at large.
Section 4. Compliance with California Environmental Quality Act. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines and the City’s local Guidelines, an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) was prepared pursuant to Sections 15063(c) and 15070 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines and the City of Upland CEQA Guidelines to address the potential environmental effects of the proposed project. Initial Study (IS) was prepared to determine the environmental effects created by the project. Based on the findings contained in the Initial Study, it was determined that Mitigation Measures related to Cultural Resources, Land Use Planning, Noise and Vibration and Tribal Cultural Resources. Based on that determination, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was prepared. A Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program has also been prepared to ensure implementation of, and compliance with, the mitigation measures for the Project.
Section 5. Severability.

The City Council hereby declares that it would have
Ordinance No. 1969

Section 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are hereby incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 2. Findings. In approving the proposed Municipal Code amendment, the City Council hereby makes the following findings that the Ordinance is consistent with the General Plan as follows:
1. Finding: The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable community or specific plan as provided by Government Code Section 65860.
Evidence: The proposed Smoke Shop and Massage Therapy
Ordinance does not conflict with any community or specific plan and is consistent with the following General Plan policies and goals:
A. Land Use Policy LU-6.2: Control the location, concentration and operations of land uses that have potential impacts on surrounding development through effective design principles, adequate buffering, and enforcement of regulatory documents.
Fact: The ordinance will be consistent with this policy, as it will address a concern regarding the compatibility of smoke shop and massage establishment uses with surrounding land use uses and allow for the ability to add conditions of approval to ensure such uses will not have a negative impact through their design and operational characteristics.
Ordinance No. 1970
B. Healthy Community Policy HC-5.3: Consider the concentration of alcohol and/or tobacco retail outlets in land use decisions; consider regulating the permitting of additional alcohol and/or tobacco retail outlets where an undue concentration exists
Fact: The proposed ordinance will be consistent with this policy as it will allow the Planning Commission the ability to consider the concentration of tobacco retail outlets in land use decisions and will add additional criteria for the Commission to use as basis of evaluating undue concentration while considering a conditional use permit.
C. Healthy Community Goal HC-5: A community free of alcohol dependency, tobacco use, and drug abuse by creating an
environment that supports healthy choices, provides access to prevention and treatment services, and enforces laws that protect residents and the community.
Fact: The proposed ordinance will be consistent with this goal in the City’s General Plan, by setting responsible and appropriate regulations for smoke shops to ensure both a successful business environment but also allow for additional consideration in appropriate land uses through regulation of smoke shops through a conditional use permit process.
2. Finding: The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, or welfare of the City.
Evidence: The proposed Zoning Amendment is in the interest of public interest, health, safety, and welfare of the City for several reasons, and will not be detrimental. The City has an interest, as emphasized in the General Plan, in ensuring compatibility between uses, ensuring that land uses are established in such a manner and location where they will not have potential impacts on surrounding development, in discouraging the illegal purchase of tobacco products by minors, and in promoting compliance with all federal, state and local laws.
3. Finding: The proposed amendment is internally consistent with other applicable provisions of the Zoning Ordinance.
Evidence: The proposed amendment does not conflict with any other sections of the Zoning Ordinance.

By executing this Agreement, Contractor verifies that it fully complies with all requirements and restrictions of state and federal law respecting the employment of undocumented aliens, including, but not limited to, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, as may be amended from time to time. Such requirements and restrictions include, but are not limited to, examination and retention of documentation confirming the identity and immigration status of each employee of the Contractor.
Contractor also verifies that it has not committed a violation of any such law within the five (5) years immediately preceding the date of execution of this Agreement, and shall not violate any such law at any time during the term of the Agreement. Contractor shall avoid any violation of any such law during the term of this Agreement by participating in an electronic verification of work authorization program operated by the United States Department of Homeland Security, by participating in an equivalent federal work authorization program operated by the United States Department of Homeland Security to verify information of newly hired employees, or by some other legally acceptable method. Contractor shall maintain records of each such verification, and shall make them available to the City or its representatives for inspection and copy at any time during normal business hours.

Attn: John Robles
Subject: City of Upland: Well 7A Rehab Project – Pump Inspection and Additional Repairs
General Pump Company is pleased to provide our pump inspection and repair recommendations for the O/L pump equipment recently pulled from the above referenced site. At the time of bidding, the condition of the pump equipment was unknown. For bidding purposes, GPC assumed that the bowl assembly, column pipe, tube & shaft, tension assembly, and discharge would only require a standard recondition/rebuild. We also stated that the cost for repairs was subject to change based on the actual condition of the equipment.
Our inspection has determined that the repair requirements far exceed a standard recondition/rebuild. For this reason, additional funding is required to perform the required repairs and replacement of materials. Below is a summary of our findings, along with our recommendations for repairs and the associated costs.
Engineering Inspection
• Bowl assembly was pumping sand/media that caused unrepairable damage. Bowl shaft wore through bushings and into bowl castings, impellers are worn beyond repair, and bottom of bowl castings are grooved from sand production. Complete bowl assembly requires replacement. Upgraded materials of construction are recommended to give pump more longevity in sand production well environment. • Records indicate that the pump was equipped with 50’ of 12” PVC engineered suction pipe and an 8” SS cone strainer. Bowl assembly was pulled with the 8” NPT to 12” flush-thread, but the remainder of the suction assembly separated and fell to the bottom of the well. Suction Adapter off bowls is heavily pitted and corroded; need to replace with new. All other components are assumed to be in bad condition and will required a full re-engineered suction assembly. • Pump assembly is currently equipped with ¾” taper pipe and a NPT X Butt C/O coupling to the discharge head. Proper application is butt thread pipe. All pipe sections are covered with thick bacteria incrustation and pipe displays heavy corrosion and pitting. Need to replace all column pipe with new and standardize the application to straight butt thread pipe.

Engineering Inspection – (Con’t.)
• All tubes are covered with bacteria incrustation and display corrosion and pitting.
Bearings are worn and oversized. Line shafts are worn at bearing journals. Shaft couplings have deep hammer dents and wrench marks. Replacement is required for all tube and shaft assemblies.
• The structural condition of the discharge head and short column appear to be in fair condition. The interior of the short column does display some mild corrosion and pitting. It is highly recommended to sandblast the entire unit and at a minimum line the water passages with protective coating to avoid further corrosion. If the short column corrodes beyond use, extensive fabrication and machining will be required which will result in a higher cost than lining the water passages. • Head shaft is worn at bearing journal and top tube displays corrosion and pitting.
Both components need to be replaced with new.
• Tension assembly is slightly worn at bearing, but structural condition appears to be good. Recondition is required.
• Recommend furnishing and installing new 1-1/4” SCH-80 sounding tube and the addition of a ¼” SS Airline assembly.
Note: Teardown pictures have been included on a separate attachment for review.

1. Policy FA 8.2 Economic Development. Focus economic development efforts on the retention and attraction of viable and desirable commercial uses in Downtown.

2. Policy ES-3.8 Ground-floor Retail. Attract retail uses to the ground floor level in Downtown in coordination with policies and standards in the Historic Downtown Upland Specific.
Fact: The amendment will attract and retain viable retailers for ground floor level storefronts and will set up standards to ensure retailers have options for outdoor display of merchandise.

C. Permitted and Conditionally Permitted Uses
Permitted and conditionally permitted uses allowed in each district are provided in Table 5-1. In some cases there are specific requirements for ground-floor and upper- floor uses, which are also indicated in the table. “P” designates permitted land uses, “m” designates a use requiring a minor conditional use permit, and “M” designates a use that requires a major conditional use permit. All uses are defined in Section H, Definitions.
Land uses that are not listed or not labeled “P”, “m” or “M” are not permitted. The development application and review process for permitted and conditionally permitted land uses is provided in Chapter 9, Implementation, of this Specific Plan.
The following uses are expressly prohibited in all districts in Downtown Upland:
i. Ambulance service, excepting offices;
ii. Automotive sales, including brokerages;
iii. Automotive repair (minor and major);
iv. Lodges, fraternity or sorority houses or similar places of regular, long-term, or frequent high-occupancy lodging;
v. Drive-thru establishments;
vi. Outdoor Display of Merchandise;
vi. Outdoor rental or storage yards;
vii. Pawnshops;
viii. Indoor storage as a primary use (within the Old Town District); ix. Internet-based businesses that are not open to the public (within the Old Town District, ground floor, on 2nd Avenue from D street to A Street and 9th Street from 1st Avenue to 3rd Avenue); and x. Any other uses that, after evaluation by the Planning Commission, may have characteristics that are adverse to the intent and purpose of the Specific Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Upland hereby finds, determines and resolves as follows:
Section 1. Findings. Pursuant to Upland Municipal Code Section 17.49.060 the City Council hereby makes the following findings and determinations in connection with the approval of General Plan Amendment No. 22-0001:
A. Finding: The proposed General Plan Amendment is in the public interest.
Evidence: The 2021-2029 Housing Element amendment is in the public interest because the Housing Element includes policies and programs to facilitate the provision of housing opportunities for all economic segments of the community, including persons with special needs.
Resolution No.
B. Finding: The proposed General Plan Amendment is consistent and compatible with the rest of the General Plan.
Evidence: The 2021-2029 Housing Element amendment identifies land use policies to accommodate the City’s assigned share of regional housing needs as required by State law and includes programs to ensure consistency between the Land Use Element and the Housing Element.
C. Finding: The potential effects of the proposed General Plan Amendment have been evaluated and have been determined not to be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare.
Evidence: The 2021-2029 Housing Element amendment furthers the public health, safety and welfare by facilitating the production of housing to address the needs of all Upland residents, including those of all ages, incomes, household sizes and persons with disabilities.
D. Finding: The proposed General Plan Amendment has been processed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the California Government Code and CEQA.
Evidence: The 2021-2029 Housing Element amendment has been processed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the California Government Code, including Government Code §65352.3 which regulates tribal consultation requirements for General Plan Amendments and Government Code §65358 which regulates amendments to General Plans. The project is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") (California Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq.), pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines §15061(b)(3), §15162(a) and §15283 because the Housing Element would not approve any development project or other physical change to the environment.
Section 2. Compliance with California Environmental Quality Act. The General Plan amendment is exempt from the CEQA Guidelines 14 Cal. Code. Regs Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Project may have a significant effect on the environment. The Project is further exempt pursuant to 14 Cal. Code. Regs Section 15162(a) of the CEQA Guidelines. Further, to the extent the Regional Housing Needs determinations are made, the Project is further exempt from the CEQA Guidelines 14 Cal. Code. Regs Section 15283, which provides, “CEQA does not apply to regional housing needs determinations made by the Department of Housing and Community Development, a council of governments, or a city or county pursuant to Section 65584 of the Government Code.”
Section 3. Determination. The City Council adopts General Plan Amendment No. 22-0001, a comprehensive update to the Upland Housing Element for the 2021- 2029 planning period as shown in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein
Resolution No.
by reference. In adopting the Housing Element amendment the City Council has considered the comments of HCD and determines that the Housing Element has been revised to address each HCD comment and substantially complies with the requirements of State law. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65583.2(g) the City Council finds and determines that the Housing Element’s analysis of underutilized sites identified to accommodate the City’s assigned share of lower-income regional housing needs is based upon substantial evidence that the existing uses do not constitute an impediment to additional residential development during the planning period.
Section 4. The City Manager is directed to transmit the adopted Housing Element to HCD in conformance with Government Code Section 65585(g). The City Manager is further directed to make any technical or clerical revisions to the Housing Element that may be necessary to address the concerns of HCD and obtain a finding of substantial compliance.
Section 4. Certification. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Resolution and enter it into the book of original resolutions.
Section 5. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, or clause or phrase in this Resolution or any part thereof is for any reason held to be unconstitutional, invalid or ineffective by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the remaining portions of this Resolution or any part thereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted each section irrespective of the fact that any one or more subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, or phrases are declared unconstitutional, invalid, or ineffective.
Section 6. Effective Date. This Resolution shall become effective immediately.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 24th day of October, 2022.
Bill Velto, Mayor
I, Keri Johnson, City Clerk of the City of Upland, do hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council held on the 24th day of October, 2022, by the following vote:

1. INTRODUCTION
A. Background
The State of California recognizes that an adequate supply of affordable housing for all income levels is a fundamental need for all communities. To achieve that goal, it is critical that all local governments share in the responsibility of implementing solutions to address local and regional housing needs. To that end, all California local governments are required to prepare a Housing Element that specifies how the community will plan for its housing needs.
The detailed statutory requirements for Housing Elements are codified in the California Government Code (§§65580–65589). The Housing Element must contain an identification and analysis of its existing and projected housing needs; an analysis of governmental and nongovernmental constraints to meeting those needs; and goals, policies, programs and objectives to further the development, improvement, and preservation of housing.
This Housing Element includes the following six sections:
• Chapter 1, Introduction provides an introduction to the statutory authority and requirements for the Housing Element, related planning efforts, and a description of the public outreach process. • Chapter 2, Community Profile provides an analysis of demographic and housing characteristics; current and future housing needs; and analysis of fair housing issues. • Chapter 3, Constraints Analysis provides an analysis of the governmental and nongovernmental constraints that affect the development, maintenance, and improvement of housing for all income groups. • Chapter 4, Housing Resources provides an analysis of the available land for housing, as well as the financial resources and administrative capacity to manage housing programs. • Chapter 5, Program Evaluation provides a review of the City’s accomplishments relative to the programs and objectives established in the prior Housing Element.
• Chapter 6, Housing Plan establishes goals, policies, and implementation programs to address the development, improvement, and conservation of housing to address housing needs in Upland for the next 8 years.
B. Related Plans
This Housing Element is related to several other local planning efforts, some of which are mandated by the State of California or the federal government. The most important of these related plans and programs are summarized below.
• General Plan Consistency. The Housing Element is a component of the City’s General Plan and must be consistent with other General Plan elements. The sites identified in this Housing Element for future housing development are correlated with the Land Use Plan shown in the Land Use Element. The City will maintain consistency between General Plan elements by ensuring that any proposed changes in this Housing Element that would result in an inconsistency with another element will be reconciled through amendments to other elements. As an example, a Housing Element program calling for changes to land
Revised Draft | October 2022
City of Upland General Plan | Housing Element Page H-2
use designations to create additional capacity for future housing development would be implemented through amendments to the Land Use Element.
• Water and Sewer Services. The Water Division of the Public Works Department, San Antonio Water Company, West End Consolidated Water Company, and Water District of Southern California provide water to Upland residents. The Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA) and the City provide wastewater services in Upland. In accordance with State law, the City provides a copy of its Housing Element to each water and wastewater service agency. These agencies are required to establish a priority system for water and sewer services to housing projects serving lower-income households in accordance with Section 65589.7 of the Government Code.
• City of Upland Consolidated Plan. The City of Upland is an entitlement jurisdiction and receives housing and community development funds directly from the federal government. Upland’s Consolidated Plan was last revised for the 2021–2024 period. The housing, community development, and economic needs identified in the Consolidated Plan have been evaluated as part of the 2021 Housing Element update process to ensure that these efforts work together to address the community’s needs. The Housing Element also reflects the public housing agency plan prepared by the Upland Housing Authority.
C. Public Outreach
The Housing Element Update process provided numerous opportunities for Upland residents and other stakeholders to be involved in shaping the City’s housing policies and programs. From the outset, diligent efforts were made to involve all economic segments of the community and persons with special needs in the development of the housing element. A list of community stakeholders was compiled based upon City knowledge and previous projects including the Upland Consolidated Plan, and direct mail notice was sent to all parties inviting them to participate. As an entitlement city, Upland also conducts an extensive public outreach process every four years as part of the Consolidated Plan process.
The following is a summary of the outreach activities that were held over the course of the Housing Element update. Table H-1 below provides a summary of public comments received during preparation of the Housing Element and how those comments are addressed in the Housing Element. Written correspondence received during the course of the Housing Element update is provided in Appendix D. Copies of HCD’s review letters and summaries of the City’s revisions to the Housing Element in response to HCD comments are also available as part of the Planning Commission and City Council meeting materials posted on the City’s Housing Element website ( https://www.uplandca.gov/2021-2029-housing-element-update) . • Housing Element Interest List. At the beginning of the Housing Element update process the City compiled a list of agencies, organizations and other stakeholders with expertise in housing issues, particularly those that provide or advocate for lower-income households and persons with special needs.
The City distributed notices of public meetings to these parties by direct mail or email prior to each meeting. • Housing Element Website. At the beginning of the update process a web page was created on the City’s website where background information, meeting notices, draft documents, and other relevant materials regarding the Housing Element update were posted. The website was updated throughout the course of the project.
Revised Draft | October 2022
City of Upland General Plan | Housing Element Page H-3
• Frequently Asked Questions. The City prepared an FAQ containing background information regarding Housing Element requirements, including the RHNA process and assessment of housing needs, which was posted on the Housing Element web page.
• Public Workshops. The City held two public workshops with the City Council and Planning Commission in February and June 2021 prior to the preparation of the draft Housing Element to provide decision- makers and interested stakeholders with background information on Housing Element requirements and to solicit comments regarding housing needs and policy options. Public comments were considered in the preparation of the draft Housing Element, which was posted for public review on September 16, 2021. • Joint Study Session. After preparing the draft Housing Element and prior to submitting the draft to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), a joint study session was held on September 23, 2021 with the Planning Commission and City Council to review the draft Housing Element and its goals, policies, and implementation programs. Stakeholders on the Housing Element interest list were invited to attend and offer comments on the draft Housing Element. The draft Housing Element was then revised to incorporate comments received at this meeting.
Comments on the draft Housing Element focused on housing affordability and the challenges faced by local governments in addressing those needs. Specific comments included the following:
✓ The elimination of the redevelopment agency has diminished the City’s ability to address housing problems
✓ ADUs provide opportunities for affordable housing but also bring challenges such as adequate parking ✓ More housing also increases the City’s cost of providing adequate services such as infrastructure and public safety
• HCD Review. The draft Housing Element was submitted to HCD for review on September 24, 2021. On November 22, 2021 HCD issued a letter finding that the draft element addresses many statutory requirements; however, revisions will be necessary to comply with State Housing Element Law. • Planning Commission Review. After receiving HCD’s November 22, 2021 review, a revised draft Housing Element was prepared addressing HCD’s comments. The revised draft Housing Element was posted for public review on March 16, 2022 and a public meeting was held by the Planning Commission on March 23, 2022 to review HCD comments, other public comments and the revised draft Housing Element. An agenda and invitation to attend the meeting was sent to all parties on the Housing Element interest list. Comments offered at the meeting included whether changes to parking requirements would result in adequate parking for new housing developments. A letter dated February 28, 2022 was also submitted by YIMBY Law (see Appendix D).
• HCD Review #2. Following the March 23, 2022 Planning Commission meeting the revised draft Housing Element was submitted to HCD for review on March 24, 2022. On May 23, 2022 HCD issued a letter finding that the draft element addresses some statutory requirements described in HCD’s November 22, 2021 review; however, additional revisions are necessary to fully comply with State Housing Element Law. • Planning Commission Public Hearing. After receiving HCD’s May 23, 2022 comments a revised draft Housing Element was prepared addressing HCD’s comments. The revised draft Housing Element was posted for public review on September 29, 2022 and on October 5, 2022 the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to review the revised draft Housing Element. At the conclusion of the hearing
Revised Draft | October 2022
City of Upland General Plan | Housing Element Page H-4
the Planning Commission adopted a recommendation for City Council approval of the Housing Element.
In addition to the formal public hearing notice, direct notice of the hearing was provided to all parties on the Housing Element stakeholder list.
• City Council Public Hearing. TBD
Chapter 5, the Housing Plan, describes the City’s goals, policies and specific program actions over the next 8 years to address issues raised during the public outreach process (see also Table H-1).
Table H-1 Public Comment Summary
Comment Response
There is a limited amount of vacant land remaining for
housing development in Upland. The RHNA goals assigned
to the city are far higher than in the past. How can the city achieve these goals?
The availability of vacant land suitable for housing
development is a significant problem in most cities in
Southern California, particularly those that are near major employment centers. Over the past several decades, most of the vacant properties in the urban areas without major
development constraints such as steep slopes, floodplains, or wildland fire hazards have already been developed.
Therefore, a large component of new housing development is occurring through redevelopment of previously developed properties that are economically or physically underutilized.
Appendix B of the Housing Element identifies underutilized properties that are suitable for redevelopment and the
following programs encourage the redevelopment of those properties for housing or mixed use: Program 5: Adequate Sites to Accommodate Regional Housing Needs; Program 6:
Specific Plans; Program 7: Reduce Potential Constraints to Housing Development; Program 8: Accessory Dwelling Units; Program 10. Neighborhood Improvements; Program 13.
Housing Incentives.
Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) can provide additional
housing opportunities.
ADUs are an important strategy for meeting housing needs, especially for single persons and small households. The City encourages production of ADUs through a variety of methods as described in Program 8: Accessory Dwelling Units.
Past underproduction of housing has resulted in higher prices and rents that make it difficult for younger persons to live in the community. A market-based solution is needed to provide more housing.
Many factors contribute to high housing cost, and the
problem is not unique to California. While cities play an important role in housing production, there are also many factors that are beyond the City’s control, such as housing speculators and investors, State environmental regulations, private business decisions, the cost of labor and materials, federal economic policies, interest rates, etc.
The following programs are intended to facilitate housing production in Upland: Program 5: Adequate Sites to
Accommodate Regional Housing Needs; Program 6: Specific Plans; Program 7: Reduce Potential Constraints to Housing Development; Program 8: Accessory Dwelling Units;
Program 10. Neighborhood Improvements; Program 13.
Housing Incentives.
How will the City pay for the additional cost of providing public services to new housing?
California cities face major fiscal challenges in providing public services. After the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978 and its limitation on local governments’ property tax
revenues, local governments have faced increased difficulty in providing and financing appropriate public services and

facilities to serve residents. One of the main consequences of Proposition 13 has been the shift in funding of new
infrastructure from general tax revenues to development impact fees and improvement requirements on developers, which has contributed to increased housing costs.
The Housing Element addresses this issue by encouraging efficient housing development patterns and provision of infrastructure as described in Program 5: Adequate Sites to Accommodate Regional Housing Needs; Program 6: Specific Plans; Program 7: Reduce Potential Constraints to Housing Development; Program 8: Accessory Dwelling Units;
Program 9. Water Priority System; Program 10.
Neighborhood Improvements; Program 13. Housing
Incentives; and Program 17: Administrative Capacity.
Prioritize rezoning in high resource, historically exclusionary neighborhoods. Many of the highest resource neighborhoods with the best access to jobs, good schools, and other
amenities have histories of exclusion which are still reflected in their zoning. Cities should rezone to allow more housing opportunities in those neighborhoods, particularly those with low Vehicle Miles Traveled, as part of their Housing
Elements.
It is important to recognize that the residential areas of the city are nearly built-out, and State laws already facilitate more housing opportunities in existing residential areas through ADUs and SB 9 lot splits. Redevelopment in
residential areas also could lead to displacement of existing occupants. Commercial and industrial areas have the
greatest opportunity for additional housing.
The following programs are intended to facilitate housing production in all areas of Upland: Program 5: Adequate Sites to Accommodate Regional Housing Needs; Program 6:
Specific Plans; Program 7: Reduce Potential Constraints to Housing Development; Program 8: Accessory Dwelling Units; Program 10. Neighborhood Improvements; Program 13.
Housing Incentives.
Establish a strong tenant protection ordinance so that new housing benefits everyone. Development should not
permanently displace current residents. Housing replacement programs, temporary housing vouchers, right of return, and demolition controls will create stability for renters while allowing new homes to be built for new households and to accommodate the growth associated with RHNA. In your
sites inventory and rezoning programs, you should prioritize development on sites with owner-occupied housing &
commercial uses over those with existing rent-controlled apartments or other rental housing with lower income
residents.
Strong tenant protections are already provided under State and Federal law. The City helps to facilitate tenant protection through partnerships with fair housing organizations and enforcement of existing laws. The following programs
address this comment: Program 2: HOME Improvement;
Program 4. Rental Acquisition and Rehabilitation; Program 5:
Adequate Sites to Accommodate Regional Housing Needs;
Program 12: Rental Housing Assistance; Program 13.
Housing Incentives; Program 14: Mobile Home Rent
Stabilization; Program 15: Affordable Housing at Risk of Conversion to Market Rate; Program 17: Administrative
Capacity; Program 18: Housing for People with Disabilities or other Special Needs; Program 19: Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing.
Support homeownership opportunities for historically
excluded groups. Homeownership continues to be a path to building financial security and inter-generational wealth, which has been systematically denied to many Americans.
As a society, we need to make this right by intentionally offering opportunities to communities who have been
excluded. The housing element should identify opportunities to create a variety of for-sale housing types and create programs to facilitate property ownership among excluded groups.
The City helps to facilitate homeownership for all segments of the community through the following programs: Program 2:
HOME Improvement; Program 3: Emergency Repairs for
Homeowners; Program 5: Adequate Sites to Accommodate
Regional Housing Needs; Program 11. Homeownership
Assistance; Program 13. Housing Incentives; Program 17:
Administrative Capacity; Program 19: Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing.

Adequately plan for density. Ensure that a site’s density will accommodate the number of homes that are projected to be built. In addition, make sure height limits, setback
requirements, FAR, and other controls allow for adequate density and the ability to achieve a site’s realistic capacity.
Housing will not be feasible if you have a high density paired with low height limits. This density should be emphasized around jobs and transit and should go beyond the Mullin density in those areas.
The following programs are intended to facilitate housing production at appropriate densities in Upland: Program 5:
Adequate Sites to Accommodate Regional Housing Needs;
Program 6: Specific Plans; Program 7: Reduce Potential
Constraints to Housing Development; Program 13. Housing Incentives.
Provide sufficient zoned capacity to accommodate all income levels, including a minimum No Net Loss buffer of 30%. Not every site will be developed at maximum density during the eight-year planning period. Identify an ample amount of opportunity sites and zone the sites to accommodate lower- income housing types (usually a statutory minimum of 30 dwelling units per acre) to give the city the best chance at meeting its RHNA.
The Housing Plan identifies sites and zoning strategies to accommodate all income levels as assigned through the
RHNA. State law (Government Code 65583.2(h)) requires
zoning to accommodate 100% (not 130%) of the RHNA
allocation for lower-income households.
The following programs are intended to facilitate housing production at appropriate densities in Upland: Program 5:
Adequate Sites to Accommodate Regional Housing Needs;
Program 6: Specific Plans; Program 7: Reduce Potential
Constraints to Housing Development; Program 13. Housing Incentives.
Use data from the 5th Cycle to calculate the likelihood of development for your 6th Cycle site inventory Likelihood of development is a measure of the probability of an inventory site being developed during the planning period. The median likelihood of development across the state is 25%, meaning only one of every four sites will likely be developed during the planning period for the median city. Incorporating the
likelihood of development into the zoned capacity will set the city up to successfully achieve their RHNA, making the
housing element less of a paper exercise and more of an actionable, functional document.
Calculating the likelihood of development on the basis of development during the previous housing cycle is not a valid methodology for estimating current potential for development due to significant changes in market conditions over the past decade. The “Great Recession” that began in 2007-08
resulted in an near-catastrophic collapse in property values and housing construction, particularly in the Inland Empire.
The RHNA is a planning goal, and cities are required to identify adequate sites that could accommodate the RHNA allocation. State law recognizes that cities do not have control over many aspects of the development process, and therefore achieving the RHNA is not a legal mandate. Many strategies have been suggested that the State Legislature could adopt to stimulate housing production, such as CEQA reform and real estate tax policy, but it has declined to do so.
To address this comment, the following programs identify actions the City intends to take to facilitate additional housing development: Program 5: Adequate Sites to Accommodate
Regional Housing Needs; Program 6: Specific Plans;
Program 7: Reduce Potential Constraints to Housing
Development; Program 8: Accessory Dwelling Units;
Program 10. Neighborhood Improvements; Program 13.
Housing Incentives.
Commit to an automatic mid-cycle adjustment if ADU
permitting activity is lower than estimated in the housing element. We highly recommend complying with HCD’s
standards of using one of its “safe harbor” methodologies to anticipate future ADU production. However, if the city is optimistic about ADU growth, then creating an automatic mid- cycle adjustment will automatically facilitate alternative housing options (i.e., a rezoning program, removing

development constraints, ADU incentives, etc.) if the city falls behind the estimated ADU production.
Incentivize new ADUs, including those that are rent-restricted for moderate or lower-income households or that are
prioritized for households with housing choice vouchers.
Consider offering low- or no-interest loans, forgivable loans, impact fee waivers for ADUs that are 750 square feet or larger, allowances to facilitate two-story and second-story ADU construction, etc.
It should be noted that ADU regulations beyond those
authorized in State law is prohibited. Also, after the State’s dissolution of redevelopment agencies a significant source of City funding for housing was eliminated. Many worthwhile housing activities now compete for scarce public subsidies such as CDBG and HOME funds. This comment is also
addressed in Program 8: Accessory Dwelling Units.
Allow residential to be built in areas that are zoned for commercial use. There are a myriad of ways to do this, but a housing overlay is one common policy. Additionally, consider eliminating new commercial space in mixed-use
developments where there is not a strong demand or there is otherwise a glut of commercial space that is unused or
frequently vacant.
The following programs are intended to facilitate housing production in areas currently zoned for commercial use:

Allow flexibility in inclusionary zoning. Cities should require different percentages for different AMI levels. Additionally, we urge cities to incentivize land dedication to affordable developers in order for market-rate developers to meet their inclusionary requirements. Avoid getting trapped into thinking that the affordable units must be “sprinkled throughout” the market-rate units, or require the market-rate units to look exactly the same as the affordable ones. This should be balanced against not locating all of the affordable units in one place and ghettoizing neighborhoods by creating or
perpetuating racially concentrated areas of poverty.
“Inclusionary housing” refers to a requirement that a portion of new housing is made available at affordable rents or prices. There are valid arguments among experts for and against such policies, and each city must evaluate whether inclusionary requirements are appropriate. There are
currently no inclusionary requirements in Upland, and
inclusionary housing is not a requirement of State housing law.
Ensure that the city has a ministerial process for housing permitting, especially multi-family housing, and remove impact fees for deed-restricted housing. A discretionary process for housing development creates uncertainty and adds to the cost of construction. For example, multi-family housing should not require a conditional use permit or city council approval unless the builder is asking for unique and extraordinary concessions. Right-sizing governmental
constraints, entitlement processes, and impact fees will help the city successfully meet its RHNA.
This comment is addressed in Program 7: Reduce Potential Constraints to Housing Development. With regard to impact fees, the elimination of such fees for affordable housing would need to be backfilled from another source or there would be insufficient funds to provide the public facilities paid for by impact fees. There are limited sources of funding that could be used to offset that loss.
Reduce parking standards and eliminate parking minimums.
Minimum parking requirements are a major constraint on
housing, especially for lower cost housing types. They can cost in excess of $30,000 per spot and can raise rents by as much as 17%, and eliminating them is particularly important for smaller & other spatially constrained sites. Consider adopting a parking maximum.
This comment is addressed in Program 7: Reduce Potential Constraints to Housing Development.
Cap fees on all new housing. Most construction costs are outside the City’s control, but reducing impact fees can demonstrate that a city is serious about building new
housing. At a minimum, cities should delay the collection of impact fees until the issuance of the certificate of occupancy to reduce financial impacts on new housing and make the The City is serious about facilitating the construction of new housing. However, this comment disregards the fact that impact fees are determined by the cost of providing public services and facilities, and cannot be reduced without
rendering the services financially infeasible.

units cheaper by not asking the developer to carry impact fee charges or debt throughout the construction phase.
Provide local funding. One of the largest barriers to building new affordable homes is the lack of city/county funds
available to assemble sites, provide gap funding, and to pay for dedicated staff. Without new funding, especially at the local level, we will not be able to build more affordable homes. There are three new revenue streams that should be considered: 1) Transfer tax, a one-time payment levied by a jurisdiction on the sale of a home, may be utilized to raise much needed revenue to fund affordable homes; 2) Vacancy tax may be collected on vacant land to convince landowners to sell their underutilized properties and be used to fund the construction of affordable homes; 3) Commercial linkage fees should be adopted or revisited for increases on new
commercial developments.
This comment correctly notes that public funding is a major limiting factor on affordable housing development. However, increased taxes on real estate is not a universally accepted strategy for raising additional funding. A statewide real estate transfer tax of $1.10 per $1,000 is assessed on transactions.
In addition, SB 2 of 2017 (the Building Homes and Job Act) requires County Recorders to charge an additional $75 fee at the time of recording every real estate instrument, paper, or notice, except those expressly exempted from payment of recording fees, per each transaction per parcel of real property, not to exceed $225 per single transaction. Funds raised by this fee are used to support affordable housing.
